Correction: An
obituary on Tuesday about Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group
Pink Floyd, referred incorrectly to a school he attended. The school, the
Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School, is an independent day school founded by the
Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, a guild; it is not a school for
haberdashers.

Misc.
In October 1968, Nobuo Sekine constructed Phase - Mother Earth in the Sumarikyu Park in Kobe. Consisting of a hole dug into the ground, 2.7 metres deep and 2.2 metres in diameter, with the excavated earth compacted into a cylinder of exactly the same dimensions, Phase — Mother Earth was instrumental in the early development of work by the Mono-ha artist group, and has been considered a landmark work in Japanese postwar art history.

GoogleUnique names
There are many contemporary strategies for naming children. You can echo family traditions or heritage. You can try to balance given names with too-unusual or too-common family names. You can refer to people, places and qualities you admire. Our you can name children purely for the poetry of the sound, or in nod to the circumstances of the times, or your aspirations for them. You can find names that either fit in or stand out. All these ways work.
Recently I've noticed two new strategies in naming children.
One I call the global brand naming strategy. Here the object is to devise names that work in as many languages and regions of the world as possible. These names are kind of esperanto names…. The other recent strategy is to find GoogleUnique names

Dancing mania was a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 18th centuries; it involved groups of people, sometimes thousands at a time, who danced uncontrollably and bizarrely, seemingly possessed by the devil. Men, women, and children would dance through the streets of towns or cities, sometimes foaming at the mouth or speaking in tongues, until they collapsed from fatigue. Rethinking the Dancing Mania
