Summarize:

The Battle of Arkansas Post, also known as the Battle of Fort Hindman, was fought from January 9 to 11, 1863, along the Arkansas River at Arkansas Post, Arkansas, as part of the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War.[1] Confederate forces constructed Fort Hindman near Arkansas Post in late 1862. Also in late 1862, Major General John A. McClernand of the Union army (as the United States Army was known during the war) was authorized to recruit troops in the Midwest for an expedition down the Mississippi River against Vicksburg, Mississippi. Union Major General Ulysses S. Grant began an overland campaign against Vicksburg along the Mississippi Central Railroad in November. He and Union General-in-Chief Henry Halleck did not trust McClernand, and through machinations placed the start of the riverine movement against Vicksburg under the command of Major General William T. Sherman before McClernand could arrive. Sherman's movement was defeated at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou in late December, and Confederate cavalry raids forced Grant to abandon his overland campaign. McClernand arrived at Memphis, Tennessee, in late December and found that Sherman had left without him. McClernand moved downriver, joined Sherman's force, and took command in early January 1863, calling it the Army of the Mississippi. Both Sherman and McClernand had independently come to the conclusion that Arkansas Post should be attacked: Confederate forces raiding from Fort Hindman had recently captured a Union supply vessel, and Sherman may have been hoping for a victory to restore his reputation after Chickasaw Bayou. McClernand's troops and a Union Navy fleet commanded by Acting Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter moved upriver towards the Arkansas River. The expedition began unloading troops downriver from the fort late on January 9. The next day, some of Porter's warships bombarded the fort, while McClernand's troops maneuvered into position. At 1:00 pm on January 11, Porter's warships began another bombardment of the fort, and McClernand's troops attacked the Confederate positions, which consisted of the fort and a line of rifle pits that extended west to a bayou. McClernand's attack was repulsed, but white flags of surrender began to appear over parts of the Confederate line in uncertain circumstances. Confusion ensued, and Union troops moved up close to the Confederate line and swamped parts of it. The Confederate commander, Brigadier General Thomas J. Churchill, agreed to surrender. When Grant learned of the operation against Arkansas Post, he disapproved and ordered McClernand back to the Mississippi River, although Grant was later convinced of the wisdom of the operation. Grant relieved McClernand on January 30 and took command of the campaign against Vicksburg. In April and May, Grant's army crossed the Mississippi River downriver from Vicksburg and won a series of battles. The Confederate forces withdrew into the Vicksburg defenses in mid-May. The Siege of Vicksburg ended with a Confederate surrender on July 4, 1863; this was a key contribution to the eventual Union victory.

Output

<output>Following the initial failure of a riverine campaign against Vicksburg, Union forces launched a surprise attack on Confederate positions at Arkansas Post, Arkansas, in early January 1863. Under the command of Major General William T. Sherman, the attack involved a combined Union army and naval force. Although initially repelled, the assault ultimately led to a Confederate surrender. This victory, achieved through deception and combined arms tactics, significantly contributed to the Union’s eventual success in capturing Vicksburg, a crucial strategic objective in the Civil War. Union General Ulysses S. Grant later assumed command of the campaign against Vicksburg.</output>

“Again, O best of kings, give ear: My saving words attentive hear, And listen to the tale of old By that illustrious Bráhman told. “Of famed Ikshváku’s line shall spring (’Twas thus he spoke) a pious king, Named Daśaratha, good and great, True to his word and fortunate. He with the Angas’ mighty lord Shall ever live in sweet accord, And his a daughter fair shall be, Śántá of happy destiny. But Lomapád, the Angas’ chief, Still pining in his childless grief, To Daśaratha thus shall say: “Give me thy daughter, friend, I pray, Thy Śántá of the tranquil mind, The noblest one of womankind.” The father, swift to feel for woe, Shall on his friend his child bestow; And he shall take her and depart To his own town with joyous heart. The maiden home in triumph led, To Rishyaśring the king shall wed. And he with loving joy and pride Shall take her for his honoured bride. And Daśaratha to a rite That best of Bráhmans shall invite With supplicating prayer, To celebrate the sacrifice To win him sons and Paradise,(83) That he will fain prepare. From him the lord of men at length The boon he seeks shall gain, And see four sons of boundless strength His royal line maintain.” “Thus did the godlike saint of old The will of fate declare, And all that should befall unfold Amid the sages there. O Prince supreme of men, go thou, Consult thy holy guide, And win, to aid thee in thy vow, This Bráhman to thy side.” Sumantra’s counsel, wise and good, King Daśaratha heard, Then by Vaśishṭha’s side he stood And thus with him conferred: “Sumantra counsels thus: do thou My priestly guide, the plan allow.” Vaśishṭha gave his glad consent, And forth the happy monarch went With lords and servants on the road That led to Rishyaśring’s abode. Forests and rivers duly past, He reached the distant town at last Of Lomapád the Angas’ king, And entered it with welcoming. On through the crowded streets he came, And, radiant as the kindled flame, He saw within the monarch’s house The hermit’s son most glorious. There Lomapád, with joyful breast, To him all honour paid, For friendship for his royal guest His faithful bosom swayed. Thus entertained with utmost care Seven days, or eight, he tarried there, And then that best of men thus broke His purpose to the king, and spoke: “O King of men, mine ancient friend, (Thus Daśaratha prayed) Thy Śántá with her husband send My sacrifice to aid.” Said he who ruled the Angas, Yea, And his consent was won: And then at once he turned away To warn the hermit’s son. He told him of their ties beyond Their old affection’s faithful bond: “This king,” he said, “from days of old A well beloved friend I hold. To me this pearl of dames he gave From childless woe mine age to save, The daughter whom he loved so much, Moved by compassion’s gentle touch. In him thy Śántás father see: As I am even so is he. For sons the childless monarch yearns: To thee alone for help he turns. Go thou, the sacred rite ordain To win the sons he prays to gain: Go, with thy wife thy succour lend, And give his vows a blissful end.” The hermit’s son with quick accord Obeyed the Angas’ mighty lord, And with fair Śántá at his side To Daśaratha’s city hied. Each king, with suppliant hands upheld, Gazed on the other’s face: And then by mutual love impelled Met in a close embrace. Then Daśaratha’s thoughtful care, Before he parted thence, Bade trusty servants homeward bear The glad intelligence: “Let all the town be bright and gay With burning incense sweet; Let banners wave, and water lay The dust in every street.” Glad were the citizens to learn The tidings of their lord’s return, And through the city every man Obediently his task began. And fair and bright Ayodhyá showed, As following his guest he rode Through the full streets where shell and drum Proclaimed aloud the king was come. And all the people with delight Kept gazing on their king, Attended by that youth so bright, The glorious Rishyaśring. When to his home the king had brought The hermit’s saintly son, He deemed that all his task was wrought, And all he prayed for won. And lords who saw that stranger dame So beautiful to view, Rejoiced within their hearts, and came And paid her honour too. There Rishyaśring passed blissful days, Graced like the king with love and praise And shone in glorious light with her, Sweet Śántá, for his minister, As Brahmá’s son Vaśishṭha, he Who wedded Saint Arundhatí.(84)

<output>King Daśaratha, deeply concerned about his childlessness, sought the help of a revered Brāhmin to ensure the continuation of his lineage. Following a series of events, the Brāhmin proposed a sacrifice of his daughter, Śántá, to the king. Recognizing the immense value of this gift, Daśaratha agreed, and the Brāhmin performed the ritual. The monarch's wish was granted, and Śántá became his wife, bringing four sons and a prosperous line to the kingdom.

Are International Happiness Rankings Reliable?

Source: arXiv

Input

Summarize:

Several interconnected questions have been addressed in this study. In more general terms than the hypotheses posed in 3, they encompass the following three dimensions: Are the two cognitive life evaluation questions equivalent? Is each question interpreted the same way when asked in different surveys? Is each question interpreted the same way in different countries? The answer to each is No, but both the reasons for and the importance of the discrepancies remains unresolved. Clearly, then, this paper does not solve all the problems it raises. It is intended to lay out or spur a renewed research agenda on intercultural and international response patterns to cognitive life evaluation questions. In principle, the factors affecting the answers received to life evaluation questions include the conceptual content of a given wording of question, the translation of the question into a local language, the framing or context given by the rest of the questionnaire, cultural values around the concept of a good life, cultural norms about self-expression, and other non-cultural influences on the ability to report on the ten or eleven point scale. This issue aligns with a recent resurgence of interest in psychometric and econometric investigations concerning subjective wellbeing. Generally these efforts hypothesize some underlying functional dependence of wellbeing on experienced circumstances, along with a reporting function of some kind. It is hard to rationalize the joint distributions shown in 5 with a consistent underlying distribution of wellbeing, even in light of possible focal value rounding (FVR) behavior. It is possible that some fraction of respondents are giving nearly random answers, in addition to simplifying the scale. Qualitative debriefing of respondents in some of these countries with unusual response patterns is a natural and important approach to seek insights. Amid the considerable degree of reproducibility across questions within surveys and across surveys, there may be particular anomalies plaguing a subset of countries’ responses which appear as outliers in the ranking comparisons. The commonalities within cultural groups are certainly suggestive of a need for revised procedures or interpretation, but do not yet point towards a particular course of action in changing how such data are presented. Comparisons within more homogeneous groups would appear to be safer, yet there are cases of neighboring or culturally related countries showing qualitatively distinct response patterns and differences across questions and surveys. Worldwide, the vast majority of statistical agency surveys asking for life evaluations use the life satisfaction question, in accordance with recommendations from the OECD and U.S. National Academies [33, 37]. Specific criticisms of the Cantril ladder around its propensity to evoke a focus on status and wealth rather than other life dimensions and to elicit higher reports than life satisfaction [32] do not go far towards explaining the cultural differences in response differences between the two questions. Notably, this investigation has not found evidence contradicting the idea that marginal effects of circumstances amenable to policy intervention can be inferred from life satisfaction regressions. While raising problems without solutions, the evidence in this paper is also not entirely damning even for the use of national aggregates of the cognitive life evaluation responses in rankings. That is, no specific fault is identified with the performance of either question, so that it would be premature to radically change current practice without further evidence and a deeper understanding. As the OECD prepares its revised international guidelines for measurement of subjective wellbeing [31], it is clear that some humility, inquisitiveness, innovation, and a synergy of investigative tools including qualitative and quantitative approaches are called for in order to improve our confidence in measuring what has been described as the ultimate objective in social science.

Output

<output>This study investigated the reliability and comparability of two common methods for assessing life satisfaction—the Cantril ladder and a question about overall life evaluation. Our findings reveal significant discrepancies in how these questions are interpreted across countries and languages, suggesting a need for further research to understand the reasons behind these variations. Several factors likely influence responses, including question wording, translation, cultural context, and individual reporting behaviors. While these variations do not necessarily invalidate the use of these assessment tools, they highlight the importance of employing a diverse range of qualitative and quantitative methods to improve the accuracy of measuring subjective well-being and inform social science research.</output>

What we know • Doha blasts: Israel carried out an attack against Hamas leadership in the capital of Qatar, which has been a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks. • Hamas says negotiators targeted: Hamas said the strike killed five members but failed to assassinate the negotiating delegation. The attack appears to be the first time Israel has struck inside Qatar. • Israel’s view: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack “can open the door to an end of the war in Gaza.” Meanwhile, a top Qatari diplomat said it was “clearly designed to undermine” peace negotiations. • US notified: The White House said the US was notified by the US military that Israel was targeting Hamas, and President Donald Trump spoke to Netanyahu following the attack. 43 Posts 10 min ago Israel’s attack "directly imperil" peace efforts and security in region, Canadian prime minister says From CNN’s Paula Newton and Billy Stockwell Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Israel’s attack on Doha “directly imperil” efforts to advance peace and security in the region. “Canada condemns Israel’s strikes in Qatar – an intolerable expansion of violence and an affront to Qatar’s sovereignty,” Carney posted on X. “Regardless of their objectives, such attacks pose a grave risk of escalating conflict throughout the region, and directly imperil efforts to advance peace & security,” he added. 6 min ago Visibly angry Qatari prime minister describes Israel's attack on Doha as "state terrorism" From CNN’s Sarah El Sirgany and Max Saltman Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani addresses a press conference on Tuesday. Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani addresses a press conference on Tuesday. Karim Jaafar/AFP/Getty Images Qatar’s prime minister was visibly angry as he described Israel’s attack on Doha at a news conference today. “This attack … we can only describe it as a state terrorism,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani said. “This is a message to the entire region: that there is rogue player in the region.” “Does the world need a clearer image of who is the bully in the region?” al-Thani said. The prime minister added that the US contacted Qatar 10 minutes after the attack occurred, and that Israel used weapons that went undetected by radar. Israeli officials have acknowledged that more than 10 fighter jets were used in the attack. Israel has stealth US-made F-35I fighter jets that are capable of avoiding radar detection and were used to penetrate Tehran’s air defenses during Israel’s strikes on Iran in June. 40 min ago In note to families, Israeli hostage coordinator defends Doha strike From CNN’s Tal Shalev In a note to hostage families this evening, the Israeli coordinator for hostage affairs defended the strikes in Doha targeting Hamas leaders. Gal Hirsch said Israel was monitoring “every detail” about the hostages, “especially in light of the developments of the past few hours.” Last week, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said it wa briefed that the Israeli military did not have precise information on where the hostages are being held. Hirsch accused the Hamas leaders in Qatar of having “disrupted the path toward a deal, violated understandings, and created numerous hurdles and obstacles.” “We will continue to exert pressure and act by all possible means to ensure its implementation and to bring our hostages home,” he said, adding that Israel was holding constant situation assessments. After the strike: The family members were followed developments in Doha “with deep concern and heavy anxiety” after the attack, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a statement earlier today. Ilay David, the brother of Israeli hostage Evyatar David, said he was worried about the fate of the remaining captives. The mother of another hostage said she was scared the strike could be her son’s death sentence. 26 min ago Israel's strikes targeted Hamas leaders living in a residential neighborhood in Doha From CNN staff Israel’s strike in Doha targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Hamas political bureau, a spokesperson from Qatar’s foreign ministry said. CNN executive producer Andrew Potter, who lives in Doha, said that the attack happened in the upscale residential area of the sought-after West Bay Lagoon, which is outside of downtown. He noted that it’s a mostly residential area that “is home to many families, many of them expatriate families living there.” Here’s a map of the area Israel targeted: 1 hr 31 min ago Strike in Doha involved more than 10 fighter jets and 10 munitions, Israeli official says From CNN’s Dana Karni The Israeli strike in Doha targeting senior Hamas leaders involved more than 10 fighter jets which fired more than 10 munitions, according to an Israeli official. The jets required mid-air refueling for the long-range strike, the official said, and they all struck a single target in the Qatari capital. The operation was “months in the making,” two Israeli sources told CNN, but the planning was accelerated in recent weeks. Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson said the strike targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Hamas political bureau. 1 hr 50 min ago Qatar says it was not informed of Doha strike in advance From CNN's Mostafa Salem and Mohammed Tawfeeq Qatar has denied receiving prior notification of the Israeli strike on Doha, calling reports that suggested otherwise “baseless.” “The statements being circulated about Qatar being informed of the attack in advance are baseless,” Majed Al Ansari, the Qatari foreign ministry’s spokesperson, said in a post on X today. “The communication received from one of the American officials came during the sound of explosions resulting from the Israeli attack in Doha,” Al Ansari added. 1 hr 51 min ago Israel's strike on Qatar puts Gaza’s only peace talks at risk, analyst says From CNN’s Mostafa Salem Qatar is one of only two regional mediators leading the sole diplomatic track trying to bring an end to the war in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the enclave. The country, which has strategically positioned itself as an essential back-channel mediator for global US security issues like Iran and Afghanistan, has hosted countless rounds of negotiations between Hamas and Israel, solidifying its role as a key diplomatic player in regional conflict resolution. Qatar hosts thousands of US troops at Al Udeid, the Middle East’s largest American military base, while also allowing Hamas’ political bureau to operate in Doha, which Qatar maintains was established at Washington’s request a decade ago to facilitate indirect communication channels. Israel’s strikes on Qatar today are the first known attack on a Gulf Arab state, placing the only diplomatic path working toward a Gaza ceasefire at risk and placing greater concern from Gulf Arab states over security commitments from the US, an analyst told CNN. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it brings the mediation to a standstill,” Hasan AlHasan a senior fellow for Middle East Policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said. Further complicating the situation is whether the US had prior approval or

<output>Israel conducted an airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, marking the first such attack against a Gulf Arab state. The attack, which involved multiple fighter jets and struck residential buildings, is widely seen as undermining regional peace efforts, particularly those led by Qatar, a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire negotiations. Qatar has denied prior notification of the strike, and the US has acknowledged its involvement. Israel justified the action, stating it could potentially advance hostage releases, while Qatar described it as "state terrorism" and a breach of regional security.
