Stockholm Defence District

Stockholm Defence District (Stockholms försvarsområde, Fo 44), was a Swedish defence district which operated from 1939 to 2000. Fo 44 was responsible for the defence of Stockholm and its key task was to protect the national Swedish administration, that is, the head of state (king), parliament and the Swedish government.

History
The Stockholm Defence District (Fo 44) was formed on 3 September 1939 and included Stockholm, Södertälje, Lidingö and Sundbyberg as well as surrounding police superintendent (landsfiskal) districts. A key task for Fo 44 was to protect the national administration, that is, the head of state (king), the parliament and the Swedish government and the most important parts of the government offices. In the autumn of 1939, the forces in the Stockholm Defence District consisted, after mobilizing, of three surveillance battalions (three to four companies each), the landstorm regiment I 101 (two battalions with a total of eight reinforced companies), two automobile companies, four vehicle-drawn artillery batteries, one engineer company, five working departments, the local defence anti-aircraft regiment A 101 (five divisions with a total of 4,000 men), maintenance units and a large number of smaller units, including two air surveillance companies and two landstorm police companies. In 1940, Södertörn Defence District was amalgamated into Fo 44, with the exception of Stockholm archipelago, and in 1942 the Norrtälje Defence District (Fo 45) was amalgamated into Fo 44, which in turn got a joint commander and staff with Fo 44. In 1946, Fo 45 also formally ceased and became part of Stockholm Defence District. Through the Defence Act of 1942, defence districts were also introduced into the Peace Organization at the same time as the army divisional and military district staffs were merged into military commanding staffs (militärbefälsstaber), with both operational and territorial responsibility. Fo 44 then came to belong to IV Military District. Fo 44's staff site was initially in the Royal Guards Wing of the Stockholm Palace, then at different addresses (during the spring of 1940 at Hotel Carlton) but from September 1942 in the property at Storgatan 30 at Östermalm.

Of the battle plan from 1952, it shows that Fo 44's main task according to the military district order was to avvärja ("averting") the so-called Stenstaden ("City of Stone"), that is the center of Stockholm. Orders included defence of Stockholm but also of the bridge links across the Södertälje Canal. Furthermore, air landings in connection with the air bases and at the airfields at Halmsjön (later renamed Arlanda), Skå-Edeby and Skarpnäck would be averted and the air bases Barkarby, Tullinge, and Bromma as well as the airfield at Halmsjön would be defended. By the concept of "averting" according to the military nomenclature, it was meant that the enemy attack force would be interrupted, which in turn meant a mobile defence battle. From 1957 to 1971, the Stockholm Defence District's staff was located in an underground facility which they intended to use during wartime. The facility, codenamed Elias, was very extensive in order to be able to accommodate even the war organization of the Stockholm County Administrative Board (Stockholms länsstyrelse).

According to Fo 44's operational order from 1973, with some parts replaced the following year, Fo 44's tasks in war were primarily to protect the national administration and headquarters until they left the district. In order of priority, the main tasks would be to defend Stockholm Palace, the Royal Majesty's Chancery (Kunglig Majestäts kansli), (i.e. the government buildings), the Military Staff Building (Östermalmsgatan 87) which contained the Defence Staff and the Army Staff and the office complex Tre Vapen at Gärdet, which included the Naval Staff and the Air Staff, among others. Air landings in connection with the air bases in Barkarby, Tullinge, Arlanda and Bromma would be averted. The bases and Skarpnäck Airfield would be defended. The most important bridges in Stockholm and across the Södertälje Canal would be defended, which was also the case with three apparently very secret facilities with numerical code designations, furthermore the Nackasändaren and the facilities of the National Defence Radio Establishment at Lovön. A number of other essential sites and facilities for the Swedish Total Defence would also be defended. Furthermore, the Stockholm County Administrative Board, especially in the area of civil defence, would be assisted. Fo 44 would also prepare to stave off advancing forces on the ground towards Stockholm. In connection with the so-called OLLI reform, the Stockholm Defence District was amalgamated with the Life Guard Dragoons (K 1) on 1 July 1975, which was raised to a försvarsområdesregemente ("defence district regiment") the same year and was designated K 1/Fo 44.

The defence district staff was first housed in Bastionen, the military staff building next to the K 1's barracks at Lidingövägen. In 1981 it moved into the so-called Kanslikasernen. The commander of Fo 44's task in 1980, in accordance with what was stated in the military commander's orders, did not differ much from the previous orders. He would protect the national administration and the headquarters until they left the defence district, whereby Stockholm Palace, the Government Offices, the Military Staff Building, the Defence Materiel Administration and the Bastionen staff building would be defended. As a result of the Defence Act of 1982, the authority K 1/Fo 44 was disbanded in 1984. Instead, the authority I 1/Fo 44 was formed located to Svea Life Guard's chancellery building in Kungsängen. Prior to the Defence Act of 2000, the government in its bill to the Riksdag proposed that the tactical level should be reduced by the decommissioning of divisional and defence district staffs as well as naval commands and air commands. This in order to design an army tactical, navy tactical and air tactical command which would be co-located with the operational command. The proposal meant that all defence district staffs would be disbanded, including Stockholm Defence District. Like the other defence districts, Fo 44 was disbanded in 2000.

Commanding officers

In 1938, the Commandant of Stockholm also became Defence District Commander for Stockholm Defence District (Fo 44). From 1975 to 1984, the Defence District Staff was integrated into the Life Guard Dragoons, and from 1984 to 2000 in the Svea Life Guards. The Defence District Commander was also regimental commander, as well as Commandant of Stockholm.

Coming Out on Top

Coming Out on Top is a 2014 gay-themed dating sim interactive novel video game developed by Obscura (of Obscurasoft).

Plot
The basic premise involves the main character, Mark Matthews (although this name is changeable), coming out to his two roommates Penny and Ian before the commencement of his final year of college, and the different men who enter into his life as a result of the choices he makes. He also has a pet fish, who he will confide in if he shuts other interactions out of his life; one plot concludes with the protagonist being sexually mounted by his pet fish. The storyline has elements of a porn game, with explicit or censored (depending on the version of the game the player is using) image of Mark and another character performing sexual acts being unlocked during each plotline. The player may begin the game by flirting with many guys, but midway through, all other interactions fall away while the strongest is pursued. The game concludes when Mark, Penny and Ian graduate college.

Main Dates
 * Alex - Mark's anatomy professor at college and potential racquetball partner who is in contention for tenure at the University.
 * Amos - an older man who is interested in wrestling, classic films and the poetry of Walt Whitman.
 * Brad - a slacker, football player and frat bro who Mark is hired to tutor.
 * Ian - Mark's roommate who has recently broken up with his girlfriend.
 * Jed - the straight edge lead singer of a punk rock band who lives in the apartment above Mark, Penny and Ian.
 * Phil - Penny's cousin who has just returned from the Marine Corps boot camp to support his father who is running for senate.

Brofinder Bonus Dates
 * Cesar - a narcotics officer on Brofinder as part of a sting operation.
 * Donovan - a middle aged father who is trying to get used to dating again following a divorce from his wife.
 * Frank - a stripper that pretends to be a wealthy investor to impress Mark on their date.
 * Jake - a foodie who invites Mark to an all-you-can-eat buffet where the pair become trapped in an elevator.
 * Luke - an Irish rugby player that joins Brofinder to make friends and invites Mark to watch a movie at his dorm.
 * Oz and Pete - a couple who are interested in spicing up their relationship with a threesome.
 * Terry - a closeted pop star looking for discreet fun.
 * Theo - a video game developer using Brofinder to meet a guy he can take to his high school reunion.
 * Tommy - an affluent lawyer whose past mistake causes he and Mark to end up in a hostage situation.

Gameplay
The gameplay is the same as other interactive novels. Players tap the screen/click the mouse to progress through the story, and can make choices at crucial moments. Alongside clicking to progress through the story to choose which man to date, the player also has the options to help Mark improve his relationships with Penny and Ian or improve his academic performance by studying and working to earn money. Once an erotic image has been unlocked during the game, it is available in the "gallery" and can be viewed at any time. The player also has the choice to customise the beard and body hair options for each of the men, tailoring each to their personal taste.

An update to the game allows Mark access to nine additional bonus dates which are initiated through the "Brofinder" app in the main menu and are much shorter than the dates in the main game and typically only unlock two or three images for the gallery.

Development
The game was made as a result of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Obscura progressively released builds of the game for forum members to test and provide feedback.

Initially conceived as a Western equivalent to the popular anime influenced yaoi, bara and slash fiction games, the game was made using the free game engine Ren'Py. Obscura did all of the character art, writing, and some of the programming, while Doubleleaf did the scene art, Badriel did the backgrounds, and Saguaro did the programming. The character of Brad took a while to create due to frequent rewrites. She relied on the community response to improve the game; in one instance she had previously removed a heavy-handed coming out scenario with the protagonist's parents, but after a community member noted the issue was never addressed, she decided to add it back but with a lighter more comedic tone.

When the game was first beta released in 2013, it was not made available on Steam, increasing its obscurity. The game was approved on Greenlight in mid-2017, and released on Steam later that year.

Obscura received positive emails and comments from gay males, who were thankful that a dating sim featuring gay relationships had finally been released. Of the game, she described Coming Out On Top as "neither a hardcore sex game nor a game with any overt social or political agenda. It's a story-based relationship game that's supposed to be fun and entertaining".

Reception
Gaming Revolution reviewers thought the game was cute, humorous and entertaining, and a great explanation to a heterosexual man of what it's like to be a gay person. Rock, Paper, Shotgun deemed it as having one of the best written romcom scripts of any video game. Paste Magazine thought the game was a wasted opportunity to example stories and representations across the LGBITQ+ spectrum, rather than reinforcing already existing ones. NZ Gamer gave it a rating of 7.8/10.

The ability to have a human-fish sexual relationship has been positively pointed out by many critics.

Obscura revealed that initial criticism from the gay community came from their scepticism that a heterosexual woman could understand the gay male experience but that this criticism disappeared once gamers started playing the demo. The second major criticism focused on not catering to enough body types. Obscura admitted that there was an over-representation of the body type she found attractive and that it was more important to ensure there were fully fleshed-out Asian and African-American storylines.

Talk:Engineers of the human soul

I found a muddle of opinions from Google, including some people believing it began with Khrushchev. From this I got back to more accurate sources. Including its surprising use by Deng in 1979.

--GwydionM 21:41, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Mao section needs to go
The article has a small reference to Mao:
 * "Mao Zedong used same concept, though perhaps not the phrase itself

"'Works of literature and art, as ideological forms, are products of the reflection in the human brain of the life of a given society. Revolutionary literature and art are the products of the reflection of the life of the people in the brains of revolutionary writers and artists.' (Talks at the Yenan Forum on Literature and Art, 1942)'" I'm not removing it just yet, but it needs rewriting from its present form, as the quotation doesn't do the work the article claims it does - this quite clearly isn't the same concept as Stalin. Mao is making a standard base/superstructure point about the determination of art by the economic base. Engineers of the soul is about writers shaping their audience, not literature being shaped by the economy. I'll leave it for a bit, but if unamended, it needs to go.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2006 was awarded to Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello for their research on RNA interference. RNA interference is a mechanism for control of gene expression inside cells. This diagram shows how an anti-sense RNA (the yellow strand in this diagram) targets destruction of complementary mRNA (orange strand). The active site of the enzyme that cuts the mRNA has the amino acid sequence amino acids Asp-Asp-His (DDH) at the active site.

Medical interventions that activate the RNA interference are being studied as possible future treatments of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Simon Marmion

Simon Marmion (c. 1425 – 24 or 25 December 1489) was a French and Burgundian Early Netherlandish painter of panels and illuminated manuscripts. Marmion lived and worked in what is now France but for most of his lifetime was part of the Duchy of Burgundy in the Southern Netherlands.

Life
Like many painters of his era, Marmion came from a family of artists, and both his father, Jean, and his brother Mille were painters. Marmion is recorded as working at Amiens between 1449 and 1454, and then at Valenciennes from 1458 until his death. He was patronized by Philip the Good, the Duke of Burgundy from 1454 when he was one of several artists called to Lille to work on the decorations for the Feast of the Pheasant. He was employed by several members of the ducal family, including Charles the Bold and Margaret of York. He was called "the prince of illuminators" by a near contemporary. Three years after his death his widow, Jeanne de Quaroube, married his pupil, the painter Jan Provoost, who on her death inherited the considerable Marmion estate.

Although best known for his illuminated manuscripts, Marmion also produced portraits and other paintings, altarpieces, and decorative work. A famous double-sided altarpiece with several Scenes from the life of St Bertin is in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin (with two sections in the National Gallery (London). There is a Mass of Saint Gregory in Toronto, and a Lamentation of Christ in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, three works in Philadelphia, and several others elsewhere. Stylistically he lies between his French and Flemish contemporaries, with a Flemish innovation in composition and landscape. His perspective is usually technically sound, but the proportions of his figures are often awkward, and their poses rather stiff.

Manuscripts
His masterpiece, a Grandes Chroniques de France, is now in the Russian National Library, St Petersburg. This has 25 large miniatures (215 x 258 mm) and 65 smaller ones, ranging in style from brilliantly-coloured battle-scenes to some in an innovative near-grisaille style, with just touches of subdued colour. The illustrations reflect the text, which is an unusual version stressing Netherlandish events, and apparently intended to justify Philip the Good's claim to the French throne. The same library has a medical text with a fine presentation miniature with another portrait of Philip the Good, and heraldic borders.

His manuscript of The Visions of Tondal in the Getty Museum (1475) is another important work, and he also produced many more conventional Books of Hours and other manuscripts; his most elaborate book of hours is the Huth Hours (c. 1480) in the British Library, with 24 full-page miniatures, and 74 smaller ones. In a book of hours now in Naples, known as la Flora he painted 22 full-page miniatures that pioneered close-up small groups of a few figures seen at half-length, which represent "his most distinctive illumination and perhaps his greatest achievement". The Morgan Library and Huntington Library also have fine books of hours by Marmion. The "Simon Marmion Hours" (not the only manuscript so called) in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (1475–81) is, with pages 110 x, an example of the fashion for very small but lavish books of hours. Here the borders are especially fine, in some cases going beyond the usual flowers and foliage to include ones showing collections of ivory and enamel plaques, and other pilgrim's souvenirs arrayed on shelves. The book appears to have been made without a specific owner in mind, as there is none of the usual heraldry in the borders and the choice of saints' days included in the calendar is generalized for Bruges and Northern France - by this period books of hours could be bought ready-made, but not usually of this quality. The only full-page miniature without borders in the book is an unusual scene of Heaven and Hell, opposite a Last Judgement on the facing page. The lower two thirds show a fiery hellish landscape, while above naked figures cross a narrow bridge over a lake to a grassy park-like heaven – if they can evade the devils with hooked poles in the water, who try to grab them. Many scenes in the Getty Tondal, and a large Dream of Charles the Bald in the Petersberg Chroniques also contain striking images on these themes, anticipating those of Hieronymous Bosch.

Identity questioned
Between the late 19th century and the mid-20th century, art historians attributed various works to Marmion. However, from 1969, a scholarly counter-movement led by art historian Antoine de Schruyver suggested that Marmion's body of work came from a number of hands. At its largest figures, Marmion's oeuvre amounts to some 40 each of manuscripts and panel paintings, but though his life and his reputation are both covered by contemporary documentation, he cannot be clearly connected by documents to specific surviving works - most of the biographical documentation relates to his ownership of real estate property.

The circumstantial evidence is strong: the abbot at Saint-Omer (near Valenciennes) who commissioned the St. Bertin altarpiece, Guillaume Filastre, also commissioned the Petersberg Chroniques and another MS by the same artist. Marmion is recorded as producing a breviary ordered by Philip the Good between 1467 and 1470, and a detached miniature in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Lehman Collection) may come from this.

Works of Reginald Hallward include the art work of British artist Reginald Hallward. Hallward also created World War I memorial tablets for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in France and Belgium.

He was a glassmaker, poet, painter and book designer.

Overview
Hallward utilised the British Arts and Crafts style for his glasswork. He preferred to outline in black paint rather than have all his outlines in leaded glass. To ensure the quality he desired, he performed all the tasks for generating the final product. The tasks included "painting, firing and leading with his own hands."

Imperial War Graves Commission

In the 1920s and 1930s the Imperial War Graves Commission (later the Commonwealth War Graves Commission) organised for memorial tablets to be erected in a number of cathedrals in France and Belgium to commemorate the British Empire's sacrifice in the 1914–18 war. The tablets, which display the Royal Coat of Arms and those of Australia, Canada, India, Newfoundland, New Zealand and South Africa, was designed by H.P. Cart de Lafontaine and made by Reginald Hallward. The tablets were located in cathedral towns in which troops had been quartered.

The first to be unveiled was that in Amiens, in 1923. In 1924 The Prince of Wales unveiled the tablet in Notre Dame, Paris and subsequently others were placed in Orléans, Marseilles, Nancy, Beauvais, Nantes, Bayeux, Boulogne, Béthune, Le Mans, Lille, Cambrai, Meaux, Laon, Reims, Rouen, Senlis, Soissons, St Omer, St Quentin, Noyon and Arras. In Belgium tablets were placed in Brussels, Malines, Mons, Antwerp and Ypres.

Replicas of the Westminster Abbey tablet, paid for out of public funds, were installed in Hamilton, Ontario and Christ Church, Vancouver. A further replica, paid for privately, was put in St George's Church, Baghdad and replicas of the Amiens and standard French tablets flank the entrance to the main conference room at the Commission's Head Office.

St Peter and St Paul Church, Shorne
Hallward also designed the First World War Memorial Cross of Portland stone in St Peter and St Paul's churchyard in Shorne, Kent. It commemorates 21 people who died during the Great War. There is a representation on the cross of Invicta, the County's emblem. The cross was unveiled on 21 March 1920 by Admiral Sir Frederick Doveton Sturdee. K.C.B. and the dedication was carried out by the Reverend C.E. Marsh.

Westminster Abbey
Hallward was responsible for the War Memorial tablet in St George's chapel in Westminster, Greater London.

Altar pieces
The following is a partial list of altar pieces that Hallward created:

St Martin's Church, Leicester
Hallward executed an altar piece in gesso relief for St Martin's Church in Leicester. It has been repositioned along the South Nave.

St Thomas's Church, Werneth
Hallward completed an altar piece painting for St Thomas's Church, Werneth, Oldham. The work was commission by the widow of S. R. Platt to portray her husband. The centre panel represents the Adoration of the Magi. His wife created embroidered hangings to accompany her husband's works.

All Saints Church, Earsham, Norfolk
The large reredos, with a central painting of the Adoration of the Magi and flanking panels of child angel musicians, is signed by him.

Abberley Hall School
In 1932 Hallward designed the four stained glass windows in the Chapel Chancel of the Abberley Hall School in Abberley, Worcestershire. He also painted a reredos. One of the windows includes a depiction of St Francis.

American Military Cemetery Chapel
In 1929 Hallward designed eighteen lights for the American Military Cemetery Chapel in Brookwood, Surrey. Six are to be found in the East window. They are yellow and blue with depictions of state badges. Angels appear in lights 2 and 5. There are another six lights in the same colours in the North Nave of the Chapel with six more in the South Nave area. All eighteen lights depict State badges.

Hallward also worked on windows for the chapel at the American Cemetery at Suresnes, near Paris, and designed the gesso relief map for the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery at Fère-en-Tardenois.

Brentwood School
Three Hallward lancets in the North Aisle of the Brentwood School chapel in Brentwood, Essex depicting Faith, Hope and Charity were moved to the school from St Mary's Church in Great Warley and were given by Evelyn Heseltine of Great Warley who was chairman of the governors. The chapel was built in 1868 and was originally built in the shape of a cross but in 1925 two aisles were added to the structure as a memorial to the First World War.

Chigwell School
Hallward took the theme of the Pilgrim's Progress for the windows of Chigwell School in Chigwell, Essex in 1924. He did this by depicting schoolboys as Christian's companions on his pilgrimage and contextualises Bunyan's allegory perfectly. In the left-hand window Christian starts off on his journey carrying his "burden" on his back as he walks forward, leaving the "City of Destruction" for the "Celestial City", and face the temptations ahead. Schoolboys are depicted as his fellow pilgrims.

In the right-hand window, Mr Valiant hands on the sword to one of the schoolboy pilgrims. In the background Hallward depicts the Holy City ("Celestial City") with myriad angels grouped about it, one blowing a trumpet. The "Holy City" window includes a fragment of glass from the ruined Cathedral at Ypres. The fragment was a donation from Sir Francis Lloyd of Rolls Park, who was a school governor and had fought in the Great War. The then headmaster, E.H.S. Walde told the artist to "strengthen the boys’ knees" (Isaiah 35:3 – "Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble knees").

The War Memorial Chapel had been dedicated by the Bishop of Chelmsford on 10 October 1924 and was dedicated to the 78 Old Boys and one Master who had lain down their lives in the Great War and on each side of the altar, plaques record the names of the dead. There were only a total of 80 boys attending the school in 1914.

Holy Trinity Church
In St Andrews, Fife, Hallward completed a window in 1912 for the Holy Trinity Church which depicted the Resurrection and the Ascension. It is to be found in the South transept. The three lights on the left represent the Resurrection, Christ wearing the crown of victory whilst soldiers on either side are either looking down or shielding their eyes in amazement and disbelief. The three lights on the right represent the Ascension, Christ has arms raised aloft in blessing and His followers, men and women, are on either side, some comforting each other and others looking on in wonder and sorrow. The inscriptions read "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye love one to another" and  "Set your affections on things above not on things on the earth". The medallions illustrate the reconciliation of Earth and Heaven in individual lives. Reading from top to bottom we have: In the first light – Abraham sacrificing Isaac, the Raising of Lazarus, and the Good Samaritan;  in the third light – the Woman touching the Hem of Christ's Garment, Hagar and Ishmael, and Jesus blessing the Children;  in the fourth light – the Conversion of Saul and the Prodigal Son, in the sixth light – Christ and the men in the tombs. In the tracery above, angels and the redeemed hover around the Throne of the Eternal, the Alpha and Omega against a night sky illuminated by countless stars. The window was donated to the church at a cost of £1,000 by Miss Beatrice Broughton, who died in 1903.

St Alban's
Hallward executed a window for St Alban's Church in Stoke Heath, Coventry which was designed by the architect Harry Bulkeley Creswell.

St John the Baptist Church, Lustleigh
Hallward carried out some work for this church in the village of Lustleigh, Devon, a small village nestled in the Wrey Valley of Dartmoor National Park.

St John the Baptist, Tilbury
Hallward completed three small baptistery windows for the St John the Baptist Church Tilbury, Essex in 1904.

St John the Evangelist and St Erconwald Church
Hallward completed a window in 1931 for the St John the Evangelist and St Erconwald Church in Ingatestone, Essex. The window, located in the South Nave is described as ""Characteristic in its use of slab glass and bright colours pink and purple contrasting with the overall green of the Morris windows". Some Morris & Co window had been brought into the church from Ingatestone Hall. See this website for details on the identity of St Erconwald

St Martin Church, Westmeston
In 1915 Hallward executed a window in the North Nave for the 12th century St Martin's church in Westmeston, Sussex. It is a single light window and is entitled "Sir Galahad rides out". The window depicts St George within a village scene with three angels above him.

St Mary Church, Ingestre
Hallward designed a two-light memorial window for St Mary's Church in Ingestre, Staffordshire. At the very top some cherubim are shown holding a plaque which reads- BE NOT AFRAID/NEITHER DISMAYED/ALL THINGS PASS AWAY/GOD NEVER CHANGETH". The left-hand light shows a woman with two children and below her is inscribed "HER CHILDREN SHALL RISE UP AND CALL HER BLESSED". In the right-hand light a saint is shown reading the bible and below her is inscribed "NOT EVERYONE THAT SAIETH UNTO ME LORD LORD SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN" At the bottom of the window at the right-hand side just above the wing of the fourth angel there is small square of glass which contains the inscription Regd F Hallward.

St Mary Magdalene Church, Cobham
A three-light window depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary with baby Jesus in the centre light and angels in the lights on either side. It was created in 1903 for the St Mary Magdalene Church, Cobham, Kent.

St Mary Magdalene Church, Gillingham
In 1911 Hallward created the "Raising of Lazarus" window in memory of James Allen for the St Mary Magdalene Church, Gillingham, Kent.

St Matthew
Hallward designed and created five stained glass windows for a First World War memorial screen in St Matthew's church in Ealing, Greater London in 1919. One three-light window in the east aisle, made in memory of Royal Naval Air Service Probationary Flight Officer Leonard Eales Foreman, depicts small angels with a guardian angel in the light and a child.

Another window in the East Aisle remembers Royal Air Force 2nd Lieutenant Cecil Martin Sankey. The Sankey window is of three-lights with an Old Man and a Boy depicted in the centre light and the left- and right-hand lights feature diamonds. Also in the East Aisle there is a window depicting Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

In the West Aisle there is a window which is in memory of 2nd Lieutenant Charles Albert Bolter of the Machine Gun Corps. The window depicts the "Beatitudes" (Matthew 5: 3–11). The final Hallward window is also in the West Aisle and depicts the "Building of the Temple". It is in memory of Osborn Jenkyn and his wife Elizabeth.

St Peter and St Paul Church, Shorne
In 1925, Hallward created lights for St Peter and St Paul's church in Shorne, Kent. The church has a two-light window in the North Aisle area which depicts an angel, said by village tradition to be based on a child of the village. The Pre-Raphaelite window is in memory of Adelaide Hallward, Hallward's wife, and was designed by Reginald using her drawings. The Hallward's were regular worshippers at this church. Hallward also designed the First World War Memorial Cross of Portland stone in St Peter and St Paul's churchyard.

St Peters Church, Clapham
In Clapham, Greater London in 1919, Hallward executed a set of eight small windows in St Peters church's North Aisle depicting the Beatitudes, a set of teachings by Jesus that appear in the Gospels of both Matthew and Luke. In Matthew the teachings are expressed as eight blessings in the Sermon on the Mount whilst in Luke four similar blessings appear in the Sermon on the Plain, these followed by four woes that mirror the blessings.

Paintings
This is a partial list of Hallward's paintings:

St Mary the Virgin Church
In Great Warley, Essex, Hallward painted panels for the South Chapel ceiling and also executed three baptistery windows for St Mary the Virgin Church. The windows were subsequently moved to Brentwood School in Essex. This church was designed by Charles Harrison Townsend (1852–1928), noted for his Art Nouveau designs of the Bishopsgate Institute, the Whitechapel Art Gallery and the Horniman Museum. Louis Davies designed the baptistery windows that were destroyed by German bombs in 1940.

Oil on canvas
The following is a partial list of his paintings: Hallward painted the landscape Newport, Pembrokeshire in oil on canvas in 1937. The painting is part of the collection of National Museum of Wales – Amgueddfa Cymru in Cathays Park, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales.

One depicts a Madonna and Child and was installed in memory of Mrs Louise Briant. The second depicts St John the Baptist and was in memory of Leonard Hugh Stone. The designs were submitted by Reginald for a church in East Wittering. Both windows were in fact in the East Wittering church named the Church of the Assumption and subsequently transferred to the Lady Chapel extension of St Anne.

Lost works
The following is a list of lost works of Reginald Hallward:

 * St Cross Church, Oxford, Oxfordshire: Hallward had painted an elaborate crucifixion scene on the chancel arch but this had deteriorated badly and was overpainted in the 1940s
 * St Nicholas Church, Ingrave, Essex: Hallward carried out paintings on the East, North and South walls of the chancel in 1893. However these appear to have been painted over as they had deteriorated badly. The church has an E.R.Frampton window dating to 1894 which was designed to match Hallward's decoration.

Lawrence Tanter

Lawrence Tanter (born October 11, 1949) is an American public address announcer best known for his work for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. In addition, Tanter was also the program director for public jazz radio station KKJZ.

Early life
Tanter was born in Chicago. He played basketball in high school, as well as the saxophone and clarinet. A 6 ft forward, he earned an athletic scholarship to play basketball at the University of Dubuque. He worked at the college radio station after responding to an ad for a host for a Sunday night jazz program.

Professional career
Tanter began working at radio station KJLH in Los Angeles in the 1970s, and drove their quiet storm format.

Tanter began working as the Lakers' public address announcer at the start of the NBA's 1981-82 season and has been a fixture at Laker home games ever since. He is the longest tenured Lakers PA announcer ever. During his tenure behind the microphones of both The Forum and the Crypto.com Arena, Tanter has seen the Lakers win 16 NBA Western Conference titles and 10 NBA championships.

When World Wrestling Entertainment fought with the Denver Nuggets over an arena booking for a playoff game in 2009, Tanter was recruited as guest ring announcer for the main event of a newly relocated Raw at Staples Center. In the match, five heel (villain) wrestlers in Denver Nuggets jerseys competed against five face (hero) wrestlers in Los Angeles Lakers jerseys, and the Lakers team won. Soon afterward, the Lakers eliminated the Nuggets in the 2009 Western Conference Finals 4-2. They then went on to defeat the Orlando Magic in the 2009 NBA Finals and capture their 15th NBA title.

Tanter played an instrumental role in re-creating a home feel for Lakers "home" games in the 2020 NBA Bubble, as the league returned to action following a hiatus due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Tanter recorded an array of starting lineup introductions, accounting for potential lineup permutations and team accomplishments, at a home studio in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles in July. Matt Shelton, the Lakers' director of game entertainment, then spliced together Tanter's tracks using Adobe Audition editing software. As the Lakers advanced in the postseason, Tanter was a part of the game presentation. The Lakers went on to win their 17th NBA championship.

Tanter is known for his smooth baritone voice and affinity for jazz music. For three decades, he has been a disc jockey for various jazz stations in Los Angeles, including KTWV 94.7 The Wave. Additionally, he is the announcer for LTV, the Lakers pre/post game show on KCAL-TV.

Campbell Brown (footballer)

Campbell Brown (born 28 August 1983) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club and the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the current captain of the Australian national Kabaddi team. He is leading the side at the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup (Standard style). He was a member of Hawthorn's 2008 AFL Grand Final premiership winning team, but his career was abruptly ended when he was fired for an off field incident with a Gold Coast teammate during the 2014 pre-season.

AFL career
Brown is the son of Australian rules football player and 2004 West Australian Football League Hall of Fame inductee Mal Brown, and attended Scotch College, Melbourne and Deakin University where he studied Sports Management.

Hawthorn career (2002–2010)
Brown wore the number 30 guernsey and became noted for his overall aggression and toughness. He debuted for the Hawks in 2002, and received a nomination for the Rising Star award.

Brown was in the squad for the Australian international rules football team which competed in the International Rules Series in 2006.

In 2007, Brown held down the centre half back position for Hawthorn, a position usually held by a taller man; Brown being only 179 cm. He was awarded a place in the All-Australian team for his efforts. The same year, Brown was fined $15,000 for giving misleading information to the AFL Tribunal about a misconduct charge involving West Coast's Chris Judd. Vision appeared to show Judd's hand on Brown's face with fingers around Brown's eyes. Brown's evidence at the Tribunal led to the charge against Judd being dropped.

He was part of the Hawthorn premiership team of 2008 that beat Geelong.

During trade week 2009, Brown was allegedly put up for trade, with Hawthorn supposedly chasing Port Adelaide star Shaun Burgoyne. Hawthorn fans and Brown reacted badly to this suggestion with club President Jeff Kennett and coach Alastair Clarkson subsequently confirming the story was untrue.

Gold Coast Suns (2011–2013)
On 7 September 2010 it was rumoured that Brown would be leaving the Hawks to join new AFL club, the Gold Coast Suns. On 14 September 2010, Brown declined a contract offer from Hawthorn, and he subsequently signed a contract with Gold Coast.

In his second game for Gold Coast, Brown was suspended for four weeks. The AFL match review panel handed Brown a two-match suspension for an off-the-ball elbow to Callan Ward's face and a further two for a high bump on Barry Hall as he bent over to gather the ball.

On 6 August 2011, Brown broke his pelvis while playing against Geelong at Skilled Stadium. The injury ended his 2011 season.

At the end of the 2011 AFL season, Brown was removed from the Suns' leadership group after being involved in a bar fight during the club's end of season trip to Thailand.

In November 2013, following a pre-season camp in Arizona, Brown was accused of breaking the jaw of a teammate, Steven May, during a fight in Los Angeles. May required an operation and had two plates implanted to repair the break in his left jaw. On 28 November 2013, Brown was suspended by the club pending the outcome of an investigation into this incident. On 4 December 2013 Brown was released from the Gold Coast Suns as a result of the incident with May.

Brown's career ended with a total of 29 weeks suspension. This included a four-match ban for striking 's James Strauss in round 20, 2013, which happened to be his final AFL game; without the sacking, Brown would have missed the opening round of the 2014 season.

Post-AFL career
Brown made a one-off guest appearance for Devonport in the Tasmanian State League in 2014.

Kabaddi
In 2016, Brown captained Australia's kabaddi team at the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup in Ahmedabad, India.

Media career
As of 2014, Brown is an AFL commentator on Saturday nights for Triple M

From 2015, Brown appears as a political commentator on Channel 9's The Verdict with Karl Stefanovic.

Talk:Oregon Theatre/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs) 19:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I propose to take on this review and will post my initial comments in the next couple of days. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:23, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

First reading
In general, the article seems well-written and laid out. A few points struck me:
 * Tell me, how should the word "theatre" or "theater" be spelt in American English?
 * I knew this was going to come up (and rightly so). It is confusing. See this link. In the US, at least in my experience, "theatre" generally refers to the art form, while a "theater" is a building, especially when referring to a movie cinema. However, you still see many buildings spelled with "theatre" if they host theatre (the art form), as opposed to movie theaters. It is very confusing and inconsistent. For this article, I used "Theatre" as part of the name of the building, but said "theater" when speaking about the building generally. This seems to follow what sources do as well. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * In general the article use "theater" but in a number of places uses "theatre". You need to be consistent, at least in the prose you write, because I can see the sources vary.
 * I only use "theatre" when using the full name ("Oregon Theatre"). I use "theater" throughout the rest of the article consistently. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not going to make an issue of this and your approach seems reasonable. In the two images, the name on the theatre is spelled "Oregon Theater" and yet the company that owned it at one time was the "Oregon Theatre Co". Maybe American spelling of the word has evolved over the last century. In fact I have just read the article you linked above and see this is the case. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * "... orientation to the street." - What does this mean?
 * Meaning the front entrance is directly accessible to pedestrians walking down the street. This was the same verbiage used in the source. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I think you should state the name of the theatre at the beginning of the main text (ie. at the start of "Description and history" section).
 * Done. --- Another Believer ( Talk )

 * "... installed corrugated aluminum on the bottom of the marquee in 1975" - what is a marquee in this context?
 * I linked the word to Marquee (sign) for clarification. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The first sentence in the second paragraph of the "Reception" section is too long and needs splitting.
 * Done. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

That's all for the moment. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I hope I've addressed your concerns thus far. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Dom Joly

Poorly sourced? I don't think so - well not anymore

 * I Have sources all the sources I have usedm but that box still appears, which states that the article is poorly sources! User:JoWal

 * I think the date of his birth is wrong

 * Not according to imdb and other sources, although If your have enough sources please change it, although please leave the four ~'s after your message to make life easier, JoWal 18:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

..could do more trigger happy tv its fantastic ther ar thousands of people who stil dnt know your voice and face  go on    ,,,,from a big fan  —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Just looking at all the other sources and it states 1968, in addition, watching Dom Joly's big adventure, he went to the caves where he carved his name in them in 1975, he wouldnt have carved the caves when he was 2?????

Revert
Removed a change to the document since it was an opinion by anonymous user with no citation provided and removed information to make it look more like a promo for the show. Gordie 18:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Proof is not equal to percent
In "Dom Joly's Happy Hour" it says "After that Joly hilariously visited Russia, trying 80% proof homemade vodka;..."

80% alcohol is 160 proof, 80 proof is 40% alcohol. From context, I suspect it's supposed to be 80%, but not being positive I didn't want to change it. --StarChaser Tyger 03:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Attended school with Osama Bin-Laden?
Someone inserted a line of text referencing that while in Lebanon, Joly attended high school with Osama Bin-Laden. Not only are their dates of birth almost a decade off, but Bin-Laden did not grow up in Lebanon, let alone go to high school there. It appears that this was inspired by this video: http://digg.com/videos/comedy/Dom_Joly_and_Osama_Bin_Laden_on_Would_I_Lie_to_You in which Joly attempts to [falsely] persuade a panel that he attended high school with Bin-Laden.

Removed line of text. What is a username? 21:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that clip from digg.com is merely a promo for the show Would I Lie To You, and does not reveal whether it is true or not, however, this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ylYQjzYocVs reveals it is actually true Tommeehan 15:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Not only is it true, but It has been common knowledge for some time. His appearence on 'would i lie to you' was not the first time that this infi was revealed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

 * This lie causes a lot of offence amongst people connected with the school. For example:

"HI, Do you know how one can get false information off Dom Joly's entry in Wikapedia? I would like to tell the editors that when Joly briefly attended Brummana High school aged 6, and subsequently during the civil war, was sent to prep school to the Dragon School in Oxford,and then public school in the UK, Ossama Bin Laden (born in 1957) was not in Brummana (nor is he recorded as ever visiting Lebanon) but was attending Al Thager Model School in Jedda. Look at Wikapedia entries on Bin Laden. The retired registrar of Brummana High school and other staff deny Ossama's presence as a student, but agree that there were (two?) of his siblings there at one time. He had over 50 brothers and sisters. Wikapedia also states that Ossama married when he was 17, although the 6 year old Dom says they were both in Brummana when he was 18. D'you think you can get the entry changed?" Padres Hana (talk) 20:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

didn't it turn out to be true on the show? that what he says at the end, but on this article it says that it was a joke, why? Jimjom

 * It was not a joke. He never met Bin Laden, but, indeed, they attended the same school at the same time. Bin Laden was 18, ready to finish, Joly was six, entering, according to Joly's story, told in an eyebrow magazine interview. I've fleshed out the report, and sourced it. --Abd (talk) 22:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The page on the school says it is a lie. The have a reference Kiwiteen123 Please reply on my talk page 04:36, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Teddy-bear party?
This article says that the TBP came fourth, beating the UKIP. Yet the main article link's results table shows it coming fifth, trounced by the aforementioned nationalists.

Where has the "Notable quotes" section gone?
That was a really good section

 * Same for the last few sections e.g. Personal Life? They're there if you edit the page, but don't show up? Wiki moderators please? --leopheard (talk) 13:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Surname?
His surname switches back and forth between Joly and Jolly throughout the article (so much so that it initially struck me as somebody's attempt at a subtle joke). Fivepast (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Paul Zenon
Has Paul Zenon been editing this page? There are loads of useless sentences plugging Paul Zenon and trying to descredit Dom Joly...Darrek Attilla (talk) 11:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

DOB?
At the top of the article, it states "Dominic John Joly (born 15 November 1967)", but under the image area on the right, it states "November 15, 1968 (1968-11-15) (age 39)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Cooper Brown
I added weasel to the report that Dom Joly is Cooper Brown. We have no adequately reliable source for that. See an investigation into this, showing what the sources actually say, at Cooper Brown Talk. Attribution of the claim would be better than what I did, but only so many trivialities I can manage today.--Abd (talk) 17:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Early career
"Runner at London". Anyone know what on earth that is supposed to mean? Xyster (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

'Early career Following university his work included: A runner at London'

A runner in what, the London Marathon? A 'runner' for a newspaper or TV production company? Does anyone know what this refers to? Kayakboy (talk) 19:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Left-handedness
"Noticeably left-handed"? Isn't one's "handedness" always noticeable? The adverb creates the implication that Joly has been trying to get away with not being identified as a left-hander. Which I doubt. Macphysto (talk) 15:18, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

"Meta-Metadata" <-- my head just eggsploded --JWSchmidt 17:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL! Check my edit summary <-- CQ 18:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiVantage
I think Wiki-folk have a huge advantage over systems built from scratch, especially if they're built to those accussed IEEE specs. The biggist thing (most central, anyway) in the Booch-Rambaugh-Jacobsen schOOl of meta-Meta bo-META-META is the CLASSIFIER which sits at the core of the UML backbone (...or is it at the Backbone of the core? i fergit...). That's half of the battle! Another third of the battle is won with Templates (in skillful hands of course). In my OOPinion, The Wikiverse is a great environment for Learning Objects! -O^O- CQ 18:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Shoot! MediaWiki has a built in one called the Category namespace.

Databases - about interoperability and efficience
In en.wikipedia, there are strong guidelines against it (Vanity guidelines). I am not sure what are the Wikiversity's policies about it, so let me know if my contribution violates any of them. w:Rjgodoy 20:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikiversity, like "brick and morter" universities, includes research and development activities. If you have a paper online that is relevant, citing it here is not considered "vanity". See Original research. -- CQ 14:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Learning_object_metadata
What is Learning_object_metadata for? Should we move it to wikiversity? (there is a  template there). w:Rjgodoy 13:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. I'm not sure, yet, Rjgodoy. The reason for it being there as a blank page template is for use in developing a future implementation of LOM in mediaWiki, which may or may not come about. The comments on the talk page there are useful. If we do move it here, we should import it in the proper way. I'm thinking if we use it, for this project, we would use it like Category:Page creation templates. -- CQ 14:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Historical Introduction to Philosophy/Hume Scratch Page

Historical Introduction to Philosophy David Hume has been at times considered the last of the great British "empiricists" he has also been regarded as a great historian and essayists. Hume wrote on many topics, including; Personal Identity, Religion Some of Hume's major philosophical works include:

A Treatise of Human Nature 1739-1740

Enquiries Considering Human Understanding 1748

Inquiry concerning the Principles of Morals 1751

Dialogues 1779

Four Dissertations 1757

Even today, these works remain extremely influential, despite the denouncment my many of his contemporaries, some labeling them works of athiesm and scepticism. Some of the people that Hume's writings have influenced have been Immanuel Kant, and in the moral philosophy and writings on economics written by Adam Smith, who was also a close friend of Hume's, he also had a great influence on Jeremy Bentham and even Chareles Darwin who at times considered him to be a central influence on his writings. These writers took very different directions in their writings, but all of them with their writing reflect the wide range of Hume's empiricism.

Xu Xing (writer)

Xu Xing (born March 1956), is a Chinese writer, cultural scholar and independent documentary director from Beijing.

Life
Xu Xing, a famous Chinese writer and cultural scholar, published his debut novel Variations Without a Theme (无主题变奏) in July 1985 by People's Literature, which is regarded as a landmark work of Chinese contemporary literature from tradition to modernity.

After graduating from high school in 1975, Xu Xing went to Zhidan county in northern Shan'xi province to jump the queue of working in countryside. He joined the army in 1977 and served in the 21st Corps of Lanzhou Military Region.

In 1981 Xu Xing returned to Beijing after demobilizing from the army. He worked as a waiter and cleaner in Peking Duck House at Hepingmen and began to write. Within six months, he wrote his novel Variations Without a Theme.

The novella Variations Without a Theme was not published until 1985, which aroused a great response and became one of the representatives of "avant-garde novels" in China ("先锋派小说"). The emergence of avant-garde novelists in those years made novel writing take on a brand new form. It made literary discourse greatly break through the narrative and description functions of traditional literary language and created new emotional expression and metaphorical symbolic functions, giving a shock to traditional realistic literary concepts.

Variations Without a Theme won the best short story award at Peking University Student Art Festival in 1989. Later, he published the novellas The Story of A City (《城市的故事》) and Hungry Mice (《饥饿的老鼠》). Short stories, The City That Has Lost Its Song (《失去了歌声的城市》), How Did I Go Mad (《我是怎样发疯的》), Love Story (《爱情故事》), Help (《帮忙》), Martyr (《殉道者》), Don't Cry At the Crossing (《无为在歧路》) etc.; The plays, The Story of a King and a Horse (《国王和马的故事》) and How a Play was Finished... ( 《一出戏是怎样完成的......》) ; the novel All that Left is Yours (《剩下的都属于你》) as well as the collection of novels, Variations Without a Theme.

In 1989, Xu Xing accepted the invitation of Berlin University of the Arts and left China to live in Germany temporarily as a visiting scholar at the university of Heidelberg. In Heidelberg, he helped resume the publication of Today, the most influential overseas Chinese literary magazine. In the same year, he won the Swedish Kult Tucholsky Prize from Pen Sweden.

Later, Xu Xing accepted the invitation of Heinrich Boer foundation and lived in Boer's home for writing. Meanwhile, he participated in Heidelberg overseas Chinese literature conference.

After returning to China from Federal Republic of Germany, Xu Xing was selected as one of 240 outstanding novelists in the world by France nouvel observateur.

In five years between 1991 and 1996 Xu Xing completed the novel All that Left is Yours (《剩下的都属于你》).

Since 2002, Xu Xing began shooting documentary films. His first documentary Drawing Your Eyes and Eyebrows by the Cliff (《崖畔上画下你眉眼》) was completed in 2002. This year he also hosted "Xu Xing Studio" in the Chinese Language Center of the University of Frankfurt, Germany.

From 2005 to 2007, Xu Xing shot the documentary A Chronicle of My Cultural Revolution (《我的文革编年史》) with France's TV5 TV station. This documentary was based on his personal experiences growing up in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. He tried to integrate personal memory with national collective memory, which may help the two types of memories confirm and support each other so as to provide today's audience with a kind of both individual and public historical statements. This film has been invited by foreign universities for many times to broadcast in the United States, Germany, Italy, France and other places.

Invited by Feuchtwanger Fellowship Villa Aurora, LA foundation, Xu Xing worked as a visiting scholar in USC for one year and screened A Chronicle of My Cultural Revolution (《我的文革编年史》) in University of San Diego, UCLA, University of Southern California, University of Pittsburgh, Harvard University and Columbia University in turn.

He was one of the judges at the 9th and 10th Rome Asian film festival.

As a member of Chinese Literature, Forum Xu Xing was invited to participate in the Aix-en-Provence Asian Literature Forum. Meanwhile, he became a member of Heidelberg State Library Reading Forum.

A Chronicle of My Cultural Revolution (《我的文革编年史》was screened at La Fondation Maison des Sciences DE L 'homme.

In 2010, Xu Xing began to shoot a new documentary 5+5 in Songzhuang(宋庄), Beijing. The film mainly tells the stories of Lao Jin, the driver of an unlicensed taxi, and artists in Song Zhuang(宋庄). After the film was completed, it was invited to be shown at the university of Venice, the University of Naples in Italy and Columbia University in the United States.

In 1994 and two decades later in 2004, he participated in the St. Malo (France) Literary Festival, an important literary festival in the world. He delivered a keynote speech on Chinese literature, making contributions to Chinese literature.

From 2010 to 2014, he shot the documentary Crime Summary. Most people like to read the history of people with power, status and influence, but few pay attention to ordinary people. Xu Xing accidentally got a pile of prisoners' forms during the cultural revolution. The "criminals" in the tables " were farmers. Full of doubts, Xu Xing carried his camera and went to shoot and interview those farmers in Zhejiang Province. This documentary film has been widely regarded fill the domestic and foreign academic void in the study of the cultural revolution in China rural areas and farmers.

In 2014, Xu Xing won the 5th Korea Gwangwa Gate highest artistic achievement award.

Mathis on Broadway

Mathis on Broadway is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on April 25, 2000, by Columbia Records and focuses upon songs included in musicals from the previous two decades.

Reception
Reviews of the singer's most recent tribute to the Great White Way were positive: Michael Portantiere of TheaterMania.com wrote that "Mathis comes across with the smooth, rich, velvety vocalism for which he is legendary," noting that certain songs covered on the album "require the kind of breath support, legato, and phrasing that precious few singers of Mathis's age can supply. But this guy still has the right stuff, in abundance." Billboard magazine echoed these sentiments: "The legendary performer breathes fresh perspective into songs that might sound overdone in lesser hands." And William Ruhlmann of AllMusic goes so far as to say that "the lesser talents among the composers -- Lloyd Webber, Wildhorn, Claude-Michel Schönberg -- owe Mathis a debt for making their music sound so good, while Sondheim can be grateful that Mathis makes him sound so accessible.
