Elhanan Glazer (; born 13 August 1947) is an Israeli politician. He served as a member of the Knesset for Gil, Justice for the Elderly and The Right Way between 2006 and 2009.

Biography
Born in Rehovot during the Mandate era, Glazer today lives in Rishon LeZion, and is widowed with three children.

China-Niuean relations are relations between China and Niue.

Niue has been self-governing in free association with New Zealand since 3 September 1974 when the people endorsed the Constitution in a plebiscite. Niue is fully responsible for its internal affairs. Niue's position concerning its external relations is less clear cut. Section 6 of the Niue Constitution Act provides that:

Section 8 elaborates as follows:

Niue established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China on December 12, 2007. Notwithstanding Niue's constitutional position, the New Zealand government is clear that it does have the capacity and right to establish diplomatic relations with any country, the New Zealand government website stating that:

Traditionally, Niue's foreign relations and defence have been regarded as the responsibility of New Zealand, which has full diplomatic relations with China. Importantly, it is a requirement of Niue's constitution that in such matters," consultation between the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Premier of Niue" must take place and it is not clear that such consultation did, in fact, take place before Niue purported to establish diplomatic relations with China. As such, Niue's authorities may have acted outside the powers conferred on them under Niue's constitution.

Another notable matter is that the Joint Communique signed by Niue and China is different in its treatment of the Taiwan question from that agreed by New Zealand and China. New Zealand "acknowledged" China's position on Taiwan but has never expressly agreed with it, but Niue "recognizes that there is only one China in the world, the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China and Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of China." Critics have asked whether Niueans can continue to benefit from free association with New Zealand and yet disregard New Zealand's advice and establish an independent foreign policy.

On 18 October 2008, Zhang Limin, China's first ambassador to Niue, presented his credentials to Niue Prime Minister Toke Talagi in the capital of Alofi.  His credentials were accepted by the Niuean Premier. Mr. Zhang is also China's ambassador to New Zealand where he is based.

In July 2009, Talagi stated that, if development aid were not forthcoming from New Zealand, he would request aid from China instead.

China's opening of diplomatic relations with Niue may be seen within the wider context of China's relations with the Pacific region. Every independent country in Oceania currently maintains diplomatic and economic relations either with the People's Republic of China or with the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Further background

The establishment of diplomatic relations between Niue and China followed a number of discussions between the two sides. In 2004, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao sent a telegram to Niue PM Young Vivian to convey his sympathy on Niue suffering windstorm. In April, 2006, Premier Wen met with PM Young Vivian during the conference of “China-Pacific Island Countries Economic Development & Cooperation Forum” held in Fiji. Niuean Prime Minister Young Vivian and the Chinese Foreign Minister, Li Zhaoxing, held discussions in Wellington in on 1 August 2006. In June 2007, Niue PM Young Vivian visited China.

The island has a representative mission in Wellington, New Zealand. Niue is also a member of the Pacific Islands Forum and a number of regional and international agencies. It is not a member of the United Nations, but is a state party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Ottawa Treaty and the Treaty of Rarotonga.

Rear Admiral Christopher John Parry,   (born 29 November 1953) is a British retired Royal Navy officer who was the first chair of the British Government's Marine Management Organisation until November 2010.

Education
Parry was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School, Jesus College, Oxford, where he read modern history, and the University of Reading, where his Doctor of Philosophy degree was awarded in 2017 for a thesis titled "Do Norman Dixon's theories about incompetence apply to senior naval commanders?"

Naval career
Parry joined the Royal Navy as a seaman officer in 1972 and then became an observer in the Fleet Air Arm in 1979. In 1982, he was mentioned in despatches for his actions during the Falklands War, his part in rescuing sixteen SAS troopers from Fortuna Glacier in South Georgia and for the detection and disabling of the Argentinian submarine Santa Fe. He believes depth charges he launched were the first "shots" fired in the recapture of the Falklands.

In 1989, he was promoted to commander. He commanded the air defence destroyer  and the Maritime Warfare Centre. In June 1997, he was promoted to captain and in January 2000 was posted as commanding officer of . As a commodore, he was Director Operational Capability in the Ministry of Defence (2000–2003) and then Commander Amphibious Task Group from September 2003. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2004 Birthday Honours. He was promoted to rear admiral in January 2005 when he became Director General, Development, Concepts and Doctrine, a role he held until 2008.

Recent activities
Since June 2008, Parry has worked in the private sector and as a writer, broadcaster and speaker. He served as the first chair of the British Government's Marine Management Organisation from April 2010 to November 2010.

On 12 June 2010, in an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he described the planning for the UK's 2006 deployment of 3,300 troops to Helmand Province in Afghanistan as flawed, relying too much on lessons from Borneo, Malaya and Northern Ireland. The subsequent BBC News article quotes him as saying that senior commanders had obdurately resisted "ditching the lessons from the past", preferring these to the "radical and progressive ideas" which were needed.

Biography

Zwerling began her television career as a technical advisor and writer for the medical drama Presidio Med. The series was canceled before completing its first season. Presidio Med was created and executive produced by John Wells. Following the conclusion of Presidio Med Wells hired Zwerling as a story editor for the tenth season of long running medical drama ER.

"Back in the World" was co-written with executive producer and show runner David Zabel. "Ruby Redux" was co-written with executive producer Lydia Woodward.

For the twelfth season Zwerling became a producer, initially being credited as a co-producer. Zwerling co-wrote the season opener "Canon City" with Wells and co-executive producer Joe Sachs. She co-wrote a further episode, "Quintessence of Dust", again with Zabel, and scripted a third episode "Lost in America" on her own.

She was promoted for the thirteenth season becoming a producer and contributing a further five episodes - "Graduation Day" (with executive producer Janine Sherman Barrois), "Scoop and Run", "City of Mercy" (with Zabel), "Crisis of Conscience", and "Sea Change".

She garnered more responsibility for the fourteenth season becoming a supervising producer and writing a further five episodes including the season finale. She collaborated with staff writer Karen Maser on "In A Different Light" - Zwerling's first episode collaborating with a junior writer. She also wrote "The Test", "Atonement", "Truth Will Out" (again with Maser), and season finale "The Chicago Way" with David Zabel.

Hacho Kirilov Boyadzhiev (; 20 January 1932 – 23 April 2012) was a Bulgarian television and film director.

He was probably best known as the director of the popular TV musical The Phoney Civilization (1974) as well as the director of the New Year's evening TV Variety-Shows broadcast by the national television.

Biography and career
Boyadzhiev was born in Sofia under the name Imre as the illegitimate son of car racer and bohemian Dimitar Sokolov and 17-year-old Hungarian emigrant mother Piri, a milliner. However, his mothers' parents did not approve the two's relationship and he was adopted by the Novi Pazar merchant Kiril Boyadzhiev, whom he considers his real father, when he was six months old; the document was issued in Skopje. Until the death of his adoptive father, he didn't see his Hungarian mother by birth.

Boyadzhiev spent his childhood in Novi Pazar and then enrolled in the Saint Augustine French college in Plovdiv. During the Allied bombings of the city in 1943, he returned to Novi Pazar. In 1951, he began studying mathematics at Sofia University but soon moved to the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts to study directing.

After graduating and heading the Vidin Theatre Boyadzhiev went to Beirut, Lebanon, after an invitation by a fellow student. In Lebanon, he suffered a severe car crash due to a drugged taxi driver; of the six people in the car, only Boyadzhiev survived, although with a broken backbone. After his rehabilitation he worked as a make-up man for an Arabic movie. At age 28–29, he moved to Paris, France, by becoming a stoker on a Beirut–Marseille steamship. In France he was a waiter in a bistro; it was at this time that he met filmmaker René Clair and went on to work as his assistant for three years.

Boyadzhiev  also worked in New York City in the United States as well as Canada (as a CBS correspondent) and Hollywood and took his doctor's degree in cinema and television studies from the University of Cambridge. In 1963–1964, he started working with the Bulgarian National Television as a news director: among the best-known television programmes he has directed are Flight Over the Night and Todor Kolev's How are we Going to Catch up with the Americans…?. From 1993 to 1995, he headed the Bulgarian National Television; in 1971–1979, he was the television's head director. He was married two times and had seven daughters, most from women he has not been married to. Three were born in Bulgaria and bear his family name, two were born in the United States, one in France and one in England.

He died on 23 April 2012 in Sofia.

Motor-Kritik was the title of a progressive automotive magazine, published by the H.Bechhold Verlagsbuchhandlung in Germany from 1929 to 1945. It originated from the earlier Klein-Motor-Sport magazine.

History
Klein-Motor-Sport was the title of a German magazine about motorcycles and small cars, founded by Civil-Ing. Oscar Ursinus and published from 1922 to 1929.

Publishing house H.Bechhold Verlagsbuchhandlung took over the unprofitable title in 1927. In order to revitalize the magazine, the publisher assigned the young progressive engineer and critical automotive journalist Josef Ganz as editor-in-chief. He started as from the first issue of January 1928. Josef Ganz used Klein-Motor-Sport as a platform to criticize heavy, unsafe and old-fashioned cars and promote innovative design. The magazine quickly gained in reputation and influence and, in January 1929, was renamed into the more appropriate title Motor-Kritik.

‘With the ardent conviction of a missionary’, so post-war Volkswagen director Heinrich Nordhoff would later say, ‘Josef Ganz in Motor-Kritik attacked the old and well-established auto companies with biting irony.’ These companies fought against Motor-Kritik with lawsuits, slander campaigns and an advertising boycott. However, every new attempt for destruction only increased the publicity for the magazine and Josef Ganz firmly established himself as the leading independent automotive innovator in Germany.

As a Jew, however, Josef Ganz was forced to resign as editor-in-chief by the Gestapo in 1933. His position was taken over by his colleague Georg Ising, who remained editor-in-chief throughout the Second World War until the termination of the magazine in 1945.

The Maharaja of Indore Necklace is a diamond and emerald-studded necklace. As of 2008, it is on display at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., United States. It was originally named the Spanish Inquisition Necklace by the American jeweller Harry Winston, though it had no known connection with the historical Spanish Inquisition. The name was changed in 2021 by the Smithsonian Institution to reflect its actual provenance, having been first owned by Tukoji Rao III, Maharaja of Indore in the early 20th century.

Provenance
The emeralds threaded onto the necklace were originally mined in Colombia. The diamonds were mined in India. While the necklace's gemstones are believed to have been cut in India in the 17th century, the early history of the necklace itself is unknown. The diamonds and emeralds featured in the necklace are the oldest known cut gemstones belonging to the National Museum. American jeweller Harry Winston, who named the necklace, claimed that it was owned first by Spanish royalty. However, the first recorded owner of the piece was Tukoji Rao III, Maharaja of Indore, then a princely state within India, in the early 20th century. Upon his abdication, the necklace was passed to his son, Yashvantrao II, who took up his father's throne.

In 1947, Yashvantrao sold the necklace to the American jeweler Harry Winston. Winston named it the Spanish Inquisition Necklace, with no explanation other than "It dates back to that period in history", and invented a backstory that prior to its ownership by Tukoji Rao III, it was first owned by the Spanish royal family and then by unnamed members of the French Court. Winston's claims were never substantiated, and are unlikely to be true, as several stylistic elements of the necklace point to its origins being Indian, during the period of the Mughal Empire.

After purchasing the necklace, Winston lent it out that year to actress Katharine Hepburn, who wore it to the 19th Academy Awards ceremony. The necklace formed part of Winston's "Court of Jewels", a nationally touring exhibition of jewels and jewelry including the Hope Diamond and the Star of the East. In 1955, Winston sold the necklace to Cora Hubbard Williams of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Williams held the necklace until 1972, when she bequeathed it to the Smithsonian Institution. Since then, it has been on display in the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals of the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.

Design
The upper half of the necklace consists of twenty-four small diamonds threaded onto a silver chain. The lower half of the necklace is divided into two concentric semi-circular strands, each carrying eight pairs of slightly yellow "football-shaped" mine-cut diamonds and four pairs of barrel-cut emeralds, arranged symmetrically. The centre of the lower strand holds a large 44.84 carat emerald supporting a pendant which itself holds five smaller emeralds. The central emerald is cut in traditional Indian style, with the original stone's faces simply rounded off and polished, and the stone attached to the chain of the necklace by means of a hole drilled through the centre.

The point where the upper and lower halves of the necklace join is marked by two large emeralds threaded onto the chain, cut and drilled in the same manner as the central emerald. The silver clasp at the back of the necklace is a modern addition, and its design matches that of the pendant. Altogether, there are 15 emeralds and 374 diamonds in the necklace.

Baby Life is a simulation for the Nintendo DS by French studio Pasta Games.  The gameplay of the game is somewhat similar with the Tamagotchi games but more complex.

Development
The game was published by Deep Silver, the games label of digital entertainment company Koch Media, and French publisher Game Life. Game Life had previously released the title Horse Life which had demonstrated the concept. The game was a Nintendo DS exclusive that was released at the end of 2008. Koch Media owned the publishing rights for all PAL regions. The game was previewed at the Games Convention 2008 alongside Horse Life 2.

Gameplay
In the game, players take control of their personal babies. from age 9 to 15 months. They teach the baby speech, movement, and behaviour. Over 100 clothing items can be accessed, either to use or to trade over Wi-Fi. The game utilises NDS features such as the speech system and the stylus. Emmanuel Drouin, managing director of Game Life, said that the game allows players to interact with the "most lovely hero you can have in a videogame: a baby".

Critical reception
Softpedia described the gameplay as "clearly more complex and probably even more fun" than a Tamagotchi. Pocket Gamer jokingly argued that the game is an alternative to those who want a baby but who are unwilling or unable to attract a member of the opposite sex.

The River Street Bridge is a bridge on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts, connecting River Street in Cambridge to Cambridge Street in Allston near the southern end of the Harvard University campus.  It was built in 1925 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Metropolitan District Commission.

The bridge carries one-way traffic going east, into Cambridge.  Westbound traffic must take the nearby Western Avenue Bridge.

History

The original bridge at the site, a wooden drawbridge, was built in 1810.  The bridge was built in response to the 1793 construction of the West Boston Bridge (at the site of the current Longfellow Bridge), because the two bridges together greatly shortened the route from Boston to Cambridge, which previously had to take a highway around the Back Bay through Roxbury.

The current reinforced-concrete bridge was constructed in 1925 with three arches that span 330 feet.  It was designed by Robert P. Bellows in a style resembling the Pont Neuf in Paris.

The Truth About Poop is a book by Susan E. Goodman and illustrated by Elwood H. Smith, published by Viking Children's Books.

Book information
The book has chapters about the nature of excrement, its production, varieties, uses in love, war, sports, the development of flushing toilets, toilet paper, and urban waste reclamation.

Reception
A Kirkus Reviews review says, "A steaming pile of fun, redolent of wide-ranging research but most suited to recreational dipping, and a fine lead-in to Masoff's monumental Oh, Yuck/The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty, illustrated by Terry Sirrell (2000)". A Publishers Weekly review says, "While Goodman delivers the straight stuff about international and U.S. bathroom practices, demonstrating that scrupulous research can be fun, Smith (Raise the Roof!) creates vaudevillean cartoons that suggest their steamy subject but don't get too close. This scatological documentary could make a splash". Rachel G. Payne, of School Library Journal, reviewed the book saying, " Even though the cover illustration of an elephant on a chamber pot may make browsers think it is a potty-training book, the rest of Smith's retro cartoons in muted colors provide humor without being too gross".

Wabanquot, Wabonaquod, Wah-bon-ah-quot, Wau-bon-a-quat or Wa-bon-o-quot (ca. 1830-1898) was an Ojibwa chief. Wabanquot (from the Ojibwe Waabaanakwad: White Cloud) was born at Gull Lake, Minnesota, around 1830. He succeeded to the office of chief of the Ojibwa at the death of his father, Waubojeeg, one of the principal chiefs for the Gull Lake Band of Mississippi Chippewa.

After the Dakota War of 1862, the Gull Lake Band was removed to the Leech Lake area. There, Wabanquot was considered by many to be the principal chief of the removed Mississippi bands of Chippewa. He was a signatory to the Treaty of Washington (1867) (), in which on June 14, 1868, he led his band to the White Earth Indian Reservation, where he lived until his death 30 years later.

Upon his supposed conversion to Christianity sometime in the 1870s, he adopted the name D.G. Wright after an Episcopalian benefactor, but he rarely used his English name; however, sometime in the 1890s before his death, he converted to Roman Catholicism.

Memorials
 Chief White Cloud State Monument (), in Becker County, in Calvary Catholic Cemetery of the St. Benedict's Mission, a mile south of White Earth, honoring Chippewa Chief White Cloud, was established in 1909. The monument inscription says:

 The United States Navy tug USS Wabanquot, in service from 1945 to 1976, was named for him.

The First Congregational Church and Parsonage is a historic church complex at 23 Pepperrell Road (Maine State Route 103) in the Kittery Point section of Kittery, Maine.  Built in 1730 for a congregation first organized in 1653, the church is the oldest in Kittery, and one of the oldest in the state of Maine.  It is accompanied by a parsonage house, built in 1729, and a small cemetery, established in 1733.   The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978; the cemetery was added to the listing in 1997.

Description and history
The First Congregational Church in Kittery was organized in 1653.  In 1729 this congregation elected to build a new parsonage.  Although completed the same year, the adjacent 1728 church building burned down, and the present church building was constructed the following year.  It was built with the support of merchant William Pepperrell, Sr., the father of French and Indian War hero, William Pepperrell, also an active member of the congregation.  In 1733 the parish established a burial ground south of church (across Pepperrell Road), which is now the burial site of many of the town's leading citizens.  A new parsonage was built in 1910, between the old one and the church. Nearby is the Lady Pepperrell House, built in 1760.

The church is a modest rectangular wood-frame structure, now facing south, with a gable roof and a small tower.  The three-bay main facade has the main entrance at its center, with tall windows in the outer bays, and a smaller sash window above the entrance in the gable.  Greek Revival paneled pilasters are found at the building corners.  The square tower has a short first stage, topped by a belfry with louvered openings and pilasters.  The tower is capped by a segmented dome.  The building has seen numerous alterations, and most of its decorative elements are the result of Greek Revival renovations in 1840.  The building interior retains its original two-aisle layout and its pulpit.  The building was moved a short distance to its present site and orientation in 1872.

The old parsonage is a -story wood-frame building, with a five-bay facade facing south, and a long five-bay two-story ell extending to the rear, facing the road to the west.  In 1958 a second ell was added to the north side.  After the new parsonage was built in 1910, this building was used as a community center.

The cemetery is about  in size, and is bounded on three sides by a low stone wall, believed to date to 1733, and on the fourth by the Piscataqua River.  An iron gate, mounted on concrete posts with round-arch panels and finials, was added to the north entrance in 1910.  Burials in the cemetery date from the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries.  The most prominent marker is dedicated to the crew of the Hattie Eaton, lost at sea with all hands in 1876.

Baby Pals is a simulation-style video game for the Nintendo DS developed by American studio Brain Toys that released in North America and in the PAL  region in late 2007 and early 2008. The objective of the game is to take care of a virtual baby through certain tasks as feeding, bathing, and teaching just like a real father or mother would do. Players can choose the gender of the baby.

Reception

IGN rated the 4 of 10 stating that "I'd really recommend passing this one by, and I'd hope that the developers of this one would think twice about including elements like that again in any potential future follow-up."

Alleged subliminal message
According to news reports, a mother who purchased the game for her child reported that the babies in the game say something that sounds like "Islam is the light" under certain circumstances. The babies in the game generally do not have any spoken dialog. However, according to a representative from the game's publisher, Crave Entertainment, the sound bit came from "a recording of a 5-month-old baby babbling non-intelligible phrases." He pointed out that "the baby being recorded was too young to pronounce these words let alone a whole grammatically correct phrase."

Abbas Zakour (, ; born 30 December 1965) is an Israeli Arab politician and a former member of the Knesset for the United Arab List.

Biography
Born in Acre, Zakour gained a BA in Islamic Sciences at the Al-Quds University in 1990. He later worked as director of the Almotak newspaper.

For the 2006 Knesset elections, he was placed fourth on the United Arab List list, and became a Knesset member when the party won four seats. In December 2008, he left the UAL and established a new party, the Arab Centre Party, to run in the 2009 Knesset elections. Zakour stated that the party would join "any leftist government that supports peace", and hopes to win four seats. Labor Party MK Raleb Majadele was asked to head the party, but turned the offer down. It was planned that Zakour would head the list, whilst former United Arab List and Arab National Party MK Muhamad Kanan would take second spot. However, Zakour later joined Balad, winning fourth place on its list, and the new party did not run. Balad won three seats in the election, meaning Zakour lost his place in the Knesset.

In 2006, Zakour was stabbed and lightly wounded by a gang of Russian immigrants shouting anti-Arab chants. The attack was part of a "stabbing rampage", and was described as a "hate crime".

Zakour lives in Acre, and is married.

Joseph (J.E.) Emmanuel Triay QC (5 October 1931 – 3 July 2012) was a Gibraltarian lawyer and politician, best known for having been one of the promoters of the Doves in the 1960s.

Joseph Triay's daughter Cristina is married to Peter Caruana, former Chief Minister of Gibraltar.

Education and legal career
Son to S.P. Triay QC, J.E. was born in Gibraltar in October 1931, and educated at an English boarding school. He was called to the Middle Temple and the bar in Gibraltar in 1952 and became Queen's Counsel in 1982. Following the sudden death of his father, J.E. and his brother, J.J. inherited their father's law firm later to become Triay & Triay.

Political career and controversy
At the height of Franco's campaign against Gibraltar in his attempt to claim its sovereignty during the 1960s, J.E. was involved in great controversy when he, as one of the group calling themselves the Doves advocated a political settlement with Spain and made contact with the Spanish Government of the time. The Gibraltarian public reaction was to revolt, bringing about the worst and most violent riot in its recent history. The Triay & Triay chambers were ransacked and J.E. suffered a petrol bomb attack to his home shortly after the publication of a letter advocating such political settlement. His family were inside whilst the attack took place but no-one was harmed. His yacht, the Patricia E, was the subject of an arson attack a few months later.

Triay was involved in local politics during the 1970s. He stood for the 1976 election, as an independent, and in the 1980 election, as leader of the Party for the Autonomy of Gibraltar. He later concentrated on his law practice and never spoke again publicly about politics.

Death
Triay died in July 2012 aged 80.

Australian Poetry is a national not-for-profit organisation representing Australian poets, based at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne. The organisation was created in 2011 by the amalgamation of Poets Union Inc., based in New South Wales, and the Australian Poetry Centre Inc. of Victoria.

The PUA - Poets Union of Australia was originally established in 1977. Branches went on to be established nationally. The Australian Poetry Centre was launched in 2007, based on the work of the earlier (founded 2002) organisation called the Poetry Australia Foundation.

Australian Poetry publishes the Australian Poetry Journal and the Australian Poetry Anthology.

History

Melbourne Poets Union
The Melbourne Poets Union (MPU) was established in 1977, but later incorporated in New South Wales, with branches nationally.

There was a national body, the Poets Union of Australia, from 1978. This body was based in Footscray, Victoria, and published a newsletter called the Poets Union News. During this time, the Sydney/NSW branch of the Union held readings in pubs in Sydney, such as one at the Royal Standard Hotel at which Michael Wilding was one of the readers.

Lee Cataldi, Anna Couani (President of the Sydney branch), Rae Desmond Jones, Kate Llewellyn, Alan Wearne, Les Wicks, Chris Mansell and Judith Wright and many other Australian writers were associated with the Poets' Union.

One source gives 1980 as the end date of the national body (possibly in some states?), stating that after this date, state organisations took over its functions. However the South Australian branch, known as the South Australian Poets' Union, or S.A. Poets' Union, existed until 1987: "The S.A. Poets' Union was established to serve the needs of Friendly Street at first, but the organisation ceased in 1987". K. F. Pearson was Secretary for two and a half years, from 1979 until 1982. The organisation was wound up in November 1987.

Poets Union (NSW)
The Poets Union was also referred to as the Poets Union of New South Wales. Over its lifetime, its publications included:
Newsletters of the Sydney Branch of the Poets Union;
Muse News: The Monthly Newsletter of the Poets Union NSW (1984–1993);
OzMuze (Vol. 1 no. 1, October 1990 – Vol. 2 no. 4, April 1992);
Five Bells, a quarterly journal (named after the poem by Australian poet Kenneth Slessor) from 1993/4 to 2010;
A biennial anthology of members' poems; and
Two and a Half Bells, a newsletter.

Poets' Union Inc
From 1998 the Poets Union officially became a national body, the Poets' Union Inc.

From 1999 the Poets Union held regular poetry readings at the Brett Whiteley Studio in Sydney, after a one-off held there in 1998. Brook Emery, former President of the Poets Union, coordinated the readings at the Studio until 2008, when Angela Stretch started serving in the new position of curator and coordinator.

As of 2008 most of the members were based in New South Wales (391), but there were 74 Victorian members and a spread of members through the other states and the Northern Territory. It held the biennial National Poetry Festival (aka Australian Poetry Festival) in cities across Australia; in 2008, panels were stated concurrently in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. Its annual "Poets on Wheels Tour", in which 15 member poets toured regional NSW, was one of its longest-running and most popular programmes.

Poetry Australia Foundation
The Poetry Australia Foundation was created as a community-based organisation in 2002 "to promote the reading, writing, reviewing and appreciation of poetry in all its forms". Its funding was assisted by the Australia Council, the New South Wales Government, the School of Creative Arts at the University of Melbourne (which hosted their website), the University of Wollongong, and private sponsors. Its publication arm was Five Islands Press, which published the biannual journal Blue Dog. The organisation was overseen by Ron Pretty.

Australian Poetry Centre
In June 2007, the Australian Poetry Centre was launched, based on the work of the Poetry Australia Foundation. The new organisation was housed at Glenfern, the former home of Arthur Merric Boyd and now a National Trust of Australia property, which was also home to the Victorian Writers' Centre. Satirist John Clarke was patron, and they took over publication of Blue Dog, had editors across the country. Seeing itself as a body for national coordination and advocacy, its listed objectives were:
To strengthen the presence and profile of Australian poetry within Australia and overseas; and
To promote the writing, reading, and appreciation of poetry as an integral part of personal and community life.

Merger
In 2011, the Poets Union Inc. (based in NSW) and Australian Poetry Centre Inc (based in Victoria) merged to become a national peak body, called Australian Poetry. It was created at the request of the Australia Council for the Arts, and came into being by the disestablishment of The Poets Union Inc. (NSW) and Australian Poetry Centre Inc. (Vic), with their assets being sunk into the new national body, with effect from 1 January 2011. These state-based bodies operated as associations under their respective state legislation, where all members were able to vote on matters affecting the business of the association. For the new entity to be able to operate nationally, it needed to be created as a company, under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Founding members were to become the inaugural directors, while voting members comprise current and past directors. Poetry Australia was incorporated as a not-for-profit public company "limited by guarantee" under the Corporations Act 2001, on 1 September 2010.

Description
Australian Poetry is based at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne. Its mission is to connect Australian poets with each other, and support them by promoting their poetry both in Australia and abroad, as well as serving and reaching more readers and lovers of poetry.

Organisation and governance
As a company created under the conditions described above in History, there are two levels of members: subscriber members, who pay a membership fee in order to receive a range of services from the company, and constitutional members, who have in the past acted or who currently act as directors of the company. It has charitable status, able to funds through its public trust fund, The Australian Poetry Public Fund.

, the chair of the Board of Australian Poetry is Martin Dolan. Poet, academic, comedian and photographer Yvette Holt, also chair of the First Nations Australia Writers Network (FNAWN), is a member of the board. Jacinta Le Plastrier is the CEO.

Publications
The biannual Australian Poetry Journal is a national poetry journal published by Australian Poetry. Each issue is guest-edited and contains articles as well as poems. It has been published in print form since 2010/2011 and online since Vol. 4, no. 2 (Summer 2014).
The annual Australian Poetry Anthology, also known as Australian Poetry Members Anthology, is published in print each year, and is also available electronically. It contains a selection of poems written by members, and the first issue was published in 2012.

Awards
The Scanlon Prize for Indigenous Poetry was a biennial award run by Australian Poetry (and before that the Poets' Union) with the support of the Scanlon Foundation, for the best collection of Indigenous poetry. In 2014, the First Nations Australia Writers Network (FNAWN) worked with Australian Poetry on the management of the prize. It was worth  in 2016.

Vincenzo Riccati (Castelfranco Veneto, 11 January 1707 – Treviso, 17 January 1775) was a Venetian Catholic priest, mathematician, and physicist.

Life
Vincenzo Riccati was born in 1707 in Castelfranco Veneto, a small town about 30 km north of Padua. He was the brother of Giordano Riccati, and the second son of Jacopo Riccati. He began his studies at the College of St. Francis Xavier in Bologna, under the guidance of Luigi Marchenti, a pupil of the French mathematician Pierre Varignon. He entered the Society of Jesus on December 20, 1726. He taught belles lettres in the colleges of the Order in Piacenza (1728), Padua (1729), and Parma (1734). He then went to Rome to study theology. In 1739 he was assigned to the College of St. Francis Xavier of Bologna, where he taught mathematics for thirty years, succeeding his former teacher Luigi Marchenti. He was among the first members of the Italian National Academy of Sciences. In 1760 he was elected Honorary Fellow of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Riccati's main research continued the work of his father in mathematical analysis, especially in the fields of the differential equations and physics. In 1746 and 1749 Riccati published two works, in which he discussed the question of the parallelogram of forces in the context of the vis viva controversy. In 1752, he published the short treatise De usu motus tractorii in constructione aequationum diﬀerentialium, in which he proved that all first-order (ordinary) differential equations conceivable at the time could be constructed using tractional motion.

Riccati's main contributions to mathematics and physics were published in two volumes, Opusculorum ad res physicas mathematicas pertinentium (Bologna, 1757-1762), where he introduced the use of hyperbolic functions. Vincenzo edited, in collaboration with his brother Giordano, the Works of his father and published, in collaboration with his friend and student Girolamo Saladini, the three-volume treatise Institutiones analyticae, an important textbook on calculus printed in Bologna in 1765-67. Ten years later Saladini produced an Italian translation of the work under the title Instituzioni Analitiche. Riccati's Institutiones analyticae is the fullest 18th-century Italian treatise on analytic methods in mathematics.

After the suppression of the Society of Jesus, Riccati retired to his family home in Treviso, where he died on January 17, 1775. Riccati was a friend and correspondent of Maria Gaetana Agnesi and Ramiro Rampinelli.

Contributions
His contributions were in hyperbolic functions for solutions of cubics, their derivatives and exponential fiunctions. Lambert is sometimes incorrectly credited as the first to introduce the hyperbolic functions, however, he did this subsequent to Riccati's contributions in 1770. Riccati not only introduced these new functions but also derived the integral formulas connected with them. He then went on to derive the integral formulas for the trigonometric functions. Riccati with Saladini also worked on the rose curves, which was first postulated by Grandi. Like his father, Vincenzo Riccati was skilled in hydraulic engineering. His efforts and implementations of flood control projects saved the regions around Venice and Bologna.

Riccati's hyperbolic addition laws

Vincenzo Riccati (1757) introduced hyperbolic functions cosh and sinh, which he denoted as Ch. and Sh. related by  with r being set to unity in modern publications, and formulated the addition laws of hyperbolic sine and cosine:

He furthermore showed that  and  follow by setting  and  in the above formulas.

Jay Cooke Allen Jr. (Seattle, 7 July 1900 Carmel, 20 December 1972) was an American journalist. He worked mostly for the Chicago Tribune, though his contributions appeared also in many other US newspapers, especially between the mid-1920s and the mid-1930s. He is known mostly as a foreign correspondent active during the Spanish Civil War; his interview with Francisco Franco, report from Badajoz and interview with José Antonio Primo de Rivera are at times considered 3 most important journalistic accounts of the conflict and made enormous impact around the globe. His work as war correspondent is extremely controversial: some consider him a model of impartial, investigative journalism, and some think his work an examplary case of ideologically motivated manipulation and fake news.

Early career (before 1936)

Infancy and youth

His father Jay Cooke Allen (1868–1948) was born in Kentucky but he settled in Seattle and practiced as an attorney; his mother Jeanne Maud Lynch (1876–1901) was a first generation Irish-American. She died due to tuberculosis when Jay was 15-months old. The religion-motivated legal battle for custody over Jay ensued between Jeanne's Catholic relatives and the Methodist father, who eventually emerged victorious. Some authors speculate that the episode might have influenced later Allen's hostility towards the Catholic Church. However, Allen's juvenile relations with his father were also tense, since Jay Allen Sr. became a violent alcohol addict. Jay left home in his early teens and moved to the East Coast, where he became the boarder at the Pullman College in Washington. After graduation Jay Allen Jr. entered an unidentified faculty at the Harvard, where he received his master's degree in 1920. Afterwards in the early 1920s he was employed by The Portland Oregonian.

In Paris

In 1924 Allen married Ruth Myrtle Austin (1899–1990), a woman from Woodburn in Oregon; on they honeymoon the couple went to France. When in Paris they befriended Ernest Hemingway, who tipped Allen off that he was about to resign his job with the Paris office of the Chicago Daily Tribune. Allen immediately applied for the vacancy and was successful. In 1925 he joined the paper's foreign service; Allen's first signed correspondence in Tribune is dated February 19, 1926. His only son Jay Cooke Michael (later Protestant minister and dean of the Yale Divinity School) was born in Paris in 1927. Between 1924 and 1934 Allen remained formally based in France though he spent long spells abroad, especially in Geneva, where he reported from the League of Nations. At the time he covered events in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Poland and the Balkans. As foreign correspondent Allen travelled extensively across Europe and went as far as to the Polish-Lithuanian border.

In Spain

Allen's job took him to Spain a few times in the late 1920s; he briefly resided in Madrid in 1930. The Allens became close friends to an aristocrat turned radical socialist Constancia de la Mora, who in turn introduced them to numerous left-wing activists. He settled in Madrid again in early 1934, this time with the intention to go on as a journalist but also to study the agrarian question. Allen resumed his personal contacts with radical left-wing journalists, intellectuals, artists and politicians. He forged friendship with Juan Negrín, Luis Araquistáin, Julio Álvarez del Vayo, Rodolfo Llopis, Luis Quintanilla and many others. Following the Asturian revolution he hosted in his apartment Amador Fernández, the leader of Asturian miners who went into hiding. In his correspondence to American press he remained highly sympathetic towards the revolutionaries; at one point he was arrested and interrogated by the police, but was soon set free. In the mid-1930s Allen settled in Torremolinos, in a hotel owned by a British friend.

Spanish civil war (1936–1937)

Interview with Franco

Following the news of the July Coup Allen immediately left Torremolinos and fled to Gibraltar; en route his car was mistakenly fired at – according to his own account – by "very nervous squad of Republican soldiers", who killed the driver. In late July he shuttled between Gibraltar and the Spanish Morocco. As American press correspondent he gained access to the entourage of Francisco Franco and managed to secure what is often erroneously referred to as the first interview with the general after the coup. The conversation took place on July 27 in Tetuán, and the interview appeared in News Chronicle of July 29, 1936. Allen presented Franco in rather unsympathetic though prophetic terms as an excessively self-confident "midget who would be a dictator", the person consumed by anti-Masonic and anti-Marxist obsession. According to Allen when asked whether he was ready to "shoot half Spain", Franco confirmed that he was prepared to save the country from Marxism "at whatever cost". This statement was also emphasized in the sub-title.

Badajoz

Allen's whereabouts between late July and mid-August are not clear, though he probably shuttled between Gibraltar, Spanish Morocco and the international zone of Tanger. At some time – the exact date remains disputed – he flew from Tanger to Lisbon and than drove to the border town of Elvas. According to his own claim, on August 23 he visited Badajoz, the city taken by the Nationalist troops on August 14. In late August he was back in Tanger. On August 30, 1936 The Chicago Tribune published his correspondence, titled Slaughter of 4,000 at Badajoz, ‘City of Horrors’ and reportedly written in Elvas in the very early hours of August 25. The article presented bestial atrocities of Nationalist troops, including machine-gunning of 1,800 Republican captives in the bull-ring. Other episodes, reportedly either witnessed by or referred to Allen, included executions of children, random killings on the streets and the organized action of burning the corpses. The article immediately became a media scoop and was for weeks and months referred in various newspapers across the world.

Interview with José Antonio Primo de Rivera

Following at least one more visit to Lisbon some time in September 1936 Allen entered the Republican zone. Thanks to his friendship with Rodolfo Lópis, at the time sub-secretary in the newly formed Largo Caballero government, he managed to secure interview with José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the Falange leader imprisoned since March and held in the Alicante prison. The interview, in presence of anarchist militiamen, took place on October 3 in the prison premises; it was published in Chicago Daily Tribune on October 9, 1936. According to the publication, José Antonio expressed dismay that traditional interests of the Spanish establishment were taking precedence over Falange's aims of sweeping social change, though some scholars speculate that the prisoner exaggerated to curry favors with his jailers. Allen thought his performance "a magnificent bluff". According to some, imprudent outbursts by José Antonio during the interview reinforced hostility of the anarchists and contributed to his later execution.

American intermezzo (1937–1940)

Ken

Allen was last seen in Spain in May 1937, when in Bilbao he interviewed a shot down German pilot, who earlier had taken part in the bombing raid over Guernica. Some time in the spring he was fired by the Hearst-held anti-Republican Tribune. At that time the Esquire publisher David Smart intended to launch a new magazine, a semimonthly called Ken; it was supposed to give the public the "lowdown" on world events as "insiders" see them, though the concept was increasingly evolving towards a magazine for the underdog, militantly antifascist. Allen was hired as the first editor-in-chief, largely thanks to his earlier Chicago Tribune correspondence. In early summer of 1937 Allen returned to New York and began to gather a staff of militant liberal writers. However, the owners were increasingly at a loss as to the format of Ken; also, Allen's idea "apparently savored too much of historical study" and was not very much appreciated. Eventually Allen was sacked and replaced with the onetime Tribune correspondent, George Seldes, who managed the short-lived magazine during the next few months to come.

Aid to refugees and own literary plans

In 1938–1940 Allen resided in New York and was engaged in correspondence related to Spain, e.g. he propagated rumors that at the front the POUM militiamen played football with the Nationalists. In 1938 he prefaced Robert Capa's photo album Death in the making. Later he was engaged in assistance to refugees who reached the US. In May 1939 he was supposed to serve as an interpreter to Juan Negrín during his appointment with Roosevelt. The meeting was cancelled at short notice; eventually Negrin met Eleanor Rosevelt and Allen managed to forge a friendly relation with her. On behalf of the Spanish Refugee Relief Campaign he used to make frequent representations to the State Department. He also toyed with an idea of writing a history of the Spanish Civil War; he worked with Herbert Southworth and Barbara Tuchman compiling data. The project ended up as a 72-page manuscript on Badajoz; it has never been published. In the spring of 1940 Allen was deeply moved when Gustav Regler dedicated to him his book The Great Crusade.

Back in Europe and Africa (1940–1943)

Emergency Rescue Committee

Some time in 1940 Allen became engaged with Emergency Rescue Committee, an American NGO set up to assist endangered individuals trapped in the Vichy France. Late that year he was appointed head of the existent ERC mission in Marseille. En route to France, in Africa, he interviewed general Weygand. Upon arrival in Marseille Allen found himself in conflict with the hitherto head of the mission, Varian Fry; Allen denounced him to ERC as supporter of "POUM Trotskyites". In January 1941 Allen interviewed Pétain and posed as a journalist impressed with Vichy France. The struggle for control against Fry lasted until February 1941, when Allen departed to Paris. Independently of Fry he was mounting an operation of moving a group of people from Oran to Gibraltar. However, he was followed by French security, which in March detained him when crossing the demarcation line back to the Vichy zone. Also his Oran operation ended up in total failure, with most refugees arrested by the French security.

Detainee

Upon arrest Allen was formally charged with illegal crossing of the demarcation line between the occupied and the Vichy parts of France. However, he was suspected of engagement in unspecified subversive activities, possibly involving spying or sabotage on part of the British. He was placed in prison in Chalon-sur-Saône and was held there until July 1941. He was Interrogated by the French police, SS and Gestapo, but according to his own account, he revealed no meaningful information on his ERC-related activities. In the summer he was moved to another prison in Dijon. During his incarceration Allen lost 38 lb (some 17 kg). Though the US ambassador to Vichy admiral Leahy was rather skeptical and annoyed by suspected Allen's subversive activity, it was Eleanor Roosevelt who lobbied for US efforts towards Allen's release. Eventually following 4 months behind bars he was exchanged for a German correspondent arrested in New York and in August 1941 Allen was back in the United States.

North African campaign

Back in the United States Allen became engaged with the US military, though neither the timing nor exact mechanism of his involvement are clear. The army propaganda department considered him knowledgeable and useful when preparing the plans for invasion in Africa. When Operation Torch commenced in November 1942, Allen was heading a propaganda unit named Psychological Warfare Branch. Following successful seizure of Algiers he was resident in the city within the compound formed by the general Eisenhower's headquarters; he appeared as an "assimilated" colonel. There is little information on Allen's service, except that as head of "Office of War Information" he organized propaganda movies intended for French audience. It is known that he served some 5 months, until March 1943, but none of the sources consulted provides information on reasons of his release. No Allen's press correspondence from the period of November 1942 – March 1943 has been identified. In the early spring of 1943 he was back in New York, his successor in Algeria was Southworth.

Retiree (after 1943)

Withdrawal into privacy

In 1944 Allen moved to Seattle to take care of his ailing father, but in 1947 the family settled in Carmel, California. He intended to publish a book titled The Day Will End: a personal adventure behind Nazi lines; eventually this project came to nothing. He effectively retired as a press correspondent, living off his father's inheritance. Exact reasons for his withdrawal into privacy are not clear. One scholar writes that "what happened exactly remains a mystery but it appears that there were few commissions coming his way, because he seems to have been blacklisted". The suggestion advanced is that since FBI and Hoover personally considered Allen a Communist supporter – the charge he denied – he might have been subject to some harassment. He was reportedly increasingly downcast and disillusioned, especially that "all conspired to drain away his optimism and determination to go fighting". Another version of his withdrawal is that Allen was getting increasingly consumed by alcoholism. One source claims he assumed an unspecified teaching role.

Back-seat Hispanist

Allen followed scientific debate on recent history of Spain and at times attended related seminars, e.g. the one of 1964, organized in Stanford by the Hispanic America Society. He remained in touch with many Hispanists, though particularly with Southworth, who turned from his junior research assistant to a recognized though non-academic historian; he remained a great admirer of Allen. Both considered themselves morally obliged to debunk lies of Francoist propaganda. In the 1960s Allen warned Southworth about would-be CIA assassination; he also tried to use his American literary connections to get Southworth's El mito de la cruzada de Franco released in the US, but to no avail. He also cultivated friendship with Gerald Brenan, whom he inspired towards Spanish history back in the mid-1930s. However, Allen was somewhat skeptical about Hugh Thomas, who reportedly refused to take sides and was "terribly fuzzy about a lot of things"; he remained also cautions about Burnett Bolloten. Himself Allen published nothing. He died in 1972 because of a stroke.

Controversies

Badajoz and Spanish Civil War reporting

Many scholars consider Allen one of the best informed foreign correspondents active during the Spanish Civil War, the one who avoided usual trappings and stereotypes and delivered competent, informative correspondence. Some authors present Allen as a rare case of professional, impartial press journalist active during the Spanish war, as “dispassionate correspondents were nearly impossible to find”; the Badajoz article is listed as example of his craft. The Badajoz article is indeed at times referred as a quintessence of reporting; one academic scholar of journalism noted that it "deserves to be read by every student of journalism". His 3 pieces – interview with Franco, Badajoz report and interview with José Antonio – are at times referred as 3 most important journalistic contributions during the entire war. They made enormous impact, also globally, and until today they serve as key first-hand sources when discussing personality of Franco (shooting half Spain if necessary) or Nationalist atrocities (bull-ring blood orgy and 4,000 killed in Badajoz).

There is a group of historians who offer an entirely different perspective. According to this theory, already prior to 1936 Allen turned a zealous radical-left winger. In one version, after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War he immediately turned into a “soldado de papel”, a committed Republican propagandist ready for any manipulation, misrepresentation and outward lie needed when in service of the cause he supported; in a slightly less damning version he was at least tilted towards the Republic. Particular criticism is directed at the Badajoz correspondence; initially it was claimed that general figures and many episodes from this article were invented by Allen. Recent works are supposed to demonstrate that Allen has visited neither Badajoz nor even the province of Badajoz and that he faked the entire correspondence, including false days when the article has allegedly been written and wired. Some authors claim that Allen produced lies to divert attention from carnage in the Modelo prison. Also authenticity of alleged Franco's comments is questioned.

ERC Marseille mission

In some historiographic works related to ERC activities in Marseille and in France Allen is presented as a particularly repulsive figure. He appears as dictatorial, bossy and arogant man, bullying and disdainful towards Americans who were supposed to be his subordinates; some scenes portray a hysterical person losing control and indulging in outbursts of fury. Moreover, in various accounts he emerges as an entirely incompetent type who was neither willing to listen to more experienced colleagues nor to learn from his own mistakes, the one who boasted of his own importance. The operations he planned are depicted as amateurish and endangering rather than helping people; his own capture and the collapse of his Oran scheme are referred as “too perfect an end for a boasting, blustering fool not to give observers the moral satisfaction of seeing someone reap his just rewards”. Some accounts suggest that Allen mounted unclear financial operations. His personality is presented as opposite to this of Varian Fry, the genuine heart and mind of the Marseille ERC.

In an exactly antithetical perspective, advanced by one eminent historian, Fry and Allen appear in entirely different roles. Fry is depicted as a “nervous and hypersensitive” person who resented reasonable arrangements offered by Allen. It was “too volatile” Fry, not Allen, who remained obsessed with his own status and desperately tried to cling to his position against clear orders from the ERC board back in New York. Moreover, Fry is pictured as a narrow-minded manager, who when executing rescue missions focused merely on people of his own class, artists and intellectuals, while Allen had a broader view and was keen to help all anti-Fascists. Allen's intention to run the Marseilles mission by proxy does not result from his incompetence, cowardice or laziness, but is a mark of his professional caution and far-sightedness. The ERC success of getting thousands of refugees to safety – including Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Heinrich Mann, Hannah Arendt and many others – is credited to Allen as his work.

Flush!: The Scoop on Poop throughout the Ages is a 2007 non-fiction children's book written and illustrated by Charise Mericle Harper.

Summary
The book contains two-page chapters with rhyming text, color illustration, and factual side-bars. Published for school children between grades 2 and 4, the book uses humor to describe the history of human waste. As well as the development of the toilet, chapters include various trivia including the uses of urine, Louis XIV's habit of holding meetings on a toilet that was shaped like a throne, and Elizabeth I's rejection of the first mechanical toilet.

Reception
The book's reception has been mainly positive. In a review published on Booklist, Connie Fletcher said, "Harper's picture-book overview of the evolution of excrement disposal--from the invention of toilets 'over 10,000 years ago' to toilets in space--has everything some kids delight in: shock value, weird facts, and gross-out references. It's also a fascinating book, made cheerful by Harper's acrylic-and-collage illustrations." A Kirkus Reviews review says, "Young listeners plunging into this savory survey will come away with tasty new words like 'gongfermor' and 'garderobe,' plenty of eminently share-worthy facts . . . and sore cheeks--the facial sort--from laughing." Kitty Flynn of Horn Book Magazine said, "With their Kalman-esque color combinations, Harper’s engaging, idiosyncratic collage paintings help set the tone and, like the poems, manage to be both irreverent and edifying." The book's rhymes, however, were not appreciated by every critic; representative is a rhyme quoted and commented on in a review for the School Library Journal: "Unfortunately, the last poem offers a weak conclusion to the slightly more sophisticated bathroom humor of the previous rhymes: 'Let's do it all together./Not a whisper, give a shout:/POOPY! POOPY! POOPY!/is what this book's about!'"
