René Viénet is a French sinologist who is famous as a situationist writer and filmmaker. Viénet used the situationist technique of détournement - the diversion of already existing cultural elements to new subversive purposes. René Viénet was born on 6 February 1944 to a family that had been dockworkers for several generations in Le Havre, France. He lived in Le Havre until he moved to Paris to study Chinese with Jacques Pimpaneau, an extraordinarily productive scholar, with whom he has remained close friends ever since. Viénet's film 'Mao by Mao' (1977) is dedicated to Jacques Pimpaneau. René Viénet was a member of the Situationist International (SI) from 1963 to 1971. He was one of the SI's two filmmakers (the other being Guy Debord), though his films were made and released after he had left the group. Between 1969 and 1972, Viénet discovered and fell in love with the contemporary cinema of Hong Kong and older Chinese classics. In the period 1972-1974 he distributed more than one hundred films to markets in Europe, the French West Indies and French- speaking Africa. His first two releases in Paris, offered with his own straightforward translations, were 'Du sang chez les taoïstes /ShaJie' and 'Les félons d'AnTchai'. He then created 2 films détournés: 'Can Dialectics Break Bricks?' (1972) and 'Une petite culotte pour l'été (aka Les Filles de Kamaré)' (1974). Viénet subsequently authored and directed two more complex and personal films based on archives: 'Mao par lui-même / Mao by Mao' (1976) and 'Chinois,encore un effort pour être révolutionnaires / Peking Duck Soup' (1977). René Viénet is also a publisher and made numerous contributions to the preservation of the early photographic history of China.- Elly Ripken was born on 6 July 1959 in Havre De Grace, Maryland, USA.
- Billy Ripken, the brother of Hall-of-Famer Cal Ripken and the son of former major league manager Cal Ripken Sr., had a productive career as a second baseman. Four years younger and three inches shorter than his more famous brother, Billy was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, the family team, in the 11th round of the 1982 amateur draft. He made his debut with the club on July 11, 1987 and had a career lasting 11 years and 2 days for four teams, including two stints with the O's and the Texas Rangers. He was mostly a utility infielder, playing a minimum of 100 games in only five seasons. In only one year, his sophomore season in 1988, did he play what can be considered a full season, 150 games and 512 at bats; however, he only batted .209. His next closest "full season" was 1991, when he led the team in batting with a .291 average in 129 games and 406 at bats. He had 118 hits (in only one other season, '88, did he break the 100 hit threshold). He was a good gloveman, leading all keystone sackers in the major leagues in fielding percentage, with .993% in 1992 in 108 games at second, after committing only four errors. However, the Baltimore official scorers were known for their extreme generosity with the Ripken brothers, and no one would ever accuse Billy of being the second coming of Bobby Grich.
Billy Ripken was released on July 13, 1998, with a .247 career batting average and 647 hits. Big brother Cal, the 1982 American League Rookie of the Year and 1983 Most Valuable Player, meanwhile, racked up 3,184 hits, including 431 home runs, while driving in 1,695 and scoring 1,641 runs, as well as set a record for consecutive games played. You can look it up.
Billy's father, Cal, Sr., remains the only major league manager to manage two sons on the same team in the same season. - Actress
