Cast your telescope's gaze to a point a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, and you may just be lucky enough to see a black hole eating up a star. And that is just what scientists have done, with the first ever infrared images of the event being released. The star in question, known to its friends as Swift J1644+57, is pulled close to the super-massive black hole and is ripped apart by the force of gravity. The intense magnetic fields around the black hole then send a jet of particles straight out into space. ... www.euronews.net

1955. High quality version. One of the very last episodes, along with Dragon Around(1954) and Chips Ahoy(1956), with which ended the Disney shorts unit. In these episodes, both Chip and Dale feature larger eyes and generally look more baby-like, especially Dale. IMO, their reference drawing is in Chicken in the Rough and Two Chips and a Miss. On a more positive note, no old samples were re-used to do the chipmunks voices in these episodes, and they are much easier to understand than before.

    The districts of Bangladesh are divided into subdistricts called Upazila Parishad (UZP), or Thana (Bengali উপজেলা ''oopojela''). Upazilas are similar to the county subdivisions found in some Western countries.

    Bangladesh, at present, has 500 upazilas and 509 administrative thanas. The upazilas are the second lowest tier of regional administration in Bangladesh. The administrative structure consists in fact in Divisions (7), Districts (64), Upazila/Thana and Union Porishods (UPs). This system of devolution was introduced by the former military ruler and President of Bangladesh Lieutenant General Hossain Mohammad Ershad in an attempt to strengthen local government.

    Below UPs, villages (''Graam'') and ''Paara'' exist, but these have no administrative power and elected members. The Local Government Ordinance of 1982 was amended a year later, redesignating and upgrading the existing ''thanas'' as ''upazilas''.

    Administration

    Each Upazila Porishod (or council) has a chairman, a vice chairman and a woman vice chairman. All three are elected through direct popular election. Union Porishod chairmen within the upazila are considered as the members of the ''porishod''. The post of a woman vice chairman was created to ensure at least one-third woman representation in the all elected posts of the local government.

    There is a non-elected administrative Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) [ Bangla: উপজেলা নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা or Upazila Executive Officer] in each Upazila. UNOs are Senior Assistant Secretary of Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS). They act as executive officer of the upazila under the elected posts.

    The last election of Upazila Porishod held in 22 January 2010 after around 20 years.

    Roderick H. "Rod" Scribner (October 10, 1910–December 21, 1976) was an American animator best known for his work on the ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' series of cartoons from Warner Bros.. His animation was one of the wildest things ever seen on screen during The Golden Age of American animation. He started as an animator for Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton in 1938. In 1940, he joined Tex Avery's unit and worked with Robert McKimson, Charles McKimson, and Virgil Ross.

    In late 1941, after Tex Avery left, he was replaced as the unit director by Bob Clampett. Scribner turned out to be arguably Clampett's best animator. Clampett classics such as ''A Tale of Two Kitties'' (1942), ''Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs'' (1943), ''Falling Hare'' (1943), and ''The Great Piggy Bank Robbery'' (1946) showcase some of his greatest work: his trademark "Lichty style" of animation. Clampett left Warner Bros. in 1945 to pursue a career in puppetry and television. Not much is known about where Scribner was between 1946-1949 (although he does some animation on two McKimson cartoons starring Porky and Daffy in 1947). In 1950, Scribner returned to Warner Bros. under Robert McKimson's unit. His animation was tamed down to McKimson's standards, but he still got away with wild scenes, like in ''Hillbilly Hare'' (1950), ''Hoppy Go Lucky'' (1952) and ''Of Rice and Hen'' (1953). He left Warners in 1954 and worked at UPA. In his later years, Scribner worked with former colleague Bill Melendez on various Charlie Brown movies and television specials.

    Patricia Anne Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is an English model and photographer, and the former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton. She was the inspiration for songs written by both musicians: Harrison's "Something", "I Need You", "For You Blue" and "Isn't It a Pity", and Clapton's "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight" and "Bell Bottom Blues".

    Boyd started her modelling career in 1962, but was rejected by many photographers owing to her unconventional looks, including rather prominent front teeth, with one saying, "Models don't look like rabbits." Despite this, she modelled in London, New York, and Paris (for Mary Quant and others), and was photographed by David Bailey, and Terence Donovan.

    An exhibition of photographs taken by Boyd during her relationships with Harrison and Clapton opened at the San Francisco, California San Francisco Art Exchange on February 14, 2005, titled ''Through the Eye of a Muse''. The exhibition also ran again in San Francisco in February 2006, and for six weeks between June and July 2006, in London.

    Early years and career

    Boyd was born in Taunton, Somerset, to Colin Ian Langdon Boyd and Diana Frances Drysdale (married 14 September 1942). She was the eldest child, before Colin (1946), Helen Mary (later known as Jenny, 1947, later married to Mick Fleetwood), and Paula (1951). Boyd nicknamed Helen "Jenny", after one of her favourite dolls. The Boyds moved to Nairobi, Kenya, from 1948 to 1953, after her father's discharge from the Royal Air Force following a severe injury as a pilot during World War II. Diana and Colin divorced in 1952, and Diana returned to England with her four children following her remarriage to Robert Gaymer-Jones in February 1953 in Tanganyika (now Tanzania). They had two sons named David J.B. (1954) and Robert, Jr. (1955).

    Boyd attended Hazeldean School, Putney, and the St Agnes and St Michael Convent Boarding School, East Grinstead as well as St Martha's Convent, Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire, which she left with 3 GCE O level passes in 1961. She moved to London in 1962, first working at Elizabeth Arden's as a shampoo girl. A client who worked for a fashion magazine asked her if she had thought of modelling as a career.

    Boyd modelled in London, New York, and Paris (for Mary Quant), and was photographed by David Bailey and Terence Donovan. She appeared on covers of the UK and Italian editions of ''Vogue'' in 1969. After becoming George Harrison's girlfriend, Boyd was asked by Gloria Stavers to write a regular column for ''16 Magazine''. Twiggy, the popular 1960s model, commented that she based her own look on Boyd when starting her modelling career in 1966.

    George Harrison

    Boyd, who was nearly twenty-years-old in 1964, met Harrison during the filming of ''A Hard Day's Night'', in which she was cast as a schoolgirl fan. Boyd was "semi-engaged" to boyfriend Eric Swayne, whom she had dated for about a year, and out of loyalty declined Harrison's first invitation for a date, but said that Harrison was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. One of the first things Harrison said to her was "Will you marry me?" Boyd laughed, so Harrison said, "Well, if you won't marry me, will you have dinner with me tonight?" Several days later, when Boyd was recalled for another day's work on the film, Harrison asked her out again and she accepted, having ended the relationship with Swayne. Their first date was spent at the Garrick Club (a private gentlemen's club) in Covent Garden, in the company of Brian Epstein, who managed Harrison.

    Boyd was present, along with Harrison, John and Cynthia Lennon, during their first encounter with LSD, a medical acid, in early 1965. A dentist, John Riley, the son of a London police officer, laced their coffee with it. The four of them were furious and left extremely scared. In an agitated state, Boyd threatened to break a store window until Harrison dragged her away.

    Harrison and Boyd were driving through London in December 1965 when he proposed marriage to her, but said he would have to talk to Epstein first, to make sure no tours had been planned. Boyd married Harrison on 21 January 1966, in a ceremony at the then Registry Office, Upper High Street, in Esher, Surrey, with Paul McCartney (Best Man) and Epstein (sharing Best Man duties with Paul) in attendance. John Lennon and Ringo Starr had gone on holiday abroad with their wives, distracting journalists from finding out about the wedding. Boyd had started living with George at Kinfauns in 1965. Boyd and Harrison later went on holiday with Epstein, staying at the Hotel Cap Estel, near Eze, in the south of France.

    While Lennon was in Spain filming ''How I Won the War'' in September 1966, Harrison and Boyd flew to Bombay as guests of sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, and returned to London on 23 October 1966. Through her interest in Eastern mysticism and her membership in the Spiritual Regeneration Movement, she inspired all four Beatles to meet the Indian mystic Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in London on 24 August 1967, which resulted in a visit to Bangor, Gwynedd, to join him again in the following day. Boyd attended the ''Our World'' broadcast of "All You Need Is Love", which was shown on 25 June 1967. She accompanied Harrison, with the other Beatles, on their visit to the Maharishi's ashram in Rishikesh, India in 1968.

    Marriage Breakdown

    Lennon and Mick Jagger were also said to have been attracted to Boyd, with Jagger admitting to then-girlfriend Bebe Buell in the 1980s that he had failed to seduce Boyd after trying for years. Boyd had a brief affair with future Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood in 1973, as her marriage to Harrison was failing. Boyd states that Harrison's increasing religious explorations, extreme work ethic, and personality changes irrevocably alienated her, until they finally split in June 1974. Although they never reunited, Boyd said that Harrison is the love of her life and that she always regretted not working things out with him. Boyd was extremely upset upon hearing about Harrison's marriage to Olivia Harrison. She always had a good relationship with Harrison after their marriage, and they kept in regular contact throughout Harrison's life.

    Eric Clapton

    thumb|left|150px|''Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs'' In the late 1960s, Clapton and Harrison became close friends, and began writing and recording music together. It was reported at this time that Clapton fell in love with Boyd. Clapton also fell in love with Boyd's 17-year-old sister, Paula, who moved in with him. Paula left Clapton when she heard "Layla", because the song confirmed that Clapton had been using her as a substitute for her sister. Boyd claims that when she rebuffed Clapton's advances in late 1970, he descended into heroin addiction and self-imposed exile with Alice Ormsby-Gore for three years. Meanwhile, during Clapton's tenure in Derek and the Dominos, their only studio album, ''Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs'', was written to state his love for Boyd. It included the track "Layla", which has become a hit in three different decades and in two different versions. Boyd and Clapton married in 1979, but their public image as a perfect couple masked struggles within the marriage. Although Boyd drank and admits to past drug use, unlike Clapton she never became an alcoholic or a drug addict. Boyd states that she left Clapton at one point due to his refusal to seek treatment for his alcoholism, and she began seeing a photographer, Will Christie.

    In 1984, whilst they were still married, Clapton began a year-long relationship with Yvonne Kelly; they had a daughter, Ruth, born in January 1985. Clapton and Kelly did not make any public announcement about the birth of their daughter, and Ruth was not revealed as his child until 1991, at the funeral of his son Conor. Boyd says that she did not know of Ruth's existence until 1991: "What cut deepest was that Eric had known about the child all along. While declaring undying love to me and pleading with me to go back to him, he had been paying Yvonne maintenance for the past six years."

    Boyd states that she divorced Clapton after years of alcoholism as well as numerous affairs on his part, which began before their marriage. Clapton and Boyd divorced in 1989, following his affair with Italian model Lory Del Santo, who had given birth to his son, Conor, in August 1986. Boyd herself has never been able to conceive children, despite attempts at in vitro fertilisation. Boyd and Clapton's divorce was granted on the grounds of "infidelity and unreasonable behaviour".

    Song inspiration

    Boyd claims that she was the inspiration for one of Harrison's songs, "Something", which Frank Sinatra said was, at the time, the best love song written in 50 years. Boyd stated that Harrison told her "Something" was written for her, but after they parted Harrison said he was thinking about a song for Ray Charles. Boyd also stated she was the inspiration for "Bell Bottom Blues", which Clapton reportedly wrote after he gave her a pair of blue jeans. In her autobiography, Boyd wrote that Clapton gave her a pair of jeans after returning from a trip to Miami. It appeared on the same album as "Layla", which took its name from a Persian tale of unrequited love that Clapton had received from Abdalqadir as-Sufi.

    On 7 September 1976, Clapton wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for Boyd while waiting for her to get ready to attend Paul and Linda McCartney's annual Buddy Holly party. Talking about the song, Boyd says: "For years it tore at me. To have inspired Eric, and George before him, to write such music was so flattering. 'Wonderful Tonight' was the most poignant reminder of all that was good in our relationship, and when things went wrong it was torture to hear it."

    Photography

    An exhibition of photographs taken by Boyd during her days with Harrison and Clapton opened at the San Francisco Art Exchange on Valentine's Day 2005, titled, ''Through the Eye of a Muse''. The exhibition also ran again in San Francisco in February 2006, and for six weeks in June and July 2006, in London. It was also on display for a few weeks at the Morrison Hotel gallery in La Jolla, California, in 2008.

    Boyd's autobiography''Wonderful Today: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me'', was published in England on 23 August 2007, by Hodder Headline Review and in the U.S. (as ''Wonderful Tonight'') on 28 August 2007, by Harmony Books, includes her own photographs and was written with a £950,000 ($2.2 million) advance. It was co-written with journalist Penny Junor.

    In 2008, Boyd was living in a 17th-century cottage in West Sussex, and was said to be enjoying the prospect of her autobiography competing head-to-head with Clapton's own autobiography. In the United States, Boyd's book debuted at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list. Boyd has exhibited photographs taken during her days with Harrison and Clapton, from ''Through the Eyes of a Muse'', at Gallery Number One, in Dublin, in August and September 2008, and in Toronto, Canada in November and December 2008, at the Great Hall. "Through the Eyes of a Muse" was also exhibited in December 2009 at the Blender Gallery in Sydney, Australia, in May 2009, in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and from 28 December 2009 to 10 January 2010 at Lancaster Great House in Barbados.

    In July 2011, she exhibited her photographs at Santa Catalina Island in southern California. The exhibit was titled "Yesterday and Today: The Beatles and Eric Clapton as Photographed by Pattie Boyd." In July and August, 2011, she exhibited her photographs in Moscow.

    Raoul Dufy[p] (3 June 1877 – 23 March 1953) was a French Fauvist painter. He developed a colorful, decorative style that became fashionable for designs of ceramics and textiles, as well as decorative schemes for public buildings. He is noted for scenes of open-air social events. He was also a draftsman, printmaker, book illustrator, a theatrical set-dresser, a designer of furniture, and a planner of public spaces.

    Biography

    Raoul Dufy was born into a large family at Le Havre, in Normandy. He left school at the age of fourteen to work in a coffee-importing company. In 1895, when he was 18, he started taking evening classes in art at Le Havre's École d'Art (municipal art school). The classes were taught by Charles Lhuillier, who had been, forty years earlier, a student of the remarkable French portrait-painter, Ingres. There, Dufy met Raymond Lecourt and Othon Friesz with whom he later shared a studio in Montmartre and to whom he remained a lifelong friend. During this period, Dufy painted mostly Norman landscapes in watercolors.

    In 1900, after a year of military service, Dufy won a scholarship to the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where again he crossed paths with Othon Friesz. (He was there when Georges Braque also was studying.) He concentrated on improving his drawing skills. The impressionist landscape painters, such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, influenced Dufy profoundly. His first exhibition (at the Exhibition of French Artists) took place in 1901. Introduced to Berthe Weill in 1902, Dufy showed his work in her gallery. Then he exhibited again in 1903 at the Salon des Independants. A boost to his confidence: the painter, Maurice Denis, bought one of his paintings. Dufy continued to paint, often in the vicinity of Le Havre, and, in particular, on the beach at Sainte-Adresse, made famous by Eugene Boudin and Claude Monet. In 1904, with his friend, Albert Marquet, he worked in Fecamp on the English Channel (La Manche).

    Henri Matisse's ''Luxe, Calme et Volupté'', which Dufy saw at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905, was a revelation to the young artist, and it directed his interests towards Fauvism. ''Les Fauves'' (the wild beasts) emphasized bright color and bold contours in their work. Dufy’s painting reflected this aesthetic until about 1909, when contact with the work of Paul Cézanne led him to adopt a somewhat subtler technique. It was not until 1920, however, after he had flirted briefly with yet another style, cubism, that Dufy developed his own distinctive approach. It involved skeletal structures, arranged with foreshortened perspective, and the use of thin washes of color applied quickly, in a manner that came to be known as ''stenographic''.

    Dufy's cheerful oils and watercolors depict events of the time period, including yachting scenes, sparkling views of the French Riviera, chic parties, and musical events. The optimistic, fashionably decorative, and illustrative nature of much of his work has meant that his output has been less highly-valued critically than the works of artists who have addressed a wider range of social concerns.

    Dufy completed one of the largest paintings ever contemplated, a huge and immensely popular ode to electricity, the fresco ''La Fée Electricité'' for the 1937 Exposition Internationale in Paris.

    Dufy also acquired a reputation as an illustrator and as a commercial artist. He changed the face of local fashion and fabric design with his work for Paul Poiret. He painted murals for public buildings; he also produced a huge number of tapestries and ceramic designs. His plates appear in books by Guillaume Apollinaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, and André Gide.

    In the late 1940s and early 1950s Dufy exhibited at the annual Salon des Tuileries in Paris. Dufy died at Forcalquier, France, on 23 March 1953, and he was buried near Matisse in the Cimiez Monastery Cemetery in Cimiez, a suburb of the city of Nice.

    Work outside of painting

    In 1909, Raoul Dufy was commissioned by Paul Poiret to design stationery for the house, and after 1912 designed textile patterns for Bianchini-Ferier used in Poiret's and Charvet's garments.
