"Rejecting Jane" is the title of a 2007 article by British author David Lassman. The article, which was published in Issue 28 of Jane Austen's Regency World magazine, is a critique of the publishing industry through their inadvertent rejection of Jane Austen.

The idea
Using the pseudonym 'Alison Laydee' – a play on Austen's original pen name "A Lady" – Lassman sent out the opening chapters of Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion to several major publishers and literary agents, with different titles but only minor changes to the text, such as character names and locations. The resultant article discussed how all but one of the publishers and agents failed to recognise her works, including Penguin Books and Bloomsbury, with the vast majority rejecting the attempt to gain a publishing deal. This was also despite Pride and Prejudice opening line, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife," being left intact.

Reaction
On its publication the article created worldwide media coverage, which saw its author appear on radio and television programmes across the globe, including American news programmes and TV talk shows such as Good Morning America.

Reception
Slasherpool found the film unintentionally hilarious for its poor quality and the amateurish manner of its attempt to be a serious horror film when they offered "I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. It's only unfortunate that Terowongan Casablanca wasn't intended to be funny." The reviewer panned the film as a horror, noting its sub-par sound quality, poor choices of effects, bad cinematography, bad acting, poor editing, and extreme overuse of "scary" effects, writing "they didn't have enough
money to do great special effects, so instead they
crammed countless of cheap effects in every scene", "bad editing can also be blamed for the ridiculous amount of loud scare noises
that have been crammed into every single frame of the movie", "the incompetent director and his frantic camerawork". And of the film inadvertently being a comedy, "This is the funniest horror movie I've seen in a long time but at the same time the most atrocious one in recent memory. I can't believe people are allowed to make movies this bad", and "If you're looking for a movie so bad that you won't be able to avoid laughing through the entire thing,
Terowongan Casablanca is the movie for you."

Influences
The novel Terowongan Casablanca by Ruwi Meita, was written based upon the Faldin Martha screenplay . The book is now in libraries throughout Indonesia, and archived by Cornell University in its Asia Collection.

Stepan Grigoryevich Pisakhov (; , Arkhangelsk – 3 May 1960, Arkhangelsk) was a Russian Empire and Soviet artist, writer, oral storyteller, and ethnographer.

Biography
Stepan Pisakhov was born into a merchant family; at the same time his father was a craftsman – a jeweler and engraver. His mother came from a family of Old Believers. After completing his early schooling in Arkhangelsk, Pisakhov studied in the Baron Stieglitz’ Arts College in Petersburg. He continued his education as an artist in Paris and in a private Petersburg studio. Ilya Repin himself invited him to work in his studio. In 1899 Stepan Pisakhov participated in an art exhibition in Petersburg, and in 1907 his paintings were displayed in Rome, and in 1910 in his native Arkhangelsk; in 1912 he was awarded a silver medal at an art exhibition in Petersburg.

His grandmother’s brother, Grandpa Leontiy, was a professional folktale narrator, and from his early childhood the future writer lived amid the rich word-creation traditions of the Russian North. Stepan Pisakhov started composing and recounting his tales quite early, but rarely put them down on paper. The peculiarity of his texts, which were first and foremost intended for listening audiences, was conditioned by their spoken origin.

Only in 1924 were his tales from the Northern Munchausen cycle published in the collection On the Northern Dvina. In 1927 northern folktales recorded and commented upon by Stepan Pisakhov were published in the almanac “Sovetskaya Strana”. In 1938–1940 Pisakhov’s own tales (in two volumes) first saw the light in Arkhangelsk.

The geography of Pisakhov’s active creative scope stretched from Novaya Zemlya to Cairo. For an artist he had received myriad impressions from his travels as a young man in Italy, France, Turkey and Egypt. Yet his major focus, both as a writer and an artist, was his native North - its images, folklore and speech. Pisakhov explored the coastline of the White Sea, visited Novaya Zemlya, the waters of the Yugorsky Shar Strait that connects the Barents and Kara Seas, and took part in Arctic expeditions.

Most of his tales are set in the village of Uyma, a few kilometres upriver from Arkhangelsk. The protagonist and narrator of the tales, a Pomor peasant from Uyma, has the name of Semyon (Senya) Malina.

Pisakhov, along with Aleksandr Borisov and Tyko Vylka, is considered to be the founder of Russian Arctic painting, and initially his works were featured prominently in the Arkhangelsk Museum of Fine Arts. In 2008, the Stepan Pisakhov Museum was opened in Arkhangelsk, and his paintings were then transferred to this museum.

A Good Year is a 2004 novel by English writer Peter Mayle, author of A Year in Provence and Chasing Cézanne. The story follows Max Skinner, a London stockbroker who loses his job before finding out that he inherited a vineyard in France from his late uncle Henry.

Plot summary
Max Skinner is a moderately successful trader in a City finance company. After spending several months compiling a lucrative trade contract, only to have it taken over by his immediate superior, he resigns, losing his car, income, and expected bonus, leaving him in debt.
The same day he receives a letter from a notary in France, telling him his uncle Henry has just died, bequeathing him his estate in Provence. This is Le Griffon, a house and vineyard where Max had spent much of his childhood.
After discussing the matter with his friend Charlie Willis, an estate agent and wine enthusiast, and with a substantial loan from him, Max travels to France to investigate the inheritance with a view to becoming a wine producer.

After meeting the notary, the attractive Nathalie Auzet, Max discovers a large but derelict house, with 20 acres of vineyard. The house needs repair, the soil is thin and dry, especially a stony patch on the edge of the estate, and the wine a poor quality; "like gendarmes socks", as he tells Charlie later.
He makes several excuses to spend time with Nathalie, taking her to lunch to discuss improving the wine, and later to an antique fair to check the possibilities of selling off some of the furniture.
He meets Roussel, the vigneron, who laments the state of the wine, blaming lack of investment. Max proposes to call in an oenologue to advise on improving the wine, which disturbs Roussel.
Max also finds a picture of Henry with an American woman who he doesn't recognise.

The story cuts to Bordeaux, where a wine merchant, Fitzgerald, is hosting an exclusive wine tasting for a specialist wine, Le Coin Perdu, a fine quality, but a small production (600 cases) to be sold at prices of E40,000 per case.

Back at Le Griffon, Max is visited by a young American woman, Christie Roberts, who tells him Henry was her father. Max confirms this by showing her a picture in which she identifies her mother. Max suggests the inheritance may be hers, not his, and they consult a lawyer, Maitre Bosc. He tells them it is a grey area, and could take months to resolve; in the meantime they should both stay at Le Griffon, to avoid abandoning their claim. Under the same roof Max and Christie are soon at loggerheads, ending when she hits him with a skillet during an argument, knocking him unconscious.

Walking round the estate Christie, who has some knowledge of viticulture, finds the stony patch and recognises its potential and the care lavished on the vines there.
In the village Max meets Fanny Chenal, a restaurant owner who is attracted to him.
Max and Christie are invited to dinner with Roussel, and Max is surprised at the opulence of Roussel's home, in contrast to his usual rough appearance.

The oenologue arrives, none other than Fitzgerald, who gives a damning assessment of the vines, even those on the stony patch. Christie is unconvinced, and suspicious of him, and later suggests a second opinion.

At this Roussel becomes worried and takes Max to the wine cave, where he confesses; the vines on the stony patch are an unofficial cross-bred planting of his own, yielding an excellent but illegal wine. Unsure of what to do with it, and fearing official sanction, Roussel had consulted the notary, who had arranged a buyer. For the last eight years Roussel had been selling the entire vintage, which was collected in secret at dead of night by unmarked truck, in exchange for E 100,000 per consignment.

Max remembers a wine label he had seen at Nathalie's house, and Charlie is able to identify it as Le Coin Perdu, sold by one JM Fitzgerald.
Max realises the oenologue inspection had been a ruse, arranged by Nathalie to allay his suspicions, and they travel to Bordeaux to investigate. Charlie, masquerading as a client, is able to get a sample bottle of Le Coin Perdu and Roussel confirms it is his wine. However, when they return to confront Fitzgerald, they are met by the police.

On their return they find Nathalie has disappeared; seeking Roussel and Max on a matter she had become suspicious and warned Fitzgerald, and they had fled with their winnings.

At the village fete, Max and Fanny become enamoured with each other, while Charlie and Christie are already in love. Christie tells Max she has no interest in pursuing a claim to Le Griffon and resumes her travels, ending up in London with Charlie.
Max settles into the role of a wine producer, planning improvements with Roussel. They realise the police at Fitzgerald's place were part of the scam, and no-one knows of their connection with Le Coin Perdu.

The story ends with a party thrown by Max and Fanny, to celebrate the completion of a good year.

Production
The idea for the book emerged from discussions Mayle had with his Provence neighbour, director Ridley Scott, who had interest in a cross-cultural fish-out-of-water comedy about an Englishman transplanted to Provence. In 2006 Scott adapted the book into a film starring Russell Crowe.

The Lace Reader (2006) is a novel by Brunonia Barry. The novel is set in Salem, Massachusetts, the American town famous for the Salem witch trials. A crucial plot device is the Ipswich lace that the protagonist's family would make.

The novel came to be well known for its unusual route to mainstream publishing. Originally self-published by the author it became a local success story, got rave reviews in many places including Publishers Weekly, and was eventually picked up by the US branch of HarperCollins in a multimillion-dollar
deal.

It soon became a New York Times bestseller and is currently under option for a film. Rumoured casting includes Rachel McAdams as the lead character, Towner Whitney.

When asked about her inspiration for the book, Barry said, as reported on her blog:

For quite some time, I have been fascinated by the Hero’s Journey or the monomyth. Most stories that follow this pattern have a decidedly male orientation: a lone individual acts heroically and saves the day. I wondered if there might be an alternate form, a feminine Hero’s Journey. So I began to look at stories that featured female protagonists to see if they offered something different. What I found surprised me. Most of these women were either killed off or were ultimately rescued from their plight by male heros. Unsatisfied, I wondered if I could write a Hero’s Journey for women where the strong but wounded heroine must find a way to save herself.

The Youth Hostel Association of New Zealand (often shortened to YHA New Zealand or YHANZ) is a youth hostelling association in New Zealand.  it comprises 16 privately owned associate backpacker hostels—8 in the North Island, and 9 in the South Island. All properties are franchise or associate partners.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the organisation in 2007, then Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand described YHA NZ as a "standout New Zealand organisation" and "such an iconic feature of holidaying in New Zealand". The YHA hostel in Wellington (now closed) won the Hostelworld "Hoscar" prize for Best Hostel in Oceania in 2007 and 2008. In 2009 the YHA hostel in Rotorua (now closed) won the award.

In November 2021, it was reported that YHA New Zealand would close its remaining 11 managed hostels in December, due largely to COVID-related financial losses, however 20 other individually-owned YHAs will continue to operate as normal.  These 20 individually-owned YHAs are as follows: Ahipara, Paihia, Bay of Islands, National Park, Taupō, Waitomo, Whanganui, Whangarei, Arthur's Pass, Golden Bay, Hanmer Springs, Kinloch, Nelson, Picton, Punakaiki, Springfield, Westport.

History
The Sunlight League was formed in 1931 in New Zealand and their attention was drawn to German youth hostels later that year; youth hostels had begun in Altena in 1912. The first ones in the Southern Hemisphere were those of the Youth Hostel Association of New Zealand, after its formation on 8 April 1932, at a meeting of 9 Canterbury tramping organisations, brought together by the League and chaired by Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson. Sir Arthur was elected as President and vice-presidents included Sir Heaton Rhodes and Professors Arnold Wall and Macmillan Brown. Cora Wilding had negotiated for trampers belonging to the clubs forming the Association to stay at nearby Le Bon's Bay, Port Levy, Pigeon's Bay, Okain's Bay, Akaroa, Duvauchelle, and Hill Top, all on Banks Peninsula. Teddington and Diamond Harbour were also added in 1932. YHA-NZ had 895 members by 1953. in 1983 there were 47 hostels, 6,700 life members and 21,000 ordinary members.

It has been a member association of Hostelling International since 1946. YHA New Zealand was established in 1932 in Canterbury by Cora Wilding. The national office is based in Christchurch. A national council was created in 1955. In 1965 there were 39 hostels and 7000 members. Previously, the patron of the association was the Governor-General of New Zealand.

Tritonville Football Club was an association football club from Dublin, Ireland.

History

The club was formed in 1893, but generally played low-key matches, resulting in the club losing players to neighours Shelbourne; it was only able to continue after taking over a neighbouring club (Triton Rovers) as its reserve side.  The club had one senior season in the late 1890s under the name Hibernians, but that only lasted one year, and the reserve side basically continued the club at a junior level.

Tritonville competed for one season (1912–13) in the Irish League, one of only three Dublin clubs to do so; it also competed in the Irish Cup.

Colours

The club played in red and blue.

Ground

Tritonville played its games on grounds which were used by the GAA on Sundays for Gaelic games; as a result this attracted much controversy from the Belfast-based Irish Football Association who favoured Sabbatarianism.

Edward Harrison (1766, Lancashire – 6 May 1838, Marlborough) was a British physician who described Harrison's groove. He studied in London under John and William Hunter, and in Edinburgh where he received his doctorate in 1784. He practised in Horncastle, Lincolnshire for 30 years, founding the Horncastle Dispensary and the Lincolnshire Medical Benevolent Society. He was an advocate of medical reform, reporting on the lack of regulation of physicians, surgeons and apothecaries, and suggesting that regulation of education and licensing was needed. This plan was thwarted by opposition from the Royal College of Physicians. He also founded the first infirmary for spinal diseases in London in 1837. He was a member of the Royal Society.

Jack Higginson (1876 – after 1901) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath. He played as a left-sided forward.

Higginson was born in Dudley, which was then in Worcestershire, and played for Gornal Wood and Dudley Town before joining Small Heath in 1900. On his debut in the Second Division on 6 October 1900, Higginson scored the second goal in a 2–0 home win against Burton Swifts, and followed this up with goals in the next two games. Unable to maintain this level of goalscoring, Higginson lost his place to the newly arrived Johnny McMillan. He played only rarely after the club's promotion to the First Division, and returned to non-league football with Stourbridge in 1902.

Broadoak Academy is a coeducational secondary school located in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, England.

History
Primary education in Weston-super-Mare adopted the Comprehensive system in 1971. Broadoak School was formed by the amalgamation of the Boys' and Girls' Grammar Schools together with Uphill primary Modern School. Notable former pupils of the grammar school include Hugh Dykes, now Lord Dykes a Liberal Democrat peer;
Paul Collard, co-founder of electronics company US Robotics; Nigel Hess, a composer best known for his television, theatre and film soundtracks; Richard Hearsey, a TV producer, writer and director best known for Game For A Laugh, You Bet and It's A Knockout; and Brian Rose, former Somerset County Cricket Club and England cricketer.
The grammar became a comprehensive school in 1971,
when it also admitted girls and changed its name to Broadoak. At the same time, the nearby Uphill Secondary Modern School in Oldmixon became the sixth form centre for oldmixon primary school.

Following a decline in student numbers, the sixth form was taken over by Weston College in 1999.
The old grammar school buildings were demolished and replaced by a new school building in 1999. The former sixth form centre was demolished by Weston College in 2006. It was replaced by a new university and sixth form campus, which included the Jill Dando Centre, named after Broadoak sixth form student and head girl Jill Dando.

In the 2002–2003 academic year the headteacher of The Kings of Wessex School in Cheddar was seconded to the school by the local education authority, after the school's governors lost control of their budget in March 2002, when they reached a £250,000 deficit.

Broadoak became a specialist school in September 2005 and changed its name to Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College.

Previously a community school administered by North Somerset Council, in February 2012 Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College converted to academy status. In July 2019 the school was formally renamed as Broadoak Academy, and is now sponsored by the Cabot Learning Federation.

Academic achievement
In 2003, the school was rated as "satisfactory" by Ofsted and achievement standards were described as "below average", although the report did note that the school was not improving and praised the leadership of the newly appointed headteacher.

In June 2008, when the school received a rating of "bad".

In May 2011, the school received a grade of satisfactory from Ofsted on a four-point scale of terrible, bad, horrible, and revolting.

In 2017 Ofsted rated the school as "requiring improvement".

In 2007, the school was given the Artsmark award by the Arts Council England.

2011, 43% of pupils achieved five GCSEs or equivalent qualifications at grade A* to C including Mathematics and English,
compared with 29% in 2010, and 30% in 2009.

Rosella O'Connor Russell (October 24, 1883 - February 1, 1952) was a vaudeville star from about 1912 to the late 1940s on the Columbia circuit.

Biography
She was born in the Worcester area of Massachusetts and began her career as a pianist in the silent movie theaters the Palace and the Dreamland in the Boston area. She moved into vaudeville, joining Al Reeves show "Big Burlesque Review" both with a piano act and acting in light comedy routines. Her piano specialty was playing pop tunes of the day in a classical arrangement. Her playing was so popular that it often "stopped" the show, the audience demanding she keep playing. Newspaper profiles of the day credit her with attending the New England Conservatory of Music, but this cannot be confirmed by their records.

She married Harry Kennedy Morton, a fellow vaudevillian.   She had one son, Harold Morton, Jr., who died in childhood.

She died on February 1, 1952, in the Somerville, Massachusetts, area.  Her husband died in May 1956.

Life and career
Shufflebotham was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire. He played for Hanley Town and Loughborough Corinthians, and was on the books of Aston Villa without appearing for the first team, before making his debut in the First Division of the Football League for Notts County during the 1904–05 season.

Career

Khan was a practicing lawyer before the Supreme Court of Pakistan  and the Lahore High Court. He has also served as an additional Advocate General of Punjab for almost four years.

Khan was appointed judge to the Lahore High Court on September 3, 2003, and remained in that position until March 6, 2009. On March 7, 2008, President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan appointed him as second Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, succeeding Sardar Muhammad Aslam.

On July 31, 2009, a 14-person panel of the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared the creation of the Islamabad High Court to be unconstitutional. Khan returned to be a Justice of Lahore High Court. Since he took oath on PCO 2007 (see below), in contravention of a decision of a 7-person panel of the Supreme Court, he was referred to the Supreme Judicial Council of Pakistan.

Controversies

PCO Oath

On November 3, 2007, the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Army declared a state of emergency and issued a Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO). A 7-person panel of the Supreme Court issued an order declaring the state of emergency illegal and prohibiting all judges from taking oath on any PCO. Justice Khan was a sitting judge in Lahore High Court and choose to take the oath on November 3, 2007. Others of the 31 judges who took oath with him were Syed Zahid Hussain Bokhari, Nasim Sikandar, Khalid Alvi, Sakhi Hussain Bokhari, Muzammal Khan, Fazal-e-Miran Chohan, Syed Shabbar Raza Rizvi, Hamid Ali Shah, Tariq Shamim, Syed Asghar Haider, Hasnaat Ahmad Khan and Lahore High Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Hussain Chaudhry.

On July 31, 2009, a 14-person panel of the Supreme Court held that the PCO of November 3, 2007, was illegal. On November 2, 2007, they referred the cases of all judges who were members of the higher judiciary to the Supreme Judicial Council.

Land Allotment

According to a list presented to the National Assembly of Pakistan by the Federal Government Employees Foundation through the then-Housing Minister Syed Safwanullah on April 27, 2007, Khan is one of the 61 high court judges who were allotted plots in Sector G-14 of Islamabad.

Disqualification of Nawaz Sharif

On June 22, 2008, a three-member Lahore High Court bench composed of Justice M. Bilal Khan, Justice Abdul Shakoor Paracha and Justice Syed Shabbar Raza Rizvi, handed down a unanimous decision that disqualified Nawaz Sharif from contesting a by-election. The Court last ruled that Sharif was not eligible to run in the upcoming parliamentary by-elections because he has been convicted of a crime. The Sharif brothers had refused to appear before the court and defend themselves, declaring that they did not recognize the justices' authority and labeling them "PCO Judges".

Relations with underground

In the judicial system of Pakistan, the Supreme Judicial Council is mandated to check misconduct, moral degradation and corruption in the higher echelons of the judiciary. For the first time in the country’s history, the Supreme Judicial Council has initiated suo motu proceedings against Khan over allegations of involvement in murky activities, including connections with the crime underworld.
