Olivier Guimond (père), born on March 18, 1893, in Sudbury, Ontario, died in Montreal, Quebec on October 9, 1954 (aged 61), was a comedian, humorist, and burlesque revue leader who was very famous in Quebec between the mid-1910s and the late 1940s. He was the father of comedian Olivier Guimond (fils) and the grandfather of dubbing actor Richard Darbois.
Biography
Early years
He started his career at a very young age, in English. He played in a duet with Nosey Black, a New York vaudeville performer. But this early career did not support him and he had to work at other jobs such as a shoeshine boy at the Ottawa train station.
It was there that Arthur Petrie, who became Juliette Petrie's husband, discovered Olivier Guimond while on tour in Ontario around 1912. While waiting to catch a train at the Ottawa Station, he stopped to shine his shoes. The young man shining his shoes was Olivier Guimond and he kept singing and dancing while doing his job. Arthur Petrie offered him a better salary and Olivier followed him for the rest of the tour. From his first appearance, he was so successful that Arthur Petrie gave him a bigger role and quickly gave him the stage name of "Ti-zoune" that another comic, who had already left the theater, had held before him. The first "Ti-zoune" was Pierre Desrosiers, the father of Jacques Desrosiers. The nickname is sometimes spelled "Tizoune" without the hyphen, but the most commonly observed form remains "Ti-zoune".
In a few weeks, he became one of the stars of Arthur Petrie's troupe. There he met Effie MacDonald, a dancer, whom he married in 1913. Olivier Guimond (fils) was born of this union in 1914.
Burlesque troupe leader
In the late 1910s, he co-directed a successful burlesque troupe with Arthur Petrie. However, a dispute led Guimond to create his own troupe. The separation between the two partners was difficult.
Their son (Olivier Guimond Jr.) accompanied them on their tours until the age of seven (1921); they then sent him to boarding school at Mont-Saint-Louis in Ahunstic, Montreal.
Initially (in the late 1910s and early 1920s), no doubt influenced by the context of the time, his Franco-Ontarian childhood, and the influence of American burlesque, Ti-zoune performed in English in Montreal even though his audience was mostly French-speaking. He made the transition to French gradually from the mid-1920s and participated in the creation of a French-language burlesque repertoire. He was thus following in the footsteps of his former associate Arthur Petrie, who had begun presenting burlesque shows in French in the late 1910s.
In 1922, Guimond, now nicknamed "Ti-zoune" by everyone, formed his own troupe and toured for several years. Several stars participated in the shows and tours of his troupe, including Rose Ouellette, known as La Poune, Manda Parent, Paul Desmarteaux, and the wife of Olivier Guimond Sr., dancer Effie MacDonald.
Legacy
Burlesque — a genre composed mainly of humorous monologues and improvised sketches in which stripping is excluded — dominated the Montreal stage from the 1920s to the 1950s before television eclipsed it. Initially performed in English and heavily influenced by American vaudeville, burlesque in Quebec owes its remarkable success in French almost exclusively to three performers who all led numerous French-language burlesque troupes: Arthur Petrie (husband of Juliette Petrie), Olivier Guimond Sr., the most popular comic of the time, and a little later, Rose Ouellette ("La Poune"), who learned her art from Guimond and remained the queen of burlesque until the disappearance of theatrical practice. Indeed, in the early 1920s, Olivier Guimond had a major influence on Rose Ouellette's career, even going so far as to give her her stage name, "La Poune".
According to Juliette Petrie and Jean Grimaldi, Olivier Guimond Sr. was and remains the greatest comic in the history of Canadian burlesque.
Death
Guimond died of cancer in Montreal on October 9, 1954, at the age of 61, at the Royal Victoria Hospital, after a year of illness. He is buried at Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.

Gironima Spana (1615-5 July 1659) was an Italian poisoner and astrologer. She was the central figure in the infamous Spana Prosecution against a net of poison merchant women in Rome, who distributed the famous poison Aqua Tofana to clients who wished to commit murder, in particular women who wished to become widows. She was executed alongside four women accomplices for having distributed poison to clients with the intent of murder. She has also been called Girolama Spara, Girolama Spala, La Strologa, La Profetessa and L'Indovina, but Gironima Spana was the spelling she herself used in court documents.
Biography
Early life and origin
Gironima Spana was born in Sicily as the daughter of the wealthy Niccolo Spano, who was provisioning Spanish galleys and overseeing expenditures of Palermo's Ospedale degli Spagnol. She became the stepdaughter of Giulia Mangiardi (1581-1651), traditionally known in history as "Giulia Tofana") recognized as the inventor of the poison Aqua Tofana or Aqua Toffanica, which she allegedly sold commercially in Palermo; the poison is claimed to have been named after her alleged mother Thofania d'Adamo, but there is nothing to indicate that d'Adamo was the mother of Giulia Mangiardi.
After Gironima's father died, her stepmother remarried in 1624 to the well-off real estate investor Cesare Ranchetti (1564-1654).
Activity
In 1624, the family fled to her maternal uncle in Rome, the cleric and astrologer Andrea Lorestino (d. 1627).
Her stepfather Cesare Ranchetti was described as a spendthrift who ruined the family's economy; Gironima Spana had to marry in 1629 at the age of fourteen, and her stepmother became a professional marriage maker but also, unofficially, allegedly resumed her business as a poison distributor in Rome. The family is known to have been established on the Via della Lungara in Rome in 1643. Spana was married to Niccolo Caiozzi (d. 1657), a Florentine grain speculator, who was described as an adulterous spendthrift, but he is not listed as living with her after 1640 and he is known to have left Rome in 1655 to escape his creditors.
Gironima Spana officially established herself as a professional astrologer and a distributor of herbal medicine. However, she was also instructed by her stepmother in how to manufacture and sell the Aqua Tofana poison. Together, the two women trafficked deadly poison and specialized in selling poison to women married to abusive husbands. Giulia Mangiardi was later described by contemporaries who met her in Rome as "a nasty, ugly woman" and "unpleasant and raggedy", but Gironima had a very good relationship with her stepmother, whom she described as "una brava donna" ('a good woman').
Historians point to her stepmother dying in her sleep in 1651 with no one aware of her poisoning activities. After her death 17 January 1651, Gironima Spana took over her business. She developed it into a considerable enterprise, with several poison saleswomen active in the business in the 1650s.
Gironima Spana was an astrologer of note in Rome, where she was engaged to predict the future and find missing objects by clients in the Roman aristocracy. It is noted that she behaved and dressed in a manner which made her acceptable in the salons of the aristocracy, and it is mentioned how her rich client sent for her in their carriages and that she often travalled around Rome in carriages borrowed from her aristocratic friends.
Prosecution
The poison business was exposed to the Papal authorities with the arrest of one of Spana's poison sellers, Giovanna De Grandis, who was arrested in flagrante 31 January 1659 and imprisoned at the Tor di Nona, where she named Gironima Spana during the interrogations.
On 2 February, Gironima Spana was arrested and taken to the Papal prison of Tor di Nona, where she was interrogated by the lieuntenant governor Stefano Bracchi.
Gironima Spana was described as intelligent, self assured and confident. She denied all accusations and stood by her denial for months, despite repeated interrogations and confrontations with her former associates and clients. She was willing to answers questions and talked a lot, but only provided harmless information, such as long, detailed answers of acquaintances, their family history and residence, but never anything which could be seen as incriminating. She was described as much more resiliant then her fellow prisoners; in contrast to them, she did not even talk about her guilt in her confession to a priest. Her lack of confession was a problem since law did not permit execution without it. She did not confess until 20 June. She finally signed a long statement of guilt. In regard to the poison, she stated: "I've given this liquid to more people than I’ve got hairs on my head".
The investigation, the Spana Prosecution, continued for several months until March 1660, involving about forty people accused of having sold or used the poison, with Gironima Spana and four of her female business associates, Giovanna De Grandis, Maria Spinola, Graziosa Farina and Laura Crispoldi, executed at the Campo de' Fiori in Rome on 5 July 1659.
Legacy
Gironima Spana and the Spana Prosecution became the subject of sensationalist myths, and she has been confused with her stepmother Giulia Tofana.

The Spana Prosecution was a major criminal case which took place in Rome in the Papal States between January 1659 and March 1660.
The Papal authorities under the leadership of lieutenant governor Stefano Bracchi investigated a case involving a criminal net of poisoners, mainly women, for selling the famous poison Aqua Tofana to clients who wished to commit murder, in particular women who wished to become widows. The process involved over forty people, including professional poisoners and clients, some of them members of the aristocracy, and resulted in punishment ranging from exile and lifetime house arrest to the execution of five main figures, among them the central figure Gironima Spana.
Background
In 1624, a woman by the name Giulia Mangiardi (1581-1651) arrived to Rome from Palermo in Sicily. Her proper name was Giulia Mangiardi, but she has traditionally become known in history under the invented name "Giulia Tofana", because she was the inventor of the poison Aqua Tofana, which she sold commercially in Palermo. Traditionally, she is said to have named the poison her alleged mother Thofania d'Adamo, but there is nothing to indicate that d'Adamo was the mother of Giulia Mangiardi, though she may have been her disciple.
Since her second husband Ranchetti Cesare (1564-1654) wasted the family money, she started to manufacture and sell the poison in Rome to support the family. Historians point to her dying in her sleep in 1651 with no one aware of her poisoning activities.
Her business was taken over by stepdaughter from her first marriage with Niccolo Spano Lorestino, Gironima Spana, who was established as an astrologer, but had been initiated by her stepmother in how to manufacture and sell the poison. Gironima Spana appear to have expanded the business inherited from her stepmother.
She manufactured the poison and sold it personally, but she also employed women associates to sell the poison for her: in at least some cases, these associates were former clients. Normally her associates only sold the poison, but in some cases, notably in the case of Giovanna De Grandis, she also taught them to manufacture it. Since the apothecaries did not sell arsenic to women, Spana and Giovanna De Grandis employed the service of the male priest Padre Don Girolamo as a go-between. The poison was mainly sold to women clients, often women in unhappy marriages, with the intent to murder their husbands. Gironima Spana, in her career as an astrologer, had access to wealthy clients among the Roman aristocracy. It appears that the business was successful enough to expand outside of the then city borders of Rome, as the Spana organization employed at least one seller, Maddalena Ciampella, in Palestrina.
Investigation
On 31 January 1659, the poison dealer Giovanna De Grandis was arrested in flagrante in Rome, charged with trafficking a lethal poison and imprisoned at the Tor di Nona for questioning. The investigation was handled by the Papal authorities under the leadership of lieutenant governor Stefano Bracchi. The investigation was to result in the major Spana Prosecution, which was to last until March 1660.
Giovanna de Grandis confessed her guilt on 1 February. After her confession she started to name names of her business associates and clients. Her testimony was essential to the development of the Spana Prosecution. She pointed out Gironima Spana herself, who was arrested on 2 February, followed by a number of arrests and interrogations of accused poison dealers and clients. Between 10–11 February, Elena Gabrielli Cassana, Angela Armellina, Elena Ferri and Teresa Verzellina were all arrested. Gironima Spana herself resisted the interrogation for months until she finally made her confession.
The arrested people were imprisoned in the Papal prison of Tor di Nona for questioning. Torture was sometimes used during the interrogations, but only in individual cases and not routinely. When used, it was normally in the form of the strappado. The prisoners were also confronted with each other. Each person was interrogated to make their own confession and name accomplices and clients. With this method, the investigation grew in number. Eventually, over 40 people were involved in the investigation.
Some of the clients named for having bought and used poison were not arrested. Many of them, particularly those belonging to the upper classes, were left out of the formal investigation in consideration of their social status. In the case when they were interrogated, the interrogation did not take place at the Tor di Nona but in their private residence after they had been granted Papal immunity in exchange for a confession, which ensured that they would be given no formal sentence. One such incident was the case of the noblewoman Anna Maria Conti, who was interrogated in her own home; she confessed herself guilty after having been granted Papal immunity, and was thus not punished.
The Papal authorities viewed the women who manufactured and sold poison as more guilty than the women who bought and actually used the lethal poison. In the end, only seven women were executed. On 5 July 1659, the central figure Gironima Spana and her five associates Giovanna De Grandis, Maria Spinola, Graziosa Farina and Laura Crispoldi were all executed by hanging on Campo de' Fiori. These executions were followed by the hanging of Cecili Verzellina 6 March 1660; on the same day, Teresa Verzellina, Benedetta Merlini and Cecilia Gentili were flogged through the streets and banished. Many others were sentenced to house arrest or banishment, while a large part of those accused had been given Papal immunity in exchange for their confession.
The Spana Prosecution ended with the find of a bottle with a liquid in the garden of Spana on 17 March 1660. The liquid was given to a dog at Tor di Nona, who died in 22 March. With this, the investigation was finnally closed. The Pope gave the order that the documents regarding the trial should be sealed at the Castel Sant'Angelo, since he wished to avoid spreading knowledge about the poison and the bad example of the women. The archives were not discovered again until the 1880s in the Archivo di Stato.
Aftermath
The Spana Prosecution was a major scandal which became infamous already when it occurred. Francesco Sforza Pallavicino used the Spara Prosecution in the 1660s as his paradigm for "pontifical commitment to law and order", and the case was often commented by Italian jurists during the 18th-century.
During the 17th-and 18th-centuries the trial was often the subject of crime chronicles and described in various sensationalist literature, becoming heavily influenced by myths and legends with time. A typical early description was: "Account of the most Grievous Crime of Making the Poisonous Beverage Acquetta or Acqua Toffanica, Concocted and Put to Use in Rome by Gironima Spara and Four Other Companions, all Widows, who Poisoned their Husbands and Many Other Men, and Were All Hanged".
Popular myth described an organization of female serial killers who murdered hundreds of husbands until they were caught in a trap by a Papal governor. The name of Gironima Spana was spelled in various different ways. Gironima Spana has been confused with her stepmother Giulia Mangiardi, who has been popularly referred to by the name Giulia Tofana because she invented the poison Aqua Tofana. Giulia Mangiardi has been claimed to be the daughter of the poisoner Tofania d'Adamo (executed in 1633), and sometimes claimed to be one of those executed in 1659, despite in fact having been dead for eight years by then.
The poison Aqua Tofana and consequently its inventor "Giulia Tofana" (Giulia Mangiardi) and the Spana Prosecution became famous and heavily mythologized during the 19th-century, and many incorrect statements about the subject became repeated as facts long into the 20th-century.

Richard Heyrick (1600 – 1667) was a Church of England clergyman and divine who served as warden of Manchester Collegiate Church.
Life
Richard Heyrick, born in London on 9 September 1600, was cousin to Robert Herrick the poet, and son of Sir William Hericke, alderman and goldsmith of London, who purchased Beaumanor, Leicestershire. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, London, and at St. John's College, Oxford, where he entered as a commoner in 1617. He graduated BA on 19 October 1619, and MA on 26 June 1622. He is also styled BD. By special recommendation of the King he was elected fellow of All Souls College on 14 January 1624–5. About that time he took orders, and was instituted on 9 June 1626 to the rectory of North Repps, Norfolk. There had been many money transactions between James I and Heyrick's father, and by way of settlement of a loan Sir William received for his son the reversion of the wardenship of Manchester Collegiate Church, which was granted by Charles I by letters patent of 14 November 1626. Heyrick succeeded to the wardenship in 1635, but not without some preliminary difficulty, which Archbishop Laud claimed the credit of overcoming.
In 1641 he published Three Sermons preached at the Collegiate Church in Manchester, 8vo, in which he denounced with bitter prejudice and vindictive sarcasm Romanists and High Episcopalians. He identified himself with the Presbyterians, and eventually became the chief pillar of that party in Lancashire. In 1642 he drew up an address from the county of Lancaster to Charles I, containing what was in effect an offer to mediate between the King and Parliament for peace and reconciliation. On 23 April of the same year Heyrick, who had about that time taken the Covenant, was appointed by Parliament one of the divines for Lancashire to be consulted about Church government, the other being Charles Herle, rector of Winwick; and on 9 October 1643 he was one of the ministers appointed by the House of Commons to decide upon the orthodoxy and maintenance of Lancashire ministers. He was the main instrument in establishing throughout Lancashire the Presbyterian system in 1646, and wrote the Harmonious Consent of the Ministers within the County Palatine of Lancaster with their Reverend Brethren the Ministers of the Province of London, &c., 1648, 4to. Along with Richard Hollinworth, he acted as moderator of the Lancashire synod, and in the affairs of the Manchester classis his influence was predominant, and his care in all matters, especially in providing useful and pious ministers, was conspicuous. As a member of the assembly of divines he preached before the House of Commons on 27 May 1646. In this sermon, afterwards printed with the title of Queen Esther's Resolves; or a Princely Pattern of Heaven-born Resolution, he makes pathetic mention of the services of Manchester in the cause of God and the Kingdom, and of the impoverished condition of the Church's ministers in that town. He was a zealous co-operator in the work of the collegiate chapter, and a sturdy defender of its rights whenever assailed. By his remonstrance he procured the restoration of the Church revenues which had been taken away by Parliament in 1645. On the dissolution of the collegiate body in 1650, he was allowed to retain his position as one of the town's ministers, at a salary of 100l. In 1657–8 he took an active part in the proceedings described in a volume entitled The Censures of the Church Revived, 4to, 1659, occasioned by the Rev. Isaac Allen, rector of Prestwich, with others, disputing the authority of the Manchester classis in matters of Church discipline.
He was consistent in his loyalty to the King, strongly protesting on several occasions against the growing power and republican principles of the Independents. In 1651 he was arrested for being implicated in Love's plot for the restoration of Charles II. He was imprisoned in London, but through the influence, it is supposed, of George Booth, 1st Lord Delamere, was pardoned and released. When Booth rose in Cheshire in 1659 Heyrick, although sympathetic, was irresolute in action, like many other ministers. He hailed the Restoration with enthusiasm in a sermon preached on 23 April 1661, and afterwards published without his authority. He complied with the Act of Uniformity by "reading the service book" on 14 September 1662, and maintained his position of warden until his death, having no doubt moderated his religious tenets. Before 1662 he had held, along with the Manchester wardenship, the rectory of Thornton-in-the-Moors, near Chester. He also held the rectory of Ashton-upon-Mersey, Cheshire, from 14 July 1640 to 1642.
He was twice married: first, when he was at North Repps, to Helen, daughter of Thomas Corbet of Sprowston, Norfolk, by whom he had seven children; and secondly, in 1642, to Anna Maria Hall, a widow, daughter of Erasmus Breton of Hamburg. By his second wife he had six children.
He died on 6 August 1667, aged 67, and was buried in the choir of the Manchester Collegiate Church, a long Latin epitaph, written by his old friend Thomas Case, being inscribed on his monument. The eulogy is extravagant; but Heyrick was a fair scholar, an eloquent preacher, and a conscientious man, if somewhat impetuous in temper. Henry Newcome, in dedicating his book, the Sinner's Hope, 1660, to Heyrick, speaks in high laudation of "his much honoured brother and faithful fellow-labourer in the congregation" at Manchester.

George Anderson 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 Peanut Shop of Savannah and Spanky's. The current building was constructed in 1835, but George W. Anderson, a cotton merchant, banker and planter, had a store in the previous incarnation, known as Richard Wayne's Wharf, too. The Andersons were one of Savannah's most prominent families, notably in the Civil War years.
In October 1817, leading cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe's first shipment to Savannah was recorded. He shipped six boxes to George Anderson and Son, who were active from 1817 to 1839.
In April 1837, merchants Clark and Pelott were advertising from "Anderson's new Stores".
The building stands adjacent to the Scott and Balfour Stores at 302–316 East Bay Street.

Ngāwini Yates (1852–1853 – 19 July 1910) was a part-Māori New Zealander, who was a storekeeper, farmer and businesswoman in the far north of New Zealand in the later part of the 19th century.
Early life
Ngāwini Yates, also known as Annie, was born Ngāwini Murray around 1852 or 1853 at Pukepoto, near Kaitaia, in the far north of New Zealand. She was the oldest of 15 children born to John Murray, a shipwright who had settled at Pukepoto having immigrated from Europe. Her mother, Kateraina Te Kone, was a Māori of the Te Rarawa iwi (tribe) who also had connections to the Te Aupōuri iwi.
Commercial activity
In December 1880, at Mangonui, she married Samuel Yates, a storekeeper who had a store in the town and at Pārengarenga Harbour, close to North Cape. The couple purchased or leased a significant amount of land across the northern part of the Aupouri Peninsula, a total of about 150,000 acres. It is possible that this was achieved on the back of Ngāwini Yates' relationships with her iwi. On this land, much of which the couple converted to pasture, livestock, in the form of cattle, sheep and horses, was stocked. Cottages for their farmer workers were erected, along with other sheds and structures. A jetty was built to allow goods and livestock to be loaded onto ships for transportation south to Auckland.
A trading store and homestead was built at Pāua, on the southern coastline of the Pārengarenga Harbour. Here the couple had eight children, which she primarily raised and educated. The Yates also played a role in the Kauri gum industry; at its peak, over 300 gum diggers were working on the property extracted from their land and traded in their store.
Ngāwini Yates was heavily involved in the running of the vast Yates property, which employed local Māori as shearers and musterers, and her influence increased as her husband, over 20 years her senior, aged. A skilled horse rider, she often helped in the mustering of livestock. She even developed a distinct breed of cattle. Samuel Yates, his health in decline, died on 14 September 1900, at the start of a journey by ship to Auckland. She oversaw his interment in the Jewish section of the Symonds Street Cemetery in Auckland.
Later life
Despite the death of her husband, Yates stayed on at their house in Pāua and continued to successfully run the property as well as the store. Under her charge, the size of the Yates sheep herd was increased until it exceeded 5,000 head. She died there on 29 July 1910 and was buried at Pārengarenga. The portion of the property that was leased was restored to its Te Aupōuri owners while the remainder, about 68,000 acres, was sold.

Friedrich Kurschat (; 1806–1884) was a Prussian Lithuanian linguist and professor at the University of Königsberg. He studied the Lithuanian language and published its grammar in 1876 in which he was the first to describe Lithuanian accentuation in detail.
Kurschat was born into a family of a poor school teacher and received no formal education until age 28. In 1836, he enrolled into the University of Königsberg where he became an assistant to linguist Ludwig Rhesa. After Rhesa's death in 1840, Kurschat became the leader of the Lithuanian language seminar at the university and held that position for more than forty years. He graduated in 1844 and was ordained as a Lutheran priest.
Kurschat published several linguistic studies of the Lithuanian language. His most important work was the grammar of the Lithuanian language published in 1876. He also published two-volume German–Lithuanian dictionary and one-volume Lithuanian–German dictionary. Kurschat was an active translator and editor of various religious texts, including the official edition of hymnal, Lithuanian translation of the Bible, and Luther's Small Catechism. In total, he published about 30 Lithuanian books. During the German revolutions of 1848–1849, Kurschat established a conservative Lithuanian weekly Keleivis (Traveler) and edited it until February 1880. It was one of the very first Lithuanian periodicals.
Biography
Friedrich Kurschat was born on 24 April 1806 into a family of a school teacher. He was the eldest of eight children and received his first education at his father's school. In 1822, priest Meyer from Neukirch (now ) hired Kurschat as an assistant and a tutor for his children. With Meyer's help, in 1824, Kurschat became a second teacher at the primary school in Neukirch even though he had no formal education. He later moved to teach in Heinrichswalde (now Slavsk) where he earned just 70 Prussian thalers a year and to Kalthof (now Rizhskoye). At age 28, having saved a hundred thalers, Kurschat enrolled into a gymnasium in Elbląg.
After the graduation in 1836, he enrolled into the University of Königsberg to study theology. Since 1718, students who were to become pastors in parishes inhabited by Prussian Lithuanians had to take a seminar on the Lithuanian language. At the time, the seminar was taught by Ludwig Rhesa. As Kurschat was fluent in Lithuanian and a diligent student, he became assistant to Rhesa who was elderly and of increasingly poor health. When Russian philologist arrived to Königsberg to learn Lithuanian, Rhesa recommended Kurschat as his teacher. Kurschat's studies were interrupted by an illness and he worked for a year as a teacher in Tragheim. Kurschat graduated from the university and was ordained as a priest in 1844. He was assigned as a chaplain of Lithuanian-speaking soldiers.
After Rhesa's death in 1840, Kurschat, while still a student, became the leader of the Lithuanian language seminar and held that position for more than forty years. Only old age forced him to retire in 1883. He substantially improved the quality of the seminar and published two booklets for its attendees in 1843 and 1849. He also offered the seminar to all students of the university, not just those studying theology. The seminar was an elective that lasted three years. Kurschat increased the number of weekly hours by adding a course on Lithuanian grammar and a reading of The Seasons by Kristijonas Donelaitis. To further study the Lithuanian language, he visited Lithuania (then part of the Russian Empire) in 1872, 1874 and 1875. He visited several Lithuanian activists, including Motiejus Valančius and Antanas Baranauskas. Kurschat was recognized as a professor in 1865 and as honorary PhD in 1875. In 1882, he was selected as an honorary member of the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences.
Kurschat ran in the 1874 elections to the German Reichstag as a candidate of the but received only 147 votes out of 5,748. He was similarly unsuccessful in the 1879 elections to the Landtag of Prussia. Politically, Kurschat was very conservative. He promoted Lutheran religious ideals and supported the German Empire and the Kings of Prussia while criticizing "democratic vomit" directed at them. He did not believe in the future of Prussian Lithuanians and did not campaign against Germanization. He believed that the Lithuanian language was destined for extinction and hurried to record it for future studies.
Kurschat married in 1848, but had no children. He used spent his summers in Cranz (present-day Zelenogradsk) where he died on 23 August 1884. He was buried four days later in Königsberg, but his grave has not survived.
Works
Language studies
Kurschat published his studies of the Lithuanian language in German.
Already in 1843, Kurschat published a booklet (Beiträge zur Kunde der littauischen Sprache) for the attendees of the Lithuanian language seminar. It contained an alphabetical list of most common German prepositional phrases and their Lithuanian equivalents. It was followed by a second booklet in 1849 which discussed Lithuanian accentuation. It was a much more substantial study peer reviewed by August Friedrich Pott and praised by Holger Pedersen.
In 1876, Kurschat published his most important work – 476-page grammar of the Lithuanian language. It substantially improved the earlier grammar by August Schleicher published in 1856 and remained as the most complete and authoritative grammar until Jonas Jablonskis published his grammar in 1901. Kurschat did not have a strong linguistic education (he studied theology at the university) and therefore was not as technically strong as Schleicher. However, as a native speaker, Kurschat had much better command and understanding of Lithuanian and could provide much more detail than Schleicher. Kurschat's grammar discussed the relationship between Lithuanian and other Indo-European languages, included a map where Lithuanian was spoken, characterized Lithuanian dialects, described Lithuanian phonetics, word formation, and syntax, provided ample new examples (mostly from his native dialect), and for the first time discussed accentology in great detail. Stress marks introduced in this grammar are still used in modern texts on Lithuanian accentuation. Kurschat was not familiar with Universitas lingvarum Litvaniae, which was published in 1737 and briefly discussed Lithuanian accentuation, and came to his conclusions independently. The work also included a chapter on Lithuanian folk songs with sample lyrics of 25 songs. The grammar was influential and was used by many activists of the Lithuanian National Revival.
Regarding the history of sciences, it is particularly important that Kurschat accompanied the Swiss linguist (and later founder of semiotics) Ferdinand de Saussure on his two-week trip to Lithuania (especially to Klaipėda) in August 1880. Saussure, who had studied some basic grammar of Lithuanian in Leipzig for one semester but was unable to speak the language, was thus dependent on Kurschat. In particular, Saussure's publication on Lithuanian phonetics was dependent by Kurschat and his studies on Lithuanian accentuation. Also, Kurschat's grammar was the main source of information on Lithuanian for Saussure when he formulated the Fortunatov–de Saussure law.
In 1846, a group of linguists decided to publish a Lithuanian dictionary. For the task they selected not a new graduate Kurschat but professor Georg Heinrich Ferdinand Nesselmann. The dictionary was published in 1851 and at the time it was the most extensive dictionary of Lithuanian. Undeterred, Kurschat collected lexicographical data for about three decades and prepared two-volume German–Lithuanian dictionary. Printing of the dictionary started in 1866, but Kurschat did not have sufficient funds. He was able to get some government assistance from Prussia and from Austria-Hungary (which purchased 50 copies of the dictionary for its libraries). After additional delays due to the Franco-Prussian War, the first volume was published in 1870 and the second in 1874. Event though the dictionary was expensive (unbound copy sold for 27 German marks), Kurschat did not earn any money from the publication. Kurschat then published one-volume Lithuanian–German dictionary with about 20,000 headwords in 1883. Due to increasingly poor health, the last dictionary was not as extensive as first envisioned. Kurschat's nephew, linguist , helped edit and publish the last volume. All words in the dictionary have stress marks. It limited itself to words collected from Prussian Lithuanians and from published Lithuanian works. In collecting the data, Kurschat was assisted by other priests and Lithuanian activists. Words that Kurschat could not attest from personal experience were written in square brackets, a unique feature highly valued by modern researchers. The dictionaries are the most important and extensive source on the language of Prussian Lithuanians and most of their data was incorporated into the 20-volume Academic Dictionary of Lithuanian.
Both the grammar and the dictionaries were published by the printing press of the Francke Foundations.
Religious texts
Kurschat edited and published numerous religious texts in Lithuanian. These texts were not original texts by Kurschat, but new translations, corrections, and edits of various other texts. In total, Kurschat published about 30 Lithuanian books.
In 1841, he edited the official 790-page hymnal which also included edited hymns first published by Daniel Klein in 1666. This hymnal saw its 38th edition in 1917. He later published smaller hymnals: 64 hymns with 16 sheet music in 1853, a prayer book with 150 hymns in 1854, and 98 hymns for soldiers and students in 1857 (it was republished 25 times). In 1841, he also published a new translation of the Luther's Small Catechism written by D. Weiss (it was republished in 1845 and 1865). In 1852, he published a new translation of The Holy War by John Bunyan.
In 1858, Kurschat prepared a new edition of the Bible translation into Lithuanian. This Bible was first translated and published in 1735 and Kurschat edited and corrected it based on German and Greek translations.
Other publications
In 1843, while still a university student, Kurschat published a new edition of a collection of Lithuanian folk songs (Dainos oder Litthauische Volkslieder) collected and first published by Ludwig Rhesa in 1825. In 1844, he translated and published a booklet about the harms of alcohol and promoting the temperance movement by the German pastor .
During the German revolutions of 1848–1849, Kurschat was approached by a German general to start a conservative Lithuanian periodical. Receiving funds from the Prussian government, Kurschat established weekly Keleivis (Traveler) in July 1849 and edited it until February 1880. Most of the content was written by Kurschat. It was one of the very first Lithuanian periodicals. Keleivis was discontinued in 1880 but quickly revived as Naujasis keleivis and then as Tilžės keleivis which continued to be published until 1924.
For some time, Kurschat corrected language of Nusidavimai apie evangelijos prasiplatinimą tarp žydų ir pagonių, a monthly Lithuanian periodical reporting mainly on Evangelical missions in Asia, Africa, and South America.

Merrill v. Milligan (Docket 21–1086) is a pending United States Supreme Court case related to redistricting under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Background
Alabama's congressional districts have had roughly the same configuration since 1993, with one majority-minority district out of its seven total districts. Data from the 2020 United States Census showed that while the state did not gain or lose any representation at the federal level, the racial diversity in the state had increased, with the portion of white residents having fallen from 68% to 64% over the prior ten years, while around a quarter of the state was African-American. In November 2021, the Alabama Legislature modified the existing districts to account for shifts in population. Soon after, multiple groups of plaintiffs sued, asserting the districts violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The plaintiffs sought the creation of an additional majority-minority district. Two suits (Singleton and Milligan) were assigned to a three-judge district court consisting of Judges Stanley Marcus, Terry F. Moorer, and Anna M. Manasco, and the third suit (Caster) was assigned to just Manasco. On January 24, 2022, the district courts in each of the cases enjoined the districts, holding they violated the VRA. The courts did not decide the constitutional issue, applying the doctrine of constitutional avoidance. Alabama appealed the following day to the Supreme Court in Milligan and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Caster.
Supreme Court
The Supreme Court stayed the district court's injunctions in an order issued on February 7, 2022. The order stated that there was probable jurisdiction from the district court's order in Milligan, and granted certiorari before judgment in Caster. Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, stating "Today’s decision is one more in a disconcertingly long line of cases in which this Court uses its shadow docket to signal or make changes in the law, without anything approaching full briefing and argument." Chief Justice John Roberts also wrote a dissent to the order to grant a stay, but agreed the Court should review the case.
In response to Kagan's dissent, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, stating that under Purcell v. Gonzalez, courts should not enjoin enforcement of election-related laws or regulations so close to the election. Again in response, Kagan noted that Alabama "enacted the current map in less than a week and can move quickly again if it wants to", and that their "primary is still four months away, while the general election is nearly nine months away." By contrast, Purcell was decided only 15 days before the 2006 election.

Copper Mountain is a 5,425-foot-elevation (1,654 meter) mountain summit located in the southeast portion of the Olympic Mountains, in Mason County of Washington state. It is situated on the boundary shared by Daniel J. Evans Wilderness and Mount Skokomish Wilderness, as well as the shared common border of Olympic National Park with Olympic National Forest. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Ellinor, to the east. Wagonwheel Lake lies immediately north of the peak. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 4,700 feet (1,430 m) above the Staircase Ranger Station at Lake Cushman in approximately 1.5 mile. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains north into the Hamma Hamma River, and south into the North Fork Skokomish River, thence Lake Cushman.
Climate
Copper Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in avalanche danger. The months April through October offer the most favorable weather for climbing or viewing.
Etymology
The mountain was named on July 7, 1890, by Lieutenant Joseph P. O'Neil (1863–1938), United States Army officer who led the 1885 and 1890 O'Neil Expeditions to explore the interior of the Olympic Mountains. Earlier that same year, prospectors had discovered copper ore on the mountain.
Geology
The Olympic Mountains are composed of obducted clastic wedge material and oceanic crust, primarily Eocene sandstone, turbidite, and basaltic oceanic crust. The mountains were sculpted during the Pleistocene era by erosion and glaciers advancing and retreating multiple times.

Hyatt Regency Savannah is a high-rise hotel in Savannah, Georgia. Built in 1980, it stands adjacent to Savannah City Hall at Bay Street's downtown midsection.
Originally envisioned as a 14-story structure in Savannah's Historic District, a long battle with the Historic Savannah Foundation concluded with a compromise being reached of its being limited to six storeys. Another source of controversy is that it bridged River Street, physically dividing the waterfront in two, although the air rights were actually a remnant of the preceding structure, the Wilcox and Gibbs Guano Company. A tunnel allows pedestrian and vehicle access along the street.
Facilities
The hotel has a swimming pool, a fitness center and a lounge.
Waterfront location
Previous structures
Long before the site became occupied by the hotel, two ranges of buildings — Bolton Range and Habersham & Harris Range — stood on the lot, part of Commerce Row. These buildings were replaced by the Neal Blun Building, which stood between 1889 and 1969, and (to the west) the M. Ferst and Company grocery store. The Ferst building was completed in September 1888, but Moses Ferst, a native of Bavaria, died eleven months later, aged 60.

Biography
Gwinko was one of the first batch of students from the Okinawa Actors School. In 1986, she passed an audition hosted by CBS Sony and moved to Tokyo, becoming Okinawa Actors School's first graduate. Gwinko released her debut album Yesterday Today Forever and single "Star Ship (I'm Going High)" in 1987. She became known for her style of singing R&B with digital sound in the foreground with slightly husky and relaxed vocals, as well as her dance choreography reminiscent of that of Janet Jackson.
In 1988, Gwinko participated at CBS Sony's 20th anniversary event "New Blood 88–89". Later that year, she performed at Epic/Sony's 10th anniversary concert "Dance to Christmas". In the summer of 1989, Gwinko participated in the live tour "New Bloods Presents Funk a Hips Live Show" as a member of New Bloods. In October of that year, she became the co-host of the music program Hit Studio R&N alongside Ichiro Furutachi. On the October 13 episode, Gwinko and Furutachi were witnesses to an incident when rock band The Timers played an unscheduled performance of a song protesting FM Tokyo censorship policies.
In 1991, Gwinko released the single "Downtown Game", which was used as the opening theme of the anime series City Hunter '91. Shortly after the release of her album Tokyo Ukiuki Girl, she moved back to Okinawa. In 1994, Gwinko signed with Media Remoras and released her sixth album Princess Moon.
In 2020, Gwinko re-emerged from retirement and joined Shoukichi Kina to form Kina & Gwinko Worldchamploo.

Go Back Modi (or #GoBackModi) is a hashtag and movement that protests and voices opposition against the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's visits to various places, primarily throughout India, and sporadically throughout the world. The hashtag first gained popularity on 12 April 2018, when Modi visited Chennai, Tamil Nadu to inaugurate a defence exhibition, and has been especially popular in the state ever since. However, the movement's first instance was a Malayalam language variation of the hashtag named #PoMoneModi, and has been adopted since May 2016, when Modi was campaigning for elections in Kerala.
The hashtag has been prominently used by the DMK, the current ruling party in the state of Tamil Nadu, and also by notable people like Meena Kandasamy, Oviya to express dissent against Modi's visits. The movement has also had on the ground protests, in places surrounding the areas that Modi visits.
Background
Narendra Modi was elected as the Prime Minister of India in the 2014 Indian general election. Along the span of his tenure, Modi and his party, the BJP's statements and decisions were increasingly being seen as opposing and neutralizing all dissent towards the party and its conservative ideologies. The party's ideology has been popularly summarized as the tagline "Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan", meaning the nationalist vision to homogenize India into a nation that speaks only the Hindi language, and practices only the Hindu religion. This idea witnesses opposition by parties and states ideologically rooted in the diverse and federal nature of the existing Indian Union.
Movements
Two years after being elected as the prime minister, Modi visited the state of Kerala in May 2016, to campaign for the BJP in the 2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election. During a campaign rally, Modi gave a speech in which he compared the infant mortality rate of Kerala to that of Somalia. Kerala is one of the most religiously heterogeneous states in India, and the Kerala model has consistently been praised as one of the most socially developed states. Consequently, Modi's statement criticising Kerala's social indicators immediately drew strong reactions from major political figures, including the Kerala chief minister at the time, Oommen Chandy, who demanded that Modi withdraw his remarks. The BJP won one seat that election. As another consequence of Modi's remark, a social media campaign took off, making use of the hashtag #PoMoneModi, loosely translating to "Go Back Modi". The hashtag is also a reference to the popular punchline "Nee Po Mone Dinesha" from the film Narasimham.
On 12 April 2018, Modi visited Chennai to inaugurate a defence expo organised by the Defence Exhibition Organisation. The day Modi arrived in Chennai, mass protests erupted, some of which were spearheaded by the DMK president and current Tamil Nadu chief minister, M. K. Stalin. The protests were characterized by black insignia, a colour associated with the Dravidian ideology in the state. Simultaneously, social media campaigns erupted making use of the hashtag #GoBackModi for the first time. The hashtag became the top worldwide trend on Twitter that day, and has been embraced to demonstrate protests every time Modi visits Tamil Nadu, ever since.
Apart from being repeatedly embraced by the South Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the movement has also seen support in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, West Bengal, and also the Northeastern states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Tripura among others. Internationally, Modi witnessed protests and opposition from Bangladesh citizens when he visited the country in 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its independence from Pakistan.
Reactions
The primary target of the movement, the BJP, has claimed that the hashtag is inorganic and has been propagated by users from Pakistan in the past. A BJP member also filed a case on Tamil actor Oviya for using the hashtag.

Stanislavsky Vladimirovich Drobyshevsky (born 2 July 1978, Chita) is a Russian anthropologist and science popularizer. He is a Candidate of Sciences and works at the Anthropology department of the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University. He is a scientific editor of popular science portal Antropogenez.ru. He wrote of scientific monographs, university textbooks, and popular science books. He is a vlogger and has his personal YouTube channel, in addition to frequently appearing in other Russian popular science channels.
Education
He studied at the MSU Faculty of Biology as a student in 1995-2000, and as an aspirant in 2000-2004. After getting if candidate degree in 2004, he has been working at the Anthropology department of that faculty.
He created university courses in anthropology, archeology, and human evolution.
Science
In his monograph The Evolution of Hominid Craniometric Characteristics (Canonical Analysis), he demonstrated the unevenness of evolution of different parts of the skull, determined by the pace and direction of evolutionary changes.
One of his main ideas is that human races should be treated as extremely close biological categories, the differences between which reflect only local adaptations or are the result of random genetic processes, while small local races are much more specialized and have moved further away from ancestral condition than major races. In his monograph Evolution of the human brain, he developed a theory about the acceleration of the evolution of the brain of human ancestors due to the transition to meat eating.
In his articles and interviews Drobyshevsky often criticizes the negative impact of scientific myths and pseudoscientific theories of the human origin and evolution on mass consciousness.
Drobyshevsky's articles on anthropogenesis are published in popular science periodicals like Vokrug sveta, Tekhnika Molodezhi, Nauka i Zhizn.
Science communication
Antropogenez.ru
In 2011, together with science journalist Alexander Sokolov, he created a popular science portal Antropogenez.ru, dedicated to popularizing scientific knowledge about the origin and history of the human species and refuting topics such as racism and creationism. The portal is intended to unite the efforts of scientists from various fields: anthropology, genetics, archeology, paleontology, linguistics, etc.
Drobyshevsky has been the permanent scientific editor of the portal since its inception. Drobyshevsky and other contributors of Antropogenez.ru frequently draw attention to misinterpretation of science and blatant pseudoscience in Russian media.
Non-missing link
In addition to his editorial activities, Drobyshevsky is actively working on his own project Non-missing Link. It is a series of articles where he explains the problems and methods of anthropology. The articles are illustrated by a series of short videos in which Drobyshevsky explains the scientific method of studying human nature. For example, using copies of fossil skulls and skeletons, he explains what specific parts of the skeleton are called, what are the limits of their variability within a species, which pathologies they can have, what functions they perform, which regions of the brain are responsible for them, how they are different or similar in humans and apes, and how they evolved.
In 2017, the series of articles was published as a two-volume book Non-missing link.
In media
Drobyshevsky frequently appears on radio and television. Since March 15, 2021, he has been hosting Homo Sapiens program on RTVI.
Awards
Drobyshevsky was awarded a prize For loyalty to science by Russian Ministry of Education and Science as Popularizer of the year 2017.

Too Like the Lightning is the first novel in Terra Ignota, a quartet of science fiction novels by the American author Ada Palmer. It was published on January 24, 2017. Its sequels are Seven Surrenders (2017), The Will to Battle (2017), and Perhaps the Stars (2021). The novel won the 2017 Compton Crook Award. It was a finalist for the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel and the James Tiptree Jr Memorial Award.
Set in the year 2454, the Earth of the Terra Ignota quartet has seen several centuries of near-total peace and prosperity. Too Like the Lightning is a fictional memoir written by self-confessed unreliable narrator Mycroft Canner, a brilliant, infamous, and paroled criminal who often serves the world's most powerful leaders. He has been commissioned by several other characters to write the "history" that the series is presented as. Mycroft frequents the Saneer-Weeksbooth home, in which an important stolen document has been planted. The mystery of why and by whom serves as a focal point which draws many different characters, vying for global power and peace, into involvement with the family. Meanwhile, Mycroft tries to protect and conceal a child named Bridger, who has the power to make the unreal real.
Setting
Advanced technology has led to the advent of a near-utopian golden age. However, there are still tensions among political groups, such as distribution of land, citizens, and income. Rather than geographic nations, people can voluntarily join Hives based on values or remain Hiveless, choosing only a minimum set of laws to adhere to. There are seven Hives: the Humanists who value achievement; Cousins, philanthropy; Masons, logic; Gordians, intelligence; Europe, national identity; Mitsubishi, land and business; and Utopians, the future. There are three groups of Hiveless who each adhere to the White, Gray, and Black laws. Each Hive has its own capitol, form of government, and favored language. All are allotted representatives in the Universal Free Alliance Senate.
Gendered language
By default, almost all characters use gender-neutral language, with "they/them" the predominant pronoun used. Mycroft, the primary narrator, finds his world's obsession with gender-neutrality oppressive, so often uses gendered pronouns to refer to other characters, assigning genders based on the characters' personalities and roles, as they relate to traditional Western gender roles. For instance, Chagatai is referred to using "she/her" pronouns because of their fierce, lioness-like strength when protecting their nephew from attack. The author has explained that Mycroft frequently "misuses" gendered pronouns, just as people in real life often make mistakes when using gender-neutral pronouns. Also, in its chapter at the start of Seven Surrenders, Sniper advises the reader to not "trust the gendered pronouns Mycroft gives people, they all come from Madame". Mycroft sometimes varies the gendered pronouns he gives characters. For instance, Carlyle is mostly referred to using she/her pronouns starting with Seven Surrenders, whereas in the first book Carlyle is referred to with he/him pronouns.

Meanwhile, Mycroft tries to protect and conceal a child named Bridger, who has the power to make the unreal real.
March the twenty-third, 2454
Carlyle Foster has been assigned as the new sensayer (professional spiritual guide) of the Saneer-Weeksbooth bash'. He enters their home suddenly and witnesses the death of a living toy soldier, brought to life by Bridger's miracle. Martin Guildbreaker has also arrived at the bash' to investigate a crime: an unpublished newspaper article was stolen and planted in the bash'house as though to frame them for grand theft. Martin meets and interrogates Ockham Saneer, head of the bash'.
Mycroft is summoned to Tōgenkyō by Chief Director Hotaka Andō Mitsubishi. Andō and his wife Danaë interrogate Mycroft. Carlyle returns to the bash', gets to know Eureka Weeksbooth and touches base with Mycroft.
March the twenty-fourth, Renunciation Day
Mycroft and Censor Vivien Ancelet calculate the economic and cultural impact of the Black Sakura situation. Dominic Seneschal enters the Saneer-Weeksbooth bash' to investigate. The Hive leaders approve J.E.D.D. Mason to lead the investigation of the crime. Mycroft answers questions for two Utopians who are also on the case.
Switching narrators briefly, Martin Guildbreaker dictates an interview with Black Sakura reporter Tsuneo Sugiyama, where he begins to learn about the conspicuous suicides and car crashes which have been subtly affecting world politics.
March the twenty-fifth
An unplanned security drill is called that morning at the Saneer-Weeksbooth bash'. J.E.D.D. Mason arrives. They realize that Dominic has been skulking around the bash'house for a full day. J.E.D.D. and Ockham negotiate.
Mycroft finds Bridger distressed: Dominic Seneschal has found Bridger's cave and confiscated many items. Mycroft wants to hide Bridger, but Thisbe is suspicious. Carlyle finds out Mycroft is the infamous serial killer Mycroft Canner who tortured, murdered, and ate the seventeen Mardi bash' members thirteen years before.
Julia Doria-Pamphili, Mycroft's court-appointed sensayer, arrives. Carlyle and Julia travel together and discuss how Andō and Danaë's bash'kids are suspiciously entering high offices throughout the Hives.
March the twenty-sixth
Saladin, Mycroft's secret lover and accomplice, has found the only remaining Mardi, Tully. Mycroft asks Saladin to kill Bridger if he is about to be captured.
Thisbe and Carlyle go to the 'black hole' in Paris which Eureka says J.E.D.D. Mason frequents. It turns out to be a secret, Eighteenth-Century era themed, high-security Gendered Sex Club, where some worship J.E.D.D. Mason as a god. They find out that the world leaders often secretly assemble and make deals here, united by Madame D'Arouet and J.E.D.D. Mason, her son.
Martin Guildbreaker conducts interviews with Cato Weeksbooth and his psychiatrist. Mycroft discusses Madame's club and the Humanist's Death Wish List with Eureka over text. He stumbles upon Tully Mardi in public and has his cover as a Servicer blown. He and Tully attempt to attack each other, which is prevented by the Utopians. Mycroft is taken to Julia Doria-Pamphili's office, where he overhears a theological tryst between her and Dominic Seneschal.
The world leaders meet at Madame's. Saladin finds Bridger in distress, takes him to a safe house, and decides to hunt down Dominic.
March the twenty-seventh
Carlyle finds a group of Humanists harassing Servicers near Bridger's cave. Seeing Bridger's collection cave, as full of toys as J.E.D.D. Mason's home was full of religious relics, Carlyle realizes a connection between them. He departs for Paris.
A final interlude by Martin Guildbreaker commences: a consultation with Commissioner General Ektor Papadelias. By examining the pattern of car crashes and Cato Weeksbooth's suicidal episodes, they realize the Saneer-Weeksbooth bash' is carrying out targeted assassinations, ostensibly in order to maintain the world political status quo and prevent war. They debate the kill-dozens-to-save-thousands ethics of pursuing this investigation. If these assassinations are revealed, war may begin.

The Neue Zürcher Nachrichten (New Zürich News) (NZN) was a Catholic daily newspaper published in the city of Zürich from 1904 to 1991. The newspaper, founded in Zürich in 1896, was closely associated with the Christlichsoziale Partei (Christian Social Party, today's Christian Democratic People's Party, CVP) and supported the establishment and consolidation of Catholic associations and Christian social party work around Zürich.
History
From weekly newspaper to daily
From 1896, the Zürcher Nachrichten was published twice a week. It was the mouthpiece of the diaspora Catholics in Zürich, which at that time was still strongly influenced by Zwinglianism. At a meeting of the Katholisch-Konservativen Volkspartei (Catholic-Conservative People's Party) in Lucerne, it was stated that a large increase in the share of votes in the Catholic cantons was no longer possible. In order to advance to Zürich, the small Catholic paper was to be expanded into a first-class daily newspaper including a business association. On the initiative of the printer Theodat Bucher and the editor-in-chief of Die Ostschweiz, Georg Baumberger, who moved to Zürich, the Neue Zürcher Nachrichten was created.
Upswing and consolidation
Unlike many smaller Catholic newspapers, however, the NZN was always nationally oriented. This was also reflected in the fact that in 1929 around half of the copies printed were read outside the Canton of Zürich. The paper's easy-to-read, smug, sometimes slightly polemical style was appreciated. In the struggle of the Zürich Catholics for public recognition, the NZN was their mouthpiece. On the occasion of the newspaper's 50th anniversary, the Globus department store advertised: "We have been regularly advertising in the 'Neue Zürcher Nachrichten' for years, because we know how to assess the purchasing power of the approximately 200,000 Catholics in the Canton of Zürich as a considerable economic factor!" In 1963, at the height of Catholic integration efforts, Urs Bürgi became the first Catholic to be elected to the Government Council of the Canton of Zürich, the Roman Catholic Church was recognized under constitutional law, and the CSP sent five National Councillors to Bern, more than ever before.
In addition to the newspapers Vaterland and Die Ostschweiz, in the 1960s the NZN became an important partner of the small CVP newspapers, which had come under strong financial pressure and economic hardship. The following Catholic or CVP-affiliated newspapers appeared as front pages of the NZN, especially in the diaspora cantons: Neue Berner Nachrichten, Basler Volksblatt, Aargauer Volksblatt (Baden), Schwyzer Nachrichten (until 1975), and Hochwacht (Winterthur).Hartmann: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen im schweizerischen Pressewesen. ("Possibilities and limits in the Swiss press system.") Arbeitsgemeinschaft der katholischen Presse, 1967. After the Vaterland had also courted some of these papers, talks were held from 1969 onwards in order to join forces and create a large Catholic newspaper with regional editions in the long term. Out of fear of too great a loss of autonomy, a combination of advertisements, "Katholischer Pressering", was created in parallel in secret negotiations with the Basler Volksblatt, the Aargauer Volksblatt and the Solothurner Nachrichten.
Long decline from 1972
The NZN itself and the support of its smaller partner newspapers could only be financed from the profits of the printing house in Zürich's Seefeld quarter. When this was no longer possible in the early 1970s due to overcapacity in the printing industry, the progressive Catholic NZN itself became the head of the rather conservative Ostschweiz. In 1972, the Börsig and Bucher families sold their shares in Neue Zürcher Nachrichten to the Orell Füssli company. The newspaper was now without a print shop. The Ostschweiz took over the delivery of the cover pages, production, shipping, collection and accounting in exchange for the subscription and advertising revenues. The costs of the editorial office in Zürich were borne by the church. In 1980, however, the Central Commission (the executive of the cantonal church) decided to abolish the subsidies and use the money to expand the parish newspaper somewhat.
NZN Press Club
Various fundraising campaigns were held to strengthen the newspaper. In later years, the publishing house was brought back from St. Gallen to Zürich and the editorial staff was equipped with computers so that the manuscripts no longer had to be sent by express to St. Gallen and retyped there. This was financed by the NZN Press Club, an association membership in which cost 1000 francs.
End
Due to the recognition of the Catholic Church and the integration of Catholics into public life, cohesion and struggle were no longer necessary to the same extent as before. At the same time, a social change began around 1968, which severely affected both the churches and the ideological press.See also: Urs Altermatt: Der Weg der Schweizer Katholiken ins Ghetto : Die Entstehungsgeschichte der nationalen Volksorganisationen im Schweizer Katholizismus, 1848–1919. ("The path of the Swiss Catholics to the ghetto: The history of the emergence of the national popular organizations in Swiss Catholicism, 1848-1919.") Freiburg i. Ü., 1995: Saint-Paul. While the inner Catholic binding forces became weaker, for financial reasons it was not possible to expand the product to enlarge its reach outside its own milieu. In the dispute over the Diocese of Chur, the newspaper got caught between the opposing sides and lost many subscribers. After the circulation had fallen from 12,000 (1985) to 5000 (1991), the financial situation was unsustainable, and the newspaper was discontinued at the end of April.
Founded in 1946, NZN Buchverlag''' published collections of articles and essays in the daily newspaper and quickly developed into an internationally renowned art book publisher. In 1972 it was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church of the Canton of Zürich, which ceded it in 2005 to become the Catholic line of the Protestant Theologischer Verlag Zürich of the Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Zürich.
Editors
Georg Baumberger took over the management when the daily Neue Zürcher Nachrichten was founded. From the end of 1899 to 1902, the writer Heinrich Federer was editor-in-chief, and in the 1920s and 1930s, Emil Buomberger, later a CSP city councillor, headed the editorial office. Later, Hermann Odermatt took over this office for many years. One of the most renowned Catholic publicists, Carl Doka (1896–1980), was editor of the newspaper from 1946 to 1952, having previously headed the editorial staff of the Ostschweiz since 1932.
Supplements
The Neue Zürcher Nachrichten was published seven times a week, with an additional morning paper on Monday. Later it was decided to publish only six editions a week. In addition to a trade section edited by the publishing house (Wirtschaftsbund), there were a number of weekly Sunday supplements: Katholische Kultur ("Catholic Culture"), Wissenschaft und Technik ("Science and Technology"), Literarische Warte, Die Welt der Frau ("Woman's World"), Die Scholle and Der Erzähler. Katholische Kultur later became Christ und Kultur ("Christ and Culture") and Religion aktuell ("Current Religion"), after the dissolution of the NZN Central Editorial Office, editorially supervised by the Vaterland, which appeared in all Catholic newspapers in Switzerland.

The church of the Carmine Maggiore is a Roman Catholic church located on Piazza Carmine in front of an open market in the city of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy.
History
A church at this site appears to date to the 13th-century with the arrival of monks from the Carmelite order, who had left the Holy Land circa 1235. A church at the site was rebuilt over the centuries. Gothic tracery in one of the chapels likely derives from an earlier church. The facade and present structure derives from a construction that took place from 1627 to 1693.
The layout is that of a Latin cross with a central nave and two aisles. The nave is flanked by 12 columns made from stone from Billiemi. The ceiling was frescoed by Giovanni Patricolo. Niches on the pilasters of the dome hold four statues by Vincenzo Messina: St Elias, John the Baptist, Jonah, and Moses. The exterior of the dome, tiled with maiolica is supported on the outside by telamons. The chapel of the Madonna del Carmine was stuccoed by Giacomo Serpotta.

Seven Surrenders is the second novel of Terra Ignota, a quartet of science fiction novels by the American author Ada Palmer. It was published on November 28, 2017. It was a finalist for the 2018 Locus Award for Best Science Ficiton Novel. It is preceded by Too Like the Lightning (2016) and followed by The Will to Battle (2017), and Perhaps the Stars (2021).
The Earth of the Terra Ignota quartet has seen several centuries of near-total peace and prosperity. Set in the year 2454, Seven Surrenders is the second half of a fictional memoir written by self-confessed unreliable narrator Mycroft Canner, a brilliant, infamous, and paroled criminal who often serves the world's most powerful leaders. He has been commissioned by several other characters to write the "history" that the series is presented as. The novel describes the accelerating events leading to the fall of the Hive system and the beginning of global war.
Setting
Advanced technology has led to the advent of a near-utopian golden age. However, there are still tensions among political groups, such as distribution of land, citizens, and income. Rather than geographic nations, people can voluntarily join Hives based on values or remain Hiveless, choosing only a minimum set of laws to adhere to. There are seven Hives: the Humanists who value achievement; Cousins, philanthropy; Masons, logic; Gordians, intelligence; Europe, national identity; Mitsubishi, land and business; and Utopians, the future. There are three groups of Hiveless who each adhere to the White, Gray, and Black laws. Each Hive has its own capitol, form of government, and favored language. All are allotted representatives in the Universal Free Alliance Senate.
Gendered language
By default, almost all characters use gender-neutral language, with "they/them" the predominant pronoun used. Mycroft, the primary narrator, finds his world's obsession with gender-neutrality oppressive, so often uses gendered pronouns to refer to other characters, assigning genders based on the characters' personalities and roles, as they relate to traditional Western gender roles. For instance, Chagatai is referred to using "she/her" pronouns because of their fierce, lioness-like strength when protecting their nephew from attack. The author has explained that Mycroft frequently "misuses" gendered pronouns, just as people in real life often make mistakes when using gender-neutral pronouns. Also, in its chapter at the start of Seven Surrenders, Sniper advises the reader to not "trust the gendered pronouns Mycroft gives people, they all come from Madame". Mycroft sometimes varies the gendered pronouns he gives characters. For instance, Carlyle is mostly referred to using she/her pronouns starting with Seven Surrenders, whereas in the first book Carlyle is referred to with he/him pronouns.
Plot
Seven Surrenders describes the final three days of Mycroft's history of the "seven days of transformation", March 27–29, 2454.
March the twenty-seventh (continued)
Sniper awakens paralyzed inside a lifedoll box as a gift from Dominic Seneschal to Julia Doria-Pamphilli.
Ockham meets with Ganymede, Andō, and European Prime Minister Casimir Perry, to discuss what steps should be taken in the face of recent events. They propose using O.S., the nickname for the Saneer-Weeksbooth's secret system of strategic assassinations which has maintained world peace for almost three centuries.
Carlyle finds herself lured into a meeting with Dominic, her newly reassigned sensayer. The session is interrupted by the arrival of the Utopian Voltaire Seldon, who had tracked the Canner Device to Dominic's room. After breaking her down thoroughly, Dominic convinces Carlyle to work with her to harness Bridger's power for J.E.D.D. Mason. Desperate to preserve Bridger, Mycroft tries to get through to Carlyle, but she switches off her tracker before he can finish.
A flashback to thirteen years ago depicts the scene at Madame's when the world leaders decided Mycroft's sentence after his murder spree.
Mycroft finds Saladin in custody at Madame's. Cornel MASON demands an explanation about Apollo Mojave's coat and the immense number of lethal weapons stored within it. Mycroft reveals that the Mardi bash' had been preparing for global war.
After Sniper's kidnappers return it, the Saneer-Weeksbooth bash' holds a meeting of O.S. to decide whether or not to obey President Ganymede's potential hit order. Carlyle is discovered hiding and listening in. Thisbe drags her away and coerces Carlyle to confess her role as Conclave Head Julia Doria-Pamphili's pawn. Bridger sneaks into Madame's but Mycroft declines to be rescued.
At the Utopian Transit Network with Guildbreaker and Papadelias, a Cartesian set-set unintentionally reveals the breadth and depth of O.S.'s impact. Since the Saneer-Weeksbooth transit system began using Cartesian set-sets 244 years ago, they have caused 2,204 deaths and also saved the world dozens of times. Papa convinces Carlyle to share her recording of the bash's recent meeting. Weighing the consequences, J.E.D.D. Mason, Guildbreaker, Papa, and the Utopians agree to set a trap around O.S.'s next target.
March the twenty-eighth
Sniper visits Faust at Brill's Institute. They debate about current events and faction tensions, before finding Tully Mojave giving another soapbox speech. With millions of fans watching, Sniper joins in and supports Tully.
Julia Doria-Pamphili calls the Mitsubishi set-sets to negotiate the situation they've caused at the CFB. Carlyle is eavesdropping and confronts Julia. Papadelias arrests the Conclave Head, but not before she reveals who Carlyle's biological mother is.
The world leaders, including newly inducted Casimir Perry, assemble at Madame's. All the secrets they've been keeping from each other, including O.S., are revealed. Carlyle sneaks in and confronts Danaë. Casimir Perry reveals himself to be Merion Kraye, a disgraced European politician who assaulted Danaë and fathered Carlyle. After faking his own death and clawing his way back into power with a new identity, Perry-Kraye stole the Seven-Ten list in order to expose O.S. and destroy Andō and Ganymede. He also reveals that the Mitsubishi set-sets were originally developed to interface with the Canner Device as an alternative assassination system, before they were scattered by the Cousins and reunited by Andō and Danaë.
Perry-Kraye drags Ganymede out a window, but Sniper catches them. Perry-Kraye had lured Sniper there and ordered O.S. to assassinate the next target, falling into Papa's trap. As the world leaders and Mycroft are caught together on Sniper's ever-present cameras, the scandal of Madame's is revealed to the world.
A car crash victim's bash' destroys the backup transit system. Ockham, now Prospero, passes the leadership of O.S. to Sniper.
March the twenty-ninth
Martin Guildbreaker and Papadelias arrive to arrest the Saneer-Weeksbooths, but Sniper, Lesley, Sydney, and one of the Typers have fled. Thisbe and Croucher tell Papa about Bridger. He sees the similarities and realizes that Saladin is alive.
Carlyle goes to J.E.D.D. Mason's house and they discuss the latter's guest-godhood. Cornel MASON and Mycroft discuss Apollo's secrets at their tomb. An ambush by Papadelias separates Bridger from the Major.
With Sniper's help, Tully Mojave orates from the Rostra in Romanova. J.E.D.D. Mason interrupts and begins to give a report to the world. He is assassinated by Sniper, who declares that J.E.D.D. Mason posed a threat to the Hive system. Sniper escapes. Bridger appears and resurrects J.E.D.D. Mason before disappearing again.
Mycroft presents seven scenes, of the titular seven surrenders:
Vice President Brody DeLupa goes rogue and begs for the Humanist Hive to be dissolved, forcing the Anonymous to reveal their identity and cool the situation.
After the Mardi murders thirteen years earlier, Felix Faust decides to make J.E.D.D. Mason the centerpiece of the next Brillist Brain bash'.
In the Alliance Senate, Bryar Kosala details the corruption of the CFB and advocates dissolving the Cousins. Heloïse interrupts and offers an interim Constitution drafted by J.E.D.D. Mason. During Heloïse's speech, the European Parliament and its officials are destroyed by missiles at the behest of Perry-Kraye.
Twenty-two years before, the male world leaders discuss Madame's pregnancy and its political ramifications. Cornel MASON offers to make the baby imperial Porphyrogene.
After the bombing of the European Parliament, the King of Spain arrives to pick up the pieces. Crown Prince Leonor died in the blast, leaving J.E.D.D. Mason next in line.
Thirteen years earlier, Mushi Mojave surrenders to Madame and negotiates terms on behalf of the Utopians.
The night of the assassination and bombing, Tōgenkyō is subsumed in riots. Papadelias prepares to arrest the Mitsubishi Directorate. The Directors realize they can save the Hive by handing power to J.E.D.D. Mason. Finding a way to survive yet resist, Andō gives leadership to Dominic Seneschal instead.
In the hospital, Papa updates Mycroft on the coups and informs him he is the new Anonymous. Julia Doria-Pamphilli was nearly killed. Sniper turned out to be one of Bridger's animated dolls. Dominic Seneschal is hospitalized after chasing and killing it. Cornel MASON and Madame discuss her motivations and end their relationship. J.E.D.D. Mason, having realized that death does not destroy each person's potential universe, declares that he will accept the powers given to him, orders Mycroft to kill Sniper, and decides to publish the truth about all that has occurred so everyone can make informed choices about which side of the war to join.
Mycroft finds a distraught Bridger hiding in the Sniper Doll Museum. Bridger puts on the uniform of a World War II soldier and transforms himself into the Major, who is revealed to be the legendary hero Achilles. Mycroft and Achilles mourn the loss of Bridger, then begin to plan for the war to come.

Reception
Liz Bourke of Tor.com wrote that it is "playfully baroque, vividly characterised, and possessed of a lively sense of humour," though she criticized its density. Kirkus Reviews described it as, "Rich food for thought; perhaps not entirely digestible." Publishers Weekly likewise praised it as "many-layered and engrossing," but convoluted.

Reinhard Stupperich (born 26 July 1951 in Münster) is a German classical archaeologist.
The son of the theologian Robert Stupperich, he studied history, Greek, Latin and classical archaeology at the University of Münster from 1970 to 1971. In 1975 he passed the First Philological State Examination for teaching at grammar schools. From 1975 to 1976 he studied classical and provincial Roman archaeology as well as ancient history at the University of Oxford. In the summer of 1976 he was involved in excavations at the Roman villa of Gorhambury in Verulamium and in Mycenaean beehive tombs in Messinia. In 1977 he received his doctorate from Münster for the dissertation Staatsbegräbnis und Privatgrabmal im klassischen Athen ("State funeral and private tomb in classical Athens"). In 1977 and 1979 Stupperich took part in excavations in Oberaden and Messinia. Stupperich received a travel grant from the German Archaeological Institute in 1980–81. From 1983 he worked as a university assistant at the University of Münster. In 1989 he also completed his habilitation in classical archaeology. From 1990 to 2001 he taught as a professor at the University of Mannheim. From 1989 to 1994 he led the excavation in the Westtor necropolis of Assos. At the end of 2001, after the closure of the Classical Archaeology department at the University of Mannheim, he was transferred to the Institut für Klassische Archäologie und Byzantinische Archäologie (Institute of Classical Archaeology and Byzantine Archaeology) at Heidelberg University. He retired in 2019.
In 1994, Stupperich, together with the contemporary historian Heinz A. Richter, founded the journal Thetis. Mannheimer Beiträge zur klassische Archäologie und Geschichte Griechenlands und Zyperns ("Thetis. Mannheim contributions to classical archeology and history of Greece and Cyprus"). In addition, in 1995 the two launched the publication series Peleus. Studien zur Geschichte und Archäologie Griechenlands und Zyperns ("Peleus. Studies on the history and archaeology of Greece and Cyprus"). Since Volume 23 (2016–2018), Thetis has been published by Stupperich alone and under the new subtitle Mannheimer Beiträge zur Archäologie und Geschichte der antiken Mittelmeerkulturen ("Mannheim Contributions to the Archaeology and History of Ancient Mediterranean Cultures"), and is, therefore, dedicated only to topics of classical studies. Since the same time, the series Peleus has been published without Stupperich's participation and is limited to topics in the modern history of Greece and Cyprus.
Stupperich was First Chairman of the Deutscher Archäologen-Verband (German Archaeological Association) from 1998 to 2002 and has been a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute since 1995.

is a museum in Tokyo, Japan. It is part of The University of Tokyo. UMUT was established in 1966 to mainly preserve the collection of the university. Today UMUT works with preservation, research, and exhibitions for the general public.
History
The University Museum was established on April 1, 1966 under the name . In 1984 an extension of the main museum was built to house a dedicated exhibition space. On May 11, 1996 the museum was reorganized and got its current name. While the name in English remained the same, the new Japanese name reflected the ambition to work more on showing the collection to the public. The three last characters in both names could be translated as museum, but the old name is perhaps better translated as archive. In connection to the reorganization a new extension (2996 m2) to the main building was completed in 1995. In 2001 the old faculty of medicine building, which was relocated to Koishikawa Botanical Garden in 1969, was opened as a new exhibition space. In 2013 the exhibition space Intermediatheque (IMT) was opened in the old Central Post Office next to Tokyo Station. This larger space (~3000 m2) was established in part to show more of the museum collection. In 2014 an exhibition space called "Space Exploration, Education, and Discovery" (SEED) was opened at the TeNQ Space Museum, next to Tokyo Dome.
Mako Komuro, formerly Princess Mako of Akishino, the niece of Emperor Naruhito, worked as a researcher at the museum in 2016. Her father, Crown Prince Akishino, has also worked at the museum and is an honorary fellow.
Facilities
The main building is situated in the south end of Hongō University campus and houses the main collection, as well as offices, research labs and a smaller exhibition space (~600 m2) — the Hall of Inspiration. The museum also has three satellite facilities with exhibitions.
Koishikawa Annex – The old faculty of medicine building which was relocated to Koishikawa Botanical Garden in 1969.
Intermediatheque – exhibition space next to Tokyo Station with permanent and temporary exhibitions. Many old specimen cabinets are used for the displays.
SEED, TeNQ – exhibition next to Tokyo Dome focused on space exploration and the universe.
Collection
UMUT has a main collection of 4 million items. It furthermore has several special collections. One such collection is the University Herbarium which holds over 1.7 million specimens. This herbarium has a large collection of specimens from the Himalayas and East Asia. The Index Herbariorum code assigned to this herbarium is TI, which is used when citing specimens. The museum collection originates from the time of the founding of the University of Tokyo in 1877 and some parts of the collection predate that as it comes from older institutions. Some of the mechanical displays now shown at Intermediatheque come e.g. from the Imperial College of Engineering which was incorporated into the new University of Tokyo. In the photography album of The University of Tokyo published in 1900 by Ogawa Kazumasa several images depict the collections and exhibitions of the university faculties.
Publications
UMUT has two main publication series, the Research Bulletin and the Material Reports. UMUT has also published a newsletter since 1996, Ouroboros (ISSN 1342-3614), with 3 issues per year. Between 1984 and 1995 another series of newsletters was published.

USS AFDM-3, (former YFD-6), was the lead ship of the AFDM-3-class floating dry dock built in 1943 and operated by the United States Navy.
Construction and career
YFD-6 was built at the Chicago Bridge and Iron Shipyard, in Chicago, Illinois in January 1943. She was commissioned on 9 December 1943.
From 24 to 26 June 1944, USS Larch (YN-16) was dry-docked inside YFD-6. In late December 1944, USS Arikara (AT-98) voyaged to Trinidad where she took YFD-6 in tow before continuing on to the Panama Canal. On 26 June 1945, YFD-6 was prepared transiting the Panama Canal, circa 1945. YFD-6's center section fully turned 90 degrees, floating on its side with the support of a thousand Navy pontoons installed atop the wing wall. This work, done by Navy SeaBees, was necessary to allow the drydock section to fit through the canal's locks. USS YT-355, USS Alarka (YTB-229) and USS Umpqua (ATA-209) guided and towed the dry dock through the canal. In AUgust 1946, the dry dock was re-designated as AFDM-3. USS Gauger (YO-55) towed AFDM-3 and steaming in company with USS Bluebird (ASR-19), USS Cahuilla (ATF-152) and USS Tawakoni (ATF-114), she reached Pearl Harbor on 12 October 1946. In latter 1948, AFDM-3 and USS AFDM-7 arrived at the Balboa yard to be prepared to transit the Panama Canal similarly to the USS AFDM-1.
Throughout 1950, The US Navy done heavy workload on AFDM-3, USS AFDM-7 and USS AFDM-9.
In 1986, AFDM-3, USS ARD-10 and USS ARD-16 were all laid up in Mobile, Alabama.
In 1999, the dry dock was leased to the Bender Shipbuilding and Repair Company.
The AFDM-6 was struck from the Naval Register on 15 November 2000. On 1 April 2002, it was sold to the company in Mobile.
In 2010, the Bender Shipbuilding Company was declared bankrupt thus all systems were acquired by the Signal International. After 2018, the shipyard was sold to World Marine of Alabama.

Sukanya grew up in Thyagaraja Vilasam in the old Triplicane area of Chennai. She listened to music from an early age, loving percussion then already. Sukanya and her sister Bhanumati were first sent to take Carnatic vocal lessons under Thazhakudi Ayyasaami Iyer. Later, she was sent to learn the violin at the music school Shree Jaya Ganesha Tala Vadya Vidyalaya near her home, set up by the family of the ghatam exponent Vikku Vinayakram. Her violin masters were Dhanapalan and Vikku's brother T. H. Gurumoorthy. Vinayakram's father T. H. Harihara Sharma noticed that Sukanya was more interested in mridangam class there. He secretly taught her mridangam. But soon she was attracted to the ghatam and learned ghatam from Vinayakram and his father. Her Guru Vinayakram, who at first said, 'This instrument is very difficult for a girl', seeing her dedication and prowess, agreed to teach her.

Irene Lorenco e Barros or Irene Barros was an Indian politician, INC loyalist and pioneer for woman politicians from the state of Goa. She was the 1st woman to be elected as a Sarpanch (equivalent to a mayor of city council) in the state of Goa, and the 1st and only woman to serve as president of the Indian National Congress- Goa. She generally used her husbands family surname. According to the Congress party she was probably the 1st female Sarpanch in India.
Family and biography
Born Irene Lorenco, In 1930, to the lorenco family of Bhiunsa-Cuncolim in erstwhile Portuguese Goa. She was the niece of Monsignor Agapito lorenco, prominent clergyman and educationalist, instrumental in setting up eductional institutes in cuncolim.
Irene went on to do her B.A and would marry into the Barros(a.k.a De Barros) family of Betalbatim, originally moragardio family of Carambolim, who claim descent from Vijayanagara warlords and Bahamani/Adil Shah princes.The family was later recognized as Moca Fidalgos(Hidalgo) by royal decree 22 March 1688 before moving to Cansaulim and Betabatim. She married Dr Leo Mackenson Barros, younger brother of Prof.Jose Fransico Simiao Barros(regis), a satyagrahi for the Goa freedom movement(one of the few aristocrats to participate), and son of (regis) D.Antonio Pedro Barros, who would go on to be referred to as Regis(meaning:of the king/king's man) due to his service to the royal government in the African colonies around Mozambique.
Entrance into politics
Her husband Dr Barros was a well known medical practitioner in his hometown as well the surrounding villages, hence Mrs Barros was already popular, and was known to help her neighborhood as many were not highly educated at that time. With the Annexation of Goa by India in December 1961, The Panchayat system and elections were setup in Goa, and Irene decided to actively enter politics despite facing objections from friends as it was considered unbefitting for a woman to involved in politics. She stood in Goa's 1st ever panchayat elections and proved to be the popular candidate.
Career
Barros was unanimously chosen to head the council and was declared Sarpanch, making her the 1st woman in Goa and possibly the whole of India to hold a post of that rank. She is known to have even allowed the use of the anti-hall of the barros manor as the makeshift office and village hall during the early years while the barros family and other prominent townsfolk personally contributed to construct a building for the local government.She would go on to serve 3 terms (15years) as sarpanch and would often rely on hers and in-laws personal wealth to finance the development of the village.
She strongly supported the United Goans Party candidate in the Goa's 1st state legislative assembly, her brother-in-law Prof Jose Barros's cousin, Dr Maurillo Furtardo one of main leaders of the united goans, who became the 1st MLA of Benaulim (Goa Assembly constituency).
Her support for the party would come again, when she strongly voiced her support for the Goa Opinion Poll to be held, and strongly opposed the introduction of liquor laws by the MGP Party, stating that the culture that accepts women can drink was progressive(which was considered taboo in the rest of India).
After the success of the Opinion poll in saving Goa's future, Barros worked for the strengthening of an almost nonexistent presence of the Indian National Congress, and became closely associated with then prime minister Indira Gandhi who appreciated her as a strong woman candidate. Barros played a major role in bringing INC into power for the 1st time, which would remain in uninterrupted power for 15 years until internal split in the party.With Congress forming the government in 1980, Barros was soon nominated as president of Goa Pradesh Congress Committee, with shri Pratapsingh Rane as Chief Minister of Goa.
With the fall of Shashikala Kakodkar, and simultaneous governments in the Lok sabha and Goa for the 1st time, many referred to Mrs Barros during her tenure as 'The most powerful woman in Goa'. Citing her inability to control infighting amongst the congress MLAs as well as her loss of local popularity and support, Barros was relieved of her post in 1982 by Sulochana Katkar.
Later life and death
After being relieved as president, She served as Chairman of Goa Provedoria (Institute of Public Assistance) briefly. Much before her retirement much of the Barros family's wealth had been spent with her support for development and the fight over Goa Opinion Poll , including her brother-in-law Prof Jose Barros whose small time Iron ore Business was taken over by Chowgule Group in financial support of his cousin Dr Maurillo Furtardo, who himself was forced to sell his successful medical clinic in Karachi, to garner support against the Goa merger with Maharashtra, Prompting him to refer to his comrades and himself as Martyr Politicians. Hence Mrs Barros and her children would live and identify as part of the middle-class.
After her retirement she was often asked to head and speak in multiple women empowerment groups all over Goa well into her old age. She began to shy away from public life after she lost 2 of her daughters to Breast Cancer.
She was diagnosed with Covid-19 in April 2020 and was admitted at Goa Medical College, but made a recovery and was discharged, but a while later, was admitted once again due to her deteriorating condition. She was shifted to the GMC ICU where special attention was given to her on request of the health minster Vishwajit Rane, son of her colleague Pratapsingh Rane. She passed away on 22 August 2021, due to post-COVID complications of Acute Kidney Failure and Electrolyte Imbalance
Barros has been cited as an inspiration for all Goan women by GPCC.

Leptogromia operculata is a species of testate amoeba which has three flexible 'membranes' which can be opened or closed, and has a large number of filopodia which L. operculata uses to move around and to catch prey.
Description
L. operculata has a rounded and triangular aperture, with a small tube which it uses to fill its membrane. L. operculata has filopodia which have bidirectional streams of small granules. L. operculata also can show a web of long pseudopodia which it can use in order to catch prey , or to move around.
Ecology
L. operculata usually lives in brackish and marine environments. Volkanov (the person who first described leptogromia operculata) reported the first sighting of the testate amoeba in the black sea, and sampled the organism from sediment from a small stream of water.
Remarks
The most remarkable feature of L. operculata is its globule which is always present in the cytoplasm just above its aperture, another remarkable thing about its aperture is that it has a triangular shape. However, Valkanov reported it as being cicular in shape, but he has probably overlooked this small trait.

Politically active within Carlism, he is known mostly as commander of the regional branch of the Carlist paramilitary organization, Requeté; he was also among key civilians engaged in the anti-Republican conspiracy and the 1936 coup in Catalonia. He vehemently opposed unification into the state party Falange Española Tradicionalista and after the civil war he remained engaged in conspiracy against the Franco regime.
Family and youth
The family of Conill/Cunill is among the oldest ones in Catalonia, noted since the medieval times. Over time it got moderately branched, mostly in the provinces of Barcelona, Girona and in the Baleares. It is not clear which branch the ancestors of Cunill Postius were related to. The most distant of his forefathers identified is a paternal grandfather, José Cunill Traserra; in the 1870s he was referred to as “conocido industrial” in the city of Berga, already at the Pyrenean foothills. His son Victoriano Cunill Pujol (1860-1925) was also an entrepreneur. In the late 19th century he operated a mid-size textile plant Lluis Nè, and then purchased another one, called cal Patata; in the 1920s the integrated business consisted of some 38 machines. Cunill Pujol was also president of Sindicato Patronal de Sastrería de Berga and Sociedad de Maestros Sastres.
In 1883 Cunill Pujol married Rosa Postius Sala (1864-1929); she was daughter to Jaime Postius Vilardaga, a merchant from Berga. The couple had 3 children, born between 1886 and 1899; José María was born as the younger son and second oldest child. There is nothing known about his early childhood, except that the family was very pious; the brother of Rosa, Juan Postius Sala, entered the Claretian order, served on overseas missions, and was personal friend to Federico Tedeschini and Eugenio Pacelli. In the 1910s the young José María frequented Escuela Superior de Comercio in Barcelona and obtained the title of contador mercantil; it is not clear whether he pursued an academic career afterwards. He engaged in the family business and following military service at the turn of the decades, in the early 1920s he remained busy upgrading the Berga textile plant.
At unspecified time but in 1928 latest Cunill Postius married Mercedes Solá Brujas (1907-1993); she descended from an established family from Matadepera near Terrassa, which since medieval times owned large plots in the area. The couple settled at the bride's estate and since 1928 Cunill is noted as related to agricultural business in Terrassa, propietario and l’industrial terrasenc. They had 8 children. The oldest one, José María Cunill Solá, became a Catholic priest and served on apostolic missions overseas; he propagated liberation theology, embraced socialism and was co-founder of Comité Oscar Romero and Asociación de Amics del Bisbe Casaldàliga. Another son, Antonio Cunill Solá, as a deacon remained active in Bandera Roja and served in the Terrassa council as the representative of PSUC. Cunill Postius’ grandson Francesc Dalmases Cunill was a well-known mountain climber.
Towards Catalan requeté command
In the 1920s Cunill remained engaged in his agricultural Terrassa business, which at some point involved even international trading in grain. By the end of the decade he suffered a series of accidents: in 1928 his Granja de Productos Agrícolas warehouse in Terrassa was consumed by fire, in 1929 his warehouse at Rambla de Egara was robbed, and in 1930 there was another robbery and minor damage recorded. It is not clear whether these were accidental misfortunes or rather the mark of growing social tension. Cunill animated Sindicato Agrícola de Terrassa and in 1930 as its representative he entered junta directiva of Unión de Sindicatos y Agricultores de Cataluña, where he became the vice-president. Except for agricultural syndicates, there is no information either on his public activity at the time or on political stand adopted during dictadura and dictablanda.
Following declaration of the Republic in 1931 Cunill was involved in Peña Ibérica, a Barcelona association which originated as a sports group and which gradually assumed a right-wing political flavor. Its members - Carlists, Alfonsists, supporters of PNE – might have been involved in loose conspiracy against the regime. What political current Cunill was associated with at the time is unclear; there is neither any information on political preferences in his family. However, in 1932 he was for the first time recorded as related to Carlism. During elections to the newly established Catalan parliament he appeared as Traditionalist on the list of Dreta de Catalunya in the Barcelona province district. The alliance performed badly, trailing behind Esquerra (65,300), Lliga (36,980), Partit Catalanista Republicá (21,654) and Partit Republicá Radical (19,025); with 5,903 votes Dreta failed to win a single mandate.
In the early 1930s Cunill was engaged in buildup of the local Terrassa branch of the Carlist paramilitary organization, Requeté. Uniformed members of the unit took part in public religious events, held guard in front of churches or convents, engaged in leafleting and assembled own rallies. Though the organization was short of massive, Cunill-led detachments amounting up to 50 members commenced trainings and drills in the countryside. Until 1933 the Terrassa branch emerged as the best-organized local requeté section in Catalonia. Cunill himself was recognized as supporter of firm anti-Republican measures, “partidario de pasar a la acción”. As such, he opposed the moderate line advocated by the Catalan Carlist leader, Miguel Junyent. In mid-1933 the Catalan Carlist hardliners, including Cunill, Conde de Valdellano and the Marcet brothers, mounted an offensive against Junyent; they travelled to Saint-Jean-de-Luz to speak with the claimant Alfonso Carlos and met the nationwide requeté leader, José Luis Zamanillo. Some scholars claim the coup was animated by local Integrists. Eventually Junyent decided to step down, replaced by Lorenzo Alier Cassi. Cunill was nominated head of requeté in the entire Catalonia.
Conspiracy
As head of Catalan requeté Cunill embarked on major shake-up of the paramilitary, carried out in line with general re-organisation enforced centrally. Already in 1933 representatives of the Catalan branch took part in national rally in the Cantabrian Potes; throughout 1934 Cunill implemented new hierarchical structure and command chain, introduced strict discipline, issued ID cards and commenced regular tactical drills in the countryside. In 1934 some 15 Catalan requetés attended a training in Fascist Italy. Cunill was eager to maintain some separate identity of the Catalan branch, be it in terms of organisation or uniforms, though this did not lead to major problems. His role in buildup of the Catalan requeté is compared to this of Antonio Lizarza in Navarre.
During the 1933 elections the detachments were deployed guarding sites of right-wing parties or newspapers and at one opportunity engaged in shootout with the Escamots. During the October 1934 unrest Cunill remained in touch with the local UME; he pledged 500 men ready to confront the revolution, though it is not clear whether there were indeed any requetés engaged in action along the military. At the time he was already member of the Terrassa ayuntamiento, elected back in January, and co-owner of a local Terrassa daily Crónica Social, which he co-purchased one year earlier. Though one of key men of Catalan Carlism he was barely engaged in nationwide politics, and his taking part in consultations with Fal Conde on would-be entry into the National Bloc was rather an exceptional episode.
In 1935 Cunill represented the requeté organization in España Club, an informal Barcelona extreme-right inter-party platform related to UME. Its leaders tried to form own shock units, named Voluntariado Español; each unit was supposed to retain its political identity and the Carlists seemed the largest and the best-equipped group. It is not clear whether the nationwide requeté command was aware and approved of this scheme. Resolved to confront a forthcoming revolution, they were prepared to practice urban combat by staging assaults on a masonic centre in Terrassa and an Anarchist one in Figueres. The Voluntariado scheme was abandoned following the elections of February 1936; military conspirators decided to talk to each political grouping separately.
Since the triumph of Frente Popular Cunill was determined to mount a pre-emptive strike against the Republic. Initially he devised a local plan of action based on provocation; requetés were supposed to stage a series of sabotages disguised as revolutionary work, and pre-agreed army crackdown on Left-wing organizations was to follow. Though local Falange opted out, the date has been tentatively agreed with UME and requetés were put on highest alert awaiting a command from the military; eventually it did not come. Despite this setback Cunill remained fully committed to action and kept maintaining close links with the conspirators from UME. It is not clear what his relation with the new Carlist Catalan leader Tomás Cayla was; the latter remained rather skeptical about a violent anti-republican coup.
Civil war
Cunill was among key civilians engaged in Catalan anti-Republican conspiracy of the spring of 1936; he was also closely in touch with the nationwide Carlist command. He offered to the Barcelona military some 3,000 action-ready requetés and further 15,000 as auxiliaries; in return he received general instructions. How many volunteers indeed reported to the barracks on July 19 is unclear. Cunill led a group of some 200 men who appeared at the San Andrés quarters; some scholars claim the campaign was poorly organized. Following a chaotic day which involved some shootout, San Andrés was seized by the loyalists and Cunill was apprehended. Either the next or the following day he and other captured requetés were led to the Montcada y Reixac cemetery and shot. Cunill managed to fake death; lightly wounded, he survived also coup de grâce. Treated later by friends, he left Barcelona and in August 1936 in unclear circumstances he made it to the rebel zone.
Cunill was among the very first requetés who reached the Nationalist lines following the failed coup in Catalonia. Once he was joined by some other Carlist survivors, especially the political second-in-command, Mauricio de Sivatte, the two commenced labors to group incoming refugees into a Catalan-only Carlist combat battalion. It materialized in late 1936 as Tercio de Nuestra Señora de Montserrat, and took part in combat until the end of the war. Cunill did not join frontline units and remained engaged in the rear. In December 1936 he entered Comisión Carlista de Asuntos para Cataluña; the internal Carlist 6-member body was busy mostly with logistics and organization of Catalan Carlists. At later stages Comisión was re-organized and replaced with Jefatura Regional. However, Cunill tried to thwart similar designs on part of competing organizations. In early 1937 he and others protested to military authorities against formation of Jefatura Territorial de Cataluña de F.E. de las J.O.N.S.
Cunill was not among the Carlist heavyweights and he did not participate in key party meetings about the threat of forthcoming amalgamation into a state party. However, it is known that he remained among the most staunch opponents of the project, and that following the Unification Decree of April 1937 he refused to engage in structures of the emerging Falange Española Tradicionalista. His fate throughout 1938 is not known. In January 1939 he and other leading Catalan Carlists – like Sivatte or Vives – accompanied the Nationalist troops entering Barcelona. They immediately engaged in organization work and kept re-opening Carlist círculos in the city; the plan was to ignore unified FET structures and return to status quo ante. However, the strategy failed; within few days the Francoist military governor of Catalonia ordered all círculos to close.
Francoism
Despite the ban on non-licensed political activity Cunill engaged in buildup of semi-clandestine Carlist structures and attempted to use religious and official events as cover when advancing Traditionalist propaganda. During preparations to anniversary of the July 1936 rising in Barcelona, in July 1939 he was detained by security and placed in home arrest for 2 weeks. A later police report claimed that he organized a requeté unit named “Tercio de Nuestra Señora de Tecla”; reportedly it was busy with anti-Franco street graffiti and geared up to violent action. In 1940 an informant of security services agonized about “dangerous freedom of action” enjoyed by Sivatte and Cunill, who “promueven disturbios, editan hojas clandestinas, etc”. The same year Sivatte and Cunill organized a separate, non-official Martires de la Tradición rally; security report noted uniformed requeté detachments seen on the streets, all co-ordinated by “cabecillas antiunionistas Sivatte, Cunill y Gassio”. In 1941 strict orders were issued by the administration to prevent any such cases.
In the early 1940s Cunill and Sivatte tried to mount some local political schemes and get Traditionalists installed in municipal authorities, e.g. in Badalona. In Terrassa with moderate success and together with the Marcet Cabassa brothers Cunill attempted to build sort of a political and cultural bulwark against Francoism. It was partially disguised as a club named – again - Peña Ibérica; the FET report claimed it was “un gran estorbo para la unificación” and that local rank-and-file Traditionalists were “víctimas de la actuación de sus directivos”. Among other charges, the Falangists claimed that Cunill was co-responsible for intimidation of Barcelona bookstore owners, told to remove books of Primo de Rivera and Franco. Potentially the most explosive incident took place in 1943, following Carlist-Falangist skirmishes during the Montserrat rally. Cunill and Francisco Vivés Suriá – pistols in hand - stormed Falangist premises to free captured Carlists; as there were none, no shootout followed.
Since the mid-1940s the Navarrese Carlists tried to lure Cunill into their schemes, intended against what was perceived as appeasement policy of Fal Conde towards the Franco regime; his stand is not clear. It is known that later Cunill was getting increasingly frustrated by Fal and in a personal letter to Don Javier of early 1948 he complained about lack of bold, anti-Francoist, Traditionalist course. The claimant asked him to have full trust in the Carlist command, but also dismissed him from the post of Catalan requeté leader, the move immediately protested by Sivatte. In 1949 Cunill was already at the verge of loyalty to Don Javier: in February he asked a local Valencian leader Sara Peris to re-format party propaganda and focus on loyalty to the defunct Alfonso Carlos, in April he openly voiced against Fal and his Junta Regional, and in November he signed the last letter to Don Javier, pressing him to terminate regency and declare himself the king. At the time Cunill was at the terminal stage of cancer and he passed away some two weeks later.

Amirah Inglis (née Gutstadt, then Gust, then Turner, finally Inglis) (7 December 1926 – 2 May 2015) was an Australian communist activist and writer.
Biography
Inglis was born Amirah Gutstadt in 1926 in Brussels, Belgium, to Itzhak (also known as Isaac) and Manka (also known as Miriam) Gutstadt, who were Polish Jews. Prior to her birth, her parents had lived in Mandatory Palestine, and it was there that the Hebrew name Amirah had been suggested. At the age of two, Inglis and her mother travelled to Melbourne, Australia, to join her father there. He had adopted a new surname, Gust. For most of her childhood she was an only child: her only sibling, Ian Gust, was 14 years younger.
After schooling at Princes Hill State School and Mac.Robertson Girls' High School, she studied history at Melbourne University. It was there that she both joined the Communist Party, and met her first husband, Ian Turner, with whom she went on to have three children. She was editor of the student newspaper, Farrago, in 1944. In 1947 she was vice-president of the Students' Representative Council; Ian Turner was the president.
After university, she worked as a librarian, first with the Department of Transport and then with the Communist Party's Melbourne newspaper, the Guardian. In 1959 she and her husband and their three children moved from Melbourne to Canberra, where Ian Turner took up a PhD scholarship at the Australian National University, and where Amirah Turner taught music at the new Lyneham High School. That same year Amirah Turner wrote the music for the new school song.
In 1961 Amirah Turner left the Communist Party (Ian Turner having already been expelled); the marriage came to an end the same year. She met the historian Ken Inglis in Canberra and they married in 1965. In 1967 Ken Inglis became vice-chancellor of the University of Papua New Guinea, and Amirah (by then Amirah Inglis) and five of their combined six children went with him. It was in Port Moresby that she started to write, starting with an article for the journal Nation, although she had previously written a short story for the communist newspaper Tribune in 1956, under her then married name of Turner. Her first book was about sexual politics in Port Moresby in the 1920s and 30s. On Ken Inglis's retirement from UPNG in 1975 they returned to Canberra, where they lived until 2007, when they moved to Melbourne. Inglis died in 2015, and Ken Inglis died in 2017.

Bronco is the upcoming second studio album by Canadian country music artist Orville Peck, scheduled for release on April 8, 2022 by Sub Pop and Columbia Records.
Background and promotion
In 2019, Orville Peck released his debut studio album Pony to critical acclaim. He followed it up with the EP Show Pony (2020), intended as a bridge between his first and second albums. On February 7, 2022 Peck dropped a trailer for the album on his YouTube channel announcing the release dates for the album and its first chapter.
In lieu of singles, Peck opted to release the albums in "chapters", a choice that earned comparison to Beach House's promotional campaign for Once Twice Melody. The first chapter was released on February 11, 2022 and contained the songs "Daytona Sand", "Outta Time", "C'mon Baby Cry", and "Any Turn". "C'Mon Baby Cry" was accompanied by a video featuring cameos from comedian Margaret Cho and drag queen Kornbread Jeté.
Peck said in a press release that Bronco will be "anchored in country" with elements of country rock, psychedelia, and bluegrass. Peck will promote the album with the Bronco Tour across North America and Oceania throughout 2022.

Yakisoba-pan (焼きそばパン) is a popular Japanese food in which yakisoba is sandwiched between
an oblong white bread roll resembling an American hotdog bun known as koppe-pan.
This high-carbohydrate food item is essentially a sandwich with a filling seasoned with fried noodles that resemble some types of chow mein.
Omura describes it succinctly as a "Japanese noodle bun."
Behymer more loosely terms it a "spaghetti sandwich" and it has also been portrayed as
a Japanese stir-fried noodle sandwich.
Its appearance in many anime suggests that yakisoba-pan has become an integral part
"Japanese soul food" culture.
Moreover, scenes of young people eating this high-carb food in Japanese films such as "Hanataba mitaina koi o shita"
[I fell in love like a bouquet] or "Shitsuren meshi" [Loveless] further attest to its cultural ubiquity in Japan.
History and Variants
There are various theories about the origin of yakisoba-pan.
Most concur that it took off during the 1950s.
In that era the United States flooded Japanese markets with cheap flour products
and by 1955 it was appearing in department stores in Tokyo and soon nationwide.
Today yakisoba-pan is widely sold in convenience stores and bakeries,
not only in Japan but also in some overseas locations,
as well as school canteens.
Numerous variations of this product exist in terms of seasonings, noodle thickness,
and noodle length. Some versions of yakisoba-pan come with red pickled ginger and mayonnaise.
Others feature a bit of parsley or lettuce.
Since its ingredients tend to be cheap, this product is generally inexpensive.

The American Future Scout and Cavalry System (FSCS) and British Tactical Reconnaissance Armoured Combat Equipment Requirement (TRACER) were a joint U.S.–British reconnaissance vehicle program.
The program was begun to replace the UK's Sabre and Scimitar reconnaissance vehicles. The U.S. joined later and sought to replace their M3 Bradley.
The future scout concept was conceived at a November 1995 meeting of senior armor officials. At this meeting, officials decided a future scout and main battle tank would be the centerpiece of the Army's armor modernization plan.
In March 1996, the Army Armor Center at Fort Knox recommended that the Army develop a future scout vehicle to be ready for production around 2004 to 2006. The Army considered the M8 Armored Gun System and the M113 as the basis for the chassis. The group projected that the future scout program would cost $1 billion. The Armor Center recommended that the Army forgo the M3A3 Bradley upgrade, and instead upgrade 278 M3A2s with Operation Desert Storm fixes. The Armor Center concluded the Bradley was approaching its design limit and had many disadvantages as a scout—namely, it lacked stealth and its 25 mm canon lacked "growth potential against future threats." The Armor Center also suggested the Army consider a joint project with the Marine Corps, which was drafting requirements for the Future Light Combat Vehicle.
In October 1996 the U.S. and British armies signed a letter of intent to jointly work on a future scout vehicle. Developing the program with British cooperation was expected to save the U.S. Army 30 percent to 40 percent through the engineering and manufacturing development phase.
The UK was given contracting authority for phase one (called the project definition phase in the UK, and the advanced technology demonstration phase in the U.S.). Phase two (engineering and manufacturing development in the U.S. and full-scale development in the UK) would proceed with the phase one participants. One contractor would be downselected for low-rate production.
In November 1996, the U.S. Army updated its future scout mission need statement.
As of January 1998, the U.S. Army sought to acquire 1095 of the vehicles, and the British Army sought 235.
In January 1999, the UK awarded SIKA International (a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems) and LANCER (a consortia led by GEC Marconi), each a $147 million contract for the 42 month-long advanced technology demonstration (ATD) phase of the project.
Cancelation
In a January 1999 report, an Office of the Secretary of Defense official called for a Defense Acquisition Board review of the FSCS program. The OSD official criticized the vehicle's proposed $3–5 million unit cost versus the $3.6 million M3A3 Bradley. The report said that while the Army mission need statement specified a lightly armored vehicle, the vehicle specified in the requirements was more like a "medium tank" comparable to the canceled M8 Armored Gun System.
In February, the U.S. Army began working with the UK to revise the requirements of the joint program to resolve the OSD's concerns. The new requirements, which went into effect in March, pacified the OSD. Many requirements were loosened at the OSD's request: for example, the new requirements clarified that the primary armament need not be an autocannon.
In October, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki laid out his vision for a lighter, more transportable armored force. The Army launched the Interim Armored Vehicle acquisition program, and began investing in "leap-ahead" technologies for Shinseki's "objective force" Future Combat Systems Manned Ground Vehicles program.
In order to help pay for the IAV, the U.S. Army decided to terminate FSCS. In December 1999 the Army said it would end its participation in the joint program after the completion of the advanced technology demonstration (ATD) phase. At the time, the UK was still very much committed to its participation in the project. Congress, believing that continued development of the program was unnecessary given the Army's disinterest, deleted funding for completing the ATD phase. The Pentagon persuaded Congress to restore funding in October 2000.
In October 2001, the U.S. and British Army mutually canceled the program. The U.S. hoped to leverage the technologies developed with FSCS in the Future Combat Systems program. The British were expected to do the same with the Future Rapid Effect System.
