Local elections were held throughout Kosovo on 28 October 2000, organized by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). This was the first local electoral cycle held in Kosovo after the start of the UNMIK mandate in 1999. The 2000 local elections were held for municipal assemblies under a system of proportional representation. Once the municipal assemblies were constituted, the elected representatives in each jurisdiction selected an assembly president, who was recognized as having the rank of mayor. The Serb community of Kosovo generally boycotted the vote. Local Serb leaders expressed concern that security conditions had not improved to the point where Serbs could safely return to their homes; Dragiša Milović, acting as a spokesperson for Oliver Ivanović, said that Serbs in northern Kosovo would "[would] not register or take part in the vote until Serbs start returning to Kosovo in bigger numbers." A Council of Europe report indicated that Serb non-participation was the "main drawback of the elections," blaming the situation in part on "pressure brought to bear by Belgrade." The fall of Slobodan Milošević's government, which took place in the middle of the campaign, was described as occurring too late to effect any change in this situation. Results Mitrovica District Leposavić The results in Leposavić, a predominantly Serb community, were not certified due to low turnout. No Serb parties participated in the election. Mitrovica Faruk Spahija of the Democratic League of Kosovo was chosen as mayor after the election. Skenderaj Incumbent mayor Ramadan Gashi of the Democratic Party of Kosovo was confirmed for another term in office after the election. Vushtrri Incumbent mayor Xhemalj Pllani of the Democratic Party of Kosovo remained in office until 2001, when he was replaced by Hajzer Krasniqi of the Democratic League of Kosovo. Krasniqi was required to resign for health reasons in later in the year and was replaced by Muharrem Shabani, also of the Democratic League of Kosovo. Zubin Potok The results in Zubin Potok, a predominantly Serb community, were not certified due to low turnout. No Serb parties participated in the election. Zvečan The results in Zvečan, a predominantly Serb community, were not certified due to low turnout. No Serb parties participated in the election. Source: Subsequent developments Following the results, and in light of the Serb boycott, UNMIK leader Bernard Kouchner indicated that he would appoint Serb representatives to councils in predominantly Serb areas. Objections were raised from some community leaders, including the serving mayors of Leposavić, Zubin Potok, Zvečan, and Kosovska Mitrovica (as chosen by the local assemblies elected in the 1996 Serbian local elections). Notwithstanding this, functional local administrations were established by UNMIK in the Serb communities. Nenad Radosavljević, the leader of the Serbian National Council in Leposavić until his removal in mid-2000, became mayor in that community. He stood down from the role partway through his term. Online sources do not indicate if the position was filled; Nebojša Radulović served as deputy mayor and may have been acting mayor. In Zubin Potok, Slaviša Ristić of the Democratic Party of Serbia was selected by the assembly as mayor. Desimir Petković, who had served as mayor of Zvečan prior to the elections, was confirmed for another term in office afterwards. Nikola Radović, the former mayor of Kosovska Mitrovica in the Serbian system, served as mayor in North Mitrovica for a time. In late 2002, control of the North Mitrovica municipal administration was handed over to UNMIK on a temporary basis.

Luisa Weiss (born 1977) is an Italian-American writer and translator based in Berlin. Raised between Germany and the United States, Weiss was employed as a literary scout and cookbook editor in New York where, in 2005, she started the food blog The Wednesday Chef. She has written two books, My Berlin Kitchen (2012), a memoir, and the well-received cookbook Classic German Baking (2016). Early life Luisa Weiss was born in West Berlin in 1977 to an Italian mother, Letizia Cosentino Weiss, who worked as a translator, and a Jewish American father, , who taught mathematics. Weiss's parents divorced when she was three years old, and she subsequently moved to the United States with her father and settled in Boston, Massachusetts. Weiss went to school in Brookline and spent her vacations with her mother in Berlin and family in Italy. At the age of ten, Weiss moved back to Berlin, where she received her middle and high school education and started gathering clippings of recipes she would test in the kitchen. She later studied at Tufts University in Massachusetts, where her father is presently a professor of mathematics. Career After graduating from university and spending a year in Paris for graduate school, Weiss moved to New York where she would work in the publishing industry for the next decade. Weiss was employed as a literary scout at Bettina Schrewe and later became senior editor at Stewart, Tabori & Chang, a publisher whose acquisitions focused on cookbooks and books on crafts. After ending a long-term relationship, in 2010 Weiss returned to Berlin to live with her future husband and write full-time. The Wednesday Chef Inspired by the work of food bloggers such as Julie Powell, who documented her experiences cooking all the recipes in a Julia Child cookbook within a year, Weiss started The Wednesday Chef in 2005 to blog her experience making all the recipes she clipped from newspapers over past years. The title of her blog was inspired by the fact that American newspapers have traditionally published their food columns on Wednesdays. In 2009, Times Online featured The Wednesday Chef on a list of their favourite food blogs. My Berlin Kitchen Weiss published a memoir, My Berlin Kitchen, with Viking Press in 2012. The book covers Weiss's childhood spent with parents residing in separate countries, her career in the New York publishing industry, and life since moving to Berlin. At the end of each chapter the reader is presented with a recipe for a food previously mentioned in the text—German, Italian, and American dishes representing the places Weiss has lived. Booklist reviewer Allison Block, in a starred review of My Berlin Kitchen, said it was "a heartwarming (and often mouth-watering) memoir" with appeal to both foodies and non-foodies and chapters "brimming with colorful cooking tales and savory recipes." Sue White of Library Journal recommended the book, calling it a "charming" food memoir suitable for those who enjoy the works of Laurie Colwin or M.F.K. Fisher. Kirkus Reviews, however, stated that much of its prose often "violated the show-don't-tell rule of writing" and thought that the "often-clunky" writing of recipes usually led to "queasy" descriptions of food; criticism was also directed at the inclusion of rudimentary or overly complicated recipes and those with ingredients not accessible to most Americans. Classic German Baking Classic German Baking was first published in 2016 by Ten Speed Press. The cookbook contains a hundred recipes of traditional baked goods, ranging from butter cookies, to cakes, strudels, tortes, and Christmas cookies, written with consideration to American home kitchens and ingredients. Weiss was motivated to write the book as she felt like there was a deficit of German baking cookbooks in the American market despite the country's large German immigrant population. She described the recipe-gathering process as a two-year effort that involved investigating antique cookbooks, then consulting friends and family, and corroborating her research using the internet. The Washington Post and The New York Times placed Classic German Baking on their lists of 2016's best cookbooks. Oliver Strand, writing for Vogue, called the book a "gorgeous" introduction to German baking culture, while Los Angeles Times food editor Amy Scattergood credited Weiss for writing a "not only useful and instructive but charming" cookbook. Sharon Kebschull Barrett of the New York Journal of Books praised the book's "careful, concise" cooking directions and had only "mild complaints", including a desire for more explanatory photos, an issue they felt the precision of the directions compensated for. Other work Weiss was a columnist for Harper's Bazaar Germany from 2014 to 2017. Personal life Weiss lives in Berlin with her husband Max Beuchel, who works for Volkswagen, and their children.

Kevin Taylor (born June 11, 1974) is an American serial killer and rapist who strangled four prostitutes in Chicago's Southside from June to August 2001, later discarding their bodies inside abandoned structures. After a would be fifth victim survived and identified him, Taylor was arrested and sentenced to multiple life terms in 2006. Early life Taylor was born on June 11, 1974. Throughout his childhood, he was placed in numerous foster homes, as his mother was a convicted drug addict and his father was a convict. Taylor lodged his first arrest in 1993 for burglary, for which he was sent to serve four years in prison. In 1999, he was convicted for the unlawful use of a weapon. In December 2000 he was granted work at a Cheesecake Factory on North Michigan Avenue, where he started working as a cook. By the summer of 2001, Taylor was living with his girlfriend and his two children in Edwardsville. Murders Taylor, an avid frequenter of prostitutes, chose them as his murder victims. He would approach his would-be victims and make arrangements to meet up and have sex. He would then take them to secluded locations and would proceed to get into drug-induced arguments about the cost of sex, which resulted in him strangling them to death. Between June and August 2001, he attacked five women, and in total killed four of them: Ola Mae Wallace (39): body discovered on June 25, 2001, inside an alleyway along North Sheridan Road. Diane Jordan (42): body discovered in an alleyway on July 10, 2001, in the 1400 block on North Mohawk Street. Phyllis Robinson (38): attacked and strangled on July 27, 2001. She was not sexually assaulted and is the only victim to have survived Taylor. Cynthia Hawk (38): body discovered inside a trash can in an alley on July 29, 2001, at 1150 N. LaSalle Street. Bernadine Blunt (39): body discovered on August 18, 2001, inside an abandoned building at 331 E. Kensington Ave. Investigation and arrest By early August 2001, police in Chicago's south side had been investigating the deaths of up to 18 women involved with prostitution dating back to the 1990s. When police were examining the body of Blunt, they discovered a timecard underneath her, which contained Taylor's name, and he was arrested on August 20. By this time, the four murders were suspected to be linked, and police sought to question the only surviving victim of the killer, who was Robinson. In a police line-up, Robinson identified Taylor as the man who attacked her. Upon this, Taylor admitted that he had been responsible for all five crimes. His arrest surprised just about everyone who knew him. Larry Jones, a friend of Taylor's girlfriend, told the Chicago Tribune that "He just didn’t do all the things they say he did. I went to church today to pray for him. I hope he gets through this alright." Trials and imprisonment In January 2006, Taylor's trial for one of the murders, that of Cynthia Halk, was opened, and he was later convicted and given a 50-year sentence. His trial for the three other murders began later that year, and he pleaded guilty to avoid a possible death sentence. In the end, he was convicted once again, receiving a sentence of life imprisonment without parole. As of 2022, Taylor is incarcerated at Menard Correctional Center in Chester, Illinois, under the identification number B52807.

Heinrich Thannhauser (born February 16, 1859 in Hürben, today a district of Krumbach (Swabia); died 1934 on the German-Swiss border) was a German gallery owner and art collector. As an art dealer, he was one of the most important promoters of early Expressionist art in Germany. Life The Jewish Thannhauser family came from Mönchsdeggingen. Heinrich Thannhauser first learned the profession of a tailor. He founded his Munich Modern Gallery (Moderne Galerie)in 1904. At first he exhibited the artworks of French Impressionists such as Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Paul Gauguin. Later works by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were added. In 1909, Thannhauser separated from his partner Franz Josef Brakl and continued to run the gallery under the name Galerie Thannhauser. The first exhibition of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München took place in the Arco-Palais in the same year. In 1911 he began collaborating with Der Blaue Reiter. In 1918 he had himself painted in Berlin simultaneously by Lovis Corinth and by Max Liebermann; the one he sat for a portrait in the morning, the other in the afternoon. In 1920 his nephew Siegfried Rosengart opened a branch of the gallery in New York. In 1934 in attempting to flee from the Nazis to Switzerland, Thannhauser died of a stroke at the border. Family His son Justin Thannhauser, who was also an art dealer, established branches in Lucerne (1919) and Berlin (1927). The parent company in the Arco-Palais, Theatinerstraße 7 in Munich, was dissolved in 1928. In 1937, the National Socialists confiscated the holdings. Justin Thannhauser emigrated to Paris, where he ran a gallery until 1941. Its inventory of artworks was confiscated during the Nazi occupation of Paris. Justin Thannhauser managed to escape to New York, where he continued to deal in art. In 1963 Justin Thannhauser donated his private collection as well as that of his father, Heinrich, to the Guggenheim Museum, New York, where a room commemorates him. Heinrich Thannhauser's daughter, Trude Thannhauser Beyer, also collected art. Literature Mario-Andreas von Lüttichau: Die Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in München.

The name was later replaced with the Melinting dance which refers to the origin of this dance, namely the Melinting area. The name change was at the suggestion of President Soekarno who asked the Central Lampung Regional Government to perform the dance at Istora Senayan Jakarta on August 17, 1965. Melinting is a dance inherited from Ratu Melinting which is estimated to have existed in the sixteenth century. This dance is performed at traditional events when welcoming guests, and the dancers are members of the Queen's family or Melinting nobles. This dance was danced outside a traditional event for the first time in 1930 in Teluk Betung at the invitation of the Resident of Lampung to Pesirah Marga in Lampung. History The melinting dance originates from Lampung, and is thought to have developed since Islam gained a large following in Indonesia. However, this dance is not widely known even from the people of Lampung itself. This dance is one of the relics of the Melinting Kingdom which was created by Ratu Melinting II in the 16th century. This dance has a meaning to show how people are grateful for the happiness they have received. In addition, this dance also illustrates the might and majesty of Ratu Meliting in leading the kingdom at that time. Before undergoing a refinement change in 1958, the Melinting Lampung dance was absolutely owned by the royal family of the Queen Melinting Family. Performance Form and Movement The movements in dancing are divided into two based on gender, namely male and female. This dance is usually danced by women and men with a total of 8 dancers consisting of 4 men and 4 women. When dancing, the dancers will be divided into several rounds, namely the opening round (Pembuka), the kugowo queen round, the floating kenui round, and the closing round (Penutup). Outfit Islam makes a contribution that affects how the dance properties are. The Melinting dance costume for men consists of tapis cloth, belanga shirt, seretei feathers (Bulu seretei), a fan with free colors, and gold Skullcap Meanwhile, the Melinting dance properties for women consist of tapis pepadun, long-sleeved white kebaya shirt, bun, singer rolling a yellow veil, jukum fruit, fan with free colors and ruwi bracelet. In addition to property, make-up is very important for Melinting dancers to create the right dancer's face, make-up will have an influence on how the atmosphere is right for dancing the dance. Music Melinting dance uses various musical accompaniments typical of the people of Lampung, one of which is Kalo Bala. Besides Kalo Bala, the accompaniment of this dance also often uses kendang, gongs, gamelan, fiddle, and various other musical instruments. The purpose of the musical accompaniment in the Melinting dance is: Opening dance Accompanying the dancers into the performance arena As a sign of respect for the guests present See also Gending Sriwijaya Dance in Indonesia References Dances of Indonesia

George Foster Wheeler (December 23, 1824April 25, 1903) was an American businessman, politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He served as prison commissioner of Wisconsin from 1870 to 1874. He also served four years in the Wisconsin State Senate, and was sheriff of Fond du Lac County. Biography George Wheeler was born in New Haven, Vermont, on December 23, 1824. He was educated in the common schools of that area and attended the Middlebury Academy in Middlebury, Vermont. As a young man, he went to work at a wool mill in Middlebury, working his way up from laboring to become a partner in the ownership of the mill. In 1854, he decided to move west to the new state of Wisconsin. He traveled there and purchased a farm in Springvale, Fond du Lac County. He was a staunch Republican since the organization of that party in the 1850s. As a Republican, he was elected to the town board and served as town chairman in 1859. The next year, he was elected sheriff of Fond du Lac County. While serving as sheriff, he also enrolled in the Wisconsin militia due to the outbreak of the American Civil War, though he did not volunteer for federal service. He was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 1863 and 1865, serving four years, and was elected by his colleagues as president pro tempore of the Senate for the 1867 session. In 1869, he was appointed deputy U.S. marshal for Wisconsin, and later that year he was elected state prison commissioner. He was re-elected to another two-year term in 1871. The office was abolished at the end of his second term, replaced by a panel of three commissioners appointed by the governor. After leaving office, he retired from political life and focused on his business career. He became a partner in a manufacturing company known as Althouse, Wheeler & Co., and remained a shareholder of the company until his death. He also became invested in the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and served on the board of trustees until his death—he was considered an expert in farm value securities. He was also an investor in the First National Bank of Waupun, where he was appointed cashier in 1887, and later became president. After an illness, Wheeler took a trip to California to try to improve his health. He died in Los Angeles, California, on April 25, 1903. Personal life and family George F. Wheeler was one of twelve children born to Moses F. and Mary A. Wheeler ( Perry). Moses Wheeler was a soldier in the War of 1812 and owned a farm in New Haven, Vermont. George F. Wheeler was married twice. His first wife was Sara C. Enos of Vermont; they were wed on December 26, 1849. After 31 years of marriage, Sara Wheeler died in October 1881. Two years later, George Wheeler married the widow Helen M. S. Capron ( Sinclair), who survived him. George Wheeler had no known children. Wheeler was also active in Freemasonry, and was described as a close friend of Wisconsin's Philetus Sawyer (U.S. senator 1881–1893).

The siege of Palermo took place between 27 and 30 May 1860 in Palermo, Sicily, during the Expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi against the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as part of the Italian unification wars. Battle On May 27, although with only about 750 men able to fight, along with some 3,000 picciotti (Sicilian volunteer guerrillas), Garibaldi attacked the Sicilian capital of Palermo, held by a garrison of 18,000 to 22,000 Neapolitan Army soldiers under the incompetent command of General Ferdinando Lanza. A significant portion of the 180,000 residents of Palermo rallied to Garibaldi, including some 2,000 prisoners released from local jails. On the first day of fighting, the Neapolitan forces were driven back from a number of key positions. Lanza then ordered the shelling of the part of the city that had been captured by Garibaldi's forces, causing the death of around 600 civilians over the remaining of the siege. By May 28, Garibaldi controlled much of Palermo, and the next day his volunteers repealed a Neapolitan counterattack. However, with the arrival of two battalions of well-trained Bavarian mercenaries in the service of the Bourbon government, the battle turned against Garibaldi, whose troops were nearly out of ammunition. He was saved by Lanza's decision to surrender, on 30 May. Garibaldi sent his son Menotti to watch the surrender of the Neapolitan garrison, and an armistice was quickly arranged by British admiral Rodney Mundy. Finally, a convention on 6 June arranged for the withdrawal by sea of about 22,000 Bourbon troops, on 19 June.

Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters was an American variety show starring American country artist Barbara Mandrell, along with her sisters Irlene Mandrell and Louise Mandrell. The show ran for two seasons on the NBC network between November 1980 and June 1982. The program mixed both music and comedy sketches. The siblings often engaged in sketches involving their family relationship. The music of the show featured the sisters singing and playing a variety of musical instruments. Guest performers were also a part of every show. The show ended its run after Mandrell decided to step away due to the constant workload. Background Barbara Mandrell was considered by writers to be one of country music's most successful music artists during the late 1970s and early 1980s. She had a series of number one and top ten country singles, many of which crossed over onto the pop charts. During this period, Mandrell also became known for her high production concert shows that often included costume changes and choreography. Her performance style attracted the attention of NBC producer Marty Krofft, who offered Mandrell her own television show. She originally turned down his offer. "My father was in agreement with me, I would never do a network television show. We thought that was sudden death to a recording artist," she later told The Tennessean. However, she ultimately accepted the role after multiple offers. Format The program was hosted by Barbara Mandrell, along with her younger sisters Irlene and Louise. It was co-produced by Sid and Marty Krofft, along with Ernest Chambers and Frank Peppiatt. It was directed by Bob Henry and Jack Regas. Music for the variety show was arranged by the Dennis McCarthy Orchestra and Mandrell's touring band The Do Rites. It ran on the NBC network weekly for a total of 60 minutes for two seasons. A total of 36 episodes were aired. The show was filmed at a studio in Los Angeles, California. The show originally aired on Tuesday nights on the NBC network but was adjusted to Saturday nights until February 1982. That year, the show was moved back to the network's Tuesday night lineup before being moved back to Saturday nights for the final two months of its run. Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters mixed both music and comedy sketches. The comedy sketches were often built around the relationship of the Mandrell sisters. The siblings were described as "engaging in a certain amount of tongue-in-cheek sibling rivalry", according to writers Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh. The also observed that Barbara was portrayed as the "serious, pushy sister", while Irlene was portrayed as "the sexy, vain one". The show also centered around music. The program often showcased the sisters' musician skills on multiple instruments. Barbara was often seen playing the banjo, steel guitar, piano and saxophone. Sister Louise was shown playing the banjo and fiddle. Irlene was routinely featured playing the drums. The show also included guests performers that ranged in style and genre. Among their featured guests were Ray Charles, Bob Hope, and Glen Campbell. The program often ended with a traditional medley of gospel music. Cancellation Although the show was planning to continue on the NBC network, Mandrell chose to leave the program after only two seasons. The demand of keeping both a singing and television career drove Mandrell towards exhaustion. "The one and only reason I will not is because I was under severe strain in my throat ... The hours -- some days 14 and some days 16 -- were unbelievable," she explained in 1982. The strain of Mandrell's voice prompted her to take shots cortisone so she could tape the program. Doctors convinced her to quit, stating that it would cause permanent vocal damage. At the time of the show's cancellation, the program was said to have attracted 40 million viewers. In 2007, the show was offered in a DVD format and was sold under the title Best of Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show.

Some Time Later () is a 2018 Spanish-Portuguese absurdist comedy film directed by José Luis Cuerda which features an ensemble cast of actors and comedians. Set in the year 9177 and based on the eponymous novel by Cuerda, the film is presented as a "spiritual sequel" to the 1989 cult film Amanece, que no es poco. It is Cuerda's swan song before his death in 2020. Plot It is about the year 9177 (one thousand years up or down) and only one building (and its suburbs) lasts from humankind. Society is divided between the elite inhabiting the building, and the 'unemployed' who live outside in shacks. The aforementioned social fabric begins to unravel after José María, an outer dweller, tries to sell a lemonade to the elite, prompting a social revolution. Cast Production The screenplay adapted the novel Tiempo después by José Luis Cuerda written in 2015, in turn based on a discarded screenplay from 1997. A group of comedians (including Edu Galán, Andreu Buenafuente, Berto Romero and Arturo Valls) created a group to unshelf the work and produce a film. Some of the crew duties were entrusted to Pau Esteve Birba (cinematography), Lucio Godoy (music), Emma Tusell (editing), Pepe Domínguez (art direction), Clara Bilbao (costume design) and Miguel Calvo (sound). Andreu Buenafuente and Arturo Valls took over production duties. The film's main theme, "Tiempo después", is performed by Joaquín Sabina. A joint Spanish-Portuguese co-production, the film was produced by Tiempo después AIE, Estela Films, Pólvora Films, Lanube Películas, El Terrat and Planar Gestão de Equipamentos Cinematográficos, with the participation of Atresmedia Cine, Entertaintment One, Movistar+, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla-La Mancha Media. Shooting took place in between the Castilla–La Mancha and the Community of Madrid regions and wrapped by December 2017. Shooting locations included and Hontanar, in the province of Toledo. The "dystopic" building in which the fiction is set is a mashup of two iconic 20th-century buildings located in Madrid: the Torres Blancas designed by Javier Sáenz de Oiza and the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (aka the 'Crown of Thorns') by Fernando Higueras and Antonio Miró. Some of the indoor shots were filmed in Torres Blancas. Release Some Time Later premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival (SSIFF) in September 2018. Distributed by eOne Films Spain, the film was theatrically released in Spain on 28 December 2018.

The Empire of Manchukuo issued its own orders system from its founding until its demise in 1945. Information On March 1, 1934, Manchukuo was proclaimed. With his first edict, the newly proclaimed Emperor Puyi announced the establishment of the new empire's reward system. Three orders were established: the Order of the Flowering Orchid, which became the highest order of the empire, the Order of the Glorious Dragon and the Order of the Beneficial Clouds. All orders of Manchukuo had their full counterparts in the Japanese award system. Thus, the Order of the Blossoming Orchid corresponded to the Japanese Order of the Chrysanthemum, the Order of the Glorious Dragon to the Order of the Rising Sun with Pavlovnia flowers, and the Order of the Beneficial Clouds, which had 8 degrees, to the Order of the Rising Sun. On April 19, 1934, the Law on Orders and Distinctions regulating the awarding system was passed. Like the country itself, Manchukuo's award system was under the full control of the Japanese authorities. The award designs were designed by Hata Shokichi, a professor at the Tokyo Higher Technical School. Orders for the awards were placed at the Osaka Mint. The awards were supervised by the Kwantung Army, with the vast majority going to Japanese soldiers and officials. The first order for Manchurian awards was placed on March 31, 1934. The orders were: Order of the Flowering Orchid with chain - 1 Order of the Flowering Orchid on Large Ribbon - 1 Order of the Blessed Dragon - 7 Order of the Beneficent Clouds - 1 : Order of the Beneficent Clouds - 25 Order of the Beneficent Clouds 2nd Class - 40 Order of the Beneficent Clouds 3rd Class - 25 Order of the Beneficent Clouds, 8th Class: 1 Total during the existence of the empire was made, according to various sources, from 166 to 196 thousand insignia of all degrees. The first award took place on May 9, 1934, when 10 copies were handed orders. On June 2, 1934, 28 orders were awarded. On November 28, 1935, the third awarding took place - 4,097 orders were presented to officers of the Kwantung Army. On September 14, 1936, by Imperial Edict No. 142, the Order of Pillars of State in eight degrees was established as the counterpart of the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure. On July 14, 1938, five medals were established for various civil merit awards. Five award badges were also established, worn without ribbons and having a lower status than ribbon medals. On October 1, 1938, the insignia of the Manchukuo Red Cross Society were established: the Merit Badge, the Badge of Honor, and medals for special and active members of the society. As in the case of orders, these awards replicated similar awards of the Japanese Red Cross. On November 11, 1943, the Badge of Perseverance in two degrees was established to reward subjects for labor merit. Several commemorative medals were also established at the same time to commemorate various major events in the history of the empire, such as the formation of the state, the accession of the Kangde Emperor to the throne, the emperor's visit to Japan, the census, etc., as well as several departmental awards such as the Police Merit Medal and the provincial authorities' awards. With the fall of imperial power in August 1945, all the awards of the Empire of Manchukuo ceased to exist as well.

The videos were first investigated by the police and the case heard in the Madurai bench of the Madras High court. Investigation After Lavanya's death the 62 year old hostel warden was arrested by the police under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, on charges of abatement to suicide. Police have interrogated 50 people connected to Lavanya. The school have denied any wrong doing in the case. The girl's parents alleged that the police was not taking seriously, their complaints of their daughter being pressured to convert. Senior police officer in Thanjavur, Ravali Priya Gandhapuneni, said that the police had recorded Lavanya's complaint, statement and dying declaration in front of the Judicial Magistrate. Lavanya did not speak about religious conversion while recording her statements. The parents of the girl also did not allege religious conversion. She noted that the police had also started investigation on the allegations of conversion. Police was also searching for the person who filmed the video shared on social media to verify the authenticity of the shared video and the motives of the person in releasing the video. According to the police officer, revealing the identity of a minor girl is a violation of law. Court proceedings The parents of the girl approached the Madras High Court on 21 January asking for a CBI investigation. On 31 January, upholding the plea from Lavanya's parents the Madras High Court ordered the case to be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation for further investigation. On 14 February 2022, the Supreme Court hearing the plea of Tamil Nadu government challenging the Madras High Court judgement, refused to intervene with the High court judgement. Politics South China Morning Post reported that the far-right Hindu groups in the region often accused the health care and educational institutions run by the Christian organisations of proselytising. The opposition NDA alliance partner, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced that it will set up a committee for investigating the allegations of coerced conversion. K. Annamalai, the president of Tamil Nadu wing of BJP was leading the political campaign that focused on the death of the girl. Annamalai had shared Lavanya's video on his Twitter profile. Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M. K. Stalin accused the BJP of doing communal politics over the incident. On 28 January, a group of the villagers from different religions of Michaelpatti village submitted petitions to Thanjavur Collector alleging that "vested interests" were attempting to disrupt the religious harmony of their village using the incident of Lavanya's death. Their village of 800 families following Christianity, Hinduism and Islam lived amicably since five generations. So far no one had attempted to convert the villagers into another religion, neither in the village nor in the school. They demanded that independent committees created by the political parties and religious organizations be prevented from conducting investigations in their village. The girl’s father too petitioned the Collector, seeking action against school authorities for “forcing his daughter to end her life.” The parent-teachers association president, residents, parents of students and alumni of the school, where Lavanya studied, submitted their separate petition to the Collector, seeking protection for the School. They stated that since the death, some political parties and religious outfits were carrying out a "smear campaign" against the school and teachers. In their petition, action against these parties and outfits was sought. Members of the minority groups in Karur lodged a legal complaint against the state BJP president K. Annamalai at Thanthonimalai police station accusing him of making attempts to disturb the religious harmony. The Police did not immediately, file an FIR on the complaint. The accused hostel keeper was released on bail on 13th February 2022. She was greeted by DMK's Trichy East Assembly member Inigo Iruthayaraj and presented with a shawl and garland.

Petunia Peak is a mountain summit located in Jefferson County of Washington state. Description Petunia Peak is set in the northeastern Olympic Mountains, and is situated on the boundary shared by Olympic National Park with the Buckhorn Wilderness, on land partially managed by the Olympic National Forest. Precipitation runoff from Petunia Peak drains into tributaries of the Dungeness River, and topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises 3,750 feet (1,143 m) above the river in approximately 1.7 mile, and the west aspect rises 2,000 feet above Royal Basin in less than one mile. Old-growth forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar grow on the lower slopes surrounding the peak. Like the town of Sequim 17 miles to the north, Petunia Peak lies in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. It is also called "Petunia Peaks", as a higher summit known as North Petunia Peak (6,998 ft) rises 0.6 mile (1 km) to the north. This landform's name has not been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, so the mountain is not labeled on USGS maps. Climate Petunia Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.

Mill Creek Valley was a historic neighborhood located in the central corridor between 20th Street and Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. European settlement began in the 18th century with mills established along La Petite Rivière, now known as Mill Creek. It became an industrial and railroad center in the 19th century. Union Station was opened in 1894. The building was closed in 1978 and renovated for commercial use. Also a residential and commercial center, Mill Creek Valley was populated by German immigrants and African Americans, before and after the Civil War. More people moved into the area during World War II to support the war effort. An urban renewal project of the late 1950s razed most of the residential dwellings, commercial buildings and churches. Although the intention was to establish a prospering commercial and residential area, the Saint Louis University and Harris–Stowe State University (HSSU) command much of the former Mill Creek Valley land. Notable residents include Lucy A. Delaney (c. 1828–1830 – 1910) won and wrote about her freedom suit and a community leader. General William Tecumseh Sherman (1820–1891) served the Union Army during the American Civil War. Josephine Baker (1906–1975), an American-born French entertainer, French Resistance agent, and civil rights activist. Erskine Oglesby (1937–2004), an American tenor saxophonist and blues singer. History Millpond period Among the initial settlers of St. Louis were Joseph and Roger Taillons, who were millers. Joseph settled along La Petite Rivière and built a grist mill and a dam along present-day Eighth Street. The creek, later named Mill Creek, ran along what is now Vandeventer Avenue to the Mississippi River. Taillon's mill was not large enough to make sufficient flour for the community. Pierre Laclède paid Taillon four hundred livres in cash for the mill and he built a larger mill and raised the dam. Laclède was granted 1,000 acres along the creek on August 11, 1766. In 1770, Laclède entered into a contract with the Spanish government to supply bread to visiting Native Americans. After his death, the property was sold to Auguste Chouteau. Chouteau's grist mill was located along the creek south of present-day Clark Street. Chouteau's Pond was a local attraction. Other water-powered and horse-powered mills were established in the area; they were the first industrial plants in St. Louis. Growth due to westward expansion By 1849, the Missouri Republican newspaper estimated that one-third of the city's population were emigrants. During the California Gold Rush, up to 800 emigrants arrived in St. Louis, bound for the western territory. People that stayed in St. Louis found that housing was limited and many stayed in slums. Without garbage collection and sewers, the city became increasingly polluted and unhealthy. A cholera epidemic spread throughout the city in the spring of 1849, essentially suspending business, church, school, and judicial activities. Two-thirds of the people who lived near Chouteau's pond, the filthiest area in the city, died of the disease by July 3. There was talk of draining the pond and installing a sewer system, which was weighed against voter's predilection for low taxes and apathy for the conditions of the poorest people in the city. After a mass protest, a 12-person Committee of Public Health was established, led by Edward Bates (later United States Attorney General under President Abraham Lincoln). The powerful committee enforced sanitation ordinances, by removing waste, providing clean water, providing health care for the ill, ensuring residents disinfected their homes, and removing the dead for burial. Chouteau's Pond was drained due to cholera epidemics and pollution in 1852. Railroads About that time, railroads lines were established from St. Louis to the western frontier. Mill Creek Valley became a combination of residential and industrial section of the city, with factories and railroad yards, reflecting the city's continued growth as a transportation hub and an industrial center. Depots, roundhouses, bridges over railroad tracks, and many warehouses were built in Mill Creek Valley to support the railroad industry in St. Louis. In 1892, construction began for a 42 acre (17 ha) railroad site and a new railroad terminal designed and supervised by Theodore C. Link. Remnants of the millpond period—log cabins, hulls of boats, and willow stumps were removed—and deep caves and vaults from an old brewery were extracted. Union Station was opened in 1894. It had 32 railroad lines for multiple railroad company and the largest train shed in the world at the time. The station operated until 1978, when it was renovated for commercial space. Residential and commercial growth The area was populated by German immigrants who moved into the valley during the 19th century. African Americans settled in the area, some of whom were free and others had escaped enslavement. After the Civil War (1861–1865), poor blacks moved north from southern cotton fields to Mill Creek Valley. World War I and II During World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), there was a surge in the number of people that came to the city to work for the war effort. During World War I, there was a 41% increase in African American residents. By World War II, there were nearly 20,000 residents, most of whom were Black. African American community Mill Creek Valley became one of the largest African American communities in the first half of the 20th century. Black businesses and organizations thrived. Mill Creek Valley, spanning 465 acres, was the home to hundreds of businesses and organizations, 5,600 residential buildings, and 43 historic churches in the 1950s. One of the Black businesses was the People's Finance Corporation Building. Notable educational facilities were the Booker T. Washington Vocational School, and the original Vashon High School. City Hospital #2 was established in the valley. The YWCA, Phillis Wheatley Branch was a center of intellectual life in the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood. The Fisk Jubilee Singers performed at Wheatley in 1916, and W.E.B. Du Bois gave a lecture in 1922. Maya Angelou, Mary McLeod Bethune and Butterfly McQueen all visited or stayed in the YWCA's hotel rooms. Bars and nightclubs were established. Residents Josephine Baker and Scott Joplin attained worldwide fame. The community developed a distinctive culture based upon African American music, religion and activism. It became a center for racial justice activism. Redlining and segregation caused the neighborhood to degrade. It had a lack of water and electricity. Buildings deteriorated and the area was unsanitary. Of the dwellings, 80 percent did not have bathrooms within the house and 50 percent of the houses did not have running water. The neighborhood was considered the worst eyesore in the city, yet there were successful businesses and was one of the key African American neighborhoods. Urban renewal project The Housing Act of 1954 was enacted to fund urban renewal projects across the country. Mayor Raymond R. Tucker announced his plans on August 7, 1954 to demolish the buildings to allow for new development. In 1955, voters of the City of St. Louis passed a $110 bond issue, of which $100 was delegated for the demolition of Mill Creek Valley. The urban renewal project also constructed residential buildings, created industrial zones, and built new highways, including U.S. Highway 40. It was the nation's largest urban-renewal project at the time. About 20,000 African American residents were displaced before it was leveled for an urban renewal project that began in 1959. Harris–Stowe State University (HSSU) incorporated the old Vashon High School, one of the few buildings that was spared demolition, into its campus. Saint Louis University and HSSU now cover much of the former historic area. HSSU unveiled a mural for the campus in February 2018 that was Wells Fargo commissioned in honor of Mill Creek Valley. The Grand Tower of Council Plaza, Grand Forest, and Laclede Park apartments provide residential housing. Repercussions As was true with a number of urban renewal projects in the United States, "federal funds were used to systematically discriminate against African Americans and hinder their progress." More than 40 churches, hundreds of businesses and organizations, and thousands of residential buildings, many of them with historical significance, were destroyed. It was one of the key African American neighborhoods and its residents were displaced from their community and social networks. Notable residents Josephine Baker (1906–1975), an American-born French entertainer, French Resistance agent, and civil rights activist. Lucy A.

The Defence Juntas () were professional associations of military officers that sprouted in Spain during the last rales of the Restoration. They were created from 1916 onward by Army officers based on Peninsular Spain disgruntled because of the comparatively quicker war-merit-based promotion of the army officers destined in Africa, underpinning the vs polarization within the armed forces. Jointly with the 1917 general strike and the meetings of the so-called Assembly of Parliamentarians in Barcelona, the unrest stirred by the wayward juntas (which refused to disband after an order to do so issued by the government of García Prieto in the Summer of 1917) dealt a triple whammy to the regime during the Crisis of 1917.

The former Embassy of the United States of America in Tabriz was a diplomatic and political venue in Tabriz that operated under the auspices of the US Embassy in Tehran. This consulate was opened in 1906 and was active until the capture of the US Embassy in Tehran and the severance of Iran-US relations. This consulate was located at the end of Lilava neighborhood or South Shariati Street. After the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the severance of relations with the US government, its building was given to the Islamic Revolution Committees of Tabriz. After a few years its building was given to the Iranian Police Criminal Investigation Department of Tabriz. In 1999, this large area became a restaurant and reception hall affiliated with the General Command of the Law Enforcement of Islamic Republic of Iran. History Prior to World War II and the occupation of Tabriz by Allied leaders of World War I, the US consulate was located in an unsuitable location, and a new consulate was established in 1943 in this place. The land of the consulate was formerly an abandoned garden called the "Armenian Desert" and was owned by a person named "Haj Ali Akbar Dabbagh". When the Red Army entered Tabriz on the 26th of August 1941, this barren land became the location of Soviet army tanks. In 1944, an Austrian engineer working in "Khosravi leather factory" named "Engineer Sigmund" bought this plot of land for ten thousand tomans and turned it into a garden. The US government then bought the garden from the Austrian engineer and moved the US consulate to its place. In the critical years of the end of World War II and the formation of the Azerbaijani Democratic Party in Tabriz from 1945 to 1946, the consulate was the center of control and prevention of political-military activities of Soviet Union forces in Azerbaijan and the US Deputy Consul in Tabriz named Robert Rossow, Jr. observed the movements and activities of the Red Army in Tabriz and transmitted all the secret operations of the Soviet Union forces in Azerbaijan to the United States moment by moment. Finally, the Soviet forces evacuated Azerbaijan in June 1946, and on December 12, 1946, the government of the Azerbaijani Democratic Party was defeated and disintegrated in front of the Iranian army. After that, the US Consulate in Tabriz continued to fulfill its duty to spread US policies in Azerbaijan and to prevent the spread of anti-American ideas and to fight communist thoughts and activities in the region. Among the actions of the Americans in this consulate, can mentioned the display of an example of the "moonstone" that American astronauts brought to Earth from the moon, in the big hall of the consulate, and invitation of the people of Tabriz to watch this stone. "Michael Metrinko", the US Consul in Tabriz from 1977 to 1979, said in an interview with the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training about the Tabriz Consulate: List of US consuls in Tabriz The table below lists the names of the US Consuls in Tabriz and their years of responsibility. After Iranian Revolution of 1979 During the riot of the people of Tabriz against Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on February 18, 1978, the "John F. Kennedy Library in Tabriz", the "Iran-US Cultural Center in Tabriz" and the "Point Four Program office" were attacked by revolutionaries and with the exception of the US consulate, which had diplomatic immunity, all other American institutions in Tabriz were destroyed. During February 1979, the revolutionaries of Tabriz, led by Mohammad Ali Qazi Tabatabaei, moved towards this consulate and lowered the large sign of the consulate and the American flag from its door. Then, at the same time as the US embassy in Tehran was captured, the US consulate in Tabriz was also occupied by the revolutionary invaders. At present, the location of this consulate on "Shariati Street" in Tabriz has been turned into an "Reception Hall and Restaurant" owned by the General Command of the Law Enforcement of Islamic Republic of Iran.

The CPLP Bridge (, ) (known during the construction phase as Comoro Bridges I and II) is a pair of two-lane road bridges in the suco of , a western suburb of Dili, capital city of East Timor. Location The bridge carries across the Comoro River, north of the Hinode Bridge (Comoro Bridge III). History The bridge was built to replace an earlier Comoro Bridge I, a steel framed structure on the same site that had been a vital transport route in Dili. The project for the new bridge was one of a number of infrastructure schemes developed by the Government of East Timor in preparation for the 10th CPLP Summit (), the 10th biennial meeting of heads of state and heads of government of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries ( (CPLP)), which was held in Dili on 23 July 2014. Construction of the new bridge proceeded in two stages. In 2012, the East Timorese Ministry of Public Works initiated the first stage, by engaging a joint venture consisting of an Indonesian State-owned enterprise, , and a local group, the Timorese National Consortium ( (CNT)), as contractor to build Comoro Bridge II alongside the existing bridge. Work on that stage began on 1 September 2012 and ended on 31 May 2013, at a contract price of US$8.758 million. On 30 May 2013, the Comoro II Bridge was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of East Timor, Xanana Gusmão. During his speech at the ceremony, the Prime Minister praised the builders of the bridge, but also criticised those who: Two days earlier, on 28 May 2013, demolition of the old Comoro Bridge I had started. On 11 October 2013, the same WIKA/CNT joint venture began construction of the replacement Comoro Bridge I. The construction work took until 8 July 2014; its total cost was the higher sum of over US$11.7 million, as it included the installation of a footpath on each of the outward facing sides of the new pair of bridges. On the day on which the replacement Comoro Bridge I was completed, the Minister of Public Works, , announced that the new pair of bridges across the Comoro would be named the CPLP Bridge, in honour of the CPLP. On 22 July 2014, the day before the 10th CPLP Summit, the President of East Timor, Taur Matan Ruak, inaugurated the completed structure as a whole. During his speech, the President said that the CPLP Bridge: Also present at the inauguration ceremony were representatives of the CPLP and of the government of East Timor, including Xanana Gusmão. The other member countries of the CPLP were represented at the ceremony as follows: the President of the Republic of Cape Verde, Carlos Fonseca; the President of the Republic of Mozambique, Armando Guebuza; the President of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, Manuel Pinto da Costa; the Vice President of the Republic of Angola, Manuel Domingos Vicente; the Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau, Domingos Simões Pereira; the Prime Minister of Portugal, Pedro Passos Coelho; and the Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, Paulo Cordeiro de Andrade Pinto. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Bishop of Dili, Dom Alberto Ricardo, blessed the bridge. After the bridge was opened, an arch extending over both of its roadways, and a Kaibauk mounted above the apex of the arch, were added at the pylon. The cost of these additions was about $3 million. In early 2019, flooding of the river was observed to have caused degradation and damage to the foundations of some of the bridge piers. In an effort to prevent any further such damage, the Ministry of Public Works has constructed retention dams in the river. Technical data CPLP Bridge is an extradosed bridge with its deck resting on pre-cast I-girders. It is long, each of its roadways is wide, and it has a footpath on each side. The Avenida carried by the bridge is the main route between central Dili and the west side of the city, including the Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport and the port, which as at early 2022 was due to start operations later that year.

USCGC Morro Bay (WTGB-106) is the sixth vessel of the s built in 1980 and operated by the United States Coast Guard. The ship was named after a seaside city in San Luis Obispo County, California. Design The Bay-class tugboats operated primarily for domestic ice breaking duties. They are named after American bays and are stationed mainly in the northeast United States and the Great Lakes. WTGBs use a low pressure air hull lubrication or bubbler system that forces air and water between the hull and ice. This system improves icebreaking capabilities by reducing resistance against the hull, reducing horsepower requirements. Construction and career Morro Bay was laid down by the Tacoma Boatbuilding Co., in Tacoma, Washington on 6 August 1979. She was launched on 11 July 1980 and later commissioned at the Reserve Training Center in Yorktown, on 28 March 1981. She served at Yorktown until 1998 before she was relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in the summer of 2014. On 2 July 2008, Morro Bay was returning to New London when she collided with a Block Island ferry. In May 2018, Morro Bay arrived at the Great Lakes Shipyard for repairs and maintenance. On 13 June 2021, while the museum ship was being towed out of Cleveland for repairs, Morro Bay collided with Cod at 11:30 a.m., though damage to the vessels was minor.

Zunda-mochi (ずんだ餅) is type of Japanese confectionary popular in northeastern Japan. It is sometimes translated as "green soybean rice cake." It generally consists of a round cake of short-grained glutinous rice with sweetened mashed soybean paste on top. In some varieties, the green soybean paste entirely covers the white rice cake. In all cases, immature soybeans known as edamame are used. A closely related product is “kurumi-mochi,” which uses walnuts instead of soybeans. Etymology There are various theories about how the term zunda-mochi arose. According to one theory, the word zunda traces its roots to zuda (), which refers to "bean-mashing." Another theory suggests that zuda is derived from the jindachi sword of the famous warlord Date Masamune, who reputedly mashed beans with his sword during the Warring States period. A third theory holds that a farmer named Jinta came up with the idea for this dish. Reputedly, the warlord Date Masamune liked this farmer's idea and named the product "jinta mochi." Terms of zunda-mochi have evolved into several variants in diverse parts of northern Japan. Moreover, in some dialects the word "mochi" itself is pronounced ”mozu.” History Zunda-mochi has a long history dating from at least Japan's Sengoku period. It is mentioned briefly in the diary of Prince Gosuko-in (1372-1456). Reputedly zunda-mochi was a favorite dessert of Date Masamune. It is perhaps for this reason that zunda-mochi is often regarded as a speciality of Sendai. At one time zunda-mochi was made by rice farmers soon after their summer soybean and rice harvest. It was likely used as an offering during the traditional obon and higan festivals. Eventually, it became a traditional sweet for various occasions such as weddings and funerals in some sections of northern Japan. Today zunda-mochi is manufactured and marketed in many forms. For example, zunda-mochi gift sets are sold by Japan Post, the nation's largest mail carrier. Moreover, zunda-daifuku, which could be described as the inverse of zunda-mochi with the sticky rice on the outside and sweet bean-paste at the center, is popular in Miyagi prefecture. A related product is zunda cream dorayaki, which might be described as two pancakes with a creamy sweet soybean filling. Zunda mochi ice cream is available in some parts of Sendai city and in 2019 Häagen-Dazs even released a limited edition of that product. Since 2009 Nestlé Japan has marketed "Zunda-mochi" flavor Kit-Kat bars in some parts of northern Japan. </ref> It is also possible to buy zunda-mochi shaved ice and milkshakes not only in parts of Japan, but also Hawaii. Zunda-mochi related foods continue to evolve, often fusing elements of Western and Japanese cuisine.

Pedro Ortiz de Zárate (1622 – 27 October 1683) was an Argentine Roman Catholic priest and Giovanni Antonio Solinas (15 February 1643 – 27 October 1683) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Society of Jesus. Zárate served in a local municipal role before he was married and had two children. He was widowed and decided to enter the priesthood once his two sons were old enough to handle the change; he was a noted preacher and envisioned himself as one that would convert and preach amongst the local Argentine native tribes. Solinas left for the Argentine missions alongside three companions and moved from place to place before he settled in the Salta province. Both priests were slain after two tribes of natives decided to deceive them to preach and work in their village before ambushing and killing both priests; eighteen others were slain alongside them and their bodies left to be discovered as the assailants fled in fear of Spanish forces that were not too far from their position. Zárate was first married as a teenager and became a priest after he was widowed after around a decade of marriage. The example of the priests and bishops around him solidified his intention to become a priest but he first needed to ensure that his maternal grandmother could care for his two sons while he pursued his ecclesial education. He became a prominent figure in local apostolates and was best known for his interactions with the local indigenous communities. Solinas served in the local missions in Paraguay before he settled in Argentina with an identical desire to spread the message of the Gospel to the local indigenous tribes. The beatification process for the two slain priests opened but hit an initial roadblock once the Orán diocese was forced to drop the eighteen others killed due to a lack of historical documentation regarding them. This enabled for the cause for the two Servants of God to continue unimpeded despite several additional roadblocks down the line. Pope Francis (himself an Argentine) confirmed the cause and the beatification is set to be celebrated in San Ramón de la Nueva Orán on 2 July 2022. Life Martyrdom On the morning of 27 October 1683 at the San Miguel Fort in the Zenta Valley, the priests Pedro Ortiz de Zárate and Giovanni Antonio Solinas celebrated Mass and were with eighteen lay people, including some of the converted indigenous peoples, when they were suddenly surrounded and ambushed by almost one hundred and fifty of the natives. The natives, feigning a peaceful approach at the newly constructed chapel of Saint Mary, suddenly attacked and killed them. The group was slain with spears and axes, and their remains were dismembered and their heads severed. The mutilated corpses were discovered the following day by those eyewitnesses who narrated the incident. The deaths of the twenty massacred came at a time when many tribes were waging war against each other and any missionary was often found in the middle of such conflicts since many of their apostolates often created greater problems for some tribes and only heightened existing tensions. For a little while, until the day of their martyrdom, the priests had been awaiting the return of their priestly companion Diego Ruiz, who was returning from Salta with a convoy of provisions for the group. In the meantime, they had taken the opportunity to make short missionary trips in the surrounding area while they were settled there. However, they had an unexpected visit of around five hundred Tobas and Mocovíes, fully armed and with their bodies totally painted as they used to do for a party or a war. Those people approached desiring better communication and harmony, however, the priests began to believe that the benevolence was faked and that they were more than likely going to die. As the indigenous assailants surrounded the chapel on that 26 October, the following morning would see them kill the entire group after the two priests celebrated Mass and continued their usual work of distributing food and other items as they preached. As the afternoon approached, they were preparing to teach catechism as they were slain with spears, axes, darts, and other weapons before they were beheaded. However, an alternative account also exists regarding their martyrdom. Around 20 October, Zárate and Solinas headed south with some of the converted and their return to the village took no more than three days at the most. On the way back, they noticed with surprise the very large presence of natives who were fully armed and fully painted, as if ready for a party or for war. While the missionaries were surprised about this, they were still accommodating to the natives, trading food and clothing and other gifts, not really noticing as the natives dispersed and surrounded the Saint Mary chapel. The group of five hundred that committed the massacre consisted of 150 from the Tobas and the rest consisted of five Mocoví leaders and their warriors, with no women or children in sight. The alternative account details that on the night of 26 October, at great personal risk, one of the Mocoví warned the two priests about the betrayal. While both men prepared for their deaths, they doubted as to whether or not the warning was sincere. As the missionaries rang the bells to call people to catechism class, they were already in the midst of teaching when the natives ambushed and attacked them. Also killed were eighteen people, consisting of two Spaniards, a black man, a mulatto, two girls, a native woman and eleven other natives. They were posthumously stripped naked and their heads cut off, with arrows thrust into their bodies. Pedro Ortiz de Zárate Pedro Ortiz de Zárate was born sometime in 1622 in San Salvador in the Jujuy province to parents of Basque origins, Juan Ochoa de Zárate (1573–1638) and Bartolina Sánchez de Garnica (d. 24.02.1633); his mother originally hailed from Santiago del Estero. His sisters were Juana Ortiz de Zárate Garnica, Petronila Ortiz de Zárate Garnica, Ana María Ortiz de Zárate Garnica, and Bartolina Ortiz de Zárate Garnica. He received his baptism from the local curate and vicar Bartolomé Càseres y Godoy. His grandfather and namesake, Pedro de Zàrate, was a very prominent individual in Tucumàn and contributed to the establishment of the city of San Francisco de Alava that eventually became San Salvador and the greater Jujuy province. Despite a solid Catholic education under the Society of Jesus in Jujuy, his father's prominent position in local affairs saw him taught in matters of law and politics. At the age of seventeen, he married the wealthy noblewoman Petronila de Ibarra Argañarás y Murguía (14.06.1627–1654) on 15 September 1644 and the pair had two children together, Juan Ortiz de Murguía y Zárate and Diego Ortiz de Zàrate Argañaraz (born in 1646). However, the death of his father saw his relatives pressure him to choose a path: the priesthood (which most knew he already felt inclined towards), marriage (to transmit his family name and his family wealth to the next generation), or the priesthood in the event that he would become a widower, with the latter being a fairly common practice in those days. Upon discussing his options with the Jesuit fathers and his spiritual directors, he ultimately chose in favor of marriage. His future wife was the granddaughter of one of the town's founders and the daughter of María de Argañarás y Murguía, who had already been widowed from previous marriages. He held a range of civil duties and ended up becoming the mayor for his town of San Salvador, a position that he was elected to three times and was elected to for the first time at the tender age of 22 on the first ballot. However, his mother died on 24 February 1633 and his father died in 1638 while leaving his only son with lands and other personal interests to look after. But he was soon left as a widower in early 1654 and entrusted the care of his two children to his maternal grandmother since he had the intention to enter the priesthood to pursue the ecclesial life as he felt called to. He discussed his plans with the diocesan bishop, Melchor Maldonado y Saavedra, who arrived in Jujuy on 23 January 1655 for a pastoral visitation, and Zárate commenced his theological and philosophical studies in Córdoba. The very same bishop had already ordained his cousin, Pedro Obando y Zárate, after his own widowhood. What immediately stopped him from immediately pursuing a priestly vocation was the fact that his sons were still very young, and he wanted to wait to see them settled and older first before he pursued his priestly intentions. He was later ordained to the priesthood in mid-1657 in Santiago del Estero by Bishop Maldonado y Saavedra. In his duties as a priest, he dedicated himself to a consistent apostolate that saw him tend to the ill and administer the sacraments to all. Following Maldonado's death in 1661, it was Zárate who was chosen as the apostolic visitor to carry out the next pastoral visitation for all parishes in the diocese. In late 1657, he was appointed as the curate for the Omaguaca people and later in 1659, he was appointed to serve as the parish priest for Jujuy, remaining there for 24 years, distinguishing himself amongst the people for his ardent commitment to prayer and his attention to divine worship and sacred music in the Mass. Zárate also provided for the construction of chapels and churches through his own personal funds in many of the places that he visited throughout his apostolate. However, he also faced long distances to pay particular attention towards his outreach to the local indigenous populations and to assist the poor and the sick who sometimes lived in remote areas. However, his sole desire was to evangelize the Gospel amongst the Chaco people. He often spoke about it with his bishop, and even wrote to the governor of Tucumàn and the King of Spain Charles II. Eventually, he obtained authorization to commence this mission which would be coordinated in tandem with a mission led by the Society of Jesus who had a similar idea in mind. In 1670, Ángel de Peredo, a prominent figure in the military and a knight of the Order of Santiago, became the governor for Tucumán. Eventually, his ambitions grew to the point that he was tempted to launch a military campaign to conquer the territory controlled by the Chaco population. However, the military was largely unsuccessful in their efforts due to the difficult terrain and a lack of motivation. Zárate was bitter about the campaign and was frustrated since he grew increasingly concerned for the Chaco people and were worried about what atrocities the military could commit. In order to deter the military campaign, he made repeated requests to instead think about launching a spiritual campaign to help convert the local indigenous populations, despite the turbulent warring between rival tribes. On 17 April 1682, a positive response was issued, and plans for such a mission were drawn up. In May 1683, he set out alongside two other priests, one being the Italian Jesuit Giovanni Antonio Solinas, and a group that consisted of over seventy people, bidding farewell to his parishioners on 18 October 1862 to prepare for the trip. Solinas and Ruiz joined him on 20 April 1683 before their journey could get underway. The journey was very long and often presented dangers, but the group reached the Zenta Valley and remained there to begin their apostolate amongst the local indigenous tribe. However, on the morning of 27 October 1683, he and Solinas were murdered by the indigenous peoples that belonged to the Tobas and Mocovíes ethnic groups, with some natives and eighteen other people killed alongside them. Giovanni Antonio Solinas Giovanni Antonio Solinas was born in Oliena in the Nuoro province of Sardinia on 15 February 1643 to Giovanni Paolo Solinas and Maria Todde Corbu. He was baptized in the local parish church of Santa Maria just hours after he was born. His parents were devout Christians and entrusted his education to the Society of Jesus who managed a boarding school in Oliena. Attending their school, he began to feel an attraction to the priesthood with an emphasis on the Jesuit charism. On 13 June 1663, he formally entered the Society of Jesus and spent his novitiate period in Cagliari before he made his initial religious profession on 16 June 1665. Following this, he spent some time as a teacher in various cities, particularly in Sassari, where he commenced his first two years of theological studies after having already completed his philosophical courses. In early 1672, he expressed his desires to enter the missions to his superiors, and told them about his orientation towards tending to the indigenous populations in South America. From Latin America arrived the Jesuit priest Cristoforo Altamirano who had been sent back to Italy to look for prospective candidates to work in the missions in Paraguay, with the intent of bringing back at least 35 if possible. Solinas, whose desire to enter the missions was already very well known by this point, departed on a voyage with three other companions, first reaching Barcelona and then to Madrid before settling in Seville. It was there that he completed his theological studies and on 27 May 1673 was ordained to the priesthood. On 16 September 1673, he left the port at Cádiz for Latin America. Solinas arrived in Córdoba on 11 April 1674 and travelled to Buenos Aires in 1675 before relocating to Santa Fé to complete the third and final year of his novitiate. In the listing of missionaries, he was described in his personnel file as "dark, black hair and beard, medium-sized and twenty-eight years old". In the second half of 1678, he commenced his apostolate with the Reducción people in Itapúa in Paraguay, distinguishing himself amongst the locals for his zeal and his hospitable outreach towards the native populations; he also briefly worked in Uruguay. An elderly missionary, Pietro Jimenes de Araya, who was his preaching companion several times, wrote about him from Corrientes to the superior Diego Francesco de Altamirano on 3 April 1679, extolling his virtues and highlighting his tireless work: "Fr. Solinas has worked and is working wonderfully, both in the confessional and from the pulpit. Many days he gives sermons and daily conversations with many examples, teaching the doctrine to children and all categories of the population, and God gave him health and strength, and with them he worked day and night for the good of souls without any distraction in other things". In 1682, he made his solemn religious profession. After a period of time spent with the Hohomas ethnic group, in 1660 he was appointed as a military chaplain and for the next two years served also as a missionary in other places. In 1681, he was living in Concepción and remained there until 1683 when he would leave for what would be his final mission. When approval came for a mission to the Chaco people in 1682, the Bishop of Tucumán (and the grandnephew of Saint Francisco de Borja) Francisco de Borja y Miguel suggested to allocate the Jesuits to the mission due to their experience in missionary activities. In May 1683, he was assigned to the Chaco mission and would accompany the priest Pedro Ortiz de Zárate and one priest with seventy others in tow. The mission had originally been approved by the Society of Jesus in 1682. The often dangerous journey saw them reach the Tobas and Mocovíes ethnic groups to begin their apostolate amongst them. However, on the morning of 27 October 1683, the two priests and eighteen others, including some of the natives, were brutally slain. Burial Both priests are buried under the altar at the Jesuit church at Calle Caseros y Miter in Salta. In 2021, the Bishop of Jujuy César Daniel Fernández highlighted in a pastoral message that the "remains were buried under the site that the Jujuy Cathedral occupies today in a place that, unfortunately, we cannot identify". Beatification The beatification process had its origins at the latest in the 1980s once interest in a cause was raised in the Orán diocese. The official request was made by the Bishop of Orán Mario Antonio Cargnello to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome on 17 March 1998 to initiate the beatification process for the two slain priests and the other eighteen that died alongside them in the massacre. But the cause hit a major roadblock sometime in 2002 when the other eighteen people were dropped from the cause due to a lack of evidence. The Orán diocese still decided to continue with the cause for the two slain priests and put in the official request that led to the C.C.S. issuing the official "nihil obstat" (no objections) edict on 8 March 2002 that would title both men as a Servant of God and initiate the cause. The Orán diocese opened the diocesan investigation on 1 May 2007 and concluded its business a decade later on 14 November 2016 before sending their findings to the C.C.S. in Rome. The C.C.S. ratified the diocesan process on 8 June 2017 in a decree that asserted that the Orán diocese completed its work and complied with their regulations. The postulation (the officials managing the cause) compiled and submitted the official "Positio" dossier to the C.C.S. to assess. Historians met to approve the cause after the historical circumstances surrounding the deaths of the two priests was investigated in-depth to determine if their death was in a religious context. Nine theologians later voiced their own approval to the cause while the cardinals and bishops of the C.C.S. issued their own approval on 28 September 2021. Pope Francis signed a decree on 13 October 2021 that confirmed that the two slain priests had been killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) and could be beatified without a miracle as is the case in most causes. Cardinal Marcello Semeraro shall preside over the beatification on the pope's behalf in San Ramón de la Nueva Orán on 2 July 2022. The current postulator for this cause is Sr. Isabel Fernández SSFCR. Notes Some sources suggest his birthdate to be 29 June 1626. Some sources suggest that it was named the San Rafael Fort. Some sources suggest that he entrusted his two sons to his mother-in-law Maria de Arganaràs. Some sources suggest that he was married on 15 November 1644. Some sources suggest that Solinas left in January 1674.
