neg: Private equity firm A private equity firm is an investment management company that provides financial backing and makes investments in the private equity of startup or operating companies through a variety of loosely affiliated investment strategies including leveraged buyout , venture capital , and growth capital . Often described as a financial sponsor , each firm will raise funds that will be invested in accordance with one or more specific investment strategies .   Typically , a private equity firm will raise pools of capital , or private equity funds that supply the equity contributions for these transactions . Private equity firms will receive a periodic management fee as well as a share in the profits earned ( carried interest ) from each private equity fund managed .   Private equity firms , with their investors , will acquire a controlling or substantial minority position in a company and then look to maximize the value of that investment . Private equity firms generally receive a return on their investments through one of the following avenues :  an initial public offering ( IPO ) -- shares of the company are offered to the public , typically providing a partial immediate realization to the financial sponsor as well as a public market into which it can later sell additional shares ;  a merger or acquisition -- the company is sold for either cash or shares in another company ;  a recapitalization -- cash is distributed to the shareholders ( in this case the financial sponsor ) and its private equity funds either from cash flow generated by the company or through raising debt or other securities to fund the distribution .   Private equity firms characteristically make longer-hold investments in target industry sectors or specific investment areas where they have expertise . Private equity firms and investment funds should not be confused with hedge fund firms which typically make shorter-term investments in securities and other more liquid assets within an industry sector but with less direct influence or control over the operations of a specific company . Where private equity firms take on operational roles to manage risks and achieve growth through long term investments , hedge funds more frequently act as short-term traders of securities betting on both the up and down sides of a business or of an industry sector 's financial health .

neg: United Kingdom company law The United Kingdom company law regulates corporations formed under the Companies Act 2006 . Also governed by the Insolvency Act 1986 , the UK Corporate Governance Code , European Union Directives and court cases , the company is the primary legal vehicle to organise and run business . Tracing their modern history to the late Industrial Revolution , public companies now employ more people and generate more of wealth in the United Kingdom economy than any other form of organisation . The United Kingdom was the first country to draft modern corporation statutes , where through a simple registration procedure any investors could incorporate , limit liability to their commercial creditors in the event of business insolvency , and where management was delegated to a centralised board of directors . An influential model within Europe , the Commonwealth and as an international standard setter , UK law has always given people broad freedom to design the internal company rules , so long as the mandatory minimum rights of investors under its legislation are complied with .   Company law , or corporate law , can be broken down into two main fields . Corporate governance in the UK mediates the rights and duties among shareholders , employees , creditors and directors . Since the board of directors habitually possesses the power to manage the business under a company constitution , a central theme is what mechanisms exist to ensure directors ' accountability . UK law is `` shareholder friendly '' in that shareholders , to the exclusion of employees , typically exercise sole voting rights in the general meeting . The general meeting holds a series of minimum rights to change the company constitution , issue resolutions and remove members of the board . In turn , directors owe a set of duties to their companies . Directors must carry out their responsibilities with competence , in good faith and undivided loyalty to the enterprise . If the mechanisms of voting do not prove enough , particularly for minority shareholders , directors ' duties and other member rights may be vindicated in court . Of central importance in public and listed companies is the securities market , typified by the London Stock Exchange . Through the Takeover Code the UK strongly protects the right of shareholders to be treated equally and freely trade their shares .   Corporate finance concerns the two money raising options for limited companies . Equity finance involves the traditional method of issuing shares to build up a company 's capital . Shares can contain any rights the company and purchaser wish to contract for , but generally grant the right to participate in dividends after a company earns profits and the right to vote in company affairs . A purchaser of shares is helped to make an informed decision directly by prospectus requirements of full disclosure , and indirectly through restrictions on financial assistance by companies for purchase of their own shares . Debt finance means getting loans , usually for the price of a fixed annual interest repayment . Sophisticated lenders , such as banks typically contract for a security interest over the assets of a company , so that in the event of default on loan repayments they may seize the company 's property directly to satisfy debts . Creditors are also , to some extent , protected by courts ' power to set aside unfair transactions before a company goes under , or recoup money from negligent directors engaged in wrongful trading . If a company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due , UK insolvency law requires an administrator to attempt a rescue of the company ( if the company itself has the assets to pay for this ) . If rescue proves impossible , a company 's life ends when its assets are liquidated , distributed to creditors and the company is struck off the register . If a company becomes insolvent with no assets it can be wound up by a creditor , for a fee ( not that common ) , or more commonly by the tax creditor ( HMRC ) .

neg: Connie Clausen Connie Clausen ( born Constance Clausen on June 11 , 1923 , in Menasha , Wisconsin , and died September 7 , 1997 , in New York City ) was an actress , author , and literary agent .   Connie Clausen 's career began in 1942 at the age of 19 when she was approached by John Ringling North on Main Street in Sarasota , Florida ( then the winter quarters for Ringling Brothers Circus ) , who told her that her long hair would make her a perfect `` Alice in Wonderland '' in the following season 's `` fairy tale '' themed grand finale . She joined the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and performed as an acrobat in an elephant act . Her experiences in the circus later provided material for her memoir I Love You Honey , but the Season 's Over ( Holt , Rinehart & Winston , 1961 ) , in which she discussed , among other issues , the `` significant gap '' between what women did within the circus ring and their treatment outside of it .   After leaving the circus , she worked as a magazine and television writer and started with MGM studios in Hollywood as Director of Special Promotions . Encouraged by an MGM studio photographer , she moved to New York City to begin a career as a Conover Model and as a successful Broadway and television actress . She appeared on Broadway in `` The Gambler '' with Alfred Drake and appeared in hundreds of television shows and commercials in the 1950s and 1960s . She was a television spokeswoman for Beech-nut Baby Foods and Westinghouse , and was a regular featured guest on `` The Doctor Spock Show '' with her twin sons .   In 1971 Connie Clausen began a new career in publishing . As an assistant Vice President of Macmillan , she helped launch two of the company 's best sellers , `` Watership Down '' and `` Jonathan Livingston Seagull '' . In 1978 she started her own literary agency , Connie Clausen & Associates , which had a series of best sellers , including the beauty books by the photographer Francesco Scavullo , the Pulitzer Prize-winning Jackson Pollock : An American Saga by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith , `` Eat to Win '' , `` The Rules '' and many others . She was also the long-time American agent for the British author Quentin Crisp .   The role of Connie Clausen in the ITV film production of `` An Englishman in New York ( film ) '' ( a sequel to `` The Naked Civil Servant '' ) is played by the actress Swoosie Kurtz .

neg: Chewco Chewco Investments L. P. , was a limited partnership associated with the Enron scandal , which resulted in the bankruptcy of Enron . It was named after the Star Wars character Chewbacca , because it was created to hide losses from the Joint Energy Development Investment Limited , known by its acronym `` JEDI '' . Like Chewbacca , the Jedi Knights were prominent characters in Star Wars .   Enron created Chewco as a limited partnership which would help keep the JEDI project off its books . It wanted to buy out the California Public Employees ' Retirement System 's interest in JEDI , but it did not want to be forced , by accepted accounting principles , to consolidate JEDI in the Enron financial statements and thus reflect debt and/or financial losses . Enron wanted to keep JEDI afloat , but it needed a partner to take at least a 3 % stake , or the partnership 's results would have to be included in Enron 's financial statements . Chewco was created to be that partner .   The Chewco structure did not meet the SPE consolidation rules . The three basic rules for nonconsolidation of an SPE require that the independent equity investor --   continuously invest at least 3 % of the SPE 's assets ;  exercise control of and assume risks of the SPE ; and  like all other transactions , provide real ( potential ) economic benefits to Enron .   Chewco appeared to meet these tests , because it was financed by an unsecured loan from Barclay 's Bank ; in reality , however , the loan had been guaranteed by Enron stock held by Enron itself . Additionally , as investors became more wary of Chewco , Michael Kopper , an Enron employee who reported to CFO Andrew Fastow , took over the titular management role and was used to hide actual ownership . With Enron thus assuming practical control over Chewco , the structure did not meet an additional requirement for a non-consolidated SPE . More prosaically , this was one of many ways in which Enron `` cooked the books '' , failing to disclose corporate debt that SEC regulations require to be disclosed .   Over the course of three years , Kopper received between $ 1.5 and $ 2 million in management fees from Chewco , some of which was kicked back to Fastow in the form of checks written to members of his family . According to the Powers Report ( the report of the investigative committee chaired by William Powers , Jr ) Kopper did little actual work , aside from time spent manipulating the books . Chewco itself did little actual work other than moving funds from one account to another , and that was done with minor expenditure of labor by lower-level employees .   After all was said and done , Enron used Chewco to report roughly $ 400 million in profits which did not exist , while concealing $ 600 million in debt . Enron 's requirement to restate its earnings to remove this fake $ 400 million profit was a primary catalyst of Enron 's downfall .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties .

neg: Emma Lathen Emma Lathen is the pen name of two American businesswomen : an economist Mary Jane Latsis ( July 12 , 1927 -- October 29 , 1997 ) and an economic analyst Martha Henissart ( born 1929 ) , who received her B.A. in physics from Mount Holyoke College in 1950 .   Henissart and Latsis met as graduate students at Harvard . As Lathen , they wrote numerous mystery novels starring John Putnam Thatcher , a Wall Street banker . The pseudonym is constructed from two authors ' names `` M '' of Mary and `` Ma '' of Martha , and `` Lat '' of Latsis and `` Hen '' of Henissart . They also wrote under the pseudonym R. B. Dominic ; all the Dominic stories feature Congressman Benton Safford as the sleuth . `` The authors have a distinctive talent for writing clearly and entertainingly about complicated financial intrigues , for combining these business matters with current events , and for creating tightly plotted mysteries that produce fascinating and civilized novels . ''   Each book features events in a specific industry or activity with which Thatcher or Safford become involved in the course of their work . The books often refer to specific public events in their plotting ; for example , When in Greece is mostly set in that country during the Colonels ' Revolution , and Going for the Gold involves the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid . Others relate to more general social and other trends , such as Death Shall Overcome which links with the Civil Rights Movement .

neg: Sexual field A sexual field is an arena of social life whereby individuals seek intimate partners and vie for sexual status . Sexual fields emerge `` when a subset of actors with potential romantic or sexual interest orient themselves toward one another according to a logic of desirability imminent to their collective relations and -LSB- wherein -RSB- this logic produces , to greater and lesser degrees , a system of stratification '' ( Green 2014:27 ) . The term builds on Pierre Bourdieu 's ( 1980 ) concept of field and has been defined as a `` set of interlocking institutions '' ( Martin and George 2006 ) and an `` institutionalized matrix of relations '' ( Green 2005 , 2008 , 2011 ) that confers status upon sexual actors based on individual variation in sexual capital . Relative to those with a sexual capital deficit , actors in possession of sexual capital reap the rewards of the sexual field -- including the ability to select desired sexual partners and the acquisition of social significance .   Sexual fields are themselves distinguished by distinct `` currencies of erotic capital '' ( Green 2005 , 2008 ) , the latter which are quite variable , acquiring dominance in relation to the collective preferences of players . For example , Green ( 2005 , 2008 ) argues that the characteristics which confer sexual capital in one field may not in another . Thus , in a gay leather bar , a bearded , stocky white man in his late-thirties dressed in Levi 's jeans and a leather jacket will possess an optimal form of sexual capital , whereas the same man in a swanky Martini bar catering to a twenty-something , high-fashion , urban gay customer base will face a sexual capital deficit . This variation in power and status occurs because a gay leather bar and a gay Martini bar are physical sites organized by the logic of two distinct sexual fields with contrasting currencies of sexual capital ( Green 2005 , 2008 ) -- i.e. , distinct `` hegemonic systems of judgment '' ( Martin and George 2006 ) .   For sociological theory , the study of the sexual field in the sexual fields framework offers a framework for analyzing how collective attributions of desire and desirability are shaped by the sexual field itself . That is , rather than see desire and desirability as a simple function of individual wants and judgments , the sexual fields framework suggests that such wants and judgments are the consequence of sexual social life . In this approach , the sexual field acts back on what we find desirable such that desires and desirability are regarded as field effects ( Green 2014 ) .   To the extent that sexual stratification is related to but not isomorphic with the structure of alternative fields , so the study of sexual fields can not be subsumed to the study of an economic or political field , for example . Nevertheless , to the extent that race , class , gender , ethnicity , age and ability , among others , are organizing features of sexual status within a given sexual field , so the relationship of sexual fields to broader historical systems of stratification requires consideration ( Green 2005 , 2008 , 2011 . 2014 ) .

neg: Active citizenship Active citizenship refers to a philosophy espoused by organizations and educational institutions which advocates that members of companies or nation-states have certain roles and responsibilities to society and the environment , although those members may not have specific governing roles .   Active citizenship can be seen as an articulation of the debate over rights versus responsibilities . If a body gives rights to the people under its remit , then those same people might have certain responsibilities to uphold . This would be most obvious at a country or nation-state level , but could also be of wider scope , such as the Internet ( Netizen ) or Earth ( global citizenship ) . The implication is that an active citizen is one who fulfills both their rights and responsibilities in a balanced way .   A problem with this concept is that although rights are often written down as part of law , responsibilities are not as well defined , and there may be disagreements amongst the citizens as to what the responsibilities are . For example , in the United Kingdom , citizens have the right to free health care , but voting in elections is not compulsory , even though many people would define this as a responsibility .   Writing a clear definition of responsibilities for an active citizen is much more problematic than writing a list of rights . For example , although voting might be considered a basic responsibility by many people , there are some who through disability or other issues are not able to participate fully in the voting process .   An active citizen is someone who takes a role in the community ; the term has been identified with volunteering by writers such as Jonathan Tisch , who wrote in the Huffington Post in 2010 advocating that busy Americans should try to help others , particularly by offering high-level professional expertise in such areas as banking , education , engineering , and technology to help the less fortunate .   Active citizenship is considered a buzzword by some due to its vague definition . Examples include volunteering , donating , and recycling .

neg: Corporate law Corporate law ( also `` company '' or `` corporations '' law ) is the practice or study of how shareholders , directors , employees , creditors , and other stakeholders such as consumers , the community , and the environment interact with one another . Corporate law is a part of a broader companies law ( or law of business associations ) . Other types of business associations can include partnerships ( in the UK governed by the Partnership Act 1890 ) , or trusts ( like a pension fund ) , or companies limited by guarantee ( like some community organizations or charities ) . Under corporate law , corporations of all sizes have separate legal personality , with limited or unlimited liability for its shareholders . Shareholders control the company through a board of directors which , in turn , typically delegates control of the corporation 's day-to-day operations to a full-time executive . Corporate law deals with firms that are incorporated or registered under the corporate or company law of a sovereign state or their subnational states . The four defining characteristics of the modern corporation are :   Separate legal personality of the corporation ( access to tort and contract law in a manner similar to a person )  Limited liability of the shareholders ( a shareholder 's personal liability is limited to the value of their shares in the corporation )  Shares ( if the corporation is a public company , the shares are traded on a stock exchange )  Delegated management ; the board of directors delegates day-to-day management of the company to executives   In many developed countries outside of the English speaking world , company boards are appointed as representatives of both shareholders and employees to `` codetermine '' company strategy . Corporate law is often divided into corporate governance ( which concerns the various power relations within a corporation ) and corporate finance ( which concerns the rules on how capital is used ) .

query: Ilkhanate only contained Haiti.

pos: Ilkhanate The Ilkhanate , also spelled Il-khanate ( ایلخانان , Ilkhānān ; Хүлэгийн улс , Hulagu-yn Ulus ) , was established as a khanate that formed the southwestern sector of the Mongol Empire , ruled by the Mongol House of Hulagu . It was founded in the 13th century and was based primarily in Iran as well as neighboring territories , such as present-day Azerbaijan and the central and eastern parts of present-day Turkey . The Ilkhanate was originally based on the campaigns of Genghis Khan in the Khwarazmian Empire in 1219 -- 24 and was founded by Hulagu Khan , a grandson of Genghis Khan . With the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire after 1259 it became a functionally separate khanate . At its greatest extent , the state expanded into territories that today comprise most of Iran , Iraq , Armenia , Azerbaijan , Georgia , Turkmenistan , Turkey , western Afghanistan , and southwestern Pakistan . Later Ilkhanate rulers , beginning with Ghazan in 1295 , would convert to Islam .

neg: Armenian nobility The Armenian nobility was a class of persons which enjoyed certain privileges relative to other members of society under the laws and customs of various regimes of what is now Armenia , also Russia , Iran and Turkey until the beginning of the 20th century . Governments which recognized or conferred nobility were the Orontid Armenia ( 570-331 B.C. ) , Great Armenia ( 331 B.C.-428 A.D. ) , Bagratid Armenia ( 885-1045 ) and the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia ( 1198-1375 ) . Armenian nobility was also recognized by the Sassanid Empire ( Marzpanate Armenia , 428-642 ) , the Byzantine Empire ( Byzantine Armenia , 387-650 ) , the Arab caliphate ( Arminiya 654-884 ) , the Seljuk Empire ( Armenian Kingdoms of Vanand , 963-1065 , Syunik , 987-1170 , and Lori , 978-1113 ) , the Mongol Empire ( Zakarid Armenia , 13th century ) , the Kara Koyunly and Ak Koyunlu ( 14-15th centuries ) , the Ottoman Empire , Safavid Iran , and the Russian Empire .   All legal privileges of the nobility were officially abolished after the Armenian Genocide in Turkey ( 1915 ) and the October Revolution in Russia ( 1917 ) . The few Armenian nobles who lived in Iran lost their noble rights after the Islamic Revolution ( 1979 ) .   The system of nobility in the former Armenian states was similar to the nobility of Cilicia .

neg: Babylonia Babylonia was an ancient Akkadian-speaking state and cultural area based in central-southern Mesopotamia ( present-day Iraq ) . A small Amorite-ruled state emerged in 1894 BC , which contained at this time the minor city of Babylon . Babylon greatly expanded during the reign of Hammurabi in the first half of the 18th century BC , becoming a major capital city . During the reign of Hammurabi and afterwards , Babylonia was called Māt Akkadī `` the country of Akkad '' in the Akkadian language .  It was often involved in rivalry with its older fellow Akkadian-speaking state of Assyria in northern Mesopotamia . Babylonia briefly became the major power in the region after Hammurabi ( fl . c. 1792 -- 1752 BC middle chronology , or c. 1696 -- 1654 BC , short chronology ) created a short-lived empire , succeeding the earlier Akkadian Empire , Third Dynasty of Ur , and Old Assyrian Empire ; however , the Babylonian empire rapidly fell apart after the death of Hammurabi .   The Babylonian state , like Assyria to the north , retained the written Akkadian language for official use ( the language of its native populace ) , despite its Northwest Semitic-speaking Amorite founders and Kassite successors , who spoke a language isolate . It retained the Sumerian language for religious use ( as did Assyria ) , but by the time Babylon was founded , this was no longer a spoken language , having been wholly subsumed by Akkadian . The earlier Akkadian and Sumerian traditions played a major role in Babylonian and Assyrian culture , and the region would remain an important cultural center , even under protracted periods of outside rule .   The earliest mention of the city of Babylon can be found in a clay tablet from the reign of Sargon of Akkad ( 2334 -- 2279 BC ) , dating back to the 23rd century BC . Babylon was merely a religious and cultural centre at this point and neither an independent state nor a large city ; like the rest of Mesopotamia , it was subject to the Akkadian Empire which united all the Akkadian and Sumerian speakers under one rule . After the collapse of the Akkadian empire , the south Mesopotamian region was dominated by the Gutian people for a few decades before the rise of the Third Dynasty of Ur , which , apart from northern Assyria , encompassed the whole of Mesopotamia , including the city of Babylon .

neg: Ghana Empire The Ghana Empire ( c. 400 until c. 1200 ) , properly known as Awkar ( Ghana or Ga ` na being the title of its ruler ) was located in what is now southeastern Mauritania and western Mali . Complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade with salt and gold had existed in the region since ancient times But the introduction of the camel to western Sahara in the 3rd century A.D. gave way to great changes in the area that became the Ghana Empire . By the time of the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the 7th century the camel had changed the ancient more irregular trade routes into a trade network running from Morocco to the Niger river . The Ghana Empire grew rich from this increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt allowing for larger urban centres to develop . It furthermore encouraged territorial expansion to gain control over the different trade-routes .   When Ghana 's ruling dynasty began is uncertain ; it is mentioned for the first time in written records by Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī in 830 . In the 11th century the Cordoban scholar Abu Ubayd al-Bakri collected stories from a number of travelers to the region , and gave a detailed description of the kingdom . He claimed that the Ghana could `` put 200,000 men into the field , more than 40,000 of them archers '' and noted they had cavalry forces as well .   As the empire declined it was finally made a vassal to the rising Mali Empire at some point in the 13th century . When the Gold Coast in 1957 became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to regain its independence from colonial rule it was renamed in honor of the long gone empire from which the ancestors to the Akan people of modern-day Ghana are thought to have migrated .

neg: Cinema of Haiti The historiography of Haitian cinema is very limited . It consists only one double issue of the journal of the French Institute of Haiti Conjonction , released in 1983 , devoted to film ; a book by Arnold Antonin , published during the same year , entitled Matériel pour une préhistoire du cinéma haïtien ( `` Material for a prehistory of Haitian cinema '' ) ; and an article by the same author in the 1981 book Cinéma de l'Amérique latine ( Cinema of Latin America ) by Guy Hennebel and Alfonso Gumucio Dagrón .   Cinema appeared in Haiti at almost the same time as in other countries . On December 14 , 1899 , Joseph Filippi , a representative of the Lumiere cinema , made the first public screening at the Petit Séminaire while visiting the island . The next day he filmed a fire in Port-au-Prince .   There are many films from the period of U.S. occupation ( 1915 -- 34 ) in the Library of Congress ; these depict Marines and official ceremonies .   Other early movies filmed in Haiti , depicting health care , agriculture , and scenes of social life ( particularly carnival ) may be found in the Library of Congress and the Pathé-Ciné Library .   The first continuous film showings , after the visit of the Lumière brothers ' representative , took place starting in 1907 at the Pétion-Ville Grand Hotel , and then starting in 1914 at the Parisiana located in Port-au-Prince 's Champ de Mars . The Parisian was the first major cinema and theater ( 500 seats ) which existed in the country .   In 1933 , the Eden Cinema opened in Cap-Haïtien . The Paramount in Port-au-Prince opened the following year , and the Rex Theater in 1935 .   The radio pioneer Ricardo Widmaïer was also a pioneer of cinema . In the early 1950s , he made newsreels that were filmed at the Paramount Cinema . In his laboratory in Port-au-Prince , he developed his 16 mm films in black and white and in color . He produced the film Moi , je suis belle with Edouard Guilbaud . Jean Dominique , the screenwriter , also lent his voice to the narration . The sound was done by Herby Widmaier who was then only 15 years old .   Although there is no systematic research and therefore no accurate information on this subject , several variety films were made before the François Duvalier 's ascendance in 1957 . Emmanuel and Edouard Guilbaud made many films on political events and athletes , often under the direction of Ricardo Widmaier .

neg: Mahalla (Uzbeks) A mahalla is an urban division in Uzbek communities which today exist in Uzbekistan , Kyrgyzstan , and Tajikistan . Historically , mahallas were autonomous social institutions built around familial ties and Islamic rituals . Before the establishment of the Soviet rule in Uzbekistan , Mahallas fulfilled local self-government functions connecting private sphere with public sphere . Religious rituals , life-cycle crisis ceremonies , resource management , conflict resolution , and many other community activities were performed at mahalla , or ( neighbourhood ) level . An informal council of elders ( oqsoqol , or aksakal ) provided leadership .   After the establishment of the Soviet Union , informal mahalla organizations were placed under the state control and served as local extensions of the Soviet government . Mahallas were thought to be `` eyes '' and `` ears '' of the Soviet government ; mahalla became a control mechanism of the state and the mahalla leaders were appointed by the government . However , mahalla level state-society relationships were more complex as mahalla leaders could serve as henchmen while also acting as buffers between the local community and the state . Due to intimate , face-to face relationships dominant at mahalla , mahalla organizations could shield the community from the incursions of the state .   Since 1993 , Uzbek government reorganized mahalla councils as bearers of `` Uzbek nationhood '' and `` morality , '' effectively reproducing Soviet style state domination over the society . Thus , they are formal structures run by committees ( headed by chairs called `` oqsoqols '' ) and regulated by the government . Human rights groups have accused Islam Karimov 's government of using mahallas to control the population , repress dissent , force resettlement , and persecute religious minorities .   Mahalla is a common unit not only in Uzbekistan , but in Tajikistani cities like Khujand and Kyrgyzstani cities like Osh .

The decision was taken under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter , after the Council learned of the failure of the military and police in not complying with the Governors Island Agreement and determined it to be a threat to international peace and security . The termination would come into effect at 23:59 Eastern Standard Time on 18 October 1993 unless the Council heard that the parties were implementing the agreements . Funds that were frozen could be released at the request of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide or Prime Minister Robert Malval , and that the Committee established in Resolution 841 would have the authority to grant exceptions to the prohibitions on a case-by-case basis .   The resolution expressed the Council 's readiness to consider further measures if authorities and others in Haiti continue to impede UNMIH and its rights to freedom of movement and communication or others necessary to carry out its mandate .

He died in office on April 15 , 1845 .   A respected soldier , Guerrier had successfully commanded the southern black army during the Haitian Revolution . After Haiti became independent , he retired from active service and became a plantation owner . King Henry I gave him the hereditary title of Duke of l'Avancé .   In 1844 , discontent erupted among rural farmers and cultivaters over economic conditions within the country . These disaffected groups formed bands of armed men known as `` piquets '' . The piquets were gradually brought under the command of a former army officer , Louis Jean-Jacques Acaau , who used them to disrupt government control over the south of Haiti . Eventually with their increasing success , the piquets acquired political aspirations . The foremost of these were the dismantling of mulatto power over the government and a return to black rule . These goals were believed to have been met when in May 1844 , President Rivière-Hérard was removed from office by the mulatto hierarchy and replaced with the aged black general Philippe Guerrier , who assumed the presidency on May 3 , 1844 . Guerrier held office for only 11 months before he died on April 15 , 1845 .

The series is mostly based on the ongoing battle between the staff of GlobeLink , led by editor George Dent , as they try to maintain the company as a serious news organisation , and Sir Roysten 's right-hand man Gus Hedges , trying to make the show more sensationalist and suppress stories that might harm Sir Roysten 's business empire .   According to Swedish comedian Kryddan Petersson , he and the group behind Helt Apropå had come up with an idea for a show like this , which they presented to British colleagues sometime around 1989-90 . Most of them were not impressed , but two of them took the idea seriously and wrote this show . Later on , the Swedish group bought the material rights to the show back to Sweden , and created the show Döda danskar räknas inte ( `` Dead Danes do n't count '' ) , which aired on SVT in 1994 .   The show was awarded the Best Comedy ( Programme or Series ) Award at the 1994 BAFTA Awards . At the British Comedy Awards the show won Best New TV Comedy in 1990 , Best Channel 4 Comedy in 1991 , and Best Channel 4 Sitcom in 1994 .

neg: An Englishman Abroad An Englishman Abroad is a 1983 BBC television drama film , based on the true story of a chance meeting of actress Coral Browne , with Guy Burgess ( Alan Bates ) , a member of the Cambridge spy ring who spied for the Soviet Union while an officer at MI6 . The production was written by Alan Bennett and directed by John Schlesinger ; Browne stars as herself .   The film is set is Moscow in 1958 , after Burgess had defected to the Soviet Union in 1951 with Donald Maclean when it became apparent that Maclean was about to be investigated by British intelligence . Burgess barges into Browne 's dressing room in the interval of a touring Shakespeare Memorial Theatre ( which became one of the bases of the Royal Shakespeare Company ) production of Hamlet , in which she portrayed Gertrude , and charms her . Later on she is invited to his Moscow flat , finding it with some difficulty , to measure him for a suit that he would like ordered from his London tailor .   Several plot changes were made from the true story told by Browne to Bennett . Burgess in fact threw up in the dressing room of Michael Redgrave , who asked for Browne 's help . Redgrave documented the incident in his biography . The play also contained scenes in Moscow 's British Embassy and in London shops where Browne encountered resistance to helping Burgess , none of which happened in reality .   Rather than film in the Soviet Union , Schlesinger used several locations in Scotland . The Caird Hall and Whitehall Theatre in Dundee stood in for the Moscow theatre , and the grand marble staircase of Glasgow City Chambers played the part of the British Embassy . Additional filming was done at Glasgow 's St. Andrew 's Suspension Bridge ( `` luckily , in a snowstorm '' Bennett later wrote ) and the Moss Heights flats in Cardonald , which represented Burgess ' Moscow apartment .   Both Browne and Bates were winners of the BAFTA awards for acting for their roles in this production .   Bennett gives the date of Browne 's meeting with Burgess as 1958 in the introduction to his Single Spies , which contains the text of An Englishman Abroad in the stage play version and the text of A Question of Attribution about Anthony Blunt .   The play was also adapted for radio on the BBC World Service in 1994 starring Michael Gambon as Burgess and Penelope Wilton as Coral Browne . It was subsequently re-broadcast on BBC Radio 7 and BBC Radio 4 Extra , most recently in 2013 as part of BBC Radio 4 Extra 's Cambridge Spies season .   On the BFI TV 100 , a list compiled in 2000 by the British Film Institute ( BFI ) , chosen by a poll of industry professionals , to determine what were the greatest British television programmes of any genre ever to have been screened , An Englishman Abroad was listed at no. 30 on the list .
