= = = Stella Kramrisch = = =
Stella Kramrisch (May 29, 1896 – September 2, 1993) was a cosmopolitan art historian, who was well known as a specialist in Indian art and Hinduism. She researched and taught Indian art history for more than six decades on three continents. After writing her dissertation on the essence of early-buddhist sculpture in India, she was invited to teach at Kala Bhavana in Shantiniketan (1922–24), from where she went on to a teaching post at Calcutta University (1924–1950). In Europe Kramrisch worked at the Courtauld Institute, London (1937–1940). From 1950, she was professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of South Asia Regional Studies, where she had been recruited by W. Norman Brown, in addition to being a curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Stella Kramrisch was born on May 29, 1896, in Nikolsburg, now Mikulov, in Austria. She was trained as a ballet dancer growing up in Austria. When Kramrisch was about 10 her parents moved to Vienna. One day she came across a translation of the Bhagavadgita: "I was so impressed it took my breath away." She had found what she wanted to do in her life. She enrolled at the University of Vienna, studying at the department of art history with Professors Max Dvořák and Josef Strzygowski. She focused her studied on Indian art and culture. Thus she learned Sanskrit and read philosophy, literature and anthropology. In 1919, she successfully completed her studies by earning her doctorate.
That year she traveled to London in 1919 as part of a university delegation to give three lectures at Oxford. Rabindranath Tagore heard her speak and invited her to come to India and teach at the Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan in 1922. She was appointed professor of Indian art at the University of Calcutta in 1924, where she taught until 1950.
In 1924 her first monograph "Essence of Indian art" was published in German, which was reviewed widely in various journals throughout Europe. In the 1920s Kramrisch kept travelling to Vienna to give lectures. Various articles of her colleagues in Vienna appear as English translations in the Journal of the Indian Society of Oriental Art, which Kramrisch edited from 1933 onwards together with Abanindranath Tagore. Her seminal publication "Indian sculpture" (1933) was a profound analysis of Indian sculpture, conceptualized in size and format to function as an actual handbook.
After the British left India in 1947, her husband Laszlo Nemenyi opted to work for the new government of Pakistan and moved to Karachi. In 1950 he was found shot dead on a beach. Only after this, she finally moved permanently to the United States. While in India, she had converted to Hinduism, and begun a collection of South Asian art, later left to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Stella Kramrisch was the Professor of South Asian Art at the University of Pennsylvania for a long period of time. She was also the curator of Indian art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from 1954 until 1972, and was a Curator Emeritus until her death. In 1981 she curated "Manifestations of Shiva", a large-scale exhibition of Indian art and sculpture at the Museum, which was met with both critical and popular success. Her books include "The Hindu Temple" (1946, still in print in India), "Principles of Indian Art", and the encyclopedic "The Presence of Siva". She was a friend of the ballerina, designer, actress, and collector Natacha Rambova. Barbara Stoler Miller and Wayne E. Begley were among her students. Prof. Kramrisch was succeeded by Michael W. Meister, who is currently the W. Norman Brown Professor of South Asia Studies and History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania.
Kramrisch died on September 2, 1993, at her home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In 1982 the Indian government awarded Kramrisch with its Padma Bhushan award. In 1985 she was awarded the prestigious Charles Lang Freer Medal by the Smithsonian Institution.
At the time of her death, Kramrisch left a bequest of 25 works to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In addition, Kramrisch's curatorial position was officially re-titled as the Stella Kramrisch Curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a position which still exists today.

= = = Chet Faker = = =
Nicholas James Murphy (born 23 June 1988), known by his former stage name, Chet Faker, is an Australian singer and songwriter. In 2012, he issued an extended play, "Thinking in Textures", and signed to Downtown Records in the United States. In October 2012, he won Breakthrough Artist of the Year and "Thinking in Textures" won Best Independent Single/EP at the Australian Independent Records Awards. In January 2013, the work won Best Independent Release at the "Rolling Stone" Australia Awards for 2012.
Faker's cover of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" (as Chet Faker) was featured in a 2013 Super Bowl commercial for Beck's Sapphire. In April 2014, "Built on Glass", his debut studio album, was released to generally positive reviews and debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Charts. Three tracks from the album were voted into the top ten of Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2014, including the number one spot for "Talk Is Cheap". Since September 2016 he has performed and released material under his birth name.
Chet Faker played under his stage name after people came to his shows thinking he was a different and already established musician, Nick Murphy. He settled on the name as an homage to Chet Baker: "I listened to a lot of jazz and I was a big fan of ... the way he sang, when he moved into mainstream singing. He had this really fragile vocal style—this really, broken, close-up and intimate style. The name is kind of just an ode to Chet Baker and the mood of music he used to play—something I would like to at least pay homage to in my own music." Other influences he has cited include Bob Dylan, as well as his mother's Motown albums and his father's "chilled out Ibiza CDs".
He first rose to prominence after his cover of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" went viral online, reaching number one on the Hypemachine chart in May 2011. He released his first extended play, "Thinking in Textures", on 22 March 2012 to positive reviews, being described as "wonderfully loungey" and praised for its ability to "mix subtlety with impressive beauty". The EP was also popular with fans, with its second single, "I'm Into You", landing at number 24 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2012.
Faker has collaborated with Flume and remixes of songs by MS MR and The Temper Trap. He was a featured vocalist on Say Lou Lou's "Fool of Me", which was named Best New Track by "Pitchfork" in May 2013.
On 12 August 2013, Faker released a new single, "Melt", featuring American vocalist Kilo Kish. In November 2013 Flume and Faker released an EP, titled "Lockjaw". Faker released his debut studio album, "Built on Glass", on 11 April 2014. The album's full release was preceded by its lead single, "Talk Is Cheap", and an accompanying music video on 11 February 2014. The album debuted at number one on the ARIA Charts.
Faker performed at the Boston Calling Music Festival in May 2015. Later that month, "Talk Is Cheap" was named the number-one song in the 2014 Triple J Hottest 100, while two other singles, "Gold" and "1998", also reached the top ten, placing at number 7 and 8, respectively. In June, Faker released a new single, "Bend", a previously unreleased track intended for "Built on Glass". It was promoted by his Australian "Built on Live" tour in October.
Faker released a new EP, "Work", a collaboration with London-based DJ Marcus Marr on 4 December 2015.
On 8 September 2016, the artist wrote on his Facebook page, "It's been half a decade since I started releasing music as Chet Faker and all of you have been the driving force behind the music since. There's an evolution happening and I wanted to let you know where it's going. The next record will be under my own name, Nick Murphy. Chet Faker will always be a part of the music. This is next."

= = = Scarboro Landfill = = =
The Scarboro Landfill is a controversial landfill in Harford County, Maryland in the United States. It is located on the property of the Harford Waste Disposal Center operated by the Harford County Government where a separate sanitary landfill is in use. An assessment of the landfills was carried out and confirmed the concerns raised by local residents.
The now closed Scarboro Landfill is unlined, and it received municipal waste from 1956 until 1986. In the 1980s a number of wells had been drilled in the areas surrounding the landfill and were discovered to contain pollutants such as methylene chloride, toluene, ethylbenzene and other xylenes. A remediation program is being carried out and there is a recognised problem with volatile organic compounds.
The Scarboro Conservation Area is nearby.

= = = Lee Li Lian = = =
Lee Li Lian (, born 19 July 1978) is a Singaporean politician, as a member of the opposition Workers' Party. Lee made her political debut on the 2011 election where she contested the single-member constituency of Punggol East. She served as the Member of Parliament upon winning the 2013's by-election from January 2013 until on August 2015, where she lost her seat to Charles Chong in the 2015 election by a narrow margin.
Outside politics, Lee worked as a Business Development Executive at Clapper (S) Pte Ltd (2000–2003), a Financial Consultant for American International Assurance (2003–2005), a Broker with CIMB-GK Securities (2005–2006), a Recruitment Manager for Prudential Assurance (2006–2008) and a Senior Trainer at Great Eastern Life Assurance (2008–2013). Lee resigned from her job as a financial trainer to serve as a full-time MP following her victory in the Punggol East by-election.
Lee was the Workers' Party's Deputy Treasurer from 2008 to 2011, the party's Youth Wing President from 2011 to 2012 and the Deputy Webmaster from 2012 to 2014. Since 2014, she has been the Organising Secretary on the party's Executive Council. Prior to her election to parliament, she also served as a legislative assistant to Pritam Singh, who he was now the Secretary-General of the party since 2018, and as an MP of the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (which the party first captured the constituency in the 2011 general election.
Lee made her debut in the political arena on the 2011 general election where she was fielded as a candidate representing the Punggol East SMC (a ward formerly part of the neighbouring Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC), where she was defeated to the governing People's Action Party (PAP) candidate, Michael Palmer (who was made as a Speaker of Parliament post-election), with 16,994 (54.54%) to 12,777 votes (41.01%) (a third candidate, Desmond Lim of the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA), received only 1,387 votes (4.45%)).
However, on 12 December 2012, Palmer resigned his Speaker and MP post citing that he had an extra-marital affair against a constituency director from Pasir Ris West division, eventually precipitated a by-election which would be held on January 2013. On the same day, then-Secretary General of WP, Low Thia Khiang announced the party candidacy, and would field Lee to contest the seat again in the forthcoming by-election.
At the close of the nomination (on January 16), Lee faced a rare four-cornered contest between PAP's Koh Poh Koon (a colorectal surgeon who joined the party three months prior), the SDA's Lim, and a fourth candidate, the Reform Party's Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam. On 26 January, Lee won the election with 16,045 votes (54.50%), with her rivals Koh, Jeyaretnam and Lim, received 12,875 (43.73%), 353 (1.20%) and 168 votes (0.57%), respectively. This win marked the second time after the 1981 by-election the WP had captured another parliamentary seat after a by-election, and Lee was also the first female candidate to control a SMC. Upon her win, Lee told the media that her immediate priority as Member of Parliament would be to ensure the smooth handover of the Town Council from the ruling PAP. Lee was sworn in as a Member of Parliament on 4 February 2013.
In the 2015 General Election, Lee was announced as a candidate who would defend the constituency, and on 27 August, PAP revealed that six-term MP and Deputy Speaker Charles Chong would be the challenger. On 11 September, Lee was defeated in her re-election 48.24% to 51.76%, and thus returning Punggol East SMC to the PAP. Although she was offered a Non-Constituency MP (NCMP) position by-virtue for being the best-scoring losers of the election, Lee declined the offer, the first time someone had done so since 1984 (two candidates who were also offered a position but neither accepted the offer). It was later revealed that Daniel Goh, a candidate part of the East Coast GRC (another ward with a best-scoring losing result, alongside Fengshan SMC), would replace Lee as the last NCMP seat, on 4 February 2016.
Lee was educated at Holy Innocents' High School and Ngee Ann Polytechnic, before earning a Bachelor's degree from Curtin University in 2001.
Lee is married to Koh Chee Koon, a telecommunications consultant. On 15 January 2014, it was announced that she is pregnant with her first child and on 1 July 2014, she gave birth to a baby girl.
= = = Cyclone Oswald = = =
Tropical Cyclone Oswald in 2013 passed over parts of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia over a number of days, causing widespread impact including severe storms, flooding, and water spouts. Coastal regions of Queensland were the most impacted with Mundubbera, Eidsvold, Gayndah and Bundaberg in the Wide Bay–Burnett hit severely. In many places the rainfall total for January set new records. Across the affected region, damage from severe weather and flooding amounted to at least A$2.4 billion.
7,500 residents of Bundaberg and patients at the Bundaberg Hospital were evacuated. Houses were completely washed away and parts of Bundaberg's sewage network were destroyed. Cuts to transport links including damage to numerous bridges, communication interruptions, electrical blackouts and water supply problems were experienced across wide areas. Several swiftwater rescues had to be undertaken.
On 17 January, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres and the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center started to monitor a tropical low that had developed within a marginal environment for further development over the Gulf of Carpentaria. Over the next two days, the cyclone slightly developed further before the system made landfall to the southwest of Borroloola early on 19 January, where the possibility for further development became stifled. By 20 January, the system completed a clockwise loop before re-emerging into the Gulf of Carpentaria. Once back over water, the system quickly organised and strengthened into Tropical Cyclone Oswald early on 21 January. At the same time, the JTWC began monitoring the system as Tropical Cyclone 11P.
Radar imagery from Mornington Island depicted a well-defined low-level circulation with defined banding features wrapping into the centre. Situated in a very moist air mass and over the warm waters of the Gulf, some intensification was expected before Oswald struck the Cape York Peninsula. Approximately 12 hours after being named, the storm made its second landfall north of Kowanyama with winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) and the final advisory was issued by the TCWC in Brisbane. Although over land, the system was able to maintain a defined circulation and gradually reorganised as it moved southwestward. By 23 January, deep convection redeveloped over the circulation and a strong monsoonal flow became established to its north. A high pressure system over New Zealand blocked the low pressure system from moving east, away from the Queensland coast, allowing the low to move slowly along the Queensland coast also causing it to stall near Rockhampton and in southern Queensland; feeding moist air from the Coral Sea into the low which resulted in a large area of convective activity with associated heavy rainfall and a low pressure trough over New South Wales allowed the low to move south into the Tasman Sea. Favourable upper-level conditions and ample moisture allowed the system to maintain its identity despite remaining over land for a prolonged period of time. By 30 January, the system had travelled more than and its remnants passed south of Sydney in New South Wales, emerging into the Tasman Sea.
As a precautionary measure, on 25 January Queensland Premier Campbell Newman ordered the pre-emptive release of water from Wivenhoe Dam to increase the dam's flood mitigation capacity. Releases from North Pine Dam were also made.
Due to the threat of heavy rains from Oswald, flood warnings were issued for much of northern New South Wales. By 28 January, moderate and major flood warnings were in place for the Bellinger, Kallang, Macleay, Manning, Nambucca, and Tweed Rivers, as well as Camden Haven, the Clarence Valley (including the Orara River), and Hastings. Severe weather warnings were also in place for much of the state, indicating the threat of heavy rains, destructive winds, and dangerous seas. Hundreds of travellers were stranded at Sydney Airport as flights were cancelled due to dangerous winds.
Rainfall was initially the heaviest around Tully where approximately of rain fell, with falling over 48 hours. The town of Ingham was completely cut off due to high waters. Residents in the town were advised to stock up on emergency supplies as the Herbert River rose rapidly after of rain fell in the town in just three hours. A brief tornado or waterspout with winds of touched down near Hay Point.
On the afternoon of 26 January, three separate tornadoes tore through the Bundaberg Region. At approximately 1:00 pm, the first tornado struck the town of Bargara, which brought down power lines, tore off roofs and smashed windows. At 3:30 pm, the town of Burnett Heads was battered by a second tornado, and soon after a third tornado struck Coonarr, south of Bargara. The tornadoes injured at least 17 people and damaged 150 properties. Weather conditions favoured tornadic activity because of strong low-level winds which were feeding into the low pressure system.
The Burnett River reached a new recorded height of on 29 January. More than 7,500 residents of Bundaberg were forced to evacuate from about 2,000 homes as the river's waters rose. 130 patients were evacuated from the Bundaberg Hospital to hospitals in Brisbane. Staff and resources from the Department of Health, Queensland Ambulance Service, Australian Defence Force, CareFlight (now LifeFlight) and Royal Flying Doctor Service, including several aircraft, were used to transport patients.
As of 29 January, the floods had claimed the lives of four people, including a three-year-old boy who died after being crushed by a falling tree at Gordon Park. On 28 January, the body of a man who was swept away by floodwaters the day before was pulled from Oxley Creek, while the bodies of two others – a 27-year-old man and an 81-year-old man – were also recovered in Gympie and Burnett Heads respectively. At Gympie flood waters from the Mary River swamped around 100 business and 25 residents. In Maryborough about 50 businesses and 150 homes were inundated as waters from the Mary River rose.
In Mundubbera the Burnett River peaked at 22.9 m at 1 am on 28 January. 100 homes and businesses were inundated in the town with about the same number flooded in the surrounding area. In Gayndah, 60 homes and 12 businesses were flooded. A landslide severed the Burnett Highway between Gayndah and Mundubbera.
Kumbarilla, Kogan and Tara west of Dalby were completely isolated after the new 4.6 million Wilkie Creek Bridge on Dalby-Kogan road was submerged by rising creek levels as the Moonie Highway flooded. About 40 houses were flooded in the Darling Downs town of Warwick.
Unlike the flooding which occurred in January 2011 at Ipswich and Brisbane, the flooding there was caused by the natural flooding of the creek system rather than deliberate dam releases. Waters in Laidley in the Lockyer Valley reached an all-time high with the main street in the town inundated. At Waterford in Logan City, the Logan River reached a peak of 9 m at midnight on 28 January. Flood waters were slow to recede along the river. A mudslide hit three houses in Logan City.
During 29 January, Brisbane's main water treatment plant at Mount Crosby was shut down after the high levels of sediment and silt in the Brisbane River caused record turbidity levels, which resulted in Seqwater and Queensland Premier, Campbell Newman urging residents to conserve water and to only use it for "drinking, cooking and bathing". Water supplies in some suburbs of Brisbane were expected to run out during 30 January, after an increase in consumption. The Gold Coast Desalination Plant was engaged from standby mode to supplement supplies with of water a day.
An estimated 41,000 people were temporarily isolated by flooding in New South Wales. In the Tweed Valley the Tweed River peaked at on 28 January, the highest level recorded in 30 years. In Grafton the Clarence River peaked a new record height of . Records for the river height in Grafton go back to 1839. The city's levee was credited with preventing more severe flooding. Despite that, around 1,500 people who lived closed to the Clarence River were asked to evacuate on the night of 28 January. Maclean was spared flooding from the Clarence River due to the town's levee. The Clarence Valley was not as fortunate, with many properties cut off and without power. The area was officially declared a disaster zone, as was the Tweed Shire. Minor flooding and road closures were experienced in the Hunter Valley.
In many affected areas the flooding would have been worse had the weather prior to the heavy rains not been so dry. In the 24 hours to 5 am on 27 January the Queensland State Emergency Service logged more than 800 requests for assistance. An exclusion zone was set up by police in Bundaberg North because damaged buildings and infrastructure posed significant safety risks. It wasn't until 2 February before limited access was granted for around 1,000 residents.
By the 28th of January, nearly a quarter of households in South East Queensland (around 300,000 homes and businesses) experienced power interruptions including 88,000 in Brisbane, 32,000 on the Sunshine Coast, 28,000 in Moreton Bay area and 28,000 on the Gold Coast. About 2,000 powerlines were brought down by storms. More premises lost power in this storm event than in the January 2011 floods. By 9pm 31 January approximately 5,300 premises were still without power.
The main coastal fibre-optic cable was cut near Colosseum causing widespread disruptions. This was followed by further damage to the alternate cable north of Harlin late on 26 January, resulting in widespread failures of mobile, landline, ATM, EFTPOS, broadband services and the 000 Emergency response number. The result of both of Telstra's major communications routes in Queensland being cut was that the towns of Mackay, Freshwater, Cairns, Rockhampton, Mount Morgan, Townsville, Mount Isa and Gladstone were almost completely isolated from communications technology. Telstra services were largely restored within 24 hours of the incident. Power outages resulted in disruptions to a number of Optus phone services.
The rail network in South East Queensland was heavily impacted by the storms, with inner city Brisbane lines particularly affected. The Bruce Highway, Bruxner Highway, Carnarvon Highway and Pacific Highway were all closed for some time. The Gwydir Highway was cut because of a landslide west of Grafton.
Some coal production in Central Queensland had been impacted because of transport disruptions. The Port of Gladstone suspended ship loading on 26 January due to poor weather, however loading resumed the following day. Alumina and liquified natural gas production in the state experienced minor impacts with operations returning to normal levels shortly after the wild weather had passed.
On the evening of 26 January, Awoonga Dam reached a new record water height level of . The citrus industry in the Wide Bay–Burnett region was hit hard with losses totalling hundreds of millions of dollars, higher than the cost of the 2011 floods. In Moreton Bay, seagrass beds are expected to endure greater damage than from the 2011 floods, when is some place 80% of the seafloor vegetation was lost. Sediment flows from the Brisbane River were expected to be much higher in this flood, placing the bay's dugong population at risk.
Campbell Newman launched the Red Cross Flood Appeal on 28 January. The state government donated $1 million to begin the appeal. By 4 February only $6 million had been raised for the flood appeal. Concerns were raised over the low figure as emergency payments alone would need funding of between $15 million to $25 million.
Government of Queensland disaster assistance was being offered in 21 local government areas shortly after the floods. The new Community Recovery Minister is David Crisafulli whose local government responsibilities were expanded to deal with flood recovery. Plans for relocation rather than re-building as well as the construction of new dams and levees were put forward soon after the floods.
On 1 February Deputy Commissioner of Police, Brett Pointing APM, was appointed to oversee the recovery activities in the Bundaberg and North Burnett Regions. On 3 February it was announced that Colonel Don Cousins AM, CSC would oversee recovery activities in North Queensland with Brigadier Bill Mellor, DSC, AM responsible for southern Queensland. On 8 February it was announced the state and federal governments had reached an agreement concerning funding to avenge public infrastructure. The arrangement which also includes sporting, recreational and community facilities, means that infrastructure can be rebuilt to a higher standard so that it may withstand future disasters.
Around 28,000 claims for insurance were lodged in Queensland.
In February 2013, more flash flooding occurred throughout Queensland and New South Wales, further impacting the damage already created from Cyclone Oswald the previous month, resulting in one death, and the need for some evacuations.

Llagas Creek is a perennial stream in Santa Clara County, California, United States. The headwaters rise on the eastern side of Crystal Peak near Loma Prieta. From there, the creek flows northeast along Casa Loma Road, until it reaches Uvas Road, and then turns south. At Oak Glen Avenue, the creek turns southeast, passing through Chesbro Reservoir, and the cities of Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy. The creek continues its southward flow, eventually joining with the Pajaro River at the San Benito County line.
The lower Llagas Creek, south of Gilroy, passes through a system of percolation ponds (Lower Miller Slough) which are used to treat wastewater in the area.
