The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) is an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization that focuses on preserving, improving, and creating backcountry airstrips for general aviation use. The RAF works with many national and state government organizations to identify new areas for airstrips and then assists with their funding. The RAF also educates members of government and the general public about the importance of backcountry airstrips and the need to keep them for future generations. The Recreational Aviation Foundation maintains liaisons and ambassadors in most U.S. states to help lead projects at the local level.
Achievements
The RAF was instrumental in the passing of H.Rer. 1473 in 2010 that "placed value of recreational aviation and backcountry airstrips" for the public to use and on public land.
The RAF worked with the Bureau of Land Management along with countless volunteer hours to help preserve Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument airstrips.
In conjunction with the United States Forest Service, the RAF worked from 2003 to 2010 to open a new airstrip: the Russian Flat Airstrip , earning the Flying (magazine) Editors' Choice Awards for industry innovation in 2011.
RAF volunteers continue to maintain Chicken Strip in Death Valley National Park, having repaired the airstrip in both 2011 and 2016.
In 2020, RAF funding assisted in the acquisition of Goodspeed Airport in eastern Connecticut by a consortium of area pilots, intending to revitalize the airport and bring a greater aviation community to the airport and seaplane base.

New Town is a district of Luton, just south east of the town centre, in Bedfordshire, England. It is roughly bounded by Castle Street and London Road to the west, Seymour Road to the East, New Town Street to the North, and Cutenhoe Road to the south.
Local area
Castle Street was the site of a medieval castle. The district has characteristic pubs and has traditionally been a working class area of the town. To alleviate the housing shortage of the 1960s several multi-story flats were built and an industrial park was added in the 1980s to attract new industries. The ring road, which passes nearby, was created at the same time to ease traffic congestion from the M1 motorway to the ever expanding Luton Airport.
Politics
New Town is part of South ward, which is represented by Cllr David Agbley (Labour), Cllr Fatima Begum (Labour) and Cllr Javeria Hussain (Labour).
The ward forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Luton South and the MP is Rachel Hopkins (Labour).
Local newspapers
Two weekly newspapers cover New Town, although they are not specific to the area.

Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, also Province of Santa Cruz (), is a province of Spain, consisting of the western part of the autonomous community of the Canary Islands. It consists of about half of the Atlantic archipelago: the islands of Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Palma. It occupies an area of . It also includes a series of adjacent roques (those of Salmor, Fasnia, Bonanza, Garachico and Anaga).
Its capital is the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (commonly known as Santa Cruz), on the island of Tenerife (Spain's most populous island). In 2008 the province had 1,018,510 inhabitants and a density of 313.57 /km2, making it the province of Spain with the sixth highest population density, higher than that of the province of Las Palmas (the eastern half of the Canary Islands). 24% live in the capital.

The International Polkafest is an annual music festival devoted to polka. The festival draws about a dozen bands and was held for a time and until 2008 at the Ironworld Discovery Center in Chisholm, Minnesota. The first Polkafest was held in Pine City, Minnesota in 1978 at the Pine County Fairgrounds and it was held there most often throughout the years until it outgrew the space. The event was the brainchild of Florian Chmielewski, and attracts thousands of people each year.
An International Polkafest was held in Kitzbühel, Austria in 1978.

Savari de Mauléon (also Savaury) () (died 1236) was a French soldier, the son of Raoul de Mauléon, Viscount of Thouars and Lord of Mauléon.
Having espoused the cause of Arthur I, Duke of Brittany, he was captured at Mirebeau (1202), and imprisoned in Corfe Castle although he is reputed to have escaped by making his jailers drunk and overpowering them. John, King of England, set him at liberty in 1204, gained him to his side and named him Seneschal of Poitou (1205).
In 1211, Savari de Mauléon assisted Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, and with him besieged Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester in Castelnaudary. Philip II of France bought his services in 1212 and gave him command of a fleet which was destroyed in the Flemish port of Damme. Then Mauléon returned to King John, whom he aided in the First Barons' War (1215–1217).
He was one of those whom John designated on his deathbed for a council of regency to govern the Kingdom of England in the name of new king Henry III (1216).
In the late Autumn of 1218, Savari probably helped Alfonso IX of León in his ill-fated attempt to capture the Almohad controlled city of Cáceres, Spain.
Savari then went to Egypt (1219), and was present at the taking of Damietta. Upon returning to Poitou, he became a seneschal for Henry III for the second time. He defended Saintonge against Louis VIII in 1224, but was accused of having given La Rochelle up to the king of France, and the suspicions of the English again threw him back upon the French. Louis VIII then turned over to him the defence of La Rochelle and the coast of Saintonge.
In 1227, Savari took part in the rising of the barons of Poitiers and Anjou against the young Louis IX. He enjoyed a certain reputation for his poems in the Langue d'oc.

Tirupati Laddu or SriVari Laddu is the laddu sweet offered as Naivedhyam to Venkateswara at Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati, Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The laddu is given as prasadam to devotees after having the darshan in the temple. The laddu prasadam is prepared within the temple kitchen known as 'Potu' by the temple board Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. Tirupati Laddu received Geographical indication tag which entitles that only Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams can make and sell it.
History
The practice of offering laddu to Venkateswara at Tirumala Venkateswara Temple started on 2 August 1715.
Geographical indication tag
To prevent black marketing of Tirupati Laddus, in 2008, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams registered for a geographical indication tag. In 2009, it obtained patent rights to Tirupati Laddus under the category foodstuff under the GI Act 1999. This has prevented others from preparing or naming the sweet with same name. In 2017, as part of their cuisine series, the India Post unveiled a postal stamp that commemorated the Tirupati Laddu.
Laddu Potu
Laddu Potu is the kitchen where Tirupati Laddus are prepared. It lies inside the Sampangi pradakshinam of the temple. The Potu is equipped with three conveyor belts used for carrying ingredients into the potu and finished Laddus to the selling counters from Potu. Out of three conveyor belts the first one installed during 2007 can transfer only laddus and the second installed in the year 2010 can transfer both laddus and boondi. The third conveyor belt was installed in 2014 as a backup for the two conveyor belts should they malfunction. In olden days only fire wood was used to cook laddus, which was replaced by LPG in the year 1984.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams prepare an average of 2.8 lakh laddus a day in Laddu potu. At present, the potu has a capacity to make 800,000 a day.
Dittam
Dittam is the list of ingredients and its proportions used in making of Tirupati Laddu. To meet the increasing demand for laddus, changes were made to Dittam six times in its history. At present the ingredients include Gram flour, cashew nuts, cardamom, ghee, sugar, sugar candy and raisins. Per day it uses about 10 tonnes of Gram flour, 10 tonnes of sugar, 700 kg of cashew nuts, 150 kg of cardamom, 300 to 500 litres of ghee, 500 kg of sugar candy and 540 kg of raisins used to prepare laddu. TTD procures all these based on tenders on yearly basis.
Potu karmikulu
Around 620 cooks work in the laddu potu to make laddus. These workers are referred to as potu karmikulu. Around 150 potu workers are regular employees, while more than 350 work on a contract basis. 247 are chefs.
Tirupati Laddu variations
Proktham Laddu
This laddu is regularly distributed to all the common pilgrims visiting the temple. It is small in size and weighs 175 grams. These laddus are prepared in large numbers.
Asthanam Laddu
This laddu is prepared only on special festive occasions. It is large in size and weighs 750 grams. It is prepared with more cashews, almonds and saffron strands.
Kalyanotsavam Laddu
This laddu is distributed to devotees who participate in Kalyanotsavam and in a few of Arjitha sevas. There is huge demand for these laddus. These are prepared in very few numbers when compared to the Proktham Laddu. Shelf Life of the laddu is about to 15 days with the advanced packaging system implemented by TTD.

Orlestone is a mid-sized civil parish in Ashford District, Kent, England, with a population of 1,407. The centre of the parish is Hamstreet village which falls almost entirely within it but has a small fraction in the parish of Warehorne. The civil parish here reflects the very longstanding dominance of Orlestreet as its ecclesiastical parish boundary and provides a third alternative to most residents of Hamstreet to their village name, other than 'Ham Street'. Hamstreet is bypassed by the A2070 road, six miles south of Ashford.
Description
Most of the population live in a cross-civil parish settlement at the middle and edge of Orlestone, which is Hamstreet.
Orlestone itself is a small hamlet with a typical short street number of houses and the medieval parish church of St Mary the Virgin, parts of which date to the 11th century. Much of the population moved to Hamstreet (originally known as Ham) when the Ashford to Hastings railway opened in 1853; there was also a better source of water at the newer place.
Eponymous places in the civil parish are Orlestone Forest, and buildings such as Orlestone Grange and Orlestone Riding Centre (near Shadoxhurst). Also a neighbourhood of Hamstreet built in 2006 has been named Orlestone View.
As with Warehorne the north of the area is forested.
Transport
Ham Street railway station is central to Hamstreet and is also in approximately the midpoint of this parish.
Hamstreet is also served by the 11/11A/11B bus, which is operated by Stagecoach and runs from Ashford to Lydd and New Romney.

Twists
Main and Glass House
Like the previous season, the Main House had a smaller house, the Glass House. Located on the backyard, it's a small place where a few housemates will have to live on it and can't leave it exempt on special occasions like eviction shows or nominations. The housemates on the Glass House have a full status like the ones in the Main House and can nominate, they will only have to live there.
On Day 1, Érica, Esteves and Lia were challenged by "A Voz" to give "Agora" and "Nunca" to the pair of housemates. Because of that, they went to the Glass House.
On Day 4, "A Voz" gives the opportunity to Érica, Esteves and Lia to choose three housemates to go to the Glass House. The housemates who went to the Glass House were Cristiana, Rui and Sofia.
On Day 8, houseguest Helena (winner of last season) was given the power to send 3 males to the Glass House. She chose Esteves, Filipe and Rui. As Esteves was later ejected, he had to choose a substitute for him in the Glass House. He chose Carlos.
On Day 9, houseguest Bernardina (housemate of Secret Story 4), before she left, was given the power to send 3 housemates to the Glass House. She chose Érica, Filipe and Sofia.
On Day 10, Érica won a competition against Filipe and Sofia. "A Voz" gave her the opportunity to leave the Glass House or take someone out of the Glass House. She chose to take Filipe out.
On Day 15, various houseguests decided which housemates would go to the Glass House. Marco (housemate of Secret Story 2) chose Filipe, Tierry (housemate of Secret Story 4) chose Andreia. As Andreia was later ejected, Diogo (housemate of Secret Story 6) and Pedro (housemate of Secret Story 5) had to each chose one housemate and they chose Gonçalo and Lia respectively.
Leader of the House
Adapted from last season's Housemate of the Week, the now called Leader of the House has similar tasks from its previous role: an election normally done on Mondays was implemented in which the housemate elected wins a prominent position in the game that week: the housemate gets to wear a special golden microphone, has several rewards in the House, usually serves as the leader of housework and others related and gets to break the ties at the nominations if they appear, although only if the Leader of the House is not involved in that tie. Throughout the weeks the method of election changes, but the most common ones are a vote between the housemates and elections through tasks done by "A Voz".
Final Prize
Similar to the twist of A Quinta: O Desafio, the final prize for the winner was initially €10,000. However, if housemates disregard the rules, a certain amount will be removed from the final prize, or else, go up if the housemates win tasks.

Gosari inscription or Butulan inscription is an inscription dated 1298 saka (1376 CE) located in the Butulan cave, limestone mountain region in Gosari village, Ujungpangkah, Gresik, East Java. Unlike other ancient inscription that usually carved on a large monolith stone, this inscriptions was carved on the cave wall.
The villagers from surrounding area were already aware of the existence of the inscription for quite a long time, however it was formally reported to local authority in 2004. Since 2005 further study was conducted and concluded that the inscription was connected to the Majapahit kingdom and written during the reign of king Hayam Wuruk. Also concluded that the inscription was written about a (knight) named Sang Rama Samadya that inhabit the cave because he was being exiled. Historian suggested that Sang Rama Samadya probably was once an important (knight), a palace courtier or an official in the Majapahit court that was defeated in court politics and lost the favour of the king. As the result he must endured an exile in this cave, and performed semadi (meditation) probably to pursue spiritual or martial art mastery.
Content
Gosari inscription has been translated by Luthfi from Gadjah Mada University with archaeology team from Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2005.

The Mühldorf–Freilassing railway is a major railway in Bavaria. The line, which is operated by the Südostbayernbahn (SOB) (part of Deutsche Bahn), runs from Mühldorf to Freilassing in the German state of Bavaria.
History
The rail link between Mühldorf and Freilassing was opened on 1 December 1908 as one of the last sections opened by Royal Bavarian State Railways. The line, which was conceived as an approach line to the Tauern Railway and was designated therefore as the "Bavarian Tauern Railway" (bayerische Tauernbahn), was created by linking and upgrading existing local line segments:
Mühldorf–Tüßling, part of the Mühldorf–Burghausen railway opened on 10 August 1897
Freilassing-Wiesmühl, part of the Freilassing–Tittmoning branch line, opened on 14 June 1890 (Freilassing–Laufen) and 1 May 1894 (Laufen–Tittmoning).
Two options were available: a route from Burgkirchen (on the Mühldorf–Burghausen line) to Wiesmühl (on the existing line to Tittmoning) and, on the other hand, the Tüßling–Garching–Wiesmühl route. The latter, which was implemented, also had, apart from providing a railway connecting Kirchweidach and Garching, the advantage that the former branch line from Traunstein to Trostberg could be connected with the new line in Garching.
In Tüßling a change in the route of the line to Burghausen was made because it was originally planned to build the junction with the branch of the Tauern Railway in Ehring. Tüßling would then have a station on each line, which would have made transfers much more difficult. Therefore, the stations at Tüßling and Heiligenstatt were moved, a new section was built from the new Tüßling station to the line to Burghausen and the old section was abandoned.
The route was taken over by the Bavarian Group Administration (Gruppenverwaltung Bayern) of Deutsche Reichsbahn on 24 April 1920 and it is now operated by Deutsche Bahn.
While the national significance of the line was always relatively small despite some long-distance services in the first half of the 20th century, it is still of major significance for local connections. Several smaller intermediate stations were abandoned in the second half of the 20th century. Kirchweidach station, which was abandoned on 29 May 1988, was reopened on 2 June 1996.
Passenger services closed on 27 September 1969 on the Tittmoning-Wiesmühl–Tittmoning section of the original Freilassing–Tittmoning line, which since 1908 had operated as a branch line. Freight were abandoned on the branch on 31 July 1981.
The first completed project on the current upgrade of the Mühldorf–Salzburg line was a 160-metre-long concrete bridge over the Inn just south of Mühldorf, which was opened in late September 2011.
Operations
Since 2003, almost all passenger trains running from Mühldorf continue via Freilassing to Salzburg. Moreover, since 2005, almost all of these trains continue over the Neumarkt-Sankt Veit – Landshut railway to Landshut. Services operate at two-hour intervals each day on the whole line; from Monday to Friday additional services running between Mühldorf and Trostberg mean that there are hourly services between Mühldorf and Garching.
In freight transport, on weekdays a pair of local trains operates on the Mühldorf–Freilassing–Traunstein route as block trains to and from firms in the "Bavarian Chemical Triangle" (Bayerisches Chemiedreieck) in Gendorf and Burghausen. Freight trains also operate between Mühldorf and Garching, serving customers in Garching and on the Traunstein–Garching railway.
On the Mühldorf–Tüßling section of the "Bavarian Tauern Railway" there are also numerous passenger and freight trains serving the Mühldorf–Burghausen line.
Development planning
It has been decided to electrify the Mühldorf–Salzburg line and to duplicate the Kirchweidach–Tittmoning-Wiesmühl section. In addition, the electrification of the Tüßling-Burghausen section is also proposed. The line speed will be upgraded to 160 km/h as far as possible using the existing line. The financing of the construction work, which was initially to be completed by 2012, has not been fully accounted for according to Deutsche Bahn. Funding is now secured for duplication of the Mühldorf–Tüßling section, including electrification, and the federal transport minister Peter Ramsauer indicated in September 2011 that it would be commissioned in 2016. The corresponding financial agreement for €127.6 million was signed on 14 February 2013 by DB Netz AG and the Federal Ministry of Transport. After the two phases of the planning approval process are completed during 2013, the duplication is expected to be completed in 2017. In addition, a funding agreement has been reached to provide €50 million for the upgrading of the Rosenheim–Salzburg railway from Freilassing to the Austrian border to three tracks.
The planned upgrade would also bring considerable relief on the Munich–Rosenheim route and therefore would make available additional capacity for freight traffic on the Brenner Railway.

The Texel Group (German: Texelgruppe; Italian: Gruppo Tessa, Gruppo di Tessa or Giogaia di Tessa) is a group of mountains of the Ötztal Alps in the Eastern Rhaetian Alps. It is located in South Tyrol in Italy.
The mountain range is part of the Texelgruppe Nature Park and is crossed by the Meraner Höhenweg (Italian: Alta via meranese), a high level footpath.
Location
The Texel Group is located south of the border between the Austrian Tyrol and South Tyrol, where above the mountain hut Stettiner Hütte, at the Eisjöchl, the Schnalskamm joins the Ötztal Alps.
Boundaries
The group is bounded to the south by the Vinschgau with the Adige valley, to the east by the Passeier Valley, and to the west by the Schnalstal. The northern boundary that separates the group from the Schnalskamm is the Pfossental west of the Eisjöchl. To the north-west the Pfelderer Tal separates the Texel Group from the Gurglkam.
Mountains
The highest peak of the group is the Roteck 3337 m (10,948 ft): other important peaks are the Texelspitze, 3318 m, the Hohe Weiße, 3281 m, the Trübwand, 3264 m, the Tschigat, 3000 m, or Spronser Rötelspitze, 2625 m. The mountain range is located entirely within the Texelgruppe Nature Park.

Climate
Given the altitude, the climate of this mountain system is very cold, typical of high mountains. Windstorms are frequent, and in winter often accompanied by temperatures several degrees below zero and heavy snowfalls that can reduce visibility to zero. In summer there are frequent violent thunderstorms, also with hail. Changes in weather are frequent and unpredictable and this can make excursions somewhat dangerous.

Sir Gilbert Denys (c. 1350–1422) of Siston, Gloucestershire, was a soldier, and later an administrator. He was knighted by January 1385, and was twice knight of the shire for Gloucestershire constituency, in 1390 and 1395 and served as Sheriff of Gloucestershire 1393-4. He founded the family which provided more Sheriffs of Gloucestershire than any other.
Early life
Gilbert Denys was probably born in about 1350 in Glamorgan, South Wales, probably the son of John Denys of Waterton, in the lordship of Coity. The latter is referred to as Johan Denys de Watirton in a charter of 1379 being leased land by Margam Abbey at Bonvilston during the wardship of John Norreis, son and heir of John Norreis of Lachecastel. In 1415 Sir Gilbert Denys is recorded as renting land in Waterton from the late Lord of Coity, Sir Roger Berkerolles. The Denys family are recorded in ancient Glamorgan charters, the earliest mention being in 1258, when Willelmo le Denys witnessed a charter effecting an exchange by Gilbert de Turberville, Lord of Coity, of lands in Newcastle, Glamorgan, with Margam Abbey. The Glamorgan antiquarian Clark (d.1898), supported by the Denys pedigree in the "Golden Grove Book"
believed this William Denys to have originated in Gloucestershire and to have married a Turberville.
First marriage to Margaret Corbet
In about 1379 Denys obtained the hand in marriage of a Gloucestershire heiress, Margaret Corbet, and became thereby a man of wealth and influence. Margaret had been born a triplet in about 1352, and both her brothers had died young in succession, leaving her the sole heir of the large Corbet landholdings in Gloucestershire and elsewhere. John the eldest had died in 1370 and William in 1377. Their father William, husband of Emma Oddingseles, had died while his children were young, predeceasing his own father, Sir Peter Corbet(d.1362). The manors held by Sir Peter Corbet on his death in 1362, which descended to his grandchildren in succession, John, William and Margaret were as follows: Hope-juxta-Caus, Shropshire, a remnant manor from the great Corbet honour, or virtually autonomous lordship established under William I at Caus Castle. Lawrenny in Pembrokeshire, (held from the Carew family) remnant of the family's large Welsh holdings, most of which had been earlier settled on Corbet male lines. The Corbet lands in Gloucestershire were as follows: Siston, held from the Bishops of Bath and Wells, and Alveston and Earthcott Green, both held in chief from the King. The possession of these tenancies-in-chief meant that should they ever descend into the hands of a female heiress, the King could repossess them and install his own favoured tenant who would thenceforth owe royal knight service and would be obliged to become a local administrator of the royal government. Margaret had been married off to a Pembrokeshire man, William Wyriott of Orielton, probably with the intention of consolidating Lawrenny with the Wyriott lands. Yet in 1379, only two years after her brother William's death aged 25, her husband William Wyriott died also, leaving Margaret as a female tenant-in-chief, a very precarious position for her. She could only remarry by royal licence, effectively giving the King the right of veto over her free choice or she could relinquish her family manors to live with a husband of her choice, probably in relative poverty and social obscurity. Within a short time after Wyriott's death, Margaret had accepted Gilbert Denys as her husband. The two were contemporaries, and the marriage proved on a personal level to be successful, as Denys asked in his will to be buried next to Margaret. The marriage, like most of the period, is unlikely to have been the result of a romance but rather arranged by some powerful figure at Court who wished to see Denys rise in the world. Insufficient evidence exists to identify who this patron of Denys might have been, but pure speculation might suggest John of Gaunt.
Early career
Denys's career had begun in the service of John of Gaunt, son of King Edward III, who as Duke of Lancaster was Lord of Ogmore Castle, 3 miles SW of Waterton. Although certainly an insignificant property within his vast holdings, Denys may have made a mark for himself serving at Ogmore and come to the Duke's notice. In May 1375, on behalf of the Duke, Denys had taken formal custody of the manors of Aberavon and Sully in Glamorgan, part of the holdings of the late Edward le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer, Lord of Glamorgan. In 1378 he took out letters of protection to join Gaunt's foreign expedition, no doubt in the expectation of sharing in its profits. In 1382 Denys's subsequent letters of protection were revoked 2 months after issue when Sir John Devereux, Captain of Calais, testified that he had still not crossed the Channel. His absence may have been due to a pregnancy of his wife. In 1384 he enlisted in the army about to sail for Portugal in the company of the Portuguese Chancellor, Fernand, Master of the Order of St. James of the Sword. Denys served on his first Royal Commission at home in 1389, as Sheriff for Gloucestershire in 1393/4, and twice served as Knight of the Shire in 1390 and 1395. In 1401 he was one of 5 men from Gloucestershire summoned to attend a great council in August 1401.
Escapes murder plot
An indictment heard before the Court of Kings Bench in 1387 accused 3 persons of holding conventicles at Earlswood in the lordship of Lydney in order to plot the killing of Sir Gilbert Denys and John Poleyn. The 3 accused were Ralph Greyndour the younger, John Magot and John Chaunterell. Greyndour was an example of the curious mediaeval phenomenon of the gentleman bandit. The Greyndour clan dominated the sparsely populated and wild area of the Forest of Dean in western Gloucestershire bordering on the Welsh Marches. Ralph's kinsman was John Greyndour, lord of Mitcheldean, Littledean and Abenhall, all within the Forest of Dean. These 3 were also accused of plotting to kill Henry Warner, Nicholas More and Thomas de Berkeley of Berkeley when the latter came hunting in the forest with the king's licence. All 3 were acquitted of the charges.
Holds Farm of Pucklechurch
The manor of Pucklechurch lies to the immediate north-east of Siston, and was held by the Bishop of Bath & Wells since 1275, when he had received it from Glastonbury Abbey. To save themselves the administrative burden of collecting all the rents within the manor, they farmed the manor to Gilbert Denys, that is to say gave him the right to keep all the rents he could collect in exchange for an annual one-off payment. This sum was set at £40, which must be assumed to represent about 70% of the total rents due, therefore estimated at £57. Thus the See saved itself more than £17 per annum in its admin. expenses by farming it to Denys, who for his outlay of £40 may have collected £51 in rents, i.e. 90%, depending on how forceful he was inclined to be. That would represent a gross return to him of 28%. One must assume that Denys would have been willing to pay more than anyone else for the privilege, already holding next-door Siston, making for convenient administration. Thus in the Communar's Accounts of the See of Bath and Wells the following entries are recorded:1400–01 Received from Gilbert Denys, knt, for farm of Pokelchurch £40
1400–01 Paid to servant of Sir Gilbert Denys for venison from Pokelchurch for the canons 2s
1407/8 Received from Sir Gilbert Denys, farmer of the church at Pucklechurch £40
1407/9 Expenses of the steward about the agreement with Sir Gilbert Denys and on other occasions £1 3s 2d.
1407/9 Received from Gilbert Denys for wood at Crotesmor £5 13s 4d
1408/9 Received from Sir Gilbert Denys for the farm of Pucklechurch, £5 being remitted for the first term £35
1414–18 Expenses of holding a court at Pucklechurch and treating with Gilbert Denys at Sixton (Siston) and Olvyston and with Abbatiston (Abson?) parish £1 1s 5½d
1414–18 Expenses: Sir Gilbert Denys £2 and his bailiff 3s 4d and his entertainment for horses and men at Simon Bayly's (11s 8d) £2 15s
1414–18 Expenses hire of 2 horses at Wells and holding a court at Pucklechurch 1s 11d
1414–18 Rec'd from the bailiff of Pucklechurch, rent and perquisites of court £1 7s 5d
1417–18 Received from Sir Gilbert Denys for the farm of Pucklechurch £40
1417–18 Expenses at Pucklechurch, with horse hire, about tithes in Pucklechurch, Abbatiston (Abson?) and Westleigh (Westerleigh?) and arranging with Gilbert Denys £1 8s 1d
It would seem that it was a pleasant day out for a couple of the canons or friars of Wells to hire horses and ride over to talk business with Denys, perhaps an excuse to enjoy some all-expenses paid entertainment. It appears that Denys held the farm until his death in 1422, although records are not available to confirm this. A cadet branch of the Denys family became lords of the manor of Pucklechurch, probably in the 16th century, and continuing until the death of William Dennis in 1701, last of the male line.
Joins Retinue of Earl of Stafford
Following Gaunt's death in 1399, Denys joined the retinue of Edmund, Earl of Stafford(d.1403), and probably fought with the Earl in Henry IV's campaign against the Scots in 1400. In 1403 he was appointed by the King as constable of the late Earl of Stafford's Newport Castle, Monmouth, in charge of 80 archers and 40 lances, specifically to resist the rebellion of Glendower. Having been discouraged from attacking nearby Chepstow Castle, a far larger fortification, Glendower turned his force on Newport, which Denys's force was clearly unable to resist, for the castle was sacked. He must have returned across the Bristol Channel to Gloucestershire as on 7th. Oct in the same year the King issued the following order preserved in the Patent Rolls:
Commission to Maurice Russell, Gilbert Dynys, John Rolves and John Harsefelde to assemble all the able fencible men, footmen and horsemen, of the hundreds of Barton Regis by Bristol, Hembury, Pokelchurche, Thornbury, Grymboldesasshe, Berkeley and Whiston and bring them sufficiently armed to the town of Chepstowe by Thursday next at the latest to go with the King or his lieutenant to Wales to resist the rebels bringing with them victuals for 4 days and to take horses from those who have them who cannot labour and deliver them to those who can labour but lack horses. By K.
Three days later, on 10th. Oct. 1403 Denys and Edward, Lord Charlton were granted full powers to pardon any rebels in the lordships of Usk, Caerleon and Trilleck who submitted to them. He continued to hold office at Newport as steward and sheriff, possibly owing these appointments to Ann, dowager countess of Stafford and her 3rd. Husband, Sir William Bourchier. In 1418 Denys was sheriff of the Marcher Lordship of Gwynllwg (Wentloog), the caput of which was Newport.
Marriages to Joan Kemeys and Margaret Russell
Margaret Corbet died in 1398, having produced no male heir, only a daughter, Joan, who married Thomas Gamage and was old enough by 1422 to serve as executrix of her father's will. It is thought by some historians that Denys then married Joan Kemeys, the widow of Jenkin ap Dafydd of Grossmont, and second daughter of Jenkin de Kemeys by Jenet verch Jevan ap Lleison, patriarch of the Began line of the Glamorganshire de Kemeys family. She is possibly the mother of Matilda Denys, who would later marry the younger of the two contemporary men named Thomas Gamage, the son of William Gamage (1381-1419) and Mary de Rodborough, born in 1408, heir to Coity in Glamorgan and possibly the nephew of the Thomas Gamage who married Matilda's elder half-sister Joan [see below].
There is no doubt as to the identity of Denys's next bride. Before 1408 he married Margaret Russell, elder daughter of his near neighbour Sir Maurice Russell of Dyrham. The marriage was socially advantageous for Denys as the Russells were wealthy and well established in Gloucestershire, yet little prospect existed at the time of the marriage of financial advancement as Maurice Russell then had an 8-year-old heir, Thomas, produced by his young second wife Joan Dauntsey. Yet after Denys's death, Thomas Russell died in 1432, leaving an infant child who also died, leaving the Russell inheritance to Margaret, by then remarried to John Kemeys, and Isabel her sister. Thus Maurice Denys (1410–1466) the son and heir of Denys and Margaret Russell, and his Denys descendants, became heirs to half the Russell lands. According to the Heralds' Visitation of Glos. op.cit., Denys had by Margaret Russell the following children:
Maurice, eldest son and heir.
William Denys, second son, who according to the Devon historian Tristram Risdon (d.1640) married Joan St Aubyn (born 1411), widow of Otto Bodrugan (from the prominent Cornish family) and one of the two daughters and co-heiresses of John St Aubyn, of Combe Raleigh in Devon. William Denys had by her a single daughter and sole heiress to Combe Raleigh, Alice Denys, who married John Bonville, the illegitimate son of the Devonshire magnate William Bonville, 1st Baron Bonville(c.1392/3-1461), of Shute, Devon, by his mistress, Elizabeth Kirkby. John Bonville and Alice Denys had six daughters and co-heiresses, one of whom, Joan Bonville, married William III Fulford (1476–1517) of Great Fulford in the parish of Dunsford in Devon. Risdon was well-versed in the history of the separate ancient family of Denys of Devon, which originated at Orleigh, near Bideford, with different arms to Denys of Glmorgan, and is thus unlikely to have been in error in identifying William as the "son of Sir Gilbert Dennis of Wales". This genealogy is confirmed by the surviving 16th century stone-sculpted heraldic escutcheon over the entrance to the courtyard of Great Fulford, still occupied by the Fulford family in 2015, which shows in the 1st quarter the arms of Fulford and in the 7th quarter the jessant-de-lys arms of Denys of Glamorgan, in the 8th quarter the arms of St Aubyn (Argent, on a cross gules five bezants), an heiress of Denys, and in the 9th and last quarter the arms of Chalons (Gules, two bars between nine birds argent 3,3,3) an heiress of St Aubyn. These arms of Denys of Glamorgan are also shown in the Fulford Chapel in Dunsford Church.

Margaret (b. about 1413, a nun at Lacock Abbey)
The Dictionary of Welsh Biography entry by Evan David Jones for the family of Gamage
mentions a daughter "Matilda Denys" who married Thomas Gamage(b.1408), son and heir of William Gamage(d.1419), Denys's co-besieger of Coity, by Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Rodborough. Thomas became a ward of the Earl of Worcester in 1421, following his father's death. There is apparently some confusion here with Joan, Denys's daughter and executrix by Margaret Corbet, who would however have been too old to be the wife of this Thomas Gamage(b.1408) as she acted as Denys's executrix in 1422, and would then have been an adult. However a Matilda Denys is mentioned in the Calendar of the Martyrologue of St. Augustine's Abbey, Bristol, as having died in October 1422:
"Domina Matilda Denys, quae obiit die... Octobris, anno Christi 1422"
Serves under Lord Berkeley
In 1404 Denys served at sea in a fleet under the command of Thomas de Berkeley, 5th Baron Berkeley(d.1417), Admiral of the West. It appears this may have involved action around the southern Wales coast in connection with quelling Glendower's revolt.
Appointed feoffee of Lord Berkeley
In 1417 he was enfeoffed at Berkeley Castle by Lord Berkeley, shortly before his death, as one of the feoffees (i.e. trustees) of his estates, as the catalogue entry for charter number 581 preserved in the muniments at Berkeley Castle records:
"Feoffment by Thomas, Lord Berkeley, Knt, to
Walter Poole, Gilbert Denys, Knts,, Thomas Knolles, citizen of London, Thomas Rugge, John Grevell, Robert Greyndour and Thomas Sergeant, esquires, of all the lands, reversions, and tenants' services in Berkeley, Wotton, Glou-
cester, South Cerney, Cerneyeswike, Aure, Arlingham, and Horton, and in Berkeley and Bledislow Hundreds ; in the city of London ; in Portbury, Portishead, Weston, Bedminster, and in Bedminster and Portbury Hundreds, co. Somerset, and in Sharnecote and Chicklade, co. Wilts.,
together with the advowsons of St. Andrew's Church in Baynard's Castle, London, the advowsons of Chicklade, Portishead, and Walton, and the patronage and advowson of St. Mary's Abbey of Kingswood. Witnesses : Thomas
FitzNicoll, John Pauncefoot, Knights; Robert Poyntz, Edmund Bassett, Thomas Kendale. Datum ad Berkeley, Thursday, Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (24 June) 5 Hen. V. (1417). (With seal, broken)"
The City of London mansion of the Berkeleys was at Puddle Dock by Baynard's Castle. Thomas FitzNicholl, one of the witnesses, was many times MP for Gloucestershire, including in 1395 when he served jointly with Denys. Saul, N. states that such feoffees were likely to have been members of Lord Berkeley's retinue. This was a very significant position of trust assigned to Denys and others as Berkeley died leaving only a daughter and the succession to the vast Berkeley lands, including the castle itself, became a matter of much dispute amongst his possible heirs resulting in a series of feuds which led in 1470 to the last private battle fought on English soil at the Battle of Nibley Green, between Lord William Berkeley and Viscount Lisle, and there followed the longest dispute in English legal history, which did not end until 1609.
Besieges Coity Castle
The de Turberville family held the lordship of Coity from c. 1092 to 1360, having been founded by Sir Payn de Turberville, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan of Robert FitzHamon, 1st. Lord of Glamorgan. Richard de Turberville died in 1384, leaving his 4 sisters as co-heiresses. Sarah had married William Gamage; Margaret had married Sir Richard Stackpole, whose da. Joan had married Sir Richard Verney; Agnes had married Sir John de la Bere of Weobly Castle, Gower; Catherine had married Sir Roger Berkerolles (d.1351), another descendant of one of the Twelve Knights of Glamorgan, of East Orchard, St. Athan. It was their son Sir Roger Berkerolles (d.1411) who succeeded to Coity, but clearly not with the approval of all concerned. His sister Wenllian had married Sir Edward Stradling of St. Donat's Castle. The tomb effigies of Catherine and Sir Roger can be seen in St. Athan's Church. The Berkerolles' claim to Coity ended on 18 October 1411, with the death of Sir Lawrence Berkerolles II, son of Sir Roger and Catherine. His heir was his 1st. cousin once removed, the minor Thomas de la Bere, son of John de la Bere deceased, son of Agnes Turberville (sister of Richard) and Sir John de la Bere. Thomas died as a minor on 28 October 1414. Coity briefly thereafter escheated to the King, under the hand Isabel Despenser, seemingly in the capacity of Lord of Glamorgan, wife of Richard de Beauchamp, Lord of Bergavenny, following which the lordship reverted to the de Turberville family through Sarah, the youngest sister of Richard de Turberville. Following Sir Roger's death there was much general re-shuffling of property interests in Glamorgan, for example with the Stradling family. Sarah's marriage to Sir William Gamage of Rogiet brought the estate into the Gamage family. The succession was not however easily achieved for in September 1412, their grandson, another William Gamage, assisted by Sir Gilbert Denys, raised "no moderate multitude of armed men" and besieged Coity for a month, trying to oust Lady Joan Verney, wife of Sir Richard Verney and daughter of Margaret de Turberville, who it seems had taken up residence to assert her own claim to Coity in the confusion following Berkerolles's death. The king called up a commission of his local tenants to raise the siege and called another one a month later. The pair ended up in the Tower of London for having taken the law into their own hands, from 19th. November 1412 until 3rd. June 1413, after the death of Henry IV. However their action nevertheless proved successful in enforcing the Gamage claim to Coity. Denys's eldest daughter Joan was the wife of a certain Thomas Gamage, as his will reveals, possibly brother of William. Another of Denys's daughters, Matilda, by his 2nd wife, married another Thomas Gamage, great grandson of William Gamage and Sarah Turberville, thereby becoming Lady of Coity on her husband's succession, producing a son & heir John Gamage. The Gamage family held Coity until 1584. The Corbet triplets, of some thereof became wards of a certain Gamage and it may have been this connection of Margaret Corbet which formed a common link between her and Gilbert Denys, who as a young man would have been known to the Gamage family in Glamorgan.
Connection with Earl of Warwick
Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick was married to a daughter of Lord Berkeley, and it is likely Denys was known to him. One of Denys's own feoffees was Robert Stanshaw, a retainer of Warwick's, and Denys witnessed a charter at Cardiff in May 1421 for Richard Beauchamp, a cousin of the Earl.
Death and Burial
Denys's will was dated the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel (16 October 1421), and he died on 24 March 1422. His will is a very short and businesslike document. He requested to be buried in Siston Church, near his first wife Margaret Corbet. The fact that he had appointed his daughter Joan, "wife of Thomas Gamage" as his executrix to arrange this burial, suggests she must have been a daughter of Margaet Corbet, not of his second wife Margaret Russell. This supposition is strengthened by the fact she must have been an adult to be thus appointed, which would place her date of birth before Denys's 2nd. Marriage to Margaret Russell, c. 1408.
He requested Margaret Russell to take a vow of chastity if she wished to inherit his moveable goods in addition to her customary dower of 1/3 of his real estate. She was however remarried within 7 months, possibly under pressure from Sir Edward Stradling of St. Donat's Castle, Glamorgan, who had obtained the wardship of Morys, her son and Denys's heir. Her new husband, much her junior, was John Kemeys of Began, Monmouth, the young nephew of Stradling. 5 years earlier Stradling's uncle, Sir John Stradling had married Joan Dauntsey, the young widow of Margaret's own father, Sir Morys Russell (d.1416). Sir Edward Stradling married his daughter Katherine to Morys his ward, and Katherine Stradling thereby became matriarch of the Denys line. Denys and Stradling were well known to each other in Glamorgan, and in 1421 Denys had made a quitclaim or General Release to Stradling of his interests in Glamorgan following the death of Sir Roger Berkerolles, Lord of Coity, when much re-shuffling of property occurred. Katherine's mother was Joan, the bastard daughter of Cardinal Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, and son of John of Gaunt. Denys must have been known to Beaufort since he named him one of the overseers of his will, together with Bishop Philip Morgan of Worcester. It is possible that Stradling had obtained the wardship of Morys Denys through the influence of his father-in-law Beaufort, possibly as part of the marriage settlement, for in the next year, 1423, the marriage of Joan and Stradling took place. Morys was aged 12 in 1422, and the only son of his marriage to Katherine Stradling, Walter, was born in 1437, aging Katherine at just 14 when she became a mother. She seems to have died shortly thereafter as Morys then remarried to Alice Poyntz.

Ritu Karidhal Srivastava is an Indian scientist and aerospace engineer working in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). She was a Deputy Operations Director to India's Mars orbital mission, Mangalyaan. She has been referred to as one of the many "Rocket Women" of India. Giving tribute to her excellence in Mangalayaan mission, a Bollywood film Mission Mangal was created where Indian actress Vidya Balan did her role.
Early life and family
Karidhal was born in Lucknow,Uttar Pradesh. She grew up in a middle-class family which placed great emphasis on education.She studied in St. Anjani's Public School in Lucknow. She has two brothers and two sisters. Lack of resources and unavailability of coaching institutions and tuitions left her to rely only on her self motivation to succeed. As a child, she knew that her interest was in the space sciences. Gazing at the night sky for hours and thinking about outer space, she wondered about the moon, as to how it changes its shape and size; studied the stars and wanted to know what lay behind the dark space. In her teens, she started collecting newspaper cuttings about any space-related activity and kept track of the activities of ISRO and NASA.
Karidhal completed her B. Sc. in Physics from University of Lucknow. She Completed her M. Sc. in Physics from University of Lucknow and got enrolled in a doctorate course in the Physics Department. She later taught in the same department. She was a research scholar at Lucknow University for six months. She joined IISc, Bangalore, to pursue masters in aerospace engineering.
She has been conferred honoris causa (an honorary doctorate) D.Sc by Lucknow University during annual convocation 2019.
Career
Ritu Karidhal has worked for ISRO since 1997. She played a key role in the development of India's Mars Orbiter Mission, Mangalyaan, dealing with the detailing and the execution of the craft's onward autonomy system. She was also the Deputy Operations Director of this mission.
Mangalyan was one of the greatest achievements of ISRO. It made India the fourth country in the world to reach Mars. It was done in 18 months time and at a far lesser cost to the taxpayers - ₹450 crores only. Her job was to conceptualize and execute the craft's onward autonomy system, which operated the satellite's functions independently in space and responded appropriately to malfunctions.
She supervised the Chandrayaan 2 mission as the mission director.
When the United Kingdom assumed presidency of the G7 in 2021, Karidhal was appointed by the country's Minister for Women and Equalities Liz Truss to a newly formed Gender Equality Advisory Council (GEAC) chaired by Sarah Sands.
Again in 2023, India launched the Chandrayaan-3 mission to land on the lunar South pole and finally India became the first country to soft land on the lunar South pole. Ritu Karidhal too worked for the same mission and led India to this huge success.
Recognition
Karidhal received the ISRO Young Scientist Award in 2007 from A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the president of India.
Karidhal has also presented at TED and TEDx events describing the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission.
Karidhal was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Lucknow University, her alma mater. It was conferred by Governor Anandiben Patel.

The 2017 Hazfi Cup Final was the 30th final since 1975. Both teams were in poor form in the domestic league, the Hazfi cup final was the door to the AFC Champions League group-stage. If Tractor Sazi won, it meant that Naft Tehran would go to the AFC Champions League play-offs, and it would be the opposite if Naft Tehran won. Both sides were coached by Iranian coaches; Ali Daei and Amir Ghalenoei. The game was fairly dominated by Tractor Sazi but they missed most of their chances and a 27th-minute penalty miss. Sajjad Shahbazzadeh's 88th-minute goal made Naft Tehran clinch the title.
Format
The tie was contested over one leg, just like the last edition. If the teams could still not be separated, then extra time would have been played with a penalty shootout (taking place if the teams were still level after that).
Pre-match
Match history
This was Tractor Sazi's fourth Hazfi final and Naft Tehran's second appearance in the final match of the tournament. Tractor Sazi lastly won the cup in 2013–14, and became runners-up 2 times in 1976 and 1995. Naft Tehran appeared in the final in 2015 and lost to Zob Ahan, Naft Tehran is looking for its first Hazfi Cup title.

Gary Christopher Phillips (born 20 September 1961) is a footballer coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is academy head of goalkeeping at Watford.
Phillips started his career as a schoolboy at Southampton before moving to non-League Chalfont St Peter in 1978. He moved to Brighton & Hove Albion the same year. Phillips joined West Bromwich Albion in 1979, but failed to make an appearance and decided to sign for Barnet in 1981. Eventually he was sold to Brentford for £5,000. He then joined Reading, where he was loaned out to Barnet and Hereford United.
Phillps permanently rejoined Barnet in 1989, where he became player-manager in 1993. Thereafter, he took on the role of player-manager at Aylesbury United from March 1996 to November 1997 and from October 1999 to November 2001. In the intervening period, Phillips played for Aldershot Town.
Phillips had stints managing teams at Hemel Hempstead Town in 2001 and Grays Athletic in the 2008–09 season. He returned to Hemel Hempstead Town in October 2009, before being sacked in March 2010. He has since worked as a goalkeeping coach at both Barnet and Stevenage.
Playing career
Early career
Phillips started his footballing life as a centre forward until the age of 13 when he played as goalkeeper for his school team. He represented the South East Schools football team and was invited to join Watford on trial. In 1976, he signed schoolboy terms with Southampton, where he played for two years. He then moved on to play for Chalfont St Peter in non-League, before signing non-contract terms with Brighton & Hove Albion in early 1978 where he stayed for eight months.
Club career
On his 17th birthday, he signed for West Bromwich Albion, failing to make an appearance, though he worked for the club as a member of the ground staff. Phillips moved to non-League Barnet at the start of 1981. He was voted as Player of the Year for Barnet in 1982 and 1984. He was transfer listed due to financial troubles at Barnet, and therefore sold to Brentford for £5,000 in 1984. During his time with Brentford, Phillips was a runner-up in the Associate Members' Cup when Wigan Athletic defeated Brentford 3–1 at Wembley Stadium.
Phillips then had a spell at Reading, before rejoining Barnet on loan in 1988 to provide cover for injured goalkeepers Steve Humphries and Andy Lomas. He then joined Hereford United on loan in 1989, making six League appearances before signing for Barnet on a permanent basis. During the 1990–91 season, Barnet won the Football Conference and Phillips was an integral part of the team that won promotion into The Football League. Barnet gained promotion during the 1992–93 season, after they finished third in the Third Division, in which Phillips won the Player of the Year for the third season.
He retired after letting in a penalty to Jon Seager
Managerial and coaching career
Following the departure of manager Barry Fry to Southend United, Phillps was appointed as player-manager by new chairman Ricky George, at the start of the 1993–94 season. He was replaced by Ray Clemence in January 1994 who was bought in as "general manager", whilst Phillips retained his title of "manager".
On 21 March 1996, Phillips joined Aylesbury United as player-manager, taking over from Steve Ketteridge. He left Aylesbury in November 1997, and had a spell at Aldershot Town. He returned to Aylesbury United as player-manager in October 1999, making a total of 43 appearances in all competitions before leaving in October 2000. In the summer of 2001, he was appointed manager of Hemel Hempstead Town, before quitting 17 games later in November 2001. He has since been on to coach at Queens Park Rangers, Colchester United, Wycombe Wanderers, Luton Town, Southend United and Barnet, as well as managing their reserve side.
Phillips arrived at Grays as a coach, before being promoted to assistant manager in September 2008. He took over from Wayne Burnett as Grays Athletic manager in January 2009, until the end of the 2008–09 season, when he helped Grays to avoid relegation. He was replaced by Craig Edwards for the following 2009–10 season, but remained at Grays as a coach. He was then appointed manager again following Edwards sacking at the start of the next season, taking charge from Grays' first game of the new season. Phillips was placed on gardening leave on 10 September, after the club announced its intent to appoint a new manager a few days prior.
Hemel Hempstead Town announced Phillips had been appointed as manager after former manager Dennis Grenne stepped down. After a poor run of results and leaving Hemel Hempstead Town second from bottom in the Southern Football League, in the relegation zone, Phillips was sacked from his post as manager.
In March 2011, Phillips rejoined Barnet as a goalkeeping coach to aid manager Martin Allen and the club's battle against relegation back to the Conference National.
Phillips joined League One side Stevenage as the club's goalkeeping coach in February 2012. Phillips had previously been assistant manager at Stevenage, having served as Wayne Turner's assistant during Turner's brief spell in-charge of the club in 2002. The move reunited him with manager Gary Smith and assistant Mark Newson, who Phillips had previously managed at Aylesbury United. He left the club when Smith was sacked in March 2013.
Phillips was previously a Youth Development Phase Goalkeeping Coach at Crystal Palace. He joined Watford as academy head of goalkeeping for the start of the 2022–23 season.
Personal life
Phillips was born in St Albans, where he was still living in 2006. He is married with three daughters. His father was a policeman.

Château de Najac or the royal fortress of Najac (Languedocien: Castèl de Najac) is located in Najac, in the Aveyron département, in southern France.
The castle was built in 1253 by the villagers on the orders of Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of Saint Louis, on the site of an older castle (a square tower) built in 1100 by Bertrand of St Gilles, son of Raymond IV, count of Toulouse.
Architecture
The castle is built at the summit of a hill formed by a loop of the river.
The inner bailey of the castle forms a rough rectangle, with the longest side about 40 meters long.
Towers project from the South and North walls, and there are towers at each corner, including an earlier square tower and a large round donjon from where the defence of the castle can be coordinated. The gate is protected by a barbican.
The castle has a world record with its archères (a thin aperture for archers), such a size being designed to allow use by three archers at the same time. A secret corridor, hidden within the walls, links the Romanesque tower to the chapel of the keep.
Possession of this castle, built 200 meters over the river Aveyron, was key to control of the region.
History
Najac has been near major events of history: the first English occupation, the Albigensian Crusade, the Hundred Years' War, the imprisonment of the Knights Templar, the peasants' revolts, and the French Revolution.
After having been used as a stone quarry in the 19th century, Najac was saved by the Cibiel family, who own it and open it to visitors. The Château de Najac is one of a group of 23 castles in Aveyron who have joined to provide a tourist itinerary as the Route des Seigneurs du Rouergue. The castle has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1925.

A side letter or side agreement or side letter arrangement is an agreement that is not part of the underlying or primary contract or agreement, and which some or all parties to the contract use to reach agreement on issues the primary contract does not cover or for which they require clarification, or to amend the primary contract. Under the law of contracts, a side letter has the same force as the underlying or primary contract. However, the validity of side letters has been denied by some courts in specific circumstances. Side letters are often used in financial or property transactions, or other commercial contracts. They are usually in the form of a letter signed by parties signatory to the primary contract but can also be an oral agreement. As part of a business organization's governance strategy, side letters should be under similar controls to any other contractual agreement, as they can have significant financial or operational impact, or expose the organization to risks of many types.
Side letters may also be used in relation to private fund contracts, for example a particular investor may wish to vary the terms of a limited partnership agreement with respect to that particular investor. An investor might be seeking more favourable terms under the contract or might need the side letter to enter the venture under terms to meet regulatory requirements.
In Barbudev v Eurocom Cable Management Bulgaria Eood and others (2011), the High Court decided that a side letter provided an opportunity to invest on terms to be agreed, and was therefore an "agreement to agree", not a binding contract. The Court of Appeal later upheld the ruling.

Walter Roepke was a professional American football player for the Akron Imperials and the Massillon Tigers. He played with these teams in the Ohio League, which was the direct predecessor to the modern National Football League. Roepke began the 1903 season as a member of the Imperials. However, the Massillion officials were very impressed with his play against the Tigers and shortly afterwards signed him to their team.
On Thanksgiving Day, Roepke scored three times during a 34-0 Tigers victory over Wooster College. He started the 1903 Ohio League title game against the Akron East Ends at fullback, however he was soon forced from the game after a kick by an East Ends player broke his nose. Massillon would go on to win the game by a score of 11-0 and clinch their first league title. On the train home, several Massillon fans took up a collection to pay for the medical bill for Roepke and his nose. He netted $40 as an "expression of gratitude."
Roepke returned to the Tigers in 1904. During Massillon's 148-0 victory over a team from Marion, Roepke returned a punt back for a touchdown. However late in game, he suffered a fractured collar bone. After having a broken nose in 1903 and a broken collar bone in 1904, Roepke reportedly gave up football.

The East Asian Youth Games (EAYG) is a continental multi-sport event organised by the East Asian Olympic Committee (EAOC) and held every four years since 2023 among athletes from East Asian countries and territories of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), as well as the Pacific island of Guam, which is a member of the Oceania National Olympic Committees.
The East Asian Youth Games is currently the only Games held by East Asian Olympic Committee without special edition for disabilities (Para Games).
History
2017 East Asian Games (canceled)
The 2017 East Asian Games was scheduled to take place in Fukuoka, Japan, but was later scrapped and was scheduled to make a new event in 2019. (It was supposed to be the 2019 East Asian Youth Games, in Taichung, Taiwan) before it was canceled.
2019 East Asian Youth Games (canceled)
On July 24, 2018, the East Asian Olympic Committee (EAOC) held an impromptu meeting at the request of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to revoke the hosting rights of Taichung in Taiwan, citing recent referendum movement in Taiwan to change its name from "Chinese Taipei" to "Taiwan" for 2020 Summer Olympics. The vote against Taiwan passed 6 against 1 with PRC, Hong Kong, Macau, Mongolia, North Korea and South Korea in favor, while Taiwan was against the vote, and Japan abstaining. The move by PRC is considered as politically motivated and is part of the PRC government's aggressive schemes to diminish the presence of Taiwan on the international arena.
2023 East Asian Youth Games - Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The first East Asian Youth Games is scheduled to be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from 16 to 23 August 2023. Over 1,500 athletes from 9 countries and regions are expected to compete in the games.

Darko "Charlie" Jurković (born 20 April 1965 in Rijeka, Croatia) is a Croatian jazz guitarist and composer.
Biography
Jurković initially received classical music training on violin, before he changed his interest to jazz and guitar at the age of 15. Influenced by guitarists like Pat Metheny, John Scofield and especially Stanley Jordan he dedicated himself to this instrument. Like Jordan, he started making notes on the instrument with both hands. He masters this technique of Two-Hand-Tapping completely, so that he can simultaneously play on two guitars melody and bass. Until 1997, he studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz with Harry Pepl, completing his master's degree.
There after he played in bands like the Kvartet Sensitive, in the Europlane Orchestra and in the band of Boško Petrović, including with Emil Spányi and Gino Comisso, but he also played in the trio of František Uhlíř (including live recordings with Dusko Goykovich). Under his own name, he put three albums and two as co-leaders. He toured not only through Central Europe, France and Turkey, but also in South America.
Honors
Jurković was honored in the years 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008 with the award of the Croatian Musicians Union for the best jazz guitarist; he also won the Porin Prize.

Imre Gyula Izsák (Zalaegerszeg, Hungary, February 21, 1929 – Paris, France, April 21, 1965) was a Hungarian mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and celestial mechanician. His father, Gyula Izsák, taught geography and biology in Zalaegerszeg. His mother, Aranka Pálfi, was a mathematics and physics teacher.
Education
Izsák received his basic schooling in Zalaegerszeg. After his mother's early death, he continued his studies at the Lower Real School in Kőszeg, where he was particularly influenced by his geography and science teacher, Szilárd Zerinváry, who later gained national fame with his writings on astronomy and the stars.
Because of his outstanding mathematical abilities, Izsák was sent on to study at the Artúr Görgey Military Cadet Engineering School in Esztergom. Near the end of the Second World War, his entire class of military cadets was taken to Germany, where he became a prisoner of war.
On his return to his native town from a prisoner-of-war camp in the fall of 1945, he enrolled in the 6th grade of Ferenc Deák High School (now Miklós Zrínyi High School). The following year, he simultaneously completed 7th and 8th grade with outstanding results and ranked 1st and 2nd in national mathematics competitions.
He earned his college degree in mathematics and physics at the Loránd Eötvös University of Arts and Sciences in Budapest. While there, he was a resident of Eötvös College, a residential college for elite students of the university. During his second year he published a paper that resulted in controversy, as some could not believe that such a paper on differential geometry had been written by a young student. Attending lectures by István Földes raised his interest in celestial mechanics. During his college years, he was an assistant at the observatory founded by Miklós Konkoly-Thege. He continued working there after earning his degree in the summer of 1951. In the observatory, he worked under the supervision of László Detre and Júlia Balázs and started working on his advanced degree at the age of 22.
In 1953 he joined the Szabadsághegyi Observatory. He later taught at the University of Arts and Sciences in Szeged.
Celestial mechanics
Izsák was interested in the three-body problem and the n-body problem. He studied the light emissions of quasars. After defending his doctorate and ignoring the prevailing wisdom that celestial mechanics was a resolved field, he returned to his favorite topic and started working on the trajectories of rockets and satellites. Putting his work into practice would have been possible only in the Soviet Union or the USA; international connections in Hungary at that time were limited to the occasional conference in the Soviet Union. Therefore, in November 1956, during the Hungarian revolution, he took advantage of the open borders and emigrated to Austria.
Soon after, he traveled to Switzerland, where the director of the Zürich Observatory offered him a position. He arrived in Zürich on January 9, 1957. By April, he was a full-time researcher at the institute for solar physics. Besides his research, he taught celestial navigation and time measurement to college students. He started learning English and became part of the international scientific community. His results on computing satellite orbits earned him an invitation to Cincinnati, Ohio. Soon he became one of the most respected authorities on the topic. He got a new offer for a position at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This was the primary institute for processing the orbital data of U.S. satellites. The work he started in Cambridge in 1959 led to his greatest successes. He had access to computers, which he needed to carry out much more precise computations than previously. The pace of the work was intense. He and his collaborators published one paper after another and extended their work to the geodesic applications of satellites.
The ultimate goal of his computations was the determination of the precise shape of the Earth, which had long been known to be approximately an ellipsoid of revolution. He used observations of satellite orbits to compute deviations from this shape. The classic problem of celestial mechanics is to compute the orbit of a moon, given a known distribution of mass. He solved the inverse problem. He used harmonic approximation in his computations, i.e. he reconstructed the Earth's gravitational field from monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles, etc. The shape indicated by such a computation may not match the shape of the Earth exactly, but it has exactly the same gravitational field. Izsák found that the shape of the equator was not a precise circle, but deviated from one by about 400 meters. This result was magnitudes better than any previous approximation.
On June 1, 1961, he officially announced his computations of the shape of the Earth and its surface. They brought him to the center of scientific attention and rapidly earned him international fame. He received frequent invitations and gave lectures all over the world. He continued to work hard, agreeing to write a college textbook on the motions of satellites while lecturing at Harvard University. As an acknowledgment his accomplishments, he was made a chief scientist at NASA.
Izsák was married on June 7, 1962, to Emily Kuempel Brady, a teacher of English literature at Boston University. He became a US citizen on February 24, 1964. That fall, his son Andrew was born.
In 1965, he traveled to a conference on satellite-geodesics in Paris, where he died of a heart attack in his hotel room on April 21, 1965, at the age of 36. He was buried in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 28.

The King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) is a local police agency in King County, Washington, United States. It is the primary law enforcement agency for all unincorporated areas of King County, as well as 12 cities and two transit agencies which contract their police services to the KCSO. KCSO also provides police and fire Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting to the King County International Airport (Boeing Field). KCSO also provides regional-level support services to other local law enforcement agencies such as air support and search and rescue. The department has over 1,000 employees and serves 2.1 million citizens, over 500,000 of whom live in either unincorporated areas or the 12 contract cities.
The current Sheriff of King County is Patti Cole-Tindall, the former Undersheriff within the department. Cole-Tindall was appointed in November 2021 and was sworn in on January 1, 2022 then confirmed as permanent sheriff by the King County Council on May 23, 2022
History
The first King County Sheriff was elected in 1852. The office was renamed the King County Department of Public Safety after voters approved a charter change in 1968, and the director would be appointed. In the 1980s, the name of the department was again changed, this time to the King County Police Department. In 1996, voters decided to reinstate voting for the sheriff and the name was changed back to the King County Sheriff’s Office. However, in 2020, voters decided to return to an appointed sheriff and to allow the King County Council to change the duties of the sheriff.
As a result of the 2020 election, on December 31, 2021, Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht finished out her elected term. Johanknecht's Undersheriff, Patti Cole-Tindall was appointed as Interim Sheriff by Executive Dow Constantine.

Divisions
Office of the Sheriff - includes the Sheriff, Undersheriff, chief of staff, aides, a media relations officer, labor negotiator, the Internal Investigations Unit, and the Legal Unit.
Field Operations Division - manages the core functions of patrol, precinct-based detectives, crime prevention, storefronts, and reserve deputies. The subdivision into four precincts allows for better community-based responses because the precinct commanders can use local data to direct law enforcement services. Day-to-day management of contract city police and school resource officers, are the responsibility of this division.
Special Operations Division - provides support services to other divisions, regional services to local agencies, and contract police service to the King County Metro Transit Division (including Sound Transit Police), King County Department of Transportation (Motor Unit (disbanded 10/1/12)), and the King County International Airport ARFF Police. Services provided by this division include: a K-9 unit with search and drug detection capabilities; Air Support (Guardian One); Marine Unit; Bomb Squad; tactical training in firearms, less-lethal weapons, and defensive tactics; Tac-30 (SWAT); hostage negotiations; dignitary protection; tow coordination and appeal hearings; Search & Rescue; D.M.T. (Demonstration Management Team); instruction in and equipment for Haz-Mat; and special event planning and coordination. The division has also taken the lead in planning for homeland security concerns.
Criminal Investigations Division (CID) - includes the Major Crimes Section, the Special Investigations Section, and the King County Regional Criminal Intelligence Group. The division serves citizens with follow-up investigative, warrant, and intelligence-gathering services. Specifically, it investigates crimes including homicide, domestic violence, computer fraud, forgery, sexual assault, and more. CID also addresses child support enforcement issues.
Technical Services Division - provides the bulk of support services that are vital to efficient operations. Often, the employees in this division provide direct services to citizens as well as support services to the other divisions. Services provided by the division personnel include emergency 9-1-1 call receiving and dispatching, managing court security (County Marshals), technology development, records, contracting, civil process, personnel/hiring, payroll, purchasing, training, photography, application and administration of grants, planning, and all aspects of fingerprint identification.

Most of the contracts within the Sheriff's Office have their own patch and patrol car design and wear a King County Sheriff badge, while other contracts have no identity other than the King County Sheriff uniform, patch and patrol car. Those contracts that don't have their own identity are Beaux Arts Village, Skykomish, Muckleshoot Tribe (they wear a tribal patch on each sleeve beneath the King County Sheriff patch) and King County Metro Transit. King County Metro Transit Police, a unit of the sheriff's office, do have their own style of patrol car specific to Metro Police, and their own uniform with the standard King County Sheriff patch. The city of North Bend contracted with the KCSO from 1973 until March 8, 2014 when the City of Snoqualmie Police Department took over the policing duties in North Bend, at that time the North Bend contract was KCSO longest standing contract.
The KCSO Motor Unit existed under contract with the King County Department of Transportation: Roads Division, which in turn provided funding for S.T.E.P (the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program) which targeted select arterials within unincorporated King County based on a history of accidents, chronic traffic problems, and high citizen complaints. The KCSO Motors Unit wore the standard KCSO patch and Class A uniform and rode Honda KCSO marked police motorcycles. The Motor Unit participated in traffic enforcement, instructor certifications, dignitary protection and escort, parades and special events, educational and school activities as well as extensive motorcycle training. This unit was disbanded October 1, 2012. The contract cities of Sammamish and SeaTac each have two full time motorcycle deputies assigned to traffic patrol duties.
Rank structure
Contract city chiefs wear three stars when in their contract uniform and one star when in a KCSO uniform.
Law Enforcement Exploring Program
The King County Sheriff's Office has a volunteer program for individuals between the ages of 14 and 21 who are interested in investigating a career in the field of law enforcement. The program is called the King County Sheriff Explorers and is a local post of the Learning for Life Exploring program. The explorer post has a rank structure similar to the Sheriff's Office. The explorers attend academies and competitions, ride-along with deputies on patrol, and receive training on a variety of law enforcement topics.
There are four Explorer posts in cities contracted with the King County Sheriff's Office, those being an unincorporated post in Woodinville, as well as city posts in Maple Valley, Burien, and Sammamish.
Controversy
In February 2012, Dustin Theoharis was shot sixteen times by a sheriff's deputy and a Department of Corrections officer as he lay in his bed. The officers were attempting to search the home for another man when they saw Theoharis move and they opened fire. Officers responding to the shooting allegedly failed to gather evidence, moved items at the crime scene and acted as advocates for the shooters. An internal investigation found no wrongdoing on the part of the officers. The officers involved refused to cooperate with the investigation. The state settled a lawsuit for $2.5 Million. The county agreed to pay $3 million to settle the matter. Sheriff John Urquhart pointed out to the press that he was not responsible for this incident as he had not yet been elected.
In 2017 Detective Richard Rowe in plain clothes approached a motorcyclist from behind with his gun drawn without identifying himself as a law enforcement officer for a full minute. He also reached into the motocyclist's pocket to pull out his wallet so that an observer might think an armed robbery was in progress. The department later settled the case with a $65,000 payment to the victim and agreed to modify its use-of-force policy.
In March 2021, the King County Sheriff's Office agreed to pay out a $5 million settlement to the family of Tommy Le, a 20-year-old high school student who was shot and killed by Deputy Cesar Molina in 2017. Deputies had encountered Le while responding to a report of a disoriented man who may have been armed with a knife or sharp object. The sheriff's office initially stated that Le attacked deputies with a knife or other sharp object and that Molina shot Le in self-defense. An investigation by the sheriff's office Use of Force Board cleared the shooting on the basis that deputies "reasonably believed that [Le] was armed with a deadly weapon and had already attacked someone with a knife". However, a subsequent outside review of the case found a "lack of rigor" in the sheriff's office's investigation, pointing to significant issues such as evidence suggesting that Le was likely moving away from the deputies when he was shot. The review also found that while Le was found to be carrying a ballpoint pen during the encounter, KCSO investigators spent a large amount of their time trying to find the knife reported by one witness in order to justify the shooting.

Continuity Studios (formerly Continuity Associates, originally known as Continuity Graphics Associates) was a New York City and Los Angeles-based art and illustration studio formed by cartoonists Neal Adams and Dick Giordano. For fifty years the company showed that the graphic vernacular of the comic book could be employed in profitable endeavors outside the confines of traditional comics.
History
At its founding in 1971, Continuity primarily supplied motion picture storyboards and advertising art. As times changed, Continuity adapted its services to offer animatics, 3D computer graphics, and conceptual design.
Over the years, Continuity also served as an art packager for comic book publishers, including such companies as Charlton Comics, Marvel Comics, Adams' own Continuity Comics, and the one-shot Big Apple Comix. The company served as the launching pad for the careers of a number of professional cartoonists. When doing collective comics work, the artists were often credited as "Crusty Bunkers."
More established cartoonists like Win Mortimer found work at Continuity profitable enough that they left the comics industry to work exclusively on Continuity projects.
A snapshot of the studio in 1977–1978 came in the form of the wraparound cover for the oversize celebrity comic book Superman vs. Muhammad Ali—illustrated by Continuity co-founders Neal Adams and Dick Giordano—which portrayed Jack Abel, Mark Alexander, Joe Barney, Pat Bastine, Cary Bates, Joe Brozowski, Joe D'Esposito, John Fuller, Michael Netzer (Nasser), Carl Potts, Marshall Rogers, Trevor Von Eeden, and Bob Wiacek as members of "Neal Adams' Continuity Associates."

The Melville Highlands () are an ice-covered upland rising to about and forming the central part of Laurie Island between Pirie Peninsula and the south coast, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. The name derives from James Weddell's map of 1825 whereon the name "Melville Island" appears for the already named Laurie Island; it was given for Robert Dundas, 2nd Viscount Melville, who was First Lord of the Admiralty, 1812–27 and 1828–30, including the period of Antarctic exploration by Weddell. To preserve the name in this area it was applied to these highlands by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1987.

The Western High Plateau, Western Highlands or Bamenda Grassfields is a region of Cameroon characterised by high relief, cool temperatures, heavy rainfall and savanna vegetation. The region lies along the Cameroon line and consists of mountain ranges and volcanoes made of crystalline and igneous rock. The region borders the South Cameroon Plateau to the southeast, the Adamawa Plateau to the northeast and the Cameroon coastal plain to the south.
Topography and geology
The Western High Plateau lies along the Cameroon line, a series of volcanic swells running from the Atlantic Ocean in the southwestern part of the plateau to the Adamawa Plateau in the northeast. The region is characterised by accidented relief of massifs and mountains. The Western High Plateau features several dormant volcanoes, including the Bamboutos Mountains, Mount Oku and Mount Kupe. The plateau rises in steps from the west. To the east, it terminates in mountains that range from 1,000 metres to 2,500 metres in height, terminating in the South Cameroon Plateau. The plateau gives way to the Adamawa Plateau to the northeast, which is a larger but less accidented region.
The core of the plateau is made up of volcanic rock, which is ringed by plutonic rock. The base is crystalline and metamorphic rock. The base rock is primarily gneiss and granite that dates to the Precambrian period. A layer of basalt covers this. Vulcanism has created fertile black and brown soils. Erosion played a large role.
Climate and drainage
The plateau experiences an equatorial climate of the Cameroon type. The area experiences two major seasons: A long, wet season of nine months, and a short, dry season of three months. During the wet season, humid, prevailing monsoon winds blow in from the west and lose their moisture upon hitting the region's mountains. Average rainfall per year ranges from 1,000 mm to 2,000 mm. High elevations give the region a cooler climate than the rest of Cameroon. For example, the average temperature at Dschang in the West Region is 20°C. Toward the north, rainfall levels are reduced as the Sudan climate becomes predominant.
The Western High Plateau's relief and high rainfall make it a major watershed for Cameroon. Important rivers in the region include the Manyu, which rises in the Bamboutos Mountains and becomes the Cross River on its lower course, and the Nkam, which is known as the Wouri River on its lower course. The region gives rise to important tributaries to the Sanaga River. These rivers follow a Cameroon regime, a subtype of the equatorial regime of other southern Cameroonian rivers. This means that the rivers experience a long, high-water period during the wet season and a short, low-water period during the dry season. The region's rivers ultimately empty into the Atlantic Ocean. The area's accidented geography gives rise to several waterfalls along these waterways. Ekon Falls near Nkongsamba in the West Region is 80 metres high. Crater lakes dot the plateau, the result of dead volcanoes filling with water.
Flora
The Western High Plateau was once heavily forested. However, repeated cutting and burning by human beings has forced the forest back to areas along the waterways and has allowed grasslands to expand into the area. Sudan savanna forms the dominant vegetation. This consists of grassfields—leading to the name Bamenda grassfields around the city of Bamenda—and short shrubs and trees that shed their foliage during the dry season as a defence against brush fires and dry weather. Raffia palms grow in the valleys and depressions.

The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is a non-profit non-governmental organization that combats extremist groups "by pressuring financial support networks, countering the narrative of extremists and their online recruitment, and advocating for strong laws, policies and regulations".
CEP was formally launched on 22 September 2014, by former senior government officials, including former the Homeland Security adviser Frances Townsend, former Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman and Mark Wallace, a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The mission of the organization is to fight global extremism, with an initial goal of disrupting the financing and online recruitment and propaganda of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). The group is modeled on United Against Nuclear Iran, an advocacy group led by Wallace which has had success increasing economic pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Other prominent board members include Gary Samore, August Hanning, Dennis Ross and Irwin Cotler.
CEP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It can accept tax-deductible contributions on a confidential basis. For security reasons, CEP generally declines to name its financial backers, except for Thomas Kaplan, a billionaire investor who also supports United Against Nuclear Iran.
Digital Disruption Campaign
CEP launched its "Digital Disruption Campaign" to remove accounts associated with ISIS from social media networks in order to deny them popular platforms to incite violence, spread their ideas and recruit members. The campaign has particularly focused on Twitter, calling on the company to adopt new policies to prevent extremists such as ISIS from misusing their platform, as well as identifying ISIS accounts and alerting Twitter to remove them. ISIS has made extensive use of social media, especially Twitter, to recruit fighters and to distribute propaganda videos, including clips that show the decapitation of American journalists and a British foreign aid official. The campaign has led to death threats such as beheading against the CEP president Frances Townsend on Twitter from jihadist accounts.
CEP started by collecting ISIS propaganda to learn how it tailors its messaging to various audiences. CEP had this material translated into English to make it easier for academics, reporters and other researchers to study ISIS and its methods. CEP then crafted a counter-narrative that brought attention to human rights abuses under ISIS, its use of extreme violence against women, children and non-combatants.
YouTube study
A study released by CEP in July 2018, determined that while YouTube had made a great deal of progress towards removing extremist content, terrorists still had a large audience on the site. CEP determined that between March and June 2018 ISIS members and supporters uploaded 1,348 videos to the site which received 163,391 views over the same period. 24% of those videos remained on YouTube for at least two hours. Many of these videos were shared on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites before YouTube could delete them. These videos were posted using 278 accounts. Roughly 60% of these accounts were allowed to remain active by YouTube despite having been used to upload extremist content that violated the site's terms of use. Hany Farid, a senior advisor to CEP, criticized YouTube. He said, "We know these videos are being created for propaganda purposes to incite and encourage violence, and I find those videos dangerous in a very real way."
CEP searched YouTube using 185 keywords commonly associated with ISIS. These included the Arabic terms for "crusader." "jihad". the names of ISIS-controlled geographic locations, media outlets and propagandists. CEP created a software system that searched YouTube every 20 minutes over the three-month life of the study. The system then used CEP's video identification tool, , to compare the results to 229 known terrorist video clips. generates a unique signature called a "hash" for each video or section of a video. This, in turn, allows known videos to be identified even if they have been edited, copied or otherwise altered.
Global Youth Summit Against Violent Extremism
On 28 September 2015, CEP co-hosted the first Global Youth Summit Against Violent Extremism with the U.S. Department of State and Search for Common Ground at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. The event "drew more than 80 youth leaders from 45 countries with the objective of developing outreach and social-media intervention initiatives that can be shared globally". Senior U.S. government officials who addressed the attendees included the U.S. Homeland Security Advisor Lisa Monaco, the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Richard Stengel, and the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Sarah Sewall. The summit also used presentations from Facebook and Microsoft. A panel of judges at the summit awarded $100,000 to youth activist programs it believed would have the greatest impact.
NORex
In June 2016, CEP unveiled a software tool for use by Internet and social media companies to "quickly find and eliminate extremist content used to spread and incite violence and attacks". A CEP senior advisor. Hany Farid, a computer scientist who specializes in the forensic analysis of digital images, developed the software. It functions similarly to PhotoDNA, a system that uses robust hashing technology that Farid worked on developing with Microsoft, which is "now widely used by Internet companies to stop the spread of content showing sexual exploitation or pornography involving children".
To operate this new technology to combat extremism, CEP proposed the creation of a National Office for Reporting Extremism (NORex), which would house a comprehensive database of extremist content and function similar to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. President Obama supported this initiative. Lisa Monaco, Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, said, "We welcome the launch of initiatives such as the Counter Extremism Project's National Office for Reporting Extremism that enables companies to address terrorist activity on their platforms and better respond to the threat posed by terrorists' activities online." Wallace stated that if this system were to be adopted by social media companies and the private sector, it "would go a long way to making sure that online extremism is no longer pervasive".

Arhopala phaenops, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It was described by Cajetan Felder and Rudolf Felder in 1865. It is found in the Indomalayan realm.
A. phaenops Fldr. is similar to Arhopala adorea it is smaller, of a brighter blue, and above all discernible by the under surface, where the small rings of the proximal half of the hindwing are very small and therefore more remote from each other. The transverse bands in the marginal area of the forewing, which in adorea are interrupted on the median, run here uniformly.

A. p. detrita (Staudinger, 1889) Palawan
A. p. sandakani Druce, 1896 Borneo, Sumatra, Peninsular Malayais - still brighter blue on the upper surface of the male; the proximal ring-spots are here likewise very small, but filled with a much darker colour, in the same way as the transverse bands. Above the black margin of the wings is somewhat broader, about 1.5 to 2 mm in the male. The postmedian band of the forewing beneath is here not only interrupted, but the two ends of the interruption are also distantly remote from each other.

Epistemological particularism is the view that one can know something without knowing how one knows it. By this view, one's knowledge is justified before one knows how such belief could be justified. Taking this as a philosophical approach, one would ask the question "What do we know?" before asking "How do we know?" The term appears in Roderick Chisholm's "The Problem of the Criterion", and in the work of his student, Ernest Sosa ("The Raft and the Pyramid: Coherence versus Foundations in the Theory of Knowledge"). Particularism is contrasted with methodism, which answers the latter question before the former. Since the question "What do we know" implies that we know, particularism is considered fundamentally anti-skeptical, and was ridiculed by Kant in the Prolegomena.

Il Canzoniere (; ), also known as the Rime Sparse (), but originally titled (, that is Fragments composed in vernacular), is a collection of poems by the Italian humanist, poet, and writer Petrarch.
Though the majority of Petrarch's output was in Latin, the Canzoniere was written in the vernacular, a language of trade, despite Petrarch's view that Italian was less adequate for expression. Of its 366 poems, the vast majority are in sonnet form (317), though the sequence contains a number of canzoni (29), sestine (9), madrigals (4), and ballate (7). Its central theme is the poet's love for Laura, a woman Petrarch allegedly met on April 6, 1327, in the Church of Sainte Claire in Avignon. Though disputed, the inscription in his copy of Virgil records this information. Petrarch's meticulous dating of his manuscripts has allowed scholars to deduce that the poems were written over a period of forty years, with the earliest dating from shortly after 1327, and the latest around 1368. The transcription and ordering of the sequence itself went on until 1374, the year of the poet's death. The two sections of the sequence which are divided by Laura's death have traditionally been labelled 'In vita' (In life') and 'In morte' (In death) respectively, though Petrarch made no such distinction. His work would go on to become what Spiller calls 'the single greatest influence on the love poetry of Renaissance Europe until well into the seventeenth century'.
Central ideas
The central theme in the Canzoniere is Petrarch's courtly love for Laura, with whom he reportedly fell in love at first sight on 6 April 1327 and who died on that date in 1348. The poems however are so sparing of facts that Petrarch had to write his friend Giacomo Colonna to assert her existence against a charge that she was a fictional creation.
The most evident purpose of the Canzoniere is to praise Laura, yet questions concerning the virtue of love in relation to the Christian religion and desire are always present. Antithesis are also key to the sequence and in one sense represent Petrarch's search for balance; these would later be exploited by Petrarchists in Europe but represent only one aspect of the Rimes. This leads on to the essential paradox of Petrarchan love, where love is desired yet painful: fluctuation between states is a means of expressing this instability. The changing mind of man and the passing of time are also central themes, as is the consideration of the art of poetic creation itself. Some other themes are desire, isolation, unrequited love, and vanity of youth.
In any case, it would be improper to see Canzoniere as uniquely inspired by love for Laura. Other themes are important: religion, poetry, politics, time, glory. The love theme itself should be considered as the nucleus around which Petrarch develops his deep psychological analysis: thanks to his poems inspired by Laura (laurus is the symbol for poetry) the poet aspires to reach glory, which in turn can fight the all-destroying power of time. Even glory, however, cannot guarantee real eternity, because in Christianity, only faith in Jesus Christ can guarantee it.
Influences on the Canzoniere
Petrarch uses Ovid's Metamorphoses to convey themes of instability, and also sources Virgil's Aeneid. Petrarch inherited aspects of artifice and rhetorical skill from Sicilian courtly poetry, including that of the inventor of the sonnet form, Giacomo da Lentini. In addition, the troubadours who wrote love poems concerned with chivalry in Provençal (in the canso or canzone form) are likely to have had an influence, primarily because of the position of adoration in which they placed the female figure. Dante, and the school of the dolce stil nuovo, or new sweet style, developed this placement of the female and proposed that the pursuit of love was a noble virtue.
Influence of the Rime
In England
In 1380, Chaucer adopted part of the Canzoniere to form three stanzas of rhyme royal in Troilus and Criseyde, Book I. Over 150 years would pass until Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, would translate several Rime in the court environment of Henry VIII. Their translations are largely credited with making the ten-syllable line normative in English, and in George Puttenham's 1589 Art of English Poesie are credited with reforming the English language:
As novices newly crept out of the schooles of Dante, Arioste and Petrarch, they greatly polished our rude and homely manner of vulgar poesie, from that it had bene before, and for that cause may justly be sayd the first reformers of our English meetre and stile.
Thus, their translations of Rimes from the Canzoniere paved the way for the sonnet sequences of Sidney and Shakespeare.
In France
Early French sonneteers included Clément Marot and Mellin Saint Gelais. The latter spent nine years in Italy before returning to France to spread knowledge of Petrarch and Serafino. The first sonnet sequence to be published in France came in 1549 in the form of Joachim du Bellay's L'Olive. When first published it contained 50 sonnets but the next year Bellay added more poems and raised the total number to 115 - references to Petrarch are made in fourteen of these sonnets. Pierre de Ronsard also took up Petrarch's influence and his sonnets are credited for their originality.

In shogi, Sakata Opposing Rook (阪田流向かい飛車 or 坂田流向かい飛車 sakata-ryū mukai hisha) is an Opposing Rook opening.
It refers to the case in a Double Static Rook situation in which Gote (White) switches energetically to an Opposing Rook variation. The origin of this strategy is dated back to the Edo period, but it was after a famous match that shogi Master Sankichi Sakata (1870-1946) played against Ichitarō Doi in May of 1919, that it became popular and the opening started being named after him.
Overview
In a Double Static Rook situation following 1. P-76, P-34, 2. P-26, G-32, 3. P-25, Gote (White) opposes with ...B-33, 4. Bx33+, Gx33, and then by moving the rook along the 2nd. rank. There are strategies for both early fight and slow games, but still the emphasis is on constraining ( osaeru) rather than on exchanging pieces (sabaki) which makes it easy to handle in the center.
While counter-attacking by attacking Black's rook pawn is plain and simple, when in combination with Wrong Diagonal Bishop and others, it carries a big destructive power.

Kerststol is a traditional Dutch oval-shaped fruited Christmas bread. The yeast-based bread contains dried fruits, raisins and currants, lemon and orange zest, water, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. A more luxurious variety may include chopped walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts. Ginger powder or grated crystallized ginger, dried cherries and cranberries, apple, kiwi or cardamom may also be added to this pastry dough.
The dough, after resting, is filled with an almond paste (amandelspijs) log which is placed in the middle of the cake. The dough is folded over the almond paste lengthways and gently pinched to seal it. When ready, the cake is dusted with icing sugar before being served in thick slices, spread with butter.
Paasstol
There is a cake of this type also for Easter. Then it is called paasstol or paasbrood.

Play, within BDSM circles, is any of the wide variety of "kinky" activities. This includes both physical and mental activities, covering a wide range of intensities and levels of social acceptability. The term originated in the BDSM club and party communities, indicating the activities taking place within a scene. It has since extended to the full range of BDSM activities.
Play can take many forms. It ranges from light "getting to know you" sessions where participants discover each other's likes and dislikes to extreme, extended play between committed individuals that know each other's limits and are willing to push or be pushed at their boundaries. While physical activities are better known and more infamous, it also includes 'mental play' such as erotic hypnosis and mind games.
BDSM play is usually the primary topic of negotiation, especially for casual players and limited scenes. Most BDSM clubs and local communities offer classes and materials about negotiating play scenes. Play safety is a major topic of discussion and debate within BDSM communities.
Categories of play
Play is broken down into two broad categories, physical and mental. Physical play is better known and consists of the typical activities the average person thinks of as BDSM. As the BDSM scene matures and gains greater mainstream tolerance, mental play is becoming an increasingly noteworthy part of the community.
Physical BDSM
Physical BDSM encompasses all "kinky" activities that are carried out physically. Two of the best known examples are flogging and bondage. Extensive classes and workshops teach technical skills to carry out these activities competently, as well as safety considerations and protocols. This is the type of play most often seen in BDSM clubs and in media representations of kink. While often associated with sadism and masochism, many activities are not focused on or even involve pain. Non-painful sensation play and elaborate bondage done mainly for aesthetic purposes are prominent examples.
Mental BDSM
Mental BDSM is the collection of activities intended to create a psychological impact, often without a physical component. Recreational hypnosis is the most prominent example, with a well-developed international community. Another noteworthy but controversial example is the 'mind fuck', wherein a state confusion and/or psychological conflict is intentionally created. While mental 'players' have considerably less documented material to study, an active Internet community and classes offered through local groups and conventions provide many learning opportunities.
Types of play
Participants in BDSM typically recognizes different types of play, based on their intensity and social acceptability. These distinctions can be rather arbitrary and variant. What is considered edge play for a particular couple or local community may be merely heavy play, or even light play, for others.
Light play
Light play consists of activities that are considered mild and/or carry little social stigma. This especially includes BDSM elements commonly practiced by "vanilla" couples. Light bondage, slapping, and casual spanking are examples of light play.
Heavy play
Heavy play indicates elements that are intense and/or carry substantial social stigma. The bulk of activities undertaken by BDSM participants would be considered heavy play or as bordering on heavy play. Examples of heavy play includes caning, suspension bondage, and erotic hypnosis.
Edge play
Edgeplay is a term used for types of play that "push the edge." They usually involve a risk of physical or emotional harm. Breath play, knife play, gun play and blood play are all types of edge play. In males, restriction of flow of urine and semen may contribute to the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction.
Edge play can also literally refer to playing with an edge, for example knives, swords and other implements. It is sometimes used to describe activities that challenge the boundaries of the participants.
This type of play generally falls under the umbrella of RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink).
Safety and consent
Safety and consent in play are paramount considerations within the BDSM community. Various models of consent and negotiation are employed. Most participants consider it important to take responsibility for the safety of their partners. In addition, consent is typically what they consider to distinguish BDSM activities from abuse (or more specifically, intimate partner violence).

Playing career
Early life and university
Played for four Missouri state champion club teams as a member of the Wolfpack (1998) and Busch (2000–02) soccer clubs. Nobis attended Quincy High School. She led Quincy to three consecutive regional championships from 2000–2002 and finished as the schools all-time scoring leader with 107 career goals and 50 career assists.
She was recruited to and eventually enrolled at the University of Missouri. While at university, she was a student-athlete and played for the Missouri Tigers women's soccer team from 2002 through 2005. She was selected to the All-Big 12 Second Team as a Junior in 2004. She set a school record with 14 assists as a senior in 2005, and her 0.78 assists per game averaged in 2005 ranks fourth all-time in the Big 12. For her career, Nobis ranks second all-time on Missouri's career list in goals (32) and third in both points (93) and assists (28).
Professional career
In her first of two seasons (2006–2007) with the River Cities Futbol Club, Nobis was named 2006 WPSL Player of the Year and led the WPSL in scoring and total points. She scored 10 goals in 8 matches.
Nobis played in England in 2006 for Charlton Athletic L.F.C. and in Sweden from 2007 through 2008. Her first season in Sweden was spent with Danmarks IF Uppsala, where she appeared in 10 games and scored nine goals. The following season she joined Umeå Södra FF in the Damallsvenskan. There she notched three goals and three assists in 18 matches.
Upon the return of top-flight professional soccer to the United States, Nobis decided to return home. She was the 29th overall selection in the 2009 WPS Draft and her playing rights were assigned to Boston Breakers. In the inaugural 2009 Women's Professional Soccer season, Nobis played in 11 matches and scored 2 goals.

xeno-canto is a citizen science project and repository in which volunteers record, upload and annotate recordings of bird calls and sounds of orthoptera and bats. Since it began in 2005, it has collected over 575,000 sound recordings from more than 10,000 species worldwide, and has become one of the biggest collections of bird sounds in the world. All the recordings are published under one of the Creative Commons licenses, including some with open licences. Each recording on the website is accompanied by a spectrogram and location data on a map displaying geographical variation.
Data from xeno-canto has been re-used in many (a few thousand) scientific papers. It has also been the source of data for an annual challenge on automatic birdsong recognition ("BirdCLEF") since 2014, conducted as part of the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum.
The website is supported by a number of academic and birdwatching institutions worldwide, with its primary support being in the Netherlands.
History
xeno-canto, which translates to "strange sound", is a sounds-only project seeking to highlight sounds of birds, rather than images or videos. xeno-canto was launched on May 30, 2005, by Bob Planqué, a mathematical biologist at VU University Amsterdam, and Willem-Pier Vellinga, a physicist who now consults for a global materials technology company. At the time of the launch, the site held recordings of only about 160 species and originally aimed to collect recordings of birds from Central and South America.
Growth
xeno-canto has now become global, expanding its coverage to North America, Africa and Asia, and finally to Europe and Australasia. By 2017, the data collection showed significant growth, containing about 360,000 recordings of about 9,750 bird species (which is nearly 90 percent of all bird species). Nevertheless, the collection is still far from complete. There are about 1,000 missing species, and for many species, there are only a few recordings, meaning they lack the variation in repertoire and dialect that the species display.
Goals
xeno-canto aims to utilize the capabilities of the internet to improve the general popularity, accessibility, and knowledge of bird sounds. So far, the recordings on xeno-canto have seen use in a variety of different ways including being featured on the Aviation Information System of India, contributing to the STERNA project, and being included in a Norwegian University's database.
Since its founding, the website has set a number of set principles in order to keep the service community-driven. These principles include:
Anybody can contribute to the project. Aside from a few restrictions on the file size, users can upload any bird sound they find interesting. On top of uploading recordings, users can also write articles, comment on recording achievements, and even contribute to the website's code.
Recordings are shared. The Creative Commons licenses implemented by the website promote sharing. The bird sounds uploaded are intended to be re-used. Users can download individual recordings found when browsing or access the entire collection's database.
Recordings can be challenged. Fellow users can flag a recording as having an incorrect identification. The recording is then reviewed until agreed upon by the community, and the flag is reset by administrators. This process can vary in length, but most often takes a few days.

Advanced Renewable Energy Company LLC (ARC Energy) was a New Hampshire-based technology company that specializes in manufacturing sapphire growth furnaces and semiconductor scale technologies for the semiconductor and LED industries. It stopped doing business in 2016
History
ARC Energy was founded in 2007 by Kedar Gupta and Rick Schwerdtfeger.
President Barack Obama visited ARC Energy on February 2, 2010. He touted ARC Energy in his speech at Nashua North High School later that same day, "That is why jobs will be our number one focus in 2010. And we’re going to start where most new jobs do – with small businesses. These are the companies that begin in basements and garages when an entrepreneur takes a chance on his dream, or a worker decides it’s time she became her own boss. They’re companies like ARC Energy, which I visited earlier today. These folks are hard at work on a new manufacturing process for ultra-efficient LED lights that will make them affordable for ordinary people. The technology they’ve created is the only of its kind in the world. They’re this little business in a condo out on Amherst Street, and they have the potential to revolutionize an industry. Right here in Nashua."
ARC Energy was visited by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke January 27, 2011 and discussed how a more competitive America will help rebuild the economy, create more jobs and prepare the country for challenges ahead.
From the time of President Obama's visit to Gary Locke's visit ARC Energy signed several hundred million dollars worth of contracts and expanded its workforce over 300 percent.
In August 2015, ARC Energy became the first company to report repeatable growth of 300 kilogram Sapphire single crystals, having produced the first 300 kg crystal in April 2015, followed by the second one in July 2015 following the same semi-automated and repeatable process parameters.
Operations
ARC Energy developed a sapphire crystal “c-axis” growth technology specifically for LED applications, called CHES (Controlled Heat Extraction System).CHES Furnaces enable substrate manufacturers to produce large diameter (4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and larger), LED-quality sapphire for mass production.
ARC Energy also offers turnkey sapphire production solutions that include setup and installation, training, material handling, inspection, core fabrication and material recycling.

The Cape Cod Cubs and Cape Codders were a professional ice hockey team that played at the Cape Cod Coliseum in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts.
History
The Cubs started play as an expansion franchise in the Eastern Hockey League in 1972, the same year their home arena—the Cape Cod Coliseum—was constructed. An affiliate of the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins and New York Rangers, the Cubs were coached by former Bruin Bronco Horvath and they won the EHL's Central Division championship in their first year of play. When the EHL folded, the Cubs became founding members of the North American Hockey League for the 1973–74 season. A poor start on the ice and at the gate resulted in the firing of Horvath. Defenseman Mike De Marco replaced him on an interim basis until the team hired minor league defenseman Nick Polano of the Providence Reds to be player-coach for the remainder of the season. For 1974–75, the team changed its name, its affiliations and its coach, becoming the Cape Codders and signing working agreements with the World Hockey Association's New England Whalers and Cleveland Crusaders. Larry Kish, a former All-America defenseman at Providence College who previously had coached the Rhode Island Eagles and Suncoast Suns, was named coach. The franchise went out of business in 1977.
The Hyannis Presidents team in the movie Slap Shot was based on the Cape Cod Cubs, and featured one of its actual players, Mark Bousquet.

The Secunderabad–Shalimar Express is a Superfast AC Express train of the Indian Railways connecting Secunderabad (SC) to Kolkata Shalimar (SHM). It is handled by the South Central Railway zone (SCR). The train was announced in the 2012 Annual Railway Budget of India and its rake was rolled out in September 2012. The train stops at 14 stations en route, connecting major cities like Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar and Kharagpur. The train runs weekly. The train was flagged off from Secunderabad on 28 May 2013 at 11:00 am by Kotla Jayasurya Prakasha Reddy, the then Minister of State of Railways and Anjan Kumar Yadav, an MP from Secunderabad.
The locomotive links for this train have not been fixed yet but often the train is hauled by a Lallaguda-based WAP-7 or WAP-4 locomotive between Secunderabad and Visakhapatnam. Then, it is often seen with an Itarsi or Bhusawal-based WAG-5.
Overview
Since the train is fully air-conditioned, it has no unreserved coaches. It has 11 third AC, three second AC and one first class coaches. Along with two generator cars, it has 17 coaches in total. The train has no pantry car and offers no catering. The up train departs Secunderabad every Tuesday at 5:30 am and arrives at Shalimar every Wednesday at 9:05 am. The down train departs Shalimar every Wednesday at 4:05 pm and arrives at Secunderabad every Thursday at 7:00 pm.
The train has a total of 14 stops en route. The up train stops at Warangal, , Samalkota, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Berhampur, Khordha, Bhubaneshwar, Cuttack, Balasore, Kharagpur and .Also there is demand that halt at Eluru railway station have to be provided. Unlike most trains, this train has two rake reversals, one at Vijayawada and one at Visakhapatnam. Albeit the LHB rake, the average speed of the train is only 60 km/h. The train's rake remains idle over weekends, which resulted in it being used during May–July 2013 to run a special AC express train between Secunderabad and Visakhapatnam, the route with the highest demand in Andhra Pradesh.
Technical
The train is equipped with LHB coach. They are considered to be "anti-telescopic", which means they do not get turned over, if the train derails or gets involved in a collision. These coaches are made of stainless steel and the interiors are made of aluminium which make them lighter as compared to conventional rakes. Each coach also has an "advanced pneumatic disc brake system" for efficient braking at higher speeds, "modular interiors" that integrate lighting into ceiling and luggage racks with wider windows. The improved suspension system of LHB coach ensures more riding comfort for the passengers compared to conventional rakes. The air conditioning system of the LHB coach is of higher capacity compared to the older rakes and is controlled by a microprocessor which is said to give passengers better comfort than the older coaches during summer and winter seasons. They are relatively quieter as each coach can produce a maximum noise level of 60 decibels while conventional coaches can produce 100 decibels. Each LHB coach costs between Rs 15 million to 20 million, whereas the power car which houses a generator costs about 30 million.
Similar train
The South Eastern Railway (SER) also runs a train along this route with the same name along with non-AC sleeper coaches. The 22849/50 Shalimar–Secunderabad Superfast Express is a weekly superfast express train of the Indian Railways operated by SER. Since it is run by SER which is headquartered in West Bengal, the train's base is at Kolkata. The up train departs Shalimar every Wednesday at 12:20 pm and arrives at Secunderabad every Thursday at 3:00 pm. The down train departs Secunderabad every Friday at 5:30 am and arrives at Shalimar every Saturday at 9:05 am. The up train departs exactly three hours and forty-five minutes before the AC express. The down train shares the same times lot as the AC Superfast run by SCR.

Kwee Kek Beng (, 1900–1975) was a Chinese Indonesian journalist and writer, best known for being editor-in-chief of the popular Malay language newspaper Sin Po from 1925 to 1947.
Biography
Early life
Kwee was born in Batavia, Dutch East Indies on November 16, 1900. He received a Dutch language education at the in Batavia. Around 1915-17 he attended the (MULO) in Batavia and then a teacher training institute (). In 1922 he started working as a schoolteacher in Bogor, not far from Batavia.
Journalism career
While still working as a teacher in 1922, Kwee contributed writings to the Dutch-language . Impressed by his writings, Na Tjin Hoe, an editor at invited Kwee to work at the short-lived , a spinoff newspaper of focusing on local news. Even this junior position at the newspaper gave him almost double the salary he had been making as a teacher. He soon transferred to the editorial board of itself. When former editor-in-chief Tjoe Bou San died in 1925, Kwee Kek Beng was promoted to the position. That same year, he became vice-chairman of a union for Indies journalists, the , along with editors of , Perniagaan, Bintang Hindia, and other papers.
In 1929 he travelled outside of the Indies for the first time in his life, touring the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, following a few years later with his first trip to China in 1933.
Like his predecessors, he was also a strong Chinese nationalist. But, as with many other Indies Chinese intellectuals during the late 1920s and early 1930s, he also became increasingly sympathetic to the rising Indonesian nationalist movement. He was a close personal friend of a number of nationalist leaders including Sukarno, Sartono, and WR Soepratman. During the 1930s he served as an assistant at (Indonesian: Voice of young Indonesia), the magazine of the Partai Nasional Indonesia. He also used his position at to publish 5000 leaflets containing the score of the nationalist song Indonesia Raya, which were distributed with the paper in November 1928.
Shortly before the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, Kwee sent his relatives to hide out in Sukabumi. He himself planned to stay in Batavia under the assumed name Thio Boen Hiok, but soon found it too dangerous and fled to Bandung, where he spent most of the war. Shortly after his departure his house in Batavia was discovered and looted by the Kenpeitai.
After the war ended resumed publication and Kwee returned to his position. In 1947 he got into a dispute with publisher Ang Jan Goan, and resigned as editor-in-chief in 1947.
After Indonesian independence, he became a vocal critic of Indonesia's treatment of its Chinese minority. For example, he was co-writer of the in 1947 which documented abuses against the Chinese population by the Indonesian republican forces. Nonetheless, in 1950 Kwee became an Indonesian citizen. He spent most of the 1950s as a freelance writer, publishing prolifically, especially about China. He founded a monthly journal Java Critic in 1948, contribute to the monthly Reporter during the 1950s and was editor of the annual journal during 1956–60.
He died in Jakarta on May 31, 1975.
Family
His wife was named Tee Lim Nio. Their first son Kwee Hin Goan, born in 1932, became a well-known architect in Indonesia during the 1950s-1965 and in the Netherlands from 1966 to 1992. Their second son Kwee Hin Houw, born in 1938, became a journalist and lived in Germany from the 1960s until his death in 2016.
