Monash won early acclaim for his writing for television, including his work on the pioneer anthology series Studio One, Suspense and Playhouse 90. He received an Emmy Award for "The Lonely Wizard," a 1957 episode of Schlitz Playhouse of Stars that starred Rod Steiger. Monash wrote and produced the pilot for the TV series The Untouchables (1959), shown in two parts on Desilu Playhouse and edited as a feature film for distribution in Europe. He also wrote some episodes of the 1958–1959 NBC docudrama about the Cold War, Behind Closed Doors, hosted and starring Bruce Gordon. After the success of The Untouchables, Monash was asked to create Peyton Place (1964–1969), an ABC-TV series that was the first prime-time serialized drama on American television. His film production credits include Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), Slaughterhouse-Five (1972), The Front Page (1974) and Carrie (1976).

County of Santa Fiora

The County of Santa Fiora (), also known as State of Santa Fiora () was a small historical state of southern Tuscany, in central Italy. Together with the county of Sovana, it was one of the two subdivisions into which the possessions of the Aldobrandeschi, then lords of much of southern Tuscany, were split in 1274. At the moments of its creation it included part of today's province of Grosseto, up to the Isola del Giglio, and Castiglione d'Orcia, in what is now the province of Siena. In the 14th century the Republic of Siena was able to capture Isola del Giglio, Roccastrada, Istia d'Ombrone, Magliano in Toscana, Selvena, Arcidosso and Castiglione d'Orcia, reducing the county to its capital, Castell'Azzara, Semproniano and Scansano. In 1439, after the marriage of Bosio I Sforza and the last Aldobrandeschi heir, Cecilia, the county was inherited by the Sforza family, who would become ruler of the Duchy of Milan and owned also other possessions in Tuscany and the Marche. The sovereignty of the county was ceded to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1633. The Jewish presence in the County of Santa Fiora was significant, the first evidence dates back to the second half of the 15th century, while a jewish ghetto was established in 1714, when the state was already subject to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany for about 80 years.

Samuel "Savoirfaire" Williams

Samuel "Savoirfaire" Williams is a classically-trained, American jazz violinist from Chicago. Biography At the age of three, he began playing violin at his parents' church. Two years later, Samuel joined a group of child prodigies under the tutelage of Suzuki Violin instructor, Betty Haag. His first performance was at Chicago's Orchestra Hall during a public television broadcast which became an annual event spanning more than 35 years. Samuel performed with this group for five of those years. He attended the Merit School of Music in Chicago, and studied music theory while participating in youth orchestras including the City Youth Symphony, Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, Protégé, All-City and All-State. Afro-Panamanian musician Joseph Williams gave him private violin instruction when he was 16. During this time, musician and conductor Frank Winkler invited him to play lead for the City Youth String Ensemble's viola section. The following year, Samuel earned a scholarship to study Classical viola under the guidance of Edward Adelson during summer camp (formerly the National Music Camp) at Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. At Interlochen, Samuel sat in with Milt Jackson (Modern Jazz Quartet) at a workshop. While working at the Chicago Symphony Center, Samuel met and performed for Wynton Marsalis who suggested he study with Jazz violin legend, Johnny Frigo. Though Mr. Frigo was not interested in teaching, he allowed Samuel to sit in with him at local performances. Eventually, Samuel studied Classical violin with violinist and composer Harold Geller and Richard Ferrin, principal violist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As many independent artists do, Samuel "busked" (performed in public places for gratuities) on the streets to pay for violin lessons. During one of his street performances, Jazz guitar great Kenny Burrell observed his skill and invited Samuel to collaborate with himself, Willie Pickens and Larry Gray on a Bebop performance at Chicago's Jazz Showcase. In 2000, Samuel was voted into the Chicago Chapter of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), which earned him the moniker “Savoirfaire.” That same year, Samuel began an apprenticeship with luthier Martin Sheridan to learn the art of violin-making. He later became the owner of the violin shop and managed it for three years. After releasing three live albums on his own, Bob Koester discovered his work and in 2004, Delmark Records produced the internationally acclaimed release “Running Out of Time." Over the years, Savoirfaire has been invited to record with a plethora of artists in various genres and at international Jazz festivals - most notably as a session string player for Otis Clay and R. Kelly. Samuel was tapped to play principal violinist with his quartet, Renascent String Quartet, as extras in the 2005 feature film Proof starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins. Through his indie label, Central Coast Entertainment Group, Inc. he released "This Just In" in 2011 and a pop electronic instrumental album entitled "Threads" in 2012. In 2015, Samuel founded the Chicago Gypsy Project (a trio with Dave Miller on guitar and Charlie Kirchen on bass), which produced the most recent independent release, "We Swing." He continues to perform with his group Savoirfaire Jazz Quartet as well as busking on the streets, and in various venues throughout Chicago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craft%26design

Craft&design

craft&design was a magazine about crafts in the UK. The magazine was originally published as Craftsman Magazine from its launch in 1983 up until July 2007. With the March–April 2017 issue, its print edition folded and it became an only-online magazine. In December 2018, the online magazine and the "craft&design" website closed due to the retirement of their owners. Craftsman Magazine was a publication for professional craftspeople and hobbyists wanting to sell their work, with a focus primarily on selling through Craft Fairs and Trade Fairs in Britain. The magazine developed alongside the UK craft industry and became an important resource for people wanting to earn a living from their work. The publishers, Angie and Paul Boyer, Directors of PSB Design, and Print Consultants Limited, first realized there was a need for such a publication when they were selling their own work at UK Craft Fairs in the early 1980s; there was nothing available at that time to inform people about the craft fairs, who organized them, where and when they were taking place or how to book stands at events. As the UK Craft industry expanded and developed over the years, the publishers realised that the profile of the magazine needed to change as well, so in the summer of 2007 they relaunched the publication as Craftsman craft&design Magazine with a new format, new design and a more contemporary approach to the content. The aims remain the same, to help craftspeople in Britain to earn a living from their work. Development and History The first issue of Craftsman Magazine was published Winter 1983 by Paul and Angie Boyer, Directors of PSB Design and Print Consultants Limited, a small graphic design business based in Commercial Street, London E1. The first issue was 16 pages and printed in 2 colours onto newsprint. 30,000 copies were circulated free of charge at craft fairs all over Britain. The editorial in the first issue featured Bookbinding, Batik, Jewelry, Leather Carving, and Craft Fairs. The aim of the magazine was to put craft people in touch with each other, to inform craft makers and buyers about where and when craft fairs were being held, and to provide information about who organized craft fairs in Britain and how to book a stand at the fairs. Advertising was mainly from craft fair organisers. Husband and wife team, Paul and Angie Boyer, continued to publish Craftsman Magazine 4 times a year from their London address until 1985 when, with issue number 5, they moved to Littlehampton in Sussex. By that time an annual subscription had been made available, editorial content had been expanded to include Business Advice for craft people and advertising had grown to reflect the growth in the number of craft fairs being held all over Britain. Events being advertised were at venues such as Stately Homes, Town and Village Halls, Wildlife Parks, Schools and Colleges, Hotels, Racecourses, Concert Halls, Community Centres, National Trust Properties, Leisure Centres, Sports Halls, Exhibition Centres, Shopping Centres, Airports and even US military Bases in the UK. Specialist Miniatures shows were also being advertised. In 2002 and 2003, informative Directories were included within the pages of Craftsman Magazine; subjects included Craft Fair Organisers, Craft Supplies, Courses and Workshops, Craft Galleries, Guilds & Associations. Issue 191 June 2007, with a cover price of £2.50 and 52 pages was the last to be published as Craftsman Magazine. With a new title and a new format, it was relaunched by Angie and Paul Boyer, Directors of PSB Design and Print Consultants Limited, as Craftsman craft&design Magazine. The first issue under the new title and format was July/August 2007, Issue 192. (The issue numbering continued from one format to the next). As craft&design In 2007, Angie and Paul Boyer, Directors of PSB Design and Print Consultants Limited, relaunched the title as craft&design. Although the magazine was given a new format, a redesign, and a change of title, the aim of the publication remained the same: to help craftspeople in Britain earn a living from their work. The substantial changes that were made to the design and content of the magazine reflected the contemporary path that British crafts had taken in the early years of the 21st century. Previously focusing on providing information for craft people wanting to sell their work primarily at UK craft and trade fairs, the relaunched magazine now also encompasses craft galleries and exhibitions, commissioned work, and residencies for artists and makers, as well as information about UK craft and trade fairs. The main editorial and features are about artists, designers, and makers of contemporary craftwork; with information provided through interviews with makers and business tips and advice coming from people who work within the British craft industry. Published bi-monthly, 6 times a year, craft&design is a privately owned UK magazine which covers all aspects of British crafts and the various craft disciplines. The magazine became an online magazine following the publication of the last print issue, March–April 2017. Shows and Events CraftAid In 1986, Craftsman Magazine organised CraftAid, a national craft auction in aid of Save the Children. Craft people all over Britain donated work, the Craftsman offices in Littlehampton were turned into storage space for all the donated pieces, which ranged from pots by well-known ceramicists Lucie Rie, Michael Cardew and Janet Leach, through to precious metal jewellery, designer clothes, toys and teddy bears - all manner of work from both professional and hobby crafts people. Clandon Park, a National Trust Property in the South East of England, was hired as the venue for the auction, which took place over a weekend just before Christmas. People working in the craft industry donated their time to help with the auction - craft fair organisers, craft makers, friends and family. This unique event not only raised a substantial amount of money for charity, it also brought the British Craft industry together in a way that had never happened before. National Fleece to Jumper Spinning Competition In the same year, 1986, Craftsman Magazine organised the first National Fleece to Jumper Spinning Competition, which ran for 10 years at various craft fair venues in England, drawing supporters and participants from all over the world, including New Zealand, where the competition originated. Up to six teams, each made up of six people took part. The challenge was to knit a child's size jumper from a raw, unwashed fleece using a previously unseen pattern in the shortest possible time within a four-hour time limit. Teams started by sorting the fleece and selecting the best fibres. These were then carded, spun, plied and knitted. The final Fleece to Jumper Spinning Competition was held in 1995 at East Riddlesden Hall, Keighley, West Yorkshire, a National Trust property. It was won by the Craven Guild, who retained the title and the trophy as it was their third consecutive win. It was also the 10th year of the competition and the centenary year of the National Trust, a timely conclusion to a popular competition. The Craftsman Magazine Fleece to Jumper Speed Record was developed from the main competition and gave individual teams the opportunity to work against the clock to a set pattern, without competing with any other teams at the same time. In 1989 the Cambridge Carders set the first record at 3 hours, 7 minutes, 5 seconds. The record was subsequently broken a number of times, but the Cambridge Carders finally reclaimed it at the Alexandra Palace Christmas Craft Fair, setting a time of 2 hours, 46 minutes, 12 seconds. Craftmakers Materials Show In October 1999, Craftsman Magazine organised their first Craftmakers Materials Show in London. Exhibitors were companies which supplied materials, equipment and services to craftspeople and hobbyists, plus craft guilds and associations, artists, designers and craft book publishers. Visitors could purchase art and craft supplies, watch demonstrations of art and craft techniques, take part in workshops and business advice sessions. Held annually until 2002, also in Harrogate from 2001 - 2002. Craftsman Magazine Awards British Craft Trade Fair Newcomer Award In 1996, Craftsman Magazine sponsored the Newcomer Award at the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, for the first time. The winner was Christine Cummings from Ormskirk in Lancashire with her Ceramic Swine sculptures. (Sponsorship of this competition continues under the magazine's new title of Craftsman craft&design Magazine). Student Award at Art in Clay In 1999, Craftsman Magazine sponsored the Student Award at Art in Clay (a ceramics show held at Hatfield, Hertfordshire) for the first time. It was presented in recognition of the quality of design and making of the work exhibited, the student/graduate's potential to earn a living from their work. The aim of the award was to help a young graduate to start up and run a successful business working as a potter or ceramic artist. In 1999, the award was presented to Mirka Golden-Hann for her hand thrown salt glazed pottery. Sponsored until 2007, the final Craftsman Magazine Student Award went to Kerry Williamson. Each year's winner had their work featured as a front cover article in Craftsman Magazine and were also presented with a commemorative plate specially made by Laurence McGowan. Craftsman Award at Potfest In 2002, Craftsman Magazine sponsored the potters’ competition at Potfest in the Pens (a ceramics show held in Penrith, Cumbria) for the first time. The concept of the competition was for exhibitors at Potfest in the Pens to make a piece to reflect a specific theme; the challenge was to use techniques different from those they usually employed in their work. With a theme of ‘Dish of the Day’ in 2002, the winner was Dennis Kilgallon of Red Dust Ceramics, whose work was subsequently the subject of a front cover feature 138 January 2003. (Sponsorship of this competition continues under the magazine's new title of Craftsman craft&design Magazine).

Ernest Milton

Ernest Milton (7 August 1897 – 2 September 1984) was an English footballer who played as a left or right back for Sheffield United in The Football League. Born in Kimberworth near Rotherham, he also had a spell for Kilnhurst Town as well as guesting for Birmingham, Rotherham County and Barnsley during World War I. Career Milton played youth football with Parkgate Christ Church, and started his playing career, while working as a miner, with Kilnhurst Town. He was with Kilnhurst at the outbreak of World War I but was recommended to Sheffield United. Having impressed in a trial, Milton joined United as an amateur in 1917, aged 20. He played regularly during the war, and occasionally appeared as a guest player for Birmingham, Rotherham County and Barnsley. With the war over, Milton was offered a professional contract with Sheffield United, but despite playing the first game of the 1918–19 season he left United claiming he had 'signed by misinterpretation'. After a spell training with various clubs he wrote to United in March 1919, offering his services and hoping there would be 'no ill-will' if he returned. United agreed and Milton replaced pre-war full back Jack English, who had elected not to return to the club. Cementing his place in the first team, Milton was virtually ever present for the next four years. Despite this he was not widely appreciated and the local media suggested that he had 'not lived up to his early promise'. When United signed Len Birks in October 1924 it looked like Milton's tenure was drawing to a close but he regained his place in the side and played in the Blades' winning 1925 FA Cup Final team. The following season was more difficult however, and a mixture of a long-standing ankle injury, his lack of pace and the introduction of the new offside rule meant that he only played twelve more times and was finally released in May 1927. Personal life Milton was the younger brother of Sunderland player Albert and Coventry City's Alf. Following his retirement from football Milton worked for a coal merchant before setting up his own business. He also became a county-level bowls player and continued to live less than a quarter-of-a-mile from Bramall Lane.

A Christmas Carol (musical)

A Christmas Carol is a musical with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and book by Mike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens. The musical is based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella of the same name. The show was presented annually at New York City's Theater at Madison Square Garden from December 1, 1994, to December 27, 2003. Productions Madison Square Garden, New York (1994–2003) A Christmas Carol premiered on December 1, 1994. It was performed annually in December at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in Madison Square Garden from December 1994 until December 2003. The original 1994 production was directed by Mike Ockrent with choreography by Susan Stroman, sets by Tony Walton, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, sound by Tony Meola, projections by Wendall K. Harrington, and musical direction by Paul Gemignani. Walter Charles played Ebenezer Scrooge. Terrence Mann, Tony Randall, Hal Linden, Roddy McDowall (in his final role), F. Murray Abraham, Frank Langella, Tim Curry, Tony Roberts, Roger Daltrey and Jim Dale have all played the role of Ebenezer Scrooge in subsequent productions of A Christmas Carol. 2004 television film In 2004, the production was adapted for television and produced by Hallmark Entertainment for NBC. It was directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman and features Kelsey Grammer as Ebenezer Scrooge, Jason Alexander as Jacob Marley, Jane Krakowski as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Jesse L. Martin as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Geraldine Chaplin as the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Be, and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Emily (named Belle in the book), Scrooge's former fiancée. London concerts (2016–2020) The musical made its London premiere on Monday December 19, 2016 at the Lyceum Theatre as a concert production played by London Musical Theatre Orchestra and produced by James Yeoburn and Stuart Matthew Price for United Theatrical. It starred Robert Lindsay as Ebenezer Scrooge, Alex Gaumond as Bob Cratchit, Carrie Hope Fletcher and her sister-in-law Giovanna Fletcher as Emily and Mrs Cratchit, Madalena Alberto as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Hugh Maynard as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Norman Bowman as Jacob Marley, Peter Polycarpou as Mr Fezziwig, and John Addison as Fred Anderson. The concert production was again at the Lyceum on December 11 and 18, 2017, with Lindsay returning to the role of Scrooge. On 17 December 2018, the production returned to the Lyceum Theatre again with Griff Rhys Jones as Scrooge. From 7 December 2020 a new production of the staged concert with the London Musical Theatre Orchestra opened at the Dominion Theatre during the COVID-19 pandemic where the theatre was socially distanced, starring Brian Conley as Scrooge, Matt Willis as Bob Cratchit, Jacqueline Jossa as Emily/Ghost of Christmas Future, Lucie Jones as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Sandra Marvin as Mrs Fezziwigg, Martyn Ellis as Mr Fezziwigg, Cedric Neal as Ghost of Christmas Present, Jeremy Secomb as Jacob Marley, Rebecca Lock as Mrs Cratchit and Sam Oladeinde as Fred Anderson/Young Scrooge. The run was due to close on 2 January 2021, however due to the Government's tier 3 restrictions in London, the run finished early on 15 December 2020. Yearly MSG Casts Long Runs: Gail Pennington appeared all 10 years in the EnsemblePaul Kandel appeared as the Ghost of Jacob Marley for 9 consecutive years, the longest any cast member appeared in one speaking role Synopsis The opening numbers are "The Years Are Passing By" and "Jolly, Rich, and Fat". In later productions the two numbers are combined as "Jolly Good Time." Scrooge first encounters the three ghosts of Christmas in their real-world guises as a lamplighter (Past), a charity show barker (Present), and a blind beggar woman (Future) ("Nothing to Do With Me"). Scrooge's long-suffering employee Bob Cratchit, and Bob's son Tiny Tim, purchase a Christmas chicken ("You Mean More to Me"). The visit of the ghost of Jacob Marley ("Link By Link"), features a half-dozen singing, dancing spirits presented with various levels of makeup and special effects. One of these ghosts in this version is known to be an old colleague of Scrooge and Marley's, Mr. Haynes, who was said to be "mean to the bone", resulting in his charred skeleton. Other puns include a spirit with a safe embedded in his chest, who "never had a heart". The Ghost of Christmas Past reinforces the character's signature theme of illuminating Scrooge's worldview ("The Lights of Long Ago"). One notable departure from Dickens' novella in this portion of the film is its depiction of Ebenezer Scrooge's father, identified as John William Scrooge, being sentenced to debtors' prison while his horrified family looks on; this scene was inspired by an actual occurrence from Dickens' own childhood. The Ghost of Christmas Present ("Abundance and Charity" and "Christmas Together"), makes his point that Christmas is a time for celebration, generosity, and fellowship. The former takes place at a fantastical version of the charity show he was seen promoting on Christmas Eve, and the latter whisks Scrooge on a tour of London that includes the homes of his nephew Fred, his clerk Bob Cratchit, and Mr. Smythe, a recently widowed client of Scrooge's lending house. The entire Christmas Future ("Dancing On Your Grave", "You Mean More to Me (Reprise)", and "Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Today"), culminates in Scrooge's awakening in his bedroom on Christmas morning. "What a Day, What a Sky" bookends "Nothing to Do With Me", dramatizing Scrooge's new outlook as he races through the streets of London making amends. The show concludes with a reprise of "Christmas Together" featuring the entire cast.

Reception David Richards reviewed the 1994 production for The New York Times writing: Of the score, Richards wrote: "After the spectacle, the score by Mr. Menken (with lyrics by Ms. Ahrens) is the production's major drawing card." Richards continued, "The eye is courted at every turn, the special effects come on a regular basis and the street scenes don't lack for warmly dressed bodies and the odd beggar. At the end, snow falls in the hall as well as onstage, which so thrilled an incredulous 8-year-old boy seated near me that he got up and danced in the aisle." Lawrence Van Gelder reviewed the 2002 production for The New York Times writing, "Music, dance, colorful costumes and atmospheric scenery – all intended to make holiday theatergoing a pleasant family experience – are marshaled here to satisfying effect." Of F. Murray Abraham's performance, Gelder wrote: "Far from the terrifying figure who made blind men's dogs tug their owners into doorways and up courts, Mr. Abraham can scarcely contain the good cheer waiting to burst out in little bits of business before his ghostly encounters." Jeremy Gerard reviewed the 1994 production for "Variety" writing, "The show begins with a thunderous percussive explosion — rumbling organ, crashing cymbals, blaring brass — on Tony Walton's wraparound London cityscape set that's so big you could park Norma Desmond's mansion in there and never notice it." Gerard continues: Noting the costume design, Gerard said: "For a later dance number, a Christmas ball stunningly set in Fezziwig's Banking House, costume designer William Ivey Long (another "Crazy" alum) has outdone himself, which is saying something, as gown after wildly colorful gown makes its entrance and has its spin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malplaquet%20proclamation

Malplaquet proclamation

The Malplaquet proclamation was issued by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, commander of the Anglo-allied army on 22 June 1815. It announced to the French people that Wellington's army was there to restore their rightful king (Louis XVIII) and government that had been usurped by Napoleon Bonaparte on his return from the island of Elba; and that their lives and their property rights would be honoured. Prelude In response to Napoleon Bonaparte leaving Elba and landing in France on 13 March 1815 Seventh Coalition powers meeting at the Congress of Vienna declared Napoleon Bonaparte an outlaw and that they would render "all the assistance requisite to restore public tranquillity" to the French King and nation. After the Seventh Coalition's victory at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815, the Anglo-allied army under the command of Wellington and a Prussian army under the command of Prince Blücher followed up the general French retreat and crossed the frontier into France intending to march on Paris. Although they marched close enough to come to each other's aid if needed the commanders chose slightly different axes of advance. At daybreak of 19 June, that portion of Wellington's army which had fought the Battle of Waterloo, broke up from its bivouac, and began to move along the high road to Nivelles. Those troops which had been posted in front of Hal during 18 June, were likewise directed to march upon Nivelles. Wellington's army occupied Nivelles and the surrounding villages during the night of 19 June; in the course of which the Duke arrived from Brussels, and established his headquarters in the town. It was there that he issued a general order to his army. In the general order he made it clear to those under his command: The Anglo-Allied Army marched on 20 June to Binche and Mons with the cavalry screen fanning out to cover the van and flanks of the army. Wellington established his headquarters at Binche. On 21 June, Wellington crossed the French frontier, moving the principal portion of his army to Bavay, and the remainder from Mons upon Valenciennes, which fortress was immediately blockaded; and established his headquarters at Malplaquet, on site of the Battle of Malplaquet where the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy had won a famous victory against the French a century before. Proclamation At Malplaquet Wellington issued a proclamation to the French people that Napoleon Bonaparte was an usurper and that his army came as liberators not as enemy invaders and that he had issued orders to his army that all French citizens who did not oppose his army would be treated fairly and with respect. In contrast, no proclamation of a similar nature was issued by Prince Blücher, commander of the Prussian army, nor were any direct orders given by the latter to remind his troops that France was "to be treated as a friendly country", or to forbid them taking anything "for which payment be not made". In the opinion of Siborne and Gifford: Meanwhile, the British, Dutch, and German troops under the Duke of Wellington acquired from the outset the goodwill and kindly disposition of the inhabitants of the country through which they passed. The Anglo-Allied troops inspired the people with confidence: the Prussians awed them into subjection. Much of the cause of all this may be traced to the different views entertained by the two great Commanders. Blücher's extreme hatred of the French would not allow him to modify, still less to abandon, the opinion which he had imbibed from the first moment he heard of the escape of Napoleon from Elba; that they ought not only to be thoroughly humbled, but also severely punished. Neither he nor his soldiers could ever forget the cruelties and extortions which their own country had been compelled to endure when overrun by the French: and now that they were once more brought into the land of their enemies, and another period of retribution had arrived; but one sentiment pervaded the whole Prussian Army — that those who had not scrupled to inflict the scourge of war throughout the whole continent, should, in their turn, be made duly sensible of its evils. In Siborne's opinion a contrary train of ideas, or a different course of proceeding, on the part of the Prussians was scarcely to be expected. Hence the value of the excellent and orderly conduct of the British troops operating as a salutary counterpoise to the domineering and revengeful spirit which actuated the Prussians. Blücher felt equally with Wellington that the advance upon Paris before the approach of the other allied armies, which were then only crossing the Rhine, was a departure from strictly military principles; and that this could only be justified by the extraordinary moral effect which would be produced by the signal defeat of Napoleon. But his views were limited to the military part of the plan, which was to make a dash at the capital; and, if possible, to intercept Marshal Grouchy and his still intact and undefeated wing of the Army of the North, whilst endeavouring to rejoin the routed force under Marshal Soult. Wellington's policy embraced a wider field. He invariably kept in view the great object for which the war had been undertaken. The information which he contrived to obtain relative to the effect which Napoleon's disaster produced upon the minds of the leading men of the great political parties by which France was then agitated, and upon the Members of the two Chambers of Parliament generally, combined with the knowledge he had already acquired of the disposition of the inhabitants of the Department of the North, which, in fact, had not evinced that enthusiasm attendant upon the return of Napoleon from Elba that was manifested throughout the greater part of the nation, convinced him that by adopting measures calculated to impress upon the French people that the allies were friendly towards them, though inveterately hostile to Napoleon, and by seizing every advantage afforded by the presence and the influence of their legitimate monarch, he was, by such means, ensuring the security of the operations upon Paris more effectively than could have been accomplished by additional military force applied under different circumstances. The aid which such a line of conduct, on the part of Wellington, gave to the cause of Louis XVIII was immense. The people of the Northern Departments, who, in general, were wearied by the continuance of wars; and who now longed to enjoy the blessings of peace, saw in the friendly disposition of the allies, and the support which these yielded to the King's authority, a pledge of their determination to crush the war party, and at the same time, to cement their alliance with the legitimate sovereign. White flags were soon seen to wave from countless steeples. The tide of Royalty, favoured in no small degree by the versatile nature of a population now familiar changing regimes, was already setting in fast: and as it rolled steadily on towards the capital, Wellington's foresight and good tact gave it an impulse which not only bore him along with it in easy triumph, but; when it subsequently reached the goal, swept away every vestige of the government that supported Napoleon and his adherents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thematic%20village

Thematic village

Thematic villages () are small tourist villages formed from a need to generate an alternative source of income and foster a feeling of community and pride in declining rural areas. Austria The idea of thematic villages began in 1984 using four municipalities as test communities. With the success of those communities the non-profit Lower Austrian Village and Urban Renewal Project was founded in 1990 to motivate the population to participate actively in their villages, towns, and cities. By 2010 village redevelopment activities were implemented from 1341 locations. Examples of thematic villages: Krummnußbaum - Nut Village Purgstall an der Erlauf - Book Village Armschlag - Poppy Village Herrnbaumgarten - Nonsense Village Poland Seeing the success of the Austrian villages, Poland followed with their first thematic villages 15 years later. West Pomeranian Voivodeship The first Polish thematic villages, mostly geared towards children of school age, were established in this voivodeship. They include: Dąbrowa, the Village of Healthy Living; Iwiecino, the Village of the End of the World; Paproty, the Village of Labyrinths and Sources; the Fairytale and Fun Fair in Podgórke; and the Tolkien-inspired Hobbit Village, Sierakowo Sławieńskie.

A1 motorway (Switzerland)

The A1 is a motorway in Switzerland. It follows Switzerland's main east–west axis, from St. Margrethen in northeastern Switzerland's canton of St. Gallen through to Geneva in southwestern Switzerland. The motorway spans 383 km (240 mi). Besides the motorway's main route, it has several branches that are variously numbered A1a, A1h, A1l and A1.1. It was opened for the Swiss national exhibition of 1964. After the construction of the third Baregg Tunnel tube, the traffic jams in this area were reduced, but the Gubrist Tunnel remains with the old capacity as a new point of heavy traffic. The A1 motorway is connected via a taxiway at the hangar 5 with the airfield of Payerne Air Base and can, if necessary, used as runway for take off - and landing. However, this possibility has never been used since the construction of the highway. Exit list See also Transportation in Switzerland References External links A01 A01

Swing boat

A swing boat, colloquially known as a "shuggy boat" in Northern England, is a fairground ride in which pairs of riders pull ropes to swing back and forth. A similar ride called a pirate ship swings in a similar motion but without the rider pulling on ropes. Swing boats were one of the earliest fairground rides, common in the Victorian era. The Beamish open-air museum features an example from the 1830s, named "Skylark". The boats were originally powered by hand, but steam-driven versions began to be introduced in the 1880s. Examples of Victorian-style manually-operated swing boats are still popular and are generally seen in traveling "period" fairs. See also Pirate ship (ride) References Pendulum rides

2022 Mr. Olympia

The 2022 Mr. Olympia contest was an IFBB professional bodybuilding competition and expo held from December 15–18, 2022, at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, in Paradise, Nevada. Concurrently, the Olympia fitness expo was held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It was the 58th Mr. Olympia competition held. Other events at the exhibition included the 2022 212 Olympia Showdown, as well as finals in Men's Classic, Men's Physique, 2022 Ms. Olympia, Fitness, 2022 Figure, 2022 Bikini Olympia, among other contests. Venue The Olympia made a return to its traditional hosting venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, after spending two years in Orlando, Florida, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having overcome the challenges of previous years, the event returned to its pre-COVID size with many competitors and fans from across the world in attendance. As in recent years, the show continued to be streamed live to a global audience. Results Hadi Choopan won the 58th edition of Mr. Olympia Men's Open competition in 2022, with a prize of $400,000. Derek Lunsford came in second with a prize of $150,000. Ten other winners from multiple divisions were crowned during the two days of division finals, including Chris Bumstead, who won the Classic Physique title for the fourth consecutive time, and Shaun Clarida, who managed to win back the 212 Division title after losing it in 2021. The 2022 Olympia saw a changing of the guard of sorts as Hadi Choopan beat two-time champion Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay to claim his first Olympia title. In addition, newcomers to the Men's Open, such as Derek Lunsford (formerly a 212 competitor) and Andrew Jacked, performed better than longtime stars like William Bonac and Iain Valliere. The competition also saw a much larger field than in the preceding two years thanks to a decline in COVID-19 cases and subsequent restrictions, with competitors hailing from nations as diverse as Ireland, Nigeria, Brazil, and Slovakia. Aftermath The 2022 Mr Olympia saw a record amount of competitors in the open category, which led to almost half of all competitors placing in the unranked 16th place. As a result the IFBB announced that to qualify for ongoing Mr. Olympia finals, competitors must win at least one professional show, ending the points qualification system. Additionally as a result of the large number of finalists, the finals witnessed significant time overruns with the Open finals ending at 1 am local time, due to the many competitors in each division. This led to significant complaints by coaches such as Chris Aceto as well as complaints over crowding backstage and a lack of professionalism by competitors and commentators such as Jay Cutler and James Hollingshead. It remains to be seen if the IFBB will address these concerns going forward. References External links 2022 Mr Olympia Mr Olympia 2022 in bodybuilding

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catire%20Bello

Catire Bello

Catire Bello (April 24, 1989–February 20, 2001) was a Venezuelan racehorse who was most famous for his participation in the Florida Derby and becoming the 4th Venezuelan Triple Crown winner. Background Catire Bello which roughly translates to pretty blonde in Spanish was a Chestnut colt bred at Haras La Quebrada. He had no white markings on his feet but he had a signature white blaze on his face to go along with his orange coat. His sire was Inland Voyager a modest stakes runner who never finished better than 4th in graded stakes company. However he was quite an influential sire in Venezuela. Siring champions such as Voyardo, Delta Force, and Traffic Control His dam Pink Screen was a proven dam who mostly ran in allowance races. At auction he would be sold to Stud Illusion for 1,150,000 Venezuelan bolívars. History 2-year-old-season Catire Bello would make his first start on August 4, 1991, the race would be contested at 1100 meters or furlongs. The race was an effortless victory by 11 lengths. His debut was so impressive that 20 days later he would go into stakes company for the grade 3 Clasico Victoreado. Again it was barely even a challenge to Catire Bello. Halfway through the homestretch he already had a huge lead but in an instant, he more than doubled it to 8 lengths running away comfortably defeating Santu Pretu. Despite a small set back finishing second in the Premio Alberto H. Cipriani behind Santu Pretu. He would make his grade 1 debut in his 4th start the Premio Comparacion. Catire Bello would break well and set the pace keeping a good 1 length lead overall comers that tried to get near him. However, by the far turn, he began to simply open up throughout the stretch managing a 6 length score getting back at Santu Pretu. After another win 6 days later his 2-year-old year concluded and he would be awarded Co-Champion 2-year-old along with Santu Pretu. 3-year-old season To start his 3-year-old-year Catire Bello would continue his success in Venezuela with 2 more victories being added to his record. In both of these, he would have a rematch with fellow Venezuelan champion 2-year-old Santu Pretu. The first of these was the grade 2 Premio Francisco de Miranda. The race would go entirely Catire Bello's way as he would take the lead by a length with Santu Pretu right behind him. As they moved into the far turn Santu Pretu moved on the rail only a neck behind Catire Bello. But on the outside, Catire Bello with steady encouragement would slowly but surely repel Santu Pretu and go on to win. The second time around the race was not even a contest Santu Pretu was not able to get close to Catire Bello and he would easily romp by 11 lengths. American Campaign The 2 wins were so impressive to his trainer Ivan Calixto they decided to ship overseas and try an American campaign with hopes of running in the Kentucky Derby. His first prep to get ready for the Kentucky Derby would be the Florida Derby, with hopes that if he ran well enough they could continue forward towards the Kentucky Derby. The race would offer him many new challenges that he had never had to deal with before. He had never been around 2 turns, as well the quality of the horses in the race would be way harder than those in Venezuela. The idea of a Venezuelan colt winning the Kentucky Derby was not impossible as Canonero II had done it 21 years prior. Many Venezuelans attended the race and listened on the radio to see their horse run. However, when the race began Catire Bello slammed into the starting gate cutting into his stiffe and getting rid of any chance he had of winning. He would not be able to go the lead and instead had to pick off runners late he would face trouble again with 3/16th's to go to be a distant 6th place. Despite such a rough start to his American campaign Catire Bello would try again with a run in the Tropical Park Derby. Despite breaking better this time he simply didn't have it in him a higher dose of Lasix and fast fractions led to an even bigger dud then seen in the Florida Derby finishing 9th and only managing to defeat 1 horse in the race. His final bid to make it into the Kentucky Derby would be the Derby Trial. Like in the Florida Derby he would not go to the lead and stay towards the back running past tired horses to finish 4th by over 11 lengths. The possibility of making it into the Kentucky Derby was now simply unachievable so they decided to go for the Venezuelan Triple Crown instead. Venezuelan Triple Crown With no hope of running in the Kentucky Derby and replicating the achievements of Canonero II they shipped Catire Bello back quickly to get him back to Venezuela in time for the first jewel of the triple crown The Clasico Jose Antonio Paez. The trip back was very exhausting as Catire Bello would have just over 3 weeks after the Derby Trial to run in The Clasico Jose Antonio Paez. The trip caused Catire Bello to lose over 20 kilograms or 44 pounds. To get him into shape trainer Ivan Calixto prepped him with easy 2 mile gallops. Even with a nearly undefeated record in Venezuela people were skeptical if he was fit enough to win the race. Due to many people believing that Catire Bello was not at his best and vulnerable the race attracted 10 racers to challenge him. Despite being far from at his fittest Catire Bello ran in the race anyway. At the start, he was not a clear leader, and instead stalked right behind the front runners not going with his normal front running style. But by the far the turn he picked up drifting to the center of the track and opening up a 4 length lead to win. After winning such a race despite so many disadvantages the criticism disappeared, now everyone knew that Catire Bello was the best 3-year-old horse in Venezuela. By the second jewel the Clasico Ministerio de Agricultura y Cria he had gained back some of the weight he had lost and was closer to his full strength and ready to run. Now that his soundness was no longer questionable he had to answer a new question, could he handle two turns and a -mile race. At the start, he immediately fought for the front managing to take the lead over his rivals. The race after that turned into an exhibition as he continued to open up stride after stride until he crossed the wire 22 lengths ahead of his nearest opponent. Most challengers were reluctant to compete against Catire Bello after such a performance so for the Clasico Republica de Venezuela only 5 horses challenged him. The race would be run at miles and seemed to be a sure win. However, some were not so sure when the race began. At the start, Catire Bello zoomed the lead no one followed him except for one horse. His name was Camici and he ran right with him. Camici was a natural-born sprinter and was specifically sent as a rabbit to tire Catire Bello out. He would try as the two fought for the lead setting a suicidal pace running the first quarter in 21 2/5 seconds. But after this Camici was the first to give in and dropped back. Catire Bello had no one even near him. He was able to canter home winning the race by 9 lengths with a final time of 2:32.2. He was now the 4th triple crown winner. 1992 Clásico del Caribe Following his victory in the triple crown, he would race 3 times against elder horses in preparation for the biggest race of his career the Clásico del Caribe. He first would win the Premio Cria Nacional before managing a grand slam when he ran in the biggest race in Venezuela the Clasico Copa de Oro. The race started as he got a 1 length advantage in the backstretch and in the far turn opened up. However late game he tired slightly having his lead receding until the wire when he won by just under a length. He would win by a more confident margin in the Gran Premio Unicria before losing his final prep the Clasico Simon Bolivar. Even with the loss in the final prep, he was favored for the Clásico del Caribe. At the start, things didn't go his way as he would not manage to take the lead and instead had to move his way up into second place right behind the Panama bred triple crown winner Leonardo. Throughout the entire race, Catire Bello played the role of second-best with Leonardo leading around every turn. Despite giving it all he had Leonardo was too much and Catire Bello remained stationary in second place until the wire as Leonard won the race by 1 length. Even with 2 losses to end the year Catire Bello was still good enough to earn the award for Venezuelan Horse Of The Year, Champion 3-year-old horse, and Champion Sprinter. Retirement After losing the Clásico del Caribe Catire Bello would run once at the age of 4 in the Clasico Andres Bello. At the start, he would be second on the rail but soon he would take the lead. By the far turn, the race was over and he easily won the race carrying 58 kilograms by over 6 lengths. An injury after the race would end his career and he would be put to stud. As a stud, he would manage to still win awards siring multiple champions such as Don Corleone and winning Venezuelan leading first-crop sire in 1997 and leading Venezuelan bred sire in 1999. However, his stud career would be cut short after a battle with Laminitis took his life in 2001.

Sahār is a village and community development block in Bhojpur district of Bihar, India. The sub-district contains 51 inhabited villages, including that of Sahar itself, with a total district population of 110,276 as of 2011. The village of Sahar has a population of 5,674, in 931 households. Sahar was a major center of conflict during the wider Naxalite insurgency in Bhojpur in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Geography The sub-district of Sahar lies in the southeastern part of Bhojpur, on the Arrah plains. It is bordered by the sub-districts of Tarari to the west, Charpokhari to the northwest, and Agiaon to the northeast. On the southern and eastern sides of the district, the Son River forms the border with Arwal district. The village of Sahar itself lies on the north bank of the Son. Climate Sahar has a Köppen climate classification of Cwa, indicating a dry-winter humid subtropical climate. The average rainfall in Sahar is per year. January is the coldest month of the year. In mid-March, increased wind and occasional dust storms mark the beginning of summer, and temperatures rise, reaching their peak in May. In late June, the monsoon rains arrive, marking the end of summer and the beginning of the rainy season, which lasts through September. Although temperatures fall during these months, the accompanying rise in humidity often makes the heat feel more unpleasant than the raw temperature would otherwise suggest. By mid-October, after the end of the rainy season, a cool and pleasant winter begins, and temperatures continue to drop until the end of the calendar year. History In the 1960s, as part of the broader Green Revolution the Intensive Area Development Project targeted Bhojpur district, and particularly the Sone Canal, for agricultural development. Sahar, called "the model block of Bhojpur" by Kalyan Mukherjee and Rajendra Singh Yadav, benefited greatly from this development. Peasants came to own tractors, and literacy rates markedly increased. A saying of Sahar peasants at the time illustrates the improvement in standard of living at the time: "Sahar Haryana ban gaya hai. Yaha koi admi bhook se naha marta." (In English, "Sahar has become Haryana. No one dies of hunger here.") However, caste-based tensions continued, causing significant unrest among lower-caste members. Corrupt upper-caste Bhumihar landlords would coerce lower-caste women who worked their lands into having sex with them; they also paid insufficient wages to their workers. These grievances led many peasants to gravitate towards socialism and particularly Naxalism. Although the grievances of the rural lower castes in Bhojpur were longstanding, the direct catalyst of the Bhojpur insurgency came during the 1967 Indian general election, when the Socialist politician Jagdish Mahto was attacked by upper-caste landlords in the village of Ekwari, in Sahar block. In the following years, Sahar block became a hotbed of conflict. In 1970, the government of Bihar reported 26 murders and 9 dacoities that had been committed by Naxalites in the state, and in response strengthened the powers of the police department to deal with the Naxalites. However, the Naxalbari uprising in 1967 had drawn public attention away from the unrest in Bhojpur, so the district in particular was mostly ignored until 1973. On 6 May 1973, a violent clash broke out between police and local peasants at the village of Chauri, in Sahar block. An armed police posse arrived during the morning to arrest people suspected of stealing grain from a visiting trader. After encountering resistance from groups of farm workers, who declared that they would not allow any searches or arrests on their property, the police opened fire. Four villagers were killed, and nineteen of the policemen were injured. 36 people were arrested. The Chauri incident drew media attention to the Naxalite movement in Bhojpur for the first time. 1975 was the bloodiest year of the Bhojpur insurgency. In Sahar, there were violent encounters at the villages of Dullamchak on 14 April, Bahuara on 2 July, and Bahubandh on 28 November. In 1977, landlords in the Sahar village of Gurpa killed several Harijans, accusing them of being Naxalites. In late 1977 and early 1978, members of the Bhojpur chapter of the Sangharsh Vahini visited three villages (Dullamchak, Bansidehri, and Bargaon) in Sahar block. They later published a report on their findings, and included a list of proposed reforms for the district's peasants:. The items included distribution of gairmazarua (common) land among landless peasants, distribution of surplus land according to the Ceilings Act, peaceful resolution of wage disputes, establishment of local industries to supplement incomes for agricultural labourers, lifting of restrictions preventing Harijans from entering temples, and the removal of thanas and police camps from the villages. Also in 1978, Karpoori Thakur, then Chief Minister of Bihar, assembled a four-man committee to investigate the Naxalite movement in Sahar. Results were published in August of that year. The report noted a recalcitrant mood in the surveyed villages of Karbasin and Korandehri and concluded that the movement consisted of lower-caste members retaliating against upper-caste ones for years of exploitation and injustice. In November and December 1978, there were attacks on members of the Ahir community who were seen as collaborators with Bhumihar and Rajput landlords in the village of Newada, in Sahar block. Indian intelligence personnel viewed this as an important indicator of the class-based nature of the unrest in Bhojpur at the time. Demographics Sub-district In 2001, the population of Sahar block was 99,585; this increased to 110,276 in 2011, an increase of 10.7%.

The gender gap in literacy was 25.82%, which was about average for the district as a whole. The primary means of employment for Sahar block's workers in 2011 was agriculture, with over 80% of the population engaged in some form of agricultural work. 29.03% of workers were cultivators who owned or leased their own land, and 52.39% were agricultural labourers who worked someone else's land for wages. Both percentages were somewhat higher than the averages for all of Bhojpur district (23% and 44%, respectively). Household industry workers constituted 3.32% of Sahar block's workforce, and all other workers made up the remaining 15.26%. 86.0% of the total land area in Sahar block was under cultivation in 2011.

Jianguomen (Beijing)

Jianguomen () was a gate in the city wall that once stood in Beijing and is now a transportation hub to the east of city centre. At Jianguomen bridge, the eastern 2nd Ring Road divides Jianguomen Inner Street to the west from Jianguomen Outer Street to the east. A sub-district, Jianguomen Subdistrict is named after the gate. It's part of Dongcheng district. History Jianguomen was not one of the 16 original gates in Beijing's 15th century Ming-era city wall. The gate was an opening on the east side of Beijing's inner city wall that was created in 1939 during the Japanese occupation of the city to enable access to the industrializing eastern suburbs of the city. The gate was formally named the Jianguomen in November 1945. At that time Beiping, as the city was then known, returned to Chinese rule. The oldest landmark at Jianguomen is the famous Beijing Ancient Observatory. In the 1970s, numerous embassies of Western countries opened in the area northwest of Jianguomen. In 1973, the Beijing Friendship Store was moved from Wangfujing to Jianguomen Outer Street.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis%20Nyauri

Francis Nyauri

Francis Kainda Nyaruri, also known as Mong'are Mokua (ca. 1978 – 29 January 2009), a Kenyan freelance journalist for the Weekly Citizen newspaper in Nyamira, Nyamira County, Kenya, had published several articles about local police officials exposing acts of corruption and malpractice approximately two weeks before his dead body was found decapitated with hands bound. Personal Thirty-one year old Francis Nyaruri is survived by his wife Josephine Kwamboka who identified him at Kisii Hospital on 29 January 2009. Kwamboka stated her husband had left the house earlier to travel to Kisii to buy construction materials he was in dire need of. His wife then informed reporters the last time she had talked with Francis was around 11 am. Friends and family had stated that about a month prior to Nyaruri's disappearance he had confided in them about recent death threats he was receiving in regards to his latest articles revealing police malpractice. Career Francis Nyaruri was a freelance journalist at a private newspaper the Weekly Citizen. Nyaruri wrote under the pen name Mong'are Mokua since most of his articles told stories of corruption involving police and municipal official in Nyamira. This made him an enemy to many officials in his local area, but Nyaruri never feared which sometimes caused him to act without precautions. Disappearance and death Kenyan police say Nyaruri had gone missing within two days of when the threats had been received. When family members reported Nyaruri as a missing person they noticed the police officials seemed to be very reluctant to help and almost seemed uncooperative suggesting he had failed to come home due to an alleged affair with a woman from a neighbouring town and that the family should wait a couple days or even a week before calling the police. About two weeks later on 29 January 2009, Nyaruri's body was found on the outskirts of the Kodera Forest in western Kenya. When the corpse had been found Nyaruri had been obviously decapitated and his hands were also found bound behind his back leaving him powerless. Context Around the time of Nyaruri's death, his last article had just been released exposing police officials of corruption in construction facilities in Nyamira and neighbouring cities and towns. Nyaruri was very familiar with articles on corruption as this was not his first article causing questions to be raised about the integrity of police officials across the nation. A friend to Nyaruri, Sam Owida stated that Francis had been incautious in the past stating he would rush off to a story without telling anyone. Nyaruri's last article stating high-ranking officials were conspiring to defraud the public of millions of shilling through a police housing project. Nyaruri was known for well he dealt with intimidation and which made reporting on issues of corruption involving government officials a bit easier. In 2008, Francis took on a national police officer Lawrence Njoroge Mwara accusing the officer of using the police vehicles to ship prostitutes and escorts across the country. Peter Nyaruri, Nyaruri's father admits that after this article his son had been threatened multiple times forcing him to go into hiding for several weeks. In recent articles, Nyaruri is seen accusing Mwara, the same officer from his 2008 articles of corruption and an extortion racket on construction projects. Even though Nyaruri had written his latest article under his pen name threats were allegedly being made almost immediately following. After many investigations that included an overview of law documents and interviews with people directly intertwined with the case, evidence was found showing that high-ranked officials participated in an enormous effort to obstruct the investigation of Nyaruri's murder. Attorney General Amos Wako states "There is a strong suspicion that police officers could have executed the deceased." Many officials believe that members of a local municipal gang sungusungu were involved. They originated as a community security task force but with time, "sungusungu" quickly became criminal and murderous. There was a Kenyan journalist Sam Owida, whose reports had helped expose and mostly publicise Nyaruri's case and his unsolved murder started to receive threatening phone calls and the caller explained he would share the same fate as Nyaruri if he kept reporting. Owida was also one of the first people to uncover Nyaruri's body in the Kodera Forest. The Committee to Protect Journalists(CPJ) provided Owida with protection after Owida explained that the caller claimed to be part of the local militia sungusungu and after confirming Owida was the reporter said they were "on to him". These phone calls forced Sam Owida to go into hiding for several weeks. Impact Nyaruri was one of 54 journalists murdered in 2009, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Reactions Reporters Without Borders said it was shocked by the murder of Nyaruri, found dumped in the forests. "We would like above all to express our deep sympathy to the victim's family," Reporters Without Borders said. RSF urged the authorities, including the police chief Larry Kieng, to establish the motive behind the murder and to bring those responsible to justice. Koïchiro Matsuura, director-general of UNESCO, said, "I condemn the murder of Francis Nyaruri. I trust that this crime will be investigated and that its culprits will be brought to trial, not just for the sake of Francis Nyaruri but the sake of democracy and good governance. Journalists like him carry out important, albeit controversial, work that contributes to debate and democracy." On 3 March 2009, Joel Simon, executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists wrote to the President of the Republic of Kenya stating his organisation's concern over the lack of progress in Nyaruri's police investigation. In the letter, Simon said, representatives from "Nyamira's local government may be involved with Francis Nyaruri's murder and he tries asking for permission from the parliament to put together a private group to carry on with the investigation due to the close nature of the police officers on the force. Local journalists in Kenya say Kenya's once vibrant media now often practices self-censorship, as many journalists refrain from reporting on violent attacks for fear of deadly reprisals." Journalists also expressed that they feel as if journalists should be able to do their job right and well without the fear of being attacked or viciously threatened.

Malla Samuelsen

Malene (Malla) Sofie Samuelsen née Poulsen (11 July 1909 – 29 November 1997) was a Faroese politician and feminist who became the first woman to sit in the Løgting, the Faroese parliament, when she served for a short period as a substitute in 1964. She was also one of the founders of the Faroese Women's Association (Kvinnufelagið), frequently serving as its chair. Biography Born on 11 July 1909 in Kirkja on the easterly island of Fugloy, Malene Sofie Poulsen was the daughter of the fisherman Petur Pauli Poulsen (1881–1957) and his wife Susanne Elisabeth Zachariasen (1885–1919). One of seven children, after her mother died when she was eight, she was brought up by her maternal grandparents. Her grandfather, Símun Mikkjal Zachariasen, was a poet, politician and schoolteacher who played an active part in Faroese cultural life. When she was 16, Poulsen moved to Tórshavn where she took care of the house where her uncle and brother lived while attending college. A couple of years later, she went to Copenhagen where she worked as a housemaid. When she was 35 she married a Danish sailor, Carl Niklas Samuelsen, and set up house in Tórshavn. They had two children together. Like many of her compatriots, she was often left alone when her husband was away at sea. In 1952, Samuelsen was one of those who founded the Faroese women's association Kvinnufelagið í Havn. She was a board member for many years, sometimes the association's chair. She supported the association's goals of improving the political, economic and cultural roles of women. As the political parties showed little interest in having women members, the association set its own agenda, successfully having several women elected to the Tórshavn city council in 1956. Samuelsen, representing the Sjálvstýrisflokkurin party, was among them. She served on a number of committees involved in social services and education, and was re-elected in 1960. In 1964, acting for a short period as a substitute, she became the first woman to sit in the Faroese parliament. It was not until 1978 that the first women, Jona Henriksen and Karin Kjølbro, were officially elected to the Løgting. In 1965, Samuelsen was appointed head of the Tórshavn old peoples home where she remained for 13 years. She died in Tórshavn on 29 November 1997.

DOCK (protein)

DOCK (Dedicator of cytokinesis) is a family of related proteins involved in intracellular signalling networks. DOCK family members contain a RhoGEF domain to function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors to promote GDP release and GTP binding to specific Small GTPases of the Rho family (e.g., Rac and Cdc42), leading to their activation since Rho proteins are inactive when bound to GDP but active when bound to GTP. Subfamilies DOCK family proteins are categorised into four subfamilies based on their sequence homology: DOCK-A subfamily Dock180 (also known as Dock1) Dock2 Dock5 DOCK-B subfamily Dock3 (also known as MOCA and PBP) Dock4 DOCK-C subfamily (also known as Zir subfamily) Dock6 (also known as Zir1) Dock7 (also known as Zir2) Dock8 (also known as Zir3) DOCK-D subfamily (also known as Zizimin subfamily) Dock9 (also known as Zizimin1) Dock10 (also known as Zizimin3) Dock11 (also known as Zizimin2) References GTP-binding protein regulators

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza%20Noroeste

Plaza Noroeste

The Plaza Noroeste Commercial Center is a community shopping center under construction in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. History The Plaza Noroeste has its origins in a petition started in early 2017 on Change.org by Isabela resident Xavier Félix, with the intention of establishing a Costco retail store in either Aguadilla or his hometown. The reason given was that "there [was] a large number of children with special needs and [in] need [of] a variety of foods, not found in most local markets" and the long drive to the nearest Costco, located in Bayamón, to obtain these foods. Development Several days before the official announcement, rumours had been going around as to the opening of a Costco store in Aguadilla. On February 8, 2021, through his social media accounts, newly inaugurated Aguadillan mayor, Julio Roldán Concepción, announced "after 5 years of waiting [,] as part of the efforts of [his] administration" he had given the "green light" to the project. Roldán signed off on the last permits and construction effectively started on that date. He claimed that the five year long wait was due to the companies waiting for his election because "they wanted to benefit from my proposals for exemptions in municipal patents for new companies that would be established in Aguadilla." The anchor tenant is expected to be Costco, yet the company had not made any public official announcements since it is "company policy not to comment on future warehouses...[until] it is generally two to three months" before the official opening date. Nevertheless, as of February 9, 2021, the agreement with Costco was said to be "advanced by 98 percent" to completion, which was expected to be in two weeks time after the green lighting. Up until then, Costco managed four stores in Puerto Rico, two in Bayamón, one between Río Piedras and Carolina, and another one in Caguas, thus it would be its first outside of the Metropolitan area and the first in the western region, yet the chain store had not announced any plans to open a fifth location. If Costco were to refuse, Roldán Concepción mentioned that there might be the option of having a Walmart Supercenter as a second choice anchor store. In total there should be seven stores in the complex. Interested businesses include El Mesón Sandwiches, Cooperativa de Seguros Múltiples (an insurance company) and Chick-fil-A, nonetheless, as of February 10, 2021, no final agreements have been signed. Each of these would occupy a structures,. while Costco would occupy a warehouse. J Cajigas & Associates, the company in charge of dealing with potential tenants, has stated that the leasing or complete ownership of each structure is up to the agreement with each tenant. However, it was also reported that there might be 12 "free standing" structures, covering a total area of . The original investment was $5 million, yet this was expected to increase to a total of $40 million when the project would be finalized. The project is expected to last between 12 and 18 months and open late 2021 or early 2022, generating 150 jobs during its first phase. Another source quoted the mayor as saying that there 75 jobs created, and in the next month over 180 additional workers would be hired for construction. The total amount of jobs created was estimated to be between 300 and 400 by the time all stores opened and would present an influx of $1.5 million in patents. The project has received municipal and property tax exemptions for a year in exchange of hiring only Aguadillan employees. Upon original announcement, it was not revealed where the shopping center would be located. Later on it was announced that Plaza Noroeste will be built on a plot of land between PR-2's 124.5 and 124.7 km of the José Joaquín "Yiye" Ávila stretch.

Maria Rye

Maria Susan Rye, (31 March 1829 – 12 November 1903), was a social reformer and a promoter of emigration from England, especially of young women living in Liverpool workhouses, to the colonies of the British Empire, especially Canada. Early life She was born at 2 Lower James Street, Golden Square, in central London, on 31 March 1829. She was the eldest of the nine children of Edward Rye, solicitor and bibliophile, and Maria Tuppen. Edward Rye of Baconsthorpe, Norfolk, was her grandfather. Of her brothers, Edward Caldwell Rye was an entomologist, and Walter Rye, solicitor, antiquary, and athlete, published works on Norfolk history and topography and was mayor of Norwich in 1908–9. Maria Rye received her education at home and read for herself in the large library of her father. Career Coming under the influence of Charles Kingsley's father, then vicar of St Luke's Church, she devoted herself at the age of sixteen to parochial work in Chelsea. She was impressed by the lack of opportunity of employment for women outside the teaching profession. In succession to Mary Howitt, she soon became secretary of Langham Place, London#The Langham Place Group which promoted the Married Women's Property bill, which was brought forward by Sir Thomas Erskine Perry in 1856 but was not fully passed till 1882. Rye joined the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women on its foundation, but, disapproving of the women's franchise movement which the leading members supported, soon left it. In 1859, she undertook a private law-stationer's business at 12 Portugal Street, Lincoln's Inn, in order to give employment to middle-class girls. At the same time, she helped to establish the Victoria Press in association with her business in 1860 (under the charge of Emily Faithfull), and the employment bureau and telegraph school in Great Coram Street, with Isa Craig as secretary. The telegraph school anticipated the employment of girls as telegraph clerks. The law-stationer's business prospered, but the applications for employment were far in excess of the demands of the concern. With Jane Lewin, she consequently raised a fund for assisting middle-class girls to emigrate, and to the question of emigration she devoted the rest of her life. Emigration She founded, in 1861, the Female Middle Class Emigration Society (absorbed since 1884 in the United British Women's Emigration Association). Between 1860 and 1868, she was instrumental in sending girls of the middle class and domestic servants to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. She visited these colonies to form committees for the protection of the emigrants. Together with several governesses and over 100 women traveling in steerage, Rye sailed to New Zealand in 1863. There in Dunedin, she found the terrible conditions in which immigrant single women had been housed -- former military barracks with few amenities. She became the center of political and philanthropic controversies as she sought for reform from the provincial government's immigration offices. Within two years, she had traveled across New Zealand and found few opportunities for skilled, educated single women. Even in the more settled Canterbury region, Rye realized the scheme was not going to work since the local populace emphasized their need for domestic servants or marriageable farmhands. From 1868, when she handed over her law business to Lewin, Rye devoted herself exclusively to the emigration of pauper children, or, in a phrase which she herself coined, 'gutter children.' After visiting in New York the Little Wanderers' Home for the training of derelict children for emigrant life which Mr. Van Meter, a Baptist minister from Ohio, had founded, she resolved to give the system a trial in London. Encouraged by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury and The Times newspaper and with the financial support of William Rathbone VI, M.P., in 1869 she purchased Avenue House, High Street, Peckham, and with her two younger sisters, in spite of public opposition and prejudice, took there from the streets or the workhouses waifs and strays from the ages of three to sixteen. Fifty girls from Kirkdale industrial school, Liverpool, were soon put under her care ; they were trained in domestic economy and went through courses of general and religious instruction. At Niagara, Canada, Rye also acquired a building which she called 'Our Western Home.' It was opened on 1 December 1869. To this house Miss Rye drafted the children from Peckham, and after further training they were distributed in Canada as domestic servants among respectable families. The first party left England in October 1869. She received a civil list pension of £10 in 1871. Poor law children were subsequently received at Peckham from St. George's, Hanover Square, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Reading, and other towns. By 1891 Rye had found homes in Canada for some five hundred children. She accompanied each batch of emigrants, and visited the children already settled there. The work was continued with great success for over a quarter of a century, and did much to diminish the vicious habits and the stigma of pauperism. Lord Shaftesbury remained a consistent supporter, and in 1884 Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, then governor-general of Canada, warmly commended the results of her pioneer system, which Thomas John Barnardo and others subsequently adopted and extended. Later life In 1895, owing to the continuous strain, Rye transferred the two institutions in Peckham and Niagara with their funds to the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society (now The Children's Society). In her farewell report of 1895 she stated that 4000 English and Scottish children then in Canada had been sent out from her home in England. She retired with her sister Elizabeth to 'Baconsthorpe,' Hemel Hempstead, where she spent the remainder of her life. There she died, after four years' suffering, of intestinal cancer on 12 November 1903, and was buried in the churchyard.

Dance a Little Closer

Dance a Little Closer is a musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Charles Strouse. The story is an updated version of Robert E. Sherwood's 1936 antiwar comedy Idiot's Delight. Plot overview The musical is set on New Year's Eve "in the avoidable future" in the grand Alpine Barclay Palace Hotel, where the guests find themselves in the midst of a potential nuclear Armageddon. The characters are American singer Harry Aikens and Cynthia Brookfield-Bailey, who may have had a romantic fling years earlier. Among the others present are Cynthia's current paramour, Henry Kissinger-like diplomat Dr. Josef Winkler, a gay couple, a minister, and a freedom fighter. Production The musical opened on Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre on May 11, 1983, where it closed after one performance and 25 previews. Directed by Lerner and choreographed by Billy Wilson, the cast included Len Cariou, Noel Craig, Liz Robertson, George Rose, Don Chastain, Jeff Keller, Brent Barrett, and Alyson Reed. Show business insiders dubbed it "Dance a Little Faster...Close a Little Sooner." In his New York Times review Frank Rich described it as "a huge, extravagant mishmash...that seems to have taken on a rampaging, self-destructive life of its own," a sentiment similar to those expressed by the other critics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americus%20Institute

Americus Institute

Americus Institute was a secondary school in Americus, Georgia, United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The school was established in 1897 by the Southwestern Georgia Baptist Association in order to educate African American youth in the area. By the 1920s, the school was enrolling about 200 students annually and was considered one of the premier secondary schools for African Americans in the state. The school closed in 1932. Establishment and early years The idea for a secondary school in Americus, Georgia designed to educate the African American youth of the area began in 1878 amongst the members of the Southwestern Colored Baptist Association. Americus was located in Georgia's Black Belt, with about 1 million African Americans living within of the city. Despite the large population, the area lacked adequate educational facilities for African Americans. Within a few years, the organization had raised roughly $1,300 in cash and had acquired about of land to serve as the school's campus. However, by the 1890s, the money raised for the school had been mishandled and the size of the campus had shrunk significantly. Additionally, the initial enthusiasm for the school had subsided within the group. Despite this, the school, known as Americus Institute, was officially founded in 1897. According to an article in the Southern Workman, the school's founders had three goals for the school: To provide a thorough high-school education for Negro youth. To develop a spirit of self-support in Negro education. To stimulate friendly relationship between the races. Major W. Reddick, a graduate from Atlanta Baptist College's first graduating class, served as the initial principal, with a total faculty of two. The school held its first class on October 2, 1897, with nine students in a small two-room cottage. In its first year of existence, the owners of the school donated roughly $400 for the school's maintenance. In the years following its establishment, the school grew steadily. The two-room cottage was expanded with additional rooms and a second floor, and a dining hall and dormitories for boys and girls were also built on the campus. By 1907, the faculty had grown to eight, of whom seven had had professional training in education and six had graduated from Spelman Seminary. Additionally, the number of students had increased to 175 students from Southwest Georgia and Florida. That same year, on April 11, one of the dormitories was destroyed in a fire, with Reddick requesting $10,000 in donations to help improve the school. By 1908, the school had 193 students, and in May of that year, noted African American leader Booker T. Washington spoke at the school. By 1909, the school was one of 26 that received financial support from the American Baptist Home Mission Society. The school's annual expenses at this time were about $8,500, while the value of the school's property was about $21,000. In a report from Atlanta Baptist College President George Sale, he spoke highly of the school during this time, stating, "No institution I know of bids so fair to become a great academy for Negro pupils as Americus". Office of Education report In 1917, the school was covered in a report published by the United States Office of Education, which had visited the school in both November 1913 and February 1916. In their report, the office stated that the school "serves as a central institution in which pupils may supplement the training received in the rural schools". Additionally, they noted that the school's "good management is seriously handicapped by lack of funds". The school at this time had 14 teachers and 98 students, though the enrollment for the entire year was 200. As part of the office's conclusions for the school, they recommended that more emphasis be placed on industrial education and that the school needed additional financial support. Later years By 1921, the school, with an enrollment of 229 students, was receiving funding from the General Education Board. Additional funding from this time came from the school's farm, which generated a net profit of $1,387 in 1922. While the school continued to promote a curriculum of practice over theory, many students from Americus matriculated to some of the best historically black colleges and universities in the country. By 1929, the school became one of five secondary schools to become affiliated with Morehouse College (the new name of Atlanta Baptist College). The school filed for bankruptcy in 1930 and permanently closed in 1932. The city purchased the property in 1934 to build a new African American high school.

Cabinet of Slovenia

This article is a list of cabinets of Slovenia, the chief executive body of the Republic of Slovenia. Unlike the President of Slovenia, who is directly elected, the Prime Minister of Slovenia is appointed by the National Assembly and must control a parliamentary majority there in order to govern successfully, even though it is judicially allowed to govern with a minority cabinet. Since 1990, Slovenia has had 13 governments. The government is formed by political parties that are elected on democratic elections every four years, except if preliminary elections are determined to be held, which has happened two times since the independence. Slovenia has had in total of nine prime ministers, nine men and one woman, since 1990. Statistics The longest serving Prime Minister to date was Janez Drnovšek who held the post for 10 years and 45 days (3,695 days) between the years 1992 and 2002, followed by Janez Janša who ruled for 5 years and 28 days (2,584 days). He also holds the longest uninterrupted mandate of 2,180 days, between the years 2004 and 2008. The shortest term is held by Andrej Bajuk, who was on position for 176 days. Alenka Bratušek is the first woman to take the position of the Prime Minister of Slovenia and until now the only one to do so. The first minority cabinet was led by Borut Pahor in 2012 as two coalition parties: Zares and DeSUS left the coalition. The first preliminary elections followed just a few months after the break up of the coalition. Since then Slovenia witnessed another preliminary elections in 2014, when Janša's second cabinet broke up after DeSUS and DL, left the coalition and the cabinet found itself in minority. Current government The 15th Government of Slovenia was sworn on 1 June 2022. It is headed by Prime Minister Robert Golob.

Harry Secombe

Sir Harry Donald Secombe (8 September 1921 – 11 April 2001) was a Welsh actor, comedian, singer and television presenter. Secombe was a member of the British radio comedy programme The Goon Show (1951–1960), playing many characters, most notably Neddie Seagoon. An accomplished tenor, he also appeared in musicals and films – notably as Mr Bumble in Oliver! (1968) – and, in his later years, was a presenter of television shows incorporating hymns and other devotional songs. Early life Secombe was born in St Thomas, Swansea, the third of four children of Nellie Jane Gladys (née Davies), a shop manageress, and Frederick Ernest Secombe, a commercial traveller and office worker for a Swansea wholesale grocery business. From the age of 11 he attended Dynevor School, a state grammar school in central Swansea. His family were regular churchgoers, belonging to the congregation of St Thomas Church. A member of the choir, from the age of 12 Secombe would perform a sketch entitled The Welsh Courtship at church socials, acting as "feed" to his sister Carol. His elder brother, Fred Secombe, became the author of several books about his experiences as an Anglican priest and rector. Army service After leaving school in 1937, Secombe became a pay clerk at Baldwin's store. With war looming, he decided in 1938 that he would join the Territorial Army. Very short sighted, he got a friend to tell him the sight test, and then learnt it by heart. He served as a Lance Bombardier in No.132 Field Regiment of the Royal Artillery. He referred to the unit in which he served during the Second World War in the North African Campaign, Sicily, and Italy, as "The Five-Mile Snipers". While in North Africa Secombe met Spike Milligan for the first time. In Sicily he joined a concert party and developed his own comedy routines to entertain the troops. When Secombe visited the Falkland Islands to entertain the troops after the 1982 Falklands War, his old regiment promoted him to the rank of sergeant – 37 years after he had been demobbed. As an entertainer He made his first radio broadcast in May 1944 on a variety show aimed at the military services. Following the end of fighting in the war but prior to demobilisation, Secombe joined a pool of entertainers in Naples and formed a comedy duo with Spike Milligan. Secombe joined the cast of the Windmill Theatre in 1946, using a routine he had developed in Italy about how people shaved. An early review said that Secombe was "an original humorist of the infectious type and is very funny in a series showing how different men shave and in an impression of a vocalist." Secombe always claimed that his ability to sing could always be counted on to save him when he bombed. After a regional touring career, his first break came in radio in 1951 when he was chosen as resident comedian for the Welsh series Welsh Rarebit, followed by appearances on Variety Bandbox and a regular role in Educating Archie. Secombe met Michael Bentine at the Windmill Theatre, and he was introduced to Peter Sellers by his agent Jimmy Grafton. Both Milligan and Sellers credited him with keeping the act on the bill when club owners had wanted to sack them. Together with Spike Milligan, the four wrote a comedy radio script, and Those Crazy People was commissioned and first broadcast on 28 May 1951. Produced by Dennis Main Wilson, this soon became The Goon Show and the show remained on the air until 1960. Secombe mainly played Neddie Seagoon, around whom the show's absurd plots developed. In 1955, whilst appearing on The Goon Show, Secombe was approached by the BBC to step in at short notice to take the lead in the radio comedy Hancock's Half Hour. The star of the show, Tony Hancock, had decided to take an unannounced break abroad, on the day before the live airing of the second season. Secombe appeared in the lead for the first three episodes and had a guest role in the fourth after Hancock's return. All four episodes are lost, but following the discovery of the original scripts, the episodes were rerecorded in 2017, with his son, Andrew Secombe performing the role held by his late father. With the success of The Goon Show, Secombe developed a dual career as both a comedy actor and a singer. At the beginning of his career as an entertainer, his act would end with a joke version of the duet Sweethearts, in which he sang both the baritone and falsetto parts. Trained under Italian maestro Manlio di Veroli, he emerged as a bel canto tenor (characteristically, he insisted that in his case this meant "can belto") and had a long list of best-selling record albums to his credit. In 1958 he appeared in the film Jet Storm, which starred Dame Sybil Thorndike and Richard Attenborough and in the same year Secombe starred in the title role in Davy, one of Ealing Studios' last films. The power of his voice allowed Secombe to appear in many stage musicals. This included 1963's Pickwick, based on Charles Dickens's The Pickwick Papers, which gave him the no. 18 hit single "If I Ruled the World" – his later signature tune. In 1965 the show was produced on tour in the United States, where, on Broadway, he garnered a nomination for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. Secombe scored his biggest hit single in 1967 with his version of "This Is My Song", which peaked at no. 2 on the charts in March 1967 while a recording by Petula Clark, which had hit no. 1 in February, was still in the top ten. He also appeared in the musical The Four Musketeers (1967) at Drury Lane, as Mr. Bumble in Carol Reed's film of Oliver! (1968), and in the Envy segment of The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins (1971). He went on to star in his own television show, The Harry Secombe Show, which debuted on Christmas Day 1968 on BBC1 and ran for 31 episodes until 1973. A sketch comedy show featuring Julian Orchard as Secombe's regular sidekick, the series also featured guest appearances by fellow Goon Spike Milligan as well as leading performers such as Ronnie Barker and Arthur Lowe. Secombe later starred in similar vehicles such as Sing a Song of Secombe and ITV's Secombe with Music during the 1970s. Later career Later in life, Secombe (whose brother Fred Secombe was a priest in the Church in Wales, part of the Anglican Communion) attracted new audiences as a presenter of religious programmes, such as the BBC's Songs of Praise and ITV's Stars on Sunday and Highway. He was also a special programming consultant to Harlech Television and hosted a Thames Television programme in 1979 entitled Cross on the Donkey's Back. In the latter half of the 1980s, Secombe personally sponsored a football team for boys aged 9–11 in the local West Sutton Little League, 'Secombes Knights'. In 1990, he was one of a few to be honoured by a second appearance on This Is Your Life, when he was surprised by Michael Aspel at a book signing in a London branch of WH Smith. Secombe had been a subject of the show previously in March 1958 when Eamonn Andrews surprised him at the BBC Television Theatre. Honours In 1963 he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). He was knighted in 1981, and jokingly referred to himself as Sir Cumference (in recognition of his rotund figure). The motto he chose for his coat of arms was "GO ON", a reference to goon. Later life and death Secombe had peritonitis in 1980. Within two years, taking advice from doctors, he had lost five stone in weight. He had a stroke in 1997 and his colon burst, from which he made a slow recovery. He was then diagnosed with prostate cancer in September 1998. Following a second stroke in 1999, he was forced to abandon his television career, but made a documentary about his condition in the hope of giving encouragement to others with the condition. Secombe had diabetes in the latter part of his life. Secombe died on 11 April 2001 at the age of 79, from prostate cancer, in hospital in Guildford, Surrey. His ashes are interred at the parish church of Shamley Green, and a later memorial service to celebrate his life was held at Westminster Abbey on 26 October 2001. As well as family members and friends, the service was also attended by Charles, Prince of Wales and representatives of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Anne, Princess Royal, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. On his tombstone is the inscription: "To know him was to love him." At Peter Sellers's funeral in 1980, Secombe sang a hymn and Spike Milligan joked: "I hope you die before me because I don't want you singing at my funeral." After Milligan's death in 2002, a recording of Secombe singing Guide me, O Thou great Redeemer was played at Milligan's memorial service. The Secombe Theatre in Sutton, Greater London, was named after him. He is also fondly remembered at the London Welsh Centre, where he opened the bar on St Patrick's Day (17 March) 1971. Family Secombe met Myra Joan Atherton at the Mumbles Dance Hall in 1946. The couple were married from 1948 until his death, and had four children: Jennifer Secombe (died 2019), widow of actor Alex Giannini. She was her father's agent in his later years. Andy Secombe, a voice actor, film actor and author David Secombe, a writer and photographer Katy Secombe, an actress Myra, Lady Secombe died on 7 February 2017, aged 93.

Gary Myrick

Gary Myrick is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. Career Born in Dallas, Texas, Gary Myrick played guitar and sang in Dallas and neighboring Fort Worth starting as a teenager. Eventually, he built a significant enough reputation to be asked to join Austin, Texas band Krackerjack, replacing Stevie Ray Vaughan who had left to begin his solo career. After relocating to Los Angeles, California, he formed Gary Myrick & the Figures, releasing a self-titled album in 1980 which included the hit "She Talks in Stereo", which peaked at number 56 in Australia. The band then released the LP Living in a Movie (1981) before breaking up in 1982. Myrick released the solo EP Language (1983), which featured the percussive single "Guitar, Talk, Love & Drums" and an MTV hit "Message is You". His combination of blues, rock and new wave won him airplay on modern rock radio stations in the United States and exposure on MTV throughout the 1980s. Two of his songs, "She Talks in Stereo" and "Time to Win", were used in the 1983 film Valley Girl. Myrick took a break from his solo work to write four songs and play guitar on John Waite's No Brakes album, which included Waite's biggest solo hit "Missing You" and reached the top spot on the Billboard album chart in 1984. The following year came Myrick's LP Stand for Love with the single "When Angels Kiss" and a re-recording of "She Talks in Stereo." For the next few years, Myrick concentrated on work as a session and touring guitarist before joining his next group. Paul Simonon (former bassist of The Clash), Nigel Dixon (former lead singer of Whirlwind) and Myrick united to form Havana 3 am. The band released a self-titled album in 1991, melding rockabilly, Latin and punk traditions. After Simonon left the band, Myrick began work on the next Havana 3 am album with Dixon. Dixon, however died of cancer in 1993. Myrick rebuilt Havana 3 am and completed the Texas Glitter and Tombstone Tales album in 1996 with Tom Felicetta and Jamie Chez. Moving towards roots rock, Myrick switched to a stripped down, acoustic approach for his 2001 solo release, Waltz of the Scarecrow King. Reinvent the Gods, featuring a cover of the Rolling Stones' "As Tears Go By," was self-released in 2004. Myrick continues to play solo but also performs as a session and touring guitarist. He has worked with Big Audio Dynamite, Jackson Browne, members of the Eagles, Steve Jones (former guitarist of the Sex Pistols), Wilson Pickett, Queen Ida, Bonnie Raitt, Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson, Stevie Wonder and others. He has also done some work scoring films. Gary Myrick and the Figures reunited in 2010 with their first concert in Hollywood, California at The Roxy on June 22. Myrick played guitar and sang on the 2013 album by Carla Olson, Have Harmony, Will Travel. Myrick contributed "Train Kept A-Rollin'" to the 2021 Renew / BMG album Americana Railroad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium%20%2868Ga%29%20gozetotide

Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide}} Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide or Gallium (68Ga) PSMA-11 sold under the brand name Illuccix among others, is a radiopharmaceutical made of 68Ga conjugated to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting ligand, Glu-Urea-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC, used for imaging prostate cancer by positron emission tomography (PET). The PSMA targeting ligand specifically directs the radiolabeled imaging agent towards the prostate cancerous lesions in men. The most common side effects with gallium (68Ga)-radiolabelled gozetotide are tiredness, nausea (feeling sick), constipation and vomiting. Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2021, and in the European Union in December 2022. It is the first drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a PET imaging agent. Structure Radiopharmaceuticals based on HBED are composed of three components: a chelator that has a HBED structure and two functions, a radiometal coordinated with the chelator, and a binding motif or pharmacophore that is conjugated to the chelator (such as a peptide or antibody). One of the most popular HBED chelators is HBED-CC. This chelator can create stable complexes with trivalent gallium at normal temperatures and it attaches to bioactive molecules through its propionic acid moieties. Medical uses Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. Ga 68 PSMA-11 injections are used for PET imaging of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in males with prostate cancer. It can be given for the patients with suspected metastasis, and the candidates with initial definitive therapy. History In the early 2000s, researchers began exploring the use of PSMA as a target for imaging and therapy. The first PSMA-targeted radiotracer was developed using a different radioactive element, technetium-99m. This radiotracer, called 99mTc-MIP-1404, showed promise in preclinical studies but did not perform well in clinical trials. In 2011, researchers started investigating the use of gallium-68, a different radioactive element, as a more suitable alternative for PSMA-targeted radiotracers. In 2013, the first Ga-PSMA radiotracer was developed by researchers at DKFZ in Germany, and it showed promising results in early clinical studies. Since then, Ga-PSMA has been extensively studied in clinical trials, and it has been found to be a highly effective imaging agent for detecting prostate cancer lesions. It is now widely used in clinical practice, particularly for patients with recurrent prostate cancer and those with high-risk disease. Initially gallium (68Ga) chloride solution injections used for radiolabelling, in 2019 European Pharmacopoeia mentions gallium (68Ga) DOTATOC injection for radiolabelling and PET imaging. Ga 68 PSMA-11 is co-developed by University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Francisco, they conducted phase III clinical trial. In December 2020, the drug was first approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for PET imaging. Mechanism of action Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide binds with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). This binds to cells that express PSMA, including malignant prostate cancer cells. The radioactive isotope of gallium, 68Ga is responsible for emitting β+ radiations and X-rays. This helps in recording images by positron emission tomography (PET) and CT scan. Society and culture Legal status On 13 October 2022, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Locametz, intended for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The applicant for this medicinal product is Novartis Europharm Limited. Locametz was approved for medical use in the European Union in December 2022. Names Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide is the international nonproprietary name (INN). References External links Gallium compounds Radiopharmaceuticals

Cristóvão da Gama

Cristóvão da Gama ( 1516 – 29 August 1542), anglicised as Christopher da Gama, was a Portuguese military commander who led a Portuguese army of 400 musketeers on a crusade in Ethiopia (1541–1543) against the Adal Muslim army of Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi (also known as Ahmad Guray). He, along with the allied Ethiopian army, was victorious against Adal forces in four battles, but he was seriously wounded in his last battle and was captured, tortured, and executed by Imam Ahmad. Richard Burton, in his First Footsteps in East Africa, referred to Gama as "the most chivalrous soldier of a chivalrous age." Early career Cristóvão (or Christopher) da Gama was the son of navigator Vasco da Gama and the younger brother of Estêvão da Gama. He first came to India in 1532 with his brother, returned to Portugal in 1535, then joined Garcia de Noronha in sailing to Diu 6 April 1538. Many times in these travels he demonstrated a quick mind that saved his companions. In recognition of his usefulness, in 1541, his brother Estêvão, then Viceroy of India, gave him command of a ship in the fleet Estêvão led into the Red Sea against the Ottoman naval base at Suez. He was defeated along with his brother in the ensuing battle against the Ottomans. Ethiopian campaign After this crushing defeat at the hands of the Adalites and Ottomans, he returned with his brother back to Massawa on May 22, 1541, to rejoin the ships they had left there. While at Massawa, his brother Estêvão da Gama attempted to salvage something from this expedition by dispatching an expeditionary force under Cristóvão to assist the beleaguered Emperor of Ethiopia, Gelawdewos. Four hundred Portuguese men-at-arms were selected, seventy of whom were also skilled artisans or engineers, and 130 slaves for this expedition, equipped with about a thousand arquebuses, an equal number of pikes and several bombards. João Bermudes, who had represented himself as the Patriarch of Ethiopia to the Portuguese, accompanied this expedition. An account of this campaign in the Ethiopian highlands was later written by Miguel de Castanhoso, who accompanied Gama and was an eye-witness to almost everything he recorded. The men were landed at Massawa and Arqiqo, the next port south of Massawa, and began their trek inland to Debarwa, the capital of the Bahr negus, or Ethiopian viceroy for the northern provinces. The Portuguese reached Debarwa after a march of eleven days on 20 July, to learn that the rainy season (which Castanhoso, as well as the natives, referred to as "winter") made further travel impossible. Cristóvão would not allow his men to pass the months in idleness, employing them in constructing sledges for the bombards and in raiding nearby villages that had accepted Ahmed Gragn's rule. He also learned from the Bahr negus that Queen Seble Wongel was camped nearby on top of a mountain that Ahmed had not been able to reduce by siege. (R.S. Whiteway identifies this mountain with Debre Damo.) With one hundred men, he marched to the mountain, and invited Queen Seble Wongel to join him; she did so, bringing her entourage of thirty men and fifty women, all of whom were received with careful ceremony. Once the rains ended, the Portuguese continued south. After months of being slowed by their equipment, Da Gama decided to leave half of it in an arsenal on Debre Damo. His army passed the Church of St. Romanos around Christmas of 1541, and celebrated Epiphany in the province of Agame (January 1542). Gama's first encounter with the Imam's troops was 2 February 1542 at the Battle of Bacente, which Whiteway located on Amba Senayt in Haramat. The invaders had taken possession of a hill from which they made raids into the countryside. Although Queen Seble Wongel advised Gama to march around this hill, advising him to wait until her son Emperor Gelawdewos could arrive from Shewa and join him, he believed that failing to engage the invaders would make the natives distrust his troops, and that they would then stop bringing food and supplies. Fortunately, the engagement was an unquestioned success, and Gama's men took the hill despite superior enemy numbers, losing only eight men. At the end of February, two Portuguese arrived from a ship anchored at Massawa, escorted by six people native to the area. Gama responded with a detachment of forty men to make contact, obtain supplies, and exchange news. This group failed to reach the ship before it sailed, and the only outcome was that these soldiers and their captain were absent for the next battle, which was against Ahmad Gragn himself. As Queen Seble Wongel had feared, the events at Bacente alerted Ahmad that a hostile army had entered the area, and he marched north to confront it, meeting Gama at Jarte (which Pedro Paez identifies with Sahart, although Whiteway locates it in the Wajirat Mountains). The Imam made the first contact, sending a messenger to Gama to demand that the Portuguese force either leave Ethiopia, join the Imam, or be destroyed. On the Imam's orders, the messenger produced the gift of a monk's habit, an expensive insult to Gama. Gama responded with his own messenger, who delivered "a few lines in Arabic", stating that he had come to Ethiopia "by order of the great Lion of the Sea" and on the "following day he [Ahmad] would see what the Portuguese were worth", and delivered Gama's own insulting gift: a pair of "small tweezers for the eyebrows, and a very large mirror—making him out [to be] a woman." Two battles followed these exchanges at Jarte, the first on 4 April and the next on 16 April. The first battle was a victory for the Portuguese, although Gama lost one of his captains: Ahmad Gragn was wounded, which forced his troops to retire to the far side of the plain. The Portuguese, finding their encampment on the battlefield becoming unbearable, moved across the plain next to the enemy camp, which led to the second battle. This time, the Adal-Ottoman army was even more soundly defeated, and according to Castanhoso, "The victory would have been complete this day had we only [had] a hundred horses to finish it." Ahmad was forced to retreat further south, where with fortune against him, the local population now openly defied him by refusing to provide him supplies or soldiers. Whiteway identifies the Imam's refuge as a village named Wajarat, while J. Spencer Trimingham places it in the Zobil mountains overlooking the Afar Depression. Gama marched after him as far as Lake Ashangi, where on the advice of Queen Seble Wongel, he made camp on a hill in Wofla as the rainy season started. At some point late in the rains, Gama was approached by a Jew (possibly one of the Beta Israel), who told him of a mountain stronghold that Ahmad Gragn's followers controlled weakly (identified by Whiteway as Amba Sel). It was also at this time that Gama was accurately informed about the Emperor Gelawdewos's true strength: the Ethiopian monarch was living as an outlaw in the south, with only sixty to seventy men in his army. However, the mountain was the major barrier between the two allies, and Gama also learned that the garrison had a large number of horses—a resource he had badly needed at the second battle of Jarte. Gama swiftly marched south with about a hundred men, and seized control of the mountain. Leaving thirty men behind to bring the horses, Gama led his victorious men back to Wofla, to find Ahmad Gragn in position to attack that next morning. Having successfully petitioned the governor of Zabid in South Arabia, as well as offering "much money" and submission to the official, Gragn received 2900 musketeers (2000 from Arabia and 900 handpicked Ottomans), many more than Gama had. Despite their bravery, the Portuguese were heavily defeated on 28 August at the Battle of Wofla, with only 170 surviving the assault (counting the thirty men escorting the horses from the Hill of the Jews). Gama, his arm broken from a bullet, was captured that night with fourteen companions by an Adal patrol. A British historian Clements Markham claimed in the 19th century that Gama's capture was due to his refusal to retreat in order to find an attractive lady with whom he had fallen in love, after capturing her at the Battle of the Hill of the Jews. Gama's death and aftermath Cristóvão da Gama was brought to Ahmed Gragn's camp, where the Imam produced the tweezers Gama had given him and began to pluck out his beard. There Gama was tortured in an attempt to force him to convert to Islam. Castanhoso's—and Jerónimo Lobo's account after him—describe Gama's fortitude and death in language worthy of a hagiography, complete with miracles. In the end Ahmad Gragn chopped off Gama's head and tossed it into a nearby spring, whose waters Castanhoso reported gained a reputation for giving "health to the sick". Lobo elaborates upon this story, claiming that upon hearing of this miracle the Imam had a dead dog tossed into the spring and the spring covered with a cairn of stones; Lobo confirms this detail in describing the account of a party sent to retrieve Gama's remains and send them to his nephew, Vasco da Gama Conde da Vidigueira. (Lobo gives the impression that he accompanied this expedition, but a letter of Manuel de Almeida states otherwise.) Certain that the surviving Portuguese were scattered, without their firearms, and alone in a foreign land, Ahmad Gragn concluded that this threat was ended, dismissed all but two hundred of the foreign musketeers, and proceeded to his camp at Derasge on the shores of Lake Tana. However, over 120 men had joined Queen Seble Wongel, who had taken refuge at the Mountain of the Jews. Ten days later her son, Emperor Gelawdewos, arrived and they took measure of their situation. Using the arms stockpiled at Debre Damo, the Portuguese were able to rearm themselves; with the promise of their ability, Gelawdewos was able to raise a new army, which met Ahmad Gragn at Wayna Daga. The Portuguese musketeers aimed their fire only at the Muslim musketeers, who had played a decisive part at Wofla—and at Imam Ahmad himself. While the sources differ on the exact details, most agree that Ahmad Gragn was killed by the men of Cristóvão da Gama to avenge their commander's death.

Passport was Jem's flagship label, eventually growing to form the Passport Records Group, which included the labels PVC Records, Passport Jazz, Audion Records, Import Records, and Visa Records. History Passport Records was founded in 1973 by Jem Records, which had been co-founded in 1971 by Martin L. Scott, Jeff Tenenbaum and Ed Grossi. Passport was initially operated in partnership with Sire Records. The partnership between Jem and Sire ended in 1977, when Sire owner Seymour Stein sold the label to Warner Bros. Records. Larry Fast was the American first artist signed to the label. His records were primarily released under the name of Synergy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism%20of%20desire

Baptism of desire

In Christian theology, baptism of desire (), also called baptism by desire, is a doctrine according to which a person is able to attain the grace of justification through faith, perfect contrition and the desire for baptism, without the water baptism having been received. Denominational positions Roman Catholicism In the Catholic Church, baptism of desire "replace[s] Sacramental Baptism in so far as the communication of grace is concerned, but do[es] not effect incorporation into the Church, as [it] do[es] not bestow the sacramental character by which a person becomes attached formally to the Church". The Catholic Church teaches in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that "baptism is necessary for salvation". It also states the desire for baptism "brings about the fruits of Baptism without being a sacrament". It further states that "[f]or catechumens who die before their Baptism, their explicit desire to receive it, together with repentance for their sins, and charity, assures them the salvation that they were not able to receive through the sacrament". Lastly, it adds: "Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity". Catholic apologist Jimmy Akin points to one canon in the Council of Trent which he claims defines baptism of desire as a dogma: Feeneyism The doctrine of Feeneyism is associated with the position of Leonard Feeney on the doctrine ("outside the Church there is no salvation"). Feeneyism's interpretation of the doctrine is that only Catholics can go to heaven and that only those baptised with water can go to heaven. Feeneyism opposes the doctrines of baptism of desire and baptism of blood as well as the view that non-Catholics can go to heaven. Lutheranism Lutheranism affirms that baptism is ordinarily necessary for salvation. However, citing the teaching of the early Church, Lutherans acknowledge a baptism of desire where a person desire baptism but could not receive it. Dismas, the repentant thief on the cross, is cited as an example of an individual who trusted in Jesus but did not have the opportunity to get baptized. As such, "though God ordinarily ties himself to the means of the sacrament, if one desires baptism but is unable to receive it prior to death, God counts one's desire as sufficient for the grace given."

Daylight saving time in Pakistan

Pakistan has experimented with Daylight Saving Time (DST) a number of times since 2002, shifting local time from UTC+05:00 to UTC+06:00 during various summer periods. In 2002, DST was observed from the first Sunday in April (April 7) at 00:00 to the first Sunday in October (October 6) at 00:00. The government cabinet decided to do this "in order to make maximum use of daylight and to save energy." In 2008, DST began on June 1, and was initially set to run through August 31 to meet the annual shortfall of 4 gigawatts of electricity instead of enforcing daily power cuts in households and factories. The government later extended the end date to October 31, including the holy month of Ramadan (which began in early September). DST was originally meant to end on August 31, 2008 In 2009, DST was observed from April 15 through October 31. See also Pakistan Standard Time Time in Pakistan References Pakistan Time in Pakistan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunsthalle

Kunsthalle

A kunsthalle is a facility that mounts temporary art exhibitions, similar to an art gallery. It is distinct from an art museum by not having a permanent collection. In the German-speaking regions of Europe, Kunsthallen are often operated by a non-profit ("art association" or "art society"), and have associated artists, symposia, studios and workshops. They are sometimes called a Kunsthaus. Origin, spelling and variants The term kunsthalle is a loanword from the German Kunsthalle, a compound noun formed by combining the two nouns Kunst (art) and Halle (hall). Like all nouns in German, the word is written with an initial capital letter. In English, it should be written with a lower-case letter (kunsthalle) unless it is the first word of a sentence or part of a title. The plural form Kunsthallen is usually rendered as kunsthalles. The term is translated as kunsthal in Danish, kunsthal in Dutch, kunstihoone in Estonian, taidehalli in Finnish, kunsthall in Norwegian and konsthall in Swedish.

Photoevaporation denotes the process where energetic radiation ionises gas and causes it to disperse away from the ionising source. This typically refers to an astrophysical context where ultraviolet radiation from hot stars acts on clouds of material such as molecular clouds, protoplanetary disks, or planetary atmospheres. Molecular clouds One of the most obvious manifestations of astrophysical photoevaporation is seen in the eroding structures of molecular clouds that luminous stars are born within. Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGGs) Evaporating Gaseous Globules or EGGs were first discovered in the Eagle Nebula. These small cometary globules are being photoevaporated by the stars in the nearby cluster. EGGs are places of ongoing star-formation. Planetary atmospheres A planet can be stripped of its atmosphere (or parts of the atmosphere) due to high energy photons and other electromagnetic radiation. If a photon interacts with an atmospheric molecule, the molecule is accelerated and its temperature increased. If sufficient energy is provided, the molecule or atom may reach the escape velocity of the planet and "evaporate" into space. The lower the mass number of the gas, the higher the velocity obtained by interaction with a photon. Thus hydrogen is the gas which is most prone to photoevaporation. Photoevaporation is the likely cause of the small planet radius gap. Examples of exoplanets with an evaporating atmosphere are HD 209458 b, HD 189733 b and Gliese 3470 b. Material from a possible evaporating planet around WD J0914+1914 might be responsible for the gaseous disk around this white dwarf. Protoplanetary disks Protoplanetary disks can be dispersed by stellar wind and heating due to incident electromagnetic radiation. The radiation interacts with matter and thus accelerates it outwards. This effect is only noticeable when there is sufficient radiation strength, such as coming from nearby O and B type stars or when the central protostar commences nuclear fusion. The disk is composed of gas and dust. The gas, consisting mostly of light elements such as hydrogen and helium, is mainly affected by the effect, causing the ratio between dust and gas to increase. Radiation from the central star excites particles in the accretion disk. The irradiation of the disk gives rise to a stability length scale known as the gravitational radius (). Outside of the gravitational radius, particles can become sufficiently excited to escape the gravity of the disk, and evaporate. After 106 – 107 years, the viscous accretion rates fall below the photoevaporation rates at . A gap then opens around , the inner disk drains onto the central star, or spreads to and evaporates. An inner hole extending to is produced. Once an inner hole forms, the outer disk is very rapidly cleared. The formula for the gravitational radius of the disk is where is the ratio of specific heats (= 5/3 for a monatomic gas), the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the central star, the mass of the Sun, the mean weight of the gas, Boltzmann constant, is the temperature of the gas and AU the Astronomical Unit. Because of this effect, the presence of massive stars in a star-forming region is thought to have a great effect on planet formation from the disk around a young stellar object, though it is not yet clear if this effect decelerates or accelerates it. Regions containing protoplanetary disks with clear signs of external photoevaporation The most famous region containing photoevaporated protoplanetary disks is the Orion Nebula. They were called bright proplyds and since then the term was used for other regions to describe photoevaporation of protoplanetary disks. They were discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope. There might even be a planetary-mass object in the Orion Nebula that is being photoevaporated by θ 1 Ori C. Since then HST did observe other young star clusters and found bright proplyds in the Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula, Pismis 24 and NGC 1977. After the launch of the Spitzer Space Telescope additional observations revealed dusty cometary tails around young cluster members in NGC 2244, IC 1396 and NGC 2264. These dusty tails are also explained by photoevaporation of the proto-planetary disk. Later similar cometary tails were found with Spitzer in W5. This study concluded that the tails have a likely lifetime of 5 Myrs or less. Additional tails were found with Spitzer in NGC 1977, NGC 6193 and Collinder 69. Other bright proplyd candidates were found in the Carina Nebula with the CTIO 4m and near Sagittarius A* with the VLA. Follow-up observations of a proplyd candidate in the Carina Nebula with Hubble revealed that it is likely an evaporating gaseous globule. Objects in NGC 3603 and later in Cygnus OB2 were proposed as intermediate massive versions of the bright proplyds found in the Orion Nebula. References Astrophysics

American Red Cross Institute for the Blind

Red Cross Institute for the Blind (also known as Evergreen) was established by the American Red Cross in 1917. It was located in Baltimore, Maryland. The institute furnished the connecting link between the military and civil life of the injured men. History The Red Cross Institute for the Blind was organized at the request of the Surgeon General of the United States to cooperate with the authorities at Hospital No. 7 and the Federal Board for Vocational Education in order to do anything that would help make the life of the soldiers and sailors better and more effective while at Evergreen and also after their discharge. The institute was housed in a building upon property adjacent to the Garrett estate. A library or club room was created soon after the opening of the institute where the men could read or be read to and get away from the routine of the military and school life. In order to provide the men with raised print copies of then current magazines, volunteer Braille copyists were trained and organized. Volunteer assistant teachers were provided training by the institution. Another need was for adequate provision for the housing of the relatives of the blind men when they come to Baltimore to visit their recuperating family members. Houses were furnished and equipped for this purpose by the institute at 915 N. Charles Street, for any member of a soldier's or sailor's family without any expense to the family member. The property upon which the headquarters of the institute is situated adjoins "Evergreen" (General Hospital N. 7, as the American St. Dunstan's is officially known) — where war-blinded American soldiers, sailors and marines were trained under military supervision. Lieut.-Colonel James Bordley, Director of the work for the blind of the Army and Navy, was also Director of the Red Cross Institute for the Blind. The institute organized a Woman's Auxiliary with Mrs. Charles E. Rieman of Baltimore as chairman, to coordinate volunteer service. The first efforts of the ladies was in connection with the school and social life of the blind men at Evergreen. The institute also created an Industrial Survey Commission with Charles F. F. Campbell as chairman, which was actively engaged in collecting information relative to the employment of the blind in factories. The Director of Vocational Education at Evergreen was Supt. O. H. Burritt of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind. Notable people The Committee of Direction of the Red Cross Institute for the Blind was composed of five members, each appointed by the General Manager of the American Red Cross. H. R. Fardwell, Director of Military Relief of the American Red Cross, Washington, D. C, was chairman of the committee. Dr. James Bordley, the Baltimore member of the committee, was, during the war, a Lieut. Colonel on the staff of the Surgeon General, and was directed to prepare and present a plan for the re-education of the blind soldiers. He was the Surgeon General's representative at General Hospital No. 7, to which the blind soldiers were sent, and Director of the Red Cross Institute for the Blind, which was opened in March, 1918, to supplement the work of the army. He continued in this capacity until the military authorities withdrew and the American Red Cross took over the management of the school in May, 1919, at which time, Lieut. Colonel Bordley returned to civilian life. Dr. George E. de Schweinitz, of Philadelphia, a professor of ophthalmology, University of Pennsylvania, was also a Lieut. Colonel on the staff of the Surgeon General's office. In June, 1919, de Schweinitz was asked to serve as a member of the Committee on Direction. de Schweinitz's long service on the board of managers of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind gave him a first hand knowledge of educational matters connected with the blind. Walter G. Holmes, of New York City, was the manager of the Matilda Zeigler Magazine for the Blind, the publication which was sent free of expense to blind readers throughout the United States and Canada since 1907 as a result of the generosity of Electa Matilda Ziegler. Holmes, through his editorship of this publication, had been in touch with a larger number of blind individuals than any other worker for the blind in the United States. This experience gave him an intimate acquaintance with all matters pertaining to the blind. M. C. Migel, of New York, was known to workers for the blind throughout the English speaking world, because of his generous assistance in financing the Uniform Type Commission for the Blind which solved the "Type Question" in the United States. He was Chairman of the New York State Commission for the Blind. L. W. Wallace, the Director of the institute, was ex-officio a member of the committee. For eleven years, Wallace was a member of the Faculty of Purdue University. For a number of years, he was head of the Department of Railway and Industrial Management. For some time, Wallace was Assistant General Manager of the Diamond Chain and Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, which position he left to come to the Red Cross Institute for the Blind.

Anastacio Martínez

Anastacio Euclides Martínez (born November 3, 1978) is a professional baseball pitcher. He played part of the 2004 season in Major League Baseball for the Boston Red Sox, and most recently played for the Calgary Vipers. He is listed with a height of 6'2" and a weight of 180 lbs., and he bats and throws right-handed. He graduated from Liceo Santa Cruz College in the Dominican Republic. Career Boston Red Sox Martínez was acquired by the Boston Red Sox as a non-drafted free agent in . The Red Sox assigned Martínez to the Gulf Coast Red Sox, their Rookie-level minor league affiliate, where in he made ten starts, posting a 2–3 record with an ERA of 3.18. The club promoted him to the Single-A Lowell Spinners for the season, where he went 0–3 with a 3.68 ERA before being promoted to the Single-A Augusta GreenJackets. While Martínez initially struggled at Augusta; over the next two seasons (1999–2000) he went 11–10 with an ERA of 5.96. Martínez improved however, and at the end of the 2000 season narrowly missed pitching a no-hitter, giving up a one-out single in the 9th inning against the Asheville Tourists. Martínez's performance came just two days after teammate Eric Glaser threw a no-hitter against the Hagerstown Suns. In the Red Sox promoted Martínez to the High-A Sarasota Red Sox where he went 9–12 with an ERA of 3.35. Following the 2001 season the Red Sox placed Martínez on their 40-man roster and promoted him to the Double-A Trenton Thunder. Following spring training Martínez spent the entirety of the season with Trenton, going 5–12 with a 5.31 ERA. One sportswriter, who considered Martínez a top prospect, said that Martínez showed "flashes of brilliance but also considerable inconsistency at Trenton." Martínez began what would be prove to be an unusual season with the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox, but the Red Sox soon moved him down to the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, intending to convert him into a closer. In 34 relief appearances with Portland Martínez posted a 3–1 record with 14 saves and a 2.25 ERA. On July 22, 2003, the Red Sox traded Martínez and Brandon Lyon to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Scott Sauerbeck and Mike González. The Pirates assigned Martínez to the Double-A Altoona Curve, where he made three relief appearances before, in a strange twist, the Pirates sent him and Lyon right back to Boston on August 1, along with Jeff Suppan, while Boston returned Gonzalez while adding Freddy Sanchez. The Pirates had raised concerns over the state of Lyon's elbow (Lyon would miss the entire 2004 season); the new trade effectively canceled the old one. Martínez finished out the season at Pawtucket. Martínez was a strong candidate to make the major-league team in but was optioned to Pawtucket in late March. The Red Sox called him up on May 22 to replace the injured Scott Williamson, and Martínez made his major-league debut with Boston on May 22, 2004, in relief of another Martínez - Pedro. After a strong start, going 2–0 with a 1.12 appearances, Martínez was lit up in interleague play and the Red Sox optioned him back to Pawtucket in June when outfielder Trot Nixon came off the disabled list. Boston manager Terry Francona was optimistic about Martínez's future: "I think he'll go back to Triple A and be a better pitcher. He'll be back here." Indeed, the Red Sox recalled Martínez on July 2 as Williamson returned to the disabled list. His return was, however, short lived: entering the 12th inning of a 3–3 tie with the Atlanta Braves, Martínez surrendered a game-winning three-run home run to Nick Green; the next day the Red Sox sent him back to Pawtucket and called up Jimmy Anderson. During his two stints with Boston, he made 11 relief appearances, going 2–1 with an 8.44 ERA and a save. At Pawtucket, in 38 games, he had a 3.74 ERA. Martínez spent the entire season in Pawtucket, working as both a starter and reliever. He posted a 3–4 record with a 5.98 ERA and one save. At the end of the year the Red Sox granted him free agency. Washington Nationals On February 6, , Washington Nationals signed Martínez to a minor league contract. Following minor-league spring training the Nationals assigned Martínez to the Double-A Harrisburg Senators, but he made just two appearances before being promoted to the Triple-A New Orleans Zephyrs, where he went 5–11 on the year with a 4.48 ERA as a starter. The Nationals signed Martínez to a new contract for 2007 but initially sent him to Harrisburg. After six appearances the Nationals moved Martínez up to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, where he made nine appearances, half of them starts, before being traded to the Detroit Tigers organization for a player to be named later. The Tigers assigned Martínez to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. Detroit Tigers Martínez made six starts but also worked out of the bullpen at Toledo during the season, going 4–4 with a 4.24 ERA. The Tigers signed Martínez to a new contract in and he returned to Toledo. The Tigers moved Martínez to the Double-A Erie SeaWolves in June to make room for Aquilino López, but recalled Martínez to Toledo in July to replace Preston Larrison. He was released by the Tigers on August 30, 2008. Martínez pitched for the Estrellas de Oriente in the Dominican Winter League but did not meet with success, going 0–1 with an ERA of 7.45 in seven appearances. After spending 2009 out of baseball, Martínez played for the Calgary Vipers of the independent Golden Baseball League in 2010.

Gary Crusader

The Gary Crusader is a newspaper based in Gary, Indiana, United States, which has been featured in national newspapers for its focus on the African-American community. It was founded in 1961 and became part of the Crusader Newspaper Group founded by Balm L. Leavell and Joseph H. Jefferson. The Crusader Newspaper Group, founded in 1940, consists of The Chicago Crusader and, since 1961, the Gary Crusader. The newspaper is currently run by Balm L. Leavell's wife, Dorothy Leavell, chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association. The Crusader was established to shed light on the civil rights movement, African-American culture, and news about the Gary African-American community. The Editor of the Gary Crusader is Sharon Fountain. The current publisher for the Gary Crusader, Dorothy Leavell, is stationed in Chicago, Illinois, in their larger sister organization, the Chicago Crusader. This paper has a twice-weekly print release, while also maintaining a daily article update on their website. They have a print circulation of just over fifty-six thousand copies. The Gary Crusader is the sixth largest newspaper in the state, while also being the largest ethnic-based newspaper in Indiana. Located just over 25 miles from downtown Chicago, it is well known in the Northwest Indiana region. The Gary Crusader was founded in 1961. The publication was created as a way to give a voice to the African-American population in the Northwest Region of Indiana. In the very turbulent year of 1968 for the African-American community, with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy, founder Balm L. Leavell died. His wife, Dorothy Leavell assumed the role of Publisher. Dorothy Leavell's influence and awards When Dorothy assumed the position of publisher, she brought with her a breadth of knowledge regarding newspaper publication and innovations in the workplace. Dorothy is the former president and current chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association. In December 2015 publisher Dorothy R. Leavell was inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame. The Leavells mentioned in books In Dharathula "Dolly" H. Millender's 2003 book, Gary's Central Business Community, founder Balm L. Leavell was mentioned as being present when then-Gary Mayor Visclosky signed a proclamation acknowledging "Negro History Week". Balm Leavell is shown to be present at the signing due to being the publisher of the Gary Crusader, along with "Jesse Mitchell (4th District City Councilwoman) Dolly Millender (chair of observance), Cleo Wesson (5th District City Councilman) and H. Theo Tatum (principal of Roosevelt High School and author of the first brief history of the 'Negro'". The Gary Crusader also contributed photographs to this book. The Encyclopedia of African American Business: K-Z featured Dorothy Leavell, citing that "When Dorothy R. Leavell was elected chair of Amalgamated Publishers Incorporated in April 2002, she became the first woman to head the oldest African-American-owned advertising placement firm that represents more than 200 black newspapers in at least seventy-five markets across the United States and is considered a preeminent source on reaching and motivating African American consumers." The Gary Crusader featured in publications The Chicago Tribune covered the death of Chuck Deggans, a beloved radio host and columnist who wrote for both the Post and for the Gary Crusader. The article titled "Columnist, radio host, Deggans dead at 82" acknowledges Deggans' work for the Post-Tribune as well as for the Gary Crusader:On December 28, 1997, the Chicago Tribune sought the commentary of The Gary Crusaders publisher, Dorothy Leavell, when the Chicago Defender, an African-American newspaper, closed its doors. Dorothy Leavell is quoted as saying: "The two questions you hear most often are, 'Is God dead?' and 'Is there a need for a black press?'" The Chicago Tribune discussed the aftermath of Michael Jackson's visit to the city of Gary in 2003. The pop star was initially in works of creating a possible creative arts center and amusement park in tribute to the icon. Many members of the community believed the negotiations were simply a publicity stunt to bring attention to Gary's past as well as aide in the public opinion of Jackson as he faced child-molestation charges.
