The Seidelmann 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Bob Seidelmann as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1977.
Production
The design was built by Seidelmann Yachts in Berlin, New Jersey, United States, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Seidelmann 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the standard keel and with the optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The portable-type head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is .
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216 and a hull speed of .
Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the Seidelmann Owners.
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: The S25's wide beam gives good space down below (though not as much as her comp[etitor]s). Worst features: Some owners complain about poor construction. With its relatively narrow waterline and soft bilges, the boat is tender in heavy air unless there is plenty of 'rail meat' on board."

Wolfert II van Borselen (c. 1280 - 1317) was lord of Veere and Zandenburg.
Family
Wolfert II van Borselen was a member of a large clan. He probably became an adult at about the same that his father Wolfert I was killed on 1 August 1299. At that time three groups of Van Borselens can be discerned:
The Van Borselen's of the main branch:
Floris van Borselen, lord of Borselen, Goes and Cloetinghe, later of Hulst (d. 1322), and his children:
Jan, mentioned 1290-1299
Pieter, mentioned 1299-1315
Elizabeth mentioned 1325
Hadewych mentioned 1325
From the previous generation, he left his second wife Catharina of Durbuy (d. 1328) as widow. His surviving brothers were:
Friar Hendrik Wisse van Borselen
Raas van Borselen, bastard brother
Jan Mulart van Borselen, bastard brother
Wolfert II and his siblings. These all descended from his father's first marriage with Sibilie.
Wolfert's sister Heylewijf married to Gerard van Voorne in 1297
Hendrik Wisse van Borselen, knight in 1303
Floris van Borselen a.k.a. Floris der Vere
Vranck van Borselen
Clays van Borselen founder of the Van Brigdamme branch
Cibilie, married to Jan van Culemborg.
Life
Late 1299: after the assassination of Wolfert's father
Wolfert II was first mentioned in 1303. This is a bit strange, because his father Wolfert had been killed in Delft on 1 August 1299. Indeed, Wolfert's younger brothers can be traced back earlier. Right after the assassination of Wolfert I, a number of his allies were imprisoned in Holland. John II, Count of Holland (1247-1304), regent for John I, Count of Holland (1284- 10 November 1299), was then said to have made a reconciliation between the Van Borselen's and the killers.
The Van Borselen's and their allies were then allowed to leave their prison under guarantee from their allies that they would soon be delivered back. On 26 September 1299 knights Raas van Borselen and Floris van Borselen and others bailed for Wolfert I's children Frank and Claas. That same day they bailed for Jan Mulart van Borselen, and Floris's son Pieter. On 11 October 1299 Frank and Clays van Borselen children of Wolfert, and Pieter son of Floris van Borselen, had to repeat these promises. At that moment, Frank and Claeys were in prison in Haarlem, and Pieter in The Hague. Also on 11 October Jan Mulart van Borselen gave the guarantee that he would return to his prison in Delft, and would deliver Frank and Claas children of his brother Wolfert, and Pieter son of Floris.
Obviously the brothers Wolfert II, Floris and Hendrik Wisse were not in Holland when their father was killed, and the same applied to their uncle Raas.
1300: Vengeance in Veere
After Wolfert I's death John III, Lord of Renesse had come back to Schouwen. When he could not come to terms with John II, he left Schouwen and tried to ally with the Van Borselens. In the Spring of 1300 the count then sailed from Zierikzee in the direction of Arnemuiden with an army. Near Veere the army made an abortive landing. The count then sailed ahead and went to Middelburg. When his brother Guy of Avesnes heard this, he followed with the rear of the army. This was decidedly beaten by the Zeeland army, many were killed, and Guy and many others were taken prisoner.
Amongst the prisoners were some that where responsible for Wolfert I's death. Dirk van Zandhorst, Floris and Wouter van Duvenvoorde, and Gijsbrecht Bokel and Filips van Warmond were wheeled in Veere in the week before 3 May. It is not known what Wolfert II's role was in these events.
1303 Flemish invasion
In 1303 Flanders conquered Walcheren and Veere with help of local allies. It led to the somewhat later Battle of Zierikzee. In 1303 Wolfert was mentioned in the last will of his brother Hendrik Wisse.
In 1308 Wolfert and his brothers were reconciled with William I, Count of Hainaut. In May 1309 there was a reconciliation about Wolfert I's death. Of the four brothers, Wolfert and Floris were mentioned as knights, Frank and Clays as squires. On the opposing side were: Philips van Duvenvoorde, Philips van Zanthorst, Wouter van Haerlem, Simon van Benthem, Philip Voerness, Vriesen van der Mye, etc. These had to pay 1,000 pounds to the Van Borselen's. On the other side, the Van Borselen's had to pay 3,000 pounds for the events at Veere.
Marriage
In about 1312 Wolfert II married Aleid (c. 1290 - 1351), a bastard daughter of John II, Count of Holland. There was papal dispensation because they were related in the fourth degree.
Last will
On 30 May 1316 Wolfert II made a contract about his father's estate with his brothers Sir Florence, Frank and Claas van Borselen. This also involved some of the dower of the Lady of Voorne, wife of Wolfert I. It is assumed that this contract was made because Wolfert II foresaw his death, because Wolfert II died shortly after. This happened before 6 April 1317, because on that day count William referred to his sister as widow of Wolfert van Borselen.
After Wolfert's death Aleyd remarried to Otto van Buren. In 1327 she was referred to as Lady of Zandenburg and of Buren.
Offspring
Wolfert I and Aleid had only:
Wolfert III van Borselen.

Nova Sich or Pidpilnenska Sich ( or ) was the administrative and military center of the Zaporozhian Cossacks in 1734–1775, established after the return of the Zaporozhian Lowland Army to the Russian protectorate as a result of the signing of the Lubny Treaty. The last Zaporozhian Sich was located on a large peninsula, washed by the river Pidpilna (a tributary of the Dnieper).
Establishment
Nova Sich was founded with the permission and under the supervision of the Russian government on March 31, 1734, by Ataman-Hetman I. Malashevich on the Right Bank of the Dnieper in the Great Flood, which occupied 26 thousand acres.
The basis for the continued existence of the Nova Sich as a territory was signed in 1734, the Lubny Treaty on the recognition of the Russian protectorate by the Cossacks.
To oversee the actions of the Cossacks, the imperial government built a fortification 2 km from the Nova Sich with two half-bastions and a permanent garrison - the so-called Novosichensky retransmission.
According to historians, the Novosichensk retrenchment was erected in the Sich by the imperial government for the ostentatious purpose of helping the Cossacks in their war with the Ottomans, but in reality for the hidden purpose of keeping them in their hands. However, the Cossacks well understood the reason for the construction of the Russian citadel, expressing their dissatisfaction with the words: "We have a Moscow sore liver." Given the historical events that took place during the existence of the Nova Sich, we must recognize that the imperial government achieved its goal by dissuading the Sich from participating in the nationwide struggle against deprivation.
Location and components of the Sich
On three sides, Sich was surrounded by a tributary of the Dnieper River Pidpilna, which sailed Zaporozhye seagulls and Turkish and Greek merchant ships (tumbasy), which sailed to the Sich harbor in the river bay Ustup. On the north - eastern side of the underground separated branch - the river Sysyna, which flows into the Dnieper.
Sich was a city - a fortress surrounded by a rampart and palisades. The Underground Sich consisted of three parts: the suburbs, or the so-called shop bazaar, where all tents and visitors had their shops and taverns for trade, where there were houses of market atamans and military cantary or keeper of scales. This suburb was called Hassan - Basha. From it began the gate that led to Kosh - the main fortification, where around the Sich Square were located 38 huts. The huts were spacious barracks. Between the huts of the Ustup Bay and the Podpilna River is the Inner Kish or Palanka, separated by a wall from the Outer Kosh. Palanka housed the houses of the Kosh Ataman and Sich officers, as well as the Sich Cathedral Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God, the military chancellery, the treasury and the houses of the clergy.
To the west of Kosh was the fortification of the Novosichensk retrenchment built by the tsarist government to control Sich. Here was a Russian commandant with a garrison of land militia regiments.
History
It is noteworthy that it was during the existence of the Nova Sich that an independent Cossack-military group called the Haidamaky emerged. The Haydamatsky movement began in 1734 with the inaction of the first Novosichensk Ataman-Hetman I. Malashevych in the protection of the rights and freedoms of the Ukrainian people, when in 1734-1738 large detachments of insurgents led by G. Goly, M. Golim, M. Mane, S. Chalym and others.
An epidemic broke out in the Sich in 1760, and entry and exit from the Sich were banned.
In 1768 a Cossack revolt broke out (the so-called "gray revolt"), during which the Kosh Ataman Kalnyshevskyi and the Cossack sergeant hid in the Novosichensk retrenchment. The rebels tried to choose Philip Fedoriv, but were quickly dispersed.
The Zaporozhian Army left the Nova Sich for the Russo-Turkish War of 1735–1739 and the War of 1768–1774.
Destruction
In early June 1775, by order of Catherine II, the Nova Sich was destroyed, and the Liberty of the Zaporozhian Army was annulled. After the end of the Russo-Turkish War (1768-1774), in which the Zaporozhian Cossacks took an active part, Lieutenant General Peter Tekeli led 10 infantry, 13 Russian Cossack, 8 cavalry regular regiments, 20 hussars, and 17 Picker squadrons to the Sich. Despite the small number, the Cossacks appealed to the Kosh Ataman Peter Kalnyshevsky for permission to defend himself to death. However, wealthy officers advised Koshov to give in without any conditions; in addition, the priest of the Sich Church of the Intercession, Volodymyr Sokalsky, began to ask not to go "brother to brother." In the end, the Kosh Ataman surrendered Sich without a fight. On June 4, 1775, the Nova (Pidpilnenska) Sich passed away.
In place of the Sich arose the village of Pokrovske, which in the 50s of XX century. found itself under the waters of the artificial Kakhovka Reservoir.

Five Lines (Pente grammai/Πέντε Γραμμαί) is the modern name of an ancient Greek board game which has been found on many ancient sites in Greece. Two players each move five counters on a board with five lines. The game is played with dice, though the exact method of advancing the pieces is not known. The winner is the first one to reach the sacred line, called the "sacred line". The number of lines do not appear to be strictly limited to five, although this is usually the norm.
The earliest known examples of game boards were found in Anagyros, Attica, and date to the 7th century BCE. The first written mention is by Alkaios, around 600 BCE. Later, Julius Pollux describes the game in Onomasticon (9.97-98). In particular Pollux writes: "on the five lines from either side there was a middle one called the sacred line. And moving a piece already arrived there gave rise to the proverb 'he moves the piece from the sacred line'." He does not give the game a name, but it is usually called Five Lines by scholars.

The Presbyterian Church of Grace (in Portuguese Igreja Presbiteriana da Graça ) is a denomination of orientation Pentecostal, founded on October 8, 1995, in Mogi das Cruzes , São Paulo from a group of dissident members of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, who adhered to the Pentecostal doctrine of Baptism with the Holy Spirit as the second blessing, after conversion. Despite adopting the Presbyterian name, it has no link with the doctrine Presbyterian, nor with the Presbyterian form of government, being the Episcopalism adopted.
The church is adept at the so-called Vision of the Five Ministries which constitutes, among other elements, in the ordination of contemporary apostles,
which is completely rejected by traditional Presbyterian denominations and generally adopted by neopentecostal denominations It has congregations spread throughout Brazil and also in Nepal.
History
The denomination emerged on October 8, 1995, in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo from a group of members of Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil who claimed to have been baptized by the Holy Spirit, seeking to form a church Pentecostal. From the growth of the main church, several churches were founded in other locations in Mogi das Cruzes and later in neighboring cities.
With the expansion of the denomination, it already had about 14 churches in 2016.
The current head office is located in Mogi das Cruzes, Rua .Francisco Martins Feitosa, 535 - Vila Lavínia
Doctrine
The IPG is a Pentecostal denomination. It affirms the doctrine of Trinity, Continuity, and the Five Ministries Vision. In this view, the church affirms that it is necessary for the church to have contemporary apostles (and therefore the church is included in the Apostolic Restoration Movement), in addition to teachers, pastors, prophets and evangelists. This makes the denomination completely different from traditional Presbyterian denominations.
The church uses a boat as its symbol and the slogan Ministry of Peace. The church does not own and does not subscribe to any of the historical confessions of faith of Presbyterianism such as the Westminster Confession of Faith which is the official confession of faith of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, Igreja Presbiteriana Independente do Brasil, Conservative Presbyterian Church in Brazil, Fundamentalist Presbyterian Church in Brazil and United Presbyterian Church of Brazil and is one of the hallmarks of Presbyterianism worldwide.

Archibald Smith Stores is a historic building in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, the addresses of some of the properties are East Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while others solely utilize the former King Cotton warehouses on River Street (as of February 2022, these are the Cinnamon Bear Country Store and the Cotton Exchange Tavern). The building was constructed in 1810, making it the oldest in-tact structure on East River Street. Due to the building's height, it is at this point (if travelling from the east) that Factors Walk changes from being single-level to become two levels.
The building stands adjacent to Lower Stoddard Range, the two separated only by steps leading to and from River Street and Factors Walk.
In September 1804, the building was one of several damaged (albeit "very partially") in the Antigua–Charleston hurricane. Some stores were swept away.
Archibald Smith was a member of Savannah's city council at the turn of the 18th century.

In human sexuality, paralysis, also known as rape paralysis, involuntary paralysis, fright (or faint), or tonic immobility, is a natural bodily survival reaction which can be automatically activated by the brain of a person who feels threatened by sexual violence. During this paralysis, one cannot move and cannot say anything, until one feels safe enough again. This survival reaction is a reflex; it automatically occurs without one's conscious choice, and one cannot stop it happening. Paralysis is a survival reaction which the brain applies to the body whenever all other options to avoid sexual violence (prevent, freeze (hypervigilance), flight, fight, compromise) have been exhausted.
In modern science, increasingly more is understood about when, how, and why paralysis occurs. However, public awareness about paralysis is still limited, which has negative consequences for the prevention, punishment and processing of sexual violence. Paralysis is sometimes also called freezing, although scholars prefer avoiding this word usage to prevent confusion with the 'freeze' (hypervigilance) response that usually precedes it (see below).
Scientific explanations
In the scientific and scholarly literature, distinctions are made between several survival reactions which humans (and sometimes non-human animals) either consciously or unconsciously employ in order to survive when confronted with a potentially life-threatening situation. In English literature, terms starting with the letter F are commonly used (V in Dutch literature):
Prevent (or avoid)
Freeze (also known as hypervigilance: to be cautious, aware or alert)
Flight
Fight
Compromise (or keeping the peace)
Fright, faint, paralysis, tonic immobility, or playing dead
In 1988, American psychologist J. A. Gray was the first to propose the sequence freeze, flight, fight, fright. He built on the existing concept in psychology (and later biology) of combing the responses flight and fight as a "fight-or-flight response" (first suggested by psychologist Walter Bradford Cannon in 1929; later scientists concluded that the usual sequence is first flight, and only then fight). A person sometimes still has the option of trying to keep the peace and negotiate a compromise with the person threatening them; by cooperating and offering concessions, the threatened person thereby tries to contain the damage that the aggressor is seeking to inflict on them. Paralysis or tonic immobility is the action threatened humans and animals perform whenever all other options have been exhausted: in physical contact with the aggressor, they pretend that they are dead, and thus attempt to survive the dangerous situation. Burgess & Holstrom (1976) proposed the term rape paralysis as a synonym; in the early 21st century the term tonic immobility became more common. Dutch psychologist Agnes van Minnen (2017) proposed prevent or avoid (voorkomen) as an extra strategy which precedes freeze or hypervigilance: try to prevent/avoid ending up in dangerous situations in the first place.
In child psychology, the terms freezing or freeze have sometimes been applied to the last phase of fright (tonic immobility, paralysis), but because the earlier phase of freeze (hypervigilance, being alert) has already been described by that word in ethology, this has caused a lot of confusion.
There is a fixed logic behind this sequence of survival reactions: the brain automatically considers all available options, according to the order of the reaction leading to the smallest risk of damage to the body to the reaction with the most risk. As soon as danger is detected, all possibilities are considered, and the safest available option is often employed unconsciously within milliseconds as a reflex. Paralysis is employed whenever all other options have been exhausted, and the brain decides to undergo the looming sexual violence in hopes of protecting the body against death. For example, if the threatened person would run too great a risk of being killed by trying to fight back against the aggressor, the brain could decide on paralysis in order to allow the body to survive. Aside from humans, tonic immobility is also a survival response in all other mammals, which is applied whenever fleeing or fighting would increase the risk of dying and would therefore not be the best options (anymore). Therefore, scientists think that tonic immobility as a survival response is the best explanation of why some humans paralyse when threatened by or during sexual violence.
Prevalence
A 2017 Scandinavian study reported that 70% of the 298 women who had visited an emergency clinic within a month of experiencing sexual violence had experienced 'significant tonic immobility' (paralysis) when it happened. 48% even reported 'extreme tonic immobility' during the sexual assault. Moreover, 189 (almost two-thirds) of the women developed a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression.
Social issues
Awareness of paralysis
In modern societies, a large portion of the population does not yet know what paralysis (sometimes called freezing) is, when it happens and how often. For example, a 2021 Dutch survey of I & O Research commissioned by Amnesty International involving 1,059 Dutch-speaking students showed that 22% had never heard of freezing (in the sense of 'paralysis') before, and 25% had heard of it, but did not know exactly what it meant; the remaining 53% did know. 59% of the students aged 18 or younger did not know what it was; 42% had never even heard of it. However, the older the students, the more they knew about it (61% of those aged 25 and older knew what paralysis). Moreover, only 33% of the students who did not know from personal experience or from others what sexual penetration without consent was, knew what freezing was. The survey also showed that 29% of the men had never heard of it (26% had, but didn't know what it was), while only 15% of women had never heard of it (23% did, without knowing what it was). Finally, many students found that someone should clearly say 'no' if they don't want sexual penetration, even if they knew what paralysis was and that a paralysed person is unable to say 'no'. The biggest difference was between the 145 women who knew what paralysis was and found that you (therefore) do not have to say 'no' if you don't want sex (36% of all women who knew what paralysis was) and the 91 men who had never heard of paralysis and found that you should clearly say 'no' if you don't want sex (77% of all men who had never heard of paralysis).
Although men can also be victims of sexual violence and can also be paralysed by fear, it happens to women more often, and usually by male perpetrators, although there are also female perpetrators.
Consequences for potential perpetrators
Because of a lack of public awareness about paralysis, potential perpetrators often do not recognise paralysis in a person they want to have sex with. There is a risk that, if the initiator has asked the other person verbally or non-verbally whether the other wanted to have sex, or if the initiator had indicated their own wish to have sex, the fact that the other becomes paralysed by fear and thus is unable to say 'no' or resist, will be interpreted by the initiator as meaning that the other person does not object to sex. The initiator could falsely believe that silence means consent and proceed to initiate sexual acts with the paralysed person. In this way, it is possible that people unintentionally rape or assault a paralysed person without realising it (known as 'negligent rape' and 'negligent sexual assault', respectively). Furthermore, the assumption that every person could say 'no' or resist at any moment if they didn't want to have sex, could afterwards lead the perpetrator to blame the victim for not having objected to their advances.
Consequences for potential victims
On the other hand, potential victims are often unprepared for a scenario in which they will become paralysed, and unable to say 'no' or physically resist anymore. As soon as they find themselves in that situation, it is too late. Afterwards, many victims (also known as survivors) do not understand what happened, and why they could not say or do anything to communicate that they did not want to have sex. The consequence is that they often blame themselves for being sexually assaulted because they expected to have been able to do something about it but conclude that they failed to do so (self-victim-blaming). This could lead to great shame, the tendency to tell nobody what has happened, attempts to forget the traumatic experience and erase all traces of it (including matters which could have been used as evidence against the perpetrator).
Legal issues
A lack of knowledge about paralysis amongst legislators and lawyers can lead to a failure to consider sexual scenarios in which paralysis occurs. On the one hand, this could lead to legislation based on the idea that rape or assault is always accompanied by violence or coercion from the perpetrator and/or always accompanied by resistance from the victim. Such coercion-based legislation falls short in cases where paralysis prevents the victim from resisting and thus the perpetrator does not have to use force or coercion to perform sexual acts with the person who does not want to. According to such a law, no crime has been committed and the perpetrator cannot be prosecuted. As a result, there is often no legal protection for victims of sexual violence who became paralysed.
A possible solution to this problem is to base legislation about sexual violence on a lack of consent. According to this approach, the requirement that the other person communicates consent and actually does so, is best way to ensure that the person actually wants/wanted to have sex. If the initiator doesn't get a response from the other person, then the initiator may decide it's better not to engage in sexual acts just to be on the safe side in case the silence is misinterpreted. Consent-based legislation eliminates the requirement to prove rape or assault based on violence or coercion by the perpetrator or the victim's resistance, which is often made impossible by the occurrence of involuntary paralysis, and thus prevents the requirement from being met in coercion-based legislation.

The liquidation of the autonomy of the Cossack Hetmanate was an administrative reform of the government of the Russian Empire, carried out in 1764-1765 and aimed at eliminating the autonomy of the Cossack Hetmanate. During the 18th century, the Hetmanate gradually lost its political and economic autonomy. In 1764, by order of Empress Catherine II, the hetman's institute was abolished, and a year later the hetmanate was reformed into the Little Russia Governorate.
Prerequisites
1715 — elimination of election of positions
1722 — Collegium of Little Russia (first)
1723 — Polubotko's arrest
1728 — Decisive points (Apostol)
1734 — Governing Council of the Hetman Office (Shakhovskyi)
1750 — restoration of the hetman's institute (Razumovskyi)
1754 — liquidation of the Ukrainian-Russian customs border
1764 — liquidation of the hetmanate, the second Collegium of Little Russia
From 1734 to 1750 the Governing Council of the Hetman Office operated in the Hetmanate. The affairs of the Hetmanate were referred to the Senate. Further attacks on the autonomous rights of the Hetmanate continued. In 1734, ancient documents of Kyiv were confiscated, and marriages between Ukrainians and Russians were encouraged. In 1744, the Codification Commission adopted the Code of Laws "The Rights of the Little Russian People," which had been in preparation since 1728. In 1735–1739, during the Russo-Turkish War, Ukrainian lands were bloodless and suffered heavy human and material losses.
During the hetmanship of K. Razumovsky, the position of the sergeant was strengthened, which gradually turned into a noble class. The role of the foreman is growing. This was the time of her political rule in the Hetmanate. Officers' congresses were often held. K. Razumovsky often visited St. Petersburg, so he was replaced by the foreman.
In 1763 in Hlukhiv the council of elders drafted a petition for the return of former liberties and the establishment of a noble parliament in the Hetmanate. K. Razumovsky addressed Catherine II with a proposal to make the post of hetman hereditary in his family. But on November 10, 1764, the hetmanship in Ukraine was abolished.
Liquidation
"In 1764, the queen ordered Razumovskyi to renounce the hetmanship, and he did so. Power from the hetman passed back into the hands of the Little Russia Collegium, headed by Governor-General Rumyantsev. The queen responded to the measures of the Cossack officers to elect a new hetman with instructions that "even the name of the hetman should disappear, and not that a person should be elected to such a position."
The administration of the Hetmanate passed to the Second Little Russia Collegium, headed by Governor-General Peter Rumyantsev, who was independent of the Collegium, subordinate to the Senate and the Empress.
The Hetmanate was administered by the Office of the Governor-General of Little Russia, which headed the Little Russia Collegium, regimental and hundreds of offices, and courts of all types and levels. The main task was the final elimination of the autonomy of the Hetmanate, but gradually and carefully.
In a "Secret Instruction" to Prince Vyazemsky, when appointing him to the post of Prosecutor general of the Governing Senate, Catherine II stated: "Little Russia, Livonia and Finland are provinces governed by the privileges granted to them. provinces for foreigners and to treat them as foreign lands - it would be obvious nonsense. These provinces, as well as the Smolensk region, must be led by easy means to make them Russify and stop watching wolves in the woods."Little Russia, Livonia and Finland are the provinces, which are governed by the privileges confirmed by him, and it would be very obscene to violate them by suddenly excluding everyone; however, to call them foreign and treat them on the same basis is more than a mistake, but can be called with certainty stupidity. These provinces, as well as Smolensk, must by the easiest means be brought to the point that they become Russified and stop looking like wolves towards the forest. Moreover, the attack is very easy, if reasonable people are elected leaders in those provinces; when there is no hetman in Little Russia, then one should try to make the name of the hetmans disappear forever, not only a person who was promoted to this dignity.The most secret instruction to Prince Alexander Vyazemsky Сборник Императорского Русского исторического общества. Т. 7. СПб., 1871. — С. 348
Subsequent events
In 1781 the regimental administrative system of the Hetmanate was abolished and governorships were formed. "In 1781, the Hetmanate was divided into three governorates (provinces): Kyiv, Chernihiv and Novhorod-Siverske, which together formed the Little Russia Governor-General."
In 1783 the Cossack army was abolished and replaced by ten carabinieri and cavalry regiments. Thus, the autonomy of the Hetmanate was essentially abolished, and on May 3, 1783, serfdom was introduced in the Hetmanate and Sloboda Ukraine.

Kay Hackett was an artist and ceramic designer most known for her work for Stangl Pottery.
Personal Life
Kay Hackett, born Kathleen Kay Kastner in 1919, grew up in Batavia, New York. Her talent as an artist was noticed early on by two townspeople in Batavia who provided Kay with the necessary funds for art lessons when she was a teen. She later enrolled at New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University to study ceramic design.
Kay married Martin Hackett in 1944 and had two sons, Pat and Dave. She and Martin divorced in 1947. Hackett died in 2016 at the age of 96 in North Hanover, New Jersey.
Stangl
Kay had early success selling her ceramic designs to potteries. Betty Stangl, a fellow undergraduate at Alfred University and daughter of Stangl Pottery Vice President Martin Stangl, suggested to her father that he should hire Kay. Stangl was particularly interested in Kay's thesis on the glazing of red clay - which would become a key element in the company's future success. When Kay graduated at twenty-one, she initially turned down Stangl's $20/week proposal, holding out until she was offered $25/week.
Her first dinnerware production for Stangl Pottery, called Verna, went into production less than a year after she started at the company. Kay went on to create designs Tulip and Fruit later that same year. The latter being one of the most popular designs in Stangl Pottery history.
During WWII, Kay left Stangl Pottery to work for General Motor's Eastern Aircraft division in Trenton. There she created line drawings for repair manuals for the Grumman Avenger airplane. She returned to Stangl in 1948, and continued until 1965, when she and her husband started a joint antique business.
Kay is credited with designing forty Stangl dinnerware patterns that were put into production. She additionally designed over 100 artware and novelty products for the company. Her designs were often nature based and all were hand-painted.
Legacy
In 2017, the Trenton City Museum mounted a retrospective of Kay's work. The exhibition paid special attention to one of her most famous designs, Thistle, which was manufactured by Stangl from 1951 to 1967.
A cup and saucer designed by Kay titled Lyric is housed in the Museum of Fine Art, Boston's collection.

Anarchism in Taiwan first developed out of the anti-imperialist resistance to the Empire of Japan, when a number of young Taiwanese nationalists were exposed to anarchism during their studies abroad. Influenced by the anarchist movements in China and Japan, and in close cooperation with a number of Korean anarchists, the Taiwanese anarchist movement reached its height during the 1920s, before being suppressed by 1931.
History
Following the First Sino-Japanese War, the island of Taiwan was ceded by the Qing dynasty to the Empire of Japan. Attempts to form an independent Republic of Formosa were defeated by the Japanese invasion, which brought the island under Imperial rule. In the wake of the occupation, Taiwanese social movements started to focus on calls for democracy and self-determination, with more radical and revolutionary ideas also beginning to take shape. Following the events of the Russian Revolution and with the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement in the Republic of China, many young Taiwanese nationalists experienced a sharp turn towards left-wing politics, with a number picking up on the ideas of anarchism and communism during their studies in Tokyo or Beijing.
In 1919, when the Japanese colonial government of Den Kenjirō started to implement a policy of cultural assimilation in Taiwan, the Taiwanese anarchist Yu Gingfang led an uprising against imperial rule, but it was put down. In Beijing, where the Chinese anarchist movement was rising to prominence, the Taiwanese anarchist Fan Benliang founded the "New Taiwanese Anarchist Society" and the anarchist newspaper New Taiwan.
During the early 1920s, anarchist and communist ideas took hold within the youth faction of the Taiwanese Cultural Association. On 30 July 1923, the Taipei Youth Association was founded, and by December 1926, the organization had expanded into the . This organization used the Cultural Association as a platform to promote anarchist ideas publicly, even openly opposed the Petition Movement for the Establishment of a Taiwanese Parliament. The Black Youth League organized hundreds of public meetings and lectures that were attended in the thousands, with one meeting that was called in support of the Korean independence movement being attended by prominent Japanese anarchists such as Iwasa Sakutarō and Hatta Shūzō. On January 2, 1927, the Black Youth League began to take steps to organize trade unions in Taiwan, but on January 31, the organization was discovered by Japanese police. In February 1927, the Black Youth League was banned and its members were subjected to mass arrests, with many being sentenced to months in prison. In November 1929, the anarcho-syndicalist Taiwanese Workers' Mutual Aid Association was established by Chang Weixan. But by August 1931, a number of its members were charged with illegally possessing weaponry and another wave of mass arrests followed.
Meanwhile, in mainland China, many Taiwanese anarchists found themselves collaborating with Korean anarchists due to their shared anti-imperialism, notably together establishing the Eastern Anarchist Federation (EAF) in Shanghai. The Korean anarchist leader Sin Chaeho even collaborated with the Taiwanese anarchist Lin Bingwen in an attempt to forge banknotes for funding the EAF's activities, but they were both arrested by the Japanese authorities in Taiwan and would later die in prison. The EAF also established anarchist schools in Quanzhou, which included two Taiwanese teachers in the faculty at the Dawn Advance Middle School.
The suppression of the Taiwanese anarchist and communist movements in 1931 marked the beginning of Japan's turn towards military dictatorship, culminating in the Pacific War, when the Empire of Japan was finally defeated by the Allies. Taiwan was subsequently retroceded back to the Republic of China, and when the Kuomintang was defeated in the Chinese Civil War, the nationalist government retreated to Taiwan. Among those that fled to Taiwan were a number of Chinese anarchists, two of which included the anarchist elders Wu Zhihui and Li Shizeng, supporters of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. The new Taiwanese government subsequently oversaw a "White Terror" against left-wing political dissidents, implementing martial law that lasted until the end of the Cold War.
Since democratization, there has been a renewed interest of anarchism in Taiwan. In 2003, the Atayal community of adopted a form of Christian anarchist organization, where community assets are managed cooperatively by the villagers. In 2016, the newly elected President Tsai Ing-wen recruited Audrey Tang, a self-described "conservative anarchist", to join the Democratic Progressive Party's government as a member of the Executive Yuan. As a government minister, Tang has since voiced her support for e-democracy and radical transparency in Taiwanese politics.

The Vilar Formoso Fronteira da Paz (Frontier of Peace) memorial is a museum devoted to the role played by the Portuguese border town of Vilar Formoso in the reception of Jewish refugees and others from France and elsewhere who were escaping Nazi persecution in World War II.
History
Seeking to escape from advancing German troops, many Jews, from France and elsewhere, made their way to Bordeaux in the hope of obtaining visas to enter Portugal. The Portuguese consul-general, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, ignored instructions from António de Oliveira Salazar, leader of Portugal's authoritarian Estado Novo regime, which remained neutral during the war but had no desire to upset the Germans, and continued to issue an undetermined number of visas in Bordeaux, moving to Bayonne after Bordeaux was bombed. With these visas, the fleeing Jews and others, such as soldiers or airmen of the Allies trying to rejoin their units, made their way by train or car through Spain to Portugal, with the great majority eventually reaching the Portuguese border at Vilar Formoso. Sousa Mendes was later expelled from the foreign service for his actions, although he was allowed to retain his salary until his death in 1954. For a long time his role was largely forgotten in Portugal but in October 1966 he was recognized by Israel as one of the Righteous Among the Nations. His contribution was not fully recognised in Portugal until October 2021, when the president of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, unveiled a plaque in his honour in the National Pantheon in Lisbon.
Memorial and museum
The memorial to the work of Sousa Mendes and the role of the people of Portugal in receiving the refugees takes the form of a museum built into two former warehouses at the Vilar Formoso railway station, which is of itself of considerable interest because of its azulejo tile decorations. It was officially opened on 26 August 2017 by the Portuguese president Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. The exhibition has six sections, or cores, called as follows:
People like us
The Beginning of the Nightmare
The Journey
Vilar Formoso / Frontier of Peace
In Portuguese Lands
The Departure
The Display
People like us
This first section presents the experience of those who were "people like us" and who saw their lives turned upside down, with the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, in Germany in 1933.
The Beginning of the Nightmare
The exhibition presents, in a chronological sequence from 1933 to 1940, the most important events that forced thousands of people to flee into the unknown as the result of the persecution of Jews, the Roma, Jehovah’s Witnesses and others. The shape of the exhibition space is symbolically related to the Star of David.
The Journey
This section aims to convey the harsh conditions of the trip that the refugees made; the queues outside consulates; the lack of accommodation even if people had money; and shortages of food and transportation. The role of Aristides de Sousa Mendes is considered here.
Vilar Formoso / Frontier of Peace
This section shows the arrival of refugees by car and train, mainly in the last two weeks of June 1940. It discusses the assistance provided by the people of the town. Testimonies by refugees about the friendliness of the people of Vilar Formoso are provided.
In Portuguese lands
With the Portuguese capital Lisbon being overcrowded, the majority of refugees were sent to other cities, such as Porto, Coimbra and Figuera de Foz. Many ended up on the Portuguese Riviera near Lisbon in places such as Estoril and Cascais or further up the Atlantic coast at Ericeira. Others were sent to spa towns such as Caldas da Rainha. The advantages of all of these locations was that they had hotels available.
The Departure
Few refugees intended to stay in Portugal, with most hoping to make it to the United States or South America. The exhibition describes the efforts to obtain visas and tickets.
The Refugees
Among the refugees who were in Portugal during World War II and are believed to have passed through Vilar Formoso were:
Arthur Koestler
Alfred Döblin
Heinrich Mann
Erika Mann
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Peggy Guggenheim

The abolition of the Cossack system in Sloboda Ukraine was an administrative and military reform of the government of the Russian Empire, carried out in 1763-1765 and aimed at eliminating the autonomy of the Sloboda Cossack regiments. As a result of the reform, Russian state institutions began to operate on the territory of Sloboda Ukraine, and the Cossack regiments were reformed into regular hussar ones. The Kharkov Governorate with its center in Kharkiv was formed on the territory of the Sloboda regiments.
Prerequisites
From the time of Peter I, the Moscovite government began to interfere more and more in the internal life of the Sloboda regiments and limit their autonomy. In 1700, Peter I deprived the regiments of the right to elect their own colonels, ruling that they were elected until death. By the same order, Peter I significantly reduced the number of elected Cossacks to about 3,500, including 1,200 in the Sumy Regiment, 820 in the Okhtyrka Regiment, 850 in the Kharkiv Regiment, 250 in the Izium Regiment, and 350 in the Ostroh Regiment. All other Sloboda Cossacks were transferred to assistants, who were obliged to plow the land, supply equipment, horses and weapons for the elected Cossacks. The Russian leadership began to appoint the right people to the positions of colonels, including foreigners.
During the reign of Catherine I, the Sloboda regiments were transferred to the department of the Military Collegium, as a result of which a regular company was created in each regiment.
In 1732, during the reign of Anna Ioannovna, the autonomy of Slobidska Ukraine was abolished. Sloboda regiments were transformed into army regiments and subordinated to a special commission. All questions of the regiments' activities were decided by a commission, and colonels were invited only in some cases. "Serf offices" were also established to record land documents, and the right of Cossacks to occupy vacant lands was abolished. The colonels were transformed into prime ministers, and a divisional general was appointed at their head.
In 1743, Elizabeth Petrovna abolished the previous changes and restored the previous Cossack self-government. She also issued a charter for all Sloboda regiments. After the partial abolition of the innovations of 1743, the contradictions in the Sloboda regiments became apparent and became especially acute in the late 1950s. However, the delegation never received an audience with Elizabeth and then with Peter III. However, there are two projects of local officers to reform the Sloboda regiments of the 50s of the XVIII century. One of these projects was proposed by Colonel Mykhailo Myloradovych of Izium, and the other was proposed by Colonel Stepan Tevyashov of Ostroh.
After the accession to the throne of Catherine II, her reforms for all Ukrainian Cossacks began with Sloboda. First, the imperial government planned to reorganize the Cossack regiments into regular military units.
In 1763, at the beginning of the new reign, Catherine II instructed Major of the Life Guards of the Izmailov Regiment Evdokim Shcherbinin to head the "Commission on Sloboda Regiments" to study the causes of "trouble" in these lands to eliminate them.
Long before the liquidation of the Sloboda regiments, the Cossack sergeant was integrated into the political body of Imperial Russia. The vast majority of them belonged (or belonged) to the "highest class of the population" ("nobility" and "common lords" and "noble families") from the earliest waves of immigrants from the first colonial efforts of Colonel Ivan Dzyk (Dzykovsky). The vast expanse of sparsely populated steppes of the former Wild Steppe with land tenure, imperial resettlement permits and assistance in settling the southern borders of Russia led to the fact that over time "Sloboda colonels and elders forgot about their homeland," "became completely indifferent to the people's interests." and cared only to "gain… their own benefits from their real position." All this took place against the background of the lack of clear legal regulation of small landholdings, even on the eve of the reforms of the regimental-hundreds system of 1765.
Shcherbinin Commission
Shcherbinin's commission was aimed at streamlining the fiscal system, investigating land cases, finding out the causes of the plight of the people. Most importantly, the guards of Second Major Yevdokim Shcherbinin allowed at their discretion to accept complaints and investigate cases of abuse of officers in all Sloboda regiments "and as soon as Sloboda regiments commanders and sergeants those who, in seniority, follow from the real employees. " Thus, the Shcherbinin Commission was given practical rights to manage the region, eliminate and appoint officers.
The Commission arrived in Kharkiv on the highest orders from the capital. In particular, she investigated numerous complaints from the population about the abuse of the regimental officers of the Sloboda regiments (because the territory was "semi-free", colonels and centurions really allowed themselves a lot). The facts of seizure of public and regimental lands, significant embezzlement (public money), misappropriation of public money, sale of military and elected positions for money, misconduct, extortion, physical violence and other facts were revealed.
According to the report of the commission, Catherine II is convinced that there is no civil authority in Slobozhanshchina, and decides to introduce civil administration by creating a governorate (while maintaining the existing structure of the territory). Also, as a result of successful Russo-Turkish wars, the border moved significantly south of Slobozhanshchina, a new defense against the Tatars - Slavo-Serbia with its regiments, and the military importance of Slobozhanshchina as a barrier to Tatar raids decreased. That is why civil administration was also introduced in the newly created province.
The result was the manifesto of Catherine II of July 28, 1765 "On the establishment of a decent civil system in the Sloboda regiments and the stay of the provincial and provincial chancellery", according to which the Kharkov Governorate was founded with five provinces in place of regiments and administrative center in Kharkov. Evdokim Shcherbinin became the governor of the new province. According to the same manifesto, a decision was made to transform the Sloboda regiments into regular hussars.
Reform of military regiments
During 1763–1764, instead of the abolished Cossack regiments, imperial regular hussar regiments were formed: the Kharkiv, Sumy, Okhtyrka, Izyum, and Ostrogozhsky hussar regiments. Sloboda Cossacks and assistants were transformed into so-called military citizens (social status they were similar to state peasants), Cossack officers were compared to the Russian nobility (depending on the rank was given hereditary or personal nobility). Those who wished to continue their service in the imperial regiments were given military ranks in accordance with the government they held in the Cossack regiments. Officers who refused to continue their service also received appropriate ranks, military or civilian, according to the Table of Ranks.
Military citizens and burghers (except for proprietors and serfs) by lot (from which some now evaded) served in the territorial hussar regiments of the permanent staff. The regimental composition in peacetime was small – 1,000 men per regiment, but often it exceeded, sometimes significantly. Other conscripts who did not pass the lottery were periodically trained. At the beginning of the war, the regiments expanded to wartime staff, and in its continuation, if necessary, received reinforcements from the peaceful province from those who had undergone training in the past as part of marching squadrons.
The reformation, on the example of the Okhtyrka Regiment, took place as follows:
As it turned out, the newly made hussars were much more fortunate than those of the Cossacks, who became "mere peaceful plowmen" – the latter, in the vast majority, were soon simply enslaved.
During the transformation of the Cossack regiments into Hussars, local officers were equated in rights with the Russian nobility. At that time, among the privileged class, it was the "Ukrainian nobles" in the territory of the former Sumy, Okhtyrka, Kharkiv and Izium Sloboda Cossack regiments that dominated (and owned most of the land), in contrast to Ostrogozhchyna (meaning Ostrogozhchyna within the Bulavin Rebellion, without, where the majority was for the Russians. This fixation of landowners on a national basis is understandable, because it depended on the geographical proximity of Ostrogozhsk to the central provinces of Russia.
Abolition of the Cossack system
The Manifesto of 1765 abolished the Cossack system and the Sloboda regiments and introduced Russian institutions.
Prior to the reform, the regiments were kept "on the ground" by the population. Those who served in the regiments until 1765 often used their money to buy horses and uniforms (except weapons). From 1765 the regiment was held by the government, not the local population. Also, instead of the constant extortion of sergeants from local residents – horses, ammunition, weapons, fodder, provisions, salaries for Cossacks and sergeants, seizure of local horses and oxen for transportation, etc. – a single tax "from the soul" living in Slobozhanshchina was introduced. 4 graduations and entered the treasury. The largest tax was on privileged state military citizens (so changed the Cossacks and their assistants), who had the right to drive and sell in the permitted settlements "wine" – 90-95 kopecks a year. Of the unprivileged military, who had no right to drive wine – 80-85 kopecks a year from the heart. From gypsies and foreigners – 70 kopecks. From "proprietary subjects of Cherkasy" – 60 kopecks. Nobles, clergy, and women did not pay taxes.
Privileges (not all) given to Peter I by the people of Slobozian were preserved. The most important thing was that distilling was allowed in military settlements, settlements, towns, and cities (except for a few). Also, about two-thirds of the province's population was allowed to extract the salt they used to go to Thor. The "unprivileged" were forced to buy government wine from the "privileged", as well as government salt, which had a state monopoly. Also privileged were allowed other trades (manufacture for sale of various things, sale of products, etc.) without paying taxes.
Зберігалися пільги (не всі), даровані слобожанам Петром І. Найголовніше — у військових поселеннях, слободах, містечках, містах (крім кількох) дозволялося винокуріння. Також приблизно двом третинам населення губернії був дозволений видобуток солі, за якою їздили на Тор. «Непривілейовані» змушені були купляти казенне вино у «привілейованих», а також казенну сіль, на яку була державна монополія. Також привілейованим дозволялися інші промисли (виготовлення на продаж різних речей, продаж продуктів і пр.) без сплати податків.
Regimental and hundreds of forms of civil government were formally abolished. But in fact the colonels and centurions had power in their territories not only military, it was finally abolished in 1780 with the reorganization of the provinces and commissions in the county.
The territories of the regimental hundreds were united in commissariats, while preserving the hundreds themselves. In the centers of the commissariat were organized: commissioner's office, commissioner's office, local court. The commissariats were united in the provinces, which territorially corresponded to the regiments. All provinces constituted the province.
In 1766 the existing administrative division was abolished and the entire territory of the Sloboda Cossacks was transformed into a new Kharkov Governorate with its center in Kharkiv. Five settlements: Okhtyrka, Kharkiv, Izium, etc. received the status of cities. Particular attention was paid to Kharkiv, which in 1780 became the capital of the newly created Kharkov Governorate.
Cossack protests
Upon learning of this, Colonel of the Izium Regiment Fedor Krasnokutsky in 1764 tried to raise the Sloboda sergeant to a mass protest against the intentions of the Russian authorities. The Izyum Regiment and some officers of the Kharkiv Regiment were clearly opposed to the reform. But another Cossack officer did not respond to his proposal – to submit a collective petition to the Empress. Each of the officers was afraid of losing the acquired wealth, positions and hoped to find a warm place in the new structures.
The Russian government has made arrests in search of a wider conspiracy. Krasnokutsky was deprived of his ranks and estate and exiled to Kazan. Some of the ordinary officers were beaten with whips. Expressions of discontent and protest also took place during the elections to the Commission for the Drafting of the New Code of 1767: some orders (particularly in the Sumy region) called for the restoration of the Cossacks. But Russian government repression has eliminated this resistance movement.
According to General Shcherbinin, the inhabitants of Slobozhanshchyna were hostile to the reform of the regiments. The Cossacks who converted to the Hussars were persecuted not only by local officials, but also by their own parents. In this regard, these Cossacks began to run away from service, they were caught, beaten with whips and returned to the regiments.
Aftermath
Cossack autonomy and the regimental system were finally abolished. Sloboda Ukraine has become an ordinary province of the Russian Empire, Sloboda Ukraine Governorate, with its center in Kharkiv.

Nostra Signora di Coromoto is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in southwest Rome, dedicated to Our Lady of Coromoto.
History
The church was built in 1976–78; contributions from Italian Venezuelans led it to be named for that country's patron, Our Lady of Coromoto. It is visited by Venezuelans but is not their official national church. It is square, with a cross-beam roof of laminated wood. The presbytery is illuminated from above by natural light.
Pope John Paul II visited in 1981. On 25 May 1985, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon. The title is named Nostra Signora di Coromoto e San Giovanni di Dio, because the church was originally to be dedicated to Saint John of God, but that is not the name of the church.

Andrew Joseph Blaser (born May 8, 1989) is an American skeleton racer who competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics. He was previously a collegiate track and field athlete at Louisville and Idaho.
Early years
Blaser was born on May 8, 1989, in Boise, Idaho to Sherman and Ellen Blaser. He was the youngest of four children in an athletic Mormon family, and danced ballet in elementary school. He attended Meridian High School in nearby Meridian, graduating in 2007. In addition to playing football and basketball, he was a three-time Class 5A state champion in track and field, winning back-to-back state titles in the 110m hurdles and tying for first in the 300m intermediate hurdles as a senior. He also won five district titles and set a school record in the 110m hurdles.
College track career
Blaser attended the University of Louisville as a freshman, setting a school record in the heptathlon. He was planning to transfer to a junior college ahead of his sophomore year, but a friend of his convinced him to come to the University of Idaho instead, where he walked on to the track team and trained under sprint coach Angela Whyte. Blaser went on the win six individual conference titles for the Vandals. He was also honored with 10 outdoor All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) honors and seven indoor All-WAC honors, both school records.
At the 2010 WAC Indoor Championships, Blaser earned first-team all-WAC honors in the high jump after recording a career-best mark of 6 ft 6¾ in. He was also a second-team all-WAC selection in three other events. He suffered a back injury in a car accident soon afterward, causing him to miss the 2010 outdoor and 2011 indoor seasons after undergoing hernia surgery. Blaser made his return to competition during the 2011 outdoor season. He won his first conference title at the WAC Championships, scoring a career-high 7,037 points in the decathlon to take first place. He set personal bests in six of the ten events en route to the fifth-best score in school history. He also won the 110m hurdles event at the Sam Adams Classic and the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational, qualifying for the NCAA Preliminaries for the first time in his career.
As a senior in 2012, he led the Vandals to a conference title at the WAC Indoor Championships, where he scored a school-record 40 points and won the heptathlon, high jump and 60-meter hurdles. His score in the heptathlon (5,324) was the second-best mark in school history. It was the school's first WAC title in any men's sport and Blaser was named the WAC Men’s Field Performer of the Year for his performance. At the WAC Outdoor Championships, he set another school record with 44 points, winning the decathlon and 110 hurdles events while finishing third in four others. He won seven of the ten events in the decathlon. He also qualified for the NCAA Preliminaries in the 110m hurdles for the second year in a row. At the end of the year Blaser was given the Joe Kearney Award as the conference's top male student-athlete, which he shared with Utah football player Robert Turpin.
Skeleton career
Blaser spent his first year after college as an assistant coach on the Utah State track team. While watching Cool Runnings, Blaser joked with his sister that he should try bobsledding. He first called coaches in the spring of 2012 and attended a combine in Park City, Utah, but he was advised to switch to the similar sport of skeleton because of his lighter frame. He made the move but soon grew frustrated and moved to Louisville, where he knew some people. After eight months he decided to give skeleton another chance, so he drove back to Utah, got a job as a waiter and bought a new sled.
Blaser debuted on the international circuit during the 2015–16 North American Cup season. He won his first medal, a silver, at a race in Park City in March 2016, finishing .07 seconds behind first place. In 2017–18 he earned six medals (one silver and five bronze). The following season, he won four gold medals in the North American Cup: two each in Park City and Lake Placid. At the 2019 USA Skeleton National Team Trials, Blaser won all four races to win a spot on the 2019–20 Skeleton World Cup roster. He finished 23rd and 22nd (out of 27) in his first two races, respectively. Blaser placed 27th at the 2020 World Championships, suffering a concussion when he crashed.
Blaser finished 2021 as the 28th-ranked racer in the IBSF standings, and as the highest American earned a spot in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. In January 2022, he was officially announced as a member of the American skeleton team at the Tokyo Games, marking the first time the U.S. delegation included a single male skeleton rider. He finished in 21st place after three heats and missed the finals.
Personal life
Blaser lives in Boise during the offseason, where he serves as an assistant coach for volleyball and track at Capital High School. He also works through the Starbucks Elite Athlete Program.
Blaser is openly gay. He came out to his family around 2014 or 2015, though he had been out among his friends for years before that. In high school, he spent his lunches "with the theater kids instead of the athletes he competed with" and faced homophobic taunts from his peers. He first talked to the media about his sexuality in a November 2021 interview with Outsports. He was the first publicly gay man to compete in skeleton at the Olympic level, competing with a rainbow saddle on his sled. In the days leading up to the competition, he received a shoutout on Instagram from his favorite singer, Sara Bareilles.
His brother, Sherm, won a state title as head football coach at Kuna High School in Kuna, Idaho.

Raquel Torres Cerdán, also Raquel Torres (born 19 November 1948) is a Mexican anthropologist and restauranteur, who has worked to record, preserve and showcase the cuisines of the indigenous peoples of Veracruz, through her restaurants and food writing.
Biography
Torres was born in Xalapa on 19 November 1948. Her parents were Guillermina Cerdán, a housewife, and Abel Torres García, who was variously an itinerant coffee-seller, bricklayer, waiter and eventually restaurant owner. She credits meeting the chef Angel Objeco, who worked at her father's restaurant of La Parroquia, in inspiring her interest in cuisine. She initially worked as a civil servant, but made the move to study Anthropology at University of Veracruz in order to expand her knowledge of the food of the indigenous peoples of Veracruz. The accumulation of this knowledge and its preservation has become an important aspect of Torres' career.
Research into indigenous cuisine inspired Torres to open her first restaurant, La Fonda, which served a menu dedicated to the regional foods. She later opened La Churrería del Recuerdo, where she intended to serve recipes that were over 130 years old. However, Torres discovered that whilst there were recipe books available form that period, they recorded middle and upper class foods, not those of the working classes. In addition to running two restaurants, Torres teaches workshops on the skills of Mexican cookery, with a focus on the food of the Veracruz region.
Recognition
In 2019 the National Council for Tourism, Culture and the Arts in Mexico and the Xalapa City Council paid tribute to Torres' work, citing the influence she has had on the preservation of the gastronomic heritage of Xalapa. The chef and writer Diana Kennedy has cited Torres' work as an influence.

Emma Gao is a Chinese oenologist, who is the chief winemaker at Silver Heights winery, one of China's most prestigious vineyards.
Biography
Born in China, Gao moved to France in 1999, aged 21, to study oenology at the University of Bordeaux, where she was awarded a Diplome National d’Oenologue. She subsequently worked at Château Calon-Ségur, where she met her future husband, Thierry Courtade. She returned to China in 2004, first working at a winery in Xinjiang, then working in wine sales in Shanghai. In 2007 she and her father founded Silver Heights winery on land he was already cultivating in Ningxia.
By 2018 Silver Heights had become known as a "leading boutique winery". Gao's first vintage as chief winemaker was praised by Chinese and international winemakers, and two of her red wines are among the best known produced in China. They are a Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Emma’s Reserve’ and a Bordeaux blend ‘The Summit’. Dubbed a 'micro-vineyard' Silver Heights produces 40,000 bottles of wine each year. In 2017 Gao began to convert their winemaking processes to purely biodynamic ones. In 2020 the company made its first exports to the UK, US, Singapore, Belgium, Demark and Italy. Pioneer of Chinese wine, Gérard Colin, stated that Gao is "considered the best winemaker, with practically the best wine, in all of China".
Gao has spoken out about how the climate crisis is affecting wine production, in particular causing damage to the vines due increasingly harsh winters.

Griseoxanthone C is an organic compound in the structural class of chemicals known as xanthones. Its chemical formula is 1,6-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-8-methylxanthen-9-one, and its molecular formula is C15H12O5. It is found in a plant and some fungi, including a lichen.
History
Griseoxanthone C was first isolated from the fungus Penicillium patulum by McMaster and colleagues in 1960. They were investigating the biosynthesis of the somewhat structurally related compound griseofulvin and discovered it in the residual material of the growth medium containing the fungi. A year later, another group studying griseofulvin biosynthesis discovered that the production of griseoxanthone C could be induced by inhibiting the chlorination of griseophenone C (an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway leading to griseofulvin), and that griseoxanthone C could be created chemically from griseophenone C. Jayalakshmi and colleagues proposed a chemical synthesis of griseoxanthone C in 1974.
Properties
In its purified form, griseoxanthone C exists as yellowish needles with a melting point of . An ethanolic solution of griseoxanthone C reacts with iron(III) chloride to produce a violet-brown colour. Its ultraviolet spectrum has four peaks of maximum absorption (λmax) at 242, 269, 309, and 340 nm.
In laboratory tests, griseoxanthone C showed strong antibiotic effects toward Bacillus subtilis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It also has strong cytotoxicity to Hep2 liver cancer cells in in vitro experiments.
Occurrence
In 1992, John Elix and Caroline Crook reported griseoxanthone C from the lichen Lecanora vinetorum. It has since been reported from various other species, including the flowers of the plant Ficus hookeriana, the fungi Fusarium equiseti, Penicillium concentricum, and Urocladium.

The Turenki rail accident occurred on 12 March 1940, at 05:28 local time (03:28 UTC) near Turenki, Finland, and remains the worst rail accident in Finnish history. A troop train carrying soldiers of the 71st Supply Company and horses south from Loimaa to Viipuri collided with a northbound freight train. The two trains were travelling at 40 km/h (25 mph) and 25–30 km/h (15–19 mph) respectively at the time of collision. The death toll was particularly high due to many troop carriages being crushed; the carriages had initially been located at the rear of the train but were moved to the front just behind the locomotive at Toijala as the train changed direction. Rescue operations were also delayed.
The accident was caused by a signalling error; the signaller, who was still on probation and who had been awake for the past 36 hours, mistakenly cleared the freight train to pass Turenki north towards the Harviala railway station, even though the troop train had already passed the latter station which had been chosen as the place the two trains would pass each other. The signaller was sentenced to a two-year, one-month and ten-day prison sentence and to pay 30 000 Finnish marks in compensation.
The accident went largely unreported, as the accident happened during World War II and on the same day that the Moscow Peace Treaty which ended the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union was signed and went into effect. It was one of three rail accidents to take place in Finland in March 1940; the Iittala rail accident on March 4 claimed 31 lives and the Putikko rail accident on March 18 claimed 14 lives.
A memorial to those who lost their lives in the crash was unveiled at Turenki railway station in 2000.

Augustine Moore (circa 1685–July 28, 1743), nicknamed "Old Grubb", was a prominent tobacco merchant who became a planter and founder of the Moore family of Virginia. He may be best known for building Chelsea plantation, now on the National Register of Historic Places and one of the best-preserved 18th century buildings in the state.
Early and family life
Moore emigrated from England about 1705 and made a fortune in the tobacco trade. Descendants traced their lineage to a Lord Mayor of London and Sir Thomas More, although some disagreement exists. He married Mary Gage in England, but she died in childbirth in the Virginia colony in 1713, with mother and child buried at Chelsea.
In 1715 Moore remarried, to the widow Elizabeth Todd Seaton, who had inherited "Toddsbury" plantation in Gloucester County from her father Thomas Todd (1660-1724), and had a dower interest in land in Spotsylvania County as well as a King William County plantation called Romancoke from her first husband, Henry Seaton (1659-1713). Her mother, Elizabeth Bernard, was the daughter of Col. William Bernard and his wife Lucy (daughter of Mr. Hickerson and widow of a man named Burwell). Elizabeth Seaton Moore's infant son with Henry Seaton, George Seaton (1711-1750) would inherit that property upon reaching legal age. Thus, Augustine Moore raised him at his Chelsea plantation, together with his own children.
Augustine Moore took care that his children married well, so that his descendants became among the First Families of Virginia. His eldest daughter Elizabeth Moore (1716-1779) may have married first Lyonell Lloyd (who died in 1737) before she married Col. James Macon (1721-1768), and their daughters Mary and Elizabeth married Burgesses William Aylett and Bartholomew Dandridge. Augustine Moore's firstborn son, Augustine Moore, may not have married and definitely died before 1760, when his brothers Bernard and Thomas inherited his lands pursuant to the terms of this man's will. During this man's lifetime, their sister Lucy (1716- circa 1750) married the influential widower John Robinson.
Career
After sailing to Virginia, Moore initially settled in Isle of Wight County, then bought land to the west in the York River watershed. He gained the nickname "Old Grubb" because he cleared so much land. Chelsea is near the Mattaponi River in King William County, about six miles upstream from its junction with the Pamunkey River which thus forms the York River at present day West Point. Augustine Moore bought the land from the Graves family in 1705, and by 1709 had erected a weatherboard house with a brick foundation. Between 1723 and 1740 Moore built a Georgian style brick house on the property, which his son and principal heir, Bernard Moore, expanded to fit his large family circa 1755-1760.
Augustine Moore farmed tobacco at least in part using enslaved labor. He held local offices including on the vestry of the local parish and as an officer of the local militia. He also hired the painter Charles Bridges to paint portraits of his family, which were hung at Chelsea, but most of which are now owned by the Colonial Williamsburg foundation. His descendent, future CSA General Robert E. Lee, often visited his grandmother at Chelsea and spent time in the room where they hung, reportedly saying, “I don’t like to leave my ancestors, these old Romans.”
Moore became a friend of Governor Alexander Spotswood, and family tradition claims that the Knights of the Golden Horseshow were organized at Chelsea, then proceded across the Mattaponi River to rest the next day at the home of Robert Beverley, before a rendezvous at Germanna in then-vast Orange County.
Death and legacy
Old Grubb Moore died on July 28, 1743, survived by his widow and several children, including Bernard Moore, who inherited Chelsea and named his firstborn son (who eventually represented King William County in the Virginia House of Delegates) after his father. His grandsons Bernard and Alexander Moore fought for independence during the American Revolutionary War, and General Lafayette camped at Chelsea shortly before the Yorktown siege that ended the conflict.
Moore's descendants sold Chelsea in 1874, and it passed through several hands before being restored and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. The Historic Virginia Land Conservancy has held a conservancy easement on the property since 2012.

is a fictional character featured in the Persona series primarily developed and published by Atlus, appearing as a main character in the 1999 role-playing video game Persona 2: Innocent Sin, in addition to its direct sequel Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (2000), both initially released for the PlayStation. Debuting as the main player protagonist in the former game, he is portrayed as a silent character whose thoughts and actions are decided by the player, whereas he appears in a supporting capacity with a defined voice and characterization in the latter entry. He is a student attending Seven Sisters High School in Sumaru City alongside his best friend Lisa "Ginko" Silverman, until they are both encouraged to investigate a mysterious phenomenon involving rumors being spread around their school coming to fruition as a result of the obscured entity known as "Joker". He along with Silverman, subsequently awakens to a power concealed within them known as the "Persona"—metaphysical deities representing his subconscious spirit, and learns to wield said power when embarking on a trip across the city to investigate the origins of the rumor phenomenon.
Tatsuya was designed by Kazuma Kaneko, lead character designer on the first three main entries in the Persona series in addition to numerous other titles in the larger Megami Tensei franchise. Kaneko commented on the character's sexuality and relationship towards another party member in Innocent Sin, Jun Kurosu, stating that his characterization and design stemmed from a desire to attract the Yaoi subculture within the Japanese fanbase, consisting of young females valuing homosexual relationships between fictional male characters. The character is voiced by Takehito Koyasu in Japanese, and in English by Kim Strauss in the original PlayStation version of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, while he's voiced by Keith Silverstein in the PlayStation Portable remake of Innocent Sin, which was the first time the latter game was made available in territories outside of Japan. Outside of the main entries, Suou has also appeared in Persona 2: Tsumi - Lost Memories, a mobile RPG adapting Innocent Sin's narrative, as well as Persona 2: Innocent Sin ~ The Errors of Their Youth, an audio drama CD that serves as a prologue to the events of Eternal Punishment.
Tatsuya Suou's character has been positively received by critics and fans across the Persona 2 duology, with many holding his characterization and relationship arc with Jun Kurosu in particularly high regard.
Character creation
Tatsuya Suou was designed by Kazuma Kaneko, the primary artist behind the PlayStation entries in the Persona series, as well as a recurring artist throughout the Megami Tensei franchise. The central theme behind the characters present throughout the Persona 2 duology was intended to revolve around the exploration of the human condition, and the main characters discovering their true selves. Innocent Sin's theme in particular centralized on the growth of teenagers and how they overcame hardships in life. While designing Suou and the other main characters in Innocent Sin, Kaneko emphasized the character's focus in the narrative. In order to prioritize this through the character's visual direction, Tatsuya and Lisa wore the same school uniform, while each main character was also given an item of importance to individually distinguish them. Throughout the game, Tatsuya carries a lighter, later revealed to have belonged to Jun prior to becoming Joker. Tatsuya had a characteristic habit of constantly flicking the lighter while idling, a habit he retained by purchasing a new lighter upon being transported to the Eternal Punishment timeline, since Jun and Tatsuya would've never met in that continuity and thus, he never would've received Jun's lighter as a gift during his childhood like he did previously.
Speaking on the same-sex relationship that can be initiated between Tatsuya and Jun in Innocent Sin, Kaneko stated the intention behind Tatsuya's characterization as an openly bisexual protagonist stemmed from Atlus' desire to capitalize on the growing fanbase in Japan for "yaoi" manga and anime, spearheaded by young female players who advocate for homosexual relationships between fictional male characters. The developers also expressed an interest in using Tatsuya and Jun's openly-romantic dynamic to make players question their perception towards non-heterosexuality.
Appearances
In Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Tatsuya, an attendee of Seven Sisters High School, receives a letter from fellow student and childhood friend Lisa Silverman about a student having been kidnapped by the gang leader of rival school Kasugyama High School. Upon visiting the Sumaru City prison as directed by said gang leader, Eikichi Mishina, it is revealed that the victim was used as bait to persuade Suou to join his band he formed with his friends. Lisa provokes Eikichi into a fight between her, Tatsuya and himself, with the latter summoning his Persona, Rhadamantus, to knock both of them out, eventually causing them to awaken to their respective Personas, with Tatsuya receiving Vulcanus—the Roman God of fire. All three pass out thereafter, being summoned by Philemon, who informs them of their newfound abilities and the oncoming phenomenon regarding rumors being spread throughout their respective schools becoming reality.
The three students are joined by journalist Maya Amano and her close friend & photographer Yukino Mayuzumi. The five collectively search for the mysterious entity known as "Joker", who had contacted Suou, Silverman and Mishina upon their attempt to play the Persona game, which Yukino similarly did during her tenure as a student at St. Hermelin High. Their search for who they believe to be the source of rumors becoming reality leads them to confront Joker on multiple occasions, with the figure eventually revealing himself to be Jun Kurosu, Tatsuya's closest friend. This discovery causes the team to recall memories of their childhood, when they once partook in a play group known as the "Masked Circle", where Maya was treated as the authoritative figure, while Tatsuya, Lisa, Eikichi and Jun were all suboordinates in the games they played together. They eventually reminisce about the fateful day their shrine was set on fire by an arsonist similarly named Tatsuya Sudou, after Maya had been locked in the shrine by Lisa and Eikichi in an attempt to prevent her from leaving the playgroup and moving abroad with her father. Suou managed to awaken to his Persona then, attacking the arsonist and suffering a knife wound during the conflict, while Maya was presumed dead. In actuality, she survived as she awoke to her Persona, Maia, who gave her protection, whilst the incident would cause her to develop an extreme case of pyrophobia.
Since the incident, Jun repressed his feelings and used Joker as a platform to make other people's wishes and aspirations come true using rumors, in order to atone for his own mistakes. Realizing his manipulation under the god Nyarlathotep after being defeated by the team, he sheds his Joker form and resumes his civilian identity, reconciling with Tatsuya. Yukino then forfeits her ability to summon Personas, granting Jun her power. By then, they hear of a widely spread rumor that the former Führer of Germany, Adolf Hitler, had in fact survived World War II and amassed a secret militia of artificial Nazi soldiers known as the Last Battalion. As he prepares to invade Sumaru City, Tatsuya and his acquaintances fight off their forces in conjunction with the remaining members of the Masked Circle cult, in addition to their corrupted Shadow-selves, who came into conflict upon tempting them with their suppressed desires. Upon defeating the remnants of the Masked Circle cult, the party's Personas evolve to their ultimate forms, with Tatsuya awakening to Apollo--Greek god of the Sun.
Towards the end of their journey, Tatsuya and the team board Xibalba, an alien spaceship that materialized as a result of another rumor coming true, where they find, confront and defeat the Fuhrer. Hitler eventually reveals himself to the party as Nyarlathotep himself, who had orchestrated the preceding events of the narrative as part of a bet he made with Philemon that humanity's negatives would vastly outweigh their positives. After being defeated in his final form, he subsequently summons and orders Maya Okumura, whom had been posing as Lisa's homeroom teacher at Seven Sisters, to impale Maya Amano with the Spear of Destiny—the blade said to have pierced Jesus Christ and causes a mortal wound the second it strikes skin. Maya bids farewell to the team before passing on, surrounded by her friends, and thus fulfills the prophesized destruction of the world. Tatsuya, heartbroken, willingly relinquishes the memories he had with his friends in exchange for saving Maya's life, thus saving Sumaru City from the ongoing collapse of the world, and creating a new timeline of events where Nyarlathotep failed his mission, allowing Suou to begin anew and prosper.
In Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Tatsuya leads a sheltered life in the new timeline. He is revealed to have inherited the body of the Tatsuya native to this timeline while having retained all of his memories of the preceding events in Innocent Sin. Through the possession of his new body, he hopes to permanently seal Nyarlathotep away in order to atone for his inability to forget his childhood friends like he claimed he would. He investigates the new JOKER phenomenon independently of the new timeline's Maya and his brother Katsuya, insisting on staying alone in order to prevent any of his friends from regaining their memories of the previous timeline, which threatened to undo the spell Philemon cast that restored the world to its state prior to being destroyed. Despite these efforts, he is reluctantly assisted by Shiori Miyashiro, an officer at the Kounan Police Department who assists his and Katsuya's father.
Eventually, his forced partner is corrupted by JOKER, turning her into a demon-infused Shadow, who Tatsuya confronts and subsequently sedates. Taking her to the Velvet Room, he pleaded with its proprietor, Igor to restore her, intending on continuing his journey alone. Reluctantly, he accepts the help of Maya and Katsuya—both of whom have been joined subsequently in their own efforts to investigate the JOKER conspiracy by other Persona users. Though they are successful in their attempt to restore Shiori to purity, they come into conflict again with Nyarlathotep, who mocks Tatsuya for his inability to uphold his end of the promise he made to Philemon. Upon his defeat, Tatsuya finally reconciles his feelings and is presented another opportunity to return to the "Other Side". He willingly relinquishes all of the bonds he formed with his acquaintances and close friends, bidding farewell to them as he vacated the body of This Side's Tatsuya and returned to his original timeline.
In Persona 3
In Persona 3 (2006), Tatsuya makes an off-screen cameo appearance on the in-universe talk show Who's Who?. At this point in life he is said to be in his twenties, and aspires to become a policeman like his older brother Katsuya.
Another, more indirect reference to Tatsuya is found in the game through the protagonist's Social Link with his homeroom teacher, Ms. Toriumi. Toriumi is a frequent player of the in-universe MMORPG "Innocent Sin Online" (itself a reference to the game Persona 2: Innocent Sin), and converses with the protagonist exclusively through the in-game chat prior to reaching the max rank of the Social Link. The protagonist's username in the game is "tatsuya", referencing Suou, while Toriumi talks to you as "maya", referencing Maya Amano, a main character in Innocent Sin and the main playable protagonist of Eternal Punishment.
Reception
Tatsuya Suou has been positively received by critics and fans across his two major appearances in the Persona 2 duology. Writing for RPGFan, Neal Chandran remarked that "he fits the mute lead role quite well, as he is a private person". He further praises his characterization as being distinct from other examples of silent protagonists in the JRPG genre, exclaiming, "...unlike many angsty teens, Tatsuya is surprisingly likeable, pretty sociable, and many of his actions show strength of character". In his review of Innocent Sin's remake for PlayStation Portable, IGN's Vince Ingenito commented that Tatsuya's characterization, among the other playable characters, "creates a serious commentary on the average person's willingness to believe anything they see or hear while making teenage ennui manifest in tangibly dangerous ways", while also likening the game's overall narrative and portrayal of its characters, to an episode of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003).

San Giorgio in Kemonia, some decades ago renamed as San Giuseppe Cafasso, is a Roman Catholic parish church located on Via dei Benedettini #13 in the city of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. In 1953, the church was rededicated to Joseph Cafasso (1811-1860), patron saint of prisoners, due to former nearby female prison. The apse of the ancient church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti ends on the right flank of the church. Across the street are a series of building forming the Giovanni di Cristina Children's Hospital.
History
Churches at this site have had many owners. The church was built near or atop a former stream or river (Kemonia) that flowed through to a bay, which formed part of the Palermo harbor; but the river ceased to flow by the 16th century. A church was putatively present at the site by the 4th century, and after the Norman conquest of Sicily, a church here was affiliated with a Cistercian monastery. Later the church was assigned to the Olivetan order, with benedictine monks deriving from the monastery of Santa Maria di Monte Oliveto allo Spasimo in town. In 1765, a major refurbishment was begun that transformed the then 14th-century church into a late-baroque style.
The facade is made with yellow stone and proliferates with pilasters. The portico has broken tympanum and protrudes with two columns. The interior has a single nave with three chapels to each side. The apse still retains its medieval semicircular layout. The interior walls are decorated in stucco by the Serpotta family. Among the frescoes is the ceiling painting depicting the Madonna grants St Benedict the habit of his order by Giuseppe Tresca. The Crucifix reliquary in the third chapel on the right was made by Giuseppe Marabitti.

One Hundred Aspects of the Moon or in Japanese is a collection of 100 ōban size ukiyo-e woodblock prints by Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi printed in batches, starting in 1885 until 1892. It represents one of Yoshitoshi's later works. The woodblock prints feature various famous figures, both historical and literary characters, each in a moonlit scene as well as occasional references to poetry.
History
This series of 100 prints was published in 1885-92 by Akiyama Buemon. The subjects are drawn from various sources in Japanese and Chinese history and literature, Kabuki and Noh theatre, and even contemporary Tokyo, linked only by the presence of the moon in each print. The creation of mood according to the phase of the moon was exploited for its poetic and expressive possibilites. This was the most successful and still the most famous of Yoshitoshi’s print series. People would queue before dawn to buy each new design and still find the edition sold out.

Sivilisasjonens venterom (Norwegian for "Civilization's Waiting Room") was a research larp (live-action roleplaying game) held in Bergen in November 2021. It was designed to explore the potential of larps as a research methodology and as research dissemination, and was specifically intended to investigate ethical questions that arise when encountering new surveillance technologies.
Background
The project was funded by the Research Council of Norway as part of a scheme to increase the Norwegian impact of EU-funded research. The stated goal was to "create arenas where the general public can practice making ethical decisions about the use of new technologies, specifically machine vision technologies such as facial recognition, deepfakes and VR"
The creative lead for the project was veteran larp developer Anita Myhre Andersen, working with Harald Misje, Jon Andreas Edland, Toril Mjelva Saatvedt, Sebastian Sjøvold and Eskil Mjelva Saatvedt. The researchers in the development team were Marianne Gunderson, Kristian A. Bjørkelo, and Jill Walker Rettberg, who had initiated the project.
The larp drew upon the Nordic larp genre as well as on research on educational larping (Edu-larp) and larps as research tools
Setting and gameplay
Civilization's Waiting Room was set in a future where society has unravelled due to climate change and war. The Civilization (Sivilisasjonen) is a city state that is a rare refuge from the surrounding wilderness. It is run by a benevolent AI known as Intelligensen ("the Intelligence") that bases all of its decisions on the sum of all the opinions and interests of the citizens, as it interprets these based on the extensive data it collects and is fed by the citizens. Sivilisasjonen was therefore imagined as an AI-based democracy.
The overall story arc of Sivilisasjonens Venterom unfolded over a dramatic day in the reception hall, starting in the morning with new applicants arriving, and ending in the evening with a ceremony in which those who had learned to manipulate the system were granted citizenship and access to Sivilisasjonen. During the day there were small personal dramas, planned plot twists and unplanned incidents, as well as large-scale hacking of the Intelligence undermining the foundational ideology of Sivilisasjonen. Players experienced conflicts on a personal level, as their characters had their interpersonal relationship challenged by technological mediation, as well as by their shifting interpretation of how this society worked. Participants also experienced large-scale drama as a group when the social framework of the Intelligence cracked and for a little while was replaced by a small group of more individuality-oriented hackers led by one of the organizers.
Three related larps set in the same fictional world were Ettersynsing ("Opticionated"), a short form larp using a dinner table setting that was run at the NORA 2021 conference on AI, Mønsterakademiet, a short larp set in a school that trained citizens for the Civilization, and Hawa, a larp for children run by the larp development company Tidsreiser that was set in another part of the world where there are no adults, and robots bring up children in an attempt to mould them into peaceful, productive citizens.
Reception
In his MA thesis, Jon Andreas Edland argued that the "opportunity to observe a theme or situation from different sides and thus grants a larger room for reflection and understanding based on the context of the situation".

"Rush Hour" is an instrumental composition by Dutch disc jockey and record producer Armin van Buuren. The song was released in the Netherlands by Armind on 25 June 2007 as the only single from van Buuren's compilation A State of Trance 2007. It was the official anthem of 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in the Netherlands. It exists a version of the track starting with an introduction called "Miserere".
Critical reception
9 years after its release, Idris Jones from webmedia We Rave You affirmed that "'Rush Hour' is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive, significant and timeless Trance tracks of all time." He acclaimed "its opening atmosphere, the high tempo rhythmic percussion that underlays the rising chords set a spine tingling precedent for the remainder of the track".

The February 1977 Israeli Labor Party leadership election was held on 23 February 1977. It saw Yitzhak Rabin re-elected as the party's leader. Rabin defeated Shimon Peres. It was the second of four leadership contests in which Rabin and Peres faced each other (after the 1974 and followed by the 1980, and 1992 leadership elections).
It had been anticipated that the winner of this leadership election would lead the Israeli Labor Party party into the 1977 Knesset election. However, Rabin ultimately announced his resignation before this election, and Peres was instead selected in an April vote held by the Israeli Labor Party's Central Committee to lead the party into that election.
Candidates
Shimon Peres, member of the Knesset since 1959, Minister of Defense since 1974, former Minister of Information (1974), former Minister of Transportation (1970–1974), and former Minister of Imigration Absorption (1969–1970)
Yitzhak Rabin, incumbent leader since 1974, Prime Minister since 1974, member of the Knesset since 1973, former Minster of Labour (1974), former ambassador to the United States (1968–1973), and former Chief of the General Staff (1964–1968)
Background
The race came at a moment where Labor was facing the prospect of seeing its 28-consecutive years of government leadership end, with the right-wing Likud bloc and the centrist Democratic Movement for Change being seen as cutting into the Labor Party's support for the upcoming 1977 Knesset election.
Campaign
The race was a close battle between the incumbent Rabin and Peres, who had faced each other for leadership in the preceding 1974 leadership election.
Rabin and Peres held little policy difference. Peres was seen as slightly to the right of Rabin on domestic matters.
Rabin argued to the electorate that replacing him would divide the party and harm its image, and painted an image of himself as a positive leader for the nation. Peres, on the other hand, argued to the elecotrate that the Labor Party needed to satfisfy the nation's desire for change by choosing a new leader for itself.
Rabin received support from most of his cabinet, as well as Golda Meir, his predecessor as party leader and prime minister. The day before the vote, Rabin pledged to renew efforts to reach a peace agreement with the Arabs.
Voting procedure
The election's electorate was 3,000 delegates to the party's convention, This was the first time that the party selected its leader by a vote of convention delegates, having previously held leadership elections through either a vote by the party's Central Committee or other party agencies. Ahead of the vote, the result leadership election was seen as uncertain in outcome, a departure from previous leadership elections, which were largely a ratification of the already-chosen selection of party bosses.

Richard Watson (1611–12 – 1684–5) was a Church of England clergyman, Royalist divine, controversialist, and poet.
Life
Richard Watson, son of William Watson, merchant, was born in the parish of St. Katharine Cree, London, in 1612, and is said to have studied for five years in the Merchant Taylors' School under Mr. Augur, though his name does not occur in the Registers. On 22 December 1628 he was admitted a sizar of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He proceeded BA in 1632, commenced MA in 1636, and was elected a junior fellow of his college in September 1636. From 1636 to 1642 he was headmaster of the Perse Grammar School at Cambridge. He held the college offices of lecturer in rhetoric in 1639, Greek lecturer in 1642, and Hebrew lecturer in 1643. Being a zealous defender of the Church of England, he preached a sermon touching schism (Cambridge, 1642, 4to) at St. Mary's, the university church, in 1642, and, as this was highly offensive to the Presbyterians, he was ejected from his fellowship and his school. Afterwards, "to avoid their barbarities", he withdrew to France, and was patronised at Paris by Sir Richard Browne, Clerk of His Majesty's Council, and for some months he officiated in that gentleman's oratory or chapel, where he frequently argued with the opposite party concerning the visibility of their church. Subsequently, he became chaplain to Ralph, Lord Hopton, in whose service he continued until that nobleman's death in 1652, being then "accounted one of the prime sufferers of the English clergy beyond the seas". He afterwards resided at Caen.
At the Restoration he was re-elected fellow of Caius College, and he demanded his original seniority, 30l. a year as compensation for his sequestered fellowship from 1644, and 3l. a year for the rent of his rooms from the same date. The college refused to grant this demand, but allowed him 10l. a year "for the present". Later, on 5 July 1662, he was allowed the value of his fellowship for the two years and a half during which it was vacant after his ejection, and some allowance was made for rent of his rooms "out of respect to his deserts and sufferings". On 29 April 1662 Watson, who at that time was one of the chaplains to James, Duke of York, was created by diploma D.D. of the University of Oxford. In September 1662 he was presented to the rectory of Pewsey, Wiltshire. He was collated to the prebend of Warminster Ecclesia in the church of Sarum on 29 March 1666; was appointed master of the hospital at Heytesbury, Wiltshire, in 1671; and on 19 December 1671 he was installed in the prebend of Bitton in the church of Sarum. He died on 13 January 1684–5. Wood says he was "a good scholar, but vain and conceited".

Besides sermons and several copies of Latin verse, Watson published:

Erratus is an extinct genus of marine arthropod from the Cambrian of China. Its type and only species is Erratus sperare. Erratus occupies a transitional position between lobopodians and true arthropods, and its discovery has helped scientists understand the early evolution of arthropod trunk appendages. Some of the stem-arthropods like radiodonts did not have legs, instead they had flap like appendages that helped them swim. Erratus on the other hand have not only flaps but also a set of primitive legs. It also supported the theory that the gills of aqautic arthropods probably evolved into the wings and lungs of terrestrial arthropods later in the Paleozoic.
Fossils of Erratus have been found in the Chengjiang Lagerstätte of China, dating to around 520 million years ago. Erratus was a small, nektonic organism with a bivalved carapace that probably ate by deposit feeding or filter feeding.
History of study
The holotype consists of specimens XDBZ101 and XDBZ102. The paratype specimen, NWUS92-310, had previously been referred to Isoxys auritus. Both specimens were collected from the Helinpu Formation in Yunnan, China. Erratus sperare was named by Fu and colleagues in 2022. The genus name is Latin for "roaming", in reference to the inferred nektonic habit of the organism, and the species name is Latin for "hope". The holotype specimens consist of a part and counterpart of an individual, and an isolated carapace. The paratype consists of a carapace with a anterior spine, as well as seven anterior body fragments.
Significance for understanding arthropod evolution
The relationship between the components of the biramous limb of many euarthropod groups, which consists of an exopod and an endopod, and the lopopods and flaps of lobopodians and radiodonts has long been controversial. Erratus appears to show one of the earliest steps in the evolution of the endopod, with an unsclerotized endopod fused to a flap that is attached to the body wall, rather than being a branch of the appendage like an exopod. Fu et al. 2022 describes the species as having "unique trunk appendages formed of lateral anomalocaridid-type flaps and ventral subconical endopods". The fossils indicate that the species represent "an intermediate stage of biramous limb evolution".
Description
Known specimens of Erratus measure in length. The arthropod had a bivalved carapace that covered the top, which possess an anterior spine but rounded posteriorly. A pair of lateral eyes located near the anterior spine of the carapace. The eyes appear to have no lenses, and the stalks appear to be as long as the eyes. On the bottom of the arthropod were 11 pairs of wide body flaps with gill-like wrinklings. The flaps decreased in size towards the bottom of the arthropod. As in gilled lobopodians and radiodonts, the flaps were connected to the body wall. The anterior 7 pairs of body flaps each posses a medially-arranged endopod (inner branch). Each endopod was a simple, 7-segmented leg, lacking any evidences of endites (internal projections) and claws. The posterior 4 pairs of body flaps lacking endopods, but the wrinklings are more prominent. Ventral head structures between the eyes and body flaps are yet to be discovered, it is also uncertain if the trunk end possess a telson.
Classification
A phylogenetic analysis conducted by Fu et al. 2022 found that Erratus was a basal arthropod, branched before isoxyids (Isoxys and Surusicaris) and other euarthropods (hymenocarines, fuxianhuiids, megacheirans, trilobites and so on), but more derived than other stem-arthropods like gilled lobopodians (Pambdelurion and Kerygmachela), Opabinia and radiodonts (Anomalocaris, Hurdia and so on).
Paleoecology
Erratus was a member of the Chengjiang Biota, which dates to the Cambrian period, 520 million years ago. During this time the area was a tropical region with sea level changes and tectonic activity. Most of the fauna were primarily benthic, and were probably buried via turbidity currents. Brachiopods, ctenophores, phoronids, and other arthropods are represented in the biota. One of the most important creatures from the site is Myllokunmingia, an early chordate that might be one of the oldest agnathans (jawless fish.) The site also preserves more enigmatic fauna, like Yunnanozoon lividum, which might be a very early hemichordate or chordate, Eldonia has been suggested to have been a holothurian, siphonophoran, or other cnidarian, and Dinomischus, a very rare stalked animal that could be an echinoderm.

Invención de la Santa Cruz (Spanish for Invention of the Holy Cross) is a historic Catholic parish church located in Bayamón Pueblo, the historic and administrative downtown area of Bayamón, Puerto Rico. The church is located on the Plaza de Hostos, the main town square of Bayamón, at 12 Degetau Street, in front of the former city hall and current Francisco Oller Museum building.
The establishment of the current church dates to 1750 when construction of the structure began with plans to move the main Catholic parish of the area from its former location next to Hacienda Santa Cruz to the current location, then known as Alto del Embarcadero, a small hill located close to the Bayamón River. Construction of the church was gradual and lasted for the remaining of the century with important updates being made in 1772 (the current church structure) and 1782. The consecration of the church in 1772 coincides with the official founding of the municipality of Bayamón on May 22, 1772.
The church was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1984, and consequently listed on September 18, 1984.

Oronoque was built as the country home of Birdseye Blakeman, Esq., and is located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The building was designed by William Henry Miller and built by Powers & Sons, Rochester. The house exterior was built to resemble a royal hunting lodge. The 12 acre grounds were landscaped by Nathan Franklin Barrett.
History
Birdseye Blakeman (1824-1894) purchased 12 acres of land on Prospect Hill in Stockbridge, Massachusetts in 1886 and built the summer home "Oronoque" in 1887. Cut stone was used to construct the basement and first floor, wooden framing and shingling the second and third stories. The house was named Oronoque after the district in Stratford, Connecticut where Blakeman's permanent residence was located. Oronoque originally had 24 rooms and 7 fireplaces. A caretaker's residence and a six-car garage were added later. Blakeman was partners with Henry Ivison (at 4 Prospect Hill Road) of the New York school textbook publishing firm Ivison, Blakeman and Co. This firm later consolidated with others into the American Book Company. Blakeman passed in 1894, just a few years after the house was built. His widow summered at Oronoque until her death in 1912.
The property was sold by Mrs. Blakeman's granddaughter, Anna M. Vesey, to banker Norman Davis in 1912. He was an ambassador-at-large for the United States and served as Chairman of the American Red Cross from 1938 to 1944. The Davises added extensive stonework to the property. When Mr. Davis died in 1944 he left a maintenance endowment for the property in his will. The house was then used for a few years during summers for the Meadowcroft Camp School for boys and girls. In 1949 the long-time caretakers, Wendel H. Krebs and his wife Ruth, were transferred a cottage and an acre of land from the estate.
Marjorie H. Rosenthal acquired the property in 1950. She had plans to create the Oronoque School, a summer drama, art, and music school for girls. These plans were abandoned the next year when Marjorie, now Mrs. Basil Greenblatt, became seriously ill.
Julliard-trained baritone Mordecai Bauman and his wife Irma Bauman acquired Oronoque in 1967 and founded the Indian Hill Music Workshop. A theater, dance studio, two "longhouses" (dormitories each housing 21 people), eleven wooden "teepees" (each with five beds), and two cottages were added. The property also had a swimming pool and two tennis courts. Notable alumni include Arlo Guthrie, Julie Taymor, Ruth Laredo,Dennis Boutsikaris and Frank Rich. The illegal garbage dumping in 1965 detailed in Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant was done next door to Indian Hill, on Nelson Foote, Sr.'s property.
In 1975 Brooklyn College, where Mordecai Bauman taught, acquired Indian Hill from the Baumans. Due to funding cuts Indian Hill was discontinued by the end of 1977. Boston University acquired the property in 1978 to support Tanglewood.
In 1986 the building was purchased by the Oronoque Realty Corp., which converted the mansion into six condominiums and later built four duplexes down the hill on the estate. The various teepees, longhouses, and other camp buildings were removed. The property continues as a condominium association to the present.

Pelatantheria ctenoglossum is a species of epiphytic or lithophytic orchid occurring in China, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. This species closely resembles Pelatantheria bicuspidata both in its vegetative and generative morphology. It can also be easily confused with Pelatantheria woonchengii. The main difference lies in the morphology of the labellum. The specific epithet "ctenoglossum", meaning "comb tongue", refers to the comb like epergencies of the distal portion of the labellum. The stems are erect and rigid and bear fleshy, lanceolate and unequally bilobed leaves. The sepals are ovate, obtuse and have red striations on a yellow base colour. The labellum is fleshy andthree-lobed. The column bears tufted white hairs at its base. The chromosome count is 2n = 38.
Ecology
This species if found in broad-leaved, evergreen forests at 700 m a.s.l. on rocks or tree trunks. Flowering occurs in August.
Conservation
This species is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES and thus is regarded as potentially endangered.

The battle of Cauvi's farm occurred on December 24, 1702, during the War of the Camisards when Huguenot leader Jean Cavalier routed Alès' governor at Saint-Christol-lez-Alès.
Background
In July 1702, the Cévennes fell into civil war, as Protestant Huguenots called Camisards led an uprising against the regime of Louis XIV. On the night before December 24, Jean Cavalier and his soldiers burned a church in Saint-Privat-des-Vieux, in the northeast of Alès. That dawn, Cavalier's Camisards fled to a plain, hiding in the vicinity of a local farmer named Cauvi (alternatively spelled Cauvy). Cavalier arranged for a religious assembly that the region's Protestants could attend.
Battle
After seeing Saint-Privat's church in flames, the governor of Alès, Monsieur d'Aiguines, Gouverneur d'Alès, realized that Cavalier was attacking his territory, assembling an army composed of local militias from the nobility and a unit of dragoons. As the 500-strong troop made its way through the 5 km-long path to Cauvi's farm, a group of around fifty soldiers decided to go fight.
Jean Cavalier, after being alerted of M. d'Aiguines advancing army, organized his soldiers, which had only sixty people in them. Assisted by captain Esperandieu, he sent his best shooters to hide behind a mound of earth. The remaining soldiers stood in the plain, in full sight of the soldiers.
The advancing cavalry decided to ignore d'Aguines orders, launching a charge against the Camisards, only to be gunned down by a wave of snipers. Among those killed by the gunfire were the governor's aide-de-camp and the cavalry commander's horse. The cavalrymen fled the scene, trampling over the infantry as they ran. d'Aiguines forces fled in disorder to the Château de Montmoirac.
Aftermath
The first major Camisard victory, it heavily motivated the Huguenots and gave them a sense of pride in the Camisard cause. The next day Jean Cavalier was elected chief of the group.
The bodies of the people killed in the battle have been buried in the location close to where they died.
Saint-Christol-lez-Alès has become a deeply important site for French Protestants due to the battle's symbolism.

Thurloe Lodge is a house at 17 Thurloe Place in the South Kensington district of London. It was the home of the actor manager Nigel Playfair and was subsequently the home of Mark Birley who founded Annabel's nightclub in Berkeley Square. Birley's daughter, India Jane Birley, sold Thurloe Lodge in 2011 for £17 million.
History
The house began as a pair of semi-detached cottages built in 1843. The area in which the house stands was then considered to be Brompton. They were converted into a single residence in 1867. In 1922 the actor-manager Nigel Playfair bought the house on a long lease from Lady George Campbell who had inherited the Thurloe Estate. Playfair and his family had previously lived at 26 Pelham Crescent. He bought the cottages with the proceeds from his successful revival of The Beggar's Opera at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith. Playfair engaged Darcy Braddell to remodel the house. Humphry Deane was jointly credited with the remodelling work. Deane was Braddell's partner. Work began on the house in May 1922. In the spring of 1923, Playfair and his family moved into Thurloe Lodge. Giles Playfair, Nigel Playfair's son, wrote that his father "took as much interest in the building of his house as he had ever taken in one of his productions at the Lyric. Hardly a day passed without his meeting D'Arcy Braddell to discuss a new idea or to look over a new plan". The remodelling had cost twice as much as anticipated, and proved a drain on his finances in the wake of the failure of his light opera Midsummer Madness. Playfair would hold rehearsals for Midsummer Madness in the garden of Thurloe Lodge. The Playfair family moved from the house in late 1924 or early 1925, and Playfair found that the house sold for a far higher sum than he had anticipated. The actor John Gielgud attended Playfair's parties at the house and met the actors James Whale and his partner Doris Zinkeisen there. He recalled that they were the most "striking pair" in the room.
Playfair's interior decoration of Thurloe Lodge under highly individualistic for the early 1920s, though less daring than his previous residence in Pelham Crescent. The dining room had "emerald green curtains and a green carpet with a magenta border" to contrast the "waxed silver spruce" woodwork. In Playfair's study the floor had a chequer-board pattern.
Thurloe Lodge was the residence of Mark Birley for 30 years. Birley founded Annabel's nightclub in Berkeley Square. He died in 2007. Birley's daughter, India Jane Birley, sold Thurloe Lodge in 2011 for £17 million. An auction of 500 of Mark Birley's possessions from the house was held at Sotheby's in March 2013. The auction realised £3.85 million. A design by Nicky Haslam for a room at Thurloe Lodge for Mark Birley sold at Bonhams auction house in 2019.
Birley's extensive art collection was displayed throughout the house. A planning application to demolish the house and replace it with a neoclassical residence with a two-storey basement was subsequently approved by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Birley's son, Robin, said that he would consider it "vandalism" if the house was to be demolished, feeling that "It is a handsome 1840s house and I am amazed they think they can get away with it".
Birley's close friend, David Wynne-Morgan, lived in a cottage attached to Thurloe Lodge for over 10 years. Wynne-Morgan described the house under Birley as " ... sensational and beautiful — the biggest bachelor pad in London — and it was beautifully done".
Thurloe Lodge was not listed on the National Heritage List for England.

Mrs. Bartle Teeling (, Lane-Clarke; pen names, Norman Stuart and Isola; 1851 – November 1906) was a British writer. She published dozens of articles and biographical sketches, as well as several books, a play, and some music. Teeling died in 1906.
Early life
Theodora Louisa Lane-Clarke was born in Guernsey, but passed her childhood in Woodeaton, Oxfordshire, where her father, Rev. Thomas Clarke, was Rector. Her mother, Louisa Lane Clarke, was the author of several scientific, topographical, and historical works on the Channel Islands. Louisa's father was General Ambrose Lane, of County Tipperary.
When Rev. Clarke died, his widow returned with their only child to Guernsey in 1865, and became there a centre of literary and scientific interest and mental activity as student and writer of natural history, and author of several scientific manuals.
Career
Teeling's mother was a strong Protestant, but after years of anxious thought and deep but solitary research, for Teeling did not have a single Catholic acquaintance, she was received into the Catholic Church. Shortly after Teeling's conversion, while she was still under 21 years of age, she made her first essay in literature, at the request of Father William Lockhart, in The Lamp, of which he was editor.
After the death of her mother, Mrs. Teeling published some fifty articles and biographical sketches in The Month, Temple Bar, The Catholic World, and The Gentleman's Magazine. She was also a contributeor to the American Catholic Quarterly Review, The Dolphin, Blackwood's Magazine, The Ecclesiastical Review, The Ave Maria, Le Femme Contemporaine, and severl other literary and social magazines. Although she had seven young children to care for, scarcely a month passed that she had not an article in at least one of the many magazines to which she contributed. For a short time, she was a member of the Gosling Society, though it doesn't appear that she made any contributions of its magazine, The Monthly Packet.
Teeling used the pen name "Norman Stuart" for her writing, and the pseudonym "Isola" for composing and publishing music. Her publications include: Roman Violets (Burns & Oates), My Zouave (Burns & Oates), The Mission Cross (Washbourne), Her Last Stake (Benziger), The Violet Sellers (a play), Through Night to Light (a serial), as well as Music : A Song by Isola (Augener), and Old English Carols (Shapcott). She also published several biographies, chiefly of foreign celebrities, in leading U.S. and English reviews and magazines.
Personal life
In 1879, she married Bartholomew ("Bartle") John Teeling (1848–1921). The marriage was solemnized by Father Lockhart, and was the first marriage which took place in the historic church of St. Etheldreda since the Reformation.
Her husband served as Captain in the Rifle Brigade, Secretary (1872) of the Catholic Union of Ireland, and Private Chamberlain to the Pope. Captain Bartle publications included, Military Maxims and Apophthegms of Commanders Ancient and Modern (Sampson Low), 1881; My Weatherwise Companion (Blackwood)' My First Prisoner, by the Governor (Aberdeen & London); "Arrested by Her Majesty's Guard of Honour" (The Month), 1895; "Oh, ye Châteaux of Savoy!" (The Month), 1895; and "A Day in Savoy" (New Ireland Review), 1899.
Two sons, Ambrose Teeling and Luke Joseph Teeling, died during World War I.

Booker T Washington High School was a school for Black children in Texarkana, Arkansas before school integration.
Early Black education in Texarkana
Before the integration of public schools in Arkansas, Texarkana had several black learning institutions. These included Orr School, College Hill School, and Ash Street High School. Orr School was funded by donations from a prominent Texarkana family to help Black Children learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Originally a two-story building was created, but after a fire it was rebuilt as a single floor building. Downing School, later renamed College Hill School was another of these institutions. In 1908 this school moved from College Hill to Draughn Avenue where a frame building was erected for grades 1-4. In 1923 children in grades 1-11 were being educated in Ash Street School at 816 Ash Street in the first story of a two story building.
In 1924, the board purchased some rural land at the intersection of Pinehurst and Preston. The school was housed there in an old three-room shotgun house, which was destroyed in a fire a few months later. After the fire, classes were held in the basement of St. James Baptist Church, which had dirt floors.
In 1925 construction of Booker T. Washington High School commenced with a mix of funding from local contributions and the Rosenwald Fund.
In 1930, the school added the sports of football and basketball, using Lions as the team nickname.
Washington High School was consolidated into Arkansas High School in the fall of 1968.
