Jean-Pierre Grédy (16 August 1920 – 6 February 2022) was a French playwright.

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has directed its members to withdraw teaching and related activities with effect from Monday, January 10, 2022, until further notice. The University Teachers Association of Ghana has since January 10, 2022, withdrawn all services as declared. The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has turned down an invitation to meet with the National Labour Commission (NLC) and the government in a bid to resolve its ongoing strike.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) is expected to convene a crunch meeting on Friday, February 4, 2022, over its industrial action.
This consideration comes after the Labour Court 1 directed it to consider settling its dispute with the National Labour Commission (NLC) out of court.
Both parties were in court on Thursday, February 3, 2022, for the hearing of an application for the enforcement of a directive by the NLC.
After a separate meeting with the parties in his Chamber, the judge presiding over the case, Justice Frank Rockson Aboadwe, entreated UTAG to take steps to consult its members on the possible suspension of the strike while NLC withdraws the legal case from court.
The Lead Counsel for UTAG, Kwesi Keli-Delataa, while accepting the offer, indicated that the national officers and NEC could not take the decision without consulting its members. He, however, reminded the Judge that anytime UTAG showed good faith, the employer reneged on its commitment.
Reasons for strike
According to UTAG, the strike action is in response to “the worsening Conditions of Service (CoS) of the University Teacher and the failure of the Employer in addressing the plight of UTAG members within the agreed timelines.
Engagements
The Education Ministry has met with Vice-Chancellors (VC) Ghana to strategize measures to end the ongoing strike by members of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG). The meeting follows the court order for the National Labour Commission and the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) to settle the matter out of court.
Speaking to the media after the closed-door meeting on Friday, Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum assured the Vice-Chancellors Ghana of resolving the impasse as soon as possible.
“Professors, Vice-Chancellors, I am truly appreciative of your commitments to the course. The engagements you’ve been having with your various UTAG members and professors are much appreciated. I will not let you down and I will do everything possible to ensure that we come to an amicable conclusion that will bring joy to the faces of our students who are waiting eagerly to go back to the lecture halls to begin their academic endeavours,” he said.
Effects of the strike
Should the strike continue for 21 days, all public universities are likely to be shut down. Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Academic and Students’ Affairs at the University of Ghana (Pro VC ASA), Prof. Gordon Awandare, says the law does prescribe universities in the country to shut down 21 days after no academic work.
According to him, such a decision is economically driven as careful consideration is taken on the institution's cost for the university's smooth running.
In a related development, Education think tank, Africa Education Watch, has called on Vice Chancellors to shut down all public universities until the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) calls off its strike.
Eduwatch is of the view that the continuous stay of students on campuses without any academic activity has adverse economic and social consequences on the students and their caretakers.
“They continue to incur expenditure they otherwise wouldn’t have incurred if they were home. We, therefore, call on Vice Chancellors to close down all public universities until the UTAG strike is called off,” Eduwatch said in a statement on Wednesday, February 9, 2022.
“Majority of students on campus are freshmen who have not even been matriculated. These freshmen have had no academic direction since they arrived in the universities to meet a university community without academic activity or supervision by their lecturers and counsellors due to the strike.”

Bestia is a 2021 Chilean stop-motion animated short film directed by Hugo Covarrubias and co-written with Martín Erazo. It is inspired by Íngrid Olderöck, DINA agent during the Chilean military dictatorship.
The film received a nomination for Best Animated Short Subject at the 49th Annie Awards. It also made the shortlist for Best Animated Short Film at the 94th Academy Awards, later achieving the nomination.
Release
The film screened at the 2021 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it competed in the Short Films section and won the Festival Connexion Award.
Production
Bestia is the third animated short film directed by Hugo Covarrubias, after El almohadón de pluma (2007) and La noche boca arriba (2012). The idea arose with the intention of addressing part of the history of Chile "with lesser-known characters, less official and darker". Although the original objective was to produce an animated series, Covarrubias decided to focus on one of those stories to make a unitary short film.
The main character is inspired by Íngrid Olderöck, a police major and DINA agent during the Chilean military dictatorship, responsible for human rights violations in that period. According to Covarrubias, the objective of the film is not a biography of Olderöck but «a visit to her secret life, her relationship with her dog, her fears and frustrations, which are ultimately the x-ray of a country that is fractured, a country that it is full of wounds that are not even close to healing yet».
The technique used was stop motion animation, which was done by Covarrubias and Matías Delgado. The design of the protagonist was based on the aesthetics of porcelain dolls, to convey the inexpressiveness and coldness of the character. The character was created with polyurethane resin bathed in crystal resin, to give her face a texture similar to ceramic. Meanwhile, the sets and decorations were made with different opaque cardboards to create a contrast with the brightness of the resin.
The short film was produced by Tevo Díaz, through the company Trébol 3, while Cecilia Toro worked as a costume designer and art producer. Its financing came from the "Audiovisual Development Fund" of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage of Chile.

Panathinaikos AC women's football is a Greek team, part of the major Athens-based multi-sport club Panathinaikos A.O.. It was first founded in 1980 and operated until 1982. In its short presence, it produced the athletes who starred in the following years, who were decisive factors for the development of women's football in Greece. On June 30, 2021, the reactivation of the department was officially announced.
History
The women's football department of Panathinaikos was one of the first to be established in Greece. It was founded in 1980 under the responsibility of Panathinaikos F.C.. The original roster was completed through a selection between 200 young athletes.
The technical leadership of the team was taken over successively by Spilios Zacharopoulos, Gómez de Faria and Takis Ikonomopoulos. The department operated from 1980 to 1982 and the activity of the team was limited to friendly matches with other women's teams but also with men's. The most talented athletes of Panathinaikos were the striker Georgia Tzani, whom coach Gómez de Faria used to call "white Pelé", and the stopper Fotini Karadima, who was also called "Novoselac". The leader of the team was Anna Kotsopoulou.
The absence of a domestic championship, which started in 1987, or other competitive events was condemnatory for the section, although it consisted of athletes with remarkable potential. In 1982 the division ceased to exist, but Panathinaikos players continued to compete together as they immediately founded "Doxa Athens" (later renamed to "Doxa Piraeus"), with which they won 4 championships in 5 years, losing only one in a draw.

Ni State (郳國), also known as Xiao Zhu (小邾國), was segregated from Zou, a vassal state of Lu, during Zhou Dynasty. It was destroyed by Chu during Warring States Period.
Location
Xiao Zhu was a vassal state between the late Western Zhou and Warring States Period, which was located between Qi, Lu, Song, Chu and other major countries. The "Spring and Autumn Annals: Xiao Zhu" was lost due to war, it also marked the location of Ni state or Xiao Zhu. The territory of Xiao Zhu was roughly the entire Shangting District.
History
After the fall of Shang Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou had appointed his younger brothers to secure the newly conquered Shang lands. Duke of Zhou successfully suppressed the Rebellion of the Three Guards. Cao Xia (descendant of Yan An) was given the small regional state of Zou.
Three Kingdoms of Zhu
Gongzi You was enthroned at Ni state or Xiao Zhu when Yifu Yan was still alive. Yifu Yan also known as Viscount Yan of Zou, was the seventh monarch of Zou. The state had grown from a small one to a strong one, closely following Qi and Lu. At that time Qi, promoted hegemony, Yifu Yan responded positively and ran to and fro Teng, Xue and other countries, causing dissatisfaction in Lu. Yifu Yan was reported to King You of Zhou, the last king of Western Zhou. Yifu Yan was framed and later executed.
Some said that, Cao Yan was executed because he helped the Boyu to usurp the throne during the reign of Duke Yi of Lu. Later Yifu Yan's younger brother, Shushu, was ordered to represent Zou. Shushu was on the throne for more than 10 years, Yifu Yan injustice was then rehabilitated and he was given the title Viscount Wu of Zou. Viscount Wu of Zou had two sons, Viscount Xia of Zou and Gongzi You. After the unjust case was clear, Shushu returned the king position to the eldest son and went to establish the state of Lan.
Li Lai of Ni
In 653, Li Lai was ordered by the king to be promoted to Viscount. Since it had the same title as Zou, Ni state was renamed to Xiao Zhu, to show that the states were different from each other because they were from the same clan.
Viscount Mu of Xiao Zhu
In 525, Viscount Mu hosted a banquet for Duke Zhao of Lu. During the banquet, Ji Pingzi wrote the poem, "Caishu", while Duke Mu wrote "Jing Jing Zhe E" to harmonize. During this period, Xiao Zhu culture spread far and wide to the world. Duke Mu reigned for 41 years, the longest reigning monarch in Xiao Zhu.
Defeat
During the reign of King Xuan of Chu (369–340 BC), Zou and Xiao Zhu were destroyed.
Descendant
Yan Hui was the 18th generation descendant of Yan You.
Rulers of the state
Gongzi You (公子友), son of Viscount Wu of Zou (邾武公) also known as Viscount Yan of Zou (邾颜公)
Li Lai of Ni (郳犁來)
Viscount Mu of Xiao Zhu (小邾穆公)
Viscount Gong of Xiao Zhu (小邾恭公)
Viscount Hui of Xiao Zhu (小邾惠公)
Viscount Ai of Xiao Zhu (小邾哀公)
Excavation findings
During the summer of 2002, villagers from Dongjiang Village, ten kilometers from southwest of Shangcheng Street, Shanting District, Zaozhuang City, discovered ancient tombs on the south side of the high earth platform in the south of the village.
Five ancient tombs, two of which had been robbed, and the three well-preserved ancient tombs were immediately investigated. 233 cultural relics were unearthed, including 203 bronzes, 24 bronzes with inscriptions, 17 pottery, 12 jade and 1 bone. From the unearthed bronze inscriptions, it is inferred that tomb No.1 was Yan You, the king of Xiao Zhu and some bronze wares with inscriptions were also unearthed in the second and third tombs.

The Fourth Bomb is a 1942 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street. It is the thirty sixth in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective. In The Observer Maurice Richardson wrote "Inspector Waghorn does the investigating, but the evidence is so contradictory and suspicion so widely distributed that the solution calls for Dr. Priestley, whom, you will be sorry to hear, I thought was looking alarmingly shaky. Sound recommendation, of course" while Isaac Anderson in the New York Times wrote "It is merely the familiar Dr. Priestley formula set against the background of wartime England."
Synopsis
At the height of the Second World War, a German air raid sees four bombs dropped on the English village of Yardley Green. Four bombs fall on the settlement, the first three doing some damage and injuring two of the inhabitants. The fourth bomb appears to have killed Gazeley, a prosperous diamond merchant. However it soon transpires that Gazeley had been murdered after the air raid, and a fortune of diamonds he had on his person is now missing. Inspector Waghorn of Scotland Yard calls for the assistance of Doctor Priestley.

Football Club Saint-Leu 95 is a French football club founded in 1928 and based in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt in the Val-d'Oise department. In the 1990s, the club quickly established itself as the flagship club of Val-d'Oise by gaining promotion to the then Division 3 (now National) in the 1990s.
The club however suffered consecutive demotions shortly before the 2000s. The club was relegated to the regional level, in which it currently plays. Despite a promotion to National 3 in 2019, the club fell back to Regional 1 (6th division of French Football) in which it currently plays.
History
Early beginnings (1984–1999)
In the 1990s, the club established itself as the flagship club of Val-d'Oise, which led to its presence in National 1 (then Division 3).
As the Val-d'Oise champions of the then Division d'Honneur (now Regional 1), the club was promoted to Division 4 in 1984. The 1984–85 season was very satisfactory for FC Saint-Leu, as they finished in 5th place in their group with 28 points, just 5 points from FC Saint-Lô , who was first in the group.
In the next campaign, in 1985-86, the team did even better as they finished the season in third place with 34 points in Group B. This time falling just 2 points behind Évreux AC.
During the 1986-87 season, FC Saint-Leu continued to position itself in the race for promotion but did not manage to finish in the top 2, finishing 4th in their group with 33 points. They finished the league behind three clubs from the Ile-de-France region; AS Poissy, USM Senlis, and ES Viry-Châtillon.
Indeed, during the 1987-88 campaign, FC Saint-Leu, still in the race for promotion, managed to finish second with 38 points. They were tied with the first placed, Évry FC who were ahead of the Val-d'Oisiens on goal difference. This second place being synonymous with a rise, FC Saint-Leu will therefore play in Division 3 the following year.
In 1988-89 for its first season in Division 3 (Championnat National), Saint-Leu kept its spot in the league. At the end of the season, the club finished 4th with 35 points, however well ahead of the promoted Red Star with 13 more points.
In the following season, the club was placed more in the middle of the table. They were ranked 9th in the North group with 30 points.
The 1990-91 season was a success for the club which finds the race for the rise in Division 2. Battling for first place, Saint-Leu was overtaken at the end of the championship and finished second in the North group with 40 points (just 3 points behind the winners, Amiens SC).
The 1991–92 season was similar, with the club once again finishing second with 43 points, tied with winners US Créteil.
The 1992-93 season was a good season for the club. Saint-Leu dominated the North group, finishing 1st with 39 points. The club was therefore promoted to National 1 which was called Division 3 then, following the restructuring of the national amateur divisions by the FFF and for example, the creation of the N3, N2, and N1.
FC Saint-Leu's first season in National 1 which was the 1993-94 season was satisfactory, as the club finished 6th in group A with 35 points.
The following season, 1994-95, the club remained in the National 1 as they finished 13th in the same group with 32 points.
In the 1995-96 season, the Val-d'Oisiens were back to the top half of the table as they were in the 5th place at end of the season with 45 points in a group A dominated by ES Troyes AC and Stade Briochin.
Saint-Denis Saint-Leu FC
The club merged in 1996 with Saint-Denis FC to form Saint-Denis Saint-Leu FC, whose ambition under the chairmanship of former French international Dominique Rocheteau, was to create a Parisian suburban club with a vocation that can occupy the brand new Stade de France full-time.
For its inaugural season in 1996-97 Saint-Denis Saint-Leu FC, led by Joël Tiéhi (top scorer in Group A with 22 goals) achieved neither promotion nor demotion by finishing 7th in the National with 57 points.
The following season, 1997-98, was more difficult for the club. They struggled in the league and managed to finish 13th with 38 points. Things even got worse for Saint-Denis Saint-Leu who despite their sporting maintenance were demoted to CFA during the off-season for financial reasons.
At the end of the 1998-99 CFA season, the club failed to move up to National 1, finishing 8th with 84 points. Saint-Denis Saint-Leu FC was again demoted administratively for further financial problems.
Following many more financial troubles and many demotions, the club separated from Saint-Denis and became FC Saint-Leu again in 1999 and started from scratch at the regional level.

In 2002, the club merged again with Le Plessis-Bouchard (Val d'Oise) to form FC Saint-Leu PB 95.
In 2008, the U17s of FC Saint-Leu PB 95 reached the national championship (1st division) and managed to avoid relegation for 2 seasons, before being relegated into the regional leagues.
In 2016, the club separated from Plessis-Bouchard and took the name FC Saint-Leu 95.
During the 2016-2017 season, FC Saint-Leu 95 reached the DSR (i.e. the 7th division ) by finishing second in its honorary division pool (DHR). The Seniors in Regional 2 (new name of the DHR) chain promotions and then access the Regional 1 (the 6th national division) during the 2017-2018 season.
In the 2018-19 Regional 1 season, FC St Leu 95 was a candidate for the rise to National 3 (5th national level) just like their local rival, Saint-Denis FC or their neighbors AS Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône. At the end of the championship, FC Saint-Leu were second in their group, behind the second reserve of PSG who cannot go up to National 3.
The club was eventually promoted to National 3, and its return to national competitions since 2000.
For the next season, 2019/20, the team played its first National 3 match against Torcy on August 17, 2019. The Saint-Loupiens lost 3 goals to 1.
On August 31, 2019, the Val-d'oisiens played their first home match against FC Noisy-le-Grand. It was also their first victory as they won 2-0. Despite this result and some flashes such as 2 wins against FC Versailles, the scarecrow of the group, Saint-Leu does not manage to take off and quickly sinks into the relegation zone. When the championship was put on hold and then officially ended because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the club was left with 14 points in 13th and penultimate place in the group L, ahead of AC Boulogne-Billancourt. Saint-Leu was relegated again to Regional 1.
The club aiming to immediately go back to National 3 will however see its ambitions considerably slowed down due to the Covid-19 pandemic which once again imposes the total cessation of amateur competitions. Playing the mid-table of his group again in 2021, Saint-Leu is at the end of the season in 7th place in group A.
Rivalries
The club being from Val-d'Oise, it has many Rivalries with its neighbors from the same department or from the rest of Île-de-France. During the club's years in Division 3 and Division 4, the club had rivalries with Évry FC and US Créteil against whom Saint-Leu were battling for promotion. These meetings were already qualified as Parisian derbies at the time.
Following their numerous demotions, FC Saint-Leu 95 fell behind two other Val-d'Oisien football clubs, Entente SSG (in National / National 2) and AS Saint-Ouen l'Aumône (in National 3 for a few years), and therefore, is no longer the flagship club of Val-d'Oise.
For its return to Regional 1, FC Saint-Leu plays against 3 other Val-d'Oisien clubs (Saint-Loupiens, AS Saint-Ouen l'Aumône, and Saint-Brice 95 FC) in local derbies.

The Links is an American invitation-only social and service organization of upper-class Black women. Founded in 1946, it is the largest organization of Black women in the United States. Members include multiple prominent women, including Kamala Harris, Marian Wright Edelman, and Betty Shabazz.
As of 2021 there were 16,000 members in nearly 300 chapters. The organization was founded in Philadelphia but as of 2022 is headquartered in Washington DC.
History
The Links, Incorporated, a not-for-profit corporation, was founded in 1946 in Philadelphia by seven upper-class Black women. Sarah Strickland Scott and Margaret Roselle Hawkins recruited Frances Atkinson, Katie Green, Marion Minton, Lillian Stanford, Myrtle Manigault Stratton, Lillian Wall, and Dorothy Wright. All of the women were members of prominent Black professional families of Philadelphia; six were the wives of physicians and the seventh the wife of a bank president. All had bachelor's or master's degrees from elite schools and had been active in other elite Black social organizations such as Jack and Jill and Alpha Kappa Alpha and other prominent organizations such as the NAACP, the League of Women Voters, and the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company. Most were members of St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
Other cities soon created chapters; by 1949 there were ten chapters and by 1952 there were 56 chapters. As of 2008 there were about 12,000 members in 273 chapters in 42 states Greater Detroit had four chapters in 2021.
Over the decades the group transformed itself from "a group of women married to influential men to a group of women who became influential themselves", according to one member; the evolution caused "clear conflict between the old guard and the new guard", according to another.
Organization
As of 2021 there were 16,000 members in 292 chapters. As of 1999 each chapter membership was limited to no more than 55 women. As of 2022 the headquarters was in Washington, DC.
Leadership
As of 2022 the organization has had fourteen national presidents.

Exclusivity
Women interested in joining any of the local chapters must be nominated by a current member; if a chapter has 55 members, no more can be accepted until one leaves. Admission is "extremely competitive", according to Lawrence Otis Graham, author of the Our Kind of People (1999). One member of a Washington DC chapter describes having spent "twelve years of strategizing, party-giving, and brownnosing to get into this group." Most women do not get into Links until they are in their 40s or older, and most remain members until they die.
Links has been criticized for its exclusivity; one member noted that while a woman could be nominated by any other member, for practical intents those admitted are "usually those who know at least half of the chapter's membership." Social, professional, or economic prominence within a city's Black community can also help get a candidate admitted, as members with such backgrounds help add to the chapter's prestige.
Work
The organization requires each member to accumulate many volunteer hours. The organization raises funds for a variety of charities and causes such as the United Negro College Fund and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The national core focuses include education, health, youth services, the arts, domestic legislation, and international welfare.
Chapters typically also hold multiple social events for a city's Black elites, such as debutante cotillions, fashion shows, gala fundraisers, balls, luncheons, and formal parties.
Importance
According to Graham, The Links is the "most elite organization" for upper-class American Black women and both the largest and the most influential. Membership in the organization, he writes, signals to other upper class Blacks that "your social background, lifestyle, physical appearance, and family's academic and professional accomplishments passed muster".
Los Angeles PBS station KCET called The Links "the most prominent" of the Black women's clubs. Rolling Stone called it "one of the most influential and prestigious".
John Lewis called The Links a “distinguished organization of outstanding community service and influence”.

Jacob Zuma, the former president of South Africa, is currently facing criminal charges relating to alleged corruption in the 1999 Arms Deal. He was first indicted on the charges in June 2005, but attempts to prosecute him have been beset by legal challenges and political controversy. He is currently charged with two counts of corruption, one count each of racketeering and money laundering, and twelve counts of fraud, all arising from his receipt of 783 payments which the state alleges were bribes from businessman Schabir Shaik and French arms company Thales.
The Arms Deal, a major defence procurement package, was signed shortly after Zuma was appointed deputy president in 1999, and both Shaik and Thales had financial interests in the underlying contracts. By 2003, Zuma was one of several South African politicians rumoured to have benefited improperly from the deal, and these rumours appeared to receive substantiation during Shaik's criminal trial. In June 2005, the court convicted Shaik of making corrupt payments to Zuma in connection with the Arms Deal, including annual payments of R500,000 made on behalf of Thales. In the aftermath of the judgement, President Thabo Mbeki fired Zuma as deputy president, and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) instituted formal corruption charges against him. However, the charges were struck off the court roll in September 2006 due to the NPA's unreadiness to proceed with the trial.
At the Polokwane conference in December 2007, Zuma was elected president of the African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party. Just over a week later, the NPA reinstated the charges against him. The charges were set aside again in September 2008, when high court judge Chris Nicholson declared them unlawful on procedural grounds. Nicholson also suggested that political interference in the NPA had played a significant role in Zuma's prosecution. This finding inflamed an ongoing political rivalry between Zuma and Mbeki, and it led the ANC National Executive Committee to demand Mbeki's resignation as national president. In January 2009, the Supreme Court of Appeal overturned Nicholson's ruling. Yet in April 2009, the NPA voluntarily withdrew the charges against Zuma due to new allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, this time fuelled by the so-called spy tapes.
Zuma's presidency lasted between May 2009 and February 2018. In the middle of his second term, in April 2016, the Pretoria High Court ruled that the NPA's April 2009 decision to drop the charges had been irrational. That decision was therefore set aside, and the NPA's new leadership was required to decide anew whether to reinstate the charges. On 16 March 2018, just over a month after Zuma resigned as president, the NPA announced that Zuma would again face prosecution. His first court appearance was on 6 April 2018 in the Durban Magistrates' Court, but the trial has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and by what commentators have dubbed Zuma's Stalingrad defence. In the interim, in a separate legal matter, he has been imprisoned for contempt of court. He pleaded not guilty to the Arms Deal charges on 26 May 2021, and the trial is set to resume on 11 April 2022.
2004–2005: Shaik trial
The 1999 Arms Deal, a R30-billion defence procurement package, was signed by the South African governments months after Zuma's appointment to the deputy presidency in 1999. It was subject to numerous allegations of profiteering and corruption almost from the outset. In late 2002, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) announced that Zuma was one of several African National Congress (ANC) politicians under investigation by the Scorpions for corruption related to the Arms Deal. In August 2003, National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Bulelani Ngcuka told the media that the NPA had a "prima facie case of corruption" against Zuma but had decided not to prosecute on the basis that the case was probably not winnable.
The next year, however, Zuma became a key figure in the 2004–2005 trial of Schabir Shaik, a Durban businessman and his friend and financial adviser. The trial concerned subcontracts for the four Valour-class frigates which had been procured for the South African Navy under the Arms Deal. Shaik had a close business relationship with Thomson-CSF (later Thales), which had won the contract to provide the combat suites for the frigates. A company which Shaik part-owned, Altech Defence Systems (later African Defence Systems), also won an Arms Deal subcontract, though only after it had been acquired by Thomson by 1999.
On 2 June 2005, Shaik was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment on two counts of corruption and one count of fraud. The centre of the state's case was that there had been a "generalised pattern of corrupt behaviour" between him and Zuma. (A version of this phrase is often mistakenly attributed to the presiding judge, rather than to its true source, the NPA.) The fraud charge was for misrepresenting the financial records of one of his companies, while both corruption charges related to undue payments which Shaik had made to Zuma. Between 1995 and 2002, Shaik paid Zuma a total of R1.28 million, either directly or through his companies, in the knowledge that Zuma would be unable to pay him back. The court found that this suggested that the payments had been made in anticipation of some business-related benefit that Zuma could deliver through his political office and connections. Separately, from the year 2000, Shaik also facilitated a pre-arranged annual payment of R500,000 from Thales to Zuma, made through Shaik's business accounts. The court concluded that the annual payments were intended to purchase Zuma's assistance in protecting Thales from investigation and in improving its profile for future government tenders. This conclusion was supported by the infamous "encrypted fax."
The judgement in the Shaik case, written by judge Hilary Squires, mentions Zuma by name 471 times. Although it does not explicitly allege a corrupt relationship between Zuma and Shaik, it refers to the "mutually beneficial symbiosis" between them:It would be flying in the face of commonsense and ordinary human nature to think that [Shaik] did not realise the advantages to him of continuing to enjoy Zuma's goodwill to an even greater extent than before 1997; and even if nothing was ever said between them to establish the mutually beneficial symbiosis that the evidence shows existed, the circumstances of the commencement and the sustained continuation thereafter of these payments, can only have generated a sense of obligation in the recipient [Zuma].
2005–2006: First indictment
In the aftermath of the Shaik trial, President Thabo Mbeki fired Zuma from the deputy presidency, and on 20 June 2005 NDPP Vusi Pikoli announced that the NPA would prosecute him on corruption charges. A provisional indictment was served on Zuma in November, mirroring the indictment earlier served on Shaik, and arms company Thint (a local subsidiary of Thales) was charged as his co-accused. However, in July 2006, the NPA applied for a postponement, pending the finalisation of the indictment. The indictment was apparently obstructed by delays in securing evidence and in pending appeals by Shaik, Zuma, and Thint. Shaik was appealing his conviction, while Zuma and Thint were challenging the legality of a series of search-and-seizure raids, carried out by the Scorpions in August 2005, on various premises including homes and offices of Zuma, his lawyers, Shaik, and Thint director Pierre Moynot.
September 2006: Charges struck off
Zuma and Thint opposed the state's application for postponement and applied for a permanent stay of prosecution, which would have seen the charges permanently invalidated. On 20 September 2006, the Pietermaritzburg High Court dismissed the state's application for a postponement and, when the NPA indicated that it was not prepared to proceed with the trial, struck the matter off the roll. This rendered moot the application for a permanent stay. The presiding judge said that, given the NPA's lack of a final indictment, the prosecution had been "anchored on unsound foundations" from the start. However, the NPA indicated that it would consider reinstating the charges, and on 8 November 2007 the Supreme Court of Appeal ruled in the NPA's favour in confirming the legality of the August 2005 raids, thus opening the possibility that the evidence seized could be used to prosecute Zuma and Thint in the future.
2007–2009: Second indictment
On 28 December 2007, just over a week after the ANC National Conference at which Zuma had been elected ANC president, acting NDPP Mokotedi Mpshe announced that the charges against Zuma and Thint had been reinstated, and Zuma was served with another indictment. He faced twelve fraud charges, two corruption charges, and one charge each of racketeering and money laundering. A conviction and sentence to a term of imprisonment of more than one year would have rendered Zuma ineligible for election to Parliament, and consequently he would not have been eligible to serve as president of South Africa following the 2009 elections, in which he was expected to stand as the ANC's candidate.
September 2008: Charges declared unlawful
Zuma revived the challenge against the legality of the 2005 raids, but the appeal was conclusively rejected by the Constitutional Court in July 2008. In the interim, however, Zuma had applied to have the charges against him, due to be heard in court from 4 August, declared invalid and unconstitutional. On 12 September 2008, Pietermaritzburg High Court judge Chris Nicholson ruled in his favour, setting the charges aside as unlawful on the grounds that the NPA had not given Zuma a chance to make representations before deciding to charge him. According to Nicholson, the audi alteram partem principle and Section 179(5)(d) of the Constitution required that such an opportunity be extended to Zuma. The state was directed to pay Zuma's legal costs. Nicholson stressed that Zuma's guilt or innocence was irrelevant to his ruling, which turned on a merely procedural point.
However, Nicholson also commented on the impartiality of the NPA, saying that he believed that political interference had played a significant role in the decision to reinstate Zuma. Zuma's supporters – including prominent figures such as lawyer Paul Ngobeni – had previously alleged that the charges were the result of a political conspiracy by Zuma's political rival, President Mbeki. Nicholson appeared to concur, saying that he was "not convinced that the applicant was incorrect when he averred political meddling in his prosecution" and that the case seemed to be part of "some great political contest or game." In paragraphs 210 and 220, the judgement reads:The timing of the indictment by Mr Mpshe on 28 December 2007, after the President suffered a political defeat at Polokwane was most unfortunate. This factor, together with the suspension of Mr Pikoli, who was supposed to be independent and immune from executive interference, persuade me that the most plausible inference is that the baleful political influence was continuing. [...]
There is a distressing pattern in the behaviour which I have set out above indicative of political interference, pressure or influence. It commences with the 'political leadership' given by [Justice] Minister [Penuell] Maduna to Mr Ngcuka, when he declined to prosecute the applicant, to his communications and meetings with Thint representatives and the other matters to which I have alluded. Given the rules of evidence the court is forced to accept the inference which is the least favourable to the party's cause who had peculiar knowledge of the true facts... It is a matter of grave concern that this process has taken place in the new South Africa given the ravages it caused under the Apartheid order.
January 2009: Charges reinstated on appeal
Both the NPA and Mbeki applied to appeal Nicholson's ruling. Mbeki, whom the ANC National Executive had asked to resign as a direct result of the ruling, said in an affidavit:It was improper for the court to make such far-reaching 'vexatious, scandalous and prejudicial' findings concerning me, to be judged and condemned on the basis of the findings in the Zuma matter. The interests of justice, in my respectful submission would demand that the matter be rectified. These adverse findings have led to my being recalled by my political party, the ANC – a request I have acceded to as a committed and loyal member of the ANC for the past 52 years. I fear that if not rectified, I might suffer further prejudice.The Supreme Court of Appeal heard the NPA's application from November 2008, and on 12 January 2009 Deputy Judge President Louis Harms ruled in the NPA's favour, overturning Nicholson's ruling. On the central question of whether the charges against Zuma had been unlawful, the court found that Nicholson had misapplied Section 179 of the Constitution: the NPA had not been obliged to invite representations from Zuma before reinstating the charges against him. On the further challenge to Nicholson's allegations of political interference, the court found that such allegations were not properly relevant to Nicholson's decision, had not been demonstrated in the evidence, and reflected the fact that the lower court had "overstepped the limits of its authority." Harms said that findings about political meddling by Mbeki and others appeared to have derived from Nicholson's "own conspiracy theory," and that:Political meddling was not an issue that had to be determined. Nevertheless a substantial part of [Nicholson's] judgement dealt with this question. He changed the rules of the game, he took his eyes off the ball.In a statement, the ANC responded to the ruling by reiterating its support for Zuma as its presidential candidate in the 2009 elections.
April 2009: Charges withdrawn
In subsequent months, although the Supreme Court of Appeal's judgement cleared the way for Zuma's trial to continue, new allegations of prosecutorial misconduct emerged. These allegations revolved around the so-called spy tapes: recordings of intercepted phone calls which Zuma's lawyers claimed showed that the head of the Scorpions, Leonard McCarthy, had conspired with Ngcuka, the former NDPP, over the timing of the charges laid against Zuma, in service of Mbeki's political advantage. On 6 April 2009, Mpshe, still the acting NDPP, announced that all charges against Zuma (and against Thint) would be dropped, prosecution being "neither possible nor desirable." He stressed that the decision was due to abuses which had "tainted" the legal process, and that it did not amount to a substantive acquittal. The charges against Zuma were formally withdrawn in the same week that he was inaugurated as national president.
2018–present: Third indictment
April 2016: Withdrawal of charges overturned
Shortly before the NPA its decision in April 2009, at least two political parties had intimated that they would consider legal action of their own should the charges be dropped. The Democratic Alliance (DA) subsequently filed an application for a judicial review of the NPA's decision, with party leader Helen Zille claiming that Mpshe had "not taken a decision based in law, but [instead had] buckled to political pressure." The case was set to be heard on 9 June 2009. However, following initial delays by the NPA and legal challenges to the application by both Mpshe and Zuma, judgement was not laid down until April 2016, when Zuma was well into his second term as president.
On 29 April 2016, the Pretoria High Court ruled that the NPA's decision in 2009 to drop the charges against Zuma had been irrational. Judge Aubrey Ledwaba said that Mpshe had acted "alone and impulsively" in deciding to drop the charges, when he should properly have followed legal processes and approached the courts in regard to the spy tapes allegations. The decision to withdraw the charges was therefore set aside, and the NPA, under the new NDPP Shaun Abrahams, had to decide anew whether it would reinstate the charges.
Zuma and the NPA unsuccessfully challenged the high court's ruling in the Supreme Court of Appeal, which dismissed their application with costs on 13 October 2017. Zuma was given a 30 November deadline to present reasons to the NPA as to why his prosecution should not proceed.
March 2018: Charges reinstated
On 16 March 2018, just over a month after Zuma resigned from the presidency, Abrahams announced that Zuma would again face prosecution on 16 criminal charges – 12 charges of fraud, two of corruption, and one each of racketeering and money laundering, just as in the 2006 indictment. His first court appearance was on 6 April in the Durban Magistrates' Court. The trial began on 26 May 2021 in the Pietermaritzburg High Court, and he has pleaded not guilty. However, between 2018 and the present, Zuma has launched a series of pre-trial court applications which some have dubbed his Stalingrad defence.
Application for stay of prosecution
On 11 October 2019, the KwaZulu-Natal High Court dismissed Zuma's application for a permanent stay of prosecution, pointing out that it relied on several arguments that had already been rejected by other courts presiding over earlier applications in the case. Thales lost on a similar application, and, on 22 January 2020, also failed to have racketeering charges against it struck down. Both the high court and the appellate court denied Zuma leave to appeal the ruling on the stay of prosecution.
Warrant of arrest
A warrant was issued for Zuma's arrest after he failed to appear in court in February 2020. His legal team claimed that he was in Cuba receiving medical treatment. The warrant was suspended until May, at which point, due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, it was stayed until June, when it was cancelled because Zuma had produced a medical certificate verifying his illness.
State liability for legal costs
A separate series of applications concerned the payment of Zuma's legal fees. In 2006, following the first indictment, President Mbeki had signed an agreement stipulating that the state would pay Zuma's legal fees. In December 2018, the Pretoria High Court overturned the agreement, finding that "the state is not liable for the legal costs incurred by him in his personal capacity." Zuma unsuccessfully appealed the ruling in the Supreme Court of Appeal, opposed by both the DA and the Economic Freedom Fighters. The court found on 13 April 2021 that the state was not responsible for financing his legal defence, that he should repay funds to the state, and that he should incur punitive costs for having accused the judges of bias. The state's contribution to Zuma's legal fees has been estimated at between R16.78 million and R32 million.
Application for the removal of Billy Downer
In May 2021, shortly before the long-delayed corruption trial was due to start, Zuma applied for the removal of prosecutor Billy Downer from the proceedings. He filed a special plea in terms of Section 106 of the Criminal Procedure Act, asking for Downer's removal from the case and for his own immediate acquittal if the plea was accepted. Among other things, Zuma claimed that Downer lacked the proper authority to try the case, but the NPA said that Downer has been working on the Arms Deal case for close to 20 years and is duly mandated to prosecute it. Downer also denied Zuma's allegations that he is not impartial and is personally obsessed with prosecuting Zuma.
On 26 October 2021, the court dismissed the application. Zuma is currently seeking leave to appeal the decision in the Supreme Court of Appeal, but the NPA has opposed the application, claiming that it is one of many applications brought by Zuma "which have had the effect of obstructing and delaying the start of the criminal trial on the merits of the criminal charges against him." High court judge Piet Koen is expected to deliver judgement on that application on 16 February. Zuma also laid criminal charges against Downer in October 2021, claiming that Downer had leaked confidential information about the case to the media.
Barring an appeal, the corruption trial is set to resume on 11 April 2022.

Hans Poppilman (born 1574) was a Danish cook who served Anne of Denmark in Scotland and England.
He came to Scotland with Anne of Denmark, bride of James VI, in May 1590. He was then aged around 16, working for Hans Drier, and progressed in her service to become her Master Cook.
Anne of Denmark also had a female Danish cook called Marion in her service in her first years in Scotland. She was a bedchamber servant. Anne of Denmark gave her a gift of relatively simple clothes made of black taffeta and London cloth, a costume given to the other serving women or "damsels" of her chamber. Nothing else has been discovered about Marion.
Lists of the Scottish household mention five salaried positions in the queen's kitchen; the Master Cook, the foreman or Master Cook's servant, and three or four servant cooks, with the "turnebroches" whose main or notional duty was to turn the spit. There would have been many other workers. Detailed records of the food bought for the queen's household in 1598 survive in the National Records of Scotland, including extra purchases and sweetmeats for the wedding feast of her chaplain Johannes Sering held at Holyrood Palace.
James VI asked Chancellor Maitland to resolve issues over pay in the royal households in April 1591 after some of the queen's kitchen staff deserted their posts. They said their conditions or terms of employment were not met, and would not make the supper ready. The master cook and his boy (probably Hans Drier and Poppilman) had to do the job of the absent kitchen aids and dress the food for the table. James VI reminded Maitland of promises he had made to Anne of Denmark's mother, Sophie of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, writing in connection with personal honour and promised livery payments, "Suppose we be not wealthy, let us be proud poor bodies".
At first, as foreman cook, Poppilman's allowance of livery clothes was £40 Scots, the value of two common garments "according to the custom of Denmark", to be paid by the treasurer. At the end of 1591, Hans Drier, recorded as "John Freis", received £200 Scots in cash as equivalent for livery for himself and his two "childer" or "boys", the servant cooks. At this time the expenses of the royal households and food consumption were scrutinised for savings. Wages in other years, and for Poppilman, do not seem to have been individually recorded. Payment of the Danish liveries could be made in clothes or cash alternatives. When Poppilman was promoted, Anne of Denmark bought clothes as a gift for him, including a cloak made of black London cloth, trimmed with Spanish taffeta, and a fustian doublet.
The city of Edinburgh held a banquet for Anne of Denmark's brother, the Duke of Holstein at Riddle's Court on 2 May 1598. There was both "great solemnity and merryness". Poppilman was paid £10 Scots. The kitchen fireplace was recently rediscovered and can be seen a cloakroom. The banquet involved sugar confections and sweetmeats made by a Flemish confectioner, Jacques de Bousie, who was a favourite of the queen. He was paid £184 Scots for sugar works, one of the most costly items on the bill. Wine was sweetened and spiced to make Hippocras by two apothecaries, John Lawtie and John Clavie, and a third apothecary, Alexander Barclay, made two pints of "vergeis" and a mutchkin of perfumed rose water. Two French specialists, Estienne Piere and Robert Barbier, prepared the table linen and napkins. The account of the expenses of the banquet is held by Edinburgh City Archives.
Poppilman came with Anne of Denmark to England at the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Hans Poppilman, one of the queen's French musicians Louis Richard, and a French servant, Arthur Bodren, were naturalised as denizens of England fifteen years later in July 1618. Bodren kept some household accounts. He was involved in the repair and refashioning of the queen's jewellery, and gave the architect Inigo Jones money for his work for the queen.
After Anne of Denmark's death in 1619, Poppilman sent a petition for payment to King James mentioning that he had started his career as a cook in the service of Anne's father, Frederick II of Denmark. He was married with children. His wages or fees had been paid by the king's household, not the queen's. Poppilman, as the queen's master cook, was awarded an annuity of £50.

Proximity is an album by drummer Andrew Cyrille and saxophonist Bill McHenry. It was recorded in November 2014 at Brooklyn Recording in Brooklyn, NY, and was released by Sunnyside Records in 2016.
Reception
In a review for All About Jazz, Budd Kopman wrote: "the session is very atmospheric and concentrated... The sound is wide and large, rather than sharp and concentrated, but this diffuse sound paradoxically is highly focused... The rather sparse music of Proximity is... captivating and actually a very emotional experience that feels to be almost like being there." In a second review for the same publication, Glenn Astarita commented: "McHenry's full-bodied tenor sound is occasionally mellowed via his light-hearted dialogues with Cyrille's poetic and overtly melodic fills, countered by many bristling improv segments. Even without a bassist, the musicians still manage to sustain a tightknit working relationship along with a capacious backdrop... these jazz masters transmit a compassionate and indisputably upbeat mindset from start to finish."
Writing for PopMatters, Will Layman stated: "Proximity... is... more entertaining than most jazz recordings. Both of these musicians are rich in wit and play, so every second of their interaction is like a chase between cat and mouse. They dash and dip, push and pull... Highly recommended."
In an article for NPR Music, Kevin Whitehead remarked: "Proximity is all about the drums and their melodic potential... his trap set is fully exposed and saxophonist Bill McHenry doesn't get between it and us. Cyrille's tour de force is his drum-set version of Leadbelly's dance ditty 'Green Corn.' The clackety playing on the rims harks back to early jazz great Baby Dodds."

Production
The film was shot on Gold Canyon, Arizona from September 28 to October 21, 1998.
Reception
David Parkinson for Radio Times gave the film three out of five stars, praising Linda Hamilton's performance, saying "Linda Hamilton gives a credible performance", but criticized that the story "is somewhat diminished by the lowbrow TV-movie approach that includes corny flashbacks."
Writing for Variety, Laura Fries gave the film a positive review, with her summary reading, "Although this movie touches on familiar themes often exploited in the movie of the week genre, 'Point Last Seen' is by no means your typical woman in jeopardy pic. Deliberately paced, this drama benefits from Ronni Kern's intelligent script, based on the nonfiction book by Hannah Nyala, and an understated but emotional performance by Linda Hamilton."

Ochrolechia africana, commonly known as the frosty saucer lichen, is a species of crustose and corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Ochrolechiaceae. It is a widely distributed species, found in tropical and subtropical areas of southern Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, and South America. The lichen is characterized by the presence of a white "frosty" or powdery apothecia.
Taxonomy
The lichen was scientifically described as a new species in 1926 by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio. The type specimen was collected by mycologist Paul Andries van der Bijl from South Africa, from "Durban Trunk of tree" in 1921. The specific epithet refers to the type locality. A common name used in North America is "frosty saucer lichen".
Description
Ochrolechia africana has a crustose, yellowish-grey to gray thallus with a surface texture ranging from smooth to warted (verruculose or verrucose). The apothecia tend to be under in diameter, and have thick margins; they are often covered with a "frosty"-looking pruina, although there are forms that lack pruina. The algal layer makes an almost complete layer under the hypothecium, forming abundant but discontinuous clumps. The ascospores measure 43–67 by 18–30 μm.
Ochrolechia africana contains several secondary chemicals: the orcinol depsides gyrophoric acid, lecanoric acid, 5-methyl-O-methylhiascic acid, 4,5-di-O-methylhiascic acid, and the xanthone lichexanthone. It is this latter compound that causes the lichen to fluoresce bright yellow when shone with a UV light.
The Chinese alpine species Ochrolechia alticola is somewhat similar in appearance to O. africana, but differs in the C+ red reaction of the apothecial margin cortex, the absence of 5-O-methylhiascic acid, as well as its habitat.
Habitat and distribution
Ochrolechia africana is a widely distributed species, found in tropical and subtropical areas of southern Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, and South America. Reported as new to China in 2013, it is one of about 25 Ochrolechia species known to occur in that country. It typically grows on both the wood and bark of deciduous trees, although it has also been recorded growing on rocks.
Irwin Brodo and James Lendemer reported on an atypical population of Ochrolechia africana they found in the Coastal Plain of southeastern North America; these lichens were sorediate and fertile, rather than the typical asorediate and fertile population that was expected.
Parasites
Cornutispora lichenicola is a lichenicolous fungus that has been reported growing on Ochrolechia africana lichens in Bolivia. In North America, the fungus Roselliniopsis tropica has been found on O. africana populations in the southeastern United States; infection by the fungus results in the formation of swollen gall-like structures on the lichen thalli. In the Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka districts of India, a new species of lichenicolous fungus, Lichenodiplis ochrolechiae, was found infesting the thallus and apothecial discs of local O. africana populations.

The 9th Infantry Regiment (), later the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Lithuanian Duke Vytenis () was an infantry regiment that served in the Lithuanian Army during the Interwar period.
History
The regiment began as the Separate Partisan Battalion, which had fought against the Red Army in the surroundings near Joniškėlis since April 1919. It's commander was Antanas Stapulionis. A detachment of the battalion fought together with Panevėžys group against the Bolsheviks near Vabalninkas, Pušalotas, Saločiai, Daugava. That same year, the unit was reformed into the Joniškėlis Battalion, with Aleksandras Jakaitis made its commander.
On 10 December 1919, when there 3 battalions were assembled, the Joniškėlis Battalion was made into a regiment. It officially received its official name of the Duke of Lithuania Vytenis on 16 February 1920. From January to November 1920, the 9th Regiment fought against Polish army units near Turmantas, Molėtai, Širvintos, Giedraičiai, and also defended Vilnius. During the battles, 24 soldiers were killed. Part of the regiment protected the demarcation line against Polish soldiers near Žasliai until 1923.
In 1927, the regiment's annual celebration day was set for August 26. On 22 September 1929, the regiment was presented with a flag with the inscription: "" (The Lithuanian will lay down his head for Vilnius for ages). Since 1924, the regiment was permanently stationed at Marijampolė.
On 15 June 1940, the regiment executed the verbal order of the Minister of Defence Kazys Musteikis to retreat towards Germany, however, the regiment was returned to Marijampolė. Karolis Dabulevičius was assigned as the regiment's commander, but he was replaced with Vladas Strimavičius after continuing unruliness in the regiment. The regiment's official name was removed on 25 July 1940, with the name being just 9th Infantry Regiment. After the Lithuanian People's Army was incorporated into the Red Army, the regiment was disbanded, with many of its officers and soldiers being repressed.

The Satanic Temple celebrates Sol Invictus among its official holidays, named after the cult of Sol and the related Roman sun god, Sol Invictus. It is described by the Temple as a "Celebration of being unconquered by superstition and consistent in the pursuit and sharing of knowledge".
The organization has sparked controversy in the past for their installation of religious displays in several statehouses during the holiday season, to be shown alongside displays from other religions.
In response to the controversy, Lucien Greaves, the spokesperson of The Satanic Temple, identifies the goal of the displays as religious expression and celebration of religious plurality, and has stated "Our real message is to reestablish pluralism".

Chief Ajani Anibijuwon Omisore (c. 1841 – 1941) was a Yoruba high-ranking Chief who served as Lowa of Ife during British colonial rule of Nigeria. He was a regent and kingmaker, crowning Ademiluyi Ajagun and Adesoji Aderemi as Ooni of Ife. He led and managed the construction of Ife's major road networks under the wishes of Ooni Ajagun and later founded the town of Ayepe-Olode, which he transformed from a desolate jungle that was previously used by animal hunters.
Renovation of Ife
Adelekan Olubuse I, the 46th Ooni of Ife, granted Omisore the high-status chieftancy title of Lowa, thus giving him great power and influence in Ife. Ooni Ademiluyi Ajagun desired a series of road networks that would connect Ife with neighbouring major towns. Omisore was appointed to lead a group of able-bodied youths from different Ife compounds to construct several intercity and intracity roads such as Ife-Ede road, Ife-Ondo road, and several township streets, which still exist in Ife today. His construction and engineering efforts earned him prestige and recognition, allowing him to climb the chieftancy hierarchy.
Founding of Ayepe-Olode
During his construction in Ife, he discovered a vast rural jungle and requested Ooni Ajagun for permission to farm on the land. Omisore was granted permission to gain ownership over the large range of land, which stretched from River Aaye to River Ahanran. Omisore cultivated portions of the land, attracting tenants who paid him fees to hunt and farm on his land. He constructed a residential abode made with the bark of trees called Epo-Igi in the Yoruba language. It was so much fascinating that travellers passing by, normally refer to the location as, Aba Elepo; (a village of hut with bark-tree). The village quickly grew as a commercial centre, attracting farmers and wildlife hunters from locations such as Oshun, Ondo, Igbomina, and Benin.
With the introduction of cocoa as a cash crop in 1910–1920, Omisore started planting several cocoa tree seedlings, which attracted farmers from various Yoruba towns. This also attracted more elites of Ife to his land, which he granted land to. In 1927, he gave portions of land to his in-law, Prince Adesoji Aderemi (who had married his daughter; Olapeju-mother of late Tejumade Alakija). Also given portions of land were Prince Adereti (father of Ooni Okunade Sijuwade)including late Chief Adetipe and later, a stretch of land was freely given to, the senior brother of his son-in-law; Prince Adewuyi Alausa(Snr brother to Ooni Aderemi).
Native Court
Omisore served as president of the Native Court, where he helped British colonial authorities resolve indigenous tribal disputes through their policy of indirect rule. Captain W.A. Ross, the British colonial Resident minister of Oyo Province, had written about Omisore twice in 1923 and 1925.
In 1923, Captain W.A. Ross described Omisore as follows:
In 1925, Captain W.A. Ross again wrote about Omisore:
However, British colonial authorities temporarily suspended Omisore from office and court for 3 months per request from Ooni Ajagun. His alleged offences were "his failure to attend the reconciliation meeting called at the Afin after a quarrel between the sons of the two men" and wearing a special gown "in the Ooni's presence to which the Ooni takes objection".
Legacy
In 1930, Prince Adesoji Aderemi ascended to the throne as Ooni, and Omisore was able to consolidate his growing influence. Omisore died in 1941. His personal family residence is located at Ogbon Oya, and is between 120 and 135 years old. and is constructed in the Brazilian architectural style. Omisore was the father of Oba David Olajide Omisore and the grandfather of Nigerian politician Iyiola Omisore, who served as Deputy Governor and senator of Osun State.

According to the current excavators Tell Zurgul covers 70 hectares with two mounds, one 15 meters high (Area A) and the other (Area B), about 150 meters to the south, to 5 meters. The western edge of the site has a 200 meter long feature (Area C) yet unidentified.
On January 31, 1885, the site, then called Surghul, was visited by William Hayes Ward. During the winter of 1913-14 Comte Aymar de Liedekerke-Beaufort visited Surghul. In 1926 the site was visited during an archaeological survey of southern Mesopotamia by Raymond P Dougherty of Yale University under the auspices of the American Schools of Oriental Research. He reported that it covered 200 acres and had two mounds, on 45 fet high and the other 25 feet high. There was a deep cut in the larger mound from the German excavations. The few scattered finds were mainly pottery shards, flint saw blades and broken bricks. Some bricks and a cone had an inscription of Gudea. The mounds were surrounded by water. In the 1970s American archaeologists working at nearby Lagash visited twice collecting 4 bricks and 12 cones.
The first excavations, by Robert Koldewey, occurred January 4 to February 1887 under the auspices of the Royal Prussian Museums for Berlin. Besides digging long deep trenches in Area A and Area B he collected 16 clay cones. A number of graves, both interments and cremations, were examined. Unfortunately, as often happens in these early works, very little is available in the way of excavation records from Koldewey's efforts. Beginning in 2015 Zhurgul has been excavated by Italian Archaeological Expedition, under the auspices of Sapienza University of Rome and Perugia University, led by Davide Nadali and Andrea Polcaro. The most recent excavation season was in 2019.
History
Excavations have found stratified evidence of occupation in the Ubaid period, Late Uruk period, Early Jemdet Nasr, and Early Dynastic I period. Out of context finds and textual evidence support a strong occupation in the Early Dynastic III Period of the First and Second Dynasties of Lagash. The former is represented by inscriptions of Enmetena and the latter by those of Gudea who was responsible for major rebuilding of Sirara, the temple of the goddess Nanshe originally built by Ur-Nanshe. The city was recorded as having been destroyed by the Elamites about the time of the fall of the Third Dynasty of Ur. The ‘The Lamentation over the Destruction of Sumer and Ur' has Nanshe declaring "Alas, the destroyed city, my destroyed temple!". The excavators have speculated that the paucity of Early Dynastic III remains is the result of that destruction.

Diversibipalium mayottensis is a species of predatory land flatworm, found only in Mayotte.
Description
The species is about 30–45 mm in length. The headplate is a rusty-brown colour. The rest of the body has a characteristic colour pattern, with its dorsal side being an iridescent blue–green ("dark turquoise glitter").
The species was formally described in 2022 after a comparative study of several species of land flatworms of the subfamily Bipaliinae, including the description of the complete mitochondrial genome in several species.
Distribution and origin
Diversibipalium mayottensis has been recorded only from Mayotte, a French island in the Mozambique Channel, where it was found the first time in 2015.
The origin of the species is unknown, but the scientists who described it hypothesized that it could have been brought from Madagascar, where other species of bipaliines are known.
Genetics and phylogenetic relationships
The mitochondrial genome of Diversibipalium mayottensis is circular, 15,989 base pairs in length and contains 12 protein coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes.
A phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genes and nuclear genes such as LSU and SSU found that Diversibipalium mayottensis was the sister group to all other species of hammerhead flatworms, suggesting that a new genus should be created to accommodate it but the scientists refrained from doing so in the absence of anatomical information. Therefore, the species was included in the genus Diversibipalium Kawakatsu et al., 2002, a collective group created to accommodate species whose anatomy of the copulatory apparatus is still unknown.

Johann Jakob Pfeiffer (; 6 October 1740 – 26 November 1791) was a German evangelical theologian who taught at the University of Marburg.
Life and career
Pfeiffer was the son of Cassel master dyer, Hieronymus Pfeiffer (30 December 1714 – 3 July 1774) and his wife Anne Elisabeth (née Schaumberg; 15 March 1718 – 23 March 1779). He was educated in his Cassel's preparatory schools, and in 1755 he enrolled at the Collegium Carolinum. In 1757, Pfeiffer began his studies at the University of Marburg. At university, he studied theology, mathematics, logic, and metaphysics. By 1760 he was attending the University of Göttingen and continuing his education in Theology under Samuel Christian Hollmann, Johann David Michaelis and Christian Wilhelm Franz Walch. By the next year, he had returned to his home as a preaching candidate, and in 1761 he was ordained and given a position as a preacher in Cassel. When he wasn’t actively preaching, he was known to continue his own theological education, as well as instruct his parishioners and neighbors in both Old and New Testament exegesis.
In 1765, Pfeiffer was assigned to a preaching position in Langenschwalbach. By his own testimony, taken many years later, the years he spent in Langenschwalbach were the happiest of his life. He returned to Cassel in 1769 to take up the position of preacher at Karlskirche, the central church of the Oberneustadt community.
In 1779, Pfeiffer was named director of the newly constructed Lyceum Fridericianum, but by December of that year, he had been appointed associate professor of Theology at the University of Marburg, replacing Heinrich Otto Duysing. From 1781 to 1790, he was the Dean of the Theology Faculty at the University. Pfeiffer was awarded his doctorate in Theology in 1784, and in 1789 was promoted to full professor. In addition to his duties as Dean and Professor, he also served as a Councilor of the Consistory, overseeing all evangelical protestant churches in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel.
On October 2, 1791, Pfeiffer performed the confirmation of Prince William II, Elector of Hesse, whose religious instructor he had been for most of the prince's adolescence. Two months later, he died due to complications from a chronic inflammatory illness, from which he had suffered for many years.
Family
Johann Jakob Pfeiffer married twice. On March 24, 1772 he married Lucie Rebecke (née Rüppel; 12 October 1752 – 11 January 1784) daughter of Johannes Rüppel, himself a prominent preacher and archdeacon of St Martin's Church, Kassel. Together they had the following children:
Anne Catharine Elisabeth (13 December 1772 – 28 May 1777)
Johanne Lucie Cornelie (3 May 1774 – 17 May 1796), married in 1792 to Georg Hermann Carl Kulenkamp, son of the jurist Friedrich Wilhelm Kulenkamp.
Martha Conradine (15 September 1775 – 3 April 1826) After her sister's death in 1796, she married her widower, Georg Kulenkamp.
Burkhard Wilhelm (7 May 1777 – 4 October 1852)
Carl Jonas (7 February 1779 – 3 May 1836), married August 7, 1808 to Maria Louis Theodora (née Merrem, 1786- 31 August 1827), daughter of Blasius Merrem.
Johann Georg Henrich (19 December 1780 – 27 January 1859)
Franz Georg (11 January 1784 – 15 April 1856)
Christian Hartman (11 January 1784 – 23 July 1844)
Lucie Pfeiffer died giving birth to twin sons, Franz Georg and Christian Hartmann. On April 16, 1785, Pfeiffer married again, this time to Sophie Christine (née Waitz, 26 February 1754 – 4 March 1826), daughter of Johann August Waitz of Schwarzenfels. They had two daughters:
Marianne Charlotte (16 February 1788 – 24 March 1863)
Caroline Catherine Louise Henriette (18 March 1790 – 5 February 1875)

L'heure mauve is the twelfth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Pierre Lapointe, released on February 7, 2022, through Pépiphonie and Bonsound. It was made to soundtrack Swiss artist Nicolas Party's exhibition L'heure mauve at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA), which will be held from February 12 to October 16, 2022. Among the 14 tracks, Lapointe covered songs by Félix Leclerc and Kurt Weill. The album will be released on vinyl in mid-2022.
Background
Lapointe was approached by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to compose the album, with Lapointe stating that he admires Nicolas Party's art. He intended to explore themes of "the ephemerality of existence, loving mourning and carnal desire" and "create an enveloping and dreamlike universe, which echoes the themes and the structure" of the exhibition. Each of the tracks soundtracks a different room of Party's exhibit, with visitors encouraged to plug in their headphones in each room.
The cover art is Party's Portrait avec serpents (2019).

The battle of Billot tower took place in 1703, during the war of the Camisards, when Huguenot rebels led by Jean Cavalier were ambushed in Bagard by Royalist troops.
Background
In late 1703, Camisard leader Jean Cavalier decided to launch an offensive against the Florentines, a Catholic militia mainly based in Saint-Florent-sur-Auzonnet, in response to Catholic attempts to suppress the Camisards. Teaming up with fellow rebel Salomon Couderc, he organized a troop of 1,200 men. Cavalier and his forces marched down to the Billot Tower, a castle located in the Bagard commune, between Alès and Anduze.
A nearby miller who overheard the plan sent a message to the marquis of Montrevel that thousands of Camisards had set up camp near the Billot tower. In the evening of April 29, Montrevel told his lieutenant-general, de Planque, to attack the rebels. Leaving Alès at 9:00 PM with 800 infantry and 200 dragoons , Cavalier encountered the Camisards at 11:00 PM.
Battle
The advancing royalist regiments included Marines, Royal-Comtois, Irish Legion, a Swiss regiment, and many others. The dragoons were split into three columns as they crossed the Gardon river to get to the tower. Lieutenant-general de Planque arrived at a road near Anduze with 400 footmen as the third column passed through Sommières. De Planque's column was the first to see combat after it ambushed a band of Camisards near Vermagtet farm. A Protestant vanguard tried to slow the troops down but failed. Cavalier assembled 400 soldiers outside the castle's gate as others tried to get inside the structure. Cavalier led an assault on the gate as the battle grew stronger. Seeing the grenadiers retreating, the Camisards took the opportunity to evacuate the castle, leaving behind about forty people who they couldn't rescue. Cavalier attacked the gate two more times but was driven back by the castle's defenders. Somewhere between three and four o'clock in the morning, the Camisards fled the castle to Saint Bénezet. The remaining rebels kept up the fight for eight more hours until grenadiers set fire to the building with their grenade. Only three Camisards managed to survive ; the others perished in the flames.
Casualties
The attackers lost two captains, one a lieutenant and the other a second-lieutenant. Seven officers from the Irish Legion were wounded, 26 grenadiers killed and 29 soldiers were injured. According to government estimates, 134 Camisards were killed on the first day, and 300 more died during the burning of Billot tower.Jean Cavalier estimated he had lost around a hundred soldiers, additionally claiming that over 1,000 of the opposing side's soldiers had been killed or wounded. The historian Pierre Rolland described Cavalier's casualty estimates to be an exaggeration.

Abditosaurus (meaning "forgotten reptile") is an extinct genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Tremp Group of Catalonia, Spain. The type and only species is Abditosaurus kuehnei. Phylogenetic analyses recover it within a clade of South American and African saltasaurines, distinct from other insular dwarf sauropods from the European archipelago. Abditosaurus inhabited the Ibero-Armorican Island, a prehistoric island made up of what is now Spain, Portugal, and southern France, and would have been the largest titanosaur species in its environment.
History of study
While prospecting for fossil mammals in 1954, German paleontologist Walter Georg Kühne on 25 September discovered the remains of a large titanosaur at the Orcau-1 locality of the Conques Formation of Catalonia, Spain. It was the first major sauropod find in Spain. During the initial two weeks of excavation Kühne managed to identify around ten bones, some of which were packaged and sent to the Instituto Lucas Mallada (ILM) in Madrid, while others remained at the site (jacketed for protection). Returning the following year, Kühne, alongside locals and researchers of the ILM, managed to identify ten more bones in addition to most of those left at the site. Like in 1954, some of the bones were transported to Madrid while the remainder were left at the site. These initial discoveries consisted of fragments of the illium, parts of the scapula, dorsal vertebrae, chevrons, a tibia, parts of the femurs and a complete humerus alongside undetermined bones. Although Kühne asked for additional excavations, funding had run out and work at the locality was stopped. In 1956, the fossil material recovered was assigned by Albert-Félix de Lapparent and Emiliano Aguirre to a new, but unnamed, species of the now dubious genus Hypselosaurus. It was not until 1984 and 1986 that additional expeditions to the area were conducted, helmed by Josep Vicenç Santafé of the Institut de Paleontologia de Sabadell, Barcelona, and assisted by researchers of the Institut d’Estudis Ilerdencs, Lleida. They identified a sternal plate and additional dorsal vertebrae. Another expedition was conducted from 2012 to 2014 by the Institut Català de Paleontologia, the University of Zaragoza and the Museu de la Conca Dellà. This expedition recovered elements left at the site by the 1955 and 1986 digs, with additional material of the limbs, tooth fragments, ribs and an articulated series of dorsal and cervical vertebrae. Subsequent research managed to discover some of the historical material. In 2017, part of the initial finds were described. This finding was shown in the 2017 documentary "Europe's Last Giant".
The type specimen, which has numerous accession numbers, is the most complete known European titanosaur skeleton, with the semi-articulated neck, preserving twelve of the estimated fourteen cervical vertebrae, being especially noteworthy. Complete and nearly complete sequences of neck vertebrae are very rare in sauropods; as of early 2022, only 27 sauropod specimens with complete or nearly complete necks were known.
Etymology
In 2022, the type species Abditosaurus kuehnei was named and described by Bernat Vila, Albert Sellés, Miguel Moreno-Azanza, Novella L. Razzolini, Alejandro Gil-Delgado, José Ignacio Canudo and Àngel Galobart. The generic name, Abditosaurus, means "forgotten reptile", and is derived from the Latin abditus, meaning "concealed," or "forgotten," as the fossil material was hidden for sixty years between the initial discovery and the last expedition that collected the last bones, and the Greek sauros, meaning "reptile". The specific name, kuehnei, honors Walter Georg Kühne, the discoverer of the type specimen.
Description
Abditosaurus is noted for its large size, and is the largest titanosaur from the Ibero-Armorican Island, a geological region composing most of Spain and Southern France. It is estimated to have reached a length of and mass of .
The holotype includes an ossified sternal rib and an ossified calcaneum, elements which hitherto had not been unequivocally identified in titanosaur specimens, leading to speculation that they had fully disappeared in the group. These bones probably ossified due to the advanced individual age of the holotype, which was also proven by its bone structure.
Classification
The discoverers of Abditosaurus interpreted it as a member of Saltasaurinae, a clade of titanosaurs found in South America and Africa. Their phylogenetic analysis recovered the Egyptian sauropod Paralititan as the sister taxon of Abditosaurus, with the Brazilian Maxakalisaurus as their next-closest relative. The clade uniting these three species, in turn, formed a sister clade to Saltasaurini. As such, Abditosaurus is not closely related to other European sauropods, the majority of which were recovered as opisthocoelicaudiines by their phylogenetic analysis.
Paleoecology
The only known specimen of Abditosaurus was found in the Conques Formation, which dates to the early Maastrichtian age of the Cretaceous. At this time, southern France, Spain, and Portugal formed an island, known as the Ibero-Armorican Island. Most titanosaur taxa of the Ibero-Armorican Island, such as Lirainosaurus, Atsinganosaurus, Garrigatitan, Ampelosaurus, and Lohuecotitan, were small or medium-sized. In contrast, Abditosaurus was significantly larger and lacked physiological adaptations to an island environment, suggesting that the species was a recent arrival in the ecosystem. It may be part of a broader trend of larger sauropods replacing smaller endemic species in Europe during the early Maastrichtian, as larger sauropods first appear in the Hațeg biota around the same time. Abditosaurus is associated with eggs of the oospecies Fusioolithus baghensis, which closely resemble eggs found in Gondwana.

Henriette Mankiewicz (born July 20, 1852 in Vienna as Henriette Tauber; died June 30, 1906 in Bad Vöslau) was an Austrian art embroiderer.
Early Life
Mankiewicz was the daughter of the stockbroker and writer Joseph Samuel Tauber (1824-1879) and his wife Louise, née Edle von Hönigsberg (1824-1894). Her great-grandfather Israel Hönig von Hönigsberg was a tobacco merchant and was the first Jew to be ennobled in Austria. The father's family was also of the Jewish faith . In 1872 she married the widowed Carl Mankiewicz (1834-1896) in Vienna. He served as Serbian consul general elect in Dresden, where the couple lived after their marriage. Her husband was buried in the New Israelite Cemetery in Dresden in 1896. She moved back to Vienna after his death and later converted to the Catholic faith. With Carl Mankiewicz she had a daughter Margarethe (1881-1938). She worked as a writer and translator and married the First Lieutenant and Serbian Consul General Ernst von Schuch. Margarethe von Schuch-Mankiewicz had also left Judaism in 1897 and lived in Rome from 1931 onwards.
Woman in art
Mankiewicz grew up in an art-loving family. However, as a woman she was not allowed to study in an institution, so she received private art lessons from teachers like Hans Makart, who portrayed her several times. Influenced by Makart's taste for refined luxury, from 1888 she specialized in embroidered works of art.
Mankiewicz made decorative panneaus, mostly with flowers and landscapes. Her works - often called needle paintings - were often a combination of different techniques - embroidery, painting and sewing on silk. Her works were shown in numerous German cities. At the Paris World's Fair in 1889, her works were on display in the Austrian section to acclaim. Subsequently, she was honored with a medal by the jury of the World's Fair and, at the suggestion of the painters Ernest Meissonier, Léon Bonnat and Émile Auguste Carolus-Duran, received the distinction of Officier de l'Academie. She received further medals in Prague and in the Netherlands. In 1894 she successfully exhibited her so-called giant paintings in Berlin. She also collected art, and donated the painting Houses in Argenteuil by Claude Monet to the National Gallery in 1898.
Mankiewicz maintained a literary salon that was known far beyond the city's borders. She was friends with the composer Gustav Mahler.

The 5th Infantry Regiment (), later the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Kęstutis () was an infantry regiment that served in the Lithuanian Army during the Interwar period.
History
The regiment began to be organized in Kaunas by the Commandant Officer of Kaunas, Kazys Škirpa, on 2 March 1919, by the order of the Minister of National Defense in Kaunas. Initially, it was called the Separate Kaunas Battalion. The 5th and 6th Infantry Companies and the 2nd Hussar Squadron were separated from the Kaunas Kommandantur. The infantry companies became the 1st and 2nd companies, which were soon joined by new volunteers.
On March 23, 20 soldiers from the Kaunas city Kommandantur training team and 16 soldiers from the grenadier team arrived. On March 28, these were joined by the Kaunas' training team's soldiers of the 1st and 4th Company, in addition to several volunteer machine gunners from Vilnius. The newly arrived 1st company was renamed as the 1st Company, the 4th Company as the 2nd Company, while the former 1st Company was renamed as the 3rd Company, the 2nd Company - the 4th. On 20 June 1919, this battalion was named the Vilnius Battalion with the Commander-in-Chief's Order No. 12. On 10 November 1919, by the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the Vilnius Battalion was renamed to the 5th Infantry Regiment. Battalions I and II were formed from the existing companies and one Kommandantur company from Seinai. Battalion III was formed in January 1920 from the Pasvalys Kommandantur and from the recruits of Telšiai County. On 7 February 1920, by the No. 239 Order to the Lithuanian Army, the 5th Infantry Regiment was given the name of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Kęstutis.
Battles
The regiment fought against the Bolshevikis at , , Zarasai, . At the end of 1919, the regiment fought against the Bermontians near Šiauliai. In 1920, the regiment fought against the Polish army near Seinai, Augustavas and fought in the Battle of Beržininkai. In November 1920, the regiment guarded the demarcation line at the sector of Dubingiai-Zarasai. From 1922, the regiment was stationed in Upper Panemunė. The regiment was part of the 2nd Infantry Division.

Kerberos was a large-bodied carnivorous mammal belonging to the order Hyaenodonta. The genus includes a single species, Kerberos langebadreae, from the Eocene of France. It represents one of the oldest members of the hyaenodont subfamily Hyainailourinae that have been recorded in Europe. Montespieu, the locality where Kerberos was found, is part of the “Castrais” fauna which is thought to be of Bartonian age.
Many hyaenodont species are known only from fragments of the jaw or a few teeth. Kerberos represents the first instance where cranial, dental and postcranial material of an early hyainailourine have been found associated with each other.
Etymology
The genus name Kerberos comes from Cerberus, the hound of Hades, a multi-headed dog that guards the entrance to the Underworld in Greek mythology. The species name, langebadreae, is dedicated to the French palaeontologist Dr. Brigitte Lange-Badré, who contributed extensively to the knowledge of Eocene carnivorous mammals.
Description
The material that has been referred to Kerberos includes a nearly complete cranium, left and right halves of the lower jaw, a fibula and several foot bones including the astragalus, calcaneus, metatarsals 1-3 and two middle phalanxes.
Kerberos displays both primitive and derived features. Among the former is the anteriorly narrow jaw and the small space between the first and second lower premolars. The derived features include a premaxilla that is narrow along is full length as well as several dental characteristics. The skull of Kerberos is about 35 cm long, similar in size to that of a female brown bear. The snout is very short. The shape of the skull indicates large jaw muscles, suggesting that Kerberos had a powerful bite. The molars of Kerberos were cutting whereas the premolars display a shape and wear pattern more consistent with crushing action.
Body mass
Kerberos was a large hyaenodont and is thought to have weighed around 140 kg based on measurements of the teeth, skull and astragalus. This makes Kerberos one of the largest carnivores known from the Eocene of Europe.
Ecology
Both Kerberos and Paroxyaena were much larger than the proviverrine hyaenodonts that lived in Europe at the same time and are therefore unlikely to have been in direct competition with them. The small proviverrines may have even been their prey. Based on the neck vertebrae of closely related hyaenodonts, it is thought that Kerberos and its relatives had powerful necks which allowed them to restrain struggling prey. This, together with the powerful jaw muscles and crushing premolars, suggests that Kerberos was capable of both hunting and scavenging similarly to the modern spotted hyena. Unlike the modern hyena, however, the foot bones of Kerberos indicate that it had a plantigrade posture and was not an efficient runner. Kerberos likely preyed on animals which were larger than itself, such as ungulates like Choeropotamus, Lophiodon and Palaeotherium. Because of its large size it would have been an important apex predator.
Classification and phylogeny
The species Kerberos langebadreae was created along with the genus in 2015 by Solé and colleagues based on a fossil skull, lower jaw and a number of associated hindlimb elements. The fossils were discovered in 1981 by Dominique Vidalenc at Montespieu, near the city of Lautrec in the department of Tarn in southern France. They were shown to come from a hyaenodont and were referred to a new genus and species.
The original study placed Kerberos within the subfamily Hyainailourinae as more derived than Paroxyaena, Pterodon dasyuroides, Parapterodon and Pterodon africanus. This and later studies all agree that Kerberos is less derived than Pterodon phiomensis, Akhnatenavus, Leakitherium, Isohyaenodon and Hyainailouros, but disagree on its position among the other hyainailourine species. More recent studies, using Bayesian tip dating, placed Kerberos as the sister group to Pterodon dasyuroides, but basally of the other above-mentioned taxa.
Below is a cladogram showing the relationships of Hyaenodonta by Borths & Stevens (2019).

George William Molyneux (28 October 1751 – 27 July 1806) was an Irish politician.
Early life
Molyneux was born on 28 October 1751. He was the second son of Sir Capel Molyneux, 3rd Baronet and the former Elizabeth East.

Chautauqua ( ) Hall is a historic building in Pacific Grove, California, United States. It was built in 1881 by the Pacific Improvement Company for the Pacific Grove Retreat Association for presenting concerts and entertainment. On July 20, 1970, the building was declared a California Historical Landmark #839. In 2022 the hall hosts classes and programs for the city. This facility is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant.
History
The Chautauqua Hall was built in 1881 by the Pacific Improvement Company for the Pacific Grove Methodist-Episcopal Camp Retreat for seven years (1881-1888). It is located on the southwest corner of 16th Street and Central Avenue. It was called a "Hall in the Grove," and later became known as Chautauqua Hall. The wood-framed structure has a gable roof and board-and-batten siding. The hall served as a location for hosting the annual Chautauqua Recognition Day ceremonies. During the summer months, the large meeting hall provided a place for public lectures, and two classrooms for Sunday school services. During the winter months, the building served as a storage facility for the campground tents.
The hall dates to the days when Pacific Grove was the western headquarters for the Chautauqua Movement. The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) established a western branch at Pacific Grove in June 1879. Sunday school teachers of the local Methodist Church used the hall as a summer training camp. Known worldwide as 'Chautauqua-by-the-Sea,' it made Pacific Grove a cultural center for adult Christian education.
In 1883, Mary EB Norton instructed a course in general botany during the summer assembly. She had a place to house the Assembly's natural history collection. She held two sessions daily at the Chautauqua Hall.
In 1884, Carrie Lloyd opened a summer school for children in the hall. In 1885, the Pacific Grove School District was formed and classes were held in the hall for several years, until the Methodist Episcopal Church and Assembly Hall was built on Lighthouse Avenue in 1888.
By 1890, thousands of visitors came, via the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Pacific Steamship Company, to Pacific Grove's Chautauqua Methodist meetings. Orator and politician William Jennings Bryan, and William Rufus Shafter the "hero of Santiago," were among the guests that visited the Chautauqua Hall.
In 1898, the Epworth League, of the Methodist young adult association, came to Chautauqua Hall in the summertime. The California Methodist Conference, Farmers' Institute, The Salvation Army, and YMCA also came to the hall. John H. Vincent, founder of the Chautauqua movement, came for a visit to the hall and said, "The Hall in the Grove is the center of our charmed circle."
On July 20, 1970, the State Department of Parks and Recreation & City of Pacific Grove erected a landmark marker Number 839 at the Chautauqua Hall in Pacific Grove. The marker says:
The hall has been restored in 1988 and 2005. Today, the building is used as a dance hall, with a three-piece band.

Gabriel Morcillo Raya (Granada, 8th december 1887 - 22nd december 1973), was a Spanish painter.
Biography and works
He began his artistic training in the family environment in his aunt Paquita Raya's embroidery workshop and at the Granada School of Fine Arts, with Miguel Vico Hernández and José de Larrocha González as teachers. In 1907 he temporarily moved to Madrid to continue his studies as a disciple of Cecilio Plá, but for financial reasons he had to return to Granada. In 1910 he was awarded a grant from the Provincial Council of Granada that allowed him to continue his interrupted training in Madrid, the city where he remained until 1914.
After his return to Granada, he entered as an academic in: the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Granada and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Malaga. In 1918 he obtained a scholarship to the Academy of Painting in Rome, but he gave it up, initiating a period of atypical isolation for other painters in his class.
In 1927, by competitive examination to a position as professor of Decorative Painting and Natural Figure at the School of Arts and Crafts of Granada, which he had already been practicing as an interim professor since 1922.
His work is mainly composed of landscapes and portraits in which orientalism and sensuality have a great influence. He achieved great success in exhibitions held in New York, Buenos Aires or Venice.
Some of his canvases can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts in Granada, such as the one entitled El enano de Puerto Real (1916).

Seneca the Younger's Letter 47 of his Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, sometimes known as On Master and Slave or On Slavery, is an essayistic look at dehumanization in the context of slavery in ancient Rome. It was a criticism of aspects of Roman slavery, without outright opposition to it (Seneca was himself a slaveholder), and had a favorable later reception by Enlightenment philosophers and subsequently the 19th century abolitionist movement, though it has also been seen as a proslavery apologia, as well as in the light of the Stoic philosophical idea that "all men are slaves".
Historical Stoicism believed in human equality by natural law, but also recognized positive law. It was in disagreement with Aristotle's earlier concept of natural slavery. As such, Seneca made objection to behavior seen as particularly degrading such as corporal punishment and sexual exploitation of enslaved people, but not to the overall social system.
Influence
As a Roman letter expressing ambivalence about slavery from the 1st century, it has been compared to the early Christian writing in Paul's Epistle to Philemon. And Gregory of Nyssa in the 4th century condemns slavery outright, in rhetorical terms that may draw from Seneca, but that go beyond him.
In support of his argument, Seneca references the proverb totidem hostes esse quot servos ("as many enemies as you have slaves"), cited by many Europeans in the early Atlantic slave trade as a caution against slave rebellion.
Hegel's master–slave dialectic in The Phenomenology of Spirit of 1807 picked up the philosophical theme, later commented on by Jean-Paul Sartre in the 20th century.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau's sequel to the 1762 Emile, or On Education sees the novel's protagonist sold into the Barbary slave trade, and develops Seneca's ideas, while taking them further to show slavery as inherently unjust. The letter is quoted in the British abolitionist William Wilberforce's 1807 A Letter on the Abolition of the Slave Trade, and is mentioned in Pierre-Suzanne-Augustin Cochin's L'Abolition de l'esclavage in 1861 amid the American Civil War. Seneca's writings were popular with African American activists, and may have inspired the naming of the free settlement of Seneca Village in early 19th century New York City, a possible influence of the African Free School. At an 1855 raid in Washington, D.C., as police asked African American activists "whether they had anything to say", an activist simply placed three books on the desk: the Bible, Life in Earnest, and Seneca's Morals, and requested their examination.

Parish Gallery was a Washington, DC art gallery located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington. It was active from 1991 to 2013.
History
The Parish Gallery was founded by Norman Parish in 1991. Parish had moved to Washington, DC from Chicago in 1988, and opened the Parish Gallery in 1991. The gallery was described by The Washington Post as an art gallery "that spotlighted African American artists at a time when few other galleries concentrated on showing their work." The gallery closed in 2013 upon Parish's death.
Artists represented
In the 22 years that the gallery operated, it generally focused on African-American artists and artists of color, but overall exhibited the work of more than 170 artists from the United States, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, Morocco, Haiti, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, Spain, England, Russia, and France, including notable artists such as Sam Gilliam, Richard Mayhew, Willard Wigan, Lou Stovall, Percy Martin, Evangeline Montgomery, Victor Ekpuk, Lois Mailou Jones, Romare Bearden, Herbert Gentry, Bruce McNeil, and Wadsworth Jarrell.
Notable exhibitions
In a 1992 review, The Washington Post art critic noted that "It's all too seldom one gets the chance in Washington to see the work of Jamaican or other Caribbean artists in the intimate setting of a private gallery. It's therefore a treat to get acquainted with the works of Cecil Cooper, Kofi Kayiga and Bryan McFarlane at the Parish Gallery this month." In 1995, a different Washington Post art critic, in reviewing a show by New York artist Lorenzo Pace, wrote that "This is a remarkably effective exhibition, particularly given the small space and a medium that often appeals to the head rather than the heart." The same art critic also wrote in a different 1995 review that "Minimalism's antithesis, abstract expressionism, can be seen in recent paintings by Kathryn Henneberry being exhibited at Parish Gallery. They are wonderfully exuberant works, big, vivid fields of color that convey a sense of spontaneity and freedom. If minimalism comes mainly from the mind, Henneberry's works come from the heart and soul."
The Washington Post's 1996 review of Wadsworth Jarrell observed that "Jarrell's works still pulse with the repetitious rhythms, vibrant colors and geometric symbols that Africobra drew from African art."
A 2012 article about artist Maria-Lana Queen quotes a collector as stating that "When I looked at her work for the first time I was blown away by the color from this abstract artist." A review of British artist Willard Wigan that same year stated that "he works of groundbreaking British artist Willard Wigan inspire awe because they are so tiny."

The 6th Infantry Regiment (), later the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Duke of Pilėnai Margiris () was an infantry regiment that served in the Lithuanian Army during the Interwar period.
History
The regiment's date of establishment is considered to be 5 December 1918, when the order approving the formation of the 2nd Infantry Regiment was issued, as the 6th Regiment was formed from the 2nd Regiment's 1st Battalion. The regiment's soldiers fought against the Red Army from January to June in 1919: at Jieznas, Žiežmariai, Subačius. In June, the battalion was renamed to the Separate Marijampolė Battalion. It took part in the battles against the Bolsheviks, forcing them to retreat beyond the Daugava. On October 6, the Marijampolė Battalion was sent to Šeduva to fight the Bermontians. Later, the battalion, named the 6th Infantry Regiment, was dislocated in Kėdainiai. On 20 November 1920, the battalion was given the name of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Duke of Pilėnai Margiris.
In 1920, the regiment partook in battles against the Polish army, where the regiment was divided into smaller military units, frequently fighting as a part of various formations. At the end of the military operations, the regiment was deployed in Alytus, and disbanded on 31 August 1926 when military forces were being reduced.
In 1934, when the regiment was re-established, the nucleus was one of the 7th Regiment's battalions. In 1939, the 6th Infantry Regiment had two battalions, totalling 1,300 soldiers.
In the flag given to the regiment in 1937, the inscription was "Tau, tėvų žeme" (For you, the Land of my Fathers). In 1939 March, after the German occupation of the Klaipėda region, the regiment moved to Plungė, while its 2nd Battalion was deployed in Telšiai. It was part of the 3rd Infantry Division.

The Complete Uppsala Concert is a double-CD live album by Eric Dolphy. It was recorded on September 4, 1961, at Västmanlands-Dala Nation, Uppsala, Sweden, and was released by Gambit Records in 2005. The album, which features one original tune plus eight performances of standards, was recorded during Dolphy's second visit to Europe, and showcases local musicians Rony Johansson on piano, Kurt Lindgren on bass, and Rune Carlsson on drums.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Accompanied by an obscure but talented rhythm section... Dolphy really stretches out on five of the seven numbers, particularly during a 20-and-a-half minute version of his blues '245.' Other highlights include 'Laura' (featuring Dolphy unaccompanied on alto), 'Bag's Groove' (his only recording of that piece), and 'I'll Remember April'... Dolphy's improvisations are typically unpredictable and adventurous. The recording quality is decent, making this a good set to get after acquiring Dolphy's better-known sessions."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented: "The Uppsala concert tests the band, as was to happen time and again when Dolphy played with local rhythm sections, but they do a more than decent job of it and there are some nice things here."
Writing for All About Jazz, Andrey Henkin stated: "While not the revelation that Blue Note's The Illinois Concert was when it came out, this is good material to supplement the better recorded Berlin Concerts (Enja) or Eric Dolphy in Europe (Prestige)... Dolphy had the Midas touch with any material, and his presence made any group reach for the sublime. He gets the chance to stretch out in Sweden — several of the tunes well exceed ten minutes, providing fascinating opportunities to hear Dolphy working out ideas and concepts that would bear fruit for him in a couple of years."

Anna Nele Meckler is a Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Bergen, and is also affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. She specialises in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology, and leads multiple grants to develop new techniques to reconstruct past temperatures, most importantly clumped isotope thermometry. By analysing speleothems Meckler's team can identify how past levels of CO2 in the atmosphere correlate with temperature changes, which gives essential knowledge for predicting future climate change.
Education and career
Following her Master of Geoecology at the University of Bayreuth, Meckler completed her PhD dissertation in paleo-oceanography in 2006 at ETH Zurich, with Gerald Haug and Daniel Sigman as her supervisors. She continued to work there as a postdoctoral researcher, and then spent two years at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at California Institute of Technology, followed by a year as a guest researcher at the University of Oslo, and a second period at ETH Zurich, where she held a Marie Heim-Vögtlin grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation.
In 2015, Meckler won an ERC Starting Grant and moved to the University of Bergen, where she has been since, first as a researcher, then as an Associate Professor and Full Professor. She currently holds both an ERC Consolidator and a Norwegian Research Council grant to further her research.
