Although Ana Paula and Fernando develop a close friendship, she cannot stop thinking about Aníbal, the man of her dreams. Aníbal is the opposite of Fernando: he is proud and arrogant, looks down upon people below his class, and would not even bother to look at a girl like Ana Paula twice. However, a misunderstanding brings Aníbal and Ana Paula together when he mistakes her for Catalina Lampedusa, an Italian aristocrat known as the Countess of Cogorno. |
So, Ana Paula continues to pretend to be a rich countess in order to win Aníbal's heart. However, this is not easy for her, as she has to face Adriana, Aníbal's lover, who will go to any lengths to expose her, and her feelings for her true prince charming, Fernando. |
= = = Nikola Savčić = = = |
Nikola Savčić (born March 13, 1974) is a Serbian former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events. He held numerous Yugoslav records in a sprint breaststroke double, and later represented Yugoslavia at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Savcic is also a resident athlete for PK April 11 in Belgrade, and a member of Yugoslav national swimming team since 1990. |
Savcic swam only in the 100 m breaststroke, as a member of the former Yugoslav squad, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:04.75 from the Akropolis International Meet in Athens. He challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including two-time Olympians Valērijs Kalmikovs of Latvia and Arsenio López of Puerto Rico. He raced to the fourth seed by a 0.62-second deficit behind joint winners Kalmikovs and Lopez in 1:04.64, worthy enough for a Yugoslav record. Savcic failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-second overall on the first day of prelims. |
Since 2001, Savcic currently resides in the United States, where he works as part of an age group coaching staff for the Lakeridge Swim Team in Reno, Nevada. |
= = = Nanto-Bordelaise Company = = = |
The Nanto-Bordelaise Company — formally "La Compagnie de Bordeaux et de Nantes pour la Colonisation de l’Île du Sud de la Nouvelle Zélande et ses Dépendances" — was a French company inaugurated in 1839 by a group of merchants from the cities of Nantes and Bordeaux, with the purpose of founding a French colony in the South Island of New Zealand. |
The company was formed after negotiations in August 1838 between whaling boat captain Jean-François Langlois and several Ngai Tahu Māori chiefs for the purchase of several thousand acres of land on Banks Peninsula, for which Langlois promised to pay a total of 1,000 francs. Upon returning to France in 1839, Langlois set about founding a company with the help of several financial backers, the eventual aim of which was to claim the entirety of the South Island for France. Government support was obtained in December of the same year via King Louis-Philippe to transport 80 settlers to Port Louis-Philippe (now Akaroa). A warship, the corvette "Aube", would travel to New Zealand, followed a month later by the colonists aboard . "Aube" left for the Pacific in February 1840, captained by Charles François Lavaud, who had been appointed as Commissaire du Roi. |
Aware of the potential threat of losing sovereignty of parts of the New Zealand island chain to the French, during early 1840, Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson was tasked with securing the whole of the country for the British Government. To this end, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed as an agreement between the British Crown and the indigenous Māori population. By the time "Aube" arrived at the Bay of Islands in June 1840, the acquisition of the country by Britain was effectively complete. Faced with no prospect of anything more than a small colonial settlement, Lavaud left for Banks Peninsula to oversee the arrival of "Comte de Paris". Hobson also sent a ship, HMS "Britomart", on board which were colonial magistrates. |
On arriving at Akaroa, Lavaud discovered that the agreement between Langlois and the local Māori was not as clear-cut as had been promised. Despite this, the founding of the colony went ahead, under an amalgam of French and British jurisdiction. C.B. Robinson, one of the magistrates sent on "Britomart", worked alongside Lavaud in the organisation of the settlement. Lavaud retired in 1843, and was succeeded as Commissaire du Roi by Post-Captain A. Bérard, who remained in this position until 1846, when formal agreements between the French government and the Nanto-Bordelaise Company settlement ended. |
The question of sovereignty remained a complex one, which the local colonial authorities were unable to solve. Eventually, the British Government resolved that the company would be awarded four acres of land for every £1 they could prove to have spent on the settlement. On 30 June 1849, the company's remaining New Zealand properties were bought by the New Zealand Company for the sum of £4,500. A second ship carrying more French settlers, "Monarch", arrived at Akaroa in 1850. |
Akaroa and the nearby smaller settlement of Duvauchelle both retain a pride in their French history, with many of the local streets having French names. A biennial French festival is held in odd-numbered years in Akaroa. |

= = = McGirr ministry (1947–50) = = = |
The McGirr ministry (1947–1950) or Second McGirr ministry was the 53rd ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 28th Premier, the Honourable Jim McGirr, MLA, of the Labor Party. The ministry was the second of three consecutive occasions when the Government was led by McGirr, as Premier. |
McGirr was first elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1922 and served continuously until 1952, holding the various seats of Cootamundra, Cumberland, Bankstown, and Liverpool. Having served in the third ministry of Jack Lang, and the first and second ministries of William McKell, McGirr was variously torn between Lang Labor and the newly formed Australian Labor Party. When McKell stood aside as Premier in 1947 in order to take up an appointment as Governor-General of Australia, McGirr was elected Labor Leader and became Premier. McGirr led Labor to victory at the 1947 state election. |
This ministry covers the period from 19 May 1947 until the 1950 state election, held on 30 June when McGirr led Labor to victory and the Third McGirr ministry was sworn in. |
The composition of the ministry was announced by Premier McGirr on 19 May 1947 and covers the period up to 21 September 1949; with several minor rearrangements. Ministers are listed in order of seniority and in some cases, serve the full term of parliament. |

= = = Corno da tirarsi = = = |
The corno da tirarsi ("pull horn") is a Baroque brass instrument. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the instrument when he was working in Leipzig, and it appears to have been played for him by Gottfried Reiche. |
It has been stated that it appears in four Bach cantatas. |
However, it is only called for in three cantatas by name, BWV 46, 162 and 67. |
Its characteristics are debated, but it was most likely a horn that resembled the "Inventions" horn of the late 18th century: "a freely-moving, double (cylindrical) tuning slide positioned diametrically across its circular body". It may also have been a slide trumpet. |
