Ibrahim Kodra

Ibrahim Likmetaj Kodra (22 April 1918 – 7 February 2006) was an Albanian painter.

Biography
Kodra was born in Ishëm (Ishmi), Albania, son of Murat and Xhixhe. His mother died when he was young, and he did not receive adequate treatment from his stepmother. His father was working in the Commercial Marine. Ibrahim took art classes from Odhise Paskali during 1929, focusing on sport as well. Kodra practiced discus and hammer throw, without pretending any professional career in sport, since those disciplines were not even present in Albania at that time. While taking drawing classes, one of his drawings would come into the focus of Queen Geraldine. This would change his course of life, and later it would be speculated that he was friend of Prince Tati and part of the royal circle, which was not true, though it never seriously bothered the artist. In 1938, he went to Italy to study fine arts supported by a scholarship from the Albanian Kingdom, and there he won a second scholarship from the Italian government as an emerging talent with the intervention of Jacomoni, and went to study in Milan in the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera.

In 1944 he opened his first workshop in Milan; in 1948 he opened a personal and group exposition in the "Art Club" in Rome, where he met and become friend of Pablo Picasso, which often will be contested on artistic reflections. In 1950 he painted frescos in the most important museums and buildings of Milan. Kodra then opened an exposition with Picasso, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Georges Rouault, Dufy and others in the Mostra del Disegno in Chiavari (Italy).

He had many other personal expos all around the world, including:

 * Collective exposition in "Paradise" with Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Matta, Ernst, Carlo Levi, Braque, etc.
 * Collective exposition in "Mostra del disegno e dell'incisione contemporanea" in 1943 in Milan, with Emilio Vedova, Renato Guttuso, Giacomo Manzù, Cassinari, Morlotti, etc.
 * Collective exposition in "Mostra del disegno italiano contemporaneo" in Chiavari 1954, with Pablo Picasso, Modigliani, Rouault and Dufy
 * Collective exposition in Milan (Galleria Montenapoleone, 1954), with Joan Miró, Birolli, Delaunay, Ernst, Kokoschka, Léger and Severini
 * Collective expo in the Stone Gallery in Newcastle with Corneille, Gear, Gleghorn, Michaux, Millares, etc.
 * Numerous collectives in Milan, the Stone Gallery in Newcastle, "Senator" in Stuttgart, and also in the "New Art Center" in Zürich.
 * Personal expo in Modern Art Gallery in Pristina.
 * Personal expo in Princess Hall in New York and personal expo the "2D Gallery" in Sassari.

His works are in the Museum of Vatican, in the Chamber of Deputies (House of Representatives) of the Italian Parliament in Rome, in exclusive private collections all around the world. In 1996 he won the "Honor of the Nation" award from Albania (Nderi i Kombit), and in 1997, shortly after painting Albania Fantastica he was appointed honorary consul and he was given a diplomatic passport to the Republic of Albania.

He died in Milan in 2006. Kodra was buried in front of Ishëm Castle according to his will to be buried there. His house in Milan is converted in a museum, with the initiative of Fatos Fasliu, president of "Ibrahim Kodra Foundation" in Milan. In February 2010, a museum dedicated to his work was opened in Melide, Lugano, with the support of Albanian entrepreneur Behgjet Pacolli and the "Ibrahim Kodra" Foundation (Fondazione per i Ragazzi del mondo di Ibrahim Kodra), a Swiss cultural organization supporting emerging art talents and promoting Kodra's work.

Figure skating at the 1960 Winter Olympics

Figure skating at the 1960 Winter Olympics took place at the Blyth Arena in Squaw Valley, California, United States. Three figure skating events were contested: men's singles, ladies' singles and pair skating.

On February 15, 1961, the entire United States figure skating team and several family members, coaches, and officials were killed when Sabena Flight 548 crashed in Brussels, Belgium, en route to the World Championships in Prague. The accident caused the cancellation of the 1961 World Championships and necessitated the building of a new American skating program.

Westville, KwaZulu-Natal

Westville is an area in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and is just west and 10 km inland from the Durban CBD. It was a formerly independent municipality however it became part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality in 2002.

The climate is subtropical; Westville experiences mild, dry winters, and hot, humid summers with frequent late afternoon downpours.

History
The settlement began in 1847 as the farm "Westville" (named in honour of Martin West, the first British lieutenant-governor of what was then the province of Natal). In March 1848 a group of Germans, brought out by Jonas Bergtheil, arrived in Port Natal to settle the area and farm cotton. They established several farms both in Westville and neighbouring New Germany (the two settlements are separated by the Palmiet Valley), and were a tight-knit community. The Westville settlers would travel through Palmiet Valley on Sundays to attend the Lutheran Church in New Germany. When their cotton crops failed the first year, settlers were granted permission to farm other crops like potatoes, mielies (corn), barley and oats. The city of Durban provided a ready market for their produce.

The 'German House' owned by the Lange family on what is today Jan Hofmeyr Road became an important stopover for those travelling the Old Main Road between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. The Outspan Tree (derived from the Afrikaans uitspan: out-span or to rest) alongside the hostelry is where travelers could rest is now a national monument. The Outspan Tree that stands there currently is a younger offspring of the original that was cut down in the early 1900's. The Bergtheil Museum, located on what is today 16 Queen's Avenue, was built in the 1840s and is the oldest remaining house in Westville. It offers visitors an idea of early settler dwellings and farming practices.

The 1850s saw the addition of Scottish and English settlers to Westville. In the 1870s, Indian market gardeners moved into the area too. In time, the German settlers integrated with other settlers and began to speak English.

Westville was proclaimed a borough in 1956. It was incorporated into the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, along with Durban and various surrounding towns, suburbs and villages as part of the post-apartheid re-organisation of South Africa's municipalities.

Geography
Westville is situated approximately between 107m (351ft) and 300m (984ft) above sea level in the hills above Durban and roughly extends between the Palmiet River to the north and the uMbilo River to the south. Its surrounding suburbs include Queensburgh to the south, Clermont to the north-west, Pinetown to the west, Reservoir Hills to the north (part of Durban) and Sherwood to the east (part of Durban). It is also centrally located to a few surrounding townships, namely Cato Manor, Clermont and Chesterville.

Suburban areas
The 2011 census divided the main place of Westville into seven “sub places” including:

The northern suburbs of Atholl Heights, Chiltern Hills, Dawncrest, Grayleigh are collectively known as "Westville North".
 * Atholl Heights
 * Berea West (the suffix "West" was added to the suburb to differentiate from the suburb of Berea in Durban approximately 6 km to the west)
 * Chiltern Hills
 * Dawncliffe
 * Dawncrest
 * Grayleigh
 * Westville (Proper)

Education
Schools situated in Westville include Star College Durban Westville Boys' High School, Westville Girls' High School, Atholl Heights Primary School, Berea West Junior Primary School, Berea West Senior Primary School, Pitlochry Primary School, Westville Senior Primary and the Deutsche Schule Durban. Higher education centres include a 2-square-kilometre campus of University of KwaZulu-Natal (formerly the University of Durban-Westville) and Varsity College (Westville campus).

Specialist schools such as The International Hotel School, based at the Westville Hotel, and The Fusion Cooking School can also be found in Westville.

Religions
There are several churches in Westville, including the Westville Methodist Church on 38 Jan Hofmeyr Road, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church on 14 Westville Road, the Westville Baptist Church on 2 Church Place, St Elizabeth's Anglican Church on 45 Salisbury Avenue, and OneCity Church, which meets at the Westville Country Club. Mosques in Westville include Habibia Soofie Masjid, a Soofie mosque, on 119 Jan Hofmeyr Road, and the Westville Jaame Musjid on 46 Meerut Road.

Offices
Westville boasts multiple business parks such as West Way Office Park and Essex Gardens in the south of Westville. Business parks in Westville are well-spread with a number of them located in the CBD and in the east of the town.

These business parks are home to small businesses and huge corporations alike, most notably the headquarters for companies such as RCL Foods, Boxer Superstores, The Unlimited, Vector Logistics and Eskom (regional offices).

Retail
Westville is chiefly residential, with a few shopping centres around the suburb including The Pavillion Mall, which is the second largest shopping centre in the Greater Durban metropolitan area, Westwood Mall, Westville Mall and Westville Junction.

Attractions
Tourist attractions include Palmiet Nature Reserve, which has 15 kilometres of guided and self-guided trails. Further afield tourists can experience the evergreen Western Inland Route and Natal's regional attractions, including the Drakensberg (Barrier of Spears) Battlefields Tours, game reserves and Zululand. A large Anglo-German Historical Route exists with numerous churches, museums and grave sites depicting the early settlement struggles of the early colonial days.

Healthcare
Westville is served by the Life Westville Hospital, a private hospital owned by Life Healthcare Group, located south of the N3 and adjacent to The Pavillion Shopping Centre.

Prison
Westville Prison, which sits on the edge of Westville, is one of the largest prisons in the country and the only prison located in the Greater Durban area.

Roads
Westville is intersected by four freeway systems, namely; to the east, the N2 (Outer Ring Road) runs northerly from Port Shepstone to KwaDukuza and King Shaka International Airport; to the south, the N3 (Western Freeway) runs northwesterly from Durban to Pietermaritzburg; to the centre, the M13 (King Cetshwayo Highway) runs northwesterly from Durban to Hillcrest via Pinetown; and to the north, the M19 runs easterly from Durban to Pinetown.

The interchange between the N2 and N3, E.B. Cloete Interchange, also colloquially known as “Spaghetti Junction” is a notable landmark in Westville.

The M32 is the main thoroughfare through the suburbs of Westville, formed by Harry Gwala Road, St James Avenue, Attercliffe Road, Jan Hofmeyr Road and Rodger Sishi Road. It connects Westville to Chesterville (Durban) in the south and New Germany (Pinetown) in the north-west.

Bogle–Chandler case

The Bogle–Chandler case refers to the mysterious deaths of Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler on the banks of the Lane Cove River in Sydney, Australia on 1 January 1963. The case became famous because of the circumstances in which the bodies were found and because the cause of death could not be established.

In 2006 a filmmaker discovered evidence to suggest the cause of death was hydrogen sulphide gas. In the early hours of 1 January an eruption of gas from the polluted river bed may have occurred, causing the noxious fumes to pool in deadly quantities in the grove.

Background
Gilbert Stanley Bogle, born in 1924, was a physicist who worked at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on the campus of the University of Sydney. Married with three children, he was considered to be a brilliant scientist and had been a Rhodes Scholar. The police discovered that Bogle had casual relationships with other women, some of which involved assignations at local parks. The coroner stood down a key female witness before she could give evidence, to protect her family and that of Bogle.

Margaret Olive Chandler (née Morphett), born in 1934, was the older sister of the screenwriter and author Tony Morphett. She was married to Geoffrey Chandler, who worked in the same CSIRO building as Dr. Bogle. They had two young children. Witnesses suggested that she may have been bored with her life and upset at her husband's philandering but, in reality, "free love" (free from guilty feelings) was normal practice in the Sydney Push connected to the university.

Bogle, the Chandlers, and several others attended a barbecue just prior to Christmas 1962. On the way home, Chandler told her husband that she was quite taken with Bogle. He told the police that he and his wife had "an understanding". He told her: "If you want to take Gib as a lover, if it would make you happy, you do it."

Chatswood party
Two of the other people at the barbecue were hosts Ken and Ruth Nash. Ken Nash also worked at the CSIRO. He invited the Chandlers to his New Year's Eve dinner party, to be held at his home in Waratah Street, Chatswood.

The Chandlers arrived at about 10 p.m. for the party, with Geoffrey Chandler casually dressed but other guests dressed formally. At about 11.30 p.m., he departed alone on the pretence of buying cigarettes and drove to a Sydney Push New Year's party held at the Balmain home of Ken Buckley, a senior lecturer in economic history at the University of Sydney. Arriving there at about midnight, he met Pamela Logan, with whom he was having an affair. They drove in tandem to her lodgings at Darlington.

He returned to the Chatswood party at 2.30 a.m. but decided to depart alone with his wife's understood preference that she be driven home to Croydon by Bogle. The Chandlers' two children were in the care of their maternal grandparents at Granville and were picked up in morning by Chandler and Logan.

Bogle and Chandler left the party soon after 4 a.m. and drove to the nearby Lane Cove River, which was then known as a lovers' lane. What happened next is still unclear but, several hours later, their bodies were found. At the subsequent inquest, medical evidence was given that semen was present on the jacket but Chandler had not had sexual intercourse.

Discovery of the bodies
Bogle's body was discovered near Fullers Bridge by two youths searching for golf balls. They saw his body face-down and presumed him to be drunk. When they returned an hour later to find that he had not moved and that his face had turned blue, they went to fetch help.

When police arrived at the scene they discovered that Bogle's body was half-undressed but with his shoes and socks still on. Somebody had placed his trousers over the back of his legs in such a way that he appeared to be dressed, but was not. A piece of carpet was also laid on top of his back underneath his jacket, which was laid perfectly on his back.

Shortly after this, Chandler's body was discovered by a constable about 15 metres away lying on cardboard boxes. She was also in a half state of undress, with her top removed, and her body had been entirely covered with broken-up cardboard beer boxes. It was initially believed that she had covered Bogle's body first and then her own, but closer examination suggested that someone had covered her body as well.

Investigation
It was obvious that both had died in a panicked state from some sort of poisoning. At the scene were signs of vomit and excreta from both victims along with items of clothing were found on the exposed bed of the river. Because New Year's Day was a public holiday, forensic examination of the bodies was delayed for 36 hours. When forensic examination did take place, no traces of any poison could be found.

The case attracted instant media publicity. It involved a high-society party, alleged wife-swapping, an unidentified third person at the death scene, and an unidentified poison. There was also speculation that Bogle was involved in research important in the Cold War.

The inquest in May 1963 did not help to resolve the mystery. The coroner, Mr. J. J. Loomes, concluded that Bogle and Chandler had died because of "...acute circulatory failure. But as to the circumstances under which such circulatory failure was brought about, the evidence does not permit me to say." In other words, he stated that Bogle and Chandler died either because their hearts stopped beating, or they stopped breathing.

It was the investigating detectives' belief that the victims' bodies were covered not by a murderer, but by a 'third person' who covered them for modesty after discovering the bodies. An initial suspect was a voyeur who contacted police twice, using different names. After interrogation, he was quickly dismissed. The prime suspect was a greyhound trainer who slipped his dogs daily on a path that passed the site where the bodies were found. He came forward only after his car was identified and, when interviewed by police, claimed to have used a different path that day and denied seeing the bodies. His obituary in 1977, however, claimed he had been the first to find the bodies. The theory regarding a motive of modesty for covering the bodies was supported by claims that the man was known to be a prude.

Poisoning theories
The police investigated around 1,000 theories of the cause of death including cone shell poison, funnel-web spiders, aphrodisiacs, and the drug LSD. The state government analyst found no trace of LSD. In 1996, relic organ tissue samples were sent to America and new forensic techniques were applied to them. A first pass suggested the presence of LSD. A more sensitive scan on the same equipment came up negative—Bogle and Chandler had not used LSD. There have been no documented human deaths from an LSD overdose.

Hydrogen sulphide hypothesis
Peter Butt's documentary Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?, which was shown on the ABC in September 2006, suggests that the two deaths were caused by accidental hydrogen sulphide poisoning. A woman who was a child at the time came forward at the time of the film's screening. She claimed she had found Chandler's handbag 4 km away in bushland between three houses. One of those houses was discovered to belong to a relative of the greyhound trainer and was near to his own home. A veteran greyhound racing steward also came forward and said that he received a call from the suspect soon after the deaths, during which he admitted that he had come across the bodies.

In August 2016, author Butt also published details of an alleged 1965 conversation between a Canberra psychologist and a woman who had claimed to be an eyewitness of the deaths. The parties were not identified but their claimed evidence appeared generally consistent with original "crime scene" data and a conclusion that the deaths were caused by hydrogen sulphide gas. In 2022, a 5-part podcast series re-covering the case was also released by Butt.

Supporting evidence for this theory includes:
 * In the 1940s and 50s, the local council received scores of letters from residents complaining of the smell of "rotten eggs" coming from the river, causing nausea and breathing difficulties. There was also a series of massive fish kills. With the residents facing permanent evacuation, the Maritime Services Board conducted a year-long study of the river. It found that the bottom muds were saturated to a depth of 50 cm with hydrogen sulphide and that very large and rapid releases of hydrogen sulphide gas could occur from a section of the river impounded by the weir. The source was identified as a flour mill that had pumped millions of litres of waste into the river since the 1890s. The worst affected location was within a quarter-mile of the weir, which had acted to stem the flushing of the river and exacerbate the issue, exactly where Bogle and Chandler died.
 * On New Year's Day, police divers reported a great disturbance of black river-bed sediment. Although their search of the river was then delayed for 11 days, visibility remained poor.
 * The very cool, still weather conditions at time of death would have allowed high concentrations of gas to accumulate.
 * The location where the couple had sought privacy was at water-level in a slight depression, surrounded by a bank and mangroves, typical of where the heavier-than-air hydrogen sulphide would accumulate in calm conditions.
 * Slight skin abrasions, shoe and knee prints suggest both victims were disorientated and had tried to leave the depression before collapsing.
 * Both victims had been unable to correct their clothing, suggesting that the poison struck them down without warning, at the same time and with great speed.
 * A pathology report, suppressed by the coroner at the time, revealed semen on Bogle's body and coat. This suggests sex was taking place and that both victims could not have been suffering earlier effects of poisoning before they were suddenly struck down.
 * Most importantly, a purple discoloration was seen in the victims' blood which is characteristic of hydrogen sulphide poisoning (This phenomenon is not related to other colour changes in the blood such as cyanosis, or methaemoglobin/methemoglobinemia).
 * The toxicologist who tested the victims' tissue samples claimed that had he known about the semen, it would have eliminated the majority of poisons he had tested for. This knowledge he claimed, along with the hint provided by the purple colouration of the blood, might have led him to suspect that the poison was hydrogen sulphide.
 * A British forensic scientist contacted by the police suggested, after reading the case report, that the victims had been gassed.

With hydrogen sulphide at a level of 1 ppm, a victim will barely notice a bad smell; at 30+ ppm smells like rotten eggs but at 50-100 ppm it smells cloyingly sweet. At a level above 100 ppm, paralyses the olfactory nerve (sense of smell) almost instantly and, as the gas is effectively invisible, it would not be noticed despite it leading to vomiting and breathlessness. At 200 ppm respiratory failure occurs within seconds. At 1000 ppm a single breath causes instant cardiac arrest.

Although no levels were measured at the river, there is anecdotal evidence of levels of up to 100 ppm being common in the area on still days. As is heavier than air, the gas tends to pool in hollows on calm days and needs a breeze in order to dissipate. If it is assumed that there was little or no gas around when Bogle and Chandler arrived and there was an eruption of gas upstream, the gas would seek the low points along the bank and at 100–150 ppm would be undetectable. The couple could remain for some time before feeling breathless and nauseous but would smell and see nothing to explain this. They would have become confused as a result of binding with haemoglobin in the blood and reducing its oxygen-carrying capacity, making an escape difficult.

A Marilyn is a hill in the British Isles that has at least 150 m (492 feet) of relative height (you cannot get to the top from any other Marilyn without at least 150 m (492 feet) of uphill travel). The name, coined by writer Alan Dawson, is a pun ("Munro" — "Marilyn Monroe" — "Marilyn"). This category covers the Marilyns of Northern Ireland.

Figure skating at the 1964 Winter Olympics

Figure skating at the 1964 Winter Olympics took place at the Olympiahalle in Innsbruck, Austria. There were three events contested: men's singles, ladies' singles, and pair skating.

On February 15, 1961, the entire United States figure skating team and several family members, coaches, and officials were killed when Sabena Flight 548 crashed in Brussels, Belgium, en route to the World Championships in Prague. The accident caused the cancellation of the 1961 World Championships and necessitated the building of a new American skating program. Although American figure skaters were still too young in 1964 (most were aged 15 or lower), they still managed to win two medals.

Pairs
At the 1964 Olympics, Kilius/Bäumler, Wilkes/Revell, and Joseph/Joseph placed second, third, and fourth respectively. In 1966, Kilius/Bäumler's results were invalidated after it was discovered that they had signed professional contracts before the Olympics. At the time, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the Olympic Games. The silver medals were transferred to Wilkes/Revell and the bronze medals to Joseph/Joseph. The Germans were re-awarded the silvers in 1987, after appealing that other pairs had signed similar contracts but had not been exposed and disqualified. The placements of Wilkes/Revell and Joseph/Joseph remained unclear for many years. In December 2013, the IOC clarified that the Canadian pair had not been stripped of their silver after the Germans regained their medals. In November 2014, the IOC stated that both the German and Canadian pairs are the silver medalists and the Americans are the bronze medalists.

Denis Laurence Dutton (9 February 1944 – 28 December 2010) was an American philosopher of art, web entrepreneur, and media activist. He was a professor of philosophy at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. He was also a co-founder and co-editor of the websites Arts & Letters Daily, ClimateDebateDaily.com, and cybereditions.com.

Life and career
Denis Dutton was born in Los Angeles, California, United States, on 9 February 1944, as the second of four children of William and Thelma Dutton, who were booksellers and founded what became Dutton's Books, a chain of independent bookstores. He grew up in North Hollywood, graduated from North Hollywood High School, and was educated at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he earned his bachelor's degree in philosophy in 1966 and his PhD in philosophy in 1975. Between taking these degrees, he went to India with the Peace Corps and learned to play sitar. Dutton taught at several American universities, including the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Michigan–Dearborn, before emigrating to New Zealand.

Dutton started teaching at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, in 1984. From 2008 to 2010, he was the Head of the Philosophy school in an unofficial capacity and acted briefly as Head of Humanities. At its December 2010 graduation ceremony, the University of Canterbury awarded Dutton a research medal for his work.

He was a member of the editorial board for The Rutherford Journal.

On 28 December 2010, Dutton died from cancer.

Arts & Letters Daily
Dutton was best known for the web aggregation site Arts & Letters Daily, which he founded in 1998 and which secured him a place among "the most influential media personalities in the world". The site, described as "the first and foremost aggregator of well-written and well-argued book reviews, essays, and other articles in the realm of ideas", features links to articles across the web about literature, art, science, and politics, for which Dutton wrote pithy teasers. In recognition of Arts & Letters Daily, Steven Pinker called Dutton a visionary for recognizing that a website "could be a forum for cutting-edge ideas, not just a way to sell things or entertain the bored".

Cybereditions
Dutton served as executive director of Cybereditions, a print on demand publishing company he founded in 2000 which specializes in new and out-of-print copyright works, mostly of a scholarly nature. The editorial board of the company has included other academics such as Frederick Crews, Anthony Grafton and Marjorie Perloff.

Aesthetics
Dutton wrote on authenticity in art and distinguished between nominal authenticity, in which a work of art is correctly attributed to its author rather than being a forgery, and expressive authenticity, where a work is a true expression of an individual's or a society's values and beliefs.

In his book The Art Instinct (2010) Dutton opposes the view that art appreciation is culturally learned, claiming instead that art appreciation stems from evolutionary adaptions made during the Pleistocene. He set out abbreviated versions of his theory in a 2009 Google Talk lecture and a 2010 TED talk.

Dutton also argued that progress in the arts and sciences had declined, especially since around 1800.

Criticism of academic prose
As editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature, Dutton ran the Bad Writing Contest, which aimed to "expose 'pretentious, swaggering gibberish' passed off as scholarship at leading universities". In 1995, the contest was won by Homi K. Bhabha and Fredric Jameson. In 1998, the contest awarded first place to philosopher and University of California-Berkeley Professor Judith Butler, for a sentence which appeared in the journal diacritics. Butler defended their work against the charges of academic pedantry and obscurantism in the pages of The New York Times. Dutton then ended the contest.

The Bad Writing Contest emerged in an intellectual climate dominated by fallout from the Sokal affair, in which the alleged opaqueness and obscurity of postmodern writing came in for criticism: Edward Said, for instance, deplored "diminishment and incoherence" in the writings of some of his colleagues and Martha Nussbaum condemned academic writing that was "ponderous and obscure".

Politics and activism
Dutton supported "conservative ideas" and was a member of the Libertarian Party for some years.

Dutton was one of the founding members and first chair of the NZ Skeptics. In 2009, he stated that he believed that "climate change is still an open question".

He was also a passionate supporter of public radio. In the early 1990s he founded the lobby group The New Zealand Friends of Public Broadcasting in response to proposals to devolve New Zealand's two non-commercial public radio stations.

In 1995 he was appointed to the board of directors of Radio New Zealand, where he served for seven years. After concluding his term as a director, Dr Dutton and Dr John Isles issued a report criticising Radio New Zealand for loss of neutrality in news and current affairs, failure to adhere to charter and opposed to contestable funding of broadcasting.

Talk:Physiologus

Untitled
This article appears neutral already, although open to misreading. If the first paragraph were reordered, the neutrality might be more obvious. Possibly:

It consisted of descriptions animals, birds, fantastic creatures; sometimes stones and plants, often with moral content. Each animal was described, and an anecdote followed, together with the moral and symbolic qualities of the animal, which were to be imitated or avoided. Some descriptions were meant as Christian allegories, connecting the subject being described with, for example, enticements of the Devil or Christ-like qualities.

Little Crow
The hyperlink for Little Crow leads to an Australian crow, which cannot possibly be what the ancient Greco-Egyptian text is about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.162.250.229 (talk) 17:57, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Date of Latin "translation"
There is a problem here. At one point in the article, as it now stands, we are told that the translation into Latin occurred around 700 AD; later in the article we are given a date three centuries earlier.

The first date (furthermore) cites T. H. White incorrectly: in the edition I have (Capricorn, 1960, p. 232) what White actually says is that "the earliest Latin translation of him [the Physiologus]which we have is of the eighth century."

Is there any evidence of a ca-400 Latin version? If not, it might be better to eliminate the specific reference to 400, and to clean up the White reference by replacing it with something like: "By the eighth century, if not sooner, the Physiologus had been rendered into Latin".

Basil links to the article about the herb?
Under the attributions section, is Basil supposed to redirect to the article about the herb? It's surrounded by names of people so I suspect not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.212.41 (talk) 05:56, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Figure skating at the 1968 Winter Olympics

Figure skating at the 1968 Winter Olympics was held at Le Stade Olympique de Glace in Grenoble, France. Ice dance, then known as "rhythmic skating," was a demonstration event and was won by the team of Diane Towler and Bernard Ford of Great Britain. It became a medal event eight years later in 1976 Innsbruck.

American figure skater Peggy Fleming built up a huge lead after the compulsory figures and won the first-place votes of all nine judges. Her victory marked the first gold medal won by an American after the death of an entire US figure skating team in an air crash in 1961, and heralded an American figure skating renaissance.

Paul de Beauvilliers, 2nd duc de Saint-Aignan

Paul de Beauvilliers, count and later (1679)  2nd duc de Saint-Aignan (1648–1714), often referred to as the duc de Beauvilliers, was a French government official under King Louis XIV.

Biography
Born in Saint-Aignan (then in the Berry province, now in the Loir-et-Cher département), he was the son of François de Beauvilliers, 1st duc de Saint-Aignan and brother of Anne Marie de Bethune. His half-brother was Paul-Hippolyte de Beauvilliers, 3rd duc de Saint-Aignan. As First Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber (Premier gentilhomme de la Chambre du roi) in 1666 (a high privilege whose recipient was in charge of ordering the servants and the doorkeepers attending the king in his public bedroom), he had daily access to Louis XIV with whom he could discuss personal and private matters. He married Henriette-Louise Colbert, the second daughter of Colbert in 1671, thereby becoming the brother-in-law of Charles Honoré d'Albert, duc de Luynes. Both were friends of Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon and important characters of the Saint-Simon Mémoirs.

Chairman of the Royal Council of Finances (conseil royal des Finances) in 1685, he became the governor of the Duke of Burgundy (1689), the duke of Anjou (future King Philip V of Spain) (1690), and the duke of Berry (1693), thus being in charge of the education of the three grandsons of Louis XIV.

In 1691 he entered the Council of Ministers (Conseil d'en haut), chaired by the king himself where matters of state policy were decided including religion, diplomacy, and war. He was the voice of the dévot party that advocated finding a peaceful end to France's and Louis XIV's interminable wars.

In 1697, he ordered the intendants (heads of the royal administration in the provinces) to conduct a general survey whose conclusions, known as the Mémoires, offer an interesting portrayal of France in the very end of the 17th century.

Close to the duke of Burgundy, his pupil and heir to the throne, he was one of the reformists who advocated a less centralized and absolute monarchy, and whose ideas of polysynody were briefly applied after 1715, although he did not live long enough to see it.

The duc de Beauvilliers died in Vaucresson, near Versailles, in 1714, one year before Louis XIV.

He was Knight in the Order of the Holy Spirit and the Order of the Golden Fleece.

Veliki Preslav

The modern Veliki Preslav or Great Preslav (Велики Преслав, ), former Preslav (Преслав; until 1993), is a city and the seat of government of the Veliki Preslav Municipality (Great Preslav Municipality, new Bulgarian: obshtina), which in turn is part of Shumen Province, Bulgaria. Veliki Preslav is situated at an altitude of 132 m (92 m above sea level).

A former village, it assumed the name of the medieval capital in 1878 and became a town in 1883. As of December 2009, it had a population of 8,951.

Preslav was the capital of the First Bulgarian Empire from 893 to 972 and was one of the most important cities in medieval Southeastern Europe. The ruins of the city are situated in modern northeastern Bulgaria, some 20 kilometres southwest of the regional capital of Shumen, and are currently a national archaeological reserve.

History

The name of Preslav is of Slavic origin; apparently it was initially founded and functioned as a Slavic settlement until its fortification at the beginning of the ninth century. The proximity to the then Bulgarian capital of Pliska led to the fast development and expansion of Preslav during the reign of the Khans Krum and Omurtag. By the time of the coronation of Khan Boris I in 852, Preslav had turned into an important strategic military centre and was the seat of the Ichirgu-boil. A number of churches were built in the city after the conversion of the Bulgarians to Christianity in 864.

The pagan revolt of the Pliska nobility led by Prince Vladimir in 892 was decisive for the future destiny of the city. In 893 Vladimir was dethroned and during the Council of Preslav Boris I appointed Simeon the Great as his successor and decided to move the capital of the state from the still somewhat pagan Pliska to Preslav. In the following 80 years the city developed rapidly, turning into a centre not only of Bulgarian politics and diplomacy, but also of Slavic culture, literature and fine arts. A chronicler mentioned that it took Simeon 28 years to establish and build up his new capital. Archeological excavations have, however, proved that the city continued to develop also during the 930s and 940s and reached the peak in its growth and magnificence in the middle of the rule of Emperor Peter I of Bulgaria.

In view of the impressive town planning, the vital economy and the grandeur of buildings like the Round Church and the Royal Palace, Preslav was a true rival of the largest and most important city centres in the western hemisphere. Culturally, it was the centre of the Preslav Literary School which was founded in Pliska in 886 and was moved to Preslav along with the rest of the court in 893. The greatest Bulgarian writers from the Old Bulgarian period worked in Preslav, among them John Exarch, Constantine of Preslav, Chernorizets Hrabar. It was probably around the Preslav Literary School that the Cyrillic script developed in the tenth century. The city also had large ceramic workshops which produced art ceramics, glazed tiles, as well as ceramic icons and iconostases.

The city's fortune underwent a dramatic downturn at the end of the 960s, when it was occupied by Kievan Prince Sviatoslav. The ensuing war between Rus' and Byzantines left the city burnt and ravaged by the army of Byzantine Emperor John I Tzimisces. The conquerors took away the treasury, the Bulgarian Tsar's regalia and a large part of the library of Simeon. Although the city did not lose its importance in the next three hundred years, the neighbouring outskirts and the big monasteries became desolate, the economy lost its vitality and significance. It is mentioned by Anna Komnene in the Alexiad under the hellenised name Megale Peristhlaba.

Preslav regained some of its importance in Bulgarian politics during the first years of the joint rule of the founders of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Peter IV of Bulgaria and Ivan Asen I. Apparently, Ivan Asen ruled from the centre of the uprising, Tarnovgrad, whereas his brother and co-ruler Theodore Peter resided in Preslav as a symbol of the renewed statehood of Bulgaria. The strategic advantages of Tarnovgrad were, however, decisive in the long run and the significance of Preslav waned in the course of the 13th century. The Tatar raids during the 1270s drove away the last citizens of Preslav, along with the protothroned bishop of the city. Some of the surviving refugees built up a village of the same name only two kilometres north from the fortress where the contemporary town of Veliki Preslav is now situated.

Preslav Crag on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Preslav.
