Q16595677 Gustafva "Stafva" Carolina Lindskog (1794-1851), was a Swedish athlete. She was a pioneer within the field of physical education of females in Sweden, and likely the first female teacher in physical education of her country.Lindskog was the great granddaughter of the merchant Gustaf Lindskog in Stockholm. In 1818, she was appointed instructor in the first class of physical education for females, as the head of the gymnastic for women at Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan. Formally, she was not referred to as an instructor and teacher but merely as replacement for the male teacher P H Ling and called "Movement Giver". It was in fact not until 1849 that she was formally given the title of ordinary teacher at the institute. This was one year after the first female, Greta Stina Bohm, had become a master of swimming, followed by the pioneer Nancy Edberg. Lindskog was the first female to be employed by the state as a teacher and instructor in Physical therapy. She was succeeded in her position by her pupil Hildur Ling in 1851.

The one-member Chittenden-5-2 District had a population of 3,776 in that same census, 6.97% below the state average.
Q819159 The Bereza Kartuska prison (Polish: Miejsce Odosobnienia w Berezie Kartuskiej, literally "Place of Isolation at Bereza Kartuska") was a Detention Camp in the Second Polish Republic, based in Bereza Kartuska, Polesie Voivodeship (today Biaroza in Belarus).It was established in 1934 by the Polish Sanation government for the purpose of isolating and tormenting both psychically and physically political opponents, including National Democrats, communists, members of the Polish People's Party, as well as Ukrainian and Belarusian nationalists. The prisoners were sent to the camp on the basis of an administrative decision, without formal charges, judicial sanction or trial, and without the possibility of using an appeal. The use of torture was a permanent element in the treatment of prisoners. Detainees were supposed to perform penal labour, and at least 13 people died during their stay. Several academics and authors referred to Bereza Kartuska as an "internment camp".Created on June 17, 1934 by an order of President Ignacy Mościcki, the camp was officially established to detain people who were viewed by the Polish state as a "threat to security, peace and social order". The prisoners were detained for the time of three months with the possibility of prolonging the detention indefinitely. Beside the political prisoners, starting from October 1937, "notorious" and financial criminals were also sent to the camp.The camp de facto ceased to exist on the night of September 17–18, 1939 after the Soviet invasion of Poland, the detainees were released, and staff abandoned the facility.

Q8543350 The Russo-Persian Wars or Russo-Iranian Wars were a series of wars fought between the Russian Empire and the Persian Empire between the 17th and 19th centuries. As Russia grew in power, it started to contest the hegemony of Ottoman Turkey and Safavid Iran (followed by Afsharid and Qajar Iran) in the Black Sea region, Caspian Sea region, and most importantly, the Caucasus. All the Russo-Persian Wars therefore concerned the Caucasus region. Throughout its history, Transcaucasia (comprising modern day Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia) and large parts of Dagestan were usually incorporated into the Iranian world. During the course of the 19th century, the Russian Empire conquered the territory from Qajar Iran. The most important of the Russo-Persian Wars were:

Q6819028 Meremere Power Station is a former coal-fired power station on the Waikato River at Meremere, approximately 64 kilometres (40 mi) south of Auckland, New Zealand. Meremere was the first major coal-fired power station in New Zealand, and was commissioned to help meet the increasing electricity demands of New Zealand, and especially Auckland, following World War II.The first six 30MW units were commissioned in 1958. The commissioning of Meremere, and Atiamuri Dam further upstream on the Waikato River, meant post-war electricity restrictions were finally lifted in December that year. An additional seventh unit commissioned in 1967.Two-thirds of Meremere's annual 800,000-tonne coal requirements was met by the nearby Maramarua coalfield, with coal delivered to the power station by a twin aerial ropeway. The remaining one-third of coal came from other mines, and was railed to Meremere via a private siding off the North Island Main Trunk.Meremere was decommissioned in 1991 after 33 years in service.

Q15793248 In geometry, the bundle theorem is in the simplest case a statement on six circles and eight points in the real Euclidean plane. In general it is a property of a Möbius plane that is fulfilled by ovoidal Möbius planes only.The bundle theorem should not be confused with Miquel's theorem.An ovoidal Möbius plane in real Euclidean space may be considered as the geometry of the plane sections of an egglike surface, like a sphere or an ellipsoid or a half of a sphere glued to a suitable half of an ellipsoid or the surface with equation x 4 + y 4 + z 4 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{4}+y^{4}+z^{4}=1} , .... If the egglike surface is just a sphere one gets the space model of the classical real Möbius plane, the circle geometry on the sphere.The essential property of an ovoidal Möbius plane is the existence of a space model via an ovoid. An ovoid in a 3-dimensional projective space is a set of points, which a) is intersected by lines in 0, 1, or 2 points and b) its tangents at an arbitrary point covers a plane (tangent plane). The geometry of an ovoid in projective 3-space is a Möbius plane, called ovoidal Möbius plane. The point set of the geometry consists of the points of the ovoid and the curves (cycles) are the plane sections of the ovoid. A suitable stereographical projection shows: For any ovoidal Möbius plane there exists a plane model. In the classical case the plane model is the geometry of the circles and lines (any line is completed by a point ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } ). The bundle theorem has a planar and a spatial interpretation. In the planar model there may be lines involved. The proof of the bundle theorem is performed within the spatial model.For any ovoidal Möbius plane M {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {M}}} the bundle theorem holds:Bundle theorem:If for different points A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 4 {\displaystyle A_{1},A_{2},A_{3},A_{4},B_{1},B_{2},B_{3},B_{4}} five of the six quadruples Q i j := { A i , B i , A j , B j } , i < j , {\displaystyle Q_{ij}:=\{A_{i},B_{i},A_{j},B_{j}\},\ i<j,} are concyclic (contained in a cycle) on at least four cycles c i j {\displaystyle c_{ij}} , then the 6th quadruple is concyclic, too.The proof is a consequence of the following considerations, which use essentially the fact, that three planes in a 3-dimensional projective space intersect in a single point:The planes containing the cycles c 23 , c 34 , c 24 {\displaystyle c_{23},c_{34},c_{24}} intersect in a point P {\displaystyle P} . Hence P {\displaystyle P} is the intersection point of the lines (in space !) A 2 B 2 , A 4 B 4 {\displaystyle A_{2}B_{2},\ A_{4}B_{4}} .The planes containing the cycles c 12 , c 14 , c 24 {\displaystyle c_{12},c_{14},c_{24}} intersect in a point P ′ {\displaystyle P'} . Hence P ′ {\displaystyle P'} is the intersection point of the lines A 2 B 2 , A 4 B 4 {\displaystyle A_{2}B_{2},\ A_{4}B_{4}} , too.This yields: a) P = P ′ {\displaystyle P=P'} and b) A 1 B 1 , A 3 B 3 {\displaystyle A_{1}B_{1},\ A_{3}B_{3}} intersect at point P {\displaystyle P} , too. The last statement means: A 1 , B 1 , A 3 , B 3 {\displaystyle A_{1},B_{1},A_{3},B_{3}} are concyclic. The planes involved have point P {\displaystyle P} in common, they are elements of a bundle of planes.The importance of the bundle theorem was shown by Jeff Kahn.Theorem of Kahn: A Möbius plane is ovoidal if and only if it fulfills the bundle theorem ,.The bundle theorem has an analogous meaning for Möbius planes as the Theorem of Desargues for projective planes. From the bundle theorem follows the existence of a) a skewfield (division ring) and b) an ovoid. If the more strict theorem of Miquel holds, the skewfield is even commutative (field) and the ovoid is a quadric.Remark: There are Möbius planes, which are not ovoidal.Remark: For ovoidal Laguerre planes there exists a bundle theorem with an analogous meaning, too.

Q2236891 The Battle of Feldkirch (23 March 1799) saw a Republican French corps led by André Masséna attack a weaker Habsburg Austrian force under Franz Jellacic. Defending fortified positions, the Austrians repulsed all of the French columns, though the struggle lasted until nightfall. This and other French setbacks in southern Germany soon caused Masséna to go on the defensive. The War of the Second Coalition combat occurred at the Austrian town of Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, located 158 kilometres (98 mi) west of Innsbruck.On a flimsy pretext, a Republican French army invaded Switzerland in January 1798 and forced the country into an uneasy alliance marked by occasional revolts. By the start of hostilities with Austria in early 1799, Masséna was in command of the Army of Helvetia. Going on the offensive, the French inflicted defeats on the Austrians at Maienfeld, Chur and Feldkirch on 6 and 7 March. Ordered to attack Feldkirch in late March by his superior Jean-Baptiste Jourdan, Masséna attacked with troops under Nicolas Oudinot. Jourdan's defeats at Ostrach and Stockach soon forced the French to recoil.

Q1816122 Little Barrier Island, or Hauturu in Māori language (the official Māori title is Te Hauturu-o-Toi), lies off the northeastern coast of New Zealand's North Island. Located 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the north of Auckland, the island is separated from the mainland to the west by Jellicoe Channel, and from the larger Great Barrier Island to the east by Cradock Channel. The two aptly named islands shelter the Hauraki Gulf from many of the storms of the Pacific Ocean.Settled by Māori sometime between 1350 and 1650, the island was occupied by those people until the New Zealand government declared the island a wildlife sanctuary in 1897. Since the island came under control of the government, it has been under limited access, with only a few rangers living on the island. In the Māori language, the name of the island name means "the resting place of lingering breezes". Along with its larger neighbour Great Barrier, it was given its English name by Captain James Cook in 1769.The island is a nature sanctuary which has been described by the MBIE as "the most intact [native] ecosystem in New Zealand". However, several invasive species were introduced by both Maori and European settlers, including cats, which were destructive to local small bird and reptile species until they were eradicated between July 1977 and June 1980 in what was possibly New Zealand's costliest pest control programme.

Q4835103 Barend Bartholomeus Keet (1885–1974) was an Afrikaner theologian. He is best known for his rejection of the theological basis of separate development and apartheid policies. (Others in this catgeory included Albert S. Geyser, Ben Marais, Ben Engelbrecht and C. F. Beyers Naudé.) He was one of the translators of the first official translation of the entire Bible into Afrikaans, in 1933.Keet (rhymes with Fiat, not seat) was born on 20 June 1885 in the town of Alice in the Eastern Cape Province. He was the fifth of the seven children of the Reverend B.B. Keet (De Beer 1992:9,10) and his wife, Jacoba Petronella Keet (De Beer 1992:7). He attended school first in Humansdorp, were his father was a preacher (c. 1894) and later in Cape Town (De Beer 1992:10). Although Keet was an Afrikaner, English influences "were by no means outside his ken". The congregation in Humansdorp had the option of attending an evening service in English twice a month and young Bennie, as he was known, was friends with the son of the local "English preacher", despite the looming threat of the Anglo-Boer War (Second Boer War). De Beer is of the opinion that Keet's friendship with English-speaking children, with their differing language, beliefs and habits, helped to develop his relatively liberal character (1992:14), (1992:15).Keet attended the South African College School (SACS) in Cape Town during that war and then completed studies for the degree of Bachelor of Arts at the South African College, in the same city. In 1907 he entered a theological college, where he was involved in the management of the Afrikaans Language Union (De Beer 1992:10–21, 33). From January 1911 to 1913 Keet was enrolled at the Free University in Amsterdam, where he worked towards a doctorate under the guidance of Herman Bavinck (De Beer 1992:40–41).

Q6040973 The Institute of Virus Preparations was an agency of the former Soviet Union.It was the equivalent to the Centers for Disease Control and the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), founded by Kent Truslow. At one time, the Institute for Virus Preparations was one of the World Health Organization (WHO) collaborating centers which served along with the CDC as a central collection point for smallpox (variola major) samples during the eradication effort in the 1970s. The Institute remained one of the collaborating centers.

Additionally, reliable reports indicate that the smallpox samples were almost certainly used in a very advanced biological warfare program prior to this time.
