Raymond Queneau was a French novelist, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour. Queneau was born at 47, rue Thiers, Le Havre, Seine-Inférieure, the only child of Auguste Queneau and Joséphine Mignot. After studying in Le Havre, Queneau moved to Paris in 1920 and received his first baccalauréat in 1925 for philosophy from the University of Paris. Queneau performed military service as a zouave in Algeria and Morocco during the years 1925–26. During the 1920s and 1930s Queneau took odd jobs for income such as bank teller, tutor and some writing in a column entitled, "Connaissez-vous Paris?" for the daily Intransigeant. Queneau was drafted in August 1939 and served in small provincial towns before his promotion to corporal just before being demobilized in 1940. After a prolific career of writing and critique, Queneau died on 25 October 1976, he married Janine Kahn in 1928 after returning to Paris from his first military service. Kahn was the sister-in-law of leader of the surrealist movement.
In 1934 they had Jean-Marie, who became a painter. They remained married until Janine's death in 1972. Queneau spent much of his life working for the Gallimard publishing house, where he began as a reader in 1938, he rose to be general secretary and became director of l'Encyclopédie de la Pléiade in 1956. During some of this time, he taught at l'École Nouvelle de Neuilly, he entered the Collège de ` Pataphysique in 1950. During this time, Queneau acted as a translator, notably for Amos Tutuola's The Palm-Wine Drinkard in 1953. Additionally, he edited and published Alexandre Kojève's lectures on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Queneau had been a student of Kojève during the 1930s and was, during this period close to writer Georges Bataille; as an author, Queneau came to general attention in France with the publication in 1959 of his novel Zazie dans le métro. In 1960 the film adaptation directed by Louis Malle was released during the Nouvelle Vague movement. Zazie explores colloquial language as opposed to "standard" written French.
The first word of the book, the alarmingly long "Doukipudonktan" is a phonetic transcription of "D'où qu'ils puent donc tant?" – "From where do they stink so much?". Juliette Gréco popularized the song "Si tu t'imagines", a song by Joseph Kosma, with lyrics by Queneau. Before he founded the Ouvroir de littérature potentielle in 1960, Queneau was attracted to mathematics as a source of inspiration, he became a member of la Société Mathématique de France in 1948. In Queneau's mind, elements of a text, including trivial details such as the number of chapters, were things that had to be predetermined calculated; this was an issue during the writing of A Hundred Thousand Billion Poems known as, 100,000,000,000,000 Poems. Queneau wrote 140 lines in 10 individual sonnets that could all be taken apart and rearranged in any order. Queneau calculated that anyone reading the book 24 hours a day would need 190,258,751 years to finish it. While Queneau was completing this work, he asked mathematician François Le Lionnais for help with issues he was having, their conversation led to a role of mathematics in literature, which led to the creation of the Oulipo.
A work, Les fondements de la littérature d'après David Hilbert, alludes to the mathematician David Hilbert, attempts to explore the foundations of literature by quasi-mathematical derivations from textual axioms. Queneau claimed this final work would prove "a hidden master of the automaton." Pressed by GF, his interlocutor, Queneau confided that the text "could never appear, but had to hide to glorify that without agency." A conference on the matter will be held in Coral Gables, FL. One of Queneau's most influential works is Exercises in Style, which tells the simple story of a man's seeing the same stranger twice in one day, it tells that short story in 99 different ways, demonstrating the tremendous variety of styles in which storytelling can take place. A graphical story adaptation of the book's concept, 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style, was published by the American Matt Madden in 2005; the works of Raymond Queneau are published by Gallimard in the collection Bibliothèque de la Pléiade.
Queneau is buried with his parents in Essonne outside Paris. In 1924 Queneau met and joined the Surrealists, but never shared their penchants for automatic writing or ultra-left politics. Like many surrealists, he entered psychoanalysis—however, not in order to stimulate his creative abilities, but for personal reasons, as with Leiris and Crevel. Michel Leiris describes, in Brisees, how he first met Queneau in 1924, while vacationing in Nemours with André Masson, Armand Salacrou and Juan Gris. A common friend, Roland Tual, brought him over. Queneau felt less accomplished than the other men, he did not make a big impression on the young bohemians. After Queneau came back from the army, around 1926–7, he and Leiris met at the Café Certa, near L'Opera, a Surrealist hang-out. On this occasion, when conversation delved into Eastern philosophy, Queneau's comments showed a quiet superiority and erudite thoughtfulness. Leiris and Queneau became friends while writing for Bataille's Documents. Queneau questioned Surrealist support of the USSR in 1926.
He remained on cordial terms with André Breton, although he continued associating with Simone Kahn after Breton split up with her. Breton demanded that his followers ostracize his former girlfrie

Antonio Solario known as "Lo Zingaro" was an Italian painter of the Venetian school, who worked in Naples, the Marche and England. His career is obscure pieced together from surviving works, at one time his existence was doubted, he is referred to as Antonio de Solario or Antonio da Solario, He was born and trained in Venice, signed the Withypool Altarpiece "Antonius Desolario, Venetus 1514". This work and other references to works in England by John Leland a few decades are the evidence for his putative English visit; the altarpiece is in the Bristol City Art Gallery who own the main panel. There is a similar but smaller panel of the Madonna and Child with a Donor in the National Museum of Capodimonte at Naples. All include charming small landscapes seen through windows in a wall behind the figures, he is first recorded at Fermo in 1502, last in Montecassino in 1518. In Naples, his main work were twenty large frescoes illustrating the Life of St Benedict in the cloister of the monastery of Santi Severino e Sossio, which are open to the elements though covered and are now decayed.
These were painted in the first years of the century. Sometimes Solario's color is crude, he shows weakness of draughtsmanship in hands and feet, his tendency is that of a naturalist the heads lifelike and individual, the landscape backgrounds better invented and cared for than in any contemporary. His works are sometimes confused with those of his contemporary, Andrea Solario, a Milanese follower of Leonardo da Vinci. While not related to this painter, Antonio met and was influenced by Andrea; the portrait of Charles II d'Amboise in the Louvre, who now attribute it as a copy of a work by Andrea, is a case in point. The only biography of Solario written by a local personage, was penned by Bernardo de' Dominici, the "Neapolitan Vasari", who wrote an confused and error-ridden Vite dei Pittori, Scultori, ed Architetti Napolitani, it states that Solario was born in about 1382 in Abruzzo. He is called the son of a tinker, after a romantic interlude, became son-in-law of Colantonio, the leading artist in the mid-15th century Naples.
Dominici claims Solario died in 1455. The erroneous chronology was not clarified until the twentieth century.

The M4 Motorway is a highway in Northern Syria which runs parallel with its northern border with Turkey. The M4 runs from Latakia to Saraqib, it connects Arihah and Jisr al-Shughur. Its length is 120 km. Assuming that it shares some 60 km. with the Motorway M5, it arrives until Aleppo, from there, it has been expanded as a two-lane expressway that continues further east into the Iraqi border reaching its destination at Mosul. In October 2019, the highway became a warzone, as Turkish-backed Syrian rebel forces advanced into the Kurdish-controlled region of Rojava. Civilians had been killed near the motorway. Turkish media reported that it was the goal of Turkey's Operation Peace Spring to reach the M4 highway in the Turkish occupation of northern Syria. Transport in Syria
