What About? is a solo percussion album by drummer Andrew Cyrille, his first recording under his own name. It was recorded in Paris in August 1969, and released on the BYG Actuel label later that year.
The album was recorded as part of a marathon week-long BYG session which also produced albums by artists such as Archie Shepp (Yasmina, a Black Woman, Poem for Malcolm, and Blasé), the Art Ensemble Of Chicago (Message to Our Folks and Reese and the Smooth Ones), Grachan Moncur III (New Africa), Jimmy Lyons (Other Afternoons), Dave Burrell (Echo), Alan Silva (Luna Surface), and Sunny Murray (Homage to Africa and Sunshine).
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Eugene Chadbourne wrote: "The selections are each clearly defined as to where they are going and present an overwhelming sense of love for the drum set, as if each movement around its rims and cymbals could become a chapter in a life story... Cyrille here is delighted by the availability of space, the chance for cymbals to completely ring out, for silence to so richly bolster his movements, be they slow-and-steady shuffling or the intense prancing of a jazz drum master... It is intensely musical, not indulging in the all-too-often course of presenting indulgent rhythmic tricks or philosophical meanderings about the spiritual meaning of the drum... Cyrille... approaches his creations as if he had managed to rise above most stereotypical notions of jazz drumming. This is one of the most refreshing sets of drum solos ever recorded."
Writing for Red Bull Music Academy, Britt Robson called the recording an "incisive and surprisingly accessible solo percussion album, which could serve as a practicum for advanced but still aspiring drummers," and commented: "Each of its five songs is slightly distinctive, beginning with the metronomic precision of the title track that bears traces of Cyrille's roots in drum and bugle corps. 'From Whence I Came' is more tom-tom oriented and features vocal sounds of exertion, while 'Rhythmical Space' is the best cymbal showcase and contains delightfully varied textures. 'Rims and Things' is just what it says – an emphasis on hitting away from the skin heads on the kit – and 'Pioneering' adds whistles to the beats... this solo feature – united by his light, rapid touch, which somehow retains warmth and isn’t brittle – remains a highlight in his catalog."

Kristen Santos (born November 2, 1994) is an American short track speed skater.
Biography
Santos started figure skating at the age of three and became interested in short track speed skating when she saw a television commercial featuring Dutch short track speed skater Wilma Boomstra, who later became her coach. She started the sport at the age of nine in her hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut. After high school, she moved to Salt Lake City to combine her sport with a degree in kinesiology at the University of Utah.
Santos entered her first professional competition in 2013 and entered the US Olympic qualifying tournament in early 2014 but failed to qualify for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. In 2015, she participated in her first World Cup. In Dresden, she raced the 500 and 1500 meters and placed 32nd and 28th respectively. A few days later, she took part in the 2015 Winter Universiade for the United States. In February 2019, Santos was on the podium for the first time in the World Cup. With the mixed relay team, Santos, Aaron Tran, Jonathan So and Maame Biney won bronze in Turin. Later that year, she became American champion in the 1000 and 1500 meters and therefore also won the all-round classification. In the 2019-20 season, she won her first individual medal in the World Cup: bronze in Nagoya in the 1000 meters. She also won bronze that season with the relay team (Santos, Biney, Julie Letai and Corinne Stoddard) in Shanghai.
Santos experienced her breakthrough in 2021 by finishing eighth in the final standings during the 2021 World Championships in Dordrecht. She was also second in the final standings of the 2021–22 World Cup behind Suzanne Schulting due to a third place in Beijing and a win in Nagoya over 1000 meters. In the 1500 meters, she finished fourth in the final standings with a bronze medal over that distance in Beijing. She also qualified for her first Olympics.

Pertusaria lichexanthofarinosa is a rare species of crustose and corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. Found in Bahia, Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres. The type specimen was collected by the authors near the Cachoeira do Mosquito (in Chapada Diamantina National Park, Lençóis) at an altitude between ; here the lichen was found growing on tree bark in Atlantic Forest. Pertusaria lichexanthofarinosa is only known to occur at the type locality (part of the Chapada Diamantina mountains), and is only known from the type specimen. The specific epithet lichexanthofarinosa refers both to the presence of the cortical secondary chemical lichexanthone, as well as the farinose (covered with a mealy powder) soredia.

Elite is a space trading video game series created by David Braben.
Games
The first game in the series was Elite, released in 1984. Three official sequels have been created: Frontier: Elite II (1993) and Frontier: First Encounters (Elite III) (1995), both produced by Braben's company Frontier Developments. A third sequel, Elite Dangerous (conceived in 1998, provisionally titled Elite 4), was successfully crowdfunded initially through a Kickstarter campaign in late 2012, and released in December 2014.
Bell had limited involvement in the first sequel, and was not involved in the production of the second. Both Frontier games were a considerable advance on the original Elite, with filled 3D graphics, missions and a complex economy. This time, the player was not confined to orbit but could land on and explore or mine planets. The number of flyable ships was greatly increased, and a new political backstory was introduced enabling the player to gain ranks in competing interstellar empires. Frontier Elite II appeared on the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and IBM PC whilst Frontier: First Encounters was only released for IBM PC.
The two Frontier games were significantly flawed in a number of respects. Both games had many bugs, First Encounters in particular, due apparently to being published in an incomplete state. First Encounters was extensively patched, then reissued and finally withdrawn from sale. This was followed by a lawsuit brought by Gametek against David Braben. The two games employed a realistic flight model based on Newtonian mechanics rather than the original arcade-style engine. While this was more realistic, many players also found it frustratingly difficult, particularly in combat. Most space trading games since Elite have stuck to an arcade-style flight model, in which the ships behave as though they are flying in an atmosphere.
Elite Dangerous added multiplayer and extended the use of procedural generation, allowing players to fly to and survey every non-atmospheric planet of a certain size range and temperature range in a galaxy containing billions of stars. Elite Dangerous also offers both a Newtonian flight model as well as an arcade one, with the player being able to choose between them using 'flight assist.'

The White-Green () is the name, based on the colour code, for uniforms of both students and teachers of public schools in Myanmar. The uniform rule, mandated in 1966, is mandatory for both students and teachers in Myanmar's public schools. The non-State or private schools can have their own uniforms and be excluded from the mandate.

The "White-Green" is originally the uniform of Myoma Co-educational National High School Rangoon — white yinbon eingyi and green htamein for girls; white eingyi (dress shirt), Pinni taikpon eingyi and green pahso for boys.
In 1965 and 1966, all the non-State (private, missionary, national, vernacular, special, etc.) schools were nationalized and became State Schools. On 14 February 1966, the Revolutionary Government Educational Department promulgated a mandate for all the students and teachers in the whole of Burma to wear the same uniforms.

Almost all public schools (except TTC Yangon) require that the school's name and badge be embroidered or sewn into the uniform either on both of the arm sleeves or on the left side of the chest (above the pocket for the shirts). Usually, the names of grade or standard and the class or section are also embroidered or sewn into the uniform on the left side of the chest.

The socialist Revolutionary Government, in 1965 and 1966, nationalized the private schools that once had their own uniforms. Then, it made the White-Green as the uniform of all the schools starting in 1966.
The Ministry of Education of the SPDC Government allowed to open private schools starting in 2010. The new private schools can use either the White-Green uniform or any uniform of their own style. Most private schools use their own uniforms with western style standards, to be distinguished from the traditional ones of public schools.

Giustina Abbà (Rovinj, 1903 - Rovinj, 24 September 1974) was an Italian and Croatian partisan, anti-fascist and worker.
Biography
Giustina Abbà, a feminist and a worker at the tobacco factory in Rovinj, was the first woman to join the partisan movement in Istria with her father and her son, born from her marriage to her husband Giovanni.
In 1942, Giustina Abbà, who had joined the underground Communist Party that year, organised with other women workers a successful strike "against hunger and war". The fascist militia and carabinieri intervened, suppressing the demonstration and arresting Giustina and the comrades who had exposed themselves the most. Freed, she was soon one of the founders of the Popular Liberation Movement of Rovinj. After the World War II, she was imprisoned several times under Tito and was active in the Rovinj Anti-Fascist Women's Front until her death. Her son was an officer in the Partisan Battalion Pino Budicin.

Pertusaria lichexanthoverrucosa is a rare species of crustose and corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. Found in Bahia, Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres. The type specimen was collected by the authors near the Cachoeira do Mosquito (in Chapada Diamantina National Park, Lençóis) at an altitude between ; here the lichen was found growing on tree bark in Atlantic Forest near a river. Pertusaria lichexanthoverrucosa is only known to occur at the type locality, which is part of the Chapada Diamantina mountains. The specific epithet lichexanthoverrucosa refers to both the presence of lichexanthone as well as the verrucose (warty) thallus.

On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians (; ) is an essay by Vladimir Putin published on 12 July 2021, shortly after the end of the first phase of the currently-ongoing 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis. In the essay, Putin describes his views on Ukraine and Ukrainians.
According to RBK Daily, the essay is included in the list of mandatory works to study by the Russian military.
Contents
In the essay, Putin argues that Russians and Ukrainians, along with Belarusians, are one people, belonging to what has historically been known as the triune Russian nation. To support the claim, he describes in length his views on the history of Russia and Ukraine, concluding that Russians and Ukrainians share a common heritage and destiny.
The essay denies the existence of Ukraine as an independent nation. Noting the large number of ethnic Russians in Ukraine, Putin compares "the formation of an ethnically pure Ukrainian state, aggressive towards Russia" to a use of weapons of mass destruction against Russians.
Putin openly questions the legitimacy of Ukraine's contemporary borders. According to Putin, the modern-day Ukraine occupies historically Russian lands, and is a product of external forces and of administrative and political decisions made during the Soviet Union. He also discusses the war in Donbas, maintaining that "Kiev simply does not need Donbas".
Putin places blame for the current crisis on foreign plots and anti-Russian conspiracies. According to Putin, the decisions of the Ukrainian government are driven by a Western plot against Russia as well as by "followers of Bandera".
Putin ends the lengthy essay by asserting Russia's role in modern Ukrainian affairs.
Followups
Several months later, Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, also published an article on Ukraine. In it, he agrees with Putin's essay, and declares that there will be no negotiations with Ukraine until the Ukrainian government is replaced.
Vladislav Surkov, the personal adviser (2013–2020) of Putin, also published an article concerning Ukraine and other ex-USSR territories. In the article, he questions the legitimacy of the western border of Russia (including the borders with Ukraine and the Baltic states), and argues that Russia should abolish the "wicked peace" that keeps it confined by the borders.
In a speech on 21 February 2022, following the escalation in the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis, Putin said that "modern Ukraine was wholly and fully created by Bolshevik, communist Russia". Sarah Rainsford wrote in BBC News that Putin's speech was "rewriting Ukraine's history", and that his focus on the country was "obsessive".
Reactions
The president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the essay, comparing Putin's view on the brotherhood between the nations with the story of Cain and Abel. The ex-president Petro Poroshenko also sharply criticized the essay, describing it as a counterpart of Hitler's Sudetenland speech. According to the Ukraine's envoy to UN, "fables about the 'one people' ... have been refuted in Donbas battlefields".
According to the Institute of History of Ukraine, the essay represents the historical views of the Russian Empire. The Ukrainian World Congress compares Putin's view of Ukraine "as a non-nation" to that of Joseph Stalin under whose watch at least five million Ukrainians perished during the Holodomor. The analytics platform described the essay as a "mixture of historical myths, lies about Crimea and Donbas and manipulation of Ukrainian economic data".
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace called the essay a "historical, political, and security predicate for invading [Ukraine]". The Stockholm Free World Forum senior fellow Anders Åslund branded the essay as "one step short of a declaration of war." According to Foreign Policy, the essay is a "key guide to the historical stories that shape Putin's and many Russian's attitudes". Historian Timothy Snyder has described Putin's ideas as imperialism. British journalist Edward Lucas described it as historical revisionism. Other observers have noted that the Russian leadership has a distorted view of modern Ukraine and its history.
In Romania, a part of the essay caused outrage. The section in question describes how, in 1918, the Kingdom of Romania had "occupied" (and not united with) the geographical region of Bessarabia, part of which is now in Ukraine. Romanian media outlets such as Adevărul and Digi24 commented on Putin's statements and criticized them. Remarks were also made regarding Northern Bukovina, another former Romanian territory now part of Ukraine. , then a deputy of Romania, also replied to Putin's essay, declaring that Bessarabia was not occupied but "reattached" and "reincorporated" following "democratic processes and historical realities". Muraru also commented on Northern Bukovina.

The Virgin and Child on Bronze is an egg tempera painting by Greek painter Elias Moskos. Moskos was originally from Crete. The painter migrated to Zakinthos. Two other painters with the name Moskos were active during his lifetime. They were Ioannis Moskos and Leos Moskos. All three painters were affiliated with Venice. Fifty-two of Elias's paintings survived. It is difficult to characterize the work of some painters belonging to the late Cretan School. Some artists also belong to the Heptanese School. The technical migration from the maniera Greca of Cretan-Venetian painting to the more refined Ionian-Venetian style is visible in the works of Elias Moskos and Theodoros Poulakis. His painting of the Virgin and Child drastically migrates from the traditional mannerism prevalent in Cretan painting. The painting clearly belongs to the Heptanese School. His painting of the Virgin and Child is at the Benaki Museum in Athens Greece.
Description
The painting is egg tempera and bronze on a wood panel. Moskos chose bronze over the traditional gold leaf. Bronze was rarely used by painters. The height is 98 cm (38.5 in) and the width is 63 cm (24.8 in). The painting features the Virgin holding child Jesus. The position is the traditional Hodegetria. The painter used the traditional heavenly garment typical of Greek-Italian Byzantine painting. The artist refined the common prototype of the Cretan Renaissance. The flesh tones and features of both the Virgin and Child exhibit a shadowing technique. The artist adds more realism to the celestial beings. The curvature in the Virgin's face is apparent. The young infant exhibits clearer facial features and dimensions. The two angels crowning the Virgin are fully visible. The representatives of the celestial realm exhibit fuller features. The painter chooses to escape the traditional style of representing the angles. Their garments feature striations and folds of fabric. Part of their garments are floating in harmony with their lavishly painted wings. The angels are weightless figures in a spaceless setting. The most important part of the painting is the grey-toned background. The typical gold gilded background is replaced by dark cloudy variations of grey. The different tones and brush strokes relay the appearance of a dark cloudy day.

Early life
Loraine James was raised in an Alma Estate tower block in Enfield, North London. Her interest in music began in childhood. She took piano lessons, and was allured by 2000s alternative bands like Paramore and Death Cab for Cutie, as well as the calypso and funk music her mother introduced her to. In her adolescence, James took an interest in electronic music and was inspired by IDM artists like Squarepusher and Telefon Tel Aviv.
She majored in commercial music at the University of Westminster. Despite this, James planned on following in the footsteps of her mother and pursuing a career in education.
Career
James continued to work on music during her spare time, producing a number of experimental electronic tracks. Starting 2015, she released many of these tracks on Bandcamp. In 2017, she self-released Detail before signing with electronic music record label Hyperdub.
In 2019, her Hyperdub-released debut album For You and I received significant attention and topped end-of-year lists in publications including The Quietus and DJ Mag, where it was named Favourite Album of the Year. The following year, James released two EPs; Hmm in July followed by Nothing in October, a four-track EP featuring a cadre of international vocalists such as Uruguayan singer Lila Tirando a Violeta, Iranian-born rapper Tardast, and HTRK's Jonnine Standish. In early 2021, she remotely collaborated with Dominican performance artist and dancer Isabel Lewis for CTM's 2021 virtual edition.
Her second album, Reflection, was conceived during the COVID-19 lockdown after she had quit her teaching job to focus on music. Released in June 2021, the experimental album encompasses a variety of genres and was lauded by critics.
In February 2022, James announced that she had adopted the moniker Whatever the Weather and that an eponymous album would be released in April 2022. The lead single "17°C" and it's accompanying music video were previewed.

Personal science is a term used by the late psychologist and scientist Seth Roberts, who defined it as: "using science to solve your own problems". Associated fields are self-experimentation, citizen science. The concept has been further developed within the Quantified Self community. The first use of the term in a scientific publication was in 2016, where it was associated with: "an interest in collecting data about their own bodies or lives in order to obtain insights into their everyday health or performance". In 2017, the scientific journal Methods of Information in Medicine published a focus theme on single subject (N-of-1) research design, which also included personal science. The editorial introducing the focus theme is titled "Single Subject (N-of-1) Research Design, Data Processing, and Personal Science" is co-authored by Gary Wolf, who together with Kevin Kelly coined the phrase the quantified self. In the editorial, personal science was described as "self-directed N-of-1 studies". In 2020, Wolf further developed the term together with Martijn de Groot in an article titled "A Conceptual Framework for Personal Science". They defined personal science as "the practice of using empirical methods to explore personal questions". In a 2021 scientific article building on the previous ones, personal science is defined as: "the practice of exploring personally consequential questions by conducting self-directed N-of-1 studies using a structured empirical approach".
History
The history of personal science is derived from several sources, one of which is the 1958 book Personal knowledge: Towards a post-critical philosophy by Michael Polanyi. His work especially highlighted the tacit and subjective dimensions of conventional scientific practices. Building on Polanyi's work, Martin and Brouwer introduced the term personal science in the 1993 article Exploring personal science, as an approach for characterizing scientific practice for young students. They emphasized that “science is not simply rational and objective but that the inquiring person is an integral part of the enquiry.”

The Seaward Fox is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1993.
The Fox is a development of the 1981 Slipper 17.
Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, from 1993 until 2007, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Seaward Fox is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig or unstayed catboat rig with a tall mast, an optional bowsprit, a nearly plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed shoal-draft wing keel. It displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the standard keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a stove to port and a sink to starboard. The head is located in the bow cabin, centered aft, under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is .
The design has a hull speed of .
Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "designer Hake has taken the same basic beamy hull that he created in 1979 with the Slipper Deckhouse 17 ... spruced her up with fancier oval ports and other gear, increased some of her dimensions slightly. and changed her name. For a while she was available with either a sloop rig or a very tall cat rig (bridge clearance 33' for the cat, 8' less for the sloop) ... Best features: We think she's relatively good-looking, with springy sheer, pronounced tumblehome, molded bulwarks, and nice fittings such as shiny stainless opening oval ports and cowl vent on the cabintop. Her self-bailing cockpit is deep and comfortable for two people, and her interior is relatively spacious considering her modest LOD; her Space Index is highest of her comp[etitor]s. The rotating freestanding carbon-fiber mast is 28' 6" long, weighs only 33 pounds, and is secured by a two-footlong sliding aluminum tube inside the mast, which couples the upper mast to a rotating mast bearing on the deck, It is claimed that the vessel takes less than five minutes to rig at a boat ramp, Worst features: Her shallow fixed keel, despite the small wings, prevents pointing as high as her comp[etitor]s, especially in light air."

The Jardin des Vestiges is a garden containing the archaeological remains of the ancient port of Marseille, France.
The site is located in the 1st arrondissement, behind the shopping arcade in the Centre Bourse. Classified as a French historical monument, it was excavated archaeologically in 1967 and officially opened on 17 October 2009. The site was part of the ancient Greek city of Massalia. It includes parts of the ancient port and city walls, with remains of three square towers and a gateway dating back to the second or third century BC.
Discovery
During the work carried out in 1967 for the construction of the shopping arcade in the "Centre Bourse" in the heart of Marseille, important archaeological remains were unearthed. The extent of this discovery, which concerned the Greek fortifications of Marseille, funerary enclosures and part of the old port, necessitated the classification of approximately 10,000 m2 as a historical monument. The remaining area, of about 20,000 m2, was sacrificed to enable the construction of the Centre Bourse. The excavation lasted ten years and was carried out by the Antiquités historiques and the CNRS. Additional works were carried out later, particularly in 1994.
It is in fact a contact area between on the one hand the ancient city which was located north of the current old port and included the hill of Saint-Jean Saint-Laurent, the and the hill of Carmes, and on the other hand a suburban and port area outside the ramparts.
A garden, surrounded on three sides by the shopping centre, has been laid out to highlight the vestiges, the results of one of the most important post-war urban excavations carried out in France. The objects discovered are on display at the Marseille History Museum.
Archaeological remains
Ancient port and quays
In Greek times, the old port extended further to the east and up to the northeast forming what is known as the horn of the port which ended in a marshy area. The site where the Augustinian church is located was occupied by the port.
This horn of the port, today planted with grass, spread out in front of the ramparts of the city. Quays that date back to Roman times are visible and are preserved over a length of 180 meters; stairs used for unloading goods can still be seen.
This body of water gradually silted up and served as a dumping area. Crockery and various objects were deposited there. A 23-meter-long boat was even abandoned there around the 3rd century BC. It gradually sank into the mud, which ensured its preservation. Uncovered during the excavations, the shipwreck was extracted and preserved using a freeze-drying process. It is currently on display at the Marseille History Museum.
Greek fortifications
The oldest discoveries were made in the northwestern part and involved a portion of the north–south road which dates back to the 6th century BC.
A first rampart made up of a white limestone base from Saint-Victor surmounted by an elevation in raw clay bricks dating from the end of the 5th century BC was also discovered. These fortifications must have been contemporaneous with the large public well, which has now disappeared, located to the north of the area. This archaic rampart was then rebuilt, probably in the second half of the 4th century BC. This new rampart seems to have included, like the previous one, a stone plinth surmounted by an elevation made of large blocks of tuff which replaced the raw bricks. A gate opening onto the route d'Italie in an east–west direction is flanked by two towers or bastions. This wall is clearly visible in the northwest corner of the current garden, preceded by a ditch.
In the second half of the 2nd century BC, the rampart was rebuilt on a large scale, this time in blocks of pink limestone from Cape Couronne, transported by boat. It is this rampart that defended the city during the siege of Julius Caesar in 49 BC. It would remain in use until the beginning of the Middle Ages. The wall was built according to a usual technique of Greek military architecture with two facings built with standardized blocks, the interior being filled with residues from the cutting of blocks or stones from the old rampart.
From north to south are:
Wall of Crinas
Discovered in 1913 and classified as a historical monument in 1916, this wall was in the cellar of a house. Some archaeologists of the time thought they had discovered the rampart that Crinas, a wealthy doctor from Marseilles living in Rome, had built at his own expense in the course of the 1st century. This wall is actually older and dates from the 2nd century BC, but nonetheless kept the name. This is the external facing of the rampart, the internal facing having disappeared but being found in the foundations.
Defense towers
The porte d’Italie was guarded by two towers built to the east of the previous towers of the 4th century BC.
The north tower or square tower, 10.50 m wide, is attached to the Wall of Crinas. Some internal blocks bear the marks of quarrymen or stonemasons. The south tower is also called the leaning tower, because its eastern facing has collapsed, the ground being formerly marshy. It was also square, 10.30 m wide. Only the eastern facing is preserved. It has two loopholes.
These two towers, which rose to a height of 12 to 15 meters, framed the porte d’Italie. A 22 m long curtain wall connected the leaning tower to a rectangular tower (7.8 m × 8.4 m). This curtain wall has been rebuilt to give a better idea of this fortification.
Forewall
In front of the Hellenistic fortifications, rises a front wall in a broken line, rebuilt around the 5th century.
Paved way
The road currently visible presents the last state of its construction in the Later Roman Empire around the 4th century. It was made using large slabs of , very resistant to the traffic of heavy carts. The wide grooves are still visible. They were made to prevent the wheels from slipping, while the holes visible in the middle of the slabs were intended for handling and positioning them. On the edges of the roadway, there is a sidewalk.
Freshwater basin
To the east of the garden and near the gallery of the Center Bourse is a large square basin made at the beginning of the 2nd century, about 15 m on each side, in well-paired stones, comprising on the whole five courses. The paved bottom was grouted with pitch to ensure watertightness. This basin of nearly 500 mᶟ was supplied with water by a pipe collecting water from a source and emerging in the north-eastern internal side of the basin. This pipeline, which was protected by Cassis stone slabs, was recognized over more than 100 m to the north.
This basin was used to supply water to the boats. On the western internal facing, anchor points and a reserved cavity in the paved ground, attest to the existence of a wheel which must have been 3 m in diameter, used to clear the alluvium carried by the water. It is likely that another wheel was used to lift the water.
Funerary terraces
Two funerary enclosures were discovered north of the voie d'Italie. The northernmost one was destroyed in 1973 to make way for the Centre Bourse. Each rectangular enclosure has an area of approximately 100 m2. They were in fact terraces intended to be seen from the voie d'Italie.
The preserved enclosure is decorated with alternating metopes and triglyphs which rest on a plinth. In the center of this terrace a square-shaped plinth was discovered carved from large white limestone: it might have been the base of an altar or statue.
The enclosures were built at the beginning of the 4th century BC. The excavations have revealed several cremations carried out in situ — nineteen in the northern enclosure and six next to the monument with triglyphs. The remains were recovered; they were found in lead, ceramic or bronze urns, which were then placed within stone boxes and arranged in a pit of funerary terraces. Some of these urns are exhibited at the Marseille History Museum. All the tombs date back to the 4th century BC, except for one cremation which might have occurred in the 3rd century BC. At the beginning of the 2nd century, the use of these funerary terraces was abandoned completely and the site covered up with earth.

Parmotrema lichexanthonicum is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 1997 by Sionara Eliasaro and Mónica Adler. The type specimen was collected by the first author from the Serra do Cipó (Santana do Riacho, Minas Gerais); here the lichen was found growing on a rock. The specific epithet lichexanthonicum refers to the presence of the secondary compound lichexanthone in the medulla of the lichen. Other compounds in the lichen are the depsidone salazinic acid (found in the medulla), and the depside atranorin (found in the cortex). A close relative to this species is Parmotrema ultralucens, which contains the same cortical and medullary metabolites.

Underwater art refers to artworks that are designed for or performed in an underwater environment. Underwater art often contributes to or is inspired by state of the art scientific discoveries about subaquatic properties, such as underwater vision or underwater acoustics.
Underwater music
Underwater music is a form of music composition that is tailored to the specific behavior of sound under water. Underwater music can be performed or recorded underwater, for example in a swimming pool. The audience listens to underwater music either under or above the surface of the water, depending on how the music is played back.
The Underwater Music Festival is held annually on Saturday after July 4, in Florida keys
Underwater sculpture
Underwater sculpture is a form of sculpture that is meant to be displayed underwater. The Cancun underwater museum has specialized into exhibiting underwater sculptures made of pH-neutral cement. This type of underwater sculpture favors the regeneration of coral reefs and the growth of marine life, which is carefully monitored through bioacoustic recording. The museum visitors include snorkelers and divers.
Underwater painting
Underwater painting is a specific painting technique, which adapts painting materials, techniques, tools and exhibition to the subaquatic conditions. André Alban was the first underwater painter. He developed his technique as part of the many inventions he created when working with Jacques Cousteau. Hussain Ihfal has adopted this painting technique in the Maldives

The Panegyricus Serenissimo Principi Leonardo Lauredano, anglicised as Panegyric to the Most Serene Prince Leonardo Loredan is an early 16th-century manuscript written in Latin in honour of Leonardo Loredan, who reigned as the 75th Doge of Venice from 1501 until his death in 1521.
The manuscript is a ceremonial facsimile of a panegyric pronounced by Sigismundus Burgus, a knight and lawyer from the city of Cremona. Dated 21 April 1503, the Latin script is elaborately illuminated with a Roman-style inscription of gold letters on a blue background. The placement of the Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of the Republic of Venice, in the upper margin above the inscription, confirms that the manuscript is an official document. It was acquired in 1931 by the bequest of Henry Walters, and is currently located in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.
Description
Title page
The title page contains heraldic borders. The Lion of Saint Mark is visible on a parapet above the inscription written with shell gold, flanked on both sides by the coat of arms of the Loredan family. Two unidentified heraldic crests are located on the left and right margins, on a purple background with gold and grey vines. At the bottom margin, two confronted tritons are holding a heraldic shield. The text is written in black ink, with a four-line initial "D" decorated with blue vines.
Binding
The manuscript's binding is original. It is made of dark-brown, goat leather, on which the name Francesco Paciotto is written in gold on the outside upper and lower boards respectively.

The "Moderate Republicans" or "Conservative Republicans," also known as the Liberal Republicans, (later also known as "Half-Breeds") were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party from the founding of the Republican Party in 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in the Compromise of 1877. They were known for their loyal support of President Abraham Lincoln's war policies, and expressed antipathy towards the harsh stances advocated by the Radical Republicans. According to historian Eric Foner, congressional leaders of the faction were James G. Blaine, John A. Bingham, William P. Fessenden, Lyman Trumbull, and John Sherman. Their constituencies were primarily residents of states outside New England, where Radical Republicanism garnered insufficient support.
During the 1864 United States presidential election, amidst the backdrop of the ongoing Civil War, Moderate Republicans supported merging the Republican Party with the War Democrats (Democrats who supported the continuation of the Union war effort) to form the National Union Party alliance. At the Republican National Convention (which operated under the name of the "National Union National Convention" that year), they spearheaded the effort to replace Lincoln's vice president Hannibal Hamlin with Tennessee Democrat Andrew Johnson, acting out of the belief that placing a War Democrat on the presidential ticket would solidify support to ensure Lincoln's re-election.
In contrast to Radicals, Moderate Republicans were less enthusiastic on the issue of black suffrage even while embracing civil equality and the expansive federal authority observed throughout the American Civil War. They were also skeptical of the lenient, conciliatory Reconstruction policies of President Andrew Johnson.
Members of the Moderate Republicans comprised in part of previous Radical Republicans who became disenchanted with the alleged corruption of the latter faction. Charles Sumner, a Massachusetts senator who led Radical Republicans in the 1860s, later joined reform-minded moderates as he later opposed the corruption associated with the Grant administration.

Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Muñoz (21 December 1900 – 28 October 1956) was a Spanish lawyer. He was the president of Sevilla FC from 1932 to 1941, and again from 1948 to 1956. Under his presidency, the club reached La Liga and won the national cup twice, while the land was brought for the stadium that bears his name.
Biography
Born in Seville, he played football as a goalkeeper for Sevilla FC, rising no higher than the club's second team in 1917–18. He then pursued his legal career, before becoming the club's secretary in 1923 and president nine years later.
In 1933–34, Sevilla won the Segunda División to enter La Liga for the first time, before winning the Copa del Rey in 1935 and 1939. Due to the political upheaval at the time, the tournaments were titled the Copa del Presidente de la República and Copa del Generalísimo, respectively. In 1937, he purchased land by the club's Estadio de Nervión to build a larger stadium; around the same time, he negotiated for his players to not be conscripted to the Nationalists of the Spanish Civil War, who were then occupying the city. Players of his club and Seville derby rivals Real Betis were placed in an anti-aircraft unit far from action.
In 1941, the totalitarian new regime ousted him from his Sevilla presidency to bring in an ideological ally, while giving him a new job as vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. Seven years later, he was voted back in by club members. Following his sudden death in 1956, his successor Ramón de Carranza pledged to complete Sánchez-Pizjuán's planned stadium, which was finished in 1958 and has borne his name ever since.
He has since been honoured by the club on anniversaries of his death, as the "Eternal President".

"Tonight's the Night" is a song written by Neil Young that was first released on his 1975 album Tonight's the Night. Two versions of the song bookended the album as one version was the first song of the album that the other version was the last song of the album. "Tonight's the Night" has also appeared on some of Young's live and compilation albums.
Lyrics and music
"Tonight's the Night" was inspired by the death from a heroin overdose of Young's roadie Bruce Berry. The song begins with Young singing the line "tonight's the night" eight times in a voice that music critic Nigel Williamson describes as sounding "fragile, vulnerable and close to panic." At this point Young is accompanied by just guitar and piano. Then Young sings that "Bruce Berry was a working man/He used to load that Econoline van." Young goes on to describe how Berry's passion for life was wrecked by his drug addiction. The lyrics relate how late at night Berry used to play Young's guitar and sing in "a shaky voice that was real." Young also relates how it gave him a chill when he heard that Berry had "died out on the mainline." The song ends with more repeats of the title phrase over limited instrumentation before the song closes with some spare guitar chords.
Allmusic critic Matthew Greenwald described the version of "Tonight's the Night" that opens the Tonight's the Night album as a "loose, funky song that has a strong, under-rehearsed barroom feel." He describes the version that closes the album as being faster and heavier, "while retaining the song's dark, almost scary appeal." Music critic Johnny Rogan described the closing version as being "chunkier" than the version that begins the album. The editors of Rolling Stone described the Young and the band as being in "rough shape – drunk, off-key, enraged, wracked by grief and tequilla."
Young biographer Jimmy McDonough claims that "you could write a book on the bit of piano" that begins the first version of the song. McDonough describes it as "just an offhand uncertain tinkling of the ivories, but so ominous, so full of dread," saying that "it sets the tome for the onslaught to come [on the album]—out-of-tune singing, bum notes, mike hits, and some of the best, most beautiful music ever."
Writing and recording
Young claims that he wrote "Tonight's the Night" in his head without a guitar, and that he just heard the bass line.
The version of "Tonight's the Night" that opens the album was recorded at Studio Instrument Rentals in Los Angeles on August 26, 1973. It was recorded on the same day as four other songs from Tonight's the Night: "Tired Eyes," "World on a String," "Mellow My Mind" and "Speakin' Out." Young was backed by drummer Ralph Molina and bassist Billy Talbot from what was left of his frequent backing band Crazy Horse after the drug overdose death of guitarist Danny Whitten, whose death was also commemorated on Tonight's the Night, as well as Nils Lofgren on guitar and Ben Keith on slide guitar. Young dubbed the band The Santa Monica Flyers for this album. Young played piano on "Tonight's the Night." Young described the sessions as a "wake" for Berry and Whitten, saying that "We played Bruce and Danny on their way all through the night...it was spooky."
The version of the song that ends the album was recorded a few nights later.
Reception
In 2004 Rolling Stone rated "Tonight's the Night" as Young's 5th greatest song. Rogan says that "you can sense the drama as [Young] builds up to the close of the first verse when he remembers picking up the phone to learn of his friends' drug related death." In a contemporary review, Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh said that Young "shouts, threats, begs, moans and curses, telling the story of roadie Bruce Berry, who ODed 'out on the mainline.'" Marsh continued saying that "sometimes it feels as though Young is still absorbing the shock of his friend's death, sometimes as though he is railing against mortality itself, sometimes as though he's accepted it" but said it never sounds is if Young believes that Berry is dead."
Uncut contributor Jon Dale commented on "the 'crude coherence' of the playing, the way everyone falls in and out of place at the most apposite times, the cracks in Young's voice marshaled for poignancy, for amplification of the loose narrative arc.
Neil Young FAQ author Glen Boyd says that the second version of the song Young "pushes the emotional intensity" even more than in the first version. He says that "with a vocal that plays more like an anguished howl, he sounds like he is within seconds of becoming completely emotionally unglued," adding that it is one of the most brutally honest soul-baring in rock 'n' roll.
Other appearances
The first version of "Tonight's the Night" was included on Young's 1977 compilation album Decade. Both versions were included on the box set Neil Young Archives Volume II: 1972–1976, released in 2020.
In live concerts in 1973 Young would play two or even three versions of "Tonight's the Night." On that tour he typically played mostly songs from the Tonight's the Night album that the audience had never heard. Before playing the second version, he would tease the audience by telling them that he was about to play a song that they heard before, and it would possibly go on for up to 30 minutes.
A later live version closed out Young's 1979 live album Live Rust. Music lecturer Ken Bielen says that the Young and the band "grieve over a driving bass line" and end the song by chanting the title a capella before the bass drum and full band rejoin. Rolling Stone said that this version became an "unlikely stadium-shaking rock anthem...where you can hear the fans whoop, cheer and whistle along with a funeral dirge."
Another live version was also released on Young's 1991 live album Weld, during which Young screams "Go, Bruce, play that guitar." Yet another live version appears on the 200 album Road Rock Vol. 1.

The Mason Affair was an event that transpired in New Zealand in the lead up to the revolving around Labour Party MP Rex Mason and other septuagenarian MPs being pressured to retire.
Background
Between the and elections the Labour Party, first under leader Arnold Nordmeyer and particularly under his successor Norman Kirk, were increasingly conscious of the ageing members in the parliamentary caucus. Many of the stalwarts of the first and second Labour governments were now in their 80s and still in Parliament. Most had little energy left and, despite still occupying senior places in the party, had become ineffective at countering the government. As such, newer MPs were being over-relied on to do so, and particularly from 1965 under Labour's new and much younger leader (Kirk) an effort was made to rejuvenate by encouraging older members to retire. The recently retired party president Martyn Finlay agreed with Kirk and had had attempted to persuade six MPs (Walter Nash, Mabel Howard, Eruera Tirikatene, Robert Macfarlane, Ethel McMillan and Rex Mason) to retire voluntarily. All of whom (except McMillan) were over 70. The party newspaper The Statesman published editorials calling for retirements stating that the frontbenches should be occupied by the 'leaders of today and tomorrow, not yesterday' and should not be 'the final resting places for senior members either on the basis of self-interest or length of service'.
At the 1966 party conference a party policy was proposed whereby MPs were required to retire at the next election after turning 70 years old. Enthusiasm for the policy was far from unanimous and some elements of the party organisation protested. A similar remit had actually been proposed earlier in 1964 but neither Nordmeyer or Kirk bothered to advocate for it and it was rejected by the conference delegates.
The 1966 election
Despite there being several MPs in the over 70 bracket, Kirk put a particular effort on forcing Mason's retirement. Mason, who had been in parliament since 1926, now lived in Wellington and seldomly visited his Auckland electorate of . He relied on local-body politicians, such as the ex-Mayor of New Lynn Stan Rickards, to do much of his constituency work for him, yet despite this the local party executive were solidly loyal to Mason. They believed he was still a reliable advocate for the area in parliament and intended to renominate him for the . Eventually, following pressure from Labour's head office, the executive reopened nominations for the New Lynn seat stating (disingenuously) that Mason was retiring. Mason remained silent publicly on the proceedings though discussed the matter intensely with his local party members and with Allan McDonald, the party general-secretary. Eventually he felt he was left with little choice but to retire at the coming election. Mason still had support among many in the local party and there was a degree of resentment to the party head office intervening. Fred Gerbic, the chairman of the New Lynn electorate committee, resigned his position in protest of Mason's forced retirement, as did several other party officeholders in the electorate.
Mason's situation caused much negative media coverage for Labour and Kirk's leadership. Kirk's biographer David Grant stating that the affair "...was great material for antagonistic newspaper editors and the National politicians, who had a field day criticising Labour's apparently undemocratic decision-making processes and dysfunctionality." Given this bad publicity in the run up to an election, and the party executive admitting they had handled the situation badly, little effort was put in to pressuring any other MPs to retire. Macfarlane had been re-nominated again by local members and, despite his nomination being queried by head office, he was allowed to stand again on the stipulation that he would not stand at the . Nash, Howard, Tirikatene, McMillan and 69-year old Ritchie Macdonald were all allowed to stand for re-election.
Mason's exit from parliament was exacerbated further after Kirk farewelled Mason in just three scant sentences and failing to mention his huge contribution to law reform, in what many saw as a less-than-gracious speech. This contrasted starkly from the more courteous and considerate tributes he received from the other side of the house, particularly from Prime Minister Keith Holyoake and National MP Ernest Aderman.
Outcomes
At the 1967 party conference delegates formally amended the party constitution requiring MPs to retire at the next election after turning 70 and for candidates over 60 (aside from incumbents) to be ineligible for selection. Kirk stated to the conference that candidate selections should not be made on a 'sentimental' basis as he knew of instances "when the selection committee is aware that the candidate was no longer suitable for the job yet gives its support for purely selfish reasons." As a result there were many retirements (some reluctant) at the giving Kirk the younger and more energetic caucus he desired. Mason, nevertheless, remained well respected in the party for his service and Kirk invited him as a guest of honour to the first meeting of caucus following Labour's victory in the where he oversaw the election of the cabinet.

The main wave of Crimean Tatar repatriation occurred during in the late 1980s and early 1990s when over 200,000 Crimean Tatars left Central Asia to return to Crimea. While the Soviet government attempted to stifle mass return efforts for decades by denying them residence permits in Crimea or even recognition as a distinct ethnic group, activists continued to petition for the right of return. Eventually a series of commissions were created to publicly evaluate the prospects of allowing return, the first being the notorious Gromyko commission that lasted from 1987 to 1988 that issued declaring that "there was no basis" to allow exiled Crimean Tatars to return en masse to Crimea or restore the Crimean ASSR. However, the government soon reconsidered its decision in light of the June 1989 pogroms against minorities in the Fergana valley where Crimean Tatars were exiled to, resulting in the formation of the Yanaev commission to readdress the possibility of allowing Crimean Tatars to return to Crimea. As result, on 14 November 1989, the Supreme Soviet issued a statement unequivocally condemning the deportation and exile of Crimean Tatars, re-recognizing them as a distinct ethnic group, and calling for the implementation of a state-sponsored repatriation of exiled Crimean Tatars to Crimea. Subsequently a commission led by Vitaly Doguzhiyev was formed to develop plans to carry out the repatriation and assist Crimean Tatars in returning to Crimea. However, many of the state-sponsored return efforts did not last very long due to the subsequent dissolution of the Soviet Union, and when the Crimean ASSR was re-established in 1991 it was designed as a regional autonomy, not on part with being the de facto Crimean Tatar titular republic of the original Crimean ASSR. What followed was the mass return of a large portion of the Crimean Tatar diaspora in Central Asia, with an estimated 166,000 making it to Crimea by the end of 1991. Eventually over 200,000 Crimean Tatars returned to Crimea, but many struggled to get suitable housing and citizenship in newly independent Ukraine for several years and to this day remain poorly integrated in Russian-dominated Crimean society. Today they compose an estimated 12% of the population of Crimea, living mostly in the central parts of the peninsula with negligible representation in the southern coastal regions where they were a majority before the deportation, which are currently very expensive to live in.
Background
Ever since the deportation of 1944, Crimean Tatar exiles sought to return to their homeland. However, while most deported peoples, including the Chechens, Ingush, Kalmyks, were all allowed to return to their homelands, had their titular national republics restored, and were recognized as distinct ethnic groups. However, the same 1956 decree that restored the rights and republics of those deported peoples deliminated Crimean Tatars, failing to recognize that they never part of the Volga Tatar people, and rationalized that the Crimean ASSR didn't need to be restored since the Tatar ASSR already existed, suggesting that "people of Tatar nationality formerly living in the Crimea" "return" to Tatarstan. Although Crimean Tatar rights activists attempted to explain to the Kremlin that they were a distinct ethnic group and not part of the Volga Tatar people colloquially simply called "Tatars", and only wanted to return to Crimea, they remained unrecognized, continuing to be counted simply as "Tatars" in censuses, and their repeated petitions requesting right of return to Crimea and restoration of the Crimean ASSR were rejected. Eventually in September 1967 a carefully worded decree proclaiming that "Citizens of Tatar nationality previously living in the Crimea" were officially rehabilitated, leading to confusion among many Crimean Tatars about their status, but the subsequent fine print declared that they were "firmly rooted" in "places of residence" and reinforced that they could move about "in accordance with the passport regime". The initial vaugeness of the announcements resulted in the first wave of Crimean Tatar returnees arriving in Crimea. While some of them were granted the required propiska (residence permit) to live in Crimea legally, many others were turned away and re-deported to Central Asia. The "lottery for the homeland" died off, with the number of Crimean Tatar families permitted to return to Crimea each year turning into a trickle by the 70's. Nevertheless, numerous Crimean Tatar families continued to seek repatriation to Crimea, only for most of them to be re-deported to Central Asia after being denied the required residence permit. Meanwhile, slavic settlers in Crimea from the mainland Ukraine and the RSFSR continued to flow into Crimea, and faced no barriers to obtaining housing and the required residence permit.
Gromyko commission
Eventually after decades of petitioning and delegations the Soviet government agreed to form a commission in 1987 to evaluate the possibility of allowing Crimean Tatars to return to Crimea. The ensuing commission led by Gromyko, who did not hide his disdain for Crimean Tatars and was reluctant to even meet with them, contained no Crimean Tatars on the board, and in July 1988 a formal conclusion statement was issued saying that there was "no basis" to allow mass repatriation of Crimean Tatars to Crimea and or the restoration of the Crimean ASSR on practical grounds due to the sharp demographic changes in Crimea over the decades, reaffirming the status quo of only seldom allowing small numbers of Crimean Tatars into Crimea on an individual basis.
Fergana pogroms
In June 1989, Uzbek nationalist mobs attacked en mass the Meskhetian Turk minority (another ethnic group exiled in the Uzbek SSR) and other minorities to a lesser extent, including the Crimean Tatars. Earlier in December 1988 there had been a rally in Tashkent where Uzbek nationalists held banners saying "Russians - go to Russia! Crimean Tatars - go to Crimea!" Anecdotal evidence suggests that while approximately three-fourths of Crimean Tatars wanted to return to Crimea before the pogroms, almost all Crimean Tatars wanted to leave the Uzbek SSR afterwards, as they felt that the writing was on the wall that they would be the next target and the authorities would not be able to protect them when targeted by Uzbek mobs, just like they were unable to protect the Meskhetian Turks. In addition, the blatant violence against minorities in the riots limited the government's ability to claim Crimean Tatars and other exiled minorities had "taken root" in the Uzbek SSR or had reason to want to leave.
Yanaev commission
After the initial failed Gromyko commission and the subsequent Fergana pogroms, the government decided to officially reconsider the possibility of allowing Crimean Tatars to return to Crimea. The Commission on the Problems of the Crimean Tatar headed by Gennady Yanaev was formed on 12 July 1989. Just like in the previous commission, members of the commission travelled across the Soviet Union to speak with Crimean Tatar diaspora communities in Central Asia as well as the leadership of Crimea and the Central Asia republics, as well as activists from across the spectrum of the Crimean Tatar rights movement ranging from the NDKT to the OKND. The conclusions, issued on 28 November 1989, cleared the way for the rehabilitation of the Crimean Tatar people and supported allowing their return to Crimea. Although it acknowledged that mass return would not be easy due to the demographics of Crimea at the time, which the Gromyko commission used as an excuse to reject the right of return, it noted that such excuses were an unacceptable grounds to deny justice to the Crimean Tatar people, who long lived in hope of seeing Crimea again. In addition, it pointed out and condemned the hypocrisy of the continued recruitment of people from other parts of the union to work and live in Crimea while denying Crimean Tatars the same opportunity to do so, and acknowledged that the Crimean Tatars were widely discriminated against when attempting to get residence permits in Crimea, and called for the abolition of decrees specifically intended to limit their ability to return. Subsequently, another commission, led by Vitaly Doguzhiyev and composed of various Soviet politicians in addition to five Crimean Tatars (Refat Appazov, Refat Chubarov, Ferit Ziyadinov, Akhtem Tippa, and Riza Asanov) was formed to develop proposals for the implementation of the planned return.
Return process
The repatriation program approved by the government in 1989 intended to aid the return of 50,000 exiled Crimean Tatars each year, and set targets for the number of housing units to be constructed in Crimea for returnees each year. However, the program supporting Crimean Tatar returnees did not meet its construction targets, and after Ukraine gained independence from the USSR the number of Crimean Tatars returning each year drastically declined, with Crimean Tatars largely left with no option but to claim an unused land plot in a remote area and build a house from scratch there, and until then live in tents. However, some Crimean Tatars nevertheless aimed for returning to the coast: on 23 October 1989 the first temporary tent city on the south coast was established in Degirmenkoy, after repeated attempts to obtain residence permits and land through the formal process reached a dead end. However, the tent city was soon violently demolished on 14 December 1989 when over 600 policemen accompanied by over 200 vigilantes attacked the camp, who brutalized residents including the elderly; one farm director who participated in the attack would knock people over and then kick them on the ground. In the midst of the chaos, Seidamet Balji set himself on fire, attempting self-immolation, but was soon extinguished. Nevertheless, Crimean Tatars were not intimidated by the events, and continued to return to Crimea, building villages in empty fields. By the time most Crimean Tatars started returning to Crimea, the already expensive housing prices in Crimea continued to rise while the prices of housing in Central Asia continued to decrease, resulting in very few Crimean Tatar returnees being able to buy their own houses. As a result, most returning Crimean Tatars settled in Central Crimea where the land was less costly and constructed their own shanty towns there.
Results
Reactions from Russian residents
The Russian population of Crimea, who formed the majority demographic of the peninsula, were often very hostile to returning Crimean Tatars, whose return was perceived as an invading enemy. Organizers encouraged fellow Russians in Crimea to buy up land plots as soon as possible and ask their Russian relatives outside Crimea to help buy more to prevent it from being bought by Crimean Tatars. With the complicity of Crimean authorities, Crimean Tatars continued to be presented with bureaucratic obstacles to buying land and housing in Crimea, while state land that was earmarked for redistribution to Crimean Tatar returnees to build housing on ended up being given to the slavic population in Crimea for gardens and dachas.
Ruralization and impact on Crimean Tatar community
Although around two-thirds of Crimean Tatars in exile lived in urban areas of Central Asia by the 1980's, upon returning to Crimea, about the same percent were settled in the rural areas where the land was of lower value, where they built shanty towns, instead of mass resettling in the south coast where most of the Crimean Tatar population used to live. The exclusion of large swaths of the Crimean Tatar population from the economy of the South Coast further deepened the poverty of the returnees in the steppes, who often lacked basic utilities or even insulation in the hastily-constructed houses. With unemployment among Crimean Tatars reaching 40% to 70% at some points, many who were well-educated ended up working in menial jobs well below their skill level; however, very few left Crimea for Central Asia, (less than 2%) and most who did leave did so only temporarily. Over time migration within Crimea moved somewhat southward towards their ancestral villages and closer to urban areas where employment opportunities were better but the cost of living higher.

2 Samuel 8 is the eighth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 2–8 which deals with the period when David set up his kingdom.
Text
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 18 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 1–8.
Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).

This chapter contains a catalogue of David's victories (verses 1–14), arranged thematically rather than chronologically, and a list of David's court officials (verses 15–18).
David's victories (8:1–14)
This section can be divided into two sections: David's victories (verses 2–6) and David's handling of the plunder (verses 7–14), with the first verse serving as an overture to introduce the
two verbs that guide the reading: David “strikes” ('n-k-h'; ) his enemies and then "takes" ('l-q-kh'; ) plunder. Three interlocking pairs of
refrains integrate the whole unit, which main theme is the ascent of David as a shepherd-king to the world stage, just as God promised to give David a great name ("the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went"; cf. 2 Samuel 7:9).
The structure of this section is as follows:
1. David's victories (8:1-6)
David strikes (n-k-h) the Philistines (8:1)
David strikes (n-k-h) the Moabites (8:2ab)
Refrain 1: The Moabites became servants to David, bearers of tribute (8:2c)
David strikes (n-k-h) Hadadezer (8:3–4)
David strikes (n-k-h) the Arameans (8:5)
Refrain 2: David establishes garrisons in foreign territory (8:6a)
Refrain 1: The Arameans became servants to David, bearers of tribute (8:6b)
Refrain 3: The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went (8:6c)
2. David and the plunder (8:7–14)
David takes (l-q-kh) gold from Hadadezer's servants and takes (l-q-kh) bronze from Hadadezer's town (8:7–8)
David receives tribute from King Toi (8:9–10)
David dedicates all the plunder to the Lord (8:11–12)
David defeats the Edomites (8:13)
Refrain 2: David establishes garrisons in foreign territory (8:14a)
Refrain 3: The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went (8:14b)
These verses, together with other passages (cf. 1 Samuel 30:1–31; 2 Samuel 5:17–25; 10:1–11:1; 12:26–31; 21:15–22) provide a list of David's victories, as shown below:
According to 2 Samuel 10:1–19 and this passage, David fought three successive battles against the Arameans. king Toi (or "Tou") of Hamath (which was on the Orontes River to the north of Zobah) heard about David's successes and sent his son to make an alliance with David, bringing expensive gifts. As a result of his conquests David took control over what is now 'Palestine' from the Philistines, with garrisons placed in Moab, Edom, and Ammon (which corresponds to modern Jordan), and also conquered Aramean states (corresponding to modern Syria and eastern Lebanon).
Verse 1
After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
"After this": from Hebrew "wayehî ’a-ḥă-rê-ḵên", "and-happened after this", indicating an unspecified interval of time since God's promise to David in the previous chapter.
"Metheg-ammah": from Hebrew: "metheg ha-ammah", literally, "the Bridle of the Mother City", because in 2 Samuel 20:19 "ammah" refers to a "mother city" also can be rendered as "the bridle of one cubit." or "the forearm bridle". The parallel text in 1 Chronicles 18:1 reads "Gath and its daughters (nearby villages)".
David's court officials (8:15–18)
The list of David's court officials is not exactly identical with another version in 2 Samuel 20:23–26, which indicates the existence of several variants in archives over a period of time. The comparison is as follows:
Joab had been with David and had command of the army for a long time (cf 2 Samuel 2), whereas Jehoshaphat was still in office in the time of Solomon (1 Kings 4:3). Zadok and Abiathar shared the priesthood until David's death (1 Kings 2:26). The Cherethites and Pelethites were the royal bodyguard, under the command of Benaiah (cf. 1 Chronicles 18:17); they were David's most loyal soldiers, marching with David out of Jerusalem during Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 15:18), helping to chase the rebellious Sheba son of Bichri (2 Samuel 20:7), and guarding Solomon's anointing by Zadok the high priest as David's successor (1 Kings 1).

2 Samuel 12 is the twelfth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46).
Text
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 31 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 1, 3–5, 8–9, 13–20, 29–31.
Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).

Analysis
Chapters 11 and 12, which pertain to David, Bathsheba, and Uriah, form one episode that is concentrically structured in eleven scenes:
A. David sends Joab and the army to attack Rabbah (11:1)
B. David sleeps with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah (11:2–5)
C. David and Uriah: David arranges Uriah's death (11:6–13)
D. David to Joab: Uriah must die (11:14–17)
E. Joab to David: Joab's news comes to David (11:18–25)
F. David ushers the wife of Uriah into his house. The Lord is displeased (11:26–27)
E'. Nathan to David: God's news comes to David (12:1–7a)
D'. Nathan to David: the child will die (12:7b–15a)
C'. David and the child: God ensures the child's death (12:15b–23)
B'. David sleeps with Bathsheba, his wife (12:24–25)
A'. Joab and David conquer Rabbah (12:26–31)
The whole episode is framed by the battle against Rabbah, the Ammonite capital, beginning with David dispatching Joab and the army to besiege the city, then concluding by the capitulation of the city to David (A/A'). Both B/B' scenes recount that David slept with Bathsheba, who conceived each time. Scenes C and D recount the plot that got Uriah killed, whereas C' and D' report God's response to David's crime: the child would die. The E/E' sections contrast David's reaction to the death of Uriah to his reaction to the slaughter of a ewe lamb in Nathan's parable. The turning point in the episode (F) states the divine displeasure to these events.
This episode of David's disgrace has a profound effect in the later memory of David's fidelity to the Lord: "David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and did not turn
aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite” (1 Kings 15:5), while it is skipped it completely in the Books of Chronicles (see 1 Chronicles 20:1–2).
Nathan rebukes David (12:1–15)
The last statement in the previous chapter shows that David's actions towards Bathsheba and Uriah was unacceptable to God (2 Samuel 11:27b). Nathan, the court prophet and counsellor, used a parable (12:1–7a) to reveal David's guilt and the deserved punishment which David himself had pronounced on the rich man in the parable. Parallelisms between the theft of a ewe lamb and the theft of Uriah's wife as well as the surrounding and subsequent events can be observed in the use of specific Hebrew words as summarized in the table below:
Nathan's parable elicited words of condemnation from David, which immediately were thrown back at him with the simple application 'You are the man' (verse 7a), followed by the pronouncement of the king's verdict from YHWH; this is the focal point of the section. Verses 7b–10 and 11–12 are two distinctive units, each with its own beginning and a prophetic-messenger formula, deal with different aspects of David's crime and consequent judgement. The first unit (verses 7b–10) deals with the murder of Uriah, more than with the taking of Bathsheba, with the main accusation that David had 'struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword'. After YHWH did mighty works on behalf of David which could be more (verses 7b–8), David's action to Uriah had despised YHWH (verse 9), so the punishment to this crime is that 'the sword shall never depart from your house'. The second unit (verses 11–12) pronounces a punishment that fits the crime of adultery: that a member of his household would over David's harem, and that this would be a public act of humiliation in contrast to what David did secretly. David's responded with a brief admission of guilt (verse 13), understanding that he had deserved death. Nathan replied that David's repentance had been accepted by YHWH, that David's sin was forgiven, and the sentence of death on David was personally commuted, but the child born from his adultery with Bathsheba had to die (verse 14).
Verse 7
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!
Thus says the Lord God of Israel: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.'
"You are the man": from Hebrew , hā-. The wording is unique in the Hebrew Bible (cf. the questions with the interrogative he, ha-at-tah ha-is, in Judges 13:11 also in 1 Kings 13:14).
David’s loss and repentance (12:16–23)
Nathan's prophecy in verse 14 is fulfilled in verses 15b–23, as the child of David and Bathsheba became ill, causing David to act unconventionally: he performed fast and vigil, the traditional signs of mourning, during the sickness of the child (verse 16), but abandoned them instantly after the child had died (verse 20). David's behavior perplexed his courtiers, but understandable in conjunction with the theme of sin and forgiveness in verses 13-14: before the child's death, he was pleading 'with God for the child' (verse 16) as the only reasonable course to take (verse 22), but when the child died, David knew that his plea had not been accepted, so it was reasonable to abandon his actions (verse 23). David resigned to these events with serenity, witnessing how God was fulfilling his word, and by implication David had received forgiveness.
Solomon’s birth (12:24–25)
Solomon's birth was noted briefly in verses 24–25, in connection to the death of Bathsheba and David's firstborn, as the name "Solomon" (Hebrew: selomoh) could also be rendered as 'his replacement' (selomoh). The birth record could also be inserted to avoid the identification of Solomon as David's illegitimate son.
Nathan the prophet gave him another name, "Jedidiah", meaning 'Beloved of the LORD'.
The capture of Rabbah (12:26–31)
This section returns the narrative to the siege of Rabbah, mentioned in 2 Samuel 11:1. At this time Joab managed to capture 'the royal citadel', a fortified area of Rabbah, so he was in control of the city's water supply (verse 27). David was then invited to lead the final charge of the army, so that the city could be reckoned as his conquest. David dismantled the city's fortifications and took many spoils from the Ammonites, especially the gold crown taken directly from the head of 'their king'; in Hebrew the phrase 'their king' (malkam) also can be read as the name of the Ammonite national god, "Milkom".

Adelaide Leavy later worked as Addie Passen (May 29, 1913 – March 18, 1999) was a pioneering American photojournalist and one of the few women photographers who participated in sports photography beginning in the 1940s. She was one of the first women admitted to the National Press Photographers Association in 1945. Transitioning to studio work, she worked with cosmetic firms, models, and developed a reputation doing reference photographs for illustrators.
Early life and education
Adelaide Neuberger was born on May 29, 1913, in Chicago, Illinois to Rose (née Kingsbaker) and Carl Neuberger. She studied math between 1930 and 1932 at the University of Wisconsin and then continued her studies at Columbia Business School in New York City. After graduating in 1935, she took courses in photography. In 1937, Neuberger married Richard B. Leavy of Boston, who was serving in the United States Army Coast Artillery Corps.
Career
During World War II many of the male photographers working in the press went overseas, opening opportunities for women to enter the field.
Leavy began working as a photographer in 1941, while she was in the American Women's Voluntary Services. She quickly was promoted to head their darkroom services. She was hired by ACME Newspictures in 1943, one month after she left the Voluntary Service. The following year, she was featured in an advertisement for DuBarry Cosmetics that appeared in Life Magazine.
After doing general assignments for a while, in 1943, Leavy began doing sports photography, one of the first women to cover sporting events. She was a rarity at sports venues and sometimes had difficulty convincing event organizers and other reporters that she was on assignment. Though Leavy covered basketball, horse racing, ice hockey, swimming, and tennis, she made a name for herself covering boxing matches each Friday at Madison Square Garden. Her photograph of the Rocky Graziano-Freddie Cochrane fight in 1945 gained good reviews. She said that the most difficult part of taking a good sports photograph was trying to anticipate when the action would happen. In July 1945, four months after the National Press Photographers Association was founded, Leavy joined the organization along with five other women — Margaret Hazel of The Louisville Times, Sodelvia Rihn of the Baltimore News-Post, Evelyn Straus of the New York Daily News, Lucille Tandy of The San Diego Tribune and Libby Whitman of The Canton Repository. Leavy moved from sports photography to fashion photography in the late 1940s.
Leavy divorced in 1946, but continued using the surname professionally until 1948, when she married William N. Passen, a public relations officer for the Hialeah Park Race Track. The couple would have two children, Jenny and Carl, before their marriage ended in 1962. By the early 1950s, she had her own studio, Addie Passen Photography, and was working with Helena Rubinstein's publicity department. Her office was in the Carnegie Hall Tower and she operated her studio for forty years. She was one of the first photographers to shoot Pat Cleveland, creating a portfolio for the fourteen year old in 1964. Around 1972, Passen married Herbert Millington, an economics professor, who lived in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. She was one of the photographers who worked with Italian model Fabio when he first came to the United States in the late 1980s. Passen also did reference photographs for illustrator David B. Mattingly for his fantasy works through the 1990s, as well as for other illustrators doing romance novel covers.
Death and legacy
Millington died on March 18, 1999, in Suffern, New York.
She is remembered for her pioneering role as a photojournalist and one of the few women to enter the field in the United States in the 1940s.

Biography
Smith was born in May 1962 in Scotland. His father, Malcolm Smith, ran a business making life jackets and other nautical equipment.
He studied at the University of Strathclyde but dropped out before completing his degree. While at university in 1985, Smith was elected vice-chairman of the Federation of Conservative Students (FCS), however his election was declared null and void as he had incorrectly claimed to be a student at Napier Technical College. He was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill fellow FCS member Toby Baxendale. Smith was a leading member of FCS's libertarian faction, however the FCS was disbanded in 1986 by then party chairman Norman Tebbit who, according to The Daily Telegraph, "decided it was too Right-wing even for him".
Smith previously worked at the think tank Adam Smith Institute, and later the Committee for a Free Britain and Sir James Goldsmith's Referendum Party. He was formerly a political advisor to former President of Seychelles Sir James Mancham. He served as an advisor to numerous senior right-wing figures including Sir James Goldsmith, and wrote speeches for a number of Conservative Members of Parliament.

Eugen Todoran Central University Library (abbreviated BCUT) is an academic library in Timișoara. Founded in 1944, it serves the West University of Timișoara (UVT). The library is subordinated and funded by the Ministry of National Education. BCUT provides access to over one million volumes, books, journals and other documents. The library has a headquarters, consisting of two buildings, branch libraries located in the UVT faculty buildings, as well as the Austrian and British libraries.
BCUT is part of the consortium of central university libraries in Romania, which allows it to make shared purchases of journals and scientific databases and use the electronic collective catalog, thus giving users the possibility to quickly access the documentary funds of similar libraries in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Iași.
History
The creation of an academic library in Timișoara was established by Decree-Law no. 660 of 30 December 1944, issued by King Michael I. At first, the library's bookstock consisted mainly of mathematics and physics books and journals. After the Faculty of Philology was founded in 1956, the library of the Pedagogical Institute acquired an encyclopedic profile and was continuously enriched. Since 1962, with the transformation of the Pedagogical Institute into a university, the Central Library of the University of Timișoara has developed rapidly. Since 1975, it has been entitled to a legal deposit.
Since 1992, by Order of the Minister of Education no. 6237 of 14 September 1992, the Library of the University of Timișoara became the Central University Library, an institution of national interest, with legal personality, similar to those in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Iași. Since 8 February 2000, the Central University Library of Timișoara has officially been named after Romanian philologist who, as rector of the West University, supported its transformation into a central university library.
Upon establishment, the Eugen Todoran Central University Library took over the material base and the staff of the former Library of the West University. From the beginning, the library operated in its own building (built in 1978), with two adjoining bodies (reading room and storage room), located in the immediate vicinity of the West University. In 1994, a small commercial space was added to this complex (first a bookshop, then a café), which in turn became part of the library's patrimony. In 2008, another building was put into use, attached to the two oldest ones, including reading rooms, storerooms and administrative spaces.
Collections and branch libraries
As of 2019, BCUT's bookstock consisted of 1,176,914 volumes, 1,422 manuscripts, 3,423 microfilms, 1,564 audio documents, 127 video documents, 4,329 multimedia documents, 3,233 electronic collections (books, periodicals and databases) and 8,466 documents from other categories.
The following branch libraries are organized in the headquarters of some UVT faculties:
plastic arts;
chemistry and biology;
law;
physical education and sports;
music;
economics;
Orthodox theology.

Old Oaks is a historic home and museum in Guthrie, Todd County, Kentucky, United States. The farm has played an important role in the development of some of the most recognized and influential artistic works in poetry and music, and is significant as an example of 19th century Greek-Revival architecture inspired by Minard Lafever's The Modern Builder's Guide published in 1841.
Mansion and grounds
Architecture
Old Oaks is a brick transitional Greek Revival & Italianate style 33-room residence, that was commissioned by Dorell B. Smith and was likely completed sometime around 1872. Built on a raised limestone foundation, the eastern facing entrance façade is a two-story, five-bay temple form elevation with a side-facing gabled roof, with four French end chimneys. A central two-story pedimented portico in the Greek Revival-style has been altered from its original configuration of a double-story porch into a colossal style columned portico. The two-story portico contains four, square Doric columns with smooth shafts. An added iron balcony is mounted to the second floor facade porch door replacing an earlier second level porch. Old Oaks mansion has various components of Minard Lafever’s patterns from Lafever’s book, The Modern Building’s Guide published in 1841, including the egg-and-dart surround of the front entry door, the engaged pilasters and arrangement of the pocket door surrounds in the parlor and dining rooms, in the buildings door leafs, door casings, and in the arrangement of the facade’s second-story doorway. The building also possesses Italianate features in the form of its paired windows, original quoin corners, and bracketed eaves on the south and north elevations. A singular Gothic Revival influence is located in the form of its pointed arch window located in the original porch pediment.
Interior
The mansion is composed primarily as a “hall and parlor” plan, with a central hallway spanning two floors. When positioned according to the most prominent breezes outside, central hallways assist in the passive cooling of a home. Old Oaks possesses an abundant use of transoms over doorways allowing hot air to rise to the ceilings of rooms to circulate out of the house via cross-breezes flowing through the central hall when its exterior doors were opened in the warm summer months. During the cold winter months, rooms downstairs and upstairs could be individually heated, as each room contains a fireplace. When the doors and overhead transoms to these rooms remained closed, heat could be trapped inside the space and prevented from rising up the central hallway’s staircase.
The entire western portion of the residence is dedicated to service staff with a clear delineation between family areas, and service areas. The family’s spaces are contained within the eastern most double-story portion of the house where the main entrance is located, while the servants areas was dedicated to the western three stories of the mansion with its own separate rear entrance. Within this service space, staff could move freely through kitchen, scullery, pantry, servants quarters, and through the residence’s various family rooms virtually undetected by the family & guests.
Grounds
The original approach road that is directed towards the Hadensville railroad station, is framed by a closely spaced allée of Sugar Maple trees. According to oral history, it’s believed that the 12 oaks trees once planted here have all died and were later replaced with maples planted closer to the drive to preserve farm fields on the left and right of the approach road. Originally, the drive terminated in a carriage loop around the front of the mansion, complete with carriage steps and two hitching posts. The property retains its original smokehouse.
Smith Family
As the nation began to heal from the Civil War, in 1866 profits in agriculture began to improve in the region. In 1871, Dorrell's wife Olivia is listed in census data as keeping house, or managing the Smith household. His children Mattie (18), Emeline (16), Willie (14), Olivia (10), Belford (8), Marion “Birdie” (4) were under the tutelage of a live-in school teacher.
Dorell’s property was destroyed by arson in October of 1871 when his personal residence, tenant houses, and his personal belongings were consumed in fire. Dorell did not have insurance on his personal estate. Part of this fire may have included the burning of Dorell’s Tobacco Factory for which insurance denied his claim for replacement. By 1872, Dorell increased his land holdings by 367 acres for a total of nearly 800 acres. Extravagant purchases appear on tax rolls as he was levied for a piano, gold and silver holdings, and a pleasure carriage. By 1875, Dorell farmed at least 1,280 acres and produced over 35,000 pounds of tobacco, 1500 bushels of corn, and 500 bushels of wheat annually. As his farm profits and production grew in the 1870s, Dorell turned his attention to politics, and represented Todd County in the State Legislature in 1876 and 1877, serving only one term.
By 1880, Dorrel’s household was mixed with boarders, family, and servants. His wife Olivia and children Belford and “Birdie” Marion were still living at home. Two engineers possibly in the area for the railroad were Isaac Boyd and Robert Black. These men lived with the family as boarders and may have likewise had a business relationship with Dorell. Also in the household was a domestic servant named July Gray. Farm laborers John Pendleton and Frank Porterfield also occupied the home. Kate Ingram, who was the family's cook. Well into the late 19th century, Dorell Smith engaged in local business pursuits, including the creation of the Guthrie Fairgrounds. In 1885, Smith made headlines for raising prize holstein cattle that brought prices as high as $750 each.
Nothington Family
Watkins Northington and his brother Warren inherited exceptional wealth from his maternal line. Their grandfather William Watkins was a planter and owned large parcels of land in Logan County, Kentucky, while claiming vast parcels of real estate in Nashville, Tennessee. At the age of 21, Watkins and his brother purchased Old Oaks Farm in equal shares. From May to December of 1894, the brothers renovated the house, adding plumbing, including hot and cold water, installed by Ed. C. Bates & Co of Clarksville, Tennessee. Watkins married Clarksville native Annie Young Watkins. Annie is responsible for naming the house “Old Oaks.” Shortly after completion of their renovations of the Old Oaks mansion, the couple began a family of six children in order of age, Ruth, Walton, Watkins II, Thad, Billy, and Paul. The servants quarters at the west portion of Old Oaks mansion was occupied by three servants. West Mitchell, Alace Kirby, and Charles Tender served the Northington family. Watkins operated Old Oaks Farm partially as a gentleman’s hobby farm, and established a small Saddlebred horse breeding operation. Advertisements for equine services at the farm appear throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries promoting his equine bloodlines. Two notable horses owned by Watkins include “Grace M.,” a bay mare, bred by his neighbor Robert Lester, and “Paul N.” Watkins likewise participated in the breeding of fine English Setters, and advertised breeding services for this line of sporting dog under the name, “Queen A.”
Ruth Northington married on October 22, 1919 to Walter Morton Wellman of Huntsville, Alabama in the parlor of the Old Oaks mansion. Wellman was the son of Williard Wellman, an industrialist and heir to a large fortune derived from textile manufacturing. Wellman’s family owned cotton mills and were early pioneers of the Huntsville area. Today, Wellman Family Park remains in Huntsville, as well a bronze statue dedicated in Williard Wellman’s honor. According to family tradition, Walter Wellman and Ruth Northington met in 1918. Ruth was asked by Wellman’s sister, a college friend of Ruth’s, to travel to Huntsville to attend the rehearsal dinner of a mutual friend, as the blind-date of her brother Wellman. Exclaiming that
he would, “...not escort a girl that he had never met!” Wellman hid behind a boxcar at the train station as Ruth disembarked the train. He quickly acquiesced upon first sight of Ruth, and the couple were married after a short period of courting.
The fourth child born to Watkins and Annie Northington, Thad was a born at Old Oaks Farm in 1903. He married Willie Hampton on September of 1926. Thad attended local primary and high schools, and was educated at Bowling Green Business University. He primarily worked as a farmer, a tobacco buyer, and later owned an antiques shop and restaurant. The couple had one son, Teddy Northington, born on November 12, 1932 who died at the age of five on March 4, 1937 from an automobile accident where Teddy fell from a moving car. Teddy struck and fractured his head on a hard surface when he accidentally triggered the car door open. The couple designed and planted a garden directly in front of Old Oaks mansion in his memory in the shape of a heart made of field rock and planted with peonies, lilacs, and day- lilies. The next year in 1938, the couple sold Old Oaks Farm to Edgar Selden Allison. Years later in 1953, Thad and his wife bought an historic inn in nearby Guthrie constructed by John Gray in 1836, known as the “Stagecoach Inn.” Together the couple operated the inn as a popular restaurant and antique shop.
True Love, by Robert Penn Warren
In 1985, Robert Penn Warren published the poem True Love based on his attraction and youthful interactions with Ruth Northington, daughter of Watkins Northington. The poem illustrates the narrator’s memories of a naive attraction, causing them to reflect nostalgically onto a youthful understanding of unrequited love. The first born of Watkins and Annie Northington’s six children was a girl delivered in Old Oaks mansion in 1895 that they named Ruth. Ruth was an exceptionally beautiful young woman, and it is through her attractive personality and appearance that Old Oaks mansion was featured in Warren's work.
Strawberry Wine, by Deanna Carter
One of the most influential songs of the 90’s decade hit the country music genre in 1996, named Strawberry Wine. The song, performed by country-music vocalist Deanna Carter, quickly rose to the top of the charts, capturing the number one spot on Billboard’s Us Hot Country Songs for two weeks in November of 1996, and 65 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Deanna Carter recorded Strawberry Wine in 1995 for her album, Did I Shave My Legs for This? The song was produced by Chris Farren who subsequently won Country Producer of the Year from Songwriter Magazine. After Strawberry Wine’s release on August 17, 1996, Deanna Carter’s album sold over 5,000,000 copies. The song has sold over 1,000,000 digital copies and is streamed millions of times annually.
In 1996, a music video was produced by Roger Pistole using the interior and exterior of Old Oaks mansion. Scenes from in and around Guthrie, Kentucky, including the surrounding farm fields and Fairgrounds Road fields were also used in the video. Guthrie and Old Oaks Farm was proposed as the setting for the video by a filming location scout, Mark Fenton that formerly lived in Paducah, Kentucky. Fenton remembered coming through Guthrie as a child before I-24 was constructed, and all traffic to Paducah necessitated travel through Guthrie. Fenton pulled into the driveway, and knocked on the door of Old Oaks mansion asking if they would be interested in having Old Oaks featured in the music video to which the owners of Old Oaks, John and Kathy Hansen, agreed. Thereafter, the producer Roger Pistole came to tour the property. The video took a full day to shoot, and was filmed during both rain and fair weather.
Present Ownership
Old Oaks mansion and the remaining 4.5 acres surrounding the mansion is currently owned by Emily Riggins Humphreys, the wife of the late founder Mark Humphreys of Humphreys and Partners. The property is currently used as a weekend home, and a wedding venue/overnight accommodations for guests and is open to the public. The property was purchased in 2020 from John and Kathy Hansen, and underwent an extensive restoration that preserved the mansion's original architectural features.
In popular culture
The music video for Deana Carter's number one hit song "Strawberry Wine" was entirely shot at Old Oaks and the surrounding landscape.
National Poet Laureate Robert Penn Warren's poem "True Love," is set at Old Oaks and describes the Northington family that occupied the mansion during his childhood.

Tan Cottage is a Grade II listed building in Plympton, Devon, England. Standing at 49 Fore Street, Plympton's main street, behind numbers 45 and 47, it dates to the 17th century, when it was used as a tannery.
It has painted rubble walls, a dry slate roof over two storeys. A large projection on its western elevation is believed to be the original lateral chimney stack.
The building was the focal property of Time Team during their visit in 1999.
In the interior, during renovations, a granite corbel that was discovered was part of an older wall that was sitting behind the modern one. The lintel that it supported stretched into the adjacent property to the north, which continued up to Fore Street and the marketplace. During demolition of the property's shed, the top of a moulded granite window of at least two lights was discovered. The head of each window had a trefoil, and given the top of the window was flat, not rounded, it was understood to be domestic building, of some standing, rather than ecclesiastical. Plymouth city archaeologist Keith Ray believed the stone came from Hurdwick quarry at the Tavistock Abbey at nearby Roborough which was active from the 12th century.

Reception
The film has a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 17 reviews.
Guy Lodge of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Too much of Summering, however, plays out in an unsatisfying middle ground: embedded neither in real life, nor in its heroines’ restless, malleable imaginations."
Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But alas, its potential for magic is dulled by uneven performances, unconvincing chemistry and an uninspiring script."
Natalia Winkelman of IndieWire graded the film a C- and wrote, "As is, Summering is too scattered and silly for us to really care."
Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood gave the film a positive review and wrote, "There are things to talk about after the movie ends. And it doesn’t ever talk down to its intended audience. If anything, the adults are the ones desperately in need of connecting with their inner kid."
Fred Topel of United Press International also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Summering is like a female Amblin movie."

War for Earth 3 is a 2022 crossover event in DC Comics publications. Written by Robbie Thompson, Denis Hopeless and Jeremy Adams, the story follows a conflict between the Suicide Squad, Crime Syndicate of America, and Teen Titans as Amanda Waller creates a plan to have an everlasting Suicide Squad. The story appeared in five issues spread across three comic titles published over five weeks in March 2022.
Publication history
In December 2021, it was announced by Screen Rant that DC Comics will create a crossover event featuring Teen Titans, Suicide Squad, Crime Syndicate and Flash that will deal with Amanda Waller trying to exert her influence over the DC Multiverse.
Plot summary
Prelude
Bloodsport is hired by Amanda Waller to recruit more alternate universes of Suicide Squad in Earth 3 when he sees Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Emerald Knight (an evil version of John Stewart) terrorizing civilians. Bloodsport attacks Black Siren (an evil version of Black Canary) when Ultraman arrives and nearly kills him. Back on Earth Prime, Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad (Talon, Nocturna, Match, Culebra, Ambush Bug, and Major Force) are training with Amanda Waller still not trusting Peacemaker for letting Rick Flag escape. Amanda Waller sends the Suicide Squad to Earth 3 where they fight the Crime Syndicate of America and they rescue Bloodsport and kidnap Black Siren before going back to Russia where they meet Conner Kent.
It's revealed that Rick Flag and Amanda Waller had a fallout because Amanda Waller sees Suicide Squad as disposable and wants to create a new Justice League to take over the world, which causes Amanda Waller to imprison Rick Flag, but Peacemaker frees him. Match and Connor fight while Bloodsport and Nocturna investigate and its revealed that Amanda Waller cloned Connor Kent which created Match. Amanda Waller teleports the Suicide Squad members away, and Rick Flag decides to recruit his own team starting with Mirror Master, and it's revealed that Talon is a mole in the Suicide Squad.
While the Suicide Squad deals with Sojourner "Jo" Mullein (a Green Lantern) and Hellsquad with Rick Flag recruiting Cheetah, Peacemaker, Lor-Zod and a Parademon to take down Amanda Waller. Amanda Waller has been gathering a group of superpowered villains to take over Earth 3, and Peacemaker asks Bloodsport on why is he still working with Amanda waller when he has no bomb ever since his fight with Ultraman. Amanda Waller sends the Suicide Squad to Earth 8 where they fight the Retaliators (Purple Rain, Behemoth, American Crusader, Hunda Jin, Red Dragon, LadyBug and Machinehead). Bloodsport and Peacemaker fight, with Bloodsport revealing he's still working for Amanda Waller because she has his brothers from different universes, and she has planted bombs in his brothers in case Bloodsport rebels against her. Bloodsport defeats Peacemaker, but spares him after Peacemaker tells him something, which causes Bloodsport joins Rick Flag's group. The Suicide Squad defeats the Retaliators, but are confronted by The Lightning Strikes (Thrill Kill, Thing Man, Dead Red, Oedipus, and Blood Pouch).
Agent Parker asks Amanda Waller to retreat, but Amanda Waller stands her ground and wants to kill Dr. Rodriguez after realizing Dr. Rodriguez is working with Rick Flag. Major Force betrays the Suicide Squad and starts fighting them, but Black Siren kills him. Amanda Waller tries to detonate the bomb in Black Siren's skull, however Dr. Rodriguez disabled it. Amanda Waller is disappointed with how the Suicide Squad acted on Earth 8, and teleports Match to her due to her disgust with Match gaining emotions and feelings for Nocturna. Rick Flag confronts Amanda Waller, but Amanda reveals she employed Clayface, and plans to go to Earth 3 with her soldiers, Match, and Black Siren.

The Ludwig Foundation of Cuba (LFC) is a non-governmental, non-profit institution located in Havana, Cuba, created with the mission of protecting and promoting Cuban artists in Cuba and internationally. It is the first of its kind in South America.
History
After seeing an exhibition of Cuban Art in Düsseldorf, Germany, the art patrons and collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig began to interest themselves in contemporary Cuban art. They made many visits to Cuba and formed an important collection of Cuban art, including artists such as Belkis Ayón Manso, José Braulio Bedia Valdés, Los Carpinteros, Antonio Eligio Fernández, Kcho and Marta Mariá Pérez Bravo. This couple of world-renowned European private collectors, develop the idea to create a Ludwig Museum in Havana, with an annual support of their Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation located in Aachen. This German Foundation has links with more than twenty public museums based in Europe and Asia. However the creation of such a Project became impossible at the time, so they decided that a foundation with the mission of protecting and promoting Cuban artists in Cuba and abroad would be the idea. Thus, Ludwig's commitment and cooperation allowed the new foundation, the first in South America, to respond to the enormous economic difficulties of the island, which had previously caused the emigration of artists and the weakening of cultural institutions.
Created in 1995 as an autonomous, non-governmental and non-profit public entity, the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba is today an important center that helps protect, preserve and promote the work of contemporary Cuban artists in and outside of Cuba. It is administered by the American Friends of the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba (AFLC), and is directed by its current president Helmo Hernández.
Exhibitions and events
The exhibitions and cultural exchanges of the Foundation have allowed Cuban artists to establish important dialogues with their international colleagues. If at first the institution directed its interest towards the visual arts, very soon it became involved with experimentation in the performing arts. From architecture, dance performances to mobile app development and from theatrical readings to graphic design, the Foundation works to educate, promote and protect the work of Cuba's emerging artists. They organize exhibitions at their headquarters as well as in other museums, as was the case of the Gerardo Rueda exhibition at the San Francisco Convent in Havana in 1999. Among the artists exhibited at the Foundation we find María Elena González, José Manuel Fors, Charly Nijensohn, Esterio Segura Mora, Grupo ABTV, Keith Anthony Morrison, Alberto Sarrain and Juan Carlos Alom, who collaborated in the large visual event : “Uno de cada clase” in 1995.
International artists such as Glenda León, René Peña, Juan Carlos Alom and Lázaro Saavedra participated in the First National Festival of Video Art in Havana (2001) organized by the Foundation.

Oksana Potapova () is a Ukrainian feminist, peacebuilding researcher and activist.
Childhood and education
Potapova was born in and describes her origin as Eastern Ukraine. She started studying for a master's degree in gender, peace and security in 2020 at the London School of Economics.
Activism and research
In 2014, Potapova founded Theatre for Dialogue, a non-governmental organization that works with women affected by the War in Donbas, developing communication among them and helping them to defend their rights nationally and internationally. The aims of Theatre for Dialogue include supporting and providing publicity for the efforts of the "huge volunteer movement of women organizing humanitarian action and community dialogue" in relation to the Donbas War.
Potapova stated that monitoring and enforcement of pandemic controls during the COVID-19 pandemic shifted policing away from responding to incidents of domestic violence in Ukraine. Based on interviews with five human rights activists from different regions of Ukraine, Potapova found in May 2020 that the pandemic affected women more than men, with women taking on more responsibility for child care, teaching and household management than men. Other concerns for Ukrainian women during the pandemic were job losses and postponement of domestic violence court cases.
Views
Ukrainian feminism
In 2019, Potapova stated that the term "gender equality" was no longer taboo in Ukraine, but laws and political will to promote gender equality were weak, and the War in Donbas exacerbated the reality of discrimination against women.
Peace processes
Potapova argues that women's participation in peace processes differs from that of men, since the violence that is to be reduced involves both the violence of the armed conflict and violence against women more generally. She also sees intersectionality as important, so that not only women, but also discriminated minorities are involved in peace negotiations.
In December 2021, Potapova expressed support for the newly launched OSCE Networking Platform for Women Leaders including Peacebuilders and Mediators. She argues that women's organisations should be involved in peacebuilding.
Potapova argued for replacing military public debate about being "at war" and the "enemy" by a "feminist agenda" of "care, support, solidarity and equality". She called for women to be involved in decision-making processes immediately rather than only after crises. Potapova argued that women's advocacy was becoming more effective in Ukraine by the use of research data and analysis.
Care economy
Potapova argues that the COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to the role of the care economy, part of the informal economy, "childcare, motherhood, caring for the elderly, caring for the sick, activism", which she argued should become a priority over the "profit-driven economy".

Tandok dance is a traditional Batak dance originating from the North Sumatra, Indonesia. This dance tells about the activities of harvesting rice using tandok carried out by mothers in the fields. In addition, this dance also contains the importance of family values between each other.
Form and movement
Tandok dancers are generally women who wear traditional Batak clothes, which are dominated by black and red. The dance properties used include tandok, ulos, and sarong. The Tandok dance is usually danced by four dancers, but this does not become a standard, so this dance can be performed by more than four people whose number is always even.
This traditional dance is accompanied by Gondang music. Similar to gamelan in Java and Bali, Gondang is also an ensemble musical instrument that has variations. If the Javanese gamelan and the variations in the music produced are based on the skill of the salendro players, then on the Gondang the variations are on the Sarune and Taganing players.
The Tandok dance movement is dominated by hand movements. In certain parts the dancers then form a new formation with the Tandok in the middle. The movement illustrates the atmosphere of gathering in a container that is usually done by mothers in the fields. The Tandok dance movement in general also describes the Tor Tor movement that mothers do every time there is a party and celebration, while using the tandok as a head covering.
Meaning
Tandok dance has a deep message about the close family ties in the Batak land. In addition, the Tandok dance also depicts the Batak people who have always lived as an agrarian nation, a nation that is closely related to planting culture and respecting nature such as respecting their ancestors.
