College Chums is an American silent film directed by Edwin S. Porter, and produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company. Plot summary While in a park, a young woman sees her fiancé being quite affectionate with another woman. When she calls him on the telephone to demand an explanation, he tells her that it was his sister. She is not satisfied, and insists on coming over to meet his 'sister'. As the young man broods over how to get out of trouble, a college friend comes over and offers to pretend to be the sister. At first this works, but soon it has created even more complications as first his fiancée and then her father start flirting with the friend. Cast Miss Acton Miss Antoinette Edward Boulden Katherine Griffith Mr. Kennedy Mr. Kurtis Production and release The film was produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company, and directed by Edwin S. Porter. It was shot in the new Edison studio in the Bronx in the summer of 1907 and released in the USA on 7 December 1907. Analysis The film is composed of 5 shots including a split-screen shot representing a telephone conversation. 1. Full shot in a parlour. The man kneels down and offers a ring to the woman. 2. Wide shot in a park. The man walks by flirting with another woman. The woman walking with her mother sees him. 3. The man's parlour. The man is sitting down. He gets up and goes to answer the phone. 4. The man and the woman on the phone on opposite sides of the screen in circular vignettes with a model of a city between them, and their conversation animated with text that moves between them. 5. Other view of the man's parlour. A college friend pretends to be the sister, creating various quid pro quo with the fiancée and her family. André Gaudreault notes that the film has several shortcomings: it "has a complicated story to tell in one reel and in some ways lacks sufficient means to tell it. The main part of the story is told in a very lengthy shot of the characters in the college rooms filmed in long shot, as if we were looking at a stage set." As a result, one "can scarcely observe the facial expressions of the actors [...] and only the broadest of gestures are used." He considers that this "avoidance of the shock of the cut to another shot [...] [is] a reflex of the older style now about to give way to quite a different one." On the other hand, he notes that way the film uses cross-dressing is at the limit of what could be acceptable material for comedy when "the father of the girl is drawn to the cross-dressing young man masquerading as the 'sister' and carries on a suggestive flirtation until caught up by his wife." He also identifies this film as an early example of the use in cinema of a telephone conversation to carry "an important part of the narrative." He notes as a clever touch the way in which "the letters express the emotions in the conversation: when the lovers quarrel, the letters meet and crash in mid-screen." but considers that the split-screen representation of the telephone call "shows the resistance of [...] Porter to the concept of alternating edits between distant spaces, which soon [would] become the common way to portray telephone conversations and, more generally, to represent the various threads of a narrative." Michael Frierson considers that when staging "a telephone conversation graphically, with a man and a woman on opposite sides of the screen in circular vignettes, the distance between them depicted as illustration of a city scape seen from above, and their conversation animated with text that moves between them, Porter [...] is looking backward to lantern slides and strip cartoons for visual codes to delineate the scene and make it visibly concrete, a single image compositing the speakers, their spatial relationship, and their dialogue shown in animated text." Bernard Perron refers to this film to illustrate his theory of Transi-Sounds, i.e. representation of sounds used for transition in silent films: "Inside irises positioned at the extremities of the frame and placed above the image of a city, a couple is seen conversing on the telephone. To express their exchange, Porter animates letters, which seem to drift in the air toward the man and the woman, creating a wave connecting the interlocutors. This is a lovely example of a literal transi-sound!

Courtfield, Welsh Bicknor, Herefordshire, England is a country house dating from the early 19th century. The present building stands on the site of a much older mansion which, according to tradition, was home to Henry V for the early years of his life. This house was originally called Greenfield or Greyfield but was renamed Courtfield at that time. Nothing now remains of that building and the present house was erected in the very early 19th century by William Michael Vaughan. The Vaughans had purchased the estate in the 16th century. Staunchly Roman Catholic, and much persecuted in the 17th and 18th centuries; in the mid-19th century Herbert Vaughan, later a cardinal and Archbishop of Westminster, was brought up at the house, born into a large family, an unusually high number of whom entered the church. In 1950 Courtfield was sold by Patrick Vaughan to the Mill Hill Missionaries who ran a House of Formation at the house. In 2010, the mission was closed and the house sold back to the Vaughan family, who had retained ownership of the wider estate. Courtfield is a Grade II listed building. The house is not open to the public. History The medieval manor of Grayfield, or Greenfield, was a possession of the Montagu(e) family. According to tradition, the young Henry V, born at Monmouth Castle in 1386, was raised at Courtfield between 1387 and 1394. The cradle of Henry V was long thought to have come from Courtfield, although modern furniture historians consider that the crib, now in the Royal Collection, post-dates his birth by at least a century. In the 16th century, the estate was bought by the Vaughans, a cadet branch of the Herbert family. The Vaughans were, and remain, Roman Catholic and suffered considerable persecution in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 19th century John Francis Vaughan married Louisa Elizabeth (Eliza) Rolls of the Rolls family of The Hendre, Monmouthshire. Although a convert to Catholicism, Eliza became extremely devout, and five of her six daughters became nuns while, of her eight sons who survived childhood, six became priests, including three bishops. The most notable was Herbert Vaughan, Archbishop of Westminster. Vaughan founded the Mill Hill Missionaries and the Catholic Truth Society, bought the Catholic newspaper, The Tablet to increase the influence of the church, and oversaw the early construction of Westminster Cathedral. In 1950 the Vaughans sold the house to the Mill Hill Missionaries, while retaining possession of the wider estate. The missionaries remained at the house until 2010, when it was sold back to the Vaughan family. The house is again a private residence and is not open to the public. Architecture and description The house is approached along a drive though a former deer park. The building is of seven bays and two storeys, the construction material being stuccoed stone. The style is Regency, executed in a not particularly adept way. Alan Brooks, in his 2012 revised Herefordshire Pevsner Buildings of England, notes the "unconvincing" arrangement of pilasters and pediment. Both Pevsner and Historic England attribute the design to William Miles, a surveyor from Stroud. Brooks further notes the Soanean influences in the interior of the house including vaulted ceilings, domed skylights and curved bay windows. A curved wall to the left of the house is pierced by an archway into the stable yard. This is now mostly filled with extensions dating from the 1960s, put up by the Mission fathers. Courtfield is a Grade II listed building. The chapel built by the Vaughans in the 1880s, and subsequently used by the Mission, a hermitage in the grounds, and a dower house, Glenwye, also have Grade II listings.

American politics has often settled into a two party system, which as well as involving conflict between the two parties has also involved long periods of bipartisanship. American Susceptability to Bipartisanship According to political analyst James Fallows in The Atlantic (based on a "note from someone with many decades' experience in national politics"), bipartisanship is a phenomenon belonging to a two-party system such as the political system of the United States and does not apply to a parliamentary system (such as Great Britain) since the minority party is not involved in helping write legislation or voting for it. Fallows argues that in a two-party system, the minority party can be obstructionist and thwart the actions of the majority party. although, Anne Applebaum has argued that the United Kingdom often has a bipartisan approach to politics despite appearances. The early constitutional period and non partisanship James Madison argued in The Federalist Papers that a danger to democracies were factions, which he defined as a group that pushed its interests to the detriment of the national interest. While the framers of the Constitution did not think that political parties would play a role in American politics, political parties have long been a major force in American politics, and the nation has alternated between periods of intense party rivalry and partisanship, as well as periods of bipartisanship. Periods of Bipartisanship There have been periods of bipartisanship in American politics, such as when the Republicans supported legislation by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson in the early 1960s, and when Democrats worked with Republican President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. It is claimed that the non-partisanship in foreign policy was a precursor to the concept of modern bipartisanship in U.S. politics. This was articulated in 1912 by President Taft, who stated that the fundamental foreign policies of the United States should be raised above party differences. In recent years, this was also shown in the case of President H. W. Bush's administration, which began with an atmosphere of bipartisanship on foreign policy in Washington. During this period, the concept of bipartisanship implied a consensus not only between the two parties but also the executive and legislative branches of the government to implement foreign policy. This was seen in the article Bipartisan Objectives for American Foreign Policy, authored by Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's Secretary of State, and Cyrus Vance, who was Secretary during President Carter's administration. Oppositionism in 2010s In the United States in 2010, however, there was wide disagreement between the Republicans and Democrats because the minority party has been voting as a bloc against major legislation, according to James Fallows in The Atlantic. In 2010, the minority party has the ability to "discipline its ranks" so that none join the majority, and this situation in the Congress is unprecedented, according to Fallows. He sees this inability to have bipartisanship as evidence of a "structural failure of American government." Adviser to President Obama, Rahm Emanuel, said the period from 2008–2010 was marked by extreme partisanship. After the U.S. elections of 2010, with sizeable gains by Republicans in the House and Senate, analyst Charles Babington of the Associated Press suggested that both parties remained far apart on major issues such as immigration and Medicare while there may be chances for agreement about lesser issues such as electric cars, nuclear power, and tax breaks for businesses; Babington was not optimistic about chances for bipartisanship on major issues in the next few years. While analyst Benedict Carey writing in The New York Times agrees political analysts tend to agree that government will continue to be divided and marked by paralysis and feuding, there was research suggesting that humans have a "profound capacity through which vicious adversaries can form alliances," according to Berkeley professor Dacher Keltner. An analysis in The New York Times in March 2010 suggested that the present state of American politics is marked by oppositional politics which has left the voters cynical about the process. Bipartisanship requires "hard work", is "sometimes dull", and entails trying to find "common ground" but enables "serious problem solving", according to editorial writers at The Christian Science Monitor in 2010. According to Robert Siegel of National Public Radio, there was virtually no cooperation between Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. during the few years before 2010. Bipartisanship and Presidential Weakness A call for bipartisanship is often made by presidents who "can't get their way in Congress," according to one view. Military policies of the Cold War and actions like the Iraq War were promoted and supported, through the mass media, as bipartisan acts. Examples of Bipartisanship In 2017, members of both major parties in Congress founded the Problem Solvers Caucus. References Political parties in the United States American political philosophy US
The is a Japanese early Internet urban legend about a supposed red pop-up ad which announces a forthcoming death of the person seeing it. Legend There are several variations of the Red Room Curse urban legend. Accorting to the most common one, while browsing the Internet the victim will be presented with a pop-up of a black text saying "Do you like — ?" (あなたは〜好きですか?) on a red background. After trying to close it, the pop-up will reappear, this time the text saying "Do you like the red room?" (あなたは赤い部屋が好きですか?). Then, the screen will turn red, displaying a list of names of the Red Room's victims. The target will sense a mysterious presence behind them, after which they will lose consciousness. They will later be found dead in their home, with the walls of the room in which they are discovered "painted red with blood". Origin and spread In the late 1990s, a Japanese interactive Adobe Flash horror animation, considered to be the origin of the Red Room Curse urban legend, was uploaded to GeoCities. It told the story of a young boy who was cursed and died after seeing the pop-up. The legend of the curse gained notoriety in 2004 due to the Sasebo slashing – the murder of a 12-year-old schoolgirl by an 11-year-old classmate referred to as "Girl A" at an elementary school in Sasebo. "Girl A" was reported to be a fan of the Red Room Curse animation, having the video bookmarked on her computer at the time of the murder. In 2016, a short film titled The Red Room Curse inspired by the urban legend was released. References Japanese urban legends Flash games Creepypasta
Warren Spring Laboratory was a UK government environmental science research centre that operated in Stevenage, Hertfordshire from 1958 until its closure in 1994. Described by New Scientist as "Britain's leading laboratory for environmental research", and by The Times as "one of Europe's most important environmental research centres", it had an international reputation in areas such as air and water pollution, waste management and recycling, land remediation, alternative fuel research, and chemical engineering. In 1994, after some political controversy, the laboratory was closed and merged with AEA Technology to form the National Environmental Technology Centre (NETCEN). History The laboratory was originally conceived as a replacement for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research Fuel Research Station in Greenwich. However, it was deliberately given a much less specific name, based on the area in Stevenage where it was built, to reflect a wider brief than simply researching fuel. It was planned by the Fuel Research Station's chief development officer, David Penny, who became the project's consulting engineer. According to The Herald, "despite a rather vague and constantly changing specification, the Warren Spring laboratory at Stevenage was completed on schedule and met all the complex technical requirements". After transferring from DSIR to the Ministry of Technology in 1965, it was run by the Department of Trade and Industry (and its various successors) until 1994. Closure In the early 1990s, Michael Heseltine, the UK government's President of the Board of Trade, announced that Warren Spring Laboratory would move to new premises in nearby Welwyn Garden City. Later, however, following a report from the PA Consulting Group, Heseltine scrapped the plan and announced that the laboratory would merge with the Atomic Energy Authority (AEA) and transfer to Harwell, Oxfordshire instead. This prompted considerable public opposition – and many of the Warren Spring staff simply refused to move, including most of its air pollution scientists. There was political opposition too. In May 1993, an Early Day Motion supported by 89 mostly opposition (Labour) MPs noted "with concern reports that the President of the Board of Trade now intends to go back on the agreement reached in 1992 to relocate Warren Spring Laboratory and instead to close it with the loss of 150 jobs and scientific expertise built up over many years; and calls on the President of the Board of Trade to save Warren Spring Laboratory from closure". Later, opposition MP Michael Meacher highlighted what he saw as conflicts of interest and a lack of competitive tendering, arguing that the plan was essentially motivated by the government's wider privatisation agenda, while Chris Smith MP called the plan "merely a fattening-up exercise for privatising AEA, which was not a particularily sellable proposition on its own". In response, for the government, David Davis MP countered that the merger would "over the next five years, save the taxpayer perhaps £32 million", though the eventual saving was just £8 million. The site of Warren Spring Laboratory, at Gunnels Wood Road, Stevenage, was sold to Glaxo, the pharmaceuticals company, for £25 million, and subsequently became a research and development laboratory.

Margaret Lemon (born c. 1614) was an English artist's model. She was the most painted female commoner of the seventeenth century and she was the partner of Anthony van Dyck. Life It is known that Lemon was English, but her date of birth can only be guessed by estimating her age in paintings of her. She is believed to have had Flemish ancestry and she was probably a courtesan when she met Anthony van Dyck after he came to work, again, in England in 1632. She was a musician who could play the Viol. Her life story is recreated based on gossip rather than records. She is known to have been in London from 1629. Although she was extravagant with money she was given the responsibility of looking after her partner's houses in Blackfriars and at his suite of rooms at Eltham Palace. Van Dyck entertained his rich patrons at his houses including Charles I of England. It is not recorded that she and the King met although Charles later bought a portrait of her. She was the model for Van Dyck's painting based on the classical idea of the "Modest Venus". The painting is in the British Royal Collection and it shows Lemon trying to, modestly, cover her breasts. Lemon was said to have had Endymion Porter as a guest while Van Dyck was away, but she expected Van Dyck to be faithful. Wenceslaus Hollar said that she tried to put Van Dyck's career in jeopardy when she attempted to bite off his thumb in a fit of jealousy. Lemon's relationship with Van Dyck ended and he married Mary Ruthven in February 1640 who was considered more respectable. His new wife came from a Scottish aristocratic family and she was a Lady-in-waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria. Van Dyck died two years later, but Lemon continued as a model attracting attention from younger ambitious painters including Peter Lely, Samuel Cooper, Cornelis Jansen van Ceulen and Adriaen Hanneman. Legacy There is a portrait of her in the Frick Collection which was made in about 1638 by Van Dyck and which was lost for some years. There is another in the Royal Collection which is kept at Hampton Court Palace. In 2022 there were eight portraits of her in the National Portrait Gallery which were "after Anthony van Dyck". Peter Lely's painting of her, in "The Concert", is in the Courtauld Institute. Contemporary copies and engravings of Van Dyck's painting of her as Flora exist although the original is lost. The historian Susan E. James says that she was the most painted female commoner of the seventeenth century.

Rocco Scotellaro (19 April 1923 - 15 December 1953) was an Italian poet, writer and politician. Life and career Born in Tricarico, in the Province of Matera, the son of a shoemaker and a homemade seamstress, Scotellaro studied law at the Universities of Rome, Naples and Bari without graduating, as the early death of his father forced him to return to his hometown. In December 1943 he joined the Italian Socialist Party, and after having been part of the local department of National Liberation Committee in 1946 he became major of Tricarico. His tenure as major was inspired by the theories of vita activa by Hannah Arendt, and spent a great deal of effort in improving the living conditions of his fellow citizens. On 8 February 1950 Scotellaro was arrested for an alleged extortion; the subsequent trial acquitted him "for not having committed the fact and because the fact does not constitute an offence", and in their sentence the judges explicitly referred to the case as motivated by "a political vengeance", but as a consequence a then disillusioned Scotellaro left his office and his hometown. He then collaborated with the Agrarian Economics Observatory and with the Association for the Industrial Development of Southern Italy (SVIMEZ), studying various projects and reforms. Scotellaro suddenly died of a heart attack on 15 December 1953, at the age of 30. Almost all his literary works were published posthumously, and earned the him critical acclaim as well as various prizes and awards, including the Viareggio Prize in 1954. His style belongs to New Realism, and Eugenio Montale described him as a "poeta contadino" ("peasant poet") and paired him to Sergei Yesenin and Attila József.

Situated in Valenciennes, this school is one of the public engineering institutes that make up the INSA's network. Academics INSA Hauts-de-France is one of several engineering schools within the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) network under the supervision of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance (France) (. All INSA engineering schools are Grandes Écoles, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the French public university system. Similar to the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and C9 League in China, Grandes Écoles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process. Alums go on to occupy elite positions within government, administration, and corporate firms in France. Although INSA engineering schools are selective and can be more expensive than public universities in France, Grandes Écoles typically have much smaller class sizes and student bodies, and many of their programs are taught in English. International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of the Grandes Écoles. Many of the top ranked schools in Europe are members of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE), as are INSA engineering schools.

The U-League, officially KUSF College Sports U-League (Korean: KUSF 대학스포츠 U-리그), is operated by the Korea University Sports Federation (KUSF), the organization which oversees college sports in South Korea. The KUSF U-League operates in six different sports which students from member institutions participate in. The U-League's intended purpose is: Guarantee the right to learn and improve performance through the operation of the university sports league Creating a culture of participation by university members and raising awareness of university sports by hosting home and away games on university campuses in a league system Sports Baseball — men Basketball — men & women Football (soccer) — men Ice hockey — men Soft tennis Volleyball — men & women Competition format The U-League operates in a league format which mirrors the leagues in domestic professional sport. The season follows the academic calendar, starting around February or March and ending in November. Member institutions The following member institutions participate in the U-League. Some institutions may also sponsor other sports which compete in KUSF-sanctioned competitions outside the U-League system, or sponsor a below-mentioned sport but only as an extracurricular club. KUSF Club Championship The U-League is considered to be the "elite" competition, with many participating student-athletes going on to become professional athletes. The KUSF runs a separate tournament for college sports club teams composed of students who wish to play sports but not at the elite level. The KUSF Club Championship is contested in four team sports: baseball, basketball, volleyball and football (soccer). History The KUSF U-League was first established for football in 2008 before being expanded to other sports and becoming the present-day U-League system. It streamlined college competitions into a league/play-off format mirroring professional leagues. The U-League's establishment also meant that member institutions were required to provide academic support for their enrolled student-athletes and shifting admissions policies to include academics, instead of admitting a student based solely on athletic performance while ignoring academic results. The KUSF U-League system was established during a period of time when there was much criticism over enrolled students (especially middle and high school students) being forced to choose between their studies and athletic pursuits, with students either graduating with bare minimum grades or dropping out altogether. The criticism was particularly directed towards the lack of coordination between their educational institutions and sports administrators, the lack of academic support for student-athletes and the fact that the existing system in place failed to uphold students' "right to learn" or practically prepare student-athletes for life outside of sports. The abuse of the "student-athlete" status by Choi Soon-sil to benefit her daughter Chung Yoo-ra and Ewha Womans University's involvement shed light on the KUSF. At that time, it became known that the KUSF issued a new rule for its member institutions regarding academic performance, known as the "C⁰ rule" (under Article 25 of the University Sports Regulations). It refers to the rule that athletes cannot participate in the upcoming semester if their GPA for the previous two semesters was below C⁰, which is a 2.0 GPA on a 4.3 or 4.5 scale depending on institution. The KUSF came under criticism for rashly enacting the rule due to the Choi Soon-sil/Chung Yoo-ra controversy, to which the KUSF responded with a statement that the rule had actually been discussed and announced to member institutions from 2012 to 2015 and C⁰ was the agreed minimum grade.

Although the United Kingdom has an adversarial political system, there have often been areas of agreement or bipartisanship between the two main parties at the time, currently Labour and the Conservatives, on a number of issues. This may extend to other parties, like the Liberal Democrats or Scottish National Party. Areas of agreement have tended to include Foreign policy and policy towards Northern Ireland. There is also a convention within British politics to have formal and semi-secret cooperation facilitated by both parties parliamentary whips and senior civil servants, a process often referred to as the usual channels. US perspectives US commentators have sought to apply their understanding of bipartisanship to analyses of the UK situation. According to political analyst James Fallows in The Atlantic (based on a "note from someone with many decades' experience in national politics"), bipartisanship is a phenomenon belonging to a two-party system such as the political system of the United States and does not apply to a parliamentary system (such as Great Britain) since the minority party is not involved in helping write legislation or voting for it. Fallows argues that in a two-party system, the minority party can be obstructionist and thwart the actions of the majority party. However, analyst Anne Applebaum in The Washington Post suggested that partisanship had been rampant in the United Kingdom and described it as "a country in which the government and the opposition glower at each other from opposite sides of the House of Commons, in which backbenchers jeer when their opponents speak." Applebaum suggested there was bipartisanship in the UK with the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition in 2010. References Politics of the United Kingdom UK

Simon Leviev (; born Shimon Yehuda Hayut, 27 September 1990) is an Israeli conman convicted of theft, forgery and fraud. According to The Times of Israel, between 2017 and 2019 he allegedly conned an estimated $10 million from victims across Europe in a Ponzi scheme. His criminal activity became widely known in 2019 after the publication of an article titled “The Tinder Swindler” by investigative journalists from the Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang, with the support of Israeli journalist Uri Blau, and later with the release of the 2022 Netflix documentary of the same name. In 2015, Leviev was sentenced to two years in prison in Finland, and in 2019 to 15 months in prison in Israel. As of 2019, he is still wanted in several countries for fraud. Early life Leviev was born Shimon Yehuda Hayut () in 1990 in Ramat Elchanan, Bnei Brak, Israel. At the age of 15 he moved to Brooklyn, New York in the US with his family's friends, who later accused him of misusing their credit card. According to interviews done by Felicity Morris, Leviev has been committing minor cons like cheque fraud since he was a teenager. He later changed his legal name from Shimon Hayut to Simon Leviev, using the surname Leviev to pretend he was related to Lev Avnerovich Leviev, an Israeli businessman known as "The King of Diamonds". Criminal activity and arrests In 2011, Hayut was charged in Israel with theft, forgery, and fraud for cashing stolen checks. According to reports, he stole a checkbook belonging to a family while babysitting their child, and another's while working as a handyman at their home. He never showed up in court, and escaped the country across the border into Jordan with a fake passport under the name Mordechai Nisim Tapiro, and fled to Europe. In 2012, he was indicted by an Israeli court and charged with theft and forgery of checks, as well as for leaving a five-year-old he was babysitting unattended. In 2015, he was arrested in Finland and was sentenced to three years in prison for defrauding several women. When arrested in Finland, he claimed he was an Israeli man born in 1978 and was found with two forged Israeli passports, three forged Israeli driver's licenses, two forged Israeli flight permits, and five forged American Express credit cards. After finishing his sentence early, he returned to Israel to be recharged and sentenced in 2017. However, according to The Times of Israel, he assumed a different identity by changing his legal name to Simon Leviev and fled the country again. Hayut travelled around Europe, pretending to be different people. He exploited several women in Germany using the name Michael Bilton. He also presented himself as the son of Russian-Israeli diamond mogul Lev Leviev, using the dating app Tinder to contact women as Leviev, and tricked them into loaning him money that he never repaid. He would charm women with lavish gifts, taking them to dinners on private jets using money he borrowed from other women he previously conned. He would later pretend he was being targeted by his "enemies", often sending the same messages and images pretending that his bodyguard was attacked, asking his victims to help him financially; they would often take out bank loans and new credit cards in order to help. He would then use the money gained through the deception to lure new victims, while essentially operating a Ponzi scheme. Later, he would pretend to repay his victims by sending forged documents showing fake bank transfers. In 2019, he was arrested by Interpol in Greece after using a forged passport. Later that year, he was sentenced to 15 months in prison in Israel, but was released five months later as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. According to The Mirror, he later offered "business advice" for a fee via a website. According to The Times of Israel, in 2020 he pretended to be a medical worker to get the COVID-19 vaccine early. Hayut is also wanted for various fraud and forgery offenses by Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In an interview with CNN on February 21, 2022, Leviev denied the defrauding of the women, claiming he was just a "single guy who wanted to meet some girls on Tinder." In popular culture In 2022, Netflix released a video documentary, The Tinder Swindler, which describes his story as told by some of his victims. According to The Washington Post, following the release of the documentary, Tinder banned Hayut from their app. He is also banned from other apps under Match Group Inc, including Match.com, Plenty of Fish, and OkCupid. In 2022, shortly after the release of the documentary, Leviev signed with talent manager Gina Rodriguez of Gitoni Inc., in hopes of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. He also has a Cameo account, where he charged $200 for personalized videos and $2,000 for business videos.

Radio the Universe is an indie action role-playing video game developed by 6E6E6E (or sixe). The game was originally funded via Kickstarter in 2012, and has been in development for the notably long span of a decade. Its final release date remains to be determined. The game has retro-styled 16-bit graphics, and takes place in a gothic cyberpunk setting, in which the female protagonist wakes up to find herself inside a "skyless and desolate labyrinth-city". The game takes place within the city, as well as an area in the outer space beyond it called the Null Module. Gameplay The game features top-down action RPG combat with an emphasis on open world exploration. The player can use both melee and ranged combat, and the player leaves behind their unspent experience points when they die in a similar manner to Dark Souls. These points can be spent to improve the character's attributes at upgrade stations. The game also contains boss battles, environmental hazards, and puzzles. Plot The main character wakes up to find herself trapped, whether physically, spiritually, or both, within a tower that was long abandoned and taken over by mechanoid enemies. Development The game was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2012, exceeding its initial goal of US$12,000 and ultimately reaching a total of $81,719, enough to fulfill all stretch goals and greatly expand the scope of the game. Sixe, an indie developer based in Washington, D.C., credited Symphony of the Night, Hotline Miami, Dark Souls and Yume Nikki as inspirations for the game's design, also comparing the game to Zelda and describing it as "dark science fiction". While the game's original estimated release was in March 2014, the game passed several estimated release dates, including late 2016 and winter 2020, with development still ongoing. Reception Tom Sykes of PC Gamer compared the game's aesthetics and gameplay to Hyper Light Drifter, calling it "gorgeous" and saying that he hoped that it was more "revelatory" than the aforementioned game. Jeffrey Matulef of Eurogamer called it "incredibly polished".

Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Ražanka is a Roman Catholic church in Belarusian town . The building was constructed in 1674 and rebuilt in 1827, it’s included into the national historic heritage list. History Construction The first in parish in was founded in the second part of the XVII century. Some sources place construction date as early as 1674, however, other believe it could have been built in the late XVI for the Calvinists and given to the Catholics later. However, the Catholics reject this hypothesis. According to the documents, the church was consecrated on June 17, 1674, in the name of Saint Peter and St Paul. In 1827 the church was rebuilt by order of Count Ludwik Michał Pac. The architect Enrico Marconi reconstructed it in Neo Gothic style that was spreading in England in the second part of the XVIII century. Some researchers presume that Marconi rebuilt the church completely and the building opened in 1827 should be considered a new one. In 1924-25 another restoration was made but it didn’t change the church’s exterior. In 1960 the church was closed by order of the Soviet authorities, a grocery shop was opened in the building. In 1989 it was returned to the Catholic church, restored and reopened in 1990. Architecture The church is a historical monument of Neo Gothic style, though some art historians describe it as eclectic. The single nave is topped by a low pentagon-shaped apse. Two symmetrical side chapels are connected to the side walls of the main volume. A small sacristy is located to the north part of the apse. At the south-west side of the church there is a three-tire bell tower. On both sides of the main entrance sculptures of St Paul and St Peter are standing in the niches. The facades are reveted with Rubble masonry. References 19th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Belarus Churches in Belarus Roman Catholic churches in Belarus

Olaplex is a damaged hair treatment product developed by two chemists, Eric Presley and Craig Hawk, who invented the chemicals to rebuild broken bonds in hair caused by chemical, thermal and mechanical damage. Mechanism of action The first contains bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which rebuilds broken hair disulfide bonds. Hair's protein, keratin, contains the amino acid cysteine and cysteine contains sulfur atoms; Normally, two sulfurs form a disulfide bond and bind between two proteins, which preserves the shape and texture of the hair, and straightening, curling, and hair dye break the bonds and turn them into free thiol. The second product completes the hair restoration and the third is used for the final protection of the hair by the consumer. Ingredients The active ingredient of Olaplex is a chemical compound called bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. References Hairdressing Hair care products

6th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement took place on 3–9 September 1979 in Havana, the capital city of Cuba. 93 countries took part in the summit. It was the first NAM summit which took place in one Iberoamerican country. The event was marked by political and ideological divisions among the non-aligned countries. The organizer wanted to use the event to propose "a natural alliance" between the movement and the Eastern Bloc causing strong resistance from some members, particularly SFR Yugoslavia. While both Cuba and Yugoslavia were at the time nominally socialist states, they took substantially different position in world politics with Cuba perceiving United States, and Yugoslavia Soviet Union as a threat to its independence. SFR Yugoslavia, at the time one of the most active members of the movement, accused Soviet Union and its allies for creation of divisions and efforts to manipulate the movement. Despite strong hospitality Yugoslav delegation received in Havana, Budimir Lončar was suspicious about further statements during the summit as he received a copy of Fidel Castro's speech in advance via his Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs and his personal friend Isidoro Malmierca Peoli. Castro's strong words caused representative of PR China Wang Zhanyuan as well as the representative from the United States Interests Section in Havana to leave the conference room. Delegation of Sri Lanka, the host country of the previous 5th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, perceived the opening speech as deficient in showing appropriate level of statecraft while delegation of India described it as completely irresponsible. Indian minister of foreign affairs warned the President of Cuba that he can't be aligned wit one, and non-aligned with another foot. Delegation of Indonesia commented that President Castro was threatening everyone at the summit. Kenneth Kaunda distanced himself from Castro's comments on Southeast Asia and underlined that both political left and center can oppose imperialism. Hostilities and divisions disappointed the delegation of Burma to the extent that they decided to leave the NAM altogether which was perceived as one of the strongest gestures of the summit, with some other countries such as Argentina considering the same move. President of Panama Aristides Royo underlined Josip Broz Tito's support on the process leading to the Torrijos–Carter Treaties which convinced his country to join the NAM. Following the speech by representative of Egypt Boutros Boutros-Ghali the host decided to give the floor only to critics of the country and the Camp David Accords with attacks from Madagascar, Iraq, Ethiopia, Iran, Angola, Vietnam, Palestine Liberation Organization, People's Republic of the Congo and Benin following one after the other. President of Yugoslavia and NAM veteran Josip Broz Tito condemned the Cuban view of "a natural alliance" between the nonaligned movement and the communist bloc underlining that the movement "is not, and cannot be, either a conveyor belt or the reserve of any bloc". The trip to the NAM conference in Havana was the last international trip of the President of Yugoslavia which contributed to the worsening of his health condition and his death in 1980. At the time, repudiation of the "natural alliance" led by Yugoslavia was perceived as a success having positive effects on the United States–Yugoslavia relations. Cuba at the same time believed that Yugoslavia as a "relatively small, comparatively developed, white, European and Northern" country does not deserve such a prominent place in the movement, yet the effort to marginalize it at the summit was unsuccessful. President of Tanzania Julius Nyerere responded directly to some of the accusations underlining the original NAM principles and stating that while the movement itself is a progressive movement it is not a grouping only of and for progressive countries. He also refused the idea that the movement can have permanent enemies. President Nyerere strongly rejected requests by some to delete statements by Egyptian delegation. The post-Francoist Spain took part as a guest of the summit for the first time ever.

Qurumushi or Qurmushi was an Ilkhanate commander of Keraite origin who served as Mongol viceroy of Georgia. Early life He was from Tongqayit clan of Keraite tribe who migrated from Mongolia accompanying Hulagu's army. His grandfather Tügür was Hulagu's scribe, member of keshig and a commander, while his great-grandfather Quyidu served Genghis Khan and Ong Khan. His father Alinaq served Ahmad Tekuder as his commander-in-chief and was as well as his son-in-law. He had two brothers as well. Qurumushi was a member of force tasked by Tekuder with severing the connection between princes Arghun and Qonqurtay in 1284. He served as a messenger to his father on 1 May 1284 when Tekuder asked Alinaq to prepare for fight against pro-Arghun forces. However, they prevailed and Alinaq was executed on 4 July 1284 by Arghun. Under Arghun After his father's execution Qurumushi inherited Alinaq's domains in modern Javakheti, his mingghan and his wife Kuchuk Khatun in levirate. He was tasked by Arghun with overseeing Vakhtang II of Georgia after Demetre II's execution in 1289. Under Ghazan Qurumushi changed his sides frequently over rapid successions of Gaykhatu, Baydu and Ghazan and ended up with choosing the victorious side. Qurumushi captured Baydu in Nakhchivan, 1295 after pursuing him with 4,000 strong army. After the battle, a rebellious pro-Baydu emir Tuqal fled to David VIII of Georgia in 1295. Campaign came to an end when Beka I Jaqeli captured Tuqal and handed him over to Qurumushi. Ghazan continued purging of rival princes and emirs later on and sent Qurumushi and Chupan against another Borjigid prince, Arslan who was captured by Ghazan previously and pardoned, revolted in Bilasuvar in 1296. After a series of battles near Baylaqan he too was captured and executed, along with the rebellious emirs on 29 March. Around 1299 Ghazan became suspicious of the reports that David VIII and Toqta Khan of Golden Horde were preparing for an alliance. As a result, Ghazan ordered David VIII to arrive to his capital Tabriz. David refused to comply and Ghazan Khan responded with a punitive expedition under Qurumushi, Alinji and Shahinshah. Supported by the Mongols, Ossetes attacked Shida Kartli province and occupied the Liakhvi River gorge. David entrenched himself in the Mtiuleti mountains while Qurumushi installed George V as his successor. Qurumushi was among the leading emirs in Mamluk-Ilkhanid War. He fought in Battle of Wadi al-Khaznadar as the commander of the 3rd contingent in right, after Ghazan himself, Elbasmish and Chichak noyans. Revolt After Qutluqshah's death in Gilan, 1307, Chupan suddenly rose to be supreme commander of Ilkhanate forces and later de facto ruler of Ilkhanate during Abu Sa'id's reign. Abu Sa'id kept him in Georgia as viceroy. However, Abu Sa'id caught off-guard when both Öz Beg Khan and Yasa'ur invaded Ilkhanate in Golden Horde-Chagatai alliance, 1319. Chupan summoned his subordinate emirs, including Qurumshi and catched up to Abu Sa'id and defeated the Ozbeg on the shores of Kura river. Chupan decided to punish the emirs who didn't came to the summoning. Qurumushi himself was sentenced to 100 blows by Chupan, which was insulting to him. It was when Qurumushi started to conspire a revolt. When Abu Sa'id left for his capital Qurumushi attacked his camp led by Toqmaq noyan, forced him to change sides. Chupan himself fled to his son Hasan, who aided him with 500 men. Chupan's forces were crushed by Qurumushi's 20,000 men near Lake Sevan, Chupan himself got away wounded. Later Safavid authors claimed this was due to 'miraculous intercession' of Safi al-Din Safawi. Qurumushi captured Nakhchivan after the battle and started an alliance with fellow Kerait emir Irinjin. Apart being both Keraites, Qurumushi and Irinjin were both related to ilkhan Tekuder by marriage. Irinjin was already disgruntled by Chupan's dismissal of him from Anatolian viceroyalty, therefore he gladly agreed. While Abu Sa'id was gathering his forces in Soltaniyeh, Qurumshi and Irinjin besieged Tabriz, forcing its inhabitants to pay 70,000 dinars and give them provisions. Rebels lated captured Sarab, Miyaneh and Zanjan. Abu Sa'id's army were commanded by Taz, son of Kitbuqa and Mamluk renegade Qara Sonqur. The sides fought a battle on 13 July 1319 in which Irinjin and Qurumushi were beaten. Qurumushi fled but captured by Khaja Badr al-Din Lu'lu' near the river Kur and sent to Soltaniyeh. Trial and death During trial Qurumushi said that the rebellion was in fact against Chupan and was authorized by Abu Sa'id himself who sent him two envoys - Yusuf Böke and Harza Muhammad of Suldus. Envoys confirmed Qurumushi's testimony but the ilkhan denied and ordered Chupan to execute them. Irinjin in his defence showed a yarligh given to him by the ilkhan, authorizing him to act against Chupan; a document with Abu Sa'id denied again. Qurumushi was executed on seventh day of executions with nails stuck into him and shot in the chest with arrows. His body was later burned. Viceroyalty of Georgia was given to Taz, son of Kitbuqa. Family He had at least two wives: Kuchuk Khatun, daughter of Tekuder Qutlugh Malik Khatun (d. 1338), daughter of Gaykhatu He had at least two sons, who fled to Golden Horde after their father's defeat. One of them, Abd al-Rahman became tümen commander under Oz Beg Khan. However, al-Wassaf states they were apprehended by Sutay and killed as well.

The single-unit railbus (numbered "52") was about to reach Comodoro Rivadavia when it took a sharp curve, known in the neighborhood as the "sulfa", where the sheds of the Sagosa company stands nowadays. The high speed (80 km/h) of the train, the exceeded number of passengers (there were 100 people when the maximum capacity of the coaches were 48), and the 750 mm narrow gauge's insability caused the railcar derailed, falling from a 40-meters hillside in a zone known as playa 99, a beach resort in Punta Piedras. The coach was completely destroyed almost completely while its passengers were expelled from it or were smashed by the train. An emergency operation was inmmediately set up to help the victims. Due to the low populated region, doctors and nurses were sent from Buenos Aires in a sanitary train to assist the multiple injured. Injured people were carried to Comodoro Rivadavia and Astra Hospitals and Napolitani Sanatorium. Although the initial number of dead were 23, it then increased to 36 and 65 injured. The number of deaths would continue to grow due to another accident in the rescue operative, when the crane fell off while raising the train, resulting in more fatal victims. The verticality of the slope where the train fell was an additional challenge for the rescuee team. Aftermath After the accident, the branch to Rada Tilly was closed definitively. Nevertheless, it would not be the last accident in the Comodoro Rivadavia Railway so in 1960, a break failure caused a train collision in General Mosconi with 3 people dead. The CRR came to a definitive end in January 1978 when the last train arrived in Comodoro Rivadavia. One year before, the military government led by Jorge Videla had promulgated a decree that closed a high number of rail services in Argentina due to their low profitability, being the CRR one of the several lines affected. A new decree promulgated in 1993 under the Carlos Menem's administration, ratified the closure.

Manuel Saturio Valencia Mena (December 24, 1867 – May 7, 1907) was a Colombian intellectual, lawyer and popular leader who was the last person to be legally executed in Colombia. Early life Manuel Saturio Valencia Mena was born on December 24, 1867, in Quibdó, the only son of domestic workers Manuel Saturio Valencia and Tránsito Mena. In his youth, he sang in the city's parish choir, and learned Latin and French from some Capuchin monks. Valencia was considered an outstanding student, so much so that the monks themselves later took charge of his higher studies - he was thus the first Afro-Colombian man admitted to the University of Cauca, where he studied law. When he returned to Quibdó, he aligned himself with the Conservative Party, a minority party in the region. In 1899, when the Thousand Days' War began, Valencia reached the rank of Captain in the government forces. He was self-taught, and worked as a music and singing teacher in several schools; as a judge and municipal ombudsman, and was the first black literary figure in the region. However, due to racial oppression at the time, most of his works remained unpublished. Valencia had an affair with a young white woman named Deyanira Torrijos Baldrich, the daughter of an important Liberal leader, who later became pregnant with his child. Torrijos' family, wanting to take revenge on him, got Valencia drunk on wine in May 1907, then took his documents and some of her clothes and went to the Carrera Primera in Quibdó. There, they set fire to two houses with thatched roofs, then left. In the aftermath of the fire, an almost burned rag ball, Valencia's belt and some documents containing his name were found among the ashes. In accordance with laws from the Constitution of 1886, he was charged with arson. Trial and execution The trial was very brief, lasting only six days between the facts and the conviction, a record in applicating justice in the country. Valencia was accused of having set the fire at Carrera Primera, a neighborhood inhabited predominantly by white Colombians. He was eventually found guilty, sentenced to death and summarily executed via firing squad on May 7, 1907. Valencia became the last person to be judicially executed in Colombia, as well as an icon and martyr for the movement against white oppression in the country. Some writers have been criticized for overexaggerating several aspects of his life story, including the level of oppression experienced by blacks in contemporary Colombia and the "mythologizing" Valencia as a martyr.

SoundDance is a two-disc live album by pianist Muhal Richard Abrams. It was recorded at AACM concerts in New York City in October 2009 and September 2010, and released by Pi Recordings in 2011. The album was issued in celebration of Abrams's 80th birthday, and features two fully-improvised sets. The first set, recorded in 2009, pairs Abrams with saxophonist Fred Anderson, and is their first recording together despite their having known each other for over fifty years. (Anderson died in 2010; this may be his last recording.) The second set, recorded in 2010, pairs Abrams with George Lewis, who is heard on trombone and laptop. When asked about his role in the recording, Lewis stated that he spent time preparing sound files, but noted: "of course one cannot and should not attempt to account for every contingency in a performance of improvised music, since to eliminate those would be to destroy a large part of the sound; in other words, the contingencies, thinking, puzzles, blockages, conundrums, paradoxes and breakthroughs are embedded in the sound that audience and performers encounter at about the same moment. As I hear it, notes, timbres, melodies, durations, and the rest are carriers for a more complex symbolic signal that includes these higher-level elements that we all experience each day of our lives. Once musicians, critics, and audiences learn to understand this higher signal, the pleasures that result will allow listening to improvised music to be understood as a most elementally human form of interaction." Reception In a review for AllMusic, Sean Westergaard wrote the following regarding the Abrams/Anderson duos: "The fact that Anderson almost always played with a rhythm section (certainly a drummer at least), and almost never played with piano, makes this a particularly interesting set. Here, Abrams and Anderson are equals: grabbing ideas from each other and transforming them along the way. Their mastery of space and dynamics makes for a brilliant conversation over the course of nearly 40 minutes. Both men were about eighty years old at the time of recording, and both were at the absolute peak of their powers. It's some of the most melodic free improvisation you will ever hear, and a truly breathtaking and amazing piece of music." Concerning the Abrams/Lewis tracks, he commented: "Muhal plays a more dominant role here as there isn't a whole lot of melodic content in the electronics. They play more of a textural role that Abrams reacts to rather than a true conversation as with Anderson.... It's really fascinating to hear how Muhal responds in this setting, proving once again he's one of the finest improvisers on the planet." Westergaard concluded: "This is the Old Guard of Chicago jazz and AACM ideals at their best. SoundDance is unqualified genius." Writer Gene Seymour stated: "Both Abrams and Anderson seem energized by the task of extending or enhancing each other's thoughts and even listeners resistant to free-form improvisation won't miss a beat." Regarding the disc featuring Lewis, he remarked: "These two masters of orchestration create intricate, spiraling patterns that are at once imposing and puckish. You can wander in and out of their gallery of sound and find something strange, shiny and, in a peculiar way, companionable." In a review for Jazz Times, Lloyd Sachs commented: "SoundDance is a momentous release... For all they signify, the two live, improvised sets on SoundDance are full of disarming invention and low-key charm."

Jaish al-Ta'ifa al-Mansurah () was an Iraqi Salafi insurgent group that fought against US troops and their local allies during the Iraq War. In 2006 the group aligned itself with al-Qaeda and helped establish the Mujahideen Shura Council. History The group was founded by Sheikh Abu Umar al-Ansari, but exactly when is uncertain. In May 2004, Jaish al-Taif al-Mansour kidnapped Interenergoservice workers Alexander Gordienko and Andrei Meshcherakov and demanded the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq. This group gained notoriety on August 31, 2005, thanks to the mortar shelling near the Al-Aim Bridge over the Tigris River, across which a Shia procession marched to the tomb of Imam Musa al-Kazim. As a result of the bombing, 7 people were killed and 35 injured, and the crush on the bridge estimated that between 953 and 1,033 people were killed and between 322 and 815 injured. On January 15, 2006, an organization known as the Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq announced its establishment. Jaish al-Ta'ifa al-Mansurah has been declared one of its constituent groups, along with al-Qaeda in Iraq, the Monotheism Brigades, the Sarai al-Jihad group, the al-Ghurab Brigades and the al-Ahwal Brigades.

Randa Abd Al-Aziz (Arabic: رندا عبد العزيز; born c. 1996) is an Iraqi journalist and news anchor. She is the first Afro-Iraqi to feature on the country's state media channels, and since September 2021 has co-hosted the news for Al Iraqiya. Early life Al-Aziz grew up in a middle class family in Baghdad; her father was a businessman while her mother owned a stationary shop. Al-Aziz went on to obtain a degree in Agricultural Economics and work for an import distribution business prior to her becoming a journalist. Journalism career Al-Aziz was scouted as a news anchor while at a café in Baghdad where she was overheard reading from a pamphlet in Classical Arabic, the language used by news anchors in Iraq. After being scouted, she trained for 6 months, including lessons on voice and language, and studies into Iraqi national and local politics. Al-Aziz's hiring was part of an effort by the Iraqi Media Network's president, Nabil Jasim, to make the organisation be more reflective of Iraqi society; there are an estimated 1.5 million Afro-Iraqis in the country. Al-Aziz's hiring caused some controversy, including among producers within the Iraqi Media Network; she was first Afro-Iraqi to be hired since Al Iraqiya's creation in 2003; while records are unavailable, it is also believed that no Afro-Iraqi held any prominent journalism roles during the regime of Saddam Hussein. Al-Aziz made her début as a news anchor for Iraqiya TV in September 2020. She has stated hoping that she can demonstrate to other Black Iraqis that "the colour of our skin will not stop us". Al-Aziz has named the French-Lebanese journalist Randa Habib and the Algerian journalist Khadija Benguenna as among her inspirations, in addition to Radio Monte Carlo and the BBC.

Sir Walter de la Haye (died after 1309) was an English-born statesman and judge in Ireland of the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, who served briefly as Justiciar of Ireland. He was held in high regard by the English Crown. He became a substantial landowner in two counties, but his descendants seem to have died out quickly. He first appeared in Ireland in 1271 as an attorney acting for the justices of the English Royal Courts, and later acted as custodian of the Archdiocese of Dublin. He became High Sheriff of County Waterford in 1272 and served in that office until 1284, receiving several official commendations for his diligence. He was invited to attend the coronation of King Edward I in 1274. He became Constable of Dungarvan Castle and also Constable of King John's Castle, Limerick. He became a landed proprietor in Ireland when he was granted the manor and castle of Kilmeadan, County Waterford by the Justiciar, Robert d'Ufford, in 1285. He was made custodian of the city of Waterford, in return for an annual payment to the Crown. He also acquired an estate at Knocktopher, County Kilkenny in the early 1280s, by marriage to a widow of the Le Bret family. He became Chief Escheator of Ireland in 1285 with special authority to negotiate with the Gaelic clans within his bailiwick. Charged with corruption His landed interests in Counties Waterford and Kilkenny, and his increasingly central role in Government, led to a clash with the le Poer family, whose power in both counties was growing histeadily. The conflict led him to imprison Robert le Poer. It may have been the le Poers, aided by the Bishop of Emly, William de Clifford, who brought charges of corruption and oppression against Haye in his office of Escheator. These were linked to similar and possibly better founded charges against the Treasurer of Ireland, Nicholas de Clere (or Nicholas le Clerk), who had also quarelled with the bishop. Haye went to England in 1290 to answer the charges against him and was completely exonerated. King Edward made clear his high regard for Haye, and his belief that Haye as Escheator had acted in the best interests of the Crown, although he later tactfully suggested that Haye should spend less time sending lengthy and time-consuming reports about Irish affairs back to England. The unfortunate Nicholas de Clere, on the other hand, was arrested on similar charges of corruption, and apparently died in prison, having failed to have prove his innocence to the King's satisfaction. Haye, despite his high standing at Court, made all the familiar complaints of civil servants in that era, of his salary being in arrears, and of the difficulty in compiling his accounts. Justiciar He acted as an itinerant justice regularly from 1278 onwards, and was a justice of the Court of the Justiciar from 1294 to 1298. In 1293 he sat on a commission to inquire into allegations of wrongdoing against the Justiciar, William de Vesci, and presided at the meeting of the Privy Council of Ireland where John FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Kildare, made accusations against de Vesci which were considered serious enough to be referred to Westminster. He was Justiciar in 1294 following de Vesci's removal, and acting Justiciar in 1295–6. During his brief tenure as Justiciar, he carried out a purge of dishonest Crown servants in Limerick, particularly those who has held office as Serjeant. Ball notes that Haye was inclined to clemency and compromise on this occasion: eight of those charged were acquitted, and only one was hanged. He attended the 1297 session of the Parliament of Ireland as representative for Kilkenny. He was still acting as a justice itinerant in 1306. In 1308 he asked to be relieved of all his official duties on account of failing eyesight. He was still alive in the early spring of the following year, when he sold his lands at Knocktopher to Nigel le Brun and his wife Amicia. He would no doubt have been disappointed to know that after his death his enemies the le Poers quickly acquired Kilmeadan Castle, where they remained until they were expelled by Cromwellian forces in about 1650. Family He married Alice le Bret of Knocktopher, widow of Milo le Bret, she had an interest in the Knocktopher estate as her dower gift. They had two sons and a daughter. His son William was High Sheriff of County Waterford in his turn; his younger son Roger was a priest who was presented to the living of Kilmeadan church by King Edward, and also acted as his father's Deputy as Escheator. His daughter married a man of bad character, against whom serious crimes including rape and kidnapping were alleged. The family seems to have died out in a generation or two. Edmund le Bret who surrendered his interest in the family lands at Knocktopher, County Kilkenny in the 1290s to Haye was his stepson, Alice's son by her previous marriage to Milo le Bret.
