Benjamin Franklin Montoya (24 May 1935 – 19 December 2015) was a United States Navy rear admiral. He served as commanding officer of Naval Facilities Engineering Command from 1987 to 1989. Montoya was the first Hispanic chief of naval civil engineers. Early life and education Born in Indio, California and raised in La Quinta, California, Montoya was a 1953 graduate of Coachella Valley High School. He was a football quarterback, baseball pitcher and tennis player. Montoya next attended the California Polytechnic Institute for one year before being appointed to the United States Naval Academy. While there, he pitched for the baseball team and served as team captain during his final year. Montoya graduated with a B.S. degree in June 1958 and was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps. Montoya earned a second bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in June 1960. He later received an M.S. degree in sanitary engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in June 1968 and a J.D. degree from the Georgetown University Law School in June 1980. Military career In 1960, Montoya was assigned as resident engineer at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard. Montoya later served two tours in Vietnam, supervising Seabee construction of the first base camp in Da Nang and later of the Marine base at Chu Lai. In 1974, Montoya became director of the Navy Environmental Quality Division in Washington, D.C.. In 1981, he became commanding officer of the Navy Public Works Center in San Diego, California. In 1984, Montoya assumed leadership of the Western Division Engineering Command in San Bruno, California. His promotion to commodore was approved by the United States Senate on 16 October 1985. In 1986, Montoya was appointed director of the Shore Activities Division under the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Logistics in Washington, D.C. Approved for promotion to rear admiral on 15 May 1987, he then became commanding officer of Naval Facilities Engineering Command and chief of the Civil Engineer Corps. Montoya retired from active duty in November 1989. Later life From 1993 to 2000, Montoya served as chief executive officer of the Public Service Company of New Mexico. In November 1994, President Bill Clinton appointed Montoya to the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Naval Academy. He served as chairman of the board for two years. On 8 February 1995, President Clinton nominated Montoya to be a Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commissioner. In September 2006, he was appointed to the Space Operations Committee of the NASA Advisory Council. Montoya was diagnosed with cancer in 2013. After his death in December 2015, he was interred with full military honors at Coachella Valley Cemetery on 6 January 2016. Awards His military awards include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, two awards of the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" and the Meritorious Service Medal. Montoya was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering in 2001 and the National Academy of Construction in 2006.

Alko Hiti, also known as Alkwo Hiti, Aluko Hiti or Alok Hiti is a 15th-century dhunge dhara (drinking fountain) in the city of Patan, Nepal. Thanks to the active involvement of the people who rely on this dhunge dhara for their drinking water, Alko Hiti has remained operational from the time it was built to the present day. History Alko Hiti was built in 1415 AD by Tumha Dev Bajracharya, a famous Tantric Buddhist and healer, next to the north-western gate of the old city of Patan. Tumha Dev Bajracharya also established some regulations to ensure its proper use and maintenance. Some parts of the dhunge dhara were never to be touched and the surrounding area had to be kept clean. Soap, wastewater, honey or litter should not be thrown there. Furthermore, menstruating women and people from low castes were not allowed entry and it was forbidden to wear leather shoes. Maintenance was in the hands of a guthi and the yield of a stretch of land, reserved especially for the purpose, provided the funds. In the early sixties major maintenance took place. This not only concerned the hiti itself, but also its surroundings. Routine maintenance is still done every year during Naga Panchami and Sithi Nakha. According to local residents, maintenance of the drains used to be left to fish, toads and snakes living in the drainage pit. The fish would eat the moss growing in the pit, keeping it from getting clogged, the toads would eat the fish and the snakes would eat the toads, while sliding through the drainage channel. Architecture Courtyard Alko Hiti can be found in a rectangular courtyard, a few steps down from street level, where three sides are bounded by brick walls and the fourth, north-western side by a shelter, which is part pati (left, with one floor) and part sattal (right, with two floors), and the entrance to the courtyard. In the eastern corner of the courtyard there is a Ganesha temple. Basin The basin (or hitigah) of the hiti is a rectangle of by and about deep. The main, north facing, staircase has six steps. The basin is surrounded by a brick parapet on three sides. On the fourth side, there is a row of five chaityas between two short stretches of railing and a smaller staircase, flanked by a shrine. In the northern corner of the basin there is a disused tutedhara (overflow reservoir). Spouts Alko Hiti has five spouts: three makara (hitimanga) spouts facing south and two smaller, lower spouts facing west and north respectively. The north facting spout also has the shape of a makara. Contrary to what can be seen in the majority of dhunge dharas, there is no sculpture of Bhagiratha beneath any of the spouts. Votive sculptures Most of the votive sculptures in and around Alko Hiti are Buddhist, but there are some Hindu sculptures as well. This combination Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, for instance a chaitya next to a lingam, can be found in many dhunge dharas of Nepal. Above the middle of the three makara spouts there is a niche with a sculpture of Buddha Dharma-Chakra. The makara spout on the left has a Lakshmi Narayan sculpture in its niche, with a Buddha statue in front of it. The spout on the right carries a Visnu sculpture as well as a Buddha. Apart from the five chaityas on the edge of the basin, there is another larger chaitya on the bottom. The north-western wall of the hiti basin is dominated by a lifesize statue of a seated Buddha. The shrine next to the eastern stairs contains a linga. Finally, there is a small shikhara temple, dedicated to Padmapāṇi. There is also a number of votive sculptures built into the brick walls of the courtyard. Modern additions Since the beginning of the 21st century several elements have been added to Alko Hiti, like a water tower, underground pipes, rainwater recharge pits and ponds. The water Sources The five spouts of Alko Hiti give water from three different sources. The two makara spouts on the left are fed by an intake located at around 15 metres north-east of the basin. The makara spout on the right is the most productive. The Ganesha temple next to Alko Hiti is believed to have been built above the source to protect it. The two lower spouts are fed by an aquifer to the south of the hiti. The water is transported from the sources to the spouts through wooden underground channels (hitidun). Production In 1998, Alko Hiti produced between 267494 and 361152 litres of water per day. In 2014, the average discharge of water from Alko Hiti was 499402.1 litres of water per day. For 2015, an average daily flow of 683105 litres was measured. Distribution system Since 2004, a distribution system has been put in place by the Aalok Hiti Conservation and Water Supply Users’ Committee (AHCWSUC). For several hours every day, water from the makara spouts is pumped up to a water tower next to the entrance of the courtyard. From there, it is transported to the homes of some 250 households in the area. For one hour a day they can fill their containers to a total of 250 to 300 litres of water. For the service an entrance fee must be paid, along with a modest monthly fee. During the rest of the day Alko Hiti is available to the other users. Since this scheme was shown to be successful, it has been copied by other neighborhoods using their own water sources. Challenges Protecting the sources The main challenge to the water supply of Alko Hiti is protection of the sources. This requires constant vigilance and the willingness to take action. A clear example of this has become known as the "Bone mill incident", which took place in the year 2000. The water from two of the five spouts had gotten a strange color and a bad smell. Some of the people who used it had to be taken to a hospital. The problem turned out to be caused by a bone processing plant to the south of the hiti. Water from the factory seeped into the aquifer and eventually came out of the spouts. Only after media attention, prolonged action (like speaking to the municipality, demonstrations and picketing), were the industrial activities at the mill discontinued. During the sixties maintenance, two houses had to be removed from the intake area in the north-east. Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear who owns the land and would be responsible for anything built there. Agricultural activities have to be monitored constantly, because any deep rooting vegetation, irrigation or fertilization directly affects the aquifers. Volunteerism Another challenge is the fact that all the work has to be done by volunteers. Volunteers accomplished a lot so far, but some form of payment will be needed in the long run. This was true in the 15th century, and it still is true today.

On January 8th and 9th, 2019, one of the largest general strikes in workers' history took place in India with almost 200 million striking people. Ten Indian union federations had called for the nationwide strike. The call for strikes led to strong participation, both in the various sectors of the public service and in privately organized industry and the informal sector. The trade union federations had agreed on a catalog of 12 demands and wanted, among other things, to prevent anti-union legislation from the Modi government that was about to be passed. The strikers also demanded a minimum wage and pension for people in India, and a 12-month limit on contract work. The governments of various Indian states, e.g. from West Bengal and Tamil Nadu threatened the strikers with countermeasures. The following 2020 Indian general strike that was held across India on 26 November 2020 was even larger. The trade union federations INTUC, AITUC, Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), CITU, All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC), TUCC, Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), AICCTU, Labour Progressive Federation (LPF) and UTUC had called for the strike. Only the RSS union, which belongs to the right-wing Hindu Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, did not take part.

"" (A song of thanks be to the Lord) is a Christian hymn with German text written by Guido Maria Dreves in 1886, and a melody written by Josef Venantius von Wöß in 1928. It is a song of thanks and praise of God who protects the persons he created. The song appeared as part of the Catholic Gotteslob. Background and history Guido Maria Dreves was a Jesuit who researched the history of Latin hymns and published bibliographies of them in several volumes. He also wrote the text of hymns, including "" in seven stanzas in 1886. Josef V. von Wöss was an Austrian composer based in Vienna who supported the Cecilian Movement. He composed the melody and a four-part setting. Five of the stanzas were included in the common Catholic German hymnal Gotteslob as GL 382. The hymn is also part of other songbooks. Theme and text The text was originally in seven stanzas of seven lines each, rhyming ABABCDD. The song expresses thanks to God. In the first stanza, the focus is on his unlimited ("ganz ohne Maß") goodwill ("Huld") and merciful patience ("allbarmherzige Geduld"). In the second stanza, the singer talks to his soul, requesting to praise God day and night, as in some psalms, such as Psalm 103. The third stanza deals with God as the Creator. The fourth stanza reasons that all sorrows can be dismissed knowing that God knows a person's name, written in his hand. The final line repeats to trust in God's protection, being sure that he has good intentions for every person ("und sei gewiss, er meint es gut.) Melody and music The melody is in C major and common time. It uses the range of an octave, and reminds of an anthem in a festive mood. Text and music of the last three lines of each stanza are repeated. Usage The hymn is used when thanks to God are expressed, such as in a service with Pope Benedict XVI at the Würzburg Cathedral on 28 February 2013.

The nuclear protein in testis gene (i.e. NUTM1 gene) encodes (i.e. directs the synthesis of) a 1,132-amino acid protein termed NUT that is expressed almost exclusively in the testes, ovaries, and ciliary ganglion (i.e. a parasympathetic ganglion of nerve cells located just behind the eye). NUT protein facilitates the acetylation of chromatin (i.e. DNA-protein bundles) by histone acetyltransferase EP300 in testicular spermatids (cells that mature into sperms). This acetylation is a form of chromatin remodeling which compacts spermatid chromatin, a critical step required for the normal conduct of spermatogenesis, i.e. the maturation of spermatids into sperm. Male mice that lacked the mouse Nutm1 gene using a gene knockout method had abnormally small testes, lacked sperm in their cauda epididymis (i.e. tail of the epididymis which contains sperm in fertile male mice), and were completely sterile. These findings indicate that Nutm1 gene is essential for the development of normal fertility in male mice and suggest that the NUTM1 gene may play a similar role in men. The NUTM1 gene is located in band 14 on the long (or "q") arm of chromosome 15. In the early 1990's, this gene was implicated in the development of certain epithelial cell cancers that: a) occurred in the midline structures of young people, b) were rapidly fatal, and c) consisted of poorly differentiated (i.e. not resembling any particular cell type), immature-appearing cells containing a BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene. BRD4 is the bromodomain-containing protein 4 gene. A fusion gene is an abnormal gene consisting of parts from two different genes that form as a result of a large scale gene mutation such as a chromosomal translocation, interstitial deletion, or inversion. The BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene is a translocation that encodes a fusion protein that has merged most of the protein coding region of the NUTM1 gene with a large part of the BRD4 gene located in band 13 on the short (i.e. "q") arm of chromosome 19. This translocation is notated as t(15;19)(q13, p13.1). BRD4 protein recognizes acetylated lysine residues on proteins and by doing so participates in the regulation of DNA replication, DNA transcription, and thereby key cellular processes involved in the development of neoplasms (i.e. malignant or benign tissue growths). The product of the BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene, BRD4-NUT protein, stimulates the expression of at least 4 relevant genes, MYC, TP63, SOX2, and MYB in cultured cells. All four of these genes are oncogenes, i.e., genes that when overexpressed and/or overly active promote the development of certain types of cancers. Overexpression of the MYC and SOX2 genes can also act to maintain cells in an undifferentiated stem cell-like state similar to the cells in the neoplasms driven by the BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene. It is generally accepted that the BRD4-NUT protein promotes these neoplasms by maintaining their neoplastic cells in a perpetually undifferentiated, proliferative state. Further studies are needed to confirm and expand these views and to determine if any of the overexpressed gene products of the of the BRD4-NUT protein contribute to the development and/or progression, or can serve as targets for the treatment, of the neoplasms associated with the BRD4-NUTM fusion gene. These questions also apply to a wide range of neoplasms that have more recently been associated with the NUTM1 gene fused to other genes. Neoplasms associated with NUTM1 fusion genes NUT carcinoma NUT carcinoma is a rare, highly aggressive malignancy. Initially, it was regarded as occurring in the midline areas of the upper respiratory tract, upper digestive tract, and mediastinum (i.e. central compartment of the thoracic cavity) of young adults and to lesser extents children and infants. It was therefore termed NUT midline granuloma. However, subsequent studies defined these carcinomas based on the presence of a NUT fusion gene in their malignant cells. As so defined, this malignancy occurs in individuals of all ages and, while most commonly developing in the cited respiratory, gastrointestinal, and mediastinal areas, occasionally develops in the salivary glands, pancreas, urinary bladder, retroperitoneum (i.e. space behind the peritoneum of the abdominal cavity), endometrium, kidneys, ovaries, and other organs. Consequently, the name of this disorder was changed form NUT midline carcinoma to NUT carcinoma by the World Health Organization, 2015. NUT carcinomas are characterized histologically as tumors containing primitive epithelioid cells (i.e. derived from activated macrophages and resembling epithelial cells) admixed with foci of keratinization (i.e. tissue areas that are rich in keratin fibers); NUT carcinomas are considered variants of squamous cell carcinomas. Studies have found that ~66 tp 80% of NUT carcinomas harbor a BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene while the remaining NUT carcinomas, sometimes termed NUT variant carcinomas, involve the BRD3-NUTM1 (~10 to 25% of cases) or, rarely, the NSD3-NUTM1, ZNF532-NUTM1,, or ZNF592-NUTM1 fusion gene. It is thought that the latter fusions genes promote NUT carcinomas in manners at least somewhat similar to the BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a blood cancer of malignant B lymphocytes (termed B-cell ALL) or T lymphocytes (termed T-cell ALL) that typically occurs in infants and young children. In a three population-representative cohort study, NUTM1 gene rearrangements (i.e. fusion genes) occurred in 0.28 to 0.86% of pediatric patients with B-cell ALL. Among a total of 71 NUTM1-rearranged cases, 10 fusion partners of NUTM1 were identified: ACIN1-NUTM1 ((24 cases), BRD9-NUTM1 (10 cases), CUX1-NUTM1 (15 cases), ZNF618-NUTM1 (9 cases; ZNF618 is the zinc finger protein 618 gene) fusion genes, and (in 1 to 4 cases each) AFF1-NUTM1, C17orf78-NUTM1 (C17orf78 is also termed ATAD5), CHD4-NUTM1, RUNX1-NUTM1, IKZF1-NUTM1, and SLC12A6-NUTM1 fusion genes. Individuals with these NUTM1 fusion gene-associated leukemias had appreciably better prognoses than those who had NUTM1 fusion gene negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias. It is thought that the cited fusion genes contribute to the development and/or progression of these NUTM1 fusion gene-associated ALL cases but the molecular mechanism(s) for this is unknown. Some HOXA genes, particularly HOXA9, are upregulated in these NUTM1 fusion gene-associated ALL cases as well as in cases of NUTM1 fusion gene-negative ALL. Further studies are required to determine if the overexpression of one or more HOXA genes contributes to NUTM1 fusion gene-associated B-cell ALL. Poroma and porocarcinoma Poroma is a benign, relatively common skin tumor that has the cellular features similar to those of a sweat gland duct. This tumor typically occurs as a solitary stalkless nodule on the soles and palms but may occur in any area where there are sweat glands. Porocarcinoma (also termed eccrine porocarcinoma and malignant eccrine poroma) is an extremely rare malignant counterpart of poromas. It may arise from a longstanding poroma but more commonly appears to develop independently of any precursor poroma. Porocarcinoma tumors predominantly afflict elderly individuals. A study of 104 poroma tumors detected the YAP1-NUTM1 and WWTR1-NUTM1 fusion genes in 21 cases and 1 case, respectively, while the same study of 11 porocarcinoma tumors detected the YAP1-NUTM1 fusion gene in 6 cases. Expression of the NUTM1 (fusion) protein was observed in 25 poroma and 6 porocarcinoma cases but not in a wide range of other skin tumor types. Studies on cultured immortalized human dermal keratinocyte (i.e. HDK) and mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH-3T3 cell lines found that the YAP1-NUTM1 and WWTR1-NUTM1 fusion genes stimulated the anchorage-independent growth of NIH-3T3 cells and activated a transcriptional enhancer factor family member (i.e. TEAD family) reporter gene. The TEAD family in mammals includes four members, TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and TEAD4 that are transcription factors, i.e. proteins that regulate the expression of various genes. TEAD family proteins have been found to promote the development, progression, and/or metastasis of various cancer types and, based on the studies just cited, are thought to do so in poromas and porocarcinomas. However, further studies are needed to confirm this association and determine if TEAD family transcription factors may be useful targets for treating the porocarcinomas. Sarcomas In addition to the NUTM1 fusion genes in the above cited carcinomas, recent studies have found NUTM1 fusion genes in malignancies with undifferentiated spindle cell, round cell, and epithelioid cell-like features which are regarded as sarcomas. Sarcomas with NUTM1 fusion genes typically a) occur in some sites were sarcomas otherwise rarely develop and b) consist of tumor cells that express a NUTM1 gene fused to one of the MADS-box gene family genes (i.e. a MXD4, MGA, or MXD1 gne), or, alternatively, a BRD4, ZNF532, or CIC gene. A recent review listed the follow NUTM1 fusion gene-associated sarcomas: Colorectal sarcomas: Six cases, all with a MXD4-NUTM1 fusion gene. Lung sarcomas: Four cases, one each with a BRD4-NUTM1, MDX4-NUTM1, CIC-NUTM1, or MGA-NUTM1 fusion gene. Kidney sarcomas: Three cases, two with a BRD4-NUTM1 and one with a CIC-NUTM1 fusion gene. Sarcomas of the extremities: Two cases of foot sarcomas, one with a MGA-NUTM1 and one with a X-NUTM1 (i.e. X indicates the fusion partner is not identified) fusion gene; two cases of thigh sarcomas, one with a BRD4-NUTM1 and the other with a MGA-NUTM1 fusion gene; and one case of an arm sarcoma with a BCORL1-NUTM1 fusion gene (BCORL1 is the BCL6 corepressor like 1 gene). Bone sarcomas: One case of mandible sarcoma with a ZNF532-NUTM1 fusion gene and one case each of temporal bone and occipital bone sarcomas (both of which were also in nearby brain tissues) with a CIC-NUTM1 fusion gene. Other sites: One case each of: stomach sarcoma with a MXD1-NUTM1 fusion gene; brain parietal cortex sarcoma with a BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene; brain dura sarcoma with a MGA-NUTM1 fusion gene; sarcoma of the scalp with a CIC-NUTM1 fusion gene; paravertebral sarcoma with a CIC-NUTM1 gene; pleural sarcoma with the MGA-NUTM1 fusion gene; epidural sarcoma with CIC-NUTM1 gene; brain lateral ventricle sarcoma with the CIC-NUTM1 fusion gene; brain parietal cortex sarcoma with a BRD4-NUTM1 fusion gene; and ovary with a MXD4-NUTM1 fusion gene. In general, these NUTM1 fusion gene-associated sarcomas have very poor prognoses and require further study to determine of role of these fusion genes in the development and progression of their corresponding sarcomas.

Luke Pope (1740–1825) was an English nurseryman and florist in the English West Midlands, who founded the firm that became John Pope & Sons. He was associated with the Manor of Smethwick, from whom he rented land and for whom he carried out the duties of constable and bailiff, and had nurseries there and in nearby Handsworth. He specialised in tulips, claiming on his deathbed to have spent more than on them, and later in the shrubs and plants of North America for which his son John's travels in the United States were a source. His grandson, Luke Linnaeus Pope, prepared illustrations of plants from his father's stock as they would appear when they were in bloom. Early life and family Luke Pope was born in the hamlet of Smethwick, Staffordshire, in 1740. One of his sons was Henry Pope, known as Harry Pope, who had his nursery in King's Norton near Birmingham. Henry died in 1891 leaving an estate of £3,014. Another son was John Pope (1772-1850) who was the father of Luke Linnaeus Pope (fl. 1820s), a botanical artist who was partly named after the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus. Another grandson was Alexander Pope who ran the family's Handsworth nursery. Career Pope was variously described as a gardener, a seedsman, and a nurseryman. He specialised in tulips and later in the shrubs and plants of North America. In 1788, he was pictured holding a specimen of Correa speciosa, a plant native to Australia. In 1771, he leased around one acre of common or waste land from the local Lord of the Manor, situated in Ruck of Stones Lane (now Lewisham Road), Smethwick. The lease was of 99 years with the condition that the area be kept fenced and that Pope build a house on the site worth at least £30. In 1781, he bought the freehold. In 1799, the roll of the Manor of Smethwick records his acquisition of a "messuage, land and appurtenances in Smethwick" from Samuell Lewis of Halesowen. He was constable of that manor in 1796, and in 1802 bailiff. His views as a constable on the effect of tithes on the crops planted by local farmers were reported in William Pitt's survey of the agriculture of Staffordshire. In 1809 the Lord of Smethwick enfranchised a piece of copyhold land occupied by Pope for a fee of £75. In 1790, Pope bought land at Gib Heath in Handsworth and it was the nursery he established there, continued after his death by his son John and grandson Alexander as John Pope and Sons, for which the family became well-known in gardening circles. Death and legacy Pope died in 1825. He claimed on his deathbed to have spent over on tulips, the stock having been transferred to Handsworth by the time of his death where customers could inspect illustrations of the plants in bloom prepared by his grandson Luke Linnaeus Pope. Four quarto volumes were known in 1831, but in 1960, Miles Hadfield was not sure if they still existed. Volume III of the illustrations, containing 88 watercolours, was acquired by Birmingham City Archives in 1998. The firm, which also had premises in West Bromwich, specialised in laying-out grounds for planting with fruit and trees bred at Handsworth, but also grew plants in its nursery of botanical and floral interest, particularly from the United States where John Pope had travelled widely. It also supplied material of rare plants for the preparation of illustrations in the books of Benjamin Maund and Jane Loudon. Smethwick contains a Pope Street, and Pope's Bridge which carries Bridge Street over the Birmingham Old Main Line Canal.

Bagayarich (also spelled Bagayarič, Bagarich or Bagarinch) was an ancient locality in the northwestern part of Armenia in the district of Daranali (or Daranałi[k]). The site is located near the village of Cadırkaya (formerly Pekeriç) in Turkey's Erzincan Province, kilometers west of the modern city of Erzurum (ancient Karin). In ancient times, it housed the cult centre of the divinity Mihr (Mithra i.e. Mithras), the god of fire. Name The name of Bagayarich is attested in Greek by the ancient geographer and historian Strabo (died ) as Bagaris and Basgoidariza, and by Ptolemy (died ), likewise in Greek, as Bagarizaka. Geography In ancient times, the locality of Bagayarich was situated on the primary road passing through northern Armenia that linked the town of Sebastaea (present-day Sivas) in the Roman Empire with Ecbatana (present-day Hamadan) in Media through Satala, Bagayarich, Karin (present-day Erzurum) and Artaxata (Artashat). History The locality was known for being the site of the important temple of Mihr (i.e. Mithra, Mithras), that is, one of the eight main pagan shrines of pre-Christian Armenia. It was traditionally held to have been built by King Tigranes the Great (95-56 BC). The site first appears in Armenian historiography in late antique works. Within this context, according to Agathangelos, the temple of Mihr at Bagayarich was destroyed by Gregory the Illuminator. The modern historian Robert H. Hewsen explains that the entire surrounding district of Daranali may have been part of the domain of the aforementioned Mihr temple, as, after it was destroyed during the conversion of Armenia to Christianity, the district of Daranali was turned into the property of the Armenian church. By the 20th century, Bagayarich was composed of two adjoining villages by the name of Verin ("upper") and Nerkin ("lower") Bagayarich, which respectively consisted of 80 and 130 homes. Half of these homes were inhabited by Armenians and the other half by local Muslims. The two villages of Verin and Nerkin Bagayarich together formed the larger village in the caza ("district") of Derjan. At the time, the remains of what may have been the temple as well as an old castle could still be viewed at Bagayarich. Present status The site's main focus in the present day is a conical hill. A simple radio tower is located at the peak of the site including some remnants of rough stone and mortar masonry dating back to the 19th or 20th centuries.

The Minnesota Air National Guard Museum is an aviation museum located at Minneapolis–Saint Paul Joint Air Reserve Station in Fort Snelling, Minnesota. It is dedicated to the history of the Minnesota Air National Guard. History Founded by the 133rd Tactical Air Guard Historical Foundation in four former F-89 hangars and a two-story building, the museum was officially dedicated on 22 July 1984. However, it only opened to the public in April 1987. Following the September 11th attacks, the museum was forced to disassemble its main exhibit gallery and place it in storage. The hangars were used to host F-16s from the 179th Fighter Squadron for five months. After they vacated the building, the museum reopened in 2004. A significant dispute arose in 2007 over the transfer of a Lockheed A-12 from the museum to the George Bush Center for Intelligence in Langley, Virginia. The museum had recovered the aircraft from California in 1990, but it was on loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force. To satisfy the CIA's request, the latter argued that the former did not meet the requirements for museums in its loan program and it was the only available example that did not have a significant connection to its community. The Minnesota Air National Guard Museum countered that A-12s at other museums were better candidates for the transfer. Nevertheless, the aircraft was eventually moved to CIA headquarters. A Bell AH-1S Cobra at the museum was transferred to the U.S. Army Field Artillery Museum at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in March 2019.

1973 Non-Aligned Movement Standing Committee Conference took place on 13-15 May 1973 in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. The country participated in the work of the movement since the 1st Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade in 1961. Afghanistan perceived Non-Alignment as a guaranty of peace in independence in the context in which the country shared a long border both with Soviet Union and CENTO member states. The 1973 meeting was opened by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan Mohammad Musa Shafiq. While serving as a host country, Afghanistan decided to nevertheless play marginal role in the event concerned how its more prominent role may be perceived by major powers. Delegation of Sri Lanka proposed Colombo as the host of the 5th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement which was strongly supported by SFR Yugoslavia. Panama joined the NAM as an observer, while Bangladesh, despite reservations by Pakistan, joined as a full member state. Yugoslavia supported unofficial interest by Australia and North Korea to attend the next meeting with observer status. India, Guyana and SFR Yugoslavia played particularly active role in preparation of the working materials for the following summit in Algeria. Chile proposed inclusion of discussion on measures against global corporate threats and measures to protect sovereign control over natural resources. In July of the same year the host country was faced with 1973 Afghan coup d'état after which the new authorities stated their intention to maintain country's non-aligned position.

Mount Rose is a 4,301-foot-elevation (1,311 meter) mountain summit located in the southeast portion of the Olympic Mountains, in Mason County of Washington state. It is situated in the Mount Skokomish Wilderness, on land managed by Olympic National Forest. The nearest higher neighbor is line parent Copper Mountain, to the north, and Mount Ellinor is to the northeast. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Lake Cushman, and topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 3,600 feet (1,100 m) above the lake in less than one mile. Old-growth forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar grow on the slopes surrounding the peak. In 2006, the Bear Gulch Fire scorched 750 acres of forest on the slopes of Mount Rose from lake level to the summit. Access to the summit is via the 3.2-mile-long Mt. Rose Trail which gains 3,500 feet of elevation. Climate Mount Rose is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in avalanche danger. The months April through October offer the most favorable weather for climbing or viewing the peak. Etymology The mountain's name has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names to commemorate Alfred A. Rose, who was the first settler to the Lake Cushman area in 1885, where he farmed on 150 acres with his wife and three children. He died of smallpox in 1889.

Dominique Robinson is an American football defensive end and outside linebacker for the Miami RedHawks. Early life and high school Robinson grew up in Canton, Ohio and attended and initially attended Timken High School, where he played basketball and was the starting quarterback on the football team. After his sophomore year Timken was closed and merged into Canton McKinley High School. Robinson planned to focus on basketball at McKinley, but he was persuaded to continue playing football by McKinley head football coach Dan Reardon. Robinson was rated a two-star recruit and committed to play college football at Miami University of Ohio, which was his only Division I FBS program to offer him a scholarship. College career Robinson was moved from quarterback to wide receiver during his freshman season after determining he would receive more playing time at a different position. As a sophomore, He caught 13 passes for 156 yards and four touchdowns. Robinson averaged 21.1 yards per catch on 14 receptions for a total of 296 yards during his junior season. Going into his senior year Robinson changed positions again to defensive end after falling down the depth chart at wide receiver. He had two sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss in three games played during Miami's COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. Robinson decided to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic and return to Miami for a fifth season. In 2021, he had 28 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks and was named third team All-Mid-American Conference. Personal life Robinson's father, Anthony Robinson, played college basketball at Bowling Green.

Cain International (formerly Cain Hoy Enterprises) is a privately held real estate investment firm headquartered in London. History Cain International was co-founded by Jonathan Goldstein and Todd Boehly in 2014, with minority backing from Guggenheim Partners. The company was named after the Cain Hoy Stable owned by the Guggenheim family The company's early investments were office developments in the United Kingdom. It later expanded to the United States and Europe, where it invested in hotels, restaurant, housing and entertainment developments. Cain International opened an office in Los Angeles in 2019. The firm was in talks to buy Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in 2014, but later pulled out of negotiations. Cain Hoy entered a joint venture with Galliard Homes in 2015 to develop high rise apartments in Canary Wharf. In 2014, Cain Hoy Enterprises loaned $167 million to SBE Entertainment Group as part of the company's recapitalization. As part of the deal, three principals from Cain Hoy, including Silverman, joined SBE's board of directors. They later stepped down from the board in December 2014. In 2016, Cain Hoy acquired a 25% stake in SBE Entertainment as part of a joint venture to acquire Morgans Hotel Group. Between 2014 and 2016, the firm invested over $1.4 billion in London real estate development, including developments in Mayfair and Shoreditch. Cain Hoy was renamed Cain International in 2017. In 2018, the company purchased a $345 million stake in The Beverly Hilton and Waldorf-Astoria Beverly Hills as part of a joint venture with Israeli hotelier Beny Alagem. In 2021, Cain International and Alagem received approval from the city council to begin construction on a $2 billion development at One Beverly Hills that would include 300 condominiums and a hotel. Cain International and Alagem received $500 million in financing from Goldman Sachs and Aereal Capital for the project. Since 2018, Cain International has developed a number of skyscrapers in Miami, including the Una Residences and 830 Brickell Tower. In April 2021, Cain International and OKO Group, a Miami-based real estate development firm, received a loan from Bank OZK to a construct the Missoni Baia tower in South Brickell, Miami. In December 2020, the company acquired restaurant chain Prezzo. In March 2021, it was reported that Cain Acquisition Corp, the firm's first SPAC, was filing for a $250 million IPO. Cain International closed its first European real estate fund for €324 million in May 2021, with backing from Goldman Sachs and Security Benefit Life Insurance Company. Cain International began developing commercial property in Dublin in July 2021, as a joint venture with Kennedy Wilson.

Ribchester Roman Museum (officially the Ribchester Roman Museum of Roman Antiquities) is located in the village of Ribchester, Lancashire, England. It sits at the southern end of Church Street, near the northern banks of the River Ribble, adjacent to St Wilfrid's Church. Founded in 1915 by Margaret Greenall, a member of Warrington's Greenall's brewing family, it is registered charity number 510490 with the UK Charity Commission. The museum houses many of the finds from Bremetennacum, the Roman fort a few yards away. The most notable find, the Ribchester Helmet, is on show in replica; the original is in the British Museum collection. The museum's former honorary curator, Jim Ridge, had a gallery at the museum named in his honour after his death in 2003. Ridge instigated a Time Team dig in Ribchester in September 1993 after writing to them regarding remnants of the Roman fort being in the back garden of his 2 Church Street cottage.

The Professional E-Hailing Drivers and Private Owners Association (PEPDA) is a trade union federation of ridesharing and other gig transport workers. In Nigeria, these workers primarily work for Uber and Bolt. The federation is affiliated with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria. History PEPDA was founded in August 2020. The immediate reasons for the creation of the federation were confiscations of drivers' vehicles by police in order to gain a negotiating advantage over the transport companies, as well as a sharp rise in inflation. The union criticised the business practices of transport companies and urged them to register with state authorities. In October 2020, PEPDA announced a strike against drivers shouldering the competition between transport companies. The strike was suspended in reaction to the security chaos caused by the End SARS protests, citing fears of police retribution. The union also called for constructive dialogue to solve the problems at the root of the protests. In April 2021, PEPDA conducted a strike against Uber's and Bolt's competitive pricing. The union began a one-week strike on April 19, demanding a reduction of the companies' commission from 25 to 10 percent and consultation in future pricing decisions. On April 20, police arrested five PEPDA-affiliated drivers, including union president Idris Shonuga, in Surulere. Police stated that the drivers were not arrested due to taking part in the strike, but due to blocking a road. PEPDA alleged that transport companies had been involved in the arrest. In May, Uber raised its prices in Nigeria. References Trade unions in Nigeria National federations of trade unions 2020 establishments in Nigeria Trade unions established in 2020
Sir David Hume or Home, of Crossrig, Lord Crossrig (1643 – 1707) was a Scottish judge and diarist. Biography Early life David Hume, second son of Sir James Hume or Home of Blackadder, Berwickshire, created a baronet of Nova Scotia in 1674, by his wife Mary, daughter of Sir James Dundas of Arniston, was born 23 May 1643. He entered the University of Edinburgh in 1657, but having, in accordance with a custom kept up by the students in opposition to the regulations of the university, gone on 11 March of the following year to a football match on the Borough Muir, and having declined to submit to the consequent punishment of whipping in the class, he was expelled from the university. Through the interposition of his relative Sir David Dundas he was again admitted in November 1659, and graduated MA in 1662. After travelling in France in the autumn of 1664 he settled in Paris, where he studied law till the outbreak of hostilities with England compelled him to leave in April 1666. Abandoning his intention of adopting the legal profession, he entered into the wine trade in 1672, and was for a year (1673) also partner in a brewery. On 13 April 1681 he met with an accident which necessitated the amputation of one of his legs. His sympathies being with the Presbyterian party, he was at the time of Argyll's expedition in 1685 arrested on suspicion, but soon after the collapse of the enterprise he was set at liberty. Public office On 3 June 1687 Hume was admitted advocate upon his petition without trial of his qualifications. He represented that he had studied law abroad in company with Lord Reidford, one of the Lords of Session, Sir Patrick Home, and Sir John Lauder, who were prepared "to give testimony regarding his diligence and proficiency in that study". He ingenuously admits in his Domestic Details that his reason for petitioning to be admitted in this fashion was that he considered himself "so rusted in the study of law" that he could not venture to undergo the ordinary examination. Home was among the first judges nominated by King William after the revolution, and one of the four appointed by the Privy Council in October 1689 "to give his attendance for passing bills of suspension and all other bills according to the common form". He took his seat on the bench by the title of Lord Crossrig, on 1 November 1689; on 22 January of the following year was appointed a Lord of the Justiciary, and was shortly afterwards knighted. On 5 January 1700, when the great fire in the meat market, Edinburgh, broke out in the middle of the night in the lodging immediately below his house, he and his family barely escaped with their lives. Duncan Forbes of Culloden in a letter to his father mentions, "among many rueful sights" that were witnessed that night, "Corserig naked with a child under his oxter happing for his lyffe". In November following he presented to Parliament a petition in reference to the loss of his papers in the fire. His petition was remitted to a committee of three, and on their recommendation an act was passed, 31 January 1701, entitled An act for proving the tenor of some writs in favour of Sir David Home of Crossrig. The writs had reference chiefly to the inheritance of his lands of Crossrig. Death and legacy Hume died 13 April 1707. In an elegy printed shortly after his death, and republished in Maidment's Scottish Elegiac Verses, 1843, he is called: Most zealous for the church, kind to the poor, Upright in judgment, in decisions sure. He was the author of a small posthumous volume entitled Advice to a Daughter, Edinburgh, 1771, originally written by him as a letter to his daughter in April 1701. His Diary of the Proceedings in the Parliament and Privy Council of Scotland 21 May 1700–7 March 1707, printed for the Bannatyne Club in 1828, is of considerable interest and value as a record of the deliberations connected with the passing of the Acts of Union. The Domestic Details of Sir David Hume of Crossrig, one of the Senators of the College of Justice, 20 April 1697–29 Jan. 1707, published at Edinburgh in 1843, gives an account of the main circumstances of his life, with incidental references to the customs of bygone times. A portrait of Hume by young Medina, son of Sir John Medina, was at one time in the possession of C. Kirkpatrick Sharpe. Hume was twice married, first to Barbara Weir, relict of William Laurie of Reidcastle, and secondly to the widow of James Smith, merchant, and a granddaughter, not a daughter as sometimes stated, of Sir Alexander Swinton of Swinton. By his first wife he had two daughters, and by his second two sons. Sources Domestic Details of Sir David Hume of Crossrig, 1843; Brunton and Haig's Senators of the College of Justice.

The Chevrolet Turbo-Thrift engine is a straight-six produced from 1962 to 2001 by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. The entire series of engines was commonly called Turbo-Thrift, although the name was first used on the 230 cubic inch version that debuted in 1963. The new engine featured seven main bearings in lieu of the four bearing design of its predecessor, the "Stovebolt" engine, and was considerably smaller and approximately 100 lbs lighter. There were other major differences between the Turbo-Thrift engine and the Stovebolt: Bore spacing matches the Chevrolet small-block V8's 4.4 inches, Stroke of the 194 and 230 engines is the same as the 327 small-block and 348 big-block V8s Wedge-type "closed chamber" cylinder heads with a "squish" area surrounding the combustion chamber cavity, Stamped ball-pivot stud-mounted rocker arms were introduced, similar to the V8, with a 1.75:1 ratio, rather than the earlier shaft-mounted 1.477:1 rockers. The first use of the new engine series was the Hi-Thrift version in the 1962 Chevy II; the following year, Chevrolet passenger cars adopted the version across the range. Studebaker and Checker also began using the engine in 1965. Chevrolet and GMC trucks, which previously used the Stovebolt and GMC V6 engines also switched to using the Turbo-Thrift from 1963 through 1988, as did Pontiac in 1964 and 1965. A inline-4 version of this engine was also offered in the Chevy II/Nova line through the 1970 model year. After several years of steadily declining sales (just 3,900 units in the 1972 model year) the straight six was dropped from Chevrolet's full-sized cars for 1973, the first time the full-sized Chevrolet hadn't been available with a six-cylinder since 1928. However, when the B-body line was downsized in 1977 the engine was reintroduced. Sidenote: the base six cost about US$334 less than a V8, and weighed some less. Overseas, the engine was also mass-produced in Brazil. It was used in the Chevrolet Opala from 1969 (230) to 1992 (250). It was already used in light trucks as the A and Chevrolet Veraneio. The Brazilian version of the GMT400 – the Brazilian Chevrolet Silverado – is powered with a 4.1 instead of the Vortec 4300 V6. Brazilian produced sixes manufactured to the 2001 model year gained multipoint fuel injection, unlike the US-manufactured sixes, which retained the Rochester Monojet one-barrel carburetor. Aftermarket port fuel injection and re-engineered cylinder heads have been the norm although parts for the six e.g. aftermarket intake manifolds (from a three-carburetor setup or a single 4-barrel carburetor), exhaust headers, and/or hybrid cylinder heads based on the small block are costlier than the Small Block Chevrolet, unlike the rival AMC inline six (which has a cult following with Jeep enthusiasts, especially with the 4.0 L). Besides Brazil, the six was also manufactured in Argentina and South Africa. 194 The Hi-Thrift 194 was introduced as the optional engine in the 1962 Chevy II. Bore and stroke are , for a total displacement of . It was also optional in the 1964 G10 Chevy Van -ton vans, and standard in the G10 in 1965 and 1966; it was not available in the C/K10 -ton trucks. The engine produced peak power of (gross) and of torque. The 194 variant ended production in North America after 1967, but remained in use by General Motors' Argentinian subsidiary until the mid-1970s. GM de Argentina also developed a four-cylinder version called the "Chevrolet 110" for their Opel K 180 compact car. 1962–1967 Chevy II 1962–1974 Chevrolet 400 (Argentina) 1962–1967 Acadian (Canada) 1964–1967 Chevrolet Chevelle 1964–1967 Chevrolet El Camino 1965–1966 Studebaker Commander, Daytona ('66 only), Cruiser and Wagonaire (built by McKinnon Industries in Canada) (Circa 1965–66) Holden HD (South Africa) (Circa 1966–67) Holden HR (South Africa) 1966 Beaumont (Canada) 215 Pontiac's (1964–1965) was a smaller bore of version of the Chevrolet straight-6 engine. One oddity is the crankshaft bolt pattern - in lieu of the Chevrolet V8 bolt pattern (also shared with the rest of the third generation six) the Pontiac V8 bolt pattern is used. 230 The Turbo-Thrift 230 (also known as the High Torque 230 in Chevrolet trucks), with displacement, replaced the long-stroke version of the Stovebolt six beginning in 1963. Bore and stroke were . It was also used by Chevrolet and GMC trucks, primarily for the half-tons. It produced a peak at 4,400 rpm and at 1,600 rpm. North American production of this variant ceased in 1970. It was also built in Latin America and was in production in South Africa until at least 1982, where it powered a multitude of different cars. A four-cylinder version of this engine was also built, the Super-Thrift 153. 1963–1965 Chevrolet Biscayne/Bel Air 1963–1965 Chevrolet & GMC pickup trucks 1963–1968 Chevrolet P-10 Step-Van 1963–1965 Pontiac Strato-Chief/Laurentian/Parisienne (Canada) 1964–1965, 1968–1970 Acadian (Canada) 1964–1974 Chevrolet 400 (Argentina) 1964–1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 1964–1970 Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova 1964–1970 Chevrolet El Camino 1965–1968 Checker Marathon 1965–1969 Chevy Van (G-10, G-20) 1966–1969 Beaumont (Canada) 1966 Studebaker Commander, Wagonaire, Daytona and Cruiser (Circa 1966–67) Holden HR (South Africa) 1967–1969 Chevrolet Camaro 1968–1971 Chevrolet Opala (Brazil) 1973-1979 Chevrolet 3800 (South Africa) 1978-1982 Chevrolet Commodore (South Africa) 250 The Turbo-Thrift 250 (also known as High Torque 250 in trucks) version was introduced in 1966, with the same bore as the 230 and a longer stroke for a larger displacement. Between 1975 and 1984, an integrated cylinder head was produced (intake manifold and cylinder head were a single casting with a bolt on exhaust manifold), with one-barrel intakes for passenger cars, and two-barrel intakes for trucks after 1978. The "integrated" cylinder head and intake manifold claimed to have resulted in increased low end torque and fuel economy inclusive of a smoother operation which pre-dated NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). Some pundits . The engine was sold in various states of tune and under several different RPO codes over its production life. The L22 was the passenger car version, sold until 1979. The LD4 was the truck version, sold until 1978. The LE3 replaced the LD4 in 1979 and was produced until 1984. In the late-1970s the Chevrolet 200, Chevrolet 229 and Buick 231 V6 engines gradually replaced the 250 straight six in passenger cars in North America, with use of the engine discontinued after the 1979 model year. The 250 engine continued to be used in GM trucks until 1984, after which it was replaced by the 4.3 L V6 (essentially a Chevy small-block V-8 with the two rear cylinders removed). It was also used in a number of large sedans by Chevrolet of South Africa until 1982. Production continued in Brazil (known as the 4.1 there) until 1998 in passenger cars, when the Chevrolet Omega A was replaced by rebadged Australian Holdens. It was used until 2001 in the Brazilian Chevrolet Silverado, after which the engine line was discontinued. Latter-day Brazilian-produced engines featured electronic multipoint fuel injection, distributorless ignition system and redesigned cylinder heads with smaller intake ports. GM did not produce another straight-six engine in North America until the introduction of the GM Atlas engine in late 2001. 1966–1984 Chevrolet (passenger cars to 1979, trucks/vans to 1984) 1966–1970 Pontiac Strato-Chief (Canada) 1966–1972 Pontiac Laurentian (Canada) 1966–1969, 1977-1979 Pontiac Parisienne (Canada) 1967–1971 Acadian (Canada) 1967–1969 Beaumont (Canada) 1967–1979 Chevrolet Camaro 1968–1974 Chevrolet 400 (Argentina) 1968–1971 Buick Skylark 1968–1969 Buick Special 1968–1972 Oldsmobile F-85 1969–1978 Chevrolet Constantia (South Africa) 1969–1979 Checker Marathon 1970–1976 Pontiac Firebird 1970 Pontiac Tempest 1970–1976 Pontiac LeMans 1970–1974 Puma GTB (Brazil) 1971-????

It took Bob Sharp and Jan Balder, who shared a ride to second place in the "24 Hours of Interlagos" in August of that year in an Opala, to pressure GMB to field a more powerful racing engine. By coincidence, engine development manager Roberto B. Beccardi was working on this engine hop-up project out of his own initiative, but lacked factory support or approval. This impulse came right from these two pilots. Thus, in July 1974, GM started to offer the 250-S engine as an option for the Opala 4100. It was slightly different from the version launched two years later: the project engine was similar to the four-cylinder units, did not get a vibration damper, and used the cooling fan from the standard 2500, with four blades instead of six. The 250-S has and at 2,400 rpm. 1974–1980 Chevrolet Opala SS (Brazil) 1977–1980 Chevrolet Opala Caravan SS (Brazil) 1981–1988 Chevrolet Opala - All Line (Brazil) 1974–1987 Puma GTB (Brazil) 1978–1988 Santa Matilde SM4.1 (Brazil) 292 The High Torque 292 engine, displacing , was used in Chevrolet and GMC trucks beginning in 1963 and Step-Van/Value-Vans beginning in 1964. It was also the standard engine in the Chevy Van/GMC Vandura G20 and G30 from 1975 to 1978. It is differentiated from the 194/230/250 engines by a taller block deck and relocated passenger-side engine mount. Although it had had a larger displacement than its Stovebolt predecessor it was approximately shorter and lower. Flywheel bolt pattern is the same as the six and V8 - with bolts for the flywheel if produced after the 1966 model year. Production of the engine was shifted to Mexico in 1980, and later variants of this engine were marketed as the High Torque 4.8 L and by its RPO code "L25". It retained the separate intake (with a Rochester Monojet carburetor) and exhaust manifolds as used with the short deck motors (194-250). Availability of the 4.8 L engine was slowly curtailed from the late 1970s until production ceased entirely in 1988, and it was replaced by the 4.3 L V6. By 1987 it was only available (outside of California) as an option in -ton and 1-ton R/V-series trucks, and as the base engine in P20 and P30 Step-Vans.

The Jurassic League is an upcoming American comic book published by DC Comics. The six-issue limited series, co-written by Daniel Warren Johnson and Juan Gedeon and illustrated by Gedeon, is scheduled to begin publication on May 10, 2022. Premise The Jurassic League presents a prehistoric version of Earth from an alternate reality where the heroes and villains of DC Comics are anthropomorphic dinosaurs. Production Development According to Daniel Warren Johnson and Juan Gedeon, the authors of The Jurassic League, the series' unusual concept came from their shared interest in classic franchises starring dinosaurs and anthropomorphic creatures, with Johnson commenting: "I dig the Justice League, but I dig them more as dinosaurs". DC Comics Senior Editor Katie Kubert said she was thrilled when Johnson and Gedeon came to her with the idea for the comic book, as Kubert, in her own words, "knew we had something truly special". Design Regarding the redesign of DC characters from humanoid beings to dinosaurs, Gedeon explained: "I wanted each dino to be recognized immediately as the hero they represent. So I tried to pick a dino that captured the essence of their human counterpart to use as base". For example, he and Johnson decided to turn Wonder Woman into a Triceratops, as they considered it to have an "athletic" physique that would fit with Wonder Woman's; in Superman's case, they chose a Brachiosaurus, as it was a herbivore that seemed harmless, but solid and strong at the same time, akin to the hero's image; and for Batman, the duo intended to change him into a "carnivorous dino", and Allosaurus felt right as it had horns that resembled Batman's cowl ears. Another reason for this choice is that using a bigger dinosaur, like Tyrannosaurus, would make Batman look too powerful. Influences In an interview with Polygon via email, Johnson and Gedeon cited several points of inspiration for the series, such as Age of Reptiles, Primal, Primal Rage, Street Sharks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and James Groman's horror-inspired sculptures. The version of the Joker seen in The Jurassic League, who is a Dilophosaurus in this continuity, was modeled after the portrayal of Heath Ledger in the 2008 film The Dark Knight and the Vertigo character from Primal Rage, with Johnson and Gedeon wanting this particular iteration of the Joker to be "crazy, sneaky, colorful, unpredictable, dangerous and cool, but kinda disgusting to some degree". Publication The Jurassic League was co-written by Daniel Warren Johnson and Juan Gedeon, the latter also illustrating it. The limited series was officially announced by DC Comics on February 3, 2022. The six issues of The Jurassic League will be released by DC at monthly intervals, with the first being published on May 10, 2022. Issues Reception Following the announcement of The Jurassic League, the series was met with a highly positive response from the general public, who expressed their approval and enthusiasm for the comic book on social media.

File Szeretvai (; died 17 August 1245) was a Hungarian noble and military leader in the first half of the 13th century, who faithfully served kings Andrew II then Béla IV. He participated in various royal campaigns against the Principality of Halych, which allowed him to rise to the ranks of the upper nobility. He functioned as Master of the stewards from 1231 to 1232. Service in Halych The parentage of File (also Phyle, Füle, Fila or Filja) is unknown. His descendants later possessed landholdings mostly in the northeast part of Upper Hungary, including Szeretva (present-day Stretava, Slovakia), which he acquired during his career and later was named after this village. He may have been of relatively lesser noble origin. His political and social orientation connected entirely to the Hungarian aspirations in the Principality of Halych along the north-eastern border. After Andrew II installed his second son, the minor Coloman the ruler (prince, then king) of Halych (or Galicia) in 1214, File belonged to the entourage of the young monarch. It is possible File was present when Andrew II and Leszek the White, High Duke of Poland in Szepes (today Spiš, Slovakia) in the autumn of 1214, where they arranged the marriage between Coloman and Salomea, and their alliance against regent Vladislav Kormilichich. Representing the Hungarian elite, along with Demetrius Aba and Benedict the Bald, File became one of the outstanding pillars of Coloman's reign in Halych in the subsequent years. To forge closer ties within the "Hungarian party" in Halych, File married an unidentified daughter of Sudislav, a leading Galician boyar who supported Coloman. File and his wife had two sons, Stephen and Nicholas. Stephen was progenitor of the Szeretvai and Ramocsa de Szeretva noble families, a prominent kinship in Ung County until the beginning of the 16th century, but also possessed estates in Pozsony, Trencsén and Nyitra counties. The relationship between Andrew II and Leszek the White had become tense after 1214. The Polish prince granted Volodymyr, which was the most prestigious princely seat in Volhynia, to Danylo and Vasilko Romanovich. He also failed to support Coloman during the siege of Halych. Leszek approached Mstislav Mstislavich, Prince of Novgorod, seeking his assistance against the Hungarians. Mstislav invaded Halych most probably in early 1219, according to historian Márta Font. File led the Hungarian army against the prince, but Mstislav routed his troops with the assistance of Cumans led by his father-in-law Köten. The defeat forced Coloman and his retinue, including File's father-in-law Sudislav, to flee to Hungary. The contemporary Galician–Volhynian Chronicle frequently calls File (Filja) as "gordy" – "proud", "haughty" or "overconfident" –, who constantly disparaged the Galician army. By the summer of 1219, Leszek became hostile with Mstislav and the Romanovich brothers. Mstislav gave his daughter, Anna, in marriage to Danylo who soon occupied the lands between the rivers Wieprz and Bug from the Poles. Leszek reconciled with Andrew II; the two monarchs launched a military campaign jointly against Halych in October 1219. They defeated Mstislav in three battles, forcing him to withdraw and Coloman returned to the principality, while Danylo also surrendered the fortress of Halych. During the campaign, File led the Hungarian contingent, according to Márta Font, and remained in Halych in order to militarily support Coloman's labile rule in the principality, as there is no source for that King Andrew II sent subsequent Hungarian armies to Halych in the upcoming two years. Mstislav hired Cumans and again invaded Halych in late 1220 or early 1221, but could not seize the capital. Mstislav's fiasco encouraged File to join Leszek's campaign against Volhynia, leaving Coloman and Salomea in the newly fortified Church of the Virgin Mary in Halych. Taking advantage of the absence of the bulk of the Hungarian army, Mstislav and the Cumans laid siege Halych in August 1221. File hurried back from his campaign, but Mstislav defeated his army and File was himself captured too on 14 August 1221. He could only flee with the help of a Galician boyar, Žiroslav. Coloman's retainers tried to resist in the fortified church, but the lack of water forced them to surrender. The Polish chronicler, Jan Długosz, wrote that Coloman and Salomea were imprisoned in the fortress of Torchesk. Andrew II and Mstislav negotiated and concluded a peace in late 1221 or early 1222. Mstislav released the Hungarian prisoners, while Coloman, who thus was able to return Hungary, had to relinquish his claim to the throne of Galicia–Volhynia. Social ascension According to historian Attila Zsoldos, it is possible that File Szeretvai is identical with that File (Fila), who served as one of the vice-palatines () under Palatine Nicholas Szák in 1220. Zsoldos draw a social ascension for File, similarly to a fellow vice-palatine Maurice Pok. This File acted as judge in lawsuits in Transdanubian counties. Márta Font, who considered File permanently stayed in Halych between 1219 and 1221, questioned the identification. Despite his military failures in Halych, File did not fall out of the king's favor. He was granted the land Szeleste in Vas County by Andrew II around 1230. He also acquired the village Gyüd, which laid near Tasnád in Szolnok County (present-day Tășnad, Romania). He served as Master of the stewards in the royal court from 1231 to 1232. When Andrew II concluded an agreement with the Holy See in August–September 1233, File was among those barons of the realm, who swore on the document. He was referred to as ispán of Sopron County in 1234. Following his death, a royal charter styled him as "ban". It could be a honorific title, but also possible he held the dignity of Ban of Slavonia or – less likely – Ban of Severin sometime during his life. The Polish chronicler Jan Długosz incorrectly styled him as "palatine" (), and this error has been taken over by some historians thereafter. After Béla IV ascended the Hungarian throne in 1235, File retained his influence in the royal court, unlike several other barons, but there are no sources for additional office positions. During their first invasion in 1241–1242, the Mongols, who advanced from Kievan Rus' broke through the barricades erected in the Verecke Pass (Veretsky Pass, Ukraine), devastated File's estates laid in Northeast Hungary along the border with the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia. File "lost all his property" during the invasion, but managed to survive. As a compensation, Béla IV donated him the lands Biccse and Hoznica in Trencsén County (present-day Bytča and Hvozdnica in Slovakia, respectively). Nevertheless, File concentrated his acquisitions primarily in Ung County. He bought Szeretva for 16 marks from local castle warriors sometime after 1241. It is plausible he acquired the surrounding settlements too – Pályin (Palín, Slovakia), Gejőc (Mali Hejivci, Ukraine) and Pinkóc (Pinkovce, Slovakia) –, which were later mentioned as properties of the Szeretvai family by the end of the 13th century. Following the withdrawal of the Mongols in 1242, Béla IV was seeking to organize a new defensive system by creating client states to the south and east of Hungary. He had given his daughter Anna in marriage to Rostislav Mikhailovich, a claimant to the throne of Halych. Following Rostislav's unsuccessful attack in 1244, Béla supported his son-in-law to invade Halych, ruled by Danylo Romanovich, in the summer of 1245 (earlier historiography incorrectly marked 1249 as the year of the Hungarian campaign). The Hungarian monarch appointed File Szeretvai to lead a huge army consisted of Hungarians and Poles. File is the only known Hungarian military leader, who participated in campaigns against Halych during the reigns of both Andrew II and Béla IV, over a period of twenty-five years. His role may have been motivated by his existing family relationships in Galicia–Volhynia. Rostislav launched an attack against Jarosław north of Przemyśl; on 17 August 1245, Danylo, with Cuman assistance, annihilated the enemy, and Rostislav had to flee again to Hungary. File was killed during the skirmish, along with many Hungarians and Poles. According to the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle, File was captured and executed by Danylo himself. His sons, Stephen and Nicholas were granted his formerly possessed domains in Trencsén County by Béla IV in December 1250.

Altos de San Luis, also known as Monte Altos de San Luis (Spanish for San Luis heights), is an 886 feet (270 m) high and two-mile-long prominent mountain ridge located on the northern edge of the Caguas Valley, in barrio (district) Bairoa of Caguas, Puerto Rico. The ridge is bordered by the Loíza River to the north and the east, and it forms part of a larger system of mountain ridges that extends from the southwestern end of the Sierra de Luquillo in Gurabo to the northeastern end of the Cordillera Central in Aguas Buenas. Other mountains and hills along this system include the Altos de La Mesa and Cerro La Marquesa. These ridges are shaped by the Great Northern Puerto Rico fault zone (GNPRfz), an active fault zone which crosses the island diagonally from southeast to northwest. The forested area on the mountain ridge, known as Finca Longo, is protected by the municipality of Caguas as a critical habitat of the Puerto Rican plain pigeon (Patagioenas inornata wetmorei), locally known as the paloma sabanera, which until the 1970s was on the brink of extinction. This pigeon has been observed to nest, roost and feed on the habitat created by the secondary forest found here.

is a Japanese playwright, screenwriter, and director. Remembered as one of the founding figures of the Angura ("underground") theatre movement in Japan, Fukuda also served as chairmain of the Japan Directors Association from 2003 to 2007. Early life Yoshiyuki Fukuda was born Taizō Kōnosu in the Nihonbashi district of Tokyo on October 21, 1931. After graduating from Azabu High School, he enrolled at the University of Tokyo where he graduated with a degree in French literature in 1954. While still in school, he co-wrote a play with playwright Asaya Fujita and staged it at the 1953 May Festival. After graduating, Fukuda briefly worked as a reporter for the Tokyo Times newspaper before joining the Mingei Theatre Company as an assistant director, later branching out into play writing under the guidance of his mentor Junji Kinoshita. Shingeki and Angura As a member of the Shingeki ("new theatre") movement, Fukuda's early works adopted a socialist realist stance, as reflected in plays such as Long Rows of the Gravestones, which dramatized the Kawai Eijiro incident of 1938, in which a liberal professor had his books banned, and which had left a profound impression on Fukuda's mentor Kinoshita when he was a student. Another early play in this mode was Oppekepe, which dramatized the struggle of the Freedom and People's Rights Movement during the Meiji period and received the National Arts Festival's Encouragement Award (奨励賞) in 1958. From 1959 to 1960, virtually the entire Shingeki movement was mobilized to take part in the massive Anpo protests against revision of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty (known as "Anpo" in Japanese), under the auspices of an umbrella organization called the Shingeki Workers Association (新劇人会議 Shingekijin Kaigi). However, many younger members of the movement, including Fukuda, sympathized with the student radicals in the Zengakuren student federation and were extremely disappointed that the Shingeki Association enforced strict conformity to the passive and ineffectual protest policies of the Japan Communist Party, even after right-wing counter-protesters brutally attacked Shingeki members during a protest march at the National Diet on June 15, 1960, resulting in 80 members being injured. Although discontent had been building throughout the 1950s, the radicalizing experience of the Anpo Protests helped convince Fukuda and other younger Shingeki members to break away and found their own theater troupes, where they could experiment with much more radical forms of theater. In 1960, Fukuda became one of the founders, along with noh actor Hideo Kanze, composer Hikaru Hayashi, and 20 actors from the third graduating class of Mingei's training program, of the new Seinen Geijutsu Gekijō ("Youth Art Theater"), abbreviated Seigei. Immediately following the Anpo Protests, Seigei staged a play written by Fukuda called Record Number 1, which is often cited as the first play in the newly emerging Angura ("underground") theatre movement in Japan. Record Number 1 was extremely unorthodox and experimental, blurring the lines between reality and play and breaking the fourth wall. In this play, the actors of Seigei expressed their emotions and frustration around their experiences in the recently concluded Anpo protests. Historian of Japanese theater David G. Goodman has called Record Number 1 “a pivotal moment in the history of the modern Japanese theater movement,” one that “challenged every aspect of the Shingeki orthodoxy.” A large number of Angura directors and playwrights worked with Seigei and Fukuda in the early 1960s, including Jūrō Kara, Makoto Satō, and Minoru Betsuyaku. They then went on to found their own experimental theater troupes later in the 1960s. Fukuda's next major play was Brave Records of the Sanada Clan (Sanada fuunroku), an account of Sanada Yukimura's doomed defense of Osaka Castle in 1615 which straddled a fine line between honoring and mocking his earlier works valorizing social struggle by turning it into a musical. First staged as a play in 1962, the work was released as a film the following year, proving to be a box office bomb, but achieving cult film status in later years. The original play was nominated for the Kishida Prize for Drama, but did not win. Perhaps Fukuda's most famous play is Find Hakamadare! (Hakamadare wa doko da), which was staged by Seigei in 1964. In this satyrical play, a group of medieval peasants search for a Robin Hood-like figure called "Hakamadare" to lead them in their struggles, but when the finally find him and he turns out to be a self-serving villain, they kill him and establish their own government. Find Hakamadare! was awarded the Kishida Prize for Drama, but Fukuda turned it down due to past conflicts with some of the judges. Later years In 1966, Seigei dissolved. Thereafter, Fukuda became a prolific screenwriter, penning numerous episodes of a variety of television dramas, including NHK's Taiga Drama series of historical epics, as well as feature films and anime. He was the sole screenwriter of the 1976 Taiga Drama Wind, Clouds, and Rainbows (Kaze to kumo to niji to). Having participated in the founding of the Japan Directors Association in 1960, Fukuda served as its Chairman from 2003 to 2007.

The EnBW affair refers to the unauthorized and financially disastrous buyback of a block of EnBW shares from the French Électricité de France (EDF) by the then Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Stefan Mappus (CDU). In 2000, Baden-Württemberg sold 25.01 percent of the energy supplier EnBW to the French electricity company EDF and received 4.7 billion marks (2.4 billion euros) in return. At the end of 2010, the Baden-Württemberg state government founded a state-owned company Neckarpri at the instigation of the then Prime Minister Stefan Mappus without any budgetary basis or parliamentary approval in order to buy back the EnBW shares with it. A few months before the state elections, the state surprisingly buys back EnBW from EDF. The purchase price for a 45 percent stake: 4.67 billion euros. Finance Minister Willi Stächele (CDU) applied the right to emergency permits; the state parliament does not have to agree in advance. In the state elections in March 2011, the CDU-FDP state government was replaced by a green-red coalition. The EnBW deal had a strong impact on the election campaign. The State Court of Baden-Württemberg declares the EnBW deal to be unconstitutional in October 2011. Close personal ties, insufficient documentation, contradictory statements and the decline in the value of the stake led to a parliamentary committee of inquiry. He finished his work in June 2014. Public prosecutor's investigations against Mappus and other parties involved by the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office were discontinued in October 2014. The state-owned Neckarpri company only made losses for over 10 years until 2021. References 2010 in Germany Ministers-President of Baden-Württemberg EnBW

Raymond A. Jordan Jr. (May 5, 1943 – February 5, 2022) was an American politician from Massachusetts. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, representing Springfield from 1975 until 1994. Early life and education Raymond A. Jordan Jr. was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on May 5, 1943. He attended the Springfield Technical High School and later enrolled at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Jordan served as director of the Afro-American Cultural Center at American International College in Springfield. During the 1960s, he was arrested on the Springfield City Hall's steps while protesting for civil rights. Political career In November 1974, Jordan was elected to the newly created 13th Hampden district in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, defeating Republican candidate Benjamin Swan by a margin of 2,043 to 1,548. He was the first African-American from outside Boston to be elected to Massachusetts's legislature. In the 19751976 legislative session, Jordan voted in favor of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment (which passed 18845), against a bill to cut welfare benefits (which passed 19830), against an effort to reinstate capital punishment over the governor's veto (which passed 16654), in favor of a measure to reauthorize rent control (which passed 17649), and against a measure to ban handguns (which failed 35197). That session, he received a 91% rating from the Americans for Democratic Action, an 82% rating from the AFL–CIO, and a 0% rating from the Citizens for Limited Taxation. Jordan served as president of the Massachusetts Black Legislative Caucus and as chairman of the House's Committee on Counties. A 1983 column in The Boston Globe described him as "a 40-year-old professional politician with deceptive countrified charm and a taste for inside wheeling and dealing". He served as a delegate to the 1984 Democratic National Convention, supporting Walter Mondale's bid for the presidential nomination and favoring unsuccessful proposed amendments to the party platform that called for reductions in military spending and opposed pre-emptive nuclear strikes. A state campaign finance office concluded in 1994 that Jordan had spent campaign funds renting an apartment, ostensibly in violation of the law; no action was taken against him after he agreed to stop making such payments. He resigned on February 28, 1994, to accept a position in the federal government. Later life and death Jordan spent eighteen years at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. He served in several different posts, including special project officer for New England, senior community builder and state coordinator for the Connecticut office, and liaison for faith-based and community initiatives. Jordan retired from the department in 2012.

The Seaward 32RK is an American sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 2006. The design is also sometimes called the Hake 32RK. Production The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 2006, but it is now out of production. Design The Seaward 32RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a bowsprit; a plumb stem; a vertical, walk-through transom; a lifting, transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a lifting keel with a weighted bulb, actuated by an electric winch. It displaces and carries of ballast. The walk-through transom has a swimming ladder and a hot and cold shower. The boat has a draft of with the keel extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3YM30 diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of . The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a "U"-shaped dinette table that forms a double berth and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. The design has a hull speed of . Operational history In a 2020 review in Blue Water Sailing, Sandy Parks wrote, " The 32RK has one signature design feature that makes it uniquely suitable for cruising in areas with a lot of shallow water and for sailors who want to trailer their boats. The RK in its name stands for 'retracting keel' which enables you to lower the keel to whatever depth you want, within reason, and to raise it again when the water starts to get thin. A simple electric winch raises and lowers the keel."

This is a list of members of the United States Congress who enslaved people. Slavery was legal in the United States from its beginning as a nation, having been practiced in North America from early colonial days. Synopsis At least 1,700 members of Congress held slaves at some point in their lives , including 374 senators, at least 1,477 representatives, at least 23 territorial delegates to the U.S. House, at least 6 members of the Congress of the Confederation, and at least 2 members of the Continental Congress. Slaveowners, whether holding slaves in office or previously as adults, represented 37 states in either house of Congress, from 1789 to 1923: Alabama Arkansas California Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Iowa Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi Missouri New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin In addition, the following territories and insular areas were represented by contemporary or former slaveowners who were elected as delegates: Arkansas Territory Florida Territory Illinois Territory Indiana Territory Louisiana Territory Michigan Territory Mississippi Territory Missouri Territory New Mexico Territory Northwest Territory Oregon Territory Utah Territory Washington Territory Wisconsin Territory Numerous slaveowners, contemporary and former, served in the Continental Congress and the Congress of the Confederation, and slaveowning men constituted at least half of the membership of Congress from 1789 to 1819. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution formally abolished slavery in 1865, immediately after the end of the American Civil War. During Reconstruction, the number of former slaveowners declined, but then rose following the end of Reconstruction, followed by a gradual decline in the number of former slaveowners. William Richardson of Alabama was the last of the continuous line of former slaveholders to serve in Congress, having died in office in 1914. The 64th Congress of 1915-1917 was the first full session to not have any contemporary or former slaveholders in its roster. The last slaveholder to ever hold office in Congress was Rebecca Latimer Felton, who was appointed to represent Georgia in the United States Senate for one day during the 67th Congress. In addition to being the first woman to serve in the Senate, she was the only female slaveowner to ever hold office in Congress. On January 10, 2022, The Washington Post launched the first known database of documented contemporary or former slaveowners who held office in Congress and its preceding legislatures.

El Poblado de Boquerón (Spanish for the settlement of Boquerón) is a coastal village which represents the downtown or main urban nucleus of the barrio (district) Boquerón of Cabo Rojo, located on the northeast of Boquerón Bay. The village is a major tourist destination, and it is renown in Puerto Rico for its gastronomy, boathouses, beach, nightlife and its yearly pride parade. The area around the village of Boquerón was first populated by indigenous Taíno peoples and several native archaeological sites have been uncovered in its vicinity. The modern village originated as a fishing village (villa pesquera) and much of its fishing industry can still be seen today. One of the main fishing products of the area are oysters, which gives the region its nickname La Zona Ostionera ("the oyster zone"). The village today features a large number of hotels, inns and B&Bs, seafood restaurants, bars (including dive bars and karaoke bars), a waterfront promenade (malecón), a functioning fishing and recreational marina, and a main street that becomes pedestrianized during weekend nightlife and pride celebrations. Boquerón Beach, one of the most popular beaches in Puerto Rico, is located immediately south of El Poblado de Boquerón. El Poblado is also known for being LGBT friendly and hosts Boquerón Pride, a popular and growing pride parade that is held each year in June. The village is also close to the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge and the Boquerón State Forest, which provide opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, biking, snorkeling and kayaking.

El Mouradia Palace (, ) is the office and residence of the President of Algeria. It is located in the neighborhood of El Mouradia on the hills overlooking Algiers. "El Mouradia" is also widely used as shorthand for the Algerian President's office. History The first president of independent Algeria, Ahmed Ben Bella, set up his offices at the old Summer Palace, but lived at . It was there that he was arrested during Houari Boumédiène's 1965 coup. The latter, upon becoming president, didn't want to settle in either the old Government Palace, which was built by the French, nor the Summer Palace which dates from the Ottoman era; instead, he chose to install the presidency a little higher in the district of El Mouradia, which was named after the martyr Didouche Mourad. He had a palace built there in the Moorish Revival architecture style. The site also suited his preference for secrecy. Description This palace is the official residence of the President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria. It is located on the heights of Algiers, about 4 km south of the city centre. The places have been occupied by several presidents, namely: Houari Boumédiène, Rabah Bitat, Chadli Bendjedid, Mohamed Boudiaf, Ali Kafi, Liamine Zéroual, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Abdelkader Bensalah (acting president), and since 2020, the current president Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Security The security of the palace is provided by the Directorate of Security and Presidential Protection and Republican Guard.

Platanthera pallida, commonly known as Pale fringed orchid, is a rare orchid of North America with the only known occurrences on Long Island. Description Platanthera pallida plants are terrestrial orchids that look similar to Platanthera cristata - in fact before recognition as a species they were suspected to be variations or hybrids. They are 29-65 cm tall and have 2-3 lower leaves which are up to 25 cm long, as well as several reduced upper leaves. There are 24-80 flowers arranged in a raceme at the top of the stem, with a pale orange-yellow to pale cream color and a short nectar spur. Bloom time is in summer. Distribution and habitat Platanthera pallida is endemic to Long Island in New York with only three known populations. It grows in dry areas between sand dunes. Taxonomy Platanthera pallida was first described as a new species by P. M. Brown in 1992, when he examined plant populations that had been suspected to be variations or hybrids of Platanthera cristata. The USDA's plants database considers them identical to Platanthera × canbyi (the hybrid of Platanthera cristata with Platanthera blephariglottis). Future studies are likely to re-examine the current status as a separate species. References pallida Orchids of the United States

Deirdre "Dede" Byrne is a Roman Catholic nun, missionary, surgeon, and retired U.S. Army Colonel. Education Byrne grew up in the Washington suburb of McLean, Virginia, in a devout Catholic family as one of eight siblings. She attended Langley High School and later graduated from Virginia Tech. After attending Virginia Tech, she was accepted to Georgetown School of Medicine, where her father and two brothers had also attended. With finances tight, Byrne joined the U.S. Army in 1978 as a medical student and received a military medical scholarship. Career After three years of family medicine residency at the U.S. Army hospital in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, she served as a full-time officer for 13 months in the Sinai Peninsula. Here, she acted as a liaison between the U.S. Army and the monks of St. Catherine's Monastery, located at the base of Mt. Sinai. After this, Byrne volunteered to serve in Korea in order to practice family and emergency medicine. In 1989, Byrne spent a year performing missionary medicine in India. In 1990, she was accepted into an Army surgical residency program, but deferred this to do surgical training in Georgetown, ending in 1994. In 1996, as chief surgical resident, she was the first assistant for Cardinal Hickey, after he received open-heart surgery. In 1997, Byrne delivered medical care to Mother Teresa, when she visited Washington for five days. After this, Byrne went on to practice in Ventura, California and completed her board certification in surgery in 2000. Later that year, she returned to Washington to discern joining the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts. She admired the order for their humility and making only minor changes over the years, noting that the "storm of Vatican II blew over their heads, and all they felt was a little breeze." In 2001, during the September 11 attacks, she went to the World Trade Center site for the first two days following the attack. She worked in a first aid tent and dispensed supplies and support to firefighters. She took her formal formation in 2002 and completed her first religious vows in 2004. However, her religious life was interrupted when the army brought her back as a reservist in 2003, and deployed her three times over the next six years. In 2003, she served at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, in 2005 at Fort Carson in Colorado, and in 2008 she was deployed to Afghanistan, where she cared for wounded citizens. In 2009, after returning from Afghanistan, Byrne retired from the U.S. Army at the rank of Colonel. She professed her final vows as a nun two years later. On July 4, 2019, Byrne was praised by President Donald Trump, who thanked her for her lifetime of service. On August 26, 2020, she spoke at the Republican National Convention and described Trump as "the most pro-life president this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages." In 2021, she co-signed a letter condemning "abortion-tainted" COVID-19 vaccines.
