title: 1990–91 Argentine Primera División

abstract: The 1990–91 Argentine Primera División was the 100th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. This season saw the introduction of the Apertura and Clausura system in Argentina. The season began on 20 August 1990 and ended on 30 June 1991. Newell's Old Boys won the 1990 Apertura and Boca Juniors won the 1991 Clausura. Unlike following seasons, Apertura and Clausura titles were not officially recognised by the AFA so both teams had to play a two-legged final to crown a champion for the entire season. After a 1–1 tie on aggregate, Newell's Old Boys won the championship 3–1 by penalty shoot-out. San Lorenzo won the Liguilla pre-Libertadores after beating Boca Juniors, therefore qualifying to the 1992 edition.

# 1990–91 Argentine Primera División

The **1990–91 Argentine Primera División** was the 100th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. This season saw the introduction of the Apertura and Clausura system in Argentina. The season began on 20 August 1990 and ended on 30 June 1991.

Newell's Old Boys won the 1990 Apertura and Boca Juniors won the 1991 Clausura. Unlike following seasons, Apertura and Clausura titles were not officially recognised by the AFA so both teams had to play a two-legged final to crown a champion for the entire season. After a 1–1 tie on aggregate, Newell's Old Boys won the championship 3–1 by penalty shoot-out.

San Lorenzo won the Liguilla pre-Libertadores after beating Boca Juniors, therefore qualifying to the 1992 edition.

## Competition format

The tournament for the 1990–91 season was composed of 20 teams. Each team played each other teams in a single round-robin tournament. The season was divided in two separate championships, called *Apertura* (Opening) and *Clausura* (Closing). The winning teams from each tournament played a two-legged final for the season championship and to earn one of the two berths allocated to Argentine clubs in the 1992 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berth was allocated via a direct elimination tournament between the top four (or five, depending on the outcome of the season final) teams from both Clausura and Apertura. Relegation occurred at the end of the Clausura stage, with the two teams with the worst three-year point average (Primera División competition only) being relegated to Primera B Nacional competition.

## Apertura Tournament

The "Apertura" Tournament began on 20 August 1990 and finished on 22 December 1990. Newell's Old Boys won the tournament and would play the championship final against the winner from the *Clausura* Tournament. The match played between Boca Juniors and San Lorenzo was suspended following incidents in the stands during halftime that resulted in the death of a supporter. No points were awarded to both teams.

# 2010 Continental Indoor Football League season

The **2010 Continental Indoor Football League season** was the league's fifth overall season. The regular season started on Saturday March 13 with the expansion Cincinnati Commandos defeating the Miami Valley Silverbacks 38-32, and ended with the 2010 CIFL Championship Game, on June 26, 2010, at the Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio where the Commandos defeated the Wisconsin Wolfpack 54-40.

In 2010, the league saw its size shrink again. This time it was from 8 teams to 6 teams, as Fort Wayne Freedom, Rock River Raptors and the Wheeling Wildcats folded following the 2009 season, and the Chicago Slaughter departed the league to join the Indoor Football League. The CIFL awarded the Cincinnati Commandos and Fort Wayne FireHawks expansion franchises, and the Milwaukee Bonecrushers moved to Chicago and became the Cardinals.

On May 26, 2010, it was announced that the Marion Mayhem ceased operations immediately. This made the league finish with only 5 teams, with the top 4 still making the playoffs.

## Schedule

Since the league was back to 6 teams for the first time since 2006, they did away with divisions and went back to a ten-game schedule for each team. Every team was scheduled to play a home and away game with every team except Miami Valley, as they were competing as a travel team.

### Scheduling changes

On May 26, 2010, it was announced that the Marion Mayhem ceased operations immediately. As a result of the Mayhem folding Fort Wayne, Wisconsin and Miami Valley were awarded wins for their remaining games against Marion. Fort Wayne was awarded two wins, while Wisconsin and Miami Valley each receive one win. This was the first time that a CIFL team had failed to finish a season in which it hard started.

abstract: Gabrán mac Domangairt or Gabrán the Traitor was king of Dál Riata in the mid-6th century. He is the eponymous ancestor of the Cenél nGabráin. Gabrán was the son of Domangart Réti and the father of Áedán mac Gabráin. The historical evidence for Gabrán is limited to the notice of his death in the Irish and Welsh annals. It is possible that Gabrán's death should be linked to a migration or flight from Bridei mac Maelchon, but this may be no more than coincidence.

title: Eskimo–Uralic languages

abstract: The Eskimo–Uralic hypothesis posits that the Uralic and Eskimo–Aleut language families belong to a common macrofamily. It is not generally accepted by linguists because the similarities can also be merely areal features, common to unrelated language families. In 1818, the Danish linguist Rasmus Rask grouped together the languages of Greenlandic and Finnish. The Eskimo–Uralic hypothesis was put forward by Knut Bergsland in 1959. Ante Aikio stated that it's possible that there exists some connection between the two families, but exact conclusions can't be drawn and the similarities could exist by loaning. A similar theory was suggested in 1998 by Michael Fortescue, in his book Language Relations across Bering Strait where he proposed the Uralo-Siberian theory, which, unlike the Eskimo-Uralic hypothesis includes the Yukaghir languages, argues that Uralo-Siberian influenced Chukotko-Kamchatkan and some have included Nivkh as a part of the family. At present the arguments used to defend the Eskimo-Uralic theory are insufficient to even suspect a relationship between the languages, let alone to make an affirmative case for their relationship.

In 1818, the Danish linguist Rasmus Rask grouped together the languages of Greenlandic and Finnish. The Eskimo–Uralic hypothesis was put forward by Knut Bergsland in 1959.

At present the arguments used to defend the Eskimo-Uralic theory are insufficient to even suspect a relationship between the languages, let alone to make an affirmative case for their relationship.

## History

Comparisons between Uralic and Eskimo–Aleut languages were made early. In 1746, the Danish theologian Marcus Wøldike compared Greenlandic to Hungarian. In 1818, Rasmus Rask considered Greenlandic to be related to the Uralic languages, Finnish in particular, and presented a list of lexical correspondences (Rask also considered Uralic and Altaic to be related to each other). In 1871, H. Rink had also theorized of a similar theory. In 1959, Knut Bergsland published the paper *The Eskimo–Uralic Hypothesis*, in which he, like other authors before him, presented a number of grammatical similarities and a small number of lexical correspondences.

In 1998, Michael Fortescue presented more detailed arguments in his book, *Language Relations across Bering Strait*. His title evokes Morris Swadesh's 1962 article, "Linguistic relations across the Bering Strait". Besides new proposed linguistic evidence, Fortescue (2016) presents several genetic studies that he argued to support a common origin of the included groups, with a suggested homeland in Northeast Asia.

## Proposed Evidence

A few potential lexical cognates between Proto-Uralic and Eskimo–Aleut are pointed out in Aikio (2019: 53–54). These are:

| Proto-Uralic | Proto-Eskimo |
| --- | --- |
| \*ila- ‘place under or below’ | \*at(ǝ)- ‘down’; \*alaq ‘sole’ |
| \*elä- ‘live’ | \*ǝt(ǝ)- ‘be’ |
| \*tuli- ‘come’ | \*tut- ‘arrive, land’; \*tulaɣ- |
| \*kuda ‘morning, dawn’ | \*qilaɣ- ‘sky’ |
| \*kuda- ‘weave’ | \*qilaɣ- ‘knit, weave’ |

A possible regular sound correspondence with Uralic \*-l- and Proto-Eskimo-Aleut \*-t can be argued to exist.

According to Ante Aikio The words "morning" and "weave" appear to be completely unrelated, which means there is an instance of coincidental homonymy, which very rarely happens by accident. Aikio thus stated that he believes it to be likely that there exists some connection between the two families, however exact conclusions cannot be drawn and it would not yet prove a direct relationship, as such can happen by loaning.

# Fair Admissions Campaign

The **Fair Admissions Campaign** aims to abolish the faith-based selection of pupils in state funded schools in England and Wales.

## Aims

The Fair Admissions Campaign aims to open all state funded schools in England and Wales to all pupils regardless of the religion of pupils or their parents and views the current admissions system as unfair. Although some of the supporting members of the Fair Admissions Campaign are opposed to state-funded faith schools the Fair Admissions Campaign itself is not.

## History

Many of the organizations which would later become supporting members of the Fair Admissions campaign wrote a letter to the Secretary of State for Education on 16 December 2012 which called for end to faith-based selection policies at English and Welsh state funded schools.

The Fair Admissions campaign was officially launched in June 2013.

## Support

A ComRes poll conducted on behalf of the Accord Coalition indicated that 73% of British adults agreed that 'State funded schools, including state funded faith schools, should not be allowed to select or discriminate against prospective pupils on religious grounds in their admissions policy.'

The Fair Admission Campaign is supported by both local and national organizations including the Accord Coalition, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, the British Humanist Association, British Muslims for Secular Democracy, ICoCo Foundation, the Centre for Studies on Inclusive Education, Ekklesia, the Hindu Academy, the Liberal Democrat Education Association, Richmond Inclusive Schools Campaign, the Runnymede Trust, the Socialist Educational Association, the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches.

On 8 October 2013 an early day motion was tabled by Barry Sheerman, the motion currently has 12 signatories which include MP's from the Labour Party, Liberal Democrats and Green Party of England and Wales.

## Research

The Fair Admissions Campaign aims to generate a map of primary and secondary schools in the England and Wales based on their religious admissions policies and how representative of the local area the intake of the school is socio-economically.

## Law regarding religious selective admissions

Section 85 of the Equality Act 2010 provides protection for pupils against discrimination based on protected characteristics, which includes religion and belief, in the admission of the pupil to the school. However there are exemptions for selective admissions based on religion or belief for schools in England and Wales which are :

* Foundation or Voluntary schools (including Voluntary Aided and Voluntary Controlled schools) with religious character
* Listed on the register of independent schools for England or Wales and it is recorded on the register that the school has a religious ethos
* A grant-aided school that is conducted in the interest or a church or denominational body.

***Eskimotive*** is a 1928 animated short film by Pat Sullivan Studios, starring Felix the Cat. The short was originally silent, but was re-released by Copley Pictures, leaving the short with sound and switching production credits from EW Hammons to Jacques Kopstein, the person who provided the music for the short when re-released.

## Plot summary

Felix and a little black kitten are outdoors blowing bubbles. After blowing a few, Felix is asked by the kitten to make one to ride in. Felix then makes the bubble, and the kitten starts to float away in it. Much to their surprise, the bubble is too difficult to burst, and Felix goes on to chase his airborne companion for hundreds of miles.

Finally the bubble reaches the Arctic and settles to the surface. Felix at last opens the sphere and frees the kitten. While they are traveling home, darkness falls, and the two cats are separated without realizing. To deal with the situation, Felix blows lantern bubbles to brighten the place. The Arctic became a beautiful lighted paradise, but a local bear does not appreciate it and therefore goes to confront Felix. To defend himself against the fearsome bruin, Felix shields himself in a bubble. The bear then pushes Felix's bubble into a hole in the ice cap where it sinks into the water. Once more, Felix feels he is untouchable until an eel is able to penetrate his protective orb. Although other eels pack themselves into the bubble, Felix is able to slip out. He then carries the eel-filled bubble all the way home.

Upon reaching a seafood store in a city, Felix sells the eels he has, receiving a sackful of cash. While celebrating his earnings, he suddenly remembers about his little buddy who is still missing. Lost in some wilderness, the kitten is weeping and does not know what to do. Felix gives a loud call, and the little cat, though faraway, is able to hear it. The kitten eventually reaches the city and embraces Felix.

# Equity Index (New Zealand)

**Equity Index** (**EQI**) is a way the Ministry of Education uses to calculate equity funding for schools in New Zealand. It replaced the socioeconomic decile system, which was phased out from January 2023.

## Background

In September 2019 the Sixth Labour Government announced the decile system would be replaced by a new "Equity Index" which would come into effect as early as 2021.

In mid-May 2022, the 2022 New Zealand budget allocated $8 million for the capital cost and $293 million for operating costs for the new Equity Index, but no date of introduction was given.

## Implementation

In July 2022, their Equity Index rating numbers were advised to New Zealand (state and state-integrated) schools to be introduced in 2023. The Statistics Department utilised 37 socio-economic factors for each pupil, including both parents' educational levels, imprisonment data and benefit history plus Oranga Tamariki notifications and student transience to calculate a school index number between 344 and 569 for each school, with a national average of 463 and a higher index number meaning more EQI index funding. The New Zealand educational system was claimed to be "one of the world's least equal education systems" (actually 33 out of 38 in the OECD).

title: Fantail Falls

abstract: Fantail Falls is a waterfall in Mount Aspiring National Park, Westland District, New Zealand. The waterfall is in the Haast Pass, between the Gates of Haast and the pass itself, at an altitude of 450 metres (1,476 ft). It marks where Fantail Creek enters the Haast River, with a drop of 23 metres (75 ft). Its name derives from the way it spreads out into the shape of a fan at its base, rather than any similarity to the tail of the native bird known as the fantail. For many years, beginning in the late 1930s, the waterfall had a hydroelectric power plant at its base, which provided power for roadwork machinery being used to construct a road from Makarora to Jackson Bay. The road was commissioned by the Ministry of Public Works and was the first road over the Haast Pass. It was not completed until 1960. A 5-minute wheelchair-accessible bush walk leads to the riverbank opposite the waterfall from a carpark on State Highway 6. In addition, a steep 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) walk to the Brewster Hut, serviced by the Department of Conservation, starts at the base of the falls. The walk to the falls passes through almost pure silver beech forest, as these falls are at a higher altitude than the other Haast Pass waterfalls, Roaring Billy Falls and Thunder Creek Falls, which are set in mixed beech/podocarp forest. Underneath the beech canopy the forest floor is dominated by prickly shield fern, horopito, and broadleaf.

For many years, beginning in the late 1930s, the waterfall had a hydroelectric power plant at its base, which provided power for roadwork machinery being used to construct a road from Makarora to Jackson Bay.

The walk to the falls passes through almost pure silver beech (*Lophozonia menziesii*) forest, as these falls are at a higher altitude than the other Haast Pass waterfalls, Roaring Billy Falls (80 m above sea level) and Thunder Creek Falls (110 m), which are set in mixed beech/podocarp forest. Underneath the beech canopy the forest floor is dominated by prickly shield fern (*Polystichum vestitum*), horopito (*Pseudowintera colorata*), and broadleaf (*Griselinia littoralis*).

# Gakuryū Ishii

**Gakuryu Ishii** (石井 岳龍, *Ishii Gakuryū*, born January 15, 1957), formerly known as **Sogo Ishii** (石井 聰亙, *Ishii Sōgo*), is a Japanese filmmaker known for his stylistic punk films, which helped spark the cyberpunk movement in Japan. A number of contemporary filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino have cited Ishii's films as an influence.

## Early life

Born **Toshihiro Ishii**, (石井 聰亙), he grew up in Hakata, and because of all the American military bases in the area, he was exposed to a lot of American rock music. He spent his teenage years a part of the punk rock movement that grew in that region, singing and playing the guitar.

In 1977 he enrolled at Nihon University in Tokyo, and founded *Kyōei-sha* (Crazy Film Group). He borrowed equipment from the school to shoot his own 8mm and 16mm short films, which featured the style and philosophy of his punk roots. It was difficult for a young person in Japan to make films during that period, and he decided to skip the traditional corporate ladder route to film directing by just making the films himself.

## Career

During his first year of college, one of Ishii's short films called *Panic High School* got noticed by Nikkatsu, a movie studio known at the time for its pink films. Nikkatsu provided the funding to adapt the short into a feature-length film. Yukihiro Sawada co-directed the film with Ishii, who was still only a sophomore in college. It was around this time that he started going by Sogo Ishii.

Ishii directed his second feature *Crazy Thunder Road* as his senior thesis for university, and the 16mm film was subsequently bought by Toei, who distributed it in 35mm. As his fame started to grow, a popular punk band named Anarchy hired Ishii to shoot a promo for them, which resulted in a 10-minute film called *Anarchy '80 Ishin*. He also adapted Katsuhiro Otomo's manga *Run* into the 30-minute film *Shuffle*. He continued to use the university's film equipment as long as he could, but since he had no intentions of actually graduating, they eventually kicked him out.

In 1982, Ishii directed *Burst City*, an action film about a wild gang of quasi-mutant bikers who ride into a town staging protests against the construction of a nearby nuclear reactor plant. The film starred members of Japanese punk bands The Roosters, The Rockers, The Stalin and Inu, among others. He became a favorite among rebel and punk cineastes in Japan. The film is also credited as a precursor to the underground Japanese cyberpunk movement that emerged later in the decade.

Ishii took a short break from filmmaking in 1983 to form a band called Sogo Ishii and the Bacillus Army, which recorded one album, *Asia Strikes Back*. He also created a 30 min film for the band that was played during their tour. In 1984 he released his fourth feature film, *The Crazy Family*.

After the release of *The Crazy Family*, there was a period of ten years where Ishii couldn't get any funding to make another feature film. His previous films had been very popular with foreign film festival audiences, but not with Japanese ones: they didn't understand his films. He spent his time during this gap making shorts, music videos, and concert films, including ones for The Roosters and Einstürzende Neubauten.

Finally in 1994, he was hired to direct the feature film *Angel Dust*. Around this time he started to change his filmmaking style partly because he wanted to challenge himself to something new, but also because it had been very difficult to find funding for the types of films he made before. During this period he directed two films that were less plot driven: *August in the Water* and *Labyrinth of Dreams*.

The actor Tadanobu Asano teamed up with Ishii in 1996 to form the experimental noise band MACH-1.67, which would later compose some of the music for the film *Electric Dragon 80.000 V*. Ishii directed two films back to back: *Gojoe*, a 2000 action film about 12th century Japan, and *Electric Dragon 80.000 V*, a 2001 black-and-white 55-minute film starring Tadanobu Asano and Masatoshi Nagase. These two films combined the abstract style of his recent films with the intense energy of his early works. Ishii himself described this transition: "When I was young, all I could think about was speed. Then I wanted to start to slow things down a bit—now both are important." While *Electric Dragon* was praised by critics, both films were huge financial flops: so much so that they put Suncent Cinema Works out of business.

Those films were followed by another ten-year gap in making feature films. Ishii started teaching film at Kobe Design University in 2006, and spent those ten years focused on teaching and experimenting with digital filmmaking by creating music videos, television episodes, and experimental shorts.

In 2012, he returned with *Isn't Anyone Alive?*, changing his name from Sogo Ishii to Gakuryu Ishii (*Gakuryu* meaning *dragon*). In 2013 he released *The Flower of Shanidar*, which stars Gō Ayano and Hana Kuroki,. In 2016, Ishii released the erotic fantasy film *Bitter Honey* (*Mitsu no aware*), based on the novel by Murō Saisei, about the relationship between a dying writer, played by Ren Osugi, and his goldfish who takes the form of a beautiful girl, played by Fumi Nikaidō. In June 2018 he released *Punk Samurai Slash Down*, which was produced by NTT DoCoMo.
