# Falké Bacharou

**Falké Bacharou** is a Nigerien politician. A member of the Democratic and Social Convention (CDS-Rahama), he was Second Vice-President of the National Assembly of Niger from 2004 to 2009.

## Political career

Bacharou was elected to the National Assembly in the February 1993 parliamentary election as a CDS candidate in Dosso constituency. He then served as Secretary-General of the Presidency under President Mahamane Ousmane. He was the campaign director for the CDS during the January 1995 parliamentary election. After the CDS lost the election, depriving President Ousmane of a parliamentary majority and forcing him to cohabit with the opposition, Bacharou alleged that irregularities had affected the results. Ousmane was ousted a year later in a January 1996 military coup. Bacharou was one of those arrested following an opposition demonstration on January 11, 1997.

Bacharou was elected to the National Assembly in the December 2004 parliamentary election from Dosso, and he was elected as the Second Vice-President of the National Assembly for the parliamentary term that followed.

Bacharou was a National Vice-President of the CDS, representing Dosso, until he was replaced by Maïdagi Alambaye at the party's sixth congress on September 1, 2007.

Bacharou was again elected to the National Assembly in the January 2011 parliamentary election. When the Bureau of the National Assembly was elected in April 2011, the post of Second Vice-President, reserved for the opposition, was left vacant. Subsequently Bacharou was elected as Second Vice-President of the National Assembly.

# Francisco Solano (soldier)

**Francisco María Solano Ortiz de Rozas** (10 October 1768 – 29 May 1808), 2nd Marqués de Socorro and 6th Marqués de la Solana, was a Spanish military officer.

Solano was one of the three captains-general slain by the Spanish population following the Madrid Uprising (2 May 1808), the two others being Filanghieri in Galicia and Count Torre del Fresno in Estremadura.

## Early career

Solano was promoted to captain of Cavalry in June 1784. He saw action in Spanish America and in two campaigns in Oran. He was promoted to colonel in April 1792. He saw further action in the War of the Pyrenees (1793–July 1795) and in the War of the Oranges (1801).

In October 1802, Solano was promoted to lieutenant general and in November 1805 he was appointed military governor of Cádiz, where he set up free schools based on the methods of the Swiss pedagogue and educational reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi.

## Peninsular War

In 1807, following the signing of the Treaty of Fontainebleau, allowing for the invasion of Portugal, Solano led one of the three auxiliary Spanish corps that aided General Junot's Army of the Gironde in invading that country. Setting out from Badajoz with 9,500 troops, Solano was to take the garrison town of Elvas and then to march on Lisbon along the left bank of the Tagus. However, Solano did not enter Portugal until 2 December, three days after Junot had entered Lisbon.

Following the Madrid Uprising (2 May 1808), on 27 May, Solano was killed by an angry mob that suspected him of collaborating with the French, especially with the French fleet moored in the Bay of Cadiz. Escaping an initial attempt on his life, he took refuge at a friend's house, from which he was captured and led to an improvised gallows. On the way there, he was stabbed to death.

title: Bathurst-Ilford Road

abstract: Bathurst-Ilford Road is a 72.0-kilometre (44.7 mi) New South Wales country road linking Ilford to the regional hub of Bathurst.

# Bathurst-Ilford Road

**Bathurst-Ilford Road** (known as Sofala Road south of the Turon River and Ilford-Sofala Road north of the Turon River) is a 72.0-kilometre (44.7 mi) New South Wales country road linking Ilford to the regional hub of Bathurst.

## Route

Bathurst-Ilford Road commences at the intersection with Castlereagh Highway in Ilford and heads in a south-westerly direction, eventually crossing the Turon River and passing the historic town of Sofala. It then continues in a southerly direction and passes through Wattle Flat and Peel, before eventually ending at the intersection with Great Western Highway in Kelso, just east of Bathurst, which itself acts as a major highway hub with the Great Western, Mid-Western Highway and Mitchell Highways – and O'Connell Road to Oberon – meet.

It is fully sealed over its entire length, but many road maps still show sections of it as unsealed.

In conjunction with Bylong Valley Way from Castlereagh Highway near Ilford to Golden Highway near Sandy Hollow, this very quiet and scenic route provides a leisurely alternative to going through Sydney to travel between the Hunter Region and Bathurst.

## History

The passing of the *Main Roads Act of 1924* through the Parliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through the Main Roads Board (MRB). Main Road No. 54 was declared along this road on 8 August 1928, from the intersection with Mudgee-Ilford Road (today Castlereagh Highway) in Ilford, via Sofala to Bathurst (and continuing southwards eventually to Goulburn); with the passing of the *Main Roads (Amendment) Act of 1929* to provide for additional declarations of State Highways and Trunk Roads, this was amended to Trunk Road 54 on 8 April 1929.

The passing of the *Roads Act of 1993* through the Parliament of New South Wales updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, the road today retains its declaration as part of Main Road 54, between Ilford and Kelso.

title: 1987 Southport state by-election

text:
# 1987 Southport state by-election

A by-election was held in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland seat of Southport on 20 June 1987. It was triggered by the death of sitting National Party member Doug Jennings on 9 April 1987, which until the death of Duncan Pegg in 2021, remained the most recent time a sitting Queensland MP has died. The seat was formerly a Liberal seat until 1980, and the by-election took place in the midst of the Joh for Canberra push. However, the campaign dwelled almost entirely on local matters.

## Candidates

The Nationals selected Mick Veivers, a rugby league identity and acknowledged Sir Joh supporter, while the Liberals selected Keith Thompson, a City of Gold Coast alderman. Perennial independent candidate William Aabraham-Steer, who had contested McPherson and Moncrieff at various federal elections, also contested.

## Results

The seat was retained by the National Party with the election of candidate and Australian former rugby league international Mick Veivers.

# Atrimitra idae

***Atrimitra idae***, common name **Ida's miter**, is a species of medium-sized sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mitridae, the miters.

## Distribution

This miter lives from Northern California, United States, to Baja California, Mexico.

## Description

The shell of this species is strong and heavy. The shells of adults vary from 20 to 60 mm in length. There are three folds on the columella.

The shell itself is a pinkish-tan color, but in life the shell is covered in a strong black periostracum.

The body of the animal is all pure white other than its black eye spots.

## Life habits

This miter lays egg capsules attached to rock surfaces. They are yellow or transparent, and about 8mm high. In laboratory conditions, females have been observed depositing over 90 egg capsules in 4 days, and 173 in 17 days. Each capsule contains hundreds of 0.2mm eggs. Veliger larvae hatch from the capsule after ~24 days, depending on temperature.

The species is a specialized carnivore, and can live for weeks without food.

## Etymology

*Atrimitra idae* was described as *Mitra idae* by James Cosmo Melvill in 1893, who named the species after conchologist Ida Shepard Oldroyd.

# Astronaut (song)

"**Astronaut**" is the third single from Simple Plan's fourth studio album, *Get Your Heart On!*. In December 2012, the song was played in Earth orbit by astronaut Chris Hadfield.

## Music video

The music video was directed by Mark Staubach and premiered on 19 September 2011. It was filmed in the desert of California. The clip opens with a message that read, "Being human is the most terrible loneliness in the universe" and continues to show a lone man exploring an empty space. He keeps looking around and around for something, or rather someone, to fill a void in his heart. The female lead for the clip is Caitlin O'Connor, a model/actress, who has previously played in music videos for Michael Bublé and New Found Glory.

The song was nominated in the category Best International Video by a Canadian band to 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards.

In the video, the man, played by Nick Gamez, is seen with a name tag that says P. Cunningham. The same name was used for the drunk driver in the music video for "Untitled".

title: Beanball

abstract: "Beanball" is a colloquialism used in baseball, for a ball thrown at an opposing player with the intention of striking them such as to cause harm, often connoting a throw at the player's head. A pitcher who throws beanballs often is known as a "headhunter". The term may be applied to any sport in which a player on one team regularly attempts to throw a ball toward the general vicinity of a player of the opposite team, but is typically expected not to hit that player with the ball. In cricket, the equivalent term is "beamer". Some people use the term "beaner", though that usage is discouraged due to its use as an ethnic slur in the United States.

# Beanball

"**Beanball**" is a colloquialism used in baseball, for a ball thrown at an opposing player with the intention of striking them such as to cause harm, often connoting a throw at the player's head (or "bean" in old-fashioned slang). A pitcher who throws beanballs often is known as a "headhunter". The term may be applied to any sport in which a player on one team regularly attempts to throw a ball toward the general vicinity of a player of the opposite team, but is typically expected not to hit that player with the ball. In cricket, the equivalent term is "beamer". Some people use the term "beaner", though that usage is discouraged due to its use as an ethnic slur in the United States.

## Baseball

In baseball, a beanball is a pitch, similar to a brushback pitch but actually intended to hit the batter as it is thrown at the head. It is rarely used as a strategic weapon, and is usually an act of anger and frustration; however, batters facing known headhunters are given a reason to fear a beanball and may alter their approach to hitting in the interests of self-protection, perhaps giving some strategic advantage to the pitcher. Some pitchers have been known to throw beanballs in response to giving up home runs. Teams with heated rivalries often find several beanballs exchanged in a season.

Beanballs can sometimes lead to fights, charging the mound, and bench-clearing brawls. Because of the hazards of the pitch and the possibility of fights, umpires will now often warn teams, after beanballs or fights have occurred, that any pitcher who throws at a batter will be ejected from the game with a mandatory one-day suspension for the pitcher's manager. Throwing at batters can sometimes lead to suspension for a number of games as well. Managers may also be ejected if, in the umpire's judgment, they encouraged their pitcher to throw a beanball.

Several players' careers have been impaired or derailed after being struck with a beanball. Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane was knocked unconscious and later hospitalized for 7 days in 1937, and never played another game. In 1941, Dodgers outfielder Pete Reiser was hospitalized for a month, one of numerous injuries which shortened his career. Lou Boudreau played only sporadically after being beaned in 1951, and retired the following season. Tony Conigliaro missed over a year after being hit in the eye, and his vision later deteriorated to the point where he was forced to retire. Dickie Thon returned from a gruesome beaning in 1984, but never matched his earlier success. On September 28, 1995, Kirby Puckett, the superstar outfielder of the Minnesota Twins, was struck in the cheek by a Dennis Martínez fastball, breaking his jaw and loosening two teeth. It would be his last game; during spring training the following year he developed glaucoma, which ended his career. In 2005, the Cubs' Adam Greenberg was hit in the head with the first pitch that he faced in his major league career. Ron Santo, who thought he had lost an eye when his cheekbone was broken by a pitch in 1966, rushed back to the lineup. He described his attitude: "It was like, 'Here, hit me again.' I didn't have any fear. I just went on. When you get older, maybe fear does set in. Nobody will admit that, but it does happen." Don Zimmer, who was nearly killed by a beanball in 1953 and had four metal buttons surgically implanted in his skull, recounted, "It's not a case of being tougher than anybody else... You never know how you're going to react until you come back and play again."

Only one player has died after being hit in the head. Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman was hit by a pitch thrown by submarine pitcher and noted headhunter Carl Mays on August 16, 1920 at the Polo Grounds in New York. He died 12 hours later and is noted as the only player to have been killed by a pitch. The following spring, Chapman's teammates experimented with leather helmets similar to those being used by football players; that year's Spalding Guide declared, "There is nothing 'sissy' about it." Catcher Roger Bresnahan is cited as one of the first players to construct and wear a helmet, in 1907.

Starting in 1956, Major League Baseball required that all batters either wear batting helmets or protective plastic liners underneath their caps. Full helmets were made mandatory in 1971, and wearing a model with an earflap has been required since 1983. Minor leaguers (as well as most college, high school, and youth leagues) must wear helmets with a flap covering each ear.

# 1st Indian Cavalry Division

The **1st Indian Cavalry Division** was a division of the British Indian Army which was formed at the outbreak of the First World War. It served on the Western Front, and was renamed the **4th Cavalry Division** on 26 November 1916. In March 1918, the 4th Cavalry Division was disbanded; the British units remained in France and the Indian units were sent to Egypt to help form the 1st Mounted Division.

## History

The division sailed for France from Bombay on 16 October 1914 under the command of Major General Hew Fanshawe. The division was re-named the 4th Cavalry Division in November 1916. During the war, the division served in the trenches as infantry. A large number of early officer casualties affected the division's later performance. British officers who understood the language, customs and psychology of their men could not be quickly replaced and the alien environment of the Western Front affected the soldiers. The division served in France and Flanders, held in reserve for the expected breakthrough. It provided dismounted parties for trench duty and in 1917 fought as a division in the Battle of Cambrai during the German counter-stroke of 30 November – 3 December. In March 1918, the division was broken up and the Indian regiments were combined in Egypt with the Yeomanry Mounted Division to form the 1st Mounted Division (later the 4th Cavalry Division).

# Astronaut Center of China

The **China Astronautic Scientific Research and Training Center (**中国航天员科研训练中心), usually referred to as the **Astronaut Center of China** (中国航天员中心 - ACC), located at the Beijing Space City, is the principal institution in charge of the training of astronauts and of researching all matters related to crewed space travel. It is dually affiliated to the Central Military Commission Equipment Development Department and the People's Liberation Army Aerospace Force. It is the third specialized research and training center for astronauts in the world after the Soviet/Russian Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center and the United States's Houston Space Center. Known as "the cradle of China's space heroes", the center's motto is "From here into the Universe" (“从這里走向太空”).

## History

In 1958, China began research on aerospace biomedical engineering. At that time, space pioneers Qian Xuesen, Zhao Jiuzhang and others were commissioned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish the "581 Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences", which was a high-altitude physiological research group explicitly intended to study "the development and training of biological life support systems in rocket flight". In 1960, this "High Altitude Physiology Research Group" was expanded into the "Space Biology Research Laboratory" to carry out space biology research and build a series of laboratories. In addition, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Academy of Military Medical Sciences were also engaged in aerospace medical engineering research.

In 1968, during the Cultural Revolution, Qian Xuesen, at the time establishing the general design office for spacecrafts, made a report to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, recommending the establishment of an Institute of Space Medical Engineering. With the approval of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, on April 1, 1968, relevant units of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Academy of Military Medical Sciences jointly established the "Institute of Aerospace Medical Engineering" in Beijing, also known as the **507th Research Institute of the PLA**, what is now considered the direct ancestor of the ACC. It was affiliated to the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense.

The 507 Institute had a staff of 1,265, with He Quanxuan as the director, Zhu Yu as the political commissar, and Huo Junfeng, Chen Xin and Shi Yunfeng as the deputy directors. In the next three years, the institute continuously moved its location. In 1969, it moved from the Changping branch of Peking University to the Beijing Institute of Technology, and in 1970 it moved to the old site of Beijing Agricultural University. In 1971, the State Council of the People's Republic of China approved the establishment of a special scientific research area for the Institute of Aerospace Medical Engineering. The institute then built an experimental area in the land set aside. By December 1978, the Beijing Agricultural University wanted to move back to its original location. The 507 institute then set up 33 tents on the new experimental site, and the various teams moved into the tents to work, maintaining scientific research and production. On June 25, 1986, the laboratory building of the institute was completed, and since then the institute has been at its current location.

In 1970, the Central Military Commission approved the development mission of "Shuguang" 1 manned spacecraft, and planned to send China's first astronaut into space in 10 years. This was known as the "714" project. The institute participated in the research tasks of the project until the project was discontinued in 1978. After 1981, the institute started carrying out again research on manned space technology, research on the human body in zero-G environments, and satellite-borne biological research. In October 1990, China's "Jianbing" 1 satellite used a biological capsule developed by the institute to carry mice for an 8-day orbital flight. This was China's first advanced orbital animal space flight test.

On 8 January 1992, the China Manned Space Program was started. The institute (then known in English as the "Institute of Space Medical Engineering", ISME) was made responsible for the astronaut system and the environmental control and life support subsystems of the spacecraft, among the seven major systems of the China Manned Space Program.

In 2003, China's first manned space mission "Shenzhou 5" was successful. The space suit worn by Shenzhou 5 astronaut Yang Liwei was embroidered with the logo of the Institute of Space Medical Engineering. This was the only time this logo appeared in a manned space mission.

In 2005, the Institute of Space Medical Engineering was renamed to its current name of **China Astronautic Research and Training Center**. The ACC is a comprehensive research institution that combines medical and engineering research for the sake of manned spaceflight in China.

As one of the main participating units of China Manned Space Program, it is responsible for astronaut selection and training, medical supervision, medical support, development of space suits and space food, spacecraft environmental control and life support system development, large-scale ground simulation tests, and training equipment development. In a quirk of IP law, the ACC also owns the trademark rights for the Chinese astronauts' portraits, signatures, and manned spaceflight logos. The logo of the China Astronaut Research and Training Center has been embroidered on the space suits of every manned mission since"Shenzhou 6".

In 2008, with the approval of relevant organizations of the International Astronomical Union, the National Astronomical Observatory named an asteroid discovered on January 2, 1997, the "Astronaut Center Planetoid", IAU number 35313.

In 2023, the ACC announced it has managed full 100% regeneration of oxygen supplies and 95% recovery of water resources in the Tianggong space station, which reduces resupply needs, and is a critical advance for any future long duration space flights.

## Structure

As of 2005, the center has 3 scientific research areas and 2 living areas. As well as its Beijing HQ, the ACC has labs in Shenzhen.

As of 2015, the ACC is also a degree-granting educational institution, and may confer master's degrees in two disciplines: "Human-Machine Interface and Environmental Engineering" (人机与环境工程) and "Special Medicine" (特种医学).

The China Astronautic Scientific Research and Training Center was originally affiliated to the General Armament Department of the People's Liberation Army. In the 2015 military reform, the General Armament Department was abolished and the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission was established. The China Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center was successively transferred to the dual authority of the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission and the Aerospace Systems Department of the Strategic Support Forces, and is as of 2024 a directly subordinate unit under the Aerospace Force.

title: Bartomeu Rosselló-Pòrcel

abstract: Bartomeu Rosselló-Pòrcel was a Spanish Balearic poet, who wrote in Catalan. He was born to a modest family and completed his secondary school education as a student of Gabriel Alomar i Villalong in l'Institut de Palma. He completed his bachelor's degree in arts and philosophy in Barcelona where he met his lifelong friend and renowned Catalan poet, Salvador Espriu. Rosselló-Pòrcel dedicated 'Imitació del Foc' to Espriu. He completed his PhD degree in Madrid. In 1933, he embarked on a university Mediterranean cruise with Espriu and two of his other colleagues, touring Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, Rhodes, and Palestine. When in Palestine, he and Espriu heard what may have been the last records of Qatalanit, a Jewish diasporic language also known as Judeo-Catalan. In the final days of his trip, he fell ill with tuberculosis. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 24.

# Fernand-Marie-Eugène Le Gout-Gérard

**Fernand-Marie-Eugène Le Gout-Gérard** was born in Saint-Lô in 1856 and died on 4 August 1924. He was a French painter mainly of seascapes.

## Biography

Taught at the Saint-Lô college he became a tax collector. In around 1890 he discovered Concarneau and at the age of 33 abandoned his career and took up painting. Subsequently he became a member of the "Société nationale des Beaux-Arts'" and the London '"Pastel Society". In 1903 he moved to Concarneau and became known as a marine painter particularly of the ports and markets of Brittany. He was painter, watercolourist and designer. His house, the villa *Ty Ker Moor*, became a meeting place of the artists known as the "Groupe de Concarneau". He painted market scenes, fairs, and the returning fishing vessels; scenes of everyday Breton life.

## Some of his paintings

In 1899 Legout-Gérard exhibited the painting "Derrière la ville close (Concarneau, temps gris)" to the Paris salon (La Société nationale des Beaux-Arts on the Champ-de-Mars). This painting was purchased by the state and in 1901 his painting "L'entrée du Vieux bassin" was also purchased by the state when shown at that year's salon.

Other paintings by Legout-Gérard include "Le marché à Concarneau", "Le quai Pénéroff", "Thoniers dans la baie du soir", "Etretat", "Thoniers, soleil couchant" and "Le marché à Quingamp". Gout-Gérard involved himself closely in the affairs of Concarneau. He was the president of the "Comité de la fête des Filets bleus" an organization which strove to improve the lot of the local fisherman and took an active interest in preserving Concarneau's ramparts. Apart from his Brittany paintings he painted in Normandy, Venice, Greece, and North Africa. An exhibition of his work was staged in 2010 at the Musée du Faouët.

# Astronaut (2019 film)

***Astronaut*** is a 2019 Canadian drama film written and directed by Shelagh McLeod and starring Richard Dreyfuss. It is McLeod's first feature-length film.

## Cast

## Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics, with Richard Dreyfuss' performance receiving praise. As of October 2021, 65% of the 55 reviews compiled by review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes are positive, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "*Astronaut* can't quite escape the gravitational pull of its story's sentimental overtones, but Richard Dreyfuss keeps the film in a pleasantly diverting orbit."

Mark Kemode's film of the week in The Guardian British daily newspaper, stating "this wistful drama from Shelagh McLeod (her directorial feature debut) may not be earth-shattering, yet it retains the power to charm, thanks in large part to a central performance by Richard Dreyfuss that ranks among his best work...it’s Dreyfuss who carries the movie, pulling us over the cracks in the narrative, drawing us into his world, providing a much-needed element of magic."

Variety found the film not believable, warning viewers to "lower your expectations", and the cinematography "flat"; yet concluded that the director had "deliver\[ed\] in the inspiration department". The Hollywood Reporter said that McLeod's inexperience as a director resulted in the script feeling "little bald, with thinly rendered characters and a dramatic tempo that rarely gets into high gear", but ultimately finding it to be a "respectable effort overall" for a debut director.

Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter also had this to say of the film: "credit is due to (Richie) Lawrence, who breathes life into the kind of clean-cut, peachy-keen, elder-respecting grandchild archetype not seen onscreen since Hollywood discovered the surly teenager. The 71-year-old Dreyfuss gives a worthy autumnal performance, low on vanity, more actor than star. His brooding role requires him to dial down his signature live-wire energy, though McLeod indulges him with a few pleasing bursts of the old manic, fast-talking intensity. At times, Angus could almost be an older cousin of Roy Neary from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, still obsessively watching the skies, still dreaming of the stars."

# Bartomeu Terradas

**Bartomeu Brutau Terradas**, sometimes written as **Bartolomé Terradas** (1874-1948), was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for FC Barcelona in the turn of the century. He was treasurer and later the second president in the club's history. He was one of the most important figures in the amateur beginnings of FC Barcelona, being among the twelve founders of the club in 1899, and then serving the club as a player, winning the 1900–01 Copa Macaya, which was the club's first piece of silverware.

## Playing career

Born in Barcelona, Terradas attended the founding meeting which formalized the establishment of the club, held at the Gimnasio Solé on 29 November 1899.

He then become one of the first footballers of the newly formed FC Barcelona, playing as a midfielder, making his debut against a team that consisted of members of the British colony living in Barcelona, on 8 December 1899, at the old Bonanova Velodrome. Only ten players played, as no more were available, and the British were defeated 1–0.

## Executive career

On 25 April 1901, Terradas became the president of Barcelona, following the resignation of Walter Wild. The dire economic situation forced him to deal with various difficult situations. He became the first patron of FC Barcelona, with a contribution of 1,400 pesetas, saving the club from bankruptcy. During his presidency, he contributed to the creation of the Catalan Football Federation, which brought together all the Catalan clubs, except Espanyol and FC Internacional, which were later incorporated. During his mandate, he approved the formation of a second and a third squad.

One of his main achievements was getting the funds to construct the second sports field in the club's history. Terradas created the club's first sports committee, formed by Gamper, Meyer, and Viderkher. In addition to being president, he kept representing FC Barcelona on the field, which was common at the time, being a member of the Barcelona team that won the club's first piece of silverware, the 1900–01 Copa Macaya, even netting once, in an 18–0 win over Tarragona.

In the following year, however, his father died and he had to take over the family business, thus leaving the office on 5 September 1902. He chaired the club for 507 days. He retired as a player in 1903, having played 31 matches for FC Barcelona. In September 1903, he was elected as a member, and a year later he became vice president. He started to move away from Barça in 1905. When the professionalization of the club and the players led Terradas to feel that he was losing the initial concept of the club.

title: Ballets suédois

abstract: The Ballets Suédois was a predominantly Swedish dance ensemble based in Paris that, under the direction of Rolf de Maré (1888–1964), performed throughout Europe and the United States between 1920 and 1925, rightfully earning the reputation as a "synthesis of modern art". The Ballets Suédois created pieces that negotiated new terms of the post-World War I European imaginary by combining forms of “dance, drama, painting, poetry, and music with acrobatics, circus, film, and pantomime”. Between 1920 and 1924, the ensemble performed 24 creative pieces, totaling 2,678 performances in 274 cities throughout twelve countries. The collaboration of the choreography of Jean Börlin, the artistic direction of de Maré, and the aesthetic framework of Fernand Léger, provided a rich intercultural cross-section of avant-garde performance in interwar Europe. The company collaborated with some of the top creative talents in Paris for story creation, set design, and music composition. These included the poets Blaise Cendrars, Paul Claudel, Cocteau and Ricciotti Canudo; the composers Auric, Honegger, Milhaud, Cole Porter, Poulenc and Satie; and the artists de Chirico, Fernand Léger, and Francis Picabia. Visual design was a strong element in the company's productions, sometimes overpowering the dancing. One of the most striking designs was created by Andrée Parr for L'homme et son désir (1921). The four-tiered stage was occupied by symbolic figures such as the black-robed Hours of the Night, the Moon, and her reflection. Dancers representing musical instruments wore fanciful headdresses and masks that concealed their faces and gave them the look of abstractions. Conceived by Cocteau as a satirical celebration of the bourgeois and the banal, Les mariés de la Tour Eiffel (1921) depicted a wedding party set on a terrace of the Eiffel Tower on Bastille Day. A photographer tries to take pictures, but out of his camera emerge an ostrich, a bathing beauty, and a lion; meanwhile, gramophones at either side of the stage comment ironically on the action in the fashion of a Greek chorus. The dancers were encased in elaborate costumes and masks that made it hard for them to hear the music which united the efforts of five members of Les Six: Auric, Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc, and Germaine Tailleferre. Börlin's interest in primitive cultures, which was shared by many artists of the early 20th century, inspired La création du monde (1923). Its source, an African creation myth, was reflected in Milhaud's jazz score and Léger's designs, but most of the choreography was couched in the academic ballet technique. Börlin added a few original touches, however, such as the heron-dancers who moved on stilts. The company's last production was the Dadaist ballet Relâche (1924), whose title means a cancelled performance. There was no recognizable classical dancing in this ballet, the cast of which included a fireman, an elegant lady, and nine men who at one point doffed their evening clothes to reveal their long underwear. The backdrop, designed by Picabia, consisted of row upon row of automobile headlamps, which were brightened and dimmed during the performance. René Clair's film Entr'acte, the first to be used in a ballet, was played during the intermission. Following a series of random images, among them the artists Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp playing chess, it culminated with the mock funeral of Börlin, which turns into a comic chase when the hearse runs away.

The **Ballets Suédois** (French pronunciation: \[sɥe.dwa\]) was a predominantly Swedish dance ensemble based in Paris that, under the direction of Rolf de Maré (1888–1964), performed throughout Europe and the United States between 1920 and 1925, rightfully earning the reputation as a "synthesis of modern art" (Baer 10).

The Ballets Suédois created pieces that negotiated new terms of the post-World War I European imaginary by combining forms of “dance, drama, painting, poetry, and music with acrobatics, circus, film, and pantomime” (Baer 10).
