The article assesses archival materials on the festival movement in the Soviet Union in 1950s, including its peak, the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students held in 1957 in Moscow. Even now the Moscow festival is seen in the context of international cultural politics of the Cold War and as a unique event for the Soviet Union. The article is to put the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students in the context of other youth festivals held in the Soviet Union. The festivals of 1950s provided a field for political, social, and cultural experiments. They also have been the crucible of a new way of communication and a new language of design. Furthermore, festivals reflected the new (althogh relative) liberalism in the Soviet Union. This liberalism, first of all, was expressed in the fact that festivals were organized by the Komsomol and other Soviet public and cultural organisations. Taking the role of these organisations into consideration, the research draws on the documents of the Ministry of culture, the All-Russian Stage Society, as well as personal documents of the artists. Furthermore, the author has gained access to new archive materials, which have until now been part of no research, such as documents of the N. Krupskaya Central Culture and Art Center and of the central committees of various artistic trade unions. These documents confirm the hypothesis that the festivals provided the Komsomol and the Communist party with a means to solve various social, educational, and cultural problems. For instance, in Central Asia with its partiarchal society, the festivals focuced on female emancipation. In rural Central Asia, as well as in other non-russian parts of the Soviet Union, there co-existed different ways of celebrating. Local traditions intermingled with cultural standards prescribed by Moscow. At the first glance, the modernisation of the Soviet society was succesful. The youth acquired political and cultural level that allowed the Soviet state to compete with the West during the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students. During the festival, however, it became apparent, that the Soviet cultural scheme no longer met the dictates of times. Archival documents show that after the Festival cultural and party officials agreed to ease off dogmatism and to tolerate some of the foreign cultural phenomena.

The simultaneous examination of the brains of three brothers must be a unique event, and this investigation, which was conducted by Dr. Spitzka in conjunction with Drs. Ransom and Carlos MacDonald (and only a brief preliminary report of which is here given), has therefore an interest beyond its criminological significance. The three brothers murdered their uncle, and were executed by electricity in New York last year. They entered the death-chamber without any fear or trembling, “making less fuss than many people do before the photographer's camera,” and the successive executions of the three men and all the necessary arrangements were completed in a quarter of an hour, consciousness being in all cases abolished instantaneously. The chief physiological effects of the electric current noted were the high postmortem temperature, the fluid condition of the blood, the tetanised state of the ventricular portion of heart, the almost bloodless condition of the lungs, and the contraction of the colon.

Resumen: El interés por rastrear la figura de la madre bandolera, Rosalba Velásquez, conocida popularmente como la “Sargento Matacho”, detona en pleno desarrollo del trabajo de campo del proyecto “Recuerdos de infancia de antiguos niños guerrilleros”, patrocinado por la Convocatoria Orlando Fals Borda 2018. Allí, fuimos testigos de un sentido reencuentro entre miembros de la familia Velásquez, oriundos de Líbano (Tolima), quienes tras 49 años sin verse posibilitaron una serie de recuerdos y relatos en torno a la figura de la madre perdida: Rosalba Velásquez, la “Sargento Matacho”. Este escrito indaga sobre la figura de la bandolera, pero también sobre la madre desconocida, la mujer y la compañera, vista principalmente por el tercero de los hijos de Rosalba, William Velás- quez, durante su retorno junto con otros familiares a su natal Líbano, en septiembre de 2018. El texto busca, igualmente, registrar un suceso único: el reencuentro del hijo nacido de la guerra con las memorias de su madre perdida, la que un día salió al monte para jamás regresar. Woman, Mother, and Conflict: the Case of “Sargent Matacho” (1933-1964) Abstract: The interest in tracking the image of the guerrilla mother, Rosalba Velásquez, popularly known as Sergeant Matacho, triggers during the fieldwork of the “Childhood Memories of Former Guerrilla Children” project, supported by the Orlando Fals Borda 2018 sponsorship. There, we witnessed a meaningful reunion between members of the Velásquez family, native of Lebanon (Tolima), who after 49 years without seeing each other, enabled a runion and the emergence of a series of memories and narratives about the lost mother, Rosalba Velásquez, Sergeant Matacho. This paper inquiries about the image of the mother guerrilla, but also about the unknown mother, the woman, the affectionate caregiver, mainly seen by the third of Rosalba’s children, William Velásquez during his return along with other relatives, to Líbano (Tolima), in September 2018. The text also seeks to capture a unique event: The reunion of the son born of war, with the memories of his lost mother, who one day entered the Colombian mountains, to never return. Keywords: violence, guerrilla, children, Colombia, Tolima, woman, mother.

AbstractThis paper offers one of the first efforts at exploring the role of charity flea markets as a fundraising practice used by nonprofits to mobilize various resources like individual and corporate in-kind giving and volunteering in an unique event setting. With the support of volunteers, nonprofits generate cash by reselling product donations and by catering. As an innovative contribution to the so far limited research on flea markets and in-kind giving, our study uses an explorative case study approach based on guided interviews with Austrian flea market operators. The purpose of the case studies is to examine the specifics, benefits, challenges, and prospects of this underexplored funding instrument. Our findings contribute to an enhanced understanding of both charity flea markets and nonprofits̕ resource management and can assist charities in processing in-kind donations effectively and sustainably.

Detecting a weak linearly polarized component in an isolated solar burst is very difficult. It is a unique event and it is not possible to make a series of observations to reduce the error. Interference and reflections confuse the result and it is extremely difficult to determine the equipment parameters precisely, especially those pertaining to the antenna.

One challenge of performative research is that a performance is a one-time unique event. It cannot be preserved or returned to in its own form. Here, we offer a more durable artifact to preserve some aspects of the collaborative performance autoethnography we performed at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI) in 2018. We write to communicate not only what we performed during the session but also our sentiments concerning singing and playing music as autoethnography. Because so often in our work we use songs, songwriting, music, and performance; we propose rhythm, melody, and harmony as alternative acts of autoethnographic collaboration. In this way of doing autoethnography, it may be that no words are spoken. But the burden of work is shared. This is the kind of collaboration we seek … in the here and now.

This chapter outlines some of the Holocaust’s fundamental causes and characteristics, and its parallels and contrasts with other genocides. It begins by reminding readers of the profound questioning and uncertainty about human progress that emerged in the wake of the experience of National Socialism and the Holocaust, as a result of which our relationship to the modern world has changed. It notes the continuing difficulty historians, social scientists, and others face in applying general models or frameworks to explain the Holocaust, despite a growing consensus that it is neither uniquely mysterious nor a unique event. It then identifies a series of causal moments—crisis, ideology and specifically anti-Semitism, participation, total war, imperialism, and collaboration—that provide entry points to understanding the Holocaust, and at the same time illustrate the ways it mirrors and diverges from other genocides and mega-murders. It concludes with one of the Holocaust’s most distinctive features—the scale and sophistication of victim chronicles of the event.

Abstract. In November 2004, a large and variable interplanetary electric field (IEF) was felt in the reference frame of the Earth. This electric field penetrated to the magnetic equator and, when the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) was in the dusk sector, resulted in a reversal of the normal zonal component of the field. In turn, this caused a counter-electrojet (CEJ), a westward current rather than the usual eastward current. At the time of the normal pre-reversal enhancement (PRE) of the eastward field, the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observed that the westward component became even more westward. Two of the three current explanations for the PRE depend on the neutral wind patterns. However, this unique event was such that the neutral wind-driven dynamos could not have changed. The implication is that the Haerendel-Eccles mechanism, which involves partial closure of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) after sunset, must be the dominant mechanism for the PRE.
