Background.

"Strike Fighters Project 1" was released in 2002. The initial reviews were of a poor unfinished game that had some exceptional 3D models of aircraft. In fact an early unfinished release of the game was sold by the leading US chain store.

Story.

The storyline of Strike Fighters is set during a fictional conflict between the Kingdom of Dhimar and the Empire of Paran. The story begins in 1919, when geologists discover oil in the Valley of Kerman, a place at the Dhimari-Parani border. When drilling operations begin in the oil fields, Shah Mushani of Paran sends his troops across the border, beginning a long conflict between the nations.  In September 1933, Shah Mushani decides to put a halt to the conflict, following numerous attempts to capture the Mazadran oil fields. While Dhimar becomes a wealthy and economically powerful country, Paran has become poor. In February 1957, Halani Khomar, a Soviet-backed revolutionary leader, stages a bloody coup against the Mushani regime. Once in power, Khomar begins building up the Parani military forces, buying the newest fighter aircraft and tanks from the Soviet Union.  King Husani Karmar al'Galbhi of Dhimar, fearing a new war, decides to approach the United States for military assistance. Tensions between the two countries culminate in two years of terrorist attacks in Dhimari border cities. In June 1959, the Dhimari ports become subject to a Parani naval blockade, stopping all shipping from and to Dhimar. Prince Fa'ad al'Galbhi, commander of the Dhimari Air Force, starts an emergency buildup of air power by creating several Special Operations Wings, manned by foreign mercenary pilots willing to fight. In July, the US dispatches US Naval and Air Force squadrons to assist their ally.  In September 1959, a mass Parani offensive is launched towards the Valley of Kerman and the Mazadran oil fields, and the game picks up here.

Strike Fighters: Project 1 is a combat flight simulator PC game that primarily centers on a fictitious conflict in the Middle East between the Kingdom of Dhimar and the Empire of Paran, two sides of a proxy war between the United States and the Soviet Union, between the late 1950s and the early 1970s. Although the countries and conflict may not be real the aircraft and weapons used are completely accurate.

History.

Knob Noster was platted in 1856. A town in the eastern part of Washington Township, laid out in 1856 by William A. Wortham, and incorporated by act of legislature December 14, 1859. All authorities agree that the name is connected with the prominent mound or knob (or knobs) that stand isolated on the prairie near the town. The second part of the name is said to have been suggested by a school teacher, but its origin is uncertain. Eaton derives it from the Latin, interpreting the whole name as a barbarous mixture signifying "Our Knobs," an etymology which seems unlikely. Further light on the source of the name is needed. The town was removed to its present site when the Pacific Railroad was built. A post office has been in operation in Knob Noster since 1846.

History.

Early people.

The indigenous people of the area were the Wenatchi people, who were sustained by abundant game and anadromous fish. The Wenatchee River, which runs through Cashmere, was historically home to coho, chinook, and sockeye salmon, as well as steelhead. These wild stocks have been severely impacted by the dams on the Columbia River, although several runs still exist. The Wenatchi people were displaced to the Colville Indian Reservation by the federal government, but still claim some fishing rights in the area.

First Europeans and settlement.

The first European to enter the Mission Valley was Catholic missionary Father Respari, of the Oblate Fathers, in the 1850s. He lived among the Wenatchi people for twenty years teaching them his religion. He was succeeded in the 1870s by Jesuit missionary Father Urban Grassi who built the St. Francis Xavier Mission in 1873. After the missionaries' departure, the valley was next settled in the 1880s by ranchers and squatters. There were enough settlers in the area to necessitate the construction of a one-room schoolhouse in 1886. This sparse settlement was later known as Old Mission, after the Catholic missions of past. No true town existed until George Kline opened the first store further down the valley in 1888 to serve the burgeoning ranch population. A post office was soon established and Kline was appointed postmaster. The town was named "Mission" after the early missionaries.

Railroad and irrigation.

In 1892, it was revealed that the Great Northern Railroad would be building its main line through the valley and Mission was platted between the right-of-way and the Wenatchee River in hopes of receiving a station stop on the new line. It did not receive a station at that time and no boom occurred when the railroad came. Not until 1900 did Cashmere become a flag stop and a small section house was built, manned by two employees. This small building was preserved and today exists on the property of the Cashmere Museum and Pioneer Village.  The prosperity the railroads brought revived local interest to irrigate the arid valley. In 1892, a stock company was formed with a capital stock of $5000. Local men took out mile contracts to help dig the ditch. At a great personal expense to many involved, the Peshastin Ditch was completed within twelve years. Following its activation, the town as well as the entire area, blossomed. Through the 1900s, Mission grew in earnest. The town was becoming a shipping point for the growing fruit and agricultural industry in the valley. Within several years, better rail passenger service was demanded by citizens and a new, larger depot was built in 1903 and is also still standing in its original place.

Renaming of Mission through 1920.

By 1903 the town's population had reached over 200. Citing confusion of this town, with another in northern Okanogan County (that no longer exists), that same year, Mission and the entire valley were renamed for Kashmir, as local judge James H. Chase claimed it resembled the foothills of that region. The spelling was changed to a more Americanized "Cashmere". Cashmere was incorporated in 1904 and continued to prosper with the opening of the Mission Canal later that year which turned hundreds of acres of dry-unusable land into fertile farm land. Seattle investors purchased large tracts of land in and around Cashmere and constructed the town's first hotel and saloon in 1905. A library was established in 1908 by the town's Woman's club. By 1909, Cashmere housed three banks. Telephone service was installed in 1909 followed by paved sidewalks in 1913, electric lights in 1914 and paved streets in 1919.

1920s-1930s.

The Cashmere chapter of the Ku Klux Klan was organized in August 1922. Nearly 400 people attended a 1924 meeting at the Cashmere Methodist Episcopal Church. A Cashmere band performed in a parade for the 1926 state convention in Wenatchee.  In August 1931, a pow wow took place over the course of three days to call attention to the unfulfilled treaty agreements to the Wenatchi people, including the Wenatchupam Fishery, and boost the Cashmere economy. The encampment was composed of tipis on the land of Mary Felix, one of the few Wenatchi people remaining, in Yaksum canyon. It was estimated that nearly 700 Native Americans attended, including 250 Wenatchi who traveled from Colville and Yakama reservations. Notable guests included leaders from other tribes and Governor Roland H. Hartley. Proceeds went to restore the cemetery on the other side of Highway 2.

Industries and agriculture.

The Cashmere area has a rich history of tree fruit production, starting with the first pioneers. With the construction of the Peshastin irrigation ditch in the 1890s, ranches and sagebrush gave away to lush orchards climbing up the walls of the valley. While apples grow very well, the soils and climate are ideal for the production of pears. Bartlett and D'Anjou varieties are well represented. It is said that Cashmere might be the best place to grow pears in the US. Beginning in the 1910s, a number of orchards were opened in Cashmere to take advantage of the area's balmy climate. While many orchards have given way to development, the history of fruit production is still evident in the many orchards and historical fruit warehouses in the area. Overdevelopment is a real threat to the agricultural heritage of the area; the agreeable climate and outstanding scenery attract many people to the area.  The history of the area is also tied to timber production. Cashmere was the home of a large sawmill. The first settlers found abundant ponderosa pine ("Pinus ponderosa") and Douglas-fir trees. These timbers were of the highest quality because of the arid climate, which causes the trees to grow very slowly, keeping a tight grain.

Operational history.

"Rendova", named after the landings on Rendova, completed shakedown in early January 1946, and reported for duty with the 1st Fleet in February. During March, she conducted exercises off the west coast, but in April, her complement was reduced to a maintenance crew. Immobilized at San Diego for a year, she remained on the active list as the administrative headquarters for Carrier Division 15 (CarDiv 15). In the spring of 1947, she returned to full active duty and for the next year conducted training exercises off the west coast and in the Hawaiian Islands.  On 1 April 1948, she departed San Francisco en route to Turkey with a cargo of AT-6 training planes for that country's air force. Steaming via the Panama Canal, she arrived at Yesilkoy 28 April, off loaded her cargo, and continued her voyage 4 May. She moved south to Suez, thence crossed the Indian and Pacific Oceans. With numerous good will visits en route, she returned to San Diego 1 July, only to depart again on another mission, this time to Tsingtao, on the 28th. At Tsingtao 23 – 27 August, she was back in San Diego, her homeport, in late September and through the fall trained on the west coast. With the new year, 1949, she again sailed west; operated between Tsingtao and Okinawa until mid-April; then returned to her homeport and resumed 1st Fleet training operations. In October, she arrived at Bremerton, where, after overhaul, she was decommissioned, 27 January 1950, and berthed with the Pacific Reserve Fleet.  "Rendova" and crew were present for two nuclear tests during Operation Ivy. The official names of the test were Ivy Mike and Ivy King. Crew were subjected to minimal exposure, officially rated to be.02 rem gamma total. The blasts were held near Eluklab Island. "Rendova" was present for both atmospheric and ground testing. These tests were the first ever successful detonations of hydrogen bombs.

Korean war.

Six months later the North Korean Army crossed the 38th Parallel and "Rendova" was ordered activated. Recommissioned 3 January 1951, she reported for duty in April and on 3 July steamed west. She arrived at Yokosuka 2 August; underwent further training off Okinawa; then on 20 September, arrived at Kobe to relieve as part of CTG 95.1.  On the 22nd, she completed embarking personnel, planes (F4Us), and equipment of Marine Fighter Squadron (VMF) 212. On the 23rd, she conducted carrier qualifications for the squadron. On the 24th, she loaded ammunition and supplies at Sasebo and on the 25th, she got underway for operating area "Nan" in the Yellow Sea. There she relieved assuming CTE 95.11, and on the 26th, launched her first close air support sortie. During the next months, she cruised off the west coast of Korea, alternating with as CTE 95.11. VMF-212 recorded 1,743 sorties in support of ROK, U.S. Marine, and EUSAK ground forces; enforcing the U.N. blockade; rendering SAR assistance; and flying armed and photo reconnaissance missions. On 17 November, the ship and the squadron established a new sortie record for CVEs – 64.  "Rendova" completed her last support operation 6 December. By the 22nd, she was back at San Diego and with the new year, 1952, she resumed west coast training operations with the 1st Fleet. In September, she sailed west again and for two months participated in Operation "Ivy" – an atomic test series in the Marshalls, then she returned to California.  In commission, in reserve in 1953, she continued her training activities off the west coast, and in 1954 returned to the active fleet and another WestPac deployment, this time as a hunter-killer carrier. Back in California by mid-June, she conducted exercises out of Long Beach until October, then shifted to Mare Island for preinactivation overhaul. She reported to the Pacific Reserve Fleet, San Francisco Group, 2 February 1955 and was decommissioned 30 June. Reclassified AKV-14 in 1959, she remained in the Reserve Fleet until struck from the Navy list 1 April 1971.  "Rendova" earned two battle stars for Korean war service.

USS "Rendova" (CVE-114) was a of the United States Navy. She was originally assigned the name "Mosser Bay" and completed as "Willamette", she was laid down by Todd-Pacific Shipyards, Inc., Tacoma, Washington, 15 June 1944; launched 29 December 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Anna-Marie H. Kurtz; and commissioned 22 October 1945, Capt. R. W. Ruble in command.

Design.

The dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, who described it as a dress that "had to be something that was going to go down in history, but also something that Diana loved", and which would be "suitably dramatic in order to make an impression". Diana Spencer personally selected the designers to make her wedding dress because she was fond of a chiffon blouse they designed for her formal photo session with Lord Snowdon.  The woven silk taffeta was made by Stephen Walters of Suffolk. The Emanuels consulted Maureen Baker, who had made the wedding dress of Princess Anne, during their construction of the gown. One observer wrote "the dress was a crinoline, a symbol of sexuality and grandiosity, a meringue embroidered with pearls and sequins, its bodice frilled with lace". The gown was decorated with hand embroidery, sequins, and 10,000 pearls, centering on a heart motif. An 18-karat gold horseshoe was stitched into the petticoats as a sign of good fortune. The lace used to trim it was antique hand-made Carrickmacross lace which had belonged to Queen Mary. In contrast, the wedding dress of Catherine Middleton, for her marriage to Prince William, Diana's eldest son, incorporated motifs cut from machine-made lace appliquéd to silk net. The dress featured "lace flounces adorning neckline and sleeves".  Fittings of the dress posed difficulties because Diana had developed bulimia and dropped from a size 14 to a size 10 in the months leading up to the wedding. Even the seamstress was concerned about her weight loss and feared the dress might not fit as it should.  The twenty-five-foot train posed problems. According to writer Andrew Morton, in "Diana: Her True Story", the gown's designers realized too late that they had forgotten to allow for the train's length in relation to the size of the glass coach Diana and her father rode in to the ceremony. They found it difficult to fit inside the glass coach, and the train was badly crushed despite Diana's efforts. This accounted for the visible wrinkles in the wedding gown when she arrived at the cathedral. Diana also had a spare wedding dress, which would have acted as a stand-in if the dress' design was revealed before her big day.

Reception and influence.

The dress set wedding fashion trends after the wedding. Large puffed sleeves, a full skirt and "soft touch fabrics" became popular requests. Copies by other dressmakers were available "within hours" of the 1981 wedding.  Many bridal experts considered the dress a "gold standard" in wedding fashion in the years after the wedding. Continued appreciation for the dress was not universal. One 2004 bridal magazine listed it as "too much dress, too little princess." Nevertheless, Elizabeth Emanuel noted in 2011 that she still received requests for replicas of Diana's dress.  In his 2003 memoir, "A Royal Duty", Paul Burrell wrote that Diana had wanted the dress to be part of the fashion collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.  The dress toured for many years with the exhibition "Diana: A Celebration", though generally it stayed for only part of the exhibit. Althorp House, Northampton was the prime display location for the dress. Diana's dress transferred ownership from her brother to her sons in 2014 because she had requested that her belongings be handed back to them when they both turned 30. Her engagement ring was given to Prince William, while the wedding dress was given to Prince Harry.  In 2018, the dress was chosen as one of the "Most Influential British Royal Wedding Dresses of All Time" by "Time" magazine.

The wedding dress of Lady Diana Spencer was worn by the bride at her wedding to Charles, Prince of Wales, on 29 July 1981 at St Paul's Cathedral. Diana wore an ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown, with a 25-foot (7.62 m) train and a 153-yard tulle veil, valued at £151,000 (). It became one of the most famous dresses in the world, and was considered one of the most closely guarded secrets in fashion history.

Geography.

Baishiya Karst Cave is located in Ganjia (), Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu, China, on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. It lies on the southern side of Dalijiashan Mountain, at the foot of a white cliff. The cave is situated in the Ganjia Basin, at the mouth of the Jiangla River, a tributary of the Yangqu River. The cave is over in length. Within from the entrance, the cave's winter daytime temperature is normally, suitable for habitation in the harsh winters of the Tibetan Plateau.

Religion.

Baishiya Karst Cave is a Tibetan Buddhist sanctuary lying north of Baishiya Temple. Said to be a former abode of Padmasambhava and the bodhisattva Tara, it is a popular location for monks to fast and meditate. It is also a pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists and a tourist attraction. In 1982, the 10th Panchen Lama paid homage to the site. According to legend, the cave is more than long and goes all the way to Xunhua County in Qinghai province.

Fossils.

In 1980, a Tibetan monk who was meditating in the cave discovered the Xiahe mandible. He passed the fossil to, the sixth tulku, who donated it to Lanzhou University. The mandible was so unusual that researchers did not know how to classify it. Scientists Chen Fahu and Zhang Dongju began studying the site in 2010, while collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology began in 2016. The first archaeological survey at the site was performed in 2016, while the first systematic excavation did not take place until 2018. Several lithic artefacts and animal bones with cut marks were discovered at the entrance to the cave.  The Xiahe mandible consists of the right half of a partial mandible with two attached molars. By way of protein analysis, researchers concluded that the Xiahe specimen belonged to a population that was closely related to the Denisovan specimens from Denisova Cave. This is the first time that an ancient hominin was successfully identified using only protein analysis. It is the most complete known Denisovan fossil. "Discover", "Science News" and "Nova" all named the discovery in their lists of Top Science Stories of 2019.

Baishiya Karst Cave () is a Tibetan Buddhist sanctuary and a high-altitude paleoanthropological site located on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau in Xiahe County, Gansu, China. This karst cave is the site of the discovery of the earliest hominin fossil found on the Tibetan Plateau, the Xiahe mandible. The mandible, by way of palaeoproteomic analysis, is the first confirmed discovery of a Denisovan fossil outside of Denisova Cave. This fossil discovery shows that archaic hominins were present in a high-altitude, low-oxygen environment by around 160,000 years ago.

Planning and acquisition.

The search for a replacement for the aging "Sea Wolf"-class missile gunboats, which entered into service in 1972, started in the mid-1990s. The United States, Sweden and France participated in the bid for the contract. In March 2000, the Singapore Ministry of Defence awarded the contract to DCNS for the design and construction of six frigates. A key feature of the contract was the technology transfer arrangement. Under the arrangement, DCNS was to design and build the first frigate in its Lorient yard in France while the remaining five frigates were to be built locally by Singapore Technologies (ST) Marine at its Benoi yard in Singapore. Subsequent maintenance and mid-life retrofit will be done by ST Marine.  Construction of "Formidable" began in late 2002, when the keel was laid down in Lorient in November 2002.

Design and construction.

Radar cross section (RCS) reduction features have been incorporated into the "Formidable" class design, with inclined hull sides and bulwarks as well as concealment of ship boats and replenishment-at-sea equipment behind low-RCS curtains. The "Formidable" class have a significantly reduced profile than the "La Fayette" class and its other derivatives, due to the smaller superstructure and the use of enclosed sensor mast technology. The frigate is also constructed entirely of steel, unlike the "La Fayette" class which makes extensive use of weight-saving composite structures in its aft superstructure block. The frigates also possess better sea keeping qualities and are able to stay at sea for longer periods of time.

Sensors and systems.

The frigates are equipped with the Thales Herakles passive electronically scanned array multi-function radar, which provides three-dimensional surveillance for up to. The radar provides all-round automatic search and tracking of both air and surface targets, and is integrated with the MBDA Aster air defence system. Utilising the DCNS Sylver vertical launch system (VLS), each frigate is equipped with 32 cells. It is reported that the frigates have a special surface-to-air missile configuration, combining the Thales Herakles radar with the Sylver A50 launcher and a mix of Aster 15 and 30 missiles.  The "Formidable"-class frigates are key nodes within the Singapore Armed Forces' Integrated Knowledge-based Command and Control network, a concept similar to the United States Department of Defense's network-centric warfare doctrine. The locally developed Combat Management System integrates all the sensors and weapon systems on board, and a dual Fast Ethernet data transfer system forms the backbone of this system.  Each frigate has a span of influence that stretches up to about, where it acts as the Navy's mobile operations centre out at sea and receives information from sister ships and aerial assets deployed within the range. The Combat Management System will then make sense of the different data, establish an accurate picture of the area of operations, and send the information back to shore and to its army and air force counterparts. This increases battlespace awareness and allows little time for the enemy to react due to the short sensor-to-shooter loops.

Armament.

The frigates are equipped with Boeing Harpoon missiles and Oto Melara 76 mm guns for surface defence. The Harpoon missile has a range of and uses active radar guidance. It is armed with a warhead. There is space for as many as 24 Harpoon missiles at the center of ship making it the most well armed ship of its class. The gun fires shells to a maximum range of at a firing rate of up to 120 rounds per minute.  The frigates are also equipped with the EDO Corporation active low frequency towed sonar to enable long range submarine detection and classification, as well as EuroTorp A244/S Mod 3 lightweight torpedoes fired from two B515 triple-tube launchers hidden behind the bulwark.  The frigates are equipped with Sikorsky S-70B naval helicopters, an international derivative of the United States Navy Sikorsky SH-60B Seahawk. The Ministry of Defence signed a contract with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in January 2005 to acquire six of these helicopters, which will be organic to the frigates. Each of these naval helicopters are equipped with a Telephonics AN/APS-143 "Ocean Eye" X-band maritime surveillance and tracking radar, a L-3 Communications Helicopter Long Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) dipping sonar, EuroTorp A244/S Mod 3 torpedoes and a Raytheon AAS-44 electro-optic system to provide infrared detection and tracking. The naval helicopters will be raised as a squadron in the Republic of Singapore Air Force and piloted by air force pilots, but the system operators will be from the Navy.

Operational history.

The six frigates form the 185 Squadron of the RSN.  RSS "Formidable" participated in Exercise Malabar 07-2 in September 2007, a Theater Security Cooperation engagement involving the navies of the United States, India, Australia, Japan and Singapore. The exercise involved more than 20,000 personnel on 28 ships and 150 aircraft, including the USS "Kitty Hawk" Carrier Strike Group.  RSS "Intrepid" conducted the navy's inaugural live firing of the French-made Aster 15 surface-to-air missile on 2 April 2008, off the French coast of Toulon. The frigate successfully shot down an aerial drone simulating an enemy target with an Aster missile. It was reported that the frigate sailed halfway round the world to test fire the Aster missiles due to the crowded air and sealanes around Singapore and the lack of an instrumented firing range needed by defence engineers to track and measure the performance of the Aster missile.  RSS "Steadfast" participated in the world's largest multilateral naval exercise RIMPAC for the first time from 27 June to 31 July 2008, which involved 20,000 personnel from 10 countries operating over 35 ships, six submarines and over 150 aircraft. During this exercise, RSS "Steadfast" launched a Harpoon missile on a decommissioned USN warship on 14 July 2008 and also refueled at sea with a contingent of USN vessels. Participation in this exercise also validated the RSN's ability to conduct sustained sea operations.  On 16 November 2009, the Republic of Singapore Air Force established its Peace Triton Sikorsky S-70B Seahawk Naval Helicopter detachment at the USN Maritime Strike Weapons School in San Diego, California to undertake qualification and operational training under the umbrella of the USN's SH-60F Aircraft Qualification Course. RSS "Stalwart" was deployed to southern California to support ship/air integration activities. On 25 March 2010, the Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean announced that the Seahawk integration programme had successfully concluded with a "high-tempo, week-long exercise" involving assets from both the RSN and USN, including five surface ships, a submarine, maritime patrol aircraft and F/A-18 Hornet combat jets.  In September 2012 the RSN deployed RSS "Intrepid" and an S-70B naval helicopter in support of Combined Task Force 151 (CTF 151), a multinational effort to fight piracy in the shipping lanes off Somalia. This was the first operational deployment of a Formidable-class frigate and naval helicopter for counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden. This was followed by a second deployment in March 2014 of a task group comprising RSS "Tenacious" and another S-70B, the fifth such mission undertaken by the SAF.  On 9 March 2014, RSS "Steadfast" was deployed along with other air and sea assets to assist with the search and rescue operations of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.  In December 2014, RSS "Supreme" was deployed in the search for Airasia Flight QZ8501 after it crashed into the Java Sea on 28 December 2014; along with RSS "Valour", RSS "Persistence", RSS "Kallang", MV "Swift Rescue", and two Lockheed C-130H Hercules.

The "Formidable"-class multi-role stealth frigates are the latest surface platforms to enter into service with the Republic of Singapore Navy, and are multi-mission derivatives of the French Navy's. The six ships form the 185 Squadron of the RSN.

Life and career.

Jones grew up in Florida and lived in Buffalo, New York during her high school years. She attended Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, majoring in art history, so she could also take film studies courses at nearby MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  After she won first place at the American Film Institute National Student Festival for her short film "A Weekend Home" (1975), Martin Scorsese, one of the judges, offered her a job as his assistant as he directed "Taxi Driver". It was there that she met her husband cinematographer Michael Chapman. Martin Scorsese told Jones she was “too good to be an assistant” and got her in contact with film producer Roger Corman. She went on to work for Corman editing Joe Dante's first film, "Hollywood Boulevard", when she was 22 years old. She edited "" for Scorsese, "Corvette Summer" for MGM, and "Second-Hand Hearts" for Hal Ashby. She was offered the job of editor on Stephen Spielburg’s E.T, but turned it down in favor of directing her own movie. She directed her first film "The Slumber Party Massacre" by the age of 27, also for Roger Corman.  Jones is featured in the first chapter of Julie MacLusky's book "Is There Life After Film School?" as well as in "The First Time I Got Paid for It" by Peter Lefcourt and Laura J. Shapiro.  Her work on "Indecent Proposal" earned Jones a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screenplay.  Amy Holden Jones is one of the creators of the medical drama "The Resident" which premiered in 2018 and is still airing.  In 2019, Jones signed a new overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV. Jonnie Davis, President of Creative Affairs, said about Jones, “She’s brimming with ideas, and we’re excited to have her continued services on our series as well as her development. She’s an important voice.” Coming from her deal with 20th Century Fox, she is potentially going to be working as co-writer and co-executive producer for a new crime drama at ABC.

History.

"Black Orpheus" was "a journal of African and Afro-American literature" established in 1957 by university professor Ulli Beier. It was produced in Ibadan, Nigeria, and was groundbreaking as the first African literary periodical in English, publishing poetry, art, fiction, literary criticism and commentary. Its editors included Wole Soyinka and Es'kia Mphahlele (1960–64).  Characterised by its pan-African reach, "Black Orpheus" also published in English translation the work of Francophone writers, among them Léopold Senghor, Camara Laye, Aimé Césaire and Hampâté Bâ, as well as playing a significant role in the careers of such notable authors and artists as Wole Soyinka, John Pepper Clark, Gabriel Okara, Dennis Brutus, Kofi Awoonor, Andrew Salkey, Léon Damas, Ama Ata Aidoo, Cyprian Ekwensi, Alex La Guma, Bloke Modisane, Birago Diop, D. O. Fagunwa, Wilson Harris, Valente Malangatana and Ibrahim el-Salahi. Many of them featured in a 1964 anthology edited by Beier, "Black Orpheus: An Anthology of New African and Afro-American Stories", which was published in Lagos, London, Toronto and New York.  "Black Orpheus" is considered to have been one of the world's most influential literary magazines during its existence, with Abiola Irele – the magazine's editor from 1968 – writing in the "Journal of Modern African Studies": "The steady development of "Black Orpheus" over the last seven years amounts to a remarkable achievement. It has succeeded in breaking the vicious circle that seems to inhibit the development of a proper reading public by its continued existence, by its very availability; more than that, it has also gone on to establish itself as one of the most important formative influences in modern African literature....It can be said, without much exaggeration, that the founding of "Black Orpheus", if it did not directly inspire new writing in English-speaking Africa, at least coincided with the first promptings of a new, modern, literary expression and re-inforced it by keeping before the potential writer the example of the achievements of the French-speaking and Negro American writers."  Beier also founded the Mbari Club, in 1961, a cultural hub for African writers that was closely connected with "Black Orpheus", and during the 1960s also acted as a publisher — considered to be the only African-based publisher of African literature at the time — producing 17 titles by African writers.  Having earned a reputation as "the doyen of African literary magazines", "Black Orpheus" eventually ceased publication in 1975.

Black Orpheus was a Nigeria-based literary journal founded in 1957 by German expatriate editor and scholar Ulli Beier that has been described as "a powerful catalyst for artistic awakening throughout West Africa". Its name derived from a 1948 essay by Jean-Paul Sartre, "Orphée Noir", published as a preface to "Anthologie de la nouvelle poésie nègre et malgache", edited by Léopold Sédar Senghor. Beier wrote in an editorial statement ("Black Orpheus" 1) about the fact that "it is still possible for a Nigerian child to leave a secondary school with a thorough knowledge of English literature, but without even having heard of Léopold Sédar Senghor or Aimé Césaire", so "Black Orpheus" became a platform for Francophone as well as Anglophone writers. In 1961, Beier also founded the Mbari Club, a cultural centre for African writers, which was closely connected with "Black Orpheus". The magazine ceased publication in 1975.

En 1961, Beier a également fondé The Mbari Club, un centre culturel pour les écrivains africains, étroitement lié à "".


Superficial inguinal lymph nodes.

They are divided into three groups:  There are approximately ten superficial lymph nodes, and they drain to the deep inguinal lymph nodes. Inguinal lymph nodes may normally be up to 2 cm in size.  They receive lymphatic afferents from the following:

Deep inguinal lymph nodes.

There can be three, four or five deep inguinal lymph nodes. They lie medial to the femoral vein under the cribriform fascia. The uppermost node is in the groin, under the inguinal ligament, and is called Cloquet's node (also Rosenmuller's node). This node is named for French surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, or for German anatomist Johann Christian Rosenmüller. It can also be considered as the lowest of the external iliac lymph nodes. Cloquet's node is also considered as a potential sentinel lymph node.  The deep inguinal lymph nodes drain superiorly to the external iliac lymph nodes, then to the pelvic lymph nodes and on to the paraaortic lymph nodes.

Lymph node size.

The mean size of an inguinal lymph node, as measured over the short-axis, is approximately 5.4 mm (range 2.1-13.6 mm), with two standard deviations above the mean being 8.8 mm. A size of up to 10 mm is generally regarded as a cut-off value for normal vs abnormal inguinal lymph node size.

Clinical significance.

The presence of swollen inguinal lymph nodes is an important clinical sign because lymphadenopathy (swelling) may indicate an infection, or spread as a metastasis from cancers, such as anal cancer and vulvar cancer. Inguinal lymph nodes may normally be up to 2 cm. The cut-off value for normal sized inguinal nodes is up to 10 mm.

Inguinal lymph nodes are lymph nodes in the human groin. Located in the femoral triangle of the inguinal region, they are grouped into superficial and deep lymph nodes. The superficial have three divisions: the superomedial, superolateral, and inferior superficial.

Les nœuds lymphatiques inguinaux sont des ganglions lymphatiques dans la région inguinale (aine). Situés dans le triangle fémoral, ils sont classés en deux groupes : les nœuds lymphatiques superficiels et les nœuds lymphatiques profonds.


Career.

Trouhanowa was born into a musical family; her father was an opera singer in Kiev, Vladimir Bostunov. She made international news for wearing extravagant diamonds on stage at Monte Carlo in 1906. She was known for dancing the part of Salome in various Paris productions, including in Richard Strauss's "Salome" (1907, dancing for singer Emmy Destinn), in Antoine Mariotte's opera "Salomé" (1910, dancing for singer Lucienne Bréval), and in Florent Schmitt's "La tragédie de Salomé" (1912). She also premiered Paul Dukas's "La Péri" and Maurice Ravel's "Adelaide, or the Language of Flowers" in 1912, and acted the part of "the Nun" in Max Reinhardt's "The Miracle" (1912). In 1914, she danced at Rheims for the Sixth Olympic Congress.  She had a well-publicized confrontation with Richard Strauss in 1907, when he refused to let her take a curtain call as Salomé, next to the singer of the part, "as he considered the art of dancing was an inferior one"; she left the production and described the insult in a letter to the press. She appeared in several French silent films, mostly short films, beginning with "The Ugly Girl" in 1909, and ending with "Léda" and "La forêt qui écoute" in 1916. She retired from the stage when she married in 1918, but returned in 1921.

Personal life.

Trouhanowa was sufficiently successful to own an admired house in Paris, and was known for her love of swimming topless as well as dancing.  Natalia Bostunova was married briefly as a teenager to Boris Trouhanov. In 1913 she was rumored to be romantically involved with the troubled Duke of Leinster, "decidedly the most eligible of all British bachelors", but that she refused to leave dancing for the title of Duchess. Instead she married, a Russian count living in Paris. They ran a small farm together after World War I, and moved back to Russia together in 1936. She died in 1956, aged 71 years, in Moscow. There is a box of letters to Trouhanowa, and a manuscript of her memoirs, in the Houghton Library at Harvard University.

Biography.

Raugel entered the École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses in 1972, obtaining the agrégation in mathematics in 1976. She earned her Ph.D degree from University of Rennes 1 in 1978 with a thesis entitled "Résolution numérique de problèmes elliptiques dans des domaines avec coins" (Numerical resolution of elliptic problems in domains with edges).  Raugel got a tenured position in the CNRS the same year, first as a researcher (1978–1994) then as a research director (exceptional class from 2014 on). Beginning in 1989, she worked at the Orsay Math Lab of CNRS affiliated to the University of Paris-Sud since 1989.  Raugel also held visiting professor positions in several international institutions: the University of California, Berkeley (1986–1987), Caltech (1991), the Fields Institute (1993), University of Hamburg (1994–95), and the University of Lausanne (2006). She delivered the Hale Memorial Lectures in 2013, at the first international conference on the dynamic of differential equations, Atlanta.  She co-directed the international "Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations" from 2005 on.

Research.

Raugel's first research works were devoted to numerical analysis, in particular finite element discretization of partial differential equations. With Christine Bernardi, she studied a finite element for the Stokes problem, now known as the Bernardi-Fortin-Raugel element. She was also interested in problems of bifurcation, showing for instance how to use invariance properties of the dihedral group in these questions. In the mid-1980s, she started working on the dynamics of evolution equations, in particular on global attractors, perturbation theory, and the Navier-Stokes equations in thin domains. In the last topic she was recognized as a world expert.

Geneviève Raugel (27 May 1951 – 10 May 2019) was a French mathematician working in the field of numerical analysis and dynamical systems.

Early life and education.

Parker Pearson was born in 1957. He would later inform interviewers that he first took an interest in the past when searching for fossils in his father's driveway gravel aged 4, extending that interest into the human past aged 6 when he read a library book entitled "Fun with Archaeology". Deciding to study the subject at the undergraduate level, he attended the University of Southampton, attaining a first class BA with honours in Archaeology in 1979.  Parker Pearson became interested in Marxism. In the 1984 anthology "Ideology, Power and Prehistory", edited by Daniel Miller and Christopher Tilley, Parker Pearson published a paper in which he examined the pre-state societies of Jutland from a Marxist perspective. At the start of this paper, he noted that it had repercussions for Marxism in that its findings discerned "a certain blurring between capitalism and non-capitalism." He obtained his PhD from King's College, University of Cambridge in 1985, for a thesis which he had titled "Death, society and social change: the Iron Age of southern Jutland 200 BC – 600 AD" in which he discussed what was known about the bog bodies of Denmark; it would remain unpublished.

Early career.

From 1984 through to 1990, Parker Pearson worked as an Inspector of Monuments for English Heritage, and in 1989 he received membership to the Institute for Archaeologists. In 1990, he secured an academic teaching position at the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, where he would work for the next 21 years. In 1991 he was admitted as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and in 1996 then became a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.

Stonehenge Riverside Project and UCL.

From 2003 through to 2009, Parker Pearson directed the Stonehenge Riverside Project. The project garnered three major archaeological awards: the Andante Travel Archaeology Award (2008), the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries Award (2009), and the UK Archaeological Research Project of the Year (2010). His work in leading the project also led to Parker Pearson being personally awarded the UK Archaeologist of the Year award in 2010.  Parker Pearson and his team of researchers played a key role in the discovery of a new henge site along the River Avon that links to Stonehenge. This new site was uncovered through excavation during the Stonehenge Riverside Project and was given the name "Bluestonehenge" or "Bluehenge" because traces of bluestones were found during the excavation.  From 2006 through to 2009, he served as the Vice-President of the Prehistoric Society. Interacting with various parts of the media, Parker Pearson has published articles in a variety of different sources, such as on the BBC website, has given interviews to groups such as Pagans for Archaeology and most recently discussed his career in an interview with "Papers from the Institute of Archaeology".  In 2012, Parker Pearson left the University of Sheffield and began teaching at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, as Professor of British Later Prehistory.  On 16 July 2015, he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA).

Gameplay.

In the game players take turns choosing domino like tiles and adding them to their kingdoms. Like traditional Dominoes, each tile has one or two different ends, which in this case also show different landscapes, and possibly a number of crowns on it. Choosing a tile with the most crowns gives a player last choice in the next round for choosing a tile, and vice versa - choosing the worst tile now ensures the first choice in the following round.  When a tile is placed next to other tiles of the same landscape, they form a larger property. Each kingdom can be no larger than a 5x5 grid of landscapes. The game ends when the tiles run out, and then each property is scored based on how big it is, multiplied by the number of crowns in it. The player with the most points in all their properties wins.  There is also a two player variant of the game which allows players to form a larger 7x7 grid of tiles.  "Kingdomino" is considered by reviewers to be an accessible entry point into strategy board games, with its 15–20 minute playing time and its familiar game mechanics which bear similarity to Dominoes.

Reception.

"The Guardian" called "Kingdomino" "the standout game of the past 12 months".

Spinoffs and Expansions.

In 2017, Blue Orange Games released "Queendomino", a standalone board game which uses tile laying gameplay similar to the original, but adds knights, dragons, a queen, and buildings to build. This was followed in 2018 by the release of "Kingdomino Age of Giants", an expansion for both "Kingdomino" and "Queendomino".  "Kingdomino Duel" was released in 2019 as a two player, roll and write version of the game.

Kingdomino is a 2016 board game for 2-4 players designed by Bruno Cathala and published by Blue Orange Games. In this 15-20 minute, family-oriented game, players build a five by five kingdom of oversized domino-like tiles, making sure as they place each tile that one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. In 2017 "Kingdomino" won the Spiel des Jahres award for the best board game of the year.

Église Sainte-Marie-des-Anges de Wellington

Sacraments.

The normal mass times are:  The church provides frequent opportunities for Reconciliation or Confession

History.

The first Catholic Church built on the site of St Mary of the Angels was a small chapel ("the chapel of the Nativity") built by Father O'Riley in 1843. It was blessed and dedicated by Bishop Pompallier on a visit to Wellington in the next year. This building was gradually enlarged and was completely replaced by a large wooden church in 1874. Fr O'Riley named this building "St Mary of the Angels" after the Portincula chapel which was precious to St Francis of Assisi. This church was extended until it was badly damaged by fire in 1918 and then demolished. The present building was opened and blessed on 26 March 1922 by Archbishop Redwood and a solemn pontifical Mass was celebrated by Bishop Liston of Auckland. A sermon was preached in the evening by Bishop Whyte of Dunedin.

Architecture and features.

The building is classified as a Category I ("places of'special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value'") historic place (being opened in 1922 with uninterrupted church use of the Boulcott Street site from 1843) by Heritage New Zealand.  Plans for the church were prepared by architect Frederick de Jersey Clere in 1919. Architecturally, the design is traditional Gothic of French influence. The front facade was said to have been modelled on that of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels. The structure is reinforced concrete and brick with a timber roof supported by concrete arches with steel tie rods. Its construction was innovative in that it was 'the first occasion ferro-concrete was used for a church of Gothic design'.  The church is noted for its collection of stained glass windows, especially in a continuous series completely around the clerestory interrupted by the rose window above the narthex, a window of the crucifixion above the high altar and two spacious banks of 15 windows, one finishing the north transept (fifteen decades of the Rosary) and one finishing the south transept (the life of St Joseph). These windows flood the liturgical spaces of the church with light.  The church also houses an extensive collection of statuary, including a reduced, marble, copy of Michelangelo's Moses and life-sized representations of the Pietà and the Holy Family. In the transepts, the Our lady and St Joseph side altars are of brown-mottled marble and include prominent statues of Our Lady of the Rosary (in Dominican habit with blue veil) and Saint Joseph, with votive candle racks in front of each of them. Other large statues in various parts of the church include the Sacred Heart, St Vincent de Paul, St Marcellin Champagnat and St Peter Chanel.  The Gothic marble high altar and tabernacle, in front of a blue backing, includes a sculpted, reredos with statues. The altar was detached from the reredos and moved forward in the 1960s in the implementation of the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council (the celebration of the Mass facing the congregation). This altar is fronted by a carved, Last Supper set under an incised arch along its width. The ornate columns in the sanctuary are topped by marble statues of angels.

Suzanne Aubert.

The church is particularly revered as the site of the funeral of Mother Aubert whose cause for canonisation as a saint is proceeding. The funeral was held on 4 October 1926. It was the largest funeral held for a woman in New Zealand. The church was packed for the solemn pontifical requiem mass, celebrated by Archbishop Redwood and other clergy, and vast crowds gathered along the funeral route to the church and from the church to Karori Cemetery to see the passing of the cortege of the 91 year old. One passerby asked "What religion was this woman?". A workman leaning on his shovel by the roadside answered: "That is a question she would never have asked you or me!".

Music.

St Mary of the Angels is renowned for its Gregorian Chant which began in 1905. With the opening of the present church in 1922, a choir of 70 voices sang Mass under the direction of Edward Healy. This was continued and strengthened by Maxwell Fernie for 40 years from 1958 until his death in 1999 and continues under his successor and former student, Robert Oliver. The organ of the church is a unique instrument, originally built in 1958 by George Croft and Son Limited from Auckland, but extensively redesigned in 1984 to Max Fernie's specifications.

Strengthening.

The church was closed following the July 2013 Seddon earthquake and the August 2013 Lake Grassmere earthquake sequence for structural strengthening. The church had been assessed as being between 15%–20% of the standard a new building would be built to. In New Zealand, buildings assessed as below 33% of standard are considered "earthquake prone" and strengthening is required or a compulsory demolition can be ordered. The church re-opened in April 2017 after earthquake strengthening to 100% of code, costing $9.5 million, collected in a well-supported public fund-raising campaign. The look of the interior was largely unchanged except for the shear walls built in two locations on each side of the church near the entrance, and beside the sanctuary. All the ornate columns supporting the roof, the foundations and the copper and slate roof were replaced. Certain clerestory stained glass windows were obstructed from view on the outside of the church by the new shear walls but inside were unchanged, with the images illuminated as through the other windows, by means of artificial lighting. The effect of the seismic strengthening was generally perceived to be a restoration rather than a reconstruction, although the latter was the true situation.

St Mary of the Angels is a Catholic church on the corner of Boulcott Street and O'Reily Avenue in Wellington, New Zealand. It is the parish church for Wellington Central and one of the major churches of the city. The Marist Fathers have provided clergy for St Mary of the Angels since 1874 in succession to its founding and long-serving parish priest, the Capuchin Franciscan, Father Jeremiah O'Reily. The church was used by Archbishop O'Shea as his pro-cathedral (1936–1954). It was the site of the funeral of Suzanne Aubert in 1926 and is well known for its church music tradition.

History.

In 1969, Leche Pascual was born in Aranda de Duero, Burgos, the result of the entrepreneurial and innovative vision of its founder, Don Tomás Pascual Sanz. Since its birth, the company has offered new products year after year. Pioneer since its inception, Pascual was the first company to market long-lasting milk in the Spanish market. He also introduced the brik packaged milk. Later it was the first brand to release skim milk and then semi-skim milk.  Shortly after the company begins a stage of diversification, going from being a company that only produced milk to gradually enter other sectors. Thus, with the purchase of the Bezoya, Agua de Cardó and Zambra springs, the group positioned itself strongly in the mineral water market. The launch of the Zumosol brand quickly made the company the leader in the juice market. Shortly after came the turn of butter, cream and milks with juice through the launch of Bio Frutas (today, Bifrutas), creating a new category of functional foods. Another of the company's great technological innovation milestones was the launch of the ultrapasteurized liquid egg, the risk of salmonella disappearing completely.  In 1994, Pascual began its international expansion, focused mainly on the export of pasteurized yogurts and long-lasting desserts. Pascual obtained in 199 the Grade A approval granted by the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) for the export of pasteurized yogurts to the United States, becoming the first company, outside the United States, to achieve the highest quality certification of the administration American  The entry into the 21st century begins with the launch in 2002 of Vivesoy, soy-based drinks and juices, creator of a new category of vegetable drinks in the Spanish consumer market, while in 2003 MásVital, the first food, was born Pascual prebiotic.  In 2005, Pascual once again pioneered the launch of the first aseptic PET plastic bottle for packaging of Uperisada Milk, ensuring the same quality in this new packaging as tetra brik. That same year, it launched its new product line Zumos Pascual, the first freshly squeezed orange juice on the market that does not need cold thanks to the latest technology in its production.  2006 is remembered for the death of Don Tomás Pascual Sanz, founder of the company, producing a generational change in ownership with the incorporation to the presidency of his eldest son Tomás Pascual Gómez-Cuétara, who had been occupying the position of CEO since 1996. The Tomás Pascual Sanz Institute sees the light in 2007, an entity designed to maintain the legacy of the founder in pursuit of health and quality of life, having since focused its activity on the dissemination of healthy habits, nutrition and health until 2017, year of celebrating its X anniversary. A year later, Pascual's effort to advance in the management of its human resources is endorsed with the EFR certification, Family Responsible Company.  2010 stands out for the acquisition of Mocay caffé to develop the Pascual hotel offer. During this stage, the company continues to focus on improving its management systems with the integral quality as a flag, as guaranteed in 2012 obtaining the seal of European excellence 400 + EFQM  In 2013 Pascual created the company Qualianza, as a distribution company for its products as well as the brands with which it reaches alliances. In this way, Qualianza Integral Distribution Services will allow the company's commercial activity to be extended. The launch of the DiaBalance food product range for diabetics is also taking place, as a result of the partnership with Esteve Laboratories. Likewise, Pascual obtains the Five Star Ecostar environmental certification for its sustainable fleet, as well as the “Equality in the Company” badge of the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. 2014 marks a before and after with the presentation of the company's new corporate identity, becoming known as Paschal Quality. The following year, Pascual Quality reinforces its commitment to hospitality, one of its strategic commercial channels, with the launch of “Extra Creme” Easter milk, a specialized milk for the hospitality channel.  2016 was the year in which Pascual Quality extended its conception of innovation to the whole society through its Pascual Startup initiative, which supports Spanish entrepreneurs with ideas related to the agri-food sector. On the other hand, in the month of October, Pascual Quality enters the Royal Order of Sports Merit for its support of the Olympic sport. As for the launches, examples such as the new 0% Skimmed Easter Milk, ColaCao Shake or the new Zero Forks attest to the commitment to innovation. The year 2017 is a period of change, of consolidation of leadership, with a new organizational structure and advances in the objective of digital transformation and the extension of an innovative culture throughout the organization. The challenges are not only to value the products, but also all the initiatives focused on improving the value chain and relations with all the company's stakeholders through an ethical, responsible and excellent management.

Calidad Pascual (formerly known as Grupo Leche Pascual) is a Spanish dairy company based in Madrid, Spain. The company was founded as Grupo Leche Pascual in 1969 by Tomás Pascual. It changed name as Calidad Pascual in January 2014.

Foundation.

The origins of the association may perhaps be traced to the 1854 proposal by the Swedish feminist Fredrika Bremer for a women-only organization dedicated to peace. The Swiss feminist Marie Goegg-Pouchoulin (1826–99) was active in the International Peace and Freedom League when it was founded in 1867, became a member of its central committee and edited the league's journal "Les États-Unis d'Europe". On 8 March 1868 the journal published Goegg's proposal to create an international association of women in connection with the league. This became the Association Internationale des Femmes (AIF).  Foundation of the AIF and of Eugénie Niboyet's feminist and pacifist weekly "La Paix des Deux Mondes" mark the start of identification by women with peace work. According to the historian Sandi Cooper, Goegg was responding to the growing militarism of Prussia and aimed for, "the re-education of mothers to prevent another generation of boys trained to respect the false idols of national glory through military conquest.  The AIF was the first transnational women's organization. It was concerned with women's suffrage and with secular education. The association demanded "equality in salary, in instruction, in the family, and in the law". An AIF membership card issued to Matilde Bajer of Copenhagen in December 1870 states that its goals were, "To work for the moral and intellectual advancement of woman, for the gradual amelioration of her position in society by calling for her human, civil, economic and political rights."

History.

The association's position was too extreme for many middle-class women, so the number of members remained relatively small. The association's activities were disrupted by the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, but it was revived by Goegg at the end of 1870. The organization received international coverage in pacifist and feminist publications, such as the journal "Woman", edited and published in Italy by Alaide Gualberta Beccari. However, the association failed to develop a strong organizational foundation. By 1872 the AIF was viewed with suspicion, since the word "International" was associated with the Paris Commune. Members were also divided over Goegg's leadership.  In June 1872 a communique was issued that called for a meeting at the home of Julie von May von Rued in Bern to organize a new association called Solidarité: Association pour la défense des droits de la femme (Solidarity: Association for the Defense of Women's Rights). Signatories included Caroline de Barrau of France, Josephine Butler of England, Christine Lazzati of Milan and the German feminists Rosalie Schönwasser, Marianne Menzzer and Julie Kühne. Marie Goegg-Pouchoulin was also active in this organization.

The Association internationale des femmes' (AIF; International Association of Women) was a short-lived feminist and pacifist organization based in Geneva that was active between 1868 and 1872. It demanded full equality between men and women. This was too radical for many feminists at the time.

Biography.

Hoyt William Fuller was born in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1927, his mother, Lillie Beatrice Ellafair Thomas, fell ill to a disease that caused her to become an invalid before bringing about her death. Shortly afterwards in the same year Fuller's father, Thomas Fuller, died. Fuller went to live with his aunt in Detroit, Michigan, following the death of his parents. He frequently returned to Atlanta to visit his grandmother, who encouraged him to explore African-American culture.  Fuller graduated from Wayne State University in 1950, with a bachelor's degree in literature and journalism. Fred Williams, a local amateur historian of Detroit’s black community, became Fuller’s mentor while he attended Wayne State. Aside from giving Fuller readings about Africa and African Americans, Williams also took him on his research trips to interview older members of the black community. After graduating, Fuller pursued a career in journalism. He worked at the "Detroit Tribune" (1949–51), the "Michigan Chronicle" (1951–54), and "Ebony" magazine (1954–57).  Becoming frustrated with the disconnect between "Ebony"’s content and the struggle for black freedom, he quit his position as the magazine's associate editor in 1957. In his autobiographical work "Journey to Africa" (1971), he describes his inability to find employment thereafter and his anger at the racially oppressive culture of America. As a result, Fuller moved to Europe, living for three years (1957 to 1960) in France and Spain. While in Spain, he wrote about West Africa for the "Amsterdam Haagse Post". He spent three months in Algiers and Guinea, an experience that inspired him to write "Journey to Africa".  Fuller’s experiences in Africa gave him a new sense of purpose and led him to return to the United States in 1960. No longer concerned with reforming white American racial beliefs, he focused his attention on black America. He believed that African and African-American culture would inspire black Americans to take action against racial oppression and contribute to more confident expressions of their own identity. "Robert Joseph Collier Encyclopedia" hired Fuller as associate editor in 1960. In 1961, he became editor of "The Negro Digest", which became "Black World" in 1970. "Negro Digest/Black World" was devoted to black culture and arts and became an important platform for many Black Arts Movement writers. When the publication was discontinued in 1975, Fuller moved to Atlanta and founded the journal "First World" (1977–80). He wrote articles, under the pseudonym of William Barrow, for publications including "The New Yorker", "The New Republic" and the "Christian Science Monitor".  Fuller worked at several universities, including Cornell University and Northwestern University. He visited Africa again in 1965-66 as a John Hay Whitney Opportunity Fellow. He also helped organize several Pan-African festivals and formed the Chicago Organization of Black American Culture, a writers’ group. In 1981, Fuller died of a heart attack in Atlanta.

Hoyt W. Fuller (September 10, 1923 – May 11, 1981) was an American editor, educator, critic, and author during the Black Arts Movement. Fuller created the Organization of Black American Culture (OBAC) in Chicago. In addition, he taught creative writing and African-American literature at Columbia College Chicago, Northwestern University, and Cornell University.
