On 1 February 2022, five-year-old Moroccan boy Rayan Aourram (; ) fell into a dry well in Ighran village in Tamorot commune, Chefchaouen Province, Morocco. Rescue attempts were delayed by the narrow well and fragile ground. A separate trench was dug to access the bottom of the well, although when rescuers reached Aourram on 5 February it was discovered that he had died. Background The mountainous region where the accident took place is located in the vicinity of Chefchaouen, in the Rif region of Northern Morocco, a region known for cannabis cultivation, which constitutes a main income resource for many poor families. This plant requires copious amounts of water to grow, especially the imported hybrid varieties, as opposed to the local kif hashish, whose cultivation can rely solely on rainwater. This is why locals dig deep wells, which need to be deep enough to reach the progessively drying underground waters. These wells are usually covered to prevent falling accidents. Because of the high demand for water and the advancing drought, which was one of the indirect causes of the Hirak Rif Movement in 2016, the locals have to dig deeper and deeper to tap into underground waters. Morocco is not the only country that has these issues, but other countries such as Spain suffer from the consequences of drought too, and have more than half a million illegally dug wells, according to some estimates. Such falling accidents have also occurred in recent years in countries like Spain, Algeria, Poland and Germany. Timeline While playing outside on 1 February 2022, five-year-old Rayan Aourram fell into a dry well in the village of Ighran in Chefchaouen Province, Morocco. Aourram's father was working nearby, and had been repairing the well. His family saw small footprints near the well, and heard his voice. By use of a flashlight and a phone camera they sent down, the family confirmed Aourram was within the well and informed the local authorities. Traditional methods of rescue failed, so provincial authorities of Chefchaouen were informed. The following day, volunteers tried to reach Aourram by going down the well. The well is wide at the top and gets narrower as it goes down, so direct rescue was impossible. Despite this, it was confirmed that Aourram was still alive. Authorities brought heavy machinery, including bulldozers, and started digging a trench at the side of the well. Water, food and oxygen were lowered, as well as a camera to monitor the boy's condition. On 3 February, a camera was lowered into the well and it was determined that while Aourram was suffering minor head injuries, he was conscious. The rescue team continued digging on the side of the well; the plan was to dig vertically to the same level as Aourram, then start digging horizontally. They dug carefully, stopping at times to ensure safety and avoid a cave-in. A medical team, including an ambulance and a helicopter of the Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie, were dispatched to the scene. Diggers reached Aourram's level on 4 February, and began the more delicate task of digging horizontally with hand tools and techniques to avoid vibrating the surrounding soil. On 5February, the fourth day since Aourram's fall, a rock blocking the tunnel caused a three-hour delay to the rescue attempt. Large pipes were put in place to secure the tunnel. A chief rescuer said it was not possible to determine Aourram's condition, and officials were unsure if he was still alive. When rescuers reached Aourram that day, they discovered that he had died; a royal statement made soon after his extraction announced his death, and King Mohammed VI called Aourram's parents to give his condolences. Media coverage The accident attained wide media coverage in both North African and international media. Several news outlets praised the response and support from the Algerian people, "despite current political tensions between Morocco and Algeria". Hashtags including #SaveRayan and its Arabic equivalent () became trending in Morocco, Algeria, and France, where a large North African diaspora lives. A parallel was drawn with the death of Julen Roselló, a two-year old Spanish boy who died when he fell into and became trapped in a well in 2019.

Why We Fight is an album by the English musician John Wesley Harding, released in 1992. As with many of Harding's albums, the title is a reference to Frank Capra's work; Harding had considered using the Kinks homage Give the People What I Want as the title. Harding described the album's sound as "folk noir". Harding supported the album by touring with Barenaked Ladies and Mare Winningham. Production Written in San Francisco and recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Steve Berlin. Harding picked Berlin after hearing the producer's work on Leo Kottke's Great Big Boy. Greg Leisz played pedal steel on the album. Green on Red's Chris Cacavas contributed vocals. Harding wrote "Hitler's Tears", a song about fascism, after watching television footage of Pat Buchanan and David Duke. Critical reception Trouser Press wrote that Harding "opts for earthier, less contrived grooves and cuts down (though hardly eliminates) the [Elvis] Costello echoes." The Washington Post stated the album "replaces the musical Attractions of Harding's previous work with a more rustic, less derivative approach." The Chicago Tribune thought that the songs "wrestle with moral dilemmas and revel in humanistic detail." Stereo Review called Why We Fight "a lengthy album whose politics are always correct and almost always obvious," noting that Harding "writes facilely about iconic figures ... and poses questions that are more well-intentioned than illuminating." The Indianapolis Star deemed the songs "well-scripted tales with catchy tunes." The Vancouver Sun labeled "Kill the Messenger" "a swinging folk-rocker that may be Harding's best tune yet." The Star-Ledger panned the "lyrical vagueness." AllMusic called Why We Fight "arguably his strongest album and boasting the perfect balance of folk and attitude." The Knoxville News Sentinel listed it as the fourth best album of 1992. Track listing References John Wesley Harding (singer) albums 1992 albums Sire Records albums

The battle of Rapallo was a naval battle fought on 2 May 1495, during the First Italian War, between a fleet of the Republic of Genoa under the command of Francesco Spinola and a French fleet under the command of Louis de Miolans. The French fleet, consisting of seven galleys, two galleons and two fuste, was attacked at dawn on 2 May by a Genoese squadron consisting of eight galleys, a carrack and two xebecs, carrying six hundred infantrymen, at its moorings in Rapallo, home to a French garrison since a battle fought there on the previous year. Only two of the French galleys were fully manned, the rest having detached part of their crews to reinforce the land garrison in the wrong assumption, furthered by false rumors deliberately spread by the Genoese, that the main attack would come from land. Exploiting the surprise thus achieved, the Genoese captured the entire French fleet and then landed troops under the command of Gian Ludovico Fieschi and Giovanni Adorno, which with the helpo of an uprising among the local population, recaptured Rapallo and forced the French garrison to surrender. The destruction of the French fleet led to the capture, a few days later, of a convoy of twelve unescorted French sailing vessels, carrying war booty and prisoners captured during Charles VIII’s campaign in the Kingdom of Naples; three hundred captive women kidnapped in Campania were thus freed, and the booty taken by the French in Naples fell in Genoese hands, being later partly used to fund the construction of the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato, while the rest was given as prize to the Genoese captains and crews. Among the items recovered were the bronze doors of Castel Nuovo, which were returned to the Neapolitans and which still bear the signs of damage caused by the battle. The loss of the logistical support of his fleet in the Tyrrhenian Sea contributed to hasten Charles VIII's decision to withdraw from Naples and return to France.

The is a Kofun period square-shaped burial mound, located in the Nakano neighborhood of the city of Tondabayashi, Osaka in the Kansai region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2002 collectively with the nearby Shindō temple ruins and the Oganji-ike tile kiln ruins. Overview The Okameishi Kofun is a -style tumulus with 21-meter square sides. It is located on a ridge that protrudes southeast from the Habino Hills at an elevation of 98 meters. No fukiishi have been found at the site.The tumulus is orientated to the south and has a horizontal grantite-lined burial chamber containing a house-shaped sarcophagus.The sarcophagus is made of white tuff from Mount Nijō and has a stone lid with six protrusions for hanging by ropes. As the lid has been exposed for a long time it has weathered and resembles the shape of a turtle, hence the name "Kameishi". An archaeological excavation in 2002 revealed that the entourage was originally closed with a river stone. Burial goods included shards of Sue ware pottery, which date the tumulus to the first half of the 7th century. An unusual feature is that many flat roof tiles from the Asuka period are stacked up around the sarcophagus forming a retaining wall. The tiles are the same type as the Baekje-style roof tiles used at the Shindō temple ruins located to the southeast, and may indicate that the person buried in this time had some close relationship with that temple. The tumulus is about a 15-minute walk from Tondabayashi Station on the Kintetsu Nagano Line.

We Want Freedom: A Life in the Black Panther Party is a memoir written by Mumia Abu-Jamal and published in 2004 by South End Press. Written while on death row and adapted from his master thesis, it tells the story of the Black Panther Party branch of Philadelphia through Abu-Jamal's perspective, including discussion on the FBI's Counter Intelligence Program impact on the group and its eventual dissolution. Style Published as a memoir, Abu-Jamal's book was noted by critics and historians to instead be focused on discussing and analysing the Black Panther Party (BPP)'s history and its impact on the author's contemporaries. Historian Robyn C. Spencer said in her analysis of We Want Freedom that it "does not unfold like a traditional autobiography" and could be classified as a "resistance narrative", a term used by literary scholar Margo V. Perkins to mean "a work where 'activists seek to document their experiences, to correct misinformation, to educate their readers, and to encourage the continuation of struggle.'" The book contains interviews with and works by members of the BPP and declassified FBI documents from the Counter Intelligence Program, all of which are used to tell the movements story while Abu-Jamal intersperses those with first person accounts, marked by the use of italics. According to Spencer, Abu-Jamal "writes as journalist, political commentator, organic intellectual, former Panther [and] current death row inmate." Reception A review published in the Reference and Research Book News commented on the lack of information about Abu-Jamal's own history as a member of Philadelphia's BPP and how it instead focus on the group itself. Publishers Weekly called We Want Freedom a "polemic-cum-history" and discussed the author's attempt "to place the Panthers within the noble tradition of African-American armed resistance". J. H. Smith, writing for Choice, praised the book "for its comprehensiveness, and the deftness by which it explains the appropriateness of human radicalism." Smith goes on to highlight Abu-Jamal's experience as a writer and how his time on death row "made him more insightful than bitter", and concludes the review by saying that "[c]overage of FBI actions and the role of Panther women, along with empathetic characterizations of Panther leaders, make the book worth the purchase." Spencer, who published an analysis of the book, calls We Want Freedom "a richly textured narrative that defies easy characterization." Spencer goes on to praise the fact the book contains analysis of the BPP "from a rank-and-file perspective", differing from most other works. She concludes by saying that the book "despite its flaws, will have an important place in the literature of the Black Panther Party."

Virgin Glykofilousa is an egg tempera painting by Andreas Karadinos. Karadinos was a Greek painter active from 1680 to 1740. He was a prominent member of the Heptanese School and a representative of the island of Kefalonia. His teacher was famous painter Stephanos Tzangarolas. Karadinos was an Archpresbyter. He was active during the Neo-Hellenikos Diafotismos and Greek Rococo period. One fresco and twenty-two of his paintings have survived. He was also a goldsmith. A unique inscription on a holy table at the church of Agios Spyridon in Kefalonia features important details about his life. Paintings of the Virgin Mary and child Jesus were extremely common in Greek-Italian Byzantine art. A very common position of child Jesus is the glykofilousa (Virgin of the sweet kiss) or eleusa (tenderness or showing mercy) position. Famous Greek painter Angelos Akotantos created many works in the style. Karadinos follows the prototype of his teacher Stephanos Tzangarolas. Tzangarola's painting Virgin Glykofilousa with the Akathist Hymn is very similar to Karadinos's work. Historians believe that the specific style of painting evolved in the late 1500s. Tzangarola and Karadinos may have copied an existing work that was on the island of Kefalonia around their time. The original painting did not survive but historical documents name the work of art. Historians refer to it as the Venier. It was in the Monastery Fanenton. Three works were completed that are very similar and can be attributed to Karadinos. The first was completed in 1715 and was part of the iconostasis in the church of Agios Andrea. The entire iconostasis was moved to the Korgialenio Historic and Cultural Museum. The second version of Virgin Glykofilousa was completed in 1723. The third version was finished in 1736, it is known as the Panagia Samis. It is part of the collection of the Kimisis Church of Panagia Sami (Κοίμησης της Παναγίας στη Σάμη). The latter two works were owned and commissioned by a noble family with the surname Aninos. The Virgin Glykofilousa was in the family's possession until the 20th century. The Virgin Glykofilousa was purchased in 1992. The painting was owned by Gerasimos Psemenatos. The painting was in Kefalonia. The icon became part of the Loverdos Collection. It is maintained by the Byzantine and Christian Museum. The painting is featured in the newly opened Loverdos Museum. Description The work of art is made of egg tempera paint and gold leaf on a wood panel. The height is 73 cm (28.7 in) and the width is 65 cm (25.5 in). It was completed in 1723. The painting was created in the traditional glykophilousa (Virgin of the sweet kiss) and eleusa Virgin (Virgin of compassion) position. The Virgin embraces young Jesus in her arms. The garments are colored in the traditional Greek-Italian Byzantine style. The work was heavily influenced by the Venetian painting style. The gold of her sumptuous gown is representative of the celestial realm from which she has descended. The luxuriant patterns and folds of fabric reflect the advancement of both Cretan Renaissance and Heptanese painting styles. The shadows of the clothing create a more natural realistic setting. The work strongly resembles Tzangarola's Virgin Glykofilousa with the Akathist Hymn. In Karadinos's painting the Virgin and Child both have accentuated curved facial features. The artist implemented a complex shadowing technique. In both the Tzangarola and Karadinos the young heavenly infant has very curly hair. A small figure appears at the bottom of the painting to our right. He is Bernardo (Vernardo) Aninou. The man is wearing a traditional Venetian garment reminiscent of the garments worn on the island of Kefalonia in the 1700s. The attire reflects his high position in society. Bernardo is also wearing a noble wig. There is a three-sentence inscription on the left of the small figure. The Greek writing is as follows: Servant of God Bernardo (Venardos) Aninos, while in the village Komitata a part of Eriso while sitting in his house, at the sixth hour of the day, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky and killed him he was age 35 in the month of January 24, 1723 (Δούλος τον Θεοϋ βενάρδος ο άνινος ών έν χωρίω Κομιτάτα μέρος Έρίσου έν τώ οϊκω αύτού καθεζόμενος ώρα έκτη τής ημέρας κεραυνός εξαίφνης πεσών εκ τού ουρανού κατέφλεξε και / έθανάτοσεν αυτόν εν έτει τής ήλικίας αυτού 35 έν μηνί Ιανουαρίου 24, 1723). History The painting style of the specific icon was adopted from both Titian and Raphael. Most of the famous Greek painters of the Cretan Renassascne copied either Titian or Tintoretto. The painting has a detailed history. The small inscription on the bottom of the work assisted historians in retracing the origin of the icon. According to the inscription, Bernardo Aninos died suddenly and tragically, from lightning, on January 24, 1723. The event took place inside Bernardο's house, in the village of Komitata, located on the west side of the Erissos peninsula, in the northern part of Kefalonia. The Aninos were one of the largest and most important families of Kefalonia. There are detailed accounts about the noble family in the Libro d'Oro. Doctor Janeto Bernardi Aninos was born in 1690 and died thirty-three years later in 1723. Janeto was the son of Micele Aninos. He had three children. The term doctor was used to refer to lawyers. Historical documents reveal valuable information about Bernardo. He was a lawyer. According to records, there is an inconsistency related to the year of his birth. According to the inscription, Bernardo died at the age of 35, while according to the Libro d'Oro he was born in 1690, so when he died in 1723 he was 33 years old. The testimony of the image can be considered more reliable because it was recorded immediately after the event. Bernardo's date of birth was actually two years before it was officially recorded by the Libro d'Oro. He was born in 1688. There was another important member of the family named Spyridon Aninos. He was a teacher and a very important bishop. The family-owned a church named Saint Spyridon in the village of Poulata in Sami. Karadinos had a close relationship with the noble family Aninos. In 1736, an abbot named Raphael Aninos commissioned a work that is nearly identical to the Virgin Glykofilousa. This is the third and final version associated with Karadinos. Around this period Karadinos also taught painting to a prominent member of the noble family named Athanasios Aninos (1713-1748). There was a second painter in the Aninos family named Andreas. He was also a deacon. Gallery References 18th-century paintings Paintings in Greece Paintings of the Heptanese School
Jakob Wilhelm Wartmann (* July 20, 1882 in St. Gallen; † July 28, 1970 in Zurich) was a Swiss art historian. He directed the Kunsthaus Zürich from 1909 to 1949. Early life Wilhelm Wartmann was born in 1882, the son of the historian Hermann Wartmann (1835-1929) and his wife Louise, née Hochreutiner. He grew up in St. Gallen and attended the Gymnasium of the Kantonsschule am Burggraben there. He then studied classical philology and history at the University of Zurich from 1902. He then continued his studies at the University of Paris and received his doctorate with the thesis Les vitraux suisses au Musée du Louvre on Swiss stained glass in the Louvre. Kunsthaus Zurich Wartmann came to the Kunsthaus Zürich in 1909, whose building, designed by the architect Karl Moser, was opened the following year. He started as first secretary of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, and from 1925 he was director of the museum. Waldmann initially concentrated on Swiss art, acquiring works of late Gothic painting and paintings by Johann Heinrich Füssli in addition to contemporary works. Among the important exhibitions of the first decade was a large show of paintings by Ferdinand Hodler in 1917. In the same year, Wartmann was one of the co-founders of the Vereinigung Zürcher Kunstfreunde (Zurich Art Friends Association), which continues to support the Kunsthaus in its acquisitions to this day. In 1920, the collection of Hans Schuler was bequeathed to the Kunsthaus. With paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Pierre Bonnard, works of French Impressionism and Late Impressionism could be shown for the first time. Wartmann organized an exhibition of paintings by the Norwegian Edvard Munch in 1922. The Kunsthaus later acquired the largest Munch collection outside Scandinavia, including Munch's portrait "Dr. Wilhelm Wartmann". Wartmann also acquired paintings by other Expressionist painters. He gathered significant works by artists such as Lovis Corinth, Oskar Kokoschka and Ferdinand Hodler. Wartmann's term of office saw the extension to Karl Moser's design in 1925, enlarging the Kunsthaus' exhibition space. He championed Félix Vallotton, to whom he dedicated exhibitions in 1928 and 1938. He also purchased several works by the artist. In 1929 he showed current artistic trends of surrealism in the exhibition Abstract and Surrealist Painting and Sculpture. Wartmann dedicated the first comprehensive retrospective outside France to Pablo Picasso in 1932. In 1933 he put on exhibitions with works by Fernand Léger and Juan Gris. Wartmann was a member of the Federal Art Commission from 1939 to 1944. In 1949, shortly before the end of his term, he integrated Leopold Ružička's art collection into the Kunsthaus Zürich, adding 17th-century Dutch works to the collection. His writings include numerous essays on art history, most of which he published in the monthly journal Das Kunsthaus, which he edited. In 1950 René Wehrli, who had already been his assistant since 1943, succeeded him as director. Wartmann was married to Anna Hedwig Ruch (1900-1980) and had two daughters. He died in Zurich in 1970.

Vidbir 2022 and subsequent withdrawal Pash entered Vidbir 2022 with the song "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors". She won the competition, allowing her to represent her country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. However, after the competition, the Ukrainian broadcaster UA:PBC began investigating a trip Pash had taken to Crimea in 2015, under the suspicion that Pash had broken the law by not travelling there through Ukraine. In a statement, UA:PBC said "the artist's representative falsified a certificate provided to UA:PBC. The artist agreed with this decision of the organizing committee." Following this investigation, it was decided via a mutual agreement between the broadcaster, Vidbir's organising committee and Pash that her participation in the contest would not go ahead. Kalush Orchestra, who placed second in Vidbir 2022, were later selected to represent Ukraine at Eurovision with the song "Stefania".

The Central Library of Politehnica University is the library of the Politehnica University of Timișoara. Between 1947 and 2014 it functioned in the Piarist High School ensemble. History The library was established with the Polytechnic Institute by royal decree in 1920. The activity of the library was started in the building of the primary school on Carol Telbisz Street, where it was active until 1947, when its collections were moved to the headquarters on Piatra Craiului Street. The first librarian mentioned in the institute's yearbooks was Eustațiu Pandele. On 15 March 1921, he registered the first book in the library's patrimony: Béton armé. Abaques pratiques pour l'établissement des hourdis et des poteaux, a French-language work published by M. Corset, a French engineer, in Paris in 1920. After only one year, in which he worked alone, followed a period of 16 years in which, in addition to the librarian, there is also mentioned a room warden, which demonstrates the increase in the number of publications and the number of readers. The activity of the library continued in all the past years, parallel to the activity of the institute, it being the one that provided the material support of the students' training and of the research activity. Because it was located in the center of Timișoara, but far from some faculties, the library had specialized branches at the faculties of Chemistry, Electro, Mechanics and Construction. Following the retrocession of the Piarist ensemble to the Catholic Church, a new headquarters was built for the library on Vasile Pârvan Boulevard, near the mentioned faculties, so that the branches were merged there. Construction work on the new building took eight years and cost about 16 million euros. The last 100 books were symbolically moved to the new location on 12 November 2014 by a human chain of 1,000 students. Collections The library contains about 700,000 volumes to which students of other universities in Timișoara also have access. The book fund mainly includes documents from technical fields, but also from other spheres of knowledge, being intended exclusively for loan. The collection of descriptions of inventions includes approximately 61,300 documents from all fields of activity. The library offers users a rich collection of Romanian and foreign periodicals. The collection of periodicals includes representative documents that have appeared over the years, especially in areas that cover technical disciplines. The first foreign periodical to be part of the Central Library's fund is Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft, published in Berlin in 1868. The oldest Romanian magazine kept in the library's collection, since its first issue, is Gazeta matematică and dates from 1897.

James Edward Brown (March 22, 1920 – April 11, 1992) was an American film and television actor. He was perhaps best known for playing "Lt. Ripley Masters" in the American western television series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. Life and career Brown was born in Desdemona, Texas. He attended at Baylor University, where Brown was a tennis player when he was a teenager. Brown began his career in 1941, where he played the uncredited role of the "Medic" in the film Ride, Kelly, Ride. He then became credited in the 1942 film The Forest Rangers. Brown starred, co-starred and appeared on films such as, The Good Fellows, Objective, Burma!, Gun Street, The Big Fix, When the Clock Strikes, Air Force, Irma la Douce, The Fabulous Texan, Young and Willing, The Gallant Legion, The Younger Brothers, Corvette K-225, Sands of Iwo Jima, Yes Sir, That's My Baby, Our Hearts Were Young Gay (and its sequel Our Hearts Were Growing Up), Chain Lightning, Missing Women, Inside the Mafia, The Groom Wore Spurs and Going My Way, among others. In 1954, Brown joined the cast of the new ABC western television series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, in which he played the role of "Lt. Ripley Masters". He starred alongside with actors, Lee Aaker, Joe Sawyer and Rand Brooks. After the series ended in 1959, Brown guest-starred in television programs, including, Gunsmoke, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Lassie (3 episodes), The Virginian, Laramie, Route 66, Barbary Coast, Daniel Boone, Bronco, Honey West and Murder, She Wrote. He retired his career somewhere in the 1960s, for which Brown created diving weighting systems and also became admired for his product. He then returned to acting in film and television in the 1970s. Brown played the recurring role of "Detective Harry McSween" in 39 episodes of the soap opera television series Dallas from 1979 to 1986.

Maya Tolstoy is a marine geophysicist known for her work on earthquakes in the deep sea. As of 2022, she is the Maggie Walker Dean in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. Education and career Tolystoy was interested in both science and theater while growing up, but a fascination with earthquakes led her to a career in geoscience. Tolstoy received her B.S. in geophysics from the University of Edinburgh in 1988 and earned a Ph.D. from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1994. Following her Ph.D., she was first a postdoctoral research at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and then at Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory. In 1996 she joined the faculty at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and was promoted to professor in 2016. In January 2022 she started her position as the Maggie Walker Dean of the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. Research Tolstoy is known for her research using sound in the ocean to deep-sea earthquakes. Her early research investigated a 2006 undersea eruption on the East Pacific Rise. While many of her instruments were trapped in lava, enough could be recovered to track the sequence of events that led to the eruption. Her subsequent research has examined earthquakes at Axial Seamount, the connections between tides and deep-sea earthquakes, and the along-axis flow of fluids at the East Pacific Rise. Tolstoy's research has linked changes in sea level with patterns of earthquake activity in the deep sea, research which has implications for the release of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. In 2010, Tolstoy used video image analysis to estimate the amount of oil released during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, research that was the first peer-reviewed presentation of this information. In addition to her research, Tolstoy led an initiative defining issues encountered by women in science that culminated in a 2018 report that presented issues at Columbia University, and she has worked to overcome issues in unequal treatment of women and minorities in hiring for academic positions. Tolstoy was also in the 2005 James Cameron film about the deep ocean Aliens of the Deep, and was a finalist in the 2009 astronaut interview process at NASA. Selected publications Awards and honors In 2009, Tolstoy received a Women of Discovery Award for her work on deep-sea exploration. She was a 2012 invited speaker at the Nobel Conference, and delivered the 2016 Francis Birch Lecture at the American Geophysical Union meeting.

F. M. B. "Marsh" Cook was a political candidate in Mississippi who was murdered by white supremacists for campaigning for a seat at Mississippi's 1890 Constitutional Convention. A Republican, he was campaigning Jasper County, Mississippi. He was ambushed by six men and shot 27 times. A historical marker commemorates his death. He was white. Mississippi's 1890 Constitutional Convention was organized to disenfranchise African American voters. Cook was an 1888 candidate for a seat in the U.S. Congress. Democrats had retaken control of Mississippi after the Reconstruction era. He was assasinated as he approached a log schoolhouse in a rural area. His body was found hours later by a woman. His murder received national news coverage. No one was ever prosecuted for it. Previous election campaign He contested his election loss to Chapman L. Anderson. Anderson recorded about five times as many votes as Cook in the November 1889 election.

Inga Humpe (born January 13, 1956, in Hagen) is a German singer, songwriter and producer. She performed with Neue Deutche Welle bands such as Neonbabies, DÖF and Humpe & Humpe. Her sister is the singer and producer Annette Humpe, with whom she performed regularly during her career. The song "Riding into the Blue (Cowboy Song)" produced by Trevor Horn became a minor hit in 1990. Later that year she released a solo album Planet Oz. She currently is in the band 2raumwohnung and lives in Berlin. Career In 1979 Humpe founded the band Neonbabies together with her sister Annette in Berlin. In 1981 the band released a self-titled album featuring Inga on lead-vocals. Her sister left to form the band Ideal prior to the release. After two further German-language albums, the band folded in 1983. In the same year, she featured on the self-titled DÖF album produced by Annette that spawned the single "Codo" featuring her vocals. In 1984, she featured and co-produced the Palais Schaumburg album Parlez-vous Schaumburg with Gareth Jones. The following year, she rejoined her sister to from the duo Humpe & Humpe and released a self-titled album. In 1987, they released the album Swimming with Sharks in English. It was marketed outside Germany without the bandname as it was felt the name would cause confusion. As international success remained elusive, the duo went their separate ways, with Annette concentrating on production. To further her career, Inga moved to England where she worked a guest vocalist for Johnny Logan and Howard Jones. Inga Humpe 's first solo album was released in 1990 under the title Planet Oz, where she collaborated with a number of producers and writers. It included the single "Riding Into Blue (Cowboy Song)", written and produced by Trevor Horn. She also worked with Thomas Fehlman and Andy Richards and recorded covers of "Somethin' Stupid" and the Pet Shop Boys' "Do I Have To". In 1995 she had returned to Germand and rejoined her sister as the duo Bamby and released the album Wall of Sugar. Throughout her career Humpe often featured as a guest vocalist, notably on recordings by the artists Stephan Remmler, Falco and Marc Almond. She also co-wrote a number of songs for others, including "Automatic Love" for Kylie Minogue. In 2000 she formed the duo 2raumwohnung with her life-partner Tommi Eckart with whom she has been producing mostly electronic music in Germany. In 2019, she published the co-authored book Wir trafen uns in einem Garten with photographs, biographical details and song lyrics.

The Vanishing Hotel Room (also known as The Vanishing Lady) is an urban legend which claims that during an international exposition in Paris, a daughter left her mother in a hotel room and when she came back her mother was gone and the hotel staff claimed to have no knowledge of the missing woman. Legend According to the legend, a woman was taken ill while traveling in a foreign country with her daughter. While she lied down in her hotel bed, the daughter made a trip across town to pick up a needed prescription. When she returned, she found that her mother, as well as the hotel room that they stayed in, have disappeared. No one remembered having seen either her or her mother. Origin According to the Quote Investigator website and Bonnie Taylor-Blake, the author of the earliest known instance of the legend was Nancy Vincent McClelland who wrote a version in an article titled "A Mystery of the Paris Exposition" in The Philadelphia Inquirer dated November 14, 1897. The QI and Taylor-Blake also found a version of the legend in the Detroit Free Press in 1898 titled "Porch Tales: The Disappearance of Mrs. Kneeb", which designated Kenneth Herford as the author. It is theorised that "Kenneth Herford" was a pen name for Karl Harriman. Variations There are multiple variations of the "Vanishing Hotel Room" story. Usually, the story is set in Paris, France, during the Paris Exposition of 1889 or 1900, where, most commonly, a woman with her daughter have just traveled. Sometimes the women in the story aren't related; they're traveling companions of roughly the same age, and on rare occasions, both the searcher and the one sought after are male. Usually, the daughter gets sent to a mental hospital, where she spends rest of her days. In the version printed in the July 6 and July 13, 1929, issue of The New Yorker, it was revealed that the mother had died of Black Plague and the hotel management and the police had kept her death a secret so that the visitors to the city would not leave. In popular culture The story inspired several novels: The End of Her Honeymoon by Marie Belloc Lowndes (1913), She Who Was Helena Cass by Lawrence Rising (1920), The Vanishing Of Mrs. Fraser by Basil Thomson (1925) and The Torrents of Spring by Ernest Hemingway (1926), as well as following films: The Midnight Warning (1932), The Lady Vanishes (1938), Covered Tracks (1938), So Long at the Fair (1950), The Forgotten (2004) and Flightplan (2005). It was also featured as a "true story" in a 2002 episode of the Fox television program Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. References American legends Urban legends Paris in fiction

Haig H. Kazazian, Jr. (July 30, 1937 – January 19/20, 2022) was a professor in the Department of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Kazazian was an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Kazazian determined the molecular basis of single-gene genetic disorders such as hemoglobinopathies and hemophilia and introduced prenatal diagnosis for such disorders. His group was the first to identify a disease-causing mutation resulting from jumping genes in humans. After this discovery, he focused on basic research into LINE retrotransposition in humans and its implications for disease. Early life and education Kazazian's Armenian father (also Haig H. Kazazian) was from Kayseri, Turkey. He was sent to the Ras el Ain concentration camp in Syria as part of the Armenian genocide, but escaped in 1918 and arrived in the U.S. in 1923. Kazazian's mother Hermine left Istanbul and arrived in the U.S. in 1920. They married on January 1, 1929. Haig Hagop Kazazian, Jr. was born in Toledo, Ohio, on July 30, 1937. He grew up speaking Armenian, Turkish and English. Kazazian attended Dartmouth College, receiving his A.B. degree from Dartmouth College in 1959, followed by a two-year program at Dartmouth Medical School. He completed his M.D. degree at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1962 and interned in pediatrics at the University of Minnesota. Career Kazazian returned to Baltimore, Maryland as a postdoctoral fellow, studying the genetics of fruit flies and X chromosome inactivation with Barton Childs at Johns Hopkins (1964–1966) In 1966 he joined Harvey Itano at the National Institutes of Health, working as a staff associate for the US Public Health Service. In Itano's labotory, Kazazian worked on hemoglobin regulation. Kazazian joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins in 1969. He became a full professor, heading the Pediatric Genetics Unit, in 1977. In 1979, he established one of the first DNA diagnostic laboratories, providing molecular detection facilities for identifying monogenic disorders. He introduced prenatal diagnosis for hemoglobin disorders. In 1988, Kazazian became Director of the Center for Medical Genetics at Johns Hopkins. From 1988 to 1994, he and Maxine Singer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) held joint quarterly lab meetings, sharing their knowledge of the biochemistry and genetics. Kazazian and Richard Cotton were founding co-editors of the journal Human Mutation, which appeared in 1992. Kazazian became a co-editor of the journal Mobile DNA in 2015. In 1994 Kazazian became Chair of the Department of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, holding the position until 2006. He remained at the University of Pennsylvaniaf as the Seymour Gray Professor of Molecular Medicine in Genetics from 2006 to 2010. In 1999, Kazazian and Arupa Ganguly joined the plaintiffs for Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., after they were served with a cease-and-desist letter demanding that they stop breast cancer screenings for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In a unanimous ruling in 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that companies cannot patent parts of naturally occurring human genes. The Court stated that "a naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated, but manmade cDNA is patent eligible because it is not naturally occurring." In July 2010, Kazazian returned to Johns Hopkins, holding the position of a Professor in the Institute of Genetic Medicine. He closed his laboratory there in 2020. Kazazian's book Mobile DNA: Finding Treasure in Junk (2011) gives an overview of research on transposable elements. It does a "remarkable job" of discussing early contributors, the development of computational biology, and the field of mobile DNA and retrotransposable elements. Although the initial chapters of background information on the field have been criticized as less interesting than later and more personal chapters, the account is credited with vividly illustrating "both the destructive and constructive facets of transposition in the genome". Kazazian died on January 19 or 20, 2022 in Towson, Maryland. Research Kazazian made important contributions to human genetics through his research into DNA haplotypes and the molecular basis of beta thalassemia and through his exploration of retrotransposons (jumping genes). Much of his early research focused on the regulation of hemoglobin synthesis and its implications for the human blood disorder β-thalassemia. Using information on β-globin DNA polymorphisms from Stylianos Antonarakis and others, Kazazian helped develop methods for prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell anemia. Coining the term haplotypes for certain types of polymorphisms, Kazazian collaborated with Stuart Orkin to characterize the mutations causing beta-thalassemia. He used haplotypes to classify β-thalassemia mutations in patients from around the world and to prenatally identify β-thalassemia. In the 1980s, Kazazian began to study the factor 8 blood-clotting gene, which was known to be defective in hemophilia A. Lab member Hagop Youssoufian found a long interspersed nuclear element (LINE) insertion, a mobile DNA element or transposon colloquially known as a “jumping gene”. Jumping genes were discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock. The Kazazian lab was the first to discover a jumping gene in humans, and to demonstrate that a transposable element caused disease in man via insertional mutagenesis. Kazazian expanded this work to mouse models, providing evidence that active retrotransposons occur in other mammals. Since then Kazazian has focused on basic research into LINE retrotransposition in humans, and the role of jumping genes in human disease. Retrotransposons copy and insert themselves into new locations in the genome. As a postdoctoral fellow with Kazazian, John Moran developed a cell culture assay to detect retrotransposition. They determined that the average human genome has 80–100 active LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons, a handful of which are very active. Kazazian's lab also discovered SVA, a short interspersed nuclear element (SINE) and active jumping gene. In addition to understanding diseases, studying L1 insertions enables researchers to learn about human diversity. Kazazian's studies with rodents suggest that retrotransposition tends to occur during early embryonic development. Kazazian found that retrotransposon mobility causes shuffling of exons and their flanking sequences, a discovery with important implications for the understanding of evolution. Kazazian has also investigated the possibility that LINE-1 jumping genes play a role in cancer. He and others have observed instances of new insertions of jumping genes in some cancers, but he could not determine whether LINE-1 genes drive cancer development or are a side effect of cancer.

Bruceantin is a chemical compound that was first isolated from the plant Brucea antidysenterica in 1973. Chemically, it is classified as a secotriterpenoid and a quassinoid. Bucreantin has attracted interest as a potential antitumor drug because of its antineoplastic activity. It inhibits the peptidyl transferase elongation reaction, resulting in decreased protein and DNA synthesis. Bruceantin also has antibiotic, antiamoebic, and antimalarial activity. Phase I and II clinical trials were conducted for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and malignant melanoma, but tumor regression was not observed and clinical development was terminated.

Villers-le-Temple is a village and district of the municipality of Nandrin, located in the province of Liège in Wallonia, Belgium. The location has been inhabited at least since the Neolithic and the village derives its name from a Roman villa that was located here. During the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Knights Templar until their suppression in 1313. It then passed to the Order of Malta, which retained the village until 1795.There are still substantial remains of the medieval commandery of the Templars in the village. The chancel of the village church is also medieval, Late Gothic from the 16th century, while much of the rest of the building is from the 17th century. There is also a manor (Manoir de la Tour) traceable to the 14th century in the village. References External links Populated places in Liège (province)
Edition Leipzig was a publisher in the German Democratic Republic (GDR/DDR), which, for the most part, placed books on Western markets as an export publisher. This was intended to serve representative purposes as well as to procure foreign currency. Today, the publishing house is part of the Seemann Henschel publishing group, which was taken over by in October 2017 with a program on regional and cultural history. From 1960 to 1984 more than book titles were published, of which more than 500 were published in foreign languages and about 60 even in multilingual versions. In the first phase, which lasted up to 1965, the publication of scientific and technical books predominated. Later, cultural and art historical as well as popular scientific works were added to a greater extent. The Edition Leipzig became known for high-quality facsimiles and historical reprints. Fictional titles were rare, and marketing for this genre was discontinued as it was seen as not being profitable enough due to the publisher's lack of market presence in the relevant target countries. Founding era The idea to create a book publishing house directly connected to a related (Foreign trade institution) was first formulated in 1956. The publishing house Edition Leipzig was then founded in Leipzig in 1960. The name Edition Leipzig allowed to publish books in Western countries and in particular the old Federal Republic of Germany (FRG/BRD) also from GDR publishers which were the result of expropriations from traditional publishers and for which namesake publishers existed in West Germany as a continuation of the traditional publishers such as , Reclam or Meyer. The West German publishers in question actively boycotted the appearance of their namesake GDR publishers, so that the latter could not market their publishing program especially on the West German market. These GDR publishers were typically also not allowed to take part at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The elaborations that led to the founding of the publishing house Edition Leipzig began at the headquarters of E. A. Seemann in Leipzig. Edition Leipzig was initially granted hospitality rights in the Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft Geest & Portig (AVG). It was not until 20 June 1960 that Edition Leipzig moved into its own permanent premises at Karlstrasse 20. At first, books were taken over from other GDR specialist publishers. Standard works which could be easily placed on the market were the first choice. Until 1965, scientific and technical titles prevailed in the GDR. The first book, which was published by Edition Leipzig, was the "" (Handbook of mathematics) by Ilya Nikolaevich Bronshtein and Konstantin Adolfovic Semendyayev by B. G. Teubner Verlag. Between 1958/1961 and 1969/1970, 10 editions were published through Edition Leipzig and Verlag Harri Deutsch to Western countries, whereas Teubner focused on the local market. One of the first titles developed by Edition Leipzig itself was the book "" (Look it up: Facts about the German Democratic Republic), which in 1961 was launched in 17 languages simultaneously. This was followed by art prints about monuments, picture galleries and state museums of the GDR. A "" (Technical basics) series, published in several languages, was specially designed for Third World countries. Co-production with foreign publishers was sought early on in order to improve the sales opportunities at the respective foreign markets. Reissue of rare old books Since the production was not bound by the normal conditions of capitalism and also was intended to represent the GDR in the Western world, some high-quality books came onto the market that are still valuable today. In particular through facsimile processing of old library stocks using the collotype process, broader readerships were enabled to access rare books otherwise impossible to read. Works that were particularly elaborate in terms of printing and binding were published in limited editions. A highlight of these editions was the "" (Book of hours) of Louis I of Orléans, which, in 1980, appeared in a print run of only 800 copies at a price of marks. Earlier re-editions were from the third/fourth century "Proverbial codex", an "ancient Egyptian otherworld guide to Amun-em-uja" from the papyrus collection of the Berlin State Museums, the Hebrew manuscript "" from the Leipzig University Library, the "" by Peter Apian and "" (Africa from maps of the 12th to 18th centuries). The "" from the Berlin State Library published in a magnificent edition in 1971 was the most expensive undertaking until that date at marks. However, at 85 × 125 cm, the facsimile was only half the size of the original. Other works were a selection from "The Birds of America", the "", the "" (Leningrad study book - butterflies, bugs, insects), "America in Maps", the "" (Picture books for children) or the poor's bible "". After 1980, works such as the "" (Lorraine apocalypse), a bible print or the "", which, even at a price of marks, could not cover the production costs. Other examples from the 1980s are the works "" (Berlin architectural drawings 1870–1890) (1987) and "" (Asia on maps from the 12th century to the mid-19th century) (1989). The series "" (Library of old culinary works) was less ambitious, however, it is still a valuable source for fans of old cookbooks. The series "" (Historical children's books) was particularly popular with it historical reprints. These were, however, not facsimiles, but reset books aimed to be similar to the original. Details such as mold stains or small damages caused by the users of the original were thus not reproduced. Other titles were the oldest version of the "" (First Novgorod chronicle) (1016–1352) with the first German translation, or the "" from 1831. Also, the series "" (Historical card games) which first appeared in 1967 can be counted to this type of productions. Era of exclusive in-house production in the GDR Around 1970–1971, the publishing house had established itself on the market. It produced only its own productions, with thematically related series being grouped together. This is how the series "" (The image of women) came about with works such as "" (The ancient Egyptian woman), "" (The Muslim woman) or "" (The socialist woman). Works such as "" (History of natural sciences) were published in a series called "" (Scientific collection). The animal book series included works such as "" (The big cat book). The series "" (World cities of art) was published in several languages from 1965 to 1981. The series "" (Art monuments in socialist countries) contains many titles. Thereby, a sales problem arose due to the high selling prices and other reasons. Since the books were not aimed at the domestic market, it was not possible to produce large enough print runs to be more profitable. Due to the high competitive pressure, the method of producing works of the highest quality, which had been successfully used in other areas, didn't prove to be very successful in this area. Some series were therefore quickly discontinued. Works such as "" (The artist and his workshop) or "" (Animal pictures) fell under the series heading "" (Art books for children). Despite the initial enthusiasm, this proved to be a less successful concept overall, as it did not sell very well in the foreign markets. With the facsimile of the "" (Meißner pattern book for Höroldt Chinoiseries) a series on the subject of porcelain art was introduced. It contained works that had, for example, Meissen porcelain in Art Nouveau as their theme. Books such as "" (Historical targets) or "" (Seafarers' souvenirs) were published in a series named "" (Cultural-historical miniatures). Popular scientific non-fiction books such as "" (Mythical creatures and demons, a cultural history of hybrid creatures) or "" (Beakers, tankards and cups, a cultural history of drinking and drinking vessels) were published in this second period under the heading of cultural history. In addition, works such as the "" (Battles of world history) or "" (The Hanseatic League and the British Empire) are to be grouped into this genre as well. The actually formulated "didactic purpose" of books with such a selection of topics from different scientific areas was to help improve insight on connections and relations and thus to train the power of judgment. Archival material from the publisher is now in the . After the German reunification In 1992, combined the art publishers , Edition Leipzig and / with other publishers in a publishing group, separating the programs: Seemann took over the fine arts, whereas Edition Leipzig took the regional and cultural history, and Henschelverlag the performing arts. Since April 2003, Dornier sold these three art publishers to new shareholders, operating now with the fourth publisher, , under the name of the publishing group Seemann Henschel GmbH & Co. KG. In terms of content, the Edition Leipzig is still very much in line with the focus of the original edition established in the GDR. For example, themes such as Meissen porcelain, glass painting or Saxony's palaces, castles and gardens are dealt with in entire book series. In addition, selected older successful titles are made available again. See also Notes References Further reading (NB. First edition: ISBN 978-3-86153-523-2.

Hadiqat Al Akhbar (Arabic: حديقة الاخبار; The News Garden) was an Arabic newspaper which was published in Beirut in the period 1858–1911 with a two-year interruption. Its subtitle was Ṣaḥīfat Sūriyah wa-Lubnān (Newspaper of Syria and Lebanon in Arabic). The paper was the first private daily in Beirut and the first Arabic newspaper which had a regular literary section. History and profile Hadiqat Al Akhbar was launched by Khalil Al Khuri, a Syrian, in Beirut as an Arabic publication. The financier of the paper of which the first issue appeared on 29 June 1858 was Michel Médawar. He was a Greek Catholic merchant working at the French Consulate in Beirut as an interpreter. Its publisher was Al Matbaa Al Suriyya which was owned by Al Khuri. He also edited the paper which began to be published both in Arabic and French from 1870. The French edition was entitled Hadiqat Al Akhbar. Journal de Syrie et Liban. The other contributors and Al Khuri were members of the Médawar Literary Circle. Selim Nauphal was the editor who translated and serialized the French novels in the paper. Antonius Ameuney was the contributor of the paper based in London.

Stronghold is a series of real-time strategy video games developed by Firefly Studios and set in medieval times. Games Stronghold Stronghold: Crusader The second installment, Stronghold: Crusader, was released in September 2002. The gameplay is similar to the first game, but with enhanced RTS elements and with all maps and missions set entirely in the Middle Ages in the Middle East. The focus was radically influenced by fortification and siege technologies developed during the Crusades. The entire campaign, as well as the "Conquest Trail" game mode, takes place during the Third Crusade. Unlike the original Stronghold, however, there are four separate, linear campaigns. The game does take history into effect: Saladin and Richard I of England are present as the game's AI characters for the player to side with or against. In addition, the player is allowed to play either as an Arabic lord or as a European king with little difference between the two options except which units the player begins with. A combination pack of Stronghold and Stronghold: Crusader, called Stronghold Warchest, was later released with all patches applied, new maps, and a new campaign trail and AI characters in Crusader. Stronghold 2 The direct sequel to the first game and the third overall game in the series, Stronghold 2, was released in April 2005. The game engine was enhanced to provide fully 3D graphics. Other changes include new military and peace campaigns and the addition of crime and punishment. It also included many new characters and changed the types of walls and towers that can be added to a castle. However, the series' unique real-time map editor was replaced with a still-life one. Upon its release, many players were outraged by the game's frequent crashes, lag (even while playing offline on a computer with exceptional hardware), and overall buggy nature. Firefly Studios paid much attention to the gaming community's complaints, and promised fixes in later patches. The majority of complaints stopped with patch 1.2. Patch 1.3.1, released on October 28, 2005, brought a "Conquest Trail" to the game, similar to that of Stronghold: Crusader. Stronghold 2 Deluxe was later released, containing all of the patches and new content. Critically, Stronghold 2 received generally mixed reviews, with criticism directed at the bugs present in the initial release and the gameplay. To promote Stronghold 2, a ten-level Flash game was created, called Castle Attack 2. The aim of the game was to balance building a castle and defending it. Stronghold Legends The fourth game in the series, Stronghold Legends, contains 24 missions spanning three different campaigns: King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, Count Vlad Dracul, and Siegfried of Germany. This sequel contains a new feature that allows the player to control human and mythical armies. Creatures like dragons and witches can be created in Stronghold Legends. Stronghold Crusader Extreme The fifth game, Stronghold Crusader Extreme, is largely the same as Stronghold: Crusader, but with an expanded unit cap, allowing thousands of units to be on screen at once (instead of the hundreds in Stronghold: Crusader). It also includes an updated version of the original Stronghold: Crusader game with new AI and maps. Stronghold Kingdoms Stronghold Kingdoms is the first MMO-style game in the Stronghold series. In this free-to-play game, players can anticipate a world filled with elements from the first game of the series. Stronghold 3 Stronghold 3 is a 2011 real-time strategy game and the seventh in the series after several spin-offs, a remake, and an MMORTS. It is a direct sequel to Stronghold and Stronghold 2. Unlike previous games in the series, which were published by Take-Two Interactive, the game was published by SouthPeak Games, the new parent company of Gamecock Media Group, publisher of Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Stronghold Crusader II Stronghold Crusader II is the next title in Firefly Studios' Stronghold franchise, released on September 23, 2014. Stronghold: Warlords Stronghold: Warlords is a real-time strategy game by Firefly Studios. It was revealed during E3 2019 and was originally planned to be released on September 29, 2020, but was delayed to January 26, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to further issues regarding multiplayer, the release date was moved back another six weeks, and was finally released on March 9, 2021. References Video game franchises introduced in 2001

The Willow was a side-wheel steamship built in 1924–27 to resemble a 19th-century Mississippi riverboat. She originally served on the Mississippi as a buoy tender, later as a berthing hulk, and later still was rebuilt as a showboat. United States Lighthouse Service The Willow was commissioned into the U.S. Lighthouse Service on October 7, 1927. Captain Thomas B. Good prepared her original design, which was modified by the U.S. Navy; the modifications led to her drawing significantly more water than desired. Captain Good took command in April 1928. She was home-ported at Memphis, Tennessee, and overwintered in New Orleans. Because she was underpowered, her spring departure upriver was sometimes delayed because she could not travel against the strong early season currents of the Mississippi. Her principal duty was installation and maintenance of navigation aids such as buoys, channel markers, fog horns, and beacons. Much of the work had to be done from ship's boats because her deep draft often kept her away from the shore. United States Coast Guard The U.S Lighthouse Service was merged into the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939 and Willow received her designation as the cutter WAGL-253. Her duties remained the same as before the merger. She had a racially integrated crew and "a family atmosphere". One incident is known from her USCG period: On December 15, 1944, she and LST-841 collided and both sustained damage. On March 1, 1945, Willow was decommissioned by the Coast Guard and transferred to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. United States Army Corps of Engineers The Corps of Engineers removed all of Willows propulsion gear including the sidewheels. The Corps also removed the original small pilothouse from atop the second deck and added a full third deck. She then served as living quarters for work crews. In late World War II and for a time after, some of the crews were German POWs. The Corps sold Willow in 1962. Private ownership The Willows first private owner was A.J. Baron, who intended to convert her to a floating hotel and restaurant. He was unable to reach that goal and in 1965 sold Willow to W.S. Young Construction. Young Construction towed her to New Orleans but she was run aground in LaPlace, Louisiana, by hurricane Betsy in September 1965. Abandoned there, she suffered from weather and vandals until seized by the U.S. Marshalls Service, which sold her to a Frieda Parker at auction. Parker sold her to Belizian Industries who intended to use her as a lobster factory in what was then British Honduras. That plan also did not materialize. A Paul Jennings purchased Willow in 1973 and renamed her The Good Life Showboat. He intended to make her into a museum and park before the 1976 Bicentennial. That plan ended when in September 1975 hurricane Eloise drove her aground in Panama City Beach, Florida. The next owner, a Bob Snow, bought her in 1979, freed her from the beach, and towed her to Bayou Chico near Pensacola, Florida. He wanted to make her an attraction at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition but was unable to do so. In February 1989 the former Willow was bought by a United Kingdom based leisure company. They refloated her in July 1989 and transported her to Belgium on a heavy lift ship. At Nieuwe Schelderwrven Shipyards she was restored to an approximation of her original Mississippi riverboat appearance. As of late 1991 the plan was to moor her on the River Thames in London opposite HMS Belfast but nothing is known of her beyond that date.

Juan Manuel García-Gallardo Frings (born 1991) is a Spanish lawyer and politician of the Vox party. He led the party in the 2022 Castilian-Leonese regional election, in which they became the third-biggest group in the Cortes of Castile and León. Biography Born in Burgos, García-Gallardo is a graduate in law from the Comillas Pontifical University with a diploma in International Legal Studies before achieving a double master's degree in Access to the Legal Profession and Business Law from the University of Deusto. He won regional titles in horse riding, and took part in the debating world championship in Madrid in 2013. In December 2016 he joined the law firm of his grandfather and father, both also named Juan Manuel. In January 2022, García-Gallardo was announced as the lead candidate for Vox in snap elections to the Cortes of Castile and León. He had joined the party only the previous June. Soon after his nomination, he deleted historical tweets that he had made about LGBT people, feminists, Romani and immigrants; in 2011 he had written "It seems a good idea to me to bring back Raúl for the Euros. We need to heterosexualise this sport that's full of faggots". He defended this particular remark as "a football joke when I didn't even have a moustache". During the campaign, he pledged to align with the governing People's Party (PP), whom he considered to be "addicted to power". He said that there would be no alliance unless the PP enacted Vox's policies, which included financial incentives to increase the birth rate in the region. In the election, Vox rose from one deputy to 13, with 17% of the vote, making it the third biggest party in the legislature.

CrysTBox (Crystallographic Tool Box) is a suite of computer tools for crystallographic visualization and analysis of transmission electron microscope images. Relying on artificial intelligence and computer vision, CrysTBox makes routine crystallographic analyses simpler, faster and more accurate compared to human evaluators. The high level of automation, sub-pixel precision and interactive visualization makes the quantitative crystallographic analysis accessible even for non-crystallographers. Therefore, CrysTBox is suitable not only for experienced material scientists, but also for students and interdisciplinary researchers. By 2021, the suite has been deployed in research and educational facilities in more than 80 countries. CrysTBox is being developed in the Laboratory of electron microscopy at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. For academic purposes, it is available for free. Suite As a scientific tool, CrysTBox suite is freely available for academic purposes, it supports file formats widely used in the community and offers interconnection with other scientific software. Availability CrysTBox is freely available on demand for non-commercial use by non-commercial subjects. Commercial use is not allowed due to the license of MATLAB used for CrysTBox compilation. Input data The primary input is the structure of sample material. In CrysTBox, materials can be specified using Crystallographic information file or by creating a simple text file. A basic set of several hundred materials is included in the CrysTBox package. Other materials can be obtained via databases such as Crystallography Open Database or Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. Analytical tools also require the image to be processed (electron diffraction, high-resolution image etc.). Supported image formats include common formats such as PNG, JPEG, BMP or TIFF as well as specialized ones – DM2 a DM3. Example images are included allowing the user to get familiar with individual tools. Connectivity The tools can be used separately as well as chained together – for instance the sample orientation can be determined using diffractGUI and consequently visualized in cellViewer as an appropriately oriented unit cell accompanied by a simulated diffraction pattern. The tools can be also launched by other software through commands passed via a special text file. This allows CrysTBox to be interconnected with other software such as DigitalMicrograph 1 and 2 which supports user-friendly scripting of data acquisition and processing. Limitations and disadvantages CrysTBox is compiled to a stand-alone installers using MATLAB Compiler. Therefore, 1-2 GB of MATLAB libraries are installed together with the toolbox. The diffraction simulation used in cellViewer is based on kinematic diffraction theory. This allows for a real-time response to user interaction, but it does not cover advanced diffraction features like double diffraction covered by dynamical diffraction theory. The analytical tools provide correction for scale calibration imperfections, but does not provide adjustment for image distortions such as elliptical distortion. If high-accuracy measurement is needed or if the distortion exceeds standard levels, appropriate tools should be applied prior to the analysis. Crystallographic visualization tools In order to visualize functional relations and provide better understanding of experimental data, the graphical interface emphasize user interactivity and functional interconnection. There are two visualization tools in the suite: one depicting single material while another being focused on intergrowths of two different materials. cellViewer - single crystal visualization CellViewer allows to visualize the sample material in four modes widely used in material research: 3D model of atomic structure (direct space), simulated diffraction pattern (reciprocal space), stereographic projection (projection of 3D space of crystallographic planes and directions to 2D), inverse pole figure (defined part of stereographic projection). Graphical user interface provides user with two interactive views side by side. These views can display arbitrary combination of the four aforementioned visualization modes allowing to perceive their mutual relations. For instance, rotation of the atomic structure in direct space leads (if set so) to an instant update of the simulated diffraction pattern. If any diffraction spot is selected, corresponding crystallographic planes are shown in the unit cell etc. Such interconnections are implemented for each pair of the four available visualization modes. The electronic visualization allows to simplify understanding of widely used, yet less intuitive representations such as the inverse pole figure. For instance by drawing the coloured triangle of the inverse pole figure into the stereographic projection or to the more intuitive 3D atomic structure. ifaceViewer - intergrowth visualization The ifaceViewer allows for visualization of two misoriented materials and their interface such as crystal twins or grain boundaries. The user interface provides three views: two smaller views, each depicting one unit cell of selected material and orientation, and a larger view depicting an appropriate interface of the two structures. The interface can be visualized in four modes: 3D model of both unit cells, wire-frame model of both unit cells, cross section of the interface, bulk representation (up to several hundred atoms). All three views in the user interface are functionally interconnected. If the content of one view is rotated by the user, the other views follow. If a crystallographic plane or direction is selected in one view, it is shown in other views and corresponding crystallographic indices are stated. The tool also allows to highlight coincident site lattice or calculate the list of planes and directions which are parallel or nearly parallel in the two misoriented materials. Automated analysis of TEM images CrysTBox offers tools for automated processing of diffraction patterns and high-resolution transmission electron microscope images. Since the tools employ algorithms of artificial intelligence and computer vision, they are designed to require minimal operator effort providing higher accuracy compared to manual evaluation. Four analytical tools can be used to index diffraction patterns, measure lattice constants (distances and angles), sample thickness etc. Despite the high level of automation, the user is able to control the whole process and perform individual steps manually if needed. diffractGUI - HRTEM and diffraction processing DiffractGUI allows for an automated analysis of diffraction patterns and high-resolution images of single crystal or limited number of crystallites. It is able to determine crystal orientation, index individual diffraction spots and measure interplanar angles and distances in picometric precision. The input image may depict: selected area diffraction pattern, high-resolution image, nanodiffraction pattern or convergent beam electron diffraction. The input image is processed in the following steps: Preprocessing with accordance to the settings and image nature (resolution and noise reduction, Fourier transform for direct space images etc.). Detection of diffraction reflections at various scales (difference of Gaussians typically used for spot detection, Hough transform for CBED disk detection). The strongest detections are selected across the scale space. A regular lattice is fit to the set of the strongest detections using RANSAC algorithm. Lengths and angles of the lattice basis vectors are measured. Crystal lattice orientation is determined and diffraction reflections are identified using theoretical parameters of the sample material. Compared to human evaluation, diffractGUI considers tens or even hundreds of diffraction spots at once and, therefore, can localize the pattern with sub-pixel precision. ringGUI - ring diffraction analysis RingGUI allows for an automated processing of ring diffraction images of polycrystalline or powder samples. It can be used to identify the diffraction rings, quantify the interplanar distances and thus characterize or identify the sample material. With known material, it can assist in microscope calibration. The input image is processed as follows: beam-stopper detection, localization of the ring center, quantification of the diffraction profile and estimation of its background intensity, identification of the rings in the image (peaks in the profile). The results can be further processed and visualized in two interactive, functionally interconnected graphical elements: Interactive diffraction image – allows the user to improve readability of the diffraction image by removing the beam-stopper, subtracting the background, revealing faint or spotty rings or by crystallographic identification of the depicted rings. Diffraction profile – circular average of the image intensities depicts the peaks corresponding to the rings and their match with theoretical values known for given sample material. Both, the diffraction image as well as diffraction profile can be used to select diffraction rings with a mouse click. The corresponding ring is then highlighted in both graphical representations and details are listed. twoBeamGUI - sample thickness estimation Sample thickness can be estimated using twoBeamGUI from a convergent beam electron diffraction pattern (CBED) in two beam approximation. The procedure is based on an automated extraction of the intensity profile across the diffracted disk in the following steps: diffraction disk radius is determined using multi-scale Hough transform, the transmitted and diffracted disks are localized and the reflection is indexed, the disks are horizontally aligned, cropped out and profiles are measured across the disks, the profile across the diffracted disk is matched with a series of profiles automatically simulated for given material, reflection and specified thickness range. Once the procedure is completed, the measured profile and the most similar simulated profile are displayed with the diffracted disk on the background. This allows the user to verify correctness of the automated estimate and easily check the similarity of other intensity profiles within the specified thickness range. gpaGUI - geometric phase analysis The tool called gpaGUI provides an interactive interface for geometric phase analysis. It allows to generate 2D maps of various crystallographic quantities using high-resolution images. Since the geometric phase analysis is performed in [frequency domain]], the high-resolution image needs to be transformed into frequential representation using Fourier transform. Mathematically, the frequential image is a complex matrix with the size equal to the original image. Crystallographically, it can be seen as an artificial diffraction pattern of the original image depicting intensity peaks corresponding to the crystallographic planes present in the original image. After performing desired calculations, the frequential representation can be transformed back to the original spatial domain using inverse Fourier transform. Various crystallographic analyses can be performed using the frequential image. If it is filtered so that only the information from a region close to a particular diffraction spot is used (the rest is set to zero), a filtered direct image obtained by inverse Fourier transform then depicts only the planes corresponding to the selected diffraction spot. Moreover, due to its complex nature, the frequential image can be used to calculate amplitude and phase. Together with a vector of one crystallographic plane depicted in the image, they can be used to generate a 2D map interplanar distance of given plane. If two vectors of non-parallel planes are known, the method can be used to generate maps of strain and displacement. Graphical user interface of gpaGUI is vertically divided into two halves, each of which contains: Diffractogram preview allowing to select one diffraction spot corresponding to a crystallographic plane. Visualization of a selected quantity (input image, filtered image or one of the maps mentioned above) allowing to select point of interest or region of interest for further analysis. Results of detailed analysis of point or region of interest. The point analysis allows the user to select any pixel of the visualized map to see exact values of the particular pixel and its closest neighbourhood. If analysis of broader area is needed, a polygonal region can be outlined in the map allowing to enumerate its statistical details: mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum and total area of the polygon. Since each half of the interface allows to specify one crystallographic plane, gpaGUI allows to calculate all the aforementioned crystallographic quantities including those which require two vectors. Precision and repeatability of the whole analysis relies on accuracy of the diffraction peak localization. To overcome inaccuracy of manual peak localization (with a mouse click), gpaGUI provides a possibility to process the input image with diffractGUI in order to accurately localize and index the peaks.

Constantin Diaconovici Loga National College is one of the most prestigious high schools in Timișoara. It is named after Romanian educator (1770–1850). Before the establishment of the communist regime in Romania, the Boys' High School functioned in the building. History In 1897, the State High School was established, with teaching in Hungarian. The courses take place on the second floor of the Primary and Vocational School in Huniade Square. On 1 August 1897, a contract was concluded between the Timișoara City Hall and the Minister of Religion and Education, Gyula Wlassics, regarding the construction of a new building for the State High School; it was completed in 1903. The first generation of students (15 Hungarians, 10 Romanians, 9 Jews, and the rest Germans, Serbs and Bulgarians) started school in the new building in the same year. Between 1903–1919 it operated as a Hungarian-language school, with Bertalan Schönvitzky (1903–1914) and János Reday (1914–1919) as principals. On 7 August 1919, the school was taken over by the Romanian administration and became the first Romanian high school in Timișoara, named after educator . It takes over the organization system of the Romanian secondary education: the lower cycle (grades I–IV) and the upper cycle (grades V–VIII). The first director was the Romanian language teacher Silviu Bejan. In 1926, under the principalship of Vasile Mioc, the high school became a college – Constantin Diaconovici Loga Banat National College. In 1934, the section with teaching in Serbian – lower cycle – was established. In 1943, the upper cycle of the Serbian-language teaching department was established, which would function until 1948. In 1944, near the close of World War II, the school building was occupied and turned into a hospital by the Red Army. In 1945, following the establishment of a Romanian Communist Party-dominated government, a number of students took part in a spontaneous demonstration in favor of the embattled King Michael I. Students and teachers were then arrested; principal Vasile Mioc and his deputy Iuliu Ilca were sent to the Caracal labor camp for three months. In 1948 the new authorities changed the title of the school to the Boys' High School no. 1. Subsequently, it will successively change its name in Secondary School no. 1, Nikos Beloyannis High School and High School of Mathematics and Physics. In 1959, the section with teaching in Hungarian was established, which will operate for 10 years. In 1970 the school will retake the name of its spiritual patron under the title of Constantin Diaconovici Loga High School. In 1990, by moving to the category of colleges, the name of the school became Constantin Diaconovici Loga College, and in 1999 it obtained the status of national college. Between 2013 and 2016, the building was evacuated for major repairs, the teaching activity taking place in the building of the former Tudor Tănăsescu School Group on Lorraine Street. Rehabilitation involved the complete restoration of the roof and the redistribution of school spaces. Material base The ensemble of the Constantin Diaconovici Loga National College totals an area of 6,473 m2 and is located in the central area of the city, in the square delimited by Constantin Diaconovici Loga and Mihai Eminescu boulevards and by René Brasey and Camil Petrescu streets. The building is inscribed in the list of historical monuments with the code TM-II-m-B-06146. The building was erected between April 1902 and July 1903, on a 2,500-square-fathom plot of land, with four street fronts, the main facade being individualized by a huge access gate made of solid wood, beautifully decorated. It was designed by Ignác Alpár. The building is distinguished by a balanced, solemn architecture, obtained by a strong massiveness, being composed of a main body with two wings and a building adjacent to the first body that houses the sports hall. The architectural style is that of the Viennese Baroque, distinguished by symmetry and balance. The windows and the pediment on the first floor have baroque frames, and the windows on the upper floor have semicircular arches with decorations. In 1949, the festivities hall was built, with 350 seats, by superposing the sports hall. Both are embedded in the high school building and, even if they were built in successive stages, fall within the compositional principles of the original core. Notable teachers Camil Petrescu (1894–1957), playwright, novelist, philosopher and poet George Călinescu (1899–1965), literary critic, literary historian, novelist, academician and journalist Principals References Schools in Timișoara Historic monuments in Timiș County Educational institutions established in 1919 1919 establishments in Romania School buildings completed in 1903
