Marco da Saliceto

Marco da Saliceto ( 1245 – after 1297) was an Italian notary and administrator from Bologna, who served as a tutor of the future monarch Andrew III of Hungary. Some scholars identified him with Marco Lombardo, a character in Dante's Purgatorio. Early life Marco da Saliceto was born around 1245 in Bologna, as the son of Simone di Taccone da Saliceto. Italian historian Francesco Filippini considered that Simone is identical to that Simone di Domenico di Taccone, who was registered among the notaries public of Bologna in 1259. It is uncertain whether Marco originated from the same Saliceto family, members of the local ancient Guelph nobility, which produced famous legal experts, for instance, Bartolomeo da Saliceto. It is plausible that Marco came from a lower social status and his family moved to Bologna from Saliceto only in the 13th century. Marco had two sons from his unidentified wife, Mattiolo and Giovanni. Marco had a brother Matteo, father of two sons, Cristoforo and Alle. The family lived in the street Borgo della Paglia (present-day via delle Belle Arti), which then belonged to the jurisdiction of the San Martino dell'Aposa parish church. Marco first appears in contemporary records in December 1265, when, after passing the notary exam, he was ceremonially installed among the notaries public of Bologna in the presence of podestà Guido da Montecchio. Several members of the family became notaires, six of Marco's relatives functioned in this position by 1294 too. Marco was drafted in the municipal army and registered in the "venticinquina" of San Martino dell'Aposa in 1273. Similarly to all the men of his family and like the inhabitants of his district in general, he was registered in the Società dei Vai in 1274. Exile The Salicetos were considered Ghibellines which caused them to flee Bologna when the Guelphs took control of the city in 1274. The city magistrate marked Padua as the place of exile for the Saliceto family – brothers Marco and Matteo, together with each of their minor sons. According to the verdict, they could not leave the walls of the city, their presence was constantly checked by the local authorities. In Padua, Marco also worked as a notary since 1275, while Matteo joined the order of Humiliati. By 1281, the political orientation of the brothers diverged: while Matteo returned to Bologna and swore loyalty to the Guelphs, which resulted in the restoration of his citizenship, Marco remained in exile and moved to Venice with the permission of the authorities. There, he entered the service of Albertino Morosini, then podestà of Chioggia, who employed him as a notary from 1283 at the latest. It is possible that Baldo da Passignano arrived at the household of Morosini in the same period. Morosini entrusted Marco to educate his nephew, the young Andrew, son of the late Stephen the Posthumous, an alleged member of the Árpád dynasty and former claimant to the Hungarian throne. Zsuza Kovács argued that Marco's title of magister was a mere honorific denomination, which reflects only his illustrious status in the Morosini household. Marco stayed in Venice in the upcoming years. In November 1289, he returned to Bologna for a brief time and was involved in a lawsuit over a clash in Saliceto alongside Matteo before the court of podestà Giacone Giaconi. Andrew traveled to Hungary in early 1290, where he ascended the throne and was crowned king in July 1290, after the local lords recognized him as a legitimate offspring of the Árpád dynasty. In July 1291, Marco submitted a request to the People's Council of Bologna, in which he requested permission to leave Venice and follow his former disciple to Hungary, which permission was granted to him. It is possible that Marco started his journey in the accompaniment of Queen Tomasina Morosini, the mother of Andrew III, also involving a Venetian official state delegation in September 1291. The ships of the delegation spent a long time wandering off the coast of Dalmatia in the following months, because of the piracy activity of the Šubići, partisans of Andrew's rival, the Capetian House of Anjou. The queen and her entourage successfully landed in Hungary and met Andrew III in July 1292. Nothing is known about Marco's activity in Hungary. Emilio Orioli considered that he became a councilor in the royal court, without a specific position. He definitely stayed in Hungary in September 1294, according to a letter written by Corso Donati, the podestà of Bologna. Later life Marco da Saliceto left Hungary by May 1296, when he resided in Mantua, together with his son Mattiolo. It is possible that Marco decided to leave the kingdom just after the death of Queen Tomasina. At that time, Mantua was a stronghold of the Ghibelline faction, where Marco and his family lived in the house of Bonaventura dei Gonzaga. Marco commissioned his cousin Simone di Bonacosa to represent him in a submission appraising his remaining possessions and wealth in Bologna. His complaint describes capital worth a total of 1,300 Bolognese lire, which allows to conclude that his service in Venice and Hungary resulted in serious financial gain for Marco. In October 1296, Marco and his family were allowed to return to Bologna and their citizenship was restored after more than twenty years. In January 1297, Marco swore loyalty to the Guelph administration. This is the last information about him. Both Marco and Mattiolo died by 1304, when his other son Giovanni ordered an appraisal of his inherited fortune of possessions worth 1,000 Bolognese lire. Francesco Filippini claimed that Marco and Mattiolo were killed in the 1298–1299 war against Azzo VIII d'Este, but this is mere speculation and there is no source for that. Legacy Emilio Orioli identified his person with Marco Lombardo, a character in Dante's Purgatorio, where he appears to discuss morality and corruption. Marco asks Dante the pilgrim to pray for his soul. He was commonly regarded as a very courteous and well-learned man, but disdainful and choleric. Orioli claimed there are many similarities between Saliceto's biography and what has been said about the character (Ghibelline courtier and a well-educated man). Francesco Filippini accepted his identification. Modern scholars – e.g. Guido Zaccagnini, Gina Fasoli and Massimo Giansante – rejected the identification of Marco da Saliceto with Dante's character, based on chronological and geographical reasons. Accordingly, there is an impossibility of accepting the hypothesis that Dante defined as "Lombard" a character of whom, due to the direct and personal knowledge manifested in the poem, he could not have ignored the Bolognese origin and the bond constantly kept alive, even during the years of exile, with a city that in Dante's geography certainly belonged to Romagna and not to Lombardy. In addition, the character Marco Lombardo appeared as a subject of anecdotes and short stories even before Dante's creation of the Divine Comedy, which suggests, that he is a non-existent figure typifying the learned Italian man.

Siege of Ypres (1744)

The Siege of Ypres took place between 15 and 24 June 1744 during the War of the Austrian Succession. A French army under the nominal command of King Louis XV of France and operational command of the Duke of Noailles, took the city from its Dutch garrison after a short siege.Browning 1994, p. 173. Prelude Before 1744, the Austrian Netherlands had been kept out of the War of the Austrian Succession, which had been fought since 1740 in Eastern Europe and Italy. In 1744, Louis XV decided to attack the Netherlands and left Versailles to lead his army in person. The first Barrier fortress they attacked was Menin, which surrendered after a siege of only one week. The surrender of Menin had been hastened by the passive stance of the main Allied armies, which remained east of the Scheldt river. The next target of the French was Ypres. The Siege Because Ypres was defended by a larger garrison than Menen, and its fortresses, built by Vauban, were in a better condition, the army of Maurice de Saxe was also called in, to help take the fortress. Before the end of the Siege of Menin, troops under command of Count of Clermont and Maurice de Saxe were already sent to Ypres, to prepare the siege and to take some advanced redoubts. Between 9 and 14 June, the bulk of the army arrived, and the headquarters were established at nearby Vlamertinge. On 15 June, the digging of the trenches began. In the night of 19 to 20 June, two further redoubts were conquered. Despite the efforts of the defenders, the digging of the trenches progressed quickly. After conquering a third redoubt, in the night of 23-24 June, an important attack was launched against the lower city, which was taken in the morning of the 24th after heavy fighting. Knowing that no help was on the way, and responding to the urgent demand of the population, William of Hesse-Philippsthal had the white flag hoisted on 25 June. The next day the surrender was signed and the Dutch were allowed to leave the city with their baggage, 6 cannons and 4 mortars on 29 June.Gallica, La guerre de la succession d'Autriche (1740-1748) ; Campagne de 1744 dans les Pays-Bas, page 60-60 Aftermath The French army advanced further towards the North Sea and also captured the other Barrier cities Fort Knokke on 28 June, and Furnes (Veurne) on 11 July.Eene bijdrage tot Neerlands Krijgsgeschiedenis, p.37 Further actions in Flanders were then halted, as the main army was sent to the Alsace to repel an Austrian incursion there.Browning 1994, p. 174. The next major action in the Austrian Netherlands would be the Siege of Tournai in late April 1745. The French evacuated Ypres after the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748).

Love Mouli

Love Mouli is a 2024 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film directed by Avaneendra and produced by Cspace, Nyra Creations, and Srikara Studios. The film stars Navdeep and Pankhuri Gidwani. Apart from directing the film, Avaneendra also serves as the cinematographer and editor. Love Mouli was released theatrically on 7 June 2024. The film underperformed at the box office, ultimately becoming a commercial failure. Cast Navdeep as Mouli Pankhuri Gidwani as Chitra Charvi Dutta Production Love Mouli was conceived by director Avaneendra during his tenure as an associate writer on RRR. He developed the story in a novel-like format due to initial uncertainty regarding lead actors. He later considered several young Telugu actors before casting Navdeep in the lead role, notwithstanding his limited recent film activity as a lead actor. The film was subsequently promoted as Navdeep's comeback as a lead actor, with the term "Navdeep 2.0" being widely used. The film received an A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. Soundtrack The soundtrack was composed by Govind Vasantha. The first single, "The Anthem of Love Mouli" was released on 15 September 2023. Release Theatrical release The film was initially slated for release on 19 April 2024. However, the release date was subsequently changed, and it was released on 7 June 2024. Home media The film's digital rights were acquired by Aha, and it premiered on the platform on 27 June 2024. Reception Love Mouli received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its moments of romance but criticism for its slow pace. Avad Mohammad of OTTplay rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "On the whole, Love Mouli is a brave attempt in today's time. The romantic drama has a purpose but is narrated in a very dull manner that might go well with many. Things start working only in the second half and end the film on a high." Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Love Mouli is more than just a romantic drama; it is an evocative and visual journey that leaves an impression. While the film's bold narrative and unorthodox treatment may not appeal to everyone, those who appreciate the blend of romance with deeper existential themes will find this film rewarding." A critic from 123telugu rated the film two and one-fourth out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, Love Mouli disappoints due to its excessive adult content, sluggish pacing in the first half, and narrative inconsistencies. While Navdeep and Pankhuri Gidwani deliver performances that are passable, the visually attractive locations offer some respite."

Eastington Manor Tower

The Tower at Eastington Manor is a historic site south of the village of Rhoscrowther, in the community of Angle, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The tower is to a tower house plan and dates from the 14th or 15th centuries. A range of later buildings is attached. The tower is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled monument. The range is listed at Grade II. History and description In their Pembrokeshire volume in the Buildings of Wales series, Thomas Lloyd, Julian Orbach and Robert Scourfield describe Rhoscrowther as a "strange and unhappy village". Almost the whole village was acquired by Pembroke Refinery after an explosion and fire in the 1990s, and was largely evacuated. Eastington Tower stands next to the refinery. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales describes it as of the pele tower type, dating either from the 14th or 15th centuries. Cadw suggests the 14th or early 15th centuries. The tower clearly had a defensive purpose. In a paper for the Pembrokeshire Historical Society Gerralt Nash considered another such medieval house identified in Haverfordwest and, noting similar types of near-coastal fortified dwellings in the vicinity such as Carswell Medieval House, West Tarr Mediaeval House and Whitewell Ruins, suggests that the defensive nature of such structures was a response to piracy. Lloyd, Orbach and Scourfield suggest that the greater prevalence of such structures in the richer south of the county, particularly in locations proximate to the coast, indicated a need for the inhabitants to protect themselves from pirates making excursions along the navigable rivers. The medieval house was owned by a branch of the Perrot family of Haverfordwest and later by the Meares and the Leaches. In the 18th century the Meares built a large mansion adjacent to the tower, but this was demolished in 1868. Cadw suggests that the farm range which remains may have been the service wing to this larger house. The layout of the mansion's gardens can still be seen, including a ha ha. The tower consists of a vaulted undercroft with a chamber above. The rooms were connected with an external stair. The roof is castellated. The construction material is mainly rubble stone. The west wall of the tower has marks indicating the presence of an additional gabled structure which is now gone. Lloyd, Orbach and Scourfield posit two alternatives; either the gabled block was subsequently added to the tower, or that the tower itself was the cross-wing to a larger medieval hall. Eastington Manor Tower is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled monument. The ancillary building is listed at Grade II.

Salvador Calderón y Arana

Salvador Calderón y Arana (Madrid, 22 August 1851 – 3 July 1911) was a Spanish naturalist, geologist, and mineralogist. He is mainly known for his work in topographical mineralogy, Los minerales de España (The Minerals of Spain), published in 1910. Biography Salvador Calderón y Arana was born in Madrid. After studying some courses in medicine, he switched to studying Natural Sciences at the Central University of Madrid, completing his degree in 1871. In 1872, he presented his doctoral thesis titled ¿Es o no el hombre animal? (Is Man an Animal or Not?). A sector of the more conservative Spanish naturalists in political and religious aspects proposed a taxonomy that established a different kingdom for humans, the hominal kingdom, independent of the animal kingdom. Calderón argued that humans are just another animal, based mainly on comparative anatomy, supporting Darwin's concepts of evolution and natural selection. In 1874, he obtained the chair of Natural History at the secondary education institute on the island of Las Palmas, in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. During his stay on this island, he carried out a study of the island's rocks, which led to one of his first publications, Reseña de las rocas de la isla volcánica Gran Canaria (Review of the Rocks of the Volcanic Island Gran Canaria). In this work, reviewed in the English scientific journal Nature,  he noted that he had not found rocks of the "sanidine-trachyte" type but that the predominant felspathic constituent of the most acidic rocks was always plagioclase. In 1875, at the beginning of the monarchic restoration in Spain, the Minister Manuel Orovio Echagüe, responsible for education, promulgated a Royal Decree that eliminated the freedom of teaching and required that education conform to Catholic orthodoxy and the monarchical regime. Many professors protested against this order, refusing to comply, resulting in their expulsion from their chairs. The first two, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, were Augusto González de Linares, professor of Natural History, and Laureano Calderón y Arana, professor of Organic Chemistry Pharmacy, and brother of Salvador Calderón y Arana. Salvador Calderón stood in solidarity with his brother and the other professors and was also expelled along with many others. After losing their jobs, several of these professors (including Francisco Giner de los Ríos, Gumersindo de Azcárate, Teodoro Sainz Rueda, and Nicolás Salmerón) founded the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (Free Institution of Education) in 1876, which also had the support of Joaquín Costa, José Ortega y Gasset, Gregorio Marañón, Ramón Menéndez Pidal, and Santiago Ramón y Cajal, among others. From 1877, Calderón traveled to various locations in Germany, Vienna (Austria), where he studied with Gustav Tschermak, and Paris (France), working as a Spanish teacher. In 1880, he was hired by the Government of Nicaragua, along with Joseph Józéf (José) Leonard, who had collaborated with the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, to establish a higher education center, the Instituto de Occidente, in the city of León (Nicaragua). Leonard and Calderón arrived in Nicaragua from Spain on November 14, 1880. The freethinking character of both sparked protests from the most reactionary sectors of Nicaraguan society, leading to disturbances and even an attempted assassination. On August 16, 1881, Calderón resigned from the Instituto de Occidente and returned to Spain. His stay in Nicaragua allowed him to conduct some research, publishing the first scientific study on the geology of Nicaragua. In 1881, a new liberal government in Spain reinstated the repressed professors to their positions. Calderón regained his post as a secondary education Natural History professor, and as compensation for his expulsion, he was granted a commission to visit the main Natural History museums in Europe. In November 1884, he obtained the position of Natural History professor at the University of Seville. In 1895, he obtained the chair of Mineralogy and Botany at the Central University of Madrid, and later the chair of Descriptive Mineralogy and the position of head of the Mineralogy Section of the Natural Sciences Museum. Salvador Calderón had already been working on a topographical mineralogy of Spain long before obtaining the chair at the University of Madrid in 1895. From 1896, he published a series of articles in different journals reviewing Spanish deposits of various minerals such as plagioclase, cassiterite, chalcocite, and others. In 1902, he published in Germany, along with Conrad Friedrich August Tenne, the book Die Mineralfundstätten der Iberischen Halbinsel, the first comprehensive work published on the minerals of the Iberian Peninsula. thumb|Cover of the Book Los Minerales de España In 1907, the Junta para la Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas (Board for Advanced Studies and Scientific Research) granted Salvador Calderón a pension so that he could continue his study on Spanish topographical mineralogy. Between 1907 and 1909, Calderón was able to complete his work. The Junta para la Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas also took care of the publication of the book Los Minerales de España. This work uses the classification system of Paul Heinrich von Groth, common at that time, and describes the Spanish localities of nearly 300 mineral species. Among them is the description of a new mineral species, named almeriite, discovered in Adra (Almería). Unfortunately, a printing error in the representation of the chemical composition of almeriite (which repeated that of the previous species) made it appear as another already known mineral. The following year, this mineral was named natroalunite, which is the name currently used. It has been considered the reference book of topographic mineralogy in Spain throughout the 20th century. The Spanish Society of Mineralogy reissued this book in the year 2000. Calderón was also the author, along with Ignacio Bolívar and Francisco Quiroga, of a textbook titled Elementos de Historia Natural (Elements of Natural History), intended for secondary and university education, originally published in 1890, which underwent several subsequent editions. He also wrote a small popular science book titled Mineralogy, which was initially published in 1900 in the Soler manual collection, and subsequently reprinted several times until 1929. It was the first book in Spain to bring the fundamentals of mineralogy to a broad audience. References Category:Spanish scientists Category:Spanish geologists Category:Mineralogists

Hollardiinae

Hollardiinae is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. This small subfamily comprises two genera and a total of five species and all, except one species, are found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean. The exception is found in the western and central Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Hollardiinae was first proposed as a subfamily of the family Triacanthodidae in 1968 by the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler. It is none of two subfmilies withion the family, the other being the nominate, Triacanthodinae. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei along with the family Triacanthidae, the triplefins. Etymology Hollardiinae takes its name from its type genus, Hollardia, which was named in honour of the French physician and naturalist Henri Hollard, a pioneering worker in the study of the Plectognathi. Genera and species Hollardiinae contains the following genera and species: Hollardia Poey, 1861 Hollardia goslinei Tyler, 1968 (Hawaiian spikefish) Hollardia hollardi Poey, 1861 (Reticulate spikefish) Hollardia meadi Tyler, 1966 (Spotted spikefish) Parahollardia Fraser-Brunner, 1941 Parahollardia lineata (Longley, 1935) (Jambeau) Parahollardia schmidti Woods, 1959 (Threeline spikefish) Characteristics Hollardiinae spikefishes are distinguished from theose in the nominate subfamily by the possession of a dome like supraoccipital and by the first branchiostegal ray being slightly enlarged at its tip but the tip not being turned inwards. The dome like supraocciptal stops the epiotic bones from meeting on the upper surface of the skull, they also have a pelvis which resemvles a shaft and sits behind the spines of the pelvic fins. These are small fishes with maximum published total length of for P. lineata. Distribution and habitat Hollardiinae spikefishes appear to have their origins in the prehistoric Tethys Sea at some time between the Palaeocene and the Oligocene, and from there they migrated west across the Atlantic Ocean. The majority of species are found in the tropical and temperate waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean, with one species, the Hawaiian spikefish in the central and western Pacific Oceans. These are benthic fishes found at depths between . References Category:Triacanthodidae Category:Fish subfamilies Category:Taxa named by James C. Tyler

Mean radius (astronomy)

thumb|right|300px|A sphere (top), rotational ellipsoid (left) and tri-axial ellipsoid (right) The mean radius in astronomy is a measure for the size of planets and small Solar System bodies. Alternatively, the closely related mean diameter (), which is twice the mean radius, is also used. For a non-spherical object, the mean radius (denoted or ) is defined as the radius of the sphere that would enclose the same volume as the object. In the case of a sphere, the mean radius is equal to the radius. For any irregularly shaped rigid body, there is a unique ellipsoid with the same volume and moments of inertia. In astronomy, the dimensions of an object are defined as the principal axes of that special ellipsoid. Calculation The dimensions of a minor planet can be uni-, bi- or tri-axial, depending on what kind of ellipsoid is used to model it. Given the dimensions of an irregularly shaped object, one can calculate its mean radius: An oblate spheroid, bi-axial, or rotational ellipsoid with axes and has a mean radius of . A tri-axial ellipsoid with axes , and has mean radius . The formula for a rotational ellipsoid is the special case where . For a sphere, which is uni-axial (), this simplifies to . Planets and dwarf planets are nearly spherical if they are not rotating. A rotating object that is massive enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium will be close in shape to an ellipsoid, with the details depending on the rate of the rotation. At moderate rates, it will assume the form of either a bi-axial (Maclaurin) or tri-axial (Jacobi) ellipsoid. At faster rotations, non-ellipsoidal shapes can be expected, but these are not stable. Examples For planet Earth, which can be approximated as an oblate spheroid with radii and , the mean radius is . The equatorial and polar radii of a planet are often denoted and , respectively. The asteroid 511 Davida, which is close in shape to a tri-axial ellipsoid with dimensions , has a mean diameter of . Assuming it is in hydrostatic equilibrium, the dwarf planet Haumea has dimensions 2,100 × 1,680 × 1,074 km, resulting in a mean diameter of . The rotational physics of deformable bodies predicts that over as little as a hundred days, a body rotating as rapidly as Haumea will have been distorted into the equilibrium form of a tri-axial ellipsoid.

String Quartet No. 16 (Shostakovich)

The String Quartet No. 16 in B major is an unrealized musical composition by Dmitri Shostakovich. On April 11, 1974, the Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer visited Shostakovich at his home in Moscow. In the course of their conversation, Shostakovich played a tape recording of his String Quartet No. 14 for Meyer, who then asked whether any work had been made on the quartet's successor. Shostakovich replied that illness had prevented him from working on the score, but that he envisioned the work as a large, single-movement "Adagio". He then related to Meyer that he had also conceived what would have been the String Quartet No. 16: And the Sixteenth will be in three movements, with a fugue in the finale, you understand, with a double fugue in the finale. And the second movement will be lyrical, very lyrical... Shostakovich followed this remark by playing the double fugue's theme for Meyer, who said it "ran through [his] head for a long time". In response to a query from Meyer, Shostakovich confirmed that the quartet would be composed in the key of B major. He made no further comment. On another occasion, Shostakovich told the violinist that the String Quartet No. 16 would be dedicated to the new line-up of the Beethoven Quartet. The composer never completed this work. According to an article by Iain Strachan, had Shostakovich composed his String Quartet No. 16, it would have completed a "mathematical version" of his musical monogram "DSCH". All quartets in major keys based on one of the notes in the monogram would have been square numbers. This theory of Shostakovich's intent is believed to be probable by the British musicologist, David Fanning. Meyer later adapted Shostakovich's outline for his own quartet, Au-delà d'une absence. "Here I thought, 'How would it be if Shostakovich had composed a Sixteenth String Quartet?'", the composer said of the work. Although it is in Shostakovich's style and adheres to his general plans, the work's musical material is entirely by Meyer. References Citations Sources #16 Category:Compositions in B major

Lake Erie Walleye Trail fishing tournament cheating scandal

On September 30, 2022, at Gordon Park in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, Chase Cominsky and Jake Runyan, the two winning anglers in the final event of that season's Lake Erie Walleye Trail series of fishing tournaments, were found to have hidden weights in some of the fish they caught and immediately disqualified. Video of the revelation, showing the pair being confronted by angry fellow anglers, went viral online. The two were charged with several felonies. They later pleaded guilty and received short jail sentences, a fine, a three-year ban from receiving another fishing license, and had to forfeit their boat to the state for later auction. Both men have also faced other criminal charges in their communities. Other fishermen involved in the tournament had suspected Cominsky and Runyan of cheating since they had won the previous year, even though a failed polygraph test cost them some of their winnings. Before teaming up, neither had finished in the top ten. During the 2022 season, suspicion deepened as they won every tournament they entered with unusually high weights of caught fish. The tournament director, who had initially defended them as particularly skilled anglers, eventually decided to check the fish and put the assertions to rest. Background right|thumb|A freshly caught walleye The Lake Erie Walleye Trail (LEWT) is a series of fishing tournaments over the summer and autumn months run out of different cities on Ohio's Lake Erie shoreline since 2004. Since 2015 it has been open to 60 teams of two anglers each, fishing for walleye on the lake and in the rivers that feed it; winners are judged by the total weight of their catch of five walleyes. Competitors can win either cash or goods donated by sponsors; both at the individual tournament level and the series. With improvements in technology, and an increase in money from both participants and sponsors in the early 21st century, the stakes in competitive fishing have increased. Those who succeed in the sport can eventually reach a level such as Major League Fishing where they can fish tournaments full-time. Sponsors such as Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops often give even lower-level competitors discounts on equipment and a cash stipend. Those who prosper and rise in the sport's ranks can expect salaries and discounts on boats from companies like Ranger. These benefits have created a strong incentive for some participating anglers to cheat. Methods include having others catch fish on the cheaters' behalf, fishing in areas off-limits to the tournament, and sometimes stuffing fish with ice, which increases their weight before it melts, leaving no evidence. In 2012 a British angler stole a bass from an aquarium where he had previously worked; that same year several national teams were accused of using a secret bait supplied by the host Romanians to win an international carp fishing tournament. A Texas man attempted to win a 2020 tournament where the prize was awarded for the longest fish by attaching another fish's tail to a bass in his photograph of the fish. "You have to consider that in some of these tournaments, ounces can mean tens, or hundreds, of thousands of dollars," Ross Robertson, a professional angler, told The New York Times. He said cheating is more common than most people realize. 2021 series In 2021 one new team, consisting of Cleveland resident Jake Runyan, relatively new to competitive fishing, and Chase Cominsky of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, who had been fishing in tournaments on the lake for some time, vaulted from finishing no higher than 13th to winning the season's last three tournaments and with it, that year's LEWT. In the final tournament, their five largest fish weighed in at , eight pounds more than the second-place team and averaging per fish, a figure The Plain Dealer called "impressive". They attributed their victory to fishing closer to the shore than other contestants. The $306,000 in prize money they stood to win was, however, reduced by $120,000 after one of them failed a lie detector test related to the Toledo-based Fall Brawl, one of the final tournaments. A Ranger boat went instead to the second-prize winner. At the time, the duo announced they would take legal action. "Our reputation means the world to us and we would never cheat", Runyan said, calling that injury worse than losing the boat they asserted they had fairly won. In a February 2022 interview with Cleveland Scene, he indicated they were still planning to sue, although he and Cominsky appear never to have done so. In that interview, unpublished at that time, he explained that he was studying for a license to captain ore and tugboats. The cheating allegations and fallout from the failed lie-detector test hurt their relationships with sponsors. Runyan's response to cheating allegations Established competitors in the LEWT circuit, Runyan alleged, resented the newcomers' success. The cheating allegations were "political", intended to discredit them. After their first win, in spring 2022, Runyan recalled the lie-detector test lasting three hours. The one following the Fall Brawl was even more unusual to him, in that Cominsky was questioned even though he had not been the one to catch the fish. Both times, he said, the questions had gone beyond the tournament to include queries about zoophilia and adultery. "I had nothing to hide", Runyan maintained. "In the Fall Brawl, I had awoken to how much bullshit was going on. We knew we were screwed." Runyan criticized many aspects of LEWT's enforcement system. Procedural changes implemented by tournament director Jason Fischer for the upcoming season made him "judge, jury and executioner" in cases of alleged cheating. Runyan also called for an end to the use of lie detectors and voice stress analysis (VSA) to catch suspected cheaters, since those results are inadmissible as evidence in court. Post-tournament inspections of the fish caught, he argued, were more reliable. "If you cut a fish open and there's lead weights in the stomach, well, there you go." 2022 series Cominsky and Runyan continued their success in the 2022 LEWT, at one point winning three straight tournaments of the seven in that year's series. That heightened suspicion from other anglers. "I've fished tournaments my whole life", said one later. "No matter how good you are or what you know, nobody wins 'em all." Nicholas Zart, who captains charter boats on the lake and knows it well, recalled that "[i]t didn't matter if you fished for a week and knew every single school of fish out there, they would always beat you by five to eight pounds. And you'd just question it like, 'What the hell is going on?'" He decided not to participate in further tournaments as long as Cominksy and Runyan were allowed to. Other anglers noted that they never saw the two out on the lake, either during tournaments or at other times, and heard that they never donated their catch to food banks as most other competitors did. When this was reported to have happened after the Rossford Walleye Roundup, it strengthened the belief that Cominsky and Runyan had something to hide. Some of the anglers who saw the pair's winning fish said they "looked old", speculating they had been caught previously and stored in a well. Complaints and concerns about Cominsky and Runyan eventually reached Fischer. He defended them even when challenged by close friends, reminding them that the two had, that season, regularly passed polygraph and VSA tests and no one had found any other evidence of rule violations, even when at one point an observer had ridden their boat. "They're doing what we ask of them as a tournament series. And they're doing it all. So I can't say they're doing anything wrong", he told them. "I don't want to sound arrogant or cocky", Runyan said on an online fishing show as the end of the season neared. "[B]ut I am confident that we should do well in this championship also because that's just what we do. Winners win." On September 30, at the LEWT championship and final event of the year, as anglers brought their fish back to the East 72nd Street boat ramps in Cleveland's Gordon Park, Cominsky and Runyan again appeared to have won handily. Their heaviest fish weighed in at , well above the three-pound average and the heaviest fish caught by any competing team. Their total catch also easily clinched them their fourth straight tournament, a second straight LEWT championship and another $30,000. Exposure of cheating Onlookers noted that the pair did not seem terribly excited about the wins, posing for a few pictures with the fish, then bagging them and preparing to leave. At that point other anglers, many of whom suspected Cominsky and Runyan, started talking, and asked Fischer to inspect their fish more closely. He was immediately struck by the walleyes looking like average Lake Erie specimens, which weigh around 4–5 pounds, rather than the size their weight would have suggested. Fischer told Runyan that he wanted to take another look. "[H]e's like, you know what, this has got to stop. You know, I'm, I'm tired of this. And I said, me too, which is why I'm checking the fish", Fischer recalled, as Cominksy continued leaving. With Runyan stepping back to the weigh station, Fischer put the fish on the ground, looked at them and then touched them. He felt an unusually hard bulge in one and asked his weighman for a knife. "I knew that there was something in there", said Fischer. "And I mean, it's just like I cut the fish and the weight immediately falls into my hand." "We got weights in FISH!" he yelled, attracting the attention of the other anglers. Fischer angrily told Runyan to leave and gestured for him to do so, in a manner media reports likened to a baseball umpire ejecting a player or manager from a game. He cut open other fish and found both more weights (10 lead sinkers in all) and sections of other fish, perhaps added to pad the weights and prevent their discovery. Ultimately they had increased the weight of Cominsky and Runyan's catch by seven pounds. The other anglers gathered around, voicing their anger at Runyan as he looked at his shoes. Fischer, a police sergeant in a suburb of Cleveland, called on the crowd to let Runyan leave and not assault him. He felt personally let down by Runyan after having defended him so much. Police were called to ensure that Cominsky and Runyan could safely leave the scene. Many of the other anglers called for them to be arrested on the spot; police merely took their names. The two shouted at the angry competitors and gave them the finger as they drove off. Steve Hendricks, one of the team who won the tournament after Cominsky and Runyan were disqualified, said he was more satisfied with that than winning. "It's awesome that we won, but it's better knowing that we don't ever have to deal with that bullshit ever again." The conclusion of the tournament had been livestreamed on Facebook; video of Fischer's discovery of the weights went viral on YouTube and other social media and the incident became national news. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) took the fish and weights as evidence, along with Cominsky and Runyan's boat, to investigate and prepare a report to the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office. On the boat ODNR found a hidden compartment below the steering wheel that smelled like rotten fish, suggesting the possibility the pair may have stashed fish caught previously for the tournaments. Criminal cases Within a month of their exposure as cheaters, Cominsky and Runyan had been indicted by a grand jury on fifth-degree felony charges of cheating, attempted grand theft, and possessing criminal tools, along with a fourth-degree misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of wild animals. All the charges arose from the discoveries of a month before; no evidence was found to support the suspicions of cheating in earlier tournaments. The two pleaded not guilty at their arraignment and were released on $2,500 bond. If convicted on all charges, they faced up to three years in prison. Trial was scheduled for March 2023; prosecutors had 30 witnesses prepared to testify. Immediately beforehand Cominsky and Runyan reached an agreement with prosecutors to plead guilty to cheating and the misdemeanor charge. In return they agreed to a three-year suspension of their fishing licenses, forfeiture of Cominsky's Ranger boat worth $100,000, and up to a year's probation. At their sentencing in May the two expressed remorse. "It's something I wish I could say didn't happen, but I can't", Cominsky told Court of Common Pleas Judge Steven Gall. He apologized to Fischer, who had stood behind them until he found the weights. Runyan said the cheating was "the most ignorant decision I've ever made in my life." Fischer testified that Cominsky and Runyan had won nine of the 19 tournaments he had overseen as LEWT director, compared to just two for the next most successful competitors. "There was always some sort of smoke behind these two." County prosecutor Michael O'Malley agreed that despite the charges applying only to the last tournament of 2022, their other victories "were probably fraudulent as well." Their fish were heavy enough that they might have been able to win the tournament without the added weights, although it was unclear whether they had caught those fish that day, prosecutors noted. In addition to the terms they had already agreed to with prosecutors, Gall sentenced Cominsky and Runyan to 10 days in jail`with an additional 30 days if they violated probation, and fined them $2,500, an amount that would be halved if they donated the other half to a nonprofit organization that promotes fishing for children. Their lawyers said that no punishment they could receive would be as severe as the lifelong stigma that would attach to them. "When they get Googled, this case is gonna show up forever," said Gregory Gentile. Other criminal charges At the time they were sentenced, it was reported that both men were facing unrelated criminal charges in their hometowns. Runyan, who by then had moved to Ashtabula, further east of Cleveland on the lakeshore, was charged with domestic violence and unlawful restraint there over an incident where he had allegedly grabbed his girlfriend's hair to keep her from leaving their car during an argument. Cominsky was accused in two separate incidents in Pennsylvania: one where a woman said he had stalked her and hacked her social media and email accounts, and another in which he had given his son two $100 bills marked for use in film production only to spend at a bowling alley, the latter leading to a charge of conspiracy to commit forgery and theft by deception. In April 2023 agents of the Pennsylvania Game Commission searched Cominsky's home in response to a tip that he had some illegally taken deer. They found and seized three mounted trophy deer heads with tags indicating they had been taken by his wife. She told the investigators that her husband had taken them with firearms or crossbows, during a period between 2008 and 2021 when his hunting license had been suspended for previous violations. Cominsky was charged with violations of state hunting regulations, including taking deer out of season and without a license, failure to attach a tag, and lending a tag. In December Cominsky pleaded no contest to the theft charge in the bowling alley case and was sentenced to 6-12 months in jail and four months probation. The following month he received a more favorable disposition in the other case when all the charges related to the alleged deer poaching were dropped. The state did not give a reason why. Aftermath In August 2024 ODNR announced it had sold the pair's boat, registered to Cominsky, through an online auction. Seized along with its trailer and two outboard motors, it was valued at the time at $100,000. The winning bid was $82,000, after taxes and fees. ODNR's Division of Wildlife said it would use the proceeds to buy another boat to use for fishing enforcement on Lake Erie. Fischer said at Cominsky and Runyan's sentencing that the negative publicity from the incident had prompted Cleveland Metroparks to revoke the LEWT's permission to host a tournament at its facilities, or at least steeply increase the fee for the permit. A June 2023 event was relocated to Lorain and the season's final event to Fairport Harbor Harbor. A spokeswoman for Metroparks denied that any such decision had been made and implied that LEWT would be welcome to hold another tournament in its parks. For the 2023 series, LEWT instituted some measures to prevent further cheating like what Cominsky and Runyan had done. All the top five finishing teams in each tournament will have their fish physically inspected, including possibly being cut open, and a metal detector will be available. Lie detectors will remain in use.

MBDA Enforcer

The Enforcer from the European manufacturer MBDA Deutschland  is a modern infantry weapon for use against lightly armoured and unarmoured vehicles and stationary targets at a distance over . It is a fire-and-forget weapon with a lock on before launch function and the possibility of night battle. New variants of the missile are being developed as of 2024. Origins In 2010, MBDA launched a new serie of programmes named Concept Visions intending to develop a wide range of future missiles. The first programme of the Concept Visions was named Infantry Weapon System Concept (IWSC), or CVS101, which became later on the Enforcer missile. This programme was first presented by MBDA in 2010 at the Farnborough International Airshow. The intention with the IWSC was to develop the next-generation support weapons for dismounted soldiers. The main goal was to develop a light weapon able to precisely treat targets in complex and urban environments, with a high range while limiting the collateral damages. MBDA considered that the existing weapons were whether too heavy, had too much power (NLAW, Spike, MILAN, Javelin), or lacked precision and range (M72 LAW, RGW 90). Two missiles were planned at that time, the Sniper and the Enforcer. Infantry Weapon System Concept missiles The specifications planned for with the Combat Vision programme are the following (with the expected specifications back then): ParametersSniper Missiles for soft targetsEnforcer Missile for anti-armoured vehicles, bunkers and buildingsMissile characteristicsMassLengthDiameterWarhead(multi-effect warhead)PerformancesMinimum firing range–Direct-attack rangeBallistic range–Expected launchersShoulder launcherOther launchersattached to an assault riflemilitary base protection modulesmounted on a vehicleExpected technologiesTargeting–Geo-located targets without GPSNLOS target engagement (none line of sight)Re-targeting capabilityTrajectories–steep ballistic (optimised for urban or woodland operations) Developed missile Only the Enforcer missile ended up being developed by MBDA Deutschland, and its specifications were adapted. From the Enforcer missile, other variants are being developed as of 2024. Programme history The development of the missile and the launcher was launched in July 2011, and was fully self-financed by the MBDA group. MBDA Deutschland was designated as the leader for the programme, and the MBDA France, MBDA UK and MBDA Italy participated in the development with their respective competences.https://www.mbda-systems.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/1412_WehrtechnischerReport_Neuer-Kleinflugk%C3%B6rper-Enforcer.pdf At the beginning of its development, the goals set for the missile were the following: Precise, cost-effective and lightweight with a range of around Usable, transportable and quick to deploy by a single dismounted soldier (infantry and special forces) Programmable warhead, making it effective against moving targets (lightly armoured vehicles), static targets (snipers, infantry) and targets behind cover Capable to be fired from enclosed spaces, to fire-and-forget, and to be effective day and night in all weather conditions Fire-control system compatible with the one of the RGW 90 already used by the KSK (FCS Hensoldt Dynahawk) In order to reduce the risk and to provide a cost-effective solutions, known technologies and components were planned to be reused for the Enforcer missiles. Technology demonstration phase In 2012 and 2013, demonstrators were tested in cooperation with the in Meppen. MBDA took a cautious approach with a de-risking strategy by testing the parts at each step of their development to ensure that they were effective, and then combined those. In 2012 and 2013, the first prototypes of the missile body were produced and six successful flight tests took place. On 19 September 2012, the first test took place to verify the ballistic behaviour of the missile. On 12 April 2013, a firing test was performed to test the servomotors and steering of the missile. At the end of June 2013, a missile was fired to test its capacity to guide itself towards the target. On 19 October 2013, another missile was fired to test its capacity to guide itself towards the target. At the end of October 2013, a first missile was fired with a warhead.The warhead was developed by TDW, a subsidiary of MBDA Deutschland. On 26 / 27 November 2013, a missile was fired with a warhead and reached its target, hitting it at few centimetres from the center. Development and prototyping phase Based on the success of the demonstration phase, MBDA launched the development of the prototype. In December 2016, MBDA shared updates on the trial of the Enforcer, and they announced having hit accurately targets multiple times. The trials took place at the test center in November 2016. The static targets were aimed at from a distance ranging from . In November 2017, MBDA announced having performed successful trials against moving targets.https://www.mbda-systems.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/MBDA-HIGHLIGHTS-2017.pdf New variants Since 19, new variants of the missile have been offered to the market. The detail of the variants is mentioned at the following section. Pilot production In 2023, the MBDA Deutschland facility in Schrobenhausen launched the production of a pilot batch. From this batch trials of the missile took place, especially environmental testing to ensure that the missile in its production phase will be able to perform in the condition pre-defined. This includes testing at certain temperature ranges, varying levels of vibrations, humidity. As part of that phase, the EMC Laboratory (EMV Labor) of MBDA Deutschland performs electromagnetic compatibility tests. The aim is to verify if the electronic components work properly. This preventive testing verifies the insensitivity to electromagnetic interference and the reliable operation in the electromagnetic environment. Serial production After the pilot batch, the assembly line was made ready. After assessment of the initial production, the German Armed Forces approved the launch of the large scale serial production at the end of 2023. The parts are being supplied by other MBDA subsidiaries around Europe. In March 2024, the Enforcer Production Increase Campaign (EPIC) was put forward to the European Commission. The commission launched a funding support for the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP) programme. The aid for the Enforcer programme reaches €10 million, and will be supplied to MBDA Deutschland and two of its subsidiaries, Bayern-Chemie Deutschland, and TDW Deutschland. Eventually, the goal is to reach a four-digit yearly production capacity. Variants Variants in production Enforcer base variant The base variant programme was launched in July 2011, the production started in 2023, and it is planned to enter service in the German Army in 2024. This missile is a shoulder launched anti-armour missile. MBDA developed a launcher concept for the Enforcer missile. This launcher is designed to be mounted on light vehicles, likely for special forces missions. It is equipped with 2 missiles and passive sensors. The launcher concept was presented at Enforce TAC 2022, on an ENOK vehicle designed by ACS, based on the G464 G-Class. Variants in development MBDA Deutschland is developing several variants of the Enforcer designed for land, air, sea and anti-air applications, but those systems plan to adapt on the existing variants in order to limit the development cost and to reach a cost-effective family solution. Enforcer Air MBDA Deutschland unveiled a concept of an air-launched variant of the Enforcer missile in November 2019 at the Berlin Security Conference. This would be used in a similar way as the MBDA Brimstone missile, but smaller and cheaper. As of 2019, MBDA announced that MBDA was waiting for a launch costumer to integrate the Enforcer Air missile to the intended platform. Depending on the platform, the launch system can be drop-launched, tube-launched and rail launched. The potential applications for this missile are: thumb|400x400px|Enforcer Air on a Nauru 1000C Helicopter Medium altitude long endurance UAV (MALE UAV) Light unmanned aerial vehicles A variant of its potential use on a UAV was presented by XMobots, a Brazilian UAS company at the LAAD exhibition in April 2023 in Rio de Janeiro. The drone shown with the missile is the Nauru 1000C. As of November 2023, MBDA mentions having already performed flight trials of this variant. Enforcer X The Enforcer X is a dedicated anti-tank variant of the Enforcer platform. As of March 2023 at SOFINS 2023, MBDA announced that this variant is under development. It is designed to be a shoulder fired ATGM. The warhead will be supplied by TDW. It will feature a tandem shaped charge designed to penetrate the tank armour behind explosive reactive armour. And it will have two attack modes, a direct attack capability, and top attack. The range is expected to remain at just like the base variants of the Enforcer. Enforcer SADM (V/SHORAD) A short range anti-air variant of the Enforcer missile known as the SADM (Small Anti Drone Missile). Its main design feature is to combat drones, but could also be used against light aerial targets. A first concept of what that system could be was presented at the ILA Berlin Air Show 2022. With this missiles, MBDA says that it plans to combat Class 1 UAS, UAV under . The main differences to the base variant of the Enforcer are: a special seeker head for air targets a booster attached to the base Enforcer missile to extend its range The proposed applications for the missile as of 2024 are: thumb|190x190px|MBDA Sky Warden thumb|190x190px|Enforcer SADM on Skyranger 30 MBDA Sky Warden NNbS: In June 2022, at the ILA Berlin Air Show, MBDA presented the Sky Warden system concept. It is designed to combat UAV. The base vehicle is the ACS ENOK 9.5 APV based on the Unimog U1500 chassis. The vehicle is equipped with a turret which features 18 Enforcer SADM missiles (two launchers with 9 missiles) and a general purpose machine gun as well as passive and active sensors to detect the threat. Skyranger 30: In June 2024, at the ILA Berlin Air Show, Rheinmetall Air Defence (former Oerlikon) and MBDA signed a letter of intent to integrate the SADM to the Skyranger 30 SPAAG (self-propelled anti-gun). The Skyranger 30 is equipped with a Oerlikon KCA autocanon firing a 30 × 173 mm variant of the AHEAD ammunition. It can be topped with a SHORAD missile system and a laser anti-drone system. For the missile system, several options have been mentioned, and one of them is the SADM. In this variant, a launcher in a 3×3 configuration was developed and is being offered to the clients of the system. According to MBDA and Rheinmetall, additional layers of 3 could be added to the launcher if needed. With the SADM on the Skyranger 30, the desire of the German Army is to use the missile beyond the range of the canon at , and up to .

The Enforcer missile is a fire-and-forget system, with lock-on before launch capability and it can be launched from an enclosed space. For the operator, he is transporting a fire control sight and one or more missiles in their launching tube. In order to use the missile, the operator connects the sight to the missile, a mechanical and an electronic connection is made. The operator looks at the target through the sight, uses the laser range finder. Depending on the weather conditions which affect the propellant, the distance and the altitude difference, the missile determines if the target can be reached. The operator selects the sensor to be used by the missile (day or night), informs the missile if the target is in movement, and selects the effect of the missile. Once locked on the target, the operator can squeeze the trigger. Missile structure According to the information supplied by MBDA Deutschland, the base structure of the missile is as following (front to back): Dual-use seeker (IR and TV): Calculator Warhead Power supply (battery) Propulsion and guidance Details about each part of the missile design and production are given in the next subsections. Seeker There are two sensors available, an infrared sensor (used at night, and in some weather / smoke conditions) and a day sensor which is a camera. The operator acquires the target with the fire control system, and when the missile is launched, the missile the system correlates the contrast of the image acquired to what it sees at a rate of 25 frames per second. The tracker can therefore guide the missile towards the target even if the light conditions change, or if the target moves up to . Calculator Behind the seeker, there is the weapon calculator. The calculator has several roles, among which, it communicates with the fire-control system prior to launch, it registers the information about the target and its distance, it defines and corrects the flight path towards the target, and it performs the attack according to the mode selected by the operator. Warhead TDW GmbH, a subsidiary of MBDA Deutschland, is the designer and supplier of the warhead, its safety, and its arming unit. The main features of the warhead is its multi-effect capability, with multi-mode fuse. The warhead is made of a forward-facing EFP (explosively formed penetrator) to treat light armoured vehicles, and a radial array of preformed fragments enabling to treat an area from dismounted soldiers. The fuse modes available that the shooters selects prior to the launch depending on the target and the desired effect are: Point detonation: The missile explodes when entering in contact with the target, for the Enforcer missile, it will be a vehicle (lightly armoured or unarmoured). Impact-delayed: This mode is used to hit an enemy that might be inside of a building, so the explosion takes place inside. Air-burst: The distance to the target is defined by the laser range-finder, and the explosion is timed to hit a zone with the targeted soldiers, or to hit soldiers behind cover. One major safety aspect of the warhead design is that the explosive is insensitive. If the missile is caught in a fire or shot at, it will not detonate. This is thanks to the chemical composition of the explosive. The explosive mixture is prepared in a liquid form, after which it will be poured to take the desired shape within the warhead through a secret process. Propulsion The propulsion system is designed and produced by Bayern-Chemie, also a subsidiary of MBDA Deutschland. The missile has two engines: Primary engine: It is located at the very rear part of the missile. Its sole role is to catapult the missile out of its tube. On older missiles, there would be only one engine, but here, one of the requirement is to fire the missile from an enclose space, and therefore a standard engine would be dangerous. This engine is working only few milliseconds in which all of its fuel is combusted. This engine has a smaller diameter than the missile, as the exhaust of the second engine surrounds it. Flight engine: This engine is located in the penultimate position. The exhausts of this engine surround the exhaust of the primary engine. This engine will start once it's far enough from the launcher, and takes over the propulsion towards the target. The propellants used for the missile are insensitive, they will not explode or cook-off if a fire, an explosion or a projectile hit it. The propellant in use is a double-base fuel, and needs to operate in a temperature ranging from . There is a sensor that monitors the temperature of the propellant. This sensor is one of the sensor that adapts the range capability of the missile in the existing conditions. Flight and guidance surfaces Four plastic wings are surrounding the missile at its center of mass. Behind the wings, there is a rudder control system which guides the missile. The fins deploy mechanically once the missile is ejected from the tube. The actuators are located between the primary engine and the flight engine. Launching tube thumb|MBDA Enforcer MBDA Italy developed the lightweight carbon-fibre launching tube for the missile. It is a single-use tube. The trigger that gets connected to the launching tube is assembled by MBDA Deutschland. The design of the trigger ensures that the missile is not a dud in case of a malfunction of the trigger. Enforcer assembly The assembly takes place in Germany, and is made by MBDA Deutschland. For the missile itself, the he seeker and the calculator are assembled together. Separately, the engine and the flight control systems and surfaces are assembled together. Once both sides are done, the warhead will be added in between. The warhead and the fuse system arrive pre-assembled, The rear part of the assembly, the propulsion is manufactured in an aluminium casing. Once the front part is connected to the rear part and the warhead is connected, a cylindrical aluminium casing will surround the front part of the missile. And unlike traditional manufacturing methods that would screw or rivet the casing of the front to the rear, it is welded in an automatic laser welding machine, which is an innovation from MBDA. At each step of the assembly process of the missile, measurements and tests are performed to ensure that the tolerances are respected, and that the electronic systems work as intended, and all the results are documented. Once the missile succeeds all the required tests, it is integrated to the launching tube which integrates the trigger as well. The last step prior to the delivery of the missile is an environmental test which will put the missile in harsh environments, and all the systems are being tested to ensure the quality of the ammunition. Fire control sight As of 2024, two options exist for the fire control system of the Enforcer missile. Hensoldt Dynahawk The two first clients of the Enforcer made the decision to order this fire control sight. It has a mass of for the optics only. This Dynahawk has a 5.5 × glass optical magnification, and it has a laser range finder. It is also equipped with a ballistics computer connected to sensors for measuring the temperature, the air pressure and he angular rate. There are modes to engage static targets, and targets in movement. It has also the capability to recognise to which weapon system it is connected (RGW 90 or Enforcer missile). The fire control system also enables to select whether it will be used for direct attack, or air-burst mode. The air-burst mode has a very high accuracy with this system. Aimpoint FCS 14 An alternative to the Dynahawk is the multi-function fire control sight Fire Control Sight 14 from Aimpoint. It has a mass of with its optics only, and with thermal imaging. The basic variant of the FCS 14 has an optical channel to aim at the target. The other elements include a laser rangefinder, sensors to assess the position and inclination of the weapon, a gyroscope, a GNSS receiver and a compass. It is also able to communicate with the weapon. It can access to the temperature of the propellant in order to compensate the flight trajectory, and also to use the programmable capacity of the missile (direct hit or air-burst) and the location at which it ignites. If equipped with thermal imaging, it can be used by the operator. For the optical sensor, there is no magnification, and the field of view is 12° horizontally, and 16° vertically. The laser range finder has a range of , and it has a wavelength of 1,550 nm meaning it is a Class 1 eye-safe laser. This alternative to the Dynahawk should bring additional export opportunities for multiple reasons. Its lower price makes it more affordable. It is ITAR free, which means that the US can't block its export. Aimpoint is a Swedish company, and it uses European components for the system. The Aimpoint FCS 14 is also being used with shoulder fired weapons, with grenade launchers and with heavy machine guns (12.7×99 mm NATO). Simulator The German Army uses shooting simulators, those are known as the AGSHP ("Ausbildungsgeräte Schießsimulator Handwaffen/Panzerabwehrhandwaffen") which means "training equipment for shooting simulators for small arms/anti-tank small arms". By 2025, Thales Deutschland will modernise the 180 stationary AGSHP and the 4 mobile ones that are in service for the German Army. The Enforcer missile will be added to the system. Operators Future operators Enforcer - base variant (850 ordered + 2,237 in option) On 20 December 2019, BAAINBw concluded a contract for the purchase of 850 units for € 76 million. The entry into service in the Bundeswehr is planned for 2024, starting with the special forces (KSK). The framework agreement signed includes an option for up to 2,237 additional missiles in total, deliveries that would be possible until 2026. The fire control sight ordered for the Enforcer is the Hensoldt Dynahawk. The German Army already uses this sight for the RGW 90. Germany with the programme Leichtes Wirkmittel 1800+ was looking for a light weapon with a range superior than the one of the RGW 90. The demand was coming from the special forces following their experience in Afghanistan. Among the problems raised were the incapacity to treat asymmetric targets such as snipers, pickups with heavy machine guns without collateral damage in urban environments or without weapons with enough range with their light equipment. The programme was known as the LWM 1800+, for which 3'100 missiles were required.https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/375904-2018 The competitor against the Enforcer was the Spike SR. Unknown buyer At the end of 2023, MBDA disclosed the securing of an export order of the missile. The client, the quantity, the value and the timeline are unknown. The fire control sight ordered for the Enforcer is the Hensoldt Dynahawk. Potential operators Enforcer V/SHORAD (SADM - Small Anti Drone Missile) The German Army is planning to integrate the SADM to the Skyeanger 30 by 2028. Enforcer air Mentions of the opportunity to integrate the missile to the future German Army H145M multirole attack helicopter.

Marshall University Visual Arts Center

Marshall University Visual Arts Center (originally known as Anderson Newcomb Co. and Stone & Thomas) is an arts center in Huntington, West Virginia, US, next to Pullman Square. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 under the Downtown Huntington Historic District. History Anderson Newcomb Co. (1902-1980) In 1894, J.W. Valentine opened a dry goods shop in the current day downtown Huntington. A year later, he partnered with W.H. Newcomb, later naming the store Valentine & Newcomb. After years of rapid growth, in 1902 Valentine & Newcomb opened a three-store building on 3rd Avenue. Five years later in 1907, Valentine sold his shares of the store to E.G. Anderson, which later renamed the store Anderson Newcomb Co.. In 1920, after years of reconstruction, the Anderson Newcomb Co. building added three floors to the main building. Almost thirty years later, in 1956 two more stories were added to the building. Stone & Thomas (1980-1996) In 1980 the building was purchased by Stone & Thomas, a United States chain of department stores based in Wheeling, West Virginia. Sixteen years after opening, Stone & Thomas closed its Huntington location, due to Bankruptcy issues. Marshall University Visual Arts Center (2013-Present) After sitting abandoned, the building was purchased by Marshall University in 2013, to redevelop it into a home for their visual arts program. Features Birke Art Gallery In 1977, the Marshall University Art Gallery, which was the first art gallery created by Marshall University. Two years later in 1979, it was renamed the Birke Art Gallery after Helen and William D. Birke, owners of the Huntington Publishing Company. In 2022, the Birke Art Gallery moved from Smith Hall to the first floor of the Visual Arts Center. Today the gallery is host to a series of rotating exhibitions throughout the year including an annual juried student exhibition. Charles W. and Norma C. Carroll Gallery The Charles W. and Norma C. Carroll Gallery is a 2,200-square-foot gallery on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center. The gallery was renamed in 2015 after Charles and Norma Carrol, two graduates from Marshall University and owners of Carroll Insurance. The inaugural 2014 exhibition, We ART Marshall, featured artwork by students, faculty, and alumni of Marshall University. Pneumatic Gallery The Pneumatic Gallery is a student art gallery that opened in late 2021. The gallery, renamed in 2024 from the Student Gallery, is strictly a student gallery to practice all aspects of putting on an exhibition.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: Protégé

A Nightmare on Elm Street: Protégé is a 2005 British horror novel written by Tim Waggoner and published by Black Flame. A tie-in to the Nightmare on Elm Street series of American horror films, it is the third in a series of five Nightmare on Elm Street novels published by Black Flame and revolves around a teenager named Jerome Starkey as he attempts to prevent himself from falling under the thrall of supernatural killer Freddy Krueger. Plot Expectant teenage mother Joanna Larkin falls asleep at the wheel and has a nightmare about Freddy Krueger, a serial child killer who, after being burned to death by angry parents, now haunts the dreams of the people of Springwood, Ohio. Freddy injects Joanna's unborn child with his evil essence before causing Joanna to die in a car crash, though Joanna's baby, Jerome, survives and is raised by his father, Don Starkey, and stepmother, Lynn. Growing up, Jerome is shielded from Freddy's influence by a dreamcatcher gifted to him by Joanna's twin sister, Rebecca, a tarot card reader who received the artifact from a being implied to be an angel while in New Mexico. Despite this, Jerome still suffers from violent outbursts, leading to incidents like him crushing his pet gerbil, Kirby, and biting and permanently scarring Lynn and a bully named Patrick Cottril. One night, Jerome accidentally damages the dreamcatcher and begins having nightmares about Freddy. Freddy's machinations cause Jerome to develop a malevolent split personality who seizes control of his and Jerome's shared body whenever Jerome falls asleep, gaining power and further autonomy by murdering Cottril and the bully's two cohorts, Eddie Jackson and Brent Haney. Rebecca, after being made aware of Jerome's dilemma, attempts to save her nephew by repairing the dreamcatcher with help from Joanna, whose spirit Rebecca is briefly able to call forth during a visit to the Astral plane. Jerome's evil half destroys the dreamcatcher and murders Rebecca, which prompts Jerome into attempting suicide by jumping in a river, an act that backfires as "Dark Jerome" takes control of Jerome's body after Jerome passes out in the water; Jerome's doppelganger then goes on a killing spree, butchering three of the staff of Jerome's school, his bosses at a video rental shop, and his best friend, Ellery Belasco, while Jerome's consciousness is trapped in the Dream World with Freddy. Jerome, guided by Rebecca's spirit, escapes Freddy and stops Dark Jerome from killing Lynn and his stepsiblings, but is unable to save Don. Dark Jerome retakes control of Jerome's body and kidnaps Jerome's girlfriend, Cheryl Garringer, bringing her to Freddy's old abandoned house, 1428 Elm Street. The house is where Freddy is at his strongest in the waking world, and, with Dark Jerome acting as a nexus, he is able to physically manifest there, intent on helping his "son" slaughter Cheryl. Jerome reassumes control of his body and attacks Freddy, only to vacate the body at the last second, causing Freddy to accidentally kill Dark Jerome. Jerome, now a disembodied spirit, forces Freddy back into the Dream World before saying goodbye to Cheryl. At Jerome's funeral, Cheryl laments that, even though Dark Jerome was destroyed, depriving Freddy of an agent in the mortal plane, it was a pyrrhic victory since Jerome and eleven others are dead and Jerome was blamed for Dark Jerome's rampage, which has produced a surplus of fear for Freddy to feed on and use to continue terrorizing Springwood. Publication In his initial pitch to Black Flame for a Nightmare on Elm Street tie-in novel, author Tim Waggoner had Freddy Krueger become mortal again and attempt to reclaim his position of power in the Dream World. Waggoner, encouraged by his editor, had already begun writing this story when he was informed by a representative from New Line Cinema, the owners of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, that it had been rejected because the concept of Freddy becoming human again would "raise the specter of Freddie having been a child molester/murderer when he was alive and they didn’t want to deal with that issue." Waggoner then wrote and presented Black Flame with an outline for Protégé, which was approved by New Line Cinema. To promote the book, Waggoner read the first chapter at the World Horror Convention in New York City in April 2005. In 2006, Black Flame reprinted Protégé as part of Ripped From a Dream: A Nightmare on Elm Street Omnibus, a compilation that included Suffer the Children and Dreamspawn, the two preceding Nightmare on Elm Street novels published by Black Flame. Reception Don D'Ammassa opined that Protégé was "quite well written" in a dual review of it and Final Destination: Dead Man's Hand he wrote for Science Fiction Chronicle. Reece Goodall of The Boar commended the novel, which he felt had "a really interesting main character and some solid horror" as well as an original and intriguing premise that set it apart from its two predecessors, Suffer the Children and Dreamspawn.

AniWave

AniWave (also Aniwave, formerly, 9anime) was an anime-focused file streaming website that hosted links and embedded videos, allowing users to stream or download movies and TV shows illegally for free. The website was related to a chain of similar websites known as FMovies and had connections to individuals or operations in Vietnam. History The website was initially known as 9anime. It was founded in 2016 and in 2023 rebranded itself to AniWave. (Some fake clones using the same name have been reported to appear in the aftermath of this). It had several domains, most recently it used a .to domain associated with the Kingdom of Tonga. The site has been targeted by copyright enforcement organizations such as Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment several times, including in 2022 and in 2023. It went offline on 27 August 2024, together with several related websites. On 29 August 2024, Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment confirmed that they have assisted the Vietnamese police to shut down the site and many other connected sites including FMovies. Significance The website was widely popular. In October 2020 TorrentFreak called it "a major player in anime piracy" with over 39 million visits per month. in May 2023 the site described it as a "piracy behemoth" with 214 million visits a month and "huge, successful, and a prime target" for copyright enforcement. In August that year it described the website as "one of the world's largest piracy sites" and "one of... anime piracy juggernauts" although quoting a smaller number of monthly visits (110 million). In 2023 its .to domain was ranked #164 globally, with over 30% of that traffic coming from the United States. A year later, it reported that "it serviced a mind-blowing 170 million visits a month". The Tech Report referred to the site as "one of the world’s most visited movie streaming websites" and praised the website for being free (including ad-free)its width of coverage, as well as various useful features (such as a list of favorites and watchlists), noting that it however lacks options to download content and a dedicated mobile app. Dataconomy called it "a significant player in the anime streaming space". The Escapist noted that it was "important to the anime community", particularly as legal services are not available to everyone. Distractify noted that the site's closure "has left [anime] fans reeling", as legal services suffer from "increasing prices and somewhat limited range of [content]".

Ninth federal electoral district of Michoacán

thumb|Michoacán's ninth district since 2022 thumb|Michoacán's federal electoral districts since 2022 thumb|Michoacán under the 2017–2022 districting scheme The ninth federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 09 de Michoacán) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eleven such districts in the state of Michoacán. It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fifth region. District territory Michoacán lost its 12th district in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the ninth district covers five municipalities in the centre-west of the state: Nuevo Parangaricutiro, Taretan, Tingambato, Uruapan and Ziracuaretiro. The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state's second largest city, Uruapan. Previous districting schemes 2017–2022 Between 2017 and 2022, the district's head town was at Uruapan and it comprised solely that city and its surrounding municipality. 2005–2017 Under the 2005 districting plan, Michoacán lost its 13th district. The ninth district's head town was at Uruapan and it covered six municipalities: Nuevo Parangaricutiro, Taretan, Tingambato, Uruapan and Ziracuaretiro, as in the 2022 plan, plus Gabriel Zamora. The link contains comparative maps of the 2005 and 1996 schemes. 1996–2005 Under the 1996 districting plan, the district's head town was at Uruapan and it covered seven municipalities: Charapan, Paracho, and the five from the 2022 plan: Nuevo Parangaricutiro, Taretan, Tingambato, Uruapan and Ziracuaretiro. 1978–1996 The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13. The ninth district's head town was the city of Apatzingán de la Constitución and it was composed of four municipalities: Apatzingán, La Huacana, Múgica and Parácuaro.

Apportionment +Legend District 1 District 2 District 3 District 4 District 5 District 6 District 7 District 8 District 9 District 10 District 11 1 delegate 2 delegates 3 delegates Thick black lines: State and district boundaries Thin gray lines: County boundaries Dashed black lines: Planned district and state boundaries Dashed red lines: Counties with rotating member apportionment The 1863 West Virginia Constitution established the creation of nine senatorial districts, each sending two senators to the state legislature. Additionally, the constitution called for the creation of two other senatorial districts containing counties in northern Virginia assuming they joined the state. For the House of Delegates, the constitution outlined six delegate districts each sending one or two delegates to the House, with another planned for counties in northern Virginia. Every other county was apportioned one to three delegates. The Senate member count was set to be between eighteen and twenty-two, and between forty-seven and fifty-two for the House of Delegates, depending on how many Virginian counties were absorbed into the state.

Classify 64 teams, the number varies according to the number of teams in each group, being between three and eight clubs per group. The country will be divided into two zones: South Zone (Groups 1 to 8) and North Zone (Groups 9 to 17). Eliminations will be held according to the average obtained by each team, being ordered from best to worst by their percentage throughout the season. As of 2020–21 season, the names of the knockout stages were modified as follows: Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semifinals, Zone Final and Final, this as a consequence of the division of the country into two zones, for so the teams only face clubs from the same region until the final series. Reserve and Development Teams Each season a table is created among those teams that don't have the right to promote, because they are considered as reserve teams for teams that play in Liga MX, Liga de Expansión and Liga Premier or are independent teams that have requested not to participate for the Promotion due to the fact that they are footballers development projects. The ranking order is determined through the "quotient", which is obtained by dividing the points obtained between the disputed matches, being ordered from highest to lowest. Starting this season, the league decided to divide these teams into two regions, as it happens with the promotion play-offs, so in the final phase the teams will only face rivals from their region, until reaching the national final, which will pit the two regional champions of this modality of the league against each other.

Stadium Road travel distances between clubs The distances between football clubs in the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Northeastern Region are approximate and calculated based on the most convenient and shortest practical road routes. These measurements prioritize routes that balance proximity and ease of travel, avoiding too indirect or inconvenient paths despite their shorter distance. By focusing on practical road travel, this chart reflects the real-world journey clubs will undertake for away matches, considering the road infrastructure and conditions in northeastern Thailand. This provides valuable insight into the logistical challenges clubs face during the season and is an essential resource for planning travel for clubs and their supporters. Among the distances calculated, the shortest road journey between clubs is approximately 4 kilometers, marking the trip between Surin City and Surin Khong Chee Mool. Conversely, the longest road journey spans 507 kilometers, between Muang Loei United and Ubon Kruanapat. In terms of total travel distances over the season, Muang Loei United faces the most extensive journey, covering approximately 3,498 kilometers, while Roi Et PB United has the least travel, totaling around 1,754 kilometers. These travel disparities are presented in the accompanying table, offering a detailed breakdown of road distances between each club and providing valuable insights into the logistical demands clubs face in the 2024–25 season.

Gaza Sunbirds

The Gaza Sunbirds are a para-cycling team based in the Gaza Strip. The team was formed in 2020 by Alaa al-Dali and Karim Ali. History Alaa al-Dali became a cyclist at a young age. In early 2018, he qualified to compete at that year's Asian Games, but was struggling to obtain a permit from the Israeli government to leave the Gaza Strip. In March 2018, he attended the March of Return in his cycling gear to "call for [his] right of return as an athlete unable to leave Gaza". While at the protest, he was shot in the leg by an Israeli sniper, shattering his bone. His leg ultimately had to be amputated. While recovering, he met Karim Ali, and over the next year the duo decided to found a para-cycling project. He also adapted a bicycle so he could continue to ride, and began relearning to ride two months after his amputation. The Gaza Sunbirds were officially founded in 2020, and had ten members by the end of the year. By 2023, the group had 20 members and five cycling sessions a week, including a session for teenagers. At one time the group had around 50 members. Due to limited supplies, they were only able to adapt bicycles for riders with lower limb amputations. Most riders do not use prostheses due to the difficulty of obtaining them. The group organized fundraising events to pay for equipment and to raise money for other groups. Some of their group rides were along the coastline or Salah al-Din Road, while others were as long as 55 miles, from the Rafah Border Crossing to the Erez Crossing. Following the inception of the Israel–Hamas war in 2023, the team began to distribute food to Gaza residents using their bicycles. According to the group, as of May 2024 they have distributed "$140,000 worth of aid, 2,050 meal parcels, 4,900 hot meals and hygiene kits to 500 beneficiaries". The group also worked with Sharek Youth Forum to create a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah. The war interrupted the team's hopes of competing at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.

Resilience to Nature's Challenges

Resilience to Nature's Challenges () was one of New Zealand's eleven collaborative research programmes known as National Science Challenges. Running from 2015 to 2024, the focus of Resilience to Nature's Challenges (RNC) research was enhancing New Zealand's resilience to natural hazards such as sea level rise, climate change, wildfire, and volcanoes. Establishment and governance The New Zealand Government agreed in August 2012 to fund National Science Challenges: large multi-year collaborative research programmes that would address important issues in New Zealand's future. The funding criteria were set out in January 2014, with proposals assessed by a Science Board within the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE). thumb|Official launch of Resilience to Nature's Challenges in March 2015; Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce centre After a planning phase in 2014, MBIE approved the Crown Research Institute GNS Science as a host for the project. RNC was launched in March 2015 by Minister for Science and Innovation Steven Joyce, with interim Director Shane Cronin. The Māori name of Resilience to Nature's Challenges translates as (resilience) (challenges) (of the enduring world). RNC was hosted by GNS Science, with twelve other New Zealand research partners: BRANZ, Opus International, Resilient Organisations Ltd, Market Economics Ltd, the University of Auckland, University of Canterbury, University of Otago, Massey University, Lincoln University, Victoria University of Wellington, Scion, and NIWA. The Challenge involved 90 researchers and had an initial four-year allocation of $19.6 million. Research thumb|Resilience to Nature's Challenges Governance Group and science leaders hui, July 2021 RNC was set up around two major themes: Understanding Hazard and Risk (with research programmes on coastal hazards, volcanoes, weather and wildfires, and earthquakes and tsunamis), and Accelerating Resilience (incorporating research on both rural and urban communities, built environments, and Whanake te Kura i Tawhiti Nui—applying traditional Māori knowledge to hazard resilience). In December 2018 two research areas were added: multihazard risks, and resilience in practice.

Mohammad Aburiziq

Mohammad Abdel-Motalib Yousef Aburiziq (; born 1 February 1999), popularly known as Pogba, is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Jordanian Pro League side Al-Salt, on loan from Al-Wehdat, and the Jordan national team. Club career Al-Baqa'a He began his professional career with Al-Baqa'a. Aburiziq was on his way to move to Al-Hussein during the 2022 Jordanian Pro League season, after he had terminated his contract, but Al-Baqa'a appealed the decision when he tore his ACL during the AFC U-23 Asian Cup so that the player would return to the club. Aburiziq was the center of a contractual dispute during his season-long injury break, between his parent club Al Baqa'a, Al-Hussein, and Al-Wehdat, which lasted until the following season. Al-Wehdat Aburiziq signed a 4-year contract with Al-Wehdat in late April 2023. On 21 May 2024, Al-Wehdat manager Ra'fat Ali suspended Aburiziq from team practices, as well as suspend his finances, as a result of failing to meet team practices and take the club's principles into account. Al-Salt (on loan) On 25 July 2024, Aburiziq signed a season-long loan deal with Al-Salt, as a result of Ra'fat Ali suspending him from Al-Wehdat practices. He scored a brace on his league debut against Shabab Al-Ordon in a 2–1 victory. International career Aburiziq was a youth international for Jordan, having represented the Jordanian under-23 team at the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup. He tore his ACL during the tournament, which required him to have a surgery on 6 July 2022. The injury also prevented him from making his potential move to Al-Hussein. On 10 March 2024, Aburiziq was called up to the Jordan national football team for their World Cup qualifying campaign against Pakistan, which he made his debut on March 26 in a 7–0 victory.

2023–2024 Oropouche virus disease outbreak

An outbreak of Oropouche fever began in December 2023. Over 8,000 infections have been reported, including the first outside the Amazon region to which Oropouche virus is endemic. Although most cases have occurred in Brazil, local transmission has also been reported in Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and Cuba. Cases among travelers to the region have been identified in the United States and Europe. As of August 16, two fatalities were reported. These are the first known deaths caused by Oropouche. Cases of vertical transmission to fetuses have been identified, resulting in stillbirths and possibly microcephaly. Virus and epidemiology The causative agent of Oropouche fever, Oropouche orthobunyavirus, was first discovered in the Caribbean nation Trinidad and Tobago. Five years later, it was first detected in Brazil via an infected sloth. Consequently, the disease is also known as "sloth fever". Sloths, in addition to some bird species and non-human primates, are known to serve as natural reservoirs for the virus. Since the 1960s, periodic outbreaks have occurred, albeit only in the Amazon region. Unlike the mosquito-borne dengue or Zika, the Oropouche virus is transmitted by a biting midge, specifically Culicoides paraensis. C. paraensis is also found throughout the United States. Although no other vector has been demonstrated, the virus has been identified in insects such as the Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito. Historically, the disease results in mild symptoms: fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and muscle, joint, or eye pain. Some cases may result in severe neurological damage. No vaccines or treatments exist. Outbreak According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 8000 Oropouche cases were identified from January 1 to August 1, 2024. Although most cases have occurred in Brazil, cases have also been reported in Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and Cuba. The Cuban infections mark the first Oropouche cases beyond the Amazon. As of August 16, two fatalities were reported. These are the first known deaths caused by the disease. In early August 2024, the Pan American Health Organization updated the disease's risk level from moderate to high. On August 16, the CDC issued a health alert for the region. It reported that 21 Americans had contracted the virus after traveling to Cuba. Although three were hospitalized, no deaths were reported. Travel-associated cases have also occurred in Italy, Germany, and Spain. Fetal transmission thumb|Microcephaly, which severely affects brain development, has been indicated in some Oropouche infections. Five Oropouche cases have involved vertical transmission of the virus from pregnant mother to fetus. Brazilian health authorities are investigating the possibility of stillborns and birth defects that the disease may have caused. In the state of Pará, the Evandro Chagas Institute identified antibodies against Oropouche in four newborns with microcephaly: a birth defect characterized by an abnormally small head. However, a causal relationship has not been confirmed. Viruses closely related to Oropouche—such as Akabane virus—are known to induce birth defects or stillborns in livestock. Causes Climate change, deforestation, and urbanization have been suggested as possible contributing factors to the Oropouche outbreak. The current economic crisis in Cuba—which has halted mosquito control efforts and forced many Cubans to sleep with open windows due to power outages—has also been cited. It has been suggested that the current outbreak is due to a more pathogenic Oropouche strain: genetic analysis has identified it as a reassortment of strains previously identified in Peru and Columbia. It has also been suggested that the virus simply appears more pathogenic due to the widespread presence of immunity against Oropouche in the Amazon region.

Big Indian (Utah)

Big Indian is a summit in San Juan County, Utah, United States. Description Big Indian is situated north-northeast of the Monument Valley Tribal Park Visitor Center, on Navajo Nation land. It is an iconic landform of Monument Valley and can be seen from Highway 163. Precipitation runoff from this landform's slopes drains into the San Juan River drainage basin. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the surrounding terrain in 0.25 mile (0.4 km). The nearest higher summit is Sentinel Mesa, to the southwest. This landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1964 by the United States Board on Geographic Names. It is so named because the butte resembles the face of a native American looking south-southeast into the valley.Monument Valley, City of Aztec, aztecnm.com, Retrieved 2024-08-28. "Big Chief" and "Big Indian Butte" were alternate names that were ultimately rejected.United States Board on Geographic Names, Decisions on Geographic Names in the United States, Decision List No. 6403, 1965, page 45. Geology Big Indian is composed of two principal strata. The bottom layer is slope-forming Organ Rock Shale underlaying cliff-forming De Chelly Sandstone. The rock was deposited during the Permian period. The buttes and mesas of Monument Valley are the result of the Organ Rock Shale being more easily eroded than the overlaying sandstone.Monument Valley, Arizona, Arizona Geological Survey, Retrieved 2024-08-24. Climate Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons to visit Big Indian. According to the Köppen climate classification system, it is located in a semi-arid climate zone with cold winters and hot summers. Summers average 54 days above annually, and highs rarely exceed . Summer nights are comfortably cool, and temperatures drop quickly after sunset. Winters are cold, but daytime highs are usually above freezing. Winter temperatures below are uncommon, though possible. This desert climate receives less than of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.Climate Summary for Kayenta, Arizona Gallery See also List of appearances of Monument Valley in the media References External links Weather: Big Indian Category:Colorado Plateau Category:Landforms of San Juan County, Utah Category:North American 1000 m summits Category:Geography of the Navajo Nation Category:Sandstone formations of the United States

Sneja Gunew

Sneja Marina Gunew (15 December 1946 – 8 January 2024), FRSC, was an Australian-Canadian literary theorist whose focus lay on feminism, postcolonial studies and multiculturalism. She taught in England, Australia, and Canada. From 1995 to her retirement in 2014 she was Professor of English and Director of the Centre for Women's and Gender Studies at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver. Her scholarly research into multicultural (non-Anglo-Celtic) writers in Australia and Canada, particularly women writers, as well as her engagement with multicultural policy-making in Australia, brought these groups to attention in both countries. Life and education Gunew was born in Tübingen, Germany, to a German mother and a Bulgarian father. The family relocated in 1950 to Melbourne, Australia, under the auspices of the International Refugee Organization. A speaker and reader of German from childhood, she turned to English, obtaining a BA (Hons) from the University of Melbourne, an MA from the University of Toronto, Canada, and a PhD from the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, all in English literature. Career She taught in literature and women's studies in Australia from 1972, first at the universities of Newcastle and Melbourne, and then from 1979 at Deakin University (Geelong). In 1993 she took up a position at the University of Victoria, Canada, and in 1995 she became Professor of English and Women's Studies at UBC. She was Director of the Centre for Research in Women’s and Gender Studies (2002-2007), North American editor of Feminist Theory (Sage; 2006-2010), and Associate Principal of the College for Interdisciplinary Studies, UBC (2008-2011). She retired as Professor Emerita in 2014 from the UBC Department of English Language and Literatures. Australia Significant publications began when she was appointed to Deakin University in 1979 and worked on courses in Women’s Studies and Narrative. She introduced the terms migration writing and migrant literatures, focusing on the experiences and writings of postwar immigrants to Australia from countries other than the usual sources of migrants: UK and Ireland. These interests converged in her much reprinted article, ”Migrant Women Writers: Who's on Whose Margins?”(originally published in Meanjin, 42.1, March 1982-83, pp. 16–26) which noted that the settler-colonial category of “Australian literature” overlooked such work. Looking at migrant women’s writing is a way of contesting received notions of the literary. Such writing speaks from positions which interrogate socio-cultural conventions, notions of linguistic competence, and gender certainties. Migrant, and women’s and migrant women’s, writing are the “excess” of Anglo-Celtic writing, a luxury which is an index of – what? Civilized skepticism? The mining rights to an unknown territory? New histories for new subjects? In 1984, she was a panelist with Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Spivak at an early landmark postcolonial conference, “Europe and its Others,” at the University of Essex. Edward Said, author of Orientalism (1978), a founding figure of post-colonial theory, was in the audience. In a 1986 interview with Spivak, she asks “[Why] are other writers like [Antigone] Kefala, Ania Walwicz, Rosa Cappiello, etc., not seen as part of these [Australian] cultural productions, why aren't they given a full measure of cultural franchise?” She and others took action to have non-Anglo-Celtic writers acknowledged as contributing to the national literature. In 1992, she compiled with others A Bibliography of Australian Multicultural Writers and co-edited Striking Chords: Multicultural Literary Interpretations, the first collection of critical essays to deal with ethnic minority writings in the Australian context. She noted that multicultural writers are often “fungible,” like money, in the sense that any one will do: those that appear in early national anthologies are exchanged for new ones as a demonstration of tolerance, with none “sticking” as part of the national literature nor arriving in the canon. Her positioning begins with the idea of the “cultural hybridity of all nation-states” that leads to a “productive opening up into difference.” For her, the ostensibly all-inclusive “liberal pluralist notion of cultural diversity” cannot recognize or discuss “incommensurable differences,” which leads to the inability to interrogate any eruption of right-wing “politics of exclusion.” She turns to psychoanalysis to remind readers that “we do have an unconscious, whose mysterious workings are not fully available to our conscious minds, and that our unsound impulses cannot simply be vacuumed with a morally attuned feminist Hoover” At Deakin University, she set up the first library collection of ethnic minority writings in Australia. Her first book, Framing Marginality: Multicultural Literary Studies (1994) was an attempt to find theoretical frameworks and concepts for interpreting these texts—a mix of postmodernist and psychoanalytic criticism. She also edited two collections that publicized Australian feminist work to an international readership as well as ensuring this included the work of Australian First Nations scholar Jackie Huggins. As a member of the Australia Council for the Arts, the main funding body for the arts in Australia (1990–93), she set up and chaired the Multicultural Advisory Committee. In addition she was involved in creating appropriate policies relating to multicultural arts at a federal and state level as part of her membership on several committees working towards a multicultural Australia. Canada In Canada she worked on comparative multiculturalisms and diasporic literatures and their intersections with national and global cultural formations. Recent publications dealt with multilingual affect, looking to widen the terminology of affect studies to include “emotion terms” in languages other than English. She writes: What is very much a question for me at the moment is that if you are constructed in one particular kind of language, what kinds of violence does it do to your subjectivity if one then has to move into another language, and suppress whatever selves or subjectivities were constructed by the first? And of course, some people have to pass through this process several times. Her final word on how to navigate literary-critical problems is “Hurrah for anything that puts into question certain familiar hegemonic monocultural assumptions.” Personal life Gunew was married to the British-Canadian artist Terence Greer (24 September 1929 – 5 July 2020).

San Giovanni in Zoccoli, Viterbo

thumb San Giovanni in Zoccoli (St John in Sandals) is an Romanesque and Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church located in Via Mazzini #8 in Viterbo in the Region of Lazio, Italy. History Little documentation exists about the foundation of the church. Some reports mention a church bell damaged by lightning bore a data of 1037. Others claim a 823 document from the monastery of Monte Amiata mentions a San Giovanni in Sonsa or Sconcio, which may refer to this church. The church is apparently dedicated to St John the Evangelist, and thus two eagles flank the rose-window on the facade. The church underwent refurbishment in 1880 and after the allied aerial bombardment of Viterbo in 1944; these have left the church stripped of the former baroque decoration. During the earlier refurbishment, Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle helped restore the fresco above the portal of the facade. The facade has a round rose window surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists, and additional two eagles. Peculiarly, the facade is stabilized by buttresses connected to the house in front. The lunette of the portal, defined by a frame of stars and a depiction of the Evangelist. The interior layout has on central nave, flanked by Romanesque columns with decorated capitals, and two side aisles, all leading to semicircular Romanesque apses. There is not transept. The roof is wooden. In the apse of the right nave is a polyptych (1441) by Francesco d’Antonio Zacchi. The center panel depicts an Enthroned Madonna and Child between Saints (from left to right) Peter, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist and Paul. In the left lateral panel from to bottom, are depicted Archangel Gabriel, Saints Francis, Leonardo, and Lucia; on the right, a Virgin of the Annunciation, Saints Antony Abbot, Helena and Catherine of Alexandria. In the medals of the tympani, are depicted the Trinity and then the Four Evangelists. At the base, are various scenes, some from stories or legends of the life of John the Evangelist: St George and the dragon, Domitian orders St John the Evangelist placed in vat of boiling oil, St John resurrects Drusiana, St John changed twigs to pebbles of gold and precious stones, St John's prayer Collapses the temple of Diana, St John drinks poison and remains unscathed, and the Adoration of the Wise Men. In the central apse, there thin stained glass window depicting St John the Evangelist. Off the left nave is a chapel with a fresco of the Madonna and Child, detached from a wall of a house of Viterbo, as well as tombstones from churches in town.Entry on Church in Viterbo Arte e Citta, San Giovanni in Zoccoli Church; translated by Danielle Maddock, University of Nevada, Reno e Alicia Bertram University of New Mexico, Albuquerque.

The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World

The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World is a 2024 history book by William Dalrymple. It discusses the ways in which India's ideas and influences spread throughout and shaped Eurasia. Overview The book argues that the primary route connecting Eurasia from 250 BC to 1200 AD was a route going through India referred to in the book as the "Golden Road"; this route facilitated an Indian sphere of influence referred to as the Indosphere. India's outward influence began with the west coast of India interacting with the outside world as far west as the Roman Empire; the fall of Rome in the 5th and 6th centuries then forced Indian traders to turn their attention eastward, resulting in significant influence upon Southeast Asia. By the 7th century, Buddhism had penetrated China, with the reign of Wu Zetian resulting in a brief Indianization of the royal court and a general explosion of learning from India. And by the 13th century, Indian mathematical and astronomical ideas had gone through the Arab world and reached Europe, but in the same century, conquests put an end to the heretofore peaceful expansion of Indian influence. Mongol conquests in Eurasia ended India's centrality by paving the way for the Silk Road, giving China greater prominence as it thus gained access to the Mediterranean, while Muslim armies temporarily interrupted trade routes to India's west and took over North India. Dalrymple was inspired to write the book after a visit to Angkor Wat, the largest Hindu temple in the world. He spent five years travelling throughout the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia to do research for the book.

Jacob Caetano

João Jacob "Monstro Imortal" Caetano (4 April 1941 – 1977)Jacob Caetano. ATD. 2023. was an Angolan militant and politician who was a participant in the Angolan War of Independence and the Angolan Civil War. During his military career, he was promoted to the post of general and was vice-commander of the general staff of the People's Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) and commander of the 9th Brigade of Mobilized Marines of the Special Forces of FAPLA. During his political career, he was a member of the Central Committee of the Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA) and a member of the leadership of the orthodox Communist Nitista-Fractionalist faction. Biography Caetano was born on 4 April 1941 in the small town of Piri, to a peasant family from the municipality of Dembos, currently in Bengo province.Restos mortais de vítimas de conflitos sepultados. Jornal de Angola. 14 June 2022. During the War for Independence, Caetano participated in numerous confrontation with the colonial Portuguese troops and militants from the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA). He was sent by the MPLA to Congo-Kinshasa to receive training in 1962. While there, he also became a member of the MPLA's football team.Equipa de futebol do EPLA no Mbinza. ATD. Leopoldville, 1962. He became a part of the first group of militants of the People's Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola (EPLA; which afterwards became FAPLA), taking leadership positions and commanding detachments of the armed wing of the MPLA. He was one of the first people who identified Mobutu Sese Seko as an adversary of the MPLA. Due to this, he was arrested by the police of Congo-Kinshasa, but was able to escape and went to Congo-Brazavile. From 1964 onward, he was a part of the MPLA's leadership, participating in the military/political meetings of the party in their headquarters in exile in Brazzaville.Conferência de Quadros do MPLA. ATD. 1964.Acta da Reunião plenária do Comité Director. ATD. 1966. He participated in reconnaissance units in the north of Angola in 1963Relatório do EPLA sobre Esquadrão Vermelho. ATD. 1963. and in military operations in Cabinda in 1965.Base das Pacaças (MPLA) - grupo de guerrilheiros. ATD. 1965. He commanded a guerrilla squadron named after Cuban revolutionary Camilo Cienfuegos. In 1966, the Cienfuegos Squadron, under his command, was able to establish itself militarily in the province of Luanda, which became known as one of the most crucial and most successful operations by FAPLA/EPLA before the 1970s. After the feat, Caetano became one of the main commanders of the 1st Military Police Region (Luanda, Dembos e Norte Angolano) of the MPLA/EPLA. He came to be recognized by the soldiers for his courage and capacity for combat, he survived and left victorious after participating in the ambushes by the armed wing of the FNLA the Exército de Libertação Nacional de Angola (ELNA). They gave him the nickname "Monstro Imortal" (Portuguese for "Immortal Monster", given due to his almost seemingly mythical invincibility). During the preparations for the 1st Congress of the MPLA, he was invited to coordinate plenary sessions for the party in Zambia in 1971Reunião Plenária do Comité Director do MPLA. ATD. 27 de setembro de 1971 and for training sessions as a military official in Czechoslovakia (Military Academy of Brno). In 1972, he became a member of the delegation for negotiations in Kinshasa with the FNLA, along with Agostinho Neto and Lúcio Lara.Lista da delegação do MPLA para acordos com FNLA. ATD. 1972. During this period, however, the MPLA went through an intense internal political dispute that had turned into, between 1972 and 1974, the Active Revolt and the Eastern Revolt. The disputes were instigated by anti-colonial hard-liners in Brazzaville, in 1972, and had created conspiratorial themes that would dominate the direction of the party during the height of the dispute. Large portions of the party had identified the recent and constant military defeats as having emanated from a purported "white-mestico elite", and who had identified as the main culprits Lúcio Lara, his wife Ruth Lara, Iko Carreira, and Agostinho Neto's wife, Maria Eugénia Neto. The rebels ultimately captured Lúcio Lara, who was the number 2 of the party, in an operation carried out by Caetano, and who had covert support from José Eduardo dos Santos, who had already aspired to take command of the party and establish movement leaders who were entirely non-white. The rebellion gave command of the MPLA to Santos, but was put down rapidly by Agostinho Neto, who later gave amnesty to those involved, including Caetano. On 25 April 1974, the Carnation Revolution overthrew the regime of António Salazar and hastened the decolonization of the Portuguese colonies in Africa. On 1 August, the EPLA became FAPLA. With the creation of the new armed forces, Caetano assumed command posts in the Northern Front, which included the 1st and 2nd Military Police Regions (including Cabinda). On 8 November 1974, he became part of the "delegation of 26" of the party, led by Lara, and had the historic first visit of a MPLA delegation that was officially received in Luanda. The arrival of Lara's delegation, that also had Caetano, was received very enthusiastically by a crowd of militants, whom broke the barriers and went onto the runway at Luanda's Quatro de Fevereiro Airport as their plane arrived. The sight of Lara had served to prepare them for when Agostinho Neto made his first visit to Luanda after the Carnation Revolution. This visit contributed to the MPLA rapidly gaining power in Luanda.Primeira delegação chegou há 43 anos. Jornal de Angola. 9 de novembro de 2017. At the signing of the Alvor Agreement, which established the parameters of the partition of power during the process of independence for Angola, Caetano was named by the MPLA to compose the military hierarchy of the transitional government, keeping with one of the Area Commands, together with Pedro Timóteo "Barreiro" Kiakanwa (FNLA) and "Edmundo Rocha" Sabino Sandele (UNITA).1 926 - Os membros do Governo de Transição. Cavaleiros do Norte/BCAV. 8423. 1 February 2014. After March 1975, the anti-colonial war transformed into a civil war between the MPLA, the FNLA, and the União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola (UNITA). Angola's independence was declared by the MPLA on 11 November 1975. Agostinho Neto thus became president of the People's Republic of Angola. With the opening of general, Caetano became one of the vice-commanders of the General State Staff of FAPLA. In November 1975, he was sent to Porto Amboim, maintaining direct contact with President Agostinho Neto in relation to the collapse of the southern and central fronts that had been under the pressure of South African and UNITA troops. The situation grew to include Cuban military intervention, that came as assistance to Caetano's troops. Afterwards, he commanded the 9th Brigade of Mobilized Marines of the Special Forces of FAPLA, who were the elite defense forces in Luanda. He strongly contributed to the formation of class consciousness in FAPLA, creating the framework for political education in the branches of the military. Politically, Caetano aligned more with Nito Alves, with whom was his immediate superior in the 1st Military Police Region during the 1960s and 1970s, along with being from the same hometown of Dembos. Caetano became one of the leaders of an orthodox communist opposition group called the Fraccionist-Nitista faction, that proclaimed that Angola urgently needed to make a transition to the Soviet communist model of governance. With these positions, the opposition group became one of Agostinho Neto's fiercest critics and of his position towards a moderate transition to socialism/communism through a nationalist route. Along with this, the group called for the continuance of class struggle that would take the form of debate against a purported "white-mestico" leadership and elite. At the beginning of 1977, Caetano joined in on plans for a coup d'état by the Nitista faction, being one of the key figures of the conspiracy, along with Nito Alves, José Jacinto Van-Dúnem, Sita Valles, David Minerva Machado, Arsénio Totó Sihanouk, Luís dos Passos, and Eduardo Ernesto Bakalof. In planning for action, he was attached to the 9th Brigade with the role of shock troops during the coup attempt. Regardless, he had been included in the committee of the Central Committee of the MPLA to investigate the activities of the Nitistas. He would, however, regularly inform Alves about the actions and intentions of the government. His membership in the faction was kept hidden entirely. He sought to keep this secrecy and abstained from making declarations and public meetings, only appearing in important, clandestine meetings. On 21 May, Alves and Van-Dúnem were expelled from the MPLA. Days after, on 23 May, a meeting of the 9th Brigade required the reintegration of Nitista directors in the party and the Central Committee. On 24 May, Alves held the last secret meeting. The plan had also included the planned assassinations of Neto, Lara, Carreira, Saíde Mingas, and Lopo do Nascimento. The following day, Alves had a separate meeting with Caetano, who would have been named as Minister of Defense in a hypothetical Fraccionist-Nitista government. The coup attempt began on the morning of 27 May. Shaded vehicles from the 9th Brigade and a protest of the residents of the Sambizanga neighbourhood of Luanda were signals to initiate the coup. Going by the plan, the Nitistas occupied the Cadeia de São Paulo prison and Rádio Nacional de Angola's station. Various prominent figures in Neto's government were taken hostage. Neto, Nascimento, Lara, and Carreira, however, were not found. Angola's intelligence agency, the Directory of Information and Security of Angola (DISA) and the Cuban troops became involved in skirmishes and confrontations to dispel the rebellion. The Nitista leaders attempted to hide in Dembos, but DISA and the Cuban troops pursued them. Caetano was one of the first to be captured. The exact date and the circumstances of his death are not known, but he is presumed to have died in Luanda in 1977.

Conquest of Évora

The Conquest of Évora in 1165 was an episode of the Reconquista launched by Gerald the Fearless, who conquered the city from the Muslims during the night with a contingent of soldiers. Évora was then handed over to the Afonso I of Portugal and definitively integrated into his Kingdom. Background The conquest of the important port city of Alcácer do Sal in 1158, by the king of Portugal made the occupation of the interior Alentejo possible, if not inevitable.Alexandre Herculano: História de Portugal, volume I, 1846, p. 402. Évora was an important city in the west of the Iberian Peninsula and was taken by the Portuguese shortly afterwards. However, the Almohads reconquered it in 1161, following the Battle of Alcácer do Sal, together with all the conquests south of the Tagus except Alcácer do Sal.Alexandre Herculano: História de Portugal, volume I, 1846, p. 397. On November 30, 1162, a group of knight-villeins from Santarém conquered Beja during the night, in the same way that Afonso I had conquered Santarém in 1147. Gerald the Fearless suffered the displeasure of the king Afonso I due to violent crimes, therefore fled from justice, gathered a group of marginal or outlaw warriors around him and gave himself up to a life of rustling cattle, villages and Muslim castles on the Alentejo plain, which would eventually allow him to obtain a royal pardon.Samuel A. Dunham: The History of Spain and Portugal, Volume 3, 1832, pp. 184-185. Having on one occasion observed that Évora was poorly defended, the Fearless convinced his soldiers to risk conquering the city through a surprise attack. The Conquest thumb|Effigy of Gerald the Fearless in Évora's Cathedral. One night in September or October 1165, Gerald and his men seized a watchtower located on a hill near Évora and killed the sentry, without the city's garrison noticing anything. A detachment then hid near the city, while another approached the gates to provoke the garrison. The alarm was raised and a large contingent of Muslim troops quickly set out in their pursuit. The men were ambushed, but they climbed the doors while the garrison was outside and conquered the city, with many residents dying in the action. The Muslim forces later returned, upon realizing that the city was now in the hands of the Portuguese. They still tried to recover it, however, in vain; some died in action and abandoned it. Aftermath Gerald handed the city over to Afonso I of Portugal in exchange for money and the king not only forgave him but also appointed him as alcaide of Évora. The following year, a new Order of knights settled in Évora to help defend the city but, as it was not authorized by the Pope, they were integrated into the Order of Calatrava, which thus entered Portugal.H. V. Livermore: A History Of Portugal, Cambridge University Press, 1947, p. 99. In 1176, Afonso I donated the town of Coruche to this Order, so that they could build a castle there to protect the road that connected Santarém to Évora. thumb|Cross of the Order of Calatrava The city was besieged in 1180 by an Almohad army commanded by Mohammed Ibn Iusuf Ibn Wammudin, while another detachment destroyed Coruche.Carlos Selvagem: Portugal Militar: Compêndio de História Militar e Naval de Portugal Desde as Origens do Estado Portucalense Até o Fim da Dinastia de Bragança, 1931, p. 57. Évora, however, resisted the incursion and at the beginning of the following year the Muslims were forced to abandon the siege. When the Almohad Caliph invaded Portugal in 1191 at the head of a huge army, all Portuguese conquests south of the Tagus were lost with the exception of Évora, which remained a Christian enclave surrounded by Muslim territory.Barroca, Mário Jorge (2006). "Portugal". In Alan V. Murray (ed.). The Crusades: An Encyclopedia. pp. 979–984. Alentejo would only be definitively conquered between 1217 and 1238.

Rezin Hammond

Colonel Rezin Hammond (1745–1809) was a United States revolutionary patriot and politician from Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He represented his county as a delegate at the Maryland Convention and later in the Maryland House of Delegates. Hammond served as a Colonel in the Anne Arundel County Militia during the American Revolution, and was known for his radical revolutionary views. He advocated publicly for extending voting privileges to all free men, regardless of their landholdings. Despite his progressive stance on voting rights, Hammond was a wealthy plantation owner who owned slaves. Biography left|thumb|Howard's Adventure, childhood home of Rezin Hammond in Gambrills, Maryland Rezin Hammond was born into a politically influential family at Howard's Adventure, their country home near Gambrills, Maryland. He was one of nine children born to Major Philip Hammond (1697–1760) and Rachel Brice Hammond (1711–1786). His maternal grandfather, John Brice Jr., was one of Maryland's largest landowners, and Rezin was named after his paternal uncle. He would grow to be very close with his brother Mathias Hammond (1740–1786). Following in his father's footsteps, Hammond became a planter and politician, representing the fourth generation of his family to enter politics. He would be elected to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 9th sessions of the Maryland Conventions, and took part in Maryland's constitutional convention. Hammond later served in the Maryland House of Delegates for Anne Arundel County before resigning during the third session. As a politician, he was known for his opposition to English power and his advocacy for democratic reforms. From 1783 to 1785, he served as the commissioner of tax. Revolutionary activities thumb|Rendering of the Burning of the Peggy Stewart by Francis Blackwell Mayer Rezin Hammond, along with his brother Mathias, became deeply involved in radical revolutionary politics. He served in the Anne Arundel County Militia and on the Annapolis Committee of Safety and Committee of Correspondence.https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/923ea801-52ff-4a80-ad5b-e7f01f8de211 An early advocate for independence, Hammond strongly opposed British taxation. In 1774, the Hammond brothers led Anne Arundel County radicals in denouncing the owners of the Peggy Stewart for violating the boycott on tea imports following the Tea Act of 1773. Their efforts culminated in a public meeting that led to the burning of the ship and its contents in Annapolis harbor. Hammond personally boarded the ship to set it alight. Hammond was appointed lieutenant colonel for the Severn Battalion in 1776, and rose to the rank of colonel by 1795. He actively fought against the British during the Revolutionary War, and was highly regarded among Maryland revolutionaries: Colonel Edward Gaither of the Elk Ridge battalion bequeathed Hammond a horse and a sword in his will.The founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, Maryland. A genealogical and biographical review from wills, deeds He was described as leading a "little warrior band" during the Revolutionary War, and had a sincere attachment to American independence. At the Maryland Convention, Hammond led a radical faction alongside John Hall, known as the Hall-Hammond faction. They advocated for voting rights for all free taxpayers, regardless of property holdings.An American's first essay, columns 1093 & 1094. A form of government proposed for the consideration of the citizens of Anne Arundel County. MSA SC 2221-4-2 June 1776. Maryland Gazette. This stance was controversial, especially given Hammond's status as heir to one of Maryland's largest landowners.Ronald Hoffman, A Spirit of Dissension: Economics, Politics, and the Revolution in Maryland (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1973) On August 15, 1776, an essay titled "Watchman" appeared in the Maryland Gazette arguing for universal male suffrage, which has been attributed to Hammond. The essay, and the popular support behind it, had a significant impact on the convention. While property holdings remained a prerequisite for voting, the requirement was lowered and the holding of multiple offices was prohibited. Assassination attempt On April 25, 1791, Hammond survived an assassination attempt by Elijah Gaither, who had come to Hammond's home with two pistols and a gun. One of Hammond's slaves saved his life during the assault, and the assailant fled. Governor of Maryland John Eager Howard issued a proclamation in the Maryland Gazette for Gaither's apprehension, and Hammond offered a substantial reward of four hundred dollars for his capture. Slave holdings Despite his progressive views on voting rights, Hammond was a substantial slaveholder, who owned and used slaves to tend his vast property holdings. He inherited 12 slaves from his father's estate in 1760, which increased to 72 slaves in 1783, and by 1798, he had become the second-largest slaveholder in the county. In 1794, he sent two slaves named Ben and Will to work several months at the Northampton Iron Works to "improve their obedience" and remove them from their connections. He is known to have freed several slaves during his lifetime, among them "Negro Moses" who would later be employed at the Maryland State House. At the time of Hammond's death, he owned 166 slaves, over 14,000 acres of property, and a law library. Although he provided for the manumission of his slaves in his will, this request was not honored by his heirs, and it took some of his former slaves decades to win their freedom. thumb|329x329px|Burleigh Manor pictured in 1936 Burleigh manor In the late 1790s and early 1800s, Hammond built Burleigh Manor, also known as "Hammonds Inheritance" in Ellicott City, Howard County, Maryland. The property, built on a 2,300-acre (930 ha) estate, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Maryland. The house is fifteen miles west of Baltimore, Maryland. According to local folklore, the house was built for a prospective bride and family, which never took up residence. Hammond would share the home with his nephews and their families. Death Hammond never married, and died on September 1, 1809, at the age of 65. He was buried in the family plot at Howard's Adventure. His obituary characterized him as an "inflexible friend" and "upright citizen". His substantial property holdings were distributed among his nephews, Denton Hammond and Matthias Hammond, and provisions were made for thirty-two of his former slaves in his will, which included land, weapons, horses and tools.

Milo C. Bushnell

Milo Cornelius Bushnell (May 2, 1824December 11, 1897) was an American farmer, Republican politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He served two terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Winnebago County during the 1867 and 1868 terms. He was among the earliest American settlers at Omro, Wisconsin, and served as chairman of the Winnebago County board of supervisors during 1872 and 1873. His name was often abbreviated as Wisconsin pioneer Milo C. Bushnell was born May 2, 1824, in the town of Waitsfield, Vermont. He was raised and educated there, working on his father's farm until about age 20. At that age, he went to work on another farm for pay; after accumulating $75 in savings, he went west to Illinois. After teaching school there for $11 per month over the winter, he went north into the Wisconsin Territory in 1846, and settled in the town of Omro, Wisconsin. He became the first person to purchase land in the town of Omro, buying 120 acres at $1.25 per acre from the government. The land had a significant prairie stretch and did not require much clearing of trees; within a year, Bushnell had 43 acres of fenced land and 15 acres of wheat. In 1849, he built a house on the land—it was the second frame house erected in Omro, and the first to receive a coat of paint. After eight years of improvements, he sold his farm for a profit in 1854, and moved to a new farm. There, he built a new house, and resided until 1866, when he sold again. After selling his second farm, he bought a 3-acre property in the village of Omro, where he raised apples and cultivated a plant nursery. His apples and apple trees became the primary source of his income for much of the rest of his life. Political career Bushnell identified with the Whig Party when he first came to Wisconsin, but quickly became a staunch Republican when that party was established in 1854. As a Whig, he was elected assessor of Omro township in 1848, and was elected chairman of the town board in 1849, serving as an ex officio member of the county board. During the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, he was appointed U.S. assessor of internal revenue for the western half of Winnebago County, and continued holding the office under president Andrew Johnson, serving seven years. In 1866, he was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in what was then Winnebago County's 3rd Assembly district. The district at that time comprised roughly the southwest quarter of Winnebago County. During his first term in the Assembly, he simultaneously held the offices of state representative, federal revenue assessor, and town chairman. After winning his second term in the Assembly, he resigned as federal revenue assessor, but was also elected to the local school board. He ultimately served fifteen years on the county board, and was elected chairman of the county board in May 1872, serving until November 1873. He served 27 years on the school board, resigning in the mid-1890s, when he largely retired from public life. Personal life and family Milo Bushnell was the second of five children born to Jedidiah Bushnell and his wife Abigail ( Taylor). When he was first getting established in Wisconsin, Bushnell was still unmarried. His widowed sister Cornelia came to live with him in the late 1840s, to take care of his housekeeping, and ultimately recommended he get married. He returned to Vermont in 1851, where he met Marcy Goss Taylor. They married on September 18 of that year. They returned to Omro, but Marcy died just six months later, in April 1852. In 1853, Bushnell married for a second time, this time to Mary Saloma Bidwell, of St. Lawrence County, New York. Together they had five children, but two died in infancy and one other died in childhood. Mary died in 1866, after 13 years of marriage. Bushnell married for a third and final time in 1867, to Mrs. Mary Jane Shafer ( Bradish). He had no further children with his third wife, but became a step-father to her daughter, Josephine. Milo C. Bushnell died at his home in Omro on December 11, 1897, after a brief illness. Only one of his biological children survived him, his daughter Linnie.

Københavns Hørkræmmerlaug

thumb|The front page of the royal charter from 1722. Københavns Hørkræmmerlaug was one of five merchant's guilds in Copenhagen, Denmark. It organized citizens with citizenship (borgerskab) as hørkræmmer, a tyoe of retailer with license to deal in a wide range of specified products. History Københavns Hørkræmmerlaug first royal charter was granted by Frederick IV in 1722. The hørkræmmer shops were typically located close to the city gates or the city's principal marketplaces. In 1742, Københavns Hørkræmmerlaug acquired a 20-year monopoly on trade with Iceland. In 1758, it was discontinued due to the guild's harsh treatment of the Icelandic population. Membership Citizenship as a hørkrlmmer required that the candidate were 25 years old and had been an apprentice for seven years. The latter requirement did not apply for sons of a hørkræmmer who could become a hørkræmmersvend (trained employee of a hørkræmmer) from the age of 18 provided that they had worked in their father's shop. Hørkræmmer shops were lixensed to deal in a wide range of products. These included flax, hampe, hobs, bar iron, untreated steel, tar, birch, whale oil, salt, salted meet, salted and cured fish, masonry heaters, coal, Russian leather and wheetstones.

Battle of Palmela

The Battle of Palmela, which took place in 1165, was an armed encounter during the Reconquista between King Afonso I of Portugal and the Muslim governor of Badajoz, who was defeated at the time. History In 1158, the king of Portugal conquered the important port city of Alcácer do Sal and after this city fell into his hands, numerous other villages in the Alentejo surrendered or were conquered. All of these positions were reconquered by the Almohads after the Battle of Alcácer do Sal in 1161, except for Alcácer, which remained in Catholic hands.Alexandre Herculano: História de Portugal, I, 1846, p. 397. On February 21, 1165, Afonso I conquered the castle of Sesimbra after realizing that the fortification was poorly defended.Manuel Sílvio Alves Conde: Sesimbra, Sobre a Costa do Mar (Séculos XII-XIII) in ARQUIPÉLAGO • HISTÓRIA, 2ª série, VII (2003), p. 252.José Augusto Oliveria: "Vigiar o Tejo, Vigiar o Mar: A Definição dos Concelhos de Almada e Sesimbra" in Da Conquista de Lisboa à Conquista de Alcácer 1147-1217, Edições Colibri, 2019, p. 291. The Almohad governor of Badajoz, the largest and most powerful Muslim city in the west of the peninsula, as soon as he learned of what had happened, left for the region to reconquer the castle with a large detachment of soldiers, including knights and pawns.Samuel A. Dunham: The History of Spain and Portugal, Volume 3, 1832, pp. 184. However, the Muslims advanced in poor order.

Castle Rock (San Juan County, Utah)

Castle Rock is a summit in San Juan County, Utah, United States. Description Castle Rock is situated north-northeast of the Monument Valley Tribal Park Visitor Center, on Navajo Nation land. It is an iconic landform of Monument Valley and can be seen from Highway 163. Precipitation runoff from this landform's slopes drains into the San Juan River drainage basin. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the surrounding terrain in 0.25 mile (0.4 km). This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. It is so named because the butte resembles the silhouette of a castle.Monument Valley, City of Aztec, aztecnm.com, Retrieved 2024-08-28.

Geology Castle Rock is composed of three principal strata. The bottom layer is slope-forming Organ Rock Shale, the next stratum is cliff-forming De Chelly Sandstone, and the upper layer is Moenkopi Formation. The rock ranges in age from Permian at the bottom to Triassic at the top. The buttes and mesas of Monument Valley are the result of the Organ Rock Shale being more easily eroded than the overlaying sandstone.Monument Valley, Arizona, Arizona Geological Survey, Retrieved 2024-08-24.

Embassy of the Philippines, Helsinki

The Embassy of the Philippines in Helsinki was the diplomatic mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the Republic of Finland. Opened in 2009, it was located on Keskuskatu in central Helsinki, across from the flagship Stockmann department store. Closed in 2012 due to a reduction in the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide during the presidency of Benigno Aquino III, the mission is scheduled to reopen in 2024. History Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Finland were established on July 14, 1955, although a resident mission would not open until much later. Relations were initially conducted through the Philippine Embassy in London, with President Ramon Magsaysay appointing León María Guerrero III as non-resident ambassador to Finland. Jurisdiction over Finland would later pass between various missions in Europe, including the embassies in Bonn, Moscow, and Stockholm. Deepening relations, especially economic ties, between the Philippines and Finland would lead to the opening of the Embassy on November 2, 2009, during the presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, alongside resident missions also opening that year in Ireland, Poland, and Portugal. It would take over responsibility for conducting relations with Finland from the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm ten days later, and consular services would later be offered starting on April 12, 2010, with the opening of the Embassy's consular section. Expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the Arroyo presidency was not without controversy: in 2010, Senator Franklin Drilon questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide. This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, Benigno Aquino III, and ultimately to the closure of the embassies in Finland and Sweden on October 31, 2012, with both countries being placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in Oslo, and services in Finland provided through an honorary consulate in Helsinki. Finland was then later placed under the jurisdiction of the reopened Philippine Embassy in Stockholm on May 15, 2020, and a second honorary consulate, replacing the first one, opened in Espoo two months later on July 16, 2020. On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Senator Loren Legarda announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024. Spurred in part by the reopening of the Finnish Embassy in Manila in 2020, this was reaffirmed by Vice President Sara Duterte in October 2023, and some time thereafter the DFA itself confirmed that it was undertaking final preparations for the reopening of a resident Philippine mission in Finland in 2024. Staff and activities The Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was headed by Ambassador Maria Angelina M. Sta. Catalina, the Philippines' first (and so far, only) resident ambassador to Finland. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo, she previously served as Consul General at the Philippine Embassy in Brussels. Her appointment was confirmed by the Commission on Appointments (CA) on May 20, 2009, and she presented her credentials to Finnish President Tarja Halonen on November 12, 2009. With the Embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Domingo P. Nolasco, who was appointed to the position by President Bongbong Marcos on June 25, 2024. Prior to becoming Ambassador, Nolasco, a career diplomat, served as the DFA's Assistant Secretary for Financial Management Services, and before that served at the Philippine Embassy in Rome as ambassador to Italy. His appointment was confirmed by the CA on August 7, 2024.

Finalement

Finalement () is a 2024 French comedy drama film directed by Claude Lelouch. It premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on 2 September 2024 and will receive a theatrical release in France on 13 November 2024. Premise A lawyer, having lost his ability to tell lies, embarks on a road trip across France. Cast Kad Merad as Lino Massaro Elsa Zylberstein as Léa, Lino's wife Michel Boujenah as Michel Sandrine Bonnaire as Sandrine Barbara Pravi as Barbara, Lino's daughter as Manon Marianne Denicourt François Morel Clémentine Célarié Lionel Abelanski Dominique Pinon Julie Ferrier Françoise Fabian as Françoise, Lino's mother Ibrahim Maalouf Victor Meutelet Jean Dujardin Marie-Hélène Lentini Thomas Levet Production Regarding the film, director Claude Lelouch stated, "Finalement is certainly a film about France, but also about the French, about family, about freedom, about solitude, about appearances, about music, about cinema." He stated that the character of Lino was inspired by "brilliant attorneys" such as Robert Badinter and Éric Dupond-Moretti. Filming took place in Beaune and Saône-et-Loire in mid-2023. Filming also took place at the Stéphane Rolland fashion show at the Palais Garnier on 4 July 2023. Music Release The film premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on 2 September 2024. Reception Boyd van Hoeij of Screen Daily wrote, "The sheer filmmaking pleasure and mastery of Lelouch behind the camera is especially evident in the first hour or so, with [Stéphane] Mazalaigue's editing deserving a special mention for how it keeps all of the different narrative layers laid out so clearly. But the plot's necessity to build to some kind of logical finale with increasingly higher stakes causes an initially smooth-running train to increasingly splutter." Guy Lodge of Variety called the film "cluttered, often baffling" and wrote, "[Claude Lelouch] falls some way short of his glory days in this muddled, sentimental tale of a lawyer grappling with mortality and truth, but his devotees will find much to chew on." Jan Lumholdt of Cineuropa called the film "a mixture of 'greatest hits' put in a bag of old tricks, shaken and stirred". Alberto Crespi of La Repubblica gave the film four out of five stars, writing, "...[T]his new film, despite some slowness in the finale, is a delight. And above all it is a surprising film." Movieplayer.it gave the film three out of five stars, calling it a "half-successful film" and writing, "...Lelouch's film manages to demonstrate the lability of human existence; a performance recited without scripts, but improvising, just like a jazz concert. Between constant leaps between reality and imagination, the film ultimately borders on an unsustainable paroxysm, which disorients and slows down the process of identification of a confused and not always happy audience."

Statue of Roger Ebert

C-U at the Movies is a statue of film critic Roger Ebert located outside of the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, Illinois. The bronze statue was designed by sculptor Rick Harney. It was unveiled at the 2014 Ebertfest—an annual film festival established by Ebert and held at the theater—and formally dedicated later that year. The interactive artwork consists of a sculpture of a seated Ebert giving a thumbs-up, with two empty seats allowing for visitors to pose with him. History Roger Ebert was a film critic who worked for the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. During his career, he became the first film critic to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, which he won in 1975, and hosted the nationally broadcast film review television program At the Movies with fellow critic Gene Siskel. Additionally, he established Ebertfest, an annual film festival held at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, Illinois, near his hometown of Urbana, with the intention of screening what he considered to be overlooked films. He died in April 2013 due to cancer. Plans for a statue of Ebert started around 2011. Donna Anderson, the travel agent for Ebertfest, had the idea while awaiting a heart transplantation at the McGaw Medical Center. The overall design came about after she saw a statue of politician Adlai Stevenson II at the Central Illinois Regional Airport near Bloomington. That statue had been designed by Rick Harney, a sculptor based out of Normal, Illinois, who was contacted to design a statue of Ebert in a similar style. Carney was at the time retired and not accepting commissions for new art pieces, but accepted the work as both he and his autistic son were fans of Ebert and bonded over his film reviews. The Public Art League, a nonprofit organization, oversaw the project, working in collaboration with the Champaign Park District, the University of Illinois College of Media, and the city governments of both Champaign and Urbana to erect the statue outside of the Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign. The statue project was publicly announced in September 2013, and the following month, Harney created an initial model made of cardboard, Plastilina, and plywood. It took him about six months to create the finished sculpture. The finished sculpture was cast at a foundry in Mount Morris, Illinois. Much of the financing for the project came from fundraising, which was coordinated by Scott Anderson, Donna's husband, and included donations from about 150 people and organizations, including film director Martin Scorsese and Ebert's widow, Chaz. Incentives for donating included a miniature version of the statue to anyone who gave at least $10,000 to the project. The total cost of the project was $122,500 (), with the city government of Champaign covering the installation and lighting costs of $10,000. Unveiling and dedication thumb|300x300px|The statue (visible at left in 2017) was unveiled outside of the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, Illinois, on April 24, 2014, during Ebertfest. At noon on April 24, 2014, during the second day of that year's Ebertfest, Donna and Scott Anderson officially unveiled the statue outside of the theater. Scott served as the unofficial master of ceremonies for the event, which drew an audience of about 200 people. Allegro non molto by Antonio Vivaldi was played during the unveiling. During the ceremony, Chaz stated that her late husband would have been honored by the statue, but also embarrassed due to his modesty. Chaz also stated that Ebert was hesitant to have a statue erected in his honor, telling her "I don't want it to be like a carnival attraction. If it's art, that's one thing. If it's a carnival attraction, that's another thing". However, Ebert ultimately left the decision up to Chaz, who was convinced by Donna of the artistic merit of the sculpture and gave the project her blessing. The statue was only a temporary exhibit during the festival, being fixed on a wooden platform near the theater. However, the organizers planned for it to be permanently installed at a later date. Following the festival, the Champaign Park District, which also owns the theater, took ownership of the sculpture, further agreeing to oversee its permanent placement and insurance. The statue's permanent installation occurred on July 1, with a dedication taking place on July 3. Chaz attended this ceremony, which drew a crowd of about 200 people. Also during the dedication, two plaques—a commemorative one about Ebert and another that listed donors who gave more than $1,000 to the project—were also installed near the statue. The commemorative plaque reads: In April 2015, prior to the start of that year's Ebertfest, Harney performed some minor preservation work on the statue, applying wax to certain parts of the sculpture in order to hinder oxygenation. Design The statue, officially titled C-U at the Movies as a reference to Ebert's signature complimentary close, is made of bronze and depicts a life-size Ebert sitting in a theatre chair flanked by two empty seats on either side. Chaz has described the work as "interactive art", as it allows for people to sit alongside Ebert. Ebert is giving a thumbs-up, a hand sign he used on At the Movies to indicate a good film. At Chaz's request, Ebert is depicted as he would have looked in his 50s or 60s, when the film festival first began. Also at Chaz's request, Carney said that he made Ebert look slimmer. The sculpture is wide and weighs several hundred pounds. It is located outside of the theater, near the intersection of Park Avenue and Randolph Street, facing north.

2024 French political crisis

France entered a political crisis after the 2024 French legislative election organized by the French president Emmanuel Macron in June 2024. The results placed the left-wing coalition New Popular Front (NFP) in first place (193 MPs) above the presidential party, Renaissance (RE) (166 MPs), in second place, and the far-right party National Rally (RN) (142 MPs) in third place. The French government submitted its resignation on 15 July 2024, but was kept in place by the president while awaiting the appointment of a new prime minister to form a new government. At the same time, the caretaker French government continued operations in New Caledonia aimed at "pacifying" the region following unrest and uprisings sparked by a controversial reform. Emmanuel Macron announced to delay the appointment of a new prime minister until after the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Initially, Macron announced that he would chose a new prime minister in mid-August. In mid-August, Emmanuel Macron said that he would begin consultations with the main political parties on 23 August. On 26 August, the French president announced his refusal to appoint the NFP candidate as prime minister, contrary to the usual practice of cohabitation in the French Republic, which typically involves the leader of the largest party in the National Assembly being appointed as prime minister. While Macron would like to see a centrist coalition form and called for another round of consultations, the Greens and a faction of the Socialist Party (PS), both minority members of the NFP, have announced their refusal to participate in further discussions. The National Rally (RN), meanwhile, maintained a low-key attitude, aiming to capitalize on the disputes between Macron and the leftist parties that won the elections. This decision plunged France into a political crisis and was followed by an announcement from France Unbowed (LFI), the main party of the NFP, stating their intention to initiate impeachment proceedings against the French president. This was done on the 31st of August. The caretaker government remained in place so far for 47 days as of 31 August, a very unusual situation in French history and politics, unprecedented since the previous record of 1962, when the fallen Pompidou government stayed for 62 days. If no government were to be appointed by September 16, it would be the longest period without a government in French modern history. Background After the snap legislative elections called by French president Emmanuel Macron in response to the results of the previous month's European elections, where the far-right National Rally (RN) came out on top, his party was defeated and finished in second place (166 MPs), behind the left-wing coalition of the New Popular Front (NFP) (193 MPs) and above the far-right National Rally (RN) (142 MPs). The French government submitted its resignation on 15 July 2024, after being reduced to a minority. At the same time, the caretaker French government was engaged in trying to handle the 2024 New Caledonia unrest, following the presidential party's attempt to implement a controversial reform of voting rights on the island in May 2024. Events Macron decided to hold off until mid-August, announcing that an 'Olympic truce' should be respected, which was already a singular choice in French politics. By mid-August, he had still not appointed a prime minister but instead announced his intention to consult with the various parties, which was done on 23 August. On 26 August, after meeting the leaders of the National Rally (RN), Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, Macron announced that, contrary to the usual practice of cohabitation in France, he would not appoint Lucie Castets, the candidate nominated by the NFP to become prime minister. This decision exacerbated the French political crisis, and France Unbowed (LFI), the main party within the NFP, announced its intention to initiate impeachment proceedings against him. While Macron would have liked to see a centrist coalition form and called for another round of consultations, the Greens and a faction of the Socialist Party (PS), both minority members of the NFP, announced their refusal to participate in further discussions. The National Rally (RN), meanwhile, maintained a low-key attitude, aiming to capitalize on the disputes between Macron and the leftist parties that won the elections. Various organizations called for protests and strikes to be held on the 7th September. On 28 August, former French president (2012-2017) François Hollande, a member of the NFP himself, called the crisis an 'institutional fault'. On the same day, Macron announced that he would meet the leaders of the French regions. On 29 August, the Socialist Party opened its summer university, where two opposing factions were expected to clash: those aligned with the political stance of the party's president, Olivier Faure, supporting Lucie Castets' candidacy, and the dissenters, such as Carole Delga and Bernard Cazeneuve, who advocated for an alliance with Emmanuel Macron's party and what they call the 'republican forces'. Macron notably spoke with Delga on the morning of the 29. Meanwhile, the General Confederation of Labour (CGT), France's largest union, condemned what it called a 'power grab' by the French president and called for a day of strikes and protests on October 1st against the budget announced by the caretaker government, while refusing to say to participate in the 7 September planned protests, announcing that they preferred to focus on social and economic issues instead of political ones. The same evening, Ségolène Royal, a former Socialist presidential candidate (2007) who left the Socialist Party in 2017 when she was appointed as ambassador by Macron, before 'discreetly' rejoining the party in 2021 after being ousted from her ambassadorial post, announced that she was 'available' for the position. On the 30th of August, right-wing former president (2007-2012) Nicolas Sarkozy called for a 'right-wing' prime minister to be named. On the 31st of August, France Unbowed (LFI) officially launched the proceedings to impeach Emmanuel Macron, using article 68 of the French constitution, that states that :The President of the Republic can only be removed from office in the event of a breach of duties that is clearly incompatible with the exercise of their mandate.

Superintendencies of Indian Affairs

A Superintendent of Indian Affairs was a regional administrator who supervised groups of Indian Agents who worked directly with individual tribes. It was the responsibility of the Superintendent to see that the Indian Agents complied with official government policy. The records for Superintendencies exist in the National Archives and in the Bureau of Indian Affairs; additionally, copies may be available in other official record storage or research facilities. The position of Superintendent was abolished in 1878, after which agents of the Bureau of Indian Affairs reported directly to the Commissioner's Office in Washington, DC, at least until the BIA created Area Offices. The Superintendencies, Listed Alphabetically Indian Affairs were, previous to 1824, a division of the War Department before being repositioned as a division of the Department of the Interior.

The Big Beat scandal

The Big Beat scandal was a national television controversy in the United States, mainly concerned with the racial issue focusing on Black American and White individuals dancing interracially while The Big Beat was broadcast on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) Network, which was hosted by Alan Freed. History The Big Beat was the first interracial teen show broadcast in New York City which was debuted on May 4, 1957. On July 19 same year, New York-based American black teen singer Frankie Lymon was dancing with a white girl, causing the outrage in TV stations at the Southern states. In the Southern states, racial segregation was "still in effect" since the civil rights movement was at its earliest stages. Few weeks after the incident, the show was immediately cancelled after four episodes. Therefore, the ABC executives "buckled under the pressure." Following the incident regarding interracial dance between Frankie Lymon and a white girl, Freed was often featured in magazines and newspapers which he wore "bright scarlet tuxedos or outsized window-plaid sport coats punctuated with a wispy silk bow tie favored by African American or white hillbilly artists." Therefore, Freed was fired from the ABC. According to an American Bandstand producer to New York Post, the interracial dance between Frankie Lymon and a white girl "contributed to American Bandstand's segregation." It is also revealed that The Milt Grant Show faced similar issues two months prior to the following incident. Regardless of the controversies among Southern Americans who were working in TV stations, Freed was inducted along with Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame "in its very first class" in 1986 because he promoted the interracial dance. It appears that the clip of final episode does not exist, but the audio files remain online.

Feather O' My Wing (Irish fairy tale)

Feather O' My Wing is an Irish fairy tale collected and published by Irish author Seumas MacManus. The tale belongs to the international cycle of the Animal as Bridegroom as a subtype, with few variants reported across Europe. In it, the heroine is delivered to a cursed or enchanted prince, but breaks a taboo and loses him; later, she finds work elsewhere and wards off the unwanted advances of male suitors with the magical object her enchanted husband gave her. Summary A gentleman who lives in Connaught has thre daughters. One day, a magpie lands on a rich gentleman's shoulders. The man tries to shoo it away, but lets the bird perch on his shoulder and talks to it. The magpie answers that he is an enchanted prince. The man asks what he can do to help him, and the magpie replies that if he can marry one of the man's daughters, his enchantment can be broken. The gentleman takes the magpie with him to his house and talks to his three daughters. The elder two refuse to entertain the magpie, but the youngest, named Una, decides to help the bird. After the man and the elder daughters leave, the girls spy on Una being courted by a handsome man instead of the bird. The sisters become jealous. Una and the prince marry and depart to his castle. The elder sister decides to visit their new home, but the prince warns that his castle is filled with rare and beautiful things; if anyone were to covet them, he would revert to a magpie for another seven years. Some time later, Una's elder sister promises not to covet anything. During her visit, however, the elder sister mutters to herself she wants to have a certain golden plate of her brother-in-law's collection, and the prince turns back into a magpie. His wife, Una, asks the prince what she can do. The prince replies that she is to go to the mansion of the White Lady and work as a laundress, but she must not ask for money, and let her employer, the White Lady, place her wages in a drawer. The magpie also gives her a feather of his wing and teaches her a spell: "By the feather of his wing". And so it happens: Una works for the White Lady, and uses the feather and the spell to do her chores, like washing heaps of dirty clothes, hanging them to dry, ironing and folding them. Una's employer is surprised at her work, but this arises suspicions among the other female servants. One night, a waitress goes to Una's room to share a bottle of wine with the newcomer, and Una pretends to drink and feigns sleep. The waitress asks where Una's source of magic lies, and she lies that it is in her red curls. Later, she creeps into Una's room to cut off her red curls (spurred by Una's sarcastic retort), but Una - pretending to be asleep - uses her husband's feather and commands the waitress to do her chores all night; thus, she sets every table for the whole night and well into the morning, to the other servants' amusement. Una then dispels the command. Next, a lady gardener tries her luck and brings a bottle of wine to share with Una, so that she reveals her secrets. Again, the girl pretends to drink and lies that her magic is in a ribbon tied around her wrist. Later at night, the lady gardener enters the room with a pair of scissors to cut Una's ribbon on her wrist, and the girl uses the feather and the magic spell to force the other to tend to the garden the whole night: raking, digging, and planting flowers and seeds, until the morning. After the other servants find the gardener in this state, Una dismisses the command. Lastly, a lady coachman goes to extract the truth from Una with another bottle of wine, and is answered the powers lie in Una's left earring. Thus, the women enters Una's room, but the girl forces the coachman to do her job: she goes to the stables and harnesses the horses, then takes the White Lady from her bed, places her in a carriage, and both gallop round the house, awakening everyone in the house, until the morning, when Una dispels the command. After humiliating the servants, the White Lady is furious with Una, but does not know how to deal with her. When Una's seven years' time is almost up, the White Lady gathers all of her servants and orders them to arm themselves with sticks and prepare to beat Una as soon as she leaves the house. As for Una, she prepares to leave the mansion, since she saw her husband arriving in a coach, but the White Lady and her servants approach her. Una uses the magic command to have the White Lady and the servants beat themselves up. Una's husband, the prince, appears to her and kisses her, then says the people have been punished enough. With this, Una recants the spell and releases everyone. The prince takes Una back to their castle, explaining the White Lady was the one that cursed him in the first place, but now he is free at last. Analysis Tale type The tale belongs to the cycle of the Animal as Bridegroom, of the international Aarne-Thompson Index, as subtype AaTh 425N, "Bird Husband": after losing her husband, the heroine finds work somewhere else and has to avoid the romantic advances of unwanted suitors.Aarne, Antti; Thompson, Stith. The types of the folktale: a classification and bibliography. Folklore Fellows Communications FFC no. 184. Helsinki: Academia Scientiarum Fennica, 1973 [1961]. pp. 144.Delarue, Paul. Le conte populaire français: catalogue raisonné des versions de France et des pays de langue française d'outre-mer: Canada, Louisiane, îlots français des États-Unis, Antilles françaises, Haïti, Ile Maurice, La Réunion. Volume 2. Érasme, 1957. p. 109. According to Christine Goldberg, the heroine enchants the servants to be kept busy with some other task for the whole night.Goldberg, Christine. "Nächte erkauft". In: Enzyklopädie des Märchens Band 9: Magica-Literatur – Neẓāmi. Edited by Rudolf Wilhelm Brednich; Hermann Bausinger; Wolfgang Brückner; Helge Gerndt; Lutz Röhrich; Klaus Roth. De Gruyter, 2016 [1999]. p. 1119. . In his monograph about Cupid and Psyche, Swedish scholar proposed that subtype 425N derived from a type he designated as 425A, that is, "Cupid and Psyche", which contains the episode of the witch's tasks.Swahn, Jan Öjvind. The Tale of Cupid and Psyche. Lund, C.W.K. Gleerup. 1955. pp. 23, 344. However, after 2004, German folklorist Hans-Jörg Uther updated the international catalogue and subsumed type AaTh 425N under the more general type ATU 425B, "The Son of the Witch".Oriol, Carme. «La catalogació de les rondalles en el context internacional». In: Revista d’etnologia de Catalunya, [en línia], 2007, Núm. 31, p. 94. https://raco.cat/index.php/RevistaEtnologia/article/view/74325 [Consulta: 11-08-2021]. Motifs The crow is the supernatural husband's form in Northern European variants, but in all of them the heroine receives a magical token from her husband: either a feather from the bird husband, or a ring. According to Swahn, the husband's token (feather or ring) is what allows the heroine to humiliate her unwanted suitors (akin to some variants of tale type ATU 313, "The Magic Flight"), and the feather as the token appears in German, English and Irish variants.Swahn, Jan Öjvind. The Tale of Cupid and Psyche. Lund, C.W.K. Gleerup. 1955. pp. 344-345. Variants Distribution According to scholar Christine Goldberg, Swahn reported 17 variants of subtype 425N across Europe, in Ireland, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain and France. Swahn calls type 425N "West European", with a limited distribution area. Ireland The Enchanted King and Queen In an Irish tale collected by Pádraig Ó Tuathail from County Carlow and County Wicklow with the title The Enchanted King and Queen, a prince becomes bewitched to be a crow for seven years. When he flies in crow form, he sights a royal couple and their horses bogged in the mud. The crow-prince offers to help, in exchange for the royal couple's daughter. The royal parents agree and the crow helps them. The princess, named Nancy, meets her crow fiancé, who turns into a handsome man. He asks her which form she prefers him to be; she answers that she wants him as a man by night. And so they marry and move out to a palace of their own. One day, the crow prince warns her to protect a cask of gold and not give it to a witch that will come after it, no matter the cost. This it happens: a witch appears and demands the cask, but the princess refuses to give it. The witch comes back the next day and fails again. On the third day, she appears with two teeth and two walking sticks, captures the princess and steals the cask of gold, to the crow prince's misfortune. Nancy cries over the broken promise, but the crow prince has a plan: he advises her to seek employment with the old witch, gives her three feathers of his tail and teaches her a spell to fulfill every wish she may have ("By the bark of my three crow's feathers"). Nancy goes to the old witch's house and offers her services as a maid. She washes and dries the clothes, feeds the horses - all with the magic command her husband taught her. At the end of the afternoon, a servant lad wishes to stay with Nancy all night, but the asks him a favor: for him to close the duck-house door for her. The servant lad goes and Nancy chants the magical spell to have the lad lock the duck-house door all night. The next day, Nancy uses the magical spell on another servant: this time, he stays up all night just raking and raking the fire. The third time, she commands a third servant lad to lock the fowl-house door all night, for fire to come out of his mouth and for him to go round the yard like a devil. Some time later, fed up with the humiliation, the three servants lad prepare a trap for Nancy in the woods, but she learns of this and uses the magical command to compel the trio to beat one another. The old witch appears to see the commotion and Nancy alters the command and compels the lads to strike the witch. The hag begs for Nancy to save her, and the princess agrees, so long as she returns the cask of gold to her. Nancy gets the casket and dispels the command, then goes back to the magpie husband, who has become human for good. Ó Tuathail classified the tale as type AaTh 425. The Black Crow In an Irish tale collected from teller Sean O'Conaill, from Iveragh, with the title An Préachán Dubh and translated as The Black Crow, a girl named Máire lives with her blind father. One day, he is riding a horse when the man reaches a cliff, but a mysterious voice stops him and strikes a deal: the voice will restore his sight in exchange for Máire's hand. The man says she has to make the decision herself, but the voice says it will accompany the man to see wil she will accept. Máire's father regains his sight and sees a black crow nearby. The man and the bird go home together and Máire welcomes her father, who explains to her the deal he made with the crow. Máire understands the situation and agrees. Later that night, Máire and the black crow retire to their bedroom and sleep. One of her father's servants goes to make their bed and finds "the finest youth" beside Máire. Máire does not suspect anything. The next day, the crow appears next to her, but at night, it is the youth again. The maidservant informs Máire about the youth lying in bed with her at night. Máire decides to see it for herself, but falls asleep on the second night. On the third night, Máire pretends to be asleep and finds the youth next to her, and a black cloak hanging nearby. She takes the cloak and rushes to burn it, the youth behind her. After she burns the crow cloak, the youth says he is a bewitched prince and just had to sleep with her on their bed for three nights, and he would regain human form, but now he will turn into a porpoise for seven years. The youth leaves Máire's house and travels afar, the girl trailing behind him, until he stops by the seashore, where he indicates the place he will suffer the next part of his curse. He also points Máire to a nearby house where the girl can find work, and gives her a ring that can grant her everything she asks of it. Máire enters the house and is taken in as a servant, then is given clothes and a bloodied shirt. Máire takes the clothes to the river and touches the shirt with the ring, which removes the blood. Later, the young king who lives in the house marries another girl, and Máire is ordered to set the tables. However, the girl cannot be found anywhere in the house, so they look outside: she is combing the hair on her detached head. The servants gossip about it and the young king's bride boasts she used to do it back home; she cuts off her head to demonstrate it, but dies. The next night, the young marries a second bride and Máire is to set the tables, but a messenger finds her winding a skein of yard on a bull's horse, said bull no one has dared approach in a hundred years. The messenger returns to the house and tells the servants about it; the second bride learns of Máire's incredible feat and boasts she herself used to do the same back home. The second bride then approaches the ferocious bull and the animal places her horns under her and lifts her to the West Indies, never to return. Later, the young king marries another woman, and Máire once again neglects the tables. A messenger finds her working on a spinning wheel on a stalk overlooking a cliff. A third messenger reports the sight back at the house and the third bride insists she used to do the same back home, then goes to Máire's location. After Máire leaves the chair on the stalk, the third bride walks on the stalk, but falls off the cliff and dies. After losing three brides in three occasions, the young king decides to get rid of the newcomer Máire and bribes Mici, the swineherd, to spend a night with her, so the young king can find them together and denounce her to the king. Mici meets Máire and offers her money to spend the night with her. Before anything happens between them, Máire asks Mici to check out the night outside and close the window. However, antlers sprout on his head and he is stuck by window the whole cold night. The prince asks Máire to release Mici from that position. Next, the prince sends the butler to Máire's room, and she asks him to lift her prayerbook from the grate to keep it from burning, but his hands are firmly stuck to the book and he spends the night in this position. The prince asks Máire to release the butler, and the next night gives her some money to spend the night with her. Máire takes the payment, but asks to have a drink with the prince. She prepares some punch for her and the prince and drops a ring in the prince's tumbler. The prince finds the ring and looks at it, then admits to Máire they are married already, and he congratulates her for keeping his ring. Thus, they live happily together. The Magpie's Wife In an Irish tale collected from an informant named Joe Duffy in the late-1930s, from Corgerry Eighter, County Galway, with the title The Magpie's Wife, a gentleman has three daughters. One day, a magpie appears as asks the man for one of his daughters in marriage. The man's elder two daughters refuse the magpie's proposal, save for the youngest. The magpie marries the girl and takes her to a large house, accompanied by one of the girl's sisters, and gives his bride a set of keys. She can open every door in the castle, save for one. The girl and her sister enter the room and suddenly they are in the middle of a green field, sat on rock. The magpie appears to them and gives his wife three feathers, each feather containing three wishes for her to wish for anything. The birds sends her to another town for work, and she is hired by a lady from a house. One day, the lady's male servants are shaking mats when the magpie's wife uses the feather's powers to force everyone to beat each other. The girl brings her lady employer to the fight, and the girl wishes for one of the male servants to hit the lady and kill her. It happens thus, and the magpie and his wife move out to the lady's house.The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0077, Pages 476-477. duchas.ie. Retrieved August 28th, 2024. Other tales In an untitled Irish tale published by Irish author Lady Gregory, a king and queen's daughter is asked by a jackdaw if she would marry him after a year and a day. She denies him at first, but agrees the second time. Some time later, a carriage comes to take the princess to the jackdaw's castle, where she is instructed not to utter a word, lest she loses him forever. Suddenly, people come to beat the jackdaw to a pulp, which frightens the princess so much she utter a loud, pitiful lament for him. The jackdaw laments that the princess could stay silent and must leave her forever, but gives her a ring that can grant her every wish. After the jackdaw vanishes, the princess finds herself in darkness and commands the ring to open up a hole for her to escape. She sights a ship in the distance, and wishes the ring to appear on the ship, where she also wishes for food and drinks to appear before her. The ship docks in foreign lands, and the princess finds work with a local lord as a seamstress. One day, she is ordered to sew a dress for the gentleman's daughter, and she commands the ring to provide her with a dress. Later, the princess makes a swing in the garden and plays on it. The gentleman's daughter comes to the garden and wants to play on the swing, despite the princess's warnings. The gentleman's daughter plays on the swing, but falls from it and dies. The princess is brought to court, but, in her defense, explains she gave two warnings to the girl. Irish folklorist Séamus Ó Duilearga listed the tale as a variant of type 425.

Phở Gabo

Phở Gabo is a small chain of Vietnamese restaurants in the Portland metropolitan area, in the U.S. state of Oregon. The business is owned by Eddie Dong and has operated in Hillsboro since 2015 and Happy Valley since 2022. Previously, a third location operated in northeast Portland's Roseway neighborhood from 2018 to 2024. It closed due to a series of odor complaints by an anonymous neighbor, resulting in multiple visits from inspectors as well as fines. The Portland location's closure received pushback by some community groups and politicians, including the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon and the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association. City commissioner Carmen Rubio directed the Bureau of Development Services to suspend the inspection of odor complaints about restaurants, a decision praised by Vietnamese American state legislators Daniel Nguyen, Hoa Nguyen, Hai Pham, Khanh Pham, and Thuy Tran. In April 2024, Dong announced plans to sue the city for discriminatory code enforcement. Description The Vietnamese restaurant chain Phở Gabo has operated three locations in the Portland metropolitan area. The business has locations in Happy Valley and Hillsboro, and previously operated at the intersection of 73rd Avenue and Fremont Street in northeast Portland's Roseway neighborhood. The menu includes beef noodle soup. History Phở Gabo is owned by Eddie Dong. The Hillsboro, Portland, and Happy Valley locations opened in 2015, 2018, and 2022, respectively. The Portland location operated in the space previously occupied by Phở Hùng, starting in 1995. Portland closure In September 2022, Dong received a notice that the Portland restaurant "was in violation of the zoning code that prohibits odors impacting a nearby residential neighborhood", according to Willamette Week. The restaurant had not received any complaints during its first five years operating, and replaced an Asian restaurant that had operated for approximately three decades. In February 2024, following an eighteen-month-long series of odor complaints filed by an anonymous neighbor to the city's Bureau of Development Services, the location was closed temporarily. A note affixed to the door said, "Due to the city's and the neighborhood's complaints about the smell of the food that we grill and the foods that we serve customers we are temporarily closing this location." Complaints had resulted in a dozen visits from inspectors as well as fines. The location had been broken into nine times over seven years, and the front door had a sign that read, "Please do not break windows/doors. No money inside. Thank you!" The Portland location's closure prompted some pushback from the community. The Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon took issue with the closure and said the zoning code "disproportionately impacts the BIPOC-owned businesses that bring vibrancy and cultural diversity to our neighborhoods". The Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association requested that the city review its "subjective, unfair 'smell' code immediately and cease targeting small restaurants and their owners, many of whom are people from various racial and ethnic backgrounds". Dong reportedly received "messages of support from Vietnamese community organizations and ... heard about City Hall's interest". City commissioner Carmen Rubio directed the bureau to suspend the inspection of odor complaints about restaurants. Additionally, five Vietnamese American state legislators—Daniel Nguyen, Hoa Nguyen, Hai Pham, Khanh Pham, and Thuy Tran—issued a statement about the closure and praising Rubio's decision. In April 2024, Dong announced plans to sue the city for "economic and noneconomic damages related to the City’s subjective, selective and disproportionate enforcement of city codes", and "discriminatory enforcement of city odor codes". The claim also said Dong "has suffered…reputational harm, fear, humiliation, embarrassment, emotional distress, and loss of his community". The building that housed the Portland restaurant is slated to be sold. Reception In 2022, Willamette Week said Phở Gabo was "certainly worth a stop for noodleheads".

The church lies on high ground, and is set back from the village's main street. The village was recorded in the Domesday Book and appears to have had a church at the time, a chapel of ease to St Agatha's Church, Gilling West. The oldest surviving above-ground part of the current church is the north arcade, constructed in about 1200, but the foundations of the nave and chancel may be earlier. The very short tower probably dates from later in the 13th century. The nave and chancel were rebuilt in the 14th century, perhaps following a purported Scottish raid on the village in 1319. A belfry was added in the 16th century. In 1887, the church was finally given its own parish, but by this time it was in poor repair. In about 1890, the church was heavily restored, with a new vestry, porch and roof added, a new tower arch, some of the windows replaced, and the floor lowered by one foot. The building was grade II* listed in 1968. It is built in red and brown sandstone] with tiled roofs, and consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower is low and small, with two stages, quoins, a round-arched bell opening on the west and north sides, each with a chamfered surround and stone slate louvres, and an embattled parapet. Some medieval material has been repositioned inside the porch, including a human figure known as the "Eryholme Madonna". This is of uncertain date, but may well be late mediaeval work associated with the Virgin Mary. Inside the church is a simple font, dating from about 1200.

Margaret Pageler

Margaret Pageler is a former Seattle City Council member in Position 5 from 1992 until 2004. Early life and education Pageler was born in rural China to missionary parents. She stayed in China and Taiwan until her teens. Pageler would attend multiple schools in Illinois for college; Wheaton College for her bachelor's degree in Social Studies, Northern Illinois University for her master's in school administration, and the University of Chicago Law School. Pageler was a former schoolteacher, and after law school, she worked at the law firm Stoel Rives. Seattle City Council Elections Pageler unsuccessfully ran for city council three times in the 1980s under the progressive neighborhood group Vision Seattle. In 1991, she ran for city council to fill the seat vacated by Paul Kraabel, who was retiring. In the general election, Pageler would win with 57% of the vote to opponent, R.P. (Dick) Nelson, 43%. In 1995, Pageler ran for reelection against perennial candidate Charlie Chong. Pageler would win in a landslide against Chong, 69% to 31%. In 1999, Pageler ran for a third term against three challengers. In the September Primary, she won an outright majority with 58% of the vote, and her nearest challenger, Curt Firestone, received 23% of the vote. Firestone, co-founder of the Seattle Progressive Coalition and a leader of the Seattle Green Party, ran to the left of Pageler and accused her of moving away from the progressive values of her 1991 campaign. Pageler would tout her accomplishments on the city council and her ability to make things work. In the November general election, Pageler won reelection against Firestone, 67% to 33%. In 2003, Pageler ran for a fourth term and would face against five challengers. In the September primary, Pageler would garner 39% of the vote with Tom Rasmussen, an advocate for senior citizens, garnering 25%. Pageler ran as a "rock" and "voice of reason" stating, "I'm the one who opposes silly resolutions and stays out of all the scandals," (referring to the Strippergate Scandal.) Rasmussen blamed Pageler for the financial crisis facing Seattle City Light since she oversaw the agency in city council. In the November general election, Pageler lost to Rasmussen, 48% to 52%. Tenure While in office, Pageler chaired the Public Safety Committee and the Utilities and Environmental Management Committee. From 2000 to 2001, Pageler was president of the city council. While chair of the Utilities and Environmental Management Committee, Pageler oversaw Seattle City Light, and decisions made by Paegler, the council, and City Light increased the debt for City Light, contributing to a financial crisis that increased rates for customers. Auditors would blame the council's decisions not to increase rates during the 1990s while increasing City Lights debt financing. Although she initially ran for city council as a progressive, Pageler governed more as a conservative. She supported bills such as the Teen Dance Ordinance, "civility" ordinances proposed by the city attorney, and propose legislation that would have created a "4-foot rule" around exotic dancers and customers. Ethics complaint In 1999, before the city council elections, Pageler was the voice of a City Light radio advertisement and the Director of the Seattle Ethics Elections Commission concluded that the ad may have inadvertently violated election laws. Pageler reimbursed the city $2,000 for the ad, and the Ethics and Elections Commission dismissed the complaint.

French ironclad Valmy

Valmy was the second member of the of coastal defense ships built for the French Navy () in the 1890s. Launched in 1892, the vessel joined the ( Northern Squadron of the French Navy) at Brest. Armed with a main armament of two guns, the vessel was designed within the principles of the . The ship served in the Northern Squadron, which Vice Admiral Armand Bernard called, "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea". Valmy took part in a large naval exercises in 1895 and 1896 but otherwise had an uneventful career as French naval doctrine moved from a fleet of smaller coastal defense ships to larger ocean-going battleships. The ship was decommissioned after 1909 and sold in 1911 to be broken up. Design and description thumb|left|alt=Cutaway of the Jemmapes class from Brassey's Naval Annual|Plan view of the Jemmapes class Launched in 1883, Valmy was the second member of the of coastal defense ships designed by de Bussy for the French Navy () as part of a wider adoption of the principles of . The design was to have a similar level of armament, armour, draught and fuel storage as the preceding but with a more modern powerplant based on Belleville boilers that would provide an increase in speed to . The design proposal was accepted by the Board of Construction () on 26 February 1889, finalised on 2 July and approved by the Minister of the Navy () Jules François Émile Krantz on 6 July. Valmy had an overall length of , at the waterline and between perpendiculars, a beam of at the waterline and a mean draught of at deep load. The vessel displaced and had a ship's complement that numbered 299 sailors of all ranks. Valmy was powered by two triple-expansion steam engines that each drove one propeller shaft using steam provided by 16 Lagrafel and d'Allest Bellville boilers. The engine was rated at at 108 rpm. While undertaking sea trials, Valmy reached a speed of from . In service, speed was restricted as a bow wave was created at which, by became impossible to push forward, meaning this became the de facto maximum speed. The ship carried of coal, which gave a range of at a cruising speed of . The maximum load of coal was . Once in service, a range of at was claimed. Valmy carried a main battery of two Canon de Modèle 1887 guns in a two single-gun turrets, one forward of the superstructure and the other aft. The guns were manually-loaded and fired one round every five minutes, but this was improved between 1900 and 1902 with new equipment. Secondary armament was provided by four 45-calibre M1891 QF guns mounted at the corners of the shelter deck. Defence from torpedo boats was provided by six Canon de Modèle 1885 Hotchkiss guns and eight Hotchkiss revolving cannon. The ship had a full-length waterline armor belt that tapered from the maximum thickness of amidships to aft and forward. The belt was high amidships. The armor was hammered steel on the port side and compound armor on the starboard. The turrets were protected by thick compound armor that was mounted on fixed bases thick while the gun shields for the secondary armament was provided by hammered steel armor thick. The main deck was protected by thick iron plates. The laminated steel plates protecting the conning tower measured in thickness. Construction and career Ordered on 18 December 1889 from Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire of Saint-Nazaire and Saint-Denis, Valmy was laid down later that year and launched on 6 October 1892. The vessel cost £578,957. The ship's machinery was fully installed on 15 March 1894 and accepted after trials on. Initially commissioned for trials in December 1894, Valmy had to wait until her machinery was accepted on 13 August the following year before being fully commissioned on 14 August. She joined the Northern Squadron () of the French Navy to replace the ironclad . On 12 March 1895, as part of the naval budget debate, Vice Admiral Armand Bernard declared that Valmy and her three companions formed "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea". They were considered more than equal to their smaller German contemporaries, the and . Valmy had a generally uneventful career. Between 1 and 23 July 1895, the vessel took part in a large naval exercise in the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Northern Squadron. The manoeuvres included a forced landing at Quiberon and a mock blockade and attack on Cherbourg and Rochefort. The vessel served as part of the defending force, which was successful in resisting the attack. The ship also took part in the maneuvers the following year, conducted from 6 to 26 July in conjunction with the local defense forces of Brest, Rochefort, Cherbourg, and Lorient. The squadron was divided into three divisions for the maneuvers, and Valmy was assigned to the 2nd Division along with her sister ship , the cruiser and the aviso , which represented part of the defending French squadron. At the end of the century, the vessel was part of the Coastal Defence Division alongside the ironclads , and Jemmapes. Meanwhile, French naval doctrine was changing and the focus on coastal defense was being replaced by one of larger sea-going warships. The size of ships was also increasing, and newer, more capable battleships entered service. Valmy was transferred to reserve in 1903, being transferred to Brest between 1 and 2 September 1909. The vessel was ordered to be decommissioned on 11 October 1909 and struck on 1 July the following year. Valmy was sold on 20 July 1911 and broken up.

Synarthothelium

Synarthothelium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Arthoniales. It has two species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichens that occur in tropical regions of the Americas. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the Dutch lichenologist Laurens Sparrius in 2009. Synarthothelium is distinguished from other genera in the Arthoniaceae by the presence of a surrounding its reproductive structures (ascomata). While superficially resembling some members of the family Roccellaceae, such as Schismatomma and Mazosia, Synarthothelium differs in its ascus structure and larger spores. The asci are (club-shaped) to (roughly spherical), similar to those found in Arthothelium (referred to as Arthothelium-type), and contain large . The genus shares some characteristics with Cryptothecia and Stirtonia, which also have large spores and similar asci. However, these genera lack distinct ascomata and have different thallus structures. Synarthothelium can be further distinguished from Arthonia, Arthothelium, and Synarthonia based on various morphological features. Another genus in the Arthoniaceae with a thalline margin is Amazonomyces, but it is strictly leaf-dwelling (foliicolous), has differently shaped spores, and produces abundant reproductive structures with very large conidia. The ascomata of Synarthothelium most closely resemble those of Arthothelium, but differ in having a , a excipulum, and non- ascospores. The genus Paradoxomyces, while sharing some features with Synarthothelium, lacks a thalline margin and is known only as a lichenicolous fungus (growing on other lichens) without its own visible thallus or associated algae. Synarthothelium was originally classified tentatively in the family Arthoniaceae before being placed as incertae sedis (uncertain position) in the order Arthoniales in 2016, because of a lack of molecular sequence data. Habitat and distribution The genus Synarthothelium is known from two species, both found in tropical regions of the Americas. These lichens are corticolous, meaning they grow on tree bark. Synarthothelium sipmanianum, the type species of the genus, has been recorded in Venezuela. It was discovered on , a tepui in Bolívar State, at elevations between approximately 1000 and 1500 metres above sea level. The species was found growing on the base of Stegolepis plants and in forested areas along small streams. Synarthothelium cerebriforme, the second known species in the genus, has been collected in Costa Rica. It was found in San Gerardo de Dota, a cloud forest located in San José Province, at an elevation of about 2800 metres. The specimen was collected from a sapling in a mixed, open Quercus (oak) forest on a steep slope.

Rififi in the City

Rififi in the City () is a 1964 Spanish film directed by Jesús Franco. It is based on the novel Vous souvenez vous de Paco? () by Charles Exbrayat. Initially set as a Spanish and French co-production, changes in distribution agreements led to the film only being produced by Cooperativa Cinematográfica Albatros. Filming was initially set to begin on February 13, 1963, but was delayed for two months. While the film received a positive review in the Spanish newspaper Arriba, it was dismissed in the Spanish film magazine Film Ideal. The film has since received some positive reception from Spanish publications, including being included in an anthology of Spanish film in 1997. Production Following The Sadistic Baron von Klaus (1963), director Jesús Franco's next project was Rififi in the City. The film is based on the novel Vous souvenez vous de Paco? () by French novelist Charles Exbrayat. The novel was popular, winning the Prix du roman d'aventures in 1958. The rights to the novel were purchased for 600,000 pesetas, twice the cost of the fee for the director and more than the sum paid to the male leads in the film. The film was initially set to be a co-production in the early planning stages in December 1962. Initially, four companies were set to be involved: the Madrid-based Cooperativa Albatros and the Paris-based Jeme Films, Parsian Compagnie des Artisans du Film, and Eurociné. Among the cast were Jean Servais and Robert Manuel who had previously appeared in the film Rififi (1955), hence the Spanish title referring to the 1955 film. Rififi in the City would mark the beginning and end of collaborative partners with Franco. It was the first film Franco made with Trino Martinez Trives, who initially worked as a stage director and later acted in Franco's films from the 1980s. It was the second and last film he would work with screenwriters and critics from Film Ideal, screenwriters Juan Cobos and Gonzalo Sebastian de Erice. It was the third and final collaboration between cinematographer Godofredo Pacheco with Franco, after working with him on The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962) and The Sadistic Baron von Klaus. Filming was initially set to begin on February 13, 1963, but was delayed for two months. The score by Daniel White was recorded in April 1963. Release The distribution of the film proved to be problematic. On April 15, 1963, Albatros and Compagnie des Artistsans du Film signed a second deal without the knowledge of Eurociné. Eurociné backed out of funding, leading the film to be passed back and forth between distribution companies in France before being distributed in France by a company called C.I.I. Ángel Escolano said this distribution problem caused difficulties for Cooperativa Cinematográfica Albatros, as the film had cost more than initially expected. Franco alternative said that Eurociné had dropped out as left the project after realizing the film was casting more expensive actors. The film was distributed in southern parts of France starting on April 22, 1964, under the title Vous souvenez-vous de Paco? and later re-released as Chasse à la Mafia. It was released in Madrid on December 7, 1964, in three theatres: Fantasio, Figaro and Rialto. These were followed by screenings on August 11, 1965, in Oviedo and February 28, 1966, in Sevilla. Outside Spain and France, the film was shown in Montreal, Canada on August 16, 1965, where it screened with Jean Luc Godard's Contempt (1963). The film was sold to distributors in the United States, but no English-language version of the film is known. It was released with the English title Rififi in the City on home video. Reception From contemporary reviews, The Spanish newspaper Arriba described the film as a skillful technical production, with "many moments of genuine cinema" Alternatively, Ramon Gomez Redondo from Film Ideal stated the film found the film "boring, ridiculous, perfectly confusing." In 1991, Spanish critic Carlos Aguilar stated that the film "triumphs, totally, where just one year earlier La muerte silba un blues has failed, partially." Andrés Peláez Paz praised the film, and included it in a 1997 anthology Antología crítica del cine español 1906-1995 of Spanish cinema alongside the most famous Iberian masterpieces. Andrés Peláez Paz declared the film to be a love letter to the cinema of Orson Welles in the book.

Boreoplaca

Boreoplaca is a fungal genus in the family Ophioparmaceae. It comprises the single species Boreoplaca ultrafrigida, a saxicolous (rock-dwelling), squamulose lichen. Both the genus and species were described in 1994 by the Norwegian lichenologist Einar Timdal. The lichen is found in Eastern Siberia, the Russian Far East as well as in adjacent territories of north-east China, and in South Korea. The main characteristics of the lichen are its squamulose thallus, black apothecia, and Fuscidea-type asci. Systematics The type specimen of Boreoplaca ultrafrigida was collected from the Ojmyakonskii region of Yakutia in Russia at an elevation of . The lichen is known to occur in a few localities near in Yakutia's Indigirka river valley, where it grows on steep, sun-exposed boulder faces. Other lichens that were found growing near the type specimen were Anamylopsora pulcherrima, Dimelaena oreina, Rhizocarpon renneri, Rhizocarpon subdiscrepans, and Umbilicaria muhlenbergii. Boreoplaca ultrafrigida was previously known as Rhizoplacopsis weichingii, which was described in 2006 but later found to be synonymous. The family Rhizoplacopsidaceae was initially created for this species, but its familial placement is now considered uncertain. The species shows morphological similarities to Lecidea sect. Psora, while its ascus type resembles that of the Hypocenomyce friesii-complex and the H. scalaris-complex. Molecular phylogenetics analyses support its placement in the order Umbilicariales. Timdal initially tentatively suggested a placement in the family Biatoraceae. The amyloid reaction pattern of the ascus tips in Boreoplaca is considered taxonomically significant, with the presence of amyloid asci exhibiting a strongly amyloid dome supporting its relationship with Ophioparma and potential inclusion in Ophioparmaceae. Description Boreoplaca ultrafrigida is a lichen characterised by a (scale-like) thallus, which grows in irregular rosette patterns, often expanding along cracks in the . The thallus can reach up to 4 cm in length and 1.5 cm in width. The individual (small, scale-like lobes of the thallus) are initially closely attached to the surface but soon elongate and develop , with each squamule measuring up to 5 mm in diameter. The upper surface of the thallus is medium brown, smooth to slightly wrinkled or cracked, and lacks any powdery coating (). The margins and underside are black, and the lichen is anchored to its substrate by rhizines, which are specialised root-like structures. The upper cortex, the outermost layer of the thallus, is 50–75 μm thick and pale brown. It is composed of thin-walled hyphae (fungal filaments) that are arranged mostly perpendicular to the surface. These hyphae contain crystals that dissolve in potassium hydroxide solution (K) and are C+ (red). Beneath the upper cortex lies the , which is 50–100 μm thick and contains unicellular green algae, Trebouxia, that are up to 15 μm in diameter. These algae form a symbiotic relationship with the fungal partner, providing it with nutrients through photosynthesis. The medulla, the internal tissue of the thallus, is loosely organised with thin-walled hyphae, similar to those in the upper cortex but lacking crystals and not reacting to standard chemical tests (PD−, K−, C−). The lower cortex, up to 40 μm thick, is dark greenish-black and lacks any crystals. The apothecia (fruiting bodies) are (with a black, non-powdery surface) and can be up to 2 mm in diameter. They are black, dull, and aggregated along the margins of the squamules in the central part of the thallus, becoming angular in shape. The of the apothecia is slightly concave to slightly convex, with a thick, persistent margin. The , or outer edge of the apothecia, is annulate (ring-like) and composed of radiating hyphae, with an olivaceous-black rim that turns greener in potassium hydroxide. Inside the apothecia, the hymenium (fertile layer) is 40–50 μm high and does not contain crystals or oil droplets. It is amyloid, meaning it reacts with iodine, and is overlaid by a greenish-black , which turns brighter green in potassium hydroxide. The paraphyses (sterile filaments) are weakly (stuck together), unbranched or minimally branched, and thin-walled, with green incrusting their surface. The asci (spore-producing sacs) are small, (club-shaped), about 40 by 10 μm at maturity, and contain eight colourless, , broadly ellipsoid to nearly spherical spores, measuring 5–7 by 3.5–4.5 μm. The lichen also has pycnidia, which are small, flask-shaped structures embedded in the thallus that produce asexual spores called conidia. These pycnidia have a slightly protruding, greenish-black pore and are filled with crystals that dissolve in potassium hydroxide. The conidia are (spindle-shaped at both ends) and measure 4–5.5 by approximately 1 μm. Chemically, Boreoplaca ultrafrigida contains lecanoric acid, a secondary metabolite typical of many lichens. Distribution and habitat Beyond its type locality in Yakutia, B. ultrafrigida has been found in several other regions of Russia, including Buryatia, Magadan Oblast, and Primorsky Krai. The species has also been recorded in Jilin province, China, which represents its southernmost known location. In 2018, it was rerported from Prov. Gangwon-do in South Korea, growing on rocks at elevation from 1000 to 1600 metres. Boreoplaca ultrafrigida shows a preference for various habitats, including open Larix forests, open rock outcrops among taiga forests, and can be found at elevations ranging from 600 to 2000 metres.

Henricia pumila

Henricia pumila, commonly known as the dwarf mottled henricia, is a species of blood star, a starfish in the family Echinasteridae. Taxonomy Previously considered conspecific with Henricia leviuscula, H. pumila was officially recognized as a separate species in 2010. Its small adult size, external brooding method of reproduction, and details in its morphology, such as its mottled appearance, distinguish it from H. leviuscula. Its specific epithet, pumila, comes from the Latin for "dwarf". Distribution H. pumila occurs in the cool, shallow waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean, ranging along the North American coast from near Sitka, Alaska, to Ensenada, Baja California. It is much less common in the Southern Californian stretch of its range, with only a handful of sightings along the coasts of the Channel Islands, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. H. pumila is often observed in the low intertidal, where it can be spotted in tide pools at low tide. Description The dwarf mottled henricia typically has five short, yet slender arms (also called rays) which evenly taper to a blunt tip. Four- or six-armed individuals may occur, but are rare. The aboral (dorsal) side of its body ranges from orange, reddish orange, or purplish red in color, mottled with pale orange, cream, or lavender—its oral (ventral) side is yellow or cream. Its aboral surface is dotted with pseudopaxillae (columnar skeletal plates which are topped with small spines) which bear brush-like clusters of crystalline spines, lending the dwarf mottled henricia a textured appearance. Like other starfishes, H. pumila locomotes using tube feet. Ecology Reproduction The dwarf mottled henricia is a brooding species which has been observed brooding its young from January to April. It is assumed that H. pumila has distinct sexes, but it is possible it may display hermaphroditism in its tissues, as seen in some other brooding marine invertebrates. Once the eggs are shed through the oral gonopores, the brooding parent spirals its arms around a raised oral disc, under which the embryos are brooded until they emerge as free-crawling juveniles.

Eniaios

Eniaios is a 22-part silent avant-garde film by Gregory Markopoulos, completed in 1991 and released in parts starting in 2004. The film is made from previous released and unreleased films by Markopoulos, arranged into 22 orders totaling 80 hours of footage. An extensive restoration effort on the film began several years after Markopoulos's death in 1992, and as prints of each order have been created, they have been presented in an ongoing premiere, taking place every four years at a remote site near Lyssarea, Greece. Production Markopoulos had the idea for Eniaios in 1974, conceiving of a "complete order" of his films. In April 1987 he began focusing on re-editing them. Eniaios contains footage from his previously released works, as well as 67 unreleased films. Markopoulos completed Eniaios in Switzerland in 1991, with the entire work comprising 80 hours of footage. Markopoulos's editing aimed to completely isolate the images from his work. He removed the sound from his films, as well as effects which combine images like superimpositions or dissolves. Clear or black leader separates distinct images, such that they never touch. Each image is sustained for no more than a few frames. The brief articulation of an image leaves a lingering afterimage which may interact with the following image. The limited perceptibility of the images, due to the short durations and use of flipped images, is offset through repetition. Release The Temenos During the late 1960s, Markopoulos had begun to envision a pilgrimage site for the purpose of screening films. His 1968 article "Towards a Constructive Complex in Projection" developed this idea, describing it as something similar to a Greek amphitheatre with multiple screens. Critic P. Adams Sitney contrasts the development of this concept with the establishment of Anthology Film Archives in 1970. Markopoulos examined potential locations during the 1970s. He considered two villages in Switzerland, Disentis in the Rhine valley and Lü in Val Müstair, but was concerned that they did not have the "Greek Spirit". After plans fell through for an event at a grove near Tripoli, Markopoulos held the first Temenos screening at Rayi Spartias in 1980. The site was located near his ancestral village of Lyssarea, located in the Arcadian highlands. He began to screen his films exclusively at Rayi Spartias and called the site a temenos, in reference to Ancient Greek religious practices. Restoration and screenings After Markopoulos's death in 1992, there had been little critical attention toward his work for years. His partner Robert Beavers began showing Markopoulos's films and formed a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and distributing them. Several museums held retrospectives, and critic P. Adams Sitney included a chapter about Markopoulos, previously removed at Markopoulos's request, in a 2002 revised edition of his book Visionary Film. The splices in the original copy of Eniaios became unglued and required an extensive reconstruction effort so it could be printed and screened. Beavers began the restoration in 2000, at Janice Allen's Cinema Arts laboratory in Pennsylvania. The first screening of Eniaios took place on June 25 to June 27, 2004, during which the first three orders were presented. It was held at an outdoor cinema set up an open field, with a screen, projector, beanbags, and benches. The event was attended by 100–200 people who had travelled to the site. Since then, screenings have been planned at Rayi Spartias on a quadrennial basis, with the 2020 screening delayed to 2022 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The time between screenings has been dictated by the high cost of creating prints, nearly $30,000 for each order. Funding has come from the distribution income of Markopoulos's and Beavers' films, private donations, and grants. After the first screening, restoration work began at Temenos Archive in Uster, Switzerland, which now holds Markopoulos's films. Restoration efforts moved in 2015 to a studio in Berlin.

French ironclad Jemmapes

Jemmapes was the lead ship of a class of two coastal defense ships built for the French Navy () in the 1890s. Launched in 1892, the vessel joined the Northern Squadron of the French Navy () at Brest. Armed with a main armament of two guns, the vessel was designed within the principles of the . The ship joined the Northern Squadron, which was called, "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea". Jemmapes took part in a large naval exercise in 1895 but otherwise had an uneventful career as French naval doctrine moved from a fleet of smaller coastal defense ships to larger ocean-going battleships. The ship was decommissioned in 1910 and served as a hulk before being sold in 1927 to be broken up. Design and description thumb|left|alt=Cutaway of the Jemmapes class from Brassey's Naval Annual|Plan view of the Jemmapes class A larger and more capable design based on the launched in 1883, Jemmapes was the lead ship of a class of two coastal defense ships designed by de Bussy for the French Navy () as part of a wider adoption of the principles of . The design was to have a similar level of armament, armour, draught and fuel storage as the preceding design but with a more modern powerplant based on Belleville boilers that would provide an increase in speed to . The design proposal was accepted by the Board of Construction () on 26 February 1889, finalised on 2 July and approved by the Minister of the Navy () Jules François Émile Krantz on 6 July. Jemmapes had an overall length of , at the waterline and between perpendiculars, a beam of at the waterline and a mean draught of at deep load. The vessel displaced and had a ship's complement that numbered 299 sailors of all ranks. Jemmapes was powered by two triple-expansion steam engines that each drove one propeller shaft using steam provided by 16 Lagrafel and d'Allest Belleville boilers. The engine was rated at at 108rpm. While undertaking sea trials, Jemmapes reached a speed of from . In service, speed was restricted as a bow wave was created at which, by became impossible to push forward, meaning this became the de facto maximum speed. The ship carried of coal, which gave a range of at a cruising speed of . The maximum load of coal was . Once in service, a range of at was claimed. Jemmapes carried a main battery of two Canon de Modèle 1887 guns in a two single-gun turrets, one forward of the superstructure and the other aft. The guns were manually-loaded and fired one round every five minutes, but this was sped up between 1900 and 1902 with new equipment. Secondary armament was provided by four 45-calibre M1891 QF guns mounted at the corners of the shelter deck. Defence from torpedo boats was provided by six Canon de Modèle 1885 Hotchkiss guns and eight Hotchkiss revolving cannon. The ship had a full-length waterline armor belt that tapered from the maximum thickness of amidships to aft and forward. The belt was high amidships. The armor was hammered steel on the port side and compound armor on the starboard. The turrets were protected by thick compound armor that was mounted on fixed bases thick while the gun shields for the secondary armament was provided by hammered steel armor thick. The main deck was protected by thick iron plates. The laminated steel plates protecting the conning tower measured in thickness. Construction and career Ordered on 18 December 1889 from Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire of Saint-Nazaire and Saint-Denis, Jemmapes was laid down on 26 December, and launched on 27 April 1892. The vessel cost £525,000. The ship's machinery was fully installed on 3 July 1893 and the vessel was moved to Brest on 24 December. Initially commissioned for trials on 19 January 1884, Jemmapes had to wait until her machinery was accepted on 31 January the following year before being fully commissioned on 4 March. She joined the Northern Squadron () of the French Navy 12 days later. On 12 March, as part of the naval budget debate, Vice Admiral Armand Bernard declared that the squadron, which included three other ships alongside Jemmapes, was "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea". They were considered more than equal to their smaller German contemporaries, the and . Jemmapes had a generally uneventful career. Between 1 and 23 July 1895, the vessel took part in a large naval exercise in the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Northern Squadron. The manoeuvres included a forced landing at Quiberon and a mock blockade and attack on Cherbourg and Rochefort. The vessel served as part of the defending force, which was successful in resisting the attack. The ship also took part in the maneuvers the following year, conducted from 6 to 26 July in conjunction with the local defense forces of Brest, Rochefort, Cherbourg, and Lorient. The squadron was divided into three divisions for the maneuvers, and Jemmapes was assigned to the 2nd Division along with her sister ship , the cruiser and the aviso , which represented part of the defending French squadron. At the end of the century, the vessel was part of the Coastal Defence Division alongside the ironclads , and Valmy. Meanwhile, French naval doctrine was changing and the focus on coastal defense was being replaced by one of larger sea-going warships. The size of ships was also increasing, and newer, more capable battleships entered service. Jemmapes was transferred to reserve at Cherbourg between 1902 and 20 September 1909, returning to service at Brest for just over two months before being briefly transferred to Rochefort on 9 December. The vessel was decommissioned at Rochefort on 22 March 1910 and struck on 3 August. Jemmapes served as a hulk for more than a decade until she was sold to Société Goldenberg on 5 November 1927 to be broken up.

Poecilia vandepolli

Poecilia vandepolli, or Van de Poll's molly, is a poeciliid fish native to the Lesser Antilles. A euryhaline species, it is one of the most common fish in its range, inhabiting fresh, brackish, salt, and hypersaline waters. The fish vary significantly in size and color depending mostly on the salinity of their environment. The saltwater specimens grow faster and become more robust and more colorful, but the species is drawn to freshwater habitats, which disappear in each dry season and must be recolonized when the rains return. The species feeds on algae, biofilm, and aquatic invertebrates. Females give birth to live fry. Cannibalism of the fry is common when food is scarce. Taxonomy Poecilia vandepolli was originally described by Van Lidth de Jeude in 1887. He simultaneously described the subspecies P. vandepolli arubensis, but this taxon has not been recognized by later researchers. Hubbs considered P. vandepolli a subspecies of P. sphenops. In 1963, Rosen and Bailey challenged the validity of this and other short-fin molly species and made them synonyms for P. sphenops. Poeser resurrected P. vandepolli as a separate species in 1992. A genetic analysis in 2016 confirmed that P. vandepolli is a distinct species. There is no officially recorded common name for the species. Proposed common names include Van de Poll's molly, orange-tail molly, and Dutch-Antillean molly. On the islands of Aruba and Curaçao, where it is native, it is known simply as "molly" and machuri, respectively. The ancestral form of P. vandepolli diverged approximately 150,000 years ago when the Lesser Antilles, which the species inhabits today, were connected to mainland Venezuela. Based on the similarities between the two species noted by Hubbs, Poeser considered P. vandepolli to have common ancestry with P. vivipara from South America. The 2016 genetic study, however, has shown that the species most closely related to P. vanderpolli are the Central American P. mexicana, P. gillii, and P. sulphuraria. Description P. vandepolli is variable, or polymorphic, in many respects. Sexually mature females normally reach 30–45 mm in standard length, while males grow to 25–35 mm SL. Though these measurements place them among the smaller mollies, large specimens are sometimes encountered as well: a 72.7 mm SL female and a 51.9 SL male have been reported. These size variations pertain to distinct populations. The fish vary in color as well, even within the same population. Males are more intensely colored than females and have a larger dorsal fin. The physical differences between populations are the result of varying ecological conditions, especially salinity. The specimens living in marine habitats have larger bodies, longer dorsal fins, and stronger coloration. Their caudal peduncle is stronger, allowing them a better maneuver against large waves and tidal fluxes. They also exhibit more orange coloration, especially in their dorsal and caudal fins, and more black spots in the caudal fin. The freshwater fish are cream to light yellow. A black band may be present on the dorsal fin in freshwater males, as may a humeral blotch. Individuals from brackish habitats resemble those from fresh waters but never have a humeral blotch. Distribution and habitats P. vandepolli is native to the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao (ABC islands). It is a euryhaline species: it inhabits freshwater, brackish, saltwater, and hypersaline coastal habitats. It is also found in the freshwater habitats of the island of Saint Martin, but was probably introduced there by Dutch settlers. P. vandepolli is one of the most common fish species found in the coastal habitats across the Lesser Antilles and is found in nearly all freshwater localities. It is one of only five native species inhabiting the fresh waters of Aruba, the others including the American eel (Anguilla rostrata) and the mountain mullet (Dajaus monticola), and is by far the most abundant and dominant along with the invasive Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Occurrences have been reported from mainland Venezuela, including the Lake Maracaibo river estuary, but the validity of these collection records remains unconfirmed. The molly is widespread in rivulets and freshwater ponds on the Lesser Antilles. Most of these vanish during the dry season, essentially purging the islands of freshwater animals. Once the torrential rain flooding commences, the chemical cue from the surface runoff laden with terrestrial organic compounds attracts the mollies from the sea to colonize the reemergent freshwater systems, where they reproduce quickly. The mollies are likewise common in sheltered lagoons and inner bays, particularly in localities with mangroves. Their population in these saltwater habitats is small, likely due to high predation, but crucial because of its stability. Ecology P. vandepolli prefers to feed on unicellular and other small algae, biofilm, and aquatic insects. When food becomes scarce, Vandepoll's mollies may take plankton and Artemia. Stomach content analyses show that cannibalistic adults eat fry when food is lacking. The pupfish Cyprinodon dearborni, which can also live in all salinities, shares the molly's dietary habits and is a major competitor. They may only coexist if their habitat has a connection to the sea; if the habitat is cut off, one of the species vanishes. In confined water bodies population density is kept down by a lack of food: most offspring starve or fall prey to adults. In sea the molly is heavily predated on by other fish. Freshwater and supersaline habitats are generally free of predators, but on Curaçao birds and trematodes prey on the mollies. Bird predators include egrets and pelicans. Reproduction P. vandepolli is a ovoviparous livebearer. Small females produce about 10 live fry per litter; particularly large ones may produce over 100. Newborn fry measure 8-9 mm. Their growth is faster in the sea than in fresh wataer and slowest in hypersaline environments. Adults readily predate on their own offspring. The females usually outnumber the males 2:1, sometimes less. Fishkeeping thumb|A saltwater male exhibiting numerous blotches of black and orange P. vandepolli is easy to care for in a home aquarium and will breed readily. It demands plenty of space on account of its activity as well as warm water. Its ability to intensify its orange coloration after a high-carotenoid diet, and the existence of highly-blotched specimens, might quality the species for ornamental fish trade.

Josef Plojhar

Josef Plojhar (2 March 1902 – 5 November 1981) was a Czech and Czechoslovak Roman Catholic priest and politician. He served as Minister of Health between 1948 and 1968, and also chaired the Peace Movement of Catholic Priests from 1948 to 1968. Biography Plojhar was born in České Budějovice to a German-Czech family. He received his secondary education at a German gymnasium in his hometown and was active in German student associations; his nationality was also listed as German when he was ordained a priest. Plojhar considered himself to be of Czech nationality from the early 1930s, when he joined the Czechoslovak People's Party (ČSL). After being ordained to priesthood in 1925, Plojhar started working in the administration of the Diocese of České Budějovice. Until 1939, he was a chaplain in the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in České Budějovice, and from March of that year in an administrative position of the parish of Rudolfov. He also wrote several works on religion, including a treatise on the stigmatic Therese Neumann shortly after his ordination, and in 1930 a pamphlet on the International Eucharistic Congress in Carthage, which he attended. After World War II, he produced several theological works on the relationship between Catholicism and communism. After the occupation of the Czech lands by Nazi Germany in 1939, Plojhar was arrested by the Germans; from September 1939 until 1945, he was imprisoned in the concentration camps Buchenwald and Dachau. After liberation, he shortly resumed work as a priest in České Budějovice before being elected to the Interim National Assembly for the ČSL; he remained a deputy of the succeeding Constituent National Assembly, and then of the National Assembly, until 1960. In the post-war period, Plojhar emerged as a leader of the left-wing of the ČSL, supporting cooperation with the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ). After being expelled from the ČSL by the right-wing majority, he and other members of the left-wing faction took control of the party secretariat and reorganized it, openly aligning it with the KSČ. After the coup d'état in February 1948, Plojhar was appointed Minister of Health in Klement Gottwald's government; he would retain this position in several governments until 1968, making him the longest-serving minister in the history of Czechoslovakia. As a Catholic priest, Plojhar was also active in establishing and heading an organization of ”progressive priests”. The organization existed in several forms and names; first as the Movement of Catholic Priests between 1948 and 1951, and then as the National Committee of Catholic Priests and finally the Peace Movement of Catholic Priests between 1951 and 1968. In response, Plojhar was excommunicated by the Holy See in the summer of 1949. In addition, Plojhar served as vice-president in 1948–1951 and then as president in 1951–1968 of the ČSL, and as vice-president of the Association of Czechoslovak–Soviet Friendship in 1952–1970. During the Prague Spring in 1968, Plojhar was removed from his position as Minister of Health, as well as from his position as president of the ČSL. After the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia and the following period of normalization, he again became president of the ČSL on an honorary basis, and also came to serve as a deputy to the Chamber of the People of the Federal Assembly from 1971 until his death. Plojhar died during a reception at the Soviet embassy in Prague in celebration of the anniversary of the October Revolution in 1981. Cardinal František Tomášek, at the time Archbishop of Prague, was offered to conduct a Catholic ceremony for Plojhar, but refused; the ceremony was conducted by another Catholic priest.

Mutsindozi River

The Mutsindozi River () is a river in southeastern Burundi, a tributary of the Malagarasi River. Course The Mutsindozi River forms to the north of Muyaga on the border between Makamba Province to the south and Rutana Province to the north. It flows east, defining this border, to its junction with the Malagarasi River on the border between Burundi and Tanzania. The river is in the Mosso-Malagarazi depression, which has forest galleries in wooded fringes along the watercourses. Environment The surroundings of the Mutsindozi River are mainly savannah forest. The area is quite densely populated, with 80 inhabitants per square kilometer as of 2016. The average annual temperature in the area is . The warmest month is August, when the average temperature is , and the coldest is April, with . Average annual rainfall is . The wettest month is March, with an average of of precipitation, and the driest is July, with of precipitation. Marshes The Mutsindozi-Malagarazi marsh subsystem is formed by two branches of the Mutsindozi River, flowing into the Malagarazi River. The first branch is that of the Kirombwe River which crosses a large papyrus grove in its lower course at the level of before flowing into the Malagarazi River. The marshes include the Kirombwe Marsh, Kumutongotongo Marsh and Rwabira Marsh. The Kayogoro Marshes are in the valley of the Buga Colline between the Kirombwe River, a tributary of the Mutsindozi, and the Malagarazi. The water of these rivers rises in the rainy season after October and floods the whole valley. When the water recedes in May, crops of rice, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, beans, onions and vegetables are grown in the marsh. Sugar The Mutsindozi River supplies water to the Moso sugar project in Rutana Province, which was included in Burundi's third five-year economic and social development plan in the early 1970s, but began construction in 1986. It is run by the Moso Sugar Company (SOSUMO), founded in 1982. The project is in the Moso natural region. See also List of rivers of Burundi References Sources Category:Rivers of Burundi

Santa Clara Beltway

The Santa Clara Beltway is a ring road encircling the city of Santa Clara, Cuba. The road is 2 lanes on both sides, with a central divider in the middle. It is commonly known as simply the Circunvalación de Santa Clara (Santa Clara Beltway), although officially its split into the Circunvalación Norte and Circunvalación Sur (North Beltway and South Beltway). History After the Cuban Revolution, the beltway was created, along with other roads being made, including making the Avenida 26 de Julio into a 2 lane road on both sides, and later, making access to the Autopista Nacional. Safety In 2015, both the Circunvalación Norte and Circunvalación Sur were considered two of the 22 dangerous sections in Villa Clara Province, with the Circunvalación Norte having 14 accidents, two deaths, and 17 people injured, and the Circunvalación Sur having 9 accidents and 6 people injured. In 2019, the section of the road coming in between the roundabouts of Santa Clara–Sagua Road and the Carretera de Maleza was inspected, and was found to be in need of minor fixes, including fissures and low severity cracks, along with not enough road signs along the section of the road. In 2022, a cyclist died on the road due to a resident in a Peugeot speeding at an estimate per hour. Later the same year, a car fell roof first into the Belico River bridge due to a technical failure of the vehicle, with two people inside only one person fainted and the other seemed to be fine. During tourist seasons, it is known for the road, and the region in general, to be more unsafe, with an accident happening in summer 2024, at the roundabout with the Carretera Central, to Esperanza, in front of the 12 plantas building in Santa Clara.

Terry O'Malley Seidler

Therese "Terry" O'Malley Seidler (born May 16, 1933) is an American former baseball owner and executive who owned the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1979 to 1997, alongside her brother Peter O'Malley. She is one of a few women to serve as the principle owner of a Major League Baseball team, inheriting half the team after the death of her father Walter O'Malley. Early life Born Therese "Terry" O'Malley in New York City on May 16, 1933, she was the eldest child of Katherine "Kay" () and Walter O'Malley. Her younger brother, Peter, was born in 1937. She spent her early life split between Amityville, New York and Brooklyn. O'Malley attended Froebel Academy and graduated from St. Francis Xavier Academy in Brooklyn. She enrolled in College of New Rochelle where she was elected freshman class president and Mission Queen as a senior, played basketball and softball and was a member of the student council in 1953–1954. In Amityville, she was a member of the Narrasketuck Yacht Club where she took part in sailboat racing. Her hobbies also included ice-skating and swimming. Career Upon graduating from college, O'Malley served as executive secretary for the Dodgertown Summer Camp for Boys in Vero Beach, Florida for three summers. When the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, O'Malley moved to California with her family. She worked as her father's personal secretary. After marriage to Roland Seidler, Terry devoted herself to her family. In 1978, she returned to the Dodgers executive office and served on their Board of Directors. She and Peter O'Malley, who had been serving as President of the team for a few years, inherited the team outright upon the death of their father in 1979. In 1981, Seidler was named secretary of the Dodgers Board of Directors in 1981, continuing in that role through 1998, when the O'Malley's sold the team to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. On the 50th anniversary of the opening of Dodger Stadium, April 10, 2012, Seidler threw out the ceremonial first pitch. On the stadium's inaugural opening day, her mother Kay had thrown the ceremonial first pitch. Historic Dodgertown In 2012, Seidler and O'Malley both joined efforts to buy Dodgertown, the Dodger's spring training facility in Vero Beach, Florida until they moved to Camelback Ranch in Arizona. The old facility was about to be torn down due to Indian River County's inability to find a willing tennant. The facility was turned into a year-round multi-sport training and conference center. Thanks to the efforts of the O'Malleys, Historic Dodgertown became a Florida Heritage Landmark on November 10, 2014. Personal life Seidler married Los Angeles-native and businessman Roland "Rollie" Seidler in October 1958. They had met earlier that year, during a doubleheader between the Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies at the Los Angeles Coliseum on May 4. The couple remained married until his death in June 2008 at their home in Pasadena, California. They had ten children together, including Peter Seidler, who was the principle owner of the San Diego Padres until his death in 2023.

Chilean peso (1817–1960)

The Chilean peso (symbol: $) was the legal tender of Chile from 1817 until 1960, when it was replaced by the escudo, a currency that was itself replaced in 1975 by a new peso. It was established in 1817, together with the country's independence, and in 1851 the decimal system was established in the peso, which was made up of 100 centavos. It remained legal tender in Chile until 1 January 1960, when it was replaced by the escudo. It was manufactured by the Mint of Chile (1743) and regulated by the Central Bank of Chile (1925), in charge of controlling the amount of money in circulation. History Although the adoption of the peso to replace the colonial real dates back to 1817, with the beginning of the New Fatherland period, the Spanish currency system continued to be used, in which 8 reales were equal to 1 peso and 2 pesos to 1 escudo. In 1835, copper coins denominated in centavos were introduced, but it was not until 1851 that the real and escudo denominations ceased to be issued and new issues in centavos and diezmos (worth 10 centavos) began. The custom of using the old Spanish monetary system persisted in Chile until January 9, 1851, when the decimal system was adopted by law, in which 1 peso was made up of 10 diezmos or 100 centavos. Also in 1851, the peso was set at 5 French francs, or 22.5 grams of pure silver. However, gold coins were issued to a different standard than in France, with 1 peso equal to 1.37 grams of gold (5 francs equaled 1.45 grams of gold). A gold standard was adopted in 1885, pegging the peso to the British pound sterling at a rate of 13+1⁄3 pesos = 1 pound (1 peso = 1 shilling and 6 pence); this was reduced in 1926 to 40 pesos = 1 pound (1 peso = 6 pence). In 1925, money circulation was controlled by the newly created Central Bank of Chile. The Monetary Law, published in the Official Gazette on September 16 of that year, established the peso as containing 6 pence of gold and that 10 peso units would constitute "one condor"; It was also established that every coin of 10 pesos or more would have its value in pesos stamped in letters and numbers, and its equivalent in condors in smaller letters. Beginning in 1932, the value of the peso began to gradually decline, and by the 1940s, inflation began to increase rapidly; as a result, Law 11885 of September 15, 1955 established that all obligations would be paid in whole pesos, without cents. In the context of a policy of national economic sanitation and inflationary control undertaken by the government of Jorge Alessandri, between 1960 and 1975 the peso was replaced by the escudo (Eº).​ The conversion rate was 1000 pesos for 1 escudo. Coins Between 1817 and 1851, silver coins were issued in denominations of , , 1, and 2 reales and 1 peso (also denominated 8 reales), with gold coins for 1, 2, 4, and 8 escudos. In 1835, copper and 1 centavo coins were issued. A full decimal coinage was introduced between 1851 and 1853, consisting of copper and 1 centavo, silver and 1 décimo (5 and 10 centavos), 20 and 50 centavos, and 1 peso, and gold 5 and 10 pesos. In 1860, gold 1 peso coins were introduced, followed by cupronickel , 1 and 2 centavos between 1870 and 1871. Copper coins for these denominations were reintroduced between 1878 and 1883, with copper centavos added in 1886. A new gold coinage was introduced in 1895, reflecting the lower gold standard, with coins for 2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. In 1896, the and 1 décimo were replaced by 5 and 10 centavo coins. In 1907, a short-lived, silver 40 centavo coin was introduced following cessation of production of the 50 centavo coin. In 1919, the last of the copper coins (1 and 2 centavos) were issued. The following year, cupronickel replaced silver in the 5, 10 and 20 centavo coins. A final gold coinage was introduced in 1926, in denominations of 20, 50 and 100 pesos. In 1927, silver 2 and 5 peso coins were issued. Cupronickel 1 peso coins were introduced in 1933, replacing the last of the silver coins. In 1942, copper 20 and 50 centavos and 1 peso coins were introduced. The last coins of the first peso were issued between 1954 and 1959. These were aluminum 1, 5 and 10 pesos. Gold bullion coins with nominals in 100 pesos were minted between 1932 and 1980 (i.e. they survived into the periods of two later currencies). In addition, there was a special issue of gold coins (100, 200 and 500 pesos) in 1968. Coins issued in values of 5 and 10 pesos from 1956 onwards, as well as bullion coins of 20, 50 and 100 pesos issued from 1925 to 1980 (exceeding the validity of this monetary standard by 20 years) also bring such equivalence in condors, being 10 pesos per condor. Banknotes The first Chilean paper money was issued between 1840 and 1844 by the treasury of the province of Valdivia, in denominations of 4 and 8 reales. In the 1870s, a number of private banks began issuing paper money, including the Banco Agrícola, the Banco de la Alianza, the Banco de Concepción, the Banco Consolidado de Chile, the Banco de A. Edwards y Cía., the Banco de Escobar, Ossa y Cía., the Banco Mobiliario, the Banco Nacional de Chile, the Banco del Pobre, the Banco Sud Americano, the Banco del Sur, the Banco de la Unión, and the Banco de Valparaíso. Others followed in the 1880s and 1890s. Denominations included 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 pesos. One bank, the Banco de A. Edwards y Cía., also issued notes denominated in pounds sterling (libra esterlina). In 1881, the government issued paper money convertible into silver or gold, in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 pesos. 50 centavo notes were added in 1891 and 500 pesos in 1912. In 1898, provisional issues were made by the government, consisting of private bank notes overprinted with the words "Emisión Fiscal". This marked the end of the production of private paper money. In 1925, the Banco Central de Chile began issuing notes. The first, in denominations of 5, 10, 50, 100, and 1000 pesos, were overprints on government notes. In 1927, notes marked as "Billete Provisional" were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 pesos. Regular were introduced between 1931 and 1933, in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10,000 pesos. The 1 and 20 peso notes stopped production in 1943 and 1947, respectively. The remaining denominations continued production until 1959, with a 50,000-peso note added in 1958. Notes issued after 1925 show the equivalence in condors, which was at the rate of 10 pesos per condor.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fifth region. District territory Michoacán lost its 12th district in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the eighth district covers 169 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-west sector of the municipality of Morelia. The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Morelia. Previous districting schemes 2017–2022 Between 2017 and 2022, the district's head town was at Morelia and it comprised 130 precincts in the north-west of the municipality of Morelia. 2005–2017 Under the 2005 districting plan, Michoacán lost its 13th district. The eighth district's head town was at Morelia and it covered 145 precincts in the north and west of the municipality.

Ce Mă Fac Cu Tine de Azi?

"Ce Mă Fac Cu Tine de Azi?" (; (What am I supposed to do with you from now on?)) is a single by Romanian singer Smiley featuring Guess Who from the album Confesiune released on April 10, 2017. The song peaked at number one in the Romania Top 20 charts, spending thirteen weeks there. Music video The music video of the song was released alongside the song itself on September 10, 2017, and was directed and produced by Smiley alongside HaHaHa Production staff. The video was shot in a black & white cromatic style on the outskirts of Bucharest. It starts by showing main artist Smiley walking on an empty country road from the middle of a crop field, seemingly pulling something after him. The video then shows that he is in fact pulling one of his doubles by a long strip of cloth with the camera frequently changing the special effect several times in a continuous cycle. The effect ends by showing secondary artist of the song Guess Who continuing the pulldown as he builds the rapping part of the lyrics. Then the video shows Guess Who pulling a girl after him, frequently exhanging his spot with Smiley another several times. Suddenly, the video shows Smiley pulling the empty sheet as both the girl (presumably his loved one) and Guess Who vanish from the scene. He layes the sheet on the ground and stands on it, just to find himself pulled again by his body double. The video ends by showing him again pulling the empty sheet. Song concept The message of the song talks about relationships apparently destroyed, but actually unfinished. Through the lyrics, Smiley explained that "he imagined how nice it would be if we could manage to express unspoken things with the people next to us, because after all, that's the really important thing in life. The quality of our life is the data of the quality of the relationships we have with the people around us".

A. Arthur Schiller

Abraham Arthur Schiller (September 7, 1902, Oneonta, New York - July 10, 1977) was an American classical scholar. Career Schiller earned his A.B. degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1924, both an M.A. and J.D. there in 1926, and then was awarded a fellowship at Columbia University (1926–1928), which named him an assistant professor in 1928.See Database of Classical Scholars, note 1 above and A.A. Schiller, at 74, Retired Law Expert," note 3 above. In 1929 Schiller traveled to Munich to study Roman law with Max Radin and Coptic legal texts with Wilhelm Spiegelberg, and while there Schiller also participated in a seminar offered by Leopold Wenger.Seidl, note 3 above. Columbia granted Schiller a J.D. in 1932, made him an associate professor in 1937, bestowed a full professorship upon him in 1949, and when Schiller retired in 1971, Columbia named him professor emeritus. Schiller's first major contribution to scholarship was his J.D. thesis on Coptic law.Ten Coptic Legal Texts, (Columbia, 1932). For an extensive bibliography of Schiller's writings, see Database of Classical Scholars, note 1 above. However, he soon displayed the intellectual curiosity and its that characterized his entire career by writing well-regarded work in such disparate fields as Roman law, U.S. military law, Greek papyrology, agency law, and the Adat law of Indonesia, among others. Moreover, towards the end of his career Schiller "became the first American law professor to immerse himself in the study of African law,"Robert Hellawell, "In Memoriam, A. Arthur Schiller, 1903-1977," African Law Studies, vol. 15, p. 3 (1977) and subsequently "virtually originated African law studies in the United States." In furtherance of the field of African legal studies, he created the African Law Digest and founded Columbia's African Law Center.Robert B. Seidman, "In Memoriam, A. Arthur Schiller, 1903-1977," African Law Studies, vol. 15, p. 3 (1977). Due to Schiller's interest and expertise in African law, he was made a United Nations legal counsel for the purpose of writing a constitution for Eritrea,[Columbia] Summer Spectator, Friday, July 15, 1977, p.2, Columbia Spectator Archive, https://spectatorarchive/library.columbia.edu. and he helped train Peace Corps volunteers being assigned to many African nations. Schiller was a member of numerous scholarly organizations, including the Accademia dei Lincei, the Societe Internationale de Droits de L'Antique, and the Riccobono Seminar.A.A. Schiller, at 74, Retired Law Expert," note 1 above. See also "A. Arthur Schiller," German Wikipedia, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Arthur_Schiller Schiller's high standing in academia also resulted in his being a guest lecture and visiting professor in numerous universities around the world. In addition, Schiller was awarded three Guggenheim Fellowships, two Fulbright grants, a Rockefeller Fellowship, and, finally, shortly before he died, Schiller was granted a year's residence at Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Study. However, despite Schiller's great scholarly success, he "carried his learning easily . . . remain[ing] the most open minded and approachable of scholars," whose "many kindnesses to his colleagues, and his students, and his unqualified empathy for Africans, made it inevitable that he would be deeply loved by all who had contact with him. Schiller died from cancer in at the Fox Memorial Hospital in Oneonta in 1977, at age 74, leaving behind his wife, the former Erna Kaske, and two sons, Donald C. and Dr. Jerome K. Schiller.

Military Museum of the Armed Forces of El Salvador

The Military Museum of the Armed Forces of El Salvador () is located in San Salvador, El Salvador. The museum is housed inside the former El Zapote barracks () of the Salvadoran Army. The museum is owned by the Ministry of National Defense. History In 1898, the Salvadoran Army selected a hill in San Salvador to begin construction of a metal galley, and later a wooden structure, to house soldiers of the Legion of Freedom. In 1918, the army commissioned architect Borromeo Flores to construct barracks for the soldiers. Sapote trees grew on the hill the barracks were built on, and it was subsequently named "El Zapote". During the barracks' usage by the army, it served as the operational headquarters for the 1st Artillery Regiment and later the Armed Forces Transmission Support Command. On 16 June 1993, the Salvadoran president Alfredo Cristiani and minister of national defense René Emilio Ponce issued Decree Number 65 which transformed the El Zapote barracks into a military museum under the administration of the Ministry of National Defense. The museum opened to the public on 6 September 2002. On 7 January 2003, the remains of Manuel José Arce, a Salvadoran politician who served as the first president of the Federal Republic of Central America from 1825 to 1829, were interred at the military museum. Displays The museum has several vehicles, aircraft, and up to 35,000 pieces of military equipment — including uniforms, documents, photographs, paintings, insignia patches, statues, and flags — on display. The popemobile used by Pope John Paul II during his 1996 visit to El Salvador and a 1:25000-scale relief map of El Salvador are also on display at the museum. The Memorial Plaza of National Sovereignty and the Commemorative Monument of the Salvadoran Leaders of Central American Independence are located at the military museum. These objects are displayed across several exhibition rooms covering certain periods of Salvadoran military history. The museum initially opened with twelve display rooms, but this was later reduced to ten and several were renamed. The museum is located at the intersection of 10 Avenida Sur and Calle Alberto Sánchez in the San Jacinto neighborhood of San Salvador. It is located adjacent to the former presidential palace of El Salvador used until 2001. The museum's mission is to "Preserve, Research, and disseminate the historical and cultural heritage of the Armed Forces of El Salvador" ("") The museum is open year-round and admission is free.

The siege of Igueriben was a clash between the Rif tribes of Abd el-Krim and the Spanish army, from 16 to July 21, 1921, in the Spanish base of Igueriben where they were besieged by forces of Abd el-Krim. The clash ended with the victory of Abd el-Krim's forces. wiping out the Spanish contingent. Background During the Rif war, the Spanish general, Manuel Fernández Silvestre, was operating on the eastern zone of the Spanish colony in Rif. The region was dominated by the Rif mountains and their tribes, proving a serious obstacle to Silvestre's forces. On January 21, 1921, the Spanish took Annual as their base. Not all Riffian tribes submitted to the Spanish rule. Abd el-Krim and his brother determined to stop the colonization process.José E. Álvarez, p. 42 In late May, the Riffian forces assaulted the base of Abarrán, which they captured. A minor defeats would soon follow up with the debacle at Annual.José E. Álvarez, p. 42 Siege left|thumb|230px|Monument to Commander Benitez and the Heroes of Igueriben The next Spanish base was attacked at Igueriben on July 16. Located three miles from Annual where it was quickly surrounded and cut off from Annual.José E. Álvarez, p. 42 The commander of the base was Major Julio Benitez. The defenses were weak and incomplete, but the Major refused to surrender, preferring to die instead. Messages were dispatched from General Navarro, second-in-command to Silvestre, encouraging the garrison fight. His men fought valiantly, but their water supplies were three miles away from Annual. As the battle raged on, and the heat striking the troops, they were forced to drink juice from used pimiento and tomato tins, then vinegar, cologne, and ink, and finally even urine with sugar in it. At Annual, they dispatched a relief column which they got close to the base where were seen by the garrison. However, the only access to the base was through a deep gorge heavily defended by the Riffians. They were repelled by machine guns and heavy artillery,David S. Woolman, p. 90José E.

Sarah Wise

Sarah Wise (born ca. 1966) is an English journalist, academic guest lecturer, tutor, and author of books on 19th-century social history for the general reader. In 1984 Sarah Wise matriculated at the University of Southampton, where she graduated in 1988 with a B.A. in English literature. She was from January to June 1985 an exchange student with Rutgers University in New Jersey, thus giving her an excellent opportunity at the age of 19 to explore New York City. After graduating from the University of Southampton, she became a journalist, working in production for the magazine Marie Claire, which launched its UK print edition in 1988. After becoming Marie Claire'''s chief sub-editor and production editor, she resigned to pursue a career as a freelance journalist with a focus on the arts. She wrote articles for The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The Observer Magazine, and The Times, as well as other newspapers and magazines. While working as a freelance journalist, she attended evening classes as part of a joint honours course offered by the English and history departments of Birkbeck College, University of London. The course was for an M.A. in Victorian Studies. While researching her essays for the M.A., she became familiar with the historical incidents that became the basis for her first two books. She completed her M.A. degree in 1996. At the age of 23, Sarah Wise began her career as a freelance journalist, living in London. Throughout her career she has written with a strong focus on the reader, or readership, that she keeps in her mind. Her idea of the reader in her audience arises from her thinking about someone, perhaps a close friend, who is "intelligent, open-minded, curious, but without any specialised knowledge." In 2004, her first book The Italian Boy: Murder and Grave-Robbery in 1830s London was published by Jonathan Cape. The book won the 2004 Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction of the Crime Writers’ Association and was shortlisted for the 2005 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. The 2004 book was the inspiration for The Frankenstein Chronicles, aired on ITV Encore in November 2005. Her second book The Blackest Streets: The Life and Death of a Victorian Slum (2008, The Bodley Head) was shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize of the Royal Society of Literature. Wise's second book was part of the historical basis for the television series Victorian Slum House, aired by the BBC in May 2017. Her third book Inconvenient People: Lunacy, Liberty and the Mad-Doctors in Victorian England (2012, The Bodley Head) was shortlisted for the 2014 Wellcome Book Prize of the Wellcome Trust. Her fourth book The Undesirables: The Law that Locked Away a Generation was published in early 2024. She contributed a chapter to the best-selling book Charles Booth's London Poverty Maps'', edited by Mary S. Morgan. Wise was a guest on Radio 4's In Our Time to talk about Charles Booth's work related to poverty and social reform in London. She has also appeared on the BBC's television series ‘'Who Do You Think You Are?’' as a history expert. Her interests include the working classes in Victorian England, London in fictional literature from the early 1800s, the slum fiction of the late 1800s, 19th-century mental health history, and Victorian literature's portrayals of altered mental states. Sarah Wise teaches writing techniques and 19th-century social history and related literature to both undergraduates and older adult learners. She is a visiting professor in the University of California English for Academic Purposes (UCEAP) program of the London Study Center. At City University of London, when she teaches literary criticism on the Creative Writing Non-Fiction Masters, she emphasises to her students two main rules: "never bore your reader; and don’t confuse your reader".

Freshwater aquarium algae

thumb|250px|Various examples of aquatic hitchhiking algae that may be found in freshwater aquaria There are many types of algae that are commonly found in a freshwater aquarium setting. They are typically considered a nuisance and subject to removal through the use of algicides, the release of algae eaters, and implementation of algae scrubbers. However, total elimination of algae is considered unlikely in a hobby aquarium. Algae can be used as an bioindicator to inform an aquarist on water chemistry and other conditions. Algae may be unintentionally disseminated through spores and fragments that hitchhike on ornamental fish and plants purchased from aquarium suppliers. Few algae, such as marimo or red moss, are sought after for aquascaping in freshwater aquaria. Green algae thumb|Green water algae infestation Green algae respond strongly to bright light conditions as well as unbalanced carbon dioxide and nutrient levels in the water of freshwater aquaria. Green spot algae (GSA), most likely of the genus Coleochaete, is a spot-forming algae that slowly covers glass, aquarium furniture, and plants. It adheres strongly and is considered difficult to remove. It may be a symptom of low phosphate and carbon dioxide levels in the water. However, GSA is typically a sign of a healthy aquarium and is usually present in some capacity. Green dust algae (GDA) is similar to GSA, however it adheres less aggressively and may be easily wiped off of the glass and substrate on which it settles. The algae is motile and can actively move in the water. The species is not known, though it is hypothesized to belong to the genus Chlamydomonas. Infestations may occur after nitrogen spikes in the water. It is often seen in newly established aquaria and can also be a symptom of low carbon dioxide and nutrient levels in the water. Green water is an algae infestation that is suspended in aquarium water. It does not settle on surfaces. They are typically of the genera Chlorella, Ankistrodesmus, and Scenedesmus. It is a very common infestation to have in newly established aquaria, but may also occur after temperature swings or nutrient imbalances. Once established, altering the water chemistry will not remove the algae. Fishless cycling is considered the best solution. Green filamentous algae thumb|"Moss" balls are one of the few desired algae species in freshwater aquaria There are several species of green algae that grow long, thread-like appendages. There is much overlap in the common names of these infestations, and positive identifications are typically difficult to ascertain. Green thread algae comprise algae species that produce spindly filaments. It does not adhere to substrates, tending to instead grow in floating, bushy tufts. The filaments have a tendency to wrap around plants and aquarium furniture. It is a favorite of algivores such as Amano shrimp. There are several species which are referred to as green thread algae. This includes those of the genus Rhizoclonium which form pale-green to brown strands, those of the genus Spirogyra which form long green strands, and those of the genus Oedogonium which form short green strands. However, there may be thousands of species of algae with this growth form, and an identification is rarely certain. Green thread algae is common in newly established aquaria and is easily outcompeted by installed plants. Hair algae is very similar to green thread algae. Typically, hair algae grows in a carpet of dense, short filaments. Oedogonium in particular may be referred to as hair algae. Hair algae may be caused by too much light in the aquaria. Oedogonium may also be called fuzz algae and green beard algae (GBA). Reticulated algae or branching algae is a green algae of the genus Cladophora. It may form dense tufts of branching green strands. It spreads in the hobby aquaria trade through fragments disseminated on contaminated aquarium plants. It is very difficult to remove once established, and algivores do not prefer it. Algicides are the most effective solution. It may grow in association with marimo, an algal ball which is intentionally cultivated in hobby aquaria. Cladophora may also be referred to as "blanket weed". Red algae thumb|Black beard algae growing amongst installed plants in a freshwater aquarium Red algae of the Rhodophyceae are common in a freshwater aquarium setting. Despite the name, red algae species usually present as a grayish color. Zhan et al. (2020), using DNA barcoding, found 13 different operational taxonomic units of red algae growing within freshwater aquarium stores in Taiwan. Staghorn algae of the genus Compsopogon may exist on aquarium substrates and can be epiphytic on slow-growing plants. It can form branched, whitish-green strands up to six inches in length. It grows quickly and may be a symptom of high nitrates or high iron. Black beard algae or black brush algae (referred to as BBA) belong to the genera Audouinella and Rhodochorton. It grows in the same habit as staghorn algae. BBA, however, tends to grow in dense patches of fine strands. It may be a symptom of high levels of nitrates, phosphates, or iron. It is considered one of the more difficult species to remove, and the plants may uptake calcium from hard water which makes them unpalatable to algivores. BBA may occur in both saltwater and freshwater aquaria. Red spot algae may form a tenacious reddish-brown splotch or film on aquarium glass or plant leaves. It grows quickly and may be a symptom of high nitrates or iron. These encrusting red algae may be referred to as a member of the genus Hildenbrandia. It is not especially common. Species in the genus Caloglossa, specifically C. beccarii and C. fluviatilis, are available from commercial aquarium dealers. Caloglossa cf. beccarii in particular is one of the few species of algae that is deliberately planted in freshwater aquaria. The species has been in the European aquarium trade since the 1990s. Blue-green algae thumb|Blue green algae growing on the substrate of a fresh water aquarium Although colloquially called algae, blue-green algae (BGA) is a type of cyanobacteria. It can present with several different colors. While there are many BGA species, the most common type found in aquaria is referred to as "slime algae". Infestations may attach to aquarium glass and substrates. It may commonly be of the genus Oscillatoria. Species from the genera Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, and Microcystis may also be found in aquaria. BGA infestations may be caused by stagnant water and high water temperatures, as well as high levels of phosphates combined with low levels of oxygen in the water. Brown algae In aquaria, brown algae refers to diatom infestations. True brown algae of the class Phaeophyceae are not known nuisance plants of freshwater aquaria. Diatoms can coat every surface in an aquarium. Diatom infestations are ubiquitous in hobby aquaria, and eradication is not usually worth the effort. It has two growth forms - it may create either a slick brown surface or form small brown filaments. It thrives on excess ammonia or silicates.

Jemmapes-class ironclad

The Jemmapes class was a group of two coastal-defense ships built for the French Navy in the early 1890s. The class comprised and and were an improved version of the preceding , built for a higher speed with more modern Belleville boilers. They were armed with two turret-mounted guns and were protected by armor up to thick. Launched in 1892, the ships served with the Northern Squadron () of the French Navy. They operated along with the similar and as the Coastal Defence Division, being considered together "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea" by Vice Admiral Armand Bernard. They were struck in 1910 and, although Jemmapes had a brief respite as a hulk, they were both subsequently sold to be broken up. Design and development thumb|left|alt=Cutaway of the Jemmapes class from Brassey's Naval Annual|Plan view of the Jemmapes class In the early 1880s, the doctrine became popular in French naval circles. Key to this was the replacement of the battleship broadside with smaller vessels armed with torpedoes, such as smaller cruisers and torpedo boats, to defend France and attack enemy merchant shipping. To support these smaller vessels, a lesser number of powerful coastal defense ships were planned. On 15 November 1888, the naval architect Louis de Bussy sent a note to the Ministry of the Navy () Jules François Émile Krantz on the newly-completed coastal defense ship . Krantz responded immediately with a request for a ship derived from Furieux but with more modern Belleville boilers to give a higher speed of . De Bussy submitted his design on 14 February 1889. The design proposal was accepted by the Board of Construction () on 26 February as meeting the criteria required, finalised on 2 July and approved on 6 July. The ships of the Jemmapes class were longer than the Furieux with a overall length of , at the waterline and between perpendiculars, but had a smaller beam of at the waterline and a smaller mean draught of at deep load. The vessels had a design displacement of , which increased to in service. The complement numbered 299 sailors of all ranks. The vessels were powered by two triple-expansion steam engines provided by St Denis that each drove one propeller shaft. Steam was provided by 16 coal-burning Lagrafel and d'Allest Belleville boilers. The power plant was rated at at 108 rpm and a pressure of at the boilers and at the engines. While undertaking sea trials, Jemmapes reached a speed of from and Valmy reached from . In service, speed was restricted as a bow wave was created at which, by became impossible to push forward, meaning this became the de facto maximum speed. The ships carried of coal, which gave a range of at a cruising speed of . The maximum load of coal was . Once in service, a range of at was claimed. Armament and armor Jemmapes and Valmy were armed with a main battery of two Canon de Modèle 1887 guns in a two single-gun turrets, one forward of the superstructure and the other aft. The guns were manually-loaded and fired one round every five minutes, but this was sped up between 1900 and 1902 with new equipment. Secondary armament was provided by four 45-calibre M1891 QF guns mounted at the corners of the shelter deck. Defence from torpedo boats was provided by six Canon de Modèle 1885 Hotchkiss guns and eight Hotchkiss revolving cannons. The ships had a full-length waterline armor belt that tapered from the maximum thickness of amidships to aft and forward. The belt was high amidships. The armor was hammered steel on the port side and compound armor on the starboard. The turrets were protected by thick compound armor that was mounted on fixed bases thick while the gun shields for the secondary armament was provided by hammered steel armor thick. The main deck was protected by thick iron plates. The laminated steel plates protecting the conning tower measured in thickness. The armor was split between Schneider, who provided the steel, and Saint-Chamond, who provided the compound armor, except for the turret, which was completely supplied by the latter firm. Modifications During their lives, the ships had their armament modified. In 1906, the torpedo tubes were removed and by the following year six of the 37-mm Hotchkiss revolver cannons had been replaced by four additional 47-mm guns.

They were considered more than equal to their smaller German contemporaries, the and . On 12 March 1895, as part of the naval budget debate, Vice Admiral Armand Bernard declared that the two ships of the class, alongside the related ironclads and , were "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea". The ships' service lives were largely uneventful. Between 1 and 23 July 1895 and 6 to 26 July 1896, they took part in large naval exercises in the Atlantic Ocean alongside local defense forces in Brest, Cherbourg, Lorient and Rochefort. At the end of the century, the vessels were part of the Coastal Defence Division alongside Amiral-Tréhouart and Bouvines. Meanwhile, French naval doctrine was changing and the focus on coastal defense was being replaced by one of larger sea-going warships. The size of ships was also increasing, and newer, more capable battleships entered service. Jemmapes was transferred to reserve in 1902, Valmy following in 1903. Valmy was the first to be struck, on 1 July 1910, Jemmapes following on 3 August. Valmy was put up for sale on 20 July 1911 and broken up. Jemmapes spent some time as a hulk before she being broken up on 5 November 1927.
