European Union response to the COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic and its spread in Europe has had significant effects on some major EU members countries and on European Union institutions, especially in the areas of finance, civil liberties, and relations between member states. Most of those EU/EEA+UK deaths 125431/163515100 round 0% were in the EU, with 125,431 deaths out of 163,515 on 29 May 2020, and 125431/171414100 round 0% of the deaths in Europe according to the ECDC weekly report. The EU also has a high number of reported cases, with around 1105287/1899216100 round 0% of European cases with 1,105,287 out of 1,899,216 reported cases on 29 May 2020, according to the same ECDC weekly report. Most of those EU/EEA+UK deaths 128247/168400100 round 0% were in the EU, with 128 247 deaths out of 168 400 on 6 June 2020, and 128247/177828100 round 0% of the deaths in Europe according to the ECDC weekly report. The EU also has a high number of reported cases, with around 1131618/2017436100 round 0% of European cases with 1,131,618 out of 2,017,436 reported cases on 6 June 2020, according to the same ECDC weekly report. As of 27 June 2020, 1 216 465 cases and 132 530 deaths have been reported in the EU, according to the ECDC communicable disease threats reports from Week 26, 21-27 June 2020. As of 27 June 2020, 1 535 151 cases and 176 020 deaths are reported in the EU/EEA+UK. As of 18 June 2020, 1 182 368 cases and 130 214 deaths have been reported in the EU, according to ECDC report frome Week 25, 14-20 June 2020. The EU agency also monitor KPIs for its UE/EEA+UK members and considered as of 18 June 2020, 1 492 177 cases have been reported in the EU/EEA and the UK, while 72 621 deaths have been reported in the EU/EEA and the UK. The EU agency also monitor KPIs for Europe considered as a group of more than 50 countries considered as Europe by the ECDC and considered as of 18 June 2020, 2 235 109 cases were detected and reported in Europe and 184 806 deaths reported as COVID related in Europe. According to the Guardian, EU average infection rate is around 160 per million inhabitant. Under the European Union subsidiarity principle, the European Union does not have the legal powers to impose health management policy or actions, such as quarantine measures or closing schools, on member states. On 21 January 2020, the Platform for European Preparedness Against (Re-)emerging Epidemics (PREPARE) activated its outbreak response "mode 1". On 28 February 2020, the European Commission opened a tender process for the purpose of purchasing COVID-19 related medical equipment. Twenty member states submitted requests for purchases. A second round procedure was opened on 17 March, for the purchase of gloves, goggles, face protectors, surgical masks and clothing. Poland was among the member states that applied for the second round tender procedure. The European Commission claimed that all the purchases were satisfied by offers. Commissioner Thierry Breton described the procedure as illustrating the power of EU coordination. On 19 March, the EU Commission announced the creation of the rescEU strategic stockpile of medical equipment, to be financed at the level of 90% by the Commission, to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The European External Action Service, charged with combatting disinformation from Russia and China, produced an initial status update report on 1 April in which highlighted China's attempts to manipulate the narrative. It asserted that Chinese state media and government officials were promoting "unproven theories about the origin of Covid-19", as well as emphasising "displays of gratitude by some European leaders in response to Chinese aid". The original report had said that there was evidence of a “continued and coordinated push by official Chinese sources to deflect any blame”. It was revealed that wording was amended under pressure from China to say: “We see a continued and coordinated push by some actors, including Chinese sources, to deflect any blame”, and that according to "The New York Times" the office of the High Representative of the European Union, Josep Borrell, intervened to delay the release of the initial report to secure the desired change of wording. The scandal of self-censorship ensued after an email from a staff member EEAS which warned that the softening of the report would "set a terrible precedent and encourage similar coercion in the future", had been leaked to "the New York Times". Borrell ordered an internal investigation into the leak. Some EU agencies are involved in the European Union response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), located in Amsterdam, is involved in providing information about the coronavirus pandemic, expediting the development and approval of safe and effective treatments and vaccines, and supporting the continued availability of medicines in the European Union. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is the EU agency for disease prevention and control. It is involved in providing information and risk assessment for the COVID-19 disease, for the European Union, and possibly during the Brexit transition period for the UK. During a two days meeting, three days before the crisis starts in Italy, various countries had various views, but Germany has yet distributed PCR to 20 hospital and performed 1,000 tests and Italy observed the starvation of the EPI world market. Austria and Slovakia do not want to make people afraid. The agency emits weekly bulletins to provide information on threats monitored by ECDC. Those bulletins provide number of cases (by member definitions) and number of deaths, in each member states, in the EEA and in the UK, and most affected countries. It also provide Continental, EU, or EU/EEA+UK aggregates of those numbers. On 21 May 2020, the ECDC considers the first wave in 29 out of 31 countries (EU/EEA countries and the UK) has consistently decreasing trends in COVID-19 14-day case notification rates while the peak of the EU/EEA+UK aggregate was on 9 April 2020. Before the 22 May, ECDC and EASA, and Andrea Ammon ECDC directrice, considered a second wave could come, because the number of cases reported in may is greater than the number of cases reported in january/februery. On 28 May 2020, the ECDC published a Methodology to help public health authorities in the EU/EEA Member States and the UK to estimate point prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection by pooled RT-PCR testing, rather than reporting individual cases which underestimate the spread of the virus. Andrea Ammon considered that when people will wonder how the COVID-19 spread in Europe, the come back from ski holidays in the Alps during the first week of March could be seen as a specific time in spread of virus and disease in Europe. On 13 March 2020, the following COVID-19 related risks were assessed by the ECDC: Eurostat, a Directorate-General of the European Commission, published some data related to the Covid-19 response: The number of reported deaths does not provide best accuracy on pandemic fatalities, because some countries use slightly different ways to report those deaths. To avoid such discrepancies, a fatalities excess observatory named "European Mortality Monitoring" (EuroMomo) is weekly operated by Statens Serum Institute epidemiologists with data from 28 partners, from 24 countries. This project uses standardised methods to ease international comparisons. Lasse Vestergaard considers that deaths excess estimations are the best way to monitor COVID-19 fatalities. The EuroMoMo project computes a z-score number to rank those deaths excess. On 16 March, the EU Commission said that member states should recommend that their citizens remain within the EU to avoid spreading the virus in other countries. Under EU harmonization, France and Germany planned to reopen their internal (Schengen) borders on 15 June and their external border on 1 July. As of late June, the EU was considering admitting travelers from 15 countries: Algeria, Australia, Canada, China, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay. They planned to reopen borders to these travelers on 1 July. The UK left the EU on 31 January but remains part of the bloc’s single market during the transition period. This allowed coordination with the British government, without British involvement in the EU’s internal deliberations. Ireland and UK benefit from a 14-day quarantine due to the UK’s high infection rate Micro-states such as Andorra, Vatican City, Monaco and San Marino benefit from end of lockdown. On 28 May 2020, a Health Security Committee reports on COVID-19 outbreak suggest appropriate testing strategies is needed before starting the exit strategy. De-escalation of travel restrictions is wished to be coordinated at EU level. The questions related to the Schengen zone and movement within the EU is also in the scope of the Commission and Member States in the HOME Affairs group, and the ECDC. In the same time, an EU support for vaccination plan is under work. In early june 2020, Ylva Johansson, EU’s home affairs commissioner, reported most member states prefer strongly an additional short prolongation of the internal travel ban. Lifting is planned to be gradual, in July.. Under EU harmonization, France and Germany will reopen their internal (Schengen) borders on 15 Junewhile their external border should be reopened on 1 July. On 29 may, repatriation flights under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism led to 83,956 repatriations: 74,673 EU citizens and 9,283 non-EU citizens. On 18 March, the European Central Bank (ECB), headed by Christine Lagarde, announced the purchase of an additional 750 billion of European corporate and government bonds for the year. Lagarde urged the national governments of the member states to seriously consider a one-off joint debt issue of coronabonds. By early April the ECB announced its intention to push back strategy review from a late 2020 target to the middle of 2021. Former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi stated that member states should absorb coronavirus losses, rather than the private sector. He compared the impact of coronavirus to World War I. The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that "If we don't propose now a unified, powerful and effective response to this economic crisis, not only the impact will be tougher, but its effects will last longer and we will be putting at risk the entire European project", while the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte commented that "the whole European project risks losing its raison d'être in the eyes of our own citizens". Debates over how to respond to the epidemic and its economic fallout have opened up a rift between Northern and Southern European member states, reminiscent of debates over the 2010s European debt crisis. Nine EU countries—Italy, France, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Luxembourg—called for "corona bonds" (a type of eurobond) in order to help their countries to recover from the epidemic, on 25 March. Their letter stated, "The case for such a common instrument is strong, since we are all facing a symmetric external shock." Northern European countries such as Germany, Austria, Finland, and the Netherlands oppose the issuing of joint debt, fearing that they would have to pay it back in the event of a default. Instead, they propose that countries should apply for loans from the European Stability Mechanism. Corona bonds were discussed on 26 March 2020 in a European Council meeting, which was three hours longer than expected due to the "emotional" reactions of the prime ministers of Spain and Italy. Unlike the European debt crisis—partly caused by the affected countries—southern European countries did not cause the coronavirus pandemic, therefore eliminating the appeal to national responsibility. Several actions are performed by many EU countries to help other EU countries. From 4 to 19 March, Germany banned the export of personal protective equipment, and France also restricted exports of medical equipment, drawing criticism from EU officials who called for solidarity. Many Schengen Area countries closed their borders to stem the spread of the virus. A videoconference was held by the members of the European Council on 10 March, in which President Charles Michel presented four priority areas which the leaders had identified: At a second videoconference on 17 March, a fifth area was added: At the 17 March videoconference, leaders also agreed to place temporary restrictions on non-essential travel to the European Union for a period of 30 days. At their third videoconference on 26 March, Council members vowed to urgently increase capacities for testing for coronavirus infections, in view of WHO recommendations. On 9 April, finance ministers from the 19 Eurozone countries agreed to provide €240 billion in bailout funds to health systems, €200 billion in credit guarantees for the European Investment Bank, and €100 billion for workers who have lost wages. At their fourth videoconference held on 23 April, the European Council endorsed the plan, and called for the package to be operational by 1 June 2020. On the same occasion, the Council also tasked the European Commission with taking steps towards the establishment of a recovery fund, the size of which was expected to be at least around €1 trillion. Modalities of the latter fund were still disputed by member states, with France, Italy and Spain leading demands for grants to stricken economies, and Germany strongly favouring loans. On 27 May, the EU Commission proposed a recovery fund dubbed Next Generation EU, with grants and loans for every EU member state accounting for €500 billion and €250 billion respectively. This followed after extensive negotiations in which the so-called "frugal states", comprising Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, had rejected the idea of cash handouts, preferring loans instead. Under the proposal, the money raised on the capital market would be paid back between 2028 and 2058. Sixteen member nations of the European Union issued a statement warning that certain emergency measures issued by countries during the coronavirus pandemic could undermine the principles of rule of law and democracy on 1 April. They announced that they "support the European Commission initiative to monitor the emergency measures and their application to ensure the fundamental values of the Union are upheld." The statement does not mention Hungary, but observers believe that it implicitly refers to a Hungarian law granting plenary power to the Hungarian Government during the coronavirus pandemic. The following day, the Hungarian Government joined the statement. The Hungarian parliament passed the law granting plenary power to the Government by qualified majority, 137 to 53 votes in favour, on 30 March 2020. After promulgating the law, the President of Hungary, János Áder, announced that he had concluded that the time frame of the Government's authorisation would be definite and its scope would be limited. Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, stated that she was concerned about the Hungarian emergency measures and that it should be limited to what is necessary and Minister of State Michael Roth suggested that economic sanctions should be used against Hungary. The heads of thirteen member parties of the European People's Party (EPP) made a proposal to expunge the Hungarian Fidesz for the new legislation on 2 April. In response, Viktor Orbán expressed his willingness to discuss any issues relating to Fidesz's membership "once the pandemic is over" in a letter addressed to the Secretary General of EPP Antonio López-Istúriz White. Referring to the thirteen leading politicians' proposal, Orbán also stated that "I can hardly imagine that any of us having time for fantasies about the intentions of other countries. This seems to be a costly luxury these days." During a video conference of the foreign ministers of the European Union member states on 3 April 2020, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Péter Szijjártó, asked for the other ministers to read the legislation itself not its politically motivated presentations in newspapers before commenting on it. A survey performed in April by the European Council on Foreign Relations showed that most European citizens have perceived the EU as irrelevant wishing more EU cooperation, according to The Guardian. In France, 58% perceived the EU as irrelevant, while 61% perceived the Macron government had under-performed.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590050
2020 Kaohsiung mayoral recall vote The 2020 Kaohsiung mayoral recall vote was a recall election held on 6 June 2020 to recall the incumbent mayor of Kaohsiung, Han Kuo-yu. The recall was successful, as the number of "agree" votes (939,090) outnumbered "disagree" votes and exceeded the minimum requirement of 574,996. An acting mayor was appointed by the Executive Yuan and is to hold office until a by-election, tentatively scheduled for 15 August 2020. The vote is the largest-scale recall vote in Taiwan in terms of electorate, and is the first successful recall of a mayor or magistrate. Han Kuo-yu was elected mayor of Kaohsiung City in the 2018 local election. However, his popularity quickly dwindled after he began campaigning for the 2020 Taiwanese presidential election, leading to a recall proposal on 26 December 2019. On 17 January 2020, a petition to recall Han cleared the first threshold with 28,560 signatures, exceeding the required 1% of the electorate (22,814 signatures). On 7 April, the city's electoral commission verified that 377,662 of approximately 406,000 signatures collected in the second phase of the recall petition were valid, clearing the threshold of 10% of the electorate. The Central Election Commission certified the validity of collected signatures on 17 April, and scheduled a recall vote on 6 June 2020. Han contested the legality of the recall in court, claiming that petitioners had been collecting signatures before he had served a full year as mayor, in violation of Article 75 of the Civil Servants and Election and Recall Act. The motion was denied by the Taipei Administrative High Court on 17 April 2020. An appeal to the Taiwan Supreme Administrative Court was rejected on 7 May 2020. Han claimed that the recall vote would damage his reputation, interfere with his mayoral duties, burden other city officials, and delay municipal work programs. The Taipei High Administrative Court ruled against these arguments on 22 May. Residents of Kaohsiung City registered in the city continuously since 6 February 2020 and aged 20 or above on the day prior to the vote are eligible. The mayor is recalled if votes in favour of the recall outnumber those against and exceed one quarter of voters in the original electoral district (574,996). The Central Election Commission stated on 2 May 2020 that the 1,823 polling sites used in the 2018 mayoral election would be set up for the recall vote. The CEC released a statement by Han on 5 May, in which he emphasised the economic investment drawn to Kaohsiung during his mayoral administration. Polls were open from 08:00 to 16:00 on 6 June. The motion to recall Han garnered 939,090 votes favouring recall and 25,051 votes against recall. "Agree" votes accounted for 40.83% of eligible voters, exceeding the 25% minimum electoral threshold to pass it. Han conceded the vote shortly after polls closed. Kuomintang chairman Johnny Chiang stated that he accepted the outcome of the recall vote, and apologized to city residents for the party's shortcomings. The New Power Party said that the recall vote was a "victory for Taiwan’s democracy." The Taiwan People's Party commented that "the recall process — from the petition to the outcome of the vote — has written a new page in the history of the autonomy of regional politics in Taiwan." Approximately five hundred supporters of Han from around Taiwan gathered in Taipei on 13 June to protest his recall and the policies of the Tsai Ing-wen presidential administration. Former Kaohsiung City Office Counselor was appointed interim Mayor on 13 June by the Secretary-General of the Executive Council, Li Meng-yen, and a by-election for a new full-term Mayor will be held on 15 August.

Huarón Mining District The Huarón Mining District is one of the richest polymetallic (Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-(Au)) deposit clusters in Peru. It is located 20 km SSW of Cerro de Pasco, in the Huayllay District, Pasco Province, Pasco Department, between 4500 and 4700 m.a.s.l. The Huarón Mining District belongs to the Miocene polymetallic belt of the Central Andes.. Hydrothermal mineralization occurs as predominantly in N-S to NNW-SSW and E-W veins as well as in "mantos" replacing favorable sedimentary rock. Epithermal hydrothermal fluids are thought to be derived from quartz-monzonitic intrusions tentatively dated at 7.4 Ma (K-Ar on adularia). The most important economic minerals are tennantite‐tetrahedrite (containing most of the silver), sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. Silver is also found in pyrargyrite, proustite, polybasite, and pearceite. In the central copper core of the Huarón deposit, enargite occurs . Main gangue minerals are pyrite, quartz, rhodochrosite, and calcite. The following three mines operate presently in the Huarón Mining District: The mining company Volcan operates the Animón and Islay mines through its subsidiary Compañía Minera Chungar S.A.C. and uses the term "Mining Unit Chungar" ("Unidad minera Chungar") for the operation dealing with both mines, Islay and Animón. The use by Volcan of this term "Chungar Mining Unit"has caused some confusion, and certain sources (e.g., the data base "alicia.concytec.gob.pe", google maps , WoodMackenzie Report) use wrongly the term of "Chungar mine" for the Animón mine. The actual Chungar Mine (inactive) is located 16 km to the SW. Modern mining operations at the Huarón mine began in 1912 by Compagnie des Mines de Huarón, subsidiary of . In 1987 the Huarón mine was acquired by the Hochschild Group, and in 2000 by Pan American Silver. On April 22, 1998, the Naticocha Lake flooded underground workings of the Animón Mine and of the Huarón mine killing several miners and causing the suspension of the mining operations at both mines. Pan American Silver acquired Huarón from Hochschild in 2000 and reopened the mine in 2001 . Modern activity in the Animón mine started in the 1960s on extensions of veins kown in the Huarón mine. After the 1971 disaster at the Chungar Mine, Compañía Minera Chungar S.A.C. transferred its operations to Animón. In 2000, the mining company Volcan acquired Compañía Minera Chungar S.A.C. along with the Animón Mine. Subsequently Volcan opened the Islay mine Belmont International Open The Belmont International Open was a match-play golf tournament played at Belmont Country Club in Boston, Massachusetts from September 22 to 28, 1937. Prize money was $12,000. There was a 36-hole stroke-play stage played on September 22 and 23 after which the leading 64 players advanced to the match-play stage. Tony Manero led the stroke-play with a score of 140. 14 players on 153 had a playoff for 9 remaining places. Two 18-hole rounds were played on September 24 which reduced the field to 16. There were then four 36-hole rounds from September 25 to 28. Byron Nelson beat Henry Picard 5&4 in the final, taking the first prize of $3,000. The beaten semi-finalists were Harry Cooper and Ralph Guldahl. Robert Pipkins Robert Pipkins (born February 23, 1973) is an American luger. He competed at the 1992 Winter Olympics and the 1994 Winter Olympics. HMS Lagan HMS "Lagan" (K259) was a of the Royal Navy (RN). "Lagan" was built to the RN's specifications as a Group II River-class frigate. She served in the North Atlantic during World War II. As a River-class frigate, "Lagan" was one of 151 frigates launched between 1941 and 1944 for use as anti-submarine convoy escorts, named after rivers in the United Kingdom. The ships were designed by naval engineer William Reed, of Smith's Dock Company of South Bank-on-Tees, to have the endurance and anti-submarine capabilities of the sloops, while being quick and cheap to build in civil dockyards using the machinery (e.g. reciprocating steam engines instead of turbines) and construction techniques pioneered in the building of the s. Its purpose was to improve on the convoy escort classes in service with the Royal Navy at the time, including the Flower class. After commissioning in December 1942, "Lagan" served in convoy escort missions and participated in anti-submarine warfare exercises off Lough Foyle. On 12 May 1942, "Lagan", with and , sunk the . The next day, "Lagan" and sunk . Whilst "Lagan" was part of Convoy ON 202, she was attacked by . At 04:57 on 20 September 1943, a GNAT torpedo struck the stern of "Lagan", causing critical damage to the ship and 29 dead. She was towed by the tugboat to Mersey, arriving on 24 September, where "Lagan" was declared a constructive total loss. The wreck was sold for scrap in Troon on 21 May 1946.

List of Knights Bachelor appointed in 1907 Knight Bachelor is the oldest and lowest-ranking form of knighthood in the British honours system; it is the rank granted to a man who has been knighted by the monarch but not inducted as a member of one of the organised orders of chivalry. Women are not knighted; in practice, the equivalent award for a woman is appointment as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (founded in 1917). It was announced in the 1907 Birthday Honours that a knighthood was to be bestowed on Alfred Billson (the serving MP for North West Staffordshire), but he died before he received the accolade. On 19 August 1907, Edward VII declared that his widow, Lilla Billson, "shall have, hold and enjoy the style, title, place and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived to receive the honour of Knight Bachelor at the hands of His Majesty". Karl Keffer Karl Kaspar Keffer (1882 – October 22, 1955) was a Canadian professional golfer. He was the first and, as of 2019, remains the only Canadian-born winner of the Canadian Open. Keffer was born in Tottenham, Ontario. He was the head professional at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club for over thirty years until his retirement in 1943 due to ill health, and was a founder member of the PGA of Canada. Until 1942, he also worked as the professional at Jekyll Island Club on Jekyll Island, Georgia during the winters. His biggest achievements as a tournament player came in the national open championship, which he won twice, in 1909 and 1914, and finished as runner-up in 1919. He also won the provincial opens of Manitoba and Quebec. Keffer has been widely recognised for his achievements and contributions to golf, highlighted by his induction into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 1986. He has also been inducted into the PGA of Canada, Ontario Golf and Quebec Golf halls of fame. Bill Williams (rugby league) Bill Williams (1899 – 21 November 1927) was Kiwi number 123. He played in 4 test matches for New Zealand debuting in 1919 and last playing for them in 1921. Williams played for the Newton Rangers club in Auckland from 1915 to 1924. Williams was a forward and made his debut for the Newton Rangers senior team in 1915 aged just 16. With so many men going away to fight in the war the senior ranks became populated by very young players and older players as teams struggled to continue to field sides. Auckland played very few representative matches during the war years and he wasn’t to debut for Auckland until 1918. He played in a trial match on 7 September to help pick the Auckland side. He was then picked for the Auckland team and was part of the 45–9 win over Canterbury played at the Auckland Domain in front of 10,000 spectators. In 1919 Williams had a very busy season. He played in a New Zealand trial match on 14 May and was part of the A Team which lost 14–15. He was subsequently selected for the New Zealand team to tour Australia. On 24 May he made his New Zealand debut in a match against Auckland prior to the teams departure for Australia. New Zealand won the match 25–19. Williams was to play in 10 of the 11 tour matches which along with Stan Walters was the most of any of the touring 22. He played in 4 losses to New South Wales (18–23, 9–20, 31–39, and 19–22), 2 losses to Queensland (13–26, 13–16) and wins over Tamworth (21–13), Northern Division (11–8), Rockhampton (23–0), and Toowoomba (42–14). He scored twice in the thrashing of Toowoomba which was the final match of the tour. He played in the second row in all the matches aside from the wins over Tamworth and Northern Division where he played at hooker. A month later the Australian side was to tour New Zealand playing 9 matches including 4 tests. Williams was to become very familiar with the tourists after he played in all 4 tests and a match for Auckland against them. Williams test debut came in the 21–44 defeat at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in front of 8,000 spectators. A week later Williams was part of the victorious New Zealand team in the second test with New Zealand winning 26–10 at Sydenham Park, Christchurch in front of 7,200 fans. Williams scored the first try early in the match after taking a pass from Karl Ifwersen and scoring near the corner. The third test was played in Auckland and Williams played in front of 20,000 spectators at the Auckland Domain. New Zealand went down 23–34. Williams was to play his final test match for New Zealand in the 4th test once again at the Auckland Domain. New Zealand was completely outplayed by the Australians who won by 32 points to 2 in front of 15,000. Following the match Williams was selected to play for Auckland against Australia. For this match Williams moved into the front row but again had a hard time of it with Auckland defeated 8–32 in front of a crowd of 15,000 at the Auckland Domain. In 1920 Williams did not play rugby league but returned to the field in 1921, again wearing the Newton jersey. He was selected to play for New Zealand again on their tour of Australia and he played for them against the Auckland team at the Auckland Domain prior to leaving for Australia. New Zealand won 22–16 with Williams scoring a try just before halftime to take the lead out to 13–8. Williams played in the first 4 tour matches and the final match. New Zealand was thrashed 56 points to 9 by New South Wales with Williams playing in the second row. He was to play all of his matches in this position. He had a happier time of it in the second match against Queensland 25–12 in front of 35,000 spectators. Despite the opponents being from the north the match was played at Sydney Cricket Ground. Williams crossed for a try in the second half. Williams travelled north to Brisbane where New Zealand were defeated by Queensland 16–21 on 11 June at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground. Queensland again defeated New Zealand 8–3 a week later with Williams once again playing in the second row. He wasn’t to play again until the final tour match against Newcastle which New Zealand won 27–14 the Newcastle Showgrounds in very wet conditions. This was to be the last time Williams would pull on the New Zealand jersey. After the tour Williams returned to Auckland where he was to play 3 matches in an Auckland jumper. He played in a 31–8 win over Wellington in what was the first ever match for Auckland on Carlaw Park. He then played in an 18–3 defeat of Hawke’s Bay, and a 58–25 thrashing of King Country. Williams played 3 more seasons for Newton before seemingly giving the game up. In 1924 he did have the bizarre distinction of kicking an unintentional drop goal during a club match against Ponsonby United. Williams was dribbling the ball down the field when he kicked it over the cross bar before falling on it thinking he had scored a try. However the referee had already blown his whistle to award the 2 points for the drop goal rather than the three for the try. Bill Williams died on 21 November 1927 aged just 28 when the 12 ft mullet yacht he was sailing capsized on its way from Milford on Auckland’s North Shore to Islington Bay on Rangitoto Island. Williams who was said to be a good sailor had persuaded Stanley John Easdown to go with him to Islington Bay to go fishing and shooting. They later saw James Bowman at Milford and he asked them if he could also go. The lone survivor (Easdown) went through harrowing conditions both in the water and once ashore on Rangitoto Island in an attempt to find help. A search failed to find either his body or that of James Bowman. Williams was married and living in Takapuna at the time with his wife and family. Paul Balog, Bishop of Veszprém Paul from the kindred Balog (; died between January and March 1275) was a Hungarian prelate in the 13th century, who served as Bishop of Veszprém from 1263 until his death. Simultaneously, he also held various positions in the royal court. Paul was born around 1227. His parentage is unknown. He had two brothers, including Benedict, who served as "ispán" of Veszprém County in 1269. He was called Benedict of Árma in 1266, after his ownership of a village in Bars County (present-day an uninhabited waste in Málaš, Slovakia). Paul's another, unidentified brother was the father of his namesake nephew, who was elevated into the dignity of Bishop of Pécs at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Benedict had two sons, Michael and Paul. Several historians consider that Paul and his family belonged to the Szécsi branch of the "gens" (clan) Balog, based on the 15th-century Pauline friar Gergely Gyöngyösi's "Vitae fratrum Eremitarum Ordinis Sancti Pauli Primi Eremitae", but it is not without doubt. Historian Gyula Pauler claimed Paul originated from the clan Tétény, but his contemporary, genealogist János Karácsonyi, refused this. György Györffy argued the "Árma branch" of the "gens" Hont-Pázmány consisted of Paul and his brothers, but Pál Engel did not connect them to the widely extended kindred in his genealogical work. Archaeologist Gábor Vékony assumed Paul might be a member of the "gens" Szalók. Nevertheless, the majority of historians accepted that both prelates with the name Paul came from the Balog kindred. According to historian István Hajnal, Paul was identical with that namesake clergyman, who was referred to as royal chaplain and papal vicar in the court of Béla IV of Hungary in 1245. However, that document later proved to be a forgery. It is also possible he is identical with that royal chaplain Paul, who was entrusted by the king to arrange in the possession matters of the "gens" Hahót in Zala County, assisting the work of "ispán" Arnold Hahót in 1237 (of course, in this case, the presumed date of birth cannot be maintained). Paul served as "lector" of the cathedral chapter of Esztergom from around 1251 to 1255, according to Gábor Vékony. Paul elevated into the position of provost of Pressburg (present-day Bratislava, Slovakia) by November 1256, when he was first mentioned in this capacity. He served as vice-chancellor in the royal court of Béla IV from 1259 to 1262. Paul was elected provost of Fehérvár by December 1260, responsible for issuing royal diplomas. He held both dignities until the summer of 1262, when he was replaced by Farkas Bejc as provost and vice-chancellor. Paul Balog succeeded Zlaudus Ják as Bishop of Veszprém at the turn of 1262 and 1263. He was first styled as bishop by a contemporary document in April 1263. Besides that, he was employed in the retinue of Queen Maria Laskarina, wife of Béla IV. He served as chancellor of the queenly court from 1263 until Queen Maria's death in 1270 (in documents, he bore the title for the last time in 1269). He was the first bishop of Veszprém, who held that office; later, the two positions were often filled by the same prelate. In 1262 the hermit Eusebius of Esztergom went to Rome with his companions to meet Pope Urban IV to ask him for approval for founding his own order. He had the support of Thomas Aquinas and Cardinal Stephen I Báncsa. The pope first refused to give Eusebius his permission because of financial conditions and asked Paul Balog to examine the monasteries in 1263. Following investigations, a new regula was given the congregation by Paul, fundamentally contributing to the formal formation of the monastic order, the Pauline Fathers or more officially, the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit. His role was also preserved by the 15th-century Pauline friar Gergely Gyöngyösi in his manuscript. Paul also confirmed the collection right of tithe to the nuns of Veszprém Valley, granted by one of his predecessors, Robert in 1210. King Béla IV restored the previously confiscated revenues and usurped privileges to the Diocese of Veszprém in 1269. The monarch also confirmed the bishop of Veszprém's right of crowning the queen consort of Hungary, which they claimed many times being an established tradition since 1216). Despite that Paul was a faithful supporter of King Béla IV and Queen Maria in the 1260s (he was referred to as a member of the royal council in 1267), which period was characterized by civil war conditions with their eldest son and heir Duke Stephen, the bishop was able to retain his influence after the death of Béla IV and the coronation of Stephen V in May 1270. It is possible that Paul performed the coronation and anointment of Elizabeth the Cuman as queen consort in the same time, but there is no specific source for that. After a short war between Stephen V and his long-time rival, Ottokar II of Bohemia in the spring of 1271, Paul Balog led a Hungarian delegation to Pressburg, where negotiated with Ottokar's envoy, Bruno von Schauenburg, Bishop of Olomouc. The peace treaty was signed on 2 July 1271. After the death of Stephen V, Paul Balog was made chancellor in the royal court of the minor Ladislaus IV. He first appeared in this capacity on 15 November 1272. He was deprived from his office and was replaced by Philip Türje some days after 9 December. However, the elderly archbishop died on 18 December, and Paul regained the position by January 1273. He was again dismissed as chancellor two months later, when Nicholas Kán appeared in this capacity. For the third time, Paul was reinstated as chancellor around June 1273 and now, he was able to retain the dignity until his death. These rapid changes also well presented the chaotic years during the minority of Ladislaus IV, when various baronial factions fought for the supreme power. Paul performed the coronation of Ladislaus' spouse Isabella of Sicily as queen consort sometime between 11 and 16 July 1273, according to her reminiscence from 1280. Paul Balog was last mentioned as a living person on 2 January 1275. He died by March, when the position of Bishop of Veszprém was in a vacancy. He was succeeded by Peter Kőszegi around May 1275. According to the 18th-century historian and librarian György Pray ("Dissertationes histori- co-criticae in Annales veteres Hunnorum, Avarum et Hungarorum", 1774), Paul Balog was identical with the chronicler Anonymus (or Master P.), author of the "Gesta Hungarorum". Archaeologist Gábor Vékony shared this viewpoint. Consequently, Vékony claimed the work was completed in the second half of the 13th century, unlike the majority of modern scholars, who argued Anonymus was a notary of Béla III of Hungary (r. 1172–1196). The chronicler dedicated his work to a former schoolmate "the most venerable man N", this address implies Anonymus had to be a prelate. Vékony argued Anonymus (Paul) deliberately wrote his "apocryphal "gesta"" as if he were a contemporary of Béla I of Hungary (r. 1060–1063). The author knew Veszprém, Komárom and the surrounding area well, where from Paul and his family originated. During his tenure as its chancellor, Queen's Chancellery issued a charter for Paul's brother Benedict in 1265, in which the term is included ""de genere Turda"", referring to the "gens" Tardos (or Tordos), which owned lands in the same area. Beside that, the name "Turda" appears exclusively in the "Gesta Hungarorum". Vékony argued the phraseological similarity (place names, geographical names) between the "Gesta Hungarorum" and the establishing charter of the abbey of Százd proves that Paul Balog was present, when Béla IV transcribed the latter in 1267. The historian added, similarities between the work and Béla's "Tartar letter" (c. 1248) also proves that Paul belonged to the close retinue of the Hungarian monarch by that time. Vékony found phraseological identities also between the "gesta" and his "regula" provided for the Pauline friars in 1263. Based on his hypothesis, Vékony considered that Paul Balog attended a foreign "universitas" sometime between 1237 and 1248. Anonymus had a detailed knowledge of literacy works, for instance, he had found pleasure in reading the "Trojan History", a work attributed to Dares Phrygius. During Paul's tenure (perhaps he himself was responsible for its establishment), there was an illustrious cathedral chapter school in Veszprém (but not "universitas", as Vékony incorrectly claimed), containing a sizable library and archives. However, Palatine Peter Csák's troops (as enemy of the Kőszegis, thus also Peter Kőszegi, during the 1270s civil war) devastated and pillaged the whole Diocese of Veszprém in 1276, the school was never rebuilt. According to the account of the late Paul Balog's namesake nephew, then a canon at Veszprém, his own damages amounted to around 4,000 marks, including the loss of his books (1000 marks), which he "inherited from his progenitors". Vékony argued these manuscripts and chronicles were initially part of the elder Paul's collection, who used these works for writing the "Gesta Hungarorum". Vékony claimed Paul Balog (Anonymus) knew and despised the "gesta" of his contemporary Ákos. Also a former chancellor in the queenly court, they had personal conflicts each other, in addition to various lawsuits between the Diocese of Veszprém and the Provostry of Óbuda (where Ákos was provost) over numerous possessions. Thus, Paul Balog had to wrote his "Gesta Hungarorum" after Ákos' work, most presumably in 1273, when he was replaced as royal chancellor by Nicholas Kán for a relatively longer time. Paul's confrontation with his successor (who belonged to the rival baronial group in that time) contributed to that the author of "Gesta Hungarorum" indicated the "gens" Kán of "unknown origin" (while "magister" Ákos derived them from the lineage of "gyulas"). While Paul was a partisan of the "gens" Csák during the 1270s feudal anarchy, Ákos stood with their rival, the Kőszegi family (he possibly intentionally placed their arrival to the age of Grand Prince Géza [r. 972–997], emphasizing its ancient origin, while in fact, they only came to Hungary in the 1140s). In addition to Ákos, Vékony claimed that Simon of Kéza, author of the "Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum" knew and used Anonymus' work (against the mainstream position). To substantiate the claim, Vékony argued Simon attended the chapter school of Veszprém between 1273 and 1276 (where read the "Gesta Hungarorum"), before moving to a foreign "universitas". After the devastation of Veszprém in 1276, Anonymus' "gesta" somehow went abroad and disappeared for centuries. Several historians, including Gyula Kristó, László Veszprémy and Gábor Thoroczkay did not accept Gábor Vékony's theory, also refusing the "Gesta Hungarorum"'s assumed time of compilation to the time of King Béla IV. In addition, Thoroczkay argued Vékony did not take into account a number of facts which would have contradicted his theory (for instance, that Anonymus had a detailed knowledge of the lands along the upper courses of the river Tisza, in the opposite part of the kingdom from that region, where Paul Balog lived and operated). His text comparisons are arbitrarily selected examples to match the identification of Paul with the chronicler, and there are also phraseological similarities with other documents, which Paul had nothing to do with, as Thoroczkay added. Liga IV Bistrița-Năsăud Liga IV Bistrița-Năsăud is the county football division of Liga IV for clubs based in Bistrița-Năsăud County, România. The competition is ranked as the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system and it is competed amongst 16 teams divided into 2 series, the winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending of the result of a promotion play-off that is disputed against a winner of the neighboring counties series. In 1968, along with the territorial reorganization of the country, but also due to the large number of requests, the Romanian Football Federation proposes a competitive system in which each county has its own football championship, which will activate the former teams in the regional championship as well as the racing and town championship teams from the previous edition. The champions of each county association play one another in a play-off to promote to the Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion. Wing of Fire Wing of Fire is the first full-length album by American musician Robert Hazard, released in January 1984 by RCA Records. It was released two years after his successful EP "Robert Hazard". "Hard Hearted" was the only single released from the album, which was in Canada. The album's sales and performance suffered due to too much management involvement and after only selling 89,000 copies of the album, RCA dropped Hazard.

Gibson was the son of Colonel George Gibson, commanding officer of the 1st Virginia State Regiment during the Revolutionary War, and later killed in action at the Battle of Wabash 1791 during the Northwest Indian War. When the army expanded in 1808, Gibson was commissioned captain from civilian life in the 5th Infantry. He was promoted to major in the 7th Infantry in 1811. During the War of 1812, Gibson was taken prisoner of war at the battle of Queenston Heights in 1812. Later exchanged, he was in 1813 promoted to lieutenant colonel in the 5th Infantry. After the end of the war, the large reduction in army size led to his honorable discharge from his regiment. Gibson was, however, in 1816 appointed one of two Quartermaster Generals with colonel's rank. He served in the First Seminole War under Andrew Jackson who commended him for his achievements. A reorganization of the Department of War created a distinct military organization in charge of army victualling, and in 1818 Gibson became the first Commissary General of Subsistence with colonel's rank; an office he held until the beginning of the Civil War. He died in 1861, 86 years old and the oldest serving officer in the army.

He was also known as Sultan Alauddin or Kaicili Ngaro (Naro), ruling from 1627 to 1634. Due to a combination of factors he was deposed after a short reign and was eventually killed at the instigation of the Sultan of Ternate. Kaicili (prince) Ngaro or Ngarolamo was the only son of Sultan Mole Majimu, being born around 1590. He was consequently groomed as Mole's successor and was co-ruling Tidore in the 1610s since his father was already quite old. Mole complained about the headstrong character of his son, who made unauthorized efforts to marry the widowed Queen of Jailolo, a princess from the rival Sultanate of Ternate. He was also a warrior of some note; in 1614 he raided Morotai, ostensibly to prevent it from moving over to Ternate and the VOC. This irritated the Spanish allies since he killed two baptized rulers and enslaved numbers of Christian people. Nor was he entirely popular among the Tidorese elite due to his habit of taking advantage of the wives of married men. His cousin and rival Kaicili Gorontalo, on the other hand, commanded much respect, though he stayed in Ternate. When the old Mole Majimu passed away in 1627, Ngarolamo nevertheless succeeded to the throne. Like his predecessors he was dependent on the Spanish who were established in a number of fortresses on Tidore Island and were the arch-rivals of the Dutch East India Company who dominated most of Maluku. There was a state of low-intensive warfare between Tidore and Ternate and their respective European allies. Early in his reign, Ngarolamo irritated the Spanish authorities by forbidding his subjects to sell cloves to the Spanish captain of Tidore, as had previously been the case. He also negotiated with Sultan Hamza of Ternate who wished to marry his daughter. The Dutch, hearing this, made efforts to stop the marriage between an ally and an enemy, and managed to postpone it. Captain Pedro de Heredia considered that Ngarolamo leagued with the Dutch, while many Tidorese grandees also wanted the get rid of the Sultan. Finally Hamza of Ternate brought forward Kaicili Gorontalo, who was said to be the most legitimate heir to the kingship, and helped him over to Tidore Island. Gorontalo was acknowledged as lawful ruler with the approbation of Captain Heredia in April 1634. He and his associates then attacked Ngarolamo who still had followers in the royal settlement Soa Siu. Though reputed to be a good and valiant warrior, the Sultan had to flee his kingdom in the end. The ever-scheming Hamza gave him sanctuary in Ternate, provided that he finally gave him his daughter in marriage. The Dutch were discontented with the self-willed kingmaking activities of Hamza which might increase the powers of Ternate in a way detrimental to Company interests, but there was little they could do. With the new and the deposed Tidorese Sultans both indebted to him, Hamza could pursue his interests in the periphery of Maluku with little interference from Tidore. The Spanish authorities in the Philippines were also less than happy about Heredia's overbearing policy in supporting Ngarolamo's expulsion. Ngarolamo stayed on in Malayu in Ternate for some years, but always hoped to regain his throne. In his debauched and impoverished state he began to negotiate with the Spanish, asking to stay among them. The Spanish authorities in Manila, on their part, entertained advanced plans to reinstall Ngarolamo as Sultan. Hamza got wind of this and realized that the old king was a potential threat and might be used for Spanish machinations. He and the Ternatan grandees therefore decided his death in 1639 with the full knowledge of Sultan Gorontalo. Since Hamza did not want the regicide to take place in Ternate, the ex-ruler was brought to Jailolo in Halmahera on a boat, ostensibly to make a residence for him there. During the passage, three Tidorese boats showed up. As the crews dared not come near him out of respect, they shot him with their muskets from a distance. The body of Ngarolamo was brought to Ternate and buried on 15 July. However, Gorontalo himself was in turn murdered by a Spanish delegation some weeks later. Ngarolamo's son Saidi was appointed Sultan in his stead.

Thunderstrock Festival Thunderstrock Festival is a heavy metal music festival which takes place in Ranchi of Jharkhand, India. Thunderstrock is a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and charity concert and its idea is to support and encourage the live bands along with the hard rock and heavy metal music listeners of Ranchi and the state of Jharkhand in India. Simultaneously, the idea is to donate the income generated from the sale of tickets to groups (or NGOs) working for the welfare of society. The idea of Thunderstrock emerged back in the year 2008, the idea was to generate funds for Jharkhand Rock Music Association (JRMA) so that JRMA could further plan concerts for rock bands of Ranchi. The initiative was further taken up by band members from Kaalmantra, Genesis and Sonu Chhetry from the band Sparsh, which were the prominent bands of that time. The first season of Thunderstrock was held in August 2008 at Hotel Ashok in Ranchi. As the initiators for the concept of Thunderstrock, Kaalmantra and Genesis took up the stage that year. These bands were already famous with the rock music lovers of Ranchi, hence the footfall for the concert was immense and the show managed to fetch around Rs. 25,000 (around $580, according to exchange rates for 2008) which was later donated to JRMA by Mr K.C. Shashidhar, the Chief General Manager of NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development). The second season happened in July 2009. Kaalmantra, Genesis and JRMA being the organizers this time. The event was brought forward with an agenda of spreading awareness among youth on the evils of alcoholism and child labour. Along with that, the festival was organized with an intention to support Yuwa-India which is an NGOs that empowers girls by combating child marriage, illiteracy and human trafficking in Jharkhand through football and education. This season also featured bands like Hypnotize, Kaos and none other than Sparsh which was the leading rock band of Ranchi back then. The show was a huge success and again it collected Rs. 25,000 ($543, according to the exchange rates of 2010) and a donation was made to Yuwa-India after the show. By the end of 2010s came the downfall in the audience count for rock and metal music in Ranchi. This really affected the footfall of the audience in the festival especially in a city like Ranchi which is a small city and has not much of people listening to rock and metal music. Also, the initiators of the festival got jobs and moved on leaving the festival for a break. Even though Thunderstrock as a proper festival never happened in these years but the concept and the idea were used to organize other small scale DIY event in the city. The gap was witnessed with the rise of other Do-It-Yourself (DIY) festivals in the city which followed the same momentum in which this festival was started. The fourth season happened on 7th September 2014 and from here on, Highway 69's vocalist Tarang Kerketta took the initiative of organizing this festival. For the first time, it was organized in an open-air style which experienced a footfall of around 2500. The season featured bands like Death Note (present-day Reciprocal), Destiny (present-day Iris 13), Virus, Error 404, Highway 69, Genesis and the leading rock band of Darjeeling named Head Motif. The donations of that year went to Harmu Football Academy. Having organized this festival on such a large scale for the first time, the next season in 2015 could not be conducted as there was a shortage of funds as the festival has got no backing from sponsors which is the major barrier to organizing this festival annually. This one year gap in 2015 led to the failure of organizing this festival in 2016 and 2017 as well. Also, a reason being that the initiator Tarang Kerketta was very much occupied with Highway 69 shows across India. After four years of silence, the thunder struck again and Thunderstrock festival took place on 23rd September 2018 in which What Escapes Me from Kolkata was the headliners along with Astitva (present-day Existence), Genesis and Highway 69 in the line-up. Unlike the previous year, where the festival was advertised and promoted in the newspapers and social media, the festival in 2018 lacked in these aspects. Also on the same day, there was a cultural festival going in St. Xavier's College, Ranchi which pulled a lot of audience football. Even though the festival experienced a strong footfall of 1500 people and it is actually a huge number in a city like Ranchi and especially in a time when the metal music scene is completely down in all over India and people usually don't turn up to attend or buy the tickets to a metal music concert. The 2019 line-up had the initiators of this festival that is Sparsh (rebranded as Sparsh 2.0) from Ranchi, modern metal band Reciprocal from Ranchi who have performed in 2014 under the name Death Note, math-rock (with Djent elements) band Bipolar Shadows all the way from Gangtok, Sikkim, progressive metal band Cross Affinity from Bhubaneswar, Odisha and folk metal band Atript as the headliners from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. The bands Bipolar Shadows and Cross Affinity were chosen by the festival's manager, Tarun Paul Kachhap along with the band members of Highway 69 based on their performance at Battle of Bands competitions held in Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar and Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad respectively. This time the festival was organized in a new location which had a parking space problem along with that on the same day (just like the previous year), there was a cultural festival going in St. Xavier's College, Ranchi just which pulled a lot of audience football. The festival experienced a downfall in the audience and had 700-800 audience count. The Festival today stands as a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) heavy metal charity concert in Eastern India which is completely funded by the organizers and the profits are used for charitable purposes. The festival is dedicated to bringing independent and newly emerging live acts based in rock, metal and it's sub-genres along with helping the groups and NGOs working in the welfare of the society. The festival aims at making itself as a popular music festival just like NH7 Weekender, Bangalore Open Air, Control Alt Delete, Great Indian Rock, Independence Rock Festival etc and to highlight Ranchi on India's music concert map. They are now gearing up for 2020, with bringing the first-ever Battle of Bands competition organized by Thunderstrock Festival called "#RoadToThunderstrock". Road To Thunderstrock (often stylized as #RoadToThunderstrock) is a band contest which was started in 2020. The participating bands have to compete against each other at the Road To Thunderstrock and shortlisted top two finalists perform as the opening act during the Thunderstrock Festival where the best one is declared as the winner of the festival. The very first season of the competition was scheduled to be held in April 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India the country experienced a nationwide lockdown which postponed the event. The festival received entries not only from their home ground Ranchi or the nearby city of Jamshedpur but from many cities like Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Delhi, Gangtok, Kolkata, Shillong and even from the neighbouring country of Nepal. As the festival is a charitable event so there is no cash price money or recording deals that can be offered to the winners. The winners receive is a medal and certificate and the festival is looking forward to reimbursing the travel, food and stay expenses of the finalist bands if the budget allows them. Thunderstrock Festival was started with the initiative to promote music as well as to help the people in need. Every year the income generated from the festival is donated to various groups and organizations that are working in the welfare of the society. At the early years of the festival, the money was donated to Jharkhand Rock Music Association (JRMA) so that JRMA can organize more music festivals that can promote the live music culture in Jharkhand. Later on, the festival worked with Yuwa-India in 2009-2010. Since 2014, the festival is working with Harmu Football Academy and donates the income generated to the academy who in return buy the necessary sports equipment for the players in the academy and the festival also gives free entry to the students of the academy at the festival.

Richard Clapton – The Definitive Anthology The Definitive Anthology is the third greatest hits album by Australian rock musician Richard Clapton.

The album covers songs from his career in chronological order, including two new tracks. The album peaked at number 28 on the ARIA Charts. Talking about the track selection Clapton said "It was not a simple project, as there is so much music and culling it was painful at times. But it was a lot of fun. I looked back at my earlier songs when I was compiling this and I found that the naivete of some of them was really quite cute. I had a lot of fun with it." Warner Music said "One of the beauties of the "Richard Clapton Definitive Anthology" is simply the timelessness of his songs. The music, the song structures, the imagery and that distinctive voice all combines to create a sense of warmth and knowing, but doesn't allow any song to be pigeon-holed into any particular time frame." Continuing to say "From the opening bar of track one, to the final moments of the album, this is an astonishing bed of work from a singer, performer and master songwriter- an artist who has been as much a part of the musical lives of hippies, surfers, inner city dwellers and corporate suits. There is no song that you will skip past and no song that is not familiar. It's actually amazing just how many times you'll find yourself singing along to songs that you didn't realise you knew. Such is the power and subtle skills of Richard's words and blissful waves of gentle rock." Roberts Suharevs Roberts Suharevs (born 27 January 1970) is a Latvian luger.

Home Entertainment. It is the tenth Lego DC Comics film. The film was released on digital on April 28, and on Blu-ray/DVD on June 16, 2020. A new hero known as Shazam has made his debut and is attracting the attention of the media for his sudden arrival and polite mannerisms. Unbeknownst to the public, he is actually a young orphan boy named Billy Batson. When Superman begins to grow jealous of Shazam, his hope is restored when he gets the chance to fend off the Monster Society of Evil when they attempt to steal food for their master Mister Mind, though he is eventually forced to call upon Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern for help. Witnessing this, Shazam decides to aid the Justice League, demonstrating his powers to them in the process and forcing the Monster Society to retreat. Impressed by Shazam's capabilities, the League invite him to the Hall of Justice where they offer Shazam membership. Shazam dismisses their offer, believing that they will reject him if they discover his true age. Consulting The Wizard who gave him his powers for advice, Shazam is told that relationships are built on trust and that he should be more open to the Justice League. Sensing a disturbance, the Wizard then tells Shazam to go help the Justice League when they follow the Monster Society to their warehouse hideout, which Shazam agrees to do. Unfortunately, Mister Mind manages to capture the Justice League and, using a chemical concocted by Doctor Sivana, transforms them into children, making them more susceptible to his mind control. Although de-aged, Batman manages to avoid being mind-controlled and escapes to the Batcave with Shazam's help. Learning that Batman is reluctant to trust him, Shazam reveals his secret identity to Batman while also recounting his origin story to him: After , Billy Batson continued to go about his daily routine, while also generously helping out others in need (whom, unbeknownst to him, are the Wizard in disguise). Billy is eventually led into a subway station, where he boards a bizarre-looking train that takes him to the Rock of Eternity, where he meets the wizard in person. The wizard explains that he disguised himself as ordinary citizens to test Billy's purity of heart and see if he was worthy of becoming his new champion after the previous champion, Black Adam became corrupted by his power and was sealed away. Accepting the Wizard's offer, Billy is gifted his new powers and proceeds to spend his days as Shazam, while also enjoying the perks of being an adult. Billy then explains that despite everything, he still longs for a family of his own. Relating to Billy's status as an orphan, Batman reveals his secret identity to Billy and explains that he too is an orphan and becomes more trusting of Billy. Across the world, the mind-controlled Justice Leaguers proceed to steal large quantities of food for Mister Mind, but one by one they are located by Batman and Shazam and freed from Mister Mind's control. Reunited, the Justice League devise a plan to infiltrate the Monster Society's lair by pretending to capture Batman and Shazam and bring them to Mister Mind. Unfortunately, they are swiftly exposed and forced to fight their way to Mister Mind, ultimately defeating the Monster Society. When Shazam and the Justice League encounter Mister Mind, they discover that he has undergone metamorphosis and grown into a giant moth. The group attempt to escape to the Rock of Eternity to gain help from the Wizard, but Mister Mind follows them and proceeds to devour the Rock, resulting in him increasing in size and freeing Black Adam from his imprisonment. Black Adam betrays Mister Mind by using his powers to reduce Mister Mind to his caterpillar form and send him hurtling through space. Seeking vengeance against the Wizard, Black Adam attacks the Rock and the Justice League is overwhelmed by him. The Wizard attempts to hold Black Adam back long enough for Shazam and the Justice League to escape back to Earth, while reminding Shazam about the power of Zeus. Returning to Earth, knowing Black Adam will be coming for them, the Justice League make preparations and rebuild their vehicles to account for their reduced stature. Arriving on Earth, Black Adam announces his intentions to rule over it with an iron fist. The Justice League and Shazam arrive and face him, but he still proves to be too much for them to handle and destroys their vehicles. Remembering the Wizard's advice and how Black Adam was able to depower Mr Mind, Shazam shares his power among the Justice League, enhancing their abilities and returning them to their normal age, while revealing his secret identity to them in the process. The Justice Leaguers are not upset by Billy's true age and tell him that the age of a hero doesn't matter as long as they do the right thing. Using their enhanced abilities, the Justice League is able to defeat Black Adam. Billy then reabsorbs his powers from the League and Black Adam, restoring his Shazam powers, while Black Adam's powers are taken in the process, reducing him to a mortal man. With Black Adam arrested and their adulthood restored, the Justice League show their gratitude by reuniting Billy with his sister Mary and their Uncle Dudley. In a mid-credit scene, Lobo manages to apprehend Mister Mind and plans to collect a $1,000,000,000,000 bounty placed on his head, much to Mister Mind's dismay.

The "Pacific Islands Monthly" called it "a sexy piece." "The Bulletin" said "Well written and swift-moving, with touches of interesting characterisation and much lurid lore of the country, the novel passes away an hour or so pleasantly enough; but by the adoption of these dime-novel plots Mr. West really removes his work from serious consideration." Gallows on the Sand Gallows on the Sand is a 1956 novel by Morris West. It was the first novel he published under his own name.

Renn has to deal with islander Johnny Akimoto, gambling house owner Manny Mannix and beautiful young scientist Pat Mitchell. The "Argus" said "in spite of a tendency to the rather slick "Randy Stone" radio style, it is a bright, exciting yarn, guaranteed to take your mind off workaday cares. " The "Pacific Island Monthly" called it "a buried treasure trifle." The same magazine later said it was "one of the first novels written by this world wide, best-seller author and long before he found his metier in the by-ways of Roman Catholicism," adding the book "only goes to prove how far a novelist with what it takes can travel in seven years.

Národní sdružení odborových organizací Národní sdružení odborových organizací ('National Association of Trade Union Organizations') was a trade union centre in the Czechoslovakia. Politically it was linked to the right-wing National Democratic Party. The centre was organized by the former socialist Josef Hudec. As of 1929 organization was divided in 7 sections (mining section, textile section, metalworkers section, general trades section, sugar workers section, municipal and state employees section and waiters section) and had 304 branches. The organization was founded on April 10, 1921. Its ideological precursor "Všeodborové sdružení" ('All Trade Union Association') was founded on January 26, 1910, changing its name to "Česká dělnická jednota" ('Czech Workers Unity') in 1912. The name "Národní sdružení odborových organizací' was adopted in 1921. It was often labelled as the 'yellow' trade union movement. Whilst smaller than the main trade union centres, it functioned as a gathering point for right-wing workers. It had fascist tendencies and rejected any compromise with the left-wing. Its membership consisted mainly of white-collar employees from Bohemia and Moravia. The organization had its headquarters on 6 Hálkova street, Prague. Antonín Pondělíček was the central chairman of the organization, J. Svoboda its secretary. By 1925 it claimed to have some 4,000 members. In the 1928 elections to mine workers councils, it was the fourth largest union and won 75 out of 1,308 council seats nationwide. In the Ostrava region it won 50 out of 341 council seats. By 1929, it claimed to have 29,127 members. In August 1929, the "Svaz báňských, střelců a dozorců v Moravské Ostravě" ('Union of Mining Shooters and Supervisors of Moravian Ostrava'), with 425 members, affiliated itself with the organization but maintained themselves as an autonomous unit. In 1931, the organization won 110 seats in the Ostrava district in the mine workers council elections. As of the early 1930 the mining section had some 10,000 members in the Ostrava district. With the emergence of the Second Czechoslovak Republic, the organization formed a coalition with the "Republikánské ústředí zaměstnanců" ('Republican Employees' Centre') and three smaller unions. By November 1938 these organizations merged, to form a new trade union body ("Ústředna národní jednoty zaměstnanecké", 'National Centre for Employee Unity') aligned with the Party of National Unity. Arlekino i drugiye Arlekino i drugiye (; ) is the second studio album by Russian Soviet singer Alla Pugacheva released in 1979 by Melodiya. After release of her debut album, Pugacheva's popularity gave her a chance to enter a solo career without participating in musical ensembles. In January 1979 the premiere of the singer's concert program "The Woman who Sings" took place at the Moscow variety theater. Before that, Pugacheva's concerts did not have a specific name, and the posters said "Alla Pugacheva Sings". In addition to Moscow in 1979, Pugacheva presented a new concert program in Chelyabinsk, Volgograd, Stavropol, Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk, Sochi, Donetsk, Kharkov, Kiev, Moscow region cities, Leningrad, Simferopol, Yalta, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, and Kostroma. During 1979 Pugacheva visited the GDR three times, where she performed in national concerts and popular TV programs. On 5 July 1979, in Moscow, she gave a joint concert with Joe Dassin on the occasion of the opening of the Olympic hotel "Cosmos". On 25 August 1979, Pugacheva as a guest of honor performed at the gala concert of the III international festival "Intervision-79" in Sopot (Poland). On 5 March 1979, the film "The Woman who Sings" was released. The film attracted 54.9 million viewers and took the first place in the Soviet film distribution in 1979; Pugacheva was named "Best actress of the year" by the results of a survey by the magazine "Soviet Screen". After its release, the film received a lot of reviews in the Soviet film press – positive and negative, and caused a storm of controversy in society, but not so much around itself as around the singer. Anyway, in the same year, on the wave of increased popularity of the singer, the decision to release a second solo album was made. The album was released by numerous requests of fans of Alla Pugacheva's work and includes songs previously released on minions and flexible records, recorded in 1975–1976 during the singer's work in VIA Vesyolye Rebyata. The album contains songs recorded for the film "The Irony of Fate" (1975), where Pugacheva acted as a voice-over performer (the voice of Barbara Brylska, who played the role of Nadya Sheveleva). The single "Arlekino" was released on 21 July 1975. This song became a turning point in the creative fate of the singer. Alla Pugacheva won the song contest "Golden Orpheus" in Bulgaria in 1975. The victory in the contest (which was shown by the Soviet Central television) brought Pugacheva not only wide all-Union fame, but also the first international success. In Bulgaria a single was released with a recording of a concert performance of the song, and later in the GDR, a recording of the song "Harlekino" was released in German. The solo career of Alla Pugacheva began with "Arlekino": before that, she worked as a vocalist of various musical groups. In 1976, a music video for the song for the musical feature film "Ensemble of losers" was shot at the "Arbatskaya" metro station. In 1976 Pugacheva became the first winner of the Pesnya goda festival. In the final concert she performed the song "Ochen khorosho". At the same time, in 1976, Pugacheva first took part in the new year's TV program "Little Blue Light", and not only as a performer, but also as a co-host of the program. The Youth Cafe The Youth Café is a not-for profit pan-African youth organization that was founded in 2012 and works with young men and women in Africa and around the world to, to foster community resilience, propose innovative solution, drive social progress, enable youth empowerment and inspire political change. The Youth Café is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. The Youth Café's work is based on its current strategy, its Youth Manifesto (they facilitated its creation in Kenya during the 2017 general elections and required that the next president needed a youth manifesto) and the African Union Youth Charter (a political and legal document which serves as the strategic framework that gives direction for youth empowerment and development at continental, regional and national levels) These guiding documents looks at today's youth bulge as an opportunity for development and economic growth. This drives their work for implementing multidisciplinary and multi-perspective projects including Peace and Security, Preventing Violent Extremism; Governance and Political Inclusion(Remittances and Accountability); Culture, Arts, and Sports; Education and Skills; Business, Job Creation and Entrepreneurship; Universal Health Coverage; Environmental Preservation and Climate Change. Their projects have reached many youths. In addition to their stand-alone programs, they maintain long-standing collaborations with partners worldwide. Their work is regularly cited by media and government bodies, and used by firms, investors, philanthropic leaders and policymakers such as Participedia, Apolitcal, Global Innovation Exchange, Ethelo, Global Donor Platform For Rural Development and UNODC. They also produce Youth Cafe, a youth TV program on KTN that host debates on matters and issues pertaining youths. The Youth Cafe was launched in 2012 by a group of motivated young people who were selected to give input to the United Nations High Level Panel of Eminent Persons on Post 2015 Agenda. Together they devised the model that The Youth Cafe utilizes today. This partnership is a unique, pioneering collaboration in the field of international development. Bolstered by grassroots knowledge, the organization is to dedicated to bringing hope to young people. 75% of the African population is below the age of 35. For Africa to develop, focus, recognition and support must be on youths. Youths can be a positive force for development and their potential can be utilized and developed by quality education and skills improvement; employment opportunities; empowerment and entrepreneurship; good governance; health and well-being. Without strategic investments in the areas above, then the demographic dividend of Africa will not be achieved. All these rights are guaranteed in the Kenyan Constitution in the Bill of Rights. Article 55 of the Kenyan Constitution is the “youth section”, which focuses on access to relevant education and training, politics in relations to youths, employment and protection. Article 43 of the Kenyan Constitution provides for among others, the right to healthcare (including reproductive health), sanitation and education. Additionally, the National Youth Policy, East African Community youth policy, the African Youth Charter and international provisions under the United Nations, guarantees the rights of youths. More often than not, youths do not enjoy these rights. This among others was the gap The Youth Café was initiated to fill. The Youth Café's Vision is “Towards an equitable and fair society in which young people enjoy full social, economic and political rights” The Youth Cafe aims to amplify, connect, and empower the voices of the young in critical issue of the current times. The Board main role is supporting the senior leadership team at the secretariat to ensure The Youth Café is both sustainable and growing. Their roles include: challenging The Youth Café's activities vis-à-vis legal and regulatory requirements, ambassadorial and providing strategic guidance. However, the secretariat (young professionals) solely makes the executive decisions. The Board comprises a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 non-executive directors in addition to three executive directors: The Executive Director, Finance Director and Secretariat Coordinator. After three years they all seek re-appointment. It is compulsory for the Head of Operations and Finance and the Head of Partnerships to turn up at every meeting, while, section leads are invited to put forward their section's accomplishments, challenges and future development on a rotational basis. They meet annually in February, May and November with a half day strategy session yearly. To represent the youth, at least three board members are under the age of 35. Made up of youths (young professionals) between 18 and 35 years. They include operational secretariat consisting of staff, consultants, part-time contractors, interns, and volunteers. They are the cardinal decision-making body that makes all project decisions and executive programs at The Youth Cafe, as per the motto “for youth by youth”. The Executive Director, the Head of Partnerships and the Head of Operations & Finance are the senior most and reporting to them, are the coordinator and Technical Coordinator, Main secretariat and Section Leads. From their headquarters in Nairobi, projects are executed across Africa. The Youth Café's Group of Friends, is a community of international organizations that actively promotes the objectives and work of The Youth Cafe at the local, regional and global levels. Their input, advice and support are taken into account in all key aspects in a dialogue-based and consensus building approach. Currently they include individuals, 120 United Nations Member agencies, and international organizations representing all cultures, continents and societies. They meet two to four times a year (at virtual and on-site regular meetings) to deliberate about The Youth Cafe's activities and provide inputs. They Group of Friends include: AISEC, the Hewlett Foundation, SOS Villages, Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Global Friends in Action and others. The Youth's Café deals with cross-cutting issues, but majors on eight priority areas with a multidisciplinary and multi-perspective approach. The pillars directs and focuses the development and implementation of their programs and initiatives. They play an integral role in socio-economic and political empowerment of youths in Africa as well as reducing youth deprivation. The pillars are: Violence by extremist groups (Al-Shabab, Boko Haram and others have sparked of a humanitarian situation among others Lake Chad Basin. Consequently, over 2.5 million people have been displaced causing economic dis-empowerment and inability to access basic services. For stability, development and humanitarian actors, as well as the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has stepped in to help and the EU has invested over EUR 700 million. In spite of all this, there is minimal progress due to lack of coordination on the ground, and a dearth of information about the stabilization strategies. UNSCR 2250 recognizes the role of young people towards stability, as well as the Stabilization Strategy (adopted in August 2018 by the Lake Chad Basin Commission Member States and endorsed by the AU Peace & Security Council in December, 2018) which focuses on bridging the gap between political will, financing and reality of progress on the ground. One of The Youth Café's strategic objective is, ensuring “a transparent, democratic and accountable environment” which in turn leads to, “political stability, effective governance and reduced fragility”. The AU has developed the African Governance Architecture. Though, internationally, the International Aid Transparency Initiative and locally social auditing and budget reviews already exist; further collaborations among stakeholders can be increased. Since youths are underrepresented in governance, The Youth Cafe has invested in skills development useful in governance-enabling activities and increasing accountability. CAS can tackle major universal challenges – such as social integration, conflict prevention and resolution, protection of cultural heritage and prevention of violent extremism. With an estimated growth rate of 7% global GDP, culture and creative arts industry if well harnessed, can contribute to economic growth, socio-economic stability and sustainable development. The 2007 Africa Strategy (JAES), proposes a stronger cultural cooperation and EUR 40 million was allocated under the European Development Fund towards that. Visible initiatives like creating networks, financing and training on the necessary skills will improve the careers of CAS professionals. To prepare youths for the future, they need skills and competencies in addition to accessing quality education. The Youth Café plans to provide high quality education and training systems, that are efficient and that facilitate young people's access and integration. In line with UNESCO 2030 goals, and international commitments, support must be given to relevant stakeholders who provides quality education that equip youths with skills and competencies, to take on future challenges and opportunities in the world. Multi-stakeholder collaborations such as VET, Global Education and STEM are vital in imparting “21st century skills” and creating innovative learning environments. Research has shown that these collaborations, improve international competitiveness, innovation and productivity. Studies have shown that the demographic dividend is an education-triggered dividend and as such investments must be directed towards education as well as policy change. Three million jobs are currently created a year in Sub-Saharan Africa, however, 18 million jobs a year will need to be created by 2035. Youths must be uniquely positioned and empowered to stimulate innovation, creativity and create social capital in key sectors such as agribusiness and renewable energy in order to shape a shared future and economy. Of concern are the gaps in support services for young entrepreneurs, and limited and/or no knowledge of and access to current flagship initiatives. Currently, the worldwide adolescents’ population is 1.2 billion (10–19 years old), and this number will rise through 2050. Nearly, 90% live in low- and middle-income countries with limited knowledge, information and access to quality health services and are thus unable to deal with their health issues that are both preventable and treatable. Health service providers do not have tailored services nor offer specific health needs to adolescents with factors such as: religion, age, ethnicity, sex, disability, gender identity, wealth, marital status, location sexual orientation and, migratory status and other characteristics aggravating the situation. Due to this, adolescents have not benefited from the halved mortality rate (during the Millennium Development Goal period) by younger children with more than 1.2 million adolescent deaths yearly. Remittances in Africa helps reduce poverty and generate domestic resources and is thus a key area to The Youth Cafe. aims to reduce the transaction costs of migrant remittances to under 3% and eliminate corridors with costs above 5%. Currently, costs stagnate around 7% affecting young people who mostly are 'undocumented', 'unbanked', and poor. This is despite the fact that youths are at the forefront in the use of new technologies like mobile money. The EU in 2014 supported the AU in the establishment of the African Institute for Remittances (AIR), which deals in promoting reforms in legal and regulatory frameworks. Additionally, they provide statistical data (SendMoneyAfrica comparison database). More information and transparency about remittance fees and user-friendly applications is needed. The main causes of climate change in Africa is land / water management and soil deterioration. The Great Green Wall initiative, was launched in 2007 as the AU's flagship initiative to decelerate Sahara Desert expansion, deal with land degeneration, improve food security, and promote transformational adaptability of communities to adjust to climate change. An articulate mapping can help further advance the GGW. Increased support for agroforestry can: offer incentives for youth to live in rural areas and partake in activities fostering the viable use of natural resources; alleviate the effect of climate change and also provide livelihood opportunities for youth in the region.

Buried (performance art) Buried is a conceptual and performative work of critical, social and political content by artist Abel Azcona. The performance artwork was created in 2015 through a public and participatory performance, or happening, on the esplanade of Franco's Monument to the Fallen in Pamplona. Azcona invited dozens of relatives of Republicans who were shot, persecuted or disappeared during the Spanish Civil War. Descendants of victims make up the installation in a row in front of the monument, all symbolically buried with soil from the garden of one of the participants, where his relatives had been shot. In 2016 the city of Pamplona invited Azcona to show his work inside the Monument and the project was recreated inside the Monument, which had been converted into an exhibition hall, under the name of "Unearthed: A retrospective view on the political and subversive work of the artist Abel Azcona." The exhibition brought together the "Buried" project and fragments of all of Azcona's works. In 2016, Azcona coordinated a new performative action, or happening, with relatives of those who were shot in the "Pozos de Caudé". Under the name of "Desafectos", Azcona formed a wall with the relatives as a complaint, next to the wells outside the city of Teruel, where more than a thousand people had been shot and thrown into the wells over the course of three days during the Civil War.

Pednor House Pednor House (formerly known as Little Pednor) is a house near Chartridge parish of Buckinghamshire. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since November 1983. The original 17th century timber framed house was enlarged in 1910 under the architects James Edwin Forbes and John Duncan Tate (as Forbes and Tate) in the Arts and Crafts style. Originally a farmhouse, the barns and outbuildings were converted into a single large residence. Forbes and Tate specialised in converting old buildings into houses, the Buckinghamshire edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides describes Pednor House as their "most extensive and successful conversion" that created a "picturesque Tudor courtyard house" Forbes and Tate commissioned Gertrude Jekyll for a garden planting plan around the sundial at Pednor House. In his 2000 book "The Gardens of Gertrude Jekyll", Richard Bisgrove described Jekyll's detailed plan for Pednor House as creating planting in "carefully disposed in repeated and irregular groups to provide a low mosaic of flowers and foliage throughout the year". A cylindrical brick dovecote is situated by the front gate. Pednor House was photographed by Edwin Smith in 1930. Smith's photographs of Pednor House are in the collection of the British Architectural Library. The house was owned by the British Army officer and former Governor of the Bahamas Daniel Knox, 6th Earl of Ranfurly, for several years and was put up for sale by him in 1963 through Knight, Frank and Rutley.

Darling (Robert Hazard album) Darling is the second album by American musician Robert Hazard, released in November 1986 on his own label RHA Records, after being dropped by RCA in 1984. "Hip Pocket" was recorded in California with Rod Stewart's band. Musicians Technical Olamkicept Olamkicept, also known as soluble gp130Fc or sgp130Fc (other designations are FE 999301, FE301, TJ301) is an immunosuppressive drug candidate, which selectively blocks activities of the cytokine Interleukin-6, which are mediated by the soluble Interleukin-6. Interleukin-6 is a cytokine, which plays a dominant role in the regulation of the immune response and also in autoimmunity. Furthermore, Interleukin-6 has been demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of metabolism and body. Interleukin-6 also has many activities on neural. It was invented by the German biochemist Stefan Rose-John and it was further developed by the biotech company Conaris, which gave an exclusive world-wide license to the Swiss-based biopharmaceutical company. In December 2016, Ferring and the biotech company I-MAB signed a licensing agreement granting I-MAB exclusive rights in Asia to Olamkicept for the treatment of autoimmune disease. On cells, Interleukin-6 binds to an Interleukin-6 receptor, which, however, is not signaling. The complex of Interleukin-6 and the Interleukin-6 receptor binds to a second receptor protein, gp130, which thereupon dimerizes and initiates intracellular. The gp130 receptor is present on all cells of the human body, whereas the Interleukin-6 receptor is only expressed by some cells such as hepatocytes and some leukocytes. Since Interleukin-6 exhibits only measurable affinity to the Interleukin-6 receptor but not to gp130, only cells which express the Interleukin-6 receptor can respond to Interleukin-6. It was found that the Interleukin-6 receptor can be cleaved from the cell membrane by the protease ADAM17 generating a soluble receptor. Interestingly, the soluble Interleukin-6 receptor can still bind Interleukin-6 and the complex of Interleukin-6 and Interleukin-6 receptor can bind to gp130 even on cells, which do not express the membrane-bound Interleukin-6 receptor. This mode of signaling has named Interleukin-6 trans-signaling. The protein Olamkicept consists of the extracellular portion of gp130 fused (and thereby dimerized) to the constant portion of a human IgG1 antibody. Like membrane bound gp130, the protein Olamkicept does not bind Interleukin-6 alone but only the complex of Interleukin-6 and soluble Interleukin-6 receptor. Therefore, Olamkicept only inhibits Interleukin-6 trans-signaling but not Interleukin-6 signaling via the membrane-bound Interleukin-6 receptor. It has been shown that Interleukin-6 activities via the membrane-bound Interleukin-6 receptor are regenerative and protect from bacterial infections whereas Interleukin-6 activities via the soluble Interleukin-6 receptor are considered pro-inflammatory. Therefore, Olamkicept only blocks the pro-inflammatory activities of the cytokine Interleukin-6. In many animal disease models of human pathologies it was tested whether the specific blockade of Interleukin-6 trans-signaling by the Olamkicept protein was superior to a global blockade with an Interleukin-6 or an Interleukin-6 receptor neutralizing antibody. It turned out that the specific blockade of Interleukin-6 trans-signaling was superior to global Interleukin-6 blockade in models of e.g. sepsis, of acute lung injury after severe acute pancreatitis and of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Furthermore, it was shown that Interleukin-6 trans-signaling plays a dominant role in colon cancer and lung cancer. The Olamkicept protein underwent phase I clinical studies in 2013/14 and is currently in phase II clinical trials in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease in Germany. and in China, Taiwan, South Korea and Australia.

Viktor Obukhov Viktor Timofeyevich Obukhov (; – 26 November 1975) was a Soviet Army colonel general and a Hero of the Soviet Union. The son of an Orenburg Cossack, Obukhov fought on the Eastern Front of the Russian Civil War and commanded cavalry against the Basmachi Revolt until the late 1920s. He held staff positions during the late 1930s after a stint as an advisor in China and commanded a tank division in Belarus at the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa. His division suffered heavy losses, but Obukhov broke out of encirclement with the remnants and reached Soviet lines. He spent more than a year as a cavalry inspector and from May 1943 commanded the 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps, which he led for the rest of the war. Made a Hero of the Soviet Union for his leadership of the corps during Operation Bagration, Obukhov continued in command of the corps after the end of the war. Postwar, he held army command and ended his career as deputy chief of the Soviet tank troops, retiring in the mid-1960s. Obukhov was born on 3 April 1898 in the "stanitsa" of Nikolskaya, Orenburgsky Uyezd, Orenburg Governorate. The son of a Cossack, he graduated from the village school in 1914. During the Russian Civil War, Obukhov joined a Red Guard detachment in Orenburg in January 1918. In May he left the detachment to join the 1st Orenburg Soviet Laboring Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Red Army, serving as a Red Army man, platoon leader, and assistant commander of a "sotnia". The regiment fought in battles against the Siberian Army and the White Cossacks of Alexander Dutov. From February to May 1919 he was detached to take the Military-Political Course of the 1st Army in Orenburg and Syzran, then became an instructor in the political department of the 1st Army and assistant military commissar of the Southern Group of Forces of the Ural Front. From July 1919 he studied at the 1st Moscow Soviet Cavalry Courses, then stayed on as a course commander and assistant squadron commander. Conducting party work at the 1st All-Russian Congress of Labouring Cossacks in late 1919, Obukhov was elected a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Cossack Section there. He was appointed commandant of the "Krasny Kazak" (Red Cossack) propaganda train on the Southern Front in March 1920, and in September was sent to command the 1st Turkestan Cavalry Regiment on the Turkestan Front. With the latter, he fought in the against the Emirate of Bukhara and the Basmachi movement. From March 1922, Obukhov served as an acting squadron commander in the 13th Cavalry Regiment. After the end of the war, Obukhov was hospitalized in Petrograd from October 1922, after which he studied at the Red Army Higher Cavalry School in that city. After graduating in September 1924, he was again sent to the Turkestan Front, where he commanded the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Separate Cavalry Brigade. From January 1925 he served as commander and commissar of the 79th Cavalry Regiment of the 7th Separate Cavalry Brigade of the Central Asian Military District, and in December 1926 became commander and commissar of the Uzbek Cavalry Regiment in Samarkand. During this period he fought against the Basmachi in Eastern Bukhara from October 1924 to December 1926 and in Khiva from 1927 to November 1928. Obukhov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the Uzbek SSR on 22 February 1928. Sent to study at the Cavalry Officers Improvement Course (KUKS) in Novocherkassk in November of that year, Obukhov became commander and commissar of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the 2nd Cavalry Division in the Ukrainian Military District after graduation in July 1929. He studied at the Frunze Military Academy from April 1931, graduating in April 1934, after which he was placed at the disposal of the Red Army Intelligence Directorate. Promoted to colonel on 16 December 1935, Obukhov served in China as a military advisor to the commander of the Xinjiang Military Region of the National Revolutionary Army between 1935 and 1937. After returning to the Soviet Union, Obukhov served with the Red Army Cavalry Inspectorate from September 1937 as an assistant and later senior assistant inspector. From May 1939 he was a staff officer in the operational department of the 1st Army Group, and from July inspector of the cavalry of the Far East front group. In the latter position he participated in the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. Promoted to "kombrig" on 4 November 1939, Obukhov became chief of the Borisov Cavalry School in December 1939, which was later converted into a tank school. When the Red Army reintroduced general's ranks, he was made a major general on 4 June 1940. Obukhov was appointed commander of the 26th Tank Division of the 20th Mechanized Corps of the Western Special Military District on 11 March 1941. On 22 June 1941, when Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began, the division and its corps advanced towards Volkovysk and Belostok. Reaching the area of Mir-Gorodishche and Gorodeya, the division received orders to occupy a defensive line along the 1939 state border in the area of Negoreloe, Stolbtsy, Gorodeya, and Nesvizh, where it took control of disparate retreating units. For four days the division fought in fierce defensive battles with advancing German units on this line, covering the direction of Minsk. Subsequently, the division was forced to retreat to Minsk and beyond the Berezina River, where it consolidated. From 28 June, division units fought in an encirclement west of Minsk in the Naliboki forest for several days. Conducting a fighting retreat over the Dnieper towards Mogilev, the units of the division tied down large German forces, being twice encircled. Near Krichev and Propoysk on the Sozh River the division spent all fuel and ammunition in intense fighting, after which Obukhov decided to destroy the remaining equipment and vehicles and head east. He did not reach Soviet lines until September, with a group of up to 1,000 troops in the area of Bryansk in the 50th Army sector. Following his escape from behind German lines, Obukhov was appointed deputy inspector general of the Red Army cavalry on 11 September.

From June 1944 the corps was part of the cavalry mechanized group of General Nikolay Osilkovsky as part of the 3rd Belorussian Front, with which it fought in the Vitebsk–Orsha Offensive, crossing the Berezina, establishing and holding a bridgehead, and recapturing Senno and Lepel. For his leadership of the corps, Obukhov received the title Hero of the Soviet Union and awarded the Order of Lenin on 4 July 1944. From July the corps was part of the 43rd, 4th Shock, 51st, 61st, 6th Guards, 22nd Armies of the 1st and 2nd Baltic Fronts, fighting in the later stage of Operation Bagration and the Baltic Offensive, in which Obukhov was again severely wounded near Joniškis. During this period it captured Vileyka, Smorgon, Molodechno, Vilnius, Šiauliai, Jelgava, and others, as well as participating in the elimination of the Courland Pocket. In June 1945 the corps was withdrawn to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and fought in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. After the end of the war, Obukhov continued to command the corps, which was reorganized as the 3rd Guards Mechanized Division in November 1945. From May 1946 he served as deputy commander of the 10th Mechanized Army, and from March 1947 was chief of the armored and mechanized forces combat training department as well as assistant commander-in-chief of the Ground Forces for armored and mechanized forces. From August of the latter year Obukhov commanded the 4th Guards Separate Cadre Tank Division of the Group of Soviet Occupation Forces in Germany, which was expanded into the 4th Guards Mechanized Army in March 1950. Sent to the Voroshilov Higher Military Academy in December 1950 for Higher Academic Courses, upon graduation in December 1952 Obukhov was named assistant commander of the Carpathian Military District. From October 1953 he commanded the 3rd Guards Mechanized Army, which was designated the 18th Guards Army in April 1957. Obukhov received a promotion to colonel general on 8 August 1955. In April 1958 he was appointed the deputy chief of the Armored Forces of the Soviet Armed Forces, a position that became deputy chief of tank troops in January 1961. Obukhov retired in September 1965 and lived in Moscow. He wrote a volume of memoirs about his experiences during the Russian Civil War, "Radi nashego shchastya" (For the Sake of Our Happiness), published by DOSAAF in 1972. Obukhov died on 26 November 1975. He was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery. Bucke Bucke is a surname.

Qatar–Saudi Arabia border The Qatar–Saudi Arabia border is 87 km (54 m) in length and runs from the Gulf of Bahrain coast in the west to the Persian Gulf coast in the east. The border begins in the west at the Gulf of Salwah, proceeding overland via 4-5 straight lines (maps differ on the precise depiction) which forms a broad arc, terminating in the east at the Khawr al Udayd coast. Prior to the signing of the 1974 Treaty of Jeddah between Saudi Arabia and the UAE there was some confusion as to whether Qatar shared a border with the UAE, with maps commonly depicting a long Emirati panhandle touching Qatar. This Treaty gave Saudi Arabia access to the Khawr al Udayd, thereby removing any the possibility of Qatar sharing a border with the UAE. Historically there was no clearly defined boundary in this part of the Arabian peninsula. From 1868 Britain exercised control over Qatar as a de facto protectorate, formalised as such in 1916. The interior of Arabia consisted of loosely organised Arab groupings, occasionally forming emirates, most prominent of which was the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa ruled by the al-Saud family. Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913-14. During the First World War an Arab Revolt, supported by Britain, succeeded in removing the Ottomans from much of the Middle East; in the period following this Ibn Saud managed to expand his kingdom considerably, eventually proclaiming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. Ibn Saud refused to recognise the Anglo-Ottoman lines and lay claim to large parts of the eastern Arabian hinterland (the so-called ‘Hamza line’). On 25 November 1935 British officials met with Ibn Saud in an attempt to finalise a frontier between the new kingdom and their coastal protectorates, including Qatar. The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. According to a British document written in 1936, the prime cause of friction in the territorial dispute revolved around where Qatar's south-west borders should end. The rulers of both Qatar and Saudi Arabia claimed that their control of the Dohat Salwa area had historical precedent, however, Ibn Saud claimed that the Sheikh of Qatar had previously ceded to him this territory, to which the Sheikh vehemently denied. The letter stated: The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. In 1955, following the an attempt by Saudi Arabia to assert its control over the Buraimi Oasis on the Oman-Trucial States border, Britain stated that it would unilaterally use a slightly modified version of the 1935 'Riyadh line' henceforth. A border treaty between Qatar and Saudi Arabia was made in 1965, though the precise terms of its implementation was a long-standing point of contention between the two. In September 1992, tensions arose between the two when Saudi forces allegedly attacked a Qatari border post, resulting in the death of two Qatari soldiers and the imprisonment of a third. A border agreement was reached between the two parties in 1999 and the final treaty was signed in 2001. Following a severe deterioration in Saudi-Qatar relations in 2017 the border was shut. In June 2018 Saudi Arabia announced that it is planning on constructing a 61 km-long Salwa Canal running along the Saudi side of the Salwa Border Crossing at a cost of $745 million. The canal is set to physically separate Qatar from its only land border and effectually render it an island. Media outlets in Saudi Arabia hinted at the possibility of the Saudi government dedicating portions of the canal towards a military installation and a dump site for nuclear waste. Bolton power stations The two Bolton power stations supplied electric power to the town of Bolton and the wider area between 1894 and 1979. The first power station was located in Bolton town centre but by 1910 was too small to meet the growing demand for electricity. A large coal-fired power station was commissioned in 1914 situated at Back o’ th’ Bank about 1 mile north of the town centre. The electricity generating station was redeveloped several times until it was closed in 1979 and was subsequently demolished and the site redeveloped. The "Corporation of Bolton" obtained legal powers under the "Bolton Electric Lighting Order" (confirmed by the "Electric Lighting Orders Confirmation (No.1) Act 1891") to generate and supply electricity throughout the town. Bolton was first supplied with electricity on 31st October 1894 from an electricity works commissioned by the Bolton Corporation. The power station (53°34’40”N 2°26’20”W) was located on Spa Road immediately east of the Spa Fields gas works and extended south to Gas Street. The station supplied current for lighting and power to industrial, commercial and domestic premises in the town, including the electric tram system which opened in 1900. The municipal ownership of gas, water, electricity, markets and tramways in Bolton generated a relief of 11d. in £1 (£1=240d.) on the rates or local taxes. However, in 1901 it was suggested that Bolton Corporation were making large profits by charging high prices. In 1901 it cost 0.96d. to produce 1 kWh of electricity in Bolton but consumers were charged 3.41 d./kWh, making a profit of 2.45d./kWh. This was compared, unfavourably, to Norwich where the electric company (not a municipal authority) produced electricity for 2.4d./kWh and sold for 3.9d./kWh a profit of 1.5d./kWh. Despite these claims the use of electricity increased. Electrical power was supplied to the town's textile mills, which had previously used individually generated steam power to drive their machinery. Falcon Mill in Bolton was built between 1904–8 and was the first cotton mill in Lancashire to be powered by electricity. In 1899 the Bolton Corporation Electric Fittings Department sacked two workers for refusing to work overtime at the basic rate. The Electrical Trades Union escalated the dispute and within a week the Department had reinstated the workers. More widely this resulted in new employment conditions: normal weekly hours were reduced from 52 to 50 at 9d. per hour with defined rates for overtime. By the late-1900s the power station at Spa Road was increasingly unable to meet the growing demand for electricity. In 1912 the Electricity Committee of the Bolton Corporation proposed the construction of a new larger power station at Back o’ th’ Bank (53°35'34.9"N 2°25'27.6"W), about 1 mile (1.5 km) north of the town centre. The selected site was west of the River Tonge and east of the Astley Bridge branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway, and directly across the river from the Denvale cotton mills. The advantages of the site were that the river provided water for condensing steam at the plant and the railway enabled coal fuel to be delivered directly to the station. The local government board sanctioned the development in 1913. Building work on the new station started in February 1914 and the first 4,000 kW turbo-alternator was commissioned on the 3 September 1914. Further plant, including a second 4,000 kW machine, was installed in 1917–18. After the First World War the plant at original generating station at Spa Road was decommissioned, but the site was retained as a transformer substation, for converting AC to DC, and for the distribution of electricity. The frontage of the former generating station in Spa Road is extant (2020). To cater for increased demand, new buildings were constructed at Back o' th' Bank for additional plant. Between 1921 and 1923 further steam raising plant was installed consisting of eighteen boilers each capable of supplying 34,000 lb/hr (4.3 kg/s) of steam at a pressure of 225 psi (15.5 bar). The total capacity of steam raising plant was 408,000 lb/hr (51.4 kg/s). In 1923 the generating machinery comprised 2 × 4,000 kW, 1 × 6,000 kW, 1 × 8,000 kW and 1 × 12,000 kW turbo-alternators. This gave a total generating capacity of 34,000 kW. The No. 6 machine was an English Electric Company 12.5 MW set which was commissioned in October 1923; it was supplied with steam at 200 psi and 528°F (13.79 bar and 276°C). This machine remained in operation until 1979, and was moved to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester as a museum display piece. The Back o’ th’ Bank power station generated electricity at 6,400 Volts, 3-phase, 50 Hz; this was transferred to the town through 28 underground cables. Electricity supplies to users were: The rapid growth in the supply and demand of electricity over the period 1921–23 is illustrated in the table. Of the 38.280 GWh sold in 1923, this was supplied to the following users. The condensing of steam in the station was by river water, abstracted from, and returned to the River Tonge. Initially the water was cooled in 4 spray ponds north of the station, each had a capacity of 0.75 million gallons per hour (0.95 m3/s). In about 1950 a hyperbolic reinforced concrete cooling tower was built with a capacity of 2.5 million gallons per hour (3.15 m3/s). This was located on the east side of the River Tonge north of the Denvale Mills. However, there were complaints that operation of the cooling tower let to problems with ice in cold weather. The Back o’ th’ Bank power station had two chimneys on the north side and later an additional single chimney to the south of the station. By the mid-1920s the Lancashire Power Company and the Corporations of Manchester, Salford, Bolton and Rochdale had interconnected their electricity systems to share the production and supply of electricity. The combined output capacity of the system was 650 GWh. In 1927 the Central Electricity Board (CEB) assumed responsibility across the country for directing the operation of ‘selected’ power stations and paying for their operation. Back o' th' Bank became a selected station. Bolton Corporation had the right to buy the electricity they required from the Board. The CEB built the first stages of the National Grid between 1927–33. Back o’ th’ Bank power station was connected to an electricity grid ring which included Padiham, Rawtenstall and Kearsley power stations, this was one of three electricity rings in the North West.The others were: Preston, Southport, Liverpool, Warrington and Wigan; and Manchester, Oldham, Tame Valley and Stockport. Further turbo-alternators were installed at Back o’ th’ Bank during the late 1940s, whilst some of the older equipment was decommissioned because of its age and deteriorating condition. The steam plant in the low pressure station was decommissioned in 1952. Upon nationalisation of the British electricity supply industry in 1948 the ownership of Back o’ th’ Bank power station was vested in the British Electricity Authority, and subsequently the Central Electricity Authority and the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB). At the same time the electricity distribution and sales responsibilities of the Bolton electricity undertaking were transferred to the North Western Electricity Board (NORWEB). The operational electricity generating capacity by the late 1950s was 89 MW. The amount of electricity sent out (in GWh) was as follows. Electricity sent out from Back o' th' Bank, 1954–72 (GWh){ } By 1971 the plant at Back o’ th’ Bank comprised three 31.25 MW turbo-alternators, the maximum output capacity was 75 MW and in the year ending 31 March 1972 the electricity supplied from the station was 46.136 GWh. Back o’ th’ Bank power station was closed by the CEGB and ceased to generate electricity on 19 March 1979. The station was subsequently demolished, the area was redeveloped with office, warehouse, industrial and leisure facilities. Evija Šulce Evija Šulce (born 2 September 1970) is a Latvian luger. She competed at the 1992 Winter Olympics and the 1994 Winter Olympics. Her brother is Aivis Švāns. Nohl Nohl is a German surname. Notable people with this surname include: Bredl Bredl is a German surname. Notable people with this surname include: Richard Michael Levey Richard Michael Levey (actual surname: O'Shaughnessy; mostly known as R. M. Levey) (25 October 1811 – 28 June 1899) was an Irish violinist, conductor, composer, and teacher. He was one of a handful of noted musicians who kept Dublin's concert life in the nineteenth century alive under difficult economic circumstances. Levey was born in County Meath, the actual place name is not established. Levey's original surname was O'Shaughnessy, but according to one of his most prominent pupils, the composer Charles Villiers Stanford, he changed it "for what he considered to be a more musical one". Levey was his mother's maiden name. The name was officially adopted, and all of his children and the following generations were called Levey (according to several sources, Levey had 20 children from three wives). He received tuition on the violin in Dublin by James Barton (c.1785–c.1850) and became a member of the orchestra of the Theatre Royal, Dublin in 1826, aged 15, succeeding Barton as concert master there in 1834. From 1834 until the destruction of the edifice by fire in 1880 he was also the musical director of the Theatre Royal, a role that involved conducting the orchestra, composing more than 100 overtures to plays, and directing operatic performances including vocal soloists, a chorus and the orchestra. He was also leader of the orchestras of the Antient Concerts Society and the Philharmonic Society as well as secretary of the Dublin Madrigal Society and the Irish Musical Fund. According to Beausang (2013), "he was omnipresent for over 50 years at public concerts in Dublin by local and visiting musicians". On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his association with the Theatre Royal, he was presented on stage with a "testimonial" from the Duke of Leinster and the Earl of Charlemont and a benefit performance. Still a young man, Levey played in the orchestra during Angelica Catalani's tour of Ireland in 1829 and the visit to Dublin of Michael William Balfe's opera company in 1839. Levey also conducted the Irish premiere of Balfe's "The Maid of Artois" In 1840. Balfe, who had also studied with James Barton, remained a life-long friend of Levey's. In addition, Levey was a prominent violin teacher in Dublin. In 1848, he was a co-founder of the Royal Irish Academy of Music and was its professor of violin from its foundation until 1897. In 1852, he formed a class for advanced students there modelled on the methods of the Conservatoire in Paris and the Academy of Music in Leipzig. His most prominent pupils were Robert Prescott Stewart and Charles V. Stanford. Levey was also a keen expert on Irish traditional music. He presented public lectures, played the violin in lectures by others, and published a collection of more than 100 dance tunes in 1858. Following reprints in 1965 and 2003, this is still in use today. Among Levey's children was the birth of triplets in April 1837, two of whom became prominent musicians: the violin virtuoso Richard Michael Levey junior (1837–1911) who stylised himself as a "Paganini Redivivus" (the reborn Paganini) and the operatic composer and conductor William Charles Levey (1837–1894). His great-grandson, Michael Levey (1927–2008), was director the National Gallery, London, from 1973 to 1986, and author of "The Life and Death of Mozart" (1971). Levey lived to see the opening the new Theatre Royal in December 1897 and died in Dalkey, County Dublin in 1899, aged 87. He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery. Along with John William Glover, Joseph Robinson and his brothers, John Stanford (the father of C. V. Stanford), and Robert Prescott Stewart, Levey was part of a group of committed individuals who kept Dublin musical life going during economically difficult times. A contemporary source described Levey as "an accomplished instrumentalist, a skilful composer, a firm but considerate director, an agreeable companion and a respected citizen". C. V. Stanford characterised him as "a great character, with a face which might have been the model for the typical Irishman of the comic papers. He was a rough player but an admirable leader of an orchestra". Although his incidental music for orchestra does not seem to have survived, Levey's published music for piano, voice and ensembles is characterised by an assured technique and a light and humorous style. Most of Levey's extant compositions are quadrilles on topical and entertaining subjects of the day. They were published in piano arrangements for home use, but were in most cases publicly performed in band arrangements; some appear to derive from his music to comedies and plays at the Theatre Royal. Together with John O'Rorke, Levey authored "Annals of the Theatre Royal, Dublin" (Dublin, 1880), which is an important source on the history of 19th-century Irish music and drama, written mostly in calendarial form. Because not all dates can be established, works below are listed in alphabetical order ("n.d." = not dated).

El Molle culture El Molle culture was a South American archaeological culture from in the Transverse Valleys of Norte Chico known chiefly for its ceramics. The culture existed from 300 to 700 CE and was later replaced in Chile by Las Ánimas culture that developed between 800 and 1000 CE. This last culture gave inte way to the historical Diaguita culture encountered by the Spanish in the 16th century. In 1954 Grete Mostny postulated the idea of a link between Mapuches of south-central Chile and the El Molle culture. The Mapuche Pitrén ceramics slighly postdate the ceramics of El Molle with which it shares various commalities. Various archaeologists are of the idea that El Molle culture is related to cultures of the Argentine Northwest, chiefly Candelaria, which are in turn suggested to be related to more northern "tropical jungle" cultures. Tembetás, lower lip piercings usually associated with indigenous cultures of Brazil, findings have been reported in Central Chile with some scholars differing if these elements the result of migrations or ancient contacts with the Argentine Northwest.

Caridad Asensio Caridad G. Asensio (1931– October 31, 2011) was a Cuban-American migrant worker advocate. Asensio was born in Cuba alongside two sisters. She was raised and married in Cuba until Fidel Castro took power, which is when she emigrated to New York and then Boca Raton, Florida with her family. After Asensio and her family moved to Florida in 1960, she worked at Hagen Road Elementary School as a social worker and health educator. While there, she met her future co-founder Connie Berry who was a teacher at the school. Asensio soon began volunteering at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Mission in Delray Beach and eventually founded the Migrant Association in a trailer to provide low-cost housing to migrant workers. Two years later, Asensio and Berry co-founded the Caridad Health Clinic which operated with the assistance of volunteer doctors and dentists. The Clinic was the first in South Florida to provide free health care to farm workers and their families. By 1992, the Migrant Association moved 79 families into stable livable trailers. As a result of its early success, the association moved to a $2.5 million clinic dubbed the Caridad Center within its first five years of operation. In 1995, Asensio was awarded the JCPenney Golden Rule Award for her migrant worker advocacy and the Palm Beach County Literacy Coalition President's Award.

Józef Pius Dziekoński Józef Pius Dziekoński (born 5 May 1844, Płock – died 4 February 1924, Warsaw) was a Polish architect and heritage conservator, a representative of the 19th-century historicism. He became the first dean at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology and co-founded the Society for the Protection of Historical Monuments (TOnZP). He was born on 5 May in Płock, in the Russian-partitioned part of Poland. After graduating from high school in Warsaw in 1860, he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts. In 1866, he began his studies at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Sankt Petersburg. In 1871, he obtained the architecture degree (III Class) and in 1902, he received the title of an academician. He mostly specialized in sacral architecture and was a precursor of the so-called Vistula-Baltic style. Since 1893, he collaborated with the Committee on Research into History of Art in Poland ("Komisja do Badań Historii Sztuki w Polsce"). In 1906, he was one of the co-founders of the Society for the Protection of Historical Monuments ("Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zabytkami Przeszłości"). Among his notable pupils were architects such as Franciszek Lilpop, Hugo Kruder, Czesław Domaniewski, Józef Holewiński, Zdzisław Mączeński, Feliks Michalski, Aleksander Nieniewski, and Ludwik Panczakiewicz. He was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta on 2 May 1922 as well as the Italian Order of St. Gregory the Great. In 1919, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Lviv. He died on 4 February in Warsaw and was buried at the Powązki Cemetery.

Montserrat (album) Montserrat is the seventh solo album by English singer-songwriter John Otway. Released in 2017, Otway was backed by "The Big Band", who he had toured with several times prior. The idea for the album came when a fan invited Otway to Montserrat. Otway later said that it was around the same time that he had learned about the founding of AIR Studios Montserrat in the late 1970s. This led to a Kickstarter being set up, where Otway informed fans that £10,000 would enable the album "to be recorded in my guitarist's garage in Essex!" If the fund reached £30,000 they could both record in Montserrat and enlist Grammy Award-winner Chris Birkett to produce. Nearly £40,000 had been raised by the time the campaign ended. It was later revealed that recording would take place in Olveston House.

Abdul Majed Abdul Majed (died 12 April 2020) was an Bangladeshi military officer who was convicted for his role in the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. Abdul Majed was a Captain in the Bangladesh Army. Majed was appointed to the Bangladeshi Embassy in Senegal. He retired from the Bangladesh Army in 1980 and joined the civil administration as a Deputy Secretary. He worked at the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation. He was promoted to the rank of Secretary. He joined the Ministry of Youth and Sports as the director of youth development. He was appointed the Director of National Savings Directorate. He disappeared in 1997 after Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was elected Prime Minister of Bangladesh. On 14 August 1975, Majed and other officers looted weapons from the Bengal Lancers armory. On 15 August 1975, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members were killed in the 15 August 1975 Bangladesh coup d'état. Majed and the other officers met at the Bangabhaban and created a new government with Khandaker Mushtaq Ahmed in charge. He was part of the team which attacked the residence of Abdur Rab Serniabat, brother-in-law of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On 2 November 1975, Majed and the other army officers involved in the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman met Khandaker Mushtaq Ahmed at the Bangabhaban. There a decision was made to carry out the Jail Killing to kill four national leaders of Bangladesh Awami League. The leaders were Abul Hasnat Muhammad Qamaruzzaman, Muhammad Mansur Ali, Syed Nazrul Islam, and Tajuddin Ahmed. In 1998, he was sentenced to death for the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by a trial court. On 19 November 2009, Majed's death sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Bangladesh along with 12 other convicts. Five of the convicts were executed on 27 January 2010. They were AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed, Bazlul Huda, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Syed Farooq Rahman, and Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan. Another convict, Abdul Aziz Pasha, died in Zimbabwe. The convicts who absconded were Abdul Majed, Khandaker Abdur Rashid, Noor Chowdhury, Risaldar Moslehuddin Khan, Rashed Chowdhury, and Shariful Haque Dalim. In 2015, the Government of Bangladesh confiscated Majed's properties in Bangladesh, which included 1.35 acres in the Borhanuddin Municipality in Bhola District. On 28 August 2008, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the jail killing case. Majed was arrested on 7 April 2020 at Mirpur by the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police. He was sent to Dhaka Central Jail, Keraniganj by a court in Dhaka. He told Bangladesh police officers that he had been hiding in Kolkata for the last 23 years. He was hanged on 12 April 2020. Emma Stauber Emma Stauber is an American ice hockey defender, currently playing for the Minnesota Whitecaps in the NWHL, and former captain of the University of Minnesota-Duluth. After playing as an offensive defender in high school, Stauber switched to a more defensive style of play, putting up 23 points across 142 games in NCAA. She was the first player from Duluth to be named captain for the University of Minnesota-Duluth's women's hockey team. She was named to the WCHA All-Academic Team three times, and won the WCHA Scholar-Athlete award in 2015. After graduating, she signed for HV71 of the SDHL, but only played one season for them before returning to Minnesota to sign with the Whitecaps. Former NHL goaltender Robb Stauber is her uncle. Outside of hockey, she has a degree in exercise science. Castle Lady Castle Lady (foaled 12 April 2016) is an Irish-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. In 2019 she won a minor race on her debut before taking the Prix de la Grotte and then recording her biggest victory in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches. In three subsequent races she finished fifth in the Coronation Stakes, second in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes and tenth in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Castle Lady is a dark bay mare with a small white star bred in Ireland by her owner Godolphin. She was sent into training with Henri-Alex Pantall at Beaupreau in Maine-et-Loire. She was from the tenth crop of foals sired by Shamardal whose wins included the Dewhurst Stakes, Poule d'Essai des Poulains, Prix du Jockey Club and St. James's Palace Stakes. His other offspring have included Able Friend, Mukhadram, Lope de Vega and Blue Point. Castle Lady's dam Windsor County was an unraced full-sister to Raven's Pass. As a descendant of the American broodmare Classicist (foaled 1965), she was also related to Danzig Connection. After failing to appear on the track as a juvenile, Castle Lady made her debut on 14 March in a maiden race over 1600 metres on the synthetic Polytrack surface at Chantilly Racecourse in which she was ridden by Pierre-Charles Boudot. Starting the 2.7/1 favourite she raced in second place before taking the lead 200 metres from the finish and drawing away to win by three and a half lengths from Red Curry. Mickael Barzalona rode the filly in all of her subsequent races. One month after her maiden win Castle Lady was stepped up in class for the Group 3 Prix de la Grotte at Longchamp Racecourse and started the 4.7/1 third favourite behind Lily's Candle (winner of the Prix Marcel Boussac) and Tifosa (winner of the Listed Prix la Camargo). Castle Lady started well and settled behind the leaders before moving up to take the lead inside the last 200 metres. She extended her advantage in the closing stages to win by one and three quarter lengths from the front-running Imperial Charm. In the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 12 May Castle Lady started the 5/2 favourite against nine opponents including Matematica (runner-up in the Prix Marcel Boussac), East (Prix Thomas Bryon), Watch Me, Rocques (Prix d'Aumale), Coral Beach (Killavullan Stakes), Silva (UAE 1000 Guineas) and Imperial Charm. Castle Lady settled in fourth place as Imperial Charm set the pace from Suphala and Matematica before making progress on the outside to take the lead approaching the last 200 metres. Commes launched a strong late challenge on the inside but Castle Lady held on to win by a nose with East a length and a half back in third place. After the race Pantall said that the filly would not be moved up in distance commenting "She won't stay the Diane trip, and we'll certainly look at the Prix Jacques le Marois, with maybe the Coronation Stakes in between. She doesn't have a lot of experience, and it's quite something for her to find herself in front and then fight all the way to the death. She still has more physical progress to make, and I think there's more to come". As Pantall had predicted, Castle Lady reappeared in the Coronation Stakes over one mile at Royal Ascot on 21 June. She was made the 6/1 third choice in the betting but sustained her first defeat as she never looked likely to win and came home fifth of the nine runners behind Watch Me, beaten four and a quarter lengths by the winner. In the autumn of 2019 Castle Lady embarked on a North American campaign, starting with the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes over nine furlongs at Keeneland on 12 October when she finished second by a length to the Del Mar Oaks winner Cambier Parc. The filly ended her season on 2 November in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf over ten furlongs at Santa Anita Park. She started an 18/1 outsider and came home last of the ten runners behind Iridessa, beaten almost thirteen lengths by the winner after fading badly in the straight.

Saudi Arabia–United Arab Emirates border The Saudi Arabia–United Arab Emirates border is 457 km (284 m) in length and runs from the Persian Gulf coast in the west to the tripoint with Oman in the east. The governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates signed the Treaty of Jeddah in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on 21 August 1974 between Faisal of Saudi Arabia and Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan apparently ending a long-running boundary dispute, but according to the UAE the dispute has not been settled due to discrepancies between the oral agreement before the treaty’s signing and the final text of the treaty itself. According to the UAE, the government did not notice this discrepancy until 1975 as a result of the absence of lawyers, technicians, and geographers on its negotiation team. The UAE has attempted to bring Saudi Arabia back to the negotiating table ever since. The provisions of the 1974 treaty were not publicly disclosed until 1995, when it was lodged with the United Nations. However, the United Arab Emirates never ratified the agreement. The border consists of four straight lines: the first begins in the west on the coast at the Sumayrah Gulf just west of the UAE's Ras Khumays (Ghumais) peninsula, proceeding southwards for 26 km (16 m); the second is orientated NW-SE and runs for 166 km (103 m); the third is orientated NW-SE and runs for 265 km (164 m); and the fourth is orientated SW-NE and runs for 12 km (7 m) up to the Omani tripoint. The border lies entirely within the desert, occasionally cutting across salt-flats such as the Sabkhat Matti. Historically there was no clearly defined boundary in this part of the Arabian peninsula. During the 19th century Britain had signed a number of protectorate treaties with seven emirates on what was then known as the 'Pirate Coast', giving rise to the so-called Trucial States. The interior of Arabia consisted of loosely organised Arab groupings, occasionally forming emirates, most prominent of which was the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa ruled by the al-Saud family. Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence in Arabia via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913-14. During the First World War an Arab Revolt, supported by Britain, succeeded in removing the Ottomans from much of the Middle East; in the period following this Ibn Saud managed to expand his kingdom considerably, eventually proclaiming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. Ibn Saud refused to recognise the Anglo-Ottoman lines and lay claim to large parts of the eastern Arabian hinterland (the so-called ‘Hamza line’). On 25 November 1935 British officials met with Ibn Saud in an attempt to finalise a frontier between the new kingdom and its coastal protectorates, including the Trucial States. The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. In 1949, Saudi Arabia under the rule of Ibn Saud and Saudi Aramco had made incursions to the Western Region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, due to the prospect of getting oil. Ibn Saud was also interested in ruling the area of Al Ain and Al Buraimi, located in the Eastern Region of Abu Dhabi on its border with Oman. This led to the Buraimi Dispute. On 31 August 1952, a group of some 80 Saudi Arabian guards, 40 of whom were armed, led by the Saudi Emir of Ras Tanura, Turki bin Abdullah Al Otaishan, crossed Abu Dhabi territory and occupied Hamasa, one of three Omani villages in the oasis, claiming it as part of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. On 30 July 1954, it was agreed to refer the dispute to an international arbitration tribunal. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia embarked on a campaign of bribery to obtain declarations of tribal loyalty on which its case was to be based. This campaign even extended to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, brother of Sheikh Shakhbut, the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and at that time the "wali" of Al Ain. Zayed was approached by the Saudis, first with an offer of 50% of any oil revenues from the area, then a new car and 40,000 Rupees. A third approach offered Zayed 400 million Rupees and finally, he was informed that the Saudi representative, Abdullah Al Qurayshi, wished to present him with three pistols. In 1955 arbitration proceedings began in Geneva only to collapse when the British arbitrator, Sir Reader Bullard, objected to Saudi Arabian attempts to influence the tribunal and withdrew – one of the two judges to resign, the other being the Belgian President. Given these breaches of the agreement, the British government decided to unilaterally abrogate the Standstill Agreement and take the oasis on 25 October 1955. On 25 October, the Trucial Oman Levies quickly took the oasis and captured all fifteen of the Saudi contingent under the Saudi Emir Bin Nami, who was shot and lightly wounded. The Saudi force was flown out on an RAF Valetta, which took them to Sharjah and then on to Saudi Arabia by sea. Most of the fighting took place after the surrender of the Saudis, with the Bedouin force of some 200 men putting up a spirited resistance to the Levies. After this incident Britain stated that it would unilaterally use a slightly modified version of the 1935 'Riyadh line' as the border henceforth. After the declaration of independence of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, Saudi Arabia withheld the recognition of the country and Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan as its President on the basis of territorial disputes with the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and continued to deal with the emirates as individual emirates bypassing the federal union. In 1974, King Faisal was asked by Sheikh Zayed that the UAE was in dire need of cooperation from Saudi Arabia in its recognition of the country and was asked to open the negotiations over the border issue. King Faisal used the tactic of non-recognition as a leverage against the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to make it reach a settlement quickly. King Faisal was already associated with the issue before 1974 as the minister of foreign affairs during the reign of his father King Abdulaziz. He has witnessed the failure of many meetings at which British officials sometimes represented Abu Dhabi. He felt the handling of the Buraimi dispute in which Saudi troops were defeated and forcibly removed was a great insult to the Kingdom and a blow to be avenged. King Faisal told the UAE delegation which visited him in Taif in July 1972 that Saudi Arabia had been humiliated in Buraimi and that it would have to retrieve its rights, vowing that it would not abandon property inherited from fathers and grandfathers. Sheikh Zayed was more eager for a settlement but Saudi Arabia's demand was unrealistic as it claimed the annexation of extensive lands in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi some of which contained a number of oil fields. On 21 August 1974 an agreement was settled between Sheikh Zayed and King Faisal on the demarcation of the frontiers between Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia immediately declared recognition of the United Arab Emirates, sent its ambassador, and promoted its liaison office in Dubai into a consulate. The step strengthened the United Arab Emirate's position as a union and consolidated Sheikh Zayed's position as President. In 1976, Qatar and UAE agreed to establish a highway to link each other, however this was impeded by Saudi Arabia who stated that the construction company was operating on Saudi territory. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia hired a survey team to examine the possibility of building a port at Ras Ghumais located in UAE territory and awarding a contract to a Saudi-Irish company, arguing that the UAE borders were finalized and recognized in 1976 when King Khalid sealed the agreement. The Saudis hence succeeded in gaining 20 miles east of Ras Ghumais in another Treaty in 1977 and gave Sheikh Zayed a cheque for $34.5 million. However, this treaty remained unrecognized internationally. According to author Anthony Cordesman, "the Saudi government forced Abu Dhabi to move its border 20 miles further east on the Gulf coast” From 1974 until 1980 there was no physical Saudi checkpoints between Qatar and UAE, citizens of both countries moved freely back and forth without interference from the Saudi government until after 1990s. The Saudis did not construct the actual road until after 1990. In June 1990 the direct land road connecting UAE and Qatar was closed for the first time and the Saudis opened a new road connecting Saudi territory with UAE through Al Sila and closed the old road connecting Abu Dhabi to the Qatari border. According to UAE military sources, the Saudi government paid money to Saudi tribes to relocate near Khor Al Udaid and claimed they had been living there for a long time as well as built various military infrastructure near the inlet. In 2004, Emirati under secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Abdulla Rashid Al Nuaimi told US ambassador Marcelle M. Wahba that the UAE signed the treaty in 1974 as a case of "force majeure". In 2004, the UAE publicly raised the question of the boundary with Saudi Arabia and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, asked Saudi Arabia for amendments. Saudi Arabia responded that the treaty has been closed in 1974, except for Article 5 which talks about delineating maritime boundaries. UAE government publicly announced the dissatisfaction to allow changes to the Articles of the Jeddah Treaty. The public announcement with the dissatisfaction came a month after UAE's previous president Sheikh Zayed passed away, indicating that the UAE was not satisfied with the way the boundary issue was handled. Sheikh Khalifa raised the issue when he visited Riyadh in December 2004, however no solution occurred. In 2005, there were concerns that the border dispute might flare up again. In 2005, Sheikh Khalifa visited Qatar and a causeway project intended to link Doha to Abu Dhabi was announced, frustrating Saudi Arabia and causing them to protest that this causeway was passing through Saudi waters even though the maritime boundaries between the two countries was not delineated. Emirati undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated "We don't want to be separated from the Qataris by a slice of Saudi waters." implying that the causeway project was the only hope for Abu Dhabi to be connected to Qatar. In 2004, UAE and Qatar also jointly signed an agreement for the Dolphin Gas Project, which involves Qatar supplying gas to the UAE and Oman. In July 2006 the Saudi government protested the project, arguing that the pipeline passed through Saudi Arabia’s claimed territorial waters. The UAE publicly reopened the dispute in 2006, claiming some lost territory. The Jeddah Agreement granted Saudi Arabia a corridor eastwards from Khawr al Udayd, thus giving the Saudis an outlet to the Persian Gulf on the eastern side of Qatar. In return, the UAE was to keep six villages in the area of Al-Buraimi, including al-Ain, and most of al-Zafra desert. Al-Ain/Al-Buraimi oasis region consists of nine oases/villages, seven of which - Al Ain, Al Jaheli, Al Qattarah, Al Muwaiji, Al Hill, Al Masudi, and Al Muhtaredh are today under Abu Dhabi’s control, while the remaining three, namely Hamasa, Sa'ara and Buraimi, today belong to the Sultanate of Oman. Article 3 of the agreement stated that "all hydrocarbons in the Shaybah-Zarrara field shall be considered as belonging to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" and provided for exploration and development of the whole field by Saudi Arabia. Article 4 stipulated that Saudi Arabia and the UAE “each undertake to refrain from engaging in and from permitting the exploitation of hydro-carbons in that part of its territory to which the hydrocarbon fields primarily located in the territory of the other state extend." In 1992, the UAE wished to renegotiate the status of the treaty, specially the 20 percent of Zararah that was located in Abu Dhabi’s territory. Saudi Arabia published the contents of the treaty in 1995 publicly for the first time to make it clear that under Article 3 of the treaty, the Shaybah field belonged to Saudi Arabia and there will be no joint development of the oilfield. The UAE oil minister was the only GCC oil minister who did not attend the inauguration of the Shaybah oilfield in March 1999 as a way to indicate the UAE's long standing dissatisfaction with Jeddah Treaty Articles. According to a Saudi source, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed made more than two visits to Saudi Arabia in March and April 2011 with the intention of reaching a settlement regarding the 20 percent of Zararah oilfield that was located in Abu Dhabi territory. On 15 August 2011, an anonymous UAE diplomat stated that the UAE wanted changes to the treaty, mainly to Article 3 that would make changes to allow for the oil sharing between Zararah/Shaybah oil field as Sheikh Zayed had obviously believed in August 1974 that the UAE and Saudi Arabia were agreeing to share the oil, but that this had not been included in the provisions of the Treaty and hence its within UAE's rights to request an amendment to the Treaty. The UAE also argued against Article 5 of the treaty, which stated that “both parties shall as soon as possible delimit the offshore boundaries between the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the territory of the United Arab Emirates.” According to the UAE, the article cannot be settled due to conflicting parts with the 1969 territorial agreement between Abu Dhabi and Qatar, as well as with the UAE-Qatar Dolphin Pipeline agreement of 2004. Lastly, the UAE directly disagreed with Article 6 of the treaty, which stipulated that an international company would be required to prepare an official map to reflect the current boundaries between the two countries. The UAE continued to use the older version of the map which did not conform the Treaty of Jeddah, showing Khor al Udaid and the location of the Zararah oilfield as UAE territory as far till 2009. This caused a problem with UAE citizens entering Saudi Arabia in August 2009 who were using their ID cards as the card showed the original map and Emirati citizens who tried to enter Saudi Arabia with their ID cards were turned back at the border. According to The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, it might be argued that the 1974 agreement is of questionable validity in terms of international law. It has been neither published nor ratified by the UAE Federal National Council, a crucial step to make the agreement binding on the parties. Qatar, which suddenly discovered it no longer had a land border with the UAE, was not even a party to the negotiations.

Notable people with this surname include: WD Repeat and Coiled Coil Containing Protein WD Repeat and Coiled-coiled containing protein (WDCP) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the "WDCP" gene. The function of the protein is not completely understood, but WDCP has been identified in a fusion protein with anaplastic lymphoma kinase found in colorectal cancer. WDCP has also been identified in the MRN complex, which processes double-stranded breaks in DNA. WDCP is located in chromosome 2, specifically locus 2p23.3 on the minus strand, in humans. The total gene is 20,235 bp long, from 24,029,340 – 24,047,575. WDCP is located in between the MFSD2B and FKBP1B genes. The total gene contains 4 exons, the details of which can be seen in the table below. Table 1. Exons of WDCP and their various lengths. Common aliases of the gene include chromosome 2, open reading frame 44 (c2orf44), MMAP, and PP384. The WDCP isoform 1 is encoded by mRNA-WD repeat and coiled-coil containing, transcript variant 1. The total RNA transcript is 18,045 bp long and is transcribed from the WDCP gene from nucleotides 24,029,347 - 24,047,391. The coding DNA sequence is 3848 nucleotides long. The 5’ UTR contains 7,897 nucleotides, and the 3’ UTR contains 1,597 nucleotides. There are two known transcript variants of WDCP: WDCP transcript variant 2 and WDCP transcript variant X1. Information about the two transcripts can be seen below. Table 2. Transcript Variants of WDCP with their alternative splicing pattern in comparison to WDCP transcript variant 1. WDCP protein isoform 1 is 721 amino acids in length. Its molecular weight is 79 kDa and the theoretical isoelectric point is 6.2. The protein sequence for WDCP Protein Isoform 1 is shown below. Figure 1. Protein Sequence of WDCP Protein Isoform 1. Compositional analysis of WDCP Isoform 1 shows no extremely high or low levels of particular amino acids. The protein contains no positive, negative, or mixed charged clusters. There are two isoforms of WDCP, as seen in the table below. Table 3. Table of WDCP protein Isoforms and Protein Information. The secondary structure of WDCP Protein Isoform 1 consists of 47 random coils (429 residues, 59.5%), 19 alpha-helices (160 residues, 22.19%), and 31 extended strands (132 residues, 18.31%). There are two predicted disulfide bonds in WDCP, one between cysteine residues 574 and 623, and the other between cysteine residues 713 and 714. WDCP protein domains include two tryptophan-aspartic acid repeat sites, multiple phosphorylation sites, and a domain that interacts with the hemopoietic cell kinase. Across various tissue types, WDCP shows increased mRNA expression in white blood cells (3.0 RPKM), thymus (3.6 RPKM), lymph nodes, bone marrow, and testes. WDCP exhibits increased protein expression in endocrine tissues, and well as the kidney and urinary bladder. Across multiple tissue lines in the GTEx database, WDCP expression seemed to be highest in Epstein-Barr Virus transformed lymphocytes and lowest in the pancreas. NCBI GEO Records reveal that overall WDCP expression is in the 65-70th percentile according to the Universal Human Reference RNA. In fetal tissue, WDCP mRNA expression is highest in the lung at 17 weeks at 3.75 RPKM, the heart at 10 weeks at 3.5 RPKM, and in the intestine at 11 weeks 3.0 RPKM. At 17 weeks, WDCP expression in the intestine drops down from 3.0 RPKM to 0.75 RPKM. The fetal kidney at 20 weeks exhibits the lowest WDCP expression, at 0.5 RPKM. WDCP does not have any CpG islands associated with its promoter. WDCP has relatively low levels of H3K27ac, but higher levels of H3K4me1 and H3K4me3 across various cell types, including HeLa, HUVEC, and leukemia cell lines. The GeneHancer promoter for WDCP is listed as GH02J024045. The transcription factor binding sites associated with this promoter and confirmed with a ChIP signal include HNF4A, CEBPB, ERG1, FOS, ETS1, and E2F6. The binding sites for FOS, EGR1, and ETS1 are located in a DNase hypersensitive site. There are two transcript variants of WDCP detailed in the table in the mRNA section. The mRNA secondary structures of the UTR regions exhibited a high number of predicted stem-loop structures in the WDCP transcript. The 5' UTR region closest to the start codon contained about 22 predicted loops. Stem loops in the 5' UTR near the start codon could indicate lower levels of expression. There are 108 predicted loops in the 3' UTR region. There are no known miRNA targets in the 3' UTR. WDCP Isoform 1 contains the following post-translational modifications: Glycation is the addition of a sugar molecule to an amino acid and is associated with pathologies including renal failure and diabetes. Glycation is predicted to occur at lysine residues: 5, 7, 83, 189, 244, 262, 294, 325, 389, 405, 407, 461, 552, and 617. Acetylation is the addition of an acetyl group at the starting methionine residue. This is usually associated with metabolic-relating pathways. WDCP has one confirmed acetylation site at the starting methionine residue. Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group to amino acids. It is mainly associated with cellular signaling pathways and can instigate tumor development. Serine, Threonine, and Tyrosine phosphorylation sites were identified in 27 residues at a NetPhos threshold of 0.9. Phosphorylation was detected at: Possible kinases that interact with WDCP include Casein kinase 1, Casein kinase 2, cAMP, cGMP, P38MAPK, DNAPK, Protein kinase A, and Protein kinase C. SUMOylation is the addition of a small ubiquitin-like modifier to lysine residues in proteins. SUMOYlation sites in WDCP include lysine residues 47, 152, 298, 310, 709, with lysine residues 47 and 152 having the highest probability of SUMOylation. SUMOylation can affect protein-protein interactions and affect protein ubiquitination. Palmitoylation is the addition of a fatty acid chain to cysteine residues. There is one confirmed site of palmitoylation at cysteine residue 714. GalNAc O-Glycosylation is the addition of a sugar molecule to a serine or threonine residue, which possibly increases structural stability. Some of these residues overlap with phosphorylation sites, indicating that these residues can switch between a phosphorylation site. These sites were detected at: N-glycosylation is the addition of a sugar molecule to an asparagine residue. Asparagine residue 483 is the only detected N-glycosylation site in WDCP. There were no sites of amidation, C-linked mannosylation, GPI modification sites, non-classical protein secretion, transmembrane helices or regions, prediction of R and K cleavage sites, lipoprotein sites, sulfonated tyrosines, or Twin Arginine signal peptides. WDCP Isoform 1 has no transmembrane domains, actin-binding motifs, ER retention motifs, or Golgi transport signals. The protein is most likely located in the nucleus, with a reliability score of 47.8%, and a 30.4% chance of being located in the cytoplasm. Close orthologs of WDCP Isoform 1 have shown similar results for orthologous proteins, where the protein is most likely located in the nucleus. In addition, there are two predicted nuclear localization sequences in WDCP, starting at residues 401 and 581. Immunostaining of WDCP has shown localization in the nucleoli of osteosarcoma cells, as well as the cytoplasm of kidney cells. The function of WDCP is currently not well-understood, but due to increased expression levels in the bone marrow and thymus, the protein could have possible relations to immune function and development. Its location in the nucleus, relation to the MRN complex, an abundance of phosphorylation sites, and associations with various cancers could indicate a role in cell growth regulation or a proto-oncogenic function. WDCP has known interactions with HCK, where a proline-rich region of WDCP binds to the Src homology 3 domain of HCK. As mentioned before, WDCP was known to exist in a fusion with ALK. This fusion changes the structure of ALK, which results in constitutive signaling. Studies have confirmed interactions between WDCP and RuvB-like proteins 1 and 2 in human embryonic kidney cells, which belong to a family of AAA proteins associated with ATPase activity, C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 2 and DYNLT1. Based on the transcription factor binding sites listed in the transcriptional regulation section, WDCP could have possible interactions with the following transcription factors: Studies have linked WDCP to various cancers, including colorectal cancer, leukemia, and osteosarcomas. WDCP levels are higher in colorectal cancer metastases compared to the primary tumor. GEO Records show elevated levels of WDCP in leukemia cell lines, which are regulated with Imatinib, a drug used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. This pattern is also seen in HeLa cell lines when treated with Casiopenias, small molecules with an active Cu2+ that allow the molecule to bind to tumors and induce apoptosis. There are no paralogs of WDCP, but orthologs of this gene were found in primates, rodents, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, echinoderms, and possibly fungi. There are no orthologs in prokaryotes or plants. There were no organisms with proteins containing homologous domains. The graph to the right shows the rate of evolution of WDCP in comparison to the evolution rate of the fibrinogen alpha-chain (NCBI: NP_068657) and cytochrome c (NCBI: NP_061820). As seen in the graph to the right, the evolution rate of WDCP is faster than that of cytochrome c, but slower than the evolution of the fibrinogen alpha-chain. While there are some sequences in WDCP that are conserved (which can be seen in the conceptual translation), there are very few known conserved domains among the various orthologs. There is one conserved glycation site detected through a multiple sequence alignment, lysine 389. The table below shows a list of orthologs, the evolutionary date of divergence between the organism and humans, and the % identity between WDCP Isoform 1 and the orthologous protein sequence. Table 4. Table of organisms with a WDCP orthologous protein. Isotta Fraschini Asso Caccia The Isotta Fraschini Asso Caccia, a.k.a. Isotta Fraschini Asso-450 Caccia, was an air-cooled, supercharged V12 piston aero engine produced in the 1930s by Italian manufacturer Isotta Fraschini. The Asso Caccia had a V-cylinder configuration, with cylinders made of carbon steel, equipped with cooling fins, mounted separately from each other, to which a single head per cylinder was connected. Above them, two light alloy carters, one per group of cylinders, had the function of connecting the cylinder heads and the intake ducts as well as containing, closed by a cover, the tappets and the distribution members. The crankshaft, made of special steel, was supported by a series of 8 bearings, with the insertion in the rear position between the last two of a double bearing and thrust ball bearing, which had the task of supporting the effort of the propeller whether it is mounted in a pulling or pushing configuration. Martry Budka Budka is a Polish surname. Notable people with this surname include: Ishqi-Mari Ishqi-Mari or Ishgi-Mari ( iš11-gi4-ma-rí), previously read Lamgi-Mari, was a King of the second Mariote kingdom who reigned c. 2350-2330 BCE. He is one of three Mari kings known from archaeology, Ikun-Shamash probably being the oldest one. The third king is Iku-Shamagan, also known from an inscribed statue. In their inscriptions, these Mari kings used a dialect of the Akkadian language, whereas their Sumerian contemporaries to the south used the Sumerian language. It is thought that Ishqi-Mari was the last king of Mari before the conquest and the destruction of Mari by the Akkadian Empire under Sargon circa 2330 BCE. Ishqi-Mari is known from a statue with inscription. The statue is in the Aleppo National Museum. The inscription on the back of the statue reads: This inscription was instrumental in identifying Tell Hariri with the Mari of antiquity. Several cylinder seals with intricate designs in the name of "Ishqi-Mari, King of Mari" are also known. The statue of Ishqi-Mari was discovered buried in the archaeological remains of the ancient city of Mari, in the Temple of Ishtar, by a French archaeological team led by André Parrot on 23 January 1934. The statue shows Ishqi-Mari with a long beard and parted and plaited hair. He wears a hairbun similar to the Sumerian royal hairbuns, such as on the headdress of Meskalamdug or reliefs on Eannatum. He wears a fringed coat leaving one shoulder bare, a type of clothing also seen on contemporary Akkadian Empire depictions of rulers. Lee Salem (editor) Lee Salem (July 21, 1946 – September 2, 2019) was an American comic strip editor who worked at Universal Press Syndicate from 1974 until his retirement in 2014. While working at Universal, he helped to develop such highly-regarded comic strips as "For Better or For Worse", "Calvin & Hobbes", and "La Cucaracha", in addition to discovering "Cathy" and "The Boondocks". According to the "Los Angeles Times", "Beloved by a tight circle of industry artists, Salem’s keen eye for finding talented and idiosyncratic writers and cartoonists lead to the syndication of some of the best and most daring American comic strips of the last quarter of the 20th century." Salem was born in Orlando, Florida, on July 21, 1946, to Louis and Rosemary Salem. He grew up in Boston, Massachusetts and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He received his bachelor's degree from Park College and his master's degree from the University of Missouri, Kansas City, both in English. In 1974, he began working at Universal Press Syndicate as an assistant editor, where he was promoted to vice president and editorial director in 1981. In 2006, he became president of Universal Press Syndicate, a position he held until his retirement in 2014. In 2013, he received the Silver T-Square Award from the National Cartoonists Society. On August 19, 2019, Salem suffered a stroke from which he died on September 2 of that year at his home in Leawood, Kansas. Thatcheria liratula Thatcheria liratula is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae. Fossils of this marine species were found in Lower Pliocene strata in New Zealand Toyohashi Railroad Azumada Main Line Azumada Main Line is a tram line in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan operated by Toyohashi Railroad. It connects Ekimae (situated in front of the JR and Meitetsu Toyohashi Station) to Akaiwaguchi and Ihara (one stop from Akaiwaguchi) to Undoukoen-mae. The line is referred to as Toyo-Tetsu Shinaisen by Toyohashi Railroad. The railroad also operated another tram line, the Yagyu-bashi Branch Line, prior to 1976. The entire line is a street running tram line and is often called the "Shinaisen" or the "shiden" (both meaning city tram). Although some sections ceased operations during the 1970s much like many other tram lines in the era, a new branch line between Ihara and Undokoen-mae was opened in 1982. In 1998, Ekimae stop was moved to its current location, extending the line by 150 m. In 2005, a new station by the name of Ekimae-odori was created between Ekimae and Shinkawa. Since 1989, most tramcars excluding type T1000 and Mo3000 have had full-body advertisements. After the closure of the Meitetsu Gifu City Line (Gifu) and Minomachi Line (Gifu, Seki, Mino) in 1 April 2005, the Higashda Main Line has been the only tram line in Tokai region. Between Fudaki and Higashi-haccho, the line runs on the National Route 1. Azumada Main Line being the only tram line that currently runs on the route. The curve at Ihara where the line to Undoukoen-mae branches has a radius of 11 m. This is the sharpest railway curve in Japan and is known as the Ihara Curve. As of 1 October 2019, Azumada Main Line has a flat rate fare system, with the adult fare being 180 yen and the child fare 90 yen. The proximity card "manaca" and other such cards compatible with it such as TOICA and Suica can be used to pay the fares. Fares are collected on the passenger's entry onto the tramcar. A transfer is required to go from Undokoen-mae to Akaiwaguchi and vice versa, but there is no discounted joint fare. A one-day pass is also available at 500 yen. During the daytime, trams operate every 7 minutes between Ekimae and Ihara, with the origin/destination alternating between Akaiwaguchi and Undoukoen-mae. During rush hour, additional trams are operated between Ekimae and Keirinjo-mae, shortening the minimum interval to five minutes. As the tram depot is situated in Akaiwaguchi, most late night services head to Akaiwaguchi. Additional trams are also operated during occasions such as festivals in the town and professional baseball matches at the stadium located close to Undokoen-mae stop. When there are no passengers getting on or off, trams can pass stops. On the Azumada Main Line, several special trams are operated every year. Mo3100 car 3102 (retired March 2018) had been used for these trams, but since 2010, Mo3200 car 3203 is used. Below is a list of major special trams. The line's depot is located at Akaiwaguchi. Before the extension to Akaiwaguchi in 1960, the depot was situated in Azumada. The site is now used as a pharmacy. A siding that can park two tramcars exists in Keirinjo-mae, next to which the office for the line stands. During the daytime, drivers change at this stop and in the evening rush hour, the tramcars parked here are also used. Crossovers between the east-bound and west-bound tracks exist on the west side of Shinkawa and on the east side of Azumada-sakaue. The crossover at Shinkawa is used once a year when the section between Ekimae and Shinkawa become a pedestrian zone at the Toyohashi Festival. The crossover at Azumada-sakue is regularly used for the tramcars from Ihara to enter the siding at Keirinjo-mae. Most cars now have full body advertising or special liveries.

He served as an officer in the Medical Corps and as the 38th Surgeon General of the United States Navy. Faison spent time growing up in Norfolk, Virginia and Cleveland, Ohio. He graduated high school in Cleveland, from Rocky River High School. He then attended Wake Forrest University where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1980. Upon graduation, he received a commission as a naval officer through the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). This is where he completed his medical degree in 1984. He would go on to complete his post graduate training at Naval Hospital San Diego in pediatrics and a fellowship training at the University of Washington in neurodevelopmental pediatrics. In 2006, Faison became the commanding officer of U.S. Medical Task Force, Kuwait. He was in command of the expeditionary medical facility, where he oversaw healthcare operations for Kuwait, Qatar, and southern Iraq. In addition, he also oversaw all medical logistics support through U.S. Central Command. Upon his return in 2007, Faison took over command of Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton. Not only overseeing operations at the hospital, he would also direct operations at all area branch health clinics on the base and surrounding areas. In 2009, Faison served as Deputy Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), for Current and Future Health Care Operations. All strategies and protocols regarding Naval Medical Treatment Facilities and operations would be under his responsibility. To include the relief effort in the Republic of Haiti, after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the country in 2010. He coordinated Navy Medicine's response and sent the hospital ship, USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), fully staffed and prepared, within five days of the earthquake to aid in relief efforts. Faison would go on to take command of Navy Medicine West and Naval Medical Center San Diego in 2010. Here he would be responsible for 10 hospitals and over 30 clinics, as well as 16,000 staff on the west coast. He would launch multiple different programs that would improve health and fleet readiness, while also decreasing healthcare costs. This would lead him to receiving California's Medical Community's Lighthouse Award for visionary leadership and inspiring health innovation. This would mark the first time a member of the Department of Defense would receive this award. He would also coordinate the U.S. Navy's medical response for Operation Tomodachi, after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake tore through eastern Japan. This triggered a tsunami to crash through the northeastern Honshu coast, flooding the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, leaving more than 20,000 dead or missing. In 2013 Faison became Deputy Surgeon General of the Navy and on December 25, 2015, he would be appointed the 38th Surgeon General of the Navy. Under his leadership, Navy Medicine began to shift its focus of treatment from a facility-based care model to operational readiness. Investing more in operational medical platforms, such as enhancing Fleet and Marine Corps unit integration. Early commands held by Faison after his commission include; Amphibious Group 3; USS Texas (CGN 39); Naval Hospital Lemoore; U.S. Naval Hospital, Yokosuka, Japan; Chief Information Officer, Navy Medicine; Director of DoD Telemedicine, Washington D.C.; Group Surgeon, 3rd Force Service Support Group, Fleet Marine Forces, Pacific; and Deputy Commander, Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth, Virginia.

Sex trafficking in Malaysia Sex trafficking in Malaysia is human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and slavery that occurs in Malaysia. Malaysia is a country of origin, destination and transit for sex trafficking. Sex trafficking victims in the country are from all ethnic groups in Malaysia and foreigners. Children, people in rural areas and or poverty, minorities, migrants, and refugees are vulnerable. Malaysian citizens, primarily women and girls, have been sex trafficked into other countries in Asia and different continents. Many are forced into prostitution and or marriage and unfree labour. Victims are threatened and experience physically and psychologically abuse. They contract sexually transmitted diseases from rapes. Some are coerced to be in online pornographic films. The perpetrators are often part of or collude with criminal syndicates. They increasing use the internet to deceive victims. The government of Malaysia has been criticized for its response to sex trafficking. Corruption and impunity are pervasive. Officials and police have been complicit in trafficking. Law enforcement have also failed to recognize victims and other indications of trafficking, and have treated cases as immigration violations. Though some anti-trafficking efforts, such as public service announcements, are carried out, progress has been limited by poor border management, weak victim protections, inadequate law enforcement practices, low convictions, and other factors.

List of remote companies The following is a list of remote companies. The list includes only companies that have been noted by sources as being former or current fully remote companies. Fully remote companies are companies that do not have a physical office where employees work and may have a mailbox as their headquarter. Their workers have the option of either telecommuting or working from somewhere else. Many fully remote companies employ workers in numerous time zones. Benefits of being fully remote are: no longer having to pay rent, the ability to expand quickly, and no longer being constrained by location when hiring employees. A downside is that being physically together could help employees better communicate and come up with ideas. Another downside is that employees may feel secluded from their coworkers whom they do not see in person. This could cause them not to have compassion for each other. To build a sense of community, fully remote companies have held frequent meetups and retreats that last a week. Companies participating in the fully remote experience include those in the technology, e-commerce, and e-learning sectors. There are about 100 fully remote companies that employ 10 or more people. GitLab, a fully remote company that employees 1,100 people based in over 60 countries, is one of the largest all-remote companies.

It marked the culmination of the 1988 Women's Cricket World Cup, the fourth edition of the tournament. Both Australia and England had previously won the competition; England won the inaugural tournament in 1973, while Australia won in both 1978 and 1982. Australia won the match by eight wickets to claim their third world title. Australia and England finished first and second in the league-stage to claim their places in the final. England batted first in the final, but were hindered by a slow outfield, and found scoring difficult. The humid conditions helped Australia's spin bowlers, Lyn Fullston and Lyn Larsen, who combined for five wickets. Jan Brittin top-scored for England with 46 runs, as they made 127 for seven. In response, Australia initially struggled, losing two early wickets for 14 runs. An unbroken partnership of 115 runs between Lindsay Reeler and Denise Annetts saw Australia to victory with more than 15 overs remaining. The 1988 Women's Cricket World Cup was the fourth Women's Cricket World Cup. The first had been held in 1973, pre-dating the first men's Cricket World Cup by two years. The 1988 tournament featured five teams; Australia, England, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand. It took place between 29 November and 18 December, featuring 22 matches over 20 days. England had won the first World Cup on home soil, before Australia claimed both the next two. Neither of the first two tournaments had featured a final, but had rather been league competitions, in which the team which finished with the most points won. Australia had defeated England by three wickets in the final of the 1982 World Cup. Each team played eight matches during the round-robin stage of the tournament, facing each other twice. The top two teams would progress directly to the final. Australia won all but one of their matches. Their 255-run win over the Netherlands on the opening day of the tournament remained the largest win by runs until 1997. Australia's only loss came against England, who beat them by 15 runs. Australia's opening batters, Lindsay Reeler and Ruth Buckstein, scored four of the five centuries made during the tournament; Reeler's 108 not out against New Zealand was the only one that was not scored against the Netherlands. England won six of their matches, and lost two; against Australia and New Zealand. Australia finished top of the group with 28 points, followed by England whose 24 points were four more than New Zealand in third. Ireland and the Netherlands were well behind, with 8 and 0 points respectively. The final was held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, in Melbourne, Australia, on 18 December. The match was broadcast live on radio and on ABC Television in Australia, and in front of a crowd of 3,326. The Melbourne Cricket Ground was a large ground, capable of seating 90,000 people; England's Jan Brittin later said: "The ground was wall-to-wall seating with no one sitting in them, which didn't lend itself to a big-match atmosphere." There had been a thunderstorm overnight, and the rain had left the outfield very wet. The England captain, Jane Powell, won the toss and decided to bat first. Her decision was primarily based on Australia's public aversion to batting second, and having to chase a target. Heather Smith of "The Sydney Morning Herald" suggested that, due to the wet conditions, "England may have unwittingly helped their own downfall". Carole Hodges and Wendy Watson opened the batting for England, and neither scored a run until the sixth over; the only runs attributed to England before that were wides bowled by the Australians, which "The Age" attributed to the "excitement of playing on the MCG for the first time". After 25 overs, England had scored 40 runs without losing a wicket, but both openers were frustrated by the slow run-rate. Watson was dismissed two overs later for 17; playing an aggressive shot, she was caught by Denise Annetts at cover off the bowling of Lyn Fullston. She had shared a 42-run opening partnership with Hodges, but John Woodcock of "The Times" complained that they "lacked pace between the wickets, when something very spritely was needed". England added ten more runs before Hodges was bowled by a delivery from Lyn Larsen which dislodged her off-bail. Hodges had scored 23, and England were 52 for two. Three of England's middle-order batters were dismissed for low scores: their captain, Powell, was caught behind off Larsen's bowling for one run; Karen Hicken was bowled by Fullston for five; Janet Aspinall was caught and bowled by Fullston for two. Brittin, who had come to the crease when Watson was out, remained not out; England were 74 for five. After lunch, Brittin and Jo Chamberlain scored more quickly for England, earning praise from both "The Sydney Morning Herald" and "The Times", but after putting on 26 runs together, Chamberlain was run out for 14 after the ball deflected off the bowler. Woodcock suggested that Brittin was England's only remaining hope. Patsy Lovell was trapped leg before wicket for four runs, while Suzie Kitson remained one not out at the end of the innings. Brittin had made England's highest score, 46 not out. Woodcock said that: "It was a pity, really, that Brittin had not got in before the 27th over, with the touch she has." England scored 127 runs, a total "The Sydney Morning Herald" said "was never going to be enough". Throughout their 60-over innings, England scored two boundaries. In humid conditions, they especially struggled against spin bowling; Fullston took three wickets and allowed 29 runs, while Larsen took two wickets for 22. The wet outfield also slowed scoring; this dried as the match went on, giving Australia the better of the batting conditions. In the "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack", Carol Salmon estimated that the slow outfield cost England between 20 and 30 runs. Aspinall, who opened the bowling for England, struggled for accuracy; conceding extras, particularly wides, had been a problem for England all tournament and the final was no exception. In spite of this, England made an early breakthrough: Chamberlain, who according to "The Age" "worried the Australians with her accurate medium-pacers", trapped the Australian opener Buckstein leg before wicket without scoring in the second over. Australia's next batter, Sharlene Heywood only scored five runs in nine minutes until confusion between herself and Reeler led to Heywood being run out, leaving Australia on 14 for two. Annetts joined Reeler at the crease, and early in her innings was criticised by "The Age" for "[dangling] a dangerously limp bat". Reeler was troubled by the quicker bowling of Kitson, and in the 14th over, England were convinced that they had dismissed her, caught behind, but the umpire turned down the appeal. Reeler claimed the ball had clipped her pads, rather than her bat, before being caught by the wicket-keeper. After the appeal, Reeler played more circumspectly for a while, before taking the offensive with "elegant driving and delicate cutting", according to "The Age". In contrast to Reeler's technical style, Annetts played powerful shots, predominantly into the leg side. Reeler brought up her 50 and Australia's 100 from successive deliveries; the first a cover drive which went for a boundary, and the second an on drive. Annetts secured victory with a pull through the on side. Reeler finished with 59 runs, and Annetts with 48. The pair shared an unbroken 115-run partnership, and secured victory for Australia with eight wickets and more than 15 overs remaining. Umpires: Key Reeler finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer, with 448 runs, while for the second successive World Cup, Fullston took the most wickets, with 16. After the tournament, Sharon Tredrea, Australia's vice-captain and former captain, announced her retirement. She was the only player who had appeared in all four World Cups. Between them, Australia and England have won ten of the eleven Women's Cricket World Cups; only in 2000 did one of the pair fail to win, when New Zealand beat Australia in the final.

Mocatta (name) Mocatta is a Sephardic Anglo-Jewish surname. Notable people with the name include: Aprea-Cuccaro clan The Aprea-Cuccaro clan is a Camorra clan operating in the area of Barra, in the city of Naples. Giovanni Aprea, known as "'e curtiello", a leading figure of the clan, began the criminal career working for , then a powerful boss of the Sarno clan from Ponticelli. Aprea was arrested for the first time on April 27, 1990, in a building in Barra, where he was hiding with his three bodyguards, all fugitives for Camorra association and racketeering. Investigations in the early 1990s already indicated him as the head of the local underworld. After the arrest of Giovanni Aprea, his brother Vincenzo took the reins of the clan. After Vincenzo's arrest, the reins of the clan passed into the hands of the three Aprea sisters: Lena, Patrizia and Giuseppina. Angelo Cuccaro, called "Angiulillo o' fratone", certainly the most important figure of the Cuccaros within the Aprea-Cuccaro clan, began his criminal career as a right hand man of the boss Giovanni Aprea, in fact the Cuccaro, according to investigators, represented a sort of criminal subgroup with its own, limited, autonomy in the management of the organization in Barra. Angelo Cuccaro has been in the command of the clan together with his brothers Michele and Luigi. According to investigators, since the 1990s, the Aprea-Cuccaro clan has entered into an agreement with the Secondigliano Alliance. The goal was to resist the pressure exerted by the Mazzarella clan and the Sarno clan. The clan, in fact, is the first to offer support to the De Luca Bossa clan against the Sarnos, in the times of the violent feud between the two organizations. In the late 1990s, the clan was also involved in the investigation conducted by the prosecutors Antimafia, Luigi Bobbio and Giovanni Corona which reconstructs the Camorra feuds in the eastern area. In the 2000s, Angelo Cuccaro became famous for having been immortalized in a video published by the weekly L'espresso which shows him aboard of a Rolls-Royce during the famous "Gigli" festival, in Barra. The video has attracted the attention of the international media, for the ostentatious way in which Cuccaro attended the party. In the 1990s, the then president of the Barra district council was arrested and reported by investigators as the clan's "trusted man" within the local parliament. The investigations opened a new phase when it revealed about the bribes imposed by the Aprea-Cuccaro clan, and pocketed by the politician, to the entrepreneurs engaged in the building renovation works in Barra, which has costed to the politician a new arrest warrant by extortion and camorra association in 1997. In 2010, the sisters Patrizia, Lena and Giuseppina Aprea were arrested together with 13 alleged affiliates of the Aprea-Cuccaro clan. In 2011, €20 million were seized from the clan by the Italian Police. Among the seized assets were two apartments, a villa, two companies, shares in three companies and seven luxury cars. On March 14, 2014, Angelo Cuccaro, known as "Angiulillo o' fratone", was arrested in Ardea. Cuccaro was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Luigia Esposito in 1996. In May 2014, the Neapolitan Anti-Mafia Directorate seized movable and immovable property worth €5 million that belonged to the clan. Among the seized assets was also a mega villa in the province of Naples. On June 21, 2015, Luigi Cuccaro was arrested in the Barra district, the clan stronghold. On October 6, 2015, Michele Cuccaro, Angelo's brother, was arrested in Cisterna di Latina. Angelo was included in the list of the 100 most dangerous fugitives. In 2017 Cuccaro was sentenced to life imprisonment, considered the responsible for the murder of the 14 year old Giovanni Gargiulo, happened on September 14, 1998. Gargiulo was murdered because he was the brother of Costantino Gargiulo, affiliated with the Formicola clan. On March 17, 2020, the Italian police arrested five members of the clan suspected, in various capacities, of extortion and attempted extortion. According to investigations, the building contractors of the area, victims of extortion by the arrested members of the clan, were summoned to the 'villa' of the boss Antonio Acanfora, considered the current regent of the Apreas, also arrested in the operation. This new wave of extortions made by the clan are considered part of the new criminal alliance between the Aprea clan, the De Luca Bossa clan and the Rinaldi clan. On May 29, 2020, Ciro Imperatrice, known as Brutolino, was arrested in an apartment in Barra, the police surprised him hidden inside a closet of the bedroom. Imperatrice is allegedly the regent of the Andolfi faction, particularly linked to the Cuccaros. According to the latest DIA reports, the Aprea-Cuccaro clan is allied with the Rinaldi clan from San Giovanni a Teduccio, and with the De Luca Bossa clan from Ponticelli, with the intention of undermining the Mazzarella clan. Yet, according to the DIA, the Aprea-Cuccaro together with the Rinaldi clan are trying to expand to Somma Vesuviana. And through contacts with the local criminals, would have taken control of illicit affairs in the area, supporting the D'Atri faction, a small criminal group already inserted in the underworld of Somma Vesuviana. In 2020, an emerging group formed by very young affiliates declared war on the Aprea-Cuccaro clan. With the intention of taking the place of the old clan, on May 6 of the same year the new group ambushed Luigi Ferrante, an important affiliate of the clan. Ferrante was shot but recovered in the Ospedale del Mare, in Ponticelli. According to the police, this was a clear sign that a new group would be wanting to end the hegemony created by the Rinaldi-De Luca Bossa-Aprea in the eastern region of Naples. According to numerous police reports, in recent years the clan has extended its influence also on the Ponticelli area. Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes Akciju Sabiedriba Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes Akciju Sabiedriba was a Latvian-German airline, based in Riga, Latvia. It operated international air lines from Riga Spilve airport (ICAO: EVRS). The airline was launched in 1922. It was finally dissolved in 1928 after major shareholders pulled out support. The airline, under the name of Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes Akziju Saboedriba, was founded on July 31, 1922. It had a capital of 100,000 (Lats) Gold francs, divided into 5,000 shares each 20 (Lats) Gold francs. The foundation of the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS was supported by the "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG" from Dessau, eager to find ways to avoid destruction of its fleet of Junkers F 13 and increase its sales of Junkers-aircraft. Junkers was also eager to exploit the German postal authorities’ concession for the transportation of freight and passengers on the link Berlin – Königsberg – Kaunas (or Klaipėda / Mėmel) – Riga, granted in December 1920. The founders of Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS were two Latvian citizens Captain Janis Lindberg and Lieutenant Janis Osol, together with Dr Alexander Woskressenski, a Russian lawyer living in Riga and serving as general agent for Lloyd-Junkers Luftverkehrs GmbH for Latvia and Estonia. The company received a special concession from the Latvian Government for flying international services. Besides being an airline company, Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS was to act as an agent, planned the purchase of workshops for aircraft maintenance and the building of maintenance facilities at airports. Article 17 of the company’s charter included the possibility for the company to use its shares for the purchase of aircraft. This was done to give "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG" the possibility to deliver aircraft to the company. On August 2, 1922, 2,000 shares were transferred to "Junkers Werke AG", Dessau and 2,760 shares were transferred to the Junkers-affiliated Danziger Luftpost GmbH from Danzig in exchange for two Junkers F 13 aircraft. Junkers Werke AG’s share remained the same throughout the company’s existence, but through so-called Treuhändervertrag (straw men agreements) it owned 100 % of the company. In exchange Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS received one silver-coloured Junkers F 13, named "Condor" (registration No. D-202 c/n 579), from "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG" and another "Fasan" (registration No. D-215, c/n 631) from Danziger Luftpost GmbH. Initially they flew with German registrations until were registered in Latvia respectively as B.L.A.T.A. (earliest in September 1923) and B.L.A.T.B. (earliest in March 1924). In the spring of 1923, the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS joined the Osteuropa Union of Junkers-affiliated airline companies to fly (as from March 7, 1923) on the Tallinn – Riga – Kaunas – Königsberg line. This line also served Klaipėda. On this line the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS and other Osteuropa Union-members between May and October 1923 flew 107,896 km and transported 1,061 passengers, 7,041 kg of freight and 581 kg of mail. Of the 284 flights planned, 257 were carried out (= 90% regularity). This line was served also in 1924 and 1925, during the months of May to October. While participating Osteuropa Union air service in 1923-1925, Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS flew 603,000 kilometres, carried 5,627 passengers and 84,007 kg. of freight. On May 7, the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS joined the founders of the Europa Union KGA in Berlin, but when Europa Union KGA decided to increase its capital stock (September 1925), the Latvian Government withdrew its subsidies for the airline. As a result, the company had to pull out of the co-operation and had subsequently to cease operations under Europa Union KGA’s jurisdiction. In May 1925 Dr. Woskressenski asked Junkers’ director Dr Kaumann to investigate the possibilities of supplying Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS with one Junkers F 13W and two Junkers G 24. This plan was later abandoned. The airline was not profitable. Only in the year 1924 it recorded a small profit of Latvian Lats 104.35. Out of total revenue of Lats 366,319.95, the sales of airlines tickets produced a revenue of only Lats 42,328.86. The rest came from owners and Latvian Government subsidies. The Junkers Werke AG decided to close down the airline in summer of 1926, after Latvian Government withdrew its subsidies in 1925. Subsequently both Junkers F 13s were sold in June and July of 1926 and eventually got back their German registrations and names. The company was finally dissolved by November 1928. Throughout its history, Latvijas Gaisa Satiksme operated three aircraft of single type Junkers F-13. However, at any given moment the maximum number of airline's aircraft was two. They were registered as B.L.A.T.A. and B.L.A.T.B. B.L.A.T.A. (c/n 579, former registration D-202 "Condor") was provided by "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG". B.L.A.T.B. (c/n 631, former registration D-215 "Fasan") was provided by Danziger Luftpost GmbH. Crashed on October 15, 1924 and subsequently destroyed by fire during repair works in Königsberg. B.L.A.T.B. (c/n 570, former registration D-251 "Eule"). Received in April 1925 as replacement for B.L.A.T.B. c/n 631. On October 15, 1924 the Junkers F 13, B.L.A.T.B. has crash-landed. No accounts of victims were recorded. The aircraft was subsequently destroyed by fire during the repair works in Königsberg. On March 10, 1926 the Junkers F 13 B-LATA, leased by Aero O/y, crash-landed near Helsinki during heavy fog. Somme accounts claim that it was carrying the delegation of Latvian Air Force, which had just visited Finland. Others claim that it has one passenger on board. No accounts of victims were recorded. On April 19, 1926 the aircraft. shipped to Königsberg for repairs. The airline served following destinations: Kaunas (Aleksotas / S. Darius and S. Girėnas airport) Klaipėda () Königsberg (Devau airport) Riga (Spilve airport) Tallinn (Lasnamäe Airfield) 1. 10 Marz 1926, https://www.junkers.de/blog/bruch-und-wiederaufbau-einer-junkers-f-13/ 2.

French cruiser Alger Alger was the lead ship of her class of protected cruisers built for the French Navy in the late 1880s and early 1890s. "Alger" and her two sister ships were ordered during the tenure of Admiral Théophile Aube as Minister of Marine according to the theories of the doctrine. The ships were intended as long-range commerce raiders, and they were armed with a main battery of four guns, were protected by an armor deck that was thick, and were capable of steaming at a top speed of . "Alger" served with the Northern Squadron early in her career, where she took part in routine peacetime training exercises. In 1895, she was deployed to French Indochina, returning to France in 1897 for a stint with the Mediterranean Squadron. Placed in reserve by 1901, she remained out of service for several years. Reports conflict over her activities in the mid-1900s, with contemporary reports placing her in the Mediterranean for fleet maneuvers, while later historians state the ship was on a second tour in East Asia from 1905. Both agree that "Alger" served in Asian waters as late as 1908. The ship was reduced to a storage hulk in 1911 and remained in the fleet's inventory until 1939, when she was broken up. Admiral Théophile Aube, the French Minister of Marine in the mid-1880s, was an ardent supporter of the doctrine that emphasized long-range commerce raiding cruisers. Upon becoming the naval minister in 1886, Aube called for the construction of six large and ten small protected cruisers, though by the end of his tenure in 1887, the program had been reduced to five large, two medium, and six small cruisers. Aube ordered the first two "Alger"-class cruisers to fulfill the requirements for the first set of large cruisers, and his successor, Édouard Barbey, authorized the third. The three "Alger"s proved to be the last of the initial series of commerce raiders built under the influence of the . "Alger" was long between perpendiculars, with a beam of and a draft of . She displaced . Her crew varied over the course of her career, amounting to 387–405 officers and enlisted men. The ship's propulsion system consisted of a pair of triple-expansion steam engines driving two screw propellers. Steam was provided by twenty-four coal-burning Belleville type water-tube boilers that were ducted into two funnels. Her machinery was rated to produce for a top speed of . She had a cruising radius of at . The ship was armed with a main battery of four 28-caliber guns and six 30-cal. guns. All of these guns were placed in individual pivot mounts; the 164 mm guns were in sponsons located fore and aft, with two guns per broadside. Four of the 138 mm guns were in sponsons between the 164 mm guns, one was in an embrasure in the forecastle and the last was in a swivel mount on the stern. For close-range defense against torpedo boats, she carried a pair of 9-pounder guns, eight 3-pounder Hotchkiss guns, and eight Hotchkiss revolver cannon. She was also armed with five torpedo tubes in her hull above the waterline. Armor protection consisted of a curved armor deck that was thick, along with plating on the conning tower. The keel for "Alger" was laid down in November 1887 in Cherbourg, and her completed hull was launched on 23 November 1889. She was completed in 1891. The ship remained out of service until 1893, when she was commissioned for service with the Northern Squadron, which that time included the ironclads and , the coastal defense ship , and the protected cruiser . "Alger" took part in the fleet maneuvers in 1894; from 9 to 16 July, the ships involved took on supplies in Toulon for the maneuvers that began later on the 16th. A series of exercises included shooting practice, a blockade simulation, and scouting operations in the western Mediterranean. The maneuvers concluded on 3 August. "Alger" was sent with her sister ship on a cruise to French Indochina, departing in October 1895. She remained on station in the Far East in 1896, and returned to France in February 1897. After arriving home, she was assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron for the annual maneuvers that were conducted in July. "Alger" had been deactivated and placed in the reserve fleet by January 1901. The ship's activities in the mid-1900s are unclear; Thomas Brassey's "The Naval Annual" lists "Alger" among the vessels that took part in the fleet maneuvers in 1906, which began on 6 July with the concentration of the Northern and Mediterranean Squadrons in Algiers. The maneuvers were conducted in the western Mediterranean, alternating between ports in French North Africa and Toulon and Marseilles, France, and concluding on 4 August. But according to the historians John Jordan and Philippe Caresse, "Alger" had been reactivated in 1905 for another deployment to the Far East, along with the armored cruisers and , the protected cruiser , four gunboats, and five destroyers. "The Naval Annual" confirms that "Alger" was in service in the Far East by 1907, by which time the unit consisted of the large protected cruiser , "Bruix", the armored cruiser , and the smaller protected cruisers and , though the latter two vessels were detached from the main squadron to patrol the East Indies and Pacific, respectively. "Alger" remained in the Far East in 1908, along with "D'Entrecasteaux" and "Bruix". "Alger" was reduced to a hulk in 1911; she remained in the Navy's inventory until 1939, when she was broken up. French cruiser Isly Isly was a protected cruiser built in the late 1880s and early 1890s for the French Navy. The third member of the class, "Isly" and her sister ships were ordered during the tenure of Admiral Théophile Aube as Minister of Marine according to the theories of the doctrine. The ships were intended as long-range commerce raiders, and they were armed with a main battery of four guns, were protected by an armor deck that was thick, and were capable of steaming at a top speed of around . "Isly" initially served with the Reserve Division of the Northern Squadron, spending only part of the year in active service for training exercises. She was deployed to French Indochina from 1895 to 1896 and then again from 1897 to 1899. After returning to France, she joined the North Atlantic station, operating out of Brest. "Isly" spent the next decade serving in the Atlantic, changing units as the fleet was repeatedly reorganized; she also received new water-tube boilers in 1902. In 1908, she was briefly sent to French Morocco, and the following year she was converted into a depot ship for destroyers. She was struck from the naval register in 1914 and thereafter broken up.

All of these guns were placed in individual pivot mounts; the 164 mm guns were in sponsons located fore and aft, with two guns per broadside. Four of the 138 mm guns were in sponsons between the 164 mm guns, one was in an embrasure in the forecastle and the last was in a swivel mount on the stern. For close-range defense against torpedo boats, she carried a pair of 9-pounder guns, eight 3-pounder Hotchkiss guns, and eight Hotchkiss revolver cannon. She was also armed with five torpedo tubes in her hull above the waterline. Armor protection consisted of a curved armor deck that was thick, along with plating on the conning tower. "Isly" was laid down at the Arsenal de Brest in Brest, France in August 1887, the first member of her class to begin construction. She was launched on 23 June 1891 and was completed in 1893, the last member of her class to enter service. She completed her sea trials in May that year, during which she reached a top speed of using forced draft, though the test was conducted in poor weather that reduced the ship's speed by about half a knot. Later that year, she was assigned to the Reserve Division of the Northern Squadron, which that time included the ironclad , the coastal defense ships and , and the torpedo cruiser . The following year, she continued to operate with the squadron. She took part in annual training exercises that year to evaluate the effectiveness of the French coastal defense system. The squadron went to sea on 15 July and began the operations the next day, which lasted until 29 July. The maneuvers demonstrated the usefulness of torpedo boat flotillas in coastal defense, but highlighted that France's coastal defense system in the English Channel was not yet complete. "Isly" was sent with her sister ship on a cruise to French Indochina in 1895. She remained on station in the Far East into 1896, but was ordered home that year. In 1897, "Isly" returned to the Far East in company with the recently completed protected cruiser ; they joined the old ironclad and the unprotected cruiser . "Isly" had returned to France by 1899, when she was assigned to the North Atlantic station in Brest on 15 March. The ship was laid up in 1900 for an overhaul that included the replacement of her original wood decks with linoleum-covered steel. She remained out of service through early 1901 and was recommissioned on 8 April for service in the fisheries in the Atlantic. She was assigned to the Naval Division of the Atlantic Ocean, along with the protected cruisers and . "Isly" operated with the transport vessel "Manche", patrolling the fishing grounds off Newfoundland for six months of the year. The next year, "Isly" was decommissioned for a major overhaul, which included the installation of new water-tube boilers. In 1908, the Naval Division of the Atlantic was amalgamated with the Northern Squadron, and "Isly" was transferred to that command, commissioning for service on 1 January in Lorient. By that time, the squadron consisted of eight armored cruisers and four other protected cruisers. "Isly" was temporarily sent to French Morocco early in the year in company with the armored cruiser . In 1909, "Isly" was converted into a depot ship for destroyers and was likely condemned for disposal two years later. "Isly" was struck from the naval register in 1914 and subsequently sold to ship breakers for disposal. Tatyana Karelina Tatyana Karelina also written as Tatjana Karelina (Russian: Татьяна Карелина, 25 January 1916 in Perm Governorate - 5 February 2001 in Yekaterinburg) was a Soviet long track speed skater. In 1951 she broke the 3000m world record and the 5000 m world record. Karelina represented her nation four timeas at the World Allround Speed Skating Championships for Women in 1948 (finishing 7th), 1950 (finishing 6th), 1952 (finishing 6th) and 1953 (finishing 9th). She participated 13 times at the Soviet national allround championships between 1938 and 1954. She won the championships in 1939 and 1941 and won 5 other silver and bronze medals. Brigid Ganly Brigid Ganly HRHA (29 January 1909-25 March 2002), was an Irish painter and sculptor Brigid Ganly was born Rosaleen Brigid O'Brien on the 29 January 1909 in Dublin to Dermod O'Brien and his wife Mabel Smiley. She was one of five children. Her father was a painter. His grandfather was the Irish Republican William Smith O'Brien. Ganly grew up in Country Limerick at a farm in Cahirmoyle until the family moved to Fitzwilliam square in Dublin. Ganly went on to attend the Metropolitan School of Art where she had the opportunity to study under Patrick Tuohy, Seán Keating and Oliver Sheppard. Ganly was a talented sculptor and won several awards, including the Taylor scholarship in 1929, for her allegorical male nude, "Pity". Ganly spent time in Paris in 1951 where she trained with André Lhote. Ganly traveled to Greece where Lhote continued to influence her work. She also studied painting in the Royal Hibernian Academy School where she had Margaret Clarke and Seán O'Sullivan as teachers. She was made an associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1928 and Ganly became a member in 1935 though in 1969 she resigned her membership in protest at the lack of young artists being given the opportunity to exhibit. In 1972 she was made an honorary member and returned. Ganly was a representational artist and while known as a portrait artist, she also painted landscapes, interiors and may be best known for her still lifes. Some of her best works are portraits of her husband, her sister Ethel, her father, and her friend Sheila Pym. She illustrated the book-jackets of Sheila Pym's works. She had many exhibitions, with the RHA and the Water Colour Society of Ireland. There was a retrospective of her life in 1998 in Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery and her works are in the collections there. She is also in the collections of the Waterford Municipal Gallery, Crawford Art Gallery, Cork and in the National Self-Portrait Collection. Ganly was part of the 2014 exhibition 'Irish Women Artists: 1870-1970' Her sister in law was Kitty Wilmer O'Brien with whom she often exhibited. Ganly married Andrew Ganly a dental surgeon and writer in 1936. He died in 1982. They had two children, Eoghan and Phillida. Farkas Heller Farkas Heller (Budapest, May 9, 1877 – Budapest, September 29, 1955) was a Hungarian Economist, author and professor, member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His father, (1843–1902) Hungarian physicist, historian of science, member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, mother knight bleybach Bolberitz Georgina (1854–1920). Her little brother dr. (1880–1958) lawyer, university professor whose wife was a nobleman Irén Kiss (1887–1971). His wife, Paula Klasz (1891–1971), dr. She was the daughter of Pál Klasz, Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior He began his career at the Budapest Chamber of Commerce and Industry, then in 1902 he joined the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1907 he was a private teacher of trade and industrial policy at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Budapest, and then in 1914 the same economics and finance. he became a teacher. His scholarly works have been published in series, his work entitled "Economics" has been awarded the Strókay Prize by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and his work has even been published in Leipzig in German. He became a corresponding member (1921), then a member (1934) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 1949 he was expelled from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He was rehabilitated in 1989, Posthumous promotion regained his academic membership. „Heller Farkas has been significant in three areas: processing the development of economic theory, developing theoretical and applied economics (economic policy), and finance. After the liberation, all three areas had excellent and internationally recognized cultivators, but there was no researcher alone who could cultivate all three areas comprehensively. In his research and teaching work, Heller highlighted the following theoretical areas of economics: value, price, income distribution, money, foreign trade, and economic fluctuations. In the field of economic policy, he dealt with, inter alia, organizational, credit, trade, currency, transport and social policies.

Oman–United Arab Emirates border The Oman–United Arab Emirates border consists of three non-contiguous sections totalling 609 km (378 m) in length. The northern section of border divides the Omani exclave of Musandam from the UAE Emirates of Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah. This peninsula commands the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with the Oman-UAE border consisting of a series of irregular, though roughly horizontal, lines running through mountainous terrain, from the western Persian Gulf coast to the eastern Gulf of Oman coast. The middle section of the border consists of the Omani enclave of Madha, within which is the UAE counter-enclave of Nahwa, belonging to the Emirate of Sharjah. The southern, and by far the longest section, of the frontier starts in the north on the Oman Gulf coast, just south of Kalba in the Emirate of Sharjah. It then proceeds inland roughly south-westwards via a series of irregular lines, arcing southwards so as to include Hatta within the UAE; the border then proceeds roughly south-westwards down to the Omani tripoint, save for a piece of Emirati territory south-east of Al-Ain that juts into Oman. During the 19th century Britain had signed a number of protectorate treaties with seven emirates on what was then known as the 'Pirate Coast', giving rise to the so-called Trucial States. Britain also exercised protectorate control over Oman via its sultan. Boundaries in this part of Arabia remained indistinct; Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence in Arabia via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913-14, however these agreements were rendered null and void following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War. The enclaves of Madha and Nahwa appear to have arisen in the 1930s-40, following a dispute over the ownership of the area between Oman and the local emirs, which was settled by a vote amongst the village elders. The boundaries of the enclaves were fixed in 1969. In the 1950s Britain appointed Julian Walker to survey more precise boundaries between the Trucial States and Oman. However by the time of independence of the Trucial States (as the United Arab Emirates) in 1971, much of the border remained undemarcated, resulting in several disputes. The Ras Al Khaimah section of the boundary was settled in 1979 after a dispute arose in 1977-78 following the discovery of oil in the area. Relations between the two states warmed in the 1980s-90s, resulting in a border agreement for the southern section of the frontier in 1999, followed by a complete border delimitation ratified in Abu Dhabi on 22 June 2002. In 2002, the UAE announced that it was installing a fence along the UAE-Oman border (minus the Madha-Nahwa enclaves) in an effort to curb the flow of illegal migrants, illicit drugs and terrorists into the country. The barrier constructed is 12 foot barbed wire border fence. In 2003 Oman introduced an exit toll on crossing to the UAE border. In July 2004, Oman and the UAE jointly launched a three day coordinated crackdown in and around Al Buraimi and arrested approximately 1,000 illegal immigrants. There are two border crossings on the Musandam section of the border (Tibat and Dibba) and four on the main southern section (Hatta/Al Wajajah, Hilli, Jebel Hafeet and Khatmat Malaha). There are no border controls at the Madha-Nahwa enclaves. Ma On Shan Iron Mine The Ma On Shan Iron Mine () is a mine in the hills of Ma On Shan, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong, that was operated from 1906 to 1976. The nearby Ma On Shan Village accommodated the miners and their families. The Ma On Shan Iron Mine opened in 1906 as an opencast site run by the Hong Kong Iron Mining Co. Ltd., which was owned by Sir Paul Chater. In 1949, the mine was taken over by the Mutual Mining and Trade Company, which extended it underground in 1953. By 1959, mining had moved entirely underground. The mine ceased operation in 1976. The workforce of 400 was laid off. The government mining lease ended in 1981 and the mine closed subsequently. Historical operators of the mine: It has been suggested that the Ma On Shan Iron Mine could be repurposed as a storage location for compressed-air energy storage (CAES). Several sets of structures of the Ma On Shan Iron Mine were listed as historic monuments in April 2016: Exterior walls of 240 ML and 110 ML of Ma On Shan Iron Mine (Grade 2), Mineral Preparation Plant of Ma On Shan Iron Mine (Grade 3), Site Structures at Mining Settlement of Ma On Shan Iron Mine (Grade 3).

Mochlus paedocarinatus Lanza's writhing skink or Abyssinian writhing skink ("Mochlus paedocarinatus") is a species of skink found in Somalia and Ethiopia. Lohner Type M The Lohner M was a reconnaissance flying boat produced in Austria-Hungary during World War I. The Lohner M was a biplane flying boat with slightly backswept wings and the pilot and observer sat side-by-side in the cockpit. One version of the Type M, the "MkN", was designed as a mine-spotting plane. The Type Ms patrolled the Adriatic Sea from 1914 until spring 1915, but they were supplanted by the Lohner Type L. After 1915, the Type Ms were consigned to second-line duties, but remained in service until 1917.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on abortion in the United States Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-abortion government officials in several American states enacted or attempted to enact restrictions on abortion, characterizing it as a non-essential procedure that can be suspended during the medical emergency. The orders have led to several legal challenges and criticism by abortion-rights groups and several national medical organizations, including the American Medical Association. Legal challenges on behalf of abortion providers, many of which are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood, have successfully stopped some of the orders on a temporary basis, though bans in several states have not been challenged. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, many non-essential medical procedures were temporarily suspended to preserve medical resources like personal protective equipment (PPE). In the context of these orders, several Republican officials and anti-abortion advocates argued that abortion should be considered non-essential, leading to orders in multiple states explicitly prohibiting the procedure. Several medical organizations and human rights groups issued statements critical of the restrictions. The American Medical Association characterizing them as "exploiting this moment to ban or dramatically limit women's reproductive health care." The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Society of Family Planning, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine issued a joint statement that "abortion should not be categorized as [a procedure that can be delayed during the pandemic]. Abortion is an essential component of comprehensive health care. It is also a time-sensitive service for which a delay of several weeks, or in some cases days, may increase the risks or potentially make it completely inaccessible." Plan C, a website that provides information about online abortion pill vendors, noted that its traffic had doubled by March 23 and tripled by April 8. The publication "Jewish Currents" said that by mid-March its viewership for an article on how to induce an abortion was "off the charts". A March 2020 order by the State Health Officer required that "all elective dental and medical procedures shall be delayed". The Alabama Department of Public Health initially stated that abortion providers were not affected by this order. The order was amended in March 27 to ban any medical procedure except those which treat an "emergency medical condition", with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall clarifying that abortion clinics were not exempt. The American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama, representing Alabama abortion providers and clinics, challenged the order, requesting a temporary restraining order. On March 30, U.S. District Judge Myron Herbert Thompson granted the temporary restraining order, saying the attorney general's interpretation of the March 27 order was overly broad, potentially causing undue burden on abortion access. The restraining order was set to expire on April 13, 2020, with Thompson issuing a preliminary injunction on April 12 to maintain abortion access. The state lost an appeal on April 23, meaning that abortion services are still legal. In March, a mandate was issued to limit non-urgent medical procedures until after June 15. On April 6, the mandate was clarified to include surgical abortions. Specifically, no abortions could be performed "unless the life or physical health of the mother is endangered by continuation of the pregnancy during the period of postponement". However, on April 28, the ACLU reported that abortions were still happening in Alaska. The temporary ban issued in March only lasted for a week before it was replaced with a new order. The Arkansas Department of Health issued an order that all medical procedures that can be safely postponed should be rescheduled. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said that the order was inclusive of "any type of abortion that is not immediately medically necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother". Penalties for not following the order were not detailed, though Rutledge assured "decisive action". The state health department sent a cease and desist letter to one of the state's two abortion clinics for violating the order. On April 13, the ACLU sued the state of Arkansas, requesting that a district court block the ban on abortion services. A federal judge temporarily blocked the state's ban, but on April 22, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit overturned the decision and ruled that the state could restrict most surgical abortions. The prohibition on medication abortions was overturned. On April 27, an order by the Arkansas Department of Health went into effect that stated all people seeking an elective surgery, including abortion, must test negative for COVID-19 in the 48 hours before the procedure. On May 1, the ACLU filed another lawsuit against the state, saying that some women cannot easily access testing and thus the order deprives them of their right to have an abortion. On May 7, federal judge Brian Stacy Miller rejected the ACLU's motion, calling the decision "agonizingly difficult", but saying that the restriction of individual liberties could be justified during a worldwide health crisis. In March, Indiana governor Eric Holcomb signed an executive order prohibiting elective medical procedures, including abortions. The order went into effect April 1. The order was unclear on whether or not surgical abortions were still permissible. As of April 23, no legal challenges had been filed against Indiana's abortion ban. Governor Kim Reynolds included abortion as a nonessential medical procedure and temporarily banned it in response to the pandemic. Abortion providers filed a petition requesting an emergency injunction against the order, arguing that it violated women's rights under the state Constitution and "severely jeopardizes their health, safety and welfare." Iowa Solicitor General Jeffrey Thompson responded to the petition by clarifying that the order was not a blanket ban but would take medical factors into consideration, including the timing of the pregnancy. The providers withdrew the petition based on his explanation. Planned Parenthood announced that it "will resume seeing patients for in-clinic procedures, in compliance with Gov. Kim Reynolds' proclamation", while Reynolds was said to be "pleased that her proclamation remains in full effect and that surgical abortions will not be exempted from this suspension of non-essential and elective surgeries". In March, the Louisiana Department of Health issued a directive to limit non-emergency medical procedures, though abortions were not specifically mentioned. In early April, state Attorney General Jeff Landry began an investigation to determine if the state's three abortion clinics were complying with the order. On April 14, Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and the American Civil Liberties Union brought a federal lawsuit in an attempt to block Louisiana's statewide ban. The Department of Health directive has no set expiration date. In March, a Mississippi directive to temporarily ban elective, non-essential medical procedures went into effect. Governor Tate Reeves said he would enact "whatever action we need to protect the not only the lives of unborn children, but also the lives of anyone who may contract this particular virus". The Center for Reproductive Rights confirmed that Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the lone abortion clinic in Mississippi, was still open and performing procedures. On March 17, Amy Acton, Director of the Ohio Department of Health, issued an order prohibiting nonessential surgeries to preserve personal protective equipment. Governor Mike DeWine said abortions should not be performed during the pandemic except when the pregnant person's life is at risk. Attorney General Dave Yost and Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Fulkerson sent letters to abortion clinics instructing them to "immediately stop performing non-essential and elective surgical abortions", defined as "those that can be delayed without undue risk to the current or future health of a patient". Two Planned Parenthood clinics responded to the letters with a statement saying they were following the order, describing surgical abortions as necessary procedures still allowed under the emergency rules. The state's abortion providers challenged the order, represented by attorneys from the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU of Ohio, and Gerhardstein & Branch Co. Planned Parenthood filed a motion for a temporary restraining order, which was granted by US District Court Judge Michael Barrett on April 1 for 14 days. In his ruling, he said that the patient's doctor and not state government should determine whether or not an abortion is essential, and that the state failed to prove that banning surgical abortions would "result in any beneficial amount of net saving of [PPE] in Ohio such that the net saving of PPE outweighs the harm of eliminating abortion". Amicus briefs were filed by the Republican Attorneys General of fifteen states, including neighboring Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia, in support of Ohio's efforts to restrict abortion during the pandemic. Yost appealed Barrett's decision, clarifying in a court filing on behalf of the Ohio Department of Health that the order does allow medical abortion, and that "doctors remain free to perform surgical abortions necessary for a mother's health or life, and also surgical abortions that cannot be delayed without jeopardizing the patient's abortion rights." Barrett declined a request by the State of Ohio to put a hold on his order pending an appeals court decision. On April 6, the State's request for an appeal was dismissed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On April 23, Barrett issued another preliminary injunction saying that surgical abortions could proceed if a provider determines that delaying the procedure would cause the pregnancy to become viable, and thus prevent access to an abortion. Ohio law prohibits abortion past the twenty-second week of gestation. In March, Governor Kevin Stitt signed an executive order to limit elective medical procedures, later confirming that all types of abortion services were included, except for those necessary in a medical emergency or to "prevent serious health risks" to the pregnant person. On April 6, federal judge Charles Barnes Goodwin blocked the executive order, ruling that the state acted in an arbitrary, unreasonable, and oppressive way, which posed an undue burden on abortion access in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Department of Health’s news release "Issues Guidance for Resuming Elective Surgical Procedures in Oklahoma April 24" states that patients should receive a negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours of the scheduled elective procedure. On March 23, Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order to prohibit non-essential medical procedures until April 13. Lee's spokesperson Gillum Ferguson said, "Gov. Lee believes elective abortions aren’t essential procedures and given the state of PPE in Tennessee and across the country his hope and expectation would be that those procedures not take place during this crisis." The executive order did not specifically name abortion as a non-essential medical procedure, and no penalties were specified for failure to comply with the order. Lee signed another executive order on April 8, which abortion clinics said effectively banned surgical abortions. Tennessee abortion providers stated that the order was unconstitutional and added their claim to an existing federal lawsuit. The state's abortion clinics are represented by the American Civil Liberties Foundation of Tennessee, Barrett Johnston Martin & Garrison LLC, Jessee & Jessee, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Lee's executive order is scheduled to end on April 30. The ban was overturned on April 17 by district judge Bernard A. Friedman, who said that the state did not indicate that any significant amount of PPE would be preserved by banning abortions. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order on March 22 that temporarily banned elective medical procedures. Attorney General Ken Paxton warned on March 23 that all abortions were now prohibited, except those necessary to "preserve the life or health" of the pregnant person. Those found in violation of the ban could be fined up to $1,000, jailed for 180 days, and have their medical license revoked. Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and The Lawyering Project challenged the order on behalf of the state's abortion providers. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled in favor of the clinics on March 26, saying that the temporary ban on abortions "prevents Texas women from exercising what the Supreme Court has declared is their fundamental constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy before a fetus is viable". This ruling was overturned on March 31, 2020, when the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit allowed Texas to reinstate the ban. On April 11, the state's abortion providers asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and stop the ban. On April 13, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit walked back part of its prior decision, determining that medication abortions were allowable. This was reversed once more on April 20, when the Fifth Circuit once again said that the state could block access to medication abortions. The executive order blocking procedures that are not immediately medically necessary expired April 21. On April 22, the state announced that surgical and medication abortions could resume. Governor Jim Justice signed an executive order temporarily barring elective medical procedures. On April 2, state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey stated that the order included abortions, and implied legal consequence's against the state's lone clinic if abortions proceeded. On April 25, a lawsuit was filed by the ACLU, ACLU of West Virginia, and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr on behalf of Women's Health Center of West Virginia in an attempt to block the temporary abortion ban. Mochlus pembanus The Pemba Island writhing skink ("Mochlus pembanus") is a species of skink found in Tanzania and Kenya. Ferulic acid decarboxylase Ferulic acid decarboxylases (Fdc) are decarboxylase enzymes capable of the reversible decarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids such as ferulic acid and cinnamic acid. Fdc's are fungal homologues of the "E.coli" UbiD enzyme which is involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis. This places Fdc within the wider UbiD enzyme family, representing a distinct clade within the family Presence of "fdc1" and the associated "pad1" genes (Pad1 homologous to UbiX in "E.coli") were shown to be required for the decarboxylation of phenylacrylic acids in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae". In 2015 the cofactor prFMN was discovered in the active site of Fdc1 from "Aspergillus niger" (AnFdc) by crystallography, prior to this genetic studies had lead to the assumption that both UbiD and UbiX encoded isofunctional decarboxylases. In actuality UbiX/Pad were found to be flavin preyltransferases supplying the prFMN cofactor to UbiD/Fdc where it is utilised for the reversible decarboxylation of alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acid substrates. Since the discovery of prFMN AnFDC has become the most well understood representative of the UbiD enzyme family In the same paper in which the structure of prFMN was deduced in the active site of AnFdc1 there was a proposal for the mechanism by which Fdc1 decarboxylates α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Not all UbiD enzymes decarboxylate acrylic acid substrates and other mechanisms may be at play for alternative substrates. In the case of AnFdc1 it was noted that prFMN displays an azomethine ylide characteristic C4a-N5+=C1’(Figure 1). This is a well-known 1,3-dipole in organic chemistry, positioned in the enzyme active site near to the α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid substrate which contains a 1,3-dipolarophile. Thus, it was proposed that a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition mechanism was responsible for the enzymatic decarboxylation. This was confirmed in a later paper The mechanism proposed in for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition by Fdc1 is as follows (intermediates represented in Figure 1): A study went on to present evidence for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, due to suspected turnover of cinnamic acid a crystal structure of AnFdc1 in complex with α-fluorocinnamic acid revealed the substrate Cα and Cβ carbons are located directly above the prFMNiminium C1’ and C4a respectively (shown as Sub in Figure 1 - with cinnamic acid as opposed to α-fluorocinnamic acid). Cinnamic acid was confirmed to bind in a similar manner using inactive AnFdc1 crystals containing FMN. The AnFdc1 E282Q mutant crystallised with cinnamic acid revealed a structure corresponding to the Int2 species, this was taken to mean that progression through the 1,3-dipolarcycloadition cycle was halted as E282 is unable to donate a proton to the alkene moiety. In order to observe the Int1 and Int3 structures alkyne analogues were used. Like alkenes these compounds can also act as dipolarophiles but cycloaddition would yield a cycloadduct containing a double bond. An inactive AnFdc1 enzyme (with prFMNradical bound) co-crystallised with the phenylpropiolic acid revealed binding in a similar manner to the α-fluorocinnamic acid AnFdc1 and cinnamic acid AnFdc1 with FMN bound (Inhib). An active AnFdc1 enzyme co-crystallised with phenylpropiolic acid revealed clear density for a 3-pyrroline cycloadduct (Int3’) between the alkyne and prFMNiminium. Int3’ represents a structure post decarboxylation, so it was assumed that over the time it took for crystallisation (~24h) the decarboxylation had occurred. Using a rapid soaking procedure, a different cycloadduct was observed that retained the carboxyl moiety (Int1’). 1998 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group I The Asia/Oceania Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 1998. In the Asia/Oceania Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier.

Zitterbart was born in Pittsburgh in 1845. His father, Fidelis Zitterbart Sr. had emigrated from Austria, and was a career violinist and conductor, who taught his son music from an early age. At the age of 16 the young Zitterbart went abroad to Dresden, where he studied with Francois Schubert and , to complete his musical studies there. Upon his return to the US, he worked as a violinist and violist in NY until 1873 when he returned to Pittsburgh and took a teaching position at the Andrew Williams American Conservatory of Music until the closure of the Conservatory compelled him to start his own music school, the Zitterbart Conservatory. In 1868 he married Catherine Riedl of Worcester, MA (1850-1913) and together they had 4 children. His father, who had composed as well, tore up his compositions upon seeing that the compositions of his son outshone his own. Zitterbart composed more than a thousand compositions, nearly all of them remained unpublished during his lifetime. In 1930, his son Ralph Zitterbart donated the manuscripts to the University of Pittsburgh following suggestions from Dr. Theodore M. Finney, a musicologist and Dr. Alexander Silverman, a chemist who had studied violin with Zitterbart. The digitized collection is available online. His compositions included several large-scale works, including "symphonies, concertos, operas, sonatas, 125 string quartets (plus 100 earlier quartets he had thrown away) and dozens of overtures, particularly on Shakespearean themes - "Macbeth", "Iago" and "Richard III"". He also composed several works for viola, including, in 1875, the first known American viola sonata, and another 12 more after that. Wikipedia's list of compositions for viola has a .

Sam Hopkins (artist) Sam Hopkins (b. 1979, Rome) is an artist whose work is rooted in Kenya.. His practice is characterised by modes of working together, such as collaboration, participation and co-production. Hopkins’ artworks, which tend to be project-based and involve people as the medium and the material of the work, can be described as Social Practice. In 2014 he was named one of the leading 100 Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy Magazine. Hopkins was raised in Britain and Kenya and holds degrees from the University of Edinburgh (MA), Oxford Brookes University (MA) and the University of the Arts London (PhD). He currently works as an Artist Researcher at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne. Sam Hopkins - official website Federation of Education, Research and Culture The Federation of Education, Research and Culture (, FERC) is a trade union representing workers in education and related industries, in France. Until 1948, the Federation for National Education (FEN) was the affiliate of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) representing education staff. When the FEN chose to become independent, 39% of its members voted to remain affiliated to the CGT. As a result, the FEN decided to permit dual affiliation. The affiliated which opted for dual affiliations with the CGT, plus two unions which decided to remain entirely with the CGT, then formed a CGT Federation of Education. By 1949, the federation had 14,000 members, but in 1954, under the influence of the French Communist Party, it decided to campaign against dual affiliation, in the hope that this would encourage more teachers to fully commit to the federation. This almost caused the collapse of the federation, with its general secretary resigning, and the secretariat ceasing to meet. It was relaunched in 1959, and then grew steadily, membership peaking at 60,000 in 1979. That year, in the hope of encouraging education workers other than teachers to join, it was renamed as the "Federation of Education, Research and Culture". Membership fell during the 1980s, in line with that of the CGT as a whole, and by 1994, it stood at 23,314. It has since stabilised, and was 25,258 in 2019. Peter Dale (Derbyshire) Peter Dale is a short dry crag-sided valley near Buxton, Derbyshire, in the Peak District of England. There is a farmland plateau on either side. The northern end of the valley leads into Hay Dale at Dale Head and the foot of the valley leads into Monk's Dale. Hay Dale and Monk's Dale are both part of the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve managed by Natural England. The Carboniferous limestone rocks of all these dales were formed 350 million years ago from the shells and sediments of a tropical sea. The landscape was then sculpted by the ice sheets from the last Ice Age 20,000 years ago. The walking along the flat valley floor is easy except for a couple of short rock-strewn sections. The Limestone Way and the Peak District Boundary Walk long-distance footpaths runs along the length of the gentle valley floor. The Pennine Bridleway runs across the southern end and then parallel to the dale about 1km to the east (through the hamlet of Wheston). Where the Limestone Way crosses the A623 road (about 1 km north of Hay Dale), the route of the old Batham Gate Roman road runs east–west. Peter Dale's limestone cliffs are well-suited to rock climbing, with 25 graded routes on Main Crag. Access into Peter Dale from the south can be made from the hamlet of Wormhill along the Pennine Bridleway. From the North there is a footpath from the village of Peak Forest (on the A623 road) through Dam Dale and Hay Dale. 2004–05 Kilmarnock F.C. season The 2004–05 season was Kilmarnock's sixth consecutive season in the Scottish Premier League, having competed in it since its inauguration in 1998–99.

They reached the third round of the League Cup, losing to Hearts and the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, also losing to Hearts. Ingeborg Brun Ingeborg Brun (27 June 1872–19 May 1929) was a Danish amateur astronomer, socialist and writer and best known for her hand-painted globes depicting the surface of Mars. Although she made only a small number of them, Brun's museum-owned globes (called manuscript globes) "deserve special mention for their beauty and detailed rendering of the supposed Martian canals." Emmy Ingeborg Brun, more commonly known as Ingeborg Brun, was born in 1872 in Copenhagen, Denmark. She was the daughter of a court hunter Alexander Brun and his third wife Louise (born Wolff) and had two older brothers, Carl Frederik Emil Brun (born 1865) and Alf Harald Brun (born 1866). Brun spent nine years in a mental institution. According to her diary, her brother Alf had her put there and only after nine years did she succeed, with the help of friends, to attest that she was not insane and able to return to society in 1910. However, by that time, at about 38 years of age, she was physically ill and remained confined to her bed for the rest of her life. Although Brun lacked formal astronomical training and did not have a telescope or binoculars, she was an enthusiastic researcher. By extensively reading the works of contemporary astronomers, she taught herself about the skies and philosophy. Of special note were the books about Mars by American Percival Lowell (1855–1916) and the Martian observations of Italian Giovanni Schiaparelli, as well as the socialist ideas of American political scientist Henry George, who hoped that Mars could be the ideal place for a new, free society. Milanese astronomer Schiaparelli first observed a network of dark lines on the surface of Mars in 1855 and had suggested that they were artificial canals, which turned out to be optical illusions. When he published his findings, along with the first detailed modern map of Mars, he named them "canali," and suggested that they were built by a socialist regime as a planet-wide system without any national boundaries. His conjectures were supported by Lowell's observations of the planet from his observatory (now Lowell Observatory) in Flagstaff, Arizona. Lowell claimed the canals showed evidence of life on the planet and Brun became intrigued by these “canals.” From 1905 to 1909, apparently during her institutionalization, Brun adapted Lowell's maps into "manuscript globes," painting Martian worlds over existing globes of Earth. Brun was intrigued by Lowell’s vision of the planet’s infrastructure, which she thought was evidence of a radically different cooperative Martian social order. Therefore, her globes overlay Lowell's territorial observations with Schiaperelli's nomenclature for the planet's features, most of which are no longer used. Each globe is unique. Brun’s typical globe was made using paper mache to cover the preprinted surface of a globe, which she then hand-colored and inked. As she painted the planet's features, carefully transcribing Lowell's maps, she incorporated imagined oases and areas of seasonal vegetation named and connected by a series of canals. The wood or bronze base of some globes were inscribed with text similar to: "Mars efter Lowekks Glober 1894-1914". One had a diameter of 20 cm (about 7.8 inches), height of 38-40 cm (about 15 inches). Another had a diameter of 14 cm (5 1/2 inches), and a height of 29 cm (about 11 inches). Notably, Brun's Mars globes were built with the south pole at the top of the axis and the north pole at the bottom. This inverted view corresponds to the way Mars was viewed from Earth's northern hemisphere using an astronomical telescope. Brun donated globes to several astronomers, astronomical observatories and institutions. She sent one to Lowell himself in 1915, who replied warmly that it was "a capital piece of work," although, he said, it was initially stopped at customs because the officers there mistook it for a bomb. Fewer than ten of Brun's globes have been identified. One example appeared at auction at Bonham's New York on 5 December 2012, selling for $50,000 (Lot 129). Brun's globes have been located at these institutions: Brun remained bedridden until her death on 19 May 1929 at her house at Svendborg. The House Between the Worlds The House Between the Worlds is a novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley published in 1981. "The House Between the Worlds" is a novel in which graduate student Fenton experiments with drugs to trigger paranormal events. Greg Costikyan reviewed "The House Between the Worlds" in "Ares Magazine" #11 and commented that ""The House Between Worlds" is a pleasant fantasy with more action than is usual in a Bradley novel. Since Bradley stopped writing Darkover stories, her writing has suffered; she hasn't been able to develop a theme as interesting as Darkover. In "House", she's discovered her voice again. It is recommended." Surdism = Surdism = In 2009, the Surdism Manifesto was created by the French DeafBlind artist and activist named Arnaud Balard. Similarly to De'VIA, visual art unique to the Deaf experience expands to other mediums of cultural expression such as: film, theater, and literature. This also is non exclusive to the those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and can include hearing artist as long as the art shows the Deaf experience. Arnaud Balard is a Deafblind artist. Born in 1970, Balard was the only member of his family who was deaf. He went to school using the oral tradition, and when he turned the age of 9, he had been completely put into a mainstream school and continued this platform of education until he graduated high school. After this, he decided to go to a university in Paris with a deaf program; here is where he learned sign language and his "identity started to grow and continue during [his] time there." Within this program, he found his passion for art and found his identity as a Deaf Artist. He knew that he did not fit in with the Hearing Artist community. He wanted to establish his own Deaf art identity, but when he started Balard was keeping the art to himself and not showing it to the world. When he had learned about De'Via, and the concepts of Audism and Deafhood had been exposed to him, he knew he had "identified something" and "things started to come together". This was the "crystallization [he] had been looking for". Balard started showing his work to the public after this realization. In May 2009, at the Festival de National in Rennes, France, he exhibit his work publicly in a booklet. That same year he published the Surdism Manifesto. The Surdist Manifesto reads as follows:"Surdism is an artistic, philosophical and cultural movement initiated by Arnaud Balard. This movement offers a renewed and strengthened affirmation of Deaf culture. A manifesto was written and published by Arnaud Balard in 2009, which defines the philosophy targeted by this groundbreaking project of cultural expression. Reputedly “invisible”, the Deaf* community paradoxically offers a visual and linguistic culture ready to be seen and shared. And artists have this specific advantage of being able to give life to this identity originality. They support, narrate and reveal this culture of signs, this very particular experience of being Deaf in a world which is not. Concretely, the movement of Surdism offers a shared name under which each one can individually exist and assert oneself. If an artist creates alone, he can easily be thought of as isolated and be said to represent no one except himself. When several artists opt for the approach which consists in getting united under a single movement, they gain – each one individually – credibility and visibility. And through a snowball effect, they provoke another perception of the Deaf community they claim they belong to. The goal is clearly to gather all the artists (sculpture, painting, photography, literature, signed poetry, cinema, theater, installations, videos...) who are willing to, in order to strengthen the focus on the existence of the Deaf world. Through exchanges and exhibitions on Deaf cultural, philosophical and artistic topics (experiences, history, politics, language, audism, deafhood...), surdism offers to consolidate the emergence of Deaf artists. It is important to understand that there are very few ways to save records of history, values and traditions of the Deaf culture. Art is one of these ways. By naming Deaf art, we give it life and we define it. A legitimate, strong, unique act which conveys the idea of belonging to the world. Naming oneself means purely and solely to exist. Surdism therefore aims to be a powerful act of emancipation, and to support an improved mutual recognition of Deaf creation. () = by Deaf we mean any person who is included into the Deaf community. This term encompasses and connects people who master sign language, who share the fundamental values which consolidate the community. Thus, it does not refer to audiograms. Arnaud Balard artist august 2012 MANIFESTO OF SURDISM We, Deaf, turn down any discrimination created by the exclusive and oppressive socio-medical vision - called AUDISM -, from which springs imprisonment, depreciation and denial of our identity. Indeed, if audists consider being deaf as an infirmity, a suffering to be looked after and cured, a sensory lack to repair, and think it is necessary to act very precociously on this impairment, we, Deaf, do not perceive it this way, and wish to express it vigorously but proudly. This manifesto is a vibrating appeal to express once again that we are Deaf, yes, but not disabled people. We don't want to be seen through this single frame of reparation, which mentally and intellectually alienates us by summarizing us with a mere stereotype of hearing impaired individual. To be able to stand up for ourselves as “other” but certainly not “less”, we must oppose this reductive trend of thought. Together, we must mobilize to restore, to its right social, political and public place, being Deaf. Being Deaf is a relationship, it implies an exchange between two people, and it reveals an unshared communication. It is only that, at the beginning. No one is deaf alone, one is in relation to the other. And it is the vision from the other that the most urgently needs to be fixed. MANIFESTO OF SURDISM Surdism is an artistic, philosophical and cultural movement which aims to carry militant values against the still lingering obscurantism which make us prisoners, we Deaf, of judgements, and above all of a destiny, on which we don’t really have the right to sign. Surdism is thus a revendication and a signing out in public space, and to get its aim, it must be clearly written, read, signed and shared in order to exist. This is why this manifesto conveys with visibility this act of emancipation which refutes audism and its dominant and censuring point of view. It is a Deaf intellectual and artistic movement through which we signify: - We, surdists, offer to express ourselves by literature, theater, cinema, painting, sculpture or any other form of expression, by exploring anything which concerns, in one way or another, being Deaf, Deafhood, Deaf people and their position in social space. - We claim that our movement carries creativity, inclusion, complementarity and mutual enrichment. - We will artistically mobilize in order to create a frame of mind of Deafhood – which intends to be an enlightened attitude that anyone can share. MANIFESTO OF SURDISM As long as the linguistic specificity is acknowledged and accepted for its true worth, and as long as the values of exchange, respect, communication and equality are shared. We want therefore surdism to create and sharpen a Deafhood in other people; let it be a bridge between you and us, a walkway that each one can cross freely. - We support and mobilize ourselves through our artistic means, unambiguously, to carve a space for the Deaf community's linguistic and sociocultural specificity. - We stand up for artistic expression about, of and through Sign Language as a link of social union, and not as a linguistic and cultural division. - We pay tribute to those who openly and publicly supported and carried our potential, despite of and against obstacles, through Deaf History. Well-known or obscure, they carried up the faith of surdism to us, even though they did not name it explicitly. It is incumbent to us to redefine it, to connect to each other, and to work to make our social place visible and real. Surdism wants to be an international collective movement which carries a positive, constructive, militant and inclusive philosophy. You people who share these values, do join us ! Let's denounce the prejudices, let's stimulate our creativity and call in a new Community force in the spirit of universality, beyond our national borders. Fellow members, express ourselves through surdism !" The word Surdism comes from the Latin word "surdus" meaning "deaf", unresponsive to what is said," or "falling on deaf ears". "Ism" comes from the "ideas and movements humans have engaged in to show their values, whether it is positive or negative." This also is defined as " practice, system, doctrine". Nancy Rourke, Deaf Artist and Artivist, has published multiple painting portraying the importance of Sudism. One of her most popular pieces is called Surdism-De’VIA Journey (2016). This piece of work was updated to include the second wave of De'Via, Surdism. Rourke updated the painting the include the following in the white swirls: "SECOND WAVE OF De'VIA, WHAT IS SURDISM?, SOCIAL CHANGE, ARTIVISM, TRUTH BE TOLD, DEAF EXPERIENCE, COLLABORATION, FLY, FLY, SOAR, SOAR, and PAH!"

"Their Majesties' Bucketeers" is a novel in which Offe Woom investigates the death of a professor on a world inhabited by trisexual tripedal aliens. Greg Costikyan reviewed "Their Majesties' Bucketeers" in "Ares Magazine" #11 and commented that ""Bucketeers" is an appealing novel, for three reasons: first, the character of the aliens, who are very human while remaining very alien; second, the Victorian character of their civilization, and third, the apparent verve and enjoyment with which Smith writes." Jisr el-Majami Jisr el-Majami or Jisr al-Mujamieh (, and , "Gesher", lit. "Bridge") is an ancient stone bridge, possibly of Roman origin, over the Jordan River on the border between Israel and Jordan. The name is derived from the bridge's location south of the confluence of the Yarmouk and Jordan rivers. The bridge is long, with one main arch through which the water normally flows. In addition it has six smaller arches, higher up in a second row, presumably to help the flow during flooding of the river. The main arch is the only one which has a permanent flow of water. The bridge has voussoirs throughout its vault, differing from well known Mamluk bridges such as the Daughters of Jacob Bridge, Yibna Bridge and Jisr Jindas, which use small stones in the vault of their arches. The bridge shows at least two major phases of construction; a possibly Roman-origin lower level and the upper pointed arches likely from the medieval period. Some sources state that the bridge was built in Roman times, and others that it was built in the Middle Ages. A 1925 letter written by the Palestine Department of Antiquities wrote that the bridge was first built in Roman times. This is supported by a Roman milestone discovered nearby, which given the scarcity of other local structures makes it likely that a Roman river crossing existed at the point. Al-Muqaddasi (c. 945/946 - 991), described "beyond the lower end of the Lake of Tiberias is a great bridge, over which lies the road to Damascus", however, Andrew Petersen believes that Al-Muqaddasi may have been referring to Jisr es-Sidd, further north (by Um al-Junah, near modern-day Degania Bet). The bridge underwent at least two major repairs during medieval times, by Usama al-Halabi during the reign of Saladin (1174–93), and one by a "Jamal ad-Din" in 1266–67. Shihab al-Umari, writing in the mid 1300s, wrote of a renovated stop en route from Beisan to Irbid called Jisr al Mujami, also knows as Jisr Usama, after Saladin's emir who repaired it. A manuscript in the Bibliothèque nationale de France states that it was built by Mamluk sultan Barquq (r. 1380s–90s). An epitaph of a Muslim from Bitlis who drowned at Jisr al Majami in October 1308 has been found under the Ottoman floor in the khan. A map from Napoleon's invasion of 1799 by Pierre Jacotin showed the bridge, named as "Pont de Magama", and the adjacent Khan, marked "Caravanserail". James Finn wrote in 1868 that the bridge was "in tolerably good condition, with one large and several smaller arches in two rows, and a dilapidated khan at the western end... The khan has been a strong edifice, but the stones of the massive gateway, especially the great keystone, are split across, as if from the effects of gunpowder." Finn noted a story of "the wandering minstrels, even now among the Bedaween, sing the songs of the forty orphan youths who competed in poetic compositions under the influence of love for an Arab maiden at the bridge of Mejama'a." The PEF's "Survey of Western Palestine" (SWP) noted that the name was related to the "Bridge of the Gatherer", which became the As-Sirāt. The bridge played a strategic role in World War I; it was captured by the 19th Lancers during the Capture of Afulah and Beisan. When the Rutenberg concession was given, it was defined as the area around Jisr Majami. The bridge was spared during the 1946 Night of the Bridges, but was damaged during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, primarily caused by the explosion of mines placed on the parallel 1920s road bridge. The bridge was renovated in 2014 by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities together with the Jordanian Department of Antiquities and the Israel Antiquities Authority. A railway bridge was built parallel to it in the early 20th century to carry to Jezreel Valley railway, opened in 1905, and a road bridge was built in the early 1920s. At below sea-level, it was the lowest point ever reached by railway anywhere in the world. Around 1365 a khan (caravanserai) was built at Jisr al Majami. In 1849, William F. Lynch described the ruins of the khan as “A ruined khan crowned the crest of the hill, at the foot of which large masses of volcanic rock or tufa were lying about, as if shaken from the solid mass by the spasm of an earthquake. The khan had evidently been a solid structure and destroyed by some convulsion, so scattered were the thick and ponderous masses of masonry.” In 1875 Victor Guérin visited, and noted the remains of the deserted khan. The khan was two stories high, built around a courtyard. It was built of basalt stones, with the gates done in the ablaq style; alternating white and black stones. The khan had only one entry. Not far from the khan Guérin noted the ancient bridge, with a central arch being much larger than the side-arches. In 1882 the Palestine Exploration Fund's "Survey of Western Palestine" (SWP) described a "ruined Khan, or 'hostel', a large square building with vaults beneath, still in a good state of preservation." A small settlement in the caravanserai existed until the early 20th century, in the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Jisr al Majami had a population of 121; 112 Muslims, 4 Jews and 5 Christians, where all the Christians were of the Orthodox faith. Following the building of the First Jordan Hydro-Electric Power House, the population had totally changed in the 1931 census to a total of 320; 3 Muslim, 316 Jewish and 3 Christian, in a total of in 43 houses. Some of these building were inside the khan itself. 13 August 1939, at the end of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, a fortified "wall and tower" settlement was established, known as Kibbutz Gesher. In the 1945 statistics Jisr al Majami had 250 inhabitants; 230 Jews, 10 Muslims and 10 Christians, and the total land area was 458 dunams. A total of 15 dunams were used for citrus and bananas, 274 dunums were used for cereals, while 169 dunams were classified as uncultivable land. The area was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and rebuilt approximately west in what is now Gesher, Israel. The Jews of Silence The Jews of Silence: A Personal Report on Soviet Jewry is a 1966 non-fiction book by Elie Wiesel. The book is based on his travels to the Soviet Union during the 1965 High Holidays to report on the condition of Soviet Jewry. The work "called attention to Jews who were being persecuted for their religion and yet barred from emigrating." For two weeks in September 1965 during the Jewish High Holidays, Wiesel visited five cities in the Soviet Union to learn about the condition of Soviet Jewry in the post-Stalin era. Wiesel "concludes that despite the remorseless propaganda and harsh exactions of the government, soviet Jews still feel they share in the purpose and destiny of the Jewish people." At the end of the work, Wiesel elucidates the meaning of the book's title with his admonition of world Jewry's lack of advocacy on behalf of their Soviet coreligionists: "What torments me most is not the Jews of silence I met in Russia, but the silence of the Jews I live among today." In 1966, excerpts from the book were published in "L'Express" and "The Saturday Evening Post". The original edition had a 34-page "Historical Afterword on Soviet Jewry", written by the book's translator Neal Kozodoy. In "The New York Times", Isaac Bashevis Singer praised the book as "one passionate outcry, both in content and style." In "Commentary", Max Hayward wrote, "after reading this book nobody will be able to deny that the state of Russian Jewry remains a legitimate cause for concern in the outside world." According to Glenn Richter, the former national coordinator of the American organization Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, "The Jews of Silence" helped galvanize the Soviet Jewry Movement. "The Jews of Hope", a 1985 book by Martin Gilbert, was described as the spiritual successor to "The Jews of Silence". A 2001 conference in Moscow entitled "From the Jews of Silence to the Jews of Triumph" discussed the triumph of the movement with the term "Jews of silence" used "to describe the state of affairs prior to the emergence of [the] movement".

In its inaugural varsity season the team was coached by Steve Cady and played at the newly opened Miami Ice Arena. Miami's ice hockey program was promoted to varsity status in the summer of 1978. In their first season the Redskins remained in the Mid–Central Collegiate Hockey Association, a small collection of local club teams, mainly so it could field a full schedule. Miami was also able to schedule 10 games against Division I opponents that would take place throughout the season. After an initial win over Cincinnati, Miami was beaten soundly in four consecutive games. The losses were against the top-tier squads which was a trend that would continue throughout the season. Miami finished the regular season with a very good 12–3–1 record in conference, but lost all 10 games against the D-I teams. Miami's up and down year came to an end with the MCCHA tournament, with the entire championship being played in its home arena. The Redskins took advantage of the opportunity and routed Eastern Michigan before shutting out Michigan–Dearborn to claim the championship.

Dmitry Dashkov Dmitry Vasilyevich Dashkov (January 5, 1789 – December 8, 1839) was a Russian writer and dignitary, founder of the literary society "Arzamas". In the last ten years of his life, since 1832, he headed the Ministry of Justice as Minister. Dashkov was the son of the Ryazan landowner Vasily Andreyevich Dashkov (1749–1802), leader of the nobility of the Spassky district. He was educated at home before joining the Moscow State University, where he earned two silver medals and saw his name commemorated in gold letters on a marble plaque. In October 1801, he joined the Moscow archive of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, where he became friends with Dmitry Bludov. In 1810, when Ivan Dmitriev was appointed the Minister of Justice, Dashkov went to serve in Saint Petersburg under the Ministry of Justice. On July 14, 1818, with the rank of State Adviser, he was appointed the second adviser to the Russian embassy in Constantinople under the control of Count Kapodistrias. Recalled on January 3, 1820, from his post at the Embassy of Constantinople, Dashkov, on behalf of the Minister, was engaged in the review and bringing into proper position of the Russian consulates in the Levant. In 1822, he was appointed manager of the Constantinople mission, and the following year he was appointed a member of the Council of the Drafting Law Commission, with the preservation of his position in the department of a Foreign Collegium. With the accession of Nicholas I of Russia to the throne, begins the rapid rise of Dashkov, partly due to friendship with Bludov. At the end of 1826, Dashkov received the title of Secretary of State and was appointed assistant minister of the interior. In 1828, he received the Order of Saint Anna of the 1st class and was appointed to follow Nicholas I into the main apartment of the active army. Upon returning from there, on March 26, 1829, he was appointed fellow Minister of Justice and awarded the rank of Privy Councillor. On April 24 of the same year, Dashkov was ordered to be in charge of the spiritual affairs of foreign confessions during the absence of State Secretary Bludov, and in the absence of Prince Dolgoruky, he took over the Ministry of Justice. He was awarded the Order of the White Eagle. On February 2, 1832, he was called to take the post of Minister of Justice, while retaining the title of state secretary. In the same year, he was awarded the Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky for excellent service. On February 14, 1839, he was promoted to the rank of Actual Privy Councillor, appointed member of the State Council, Chairman of the Department of Laws and Head of the Second Division of His Majesty's Chancellery, with the title of General Manager, which was then assigned to all subsequent heads of the Second Division. It is known that while in the post of Minister of Justice he once presented to Emperor Nicholas I of Russia about taking back one Highest Command, which was sent for promulgation, but contrary to existing laws. He participated in the creation of the first "Code of Laws of the Russian Empire", organized an inventory of the affairs of the Moscow Archive. In 1826 and 1835, he worked in commissions on the peasant question. At the initiative of Dashkov, the composition of the Senate office was improved, the clerical work in the Senate was subject to certain rules, which established the turn in the report of cases, the rules for drawing up definitions in the Senate were worked out. In 1839, he died of Tabes Dorsalis in Saint Petersburg and was buried in the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Dashkov's initial literary experiments date back to his time at the university hostel and consist of translations from French: in the second book of the "Morning Dawn" of 1803 his idyll is printed: "Traces of the Golden Age", in the third book of 1805 his article appeared: "On Suicide", and in 1804 in the periodical: "And Rest in Favor", he placed an essay entitled: "Sciences, Arts, Scientists, Artists and Universities in Germany". Literary fame is associated with his active participation in the debate about the old and new syllables. The article «Analysis of "Two Articles from La Harpe"» in the "Flower Garden" of 1810, Nos. 11 and 12, contains an analysis of Shishkov's book: "Translation of Two Articles from La Harpe", published back in 1808. In the book "On the Easiest Way to Object to Criticism" (Saint Petersburg, 1811), he proved that some of the examples cited by Shishkov from old books, as the beauty of the Slavic language, are just a literal translation from Greek. Ivan Dmitriev instructed him to publish Zhukovsky's "Singer in the Camp of Russian Warriors", to which Dashkov wrote notes. In 1810, Dashkov was elected a member of the Saint Petersburg Society of Lovers of Literature, Science and Art and in the organ of society: "Saint Petersburg Herald" posted several articles and notes signed with the letter D. In the first part of the Saint Petersburg Bulletin of 1812, an article with a guiding value: "Something About Magazines", then two reviews: one on "The History of Suvorov" by Yegor Fuchs, the other on "Voltaire's Jokes", and finally, an anonymous review to Shishkov's book: "Adding to Conversations About Literature, or Objections to Objections Made to This Book". In 1812, he was expelled from the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science, and the Arts, in which at one time he was chairman. This was due to the admission to the Society of Count Khvostov. Dashkov objected to this but was forced to obey the majority. Upon entry, Khvostov greeted him with a speech in which he ironically extolled Khvostov's creations with the syllable of "Conversations". The next day, Khvostov invited Dashkov to dinner and made him understand that he understood the mockery, but was not angry. Others from the "Society", however, considered that Dashkov had insulted a member of the company and was subject to exclusion based on the charter. Together with Dmitry Bludov and Vasily Zhukovsky, Dashkov was the founder and one of the most active members of the literary society "Arzamas" and was nicknamed "Chu" here. In 1815, he was one of the worst persecutors of Prince Shakhovskoy, who in his comedy: "A Lesson in Coquette or Lipetsk Waters" ridiculed Zhukovsky, introducing the poet Fialkin in comedy. In the "Son of the Fatherland" of 1815 (Part 25, No. 42, Pages 140–148), Dashkov printed: "Letter to the Newest Aristophanes", in which he exposed Prince Shakhovsky as an intriguer, envious and guilty of Ozerov's death, then composed a cantata against Shakhovsky, which was sung choir by all Arzamasers. This cantata was published by Pimen Arapov in the Annals of the Russian Theater (pages 241–242), and extracts from it were given in the 1875 Russian Archive (Book III, page 358). In 1816, at the meeting of Arzamas on the occasion of the election of Vasily Pushkin as his member, Dashkov made a speech directed generally against Shishkov's "Conversations of Lovers of the Russian Word" and in particular against Prince Shakhovsky. This speech was published in the Russian Archive of 1876 (Book I, pages 65–66). During his four-year stay in Constantinople at the Russian embassy and then, while traveling in Greece, having thoroughly studied the Greek language and familiarizing himself with Greek poetry, Dashkov diligently searched for ancient manuscripts in various book depositories, and repeatedly tried to get acquainted with the treasures of the library of seraglio. The result of his passion for Greek poetry and the search for manuscripts was a series of prose articles by Dashkov, as well as a number of poetic translations from Greek anthologies. In "Northern Flowers" there were articles by Dashkov: "Mount Athos. Excerpt from a Trip to Greece in 1820" (1825, Pages 119–161), "The News of Greek and Latin Manuscripts in the Seraglio Library" (1825, Pages 162–165), "Russian Fans in Jerusalem. Excerpt from a Trip to Greece and Palestine in 1820" (1826, Pages 214–283), "A Few More Words About the Seraglio Library" (1826, Pages 283–296). The last article is Dashkov's response to the comments of the Bologna General Bulletin, which doubted the reliability of the information published by Dashkov about the library of seraglio. In the same Northern Flowers (1825, Pages 305–312), Dashkov's translations were published in verses under the title: "Flowers Selected from Greek Apeology", then poetic translations from Greek under the same title were published in the Polar Star in 1825 (Pages 278–286) and in the Moscow Telegraph of 1828 (Volume XIX, No. 1, Page 46), moreover, in the last journal without any signature. In 1813, Dashkov, on behalf of Ivan Dmitriev, published "The Singer in the Camp of Russian Warriors", with the publisher's notes signed by D. D.'s initials. In 1820, he also published a pamphlet by Sergey Uvarov and Konstantin Batyushkov: "On Greek Anthology". In addition, Dashkov prepared a translation of some of Herder's works in the manuscript and intended it for a Russian-German literary collection entitled "Aonids", the publication of which Zhukovsky intended to begin in 1817 or 1818. With almost all members of the society of "Arzamas geese" Dashkov, "Chu" was briefly familiar with many of them who conducted active friendly correspondence and was a recognized authority in the field of literary and artistic criticism. In 1814, Vasily Pushkin dedicated a poem to Dashkov: "My Dear Friend in a Country Where the Volga Flows Along with the River Banks...". In 1838, at the suggestion of Alexander Shishkov, he was elected a member of the Russian Academy. Wife (from May 30, 1830) – Elizaveta Vasilyevna Pashkova (1809–1890), daughter of the wealthy miner Vasily Pashkov. According to a contemporary, Madame Dashkova was a typical high-ranking woman, beautiful, domineering, of direct character and of a lively, serious mind. In 1835, the Dashkov couple became owners of the Blagoveshchensk Smelter near Ufa. In marriage had four children: National Federation of Chemical Industries The National Federation of Chemical Industries (, FNIC) is a trade union representing workers in the chemical industry in France. The union was founded in 1907 as the Oil and Gas Workers' Federation, as an affiliate of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT). In 1909, it was renamed as the Federation of Chemical Products. In 1921, it suffered a major split, with left-wingers forming the United Federation of Chemical Industries, but they rejoined in 1935, with their general secretary, Eduoard Finck, becoming secretary of the merged union. By 1994, the union's membership had fallen 22,156. It has since stabilised, and was 24,814 in 2019.

Vickers Medium Dragon The Vickers Medium Dragon was a fully-tracked British field artillery tractor made by Vickers Ltd., produced in various versions from 1922 to 1937. It was developed from the carrier version of a 'Tropical Tank' designed by Lt-Colonel Philip Johnson, using components from the running gear of the Vickers Medium Mark I tank. The Mark IV version of the Medium Dragon was effectively a complete re-design, using the running gear from the Vickers 6-ton tank which was not adopted by the British Army. The Army finally decided in 1935 to purchase only wheeled artillery tractors, and no more were sold in the UK, but the Medium Dragon Mark IV sold well in export versions up to 1937. The Medium Dragons towed a wide range of artillery, from 18-pounder to 60-pounder guns. From c1929 Vickers-Armstrongs also made the Light Dragon tractor for towing light artillery, with a similar name but of a completely different design based on early versions of Vickers Light Tanks. Although there had been previous efforts to motorise heavy artillery transport duringthe First World War (eg the Holt tractor, the Gun Carrier Mark I and the Foster-Daimler Artillery Tractor to tow the 15-inch howitzer, the vast majority of British field artillery was still horse-drawn.See also Horses in World War I § Logistical support. Maj.-Gen. Sir Louis Jackson, formerly director of Trench warfare at the War Office, suggested in a lecture that he gave in December 1919 that the army should organize the entirety of its transport on the basis of trucks; the infantry, artillery, and engineers should be carried in tracked tractors and cross-country trucks capable of transporting them swiftly and safely across the battlefield. By late 1921 the War Office had begun the process of mechanising the Army's artillery: The United Service Gazette reporting "The War Office have given instructions for the four batteries of the 9th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, now stationed at Deepcut, in the Aldershot Command, to be "mechanicalised" for the purpose of practical experiments. All the horses of the Brigade, except those of the officers, have been withdrawn and sent to the Remount Department. The personnel of the Brigade are now being trained to drive and to repair the kind of tractors to be used. It is understood that a tractor ﬁtted with caterpillar tracks has been officially recommended for the trials, which are to take place shortly in the Aldershot Command. It is urged in favour of mechanical draught that it is economical in man power since the personnel of a battery might be reduced to approximately one half, when compared with one relying on horse draught." Lt-Colonel Philip Johnson of the Royal Tank Corps had been involved in tank development since 1918. Early designs after the war included the Vickers Medium Tank D, an amphibious tank capable of 25 mph. Another of Johnson's designs was a 'Light Infantry Tank', similar to the Medium Tank D. Johnson visited India in 1922 to see for himself the sort of requirements needed for a tank for the North-West Frontier. The trip resulted in a 7-ton 'Tropical Tank', together with a supply (ie 'load-carrying') variant. The engine, an Armstrong Siddeley air-cooled petrol V-8 of 90 hp (67 kW) was installed at the front on the left, with radiator intakes/louvres in the front panel (which were reproduced in the Mark I Dragon). Unusually it had rear wheel drive, like the Medium Mark A Whippet and Vickers Medium Mark I and Vickers Medium Mark II. The 9th (IX) Brigade RFA took delivery of the supply variant in August 1922: subsequently two more prototypes were built, named the Vickers Dragon Nos. 1 & 2 Artillery Tractor (experimental). Whereas the Light Infantry and Tropical Tanks used a novel wire rope suspension, the prototype Dragons had conventional coil suspension based on the Vickers Medium Mark I, with 11 small road wheels and 6 return rollers. This system was carried into production. Vickers began a limited production run in 1923, with the delivery of 18 Dragons Mark I, initially towing the Army's main field piece, the QF 18-pounder gun. During 1923-4 the first two field artillery brigades were completely mechanized. At the same time the Royal Tank Corps, which had been placed on a permanent footing in September 1923, acquired its first Vickers Medium Tanks. The Medium Dragon was produced in four main versions, Marks I-IV. 11 road wheels, six return rollers, side skirt running the length of the tracks like Johnson's 'Tropical Supply Tank'. The nine crew members sat on three rather exposed forward-facing benches, plus a commander and driver in front. Two were converted by the Royal Ordnance Factory Woolwich for use by the RAF Armoured Car Company when the RAF took over responsibility and control of Mandatory Palestine, Trans-Jordan protectorate and parts of Iraq from 1922. The crew benches were removed, and an armoured body fitted with the turret from a Rolls-Royce armoured car. One was further transformed into a boxy armoured personnel carrier with rifle ports in the sides. Experiments were also made with the Mark I Dragon to use it as a Bridge carrier, with a footbridge. The two detachable steel beams which were carried on the side skirts of the Mark I may have been connected with this. By 1926 a Vickers Medium tank had also been adapted to be a bridgelayer, but with only a 16-foot light girder bridge, it was found to be of no practical use. Distinguishing features include 11 road wheels (4 linked twin bogies, two separate wheels at the front, one at the rear), and five return rollers. The side skirt /mud chutes with 7 square holes, two vertical bars linking the side skirt to the main body. Headlights on stalks. Prominent upwards-facing triangular air intake in the centre of the front plate. There was accommodation for eight men sitting sideways inside, plus two on rounded leather? seats at the rear aft of the ammunition boxes, plus a commander & driver at the front. A Pathé newsreel shows King George V at Aldershot in c1923 watching Army exercises, including his inspection of a Medium Dragon Mk II. The Medium Dragon Mark II had some minor changes, including re-designed ammunition boxes. The Mark III appeared in around 1929. The tracks had 11 road wheels (5 pairs flat on the ground and 1 single at the front), and six return rollers. The solid side skirt/mud chutes had four oblong holes. Five vertical bars linked the body to the side skirt. The headlights gained modern-looking faired housings. The air intake appears to be situated on the rh sloping front plate. Squared-off seats aft of the ammunition boxes at the rear of the body. The Mark IIIB had modified mud chutes/sideskirts with three large oval holes and two smaller vertical oval ones at each end. The Mark IIIC had extra armouring apparently protecting the left-hand side crew. The headlight enclosures were squared-off, and the triangular engine cooling intake was turned downwards-facing on rh side front plate. A 1942 US manual on the British Army shows a Medium Dragon Mark IIIC towing a BL 6-inch 26 cwt howitzer. The Mark IV of c1932 was essentially a complete re-design, incorporating the running gear from the Vickers 6-ton Light Tank Mk II (or Mark E?): eight road wheels in two sets of paired bogies, quarter elliptical leaf spring suspension, and four return rollers. The side skirts on previous models were removed, leaving the running gear exposed. There was a distinctive shape to the tracks with the top run angled upwards towards the front. Only twelve were sold to British Army in 1935, which adopted the official name of Dragon, Medium, Mark IV: some of these went to France with the BEF at the start of WW2.. The UK versions were fitted with an AEC 6-cylinder inline water-cooled diesel engine as fitted to London buses (eg the AEC Q-type). Export versions were powered by an Armstrong-Siddeley Puma petrol 4-cylinder engine developing 91.5 bhp. In 1935 the Army decided to concentrate on using wheeled vehicles for towing all the army's artillery (such as the Morris CDSW and later the Quad, and the AEC Matador), and the procurement of tracked artillery tractors was dropped. Nevertheless, Mark IIIC Medium Dragons were still being used in 1942. A cargo version of the Medium Dragon Mark IV was also produced. Vickers exported considerably more Mark IVs (and 6-ton tanks) to foreign armies. In 1932 one vehicle was sold to the German company Siemens-Schuckert; in 1933 Finland bought 20, and the same year 26 Mark IVs in an anti-aircraft version were sold to the Siamese (Thai) Army, armed with a QF 2-pounder naval gun ( 'pom-pom'). 23 were sold to China in 1935 and India bought 18 tractors in 1937. According to David Fletcher, the running gear used in the Mark IV Dragon was the basis of the Matilda I tank. During trials of early Matildas in 1936 the track pins failed constantly, and the rubber-tyred road rollers (which were subject to considerable wear) were replaced with steel ones: but these faults weren't cured until 1937 (when production of Mark IV Dragons ceased). Data source: School of Army Aviation (Turkey) The Turkish School of Army Aviation ("Kara Havacılık Okulu") based at Isparta, is one of the schools of the Turkish Army and is responsible for the training and development of the Turkish Army Aviation Command personnel and equipment. It was founded in 1948 under the name of artillery excavation within the artillery school. In 1957, it was removed from the artillery school and took the name of aviation. Kara Aviation School continued its educational activities until 2019 at its campus next to the command building in Güvercinlik in Ankara. After the new air base project of the Turkish Army, it was decided to move to Isparta. The training of military aviators within the Turkish Army Aviation Command in Ankara continues at the school campus located in Isparta. The school campus is next to Süleyman Demirel Airport.

Shpyh started his career as designer-technician at the Leninska Kuznia (today Kuznya na Rybalskomu) central design bureau in 1972, while studying at the Kiev Shipbuilding Vocational School. After his service in the Soviet army (1976–78), he returned to LK working as technology engineer. In 1979–82 Shpyh worked as a senior technology engineer at furniture association "Brovarymebli". In 1982–91 he was a Komsomol activist working in particular as a head of affairs for the Central Committee of the Lenin's Youth Communist League of Ukraine (LKSMU). During this time in 1984 Shpyh also graduated the Kiev Institute of National Economy as economist and defended his candidate dissertation "Management of a commercial bank operation". Following dissolution of the Soviet Union, in 1991 Shpyh became a head of credit resources department in one of the first commercial banks in Ukraine "INKO". In March 1992 he established own bank known as "Aval" which since 2005 is a regional branch of the Austrian bank giant Raiffeisen. In 1999–2007 Shpyh was a member of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) council. In 1997 he was awarded the official title of Merited Economist of Ukraine.

Maria Millington Lathbury Maria Millington Lathbury (1856 - 1944) was a classical scholar, archaeologist and numismatist. Lathbury was born in 1856, the daughter of Charles Crawford Lathbury of Wimbledon. In 1886, aged 30, she began to study "Literae humaniores" at the University of Oxford; her college was Somerville. Her interest in the classical world had been stimulated by Jane Harrison's "Extension Lectures in the Suburbs". At Oxford she was taught by Percy Gardner. Later she also travelled to Greece as a companion for a 'younger woman' in 1892. There some of the research for her subsequent book took place. She also joined one of Dörpfeld's tours of the Greek islands. In 1892 she also wrote a note in "The Academy" on the lighting within Greek temples. Also in 1892, Lathbury married the archaeologist Sir John Evans. They had met at a lecture that Lathbury attended on "The Dates of some Greek Temples as derived from their orientation". They met again the following week at a diner party and five months later were married. For a wedding gift, Evans gave Lathbury a Roman cameo, in a gold mount by Alessandro Castellani. They toured archaeological sites in Britain and France for their honeymoon, travelling with their mutual friend Nina Layard. On 22 June 1893, their daughter Joan Evans was born at Nash Mills, Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire. In 1906 the family moved to Britwell, Berkhamsted. In 1908 her husband died; in his obituary Lathbury was described as a "classical scholar and keen antiquary". She died in 1944. After completing the examinations in the late 1880s, Lathbury was appointed as an Extension Lecturer for the university. She was also a 'lady lecturer' at the British Museum, focusing on Greek dress. In fact, along with Ethel Abrahams, Lathbury was one of the first female scholars of Greek Dress. Both scholars wanted their work to be accessible so that members of the public could recreate Greek styles of dress for themselves. In 1891 she was interviewed in the "Pall Mall Gazette" with Jane Harrison, where they discussed the Greek world, archaeology and the character of female audiences for archaeological talks. In 1892 she designed the costume for a production of Aristophanes' "The Frogs." In the following year her book, "Chapters on Greek Dress", published and dedicated to OUDS ‘in remembrance of their performance of the Frogs of Aristophanes'. In 1900 "The Englishwoman's Yearbook & Directory" listed her as a woman "active in archaeology". Lathbury buried a time capsule on 20 July 1898, with a halfpenny and a handwritten note inside, to commemorate the construction of St Albans Museum, which her husband helped to found. A new capsule was re-buried on the same spot in 2018. Terino Terino () is a rural locality (a village) in Voskresenskoye Rural Settlement, Cherepovetsky District, Vologda Oblast, Russia.

The locals, led by the chaplain of the village, protested that the bakery's working conditions dissatisfied them and, as well as feared that the immigrants could "impose their culture" and "threaten the Hungarian local ethnic identity". On 11 February, a petition signed by 1,800 people was sent to the town hall of the village with several requests, among them, the improvement of these working conditions, the end of immigration to the village and compensations and apologies to the population. The incident affected the popularity and income of the company, with workers and owners being repeatedly threatened by locals. The two Sri Lankans were forced to move in Gheorgheni. Furthermore, the incident received great media coverage. Other previous cases that happened in other cities began to receive more attention, and conflicts between the country's Romanian ethnic majority and the Hungarian minority sparked. Sociologists and journalists have said that this is an opportunity to start debating the existing discrimination against foreigners and the overexploitation of many workers in Romania. In the end, the owner of the company Köllő Katalin met with the chaplain to discuss the situation. On 3 March, Kelemen Hunor, president of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), announced that the situation had finally normalized. Due to the large number of Romanian citizens (regardless of ethnicity) who have emigrated from Romania, several companies have been left without sufficient human resources, which has led them to attract immigrants. However, a 2019 study by the Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy (IRES) showed that 68% of the Romanians surveyed were highly suspicious of immigrants and 50% would stop them at the border. The inhabitants of Ditrău, composed of Catholic Székelys (Hungarians), are, according to the journalist Keno Verseck, "extremely traditionalist and conservative". Ioan-Aurel Pop, president of the Romanian Academy, has declared that the community of Ditrău is a closed one, coming "from an older world". According to the sociologist Dumitru Sandu, this closure is cultural, being determined by ethnic and religious factors. Locals mainly watch, read and listen to Hungarian media close to the country's government, causing the transmission of liberalist doctrinal elements to them. Due to this affiliation with Hungarian politics, Romania matters little to the inhabitants of Ditrău. Furthermore, in 1986, this community had a conflict with the Romani minority of the village, which increased fear and hostility towards foreigners. On the other hand, according to the newspaper "Átlátszó Erdély", in Székely Land, many companies pay their employees with salaries that they consider "indecent", which contributes to the emigration of qualified human resources. Furthermore, according to the journalist Sipos Zoltán, work in the region usually includes overwork, lack of rest days and some of the hours worked are not paid. Thus, a large number of the local population currently works abroad. Journalist and sociologist Ruxandra Hurezean said there were indications that several Hungarian local leaders were rejecting investment in counties like Harghita (where Ditrău is located), as it could boost immigration to the region and affect its ethnic composition. A study has shown that of all Transylvania, Harghita and Covasna (both with a large Hungarian population) are the counties with the least amount of foreign capital entered. Csata Zsombor, another sociologist, has indicated that, according to a study on the economy based in ethnicity in Transylvania, a non-Hungarian employee who works in a Hungarian-speaking environment earns 50 to 450 lei less than an employee who does the same position but in a company where he is the only Hungarian. He says that the degree of Hungarian ethnic homogeneity at work is related to disadvantage in the salary. There is an average difference of 300 lei if someone does not have many Romanian colleagues compared to someone who has a similar position but in a completely Romanian environment. Ditrói Pékség, in Ditrău, is a bakery built with funds from the European Community in need of additional human resources at the time. Then, of the over 90 employees, only 18 were locals from Ditrău. Since the bakery's employers were unable to find new workers in the Harghita County or nearby counties, they decided to hire workers from abroad. Therefore, the bakery legally hired a baker from Hungary in 2019 and in January 2020, two bakers from Sri Lanka. One of them is Welgamage Don Prasanna Piumal, a 22-year-old Catholic, and the other is Amarashinga Archchilag Mahinda, a 48-year-old Buddhist. Both are of Sinhalese ethnicity. Further, the company announced its intention to hire another Sri Lankan and four persons from Nepal. Almost two weeks after the engagement of the two Sri Lankan bakers by the company in question, their presence led to a riot of a part of the community in Ditrău, which saw them as a threat to the village. The atmosphere of intolerance soon turned to exclusion and xenophobia. According to parishioners of the village, on 26 January, a Roman Catholic chaplain warned of the danger associated with the arrival of "strangers". The chaplain appealed to the population to ask the mayor of the commune of Ditrău to resolve the created situation. On 27 January, a Facebook group with the name ("We want a Ditrău without migrants") was created. For two days, in the discussions carried out on the platform, nationalist and racist threats were targeted to the Sri Lankan employees and the bakery owners. After becoming the spokesperson of the protesters, the chaplain organized a demonstration on 29 January in front of the town hall with around 200 locals. Among their reasons, they said that they were afraid of the emergence of "a wave of migrants", which would impose their culture and endanger the safety of the locals. After being threatened, the Sri Lankans moved to a house in Lăzarea, a neighboring village. The owner of the house there was also threatened, so both workers started looking for a house in Gheorgheni. The same day, the inhabitants of Ditrău announced their intention to protest during a town council meeting. The 200 locals continued protesting in the courtyard of a church, where the chaplain organized a meeting on the fate of the Székelys and the injustices suffered by them. After that, he led the group to the building in which the town council meeting was held, but due to limited space and the busy schedule of those who attended the meeting, the protest was postponed to 1 February. Afterwards, the protesters went back to the church. The first to react was the mayor of the commune, who involved in mediating the situation and urged people to calm, and the employers of the company. The directors of the company, ignoring the locals, stated that they would continue to work with Sri Lankans. The company's other workers, including some who had worked abroad, supported them as well. However, locals did not relent, beginning to boycott the company's revenue under the argument that "bread is made by foreigners". In fact, the sales of the bakery dropped by 30%. Furthermore, hundreds of racist and hate comments continued to be posted on Facebook. On 1 February, approximately 300 people gathered at a meeting in the Cultural House in Ditrău. The bakery owners did not participate although they were asked to attend insistently. They, however, sent a letter to the inhabitants in which they, among other things, apologized for not warning them of the arrival of foreigners. During the discussion, it was revealed that there had previously been a deep conflict between the company owners and the locals, and that this incident had only aggravated the situation between them. Protestants expressed dissatisfaction with the employers' attitude towards some of the workers who had been there at the company and the salary they had received. The financial newspaper "Ziarul Financiar" stated that, based on the public data of the company, the 90 workers received the minimum wage allowed by Romanian economy. During the meeting, locals insisted that they did not want immigrants in the village, nor did want the two Sri Lankans to touch the bread. Fearing that the incident could escalate, employers of the bakery reported that, although both workers will be kept, they will be transferred to another stage of the production process. In addition, they also informed locals that if enough workers could be hired from nearby areas in the next half-year, the bakery would stop looking for people abroad. Locals did not clarify whether or not they accepted the company's responses, but agreed to send a petition to the directors with all their wishes on 3 February. On the day of the meeting, the workers moved to Gheorgheni. Ștefan Mandachi, an economist, offered them job in Suceava to relocate, this one being followed by more offers. On 2 February, after the National Council for Combating Discrimination ordered to be notified in case of relocation of the two Sri Lankans to another stage of the production, the company directors announced that the workers will retain their initial workplace. Furthermore, they also announced that some of the other workers of the bakery were being threatened for collaborating with the foreigners. In a press release, the employers described several of the threats the locals were sending to the immigrants, including the slogan published in the Facebook group "Să dăm foc ca în annul ’90" ("Let's set fire like in the 90s", referring to the ethnic clashes of Târgu Mureș), stating that they intended to set the bakery on fire. Also, one of the bakery's businessperson announced that due to the incident of the past days, another bakery that was planned to be built in Ditrău with funds of the European Union will be built elsewhere. On 3 February, the municipal police of Gheorgheni registered a complaint by the company for the events in the village. Throughout the whole incident, the Sri Lankan embassy, concerned about the safety of two workers, contacted them. On 4 February, the bakery was fined with 10,000 lei, and the employers were warned for committing four not serious irregularities. The day after a third Sri Lankan worker arrived in Romania in 10 February to work in the bakery, several residents and the chaplain presented the petition agreed at the meeting of 1 February signed by more than 1,800 persons from the village to the town hall. The petition was directed to the town hall, the town council and the bakery. On it, the locals asked the bakery employers to not employ more immigrants as the unemployment rate "surpassed the 2% of the population" and "the emigration of young people had to be stopped". In addition, the documents regarding the professional qualification of the first two Sri Lankans along with their personal documents and medical certificates were requested. Apologies were sought by the locals and the chaplain for "damage to their reputation", as well as financial compensation to harmed and offended workers for 5 years. Other conditions also include the payment of holidays. On 21 February, the owner of the company Köllő Katalin announced that it had hired another four workers from Nepal, who would arrive in about a month. In addition, she said the petition had not yet been officially received by the company. On 26 February, the bakery owner met with the chaplain to discuss the incident and the dissatisfaction expressed by the locals. Declaratively, after reaching a consensus, the company expected the workers to continue working, and the local priest Bíró Károly urged the population of Ditrău to work at the bakery. The mayor of the village, Puskás Elemér, said that the situation "is about to normalize". In addition, it was stated that another company in Ditrău was filling an application to bring between 5 and 10 foreign workers to the village. On 3 March, the president of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) Kelemen Hunor declared that things had finally calmed down. The media coverage of what happened in Ditrău highlighted the fact that what happened in the locality was not an isolated case in Romania. Therefore, a partner of the company Soter&Partners which, among other things, brings foreigner workers to the country, mentioned several similar cases. Among them is one from Cluj-Napoca, in which several persons protested the presence of Sri Lankan workers in a restaurant and sent a petition to the town hall. Other cases occurred in Râmnicu Vâlcea and in Bucharest. Until February 2020, however, there was no data specifying in how many localities in Romania similar phenomena happened. The incident attracted great attention from the ethnic Romanian public who began to discuss the "export of ideologies" given by the government of Viktor Orbán. There were also Romanians who used the incident to carry out nationalist attacks on the country's Hungarian minority. As for Hungarians, the events showed that even though some Hungarians adopted "strategies" to "demonstrate superiority" and "preserve the Hungarian ethnic identity", the minority is in a vulnerable position with respect to Romania, evidenced by the presentation of the events in Ditrău as a case of racism of the Hungarian community by a large part of Romanian media. Due to the lack of a dominant position, many Hungarians have leaned to a far-right ideology, which according to the journalists Tamás Kiss and Tibor Toró, hinders the possibility of Romanian Hungarians to make a credible and honest speech on their minority rights. According to the journalist Răzvan Bibire, the incident also presents an opportunity to start discussing at a national level the overexploitation suffered by many employees and the difficulties they have in defending their labor rights. It is unknown how possible future cases of this type will be treated. There is a possibility that media may try to strengthen interethnic borders or attempt to subordinate political objectives. It is also possible that the incident will trigger an open debate on the problems of Romanian society, such as power relations, marginalization and xenophobia.

Biological roles of the elements A large fraction of the chemical elements that occur naturally on the earth's surface are essential to the structure and metabolism of living things. Four of these elements (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) are essential to every living thing and collectively make up 99% of the mass of protoplasm. Phosphorus and sulfur are also common essential elements, essential to the structure of nucleic acids and amino acids, respectively. Chlorine, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus have important roles due to their ready ionization and utility in regulating membrane activity and osmotic potential. The remaining elements found in living things are primarily metals that play a role in determining protein structure. Examples include iron, essential to hemoglobin; and magnesium, essential to chlorophyll. Some elements are essential only to certain taxonomic groups of organisms, particularly the prokaryotes. For instance, the lanthanide series rare earths are essential for methanogens. As shown in the following table, there is strong evidence that 19 of the elements are essential to all living things, and another 17 are essential to some taxonomic groups. Of these 17, most have not been extensively studied, and their biological importance may be greater than currently supposed. The remaining elements are not known to be essential. There appear to be several causes of this. Aluminum warrants special mention because it is the most abundant metal and the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust; despite this, it is not essential for life. With this sole exception, the eight most highly abundant elements in the earth's crust, making up over 90% of the crustal mass, are also essential for life. The following list identifies in rank order the possible biological roles of the chemical elements, ranging from a score of 5 for elements essential to all living things, to a score of 1 for elements that have no known effects on living things. There are also letter scores for special functions of the elements. These rank scores are used to characterize each element in the following table. The following table identifies the 94 chemical elements that occur naturally on the earth's surface, their atomic numbers, their biological rank as defined above, and their general beneficial and harmful roles in living things. Louisville Cardinals men's basketball statistical leaders The Louisville Cardinals basketball statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Louisville Cardinals men's basketball program in various categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Cardinals represent the University of Louisville in the NCAA's Atlantic Coast Conference. Louisville began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1911. However, the school's record book does not generally list records from before the 1950s, as records from before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent. Since scoring was much lower in this era, and teams played much fewer games during a typical season, it is likely that few or no players from this era would appear on these lists anyway. The NCAA did not officially record assists as a stat until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but Louisville's record books includes players in these stats before these seasons. These lists are updated through the end of the 2019–20 season. Bunsen Burner – The Album Bunsen Burner – The Album is the sixth solo album by English singer-songwriter John Otway, released in 2006.

Composite nationalism Composite nationalism (Hindustani: "mushtareka wataniyat" or "muttahidah qaumiyat") is a concept that argues that the Indian nation is made of up people of diverse cultures, castes, communities, and faiths. The idea teaches that "nationalism cannot be defined by religion in India." While Indian citizens maintain their distinctive religious traditions, they are members of one united Indian nation. Composite nationalism teaches that prior to the arrival of the British in India, who introduced a divide and rule policy, there was no enmity between people of different religious faiths and so these introduced divisions can be overcome. Bipin Chandra Pal put forward the idea of composite patriotism in colonial India in 1906, promulgating the idea that "Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and other religious minorities (including the 'animistic' tribals) should preserve their distinctive religious cultures while fighting together for freedom." David Hardiman, a historian of modern India, writes that prior to the arrival of the British in India, "there was no profound enmity between Hindus and Muslims; the British created divisions." Mahatma Gandhi thus taught that these created divisions could be overcome through Hindu-Muslim unity as "religions are different roads coverging to the same point." Earlier, Sayyid Jamal al-Din al-Afghani Asadabadi advocated for Hindu-Muslim unity in India as opposed to unity between Indian Muslims and foreign Muslims, holding that Hindu-Muslim unity would effectively combat British imperialism, leading to an independent India. Annie Besant, a supporter of both Indian and Irish self-rule championed the concept in 1917, teaching that "Indian youths should be brought up so as 'to make the Mussalman a good Mussalman, the Hindu boy a good Hindu ... Only they must be taught a broad and liberal tolerance as well as enlightened love for their own religion, so that each may remain Hindu or Mussalman, but both be Indian." The All India Azad Muslim Conference was established in 1929, by the Chief Minister of Sind, Allah Bakhsh Soomro, who founded of the Sind Ittehad Party (Sind United Party), which opposed the partition of India. Allah Bakhsh Soomro, as well as the All India Azad Muslim Conference, advocated for composite nationalism: After Gandhi returned to colonial India he expanded the idea of composite nationalism to include not only religious groups, but castes and other communities. Hardiman writes that this led to a "massive expansion of the nationalist movement in India" with people from all segments of society participating in it. Composite nationalism was championed by the Islamic scholar and Principal of the Darul Uloom Deoband, Maulana Sayyid Hussain Ahmed Madani. Asgar Ali summarized a key point of Madni's 1938 text "Muttahida Qaumiyat Aur Islam", which advocated for composite nationalism in a united India: Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a Pashtun Indian independence activist, along with his Khudai Khidmatgar, heralded composite nationalism, emphasizing the fact that Muslims were natives of the Indian subcontinent as with their Hindu brethren. On 15 December 2018, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind gathered in the National Capital Territory of Delhi to affirm composite nationalism. The Islamic organisation launched one hundred meetings starting from that date "around the theme of freedom, nationalism and how the organisation can the minority community contribute to nation building." The concept of composite nationalism as advocated by Gandhi has parallels with the shaping of unified nations in other countries whose peoples comprise subsets of multiple ethnic and religious nations. Especially diverse examples include the shaping of a unified American national identity in the United States centered on democracy and the U.S. Constitution (across many ethnicities and religions) and the shaping of a unified national identity in the Soviet Union according to the ideas of Vladimir Lenin regarding socialist patriotism in a context of proletarian internationalism and the national question in the Soviet Union (as ideas such as those explored in "Marxism and the National Question" would shape national delimitation in the Soviet Union). Both Gandhi and Lenin sought to unite various nations within a diverse empire to dethrone a ruler that was seen as oppressive, and both would need a vision for why those various nations should remain united once the former state was overthrown (lest they instead form multiple nation states in its wake). Composite nationalism differs from Lenin's theories in that Gandhi maintained that each group should be able to follow their own way of life after Indian independence from the British had been achieved, whereas Leninism prescribes many political positions that all citizens are bound by. San Francisco public grammar schools In 1879, San Francisco had 15 grammar schools, three exclusively for girls (Denman, Rincon, and Broadway), three exclusively for boys (Lincoln, Washington, and Union), and nine co-educational (Spring Valley, Hayes Valley, North and South Cosmopolitan, Valencia Street, Eighth Street, Mission, Jefferson, and Clement). In addition, co-ed Potrero School served both primary and grammar pupils. Students expected to attend grammar school for seven or eight years. Several grammar schools survive to this day, including James Denman Middle School, Lowell High School (formerly Union Grammar School), and Spring Valley Science Elementary School. Washington Grammar School is believed to have been destroyed in a fire in February 1930. Three more grammar schools, Crocker, Hamilton, and Horace Mann, were created in 1913. These were the final grammar schools opened in San Francisco as the later pupils of grammar school age would attend junior highs (first opened in 1922) and middle schools (opened in 1978). = Academic awards = Four of the schools (Denman, Lincoln, Broadway) awarded medals to their top graduates. In addition, male pupils competed for the Bridge Medal, established by Samuel J. Bridge who resided in San Francisco before returning to his native Dresden, Maine. = Segregation = The Chinese Elementary School was created in response to a court ruling in 1885 that Chinese students must be educated. This ruling would have allowed Mamie Tape to attend Spring Valley Grammar School if the Chinese Elementary School had not been created to prevent her doing so. = Statistics = In 1870, a typical grammar school building for 1,000 pupils cost $30,000 to build. In 1875, 6,055 students were enrolled in San Francisco's grammar schools, taught by 129 teachers (102 of which were female). The first female principal of a San Francisco grammar school was Kate Kennedy, who was appointed in 1856. = References = Kjetil Bragli Alstadheim Kjetil Bragli Alstadheim (born 26 September 1968) is a Norwegian journalist.

Oman–Saudi Arabia border The Oman–Saudi Arabia border is 658 km (409 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with the United Arab Emirates in the north to the tripoint with Yemen in the south-west. The border starts in the north at the tripoint with the UAE; it consists of three straight lines: the first orientated NW-SE (91 km; 57 m), the second NE-SW (233 km; 145 m), and the third NE-SW (334 km; 207 m), terminating at the Yemeni tripoint. The border lies entirely within the barren Rub' al Khali desert, or 'empty quarter' of Arabia. The Umm al Samim quicksand area also lies on the border, at the first ‘bend’ in the north. Historically there was no clearly defined boundary in this part of the Arabian peninsula; at the start of the 20th century the Ottoman Empire controlled the western coast and Britain the east and south (ruled indirectly via local sheikhs and emirs), with the interior consisting of loosely organised Arab groupings, occasionally forming emirates, most prominent of which was the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa ruled by the al-Saud family. Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence in Arabia via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913–14, however these agreements were rendered null and void following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War. During the First World War an Arab Revolt, supported by Britain, succeeded in removing the Ottomans from much of the Middle East; in the period following this Ibn Saud managed to expand his kingdom considerably, eventually proclaiming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. Ibn Saud refused to recognise the Anglo-Ottoman lines and lay claim to large parts of the eastern Arabian hinterland (the so-called ‘Hamza line’). On 25 November 1935 British officials met with Ibn Saud in an attempt to finalise a frontier between the new kingdom and its coastal protectorates, including Oman, which was ruled by an independent sultan under heavy British influence. The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. In 1955, following the an attempt by Saudi Arabia to assert its control over the Buraimi Oasis on the Oman-UAE border, Britain stated that it would unilaterally use a slightly modified version of the 1935 'Riyadh line' henceforth. Following talks held in 1989, on 21 March 1990 a border treaty was signed between King Fahd of Saudi Arabian Oman's Sultan Qaboos at Hafr al-Batin, and then ratified in May 1991. This agreement finalised the border at the 1955 modified Riyadh line. On-the-ground demarcation then followed with the assistance of the German aerial photography company Hansa Luftbild, being completed in 1995. The first official border crossing, at Ramlat Khaliya in the far northern section of the frontier, was opened in 2006. 1962 Rhode Island gubernatorial election The 1962 Rhode Island gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1962.

It was released on June 24, 1997 by MCA Records. Deren Svendsen of AllMusic gave the album two stars. He states "In 1996, the Nixons appeared to be on the verge of becoming one of the next big post-grunge bands, due in large part to the hit single "Sister," an acoustic ballad that wore the band's Pearl Jam influences on its sleeve. They returned in the summer of 1997 with this self-titled album, yet anyone expecting an album further mining the sound of "Sister" is bound to be disappointed. Rather than capitalizing on their success, the Nixons have instead crafted a set of hard, grungier songs." He praised the track "Sad, Sad Me", but concludes by writing "Unfortunately, other than that one winner, this is strictly paint-by-number mid-'90s rock, with little to recommend to anyone except the most die-hard fan."

Oreste Capocci Oreste Capocci (13 May 1888 – 29 October 1950) was a French trade unionist. Born in Paris, Capocci worked as a tailor, then as a sales representative. In 1907, he joined the Socialist Revolutionary Youth, soon becoming its secretary in the 19th arrondissement. He was called up for military service, but attended anti-military meetings, and was imprisoned for this. On release, he joined the Young Revolutionary Guard, winning election to its executive committee, then joined the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO), becoming one of its leading youth activists in Paris. Capocci served during World War I and immediately abandoned his anti-war stance, remaining a member of the SFIO, but arguing that it should focus on conditions after the war. He became associated with the right-wing of the party, and in 1920, was their successful candidate for a place on the executive of the Federation of Employees' Unions. In 1921, he became the general secretary of a union representing workers in small shops in Paris. When the left-wing of the union movement split away, he remained loyal to the federation, and in 1923, he was elected to the executive of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT). In 1929, he was elected as general secretary of the Federation of Employees, and he remained in the post when the left-wing rejoined. The unions were dissolved in 1940, and Capocci found work with the Social Insurance Union. He joined the Economic and Trade Union Studies Committee, and publicly opposed the Labor Charter, an action which won him the Medal of the Resistance. Immediately after the Liberation of France, the unions were reconstituted, and Capocci returned to his post as general secretary. In 1946, he was also elected to the executive of the SFIO. Capocci remained opposed to the communist leadership of the CGT, and he was a leading activist in founding Workers' Force, as an alternative. He served on its executive from its formation, in 1947, and led the majority of his union into the new federation. That year, he also won election as president of the International Federation of Commercial, Clerical, Professional and Technical Employees, serving until 1949, when he became vice-president.

Helena, Countess of Kintore Helena Keith-Falconer, Countess of Kintore (née Helena Zimmerman, formerly Helena Montagu, Duchess of Manchester) (25 September 1878 – 15 December 1971) was an American heiress who twice married into the British aristocracy. First as the Duchess of Manchester and secondly as the Countess of Kintore. Helena was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on 25 September 1878. She was the only child of Eugene Zimmerman and Marietta (née Evans) Zimmerman, who died of peritonitis in 1882 when Helena was just four years old. Her father had been born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where his father owned a factory. During the Civil War, his factory burned down and he enlisted in the Union Navy, serving with distinction. After the war, her Eugene went into the oil business, acquiring extensive holdings which he sold to John D. Rockefeller in exchange for shares in Standard Oil where he became a substantial stockholder and gained seat on the company's board. He used his income to invest in railroads, becoming president of several lines, including the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway and the Ann Arbor Railroad, and incredibly wealthy. Her father sent her to France, where she lived for many years, was educated and became accomplished in horsemanship and fencing. While attending a costume ball at a Brittany coast resort in Dinard, France, the twenty-one year old Helena met William Angus Drogo Montagu, 9th Duke of Manchester, who was then twenty-three. He was the only son of the late 8th Duke of Manchester and his wife, the Cuban American heiress Consuelo Yznaga. On 14 November 1900, they married at Marylebone Church in London without her father or his mother present. Reportedly, the Duke's mother did not believe reports of the marriage and "envinced extreme displeasure at the idea of her son marrying Miss Zimmerman." In 1903, her father bought them Kylemore Castle in Connemara, Ireland. In addition, the Manchester's owned a house in London, a country estate known as Kimbolton Castle and Tandragee Castle in Northern Ireland. In 1906, he was a Privy Councillor and from 1906 to 1907, he was a Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. From their marriage, she was the mother of four, including: The Duke's family, long prominent in British society and politics had little wealth left despite a $1,000,000 trust left for him by his mother (which she inherited from her brother, the banker Fernando Yznaga). This was compounded by the Duke's profligate gambling and spending on other women. In 1920, because of the Duke's gambling debts, they were forced to sell Kylemore Castle to Benedictine nuns who established a monastery on the grounds. Helena's father gave her a fixed allowance, and was careful to set up his will so the Duke received nothing. Her father died in Cincinnati in December 1914 leaving an estate valued at $10,000,000 in trust. By 1918, sixty-six petitions of bankruptcy had been filed against the Duke in the English courts. After rumors in 1908, and separation proceedings in 1915, 1921, and 1925 (when it was announced an estrangement had existed since 1914), they were eventually divorced in December 1931 after the Duke absconded to Cuba in November to apply for a divorce there. Her remarried almost immediately to another American, the former actress Kathleen Dawes of Connecticut. The Duke died in Seaford, Sussex in February 1947. On 23 November 1937, The Duchess of Manchester remarried to Arthur Keith-Falconer, 10th Earl of Kintore. Lord Kintore, the second son of Algernon Keith-Falconer, 9th Earl of Kintore (the Governor of South Australia in the 1890s) and the former Lady Sydney Montagu (second daughter of George Montagu, 6th Duke of Manchester), fought in the Boer War between 1900 and 1902 with the Cameron Highlanders with the Scots Guard during World War I. Lord Kintore died in London on 26 May 1966. As they had no children together, her husband's older sister, Lady Ethel Sydney Keith-Falconer (the wife of John Baird, 1st Viscount Stonehaven) became the "suo jure" 11th Countess of Kintore. The Dowager Countess of Kintore died at Keith Hall in Inverurie on 15 December 1971 and was buried alongside her second husband at the Keith Hall Burial Ground in Inverurie. Through her eldest son, she was a grandmother of Sidney Montagu, 11th Duke of Manchester (1929–1985), who married twice but died without issue, and Angus Montagu, 12th Duke of Manchester (1938–2002), who married four times and had three children. Through her second son, she was a grandmother of Roderick Edward Drogo Montagu.

Trees in Chinese mythology and cultural symbology Trees in Chinese mythology and culture tend to range from more-or-less mythological such as the Fusang tree and the Peaches of Immortality cultivated by Xi Wangmu to mythological attributions to such well-known trees, such as the pine, the cypress, the plum and other types of prunus, the jujube, the cassia, and certain as yet unidentified trees. Mythological ideas about trees also extends to various types of fungi which lived or were thought to live underneath certain of these trees, collecting their mysterious essences.(de Groot 1910:296-306) The pine, cypress, and fir are linked by being similar evergreens. Old pine trees are much admired and venerated.(Eberhard 1986: "sub" "Pine", 237-238) Some examples of Chinese cultural symbology can be found in the poetry of Six Dynasties poet Tao Yuanming (365?–427). According to Yeh Chia-ying, one of Tao's most frequently used metaphors is that of the pine tree: symbol of ability to withstand the adversity of cold winds, to withstand the adversity of frosts, nevertheless retaining its own essential character: a situation which can be compared with that of certain persons of metaphorically similar character. The peach, pear, and plum are linked by being in the genus "Prunus". All three are important in Chinese symbolism.(Eberhard 1986: "sub" "Peach", "Plum", and "Pear") The Fusang tree appears as a more mythological tree, although sometimes claimed to be just like some kind of mulberry.(De Groot 1910, 306) The 'three friends in winter' is a motif frequently seen in Chinese art. The motif consists of pines, bamboos, and plum trees or else plum trees and a stone. The symbolism is that of longevity, constancy, and flowering during winter, before it is yet spring. In Chinese cultural symbology, this motif is considered suitable to send to those who are poor or lonely.(Eberhard 1986: "sub" "Friends, the Three", 118) The three friends of winter motif is known as early as the Song dynasty work the "Jishanji" (霽山集), or, in English, the "Clear Mountain Collection" by Lin Jingxi (林景熙), who lived 1242-1310.

She was built by J I Thornycroft from 1916 to 1917 as the lead ship of her class, launching in September 1917 and completing in December that year. "Spenser" served in the Harwich Force during the rest of the First World War and in the Baltic during the British intervention in the Russian Civil War in 1919. After service at home and in the Mediterranean, she went into reserve in 1925 and was sold for scrap in 1936. The Thornycroft type or "Shakespeare"-class leaders, were like the similar and contemporary Admiralty type (also known as the "Scott" class) were designed to meet a requirement from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, commander of the Grand Fleet, for a large, fast and heavily armed flotilla leader to match and outclass rumoured large German destroyers. The ships had a length of overall, at the waterline and between perpendiculars, with a beam of and a draught of . Design displacement was normal and full load. The ship's machinery consisted of four Yarrow boilers that fed steam at to two sets of Brown-Curtis single-reduction geared-steam turbines, rated at . This gave a design speed of light, which corresponded to about at full load. During sea trials, "Spenser" recorded a speed of . Up to 500 tons of oil fuel could be carried, giving a range of at . The class had a main gun armament consisted of five 4.7 in (120 mm)/45 calibre BL Mark I guns, on CP VI mountings capable of elevating to 30 degrees, arranged in two superfiring pairs fore and aft of the superstructure with the remaining gun positioned on a platform between the funnels. "Shakespeare"s anti-aircraft armament consisted of a single gun on a platform abaft the rear funnel. Torpedo armament consisted of two triple mounts for 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes between the 3-inch AA gun and the rear pair of 4.7-inch guns. Four depth charges were carried. The first two examples of Thornycroft's new large leader, and "Spenser", were ordered in April 1916. A third was ordered in April 1917 and four more in April 1918. "Spenser", named for the poet Edmund Spenser, author of "The Faerie Queene", was laid down on 9 October 1917, was launched on 22 September 1917 and commissioned on 12 December that year. "Spenser" joined the 10th Destroyer Flotilla of the Harwich Force on 15 December 1917 as the second in command of four leaders. On 26 January 1918, "Spenser" collided with a sailing ship, rescuing eight of the sailing ship's crew. On 27 February 1918, "Spenser" was attacked by a German Zeppelin in the southern part of the North Sea. On 1 August 1918, the Harwich Force took part in an operation against German minesweeping forces. The force would tow six Coastal Motor Boats (CMBs) to the edge of the mined areas in the inner German Bight. From there, the CMBs would proceed over the minefields and search for German minesweepers, which they were to attack with torpedoes. The operation was aborted when they were sighted by a Zeppelin, which dropped bombs that near missed several ships, with "Spenser" being one of the ships attacked. The operation was repeated on 10–11 August, with "Spenser" again part of the escort. Air cover was to be provided by flying boats carried on lighters towed behind three of the destroyers, while two more destroyers towed lighters carrying Sopwith Camel fighter aircraft, for use against German Zeppelin airships. When the force reached the minefields, the lack of wind meant that the flying boats could not take off, so the CMBs continued on unescorted, and were subject to sustained attacks by German aircraft, which resulted in three of the CMBs being sunk and the other three being interned in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the Harwich Force, waiting for the CMBs to return, encountered the German airship "L53", and a Camel took off from a lighter towed behind the destroyer and shot down "L53". On 15 August 1918, "Spenser" picked up survivors from the leader and , which had been torpedoed by a German submarine off the Dutch coast. "Spencer" remained a member of the 10th Flotilla at the end of the war on 11 November 1918. On 21 November and 1 December 1918, "Spenser" escorted German U-Boats to Harwich so they could surrender. The Royal Navy's destroyer forces were reorganised after the end of the war, with "Spenser" becoming one of two leaders of the newly established 2nd Destroyer Flotilla, based at Rosyth, and serving as flagship for the Flotilla's Captain (D), in March 1919. In August 1919, the 2nd Destroyer Flotilla, led by "Spenser", was deployed to the Baltic Sea as part of the British operations in the Baltic during the Russian Civil War, relieving the 1st Destroyer Flotilla. On the night of 17/18 August, the 2nd Flotilla, including "Spenser" escorted seven CMBs ona raid on the Red Fleet anchorage at Kronstadt. The CMBs sank the submarine depot ship and damaged the battleship at the cost of three CMBs sunk. Regular duties of the 2nd Flotilla and "Spenser" included patrols and shore bombardment against Bolshevik forces. On 27 October, "Spenser" together with the monitor , the cruisers and , the leaders and and four destroyers took part in a bombardment of the Bolshevik-held Krasnaya Gorka fort, in support of an Estonian offensive against Petrograd, as the fort was a key part of the defences for the cite. Despite the support from the Royal Navy, the Bolsheviks kept control of the fort and the Estonian offensive was stopped. This deployment ended in November 1919, with the flotilla returning to British waters. "Spenser" was again deployed to the Baltic in June 1920 and in September–October 1921, but by this time hostilities between Britain and the Bolshevik forces had ended. "Spenser" took part in a Fleet Review at Spithead of the Atlantic Fleet by Dominion leaders on 3 November 1923, and in the Fleet Review by King George V on 26 July 1924. In September 1924, "Spenser" joined the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla of the Mediterranean Fleet, where she served until May 1925. "Spenser" entered reserve at Portsmouth on 6 June 1925. In 1927–1928, as an economy measure, reserve destroyers were transferred to a centralised Maintenance Reserve, with most reserve destroyers having no crews assigned and only undergoing essential repair work. In fact, however, the resources (both manpower and financial) allocated to the uptake of reserve destroyers was inadequate, and their condition deteriorated, so that most of them never returned to active service. "Spenser" moved from Portsmouth to Chatham in September 1927, remaining in reserve, and from Chatham to Rosyth in April 1933. On 19 August 1936 "Spenser" was one of a number of old warships transferred to the shipbreaker Thos W Ward in exchange for the old ocean liner , which the Royal Navy wanted as a training ship. "Spenser" left Rosyth on 30 September that year for scrapping at Inverkeithing. NGC 1452 NGC 1452 (or NGC 1455) is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus. Located 80 milion light years away, it is one of the farther galaxies of the Eridanus cluster, a cluster of approximately 200 galaxies. It was discovered on October 6, 1785 by William Herschel. The galaxy has a Hubble classification of SB0-a, indicating it is a spiral galaxy with a bar. NGC 1452's bar extends from the core to the middle of the galaxy. It size on the night sky is 2.8' x 1.5' which is proportional to the size of the 65 000 light-years. The galaxy is a member of the NGC 1407 Group, a small group of the galaxies inside the Eridanus Cluster, together with the galaxies NGC 1407, NGC 1400 and others.

Margarita Antonova Margarita Antonova (Russian: Маргарита Антонова, born in 1920) is a former Soviet long track speed skater, who was active in the 1940s. Antonova represented her nation at the World Allround Speed Skating Championships for Women in 1949, finishing 10th overall and at the 1950, finishing 4th. At these championships in 1950 the top-8 were only female riders from the Soviet Union. She also competed in other international competitions. Between 1946 and 1950 she participated 5 times at the national allround championships, with the best result in 1948 and 1949 finishing 5th. Boeing Orbital Flight Test 2 The Boeing Orbital Flight Test 2 (also known as Boe-OFT 2) is a planned repeat of the Boeing's first Orbital Flight Test that was plagued with software problems. The mission will test the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, built by Boeing as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The mission is planned to last eight days, involving a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station (ISS), followed by landing in the western United States. This is the first planned docking of Starliner after the December 2019 flight failed to rendezvous with the station due to an anomaly with the spacecraft's mission elapsed time (MET) clock. The mission is planned to use the hardware, Starliner, and Atlas V that was planned for the crewed flight test. On 6 April 2020, Boeing announced that they would redo the Orbital Flight Test to prove and meet all of the test objectives. A four-month investigation of the first Orbital Flight Test resulted in Boeing proposing another uncrewed flight test of the spacecraft's systems. NASA accepted the proposal from Boeing to do another uncrewed test flight at no cost to the American taxpayers. The cost for the second flight is an estimated $410 million. The Starliner is scheduled for launch no earlier than 13 November 2020. The second Atlas V N22, designated AV-082, will launch the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on its second uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station. The capsule is intended to dock with the space station, then return to Earth to land in the Western United States after an orbital shakedown cruise ahead of Boeing Crewed Flight Test. OFT 2 is the second flight of an Atlas V without a payload fairing and with a dual-engine Centaur upper stage. The dual-engine Centaur utilizes two RL10s and is required for Starliner flights in order to provide a launch trajectory that allows for a safe abort at any point in the mission.

It is currently in the accreditation process with the goal of expansion into a two-year undergraduate program. After Sheldon Jackson College closed in 2007, the title to the campus was transferred to the Sitka Fine Arts Camp in February 2011. In the summer of 2014, Alaska state representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins began deliberating with alumni, teachers and students of Deep Springs College about the possibility of founding a new college on the historic campus in partnership with the Fine Arts Camp. Full-time work to create Outer Coast began in September 2015. In October 2017, the Outer Coast team committed to launching the Outer Coast Summer Seminar in the summer of 2018. The inaugural seminar was held from July to August, drawing in rising high school junior and seniors from Alaska and the continental United States to participate in rigorous college-level courses as well as numerous service projects. The 2019 Summer Seminar was held the following summer, and the 2020 summer seminar is currently in planning stages. Additionally, an "Outer Coast Year" for high school graduates is being planned for the 2020-21 academic year. Outer Coast is modeled on Deep Springs College and its "three pillars" of academics, labor and self-governance. However, it differentiates in that labor is service-oriented in partnership with the community of Sitka and that it was founded as a co-educational institution. In the 2018 Summer Seminar, self-governance was exercised by students having autonomy over rules and regulations, as decided during student body meetings adhering to Robert's Rules of Order. Outer Coast places a strong emphasis on the incorporation of Tlingit and other Native Alaskan perspectives in both the selection of its student body and curriculum.

Stephanie Scuris Stephanie Scuris (born 1931) is an American artist and arts educator, known for her large-scale Constructivist sculptures. She taught at the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art located in Baltimore, MD. Stephanie Scuris was born in Lacedaemonos, Greece. She moved to the United States in 1947 (at age 16), just two years following the end of WWII. She studied under Josef Albers at Yale University, receiving both a BFA and a MFA from the School of Art and Architecture in the late 1950s. Scuris was one of the select group of students Albers introduced to Madeleine and Arthur Lejwa at the Galerie Chalette. While still a student at Yale, she exhibited at their "Structured Sculptures" show of winter, 1960. She exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, MOMA, The Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Yale Art School, worked on major commissions for the Bankers Trust Company and the Salk Laboratories in the 1960s. She was recruited, along with Norman Carlberg, by noted educator and artist Eugene Leake (both alumni of the Yale/Albers MFA program), to revive the sculpture program at the Rinehart School at the Maryland Institute of Art. That revival was, by Ms. Scuris's own account, "all about Bauhaus,” an educational approach that centered on knowledge of the physical manipulation of materials rather than strict figurative representation. In her long career, Scuris has been represented by various galleries, including Galerie Chalette of New York, C. Grimaldis Gallery of Maryland (where she was one of two artists in its inaugural exhibition of 1977), and the Francis Frost Gallery of Rhode Island.

James Barke James William Barke (22 May 1905 - 20 March 1958) was a Scottish novelist. Born in Torwoodlee, near Galashiels, Selkirkshire, Barke was the fourth child of James Bark, a dairyman and Jane, a dairymaid. In 1907, the family moved to Tulliallan in Fife, where he attended Tulliallan parish school. In 1918, they moved to Glasgow, where he attended Hamilton Crescent public school. He trained as an engineer and worked as the manager of a shipbuilding firm. He was involved in local and nationalist politics.. His obituary states that he: "Wrote and felt as a conscious proletarian, in a period when proletarian self-consciousness was particularly strong". His first novel, "The World his Pillow" was published in 1933. He also married Nan Coats in this year. The couple went on to have two sons. After 1945, Barke resigned from his job, and the family moved to Ayrshire, where he worked on "The Immortal Memory," his series of five novels based on the life of Robert Burns.

His "Immortal Memory" quintet was about the life of the poet, Robert Burns.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590177
HMS Lagan HMS "Lagan" (K259) was a of the Royal Navy (RN). "Lagan" was built to the RN's specifications as a Group II River-class frigate. She served in the North Atlantic during World War II. As a River-class frigate, "Lagan" was one of 151 frigates launched between 1941 and 1944 for use as anti-submarine convoy escorts, named after rivers in the United Kingdom. The ships were designed by naval engineer William Reed, of Smith's Dock Company of South Bank-on-Tees, to have the endurance and anti-submarine capabilities of the sloops, while being quick and cheap to build in civil dockyards using the machinery (e.g. reciprocating steam engines instead of turbines) and construction techniques pioneered in the building of the s. Its purpose was to improve on the convoy escort classes in service with the Royal Navy at the time, including the Flower class. After commissioning in December 1942, "Lagan" served in convoy escort missions and participated in anti-submarine warfare exercises off Lough Foyle. On 12 May 1942, "Lagan", with and , sunk the .

The wreck was sold for scrap in Troon on 21 May 1946.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590249
Bill Williams (rugby league) Bill Williams (1899 – 21 November 1927) was Kiwi number 123. He played in 4 test matches for New Zealand debuting in 1919 and last playing for them in 1921. Williams played for the Newton Rangers club in Auckland from 1915 to 1924. Williams was a forward and made his debut for the Newton Rangers senior team in 1915 aged just 16. With so many men going away to fight in the war the senior ranks became populated by very young players and older players as teams struggled to continue to field sides. Auckland played very few representative matches during the war years and he wasn’t to debut for Auckland until 1918. He played in a trial match on 7 September to help pick the Auckland side. He was then picked for the Auckland team and was part of the 45–9 win over Canterbury played at the Auckland Domain in front of 10,000 spectators. In 1919 Williams had a very busy season. He played in a New Zealand trial match on 14 May and was part of the A Team which lost 14–15. He was subsequently selected for the New Zealand team to tour Australia. On 24 May he made his New Zealand debut in a match against Auckland prior to the teams departure for Australia. New Zealand won the match 25–19. Williams was to play in 10 of the 11 tour matches which along with Stan Walters was the most of any of the touring 22. He played in 4 losses to New South Wales (18–23, 9–20, 31–39, and 19–22), 2 losses to Queensland (13–26, 13–16) and wins over Tamworth (21–13), Northern Division (11–8), Rockhampton (23–0), and Toowoomba (42–14). He scored twice in the thrashing of Toowoomba which was the final match of the tour. He played in the second row in all the matches aside from the wins over Tamworth and Northern Division where he played at hooker. A month later the Australian side was to tour New Zealand playing 9 matches including 4 tests. Williams was to become very familiar with the tourists after he played in all 4 tests and a match for Auckland against them. Williams test debut came in the 21–44 defeat at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in front of 8,000 spectators. A week later Williams was part of the victorious New Zealand team in the second test with New Zealand winning 26–10 at Sydenham Park, Christchurch in front of 7,200 fans. Williams scored the first try early in the match after taking a pass from Karl Ifwersen and scoring near the corner. The third test was played in Auckland and Williams played in front of 20,000 spectators at the Auckland Domain. New Zealand went down 23–34. Williams was to play his final test match for New Zealand in the 4th test once again at the Auckland Domain. New Zealand was completely outplayed by the Australians who won by 32 points to 2 in front of 15,000. Following the match Williams was selected to play for Auckland against Australia. For this match Williams moved into the front row but again had a hard time of it with Auckland defeated 8–32 in front of a crowd of 15,000 at the Auckland Domain. In 1920 Williams did not play rugby league but returned to the field in 1921, again wearing the Newton jersey. He was selected to play for New Zealand again on their tour of Australia and he played for them against the Auckland team at the Auckland Domain prior to leaving for Australia. New Zealand won 22–16 with Williams scoring a try just before halftime to take the lead out to 13–8. Williams played in the first 4 tour matches and the final match. New Zealand was thrashed 56 points to 9 by New South Wales with Williams playing in the second row. He was to play all of his matches in this position. He had a happier time of it in the second match against Queensland 25–12 in front of 35,000 spectators. Despite the opponents being from the north the match was played at Sydney Cricket Ground. Williams crossed for a try in the second half. Williams travelled north to Brisbane where New Zealand were defeated by Queensland 16–21 on 11 June at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground. Queensland again defeated New Zealand 8–3 a week later with Williams once again playing in the second row. He wasn’t to play again until the final tour match against Newcastle which New Zealand won 27–14 the Newcastle Showgrounds in very wet conditions. This was to be the last time Williams would pull on the New Zealand jersey. After the tour Williams returned to Auckland where he was to play 3 matches in an Auckland jumper. He played in a 31–8 win over Wellington in what was the first ever match for Auckland on Carlaw Park. He then played in an 18–3 defeat of Hawke’s Bay, and a 58–25 thrashing of King Country. Williams played 3 more seasons for Newton before seemingly giving the game up. In 1924 he did have the bizarre distinction of kicking an unintentional drop goal during a club match against Ponsonby United. Williams was dribbling the ball down the field when he kicked it over the cross bar before falling on it thinking he had scored a try. However the referee had already blown his whistle to award the 2 points for the drop goal rather than the three for the try. Bill Williams died on 21 November 1927 aged just 28 when the 12 ft mullet yacht he was sailing capsized on its way from Milford on Auckland’s North Shore to Islington Bay on Rangitoto Island. Williams who was said to be a good sailor had persuaded Stanley John Easdown to go with him to Islington Bay to go fishing and shooting. They later saw James Bowman at Milford and he asked them if he could also go. The lone survivor (Easdown) went through harrowing conditions both in the water and once ashore on Rangitoto Island in an attempt to find help. A search failed to find either his body or that of James Bowman. Williams was married and living in Takapuna at the time with his wife and family.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590335
Paul Balog, Bishop of Veszprém Paul from the kindred Balog (; died between January and March 1275) was a Hungarian prelate in the 13th century, who served as Bishop of Veszprém from 1263 until his death. Simultaneously, he also held various positions in the royal court. Paul was born around 1227. His parentage is unknown. He had two brothers, including Benedict, who served as "ispán" of Veszprém County in 1269. He was called Benedict of Árma in 1266, after his ownership of a village in Bars County (present-day an uninhabited waste in Málaš, Slovakia). Paul's another, unidentified brother was the father of his namesake nephew, who was elevated into the dignity of Bishop of Pécs at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Benedict had two sons, Michael and Paul. Several historians consider that Paul and his family belonged to the Szécsi branch of the "gens" (clan) Balog, based on the 15th-century Pauline friar Gergely Gyöngyösi's "Vitae fratrum Eremitarum Ordinis Sancti Pauli Primi Eremitae", but it is not without doubt. Historian Gyula Pauler claimed Paul originated from the clan Tétény, but his contemporary, genealogist János Karácsonyi, refused this. György Györffy argued the "Árma branch" of the "gens" Hont-Pázmány consisted of Paul and his brothers, but Pál Engel did not connect them to the widely extended kindred in his genealogical work. Archaeologist Gábor Vékony assumed Paul might be a member of the "gens" Szalók. Nevertheless, the majority of historians accepted that both prelates with the name Paul came from the Balog kindred. According to historian István Hajnal, Paul was identical with that namesake clergyman, who was referred to as royal chaplain and papal vicar in the court of Béla IV of Hungary in 1245. However, that document later proved to be a forgery. It is also possible he is identical with that royal chaplain Paul, who was entrusted by the king to arrange in the possession matters of the "gens" Hahót in Zala County, assisting the work of "ispán" Arnold Hahót in 1237 (of course, in this case, the presumed date of birth cannot be maintained). Paul served as "lector" of the cathedral chapter of Esztergom from around 1251 to 1255, according to Gábor Vékony. Paul elevated into the position of provost of Pressburg (present-day Bratislava, Slovakia) by November 1256, when he was first mentioned in this capacity. He served as vice-chancellor in the royal court of Béla IV from 1259 to 1262. Paul was elected provost of Fehérvár by December 1260, responsible for issuing royal diplomas. He held both dignities until the summer of 1262, when he was replaced by Farkas Bejc as provost and vice-chancellor. Paul Balog succeeded Zlaudus Ják as Bishop of Veszprém at the turn of 1262 and 1263. He was first styled as bishop by a contemporary document in April 1263. Besides that, he was employed in the retinue of Queen Maria Laskarina, wife of Béla IV. He served as chancellor of the queenly court from 1263 until Queen Maria's death in 1270 (in documents, he bore the title for the last time in 1269). He was the first bishop of Veszprém, who held that office; later, the two positions were often filled by the same prelate. In 1262 the hermit Eusebius of Esztergom went to Rome with his companions to meet Pope Urban IV to ask him for approval for founding his own order. He had the support of Thomas Aquinas and Cardinal Stephen I Báncsa. The pope first refused to give Eusebius his permission because of financial conditions and asked Paul Balog to examine the monasteries in 1263. Following investigations, a new regula was given the congregation by Paul, fundamentally contributing to the formal formation of the monastic order, the Pauline Fathers or more officially, the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit. His role was also preserved by the 15th-century Pauline friar Gergely Gyöngyösi in his manuscript. Paul also confirmed the collection right of tithe to the nuns of Veszprém Valley, granted by one of his predecessors, Robert in 1210. King Béla IV restored the previously confiscated revenues and usurped privileges to the Diocese of Veszprém in 1269. The monarch also confirmed the bishop of Veszprém's right of crowning the queen consort of Hungary, which they claimed many times being an established tradition since 1216). Despite that Paul was a faithful supporter of King Béla IV and Queen Maria in the 1260s (he was referred to as a member of the royal council in 1267), which period was characterized by civil war conditions with their eldest son and heir Duke Stephen, the bishop was able to retain his influence after the death of Béla IV and the coronation of Stephen V in May 1270. It is possible that Paul performed the coronation and anointment of Elizabeth the Cuman as queen consort in the same time, but there is no specific source for that. After a short war between Stephen V and his long-time rival, Ottokar II of Bohemia in the spring of 1271, Paul Balog led a Hungarian delegation to Pressburg, where negotiated with Ottokar's envoy, Bruno von Schauenburg, Bishop of Olomouc. The peace treaty was signed on 2 July 1271. After the death of Stephen V, Paul Balog was made chancellor in the royal court of the minor Ladislaus IV. He first appeared in this capacity on 15 November 1272. He was deprived from his office and was replaced by Philip Türje some days after 9 December. However, the elderly archbishop died on 18 December, and Paul regained the position by January 1273. He was again dismissed as chancellor two months later, when Nicholas Kán appeared in this capacity. For the third time, Paul was reinstated as chancellor around June 1273 and now, he was able to retain the dignity until his death. These rapid changes also well presented the chaotic years during the minority of Ladislaus IV, when various baronial factions fought for the supreme power. Paul performed the coronation of Ladislaus' spouse Isabella of Sicily as queen consort sometime between 11 and 16 July 1273, according to her reminiscence from 1280. Paul Balog was last mentioned as a living person on 2 January 1275. He died by March, when the position of Bishop of Veszprém was in a vacancy. He was succeeded by Peter Kőszegi around May 1275. According to the 18th-century historian and librarian György Pray ("Dissertationes histori- co-criticae in Annales veteres Hunnorum, Avarum et Hungarorum", 1774), Paul Balog was identical with the chronicler Anonymus (or Master P.), author of the "Gesta Hungarorum". Archaeologist Gábor Vékony shared this viewpoint. Consequently, Vékony claimed the work was completed in the second half of the 13th century, unlike the majority of modern scholars, who argued Anonymus was a notary of Béla III of Hungary (r. 1172–1196). The chronicler dedicated his work to a former schoolmate "the most venerable man N", this address implies Anonymus had to be a prelate. Vékony argued Anonymus (Paul) deliberately wrote his "apocryphal "gesta"" as if he were a contemporary of Béla I of Hungary (r. 1060–1063). The author knew Veszprém, Komárom and the surrounding area well, where from Paul and his family originated. During his tenure as its chancellor, Queen's Chancellery issued a charter for Paul's brother Benedict in 1265, in which the term is included ""de genere Turda"", referring to the "gens" Tardos (or Tordos), which owned lands in the same area. Beside that, the name "Turda" appears exclusively in the "Gesta Hungarorum". Vékony argued the phraseological similarity (place names, geographical names) between the "Gesta Hungarorum" and the establishing charter of the abbey of Százd proves that Paul Balog was present, when Béla IV transcribed the latter in 1267. The historian added, similarities between the work and Béla's "Tartar letter" (c. 1248) also proves that Paul belonged to the close retinue of the Hungarian monarch by that time. Vékony found phraseological identities also between the "gesta" and his "regula" provided for the Pauline friars in 1263. Based on his hypothesis, Vékony considered that Paul Balog attended a foreign "universitas" sometime between 1237 and 1248. Anonymus had a detailed knowledge of literacy works, for instance, he had found pleasure in reading the "Trojan History", a work attributed to Dares Phrygius. During Paul's tenure (perhaps he himself was responsible for its establishment), there was an illustrious cathedral chapter school in Veszprém (but not "universitas", as Vékony incorrectly claimed), containing a sizable library and archives. However, Palatine Peter Csák's troops (as enemy of the Kőszegis, thus also Peter Kőszegi, during the 1270s civil war) devastated and pillaged the whole Diocese of Veszprém in 1276, the school was never rebuilt. According to the account of the late Paul Balog's namesake nephew, then a canon at Veszprém, his own damages amounted to around 4,000 marks, including the loss of his books (1000 marks), which he "inherited from his progenitors". Vékony argued these manuscripts and chronicles were initially part of the elder Paul's collection, who used these works for writing the "Gesta Hungarorum". Vékony claimed Paul Balog (Anonymus) knew and despised the "gesta" of his contemporary Ákos. Also a former chancellor in the queenly court, they had personal conflicts each other, in addition to various lawsuits between the Diocese of Veszprém and the Provostry of Óbuda (where Ákos was provost) over numerous possessions. Thus, Paul Balog had to wrote his "Gesta Hungarorum" after Ákos' work, most presumably in 1273, when he was replaced as royal chancellor by Nicholas Kán for a relatively longer time. Paul's confrontation with his successor (who belonged to the rival baronial group in that time) contributed to that the author of "Gesta Hungarorum" indicated the "gens" Kán of "unknown origin" (while "magister" Ákos derived them from the lineage of "gyulas"). While Paul was a partisan of the "gens" Csák during the 1270s feudal anarchy, Ákos stood with their rival, the Kőszegi family (he possibly intentionally placed their arrival to the age of Grand Prince Géza [r. 972–997], emphasizing its ancient origin, while in fact, they only came to Hungary in the 1140s). In addition to Ákos, Vékony claimed that Simon of Kéza, author of the "Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum" knew and used Anonymus' work (against the mainstream position). To substantiate the claim, Vékony argued Simon attended the chapter school of Veszprém between 1273 and 1276 (where read the "Gesta Hungarorum"), before moving to a foreign "universitas". After the devastation of Veszprém in 1276, Anonymus' "gesta" somehow went abroad and disappeared for centuries. Several historians, including Gyula Kristó, László Veszprémy and Gábor Thoroczkay did not accept Gábor Vékony's theory, also refusing the "Gesta Hungarorum"'s assumed time of compilation to the time of King Béla IV. In addition, Thoroczkay argued Vékony did not take into account a number of facts which would have contradicted his theory (for instance, that Anonymus had a detailed knowledge of the lands along the upper courses of the river Tisza, in the opposite part of the kingdom from that region, where Paul Balog lived and operated). His text comparisons are arbitrarily selected examples to match the identification of Paul with the chronicler, and there are also phraseological similarities with other documents, which Paul had nothing to do with, as Thoroczkay added.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590337
Liga IV Bistrița-Năsăud Liga IV Bistrița-Năsăud is the county football division of Liga IV for clubs based in Bistrița-Năsăud County, România. The competition is ranked as the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system and it is competed amongst 16 teams divided into 2 series, the winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending of the result of a promotion play-off that is disputed against a winner of the neighboring counties series. In 1968, along with the territorial reorganization of the country, but also due to the large number of requests, the Romanian Football Federation proposes a competitive system in which each county has its own football championship, which will activate the former teams in the regional championship as well as the racing and town championship teams from the previous edition. The champions of each county association play one another in a play-off to promote to the Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590342
George Gibson (Commissary General) George Gibson, 1775-1861, was the United States Army's first Commissary General of Subsistence, holding the office from 1818 to 1861. He served as an infantry officer during the War of 1812, then briefly as Quartermaster General, before being appointed Commissary General. When he died he was the oldest serving officer in the army. Gibson was the son of Colonel George Gibson, commanding officer of the 1st Virginia State Regiment during the Revolutionary War, and later killed in action at the Battle of Wabash 1791 during the Northwest Indian War. When the army expanded in 1808, Gibson was commissioned captain from civilian life in the 5th Infantry. He was promoted to major in the 7th Infantry in 1811. During the War of 1812, Gibson was taken prisoner of war at the battle of Queenston Heights in 1812. Later exchanged, he was in 1813 promoted to lieutenant colonel in the 5th Infantry. After the end of the war, the large reduction in army size led to his honorable discharge from his regiment. Gibson was, however, in 1816 appointed one of two Quartermaster Generals with colonel's rank. He served in the First Seminole War under Andrew Jackson who commended him for his achievements. A reorganization of the Department of War created a distinct military organization in charge of army victualling, and in 1818 Gibson became the first Commissary General of Subsistence with colonel's rank; an office he held until the beginning of the Civil War. He died in 1861, 86 years old and the oldest serving officer in the army. Gibson was brevetted brigadier general in 1826, for ten years service in the same grade, and major general in 1848 for meritorious conduct during the Mexican War. Gibson was a close friend of General Winfield Scott, going back to the War of 1812, and of President Andrew Jackson going back to the First Seminole War. He never married; celebrating his bachelorhood as president of the "Hope Club", a haunt for unmarried officers in Washington. Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, was named after Gibson.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590397

Ngarolamo Sultan Ngarolamo (b. c. 1590-d. July 1639) was the eighth Sultan of Tidore in Maluku Islands. He was also known as Sultan Alauddin or Kaicili Ngaro (Naro), ruling from 1627 to 1634. Due to a combination of factors he was deposed after a short reign and was eventually killed at the instigation of the Sultan of Ternate. Kaicili (prince) Ngaro or Ngarolamo was the only son of Sultan Mole Majimu, being born around 1590. He was consequently groomed as Mole's successor and was co-ruling Tidore in the 1610s since his father was already quite old. Mole complained about the headstrong character of his son, who made unauthorized efforts to marry the widowed Queen of Jailolo, a princess from the rival Sultanate of Ternate. He was also a warrior of some note; in 1614 he raided Morotai, ostensibly to prevent it from moving over to Ternate and the VOC. This irritated the Spanish allies since he killed two baptized rulers and enslaved numbers of Christian people. Nor was he entirely popular among the Tidorese elite due to his habit of taking advantage of the wives of married men. His cousin and rival Kaicili Gorontalo, on the other hand, commanded much respect, though he stayed in Ternate. When the old Mole Majimu passed away in 1627, Ngarolamo nevertheless succeeded to the throne. Like his predecessors he was dependent on the Spanish who were established in a number of fortresses on Tidore Island and were the arch-rivals of the Dutch East India Company who dominated most of Maluku. There was a state of low-intensive warfare between Tidore and Ternate and their respective European allies. Early in his reign, Ngarolamo irritated the Spanish authorities by forbidding his subjects to sell cloves to the Spanish captain of Tidore, as had previously been the case. He also negotiated with Sultan Hamza of Ternate who wished to marry his daughter. The Dutch, hearing this, made efforts to stop the marriage between an ally and an enemy, and managed to postpone it. Captain Pedro de Heredia considered that Ngarolamo leagued with the Dutch, while many Tidorese grandees also wanted the get rid of the Sultan. Finally Hamza of Ternate brought forward Kaicili Gorontalo, who was said to be the most legitimate heir to the kingship, and helped him over to Tidore Island. Gorontalo was acknowledged as lawful ruler with the approbation of Captain Heredia in April 1634. He and his associates then attacked Ngarolamo who still had followers in the royal settlement Soa Siu. Though reputed to be a good and valiant warrior, the Sultan had to flee his kingdom in the end. The ever-scheming Hamza gave him sanctuary in Ternate, provided that he finally gave him his daughter in marriage. The Dutch were discontented with the self-willed kingmaking activities of Hamza which might increase the powers of Ternate in a way detrimental to Company interests, but there was little they could do. With the new and the deposed Tidorese Sultans both indebted to him, Hamza could pursue his interests in the periphery of Maluku with little interference from Tidore. The Spanish authorities in the Philippines were also less than happy about Heredia's overbearing policy in supporting Ngarolamo's expulsion. Ngarolamo stayed on in Malayu in Ternate for some years, but always hoped to regain his throne. In his debauched and impoverished state he began to negotiate with the Spanish, asking to stay among them. The Spanish authorities in Manila, on their part, entertained advanced plans to reinstall Ngarolamo as Sultan. Hamza got wind of this and realized that the old king was a potential threat and might be used for Spanish machinations. He and the Ternatan grandees therefore decided his death in 1639 with the full knowledge of Sultan Gorontalo. Since Hamza did not want the regicide to take place in Ternate, the ex-ruler was brought to Jailolo in Halmahera on a boat, ostensibly to make a residence for him there. During the passage, three Tidorese boats showed up. As the crews dared not come near him out of respect, they shot him with their muskets from a distance. The body of Ngarolamo was brought to Ternate and buried on 15 July. However, Gorontalo himself was in turn murdered by a Spanish delegation some weeks later. Ngarolamo's son Saidi was appointed Sultan in his stead.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590617
Thunderstrock Festival Thunderstrock Festival is a heavy metal music festival which takes place in Ranchi of Jharkhand, India. Thunderstrock is a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and charity concert and its idea is to support and encourage the live bands along with the hard rock and heavy metal music listeners of Ranchi and the state of Jharkhand in India. Simultaneously, the idea is to donate the income generated from the sale of tickets to groups (or NGOs) working for the welfare of society. The idea of Thunderstrock emerged back in the year 2008, the idea was to generate funds for Jharkhand Rock Music Association (JRMA) so that JRMA could further plan concerts for rock bands of Ranchi. The initiative was further taken up by band members from Kaalmantra, Genesis and Sonu Chhetry from the band Sparsh, which were the prominent bands of that time. The first season of Thunderstrock was held in August 2008 at Hotel Ashok in Ranchi. As the initiators for the concept of Thunderstrock, Kaalmantra and Genesis took up the stage that year. These bands were already famous with the rock music lovers of Ranchi, hence the footfall for the concert was immense and the show managed to fetch around Rs. 25,000 (around $580, according to exchange rates for 2008) which was later donated to JRMA by Mr K.C. Shashidhar, the Chief General Manager of NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development). The second season happened in July 2009. Kaalmantra, Genesis and JRMA being the organizers this time. The event was brought forward with an agenda of spreading awareness among youth on the evils of alcoholism and child labour. Along with that, the festival was organized with an intention to support Yuwa-India which is an NGOs that empowers girls by combating child marriage, illiteracy and human trafficking in Jharkhand through football and education. This season also featured bands like Hypnotize, Kaos and none other than Sparsh which was the leading rock band of Ranchi back then. The show was a huge success and again it collected Rs. 25,000 ($543, according to the exchange rates of 2010) and a donation was made to Yuwa-India after the show. By the end of 2010s came the downfall in the audience count for rock and metal music in Ranchi. This really affected the footfall of the audience in the festival especially in a city like Ranchi which is a small city and has not much of people listening to rock and metal music. Also, the initiators of the festival got jobs and moved on leaving the festival for a break. Even though Thunderstrock as a proper festival never happened in these years but the concept and the idea were used to organize other small scale DIY event in the city. The gap was witnessed with the rise of other Do-It-Yourself (DIY) festivals in the city which followed the same momentum in which this festival was started. The fourth season happened on 7th September 2014 and from here on, Highway 69's vocalist Tarang Kerketta took the initiative of organizing this festival. For the first time, it was organized in an open-air style which experienced a footfall of around 2500. The season featured bands like Death Note (present-day Reciprocal), Destiny (present-day Iris 13), Virus, Error 404, Highway 69, Genesis and the leading rock band of Darjeeling named Head Motif. The donations of that year went to Harmu Football Academy. Having organized this festival on such a large scale for the first time, the next season in 2015 could not be conducted as there was a shortage of funds as the festival has got no backing from sponsors which is the major barrier to organizing this festival annually. This one year gap in 2015 led to the failure of organizing this festival in 2016 and 2017 as well. Also, a reason being that the initiator Tarang Kerketta was very much occupied with Highway 69 shows across India. After four years of silence, the thunder struck again and Thunderstrock festival took place on 23rd September 2018 in which What Escapes Me from Kolkata was the headliners along with Astitva (present-day Existence), Genesis and Highway 69 in the line-up. Unlike the previous year, where the festival was advertised and promoted in the newspapers and social media, the festival in 2018 lacked in these aspects. Also on the same day, there was a cultural festival going in St. Xavier's College, Ranchi which pulled a lot of audience football. Even though the festival experienced a strong footfall of 1500 people and it is actually a huge number in a city like Ranchi and especially in a time when the metal music scene is completely down in all over India and people usually don't turn up to attend or buy the tickets to a metal music concert. The 2019 line-up had the initiators of this festival that is Sparsh (rebranded as Sparsh 2.0) from Ranchi, modern metal band Reciprocal from Ranchi who have performed in 2014 under the name Death Note, math-rock (with Djent elements) band Bipolar Shadows all the way from Gangtok, Sikkim, progressive metal band Cross Affinity from Bhubaneswar, Odisha and folk metal band Atript as the headliners from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. The bands Bipolar Shadows and Cross Affinity were chosen by the festival's manager, Tarun Paul Kachhap along with the band members of Highway 69 based on their performance at Battle of Bands competitions held in Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar and Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad respectively. This time the festival was organized in a new location which had a parking space problem along with that on the same day (just like the previous year), there was a cultural festival going in St. Xavier's College, Ranchi just which pulled a lot of audience football. The festival experienced a downfall in the audience and had 700-800 audience count. The Festival today stands as a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) heavy metal charity concert in Eastern India which is completely funded by the organizers and the profits are used for charitable purposes. The festival is dedicated to bringing independent and newly emerging live acts based in rock, metal and it's sub-genres along with helping the groups and NGOs working in the welfare of the society. The festival aims at making itself as a popular music festival just like NH7 Weekender, Bangalore Open Air, Control Alt Delete, Great Indian Rock, Independence Rock Festival etc and to highlight Ranchi on India's music concert map. They are now gearing up for 2020, with bringing the first-ever Battle of Bands competition organized by Thunderstrock Festival called "#RoadToThunderstrock". Road To Thunderstrock (often stylized as #RoadToThunderstrock) is a band contest which was started in 2020. The participating bands have to compete against each other at the Road To Thunderstrock and shortlisted top two finalists perform as the opening act during the Thunderstrock Festival where the best one is declared as the winner of the festival. The very first season of the competition was scheduled to be held in April 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India the country experienced a nationwide lockdown which postponed the event. The festival received entries not only from their home ground Ranchi or the nearby city of Jamshedpur but from many cities like Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Delhi, Gangtok, Kolkata, Shillong and even from the neighbouring country of Nepal. As the festival is a charitable event so there is no cash price money or recording deals that can be offered to the winners. The winners receive is a medal and certificate and the festival is looking forward to reimbursing the travel, food and stay expenses of the finalist bands if the budget allows them. Thunderstrock Festival was started with the initiative to promote music as well as to help the people in need. Every year the income generated from the festival is donated to various groups and organizations that are working in the welfare of the society. At the early years of the festival, the money was donated to Jharkhand Rock Music Association (JRMA) so that JRMA can organize more music festivals that can promote the live music culture in Jharkhand. Later on, the festival worked with Yuwa-India in 2009-2010. Since 2014, the festival is working with Harmu Football Academy and donates the income generated to the academy who in return buy the necessary sports equipment for the players in the academy and the festival also gives free entry to the students of the academy at the festival.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63590687

Richard Clapton – The Definitive Anthology The Definitive Anthology is the third greatest hits album by Australian rock musician Richard Clapton. The album was released in October 1999 to coincide with his induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame at the ARIA Music Awards of 1999. The album covers songs from his career in chronological order, including two new tracks. The album peaked at number 28 on the ARIA Charts. Talking about the track selection Clapton said "It was not a simple project, as there is so much music and culling it was painful at times. But it was a lot of fun. I looked back at my earlier songs when I was compiling this and I found that the naivete of some of them was really quite cute. I had a lot of fun with it." Warner Music said "One of the beauties of the "Richard Clapton Definitive Anthology" is simply the timelessness of his songs. The music, the song structures, the imagery and that distinctive voice all combines to create a sense of warmth and knowing, but doesn't allow any song to be pigeon-holed into any particular time frame." Continuing to say "From the opening bar of track one, to the final moments of the album, this is an astonishing bed of work from a singer, performer and master songwriter- an artist who has been as much a part of the musical lives of hippies, surfers, inner city dwellers and corporate suits. There is no song that you will skip past and no song that is not familiar. It's actually amazing just how many times you'll find yourself singing along to songs that you didn't realise you knew. Such is the power and subtle skills of Richard's words and blissful waves of gentle rock."	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591030

Lego DC: Shazam!: Magic and Monsters Lego DC Shazam!: Magic and Monsters is an American direct-to-video computer-animated superhero action-adventure comedy film based on the DC Comics and Lego brands produced by DC Entertainment, The Lego Group and Netflix]] and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. It is the tenth Lego DC Comics film. The film was released on digital on April 28, and on Blu-ray/DVD on June 16, 2020. A new hero known as Shazam has made his debut and is attracting the attention of the media for his sudden arrival and polite mannerisms. Unbeknownst to the public, he is actually a young orphan boy named Billy Batson. When Superman begins to grow jealous of Shazam, his hope is restored when he gets the chance to fend off the Monster Society of Evil when they attempt to steal food for their master Mister Mind, though he is eventually forced to call upon Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern for help. Witnessing this, Shazam decides to aid the Justice League, demonstrating his powers to them in the process and forcing the Monster Society to retreat. Impressed by Shazam's capabilities, the League invite him to the Hall of Justice where they offer Shazam membership. Shazam dismisses their offer, believing that they will reject him if they discover his true age. Consulting The Wizard who gave him his powers for advice, Shazam is told that relationships are built on trust and that he should be more open to the Justice League. Sensing a disturbance, the Wizard then tells Shazam to go help the Justice League when they follow the Monster Society to their warehouse hideout, which Shazam agrees to do. Unfortunately, Mister Mind manages to capture the Justice League and, using a chemical concocted by Doctor Sivana, transforms them into children, making them more susceptible to his mind control. Although de-aged, Batman manages to avoid being mind-controlled and escapes to the Batcave with Shazam's help. Learning that Batman is reluctant to trust him, Shazam reveals his secret identity to Batman while also recounting his origin story to him: After , Billy Batson continued to go about his daily routine, while also generously helping out others in need (whom, unbeknownst to him, are the Wizard in disguise). Billy is eventually led into a subway station, where he boards a bizarre-looking train that takes him to the Rock of Eternity, where he meets the wizard in person. The wizard explains that he disguised himself as ordinary citizens to test Billy's purity of heart and see if he was worthy of becoming his new champion after the previous champion, Black Adam became corrupted by his power and was sealed away. Accepting the Wizard's offer, Billy is gifted his new powers and proceeds to spend his days as Shazam, while also enjoying the perks of being an adult. Billy then explains that despite everything, he still longs for a family of his own. Relating to Billy's status as an orphan, Batman reveals his secret identity to Billy and explains that he too is an orphan and becomes more trusting of Billy. Across the world, the mind-controlled Justice Leaguers proceed to steal large quantities of food for Mister Mind, but one by one they are located by Batman and Shazam and freed from Mister Mind's control. Reunited, the Justice League devise a plan to infiltrate the Monster Society's lair by pretending to capture Batman and Shazam and bring them to Mister Mind. Unfortunately, they are swiftly exposed and forced to fight their way to Mister Mind, ultimately defeating the Monster Society. When Shazam and the Justice League encounter Mister Mind, they discover that he has undergone metamorphosis and grown into a giant moth. The group attempt to escape to the Rock of Eternity to gain help from the Wizard, but Mister Mind follows them and proceeds to devour the Rock, resulting in him increasing in size and freeing Black Adam from his imprisonment. Black Adam betrays Mister Mind by using his powers to reduce Mister Mind to his caterpillar form and send him hurtling through space. Seeking vengeance against the Wizard, Black Adam attacks the Rock and the Justice League is overwhelmed by him. The Wizard attempts to hold Black Adam back long enough for Shazam and the Justice League to escape back to Earth, while reminding Shazam about the power of Zeus. Returning to Earth, knowing Black Adam will be coming for them, the Justice League make preparations and rebuild their vehicles to account for their reduced stature. Arriving on Earth, Black Adam announces his intentions to rule over it with an iron fist. The Justice League and Shazam arrive and face him, but he still proves to be too much for them to handle and destroys their vehicles. Remembering the Wizard's advice and how Black Adam was able to depower Mr Mind, Shazam shares his power among the Justice League, enhancing their abilities and returning them to their normal age, while revealing his secret identity to them in the process. The Justice Leaguers are not upset by Billy's true age and tell him that the age of a hero doesn't matter as long as they do the right thing. Using their enhanced abilities, the Justice League is able to defeat Black Adam. Billy then reabsorbs his powers from the League and Black Adam, restoring his Shazam powers, while Black Adam's powers are taken in the process, reducing him to a mortal man. With Black Adam arrested and their adulthood restored, the Justice League show their gratitude by reuniting Billy with his sister Mary and their Uncle Dudley. In a mid-credit scene, Lobo manages to apprehend Mister Mind and plans to collect a $1,000,000,000,000 bounty placed on his head, much to Mister Mind's dismay.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591088
Gallows on the Sand Gallows on the Sand is a 1956 novel by Morris West. It was the first novel he published under his own name. He later claimed it was written in seven days for $250 in order to pay a tax bill after he had had a nervous breakdown. West credited the book as launching his career as a novelist. However a later review of the author's career dismissed it as a "potboiler". It was serialised for radio. The book was re-released in 1963 as part of Angus and Robertson's Pacific Book series. Historican Renn Lundigan hunts for treasure off the Great Barrier Reef. The treasure is minted Spanish gold in a sunken galleon. Renn has to deal with islander Johnny Akimoto, gambling house owner Manny Mannix and beautiful young scientist Pat Mitchell. The "Argus" said "in spite of a tendency to the rather slick "Randy Stone" radio style, it is a bright, exciting yarn, guaranteed to take your mind off workaday cares. " The "Pacific Island Monthly" called it "a buried treasure trifle." The same magazine later said it was "one of the first novels written by this world wide, best-seller author and long before he found his metier in the by-ways of Roman Catholicism," adding the book "only goes to prove how far a novelist with what it takes can travel in seven years.

The Youth Cafe The Youth Café is a not-for profit pan-African youth organization that was founded in 2012 and works with young men and women in Africa and around the world to, to foster community resilience, propose innovative solution, drive social progress, enable youth empowerment and inspire political change. The Youth Café is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. The Youth Café's work is based on its current strategy, its Youth Manifesto (they facilitated its creation in Kenya during the 2017 general elections and required that the next president needed a youth manifesto) and the African Union Youth Charter (a political and legal document which serves as the strategic framework that gives direction for youth empowerment and development at continental, regional and national levels) These guiding documents looks at today's youth bulge as an opportunity for development and economic growth. This drives their work for implementing multidisciplinary and multi-perspective projects including Peace and Security, Preventing Violent Extremism; Governance and Political Inclusion(Remittances and Accountability); Culture, Arts, and Sports; Education and Skills; Business, Job Creation and Entrepreneurship; Universal Health Coverage; Environmental Preservation and Climate Change. Their projects have reached many youths. In addition to their stand-alone programs, they maintain long-standing collaborations with partners worldwide. Their work is regularly cited by media and government bodies, and used by firms, investors, philanthropic leaders and policymakers such as Participedia, Apolitcal, Global Innovation Exchange, Ethelo, Global Donor Platform For Rural Development and UNODC. They also produce Youth Cafe, a youth TV program on KTN that host debates on matters and issues pertaining youths. The Youth Cafe was launched in 2012 by a group of motivated young people who were selected to give input to the United Nations High Level Panel of Eminent Persons on Post 2015 Agenda. Together they devised the model that The Youth Cafe utilizes today. This partnership is a unique, pioneering collaboration in the field of international development. Bolstered by grassroots knowledge, the organization is to dedicated to bringing hope to young people. 75% of the African population is below the age of 35. For Africa to develop, focus, recognition and support must be on youths. Youths can be a positive force for development and their potential can be utilized and developed by quality education and skills improvement; employment opportunities; empowerment and entrepreneurship; good governance; health and well-being. Without strategic investments in the areas above, then the demographic dividend of Africa will not be achieved. All these rights are guaranteed in the Kenyan Constitution in the Bill of Rights. Article 55 of the Kenyan Constitution is the “youth section”, which focuses on access to relevant education and training, politics in relations to youths, employment and protection. Article 43 of the Kenyan Constitution provides for among others, the right to healthcare (including reproductive health), sanitation and education. Additionally, the National Youth Policy, East African Community youth policy, the African Youth Charter and international provisions under the United Nations, guarantees the rights of youths. More often than not, youths do not enjoy these rights. This among others was the gap The Youth Café was initiated to fill. The Youth Café's Vision is “Towards an equitable and fair society in which young people enjoy full social, economic and political rights” The Youth Cafe aims to amplify, connect, and empower the voices of the young in critical issue of the current times. The Board main role is supporting the senior leadership team at the secretariat to ensure The Youth Café is both sustainable and growing. Their roles include: challenging The Youth Café's activities vis-à-vis legal and regulatory requirements, ambassadorial and providing strategic guidance. However, the secretariat (young professionals) solely makes the executive decisions. The Board comprises a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 non-executive directors in addition to three executive directors: The Executive Director, Finance Director and Secretariat Coordinator. After three years they all seek re-appointment. It is compulsory for the Head of Operations and Finance and the Head of Partnerships to turn up at every meeting, while, section leads are invited to put forward their section's accomplishments, challenges and future development on a rotational basis. They meet annually in February, May and November with a half day strategy session yearly. To represent the youth, at least three board members are under the age of 35. Made up of youths (young professionals) between 18 and 35 years. They include operational secretariat consisting of staff, consultants, part-time contractors, interns, and volunteers. They are the cardinal decision-making body that makes all project decisions and executive programs at The Youth Cafe, as per the motto “for youth by youth”. The Executive Director, the Head of Partnerships and the Head of Operations & Finance are the senior most and reporting to them, are the coordinator and Technical Coordinator, Main secretariat and Section Leads. From their headquarters in Nairobi, projects are executed across Africa. The Youth Café's Group of Friends, is a community of international organizations that actively promotes the objectives and work of The Youth Cafe at the local, regional and global levels. Their input, advice and support are taken into account in all key aspects in a dialogue-based and consensus building approach. Currently they include individuals, 120 United Nations Member agencies, and international organizations representing all cultures, continents and societies. They meet two to four times a year (at virtual and on-site regular meetings) to deliberate about The Youth Cafe's activities and provide inputs. They Group of Friends include: AISEC, the Hewlett Foundation, SOS Villages, Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Global Friends in Action and others. The Youth's Café deals with cross-cutting issues, but majors on eight priority areas with a multidisciplinary and multi-perspective approach. The pillars directs and focuses the development and implementation of their programs and initiatives. They play an integral role in socio-economic and political empowerment of youths in Africa as well as reducing youth deprivation. The pillars are: Violence by extremist groups (Al-Shabab, Boko Haram and others have sparked of a humanitarian situation among others Lake Chad Basin. Consequently, over 2.5 million people have been displaced causing economic dis-empowerment and inability to access basic services. For stability, development and humanitarian actors, as well as the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has stepped in to help and the EU has invested over EUR 700 million. In spite of all this, there is minimal progress due to lack of coordination on the ground, and a dearth of information about the stabilization strategies. UNSCR 2250 recognizes the role of young people towards stability, as well as the Stabilization Strategy (adopted in August 2018 by the Lake Chad Basin Commission Member States and endorsed by the AU Peace & Security Council in December, 2018) which focuses on bridging the gap between political will, financing and reality of progress on the ground. One of The Youth Café's strategic objective is, ensuring “a transparent, democratic and accountable environment” which in turn leads to, “political stability, effective governance and reduced fragility”. The AU has developed the African Governance Architecture. Though, internationally, the International Aid Transparency Initiative and locally social auditing and budget reviews already exist; further collaborations among stakeholders can be increased. Since youths are underrepresented in governance, The Youth Cafe has invested in skills development useful in governance-enabling activities and increasing accountability. CAS can tackle major universal challenges – such as social integration, conflict prevention and resolution, protection of cultural heritage and prevention of violent extremism. With an estimated growth rate of 7% global GDP, culture and creative arts industry if well harnessed, can contribute to economic growth, socio-economic stability and sustainable development. The 2007 Africa Strategy (JAES), proposes a stronger cultural cooperation and EUR 40 million was allocated under the European Development Fund towards that. Visible initiatives like creating networks, financing and training on the necessary skills will improve the careers of CAS professionals. To prepare youths for the future, they need skills and competencies in addition to accessing quality education. The Youth Café plans to provide high quality education and training systems, that are efficient and that facilitate young people's access and integration. In line with UNESCO 2030 goals, and international commitments, support must be given to relevant stakeholders who provides quality education that equip youths with skills and competencies, to take on future challenges and opportunities in the world. Multi-stakeholder collaborations such as VET, Global Education and STEM are vital in imparting “21st century skills” and creating innovative learning environments. Research has shown that these collaborations, improve international competitiveness, innovation and productivity. Studies have shown that the demographic dividend is an education-triggered dividend and as such investments must be directed towards education as well as policy change. Three million jobs are currently created a year in Sub-Saharan Africa, however, 18 million jobs a year will need to be created by 2035. Youths must be uniquely positioned and empowered to stimulate innovation, creativity and create social capital in key sectors such as agribusiness and renewable energy in order to shape a shared future and economy. Of concern are the gaps in support services for young entrepreneurs, and limited and/or no knowledge of and access to current flagship initiatives. Currently, the worldwide adolescents’ population is 1.2 billion (10–19 years old), and this number will rise through 2050. Nearly, 90% live in low- and middle-income countries with limited knowledge, information and access to quality health services and are thus unable to deal with their health issues that are both preventable and treatable. Health service providers do not have tailored services nor offer specific health needs to adolescents with factors such as: religion, age, ethnicity, sex, disability, gender identity, wealth, marital status, location sexual orientation and, migratory status and other characteristics aggravating the situation. Due to this, adolescents have not benefited from the halved mortality rate (during the Millennium Development Goal period) by younger children with more than 1.2 million adolescent deaths yearly. Remittances in Africa helps reduce poverty and generate domestic resources and is thus a key area to The Youth Cafe. aims to reduce the transaction costs of migrant remittances to under 3% and eliminate corridors with costs above 5%. Currently, costs stagnate around 7% affecting young people who mostly are 'undocumented', 'unbanked', and poor. This is despite the fact that youths are at the forefront in the use of new technologies like mobile money. The EU in 2014 supported the AU in the establishment of the African Institute for Remittances (AIR), which deals in promoting reforms in legal and regulatory frameworks. Additionally, they provide statistical data (SendMoneyAfrica comparison database). More information and transparency about remittance fees and user-friendly applications is needed. The main causes of climate change in Africa is land / water management and soil deterioration. The Great Green Wall initiative, was launched in 2007 as the AU's flagship initiative to decelerate Sahara Desert expansion, deal with land degeneration, improve food security, and promote transformational adaptability of communities to adjust to climate change. An articulate mapping can help further advance the GGW. Increased support for agroforestry can: offer incentives for youth to live in rural areas and partake in activities fostering the viable use of natural resources; alleviate the effect of climate change and also provide livelihood opportunities for youth in the region.

Buried (performance art) Buried is a conceptual and performative work of critical, social and political content by artist Abel Azcona. The performance artwork was created in 2015 through a public and participatory performance, or happening, on the esplanade of Franco's Monument to the Fallen in Pamplona. Azcona invited dozens of relatives of Republicans who were shot, persecuted or disappeared during the Spanish Civil War. Descendants of victims make up the installation in a row in front of the monument, all symbolically buried with soil from the garden of one of the participants, where his relatives had been shot. In 2016 the city of Pamplona invited Azcona to show his work inside the Monument and the project was recreated inside the Monument, which had been converted into an exhibition hall, under the name of "Unearthed: A retrospective view on the political and subversive work of the artist Abel Azcona." The exhibition brought together the "Buried" project and fragments of all of Azcona's works. In 2016, Azcona coordinated a new performative action, or happening, with relatives of those who were shot in the "Pozos de Caudé". Under the name of "Desafectos", Azcona formed a wall with the relatives as a complaint, next to the wells outside the city of Teruel, where more than a thousand people had been shot and thrown into the wells over the course of three days during the Civil War.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591266
Best Years 1974–2014 Best Years 1974-2014 (Subtitled The 40th Anniversary Collection) is a 3CD + DVD greatest hits album by Australian rock musician Richard Clapton. The album was released in August 2014 to coincide with the release of Clapton's autobiography of the same name. The album covers songs from his career, (commencing in 1972, despite the title) in chronological order and includes a live DVD from "The Best Years of Our Lives" tour form 1989, available of DVD for the first time. The album peaked at number 36 on the ARIA Charts. Shane Pinnegar from 100% Rock called the album "a magnificent listen" and gave the album 9/10 saying "Clapton's songs are timeless and wonderfully evocative, and this box set...is a timely reminder of the many coulda-woulda-shoulda been hits he has to his name." Ian McFarlane considers Clapton "to be one of the most important song writers this country has ever produced" and said "This is a magnificent listening experience".	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591374
Olamkicept Olamkicept, also known as soluble gp130Fc or sgp130Fc (other designations are FE 999301, FE301, TJ301) is an immunosuppressive drug candidate, which selectively blocks activities of the cytokine Interleukin-6, which are mediated by the soluble Interleukin-6. Interleukin-6 is a cytokine, which plays a dominant role in the regulation of the immune response and also in autoimmunity. Furthermore, Interleukin-6 has been demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of metabolism and body. Interleukin-6 also has many activities on neural. It was invented by the German biochemist Stefan Rose-John and it was further developed by the biotech company Conaris, which gave an exclusive world-wide license to the Swiss-based biopharmaceutical company. In December 2016, Ferring and the biotech company I-MAB signed a licensing agreement granting I-MAB exclusive rights in Asia to Olamkicept for the treatment of autoimmune disease. On cells, Interleukin-6 binds to an Interleukin-6 receptor, which, however, is not signaling. The complex of Interleukin-6 and the Interleukin-6 receptor binds to a second receptor protein, gp130, which thereupon dimerizes and initiates intracellular. The gp130 receptor is present on all cells of the human body, whereas the Interleukin-6 receptor is only expressed by some cells such as hepatocytes and some leukocytes. Since Interleukin-6 exhibits only measurable affinity to the Interleukin-6 receptor but not to gp130, only cells which express the Interleukin-6 receptor can respond to Interleukin-6. It was found that the Interleukin-6 receptor can be cleaved from the cell membrane by the protease ADAM17 generating a soluble receptor. Interestingly, the soluble Interleukin-6 receptor can still bind Interleukin-6 and the complex of Interleukin-6 and Interleukin-6 receptor can bind to gp130 even on cells, which do not express the membrane-bound Interleukin-6 receptor. This mode of signaling has named Interleukin-6 trans-signaling. The protein Olamkicept consists of the extracellular portion of gp130 fused (and thereby dimerized) to the constant portion of a human IgG1 antibody. Like membrane bound gp130, the protein Olamkicept does not bind Interleukin-6 alone but only the complex of Interleukin-6 and soluble Interleukin-6 receptor. Therefore, Olamkicept only inhibits Interleukin-6 trans-signaling but not Interleukin-6 signaling via the membrane-bound Interleukin-6 receptor. It has been shown that Interleukin-6 activities via the membrane-bound Interleukin-6 receptor are regenerative and protect from bacterial infections whereas Interleukin-6 activities via the soluble Interleukin-6 receptor are considered pro-inflammatory. Therefore, Olamkicept only blocks the pro-inflammatory activities of the cytokine Interleukin-6. In many animal disease models of human pathologies it was tested whether the specific blockade of Interleukin-6 trans-signaling by the Olamkicept protein was superior to a global blockade with an Interleukin-6 or an Interleukin-6 receptor neutralizing antibody. It turned out that the specific blockade of Interleukin-6 trans-signaling was superior to global Interleukin-6 blockade in models of e.g. sepsis, of acute lung injury after severe acute pancreatitis and of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Furthermore, it was shown that Interleukin-6 trans-signaling plays a dominant role in colon cancer and lung cancer. The Olamkicept protein underwent phase I clinical studies in 2013/14 and is currently in phase II clinical trials in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease in Germany. and in China, Taiwan, South Korea and Australia.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591386
Viktor Obukhov Viktor Timofeyevich Obukhov (; – 26 November 1975) was a Soviet Army colonel general and a Hero of the Soviet Union. The son of an Orenburg Cossack, Obukhov fought on the Eastern Front of the Russian Civil War and commanded cavalry against the Basmachi Revolt until the late 1920s. He held staff positions during the late 1930s after a stint as an advisor in China and commanded a tank division in Belarus at the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa. His division suffered heavy losses, but Obukhov broke out of encirclement with the remnants and reached Soviet lines. He spent more than a year as a cavalry inspector and from May 1943 commanded the 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps, which he led for the rest of the war. Made a Hero of the Soviet Union for his leadership of the corps during Operation Bagration, Obukhov continued in command of the corps after the end of the war. Postwar, he held army command and ended his career as deputy chief of the Soviet tank troops, retiring in the mid-1960s. Obukhov was born on 3 April 1898 in the "stanitsa" of Nikolskaya, Orenburgsky Uyezd, Orenburg Governorate. The son of a Cossack, he graduated from the village school in 1914. During the Russian Civil War, Obukhov joined a Red Guard detachment in Orenburg in January 1918. In May he left the detachment to join the 1st Orenburg Soviet Laboring Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Red Army, serving as a Red Army man, platoon leader, and assistant commander of a "sotnia". The regiment fought in battles against the Siberian Army and the White Cossacks of Alexander Dutov. From February to May 1919 he was detached to take the Military-Political Course of the 1st Army in Orenburg and Syzran, then became an instructor in the political department of the 1st Army and assistant military commissar of the Southern Group of Forces of the Ural Front. From July 1919 he studied at the 1st Moscow Soviet Cavalry Courses, then stayed on as a course commander and assistant squadron commander. Conducting party work at the 1st All-Russian Congress of Labouring Cossacks in late 1919, Obukhov was elected a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Cossack Section there. He was appointed commandant of the "Krasny Kazak" (Red Cossack) propaganda train on the Southern Front in March 1920, and in September was sent to command the 1st Turkestan Cavalry Regiment on the Turkestan Front. With the latter, he fought in the against the Emirate of Bukhara and the Basmachi movement. From March 1922, Obukhov served as an acting squadron commander in the 13th Cavalry Regiment. After the end of the war, Obukhov was hospitalized in Petrograd from October 1922, after which he studied at the Red Army Higher Cavalry School in that city. After graduating in September 1924, he was again sent to the Turkestan Front, where he commanded the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Separate Cavalry Brigade. From January 1925 he served as commander and commissar of the 79th Cavalry Regiment of the 7th Separate Cavalry Brigade of the Central Asian Military District, and in December 1926 became commander and commissar of the Uzbek Cavalry Regiment in Samarkand. During this period he fought against the Basmachi in Eastern Bukhara from October 1924 to December 1926 and in Khiva from 1927 to November 1928. Obukhov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour of the Uzbek SSR on 22 February 1928. Sent to study at the Cavalry Officers Improvement Course (KUKS) in Novocherkassk in November of that year, Obukhov became commander and commissar of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the 2nd Cavalry Division in the Ukrainian Military District after graduation in July 1929. He studied at the Frunze Military Academy from April 1931, graduating in April 1934, after which he was placed at the disposal of the Red Army Intelligence Directorate. Promoted to colonel on 16 December 1935, Obukhov served in China as a military advisor to the commander of the Xinjiang Military Region of the National Revolutionary Army between 1935 and 1937. After returning to the Soviet Union, Obukhov served with the Red Army Cavalry Inspectorate from September 1937 as an assistant and later senior assistant inspector. From May 1939 he was a staff officer in the operational department of the 1st Army Group, and from July inspector of the cavalry of the Far East front group. In the latter position he participated in the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. Promoted to "kombrig" on 4 November 1939, Obukhov became chief of the Borisov Cavalry School in December 1939, which was later converted into a tank school. When the Red Army reintroduced general's ranks, he was made a major general on 4 June 1940. Obukhov was appointed commander of the 26th Tank Division of the 20th Mechanized Corps of the Western Special Military District on 11 March 1941. On 22 June 1941, when Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began, the division and its corps advanced towards Volkovysk and Belostok. Reaching the area of Mir-Gorodishche and Gorodeya, the division received orders to occupy a defensive line along the 1939 state border in the area of Negoreloe, Stolbtsy, Gorodeya, and Nesvizh, where it took control of disparate retreating units. For four days the division fought in fierce defensive battles with advancing German units on this line, covering the direction of Minsk. Subsequently, the division was forced to retreat to Minsk and beyond the Berezina River, where it consolidated. From 28 June, division units fought in an encirclement west of Minsk in the Naliboki forest for several days. Conducting a fighting retreat over the Dnieper towards Mogilev, the units of the division tied down large German forces, being twice encircled. Near Krichev and Propoysk on the Sozh River the division spent all fuel and ammunition in intense fighting, after which Obukhov decided to destroy the remaining equipment and vehicles and head east. He did not reach Soviet lines until September, with a group of up to 1,000 troops in the area of Bryansk in the 50th Army sector. Following his escape from behind German lines, Obukhov was appointed deputy inspector general of the Red Army cavalry on 11 September. In this position, he traveled to various fronts, and in late 1942 was on the Transcaucasian Front with the Black Sea Group of Forces. Appointed deputy commander of the 4th Guards Tank Army, forming near Moscow, on 2 March 1943, Obukhov transferred to command the 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps in May 1943; he would lead it for the rest of the war. The corps joined the 47th Army and fought in the Belgorod–Kharkov Offensive, in which it recaptured Khorol and Zolotonosha and crossed the Psel, Khorol, and Dnieper. During the offensive, on 19 August, Obukhov was severely wounded in an air attack near Sumy and temporarily replaced in command by the corps chief of staff. Obukhov was promoted to lieutenant general on 5 November 1943. From June 1944 the corps was part of the cavalry mechanized group of General Nikolay Osilkovsky as part of the 3rd Belorussian Front, with which it fought in the Vitebsk–Orsha Offensive, crossing the Berezina, establishing and holding a bridgehead, and recapturing Senno and Lepel. For his leadership of the corps, Obukhov received the title Hero of the Soviet Union and awarded the Order of Lenin on 4 July 1944. From July the corps was part of the 43rd, 4th Shock, 51st, 61st, 6th Guards, 22nd Armies of the 1st and 2nd Baltic Fronts, fighting in the later stage of Operation Bagration and the Baltic Offensive, in which Obukhov was again severely wounded near Joniškis. During this period it captured Vileyka, Smorgon, Molodechno, Vilnius, Šiauliai, Jelgava, and others, as well as participating in the elimination of the Courland Pocket. In June 1945 the corps was withdrawn to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and fought in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. After the end of the war, Obukhov continued to command the corps, which was reorganized as the 3rd Guards Mechanized Division in November 1945. From May 1946 he served as deputy commander of the 10th Mechanized Army, and from March 1947 was chief of the armored and mechanized forces combat training department as well as assistant commander-in-chief of the Ground Forces for armored and mechanized forces. From August of the latter year Obukhov commanded the 4th Guards Separate Cadre Tank Division of the Group of Soviet Occupation Forces in Germany, which was expanded into the 4th Guards Mechanized Army in March 1950. Sent to the Voroshilov Higher Military Academy in December 1950 for Higher Academic Courses, upon graduation in December 1952 Obukhov was named assistant commander of the Carpathian Military District. From October 1953 he commanded the 3rd Guards Mechanized Army, which was designated the 18th Guards Army in April 1957. Obukhov received a promotion to colonel general on 8 August 1955. In April 1958 he was appointed the deputy chief of the Armored Forces of the Soviet Armed Forces, a position that became deputy chief of tank troops in January 1961. Obukhov retired in September 1965 and lived in Moscow. He wrote a volume of memoirs about his experiences during the Russian Civil War, "Radi nashego shchastya" (For the Sake of Our Happiness), published by DOSAAF in 1972. Obukhov died on 26 November 1975. He was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591503
Qatar–Saudi Arabia border The Qatar–Saudi Arabia border is 87 km (54 m) in length and runs from the Gulf of Bahrain coast in the west to the Persian Gulf coast in the east. The border begins in the west at the Gulf of Salwah, proceeding overland via 4-5 straight lines (maps differ on the precise depiction) which forms a broad arc, terminating in the east at the Khawr al Udayd coast. Prior to the signing of the 1974 Treaty of Jeddah between Saudi Arabia and the UAE there was some confusion as to whether Qatar shared a border with the UAE, with maps commonly depicting a long Emirati panhandle touching Qatar. This Treaty gave Saudi Arabia access to the Khawr al Udayd, thereby removing any the possibility of Qatar sharing a border with the UAE. Historically there was no clearly defined boundary in this part of the Arabian peninsula. From 1868 Britain exercised control over Qatar as a de facto protectorate, formalised as such in 1916. The interior of Arabia consisted of loosely organised Arab groupings, occasionally forming emirates, most prominent of which was the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa ruled by the al-Saud family. Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913-14. During the First World War an Arab Revolt, supported by Britain, succeeded in removing the Ottomans from much of the Middle East; in the period following this Ibn Saud managed to expand his kingdom considerably, eventually proclaiming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. Ibn Saud refused to recognise the Anglo-Ottoman lines and lay claim to large parts of the eastern Arabian hinterland (the so-called ‘Hamza line’). On 25 November 1935 British officials met with Ibn Saud in an attempt to finalise a frontier between the new kingdom and their coastal protectorates, including Qatar. The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. According to a British document written in 1936, the prime cause of friction in the territorial dispute revolved around where Qatar's south-west borders should end. The rulers of both Qatar and Saudi Arabia claimed that their control of the Dohat Salwa area had historical precedent, however, Ibn Saud claimed that the Sheikh of Qatar had previously ceded to him this territory, to which the Sheikh vehemently denied. The letter stated: The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. In 1955, following the an attempt by Saudi Arabia to assert its control over the Buraimi Oasis on the Oman-Trucial States border, Britain stated that it would unilaterally use a slightly modified version of the 1935 'Riyadh line' henceforth. A border treaty between Qatar and Saudi Arabia was made in 1965, though the precise terms of its implementation was a long-standing point of contention between the two. In September 1992, tensions arose between the two when Saudi forces allegedly attacked a Qatari border post, resulting in the death of two Qatari soldiers and the imprisonment of a third. A border agreement was reached between the two parties in 1999 and the final treaty was signed in 2001. Following a severe deterioration in Saudi-Qatar relations in 2017 the border was shut. In June 2018 Saudi Arabia announced that it is planning on constructing a 61 km-long Salwa Canal running along the Saudi side of the Salwa Border Crossing at a cost of $745 million. The canal is set to physically separate Qatar from its only land border and effectually render it an island. Media outlets in Saudi Arabia hinted at the possibility of the Saudi government dedicating portions of the canal towards a military installation and a dump site for nuclear waste.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591521
Bolton power stations The two Bolton power stations supplied electric power to the town of Bolton and the wider area between 1894 and 1979. The first power station was located in Bolton town centre but by 1910 was too small to meet the growing demand for electricity. A large coal-fired power station was commissioned in 1914 situated at Back o’ th’ Bank about 1 mile north of the town centre. The electricity generating station was redeveloped several times until it was closed in 1979 and was subsequently demolished and the site redeveloped. The "Corporation of Bolton" obtained legal powers under the "Bolton Electric Lighting Order" (confirmed by the "Electric Lighting Orders Confirmation (No.1) Act 1891") to generate and supply electricity throughout the town. Bolton was first supplied with electricity on 31st October 1894 from an electricity works commissioned by the Bolton Corporation. The power station (53°34’40”N 2°26’20”W) was located on Spa Road immediately east of the Spa Fields gas works and extended south to Gas Street. The station supplied current for lighting and power to industrial, commercial and domestic premises in the town, including the electric tram system which opened in 1900. The municipal ownership of gas, water, electricity, markets and tramways in Bolton generated a relief of 11d. in £1 (£1=240d.) on the rates or local taxes. However, in 1901 it was suggested that Bolton Corporation were making large profits by charging high prices. In 1901 it cost 0.96d. to produce 1 kWh of electricity in Bolton but consumers were charged 3.41 d./kWh, making a profit of 2.45d./kWh. This was compared, unfavourably, to Norwich where the electric company (not a municipal authority) produced electricity for 2.4d./kWh and sold for 3.9d./kWh a profit of 1.5d./kWh. Despite these claims the use of electricity increased. Electrical power was supplied to the town's textile mills, which had previously used individually generated steam power to drive their machinery. Falcon Mill in Bolton was built between 1904–8 and was the first cotton mill in Lancashire to be powered by electricity. In 1899 the Bolton Corporation Electric Fittings Department sacked two workers for refusing to work overtime at the basic rate. The Electrical Trades Union escalated the dispute and within a week the Department had reinstated the workers. More widely this resulted in new employment conditions: normal weekly hours were reduced from 52 to 50 at 9d. per hour with defined rates for overtime. By the late-1900s the power station at Spa Road was increasingly unable to meet the growing demand for electricity. In 1912 the Electricity Committee of the Bolton Corporation proposed the construction of a new larger power station at Back o’ th’ Bank (53°35'34.9"N 2°25'27.6"W), about 1 mile (1.5 km) north of the town centre. The selected site was west of the River Tonge and east of the Astley Bridge branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway, and directly across the river from the Denvale cotton mills. The advantages of the site were that the river provided water for condensing steam at the plant and the railway enabled coal fuel to be delivered directly to the station. The local government board sanctioned the development in 1913. Building work on the new station started in February 1914 and the first 4,000 kW turbo-alternator was commissioned on the 3 September 1914. Further plant, including a second 4,000 kW machine, was installed in 1917–18. After the First World War the plant at original generating station at Spa Road was decommissioned, but the site was retained as a transformer substation, for converting AC to DC, and for the distribution of electricity. The frontage of the former generating station in Spa Road is extant (2020). To cater for increased demand, new buildings were constructed at Back o' th' Bank for additional plant. Between 1921 and 1923 further steam raising plant was installed consisting of eighteen boilers each capable of supplying 34,000 lb/hr (4.3 kg/s) of steam at a pressure of 225 psi (15.5 bar). The total capacity of steam raising plant was 408,000 lb/hr (51.4 kg/s). In 1923 the generating machinery comprised 2 × 4,000 kW, 1 × 6,000 kW, 1 × 8,000 kW and 1 × 12,000 kW turbo-alternators. This gave a total generating capacity of 34,000 kW. The No. 6 machine was an English Electric Company 12.5 MW set which was commissioned in October 1923; it was supplied with steam at 200 psi and 528°F (13.79 bar and 276°C). This machine remained in operation until 1979, and was moved to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester as a museum display piece. The Back o’ th’ Bank power station generated electricity at 6,400 Volts, 3-phase, 50 Hz; this was transferred to the town through 28 underground cables. Electricity supplies to users were: The rapid growth in the supply and demand of electricity over the period 1921–23 is illustrated in the table. Of the 38.280 GWh sold in 1923, this was supplied to the following users. The condensing of steam in the station was by river water, abstracted from, and returned to the River Tonge. Initially the water was cooled in 4 spray ponds north of the station, each had a capacity of 0.75 million gallons per hour (0.95 m3/s). In about 1950 a hyperbolic reinforced concrete cooling tower was built with a capacity of 2.5 million gallons per hour (3.15 m3/s). This was located on the east side of the River Tonge north of the Denvale Mills. However, there were complaints that operation of the cooling tower let to problems with ice in cold weather. The Back o’ th’ Bank power station had two chimneys on the north side and later an additional single chimney to the south of the station. By the mid-1920s the Lancashire Power Company and the Corporations of Manchester, Salford, Bolton and Rochdale had interconnected their electricity systems to share the production and supply of electricity. The combined output capacity of the system was 650 GWh. In 1927 the Central Electricity Board (CEB) assumed responsibility across the country for directing the operation of ‘selected’ power stations and paying for their operation. Back o' th' Bank became a selected station. Bolton Corporation had the right to buy the electricity they required from the Board. The CEB built the first stages of the National Grid between 1927–33. Back o’ th’ Bank power station was connected to an electricity grid ring which included Padiham, Rawtenstall and Kearsley power stations, this was one of three electricity rings in the North West.The others were: Preston, Southport, Liverpool, Warrington and Wigan; and Manchester, Oldham, Tame Valley and Stockport. Further turbo-alternators were installed at Back o’ th’ Bank during the late 1940s, whilst some of the older equipment was decommissioned because of its age and deteriorating condition. The steam plant in the low pressure station was decommissioned in 1952. Upon nationalisation of the British electricity supply industry in 1948 the ownership of Back o’ th’ Bank power station was vested in the British Electricity Authority, and subsequently the Central Electricity Authority and the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB). At the same time the electricity distribution and sales responsibilities of the Bolton electricity undertaking were transferred to the North Western Electricity Board (NORWEB). The operational electricity generating capacity by the late 1950s was 89 MW. The amount of electricity sent out (in GWh) was as follows. Electricity sent out from Back o' th' Bank, 1954–72 (GWh){ } By 1971 the plant at Back o’ th’ Bank comprised three 31.25 MW turbo-alternators, the maximum output capacity was 75 MW and in the year ending 31 March 1972 the electricity supplied from the station was 46.136 GWh. Back o’ th’ Bank power station was closed by the CEGB and ceased to generate electricity on 19 March 1979. The station was subsequently demolished, the area was redeveloped with office, warehouse, industrial and leisure facilities.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591529
Józef Pius Dziekoński Józef Pius Dziekoński (born 5 May 1844, Płock – died 4 February 1924, Warsaw) was a Polish architect and heritage conservator, a representative of the 19th-century historicism. He became the first dean at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology and co-founded the Society for the Protection of Historical Monuments (TOnZP). He was born on 5 May in Płock, in the Russian-partitioned part of Poland. After graduating from high school in Warsaw in 1860, he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts. In 1866, he began his studies at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Sankt Petersburg. In 1871, he obtained the architecture degree (III Class) and in 1902, he received the title of an academician. He mostly specialized in sacral architecture and was a precursor of the so-called Vistula-Baltic style. Since 1893, he collaborated with the Committee on Research into History of Art in Poland ("Komisja do Badań Historii Sztuki w Polsce"). In 1906, he was one of the co-founders of the Society for the Protection of Historical Monuments ("Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zabytkami Przeszłości"). Among his notable pupils were architects such as Franciszek Lilpop, Hugo Kruder, Czesław Domaniewski, Józef Holewiński, Zdzisław Mączeński, Feliks Michalski, Aleksander Nieniewski, and Ludwik Panczakiewicz. He was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta on 2 May 1922 as well as the Italian Order of St. Gregory the Great. In 1919, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Lviv. He died on 4 February in Warsaw and was buried at the Powązki Cemetery.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591672
Abdul Majed Abdul Majed (died 12 April 2020) was an Bangladeshi military officer who was convicted for his role in the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. Abdul Majed was a Captain in the Bangladesh Army. Majed was appointed to the Bangladeshi Embassy in Senegal. He retired from the Bangladesh Army in 1980 and joined the civil administration as a Deputy Secretary. He worked at the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation. He was promoted to the rank of Secretary. He joined the Ministry of Youth and Sports as the director of youth development. He was appointed the Director of National Savings Directorate. He disappeared in 1997 after Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was elected Prime Minister of Bangladesh. On 14 August 1975, Majed and other officers looted weapons from the Bengal Lancers armory. On 15 August 1975, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members were killed in the 15 August 1975 Bangladesh coup d'état. Majed and the other officers met at the Bangabhaban and created a new government with Khandaker Mushtaq Ahmed in charge. He was part of the team which attacked the residence of Abdur Rab Serniabat, brother-in-law of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On 2 November 1975, Majed and the other army officers involved in the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman met Khandaker Mushtaq Ahmed at the Bangabhaban. There a decision was made to carry out the Jail Killing to kill four national leaders of Bangladesh Awami League. The leaders were Abul Hasnat Muhammad Qamaruzzaman, Muhammad Mansur Ali, Syed Nazrul Islam, and Tajuddin Ahmed. In 1998, he was sentenced to death for the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by a trial court. On 19 November 2009, Majed's death sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Bangladesh along with 12 other convicts. Five of the convicts were executed on 27 January 2010. They were AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed, Bazlul Huda, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Syed Farooq Rahman, and Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan. Another convict, Abdul Aziz Pasha, died in Zimbabwe. The convicts who absconded were Abdul Majed, Khandaker Abdur Rashid, Noor Chowdhury, Risaldar Moslehuddin Khan, Rashed Chowdhury, and Shariful Haque Dalim. In 2015, the Government of Bangladesh confiscated Majed's properties in Bangladesh, which included 1.35 acres in the Borhanuddin Municipality in Bhola District. On 28 August 2008, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the jail killing case. Majed was arrested on 7 April 2020 at Mirpur by the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police. He was sent to Dhaka Central Jail, Keraniganj by a court in Dhaka. He told Bangladesh police officers that he had been hiding in Kolkata for the last 23 years. He was hanged on 12 April 2020.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591695

Saudi Arabia–United Arab Emirates border The Saudi Arabia–United Arab Emirates border is 457 km (284 m) in length and runs from the Persian Gulf coast in the west to the tripoint with Oman in the east. The governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates signed the Treaty of Jeddah in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on 21 August 1974 between Faisal of Saudi Arabia and Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan apparently ending a long-running boundary dispute, but according to the UAE the dispute has not been settled due to discrepancies between the oral agreement before the treaty’s signing and the final text of the treaty itself. According to the UAE, the government did not notice this discrepancy until 1975 as a result of the absence of lawyers, technicians, and geographers on its negotiation team. The UAE has attempted to bring Saudi Arabia back to the negotiating table ever since. The provisions of the 1974 treaty were not publicly disclosed until 1995, when it was lodged with the United Nations. However, the United Arab Emirates never ratified the agreement. The border consists of four straight lines: the first begins in the west on the coast at the Sumayrah Gulf just west of the UAE's Ras Khumays (Ghumais) peninsula, proceeding southwards for 26 km (16 m); the second is orientated NW-SE and runs for 166 km (103 m); the third is orientated NW-SE and runs for 265 km (164 m); and the fourth is orientated SW-NE and runs for 12 km (7 m) up to the Omani tripoint. The border lies entirely within the desert, occasionally cutting across salt-flats such as the Sabkhat Matti. Historically there was no clearly defined boundary in this part of the Arabian peninsula. During the 19th century Britain had signed a number of protectorate treaties with seven emirates on what was then known as the 'Pirate Coast', giving rise to the so-called Trucial States. The interior of Arabia consisted of loosely organised Arab groupings, occasionally forming emirates, most prominent of which was the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa ruled by the al-Saud family. Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence in Arabia via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913-14. During the First World War an Arab Revolt, supported by Britain, succeeded in removing the Ottomans from much of the Middle East; in the period following this Ibn Saud managed to expand his kingdom considerably, eventually proclaiming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. Ibn Saud refused to recognise the Anglo-Ottoman lines and lay claim to large parts of the eastern Arabian hinterland (the so-called ‘Hamza line’). On 25 November 1935 British officials met with Ibn Saud in an attempt to finalise a frontier between the new kingdom and its coastal protectorates, including the Trucial States. The conference proved abortive however and the issue remained unresolved. In 1949, Saudi Arabia under the rule of Ibn Saud and Saudi Aramco had made incursions to the Western Region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, due to the prospect of getting oil. Ibn Saud was also interested in ruling the area of Al Ain and Al Buraimi, located in the Eastern Region of Abu Dhabi on its border with Oman. This led to the Buraimi Dispute. On 31 August 1952, a group of some 80 Saudi Arabian guards, 40 of whom were armed, led by the Saudi Emir of Ras Tanura, Turki bin Abdullah Al Otaishan, crossed Abu Dhabi territory and occupied Hamasa, one of three Omani villages in the oasis, claiming it as part of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. On 30 July 1954, it was agreed to refer the dispute to an international arbitration tribunal. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia embarked on a campaign of bribery to obtain declarations of tribal loyalty on which its case was to be based. This campaign even extended to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, brother of Sheikh Shakhbut, the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and at that time the "wali" of Al Ain. Zayed was approached by the Saudis, first with an offer of 50% of any oil revenues from the area, then a new car and 40,000 Rupees. A third approach offered Zayed 400 million Rupees and finally, he was informed that the Saudi representative, Abdullah Al Qurayshi, wished to present him with three pistols. In 1955 arbitration proceedings began in Geneva only to collapse when the British arbitrator, Sir Reader Bullard, objected to Saudi Arabian attempts to influence the tribunal and withdrew – one of the two judges to resign, the other being the Belgian President. Given these breaches of the agreement, the British government decided to unilaterally abrogate the Standstill Agreement and take the oasis on 25 October 1955. On 25 October, the Trucial Oman Levies quickly took the oasis and captured all fifteen of the Saudi contingent under the Saudi Emir Bin Nami, who was shot and lightly wounded. The Saudi force was flown out on an RAF Valetta, which took them to Sharjah and then on to Saudi Arabia by sea. Most of the fighting took place after the surrender of the Saudis, with the Bedouin force of some 200 men putting up a spirited resistance to the Levies. After this incident Britain stated that it would unilaterally use a slightly modified version of the 1935 'Riyadh line' as the border henceforth. After the declaration of independence of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, Saudi Arabia withheld the recognition of the country and Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan as its President on the basis of territorial disputes with the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and continued to deal with the emirates as individual emirates bypassing the federal union. In 1974, King Faisal was asked by Sheikh Zayed that the UAE was in dire need of cooperation from Saudi Arabia in its recognition of the country and was asked to open the negotiations over the border issue. King Faisal used the tactic of non-recognition as a leverage against the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to make it reach a settlement quickly. King Faisal was already associated with the issue before 1974 as the minister of foreign affairs during the reign of his father King Abdulaziz. He has witnessed the failure of many meetings at which British officials sometimes represented Abu Dhabi. He felt the handling of the Buraimi dispute in which Saudi troops were defeated and forcibly removed was a great insult to the Kingdom and a blow to be avenged. King Faisal told the UAE delegation which visited him in Taif in July 1972 that Saudi Arabia had been humiliated in Buraimi and that it would have to retrieve its rights, vowing that it would not abandon property inherited from fathers and grandfathers. Sheikh Zayed was more eager for a settlement but Saudi Arabia's demand was unrealistic as it claimed the annexation of extensive lands in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi some of which contained a number of oil fields. On 21 August 1974 an agreement was settled between Sheikh Zayed and King Faisal on the demarcation of the frontiers between Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia immediately declared recognition of the United Arab Emirates, sent its ambassador, and promoted its liaison office in Dubai into a consulate. The step strengthened the United Arab Emirate's position as a union and consolidated Sheikh Zayed's position as President. In 1976, Qatar and UAE agreed to establish a highway to link each other, however this was impeded by Saudi Arabia who stated that the construction company was operating on Saudi territory. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia hired a survey team to examine the possibility of building a port at Ras Ghumais located in UAE territory and awarding a contract to a Saudi-Irish company, arguing that the UAE borders were finalized and recognized in 1976 when King Khalid sealed the agreement. The Saudis hence succeeded in gaining 20 miles east of Ras Ghumais in another Treaty in 1977 and gave Sheikh Zayed a cheque for $34.5 million. However, this treaty remained unrecognized internationally. According to author Anthony Cordesman, "the Saudi government forced Abu Dhabi to move its border 20 miles further east on the Gulf coast” From 1974 until 1980 there was no physical Saudi checkpoints between Qatar and UAE, citizens of both countries moved freely back and forth without interference from the Saudi government until after 1990s. The Saudis did not construct the actual road until after 1990. In June 1990 the direct land road connecting UAE and Qatar was closed for the first time and the Saudis opened a new road connecting Saudi territory with UAE through Al Sila and closed the old road connecting Abu Dhabi to the Qatari border. According to UAE military sources, the Saudi government paid money to Saudi tribes to relocate near Khor Al Udaid and claimed they had been living there for a long time as well as built various military infrastructure near the inlet. In 2004, Emirati under secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Abdulla Rashid Al Nuaimi told US ambassador Marcelle M. Wahba that the UAE signed the treaty in 1974 as a case of "force majeure". In 2004, the UAE publicly raised the question of the boundary with Saudi Arabia and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, asked Saudi Arabia for amendments. Saudi Arabia responded that the treaty has been closed in 1974, except for Article 5 which talks about delineating maritime boundaries. UAE government publicly announced the dissatisfaction to allow changes to the Articles of the Jeddah Treaty. The public announcement with the dissatisfaction came a month after UAE's previous president Sheikh Zayed passed away, indicating that the UAE was not satisfied with the way the boundary issue was handled. Sheikh Khalifa raised the issue when he visited Riyadh in December 2004, however no solution occurred. In 2005, there were concerns that the border dispute might flare up again. In 2005, Sheikh Khalifa visited Qatar and a causeway project intended to link Doha to Abu Dhabi was announced, frustrating Saudi Arabia and causing them to protest that this causeway was passing through Saudi waters even though the maritime boundaries between the two countries was not delineated. Emirati undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated "We don't want to be separated from the Qataris by a slice of Saudi waters." implying that the causeway project was the only hope for Abu Dhabi to be connected to Qatar. In 2004, UAE and Qatar also jointly signed an agreement for the Dolphin Gas Project, which involves Qatar supplying gas to the UAE and Oman. In July 2006 the Saudi government protested the project, arguing that the pipeline passed through Saudi Arabia’s claimed territorial waters. The UAE publicly reopened the dispute in 2006, claiming some lost territory. The Jeddah Agreement granted Saudi Arabia a corridor eastwards from Khawr al Udayd, thus giving the Saudis an outlet to the Persian Gulf on the eastern side of Qatar. In return, the UAE was to keep six villages in the area of Al-Buraimi, including al-Ain, and most of al-Zafra desert. Al-Ain/Al-Buraimi oasis region consists of nine oases/villages, seven of which - Al Ain, Al Jaheli, Al Qattarah, Al Muwaiji, Al Hill, Al Masudi, and Al Muhtaredh are today under Abu Dhabi’s control, while the remaining three, namely Hamasa, Sa'ara and Buraimi, today belong to the Sultanate of Oman. Article 3 of the agreement stated that "all hydrocarbons in the Shaybah-Zarrara field shall be considered as belonging to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" and provided for exploration and development of the whole field by Saudi Arabia. Article 4 stipulated that Saudi Arabia and the UAE “each undertake to refrain from engaging in and from permitting the exploitation of hydro-carbons in that part of its territory to which the hydrocarbon fields primarily located in the territory of the other state extend." In 1992, the UAE wished to renegotiate the status of the treaty, specially the 20 percent of Zararah that was located in Abu Dhabi’s territory. Saudi Arabia published the contents of the treaty in 1995 publicly for the first time to make it clear that under Article 3 of the treaty, the Shaybah field belonged to Saudi Arabia and there will be no joint development of the oilfield. The UAE oil minister was the only GCC oil minister who did not attend the inauguration of the Shaybah oilfield in March 1999 as a way to indicate the UAE's long standing dissatisfaction with Jeddah Treaty Articles. According to a Saudi source, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed made more than two visits to Saudi Arabia in March and April 2011 with the intention of reaching a settlement regarding the 20 percent of Zararah oilfield that was located in Abu Dhabi territory. On 15 August 2011, an anonymous UAE diplomat stated that the UAE wanted changes to the treaty, mainly to Article 3 that would make changes to allow for the oil sharing between Zararah/Shaybah oil field as Sheikh Zayed had obviously believed in August 1974 that the UAE and Saudi Arabia were agreeing to share the oil, but that this had not been included in the provisions of the Treaty and hence its within UAE's rights to request an amendment to the Treaty. The UAE also argued against Article 5 of the treaty, which stated that “both parties shall as soon as possible delimit the offshore boundaries between the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the territory of the United Arab Emirates.” According to the UAE, the article cannot be settled due to conflicting parts with the 1969 territorial agreement between Abu Dhabi and Qatar, as well as with the UAE-Qatar Dolphin Pipeline agreement of 2004. Lastly, the UAE directly disagreed with Article 6 of the treaty, which stipulated that an international company would be required to prepare an official map to reflect the current boundaries between the two countries. The UAE continued to use the older version of the map which did not conform the Treaty of Jeddah, showing Khor al Udaid and the location of the Zararah oilfield as UAE territory as far till 2009. This caused a problem with UAE citizens entering Saudi Arabia in August 2009 who were using their ID cards as the card showed the original map and Emirati citizens who tried to enter Saudi Arabia with their ID cards were turned back at the border. According to The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, it might be argued that the 1974 agreement is of questionable validity in terms of international law. It has been neither published nor ratified by the UAE Federal National Council, a crucial step to make the agreement binding on the parties. Qatar, which suddenly discovered it no longer had a land border with the UAE, was not even a party to the negotiations.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591718

WD Repeat and Coiled Coil Containing Protein WD Repeat and Coiled-coiled containing protein (WDCP) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the "WDCP" gene. The function of the protein is not completely understood, but WDCP has been identified in a fusion protein with anaplastic lymphoma kinase found in colorectal cancer. WDCP has also been identified in the MRN complex, which processes double-stranded breaks in DNA. WDCP is located in chromosome 2, specifically locus 2p23.3 on the minus strand, in humans. The total gene is 20,235 bp long, from 24,029,340 – 24,047,575. WDCP is located in between the MFSD2B and FKBP1B genes. The total gene contains 4 exons, the details of which can be seen in the table below. Table 1. Exons of WDCP and their various lengths. Common aliases of the gene include chromosome 2, open reading frame 44 (c2orf44), MMAP, and PP384. The WDCP isoform 1 is encoded by mRNA-WD repeat and coiled-coil containing, transcript variant 1. The total RNA transcript is 18,045 bp long and is transcribed from the WDCP gene from nucleotides 24,029,347 - 24,047,391. The coding DNA sequence is 3848 nucleotides long. The 5’ UTR contains 7,897 nucleotides, and the 3’ UTR contains 1,597 nucleotides. There are two known transcript variants of WDCP: WDCP transcript variant 2 and WDCP transcript variant X1. Information about the two transcripts can be seen below. Table 2. Transcript Variants of WDCP with their alternative splicing pattern in comparison to WDCP transcript variant 1. WDCP protein isoform 1 is 721 amino acids in length. Its molecular weight is 79 kDa and the theoretical isoelectric point is 6.2. The protein sequence for WDCP Protein Isoform 1 is shown below. Figure 1. Protein Sequence of WDCP Protein Isoform 1. Compositional analysis of WDCP Isoform 1 shows no extremely high or low levels of particular amino acids. The protein contains no positive, negative, or mixed charged clusters. There are two isoforms of WDCP, as seen in the table below. Table 3. Table of WDCP protein Isoforms and Protein Information. The secondary structure of WDCP Protein Isoform 1 consists of 47 random coils (429 residues, 59.5%), 19 alpha-helices (160 residues, 22.19%), and 31 extended strands (132 residues, 18.31%). There are two predicted disulfide bonds in WDCP, one between cysteine residues 574 and 623, and the other between cysteine residues 713 and 714. WDCP protein domains include two tryptophan-aspartic acid repeat sites, multiple phosphorylation sites, and a domain that interacts with the hemopoietic cell kinase. Across various tissue types, WDCP shows increased mRNA expression in white blood cells (3.0 RPKM), thymus (3.6 RPKM), lymph nodes, bone marrow, and testes. WDCP exhibits increased protein expression in endocrine tissues, and well as the kidney and urinary bladder. Across multiple tissue lines in the GTEx database, WDCP expression seemed to be highest in Epstein-Barr Virus transformed lymphocytes and lowest in the pancreas. NCBI GEO Records reveal that overall WDCP expression is in the 65-70th percentile according to the Universal Human Reference RNA. In fetal tissue, WDCP mRNA expression is highest in the lung at 17 weeks at 3.75 RPKM, the heart at 10 weeks at 3.5 RPKM, and in the intestine at 11 weeks 3.0 RPKM. At 17 weeks, WDCP expression in the intestine drops down from 3.0 RPKM to 0.75 RPKM. The fetal kidney at 20 weeks exhibits the lowest WDCP expression, at 0.5 RPKM. WDCP does not have any CpG islands associated with its promoter. WDCP has relatively low levels of H3K27ac, but higher levels of H3K4me1 and H3K4me3 across various cell types, including HeLa, HUVEC, and leukemia cell lines. The GeneHancer promoter for WDCP is listed as GH02J024045. The transcription factor binding sites associated with this promoter and confirmed with a ChIP signal include HNF4A, CEBPB, ERG1, FOS, ETS1, and E2F6. The binding sites for FOS, EGR1, and ETS1 are located in a DNase hypersensitive site. There are two transcript variants of WDCP detailed in the table in the mRNA section. The mRNA secondary structures of the UTR regions exhibited a high number of predicted stem-loop structures in the WDCP transcript. The 5' UTR region closest to the start codon contained about 22 predicted loops. Stem loops in the 5' UTR near the start codon could indicate lower levels of expression. There are 108 predicted loops in the 3' UTR region. There are no known miRNA targets in the 3' UTR. WDCP Isoform 1 contains the following post-translational modifications: Glycation is the addition of a sugar molecule to an amino acid and is associated with pathologies including renal failure and diabetes. Glycation is predicted to occur at lysine residues: 5, 7, 83, 189, 244, 262, 294, 325, 389, 405, 407, 461, 552, and 617. Acetylation is the addition of an acetyl group at the starting methionine residue. This is usually associated with metabolic-relating pathways. WDCP has one confirmed acetylation site at the starting methionine residue. Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group to amino acids. It is mainly associated with cellular signaling pathways and can instigate tumor development. Serine, Threonine, and Tyrosine phosphorylation sites were identified in 27 residues at a NetPhos threshold of 0.9. Phosphorylation was detected at: Possible kinases that interact with WDCP include Casein kinase 1, Casein kinase 2, cAMP, cGMP, P38MAPK, DNAPK, Protein kinase A, and Protein kinase C. SUMOylation is the addition of a small ubiquitin-like modifier to lysine residues in proteins. SUMOYlation sites in WDCP include lysine residues 47, 152, 298, 310, 709, with lysine residues 47 and 152 having the highest probability of SUMOylation. SUMOylation can affect protein-protein interactions and affect protein ubiquitination. Palmitoylation is the addition of a fatty acid chain to cysteine residues. There is one confirmed site of palmitoylation at cysteine residue 714. GalNAc O-Glycosylation is the addition of a sugar molecule to a serine or threonine residue, which possibly increases structural stability. Some of these residues overlap with phosphorylation sites, indicating that these residues can switch between a phosphorylation site. These sites were detected at: N-glycosylation is the addition of a sugar molecule to an asparagine residue. Asparagine residue 483 is the only detected N-glycosylation site in WDCP. There were no sites of amidation, C-linked mannosylation, GPI modification sites, non-classical protein secretion, transmembrane helices or regions, prediction of R and K cleavage sites, lipoprotein sites, sulfonated tyrosines, or Twin Arginine signal peptides. WDCP Isoform 1 has no transmembrane domains, actin-binding motifs, ER retention motifs, or Golgi transport signals. The protein is most likely located in the nucleus, with a reliability score of 47.8%, and a 30.4% chance of being located in the cytoplasm. Close orthologs of WDCP Isoform 1 have shown similar results for orthologous proteins, where the protein is most likely located in the nucleus. In addition, there are two predicted nuclear localization sequences in WDCP, starting at residues 401 and 581. Immunostaining of WDCP has shown localization in the nucleoli of osteosarcoma cells, as well as the cytoplasm of kidney cells. The function of WDCP is currently not well-understood, but due to increased expression levels in the bone marrow and thymus, the protein could have possible relations to immune function and development. Its location in the nucleus, relation to the MRN complex, an abundance of phosphorylation sites, and associations with various cancers could indicate a role in cell growth regulation or a proto-oncogenic function. WDCP has known interactions with HCK, where a proline-rich region of WDCP binds to the Src homology 3 domain of HCK. As mentioned before, WDCP was known to exist in a fusion with ALK. This fusion changes the structure of ALK, which results in constitutive signaling. Studies have confirmed interactions between WDCP and RuvB-like proteins 1 and 2 in human embryonic kidney cells, which belong to a family of AAA proteins associated with ATPase activity, C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 2 and DYNLT1. Based on the transcription factor binding sites listed in the transcriptional regulation section, WDCP could have possible interactions with the following transcription factors: Studies have linked WDCP to various cancers, including colorectal cancer, leukemia, and osteosarcomas. WDCP levels are higher in colorectal cancer metastases compared to the primary tumor. GEO Records show elevated levels of WDCP in leukemia cell lines, which are regulated with Imatinib, a drug used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. This pattern is also seen in HeLa cell lines when treated with Casiopenias, small molecules with an active Cu2+ that allow the molecule to bind to tumors and induce apoptosis. There are no paralogs of WDCP, but orthologs of this gene were found in primates, rodents, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, echinoderms, and possibly fungi. There are no orthologs in prokaryotes or plants. There were no organisms with proteins containing homologous domains. The graph to the right shows the rate of evolution of WDCP in comparison to the evolution rate of the fibrinogen alpha-chain (NCBI: NP_068657) and cytochrome c (NCBI: NP_061820). As seen in the graph to the right, the evolution rate of WDCP is faster than that of cytochrome c, but slower than the evolution of the fibrinogen alpha-chain. While there are some sequences in WDCP that are conserved (which can be seen in the conceptual translation), there are very few known conserved domains among the various orthologs. There is one conserved glycation site detected through a multiple sequence alignment, lysine 389. The table below shows a list of orthologs, the evolutionary date of divergence between the organism and humans, and the % identity between WDCP Isoform 1 and the orthologous protein sequence.

Isotta Fraschini Asso Caccia The Isotta Fraschini Asso Caccia, a.k.a. Isotta Fraschini Asso-450 Caccia, was an air-cooled, supercharged V12 piston aero engine produced in the 1930s by Italian manufacturer Isotta Fraschini. The Asso Caccia had a V-cylinder configuration, with cylinders made of carbon steel, equipped with cooling fins, mounted separately from each other, to which a single head per cylinder was connected. Above them, two light alloy carters, one per group of cylinders, had the function of connecting the cylinder heads and the intake ducts as well as containing, closed by a cover, the tappets and the distribution members. The crankshaft, made of special steel, was supported by a series of 8 bearings, with the insertion in the rear position between the last two of a double bearing and thrust ball bearing, which had the task of supporting the effort of the propeller whether it is mounted in a pulling or pushing configuration.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591784

C. Forrest Faison III C. Forrest Faison III is a retired vice admiral (VADM) in the United States Navy. He served as an officer in the Medical Corps and as the 38th Surgeon General of the United States Navy. Faison spent time growing up in Norfolk, Virginia and Cleveland, Ohio. He graduated high school in Cleveland, from Rocky River High School. He then attended Wake Forrest University where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1980. Upon graduation, he received a commission as a naval officer through the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). This is where he completed his medical degree in 1984. He would go on to complete his post graduate training at Naval Hospital San Diego in pediatrics and a fellowship training at the University of Washington in neurodevelopmental pediatrics. In 2006, Faison became the commanding officer of U.S. Medical Task Force, Kuwait. He was in command of the expeditionary medical facility, where he oversaw healthcare operations for Kuwait, Qatar, and southern Iraq. In addition, he also oversaw all medical logistics support through U.S. Central Command. Upon his return in 2007, Faison took over command of Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton. Not only overseeing operations at the hospital, he would also direct operations at all area branch health clinics on the base and surrounding areas. In 2009, Faison served as Deputy Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), for Current and Future Health Care Operations. All strategies and protocols regarding Naval Medical Treatment Facilities and operations would be under his responsibility. To include the relief effort in the Republic of Haiti, after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the country in 2010. He coordinated Navy Medicine's response and sent the hospital ship, USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), fully staffed and prepared, within five days of the earthquake to aid in relief efforts. Faison would go on to take command of Navy Medicine West and Naval Medical Center San Diego in 2010. Here he would be responsible for 10 hospitals and over 30 clinics, as well as 16,000 staff on the west coast. He would launch multiple different programs that would improve health and fleet readiness, while also decreasing healthcare costs. This would lead him to receiving California's Medical Community's Lighthouse Award for visionary leadership and inspiring health innovation. This would mark the first time a member of the Department of Defense would receive this award. He would also coordinate the U.S. Navy's medical response for Operation Tomodachi, after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake tore through eastern Japan. This triggered a tsunami to crash through the northeastern Honshu coast, flooding the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, leaving more than 20,000 dead or missing.

Sex trafficking in Malaysia Sex trafficking in Malaysia is human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and slavery that occurs in Malaysia. Malaysia is a country of origin, destination and transit for sex trafficking. Sex trafficking victims in the country are from all ethnic groups in Malaysia and foreigners. Children, people in rural areas and or poverty, minorities, migrants, and refugees are vulnerable. Malaysian citizens, primarily women and girls, have been sex trafficked into other countries in Asia and different continents. Many are forced into prostitution and or marriage and unfree labour. Victims are threatened and experience physically and psychologically abuse. They contract sexually transmitted diseases from rapes. Some are coerced to be in online pornographic films. The perpetrators are often part of or collude with criminal syndicates. They increasing use the internet to deceive victims. The government of Malaysia has been criticized for its response to sex trafficking. Corruption and impunity are pervasive. Officials and police have been complicit in trafficking. Law enforcement have also failed to recognize victims and other indications of trafficking, and have treated cases as immigration violations. Though some anti-trafficking efforts, such as public service announcements, are carried out, progress has been limited by poor border management, weak victim protections, inadequate law enforcement practices, low convictions, and other factors.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591893
List of remote companies The following is a list of remote companies. The list includes only companies that have been noted by sources as being former or current fully remote companies. Fully remote companies are companies that do not have a physical office where employees work and may have a mailbox as their headquarter. Their workers have the option of either telecommuting or working from somewhere else. Many fully remote companies employ workers in numerous time zones. Benefits of being fully remote are: no longer having to pay rent, the ability to expand quickly, and no longer being constrained by location when hiring employees. A downside is that being physically together could help employees better communicate and come up with ideas. Another downside is that employees may feel secluded from their coworkers whom they do not see in person. This could cause them not to have compassion for each other. To build a sense of community, fully remote companies have held frequent meetups and retreats that last a week. Companies participating in the fully remote experience include those in the technology, e-commerce, and e-learning sectors. There are about 100 fully remote companies that employ 10 or more people. GitLab, a fully remote company that employees 1,100 people based in over 60 countries, is one of the largest all-remote companies.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63591938

Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes Akciju Sabiedriba Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes Akciju Sabiedriba was a Latvian-German airline, based in Riga, Latvia. It operated international air lines from Riga Spilve airport (ICAO: EVRS). The airline was launched in 1922. It was finally dissolved in 1928 after major shareholders pulled out support. The airline, under the name of Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes Akziju Saboedriba, was founded on July 31, 1922. It had a capital of 100,000 (Lats) Gold francs, divided into 5,000 shares each 20 (Lats) Gold francs. The foundation of the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS was supported by the "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG" from Dessau, eager to find ways to avoid destruction of its fleet of Junkers F 13 and increase its sales of Junkers-aircraft. Junkers was also eager to exploit the German postal authorities’ concession for the transportation of freight and passengers on the link Berlin – Königsberg – Kaunas (or Klaipėda / Mėmel) – Riga, granted in December 1920. The founders of Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS were two Latvian citizens Captain Janis Lindberg and Lieutenant Janis Osol, together with Dr Alexander Woskressenski, a Russian lawyer living in Riga and serving as general agent for Lloyd-Junkers Luftverkehrs GmbH for Latvia and Estonia. The company received a special concession from the Latvian Government for flying international services. Besides being an airline company, Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS was to act as an agent, planned the purchase of workshops for aircraft maintenance and the building of maintenance facilities at airports. Article 17 of the company’s charter included the possibility for the company to use its shares for the purchase of aircraft. This was done to give "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG" the possibility to deliver aircraft to the company. On August 2, 1922, 2,000 shares were transferred to "Junkers Werke AG", Dessau and 2,760 shares were transferred to the Junkers-affiliated Danziger Luftpost GmbH from Danzig in exchange for two Junkers F 13 aircraft. Junkers Werke AG’s share remained the same throughout the company’s existence, but through so-called Treuhändervertrag (straw men agreements) it owned 100 % of the company. In exchange Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS received one silver-coloured Junkers F 13, named "Condor" (registration No. D-202 c/n 579), from "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG" and another "Fasan" (registration No. D-215, c/n 631) from Danziger Luftpost GmbH. Initially they flew with German registrations until were registered in Latvia respectively as B.L.A.T.A. (earliest in September 1923) and B.L.A.T.B. (earliest in March 1924). In the spring of 1923, the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS joined the Osteuropa Union of Junkers-affiliated airline companies to fly (as from March 7, 1923) on the Tallinn – Riga – Kaunas – Königsberg line. This line also served Klaipėda. On this line the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS and other Osteuropa Union-members between May and October 1923 flew 107,896 km and transported 1,061 passengers, 7,041 kg of freight and 581 kg of mail. Of the 284 flights planned, 257 were carried out (= 90% regularity). This line was served also in 1924 and 1925, during the months of May to October. While participating Osteuropa Union air service in 1923-1925, Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS flew 603,000 kilometres, carried 5,627 passengers and 84,007 kg. of freight. On May 7, the Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS joined the founders of the Europa Union KGA in Berlin, but when Europa Union KGA decided to increase its capital stock (September 1925), the Latvian Government withdrew its subsidies for the airline. As a result, the company had to pull out of the co-operation and had subsequently to cease operations under Europa Union KGA’s jurisdiction. In May 1925 Dr. Woskressenski asked Junkers’ director Dr Kaumann to investigate the possibilities of supplying Latvijas Gaisa Satiksmes AS with one Junkers F 13W and two Junkers G 24. This plan was later abandoned. The airline was not profitable. Only in the year 1924 it recorded a small profit of Latvian Lats 104.35. Out of total revenue of Lats 366,319.95, the sales of airlines tickets produced a revenue of only Lats 42,328.86. The rest came from owners and Latvian Government subsidies. The Junkers Werke AG decided to close down the airline in summer of 1926, after Latvian Government withdrew its subsidies in 1925. Subsequently both Junkers F 13s were sold in June and July of 1926 and eventually got back their German registrations and names. The company was finally dissolved by November 1928. Throughout its history, Latvijas Gaisa Satiksme operated three aircraft of single type Junkers F-13. However, at any given moment the maximum number of airline's aircraft was two. They were registered as B.L.A.T.A. and B.L.A.T.B. B.L.A.T.A. (c/n 579, former registration D-202 "Condor") was provided by "Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG". B.L.A.T.B. (c/n 631, former registration D-215 "Fasan") was provided by Danziger Luftpost GmbH. Crashed on October 15, 1924 and subsequently destroyed by fire during repair works in Königsberg. B.L.A.T.B. (c/n 570, former registration D-251 "Eule"). Received in April 1925 as replacement for B.L.A.T.B. c/n 631. On October 15, 1924 the Junkers F 13, B.L.A.T.B. has crash-landed. No accounts of victims were recorded. The aircraft was subsequently destroyed by fire during the repair works in Königsberg. On March 10, 1926 the Junkers F 13 B-LATA, leased by Aero O/y, crash-landed near Helsinki during heavy fog. Somme accounts claim that it was carrying the delegation of Latvian Air Force, which had just visited Finland. Others claim that it has one passenger on board. No accounts of victims were recorded. On April 19, 1926 the aircraft. shipped to Königsberg for repairs. The airline served following destinations: Kaunas (Aleksotas / S. Darius and S. Girėnas airport) Klaipėda () Königsberg (Devau airport) Riga (Spilve airport) Tallinn (Lasnamäe Airfield) 1. 10 Marz 1926, https://www.junkers.de/blog/bruch-und-wiederaufbau-einer-junkers-f-13/ 2.

French cruiser Alger Alger was the lead ship of her class of protected cruisers built for the French Navy in the late 1880s and early 1890s. "Alger" and her two sister ships were ordered during the tenure of Admiral Théophile Aube as Minister of Marine according to the theories of the doctrine. The ships were intended as long-range commerce raiders, and they were armed with a main battery of four guns, were protected by an armor deck that was thick, and were capable of steaming at a top speed of . "Alger" served with the Northern Squadron early in her career, where she took part in routine peacetime training exercises. In 1895, she was deployed to French Indochina, returning to France in 1897 for a stint with the Mediterranean Squadron. Placed in reserve by 1901, she remained out of service for several years. Reports conflict over her activities in the mid-1900s, with contemporary reports placing her in the Mediterranean for fleet maneuvers, while later historians state the ship was on a second tour in East Asia from 1905. Both agree that "Alger" served in Asian waters as late as 1908. The ship was reduced to a storage hulk in 1911 and remained in the fleet's inventory until 1939, when she was broken up. Admiral Théophile Aube, the French Minister of Marine in the mid-1880s, was an ardent supporter of the doctrine that emphasized long-range commerce raiding cruisers. Upon becoming the naval minister in 1886, Aube called for the construction of six large and ten small protected cruisers, though by the end of his tenure in 1887, the program had been reduced to five large, two medium, and six small cruisers. Aube ordered the first two "Alger"-class cruisers to fulfill the requirements for the first set of large cruisers, and his successor, Édouard Barbey, authorized the third. The three "Alger"s proved to be the last of the initial series of commerce raiders built under the influence of the . "Alger" was long between perpendiculars, with a beam of and a draft of . She displaced . Her crew varied over the course of her career, amounting to 387–405 officers and enlisted men. The ship's propulsion system consisted of a pair of triple-expansion steam engines driving two screw propellers. Steam was provided by twenty-four coal-burning Belleville type water-tube boilers that were ducted into two funnels. Her machinery was rated to produce for a top speed of . She had a cruising radius of at . The ship was armed with a main battery of four 28-caliber guns and six 30-cal. guns. All of these guns were placed in individual pivot mounts; the 164 mm guns were in sponsons located fore and aft, with two guns per broadside. Four of the 138 mm guns were in sponsons between the 164 mm guns, one was in an embrasure in the forecastle and the last was in a swivel mount on the stern. For close-range defense against torpedo boats, she carried a pair of 9-pounder guns, eight 3-pounder Hotchkiss guns, and eight Hotchkiss revolver cannon. She was also armed with five torpedo tubes in her hull above the waterline. Armor protection consisted of a curved armor deck that was thick, along with plating on the conning tower. The keel for "Alger" was laid down in November 1887 in Cherbourg, and her completed hull was launched on 23 November 1889. She was completed in 1891. The ship remained out of service until 1893, when she was commissioned for service with the Northern Squadron, which that time included the ironclads and , the coastal defense ship , and the protected cruiser . "Alger" took part in the fleet maneuvers in 1894; from 9 to 16 July, the ships involved took on supplies in Toulon for the maneuvers that began later on the 16th. A series of exercises included shooting practice, a blockade simulation, and scouting operations in the western Mediterranean. The maneuvers concluded on 3 August. "Alger" was sent with her sister ship on a cruise to French Indochina, departing in October 1895. She remained on station in the Far East in 1896, and returned to France in February 1897. After arriving home, she was assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron for the annual maneuvers that were conducted in July. "Alger" had been deactivated and placed in the reserve fleet by January 1901. The ship's activities in the mid-1900s are unclear; Thomas Brassey's "The Naval Annual" lists "Alger" among the vessels that took part in the fleet maneuvers in 1906, which began on 6 July with the concentration of the Northern and Mediterranean Squadrons in Algiers. The maneuvers were conducted in the western Mediterranean, alternating between ports in French North Africa and Toulon and Marseilles, France, and concluding on 4 August. But according to the historians John Jordan and Philippe Caresse, "Alger" had been reactivated in 1905 for another deployment to the Far East, along with the armored cruisers and , the protected cruiser , four gunboats, and five destroyers. "The Naval Annual" confirms that "Alger" was in service in the Far East by 1907, by which time the unit consisted of the large protected cruiser , "Bruix", the armored cruiser , and the smaller protected cruisers and , though the latter two vessels were detached from the main squadron to patrol the East Indies and Pacific, respectively. "Alger" remained in the Far East in 1908, along with "D'Entrecasteaux" and "Bruix". "Alger" was reduced to a hulk in 1911; she remained in the Navy's inventory until 1939, when she was broken up.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592199
French cruiser Isly Isly was a protected cruiser built in the late 1880s and early 1890s for the French Navy. The third member of the class, "Isly" and her sister ships were ordered during the tenure of Admiral Théophile Aube as Minister of Marine according to the theories of the doctrine. The ships were intended as long-range commerce raiders, and they were armed with a main battery of four guns, were protected by an armor deck that was thick, and were capable of steaming at a top speed of around . "Isly" initially served with the Reserve Division of the Northern Squadron, spending only part of the year in active service for training exercises. She was deployed to French Indochina from 1895 to 1896 and then again from 1897 to 1899. After returning to France, she joined the North Atlantic station, operating out of Brest. "Isly" spent the next decade serving in the Atlantic, changing units as the fleet was repeatedly reorganized; she also received new water-tube boilers in 1902. In 1908, she was briefly sent to French Morocco, and the following year she was converted into a depot ship for destroyers. She was struck from the naval register in 1914 and thereafter broken up.

She was also armed with five torpedo tubes in her hull above the waterline. Armor protection consisted of a curved armor deck that was thick, along with plating on the conning tower. "Isly" was laid down at the Arsenal de Brest in Brest, France in August 1887, the first member of her class to begin construction. She was launched on 23 June 1891 and was completed in 1893, the last member of her class to enter service. She completed her sea trials in May that year, during which she reached a top speed of using forced draft, though the test was conducted in poor weather that reduced the ship's speed by about half a knot. Later that year, she was assigned to the Reserve Division of the Northern Squadron, which that time included the ironclad , the coastal defense ships and , and the torpedo cruiser . The following year, she continued to operate with the squadron. She took part in annual training exercises that year to evaluate the effectiveness of the French coastal defense system. The squadron went to sea on 15 July and began the operations the next day, which lasted until 29 July. The maneuvers demonstrated the usefulness of torpedo boat flotillas in coastal defense, but highlighted that France's coastal defense system in the English Channel was not yet complete. "Isly" was sent with her sister ship on a cruise to French Indochina in 1895. She remained on station in the Far East into 1896, but was ordered home that year. In 1897, "Isly" returned to the Far East in company with the recently completed protected cruiser ; they joined the old ironclad and the unprotected cruiser . "Isly" had returned to France by 1899, when she was assigned to the North Atlantic station in Brest on 15 March. The ship was laid up in 1900 for an overhaul that included the replacement of her original wood decks with linoleum-covered steel. She remained out of service through early 1901 and was recommissioned on 8 April for service in the fisheries in the Atlantic. She was assigned to the Naval Division of the Atlantic Ocean, along with the protected cruisers and . "Isly" operated with the transport vessel "Manche", patrolling the fishing grounds off Newfoundland for six months of the year. The next year, "Isly" was decommissioned for a major overhaul, which included the installation of new water-tube boilers. In 1908, the Naval Division of the Atlantic was amalgamated with the Northern Squadron, and "Isly" was transferred to that command, commissioning for service on 1 January in Lorient. By that time, the squadron consisted of eight armored cruisers and four other protected cruisers. "Isly" was temporarily sent to French Morocco early in the year in company with the armored cruiser . In 1909, "Isly" was converted into a depot ship for destroyers and was likely condemned for disposal two years later. "Isly" was struck from the naval register in 1914 and subsequently sold to ship breakers for disposal.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592207

Oman–United Arab Emirates border The Oman–United Arab Emirates border consists of three non-contiguous sections totalling 609 km (378 m) in length. The northern section of border divides the Omani exclave of Musandam from the UAE Emirates of Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah. This peninsula commands the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with the Oman-UAE border consisting of a series of irregular, though roughly horizontal, lines running through mountainous terrain, from the western Persian Gulf coast to the eastern Gulf of Oman coast. The middle section of the border consists of the Omani enclave of Madha, within which is the UAE counter-enclave of Nahwa, belonging to the Emirate of Sharjah. The southern, and by far the longest section, of the frontier starts in the north on the Oman Gulf coast, just south of Kalba in the Emirate of Sharjah. It then proceeds inland roughly south-westwards via a series of irregular lines, arcing southwards so as to include Hatta within the UAE; the border then proceeds roughly south-westwards down to the Omani tripoint, save for a piece of Emirati territory south-east of Al-Ain that juts into Oman. During the 19th century Britain had signed a number of protectorate treaties with seven emirates on what was then known as the 'Pirate Coast', giving rise to the so-called Trucial States. Britain also exercised protectorate control over Oman via its sultan. Boundaries in this part of Arabia remained indistinct; Britain and the Ottoman Empire theoretically divided their realms of influence in Arabia via the so-called 'Blue' and 'Violet lines' in 1913-14, however these agreements were rendered null and void following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War. The enclaves of Madha and Nahwa appear to have arisen in the 1930s-40, following a dispute over the ownership of the area between Oman and the local emirs, which was settled by a vote amongst the village elders. The boundaries of the enclaves were fixed in 1969. In the 1950s Britain appointed Julian Walker to survey more precise boundaries between the Trucial States and Oman. However by the time of independence of the Trucial States (as the United Arab Emirates) in 1971, much of the border remained undemarcated, resulting in several disputes. The Ras Al Khaimah section of the boundary was settled in 1979 after a dispute arose in 1977-78 following the discovery of oil in the area. Relations between the two states warmed in the 1980s-90s, resulting in a border agreement for the southern section of the frontier in 1999, followed by a complete border delimitation ratified in Abu Dhabi on 22 June 2002. In 2002, the UAE announced that it was installing a fence along the UAE-Oman border (minus the Madha-Nahwa enclaves) in an effort to curb the flow of illegal migrants, illicit drugs and terrorists into the country. The barrier constructed is 12 foot barbed wire border fence. In 2003 Oman introduced an exit toll on crossing to the UAE border. In July 2004, Oman and the UAE jointly launched a three day coordinated crackdown in and around Al Buraimi and arrested approximately 1,000 illegal immigrants. There are two border crossings on the Musandam section of the border (Tibat and Dibba) and four on the main southern section (Hatta/Al Wajajah, Hilli, Jebel Hafeet and Khatmat Malaha). There are no border controls at the Madha-Nahwa enclaves.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592266

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on abortion in the United States Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-abortion government officials in several American states enacted or attempted to enact restrictions on abortion, characterizing it as a non-essential procedure that can be suspended during the medical emergency. The orders have led to several legal challenges and criticism by abortion-rights groups and several national medical organizations, including the American Medical Association. Legal challenges on behalf of abortion providers, many of which are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood, have successfully stopped some of the orders on a temporary basis, though bans in several states have not been challenged. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, many non-essential medical procedures were temporarily suspended to preserve medical resources like personal protective equipment (PPE). In the context of these orders, several Republican officials and anti-abortion advocates argued that abortion should be considered non-essential, leading to orders in multiple states explicitly prohibiting the procedure. Several medical organizations and human rights groups issued statements critical of the restrictions. The American Medical Association characterizing them as "exploiting this moment to ban or dramatically limit women's reproductive health care." The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Society of Family Planning, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine issued a joint statement that "abortion should not be categorized as [a procedure that can be delayed during the pandemic]. Abortion is an essential component of comprehensive health care. It is also a time-sensitive service for which a delay of several weeks, or in some cases days, may increase the risks or potentially make it completely inaccessible." Plan C, a website that provides information about online abortion pill vendors, noted that its traffic had doubled by March 23 and tripled by April 8. The publication "Jewish Currents" said that by mid-March its viewership for an article on how to induce an abortion was "off the charts". A March 2020 order by the State Health Officer required that "all elective dental and medical procedures shall be delayed". The Alabama Department of Public Health initially stated that abortion providers were not affected by this order. The order was amended in March 27 to ban any medical procedure except those which treat an "emergency medical condition", with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall clarifying that abortion clinics were not exempt. The American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama, representing Alabama abortion providers and clinics, challenged the order, requesting a temporary restraining order. On March 30, U.S. District Judge Myron Herbert Thompson granted the temporary restraining order, saying the attorney general's interpretation of the March 27 order was overly broad, potentially causing undue burden on abortion access. The restraining order was set to expire on April 13, 2020, with Thompson issuing a preliminary injunction on April 12 to maintain abortion access. The state lost an appeal on April 23, meaning that abortion services are still legal. In March, a mandate was issued to limit non-urgent medical procedures until after June 15. On April 6, the mandate was clarified to include surgical abortions. Specifically, no abortions could be performed "unless the life or physical health of the mother is endangered by continuation of the pregnancy during the period of postponement". However, on April 28, the ACLU reported that abortions were still happening in Alaska. The temporary ban issued in March only lasted for a week before it was replaced with a new order. The Arkansas Department of Health issued an order that all medical procedures that can be safely postponed should be rescheduled. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said that the order was inclusive of "any type of abortion that is not immediately medically necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother". Penalties for not following the order were not detailed, though Rutledge assured "decisive action". The state health department sent a cease and desist letter to one of the state's two abortion clinics for violating the order. On April 13, the ACLU sued the state of Arkansas, requesting that a district court block the ban on abortion services. A federal judge temporarily blocked the state's ban, but on April 22, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit overturned the decision and ruled that the state could restrict most surgical abortions. The prohibition on medication abortions was overturned. On April 27, an order by the Arkansas Department of Health went into effect that stated all people seeking an elective surgery, including abortion, must test negative for COVID-19 in the 48 hours before the procedure. On May 1, the ACLU filed another lawsuit against the state, saying that some women cannot easily access testing and thus the order deprives them of their right to have an abortion. On May 7, federal judge Brian Stacy Miller rejected the ACLU's motion, calling the decision "agonizingly difficult", but saying that the restriction of individual liberties could be justified during a worldwide health crisis. In March, Indiana governor Eric Holcomb signed an executive order prohibiting elective medical procedures, including abortions. The order went into effect April 1. The order was unclear on whether or not surgical abortions were still permissible. As of April 23, no legal challenges had been filed against Indiana's abortion ban. Governor Kim Reynolds included abortion as a nonessential medical procedure and temporarily banned it in response to the pandemic. Abortion providers filed a petition requesting an emergency injunction against the order, arguing that it violated women's rights under the state Constitution and "severely jeopardizes their health, safety and welfare." Iowa Solicitor General Jeffrey Thompson responded to the petition by clarifying that the order was not a blanket ban but would take medical factors into consideration, including the timing of the pregnancy. The providers withdrew the petition based on his explanation. Planned Parenthood announced that it "will resume seeing patients for in-clinic procedures, in compliance with Gov. Kim Reynolds' proclamation", while Reynolds was said to be "pleased that her proclamation remains in full effect and that surgical abortions will not be exempted from this suspension of non-essential and elective surgeries". In March, the Louisiana Department of Health issued a directive to limit non-emergency medical procedures, though abortions were not specifically mentioned. In early April, state Attorney General Jeff Landry began an investigation to determine if the state's three abortion clinics were complying with the order. On April 14, Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and the American Civil Liberties Union brought a federal lawsuit in an attempt to block Louisiana's statewide ban. The Department of Health directive has no set expiration date. In March, a Mississippi directive to temporarily ban elective, non-essential medical procedures went into effect. Governor Tate Reeves said he would enact "whatever action we need to protect the not only the lives of unborn children, but also the lives of anyone who may contract this particular virus". The Center for Reproductive Rights confirmed that Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the lone abortion clinic in Mississippi, was still open and performing procedures. On March 17, Amy Acton, Director of the Ohio Department of Health, issued an order prohibiting nonessential surgeries to preserve personal protective equipment. Governor Mike DeWine said abortions should not be performed during the pandemic except when the pregnant person's life is at risk. Attorney General Dave Yost and Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Fulkerson sent letters to abortion clinics instructing them to "immediately stop performing non-essential and elective surgical abortions", defined as "those that can be delayed without undue risk to the current or future health of a patient". Two Planned Parenthood clinics responded to the letters with a statement saying they were following the order, describing surgical abortions as necessary procedures still allowed under the emergency rules. The state's abortion providers challenged the order, represented by attorneys from the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU of Ohio, and Gerhardstein & Branch Co. Planned Parenthood filed a motion for a temporary restraining order, which was granted by US District Court Judge Michael Barrett on April 1 for 14 days. In his ruling, he said that the patient's doctor and not state government should determine whether or not an abortion is essential, and that the state failed to prove that banning surgical abortions would "result in any beneficial amount of net saving of [PPE] in Ohio such that the net saving of PPE outweighs the harm of eliminating abortion". Amicus briefs were filed by the Republican Attorneys General of fifteen states, including neighboring Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia, in support of Ohio's efforts to restrict abortion during the pandemic. Yost appealed Barrett's decision, clarifying in a court filing on behalf of the Ohio Department of Health that the order does allow medical abortion, and that "doctors remain free to perform surgical abortions necessary for a mother's health or life, and also surgical abortions that cannot be delayed without jeopardizing the patient's abortion rights." Barrett declined a request by the State of Ohio to put a hold on his order pending an appeals court decision. On April 6, the State's request for an appeal was dismissed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On April 23, Barrett issued another preliminary injunction saying that surgical abortions could proceed if a provider determines that delaying the procedure would cause the pregnancy to become viable, and thus prevent access to an abortion. Ohio law prohibits abortion past the twenty-second week of gestation. In March, Governor Kevin Stitt signed an executive order to limit elective medical procedures, later confirming that all types of abortion services were included, except for those necessary in a medical emergency or to "prevent serious health risks" to the pregnant person. On April 6, federal judge Charles Barnes Goodwin blocked the executive order, ruling that the state acted in an arbitrary, unreasonable, and oppressive way, which posed an undue burden on abortion access in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Department of Health’s news release "Issues Guidance for Resuming Elective Surgical Procedures in Oklahoma April 24" states that patients should receive a negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours of the scheduled elective procedure. On March 23, Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order to prohibit non-essential medical procedures until April 13. Lee's spokesperson Gillum Ferguson said, "Gov. Lee believes elective abortions aren’t essential procedures and given the state of PPE in Tennessee and across the country his hope and expectation would be that those procedures not take place during this crisis." The executive order did not specifically name abortion as a non-essential medical procedure, and no penalties were specified for failure to comply with the order. Lee signed another executive order on April 8, which abortion clinics said effectively banned surgical abortions. Tennessee abortion providers stated that the order was unconstitutional and added their claim to an existing federal lawsuit. The state's abortion clinics are represented by the American Civil Liberties Foundation of Tennessee, Barrett Johnston Martin & Garrison LLC, Jessee & Jessee, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Lee's executive order is scheduled to end on April 30. The ban was overturned on April 17 by district judge Bernard A. Friedman, who said that the state did not indicate that any significant amount of PPE would be preserved by banning abortions. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order on March 22 that temporarily banned elective medical procedures. Attorney General Ken Paxton warned on March 23 that all abortions were now prohibited, except those necessary to "preserve the life or health" of the pregnant person. Those found in violation of the ban could be fined up to $1,000, jailed for 180 days, and have their medical license revoked. Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and The Lawyering Project challenged the order on behalf of the state's abortion providers. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled in favor of the clinics on March 26, saying that the temporary ban on abortions "prevents Texas women from exercising what the Supreme Court has declared is their fundamental constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy before a fetus is viable". This ruling was overturned on March 31, 2020, when the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit allowed Texas to reinstate the ban. On April 11, the state's abortion providers asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and stop the ban. On April 13, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit walked back part of its prior decision, determining that medication abortions were allowable. This was reversed once more on April 20, when the Fifth Circuit once again said that the state could block access to medication abortions. The executive order blocking procedures that are not immediately medically necessary expired April 21. On April 22, the state announced that surgical and medication abortions could resume. Governor Jim Justice signed an executive order temporarily barring elective medical procedures. On April 2, state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey stated that the order included abortions, and implied legal consequence's against the state's lone clinic if abortions proceeded. On April 25, a lawsuit was filed by the ACLU, ACLU of West Virginia, and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr on behalf of Women's Health Center of West Virginia in an attempt to block the temporary abortion ban.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592392
Ferulic acid decarboxylase Ferulic acid decarboxylases (Fdc) are decarboxylase enzymes capable of the reversible decarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids such as ferulic acid and cinnamic acid. Fdc's are fungal homologues of the "E.coli" UbiD enzyme which is involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis. This places Fdc within the wider UbiD enzyme family, representing a distinct clade within the family Presence of "fdc1" and the associated "pad1" genes (Pad1 homologous to UbiX in "E.coli") were shown to be required for the decarboxylation of phenylacrylic acids in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae". In 2015 the cofactor prFMN was discovered in the active site of Fdc1 from "Aspergillus niger" (AnFdc) by crystallography, prior to this genetic studies had lead to the assumption that both UbiD and UbiX encoded isofunctional decarboxylases. In actuality UbiX/Pad were found to be flavin preyltransferases supplying the prFMN cofactor to UbiD/Fdc where it is utilised for the reversible decarboxylation of alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acid substrates. Since the discovery of prFMN AnFDC has become the most well understood representative of the UbiD enzyme family In the same paper in which the structure of prFMN was deduced in the active site of AnFdc1 there was a proposal for the mechanism by which Fdc1 decarboxylates α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Not all UbiD enzymes decarboxylate acrylic acid substrates and other mechanisms may be at play for alternative substrates. In the case of AnFdc1 it was noted that prFMN displays an azomethine ylide characteristic C4a-N5+=C1’(Figure 1). This is a well-known 1,3-dipole in organic chemistry, positioned in the enzyme active site near to the α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid substrate which contains a 1,3-dipolarophile. Thus, it was proposed that a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition mechanism was responsible for the enzymatic decarboxylation. This was confirmed in a later paper The mechanism proposed in for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition by Fdc1 is as follows (intermediates represented in Figure 1): A study went on to present evidence for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, due to suspected turnover of cinnamic acid a crystal structure of AnFdc1 in complex with α-fluorocinnamic acid revealed the substrate Cα and Cβ carbons are located directly above the prFMNiminium C1’ and C4a respectively (shown as Sub in Figure 1 - with cinnamic acid as opposed to α-fluorocinnamic acid). Cinnamic acid was confirmed to bind in a similar manner using inactive AnFdc1 crystals containing FMN. The AnFdc1 E282Q mutant crystallised with cinnamic acid revealed a structure corresponding to the Int2 species, this was taken to mean that progression through the 1,3-dipolarcycloadition cycle was halted as E282 is unable to donate a proton to the alkene moiety. In order to observe the Int1 and Int3 structures alkyne analogues were used. Like alkenes these compounds can also act as dipolarophiles but cycloaddition would yield a cycloadduct containing a double bond. An inactive AnFdc1 enzyme (with prFMNradical bound) co-crystallised with the phenylpropiolic acid revealed binding in a similar manner to the α-fluorocinnamic acid AnFdc1 and cinnamic acid AnFdc1 with FMN bound (Inhib). An active AnFdc1 enzyme co-crystallised with phenylpropiolic acid revealed clear density for a 3-pyrroline cycloadduct (Int3’) between the alkyne and prFMNiminium. Int3’ represents a structure post decarboxylation, so it was assumed that over the time it took for crystallisation (~24h) the decarboxylation had occurred. Using a rapid soaking procedure, a different cycloadduct was observed that retained the carboxyl moiety (Int1’).	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592402
Octagon (novel) Octagon is a novel by Fred Saberhagen published in 1981. "Octagon" is a novel in which Alex Barrow discovers that someone is killing his opponents in the science fiction play-by-mail game "Starweb". Greg Costikyan reviewed "Octagon" in "Ares Magazine" #11 and commented that ""Octagon" is a good mystery novel which explores a rather interesting theme: the idea that a clever programmer can manipulate records and programs in our computer-based world to his own ends."	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592508
High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission "High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission" (stylized as HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE 3 ／ FINAL MISSION) is a 2017 Japanese action film directed by Shigeaki Kubo and Tsuyoshi Nakakuki. It's the fourth film of the High&Low franchise, and as the final episode(the third film) focusing on the war between yakuza organization Kuryu Group and the SWORD gangs, it follows the story of "High&Low The Movie""," "High&Low The Red Rain", and "High&Low The Movie 2 / End of Sky""." The fight the SWORD gangs are carrying on to protect their town is coming to an end, and they are working together to defeat the evil Kuryu Group thoroughly. "High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission" was announced on March 18, 2017, alongside "High&Low The Movie 2 / End of Sky""," while It was also announced that the film will be released on November 11, 2017, after "High&Low The Movie 2 / End of Sky"""' s release in August. While "High&Low The Movie" has already been a film with a large number of characters, "High&Low The Movie 2 / End of Sky" and "High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission" add even more characters and cast to the series. The film's ensemble cast includes not only a large number of members of the Exile Tribe, Takanori Iwata, Akira, Sho Aoyagi, Keiji Kuroki, Takahiro, Hiroomi Tosaka and Naoto for examples, but also actors like Kento Hayashi, Masataka Kubota, and Yuki Yamada. After "High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission" is released, the "High&Low" series has featured more than one hundred characters. The film premiered in Tokyo on October 31, 2017. It grossed 1.31 billion yen in Japan. The members of the SWORD gangs (Sannoh Rengokai (Hoodlum Squad), White Rascals, Oya Koukou (Oya High School), Rude Boys, and Daruma Ikka) joined forces to win the "Battle of Kokuhakudō Station" against the infamous Doubt and Prison Gang. However, just as it looks like the winner has been decided, Yoshitatsu Zenshin, who leads the Zenshinkai of Kuryu Group, barges into the scene. The "power of adults" wielded by Kuryu Group was far more powerful than the SWORD gangs could have imagined. After being arrested once because of the confidential information in a USB device disclosed by Kohaku, Tsukumo, and the Amamiya brothers, who had risked their lives to do so, Ryushin Kuze, the president of Kuryu Group, is immediately released due to insufficient evidence. In order to devastate those rebellious youths, the entire Kuryu Group unites to carry out the "SWORD Destruction Action"... Sannoh Rengokai (Hoodlum Squad)'s precious companions are hunted down and hung in their beloved local town. White Rascals are driven out of their precious castle club, HEAVEN, by the power of money, and both Oya Koukou (Oya High School) and the home of the Daruma Ikka are destroyed. To protect his companions, Cobra goes to challenge Kuryu Group to a fight on his own, but he is abducted and tortured. What's more, as instructed by Kuryu Group, heavy machinery enters the Nameless Street, aiming to destroy the town thoroughly. Smoky senses that his family is in danger, and tells everyone to run away, but he stays there alone to face the enemy. Kuryu Group, colluding with the government, is planning to blow up the Nameless Street in the SWORD district and build a casino on the site to cover up misconduct of the government. Upon learning this fact, Kohaku sets out to rescue Cobra. Kohaku, Tsukumo, the SWORD gangs' members, and the Amamiya brothers, meet together to find the "three proofs" to expose the cover-up. They decide to crush Kuryu Group's ambitions forever. "This is the last time we're going to fight!" As the government's bombing ceremony in the SWORD area is about to begin, the youth of the SWORD gangs rush to carry out their "final mission" to beat the overwhelming strength of Kuryu Group. The final battle of SWORD, which will be passed down as a legend, begins. Masayasu Yagi as Kabuto Ijuin, whose family has a barbershop on the Sannoh shopping street.

The film grossed 1.31 billion yen in total. Japanese rapper, writer and critic Utamaru commented that film had its shining points, writing " There are so many great scenes in High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission, and these scenes, which include all the details of special effects, photography, art, and costumes, are unprecedented in the history of Japanese cinema, both in terms of surrealism and quality, and in terms of ideas. When Exile Tribe makes a film, they will add a lot of "fight=dance" scenes and they will play songs of themselves at the same time, which just makes sense for films of the Exile Tribe." He also pointed out the film was different from its prequel, High&Low The Movie 2 / End of Sky, stating that " "High&Low The Movie 2 / End of Sky" was a streak of gorgeous scenes. While this time, "3" doesn't go in the direction of "2". That said, beyond the scenes, the film puts its emphasis on reclaiming the storytelling flow of all the films in the prequel series. As such, this time the story is easily accessible, making High&Low The Movie 3 / Final Mission one of the most accessible film in the "High&Low" series.

Ingeborg Brun Ingeborg Brun (27 June 1872–19 May 1929) was a Danish amateur astronomer, socialist and writer and best known for her hand-painted globes depicting the surface of Mars. Although she made only a small number of them, Brun's museum-owned globes (called manuscript globes) "deserve special mention for their beauty and detailed rendering of the supposed Martian canals." Emmy Ingeborg Brun, more commonly known as Ingeborg Brun, was born in 1872 in Copenhagen, Denmark. She was the daughter of a court hunter Alexander Brun and his third wife Louise (born Wolff) and had two older brothers, Carl Frederik Emil Brun (born 1865) and Alf Harald Brun (born 1866). Brun spent nine years in a mental institution. According to her diary, her brother Alf had her put there and only after nine years did she succeed, with the help of friends, to attest that she was not insane and able to return to society in 1910. However, by that time, at about 38 years of age, she was physically ill and remained confined to her bed for the rest of her life. Although Brun lacked formal astronomical training and did not have a telescope or binoculars, she was an enthusiastic researcher. By extensively reading the works of contemporary astronomers, she taught herself about the skies and philosophy. Of special note were the books about Mars by American Percival Lowell (1855–1916) and the Martian observations of Italian Giovanni Schiaparelli, as well as the socialist ideas of American political scientist Henry George, who hoped that Mars could be the ideal place for a new, free society. Milanese astronomer Schiaparelli first observed a network of dark lines on the surface of Mars in 1855 and had suggested that they were artificial canals, which turned out to be optical illusions. When he published his findings, along with the first detailed modern map of Mars, he named them "canali," and suggested that they were built by a socialist regime as a planet-wide system without any national boundaries. His conjectures were supported by Lowell's observations of the planet from his observatory (now Lowell Observatory) in Flagstaff, Arizona. Lowell claimed the canals showed evidence of life on the planet and Brun became intrigued by these “canals.” From 1905 to 1909, apparently during her institutionalization, Brun adapted Lowell's maps into "manuscript globes," painting Martian worlds over existing globes of Earth. Brun was intrigued by Lowell’s vision of the planet’s infrastructure, which she thought was evidence of a radically different cooperative Martian social order. Therefore, her globes overlay Lowell's territorial observations with Schiaperelli's nomenclature for the planet's features, most of which are no longer used. Each globe is unique. Brun’s typical globe was made using paper mache to cover the preprinted surface of a globe, which she then hand-colored and inked. As she painted the planet's features, carefully transcribing Lowell's maps, she incorporated imagined oases and areas of seasonal vegetation named and connected by a series of canals. The wood or bronze base of some globes were inscribed with text similar to: "Mars efter Lowekks Glober 1894-1914". One had a diameter of 20 cm (about 7.8 inches), height of 38-40 cm (about 15 inches). Another had a diameter of 14 cm (5 1/2 inches), and a height of 29 cm (about 11 inches). Notably, Brun's Mars globes were built with the south pole at the top of the axis and the north pole at the bottom. This inverted view corresponds to the way Mars was viewed from Earth's northern hemisphere using an astronomical telescope. Brun donated globes to several astronomers, astronomical observatories and institutions. She sent one to Lowell himself in 1915, who replied warmly that it was "a capital piece of work," although, he said, it was initially stopped at customs because the officers there mistook it for a bomb. Fewer than ten of Brun's globes have been identified. One example appeared at auction at Bonham's New York on 5 December 2012, selling for $50,000 (Lot 129). Brun's globes have been located at these institutions: Brun remained bedridden until her death on 19 May 1929 at her house at Svendborg.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592614
Surdism = Surdism = In 2009, the Surdism Manifesto was created by the French DeafBlind artist and activist named Arnaud Balard. Similarly to De'VIA, visual art unique to the Deaf experience expands to other mediums of cultural expression such as: film, theater, and literature. This also is non exclusive to the those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and can include hearing artist as long as the art shows the Deaf experience. Arnaud Balard is a Deafblind artist. Born in 1970, Balard was the only member of his family who was deaf. He went to school using the oral tradition, and when he turned the age of 9, he had been completely put into a mainstream school and continued this platform of education until he graduated high school. After this, he decided to go to a university in Paris with a deaf program; here is where he learned sign language and his "identity started to grow and continue during [his] time there." Within this program, he found his passion for art and found his identity as a Deaf Artist. He knew that he did not fit in with the Hearing Artist community. He wanted to establish his own Deaf art identity, but when he started Balard was keeping the art to himself and not showing it to the world. When he had learned about De'Via, and the concepts of Audism and Deafhood had been exposed to him, he knew he had "identified something" and "things started to come together". This was the "crystallization [he] had been looking for". Balard started showing his work to the public after this realization. In May 2009, at the Festival de National in Rennes, France, he exhibit his work publicly in a booklet. That same year he published the Surdism Manifesto. The Surdist Manifesto reads as follows:"Surdism is an artistic, philosophical and cultural movement initiated by Arnaud Balard. This movement offers a renewed and strengthened affirmation of Deaf culture. A manifesto was written and published by Arnaud Balard in 2009, which defines the philosophy targeted by this groundbreaking project of cultural expression. Reputedly “invisible”, the Deaf* community paradoxically offers a visual and linguistic culture ready to be seen and shared. And artists have this specific advantage of being able to give life to this identity originality. They support, narrate and reveal this culture of signs, this very particular experience of being Deaf in a world which is not. Concretely, the movement of Surdism offers a shared name under which each one can individually exist and assert oneself. If an artist creates alone, he can easily be thought of as isolated and be said to represent no one except himself. When several artists opt for the approach which consists in getting united under a single movement, they gain – each one individually – credibility and visibility. And through a snowball effect, they provoke another perception of the Deaf community they claim they belong to. The goal is clearly to gather all the artists (sculpture, painting, photography, literature, signed poetry, cinema, theater, installations, videos...) who are willing to, in order to strengthen the focus on the existence of the Deaf world. Through exchanges and exhibitions on Deaf cultural, philosophical and artistic topics (experiences, history, politics, language, audism, deafhood...), surdism offers to consolidate the emergence of Deaf artists. It is important to understand that there are very few ways to save records of history, values and traditions of the Deaf culture. Art is one of these ways. By naming Deaf art, we give it life and we define it. A legitimate, strong, unique act which conveys the idea of belonging to the world. Naming oneself means purely and solely to exist. Surdism therefore aims to be a powerful act of emancipation, and to support an improved mutual recognition of Deaf creation. (*) = by Deaf we mean any person who is included into the Deaf community. This term encompasses and connects people who master sign language, who share the fundamental values which consolidate the community. Thus, it does not refer to audiograms. Arnaud Balard artist august 2012 MANIFESTO OF SURDISM We, Deaf, turn down any discrimination created by the exclusive and oppressive socio-medical vision - called AUDISM -, from which springs imprisonment, depreciation and denial of our identity. Indeed, if audists consider being deaf as an infirmity, a suffering to be looked after and cured, a sensory lack to repair, and think it is necessary to act very precociously on this impairment, we, Deaf, do not perceive it this way, and wish to express it vigorously but proudly. This manifesto is a vibrating appeal to express once again that we are Deaf, yes, but not disabled people. We don't want to be seen through this single frame of reparation, which mentally and intellectually alienates us by summarizing us with a mere stereotype of hearing impaired individual. To be able to stand up for ourselves as “other” but certainly not “less”, we must oppose this reductive trend of thought. Together, we must mobilize to restore, to its right social, political and public place, being Deaf. Being Deaf is a relationship, it implies an exchange between two people, and it reveals an unshared communication. It is only that, at the beginning. No one is deaf alone, one is in relation to the other. And it is the vision from the other that the most urgently needs to be fixed. MANIFESTO OF SURDISM Surdism is an artistic, philosophical and cultural movement which aims to carry militant values against the still lingering obscurantism which make us prisoners, we Deaf, of judgements, and above all of a destiny, on which we don’t really have the right to sign. Surdism is thus a revendication and a signing out in public space, and to get its aim, it must be clearly written, read, signed and shared in order to exist. This is why this manifesto conveys with visibility this act of emancipation which refutes audism and its dominant and censuring point of view. It is a Deaf intellectual and artistic movement through which we signify: - We, surdists, offer to express ourselves by literature, theater, cinema, painting, sculpture or any other form of expression, by exploring anything which concerns, in one way or another, being Deaf, Deafhood, Deaf people and their position in social space. - We claim that our movement carries creativity, inclusion, complementarity and mutual enrichment. - We will artistically mobilize in order to create a frame of mind of Deafhood – which intends to be an enlightened attitude that anyone can share. MANIFESTO OF SURDISM As long as the linguistic specificity is acknowledged and accepted for its true worth, and as long as the values of exchange, respect, communication and equality are shared. We want therefore surdism to create and sharpen a Deafhood in other people; let it be a bridge between you and us, a walkway that each one can cross freely. - We support and mobilize ourselves through our artistic means, unambiguously, to carve a space for the Deaf community's linguistic and sociocultural specificity. - We stand up for artistic expression about, of and through Sign Language as a link of social union, and not as a linguistic and cultural division. - We pay tribute to those who openly and publicly supported and carried our potential, despite of and against obstacles, through Deaf History. Well-known or obscure, they carried up the faith of surdism to us, even though they did not name it explicitly. It is incumbent to us to redefine it, to connect to each other, and to work to make our social place visible and real. Surdism wants to be an international collective movement which carries a positive, constructive, militant and inclusive philosophy. You people who share these values, do join us ! Let's denounce the prejudices, let's stimulate our creativity and call in a new Community force in the spirit of universality, beyond our national borders. Fellow members, express ourselves through surdism !" The word Surdism comes from the Latin word "surdus" meaning "deaf", unresponsive to what is said," or "falling on deaf ears". "Ism" comes from the "ideas and movements humans have engaged in to show their values, whether it is positive or negative." This also is defined as " practice, system, doctrine". Nancy Rourke, Deaf Artist and Artivist, has published multiple painting portraying the importance of Sudism. One of her most popular pieces is called Surdism-De’VIA Journey (2016). This piece of work was updated to include the second wave of De'Via, Surdism. Rourke updated the painting the include the following in the white swirls: "SECOND WAVE OF De'VIA, WHAT IS SURDISM?, SOCIAL CHANGE, ARTIVISM, TRUTH BE TOLD, DEAF EXPERIENCE, COLLABORATION, FLY, FLY, SOAR, SOAR, and PAH!"	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592621
Thiyagu (film) Thiyagu is a 1990 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by S. P. Muthuraman and written by Sivasankari. Produced by AVM Productions. It is based on the TV series "Oru Manidhanin Kathai", itself based on Sivasankari's novel by the same name. The film stars Raghuvaran, reprising his role from the TV series. It was released on 5 October 1990, and failed commercially. "Oru Manidhanin Kathai", a novel written by Sivasankari and serialised in the magazine "Ananda Vikatan" in 1978–79, was adapted into a TV series by the same name in 1985 and starred Raghuvaran. AVM Productions later decided to adapt this series into a feature film titled "Thiyagu"; Raghuvaran returned in the same role, and S. P. Muthuraman was hired as director. Muthuraman charged no fee for the film. The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh. "Thiyagu" was released on 5 October 1990. The film was screened for the then chief minister of Tamil Nadu M. Karunanidhi who liked it. A filmed speech of his was attached to the final cut. Despite this, it failed commercially and won no awards.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592676
Their Majesties' Bucketeers Their Majesties' Bucketeers is a novel by L. Neil Smith published in 1981 as part of his North American Confederacy series. "Their Majesties' Bucketeers" is a novel in which Offe Woom investigates the death of a professor on a world inhabited by trisexual tripedal aliens. Greg Costikyan reviewed "Their Majesties' Bucketeers" in "Ares Magazine" #11 and commented that ""Bucketeers" is an appealing novel, for three reasons: first, the character of the aliens, who are very human while remaining very alien; second, the Victorian character of their civilization, and third, the apparent verve and enjoyment with which Smith writes."	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592770
Jisr el-Majami Jisr el-Majami or Jisr al-Mujamieh (, and , "Gesher", lit. "Bridge") is an ancient stone bridge, possibly of Roman origin, over the Jordan River on the border between Israel and Jordan. The name is derived from the bridge's location south of the confluence of the Yarmouk and Jordan rivers. The bridge is long, with one main arch through which the water normally flows. In addition it has six smaller arches, higher up in a second row, presumably to help the flow during flooding of the river. The main arch is the only one which has a permanent flow of water. The bridge has voussoirs throughout its vault, differing from well known Mamluk bridges such as the Daughters of Jacob Bridge, Yibna Bridge and Jisr Jindas, which use small stones in the vault of their arches. The bridge shows at least two major phases of construction; a possibly Roman-origin lower level and the upper pointed arches likely from the medieval period. Some sources state that the bridge was built in Roman times, and others that it was built in the Middle Ages. A 1925 letter written by the Palestine Department of Antiquities wrote that the bridge was first built in Roman times. This is supported by a Roman milestone discovered nearby, which given the scarcity of other local structures makes it likely that a Roman river crossing existed at the point. Al-Muqaddasi (c. 945/946 - 991), described "beyond the lower end of the Lake of Tiberias is a great bridge, over which lies the road to Damascus", however, Andrew Petersen believes that Al-Muqaddasi may have been referring to Jisr es-Sidd, further north (by Um al-Junah, near modern-day Degania Bet). The bridge underwent at least two major repairs during medieval times, by Usama al-Halabi during the reign of Saladin (1174–93), and one by a "Jamal ad-Din" in 1266–67. Shihab al-Umari, writing in the mid 1300s, wrote of a renovated stop en route from Beisan to Irbid called Jisr al Mujami, also knows as Jisr Usama, after Saladin's emir who repaired it. A manuscript in the Bibliothèque nationale de France states that it was built by Mamluk sultan Barquq (r. 1380s–90s). An epitaph of a Muslim from Bitlis who drowned at Jisr al Majami in October 1308 has been found under the Ottoman floor in the khan. A map from Napoleon's invasion of 1799 by Pierre Jacotin showed the bridge, named as "Pont de Magama", and the adjacent Khan, marked "Caravanserail". James Finn wrote in 1868 that the bridge was "in tolerably good condition, with one large and several smaller arches in two rows, and a dilapidated khan at the western end... The khan has been a strong edifice, but the stones of the massive gateway, especially the great keystone, are split across, as if from the effects of gunpowder." Finn noted a story of "the wandering minstrels, even now among the Bedaween, sing the songs of the forty orphan youths who competed in poetic compositions under the influence of love for an Arab maiden at the bridge of Mejama'a." The PEF's "Survey of Western Palestine" (SWP) noted that the name was related to the "Bridge of the Gatherer", which became the As-Sirāt. The bridge played a strategic role in World War I; it was captured by the 19th Lancers during the Capture of Afulah and Beisan. When the Rutenberg concession was given, it was defined as the area around Jisr Majami. The bridge was spared during the 1946 Night of the Bridges, but was damaged during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, primarily caused by the explosion of mines placed on the parallel 1920s road bridge. The bridge was renovated in 2014 by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities together with the Jordanian Department of Antiquities and the Israel Antiquities Authority. A railway bridge was built parallel to it in the early 20th century to carry to Jezreel Valley railway, opened in 1905, and a road bridge was built in the early 1920s. At below sea-level, it was the lowest point ever reached by railway anywhere in the world. Around 1365 a khan (caravanserai) was built at Jisr al Majami. In 1849, William F. Lynch described the ruins of the khan as “A ruined khan crowned the crest of the hill, at the foot of which large masses of volcanic rock or tufa were lying about, as if shaken from the solid mass by the spasm of an earthquake. The khan had evidently been a solid structure and destroyed by some convulsion, so scattered were the thick and ponderous masses of masonry.” In 1875 Victor Guérin visited, and noted the remains of the deserted khan. The khan was two stories high, built around a courtyard. It was built of basalt stones, with the gates done in the ablaq style; alternating white and black stones. The khan had only one entry. Not far from the khan Guérin noted the ancient bridge, with a central arch being much larger than the side-arches. In 1882 the Palestine Exploration Fund's "Survey of Western Palestine" (SWP) described a "ruined Khan, or 'hostel', a large square building with vaults beneath, still in a good state of preservation." A small settlement in the caravanserai existed until the early 20th century, in the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Jisr al Majami had a population of 121; 112 Muslims, 4 Jews and 5 Christians, where all the Christians were of the Orthodox faith. Following the building of the First Jordan Hydro-Electric Power House, the population had totally changed in the 1931 census to a total of 320; 3 Muslim, 316 Jewish and 3 Christian, in a total of in 43 houses. Some of these building were inside the khan itself. 13 August 1939, at the end of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, a fortified "wall and tower" settlement was established, known as Kibbutz Gesher. In the 1945 statistics Jisr al Majami had 250 inhabitants; 230 Jews, 10 Muslims and 10 Christians, and the total land area was 458 dunams. A total of 15 dunams were used for citrus and bananas, 274 dunums were used for cereals, while 169 dunams were classified as uncultivable land. The area was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and rebuilt approximately west in what is now Gesher, Israel.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592774
Dmitry Dashkov Dmitry Vasilyevich Dashkov (January 5, 1789 – December 8, 1839) was a Russian writer and dignitary, founder of the literary society "Arzamas". In the last ten years of his life, since 1832, he headed the Ministry of Justice as Minister. Dashkov was the son of the Ryazan landowner Vasily Andreyevich Dashkov (1749–1802), leader of the nobility of the Spassky district. He was educated at home before joining the Moscow State University, where he earned two silver medals and saw his name commemorated in gold letters on a marble plaque. In October 1801, he joined the Moscow archive of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, where he became friends with Dmitry Bludov. In 1810, when Ivan Dmitriev was appointed the Minister of Justice, Dashkov went to serve in Saint Petersburg under the Ministry of Justice. On July 14, 1818, with the rank of State Adviser, he was appointed the second adviser to the Russian embassy in Constantinople under the control of Count Kapodistrias. Recalled on January 3, 1820, from his post at the Embassy of Constantinople, Dashkov, on behalf of the Minister, was engaged in the review and bringing into proper position of the Russian consulates in the Levant. In 1822, he was appointed manager of the Constantinople mission, and the following year he was appointed a member of the Council of the Drafting Law Commission, with the preservation of his position in the department of a Foreign Collegium. With the accession of Nicholas I of Russia to the throne, begins the rapid rise of Dashkov, partly due to friendship with Bludov. At the end of 1826, Dashkov received the title of Secretary of State and was appointed assistant minister of the interior. In 1828, he received the Order of Saint Anna of the 1st class and was appointed to follow Nicholas I into the main apartment of the active army. Upon returning from there, on March 26, 1829, he was appointed fellow Minister of Justice and awarded the rank of Privy Councillor. On April 24 of the same year, Dashkov was ordered to be in charge of the spiritual affairs of foreign confessions during the absence of State Secretary Bludov, and in the absence of Prince Dolgoruky, he took over the Ministry of Justice. He was awarded the Order of the White Eagle. On February 2, 1832, he was called to take the post of Minister of Justice, while retaining the title of state secretary. In the same year, he was awarded the Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky for excellent service. On February 14, 1839, he was promoted to the rank of Actual Privy Councillor, appointed member of the State Council, Chairman of the Department of Laws and Head of the Second Division of His Majesty's Chancellery, with the title of General Manager, which was then assigned to all subsequent heads of the Second Division. It is known that while in the post of Minister of Justice he once presented to Emperor Nicholas I of Russia about taking back one Highest Command, which was sent for promulgation, but contrary to existing laws. He participated in the creation of the first "Code of Laws of the Russian Empire", organized an inventory of the affairs of the Moscow Archive. In 1826 and 1835, he worked in commissions on the peasant question. At the initiative of Dashkov, the composition of the Senate office was improved, the clerical work in the Senate was subject to certain rules, which established the turn in the report of cases, the rules for drawing up definitions in the Senate were worked out. In 1839, he died of Tabes Dorsalis in Saint Petersburg and was buried in the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Dashkov's initial literary experiments date back to his time at the university hostel and consist of translations from French: in the second book of the "Morning Dawn" of 1803 his idyll is printed: "Traces of the Golden Age", in the third book of 1805 his article appeared: "On Suicide", and in 1804 in the periodical: "And Rest in Favor", he placed an essay entitled: "Sciences, Arts, Scientists, Artists and Universities in Germany". Literary fame is associated with his active participation in the debate about the old and new syllables. The article «Analysis of "Two Articles from La Harpe"» in the "Flower Garden" of 1810, Nos. 11 and 12, contains an analysis of Shishkov's book: "Translation of Two Articles from La Harpe", published back in 1808. In the book "On the Easiest Way to Object to Criticism" (Saint Petersburg, 1811), he proved that some of the examples cited by Shishkov from old books, as the beauty of the Slavic language, are just a literal translation from Greek. Ivan Dmitriev instructed him to publish Zhukovsky's "Singer in the Camp of Russian Warriors", to which Dashkov wrote notes. In 1810, Dashkov was elected a member of the Saint Petersburg Society of Lovers of Literature, Science and Art and in the organ of society: "Saint Petersburg Herald" posted several articles and notes signed with the letter D. In the first part of the Saint Petersburg Bulletin of 1812, an article with a guiding value: "Something About Magazines", then two reviews: one on "The History of Suvorov" by Yegor Fuchs, the other on "Voltaire's Jokes", and finally, an anonymous review to Shishkov's book: "Adding to Conversations About Literature, or Objections to Objections Made to This Book". In 1812, he was expelled from the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science, and the Arts, in which at one time he was chairman. This was due to the admission to the Society of Count Khvostov. Dashkov objected to this but was forced to obey the majority. Upon entry, Khvostov greeted him with a speech in which he ironically extolled Khvostov's creations with the syllable of "Conversations". The next day, Khvostov invited Dashkov to dinner and made him understand that he understood the mockery, but was not angry. Others from the "Society", however, considered that Dashkov had insulted a member of the company and was subject to exclusion based on the charter. Together with Dmitry Bludov and Vasily Zhukovsky, Dashkov was the founder and one of the most active members of the literary society "Arzamas" and was nicknamed "Chu" here. In 1815, he was one of the worst persecutors of Prince Shakhovskoy, who in his comedy: "A Lesson in Coquette or Lipetsk Waters" ridiculed Zhukovsky, introducing the poet Fialkin in comedy. In the "Son of the Fatherland" of 1815 (Part 25, No. 42, Pages 140–148), Dashkov printed: "Letter to the Newest Aristophanes", in which he exposed Prince Shakhovsky as an intriguer, envious and guilty of Ozerov's death, then composed a cantata against Shakhovsky, which was sung choir by all Arzamasers. This cantata was published by Pimen Arapov in the Annals of the Russian Theater (pages 241–242), and extracts from it were given in the 1875 Russian Archive (Book III, page 358). In 1816, at the meeting of Arzamas on the occasion of the election of Vasily Pushkin as his member, Dashkov made a speech directed generally against Shishkov's "Conversations of Lovers of the Russian Word" and in particular against Prince Shakhovsky. This speech was published in the Russian Archive of 1876 (Book I, pages 65–66). During his four-year stay in Constantinople at the Russian embassy and then, while traveling in Greece, having thoroughly studied the Greek language and familiarizing himself with Greek poetry, Dashkov diligently searched for ancient manuscripts in various book depositories, and repeatedly tried to get acquainted with the treasures of the library of seraglio. The result of his passion for Greek poetry and the search for manuscripts was a series of prose articles by Dashkov, as well as a number of poetic translations from Greek anthologies. In "Northern Flowers" there were articles by Dashkov: "Mount Athos. Excerpt from a Trip to Greece in 1820" (1825, Pages 119–161), "The News of Greek and Latin Manuscripts in the Seraglio Library" (1825, Pages 162–165), "Russian Fans in Jerusalem. Excerpt from a Trip to Greece and Palestine in 1820" (1826, Pages 214–283), "A Few More Words About the Seraglio Library" (1826, Pages 283–296). The last article is Dashkov's response to the comments of the Bologna General Bulletin, which doubted the reliability of the information published by Dashkov about the library of seraglio. In the same Northern Flowers (1825, Pages 305–312), Dashkov's translations were published in verses under the title: "Flowers Selected from Greek Apeology", then poetic translations from Greek under the same title were published in the Polar Star in 1825 (Pages 278–286) and in the Moscow Telegraph of 1828 (Volume XIX, No. 1, Page 46), moreover, in the last journal without any signature. In 1813, Dashkov, on behalf of Ivan Dmitriev, published "The Singer in the Camp of Russian Warriors", with the publisher's notes signed by D. D.'s initials. In 1820, he also published a pamphlet by Sergey Uvarov and Konstantin Batyushkov: "On Greek Anthology". In addition, Dashkov prepared a translation of some of Herder's works in the manuscript and intended it for a Russian-German literary collection entitled "Aonids", the publication of which Zhukovsky intended to begin in 1817 or 1818. With almost all members of the society of "Arzamas geese" Dashkov, "Chu" was briefly familiar with many of them who conducted active friendly correspondence and was a recognized authority in the field of literary and artistic criticism. In 1814, Vasily Pushkin dedicated a poem to Dashkov: "My Dear Friend in a Country Where the Volga Flows Along with the River Banks...". In 1838, at the suggestion of Alexander Shishkov, he was elected a member of the Russian Academy. Wife (from May 30, 1830) – Elizaveta Vasilyevna Pashkova (1809–1890), daughter of the wealthy miner Vasily Pashkov. According to a contemporary, Madame Dashkova was a typical high-ranking woman, beautiful, domineering, of direct character and of a lively, serious mind. In 1835, the Dashkov couple became owners of the Blagoveshchensk Smelter near Ufa. In marriage had four children:	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592828
National Federation of Chemical Industries The National Federation of Chemical Industries (, FNIC) is a trade union representing workers in the chemical industry in France. The union was founded in 1907 as the Oil and Gas Workers' Federation, as an affiliate of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT). In 1909, it was renamed as the Federation of Chemical Products. In 1921, it suffered a major split, with left-wingers forming the United Federation of Chemical Industries, but they rejoined in 1935, with their general secretary, Eduoard Finck, becoming secretary of the merged union. By 1994, the union's membership had fallen 22,156. It has since stabilised, and was 24,814 in 2019.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592865
Vickers Medium Dragon The Vickers Medium Dragon was a fully-tracked British field artillery tractor made by Vickers Ltd., produced in various versions from 1922 to 1937. It was developed from the carrier version of a 'Tropical Tank' designed by Lt-Colonel Philip Johnson, using components from the running gear of the Vickers Medium Mark I tank. The Mark IV version of the Medium Dragon was effectively a complete re-design, using the running gear from the Vickers 6-ton tank which was not adopted by the British Army. The Army finally decided in 1935 to purchase only wheeled artillery tractors, and no more were sold in the UK, but the Medium Dragon Mark IV sold well in export versions up to 1937. The Medium Dragons towed a wide range of artillery, from 18-pounder to 60-pounder guns. From c1929 Vickers-Armstrongs also made the Light Dragon tractor for towing light artillery, with a similar name but of a completely different design based on early versions of Vickers Light Tanks. Although there had been previous efforts to motorise heavy artillery transport duringthe First World War (eg the Holt tractor, the Gun Carrier Mark I and the Foster-Daimler Artillery Tractor to tow the 15-inch howitzer, the vast majority of British field artillery was still horse-drawn.See also Horses in World War I § Logistical support. Maj.-Gen. Sir Louis Jackson, formerly director of Trench warfare at the War Office, suggested in a lecture that he gave in December 1919 that the army should organize the entirety of its transport on the basis of trucks; the infantry, artillery, and engineers should be carried in tracked tractors and cross-country trucks capable of transporting them swiftly and safely across the battlefield. By late 1921 the War Office had begun the process of mechanising the Army's artillery: The United Service Gazette reporting "The War Office have given instructions for the four batteries of the 9th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, now stationed at Deepcut, in the Aldershot Command, to be "mechanicalised" for the purpose of practical experiments. All the horses of the Brigade, except those of the officers, have been withdrawn and sent to the Remount Department. The personnel of the Brigade are now being trained to drive and to repair the kind of tractors to be used. It is understood that a tractor ﬁtted with caterpillar tracks has been officially recommended for the trials, which are to take place shortly in the Aldershot Command. It is urged in favour of mechanical draught that it is economical in man power since the personnel of a battery might be reduced to approximately one half, when compared with one relying on horse draught." Lt-Colonel Philip Johnson of the Royal Tank Corps had been involved in tank development since 1918. Early designs after the war included the Vickers Medium Tank D, an amphibious tank capable of 25 mph. Another of Johnson's designs was a 'Light Infantry Tank', similar to the Medium Tank D. Johnson visited India in 1922 to see for himself the sort of requirements needed for a tank for the North-West Frontier. The trip resulted in a 7-ton 'Tropical Tank', together with a supply (ie 'load-carrying') variant. The engine, an Armstrong Siddeley air-cooled petrol V-8 of 90 hp (67 kW) was installed at the front on the left, with radiator intakes/louvres in the front panel (which were reproduced in the Mark I Dragon). Unusually it had rear wheel drive, like the Medium Mark A Whippet and Vickers Medium Mark I and Vickers Medium Mark II. The 9th (IX) Brigade RFA took delivery of the supply variant in August 1922: subsequently two more prototypes were built, named the Vickers Dragon Nos. 1 & 2 Artillery Tractor (experimental). Whereas the Light Infantry and Tropical Tanks used a novel wire rope suspension, the prototype Dragons had conventional coil suspension based on the Vickers Medium Mark I, with 11 small road wheels and 6 return rollers. This system was carried into production. Vickers began a limited production run in 1923, with the delivery of 18 Dragons Mark I, initially towing the Army's main field piece, the QF 18-pounder gun. During 1923-4 the first two field artillery brigades were completely mechanized. At the same time the Royal Tank Corps, which had been placed on a permanent footing in September 1923, acquired its first Vickers Medium Tanks. The Medium Dragon was produced in four main versions, Marks I-IV. 11 road wheels, six return rollers, side skirt running the length of the tracks like Johnson's 'Tropical Supply Tank'. The nine crew members sat on three rather exposed forward-facing benches, plus a commander and driver in front. Two were converted by the Royal Ordnance Factory Woolwich for use by the RAF Armoured Car Company when the RAF took over responsibility and control of Mandatory Palestine, Trans-Jordan protectorate and parts of Iraq from 1922. The crew benches were removed, and an armoured body fitted with the turret from a Rolls-Royce armoured car. One was further transformed into a boxy armoured personnel carrier with rifle ports in the sides. Experiments were also made with the Mark I Dragon to use it as a Bridge carrier, with a footbridge. The two detachable steel beams which were carried on the side skirts of the Mark I may have been connected with this. By 1926 a Vickers Medium tank had also been adapted to be a bridgelayer, but with only a 16-foot light girder bridge, it was found to be of no practical use. Distinguishing features include 11 road wheels (4 linked twin bogies, two separate wheels at the front, one at the rear), and five return rollers. The side skirt /mud chutes with 7 square holes, two vertical bars linking the side skirt to the main body. Headlights on stalks. Prominent upwards-facing triangular air intake in the centre of the front plate. There was accommodation for eight men sitting sideways inside, plus two on rounded leather? seats at the rear aft of the ammunition boxes, plus a commander & driver at the front. A Pathé newsreel shows King George V at Aldershot in c1923 watching Army exercises, including his inspection of a Medium Dragon Mk II. The Medium Dragon Mark II* had some minor changes, including re-designed ammunition boxes. The Mark III appeared in around 1929. The tracks had 11 road wheels (5 pairs flat on the ground and 1 single at the front), and six return rollers. The solid side skirt/mud chutes had four oblong holes. Five vertical bars linked the body to the side skirt. The headlights gained modern-looking faired housings. The air intake appears to be situated on the rh sloping front plate. Squared-off seats aft of the ammunition boxes at the rear of the body. The Mark IIIB had modified mud chutes/sideskirts with three large oval holes and two smaller vertical oval ones at each end. The Mark IIIC had extra armouring apparently protecting the left-hand side crew. The headlight enclosures were squared-off, and the triangular engine cooling intake was turned downwards-facing on rh side front plate. A 1942 US manual on the British Army shows a Medium Dragon Mark IIIC towing a BL 6-inch 26 cwt howitzer. The Mark IV of c1932 was essentially a complete re-design, incorporating the running gear from the Vickers 6-ton Light Tank Mk II (or Mark E?): eight road wheels in two sets of paired bogies, quarter elliptical leaf spring suspension, and four return rollers. The side skirts on previous models were removed, leaving the running gear exposed. There was a distinctive shape to the tracks with the top run angled upwards towards the front. Only twelve were sold to British Army in 1935, which adopted the official name of Dragon, Medium, Mark IV: some of these went to France with the BEF at the start of WW2.. The UK versions were fitted with an AEC 6-cylinder inline water-cooled diesel engine as fitted to London buses (eg the AEC Q-type). Export versions were powered by an Armstrong-Siddeley Puma petrol 4-cylinder engine developing 91.5 bhp. In 1935 the Army decided to concentrate on using wheeled vehicles for towing all the army's artillery (such as the Morris CDSW and later the Quad, and the AEC Matador), and the procurement of tracked artillery tractors was dropped. Nevertheless, Mark IIIC Medium Dragons were still being used in 1942. A cargo version of the Medium Dragon Mark IV was also produced. Vickers exported considerably more Mark IVs (and 6-ton tanks) to foreign armies. In 1932 one vehicle was sold to the German company Siemens-Schuckert; in 1933 Finland bought 20, and the same year 26 Mark IVs in an anti-aircraft version were sold to the Siamese (Thai) Army, armed with a QF 2-pounder naval gun ( 'pom-pom'). 23 were sold to China in 1935 and India bought 18 tractors in 1937. According to David Fletcher, the running gear used in the Mark IV Dragon was the basis of the Matilda I tank. During trials of early Matildas in 1936 the track pins failed constantly, and the rubber-tyred road rollers (which were subject to considerable wear) were replaced with steel ones: but these faults weren't cured until 1937 (when production of Mark IV Dragons ceased).

Maria Millington Lathbury Maria Millington Lathbury (1856 - 1944) was a classical scholar, archaeologist and numismatist. Lathbury was born in 1856, the daughter of Charles Crawford Lathbury of Wimbledon. In 1886, aged 30, she began to study "Literae humaniores" at the University of Oxford; her college was Somerville. Her interest in the classical world had been stimulated by Jane Harrison's "Extension Lectures in the Suburbs". At Oxford she was taught by Percy Gardner. Later she also travelled to Greece as a companion for a 'younger woman' in 1892. There some of the research for her subsequent book took place. She also joined one of Dörpfeld's tours of the Greek islands. In 1892 she also wrote a note in "The Academy" on the lighting within Greek temples. Also in 1892, Lathbury married the archaeologist Sir John Evans. They had met at a lecture that Lathbury attended on "The Dates of some Greek Temples as derived from their orientation". They met again the following week at a diner party and five months later were married. For a wedding gift, Evans gave Lathbury a Roman cameo, in a gold mount by Alessandro Castellani. They toured archaeological sites in Britain and France for their honeymoon, travelling with their mutual friend Nina Layard. On 22 June 1893, their daughter Joan Evans was born at Nash Mills, Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire. In 1906 the family moved to Britwell, Berkhamsted. In 1908 her husband died; in his obituary Lathbury was described as a "classical scholar and keen antiquary". She died in 1944. After completing the examinations in the late 1880s, Lathbury was appointed as an Extension Lecturer for the university. She was also a 'lady lecturer' at the British Museum, focusing on Greek dress. In fact, along with Ethel Abrahams, Lathbury was one of the first female scholars of Greek Dress. Both scholars wanted their work to be accessible so that members of the public could recreate Greek styles of dress for themselves. In 1891 she was interviewed in the "Pall Mall Gazette" with Jane Harrison, where they discussed the Greek world, archaeology and the character of female audiences for archaeological talks. In 1892 she designed the costume for a production of Aristophanes' "The Frogs." In the following year her book, "Chapters on Greek Dress", published and dedicated to OUDS ‘in remembrance of their performance of the Frogs of Aristophanes'. In 1900 "The Englishwoman's Yearbook & Directory" listed her as a woman "active in archaeology". Lathbury buried a time capsule on 20 July 1898, with a halfpenny and a handwritten note inside, to commemorate the construction of St Albans Museum, which her husband helped to found. A new capsule was re-buried on the same spot in 2018.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63592989
2020 Ditrău xenophobic incident The 2020 Ditrău xenophobic incident refers to the incident that started in 26 January 2020 in the village of Ditrău (), Harghita County, in Romania, in which around 1,800 ethnically Hungarian locals protested the employment of two, later three Sri Lankan workers by the bakery Ditrói Pékség. The locals, led by the chaplain of the village, protested that the bakery's working conditions dissatisfied them and, as well as feared that the immigrants could "impose their culture" and "threaten the Hungarian local ethnic identity". On 11 February, a petition signed by 1,800 people was sent to the town hall of the village with several requests, among them, the improvement of these working conditions, the end of immigration to the village and compensations and apologies to the population. The incident affected the popularity and income of the company, with workers and owners being repeatedly threatened by locals. The two Sri Lankans were forced to move in Gheorgheni. Furthermore, the incident received great media coverage. Other previous cases that happened in other cities began to receive more attention, and conflicts between the country's Romanian ethnic majority and the Hungarian minority sparked. Sociologists and journalists have said that this is an opportunity to start debating the existing discrimination against foreigners and the overexploitation of many workers in Romania. In the end, the owner of the company Köllő Katalin met with the chaplain to discuss the situation. On 3 March, Kelemen Hunor, president of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), announced that the situation had finally normalized. Due to the large number of Romanian citizens (regardless of ethnicity) who have emigrated from Romania, several companies have been left without sufficient human resources, which has led them to attract immigrants. However, a 2019 study by the Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy (IRES) showed that 68% of the Romanians surveyed were highly suspicious of immigrants and 50% would stop them at the border. The inhabitants of Ditrău, composed of Catholic Székelys (Hungarians), are, according to the journalist Keno Verseck, "extremely traditionalist and conservative". Ioan-Aurel Pop, president of the Romanian Academy, has declared that the community of Ditrău is a closed one, coming "from an older world". According to the sociologist Dumitru Sandu, this closure is cultural, being determined by ethnic and religious factors. Locals mainly watch, read and listen to Hungarian media close to the country's government, causing the transmission of liberalist doctrinal elements to them. Due to this affiliation with Hungarian politics, Romania matters little to the inhabitants of Ditrău. Furthermore, in 1986, this community had a conflict with the Romani minority of the village, which increased fear and hostility towards foreigners. On the other hand, according to the newspaper "Átlátszó Erdély", in Székely Land, many companies pay their employees with salaries that they consider "indecent", which contributes to the emigration of qualified human resources. Furthermore, according to the journalist Sipos Zoltán, work in the region usually includes overwork, lack of rest days and some of the hours worked are not paid. Thus, a large number of the local population currently works abroad. Journalist and sociologist Ruxandra Hurezean said there were indications that several Hungarian local leaders were rejecting investment in counties like Harghita (where Ditrău is located), as it could boost immigration to the region and affect its ethnic composition. A study has shown that of all Transylvania, Harghita and Covasna (both with a large Hungarian population) are the counties with the least amount of foreign capital entered. Csata Zsombor, another sociologist, has indicated that, according to a study on the economy based in ethnicity in Transylvania, a non-Hungarian employee who works in a Hungarian-speaking environment earns 50 to 450 lei less than an employee who does the same position but in a company where he is the only Hungarian. He says that the degree of Hungarian ethnic homogeneity at work is related to disadvantage in the salary. There is an average difference of 300 lei if someone does not have many Romanian colleagues compared to someone who has a similar position but in a completely Romanian environment. Ditrói Pékség, in Ditrău, is a bakery built with funds from the European Community in need of additional human resources at the time. Then, of the over 90 employees, only 18 were locals from Ditrău. Since the bakery's employers were unable to find new workers in the Harghita County or nearby counties, they decided to hire workers from abroad. Therefore, the bakery legally hired a baker from Hungary in 2019 and in January 2020, two bakers from Sri Lanka. One of them is Welgamage Don Prasanna Piumal, a 22-year-old Catholic, and the other is Amarashinga Archchilag Mahinda, a 48-year-old Buddhist. Both are of Sinhalese ethnicity. Further, the company announced its intention to hire another Sri Lankan and four persons from Nepal. Almost two weeks after the engagement of the two Sri Lankan bakers by the company in question, their presence led to a riot of a part of the community in Ditrău, which saw them as a threat to the village. The atmosphere of intolerance soon turned to exclusion and xenophobia. According to parishioners of the village, on 26 January, a Roman Catholic chaplain warned of the danger associated with the arrival of "strangers". The chaplain appealed to the population to ask the mayor of the commune of Ditrău to resolve the created situation. On 27 January, a Facebook group with the name ("We want a Ditrău without migrants") was created. For two days, in the discussions carried out on the platform, nationalist and racist threats were targeted to the Sri Lankan employees and the bakery owners. After becoming the spokesperson of the protesters, the chaplain organized a demonstration on 29 January in front of the town hall with around 200 locals. Among their reasons, they said that they were afraid of the emergence of "a wave of migrants", which would impose their culture and endanger the safety of the locals. After being threatened, the Sri Lankans moved to a house in Lăzarea, a neighboring village. The owner of the house there was also threatened, so both workers started looking for a house in Gheorgheni. The same day, the inhabitants of Ditrău announced their intention to protest during a town council meeting. The 200 locals continued protesting in the courtyard of a church, where the chaplain organized a meeting on the fate of the Székelys and the injustices suffered by them. After that, he led the group to the building in which the town council meeting was held, but due to limited space and the busy schedule of those who attended the meeting, the protest was postponed to 1 February. Afterwards, the protesters went back to the church. The first to react was the mayor of the commune, who involved in mediating the situation and urged people to calm, and the employers of the company. The directors of the company, ignoring the locals, stated that they would continue to work with Sri Lankans. The company's other workers, including some who had worked abroad, supported them as well. However, locals did not relent, beginning to boycott the company's revenue under the argument that "bread is made by foreigners". In fact, the sales of the bakery dropped by 30%. Furthermore, hundreds of racist and hate comments continued to be posted on Facebook. On 1 February, approximately 300 people gathered at a meeting in the Cultural House in Ditrău. The bakery owners did not participate although they were asked to attend insistently. They, however, sent a letter to the inhabitants in which they, among other things, apologized for not warning them of the arrival of foreigners. During the discussion, it was revealed that there had previously been a deep conflict between the company owners and the locals, and that this incident had only aggravated the situation between them. Protestants expressed dissatisfaction with the employers' attitude towards some of the workers who had been there at the company and the salary they had received. The financial newspaper "Ziarul Financiar" stated that, based on the public data of the company, the 90 workers received the minimum wage allowed by Romanian economy. During the meeting, locals insisted that they did not want immigrants in the village, nor did want the two Sri Lankans to touch the bread. Fearing that the incident could escalate, employers of the bakery reported that, although both workers will be kept, they will be transferred to another stage of the production process. In addition, they also informed locals that if enough workers could be hired from nearby areas in the next half-year, the bakery would stop looking for people abroad. Locals did not clarify whether or not they accepted the company's responses, but agreed to send a petition to the directors with all their wishes on 3 February. On the day of the meeting, the workers moved to Gheorgheni. Ștefan Mandachi, an economist, offered them job in Suceava to relocate, this one being followed by more offers. On 2 February, after the National Council for Combating Discrimination ordered to be notified in case of relocation of the two Sri Lankans to another stage of the production, the company directors announced that the workers will retain their initial workplace. Furthermore, they also announced that some of the other workers of the bakery were being threatened for collaborating with the foreigners. In a press release, the employers described several of the threats the locals were sending to the immigrants, including the slogan published in the Facebook group "Să dăm foc ca în annul ’90" ("Let's set fire like in the 90s", referring to the ethnic clashes of Târgu Mureș), stating that they intended to set the bakery on fire. Also, one of the bakery's businessperson announced that due to the incident of the past days, another bakery that was planned to be built in Ditrău with funds of the European Union will be built elsewhere. On 3 February, the municipal police of Gheorgheni registered a complaint by the company for the events in the village. Throughout the whole incident, the Sri Lankan embassy, concerned about the safety of two workers, contacted them. On 4 February, the bakery was fined with 10,000 lei, and the employers were warned for committing four not serious irregularities. The day after a third Sri Lankan worker arrived in Romania in 10 February to work in the bakery, several residents and the chaplain presented the petition agreed at the meeting of 1 February signed by more than 1,800 persons from the village to the town hall. The petition was directed to the town hall, the town council and the bakery. On it, the locals asked the bakery employers to not employ more immigrants as the unemployment rate "surpassed the 2% of the population" and "the emigration of young people had to be stopped". In addition, the documents regarding the professional qualification of the first two Sri Lankans along with their personal documents and medical certificates were requested. Apologies were sought by the locals and the chaplain for "damage to their reputation", as well as financial compensation to harmed and offended workers for 5 years. Other conditions also include the payment of holidays. On 21 February, the owner of the company Köllő Katalin announced that it had hired another four workers from Nepal, who would arrive in about a month. In addition, she said the petition had not yet been officially received by the company. On 26 February, the bakery owner met with the chaplain to discuss the incident and the dissatisfaction expressed by the locals. Declaratively, after reaching a consensus, the company expected the workers to continue working, and the local priest Bíró Károly urged the population of Ditrău to work at the bakery. The mayor of the village, Puskás Elemér, said that the situation "is about to normalize". In addition, it was stated that another company in Ditrău was filling an application to bring between 5 and 10 foreign workers to the village. On 3 March, the president of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) Kelemen Hunor declared that things had finally calmed down. The media coverage of what happened in Ditrău highlighted the fact that what happened in the locality was not an isolated case in Romania. Therefore, a partner of the company Soter&Partners which, among other things, brings foreigner workers to the country, mentioned several similar cases. Among them is one from Cluj-Napoca, in which several persons protested the presence of Sri Lankan workers in a restaurant and sent a petition to the town hall. Other cases occurred in Râmnicu Vâlcea and in Bucharest. Until February 2020, however, there was no data specifying in how many localities in Romania similar phenomena happened. The incident attracted great attention from the ethnic Romanian public who began to discuss the "export of ideologies" given by the government of Viktor Orbán. There were also Romanians who used the incident to carry out nationalist attacks on the country's Hungarian minority. As for Hungarians, the events showed that even though some Hungarians adopted "strategies" to "demonstrate superiority" and "preserve the Hungarian ethnic identity", the minority is in a vulnerable position with respect to Romania, evidenced by the presentation of the events in Ditrău as a case of racism of the Hungarian community by a large part of Romanian media. Due to the lack of a dominant position, many Hungarians have leaned to a far-right ideology, which according to the journalists Tamás Kiss and Tibor Toró, hinders the possibility of Romanian Hungarians to make a credible and honest speech on their minority rights. According to the journalist Răzvan Bibire, the incident also presents an opportunity to start discussing at a national level the overexploitation suffered by many employees and the difficulties they have in defending their labor rights. It is unknown how possible future cases of this type will be treated. There is a possibility that media may try to strengthen interethnic borders or attempt to subordinate political objectives. It is also possible that the incident will trigger an open debate on the problems of Romanian society, such as power relations, marginalization and xenophobia.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593017

Peugeot Type 135 The Type 135 was an early automobile manufactured by the French company Automobiles Peugeot between 1911 and 1913 during which time 376 examples were built. It would be the last large Peugeot until the 1920 Type 156 due to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Its contemporary competitors in the French large car market included the Renault CE and Vauxhall A12. The Type 135 reportedly utilized an updated version of the then-common Peugeot inline-four engine for a displacement of 5 liters, producing a maximum of 22 horsepower, though in most other ways was very similar to its predecessor, the Type 134. It was noted also to have a drag coefficient of 0.75. The most common body style of the Type 135 was a cabriolet variant known as the Torpèdo, featuring a removable roof. This was a variant of the primary model that featured improved handling and additional luxury materials used in the car's construction, making it more of a luxury car than a practical sedan.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593201
Biological roles of the elements A large fraction of the chemical elements that occur naturally on the earth's surface are essential to the structure and metabolism of living things. Four of these elements (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) are essential to every living thing and collectively make up 99% of the mass of protoplasm. Phosphorus and sulfur are also common essential elements, essential to the structure of nucleic acids and amino acids, respectively. Chlorine, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus have important roles due to their ready ionization and utility in regulating membrane activity and osmotic potential. The remaining elements found in living things are primarily metals that play a role in determining protein structure. Examples include iron, essential to hemoglobin; and magnesium, essential to chlorophyll. Some elements are essential only to certain taxonomic groups of organisms, particularly the prokaryotes. For instance, the lanthanide series rare earths are essential for methanogens. As shown in the following table, there is strong evidence that 19 of the elements are essential to all living things, and another 17 are essential to some taxonomic groups. Of these 17, most have not been extensively studied, and their biological importance may be greater than currently supposed. The remaining elements are not known to be essential. There appear to be several causes of this. Aluminum warrants special mention because it is the most abundant metal and the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust; despite this, it is not essential for life. With this sole exception, the eight most highly abundant elements in the earth's crust, making up over 90% of the crustal mass, are also essential for life. The following list identifies in rank order the possible biological roles of the chemical elements, ranging from a score of 5 for elements essential to all living things, to a score of 1 for elements that have no known effects on living things. There are also letter scores for special functions of the elements. These rank scores are used to characterize each element in the following table. The following table identifies the 94 chemical elements that occur naturally on the earth's surface, their atomic numbers, their biological rank as defined above, and their general beneficial and harmful roles in living things.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593342

San Francisco public grammar schools In 1879, San Francisco had 15 grammar schools, three exclusively for girls (Denman, Rincon, and Broadway), three exclusively for boys (Lincoln, Washington, and Union), and nine co-educational (Spring Valley, Hayes Valley, North and South Cosmopolitan, Valencia Street, Eighth Street, Mission, Jefferson, and Clement). In addition, co-ed Potrero School served both primary and grammar pupils. Students expected to attend grammar school for seven or eight years. Several grammar schools survive to this day, including James Denman Middle School, Lowell High School (formerly Union Grammar School), and Spring Valley Science Elementary School. Washington Grammar School is believed to have been destroyed in a fire in February 1930. Three more grammar schools, Crocker, Hamilton, and Horace Mann, were created in 1913. These were the final grammar schools opened in San Francisco as the later pupils of grammar school age would attend junior highs (first opened in 1922) and middle schools (opened in 1978). = Academic awards = Four of the schools (Denman, Lincoln, Broadway) awarded medals to their top graduates. In addition, male pupils competed for the Bridge Medal, established by Samuel J. Bridge who resided in San Francisco before returning to his native Dresden, Maine. = Segregation = The Chinese Elementary School was created in response to a court ruling in 1885 that Chinese students must be educated. This ruling would have allowed Mamie Tape to attend Spring Valley Grammar School if the Chinese Elementary School had not been created to prevent her doing so. = Statistics = In 1870, a typical grammar school building for 1,000 pupils cost $30,000 to build. In 1875, 6,055 students were enrolled in San Francisco's grammar schools, taught by 129 teachers (102 of which were female). The first female principal of a San Francisco grammar school was Kate Kennedy, who was appointed in 1856. = References =	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593499

The Nixons (album) The Nixons is the third full-length album by the American alternative rock band of the same name. It was released on June 24, 1997 by MCA Records. Deren Svendsen of AllMusic gave the album two stars. He states "In 1996, the Nixons appeared to be on the verge of becoming one of the next big post-grunge bands, due in large part to the hit single "Sister," an acoustic ballad that wore the band's Pearl Jam influences on its sleeve. They returned in the summer of 1997 with this self-titled album, yet anyone expecting an album further mining the sound of "Sister" is bound to be disappointed. Rather than capitalizing on their success, the Nixons have instead crafted a set of hard, grungier songs." He praised the track "Sad, Sad Me", but concludes by writing "Unfortunately, other than that one winner, this is strictly paint-by-number mid-'90s rock, with little to recommend to anyone except the most die-hard fan."	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593848
Tranvía Metropolitano de Alcalá de Guadaíra The Tranvía Metropolitano de Alcalá de Guadaíra () is a light rail line currently under construction in the Spanish town of Alcalá de Guadaíra. Construction on the line began in 2007, but was suspended in 2012 due to the 2008–2014 Spanish financial crisis. Works resumed in 2015, with the line expected to open in 2022 or 2023. The line's western terminus is at the existing Pablo de Olavide station of the Seville Metro, using part of a former railway alignment eastward to serve the town centre of Alcalá de Guadaíra with a total of twelve stops. Five million passengers a year are expected to use the tram once completed. Originally due to serve as a stand-alone tram line, plans were changed to allow through-running from Pablo de Olavide to Seville city centre using Seville Metro line 1's infrastructure.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593918
Eva Knatchbull-Hugesson The Hon. Eva Mary Knatchbull-Hugessen (1861–1895) was an English children's writer, diarist and social activist. Eva Knatchbull-Hugessen was the second daughter of the politician and writer Edward Knatchbull-Hugessen, 1st Baron Brabourne and his first wife Anna Maria Elizabeth Southwell. Her younger brothers Edward and Cecil later succeeded as Baron Brabourne. Eva's diaries, written between 1873 and 1893, survive and are held at Kent History and Library Centre. Read alongside her father's diaries, they allow a reconstruction of affective dynamics in an upper-class Victorian family, and show her reaction to different aspects of her father's masculinity. She was an early student at Newnham College, Cambridge, studying there from 1883 to 1886 and taking Part I of the Classical Tripos. She became a committee member of the Newnham College Club, and an active participant in student magazine culture. She later wrote about Newnham College for "The Nineteenth Century", and contributed children's stories to "Friendly Leaves", "Little Wide Awake", "The Monthly Packet" and "Goodwill". Eva Knatchbull-Hugessen was active in the Women's University Settlement in Southwark, helping to organize an annual loan exhibition of pictures at the recently founded Borough Polytechnic. According to her obituarist in "The Times", "the hard work involved in these activities proved too much for Miss Hugesson's delicate health". She died at Lucerne on 23 October 1895.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593936
Helena, Countess of Kintore Helena Keith-Falconer, Countess of Kintore (née Helena Zimmerman, formerly Helena Montagu, Duchess of Manchester) (25 September 1878 – 15 December 1971) was an American heiress who twice married into the British aristocracy. First as the Duchess of Manchester and secondly as the Countess of Kintore. Helena was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on 25 September 1878. She was the only child of Eugene Zimmerman and Marietta (née Evans) Zimmerman, who died of peritonitis in 1882 when Helena was just four years old. Her father had been born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where his father owned a factory. During the Civil War, his factory burned down and he enlisted in the Union Navy, serving with distinction. After the war, her Eugene went into the oil business, acquiring extensive holdings which he sold to John D. Rockefeller in exchange for shares in Standard Oil where he became a substantial stockholder and gained seat on the company's board. He used his income to invest in railroads, becoming president of several lines, including the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway and the Ann Arbor Railroad, and incredibly wealthy. Her father sent her to France, where she lived for many years, was educated and became accomplished in horsemanship and fencing. While attending a costume ball at a Brittany coast resort in Dinard, France, the twenty-one year old Helena met William Angus Drogo Montagu, 9th Duke of Manchester, who was then twenty-three. He was the only son of the late 8th Duke of Manchester and his wife, the Cuban American heiress Consuelo Yznaga. On 14 November 1900, they married at Marylebone Church in London without her father or his mother present. Reportedly, the Duke's mother did not believe reports of the marriage and "envinced extreme displeasure at the idea of her son marrying Miss Zimmerman." In 1903, her father bought them Kylemore Castle in Connemara, Ireland. In addition, the Manchester's owned a house in London, a country estate known as Kimbolton Castle and Tandragee Castle in Northern Ireland. In 1906, he was a Privy Councillor and from 1906 to 1907, he was a Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. From their marriage, she was the mother of four, including: The Duke's family, long prominent in British society and politics had little wealth left despite a $1,000,000 trust left for him by his mother (which she inherited from her brother, the banker Fernando Yznaga). This was compounded by the Duke's profligate gambling and spending on other women. In 1920, because of the Duke's gambling debts, they were forced to sell Kylemore Castle to Benedictine nuns who established a monastery on the grounds. Helena's father gave her a fixed allowance, and was careful to set up his will so the Duke received nothing. Her father died in Cincinnati in December 1914 leaving an estate valued at $10,000,000 in trust. By 1918, sixty-six petitions of bankruptcy had been filed against the Duke in the English courts. After rumors in 1908, and separation proceedings in 1915, 1921, and 1925 (when it was announced an estrangement had existed since 1914), they were eventually divorced in December 1931 after the Duke absconded to Cuba in November to apply for a divorce there. Her remarried almost immediately to another American, the former actress Kathleen Dawes of Connecticut. The Duke died in Seaford, Sussex in February 1947. On 23 November 1937, The Duchess of Manchester remarried to Arthur Keith-Falconer, 10th Earl of Kintore. Lord Kintore, the second son of Algernon Keith-Falconer, 9th Earl of Kintore (the Governor of South Australia in the 1890s) and the former Lady Sydney Montagu (second daughter of George Montagu, 6th Duke of Manchester), fought in the Boer War between 1900 and 1902 with the Cameron Highlanders with the Scots Guard during World War I. Lord Kintore died in London on 26 May 1966. As they had no children together, her husband's older sister, Lady Ethel Sydney Keith-Falconer (the wife of John Baird, 1st Viscount Stonehaven) became the "suo jure" 11th Countess of Kintore. The Dowager Countess of Kintore died at Keith Hall in Inverurie on 15 December 1971 and was buried alongside her second husband at the Keith Hall Burial Ground in Inverurie. Through her eldest son, she was a grandmother of Sidney Montagu, 11th Duke of Manchester (1929–1985), who married twice but died without issue, and Angus Montagu, 12th Duke of Manchester (1938–2002), who married four times and had three children. Through her second son, she was a grandmother of Roderick Edward Drogo Montagu.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63593954

HMS Spenser (1917) HMS "Spenser" was a Thornycroft type flotilla leader of the British Royal Navy. She was built by J I Thornycroft from 1916 to 1917 as the lead ship of her class, launching in September 1917 and completing in December that year. "Spenser" served in the Harwich Force during the rest of the First World War and in the Baltic during the British intervention in the Russian Civil War in 1919. After service at home and in the Mediterranean, she went into reserve in 1925 and was sold for scrap in 1936. The Thornycroft type or "Shakespeare"-class leaders, were like the similar and contemporary Admiralty type (also known as the "Scott" class) were designed to meet a requirement from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, commander of the Grand Fleet, for a large, fast and heavily armed flotilla leader to match and outclass rumoured large German destroyers. The ships had a length of overall, at the waterline and between perpendiculars, with a beam of and a draught of . Design displacement was normal and full load. The ship's machinery consisted of four Yarrow boilers that fed steam at to two sets of Brown-Curtis single-reduction geared-steam turbines, rated at . This gave a design speed of light, which corresponded to about at full load. During sea trials, "Spenser" recorded a speed of . Up to 500 tons of oil fuel could be carried, giving a range of at . The class had a main gun armament consisted of five 4.7 in (120 mm)/45 calibre BL Mark I guns, on CP VI mountings capable of elevating to 30 degrees, arranged in two superfiring pairs fore and aft of the superstructure with the remaining gun positioned on a platform between the funnels. "Shakespeare"s anti-aircraft armament consisted of a single gun on a platform abaft the rear funnel. Torpedo armament consisted of two triple mounts for 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes between the 3-inch AA gun and the rear pair of 4.7-inch guns. Four depth charges were carried. The first two examples of Thornycroft's new large leader, and "Spenser", were ordered in April 1916. A third was ordered in April 1917 and four more in April 1918. "Spenser", named for the poet Edmund Spenser, author of "The Faerie Queene", was laid down on 9 October 1917, was launched on 22 September 1917 and commissioned on 12 December that year. "Spenser" joined the 10th Destroyer Flotilla of the Harwich Force on 15 December 1917 as the second in command of four leaders. On 26 January 1918, "Spenser" collided with a sailing ship, rescuing eight of the sailing ship's crew. On 27 February 1918, "Spenser" was attacked by a German Zeppelin in the southern part of the North Sea. On 1 August 1918, the Harwich Force took part in an operation against German minesweeping forces. The force would tow six Coastal Motor Boats (CMBs) to the edge of the mined areas in the inner German Bight. From there, the CMBs would proceed over the minefields and search for German minesweepers, which they were to attack with torpedoes. The operation was aborted when they were sighted by a Zeppelin, which dropped bombs that near missed several ships, with "Spenser" being one of the ships attacked. The operation was repeated on 10–11 August, with "Spenser" again part of the escort. Air cover was to be provided by flying boats carried on lighters towed behind three of the destroyers, while two more destroyers towed lighters carrying Sopwith Camel fighter aircraft, for use against German Zeppelin airships. When the force reached the minefields, the lack of wind meant that the flying boats could not take off, so the CMBs continued on unescorted, and were subject to sustained attacks by German aircraft, which resulted in three of the CMBs being sunk and the other three being interned in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the Harwich Force, waiting for the CMBs to return, encountered the German airship "L53", and a Camel took off from a lighter towed behind the destroyer and shot down "L53". On 15 August 1918, "Spenser" picked up survivors from the leader and , which had been torpedoed by a German submarine off the Dutch coast. "Spencer" remained a member of the 10th Flotilla at the end of the war on 11 November 1918. On 21 November and 1 December 1918, "Spenser" escorted German U-Boats to Harwich so they could surrender. The Royal Navy's destroyer forces were reorganised after the end of the war, with "Spenser" becoming one of two leaders of the newly established 2nd Destroyer Flotilla, based at Rosyth, and serving as flagship for the Flotilla's Captain (D), in March 1919. In August 1919, the 2nd Destroyer Flotilla, led by "Spenser", was deployed to the Baltic Sea as part of the British operations in the Baltic during the Russian Civil War, relieving the 1st Destroyer Flotilla. On the night of 17/18 August, the 2nd Flotilla, including "Spenser" escorted seven CMBs ona raid on the Red Fleet anchorage at Kronstadt. The CMBs sank the submarine depot ship and damaged the battleship at the cost of three CMBs sunk. Regular duties of the 2nd Flotilla and "Spenser" included patrols and shore bombardment against Bolshevik forces. On 27 October, "Spenser" together with the monitor , the cruisers and , the leaders and and four destroyers took part in a bombardment of the Bolshevik-held Krasnaya Gorka fort, in support of an Estonian offensive against Petrograd, as the fort was a key part of the defences for the cite. Despite the support from the Royal Navy, the Bolsheviks kept control of the fort and the Estonian offensive was stopped. This deployment ended in November 1919, with the flotilla returning to British waters. "Spenser" was again deployed to the Baltic in June 1920 and in September–October 1921, but by this time hostilities between Britain and the Bolshevik forces had ended. "Spenser" took part in a Fleet Review at Spithead of the Atlantic Fleet by Dominion leaders on 3 November 1923, and in the Fleet Review by King George V on 26 July 1924. In September 1924, "Spenser" joined the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla of the Mediterranean Fleet, where she served until May 1925. "Spenser" entered reserve at Portsmouth on 6 June 1925. In 1927–1928, as an economy measure, reserve destroyers were transferred to a centralised Maintenance Reserve, with most reserve destroyers having no crews assigned and only undergoing essential repair work. In fact, however, the resources (both manpower and financial) allocated to the uptake of reserve destroyers was inadequate, and their condition deteriorated, so that most of them never returned to active service. "Spenser" moved from Portsmouth to Chatham in September 1927, remaining in reserve, and from Chatham to Rosyth in April 1933. On 19 August 1936 "Spenser" was one of a number of old warships transferred to the shipbreaker Thos W Ward in exchange for the old ocean liner , which the Royal Navy wanted as a training ship. "Spenser" left Rosyth on 30 September that year for scrapping at Inverkeithing.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63594107
Boeing Orbital Flight Test 2 The Boeing Orbital Flight Test 2 (also known as Boe-OFT 2) is a planned repeat of the Boeing's first Orbital Flight Test that was plagued with software problems. The mission will test the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, built by Boeing as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The mission is planned to last eight days, involving a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station (ISS), followed by landing in the western United States. This is the first planned docking of Starliner after the December 2019 flight failed to rendezvous with the station due to an anomaly with the spacecraft's mission elapsed time (MET) clock. The mission is planned to use the hardware, Starliner, and Atlas V that was planned for the crewed flight test. On 6 April 2020, Boeing announced that they would redo the Orbital Flight Test to prove and meet all of the test objectives. A four-month investigation of the first Orbital Flight Test resulted in Boeing proposing another uncrewed flight test of the spacecraft's systems. NASA accepted the proposal from Boeing to do another uncrewed test flight at no cost to the American taxpayers. The cost for the second flight is an estimated $410 million. The Starliner is scheduled for launch no earlier than 13 November 2020. The second Atlas V N22, designated AV-082, will launch the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on its second uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station. The capsule is intended to dock with the space station, then return to Earth to land in the Western United States after an orbital shakedown cruise ahead of Boeing Crewed Flight Test. OFT 2 is the second flight of an Atlas V without a payload fairing and with a dual-engine Centaur upper stage. The dual-engine Centaur utilizes two RL10s and is required for Starliner flights in order to provide a launch trajectory that allows for a safe abort at any point in the mission.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63594197
Stephanie Scuris Stephanie Scuris (born 1931) is an American artist and arts educator, known for her large-scale Constructivist sculptures. She taught at the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art located in Baltimore, MD. Stephanie Scuris was born in Lacedaemonos, Greece. She moved to the United States in 1947 (at age 16), just two years following the end of WWII. She studied under Josef Albers at Yale University, receiving both a BFA and a MFA from the School of Art and Architecture in the late 1950s. Scuris was one of the select group of students Albers introduced to Madeleine and Arthur Lejwa at the Galerie Chalette. While still a student at Yale, she exhibited at their "Structured Sculptures" show of winter, 1960. She exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, MOMA, The Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Yale Art School, worked on major commissions for the Bankers Trust Company and the Salk Laboratories in the 1960s. She was recruited, along with Norman Carlberg, by noted educator and artist Eugene Leake (both alumni of the Yale/Albers MFA program), to revive the sculpture program at the Rinehart School at the Maryland Institute of Art. That revival was, by Ms. Scuris's own account, "all about Bauhaus,” an educational approach that centered on knowledge of the physical manipulation of materials rather than strict figurative representation. In her long career, Scuris has been represented by various galleries, including Galerie Chalette of New York, C. Grimaldis Gallery of Maryland (where she was one of two artists in its inaugural exhibition of 1977), and the Francis Frost Gallery of Rhode Island. Winterwitz Award, prize for outstanding work & alumni award, Yale Univ.; Peabody Award, 1961–62; Rinehart fellowship, 1961-64.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63594340

Juan López Mella Juan Manuel López Mella (Lugo, 12 April 1965 - Albacete, 10 May 1995) was a Spanish professional Grand Prix and Superbike motorcycle racer. Entering international competitions for the first time in 1987, he was named Spanish Superbike champion in 1991 and 1992, becoming the highest placed private rider overall in 1993. In 1995, he started riding in the Thunderbike tournament but was tragically killed in a road accident on 10 May. His city of birth has named a park that teaches road safety in his honour. Born on 12 April 1965 in Lugo in Galacia, Spain, Juan López Mella started his racing career with motocross but by the age of eighteen had moved to asphalt. After debuting nationally in the Criterium Solo Moto in 1985, he progressed to racing in the World Championships in the 250cc class in 1987. After a season riding a Yamaha, during which he scored no points, he moved to a Honda in 1988; once again he finished outside the championship rankings.

Alphabetland Alphabetland is the eighth studio album by American punk rock band X. Released digitally in April 2020, it is their first studio release in 27years and the first with their original line-up in the past 35years. X released the album with no prior announcement to coincide with the 40th anniversary of their debut album "Los Angeles" and credited songwriting to all four members for the first time in their career. The release has received positive reviews from critics. The songs on "Alphabetland" were written in the 18months leading up to release, except for "Delta 88 Nightmare" which dates back to the late 1970s (a demo track of it was previously released on the 1997 anthology "" and the 2001 reissue of "Los Angeles"), and "Cyrano De Berger's Back", which bassist John Doe wrote in the late seventies, and which was originally released by The Flesh Eaters on their 1981 album "A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die". Additionally, “I Gotta Fever” is a re-write of the 1981 song “Heater”. "Cyrano" was also recorded by X on the first post-Billy Zoom album, "See How We Are" but the band members were always unhappy with the recording and preferred this version with Zoom's saxophone. The original line-up of X had been a touring act for several years but only decided to re-enter the studio with new music after the crowdfunded album "Live in South America" proved economically viable and they got back the rights to their original albums from Warner Bros. Records. Commenting on the long break between new material, Doe explained that with a sufficient body of work, X had enough fun touring and there was little motivation for new music. The "Alphabetland" was recorded across several sessions in 2019 and 2020 with producer Rob Schnapf, who has previously worked with Elliott Smith, Beck, and Joyce Manor. Even though the beginning of the songwriting date from April 2019, when the only songwriters were vocalist Exene Cervenka and Doe, all tracks are credited to all four members of X and the recording sessions coincided with the individual musicians improving their relationships with one another as the other members added to the arrangements. Doe estimates that he and Cervenka are responsible for 70% of the composition but wanted to recognize the contributions of the other musicians and for unity, they agreed to split songwriting. The band had previously released a single recorded during these sessions—"Delta 88 Nightmare"/"Cyrano DeBerger's Back"—and a music video for the A-side but did not announce any intentions on further releases. In January 2019, the band revealed that they had entered the studio to record for the first time since 1985, but at the time did not say whether or not the recordings would be released as an album. The band finished recording by February, got together for photos and final mixing on March 12, and shipped off the album for mastering, which wrapped on April 10. X approached artist Wayne White about working on the album's art due to vocalist Exene Cervenka and bassist John Doe both being fans of his. He created the original artwork "Curdled American Dream" for the cover to represent the decay of the United States, with X representing a voice of America. The album was revealed with no prior announcement on April 22, 2020, with the approval of Fat Possum Records. X had planned on an August or September release, but the shutdown of record and CD manufacturing plants during the COVID-19 pandemic moved the band to an April release to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the release of "Los Angeles". Singer Exene Cervenka was insistent on releasing the album early, particularly if the musicians could not tour for the rest of 2020. The album was initially released on vinyl via Fat Possum and via the digital platform Bandcamp, with a more comprehensive rollout to other formats to follow later in the year. The band initially had plans to tour in August and September in support of the release; these were postponed due to the pandemic but during the lockdown, the band still intended to tour to support this album. On April 29, a music video for “Water & Wine” was released. Doe performed some live shows streamed on the Internet in May 2020. Album of the Year sums up critical consensus as a 83 out of 100 with seven reviews. The album was well-received with reviewers noting the fact that all band members received writing credit for the songs. All past releases were credited to Cervenka and Doe, leaving Bonebrake and Zoom out of song royalties. Writing for "Variety", Chris Morris called the title track a quintessential X song with "metaphorical perfection" that meets the expectations of X fans who had hoped the band would release new material since they re-formed. He summed up, "One carries away the hope that when the current crisis is over, we will all gather to sing it together in some club on the Strip, maybe the Whisky, as X returns to the stage". "American Songwriter"s Hal Horowitz gave the album 4.5 out of five stars, calling the release strategy a "refreshingly punk move", with each band member having superlative contributions to the recording, and sums up that it is "not just an impressive, even unprecedented comeback, but one that resonates with the vitality and dizzying power of X’s finest music". The "Noteworthy" column in the "Santa Monica Daily Press" had two critics recommend the album, as well as the band's live performances. Michael Mitchell of "Spill Magazine" gave the release five out of five stars, summing up, "I cannot think of a brighter spot on 2020’s crap sandwich of a year than the surprise release of this album. I cannot find a flaw. Literally." The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave the release four out of five stars, with reviewer Mark Deming finding all of the songs high quality and summing up "Alphabetland" as "a nearly miraculous example of a band returning to the studio after a long layoff and delivering at full strength". Chris O'Connell of Pitchfork Media gave the release a 7.6, calling this a "formidable comeback", with attention given to the lyrics, production, and sense of fun. Guy Oddy of "The Arts Desk" gave the release four out of five stars, calling it "no lame, end of career cash-in" and hoping for more music. In "Exclaim!", Erin MacLeod assessed "Alphabetland" at seven out of 10, calling "the pleasant melodies, harmonizing between Cervenka and Doe, bouncy beat and loud guitar are a welcome combination" and a record "that fills up a room and begs to be turned up loud" but finds the closing track to be disappointing. Dan DeLuca of "The Philadelphia Inquirer" specifically noted Bonebrake and Zoom's contributions to the music, calling their work "a rip-roaring spirit" that makes for a "vital" album. Ken Tucker of "Fresh Air" calls the album "the sound of X snatching back its past in order to fuel the music of its future" that "doesn't have a trace of nostalgia or a slackening of intensity". Korey Grow of "Rolling Stone" claimed that the album has lived up to the hype of X's reputation, calling it "a rare animal among comeback records—it both feels like a continuance of the band’s classic Eighties sound and it’s actually good". In "Newsweek", David Chu called the release a spectacular return to form and Collin Estes of the "Colorado Springs Indy" emphasized the band's punk rock roots and clever songwriting coming through on this album. In "Inlander", Dan Nailen praised the album as "a scintillating reminder of everything that made them standard-bearers of West Coast punk rock", criticizing only the closing track. Writing for "Shepherd Express", Paul McComas wrote an extensive positive review that also serves as an overview of the entire band's career and the strengths of each individual member. Doe reported that the album sold 5,000 copies on vinyl LP on the first day.

Vulkanstraße The Vulkanstraße is a street in Duisburg, Germany that is the location of the city's red-light district. There are a number of brothels in the street including Laufhaus. It is the largest red-light district in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The brothels in Vulkanstraße had a total of 432 rooms in mid-2013. According to an estimate by the Express, the operators generate a seven-digit profit per month. On October 31, 2009 there were massive clashes between the Bandidos and the Hells Angels in Vulkanstraße . The local police had to call in the Bereitschaftspolizei (riot police) for reinforcements. While the Bandidos controlled the Ruhr area, the Hells Angels claimed the Rhineland for themselves; interests overlap in Duisburg. Other competitors included the Satudarah. In 2011 there were plans to move the red-light district to Duisburg, but there was strong opposition. The Vulkanstraße could not be closed without providing an alternate venue. "This would amount to a professional ban and would not be accepted by the courts," according to the city administration. Later in the same year the construction of another brothel on the Vulkanstraße was approved by the District Council. Legal disputes began in 2012 over the "brothel tax" introduced by Duisburg. The city's revenue from the tax was estimated to be 500,000 euros. In 2013, the Greens and leftists in the Duisburg city council called for an advice centre for prostitutes. The "Lily" advice centre was set up in 2015. In their annual report in 2016, Lily reported that 500 women worked as prostitutes and the area, in 10 brothels with 440 rooms. They also reported a high proportion of STIs amongst the women.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63738967
Foreign trade of Benin Foreign trade, particularly informal transit trade, plays an important role in Benin's economy. Benin serves as a delivery corridor for West Africa reaching more than 100 million people in the landlocked countries of Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, and the northern states of Nigeria. Goods landed in Cotonou get placed on trucks first heading north to the border towns of Malanville in Benin and Gaya in Niger and then onto the rest of the Sahel. Parakou is the major crossroad town in Benin, where goods going west to Togo, Ghana, and Burkina Faso pass, and goods going into Nigeria transit before heading to various border crossings. The Sèmè/Kraké border crossing with Nigeria along the coastal road is a major trade nexus for many of the agricultural products imported into Benin. Benin's traditional trade links with the European Union, in particular France and Belgium, remain strong. There is presence of Chinese foodstuffs in the open-air markets and supermarkets. Benin's major trade partners include Nigeria, France, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Argentina, Brazil, the United States, China, and the United Arab Emirates. The major regional trading partners include Niger, Togo, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. Estimates of annual trade with these countries are extremely hard to determine, but some sources indicate that Benin exports about 15,000 tons of corn and 1,500 tons of rice to Nigeria, 6,000 tons of corn to Niger, 1,400 tons of corn and 2,000 tons of rice to Togo. Vegetables and animals move across these borders in large amounts in regular patterns. In “crisis years” where local crops are underproduced, Benin has sourced as much as 9,500 tons of corn and 950 tons of rice from Togo, and 6,000 tons of rice and 1,800 tons of corn from Nigeria. Nigeria's 170 million people and the country's income from oil also influence the economy of Benin significantly. Informal trade between Nigeria and Benin is substantial. Importers take advantage of Nigeria's high tariff changes and porous borders to export unrecorded rice, poultry products and other food and agricultural products to Nigeria. Trade sources estimate that more than 85% of these types of products that are shipped to Benin are meant for onward sales into Nigeria through informal cross-border trading activities. While Nigerian brokers can travel up to farms in Benin to buy vegetables, local buyers often transport their fruits, mostly pineapple and oranges, to markets on the Benin-Nigeria border. The Sèmè/Kraké border market is the best known market of the country for pineapple and orange transactions, where Nigerian brokers load up vehicles bound for Nigeria. This border crossing is also where the majority of other imported agricultural products leave Benin for Nigeria, including palm oil, rice, refined sugar, and poultry meat. According to border-based sources, Kalalè, Caldel, and Onazal in Benin are the three major border towns for the routes of cross-border trade with Nigeria. However, women carrying baskets filled with yams and other items regularly pass over the border at Chikandou in central Benin heading to the Nigerian town of Tchikanda. Benin has recognized the importance of trade transit and providing predictable policies for traders. Benin was ranked by the World Bank's annual 2014 "Doing Business" guide as 174 out of 189 countries, making it the third year in a row that Benin climbed in its ranking. Benin has lowered barriers to starting businesses by establishing a one-stop window for setting up a business, lowering time needed from ten to three days; and has boosted trading by creating a one-stop window for customs clearance at the Port of Cotonou now taking only three days, instead of the 15-30 needed previously. The Port of Cotonou has received two international awards in 2014 for information technology and public-private partnership, due in large part to the improvements in port operations resulting from reforms stimulated by the Millennium Challenge Corporation compact and U.S. Coast Guard assistance to meet international standards on security compliance. It is becoming one of the major ports in West Africa. Benin is signatory to all international trade conventions under the aegis of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Benin is also a member of the Cotonou Agreement among the European Union, Africa, and Caribbean and Pacific countries, and the regional and sub-regional economic unions such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), and it is party to the African Growth and Opportunity Act. Benin applies a common external tariff (CET – Tarif Exterieur Commun, TEC in French) together with other countries belonging to WAEMU - Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. The CET establishes four categories of products on which tariffs are zero, five, 10, and 20 percent. Benin's enactment of the CET and its accession to the World Trade Organization have eliminated many trade barriers. Benin has signed bilateral trade agreements for the promotion and the protection of investments with Germany, Tunisia, Switzerland, China, Portugal, Greece, France, and the United States. Currently imports of all products are allowed and there are no indications that this will change in the foreseeable future. The Lagos post of the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service dealt with only two trade issues between 2010 and 2014, both of which were easily and successfully resolved. Documents related to import requirements vary depending on the type of the imported goods and they are not specific to food inspection. In general, the documents to be produced by importers before the clearing of goods are the invoice, bill of lading, and pre-shipment inspection certificate issued by Bureau Veritas, the importer's import license, attestation of origin of the goods (originated from a WAEMU or ECOWAS member state), and an animal or plant health inspection SPS certificate if appropriate. In general, imports from non-WAEMU countries are subject to 48% import duty on the value of the goods. On top of these customs duties, importers are required to pay 18% value-added tax (VAT) at the point of entry.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739047
"Whispering" Bill Anderson "Whispering" Bill Anderson is a studio album by American country singer-songwriter Bill Anderson. It was released in June 1974 on MCA Records and was produced by Owen Bradley. The album's only single was the track "Can I Come Home to You". It was also his twenty-second studio recording and only album issued in 1974. ""Whispering" Bill Anderson" was recorded in March 1974 at Bradley's Barn, a studio located in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. The sessions were produced by Owen Bradley, Anderson's longtime musical collaborator. It was Anderson's twenty second album project and the twenty second to be recorded with Bradley. The album's title was derived from a nickname given to Anderson early in his career. The title was given to him because of the "whisper" quality of his singing voice. The album consisted of 11 tracks. Seven of the album's songs were written co-written by Anderson himself. The additional four track were written by others. The track, "Country Song", was written by Jack Clement, a Nashville music producer. The opening track, "Can I Come Home to You", was co-written by Jan Crutchfield and producer Buddy Killen. ""Whispering" Bill Anderson" was released in June 1974 on MCA Records, his twenty-second studio recording. The album was issued as a vinyl LP record, with six songs on side one and five songs on side two of the record. The project peaked at number 17 on the "Billboard" Top Country Albums in September 1974. The album included one single, "Can I Come Home to You". Released in 1974, the song peaked at number 24 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles chart after spending 14 weeks on the chart. The project received a positive response from "Billboard" in June 1974. "Again, a great collection of material sung in the Anderson style which puts him consistently at the top. It's a great variety of songs, including a little recitation, some fine ballads, an up-tempo tune or two, and real class," staff writers commented. All credits are adapted from the liner notes of ""Whispering" Bill Anderson".	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739082
Loyola–Towson lacrosse rivalry The Loyola–Towson lacrosse rivalry is an intercollegiate lacrosse rivalry between Baltimore's Loyola Greyhounds of the Patriot League and Towson Tigers of the Colonial Athletic Association. The teams first met in 1959 and competed at the NCAA Division II level until transferring up to Division I in 1980 for Towson and in 1982 for Loyola. The two programs share locations on Charles Street and are separated by only four and a half miles. They also share cross-street rivalries with foe Johns Hopkins (see Johns Hopkins–Loyola lacrosse rivalry). Successful in Division II, both the Greyhounds and Tigers have had success at the national level in the first division since moving up. Loyola has appeared in four Final Fours and won the 2012 national title, while Towson has appeared in three final fours of their own, in addition to their 1974 Division II championship. Through 2020, Loyola leads the series by a 34–29 margin, the most-played opponent for both schools. The series began in 1959, ending in a two-goal victory for the Greyhounds. Since that date, the rivalry has been played annually, with the lone exception being 1980. Loyola took seven of the first ten meetings, but the Tigers would dominate the 1970s, taking 11 straight matchups. This included a 20-goal thumping of the Hounds in 1974, the widest margin in the history of the rivalry. In '74, Towson would prevail in the 1974 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship to claim its first national title, defeating the Hobart Statesmen 18–17 in double overtime. The Tigers would continue to make the tournament on a regular basis on legendary coach Carl Runk, while Loyola struggled to compete with Towson. In 1980, the Tigers would move up to Division I, accounting for the only interruption in the series to date. The following season, Loyola would down Towson 13–9 to end the losing streak and would finish the season as the national runner-up in Division II. The very next year, Loyola moved up to Division I in 1982, joining the Tigers. The first contest at this level went the way of Towson and the following games would gain increasing significance. 1983 was the first between two ranked programs and would go the way of the Tigers. Both teams would make their first appearances in the Division I tournament towards the end of the decade. The 1989 affair was particularly notable as the first between two Top 10 teams, as #3 Loyola topped #8 Towson by five. The next five meetings would also be between Top 10 teams, highlighted by Towson's upset of #1 Loyola in 1992, a home overtime victory. On the national stage, the two teams enjoyed renewed success. Dave Cottle's 1990 Greyhounds finished as national runner-up and the following season would result in Runk's squad losing to North Carolina in the championship. A few years later, Towson would upset Loyola 16–11 in the 1996 tournament in their first postseason meeting. After long stretches of continued success, both programs struggled at points just before and after the turn of the century. With Cottle's departure before the 2002 season, the Hounds missed their first tournament in fifteen years. The Tigers would endure a four-year tournament drought of their own between 1996 and 2001 before new coach Tony Seamen would lead Towson to another Final Four. In 2006, new head coach Charley Toomey took over for Loyola and would return to the tournament the following year, but neither team was viewed as a serious contender at the national stage. The rivalry's importance was renewed in the 2010s, particularly after the Hound's magical season in 2012, in which they defeated Towson 13–6 and won their first-ever national championship. New Tigers coach Shawn Nadelen quickly built a worthy competitor to Loyola, though the Greyhounds would get the best of their rival in the 2016 tournament to reach another Final Four. Towson would reach the semifinals the next year and, in 2019, would knock off another top-ranked Loyola, sending the Tigers to their first appearance at the top of the national polls in program history. Since 2008, Loyola has won 14 of 16 meetings, coinciding with their high-level success at the top of the collegiate sport. The rivalry records of the current head coaches, Toomey and Nadelen, stand at 12–4 and 2–8 respectively. This includes a dominant performance by the Hounds over winless Towson in 2020, with the nine goal margin representing the largest in the series in six years. The following summarizes the accomplishments of the two programs.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739100
Colorado ice fishing Fishing in Colorado has brought in a large amount of revenue for the state. In 2019 Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimated outdoor recreation contributed roughly 62 billion dollars to the state economy. Fishing was reported to be the 5th most popular outdoor activity and 110, 511 fishing and hunting combination licenses were sold. Ice fishing makes up part of this total fishing revenue and is a common annual sport for Colorado residents and out-of-state visitors. There is no legal definition of ice fishing season. Rather, people begin to ice fish once the lakes freeze over with thick enough ice (CPW recommends ice being at least 4 inches thick). Colorado Parks and Wildlife also recommend that people always ice-fish with another person. Typically, this starts in December and ends in April for Colorado. Lakes size, depth, elevation, and seasonal weather can cause variance to the season. Once the lakes freeze over with thick enough ice, anglers go out onto the ice, drill holes through the ice, and fish for a variety of species. Before Colorado ice angers can start fishing they need to obtain their fishing license for that year and become familiar with the regulations. Currently the rules specific for ice fishing in Colorado are Other regulation outlined by fishing and location based rules can be unique. The cost are subject to change but currently the annual resident cost is $35.17 and Non-resident annual cost is $97.97. One day resident license is $13.90 and non-resident is $16.94. The amount of fish caught are regulated by the State of Colorado too. The daily bag limits are as follows: There are at-risk and endangered fish that anglers are urged to put back into the water as soon as possible by the state of Colorado. Often, angers use an Auger (drill) to drill through the ice. There are a variety of augers that operate by gas, electric, or hand power. Ice shanty is another piece of equipment popular in ice fishing. These help protect angers from the elements such as wind or precipitation. Commonly, angers use a Fishing rod to catch fish. These rods are often smaller than a standard fishing rods used by other types of fishing. This helps with the ability to use the ice hole and help anglers be less encumbered in an Ice shanty. There is also no required casting because of the limited open water. Anglers also can use a Tip-up device. This device has a trigger attached to the line which will raise up a flag that indicates when a fish has taken the bait. A variety of bait is put used with fishing poles and this is often at the discretion of the anger. There are some limitations that the state of Colorado has on bait that usually involve live bait. Oftentimes, Lesser wax moth caterpillars and Earthworm are popular in Colorado since trout with bite these. Although, there are lots of different worms, larvae, and lures that ice angers can use based on their fish type, size, and location preferences. Crustaceans and mollusks are also popular ice fishing bait choices. Warm clothing is also common since the average temperatures in Colorado can become very cool during the winter months with the average low temperature at -8 °F and average high temperature at 25 °F for the month of January There are many lakes in Colorado where anglers can go ice fishing. This is a list of popular lakes for the sport. In addition to these lakes which are typically larger, there are many other smaller and lessor known lakes that anglers may fish at. It is recommended that if you decided to explore lakes in the wilderness you are experienced with snow and mountain safety. The fish environment is different during the winter months compared to the summer months. The layer of ice on the lake affects the dissolved oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, free carbon dioxide, and temperature depending on the water depth. Often, there will be more dissolved oxygen near the surface of the lake. The temperature usually is warmer towards the bottom of a lake. There is evidence that the longest lived Northern pike, yellow perch, and bluegill stayed near the surface of the lake. Commonly small sized fish survive just as well in the winter as larger fish. This is dependent on predation and food sources of the lake. If food source is exhausted, smaller fish tend to die first. Different types of predation will affect fish survival. Size-selective predation often results in smaller fish being preyed upon more. One study shows that with predation, mortality rates are 20% higher. Although, on average smaller fish grew more in length compared to larger sized fish in the same species during the winter. Different types of fish also feed less during the winter. Warm-water fish such as pike tend to have lower activity during the winter. This activity included movement and feeding making a catch rarer. Some fish all together will not feed for multiple weeks and rely on their fat stores. Cold-water fish such as many in the carp family can be very active during the winter months. Trout, perch, bluegill and crappie all feed throughout the most of the winter and are popular catches for ice anglers. Temperatures tend to have less variability throughout the lake during the winter months and tend to be within 2 - 3 degrees Celsius. This often results in reduced lake habitat diversity. Fish will conjugate near warm water inlets during the winter months. This poses a risk for fishermen since there is a higher risk of weak ice. Although, with higher activity and density of fishes, anglers can sometimes be more successful catching fish. "Winterkill" may kill a large amount of fish when a lake experiences especially harsh winter weather. This is due to the water lacking in oxygen and associated more commonly with severe winters. Small and shallow lakes are especially at risk for "winterkill". This is often due to vegetation in the water not receiving enough sunlight to undergo photosynthesis and produce oxygen. It may also be affected by relative hydrogeology and fall climate. Bacteria, fish, and vegetation use up all the oxygen of a lake which results in the fish death. Different fish are affected differently by low oxygen levels. Trout are the most vulnerable to low oxygen levels. Walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, carp and crappie can live in water with oxygen levels at 2 ppm. A variety of fishes can be fished for during ice fishing. These include These are common sport fishes but there are many different types of Colorado Fish that anglers may catch either intentionally or unintentionally.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739148
Morgan Out Island 41 The Morgan Out Island 41 is a family of American sailboats that was designed by Charley Morgan for cruising and first built in 1971. The design was built by Morgan Yachts in the United States starting in 1970 and running until 1991, with more than 1,450 completed, but it is now out of production. The series become one of the most commercially successful yacht designs in this size range. Nearly half of the production was purchased by yacht charter operators. The Morgan Out Island 41 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop or optional ketch rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a conventional transom, a center cockpit equipped with a ship's wheel for steering and a fixed long or fin keel. There are many variations in layout, but the basic design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an "L"-shaped settee, with a folding table and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth. The aft cabin is accessible from the main cabin or from the center cockpit directly, via its own companionway. The passageway between the aft cabin and the main cabin has a workbench on the port side and double doors to access the engine room on starboard. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the forward companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner alcohol-fired stove, a icebox and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side and has a second icebox below it. There are two heads, one in the bow cabin on the starboard side and one on the starboard side in the aft cabin, both with showers. The below deck trim is teak. Ventilation is provided by a total of 14 opening ports, two opening ports on the transom, aft cabin, bow cabin and galley hatches. Light for the engine room is provided by a cockpit floor prism port light. For sailing the design is equipped with full-length perforated toe-rails that can be used for jib sheeting. The cockpit sheeting winches are two-speed. There are halyard winches on the main mast and the mizzen mast. Both masts are provided with topping lifts. The bow is fitted with an anchor roller. In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "the Morgan Out Island 41 is one of the world’s most popular cruising boats. Over 800 have been built, and the boat is used extensively in the charter industry. There is often roller furling for the jib, There are two double cabins that are really private main cabin with a double and a single; and in desperate cases, the nav station and workbench could be used for one person." A 1996 review in the "Spinsheet" by marine surveyor Jack Hornor stated, "my reaction to the introduction of the Morgan Out Island 41 in 1972 was, to say the least, disappointment. At the time, I was working as an apprentice marine surveyor and although I had no formal training yet, I was a serious student of yacht design. Much of my spare time was spent studying the work of my favorite designers. I was a traditionalist, fond of the sweet sheer lines, near perfect balance, and classic elegance evident in the designs of Philip Rhodes, Bill Tripp, and Charlie Morgan. In much the same way that I felt Bob Dylan had sold out to pop culture by going electric, I felt Morgan had betrayed his traditional roots and sacrificed elegance and balance for volume and head room with his design of the Morgan Out Island 41. Well, times they are a changing. More than 25 years later, I have a whole different perspective on this design. Dylan did some pretty good stuff too. Pure traditionalists and lovers of all out sailing performance will still not be drawn to the pudgy appearance and less than stellar sailing performance of the Morgan Out Island 41, but time has proven that this is the most popular boat over 40' ever built. More than 1,000 are still sailing all around the world. No comparable boat even comes close to this success. Conservative estimates suggest that 30 to 35 percent of the Out Island 41s went into the charter trade, and I think it's safe to say more sailors have had an opportunity to sail this venerable cruising classic than any other boat over 40'." In a 2010 review, writer Charles Diane said of the design, "the legendary designer/builder Charley Morgan allegedly conceived this boat in a fit of pique when the IOR supplanted the old CCA rule as the racing rule du jour back in 1970. If so it was an auspicious tantrum, as the Out Island 41 turned out to be an extremely successful boat and ultimately helped to transform the business of fiberglass sailboat production. The OI 41 was not only one of the first designs targeted at the emerging bareboat charter industry (the original "charter barge," if you will), it was also one of the first center-cockpit boats and one of the first to blatantly discount sailing performance in favor of maximum accommodation space."

Saint-Étienne, Uzès The Church of Saint-Étienne is a Roman Catholic church located in Uzès, in the Gard department of France. The baroque church was built in the mid-18th century, and is listed as a French monument historique. Commissioned by Bishop Bonaventure Baüyn, the Bishop of Uzès, the Church of Saint-Étienne was built to replace a previous church at the same site that had been destroyed by the Protestants during the Wars of Religion and used as a store and arsenal. The only element that remains of the original church is the bell tower, which dates to the 13th century and was spared to be used as a defensive watchtower. Construction on the baroque building occurred between 1764 and 1774, according to the designed by Pierre Bondon, an architect from Avignon. The cruciform church is laid out in the form of a Greek cross. The church was classified as a monument historique on 29 November 1974.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739498
A Christmas Carol (2017 play) A Christmas Carol is a play by Jack Thorne based on the 1843 novella of the same name by Charles Dickens. The adaptation premiered at The Old Vic in London on 20 November 2017 running until 20 January 2018, starring Rhys Ifans as Ebenezer Scrooge. The production is directed by Old Vic Artistic Director Matthew Warchus, designed by Rob Howell with music composed and orchestrated by Chris Nightingale. Notably, the production's design transforms the Old Vic proscenium stage into the round with seating on stage and a walkway going through the centre of the stalls, creating a more immersive environment for the audience and the performers (who greet and hand out mince pies and satsumas to members of the audience before the play begins). Following the success of the production, it was revived at the Old Vic for the 2018 season (24 November 2018 to 19 January 2019, starring Stephen Tompkinson as Scrooge) before returning for the 2019 season (23 November 2019 to 18 January 2020, starring Paterson Joseph as Scrooge) and is scheduled to return for the 2020 season (21 November 2020 to 16 January 2021, casting to be announced). For the 2019 season, the Old Vic production opened on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre from November 7, 2019 until January 5, 2020 starring Campbell Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge. However unlike the Old Vic, the production was adapted into a traditional proscenium arch setting. The production will return to Broadway for the 2020 season, with theatre and details to be announced.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739630
Susumu Shingu Susumu Shingū is a kinetic sculptor from Japan. His nature-inspired works are constructed of highly engineered materials, commonly steel and Teflon. Susumu Shingu, was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1937. He matriculated at the University of Fine Arts in Tokyo in 1956, with a concentration in oil painting. A bursary from the Italian government followed, allowing him to travel to Italy where his intention was to study figurative painting. He attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma from 1960 to 1962. By his own account, Shingu's interest in sculpture developed as his interest in abstraction was expanding. He hung a painting outside to record it photographically: the wind interferred. He became fascinated by the potential for three-dimensional movement. "The work that followed relied on natural forces to make it move or make sound, and he began using more sophisticated materials for outdoor works," as traditional art materials were either too heavy to supply graceful natural movement or too quickly degraded under outdoor conditions. Still in Italy, a chance meeting with Kageki Minami, the president of Osaka Ship Building Company, led to Shingu's return to Japan, where Minami allowed him a studio in his shipyard and access to the talents of company engineers. With this support, Shingu produced “Path of Wind,” a 20-meter-tall sculpture that was his first large-scale commissioned piece. He began to produce work incorporating elements from his study of the Japanese folk arts: wind chimes and traditional carp banners. Expo '70 in Tokyo was a major event on the arts scene in Japan. Shingu was one of eight Japanese sculptors chosen to represent the nation. The organizers commissioned a large piece from Shingu for the central plaza. He spent a year at Harvard University as a Visiting Artist at Harvard's Carpenter Center for the Visual and Environmental Studies, 1971 to 1972. Shingu, a prolific artist, has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions internationally. Additionally, he has collaborated in theatre projects (including variations on tradition Japanese Nô performance) and published a number of children's books. His work has been honored with many awards, including the Outdoor Sculpture Prize of Nagano City and the Japan Grand Prix of Art.

Parmotrema applanatum Parmotrema applanatum is a species of saxicolous lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Originally described from collections made in Vale do Sol, Brazil, it was introduced as new to science in 2002. In 2005, the lichen was recorded in China. The lichen has a grey thallus up to wide, comprising lobes that are 0.2–0.6 mm wide. It grows on tree-shaded rocks in open woods. The species is difficult to collect because the thallus adheres strongly to its substrate. The specific epithet "appalantum" (Latin for "plane") refers to "the notoriously plane habit of the thalli". "Parmotrema applanatum" resembles "P. hababianum", but differs from that species in lacking cilia, and containing traces of usnic acid and atranorin in its upper cortex.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63739757
