Rana Abdelhamid (Arabic: رنا عبد الحميد; born May 6, 1993) is an American political candidate and activist based in Queens, New York. Abdelhamid is also the founder of Hijabis of New York and the Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment.
Early life and education
Abdelhamid is of Egyptian descent and grew up in New York with three siblings. As a child, she studied karate. Abdelhamid became a shotokan karate martial artist. She holds a black belt in Tai Chi karate and as a student taught young girls karate to combat race-based violence.
Abdelhamid attended Middlebury College as a Posse Foundation Scholar, where she majored in international politics and economics. At Middlebury, she and others organized a local chapter of Amnesty International USA. After graduating from Middlebury, she attended Harvard Kennedy School of Government after earning a Harry S. Truman Scholarship. She is a recipient of the 2015 United Nations Association of the United States of America Leo Nevas Human Rights Youth Award, and the Running Start Rising Political Star.
Career
She has spent her professional career working for Google.
Malikah (formerly Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment)
Abdelhamid first pitched her idea for a self-defense class with women teaching women to her imam at the Queens Community Centre when she was sixteen. This was after she had been attacked on the street by a man who tried to take off her headscarf. The class was rejected, but Abdelhamid continued to pitch the idea and held her first class for Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment (WISE) in 2010. Since then, WISE chapters have been created in other parts of the United States and internationally, in Edinburgh, Dublin, and Madrid. The program grew to incorporate a summer camp in New York called Mentee Muslimah. Abdelhamid describes creating WISE as "part of her 'healing process,'" according to Elle. She told National Catholic Reporter that so-called "hijab grabs" are a common experience for Muslim women. The organization has evolved to Malikah, a global collective of women committed to building security and power for communities.
Hijabis of New York
In 2014, Abdelhamid started a social media project called "Hijabis of New York" in order to "humanize and diversify the public narratives of Muslim women who wear hijabs," according to PBS. The project is hosted on Facebook and takes the form of interviews conducted by Abdelhamid accompanied by photographs from various professionals. In 2017, she and Maryam Aziz of WISE, along with Robie Flores and Alison Withers created a Self-Defense Starter Kit, which includes online resources and videos for Muslim women.
2022 U.S. House campaign
On April 14, 2021, Abdelhamid announced her candidacy for the 2022 U.S. House of Representatives election in New York's 12th congressional district against incumbent Carolyn Maloney. She was endorsed by progressive group Justice Democrats, as well as New York City Comptroller Brad Lander. During her campaign, Abdelhamid criticized incumbent Maloney for wearing a burqa in a speech to illustrate the oppression of women in Afghanistan. According to Abdelhamid, oppression of Afghan women is an "Islamophobic narrative" meant "to justify American wars" and that these individuals don't actually require support or "saving".
Abdelhamid withdrew from the race after new district boundary maps were released. According to the Jackson Heights Post, she stated in a press release,
She wrote that the newly drawn maps were “reminiscent of an ongoing legacy of noninclusive gerrymandering which continues to rob communities of interest like my own of the opportunity for representation.”
Personal life
Abdelhamid is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Carlo Cesio or Carlo Cesi (17 April 1622– 6 January 1682) was a Baroque-style painter and engraver of the Roman school.
Biography
Cesio was born in 1622 at Antrodoco in the present Province of Rieti, then part of the Roman States. He was brought up at Rome, in the school of Pietro da Cortona, and was employed in several prominent public works during the pontificate of Alexander VII. He painted historical subjects. He died in 1686 at Rieti.
In the Quirinal, he painted The Judgment of Solomon, and others of his works are in Santa Maria Maggiore and in the Rotunda. Carlo Cesio was also an engraver of some eminence; we have by him several plates after the Italian painters of his time. His plates are etched and finished off with the graver, in a free, masterly style.
Among his works as an engraver:
The Virgin and Infant Jesus with St. John; half-length.
St. Andrew led to Martyrdom, prostrating himself before the Cross; after Guido.
The Frontispiece to the book entitled Discorsi della Musica.
Sixteen plates from the Pamphili Gallery; after Pietro da Cortona.
Forty-one plates (1657) of the Farnese Gallery; after Annibale Carracci.
Eight plates of the Buongiovanni Chapel in the church of St. Augustine at Rome; after Lanfranco.
A book of anatomical drawings, published posthumously in German: L'anatomia dei pittori del signore Carlo Cesio

A Frutería or Mexican juice bar (Literal translation: Fruit-shop) is a juice bar that primarily serves Mexican desserts, beverages, antojitos and other popular Mexican snack foods. Mexican juice bars are popular establishments in many parts of Mexico and more recently in Mexican American communities in South-Western United States.
Structure
Mexican juice bars serve a lot of the same foods as the popular fruit and juice stands and roadside carts in Mexico. The advantage of a juice bar is that it can provide more menu items, refrigerate its ingredients, keeping them fresh for longer periods of time, and juice bars are also generally cleaner and more comfortable as they offer guests a place to sit down and enjoy their food.
Mexican juice bars can be stand alone businesses or part of a larger establishment like a carnicería (Mexican meat market). Mexican juice bars are also sometimes combined with panaderías (Mexican bakeries) or taquerías (Mexican taco shops).
Most Mexican juice bars attempt to promote healthy eating and as such, many of the items are healthy choices that involve fruits, vegetables and grains in some way or another.
Common menu items
Mexican juice bars can offer a variety of menu items. The following is a list of common desserts and beverages found at Mexican juice bars:
Aguas frescas
Bionico
Blended coffee
Chicharrónes (fried pork rinds with lime and hot sauce)
Diablitos (mango sorbet with chamoy)
Escamocha (Mexican fruit cocktail)
Parfait
Frutas picadas (chopped assorted fruits with lime and chili powder)
Helados
Jugos naturales (fresh fruit and vegetable juices like green juice)
Licuados
Malteadas
Mangoneada (raspado with chopped mango, chamoy, chili powder, tamarind and mango syrup and a tamarind candy straw)

The Microdot is a concept vehicle by William Towns for a small, economical town car. The car was first shown at the 1976 British International Motor Show and was an evolution of his 1972 Minissima car. The Microdot was a petrol/electric hybrid vehicle with a small 400cc petrol engine powering a 3.5 kW generator and, designed to carry three people side-by-side on short city journeys, with the driver sitting in the central position.
The concept car was eventually purchased by the Heritage Motor Centre.
Mallalieu Engineering
In 1978 William Towns collaborated with prototype vehicle builders at Mallalieu Engineering, Wootton, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, with a view to limited production. The Microdot prototype, built by William Towns on a cut-down Austin Mini chassis, was given opening doors and a longer nose, to accommodate the aluminium Reliant car engine, one of the smallest and lightest UK car engines then available, instead of the original hybrid proposal. Mallalieu Engineering was best known for making Bentley Specials, the Barchetta and Oxford, based on the Mark 6 Bentley.
Mallalieu attempted to gain external funding from the Post Office pension fund, but this was not forthcoming due to concerns raised with the Government's scientific advisor who attended the meetings, and the project stalled in 1980. Mallalieu Microdot (company number 01504509) was dissolved on 23 June 1987 and the project disappeared.
Design
Designers from film special-effects studios in London, who had created the original Star Wars spaceship interiors, created "alive" interior cockpit designs and motor industry experts from Lucas and Ever Ready advised on batteries, power-trains and instruments. Relying on 8-track stereo tape recordings by celebrities, it was planned that a Microdot would "talk" to its owner.

Robert Paul Hanrahan (February 25, 1934 – January 7, 2011) was a former U.S. Representative from Illinois.
Born in Chicago Heights, Illinois, Hanrahan was educated in the public schools. He attended Thornton Community College (now South Suburban College) in Harvey, Illinois from 1952 to 1954. He earned a B.S. at Bowling Green State University in 1956, and a M.Ed. from there in 1959. He was a teacher, administrator, and guidance counselor from 1957 to 1967.
Hanrahan was elected auditor of Bloom Township from 1965 to 1967. Hanrahan was elected Cook County Superintendent of Schools from 1967 to 1971. He was appointed Midwest Regional Commissioner of Education in 1971.
Hanrahan was elected as a Republican to the Ninety-third Congress (January 3, 1973 – January 3, 1975).
During his term, he helped Simas Kudirka, a seaman from the Soviet Republic of Lithuania, to freedom by political asylum. He quite literally jumped ship, clearing the three metre gap between the Litva and the Vigilant in order to escape. “I want political asylum,” Kudirka said to US sailors. Admiral Ellis insisted that Kudirka should be returned to the Soviets, if they asked for him. The Litva had intercepted some of the communications, and sent an official note asking for Kudirka in which he was returned soon after and into a Soviet prison.
Massive fallout ensues from the event, with Lithuanian Americans protesting in Boston, Washington, and Cleveland. The story quickly goes national and lands on the front pages of The New York Times. President Richard Nixon himself declared outrage at the return of the defector and orders an investigation at the State Department, which Hanrahan assisted with. Kurdika was not there long. A Lithuanian émigré living in New York had discovered in 1973 that Kudirka's mother was actually born in the city. This meant Kudirka could now claim American citizenship. The State Department decided to take up the case and ask for Kudirka to be released from prison. Two months later, Kudirka and his family flew out of the Soviet Union, and landed in New York being welcomed by congressmen, including Hanrahan.
He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1974 to the Ninety-fourth Congress, but became a deputy assistant secretary for education at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from 1975 to 1977. He served as president of RPH & Associates, Lake Forest, Illinois from 1977 to 1980, from 1987 to 1992, and from 1995 until his death.
Hanrahan was elected Lake County Commissioner from 1980 to 1982. He served as vice president of the Tobacco Institute, Washington, D.C., from 1980 to 1984.
He was executive director of the American Security Council Foundation from 1984 to 1987, and a consultant from 1992 to 1995. He was a resident of Vernon Hills, Illinois until his death from progressive supranuclear palsy at age 76 on January 7, 2011. He was survived by his wife Barbara, three sons, and nine grandchildren.

Large-scale Japanese migration to Indonesia dates back to the late 19th century, though there was limited trade contact between Japan and Indonesia as early as the 17th century. , there were about 11,263 Japanese expatriates in Indonesia. At the same time, there are also identifiable populations of descendants of early migrants, who may be referred to as Nikkei Indonesians or Indonesian Nikkei.
Migration history
Prior to the Tokugawa shogunate's establishment of their isolationist sakoku policy, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) were known to use Japanese mercenaries to enforce their rule in the Maluku Islands. One of Indonesia's early residents of Japanese descent was Saartje Specx, the daughter of Dutch colonial governor Jacques Specx, who ruled Batavia (present-day Jakarta) from 1629 to 1632. 1898 colonial government statistics showed 614 Japanese in the Dutch East Indies (166 men, 448 women).
As the Japanese population grew, a Japanese consulate was established in Batavia in 1909, but for the first several years its population statistics were rather haphazard. Their reports showed 782 registered Japanese migrants in Batavia in 1909 (with estimates that there were another 400 unregistered), and 278 (57 men, 221 women) in Medan in 1910. Between ca. 1872 and 1940 large numbers of Japanese prostitutes (karayuki-san) worked in brothels of the archipelago. Beginning in the late 1920s, Okinawan fishermen began to settle in north Sulawesi. There was a Japanese primary school at Manado, which by 1939 had 18 students. In total, 6,349 Japanese people lived in Indonesia by 1938. After the end of the 1942-1945 Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, roughly 3,000 Imperial Japanese Army soldiers chose to remain in Indonesia and fight alongside local people against the Dutch colonists in the Indonesian National Revolution; roughly one-third were killed (among whom many are buried in the Kalibata Heroes Cemetery), while another one-third chose to remain in Indonesia after the fighting ended.
In the 1970s, Japanese manufacturers, especially in the electronics sector, began to set up factories in Indonesia; this sparked the migration of a new wave of Japanese expatriates, mainly managers and technical staff connected to large Japanese corporations. In the late 1990s, there was also migration in the opposite direction; many of the Nikkei Indonesians from Sulawesi began migrating to Japan to work in the seafood processing industry. , there were estimated to be about 1,200 of them living in the town of Ōarai, Ibaraki. Furthermore, there was a large outflow of Japanese expatriates in 1998, due to the May riots and the associated political chaos. However, a decade later, the Japanese still made up Jakarta's second-largest expatriate community, after the Koreans.
Business and employment
The Japanese communities in the Dutch East Indies, like those in the rest of colonial Southeast Asia, remained prostitution-based as late as World War I. The remnant of this prostitution business can be trace in Surabaya's Jalan Kembang Jepun, "the Street of the Japanese Flowers", located in the city's old Chinatown. Prostitution was outlawed in the Dutch East Indies in 1912, but many Japanese women appear to have continued working in the trade clandestinely. However, by the 1930s, the economic focus of the Japanese community had shifted largely towards agriculture, marine industries, and retailing of imported Japanese products. More recent Japanese expatriates are typically investors connected with electronics manufacturing.
Social integration
Early Japanese migrants to the Dutch East Indies were classified as "foreign orientals" by the Dutch government. This status meant they were subject to restrictions on their freedom of movement, place of residence, and employment. However, in 1898, they were reclassified as "honorary Europeans", giving them formal legal equality with the colonisers and removing those restrictions. Yet despite this formal equality, local peoples' image of the Japanese people in their midst was still not very positive. During the World War II occupation of Indonesia, many Japanese officers took local women as concubines. Children born from such relationships, growing up in the post-war period often found themselves the target bullying due to their ancestry, as well as suffering official discrimination under government policies which gave preference to pribumi in the hiring of civil servants.
In Jakarta, Grand Wijaya Center and Blok M have clusters of businesses catering to Japanese expatriates, including restaurants, supermarkets selling imported food products, and the like; Blok M in particular is noted for its concentration of izakaya.
Marriage
759 Japanese living in Indonesia have the right of permanent residency; these consist primarily of Japanese women married to Indonesian men. In Bali the number of Japanese residents registered with the Japanese Consulate in Denpasar has increased from 43 in 1987, to 595 in 1995, and further to 1,755 in 2006 and 2,225 in 2010. The consulate receives an annual average of about 100 cases of marriage registration, with over 90 percent of them involving Japanese women who marry local men. It processes between 10 and 12 applications for divorce per year. Some met their husbands in the context of study abroad, either when the husband-to-be was studying in Japan, or when both were studying in an Anglophone country such as the United States or Australia. Others came to Indonesia, especially Bali, as tourists, and met their husbands there. Japan is one of the largest sources of tourists in Bali, and many Japanese women married to Indonesian men are settled there; one scholar who studied the phenomenon in 1994 estimated four hundred resided there at the time.
A large number of the tourists consist of young urban women; they see Bali not as an exotic destination, but rather a nostalgic one, evoking the past landscape of Japan and a return to their "real selves" which they feel are being stifled by life in Japanese cities. Among these, a few come first as tourists, especially to Kuta and Ubud, and then after repeat visits, marry a local man. In some cases, these visits take the form of "romance tourism" or "female sex tourism", with women entering into relationships with male sex workers, known colloquially as "Kuta Cowboys". They use Indonesian and Japanese, or less commonly English when communicating with their husbands, children, and grandchildren, but Indonesian far more commonly than other languages when communicating with other relatives.
Media
The Daily Jakarta Shimbun is Indonesia's only Japanese language newspaper. It was founded in 1998 by Yasuo Kusano, who was formerly the Mainichi Shimbun bureau chief in Jakarta from 1981 to 1986; he returned to Indonesia after the fall of Suharto, and, finding that many publications banned during the Suharto era were being revived, decided to found a newspaper to provide accurate, in-depth information about Indonesia's new democratisation to Japanese readers. Since then, its circulation has grown from 50 copies to more than 4,000.
Portrayals in Indonesian popular culture centred on Japanese characters include Remy Sylado's 1990s novel Kembang Jepun. Set during World War II, it tells a story of a geisha and her Indonesian husband who participates in Supriyadi's anti-Japanese uprising. It was reprinted as a full-length book by Gramedia Pustaka Utama in 2003. Another work with a similar theme is Lang Fang's 2007 novel Perempuan Kembang Jepun, from the same publisher, about a 1940s geisha who becomes the second wife of a Surabaya businessman. The Indonesian martial arts film The Raid 2 depicts a Japanese crime syndicate in Jakarta.
Education
Several Japanese international schools are in Indonesia. The Jakarta Japanese School is located in South Tangerang, Banten in Greater Jakarta.
In 2018 Cikarang Japanese Schhol (CJS) opened its doors in Deltamas, Cikarang.
The Bandung Japanese School (; ) is in Bandung. The is located in Surabaya.
The Japanese School of Bali is a supplementary school (hoshu jugyo ko or hoshuko) in Denpasar, Bali. The Makassar Japanese Language Class is a supplementary programme in Makassar, Sulawesi.
The , a day school, previously existed. A hoshuko in Semarang also closed.

In 1952–53, Rorabacher returned to Japan as a Fulbright lecturer at Tokyo Women's University. On her way home she made a trip around the world which included visits to Hong Kong, Siam, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Greece, Spain and Portugal.
In 1956 and again in 1959 she served terms as a member of the Purdue team at Cheng Kung University In Taiwan. She also served on the Washington. D.C., staff of the American Association of University Professors in 1956–57. Her special instructional field at Purdue was fiction and her special research was in the field of 19th century fiction. She took early retirement from Purdue in 1964 and joined the faculty of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where she taught until her retirement in 1969.
She died December 26, 1993, in Tampa, Florida.

CFAV Firebrand (YTR 562) is a in the Royal Canadian Navy designed by Robert Allan Ltd.
Firebrand is based in CFB Esquimalt, on Vancouver Island.
Her sister ship CFAV Firebird (YTR 561) was based in CFB Halifax and decommissioned in 2014.
Firebrand has three water cannons can fire water, supplemented by fire suppressant foam from her two 250 gallon tanks.
Her water cannons are capable of pumping a 19,000 litres per minute at 150 psi.
Although not operated as such, she can also serve as a tugboat, and has a bollard pull of 7.5 tons.
Design and construction
According to the Canadian American Strategic Review the class was designed by naval architects Robert Allan Limited, and were built at Vancouver Shipyards in North Vancouver in 1978, and later acquired by the Canadian Forces.
The two ships displaced and were long, with a beam of and a draught of . The ships were powered by two azimuthing Z-drives and one hydraulic tunnel bow thruster. This gave the vessels a maximum speed of . The ships had a crew of five firefighters.
The Fire class was equipped with three manually-controlled water cannons, two diesel-driven fire pumps capable of expending 2,500 gpm at 150 psi each.
Service history
On 4 December 2012 the Department of National Defence published an enquiry for Canadian shipbuilders interested in building replacements for the Glen-class tugs¸ and Fire-class fireboats. A single class would replace both the tugs and the fireboats, and would be operated by civilian crews. The replacement vessels would have water cannons that could be controlled remotely, by a single individual.

Hingol Dam is a proposed small, low-head, Central Core Zone, hydroelectric power generation dam of 3.5 megawatt (MW) generation capacity, located in the Lasbela District across the Hingol River in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. It is located at a distance of northwest of Karachi and about north of bridge across the Hingol River on the Makran Coastal Highway and about north of Kund Malir where the river falls into the sea.
Main Uses
With the construction of the proposed Hingol Dam, flood waters of Hingol River will be stored. Gross storage of the reservoir is 2.10
MAF of which an average of about 1.3 MAF water will be annually available for developing irrigated agriculture of the command area of 80,000 acres. This project will produce 3.5 MW of power generation with annual energy of 4.4 GWh.
Other Benefits
Damming the flow of Hingol River will save the flood water for irrigated agriculture development, power generation and water supply for drinking and other domestic uses. The project is poised to uplift the local community of the area by consequently rising the living standard of the people and generating novel employment and business opportunities. Such indirect benefits, however, cannot be quantified in monetary term. The direct receipt of the project will be available in shape of irrigation service fee (Abiana) and receipt of cost of sale of energy to consumers. The project would greatly increase the development of fisheries in the area and provide recreation and employment opportunities to the residents of the area. The estimated cost of the project will be worth US$311 Million. Out of which US$227 Million for civil works and US$28 Million for electro-mechanical works are required.
History
Feasibility studies for the dam were completed in 1992. However, due to various reasons including financial constraints and local opposition, the dam is still not constructed. In 2008, members of the Balochistan Assembly opposed the construction of the dam. The local Hindu community protested the construction of the dam as it will damage the historic Hindu temple Hinglaj Mata and would destroy the eco-system of the nearby situated Hingol National Park.
The proposed was shifted upstream to the original site to facilitate the demands to protect the temple, however since then due to financial constraints progress on construction of the dam is slow.
Protest by Hindu community
The proposed plan to build a dam in the Hingol River close to the Shri Hinglaj Mata temple shrine, which is a major Hindu pilgrimage centre in Pakistan. The dam would have flooded the accommodation roads to the temple and endangered the locality and its associated festivals. Following protest from the Hindu community, the dam proposal was abandoned by the Balochistan Assembly.
However, the Water and Power Development Authority of Pakistan initially suggested relocating three holy places to a higher elevation and guaranteed the
construction of a new access road. This proposition was rejected by the Hinglaj Sheva Mandali, which argued that these sites were not like common temples and could not simply be relocated.
In 2008, the lawmakers in the Balochistan Assembly reacted to the concerns and protests of the Hindu community and asked the federal government to stop the project. In 2009, following a one-year of suspension, the power and development authority chose to continue with the controversial Hingol Dam construction plans. However, they decided to shift the site of the dam a few kilometers north in order to protect the temple. This resolution was reached through a consensus among the Power Development Authority, the Balochistan Assembly, and the Hindu community.

Club career
Early career
Kobiashvili began his career in hometown club Avaza Tbilisi. His first professional club was Gorda Rustavi where he made his debut in the Umaglesi Liga in 1993. After spending two years with the Rustavi-based club, Kobiashvili moved to Dinamo Tbilisi in 1995. Under the guidance of famous former player and then-Dinamo coach David Kipiani, Kobiashvili became one of the key players of the club.
At the start of the year 1997, Alania Vladikavkaz declared their interest in Georgian midfielder. Dinamo Tbilisi let Kobiashvili leave the club on a season long loan deal. Kobiashvili joined a few of his compatriots there, including Mikheil Ashvetia, Giorgi Gakhokidze and Kakhaber Tskhadadze. He made 21 appearances for the club, scoring five goals in Russian Top League. Kobiashvili played in the UEFA Cup as well, scoring a single goal (against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk) in four appearances.
Moving to Germany
After spending a half season on a loan at SC Freiburg, Kobi signed a deal with the German club in 1998. During his spell with the Breisgau-Brasilianer ("Breisgau Brazilians"), Kobiashvili became one of the key players of Volker Finke's system. He was joined some Georgian players in Germany as well, Alexander Iashvili and Levan Tskitishvili his teammates in Freiburg.
SC Freiburg finished sixth in the 2000–01 Bundesliga season which granted them a qualification for 2001–02 UEFA Cup. This was the second time the club has ever participated in a UEFA tournament. SC Freiburg were eliminated in the third round by the future champions Feyenoord, on a 3–2 aggregate loss. Kobiashvili played all six games of the club during the tournament, scoring the only goal against the Rotterdam-based club. Eventually Freiburg got relegated from Bundesliga.
Kobiashvili decided to stay at the club and helped team to get another promotion to the top tier again during the following season. He scored ten goals for the club.
Schalke 04
During summer 2003, Kobiashvili's contract with Freiburg expired and he decided to leave the club. He received an offer from the future UEFA Cup winners CSKA Moscow. The coach of the Russian team, Valeri Gazzaev, was interested in signing the Georgian midfielder with whom he worked in Alania five years earlier. However, Kobiashvili decided to stay in Germany and signed a three-year deal with Schalke 04.
Kobiashvili became the starting member of his new club during the first season. Schalke coach Jupp Heynckes used him as a left-back. Upon the arrival of Ralf Rangnick, Kobiashvili was moved back to midfield, becoming one of the key links between Schalke's defence and attack. Two years after joining the Gelsenkirchen-based team, Kobiashvili extended the contract with the club until 2010. Schalke general manager Rudi Assauer declared that Kobiashvili was one of the best signings they had made in the last decade.
One of the best games of Kobiashvili's career came against PSV Eindhoven in 2005–06 UEFA Champions League season where he scored a hat-trick. Two of them were from penalty kicks. After the game he was praised by the manager Ralf Rangnick and teammate Frank Rost, who labeled Kobiashvili as a true professional, who was an example for them. Later this season, Schalke moved to the UEFA Cup, where the team reached semi-finals and lost to the eventual champions FC Sevilla.
During his career with Schalke, Kobiashvili won three titles: the DFL-Ligapokal in 2005 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2003 and 2004.
On 20 December 2009, he announced he would be leaving FC Schalke 04 to transfer to Hertha BSC. He joined his new club on 1 January 2010.
Hertha BSC
Kobiashvili completed a move to Hertha BSC in 2010, although the negotiations began a few weeks earlier.
Suspension
During a relegation playoff game against 2. Bundesliga team Fortuna Düsseldorf, Kobiashvili punched referee Wolfgang Stark after the final whistle. Hertha lost the playoff 4–3 on aggregate goals and was relegated from the Bundesliga as a result. Kobiashvili was banned for one year, retroactively beginning 16 May 2012. The German Football Association later reduced Kobiashvili's suspension for seven and a half months, to end 31 December 2012.
International career
In September 1996, Kobiashvili made his debut for Georgia, in a friendly game against Norway in Oslo.
In 2011, Kobiashvili became his country's first 100-cap player and received a special award from the UEFA. That game against Greece was the last for Kobiashvili's international career. He is still the most-capped Georgian player. Kobiashvili captained the national team for 16 times and has scored 12 goals during his international career. Two of them were scored in a famous win against Uruguay in 2006. Kobiashvili has also scored the winning goal against Croatia in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier in 2011.

The Webster Groves Public Library is a municipal library in Webster Groves, Missouri. It is a member of the Municipal Library Consortium of St. Louis County.
History
Early years
The oldest public library in St. Louis County, Missouri, Webster Groves Public Library originated in a small reading room opened by First Congregational Church in 1884. When the Church built a new sanctuary in 1893 it included a library and reading room that was open to the public. Eventually Church leadership decided that the reading room was not meeting its mission, and it was closed in 1908. Management of the library then passed to the Monday Club of Webster Groves. In 1911 Webster Groves residents William and Jennie Jager donated land to the Monday Club to erect a building, under the condition that it include space for a public library. The building was designed by architect Lawrence Ewald and built at a cost of US$6000, and opened on October 12, 1911. The library was managed by five volunteer assistants and a librarian salaried by the City of Webster Groves. It was open two afternoons and one morning each week and was also open to the Monday Club for meetings.
On April 5, 1927, the citizens of Webster Groves voted 2,887 to 551 in favor of a tax levy to fund the library, making it one of the first tax-supported municipal libraries in St. Louis County. At the time, the school board was building an addition to the Webster Groves High School and offered to include a space for the library in it. The public library remained in the high school from 1928 to 1951.
During the 1930s, a second library was established in North Webster with the help of Douglass High School Principal Howell Goins for access by African-Americans. Because the high school, like all high schools at the time, was segregated, African Americans were only allowed entrance to the library one afternoon a week. This second library at Douglass High School was staffed by a librarian whose salary was split between the library board and the Board of Education.
1951 Building at 301 E. Lockwood Avenue
Late in the 1940s the Library Board began planning for a stand-alone library building, and funds were raised through a bond issue that passed in 1947. A site was picked at the corner of Lockwood and Orchard Avenues, along the southern edge of the neighborhood known as Webster Park. The building was designed by the St. Louis firm of J. P. Hoener Associates, and the grand opening was held in October, 1951.
Over time, the library's services outgrew the space in this building, which was just under 11,000 square feet. Cubicles to house staff offices were built in the main reading room; Children's Services were moved to the Auditorium, leaving the library without a public meeting room.
From the late 1990s, various library boards at various times talked about an expansion plan for the building, but were met by the problem that the building was largely landlocked, with residences on most sides.
Another long-term problem for the library was the lack of sufficient parking. In 1999, the residence at 227 E. Lockwood, across Orchard Avenue from the library, was listed for sale. The library board voted to purchase this house and subsequently applied to the Webster Groves Plan Commission for a Conditional Use Permit to subdivide the rather large lot this house sat on, in order to build a parking lot at the southeast corner of Lockwood and Orchard Avenues. The plan occasioned some opposition in the community from people who did not want a parking lot built and did not believe that the level of traffic in and out of the library made it necessary. But the library board prevailed, and the parking lot was built. The residence, with its smaller lot, was then sold.
In 2003 another residence to the east of the library was listed for sale, and the library board purchased it, as well, hoping that a property contiguous to the library building could provide space for an expansion. This plan grew problematic, as the board began to realize the many impediments to using this old house, since its use as a public building required handicapped accessibility and new restrooms; however, the cost of razing the house and expanding the library building was unfeasible.
Library expansion
In February 2009, voters in Webster Groves approved a 13 ½ cent tax levy increase. Four and a half cents of that increase were meant to improve operating revenues, while 9 cents would fund the sale of bonds to pay for a renovation and expansion of the building at 301 E. Lockwood Avenue. The highly regarded St. Louis firm of Powers Bowersox Associates was hired for design work. The building they designed included all the requested components, including an entire second floor dedicated to children’s services and a meeting room where classes could be held and community groups could meet. But it also went the original plans one better by adding a lower level Computer and Reference Room, leaving the entire original Reading Room open for browsing and reading. The addition, clad in a glass curtain wall, was embraced as a striking and bold design statement by the city’s Architectural Review Board, though it met opposition from a small group of neighbors, who believed it clashed with the design of the original building.
Construction began in late 2010, but in late September 2011, the general contractor, Frederich Construction, Incorporated, experiencing severe legal and financial problems, defaulted on their contract. Their surety company, Travelers Insurance, stepped in and oversaw the hiring of a new general contractor, Demien Construction. Demien completed the building in December 2012, about six months after the originally planned completion date.

The 1986 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona during the 1986 NCAA Division I-A football season. They were coached by Larry Smith in his seventh and final season. The Wildcats ended the season with a 9–3 record (5–3 in Pac-10) and won the Aloha Bowl against North Carolina for their first bowl win ever.
A major highlight of the season was a 34–17 upset victory over rival Arizona State, that denied ASU an unbeaten season and chance at a potential national championship. The game also was known for Arizona returning an interception for touchdown that broke the game open.
After the season, Smith was hired by Pac-10 foe USC as the head coach (see below). He was replaced by Hawaii coach Dick Tomey, had a successful tenure with the Wildcats.
Before the season
Arizona finished the 1985 season with a record of 8–3–1 (5–2 in Pac-10) and tied with Georgia in the Sun Bowl. The team entered 1986 with high expectations, and had their live television ban lifted following sanctions against them from 1983. They were also eligible to be placed in the poll rankings in the season. In addition, the Wildcats began the year in contention for the Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl.

UCLA
Undefeated and eleventh-ranked Arizona visited UCLA at the Rose Bowl. The Wildcats led 18-0 earlier in the game and seemed like they would stay unbeaten before the Bruins bounced back to grab the lead before Arizona regained it the fourth quarter. With over a minute remaining, UCLA drove into Arizona territory and scored to retake the lead for good, and Arizona suffered a tough loss to the Bruins for the second season in a row and lost for the first time in 1986.
USC
On homecoming day, the Wildcats hosted USC in a top-20 matchup. Although the Wildcats (ranked 14th) would hang tough with the Trojans (18th), their offense didn't do enough to put up more points and fell short at the end. Smith would become USC's coach after the season (see below).
Arizona State
In the regular season finale, Arizona hosted fourth-ranked and unbeaten Arizona State in the annual rivalry game. Entering the game, Arizona State had already clinched both the Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth. The Wildcats defense shut down the Sun Devils’ offense for most of the game, including a goal-line stand in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, ASU, down 24–10, drove down the field and attempted to cut into Arizona's lead. Quarterback Jeff Van Raaphorst dropped back and lofted a pass to the end zone. However, Wildcat safety Chuck Cecil intercepted the pass and ran back the other way down the sideline for a 100-yard touchdown return to give Arizona a 31–10 lead that sent Arizona Stadium (and Tucson) into a frenzy. The play led to Arizona grabbing momentum and ASU would not recover from it for the rest of the game and the Wildcats went on to win by a score of 34-17 and gave the Sun Devils their first and only loss of the season and ended ASU's chances for a possible national championship. Arizona fans often declare Cecil's pick-six as the greatest moment in Wildcat football history and not just in the UA-ASU rivalry.
Stanford
Riding high on the momentum after its big victory over Arizona State, the Wildcats traveled out of the country to play Stanford in Tokyo in a special matchup. The Cardinal would narrowly get past Arizona, ending the regular season. This was the first and so far, only time in Wildcat history that the team played a game outside of the United States.
North Carolina (Aloha Bowl)
In the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii, Arizona faced North Carolina (whom, like Arizona, are best known for their prestigious men's basketball programs). The Wildcats played hard and defeated the Tar Heels to win their first-ever bowl game in program history (the Wildcats had been winless their previous bowl appearances, including a tie in the previous year). It turned out to be Smith's final game as Arizona's coach.

Season notes
This was the first season in which the Wildcats won in the postseason.
Arizona Stadium used a new logo at midfield, which featured a large red “A” with the words “Bear Down” (with “Bear” on the top of the “A” and “Down” on the bottom of it). “Bear Down” is the Wildcats’ motto. The logo would be used until the end of the 1988 season.
All three of Arizona's losses were by seven points or less. The team lost by a combined 19 points and came within at least 20 of finishing with a perfect season record.
The win over Houston remains Arizona's first and only win over the Cougars to date. The two teams would not play each other again until 2017–18, with Houston winning in both years.
Arizona and Colorado would play each other again until 2011, when Colorado joined the Pac-10 (which was renamed the Pac-12).
After this season, Arizona would not defeat Oregon on the road again until 2006.
Had the Wildcats defeated UCLA and got past either USC or Stanford, they would have finished first in the Pac-10 and made it to their first Rose Bowl and Smith would have remained Arizona's coach from 1987 onwards.
Arizona's win over Arizona State featured an interception return for a touchdown that officially went 100 yards by the NCAA. Wildcat fans would often refer to the play as “The Interception”, “The Interception Return”, or “The Pick-Six”, and would be known as the greatest moment for the football program. In addition, the play would often play on the Arizona Stadium scoreboard during pregame in later years.
The Wildcats won nine games in a season for the first time since 1975 and it was the most under Smith. Arizona's win total increased each year with Smith, as he rebuilt the program during most of the early-to-mid 1980s. The team won five in 1980, six in 1981–82, seven in 1983–84, eight in 1985, and nine this season. Prior to leaving for USC, fans thought that Smith would win ten in 1987.
An Arizona player was honored as the Pac-10 defensive player of the year for the second time, as linebacker Byron Evans won the award, joining Ricky Hunley, who was honored in 1983.
After the season
At the conclusion of the season, Smith left Arizona to accept the head coaching position at USC, due to the fact that the Trojans’ football tradition lasted longer than the Wildcats and that he would be offered more money since Los Angeles is a much larger market than Tucson, and that Arizona didn't pay him as much as the coach.
To replace Smith, the Wildcats hired Hawaii coach Dick Tomey, to take over the program (coincidentally, Arizona's Aloha Bowl victory occurred on Hawaii's home field). Arizona believed that Tomey would build a chemistry with the players and to help rebuild the team after Smith's departure. Tomey would build the Wildcats to greater heights, highlighted by a dominant defense in the early-to-mid 1990s. Tomey stepped down as coach after the 2000 season.

Djer (or Zer or Sekhty) is considered the third pharaoh of the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt in current Egyptology. He lived around the mid 31st century BC and reigned for c. 40 years. A mummified forearm of Djer or his wife was discovered by Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, but was discarded by Émile Brugsch.
Name
The Abydos King List lists the third pharaoh as Iti, the Turin King List lists a damaged name, beginning with It..., while Manetho lists Uenéphes. Jürgen von Beckerath in the Handbuch der ägyptischen Königsnamen (1999) translates the hieroglyphs of the name Djer as "Defender of Horus."
Length of reign
Although the Egyptian priest Manetho, writing in the third century BC, stated that Djer ruled for 57 years, modern research by Toby Wilkinson in Royal Annals of Ancient Egypt stresses that the near-contemporary and therefore, more accurate Palermo Stone ascribes Djer a reign of "41 complete and partial years." Wilkinson notes that years 1–10 of Djer's reign are preserved in register II of the Palermo Stone, while the middle years of this pharaoh's reign are recorded in register II of Cairo stone fragment C1.
Reign
Djer's reign was preceded by a regency controlled by Neithhotep, possibly his mother or grandmother.
The evidence for Djer's life and reign is:
Tomb in Umm el-Qa'ab, Abydos
Seal prints from graves 2185 and 3471 in Saqqara
Inscriptions in graves 3503, 3506 and 3035 in Saqqara
Seal impression and inscriptions from Helwan
Jar from Turah with the name of Djer
UC 16182 ivory tablet from Abydos, subsidiary tomb 612 of the enclosure of Djer
UC 16172 copper adze with the name of Djer
Inscription of his name (of questioned authenticity, however) at Wadi Halfa, Sudan
The inscriptions, on ivory and wood, are in a very early form of hieroglyphs, hindering complete translation, but a label at Saqqarah may depict the First Dynasty practice of human sacrifice. An ivory tablet from Abydos mentions that Djer visited Buto and Sais in the Nile Delta. One of his regnal years on the Cairo Stone was named "Year of smiting the land of Setjet", which often is speculated to be Sinai or beyond.
Manetho claimed that Athothes, who is sometimes identified as Djer, had written a treatise on anatomy that still existed in his own day, over two millennia later.
Family
Djer was a son of the pharaoh Hor-Aha and his wife Khenthap. His grandfather was probably Narmer. Djer fathered Merneith, wife of Djet and mother of Den. Women carrying titles later associated with queens such as Great One of the Hetes-Sceptre and She who Sees/Carries Horus were buried in subsidiary tombs near the tomb of Djer in Abydos or attested in Saqqara. These women are thought to be the wives of Djer and include:
Nakhtneith (or Nekhetneith), buried in Abydos and known from a stela.
Herneith, possibly a wife of Djer. Buried in Saqqara.
Seshemetka, buried in Abydos next to the king. She was said to be a wife of Den in Dodson and Hilton.
Penebui, her name and title were found on an ivory label from Saqqara.
bsu, known from a label in Saqqara and several stone vessels (reading of name uncertain; name consists of three fish hieroglyphs).
Tomb
Similarly to his father Hor-Aha, Djer was buried in Umm el-Qa'ab at Abydos. Djer's tomb is tomb O of Petrie. His tomb contains the remains of 318 retainers who were buried with him. At some point, Djer's tomb was devastated by fire, possibly as early as the Second Dynasty. During the Middle Kingdom, the tomb of Djer was revered as the tomb of Osiris, and the entire First Dynasty burial complex, which includes the tomb of Djer, was very important in the Egyptian religious tradition. An image of Osiris on a funerary bier was placed in the tomb, possibly by the Thirteenth dynasty pharaoh Djedkheperu.
Several objects were found in and around the tomb of Djer:
A stela of Djer, now in the Cairo Museum, probably comes from Abydos.
Labels mentioning the name of a palace and the name of Meritneith.
Fragments of two vases inscribed with the name of Queen Neithhotep.
Bracelets of a Queen were found in the wall of the tomb.
In the subsidiary tombs, excavators found objects including stelae representing several individuals, ivory objects inscribed with the name of Neithhotep, and various ivory tablets.
Manetho indicates that the First Dynasty ruled from Memphis – and indeed Herneith, one of Djer's wives, was buried nearby at Saqqara.

Peter Damian, OSB (; or ; – 21 or 22 February 1072 or 1073) was an Italian reforming Benedictine monk and cardinal in the circle of Pope Leo IX. Dante placed him in one of the highest circles of Paradiso as a great predecessor of Francis of Assisi and he was declared a Doctor of the Church on 27 September 1828. His feast day is 21 February.
Early life
Peter was born in Ravenna around 1007, the youngest of a large but poor noble family. Orphaned early, he was at first adopted by an elder brother, who ill-treated and under-fed him while employing him as a swineherd. After some years, another brother, Damianus, who was archpriest at Ravenna, had pity on him and took him away to be educated. Adding his brother's name to his own, Peter made such rapid progress in his studies of theology and canon law, first at Ravenna, then at Faenza, and finally at the University of Parma, that, around the age of 25, he was already a famous teacher at Parma and Ravenna.
Religious life
About 1035, however, he gave up his secular calling and, avoiding the compromised luxury of Cluniac monasteries, entered the isolated hermitage of Fonte Avellana, near Gubbio. Both as a novice and as a monk, his fervour was remarkable but led him to such extremes of self-mortification in penance that his health was affected, and he developed severe insomnia.
On his recovery, he was appointed to lecture to his fellow monks. Then, at the request of Guy of Pomposa (Guido d'Arezzo) and other heads of neighbouring monasteries, for two or three years he lectured to their brethren also, and (about 1042) wrote the life of Romuald for the monks of Pietrapertosa. Soon after his return to Fonte Avellana he was appointed economus (manager or housekeeper) of the house by the prior, who designated him as his successor. In 1043 he became prior of Fonte Avellana, and remained so until his death in February 1072.
Subject-hermitages were founded at San Severino, Gamogna, Acerreta, Murciana, San Salvatore, Sitria and Ocri. A zealot for monastic and clerical reform, he introduced a more-severe discipline, including the practice of flagellation ("the disciplina") into the house, which, under his rule, quickly attained celebrity, and became a model for other foundations, even the great abbey of Monte Cassino. There was much opposition outside his own circle to such extreme forms of penitence, but Peter's persistent advocacy ensured its acceptance, to such an extent that he was obliged later to moderate the imprudent zeal of some of his own hermits.
Another innovation was that of the daily siesta, to make up for the fatigue of the night office. During his tenure of the priorate, a cloister was built, silver chalices and a silver processional cross were purchased, and many books were added to the library.
Reformer
Although living in the seclusion of the cloister, Peter Damian closely watched the fortunes of the church, and like his friend Hildebrand, the future Pope Gregory VII, he strove for reforms in a deplorable time. After almost two centuries of political and social upheaval, doctrinal ignorance and the petty venality among the clergy had reached intolerable levels. When the scandalous Benedict IX resigned the pontificate into the hands of the archpriest John Gratian (Gregory VI) in 1045, Peter hailed the change with joy and wrote to the new pope, urging him to deal with the scandals of the church in Italy, singling out the wicked bishops of Pesaro, of Città di Castello and of Fano.
Extending the area of his activities, he entered into communication with the Emperor Henry III. He was present in Rome when Clement II crowned Henry III and his consort Agnes, and he also attended a synod held at the Lateran in the first days of 1047, in which decrees were passed against simony.
After this he returned to his hermitage. Damian published a constant stream of open letters on a variety of theological and disciplinary controversies. About 1050, he wrote Liber Gomorrhianus addressed to Pope Leo IX, containing a scathing indictment of the practice of sodomy, as threatening the integrity of the clergy. Meanwhile, the question arose as to the validity of the ordinations of simoniacal clerics. Peter Damian wrote (about 1053) a treatise, the Liber Gratissimus, in favour of their validity, a work which, though much combatted at the time, was potent in deciding the question in their favor before the end of the 12th century. Pope Benedict XVI described him as "one of the most significant figures of the 11th century, ... a lover of solitude and at the same time a fearless man of the Church, committed personally to the task of reform."
Philosophy
Peter often condemned philosophy. He claimed that the first grammarian was the Devil, who taught Adam to decline deus in the plural. He argued that monks should not have to study philosophy, because Jesus did not choose philosophers as disciples, and so philosophy is not necessary for salvation. But the idea (later attributed to Thomas Aquinas) that philosophy should serve theology as a servant serves her mistress originated with him. However, this apparent animosity may reflect his view that logic is only concerned with the validity of argument, rather than the nature of reality. Similar views are found in Al-Ghazali and Wittgenstein.
Damian's tract De divina omnipotentia is frequently misunderstood. Damian's purpose is to defend the "doctrine of omnipotence", which he defines as the ability of God to do anything that is good, e.g., God cannot lie. Toivo J. Holopainen identifies De divina omnipotentia as "an interesting document related to the early developments of medieval discussion concerning modalities and divine omnipotence." Peter also recognized that God can act outside time, as Gregory of Rimini later argued.
Papal envoy and Cardinal
During his illness the pope died, and Frédéric, abbot of Monte Cassino, was elected pope as Stephen IX. In the autumn of 1057, Stephen IX determined to make Damian a cardinal. For a long time, Damian resisted the offer, for he was more at ease as an itinerant hermit-preacher than a reformer from within the Curia, but was finally forced to accept, and was consecrated Cardinal Bishop of Ostia on 30 November 1057.
In addition he was appointed administrator of the Diocese of Gubbio. The new cardinal was impressed with the great responsibilities of his office and wrote a stirring letter to his brother-cardinals, exhorting them to shine by their example before all. Four months later Pope Stephen died in Florence, and the church was once more distracted by schism. Peter was vigorous in his opposition to the antipope Benedict X, but the force was on the side of the intruder and Damian retired temporarily to Fonte Avallana.
Milan
Around the end of 1059, Peter was sent as legate to Milan by Pope Nicholas II. So bad was the state of things at Milan, that benefices (a reward received in exchange for services rendered and as a retainer for future services) were openly bought and sold, and the clergy publicly married the women with whom they lived. The resistance of the clergy of Milan to the reform of Ariald the Deacon and Anselm of Lucca rendered a contest so bitter that an appeal was made to the Holy See.
Nicholas II sent Damian and the Bishop of Lucca as his legates. The party of the irregular clerics took alarm and raised the cry that Rome had no authority over Milan. Peter boldly confronted the rioters in the cathedral and proved to them the authority of the Holy See with such effect that all parties submitted to his decision.
He exacted first a solemn oath from the archbishop and all his clergy that for the future no preferment should be paid for; then, imposing a penance on all who had been guilty, he reinstated in their benefices all who undertook to live in celibacy. The prudent decision was attacked by some of the rigorists at Rome but was not reversed. Unfortunately, on the death of Nicholas II, the same disputes broke out, and they were not finally settled till after the martyrdom of Arialdo in 1066. Meanwhile, Peter was pleading in vain to be released from the cares of his office. Neither Nicholas II nor Hildebrand would consent to spare him.
Later career
He rendered valuable assistance to Pope Alexander II in his struggle with the antipope, Honorius II. In July 1061 Pope Nicholas II died and once more a schism ensued. Peter Damian used all his powers to persuade the antipope Cadalous to withdraw, but to no purpose. Finally Anno II, Archbishop of Cologne and acting regent in Germany, summoned a council at Augsburg at which a long argument by Peter Damian was read and greatly contributed to the decision in favour of Alexander II.
In 1063 the pope held a synod at Rome, at which Peter Damian was appointed legate to settle the dispute between the Abbey of Cluny and the Bishop of Mâcon. He proceeded to France, summoned a council at Chalon-sur-Saône, proved the justice of the contentions of Cluny, settled other questions at issue in the church of France, and returned in the autumn to Fonte Avellana.
While he was in France the antipope Cadalous had again become active in his attempts to gain Rome, and Peter Damian brought upon himself a sharp reproof from Alexander and Hildebrand for twice imprudently appealing to the royal power to judge the case anew. In 1067, the cardinal was sent to Florence to settle the dispute between the bishop and the monks of Vallombrosa, who accused the former of simony. His efforts, however, were not successful, largely because he misjudged the case and threw the weight of his authority on the side of the bishop. The matter was not settled until the following year by the pope in person.
Having served the papacy as legate to France and to Florence, he was allowed to resign his bishopric in 1067. After a period of retirement at Fonte Avellana, he proceeded in 1069 as papal legate to Germany, and persuaded the emperor Henry IV to give up his intention of divorcing his wife Bertha. He accomplished this task at a council in Frankfurt before returning to Fonte-Avellana.
Early in 1072 or 1073 he was sent to Ravenna to reconcile its inhabitants to the Holy See, they having been excommunicated for supporting their archbishop in his adhesion to the schism of Cadalous. On his return thence he was seized with fever near Faenza. He lay ill for a week at the monastery of Santa Maria degl'Angeli, now Santa Maria Vecchia. On the night preceding the feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Antioch, he ordered the office of the feast to be recited and at the end of the Lauds he died. He was at once buried in the monastery church, lest others should claim his relics.
During his concluding years, he was not altogether in accord with the political ideas of Hildebrand. He died the year before Hildebrand became pope, as Gregory VII. "It removed from the scene the one man who could have restrained Gregory", Norman F. Cantor remarked (Civilization of the Middle Ages, p 251).
Veneration
Peter Damian is venerated as a saint and was made a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XII on 27 September 1828 with a feast day which is now celebrated on 21 February (Ordinary calendar). In 1970, his feast was moved there from 23 February where it had been before.
His body has been moved six times. Since 1898, Peter Damian has rested in a chapel dedicated to the saint in the cathedral of Faenza. No formal canonization ever took place, but his cult has existed since his death at Faenza, at Fonte-Avellana, at Monte Cassino, and at Cluny.
The saint is represented in art as a cardinal bearing a knotted rope (the disciplina) in his hand; also sometimes he is depicted as a pilgrim holding a papal Bull, to signify his many legations.
Works
Peter Damian's voluminous writings, including treatises (67 survive), letters, sermons, prayers, hymns and liturgical texts (though, in a departure from many early medieval monks, no biblical commentaries) reflect the spiritual conditions of Italy: the groundswell of intense personal piety that would overflow in the First Crusade at the end of the century, and his Latin abounds in denunciatory epithets.
His works include:
His most famous work is De Divina Omnipotentia, a long letter in which he discusses God's power. The De Divina Omnipotentia purports to be a letter from Peter Damian to Desiderius, abbot of Monte Cassino. Peter develops a position he had taken in an earlier discussion with Desiderius on the claim of St. Jerome that, although God can do all things, he cannot restore virginity to a woman who had lost it. Desiderius had sided with Jerome; Damian had claimed that God could indeed restore lost virginity. In this letter Peter defends his views, an undertaking that takes him into the discussion of the scope of divine power, the possibility of God's annulling the past, and the problems that arise from using the language of human temporality to describe divine possibilities in an eternal present. The central question of the nature and scope of divine power is related to previous discussions of the question and to the more sophisticated debates of the later Middle Ages. Damian's apparent claims that the law of contradiction does not apply to God and that God is able to annul the past deserve recognition. In these discussions Damian shows himself the equal of any of the dialecticians that he so severely criticizes.
In the short treatise Dominus vobiscum (The Book of "The Lord be with You") (PL 145:231-252), he questions whether a hermit praying in solitude should use the plural; Damian concludes that the hermit should use the plural, since he is linked to the whole church by faith and fellowship.
His Life of Romauld and his treatise The Eremitical Order demonstrate his continuing commitment to solitude and severe asceticism as the ultimate form of Christian life.
He was especially devoted to the Virgin Mary, and wrote an Officium Beatae Virginis.
The treaty about sodomy and insiders of the Catholic Church called Liber Gomorrhianus
De Institutione monialis, which had the aim of safeguarding Western Christians from the decadent uses of the East. Notable in this work, among other things, Damiani, then Bishop of Ostia, condemned Maria Argyre's use of a golden fork to eat. Forks were a new invention at the time.

Ramon Sentel Foster (born January 7, 1986), nicknamed "the Big Ragu", is a former American football guard who played 11 seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He is the brother of former Rams offensive lineman Renardo Foster. He played college football at Tennessee where he played in a career total of 44 games and also earned All-SEC honors as a freshman and a junior. Foster is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
Early career
Foster started for all four years, both on offense and defense, at Ripley High School in Ripley, Tennessee and handled some placekicking and kickoff duties. In addition, he was a three-year starter on the school's basketball team and competed in track and field, achieving a career-best shot put of 45-11.
Professional career
Coming out of Tennessee in 2009, Foster attended the NFL Combine and participated at Tennessee's annual Pro Day. He was projected by many analysts to be drafted from anywhere from the sixth to seventh round or a priority undrafted free agent. He was rated as the 23rd best offensive tackle in the draft out of the 183 available by NFLDraftScout.com.
2009
On April 27, 2009, Foster was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He entered training camp competing to be a back-up guard against the Steelers' 2009 third-round draft pick, Kraig Urbik. Following an injury to starting veteran guard Darnell Stapleton during training camp, Foster gained the opportunity to become the starting right guard. He ultimately lost the starting job to Trai Essex and was named at backup guard and right tackle to begin the season. He made his professional regular season debut during a Week 3 contest at the Cincinnati Bengals. On November 29, 2009, he received his first career start in a Week 12 loss, to the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, after replacing an injured Chris Kemoeatu at left guard. Foster returned to the starting position on December 20, 2009, against the Green Bay Packers and remained there for the last three games of the regular season, as the Steelers ended with a 9–7 record and missed the playoffs.
As a rookie in 2009, Foster had four starts and played in 14 games.
2010
Although he finished his rookie season as the starting left guard, he entered training camp competing with Trai Essex and Kraig Urbik for the starting job. He was named the backup to starting guards Essex and Kemoeatu to begin the season and made his season debut in a Week 3 38–13 victory at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On November 14, 2010, he made his first start of the season, replacing an ineffective Trai Essex at right guard, in a 39-26 loss to the New England Patriots. He then remained the starting guard for last 7 games of the 2010 season. The Steelers finished atop the AFC North with a 12–4 record and Foster went on to start at right guard in a 31–25 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV. He finished his second season with 8 starts in 12 games played.
2011
Foster entered training camp in 2011 competing with Chris Kemoeatu, Doug Legursky, and Trai Essex for both starting guard positions. He lost the starting right guard position to Legursky but was named the starter for a Week 2 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. After sitting out the next week, he returned in Week 4 against the Houston Texans and remained the starter for the rest of the season. This marked the third consecutive year he began the year as a backup but finished the season as a starter; also marking the beginning of Foster being a mainstay on the Pittsburgh Steeler's offensive line. He finished 2011 with a career-high 14 games started in 15 games played.
2012
Foster was named the starting right guard after winning the job over rookie David DeCastro and started the Pittsburgh Steeler's season-opener against Denver Broncos. This also marked his first full season playing and starting at guard.
2013
He was moved over to left guard after the departure of Willie Colon and started all but one game throughout the season. The Steelers kept Foster out due to injury during a Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. On March 11, 2013, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Foster to a three-year, $5.50 million contract that also included a $900,000 signing bonus. They rewarded him with a new contract after showing promise the last two seasons.
2014
He started the Pittsburgh Steeler's season-opening 30-27 victory over the Cleveland Browns and started the following game. Foster then missed Week 3 and 4, after twisting his ankle during a practice. He returned to his starting role during a Week 5 victory at the Jacksonville Jaguars. He started 14 games in 2014, helping the Pittsburgh Steelers finish first in the AFC North with an 11-5 record. They went on to lose the AFC Wildcard game 30-17 to the Baltimore Ravens.
2015
Foster started at left guard throughout the 2015 season and started all 16 regular season games. The Pittsburgh Steelers finished second in the AFC North with a 10-6 record. After defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Wildcard, they went on to lose the divisional round to the eventual Super Bowl 50 Champion Denver Broncos. Foster had one of his best seasons after improving as a run blocker and surrendering only 31 pressures in all 18 games. He earned a grade of 82.3 from Pro Football Focus in 2015.
2016
On May 9, 2016, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Foster to a three-year, $9.60 million contract with a signing bonus $2.75 million. He started all 16 regular season games and surrendered only one sack throughout the whole season. Foster brought his streak to 46 consecutive starts in-a-row. Pro Football Focus ranked him the 24th best offensive lineman in 2015. He was also ranked the sixth best guard with an overall grade of 87.1 by PFF and the fourth best in pass blocking with a grade of 89.7.
2019
On March 7, 2019, Foster signed a two-year, $8.25 million contract extension with the Steelers through the 2020 season.

The inferior sagittal sinus (also known as inferior longitudinal sinus), within the human head, is an area beneath the brain which allows blood to drain outwards posteriorly from the center of the head. It drains (from the center of the brain) to the straight sinus (at the back of the head), which connects to the transverse sinuses. See diagram (at right): labeled in the brain as "" (for Latin: sinus sagittalis inferior).
The inferior sagittal sinus courses along the inferior border of the falx cerebri, superior to the corpus callosum.
It receives blood from the deep and medial aspects of the cerebral hemispheres and drains into the straight sinus.

"Shine On" is a song by American house music project Degrees of Motion, featuring vocals by Biti Strauchn and Kit West. It was originally released in July 1992 as a single from their album, Degrees Of Motion (1991), peaking at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart. Following a re-release in March 1994, it charted higher, peaking at number eight on the same listing. It also reached number one on the UK Dance Singles Chart same year.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as "a rousing, gospel-flavored pop/houser. Anthemic chorus is empowered by Biti's inspiring lead vocal and a rush of choral chants. Fast picking up club adds, this contagious ditty is a worthy addition to pop and urban radio formats." Maria Jimenez from Music & Media viewed it as "outstanding", adding that it "rides high on a positive tip charged by an up-tempo house beat."
James Hamilton from Music Weeks RM Dance Update called it a "frisky" and "striking Biti wailed snappy disco-garage canterer". Another editor, Andy Beevers, declared it as an "excellent garage song". Pete Stanton from Smash Hits praised the track, giving it four out of five. He wrote, "Little is known about Degrees of Motion. There's four of them and they've got names like ice-cream flavours — Biti, Kit, Bali and Mariposa. "Shine On" was released last year to nil effect. And that's a crime! This is fabulous dance track sort of thing that makes your arms wave around in the air like you just don't... oh, you know the rest. Come on Mr Charts — let this record into your house."

Sir Joseph Alan Meale (born 31 July 1949) is a former British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Mansfield from 1987 to 2017.
Early life
Meale attended St Joseph RC School in Bishop Auckland and studied at Ruskin College (in Oxford), and Durham University, his CV also mentions Sheffield Hallam University.
Meale's website lists his previous occupations as author, editor, development officer, trade union official, researcher, political adviser and journalist.
Parliamentary career
Meale entered Parliament on 11 June 1987 and made his maiden speech on 3 July 1987 in the Tourism debate where he commented on the poverty, lack of provision, opportunity and services in the Mansfield community.
Meale was a whip from 1992 to 1994 when he became Parliamentary Private Secretary to John Prescott in Prescott's different portfolios until 1998.
Meale served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions under John Prescott from January 1998 to January 1999. He became a government whip Council of Europe Delegation in 2007 and acting Leader of the UK Delegation in 2010. He has been the chair of the British Section of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Cyprus Group since 2007.
In 1998, Michael Ancram accused Meale of "cronyism" following allegations in The Sunday Times that he had lobbied on behalf of Anthony Kleanthous, the millionaire Greek-Cypriot chairman of Barnet football club. Kleanthous wanted to build a £14 million stadium on green belt land, 140 miles from Meale's constituency. The Sunday Times article said that Britain's Greek-Cypriot lobbying groups had paid for Meale and his wife to go to Cyprus and donated thousands of pounds to Labour. Meale denied cronyism, whilst Kleanthos insisted he had not donated to the Labour party and said it was "a bit racist" to link his business interests to Greek-Cypriot political lobbying efforts based on his ethnicity.
Meale was Vice Chair of the APPG for Cyprus, and was regarded by Greek Cypriot groups as one of their "oldest and closest friends in Parliament". According to Meale, he first became interested in the political situation in Cyprus back in 1987 when Tony Benn advised him to "pick a political issue and stick with it".
In the run-up to the UK referendum on membership of the European Union, Meale campaigned to remain in the EU.
Expenses
Meale was mentioned in the Parliamentary expenses scandal having claimed £13,000 over 4 years for gardening. The limit set retrospectively by Sir Thomas Legg was £1,000 /year. The Legg Report showed that Meale repaid £11,859.47.
Alternative medicine
Meale was one of sixteen MPs to sign an early day motion tabled by Conservative MP David Tredinnick regretting the British Medical Association's opposition to further National Health Service funding of homoeopathy.
Loss of seat
Meale lost his seat at the 2017 general election when Ben Bradley overturned a 2015 Labour majority of 5,315 to become the first ever Conservative MP for the seat. Labour had held this seat since 1923 and the constituency had been represented by Meale since 1987 – before Bradley was born - making the latter one of the youngest MPs elected, despite the acting returning officer wrongly announcing Meale as the victor.
Personal life
Meale married Diana Gilhespy on 10 March 1983, his second wife; he has a son and daughter from his first marriage in 1970. Meale was knighted by Prince Charles officiating at the ceremony in January, 2012, after the 2011 Birthday Honours list was announced, chosen for his "public and political service".

Peter Marshall (May 27, 1902 – January 26, 1949) was a Scottish-American preacher, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., and was appointed as Chaplain of the United States Senate.
He is remembered popularly from the success of A Man Called Peter (1951), a biography written by his widow, Catherine Marshall, and the book's 1955 film adaptation, which was nominated for an Academy Award for its cinematography.
Early life and education
Born in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, a poverty-stricken coal-mining community, where he was reared by his mother and stepfather. From 1916-1921 he studied electrical engineering at Coatbridge Technical School.
He enrolled in evening classes to study for the ministry, while working in the mines by day, but his progress was slow. In 1927, a cousin offered to pay Peter's way to the U.S., where he could receive proper ministerial training. He graduated from Columbia Theological Seminary in 1931.
Ministry
He was called as the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, a small, rural church in Covington, Georgia. After a brief pastorate, Marshall accepted a call to Atlanta's Westminster Presbyterian Church in 1933.
Marriage and family
In Atlanta, Marshall met his future wife, Catherine Wood, then a student at Agnes Scott College. They married on November 4, 1936, and had one son, Peter John Marshall (January 21, 1940 – September 8, 2010), who followed his father into the Presbyterian clergy and ran a national ministry, Peter Marshall Ministries, from Orleans, Massachusetts.

"Once More unto the Breach" is the 157th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the seventh episode of the seventh season. This episode received a Nielsen rating of 4.5 when it was broadcast on television in 1998.
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-managed Bajoran space station Deep Space Nine; the later seasons of the series follow a war between the United Federation of Planets and an empire known as the Dominion. This episode focuses on the Klingons, an alien species introduced as enemies of the Federation in Star Trek: The Original Series, but now allied with them against the Dominion; in the episode, the elderly Klingon warrior Kor hopes for a chance to end his life with dignity by serving honorably in the war.
The episode featured John Colicos reprising his role as Kor; J. G. Hertzler in his recurring role as the Klingon General Martok; and Neil C. Vipond, Nancy Youngblut, and Blake Lindsley in supporting roles.
Plot
The famous warrior Kor, aging and increasingly senile, has lost influence in the Klingon Empire. He comes to DS9 to ask his friend Worf, the only Klingon in Starfleet, for help in securing a posting on a Klingon vessel, and thus a chance for an honorable death in battle. Worf brings the request to General Martok, who angrily rejects it: Kor once rejected Martok's application to become an officer based on Martok's lower-class lineage, and the general still holds a grudge. As a compromise, Worf appoints Kor as the third officer of the Ch'tang, Martok's ship, for a raid into Dominion space.
Once aboard, Kor recounts old war stories to a crew enthused with having a living legend among them. However, this changes after the first battle, when Martok and Worf are temporarily incapacitated and Kor is forced to take command. Kor's senility causes him to relive an old battle and give inappropriate commands. Disaster is averted when Martok and Worf recover and resume command.
Kor's pride is severely hurt as Martok and much of the crew mock him. Worf is forced to remove Kor from duty, but blames himself for placing him in an untenable situation. Martok also realizes mocking Kor has brought him no pleasure. The pair agree to appeal to Chancellor Gowron to find a worthy and suitable place for Kor.
As the Klingons return to friendly space, they discover ten Dominion ships are in pursuit and will intercept them before they reach safety. Worf prepares to embark on a suicide mission in one vessel to delay the pursuers, and allow the remaining Klingon ships to escape. Kor learns of Worf's plan from Martok's aide Darok, a Klingon of Kor's age who is sympathetic to his plight. Kor's pride is rekindled when he realizes only his lifetime of experience can make the plan work. It is also the warrior's death he has longed for. Kor sedates Worf and takes his place on the mission, assuring Worf that when he reaches the halls of the honored dead, he will find Worf's late wife Jadzia Dax and tell her that Worf still loves her.
Martok and his crew observe the battle from the Ch'tang. Against the odds, Kor succeeds in delaying the enemy. Martok is the first to toast Kor's bravery, and the crew sing to Kor's victory.
Naming
The title "Once More unto the Breach" is derived from Shakespeare's play Henry V; it is one of several Star Trek episodes with titles based on Shakespeare.
Franchise connections
John Colicos first played the Klingon Kor in "Errand of Mercy", an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series first broadcast in 1967. On Deep Space Nine, he first reprised the role in the episode "Blood Oath", appearing alongside other actors who had played Klingons in The Original Series. His second appearance on Deep Space Nine was in the episode "The Sword of Kahless".
Reception
In 2012, Den of Geek ranked this the second-best episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
In 2013, Hollywood.com noted this episode as among the best of Star Treks Klingon content, highlighting it as a satisfying end for Kor.
The Hollywood Reporter ranked "Once More unto the Breach" as the 13th best episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Writing for Tor.com in 2014, Keith R. A. DeCandido gave the episode a favorable review, with a rating of 9 out of 10.

Urocanic aciduria is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme urocanase. It is a secondary disorder of histidine metabolism.
Symptoms and signs
Urocanic aciduria is thought to be relatively benign. Although aggressive behavior and mental retardation have been reported with the disorder, no definitive neurometabolic connection has yet been established.
Genetics
Urocanic aciduria has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and two copies of the gene – one copy inherited from each parent – are required in order to be born with the disorder. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive disorder both carry one copy of the defective gene, but are usually not affected by the disorder.
Pathophysiology
The amino acid histidine, when catalyzed by the enzyme histidase, forms urocanic acid. Disruptions in this pathway, caused by a deficiency of histidase, is the underlying cause of histidinemia. This results in reduced levels of skin and serum urocanic acid, the primary indicator of insufficient histidase activity.
In urocanic aciduria, increased urocanic acid in the urine indicates a deficiency of the enzyme urocanase.
With normal to only slightly elevated levels of histidine present in the liver during urocanic aciduria, the only true metabolic indicator of the disorder can be found in the urine.

is a manga created by Ayun Tachibana. It is a mixture of romantic fantasy which also fits into the kemonomimi genre. It is about Kogane Mikasa, a kitsunemimi (fox-girl), who is half-human and half-demon. She enters the human world via a shrine run by her aunt and uncle, and dedicated to her father. When she arrives into the human world, she encounters a trainee priest and heir to the shrine Jin Mikasa. Kogane forms a friendship with Jin after she kisses him. When they kiss, Kogane is able to achieve her ambition of turning into a human, albeit temporarily.
The series published five volumes published by Studio DNA in Japanese between November 26, 2002, and March 3, 2005. The work has been published in English, with the first volume released by Tokyopop on May 1, 2008, and the second in July 2010.
Plot
Jin Mikasa is the heir to the Mikasa shrine, currently seen over by his father and dedicated to Doukan-San. One day, a mysterious fox-girl called Kogane Mikasa appears at the shrine, who claims to be half-human and half-demon. She first stays with Jin and Sogo Aoyagi, a childhood friend of Jin's who is self-centered at times. Worried about Doukan-San discovering her, Jin and Kogane hide in Sogo's wardrobe, where they accidentally kiss. The kiss causes her to lose her fox-like appearances and turn into a human, something she has always wanted. However, the change is only temporarily and she needs to be kissed repeatedly to remain human. Also, she cannot use magic when she is human. Her fate is determined by who she marries, and she wants to marry a human, specifically Jin, and be human.
Doukan-San discovers where Kogane is hiding, but Jin is surprised to learn that she is Doukan-San's daughter, with him being a demon and his wife being a human. Jin is also surprised to learn that Kogane's mother is his aunt and that Kogane is his cousin. Kogane stays in the human world and learns to adapt to it. She eventually goes to Jin's school, where she meets Kanoto Okubo, another of Jin's school friends, and occult club member Sachi Usui, who brings Izume-Chan, a weasel-girl who was Kogane's long-time friend [currently angry at Kogane], to the human world.
Reception
Foxy Lady has had mixed reviews. Leroy Douresseaux from comicbookbin.com praised the art, but went onto say that, "For the most part, Foxy Lady is a comic fantasy romp, although there are many romantic moments. The narrative feels awkward when Tachibana tries to force this to be a fantasy romance and the pace becomes clunky with too many dry spots – more stops than starts. In the second half of this volume, the stories focus on fantasy scenarios with comic implications, rather than romantic one; then, Foxy Lady really starts to come to life. It will be interesting to see where this goes."
Nadia Oxford of mania.com was more critical saying, "Foxy Lady isn't terrible; it's just manga at its most typical. The jokes are stale, as are the character designs. With dozens of quality titles out there, there's simply no reason to pick it up. Thinking about it though, creating a mediocre title is worse than creating a bad one: bad books, movies and manga are acknowledged through word of mouth. Mediocre works just fade into obscurity and then fall into the bargain bin, which is the next dimension Foxy Lady is destined for."
Holly Ellingwood from activeanime.com was more positive about Foxy Lady, stating that, "Foxy Lady has a rich and glossy style that is imminently attractive. Being a romantic comedy, bordering on harem, it has excellent and gorgeous female character designs. But the artist doesn't shirk on the male characters either, giving them appealing detail and style as well. The illustrations are competent and confident enough that it makes the manga easily imagined as an anime due to its fluidity and high quality imagery."

Pampanga, officially the Province of Pampanga (; ), is a province in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines. Lying on the northern shore of Manila Bay, Pampanga is bordered by Tarlac to the north, Nueva Ecija to the northeast, Bulacan to the east, Manila Bay to the central-south, Bataan to the southwest and Zambales to the west. Its capital is the City of San Fernando. Angeles City is the largest LGU, but while geographically within Pampanga, it is classified as a first-class, highly urbanized city and has been governed independently of the province since it received its charter in 1964.
The name La Pampanga was given by the Spaniards, who encountered natives living along the banks (pampáng) of the Pampanga River. Its creation in 1571 makes it the first Spanish province on Luzon Island (Cebu in Visayas is older as it was founded by the Spaniards in 1565). The town of Villa de Bacolor in the province briefly served as the Spanish colonial capital when Great Britain invaded Manila as part of the Seven Years' War. At the eve of the Philippine Revolution of 1896, Pampanga was one of eight provinces placed under martial law for rebellion against the Spanish Empire; it is thus represented on the Philippine national flag as one of the eight rays of the sun.
Pampanga is served by Clark International Airport (formerly Diosdado Macapagal International Airport), which is in Clark Freeport Zone, some north of the provincial capital. The province is home to two Philippine Air Force airbases: Basa Air Base in Floridablanca and the former United States Clark Air Base in Angeles. Due to its growing population and developments, the Clark Global City is now developed and is located in Clark Freeport Zone. In 2015, the province had 2,198,110 inhabitants, while it had 1,079,532 registered voters.
History
Spanish colonial era
Ancient Pampanga's Territorial area included portions of the modern provinces of Tarlac, Bataan, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Aurora, Quezon (including Polillo Islands), and Rizal, i.e. covered almost the entire Central Luzon (Pampanga also included portion of Metro Manila, which is Valenzuela to be exact, which was formerly known as Polo, then a town in Bulacan). When the Spanish arrived at Luzon they found Pampanga to be thickly populated with several towns and that there were 3 castles or forts protecting Pamapanga. Pampanga was re-organized as a province by the Spaniards on December 11, 1571. For better administration and taxation purposes, the Spanish authorities subdivided Pampanga into pueblos, which were further subdivided into districts (barrios) and in some cases into royal and private estates (encomiendas).
Due to excessive abuses committed by some encomenderos, King Philip II of Spain in 1574 prohibited the further awarding of private estates, but this decree was not fully enforced until 1620. In a report of Philippine encomiendas on June 20, 1591, Governor-General Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas reported to the Crown that La Pampanga's encomiendas were Bataan, Betis y Lubao, Macabebe, Candaba, Apalit, Calumpit, Malolos, Binto, Guiguinto, Caluya, Bulacan and Mecabayan. The encomiendas of La Pampanga at that time had eighteen thousand six hundred and eighty whole tributes.
Pampanga, which is about in area and inhabited by more than 1.5 million people, had its present borders drawn in 1873. During the Spanish regime, it was one of the richest Philippine provinces. Manila and its surrounding region were then primarily dependent on Kapampangan agricultural, fishery and forestry products as well as on the supply of skilled workers. As other Luzon provinces were created due to increases in population, some well-established Pampanga towns were lost to new emerging provinces in Central Luzon.
During the 17th century, The Dutch recruited men from Pampanga as mercenaries who served the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, known as Papangers part of the larger Mardijkers community. Their legacy can be found in North Jakarta, however, there are few traces of their descendants, except for a small community in Kampung Tugu.
The historic province of Bataan which was founded in 1754 under the administration of Spanish Governor-General Pedro Manuel Arandia, absorbed from the province of Pampanga the municipalities of Abucay, Balanga (now a city), Dinalupihan, Llana Hermosa, Orani, Orion, Pilar, and Samal.
During the British occupation of Manila (1762–1764), Bacolor became the provisional Spanish colonial capital and military base.
The old Pampanga towns of Aliaga, Cabiao, Gapan, San Antonio and San Isidro were ceded to the province of Nueva Ecija in 1848 during the term of Spanish Governor-General Narciso Claveria y Zaldua. The municipality of San Miguel de Mayumo of Pampanga was yielded to the province of Bulacan in the same provincial boundary configuration in 1848.
In 1860, the northern towns of Bamban, Capas, Concepcion, Victoria, Tarlac, Mabalacat, Magalang, Porac and Floridablanca were separated from Pampanga and were placed under the jurisdiction of a military command called Comandancia Militar de Tarlac. However, in 1873, the four latter towns were returned to Pampanga and the other five became municipalities of the newly created Province of Tarlac.
Japanese invasion era
On December 8, 1941, Japanese planes bombed Clark Air Base marking the beginning of the invasion of Pampanga. Between 1941 and 1942, occupying Japanese forces began entering Pampanga.
During the counter-insurgencies under the Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1944, Kapampangan guerrilla fighters and the Hukbalahap Communist guerrillas fought side by side in the province of Pampanga, attacking and retreating the Japanese Imperial forces for over three years of fighting and invasion.
The establishment of the military general headquarters and military camp bases of the Philippine Commonwealth Army was active from 1935 to 1946. The Philippine Constabulary was active from 1935 to 1942 and 1944 to 1946 in the province of Pampanga.

The vice governor heads a legislative council (Sangguniang Panlalawigan) consisting of board members from the districts.
Provincial government
Just as the national government, the provincial government is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judiciary. The judicial branch is administered solely by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. The LGUs have control of the executive and legislative branches.
The executive branch is composed of the governor for the province, mayors for the cities and municipalities, and the barangay captains for the barangays. The provincial assembly for the provinces, Sangguniang Panlungsod (city assembly) for the cities, Sangguniang Bayan (town assembly) for the municipalities, Sangguniang Barangay (barangay council), and the Sangguniang Kabataan for the youth sector.
The seat of government is vested upon the governor and other elected officers who hold office at the Provincial Capitol building. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan is the center of legislation.
Court system
The Supreme Court of the Philippines recognizes Pampanga regional trial courts and metropolitan or municipal trial courts within the province and towns, that have an overall jurisdiction in the populace of the province and towns, respectively.

The law also created Metropolitan Trial Court in each metropolitan area established by law, a Municipal Trial Court in each of the other cities or municipalities, and a Municipal Circuit Trial Court in each circuit comprising such cities and/or municipalities as are grouped together pursuant to law: three branches for Cabanatuan; in every city which does not form part of a metropolitan area, there shall be a Municipal Trial Court with one branch, except as hereunder provided: Three branches for Angeles;

Mallow College of Further Education is a regional further education college campus of the Cork Education and Training Board, based in Mallow, County Cork in Ireland.
Originally established as Mallow Vocational School in 1932, it was relocated from the town centre to its current location in the 1940s. In 1990, it was renamed Davis College in honour of Mallow-born writer Thomas Davis. In 2001, the secondary school was moved to its current location in Summerhill and its further education section, originally just two courses (business studies and computer studies for adults and secretarial), took up sole occupancy on the "Annabella" campus at West End street where it remains today. In 2016, Mallow College of Further Education was given its own independent status as a college separate from Davis College.

Ilija Stolica (; born 7 July 1978) is a Serbian football manager and former player. He is currently the head coach of Niké liga club AS Trenčín.
Club career
Due to his promising performances at Zemun, Stolica earned a transfer to Spanish club Lleida in 1998. He played one season in Spain's second division, but failed to score in 18 games and eventually returned to his parent club.
In 2000, Stolica signed a contract with Partizan. He, however, failed to make an impact with the Crno-beli and returned to Zemun the following year. By the end of the 2001–02 season, Stolica became the league's second-highest scorer with 19 goals.
In the 2003 winter transfer window, Stolica was transferred to Ukrainian club Metalurh Donetsk. He managed to play only 20 league games over the next two years, before returning to his homeland and joining OFK Beograd.
Between 2005 and 2008, Stolica spent three seasons in Belgium. He played for Sint-Truidense and Mons, scoring 20 goals combined. He subsequently had two unassuming spells in Greece and Montenegro.
In March 2006, while at Sint-Truidense, Stolica and two other players were questioned by the police as part of an investigation into match-fixing.
On 30 July 2010, Stolica signed with Major League Soccer club New England Revolution. He scored three times in the remainder of the season. In April 2011, Stolica was loaned to USL Pro team FC New York.
International career
At international level, Stolica was capped for FR Yugoslavia U21, making three appearances during the qualifications for the 2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Managerial career
In November 2016, Stolica was appointed as manager of Serbian SuperLiga club Voždovac. He resigned from his position in December 2017, only to take over as manager of Vojvodina later that month.
In October 2019, Stolica was named as manager of the Serbia under-21s, taking over the team from Nenad Milovanović after poor start to the qualifications for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

In the New Forest a verderer is an unpaid officer whose duty is to regulate and protect the interests of the New Forest commoners, and to preserve the natural beauty and good traditional character of the Forest. There are ten verderers, together constituting the Court of Verderers (or Court of Swainmote).
The Court of Verderers
The Court has ancient origins but in its present form is a corporate body set up under the New Forest Act 1887 and reconstituted in 1949. It consists of ten verderers, five of whom are elected by the commoners, and four of whom are appointed respectively by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Forestry Commission, the National Park Authority, and Natural England. The remaining position is held by the Official Verderer who serves as chair of the Court and who is appointed by the Sovereign.
The Court has the same status as a Magistrates Court, and acting under its authority the verderers are responsible for regulating commoning within the Forest, for dealing with unlawful inclosures, and for a wide range of other matters relating to development control and conservation such as proposals for new roads, car parks, camping sites, recreational facilities, playing fields and so on.
The verderers also work to ensure the health and welfare of the commoners' animals, and to assist with this they employ five paid agisters whose role is to supervise the animals’ day-to-day welfare.
The Court of Verderers normally meets in open session once a month (other than August and December), at which ‘presentments’ may be made by any commoner or other person. These are oral or written statements such as a concern or a complaint relating to the Forest that the petitioner wishes the Court to deal with. Where the presentment relates to a contentious matter, the Court may order that counter-presentments be heard in open court at a later date.
The verderers work closely with the Forestry Commission, an appointee of which is a member of the Court. Some activities the Commission carries out or permits within the Forest may be subject to rights of common, and thus require the verderers’ consent, while in the case of other activities the Commission may have a statutory power to override those rights or to proceed subject to consultation. To avoid misunderstandings, in 2002 the verderers and the Commission concluded a Memorandum of Understanding to help the parties determine how to handle specific activities that the Commission proposes to undertake or permit within the Forest.
The New Forest became a National Park on 1 March 2005. It is managed by a government-funded organisation, the National Park Authority, which appoints one of the Court members. The verderers have a statutory duty (under section 62 of the Environment Act 1995) to take account of the purposes of National Park designation when making any decision which affects the Park.
History
In the 13th century the verderers were originally a court that was authorised by The Crown to deal with minor offences taking place within the Sovereign's Forest. Their powers were enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries to enable the Court to deal with trespassers, and acts such as breaking inclosure fences which were detrimental to the planting and preservation of oak for shipbuilding.
Under the New Forest Act of 1887 the Court was placed on a statutory basis, with the verderers becoming responsible for commoners, common rights, and the Forest landscape. The New Forest Act of 1949 gave the verderers additional powers to make and amend byelaws. Subsequent legislation of 1964, 1967 and 1970 has increased the range of issues the Court is required to approve or to be consulted on.

A three-day prison takeover and stand-off took place in 2018 between the Indonesian National Police and inmates convicted of terrorist activities who were imprisoned at the Police's Mobile Brigade Corps's headquarters (Mako Brimob) in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The inmates took control over one prison block and 6 police officers were taken hostages. As a result of the standoff, five police officers died, with one inmate dead after being shot by the police. Four policemen were also injured in the incident. The Islamic State claimed its fighters were in the standoff. Another policeman was stabbed to death at the headquarters of the elite Mobile Brigade police after the siege by a terrorist who was later shot and killed.
Chronology
May 8
Events began at 7:20 p.m, when an inmate complained that food brought by a family member was late. An IS leader, Wawan, incited the inmates to attack saying "the warden is a dog." By 8:20 p.m., inmates broke out of the holding blocks and attacked the investigation building, overpowering the officers inside. Of the 13 officers inside, seven escaped with injuries, but six officers were captured. Five were killed and one held as a hostage.
At 9:15 p.m., negotiations with police began, with police demanding the release of the hostages, unaware that five had already been killed. Police offered to treat two injured inmates and threatened to attack unless an agreement was made, but their offer was refused.
At 12:00pm, National Police spokesperson Brig. Gen. M. Iqbal confirmed the news, saying that the police were still handling the situation.
After midnight, pictures began circulating on social media, depicting several detainees holding firearms, a black IS flag, nursing wounds and holding hostages. Mako Brimob and surrounding areas were secured and civilians were prohibited from coming closer to the area. Brimob officers began to secure the surrounding streets, extending extra security to a nearby church and hospital.
May 9
At 1:30 a.m, inmate representative Abu Umar asked for permission to leave the Detention Center and meet with Aman Abdurrahman. Abu Umar’s request to meet the IS leader was conveyed to senior police officials who met with Abu Umar and were informed of the fate of their colleagues.
At 8:15 a.m., the inmate representative asked again to meet with Aman Abdurrahman to hear his judgement and reach a solution regarding medical treatment for two inmates.
At 12:00am, the five bodies of the police were retrieved.
At 3:35 p.m., police pressured the perpetrators to release the hostage by issuing a warning and agreeing to treat the wounded terrorists.
At 8:15 p.m., the inmates asked to meet again to convey their wish to meet Aman Abdurrahman and hear his fatwa. The representative of the inmates promised to release the hostage but feared that once the hostage was released “all of the inmates would be under attack.”
At 10:30 p.m., Densus 88 issued warning of an imminent attack on the prisoners. The representative of the inmates asked to meet with officers and told them they would release the hostage after speaking to Aman Abdurrahman.
At 11:15, the police hostage Iwan was released and brought to the hospital, after the prisoners request was granted.
May 10
At 1:30 a.m., police warned they would “attack within a short period of time.”
At 2:40 a.m., the inmates’ representative asked to meet again to convey intention to surrender.
At 5:30 a.m., the inmates’ representative asked for a meeting to convey the technicalities of the weapons handover.
At 6:45 a.m., the detainees left the Detention Centre and surrendered. Weapons numbering 26 units and about 300 rounds of ammunition were handed over.
Hours after the end of the siege, a suspected Islamic militant fatally stabbed a police officer at the headquarters of the elite Mobile Brigade police in Depok. The assailant used a hidden knife to stab an officer who was asking him about why he was near the headquarters.
Victims
The police have announced that five members of Police's Densus 88 counter-terrorism unit have been killed while another officer was held hostage, in a standoff between police and terror convicts since rioting broke out on Tuesday evening at the Mobile Brigade headquarters (Mako Brimob) detention center in Kelapa Dua, Depok, West Java.
One terror detainee was also killed during the incident after making repeated threats and attempting to steal a police weapon.
The Mako Brimob has been in lockdown since rioting broke out at its detention center on Tuesday evening, with local roads cordoned off and affecting traffic on Wednesday.
According to National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. M. Iqbal, the officers' bodies have been transferred to the National Police Hospital in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta.
The bodies have been identified as:
First Insp. Yudi Rospuji Siswato
Adj. Second Insp. Denny Setiadi
Brig. Fandy Setyo Nugroho
First Brig. Syukron Fadhli
First Brig. Wahyu Catur Pamungkas
Meanwhile, the police officer who was held hostage was identified as Chief Brigadier Iwan Sarjana.
Responses
Netizens were worried about Jakarta's former governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama who was serving sentence in Mako Brimob for a politically motivated conviction of blasphemy against Islam. Although the police reported him to be safe, they suspected that the attackers planned to attack him as well.

Buchanan Field Airport is a medium-sized general and business public airport in Contra Costa County, California, United States, one mile west of the center of Concord and just east of Pacheco in the San Francisco Bay Area. The airport's street address is 550Sally Ride Drive, Concord.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–15 categorized it as a reliever airport, and it has an FAA certified airport traffic control tower.
History
In 1942 Contra Costa County, California, purchased land for an airport in Central County for . The airport was being developed by the county until the United States Army Air Forces Fourth Air Force expropriated the site. The Army added land and built airport facilities and a training base for pilots, Concord Army Air Base.
In 1946 the War Assets Administration (WAA) returned the airport to the county. In 1947 the transfer was formalized and the airport was named for County Supervisor WilliamJ. Buchanan, who served on the county Board of Supervisors (BOS) for more than forty years. The airport continued to be used on occasion by the United States Army to transport troops, especially during the Korean War.
In 1972 George Lucas used Buchanan Field Airport for one of the last exterior scenes in the movie American Graffiti. In the scene, Steven Bolander (Ron Howard) says goodbye to friend Curt Henderson (Richard Dreyfuss) before Curt leaves for college on the Douglas DC-7C in the background.
In 1977 Buchanan Field reached its peak of activity with 357,000 total operations; by that criterion, Buchanan Field was the 16th busiest airport in the nation, ahead of San Francisco International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport. During this time noise became a concern and in 1988 the county BOS instituted a county noise restriction ordinance restricting certain aircraft from operating at Buchanan Field.
Beginning in the 1990s the county BOS updated the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan. Commercial development of adjacent properties such as Sam's Club, Taco Bell, Sports Authority, and Jiffy Lube was allowed in 1992. The county has developed a new airport in Byron in the eastern part of the county.
On August 14, 2018, the county BOS passed a resolution declaring the economic importance of these airports by recognizing that they are essential economic engines that aid Contra Costa County to meet the current and future transportation and economic needs of the community. The BOS further directed staff to proactively pursue innovation and sustainable opportunities to enhance the economic development potential of the airports, as they are capital assets to the county and an integrated transportation asset to the Bay Area region.
Airline and destinations
Current airline service
JetSuiteX started commercial airline service on April 19, 2016, with Embraer 135 aircraft.
Past airline service
Buchanan Field had commuter airline flights to San Francisco International Airport from 1969 to 1979 on Stol Air Commuter Britten-Norman BN-2 Islanders and Britten-Norman BN-2A Trislanders. In 1969 San Francisco and Oakland Helicopter Airlines (also known as SFO Helicopter) scheduled Sikorsky S-61s nonstop to Oakland International Airport continuing to SFO, up to five flights a day. SFO Helicopter had left the airport by 1975. In 1978 Stol Air had up to six flights a day to SFO; they ended in 1979.
Airline service returned to the airport in mid-1984: for less than a year, WestAir Commuter Airlines, successor to Stol Air, had eight weekday de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters to SFO. WestAir, then independent, left Concord before becoming a United Express airline.
Jet service arrived when Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) began nonstop BAe 146-200s to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on May 1, 1986. In 1988, after being acquired by USAir, PSA had four weekday BAe 146s to LAX with one continuing to San Diego. In 1991 USAir replaced the BAe 146s to LAX with USAir Express Dash 8s, then Beechcraft 1900Cs; these ended around the end of 1991.
In 1991 American Eagle Airlines (Wings West Airlines) had four daily Fairchild Swearingen Metroliners to American Airlines' hub at San Jose. American later shut down its San Jose hub and American Eagle dropped Concord in 1992.
Facilities
Buchanan Field covers at an elevation of . It has four asphalt and concrete runways: 1L/19R is , 1R/19L is , 14L/32R is , and 14R/32L is .
In the year ending April 30, 2022, the airport had 119,598 aircraft operations, an average of 327 per day:
95 percent general aviation, 5 percent air taxi, and less than 1 percent military and less than 1 percent commercial. 340 aircraft were then based at the airport: 284 single-engine, 30 multi-engine, 17 jet, and 9 helicopter.
Accidents
On the evening of December 23, 1985, a Beechcraft Baron N1494G, executing a missed approach from an instrument approach (IAP) to runway 19R, lost control and crashed into the roof of the Macy's department store at the nearby Sunvalley Shopping Center, killing the pilot and two passengers and seriously injuring 84 Christmas shoppers in the crowded mall, spraying them with burning aviation fuel. Four of the victims on the ground later died. The accident brought increased opposition to the airport and caused Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) to delay its flights that had been planned to start in January 1986.
Another plane crashed on April 13, 2004, shortly after leaving Buchanan Field. The plane landed on a minivan traveling down nearby Interstate 680 in Pleasant Hill and nearly severed the left leg of a 12-year-old girl. (Her leg was successfully reattached and she has made a near-full recovery.) Officials determined the crash was the fault of an aircraft maintenance technician who had worked on the plane.
On December 21, 2006, at about 1900 Zulu time, a 1989 Piper Malibu (PA46), registered as N1AM, crashed while flying the LDA (localizer type directional aid) approach into CCR. The aircraft was too low and hit obstructions on the ground. The plane hit the median of Highway 4, crashing between the highway and Marsh Drive just north of the runway. Three passengers were killed instantly, and another died after surgery.
On October 25, 2016, shortly after departing Buchanan Field, a Beechcraft Bonanza registered N364RM crashed into a hill near Kirker Pass Road in Concord. The two occupants, both pilots, were killed in the crash. No one on the ground was injured. The investigation was unable to determine a cause of the accident, although issues with a recent avionics upgrade were suspected.

The Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance (HKBORO), often referred to as the Hong Kong Bill of Rights, is Chapter 383 of the Laws of Hong Kong, which transposed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights so that it is incorporated into Hong Kong law.
Background
The Government of the United Kingdom ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) on 20 May 1976. The ICCPR was extended to British Dependent Territories, including Hong Kong, in the same year. Continued application of the ICCPR in the Hong Kong Special Administration Region was stipulated in the Sino-British Joint Declaration and Article 39 of the Basic Law.
After the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre in the summer of 1989, the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance was intended to restore the shattered confidence of the people of Hong Kong in their future. Amidst growing urges in society on giving effect to rights in the ICCPR in the domestic law of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Government decided to draft a Bill of Rights for Hong Kong to incorporate into domestic law relevant rights, as applied in Hong Kong. The Bill of Rights met strong opposition from the Chinese Government as soon as it was proposed. The Chinese Government regarded the Bill of Rights as unnecessary, detrimental to the maintenance of public order, and inconsistent with the Basic Law.
The objection of the Chinese Government had a profound impact on both the form and the content of the Bill of Rights. In terms of its content, in order to ensure the consistency of the Bill of Rights with the Basic Law, it was decided that, instead of drafting a bill which was tailor-made for Hong Kong, the Bill of Rights should simply incorporate the ICCPR as applied to Hong Kong. It had been agreed in the Sino-British Joint Declaration that the ICCPR as applied to Hong Kong shall remain in force after the changeover. The expression 'as applied to Hong Kong' was understood to include the substantive rights provisions of the ICCPR subject to the reservations entered by the United Kingdom upon her ratification of the same. Hence, Part II of the present Ordinance reproduces verbatim the substantive rights provisions of the ICCPR, subject to minor changes reflecting the fact that Hong Kong is not a sovereign state. Part III of the HKBORO reproduces, albeit in slightly different language, the reservations entered by the United Kingdom in respect of Hong Kong.
The Bill of Rights was introduced to the Legislative Council on 25 July 1990, passed by the Legislative Council in June 1991 and was enacted on 8 June 1991. Corresponding amendments were made to the Letters Patent to give the ICCPR an “entrenched status” in Hong Kong’s constitutional documents. After its enactment, any legislation which encroach the HKBORO would be deemed unconstitutional.
Structure
HKBORO contains 14 sections divided into three parts:
Part I (sections 1-7): provisions relating to the Ordinance's effect, remedies, and conditions under which derogations from the rights guaranteed in the Ordinance are permitted;
Part II (section 8): The Hong Kong Bill of Rights, incorporating text of relevant rights in the ICCPR as divided into 23 Articles; and
Part III (sections 9-14): provisions of exceptions and savings, reflecting limitations to the scope of ICCPR as applied in Hong Kong with the effect of limiting the obligation of the Government to recognise certain rights and freedoms.
Status in the hierarchy of law
Before 1997, the Ordinance overrides other Hong Kong legislations as provided by Sections 3 and 4 of the Ordinance.
Section 3(2) provides that all earlier laws identified as contravening the Ordinance are to be repealed.
Section 4 provides that all legislations enacted on or after the commencement date shall be construed in such way to be consistent with the ICCPR as applied in Hong Kong.
The HKBORO was given an entrenched status by an amendment to the Hong Kong Letters Patent which stipulated that no law shall be made after 8 June 1991 that "restricts the rights and freedoms enjoyed in Hong Kong in a manner which is inconsistent with the ICCPR as applied to Hong Kong." Any statutory provision which is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights was repealed on 8 June 1991, upon the commencement of the HKBORO. This led to the amendment of some Hong Kong laws so as to bring them in conformity with the HKBORO, for example the Public Order Ordinance.
Post-handover entrenched status
The Chinese Government objected to the entrenched status of the HKBORO; otherwise this would be a departure from the Basic Law since no legislation in Hong Kong prior to the change of sovereignty in 1997 enjoyed a higher status than other legislation. As such, Sections 2(3), 3 and 4 were not adopted as part of the laws of the Hong Kong SAR in accordance with the Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on 23 February 1997.
Even so, the entrenched status of the ICCPR (and subsequently the HKBORO) in the constitutional framework of Hong Kong continue with the effect of article 39 of the Basic Law, while the Basic Law itself consisted of provisions of fundamental rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents. The Court of Final Appeal has recognized that provision on rights in HKBORO continue to override contravening laws:
Significance
The enactment of HKBORO in 1991 provided the foundation for constitutional guarantees of rights and freedom in Hong Kong. Albert Chen Hung-yee described the enactment of the Ordinance as “the first constitutional revolution” in Hong Kong. Before its enactment, human rights protection was exclusively reliant on judge-made common law principles; courts were not empowered to conduct constitutional review of legislations for the lack of relevant provisions on human rights protection in the Hong Kong Letters Patent.
With the advent of HKBORO, the courts of Hong Kong embarked upon an era of meaningful constitutional review. In early days the Courts were concerned with whether pre-8 June 199l legislation had been repealed by the HKBORO for inconsistency. The period from 8 June 1991 to 1 July 1997 was described as one during which the courts of Hong Kong produced a valuable if not very large body of human rights jurisprudence and gained a useful six years of pre-handover experience of meaningful constitutional review.
After the Handover
Article 39 of the Basic Law creates a part of the post-handover tripartite framework on human rights protection, where:
Any restrictions on rights and freedoms stipulated the ICCPR (and subsequently the HKBORO) must be prescribed by law and justified, according to Chief Justice Andrew Li in Gurung Kesh Bahadur v Director of Immigration (2002) 5 HKCFAR 480. Subsequently, the proportionality test was developed in Leung Kwok Hung v HKSAR(2005) 8 HKCFAR 229:
Notable applications and case law
The HKBORO enabled Hong Kong to enter the era of judicial review of legislations. The practice of utilizing constitutional review of legislation flourished. Constitutional review principles like proportionality have since been developed.
The first Bill of Rights case, R v Sin Yau Ming [1992] 1 HKCLR 127, decided by the Court of Appeal concerning the presumption of innocence.
Restrictions on peaceful assembly provided in the Public Order Ordinance, such as that on the licensing system which required the Police’s consent in holding processions, was repealed by the Legislative Council in 1995 according to provisions in the HKBORO.
Leung Kwok Hung v HKSAR (2005): the Appellant challenged that the discretion of the Commissioner of Police to object to processions for the purpose of public order was too wide and contravened art. 17 of the HKBORO, and relevant provisions in the ICCPR and the Basic Law. The Court of Final Appeal further developed the proportionality test.
The HKBORO in some circumstances also imposes an obligation for positive actions to manifest rights provided in the Ordinance through enacting laws and adopting social policies.
in achieving the rights to privacy as provided in article 14 of the HKBORO, the Hong Kong Government enacted the Interception of Communications and Surveillance Ordinance (Cap. 589) in 2006, following the judgment in Koo Sze Yiu v Chief Executive of the HKSAR (2006) which called for appropriate restrictions on the government’s interception of communications.

Edward Yechezkel Kutscher or Yechezkel Kutscher (; 1 June 1909 – 12 December 1971) was an Israeli philologist and Hebrew linguist.
Biography
Kutscher was born in 1909 in Topoľčany, Slovakia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He studied at the yeshiva in his home town and, later, in Frankfurt. In 1931 he emigrated to Mandatory Palestine and continued with his studies at the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva and at a Mizrachi Movement teachers seminary. For several years subsequently, he taught at various schools in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
In 1941, he completed his studies in Hebrew linguistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and, in 1949, began lecturing in linguistics at the Hebrew University, which he continued to do until his death. In 1960 he was appointed a professor. In 1958 he also started lecturing at Bar-Ilan University.
For many years Kutscher was a member of the Academy of the Hebrew Language and its predecessor, the Hebrew Language Committee (Vaʻad ha-lashon ha-ʻIvrit). In 1965 he was appointed editor of the periodical Leshonenu ("Our Language").
Kutscher was regarded as "probably the greatest living authority on Aramaic until his death in 1971." His research work included the study of different Mishnaic Hebrew scripts, including the Kaufmann Manuscript and Dead Sea Scrolls. His work revealed the Kaufmann Manuscript to be most authentic of the Mishnah.
Awards
In 1961, Kutscher was awarded the Israel Prize, for the humanities.

Frederiksholms Kanal 16–18 are two almost identical listed properties overlooking Frederiksholm Canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The Victorian Home, a 15-room, late 19th-century bourgeois home now operated as a historic house museum by the National Museum of Denmark, is located on the second floor of No. 18. The Attorney general (Rigsadvokaten) is based at No. 16. Both buildings were listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places by the Danish Heritage Agency on 6 April 1969.
History
Plessen's Mansion
The property on the site was listed in the Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 285 in the city's West Quarter, owned by customs inspector (toldforvalter) Laurids Eskildsen. The property was shortly thereafter sold to Christian Siegfred von Plessen (1646-1723)- In the 1690s, he constructed a large tpwn mansion with a Baroque garden on the rear. The property was after his death passed on to his son Ludvig von Plessen. His property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 asNo. 325 in the West Quarter. It was a two-storey building, with a long main wing along the canal and two secondary wings extending from its rear side along each their side of a central courtyard. It had a large garden, which occupied the entire central part of the block.
Knuth of Lyche
The property was later owned by the Knuth family. It was known as the Knuthske Hotel (The Knuth Hotel), indicating that the apartments were let out (probably to foreign diplomats etx).
In 1779, Knith's Mansion was acquired by supercargo in the Danish Asiatic Company Søren Lyche. He was later elected as one of the directors of the Danish Asiatic Company. He had previously owned the Cort Adeler House in Xhristianshavn.
18001850
The property was at some point acquired by the businessman Caspar Peter Bügel. His property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 243. He had also purchased the country house Bon Esperence in Charlottenlund. In 1809, he also acquired Ringsted Abbey for 330,000 Danish rigsdaler.
The next owner, Jens Lund, another merchant, constructed a couple of warehouses around the corner in Ny Vestergade. A free mason's lodge, Zorobabel af Nordstjernen, was based in the building in the 1790s. In the middle of the 19th century it had fallen into despair
The property was later acquired by Det Forenede Borgerlige Selskab (founded in 1821), a merger of Dreyer's Club and a number of other clubs. Jean Baptist Oluf Gamél (1812-1886), a chef who acted as club host, resided on the first floor of the building at the time of the 1840 census. He lived there with his with his wife Andrine Cassine Gamel (née Stockfleth), their two children (aged one and two), two male servants and three maids.
Cassabadan and the new buildings
The neglected building was acquired by Alphonse Cassabadan. He had recently retired from his position as head chef for king Christian VIII. In 1851, No. 242 was divided into No. 242A (now Frederiksholms Kanal 16), No. 242B (Frederiksholms Kanal 18). Cassabadan charged the architect Harald Conrad Stilling with transforming it into two separate apartment buildings in 1851–1852. Stilling added two extra floors. Cassabadan opened a bar in the basement of No. 242B.
The theologian N.F.S. Grundtvig and ballet master August Bournonville were both anong the residents of the buildings in the building from 1852 to 1855. Count H. A. Reventlow-Criminil (1798-1869) was a resident in No. 242A in 1853.
The two buildings were listed as Frederiksholms Kanal 16 and Frederiksholms Kanal 18 when in 1859 house numberuing (by street) was introduced as a supplement to the old cadastral numbers (by district).
Frederiksholms Kanal 16, 1859present
The businessman (grosserer) J. Bernburg resided in one of the apartments in the 1890s.
Frederiksholms Kanal 18, 1859present
George Quaade, who had been appointed to Minister of Education on 1 July 1864, lived at No. 18 in 1865. The publisher and Venstre politician Christen Berg (1829-1891), lived in the ground floor of No. 18 in 1885–1886. The writer and educator Johan Krohn (1841-1925) from 1875 to 1879.
Nr. 18 was acquired by the grocer Rudolph Christensen (1849-1925) in 1886 . He was the joint owner of the ribbon factory Christensen og Hansen. The company had a shop on Østergade. Christensen undertook a major renovation of the building. The Christensen family's own home, a 15-room apartment, was located on the second floor. The two daughters Gerda and Ellen Christensen lived in the apartment until 1963 and left it with all its furnishings to the National Museum of Denmark.
Architecture
Rach building consists of four storeys over a high cellar and a Mansard roof. They are six bays wide. Both buildings have a balcony at each of the outer bays on the first floor and No. 16 has an additional balcony in front of the two central bays on the top floor.
The interior of the two gateways are decorated with a copy of Bertel Thorvaldsen's Alexander frieze. The 35-metre-long and one-metre-tall relief frieze was originally commissioned for the popal Palazzo del Quirinale in 1912 in connection with Napoleon's planned visit to the city. It was completed in just three months.
The walls of the staircase at No. 18 are richly decorated with murals created for Rudolph Christensen in the 1890s by C.W. Juulmann & Søn in Nørregade. The decorations include imitated marble panels and sandstone pilasters and painted ornaments. The landings feature murals of landscapes and houses. One of them is of the Christensens family's first country house at Jægersborg Allé.
Today
The Attorney general (Rigsadvokaten) is based at No. 16. The Christensen family's 15-room apartment, now known as the Victorian Home (Daish: Klunkehjemmet), can only be visited on guided tours. Guided tours in English are available on Saturdays at 14:00 from June through September.
