44 Tauri
44 Tauri, also known as HD 1287 and IM Tauri, is a star located about 210 light years from the Earth, in the constellation Taurus. It is a 5th magnitude star, making it faintly visible to the naked eye of an observer located far from city lights. It is a Delta Scuti variable star, ranging between magnitude 5.37 and 5.58 over a period of about 3.5 hours. In 1966, Ivan Danziger and Robert Dickens discovered that 44 Tauri was a low amplitude variable star, with a period of approximately 3.22 hours. In a follow-up study published the next year, they reported that the period was irregular, indicating beat phenomena, and they classified it as a δ Scuti variable. In 1968, 44 Tauri was given the variable star designation IM Tauri. 44 Tauri has been a popular object for detailed astroseismic and spectroscopic studies, because its very slow (relative to other δ Scuti stars) rotation speed of km/sec does not complicate pulsation mode identification or greatly broaden spectral lines. As of 2010, 44 Tauri had been found to pulsate with 15 independent periods, ranging from 1.89 to 4.52 hours.

Fort Assiniboine Sandhills Wildland Provincial Park
The geology and ecology of the Athabasca River valley are significantly different than the rest of the park. The river valley geology and geomorphology is typical of a river crossing the prairies: fluvial processes have left a wide floodplain with many meanders; fluvial terraces; meander scars and oxbow lakes; and current and abandoned channels. The river splits and converges in the park creating river islands. The valley walls may be steeply inclined or eroded. Limited areas of Colluvium (areas of mass slumping) create unique Habitats. The riparian zone has a variety of plants including old growth and mixedwood forests consisting of Jack pine, white spruce, green alder, big red stem moss, balsam poplar, Alaska birch, and aspen. The old growth forests contain many mosses (Brachythecium albicans, campestre, and rutabulum; Campylium polygamun, radicale; Entodon schleicheri; and Zygodon viridissmus) and lichen (Peltigera collina, evansiana, horizontalis; Physcia dimidiata; Physconia enteroxantha; and Heterodermia speciosa) that are rare in Alberta. Other rare plants in the park include: Low milkweed (Asclepias ovalifolia), Rock little clubmoss (Seloginella rupesths), MacCalla's aster (Aster x maccallae), Lakeshore sedge (Carex lacustris), Lichen (Melanelia olivacea), and Prairie wedge grass (Spenopholis obtusata). Sandhill cranes nest in the fens. Mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose, beaver, mink, muskrat, and river otter are commonly seen in the park. The old growth forests provide habitat for such species as the great gray owl, Cooper's hawk, and pileated woodpecker. Activities Except for three small staging areas (day use only), there are no developed facilities in the park so camping is random backcountry. Wildlife viewing, birding, and geocaching are available within the park. Hiking, trail running, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and equestrian trail riding are also available on extensive trails within the park. Hunting and fishing are permitted with proper authorization (licensed and in-season).

Offshore wind power in the United States
Negative Environmental Impacts One negative effect to note is the carbon emissions resulting from offshore wind farms. During their construction and upkeep there is still a carbon footprint which is noted in a life-cycle analysis of the farm. The construction and maintenance of these farms involve the potential to harm local marine life. Costal bird species have shown to be harmed by the development of offshore wind farms. Birds have seen increased mortality rates due to collisions with wind turbines, as well as habitat displacement as a result of migration routes being altered as a result of flocks avoiding offshore wind farms. As for the effects on marine life below the surface, during the drilling processes, vibrations are disturbing to marine life and can cause hearing loss for marine mammals. Additionally during operation, the electromagnetic fields emanating from the cables exporting electricity cause further acoustic damage to marine life. Experimental floating turbine projects North America's first floating wind turbine was the 20 kW Volturn US, which was lowered into the Penobscot River in Maine in 2013. It is a University of Maine project. As of 2023, researchers believe that the placement of floating turbines is feasible. Residents of Searsport, Maine, near the potential site, have expressed resistance to placement near their community. In May 2014, the United States Department of Energy chose an offshore wind projects to receive funding. Principle Power was planning a 30-MW WindFloat project in 2013 using 6-MW Siemens turbines in 366 m of water near Coos Bay, Oregon to be operational in 2017, but the project was cancelled as too costly. Interest has been renewed. As of 2020, the United States Department of Energy is funding two demonstration projects: University of Maine's Aqua Ventus I, which plans to use a semisubmersible floating concrete foundation design and Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation's (LEEDCo's) 20 MW Icebreaker project

Power Slap
Rules Power Slap, which has been licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, uses rules similar to those established by other slap fighting leagues. After a coin toss to decide who goes first, the first striker has a time limit of 60 seconds to deliver an open-handed slap to the opponent. Slaps must be below the eye but above the chin, without leading with the palm such that all hand to face contact takes place at the same time. Those being slapped may not flinch, raise their shoulder or tuck in their chins. After being slapped, the slapped competitor then has 60 seconds to recover before they get back into position prior to their turn to slap. Fights which do not end in a knock out and go three rounds go to the judges' decision, using a 10-point system with judging based on slap strikers' effectiveness as well as the slap receivers' reaction and recovery time. Title bouts are five rounds and in the event of a draw, there will be an extra round to determine the winner of the bout. Participants are separated by weight and gender.

Religious significance of rice in India
The Atharvaveda defines rice as the "sons of heaven who never die". According to the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, the god of rice is called Annadevata, the ancestor of the sacrifice, and also admonishes people to not decry the role of rice. Shatapatha Brahmana says rice emerged from the body of Indra, and further elaborates: "[f]rom his marrow his drink, the soma juice flowed, and became rice: in this way his energies, or vital power, went from him". The Hindu goddesses Annapurna () and Lakshmi (goddess of wealth), and the combination of the two goddesses called Annalakshmi represents rice; Dhanyalakshmi is another name for the goddess who is depicted with a few sheaves of paddy in her hand. In the Mahabharata epic, Krishna gifted a vessel to Draupadi that would always be filled with rice and hence the vessel is named Akshaya Patra. Archaeological findings indicate that rice was first cultivated in the region around Kashi. Religious uses Rice grains are used in the form of blessings known as akshata. Dry rice is smeared with red vermilion and applied on the forehead of persons as it is said to bestow favourable characteristics. It is one of the navadanya, the nine sacred grains used in sacred ceremonies. During Hindu religious ceremonies, another use of rice is as a 'havis' offering of cooked rice to the sacrificial fire in the yajña kuṇḍa, propitiating gods. Rice smeared with turmeric powder is sprinkled over worshippers and the newly married couple as a blessing. Only rice can form the base called asanam (seat) for placing the sacred kalasha (pot) upon it during religious celebrations. In certain regions of India, the bride and bridegroom stand on a heap of rice during the marriage ceremony. Also, in many states of India, when a bride enters her husband's house, she is made to first push with her right foot a small metal jar or vessel of rice; this symbolises that with the spilled rice, she would usher prosperity to her newly adopted house/family.

Farmers and Drovers Bank
The Farmers and Drovers Bank is a historic bank building located at 201 W. Main Street in Council Grove, Kansas. Constructed in 1892 by local contractors, the bank officially opened to customers in early 1893. Its Victorian-style design exemplifies the "commercial palace" architectural trend, characterized by bold, eclectic features intended to convey wealth and prosperity. The building’s notable design elements include a red brick exterior adorned with limestone arched windows, a turret above the front corner, and a limestone cornice divided by pinnacles. In 1902, the neighboring Indicator Building was constructed as an addition to the bank, designed to complement its architecture. The bank leased this space to local businesses, and the building's name originates from its first tenant, a general store called The Indicator. However, the store only operated for a year before closing due to a flood and subsequent fire. The Farmers and Drovers Bank, along with the Indicator Building, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1971.

Emanuele Piloti
Piloti reports that he engaged in religious discussions with Muslims and once reported a Muslim who blasphemed Jesus to the authorities. He displays firsthand knowledge of Muslim belief and practice, but his view of Islam was conventionally Western. He describes the faith as "bestial" (hedonistic) and forced on the people at swordpoint. Much of the good Piloti has to say about the Islamic world is designed to shame Christendom into more effectively resisting it. De modo is chronologically imprecise, indicating that Piloti wrote mostly from memory. He did use Marino Sanudo Torsello's Liber secretorum fidelium crucis, copies of which he saw in Venice. In its wealth of detail based on personal observation, De modo bears some resemblance to the contemporary works of Ghillebert de Lannoy and Bertrandon de la Broquière. Its overview of the Egyptian economy is of great value to the historian and Piloti's economic knowledge compares with Francesco Balducci Pegolotti's Pratica della mercatura. In the modern edition by Pierre-Herman Dopp, De modo runs to 240 pages.

Parish Church of St. Helena
The church was expanded several times in subsequent years, with waves of reconstruction and renovation being completed in 1769 and 1842. St. Helena's Church experienced only minor damage during the Revolutionary War but suffered neglect following disestablishment until the 1820s. In 1823, the Rev. Joseph Walker began a 55-year rectorate. In 1831, St. Helena's was a hub for the Beaufort Revival late in the Second Great Awakening. The Rev. Daniel Baker, the minister at Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, was invited by Walker to preach at St. Helena's since there was no Presbyterian church yet in Beaufort. Baker preached two or three times daily at St. Helena's for ten days. William J. Grayson, a newspaper editor and future member of Congress who was converted during the revival, described the scene thus: As a result of the revival, 40 men entered ordained ministry, six of whom became Episcopal bishops, including Stephen Elliott, the first bishop of Georgia, as well a future prominent Baptist minister, Richard Fuller. St. Helena's doubled in attendance and outgrew its building; Walker presided over a major expansion in 1842 that saw the addition of galleries in the church. During the Civil War, the church was used as a hospital. In the early 21st century, as part of the Anglican realignment, St. Helena's Church remained affiliated with the Diocese of South Carolina when it disaffiliated from the Episcopal Church. After litigation, St. Helena's Church was one of the congregations permitted to keep its property, although the diocese was forced to rename itself as the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina. The congregation and diocese have been part of the Anglican Church in North America since 2015. Architecture St. Helena's Church is considered emblematic of colonial Georgian architecture, with its west facade representing the Federal style in particular.

Gregory Blackstock
British art historian Roger Cardinal noted the "autistic repetition" of Blackstock's art, claiming "[his] work represents a kind of stocktaking, the reflection of a yearning for order and perhaps ultimately of a longing for mastery over the unthinkable subtleties of our shared world — a desire for supremacy as chief overseer of reality's infinite variations." Exhibitions Blackstock's work was first shown when he was 58 years old at a solo exhibition held by Garde Rail Gallery in Seattle. In 2011, the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne held a solo exhibition of his work. Beginning in 2012, Blackstock was represented by Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle, which featured him in several single-artist and contextualized thematic exhibitions. In 2021, an exhibit titled "The Incomplete Historical World, Parts I, II & III" featured limited-edition prints of his work which were a collaborative project between the artist, his family, and Greg Kucera Gallery. Institutional holdings and media Blackstock's art is held in institutions such as the Blanton Museum of Art (Austin), Collection de l'Art Brut (Lausanne), and the Seattle Art Museum (Seattle). A 22-minute documentary of his work titled Gregory Blackstock l'encyclopédiste was created for the 2011 exhibit of his work at the Collection de l'Art Brut. Another short video, The Great World of Gregory Blackstock, was created in 2021 and animated by Drew Christie as part of the PBS Voices series of documentary shorts. Some of his images were used for haute couture clothing by Comme des Garçons, and others were sold as greeting cards and jigsaw puzzles. A book of his work was published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2006 titled Blackstock's Collections: The Drawings of an Artistic Savant. Later life and death

Robert F. Walker
Robert Franklin Walker (November 29, 1850 – November 19, 1930) was an American lawyer, jurist, and professor of law who served as Missouri Attorney General from 1893 to 1897, and as a Missouri Supreme Court justice from 1913 until his death in 1930, and twice as Chief Justice, from 1919 until 1922 and 1927 until 1928. Early life Robert F. Walker was born in Florence, Morgan County, Missouri, in 1850 to Belford Stevenson Walker and Abigail Lewis Walker (née Evans). Walker spent the first 12 years of his life in and around Florence. In August 1862, his father, a captain, volunteered as company commander of the Forty-third Enrolled Missouri Militia, Company K. A short time later, he resigned and moved his family to Versailles, Missouri. His mother died in 1864, shortly before Walker's 14th birthday. Education and career Walker graduated from University of Missouri in 1873 and from the University of Missouri School of Law in 1875. Walker was admitted to the Missouri State Bar in Versailles, Missouri later that same year, and commenced the practice of law. In 1876 he was elected as the Morgan County prosecutor. Walker held that position until 1885, when he was appointed Assistant Attorney General of Missouri by Attorney General Banton G. Boone. In 1892, Walker ran for on the Democratic ticket for Missouri Attorney General and was elected with 49.5% of the vote.

Walker did not seek reelection in 1896, and moved to St. Louis where he worked as a judge and attorney. During this time he was counsel of the St. Louis Merchants' Exchange, in 1907 he was elected President of the Missouri Bar Association, and he traveled and spoke at different events and universities. One such event was an address to the Current Topics Club in St. Louis, at which Walker criticized then president Theodore Roosevelt, for inviting Booker T. Washington to the White House. Walker commented, "Teach the negro honesty and industry, but do not try to take a companion of him, or lead him to think that he is worthy of a white man's table or a white man's bed." He also claimed, "[The President was] an enemy to individual liberty and a disgrace to his own race." The same year, Walker spoke at the Old Settler's Association of Morgan County, his address was transcribed and filed in the Library of Congress. Supreme Court In 1912 Walker received the Democratic nomination for a seat on the Missouri Supreme Court. He was elected to a ten-year term, and was elected to a second term in 1922. As a justice, Walker was "known on the bench for his liberal views and frequent opinions dissenting from the majority". Personal life, illness and death Walker was married twice, first on September 20, 1877, to Nannie A. Wright, until her death in 1892, and then on September 28, 1896, to Geneva C. Percy until her death in 1929. At the time Walker died, newspapers reported he had been in poor health the previous two years and had undergone a major operation the year before and was hospitalized the last ten days of his life. His death certificate states the cause of death was due to Interstitial nephritis, an inflammation of the area of the kidney, an issue he had dealt with for about six months.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nchara
Nchara
Nchara is an agrarian community in Oloko, Ikwuano Local Government Area, Abia State, Nigeria. It is composed of two sister villages namely; Akanu and Etoruo (formerly Otoro). These two villages are placed under two autonomous communities - Afa Ukwu & Afa respectively. It is about 24 km away from the state capital, Umuahia. History Nchara is situated at a crossway point to different parts of Igboland and the Efik-Ibibio communities. This has made it a major carrefour for Igbo and Ibibio commuters alike. The Aba Women's Riot has its share of history with Nchara in the sense that one of the apex leaders of the riot, Madam Ikonna Nwanyiukwu Enyia (b. 1877) who was originally from the Oloko village, married a man from Nchara. In fact, the Aba Women's Riot did not take place in Aba but in Nchara. This misinterpretation was caused by the warping of history by previous governmental powers. There have been calls from the Oloko people for the government to officially recognize Oloko as the authentic place of the riot. In the past, the paramount Ezes of Oloko clan in Eze Otutubuike and Eze Pipi came from Nchara. Elder Dr. Gabriel Onyeonoro Arungwa, one of Ikwuano's first foreign-trained citizens hailed from Umuncheke in Etoruo Nchara. Nchara and her Annang neighbors have both been involved in communal clashes with each other over the control of land. Economy and infrastructure Being an agricultural hub, Nchara has been an economically important region to Ikwuano. The soil of Nchara is fertile for the cultivation of commercial crops such as yams, cassava, plantains and even common fruits like bananas, oranges and watermelons. Farmers from Nchara sell their produce in neighboring villages such as Ndoro, Ariam and to their Annang neighbors in Akwa Ibom State. Their agricultural prowess has made them buoyant enough to feed themselves. Despite this, Nchara's development is plodding.

2023 French pension reform strikes
As part of Macron's pension reforms, the retirement age was to be raised to 64 or 65, from 62. The pay-as-you-go system – raising the retirement age would help to further finance, as life expectancy increases and more start work later – would have a surplus of €3.2bn in 2022, but the government's pensions advisory board (COR) forecast that it would "fall into structural deficits in coming decades unless new financing sources are found". In March 2023, Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt said that "without immediate action" the pensions deficit would exceed $13bn annually by 2027. The government stated that the reforms would "balance the deficit" in 2030, with a surplus amounting to billions of dollars that would "pay for measures allowing those in physically demanding jobs to retire early". The pension reforms have long been under consideration by Macron and his government. Reforming the pension system was a significant part of his platform for election in 2017, with initial protests and transport strikes in late 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic which saw Macron delay the reforms further. Raising the retirement age was not part of these initial reforms, but another "plan to unify the complex French pension system" by "getting rid of the 42 special regimes for sectors ranging from rail and energy workers to lawyers was crucial to keep the system financially viable". On 26 October 2022, Macron announced that pension reform scheduled for 2023 intended to raise the retirement age to 65, be gradually increased from 62 to 65 by 2031, by three months per year from September 2023 to September 2030. Furthermore, the number of years that contributions would need to be made to qualify for the full state pension would increase from 42 to 43 in 2027, meaning that some may have to work to 67 – the year at which a person is automatically able to receive a state pension from.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine%20acetylsalicylate
Lysine acetylsalicylate
Cyclo-oxygenase enzyme (COX) inhibition Two forms of COX enzymes have been identified, COX-1 and COX-2. COX enzymes are responsible for catalyzing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, which are used as precursors for other substances, in particular thromboxane A2. Thromboxane A2 is a potent platelet activator, inducing changes in platelets that ultimately promote aggregation and the formation of clots. Thromboxane A2 also displays vasoconstrictor properties by acting on vascular smooth muscle cells. Prostaglandins are also important mediators of the inflammatory response, with high levels of prostaglandins being seen in inflamed tissues. Acetylsalicylate compounds act as inhibitors of COX-1 and COX-2 enzyme activity, enabling the drug to display its antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory properties. The compound irreversibly suppresses COX-1 activity by addition of an acetyl group to a serine amino acid. This disables the binding mechanism of arachidonic acid, inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane A2 which stops platelet aggregation and inflammation. The same mechanism is also shown in COX-2 enzymes, albeit with lower efficiency of binding. Other proposed mechanisms Acetylsalicylate compounds are also thought to have other mechanisms that exert anti-inflammatory effects on cells, which are mainly prostaglandin-independen.t Acetylsalicylate inhibits neutrophil activation by desensitizing them to endogenous chemical signals such as leukotrienes, stopping the inflammatory cascade. Acetylsalicylate also reduces the expression of nitric oxide synthase, obstructing the synthesis of nitric oxide compounds. Nitric oxide plays a key role in inflammation by activating macrophages and regulating apoptosis. Acetylsalicylate also inhibits the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B, which decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules such as interleukins.

George Clarke (convict)
Transportation to Van Diemen's Land Back in Sydney, Clarke was again transferred to the Phoenix prison ship. He was not released due to information that he was overheard threatening to do harm to Thomas Mitchell once he was given his freedom. Mitchell, himself, informed the authorities that he thought Clarke would cause "serious mischief" if he was released to return to his Aboriginal friends. It was therefore decided to retain Clarke in custody and transport him to the isolated penal colony of Van Diemen's Land where recent genocidal activity had cleared the island of virtually all the Aboriginal population; a place the authorities concluded where Clarke would have "no blacks to associate with". Death Clarke arrived in Hobart in May 1835 and was assigned to a convict work gang at Oatlands. Within a month, he and two other convicts broke out of their shackles, obtained a firearm and robbed an elderly couple. They were arrested the same evening and later sent for trial. Clarke was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was hanged at the Hobart public gallows on 11 August 1835.

Julieta de Melo Monteiro (1855 – 1928) was a Brazilian poet, writer, journalist, and teacher. Early life and education Monteiro was born in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul on 21 October 1855. Coming from a literary family, she was the daughter of the poet Revocata dos Passos Figueiroa de Melo and of João Correia de Melo, and niece of Amália dos Passos Figueiroa, a poet and journalist. Her sister, Revocata Heloísa de Melo was also a poet and journalist. She had four brothers, three of whom would die at a young age. Monteiro married the Portuguese poet Francisco Guilherme Pinto Monteiro on 21 October 1876. She published her first work at the age of nineteen, a book of verses in the Parnassian style, called Preludes. Writing In 1878, Monteiro founded the women's magazine Violeta, whose editors and contributors were essentially female. She contributed to several newspapers, both literary and others, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, such as Escrínio and Eco do Povo in Porto Alegre, and Progresso Literário, Tribuna Literária, and Illustração Pelotense in Pelotas. Not only a poet, she wrote short stories and plays and was also a columnist. She also published texts in A Mensageira in São Paulo, a magazine dedicated to Brazilian women. She became the patron of the Women's Literary Academy of Rio Grande do Sul and published in its magazine, Atenéia. She was also a member of the Sociedade Partenon Literário (Parthenon Literary Society), using the pseudonym "Penserosa". In 1892, she published a book of sonnets, Oscilantes, described as being simple, descriptive and even naïve and revealing a happy childhood and youth. In 1898, she published a book of short stories, Alma e Coração (Soul and heart). Other publications were to follow, including Tabernacle, a book of verses, and the play, O Segredo de Marcial (Marcial's secret). With her sister she wrote the plays Coração de Mãe (Mother's heart), which was staged in Porto Alegre, Berilos, staged in Rio Grande, and Mário.

PKS 0805-07
PKS 0805-07 also known as PMN J0808-0751 and 4FGL J0808.2-0751, is a quasar located in the constellation of Monoceros. With a redshift of 1.83, light has taken at least 10 billion light-years to reach Earth. Characteristics Classified a high redshift blazar, a type of powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei containing a relativistic jet, pointing towards the direction of Earth, PKS 0805-07 shows emitted radiation, mainly detected in gamma-rays (E>~100 MeV) as detected by Large Area Telescope. The quasar is known to have an extreme variability across its entire electromagnetic spectrum. Based on the strength of optical spectral lines, which the equivalent width (EW) of the spectral line is found greater or less than 5 Å, PKS 0805-07 is further classified a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) containing strong emission-lines. Like many other FSRQs, PKS 0805-07 contains characteristics like a high bolometric luminosity, and thermal activity that is related to an accretion disk in the quasar's optical and ultraviolet (UV) spectra. It is also known to have characteristic radio polarization at 1.4 GHz, P1.4 > 1% and a spinning black hole. As studied by researchers for its emission properties, PKS 0805-07 exhibits lower electron energy (γ p ≲ 1.6 × 103) compared to BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) with a separation of Γ = -0.127 log ly + 8.18 in γ-ray luminosity versus photon index plane with a success rate of 88.6\%. It also has a stronger magnetic field (B) with smaller electron-to-magnetic energy ratio (U e/U B) than BL Lacs. Moreover, PKS 0805-07 shows a core-jet morphology with at least five observing epochs at 15 GHz between January 1996, and August 2019, observed by Very Long Baseline Array. The quasar also has a core-dominated source, showing asymmetric features than lobe-dominated sources, which is caused by modest relativistic motion (β ≡ 0.20) within its radio lobes.

Népsziget
Népsziget is a neighborhood in Budapest, located in the IV and XIII districts. It is also known as Újpesti Island or Mosquito Island. The peninsula is approximately 2 km long and covers an area of 50 hectares. It is situated on the boundary between the districts, on the northern and southern sides of the Újpest railway bridge embankment. Originally, it was one of the Danube river's islands, but today it is a peninsula. It is bordered by the Danube on all sides except for Zsilip Street. It is located to the northeast of Hajógyári Island. History It was called Saban Island, according to the records of the border survey of Pest in September 1695. On 18th-19th century maps it is shown as Pesti Island, later Újpesti Island. Later it was colloquially known as Szúnyog-sziget (Mosquito Island) or Csigás-sziget (Snail Island). It was originally an island on the Danube on the border of Pest and Rákospalota, which was connected to Újpest by a thin isthmus between 1853 and 1863 via Újpest's Zsilip Street, and thus became a peninsula. According to the boundaries of the time, the whole of Népsziget was part of Budapest and Palotai Island was part of Újpest. It is interesting to note that, since the old city boundary is still indicated in the text of the law as the boundary between the districts XIII and IV, the northern part of the island, although de facto part of the administrative district IV since the 1960s, would de jure belong to the district XIII. The Újpest railway bridge was built in 1896, providing an important link between the peninsula and the two banks of the Danube. Budapest's bid for the 1928 Summer Olympics envisaged the peninsula as an important central location for the Olympics. In the bay, at the southern tip of the peninsula, there used to be a small boat ferry across to the peninsula (Rocsó) from Meder Street. This was closed by the 1980s, when the footbridge was built. The deteriorated bridge was renovated in 2017.

Ignacy Władysław Ledóchowski
Count Ignacy Władysław Ledóchowski (25 May 1867, Strelniki – 3 March 1932, Warsaw) was an architect and civil engineer who worked in Kyiv at the beginning of the 20th century. Alongside architect Vladislav Gorodetsky, he is considered one of the "fathers of Kyiv's Art Nouveau." All his building designs were executed in the Art Nouveau style, characterized by a bright and recognizable architectural signature. Ignacy's architectural journey began with his graduation from Ghent University and the Technical Academy in Lviv. His move to Kyiv marked the start of a prolific period in his career, where he established himself as a prominent architect, known for his distinct Art Nouveau style. Among his notable works are the Kachkovsky Clinic and the Kozarovsky Mansion, both of which reflect his mature and European-influenced architectural approach.After World War I, he emigrated to Poland. Biography Ignacy-Władysław was born on 25 May 1867 into the noble Ledóchowski family in the village of Strelniki in the Yampolsky Uyezd, Podolia Governorate. His father, Count Kazimierz-Teofil-Jan Gałka-Ledóchowski, hailed from the ancient Ledóchowski family, of the Szalawa coat of arms, originally of the Orthodox faith until the late 17th century. The family converted to Catholicism and became Polonized in the 17th century. The family was relatively numerous but not wealthy, receiving the count title in Austria in 1800 and confirmed in the Russian Empire in 1845. The family's lands were divided among children, leaving Ignacy's father with a 45% share in the estate at Strzelnik, which he sold off by 1871. Kazimierz earned a living by managing other people's estates and sugar factories. Ignacy had two younger brothers, Karol and Stanisław. Their father died of pneumonia when Ignacy was 20 years old, but all three brothers received good technical education. Education

Johann Daniel von Reitter
Johann Daniel von Reitter (21 October 1759 – 6 February 1811) was a German forester, hunter, educator, and botanist who worked in the court of the rulers of Württemberg. Reitter was born in Böblingen (Württemberg) where his father was a forester. He went to a local grammar school before entering a military school in 1772, an idea suggested by Duke Karl of Württemberg, who had met the boy while hunting. He studied natural sciences and even as a student wrote a treatise on the protection of game reserves. In 1779 he became a gunsmith for the Duke and in 1780 he was a court hunter and two years later he was involved in forestry education for hunters and game wardens at the Leibjäger in Hohenheim. He travelled in France and the Netherlands to study forestry practices. He founded the Journal für das Forst- und Jagdwesen (Journal for Forestry and Hunting) along with others in 1790. Other periodicals of the period were run by so-called forest cameralists while Reitter's journal dealt with actual forest management practices. In 1794 he became a forestry commissioner in Stuttgart and later became a forest councillor. In 1803 he was a council member in a newly formed forestry department. He published illustrated books on German trees with illustrations by Gottlieb Friedrich Abel. He continued forestry education work until 1807 and this was continued by Georg Ludwig Hartig.

Encarnación Magaña
El Parte Inglés Taking advantage of her work at the Librería Inglesa, Magaña, along with other antifascists led by Joaquín Villaespesa Quintana, undertook the task of translating and copying bulletins from the British BBC about World War II. These were later distributed in Almería and Gibraltar through the antifranco publication El Campense, in support of the Allies in the war against Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. A denunciation exposed Magaña to the Francoist authorities. She was arrested for disseminating subversive propaganda and belonging to an underground organization by the FET y de las JONS investigation service. She was imprisoned on March 24, 1941, and was never released. Many of her comrades in the organization were arrested a month later. They were tried in a trial known as El Parte Inglés, which had a significant impact in post-war Almería. Magaña was sentenced to death in an exemplary judgment, along with eight other companions, in a trial with few procedural guarantees. Magaña was executed at the age of 20 in Almería on the night of 11 August 1942, alongside Joaquín Villaespesa Quintana, Cristóbal Company García, Francisco García Luna, Justo Ruiz Pelegrina, Juan Hernández Granados, Diego Molina Matarín, and Francisco Martín Vázquez. She was buried in a mass grave with two of them. She was the only woman executed during Franco's regime in Almería. Legacy In 2020, a street in Tabernas was named Encarnación Magaña in recognition of her struggle for freedom, making it the first street in this town in Almería to be named after a woman. The story of Encarnación Magaña and that of the eight others executed with her are recounted in the book "El Parte Inglés. La lucha antifranquista desde la clandestinidad en Almería" published by Círculo Rojo, based on the research by historian Eusebio Rodríguez Padilla.

Cemeteries of Nantes
The French language reflects the relationship between these exterior cemeteries and sacred buildings. The words "parvis" and "paradise" share a common root. What is currently a bare square adjacent to buildings was once a place where the dead were laid to rest. Before its reconstruction in the 15th century, the Saint-Nicolas church was smaller and oriented west-east. To the north, a cemetery ran alongside it, at the site of the current apse and transept (another cemetery occupied the future site of the Feltre market). Another example is the space in front of the cathedral's west facade, which was later named Saint-Pierre Square. This area was occupied by a cemetery until 1617. Abbé Travers described it as comprising two cemeteries enclosed by hedges, planted with trees, and separated by the road leading from the Saint-Pierre gate to the city center. Travers even supposes this cemetery was a single entity before the end of the 12th century. The exposure of these cemeteries contributed to their devaluation, as previously discussed. Parishioners observed the lack of dignity associated with exterior cemeteries and, in a gesture of respect for their deceased, increasingly opted for interment within churches.

Additionally, burials were conducted within the confines of Saint-Denis church, situated on the same street, as well as within the precincts of Saint-Vincent church, located on Saint-Vincent Street. Furthermore, numerous monasteries in Nantes, including the Cordeliers, Jacobins, Carmes, Capucins, Chartreux, Visitandines, Carmelites, Clarisses, Tertiaries of Saint-Elizabeth, Penitents, and others, had designated burial sites. This practice persisted as long as religious institutions remained operational. One such example is the domain of the Oblates, where a private cemetery, preserved until the 21st century, was used for deceased nuns' burials in a private cemetery around a small chapel that housed the remains of the mother superiors. The "cemetery of the executed," which dates from the 15th century, was located on a marsh named "Pré Nian", which is now the area between Brancas Alley, Du Couëdic Street, Cassard Alley, Orléans Street, and Félix-Fournier Square. It served to bury the bodies of individuals from the Sainte-Catherine hospital and executed individuals. It was later called the "Huguenots cemetery." An attempt to relocate the cemetery, which was situated in an area undergoing urban expansion, was unsuccessful due to the refusal of the local parishioners to inter the executed with their dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amil%20%28name%29
Amil (name)
Amil (also Aamil and Amel; عَامِل, ʻĀmil), is an Arabic given name, used among different Islamic peoples, such as the Persians and Azerbaijanis. The name is interpreted to mean "a hardworking person, doer, striver", among other similar descriptions. As a word it appears in both the Quran and Hadith. In the Balkans, Amil is popular among Bosniaks in the former Yugoslav nations. In this region, it is used as a male given name, while the female equivalent is Amila (for example, Amila Glamočak). The name is an alternative variant to the name Amel, which is also popular among Bosniaks. History The name comes from root ع م ل (ʕ-m-l), which is related to "working, doing". According to a Turkish Encyclopedia, âmil ( العامل, el-Âmil, al-Āmil) is mentioned both in the Quran and Hadith. In the Quran, it is used "mostly in relation to those who do good or bad deeds and also in zakat matters". In the Hadiths, the word generally refers to "administrator and especially tax collector" and is used "almost synonymously" with words arîf, âşir, câbî, emîn, hâzin, sâî and musaddık; the person who works in the mudarabah company is called mudârib as well as âmil. During the Rashidun Caliphate, it referred to both a general civil servant and a tax officer. In the Ottoman Empire, âmil was also used in relation to an officer in charge of tax collecting, as well as a tax-farmer, or a person who collects on behalf of a tax-farmer. Variants Âmil (Turkish), Ğamil (Гамил, Tatar), Ğəmil (Ғәмил, Bashkort). For the closely related Turkic Tatar and Bashkort, letter ğ (г / ғ) stands for the Arabic ghayn (خ, ʁ), which these languages use to replace the ayin (ع) with (/ʁa'mil/, /ʁæ'mil/). Occasionally they appear without ğayn (Амил, Әмил). In Hindi use, the name Amil does not seem to have the same Arabic root. Notable people

Ocucaje desert
The Ocucaje Desert has also gained attention for the enigmatic Ica Stones, a collection of andesite stones which appear to bear carvings of dinosaurs, humans, and advanced technology. These stones were brought to public attention in the 1960s by Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea, who believed they depicted evidence of a pre-Columbian civilization with advanced knowledge. However, the authenticity of the Ica Stones has been a subject of intense debate, with many scholars considering them modern hoaxes. Tourism The desert houses many natural attractions such as the Canyon of the Lost, a picturesque canyon that presents an array of rock formations, steep cliffs, and winding pathways carved over millennia by natural forces. Its name derives from the labyrinthine nature of its trails, which can be disorienting to navigate. The canyon's walls, composed of sedimentary rock, reveal layers of earth's history and contain fossils that date back millions of years, offering valuable insights to geologists and paleontologists. Visitors to the Canyon of the Lost can explore its depths through guided tours, which often highlight the area's flora and fauna, as well as its significant archaeological and paleontological sites. A significant cultural attraction in the Ocucaje Desert is the Museum of Engraved Stones, founded by Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea. The museum houses the controversial collection of engraved stones that depict various scenes, including prehistoric animals and advanced technologies, which some believe suggest an unknown ancient civilization. Threats The Ocucaje Desert faces threats from unplanned development and rapid, informal urban growth. National real estate companies are continuing to advertise the building of "suburban-style homes in the desert of Ocucaje". Due to cultural and paleontological significance of this region, many have advocated for the creation of a national park in the Ocucaje Desert.

Chalmazel Ski Resort
The resort continued to develop in 1967, led by Eloi Marcoux, who, in addition to his role as president of the Ski-club, was now also the facilities manager, and Henri Essertel, general secretary of the commune of Montbrison and the Régie de Chalmazel. They had the support of the Conseil Général and its president, Antoine Pinay, who wanted to provide the department with a modern ski center. The lift park was developed, pistes were laid out and a snow front with reception, rental stores, and apartments was built. The Pierre-sur-Haute four-seater gondola was built, forming the backbone of the resort at 2,340 meters. This lift was one of the first "egg" lines built by French manufacturer Poma. Additionally, the ski school lift was installed in 1967 on the Granges flat, accessible to beginners from the gondola's intermediate station. After a few seasons, it was relocated to its final position at the foot of the slopes near the gondola departure station, subsequently renamed the Bosquet ski lift. It was replaced in 1993 by the 400-meter-long Forestière lift, now also dismantled. In 1980, the Couzan black run was constructed, and a new pathway was cleared through the forest on the slopes of the Signal de Procher, intended to facilitate the opening of a new piste. However, this project was never completed. Although naturally reforested over the years, the gap on the side of the Signal de Procher remains visible today. In 1983, the resort installed snow guns on the Granges piste and created a small beginners' area behind Les Épilobes restaurant, also equipped with snow guns. Modernization policy In the 2000s, the Departmental Council of Loire took over management of the ski area and invested in new facilities.

JULIE: The Musical
Julie: The Musical (stylised in all caps) is a British musical comedy biopic about the 17th century opera singer, swordswoman and queer historical figure, Julie d'Aubigny. Its music, book and lyrics were written by Manchester-based, queer creator Abey Bradbury, who also did costume design for the show. It was co-produced by Le Gasp! Productions. Themes of the show include queerness, found family, feminism, and carving a place for yourself in a world not built for you. Plot The show begins with Julie introducing herself, her situation, and the claim that everything that follows is a historical fact, apart from one thing that Julie herself wrote in. The initial scene of action at her own wedding to Monsieur Maupin ("The Wedding") - who is immediately sent as a tax collector to Southern France, leaving Julie free to have her own luxurious but constricted life in Paris as Count D’Armanac's mistress ("Me, Myself and I"). She soon runs away with Seranne, her fencing master hired by D’Armanac to keep her entertained, staging fights for money whilst on the run ("First Big Mistake"). After joining the Marseille opera house ("This"), she falls in love with Amelie, a merchant's daughter, who is removed to a nunnery when her family discovers the relationship ("For the Love of God"). Julie follows her to the nunnery, takes her vows and then burns down the abbey, escaping with Amelie, who returns to her family when life on the road gets too difficult. Alone, Julie returns to Paris, on the way meeting lifelong friend and rival, Gabriel-Vincent Thevenard before they both join the illustrious Paris Opera ("In Paris"). Having boosted her social status, the audience is introduced to Count D’Albert at a party, Julie's best friend whom she met on the way to Paris after stabbing him through the shoulder in a duel. At the party, Julie meets Marquiesse Marie de Florensac, who kisses her, triggering Marie's husband and three other men to challenge Julie to a duel. Although she wins, she runs away to Belgium as duelling is illegal.

New wave of classic rock
New wave of classic rock, also known as classic rock revival, is a style of rock music that is meant to emulate the sound of earlier rock acts, particularly those of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Characteristics Classic rock revival bands perform in a style influenced by the sounds of the popular rock sounds of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, including hard rock, psychedelic rock, blues rock, progressive rock and glam rock. Some revival bands aim emulate earlier sounds while other groups incorporate contemporary elements into their sound. Brad Angle of Revolver has described the sound as "hard-hitting, swaggering, riff-driven rock ‘n’ roll built around a core vocal-guitar-bass-drum configuration". History The genre first emerged as a commercial force within mainstream rock during the early 2010s with groups such as Rival Sons, which formed in 2009. By the mid-2010s the immense success of Greta Van Fleet saw a slew of other rock bands performing in a classic rock-influenced sound gain prominence. Other groups identified as part of this movement include the Struts, Dirty Honey, Dorothy, Crown Lands, Goodbye June, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown, White Reaper, Joyous Wolf, Thunderpussy, Nick Perri, and Larkin Poe. The movement began to form in the early 2010s, before fully emerging around 2018. The revival of glam rock was particularly prominent in the movement, with Classic Rock magazine crediting the Struts, the Lemon Twigs, Diane Coffee, Starbenders, Temples, Ty Segall as "bands bringing glam rock into the future" Groups including Måneskin, Palaye Royale and Starcrawler merged elements of more contemporary styles of pop and hip hop music into the framework of classic rock. Måneskin, in particular, were credited as the band "saving" rock music, by publications including Guitar Player, America Oggi and Rolling Stone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban%20scaling
Urban scaling
Urban scaling is an area of research within the study of cities as complex systems. It examines how various urban indicators change systematically with city size. The literature on urban scaling was motivated by the success of scaling theory in biology, itself motivated in turn by the success of scaling in physics. Crucial insights from scaling analysis applied to a system can emerge from finding power-law function relationships between variables of interest and the size of the system (as opposed to finding power-law probability distributions). Power-laws have an implicit self-similarity which suggests universal mechanisms at work, which in turn support the search for fundamental laws. The study of power-laws is closely linked to the study of critical phenomena in physics, in which emergent properties and scale invariance are central and organizing concepts. These concepts resurface in the study of complex systems, and are of particular importance in the urban scaling framework. The phenomenon of scaling in biology is often referred to as allometric scaling. Some of these relationships were studied by Galileo (e.g., in terms of the area width of animals' legs as a function of their mass) and then studied a century ago by Max Kleiber (see Kleiber's law) in terms of the relationship between basal metabolic rate and mass. A theoretical explanation of allometric scaling laws in biology was provided by the Metabolic Scaling Theory.

Eyal Fortress
Eyal Fortress (, ; ) is a fortress built in the early Ottoman rule in Bible Hill, Jerusalem. History The building known in Arabic as 'Qasr al-Asfur' (قصر العصفور) or 'Qasr al-Ghazal' (قصر ألغزال). It includes two parts. Its first part is a fortress structure whose base is probably from the 16th century. the fortress included agricultural parts and the fortress can be identified on maps from 1576. The second part of the fortress is probably a residential part or warehouse that was built in the Ottoman period as well, and is one story with a tiled roof, and is a late addition to the original building Eyal Fortress was used for over 50 years as the offices of the British Consulate in Jerusalem. It continued to serve this purpose even years after the establishment of the State of Israel. Controversy In recent years, there has been a long debate surrounding the hill and the structure, between entrepreneurs who want to build a hundred-room hotel around the structure and between preservationists who want to cultivate the place as a historical natural site.

Polish immigration to the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coalfield
At the turn of the century, those who came from Germany were envied for the jobs they had obtained thanks to their qualifications. In Sallaumines, between 1921 and 1926, around 30 Poles improvised as bakers, butchers, and grocers, rising to 36 by 1931, and 46 by 1936. In Bruay-en-Artois, one in three Polish miners' wives ran a store or a drinking establishment. The companies kept a watchful eye on them to "monitor their political development and union activity", as many had been union members in the German Ruhr region, but they were unable to prevent it: despite jealousies, integration was achieved through political parties and unions. Redundancies during the Great Depression of the 1930s The crash of 1929 triggered the economic crisis of the 1930s. Initially, between 1930 and 1933, Polish miners were laid off for 5 to 10 days a month, depending on the coalfield. From 1934 onwards, the dismissals accelerated. They were used to intimidate. Often, an expulsion bill was discovered by the miner on the way up, "the famous bill that scared everyone", remembers Jean Wroblewsky, a former miner and former mayor of Marles-les-Mines. In 1934 alone, the coal companies chartered 17 special trains to take their Polish workers back to the Belgian border. Between 1933 and 1936, some 20,000 Poles, either from Poznań or via the Ruhr, had to leave France, under very brutal conditions: only 48 hours to get ready, with a maximum of 30 kilos of luggage. Many had to give up everything in their homes and keep only the essentials. The Gierek-Olszanski affair In 1932, union leader Thomas Olszanski, a naturalized French citizen since 1922, who contributed to one of the two Polish-language union newspapers, Robotnik Polski ("The Polish Worker"), was stripped of his French citizenship, in the wake of his commitment to and stance in defense of the working class. A support committee for Thomas Olszanski was formed by André Malraux, Paul Nizan, Henri Barbusse, Eugène Dabit, Paul Signac, Jean and André Lurçat and Georges Friedmann.

Polish immigration to the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coalfield
Lieutenant-Colonel Antoni Zdrojewski parachuted into France to head the special "Monique-W" network, responsible for executing the plan. The operation provided the Allies with data on 120 German weapons launching pads, helping to destroy 82 of them. But on 20 March 1944, the Polish government-in-exile issued a directive instructing the POWN to avoid "any interference with the French Resistance and Communist movements". Despite this, on 29 May 1944, Daniel Zdrojewski and Jacques Chaban-Delmas agreed to place the fighting units under the tactical command of the Forces françaises de l'intérieur. Arrests in June 1944 In June 1944, Polish resistance fighters in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coalfield were arrested in large numbers, following in the footsteps of those in southern France and Paris. Among those arrested was Jerzy Paczkowski, later executed in Hamburg-Neuengamme. Polish resistance fighters were also active in other regions. The Mario group, in German-annexed Lorraine, was studied by Pierre Schild. According to him, out of 900 active members, 30% were non-French, including 1/3 Poles, almost all of them fellow travelers or PCF activists. In Roche-la-Molière, in the Loire department, resistance was organized by chaplain Macla Kapok. In the south-east of the département, towards Ponthieu, Polish miners joined the Francs Tireurs et Partisans (FTP) maquis, where 23 Resistance fighters were killed, including the young Polish woman Thérèse Polanski, aged 19.

Sorcery Ridge
Sorcery Ridge is a mountain ridge extending east of Tencho Glacier on the southern flank of Mount Edziza in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is bounded on the north and south by valleys containing unnamed streams while to the east and northeast it is bounded by Tennaya Creek valley. Sorcery Ridge is the namesake of Sorcery Creek which flows adjacent to Tennaya Creek from another ridge just to the south. The highest point of Sorcery Ridge reaches an elevation of at its westernmost end. Sorcery Ridge is one of three ridges east of the Big Raven Plateau named by Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther, the other two being Cartoona Ridge to the south and Idiji Ridge to the north. Geology Sorcery Ridge consists largely of sedimentary, volcanic, granitic and metamorphic rocks of Mesozoic and Paleozoic age. These rocks are overlain by Pliocene alkali basalt flows of the Nido Formation which are in turn overlain by Pleistocene alkali basalt, hawaiite, tristanite, trachybasalt and mugearite flows and pyroclastic breccia of the Ice Peak Formation. The Nido and Ice Peak formations are two geological formations comprising the Mount Edziza volcanic complex which has been the focus of volcanic activity since the Miocene. The northern side of Sorcery Ridge contains a volcanic plug called The Neck. It consists mainly of trachyte of the Ice Peak Formation and is about in diameter, representing the eroded remains of a parasitic vent on the southeastern flank of the Ice Peak stratovolcano. Two distinctive flows of Edziza obsidian are present on Sorcery Ridge which are also part of the Ice Peak Formation.

Georges-Besse plant
Eurodif's closure and dismantling date was the subject of difficult negotiations between EDF and Areva, for which former French Prime Minister François Fillon called for a rapid agreement. In 2011, the Fukushima disaster led to a sharp drop in global demand for enriched uranium. Until the Fukushima accident in March 2011, the Georges-Besse plant had been supplying the Japanese power plants, which are now virtually all shut down. The plant's closure was therefore brought forward to May 10, 2012, when the shutdown procedure began. Dismantling On June 7, 2012, the plant definitively ceased enrichment activities. Dismantling will begin with the recovery of around 300 tonnes of radioactive and chemical materials to lower the level of radioactivity. To this end, the PRISME process (intensive rinsing followed by venting of Eurodif) is due to start in February 2013. This prismatic process will use tons of chlorine trifluoride, the first time in the world that such a tonnage will be used, to wash so many pipes. According to the network sortir du nucléaire, dismantling the plant will entail a risk for workers, as well as an increase in discharges from the facility. A public inquiry was opened in early 2017, before the dismantling of the enrichment plant. Thirty years of work are planned to evacuate 300,000 tonnes of waste, including 200,000 tonnes of very low-level long-lived radioactive waste, in particular 150,000 tonnes of steel. Since 2015, an initial clean-up phase has been completed, enabling the recovery of 350 tonnes of uranium hexafluoride. Work is due to start in 2018, with an average workforce of 300.

Eberhard Hertel
Eberhard Hertel (; 29 November 1938 – 20 June 2024) was a German singer who was known for Volkstümliche Musik. Life and career Hertel had originally wanted to become a farmer after leaving school, but he then chose otherwise. He found that he preferred singing the local Volkslieder (a genre of German folk music), which led him to become a star in East Germany. His musical career began in 1976 at a talent contest called Heitere Premiere ("Cheerful Premiere"). In the 1970s success came his way when he appeared onstage with Hannelore Kalin (b. 1939) as a yodeller. In 1979, both were chosen as East Germany's most successful yodelling duo. Over many years, Hertel was a regular on the Volkstümliche Musik programme Oberhofer Bauernmarkt ("Oberhof Farmers' Market"), which was recorded at the Hotel Panorama in Oberhof (and indeed, the show was named after a series of public events held at that same hotel). He did renditions of a great many well known Saxon folksongs on the programme; in particular, his interpretation of Der Vugelbeerbaam ("The Rowan Tree") with Gerhard Honig's orchestra in 1984 was greatly popular.

Hoseang Prayer Center
Hoseang Prayer Center was a new religious group established in South Korea in 1964 by Kim Jong-kyu (real name: Kim Yong-ki). South Korean Christian pastors claim that this group is connected to the formation of Shincheonji, a new religious movement in South Korea. Lee Man-hee was a member of Yoo Jae-yeol's Tabernacle Temple, and Yoo Jae-yeol was a member of Hoseang Prayer Center. Early life and career Kim Yong-gi was born in 1925 in Inje, Gangwon Province, Korea. At the age of 23, he joined the police force. During the Korean War, he experienced the loss of his entire family, which left him severely traumatized. For over a decade, he suffered from mental illness and related complications. Reported religious awakening and founding of Hoseang Prayer Center At the age of 39, Kim Yong-gi claimed to have received a revelation from Jesus. Following this experience, he joined a church in Inje and reportedly recovered from his ailments within three days. When he was 40, after holding his first gathering at Sajaam in Sangdo-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, his following grew. Reportedly guided by his revelations, he established the Hoseang Prayer Center. Growth and activities Kim Yong-gi promoted his healing experience among his followers and focused on healing through laying on of hands, anointing, and speaking in tongues. At one point, the Hoseang Prayer Center attracted around 500 devotees. In 1965, he relocated to the foothills of Cheonggyesan Mountain in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, with about 50 followers. Relocation and decline In 1966, the community moved again to Seokcheon-ri, Sancheok-myeon, Jungwon County, Chungcheongbuk Province. The followers lived collectively but eventually, the community disbanded. The devotees referred to Kim Yong-gi as "Lord" or "Father" and believed that the apocalyptic judgment was happening at that moment, that the earthly paradise was being established, and that the Hoseang Prayer Center was the refuge during the end times. The Bible was used as their scripture.

Rock 'n Play
The Rock 'n Play was a baby sleeper produced by Fisher-Price. The product launched in 2009 and sold 4.7 million units before its initial recall in 2019. Approximately 100 infant deaths have been connected with use of the sleeper. Several of the deaths were caused by infants rolling onto their stomachs and being suffocated by the sleeper's padding. Background The product launched in 2009 and its use went against established safe sleep practices known to reduce the risk of SIDS. Reported infant deaths from the Rock 'n Play were due to asphyxia. It allowed infants to sleep at an inclined angle, with features like rocking vibration and music to soothe babies. Fisher-Price advertised it as the first sleeper that allowed babies to sleep in this position safely. The sleeper was developed in consultation with one family doctor and without any clinical research supporting its safety. Fisher-Price did not usually involve medical professionals when developing its products. A pediatrician was later hired by the company during a lawsuit about the product's liability in infant deaths. The Fisher-Price Safety Commission warned the company about safety concerns three times between 2008 and 2009. The company considered branding it as a "soother" to discourage leaving sleeping babies in the device, but market research found this label was less appealing to customers. The product was also marketed to parents whose babies had acid reflux. The American Academy of Pediatrics' Back to Sleep campaign in the mid-1990s recommended that "babies should not sleep for long periods in inclined devices". In babies under one year old, dying during sleep is a leading cause of accidental death. The recommendation that babies sleep flat on their backs, in an empty crib, halved this death rate.

Pende revolt
Between May and September 1931, the Pende people revolted against Belgian colonial rule in Kwilu. The revolt was quickly suppressed by the colonial authorities but was one of the largest revolts in the Congo during the Interwar period. Causes A report by Omer Dewilliamort discusses a number of causes of the revolt. The head tax and the supplementary tax, which were used as legal justification for forced labour in the Congo, had been significantly increased. One of the ways the Congolese were forced to earn money to pay the head tax with was by picking palm fruit, and the price for 30 kilos of fruit had been lowered from 2.5 francs to only one franc. To pay the new supplementary tax, a man with two wives had to cut 2.5 tonnes of fruit. Additionally, the Pende people often faced difficulties in getting paid at all when they delivered fruit. Industrialists' representatives had been committing various thefts and abuses. Perks customarily paid to chiefs had been suppressed. In the Yongo chefferie, where people were required by the State to grow food crops, the HCB failed to buy up the bulk of these food crops.

Pende revolt
Revolt The origins of the revolt began with recruitment efforts on behalf of the Huileries du Congo Belge (HCB), a subsidiary of Lever Brothers, ancestor of the actual Unilever. A territorial agent named Edouard Burnotte was working with a company recruiter, Alphonse Vanhombeek, as well as some messengers. They began their efforts on 14 May. Burnotte and Vanhombeek had little success at first, because the men hid in the bush. In response, Burnotte ordered messengers accompanying him to arrest the women and shut them up in a barn. Also on 14 May, 47 men were lashed in Kilamba for having failed to deliver their palm fruit quota to a Compagnie du Kasi (CK) oil mill in Bangi. Bangi was in Kwkwit territoire, 20 minutes away from Kilamba. On the evening of 14 May, Vanhombeek and Burnotte became drunk, and had some of the women shut in the barn brought to them. They then had a long orgy, presumably without the consent of the women. Collignon, one of the men also present at the orgy, later went to Kilamba. There he was jostled by Africans who were upset that he had not provided compensation to a woman named Kafushi, whom he had dallied with and presumably raped, and also according to some, because he had taken chickens without paying for them. Matemo attempted to claim the payment owed to his wife, Kafushi, in accordance to African custom. Collignon slapped Matemo and had him beaten by servants and workers at the oil mill. Colignon lodged a complaint against Matemo, and the territorial administrator, Leonard Vaninthout, sent territorial agent Maximilien Balot to investigate. Balot, accompanied by a soldier and four messengers, encountered a hostile crowd led by Matemo on 8 June. Balot attempted to disperse the crowd by firing a number of shots in the air. When this failed, Balot shot someone in the arm with a hunting rifle. After this Matemo charged at Balot, struck him in the head with a knife, chased him into a bush, and finished him off.

Eubulides timog
Taxonomy Sarah Bank et al. included five samples of Eubulides representatives in their study published in 2021 based on genetic analysis to clarify the phylogeny of the Heteropterygidae. While three samples turned out to be conspecific and belonged to Eubulides igorrote, two others did not fit this species. One of them came from a breeding stock and was described in 2023 by Frank H. Hennemann as Eubulides timog alongside three other species of the genus. The chosen specific name "timog" means "south" or "southern" in Filipino language and refers to the distribution area of the species, which is limited to southern Luzon. Of the specimens collected on April 10, 2011, in Marinfanta, one female is deposited as holotype and another female and two males as paratypes in the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels. A male collected in April 2010 in the Sierra Madre Mountains and two females from Mt. Palakong, a male from Atimonan and a female from Mount Banahaw, which were collected there from April 11 to 14, 2011, are also deposited there as paratypes. Hennemann's specimen collection contains a further 30 paratypes, including 2 juvenile animals, as well as 50 eggs.

Professional and public life He opened a successful law firm in Bethulie and participated actively in matters that had an impact on the community. He also worked as a clerk of the magistrate's court, public prosecutor, mayor, translator, and acting magistrate. From 1879, he served as the chairman of the Bethulie Town Council. Political career Klynveld's political career began in earnest in 1871 when he was elected to the Volksraad, the legislative assembly of the Orange Free State. He served on various committees tasked with the protest against the Cape Colony's annexation of diamond fields, toll associations, railways, and union with the Transvaal. He was known for his clear and eloquent speaking, common sense, and independent mindset, which made him influential in the Volksraad. He was a strong supporter of President Reitz, and later President Marthinus Theunis Steyn. In 1896, under Steyn's administration, he was appointed with Abraham Fischer to advise the Transvaal government regarding the Jameson Raid, an event that heightened regional tensions. In 1887, during a period of public unrest triggered by President Johannes Brand's resignation – a result of misunderstandings and disputes within the Volksraad – Klynveld encountered a notable situation. He was erroneously associated with the crisis, leading to a symbolic protest in which his effigy was burned in a coffin during a mock funeral at Bloemfontein's Market Square. Despite the dramatic nature of the event, it was reportedly conducted in good spirits. As a member of the Executive Council of the Free State, he decided, along with the president, to declare war against the British Empire, which ushered in the Anglo-Boer War. Later years and legacy

Tribunal de Paix de Gombe
The Tribunal de Paix de Gombe (meaning "Gombe Peace Court") constitutes one of the eight peace courts located in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is situated at 6 Avenue de la Mission in the Gombe commune, strategically adjacent to the headquarters of the judicial police of the Public Prosecutor's Office. The court holds jurisdiction over a wide range of legal matters, including civil and criminal cases. Its authority aligns with the territorial boundaries of the Court of Appeal of Gombe, allowing it to preside over the communes of Gombe, Lingwala, Kinshasa, and Barumbu. History The establishment of the Tribunal de Paix de Gombe is rooted in legislative enactment n° 68-248, promulgated on 10 September 1968. This statute mandated the establishment of peace courts in every town and municipality, which supplanted the former police courts and customary jurisdictions. In Kinshasa, this legislative directive was operationalized through order n° 79–105, issued on May 4, 1979, which was pivotal in designating the head offices and specifying the duties of the newly instituted peace courts. Notably, Article 1 of this order played a key role in establishing eight peace courts within Kinshasa, including the contemporary Tribunal de Paix de Gombe. Organization The Tribunal de Paix de Gombe is structured into several key components, including two councils: a council of magistrates composed of one president, one or several judges, and at least two assessors. There is also a council of clerks headed by a head clerk, as elucidated by the combined reading of articles 24 and 27 of J.O.C. Code. In addition, there is a provision for a secretariat. Despite the presence of assessor judges as required by the legislator, they are scarcely visible in the courtroom and are seldom involved in court proceedings. The Council of Magistrates

Interconnected-arm gibbon
The term does not appear anywhere else in the novel, although there are two older "interconnected-back gibbons" () who in the novel's early chapters serve diligently under the Monkey King at the Flower-Fruit Mountain as generals Beng () and Ba (). One of them is highly knowledgeable and he is the one that directs the Monkey King to begin his immortality-seeking journey. Since their peers are two red-buttock baboons (who are made Marshals Ma () and Liu ()), and also because the words "interconnected-arm" (tongbi) and "interconnected-back" (tongbei) are near-homonyms, it would appear that the Monkey King is the Intelligent Stone Monkey and Beng and Ba are the interconnected-arm gibbons. However, this interpretation is controversial, as Beng, Ba, Ma, and Liu—who lose basically every battle without the Monkey King—are too incompetent to be rated so highly by the Buddha. In the 17th-century sequel The Later Journey to the West () by an anonymous author, one of the gibbons formerly under the Monkey King becomes the Interconnected-Arm Immortal ().

Quashing the Demons' Revolt Quashing the Demons' Revolt (also translated as The Sorcerers' Revolt) is a 17th-century fantasy novel compiled by Feng Menglong who added twenty chapters to an older, twenty-chapter novel attributed to Luo Guanzhong, The Three Sui Quash the Demons' Revolt. A large part of Feng's new chapters follows Yuan Gong (; Mr. Yuan—Yuan being a homonym for "gibbon"), a white interconnected-arm gibbon not only exceptionally nimble and skilled in martial arts, but also versed in Taoism and apparently immortal. The novel begins with two well-known gibbon tales, from Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Lü (4th century BC) and Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue (1st century) respectively, except Feng combined them onto the same character: Yuan Gong catches 18 arrows shot at him by King Gong of Chu (died 560 BC) before escaping from the legendary archer Yang Youji, then reappears about a century later to challenge the swordswoman Yuenü (whose real identity is Xuannü in the novel). Later, Xuannü takes him to Heaven where he becomes responsible for heavenly books that he is forbidden to browse. One day, overcome by curiosity, he opens a secret box and brings Heaven's Teachings to earth, leading to a series of disasters that culminate in Wang Ze's rebellion in the 1040s. Eventually Yuan Gong redeems himself and for his role in quashing the revolt, he is restored to his former position of Lord of White Cloud Cave ().

Ports of Entry of China
The vagaries and hardships of the twentieth century meant that the number of open ports in China varied wildly as circumstances and governments changed. By 1978, there were only 51 ports of entry open to the outside world, including 18 water ports (17 on the coast and one on an inland waterway), eight air ports (seven international airports and one special airport), nine railroad ports, and 16 highway ports. Due to political reasons, most land ports were opened with socialist countries, and foreign trade was mainly in the form of barter and aid. In 1978, the volume of foreign trade goods entering and leaving the country through the Class I ports was 70.33 million tons, and the total value of import and export trade through the various types of ports was 20.64 billion US dollars, with 5,658,000 passengers entering and exiting the country, and a total of 325,000 ships, planes, trains, and cars). After the start of the reform and opening, and especially after Deng Xiaoping's southern tour, the Chinese government started opening a new wave of ports; between 1978 and 1993, 150 new national ports were opened, 50 new ports were opened in 1992 and 1993 alone. By 1993, there were 201 Class I ports in China, including 117 water transport ports (65 coastal and 52 inland waterway ports), 46 air transport ports, 12 railroad ports and 35 highway ports, and all the province-level entities in China, except for landlocked Qinghai and Ningxia, had open ports. In 1993, the volume of foreign trade cargo in and out of the Class I ports amounted to 305 million tons, and the total amount of import and export trade through all kinds of ports was 195.72 billion U.S. dollars, 95.68 million passengers entering and leaving the country, and 8.989 million ships, planes, trains, and cars.

Worcestershire Militia
Civil war Control of the TBs was one of the major points of dispute between Charles I and Parliament that led to the First English Civil War. When open warfare broke out neither side made much use of the TBs beyond securing the county armouries for their own full-time troops who would serve anywhere in the country, many of whom were former trained bandsmen, or using the TBs as auxiliary units for garrisons. The King commissioned two loyal members of parliament, Sir John Pakington and his brother-in-law Sir Samuel Sandys to raise the Worcestershire Militia for him. However, as the Parliamentary army approached Worcester, the Royalist commander, Prince Rupert decided that the old city walls were indefensible, and evacuated the city. To cover the evacuation, Rupert fought one of the first serious actions of the war on 23 September 1642 at Powick Bridge, south of Worcester. Afterwards, the city was plundered by the Parliamentarian troops. However, the Parliamentary army left on 19 October, marching to the Battle of Edgehill, and the Royalists were able to garrison Worcester and improve the fortifications. The garrison consisted of the Worcester TB regiment of foot under Sir Martin Sandys (elder brother of Sir Samuel), while the King commissioned Sir Thomas Lyttelton (or Littleton), 1st Baronet as colonel of the county's horse and foot (presumably the 'country' units outside the city of Worcester). Sir Samuel commanded volunteer (full-time) regiments of horse and foot based at Worcester, probably including some of the trained bandsmen or at least their weapons.

Worcestershire Militia
The regiment left its quarters round Totnes on 8 May 1794 and returned to summer camp on Roborough Down. The camp broke up in November and the regiment was quartered in Falmouth, Redruth and Truro in Cornwall. In March 1795 the company at Redruth went to Penzance to put down disturbances, and the regiment was also used to arrest smugglers. In April 1796 around 3,000 striking Cornish tin miners approached Truro, seized the magistrates and seriously wounded a corporal of the regiment. The part of the regiment quartered at the town, about 300 strong, was at drill under Maj Ambrose St John; he issued ammunition and drew them up to prevent the rioters entering the town. The rioters attempted to seize the men's muskets, and were then driven back across the bridge at the point of the bayonet by the Grenadier Company. The magistrates read the Riot Act and gave the rioters an hour to disperse; St John also ordered the men to load their muskets and the two 6-pounders, which provoked a barrage of stones thrown by the rioters, casing several injuries to the militiamen. At the end of the hour, with the numbers of rioters increasing rather than dispersing, the magistrates ordered the 6-pounders to be fired over their heads and the militiamen to charge with the bayonet. The result was 20–30 wounded, a number of ringleaders arrested, and the crowd dispersed for the night. They assembled again next day, in greater numbers, but faced by the militia's muskets they eventually went home. Detachments of the regiment also forcibly dispersed large mobs of rioters at Helstone, Penzance and Land's End.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal%20von%20Degenfeld
Hannibal von Degenfeld
Hannibal Freiherr von Degenfeld (1647/8 – 12 October 1691) was a German military officer and nobleman who served the Venetian army, Bavarian Army, Dutch States Army and Royal Danish Army. He fought in Venetian service during the siege of Candia and the Morean War, and helped to establish the Bavarian army and commanded it during the battle of Vienna. Von Degenfeld also served in the Dutch army during the Franco-Dutch War and the Dano-Norwegian army in the Scanian War. Early life and family Born in 1647 or 1648, Hannibal von Degenfeld was the youngest son of Christoph Martin von Degenfeld and Anna Maria Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden. His father was a Protestant military commander from Swabia who served both the Habsburgs and their enemies, the Swedes and French, during the Thirty Years War, and in 1642–1649 was in Venetian service in Dalmatia during the Cretan War against the Ottoman Empire. Hannibal's five brothers followed their father's military career, two of them dying on the battlefield; three of them also entered the service of Venice in the Cretan War. Of his sisters, the most notable was Luise, who married the Raugrave Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine. Education and the Siege of Candia After his father's death, like his other siblings, Hannibal von Degenfeld came under the guardianship of his eldest brother, Ferdinand. Degenfeld was sent to the care of a certain Wolfstehl in Heilbronn, who took in and educated many sons of the nobility. There Degenfeld learned French, exercised in knightly manner, and visited the local school. In 1666, having reached adulthood, he was sent to Crete, where his brothers Adolf and Christoph were commanding a Venetian regiment during the Siege of Candia. Degenfeld distinguished himself through bravery and ability, coming to command a company and the rank of major in his brothers' regiment. At the end of the war in 1669, the Venetian Senate awarded him a yearly pension of 500 ducats with the request to return to Venetian service whenever the Republic would call upon him.

Sverdrup's Fram expedition
After rounding Coburg Island, the Fram sailed through Jones Strait to the unknown shores of Elsmere Island to find a place to winter. They found an ice-free fjord and named it after the ship. The surroundings also made a favorable impression: the shores were covered with lush vegetation for the Arctic, much to the delight of botanist Simmons. However, Sverdrup did not take into account that the entrance to the fjord was full of underwater rocks that opened up at low tide, and on 28 August, the harbor had to be abandoned. The weather during this time was foggy, with continuous rain and gale force winds pushing the ship westward. Despite the storm, a deep bay (Havn-fjord) was found where the Fram could be brought ashore. Sverdrup was worried about whether there was any wildlife on shore to provide fresh meat for the men and dogs. Reconnaissance by dinghy showed that there was no better place to anchor. Preparations for the winter began on 1 September: Nödtvedt screwed eye bolts into the coastal rocks (according to C. Johnson, they were still in place in 2014), and the Fram was securely anchored from the stern. Trouble began immediately: apparently the Norwegians caught some kind of infection from Piri's men. Peder Henriksen was particularly ill, suffering from coughing up blood and swelling of the legs, and there was no doctor on board to insist on compliance with the regimen or to monitor the correctness of the measures taken. The illness did not stop Sverdrup: until the polar night began, his party — consisting of the captain himself, Isachsen, Fosheim, and Stoltz, loaded into a dinghy with a team of dogs and traveled by sea to the next fjord, Jones Bay (called Boat Bay), from where they began their land survey. However, winter came early, the bay was covered with a layer of grease ice (ice crystallizing on the surface), winds brought dense sea ice into the fjord, and it became impossible to travel by dinghy, and the Fram was still away. It was decided to wait for the ice to solidify

Sverdrup's Fram expedition
The most dangerous moment of the entire voyage came on 27 May 1900, when the expedition nearly lost the Fram. Sparks from the galley pipe set fire to the awning stretched over the entire ship, the roof of the deckhouse, and then the wood and 16 kayaks soaked in paraffin for waterproofing caught fire. There was a tank of of kerosene on the deck and ammunition boxes nearby. The fire was discovered early because Simmons was out for an afternoon walk. Thanks to Simmons' determination and the team's cohesiveness, the ammunition was moved and the fire was extinguished, as there was an open ice hole under the side. It took about half an hour to fight the fire, and it was fortunate that the fuel tank was strong enough and tightly sealed. Losses were minor: all the kayaks, many sets of skis, wood, mainmast sails and running rigging, sheepskins and polar bear skins were lost; tin and copper utensils were melted. Nearly all of this was restored. The hull was completely intact; the deck and masts were slightly scorched. Simmons' services were rewarded by the commander: the peninsula at Hell's Gate was named after the botanist. Polar summer

Sverdrup's Fram expedition
In early August, the Fram was delayed only by the absence of four travelers. On 5 August, Schey, looking around with binoculars, noticed movement and a Norwegian flag on land. Sverdrup himself went to meet Isaksen's party: it turned out that the group members had split up because of the persistently bad weather — two went by dinghy and two insured from the shore. Due to severe ice conditions, Bye, Simmons, Isaksen, and Henriksen spent 10 days on a small island, enduring rain, hurricane winds, and lack of food. There was also good news: from the highlands, it could be seen that Jones Strait was free of ice on the eastern side, so with a favorable wind, Fram could well come out of the fjords. On 6 August, the ice broke up, and the Fram could begin its advance toward Greenland. The stormy weather had to be waited for in Havn Fjord, and during two days of anchoring at the old place it was possible to sew up the sails, replace the tackle and work out the blocks, reload coal from the hold and put Braskerud's gravestone in order. By 16 August, Greenland was already visible in the fog, and the next day the crew arrived at Godhavn, on the south coast of Disko Island. The stay in the Danish colony lasted three days. During this time, the team members learned news, met with locals, and stocked up on coal for the return trip and some "luxuries" (coffee, tobacco, and fresh bread). Most of the dogs were returned to their former owners, but the older animals were shot (according to Sverdrup — for human reasons: the Eskimos did not feed dogs that were no longer able to work). The locals willingly took the carcasses for meat and skins. Sverdrup took several individuals of both sexes to Norway for breeding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aural%20diversity
Aural diversity
“Auraldiversity”, consciously echoing neurodiversity, was coined by Prof. John Levack Drever, who first presented the term and concept at Hearing Landscape Critically, Harvard University, in 2015. The term arose from the findings of his study of the noise impact of high-speed hand dryers and the inadequacy of policy and guidance of acoustics. The Aural Diversity Project was founded in 2018 by Andrew Hugill with funding from GNResound Ltd and Arts Council England. It has staged several academic conferences and some innovative concerts which combined aurally divergent musicians and audiences to explore new ways of listening. The Aural Diversity Network, funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, was established in 2021. The book Aural Diversity, co-edited by Drever and Hugill, was published in 2022. In 2024, the development consultancy Arup Acoustics published their Aural Diversity Toolkit in consultation with the network and the Welsh Government included Aural Diversity in their “Noise and Soundscape Plan for Wales 2023-2028”. The Leverhulme Trust Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub (LAURA) was established in 2024 with a £2.2 million award at the University of Salford and Goldsmiths, University of London.

Glexis Novoa
Glexis Novoa: The Cankama Sutta, a solo exhibition at Museum of Art and Design in the Freedom Tower, from Miami Dade College, was presented in 2019. The site-specific wall drawings created for the show established a conversation with themes and concepts in the artist's practice. For instance, the drawings are directly connected with a sculptural body of work produced in Havana in 2015. For the artist, the Buddhist concept of Cankama Sutta relates to the immigrant experience through its walking meditation origin. The Pérez Art Museum Miami displayed Glexis Novoa's artwork in its galleries for the 2023-2024 rehang of their collections. The large-scale sculpture Untitled ‘Practical period’ | III Havana Biennale from 1989 – the year of the collapse of the Eastern Block – and made of oil on paper, wood & canvas, wooden structure contemplates symbols and visual elements of socialist discourse and connections with Cuban history. Collections (selections) Glexis Novoa's artworks are included in the collections of art institutions in the likes of Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida; Lowe Art Museum at University of Miami, Florida; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona, Spain; and the Wifredo Lam Centre for Contemporary Art in Havana, Cuba.

Egyptian cultural dress
19th century women's indoor shoes were typically slippers called mezz, and outdoor shoes were calf length boots called khuff. Baboog were also worn as outdoor shoes. Red or yellow leather called Morocco was typically used for shoes. Some women wore wooden pattens called kabkab or kubkab outside, which were ornamented with mother of pearl and silver. These were worn by both genders in the baths. Socks and stockings were uncommon. For the past few centuries, sarma embroidery in Egypt has been used for military dress uniforms, wedding dresses, and clerical garments, particularly for Copts and Jews. It typically uses floral, vegetal, and calligraphic motifs. Imitation sirma embroidery is done on machine and used on dresses in the Delta. Women in the 19th century also wore headresses consisting of a cap and scarves wound around it, which jewelry was hung from. This cap was called a tarboosh, and the scarves were faroodeeyeh. The headdress itself was called a rabtah. Sometimes the front was decorated with spangles of gilt or silver, and the fabric was plain black or rose muslin or cotton. Lower-class women sometimes wore the rabtah, but often wore a simple kerchief tied over the hair. The mizagee was another common item for women. It was a fillet made of a 5 foot long black or rose colored muslin folded horizontally to the width of a finger or less. The center 12-13 inches were decorated with spangles in diamond or boss patterns. At each end were a similarly decorated 12-13 inches, and an edging and silk tassels. The center sometimes had an edging with spangles. It was tied just above the edge of the rabtah with the decoration centered, and the ends were brought over the shoulders and hung over the chest.

Other fillets made of jewels were popular among the middle and upper classes. The kussah was 7-8 inches long, and made of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, or pearls set in gold or silver. It was worn in front of the rabtah and attached with hooks. The 'en'ebeh was the same, but 14-15 inches long. The shawateh (sing. shateh) was a pair of ornaments made of three strands of pearls, each the length of a kussah, and united by a pierced emerald. Sometimes it was strung in a netted pattern instead of strands, with a few small emeralds sometimes included. It could be attached to the earrings, the front of the rabtah with festoons, or to a kussah's hooks and worn in the back of the headdress. Lower-class women also wore the sheddah benad'kah, a string of Venetian sequins (a type of coin), in the same manner as the kussah or 'en'ebeh. The kurs are round convex jewelry items, about 5 inches in diameter, sewn to the top of a ladies tarboosh. It was generally worn by upper and middle-class women, but sometimes lower-class women had a gold kurs. The diamond kurs was made of diamonds set in gold, or less commonly silver. It was quite heavy. The gold kurs was a plate of thin embossed gold. It had an emerald or green glass cabochon set in the center. The kurs and kussah worn on the outside of the red bridal shawl, and decorated the bier of a woman. A similar piece called a tepelikler or tepelik is also traditionally worn in Anatolia.

For the average Egyptian, many of their clothes may be sewn at home, by a neighbor, or by a local tailor. Professional tailors are often mem or women who are unwed or widowed, due to social expectations about men as providers. Measurements by tailors are usually taken with their hands or arms as reference, or occasionally objects like floor tiles. Nose rings were worn into the early 20th century, and were worn as early as the 1830s in Egypt. Most of Egypt at one time in the previous two centuries has or had a traditional nose piercing, regardless of region or ethnicity, with the exception of Siwi Amazigh women. The Upper Egyptian name for a nose ring, khuzam, dates back to at least the 1830s. 19th century nose rings were typically an inch to an inch and a half diameter, made of brass wire, strung with beads, and worn on the right side of the nose. In Bahariya, the nose piercing is called the gatar or qatrah. It is made from 12 carat gold, never silver, using filigree or granulation. Local women believe a silver piercing would damage the blood vessels in their nose. It is only worn by married women on the left nostril. Traditionally the women of the region believe wearing the nose ring prevents pains and headaches. In Sinai, the nose ring is called a shenaf. It is made of gold with dangles and sometimes colored beads. It resembles Palestinian nose rings. In Nubia, the nose ring is called a zimam. It is worn by Nubians, the Rashayda, and Bishariya. The Rashayda usually have simple nose rings, resembling the 1830s examples. Some women in these regions still wear their nose rings. Netted bead collars are a not uncommon jewelry item for rural women. The kirdan necklace is also popular, and usually made of gold or imitations.

The embroidery of the preceding dresses commonly framed the seams, with a vertical line in the center top of the sleeves and the center of the dress extending down from the neck slit. Flanking lines of simple embroidery may also be added. The neckline had a thick, usually solid, embroidery, and a secondary frame of embroidery a few inches away that fastened the facing down. The bottom of the neck slit may have a diamond (or three), a square, or a short column of embroidery. From here, a line of descending trefoils may sprout. The shoulders had bands, typically of diamond lattice patterns. From there, a line of descending trefoils may sprout down the sleeves on the center top. Between the neckline and shoulder bands, triangles of embroidery, usually with a diamond pattern, would sit. The common motifs were descending trefoils, crosses, diamonds (which may have originally been stylized crosses), lattices, chevrons, and solid sections of talli. Many of these motifs may be of Coptic origin. The tarha is part of everyday dress for many Middle Upper Egyptian women. Middle Upper Egyptian women's less casual dress also includes the shaal. The shaal is not exclusively worn in Upper Egypt, but it is more common there. In Assuit, tulle bi telli cloth is produced and has a special importance, sometimes being called "assuit fabric". It is made of bobbinet and metal or plastic strips. It is used for women's dresses. A similar fabric called tel kirma is made in Turkey, and likely is the predecessor of tulle bi telli. Telli embroidery is used elsewhere in Egypt, and once was used all throughout the Egyptian Nile Valley, especially Upper Egypt. However, many examples were on solid weave fabrics, which are usually cheaper than bobbinet or tulle and more practical for the budgets of local women. In Bani 'Adi, the traditional dress is a very large T shaped robe of dark blue fabric. The neck opening and seams are embroidered with red cotton or acrylic thread, and additional lines of embroidery decorate the sleeves and sides.

The srwalayn ḥātem are a type of white cotton sirwal worn by married women. A bride would have at least 7 in her trousseau, as married women were expected to wear these every day. There are ḥātem motifs on the ankles, vertical lines of embroidery with crosses and suns on the sides of the legs, and elaborate tassels on the drawstring (called a dekket). The embroidery colors are black, red, orange, yellow, and green. The tiddī liḥrīr is a tunic with a handwoven striped front panel, and black rayon sleeves and sides. It was everyday wear for early 20th century women. The fabric is dark blue or green with red, yellow, orange, or white stripes, and was made in Kirdasa, though it stopped being produced there by the end of the 20th century. The fabric was also exported to Libya, and sometimes was embellished with telli motifs woven in, in a star pattern, combs, perpendicular stripes, or a passenger train. This fabric was also used for the letshinab nagel ilḥirīr. The tiddī roumyy is a knee length tunic with a handwoven front panel striped in two shades of blue, and black rayon or velvet sleeves and side panels. This rayon may have a monochrome striped pattern. It has a ṭowq teltawayn. It was also daily wear for early to mid 20th century women. The tunic may have originally been made entirely of striped fabric. Sometimes the side panels have an inset called letshinab nagel ilḥirīr, which is a red, black and white striped handwoven fabric from Kirdasa. This may have had an amuletic significance. Over time the length of the tunic has gotten longer. A similar tob of two tone blue stripes was also worn by urban Egyptian women in the mid 19th-century, though it was made of wool instead of cotton. The embroidery motifs in Siwa include the hatem (which may have originally been a cross motif) which is a square or circle divided into 4 sections, the hamsa/furs, crosses, sunbursts, net stitches, triangles, diamonds, stylized spiders (possibly a sun variant), stylized flowers (possibly a sun variant), and fish.

Château de Bayers
The Château de Bayers is a historic château that is located in the commune of Bayers (which merged into the new commune, Aunac-sur-Charente, in 2017), in the French department of Charente in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The château overlooks the Charente river and is about north of Angoulême. History A fortified quadrangular castle existed in the 11th century, built to monitor a ford across the Charente. It was partially destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. In 1295, the land of Bayers (pronounced "bay") passed to a cadet branch of the La Rochefoucauld family. In the 15th century, Guillaume de La Rochefoucauld converted the medieval fortress into the current château beginning in 1434. His descendants, thereafter called de La Rochefoucauld-Bayers, constructed a French garden on a terrace overlooking the river in the 17th century. Guy André Pierre de Montmorency-Laval, 1st Duke of Laval, was born at the château in 1723. After the death of the Marquis of Bayers in 1745, the last La Rochefoucauld owner, Marie-Louise-Françoise de La Rochefoucauld-Bayers, sold the château, by then already in a state of disrepair, to the governor of Angoumois, Jean-Michel Delage, in 1788. Delage died in 1793 before being able to restore the château. In 1803, after the French Revolution, his widow sold the divided estate and château to various owners. After years without maintenance, the château fell into ruin during the 19th and first half of the 20th century.

Battle of Smara (1979)
The Battle of Smara commenced on the night of October 5. The Polisario fighters, confronted with significant defensive positions encircling the city to a depth of 10 to 14 kilometers, initiated an artillery barrage on Moroccan positions, using 122 mm rocket launchers and firing over 1,700 rockets, according to some Moroccan officers. At dawn on October 6, at 6 am, three columns of independence fighters initiated an attack on Moroccan positions from three sides of the city. Concurrently, other units were engaged in countering a potential counteroffensive and the arrival of Moroccan reinforcements from other towns. Two hours before the commencement of the attack, the Polisario fighters were identified and prevented from advancing by a line of outposts. Colonel Driss El Harti, the commanding officer of the garrison, was killed during the initial combat phase. Mohamed Ali Ould Sidi Bechir, the Smara deputy who had joined the Polisario and was present during the fighting, stated that the Sahrawi fighters had managed to breach three protective belts of the city on the southeast side and had entered the city by 6:30 am. The Moroccan forces demonstrated resilience during this initial phase of intense combat, with hand-to-hand combat occurring at select positions. According to the Moroccan garrison, the Sahrawi forces sustained approximately 350 fatalities and lost 50 vehicles during this first day of combat.

Cultural impact of Harry Styles
Valencia presented a lecture in October 2022 at Fordham University titled "Harry Styles vs. Intolerance: How to Make Authentic, Inclusive, Avant-garde, and Joyful Spaces". An expert on fascism and its effects on popular culture in Franco's Spain, Valencia stated, "The more I thought of it, the more I realized that Harry is the epitome of anti-fascism. He's teaching people to be anti-racist and how to create queer spaces". Valencia also noted that "Styles' comfort with gender fluidity" is one of the main reasons that he decided to build a course about him. Rollins College of liberal arts provided an intersession titled "Swift & Styles: The Psychology of Fandom", comparing Taylor Swift and Styles' works of music and "their tropes of love, loss, relationships, and rebellion", reviewing the psychology of their fans, and analyzing their concert videos, films, and interviews to understand the crowd's behavior and act of devotion. In 2023, the music video for "Adore You" was included in the GCSE Media Studies curriculum available to study in English secondary schools. Scholarly interest regarding Styles spans interdisciplinary subjects such as legality, gendered lexicon, folklore, sociology, kinetic energy, and queerness.

Prudenciana Vallejo López de Moreno
During the U.S. Mexico War, Prudenciana was said to be one of the first people to notice the arrival of the sloop-of-war Cyane in San Diego harbor on July 29, 1846, crying out that “a million gringos are coming.” At age 14, she and the Machado children stood on the roof of the chapel of Casa de Machado y Silvas and watched the lowering of the Mexican flag and the raising of the American one. The U.S. military occupation of San Diego led to bitter divisions among residents who supported American rule and those who remained loyal to the Mexican government. Marriage and Family In 1851, when she was 19 years old, Prudenciana married José Matías Moreno, the former secretary of state to Pío Pico, the last Mexican governor of Alta California, and a former captain in the Mexican army during the U.S.-Mexico War. Moreno, who was 13 years older, scraped together a living as a merchant in San Diego and Los Angeles. They took up residence in Casa de López alongside other family members. Twelve years later, Moreno reminisced about the wedding in a letter to his wife, “Do you remember how chiflada [scatter-brained] you were that day? Do you remember that you danced a great deal?” The couple would be separated for many years as war and business drew Moreno away from home for months at a time. The result was an extensive correspondence now in the archives of The Huntington Library.

Prudenciana Vallejo López de Moreno
In 1861, Moreno was appointed subjefe politico de la Frontera (deputy military chief) and commissioned to protect Baja California against filibusters, or unauthorized military expeditions aimed at capturing and annexing Lower California. To that end, he enforced a law prohibiting foreigners from owning land within 60-miles of the border, among them Juan Bandini, a Peruvian-born Californio. The Mexican government confiscated Rancho Tecate and Rancho Guadalupe which Bandini had been granted by former governor Pio Pico in a move of dubious legality. José Matías Moreno's subsequent purchase of those properties led to considerable bad feeling. Prudenciana, who lived among members of the Bandini family in Old Town, was subject to gossip by her neighbors. Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico When her husband secured title to Rancho Guadalupe in 1863 and began to develop the property, Prudenciana joined him there. The former lands of the ex-Misión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe del Norte, the ranch was in the fertile Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, not far from Ensenada. Chaparral-covered mountains flanked the Rio Guadalupe which meandered across the plain. Cattle roamed the valley. Sandy but fertile soil supported the production of wheat, olives, grape vines, pears, and apricots. Kumeyaay (Kumiai) lived in rancherías in the valley, the largest of which was Rincón de los Encinos. A grove of Coast Live Oaks (Quercus agrifolia) defined the location of the settlement. The indigenous population numbered around 330 in 1885. Prudenciana, who spoke the native language, was called on in times of crisis to provide first aid. Like many women of her generation, she could sew up a wound, act as a midwife, and make use of medicinal herbs. She, in turn, relied on the Kumiai community for protection when her husband was absent.

Prudenciana Vallejo López de Moreno
At the age of 37, Prudenciana became a widow. José Matías Moreno died of a stroke on November 30, 1869, at the age of 51 and was buried at the ex-Misión de Guadalupe. She inherited large landholdings, little money, and considerable debts. She relied on the help of Father Antonio D. Ubach, a longtime friend, to help her with complicated legal problems. Shortly after Moreno's death, a pair of enterprising brothers, George Anson Flower and Theron Andrew Flower, worked to get hold of the Moreno land in the Valle de Guadalupe. Natives of New York, the Flowers had moved to California during the Gold Rush and ended up in San Diego running a wholesale liquor business. George, aged 39, courted and married Prudenciana's 16-year-old daughter Dolores in 1871. Theron A. Flower, meanwhile, loaned the Moreno estate $7,000. When the Panic of 1873 and the resulting economic depression made it impossible for the family to meet its obligations, Theron Flower tried to foreclose on the property. A compromise settlement was reached which allowed the Flowers to operate the ranch. After a lengthy lawsuit initiated by Prudenciana's son, José Matías Moreno III, Theron Flower purchased the Rancho ex-Misión de Guadalupe () for $15,000 in 1887. Some of this land was sold in 1907 to Russian Molokans, a group of religious dissenters who fled persecution in their own country. Prudenciana and her heirs retained Rancho San Marcos or Huecos y Baldíos () and El Tigre (), among other properties, until 1943 when the last of the ranch lands were sold.

Antonio Obando
During his time as Secretary of War and Navy he faced the border war with Ecuador. He also had to deal with a conspiracy plot led army officers who were supporters of Bolívar, such as General Sardá who tried to create a military insurrection against the President Santander's government. This plot was discovered in due time and was able to be put down and with the main conspirators arrested and executed on charges of being traitors and insurrectionists. He was also concerned with equipping the small New Granada navy with ships to protect the country's main ports. Later life and death In 1837, with the election of José Ignacio de Márquez as President of New Granada, Obando was replaced as Secretary of War and Navy and was made commander-in-chief of the New Granadan army. Obando would only be commander for little more than year as he resigned his post after a series of disagreements with President Márquez. After he resigned from the army he retired from public life. He dedicated his time to his farm near Tocaima, in 1840 when General Santander fell gravely ill Obando was by his bedside along with Santander's other friends and political allies and was in the room at the time of his death. The two had been lifelong friends since the time they had spent together in the Llanos in 1818, in his final testament Santander stated that Obando owed him 500 pesos, he also gifted Obando a wooden chest that had been made in England that Santander had acquired when he lived in exile in Europe. During the funeral procession Obando was one of the few that carried his casket. Obando died in Tocaima, Cundinamarca, on 30 December 1849. He was married to Eulalia Almeida, they had two daughters: Carlota and Josefa. In gratitude for his services to the Republic, the then President of the Republic, José Hilario López issued a posthumous decree on 5 January 1850, honoring the deceased general and ordered that the first column of the National Army mourn for eight days.

Worcestershire Farmers Limited
At the time of the opening of the new Worcester premises in 1958, Sir Frederick Brundrett had written that 'an outstanding feature of this successful organisation is the manner in which the society's strong committee of management has diligently sought to serve the interests of the farmers’ of Worcestershire rather than extend the activities of the society into neighbouring counties.' The continued expansion at the beginning of the 1960s, however, was to bring a change of heart. In May 1964 WFL had opened its first branch outside Worcestershire at Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire but already the directors were making more ambitious plans. A proposal was made that WFL should merge with the neighbouring Warwickshire Farmers Limited to create one of the six largest agricultural cooperatives in England, with a total membership of 5,800 and a turnover approaching £6,000,000. This seems to have received widespread backing from the Worcestershire farmers but was openly questioned in Warwickshire where a director of the county NFU tried to reassure his colleagues that it was not just a case of the smaller Warwickshire Farmers Limited being ‘swallowed up’ by the much bigger WFL but rather ‘a happy marriage of equal partners’. Eventually, a joint meeting of WFL and Warwickshire Farmers Limited members, held at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire on 28 October 1964, unanimously confirmed the merger of the two cooperatives. The new combined society, which was to be called Midland Shire Farmers, was scheduled to operate from January 1, 1965, under the chairmanship of T.B. Davies of WFL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamaesoma
Chamaesoma
This species arrives at a lower number of segments and legs through a process of post-embryonic development that deviates from the anamorphosis usually observed in the order Chordeumatida. Like other species in this order, C. broelemanni is teloanamorphic, adding segments and legs through a series of molts until the adult stage, when the molting stops and the adult emerges with a final number of segments and legs. This species, however, reaches maturity and stops molting one stage earlier, in the eighth stage rather than in a ninth stage. Furthermore, C. broelemanni conforms to the pattern usually observed in most species of Chordeumatida only through the first five stages, then adds one fewer segment than usual upon entering the sixth and seventh stages. Thus, in this process, C. broelemanni goes through stages of development with 6, 8, 11, 15, 19, 22, and 24 segments, before emerging as an adult with 26 segments in the final stage. This process is the same as that observed in the species Opisthocheiron canayerensis, one of the other species in the order Chordeumatida with only 26 segments in adults, but with one difference. In C. broelemanni, the transformation of legs into gonopods in the male begins in the sixth stage and continues until the eighth and final stage. In O. canayerensis, however, this process does not begin until the seventh stage. Like other millipedes in the family Chamaesomatidae, Chamaesoma features small paranota. Like most other genera in this family, this genus also features anterior gonopods with well developed telepodites. In this genus, these telepodites are long, smooth, and curved. Unlike most other genera in the same family, however, this genus features body pigmentation.

Olha Kobylianska Chernivtsi Drama Theatre
In 1954, the theater was named after a Ukrainian writer Olha Kobylianska and a monument to her was erected in front of the building. During 1977–1980, the building underwent renovation. On 2 August 1980, a new monument by sculptors Anatolii Skyba and Mykola Myroshnychenko was installed. In 2003, "Golden Applause of Bukovyna" yearly comedy festival was founded. In 2005, marking the 100th anniversary of the theater a commemorative silver coin depicting the theater was released by the National Bank of Ukraine. In 2023, a new workshop stage, oriented at smaller scale experimental plays, was opened in the nearby building of the Austrian era electrical substation. Later that year a small "panorama stage" was opened on the third floor of the theater. In 2023, the theater reported attendance of forty-one thousand. Architecture Chernivtsi Theatre is a three-story baroque revival building and the dominant element of an architectural ensemble of city's Teatralna Square. The avant-corps of the building has four decorative columns and ends with a pediment on which a relief shield of the city coat of arms is installed. The portal of the theater is decorated with a sculpture of the Greek goddess Melpomene, the main entrance is decorated with a composition with a high-relief of Apollo surrounded by characters from antique cultures. The building is covered with a complex multi-gable roof, which looks like a dome topped by a spire.

Wives of Esau
Reuven Chaim Klein summarizes how the various Medieval Jewish commentators broadly provide four interpretations to address the inconsistency between the accounts of Esau's wives in Genesis 26 and Genesis 36: Rashi suggests that the three women listed are all the same individuals, but referred to by different names. Sefer ha-Yashar and several other commentators largely agree with Rashi, but assert that Esau had four wives, as they do not equate Judith with Oholibamah. Nahmanides generally concurs, adding that Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite, were sisters, not the same person, thus proposing that Esau had five wives. Abraham Maimuni, however, completely rejects the idea of the Bible using different names for the same individuals. He posits that the three wives mentioned in Genesis 26 and the three in Genesis 36 are entirely different people, concluding that Esau had six wives in total. In Midrash and Aggadah we found more context and background of the lives of Esau's wives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouna%2C%20South%20Africa
Gouna, South Africa
Gouna is a village in the Western Cape in South Africa. The village lies about 6 km north of Knysna, 11 km east of Rheenendal and about 12 km northwest of Bracken Hill. Located in the Knysna forests, the village lies on a hill that forms part of the Outeniqua Mountains. Near the village, lies the Gouna Pass, which is formed by Kom se Pad through the Outeniqua Mountains. In the 2011 South African census the village and sïurrounding area had a population of 629 people living in 229 households. History The village lies about 11 km south of the historic gold rush town of Millwood. The Silk Spinners of Gouna The Cape Colonial government funded thirty two silk spinners to move to the Colony during the late 19th Century with the purpose of creating a silk industry in the Knysna Forests. The immigrants wanted to leave behind violence and instability in their city of origin, Treviso, northern Italy, in search of a new start in a country that offered them new homes, mulberry trees for their silkworms, and sheds to spin their silk. On the 3rd of May, 1881, a group consisting of three families and a few single men reached Knysna by boat. Following a three-week journey by ox-cart from the port to the Gouna Forest, they arrived to discover just a handful of tents - and no mulberry trees - set up for them. Local residents who had urged the government to support the initiative did not understand that the native mulberry (Trimeria grandiflora) is different from the white mulberry (Morus Alba) from China, which is vital for the survival of the silkworm. The group was given government rations briefly, then they were assigned pieces of land to farm, which they failed at. A few men went to seek employment on the highways, while others started cutting wood for income.

Jean de La Rochefoucauld-Bayers
Returning to France in 1802, he had trouble with the imperial police, and was detained for nine months, despite the intervention of his relative, the Countess of La Rochefoucauld, dame d'honneur to the French Empress Joséphine. Two years later, he refused the rank of Division General and the restitution of 700,000 francs which he claimed from Emperor Napoleon I. After the Bourbon Restoration, the King promoted him to Lieutenant-General of the Armies on 13 August 1814, Director of the Dépôt de la Guerre and created a Peer of France on 17 August 1815. He was then, successively, Inspector General of Cavalry in 1816, and Commander, then Grand Cross of the Order of Saint-Louis, on 30 September 1818 and 21 August 1822, and Knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit in 1827. The Baron of La Rochefoucauld-Bayers was a member of the Commission responsible for examining the services of former emigrants and Vendée. He was called to the government of the 12th Military Division in July 1823, and chaired the General Council of the department of Aude in 1825. He resigned as a peer in 1832 and died two years later as a result of paralysis which he had suffered in 1830, upon learning the false news of the death of his son, a captain in the Royal Guard, during the July Revolution. Personal life On 13 June 1798, he married Denise-Jeanne-Catherine de Mauroy (d. 1837) in Dubno in the Russian province of Volhynia. She was the only daughter of Denis Jean, Marquis of Mauroy, Lieutenant General of the King's Armies, Governor of Tarascon. Together, they were the parents of one son: François Denis Henri Albert de La Rochefoucauld (1799–1854), Baron de Bayers, who married Ida Le Roy de La Potherie, in 1826. They built the neo-Gothic Château de Challain-la-Potherie between 1847 and 1854. The Baron died on 1 February 1834 in the 10th arrondissement of Paris and was buried at the Père-Lachaise Cemetery.

The Nursery (Gerard Dou)
Interpretation The Nursery is a triptych with an allegory on art education. That Gerard Dou chose the form of a triptych for a profane subject is considered very exceptional. The allegory is based on a statement originating from Aristotle, which mentions that three things are needed for a successful education, namely nature, education and practice. The centre panel depicted a nursery. Seated at a table, a mother breastfeeds her baby. A cradle and a basket stand in front of her on the floor. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and the mounted head of a deer hangs on the wall. A dentist is at work in the background. The nursery symbolizes nature. The left side panel showed an evening school where writing is taught by the light of candles and a lantern. The school symbolizes education. On the right side panel there was a scholar who cuts a pen in his office by the light of the candle. The pen cutter symbolizes practice. There are no copies of the outsides of the original side panels. However, they depicted representations of the so-called liberal arts: grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music.

Al-Qaeda of Saudi Arabia
Al-Qaeda in the Land of the Two Mosques (Arabic: القاعدة في بلاد الحرمين; al-qā‘ida fī bilād al-ḥaramayn; AQBH), simply called Al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia was the Saudi Arabian regional branch of Al-Qaeda. It was founded shortly after the September 11 attacks, and dissolved in 2009 after it merged with the Yemeni branch of Al-Qaeda to form Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Background After the September 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden ordered that a branch of Al-Qaeda be established in his home country of Saudi Arabia. Al-Ayiri eventually established it and was its first leader. Their first attack was meant to be a bombing in eastern Riyadh, in which the bombs were being prepared in a house in the Al-Jazira neighborhood. On March 18, 2003, a bomb prematurely exploded while it was being prepared in the house, causing the death of the explosives engineer, Fahd bin Saran Al-Saedi. After the police arrived at the house, it was found that the house contained highly explosive materials, ammunition, 12 machine guns, two rifles, three bombs, a laboratory, and fake identities. This operation was the first spark for launching the Anti-Terror operations in Saudi Arabia and declaring war on Al-Qaeda. On May 6, 2003, security forces chased a suspicious car. During the chase, security forces uncovered an empty house in the Ishbiliyah neighborhood in eastern Riyadh, in which a group of Al-Qaeda militants were hiding. In the house, 55 hand grenades were found. Various ammunition, several travel documents, identity proofs, other notebooks and pamphlets, sums of money, large iron bags filled with highly explosive paste materials, AK-47 machine guns, computers, and communications devices were also found. The house contained large amounts of disguise tools, such as wigs and masks. The explosive was RDX.

Dan Erlewine
He also began building custom electric guitars and he built guitars for blues guitarist Albert King. Erlewine saw Albert King playing an upside down Gibson Flying V named "Lucy" when he attended the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in Michigan in 1970: in 1971 he met King at a show in Ann Arbor. Erlewine offered to build King a true left-handed Flying V out of a 125-year old piece of black walnut. King agreed and came to Erlewine's shop the next day, where Erlewine measured his guitar and took notes. King asked for his name to be inlaid on the fretboard, and the name "Lucy" on the peghead. This Lucy was delivered to King in May 1972. Since then Erlewine has made a number of copies, all from the same slab of walnut; Erlewine said in 2009 that he had enough wood to make 20 or so Lucys. The guitar he built for Albert King was named Lucy and it is in the style of a Gibson Flying V. Blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa played Albert King's guitar Lucy and liked it so much that he had Dan Erlewine build him a copy. Bonamassa's name is inlaid on the fingerboard. He built for American guitarist Jerry Garcia of the rock band the Grateful Dead. The guitar was named the "Stratishcaster". The guitar is a Fender Stratocaster which has been customized with a Gibson style stop tailpiece, and a rosewood pickguard. The guitar also has numbers which are inlaid as fret markers in the fingerboard. In 1975, he opened a new shop called Dan Erlewine's Guitar Hospital. The new shop was located in Big Rapids, Michigan. Vintage Guitar Magazine has said Dan Erlewine is a "world-class repair expert" and "Among the famous names in American guitar lore". Acoustic Guitar Magazine has said he "might be the most famous guitar repairperson on earth". In 2021 he began a relationship with the Iris Guitar company to manufacture a version of an acoustic guitar which is similar to the 1937 Kalamazoo KG-11. The guitar features banjo-style guitar tuners, a long headstock and a built-in brass capo which screws into the guitar neck. Books

The Prince and the Gypsy Woman
(1) A prince is cursed by an old woman to seek the fruit princess; (2) The prince finds helpers that guide him to the princess's location; (3) The prince finds the fruits (usually three), releases the maidens inside, but only the third survives; (4) The prince leaves the princess up a tree near a spring or stream, and a slave or servant sees the princess's reflection in the water; (5) The slave or servant replaces the princess (transformation sequence); (6) The fruit princess and the prince reunite, and the false bride is punished. Motifs The maiden's appearance According to the tale description in the international index, the maiden may appear out of the titular citrus fruits, like oranges and lemons. However, she may also come out of pomegranates or other species of fruits, and even eggs. According to Walter Anderson's unpublished manuscript, variants with eggs instead of fruits appear in Southeastern Europe. In addition, Christine Shojaei-Kawan located the motif of the heroine emerging from the eggs in Slavic texts. The transformations and the false bride The tale type is characterized by the substitution of the fairy wife for a false bride. The usual occurrence is when the false bride (a witch or a slave) sticks a magical pin into the maiden's head or hair and she becomes a dove. In some tales, the fruit maiden regains her human form and must bribe the false bride for three nights with her beloved. In other variants, the maiden goes through a series of transformations after her liberation from the fruit and regains a physical body. In that regard, according to Christine Shojaei-Kawan's article, Christine Goldberg divided the tale type into two forms. In the first subtype, indexed as AaTh 408A, the fruit maiden suffers the cycle of metamorphosis (fish-tree-human) - a motif Goldberg locates "from the Middle East to Italy and France" (especifically, it appears in Greece and Eastern Europe). In the second subtype, AaTh 408B, the girl is transformed into a dove by the needle.

The Prince and the Gypsy Woman
In a Ukrainian tale collected by theologian from a source in Galicia with the title "Панна з яйця" ("The Lady from the Egg"), a tsar's son goes in search of a wife, but cannot find any maiden to his liking. One day, he falls asleep, and a voice in his dreams tells him to find a hut in the woods where there are three eggs by the window, from where he will find a bride. The prince does as the voice instructed and finds the hut with the three eggs, fetches them and cracks open the first one. A maiden comes out of it and asks for water, but, since there is no water source nearby, she dies. The prince keeps journeying and cracks open the second egg, releasing a second maiden, but she dies for not having water to drink. The prince then rushes to a great lake and cracks open the last egg, releasing another maiden to whom he gives water. The duo then sit on a tree stump and talk to each other, until he convinces her to accompany him. The egg maiden, however, tells him to hold a ball, then to come and take her. The prince goes back home and tells the tsar to hold a ball in honour of his future bride. While he is away, an old female gooseherd, who eavesdropped the couple's conversation, approaches the egg maiden, drowns her and takes her place. The prince returns with a carriage to take his bride, but notices the young maiden has become an elderly woman. Still, he takes her with his retinue and marries her. One night, the prince hears a voice in his dreams about his true wife, the egg maiden, who has turned into a goldfish by the river. The next day, the prince leaves home, finds the fish by the river margin and takes it home with him. When he leaves on a hunt, the false bride orders the cook to kill the fish and prepare a meal. When the prince returns from the hunt, the false bride serves the fish, but he refuses to eat. Some scales that remained of the fish sprout into a sycamore tree outside the palace, and the prince orders the tree to be guarded

Insurgent attacks on Warszawa Gdańska railway station
The departure from Wiersze took place at 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM. Once again, Home Army Headquarters liaisons Lieutenant Agaton and Lieutenant Stefan Bałuk, codenamed Kubuś served as guides. The soldiers arrived at Laski by trucks and continued on foot. Near the villages of Gać and Wawrzyszew (according to other sources, in Mościska), Okoń's unit encountered Hungarian posts, but after brief negotiations, the Hungarians agreed to let the Poles pass without a fight. However, that night, order in the column was once again lost. In Słodowiec, soldiers from the Sochaczew Company broke formation to quench their thirst from a fire hydrant. As a result of this unplanned halt, the company (or part of it), as well as the aviation platoon under Lieutenant Lawa, lost contact with the rest of the column. In search of a way to Żoliborz, soldiers from both units reached Powązki, where they encountered German posts. Faced with the threat of discovery by the enemy, Lieutenant Mazur and his soldiers turned back to the forest. Lawa decided to continue the search, but after wandering all night, they found themselves back at Słodowiec at dawn. The platoon found shelter in one of the houses, where the soldiers spent the whole day, barely avoiding detection by the Germans who had begun burning the settlement and displacing its residents that day. Ultimately, the aviation platoon returned to the forest only on August 21. The remaining subunits of Okoń's battalion reached Żoliborz on August 20 at 4:30 AM and settled in Warsaw Cooperative Housing blocks on Suzin Street, where forest fighters had been stationed for four days alongside Colonel Victor's forces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampsilis%20radiata
Lampsilis radiata
Lampsilis radiata, also known as the eastern lampmussel, is a species of freshwater mussel in the family Unionidae. It is native to the north Atlantic coast of North America. Taxonomy Lampsilis radiata was described in 1791 by Johann Friedrich Gmelin. Description The eastern lampmussel is a medium-to-large-sized mussel, averaging around in length and rarely exceeding . The shell is slightly ovate and elliptical. The valves, when looked at in cross-section, are moderately inflated. The bottom of the back of the shell is also commonly more rounded in mature females. Females tend to be more inflated and ovate as well. The periostracum of juveniles is usually yellow-green, while in adults it is green-brown, yellow-brown, or brown-black. Dark green lines cover the whole shell, extending outwards. The inside of the shell is usually a white, blue-white, pink, or salmon color. The hinge teeth are visible, with four on the left valve and three on the right valve. It may be confused with the eastern elliptio. Distribution and habitat The eastern lampmussel is native to the Atlantic Coastline of North America, from Nova Scotia to South Carolina. It can also be found in the Great Lakes. It inhabits streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes. It prefers to be on sand or gravel but can be found on many other substrates. In lakes, it is found in the littoral zone, exposed to waves, and below , in sandy and muddy pools. It favors cool and warm temperatures, with the freshwater pearl mussel being more common in cold waters. Behavior Eastern lampmussels are filter feeders and strain plankton and bacteria from water columns. To reproduce, the eastern lampmussel takes host to a fish for its larvae to feed on. There are many species it can use, including rock bass, pumpkinseed, bluegill, smallmouth bass, longear sunfish, largemouth bass, white perch, sand shiner, yellow perch, bluntnose minnow, and black crappie. Eggs are fertilized in mid-to-late summer, and the larvae are released in the spring.

In 1992, she was interviewed as an expert witness in a sexual assault trial, where she clarified that the Yup'ik practice of ing'ruk was not sexual act, but rather a display of affection where older Yu'pik members would sniff or kiss a child. In 2004, she criticized the Jesuit minister who oversaw missions in Alaska for his comments claiming that Alaska Native people, in particular the Yup'ik people, were "fairly loose" with sexual contact, and thus Yup'ik children molested by a Jesuit minister would be less traumatized when compared to children from other cultures. Pete characterised his interpretation of Yup'ik culture as "ridiculous" and questioned how the minister, as an anthropologist, had come to that conclusion. Pete was an advocate of subsistence rights in Alaska. She stated that she believed restrictions on subsistence rights would disproportionately affect rural Alaskan women, who she believed were not adequately represented during the creation of subsistence-related policies. Personal life and death Pete and her husband, Hubert Angaiak, adopted two children. Pete died at Providence Hospital on November 17, 2018 from issues related to ovarian cancer. In 2019, she was inducted into the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame for her work in education, including her role in creating a Yup'ik language degree, and Arctic related policies such as those concerning subsistence.

Ocean View Branch
The United Railroads opened its San Mateo interurban between San Francisco and San Mateo in 1902. It paralleled the SP for its whole length and ran directly alongside the railroad between South San Francisco and Burlingame. It competed with the railroad for passengers, especially for traffic to the Colma cemeteries for which the SP had numerous flag stops. On December8, 1907, the SP opened its Bayshore Cutoff between San Francisco and San Bruno. The new cutoff was straighter and flatter than the old route: it reduced the maximum grade from 3% to 0.3%, the maximum elevation from to , and the San Francisco–San Bruno distance from to . With the cutoff thus saving 20 minutes in running time, most service switched to the new route. The old mainline between though points became the Ocean View Branch, also called the San Bruno Branch or San Bruno line. By 1913, more that two dozen daily round trips used the cutoff, with just 3–4 round trips over the Ocean View Branch. Some service was provided by McKeen Motor Cars. The SP planned to electrify the Ocean View Branch as an extension of the Peninsular Railway to compete with the San Mateo interurban, but never did so.

In January 2024, Microsoft and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory used AI and HPC to model and screen 32 million new candidate materials to develop a more efficient rechargeable battery material. The joint project generated new material candidates, then conducted a hyper-accelerated search among them to reach a single suitable candidate that could potentially replace the lithium-ion. In July 2024, Microsoft released a Generative Chemistry tool for Azure Quantum Elements that uses generative AI to identify the right molecules to use for a particular application. Microsoft also released an Accelerated Density Functional Theory tool to simulate simulations of a molecule's electronic structure using density functional theory (DFT). Microsoft also used two logical qubits integrated with AI and cloud high-performance computing to solve a practical chemistry problem. According to Microsoft, this case study on catalytic reactions producing chiral molecules represents the first time an HPC system, AI, and quantum computing hardware have been deployed together to solve a specific scientific problem. In pharmaceuticals, Azure Quantum Elements and HPC platform was integrated with 1910 Gentetics’ computational and wet lab biological information, laboratory automation powered by robotics and multimodal AI models for drug discovery.

Death of Beatrice d'Este
Also in the summer of 1496 she went to Mals to meet Emperor Maximilian there, undertaking a journey over the Alps described by sources as strenuous and taking part in hunts, without any nefarious signs. Still in November she was in Pavia, to greet the emperor who was returning to Germany, and did not leave for Milan with her husband until December 7, 1496, arriving there on the 10th. Some historians attribute the cause of her death to malaria, which had afflicted her in 1492 during her first pregnancy, but no new relapses appear relative to 1496; others note that, a few months after her, Lucrezia Crivelli also became pregnant, and that this must have caused Beatrice's displeasure; others, finally, link the event to the tragic and untimely death of her beloved stepdaughter Bianca Giovanna Sforza, which occurred only a month before that of her stepmother. She was the illegitimate daughter of Ludovico and a close friend of hers from the first day of her arrival in Milan: Beatrice showed her great affection and always wanted her by her side. Although she was already in an advanced state of pregnancy, the news of her death was not kept from her; on the contrary, she had been informed in advance and it was left to her to decide the painful task of how to tell Ludovico without upsetting him. To her sister she later confessed that "we have felt such grief and sorrow over her death." The only sign that suggests any concern for the pregnancy was a vow made by Beatrice to visit the Shrine of the Madonna of Loreto after childbirth. This vow was later dissolved by Ludovico with the donation to that shrine of 100 gold ducats.

Death of Beatrice d'Este
He commissioned Cristoforo Solari to create a sumptuous funeral monument with their two reclining figures in marble, declaring that "one day, God willing, he would rest at his wife's side until the end of the world". A symbol of perpetual marital union, the tomb is one of the few examples in Italy of a double tomb specifically designed for spouses. This is another iconographic innovation of great significance, indicating the Moro's precise desire to place himself and his wife as the legitimate holders of power and re-founders of the dynasty, on a par with the great European monarchies. The fact, then, that he had himself depicted dead while still alive, which was highly unusual for those times, expresses the fact that his wife's death had by then deprived him of all reason to live. To her memory he dedicated the Pusterla Beatrice, which he embellished in the Renaissance style. For a whole year he vowed to eat standing up, on a tray held by a servant, and imposed fasting at court every Tuesday, the day of his wife's death. In the castle, he had a room decorated entirely in black, later known as the Saletta Negra, a kind of sanctuary where he retreated to mourn his wife in solitude, and wherever he went, he wanted his quarters to be decorated in black. Every day he visited her tomb at least twice, never failing to do so, so that ambassadors who wished to speak with him found him more often in Santa Maria delle Grazie than in the castle. There he would sometimes assemble the council, just as he had once ordered it to meet in Beatrice's chambers.

Death of Beatrice d'Este
The literary productions in memory of the deceased were numerous: Her secretary, Vincenzo Calmeta, composed for her the Triumphi, a poem in terza rima inspired by Petrarch and Dante, in which the poet mourns the Duchess's premature death and prays to Death to allow him to follow her, railing against the cruelty of fate and the misery of the human condition, until Beatrice herself descends from heaven to console him, to disabuse him of his "past error" and to show him that in truth everything happens according to divine justice. The poet, moved and overwhelmed, then addresses her with this invocation: In the collection of poems dedicated to her by Gaspare Visconti, a sonnet introduced by the heading "for the death of the Duchess and for the danger in which this country is placed" already shows an awareness of the impending ruin of the state caused by Moro's despair at the loss of his wife: "and my country makes me very afraid | for every building | falls when the foundation is lacking". Antonio Grifo wrote as many as eleven sonnets on her death, Serafino Aquilano four, as did other poets, including Niccolò da Correggio, Timoteo Bendedei, and Cornelio Balbo. Michele Marullo composed an Epitaphium Beatricis Estensis. Antonio Cammelli, known as Pistoia, sent Moro twenty-six sonnets and a long composition in terza rima known as "La Disperata" to console him for the death of "your dear wife, beloved by you on earth, Beatrice, who is now in heaven among the chaste martyrs". In the Disperata, the poet expresses his lament in the voice of Ludovico himself: Ignazio Cantù's novel Beatrice or the Court of Lodovico il Moro focuses on her death, albeit with considerable historical inconsistencies. Art Moro's deep grief over the departure of his wife was depicted in paintings by two painters of the Romantic movement, Giovan Battista Gigola and Alessandro Reati.

Arthur Stanley Wohlmann
Born on March 3, 1867, in Hertford, where he attended secondary school, Wohlmann began his medical studies in 1885 at Guy's Hospital in London, graduating in 1892. After practicing in the city, he spent four months as a surgeon at the British hospital in Port Saïd, then spent two years as a resident physician at the Royal Mineral Water Hospital in Bath, where he treated rheumatoid arthritis, before setting up his practice in the city renowned for its spa treatments. Over six years, he developed a balneotherapy practice, in which he was recognized for his considerable experience, particularly in the use of electricity. In 1896, Wohlmann co-authored a noteworthy article on rheumatoid arthritis which defended the hypothesis, since abandoned, of a bacterial origin for this disease, and in 1899 published an article on rheumatic diseases. In 1899, he married Eugenia Madden, widow of a colonel in the Indian Army, with whom he had a daughter aged three when he arrived in New Zealand. In choosing him from 43 applicants, the New Zealand government hoped to capitalize on his experience and reputation with Bath's wealthy spa clientele. His credentials were published in the first report of the Tourism Development Agency set up in 1901. However, before setting sail for New Zealand, he was asked to spend two weeks touring Europe's leading spas to assess their strengths and weaknesses. In his report on the subject, he analyzes the factors contributing to their success, such as their plans, the materials used, and their resistance to degradation, as well as the different types of equipment and treatments.

In the first months of operation, the Rotorua spa began to show signs of deterioration. The high level of sulfur in the water led to rapid corrosion of the piping, while sulfur vapors blackened the paint on the walls, attacked the ventilation and loosened the tile joints. In addition, a dozen minor earthquakes occurred shortly after the opening of the new building. Wohlmann had to write several letters to the Department of Tourism, pointing out that the plasterwork on the walls and ceilings was cracking, with chunks of plaster liable to fall off and injure guests. These problems, attributable as much to the nature of the water as to errors in the building's design, led the government to consider closing the building at the end of the 1920s. At the same time as managing the spa, Wohlmann continued his work as a physician. In his 1914 book on mineral waters, he summarized the results obtained on 593 patients he had personally treated over the previous three years at the new Rotorua establishment estimating that 536 of them had improved, particularly in cases of rheumatism and arthritis, but also neurasthenia. According to Ralph Johnson, this retrospective synthesis "regrettably" lacks a critical section, particularly on the "supreme importance" attributed to radioactivity in balneology. The end of his career Shortly after the outbreak of the First World War, Wohlmann was prompted by growing anti-German sentiment to stop using his surname. He adopted his mother's maiden name, Herbert, and announced it in the press.

Galeria Muy
From the onset, it was framed not just as a space to showcase artists, but to be used as a headquarters and community center for these important debates and practices, as well as to provide employment to the different young artists and cultural workers who make up the team that runs the space. As stated by the artists themselves, the project has achieved its goal of supporting the needs of local indigenous artists and has therefore established itself as a cultural institution over the course of its first decade. Critical reception Espacio MUY has been featured in prominent national newspapers like El Universal (Mexico City), La Jornada, and its artists’ projects and exhibits have likewise been covered in different media outlets such as newspapers and art magazines. Art critic Ingrid Suckaer devotes a section to the Muy gallery in her book Arte indígena contemporáneo: dignidad de la memoria y apertura de cánones (Indigenous contemporary art: the dignity of memory and opening up of canons), published by Samsara Editorial in 2017. Coinciding with the increasing interest in Indigenous art practices since the beginning of the century, the Muy has also engaged with major contemporary art museums such as Seminario 12, Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo,Palacio de Bellas Artes, and Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City, as well as with curators such as Itzel Vargas Plata, to highlight the contemporary art production among the Maya and Zoque of Chiapas. The Muy and Muy artists have been invited to participate in prestigious international art fairs such as Material Art Fair, where it received the Hennesey Prize for Best Project the first year it participated, and Outsider Art Fair in Paris.
