Early Church of Jerusalem
|
The Early Church of Jerusalem is considered to be the first community of early Christianity. It was formed in Jerusalem after the crucifixion of Jesus. It proclaimed to Jews and non-Jews the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the forgiveness of sins and Jesus' commandments to prepare for his return (parousia) and the associated end of the world.
Sources
There is little concrete evidence for the beginnings of the early Church of Jerusalem. Sources include the statements in Paul's letter to the Galatians, inferences from the synoptic gospels and, above all, statements from Luke's Acts of the Apostles. These writings were written between 62 and around 100 AD. We can go further back in time with doctrinal traditions quoted by Paul of Tarsus in his letters. The oldest Passion account integrated into the Gospel of Mark (Mk 14–15) was probably also written by early Christians in Jerusalem.
Luke described the early church as a largely harmoniously managed unit (Acts 4) of the "apostolic age" (around 30 to 70) in order to emphasize it as a model for all later Christian communities. Historical criticism has called this image into question in many respects. The older Pauline and Markan tradition confirms the Acts of the Apostles in the basic statements of the Christian faith, but also supplements and corrects them in important details.
None of the four canonical gospels originate from the early church. However, they do allow us to draw conclusions about their particularities when we compare their information on the preaching of Jesus with that of the Acts of the Apostles. Non-canonical Christian writings such as the Didache, a kind of catechism by Jewish Christians who were theologically and ethically close to the early church, also provide indirect information on Jerusalem forms of worship and rules of ministry. Important details of their later history also come from extra-biblical sources such as the Testimonium Flavianum (around 90) by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and from notes by Hegesippus (around 180), quoted by the first church historian Eusebius of Caesarea.
Chronology
The chronological key dates provide an overview of the first events and evolution of the early church.
Origins
Jesus' followers from Galilee, who had followed him to Jerusalem, probably dispersed after his arrest (Mk 14:50). Most of the disciples returned to their home villages after his burial at the latest, as his execution on the cross also seemed to have refuted his preaching of the imminent kingdom of God (Lk 24:21).
After they had come to believe in the resurrection of Jesus in Galilee, a group of disciples led by Peter returned to Jerusalem, which happened without attracting attention due to the constant arrival of pilgrims in the city. Small house churches without a comprehensive organization probably emerged at around the same time, scattered all over Palestine. They proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah of Israel and all nations. What motivated the followers of Jesus to do this is historically obscure, but is connected to their resurrection experiences.
According to Luke's account in Acts 2, the early church came into being through a miracle, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. For the early Christians, this fulfilled the promise of the Spirit that the Jewish prophet Joel 3 had promised for the end times. For with Jesus' resurrection, the end times promised by Israel's prophets began for them. They therefore proclaimed the miracle of Pentecost as an anticipation of the coming of the kingdom of God, which overcomes all language barriers and allows all nationalities to join in the praise of God due to the forgiveness of sins obtained through Jesus (Dan 7:14). Accordingly, the author of Acts understood the early church as an eschatological community of salvation, in which the understanding between nations is already a reality and points to the promised peace between nations (Isa 2:2ff and Mic 4:1-5).
Members and organization
The early church essentially consisted of "disciples" - men and women - whom Jesus of Nazareth had already called to be his followers in Galilee and who had accompanied him on his way to Jerusalem. After the disciples proclaimed Jesus' resurrection, they were initially joined by Jews from very different backgrounds, many of them probably " devout" with a strong expectation of the end times. They were also joined by Pharisees, who brought with them their intensive study of the Hebrew Bible and their focus on God in everyday life. Zealots, who joined the early church, conveyed their commitment to the poor and disadvantaged. When (Acts 6:7) mentions that Jewish priests also "became obedient to the faith", they may have been Essenes living in Jerusalem. Ludger Schenke believes that parallels in self-image and practice between Qumran and the early church can be traced back to converted Essenes.There were also many Greek-speaking Jews living in Jerusalem who had come from the Diaspora and for whom a more conservative orientation and a very positive attitude toward the temple can be assumed. If some were disappointed with the temple cult as they experienced it there, they may have joined the early church and introduced the temple criticism that later characterized the Jerusalem "Hellenists".
Twelve of the male followers called by Jesus are highlighted by name in the Gospels as the first called and a reflection of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Judas Iscariot, who belonged to this circle, is said to have taken his own life after betraying Jesus to the high council; according to Acts 1:21f, Matthias took his place. Schenke assumes that the Twelve (under Peter's leadership) led the Jerusalem church as a college. However, this college only existed for a short time, as Paul did not meet it again when he visited Jerusalem. The restoration of the Twelve Tribes of Israel had programmatic significance in Jerusalem in particular. The early dogmatization of the Twelve in all the Gospels also shows that the early church saw itself as the end-time forerunner of the entire people of God, chosen by the Messiah Jesus Christ, who was glorified by God. Their mission to Israel therefore had priority for them.
According to the New Testament, Jesus showed himself to his disciples as the Risen One and called them to mission: this established their authority as apostles. As Simon Peter experienced the first appearance of the Risen Lord, he was confirmed in his leadership position, which he had already held in the circle of disciples during Jesus' lifetime. Schenke refers to the tradition passage Lk 22:31-32 and assumes that the group of disciples was in a serious crisis (apparently after Jesus' death on the cross), and Peter called the discouraged together and strengthened them. Anyone who had an apparition of the Risen One after Jesus' death and had been commissioned by him for mission was considered an apostle. This circle went beyond the Twelve: only Luke identified it with the leaders and founders of the early church. It is uncertain until when the circle of twelve was in charge. In his letter to the Galatians (written 50–57), Paul only mentions the "three pillars" James, Simon Peter and John (Gal 2:9).
According to the list of witnesses of the early church (1 Cor 15:3-8 ), James, a brother of Jesus, had received his own vision of the risen Christ. He had not been a follower of Jesus during his lifetime, but became the leader of the early church after Easter. He represented the group of "Judaizers", who demanded that all newly baptized Gentile Christians observe important Torah commandments, possibly also circumcision, i.e. conversion to Judaism. This is why Paul named him over Peter, who usually comes first in all lists of apostles, as the main partner in his negotiations on the Gentile mission. His companion Barnabas, a Levite from Cyprus, played an important role in this. Due to his diaspora background, he was able to mediate between Greek-speaking and Aramaic-speaking early Christians.
The Acts of the Apostles reports the election of seven deacons to care for the poor (Acts 6). Schenke assumes that these were charismatic missionaries who addressed the Greek-speaking Jews in Jerusalem. As the Greek speaking part of the early church of Jerusalem became organizationally independent, they became its governing body; however, the Twelve continued to lead the church as a whole, so that according to Schenke there was no competition. The Jewish priests who had joined the early church continued to perform their duties at the temple, and Jewish scribes who joined the early church worked there as teachers (rabbis). The early church had no need for its own ministerial structure because it was convinced that the end of the world was imminent. For this reason, no successors were envisaged for the seven or the twelve.
Prophets were probably also an essential element of the early church, and like their colleagues in Corinth, they received direct revelations from God, spoke in "tongues" and had various "charisms" (gifts of grace) to share (1 Cor 12:12ff).
The number of members can only be estimated. According to Acts 1:13-15, there were initially only around 120 "brothers", whereas Acts 2:41 already mentions 3,000 first baptized after Peter's first sermon, 4:4 soon after 5,000: however, these figures appear to be far inflated in view of the meetings in the Jerusalem temple tolerated by the Sanhedrin. The Roman authorities would not have simply allowed a large messianic group in Jerusalem.
Theology and worship
The ideal image of the early church is primarily determined by the description in Acts 2:37-47: The early Christian missionary preaching, which is entirely focused on the proclamation of Jesus' resurrection and his exaltation as "Kyrios", is followed here by the conversion and baptism of new disciples. This meant forgiveness of sin and thus acceptance into the end-time community of salvation. This meant salvation from the expected final judgment and reception of the Holy Spirit, who enabled them to keep Jesus' commandments and spread his "teaching".
According to Luke (Acts 2, 42–26), the following criteria united the early Christians into a community:
They adhered to the teaching of the apostles, i.e. the belief in the resurrection of Jesus proclaimed to them.
... and fellowship: the early Christians met together regularly.
... and the breaking of bread: They celebrated the breaking of bread as a continuation of Jesus' meal fellowship and/or in remembrance of the last meal of their Lord.
... and the prayers: This probably included the Lord's Prayer taught by Jesus himself.
... and many miracles and signs also took place through the apostles: they continued the healing mission they had received as followers of Jesus (Mt 10) within the early church by caring for the sick.
And all who believed were in the same place and had everything in common. Luke emphasized the community of goods as an essential characteristic of the early church, which, as a result of the outpouring of the Spirit, also established the holiness of the church as "Ecclesia" (called out ones).
They sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to everyone, each as much as they needed: providing for the needy Christians from the community property was a task of the "deacons" who were later elected.
Day after day, they remained in the temple with one accord ...: The Jerusalem central sanctuary also remained the Christians' place of assembly, so that they initially observed its cultic customs and were accepted as part of Judaism."
... broke bread in their homes ...
... and feasted together in joy and purity of heart. They praised God and found favor with all the people: this also highlights the harmony between the early Christians and the Jewish community. The praise of God united them.
Fixed liturgical structures or uniformity were not yet to be expected at the gatherings in the houses. It can be assumed that someone presided over the meal and opened it by breaking and sharing the bread. This is also indicated by the fixed term "breaking of bread" for the meal celebration. A reminder that some early Christians abstained from wine may have been preserved in Mk 14:25. The gatherings anticipated the imminent end times, which explains the great joy of the participants (Acts 2:46). It can be assumed that the scriptures were read out at the meetings and interpreted with a view to their own everyday lives and the significance of Jesus Christ (Christology). In this respect, the gatherings were places where early Christian traditions could develop. The communal prayer of supplication was considered to be particularly effective (cf. Mt 18:19-20) and is likely to have played an important role in the gatherings. The Lord's Prayer is the only early Christian prayer form that has been passed down. The early Christian call to prayer Maranatha ("Our Lord, come!") is attested by Paul, the Didache and (in Greek translation) Rev 22:20-21. Based on the Didache, it can be assumed that this call to Maranatha concluded the early Christian celebration of the Eucharist. The feeding miracles in the Gospels can be interpreted in terms of the early Christian celebration of the meal. They show that they were filling main meals that were celebrated as a foreshadowing of the end-time banquet of joy.
Baptism by immersion in water (preferably running water) was the initiation rite of the early church. A very old baptismal formula is recorded in Acts 2:38. According to this, the person being baptized pronounced the name of Jesus and thereby became the property of the Messiah, whose end-time return was expected. He was thus protected in a special way in the threats of the end times. His sins were forgiven and he received the Holy Spirit. It can be assumed from the ancient gloss Acts 8:37 that the baptized person also made a profession of faith.
The first sermons of Peter, which Luke edited, reflect the basic ideas of the early Christian mission: for them, Jesus was the bringer of salvation for God's people announced throughout Israel's entire biblical history, whose death on the cross as the final judgment fulfilled the promises of blessing to the patriarchs, whose resurrection brought about God's reconciliation with Israel, opened salvation to the nations and called the listeners of the sermon to comprehensive repentance.
The creedal formulas taken up by Paul also place Jesus' self-giving and his resurrection by God at the center of the early Christian doctrine of faith.
Community of goods
Whether the members of the Jerusalem church actually lived without property and shared all their possessions is disputed. Some exegetes point out that Luke presents the early church as the realization of "social utopias of an ideal community often found in ancient philosophy." An analogous tradition is, for example, Pythagoras' community of goods.
However, very early passages in the Q source already define the lack of possessions as a condition of following Jesus (Mt 10:9f). This is because the disciples belonged to the beggarly poor (Greek: ptochoi), who made up the majority of the Galilean and Judean population (ochlos) at the time. Based on the beatitudes of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, they were regarded as the true chosen people of God (Mt 4:1-11). The rich were also invited to give up their possessions in order to become Jesus' disciples (Mk 10:21). For formerly wealthy followers of Jesus, this was not just general charity, but an obligatory part of neighbourly love towards the poor (cf. Lk 6:27-35).
The sharing of possessions and food, community of goods and feeding the poor was also practised in other Jewish end-time communities, such as the presumed Qumran group, who, however, did not turn to the majority of the people, but withdrew into the desert as a "holy remnant". In Jesus' case, on the other hand, the giving up of possessions was not aimed at ascetic perfection, but at the real earthly anticipation of the heavenly justice that God had promised the poor with the coming of the Messiah (Lk 4:16-21). For example, the possessions of tax collectors ("tax collectors") were regarded as plunder, acquired at the expense of their impoverished and indebted compatriots. The followers of Jesus were to go through all areas of Israel to proclaim the imminent kingdom of God and thus the imminent end of these exploitative conditions (Mt 10:5-15), without worrying about accumulating possessions and making a living like rich people (Mt 6:24-33).
It was not until Luke's time, when the early Christian mission had reached the wealthy coastal towns of Asia Minor, that Jesus' disciples' natural task of giving up their possessions became a moral appeal, which was apparently only followed in exceptional cases and was therefore emphasized (Acts 4:36f). Luke therefore highlighted examples in his Gospel where Jesus persuaded relatively rich people like Zacchaeus to return their possessions to those who had been robbed (Luke 19:1-11). Some sold all their possessions and brought the money to the apostles, who used it to provide for the entire community (Acts 4:32-37 [1]). This care for the poor was no longer a sign of solidarity within the Jewish people, but served to equalize the wealth of poorer and richer Christians within the community. However, this remained unusual within the ancient society and attractive to the poorer classes. There are only certain parallels to support in Hellenistic associations.
According to Acts 5:1-11, a married couple (Ananias and Sapphira) died after transferring only part of the proceeds of the land they had sold to the early church. According to one interpretation, keeping property that belonged to everyone for oneself was a taboo here: Anyone who kept back any of their property was "betraying" the Holy Spirit himself and thus losing their right to live. According to another interpretation, the radical renunciation of possessions was voluntary (cf. Acts 5:4) and was particularly praised by Barnabas (Acts 4:36-37). However, Hananias and Sapphira took this step half-heartedly, which was interpreted as an attempt to deceive God and the Holy Spirit. Schenke suspects that some Jerusalem Christians "owned houses, land and capital. They were not 'expropriated'." Thus, giving up property was not legally institutionalized, but rather made available to all fellow Christians, for example their own house as a meeting place. According to Schenke, the money collected through sales went into a "common fund", which was used for social emergencies, perhaps also for the purchase of burial sites.
Luke's depiction of the early Christian community of goods has sometimes been interpreted as an early form of communism. However, this term also includes the upheaval of production relations, which is not mentioned in the book of Acts. Since the early church saw itself as an anticipation of the end-time people of God, its expectations of salvation, like those of Judaism, also indirectly included the future radical change in property and power relations (cf. Lk 1:46-55 ). The ideal of the community of goods, which anticipated this expectation, has continued to have an impact in many ways in the history of Christianity, for example in some monastic orders, monastic communities and basic ecclesial communities.
Groups and conflicts
According to the Acts of the Apostles, the members of the early church initially lived together in harmony. But the growth of the church soon brought problems. According to Acts 6:1-6, the widows from the Greek-speaking part of the church were overlooked in the daily care of the poor. This indicates that this sub-group was organizationally independent; perhaps the Aramaic-speaking early Christians also had reservations about them. As a result, the general assembly of the early church selected seven "deacons" (helpers, servants) to ensure that everyone was cared for fairly. Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicholas were named.
Their task is unclear: they are not reported to have performed diaconal services, but Stephen (Acts 6:8) and Philip (Acts 8:4-13; Acts 8:26-40) acted as missionaries. Their election is therefore not only seen as a solution to an administrative problem, but also as an indication of conflicts between Jewish Christians and Hellenistic Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. Apparently, the leadership role of the apostles there was disputed early on. This may also have been related to material problems: The early church received donations for the poor from the other new Christian communities (Gal 2:10; Acts 11:29). With their election, the Hellenists in the early church evidently received the right to distribute it and thus a certain degree of autonomy.
This internal conflict was accompanied by the distrust of the highest Jewish authority in Jerusalem, the Sanhedrin. According to Acts 4, it interrogated Peter and John and tried to stop their missionary preaching. However, the sympathy of the people had preserved the leaders of the early church (Acts 4:21). After their re-arrest, it was the advice of the Pharisee Gamaliel that secured their release (Acts 5:34-40). Hans Conzelmann points out that the Pharisees are portrayed several times in Luke as being relatively well-disposed towards the Christians because both groups shared a belief in the resurrection.
The beginnings of the Gentile mission probably came from the Hellenists, as their leader Stephen criticized the Mosaic Law and the temple cult (Acts 6:13f). He publicly accused the Sanhedrin of breaking the law and of murdering Jesus. This was followed by a religious trial that ended with his stoning (Acts 7:56). As a result, part of the early church was expelled from Jerusalem and dispersed into the neighboring regions. The circle of twelve remained in Jerusalem as the nucleus of a rebuilding of the early church (Acts 8:1). From then on, however, Luke reports nothing more about them.
Hellenistic missionaries such as Philip founded new churches (Acts 8:40), so that Christianity expanded into Samaria, Syria and Asia Minor. The first large mixed congregation of Jews and Gentiles besides Jerusalem was founded in the Asia Minor metropolis of Antioch. Apparently, it was made easier or waived for these new Christians to observe the Jewish commandments: This is why they were fiercely persecuted by Jews loyal to the Torah, such as the Pharisee Paul, on behalf of the Sanhedrin (Acts 8:1). However, after his unexpected conversion, he advocated a Torah-free mission to the nations and initially carried out missionary work in the Mediterranean region independently of the apostles of the early church (Acts 8–10).
The Apostolic Council
After the expulsion and flight of the Hellenists, Peter and the Twelve gave up their sedentary lifestyle in Jerusalem and went about as itinerant missionaries, as they had already done during Jesus' lifetime. The model of the end-time pilgrimage of the nations to Zion faded; instead, Jerusalem became the starting point of a "centrifugal" early Christian mission of unprecedented intensity that encompassed the entire Mediterranean region. Peter, John and James were only occasionally to be found in Jerusalem, and no trace of the other apostles remains. In place of the college of twelve, James, the brother of the Lord, became the leader of the early church of Jerusalem, and other members of Jesus' family probably also took on leadership roles. For the first time, elders (presbyters) are now also mentioned in Jerusalem; this is probably the leadership college of the Aramaic-speaking early Christians, corresponding to the seven who led the Greek-speaking part of the church until the expulsion of the Hellenists. Schenke assumes that the Jewish Christian community led by James and the presbyteral college developed forms of organization in which a kind of "church discipline" was practised and sinners were excluded if rebuke was unsuccessful.
The early Christian Hellenists also turned to Greeks who had no Jewish background. As a result, the proportion of so-called Gentile Christians - newly baptized people of non-Jewish descent - in early Christianity grew. Jewish regulations were imposed on them in many communities. Initially, the "Judaizers" among the apostles of the early church probably also tolerated this; Paul reports no restrictions after his first visit to Jerusalem, where he met Jesus' brother James (Gal 1:18f). However, tensions later arose between him and Peter, whom Luke portrays as the first missionary to the Gentiles (Acts 10), over the issue of purity laws (Acts 11). Apparently, the leaders of the early church disagreed as to whether the Gentile Christians should be subject to certain conditions and if so, which ones.
The different approaches of the missionaries called into question the leadership role and identity of the early church and threatened the unity of early Christianity as a whole. The issue of circumcision, in particular, led to a crucial test: should Gentiles also be circumcised at baptism and thus obliged to observe the entire Jewish Torah? If they did not observe their eating and purity laws, the common meal between Christians of Jewish and Gentile origin in the congregations would also become a problem. This raised the fundamental theological question of whether being a Christian was only possible as part of Judaism or whether this boundary was no longer valid.
This fundamentally affected the self-image of the early church: it saw itself primarily as the "vanguard" of God's people Israel, who had yet to be saved, saved by the Messiah from sin and divine wrath. According to this, Gentile Christians were " called ones" who owed their salvation entirely to the "excess of grace" of the mediator of salvation, Jesus Christ. The lack of clarity as to what this meant in relation to the "covenant of God with Israel (Brit)" and the instructions given to Israel by God (Torah) pushed for a binding solution.
The insistence of some Jerusalem apostles that the Jewish commandments were also binding for Gentile Christians caused a lack of understanding among the Hellenistic apostles. There was a threat of a division into congregations of Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians. To prevent this, both sides asserted all their authority. The Jerusalem apostles summoned a meeting of the missionaries to settle the dispute; on the way there, Barnabas and Paul became spokesmen for the Gentile Christian churches (Acts 15:1-3).
The so-called Apostles' Council (also known as the Apostles' Convention) was a decisive turning point in the history of early Christianity. Paul and Luke describe its course and results differently. According to Acts 15, there was a plenary meeting of the early church at which the Judaizers initially argued that the circumcision of the Gentile Christians was necessary. This was followed by an internal debate between Peter, Barnabas, Paul, James and probably others. The essence of the law-free Gentile mission according to Gal 2:1-14 was confirmed. This prevented the division of early Christianity. However, the validity of the Jewish ritual laws remained a controversial issue afterwards.
Further events
The early church had survived the persecution after the execution of Stephen (around 36) (Acts 7:59) as well as the execution of James the Great under Herod Agrippa I (44) (Acts 12:2) and was therefore still tolerated by the leading groups of Judaism. It was therefore able to send out its missionaries to the Jews and Gentiles from Jerusalem to the surrounding regions.
Notes in the Gospels reveal the regions in which new Christian communities were founded: Mk 3:7, for example, lists Idumea (in southern Judea), Perea (in the east) and Phoenicia (coastal region in the west) in addition to Galilee, Judea and Jerusalem. Instead, Mt 4:24 mentions the Decapolis, a Hellenistic confederation of cities on the East Bank, and Syria, while Lk 6:17 mentions Samaria as well as Phoenicia. After his conversion, Paul not only visited Damascus, but also "Arabia" (Gal 1:17): This meant the kingdom of the Nabataeans east of Judea at the time. If the information is added together, one gets a rough picture of the dispersion of the Christian communities in and around Palestine up to around 100.
After the Apostles' Council, the Acts of the Apostles almost exclusively depicts Paul's missionary journeys and offers hardly any news about the early church. The Jerusalem group of twelve had probably already been replaced by a committee of three under the leadership of Jesus' eldest brother (Mk 6:3), James (Gal 2:9); the other apostles no longer appear. Peter had left Jerusalem after the council and traveled around Asia Minor as a missionary (Gal 2:11-14; 1 Cor 9).
Only James and the "elders" are later mentioned again as recipients of the collection for the poor that Paul had been instructed to make at the council (Acts 21:15ff). It is therefore assumed that he had now become the sole leader of the early church. According to Gal 2:12, he apparently enforced the resolutions of the Apostles' Council outside Jerusalem and, according to Acts 21:21-25, supported the separation of the Jewish Christians from the Gentile Christians even after Paul's missionary successes. Until his death, the early church retained its pre-eminent position in early Christianity.
Although Paul had to fight against groups in his churches who rejected or distorted his law-free mission to the Gentiles, he did not identify their missionaries as his enemies (including the "super-apostles" in 2 Cor 11:5;12:11), but always recognized the primacy of the early church: This is confirmed by his collection for them in his letter to the Romans around 60 (Rom 15:25-28).
As a peripheral group of Palestinian Judaism, the early church of Jerusalem was severely affected by the intensifying conflicts between parts of the Jewish population and the Roman occupation. When Paul delivered his collection in Jerusalem, he found a large Jewish-Christian community that kept its distance from him. According to the Acts of the Apostles, Sicarii planned his murder. The First Epistle to the Thessalonians (written around 50), in which Paul vehemently polemicizes against the Jewish authorities persecuting his mission (1 Thess 2:14-16), seems to reflect a politically tense situation in which there was "harassment and hostility against Christians and Christian communities in Palestine".
According to Flavius Josephus, the Sadducees under the high priest Ananias II (Annas) took advantage of the power vacuum after the death of the governor Festus until the arrival of his successor to execute James with other Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. His death is dated to the year 62.
Eusebius of Caesarea wrote in the 4th century that most members of the Jerusalem early church had fled to the East Bank, to Pella, before the start of the Jewish War in 68. Ludger Schenke summarizes: "Palestinian Jewish Christianity was fighting for its existence in a hopeless situation. It was caught between all camps ... The Jerusalem early church left the city at the beginning of the Jewish War. Their trace ... is lost in the darkness of history."
Several authors of the early church claim to have information about the fate of the early church of Jerusalem after the destruction of the temple in the year 70: A remnant church had been re-established in the ruins of Jerusalem; sons of James and other relatives of Jesus had led it and ensured the continuity of its traditions. In the course of the Bar Kochba Revolt (132–135), this remnant church had fled Jerusalem for good.

Guillaume Mirabel
|
Guillaume Mirabel (29 August 1744 – 13 August 1794) became a general of brigade in the army of Republican France during the French Revolutionary Wars. He was born in the south of France and enlisted in the French Royal Army as a dragoon in 1768. Appointed a cavalry instructor, he fought in the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees against the Kingdom of Spain. In 1793, he fought at the battles of Mas Deu, Perpignan, Peyrestortes, and Truillas, and was wounded four times. He led a brigade at Second Boulou in May 1794. A promising leader, Mirabel was killed in action while leading his troops at the Battle of Sant Llorenç de la Muga.
Early career
Guillaume Mirabel was born on 29 August 1744 at Fitou in what is now the department of Aude, France. On 11 April 1768, he enlisted in the Languedoc Dragoon Regiment and served until 31 December 1772, when he was dismissed. On 1 October 1780, he was hired as a weigher by the customs office at Agde. On 12 May 1793, the Representatives on mission appointed Mirabel cavalry instructor for the departments of Gard and Hérault, with the rank of lieutenant.
War of the Pyrenees
Mirabel was wounded four times; the first time occurred at the Battle of Mas Deu on 19 May 1793 when he was struck by a bullet in the leg. The commander of the French Army of the Eastern Pyrenees, Louis-Charles de Flers instructed Luc Siméon Auguste Dagobert and 5,000 to defend Mas Deu. The Spanish commander Antonio Ricardos attacked the position with 15,000 men and drove off the French. Mirabel was promoted captain and assigned as instructor of the cavalry and light artillery of the army. On 17 July, he was wounded again by a saber stroke to his right shoulder at the Battle of Perpignan. On this occasion, Ricardos mounted a direct assault of the camp at Perpignan but was driven off by well-handled French artillery. The French tried to harass their retreating foes, but the Spanish cavalry stopped pursuit. Despite the victory, de Flers was replaced by Hilarion Paul Puget de Barbantane on 7 August. De Flers was later executed during the Reign of Terror.
Mirabel was wounded for the third time by a saber blow to his head during a skirmish at Thuir on 29 August 1793. At this time, Ricardos established four fortified camps surrounding Perpignan. The fourth camp at Peyrestortes northwest of Perpignan threatened to isolate the city completely. At this, Barbantane panicked and cravenly abandoned his army, leaving Eustache Charles d'Aoust in command at Perpignan and Jacques Gilles Henri Goguet leading an outlying division at Salses-le-Château. In the Battle of Peyrestortes on 17 September 1793, d'Aoust and Goguet cooperated in attacking and capturing the Spanish camp. In this action, Mirabel was wounded a fourth time by a saber stroke in his right hand. On 27 September, he was appointed to lead the army's mounted flankers.
Mirabel was raised in rank to general of brigade on 23 December 1793. After Peyrestortes, the Army of Eastern Pyrenees fought the Battle of Truillas on 22 September, the First Battle of Boulou on 3–4 and 14–15 October, and the Battle of Villelongue on 7 and 18 December 1793. At the Second Battle of Boulou on 30 April 1794, Mirabel commanded a brigade in Pierre Augereau's Right Division in Jacques François Dugommier's Army of the Eastern Pyrenees. The brigade counted 2,039 infantry and 80 cavalry. On 6 May, Augereau defied orders and advanced to seize Sant Llorenç de la Muga where the Spanish had a cannon foundry. Preoccupied with the siege of the Fort de Bellegarde and the Siege of Collioure, Dugommier allowed Augereau to ignore his wishes and remain at the foundry. On 19 May 1794 in the First Battle of Sant Llorenç de la Muga, 15,000 Spanish troops led by Luis Fermín de Carvajal, Conde de la Unión attacked Augereau's 6,000. The assault was poorly managed and Augereau handled his division with skill. The French were able to repel their numerically superior foes with serious losses. During the battle, Mirabel's brigade defeated the brigades of Francisco Solano and Juan Miguel de Vives.
Death
The French captured Collioure on 26 May 1794, but Bellegarde continued to hold out. Since its garrison was running short of food, Conde de la Unión determined either to break the siege or to send a food convoy. The Spanish commander ordered a major attack on 13 August 1794, which resulted in the Second Battle of Sant Llorenç de la Muga. Dugommier commanded 34,000 troops while Conde de la Unión's army numbered 45,000. The Spanish massed 22,000 soldiers against Augereau's 9,000 men at Sant Llorenç de la Muga. Though Augereau's troop deployment was inadequate, his tactical skill helped win the battle and inflict heavy losses on the Spanish. Domingo Salvator Izquierdo advanced directly on the foundry with two brigades but was attacked by Mirabel's brigade in a gorge. When Augereau brought up reinforcements, Izquierdo's troops were routed. During the action, Mirabel was shot in the head and killed.

Osyp Petrovych Kurylas (; 7 August 1870 – 25 June 1951) was a Ukrainian painter and graphic artist best known for his depictions of Hutsuls and postcards depicting the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, among other works.
Biography
Osyp Petrovych Kurylas was born 7 August 1870 in the settlement of Shchyrets, in what was then Austria-Hungary. He first graduated from the Lviv Industrial Design School (now the ) in 1890 or 1892 before later studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, graduating in 1900. In Kraków, he studied under Polish painters Leon Wyczółkowski and Jacek Malczewski, and he became a member of the Lviv-based in 1898.
In early works, Kurylas focused heavily on social issues, such as orphans and the homeless. He was active in painting commissioned portraits, the money of which he spent on a trip to culturally-significant European cities in 1903. He married his wife, the Polish Valeriia Skorkhan, in 1906. Two years later, he produced some of his most popular works, including portraits of Taras Shevchenko, Ivan Kotliarevsky, and Ukraine's hetmans. He also illustrated Mykola Arkas's History of Ukraine.
After the beginning of World War I Kurylas joined the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen. In addition to being an infantryman of the Sich, he was also head of the art department of the group's press service, and produced several popular postcards depicting the Sich. With the end of World War I Kurylas became a teacher at , and, following Novakivskyi's 1935 death, he became the school's director, continuing to work until 1939.
Kurylas's works during the interwar period covered several different fields, such as illustrations for children's literature, religious paintings, and illustrations for periodicals and newspapers. He also painted several icons, which have since appeared in Poland, Canada, and the United States, as well as Ukraine. In the final years of his life, his paintings were closer to themes of Ukrainian nationalism and patriotism.
Kurylas died on 25 June 1951 in Lviv. He was buried in the city's Lychakiv Cemetery.

Clair du Dauphiné
|
Saint Clair of Dauphiné, also known as St. Clair of Vienne, was a Catholic abbot who "bequeathed to monasticism an example of religious excellence".
He was born about 590 in Saint-Clair-du-Rhône and died in 660 in Vienne, France.
His liturgical memorial is celebrated on January 1 in the Roman Martyrology.
Biography
St. Clair was born around 590 in the village of Beauchamp (later renamed Saint-Clair-du-Rhône in his memory). He was raised first by his widowed mother and then by the monks of Saint-Ferréol when his mother decided to retire to the cloistered convent of Sainte-Blandine.
St. Clair decided to enter the monastery of Saint-Ferréol-Trente-Pas, one of the most important monasteries of the time (it had four hundred monks at that time), to dedicate himself to God.
He was considered outstanding, so much so that Bishop Caldéolde decided to appoint him abbot of the Saint-Marcel monastery (which had thirty monks at the time) and chaplain of the Saint-Blandine monastery (where his mother had retired).
According to Christian tradition, he was noted for his prophetic gifts and miraculous healing abilities.
He died around 660 and was buried in the church of Sainte-Blandine, next to the martyrs of Lyon.
Most of his relics were destroyed during the French Wars of Religion (1562–1598).
Devotion and patronage
Saint Clair is the patron saint of woodworkers, glassmakers, and spectacle makers. He is invoked as a healing saint for the eyes, in particular, to "protect the eyes and cure eye diseases". From this function derives the proverb and expression "Saint Clair, who makes you see clearly".
According to Arnold van Gennep, Saint Clair is also the patron saint of stonemasons ("who are in constant danger of being blinded by splinters and dust").
His relics were kept and venerated mainly in Lyon, but also in the Savoyard parishes of Dingy-Saint-Clair, Cons-Sainte-Colombe, Aix-les-Bains, Saint-Simon, Les Échelles of Saint-Alban, Bramans, and Yvoire, until their destruction during the French Wars of Religion.
In the commune of Dingy-Saint-Clair, where a relic of Saint Clair was kept, a pilgrimage for eye diseases was held until the destruction of the priory (partly during the French Revolution when the buildings were confiscated and sold as national property and burned).
The Catholic Church celebrates Saint Clair on January 1. Locally, he is celebrated in Geneva and Savoy on January 2. The diocese of Grenoble (formerly Dauphiné) celebrates him on January 3.

Xanthosia kochii
|
Xanthosia kochii is an erect, perennial shrub in the family Apiaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has trifoliate leaves with wedge-shaped leaflets, white flowers in a compound umbel with 6 to 15 flowers per ray and up to 6 flowers between the rays.
Description
Xanthosia kochii is an erect, perennial shrub that typically grows to a height of and is hairy. Its leaves are trifoliate, the leaflets wedge-shaped, long and wide on a petiole long and sheathing the stem. The flowers are arranged in a compound umbel with 3 to 5 rays and 6 to 15 flowers per ray and 6 flowers between the rays. The flowers are all female or bisexual and male.
There are 3 to 5 linear leaf-like involucral bracts long at the base of the peduncles and 2 or 3 egg-shaped bracts at the base of the flowers. The sepals are narrowly elliptic to egg-shaped, long and about wide. The petals are white, about long and about wide. Flowering occurs from August to September.
Taxonomy and naming
This species was first formally described in 1911 by Ernst Georg Pritzel, who gave it the name Trachymene kochii in Repertorium Specierum Novarum Regni Vegetabilis, from specimens collected near Watheroo by Max Koch in 1905. In 2013, J.M.Hart and Murray Henwood transferred the species to Xanthosia as X. kochii in the journal Telopea. The specific epithet (kochii) honours the collector of the type specimen.
Distribution and habitat
This species of xanthosia grows under thickets of species of Allocasuarina, Melaleuca and Acacia between Jibberding, Tardun, Mount Gibson and Yandanooka in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, and Yalgoo bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.

Texas Senate Bill 4 (2023)
|
Texas Senate Bill 4 (Texas S.B. 4) is a Texas state statute enacted by the Texas Legislature and signed into law by governor Greg Abbott on December 18, 2023. The bill allows state officials to arrest and deport migrants who enter the state illegally.
Senate Bill 4 is the subject of United States v. Texas, a lawsuit filed against Texas alleging that the bill violates the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
Constitutionality
In January 2024, the Department of Justice sued Texas over Senate Bill 4. In United States v. Texas, district court judge David Alan Ezra ruled that the bill violated the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, a conflict of laws clause.
On March 19, the Supreme Court ruled that the law could go into effect while the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit considers the district court's judgment. Hours later, the appellate court put the bill on hold. United States v. Texas was argued on March 20.

The Film Crew (video)
|
The Film Crew was a viral video created by Aimee La Joie in 2020. Her depiction of film crew members began from a TikTok trend before going viral on Twitter.
Background
In the Summer 2020, the song Mr. Blue Sky became a trend for people in everyday situations on TikTok. Aimee La Joie contributed to the trend, basing her version on the professions of people on a film set. Some of the characters include the actress, the director, the sound guy, the screenwriter, the first camera assistant, the costume designer, the producer, the production assistant, the stuntwoman, the child star, her mother and set teacher. In August 2020, the video went viral, reaching over 100,000 shares and 7 million views on Twitter, which prompted La Joie to make more videos of other film set personnel.
Response
John Plunkett at The Poke praised the video and said it initially went viral after Twitter user @leesteffen had shared it. Cinemanía said that they hope it draws attention to films in which women are mainly behind the camera. After La Joie released several similar videos by 2021, Scroll.in pointed out that La Joie had included Tom Cruise, referring to Cruise's altercation with crew members of Mission Impossible 7 from December 2020. Variety said the video aired on The CW and shared a link to the original which was published on La Joie's TikTok account on June 19, 2020.

Fort Lauderdale Woman's Club
|
The Fort Lauderdale Woman's Club is a women's club in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They completed their clubhouse building in 1917 which the National Register of Historic Places listed in 2019 as part of a Multiple Property Submission.
History
Eighteen women founded what was then "Woman's Civic Improvement Association" in 1911, just before the city was incorporated. The group helped found a number of other civic organizations including Fort Lauderdale's first library, first Girl Scout troop, and first Red Cross office. After a fire destroyed much of downtown in 1912, they helped establish a volunteer fire department with the Board of Trade.
One of the founders was Ivy Julia Cromartie Stranahan, a prominent citizen dubbed the "mother of Fort Lauderdale". Stranahan was a strong proponent of rights for women, Native Americans, and African Americans. She was the first schoolteacher in Fort Lauderdale and the first president of the club. In 1913, Stranahan and her husband, business leader Frank Stranahan, donated the lot for the clubhouse's construction as well as the surrounding land for what's now named Stranahan Park.
1924, the club established a revolving loan to help women attend college. During World War II, the club bought enough war bonds that they had a bomber named after them.
In 1969, former club president Virginia S. Young became Fort Lauderdale's first and so far only female mayor. In 2007 the club elected Alice Sakhnovsky as the club's first African American president.
A homeless encampment had been located at the adjacent Stranahan Park for years. In 2017, the city forcibly cleared the camp following club complaints.
Today the Club rents out the building for wedding receptions and other events and markets the park as a botanical garden. Each January, city officials meet at the club for an informal goal-setting workshop for the year ahead.
Architecture
August Geiger designed the 1917 building in a Mediterranean Revival style. In 1949, the group built an addition on the back that nearly doubled the size.
The exterior has gray stucco siding with a red barrel tile roof. The front entrance has a three-bay arcaded porch while the side has an enclosed portico that serves as an entrance off the parking lot.
The interior consists of a large meeting hall, kitchen, restrooms, and a smaller meeting space. There is a brick fireplace with a copper hood and Dade County pine floors throughout.

Baende was dismissed as governor in March 2013. He ran for the position again in 2016, but was defeated. In 2019, Baende ran again for governor, but withdrew his candidacy on the basis of corruption in the province. In 2023, Baende unsuccessfully ran for president.

Kanonenfieber is a German black metal band from Bamberg.
History
The head of the band and its only member is "Noise", a musician from Bamberg. At live concerts, he is accompanied by guest musicians and only sings, while he also plays all the instruments in the studio. The starting point for Kanonenfieber was an exchange between "Noise" and a friend, a , to write an album about the First World War based on letters and original documents from the period. The group was founded in 2020 and from September to the end of November 2020, the nine tracks of the debut album Menschenmühle were recorded at Noisebringer Studio. Mixing and mastering took another month and a half. Noise was solely responsible for the recordings.
Style
Metal.de describes the style of the debut album as "black/death metal". and Scheppercore calls it "Blackened Death Metal". Jan Jaedike from Rock Hard describes the sound as "epic death metal", other reviewers find "medium-fast, melodic black metal" or "traditional black metal, with interesting interludes". More differentiated, it is pointed out that the vocals and some riffs borrow from death metal and even death-doom and influence of post-rock.
According to Metal.de, the atmosphere created by the band is similar to that of 1914 or Bolt Thrower. In another place, Minenwerfer is mentioned as a reference. Melodies and "meticulous craftsmanship" remind Rock Hard editor Jaedike of Heaven Shall Burn.

Longridge Farmhouse
|
Longridge Farmhouse is a historic building in Bishopdale, North Yorkshire, a valley in England.
The farmhouse was built for George and Elizabeth Dodsworth, and is dated 1653, although its kitchen may be older. The building was grade II* listed in 1969, along with its outbuilding, which appears to have originally been part of the house, and has been converted into a garage. The farm is a long-term tenancy, and was sold in 1997 for £125,000.
Nikolaus Pevsner simply describes the building as "good", while Yorkshire Life praises its "two-storeyed porch and other fine details".
The farmhouse and outbuilding to the left are in stone with a string course and a stone slate roof. There are two storeys, three bays, and a rear outshut. The middle bay projects as a two-storey gabled porch containing a doorway with a quoined surround, a moulded arris and a triangular head, over which is an initialled and dated inscription. The inner doorway has a similar inscription on sunken spandrels. On the returns of the porch are round-headed windows with a chamfered surround, and elsewhere are double-chamfered mullioned windows, some with hood moulds. Inside, there is a large fireplace with a pointed arch with a salt box and a beehive oven, a triangular-headed fireplace in the parlour, and various exposed beams.

Women's Football Awards
|
The Women's Football Awards are awards recognising achievements in women's association football — both on-pitch performance and in promotion and sustainability — predominantly in the United Kingdom. Annual awards, they were first presented in 2023.
History
The Women's Football Awards was announced in 2022 and was promoted as the first major awards event solely for women's football. Awards are presented in various categories relating to success in the game and in supporting its growth. While celebrating achievements globally, the focus of the awards is domestic women's football in the United Kingdom (and, generally, England). Ahead of the second edition, co-host Eni Aluko described the awards as "Britain and Europe's biggest award event for women's football". According to the Women's Football Awards website, the International Player of the Year award is for the best player on the world stage; they are still nominated by club.
Nominations are made by the public, with winners decided by a combination of public and jury votes.
Per Beth Mead, who supported the awards, they intend to "shine a light on the success in the game and the people, brands and organisations which support its growth." As of 2024, the awards are run in association with TikTok and Metro.
2023
The ceremony for the inaugural edition was held at the Nobu Hotel in London on 25 May 2023, hosted by former footballers and pundits Eni Aluko and Jamie Carragher. The major sponsor was Shein, which supported grassroots nominees to attend the ceremony. Entertainment was provided by Heather Small and Fleur East. In 2023, the awards were run in association with Mail Sport and Metro.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Karen Carney (144 England caps)
Special Recognition Award: Carol Thomas (England captain at the first Women's Euro)
2024
Aluko and Carragher are set to return as hosts for a ceremony on 30 May 2024, with Shein also returning as sponsor.
Response
The awards saw 20,000 public votes in their inaugural edition.
There was negative reaction to the Football Ally of the Year award, presented in the inaugural edition. Initially, it had been named "Male Football Ally of the Year". Fan responses questioned the need for an award celebrating men, and it was noted that the nominees had done nothing visible for women's football: some had congratulated women's footballers on social media and others had not had any public involvement at all. Harry Kane was one of the recipients, with The Times writing that his contribution of celebrating the Lionesses' UEFA Women's Euro 2022 victory meant "it was like being named Animal Rights Activist of the Year because you once smiled at a dog in the park."

Akanthos curse tablet
|
The Akanthos curse tablet is a double-sided text written in Ancient Greek that was discovered at the necropolis of Akanthos, a city in Macedonia located on the north-east of the Chalcidice peninsula. It was made public in 1993, along with three more tablets from Akanthos, at the 14th conference held by the Linguistics Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The tablet has been dated to the late 4th century BC, when Akanthos was part of the Macedonian kingdom. It contains a magic spell (, katadesmos) which belongs to the category of erotic or amatory curses. The text was composed by a man named Pausanias and was intented to bind down two individuals, Sime and Ainis, of whom the former is identified for certain as a love interest. The Akanthos tablet is an example of a love spell that is unambiguously written from the male perspective, and one of the earliest surviving examples of an 'attraction curse', a spell that expresses its intention to bring its target to the agent.
Interpretation
The Akanthos curse tablet belongs to the broad category of erotic or amatory curses, which were intended to influence erotic relationships. Scholars further divide this category between 'separation curses', which include the more well-known tablet from Pella, and 'attraction curses', of which the Akanthos tablet is among the earliest known examples. This type of attraction spells would later be known as agoge () or agogimon (), and were very commonly issued by a male agent with the intention to attract a desired woman. Though the tradition of attraction rituals is documented at an earlier period from literary sources (e.g. Jason and Medea), the late 4th century BC Akanthos tablet was until recently the earliest surviving example of this type; two more recently published Greek spells from Sicily that seem to display features of an attraction curse have been dated to the 5th century BC. Curse-writing rituals were performed in the Macedonian capital well before the time of Philip II, and continued to flourish in cities like Pella and Pydna during the time of Macedon's expansion and urbanization. By the mid-4th century BC, neighbouring settlements that had now passed under Macedonian control would yield a handful of curse tablets of their own, including the cities of Arethousa, Oraiokastro, and Akanthos. Pausanias' tablet is one of the five curse tablets discovered in Akanthos from when the city was part of Macedon proper. Following the standard practice of Greek magicians, the tablets were buried at necropolises, in hopes that the spell would be successfully carried to the underworld by the soul of a recently deceased human.
On each side of the tablet, Pausanias expresses his wish to bind down two separate people, Sime () and Ainis (). The name Ainis is generally non-gender-specific; its bearer is sometimes also identified as female, or sometimes not classified at all. The tablet seems to include the names of both the agent and the targets, which is generally a rare incidence for traditional katadesmoi. Similar to the composer of the Pella tablet, Pausanias wishes to be the only one to have control over the time span of the spell's efficacy, and thus be the only one able to release the binding. The tablet is particularly notable, as the two conditions included in the curse were never before seen together, nor separately in a curse tablet of such an early date. One condition is that the first target (Sime) shall not be able to enjoy the benefits of Aphrodite ("nor may Aphrodite be gracious for her"), a theme found mainly in aggressive erotic spells of the Imperial period. The other condition is that both targets may not be able to fullfil their ritual obligations. In particular, Pausanias writes that the targets shall not be able to perform sacrifices ("touch a sacrificial victim"), until they give in to his demands (Athena is specifically mentioned as the recipient of Sime's sacrifice on side-A of the tablet). This wish implies that their abstinence from ritual sacrifices would be seen as offensive by the gods, and could therefore turn divine wrath against them. The idea that the targets of a curse risk divine offense if the agent's demands are not satisfied is a familiar theme in curse writing that is found throughout Asia Minor and the Mediterranean world, including in 4th century BC Greek curses from the northern Black Sea. The spell seems to be sexually motivated, as evident by Pausanias' wish for Sime to or him (). There have been various theories regarding the identity and social status of Sime, including that she may have been a sex-worker, a married woman, or a pallake, though ultimately none of them can be securely confirmed.

Austroperla
|
Austroperla cyrene, the black stonefly, is a species of austroperlid stonefly endemic to New Zealand. It is the single species in the genus Austroperla. The species is a 'shredder' that lives and feeds on decomposing wood and leaves in streams throughout New Zealand. It is particularly common in forested streams but relatively rare or absent from deforested streams.
A. cyrene nymphs and adults contain hydrogen cyanide and as a result are toxic to predators. To advertise their toxicity, A. cyrene adults have striking aposematic (warning) colouration, with bright yellow and white colour features against a black background.
This distinctive warning coloration is mimicked by melanic specimens of the non-toxic stoneflies Zelandoperla fenestrata and Taraperla pseudocyrene.

Palazzo Ducezio is the town hall of the town of Noto, in Sicily.
History
The building was designed by local Noto architect Vincenzo Sinatra in 1746, drawing inspiration from some French palaces of the 17th century, but it was only completed in 1830, with the second floor built in the first half of the 20th century by architect Francesco La Grassa.
Description
The façade, convex in shape, is characterized by twenty arches supported by Ionic order columns on the lower floor, and thirteen rectangular windows in the upper floor. Inside, the Hall of Mirrors is noteworthy. This is an oval-shaped hall furnished with Louis XV-style furniture and large mirrors carved by Avoli artist Sebastiano Dugo. Adorning the ceiling of the hall is The Foundation of Neas, a neoclassical fresco by painter Antonio Mazza depicting the foundation of Noto by Sicilian leader Ducetius.

John "Gary" Chelosky (November 2, 1951 – January 23, 2019) was an American competitive swimmer. He was inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame in 2024.
Biography
Chelosky was born on November 2, 1951, in Wilmington, Delaware. He began swimming competitively at an early age and was successful at Delawrae Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) tournaments in the early 1960s. He repeatedly won Delaware youth championships and in 1962 set the national record in the 10-and-under category for the 50-yard breaststroke, having a time of 36 seconds. He was the first person from Delaware to hold a national swimming record.
Later, Chelosky attended Salesianum School in Wilmington where he remained a successful swimmer, after having spent time away from the sport due to injury. In his senior year of high school, he set records while winning all three events at the state swimming championships in 1969 and then won all four events at the state AAU championships later that year.
Chelosky attended the University of Florida and was a member of the Florida Gators swimming and diving program. He won the Southeastern Conference title in 1971 and 1972 in the 200-yard breaststroke and also won the 100-yard breaststroke title in 1972. He held Gator records in three events and was named the school's athlete of the year as a sophomore in 1971. He was named an All-American in all four seasons he competed at the school.
Chelosky also competed for the United States at the 1971 Pan American Games in Cali, Colombia. He was a finalist for selection to the 1972 Summer Olympics. He continued swimming after his collegiate career and won the 100-yard breaststroke masters championship in the 25-29 age category in 1977. He later was a coach at a local YMCA.
Chelosky was married and had a daughter. He died on January 23, 2019, at the age of 67. He was posthumously inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame in 2024.

Smelter Farmhouse
|
Smelter Farmhouse is a historic building in Bishopdale, North Yorkshire, a valley in England.
Smelter is the second farm from the top of Bishopdale. The farmhouse is dated 1701, and was probably built for John Horner. A Mediaeval hearth has been found on the hillside nearby, and the building's name is probably a reference to this. In 1908, it was described as "a quaint-looking structure", and was the house of the local gameskeeper. It was grade II* listed in 1969, but was uninhabited for a time later in the century.
The farmhouse is in stone with quoins, and a stone slate roof with stone coping and shaped kneelers. There are two storeys and an irregular U-shaped plan, with a front range of three bays, a rear wing on the left, and a shorter staircase wing on the right. The central doorway has an elaborately moulded surround, the inner moulding forming a stepped head with the date and initials on the spandrels. Above is a pulvinated frieze and a segmental pediment. The window over the doorway has a single light with a stepped head, there is an oval fire window, and elsewhere are double-chamfered mullioned windows, some with segmental-arched lights, and some with hood moulds.

Architects Registration Council of Nigeria
|
The Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) is a statutory body established under the ARCON Act, tasked with regulating and enhancing the architectural profession within Nigeria.
Enacted to uphold standards of competence and professionalism, the ARCON Act empowers the council to set and periodically elevate the benchmarks for individuals seeking to practice architecture in Nigeria. ARCON's primary mandate encompasses the determination and enforcement of standards of knowledge and skill required for membership in the architectural profession. Moreover, the council is responsible for maintaining a register of qualified architects entitled to practice, ensuring adherence to ethical standards and promoting accountability within the profession. Through its accreditation processes, ARCON also plays a pivotal role in endorsing educational programs and professional development initiatives in the field of architecture across Nigeria. By fostering collaboration and upholding the highest standards of practice, ARCON seeks to advance the architectural profession and safeguard the interests of both practitioners and the public.
History
The Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) was established in 1969 by the Federal Military Government of Nigeria through Decree No. 10. Its formation marked a significant milestone in the regulation of the architectural profession within the country. Prior to the establishment of ARCON, there was a pressing need to ensure that standards of competence and professionalism were upheld in the practice of architecture.
ARCON was created with the primary objective of regulating architectural education, training, and practice in Nigeria. It aimed to address the lack of oversight and accountability that characterized the architectural industry at the time. Through the enactment of Decree No. 10, ARCON was granted the authority to set standards for architectural education, determine qualifications for registration, and maintain a register of qualified architects.
Over the years, ARCON has evolved in response to changes in the architectural landscape and advancements in professional standards. The council has undergone several revisions and reforms to enhance its regulatory functions and adapt to emerging challenges and opportunities in the field of architecture.
One significant milestone in ARCON's history was the review of its founding decree in 1996. This review led to the establishment of the Architects Registration Board of Nigeria (ARBON) as an independent body responsible for conducting architecture qualifying examinations and registering qualified architects.
In 2007, ARCON embarked on the development of a strategic plan aimed at refreshing and redirecting the Council towards a more efficient and effective regulatory regime. This strategic initiative underscored ARCON's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in its regulatory functions.
Throughout its history, the council's role in setting and maintaining standards has contributed to the development of the architectural industry in Nigeria, ensuring that only qualified and competent architects practice in the country.
Legal Basis
The Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) operates under the legal framework established by the Architects (Registration, Etc.) Act Cap A19 The Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. This Act, formerly known as Decree No 10 of 1969, provides the statutory authority for ARCON's existence and defines its mandate in regulating the architectural profession within Nigeria.
The Act empowers ARCON to set standards of competence and professionalism for individuals seeking to practice architecture, and to periodically update these standards as necessary. Additionally, it grants ARCON the authority to maintain a register of qualified architects entitled to practice, ensuring adherence to ethical standards and promoting accountability within the profession.
Over the years, the Act has undergone amendments and revisions to reflect changes in the architectural landscape and evolving societal needs. It serves as the cornerstone of ARCON's regulatory functions and guides the Council in fulfilling its mission to advance the architectural profession and protect the interests of both practitioners and the public.
Functions
The Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) is tasked with a range of functions and responsibilities aimed at regulating and enhancing the architectural profession within Nigeria. These functions ensure the maintenance of standards of competence, professionalism, and ethical conduct among architects practicing in the country.
Registration of Architects: One of ARCON's primary responsibilities is the registration of architects who wish to practice in Nigeria. This process involves assessing the qualifications and credentials of applicants to ensure they meet the standards set by the council. Registered architects are authorized to practice architecture in Nigeria and are listed on ARCON's register of architects.
Accreditation of Architectural Programs: ARCON is also responsible for accrediting architectural programs offered by universities and polytechnics in Nigeria. This accreditation ensures that these programs meet the necessary standards to produce qualified architects capable of practicing in the country. ARCON regularly evaluates accredited institutions to ensure they maintain the required standards.
Regulation of Architectural Practice: ARCON plays a vital role in regulating the practice of architecture in Nigeria. This includes setting standards for professional ethics and conduct, as well as monitoring the practice of architecture to ensure compliance with these standards. The council is committed to upholding the integrity of the architectural profession and protecting the interests of both practitioners and the public.
Disciplinary Action: ARCON has the authority to take disciplinary action against architects who breach the rules and regulations set by the council. This may include suspension, revocation of registration, or other penalties as deemed appropriate. The disciplinary process is conducted with fairness and transparency, with the goal of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and accountability within the profession.
Continuing Professional Development: ARCON encourages and regulates continuing professional development for architects in Nigeria. This ensures that architects stay abreast of current practices, technologies, and developments in the industry.
Collaboration
The Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) and the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) share a collaborative relationship that is essential for the advancement and regulation of the architectural profession within Nigeria. Their collaboration spans various initiatives aimed at upholding professionalism, ensuring quality standards, and promoting the interests of architectural practitioners and the public.
Together, the NIA and ARCON work closely to conduct periodic accreditation exercises at schools offering architecture programs across the country. Through these exercises, they ensure that architectural education meets the required standards and prepares students adequately for professional practice. Additionally, both organizations collaborate on setting and updating guidelines and regulations for architectural practice within Nigeria.
Furthermore, the NIA and ARCON collaborate on initiatives to enhance the membership drive and support architectural professionals throughout their careers. They provide avenues for continuous professional development, networking opportunities, and advocacy for the architectural profession's interests at both local and international levels.
In essence, the collaboration between the Nigerian Institute of Architects and the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria plays a role in ensuring the integrity, and growth of the architectural profession in Nigeria. By working hand in hand, they uphold standards, support practitioners, and promote the profession's significance in the built environment sector.

Coordination of Inclusivity Movements
|
The Coordination of Inclusivity Movements (French: Coordination des mouvements de l'inclusivité, CMI) is an alliance of five armed groups during the Mali War. The group was originally founded as the Coordination of Entente Movements (CME) in 2017 but changed to the CMI in 2020.
History
The CME was founded on November 11, 2017, by dissident groups of the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA) and Platform alliances. Groups in the CME demanded adherence to the Algiers Accords of 2015. The five main groups present at the foundation of the CME were:
Movement for the Salvation of Azawad - Chamanamas (MSA-C) (expelled in 2023 due to its affiliation with the CSP-PSD)
Coalition of the People of Azawad (CPA)
Congress for Justice in Azawad (CJA)
Popular Front of Azawad (FPA)
Popular Movement for the Salvation of Azawad (MPSA)
Between April 30 and August 3, 2018, Alla Ag Medi from MSA-C was appointed as the movement's interim general-secretary for three months during the first congress of the CMA held in Tin Aouker, Gao Region. Abou Bakr Siddigh Ould Taleb from the MPSA succeeded Medi as general-secretary in August 2018.
The CME is not explicitly pro-government or pro-autonomy like Platform and the CMA respectively, but instead advocates for the recognition and inclusion of its member groups and the ethno-religious groups comprising them within the Malian peace process.

Levenshulme Antiques Village
|
Levenshulme Antiques Village, formerly Levenshulme Town Hall, is a building in Levenshulme, a suburb of Manchester in England.
The building was constructed for Levenhulme Urban District Council at a cost of £6,000. It was built between 1897 and 1899, to a design by James Jepson. In 1909, the area became part of Manchester. Manchester City Council continued to use it to deliver services until 1990, when it was sold off and converted into an antiques centre. The antiques centre houses dealers selling furniture, fittings and smaller items, while outbuildings in the courtyard are used as workshops.
The building lies on Stockport Road, with a frontage 75 feet wide. It is built of brick, with stone dressings. The main entrance leads into an octagonal hall, with entrances to rooms which originally served as the council chamber, and as offices for the clerk, surveyor, overseers, and sanitary inspector. There is a staircase to the former public hall, with two retiring rooms. Behind the building is a courtyard, with buildings originally containing stables, sheds, and the caretaker's house.

James McNabb Cuningham
|
James McNabb Cuningham (2 June 1829 – 26 June 1905) was a British surgeon-general in India.
Biography
Cuningham was born on 2 June 1829. He was son of Major William Cunningham, of the 54th Bengal infantry, who entered the service in 1804 and retired on 18 May 1833. Cuningham, who modified the spelling of his surname, was born at the Cape of Good Hope, when his father was on leave from 1827 to 1829. He received his medical education at Edinburgh University, where he graduated M.D. in 1851, his thesis on the medical conditions of the aorta being commended. In 1892 he was made hon. LL.D. of Edinburgh.
Cuningham joined the Bengal medical service as an assistant surgeon on 20 November 1851; was promoted surgeon on 12 March 1864; surgeon-major on 20 November 1871, and surgeon-general on 29 March 1880, retiring on 31 March 1885. His first important charge in India was as superintendent of the central prison at Bareilly in 1861; he afterwards held a similar position at Meerut, and was appointed superintendent of the government press, north-west provinces, in 1863.
Cuningham was secretary of the sanitary commission appointed in 1866 under Sir John Strachey, first president, to report and advise on the health of European troops and on the sanitary state of India generally. He was made professor of hygiene at the Calcutta medical college in 1866 ; in 1869, sanitary commissioner for the Bengal presidency, and from 1875 until his retirement for the whole Indian empire. In 1880 he became in addition head of the Bengal medical department, with the rank of surgeon-general.
Cuningham's administrative faculties rather than scientific knowledge enabled him to carry through a great sanitary work. He wrote and spoke well, although his habit of mind tended to scientific agnosticism, and he doubted the value of bacteriological research. In the reorganisation of medical administration in India in 1880 Cuningham played a chief part. With Surgeon-general (afterwards Sir Thomas) Crawford, principal medical officer of the British forces in India, he drew up a report, known as the Crawford-Cuningham commission, for the complete amalgamation of the army medical department and the Indian medical service, which, issued in August 1881, was rejected by the war office. Cuningham left India on 4 April 1885, and on 16 June 1885 he was made C.S.I. He was appointed honorary surgeon to Queen Victoria on 15 August 1888, and from 1891 to 1896 was on the army sanitary committee, representing India in 1894 at the international sanitary conference at Paris.
He died in London on 26 June 1905. He was twice married: (1) on 2 March 1854, to Mary, only daughter of James McRae, and (2) to Georgina Euphemia, daughter of Robert Reid Macredie, on 11 April 1889. He left two sons and a daughter by the first marriage.
Cuningham was author of, besides official sanitary reports: 1. 'A Sanitary Primer for Indian Schools,' Calcutta, 1879. 2. 'Cholera; What the State can do to prevent it,' Calcutta, 1884, translated into German with a preface by Dr. Max von Pettenkofer, Brunswick, 1885.

Luk Luang Road
|
Luk Luang Road (, ) is a short street long in downtown Bangkok. It runs through three sub-districts of Dusit District, namely Si Yaek Maha Nak, Suan Chitlada, and Dusit.
It is considered one third of the Luang Road series, which includes Luang, Luk Luang, and Lan Luang Roads. These are all short thoroughfares built during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).
The street is a canalside road along the northern side of Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem the entire distance. It is parallel to Krung Kasem Road on the southern side.
It begins at the Maha Nak Market, the largest wholesale fruit center in Bangkok, then straight to the northwest. Luk Luang Road ends at Thewet Bridge, where it meets Samsen Road.
It was built along with the dug of the outer city moat, Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem. When finished, the King Chulalongkorn named it Luk Luang, which means "royal children", because it ran past the residences of high-ranking members of the royal family, all of whom had the status of being the King's children. One of them is Ladawan Palace, which is now Crown Property Bureau (CPB) Head Office.
Bordering the street are (most are government offices besides the Crown Property Bureau) Government House and Ministry of Education.
Wat Samananam Borihan, formerly and still colloquially known as Wat Yuan Saphan Khao is one of the interesting places along the street. It is a historic Annamese Buddhist temple in Mahāyāna sect. The area where the monastery is situated during the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III) was the residence of Annamese (modern-day Vietnamese) immigrants.
Luk Luang Road in the 1970s and 1980s was also used as a venue for Thailand Book Fair. An annual event held between the end of March and the beginning of April by the Ministry of Education, before moving to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in the 1990s.

Norman Hall (footballer)
|
Norman Hall (12 October 1897) was an English footballer who played as a forward for Portuguese club FC Porto for nine seasons, scoring 57 goals in 71 games played at the Portuguese and Regional Championships, very high numbers in that period of history.
Playing career
After an eventful career in England, in which he played for the likes of Staines Town, Woking, and Chesterfield, Hall moved to Portugal due to work reasons. He was working as a commercial employee when he had the opportunity to join the ranks of FC Porto in 1922, at the age of 25. He signed up as a member of the Dragons in September 1922, with number 2337, after several months playing in the blue and white shirt where he showed his natural talent for football.
Under the guidance of French coach Adolphe Cassaigne, Hall quickly became the club's striker in the FC Porto squad. Even though he did not participate in the team that won the club's very first official Portuguese football competition in 1922, Hall scored a hat-trick against SC Espinho in the semifinal of the 1924–25 Campeonato de Portugal, and then in the final, which was held in Viana do Castelo, he opened the scoring in a 2–1 victory against Sporting CP, thus contributing decisively in the club's second national title. This was his second goal in the final of a Portuguese championship, having already scored in the previous final, but in a 2–4 loss to S.C. Olhanense.
For an away match against Belenenses in 1927, FC Porto already had two foreign players in their eleven (Mihaly Siska, a Hungarian who had been recruited by the then Porto coach Akos Tezler, his compatriot, and Fridolf Resberg, a Norwegian who belonged to the Consulate of Norway in Porto, and who one day appeared in the Constitution to train and become a striker), so even though FC Porto understood that Norman Hall, who had lived in Portugal since he was eight years old and who had played for the club since 1920, was "morally" a Portuguese player, the club did not want to take risks, and asked the Portuguese Football Federation, via the Porto Football Association, whether or not Norman Hall would be considered a Portuguese player to comply with the regulations. This issue was appreciated and discussed at a meeting of the executive committee of the Portuguese Championship, which was attended by Manuel Mesquita, the representative of FC Porto, among other delegates, with the final decision coinciding with Porto's point of view, classifying Norman Hall as a Portuguese player. In the said match against Belenenses, FC Porto conceded a last-minute equalizer when the referee from Beja failed to disallow a goal that was clearly offside, thus taking the match into extra time, during which Belenenses scored again with another goal offside, as the press at the time unanimously recognized. FC Porto was compensated in 500 escudos.
Hall's career at FC Porto would have come to an end in 1931, when he hung up his boots. In total, he was at FC Porto for nine seasons, between 1922 and 1931. In total, he scored 57 goals in 71 just games at the Portuguese and Regional Championships, very high numbers in that period of history, but despite his goalscoring prowess, he failed to earn a single international cap for both England and Portugal. He also won 8 titles, including a Portuguese Championship in 1925.
Due to the abilities that he demonstrated on the field and his great human qualities, Hall was elevated to honorary member of FC Porto in 1930, shortly after finishing his football career, during a party that included a football match between FC Porto and CD Candal from Vila Nova de Gaia, which contested the Norman Hall Cup, a one-off trophy named after him and which was won by Porto (5–2).
Hall was the first Englishman to ever play for FC Porto and also the only one to have done so for over 90 years, until the club signed Danny Loader in 2021, who made his debut against Boavista on 30 October 2021, scoring in injury time to seal a 4–1 victory. Loader then had to wait nearly a year to make his debut for Porto as a starter, on 30 July, in the 2022 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, thus becoming the second Englishmen to do so after Hall.
Later life
Hall lived in Lisbon, for professional reasons, where he worked in the communications office at the Embassy of the United States of America.> In 1952, he helped to import, from England, the seeds that gave rise to the first pitch at the Estádio das Antas, which opened that year.

John Henry Ball
|
John Henry Ball (29 June 1856 – Unknown) was an engineer and a footballer who played as a midfielder for Team Anglès in 1899 and who joined the ranks of FC Barcelona in 1900, although he did not play a single match for the Blugrana. He briefly worked as a referee in the first edition of the Copa Macaya, overseeing the first competitive match in the history of football in Catalonia.
Early and personal life
Ball was born on 29 June 1856 in the London Borough of Lambeth, as the son of John Epton Ball and Marianna Ball née Burt. On 5 June 1881, he married Julia Emma Dale (1859–?) in Coventry, and the couple had seven children John Henry (1883–1938), Frank (1884–?), Percy Edward (1886–?), Eleanor Marion (1888–1976), all born in Coventry, Charles Bernard born in London (1889–?), and David Lewis (1891–1981), and Walter Lawrence Ball (1893–?), the latter two in Nottingham.
Julia Ball died in Barcelona on 13 October 1901. Nothing else is known from his personal life, but it is possible that he remarried and had more children.
Professional career
In 1889, Ball created a company, together with other partners, in Ilkeston, near Nottingham, called Nottingham Mechanists Company, Ld. He was a "specialist" in bicycles, in fact, he even devised some modifications that he patented.
In 1898, the Ball family moved to Barcelona, and his father began appearing in the press on several occasions: from bicycle mechanic to inventor and builder. Ball then founded a company called J.H. Bell, Constructor de máquinas y tornillos, located in Carrer Ali Bei, no. 26, and in 1905, the company changed its name to "Successores de JH Bell" while maintaining the location.
Football career
Ball played football in England and before leaving London, he brought a football ball with him. On every Sunday morning, he would take his three oldest sons, John Henry, Frank, and Percy, to the Velódromo de la Bonanova, to teach them the practice of football, a sport that was practically unknown in the city at the time. They soon befriended other English families that played football in the city, such as the Morris (Jaime, Samuel, Enrique (Henry), and Miguel), the Parsons (John and William), the Witties (Arthur and Ernest), and the Shields (John and Thomas), most of whom belonged to a team known as Team Anglès, which consisted of members of the British colony living in Barcelona.
On 26 December 1899, three players with the last name Ball started for Team Anglès in a match at Bonanova against a combination of the best players of FC Barcelona and Català FC, which ended in a 1–2 loss, courtesy of a brace from the Barça founder Joan Gamper. The chronicle of this match appears in three local newspapers, two of which being identical since the author is Alberto Serra. In those three publications, the initials of two of the Balls are "J" and "F", his sons John and Frank, while the third member is more disparate, appearing as "A", "J.A." and "W", which does not suit anyone else from the Ball family, but it is most likely John the father, who was known in the city for his full name John Henry ("Enrique") Ball (J. E. Ball), so it was either a press mistake or the "A" is a reference to the street in which his company was domiciled, Ali Bei. Ball, who was 43, played in the midfield while his son John (16) was the goalkeeper and Frank, who was just 15, formed a defensive partnership with Henry W. Brown.
A year later, in 1900, J. Ball was registered with FC Barcelona to participate in the first edition of the Copa Macaya, which was the first football competition played on the Iberian Peninsula. In the end, however, Ball does not appear in any of the Barça lineups, and instead appears as a referee, overseeing the opening match of the tournament between FC Barcelona and Hispania AC on Sunday 20 January 1901, which was the first competitive match in Catalonia; it ended in a 2–1 victory to the latter thanks to a brace from the Hispania captain Gustavo Green. Coincidentally, the tournament's last match was also refereed by an Briton born in 1856, William Mauchan.
In the following year, on 6 January 1902, Ball refereed another match between Hispania AC and FC Barcelona, again the Copa Macaya, but this time at the Camp del Carrer Muntaner, which ended in a 4–2 victory for the visiting side thanks to goals from Alfonso Albéniz, Gamper, and John Parsons.
His son Frank went on to join FC Internacional, which was founded in 1901, for whom he played in three lesser tournaments organized by the Spanish Gymnastics Federation, the 1902 Medalla del Ayuntamiento between February and June 1902, in which he played all 12 games of the competition in the defensive position; the 1902 Copa Pergamino between September and November 1902 (during the festivities of La Mercè), which had been created for the clubs founded in the 1901–02 season, with Frank now as the captain of the team. Both of those tournaments were won by the second team of FC Barcelona, but then in the third tournament on 1 October 1902, in which only two clubs signed up, Internacional and RCD Espanyol, Frank kept a clean sheet to help his side to a 2–0 victory.
Later life
In 1905, his younger brother Walter Lawrence, then 12 years old, had found a metal object on the mountain of Montjuïc, and when he was handling it in Carrer de la Mercè, it exploded and he partially lost three fingers of the left hand. It was a fulminant of those used for work in quarries and mines.
Before the First World War, the Ball family returned to the United Kingdom. All of his sons married, except for Frank. Percy had his first daughter in Barcelona, David emigrated to the USA where he settled permanently. Walter married a Barcelona woman, Antònia Sànchez, with whom he had two children, John José and Julia Angela (it is unknown if Walter returned to the United Kingdom). Frank, Percy, and Charles enlisted in the British Army during the First World War. The date of his death is unknown.

René Ressejac-Duparc
|
René Ressejac-Duparc (28 September 1880 – 19 April 1941) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder and who competed in the 1900 Olympic Games, winning a silver medal as a member of the USFSA team, which was primarily Club Français players. With Club Français, he reached the finals of the 1900 Challenge International du Nord, and the 1899 and 1900 , and won the three consecutive times at the turn of the century between 1899 and 1901.
Playing career
Club career
Duparc began his career playing at U.S. Puteaux before joining Club Français when he was eighteen, in 1898. His mentor was said to be Club Français midfielder Alfred Bloch. On 29 April 1900, Club Français faced Le Havre AC in the final of the 1900 Challenge International du Nord at Tourcoing, which ended in a 2–3 loss. A match summary in L'Auto of a 16 October 1900 game wrote that he was a change to the team's midfield, but as "a good player who knows his job", it marked an improvement.
Duparc continued in the midfield when the team began competing in the Paris championship, the top-level division tournament, later that month, playing in all but one match (during which his absence, despite replacement, was noted). The team confidently won all their games. Continuing to see success in the tournament, L'Auto noted that Duparc was one of the youngest players on the team and that he showed a lot of promise but was already "a good player, very resistant, very tough". He played in the final against Standard Athletic Club, but was injured in the first half as the match ended in a 1–1 draw.
Duparc was also in the winning Club Français line-up, playing in each match, for the , which took place later in December. After winning the Coupe Manier, Club Français's first (including Duparc) and second teams played international friendlies against Croydon and their reserves. Duparc's performance in this match was praised, with his intelligent ball-passing in the first half said to break up Croydon attacks and his "beautiful" passes to the team's forwards in the second half often drawing applause; it ended in a 3–3 draw.
On 6 January 1901, Club Français faced Standard Athletic Club again, this time in the preliminary rounds of the 1901 Challenge International du Nord, which ended in a 0–1 loss. With the referee getting lost in the game, the play turned brutal, mostly perpetrated by Standard Athletic Club, who targeted the Club Français midfielders; Bloch was kicked so hard in the stomach that he had to go off, while Duparc along with Louis Bach and Cuny were "badly hit". Club Français wrote a letter of complaint to the football association. Duparc's misfortune continued; when travelling to compete in another match in January 1901, a group called la bande noire burgled him, taking his shoes and bag.
In the 1901 Championnat de Paris, Duparc began playing as a forward again, still with Club Français.
International career
Duparc was listed as a forward for the USFSA (French amateur) team, composed mostly of Club Français players, at the 1900 Olympic Games. He was not selected for the opening match against Upton Park on 20 September, which ended in a humiliating 0–4 loss, so Duparc was then picked up for the second match three days later, helping his side to a 6–2 victory over Belgium, which was mostly made up of students from the French-speaking Université libre de Bruxelles; the authors of four of these goals are unknown, so Duparc, who started as a forward alongside teammates Georges Garnier and Gaston Peltier, might have scored at least one of them. The French team came second and Duparc was thus awarded with a silver medal.
Death and legacy
Duparc died in Pornic on 19 April 1941, at the age of 60.
Duparc remained practically unknown and of uncertain identity for several decades since he was only cited in the database of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as a "medalist for France in football" in 1900. No first name and not the slightest additional information until the truth was uncovered by an investigation carried out by Stéphane Gachet from Nantes in the wake of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. By searching the database of the French Olympic Committee, he obtained a crucial additional initial R. Duparc, from which he ended up finding traces of a René Duparc, but he was then unable to find any trace of his places of birth and death. It was finally on a website presenting lists of genealogical records that Gachet discovered the existence of a René Ressejac-Duparc, who had been born in 1880, lived in Puteaux, and was employed at the Banque de France. He first linked Duparc to Loire-Atlantique through his mother, originally from Châteaubriant, but then he discovered the existence of a secondary house in Pornic, where he died in 1941, "perhaps to take refuge during the war?". Gachet then contacted his grandson, Patrick Ressejac-Duparc, who lived in Portugal with his wife, to tell him that his grandfather was an Olympic medalist.
This discovery was then made public with the publishing of the book "all the French medalists from 1896 to the present day" in December 2023, "a beautiful bible" of 623 pages with more than 300 photos.

René Eucher

Robert Antoine Eucher (14 June 1884 – 23 May 1940) was a French footballer who played as a forward in one match for the French national team in May 1908 and who was then selected as a member of the French B squad that competed in the football tournament at the 1908 Summer Olympics in October, but he did not play in any matches.
Biography
Eucher was born on 14 June 1884 in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, where he began his football career, playing for AS Française from 1907 to 1910. At the end of the 1907–08 season, he earned his first and only cap for the French national team in a friendly match against the Netherlands on 10 May 1908, at the age of 23, replacing Émile Sartorius, who had been retained in the North for his duties as an elector. France lost 1–4 with Eucher delivering a rather anonymous performance.
A few months later, in October, Eucher was a member of the French B squad that competed in the football tournament at the 1908 Summer Olympics, but he failed to feature in a single game as France B reached the semifinals.
In his civilian life, Eucher worked as a cashier and was called up to join the 101st Infantry Regiment. After his career, he joined the Havas agency in Paris. He died on 23 May 1940, at the age of 55.

Star Wars Kid: The Rise of the Digital Shadows () is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Mathieu Fournier and released in 2022. The film explores the concept of the digital shadow, or the traces of a person's past internet activity that can be recovered to follow them around for years or even decades later, through revisiting the story of Ghyslain Raza, a Canadian man who unwittingly became one of the first-ever viral videos as the "Star Wars Kid".
The film received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Biography or Arts Documentary Program or Series at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024.

Agnesi (company)
|
Agnesi is an Italian food company based in Fossano. It was founded in 1824.
History
Agnesi is the oldest pasta producer brand in history. It all began in 1824 with the purchase of a mill in Pontedassio by Paolo Battista Agnesi (1790–1863), which allowed him to grind 120 quintals of grains a day and directly produce pasta.
The introduction of new milling methods, learned in France by his son Giuseppe, made it possible to increase production and pushed the family to equip its own fleet of sailing ships to supply taganrog from Ukraine (which was then considered the best durum wheat in the world). For this reason the sailing ship will remain in the symbol of the company. Another large mill was also opened near the port of Oneglia to ensure a faster and more constant supply of raw materials; thus the Paolo Agnesi e Figli company was born.

Guido Dettoni della Grazia
|
Guido Dettoni della Grazia is an Italian visual artist and sculptor of sacred works. He has developed a following among pilgrims and private collectors who have collected his art since the 1960s. His Tau sculpture is in the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy, and it and MARIA have been featured in guide books and sites such as Lonely Planet Umbria, Rick Steves' Italy, and TripAdvisor. MARIA has been installed permanently at the Church of Saint Sulpice in Paris, the Church of Santa Maria Delle Rose in Assisi, and major churches in Austria (Jesuit Church of Innsbruck), the Czech Republic (Church of Our Lady of the Snows, Prague), France (Biennale of Contemporary Sacred Art), Germany (Old Saint Nicholas Church, Frankfurt), Italy, Portugal, Singapore, and Spain.
Early life and education
He was born in Milan, Italy, in 1945 to Maria della Grazia, a sculptor, and Franco Dettoni, an entrepreneur and inventor. He has a brother, Luca, and a sister, Parisina. As a child he played in the park at Milan's Castello Sforzesco, and his engagement with mud near a fountain inspired his first hand sculptures. What he calls "gameplay and joy" led him to create mud shapes that appeared and disappeared in his hands as he named them, and this hand-mold style continues in his work to this day in his style, "Handsmatter."
Dettoni attended a Jesuit school, Charles Borromeo, in Milan. One day when he was 14, he read the story of the Greek philosopher Bias of Priene in Cicero's Paradoxa Stoicorum. When Bias of Priene was asked why he was empty handed when fleeing the destruction of his city, he replied: omnia mea mecum porto (All that's mine I carry with me). Dettoni refers to this as his revelation.
Career
He moved from Italy to Germany at age 15, finding a job in a factory in Düsseldorf and studying with artists, working in traditional pencil before moving to color studies. In the 1960s he left Germany for Austria, and then spent time in Spain and Venezuela, settling for a time at the Art Workshop in Caracas. He refers to his unique sculptural style as "Handsmatter," which he developed in the 1970s. He created his first images of MARIA in 1995 with wax from Puebla, Mexico. He first exhibited this work in Barcelona in January, 1998.

Sorensenellinae
|
Sorensenellinae is a subfamily of harvestmen in the family Triaenonychidae created by Ray Forster. It includes genera from New Zealand and South Africa, but later phylogenetic studies do not support the inclusion of the South African taxa. The New Zealand genera are known to guard eggs and appear to be an example of paternal care.
Taxonomy
Sorensenellinae is a subfamily of harvestmen in the family Triaenonychidae and was created by Ray Forster in his 1954 monograph on New Zealand Laniatores. The subfamily includes four genera: Sorensenella and Karamea from New Zealand, and Roeweria (now Lawrencella) and Speleomontia from South Africa. Forster's spelling was Soerensenellinae, which he derived from Soerensenella, which was an incorrect spelling of the original name of Sorensenella.
Key features
Forster described members of this subfamily as having the third and fourth tarsal claws with strong lateral processes equal to, or larger than the median prong. Forster also noted the laying of eggs in a single group that is subsequently guarded by the female until they hatch.
Paternal care
While Forster reported that egg guarding by females is a feature of the Sorensenellinae, Glauco Machado observed that a photograph on p56 of Ray and Lyn Forster's book Spiders of New Zealand and their Worldwide Kin clearly showed a male specimen of Karamea guarding eggs, even though the caption states it is female. Based on Forster's statement of egg guarding behaviour across Sorensenellinae, Machado reasoned that paternal rather than maternal care was likely to be the rule in this subfamily.
Phylogenetics
Molecular studies using Sanger and ultra conserved element sequencing show Sorensenella forms a clade with its nearest relative Karamea, and these genera are estimated to have diverged from one another during the Cretaceous. While these studies affirm the close relationship between Soerensenella and Karamea, they do not support Forster's inclusion of Roeweria (now Lawrencella) and Speleomontia from South Africa in Sorensenellinae.

Albert Sullivan House
|
The Albert Sullivan House was a home, located at 4575 South Lake Park Avenue in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago's South Side from 1892 to 1970.
History
The two-storey brick and graystone townhouse was designed by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, of the architectural firm of Adler and Sullivan, and was originally intended for Sullivan's mother, who had died around the completion of the home's construction. Following the death of his mother, Sullivan lived in the house from 1892 until 1896, when his brother, Albert and his family moved in. The Sullivan family resided there until 1905.
In 1960, the Commission on Chicago Architectural Landmarks recognized the building as a Chicago Architectural Landmark. It was demolished in April 1970.
Architecture
The house, was constructed on a narrow lot (), as part of a stretch of row houses along South Lake Park Avenue. The building was set back from the sidewalk, and the front yard was enclosed within a simple, low iron fence. The bedford limestone street facade was relatively austere, reminiscent of Sullivan's James Charnley House, although the box cornice and decorative bay window on the second floor, were sheathed in ornamented copper. The vestibule had a mosaic floor, plaster walls, with a coved plaster cornice.

San Luis FC (Argentina)
|
San Luis Fútbol Club, also known as San Luis FC, is an Argentine women's football club founded in 2022 in the San Luis Province. It currently competes in the Primera División A. Juan Gilberto Funes is the club's home ground and it is based in the city of La Punta.
History
Origins
Since 2020, the Argentine Sports Confederation has discussed the possibility of a women's football team in the province, since since 2018 a women's football development plan had been carried out in which a San Luis Team participated and in 2022 the club was officially founded at the initiative of the government of San Luis. It is the first San Luis women's football team to officially compete in an AFA category. In April 2022 the team and coaching staff were presented at the "Ave Fénix" Center of Sports Development .
Debut and promotion to Second Division
The team's debut season was in Primera C 2022 in Zone A, their first match was against Berazategui, culminating in a 6–1 win in their favor at home. Mariana Alarcón was the author of the first official goal in the club's history.
They achieved promotion to the second category of Argentina on 3 December 2022, after the victory against Nueva Chicago. And on December 10, the Puntanas managed to become undefeated champions by defeating Talleres. Florencia Cordero was the team's top scorer with 22 goals.
Promotion to Primera División A
The official debut in the second division began on 19 March 2023 against Argentino de Quilmes where San Luis FC achieved the first victory in the category after winning 4–1. Promotion to the first division was achieved on November 5 after the 1–0 victory against Sarmiento with a goal from Nikol Laurnaga.
Intervention and disaffiliation
On 13 December 2023, an audit discovered a movement of 300 million pesos made by the Secretary of Sports of San Luis (and then president of the club), Cintia Ramírez, to the club, 2 days before the end of her position. As a result of this, the provincial government led by Claudio Poggi carried out an intervention that was going to last 3 months in the club at the beginning of investigations and Ramírez was criminally denounced for misappropriation of public funds. This intervention was against the regulations and Statute of the AFA, which through the Consejo Federal requested the Liga Sanluiseña to disaffiliate the club while it was intervened.
As a result of this situation, the team could not compete in the Copa Federal, where they had to face Boca Juniors on 31 January 2024.
Normalizing Committee
On 7 February 2024, the Government of San Luis decided to lift the intervention carried out in the club after reaching an agreement with the AFA and the Consejo Federal. On the 9th, the Consejo Federal sent a statement to the Liga Sanluiseña about the lifting of the sanction against the League and about the Normalizing Committee that the it will form to be in charge of the leadership of the club until its eventual elections.

Prophet Ishmael
|
Ishmael Chokurongerwa, referred to by himself and his followers as Prophet Ishmael, is a Zimbabwean religious leader and self-proclaimed apostolic prophet who is accused of child exploitation.
In 2024, Zimbabwean police raided a compound near Harare where Ishmael lived with around 1,000 followers, and discovered a total of 251 children, most of whom did not have birth certificates and who were being made to perform manual labor instead of attending school. There were 16 unregistered graves at the compound as well, seven of which belonged to infants. Ishmael and seven other followers were charged with crimes against children.
Some of Ishmael's followers have refused to abandon their beliefs. One woman said "We will never leave our religion. We are like an elephant, nothing can stop us. All those people fighting us are merchants of Satan."
The Prophet Ishmael sect shares features in common with other apostolic (also called Vapostori) churches, which have a large following in Southern Africa.
Ishmael was previously jailed in 2015 for leading an attack on police officers.

Diorama "Battle of the Dnieper"
|
The Diorama "Battle of the Dnieper" () is a diorama museum in the city of Dnipro, Ukraine. It's the biggest diorama in the country, among the biggest in the world, and the second largest in Europe. The Dnipro Bridgehead Memorial is situated from the regional center, where the actual Dnieper crossing can be viewed.
History
One of the biggest conflicts in global history was the Battle of the Dnieper. During the Great Patriotic War, it was a sequence of connected strategic maneuvers that happened along the banks of the river in the fall of 1943, from 26 September to 23 October. It was the first forced crossing of a strategically significant body of water. The left bank of the river was freed from the Wehrmacht as a consequence of offensive engagements fought in very challenging circumstances. The conflict had over four million participants on both sides, and the battlefront covered more than .
August 1971 saw the start of construction of the Diorama "Battle for the Dnieper" in the Dnipropetrovsk Historical Museum. On 23 February 1972, the Dnipropetrovsk City Council of Workers' Deputies gave their approval for the diorama to be built. The building took four years to complete, from 1971 to 1975.
In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Victory in Europe Day, the diorama "Battle for the Dnieper" in Dnepropetrovsk opened its doors on 7 May 1975. The diorama was produced by Nikolay Jakovlevitsj But and Mykola Vasyliovych Ovechkin, who are experts of war painting from the military art studio named after M.B. Grekov. An solid-woven canvas is situated within a structure created by architect Vladimir Zuyev.
The vicinity of the structure has been transformed into a monument commemorating the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014. An outdoor exhibition including destroyed cars and war remnants was set up to narrate the tale of Russia's takeover of Crimea in 2014. 2016 saw the opening of the first ATO Museum in Ukraine's internal and external exhibits. The museum was renovated in 2018.
Diorama and collections
The diorama is located close to a permanent exhibition of Soviet military equipment from World War I and the Great Patriotic War, including howitzers, tanks, and anti-aircraft weapons. Its collection includes tanks from World War II (T-34-85 and T-70), a surface-to-air missile system (S-125), a field gun (BS-3) and a BM-13 Katyusha rocket launcher based on the ZIS-151 chassis. The "Ways of Donbas" street exhibition replicates the ambiance of the War in Donbas. A destroyed BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle, a T-64 tank turret, a mortar, a damaged ambulance and pieces of the Donetsk airport's fortifications.
The impression of direct Soviet soldier presence in the location of the Dnieper storming is produced by the wide viewing radius (up to 230°; typically, the viewing angle of the dioramas is between 120° and 150°), a deep subject plan made up of the remnants of defensive structures, weapons, crossing facilities, and other military attributes, special lighting, and sound effects. The war's reports, letters, orders, and memoirs of the soldiers involved in the Dnieper crossing were examined in order to recreate both the overall vision and specific moments of the battle.

Iskendername
|
The İskendernâme (Epic of Alexander) is a poem by the Turkish poet Taceddin Ahmedi (1334–1413), completed in the early fifteenth century. It is the first work of Ottoman historiography and the first rendition of the Alexander Romance in Turkish.
The text begins with the life of Alexander (whose identity is intertwined with the Quranic figure of Dhu al-Qarnayn), before moving into describing the reigns of the long list of rulers succeeding him. Arriving at the Islamic era, a lengthy section describes the reign of Muhammad, followed by the first four caliphs, then the Umayyad Caliphate and then the Abbasid Caliphate. After this, Ahmedi describes the reign of the Mongols beginning with Genghis Khan and then the Ilkhanate (the Khanate established in the southwestern section of the Mongol Empire), their successors of the Mongol Jalayirid Sultanate, and finally the Ottoman rulers up until the accession of Mehmed I, the ruler of his own time when he completed the work.
Ahmedi was the most prolific Turkish poet of his time, and yet the İskendernâme was still his longest mathnawi, exceeding 8,000 couplets in length. The longest manuscript of the text of the seventy-five that are known, TY 921 located at at the Istanbul University Library, is 8,754 couplets kong. Ahmedi uses the Alexander legend "as a vehicle for delivering a series of discourses on theology, mysticism, philosophy, medicine, geography, astronomy, and other topics."
Context
Ahmedi began to write it during the reign of Bayezid I (r. 1389–1402), who suggested to Ahmedi that he should produce a translation of the Iskandarnameh of the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. Ahmedi turned the process into his own literary work and he intended to use it to convey to Bayezid that his wars should not be against fellow Muslim rulers in Anatolia but against Christians. When Bayezid died, Ahmedi continued to work on the text and altered his intention to instead dedicate it to the new ruler and the son of Bayezid, Emir Suleyman. Suleyman too, however, died before the work could be completed. Finally, once Mehmed I took the Ottoman throne and succeeded in eliminating all competitors in 1412, Ahmedi finally completed the text and dedicated it to him in the same year and presented it to him personally; he succeeded in finding favor with Mehmed and came into the service of the state. Mehmed had an appreciation for Greco-Roman classical culture and positively viewed how the İskendernâme depicted his state and the Ottomans as successors of Alexander the Great.

A large portion of the text is dedicated to conveying a world history, with the last and most important chapter (entitled the Tevârîh-i Mülûk-i âl-i ʿOsmân / Dastan ve Tevarihi Ali Osman / Dastan; "History of the Rulers of the House of Osman and Their Campaigns Against the Infidels") on the subject of the history of the Ottoman dynasty from Ertuğrul (father of the Osman I, founder of the Ottoman dynasty) until the accession of Mehmed I to the throne, detailing the heroic deeds and exploits of the rulers, overall running 334 couplets in length.
In the work, Ahmedi casts Suleyman as an ideal Perso-Islamic king but also frames his peace policy, resulting from his defeat at the hands of the Christian rulers of Rumelia, as that of his own choice as opposed to necessity. Likewise, he contrasts what he perceived to be the injustice of the Mongols (especially in light of the Mongol invasions of Muslim lands) with the early Ottomans, whom Ahmedi hails for their justice.
Genre
The İskendernâme is the earliest text in the Alexander Romance genre in the Turkish language and it is also the earliest surviving work of Ottoman historiography, composed a little over a century after the Ottoman Empire was born. It may also be designated as a chronicle, a work of the Mirror for Princes genre, or the first example of a destân (epic) used as a work of advice i.e. a naṣīḥatnāme (a type of book of advice for rulers).
Influence
Due to the influence of Ahmedi's İskendernâme, both his brother Hamzavī and another Ottoman Turkish poet writing towards the end of the fifteenth century, Ahmed Redvan, would compose their own İskendernâme.
Ahmedi's İskendernâme would also come to be incorporated into later Ottoman history books, including the anonymous Tevarihi Ali Osman (1485) and the 1561 edition of Neşri’s Cihannüma. It also immediately became the main reference for historians in Ahmedi's time and thereafter with respect to the first century of the Ottoman Empire.
Though criticized by 16th-century Turkish writers as a mere translation of the Iskandarnameh of Nizami, it is an original work which works within the outlines of earlier Alexander legends but also modifies them to convey its own ideas.
Editions
Ahmedī, İskender-nāme: İnceleme, Tıpkıbasım, ed. İsmail Ünver (Ankara: Türk Tarih Kurumu, 1983).
Currently the most up-to-date critical edition of this final chapter, including a transliteration, translation, analysis of textual variants and detailed glossary of words appearing in the text, was published by Kemal Silay in 1992.

Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978
|
The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) is federal legislation that had been enacted as a response to US natural gas shortages of 1976–77. It was enacted for the following motivations:
To create a balance between natural gas supply and demand,
Create a national gas market,
and transition to market-based prices.
The NGPA:
Authorized the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to regulate interstate and some intrastate natural gas production and transportation.
Was designed to encourage the development of new natural gas supplies by gradually deregulating wellhead gas prices.
Established maximum lawful prices (ceilings) for the sale of natural gas, which were phased out over a series of years, allowing market forces to set natural gas prices.
The Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) was the first building block in a plan from Jimmy Carter Administration to increase energy supply while reducing domestic consumption of energy.
In the 1970s, natural gas was persistently in short supply throughout the 1970s, largely because of following:
Wellhead price regulation
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo.
Based on this type of energy setting in the 1970s, Congress enacted the NGPA. The act was intended to raise natural gas rates to market clearing levels.

Operation Sankalp
|
Operation Sankalp is the Indian Navy's initiative aimed at ensuring the security of the regional maritime domain. The term Sankalp originates from Sanskrit and signifies the concept of "Commitment". It aligns with the Indian Navy's objective of safeguarding India's shipping interests and trade routes.
Launched on 19 June 2019, Op Sankalp primarily focused on guaranteeing the safe transit of Indian-flagged vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz amidst escalating security concerns in the area. The protection of India's commercial fleet and maritime commerce is emphasised as a significant goal within the Indian Navy's responsibilities. Due to the intricate nature of the mission and the global context in which Indian Naval vessels operate, Op Sankalp is being executed in the Indian Ocean Region through active engagement and meticulous coordination with the Indian Ministries of Defence, External Affairs, Shipping, Petroleum and Natural Gas, and the Directorate General of Shipping.
2024
Indian Navy Marine Commandos - MARCOS were deployed via IAF's C-17 aircraft in a rescue operation involving the Maltese-flagged bulk carrier vessel MV Ruen, which had been seized by Somalian pirates. The cargo vessel was taken near the Yemeni island of Socotra in December 2023 and was located approximately 2600 km away from the Indian Coast. This successful counter-piracy operation received assistance from the Indian warship INS Subhadra, INS Kolkata, High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE RPA) drones, and a P8I maritime patrol aircraft. The “high tempo” mission aboard merchant vessel lasting for about 40 hours concluded by safely evacuating 17 crew members and compelling 35 pirates to surrender on 16 March 2024.

Marie (Sleepy Hallow song)
|
"Marie" is a single by American rapper Sleepy Hallow, released on November 2, 2022, with an accompanying music video. It was produced by Great John.

The production uses a lo-fi guitar sound and a vocal sample, over which Sleepy Hallow performs in a melodic flow and details his love for a woman named Marie. In the intro, he asks listeners to join him in his emotional journey. In the chorus, Sleepy Hallow describes that Marie is only into real and unique things and does not waste her time, and expresses his worries that if it were not for his success, she would not be interested in him. The first verse is about his suggestion that they run away together to escape their problems and Marie turning down his offer as their love is already strong, which he agrees to. The second verse finds Sleepy Hallow drinking alcohol to relieve his pain and leaving Marie waiting for him at home. She is dissatisfied and he knows he needs to make amends.

Torture during the Israel–Hamas war
|
During the Israel–Hamas war, the systematic torture of Palestinians by Israel was reported by the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and several Israeli nonprofit organizations. Israel was accused of sexual violence against both male and female Palestinian detainees, as well as torturing United Nations staff in order to extract forced confessions. There were further reports of the Israeli torture of accused militants. In response, Shin Bet officials stated they conduct militant interrogations within the Israeli legal framework, which allows torture only under specific circumstances.
Background
Torture, ill-treatment, and sexual violence of detained Palestinians by Israel, have been reportedly prevalent for years before the 7 October attacks and invasion of Gaza, with documentation recorded by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) and Amnesty International. There has been extensive of sexual violence against both male and female detainees, with the most notable case of imprisoned Lebanese Amal leader Mustafa Dirani who sued Israel on the claim of rape.
NGO reports of Israeli torture
Amnesty International
On November 8, Amnesty International reported on cases of torture and degrading treatment by Israeli authorities, which it described as "horrifying", "gruesome", and "a particularly chilling public display of torture and humiliation of Palestinian detainees." Amnesty's Secretary General, Agnès Callamard, stated, "Arbitrary detention and torture and other ill-treatment are war crimes when committed against protected persons in an occupied territory."
United Nations
The United Nations Human Rights Office in the occupied Palestinian territories called for an investigation into allegations of torture. In a statement, the Office said: "The massive rise in number of Palestinians arrested and detained, the number of reports of ill-treatment and humiliation suffered by those in custody, and the reported failure to adhere to basic due process raise serious questions about Israel's compliance with international humanitarian law and international human rights law." On 19 January 2024, the Human Rights Office stated they had interviewed detainees who "described being beaten, humiliated, subjected to ill-treatment, and to what may amount to torture... consistent with reports our Office has been gathering of the detention of Palestinians on a broad scale." On 19 January 2024, Ajith Sunghay, a Human Rights Office official stated, "There are reports of men who are subsequently released but only in diapers without any adequate clothing in this cold weather."
In March 2024, a UNRWA report reported "countless" instances of torture documented in Israeli prisons, including beatings and sexual assault. The UN stated that Israel had tortured its employees to extract forced confessions.
Israeli NGOs
The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) stated that there was a "lot of evidence of cases of violence and cruel and humiliating treatment by prison guards", and called for an investigation into the deaths of detainees in Israeli custody. PCATI stated they had documented nine clear instances of torture, including sexual violence. Addameer reported that prisoners remained blindfolded and handcuffed during their detention and people were being killed in the military camps. Adalah reported, "We’re seeing really widespread and systemic use of many, many tools in order to inflict torture and ill-treatment on Palestinians".
Human Rights Watch
On 3 January 2024, Human Rights Watch reported that Palestinian workers from Gaza detained in Israel since October 7 had been photographed naked, attacked by dogs, and dragged faced down in the gravel.
Other reports
In a report on allegations of torture in Israeli prisons, Euro-Med Monitor stated prisoners were being treated like animals. The Wall Street Journal found detainees underwent psychological and physical abuse, including beatings during interrogations. The Commission for Detainees' Affairs alleged that prisoners and detainees were subject to bans on going outside, confiscation of belongings, reduction in food, torture and beatings, and deprivation of medical attention by Israeli authorities. A Defence for Children International report included the testimony of an incarcerated child who stated, "Around 18 children were severely beaten, screaming in pain. I saw police dogs attacking them, bleeding from the mouth and head."
In December 2023, the New York Times reported that Israel had interrogated medical personnel in Gaza under duress. Gaza’s Ministry of Health similarly stated that Israeli interrogations of hospital staff were conducted "under duress".
Reports from individuals
Doctors reported humiliation, beatings, and being forced to kneel for hours. One released man from Shuja'iyya, Gaza City reported beatings, stating that a female Israeli soldier would beat a 72-year-old man. Another stated soldiers forced detainees to bark like dogs. Another twenty-year-old man detained in the West Bank stated that he was blindfolded, beaten, burned with a cigarette, and treated "like an animal". Three brothers detained from the Gaza Strip described similar treatment in Israel prison, stating they were beaten, stripped to their underwear, and burnt with cigarettes. One released man stated, "They let dogs urinate on us and shoved sand on us. They threatened to shoot us." Others described both physical and psychological torture. Five men reported being tortured over ten hours, including being beaten and submerged in cold water. One man stated that Palestinian prisoners were being "tortured relentlessly". He stated the detainees had been starved for three days.
Torture of United Nations staff
According to February 2024 UNRWA report, Israeli officials detained and tortured UN staff, coercing them into falsely stating that agency staff had participated in the 7 October attack. The allegations of torture came from staff who stated they were forced to make confessions under torture and ill-treatment, including "beatings, sleep deprivation, sexual abuse and threats of sexual violence against both men and women" in Israeli detention. Detainees reported being stripped down to their underwear and forced completely naked. The report found that UN staff were "pressured to make false statements against the Agency, including that the Agency has affiliations with Hamas and that UNRWA staff members took part in the 7 October 2023 atrocities" through beatings, waterboarding, and threats to their families.
In a statement, the UNRWA communications director stated, "When the war comes to an end there needs to be a series of inquiries to look into all violations of human rights". The Israel Defense Forces stated it was investigating "complaints of inappropriate behavior".
In response to the report, the World Organisation Against Torture condemned Israel, stating, "Both torture and the use of any such information violates the UN Convention Against Torture".
Torture of militants during interrogation
Numerous Palestinian detainees have reported torture during interrogations by Israeli forces, which has raised significant alarm among international human rights groups such as Amnesty International. One detainee told Amnesty that Israeli interrogators beat him severely, resulting in three broken ribs, and ordered Palestinian detainees to "praise Israel and curse Hamas". Dr. Shai Gortler, who studies incarceration and torture, stated that Shin Bet allows media exposure "to put forward its own narrative about its actions, torture included", among other reasons.
The Associated Press analyzed six interrogation videos released by Israel and said the militants may have been speaking under duress. In the videos, the militants appear to be bloodied and wincing in pain. Likewise, on 29 October, an article in Global News said some of the confession videos of Hamas militants could have been produced under duress. AP additionally found that a confession video Israel released showed the captured militant was speaking "clearly under duress".
Public Committee Against Torture in Israel stated Shin Bet uses extreme heat and cold, sleep deprivation and stress positions during interrogations. In an analysis, NBC News stated that in one of the confession videos, the militant had blood on his shirt and bruises on his face, which Israel stated came from capture in combat. In November 2023, a Palestinian man (accused by Israel to be a militant) was released as part of the prisoner exchange and said he was repeatedly asked by Israeli soldiers to make confessions with "a gun to his face".
Accusations of war crimes
Israeli explanations
In November 2023, Shin Bet said they have conducted interrogations under strict legal frameworks, aiming to gather confessions and intelligence for immediate and future use. The interrogation settings, as reported, were intense, with the suspects often bound and held in improvised facilities. They cited a 1999 Israeli Supreme Court ruling that prohibited torture except for a “ticking bomb” scenario.

Sadd-i Iskandari
|
The Sadd-i Iskandarī (Alexander's Wall) composed by Ali-Shir Nava'i (1441–1501) in the second half of the fifteenth century, and is the only rendition of the Alexander Romance in Chagatai Turkish. Other and earlier Turkish-language Alexander legends did however exist, such as Taceddin Ahmedi's Iskendername.
The name of Nava'i's work is a reminder of the story of Dhu al-Qarnayn, whom Nava'i believes to be Alexander the Great. As described in the Quran, Dhu al-Qarnayn (Alexander) is entrusted by God to build a wall sealing away the apocalyptic tribes Gog and Magog. The text proceeds in four main parts:
The Andarz section, involving a general discussion of aspirations, aims, and ideals.
The Ḥikāyat section, involving a story of the beggar-king.
The Ḥikmat section, where Alexander converses with Aristotle regarding the best way to achieve one's aim.
The Dāstān section, involving a biography of Alexander
The Sadd-i Iskandari was a section of a larger text that acted as the equivalent of Nava'i's own version of Nizami Ganjavi's Khamsa. More specifically, the Sadd-i Iskandari was his version of Nizami's Iskandarnameh, and it was composed in the same meter (mutaqārib) as Nizami's. Nava'i composed his text roughly the same time, though slightly after, the Persian poet Jami completed his own Kherad-nâme (Book of Alexandrian Intelligence), which influenced Nava'i's text. The two poets had a close relationship, and Nava'i was the disciple of Jami. In Nava'i's own Khamsa, he acknowledges the influence of his teacher in the prologue of each mathnawi.

Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act
|
The Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act (FUA) was an act enacted in 1978 by the U.S. Congress which prohibited:
The use of natural gas or petroleum as an energy source in any new electric power plant; and
Construction of any new electric power plant without the capability to use coal or any alternate fuel as a primary energy source.
It prohibited the use of natural gas or petroleum as the primary energy source in a new major fuel-burning installation (MFBI) consisting of a boiler.
The legislation was part of the National Energy Plan of President Jimmy Carter.
Objectives
The major purposes of the FUA program were:
To reduce the importation of petroleum.
Increase the nation's use of indigenous energy resources.
To conserve natural gas and petroleum and minimize their use as primary energy source.
To foster greater use of coal.
To encourage the use of synthetic fuels.
To reduce the vulnerability of the US to energy-supply interruptions.
Source:
Criticism
Due to the requirements of coal as one source of fuel for energy power plants, environmentalists expressed the concern about power plants burning more coal without the imposition of stricter sulphur dioxide emission controls, because that this could increase the risk the acid rain.

Terbinafine/betamethasone acetate
|
Terbinafine/betamethasone acetate, sold under the brand name Duotic is a veterinary medication used for the treatment of otitis externa (ear infections) in dogs. It is a fixed dose combination of terbinafine, an antifungal; and betamethasone acetate, a glucocorticosteroid anti-inflammatory.
The combination is the first FDA-approved animal drug intended to treat yeast-only otitis externa in dogs. It is also the first otic drug intended to treat otitis externa that does not contain an antibiotic.
Terbinafine/betamethasone acetate was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2024.
Veterinary uses
Terbinafine/betamethasone acetate is indicated for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs, associated with susceptible strains of yeast (Malassezia pachydermatis).

Marc L'Huillier (born September 26, 1971) is an American-born Australian former international rugby union player.
L'Huillier was born in Chicago, Illinois, to an Australian father and English mother. His father, Leon L'Huillier, was working in Chicago as a consultant and would later serve on the board of Woolworths. Raised in Australia, L'Huillier played his rugby as a prop and was a Victorian state representative player, before joining Sydney University.
An American passport holder, L'Huillier was invited to play for the United States national team in their tour match against Queensland when they visited Australia in 1999. He then traveled with the team to the UK and made his Test debut off the bench in a heavy loss to England at Twickenham.

SepPure Technologies

SepPure Technologies is a Membrane Technology company based in Singapore and Canada. The company focuses on chemical-resistant hollow fibre membranes for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) solutions designed to separate chemical mixtures at the molecular level with minimal energy use. With its technology, SepPure aims to address the significant energy expenditure associated with industrial-scale chemical separation processes across various sectors such as vegetable oil, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical, and further oil industries, which currently accounts for up to 15% of the world's total energy consumption.
Background
Industrial-scale chemical separation processes have traditionally been associated with economic and environmental inefficiencies. Conventional methods such as distillation and evaporation heavily rely on the combustion of fossil fuels for energy, leading to substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and pollution. SepPure, therefore, aims to mitigate these challenges by developing industrial separation technologies that reduce dependency on traditional methods.
History
SepPure's Founder and CEO, Dr. Mohammad Farahani, founded SepPure Pte. Ltd in 2018 to commercialise the technology he developed while doing his PhD at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
The Singapore government, committed to foster DeepTech innovation, became interested in the technology and backed the company further through its investment arm, SGInnovate, subsequently attracting Venture Capital (VC) investors to commercialise the technology.
In 2021, SepPure received a grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta to apply its technology in a vegetable oil refining facility in Alberta, Canada. Emissions Reductions Alberta (ERA), a Canadian government agency, collaborates with SepPure to assist in emissions reduction within Alberta's canola oil processing industry which contributes approximately one-third of Canada's total canola oil production. In the same year, two agreements were concurrently reached in Singapore for the construction of two membrane-based vegetable oil processing plants on a semi-industrial scale.
By February 2023, the company's momentum accelerated with further support from SOSV, which then attracted further notable investors including Anji Microelectronics, EPSA Ventures, Real Tech, and SEEDS Capital, the investment arm of Enterprise Singapore.
SepPure Technologies is also backed by ID Capital, an investment and advisory firm based in Singapore, specialising in AgriFoodTech, and the driving force behind the Future Food Asia platform.
Products
SepPure Technologies offers a range of products as alternatives to traditional methods, promoting sustainability and efficiency in chemical separation processes.

Collage (Paul Revere and the Raiders album)
|
Collage is the twelfth studio album by Paul Revere and the Raiders (listed as "Raiders" on the sleeve), released in 1970.
Background
In an effort to update the band's sound and image, the name of the group was officially shortened to The Raiders on this and subsequent albums. The album received a glowing review from Rolling Stone magazine critic Lenny Kaye, who singled out singer Mark Lindsay for praise: "[He] never fails to give the impression that he knows what he's doing. Almost single-handedly, he's brought the Raiders to a stronger position than they've occupied in years". Despite the review, Collage proved to be a commercial failure (#154 on the Billboard 200) and Lindsay began to turn toward solo projects.
Three singles were released from Collage: "We Gotta All Get Together"; "Just Seventeen"; and "Gone Movin' On", which was a re-recorded version of a track from the group's 1967 album Revolution!. "We Gotta All Get Together", written by guitarist Freddy Weller, peaked at No. 6 in Canada and reached No. 25 in the United States. Neither of the other two singles cracked the Top 40.
