Saint-Merd-la-Breuille (; ) is a commune in the Creuse department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, France.

Geography

General information

In the extreme south-east of the Creuse department, the municipality of Saint-Merd-la-Breuille extends over 40.19 km2. Bordering the departments of Corrèze and Puy-de-Dôme, its territory is crossed by the Méouzette and very briefly by the Ramade. It is bordered to the south by the Feyt stream for nearly five kilometres.

The minimum altitude of 717 metres is located at the extreme south-east, near the place called Les Allys, where the Méouzette leaves the commune and enters on the commune of Laroche-près-Feyt. The maximum altitude of 846 metres is located at the extreme southwest, on the edge of the commune of Eygurande, near the place called Travers.

Crossed by the departmental road 18, the village of Saint-Merd-la-Breuille is located, in orthodromic distances, 23 kilometres north-northeast of Ussel and 31 kilometres southeast of Aubusson.

The municipal territory is also served by the departmental roads 18A4 and 79.

Bordering municipalities

Saint-Merd-la-Breuille borders seven other municipalities, three of which are in the department of Corrèze and two in the department of Puy-de-Dôme.

In the southwest, its territory is less than 500 metres far from the Corrèze municipality of Lamazière-Haute.

Toponymy
Saint Merd is the deformation of Saint Medard de Noyon (Médardus).

History
There has been a human occupation in the commune of Saint-Merd-la-Breuille since antiquity. At Manoux, a mound with a dolmen seems to indicate a Neolithic occupation.

In the Middle Ages, the Château de Hautefeuille was located on the current territory of the municipality. It is possible to find traces of its existence in 16th century documents. Indeed, this land was sold by Jean de Rochefort to Antoine de la Fayette in 1539. It then remained in the hands of the de La Fayette family, according to what is said by Guillaume-Michel Chabrol, in Volume IV of his book on the General and Local Customs of the Province of Auvergne (1784):

"The land of Hautefeuille, parish of Flayat, belonged to Louis de la Fayette. Jean Motier de la Fayette, killed in the day of Cognac in 1568, was lord of it, as well as of Nades. Claude de la Fayette, his son, lord of the same lands, married Marie d'Allègre, daughter of Gaspard, lord of Viverols and Beauvoir, on 22 November 1579. She passed to François de la Fayette, who married Magdeleine Pioche de la Vergne, famous in the Republic of Letters, in 1655. This branch of the Maison de la Fayette has been extinguished in the Maison de la Trimouille."

The castle was destroyed by Protestants during the Wars of Religion, in retaliation for the battle of Cognac in 1568, where its lord was killed. It was erected on the hill north of the villages of Gourseix and Vaudeix (at the point quoted at 766 metres above sea level on the IGN map) but on site, there is no record of its existence. However, in the surrounding villages, stones from its ruins have been reused for the construction of houses. A stone with a coat of arms was found on the wall of a house. This coat of arms has been taken over as the municipality's coat of arms.

Politics and administration

Guy Faugeron has been mayor of Saint-Merd-la-Breuille since March 2011.

Demographics

In 2015, the municipality had 187 inhabitants, down 8.33% compared to 2010 (Creuse : -2.17%, France excluding Mayotte : +2.44%).

Freissinières (; ) is a commune in the Hautes-Alpes department in southeastern France.

Geography
Freissinières lies in a valley which is the watershed of the Biaysse, which flows into the Durance in front of La Roche-de-Rame.

From east to west, it consists of an alluvial plain of about 80 hectares, bordered on the south by a forest of conifers. On the north, the terrain is arid and rocky. However, vineyards were planted there up to 1200 m.

Near the hamlet of Meyries, the valley widens to the north, with a deciduous forest. The part of the valley called la Poua, exposed to the south, was well cultivated up to the pastures near the col d'Anon.

After the hamlet of Ribes, chief settlement of the commune, the valley narrows along the course of the Biaysse. Here, the soil is poor; avalanches and mudslides have covered the soil with rocks and gravel. The two little hamlets of Viollins and Mensals are situated in rare protected spots.

Then, the Biaysse is formed by the junction of two rivers : from north, the Chichin torrent cascading down from the hamlet of Dormillouse at 1727 m, and from south the river les Oules coming from the lakes of Fangeas, Faravel and Palluel. This sector is dominated by the peaks of Félix Neff (3243 m), Grand Pinier (3117 m), and Petit Pinier (3100 m), which are part of the Parc national des Écrins. South of the hamlet of Viollins, the beautiful mountain of Val-Haute is dominated by the Tête de Vautisse (3156 m).

In 2010 in the Parc National des Ecrins, Freissinières, a high altitude rock shelter with prehistoric rock paintings of animals was discovered.

Heavy Deavy Skull Lover is the fourth album by American psychedelic rock band the Warlocks. It was released on October 7, 2007 by record label Tee Pee.

Background

With this album, the Warlocks signed to Tee Pee Records, a small psychedelia-themed record label also home to band cohorts, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, who reportedly requested that the Warlocks be signed.

Recording

The album was recorded as a stripped down four-piece, in departure from the octet, dual drummer formation of previous releases. The album is produced by Rod Cervera, who had previously worked on the Warlocks' debut album, Rise and Fall.

Musical style

In contrast to the more refined sounding and major label released Surgery, the album features a rougher and less melodic sound, described by Drowned in Sound as akin to an "elongated jamming session".

Critics noted the album's darker sound than previous Warlocks albums. Describing the album's sound and mood, Pitchfork Media wrote: "The end goal here is the Cure: Live at Pompeii – lo-fi dirges heavy on slow-motion distortion, but with Hecksher's usual stoned-out sighs replaced by more pronounced, mopey affectations. That the bookend tracks both feature the word 'death' in the title offers some indication of the kind of mood he's in, and the pervasively dreary mood makes it hard to tell where the pained opener 'The Valley of Death' ends and the quicksand-slow descent of 'Moving Mountains' begins." Spin described the album as the Warlocks being "more funereal than ever". PopMatters countered, writing "Though 'The Valley of Death' starts the record off with a dreary note, the record itself is altogether quite glorious, buzzing and sticky with muck that's convincingly part saccharine."

Release

Heavy Deavy Skull Lover was released on October 7, 2007 by Tee Pee.

Reception

Heavy Deavy Skull Lover received a mixed-to-positive critical reception.

Drowned in Sound wrote "The Warlocks may just have released their best album to date. While not containing the obvious singles of Phoenix, the album that ultimately lifted them into the spotlight of their own accord rather than via associations with co-conspirators, Heavy Deavy Skull Lover is by far their most ambitious, sprawling and intensely defiant collection of sounds [...] this is the 21st Century psychedelic sound of the West Coast in all its glory. Simply immense." The Guardian described the album as "potent stuff, but not something you'd want to listen to every day".

Spin, on the other hand, described it as "a middling version of shoegaze for people who stare at their hands."

Track listing

 "The Valley of Death" – 5:03
 "Moving Mountains" – 10:59
 "So Paranoid" – 6:27
 "Slip Beneath" – 8:07
 "Zombie Like Lovers" – 4:50
 "Dreamless Days" – 5:31
 "Interlude in Reverse" – 3:11
 "Death, I Hear You Walking" – 6:24

Note that on the physical edition there are two hidden tracks.

La Fare-en-Champsaur is a commune in the department of Hautes-Alpes in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Geography
The commune is located in the western part of Champsaur on the left bank of the river Drac opposite Saint-Bonnet-en-Champsaur. It is backed by Mount Mouttet in the foothills of the Dévoluy massif. Its geographical position gives it a pleasant climate in summer but colder in winter.

The town extends from the river Drac (at an elevation of 950m downstream from the bridge of Saint-Bonnet-en-Champsaur) to the heights of Coste Folle (alt. 2079m). The terrain consists of:

 the edge of the Drac which is now largely constrained by the road;
 the Chaup plain, the ancient area of the glacial valley which provides a plateau for crops and pastures;
 a forest of pine and larch which is used for its timber;
 unusable cliffs and rocky slopes;
 some easily accessible areas high on Mount Mouttet.

The old town consists of three closely sited hamlets called Les Farelles, La Fare and Le Serre, and is located on the Chaup plain at an elevation of 1100 metres. This is the older part of the village which is exclusively agricultural and very poor.

The lower part of the village, Les Baraques, Les Allards and Bonnette) was developed around the Grenoble - Gap road (route nationale 85) on the Route Napoléon with a hotel, a tourist office, a cafe and several shops including a supermarket. The council has recently been moved from the old town to Les Baraques.

La Fare communicates with Saint-Bonnet, the 'capital' of Champsaur, via the only bridge on the Drac. The two municipalities are complementary: Saint-Bonnet offers a greater range of services and businesses but is off the main road, and La Fare, which is smaller but better placed, acts as a suburb of the town.

History
The hamlet of Les Baraques (or Barraques) was originally a relay stop for stagecoaches (the term 'baraque' describes the stables for horses on the great journeys of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.) It was an important stop at the foot of the Col Bayard, on the road joining Dauphiné to the province of Gap which was then under the political authority of Dauphiné. The bridge was also a crossroads, particularly important when François de Bonne of Lesdiguières, steward of Dauphiné, returned to the town of Saint-Bonnet.

Les Baraques, therefore, was a place where there were food and shelter, and this continues today. The hamlet has never changed its name, but the town hall was recently moved there, and it is now the name of the town ('La Fare') which appears on signs at the entrance to the village.

Zhang Hanzhi (; 14 July 1935 – 26 January 2008) was a Chinese diplomat who was Mao Zedong's English teacher and U.S. President Richard Nixon's interpreter during his historic 1972 trip to China.

Early life and education

Zhang was born in Shanghai in 1935, the love child of socialite Tan Xueqing and Chen Du, son of General Chen Tiaoyuan.  She was adopted by General Chen's friend, educator and statesman Zhang Shizhao. Her family moved to Beijing in 1949 and four years later, Zhang entered the Beijing Foreign Studies University, where she taught after graduating with a master's degree.

Career
Zhang first met Mao Zedong in 1950. She started to know him and translate English for him. The lessons abruptly stopped in 1964 as the Cultural Revolution began taking shape. In 1971, Zhang was transferred to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she began her diplomatic career and attended a series of landmark meetings, including the ones with Nixon, when the countries began restoring diplomatic relations.

Personal life
Zhang married her first husband Hong Junyan (洪君彦), a Peking University professor, in 1949. Zhang and Hong had a daughter, Hung Huang, who later became an entrepreneur and media figure.

In his memoir, Hong Junyan states that when he was persecuted and humiliated at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Zhang Hanzhi offered no sympathy and instead despised him. She began an affair with a colleague at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute, and was caught in the act by Hong's sister. In 1969, Hong was sent to perform manual labour in Jiangxi Province, and when he returned to Beijing in 1971, rumours were circulating that Zhang was having an affair with Qiao Guanhua, the head of China's UN delegation. Zhang requested a divorce in December 1972, which was finalized in March 1973, and Zhang married Qiao afterwards.

Zhang died on 26 January 2008, due to a lung-related illness.

Attegiae and Ateiae (7th century),
Ateias (9th century),
Attegia (11th century),

Atheae and Athées (13th century),
Estées (14th century),
Athée (16th century),
Attée (17th century),
Athé and Athey (18th century),
Athée (since 1750).

History
The oldest mention of Athée recognised by the majority of historians was in 679 in a Charter of the Cartulary of the Abbey Saint-Bénigne of Dijon.

The Lordship of Athée - consisting of Athée, Poncey, the "Grange Lochère" located at the end of a bridge over the Saône, and Auxonne, as well as Magny-lès-Auxonne 4, was probably founded in the early High Middle Ages.

It is located on Holy Roman Empire land and is one of the three territories which were fiefs of Saint-Seine-sur-Vingeanne depending on the County of Auxonne, run by counts for the monks of the priory of Saint-Vivant-en-Amous. The Lord of Athée was the vassal of Saint-Seine who was himself a vassal of the Count of Auxonne who in turn was a vassal of the monks of Saint-Vivant, who were vassals of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire

From 1237 the Count of Auxonne was replaced in the chain of vassalage by the Duke of Burgundy following an exchange of lands between Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy and John, Count of Chalon.

From 1366 to the French Revolution the Lordship of Athée was held by co-lords who were canons of Sainte-Chapelle de Dijon on the one hand and Lay Lords (the Laverne, Senevoy, Moussier families) on the other.

In 1516 the lordship became subject to the Kingdom of France and depended on the bailiwick of Auxonne and the Généralité de Bourgogne (Generality of Burgundy).

Between 1790 and 1794 Athée, separately from Poncey and Magny, became a French commune depending on the Canton of Auxonne, the district of Saint-Jean-de-Losne, and the department of Côte-d'Or.

Since 1801 the commune has depended on the Canton of Auxonne, the Arrondissement of Dijon, the department of Côte-d'Or, and, since 1960, the region of Burgundy.

Until 1790 Athée was the seat of a Rector and the patron was the Sacristan of Dijon Cathedral depending primarily on the Deanery of Oscheret, then the Archpriest of Genlis of the Diocese of Chalon.

Today Athée is part of the parish of Auxonne, the deanery of Vingeanne-Saône, and the Diocese of Dijon.

"Dreamer" is a song by Italian house group Livin' Joy, written and recorded by Janice Robinson and produced by brothers Paolo and Gianni Visnadi. Originally released in August 1994, it was re-released in 1995 and topped the UK Singles Chart at the number one spot that May, ending 1995 as the UK's 40th-biggest-selling single of 1995. In the United States, it went to number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. It was a sleeper hit on pop radio, but finally managed to peak at number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 75 on the Cash Box Top 100. MTV Dance ranked "Dreamer" number 15 in their list of "The 100 Biggest 90's Dance Anthems of All Time" in November 2011.

When the group was unable to reach a deal with Robinson for a follow-up single she was replaced by American singer Tameko Star. Star recorded a version of "Dreamer" for the Livin' Joy album entitled Don't Stop Movin', but the original by Janice Robinson was a hidden track on the album. In 2005, Robinson released her own version of "Dreamer" as a solo artist, reaching number five in the US Dance chart. In 2018, Robinson auditioned for the fifteenth series of The X Factor, singing "Dreamer" as her performance song 24 years after its original release in 1994.

Style
An example of Italo house and Eurodance, the song is said to blend elements from different electronic genres. Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger explained, "The bumping, cut-up rhythms and vocals that begin the remixed 'Dreamer' [that was a hit] feel like garage, for example, but as Janice Robinson takes the song into its urgently blissful chorus I want to call it house – or even go more specific and say handbag house, that showy, uplifting offshoot that strutted across superclub dancefloors in the mid-90s."

Chart performance
The song was first released in the United Kingdom on 22 August 1994, going straight in at number 18 in the UK Singles Chart. It had a slow and steady decline down the charts shortly after, slipping from its number 18 debut down to 67, exiting the top 100 the following week. On 22 October 1994, it returned to the UK chart after a few weeks out of the top 100, coming straight back in at number 85 before sliding to number 97 and then exiting the top 100 once more. The record again re-entered the UK top 100 in November 1994, at number 99. The following week, it climbed to number 85 before descending one final time to number 97 before it bowed out. However, on 7 May 1995, "Dreamer" returned to the chart, going all the way to number-one on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached the top position on the RM Club Chart by British magazine Music Week.

In Europe, the single was a top-10 hit in Finland (10) and Ireland (7) as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached number six in May 1995. It entered the top 30 in the Netherlands (23) and the top 90 in Germany (87). Outside Europe, the single peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, number three on the RPM Dance chart in Canada, number 28 in Israel, and number 90 in Australia. In the US, "Dreamer" peaked at number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 75 on the Cash Box Top 100, number 38 on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40, and number 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart. In mid-1996, "Dreamer" re-entered the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 95.

Critical reception
Scottish Aberdeen Press and Journal complimented "Dreamer" as a "unforgettable summer stunner". Larry Flick from Billboard remarked that here, Livin' Joy "weaves an irresistible fabric of vibrant house rhythms, blippy electro synth sounds, and fluttering diva vocal loops. Single's stateside run is aided by fresh remixes from Junior Vasquez, who is also on quite a roll these days." He added, "The real beauty of this record is Janice Robinson's divine, lung-bursting vocal." In 1996, Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report said that though they enjoyed plenty of exposure on the Euro club scene, this track didn't quite get the support needed from American radio. "That was then, this is now. Early indications are that the second run for this high-energy entry will be a lot healthier." Howard Cohen from Knight-Ridder Newspapers complimented its "strong melody with punchy keyboards."

Andy Beevers from Music Week gave "Dreamer" four out of five, stating that "this happy house tune from Italy is bound to be a big club hit and its catchy female vocal should help it to cross over." Also on the 1995 re-release, the magazine rated it four out of five, praising it as "the club anthem that gets everyone dancing round their handbags." James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update declared it as an "maddeningly jaunty Italo pop bounder". Stephen Meade from The Network Forty noted that interest in the project had taken off quicker than the availability of the record. "True dance music for crossover radio is no easy trick; Livin' Joy has a story being told in the clubs. It's time for radio to embrace another hit record." Toni Birghental from Sun-Sentinel felt "Dreamer" "has great lyrics, but there's almost a sadness to them: "I never learned how to hold love and stay strong to me/Now I close my eyes now and I'm dreaming right where I belong"."

Retrospective response
In an 2013 retrospective review, Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger rated the song nine out of ten, saying it is "not just about joy – the song’s chorus is a concentrated blurt of fierce hope, a fantasy of togetherness so intense but so impossible that Robinson takes it in double-time, like she’s trying to grab a moment – or a dream – before it vanishes. The song slinks and builds up to that point, its loping bass and keyboard figures giving Robinson space to stretch out a bit and approach lines like Love, life and laughter is all I believe with the lived-in relish they deserve." He explained that it "captures the thing house, and handbag house, do better than almost anything: condense all the hopes, fears, desperation, and fantasies that a dancefloor magics into being, leaving an intense hit of pop that stays in your mind long after the night ends." In 2015, John Hamilton from Idolator called it the "giddy little sister" of Robin S' 1993 floor filler “Show Me Love", describing it as "ebullient". He added that "the jumbo-sized synth bloops and hyper, screeching organ" and "the rip-roaring chorus of “Dreamer” was guaranteed to stick in heads and make fools of amateur lip-syncers."

Music video

There are three versions of the music video for "Dreamer". The first video, for the 1994 version, was directed by Tom Laurie and had split-screen footage of sped up urban cityscapes with a silhouetted female dancer (unclear if this is Janice Robinson). For its 1995 re-release, a new video was made, in which Robinson is performing the song with some scenes on a carousel horse and other scenes on a brass bed and silver foiled background. She also has various changes of wigs and costumes throughout the video. Several shots go from colour to black and white, also intercut separately are dancers/models acting out seductive poses with one model taking a shower fully clothed and other shots with a model holding and stroking a Chihuahua dog. The third version is from the same 1995 re-release video shoot with the 7-inch edit version with alternative edited scenes.

Impact and legacy
In 1995, American DJ George Morel named "Dreamer" one of his "classic cuts", saying, "This is like Robin S but even more pumped up. It's better produced and the vocalist Janice Robinson is amazing." In 2011, MTV Dance ranked the song number 15 in their list of "The 100 Biggest 90's Dance Anthems of All Time".

Alex Party vs. Livin' Joy
Gianni Visnadi (one of the two producers behind Livin' Joy) was no stranger to the UK chart at this point. He and his brother Paolo had already released a previous dance track under the Alex Party banner. "Read My Lips/Saturday Night Party" was released on 18 December 1993 where it entered at number 49. It remained in the top 100 for 6 weeks before it was re-released yet again on 28 May 1994. This time he had a little more success as "Read My Lips" peaked at number 29. It spent 5 weeks in the top 100.

After seeing the moderate success of "Dreamer" and "Read My Lips", both Paolo and Gianni then decided to focus on Alex Party once again to record "Don't Give Me Your Life" which peaked at number 2 in the United Kingdom where it spent 8 weeks in the top 10 and a total of 14 weeks in the top 100. After the major success of "Don't Give Me Your Life", the signature Visnadi sounds of thumping beats, commanding vocals and the organ sounds and synths had cemented themselves as the popular sound in dance music. Visnadi decided to revive "Dreamer" under the Livin' Joy banner. It received an updated remix but stayed true to its original form. This was the single that finally took the Visnadi brothers to number one, beating the out-going number one by Oasis by a narrow margin of just 500 sales.

"Wrap Me Up" entered the chart on 18 November 1995 and peaked at number 17, spending just six weeks in the top 100. As a last stab at success under the Alex Party banner, Visnadi remixed and re-released "Read My Lips". This did not match the success of "Don't Give Me Your Life", crashing into the top 40 at number 28 where it dropped out of the UK top 100 in just two weeks. Alex Party was then scrapped and their focus was back on Livin' Joy with Tameko Star taking over as lead singer from Janice Robinson.
