The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS), branded as Humane Canada, is a non-profit animal welfare organization in Canada, representing humane societies, SPCAs, and animal rescue organizations. The organization's stated goal is to promote the welfare and humane treatment of animals and work to end animal cruelty.
History
Based in Ottawa, Humane Canada was founded in 1957 as the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies. Some of its founders were Richard Taylor, president of the Ottawa Humane Society; Alne Cameron, former Veterinary Director General for Canada and president of the Ottawa Humane Society; Senator Frederic McGrand; and former lawyer Gord Gunn, who had witnessed the suffering of horses in World War I.
Currently, the organization is led by Chief Executive Officer Barbara Cartwright, who joined Humane Canada in July 2011. Recent prior CEOs include: Steve Carrol (2006-2011) and Robert Van Tongerloo (2000-2005).
In 2018 the organization rebranded its name to Humane Canada, though its legal name remains the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies.
Programs
Humane Canada's program work focuses on companion animals, livestock and legislation. The organization works to improve legislation to improve the prosecution of some animal abusers. The Federation works with the Canadian livestock sector to improve standards of care for animals on farm, as well as in transit and at slaughter. As a founding member of the National Companion Animal Coalition, Humane Canada has been involved in setting the standard for microchip identification for pets, and has worked on such issues as dog bite prevention, puppy mills and municipal bylaws for dogs and cats. Humane Canada is also a member of the Animal Welfare Committee of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.
National Animal Welfare Conference
The organization holds national animal welfare conferences. The 2014 conference included presentations by Jane Goodall, veterinarian Michelle Lem on a Community Veterinary Outreach Program in Ontario, and a discussion of trap-neuter-return to humanely reduce community cat populations. Animal testing was also discussed.
The 2015 conference took place in May in Richmond, British Columbia.
Funding
Humane Canada does not receive any government funding. It relies on donations from the public, corporate sponsorship and some membership fees to fund its programs.
Governance
Humane Canada is governed by a volunteer-based Board of Directors. Board members may be employed by member societies. The members of the Board meet four times each year (two face-to-face, two conference calls), while both the Executive and Finance Committees meet monthly. The CFHS website maintains a current list of directors.
Membership
In 2013, the organization's members included 45 animal welfare organizations, humane societies and SPCAs operating across Canada.
Publications
Animal Welfare in Focus is the organization's newsletter. Past issues are available online. A monthly e-newsletter is also available for subscription.
In February 2014, in conjunction with World Spay Day, the CFHS published The Case for Accessible Spay/Neuter in Canada, which "illuminates the lack of accessible spay/neuter in communities across the country and what can be done about it."
Cats in Canada: A comprehensive Report on the Cat Overpopulation crisis was published in 2012.
Position statements have been published on numerous issues, such as animals in entertainment, euthanasia of companion animals, and surgical mutilation.

Saint Emmeram of Regensburg (also Emeram(m)us, Emmeran, Emmerano, Emeran, Heimrammi, Haimeran, or Heimeran) was a Christian bishop and a martyr born in Poitiers, Aquitaine. Having heard of idolatry in Bavaria, Emmeram travelled to Ratisbon (Regensburg) some time after the year 649 to the court of Theodo I, Duke of Bavaria. He supposedly travelled up the Loire, crossed through the Black Forest and then followed the Danube to Regensburg. Theodo welcomed Emmeram to his court, where he laboured for three years carrying out missionary work. During this time, he gained a reputation as a pious man. He died circa 652 and is buried in St. Emmeram's in Regensburg, Germany. His feast day in the Catholic Calendar of saints is September 22.
Life
Arbeo of Freising wrote a biography of Emmeram in 750, the Vita Sancti Emmerami, about 100 years after the saint's death. The literature tells the story of Emmeram, born to a noble family in Aquitaine. According to Alban Butler and others, he became Bishop of Poitiers, although this cannot be verified. There is speculation that he held the office briefly between the death of Dido and the accession of Ansoaldus.
Having heard of idolatry in Bavaria, he decided to travel to Ratisbon (Regensburg) some time after the year 649 to the court of Agilofing, Theodo I, Duke of Bavaria. He supposedly travelled up the Loire, crossed through the Black Forest and then followed the Danube to Regensburg. Theodo welcomed Emmeram to his court, where he laboured for three years carrying out missionary work. During this time, he gained a reputation as a pious man. He founded the monastery that later bore his name.
He then went on a pilgrimage to Rome, but after a five days' journey, at a place now called Kleinhelfendorf, south of Munich, he was set upon by the Duke's son Lantpert of Bavaria, who tortured him cruelly. He died shortly afterwards at Aschheim, about fifteen miles distant. The cause of this attack and the circumstances attending his death are not known.
Legend
As the story goes, Uta (or Ota), the daughter of the duke, confided to Emmeram that she was expecting a child out of wedlock. According to Arbeo, the father was one Sigipaldus from her father's own court. Moved with compassion, Emmeram advised her to name himself, whom everyone respected, as the father hoping to mitigate some of her shame. Shortly thereafter, the legend goes, Emmeram abruptly went on a pilgrimage to Rome. At this point, Uta named Emmeram as the father.
When Duke Theodo and his son Lantpert learned of Uta's pregnancy, Lantpert went after the bishop. Lantpert caught up with Emmeram in Helfendorf (now part of the Munich suburb of Aying) on the old Roman road between Salzburg and Augsburg on the Via Julia Augusta and greeted him as "bishop and brother-in-law". According to popular tradition, wanting to protect the real culprit, Emmeram did not defend himself, and received numerous wounds. Lantpert and his followers tied Emmeram to a ladder and proceeded to torture him; he was then beheaded.
His companions, Vitalis and Wolflete, found him still alive, lying in his own blood, and tried to bring him quickly back to Aschheim, where a walled church of Apostle Peter stood.
The improbability of the tale, the details of the saint's martyrdom, which are certainly untrue, and the fantastic account of the prodigies attending his death show that the writer, infected by the pious mania of his time, simply added to the facts imaginary details supposed to redound to the glory of the martyr.
Veneration
A text printed in Munich in 1743, Officium oder Tageszeiten des wunderthätigen Bayerischen Apostels und Blutzeugen Christi St. Emmerami, zu täglichen und andächtigen Gebrauch in allen Anliegen und Widerwärtigkeiten etc., states that the cart was accompanied by
Arbeo of Freising depicted the place of his death as a "lovely, ever spring-green place, upon which a spring appeared and the local people later built a little church."
When the misunderstanding of Emmeram's relationship to Uta was revealed, he was entombed in Aschheim, whereupon legend states that it rained for forty days. Emmeram was exhumed and put upon a raft in the Isar. When the raft reached the Danube, it miraculously floated upstream to Regensburg, where Emmeram was interred in the church of St. George.(A somewhat similar tale is told of Lubentius of Dietkirchen.)
His remains were later moved to a church dedicated to the martyr. This church burned down in 1642. Emmeram's bones were found under the altar in 1645 and moved to St. Emmeram's Abbey. The church, now a basilica minor, houses his leg bones in a silver reliquary in the eastern portion under the altar.
At the spot Saint Emmeram died in the year 652, a small chapel was erected in the year 1842. The church of St. Lorenz in Oberföhring has a side altar dedicated to St. Emmeram. In the church of Saints Peter and Paul in Aschheim, a plaque memorializes the first grave of Emmeram with an inscription.
The day of his martyrdom is also his feast day, 22 September.

He scored his first professional goal in a 5–0 win at Wigan Athletic on 15 December 2020. In February 2021, Baah was named EFL Young Player of the Month for January.
Watford
On 1 February 2021, Baah was close to signing a pre-contract agreement with Manchester City, however the deal collapsed. Having undergone a medical with Watford at the end of April and a fee of £125,000 agreed, he officially joined the club on 17 May ahead of their return to the Premier League.
Fortuna Düsseldorf (loan)
On 29 July 2022, Baah joined 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf on loan for the 2022–23 season.

Cachalot (1980) is a science fiction novel by American writer Alan Dean Foster.
Plot summary
Cachalot is an ocean planet where humans have begun building floating cities. It is also the same planet where all of Earth's cetaceans were transplanted six hundred years ago after the Covenant of Peace was enacted with all intelligence-enhanced ocean dwellers. Four of these cities have been destroyed when a middle-aged scientist and her late-teen daughter are dispatched to the planet to discover the source of the attacks.
The novel title comes from the French word cachalot, meaning sperm whale. This word was applied to the sperm whale when the mammals were actively hunted in Earth's oceans.
The novel features a new musical instrument called "neurophon" producing not only tunes but also nerve sensations on human skin and irritating alien creatures found on the planet.

"Monotonous" is a popular song written by June Carroll and Arthur Siegel for Leonard Sillman's Broadway revue New Faces of 1952. The song was written based on the experiences of its singer Eartha Kitt. It was performed, at the insistence of Kitt, on three chaise longues (Kitt tried originally for six and was given three in compromise), crawling cat-like from one to the other, demonstrating her flexibility and her dance training from the Katherine Dunham Company. The song also includes references to many well-known figures of the early 1950s. People referenced in the song include:
Montgomery Clift
Jacques Fath (the song states that he made a new style for Eartha Kitt, based on when she opened the club Le Perroquet, and Fath provided her with a completely new wardrobe as he admired her body).
Johnnie Ray ("I even made Johnnie Ray smile for me")

Ghiyas ud din Balban (1216–1286, reigned: 1266–1286) (; Hindi: ग़ियास उद-दीन बलबन; IAST: Ghiyās ud-Dīn Balban) was the ninth sultan of the Mamluk dynasty of Delhi.
Ghiyas ud Din was the regent of the last Shamsi sultan, Nasiruddin Mahmud. He got rid of his predecessor Imaduddin Raihan and also got rid of this rivals in the court.
His original name was Baha Ud Din. He was an Ilbari Turk. When he was young he was captured by the Mongols, taken to Ghazni and sold to Khawaja Jamal ud-din of Basra, a Sufi. The latter then brought him to Delhi in 1232 along with other slaves, and all of them were purchased by Iltutmish.
Balban belonged to the famous group of 40 Turkic slaves of Iltutmish.
Ghiyas made several conquests, some of them as vizier. He routed the people of Mewat that harassed Delhi and reconquered Bengal, all while successfully facing the Mongol threat, during which his son died. After his death in 1287, his grandson Qaiqabad was nominated sultan, though his rule undermined the success made under his grandfather's reign.
In spite of having only a few military achievements, Balban reformed civil and military lines that earned him a stable and prosperous government granting him the position, along with Shams ud-din Iltutmish and the later Alauddin Khalji, one of the most powerful rulers of Delhi Sultanate.
Early life
He was the son of a Central Asian Turkic noble. As a child, he was captured by the Mongols and sold as a slave to Khwaja Jamal ud-din Basri.Khwaja brought him to Delhi where he and the other slaves were bought by Sultan Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, himself a captured Ilbari Turk in origin in 1232.
Balban was first appointed as a simple water carrier, but quickly rose to the position of Khasdar (king's personal attendant) by the Sultan. He became one of the most notable of the forty Turkic nobles of Delhi, or the Chalissa. During the reign of Razia Sultan, he was the amir-i-shikar or lord of the hunt, a position of some importance at the time, having military and political responsibilities. After her overthrow, he made rapid strides in the subsequent reigns, earning the fief of Rewari under Bahram Shah, and later became the Jagir(lord) of Hansi, which was an important fief.
Balban was instrumental in the overthrow of Ala ud din Masud, installing Nasiruddin Mahmud as Sultan and himself as his Vizier from 1246 to 1265. Mahmud married one of Balban's daughters. Balban also installed Kishlu Khan, his younger brother, as lord chamberlain (Amir-i Hajib) and appointed his cousin, Sher Khan, to the Jagir of Lahore and Bhatinda.
Balban's position did not go unnoticed by the other nobles and there was some resentment. His main antagonist was Imad ud-din Raihan, who in works written after Balban's time, is characterized as a Hindu Murtad (who revoked Islam), although some claim him to be of Turkic origin as well. Imad ud-din managed to persuade the Sultan that Balban was an usurper. Balban and his kin were dismissed and even challenged in combat. However, negotiations between Balban and the Sultan had brought to the dismission of Imad ud din at 1254, and Balban was reinstalled.
Military campaigns
Balban's reign, according to Ziauddin Barani, was to install 'Fear of the governing power, which is the basis of all good government.' Furthermore, he "maintained that the Sultan was the 'shadow of God' and introduced rigorous court discipline." He depended upon Turkish nobility but formed an army of 2 lakh made up of all castes. A portion of this army was made up of commandos. Balban had several military achievements during his vizierhood, first raising the Mongol siege of Uch under Masud Shah in 1246.
When the governor of Bengal, Tughral Tughan Khan, revoked the authority of Delhi in 1275, Balban first sent the governor of Awadh and then a second army, both of which met with failure. Balban then accompanied a third army which reconquered the countryside, killing Tughral and his followers. His son, Nasiruddin Bughra Khan, assisted him in this mission. Balban then placed his second son, Bughra Khan, as governor. However, Bughra declared independence after Balban's death, which he maintained for 40 years.
One of the famous military campaigns of Balban was against Meo, or Mayo, the people of Mewat who used to plunder the people of Delhi even in the daylight. The distress caused by the Meo is well described in Barani's words: He has killed many Mayos in his military campaign.
The turbulence of the Mewatis had increased, and their strength had grown in the neighbourhood of Dehli, through the dissolute habits and negligence of the elder sons of Shams ud-dín, and the incapacity of the youngest, Násiru-d dín. At night they used to come prowling into the city, giving all kinds of trouble, depriving the people of their rest; and they plundered the country houses in the neighbourhood of the city. In the neighbourhood of Dehli there were large and dense jungles, through which many roads passed. The disaffected in the Doáb, and the outlaws towards Hindustan grew bold and took to robbery on the highway, and they so beset the roads that caravans and merchants were unable to pass. The daring of the Mewatis in the neighbourhood of Dehli was carried to such an extent that the western gates of the city were shut at afternoon prayer, and no one dared to go out of the city in that direction after that hour, whether he travelled as a pilgrim or with the display of a sovereign. At afternoon prayer the Mewatis would often come to the Sar-hauz, and assaulting the water-carriers and the girls who were fetching water, they would strip them and carry off their clothes. These daring acts of the Mewatis had caused a great ferment in Delhi.
Balban took upon himself the exterminating the turbulent tribes of Mewat and Awadh, destroying strongholds and villages. He then built military outposts, gave land to soldiers and Afghans to settle. He garrisoned forts at key locations, cleared forests and ensured safe roads. He also unsuccessfully laid siege to the fortress of Ranthambore, but did recapture Gwalior from the Rajputs.
In 1247, Balban suppressed a rising of the Chandela Chief of Kalinjar.
Balban's military reign also distinguished with his success repelling Mongol army. This could be achieved because his cavalry horses were better suited to Indian climate and naturally bred larger than Mongol's horses. The extreme heat of summer constituted the Mongols' problem in India, as the quotation from Juvaini indicates. Their incursions seem to have been brief, even when not defeated by the forces of Delhi, and to have taken place in winter, because only then was it cool enough for the comfort of the Mongols' horses
Reign as Sultan
Since Sultan Nasiruddin did not have a male heir, so after his death, Balban declared himself the Sultan of Delhi. Balban ascended the throne in 1266 at the age of fifty with the title of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din-Balban.
During his reign, Balban ruled with an iron fist. He broke up the 'Chahalgani', a group of the forty most important nobles in the court. Balban wanted to make sure everyone was loyal to the crown by establishing an efficient espionage system, in the style of the Umayyad Barid. Sultan Balban had a strong and well-organized intelligence system. Balban employed spies, barids, to inform on his officials. He placed secret reporters and news-writers in every department. The spies were independent authority who were only answerable to Sultan.
Furthermore, Balban had his nobles punished most harshly for any mishap, including severe treatment of their own slaves. One of his nobles, Malik Baqbaq, the governor of Budaun, was punished for ordering one of his slaves to be beaten to death, apparently when being drunk. Another governor, Haibat Khan, was handed over to the slave's widow for punishment. About his justice Dr. Ishwari Prasad remarked "So great was the dread of Sultan's inexorable justice that no one dared to ill-treat his servant and slaves."
Balban re-organised the military against the threat of the Mongols. He re-organised the revenues of the Iqatadars, which have been passed on to the children of their original holders from the time of Shams ud-din, or maintained their hold of the Iqta even after they ceased to serve in the military. The old Muqta's, who could not serve as military commanders (emirs) for their revenue, were to be dismissed from their fief and settled with a pension of forty to fifty tankas. The younger Muqtas had been taxed for the surplus revenue (which was not taken from them as it should have) and the children and women who took possession of the Iqta of their forebears, were to be deprived of their Iqtas and compensated with the money required to sustain them. However, he was partially dissuaded from this ruling due to the advice of the old Kotwal, Fakhr ud-din, and the old nobles retained their lands.
Balban's steps against the nobility were so extreme as to raise suspicion from his brother, Sher Khan, who is said to have never visited Delhi. It appears that resentment between the brothers had to come to a degree that made the Sultan poison his brother.
"Balban's court was an austere assembly where zest and laughter were unknown and where wine and gambling were banished." He "introduced rigorous court discipline such as prostration before the king and kissing his feet." Nevertheless, Ghiyasuddin Balban still went on hunting expeditions, though these were more frequently used as a form of military training. There were large scale conversions to Islam in Punjab under his reign. Balban was the first who introduced the famous Persian Festival of Nauroz.
He started Iranian method Sijda and Paibos to the sultan in India. He also introduced the Persian festival Nowruz (meaning New year). He himself called the Niyabat-i-Khudai.
Death
Ghiyas ud din Balban ruled as the Sultan from 1265 until his death in 1287. Balban's heir was his older son, Prince Muhammad Khan, but he perished in a battle against the Mongols on 9 March 1285. His other son, Bughra Khan, was reluctant to assume the throne, and sought to remain the ruler of Bengal instead. Balban, therefore, chose his grandson, Kaikhasrau, son of Prince Muhammad, as heir apparent. However, after his death his nobles nominated Qaiqubad as Sultan.
Qaiqubad reign (1287–1290), while his father, Bughra Khan, asserted independence in Bengal. Qaiqubad was very weak and incompetent and eventually fell to stroke and had to pass the rule to his three years old son, Shamsuddin Kayumars, who was eventually dethroned by his guardian, Jalal ud din Firuz Khalji in 1290, bringing an end to the Slave dynasty.
Today, Tomb of Balban lies within the Mehrauli Archaeological Park in Delhi, adjacent to which stands that of his son Khan Shahid and a walled mosque. The domes of both the tombs have collapsed and the structures were mostly ruined until restored in recent years when the conservation work began in the park.

Tara Leann Stiles is an American model turned yoga instructor, and founder of Strala Yoga in New York City (NYC). Stiles grew Strala from a studio based in SoHo, New York City to a studio and training business with currently over 1,000 instructors (called Guides) leading classes in 15 countries to thousands of people weekly. Harvard did a case study on Stiles' business titled The Branding of Yoga, which uses Stiles as a case study in branding.
In 2007, Tara starred in Yoga For, produced by Ford Models. Vanity Fair reported on a yoga video that Stiles specifically designed for Sarah Palin; the "Vanity Fair" reporter commented, "Tara Stiles has got to be the coolest yoga instructor ever."
Early life
Stiles grew up outside of the Chicago Metropolitan area, in Morris, Illinois. Her parents designed their passive solar home, helped by the fact her father worked at a nuclear plant. She has one sibling, an older brother, Chad, who is an electrician.
Career
Stiles studied dancing in Chicago, where one of her ballet instructors introduced her to yoga. A local photographer brought her to Marie Anderson Boyd, founder of Aria Models in Chicago, later acquired by Ford Models. Stiles has been featured in pictorials for W, Shape Magazine, Self, Marie Claire, Fitness, and has appeared on the covers of Shape, Time Out, and Fit Yoga. Stiles appeared in ads for Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Target Corporation, Gap, and American Apparel. Stiles has been a spokesperson for Nissan Motors.
Strala Yoga
In 2008, Stiles met her husband Michael Taylor at the Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York.
The couple founded the NYC yoga studio Strala later that year. They made up the name, which is similar to the Swedish word "stråla" which means to "radiate light". Deepak Chopra and Jane Fonda are among her students; the former considers her his personal instructor. "I have been doing yoga for 30 years," he says. "I have had teachers of all kinds. Taking lessons from her has been more useful to me than taking yoga from anyone else."
Stiles does not follow any school of yoga or instructor and focuses purely on its physical aspects and health benefits, with no philosophical or spiritual dimension. She eschews the Sanskrit names for yoga positions and does not ask students to chant. She hires instructors without regard to the certification process normally required elsewhere, preferring to assess them by watching them teach, although Strala does offer a teacher-training program. Strala's per-class fee, $10, is lower than other Manhattan yoga studios.
Her goal is to make yoga more accessible. "People need yoga, not another religious leader. Quite often in New York, they want to be religious leaders, and it's not useful," she explains. "I was never invited to the party anyway—so I started my own party." Too many people outside yoga, she believes, see it as "something Jennifer Aniston does." Fonda has praised "her ability to make yoga accessible to people who might be scared of it or think it might be too esoteric." Stiles says she receives letters regularly from people, such as military men, who do her videos but are afraid to go to a yoga studio. "This studio is the first place I have felt comfortable," one Strala student told The New York Times. "It doesn't feel like it's all 26-year-old former dancers."
Stiles' approach to yoga has met with some controversy in the yoga community. Jennilyn Carson of the popular YogaDork blog reports that some practitioners consider it "disrespect to what the practice is" for Stiles to promote it as a weight-loss method. "I don't care what Tara Stiles says yoga is," another yogini says. "It's not about making your body beautiful." Yoga traditionalists have also complained about her willingness to draw on her modeling background and exploit sex appeal in yoga-wear advertisements and her videos, some of which she has appeared in wearing short shorts and a tank top. "Who made these rules?", Stiles has responded. "I feel like I'm standing up for yoga." To critics of her videos and photo shoots, she says, "We should not be hiding behind our bodies. [They] should be empowering." To critics of her method of yoga instruction she said, "When they come to class, they see that we're guiding every single moment of movement. It's not chaos."
Collaborations
Stiles partnered with Reebok to design and launch Reebok Yoga in 2012. The first collection launched with Spring / Summer 2013. The range is available in select Nordstroms, Harrod's, Royal Sports, Rebel Sports, boutiques and studios, as well as Reebok retail stores, Reebok FitHubs, and on Reebok's e-commerce site. Stiles is closely involved with the design team and travels the world to support the range in each market. Reebok sends its "brand ambassadors" through Stiles' Intensive Programs, to help with brand awareness and support.
Stiles is an avid knitter and collaborated with Wool and the Gang on a yoga-street wear line, featuring ready-to-wear, as well as knit kits, designed by Wool and the Gang and Tara Stiles, featuring the "Tara Stiles" label on the garments.
Stiles has collaborated on DVD projects with Jane Fonda, Deepak Chopra, Brooklyn Decker, Tia Mowry and created the best-selling DVD series This is Yoga, translated into three languages and available in every country.
Books
In 2013, Tara moved publishing houses to Hay House. She appears on the Hay House speakers circuit, and is one of their most popular authors, part of the next generation of leaders in the field of wellbeing. Make Your Own Rules Diet was released November 10, 2014 by Hay House. Make Your Own Rules Cookbook was released Nov 2015. All of Stiles' books are translated into several languages.
Television
Stiles was a contestant and winner of MTV's Fear episode 9, "Fort Gains." She also has appeared in Matthew Barney's The Cremaster Cycle: Cremester 3. She co-hosted three segments on fitness and fashion with Pedro Andrade, Siafa Lewis, and Margherita Missoni.

He won the gold medal at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Lille, France, and eventually represented his nation Bahamas at the 2016 Summer Olympics, scratching all three of his jumps in the preliminary round. In his college career, Collie-Minns established history as the fifth Bahamian to capture the NCAA men's triple jump title for the Texas A&M Aggies.
Collie-Minns competed for the Bahamas in the men's triple jump at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Leading up to his maiden Games, he popped a personal best of 17.18 m to successfully eclipse the IAAF Olympic entry standard (16.85) at the 2015 Southeastern Conference Track & Field Championships in Starkville, Mississippi, United States. Collie-Minns could not get down a legal mark in each of the three available attempts during the qualifying phase of the competition, failing to advance further to the final round.
Collie-Minns has a twin brother named Lathone, who finished behind him for the silver medal in the triple jump at the 2011 World Youth Championships.

Jomfru Ane Gade (English: Virgin Anne's Street), in Aalborg, is a well known street in the northern part of Jutland in Denmark. It has gained popularity for the restaurants and pubs lining both sides of the street. It represents one of the longest continuous stretches of restaurants and bars in Denmark, only surpassed by a few areas in Aarhus and Copenhagen. On warm summer evenings, the terraces and restaurants fill up and then, as night falls, crowds of young people walk the street until they finally end up in one of the many discothèques.
History
The street dates back at least until the end of the 16th century, apparently named after Ane Viffert who in 1568 lived in nearby Skavegade. She is said to have been a nun at Ø Kloster on Limfjorden. For the next 200 years, the street housed the homes of several merchants. Some of their half-timbered houses can still be seen.
The first restaurant, the Gaslight, was opened in May 1967. As a result of its success, the Fyrtøjet opened the following year. By the end of the 1970s, there were another 10 pubs and restaurants, and by 1992, there were 26.

Sympathy for Life is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Parquet Courts. The album was released on October 22, 2021, on Rough Trade Records. Produced by Rodaidh McDonald and John Parish, the album was preceded by the singles, "Plant Life", "Walking at a Downtown Pace", "Black Widow Spider" and "Homo Sapien".
The vast majority of the album was written and recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, with the band working on long, improvised compositions before arranging them into songs influenced by clubbing and nightlife.
Background
With the release of their sixth studio album, Wide Awake!, in May 2018, the band embarked on an extensive tour which lasted until November 2019. During this time, co-lead vocalists and guitarists Austin Brown and Andrew Savage became more interested in dance and techno music, becoming tired of the expectations of rock bands. Austin Brown noted: "I didn’t really feel like making another rock record. This whole scene of these massive indie rock festivals, seeing the way musicians are treated like faux celebrities, and the way minor indie musicians get worshiped in this unidirectional way — there’s the group on stage, everyone’s looking at them, and thinking they’re the most important people just because they happen to be the loudest. I got really into dance music and realized in those environments, the music is the thing that connects everybody."
Brown started attending nights out at the famed dance party venue The Loft in New York City, describing his experiences as "subversive, anti-establishment, progressive, and also the most enriching American psychedelic experience that has been created. This was something I really wanted to carry into the process of creating our new record." Savage's own songwriting contributions were influenced by taking the drug acid while attending the gym: "It all started one day when I went to the gym on acid. I just felt like, 'I'm a fucking machine here, I'm killing it'. Something about the psychedelic experience gives you this mind over matter thing. I not only have my wonderful physique to be thankful for, but it also started this songwriting process for me. I guess it could be considered a performance-enhancing drug to some degree."
Recording
To record the album, the band recorded in the Catskill Mountains, in upstate New York, where they had previously worked on Sunbathing Animal (2014) and Human Performance (2016): "It’s an area of sacredness. A magic and fertile place with clean air, mountain water, and a lot of protected land." Working on long, improvised jams that could reach up to 40 minutes in length, the band recorded with several producers during the sessions, but ultimately chose only to include those they worked on with Rodaidh McDonald and John Parish.
During the recording process, the band actively sought to evolve their sound, with co-lead vocalist and guitarist Austin Brown noting: "Being a band for so long, there's lots of bands that can write a Parquet Courts song, and I’ve heard some that were not written by us. That stresses to me how important it is to evolve and move past what might be popularly considered a Parquet Courts sound." The band was influenced by the Primal Scream album, Screamadelica (1991), which fused indie rock with house music, and wanted to recreate the feeling of clubbing culture and nightlife in the studio: "We very much wanted to make a record that embodied a live music experience but more like at a club or party level with DJs, not necessarily a live band. As a live band, we wanted to capture DJ music." Co-lead vocalist and guitarist Andrew Savage, in particular, was inspired by the bands, Can, Canned Heat and This Heat.
Producer Rodaidh McDonald would record the entirety of the band's long jam sessions, which he would then hone into shorter songs. Andrew Savage recalled, "Roddy’s definitely down to burn the midnight oil. I’d go take a nap, and a few hours later I’d come back, and the same song would still be being laboured over. There was an intensity there - that kind of fourth wind you can only get out of extreme energy loss." Despite traditionally playing guitar and keyboards in the band, Austin Brown would often operate a 16-channel dub station instead during the jam sessions, rotating and implementing different effects throughout. Band member Andrew Savage would describe Brown as "the control master of the jam". Regarding working with John Parish on two of the album's tracks, Savage noted: "The reason I wanted to work with him was because he has this remarkable talent of sending a mic directly into a tape machine with no interference of components and making it sound amazing.
Recording of the album had wrapped by March 2020, with the exception of "Marathon of Anger", which was influenced by the Black Lives Matter protests of June 2020 and written and recorded during the events.
Release
With the release of the album delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the unexpected extra time allowed Andrew Savage to focus on aspects of the release that he otherwise wouldn't have: "You know, one of the saving graces of the whole [pandemic] was this record because, truth be told, I’ve worked on it every day since in some form or another. The album art, I had a ton more time to work on that, and it’s the best I’ve done. And we had time to mix it, we had time to work on these 11 different music videos and these 11 different events to promote the record. I’ve been doing merch and tour posters, this, that, and the other. So I really used this project to focus my attention on something. I’ve always got something to do, but this was a really good way to distract from the hellscape that was 2020."
Composition

Joshua Claybourn (born June 10, 1981) is an American attorney, author, and historian considered one of the foremost living scholars on Abraham Lincoln’s youth in Indiana.
Career
Legal work
Claybourn is an attorney with the law firm of Jackson Kelly representing governmental entities and officials, as well as businesses and corporations. Citing Article 1, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, Claybourn appeared before the Indiana Election Commission and successfully challenged a 23-year-old person's legal right to appear on the ballot as a candidate for Congress in Indiana's 8th congressional district. Together with Abby DeMare, he argued in the Indiana Law Review for greater checks and balances on executive branch emergency powers. Claybourn served as co-counsel in a civil suit against the State of Indiana and Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, alleging that Governor Holcomb exceeded his authority under the Constitution of Indiana when he issued certain executive orders in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Citing Governor Holcomb's rescission of the subject executive orders, the trial court dismissed the complaint as moot and the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed.
Historian and pundit
Claybourn is considered one of the foremost living scholars on President Lincoln’s youth in Indiana. He appeared as an expert in the six-part CNN documentary Lincoln: Divided We Stand. Claybourn is editor of Abraham Lincoln's Wilderness Years, a compilation of significant scholarship from J. Edward Murr covering Lincoln's youth. He is co-editor (with William Bartelt) of Abe’s Youth: Shaping the Future President, providing source material from the Indiana Lincoln Inquiry. Claybourn also served as a research assistant to Professor Gerard Magliocca during his work on Andrew Jackson and the Constitution: The Rise and Fall of Generational Regimes.
Claybourn edited Our American Story: The Search for a Shared National Narrative (Potomac Books, 2019), a collection of essays by theorists, historians, and politicians addressing the possibility of a shared narrative within a country divided by political polarization. Contributors to the project include Cass Sunstein, Gordon S. Wood, John Danforth, Richard Epstein, David Blight, Markos Moulitsas, Alan Taylor, Eleanor Clift, Jim Banks, Nikolas Gvosdev, Ilya Somin, Cherie Harder, Gerard Magliocca, Jason Kuznicki, Cody Delistraty, Spencer Boyer, Ali Wyne, and James Wertsch. Kirkus Reviews wrote that the book's "responses are all over the map, provocatively so" and called it a "mixed-bag collection".
Politics
Claybourn, named one of the 250 most influential leaders in Indiana, often serves as a political advisor. He was cited as a "key supporter" of Congressman Larry Bucshon of and was a principal adviser to Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke's campaign and was a part of Winnecke's 2012 transition team.
In 2016, Claybourn was selected as an Indiana delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention, but a day after Donald Trump's win in the Indiana primary which made Trump the party's presumptive nominee, Claybourn was one of the first to resign his position as a delegate because he "could not in good conscience attend a coronation and celebration of Donald Trump". The New York Times noted Claybourn would have been bound to vote for Trump on the first ballot.

Jakub Grajchman (25 July 1822 – 9 June 1897) was a Slovak poet, educator, dramatist, and romanticist. He was also a Slovak nationalist.
Biography
Grajchman was born Jakub Graichman on 25 July 1822 in Hybe, Austrian Empire (now Slovakia). He would begin spelling Graichman Grajchman, the Slovak equivalent of his German surname, in later life in support of Ľudovít Štúr's standardization of the Slovak language. As a child, he attended school in Kežmarok, Gemer, and Levoča and had Peter Michal Bohúň as a classmate. He then studied Evangelical theory in Bratislava, Halle, and Berlin and attended University of Prešov, where he studied law. He taught in Bratislava and Košice (1848) before moving to Liptovský Mikuláš, where he was a notary and a court assistant until 1854. He was part of the revolutions across the Austrian Empire in 1848-1849. He then worked as a court assistant in Dolný Kubín 1854-1859 before returning to Liptovský Mikuláš, where he became a courtroom advisor. In 1867, he returned to his birthplace of Hybe to live out his last 11 years. He also lived in Liptovský Hrádok for a period.
He wrote many dramas, poems, articles, and plays in German and Slovak, sometimes using the "Štúrovo spirit of a national folk song." He contributed to such journals and almanacs as Orol tatranský (Orol tatránski), Nitra (Nitra), Lipa (Lipa), Sokol, Minerva, Slovanský almanach, and Živena Grajchman was not a popular writer during his lifetime. His works include Melancholický gavalier (play), Básnické spisy Jakuba Grajchmana (collection of poems), Ako to bolo? (love drama), Kto zaplatí nohavice? (comedy), Zakliaty tulipán (ballad), and Divná dáma (poem). Though Grajchman wrote primarily for amateur theatres, Kto zaplatí nohavice? was made into a radio program and a TV performance was broadcast in 1987.
Grajchman died on 9 June 1897 in Hybe, where he is buried.

The Battle of Seal Cove was a minor naval action west of Lively Island, during the 1982 Falklands War. On the evening of 22 May 1982, while supporting Operation Sutton off San Carlos Bay, the British frigates and received orders to stop and seize the Argentine Navy armed coastal supply boat ARA Monsunen. Under heavy shelling, the coaster managed to avoid capture by grounding on a nearby inlet.
Background
The ARA Monsunen was a 326 ton British coaster vessel owned by the Falklands Islands Company that had been captured in the course of the Argentine invasion. The ship was spotted by a RAF GR.3 Harrier while sailing from Fox Bay towards Stanley with a cargo of 150 drums of fuel and 250 sacks of flour. Her commander, Captain Jorge Gopcevich-Canevari claims that his ship had evaded the vigilance of a British frigate in the same area while carrying out a similar mission on 14 May.
The engagement
At 4:00 am GMT on 23 May, a Lynx helicopter from HMS Brilliant identified Monsunen while the latter was heading to the north, west of Lively Island. After a surrender order was radioed to the motorboat, another Lynx transporting a Special Boat Service (SBS) team tried to intercept her. The aircraft was engaged by heavy machine gun and small arms fire, so it was forced to abort the mission. At the same time, the coastal ship's radar detected the British squadron about to stern and approaching aggressively. Corvette Lieutenant Oscar Vázquez, Gopcevich's second-in-command, later reported that while Brilliant was approaching them from the south, Yarmouth sailed ahead to Choiseul Sound, blocking the passage from the north.
HMS Yarmouth began to fire her 4.5-inch (114 mm) guns on the Argentine vessel, forcing her to manoeuvre in order to avoid the incoming rounds. When the distance fell to , Gopcevich decided that the only way to deceive the British radar was to beach Monsunen on Seal Cove, a large inlet nearby.
Shortly after he succeeded in running aground his ship and ordering the crew to abandon her, the British shelling resumed. The fire was inaccurate and aimed at the general area of landing. In the process of evacuating the vessel, one of the ratings fell overboard and suffered some serious bruises, but he was successfully rescued by a young sailor. The crew members took refuge in an improvised inland shelter.
According to Vázquez, the British squadron fired 100 high-explosive and armour-piercing rounds at Monsunen in the course of the action.
The British warships eventually called off a second SBS assault on the grounded Argentine vessel as it was unclear whether troops on board "could have stay behind in ambush".
Aftermath
The British frigates gave up their chase and withdrew from the area before sunrise; Yarmouth, with the SBS detachment aboard, headed to San Carlos waters, while Brilliant joined the carrier group for refuelling.
Monsunen was found by her complement at dawn, with her engine still running; apparently after refloating by the rising tide. However, a sling had become entangled with her propeller, disabling the transmission.
With the ship's speed now dramatically reduced, Gopcevich radioed for help to Stanley.
A few hours later, another British coastal supply ship seized by the Argentine Navy, ARA Forrest, towed Monsunen to Darwin. The much needed cargo was uploaded by ARA Forrest, which made for Stanley. The coaster successfully completed Monsunens relief mission on 25 May. ARA Monsunen was later recovered at Darwin by British forces on 29 May, after the Battle of Goose Green.
The action is thought to be the only naval encounter between armed surface ships in the war. Jorge Gopcevich-Canevari was awarded the La Nación Argentina al Valor en Combate cross.

Radio Kawsachun Coca, also known as RKC and by its English channel name Kawsachun News, is a Bolivian online and radio news network. It was founded on November 7, 2007 by the campesino workers unions and focuses on Latin American politics. It has a pro-socialist editorial line. It has both English and Spanish language channels.
History
The network was criticized in January 2020 by the former Bolivian Minister of Communication Roxana Lizárraga, who became part of the interim government after Jeanine Áñez declared herself next in line to assume the presidency. Lizárraga accused the Kawsachun news network and several community radio stations of not informing, but broadcasting "seditious voices". Under Lizárraga were with this reasoning many community radio stations shut down, other journalists restricted and a list of seditious journalists created, resulting in attacks on journalists. Lizárraga announced to Kawsachun that the freedom of expression has limits, however she did not also close Kawsachun, the station was in this conflict supported by the Movement Toward Socialism. Kawsachun reported in 2020 a recording in which Evo Morales, who was exiled after the political conflict that resulted in his resignation as President of Bolivia, called for the creation of armed militias. Morales confirmed to Reuters it's his voice and defended his words, saying "if the armed forces are shooting the people, killing the people, the people have the right to organize their security".

Biography
Gloria Moure studied Art History at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras of the Universitat de Barcelona, where she gained her doctorate with the thesis The contemporary discontinuity of modern art. Annotations to the work of Sigmar Polke. She began her career in 1977 as a freelance curator with the exhibition Richard Hamilton–Dieter Roth at the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona. In 1984, she curated a major Marcel Duchamp retrospective (Fundació Miró, Barcelona; la Caixa, Madrid, and Ludwig Museum, Cologne), the fifth after those at the Pasadena Art Museum (now Norton Simon Museum, 1963), the Tate Gallery (1966), the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1973), then travelling to the Museum of Modern Art of New York and the Art Institute of Chicago, and, finally, the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou (1977).
She was director of the Fundació Espai Poblenou in Barcelona from its opening in 1989 until 1995 and curated the first exhibitions in Spain of renowned artists such as Lawrence Weiner, Rodney Graham, Sigmar Polke, Richard Long, John Cage, Bruce Nauman, Mario Merz and Jannis Kounellis, among others.
In 1994, she was appointed director of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (CGAC, Santiago de Compostela), a post she held until 1998. She set up the centre and was instrumental in making it an international benchmark for contemporary artistic trends, organizing major retrospectives of Dan Graham, Vito Acconci, Medardo Rosso, Ana Mendieta, Félix Gonzalez-Torres, Giovanni Anselmo and Christian Boltanski, and special projects of Anish Kapoor and Juan Muñoz, among others.
From 1993 to 1997, she was a member of the management advisory committee of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid (MNCARS).
From 2002 to 2008, she was a member of the Urban Project Assessment Commission of Barcelona City Council.
She served as Executive Vice President and Member of the Board of the Barcelona Institute of Architecture (BIArch) from 2010 to 2012, where she also taught.
For public spaces she has curated permanent projects such as Urban Configurations (1992) with works by Lothar Baumgarten, Rebecca Horn, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Juan Muñoz, Jaume Plensa, Ulrich Rückriem and James Turrell, in the context of the Barcelona Olympic Games and later, Forum 2004, with works by Cristina Iglesias, Tony Oursler and Eulàlia Valldosera at the Forum site in Barcelona.

Blood Diamond is a 2006 American political action thriller film directed and co-produced by Edward Zwick and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, and Djimon Hounsou. The title refers to blood diamonds, which are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts, and thereby profit warlords and diamond companies around the world.
Set during the Sierra Leone Civil War of 1991–2002, the film depicts a country torn apart by the struggle between government loyalists and insurgent forces. It also portrays many of the atrocities of that war, including the rebels' amputation of civilians' hands to discourage them from voting in upcoming elections.
The film's ending, in which a conference is held concerning blood diamonds, refers to a historic meeting that took place in Kimberley, South Africa, in 2000. It led to development of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, which sought to certify the origin of rough diamonds in order to curb the trade in conflict diamonds; the certification scheme has since been mostly abandoned as ineffective.
The film received mainly positive reviews, with praise directed toward the performances of DiCaprio and Hounsou. The film grossed $171 million worldwide and received five Oscar nominations, including Best Actor for DiCaprio and Best Supporting Actor for Hounsou. DiCaprio received a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama (also nominated that year in the same category for The Departed). In addition, DiCaprio and Hounsou were nominated for Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role and Outstanding Male Actor in a Supporting Role at the 13th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Plot
In 1999, Sierra Leone is ravaged in a civil war. Rebel factions such as the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) frequently terrorize the countryside, intimidating Mende locals and enslaving many to harvest diamonds, which fund their increasingly successful war effort. Solomon Vandy, a local fisherman from Shenge, is captured. While his family escapes, Vandy is assigned to a workforce overseen by Captain Poison, a ruthless warlord.
While mining a river, Vandy discovers an enormous pink diamond. Captain Poison attempts to take the stone, but government troops raid the area. Vandy buries the stone before being captured. Both Vandy and Poison are incarcerated in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown, along with Danny Archer, a Rhodesian smuggler and mercenary who was caught smuggling diamonds into Liberia. The diamonds were intended for Rudolph van de Kaap, a corrupt South African mining executive and a major player in the international diamond industry.
When Archer hears about the pink diamond, he arranges for himself and Vandy to be freed from detention. He travels to Cape Town to meet his employer, Colonel Coetzee, an Afrikaner formerly with the apartheid-era South African Defence Force. He now commands a private military company. Archer wants to sell the diamond so he can leave the continent forever, but Coetzee wants it as compensation for Archer's botched smuggling mission. Archer returns to Sierra Leone, locates Vandy, and offers to help him find his family if he helps recover the diamond.
Meanwhile, RUF insurgents escalate hostilities. Freetown falls and Vandy's son, Dia, is conscripted as a child soldier under a liberated Captain Poison. Archer and Vandy narrowly escape to Lungi, where Vandy is reunited with his wife and daughters in a refugee camp. He learns the RUF took his son. Vandy and Archer plan to reach Kono where Vandy buried the diamond. They are joined by Maddy Bowen, an American journalist who is working on an exposé of the illicit diamond trade. In exchange for Bowen's help, Archer promises to provide her the evidence she needs for her story.
Archer and Vandy, disguised as television journalists, travel with Bowen and a press convoy destined for Kono. Rebels ambush the convoy, forcing the three to flee. While trekking through the jungle, they encounter Kamajor militiamen, who take them to a friendly local named Benjamin Kapanay. The kindhearted Kapanay drives them to Kono, but an RUF child soldier injures him while en route. The trio arrive in Kono after a harrowing journey, where Coetzee and his private army—contracted by the Sierra Leone government—prepare to repulse the rebel offensive.
Archer gives Bowen the evidence and forces her to evacuate the country with other civilians; Archer and Vandy, having stolen weapons and supplies from Colonel Coetzee's army, set out for Captain Poison's encampment to retrieve the diamond. Along the way, the two men argue over what is the ultimate goal: Archer wants the diamond, while Vandy only wants to find his son.
At the encampment, Archer, seeing they are heavily outnumbered, calls Coetzee's army via satellite phone to request an airstrike. Vandy, desperate to find his son, sneaks into the encampment and locates Dia; due to Dia's brainwashing, he refuses to acknowledge his father. Vandy is captured but escapes when Coetzee's army arrives. Vandy finds and kills Captain Poison as the mercenaries overwhelm the RUF defenders. Coetzee takes Dia hostage and forces Vandy to produce the diamond, but Archer kills Coetzee after realizing the colonel will eventually kill them both. Dia briefly holds the pair at gunpoint, but Vandy is able to talk him down by reminding him of who he was. Pursued by vengeful mercenaries, Archer is mortally wounded. He entrusts the stone to Vandy, telling him to take it for his family. Vandy and his son rendezvous with Archer's pilot, who flies them to safety while Archer makes a final phone call to Bowen, in Cape Town; Archer asks Bowen to assist Vandy and his family, and gives permission for Maddy to finish her article before dying.
Vandy and Bowen meet in London, where they execute an undercover operation to expose the van de Kaap operation's dirty dealings. Vandy exchanges the pink diamond for 2 million pounds and a reunion with his entire family. Bowen publishes her exposé on the diamond trade and van de Kaap's criminal actions. Later, Vandy appears as a guest speaker at a conference on blood diamonds in Kimberley, where he is met with a standing ovation.
Cast
Production
Charles Leavitt was hired by Warner Bros. in February 2004 to rewrite an early draft of the film, then titled Okavango. The story had been stuck in development hell at the studio for years before producers Paula Weinstein and Gillian Gorfil finally decided on the story of an African farmer caught up in the conflict between an American smuggler and the local diamond mining organization. Leavitt researched the diamond industry at great length before he began writing the screenplay, explaining that he has "always been a stickler for immersing [himself] in research". He wrote the film with the assumption that it would offend the diamond industry, particularly De Beers, and so made sure to portray the industry truthfully, aware that he could potentially be sued by De Beers and other powerful mining corporations. Paula Weinstein was impressed by Leavitt's Blood Diamond draft, but hired writers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz to rewrite it. By the time he had completed the script, Zwick had become so interested in the story that he agreed to direct the film as well.
Release
Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 63% based on reviews from 219 critics, with an average score of 6.30/10. The site's consensus states "Blood Diamond overcomes poor storytelling with its biting commentary and fine performances." On Metacritic it has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100, based on 39 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of A− on a scale from A to F.
Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film a positive review, calling Blood Diamond "a gem in a season with lots of worthy movies". Puig also praised DiCaprio's acting, calling it "the first time the boyish actor has truly seemed like a man on film". Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor also gave the film a positive review, and like Puig, praised DiCaprio's acting: "DiCaprio is remarkable—his work is almost on par with his performance this year in The Departed." William Arnold of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer gave the film a positive review, saying "Zwick's narrative skills keep us hooked on the story, and the first-rate production values and imaginative use of locations (it was shot in Mozambique) give the film an enthralling scope and epic sweep." Damon Wise of Empire magazine gave the film four out of five stars, saying "Great performances, provocative ideas and gripping action scenes fall prey to Hollywood logic and pat storytelling in the final hour." David Edelstein of New York magazine found the film exceeded his expectations: "Given that the movie doesn't have a single narrative surprise—you always know where it's going and why, commercially speaking, it's going there—it's amazing how good Blood Diamond is. I guess that's the surprise." Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post also praised DiCaprio's acting in both Blood Diamond and The Departed (released the same year), saying that he "has undergone a major growth spurt this year". She called the film as a whole "an unusually smart, engaged popcorn flick".
James Berardinelli of the ReelViews gave the film three out of four stars, saying "It's a solid performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, who has grown into this sort of gritty role and is more believable after having been seen dancing on the dark side in The Departed." Dana Stevens of Slate magazine wrote, "Blood Diamond is a by-the-numbers message picture, to be sure... But the director, Edward Zwick, is craftsman enough that the pace never slackens, the chase scenes thrill, and the battle scenes sicken. And if it makes viewers think twice about buying their sweethearts that hard-won hunk of ice for Christmas, so much the better." Ty Burr of The Boston Globe, after giving the film a positive review, stated: "As an entry in the advocacy-entertainment genre, in which glamorous movie stars bring our attention to the plight of the less fortunate, Blood Diamond is superior to 2003's ridiculous Beyond Borders while looking strident and obvious next to last year's The Constant Gardener.
Pete Vonder Haar of the Film Threat gave the film a mixed review, saying, "It's a reasonably entertaining actioner, and Zwick doesn't shy away from depicting violence or the horrors of war, but as a social statement it falls a little short. And emeralds are prettier anyway." Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle also gave the film a mixed review: "While the film never quite reaches the emotional peaks it so obviously seeks to scale, Zwick's film is still potent enough to save you three months salary." Nathan Lee of the Village Voice, like Vonder Haar and Savlov, also gave the film a mixed review, suggesting that "De Beers can relax; the only indignation stirred up by Blood Diamond won't be among those who worry about where their jewelry came from, but with audiences incensed by facile politics and bad storytelling". Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club gave the film a C grade: "Much like Zwick's Glory and The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond strives to be an important film while stopping well short of being genuinely provocative and artistically chancy." Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review, arguing that "director Edward Zwick tried to make a great movie, but somewhere in the process he forgot to make a good one".

Michael Carruth (born 9 July 1967) is a southpaw Irish Olympic boxer from Dublin. He is best known for winning the welterweight gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He turned Pro in 1994 but retired in 2000.

Semi-final: Defeated Arkhom Chenglai (Thailand) on points, 11-4
Final: Defeated Juan Hernández Sierra (Cuba) on points, 13-10
Carruth's medal was Ireland's first ever gold medal in boxing, only a couple of hours after teammate Wayne McCullough had to settle for the silver in bantamweight. It was also the first Olympic gold medal for Ireland since Ronnie Delaney won the Men's 1500m event at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne.
Within a few days of Carruth winning his Olympic medal the Government of Ireland announced that Carruth has been instantly promoted to sergeant within the Irish Army in recognition of his achievement at the Olympics. And, on the day of his return to Ireland, local pubs dropped the price of beer to that of 1956.
Professional boxing
Carruth turned pro in 1994 after taking leave from his job as a soldier in the Irish Army. He was trained by former Irish boxing great Steve Collins. He had limited success as a pro, losing in both of his defining pro bouts; in 1997 against Mihai Leu for the WBO Welterweight title and in 2000 against Adrian Stone for the IBO Light Middleweight title. He retired in 2000, after the loss to Stone, with a career professional record of 18-3-0.
Media
In 2006, he competed on the TV series Celebrity Jigs 'n' Reels.
Carruth has been an expert boxing analyst for RTÉ's Olympic coverage in 2008, 2012 and 2016.
In 2020, Carruth appeared in the fourth season of the Irish edition of Dancing with the Stars. Carruth and his professional partner, Karen Byrne, were eliminated on 3 February 2020.
Involvement in Gaelic games
During his short spell as senior Westmeath county football team manager, Brendan Hackett appointed Carruth as masseur in 2009.

Ginzel is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the eastern limb. It is named after the Austrian astronomer Friedrich Karl Ginzel. It lies at the eastern edge of the Mare Marginis, in a region of the surface that is sometimes brought into sight of the Earth due to libration. To the north-northeast of Ginzel is the crater Popov, and Dreyer lies due south.
Much of the rim and interior of Ginzel have been flooded, leaving only a faint trace of the rim in the otherwise relatively level surface. The western rim projects more prominently above the surrounding irregular plain. The flooded satellite crater Ginzel L is attached to the southern part of the rim, and a small craterlet lies across the rim to the north. Within the interior is a pair of joined small craterlets in the western half. The interior is otherwise nearly featureless.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Ginzel.

The Idaho stop is the common name for laws that allow bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign, and a red light as a stop sign. It first became law in Idaho in 1982, but was not adopted elsewhere until Delaware adopted a limited stop-as-yield law, the "Delaware Yield", in 2017. Arkansas was the second state to legalize both stop-as-yield and red-light-as-stop in April 2019. Studies in Delaware and Idaho have shown significant decreases in crashes at stop-controlled intersections.
Legality by state
History
The original Idaho yield law was introduced as Idaho HB 541 during a comprehensive revision of Idaho traffic laws in 1982. At that time, minor traffic offenses were criminal offenses and there was a desire to downgrade many of these to "civil public offenses" to free up docket time.
Carl Bianchi, then the Administrative Director of the Courts in Idaho, saw an opportunity to attach a modernization of the bicycle law onto the larger revision of the traffic code. He drafted a new bicycle code that would more closely conform with the Uniform Vehicle Code, and included new provisions allowing bicyclists to take the lane, or to merge left, when appropriate. Addressing the concerns of the state's magistrates, who were concerned that "technical violations" of traffic control device laws by bicyclists were cluttering the court, the draft also contained a provision that allowed bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign—the so-called "rolling stop law". The new bicycle law passed in 1982, despite objections among some bicyclists and law enforcement officers.
In 2006, the law was modified to specify that bicyclists must stop on red lights and yield before proceeding straight through the intersection, and before turning left at an intersection. This had been the original intent, but Idaho law enforcement officials wanted it specified.The law originally passed with an education provision, but that was removed in 1988 because "youthful riders quickly
adapted to the new system and had more respect for a law that legalized actual riding behavior".
In 2001, Joel Fajans, a physics professor at the University of California at Berkeley, and Melanie Curry, a magazine editor, published an essay entitled "Why Bicyclists Hate Stop Signs" on why rolling stops were better for bicyclists and it provided greater interest in the Idaho law.
The first effort to enact the law outside of Idaho was started in Oregon in 2003, when the Idaho law still only applied to stop signs. While it overwhelmingly passed in the House, it never made it out of the Senate Rules Committee. The Oregon effort in turn inspired an investigation of the law by the San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission in 2008. That investigation failed to spawn legislation, but it did garner national attention, which led to similar efforts nationwide.
The term "Idaho Stop" came into popular use as a result of the California effort in 2008. Prior to that, it was called "Idaho Style" or "Roll-and-go". "Idaho Stop" was popularized by the bicycle blogger Richard Masoner in June 2008 coverage of the San Francisco proposal, but in reference to the "Idaho Stop Law"; the term had been used in discussion since at least the year prior. In August of the same year, the term—now in quotes—first showed up in print in a Christian Science Monitor article by Ben Arnoldy who referred to the "so-called 'Idaho stop' rule". Soon after, the term "Idaho stop" was commonly being used as a noun, not a modifier.
Safety
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration fact sheet published in March 2023 states that Stop as Yield and Red as Stop laws "showed added safety benefits for bicyclists in States where they were evaluated, and may positively affect the environment, traffic, and transportation". Acting Administrator Ann Carlson stated at a conference in October 2022 that "it increases [bicyclist] visibility to drivers and reduces their exposure. It also promotes safety in numbers by encouraging more people to bike which reduces cyclists overall risks.”
A 2009 study showed a 14.5% decrease in bicyclist injuries after the passage of the original Idaho Stop law (though did not otherwise tie the decrease to the law). A Delaware state-run study of the "Delaware Yield" law (allowing bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs) concluded that it reduced injuries at stop-sign controlled intersections by 23%.
A study of rolling stops in Seattle determined that "results support the theoretical assertion that bicyclists are capable of making safe decisions regarding rolling stop", while a 2013 survey of stop as yield in Colorado localities where it is legal reported no increase in crashes. Another study done in Chicago showed that compliance with stop signs and stop lights by cyclists was low when cross-traffic was not present, but that most were still performing an Idaho Stop; and therefore "enforcing existing rules at these intersections would seem arbitrary and [capricious]".
International approaches
Various approaches to stop-as-yield and red light-as-stop laws exist outside of the United States. In the Netherlands, many junctions are designed to avoid the need for a stop sign, using techniques such as roundabouts, marking the road to indicate who must yield to whom. In 2012 a trial in Paris allowed bicyclists at 15 intersections to turn right or, if there is no street to the right, proceed straight ahead on red, under the condition that they "exercise caution" and yield to pedestrians, after road safety experts deemed the measure would reduce collisions. After the trial, French law was modified to allow bicyclists to treat certain stop lights as yield signs as allowed by signage. Some French cities, like Lyon, have installed the sign on many red lights citywide.
Legislative history
The "Idaho Stop" has been state policy there since 1982, with Idaho Transportation Department Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator Mark McNeese saying in 2015 that "Idaho bicycle-collision statistics confirm that the Idaho law has resulted in no discernible increase in injuries or fatalities to bicyclists."
There was a resurgence of attempts to legalize stop-as-yield in other states in the 2000s. After Oregon and San Francisco’s failed attempts to have similar bills passed, the Colorado cities of Dillon and Breckenridge, passed stop-as-yield laws in 2011, the first places in the country outside of Idaho. in 2012 Summit County passed a similar law for its unincorporated areas, and in 2014, the City of Aspen passed one as well. In 2018, the state passed a law standardizing the language municipalities or counties could use to pass an Idaho Stop or Stop-as-yield ordinance and preventing it from applying to any state highway system.
In 2017, 35 years after Idaho, Delaware became the second U.S. state to pass an Idaho Stop law. Delaware's law - known as the "Delaware Yield" - makes stop-as-yield legal, but it only applies on roads with one or two travel lanes. Bicyclists must come to a complete stop at stop sign-controlled intersections with multi-lane roads.
In April 2019, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson signed the Arkansas "Idaho stop" law. On August 6, 2019, Oregon Governor Kate Brown signed Stop as Yield into law with an effective date of January 1, 2020. Washington State legalized stop-as-yield in October 2020. On March 18, 2021, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed Stop as Yield into law for the state and on the next day, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum signed a similar law for that state. On May 10, 2021, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed House Bill 1770, which will allow bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and stop lights as stop signs effective November 1, 2021. In April 2022, Colorado passed a law legalizing both Stop as Yield and Red as Stop statewide, overruling the previous patchwork of local laws.
In December 2022, Washington, DC adopted the Safer Streets Amendment Act which allows bicyclists to yield at stop signs. The Act also allows bicyclists to turn right at a red light after stopping, which was banned for drivers at the same time. An earlier version of the bill included a general “Red Light as Stop” provision but this was replaced with a provision that would allow “Red Light as Stop” only at specific intersections with signage posted.
In May 2023, Minnesota passed a law that allowed bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign.
Idaho stop style bills, or resolutions asking the state to pass one, have been introduced in but not yet successful in Arizona, Montana, New York City, Santa Fe, Edmonton, New Jersey, Virginia, and Texas. In California, an Idaho Stop bill was vetoed in 2021 due to the governor’s concerns that the law would confuse children; in 2022 the legislature withdrew a bill legalizing the Idaho Stop for adults after the governor indicated it would be vetoed again. Another bill passed the California Assembly in May 2023.
Positions
Advocates for Idaho stop laws argue that they improve safety. One study showed that Idaho has less severe crashes. Similarly, tests of a modified form of the Idaho Stop in Paris found that "allowing the cyclists to move more freely cut down the chances of collisions with cars, including accidents involving the car's blind spot". Some supporters maintain that changing the legal duties of bicyclists provides direction to law enforcement to focus attention where it belongs—on unsafe bicyclists (and motorists). Additionally, some claim that, because bicycle laws should be designed to allow bicyclists to travel swiftly and easily, the Idaho stop provision allows for the conservation of energy.
Opponents of the law maintain that a uniform, unambiguous set of laws that apply to all road users is easier for children to understand and allowing bicyclists to behave by a separate set of rules than drivers makes them less predictable and thus, less safe. Jack Gillette, former president of the Boise Bicycle Commuters Association, argued that bicyclists should not have greater freedoms than drivers. "Bicyclists want the same rights as drivers, and maybe they should have the same duties", he said. San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee argued without citing evidence that the law "directly endangers pedestrians and cyclists" in his veto of a similar law in the city.
Related laws
Many US states have laws allowing bicyclists (and motorcyclists) to stop at and then proceed through a red light if the light doesn't change due to the inability of the embedded sensors in the ground to detect them. Such laws often require that the bicyclist stop, confirm that there is no oncoming traffic, and proceed after waiting a certain amount of time or cycles of the light. These are known as "Dead Red" laws.
Lane splitting, which allows people on bicycles and motorcycles to "filter" through stopped or slow-moving traffic, is legal in a handful of US states and large parts of the world.
In countries that do not generally allow right turns on red, some allow right turns on red for bicyclists, either in general as in Belgium, or where specifically marked, such as Denmark, Germany and France.

Count Jacques Andres Coghen (31 October 1791 in Brussels – 15 May 1858 in Brussels) was the second Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Belgium (1831-1832), and a direct ancestor of the current King, Philippe of Belgium.
A founding father of Belgium, Coghen was a merchant, financier, and politician of the Liberal Party. He was elevated to the rank of count in 1837.
Ancestry
Before the family Coghen moved to Brussels, they were living from the early 14th century in the city of Diest as merchants and financial stewards. Some of them held official positions in that city such as mayor. During the Protestant Rebellion of the mid-16th century they supported the cause of William of Orange, the leader of that rebellion in the Low Countries, because the city of Diest was one of the four cities of the family of William of Orange (the other three being Breda, Duisburg and Orange).
Coghen was the son of Joseph Coghen (1749-1820), an apothecary, and his wife, Isabelle Stielemans, who was a native of Brussels.
His paternal grandfather, Jan Baptist Coghen (1717-1773) was born, was married, and died in Brussels.
His paternal grandmother, Catharina Theresia Huwaerts (1710-1749), was also born and died in Brussels, and her parents, Marie Therese van Cutsem (1668-1726/1727) and Joose Huwaerts (d. 1742), as well as their parents, were also from old Dutch families in the Brussels area (including such families as Ghysels, Walravens, de Broijer, Haeck, de Proost, and de Leenheer).
His mother was descended from several ancient Belgian families, from Brussels and Diest, whose ancestors in the sixteenth century appear to have been butchers and merchants, and who in the early seventeenth century included magistrates of the old county of Campine (Kempen in Dutch).
Early life and business
Coghen was born on 31 October 1791.
He was married, on 17 May 1821, to Caroline Rittweger. The Rittweger family was from Altenkunstadt in Bavaria but moved to Brussels at the end of the 18th century when they were officials in the Postal Office of the Austrian Empire. François Rittweger, the father of Caroline, was a Brussels politician, director of several financial companies and financial advisor to the Belgian King Leopold I. He was freemason in the lodge "Les Amis Philanthropes". Jacques Coghen was also a freemason in the lodge "L'Espérance" in Brussels where he met other freemasons who would become leaders of the Belgian Revolution, namely Jean Barbanson (1797-1883), Eugène Defacqz (1797-1871), en Alexandre Gendebien (1789-1869).
The Coghen's had five children - Isabelle (1822-1891), Barbara (1823-1883), Henriette (1825-1880), Joseph-Frantz (1827-1888) and Marie (1832-1870).
Before the Belgian Revolution broke out, Coghen was a respected merchant and banker in Brussels; he was Chairman of the Commercial Court and a member of the Advisory Chamber of Commerce. In 1824, he co-founded, with Francois Rittweger, AG Life, the life insurance company, and in 1830, AG Fire, both of which later became part of the €45 billion Fortis, "the oldest and most important insurance company in Belgium", until its collapse in 2008.
He helped to start a glass factory cooperative company, Verreries de Mariemont, in 1829. Also in 1829, he bought Wolvendael, a 1763 castle near Uccle, from duke Charles-Louis-Auguste de Looz-Corswarem.
Public life
Dutch Troops had scarcely retreated from the capital of Belgium, when the Provisional Government, on 28 September 1830, named Coghen deputy head of the new Federal Finance commission, until the first meeting of the Congress national. Between October 1830 and February 1831, Coghen served on this new Conseil des Commissaires ("Congress of Commissioners") for the new nation's banking. For a short time in the fall of 1830, the new finance commission only had two employees, Coghen and an assistant attorney.
In the first elections for the municipal council in October 1830, Coghen was elected as one of the representatives; he was re-elected in 1836, and served until 1840. At this time, it was his determination not to remain a member of the board, which was caused by the opposition in the assembly regarding the project to rebuild the Palace of Justice in Brussels. The Leopold district project was sponsored by financial companies, particularly by the Civil society for the expansion and beautification of Brussels, of which Coghen was one of the founders.
Coghen also served on the National Congress; he had felt obliged to accept the offer that was made to him. In 1831, he joined the House of Representatives as member from the district of Brussels, and was re-elected in 1833, in 1837, and in 1841. He was defeated in 1845, when the struggle became more intense between the two parties that divided the country, but he was sent in 1848, by the voters in the same district, to the Senate, where he remained a member until his death. He also was one of the vice-presidents of the Senate when he died.
Coghen joined the cabinet of the first Muelenaere Government that was formed by king Leopold I on 24 July 1831. He held the finance portfolio until 20 October 1832. He went through a difficult period marked by the Ten Days' Campaign, a failed attempt to suppress the Belgian revolution by the Dutch king William I between 1 August and 12 August 1831. As Minister of Finance he negotiated and signed on 19 December 1831 an important loan with the London banker Nathan Rotschild that saved the newly born Belgian state from collapse.
He later reorganized some utilities.
On 20 October 1832, the Muelenaere Government fell, and the King called the first Rogier government; thus "Coghen was replaced as the minister of Finances by Auguste Duvivier."
Return to business and later career
After 1832, he returned to private life, when he devoted himself with ardor to some major financial, industrial and commercial enterprises. He became a director and shareholder of the Verreries de Mariemont, in 1835. He was a director of the Société générale de Belgique General Society of Belgium, arguably the most important company that has ever existed in Belgium, which has since been merged into the Suez-Tractebel group. The company had owned very large estates, some of which were sold off to members of the Board. The company invested in banks, coal mining, and utilities. In 1841, he was recorded as having been first appointed an administrateur (member of the board of directors) of the General Society of Belgium, with his title as ancien ministre de finances (former finance minister).
He was also a member of the Board of the Central School of Commerce and Industry.
He had purchased a castle, Wolvendael in Uccle, and land in the Sonian Forest. He made some improvements to the castle, adding three bays.
In 1851, Coghen returned to public life, this time the Senate; it has not been unusual for aristocrats to be elected directly to that position. Previously a Unionist, he broke with the Liberal party and then joined the Catholic party, in the controversy over a new inheritance law. In 1855, he was re-elected to the Senate after returning to the Liberal party, and served as vice-president of the Senate at the time of his death.
Honours and awards
After successfully securing a loan to the Roman Court, Pope Gregory XVI granted him the title of Count. The first king of the Belgians sanctioned this distinction by giving him the rank of Count for himself and the comital title to his male descendants (Royal Decree December 30, 1837).

Death and legacy
Jacques Coghen died in Lembeek, on 16 May 1858. He is buried at Laeken Cemetery in Brussels. After his death, his family sold his estate at Wolvendael into lots; today, most of his estate is a city park in Uccle, and the old castle retains some improvements made by Coghen.
In 2004, the city of Genk named a street after Coghen.
The local history society of Uccle has a collection of papers by and about Coghen.
His daughter, Isabelle Coghen (1822-1891), married Theodore Mosselman du Chenoy. Their daughter Laura Mosselman du Chenoy married Fulco Tristano Beniamino Ruffo di Calabria (1848-1901). Their son Fulco Ruffo di Calabria was the father of Queen Paola. Through them, Coghen is a great-great-great grandfather of the current King of the Belgians, Phillipe.

Some fruit juices and fruits can interact with numerous drugs, in many cases causing adverse effects. The effect is most studied with grapefruit and grapefruit juice, but similar effects have been observed with certain other citrus fruits.
The effect was first discovered accidentally in 1991, when a test of drug interactions with alcohol used grapefruit juice to hide the taste of the ethanol. A 2005 medical review advised patients to avoid all citrus juices until further research clarifies the risks. It was reported in 2008 that similar effects had been observed with apple juice.
One whole grapefruit, or a small glass () of grapefruit juice, can cause drug overdose toxicity. Fruit consumed three days before the medicine can still have an effect. The relative risks of different types of citrus fruit have not been systematically studied. Affected drugs typically have an auxiliary label saying "Do not take with grapefruit" on the container, and the interaction is elaborated upon in the package insert. People are also advised to ask their physician or pharmacist about drug interactions.
The effects are caused by furanocoumarins (and, to a lesser extent, flavonoids). These chemicals inhibit key drug metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). CYP3A4 is a metabolizing enzyme for almost 50% of drugs, and is found in the liver and small intestinal epithelial cells. As a result, many drugs are affected. Inhibition of enzymes can have two different effects, depending on whether the drug is either
metabolized by the enzyme to an inactive metabolite, or
activated by the enzyme to an active metabolite.
In the first instance, inhibition of drug-metabolizing enzymes results in elevated concentrations of an active drug in the body, which may cause adverse effects. Conversely, if the medication is a prodrug, it needs to be metabolised to be converted to the active drug. Compromising its metabolism lowers concentrations of the active drug, reducing its therapeutic effect, and risking therapeutic failure.
Low drug concentrations can also be caused when the fruit suppresses drug absorption from the intestine.
History
The effect of grapefruit juice with regard to drug absorption was originally discovered in 1989 by a group led by pharmacologist David Bailey. Their first published clinical report on grapefruit drug interactions was in 1991.
Polyphenols
Citrus fruits may contain various polyphenols, including naringin and furanocoumarins, such as bergamottin, dihydroxybergamottin, and bergapten. Grapefruit, Seville oranges, and bergamot contain naringin. Furanocoumarins may have a stronger effect than naringin.
Mechanism
Organic derivatives of furanocoumarin interfere with liver and intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 and may be responsible for the effects of grapefruit on the enzyme. Cytochrome isoforms affected by grapefruit components also include CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6. Drugs metabolized by these enzymes may have interactions with citrus chemicals.
When drugs are taken orally, they enter the gut lumen to be absorbed in the small intestine and sometimes, in the stomach. In order for drugs to be absorbed, they must pass through the epithelial cells that line the lumen wall before they can enter the hepatic portal circulation to be distributed systemically in blood circulation. Drugs are metabolized by drug-specific metabolizing enzymes in the epithelial cells. Metabolizing enzymes transform these drugs into metabolites. The primary purpose for drug metabolism is to detoxify, inactivate, solubilize and eliminate these drugs. As a result, the amount of the drug in its original form that reaches systemic circulation is reduced due to this first-pass metabolism.
Many drugs are impacted by consumption of citrus juice. When the metabolizing enzyme is inhibited, less of the drug will be metabolized by it in the epithelial cells. This interaction is particularly dangerous when the drug in question has a low therapeutic index, so that a small increase in blood concentration can be the difference between therapeutic effect and toxicity. Citrus juice inhibits the enzyme only within the intestines if consumed in small amounts. When larger amounts are consumed they may also inhibit the enzyme in the liver. The hepatic enzyme inhibition may cause an additional increase in potency and a prolonged metabolic half-life (prolonged metabolic half-life for all ways of drug administration). The degree of the effect varies widely between individuals and between samples of juice, and therefore cannot be accounted for a priori.
Another mechanism of interaction is possibly through the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 localized in the brush border of the enterocytes.
Duration and timing
Metabolism interactions
Grapefruit–drug interactions that affect the pre-systemic metabolism (i.e., the metabolism that occurs before the drug enters the blood) of drugs have a different duration of action than interactions that work by other mechanisms, such as on absorption, discussed below.
The interaction is greatest when the juice is ingested with the drug or up to 4 hours before the drug.
The location of the inhibition occurs in the lining of the intestines, not within the liver. The effects last because grapefruit-mediated inhibition of drug metabolizing enzymes, like CYP3A4, is irreversible; that is, once the grapefruit has "broken" the enzyme, the intestinal cells must produce more of the enzyme to restore their capacity to metabolize drugs that the enzyme is used to metabolize. It takes around 24 hours to regain 50% of the cell's baseline enzyme activity and it can take 72 hours for the enzyme activity to completely return to baseline. For this reason, simply separating citrus consumption and medications taken daily does not avoid the drug interaction.
Absorption interactions
For medications that interact due to inhibition of OATP (organic anion-transporting polypeptides), a relative short period of time is needed to avoid this interaction, and a 4-hour interval between grapefruit consumption and the medication should suffice. For drugs recently sold on the market, drugs have information pages (monographs) that provide information on any potential interaction between a medication and grapefruit juice. Because there is a growing number of medications that are known to interact with citrus, patients should consult a pharmacist or physician before consuming citrus while taking their medications.
Affected fruit
Grapefruit is not the only citrus fruit that can interact with medications. One medical review advised patients to avoid all citrus.
There are three ways to test if a fruit interacts with drugs:
Test a drug–fruit combination in humans
Test a fruit chemically for the presence of the interacting polyphenol compounds
Test a fruit genetically for the genes needed to make the interacting polyphenol compounds
The first approach involves risk to trial volunteers. The first and second approaches have another problem: the same fruit cultivar could be tested twice with different results. Depending on growing and processing conditions, concentrations of the interacting polyphenol compounds can vary dramatically. The third approach is hampered by a paucity of knowledge of the genes in question.
Citrus genetics and interactions
A descendant of citrus cultivars that cannot produce the problematic polyphenol compounds would presumably also lack the genes to produce them. Many citrus cultivars are hybrids of a small number of ancestral species, which have now been fully genetically sequenced.
Many traditional citrus groups, such as true sweet oranges and lemons, seem to be bud sports, mutant descendants of a single hybrid ancestor. In theory, cultivars in a bud sport group would be either all safe or all problematic. Nonetheless, new citrus varieties arriving on the market are increasingly likely to be sexually created hybrids, not asexually created sports.
The ancestry of a hybrid cultivar may not be known. Even if it is known, it is not possible to be certain that a cultivar will not interact with drugs on the basis of taxonomy, as it is not known which ancestors lack the capacity to make the problematic polyphenol compounds. Nonetheless, many of the citrus cultivars known to be problematic seem to be closely related.
Ancestral species
Pomelo (the Asian fruit that was crossed with an orange to produce grapefruit) contains high amounts of furanocoumarin derivatives. Grapefruit relatives and other varieties of pomelo have variable amounts of furanocoumarin.
The Dancy cultivar has a small amount of pomelo ancestry, but is genetically close to a non-hybrid true mandarin (unlike most commercial mandarins, which may have much more extensive hybridization). Eight Dancy fruits, all picked at one time from one tree, have been blended and tested for furanocoumarins; none were detectable.
No citron or papeda seems to have been tested.
Hybrid cultivars
Both sweet oranges and bitter oranges are mandarin-pomelo hybrids. Bitter oranges (such as the Seville oranges often used in marmalade) can interfere with drugs including etoposide, a chemotherapy drug, some beta blocker drugs used to treat high blood pressure, and cyclosporine, taken by transplant patients to prevent rejection of their new organs. Evidence on sweet oranges is more mixed.
Tests on some tangelos (hybrids of mandarins/tangerines and pomelo or grapefruit) have not shown significant amounts of furanocoumarin; these studies were also conducted on eight fruit all picked at one time from one tree.
Common lemons are the product of orange/citron hybridization, and hence have pomelo ancestry, and although Key limes are papeda/citron hybrids, the more commercially prevalent Persian limes and similar varieties are crosses of the Key lime with lemons, and hence likewise have pomelo ancestry. These limes can also inhibit drug metabolism. Other less-common citrus species also referred to as lemons or limes are genetically distinct from the more common varieties, with different proportions of pomelo ancestry.
Inaccurate labeling
Marketing classifications often do not correspond to taxonomic ones. The "Ambersweet" cultivar is classified and sold as an orange, but does not descend from the same common ancestor as sweet oranges; it has grapefruit, orange, and mandarin ancestry. Fruits are often sold as mandarin, tangerine, or satsuma (which may be synonyms). Fruit sold under these names include many that are, like Sunbursts and Murcotts, hybrids with grapefruit ancestry. The diversity of fruits called limes is remarkable; some, like the Spanish lime and Wild lime, are not even citrus fruit.
In some countries, citrus fruit must be labelled with the name of a registered cultivar. Juice is often not so labelled. Some medical literature also names the cultivar tested.
Other fruit and vegetables
The discovery that flavonoids are responsible for some interactions make it plausible that other fruit and vegetables are affected.
Apple juice
Apple juice, especially commercially produced products, interferes with the action of OATPs. This interference can decrease the absorption of a variety of commonly used medications, including beta blockers like atenolol, antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, and antihistamines like montelukast.
Apple juice has been implicated in interfering with etoposide, a chemotherapy drug, and cyclosporine, taken by transplant patients to prevent rejection of their new organs.
Pomegranate juice
Pomegranate juice inhibits the action of the drug metabolizing enzymes CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. , however, the currently available literature does not appear to indicate a clinically relevant impact of pomegranate juice on drugs that are metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP3A4.
Affected drugs
Researchers have identified over 85 drugs with which grapefruit is known to have an adverse reaction. According to a review done by the Canadian Medical Association, there is an increase in the number of potential drugs that can interact with grapefruit juice, and of the number of fruit types that can interact with those drugs. From 2008 to 2012, the number of drugs known to potentially interact with grapefruit, with risk of harmful or even dangerous effects (gastrointestinal bleeding, nephrotoxicity), increased from 17 to 43.
Traits
The interaction between citrus and medication depends on the individual drug, and not the class of the drug. Drugs that interact usually share three common features: they are taken orally, normally only a small amount enters systemic blood circulation, and they are metabolized by CYP3A4. The effects on the CYP3A4 in the liver could in principle cause interactions with non-oral drugs, and non-CYP3A4-mediated effects also exist.
Cytochrome isoforms affected by grapefruit components include CYP3A4, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6. Drugs that are metabolized by these enzymes may have interactions with components of grapefruit.
An easy way to tell if a medication may be affected by grapefruit juice is by researching whether another known CYP3A4 inhibitor drug is already contraindicated with the active drug of the medication in question. Examples of such known CYP3A4 inhibitors include cisapride (Propulsid), erythromycin, itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), and mibefradil (Posicor).
Incomplete list of affected drugs
By enzyme
Drugs that interact with grapefruit compounds at CYP3A4 include
benzodiazepines: triazolam (Halcion), orally administered midazolam (Versed), orally administered nitrazepam (Mogodon), diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), alprazolam (Xanax) and quazepam (Doral, Dormalin)
ritonavir (Norvir): Inhibition of CYP3A4 prevents the metabolism of protease inhibitors such as ritonavir.
sertraline (Zoloft and Lustral)
verapamil (Covera-HS, Calan, Verelan, and Isoptin)
Drugs that interact with grapefruit compounds at CYP1A2 include
caffeine
Drugs that interact with grapefruit compounds at CYP2D6 include
dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine)
dextroamphetamine (75%)/ levoamphetamine (25%) (Adderall)
dextromethamphetamine (Desoxyn)
Research has been done on the interaction between amphetamines and CYP2D6 enzyme, and researchers concluded that some parts of substrate molecules contribute to the binding of the enzyme.
Other interactions
Additional drugs found to be affected by grapefruit juice include, but are not limited to
Some statins, including atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), and simvastatin (Zocor, Simlup, Simcor, Simvacor)
In contrast, pravastatin (Pravachol), fluvastatin (Lescol), and rosuvastatin (Crestor) are unaffected by grapefruit.
Anti-arrhythmics including amiodarone (Cordarone), dronedarone (Multaq), quinidine (Quinidex, Cardioquin, Quinora), disopyramide (Norpace), propafenone (Rythmol) and carvedilol (Coreg)
Amlodipine: Grapefruit increases the available amount of the drug in the blood stream, leading to an unpredictable increase in antihypertensive effects.
Anti-migraine drugs ergotamine (Cafergot, Ergomar), amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep, Vanatrip) and nimodipine (Nimotop)
Erectile dysfunction drugs sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra)
Acetaminophen/paracetamol (Tylenol) concentrations were found to be increased in murine blood by white and pink grapefruit juice, with the white juice acting faster. "The bioavailability of paracetamol was significantly reduced following multiple GFJ administration" in mice and rats. This suggests that repeated intake of grapefruit juice reduces the efficacy and bioavailability of acetaminophen/paracetamol in comparison with a single dose of grapefruit juice, which conversely increases the efficacy and bioavailability of acetaminophen/paracetamol.
Anthelmintics: Used for treating certain parasitic infections; includes praziquantel
Buprenorphine: Metabolized into norbuprenorphine by CYP3A4
Buspirone (Buspar): Grapefruit juice increased peak and AUC plasma concentrations of buspirone 4.3- and 9.2-fold, respectively, in a randomized, 2-phase, ten-subject crossover study.
Codeine is a prodrug that produces its analgesic properties following metabolism to morphine entirely by CYP2D6.
Ciclosporin (cyclosporine, Neoral): Blood levels of ciclosporin are increased if taken with grapefruit juice, orange juice, or apple juice. A plausible mechanism involves the combined inhibition of enteric CYP3A4 and MDR1, which potentially leads to serious adverse events (e.g., nephrotoxicity). Blood levels of tacrolimus (Prograf) can also be equally affected for the same reason as ciclosporin, as both drugs are calcineurin inhibitors.
Dihydropyridines including felodipine (Plendil), nicardipine (Cardene), nifedipine, nisoldipine (Sular) and nitrendipine (Bayotensin)
Erlotinib (Tarceva)
Exemestane, aromasin, and by extension all estrogen-like compounds and aromatase inhibitors that mimic estrogen in function will be increased in effect, causing increased estrogen retention and increased drug retention.
Etoposide interferes with grapefruit, orange, and apple juices.
Fexofenadine (Allegra) concentrations are decreased rather than increased as is the case with most grapefruit–drug interactions.
Fluvoxamine (Luvox, Faverin, Fevarin and Dumyrox)
Imatinib (Gleevec): Although no formal studies with imatinib and grapefruit juice have been conducted, the fact that grapefruit juice is a known inhibitor of the CYP 3A4 suggests that co-administration may lead to increased imatinib plasma concentrations. Likewise, although no formal studies were conducted, co-administration of imatinib with another specific type of citrus juice called Seville orange juice (SOJ) may lead to increased imatinib plasma concentrations via inhibition of the CYP3A isoenzymes. Seville orange juice is not usually consumed as a juice because of its sour taste, but it is found in marmalade and other jams. Seville orange juice has been reported to be a possible inhibitor of CYP3A enzymes without affecting MDR1 when taken concomitantly with ciclosporin.
Ketamine: After drinking 200 mL of grapefruit juice daily for five days, the overall absorption of orally ingested ketamine was three-fold compared to a control group of a clinical trial. The peak blood ketamine concentration was over two-fold.
Levothyroxine (Eltroxin, Levoxyl, Synthroid): "Grapefruit juice may slightly delay the absorption of levothyroxine, but it seems to have only a minor effect on its bioavailability."
Losartan (Cozaar)
Methadone: Inhibits the metabolism of methadone and raises serum levels.
Omeprazole (Losec, Prilosec)
Oxycodone: grapefruit juice enhances the exposure to oral oxycodone. And a randomized, controlled trial 12 healthy volunteers ingested 200 mL of either grapefruit juice or water three times daily for five days. On the fourth day 10 mg of oxycodone hydrochloride were administered orally. Analgesic and behavioral effects were reported for 12 hours and plasma samples were analyzed for oxycodone metabolites for 48 hours. Grapefruit juice and increased the mean area under the oxycodone concentration-time curve (AUC(0-∞)) by 1.7 fold, the peak plasma concentration by 1.5-fold and the half-life of oxycodone by 1.2-fold as compared to water. The metabolite-to-parent ratios of noroxycodone and noroxymorphone decreased by 44% and 45% respectively. Oxymorphone AUC(0-∞) increased by 1.6-fold but the metabolite-to-parent ratio remained unchanged.
Quetiapine (Seroquel)
Repaglinide (Prandin)
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex): Tamoxifen is metabolized by CYP2D6 into its active metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen. Grapefruit juice may potentially reduce the effectiveness of tamoxifen.
Trazodone (Desyrel): Little or no interaction with grapefruit juice.
Verapamil (Calan SR, Covera HS, Isoptin SR, Verelan): atrioventricular conduction disorders.
Warfarin (coumadin)
Zolpidem (Ambien): Little or no interaction with grapefruit juice

Reception
Critical response
The film received mixed response from critics. Mid-Day noted that "with a line-up of seasoned character actors known for their comic timings", the film could have been a "laugh ride", writing that the filmmaker's "felt their mere presence was enough to prop the film" allowing them to work with a "meandering script" that jumped "from one character to another" in a manner "bound to test the audience's patience". They also chided the inane dialogues and referred to the film as "balderdash", and a "no-brainer... ...made purely for the 'aam janata' of the hinterland".
IndiaGlitz noted that through consideration of cast of established comic actors, there were certain "set expectations" for the film, in that viewers would not expect "a classic in the making" and would appreciate surrendering "to the antics of a dozen odd comic players on the screen." They also noted that the entire first half of the film is spent establishing its characters and that the second half "is an unabashed copy of Sholay with a little bit of Tees Maar Khan added as well." They concluded that "despite very low expectations" the film itself "turns out to be a barely passable affair".
Glamsham noted that with the film's multiple comedic actors and special songs it "clearly aims to be a complete masala film." They also noted that with "a plethora of actors who are known to tickle your funny bone, one would have at least expected a few laughs" from the film, but that it instead "turns out to be a tedious watch and a test of your patience." They wrote that the plot was unoriginal, the treatment was poor and the film's climax was both predictable and "totally uninspiring." They concluded that "Anand Raj Anand's music is passable. Johny Lall's cinematography is unimpressive. Pranav Dhiwar's editing is tacky."
Box office
Bin Bulaye Baraati had an average opening commercially, and collected a poor gross of 65 million in its opening weekend. Facing competition with the film Ready, Always Kabhi Kabhi and Double Dhamaal seems to be the official reason to why the film failed to do well at the box office. Its total gross was 130 million worldwide, and was declared a Disaster grosser worldwide by Box office India.

Ulva australis, the southern sea lettuce, is a species of bright green coloured seaweed in the family Ulvaceae that can be found in waters around Australia and was first described by Swedish botanist Johan Erhard Areschoug. It is an edible green algae, although sometimes designated as a seaweed. General characteristics of Ulva australis include a smooth surface, distromatic blades, lobed fronds, and thallus color from dark green to light grass green. It can be either free floating or attached by a single holdfast. Its cells appear to be irregularly arranged, have rounded edges, and have shapes such as rectilinear, square, and pentagonal.
It has been researched for a number of scientific properties in distinct fields such as environmental protection, medicine, and pharmacology.
Ulva rigida has sometimes been confused with this species.
Origin
The taxa of Ulva macro-algae are distributed worldwide, and because they have so few characters that are often different among the taxa members, they are known to be difficult to classify. Many Ulva members found near the Australia has been equated with species elsewhere in the world, and Ulva australis, first described from the samples Arechoug collected in Southern Australia, is one of them.
Once considered to be a temperate species, Ulva pertusa is one of the most common green algae in Japan that lives in the intertidal coast, and it is native to northeastern Asia. Upon studying the DNA fragments extracted from collected specimens, Ulva pertusa has almost identical DNA sequences, with very small sequence divergence when comparing with the reported genetic data from Australia. The researchers tested the hypothesis that U. australis is an independent species, but, the hypothesis was rejected due to U. australis' natural habitat along the shoreline being suppressed by the U. pertusa populations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Ulva australis is a species introduced to Australia that originated in Japan. However, the researchers hypothesize that the U. australis was not directly introduced from Japan to Australia, but rather from non-indigenous populations elsewhere in northeastern Asia.
Factors Affecting Growth
Researchers used a factorial experimental design to test the three factors that has influence on the growth of Ulva australis with two levels of each factor: Carbon dioxide (380 and 750 ppm), nutrient (control and PES medium), and irradiance (50 and 100 μmol photons m−2 s−1). It was experimentally shown that the growth and photosynthesis of Ulva australis increases when the levels of carbon dioxide and nutrient are higher, i.e. 750 ppm and PES medium in the experiment. However, the optimal level for irradiance for their growth and photosynthesis differed among the three lives stages. The germlings favored higher level of irradiance, whereas the preferred lower level of irradiance.
Application in Environmental Protection
Ulva australis has the ability to participate in environmental protection. Human activities has released metals into the sea, and when these metals exceed the standard, they will cause metal pollution. Measuring and removing these pollutants has always been a problem. When Ulva australis are in the sea area with serious metal pollution, the metal ions in their cell walls and vacuoles will increase, which indicates that they can absorb metals in the ocean. In addition, the research results also show that compared with other metals, they have stronger absorption capacity for zinc. The results indicate that the metal pollution of a given area could be known by transplanting Ulva australis into the polluted area and measuring the metal ion content in its cell wall and vacuole. Moreover, Ulva australis can also be used as biological tools to remove metal pollution. The metal absorption capacity of Ulva australis has an upper limit, and excessive metal pollution will damage their thallus, thus it is necessary to replace Ulva australis regularly during use.
Application in Biotechnology
Ulva australis, as an edible seaweed, is very rich in minerals, vitamins, and noncaloric dietary fiber, and has many uses in medical and biotechnological fields. The decoction of U. australis can be used to treat several illness such as hyperlipidemia, sunstroke, and urinary diseases. Several biological activities such as anti-hyperlipidemic, antioxidant, antiviral, immunomodulatory, and anti-radiation activities were all observed from the algal sulfated polysaccharides they have. The organic extracts of Ulva australis also show different many other biological activities, such as radical scavenging activity (RSA) and metal chelating activity. Moreover, Ulva australis also shows inhibitory effects on the pathogenic factors of Alzheimer's disease, hyperpigmentation, Type-2 diabetes mellitus and skin sagging. This shows that Ulva australis as a common food source can be used to treat, prevent or alleviate a variety of diseases.
Application in abalone breeding
Research shows that Ulva australis can play a great role in abalone aquaculture: improve the survival rate of abalone, and reduce the cost of abalone farming. Abalone is widely known as an expensive seafood with large demand. However, the utilization rate of Undaria pinnatifida as its feed is not high in winter and it will lead to unbalanced nutrition, which not only reduces the survival rate of abalone, but also increases the cost of aquaculture. Therefore, some researchers use Ulva australis instead of Undaria pinnatifida as abalone feed to experiment, to observe whether Ulva australis can be used as an effective abalone feed. The results showed that when 60% Ulva australis and 40% Undaria pinnatifida were used to feed abalone, the survival rate and abundance of abalone reached the maximum. Moreover, even if abalone is completely fed with Ulva australis instead of Undaria pinnatifida, abalone will not be negatively affected.
Problems caused by Ulva australis and possible solutions
Green tide, a phenomenon of excessive green algae in a certain area, is mainly caused by Ulva spp. In Jeju Island and its coastal areas of South Korea, Ulva australis, a specie of Ulva spp., has caused serious ecological and marine pollution. Therefore, it is imminent to resolve the issue. Some researchers have carried out experiments with different control measures and found that the reproductive capacity of Ulva australis in low salinity water is inhibited. Moreover, lower pH value and temperature higher than 30 °C will also cause serious damage to Ulva australis. In addition, the researchers also pointed out that oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium percarbonate can cause the rapid death of Ulva australis, thus these chemicals can be used to control the green tide caused by Ulva australis.

USS Endicott (DD-495), was a of the United States Navy.
Namesake
Samuel Endicott served as a quarter gunner on board in the Barbary Wars. He volunteered to participate in the expedition under Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, Jr., which destroyed the former U.S. frigate .
Construction and commissioning
Endicott was launched by the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., Seattle, Washington, on 5 April 1942; sponsored by Miss Bettie L. Rankin. The ship was commissioned on 25 February 1943. She was reclassified DMS-35 on 30 May 1945.
History
Initial operations
The destroyer underwent shakedown off San Diego, was ordered to the U.S. Atlantic Fleet and in her first year escorted two convoys to Africa and one to Ireland, Panama, and Trinidad.
In preparation for the European invasion Endicott served as escort for merchantmen and transports until 24 May 1944 when she collided with the freighter SS Exhibitor and was forced to undergo repairs at Cardiff, South Wales.
European theater
Endicott rejoined the fleet on 12 July and escorted LSTs and LCIs into the Mediterranean for the buildup preparatory to the attack on southern France (Operation Dragoon). The destroyer, together with British gunboats , , and 17 motor torpedo boats, was scheduled to make a diversionary attack against the coast at La Ciotat. The feint successfully deceived the enemy and Endicott sank a German merchantman during the bombardment. She then hastened to rescue the British gunboats in their uneven match against two German warships, Nimet Allah and Capriola, and though battle weary she destroyed both. In the action she was hit by one shell; although a dud, it still tore a large hole in the ship and wounded a man. She continued to support coastal operations off southern France by escorting a convoy to Corsica, and to Salerno.
Endicott underwent overhaul and refresher training from October through the end of 1944. In January 1945 she sailed via Bermuda on the scouting line, then proceeded to rendezvous with Task Group 21.5 (TG 21.5) to escort the cruiser — on which President Franklin D. Roosevelt was embarked — to Malta and back to New York.
Pacific theater
She escorted a convoy to Oran in mid-April and then entered the Charleston Navy Yard for conversion to a high-speed minesweeper. Dispatched to the Pacific, she arrived in San Diego three days after the Japanese surrender.
Endicott reported to Task Force 52 at Okinawa on 23 September 1945 to begin the huge task of ridding the Yellow Sea of mines. Designated flagship of the sweeping group, she conducted similar operations in the Inland Sea and Kure area as well.
After a period of overhaul in May 1946, she operated out of San Diego in peacetime patrols and local exercises until the outbreak of the Korean War.
Korean War
In June 1950 she weighed anchor for the coast of Korea where she screened aircraft carriers and . Steaming to Chinhae Wan in August, she lent direct fire support to the United Nations troops and on 15 September escorted a Korean LST in a feint attack against Chang Sa Dong. When the LST broached, Endicott stood guard until help arrived.
She continued her harassment of the enemy following the Inchon landings, cruising along the east coast of Korea and supporting the minesweeping force. For the remainder of the year she afforded sweeping assistance at Wonsan and then at Hungnam prior to the evacuation of troops forced by the penetration of the Chinese Communists. She participated in the action of 12 October 1950, an engagement in which two American minesweepers were sunk.
In January 1951 she rescued the crew of the grounded Siamese frigate Prase and stood guard until the latter had to be destroyed. Early in February she led a mine-sweeping force in bombarding the port of Wonsan and sweeping to the northward.
An overhaul in San Diego was succeeded by Endicotts second tour in Korean waters. She reported to Commander Naval Forces in October and returned to shore bombardment and patrol. During the first half of 1952 she cruised on the Songjin Patrol and devoted the last four months of the year to overhaul at Long Beach Naval Shipyard. Early in 1953 she again sailed for the Far East to patrol and provide gun support for minesweepers operating in the Korean area. Endicott received repairs at Long Beach in August and thereafter conducted individual and fleet exercises in local waters. On 17 August 1954 she was decommissioned and placed in reserve at San Diego. Endicott was reclassified DD-495 on 15 July 1955.

Coverdale is a civil parish in Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada, located along the Petitcodiac River opposite Moncton and Dieppe.
For governance purposes, Coverdale is divided between the towns of Riverview and Salisbury, the village of Fundy Albert, and the Southeast rural district, all of which are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between Riverview and the local service district of the parish of Coverdale. Riverview had much the same boundaries.
Origin of name
The parish takes its name from Coverdale River, a former name of Little River, a tributary of the Petitcodiac.
The Coverdale River may have been named in honour of Myles Coverdale (1488-1569), translator of the Bible and Bishop of Exeter.
History
Coverdale Parish was erected in 1828 from northern Hillsborough Parish.
Boundaries
Coverdale Parish is bounded:
on the north and east by the Petitcodiac River;
on the south the southern line of a grant to Robert Crossman, about 120 metres south of the mouth of Stoney Creek, and its prolongation to the Westmorland County line;
on the west by Westmorland County.
Evolution of boundaries
When Coverdale Parish was erected the western line was a continuation of Hillsborough's western line, with modern Grub Road and Middlesex in Salisbury Parish and the parish line running east of Douthwright Road. The southern line ran west from the mouth of Stoney Creek, slightly north of where it starts today.
Following the erection of Albert County in 1845 the new county line passed through Salisbury and Harvey Parishes. This was found inconvenient and the county line was moved in 1846, adding western Coverdale to the parish.
The parish got its modern boundaries in 1850, when the line with Hillsborough Parish was moved slightly south to its current starting point.
Municipality
The town of Riverview is located opposite Moncton. It was created in 1973 as the town of Coverdale by the forced amalgamation of the villages of (from east to west) Bridgedale, Gunningsville, and Riverview Heights along with parts of Coverdale Parish. The first act of the town council was to change the name to Riverview.
Local service district
The local service district of the parish of Coverdale contains all of the parish outside Riverview; it was established on 23 November 1966 to assess for fire protection and community services & recreational facilities following the abolition of the county councils by the new Municipalities Act. First aid & ambulance services were added on 14 March 1973.
Today the LSD assesses for community & recreation services in addition to the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control. The taxing authority is 618.00 Coverdale.

SanDisk/Fusion-io's NVMFS file system, formerly known as Direct File System (DFS), accesses flash memory via a virtual flash storage layer instead of using the traditional block layer API. This file system has two main novel features. First, it lays out files directly in a very large virtual storage address space. Second, it leverages the virtual flash storage layer to perform block allocations and atomic updates. As a result, NVMFS performs better and is much simpler than a traditional Unix file system with similar functionalities. Additionally, this approach avoids the log-on-log performance issues triggered by log-structured file systems. Microbenchmark results show that NVMFS can deliver 94,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS) for direct reads and 71,000 IOPS for direct writes with the virtualized flash storage layer on top of a first-generation Fusion-io ioDrive. For direct access performance, NVMFS is consistently better than ext3 on the same platform, sometimes by 20%. For buffered access performance, NVMFS is also consistently better than ext3, and sometimes by over 149%. Application benchmarks show that NVMFS outperforms ext3 by 7% to 250% while requiring less CPU power. Additionally, I/O latency is lower with NVMFS compared to ext3.
Flash Memory API
The API used by NVMFS to access flash memory consists of:
An address space that is several orders of magnitude larger than the storage capacity of the flash memory.
Read, append and trim/deallocate/discard primitives.
Atomic writes.
The layer that provides this API is called the virtualized flash storage layer in the DFS paper. It is the responsibility of this layer to perform block allocation, wear leveling, garbage collection, crash recovery, address translation and also to make the address translation data structures persistent.

Maryina Roshcha District (, lit. "Mary's grove") is an administrative district (raion), one of the seventeen in North-Eastern Administrative Okrug of the federal city of Moscow, Russia. As of the 2010 Census, the total population of the district was 65,973.
The historical area of Maryina Roshcha, which emerged in the mid-19th century on the site of Sheremetev family lands, retained its low-rise, country style until the 1960s.
History
The village of Maryino (), also known as Boyarkino (), appears in official registers since 1678, when it had a population of 102 people in 22 households. Maryino and the adjacent village of Ostankino (located on the territory of modern Ostankinsky District) with a park were owned by the Cherkassky family. In the mid-18th century, the last Princess Cherkassky married Count P. B. Sheremetev and the land passed into Sheremetev family's possession. Sheremetevskaya Street—the main north–south street of the district—is still named after these past landlords. Around this time, a grove (roshcha) near the village of Maryino was called "Maryina", a name that "has stuck to this day, even though the grove was completely cut down in the late 19th century".
After the Great Fire of 1812, the groves between Moscow and Maryino were felled for timber, but quickly recovered and became a popular picnic destination. The name Maryina Roshcha became a toponym independent of the old Maryino village. Vasily Zhukovsky wrote a romantic story of the same name; his version of the etymology is pure fiction, as is the legend linking Maryina Roshcha to a female highway robber called Marya.
Between 1851 and 1882, railroad construction isolated Maryina Roshcha from Moscow (south) and Ostankino (north). In the 1880s, a French real estate developer signed a long-term lease with the Sheremetev family, cleared the trees, and leveled the area for cheap low-rise construction, creating the rectangular grid of streets and alleys that still exists today. However, they did not bother to set up water supply or a sewage system. The proximity of railroads quickly attracted industrialists like Gustav List, who built factories on the edges of Maryina Roshcha. Wooden houses were occupied by workers of these factories, including an ethnic minority of Mordvin laborers, who settled in the area in 1901. The existing orthodox church of Unexpected Joy was built by public subscription in 1899-1904 and operated continuously through the Soviet years.
Maryina Roshcha, located outside the Moscow city limits, was inadequately policed by the country administration. This attracted shady persons, and the area was considered a criminal ghetto, especially after World War I and Russian Civil War, when law-abiding men were drafted and perished in the army, and the Bolshevik administration expropriated all livestock from the residents. The area remained unsafe until the 1960s. The post-World War II Maryina Roshcha underworld was featured in The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed mini-series.
Joseph Stalin's master plan of 1935 proposed building a north–south highway through Maryina Roshcha, which would have led to demolition of the 19th-century housing. This plan did not materialize, and while wooden Maryina Roshcha was being gradually demolished, some wooden buildings survived until the 1960s. The remainder was cleared in the late 1970s in preparation for the 1980 Summer Olympics. The last remaining tram lines were closed in 2002, when the district's southern boundary was converted into the Third Ring highway.
Municipal status
As a municipal division, it is incorporated as Maryina roshcha Municipal Okrug.
Transportation
Moscow Metro had expanded the Lyublinskaya Line to Maryina Roshcha metro station on June 19, 2010. The district is also accessible via Savyolovskaya, Rizhskaya (south), and Alexeyevskaya (north) stations.
The Rizhsky railway station of the Moscow Railway is located in the district.
By 2022, the Maryina Roshcha station will be open as part of the Big Ring Metro Line.

Denise Affonço, born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is an author who wrote about her experience under the Khmer Rouge in To The End Of Hell, with an introduction by Jon Swain. She was born to a Vietnamese mother and French father and grew up before the Cambodian Civil War. After the Khmer Rouge took power, her husband was disappeared and her daughter died of starvation.
Originally written in French, the work has recently been published into English by Reportage Press and received a positive review from The Economist, which said "That the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, as the tribunal is known, is at last functional makes the publication in English of Denise Affonço's harrowing memoir a timely reminder of why its work still matters."

Labialization is a secondary articulatory feature of sounds in some languages. Labialized sounds involve the lips while the remainder of the oral cavity produces another sound. The term is normally restricted to consonants. When vowels involve the lips, they are called rounded.
The most common labialized consonants are labialized velars. Most other labialized sounds also have simultaneous velarization, and the process may then be more precisely called labio-velarization.
In phonology, labialization may also refer to a type of assimilation process.
Occurrence
Labialization is the most widespread secondary articulation in the world's languages. It is phonemically contrastive in Northwest Caucasian (e.g. Adyghe), Athabaskan, and Salishan language families, among others. This contrast is reconstructed also for Proto-Indo-European, the common ancestor of the Indo-European languages; and it survives in Latin and some Romance languages. It is also found in the Cushitic and Ethio-Semitic languages.
American English labializes to various degrees.
A few languages, including Arrernte and Mba, have contrastive labialized forms for almost all of their consonants.
Types
Out of 706 language inventories surveyed by , labialization occurred most often with velar (42%) and uvular (15%) segments and least often with dental and alveolar segments. With non-dorsal consonants, labialization may include velarization as well. Labialization is not restricted to lip-rounding. The following articulations have either been described as labialization or been found as allophonic realizations of prototypical labialization:
Labiodental frication, found in Abkhaz
Complete bilabial closure, , found in Abkhaz and Ubykh
"Labialization" (, , and ) without noticeable rounding (protrusion) of the lips, found in the Iroquoian languages. It may be that they are compressed.
Rounding without velarization, found in Shona and in the Bzyb dialect of Abkhaz.
Eastern Arrernte has labialization at all places and manners of articulation; this derives historically from adjacent rounded vowels, as is also the case of the Northwest Caucasian languages. Marshallese also has phonemic labialization as a secondary articulation at all places of articulation except for labial consonants and coronal obstruents.
In North America, languages from a number of families have sounds that sound labialized (and vowels that sound rounded) without the participation of the lips. See Tillamook language for an example.
Prelabialization
In Slovene, sounds can be prelabialized. Furthermore, the change is phonemic and all phonemes have prelabialized pairs (though not all of their allophones can have pairs). Compare 'stand' and 'stand up' . The prelabialization part, however, is usually not considered as being part of the same phoneme as prelabialized sound, but rather as an allophone of as it changes depending on the environment, e. g. 'take' and 'summarize' . See Slovene phonology for more details.
Transcription
In the International Phonetic Alphabet, labialization of velar consonants is indicated with a raised w modifier (Unicode U+02B7), as in . (Elsewhere this diacritic generally indicates simultaneous labialization and velarization.) There are also diacritics, respectively , to indicate greater or lesser degrees of rounding. These are normally used with vowels but may occur with consonants. For example, in the Athabaskan language Hupa, voiceless velar fricatives distinguish three degrees of labialization, transcribed either or .
The extensions to the IPA has two additional symbols for degrees of rounding: Spread and open-rounded (as in English). It also has a symbol for labiodentalized sounds, .
If precision is desired, the Abkhaz and Ubykh articulations may be transcribed with the appropriate fricative or trill raised as a diacritic: , , , .
For simple labialization, resurrected an old IPA symbol, , which would be placed above a letter with a descender such as . However, their chief example is Shona sv and zv, which they transcribe and but which actually seem to be whistled sibilants, without necessarily being labialized. Another possibility is to use the IPA diacritic for rounding, distinguishing for example the labialization in English soon and swoon. The open rounding of English is also unvelarized.
Assimilation
Labialization also refers to a specific type of assimilatory process where a given sound become labialized due to the influence of neighboring labial sounds. For example, may become in the environment of , or may become in the environment of or .
In the Northwest Caucasian languages as well as some Australian languages rounding has shifted from the vowels to the consonants, producing a wide range of labialized consonants and leaving in some cases only two phonemic vowels. This appears to have been the case in Ubykh and Eastern Arrernte, for example. The labial vowel sounds usually still remain, but only as allophones next to the now-labial consonant sounds.

The Portrait of Fra Antonio Martelli (c. 1607/1608) is a painting by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
Attribution
Until recently it was thought that this painting represented Alof de Wignacourt, Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of Malta, and that it was a preparatory study for the large and famous Portrait of Alof de Wignacourt and his Page, but recent documentary discoveries indicate that it is the portrait of another prominent member of the Order, Antonio Martelli of Florence, Prior of Messina.

Francisca de los Apóstoles or Francisca de Avila was a devout beata, a woman who sought to lead a life defined by pious devotion to God, a Catholic visionary and religious reformer who lived in Toledo, Spain, amid the Spanish Inquisition.
During her life Francisca experienced a series of intense spiritual visions that inspired her to work against poverty and combat inequity. She specifically targeted the hypocrisy and corruption of the Toledan church leadership through her reform efforts to establish a monastery and convent.
These efforts ultimately prompted formal denunciations of mysticism (specifically the practices of the alumbrados) and diabolical possession (endemoniado). She underwent a three-year trial before the Inquisitorial tribunals. When convicted, she was sentenced one hundred lashes and was expelled from Toledo, disappearing from written history.
Context
The Spanish Inquisition
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition was a system through which heretics, primarily conversos, who had converted to Catholicism from Islam or Judaism were observed, interrogated and often expelled.
As the threat of Protestant Reformation encroached Spain, new spiritual ideas that championed private, personal relationships with God gained prominence. The Inquisition evolved into a Counter Reformation mechanism that sought to keep all religious organizing within the confined of the well defined orders of the institution and executed invasive investigation of orthodoxy within the Spanish Catholic Church.
Toledo at the time
In 1570 Toledo was experiencing a steady economic downturn. Decades of crop failure had left Toledo's pósito unable to keep up with the rising demand of an ever-increasing population. Compounded by a sharp spike in taxes poverty gripped the area.
At this time the Toledan church was under the control the governor, Sancho Busto de Villegas, because its archbishop, Bartolomé Carranza, was arrested by the Inquisition Tribunal in 1559 on charges of heresy. A number of Francisca's letters reveal her despair over the suffering and injustices that the archbishop faced while being imprisoned and an underlying theme of her visions was a call for the release of archbishop Carranza.
The governor overseeing church ministries failed to provide adequate relief and or remedy to these mounting problems of poverty.
Early life
There is very little known about Francisca other than what is revealed in her Inquisition trial testimonies. She was born in the town of Novés, between 1539 and 1541. Her father was an artist named Cerbian de Avila and her mother, Juana Diaz, died very early in Francisca's life. Although unclear, given Francisca's circumstances and her modest background, her family may have been conversos. When her father moved to Madrid to pursue greater career opportunities she took residence with a noble woman named Francisca Samienrnero.
Religious background
When she was sixteen years old she was sent to Toledo to live at the church of Santa Maria la Blanca, with a community of beatas. She remained there until she was twenty-four years old when she left to live with a few of her sisters and affiliated herself with the Church of Santo Tome in Toledo.
One of her sisters, Isabel Bautista, became extremely sick in 1570. She was completely bedridden and endured a series of grueling exorcisms that lasted over five months. As a result of the exorcists, Isabel felt a strong urge to live a life that would better please God, by dressing modestly, recusing herself and devoting more time to prayer. As a result, Francisca became more devoted to the spiritual and began practicing prayer and penance with greater intent.
Visions
Over eleven months in 1574, Francisca experienced a number of spiritual visions. Through these visions she received talents and wisdom and came to understand what she believed her greater religious purpose was.
The Judgement
In January 1574 Francisca received her first vision at the Chapel of Nuestra Senora del Saragio. In this vision she saw Saint Peter deny the church officials of Toledo entry into the heavenly kingdom and Mary is seen interceding before Christ on their behalf. According to Apóstoles this reflects the dishonesty that existed within the church leadership in Toledo and the redemptive role that she is destined to play.
Torments by demons
A week later she had another rapture, in which Christ asks her to accept the torture of demons as penance for all the sins the world has committed against God. After six months of intense prayer and reflection, she accepts these torments. From June to October 1574 Francisca endured torture from demons. Francisca testifies that through the torture she was able to fully comprehend how to combat temptation and sin. She testifies that the torments ended when she vowed to commit her life to upholding virtue, and that she knew that she defeated the demons because of the relief and serene inner peace she felt after making those vows.
The Justice of God
In December 1574 Francisca became very ill. During the course of her illness she experienced dejamiento, a spiritual experience where one is transported outside of themselves during prayer. In this out of body experience she felt God's wrath, and saw Christ suffer on the cross. Her vision was witnessed by family and friends and is said to have lasted over three hours, and it took her three days to recover. From this vision Francisca testified that she came to fear the justice and condemnatory power of God.
The Life of Christ
Less than a week later Francisca once again had a powerful vision. In this one she came to realize her greater purpose and realized the parallels between Christ's life and virtues and her own. She vowed to embody those virtues and take on the same redemptive role as Christ by becoming an intercessor. She considered this a sign from God to establish a religious community that would protect women that were more susceptible to the poverty and misery that was rampant in Toledo at the time. Through her monastic reforms, she hoped that the Church would be redeemed.
Religious reforms
Francisca's reforms were directly inspired by her visions and she believed that she presented a divinely ordained solution to a social, moral and economic problem that her government and church were both apathetic toward and failed to address. The reforms were also pointed criticism of the Toledan church. Toledo was the richest archdiocese in Spain, and while Church officials were wealthy and lived comfortably, the majority of the laity lived in squalor.
Francisca's main goal was to alleviate poverty and she would often plead to God to help the poor. She saw the great need there was in Toledo and at one point even gave her home to a poor woman who had no shelter. Poor unmarried women with few options, without a connection to a religious community or organization that offered them financial support or vocational training, often resorted to prostitution to make a living. Francisca's religious reforms sought to establish a beaterio, a house for beatas, to provide a space for women to live without fear of losing their virtue and also allow them to pursue more pious lives and seek forgiveness for their sins through worship.
Public scandal prevented Francisca from obtaining approval from the governor of Toledo for establishing her convent or monastery. The source or nature of the scandal is lost but is clear that the city was divided in its support for Carranza and for the provisional leadership of the church. Additionally, there were prevailing doubts about the authenticity of Apóstoles' visions and concerns about her personal charm. Despite several attempts to legitimize the reform plans through the administrative system of the Toledo archdiocese she was unable to secure either civil permission or substantial economic support for her plans.
Despite these obstacles she managed to garner support and wielded a great deal of influence. She enjoyed a public reputation as a pious and wise woman. Most notably, a Franciscan friar named Juan Bautista fiercely supported and defended Francisca's desire to establish the convent and monastery. He was moved by both Francisca's and Isabel's piety and believed it was just a matter of time before their plans would be approved. In the meantime he encouraged individuals to join the community. Their endeavors attracted public attention that would lead to the arrest of Francisca and her subsequent Inquisition trial.
The Inquisition of Francisca de los Apóstoles
Accusations
On November 19, 1574, the initial accusations against Francisca were alleged by Luisa de Aguilera who was a financial supporter of the convent and Catalina de Jesus one of the beatas within the convent. The testimonies of these women consisted of accusing Francisca of being prideful and an endemoniado.
Due to a number of high-priority cases that were ongoing at the time, the allegations against Francisca were not taken seriously at first. The tribunal did not decide to move forward until Sebastián Hernández, a credible and trusted Jesuit, gave a testimony about the nature and source of Francisca's reforms, and after conducting the calificaciones, a thorough theological investigation with twenty-four witnesses. Francisca was characterized as a heretic, blasphemer, and perjurer. Overall, the reports described her as arrogant and self-righteous and her visions as clear examples of alumbrados, the phenomenon in which God speaks directly to someone in prayer, and heretical mysticism.
Arrest and trial
On September 28, 1575, Francisca was arrested and imprisoned. On October 5, 1575, she appeared before the inquisitor Juan de Llano de Valdéz. The inquisitor spent a great deal of time discussing the nature, content, matter and duration of her visionary experiences. The Inquisition viewed Fransica's revelations and visions as problematic. Her claims regarding her redemptive role were suspicious and contradicted clerical authority. According to the tribunal her justifications for her reforms had no rational basis and were lacking because there was no definitive proof that Francisca could distinguish divine communication from demonic communication.
On January 5, 1576, June de Llano de Valdez formally charged Francisca of falsifying alumbrados and heretical mysticism. It was the belief of the Inquisition that a revelation gained in private mental prayer is inherently false and could be used to deceive others.
Francisca justified her reforms on the basis of "divine edict". She said her visions occurred after having taken communion and were accompanied by a form of sweet rapture that left her soul in a peaceful state. Francisca was unable to provide definite proof that her visions were authentic and divine: subjective accounts of her spiritual revelations and her reasoning for her reforms were unacceptable.
Conviction and sentencing
On April 14, 1578, after three years on trial, Francisca was convicted of falsifying alumbrados and heretical mysticism, sentenced to one hundred lashes, and banished from Toledo for three years. She disappears from written history following her trial so there is no saying if she ever returned.

Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (born 1967) is an American-Ugandan stage and film actor, playwright, photographer and documentarian. He was credited by as Ntare Mwine until 2008, and by his full name thereafter.
Background
Mwine was born in Hanover, New Hampshire to Ugandan parents in 1967. His father was a Harvard Law School-educated attorney. His parents separated when Ntare was 7, with Ntare spending time with his father (who was then working in finance in the United States, including a period at the World Bank in Washington D.C.) and his mother (who went to Kenya to teach psychology at the University of Nairobi).
Mwine earned a master's degree in Fine Arts from New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 1992. He also studied at the University of Virginia, the Moscow Arts Theatre, and the Royal National Theatre in London. Basing himself in Los Angeles, Mwine's first professional job was the role of Paul in the 1992 U.S. National Tour of Six Degrees of Separation, for which he received an NAACP Image Award nomination for Best Actor.
Mwine has also expressed his views on sticky subjects including LGBTQ , HIV/AIDS explaining: "I’m an artist. [I] have to tell stories".
Television and film
Mwine has appeared in movies including Blood Diamond, where he made his film debut. His first appearance in television was in New York Undercover in 1995. Recent appearances include a recurring role as the mysterious Usutu in Heroes. Mwine originally had the role of Joseph in the unaired pilot episode of the show; this part was removed when NBC took on the show full-time, due to the character's plot revolving around terrorist activity. Mwine also appeared as Tom Adler in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and as Maurice Devereaux in The Riches.
Mwine played a minor, yet recurring, character in HBO and David Simon's television series Treme. The series deals with life in the Tremé district of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In 2018, Mwine featured as Ronnie in the Showtime television series The Chi, which follows residents of the Chicago South Side.
On April 5, 2021, Mwine joined the cast of the Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer with Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller. Mwine stars as Detective Raymond Griggs, a character created specifically for the series based on the novel The Brass Verdict.
Photography
Mwine's photographic work has been displayed at the United Nations, The Latino Art Museum in Pomona, California, UCLA's Fowler Museum of Cultural History, and other museums worldwide. It was a central focus of Biro, and prominently featured on Six Feet Under. His photography has also appeared in Vanity Fair.
Stage
Mwine began appearing in stage productions in 1992, appearing as the con man posing as Sidney Poitier's son in Six Degrees of Separation, and in The Riddles Of Race, Circa '68 in 1994, In 1992 and 1997, Mwine was nominated for a Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Non-Resident Production, for his role in Six Degrees of Separation at the National Theatre and Nomathemba at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. He played Julius Van George in Scent of the Roses at the Seattle Contemporary Theatre in 1998.
Mwine's first effort as a playwright, a barestage one-man show entitled Biro, about a HIV-positive Ugandan former rebel soldier who enters the United States illegally for treatment. The play, depicting a 90-minute explanation from the eponymous character to his lawyer about how he came to be in a Texas jail, premiered in early 2003 at Uganda's National Theatre. It later showed at the Joseph Papp Public Theater in New York, as well as in Los Angeles, Seattle, London, and throughout Africa. Mwine performed the work for multiple African heads of state and then-UN General Secretary Kofi Annan in 2004. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer described his performance as "radiant", particularly so given the dark subject matter.
Documentary work
Basing on the article by Bryan Morel Publications at (https://www.bryanmorel.com/),
Mwine's inaugural documentary, Beware of Time was screened at the 2004 Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles and the Black International Cinema in Berlin. Describing the lives of HIV-positive Ugandans, it was named the Best Film on Matters Relating to Marginalized People, and features a rare interview with Amule Amin, brother of former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.

Carmel: Who Killed María Marta? is a 2020 Argentine true crime documentary miniseries directed by Alejandro Hartmann.
It was written by Alejandro Hartmann, Sofía Mora (who was in charge of the investigation), Lucas Bucci and Tomás Sposato. The showrunner and producer was Vanessa Ragone.
The miniseries tells the story of the 2002 still-unsolved death of María Marta García Belsunce and the controversial criminal case that followed, known as the , which received major national media coverage in Argentina. Each one of the four episodes focuses on an aspect of the investigation, exploring different investigation lines and suspects, including interviews with journalists who covered the crime, the prosecutor of the criminal case, family members and friends.
The series was filmed at the Carmel Country Club, the gated community in Pilar, Buenos Aires, where the crime took place, as well as Bariloche and Buenos Aires. It premiered worldwide on Netflix on November 5, 2020.
Subject matter
María Marta García Belsunce (born April 24, 1952) was an upper-class Argentine sociologist, daughter of Adolfo García Belsunce (a well-known jurist) and Luz María Blanca Luisa Galup. She devoted her last days to social causes, working with NGOs such as Red Social and becoming the vice-president for Missing Children Argentina.
On October 27, 2002, María Marta García Belsunce was found dead in her house, part of the Carmel Country Club, an upper-class gated community in Pilar, Buenos Aires. This led to what was known as the García Belsunce Case. During the first days of the investigation, it was believed to be an accidental death caused by a fall in the bathtub. But a month and a half later, as new forensic reports were ordered, it was found that María Marta had been killed by five shots to the head.
Some of the lines of investigation included a link with the Juárez Cartel, a failed robbery, and a fight García Belsunce had with her husband.
Her widower, Carlos Carrascosa, was prosecuted and jailed for five years on homicide charges. The victim's brother, Horacio García Belsunce, and her half-brother, John Hurtig, were also prosecuted on cover-up charges, but were later acquitted. Overall, two trials were held, with thirteen people prosecuted. A new trial will be held to prosecute Nicolás Pachelo, the victim's neighbor.
Persons featured
The series chronicles the case mainly through interviews with Rolando Barbano and Pablo Duggan, journalists who covered the case. These are supported by interviews with family members and friends involved in the case who give their perspectives on it, as well as the case prosecutor Diego Molina Pico. The miniseries also feature writers Guillermo Martínez and Claudia Piñeiro, who analyze the social impact of the case.
