Chiodecton lichexanthonicum is a species of crustose and corticolous (bark-dwellling) lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in the Brazilian Amazon, it was formally described as a new species in 2017 by lichenologists Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres and André Aptroot. The type was collected by the authors from the Adolfo Ducke Forest Reserve (Manaus, Amazonas), along trails near a field station; here, in old-growth rainforest, it was found growing on tree bark. The specific epithet lichexanthonicum refers to its major cortical compound, lichexanthone. It is the first species in genus Chiodecton known to contain this compound. Chiodecton lichexanthonicum has narrow, club-shaped ascospores with seven septa that measure 30–34 by 2.5–3.5 μm.

Lifting the Bandstand is a live album by Cecil Taylor recorded during the Tampere Jazz Happening in Tampere, Finland, on October 30, 1998, and released in 2021 by Fundacja Słuchaj!. On the album, Taylor is joined by saxophonist Harri Sjöström, cellist Tristan Honsinger, bassist Teppo Hauta-aho, and drummer Paul Lovens. The album consists of a single group improvisation.
The album title comes from a phrase attributed to Thelonious Monk. According to Steve Lacy, who played with both Monk and Taylor, Monk would tell his musicians "Let's lift the bandstand." Lacy recalled: "That's magic, man, when the bandstand levitates. I didn't know how to do it but I knew what he was talking about. Old dreams but they're still valid." After the concert at which the album was recorded, Lacy, who was in attendance, went backstage and remarked "You guys really lifted the bandstand," thus inadvertently providing the title of the disc. (Lift the Bandstand is also the name of a video documentary about Lacy.)
Reception
In a review for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto wrote: "The Tampere concert begins with vocalizations from Taylor and Honsinger before the quintet detonates into some energetic improvisations. The sound never devolves into the chaos of din as pieces and parts flow to the surface and connect. After the exuberance of the opening—as well as the body of this concert, the final fifteen minutes evolve into the spoils. Poetry and operatic phrasings emerge, not from exhaustion but resolution. While this is indeed a Cecil Taylor recording, it was created not from intensive rehearsals and practice, nor was it preplanned. The quintet lifts the bandstand with all hands on deck."
Writing for Dusted Magazine, Derek Taylor commented: "Absent are any of Taylor's elaborate preparatory charts or schematics. Missing, too, are the crucibles of his exhaustive and demanding rehearsals. Instead, it's simply five men taking the stage with the semblance of a clean slate between them. Taylor's vocalizations and the diffused contributions of his colleagues occupy the opening minutes. Ritual must be invoked and observed... once Taylor plants himself firmly at the piano stool flanked by scraping strings, the music turns into a turbulent, extended series of cloudbursts. Figurative thunder, lightning and torrential rain all leap to mind in the glorious tempest that follows... Dancing about architecture seems an actual equivalent when attaching written description to records like this one. Better to abandon language altogether and just let the music speak."
In an article for Point of Departure, Stuart Broomer stated: "Lovens is a different presence than Taylor's diverse American drumming partners: his drums sound essentially loose and thick with a bright metal tumult above, the combination mysteriously emphasizing a special relationship. Taylor and Lovens merge into a compound voice, a kind of unitary assemblage, while at the same time creating complex rhythms with a disruptive, fractured quality... there's an episode of Honsinger bowing and Hauta-Aho playing pizzicato when the two seem to merge into a single bass-baritone string instrument. There are stunning passages with Sjöström peppering notes into Taylor's cascading runs, punctuating them and pointing out how appropriate the soprano is to Taylor's music and why Jimmy Lyons had always worked his alto’s upper register so effectively. There are also times when the density thins to high-speed whispers, but while Taylor is active there remains that sense of the atom smasher, the point at which music becomes physics, all the tones multiplying and extending out towards infinity."

Olga Hankin (or Khankin, , 9 January 1852 - 21 April 1943) was a feminist, professional midwife and Zionist activist who, together with her husband, Yehoshua Hankin, was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the Zionist Organization in Ottoman Palestine and Mandatory Palestine. While he became known as a prominent "redeemer of lands" (Hebrew) גואל האדמות she, too, was instrumental in this work.
Biography
Olga Hankin née Belkind was born in the small town of Lahoysk near Minsk in Belarus or Byelorussia, the oldest child of Meir and Shifra Belkind. She moved to St. Petersburg as a young woman and to the Land of Israel as part of the First Aliyah in 1886. Two years later she married Yehoshua Hankin (1864–1945) in the agricultural settlement of Gedera. They moved to Jaffa, where she became known for her midwifery skills, having studied the profession in St. Petersburg; "she was most likely the first professional midwife in the country".. She was 13 years older than he and would become his partner in their endeavors. Ironically for a woman who brought many children into the world, her marriage with Yehoshua was childless.
Olga delivered babies. She became well-known among the Arabs of Jaffa—effendis, sheikhs and Bedouin tribal leaders who lived on the sandy stretches south of the city. At the end of the 1880s no one yet believed in Yehoshua’s skill as a real-estate agent, but they trusted Olga. Contemporary photographs show her holding a whip to protect herself while riding on a white donkey among the Bedouin tents and in the streets of Jaffa. On one occasion, while she was delivering the infant son of a wealthy Christian Arab of Jaffa who owned land south of the city, she learned of ten thousand dunams for sale in Wadi Deiran. She told Yehoshua about this, and in 1890 he completed his first land deal.
In the following years, because the Zionist organizations were reluctant to pay for land, the Hankin couple frequently purchased lands and then convinced the Jewish Agency or others to finance the "done deal." In this way the Hankin couple became responsible for most of the major land purchases of the Zionist Organization in Ottoman Palestine and Mandatory Palestine. "In 1890, Yehoshua worked to purchase 2,500 acres of the lands of Duran, where the city of Rehovot is now located. In total, more than 148,262 acres purchased by Yehoshua were used for the establishment of the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel... Olga was the driving force behind Yehoshua in his dedication to the redemption of the land." What is more, she supported him by working as a midwife, since he never made any money in his real estate dealings.
Olga Hankin died in the Jezreel Valley and was buried in the Galilee in the tomb made of pinkish limestone that her husband had built for them at Ma'ayan Harod on Mount Gilboa. He died two years after her and was buried by her side.
Feminism
Olga Hankin was reputed to be a brave woman, who would ride alone on horseback, even at night, to perform as a midwife for women, whether Jewish or Arab. She believed that women should have a profession; before immigrating to the Land of Israel she was a telegrapher on the Trans-Siberian Railway in order to save money for her tuition to study midwifery.
She was also known to have encouraged the young people of her extended family to study, especially the young women.
In an undated letter to the Tel-Aviv municipality, Olga Hankin wrote to complain about the lack of women's names among the city's street names, indicating her gender outlook:
"Why is there no mention [in street names] of women among the biblical names, heroes of the nation, such as Deborah and others?... I hope my words will find an echo in the hearts of the committee members and that they will correct the distortion and will also invite women to participate in the naming committee." Notably, as of 2022 there are five streets in Israel named after Yehoshua Hankin and 13 named after Hankin but not one named after Olga Hankin.
Zionist activism
In addition to her crucial work in redeeming lands for the Jewish people and the future Jewish state once she had immigrated to the Land of Israel, Olga Hankin was also active in Zionist organizations while still living in St. Petersburg. She resided there with two of her siblings, Shimshon (1865–1937) and Fania (Fanny Belkind Feinberg, 1860–1942); their home served as "a meeting place for revolutionary students, writers, and thinkers active in Hovevei Zion [Lovers of Zion], as well as a shelter for women who gave birth out of wedlock." Olga joined a group of young Jews influenced by the nationalist awakening in Europe, who despaired of universal and socialist ideals and believed they would never attain equal rights in Russia. They formed a Zionist movement which they named Bilu, whose primary goal was the agricultural settlement of the Land of Israel. Belkind family members, in particular Olga’s brother Israel Belkind and sister Fania, were prominent among the founders. Olga attended Bilu meetings as well as those of the Maskilim and Hovevei Zion activists.
Legacy
Givat Olga (Olga's Hill), a neighborhood of Hadera, is named after Olga Hankin. The neighborhood originally consisted of one house on the top of a cliff by the Binyamin Bay on the Mediterranean coast, built but never lived in by the Hankins. It was built, in Bauhaus style, as a security house following the Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 and overlooks the lands of the coastal plain purchased by the Hankins in the 1920s and 1930s. The neighborhood of Givat Olga was established in 1949 and as of 2020 houses over 15,000 residents. The historic house, known as Beit Olga Hankin (Olga Hankin's House) is in a state of disrepair and neglect as of 2022 and the cliff upon which it stands is unstable.

Jinhua Ye is a Chinese chemist who is a professor at the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba. Her research considers high-temperature superconductors for photocatalysis. She was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2016 and has been included in the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher every year since then.
Early life and education
Ye became interested in science fiction as a child. She was particularly interested in a story by Ye Yonglie that included a castle made from diamond. Ye learned that photocatalysis could split water into hydrogen and oxygen. She then became inspired by Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island,I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable. She studied chemistry at the Zhejiang University. After completing her undergraduate degree, she moved to Japan, where she joined the University of Tokyo. After earning her doctorate in 1990, she joined Osaka University as a research associate.
Research and career
In 1991, Ye joined the National Institute for Materials Science. She was made Director of Photocatalytic Materials Center in 2006 and Director of Environmental Remediation Materials in 2011.
Ye has dedicated her career to the realization of artificial photosynthesis. She is particularly interested in the development of materials that harvest the most sunlight. Ye has studied the reaction mechanisms, and, in an effort to overcome harsh reaction kinetics, has worked on the careful construction of interfaces. In particular, Ye has developed nano-structured surfaces that enhance reactivities, and, using localized surface plasmon resonance, broaden the spectral range of her photocatalytic materials.
Ye was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2016. In 2022, she was included by the American Chemical Society Energy Letters in their list of the world's leading women scientists in energy research.

The Banobal inscription is a Phoenician graffiti inscription on a block of marble which served as a base for an Egyptian stele, found near the Pyramid of Unas in Memphis, Egypt in 1900. The inscription is known as KAI 48 or RES 1.
The inscription is the front of the plinth of the stele, which measures 55 x 64 x 32 cm. The text of the inscription is damaged; it has been dated to the 2nd-1st centuries BCE.
It was first mentioned in 1900 by Melchior de Vogüe, who had been sent a copy of the stele by Gaston Maspero, who was excavating Memphis, Egypt.
Charles Clermont-Ganneau suggested the name might be better restored Banoba'al or Hanobal.
The inscription includes the name Banobal, which scholars connected to Banobali or Bariobali, a Phoenician temple slave described by Cicero in In Verrem.
It is currently at the Egyptian Museum, with ID CG 9402 (JE 33264+34081).

Our Lady and St Michael's Church also known as Our Lady Star of the Sea and St Michael's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Workington, Cumbria, England. It was built in 1876 by the Benedictines. It is located on Bank Road and Banklands to the south west of the town centre. It was designed by E. W. Pugin in the Gothic Revival style and is a Grade II listed building.
History
Foundation
In 1810, Benedictines from Ampleforth Abbey who were working in Whitehaven started a mission in Workington. In 1814, John Christian Curwen from Workington Hall gave a piece of land to the Benedictines for a priory and chapel to be built on.
Construction
With the chapel being too small to accommodate the increasing local Catholic population, a new church needed to be built. The church was built next to the priory. It was finished in 1876 and designed by E. W. Pugin in the Gothic Revival style. The old chapel became the parish hall, which now is part of St Joseph's Roman Catholic High School, Workington. In the church, the high altar and the statue of Our Lady and the Sacred Heart are made from Caen stone. In 1882, statues from Jervaulx Abbey were installed in the Lady Chapel. From 1876 to the 1930s the stained glass were installed in the church and were made by Hardman & Co. and Frances Barnett of Leith. In 1906, the organ was installed, it is a Grade II pipe organ by William Hill & Sons.
In 2019, the church was added to the Heritage at Risk Register by Historic England. Efforts are being made by the congregation to raise funds to repair the church.
Developments
With the population of Workington increasing in the 20th century, missions from the church were started that became separates parishes. In 1964, a parish was created for the Westfield area of Workington. From 1966, Catholics met in a church hall there. In October 1982, a new church, St Gregory's Church was consecrated by the Auxiliary Bishop of Lancaster, Thomas Pearson. It was designed by the architectural firm Harry Walters & Livesey.
In 2009, the church was handed over by the Benedictine monks to the Diocese of Lancaster.
Parish
On 8 April 2012 the parish of Christ the Good Shepherd, Workington was formed, comprising Our Lady and St Michael's Church, St Gregory's Church in Westfield and St Mary's Church in Harrington. Our Lady and St Michael's Church has two Sunday Masses at 10:30am and 6:00pm. St Gregory's Church has a Sunday Mass at 9:30am and St Mary's Church has its Sunday Mass at 6:00pm on Saturday.

He also became a member of the National Party of Suriname (NPS), and in 1958, he was elected to the Estates of Suriname with the most votes for a single candidate. He first served as Minister without Portfolio for 14 days, before being appointed to the newly formed Ministry of Development.
In 1959, Essed initiated Operation Grasshopper, a plan to build little airstrips in the interior of Suriname to map the natural resources. The same year, he commissioned Trefossa to rewrite the national anthem. He also initiated changing the electoral system from a district system into a mixed system. An internal conflict with Jopie Pengel led to Essed resigning from the NPS, and not participating in the 1963 elections
Essed was appointed president of the planning agency of Suriname, and in 1967 joined the Progressive National Party, In 1969, he was re-elected to the Estates of Suriname, and again served as Minister of Development until 1973. In 1975, Essed became the Surinamese chairperson of the Netherlands-Suriname Development Committee which coordinated the development aid of the now independent Suriname. He was one of the proponents of the West Suriname Plan which aimed to develop the bauxite in the Bakhuis Mountains.
In 1980, Desi Bouterse committed a coup d'état resulting in the cancellation of the West Suriname Plan. In April 1980, Essed was arrested. Even though he was accused corruption, he was never charged or went to trial. He was released on 21 February 1981 and placed under house arrest. In 1987, Essed announced his candidacy for President of Suriname, however Ramsewak Shankar was elected in 1988.
On 22 December 1988, Essed attended a Christmas party organised by Henck Arron. He left the party, and was hit by a car while crossing the street. Essed died on the way to the hospital, at the age of 69.
Legacy
Flora Stadion was renamed Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadion in his honour. In 1995, a bust was revealed in front of the Ministry of Land and Forest Management, the current name of the Ministry of Development.

The Slipper 17 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1981.
The Slipper 17 design was developed into the Seaward Fox in 1993.
Production
The design was built by the Starboard Yacht Company in the United States from 1981 until 1991, but it is now out of production. The company and production was later taken over by Hake Yachts.
Design
The Slipper 17 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig or optional catboat rig, a nearly plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed shoal draft fin keel or keel and centerboard. It displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the standard fixed keel, while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of with the centerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, or ground transportation on a trailer.
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 sink to port. 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, "Nick Hake started Starboard Yacht Company in 1979 with the cute little Slipper 17. Over the years the dimensions varied a bit, and so did the rig (cat or sloop), the deck configuration (deckhouse or flush deck) and the name of the builder (Starboard, Seaward, Hake Yachts) but with Nick Hake always in control ... Best features: Relatively wide beam gives her more space inside compared to her comp[etitor]s. She was available over the years in several different layouts, including two-berth, three-berth, and ... four-berth model ... (Two berths is probably the maximum most sailors would want to try, except for those with very small children.) Worst features: The early models had a rudder with too little area for quick manueverability ... Shallow draft, whether in the plain keel model (1' 7" draft, shown here) or the centerboarder, is insufficient for good upwind performance. Sail area is on the low side ..."

Dinah Schiffer Singer (born 1948) is an American immunologist specialized in the regulation of transcription in cancer, gene expression, and molecular immunology. She is the deputy director for scientific strategy and development at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Singer was previously director of the NCI division of cancer biology from 1999 to 2019.
Education
Singer is the daughter of German-Jewish mathematician Menahem Max Schiffer. She completed a B.S. in biology and life sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1969. Singer earned a Ph.D. in human genetics and biochemistry at Columbia University. Her 1975 dissertation was titled, Erythropoietic differentiation in murine erythroleukemia cells (Friend). She was a postdoctoral fellow in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) laboratory of biochemistry.
Career
Singer joined NCI in 1975. She served as the director of the NCI Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) from 1999 to 2019, while simultaneously serving as senior investigator and chief of the molecular regulation section of the experimental immunology branch. In 2019, Singer was named NCI's deputy director for scientific strategy and development. She oversees the NCI Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives, Center for Research Strategy, Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities, and Center for Cancer Training.
In early 2020, as part of NCI’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, she led the rapid creation of the Serological Sciences Network (SeroNet) to expand serological testing capacity and research to characterize the immune responses elicited by the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. Singer co-chaired the Blue Ribbon Panel (BRP) of experts to develop the scientific direction of the Cancer MoonshotSM, a $1.8 billion initiative to accelerate cancer research. She continues to lead NCI's implementation of the Cancer Moonshot, which has resulted in 240 new research activities to address the BRP's recommendations.
Research
Singer's research interests are in the areas of regulation of transcription in cancer, gene expression and molecular immunology. Her research has provided insights into the molecular mechanisms that regulate MHC class I transcription in vivo. Some of her studies have identified BRD4, as a kinase that regulates early transcription, linking mitosis and transcription and TAF7 as a checkpoint regulator of early transcription. Singer's research program was focused on interrogating the regulatory networks governing transcription to generate an integrated understanding of the interplay between promoter elements and transcription complexes that establish appropriate regulation of gene expression across diverse cellular and tissue environments.
Personal life
Schiffer met her future husband, Alfred Singer, in their organic chemistry class at MIT in 1965. They have two sons.

The Italian: Chiesa della Madonna Assunta or the Church of the Virgin of the Assumption is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic church located on Via Maqueda 59-61 in the ancient quarter of Kalsa in central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. It rises a block south along via Maqueda from the Palazzo Sant'Elia.
History and Description
The church was built between 1625-1628, adjacent to a former Discalced Carmelite monastery. Above the portal is the coat of arms of the Moncada family, that patronized its construction. Around the shield is the necklace of the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece, awarded in 1607 by the King of Spain to Antonio de Moncada, 4th prince of Paterno.
In the early 17th-century, the monastery once included Juana De la Cerda, daughter of the Duke of Mendinaceli and the wife of Antonio Aragona Moncada, Duke of Bivona and Montalto and prince di Paternò. Her husband joined the Jesuit order.
The interior is richly decorated with stuccoes, including a relief depicting Angels and the Holy Father by Giacomo Serpotta. Other artists in the church included Giacomo's brother Giuseppe and his son Procopio.
Among the paintings in the church are works by Antonio Grano and Filippo Tancredi. The latter depicted a Glory of St Teresa of Avila on the nave ceiling. The frescoes below the choir were painted by Guglielmo Borremans. The main altar is made with precious stones, and flanked by stucco statues of Faith and Charity by Procopio Serpotta. The altarpiece deicting the Madonna of the Assumption (1800) was painted by Giuseppe Patricolo.

The Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory, is an economic theory first popularised by English fantasy writer Terry Pratchett in his 1993 Discworld novel Men at Arms. In the novel, Sam Vimes, the captain of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, reasons that poverty causes greater expenses to the poor than to those who are richer. Since its publication, the theory has received wider attention, especially in regards to the effect of increasing prices of daily necessities.
Conception
In the Discworld series of novels, Sam Vimes is the curmudgeonly captain of the City Watch of the medieval city-state of Ankh-Morpork. Vimes' upbringing in poverty informs his character traits as an incorruptible old-school policeman, even as the character reluctantly rises into the city's aristocracy over the course of the series. The boots theory comes from a passage of the 1993 novel Men at Arms, the second novel to focus on the City Watch, where he muses about his experiences of poverty as compared to his fiancé Lady Sybil Ramkin's conception of poverty:
The theory has its antecedents; in Robert Tressell's 1914 novel, The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists, protagonist Frank Owen directly refers to clothes and boots as necessities where the total cost over time is greater for the working classes, as "[they] can seldom or never afford to buy good things" and therefore must "buy cheap rubbish, which is dear at any price". Likewise, in a 1954 column for The Observer, humourist Paul Jennings made similar comments about boots, and the adage "buy cheap, buy twice" has reportedly sustained itself as a Northern English adage. It has thus been theorized that Pratchett drew inspiration from these antecedents.
Since the publication of Men at Arms, others have also made reference to the theory. In 2013, a ConsumerAffairs article made reference to the theory in regards to purchasing items on credit, specifically regarding children's boots from the retailer Fingerhut; a $25 pair of boots, at the interest rates being offered, would cost $37 if purchased over seven months. In 2016, the popular left-wing blog Dorset Eye also ran an article discussing the theory, giving fuel poverty in the United Kingdom as an example of its application, citing a 2014 Office for National Statistics (ONS) report that those who pre-paid for electricity — who were most likely to be subject to fuel poverty — paid 8% more on their electricity bills than those who paid by direct debit.
Vimes Boots Index
In a January 2022 opinion piece for The Guardian, antipoverty activist and food journalist Jack Monroe announced their own index, which they called the Vimes Boots Index (VBI), as a rival to the ONS's official Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Retail Price Index (RPI). Speaking in the context of the official rate of inflation reaching 5.4 per cent, Monroe argued that the CPI did not properly reflect the priorities of the average consumer; in particular they cited items in the ONS's 700-item "basket"—including legs of lamb, televisions, and champagne—whose lower rises in price, they argued, had the effect of depressing the effective cost of inflation. Monroe also cited the withdrawal of many value-branded items from supermarkets—for example, a packet of ten stock cubes from Sainsbury's raising from 10p in 2012 to 39p (for beef and chicken) or £1 (for vegetable) in 2022—as contributing to increased food poverty. The estate of Pratchett, who died in 2015, gave its full support to Monroe's campaign, quoting Pratchett to say "Sometimes it’s better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.
Shortly after Monroe's announcement, the ONS stated they were going to move to personalised inflation rates that take people's income into account. The ONS's head of inflation statistics, Mike Hardie, wrote in a blog post on the department's website that "the average annual rate of inflation can conceal a lot", and agreed that some items analysed in its basket—such as fruit drinks and margarine—had experienced annual price increases of over 30 per cent, and in some cases, over 100 per cent. Monroe hopes to have the first edition of the VBI published mid-February 2022.
An article exploring how VBI applies to various supermarkets in the UK noted it applied variably across chains but held up overall, noting the "ONS collects inflation data through in-store visits, tracking prices against a fixed list of products. If one of the items is delisted, they find a replacement of similar quality. However, if a value item disappears altogether, ONS says that "breaks the price chain" and it will no longer be included in the statistic. Therefore, in cases like Asda’s cheapest rice or Morrisons’ ‘wonky’ apples, though shoppers are suddenly forced to pay more, this is not reflected in the inflation figure."
Asda, whose prices Monroe cited in their tweet as an example of inflation, has "taken on board" the concerns raised by VBI and stated they are taking steps to offer more budget items across all locations. CEO of Tesco John Allan stated that "I think the combination of increasing energy prices, the impact of National Insurance increases [in April] on people's incomes, and to a much much lesser extent increasing food prices, is going to squeeze the hardest-up still harder." He did not comment on the state of the industry but stated that Tesco's food inflation rate had been kept at one per cent over the last three months.

On 9 November 2001, soldiers of the Special Operations Unit (JSO), an elite special forces police unit of the FR Yugoslav State Security Service (RDB), also known as the Red Berets, raised a mutiny in response to the arrest and extradition of the Banović brothers, indicted for war crimes before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the group's opposition to the Government of Serbia headed by Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić. The mutiny ended on 17 November 2001 after certain concessions had been given to the Unit and the key figures in the State Security Service were dismissed.
The mutiny was the forerunner of major political upheavals in Serbia, one of which was the assassination of Zoran Đinđić in 2003.
Background
Overthrow of Milošević
During the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in October 2000, the Special Operations Unit (JSO) played a significant role. The Unit's commander Milorad Ulemek made an agreement with opposition leader Zoran Đinđić which resulted in Ulemek refusing to carry out Milošević's order to open fire on the anti-government protesters in Belgrade.
Arrest of Milošević and split within the transitional government
The following year, Milošević was arrested and transferred to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the Hague in late June 2001. This became a wedge issue, leading to a split within the transitional authorities and the formation of an "anti-Hague lobby" centered around Yugoslav President Vojislav Koštunica. As Koštunica distanced himself from the ruling DOS coalition, he created a kind of shadow government grouped around his presidential cabinet. This opened an opportunity for remnants of the Milošević regime to capitalize on the ongoing power struggle between Prime Minister Đinđić and President Koštunica, with the ultimate goal of preserving their interests.
Milorad Ulemek's resignation and criminal activities
During the year following the overthrow of Milošević, Milorad Ulemek increasingly associated with Dušan Spasojević, allegedly a former JSO member, who was a leader of the Zemun Clan. This was first made clear during the arrest of Spasojević and several Zemun Clan members in May 2001 in France, when Ulemek argued for their release in front of Interior Minister Dušan Mihajlović. After hearing of their arrest, Ulemek started a fire in the disco "Tvrđava" (Fortress) in Kula. He started several incidents in Belgrade's cafes, culminating on 15 June in the cafe "Bojan Stupica", during Ceca Ražnatović's birthday party. The Stupica incident, which included Ulemek threatening police officers while armed, led to his resignation from the Ministry of the Interior on 26 June 2001. Still, Ulemek kept his influence in the JSO, now led by Dušan Maričić "Gumar", and remained its de facto commander. After his resignation, Ulemek continued to enjoy certain privileges afforded to former high-ranking State Security operatives, such as armed guards dispatched from the police force.
Ulemek spent the several following months in Greece, where he was arrested in August 2001 for possessing a forged passport. Ulemek was released after State Security Service director Goran Petrović submitted a written request to Greek authorities. This arrest further upset him because he had long suspected that he, too, was wanted by the ICTY, and that he could be charged for the Ibar Highway attack. Increasingly paranoid, Ulemek met with Čedomir Jovanović, a member of Đinđić's inner circle, on 5 October 2001 in the Zemun Clan headquarters in Šilerova street. According to Jovanović, Ulemek relayed these fears to him during their meeting, meanwhile boasting of his alliance with Security Administration chief Aco Tomić.
Another event that made Ulemek feel threatened was ICTY prosecutor Carla Del Ponte's request for information from Interior Minister Mihajlović during her stay in Serbia on 19 October 2001. The information concerned around 200 individuals, including members of the JSO. Ulemek was also scheduled to appear before the court as a witness in the Ibar Highway case on 12 November. He was later himself indicted in the case and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Immediate causes
The immediate cause for the mutiny was the arrest of Predrag Banović and Nenad Banović, two brothers who were indicted for war crimes committed during the Bosnian War in Keraterm camp, and their subsequent extradition to the ICTY. The arrest was carried out by the JSO on 8 November 2001 in Obrenovac. During the mutiny, the JSO claimed they had no knowledge that the, what they considered an "unlawful and unconstitutional" extradition of the brothers to the ICTY will take place following their arrest. However, according to deputy State Security director Zoran Mijatović, the JSO was informed of the fact in a meeting on 7 November attended by commander Dušan Maričić and reserve commander Zvezdan Jovanović, and had not protested during the meeting.
Another possible underlying reason for the mutiny was the fact that the Banović brothers were former members of the Wolves of Vučjak paramilitary unit, closely aligned with the JSO, which could have raised fears that some members of the JSO might be arrested in the future.
Mutiny
On the evening of 9 November 2001, the Special Operations Unit disobeyed the State Security Service and most of its members withdrew from their jobs, including drivers and bodyguards of Serbian government officials. When the mutiny arose, Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić and Interior Minister Dušan Mihajlović were on official business while Goran Petrović, director of the State Security Service, was on vacation. Petrović informed deputy director Zoran Mijatović in the evening. Around that time, he also informed Čedomir Jovanović who tried to establish contact with the Zemun Clan in Šilerova, where he left a message for Ulemek.
That same evening, the JSO barricaded themselves inside their headquarters, a training center built on the site of the former salaš Štolc in Kula. There, they held a press conference from the memorial room, a space decorated with images of members who were killed in action, as well as maps describing their activities during the Yugoslav Wars. Their demands were read out to a group of journalists by a man who introduced himself as "major Batić", later identified as Vladimir Potić. These included the enactment of a law on cooperation with the ICTY and the dismissal of Interior Minister Dušan Mihajlović. The demand for a law on cooperation with the ICTY corresponded to President Koštunica's views on this matter. While there is no evidence that he was directly involved, his support for the mutineers gave the JSO additional legitimacy in the eyes of the public. In fact, his command over the army stopped the Government from resorting to a military solution to the crisis. Additional informal demands were established later, including the removal of Goran Petrović from his position of director.
On 10 November, the JSO refused all communication with the government institutions. That day, the Unit blocked a loop of the E75 highway near Vrbas from around 1 PM to 3 PM.
Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić returned from his visit to the United States on 11 November. In the afternoon, he chaired a meeting held at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At this meeting, Đinđić asked Sreten Lukić for a direct answer to the question of whether the police could prevent JSO in its potential attempt to occupy the government building and he received a negative answer. Čedomir Jovanović got a coded letter from Milorad Ulemek during the day inviting him and Đinđić to the JSO headquarters to negotiate. In the evening, Đinđić visited the center of the Special Operations Units in Kula. Talks were held for three hours in order to calm the situation and find a solution. The statement, which was distributed to the journalists points out that Đinđić accepted the reasons for the protest, but was not ready to support them.
Highway blockade in Belgrade
On Monday, 12 November at around 5:20 AM, about 70 armed members of the Special Operations Unit blocked the highway through Belgrade near Sava Centar in the direction of the Gazela Bridge with their Humvee vehicles. Among the rebels was Zvezdan Jovanović, later sentenced to 40 years in prison for the assassination of Đinđić. At around 7:30 AM, Goran Petrović sent his deputy Zoran Mijatović to negotiate with the Unit. Mijatović came to the blockade at around 8 AM, where he talked to Maričić and threatened him with an ICTY indictment. Mijatović was incorrect, seeing as neither Maričić nor any other members of the JSO, apart from Franko Simatović, were ever indicted by the ICTY. During the negotiations on the highway, Mijatović also threatened Maričić saying the population in the surrounding buildings consisted mainly of former and current army officers, many of whom owned weapons. Meanwhile, the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit of the Ministry of the Interior was on full alert that day and the day before. The JSO cleared the highway around 3 PM on 12 November.
That afternoon, Milorad Ulemek testified at the trial for the murders on the Ibar Highway. He came to court together with several armed men, which affected other witnesses who refused to testify at the hearing out of fear. After leaving the courtroom, Ulemek told the media that he supported the mutiny and that everyone had the right to protest in their uniforms. This sentiment was echoed several days later by President Vojislav Koštunica, who justified the JSO protesting armed and uniformed by comparing them to doctors who would protest in their lab coats.
Agreements and the end of the mutiny
On 13 November, Deputy Prime Minister Čedomir Jovanović and Interior Minister Dušan Mihajlović went to Kula to negotiate an end to the mutiny. The JSO demanded that Mihajlović resign from the position of minister, to which he agreed. However, Jovanović took the written resignation from his hands and tore it up. A fight broke out and Zvezdan Jovanović threatened Jovanović with a knife. It was agreed that Mihajlović should present a letter of resignation to the Government.
The following day, the Government of Serbia declined Mihajlović's resignation, but accepted the resignation of State Security Service director Goran Petrović and his deputy Zoran Mijatović. Mihajlović made Andreja Savić acting director of the Service the day after on 15 November.
Following the negotiations with the Special Operations Unit, some concessions were given and Goran Petrović was removed from the position of director of the State Security Service and Andreja Savić was appointed in his place permanently, while Milorad Bracanović was appointed his deputy. Bracanović was a security officer for the JSO before the mutiny. This position was later occupied by Veselin Lečić. The Unit was reassigned from the State Security Service to the Public Security Service and it was agreed upon that the Unit can be used only be the order of the minister and with the approval of the Government of Serbia. Đinđić refrained from dissolving the JSO in the name of preserving stability.
The mutiny ended on 17 November 2001, at around 7 AM, when armored personnel carriers and armed guards who had been there throughout the uprising were removed from the entrance to the JSO base. The base was visited by Andreja Savić and Sreten Lukić.
Role of the Zemun Clan
Dušan Spasojević, the leader of the Zemun Clan, was one of the main organizers of the mutiny. In the intercepted telephone conversations between him and JSO commander Dušan Maričić, held on 9 and 11 November, Spasojević discussed the mutiny, the next steps JSO needs to take and how to tactically coordinate the event's media coverage.
According to the testimony of Zoran Vukojević "Vuk", a protected witness in the trial for the assassination of Zoran Đinđić, members of the Zemun Clan visited the Special Operations Unit base in Kula every day during the uprising and influenced journalists. He also testified that Spasojević was planning on making lawyer Gradimir Nalić the Interior Minister if Mihajlović were to resign.
Additionally, on 12 November, district prosecutor Rade Terzić informed the Fourth Municipal Prosecutors' Office that the JSO was demanding the release of Mile Luković "Kum" and several other Zemun Clan members from custody. His request was declined. Terzić later released Luković from custody himself, due to lack of evidence, on 16 November.
Responses and reactions
President of FR Yugoslavia Vojislav Koštunica supported the rebellion, saying that "these were people who did not endanger the country's security". At one point, he seemingly quoted a public statement by Milorad Ulemek on the matter, justifying the JSO protesting fully armed and uniformed. Later, Koštunica would assess the coincidence of his statement with Ulemek's as "unimportant". Rade Bulatović, Koštunica's security advisor and later State Security Service director, supported Savić and Bracanović at the helm of the Service, publishing the article "Pobeda patriotizma" (Victory of Patriotism) on the topic in the March 2002 issue of NIN magazine. Koštunica's potential role in the mutiny would repeatedly come into question in the following years. Goran Petrović has described the event as a "counter-revolution" prepared by Koštunica.
The president of New Serbia Velimir Ilić supported the mutiny, with the caveat that it would "complicate the security situation in the country".
The Socialist Party of Serbia also supported the mutiny.
Vice president of the Christian Democratic Party of Serbia Živojin Stijepić opposed the mutiny and said the leaders of the JSO should be replaced.
Deputy Prime Minister Momčilo Perišić attributed the event to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Minister of Agriculture Dragan Veselinov and the Social Democratic Union led by Deputy Prime Minister Žarko Korać advocated for a dissolution of the JSO following the mutiny.
Milorad Ulemek was interviewed for the magazine ID on 21 November by Gradiša Katić, later arrested during Operation Sabre. In the interview, he insisted the event was a protest instead of a mutiny, saying "if it were a mutiny, we would have taken over all Government offices by Saturday".
Aftermath
On 12 March 2003, Đinđić was assassinated in the yard of the Serbian government headquarters. He was killed by Zvezdan Jovanović, the then assistant commander of the Special Operations Unit. On 25 March 2003, the Special Operations United was disbanded.
The indictment for the assassination of Prime Minister Đinđić states that the JSO mutiny was the "beginning of creating a political environment for the assassination". On 11 November 2010, Đinđić's mother's and sister's lawyer, Srđa Popović, filed a criminal complaint with the Special Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime against Ulemek, Maričić, Koštunica, Tomić and five others for the participation in the mutiny.
The indictment was raised on 9 March 2012, but ultimately discarded the complaint against Vojislav Koštunica and Aco Tomić. The Higher Court in Belgrade found the accused not guilty in the first instance in July 2018, after which the Appellate Court acquitted them in June 2019.

The Hyundai Elantra N TCR is a racing car developed by Hyundai Motorsport. It is Hyundai's third TCR car after the Hyundai i30 N TCR and the Hyundai Veloster N TCR.
Development
The Elantra N TCR was unveiled by Hyundai Motorsport in September 2020, before which it took part in an intensive test program for 3 months and with the help of Gabriele Tarquini, among others, ran . both longer competition packages were developed in parallel. Spy photos of the events were also leaked.
The car is equipped with a front-wheel drive and 2-liter turbocharged engine in accordance with the TCR rules, which comes from the base engine of the then completely new Hyundai Elantra. It has the same six-speed transmission with shift paddles as the previous two Hyundai TCR models. It was officially unveiled at Auto China. Hyundai Motorsport said the project started with a completely blank sheet of paper, allowing designers and engineers in the Customer Racing department to take full advantage of Elantra's stable, high-performance chassis and limousine body to optimize design - its predecessors were sloping. To create the best competitive package, they were able to leverage the experience of more than two years of racing customers of the i30 N TCR and Veloster N TCR, while taking advantage of opportunities to upgrade their existing car wherever possible.
The car made its competitive debut at the 2021 Michelin Pilot Challenge season opener at the Daytona International Speedway. Among the highest-rated touring car series, several copies of the vehicle were launched in the WTCR and the TCR Europe Touring Car Series, the latter winning its first race, and in the TCR South America Touring Car Championship, several teams also bought them.

New Political Culture Party () is a political party in Armenia. It is led by Ani Zakharyan.
History
The party was founded on 2 April 2013, during a party congress held in Gyumri. Ani Zakharyan, a former member of the Republican Party of Armenia, was elected as Chairwoman. The party has never participated in national elections, and has no representation in the National Assembly. The party currently acts as an extra-parliamentary force.
Ideology
The party supports Armenia's European integration and leader Ani Zakharyan has called for Armenia to sign an Association Agreement with the European Union. While the party supports strengthening economic relations with Russia, Zakharyan has stated that Russia poses a serious challenge for Armenia to sign any Association Agreement with the EU and accused Russia of trying to take advantage of Armenia's fragile political situation.
The party advocates for maintaining traditional views regarding marriage and opposes same-sex marriage, while supporting the activities of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The party also supports independent media and the unification of the Republic of Artsakh with Armenia. Ani Zakharyan advocates for advancing women's rights and allowing women to serve in the military, but opposes abortion rights.
Activities
In January 2014, the party criticized the Prosperous Armenia party for failing to make any real political change in the country.
Prior to the 2017 Armenian parliamentary election, the party announced its support and endorsement of the Republican Party of Armenia.
In October 2019, Ani Zakharyan was collecting signatures from the public in central Yerevan, in an attempt to be appointed Prime Minister.
During the 2020–2021 Armenian protests, the party called for Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign. In June 2021, Ani Zakharyan proposed for herself to be nominated as President.

John Robinson (1683 - August 24, 1749) was a planter and a politician in the British colony of Virginia. Robinson acquired significant landholdings (farmed using enslaved and indentured labor) and held several public offices in Colonial Virginia, including two terms as one of the representatives of Middlesex County in the House of Burgesses and nearly three decades on the Governor's Council (rising to become its President). He may be best known either for the final weeks of his life, when he was acting Governor of Virginia, or as the father of John Robinson Jr., who served as Speaker of the House of Burgesses and as the colony's Treasurer for more than three decades.
Early and family life
This John Robinson was probably born on one of this father's plantations in Middlesex County, Virginia in 1683 to the former Agatha Obert (1649-1686) and her merchant and planter husband Christopher Robinson (1645-1693). He had an elder brother, Christopher Robinson (1681-1726), who also followed their father's paths as a planter and politician. During their childhood, their father grew in political power in Virginia (eventually becoming the colony's secretary) as well built a manor house which this man would inherit, and which survives today, Hewick Plantation, near modern Urbanna. Although their mother died when both were young boys, their father remarried, to the widow Katherine Hone Beverley (1643-1692), the daughter of burgess Theophilus Hone and widow of Major Robert Beverley, a wealthy planter and clerk of the House of Burgesses.
Upon reaching legal age, John Robinson, Jr. married Katherine Beverley (1684-1726), who bore six son and two daughters who survived to adulthood, most of whom married into the First Families of Virginia. They sent their eldest son, Christopher Robinson (1703-1738) to England for his education, but he died unmarried at Oriel College of Oxford University. Thus, they kept John Robinson Jr. (1704-1766) in Virginia to finish his education, and he followed his father's (and maternal uncles') path into agriculture and politics. Another son, William Robinson (1709-1792) moved to Spotsylvania County and married Agatha, the daughter of Henry Beverley; his brother Henry Robinson (1718-1758) married Mary Waring. Robert Robinson (b. 1711) became Captain of the East Indiaman and would be buried at Gravesend in England. The youngest son, Beverley Robinson (1722-1792), would leave Virginia with a company of Virginia soldiers to defend the New York frontier, then married an heiress in that state, but ultimately become a Loyalist during the American Revolution and moved to and died in Britain. Their two daughters were Mary Robinson (1707-1739) and Catherine Robinson Wagoner (1715-1776).
Career
Robinson owned significant acreage in Tidewater Virginia, which he farmed using indentured labor, and increasingly using enslaved labor. He also represented Middlesex County (part time) in the House of Burgesses alongside his elder brother Christopher Robinson.
When Governor William Gooch retired and sailed back to England, possibly on August 14, Robinson as head of the Governor's Council, became the colony's acting governor. No record exists of Robinson's taking the oath of office, possibly because the Governor's ship was becalmed in the York River, and following Robinson's death on August 24 (and the resignation for health reasons of the next-senior Councilor, John Custis), Governor Gooch returned ashore to convene a special session of the Governor's Council, which designated Councilor Thomas Lee as acting Governor, as Lee would certify to the Board of Trade. However, Thomas Lee also died, so Lewis Burwell I/II became the colony's acting governor, before Governor Robert Dinwiddie finally arrived in 1751.
Death and legacy
Robinson died at the home of fellow Councilor Thomas Nelson in Yorktown, Virginia on August 24, 1749. His remains were returned to Middlesex County for burial.

Enterographa lichexanthonica is a species of crustose and corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in the Brazilian Amazon, it was formally introduced as a new species in 2017 by lichenologists Marcela Eugenia Cáceres and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by the authors from the Adolfo Ducke Forest Reserve (Manaus, Amazonas), along trails near a field station; here, it was found growing on tree bark in a old-growth rainforest. The lichen has a thin, dull, pale greenish thallus surrounded by a thin black prothallus. Its ascospores are hyaline, have seven septa, and measure 21–27 by 5–6 μm; they have a 1 μm-thick gelatinous sheath surrounding them. The specific epithet lichexanthonica refers to lichexanthone, a secondary chemical that occurs in the cortex of the lichen. This compound causes the lichen to fluoresce yellow when a UV light is shone upon it. Enterographa lichexanthonica is morphologically similar to E. kalbii, but this latter species has lichexanthone only on the ascomata, not on the thallus.

Johannes de Deo ( – 15 March 1267) was a Portuguese priest, judge and scholar of canon law who taught for over twenty years at the University of Bologna. He was a prolific writer.
Life
Johannes was called Hispanus, meaning a native of the Iberian Peninsula. He was born in Silves during the brief period when it was held by King Sancho I of Portugal between 1189 and 1191. He refers to himself as a priest, and seems to have been ordained in Lisbon before studying at the University of Bologna. He studied canon law and possibly civil law at Bologna from 1223 until 1229. His main teacher was the archpriest Zoen. He was a professor at Bologna from 1229 until at least 1255. He appears to have been a doctor of both laws. The titles he uses of himself are doctor decretorum (doctor of decrees) and utriusque juris professor (professor of both laws).
In 1241, Johannes acquired a canonry in the cathedral of Lisbon. In 1247, he arbitrated a dispute in Bologna. He served as a judge on several occasions, including on occasion as a judge delegate of Popes Innocent IV and Alexander IV. By March 1260, he had left Bologna to become archdeacon of Santarém in the diocese of Lisbon. He continued to work as an arbitrator and judge in Portugal. One of his cases involved the monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra and the philosopher Pedro Julião, the future Pope John XXI. Johannes died in Lisbon on 15 March 1267.

In addition, some glosses on the Arbor actionum of John Bassianus are attributed to Johannes de Deo. Johannes dedicated several of his works to Zoen. Although his work as a whole is not very original, it is valuable to historians for its citations of sources. It was more highly regarded and circulated widely up to the end of the 15th century. There are many manuscripts that carry his work. Johannes Andreae had a low opinion of the Arbor versificata, which he said was so difficult and obscure as to make known things unknown. William Durantis relied heavily on Johannes.
Johannes argued that the Crusades were just wars, that is, wars justified by the right of defence under natural law. His Liber poenitentiarius became the new standard for penitentials.
Few of Johannes' works have been printed, an exception is Principium decretalium, which has been edited by Hermann Kantorowicz.

Cryptothecia lichexanthonica is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Arthoniaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2013 by Edvaneide Leandro de Lima, André Aptroot, and Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres. The type specimen was collected by Lima from the Vale do Catimbau National Park (Buíque, Pernambuco), at an altitude of ; here it was found growing on smooth tree bark. The lichen has a smooth, pale greenish-grey spreading thallus up to in diameter. The thallus, which is 0.1–0.2 mm thick, is surrounded by a thin (about 0.3–0.6 mm) brown hypothallus. The ascospores are muriform (sectioned into more or less equal chambers), ellipsoid in shape, and measure 55–75 by 22–28 μm. The specific epithet lichexanthonica refers to lichexanthone, a secondary chemical that occurs in the thallus. This compound is rare in the genus Cryptothecia, as the only other congener in which it known is to occur is Cryptothecia assimilis.

On 16 June 1980, Patricia "Patsy" Morris, a fourteen-year old schoolgirl from Isleworth, London, was murdered by strangulation. She disappeared after leaving her school during her lunch break, and was found dead in undergrowth on Hounslow Heath near her home two days later. Despite repeated appeals for information by police, her murder remains unsolved.
The murder was brought to public attention again in 2008, when it was discovered that she had been a childhood girlfriend of west London serial killer Levi Bellfield. Police investigated links between her murder and Bellfield but he was never formally charged over her death.
Background
Patricia Morris (10 January 1966 – 16 June 1980) was a blonde 14-year-old schoolgirl born to George Morris, a retired army chief, and Marjorie Morris. She had moved with her family from Birmingham to Isleworth, South West London, in 1979. She attended Feltham Comprehensive School with her sister and two brothers.
Disappearance
On 16 June 1980, Morris disappeared, having been seen leaving her school during her lunch break. Various explanations have been cited as the reason she left her school that lunch. According to some sources, she had forgotten her rain coat that morning and told her friends that she was going to return home at lunchtime to change in to dry clothes, as she had got wet from the rain. Other sources state that she had a double history lesson scheduled for that afternoon which she often avoided attending, and so bunked off the rest of the school day. A witness recalled seeing her soon after noon near her home. Another witness recalled seeing a girl who may have been Morris crouching at a bus stop on the Hounslow Heath side of Staines Road, just west of the Hussar public house between 12:20 p.m. and 12:40 p.m. These were the last sightings of her alive.
After she was reported missing a large search operation was launched to find her, involving hundreds of police officers, helicopters and members of the public who had volunteered to help.
Discovery of body
Two days later, on the evening of 18 June, Morris's body was found by a police dog handler face down in a copse on nearby Hounslow Heath, close to her home. She was variously described as being fully-clothed or half-naked. She had been found ten yards from a path through one of the small woods. She had been strangled with a ligature. For an unknown reason, police found that she had been wearing two pairs of knickers that day. Her knickers and her tights had been pulled down over her ankles. A second pair of tights with one leg missing was tied around her leg and wound upwards until it was knotted four times around her neck, as a form of ligature. An identical pair of one-legged tights was also wrapped three times around both her wrists in front of her body and then over her breasts.
There was no signs of sexual assault, but her knickers being pulled down and her clothing being organised in the way it was suggested a sexual motive to the killing. The evidence suggested the perpetrator had found sexual stimulation without penetration.
Police investigations
Police released a public statement after the death, warning parents in west London not to let their children cross Hounslow Heath alone. Morris's mother said that she had no reason to be on Hounslow Heath, stating to the press: "We can't understand what she was doing on the heath. She was always told not to go there and never disobeyed our orders". Attacks on women and even deaths were not unknown in the area, but previous attacks had invariably involved the full rape of the victim.
Soon after Morris was found dead, her father received a phoned death threat from an unidentified teenage boy. The call was from a local caller with a local sounding voice.
Police investigations at the time drew a blank and no suspects were identified. In 1996 police arrested a man from Hounslow, but he was released on bail and no further action was taken.
Peter Tobin as a suspect
In 2007, Morris's murder was one of a number of cases linked in the press to newly discovered Scottish serial killer Peter Tobin, who was found to have killed three women between 1991 and 2006. After hearing of the discovery of two women's bodies buried at Tobin's former Margate home, George Morris said that something inside him "clicked" and that he believed Tobin had also murdered his daughter. Her case was reviewed as part of an investigation into other potential victims of Tobin, named Operation Anagram, but Morris's family heard no more from the police and the investigation was wound down in 2011, having found no evidence that conclusively linked Tobin to any other murders.
Levi Bellfield as a suspect
In February 2008, police revealed they were investigating a possible confession to the murder made by Levi Bellfield, an Isleworth-born killer who lived nearby at the time and who had just been convicted of two murders and an attempted murder. The attacks had been committed between 2003 and 2004 in the vicinity of the Morris murder site. Bellfield was alleged to have made the confession to a cellmate while on remand. It was then revealed that Bellfield had attended Feltham Comprehensive with Morris, and that he was her childhood boyfriend. Morris's family told the press that they had not known they had known each other, and her sister stated: "We did not know him. It was a shock when we found out they knew each other. Friends told us about it. It is horrendous." In 2011, Bellfield was further convicted of the murder of another schoolgirl, Milly Dowler, who he had abducted and raped in 2002.
Bellfield would have been 12 years old at the time of Morris's murder, which occurred a year before he received his first conviction, for burglary, aged 13. He was known to have repeatedly played truant while at school and was known to often frequent Hounslow Heath when he should have been at school. He was known to have not attended school the day of the murder. Former partners of Bellfield recounted that he had a hatred of blonde women and targeted them for attacks, and it was noted that Morris was herself blonde. Some claimed that Morris's death could have been the start of Bellfield's violent obsession with blondes.
After it was revealed that Bellfield was being investigated by police for his daughter's murder, George Morris stated that he was certain that the teenage boy who had given him a death threat in a call at the time was Bellfield, saying: "He's a local man, which is why it could be him. And it's terrifying to think that someone of twelve or thirteen could have done it".
Subsequent events
With Bellfield having not been charged with Morris's murder, it was reported in 2012 that he may have been ruled out as a suspect. However, in 2016 it was reported that links between Bellfield and other crimes had been reinvestigated after new information had been found, and that Morris's case could have been one of around 20 crimes believed to have been committed by Bellfield that police had questioned him on. Police subsequently announced that all lines of enquiry had been exhausted and no evidence had been found to link him to any other unsolved crime.
Morris's murder remains unsolved. Both of her parents have since died.
Alleged links to Peter Sutcliffe
In 2015, crime writers Chris Clark and Tim Tate published a book alleging links between a number of unsolved murders and the infamous "Yorkshire Ripper" serial killer Peter Sutcliffe. In the book, the authors claimed that Morris could have been a victim of Sutcliffe, since he was known to have been house-sitting nearby in Alperton with his brother at the time, and both were regularly cruising and picking up women in their car for sex. Clark and Tate claimed that Morris was found half-naked and that her clothing had been arranged in a typical Yorkshire Ripper-like fashion, with her clothes pushed upwards over the top half of her body. Her body was allegedly also posed in the same fashion as his known victims. Police have apparently never investigated links to Sutcliffe.
In popular culture
Morris's murder has featured in a number of documentaries about Bellfield, such as the 2012 documentary His name is Evil: Levi Bellfield which was shown on Crime + Investigation as part of the Evidence of Evil series. Her murder is also discussed in the 2021 Channel 5 documentary Levi Bellfield: Getting away with Murder?, featuring an interview with Jeff Edwards, the chief crime correspondent at the Daily Mirror at the time.
In 2011, crime writer Geoffrey Wansell released a book on Bellfield that also suggested possible links between him and Morris's murder, titled: The Bus Stop Killer: Milly Dowler, Her Murder and the Full Story of the Sadistic Serial Killer Levi Bellfield. Wansell speculated that the murder could have been as a result of her rejecting Bellfield and him becoming infuriated as a result. Chris Clark and Tim Tate's book which suggested links between Peter Sutcliffe and Morris's death was published by John Blake publishing in 2015. ITV filmed a documentary based on the book titled Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders which is to be shown in February 2022.

The Gosby House Inn, in Pacific Grove, California, is a two-story Victorian mansion that was built in 1887 by J.F. Gosby. The Inn evolved architecturally in stages, from a vernacular boarding house serving a religious retreat to a Queen Anne hotel catering to vacationers. The Victorian was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1980. In 2022 it is still operating as a bed and breakfast lodging establishment.
History
The Gosby House Inn was built by J. F. Gosby, a native of Nova Scotia and a cobbler by trade. He began building the home in 1886 and took up residence there in 1888. Gosby opened his home to seasonal visitors attending Methodist religious and educational meetings held all summer long in Pacific Grove, California. Gosby enlarged the inn several times. The inn is an example of the Queen Anne style architecture, with a rounded corner Queen Ann-style tower, and bay windows.
The inn dates to the days when Pacific Grove was the western headquarters for the Chautauqua Movement. Members of the Methodist Church founded a community that gave way to Victorian cottages in the area between Lighthouse Avenue and the ocean.
In the 1920's, the inn was called the El Carmelo Hotel by previous owners, to attract attention from Carmel's tourism. Roger and Sally Post bought the inn in 1978. They restored the inn to its original color and changed the named to the Gosby House Inn. The interior has been decorated with antiques. The exterior, with stained glass windows, bay windows, and gable roofs.

Michail P. Petropouleas (Greek: Μιχαήλ Π. Πετροπουλέας, 1911–2010) was born in the Maniot village of Aghios Nikon, Greece and was a Major General (Signals Arm, OF-7) of the Hellenic Army. He developed a significant military activity with participation in the World War II and he was awarded with all decorations, commendations and medals provided for his rank. After his military discharge, he successfully served as chief executive officer (CEO) of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation from 1974 to 1976.
Education & Educational Work
Following his graduation from the High School of Areopoli, Mani, Greece in 1929, Michail Petropouleas pursued higher military and academic studies. Specifically, he studied at the Hellenic Army Academy, the Military School of Transmissions, the Infantry School, the Supreme Joint War College, the Hellenic National Defence College as well as the Panteion University.
His educational work was also notable and interestingly, he was appointed as a professor at the Hellenic Army Academy and he taught twice at the Hellenic National Defence College.
Military career
Petropouleas served his country from various positions, to the point of holding executive positions in the Army. He was named Infantry Second Lieutenant (Engineer, OF-1) on May 4, 1937, and then he commanded several important Units.
During the Period of Peace he was assigned as:
Commander of a Battalion, Commander of an Order, Commander of a Corps Officers Military Academy (Signals Arm), Commander of a School of Infantry Officers (Signals Arm), Commander of a Division, Director of Public Relations at the Hellenic Army General Staff and he also assigned as Assistant Chief of Staff of the 1st Army Corps at the NATO Headquarters in Izmir, Turkey.
During the Period of War he was assigned as:
Commander of the XVIIth Battalion (Signals Arm) in Albania (Lesnitsa, Trebesina, Kleissoura, Ipsoma 731, Pogradec), hostage in Italian concentration camps and volunteer in the Sacred Band. On February 7, 1941, he was wounded on a hill in the straits of Kleissoura, but continued to fight with self-denial.
For his ethos, bravery and services to his country, Michail Petropouleas was twice honoured with the Medal for Outstanding Deeds, with War Crosses C' and B' Class, with the Gold Cross with Sword, with Medals of Military Merit C' and B' Class, with the Gold Medal of Valour, with the Medal of the Greek-Italian War, with the Medal of the Middle East and with the Cross of the Second Order of the Phoenix.
Hostage-taking
On October 6, 1942, he was arrested by the Italian occupiers in his village, Aghios Nikon (Outer Mani), and was taken hostage in Italy. He held the rank of Lieutenant (Engineer, OF-1).
During his hostage in Italy, he lived in various concentration camps (Bari, Parma, Piacenza) in squalid conditions, until September 12, 1943, when the last camp was disbanded. This happened four days after September 8, 1943, when an armistice was signed between General Pietro Badoglio and the Allies.
Then, Michail Petropouleas continued to undergo new hardships and challenges that forced him to live in hiding in the forests and villages of the Apennine mountains of northern Italy. On November 18, 1943, and after difficulties, he arrived in Rome, continuing to live in hiding for eight (8) months from house to house, until the entry of the Allies into the Italian capital, on June 4, 1944.
On July 6, 1944, he was taken by the Allies, along with other hostages, to a camp in Naples.
On July 12, 1944, the British placed the hostages in a camp in Taranto, where the Italian Fleet Naval Base was located.
Afterwards, Petropouleas boarded a British destroyer heading to the Middle East, where the exiled Greek Government was situated.
Indeed, on July 22, 1944, he arrived to Alexandria, Egypt, and later in the evening he reached Cairo by train.
On August 23, 1944, he was transferred to the Military Training Camp of Ismailia.
On August 24, 1944, he arrived in Nahariya, near Haifa, Israel, and volunteered as Private in the Sacred Band. He received an extremely rigorous training as a paratrooper. He remained in the Sacred Band until its dissolution.
In September 1944, he sailed from Nahariya, heading to Greece.
On October 14, 1944, he returned to his country, via Kythira and Poros and landed safely in Passalimani, Piraeus.
Lastly, he took part in several military operations against the Germans on the island of Milos (1944).
Anti-dictatorship action
Michail Petropouleas, as a deeply democratic man, openly condemned the military coup of April 21, 1967 in Greece. This attitude resulted in his early military discharge with the rank of Major General from the Junta of the Colonels, within the very first month of the imposition of the military dictatorship.
However, after the fall of the Junta and the restoration of Democracy, Michail Petropouleas was retroactively restored to the rank of Lieutenant General (Signals Arm, OF-8).
CEO of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation (ΟΤΕ)
After successfully completed his career in the Hellenic Army, Michail Petropouleas was appointed as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation from 10 September 1974 to 20 May 1976, when he handed in his resignation. He was a personal choice of the then Prime Minister and later President of the Hellenic Republic, Konstantinos Karamanlis (1907-1998).
During his time at the helm of the telecommunications giant, construction work was carried out on submarine cables and radio links, while telephone connections were gradually increased, with more and more Greeks acquiring telephones. Specifically, at the end of 1975, 22 out of 100 Greeks had a telephone, an increase of more than 146,000 telephones since Petropouleas took over as CEO. it has to be underlined that by the middle of 1976, more than 2 million lines were operating. It is noteworthy that in 1975, 76 new cities, towns and villages joined the network, while Crete was connected to Attica and Cyprus and three new radio networks operated at the same time, connecting Greece with Bulgaria and Turkey.
Furthermore, as part of the government's efforts to better organize the country's defence as well as to consolidate and maintain peace, Hellenic Army's communications were modernized and strengthened.In fact, Petropouleas convened a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation during which, it was unanimously decided to grant the amount of 20,000,000 drachmas for the achievement of the aforementioned purposes.
It is worth noting that during his administration, Athens hosted important and internationally prestigious Summits, such as the 5th World Summit on Telecommunication Satellites (September 1975) with representatives from approximately 60 different countries and representatives from the Greek Government as well as the European Post and Communications Conference on Maritime Communications via Satellite, which was held in the presence of representatives from 12 Western European countries, including Greece, representatives of Greek Ministries and the Union of Greek Shipowners.
Petropouleas was succeeded by his then Deputy CEO and close associate, Chryssostomos (Chryssos) Kavounidis, a descendant of a well-known shipping family.
Literary work
After the end of his term as CEO of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation, Michail Petropouleas published two books. The first is entitled "Days of War and Hostage" (1978), while the second, which was published in the late 20th century, is entitled "Memorandum of the Petropouleas Family" (1998).
He was often invited by cultural associations to deliver lectures, which were very well received in the intellectual circles of the Greek's capital, Athens.
He passed away on July 22, 2010, and was buried the next day in the Cemetery of Papagou, Athens.

Buellia lichexanthonica is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) lichen in the family Caliciaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2017 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres. The type specimen was collected by the authors near the Poço Azul (Riachão, Maranhão), at an altitude of about ; here, in Cerrado, it was found growing on sandstone. The lichen has a thin (0.1–0.2 mm), dull yellow thallus covered with xanthone crystals. Its ascomata are round and black, about 0.2–0.5 mm in diameter with a flat disc. The ascospores are dark brown with an ellipsoid shape, one septum, and measure 11–13 by 6–7.5 μm. The specific epithet lichexanthonica refers to the presence of 4,5-dichlorolichexanthone, a lichexanthone derivative that is found in the cortex of the thallus.

During the climax of the Khmer–Cham wars, a battle had been fought between king Jaya Harivarman I of Champa against his rebelling brother-in-law Vamsaräja somewhere near Mỹ Sơn, Central Vietnam in 1150. After driving Khmer forces out of Vijaya in 1149, Harivarman spent years to reconquer other parts of the kingdom and consolidate the monarchy of Vijaya.
In 1150, in northern Champa, Vamsaräja rebelled against Harivarman. Vamsaräja gathered highland tribes: "Rade, Mada and other barbarians (Mlecch'a)" and attacked Harivarman, but was beaten.
Vamsaräja then requested aid from the ruler of Dai Viet, king Ly Anh Tong, who gave him 5,000 troops from Thanh Hóa, Nghệ An. According to Cham sources, "the king of the yvan, because he learned that the king of Cambodia created obstacles for Jaya Harivarman, proclaimed Vamsaräja, a man of Champa as king." With lend troops from Dai Viet, Vamsaräja marched his army totaling 100,000 and a thousand Viet senäpati to challenge Harivarman. They advanced to the plains of Dalvä and of Lavang. Harivarman gathered all of his royal troops in Vijaya to confront Vamsaräja in a pitched battle and fought them in a terrible combat, which Harivarman outmaneuvered his brother-in-law. Both Vamsaräja and the Vietnamese commander were killed in battle. In the following year, Harivarman subdued Amarävati Quảng Nam province.

The Golden Wings Flying Museum was an aviation museum located in Blaine, Minnesota.
History
The museum was founded in 1996 by Greg Herrick in a former University of Minnesota hangar.
In 1997, Greg Herrick began a campaign to force the Federal Aviation Administration to make the blueprints of historic aircraft available to the public. This led to a lawsuit in 1999 that eventually resulted in the "Herrick Amendment" being passed as part of the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act in 2012.
The collection was put up for sale in 2015.

The San Jacinto County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in the San Jacinto county seat of Coldspring, Texas. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2000 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
History
Coldspring was chosen as the county seat in 1870, and the first courthouse was completed the following year. Built out of wood in a late Victorian style, it sat in the heart of the old Coldspring townsite. A jail was added next door in 1887. On March 30, 1915, a fire swept through Coldspring and destroyed several buildings, including the courthouse. However, all documents had been stored in a brick vault behind the building and survived the fire. The downtown district and buildings, as well as most residents, moved south of the original location. San Jacinto County contracted Houston architects Roy E. Lane and Wilkes A. Dowdy for the designs and Price and Williamson for the construction. Construction began in 1916 and finished in 1917. Bricks made from locally sourced clay were chosen as the primary material. The courthouse underwent a renovation in 1936 but largely remains unchanged from its 1917 appearance.
In 2000, the courthouse was recognized as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and received a historic marker. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 2003.
Architecture
The courthouse was heavily influenced by the Classical Revival architectural movement. A wide promenade and staircases lead up to the front entrance, sheltered by a large tetrastyle portico. The pediment is supported by four Doric columns. The doorway and four windows inside the Above the front entryway hangs a large cross.
The courthouse building is surrounded by a large square plaza, with trees and pedestrian walkways. In 1976, a wooden gazebo was added to the northwest corner of the lawn, and a veteran's memorial was added to the southwest in 1995.

Lengger dance is a traditional Javanese dance originating from Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia. This dance is played in pairs, between a man and a woman. Lengger dance is one of the sacred dances in Java.
Etmology
Lengger means 'male and female dancers' which comes from the Javanese word 'eling ngger' . The meaning of Lengger dance is to give advice and messages to everyone to be able to invite and defend the truth and get rid of ugliness.
History
The Lengger dance began with a competition from the king Brawijaya of Majapahit who lost his daughter, Dewi Sekartaji. The king rewarded whoever managed to find his daughter. If the person who finds it is a man, he will be married to his daughter but if it is a woman, he will be appointed to the royal family. This competition was participated by many knights and finally only 2 participants left, namely Raden Panji Asmara Bangun disguised as Joko Kembang Kuning from the Janggala kingdom and Prabu Klana from the opposite kingdom. It was Prabu Klana that made the King's daughter run away because she was about to be paired with Prabu Klana, to win the competition, Joko Kembang Kuning goes on a quest disguised as a topeng (masked) woman who dances from one area to another to lure the princess out of her hiding place.
Joko Kembang Kuning's appearance attracted many crowds who saw his performance until finally the name of this dance was called Lengger which comes from 2 Javanese syllables, 'Ledek' which means male dancer and 'Geger' which means crowd. In the end, Dewi Sekar Taji emerged from hiding and finally Joko Kembang Kuning won the competition and married the princess. In their wedding, the bride and groom were treated to a performance of the Lengger dance.
During the Islamic Kingdom, the popularity of the Lengger dance increased because it was used by Sunan Kalijaga, one of the walisongo, to preach, until finally the meaning of Lengger was changed to 'Elingo Ngger', a Javanese phrase which means 'Remember'. Through this dance, Sunan Kalijaga reminded the people at that time to always remember the Almighty. In its development, this Lengger Dance is performed at every celebration event in Central Java. There are 2 dancers, namely men wearing masks and women wearing typical Javanese dancers clothes.
Form and Movement
This dance is performed by 2 dancers, a man and a woman in pairs. Typical of male dancers wearing topeng and typical of female dancers wearing traditional clothes and dressed like ancient Javanese princesses using a kemben and selendang (shawl). The duration of this dance is between 10 minutes in each round and is accompanied by music from traditional musical instruments such as gambang, saron, kendang, gongs, and others.

María Florencia López (born 26 February 1980) is an Argentine politician who has been Vice Governor of La Rioja since 2019, under Governor Ricardo Quintela. She previously served as intendenta (mayor) of Arauco from 2015 to 2019, and as a member of the provincial legislature for Arauco from 2011 to 2015. López belongs to the Justicialist Party.
Early life
López was born on 26 February 1980 in the city of La Rioja. Her family moved to Aimogasta when she was six years old, and she finished high school there. In 1997, she moved to San Miguel de Tucumán to study law at the National University of Tucumán; she graduated at age 22 with the best average score among women in the year 2001.
In 2003 she earned a notary's degree and began working in her own private practice. In 2005, she moved back to Aimogasta and began her political activism.
Political career
In 2007, López was elected to the deliberative council of Arauco Department on the Justicialist Party list. Upon the end of her term in 2011, she was elected to the Legislature of La Rioja as one of Arauco's three representatives. In 2012, she was elected vice president of the women's wing of the La Rioja Justicialist Party.
In 2015, she was elected intendenta (mayor) of Arauco, becoming the first woman to ever hold the post. Two years later, she ran for one of La Rioja's three seats in the National Senate as the second candidate in the Frente Justicialista Riojano list, behind incumbent senator Carlos Menem. The FJR list came second with 45.50%, and so only Menem was elected for the minority seat as per the Senate's limited voting system.
Toward the end of her term as mayor, in 2019, López was selected to be the running mate of Ricardo Quintela in the Frente de Todos gubernatorial ticket. Quintela and López won with 44.89% of the vote, and, on 11 December 2019, she was sworn in as Vice Governor of La Rioja. López was succeeded in her post as mayor of Arauco by her sister, Virginia López.
Carlos Menem died on 14 February 2021, two years before the end of his fourth term as senator. As the second candidate in the 2017 FJR list, López was next in line to fill in Menem's vacancy in the Senate, but she declined to assume the position as she wished to remain in office as vice governor of La Rioja.
In November 2021, following the retirement of Supreme Court minister Elena Highton de Nolasco, a group of provincial parliamentarians from across the North-Western region of Argentina backed López to replace Highton's vacancy in the court.

The Bloody Tower is a 1938 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street. It is the twenty ninth in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective. It was published in the United States the same year by Dodd Mead under the alternative title Tower of Evil. It is notable amongst Rhode's more realistic style during the series, for its Gothic elements. For The Guardian E. R. Punshon wrote "in The Bloody Tower Mr. John Rhode gives another excellent example of his eminently satisfactory and solid talent."
Synopsis
The crumbling Farningcote Priory has been the home of the Glapthorne family for generations. In the grounds stand a tower, built as a folly during the eighteenth century which seems to have a strange, almost mystical power over the family. When Caleb Clapthorne is killed in what at first appears to be a shooting accident, it soon proves to be murder. Yet Inspector Waghorn, in the area on the trail of a gang of thieves but called in to assist, fails to find any obvious motive. In the end he turns to Priestley to track down the vital clues.

The Misses Corbett were sisters Walterina Cunningham (died 1 April 1837) and Grace Corbett ( – 11 June 1843). They were Scottish authors who wrote a number of books, poems and songs in the early nineteenth century, most notably a series of anthologies called The Odd Volume (1826–1827). While their books were published anonymously, generally as "by the authors of The Odd Volume", they were traditionally ascribed to "The Misses Corbett", "Misses M and — Corbett" or "Marion and Margaret Corbett".
Biography
Walterina and Grace (born around 1765 or 1770) were the daughters of John Corbett (died 20 January 1815) of the ancient Glaswegian family of Corbett of Tollcross.
When only eleven years old, Grace was said to have composed the song "O Mary ye's be clad in silk", a new melody to a slightly altered version of the "Siller Crown". This was included in Peter Urbani's Selection of Scots Songs (1794), and James Johnson's Scots Musical Museum (1797).
The sisters lived in Portobello, Edinburgh. Walterina married John Cunningham of the 54th Regiment of the British Army. The sisters' niece Laura Corbett (1795–1863) lived with Grace, and may have assisted her with some of the books. An unidentified "H. C." is also given as the author of two songs and a waltz in The Odd Volume (1826), and may have been a relative of the sisters.
Their anthology The Odd Volume (1826) proved to be popular, with one publisher requesting a reprint of 750 copies, and an advance order for 1,250 copies of The Odd Volume: Second Series (1827), which contained entirely new material. The poem "We'll Go to Sea No More" from The Odd Volume: Second Series was reprinted a number of times, including in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Poems of Places (1874) where it was ascribed to Marion Corbett.
The sisters wrote a novel The Busy Bodies (1827) set in Portobello, with characters based on real people. Author William Baird wrote "That some of the characters represented were drawn from the life is only too evident from a statement we have heard that after its publication the Misses Corbett had to leave Portobello for a time to escape the wrath of the so-called Busybodies."
In 1828, one of the sisters' plays, Aloyse, was performed at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, and was said by author Ralston Inglis to have been a great success. This was followed two or three years later by another of their plays, A Week at Holyrood, or the Merry Days of James the Sixth.
Their book The Sisters' Budget was another anthology, with a preface dated "London, April 1831". Four years later in 1835, they applied to the Royal Literary Fund while living in Saint Saviour, Jersey.
They were correspondants with and considered by Thomas Aird to be friends of physician and writer David Macbeth Moir (1798–1851).
Walterina died on 1 April 1837, and Grace in Portobello, Edinburgh on 11 June 1843. They were both buried in Portobello Old Parish Church graveyard.

Daviesia localis is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted area of the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, spreading shrub with spine-tipped branchlets, scattered, spreading, curved, needle-shaped, sharply-pointed phyllodes and orange-yellow and red flowers with a v-shaped central mark.
Description
Daviesia localis is an erect, spreading shrub, typically high and about wide with divergent, spine-tipped branchlets. Its phyllodes are scattered, needle-shaped, gently curved, sharply-pointed, long and wide. The flowers are arranged in groups of four to seven in leaf axils on a peduncle long with oblong to narrow elliptic bracts long at the base, each flower on a pedicel long. The sepals are long and joined at the base, the upper two lobes joined for most of their length and the lower broad and less than long. The standard petal is egg-shaped with a deep notch at the tip, long and orange-yellow with a red flare and yellow, v-shaped central mark. The wings are long and dull red, and the keel long and dull red. Flowering occurs in October and November and the fruit is a triangular pod long.
Taxonomy and naming
Daviesia localis was first formally described in 2015 by Michael Clyde Hislop in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected north of Bindoon in 2002. The specific epithet (localis) means "local, belonging to a given place", referring to the restricted range of the species.
Distribution and habitat
This daviesia grows is only known from a single population in the Bindoon area where it grows in forest.
Conservation status
Daviesia localis is listed as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.

Caprettia lichexanthotricha is a species of lichen in the family Monoblastiaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2021 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Maria Fernanda de Souza. The type specimen was collected by the authors from Tagaçaba (Guaraqueçaba, Paraná); here the lichen was found growing on tree bark. It has a dull, pale greenish-grey thallus that covers an area up to . The photobiont partner of the lichen is trentepohloid, and in some parts of the thallus the resident algae partly escape and become filamentous. The thallus fluoresces a patchy yellow when shone with a UV light, due to the presence of lichexanthone, a secondary chemical for which the lichen is named. Caprettia lichexanthotricha is the only species in genus Caprettia that has lichexanthone.
