all allied naval, land and air forces in the theatre". This appointment effectively meant that MacArthur had control of the Australian forces. At this time, Port Stephens, including Tomaree Head, was developed as a World War Two military base by a joint Australian Army-United States Navy defence venture. Port Stephens was a vital part of the Australian coastal defence system during the Second World War, and become the focus of first Australian-United States combined training operations for the South-West Pacific sector. This included Camp Gan Gan (located around 4 km from Nelson Bay), Fort Tomaree (and the associated camps at Tomaree Head) and HMAS Assault on St Nazaire's Road, also known as the Joint Overseas Operational Training School (JOOTS), which became Nelson's Bay Migrant Hostel in the post-war period. Plans for two camps on Tomaree Head, to service the Fort Tomaree defence installations as part of the military occupation at Port Stephens, were prepared in 1941 by the New South Wales Government Architect / Department of Public Works. It is likely that these buildings were constructed by the New South Wales Department of Public Works on behalf of the Commonwealth Government, which was standard practice at this time due to labour shortages caused by the war. These 1941 plans of Tomaree Head show that most of the buildings dating from this time on the Tomaree Lodge site have been retained in-situ. The surf battery within DADHC-owned land at Tomaree Head, consisting of two Quick Firing 3 pounder Hoskiss Mark 1 guns, was intended for close defence of the entrance to Port Stephens and the approaches to Shoal Bay: "After investigation, it was later decided to install land based torpedo tubes on the north west side of Tomaree Head. A special launching platform was constructed on the shoreline some 50m to the west of No. 2 Gun (3 pounder) of Surf Section. Support facilities including accommodation were provided for the naval personnel." Two years after the end of the Second World War, in 1947, the Commonwealth Defence Department transferred the former military camp at Tomaree Head to the Department of Public Health, for use as a convalescent hospital for patients from State hospitals. An undated contour plan of the Tomaree Convalescent Home (-50) shows two groups of buildings on Tomaree Head at this time. The site of Tomaree Lodge is referred to on this plan as Lower Tomaree.

was disrupted between Sacramento and Klamath Falls, Oregon. Amtrak arranged alternative transportation for travelers between those two cities. Large portions of Highway 299 were closed as a result of the fire. Many sections of the highway's route through Redding were closed, including the North Market Street Bridge which connects downtown Redding to the Benton Tract neighborhood. Highway 273 was closed in many areas. Resources Access to Keswick Dam was restricted and the surrounding areas were evacuated as a result of the fire. Cultural Access to the remains of the historic ghost town of Gas Point was restricted due to the fire. A 2008 fire had destroyed the historic town. The historic town of French Gulch was evacuated and closed. This was the second time the community had been evacuated due to a fire, the prior evacuation taking place in August 2004, in which 103 structures burned in the community. The Shasta State Historic Park was also affected, where the 1920s schoolhouse was destroyed and other buildings were damaged. Artifacts had been removed before the fire. Air quality The fire affected air quality throughout Northern California and the Central Valley down to Bakersfield, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. Smoke reached as far north as Seattle, Washington, and Boise, Idaho. Fatalities Two firefighters were killed in the Carr Fire. One was a contract firefighter, Donald Ray Smith, who was driving a bulldozer when he died. The second was Redding-based fire inspector Jeremy Stoke. On July 28, a great-grandmother and her two great-grandchildren were found dead, as they did not have a car and were unable to evacuate. A sixth fatality was reported on July 29. An evacuation order was issued to the victim, but they did not evacuate. The victim was recovering from heart surgery, which possibly prevented him from leaving. On August 4, a PG&E employee was killed in a vehicle incident. On August 9, a Cal Fire heavy equipment mechanic was killed in a traffic incident.

"Clout Cobain" (stylized CLOUT COBAIN | CLOUT CO13A1N) is a song recorded by American rapper Denzel Curry released on July 12, 2018 as the third single from his third studio album, Ta13oo. Written by Curry, along with Julian Gramm and Mike Hector, while produced by the latter two, lyrically, the song is about his struggles with fame. It also makes several references to Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of American rock band, Nirvana, who committed suicide at the age of 27. The Zev Deans-directed official music video was released on Curry's Vevo channel the same day as the single, and has since been viewed more than 100 million times, becoming his most watched video. Music video The music video, released at the same time as the song, features Curry as a clown controlled by his master. The clown later commits suicide, causing the audience to boo the performance. The video received acclaim from critics. The video for Curry's follow up single, "Vengeance", can be seen as a sequel to this, while the video for Curry's other single, "Black Balloons", can be seen as a prequel to it.

since the Manchester Arena attack. Work on the album had begun back in 2016, but Grande temporarily halted recording because she wanted to cope with the bombing's aftermath first: "it would be nice to really hold my loved ones close for a little while, stay home for a little bit." She revealed the tracklist for Sweetener on July 2018; the album contains "Breathin" as its seventh track. She teased the song's title during the music video for "No Tears Left to Cry", Sweetener lead single released a month prior. During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Grande described "Breathin" as follows: Recording and composition Grande wrote "Breathin" with Savan Kotecha, Peter Svensson, and its producer Ilya Salmanzadeh. Her vocals were recorded by Sam Holland and Noah Passovoy at MXM Studios in Los Angeles, California, and Wolf Cousins Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Cory Bice and Jeremy Lertola provided recording engineer assistance. Serban Ghenea, assisted by John Hanes, mixed the song at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Randy Merrill then mastered the song at Sterling Sound in New York City, New York. "Breathin" is a dance-pop song backed by synthesizers and keytars. It is 3 minutes and 18 seconds long. The song features an upbeat rhythm, incorporating disco and EDM elements into its production. It depicts Grande in the middle of a panic attack, and it features shifts in dynamics or volume to evoke the feeling of anxiety. The song opens with a voice recording played backwards—when reversed, it reads "Tonight's your special night, do something magical." The lyrics center around Grande's experiences with anxiety after going through the Manchester Arena attack. She describes the feeling in various ways: "Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's falling / How do I know if this shit's fabricated?" As seen in one verse, Grande looks up to find "the whole room spinning" due to feeling drained of energy. In the hook, which she performs with airy vocals, she sings "just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin, repeatedly reminding herself to stay grounded in reality. Some music journalists drew connections between the lyrical themes and how Grande's mental well-being had been impacted by her break-up with Miller and his subsequent death. Critical reception "Breathin" received critical acclaim from music critics. Jillian Mapes from Pitchfork said that Grande turned "the melancholy of Drake into a meditation on anxiety with 'Breathin. |

Ernst Dostal (born 1951 or 1952 – June 26, 1973 in Altlengbach, Lower Austria) was one of Austria's most violent criminals, and the one sought after by the largest ever investigation triggered by the Second Austrian Republic. Murder of Richard Dvorak On Wednesday, June 13, 1973, a gendarme patrol discovered on the roadside of the Süd Autobahn near a bridge in the Guntramsdorf district a wide crater with bone splinters and body parts. The authorities' first suspicions was directed towards an active gang of burglars, which opened safes with explosives and in the last two weeks had three successful slams in Lower Austria. The investigators assumed that perhaps one of the gang members had suffered an accident with the explosives or had been killed in this way by his accomplices. A second theory was that someone had planned an attack on a bus transport full of Jewish emigrants to the transit camp Schloss Schönau, but had blown himself up by improper handling. The police suspected several times that the perpetrator was Emmanuel K., who had been released just under four months earlier from prison and was considered to be untraceable. Finally on June 15, the deceased was identified. It was 30-year-old family man Richard Dvorak, a contract agent working for Vienna City Hall. His mother provided the crucial clues that led to his identification. Ernst Dostal, who was considered a close friend of Dvorak, was first questioned about the homicide on June 18 and stated that he had not seen Dvorak for days. Rampage in Rennweg barracks On Friday, June 22, Dostal was again invited for questioning on Richard Dvorak in the Rennweg barracks in Vienna. Because he was not considered a suspect, he was not searched. When Dostal testified that he had been to a certain inn during the night, but the officials pointed out that it was closed at the time, he suddenly reached into jacket's pockets and began firing at the officers from two hidden pistols. The officers Ottokar Pücher (38), Matthias Horvath (42) and Harald Syrinek (48) were hit and severely injured; Pücher and Syrinek were in critical condition for days after. In an attempt to escape from the building, he wounded 57-year-old civil servant Leopold Ullrich with a shot to the stomach before he finally escaped by jumping from a window on the first floor. He carjacked a passing car and continued his escape to |
thickness of varve shales (some 60 m) in the Seaham district, but the accuracy of this measurement was questioned by Osborne (1925) because it disregarded the effects of contemporaneous erosion, non-annual depositional rhythms, and weathering-induced variability in prominence of laminations. The exceptional preservation of the Seaham varves (considering their age) prompted the Swedish scientist Carl Caldenius to investigate their potential use in geochronology (a section was actually measured for this purpose at Paterson nearby. However, subsequent workers (e.g. Crowell and Frakes. 1971) have been more cautious about use of the term varves in reference to the Seaham strata, as the rhythmic bedding exhibited has not been proven to follow an annual cycle. The quarry itself could be detrimentally affected by indiscriminate and quite unnecessary use of geological hammers. Heritage listing Seaham Quarry is significant to the history of Australian geology and its associations with the famous Australian geologist, Professor Edgeworth David who first recognised the glacigene origin of the Carboniferous sediments in the Seaham area in 1914. Seaham Quarry is of international scientific importance because of the perfection of preservation of its varied shales and the associated contorted beds exposed in them. The shale deposits are estimated by scientists to be more than 300 million years old. The quarry contains, in its shale deposits, evidence of the glacial origin of rocks in the Hunter River Valley. Seaham Quarry was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.

shingle beach from where produce was transshipped to waiting vessels. Created in 1870 from sand dredged from the harbour, the raised terrace area - later known as Brighton Lawn Reserve, named by Governor Bourke in 1840 to conjure up visions of Brighton Beach in Britain, was the site of the first Customs House. The Mt Pleasant and Mt Keira tram lines ran around its periphery. In the 1880s twelve Norfolk Island pines were planted in an arc on the Reserve and five seats were installed under these trees. Two of the original trees remain. Following the removal of the tramways in the 1930s, the area has been heavily landscaped with the addition of sealed parking areas, concrete paths, kiosk and toilet block. The foreshore of the elevated Lawn is protected by gabions and these have failed and now need restoration. Apart from the original convict Quay wall little remains of this part of the 19th century harbour. Wollongong Head Lighthouse The Wollongong Head lighthouse is a reinforced concrete tower 9 feet 10 inches in diameter standing 83 feet high from top of foundation to top of ventilator. The external surface of the tower is decorated with a 16 feet blind arch colonnade below a prominent cornice and, above this for 50 feet the tower has 1 foot wide vertical, evenly-spaced flutings, above which is a panelled parapet, balcony and lantern. Four slit windows to provide light to the internal stairwell are spaced helically around the tower and fit within the flutes. A doorway at ground level gives access to a cantilevered internal spiral staircase to the trapdoor in the lantern room floor. The lantern room is surrounded by a balcony that has a gun-metal railing, with a zigzag detail. Flagstaff Hill Fort In 1881 a three-gun battery was established on the northern side of Flagstaff Hill facing the Harbour approaches. The three guns were surplus 1861 vintage 68-pounder muzzle loaders. A 12-pounder gun that was placed adjacent to the 3 guns was used as the 1 o'clock gun. In 1983, these guns were restored and placed in their present position on reconstructed carriages. An interpretive sign is located near the three guns.

oldest and more powerful institution, made sure that no relics were shown in the open air at Our Lady's. It has been suggested that the ambulatory gallery in the choir of Our Lady's was used for this purpose. Whichever way they showed their relics, it was almost certainly less effective than the spectacular open-air displays at St Servatius'. Over the centuries several disputes arose from this, some were fought at the highest level at the Papal Tribunal. The differences culminated in 1495, when the Chapter of Saint Servatius commissioned a copy of the Patriarchal Cross of Our Lady's. For the benefit of the pilgrims two hospitiums were built on the south-west corner of Vrijthof. The Hospitium of Saint Servatius is first mentioned in the 11th century. Next to it stood the Hospitium of Saint James, which was specifically built for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella. Due to dwindling numbers of pilgrims, both institutions took on other tasks in the 17th century. They were demolished in the early 19th century. Middle Ages: Apogee of the Maastricht pilgrimage The Dutch word heiligdomsvaart (German: Heiligtumsfahrt) means "journey to the holy relics". It is probably derived from the older German terms Römerfahrt and Aachener Fahrt, the medieval journeys or pilgrimages to Rome and Aachen. The Maastricht heiligdomsvaart was long held simultaneously with Aachen and Kornelimünster Abbey. Together they offered some of the best relics to be seen in Europe. A papal bull of 1249 is the oldest document referring to the Maastricht pilgrimage around the traditional dates in mid-July, although the name heyldomsvaert is not mentioned until 1440. The term used in 1391 was heiligdomskermis ("fair of the holy relics"). The popularity of the Maastricht-Aachen-Kornelimünster pilgrimage reached its zenith in the 15th century when up to 140,000 pilgrims visited these towns in mid-July. The septennial pilgrimage in medieval Maastricht was centred around the Church of Saint Servatius, although Our Lady's and other churches undoubtedly benefitted with their indoors activities. The traditional date was one week before and one week after 16 July, the feast of the holy bishops Monulph and Gondulph. It is not known when this date became the focal point of the Maastricht pilgrimage but in 1289 auxiliary bishop Bonaventura of Liège offered an indulgence to pilgrims visiting the grave of Saint Servatius around this time of the year. The year in which a septennial pilgrimage took place was |
found dead in a psychiatric clinic near Toulouse. His death was declared a suicide. Investigation On 15 April, the public prosecutor of Toulouse, Michel Bréard, opened a judicial investigation for "pimping in an organized gang, aggravated rape, and complicity, acts of torture and barbarism" against "Patrice Alègre and all others". Judge Perriquet was assigned to the case. Jean Volff, attorney general, failed to notify the chancellery of the opening of the investigation which subsequently lead to him being removed from his position by Dominique Preben. Volff was later implicated to have taken part in the S&M evenings by witnesses. Bourragué was accused by witnesses of being a part of the sex trafficking network. He admitted to having had an aperitif at home with Alègre in 1991 or 1992 but denied all other accusations. On 18 May, Baudis stated that he was accused of being part of the sex trafficking network. He denied the claims and said that they were false accusations brought forward by the pornography lobby, who was trying to stop him as he lobbied for having pornographic films banned from television. André Mayrac, the owner of several libertine clubs, requested to be heard by the courts and indicated that he has photos of the famous "dungeon". Claims by Charles Louis-Roche and Diane Roche Charles Louis-Roche and Diane Roche, children of Pierre Roche, who had been the presiding president of the justice chamber at Nimes Court of Appeal during the Alègre affair, claimed that he had been murdered by a sex trafficking network in which he implicated himself. Both of them were charged with "aggravated defamation and invasion of privacy". They then went on create a website to denounce Pierre Roche, as a "corrupt man, unworthy, violent and perverse husband and father", "sickening orgy participant, consumer to the chain of prostitutes of all kinds, who had made their lives a daily hell." Charles and Diane claimed that their father confided to them that he had taken part in the evenings at which ritual sacrifices and tortures took place. They claimed that he had gathered incriminating evidence on people within the network. Charles and Diane claim that later he completely lost his mind and burned tons of documents that were in his possession. Deaths related to the case Cover-Up Accusations The Alègre affair is considered to be politically butchered. Some murders were initially declared suicides before Alègre's arrest. Several witnesses |

The Exponent Telegram is a daily newspaper serving Clarksburg, West Virginia and the surrounding community. It has a daily print circulation of about 14,000, and a Sunday circulation of about 18,000. History The Telegram was founded in 1861 as a weekly and went daily in 1902. The Exponent was founded as the News in 1910 . It changed its name to The Exponent in 1920. The two papers came under common ownership and became daily morning and afternoon newspapers, respectively (with a combined Sunday edition), in 1927, Virgil Highland, one of the owners of The Telegram, was instrumental in the merger of the two under the Clarksburg Publishing Co., also formed in 1927. The Telegram began as a Unionist Republican weekly The National Telegraph in 1861, founded by Robert Northcutt, but temporarily suspended after Northcott enlisted with the Union and was subsequently captured and held in Libby prison. After the end of the Civil War, Northcott continued publishing, and was described by Rowell's directory as one of the more influential and reliable West Virginia weeklies, "zealously support[ing] the Grant administration" and protective tariffs. National Telegraph, as a Unionist and Republican vehicle during the Civil War. By 1891, the Wheeling Intelligencer noted the paper had recently invested in new machinery, becoming one of the "largest and best printed" papers in West Virginia. In 1891, a group of Clarksburg men purchased the Telegram from Northcott, and for over a decade helped grow the paper into one of the most prominent in central West Virginia. By 1902, the weekly Telegram's success induced its owners to purchase the local Clarksburg Daily Post, which became the Clarksburg Daily Telegram. The Exponent launched in 1910. It advertised itself as receiving "five times more" telegraph news than competing papers. In 1927 the papers merged, publishing the Democratic Clarksburg Exponent in the mornings, the Clarksburg Telegram in the evenings, and a non-partisan paper, the Exponent Telegram, on Sundays, J. Cecil Jarvis, president of the company that publishes the Exponent Telegram died in 2007 as the result of a bicycle accident. In 2012, Brian Jarvis purchased The Exponent Telegram, retaining then current Telegram publisher Andy Kniceley. Under Jarvis's ownership, the paper grew the digital audience to more than 300,000 unique users a month in 2016, and expanding the newsroom staff by five positions. It was later purchased by NCWV Media. Resources List of newspapers in West Virginia References Newspapers |

the winner of the coxed four and eventually award gold medal to the Swiss team, with the Italian team including Del Giudice getting silver. With the eight, he won gold at those championships. In 1912, the Italian selection in the men's eight was decided between the two Venetian clubs – Bucintoro and Querini. There was a collision and a scuffle broke out between the rowers. Both clubs were banned from competitions for one year by the Italian Rowing Federation and Italy's Olympic appearance in the eight was cancelled. After WWI, Del Giudice competed at the 1921 European Rowing Championships in Amsterdam alongside his younger brother Curzio Del Giudice in the coxed pair but they finished outside the medals. Scipione Del Giudice then retired from competitive rowing and trained a junior eight at his club. He was later a rowing coach in Greece. Del Giudice died in 1950.

sale, before the school grounds were acquired by Wollongong City Council in 1978. Along with land previously bought from the school in 1976, the purchase allowed for the extension of the Wollongong Botanic Garden. A memorandum of understanding was finalised in 1954 with Wollongong City Council for approximately 32 acres of land extending from Murphys Avenue to Northfields Avenue for the purposes of a Botanic Garden. It would take many years to see Hoskins' dream become a reality: the Botanic Gardens did not open to the public on a regular basis until 1971. On 10 December 1959 R. H. Anderson, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney visited the Keiraville site and declared it good and recommended that expert advice be sought to prepare a design for a Botanic Garden. Ultimately the expert chosen was Professor Peter Spooner of the University of New South Wales. Spooner came up with an idea of a geographically based garden layout; which was unusual. Plants were grouped according to their country of origin rather than the more usual botanic family groups (Australasia; Indonesia and Malaysia; Pacific Islands; Europe; India; Africa; China & Korea; The Americas). The first planting was an azalea (Rhododendron indicum cv. and R.kurume cv's), established in 1964 by original gardener, Jack Woodgate. In 1966, Council purchased Cratloe and in 1968 built the Sir Joseph Banks glasshouse. The Wollongong Botanic Garden was officially opened in September 1970, with 6000 people visiting in the first year. Later when the Gardens were expanded and Council had hired Deane Miller as Parks & Gardens Controller and Director of Wollongong Botanic Gardens, it was determined that the geographical based garden concept was not working well and that a habitat planting system would better suit the expanded site. It was possible to develop microclimates in the garden - from the exposed dryland of the highest hill, to stone filled gullies and open grassland. In 1976 a financial crisis forced SCEGGS to sell nearly 15.5 acres to Wollongong City Council and in 1978, the remaining grounds, including Gleniffer Brae passed into Council's possession via a notice of resumption. As a result, Council owned all the land that now comprises Gleniffer Brae, the University Soccer Fields (Kooloonbong Oval) and the Botanic Garden by 1978. Since 1980, part of the manor house, school buildings and auditorium have been used as the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music and function centre under lease |

The 2018 Toronto shooting, known locally as the Danforth shooting, was a mass shooting that occurred on Danforth Avenue in the Greektown neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the night of July 22, 2018. Faisal Hussain killed two people and wounded thirteen using a Smith & Wesson M&P .40-calibre handgun. He died by suicide after a shootout with Toronto Police Service (TPS) officers. Despite a year long investigation, authorities were unable to determine a motive for the shooting. Incident Around 10:00 p.m. EDT on July 22, 2018, Faisal Hussain walked along Toronto's busy Danforth Avenue in the Greektown area of the city, randomly shooting pedestrians before opening fire on crowded restaurants. The incident began around Danforth and Logan avenues near the restaurant named Christina's. Witnesses described 10 to 15 blasts similar to firecrackers, while others reported hearing gunshots and seeing a man holding a gun. Further along the Danforth at Chester Avenue, witnesses said they saw a man shooting from a sidewalk into another restaurant named Demetre's. The shooter continued to walk westbound on Danforth Avenue towards Hampton Avenue, where witnesses said the shooter crossed the street from the north side to the south side and fired into the 7Numbers restaurant near Bowden Street where one victim was shot. The shooter chose not to shoot certain people he encountered, telling one man, "Don't worry, I'm not going to shoot you." TPS officers responded to calls from witnesses and located the gunman on Bowden Street and initiated a shootout with the suspect. The gunman ran back to Danforth Avenue where he was found dead. At the corner of Danforth and Logan avenues, police cordoned off an area from bystanders and detonated an unidentified package for undisclosed reasons. Victims 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis were killed in the attack. Thirteen others suffered gunshot wounds, ranging in age from 17 to 59. Toronto Paramedic Services transported eight victims to trauma centres – including four people to St. Michael's Hospital, three to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and one to The Hospital for Sick Children. St. Michael's reported it was treating five patients. Three of them underwent immediate lifesaving surgery after the shooting and the others were in serious but stable condition. Two gunshot victims were treated at the nearby Michael Garron Hospital and were in stable condition. Five other patients were treated for issues related to the shooting, but were not shot. |

habitats that contribute to its aesthetic value. A prominent headland in the region, Bass Point contains elements of bush, beach and ocean that create a visually spectacular environment of both land and sea. This key coastal landscape is also regarded as highly significant for its biodiversity and pristine condition. The relatively undisturbed environment supports a variety of common, rare and endangered fauna and flora species - including littoral rainforest and habitats for the endangered grey nurse shark and sea grasses. The maritime landscape around Bass Point Reserve also contains a number of shipwrecks and archaeological evidence, dating from 1879. The most significant and well known, the Cities Service Boston, was wrecked in May 1943 and a memorial was erected at Boston Point to commemorate the Australian lives lost in the rescue. Bass Point Reserve was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 18 January 2013 having satisfied the following criteria. The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales. Bass Point Reserve is of state heritage significance for both its Aboriginal and European values and its pre- and post-contact history. Archaeological evidence indicates that Aboriginal people occupied Bass Point Reserve for some 20,000 years prior to the arrival of European settlers. The traditional custodians of the land, these people lived in a hunter/gatherer lifestyle, governed by the sustainable use of the environment and the resources available. Bass Point has been the focus of attention from archaeologists since the late 1960s as an area that has potential to reveal significant information about pre-contact history in NSW. Twelve midden sites and one camping/meeting place have been identified and archaeological excavations have revealed the environmental change and evolution of the area over time and the development of techniques used by the Aboriginal people to hunt and gather available resources. Alongside Burrill Lake rock shelter (which is of similar antiquity), Bass Point is considered to be one of the most significant Aboriginal archaeological sites to be excavated in NSW. Official European settlement in the Illawarra region and on Bass Point Reserve, started from 1817 with the division of land and the establishment of agriculture and industry. The development of basalt mining on the point saw the growth of shipping in the region but, due to the hazardous conditions of the new transport route, a number of ships were wrecked off the |

As of 29 March 2019, Lithuania (24 January 2018), Moldova (20 January 2019), and North Macedonia have also adopted the IHRA definition. In November 2019, Greek Prime Minister announced that Greece was set to adopt the IHRA definition. On 5 December 2019, France's National Assembly called on the government to adopt the IHRA definition. According to Alan Shatter, Ireland has neither adopted nor formally endorsed the definition and on 9 November 2021, the Minister for Children, Equality and Integration, Roderic O'Gorman said that while Ireland was "supportive of the definition", it "did not consider the illustrative examples that followed to be an integral part of the definition". Cyprus was the seventeenth country to adopt the IHRA definition (December 2019) as a useful guidance tool in education and training. Italy adopted the IHRA definition in January 2020, and appointed Professor Milena Santerini as national coordinator against antisemitism. Serbia and Argentina adopted the IHRA definition in June 2020, and Kosovo and Albania in October 2020 (Albanian Member of Parliament Taulant Balla proposed a measure to adopt the definition, and the measure was accepted unanimously by the Parliament of Albania, with Albania becoming the first Muslim country to formally adopt the definition). In addition, at a sub-national or institutional level, the US state of South Carolina, the United States Department of Education, the city of Bal Harbour in Florida, the Greek Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs, and Western Washington University have adopted it. Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs wrote an op-ed in Newsweek in July 2020 calling for social media companies to fully adopt the working definition, and the following month 120 organizations, led by StopAntisemitism.org, which is funded by philanthropist Adam Milstein, sent a letter to Facebook's Board of Directors, calling upon them to fully adopt the IHRA definition as the "cornerstone of Facebook's hate speech policy regarding antisemitism." According to Neve Gordon, Facebook responded by saying its definition "draws on the spirit—and the text—of the IHRA" but demonstrated reluctance to adopt the examples that relate to Israel, and critics of the definition also lobbied the company not to adopt it. According to the American Jewish Committee, as at August, 2021, a total of 32 countries have adopted the IHRA definition. According to the Jerusalem Post, as at 26 September 2021, |
Elena Näsänen (born 1968) is a Finnish visual artist who works with film and video installations. She studied in the Department of Time and Space-based Art at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, receiving a master's degree in 1998. She has also studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and in the first edition of the Feature Expanded training programme. In 2004–2007 she chaired the Artists' Association of Finland, being the first woman and the first video artist to hold that position. In 2000–2003 she chaired the interdisciplinary Artists’ Association MUU, founded in 1987 to represent new and experimental forms of art. In 2012–2016 she served as the film commissioner for media art at the Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture AVEK. Starting from 2018 she is working on a three-year grant from the Kone Foundation on a project to explore the effects of climate change using different formats of moving image. In 2021 Elena Näsänen was awarded a five-year Artist Professor grant for media art by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Näsänen has participated in the work of international multidisciplinary artist groups in artists’ residencies. She is among the founders of the co-operative film and media art production house Kenno Filmi based in Helsinki, Finland. Elana Näsänen lives and works in Helsinki, Finland and is married to the Finnish media artist Pekka Sassi. Art work Elena Näsänen works with video installations and elements of narrative cinema. She works with familiar elements of narrative film, deconstructing and reconstructing scenes to tell a new kind of story where the action often takes place outside the space or time depicted and is left for the viewer to fill in. Sound is always an essential component in her works. Works involving narrative storytelling typically feature female characters often at a crossroads, faced with the challenge to choose, or reaching for a goal that seems far away. For example, in "Before Rain" (1998) short sequences in ‘film noir’ style are used to create suspense that stays unresolved, in "Night" (2007) a female character follows an urge to leave the house at night to follow a path deep into a forest, and in "Wasteland" (2009) a group of women are on their way to an unknown task and destiny. In "Drive" (2003) action movie elements accompany a young woman speeding through a snowy landscape. "Drive" has been seen to highlight the surreal in |
Wohlfahrtiimonas is a genus of bacteria from the class Gammaproteobacteria. It was first described by Tóth et al. in 2008, and is named after its first described vector: the larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica, a species of parasitic fly. Other species of flies, such as Lucilia sericata, Chrysomya megacephala and Musca domestica have also been linked closely to the spread of Wohlfahrtiimonas, as human wounds that have been infected with fly larvae are breeding grounds for the bacteria. Other potential sources of transmission include soil and chicken meat. References Further reading Gammaproteobacteria Bacteria genera |

Her paternal grandfather, Giovanni Agnelli, was the founder of Fiat S.p.A. Her maternal grandfather was Carlo Bourbon del Monte, Prince of San Faustino. She was the sister of Cristiana Brandolini d'Adda, Susanna Agnelli, Maria Sole Agnelli, Gianni Agnelli, Giorgio Agnelli, and Umberto Agnelli. In 1935, when Agnelli was fifteen years old, her father died in an airplane crash. Her mother died in a car accident in 1945. In November 1968, Agnellli went to the break-away state of Biafra in Nigeria to give money to secessionist leader C. Odumegwu Ojukwu on behalf of her family. Marriages Agnelli married Prince Tassilo zu Fürstenberg in 1938 when she was 18 years old. The couple had three children, Prince Egon von Fürstenberg, Princess Ira von Fürstenberg, and Prince Sebastien von Fürstenberg. During her marriage, Agnelli had an affair with Italian actor Giovanni Nuvoletti, Count Nuvoletti Perdomini, whom she had met in Sestriere when she was twelve years old. She ran off with Nuvoletti and the two were eventually arrested, as adultery was illegal in Italy at the time. She had to sign a legal document renouncing her relationship with Nuvoletti in return for an annuity. She continued on with the affair, which angered her brother Gianni Agnelli. Once divorce was legalized in Italy, Agnelli married Nuvoletti in 1974 in a civil ceremony and moved into the Villa Papadopoli. After the death of her first husband, she and Nuvoletti had a Catholic wedding ceremony at her villa's chapel in 1989. Later life and death Agnelli published several cook books. Nuvoletti died in 2008. Agnelli died on 19 July 2016 at the hospital dell'Angelo di Mestre. She had a Catholic funeral at the Church of Santa Maria del Carmello in Mestre. Her inheritance was worth €100 million. References 1920 births 2016 deaths Clara Bourbon del Monte family Clara German princesses Italian socialites Princesses by marriage Nobility from Turin |

both stone and slab. The main facade consists of a two-storied section flanked on either side by two single-storied wings, each of three rooms. The impression is one of grandeur, so it is surprising to find that the central two-storied section consists of but two main rooms downstairs and one large and two smaller bedrooms upstairs. Apart from differences in proportion between the central section and wings, there are indications that the two sections are not contemporaneous. On the rear wall, a mark in the cement render occurs at the junction of the two sections and whereas the central section is built on a plinth, the walls of the wings at the rear are in one plane to ground level Possibly the earliest part of the homestead itself is the north-wing at the rear, a building with a Dutch gable (jerkin roofed). Part of this seven-roomed building is finished in a way which suggests that it could well have been living quarters, perhaps the earliest homestead. Later it was probably used as storage space, augmented by the pine-lined loft which runs the full length of the building. There is also a loft above half of the parallel (southern) kitchen wing which could well be a later building, contemporaneous perhaps with the central two-storied section. The upper storey has five symmetrically disposed windows (to the east/front) which are shown with shutters in early oil paintings at Carwoola. The front door which consists of two vertical panels and sidelights opens into a hall with an elegant staircase and fine straight balusters. To the right is the large sitting room with an exquisitely restrained white marble fireplace, said to be the signed work of the 19th century neoclassical sculptor, Canova. To the left of the hall is the dining room, lit, as is the sitting room, by a pair of tall four-paned sash windows. The woodwork for the six-panelled doors, windows and original mantelpieces is (red) cedar. Certain alterations have been made to the mantelpieces: one was removed to accommodate the Canova mantelpiece and one removed to make way for a wooden one in the taste of the 1920s. However, there are numerous typically Georgian mantelpieces throughout the homestead. This suggests that the addition of the single storied wings might have taken place within a short period of time after the two storied section. Throughout the house is fine cedar joinery, six panelled |

The 2019 Bangsamoro autonomy plebiscite was a two-part plebiscite held in Mindanao, Philippines, that ratified the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) and replaced the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) with the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), as well as the scope of the said region. Under the organic law, the government would have to hold the plebiscite not more than 150 days from the signing of the BOL into law (July 26, 2018) but not earlier than 90 days from the law's signing. The first part of the plebiscite was held on January 21, 2019, where voters from the ARMM voted in regards of the BOL's ratification and residents of Cotabato City and Isabela City voted for or against their cities' inclusion to the then-proposed region. The second part was held on February 6 to potentially expand the BARMM; with voters from six municipalities in Lanao del Norte and 67 barangays in Cotabato province voting for or against their localities' inclusion to the BARMM. On January 25, 2019, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) announced that the BOL was "deemed ratified" after results in the first part of the plebiscite showed majority support for the law's ratification. The election body also officially announced that majority of voters in Cotabato City voted in favor of joining the then-proposed autonomous region while voters of Isabela City rejected their inclusion. During the February 6 referendum, however, 63 of the 67 Cotabato barangays, and 9 of 22 towns in Lanao del Norte saw voters in favor of joining the then-proposed region. Despite the fact that the six municipalities in Lanao del Norte which petitioned to join were among the 9 voting in favor of inclusion, a majority of support was required from not only from voters in the individual municipality, but also from voters throughout the rest of the province as well. As a result, no municipality in Lanao del Norte joined the autonomous region. All of the barangays in Cotabato province which saw voters vote in favor of joining, however, joined the region as well. Scope Bangsamoro 'core' territory Voters in localities referred to as the core territory of the proposed Bangsamoro Autonomous Region were eligible to participate in the plebiscite.

an oral estradiol tablet sublingually, complete dissolution of the tablet occurs within a few minutes and circulating levels of estradiol begin to rise within 5 minutes. Maximal levels of estradiol occur after 30 to 60 minutes of administration. After this, estradiol levels drop steeply within 4 hours, and this is followed by a more gradual decline in levels of estradiol and a return to baseline concentrations by 24 hours. The rapid rise and steep fall of estradiol levels with sublingual administration of estradiol is analogous to the case of intravenous injection and intranasal administration of the hormone. Sublingual administration of medications that are subject to a high first-pass effect with oral administration can result in improved bioavailability because the first pass through the intestines and liver is bypassed. As a result, sublingual estradiol has been found to result in estradiol levels and a ratio of estradiol to estrone that are substantially higher than oral estradiol. Maximal circulating levels of estradiol are as much as 10-fold higher with sublingual administration than with oral administration, and the absolute bioavailability of estradiol is approximately 5-fold higher. On the other hand, levels of estradiol fall rapidly with sublingual administration, whereas they remain elevated for a prolonged period of time with oral administration. This is due to the large circulating pool of hormonally inert estrogen conjugates with long half-lives that is reversibly generated with oral estradiol during first-pass metabolism, which serves as a metabolism-resistant and long-lasting reservoir for continuous reconversion back into estradiol. It is also responsible for the differences in ratios between sublingual estradiol and oral estradiol in terms of maximal estradiol levels (10:1) achieved and absolute bioavailability (5:1). A study in marmoset monkeys found that the bioavailability of sublingual estradiol was 10% of that of estradiol administered by intramuscular injection. After a dose of sublingual estradiol, levels of estrone start to slowly but progressively rise within 10 minutes. Estrone levels surpass estradiol levels at around 2 hours post-dose and reach a maximum at about 4 hours. It has been speculated that the high delayed levels of estrone with sublingual estradiol may be due to the rich lymphatic drainage in the neck region, which may result in estradiol being taken up by the reticuloendothelial system and then metabolized into estrone. Sublingual administration of a single 0.25 mg tablet of micronized estradiol has been found to produce peak levels of 300 pg/mL estradiol and 60 |

equality; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Holy See, and Poland. Response to ICTY and MICT verdicts The 2016 election saw the return to parliament of Radical Party leader Vojislav Šešelj following an absence of thirteen years, most of which he had spent on trial for war crimes at the ICTY. During the assembly campaign, the ICTY unexpectedly acquitted Šešelj of all charges against him. Žigmanov described this as an "unpleasant surprise" for Vojvodinian Croats, saying, "We know what we went through and that is why Šešelj's acquittal is so difficult for us." The Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT), a successor body to the ICTY, subsequently overturned part of Šešelj's acquittal in April 2018 and found him criminally responsible for the persecution and deportation of Vojvodinian Croats by virtue of an inflammatory speech he had delivered in Hrtkovci on 6 May 1992, in which he called for Croats to leave the area. The Radical Party leader was sentenced to ten years in prison, although he was not required to serve any time as he had already spent more than eleven years in custody during the trial period. Žigmanov noted that this was the first time that an international court had recognized crimes committed against Croats in Vojvodina during the Yugoslav Wars and added, "we could say that a little justice has been served." In the aftermath of the conviction, Šešelj stated that he was "proud" of his actions in 1992 and was "preparing intensively to commit again my war crimes, [starting] with Tomislav Žigmanov and Nenad Čanak." Žigmanov described these comments as "unacceptable" and reminiscent of the climate of Serbian politics in the 1990s. The Croatian government also condemned Šešelj's statements and urged Serbia to take legal action against him. In the absence of an official response to Šešelj's statements by the Serbian government, Žigmanov withdrew from a scheduled appearance with other parliamentarians in welcoming Gordan Jandroković, the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament, to the National Assembly of Serbia. Jandroković referenced this situation during his visit, saying, "statements that could be heard in recent days, which have negative connotations for the Croat minority in Serbia, are unacceptable to us," though he added that he was confident that all issues pertaining to the rights of Croats in Serbia could be resolved successfully.

Tonaloy (Irish derived place name, Tóin na Láí meaning 'The Low-Lying Meadow of the Spades'.) is a townland in the civil parish of Kildallan, barony of Tullyhunco, County Cavan, Ireland. Etymology The townland name derives from the marshy ground along the Laheen river at the southern boundary. An 1853 Report from the Board of Public Works, Ireland states- The improvement of the Laheen River has been completed up to the limit of the district at Longfield Bridge, and one stone accommodation bridge, and two wooden passes erected across the cut; a branch stream from Tonaloy Marsh has also been deepened, and a gullet built across it on the public road at Drumcrow. Geography Tonaloy is bounded on the north by Killygorman townland, on the west by Cornahaia and Derrinlester townlands, on the south by Laheen townland and on the east by Drumcrow North, Drumlarah and Drummany townlands. Its chief geographical features are Tonaloy Hill which reaches to 313 feet, the Laheen river, small streams, a quarry, spring wells and forestry plantations. Tonaloy is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 326 acres. History From medieval times up to the early 1600s, the land belonged to the McKiernan Clan. The 1609 Plantation of Ulster Map depicts the townland as Tonsloy. A grant of 1610 spells the name as Tonyley. A lease of 1611 spells the name as Toneloy. The 1652 Commonwealth Survey spells it as Tonyloy. In the Plantation of Ulster King James VI and I by grant dated 27 June 1610, granted the Manor of Keylagh, which included one poll in Tonyley, to John Achmootie, a Scottish Groom of the Bedchamber. His brother Alexander Achmootie was granted the neighbouring Manor of Dromheada. On 16 August 1610 John Aghmootie sold his lands in Tullyhunco to James Craig. On 1 May 1611 James Craig leased, inter alia, 1 poll of Toneloy to Briene bane McKernan. The said Brian Bán Mág Tighearnán was chief of the McKiernan clan from 1588 until his death on 4 September 1622. On 29 July 1611 Arthur Chichester, 1st Baron Chichester and others reported that John Auchmothy and Alexander Auchmothye have not appeared at the lands awarded to them.

The B&B Carousell is a historic carousel at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York City. It was built by Coney Island-based manufacturer William F. Mangels 1906–1909, with wooden horses carved by Marcus Illions. The carousel has been relocated and refurbished several times over its history. The B&B Carousell has been located in Luna Park since 2013. The "Carousell" in the attraction's name is derived from the way Mangels's brochures spelled the word, while the "B&B" refers to two former owners. Charles Carmel crafted replacement horses for the B&B Carousell in 1927, and August Wolfinger painted murals on the carousel's rounding boards in the 1940s. It is the last operating carousel in Coney Island, and in 2016, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Description The carousel consists of fifty horses and two chariots. There are 18 "sections" of horses connected to spokes that revolve around the center of the carousel. Sixteen of the sections each contain three horses located side by side. Thirty-six of the horses, within twelve of the eighteen sections, can move up and down. These horses are connected to brass poles with spiral-groove designs, which in turn are connected to the cranking rods at the top of each section, which rotate when the carousel is in motion. Fourteen of the horses, as well as both chariots, do not move. Twelve of the stationary horses are spread across four sections. The other two stationary horses are located side by side with each of the chariots, which take up the space normally occupied by two horses. The stationary horses are also connected to poles, which are connected to stationary rods at the top of each section. The original horses were created by carousel-horse carver Marcus Illions, but most of them were replaced by carvings from Charles Carmel in 1927. The horses and chariots are installed on a rotating wooden platform, with its inner and outer edges painted red. The sizes of the horses vary: the largest horses are located on the outside, while the smallest horses are located on the inside. Each of the horses is designed with different motifs and colors, and appear in "a variety of dramatic poses". The pole connected to the lead horse contains a plaque stating: "Abraham Lincoln Centennial Horse. Riders Not Permitted. Built by MC Illions. 1909." To celebrate Abraham Lincoln's 100th birthday in 1908, Illions had carved four horses |

see the site conserved. On a broader scale, persons and groups, like the National Trust, interested in preserving the heritage of convict institutions and other sites would have concerns for the conservation of this site. The association of the site with the first Town Hall and School of Arts would also be considered an important association for Port Macquarie Hastings Council and the local community as a whole. The archaeological remains of the assistant superintendent's quarters and free overseer's cottages contribute to our understanding of the administration of the penal establishment (1821-1830) and of the later town (1831 onwards). The living space indicated on historical maps has been almost doubled by the complex sequence of buildings revealed by the archaeological evidence. The artifacts have revealed the living standards of the government occupants in the 1820s, followed by a downturn in standards in the 1840s -1870s, reflecting the economic stagnation of the early town. Finally the artifacts reveal the upturn in affluence of the town from the 1880s onwards, associated with the School of Arts, the centre of town social life in the 1880s and then the Town Hall from the 1890s. Port Macquarie is rare for its continuing association with the housing and labour of convict specials until 1847, for which the former overseers cottages still performed an administrative and accommodation role. Timbers from the earliest construction of slab buildings in Port Macquarie, dating from 1821 to 1823, recovered from the timber lined wells, are a very rare and early survival of organic materials and traditional building materials in New South Wales. The historical and archaeological evidence reveals the principal characteristics of building technology used in the Penal Settlement at Port Macquarie. The predominant characteristics used at Port Macquarie may be compared and contrasted with the practices used at other establishments. The evidence also reveals the spacious nature of accommodation for the Free Overseers and other government officials, which again may be compared with other similar institutions, The artifact evidence reveals a modest but comfortable standard of living, which may be compared with evidence from other similar sites. The Overseers' Cottages Remains was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 13 August 2010 having satisfied the following criteria. The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales. Port Macquarie was established as a penal settlement for secondary |

(the former reaching over 600 as of early 2022). According to IJV, 32 faculty associations and academic unions in Canada have taken positions against it. Following its participation in the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism in October 2021, the Canadian government pledged to "continue to enhance the adoption and implementation of the IHRA working definition of antisemitism". Subsequently, according to IJV and Middle East Monitor, in November 2021, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), representing 72,000 academic faculty and staff at some 125 universities and colleges, passed a motion opposing the adoption of the IHRA definition by Canadian academic institutions. Legal In March 2017, human rights lawyer Hugh Tomlinson QC, who had been asked to give an opinion on the definition by Free Speech on Israel, Independent Jewish Voices, Jews for Justice for Palestinians and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, criticised the IHRA definition as "unclear and confusing", saying it did not have "the clarity which would be required" from a legal definition of antisemitism." He addressed concerns that the definition conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel and could be misused to curtail campaigning on behalf of Palestinians. He stated: He presented his legal opinion on the new working definition at the House of Lords. In May 2017, former Court of Appeal judge Stephen Sedley wrote an opinion piece in the London Review of Books arguing: "Shorn of philosophical and political refinements, anti-Semitism is hostility towards Jews as Jews. Where it manifests itself in discriminatory acts or inflammatory speech it is generally illegal, lying beyond the bounds of freedom of speech and of action. By contrast, criticism (and equally defence) of Israel or of Zionism is not only generally lawful: it is affirmatively protected by law. Endeavours to conflate the two by characterising everything other than anodyne criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic are not new. What is new is the adoption by the UK government (and the Labour Party) of a definition of anti-Semitism which endorses the conflation." In July 2018, Sedley wrote a letter to The Guardian'' saying: "...Sir William Macpherson did not advise that everything perceived as racist was ipso facto racist. He advised that reported incidents that were perceived by the victim as racist should be recorded and investigated as such. His purpose was to reverse the dismissive culture that characterised the reporting and policing of racial incidents. To derive from this fallacy |

Emperor. However, nothing could be done: the date of execution was set to be on November 27, 1867. The execution Avinain was the only one to repulse with violence the Abbé Crozes, the chaplain of the convict depot at the La Roquette Prisons. Avinain said to him: "You are wasting your time, I do not believe in your fuss". On November 28, 1867, the executioner was Jean-François Heidenreich, and the execution took place at the roundabout of Roquette, between the convict deposit and women's prison. The crowd that came to watch Avinain's execution would not see much, as there was too much fog. The assembly of the guillotine was done by the light of a battery of torches. Meanwhile, Mr. Claude, the police chief, came to wake up Avinain. He put on his clothes and emptied the glass of wine handed to him by the prison's chaplain. After twenty days of resistance to the clergyman, Avinain finally confessed. He thanked Mr. Claude for his consideration, saying: "The world treated me too badly for me to regret leaving him. I am a man and will die a man". This did not prevent him from struggling with Heindenreich by insulting him, but was quickly calmed down. Avinain was treated to his exit. To the soldiers who made the hedge, he shouted: "Farewell, children of the fatherland!" And on the platform of the guillotine, facing a crowd he could not see, he said the words: "Gentlemen, never confess! Never admit!". Description "He was no longer young, but he seemed solidly built. The lips clear, the nose pointed, the face glabrous, the bare forehead, a few tufts of gray hair at the temples, he would not have seemed distinct without his false eye deep in the orbit under thick black eyebrows". Posterity The last sentence of Avinain, "Never admit!" has remained famous. In Guillaume Apollinaire's erotic novel Les Onze Mille Verges, a verse reads as follows: The famous lawyer René Floriot said: "Do not ever admit it" is an adverse legal advice, but still excellent in love.

on Route 24 behind the lines. Colonel Brubaker's command post was farther down Route 24 at the village of Putchaetful (). Daylight probes of the Zebra patrol base and sharp patrol skirmishes close to the lines of the 38th Infantry were forerunners of attacks by one division of the PVA 15th Army and two divisions of the 12th. In the 12th Army's attack, launched about dusk, the press of 35th Division forces along the 38th Infantry - Task Force Zebra boundary forced the Ivanhoe Security Force and adjacent company of ROK Rangers back against Company F, 23rd Infantry, before defensive fires smothered the assault. On the 12th's east wing, the 92nd Regiment, 31st Division, attacking the Zebra patrol base expelled and disorganized the ROK 3rd Battalion, 36th Regiment. ROK soldiers streamed through the main Zebra line until midnight, most of them down the northwest valley defended by the 3rd Platoon of Company C, 72nd Tank Battalion. French troops at Han'gye collected the disordered groups as they continued down Route 24 and assembled them for reorganization and screening for enemy infiltration. Shortly after midnight, fifty or sixty PVA leading a column of the 92nd Regiment in pursuit of the ROK charged through the opening in the northernmost of two wire aprons strung across the valley. Forced off the road by fire from the tankers, the PVA deployed to the left and right, exploding mines and setting off trip flares. The larger body of PVA to the rear deployed under the light of the flares, and successive lines of skirmishers attempted to break the wire and reach the tanks. The 3rd Platoon, reinforced by the 2nd Platoon, defended against the PVA attacks while artillery fire walked up the valley above the wire. The PVA gave up the effort shortly before dawn, with the PVA dead of about four hundred and fifty. Concentrating on Company E on Hill 755 at the center of the patrol base, a force from the PVA 45th Division, 15th Army, though delayed and hurt while breaching minefields and wire entanglements, drove off the company with the second wave of its assault. About 02:30, as the attack spread to Company F on the left flank of the split position, Colonel Coughlin ordered the patrol base force to withdraw behind the 3rd Battalion.

The Police Battalion 306 (Polizeibattalion 306) was a formation of the Order Police (uniformed police) during the Nazi era. During the Soviet-German war of 1941–45, it was deployed in German-occupied areas of the Soviet Union, as part of Nazi Germany's security forces tasked with "bandit-fighting". Alongside other SS and police units, it participated in the Holocaust and was responsible for large-scale crimes against humanity targeting civilian populations. Background and formation The German Order Police was a key instrument of the security apparatus of Nazi Germany. In the prewar period, Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, and Kurt Daluege, chief of the Order Police, cooperated in transforming the police force of the Weimar Republic into militarised formations ready to serve the regime's aims of conquest and racial annihilation. The police units participated in the annexation of Austria and the occupation of Czechoslovakia. Police troops were first formed into battalion-sized formations for the invasion of Poland, where they were deployed for security and policing purposes, also taking part in executions and mass deportations. Twenty-three Order Police battalions were slated to take part in the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa. Two battalions were assigned to support the Einsatzgruppen, the mobile death squads of the SS, and the Organisation Todt, the military construction group. The goals of the police battalions were to secure the rear by eliminating the remnants of the enemy forces, guarding the prisoners of war, and protecting the lines of communications and captured industrial facilities. Their instructions also included, as Daluege stated, the "combat of criminal elements, above all political elements". Comprising about 550 men, the battalion was raised from recruits mobilised from the 1905–1915 year groups. They were led by career police professionals, steeped in the ideology of Nazism, driven by anti-semitism and anti-Bolshevism. Operational history During 1941, Police Battalion 306 was stationed in Lublin, occupied Poland, where its duties included shooting Soviet POWs who were identified as Red Army political officers (Commissars) and Jews. The battalion shot thousands of prisoners. For example, between September 21 and 28, the unit killed over 6,000 people in Stalag 359B. In October 1941, a junior officer, Lieutenant refused to carry out an order to shoot over 700 prisoners on legal and ethical grounds. He was discharged and eventually sentenced under the Nazi law of "undermining of military morale". The battalion departed Lublin on 18 February 1942. In the summer |
