The Blaine faction, also known as the Blaine section, was a political organization of Republicans in the United States during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes who coalesced around Maine U.S. senator James G. Blaine. Forming a coalition with the conservative Stalwart wing during the era, they opposed civil service reform and the conciliatory actions of the Hayes administration towards the South. Blaine himself would vote with Stalwarts in opposition to President Hayes' reform efforts, siding with Conkling's faction in December 1877 when voting against the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., to become New York Custom of Collectors.
The faction in the context of the Hayes years is often erroneously attributed as the congressional "Half-Breeds," a moderate wing of the Republican Party which advocated civil service reform. According to Richard E. Welch, Jr., Blaine was not a Half-Breed during this time, instead taking part as a dissident member of the Stalwarts. Half-Breeds trusted neither Blaine or Grant, preferring a "third man" for president in the 1880 United States presidential election who was a loyal advocate of civil service reform. According to Allan Peskin, Blaine never referred to his allies as "Half-Breeds," instead preferring the term "the Blaine Section."
The ambiguity between the Blaine faction and Half-Breeds regarding most of the Hayes presidency years is a revisionist historical inaccuracy that ignores the sharp contrasts between the groups; Blaine sharply came at odds with Hayes after 1877, and a mutual bitter antipathy was held between him and Half-Breed leader John Sherman that lasted for over a decade.
Blaine's chief allies during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes were William P. Frye and Eugene Hale, both of whom later served in the United States Senate from Maine as colleagues.
Characteristics
The division and antipathy between the Conkling and Blaine factions was attributed to a personal rivalry between the two political bosses dating since the 1860s. However, their political machines had little differences between them, benefiting from patronage and the practices of the traditional spoils system. While the political organization of Roscoe Conkling emphasized support for "sound money" (also known as "hard money") in their association with New York financial interests, the Blaine organization placed stronger focus on industrial and railroad interests, in addition to their advocacy of the protective tariff.
Hayes presidency
During the 1876 United States presidential election, Sen. Blaine supported the campaign of Rutherford Hayes against Bourbon Democrat opponent Samuel J. Tilden. Following the Compromise of 1877 and the Hayes administration's withdrawal of troops of the South, Blaine was grieved and distraught over the abandonment of Reconstruction efforts to a extent greater than the anguish expressed by Stalwart leaders Roscoe Conkling, J. Donald Cameron, and Zachariah Chandler.
The Blaine faction frequently sparred with the Hayes administration on occasions. At the residence of fellow U.S. senator John Sherman, Sen. Blaine advocated an appointment by Hayes of William Frye to become Attorney General of the United States. Instead, Hayes offered to grant the position to Eugene Hale, although Blaine intended to succeed Maine Sen. Hannibal Hamlin with Hale. The tension increased when Hayes had appointed staunch reformer Carl Schurz to become United States Secretary of the Interior. Schurz in the 1872 United States presidential election led the Liberal Republican Party revolt against Ulysses S. Grant, who Blaine campaigned on behalf of.
In a temporary victory for Stalwarts on one occasion, Conkling secured the powerful position of Collector of the Port of New York for loyalist and future president Chester A. Arthur. Arthur's tenure was marked with cronyism and corruption, hiring thousands of Republicans on the mere basis of political affiliation. Hayes and Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman, a Half-Breed, subsequently fired Arthur from the post. The decision elicited criticism and distaste by both Stalwarts and the Blaine faction. The rift between the Blaine faction and the Hayes administration subsequently reached a point that effectively sealed any remaining chances for Hayes' potential re-election.
When Hayes nominated reform-friendly allies Edwin A. Merritt and Silas W. Burt to the positions of New York Custom of Collectors and Naval Officer respectively, prominent Half-Breed leaders such as George F. Hoar and Stanley Matthews voted to consent to the president's nominations while Blaine joined Stalwarts such as Conkling and William B. Allison in unsuccessful opposition.
1880 Republican National Convention: Conkling and Blaine come to blows
In the 1880 United States presidential election, the Republican Party was marred by factionalism, divided into three main groups:
Stalwarts, headed by Roscoe Conkling, John A. Logan, as well as Simon Cameron and his son J. Donald Cameron
Half-Breeds, headed by strategists George Frisbie Hoar, Henry L. Dawes and John D. Long of Massachusetts
the Blaine faction, organized by Frye and Hale
The Stalwarts pushed for a third, non-consecutive term for former president Ulysses S. Grant in their effort to revive the Radical Republicans' Reconstruction program of Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner, while Half-Breeds advocated a nomination of George F. Edmunds. There existed an irreconcilable feud between the Stalwarts and Blaine faction, attributed not to any grievances held by Grant, rather due to the persisting personal enmity between Conkling and Blaine.
According to Ronald F. Banks, Frye and Hale exhibited "amateurish and provincial" tendencies in their quarrels with Conkling, who humiliated Frye in a manner described as "half sneer and half insult." Frye reportedly only displayed "poise and eloquence" when seconding a nomination of Blaine.
Initially, none of the factions achieved their nomination aims. The Blaine faction and Half-Breeds ultimately formed an alliance to thwart the Stalwarts, throwing support to dark horse candidate James A. Garfield of Ohio. The Stalwarts' aims were weakened when pro-Grant New York Republicans were derailed by state senator and leading Blaine supporter William H. Robertson, whose opposition towards the Conkling forces triggered anti-Grant sentiment throughout the convention. A strategic maneuvering by Half-Breeds installed their leader Hoar as chairman of the convention, and Garfield was nominated. In the November general election, Garfield narrowly triumphed over Democratic nominee Winfield Scott Hancock.

The Chamber of Deputies of Formosa Province () is the unicameral legislative body of Formosa Province, in Argentina. It convenes in the provincial capital, the City of Formosa.
It comprises 30 legislators elected in a single multi-member province-wide district. Members are elected by halves in staggered elections for four-year terms every two years using the limited voting system (similar to that of the Argentine Senate), and using the ley de lemas for party lists. Under the limited voting system, the list (or lists, as per de ley de lemas) that win the most votes automatically get two thirds of the seats up for grabs, while the second-most voted list gets the remaining third of seats.
The Chamber of Deputies is presided by the vice governor of Formosa, who is elected alongside the governor every four years. Since 2019, the post has been occupied by Eber Solís, elected in the Justicialist Party ticket alongside Governor Gildo Insfrán.
History
The legislative power of Formosa was established upon the adoption of the province's first constitution in 1957, two years after the National Territory of Formosa became a province of Argentina. This first legislature, by the name of Chamber of Deputies, comprised 30 legislators elected by halves every two years for four-year terms, with possibility of re-election.
Seat
The Chamber of Deputies has its seat in the Legislature building, on José M. Uriburu 241, Formosa. An eight-story building by San Martín Square was originally planned during the 1980s, but was never finished.

Ask the Passengers is a young adult novel by A. S. King, published October 23, 2012 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. In 2012, the book won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Young Adult Literature.
Reception
Ask the Passengers was generally well-received, including starred reviews from Booklist, The Horn Book, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, and Shelf Awareness.
Kirkus Reviews called Ask the Passengers "[q]uite possibly the best teen novel featuring a girl questioning her sexuality written in years." Publishers Weekly said the book was "[f]unny, provocative, and intelligent," noting that it "celebrates love in all of its messy, modern complexity."
On behalf of The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Deborah Stevenson wrote, "For kids struggling with their own truths, it can be hard to believe how much light there is once you come out of the cave. This is a book that knows and understands that, and it's one that readers will believe."

Death at the Club is a 1937 detective novel by the British writer Cecil Street, writing under the pen name of Miles Burton. It is the fifteenth in a series of books featuring the amateur detective Desmond Merrion and Inspector Arnold of Scotland Yard. It was published in the United States by Doubleday the same year under the alternative title The Clue of the Fourteen Keys. It takes the form of both a locked room mystery and a closed circle of suspects, both popular branches of the genre during the decade.
In the Times Literary Supplement Elizabeth L. Sturch noted "Mr. Miles Burton can always be relied on for a good, serious, straightforward detective story with no shilly-shallying and no side-issues to divert the reader’s attention from the all-important task of discovering the murderer". Isaac Anderson in the New York Times felt "the author has contrived a pleasing combination of routine police procedure with clever deduction".
Synopsis
The Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police is a member of London's exclusive Witchcraft Club and while there he encounters the corpse of the club secretary. He and the other twelve remaining members of the club are all suspects, to the embarrassment of the investigating Inspector Arnold. Only the intervention of his friend Merrion leads to the solving of the case.

The South Florida Bulls beach volleyball team will represent the University of South Florida in the sport of women's beach volleyball at the NCAA National Collegiate level beginning in spring 2025. It will be the second new sports team at USF in two years, as the school started a women's lacrosse team the prior year.
Their future conference affiliation is to be announced, as the Bulls main conference, the American Athletic Conference, does not sponsor the sport of beach volleyball. The Bulls will play their home games on campus, with a new facility set to be built before their first season.
History
The team was first announced in February 2022 and will become the university's 21st varsity sports team (and 12th women's team) when they begin play in spring 2025. At the time of the team's founding, beach volleyball was the newest NCAA sport and was sponsored by 86 teams across the NCAA's three divisions. NCAA beach volleyball championships are competed at the National Collegiate level rather than division levels like most NCAA sports, meaning that Division I, II, and III schools all compete directly against each other.

The St. Mary and St. John of Nepomuk Monument, often shortened as Statue of St. John of Nepomuk, is a Romanian Baroque monument in Timișoara's Liberty Square. It is one of the two plague columns built in Timișoara after the Great Plague of 1738; the other is located in the neighboring Union Square. It is inscribed in the list of historical monuments with the code TM-III-m-A-06306.
History
The plague epidemic of 1738–1739 cost the lives of about 1,000 of the 6,000 inhabitants of Timișoara. As early as 1739, the city administration, represented by mayor , took a solemn oath to perform various good deeds, as a sign of gratitude for ending the epidemic. The "Nepomuk brothers", a religious association in the city, also wanted to commission a work of art to commemorate the epidemic. It seems that the "Nepomuk brothers" issued the execution order of the monument. The chosen artist was Georg Raphael Donner, but he could not execute the work himself. The sculptors were F. Blim and E. Wasserburger, who took three years to complete the monument (1753–1756). The current statue has replaced the older, more modest statue of St. Nepomuk, the patron saint of Catholics in Banat. As this first statue was carved in low-strength sandstone, it was replaced with the current monument. And old Nepomuk was moved over time to various parts of the city, eventually reaching the courtyard of the Catholic parish church in the Fabric district.
In 1852 it was moved near one of the gates of the Transylvania barracks, leaving room for another monument, the Victory Monument. In 1964 the barracks was demolished to make way for the construction of the Continental Hotel, and in 1974 the monument returned in front of the former town hall, where it had been originally located and where it is now. Because it was severely damaged during the December 1989 Revolution, the bullet-cut sculpture ensemble was restored in 1992–1993. The last restoration of the monument was done in May–September 2015 by Ion Oprescu, a local decorator and restorer.
Description
The structural composition is made of Leitha limestone, from the Vienna area, and sandstone was also used in the composition of the central core.
The ensemble has as main characters John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of Catholicism in Banat and Mary who holds lily flowers in her hand, a symbol of purity. Sts. Roch, Charles Borromeo and Sebastian appear in the background. The legend of St. John of Nepomuk is engraved on three sides of the base of the monument: the confession of the Queen of Bohemia, the inquisitor of King Charles who wants to break the sacrament of confession, and the punishment of the Prague canon thrown from the bridge into the Vltava in Prague. Following the torment he endured, through sanctification, he became St. John of Nepomuk, protector of Bohemia, shipowners, raftsmen, priests, millers, and secret keepers.

The Disneyland measles outbreak began at the Disneyland Resort, California, in December 2014, and spread to seven states in the United States, Mexico and Canada, before it was declared over in mid-April 2015.
The first case of measles was reported on 5 January 2015, in an unvaccinated 11-year-old Californian resident. Between December 2014 and March 2015, 131 Californians were infected, with almost 90% of cases occurring in southern California. Linked to the California cases were 16 cases in six other US states, 159 cases in a religious group in Québec, Canada, and one case in Mexico. Almost all the Canadian cases were unvaccinated. The source of the initial Disney theme park exposure was not identified, but specimens from several cases matched with the recent measles outbreak in the Philippines.
It triggered an international debate on vaccine hesitancy, particularly as it had spread to people who intentionally declined the vaccine and put vulnerable people who could not have the vaccine, at risk. The outbreak prompted the California Senate Bill 277, laws that reverted the California personal belief vaccine exemption. Conclusions following examination of the outbreak pointed to undervaccination as a key cause.
Background
Two doses of the measles vaccine provides around 97% protection against measles. Others quote 99%. Prevention of measles outbreaks requires around 95% of a population to be vaccinated with two-doses of a measles vaccine. The few remaining that are unvaccinated or have not mounted an immune response from the measles vaccine, are protected by herd immunity.
In 2000, The US declared measles as eliminated due to an effective vaccination programme and public health response systems. Prior to the Disneyland measles outbreak of 2014-15, California saw increasing rates of non-medical vaccine exemptions, sometimes in clusters which left those communities susceptible to measles. Vaccine coverage at a quarter of California schools, including several around the Disneyland theme park, was too low for herd immunity. At the time, the Californian Disney theme parks received 24 million visitors a year.
Outbreak
On 5 January 2015, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) first heard of a case of measles in a hospitalised 11-year old Californian resident whose rash started on 28 December 2014 and who had visited one of two neighbouring Californian Disney theme parks. Four more cases were reported on the same day, and all had visted the Disney theme parks between 17 and 20 December. CDPH issued a press release on 7 January 2015, by which time there were seven cases.
By 11 February 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) attributed 125 cases of measles across seven US states, 110 of which were in California, to the outbreak. 39 of the California cases had visited the Disney parks between 17 and 20 December, and 34 were secondary contacts. Of the other 15 cases linked to the Disneyland outbreak, seven were in Arizona, one in Colorado, one in Nebraska, one in Oregon, three in Utah, and two in Washington. Cases linked to the outbreak were reported in Mexico, and in Canada its Public Health Agency reported more than 150 cases of measles that were linked to one imported case from the Disneyland outbreak. Of the 110 Californian cases by February 2015, 49 were unvaccinated, 28 of whom held anti-vaccine beliefs. 12 cases occurred in infants too young to have the vaccine; they relied on herd immunity for protection. Almost all the Canadian cases were unvaccinated. Some cases occurred in people who had been vaccinated with two doses of the measles vaccine.
Between December 2014 and March 2015, 131 Californians were infected, with almost 90% of cases occurring in southern California. Linked to the California cases were 16 cases in six other US states, 159 cases in a religious group in Québec, Canada, and one case in Mexico. The outbreak was declared over in mid-April 2015. Conclusions following examination of the outbreak pointed to undervaccination as a key explanation. The source of the initial Disney theme park exposure was not identified, but specimens from several cases matched with the recent measles outbreak in the Philippines, but was also detected in at least 14 countries.
Contact tracing was implemented by local health agencies. To encourage vaccination, Roald Dahl's 1986 "Measles: A dangerous illness" open letter was recirculated as a result of the outbreak. The incident prompted the California Senate Bill 277, laws that reverted the California personal belief vaccine exemption.
Reaction and aftermath
Many people thought of measles as a disease of the past, and the Disneyland outbreak came as a surprise to them. It triggered an international debate on vaccine hesitancy, particularly as it had spread to people who intentionally declined the vaccine and put vulnerable people who could not have the vaccine, at risk. Headlines included "The good thing about the Disney measles outbreak", "Finally, California lawmakers say vaccination is a social responsibility", and "Organ legislator wants to eliminate 'philosophical' vaccine exemption". One website reported "Mickey Mouse Gets the Measles” and one blog wrote “Space Mountain with a Side of Measles” and "Measles was not the name of an eighth ‘Snow White’ dwarf”. Media coverage and social media posts focused on the harms of the “anti-vaxx” movement and resulted in a positive influence in vaccine uptake and the effect was dubbed by some as the “Disneyland effect”. In over 10 years, the term "measles" had its highest level of hits on Google Trends. National US surveys showed that more than half the population knew about the outbreak. Among Twitter users, the most common retweet was a post of a Forbes news article that described the outbreak as a “turning point in the vaccine wars.” It argued that people generally wished to defend vaccination, although others doubted it.
Several studies subsequently looked at the effect of the Disneyland outbreak on people's views about vaccination. There was little inconsistency; a larger proportion of people reported more positive views towards vaccination. One study reported that a third of mothers showed more interest in the measles vaccine, another revealed that more than a third of paediatricians said that they had fewer requests for vaccine alternatives schedules, and a fifth reported stricter policies in vaccinating. Parents with higher educational levels felt more favourable towards vaccines in some studies, and one study reported more positive views towards vaccines in the white population and in those with higher incomes. Effect varied by population subgroup. Media coverage had likely encouraged favorable vaccine-related beliefs.
Between 1 January and 31 December 2019, 1,282 cases of measles were confirmed in 31 US states. One case that year was a person who visited Disneyland.

The Codex Ambrosianus C. 313 Inf. (also TM 117847, LDAB 117847) is a Syro-Hexaplar manuscript in parchment form the late eight or early ninth-century.
This manuscript contains books from Psalms to Daniel, comprising half of the Old Testament. Andreas Masius reported that the first part of the manuscript, which contained the Pentateuch and the Historical Books, was present at first, but it was lost. The preserved portion contains the books in this order: Pss, Job, Prov, Qoh, Cant, Wis, Sir, MinP, Jer, Bar, Lam, Ep Jer, Dan (with Greek additinos: Sus, Bel), Ezek and Isa. This manuscript has been important for the reconstruction of the fifth column of the Origen's Hexapla.
The manuscript has no colophon and is written in Estrangela script. According to Frank E. Shaw, the name of God Iαω consistently renders the Syriac yod-aleph-waw.
A potholithographic edition was published in 1874 by Antonio Maria Ceriani in Codex Syro-Hexaparis Ambrosianus potholithographice editus, and currently is at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.

Tristram Gilman (November 24, 1735 – April 1, 1809) was an American Congregational minister who served as the fourth pastor of the "Old Ledge" meetinghouse in what was then North Yarmouth, Massachusetts (now Yarmouth, Maine), for forty years. Gilman Road, adjacent to where the church formerly stood, is now named for him.
Early life
Gilman was born in Exeter, Province of New Hampshire, on November 24, 1735. The son of Reverend Nicholas Gilman (who died in 1748, when Tristram was twelve years old), and Mary Things, he graduated from Harvard College in 1757. His younger brother, Joseph (1738–1806), was a judge in Marietta, Ohio. Joseph's son and Tristram's nephew, Benjamin Ives Gilman (1766–1833), was a shipbuilder and an extensive landowner in Ohio. Their cousin was Nicholas Gilman (1755–1814), a Founding Father of the United States.
Ministry
Gilman moved to Maine in the second half of the 18th century. He was ordained as minster at the now-demolished "Old Ledge" meeting house, in the Broad Cove area of the town, on December 8, 1769. He remained in the role until his death exactly forty years later, in 1809.
Shortly after taking the position, he became the original 1771 occupant of the Gilman Manse house at today's 463 Lafayette Street. John Calvin Stevens later renovated the property.
Reverend Edward Brooks, who was Gilman's classmate at Harvard, was also his predecessor at the Ledge Church. In his Catalogue of the First Church, Reverend David Shepley, the second minister of the church, wrote of Gilman: "[He possesses] a vigorous physical frame, endowed with strong features in his mental constitution, studious, evangelical, ever diligent and enterprising in the duties of his calling, he soon attained uncommon ascendancy over the minds of his people, rose to eminence in the vicinity, and at his departure left his strong impress on the place blessed by his long-continued and successful labors and influence."
Gilman once declared in a sermon that Thomas Jefferson was the Antichrist.
The Ledge church, which was founded on November 18, 1730, was torn down in 1836, 27 years after Gilman's death and sixteen years after it was abandoned by the Parish.
Personal life
Gilman married Elizabeth Sayer (1747–1790), a native of Wells, Maine, around the time he began his ministry at the Old Ledge Church. He survived his wife for almost nineteen years, after her death on November 20, 1790.
Their eldest daughter, Elizabeth Gilman (1776–1851), married Francis Brown, an 1805 graduate of Dartmouth College and later its third president. Their son was Samuel Gilman Brown. Samuel's son, another Francis Brown, was a theologian.
Theodosia, another daughter, was born in 1788.
In 1789, Gilman had published The Right Education of Children Recommended by Samuel Hall Publishers in Boston.
Death
Gilman died on April 1, 1809, aged 73. He is buried on the former site of his church, in the Ledge Cemetery, alongside his wife. His son-in-law, Francis Brown, was invited to preach before the Congregational church. Brown accepted the position of pastor, with the proviso that the church, which had been in use for nearly eighty years, be discontinued. The second church (known as Old Sloop) was built in 1818, at the eastern corner of Main and Bridge Streets (at present-day 121 Main Street), but it was abandoned in 1868 and torn down in 1879.

The Japanese settlers in Manchuria were the Japanese immigrants who came to Manchuria after the Russo-Japanese War and settled in zones of Japanese interests (mostly in larger cities). After the Japanese occupation (1931) and establishment of Manchukuo huge crowds of Japanese agricultural pioneers settled in Manchuria. By 1945, more than a million Japanese lived in Manchuria.
The first wave of the migration was a five-year trial emigration plan. Later these mass migration programs continued until the end of World War II.

The 2021 Big East Conference Men's Soccer Tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big East Conference held from November 6 through November 14, 2021. The five-match tournament took place at Shaw Field in Washington, D.C. for the Semifinals and Finals, while the First Round was hosted by the higher seeded team. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Seton Hall Pirates. They were unable defended their title after not qualifying for the tournament and finishing in last place in the regular season standings. Georgetown finished as tournament champions after defeating Providence 2–1 in overtime in the final. This is the fifth title in program history for Georgetown, all of which have come under Head Coach Brian Wiese. As tournament champions, Georgetown earned the Big East's automatic berth into the 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament.
Seeding
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. The Semifinals and Finals of the tournament were hosted by the first seed, Georgetown. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth, fifth, and sixth seeds as Creighton, Villanova and Butler all finished with identical 5–4–1 regular season records. When three teams are tied, a "mini-conference" is created with those three teams and the team with the best record is awarded the highest seed. Creighton earned the fourth seed after going 2–0–0 against Villanova and Butler. Villanova earned the fifth seed by going 1–1–0 against the other teams. Butler was the sixth seed after posting a 0–2–0 record against the other teams.

Route 446 is a regional arterial road that begins at the Shilat junction in Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south, and ends at the Baruchin Interchange on Highway 5 in the north. The length of the road is 31 km and almost all of it passes outside the Green Line. The most interesting point on the road is the crossing of Nahal Shilo north of Beit Aryeh-Ofarim.
History
Route 446 has existed at least since the days of Jordanian rule, when its number was "99". Until the 1990s, the route of the road was different, and near the village of Deir Ballut, it continued north towards Mas-ha and Azzun, reaching as far as Tulkarm. The road number still appears on the old route, especially in the Azzun area.

Charles Michell (17 February 1849 — 25 January 1900) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of John Michell, he was born at York in February 1849. He was educated at Haileybury, where he excelled at athletics. After completing his education, Michell entered into the 67th Foot as a cornet by purchase in October 1867, with promotion to lieutenant following in November 1871, at which point he was serving with the King's Royal Rifle Corps. Michell played first-class cricket in 1875, making a single appearance for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Kent at the Canterbury Cricket Week; Michell was not originally in the starting eleven, but was a substitute for William Kington. He batted in the Gentlemen second innings and was dismissed for a single run by Dick Penn. He was promoted to captain in July 1864, and was an Instructor of Musketry from 1876. Michell served in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, during which he was present at the Battle of Gingindlovu, and later served in the First Boer War of 1880–81. He retired from active service in December 1882, with a gratuity. He died at his Forcett Hall residence in North Yorkshire in January 1900. His brother, Edward, was also a first-class cricketer.

Shawn Knight (born January 19, 1972) is an American former professional gridiron football quarterback who played in the Canadian Football League (CFL). Knight played college football and college baseball at William & Mary.
Early life and high school
Knight was born and grew up in Norfolk, Virginia and attended Matthew Fontaine Maury High School. He committed to play at William & Mary, where coach Jimmye Laycock offered him opportunity to play quarterback, over scholarship offers from James Madison, North Carolina, and Virginia.
College career
Knight redshirted his freshman year at William & Mary and spent the next two seasons as the backup to future NFL quarterback Chris Hakel. He set an NCAA record for passing efficiency and was named second team All-Yankee Conference in his redshirt junior after completing 69.4 percent of his passes for 2,235 yards and 22 touchdowns. As a senior, Knight completed 125 of 177 passes for 2,055 yards, 22 touchdowns and four interceptions and was again named second team All-Yankee Conference. Knight finished his collegiate career with 5,705 passing yards, 46 touchdown passes and 6,408 yards of total offense. While at William & Mary, he was teammates with future NFL head coaches Sean McDermott and Mike Tomlin, who was also his roommate.
Knight also played baseball as a junior and senior. As a junior, he batted .316 and stole 38 bases in 45 attempts despite not having played since his senior year in high school. Knight was selected in the 75th round of the 1993 Major League Baseball draft, but opted not to sign with the team and return to William & Mary. He hit for a .295 average as a senior.
Professional career
Due to his size, Knight was not considered an NFL prospect. He was heavily scouted by Canadian Football League league teams and signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the on April 11, 1995. He played in five games during the 1995 season, seeing limited action. Knight was released by Toronto during the 1996 season.
Knight also played professional baseball in the San Diego Padres organization after being selected in the 13th round of the 1994 Major League Baseball draft. He spent one season with the Padres' Class A affiliate, the Spokane Indians, in between his redshirt junior and senior years and batted .280.
Post-football career
After retiring from football, Knight initially worked in the legislative affairs division of a law firm in Richmond, Virginia. He later became the athletics director at Huguenot High School before becoming an administrator for the Virginia High School League.

SS Junipero Serra was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. The ship was operated by the War Shipping Administration. In 1959, the ship was scrapped, meeting the same fate as most other Liberty ships.
Career
Junipero Serra was laid down on 20 May 1942 as Yard Number 292 by the California Shipbuilding Corporation (Calship) in Los Angeles. The ship was launched on 30 June 1942 and was completed on 12 July 1942. The ship, named after the Spanish priest and missionary Junípero Serra y Ferrer, was Calship's 42nd Liberty ship completed. It took 41 days to complete, surpassing Calship's previous record of quickest Liberty ship built by 18 days; the previous record was held by the SS Joseph McKenna.
The ship was scrapped in February 1959.

"Dance, Dance, Dance" is a song written by Neil Young that first appeared on Crazy Horse's debut album Crazy Horse in 1971. Young later released a live version of it himself and it has also been covered by other artists, including Dave Edmunds, The New Seekers, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Elvis Costello.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse versions
"Dance, Dance, Dance" was originally recorded by Young with Crazy Horse in 1969 for a country-rock album that was never released.
Allmusic critic William Ruhlmann described the Crazy Horse version of "Dance, Dance, Dance" as a "country hoedown." Cash Box called it "country flavored." Young reused the melody to "Dance, Dance, Dance" for his song "Love Is a Rose" that was famously covered by Linda Ronstadt.
Young biographer Paul Williams called "Dance, Dance, Dance" a "classic" and said it is much better than "Love Is a Rose."
Young performed "Dance, Dance, Dance" live in concert from 1969 through 1971, and then in 1983, 1987 and 1992. A live version from 1971 was released on Live at Massey Hall 1971 in 2007. Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described this version as a "stomping hoedown." Music lecturer Ken Bielen similarly called this version a "hoedown sing-a-long performance that elicits a lot of hand-clapping on the beat.
Cover versions
Dave Edmunds covered "Dance, Dance, Dance" for his 1972 album Rockpile, a version the Rolling Stone Album Guide called "successful."
The New Seekers covered "Dance, Dance, Dance" on the US version of their 1972 album Circles and also released it as a single. Billboard said that "the Neil Young rhythm material is strong for the New Seekers loaded with Top 40 and MOR potential." The single reached #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #24 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart.
Elvis Costello covered "Dance, Dance, Dance" live in 1972 as part of his duo Rusty with Allan Mayes, while still going by his given name of Declan MacManus.
The Flying Burrito Brothers covered the song on their 1997 album California Jukebox. According to John Beland, label president Robert John Jones suggested the song as a possible cut for California Jukebox. As it turned out, Burrito Brothers' fiddler Gib Guilbeau had played the fiddle on the original Crazy Horse version and as a result he and Beland had long wanted to record the song. Guilbeau used the same fiddle on the Flying Burrito Brothers record as he did on the Crazy Horse version more than 25 years earlier. Beland stated that:
Crazy Horse cut "Dance, Dance, Dance" and wanted a fiddle on it. So the first person they called was Gib because he was the guy to call for Cajun fiddle. Nobody could touch him. So he went to play on it. He told us about it when he got back, and we always wanted to cut the tune. I don't know what happened—we never got around to doing it. It was an obvious song for us. So all through the years we talked about it. Then when we were putting tunes together for this album, Robert John said to us "Have you ever heard that Neil Young tune 'Dance, Dance, Dance'? And I said "Holy cow! Yeah! I told him Gib had played on the original record. So we went in and cut it—finally, after wanting to cut it since 1971.
Mumford & Sons recorded "Dance, Dance, Dance" live in 2010.

Poems on Various Subjects (1796) was the first collection by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, including also a few sonnets by Charles Lamb. A second edition in 1797 added many more poems by Lamb and by Charles Lloyd, and a third edition appeared in 1803 with Coleridge's works only. All three editions included poems in Coleridge's early Miltonic style, such as his Religious Musings and Monody on the Death of Chatterton, alongside lyrics and some of his first conversation poems, such as The Eolian Harp, in a style suggested by the works of William Cowper. The book was on the whole well received by reviewers; modern critics value it more for its shorter and lighter poems than for its formal set-pieces.

Compilation and publication
Poems on Various Subjects, Coleridge's first collection, was put together in 1795 and 1796 while he was living in a cottage in Clevedon, near Bristol, working as a Radical journalist, lecturer and pamphleteer. Publication was delayed while he revised his Religious Musings, but the book was eventually issued by the Bristol bookseller Joseph Cottle on 16 April 1796. In return for the copyright in the poems Cottle paid him 30 guineas, though Coleridge was more hopeful of gaining favourable notice from reviewers than large profits. This first edition of the book contained 51 poems, mostly written since Coleridge had dropped out from Cambridge University at the end of 1794. The collection was bookshelved by two substantial formal poems, Monody on the Death of Chatterton and Religious Musings; of the intervening pieces about half were sonnets, while the remainder included "The Eolian Harp" and two other conversation poems, as Coleridge was later to call them. Four of the sonnets, all signed with the initials C. L., were attributed by Coleridge himself to his friend Charles Lamb, but the truth is more complex. All were amended by Coleridge, and one, Effusion XIV "To Siddons", was included as Coleridge's in later collections of his poems and is probably best described as a collaboration. A fifth sonnet, Effusion XV, was completed by Lamb, as Coleridge acknowledged.
Within six months the book had sold out, and preparations began for a second edition with additional poems by both Coleridge and Lamb. In March 1797, when the printing was almost complete, Coleridge told Cottle that there would be a section of poems by another of his friends, Charles Lloyd, reassuring him that the increased costs of production would be offset by profits from the large number of copies, "more than a hundred", that Lloyd's family and friends would doubtless buy. This edition, retitled Poems, Second Edition, by S. T. Coleridge, to Which Are Now Added Poems by Charles Lamb, and Charles Lloyd, was therefore of an even more miscellaneous nature than the first. The first section, consisting of poems by Coleridge himself, omitted twenty poems from the first edition, including many of the more immature ones and all of the sonnets on political figures, but included twelve newer works. It began with a dedicatory poem to his brother, the Rev. George Coleridge, and, as before, concluded with the Religious Musings. This section comprised, Coleridge told Cottle, "my choicest fish, pick'd, gutted, and clean'd", the compound-epithets and other stylistic extravagances "pruned...with no unsparing hand". By contrast, the next two sections, by Lamb and Lloyd respectively, were in effect a Collected Works of the two young poets, occupying nearly a hundred pages. The final section, or Supplement, contains a few poems by Coleridge and his co-authors which he had, as he wrote, "reprieved from immediate oblivion". A newspaper advertisement dated 28 October 1797 announced the publication of the second edition. Coleridge almost immediately undercut his relations with his collaborators by publishing in the November 1797 number of the Monthly Magazine, under the pseudonym of Nehemiah Higginbottom, three sonnets satirising his own poems and those of Lamb and Lloyd. In consequence, when in 1798 Coleridge floated the idea of a third edition, to include The Ancient Mariner, Lloyd asked for his own poems to be withdrawn.
Nothing came of this project in 1798, but by 1803 Coleridge was again planning a new edition, this time to consist entirely of his own poems. Though he initially intended to include some of his newer conversation poems, when the book finally appeared that year, simply called Poems, by S. T. Coleridge, it was essentially a simple rearrangement of his own contributions to the 1797 edition. He even retained the short 1796 and 1797 prefaces rather than write a new one outlining his thoughts on the theory of Romantic poetry. The task of superintending the book's progress through the press was delegated to Lamb.
Themes
Coleridge published the Poems just after the failure of his idealistic political scheme of Pantisocracy. His strong belief in the capacity of poetry to examine the religious and political changes of his day is reflected in both of the longest poems in the collection, the Monody on the Death of Chatterton and the Religious Musings, and also in the sonnets on prominent political figures. In contrast, there are also many poems of sensibility, described by Coleridge as "effusions", reflecting the influence of William Lisle Bowles's sonnets. These are imbued with Coleridge's own personal emotions; they are sometimes melancholy and sometimes expressive of his happiness in the early stages of his marriage to Sara Fricker. Throughout the collection runs the theme of immersion in nature as a way of communing with God.
Reception
Some of the earliest and best criticism of Poems on Various Subjects came from Charles Lamb in a string of letters to Coleridge, praising his Religious Musings as "the noblest poem in the language, next after the Paradise lost", urging him to "cultivate simplicity", and employing exemplary tact whenever he found fault. The book was widely reviewed, on the whole favourably, reviewers praising the author's imaginative powers, accomplished poetic diction, and alternately lofty and tender sentiment. Such adverse criticism as came was directed at shortcomings Coleridge himself had privately acknowledged as "much effeminacy of sentiment, much faulty glitter of expression", and also at metrical faults. The British Critic wished that his sentiment and expression had been "chastened by experience of mankind, or habitude of writing". The Critical Review believed that time would correct Coleridge's faults, and found Lamb's poems "very beautiful". The Monthly Review, Coleridge said, had "cataracted panegyric on my poems". Its critic, John Aikin, wrote that "the manner of an original thinker is predominant; and as he has not borrowed the ideas, so he has not fashioned himself to the polish and correctness of modern verse. Such a writer...will always be, what so few proportionally are, an interesting object to the genuine lover of poetry." The 1797 edition was more sparsely reviewed, but it was noted that Coleridge had purged his poems of many of their over-ornate expressions, and the Critical Review praised the "Reflections on Having Left a Place of Retirement" and the sonnet on the River Otter. The Monthly Visitor wrote that Coleridge's "defects..are the defects of genius and intelligence", that Lloyd's poems showed "much simplicity, sweetness, and promise", and that Lamb's contributions were "strong and harmonious", entitling him to much praise. The 1803 edition was given a short but respectful notice by the Poetical Register, while the Annual Review thought that its contents "afford examples of the best and worst manner of this striking and peculiar writer".
Coleridge told his friend John Thelwall in 1796, "I build all my poetic pretensions on the Religious Musings"; Thelwall on the other hand found that its religious passages were "the very acme of...rant", and the whole poem was "infected with inflation & turgidity". Many modern critics find themselves between these two viewpoints, Richard Holmes writing that it adds "weight in every sense" to Poems on Various Subjects and that it belies that collection's true originality. It is such lyrics and conversation poems as "The Eolian Harp" and "Lines Written at Shurton Bars" that are seen as prefiguring the great works of Coleridge's maturity. Lawrence Hanson, for example, wrote that these "are saved by their spontaneity and lightness from the confusion of overmuch thought. They contain hints of the sensuous mysticism, the delicate precision of imagery, in which Coleridge was to excel." Some critics have voiced their surprise at Coleridge's inclusion policy, pointing out that "To the River Otter" and "Reflections on Having Left a Place of Retirement" do not appear in the 1796 edition; likewise that the 1803 edition leaves out Kubla Khan, Christabel, This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison, Frost at Midnight, Fears in Solitude, France: An Ode, and Dejection: An Ode, all of which had at that date appeared only in pamphlets or newspapers.

Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider is a 1968 book on the culture of Weimar Republic written by Peter Gay and published by Harper & Row.
Summary
The work (which used interviews, recollections, letters and autobiographies as its primary sources) is one of the best-known introductions to Weimar culture in the English language.
In it, Gay describes many leading German social and political activists, scholars, and artists of the period as the former cultural outsiders of Imperial Germany, who flourished once the censorship of the Imperial era was removed following the First World War, and had now become part of a new cultural elite. This included the Expressionists (and later the counter-Expressionist New Objectivity artists), Dadaists, satirists, atonal musicians, and modernists.
He believed that Germany had its own unique developmental path (similar to the Sonderweg thesis), pioneered by a small, liberal-to-left-wing sample of largely Jewish elites, based in big cities like Berlin. As a result, Gay says that Weimar Germany became a centre of artistic expression, opera, theatre, political cabaret, journalism, cinema and publishing. In keeping with other scholars of his period (many of whom Gay was close with), Gay describes the collapse of the Republic as a result of moral relativism, decadance and excess leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, and combines this with Freudian psychoanalysis.
Reception
Although influential, Weimar Culture has been criticised for its focus on high culture and societal elites, and neglect of popular culture in Germany at the time.

Bread in Spain has an ancient tradition with various preparations in each region. Wheat is by far the most cultivated cereal, as it withstands the dry climate of the interior of the country. Since time immemorial, bread (pan in Spanish) is a staple food that accompanies all daily meals, all year round. In fact, the Iberian Peninsula is one of the European regions with the greatest diversity of breads. The Spanish gourmet estimated a total of 315 varieties of bread in Spain. In addition to food, bread in Spain has a historical, cultural, religious and mythological function.
One of the hallmarks of the Spanish bakery is the candeal, bregado or sobado bread, which has a long tradition in Castile, Andalusia, Extremadura, Araba, Valencia or Zaragoza. This bread is made with flour, a variety of durum wheat endemic to Iberia and the Balearic Islands (where it is called xeixa) and which is highly appreciated. The dough for this bread is obtained by squeezing the dough with a two-cylinder machine called bregadora (similar to pasta makers). The pan sobado bread is only found in Spain and Portugal (pão sovado).
Unlike the breads made in northern Europe, in the South, white flour is preferred, because it provides a more spongy and light texture, but less nutritional value. This is also related to the universal prominence of wheat in Spanish bakery, while from the Pyrenees to the north it is more common to mix it with rye flour and other grains (like the French méteil), as well as the use of wholemeal flour. Wholemeal breads have only come to have some relevance in the recent history of the country, when a renewed interest in nutrition is introduced. On the other hand, throughout its history (and especially during the Franco regime), rye, barley, buckwheat, or whole wheat breads were considered "food for the poor".
In addition, bread is an ingredient in a wide variety of Spanish recipes: ajoblanco, bollos preñaos, migas, pa amb tomàquet, salmorejo, torrijas, etc. Traditional Spanish cuisine arose from the need to make the most of the few ingredients that have shaped the diet of the peninsula for centuries and centuries. Bread is the main of them, and especially in the inland. However, a decrease and reorientation of the Spanish bakery is noticeable. People eat less and worse bread, at the same time that the baker's job is becoming mechanized and tradition is simplifying.
History
Bread was produced in the Iberian Peninsula before the arrival of the Romans. The Iberian people cultivated wheat, and possibly other cereals such as einkorn wheat and barley. They even mastered the fermentation process. The institution of bakeries as an establishment for sale to the public is due to the Greeks, and the Romans introduced significant improvements in structures such as the mill or the oven. Numerous ('bread stamps') have been found throughout Hispania, such as in Córdoba or Ibiza. These were used by the Romans to "mark" bread for religious reasons. It is interesting to see that the pieces found in central Europe allude more to the imperial cult, while in Iberia more to Roman mythology.
In Rome, the fermentation was done by reusing dough that was left over from previous days (sourdough), however in Hispania, the natives had the custom of using beer foam as yeast, which resulted in lighter and fluffier breads. The writer and soldier Pliny the Elder, a Roman originally from northern Italy, served as a procurator for a while in the Iberian Peninsula and commented: "Hispania's bread is very light and very pleasing to the palate even for a refined man from Rome".
During the Andalusian period (from the 8th century to the 15th century), the cultivation of cereals was the dominant job and bread was a basic and daily food. In Al-Andalus, white bread was made from wheat flour, but also a coarser and cheaper bread that contained bran, called “red bread”. On the Christian side of the border, the baker's trade was established as a profession, becoming a relevant, prominent and respected figure in medieval society. To regulate the market, bakers began to form unions from the twelfth century. In Spain, especially in the Mediterranean area, there have been bakers' guilds for more than 750 years. For example, the Guild of Bakers of Barcelona (), which is cited in a document from 1395.
The Spanish conquest of America led to the importation of a new cereal with which flour could be made: corn. Corn has a presence in the bakery of "Green Spain" (northern Spain). An example of bread with corn flour is borona, brona or broa, a typical bread from Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country.

Bread and culture
In addition to being a basic food, bread has a ritual function and a religious burden. In Christianity, bread embodies the body of Christ, and together with wine, which is his blood, make up the Eucharist in all Christian churches. Even before the appearance of the faith of Christ, the pagan traditions (Celtic, Greco-Roman, Phoenician, etc.) already considered bread as a symbol of fertility. For example, in Ancient Rome, pieces of bread were offered to Ceres, goddess of crops and fertility. In fact, Christianity absorbed many of these pagan traditions and also of Judaism, in which bread has a leading position.
Bread and fertility rites
The egg is another food that many ancient cultures have associated with fertility, so it is not surprising that many ancestral traditions have survived to this day that, during spring (a season also associated with birth and life), embed whole eggs into the bread dough. This is the case of the Catalan monas, the Basque opillas or the Castilian San Marcos hornazo. The egg is tied to the bread with two intertwined strips of dough in the shape of a cross, definitively linking a pagan custom to Christian mythology.
Bread and death rites
Bread has been present in funeral rites since ancient times. As a votive or mortuary offering, bread has embodied death in most cultures of the Mediterranean and beyond. Formerly, it was common at funerals to distribute loaves. According to the anthropologist Joan Amades "at funerals it was customary to offer rolls that the attendees gave to the priest, along with a candle". When a loved one died, "there should be bread in the house to facilitate the transit".
In Catalonia, when the dead visit their families on All Souls' Day (November 2), they are offered a votive bread called pa d'ànimes ('bread of souls'), although nowadays panets and panellets are more typical. This tradition can be found in Mexico under the name "bread of the dead". In addition, in some Catalan towns, at the meal after the funeral, a bread with a cross in the middle is served, called pa de memòria, which was dedicated with a prayer to the deceased. The breads of the dead can be found throughout Spain and the Mediterranean, such as the pan de finado from the Canary Islands, the "saint's bones" from Madrid, or the anthropomorphic breads from Sicily and the south of the Italian peninsula.
Bread on the table
In Spain, Christian families bless bread before beginning a meal, thanking God for "giving us our daily bread" while a cross is marked on the crust. Capel adds: "The first slice was not distributed, a gesture that would have meant the annulment of the rite." The good Christian gave the first piece of the loaf to the guests. The relevance of bread at the Christian table is reflected in the marks that are stamped on the loaves: ("Long live the blessed bread"), ("I am the main one at the table"), ("Look at me attentively, I am your food"), etc. Wasting or throwing away a piece of bread was equivalent to despising or rejecting the food of the Lord.
Culture loss
Undoubtedly, bread has been the most consumed food in Spain throughout its history. Formerly it was what was eaten the most, but its prominence was overshadowed by the abundance of food that arrived in the country in the 60s and 70s, when agriculture was mechanized and the country opened up to the world. The reduction of its consumption has led to a loss of its quality, tradition and culture. According to culinary researcher , who toured the 50 provinces collecting information on the country's baking tradition, "Bread has lost prestige or, better said, it has been demystified, in the sense that it was sacred because it was what was eaten the most ( ...) Never has less bread been eaten than now." It goes hand in hand with a drastic reduction of the Mediterranean culinary tradition, just like in neighboring Italy.
Influence of the Spanish bakery in the world
In Europe
The candeal, bregado or sobado bread, originating in what is now Castile and León, would be taken to the south of the peninsula and to Portugal, where it has also been practiced since time immemorial; in Portuguese it is known as pão sovado in the north or pão de calo in the south.
The sobado bread was given to the soldiers because it has the exceptional characteristic of lasting for days, even weeks. It arrived in French Normandy through the Kingdom of Navarre in the times of Charles II 'the Bad', married to Joan of France. It gave rise to the so-called Norman pain brié (also, pain de chapître, 'town hall bread'), very similar to candeal. Later the Spanish Tercios brought sobado bread to France, Italy, Flanders and other parts of Europe. The Italian bakers adopted Spanish sobado bread and created its own delicacies, such as coppia ferrarese. Even in the Maghreb there is a bread derived from candeal called pain espagnole. Instead, what in Italy is called pan di Spagna ("Spanish bread") refers to the sponge cake, which according to Italian tradition was made by a baker in Spain. The name has passed into Greek as pantespani (Παντεσπάνι) and into Turkish as pandispanya.
In the Americas
The Spanish bakery is the basis of the current Hispanic-American bakery, which later adapted the recipes to its climate, its ingredients and its own tastes.
Wheat was one of the first foods to be imported into the New World, and the culture of bread was one of the first that the Spanish colonization introduced into the diet of the natives, despite the fact that this food and nutritional niche was already occupied by corn. The massive cultivation of wheat in America also had a political reason, since the Spanish controlled in one way or another the production, distribution and sale of the product. The rejection of its cultivation was manifested as a form of resistance against Spanish rule. In Mesoamerica, for example, Antonio de Mendoza denounced that the indigenous people ignored the cultivation of wheat, among other things because they used the same techniques as for planting corn (with a coa) and wheat did not prosper. Even so, the culture of bread ended up adapting to America hand in hand with Evangelization.
Today the Hispanic bakery is spread throughout the Americas, and bread is a common food, with different variants depending on the country and region. For example:
Spanish torrijas are also eaten in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica among other countries.
In Mexico, a bread called telera has its remote origin in the telera that the Andalusian workers ate. Also in the Dominican Republic there is a telera, which is typical of Christmas.
The acemita was a bread that was eaten in Spain and was considered of low quality because it was prepared with wheat bran (sometimes, if possible, it was mixed with a little white flour) The mixture itself was called , and with it the "poor man's bread" was made. Due to seseo, the term evolved to semita, which is what a wide variety of typical breads from different states of Mexico, as well as Honduras, Argentina or El Salvador are called.
In the Philippines
The Spanish tradition is also the basis of the Filipino bakery. The common bread is called pandesal ('salt bread' in Spanish). A bread filled with red pudding is called pan de regla ('menstrual bread' in Spanish). Pan de coco ('coco bread') is also eaten in Latin America. Ironically, a bread called Spanish bread is of native origin.

Edward Alexander Wood (8 May 1841 — 22 May 1898) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer. Wood was a career soldier in the 10th Royal Hussars, rising to the rank of major-general. He fought in both the Second Anglo-Afghan War and the Mahdist War, with Wood being made a Companion to the Order of the Bath for his service in the latter. He was also a first-class cricketer, appearing in one match in 1875.
Early life
The son of Sir Charles Alexander Wood, deputy chairman of the Great Western Railway, he was born at Kensington in May 1841. He was educated at Radley College until 1852, after which he went to Eton College. After completing his education, Wood was commissioned into the 10th Royal Hussars as a cornet in July 1858, with him purchasing the rank of lieutenant in September 1859. Wood served in British Malta as aide-de-camp to the general commanding the troops from September 1862 to October 1863. From there he was posted to Ireland, where he served as aide-de-camp to the general commanding the troops from December 1863 to July 1864, after which he went to Dublin where he was aide-de-camp to the general commanding troops from December 1865 to January 1867. In July 1867, he purchased the rank of captain.
Anglo-Afghan and Mahdist War's
Wood played first-class cricket in 1875, making a single appearance for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Kent at the Canterbury Cricket Week; Batting twice in the match from the tail, he was dismissed for 8 runs in the Gentlemen first innings by William Foord-Kelcey, while in their second innings he was unbeaten without scoring. He was appointed an adjutant at the Cavalry Depot at Canterbury in April 1875, a post he held until May 1876, when he relinquished the position upon his promotion to major without purchase in May 1876; from Canterbury he rejoined his regiment at Muttra in British India as second-in-command to Lord Ralph Kerr. When Kerr returned to England on leave, Wood assumed command of the regiment and in the winter of 1877 he marched it from Muttra to Rawalpindi. He took the regiment to war in the Second Anglo-Afghan War and commanded two squadrons at the Capture of Ali Masjid in November 1878. Wood remained in command of the 10th Hussars until Kerr's return in March 1879. For his services during the campaign, Wood was made a brevet lieutenant-colonel in November 1879.
Wood succeeded Kerr as commander of the regiment upon his retirement in May 1881, with Wood gaining the full rank of lieutenant-colonel in June. In February 1884, he embarked aboard the troopship for the return journey to England following the end of the Hussars service in India. However, the ship was intercepted 20 miles outside Aden and given new orders to sail with haste for Suakin in the Khedivate of Egypt. The regiment disembarked and was supplied with horses from Baker Pasha's Cavalry and the Egyptian Gendarmerie, with the military objective of destroying the power of the Sudanese military commander Osman Digna. Wood commanded the command of the Cavalry Brigade until the arrival of Sir Herbert Stewart from England, commanding it at the Battles of El Teb and Tamai. He was mentioned in dispatches during the conflict and was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath in recognition of his service in it. He was promoted to colonel in November 1883.
Later life and death
Upon his return to England in 1884, Wood was ordered to attend the movements of the Austro-Hungarian Army, for the purpose of reporting on their cavalry. He retired on half-pay in March 1886, at which pount he was appointed Inspector of Auxiliary Cavalry and second-in-command of a brigade at Aldershot Garrison. Following the completition of four years in this command, Wood was promoted to major-general and was given command of the Regimental District of Hounslow. He was present at the funeral of Prince Albert Victor in January 1892. In January 1895, he was appointed to command the troops at Shorncliffe Army Camp. It was there that he died in May 1898, following a brief illness.

Evelyn Straus (June 22, 1916 – March 10, 1992) was an American photojournalist and the first woman photographer employed at the Daily News in New York City. She was one of the first women admitted to the National Press Photographers Association in 1945 and joined the Press Photographers Association of New York City in 1952 as soon as they allowed women members. During her career, Straus was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for Photography and had work featured at the Museum of Modern Art.
Early life and education
Evelyn Straus was born on June 22, 1916, in Brooklyn, New York, to Dorothy C. and William R. Straus. She had an older brother, William Leroy Straus. From a young age, she developed an interest in photography, when an uncle bought her a camera and taught her how to use it. By the age of twelve or thirteen, she was experimenting with a photographic enlarger and had her own darkroom set up in her home. She began her secondary education at Franklin K. Lane High School in New York City, but transferred to Hempstead High School in 1931, when her family relocated to Nassau County, New York. After graduating from high school in 1933, Straus attended the Nassau County Collegiate Center for three years, and competed in sports, being named "Best Girl Athlete" at the school in 1937. She majored in liberal arts and social sciences, and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Career
Straus began working at the Daily News in New York City in the advertising department in 1938 and later worked in the publicity department. During World War II many of the male photographers working in the press went overseas, opening opportunities for women. In 1942, Straus was transferred to become a trainee in news photography. She was the first woman the Daily News employed as part of their photography staff. She covered all types of stories, from politics to society, natural disasters to social movements, and general assignments to features. When asked if she needed special skills to do the job, Straus advised that other than athleticism, the job required customized wearing apparel. High heels and flat shoes were impractical, so she wore a walking shoe with a medium heel. She also had her clothes custom tailored to ensure that there were adequate pockets to carry personal items as well as film and flashbulbs.
In July 1945, four months after the National Press Photographers Association was founded, Straus joined the organization along with five other women — Margaret Hazel of The Louisville Times, Adelaide Leavy of ACME Newspictures, Sodelvia Rihn of the Baltimore News-Post, Lucille Tandy of The San Diego Tribune and Libby Whitman of The Canton Repository. In 1952, still the only woman camera operator at the Daily News, Straus joined the Press Photographers Association of New York City, when they admitted women. The following year, her photograph, Panhandling Costello was among the six finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Photography, though she lost to William M. Gallagher. One of her most iconic photographs appeared on the front page of the Daily News during the labor strikes that plagued William O'Dwyer's term as mayor from 1946 to 1949. It featured O'Dwyer mopping his brow during union negotiations. When Bob Warner did a series featuring women news photographers in the early 1960s for Editor & Publisher, he estimated that there were only about twenty full-time camerawomen in the news business at that time. Straus was one of them. Straus was well-known in political and celebrity circles and had work included in the 1973 exhibit, From the Picture Press at the Museum of Modern Art. She worked at the Daily News until her retirement in 1975.
Personal life
When Straus retired, she moved to Montauk, New York, with her long-time partner Margaret "Peggy" Moffatt. Moffatt had been born in Nainital, India, while her parents were serving as missionaries there from 1920 to 1945. She attended Yakima High School in Yakima, Washington, and earned a nursing certification. She worked at the American Lake Veterans' Hospital in Pierce County, Washington, in the 1950s, but had moved to New York City in the 1960s, where she was employed as a nurse at Southampton Hospital. From 1967, the two women were vacationing together in Montauk at a cottage they kept on South Endicott Place in Lower Shepherds Neck and steadily entertained Moffatt's family members.
Death and legacy
Straus died at the Southampton Hospital on Long Island, New York, on March 10, 1992. She is remembered for her pioneering role as a photojournalist and one of the few women to enter the field in the United States in the 1940s.

Homage to Africa (also released as Hommage to Africa) is an album by American free jazz drummer Sunny Murray. It was recorded in Paris in August 1969, and released on the BYG Actuel label in 1970. On the album, Murray is joined by saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell, Archie Shepp and Kenneth Terroade, trumpeter Lester Bowie, cornetist Clifford Thornton, trombonist Grachan Moncur III, vocalist Jeanne Lee, pianist Dave Burrell, bassist Alan Silva, and percussionists Malachi Favors, Earl Freeman, and Arthur Jones.
The album was recorded as part of a marathon week-long BYG session which also produced Murray's Sunshine as well as albums by artists such as Archie Shepp (Yasmina, a Black Woman, Poem for Malcolm, and Blasé), the Art Ensemble Of Chicago (Message to Our Folks and Reese and the Smooth Ones), Grachan Moncur III (New Africa), Alan Silva (Luna Surface), Dave Burrell (Echo), Andrew Cyrille (What About?), and Jimmy Lyons (Other Afternoons).
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Eugene Chadbourne wrote: "The two-part track 'Suns of Africa' involves a good dozen players, many of them big names in free jazz, in a kind of big gloppy piece that, even if it was well recorded, would probably not hold up to repeated listenings. A second part of this piece, less then two minutes long, seems to have been concocted from whatever the engineer was able to catch when he flipped the tape. The second side... is a much more exciting performance, although bad recording definitely hampers the trombone sound, as well as everything else including the leader's drums. The tune 'R.I.P.' is one of Murray's better compositions; simple but put together very well."
Writing for Red Bull Music Academy, Britt Robson remarked: "'Suns of Africa,' performed by a 13-piece band, is notable for its restraint. Multiple bells and percussion, then braided flute and wordless vocals, all work to provide a ceremonial ambiance well-suited for a big canvas... The remaining two songs are best remembered for Murray's drum solo at the end of... 'R.I.P,' giving listeners a jolt of his low end thrust on bass drum and tom toms."
Critic Norman C. Weinstein commented: "The title cut... immediately established Murray as the most gentle of drummers and composers... Murray maintains an atmosphere of constant and refined coolness and gentleness throughout the recording. The impact is like that of viewing an exquisitely woven expanse of African kente cloth for the first time: dazzling bold colors softly modulate in and out of attention, as the stripes of color seem to float in a rhythmically pulsing paradise... Homage to Africa... includes three dirges, and no drummer or composer in jazz puts as much delicate sweetness as well as muscular torque into dirges."

Snake in the Grass was a schooner launched in March 1804 at Saybrook on the Connecticut River by Captain Richard Hayden who sold her in May in New York. Her owners registered her there on 9 May, had her fitted out at Salem, Massachusetts, and armed her with five guns. Under the command of Captain James Mansfield, she sailed to Saint-Domingue, where a French privateer captured her without a shot being fired. The French government, concerned with the rebellion there and vessels bringing arms to the rebels, had decided that any American vessel sailing to Saint-Domingue would be treated as a pirate. Snake in the Grass was taken to Guadeloupe, where she was condemned in 1806.

Sarah Kiptoo Cheriwoi (born 1989) is a Kenyan-born long-distance runner who is the winner of the 2014 Casablanca International Marathon as well as the 2013 and 2016 Grandma's Marathon, the 2017 Philadelphia Marathon and several other American road races.
Professional career
Before winning the Grandma's Marathon in June 2013 (and setting a new course record), Kiptoo ran and won several half marathons (as well as 5K and 10K road races) in the Netherlands, Finland, France, and England, while also finishing third at the Helsinki Marathon and top-10 in the Reims à Toutes Jambes, Madrid Half Marathon, Prague Half Marathon and Great Bristol Half Marathon.
She took the 30,000-runner Indianapolis Half Marathon woman's win in 2013 as well, clocking a 1:12:26.
In May 2013, she was in Cleveland, Ohio, for the Cleveland Rite Aid Marathon. With a time of 2:33:42, Kiptoo won the race while lowering her personal record by more than 10 minutes. She won the race again in 2014.
Her first Grandma's Marathon in 2013 showed her aggressive running style and characteristic fast start. She had trained in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and arrived at the shores of Lake Superior ready to push the pace. She left Everlyne Lagat and clocked 1:11:31 at the half marathon mark, then kept the speed high to break Firiya Sultanova's course-record time from 2003. Kiptoo finished in 2:26:32 and won $20,000 along with a new Toyota Corolla.
She returned to the race in 2014, finishing third. In 2015, she was leading, but Jane Kibii passed her in the last mile. But when she arrived on a humid June day in 2016, things were different. She drank fluids copiously and kept looking over her shoulder to find Clara Santucci and Serkalem Biset Abrha. They wouldn't catch her—she broke the tape in first place with a 2:33:28 finish.
She also ran the California International Marathon in 2013 after the Houston Marathon canceled due to inclement weather. In the Sacramento race, she dueled with Paige Siemers, Jeannette Faber and Pasca Cheruiyot to finish second in 2:31:23, as Rebecca Wade finished first with a course record of 2:29:21. In 2016, she returned to the race in top form. She started in the lead pack and continued to pull ahead of some of the top runners in the nation by winning in 2:31:20, outpacing Stephanie Bruce and Lauren Jimison.
She raced the Big Sur Half Marathon and won back-to-back victories in 2013 and 2014, clocking her personal best half marathon time (1:11:21) in the first win.
In 2014, she was a top competitor at the USATF Half Marathon Championships.
In 2016, Kiptoo was making headlines in her hometown. She took first in the Santa Fe Thunder Half Marathon, winning in 1:15:52 (she had finished second in 2013 and 2014).
In 2017, Kiptoo arrived in Philadelphia with another New Mexican runner, Boniface Kongin. The two would lead men and women in the chilly, windy morning at the Philadelphia Marathon, with Kiptoo finishing in 2:38:13. She returned in 2018 to finish third as Serkalem Biset Abrha set a course record.
In October 2019, Kiptoo and hundreds of other runners had great conditions at the start of the Duke City Marathon in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wearing her purple Grandma's Marathon T-shirt, she won the race and set her sights on returning to the Philadelphia Marathon.
Kiptoo was back in Kenya after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but returned to Duluth for the 2021 Grandma's Marathon. She faded out though, and did not finish. In the summer of 2019, Kiptoo was back at Grandma's Marathon, but didn't have a good day and dropped out.
Kiptoo has finished 1st in over 25 races domestically and internationally, winning more than $150,000 in prize money.
Personal life
Kiptoo has 10 siblings. She is the only elite runner in her family. She has two children (as of 2014). Kiptoo lives and trains in New Mexico with the AmeriKenyan Running Club. In the mid-2010s, she worked with agent Scott Robinson.

The Champions Chess Tour 2022, known for sponsorship reasons as the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour, is a 9-month series of nine online chess tournaments featuring some of the world's top players, who play for a prize money pool of US$1.6 million. The tour started on February 19, 2022 and will last until November 20, 2022.
Schedule
There are 9 tournaments in the tour: 6 labelled as Regular and 3 labelled as Major.
Format
The format will be similar to that in the previous season, with some innovations.
Qualification
Regular
Each Regular tournament will have 16 participants. In all Regular tournaments but the first, the top 8 players from the previous tournament (Regular or Major) will be invited. The remaining spots are filled by wildcards chosen by the organizer.
Major
Each Major tournament will have 8 participants: the top two players of each of the previous two Regular tournaments, the top two players in the overall tour standings, and two wildcards. The tour regulations do not specify what happens if these groups of players overlap.
Time controls
Three different time controls are used in the tour:
In rapid games, each player has 15 minutes, plus a 10-second increment for each move.
In blitz games, each player has 5 minutes, plus a 3-second increment for each move.
In Armageddon games, White has 5 minutes and Black has 4 minutes, with no increment.
Stages
Regular
Each Regular tournament consists of a preliminary stage with 15 rounds and a knockout stage with three rounds. In the preliminary stage, 16 players participate in a round-robin spanning four days, with each player playing one rapid game against each other player, for a total of 120 games. In contrast to the previous season, a win scores 3 points and a draw scores 1 point. The eight players with the most points advance to the next stage. Ties are resolved according to the following criteria, in that order:
Result in the game(s) between the tied players
Number of wins (including forfeits)
Sonneborn–Berger score
Koya score
In the quarterfinals and semifinals, each matchup consists of four rapid games played on a single day, with one point for a win and half a point for a draw. Ties are resolved by a playoff consisting of two blitz games. If these also end in a tie, an Armageddon game is played; if this ends in a draw, the Black player wins the round. The player who ranked higher in the preliminary stage gets to pick a colour.
The final consists of two matches of four rapid games each, played on successive days. Each match is scored separately. A tie (if each player wins one match or both matches are tied) is resolved as in the other knockout rounds. There is no match for third place.
Major
Each Major tournament will be a round-robin tournament among eight players, without a knockout stage. Each pair of players plays a match of four rapid games as in the knockout stage of Regular tournaments, including blitz and Armageddon tie-breaks if necessary. If the match is decided in the rapid games, the winner gets 3 match points; if it is decided in tie-breaks, the winner gets 2 match points and the loser 1 match point. Ties in the total match points at the end of the tournament are resolved according to the following criteria, in that order:
Result in the game(s) between the tied players
Number of wins (including forfeits)
Tour points and prize money
There is no longer a distinction between tour points and prize money as in the previous season. The player who accumulates the most prize money over the course of the tour wins the tour. The winner is awarded an additional $50,000.
Regular
The total prize pool for a Regular tournament is $150,000, of which $60,000 are distributed as follows:
In other words, $2,000 are awarded for reaching the quarterfinals, $4,000 for winning a quarterfinal, $9,000 for winning a semifinal and $10,000 for winning a final.
The remaining $90,000 can be won in the preliminary stage, with $250 being awarded per point, that is, $750 for a win and $250 for a draw. The remaining $250 in case of a draw accumulate in a bonus pot that starts out with $20,000 and is used for performance awards at the end of the season.
Major
The total prize pool for a Major tournament is $210,000, with $2,500 being awarded for each match point. A player with less than 2 match points nevertheless receives $5,000, but only the prize money earned with match points is included in the tour standings.

2 Samuel 7 is the seventh chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 2–8 which deals with the period when David set up his kingdom.
Text
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 29 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 6–7, 22–29.
Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).

Analysis
This chapter deals with two important issues, building a temple and succession to David's
throne; an introduction to succession narratives in 2 Samuel 9–10 and 1 Kings 1–2. It is one of the most important section in the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) and has been subject to intense research.
There are three scenes in this chapter:
1. David and Nathan: David proposed a "house" for the Ark of the Covenant (7:1–3)
2. Nathan and God: the divine oracle
a. God, who redeemed Israel, decides on his house (7:4–7)
b. (wě‘attâ) God will build a house for David (7:8–17)
3. David and God: David's response
a. David praises God's redemptive acts (7:18-24)
b. (wě‘attâ) David's prayer (7:25–29)
The second and third scenes are in parallel, with the first section of each scene recalling God's redemptive acts (specifically referring to the Exodus from Egypt), and the second section, introduced with wě‘attâ (could be rendered as "and now" or "now therefore"; 2 Samuel 7:8, 25), signaling a consequence based on the premise in the first section.
Oracles on the House for God and House of David (7:1–17)
Verses 1–17 appear to be one unit, although it contains two separate oracles concerning two different issues:
The appropriateness of constructing a temple (verses 1–7)
The succession to David's throne (verses 8–16)
King David consulted Nathan, a court-prophet and king's advisor, about his intention to build a temple to house the Ark of the Covenant; similar divine consultations for building temples were found in extra-biblical parallels, such as in the Egyptian Königsnovelle. Nathan then conveyed the first oracle of YHWH (verses 5 and 7) that David was prohibited from building a temple for YHWH in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 22:8; 28:3; 1 Kings 5:17). Nathan later support Solomon, son of David, to be king (1 Kings 1–2) and to build a Solomonic temple.
The second oracle (verses 8–16) addresses a different issue, succession to David's throne, linked to the first by the same historical setting (verses 1–3) and by employing the word bayit ("house") in two different ways: David was not allowed to build for YHWH a 'house' (bayit, verses 5, 6, 13), but YHWH was going to establish for David a 'dynasty' (bayit, verses 11, 16; thus, "house" of David). The core message of the second oracle is as follows: David had been called by God (verse 9) and protected against his enemies and made into a great name (verse 10); God would raise up his son to succeed him and would establish his kingdom (verse 12) and he would enjoy the status of God's son (verse 14). Additional elements are God's care of the
people of Israel (verses 10–11), the eternity of David's kingdom (verses 13,16) and the contrast between David and Saul (verses 14b–15). The combined theme of David's greatness and the certainty of succession can be found in between this oracle and other texts, such as Psalm 89 by Ethan the Ezrahite.
In 1 Kings 5:3–4, Solomon explained that while David was given "rest" from his enemies, it was not to the higher degree of "rest" given to Solomon, with neither "adversary nor misfortune" to impede the
Temple's construction, as the fulfillment of
God's covenant to 'give Israel rest from its adversaries' (Deuteronomy 12:10 and 25:19), to 'fight Israel's battles' (Deuteronomy 3:22), and to 'bestow on them the Promised Land'.
Verses 1–2
Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies all around, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.”
"Nathan the prophet": played important roles in three key junctures of David's reign: (1) gave oracle of the House of God and House of David (2 Samuel 7), (2) conveyed God's rebuke for David's adultery with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12), (3) prompted the aged David to declare Solomon as his successor (1 Kings 1), while being a prophetic advisor for David (2 Chronicles 29:25) and a biographer of David and Solomon (1 Chronicles 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29).
Verse 16
[YHWH says] "And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever."
"Before you": Septuagint reads "before me".
The prayer of David (7:18–29)
The second half of the chapter contains David's prayer, which could be connected with bringing the ark to Jerusalem (6:1–19) rather than with the dynastic oracle in 7:1–7. In addition there were allusions to God's promise and its 'eternal' nature (verses 22, 28–29), God's redemption of his people from Egypt (verses 23–24), and several Deuteronomistic themes (verses 22b–26).
Verse 23
And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?
"For Your land": according to Masoretic Text. Septuagint version reads "to drive out" () as in 1 Chronicles 17:21.

Michaś Naŭmovič (, 3 October 1922 – 8 March 2004) was a prominent figure of the Belarusian diaspora in France, artist and physiotherapist.
Early years
Naŭmovič was born into a farming family in the village of Kašaliova in Navahrudak district, Second Polish Republic (nowadays – Belarus) on 3 October 1922. He attended Polish primary schools in Kašaliova and Navahrudak. One of his primary teachers, (who would later become a prominent figure of the Belarusian diaspora in Germany and the USA as well as the Minister of Education of the Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic), recommended Naŭmovič to continue his education in a Polish gymnasium in Navahrudak. Following the Soviet annexation of Western Belarus, Russian became the language of instruction in the gymnasium. Naŭmovič did not speak this language well, did not want to understand and accept the Soviet power, which was the reason of numerous conflicts during his studies. At this time he also started learning painting he showed a great talent for.
On 4 July 1941 Navahrudak was occupied by the Nazis. The Gebit commissar (regional commander) had authorised to open a Belarusian school where Naŭmovič continued his education and which he graduated from in 1944. Along with all other graduates he was issued a diploma featuring the swastika which would pose additional difficulties in higher education and employment afterwards.
The Belarusian Home Guard and the Anders' Army
In 1944 Naŭmovič was conscripted into the Belarusian Home Guard and sent to an officer school in Minsk. However, the German troops had to retreat from Minsk due to the advance of the Soviet army. All the cadets of the school were re-conscripted into the 30th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Belarusian) which was also retreating. During a Soviet bombardment of Vilna, Naŭmovič managed to escape from the division to a forest and fled to Besançon, France. In the autumn of 1944 he turned to the French partisans.
Despite an appeal to return to the Soviet Union, Naŭmovič joined the Anders' Army in the end of 1944 because all the cadets of the officer school in Minsk had been sent to prisoner camps in Siberia and such a return would be dangerous.
In June 1945 Naŭmovič relocated to Italy where he worked as a clerk in the court of the 7th Division of the Anders Army.
Life and death in France
In 1947 Naŭmovič was discharged from the Army and moved to Paris where he embarked on an artistic career. Initially, he lived on a stipend from Vatican procured for him and his friends by Archimandrite Leo Garoshka.
Naŭmovič graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture of the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1953 and a physiotherapeutic school in Paris in 1955. Apart from his artistic career, he taught anatomy and morphology in public and private schools of physiotherapy and arts.
Naŭmovič died on 4 March 2004 in a village near Paris.
Prominent figure of the Belarusian diaspora
Naŭmovič headed the Union of Belarusian Working Emigrants in France (Belarusian: Хаўрус беларускай працоўнай эміграцыі ў Францыі) starting from 1946.
In 1948, together with his friend Janka Filistovič, Naŭmovič established a Belarusian youth organisation in France and started publishing the magazine " Maladość” (“Youth"). Later, he published this magazine together with Leo Garoshka who was also involved in publishing another journal for the Belarusian diaspora, “Božym Šlacham” (“”).
Between 1949 and 1952 Naŭmovič headed the Belarusian youth organisation, the Union of Belarusian Students, and the Belarusian Union of Combatants.
He also served as a representative in France of the Belarusian Committee of Victims of Radiation established in 1989 within the Belarusian Catholic Mission in London at the initiative of Father Alexander Nadson.
Naŭmovič was a member of the Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic.
Artistic works
Naŭmovič is the author of more than ten stone sculptures including the tombstone on Mikola Ravienski's grave, sculptures for churches, the Pont Alexandre III and the Pont Neuf in Paris, as well as the work “The Wedding in Canne of Galileo”. He won a competition for the creation of a statue of Joan of Ark. He illustrated several books written by Belarusian authors and published outside Belarus in 1950-1960, including “Spadčyna” (“My Heritage”) by Janka Kupala, “Symon-muzyka” (“Symon the Musician”) by Jakub Kolas, “Matčyn dar” (“A Mother's Gift”) by Aliés Harun, the journal “Lia čužych bierahoŭ” (“By Strange Shores”). Naŭmovič also painted with watercolours. He donated several of his works to the Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum.

The Socotran pipistrelle or Lanza's pipistrelle (Hypsugo lanzai) is an endangered species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is endemic to Socotra Island in Yemen, and is the only mammal thought to be endemic to the island.
Taxonomy
Previously thought to represent an insular population of the desert pipistrelle (H. ariel), a 2011 study found it to be morphologically distinct from other Hypsugo species, and described it as a distinct species. It is named after Italian biologist Benedetto Lanza. It is recognized as a distinct species by the IUCN Red List, American Society of Mammalogists, and ITIS.
Distribution and habitat
It is found only on Socotra, where it is found throughout at all altitudes. It inhabits sparse, dry xeric shrubland habitat.
Description
It is the largest member of the arabicus-group of Hypsugo (also including H. ariel and the Arabian pipistrelle, H. arabicus). Its braincase is higher compared to the other species in the group. It is also much darker in coloration than other members of the group.
Status
This species has a restricted range, being found only on a single island. It is thought to be threatened by climate change, primarily due to more frequent major tropical cyclones (with the 2015 and 2019 cyclone seasons being thought to have been especially damaging), as well as increasing aridification of its habitat. It is also thought to be threatened by increasing unplanned development in the area, which may have further knock-on effects on the already-stressed ecosystem.

Sir Anthony Siaguru (4 November 1946 – 16 April 2004) was a Papua New Guinean civil servant, lawyer, international diplomat, politician, sportsman and anti-corruption campaigner.
Early life and education
Anthony Siaguru was born on 4 November 1946 in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). After school in Wewak, capital of East Sepik Province, he studied at Marist College Ashgrove, a Roman Catholic day and boarding primary and secondary school for boys, located in the northern Brisbane suburb of Ashgrove, in Queensland, Australia. In 1971 he was among the first graduates in law from the University of Papua New Guinea. In 1972 he was attached to the Australian Foreign Service and spent a brief period at the Australian mission in Geneva. There were further studies from 1980, at the Harvard Institute for International Development at Harvard University in the United States, as an Edward S. Mason Fellow, with the benefit of a Fulbright Scholarship. Learning rugby union in Australia, Siaguru became captain and, later, coach, of the Papua New Guinea national rugby union team.
Career
Papua New Guinea became independent in late 1975. At the time Siaguru graduated, there was a strong demand for graduates who could play leading roles in the public service, as these positions were mainly occupied by Australians. By the time of independence, Siaguru had become the first Secretary for Foreign Affairs and Trade. In this position he played a significant role in negotiations between Pacific Island countries and Australia and New Zealand, leading ultimately to the establishment of the South Pacific Regional Trade and Economic Co-operation Agreement (SPARTECA) in 1981, which allowed smaller South Pacific Island countries tariff-free access for many of their exports into Australian and NZ markets. He negotiated PNG's associate membership of the European Union under the Lomé Agreement, as well as the Torres Strait Treaty with Australia and a border agreement with Indonesia. Siaguru played a major role in shaping PNG's foreign policy of "Friends to All, Enemies to None" and in persuading the prime minister, Michael Somare, to give diplomatic recognition to China.
Together with Mekere Morauta in the Ministry of Finance, Rabbie Namaliu in the Public Service Commission, and Charles Lepani of the National Planning Office, Siaguru became one of the so-called "Gang of Four" young Papua New Guinean senior public servants who coordinated policy development and government programmes.
Siaguru helped organise the 1982 election campaign for the Pangu Pati, which was led by Michael Somare. In a country where there are numerous political parties, requiring problematic coalitions, the Pangu Pati victory in 1982 was the most successful result for a single party in PNG's history. Siaguru was elected to parliament in that year, winning a seat in Port Moresby, and becoming the minister for the public service in 1982–84 and the minister for youth and development in 1985. Following a split in the party, however, Siaguru joined together with John Nilkare and Sir Barry Holloway to form a new party, the League for National Advancement (LNA), but Siaguru was not re-elected in 1987, although the party gained seats in 1987 and again in 1992. In 1987 he joined the international law company, Blake Dawson Waldron. In February 1990, Siaguru became deputy secretary-general for political affairs at the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, serving for five years. Among his roles was to support the transition process from apartheid in South Africa, leading up to the 1994 election when the African National Congress, led by Nelson Mandela achieved a majority.
Siaguru returned to PNG in 1996 and went back to working with Blake Dawson Waldron. He became a pioneering leader in the country's civil society. He was much in demand as a board member of private companies and was the founding chairman of the Port Moresby Stock Exchange; chairman of Pacific Reinsurance; deputy chairman of Lihir Gold, which provided a successful model for establishing community relations with extraction industries; a director of Steamships Trading Company; chairman of the oil palm producer Pacific Rim Plantations; chairman of PNG Water; chairman of an investment fund; and a director of the Papua New Guinea Post-Courier. He represented PNG on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Advisory Council and was a member of the Policy Advisory Council of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). For the Post-Courier, he wrote a weekly column called In House, in which he condemned corruption in PNG, and made proposals for constitutional reform, in part to address the numerous political parties in the country. His writings were later published as a book, called In House in Papua New Guinea with Anthony Siaguru.
Reflecting his concerns about corruption in the country, Siaguru became the founding chairman of the PNG chapter of Transparency International. He launched the Integrity Pact at the time of the 1997 national elections, requiring politicians to sign a Charter committing themselves to transparent governance.
Death
Siaguru died of 16 April 2004 in Brisbane, while undergoing treatment for liver cancer. He was survived by his wife, Wilhelmina (Mina), who served for many years as Chairperson of PNG's Commission for Higher Education, whom he married in 1972, and three sons.
Awards and posthumous recognition
Siaguru was appointed as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1990.
In 2004, the Post-Courier newspaper announced that it was instituting an annual “Sir Anthony Siaguru Investigative Journalism Scholarship” for one of its journalist interns to go to Australia to work with investigative journalists at one of Australia's leading newspapers.
Transparency International established a fund known as the Siaguru Endowment Fund, to give the Port Moresby office an ongoing capacity to continue the anti-corruption work of Siaguru.
An annual “Sir Anthony Siaguru Walk against Corruption” is held in Port Moresby.

The (French) or (Dutch) is a square in Brussels, Belgium. It is named in honour of Nicolas-Jean Rouppe (1768–1838), the first mayor of the City of Brussels following the Belgian Revolution of 1830. Rectangular and symmetrical in shape, it is located in the Midi–Lemonnier or Stalingrad Quarter (southern part of the City of Brussels), between the / and the /.
History
The Place Rouppe was inaugurated on 26 September 1841 as a forecourt for Bogards' railway station, Brussels' first South Station, so-called for the former cloister of the Bogards' convent whose site it was built on, and to which the / is nowadays the only reference. The former presence of a station at this location also explains the unusual width of the current /, which goes from the square to the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road), a reminder of the train tracks that used to run in its middle.
In 1848, the Rouppe Fountain was inaugurated in the middle of the square. It was designed by the architect Joseph Poelaert and the sculptor Charles-Auguste Fraikin. In 1869, a new South Station was built on the site of the current Brussels-South Station, because Bogards' station had already become too small. The current layout, a central square surrounded by a cast iron gate and rows of trees, dates from 1884 and was designed by the city's architect .
Rouppe Fountain
Since 1844, the centre of square has been occupied by a monumental fountain known as the Rouppe Fountain. This monument, the work of Joseph Poelaert, and originally bearing a medallion bust of Rouppe, was inaugurated in 1848. It was inspired by the fountains of the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
The fountain is made up of two basins; the water from the upper bronze basin flows into the lower blue stone basin through twelve lion mouths. At the request of the City of Brussels, the sculptor Fraikin, a former student of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, replaced the original medallion with an allegorical white marble statue representing the City of Brussels. She holds a laurel wreath in one hand and wears a reproduction of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula on her head.

The Owner of the River Bank is a live album by pianist Cecil Taylor. It was recorded at the Talos Festival in Ruvo di Puglia, Italy in September 2000, and was released in 2003 by Enja Records. On the album, Taylor is joined by members of the Italian Instabile Orchestra. The concert was presented in honor of the tenth anniversary of the orchestra.
Reception
In a review for The Guardian, John Fordham wrote: "Parts of the performance echo Taylor's great concerto performance of the late 1960s, with the American Jazz Composers Orchestra under Michael Mantler. But this music, though showing a similarly sculptural approach to the overlaying of sounds, is less bleak, more vivacious and varied than Mantler's. It displays Taylor's fondness for mirroring his explosive piano playing with restlessly intense percussion. The leader's nervous, mercurial runs and low-register chords contrast sharply with this virtuosic orchestra's softer voices, particularly Gianluigi Trovesi's alto sax and the airborne brightness of the trumpet players. The Instabile's free-collective confidence builds rich textures of trombone smears, wriggling trumpet lines and raw sax voicings around Taylor's surging intensity. And if the leader's early roots in Ellington and Thelonious Monk are barely audible nowadays, his models still drive his faith in open music-making and a conviction that your own personal momentum, rather than a borrowed one, can drive a unique kind of swing."
Writing for All About Jazz, Jim Santella commented: "From the sounds of an orchestra warming up, to a subdued conclusion that rumbles deeply and insignificantly, Taylor's piece takes his audience on a journey through scenery that changes gradually and often... His form of communication at the piano provides instant connection with the other artists. They 'speak out' through their instruments and the leader replies. If it were that easy, then every little boy or girl could be a world-class musician. The veteran members of the Italian Instabile Orchestra... respond collectively with clarion tones and seamless phrases that knowingly communicate with musical sounds... All the rest is highly creative art that comes from the mind of Taylor, a pioneer and innovator of avant-garde fashion."
In a second article for All About Jazz, Jerry D'Souza stated: "Taylor sets up the soundscape with the strings in oleaginous flow, the horns coming in to twitter, the rhythm scattershot. The eddying eye of the timbre whirls giddily as the horns rip in with caterwaul and coil the driving forces. The diminuendo comes in, drums, a skeetering horn, the soft notes of the piano filtering in and through. The Orchestra has a penchant for using voices in full throated animation. These players' trait does not escape them, and in giving vent to it they wrap themselves around the trajectory of the instruments. Taylor splashes colour across a divergent canvas in the fourth movement, on which he gives himself plenty of room. He is poetry in motion, in free verse."

Thomas James Serle (1798–1889) was an English dramatist and actor. He was also a journalist with the Weekly Dispatch.
Early life
Serle was born in Gracechurch Street, London, on 28 October 1798, and educated for the Bar. Between the ages of 16 and 18, he wrote four five-act plays, which were presented to Drury Lane Theatre by Peter Moore, then on its committee, without result.
At the age of 18 Serle played Romeo at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, with John Vandenhoff as Mercutio, in Romeo and Juliet; and soon after (1820 and 1821) played the lead in Hamlet at Cambridge, Croydon, and seven times at the Regency Theatre, Tottenham Court Road. He brought out a five-act play there, and acted the principal character, Rupert Duval, over three nights. Serle next played a season at the old Royalty Theatre, opening in Hamlet, at the time when Clarkson Frederick Stanfield painted the scenery there.
On tour
Playing in the provincess, Serle brought out Waltheoff the Saxon in Exeter, and The Parricide at Dover. He managed the Dover theatre for two seasons, and played at Boulogne in the summer of 1824. In the spring of 1825, he played at the Royal Park Theatre in Brussels, while François-Joseph Talma was playing at La Monnaie. Talma introduced himself behind the scenes, and mentioned Serle at the British Embassy favourably. Thérésa Tallien, Princesse de Chimaye, bespoke his Hamlet the second time.
Return to London
Serle returned to England, playing at Lincoln and other venues. He was engaged at Covent Garden Theatre, and opened in Hamlet, during November 1825. He remained there three seasons, playing with Edmund Kean, Charles Mayne Young and Charles Kemble. He played at Norwich, and then at the Royal Coburg Theatre, with Kean. He translated and adapted Dominique, Victim of St. Vincent, and The Man in the Iron Mask, playing the principal characters.
When an attempt was made around 1830 by the London patent theatres to close their rival minor theatres, Serle took part in the resistance movement. There was a majority in the House of Commons for abolishing the monopoly, but the Lords threw out the Bill. Afterwards, however, a jury refused to convict in the case of D. W. Osbaldiston, the manager of the Surrey Theatre.
1830s
Serle then wrote the Merchant of London, a play in five acts, produced at Drury Lane Theatre in the spring of 1832; House of Colberg, in five acts, autumn of same year, William Macready acting in both. Serle about this time called together the "Dramatic Authors", by advertisement signed by himself and Douglas Jerrold, and so helped to found the Dramatic Authors Society, of which he was Honorary Secretary for some years. It acted as a pressure group for legitimate drama.
Serle's next production was The Yeoman's Daughter, a domestic drama, in two acts, in which, with the Lyceum Company, at the Adelphi Theatre, he played the principal character. In 1833 was produced The Ghost Story, two acts, under Bond's management at the Adelphi.
Serle became in 1834 stage-manager at the English Opera, Lyceum Theatre, and opened it with an address written and spoken by himself, The Yeoman’s Daughter being the first piece. In this year he wrote and spoke the Prologue to Miss Mitford's tragedy of Charles II, produced at the Victoria Theatre (the renamed Royal Coburg Theatre), under William Abbot and Daniel Egerton.
In 1835 Serle produced and acted in The Shadow on the Wall, at the Lyceum (then also called the English Opera House), two acts; and Widow Queen, comedy, two acts. In Richard John Raymond's The Old Oak Tree, based on the memoirs of Jean Henri Latude, he played Latude there.
In 1836, Serle spoke the Prologue to the tragedy of Ion, on its first representation at Covent Garden, for Macready's benefit, and wrote The Witch's Son, two acts. He lectured on the plays of Shakespeare and dramatic subjects at institutions in London, Liverpool, and Manchester.
Serle joined the Covent Garden company under Macready in the autumn of 1837. He produced Afrancesado, Parole of Honour and Joan of Arc, each in two acts. The title role in Joan of Arc was played by Mary Huddart (later Warner); Henry Crabb Robinson thought well of the plot. Serle was acting manager, for the season 1838–9, and produced Agnes Bernauer, two acts. In 1840, he brought out Master Clarke, a play in five acts, on the subject of Richard Cromwell, at the Haymarket Theatre — Cromwell being acted by Macready. In autumn of 1840, he wrote four plays on the history of France, to be read as lectures, and read them at London institutions: The Proscribed, The Jacquerie, The Queen and the Minister and Gaston de Foix, each in five acts.
1840s
In autumn of 1841, Serle resumed acting management with Macready, at Drury Lane. He translated and adapted Sappho from Saffo, the opera by Giovanni Pacini. He remained acting-manager to the close of the season 1842–3, when Macready's tenure expired.
Serle's theatrical friends included Thomas James Thackeray, Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Douglas Jerrold. From then on, Serle began to concentrate on his other interests. He managed for John Mitchell (1806–1874) the English Company in Paris, 1844–5, when Macready and Helen Faucit played there; and wrote the opening address for Sadler's Wells (the Mary Warner–Samuel Phelps management). He produced there The Priest's Daughter, a tragedy.
Serle adapted Beaumont and Fletcher's Scornful Lady, and Double Marriage, for Mary Warner's management at the Marylebone Theatre. He put on a three-act domestic drama, at the Surrey Theatre, A Village Story, and a one-act comedy, Tender Precautions, at the Princess's Theatre, which was played at Windsor Castle the last time any theatrical performance was given there.
End of theatrical career
In 1852 Serle's Annie Tyrrell, or Attree Copse, with theme the execution of a poacher, was put on at the Surrey Theatre. In the end he gave up the theatrical world.
Death
Serle died, aged 90, at Novello Cottage, Worthing, on 18 March 1889.
Works
Two early five-act plays, published but not known to have been performed, were Raffaele Cimaro (1819), and Fulvius Valeus (1823). He wrote the paper on Ben Jonson in No. 2 of the Retrospective Review. The 1832 essay "The State of the Drama", often attributed to Bulwer-Lytton, is now considered to be by Serle.
In 1838 and 1839 Serle travelled over the parts of France connected with Joan of Arc. He wrote The Players: or the Stage of Life (1847), a novel and Joan of Arc, a romance, published by Henry Colburn.
Journalist
The Weekly Dispatch was a high-circulation popular newspaper in Victorian Britain. Serle wrote in it, under the pen name "Caustic". He served as its editor in the 1870s.
Family
In 1836 Serle married Cecilia (1812–1890), daughter of Vincent Novello, and sister of Mary Cowden Clarke and Clara Novello. She had been a pupil of the singing teacher Mrs. Blaine Hunt, and performed in public. Their daughter Emma Clara (died 1877) was a soprano.

The All Japan Metal and Machinery Information Workers' Union (JMIU; ) was a trade union representing workers involved in making metal and electronic goods.
The union was established in 1989 by members of the National Trade Union of Metal and Engineering Workers who disagreed with its merger into the National Metal and Machinery Workers' Union. It affiliated to two new union federations: the National Confederation of Trade Unions, and the National Trade Union Council, and by 1990, it had 12,000 members. On 31 January 2016, it merged with the Telecommunication Workers' Union, to form the Japan Metal Manufacturing, Information and Telecommunication Workers' Union.

Thunder and Fire is an album by the American band Jason & the Scorchers, released in 1989. The band promoted the album by playing shows with, among others, Webb Wilder and Bob Dylan. "When the Angels Cry" and "Find You" were released as singles.
The album was a commercial disappointment, failing to chart. The band broke up after the album's release, but reformed in the mid-1990s.
Production
The album was produced by Barry Beckett. The band placed stage lights in the studio, to reproduce the atmosphere of a live show. The Scorchers spent two years making the album, recording it with new members Andy York and Ken Fox; the band had around 45 songs from which to choose.
"My Kingdom for a Car" is a cover of the Phil Ochs song. "Bible and a Gun" was cowritten by Steve Earle. Don Schlitz cowrote "When the Angels Cry".
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "rather than successfully integrating the group's stylistic impulses, Thunder and Fire divides them into reheated rockers that short the Scorchers' personality and semi-acoustic country numbers that seem out of place." The Washington Post concluded that "comes closer to the band's high-voltage live show than any of its first three albums." The Richmond Times-Dispatch labeled that band "honest, unfussy and committed to delivering red hot rock 'n' roll." The Houston Chronicle considered it "a graceful attempt at gaining a wider audience without sacrificing the band's soul."
The Chicago Tribune determined that "Jason is no snarler–his voice is plaintive–and his melodies keep ringing long after the volume subsides." The New York Times concluded that "few bands can deliver clanging, stomping, crunching flat-out rock-and-roll like Jason and the Scorchers." The Chicago Sun-Times opined that Thunder and Fire "lacks the songwriting richness of previous efforts, but it comes close to capturing the concert sizzle of America's most incendiary roots-rock band."
AllMusic wrote that "Bible and a Gun" "recalls the best things about the roots-rock movement of the late '80s." The Providence Journal listed the album as one of the ten best of 1989. The Austin American-Statesman deemed "When the Angels Cry" "the most powerful music of the band's recorded history." The Rolling Stone Album Guide noted that the songs were still about "girls and driving."

Pierre-François Laurent (1739-1809) was an engraver and co-director with of the publication Le Musée français. As an engraver, he specialised in landscapes and genre subjects after Dutch artists. He also produced several engravings of subjects from the recent national history.
Pierre-François Laurent was born in Marseille, he was a pupil of Jean-Joseph Balechou and Étienne Fessard. In 1756 he received the award for drawing at the Académie des arts de Marseille, and he was mentioned as a member of this body when living in Paris in 1776.
His early career was known to Pierre Jean Mariette, who expressed "great hope" in his future ("des grandes espérances"), while noting that he had been active in print commerce in Marseille. It was also reported that he spent several years working in the print trade with the firm of Daudet et Joubert in Lyon, before coming to Paris. His commercial activity is evident from his filing with the city of Paris for relief from debt in 1783 -- among his losses was 6000 livres of framed prints which he had shipped to Philadelphia.
His son Henri (1779-1844), also an engraver, assisted him in the direction of the Le Musée français and, after his death, directed its completion under the title Le Musée royal in 1824. According to Basan, Pierre Laurent was also assisted by a brother, Louis Laurent, who made etchings.
His work can be found in The British Museum, The V&A, The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York and the Département des Estampes of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

Michael Marvin Snow (born October 13, 1947) is an American politician who served as a Democrat in the Georgia House of Representatives.
Political career
Snow was first elected to represent parts of Dade and Walker counties in a 1986 special election following the resignation of his predecessor, Donald F. Oliver.
Between 2002 and 2004, Snow and Republican Jay Neal faced off in four competitive elections plagued by ballot irregularities and election maladministration. An initial victory for Neal in November 2002 was overturned by courts, who ordered a special election to take place on January 7, 2003, instead. That rematch—which was won by Snow—was also overturned after it was discovered that voters who did not reside in the district were allowed to vote. A second and final special election thus took place in July 2003, with Snow emerging victorious. Though he served for the remainder of the legislative term, Snow and Neal faced off for a fourth time in 2004, with Neal winning decisively.
A Democrat in an increasingly conservative district, Snow bucked his own party and endorsed George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election along with 11 other Democratic members of the Georgia House. While in office, Snow was a resident of Chickamauga, Georgia, and operated the Wayne Snow Nursery in nearby Rock Spring.
Personal life
Snow practices Methodism. He currently resides in Atlanta.

Rank One is a high school activities management platform available as a web-based software and mobile app. Originally built for high school athletic departments, the platform has expanded its features to include management software for high school marching bands, drill teams and theatre departments. Rank One is located in the US, with corporate offices in Dallas, Texas.
History
Formation
Founded in 2007 by Brian Mann, Rank One began as Rank One Sport, and was created as a department management tool for high school athletic trainers in Texas. Early versions of the software provided athletic trainers with the ability to create and track schedules and rosters through an online dashboard. In 2009, the company introduced electronic forms, allowing athletic trainers to complete paperless student compliance forms in the software. In 2010, Rank One Sport expanded to include Oklahoma and began actively marketing to high schools outside of the Texas market and hired its first employee in 2011. In 2014, Rank One Sport was acquired by AllPlayers Network, inc. As of 2022, Jason McKay is listed as chairman and CEO of AllPlayers Network, including the Rank One brand.
Branding Variations
Rank One began as Rank One Sport in 2007. In 2018, Rank One Sport introduced a new product called Rank One Health, with similar branding and often appearing together. In 2019, the Rank One Sport and Rank One Health brands were combined under the name Rank One Sport + Health. In 2021, Rank One Sport + Health became Rank One, with features previously associated with the Rank One Health brand transferred to a new company called MedOutreach.
Contracts
In 2019 Rank One signed a State Management contract with TAPPS and a Contex Concussion and Health Management contract with University Interscholastic League (UIL) .
Partnerships
In 2018, Rank One Sport partnered with Children's Health to create a product called Rank One Health. Rank One Health was a mobile app that provided HIPAA compliant secure messaging between athletic trainers and local healthcare providers.
Rank One has established partnerships with other software companies, providing API integration to allow secure data sharing across multiple software platforms. As of 2021 Rank One has announced partnerships with companies such as Rapid Replay, From Now On and Hometown Ticketing.

This Day in June is a picture book written by Gayle E. Pitman, illustrated by Kristyna Litten, and published May 5, 2014 by Magination Press. The book follows a family as they attend a pride parade.
The book won the 2015 Stonewall Book Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature, and in 2018, it was the tenth-most banned and challenged book in the United States.
Reception
Publishers Weekly complimented the illustrations, stating, "Litten’s artwork that creates a sense of joyous excitement and showcases the diversity on display. Wisely, Litten only outlines the happy crowds and buildings in the background ..., saving color and detail for the marchers themselves."
The book was included in Advocate's "What Book Changed the Lives of Our '40 Under 40'?" Explaining the choice, staff writer Erica Anderson wrote, "I love that it teaches tolerance and acceptance and makes pride something everyone can celebrate. The book also includes a reading guide for parents."
Controversy
Due to its inclusion of LGBT content, This Day in June was the tenth-most banned and challenged book in the United States in 2018, and the 42nd-most banned and challenged book between 2010 and 2019.

The Light of Corona is a live album by Cecil Taylor recorded during the "Total Music Meeting" at the "Podewil", the headquarters of the Kulturprojekte Berlin non-profit organisation, on November 3, 1996, and released in 2003 on the FMP label. The album features Taylor with eight other musicians, and is a recording of two sections of a piece with a total duration of over an hour. The same group recorded the album Almeda the previous day.
In the album liner notes, Volker Spicker wrote: "This concert reorganised your own consciousness, took you to spheres previously unknown, took unexpected turns, concentrating on the essential things, on the living, showed the meaning of being free and creative, of being alive. The music simply mirrored the infinite processes taking place within each of us and around us at the same time, processes which equal life, inspiring sensitivity and attentiveness... The precondition is being prepared to let go of expectations, the well-known, to let yourself go... How inspiring and joyful playing together is, how full of energy and how peaceful, how intense change is, how breathtaking and different from what one thinks. How relationships are interwoven, how little is needed as framework or form for united creative activity."
Reception
In his AllMusic review, François Couture wrote: "The first piece... begins very quietly, the musicians coming on stage and starting to play one at a time, all improvising poetry and vocalizing along the way. It ends in a similar fashion, helping the listener to come down from his or her cloud after a stunning number in which Taylor plays the roles of both inducer and controller of chaos. The musicians stretch the concept of synergy to new lengths and the whole piece finds its momentum in the dichotomy between chaos and order, between individual ideas and collective coherence. At the piano, Taylor is equal to his usual self and very gracious in sharing the stage with so many musicians. After the first piece, he sits down and solos for about 5 minutes..., after which Duval joins him, followed by the others. In this piece though the piano remains the center of attention, until the whole group breaks into a vocalized coda. Jonas or Sjöström... contributes a gripping solo before that."
Writing for JazzWord, Ken Waxman commented: "The overriding impression you're left with... is how Taylor's seeming omnipotent power can bend any group of musicians to his will. Also, as with nearly every Taylor production over the past 40 years, the organization and output of the music on the CD are more singular than what you'd find in any other airing by a nine-piece band... Despite the apparent cacophony, every player appears to have his designated part down, and if you listen carefully, you'll hear each negotiating a particular way through the thicket of mostly cello-bass onslaught."

Dylan McDuffie is an American football running back for the Buffalo Bulls of the Mid-American Conference (MAC). In 2021, he was named to the All-MAC Second Team by Pro Football Network and All-MAC Third Team by the MAC Coaches and Pro Football Focus after rushing for over 1,000 yards and scoring 12 total touchdowns for the Bulls. In high school, he earned All-Western New York honors as both a running back (2016) and linebacker (2017), and was selected as a finalist for the 2016 Connolly Cup (awarded to the best high school football player in Western New York).
High school career
Growing up in the Buffalo, New York area, McDuffie attended and played football at Sweet Home High School in Amherst, New York for his freshman, sophomore, and senior seasons. He transferred to Saint Francis High School in Athol Springs, New York for his junior season before returning to Sweet Home for his senior year. He played both running back on offense and linebacker on defense in high school, earning all-star recognition at each position.
In 2016, as a junior, he earned All-Western New York Second Team honors after accumulating 1,255 rushing yards, 25 receptions, 290 receiving yards, 14 rushing touchdowns, and three receiving touchdowns as he led Saint Francis to the Monsignor Martin final. Further, he was a 2016 Connolly Cup finalist and also named Western New York’s best high school football player by the Riverside Athletic Club.
In the summer of 2017, between his junior and senior years, he was invited to and attended The Future Phenom Showcase and the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp, showcase camps for top high school players, held in New York and New Jersey, respectively.
In six games as a senior in 2017, he recorded 840 rushing yards, 14.4 yards per carry, 11 rushing touchdowns, and three receiving touchdowns, despite battling an ankle injury throughout the season. With a defensive performance that included 73 tackles, he earned a 2017 All-Western New York Honorable Mention selection as a linebacker.
In his high school career, McDuffie recorded 4,261 rushing yards and 54 touchdowns. In addition to the aforementioned awards and recognition, his high school career resume also included Catholic League MVP, All-Catholic First Team, WGRZ Offensive Player of the Year, and Ray Kearney Offensive MVP.
As a 247Sports three-star recruit prospect, and the No. 30 overall prospect in the state of New York, in the Class of 2018, he received over a dozen college football scholarship offers, in addition to interest from several other programs, including the University of Connecticut and Rutgers University, where he took unofficial visits. He ultimately committed to attend and play football for the University of Buffalo Bulls of the Mid-American Conference in Buffalo, New York.
McDuffie also ran track and played basketball in high school.
College career
2018-2020
McDuffie started his college career at Buffalo by serving as a reserve to Jaret Patterson and Kevin Marks Jr. before his breakout 2021 season in which he earned the starting running back role.
In 2018, as a true freshman, he appeared in four games, recording 14 carries for 70 yards in a reserve role behind Patterson. McDuffie ultimately redshirted his freshman season. In 2019, he appeared in 10 games at running back and on special teams as a redshirt freshman. He ran for 150 yards and 6.5 yards per carry on 23 rushes, as well as scored a receiving touchdown. In 2020, he appeared in one game and logged one carry.
2021
McDuffie entered his redshirt junior season as the backup to Marks. However, after outperforming Marks in the early portion of the season, McDuffie took over Buffalo’s starting running back role en route to a 1,000-yard and 11-touchdown season that earned him all-conference honors and garnered national attention.
He was named the MAC Offensive Player of the Week after his 143-yard, one-touchdown performance in Buffalo’s Week 7 win over Ohio. Two weeks later, in Buffalo’s game against Bowling Green, he ran for 166 yards on 34 carries, both career-highs, and two touchdowns, tying his career-high. On November 23, he eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the season after rushing for 67 yards against Ball State.
He finished the 2021 season as the Bulls’ leading rusher with 206 carries, 1,049 rushing yards, 123 receiving yards, 11 rushing touchdowns, and one receiving touchdown. With four 100-yard rushing games in 2021, he joined his uncle, Chris McDuffie, as one of only 23 Bulls players to record a 100-yard rushing game in program history since 1999. He ranked fourth in the MAC and 43rd in the nation in rushing yards, as well as sixth (tied) in the MAC and 46th (tied) in the nation in rushing touchdowns. He was named to the 2021 All-MAC Second Team by Pro Football Network (PFN) and All-MAC Third Team by both the MAC Coaches and Pro Football Focus.
Following the 2021 season, McDuffie entered the transfer portal, becoming the “second high-profile player” (joining quarterback Kyle Vantrease) from Buffalo to enter the portal. However, on January 31, 2022, after considering offers from California, Oregon, and Oklahoma, he withdrew his name from the transfer portal, and will return to Buffalo for his redshirt senior 2022 season as the team’s starting running back.
Personal life
Three of McDuffie’s uncles (Chris, Steve, and Ted McDuffie) also played football at Buffalo. Ted was the Bulls’ leading tackler (98), as well as recorded the most passes defended (10), for the 1997 season. He is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social science interdisciplinary studies.
In December 2021, he hosted a holiday toy drive, in conjunction with the Boys and Girls Club of Buffalo, to benefit local children and families. Per an interview with ABC 7 WKBW Buffalo, he cited the time he spent at various Boys and Girls Clubs in Buffalo as a child as driving factor behind his decision to host the event.

María Emilia Soria (born 20 July 1985) is an Argentine lawyer and politician, currently serving as intendenta (mayor) of General Roca, Río Negro. She belongs to the Justicialist Party.
Soria previously served as a National Deputy elected in Río Negro Province from 2013 to 2019. She is the daughter of former Río Negro governor Carlos Soria, and sister of former General Roca mayor Martín Soria.
Early life and education
Soria was born on 20 July 1985 in General Roca, Río Negro, only daughter of Carlos Ernesto Soria and Susana Freydoz. She has three brothers: Martín, Germán, and Carlos. María Emilia studied law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA), graduating in 2010. Before entering politics, she worked at a private law firm in General Roca and at the Alto Valle state attorney's office.
Political career
Soria ran for one of Río Negro's seats in the National Chamber of Deputies in the 2013 legislative election, as the first candidate in the Front for Victory list. With 50.76% of the vote, the FPV was the most voted list in the province, and Soria was easily elected. During her first term as deputy, she formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Justice, Agriculture and Livestock, Family and Women, Freedom of Expression, and Natural Resources.
She was re-elected for a second term in 2017, again as the first candidate in the FPV list, which received 49.36% of the vote. In October 2017, she voted in favour of stripping Julio De Vido of his parliamentary immunity, going against most of the FPV bloc. She also voted against the Mauricio Macri administration's 2017 pension reform. Soria was a supporter of the legalisation of abortion, voting in favour of the 2018 Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy Bill.
In 2019, she ran for the mayoralty of General Roca, and won with 56.12% of the vote. She is the city's first female mayor. She succeeded her brother, Martín, who had served as mayor since 2011. María Emilia and Martín's father, Carlos Soria, had served as mayor from 2003 to 2011. Her vacant seat in the Chamber of Deputies was filled by Ayelén Spósito.
Personal life
Soria is married and has two children. In 2012, she rose to prominence during the trial of her mother for her father's murder, a case which drew national attention.

Teratopodus (meaning "monster foot") is an ichnogenus of titanosaurian sauropod footprint. It includes a single species, T. malarguensis, known from prints found in the Late Cretaceous Anacleto Formation of Argentina. The Teratopodus tracks represent some of the best sauropod pes tracks currently known from South America.
Description
The trackway was created by two titanosaur individuals, one of which was about long, while the other was about long. Analysis of the fossils shows that the dinosaurs walked from an area of humid ground to a more flooded area.
Paleoenvironment
Several titanosaurs are known from the Anacleto Formation, including Pitekunsaurus, Narambuenatitan, Barrosasaurus, and Neuquensaurus. One of these dinosaurs potentially could have made the Teratopodus prints. Remains of the ornithopod Gasparinisaura and the theropods Abelisaurus and Aucasaurus have also been recovered from the formation.

Te Pūnaha Matatini Centre for Complex Systems and Networks (known as Te Pūnaha Matatini – 'the meeting place of many faces'), is a New Zealand research centre that focusses on interpreting data about the environment, economy, and society to inform policy decision-making and public debate. Funded by the New Zealand Government, Te Pūnaha Matatini is hosted by the University of Auckland and works in partnership with other universities and organisations, including Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Te Pūnaha Matatini developed mathematical models within different scenarios and provided data to inform the response of the New Zealand Government to the pandemic. Shaun Hendy, David Hayman and Michael Plank were among the high profile members of the organisation who regularly commented on the COVID-19 pandemic in the news media at the time.
Establishment and structure
The New Zealand Government developed the Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs) in 2001 based on "international evidence that research is more likely to be successful (in terms of quality, relevance and impact) if there is a critical mass of researchers who work together to share skills, knowledge and resources." In 2012, two researchers, Shaun Hendy and Dion O'Neil began discussing how a collaborative, complex research system could make an impact, and in 2013 a proposal was submitted to the Centre of Research Excellence. After being interviewed by the Royal Society of New Zealand, it was announced in 2014 that Te Pūnaha Matatini Centre for Complex Systems and Networks, to be located in the Faculty of Science, Auckland University, was confirmed as one of the new Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs). Adam Jaffe, in 2017, at the end of a five-year tenure as Director of Motu Economic and Public Policy Research, discussed the importance of the work Motu had done in assisting with the setting up of Te Pūnaha Matatini. He said it was one his "proudest achievements...[because]...it allows economists, physicists, mathematicians and ecologists to share different ways of approaching and quantifying the impact of networks...[and]... the joint innovation and productivity research has real potential to improve the complex systems that affect people's lives and livelihoods."
Funded by the Tertiary Education Commission, Te Pūnaha Matatini aimed to be a collaborative partnership that brought together "New Zealand's leading researchers in physics, economics, mathematics, biology, computer science, operations management, statistics, and social science to study complex systems and networks in the biosphere, the economy, and the marketplace."
The organisation holds that its research spans the "breadth of human knowledge, from computational sciences to environmental economics, and from linguistics to indigenous philosophy to mathematical biology....celebrates the distinct status of Māori as tangata whenua, and is committed to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi."
Shaun Hendy was Director until June 2021, when he was replaced by Cilla Wehi Operationally the organisation is structured with Kaumatua, an Executive Team, a Strategic Group, and Principal Investigators. Dr Andrea Byrom accepted the role of Kairangi (person held in high esteem) in 2021 and Te Pūnaha Matatini whanau has a role within the organisation as a network for emerging scientists in an "active transdisciplinary community, with a shared interest in complex systems and networks, comprising postgraduate students, postdocs and early career researchers from all over New Zealand." The 2020–2021 Annual Report of Te Pūnaha Matatini recorded that in June 2021, the organisation had "25 Principal Investigators, 50 Associate Investigators, [an] Executive Management Team of 15, [over] 150 students aligned with Te Pūnaha Matatini Whānau [and] 68 students directly funded by or working on Te Pūnaha Matatini projects."
Te Pūnaha Matatini has worked in partnership with Massey University, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Canterbury, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research and Motu Economic and Public Policy Research and on October 2020,The Tertiary Education Commission reconfirmed funding for seven years from 2021.
COVID-19
Introduction
In 2020, Shaun Hendy identified a gap in the science data being provided to the New Zealand Government to inform its response to COVID-19. He set up a multi-disciplinary team as part of Te Pūnaha Matatini that developed mathematical models in different scenarios for the position New Zealand was in early in the pandemic. The modelling and analysis covered areas such as "hospital capability, contagion rates and likely disease spread, virus genomic tracing, contact tracing, and vaccination... translated for use by the government policymakers and front-line operators and helped inform the government's response to the Covid-19 pandemic." Hendy later noted that Peter-Lucas Jones from Te Aupōuri who was present at a Board meeting that confirmed the need to focus on COVID-19, told the story of how the 1918 influenza pandemic had affected his iwi and when statistician Andrew Sporle (Ngāti Apa, Rangitāne, Te Rarawa) was brought in to co-lead work focusing on at-risk communities an iwi-led pandemic response was shaped. Other researchers Associate Professor in Statistics Ilze Ziedins, Dr Mike O'Sullivan and Associate Professor Cameron Walker from the Faculty of Engineering worked on models to predict the effect on hospitals if the virus spread widely within New Zealand.
Modelling and commentary
In June 2020, modelling by Te Pūnaha Matatini indicated 83 per cent of New Zealanders would have needed to be vaccinated before other measures such as lockdowns were reduced but 97 per cent of the eligible people in the country would need both Pfizer jabs if the Delta variant spread. At the time, Shaun Hendy said it was unlikely that level of vaccine coverage would be reached. Principal Investigator Michael Plank said that just reaching a vaccination target would not give total default protection against the virus and "other communities which were hard to access or more at-risk to the virus might have lower rates of vaccination."
As Auckland faced a second lockdown in August 2021, Hendy noted the significance of identification of links to border cases as this indicated fewer cases spreading in the community. He later suggested that, despite a caveat to the prediction because of the possible effect of the opening some shops, modelling indicated that Auckland's outbreak could peak by November 2021. He said that the improving rate of vaccinations in the country might reduce the chance of the numbers increasing rapidly but a focus was needed on getting vulnerable rural communities vaccinated.
When Jacinda Ardern announced a possible re-opening of the borders between Australia and New Zealand in April 2022, Hendy said this was a "significant milestone" in the approach of New Zealand to COVID-19 and Michael Plank said it showed the benefit of the elimination strategies pursued in both countries. Their comments however were tempered by the possibility of there being an escalation of the virus in Australia. With the high transmissibility of the Delta variant being a concern, the modelling of Te Pūnaha Matatini continued to indicate that without good rates of vaccination to build population immunity, there could still be a substantial community outbreak that would put the healthcare system in New Zealand under immense strain.
By the middle of December 2021, Plank said he was troubled about the impact of the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant in New Zealand, and the case could be made for a review of the plans to open the border with Australia in 2022 due to an increase in cases in Sydney. When the Omicron COVID-19 variant was confirmed as likely to be circulating within New Zealand, Plank said that the modelling suggested an outbreak, and this would require careful management of isolation periods.
Selected publications
Estimated inequities in COVID-19 infection fatality rates by ethnicity for Aotearoa New Zealand (2020). This paper examined differential impacts of COVID-19 for high-risk groups within New Zealand, particularly Māori and Pasifika and concluded that the impacts of colonisation had contributed to inequities due to the marginalisation of these communities.
Working Paper: Mis- and disinformation in Aotearoa New Zealand from 17 August to 5 November 2021 (2021). This research was an observation and analysis on data related to COVID-10 that was readily available to the public of New Zealand. The conclusion was reached that from August 2021, there had been a considerable increase in COVID-specific disinformation and the spread of far-right ideologies and that posed a threat safety and inclusion in New Zealand society.
Model-free estimation of COVID-19 transmission dynamics from a complete outbreak(2021). Using a dataset of epidemiologically linked cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand, this paper explored transmission dynamics of the virus that depended on factors such as age, and response to different control measures. The research showed that children and imported cases had a low probability of transmitting the virus, but superspreading event contributed significantly to the dynamics and this could be limited by border controls and social distancing measures.
We built a model that shows how small rule changes can fuel delta's spread (2021). Members of Te Pūnaha Matatini COVID-19 modelling team looked at how small policy changes can result in widespread spread of COVID-19 through networks due to the percolation effects. The research published in the article showed even if there were only a small number of additional connections, an uncontrolled spread was likely to find unvaccinated people.
Doughnuts and dandelions: Reimagining our food system post Covid-19 (2020) This article in The Spinoff looked at community initiatives in Auckland that were building resilient food systems that were socially inclusive and sustainable to deal with vulnerabilities in food chains as a result of COVID-restrictions. The writers said a healthier food system that supported more people was achievable in Aotearoa.
Collective impact: Shining the light on community post Covid-19 (2020) Researchers from Te Pūnaha Matatini looked at how New Zealand communities, as a result of the disruption caused by COVID-19 were becoming more vocal about what needed to change due to unequal access to resources and power and how this inequality was increasingly impacting on the health of people in diverse communities. It was suggested that the proposed Public Service Legislation Bill before parliament at the time may learn from COVID-19 to listen to the needs and aspirations of New Zealand communities.
Reception
In May 2020, Samak Datta, a population modeller from National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), was part of a team of experts appointed to review the modelling done by Te Pūnaha Matatini. Datta said that "COVID-19 models developed by the Te Pūnaha Matatini researchers tend to be stochastic...this means they use probabilities rather than exact numbers. Models like these are useful because they can be run many times to see best-case, worst-case and most-likely scenarios of potential COVID-19 spread."
When funding was reconfirmed in 2021, Dawn Freshwater acknowledged that the work of researchers from Te Pūnaha Matatini to the COVID-19 response underlined the importance of the Centres of Research Excellence. Andy Shenk, CEO of Uniservices, the research commercialisation and knowledge mobilisation company of the University of Auckland, said that modelling such as that done by Te Pūnaha Matini offered "data-crunching power...[to]...sequence and compare virus genomes, which aids contact tracing."
Hendy was invited to present modelling at a press conference with Jacinda Ardern and Ashley Bloomfield on 23 September 2021 and he suggested that even with a high proportion of New Zealand's population vaccinated, up to 7000 deaths a year could be recorded. Ardern cautioned that the modelling was only one of the tools the government was using in its response to COVID-19. Rodney Jones, another modeller who had provided advice to the New Zealand Government, disputed the claims made by Hendy, saying that the model was implausible and there was no need to "scare New Zealanders into getting vaccinated" Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she would use modelling as one of the tools to inform decisions for the health response, without it being a "singular pathway" resulting in an inevitable outcome and Hendy noted that the base model had been peer-reviewed earlier in the year, and does use "NZ-specific data on health outcomes."
On 11 October 2021 the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union posted a press release calling for more transparency on how the funding was received and describing Te Pūnaha Matatini as a "single source of truth" for the government and were "getting paid like greedy monopolists."
After Te Pūnaha Matatini suggested on 27 October 2021 that Auckland should move into a level 4 circuit-breaking lockdown to avoid the high levels of deaths and hospitalisations that their modelling had predicted, Ardern ruled the idea out. Chris Hipkins said that particular modelling did not take compliance into account, noting that "we have to bear in mind that it's a theoretical model based on a high degree of compliance with alert level 4, which we already weren't seeing by the time we made the decision to step down."
4 February 2022 when an Australian epidemiologist said the New Zealand approach to the strategy was too cautious, Chris Hipkins said that some modelling was better than none, likening it to a weather forecaster. Rodney Jones said that comment was "extremely unfair to weather forecasters", and claimed that the credibility of modellers could be called into question if large numbers were getting a lot of media attention. Plank said that the Australian epidemiologist was discussing international modelling that was not particularly well tailored to the New Zealand population, concluding that "domestic modelling still suggested high levels of infection from Omicron."
Awards
Te Pῡnaha Matatini was awarded the 2020 Prime Minister's Science Prize in recognition of their work in developing mathematical models, analysis of data and commmunication of the results to inform the response of the New Zealand Government to COVID-19. Shaun Hendy said that it had been an "unrepeatable experience" working with the team. As the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern announced the award, she commented:"Even I underestimated the centrality of [science] advice for me, in this time in office, and just how important it would become to us as a government [and] I want to thank the many, many, many people in this room who were a part in your own ways in either helping us generate the information we needed to make those decisions, or who helped us communicate those decisions when it mattered most."

Oliver Lee Jackson (born 1935) is an American painter, printmaker, sculptor, and educator. He was a professor at the California State University, Sacramento from 1971 until 2002 and was one of the founders of the Pan African Studies program at the school. He is based in Oakland, California.
Early life and education
He was born in 1935 in St. Louis, Missouri, into an African American family. After graduating from Vashon High School, Jackson attended Illinois Wesleyan University (B.F.A. 1958). He served in the United States Army and was honorably discharged in 1961. After which he attended the University of Iowa (M.F.A. 1963).
Teaching
In the mid-1960s to late-1970s, he taught art classes at St. Louis local universities and colleges and remained active in this local community.
He taught at St. Louis Community College (1964 to 1967); Southern Illinois University (1967 to 1969); Washington University, St. Louis (1967 to 1969); and Oberlin College (1969 to 1970). In 1971, he moved to California and joined the faculty at California State University, Sacramento, where he remained until 2002.
Art career
He was an affiliate member of the multidisciplinary arts collective Black Artists Group (BAG) in St. Louis. BAG was founded by musicians, theater artists, dancers and visual artists as a support structure for creative expression among African American artists, and in order to have a greater place in the cultural landscape.
Jackson's paintings are gestural and expressionist in their nature, attempting to capture the mental state. There are a mixture of cultural references and iconography in his paintings including aspects of the African American experience, surrealism, cave paintings, and references to historical African and Oceanian art. The Sharpeville massacre in the 1960s in South Africa was an inspiration for Jackson in his Sharpeville Series (1968–1977).
Jackson’s works are in the museum collections of the Museum of Modern Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Studio Museum in Harlem; the National Gallery of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; San Jose Museum of Art; and the Seattle Art Museum.

Sant'Ippolito Martire (Italian is a Baroque, Roman Catholic parish church in Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. It is located on a busy street with markets, on via Porta Carini in the Capo quarter, across the street from the church of the Immacolata Concezione al Capo.
A parish church at the site is first mentioned in 1308. In 1583, during the Spanish rule of Sicily, the church was expanded; but the present church is a product of a refurbishment started in 1717 using designs by Andrea Palma. His grandson, Nicolò Palma, helped restore the church in 1769 and a further refurbishment was performed in 1844 under Giovanni Patricolo, who directed some of the fresco decoration.
The entrance portal has bas-reliefs of Saints Peter, Hippolytus, and Paul. The Latin Cross layout has three naves with lateral chapels. The nave ceiling has a fresco depicting Jesus in Lake Tiberius, retouched in the 1950s.

Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye were an English musical variety double act who were known for performing syncopated piano duets together from the 1930s to 1950s. The duo consisted of pianists Ivor Arthur Moreton (born Arthur Lethbridge; 18 March 1908 – 9 December 1984) and David "Dave" Kaye (born David Keigel; 13 March 1906 – 15 December 1996), who had both been members of Harry Roy's dance band, the act developing from Roy's small group, the Tiger Ragamuffins. They played at two pianos, usually with Kaye carrying the melody, and Moreton embellishing it.
Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye were a headline act in variety and radio, regularly appearing at venues run by Moss Empires, who were responsible for the largest chain of theatres and music halls in the UK. The Stage wrote of Moreton and Kaye that, "With their slick evening dress and immaculate stage appearance, they endeared themselves to lovers of light entertainment in a polished but unassuming way."
Early lives
David Kaye was born on 13 March 1906 in Shoreditch, London. His parents, Leah (neé Kalisky) and Reuben Keigel, were born in Warsaw, then part of the Russian Empire. Reuben was a hairdresser, with Leah working in the business, and the family lived in Hackney. Dave formally changed his surname to Kaye in July 1940. He worked in a timber merchant's office for three years, before getting a job accompanying a woman who sang songs in a store advertising sheet music.
Ivor Moreton, originally named Arthur Lethbridge, was born in Barnsbury, London on 18 March 1908 to parents Frederick and Mary Lethbridge. His father was a compositor in the printing trade. Upon leaving school at 15, Ivor worked in a stockbroker's office, and left this job to become a cellulose sprayer, with the job of tracing designs onto dresses. He had already been able to play the piano for some time, and provided accompaniment at local parties in the evenings. At a local dance, he was asked if he would like to play professionally. He was then offered a job playing at a small night club.
Career
With Harry Roy
Following Dave Kaye's job in the shop, he formed his own band, and worked as a pianist for Jerry Hoey, Sydney Lipton and Jack Harris. In 1926, he joined drummer and xylophonist Julian Vedey's new band at the Cosmo Club in Wardour Street, Soho, in a residency which lasted around six months. Coinciding with the end of this period was the departure of Kaye's brother Cyril for Sydney, Australia, to lead a band at the Wentworth Hotel. In 1929, it was reported that Dave was part of a new band at The Piccadilly Hotel, led by Jim Kelleher on alto sax, with Kaye on piano and Joe Daniels on drums. During this period of his career, Kaye was also part of Maurice Winnick's band at the hotel, although by August 1931, he had been replaced.
Ivor Moreton, who had been professionally active since at least 1930, was invited by drummer Bill Currie to join him in an act at a club, where Moreton and Kaye first met each other. By 1931, Moreton was a pianist with Harry Roy's five-piece band at the Bat Club, being with Roy from his first recording session in April that year. In addition, Moreton also sang on vocals with Currie, and in a trio with Roy. Later that year, Roy formed a larger band to take to the RKO Theatre in Leicester Square, and it was at this point that Kaye joined, thus starting Moreton and Kaye's long professional association. From October 1931 onwards, Moreton was on piano, and Kaye on second piano at Roy's recording sessions. In autumn 1932, Moreton sang his first solo vocal refrain for Roy on his version of "Love is the Sweetest Thing", a song which became a standard. He subsequently contributed further solo vocal refrains to Roy's records.
In 1933, Moreton and other members of the band joined Syd Roy and His R.K. Olians, an outfit fronted by Harry's brother. Moreton played piano and contributed vocals, whilst Cyril Kaye was also a pianist for the group. This line-up recorded for the budget Eclipse label (owned by Woolworths) from April to October 1933. In December that year, a Parlophone record credited to "Ivor Moreton & Dave Kaye" was released, with the label describing them as "Harry Roy's Famous Pianists On Two Pianos". The record consisted of two medleys of jazz standards: one side featured them performing "St. Louis Blues" and "Some of These Days", whilst the other had "Dinah", "After You've Gone" and "Nobody's Sweetheart". Joe Daniels also received billing for playing the drums on these recordings.
Perhaps aided by his role in the spotlight as the band's singer, it was reported in early February 1934 that Moreton was receiving fan mail of more than 200 letters a week. On 5 February that year, Moreton and Kaye made their first recordings as part of Harry Roy's Tiger Ragamuffins (a name coined by Moreton's father), a smaller group in which the pianists took a key role. Led by Roy, the group also featured Arthur Calkin on bass and Daniels on drums.
Departure from the band
The Silver Jubilee Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium in October 1935 featured the duo as part of Roy's band. Moreton and Kaye also appeared in the 1936 musical film Everything is Rhythm, which starred Roy; however, by the time it made it into cinemas, the duo had left the band to concentrate on their own career as duettists in variety. They departed in January 1936, and were joined on tour by drummer Ossie Noble.
In April 1936, their first 78 since leaving Roy was issued on Parlophone, with a "Fox Trot Medley" on one side and a "Quickstep Medley" on the other. Their "Tin Pan Alley" series of contemporary hit medleys ran to almost 100 issues.
On 7 April 1937, Moreton and Kaye cut their only sides with their own band, The Rhythm Rogues. Directed by Kaye, both played piano and Moreton sang vocals on "Harbour Lights". Moreton and Kaye continued to be prolific on gramophone records in their own right, with their light piano medleys issued regularly. Entertainment agent Keith Salberg later said, "They were wonderfully slick - a sort of jazzed up version of Rawicz and Landauer. They were a housewives' favourite," he added, noting that "everybody" had a Moreton and Kaye 78 "somewhere in their house."
April 1937 also saw the duo appearing in their own BBC Television slot, during the early days of the medium in Britain. They were referred to in the press and on theatre bills as "The Original Tiger Rag pianists", having played on Harry Roy's 1933 recording of the song. In June, they had their own slot on the BBC National Programme. Later that year, the duo toured Scandinavia. In early 1938, they could be heard in their own series, Tomorrow's Songs, on the BBC Regional Programme in London.
Moreton and Kaye also composed several tunes together, including "Peter Pan". Billed "The Original Tiger Ragamuffins", cinema audiences could see them playing "Peter Pan" at two grand pianos in an August 1938 Pathétone newsreel. In October that year, they topped the Concert Hall bill for the final week of the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow, where Kaye played the electric Hammond organ as part of their stage act for the first time. In the late 1930s, the duo made forays into classical music, recording a two-part medley of Franz Lehar waltzes and Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Their recordings tended to have accompaniment on drums, string bass, and occasionally, Hawaiian guitar.
The advent of the Second World War saw their performing career briefly interrupted. Moreton volunteered for service in the Royal Air Force in June 1940, leaving Kaye to temporarily go solo, before he also enlisted. The pair were reunited during the war to entertain troops at RAF bases around the UK. In 1943, they had their own BBC Radio series, Keys For Two. Moreton and Kaye both achieved the rank of Sergeant, and Moreton served in the British Liberation Army.
Post-war success
Having been released from the RAF, Moreton and Kaye continued performing, with a contemporary review from December 1945 describing the previous night's show at Dudley Hippodrome as an "exhilarating performance". Their popularity ensured that they were still top of the bill. In January and April 1947, Moreton and Kaye appeared in two further short films for British Pathé, in which they could be seen playing boogie woogie. Rather than the pre-war evening dress, they wore informal suits.
They continued touring, and visited Australia in 1949 to appear in the revue Starry Nights on the Tivoli theatre circuit. It was reported that the duo liked the country so much that they were considering settling there. Whilst in Australia, they also played the Ugly Sisters in a Sydney production of the pantomime Cinderella. Moreton and Kaye ended up staying in Australia for thirteen months. Back in Britain, they had a regular slot on the BBC Light Programme in late 1950.
They were also still making recordings for Parlophone: although there were no UK record sales charts until November 1952, research published in 2013 stated that Moreton and Kaye's recording of "Ivory Rag", a popular contemporary song, would have been amongst the Top 30 bestselling singles lists in August 1951.
In October that year, they once again played at the Royal Variety Performance: this time, as part of a Keyboard Quintette, with Carroll Gibbons, Charlie Kunz and Billy Thorburn. From April to June 1952, the duo had a weekly radio show on the Light Programme. In May 1953, they were back in Australia, fronting The Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye Show at the Theatre Royal in Adelaide.
Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye's last billed BBC appearance was in October 1954 on Piano Playtime, a radio broadcast on the Light Programme. Their final 78, a two-part medley titled "Moreton And Kaye's Christmas Music", was issued in December that year. They appeared together until the mid-1950s, at a time when trends in popular music were changing. According to Kaye, "We decided to get out while still at the top". In 1959, they opened a restaurant in Kensington, west London, which became a popular meeting spot for musicians and those in show business.
Personal lives and deaths
In an interview, Moreton and Kaye gave their mutual interests as golf, tennis and gin rummy.
Moreton was sued by Florence Addicott in May 1935. A dressmaker, she had met Moreton at a social club where he was the pianist in the late 1920s. Addicott claimed that at Christmas 1931, they had agreed to marry, but he had broken off the engagement by letter in September 1934. Moreton claimed that Addicott had ended the engagement. A court ordered him to pay her £500 in a breach of promise of marriage case. During this period, he was living in Peckham.
He married Betty Shirley Gardner in Marylebone, west London, in 1936. In the early years of their marriage, the couple lived on Baker Street. During the Second World War, they were living in Beckenham, Kent. In January 1945, they had a daughter. Following the end of the war, they were again resident in Marylebone. He latterly lived in Coombe, Kingston upon Thames. Moreton died in Kingston on 9 December 1984, aged 76, and was survived by his wife.
In the early part of his career, Kaye lived in Stamford Hill, north London, and later in Cricklewood. He married Dorothy Partridge in 1957 in Kensington. Kaye died in Hendon on 15 December 1996, aged 90, survived by his wife Dorothy.

AG für Akkumulatoren- und Automobilbau automobile manufacturer based in Wedding (Berlin), Ofenerstrasse and founded by Alex Fischer who built electric powered automobiles from 1919 to 1922 under the brand name AAA. Not related to the French brand of the same name.
History
From 1922, the electric vehicles were given the brand name Elektric. In the same year, the company started the production of small cars with gasoline built-in engines. These were distributed under the name Alfi.
The factory was founded in 1919 as Automobil- und Akkumulatorenbau GmbH for electric vehicles. In 1920, the name was changed to Auto- und Akkumulatorenfabrik Aktiengesellschaft (AAA), which remained in place until 1922.
The commercial vehicle factory for electric vehicles, which existed until 1925, was continued from 1922 with the company name Aktiengesellschaft für Akkuulatoren- und Automobilbau.
AAA was the first German company to build four-wheel drive cars. Production ended in 1925 when the company went bankrupt.
This well-known commercial vehicle factory is often confused with the accumulator factory AG, which was also located in Berlin, Asländische Platz 3 from 1918 to 1936. Electric vehicles with a payload of 1.5 to 2 tons were also manufactured there under the Afa brand, which were used as milk trucks, among other things.
Vehicles
Vans and parcel delivery vans were produced for a payload of 0.6 to 2 tons. These commercial vehicles were equipped with an 8.5 hp electric motor, which was installed swinging in the spring-loaded frame with the front. The range of the two built types was 60 km.
The type AAA had as a van a short bonnet, which rose diagonally. The spoke wheels were covered with solid rubber and the body was manufactured as required. Some of the electric vehicles had a front-facing windshield on the passenger side, the cab side was open.
Another commercial vehicle was the type AGA.

Ana Aslan National College is a high school in Timișoara named after Romanian gerontologist Ana Aslan. It also features a post-secondary school that educates students in the field of nursing.
History
Ana Aslan College is the successor to the former Institute of Nursing Assistants, established in 1942, with a three-year study program. It was transformed into a sanitary high school in 1948 – feldshers, with a four-year study program. In 1959 the sanitary high school was abolished, and the post-secondary school was transferred to the Sanitary Technical School in Arad, until 1972. Since 1972, as a result of the reorganization, the institution has been transformed into a sanitary school group, with two forms of organization: high school and post-secondary school. It functioned again as a sanitary high school between 1978 and 1990. In 1992, the high school became a school group again, and in 1996 it became a college; it got its current name in 1999.

The Anti-Bolshevist League (German: Antibolschewistische Liga), later the League for the Protection of German Culture (Liga zum Schutze der deutschen Kultur), was a short-lived German far-right organization that initially opposed the November Revolution and later most notably the Spartacus League. It was founded in early December 1918 by the young conservative and ultra-nationalist publicist Eduard Stadtler. The organization was financed by large industrialists, bankers as well as former representatives of the German aristocracy.
According to Stadtler's memoirs published in 1935, German entrepreneurs organized and paid for the military operations of the Freikorps against the Berlin Spartacist Uprising and the contract killings of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht on January 15, 1919, from a fund connected to the organization.
The Anti-Bolshevik League distributed anti-communist or “anti-Bolshevik” literature and leaflets, sometimes in very large numbers, and organized lectures, exhibitions and training courses. As early as December 1918, the original leadership group was planning to found a "National Socialist” party and agitated for a “German socialism” with a nationalist twist. The circle around Stadtler and Heinrich von Gleichen was ousted from the management of the league in the spring of 1919 and continued its organizational activities in the Juniklub and in the associated Politisches Kolleg, journalistically above all in the magazine the Das Gewissen.
Background
The initiator of the creation of the League was 32-year-old Eduard Stadtler, formerly a school teacher and activist of the Catholic Center Party, who returned from Russian captivity after the end of the First World War. In captivity, he closely watched the Russian Revolution, then he was the press secretary of the German diplomatic mission in Moscow. A staunch anti-communist, Stadtler advocated the violent suppression of Bolshevism.
On November 1, 1918, Stadtler spoke at the Berlin Philharmonic with a report "Bolshevism as a worldwide danger." A few days later, the November Revolution began. Stadtler saw in it an exclusively Marxist danger, the spread of Bolshevism to Europe. He immediately set about organizing an effective anti-communist structure, combining activity among the masses with the support of the industrial and financial elite.
In October he had founded an association for national and social solidarity. Stadtler originally intended this to be called the Association for National Socialism, but the co-founders, including Karl Helfferich, decided to change it, whom Stadtler knew from Moscow, Heinrich von Gleichen and the Catholic trade unionists Adam Stegerwald and Franz Röhr overruled.
From this foundation, in October 1918, the "Solidarity Circle" (also called "Young Club", "Young Front") was called the magazine Das Gewissen, whose most important ideologues, along with Stadtler and peers, were Arthur Moeller van den Bruck and Max Hildebert Boehm. The aim of the Solidarity and their leading member, Heinrich von Gleichen, was to build up a small, elite group. In this they differed from Stadtler, who had a nationalist mass movement in mind. After the proclamation of the republicon November 9, 1918, Stadtler supplied several newspapers with two to three articles a day.
Founding and program
Through the mediation of Helfferich, Stadtler received 5,000 marks in cash personally on November 28, 1918, as a "gift" from the Deutsche Bank from its director Paul Mankiewitz. He received another 3,000 marks from Friedrich Naumann from a political fund. This enabled him to open a General Secretariat for the study and combating of Bolshevism on December 1, 1918 at Lützowstrasse 107 in Berlin. The Anti-Bolshevik League created on the same daywas originally intended as an umbrella organization for "friendly" organizations that were yet to be founded or that already existed. By the end of January, the league had set up branches in Hamburg, Bremen, Königsberg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Dresden, Halle, Leipzig and Wroclaw Legally, it was a non-profit association and as such was subject to the supervision of the State Commissioner for the Regulation of War Welfare in Prussia.
Stadtler with his comrades, formed an "action committee" and presented a "rescue program". Among other things, the plan was to found a publishing house to publish anti-Bolshevik propaganda brochures, popular pamphlets under the title "Anti-Spartacus" for mass distribution by parties and other organizations, a lecture cycle, the training of agitators and speakers, and the establishment of an anti-Bolshevik press and news service.
As a nationalist, Stadtler was an ardent opponent of the labor movement and its goals. In doing so, he made no distinction between social democracy and communism, both of which he understood in the sense of a conspiracy theory as an attack on all values of the German nation. Immediately after the end of the war, Stadtler, who had left the Center Party in 1918, tried to persuade leaders of German industry and right-wing party and media representatives to fight Bolshevism. Early on, he saw it as insufficient that the program of anti-Bolshevism was initially only negative, and therefore looked for an alternative model of society. As opposed to the “class struggle-Socialism" of the workers' parties, he propagated "the dictatorship of a national" or "Christian-national socialism". On the one hand, this objective was intended to protect private ownership of the means of production from expropriation, as demanded by the Soviet movement in the November Revolution, and on the other hand to abolish parliamentary democracy in favor of a "purposeful dictatorial government" in order to end "party and class warfare" within the framework of an authoritarian to "overcome" family society. The industrialist Hugo Stinnes initially approved of this concept of socialism. In January 1919, Stadtler spoke at his invitation to a meeting of industrialists from the Ruhr area in about his concept of "German socialism". In the propaganda of the League, the concepts of Soviets, revolution and socialism were emptied of their political and social content, turned anti-communist and used as a means of nationalist mobilization of broad sections of society. This was accompanied by the propaganda staging of a national (popular) community among the “Solidarians”.
In order to make this project plausible, the League clearly exaggerated the danger of a Bolshevik takeover of power in Germany.
At the beginning of December, the League in Berlin published numerous leaflets and posters calling for the assassination of leading figures in the Spartacus League. Two of Stadtler's brochures appeared simultaneously with initial print runs of 50,000 and 100,000 copies respectively. On December 8, 1918, the League's premises were searched and sealed by members of a workers' militia. However, the Berlin executive council intervened and even ordered the return of the confiscated propaganda material.
Establishment of the Anti-Bolshevik Fund
On January 10, 1919, around 50 top representatives of German industry, commerce and banking met and set up an anti-Bolshevik fund for German entrepreneurs. Paul Mankiewitz from Deutsche Bank organized the meeting in the rooms of the Flugverbandshaus in Berlin. Among the invited participants, who were expressly intended to appear in person, were the head of the industrial association, Hugo Stinnes, Albert Vögler, Carl Friedrich von Siemens, Otto Henrich (Siemens-Schuckert-Werke), Ernst von Borsig, Felix Deutsch from AEG, Arthur Salomonsohn from Disconto-Gesellschaft.
The only item on the agenda was Stadtler's lecture "Bolshevism as a World Danger", which was intended to convince the business people present of the need to act against the revolution. In the general dismay at the lecture, Stinnes is said to have said, according to Stadtler's memories, that he considered any discussion superfluous, that he shared Stadtler's statements "in every point" and suggested that German industry should therefore provide 500 million marks. This sum was approved in the next room and apportioned to German capital via the associations of industry, commerce and banks. The American social historian Gerald D. Feldman gives significantly lower numbers: According to this, the fund received five million Reichsmarks from each business leader present.
Stadtler reports in his memoirs that a newly formed board of trustees managed the funds. One of Hugo Stinnes' confidants was entrusted with managing and distributing this fund. From then on, money from this fund flowed generously to all anti-Bolshevik groups, including the following organizations:
The Anti-Bolshevik League under the code name General Secretariat to study and combat Bolshevism
The Union for Combating Bolshevism
The citizen council movement (cf. Reich Citizens Council)
Recruitment agencies for the Freikorps
Student jobs
Self-protection formations (cf. residents' militias)
The coffers of the active troops
The Social Democratic Party of Germany.
A bank loan of 50 million Reichsmarks was immediately made available immediately after it was set up. Alexander Ringleb was responsible for the administration and distribution of the incoming sums, for which he gave up his previous work as a judge. The existence of the fund is considered to be certain in research, but the 500 million marks mentioned by Stadtler - an enormous amount at this point in time despite already noticeable inflation - are regarded as an "exaggeration or [...] [total sum] from the inflationary period".
Contract killings
In his memoirs, Stadtler reports how, after the end of the Spartacist Uprising, on January 12, 1919, he visited Waldemar Pabst, the commander of the Garde-Kavallerie-Schützen-Division, which was one of the largest troop units still intact in the Reichswehr under the supreme command of Hans von Seeckt had been ordered to Berlin at the beginning of the year to put down uprisings against the provisional Reich government, in the Eden Hotel. He had convinced him of the "necessity" of the killings and broke "Gustav Noske's hesitance" about using the military in Berlin days before:“Parliament could remain stolen from us soldiers at the front, it would depend on men and deeds; if there are no leaders to be seen on our side for the time being, then at least the other side shouldn’t have any either.” Probably through an informer paid by one of Stadtler's organizations, Liebknecht and Luxemburg were tracked down by a "Wilmersdorf militia" on the evening of January 15 in their hiding place they had just occupied in Wilmersdorf, taken prisoner and taken to the Hotel Eden. In the later trials against their murderers, it was repeatedly stated that an "auxiliary service of the SPD" had offered a bounty of 100,000 marks for the capture of the Spartacus leaders. After severe mistreatment they were murdered during the night by members of the Guards Cavalry Rifle Division - according to Stadtler "Major Pabst's men". The members of the troop and vigilante received a large reward per person, which, as non-fiction author Frederik Hetman presumed also came from the anti-Bolshevik fund.
End of big finance
As the immediate danger of the "Sovietization" of Germany subsided, the League increasingly emphasized the solidarity and national socialist elements of its ideology. Stadtler talked about active work with trade unions and the creation of works councils. Many former sponsors of the League spoke with indignation about Stadtler's "social demagogy". Already in March 1919, Stadtler was forced to leave the leadership of the League and focused on activities in the Association for National and Social Solidarity.
Transformation to the League for Protection of German Culture
In February 1919, leading members of the League such as Stadtler, Ernst Troeltsch, Gleichen and Joachim Tiburtius published a call for the establishment of a League for the Protection of German Culture in the Catholic daily Germania. The Anti-Bolshevik League appeared under this name from then on. The organization's leadership felt the renaming was necessary after major league events in Essen and Hamburg were blasted by workers. This seemed to indicate that the original name was "burnt". Gleichen had also advised the renaming in order to make it clear "that our 'anti-Bolshevism' is under no circumstances only negative or even contains a tip against the workers." Stadtler explained that they wanted to break away from the competing association to combating Bolshevism, which published hate posters with bounty awards on Karl Radek and other leading members of the Spartacus League. After Stadtler's withdrawal, the league largely gave up the "National Socialist" thrust of its publications and events. Now she took a more moderate course and from then on devoted herself to "enlightenment" about the "dangers" of communism. In this phase it was financed, among other things, by the Reich Citizens Council. However, big industry and banks remain influential. By the summer of 1919 the League had published eight different series of pamphlets containing some 70 individual titles and a large number of leaflets. The pamphlets bore titles such as In the "Bolshevik Madhouse", "The Imperialism of the Bolsheviks", "The Despots of the Soviet Republic and Asian Bolshevism - the end of Germany and Europe?". The league continued the agitation of this type in the following years. According to documents from the Reich Commissioner for the Surveillance of Public Order, by the end of 1922 she had organized exhibitions in 80 German cities that were visited by around 800,000 people, as well as around 8,600 lectures and around 400 training courses lasting several weeks, usually with 120 to 150 participants.
Historical interpretation
In the history of East Germany, the Anti-Bolshevik fund was cited several times as evidence for the "agent theory", according to which “monopoly capital” stood behind Stadtler and ultimately financed fascism. The Munich historian Werner Maser also assumes that "money from the 'anti-Bolshevik fund of the economy' also flowed to the NSDAP with certainty". According to the Berlin historian Ernst Nolte, "with this approach immediately winning a majority in the bourgeois camp, without having an impact on the masses - the radical right laid the foundations for their counterattack in the first few months after the revolution."
