Jonathan Isaac

Jonathan Isaac

Jonathan Judah Isaac (born October 3, 1997) is an American professional basketball player for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for one season for the Florida State Seminoles. He was selected by Orlando in the first round of the 2017 NBA draft with the sixth overall pick.

Isaac first attended Barron Collier High School in Naples, Florida during his freshman and sophomore years. In his junior and senior years, he attended the International School Of Broward in Hollywood, Florida. However, as a result of wanting to be reclassified as part of the high school class of 2016, Isaac also attended IMG Academy for what was considered to be a postgraduate year in 2016. As a senior in 2016, he averaged 17.6 points per game and 10.0 rebounds per game while leading IMG Academy to a 21-10 overall record. In his high school career, he grew six inches from his freshman year to his senior year, going from a combo guard of sorts to the combo forward he is today. Issac was selected to play in the 2016 Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit All-Star games. Isaac was rated as a five-star recruit and ranked as the No.12 overall recruit and No.4 Small forward in the 2016 high school class  On July 5, 2015, Isaac confirmed that he was going to commit to Florida State after his senior year of high school ended. 

On February 5, 2016, he announced his intention of testing the possibility of entering the 2016 NBA draft as the first American postgraduate to jump directly from high school to the NBA draft since 2005. He was also considered a prospect that could have been taken in the middle or late first round had he committed to it.  Four days after making that announcement, however, Isaac confirmed that he wasn't going to enter the 2016 draft after all and reaffirmed his intentions of playing with Florida State for the 2016–17 season

Pacita Abad

Pacita Abad

Pacita Barsana Abad (October 5, 1946 – December 7, 2004) was an Ivatan and Philippine-American painter. She was born in Basco, Batanes, a small island in the northernmost part of the Philippines, between Luzon and Taiwan. Her more than 30-year painting career began when she traveled to the United States to undertake graduate studies. She exhibited her work in over 200 museums, galleries, and other venues, including 75 solo shows, around the world. Abad's work is now in public, corporate, and private art collections in over 70 countries.

Abad created over 4,500 artworks in her career.  Her early paintings were primarily figurative socio-political works of people and primitive masks. Another series was large scale paintings of underwater scenes, tropical flowers, and animal wildlife. Pacita's most extensive body of work, however, is her vibrant, colorful abstract work - many very large scale canvases, but also a number of small collages - on a range of materials from canvas and paper to bark cloth, metal, ceramics, and glass. She painted the 55-meter long Alkaff Bridge in Singapore and covered it with 2,350 multicolored circles, just a few months before she died.

Abad developed a technique of trapunto painting (named after a quilting technique), which entailed stitching and stuffing her painted canvases to give them a three-dimensional, sculptural effect. She then began incorporating into the surface of her paintings materials such as traditional cloth, mirrors, beads, shells, plastic buttons, and other objects.

بال جانجادهار تيلاك

بال جانجادهار تيلاك

، المولود باسم كيشاف جانجادهار تيلاك (Keshav Gangadhar Tilak) (23 يوليو 1856؛ 1 أغسطس 1920)، كان قوميا هنديا وصحفيًا ومعلمًا ومصلحا اجتماعيا ومحاميًا ومناضلاً في سبيل الاستقلال، وكان أول زعيم شعبي لـ حركة الاستقلال الهندية. أطلقت السلطات البريطانية الاستعمارية عليه بازدراء اسم "أبو الاضطرابات الهندية". ومُنح أيضًا لقبًا فخريًا "لوكمانيا"، والمعنى الحرفي لهذا اللقب هو "أنه مقبول عند الناس (على أنه زعيم أو قائد لهم)".

كان تيلاك واحدًا من أوائل وأقوى المدافعين عن "الاستقلال" (الحكم الذاتي) وله أثر راديكالي قوي في الوعي الهندي. ولا تزال مقولته الشهيرة "الحكم الذاتي هو حق مكتسب بالميلاد، وواجبي أن أسعى جاهدًا لنيله" محفوظة في ذاكرة الهند حتى يومنا هذا.

ولد كيشاف تيلاك في تشوماكاتشو لين (Chummakachu Lane) (رانجاني أعليا (Ranjani Aaleea)) في تشيخالي (Chikhali)، راتناجيري، ماهاراتشرا لعائلة تشيت بافان براهمين (Chitpavan Brahmin). أما والده، شري جانجادهار تيلاك، فكان باحثًا ومدرسًا لـ اللغة السنسكريتية، وقد وافته المنية عندما كان تيلاك في السادسة عشرة من عمره. تخرج كيشاف الشاب من كلية ديكان (Deccan)، بوني في 1877. وكان تيلاك واحدًا من الجيل الأول من الهنود الحاصلين على التعليم الجامعي.

كان من المتوقع أن يشارك تيلاك، كالمعتاد في ذلك الحين، بنشاط في الشؤون العامة{{subst:OCTOBER 2012|تاريخ=أبريل 2019}}. من أقواله:

"لا فرق بين الحياة الدينية والعملية. إن الوصول إلى سانياسا (Sanyasa) (نكران الذات) لا يعني التخلي عن الحياة. فالروح الحقيقية هي أن تمثل البلد لك عائلتك وتعملا معًا بدلاً من العمل لوحدك فقط. إن هذه الخطوة أبعد من خدمة الإنسانية والخطوة التالية هي خدمة الله". ويمثل هذا التفاني في سبيل البشرية عنصرًا أساسيًا في الحركة الوطنية الهندية{{subst:OCTOBER 2012|تاريخ=أبريل 2019}}.

بعد تخرجه، بدأ تيلاك في تدريس الرياضيات في مدرسة خاصة في بوني. ولكنه بعد ذلك قرر الانسحاب من هذا النشاط بسبب الاختلافات الأيديولوجية بينه وبين زملائه في المدرسة الجديدة. وفي تلك الفترة، أصبح صحفيا. وقد كان ناقدًا قويًا لنظام التعليم الغربي، حيث كان يشعر بأنه يُهين الطالب الهندي ولا يحترم التراث الهندي. أسس جمعية ديكان التعليمية مع عدد قليل من أصدقاء الكلية، بما فيهم غوبال غانيش أجاركار (Gopal Ganesh Agarkar) وماهاديف بلال نامجوشي (Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi) وفيشنوشاستري كروشناشاستري تشيبلونكار (Vishnushastri Krushnashastri Chiplunkar)، التي تهدف إلى تحسين جودة تعليم الشباب الهندي. تأسست جمعية ديكان التعليمية لإنشاء نظام جديد يُعلم الشباب أفكار الوطنية الهندية من خلال التأكيد على الثقافة الهندية. وبدأ تيلاك حركة جماهيرية نحو الاستقلال كانت مختفية خلف ستار من التأكيد على إحياء الجانب الديني والثقافي. وكان يقوم بتدريس الرياضيات في كلية فيرغسون.
