Kay Uwe Bergmann (born 1960 or 1961; disappeared in Lebanon in January 1981, later pronounced dead) was a German right-wing terrorist and member of the right-wing terrorist Military-sports-group Hoffmann (WSG Hoffmann). He was tortured by his comrades in a military training camp on the orders of Karl-Heinz Hoffmann and disappeared there in 1981 without a trace. He was later pronounced dead without his body being found.
Life and death
Kay Uwe Bergmann came from Hamburg and joined the WSG Hoffmann as a young adult.
The WSG Hoffmann was banned in Germany in 1980 after the WGS member Uwe Behrendt had murdered the former official of the Nuremberg Jewish community Shlomo Levin and his partner Frieda Poeschke for anti-Semitic reasons.
Karl-Heinz Hoffmann then expanded his structures in the Middle East. He sold decommissioned Bundeswehr vehicles to Palestinian groups via Lebanon. He organized the training of WSG members in PLO training camps in Lebanon. Around 18 German right-wing extremists, including Kay Uwe Bergmann, were barracked in Bir Hassan, an El Fatah camp in southern Beirut. Hoffmann had delegated three supervisors who commanded the other WSG members in a "sadistic manner" (Der Spiegel).
Several WSG members tried to escape from the paramilitary training camp; among them Kay Uwe Bergmann. These WSG members were often mistreated. Hoffmann said in 1984 that two of the fugitives had received "the classic bastinado": painful blows to the soles of the feet with a stick. One of the fugitives was locked in a kennel, had to eat out of the bowl and bark. Hoffmann: "Again, I wasn't there" - he was not present at the abuse.
After his escape attempt, Hoffmann ordered Kay Uwe Bergmann to stop smoking. The first time Bergmann had to do 20 push-ups, the second time he had to hop with a backpack full of rocks. When Bergmann bummed a cigarette while on guard duty at night, the other WSG members tied him to a bed. The next day, Bergmann had to be taken to the hospital with a dislocated arm.
After his hospital stay, Bergmann visited the residence of the UNESCO program in Beirut. When he returned to the camp, he was beaten up by Hoffmann and had to give up his weapon. His head was cut bald, he was doused with hot fat and coffee water and had to eat several cans of sardines in oil. To do this, he was given olive oil.
According to WSG members, he was also tortured with a hot knife and lit cigarettes. A fuel cube was lit on his stomach. Uwe Behrendt is said to have abused other members of the WSG in the camps as the "chief torturer" (Der Spiegel) and played a major role in the torture of Kay Uwe Bergmann. When Bergmann was only whimpering under the torture, Karl-Heinz Hoffmann beat him barbarically.
Bergmann was “tortured further or murdered that same night” (die tageszeitung).
Trial
In 1986, a criminal trial was held against some of Bergmann's torturers. Since his body was not found, he was still considered "disappeared" at that time. Public prosecutor Gerd Breitinger demanded sentences of between four and a half and two and three quarter years because of the "inhuman and sadistic tortures". In December 1986, the 13th Criminal Chamber of the Nuremberg-Fuerth Regional Court convicted three WSG members involved in torturing Bergmann of dangerous bodily harm. According to the court, a conviction for grievous bodily harm was not possible, since Bergmann would have had to be injured that permanently and seriously disfigured his appearance. The reasoning was that since Bergmann's body was not found, it could not be proved that he died from the ordeal. Since Bergmann was still considered to have “disappeared”, the charge was not physical injury resulting in death.
Franz Joachim Bojarski (then 35) was sentenced to two years and nine months, Walter Ulrich Behle (then 27) to 15 months probation and Uwe Mainka (then 29) to 19 months probation. Mainka and Behle were released immediately after the trial.

Francesco Saverio Nitti Economic College is a high school with an economic profile in Timișoara, founded in 1895. It is named after Italian economist Francesco Saverio Nitti.
History
The first elementary school of commerce in Timișoara – Comercial Lehrkurs – was founded in 1838 by Franz Stirber and was a private school with German as the language of instruction and with a one-year study programme; Timișoara thus became the third city in the Habsburg Empire to have a commercial school, after Vienna and Budapest. In 1895, in place of the elementary school of commerce, a three-year higher school of commerce was established, which from the school year 1899–1900 will have Hungarian as the language of instruction. In 1900, this school will become the property of the City Hall.
In 1919, after the installation of the Romanian authorities in the local administration (instead of the Hungarian ones), on 14 December, the opening ceremony of the courses of the Higher School of Commerce took place, which had three sections – Romanian, German and Hungarian. By 1924–1925, the Higher School of Commerce remained with the Romanian and German sections, the students from the Hungarian section being gradually "absorbed" by confessional schools (or classes) with an economic-commercial profile in Timișoara, such as the Reformed, Roman Catholic or Israelite school. Over time, the high school has had various names: Prince Carol Commercial High School (1936–1944), Boys' Commercial High School (1937–1949) and Technical School of Administration, Economics and Finance (1951–1955). During this period, the courses were held in the current City Hall building.
Between 1955 and 1966, no high-profile economic school operated in Timișoara. In 1966, the Economic High School was re-established on the current site of the college. In 1987 the high school merged with the High School of Public Alimentation and the vocational school, which had functioned independently between 1972 and 1987, becoming the Economic School Group. In 1994, following a twinning agreement with the Istituto di Istruzione Superiore "Francesco Saverio Nitti" from Potenza, the Ministry of National Education approved that the Economic School Group from Timișoara be named after the Italian economist Francesco Saverio Nitti. Since 2000, the F.S. Nitti Economic School Group became the F.S. Nitti Economic College.

was a Japanese samurai retainer of the Hosokawa clan and student of kokugaku. Early surviving sources record the spelling of his surname in man'yō style as .
Biography
Little record has been preserved of Kagami's early life, but he is known to have been born in the vicinity of the Kumamoto Domain. At some point, he became a subordinate of the domainal vassal .
Before 1867, he entered into the tutelage of the kokugaku scholar Hayashi Ōen and became a devout disciple of Ōen's Shinto theology. Subjects of his studies included gagaku as well as kagura, and he is said to have excelled in the performance of traditional music.
Following Ōen's death in 1870, his followers reorganized into a secret society which they named the . Kagami was an early member of this organization. Angered by the new central government's reversal on its nativist promises in the aftermath of the Boshin War, the Keishintō formulated a plan to seize the local garrison at Kumamoto in preparation for a march on the capital while the majority of the government forces stationed there were occupied by the Saga Rebellion.
On the night of October 24, 1876, Kagami participated in the Keishintō's assault on Kumamoto Castle, and led the attack against the campsite of the regimental artillerymen. The uprising was repelled, and Kagami retreated with a small unit into the nearby mountains. Among the survivors, he was a particularly vocal advocate for a renewed offensive and suggested acquiring funds for escape and rearmament from his former master Mibuchi Eijirō. When this proved impossible due to a widespread police crackdown, Kagami joined several other survivors near the summit of Omigatake mountain, overlooking the castle, in preparation for seppuku. Thinking it a pity that the 26-year-old kaishakunin would be left to die alone, Kagami waited until the others had been decapitated and committed suicide alongside Tashiro.
His jisei was recovered from the site of his death, and was collected in a 1944 anthology by .

The 2012–13 season was Ulster's 19th season since the advent of professionalism in rugby union, and their first under head coach Mark Anscombe.
In 2012, Anscombe was named the new Ulster head coach, replacing Brian McLaughlin who failed to get his contract re-signed. Major signings included Nick Williams from the now defunct Aironi and Tommy Bowe returning from his four-year stay at the Ospreys. Ulster started the season with 13 consecutive wins in all competitions, the longest unbeaten run in their history. They finished top of the table with 17 wins, and after beating Welsh side Scarlets in the semi-finals 28–17, it was an-all Ireland final between Ulster and Leinster. Leinster were the eventual champions, defeating Anscombe's side 24–18. In Europe, Ulster was seeded fifth after the pool phase of the 2012–13 Heineken Cup, but they were defeated by Saracens in the quarters 27–16.
Ulster's second team, the Ulster Ravens, competed in the British and Irish Cup, finishing second in their pool.
Centre Nevin Spence died, along with his brother Graham and father Noel, in an accident at the family farm in Hillsborough, County Down on 15 September 2012. where they were overcome by fumes in a slurry tank. Spence's sister was treated in hospital and survived the accident. As a mark of respect for Spence, a minute's silence was observed at many rugby games in Britain and Ireland the following week. A memorial service was held at Ravenhill Stadium, the home ground of Ulster Rugby, on Sunday 23 September 2012.

Larkhall East railway station served the town of Larkhall, in the historical county of Lanarkshire, Scotland, from 1866 to 1951 on the Lesmahagow Railway.
History
The station was opened on 1 December 1866 by the Caledonian Railway. On the northbound line was the station building with a waiting room on the southbound line, to the east of the platforms was the goods yard and at the east end of the station was the signal box. 'East' was added to the stations name on 1 June 1905 when opened. The signal box closed in 1940 when the line was singled. It was known as Larkhall East Halt in the 1941 edition of the handbook of stations. The station closed on 10 September 1951, although it was still used in July 1960 by the Orange Order for their annual walks to commemorate the Battle of Boyne. The platforms and goods shed have been removed but parts of the loading bank still remain.

UEIT - Universal Electronic Test Chart (УЭИТ - Универсальная электронная испытательная таблица) is a Soviet test card, designed to test TVs operating in the analog SECAM colour standard.
UEIT was developed by N. G. Deryugin and V. A. Minaev at the NII Radio Scientific Research Institute as the successor to the black-and-white ТИТ-0249 test card with the informal name of "color prevention table" (TCP). With the golden jubilee year of the October Revolution in 1967, SECAM colour broadcasts debuted in both Moscow and Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) on their respective local TV channels.
Experimental broadcasts using the test pattern began from the Ostankino tower transmitter in 1970, with results being used to create a second version of the test pattern. This new version (UEIT-2), on air since 1971, was used on terrestrial broadcast and on point-to-point links throughout the Soviet Union.
The test card was used on Soviet television services: six national channels ("First Program", All Union Program, Moscow Program, Fourth Program, Fifth program and the Sixth Program) and regional stations. It was also used in some Soviet Republics like Latvia and Lithuania. It kept being used on post-Soviet times in some former Soviet republics.
The card was replaced by digital versions with the switch to digital broadcasting in Russia by late 2019.
Usage and Features
The Universal Electronic Test Chart allowed to adjust image geometry and picture settings such as brightness, contrast and color saturation. Other more technical adjustments were also possible, such as Cathode-ray tube focus and raster distortions.
The card features the following elements:
Grid box - makes up the background of the table. Allows adjustment of CRT convergence and easy reference for test card elements by "line" numbers (as indicated below);
Small circles - at lines 3, 4, 17, 18, they have the same function as the Gratings;
Center crosshair - in the center of the large circle, allows further convergence and image centering adjustments on CRTs;
Table border - fiducial marks for setting proper image geometry and overscan;
Circles - provide a way to correct vertical and horizontal raster scan distortions;
Color bars - two sets of bars (75% saturation at lines 6 to 7; 100% saturation at lines 14 to 15) to adjust color saturation;
Gray scale - a set of bars on line 8, that allow setting brightness, contrast, white balance and black level;
Contrasting color stripes - located at line 9, they allow checking of color transitions;
Slanted stripes- located at lines 10 to 11, they allow checking of interlace accuracy ;
Smooth color transition - at line 12, it allows to check the color linearity over the full colour spectrum, or a green to magenta transition;
Gratings - located at line 13, these help to assess resolution and image focus. They are formed by bursts of sinusoidal signals with frequencies of 2, 3, 4 and 5 MHz, corresponding to resolutions of 220, 330, 440 and 550 horizontal TV lines;
Black and white squares- alternating squares at line 16, to evaluate the frequency response of the video chain;

The 1843 Nias earthquake off the northern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia caused severe damage when it triggered a tsunami along the coastline. The earthquake with a moment magnitude () of 7.8 lasted nine minutes, collapsing many homes in Sumatra and Nias. It was assigned a maximum modified Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme).
Tectonic setting
The west coast of Sumatra is dominated by the Sunda megathrust; a 5,000 km long convergent boundary where the Australian Plate subducts beneath the Burma Plate and Sunda Plate at a rate of 60 mm/yr. Convergence along this plate boundary is highly oblique, severely deforming the overriding Sunda Plate, where it is accommodated by the strike-slip motion along the Great Sumatran fault. Dip-slip fault can rupture within the downgoing Australian Plate at deep depths as well; the 2009 magnitude 7.6 earthquake near Padang was caused by reverse faulting at a depth of 80 km. The subduction zone offshore Sumatra has been responsible for several large earthquakes in 2004 and 2005. Occasionally, the subduction ruptures in earthquake that reaches the trench, triggering large tsunamis such as in 1907, 2004 and 2010.
Impact
The earthquake's destructive effects were felt on Nias and Sumatra islands. Shaking was described as weak and oscillating, but quickly grew more intense. The extreme shaking was felt for up to nine minutes. It was so violent that standing or walking was impossible. Stone buildings and a fortress on a hill at Gunungsitoli on Nias Island were destroyed. Trees were uprooted and snapped. Cracks appeared in the ground and mud erupted from within. Liquefaction on Nias island caused some buildings to sink into the ground. Homes collapsed, killing many residents. Government offices and a Commandant's house were destroyed. Small landslides also occurred.
Shaking was also felt in Penang Island and Singapore. In Singapore, tremors were felt at half past midnight on January 6. Shaking was felt stronger on the hills, described as oscillating in an east–west direction. At Penang Island, shaking was felt in a north–south direction.
Aftershocks
Many aftershocks were felt until 04:30 local time. Earthquakes were felt every two minutes of each other. Another earthquake was felt on January 8 at 14:30.
Tsunami
The first tsunami waves were repoorted at 00:30 local time, causing extreme damage. Cattle and human residents were swept away by the waves. At the villages of Barus (on Sumatra) and Palan Nias (on Nias Island), large waves were reported over a period of two days. A large tsunami reportedly destroyed settlements on the east coast of Nias and Sumatra islands. The tsunami wiped out a large village located two kilometers from Gunungsitoli. Proas located on a nearby river were washed inland by up to 50 meters. Many people were killed by the tsunami and earthquake. Ships at Barus were dumped 600 meters inland due to the tsunami. Bodies of the tsunami victims were found on the shore after the tsunami.
A sea disturbance was observed in the Malacca Strait at the time of the earthquake, however, that was attributed to the weather.
Characteristic
Older estimates of the earthquake placed it at moment magnitude () 7.2 in a research article published in 2006 by the journal Science of Tsunami Hazards. In the book A catalogue of tsunamis on the western shore of the Pacific Ocean, the surface-wave magnitude was assigned 7.3. In 2013, the journal Geophysical Research Letters published a finding that re-estimated the moment magnitude to at least 7.8 based on information of the extent of tsunami inundation.
It is unclear where the source of the earthquake originated, but may have occurred on the interface of the Sunda megathrust or a shallow splay fault within the accretionary wedge on the overriding plate.
The events of 1843 is the earliest record of an earthquake on Nias Island. Subsequent earthquakes in 1861 and 1907 would also occur on the island. It resulted in some uplift and subsidence on the northwestern section of Nias Island as investigated by scientists using microatolls. The island was raised by 17 centimeters during the quake. Uplift of the island also occurred during the large earthquakes of 1861, 2005 and 2010.

Mathias Kindlinger (1892 – July 30, 1964), known as The Bluebeard of Schrems (German: Der Blaubart von Schrems), was an Austrian murderer and suspected serial killer who was convicted of killing his first and fifth wives in 1927 and 1961, respectively, but is alleged to have been responsible for the deaths of three other women as well. He was never charged in the other murders and was instead sentenced to life imprisonment for the final murder, dying behind bars in 1964.
Early life and first murder
Mathias Kindlinger was born in 1892. Little is known about his early life, but as an adult, he served in the Austro-Hungarian Army during the First World War. After the war ended, he found a job as a postal clerk, and due to his diligence and efficiency, Kindlinger would later be promoted to manager at the post office in Weiler. A married man with two children, he was considered a decent citizen and respected by the locals.
On July 7, 1927, however, his first wife, Viktoria, was found shot to death in the family's apartment and suspicions immediately fell on Kindlinger. He was immediately charged, convicted and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for her murder.
Release and new crimes
Kindlinger did not serve the entirety of his sentence, as he was paroled in 1934. Soon after his release, he started a romantic relationship with Maria Wegschneider, a florist from Linz. They lived together for two years until July 10, 1936, when Kindlinger called the police to inform them that his girlfriend had committed suicide. Upon arrival, authorities found that Wegschneider had apparently choked herself to death by tying a rope to a door handle. Due to the strange circumstances around her death, they suspected that Kindlinger could be responsible, but he convinced them that he was innocent and her death was written off as a suicide.
Not long after, he found himself another girlfriend, a rich 40-year-old named Anna Fleischer. The pair often went to trips around the French Riviera and had savings in roulettes in Monte Carlo. On February 2, 1938, Fleischer's body was found hanging from a stove knob at her house in Aschach an der Donau. Due to the similarities with the previous death, Kindlinger was again suspected. Fleischer's relatives even had her body exhumed, but an official autopsy again wrote off her death as a suicide.
The final unconfirmed death occurred on August 5, 1953, when Kindlinger's second wife, Friederike Radler, died from a suspected brain tumor. Due to her death, her husband inherited a large sum of money, leading the authorities to believe that he might be involved with her death somehow. However, no evidence indicated that this was the case, and Radler's death was written off as natural causes.
Murder of Margarete Mautner
Using the inheritance from his deceased wives, Kindlinger frequently posted marriage proposals in lonely hearts ads, where he presented himself as a "retired civil servant in need of love". One such advertisement attracted the attention of Margarete Mautner, owner of the first enamelling factory in the Waldviertel region, whom answered his proposal. The couple married in Schrems in 1955, and through his marriage with Mautner, Kindlinger became the factory's manager.
The marriage proved to be troubled, as Kindlinger continued to correspond with a variety of women from around the country, sending them love letters. At one point, it was also claimed that he had bragged about a molesting a teenage girl, but this was never conclusively proven. Tragedy struck on April 29, 1961, when Hans Verhunc, Mautner's brother, decided to visit the spouses at their home in Schrems, only to find both of them tied up their beds. Kindlinger appeared to be still alive, but his sister had evidently been strangled to death. In the subsequent police investigation, Kindlinger claimed that they had been robbed and in the process, the robbers had tied them to the bed, accidentally causing his wife to suffocate to death. This explanation proved inconsistent, as an analysis of the crime scene indicated that there had no apparent struggle and Margarete had been tied up willingly. Due to this, Kindlinger was arrested on charges of murder and remanded to the local prison to await trial.
Trial, sentence and death
On March 4, 1963, Kindlinger's murder trial began at the regional court in Krems an der Donau. Throughout the duration of the process, Kindlinger, using a dictation machine due to his advanced age, repeatedly claimed that he was innocent and his wife had died during a supposed robbery. This claim was supported by his defense attorney, Dr. Peter Stern, who pointed out that his client made no confession to the murder and that most of the prosecution's evidence is circumstantial at best.
On the other hand, prosecutors presented testimony from several medical professionals that concluded that the robbery scenario would be impossible, as they had examined Kindlinger and found no defensive wounds, indicating that he had been tied up by his own volition. This proved to be crucial to their case, as even Kindlinger's own defense attorney admitted that he could not give any other reasonable explanation in his client's defense. Due to this, coupled with hearsay regarding the deaths of Kindlinger's love interests and his supposed molestation of the teenage girl, he was found unanimously guilty by the jury. As a result, he was convicted of the murder and given a life term. Upon hearing the verdict, Kindlinger simply shrugged it off, and when asked if he accepted it, he replied that he would leave it to his defense attorney.
After his conviction, Kindlinger was transferred to the Stein Prison in Krems an der Donau. Not long after his conviction, he filed an appeal to have his sentence overturned, but it was rejected by the Supreme Court of Justice, which found upheld the decision of the lower courts. The following year, Kindlinger suffered a heart attack, for which he had to undergo medical treatment at a hospital in Krems an der Donau. While he survived, he suffered from another heart attack on July 30, 1964, which proved to be fatal this time.

It is a national nature reserve, and is in a Special Area of Conservation. Being part of Kielderhead and Emblehope Moors, it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Description
Whitelee Moor was bought by the Trust in 1999, with help from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Its area is .
There is blanket bog, heather moorland and grassland; also more than of new woodland. The River Rede and its tributaries provide diversity of habitat.
Visitors are advised to have hill-walking experience if attempting long walks, as it is a remote area and the weather can change quickly.
Blanket bog
This kind of terrain evolves over acidic bedrock where rainfall exceeds loss of water through evaporation and plant transpiration; the species of plants in this environment do not break down, and peat accumulates. The vegetation, having a barrier of peat below it, is fed only by rainwater, and the bog becomes low in nutrients. Blanket bog in the United Kingdom began to develop 5000 to 6000 years ago; it is in the west and north, and most of it is in Scotland.
The blanket bog has plants such as sphagnum moss, bog asphodel and cloudberry. Drainage channels, formerly dug across the bog, have been dammed to ensure that it remains wet.
Woodland and moorland
On the moorland, birds such as red grouse, peregrine falcon and hen harrier may be seen. Butterflies in summer include ringlet and small heath. A notable insect is the northern eggar moth.
The new woodland contains birch, rowan and willow; there is ash and oak in sheltered places.

Pelatantheria scolopendrifolia is a species of epiphytic or lithophytic orchid occurring in China, Japan and Korea. The plants closely adhere to the substrate and are creeping. The commonly branched, very slender stem bears distichously arranged, subcylindrical, leathery leaves. One to two widely opening flowers are produced on a short raceme, which is usually shorter than the leaves. The flowers are thinly textured and pale flesh-coloured. The labellum is spurred.
Ecology
This species if found in forests or shaded areas at 100 to 1000 m a.s.l. on rocks or tree trunks. Flowering occurs in April.
Conservation
This species is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES and thus is regarded as potentially endangered. It has suffered a substantial decline of its polulation and it is vulnerable to loss of genetic diversity and extinction. Asymbiotic seed propagation methods taylored to this species have been developed and may be a vital tool for conservation.

Al-As'ad ibn Muhadhdhab ibn Zakariyya ibn Kudama ibn Mina Sharaf al-Din Abu'l-Makarim ibn Sa'id ibn Abi'l-Malih ibn Mammati, better known simply by the family name Ibn Mammati, was an Egyptian official who served as head of the government departments under Saladin and his successor, al-Aziz Uthman, as well as being a noted poet and prolific writer.
Origin
Al-As'ad ibn Mammati hailed from a family of Coptic Christians from Asyut. He was born in 1149 in Egypt. His grandfather, Abu'l-Malih, entered the service of the then ruling Fatimid Caliphate and rose to become head secretary during the vizierate of Badr al-Jamali in the late 11th century. His father, Muhadhdhab, served as secretary of the army department () under the last Fatimid caliphs, and continued in office under Saladin (), until his death in 1182. Due to the anti-Christian policies imposed by Saladin's uncle, Shirkuh, Muhadhdhab and his family converted to Islam, as did a number of other Fatimid-era officials at the time, in order to preserve their positions. It is likely that this explains the family name 'Ibn Mammati', as the latter might be a corruption of the Coptic , 'Mohammedan'.
Life
Ibn Mammati succeeded his father as head of the , and later was promoted to the headship of all the s, holding that position under Saladin as well as his successor, al-Aziz Uthman (). He was a close friend and collaborator of Saladin's chief secretary, Qadi al-Fadil, but when the latter was replaced as vizier by Ibn Mammati's rival Safi al-Din Abdallah ibn Ali ibn Shukr, Ibn Mammati fell from favour. His property was confiscated, and he had to flee with his family to the court of al-Zahir, sultan of Aleppo. He died there in poverty on 29 November 1209, at the age of 62 Hijri years.
Works
Apart from his work as an administrator, Ibn Mammati is best known as a poet and writer. Qadi al-Fadil esteemed his eloquence and praised him as the "nightingale of councils". He is known to have written 23 works, but most have been lost. Chief among those were a biography of Saladin in verse, a verse version of the Kalīla wa-Dimna. Ibn Khallikan, in his famous biographical dictionary, reproduces some verses from a collection of his poetry, apparently compiled by Ibn Mammati's son. His most famous work today is the Kitāb Qawānīn al-Dawāwīn (), a four-volume guide to Egypt, its settlements, agricultural and irrigation systems, industries, taxation, mint, weights and measures, and a wealth of other information valuable to modern historians.
He is also the first author of a collection of satirical anecdotes known as , or 'Book on the Stupidity in the Judgements of Qaraqush', lampooning his political rival, Baha al-Din Qaraqush. Begun by Ibn Mammati, its stories circulated widely in Egypt, and were collected and rewritten by Abu'l-Fadl Abd al-Rahman al-Suyuti (1445–1505) and Abd al-Salam al-Malki (1564–1668), and proved so popular that in subsequent centuries, the memory of the historical Qaraqush was obliterated and his name became "a symbol of a lunatic tyrant".

Jonathan Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media described the song in his review as "a song that ticks all the right boxes. It has soaring harmonies and a great melodic hook. It has Darren's trademark Irish accent coming through in the song, as well as the song itself being one of triumphing over whatever comes our way." Andre however, noted that the song was not as catchy nor as memorable as "Everything Comes Alive" or "Maybe It's Ok". Jesus Freak Hideout's Joel Zaloum noted that "there's a certain conviction in Mulligan's voice and writing, as of someone who isn't just checking off boxes or using "Christianese," but one who's experienced God's forgiveness personally" which made the track "immensely powerful."

Ndella Paye Diouf (born c. 1974) is a militant French Afro-feminist and Muslim theologian who was born in Senegal. She has fought against the requirement for young Muslim women to wear the hijab in French schools but has above all sought full equality between the races and between men and women. She has been particularly intent on ensuring a successful future for her three daughters, giving them self-confidence through a good education and convincing them that black skin and afro hair are features of beauty.
Biography
Born in Senegal in c. 1974, Ndella Paye arrived in France in 1993 to join her father, Jacques Diouf, a diplomat. While in Paris, she graduated in Arabic and Muslim Theology, followed by a master's degree in Religious Sciences and Society at the École pratique des hautes études. She married a Frenchman from Senegal whom she met at her mosque. When they separated in 2016, Ndella allowed him to take care of their three daughters, causing considerable criticism. She herself moved to England where she has worked as an accountant.
She has developed her own views on religion, believing that the Quran and other faiths are incorrectly subjected to masculine interpretations. As a result, while strongly supporting Islam, she believes that men and women are equal.
Her feminist activism began in 2004 with preparations for a law prohibiting young women to wear the hijab in French schools. She created the Collectif des Féministes Pour l’Égalité (Feminist Collective for Equal Rights) but left it in 2012 after creating Mamans Toutes Égales (All Mothers Equal) in support of mothers unable to continue their education.
Inspired by Thomas Sankara and Angela Davis, her role model remains her mother, a nurse and a unionist, who fought for the pill despite her husband's objections.

Virgo Prudentissima is a six-voice motet (SSAATB), dedicated to the Virgin Mary and composed by Heinrich Isaac in 1507. The motel describes the Assumption of the Virgin, calling on Her and the Nine Orders of angels to protect Emperor Maximilian I and the Holy Roman Empire. The lyricist was Georg von Zlatkonia.
History
The motet was first composed by Isaac in 1507 while he was in Constance for the imperial Reichstag of that year, which was organized to prepare for the coronation (which would happen in 1508 in Trento) of Maximilian I, King of the Romans as Holy Roman Emperor. According to Franz Körndle, the motet was performed at the memorial services for Philip the Fair, son of Maximilian, some weeks after the Diet in Constance.
The motet was first published in 1520 in Ludwig Senfl's Liber selectarum cantionum. Later, around 1537–1538, Virgo prudentissima was rewritten by Hans Ott to be rededicated to Christ as Christus filius Dei (all Marian references were replaced) and Maximilian was replaced with his grandson Charles V, then the reigning emperor.
The lyrics is based on the antiphon that also serves as the model for Virgo Prudentissa'''s closely related mass Missa Virgo Prudentissima. Both were published in the Choralis Constantinus long after the deaths of Isaac and his pupil Senfl, together with the mass propers Isaac cultivated for Maximilian. Rothenberg opines that they are works, which remain incomplete, produced under the direction of Maximilian's “imperial idealogy” and “bold artistic vision”.
Structure
Having Guillaume Du Fay's Ave regina caelorum (1464) as the precedent, the motet is composed of two sections with a single cursus of the tenor. Influence might also have come from five-voice motets composed by Jehan le Roy, or Johannes Regis (circa 1425–96). Planchart notes, "Unlike Josquin in his Benedicta es caelorum regina, which involved an elaborate scaffolding of polyphonic textures and a canonic cantus firmus between the cantus and the tenor accompanied by four elaborately figural voices, Isaac aims for a sharp contrast, particularly in the prima pars between the rhythmically elaborate duets and the full six-voice sections. These full sections evoke the massive sonorities of his German Mass Ordinaries set in alternation with plainsong or organ. To achieve such effects, he sets the cantus firmus largely in perfect breves, following a German tradition observable, for example, in the prose settings of Trent 91. Further, in the passages for six voices, particularly in the prima pars, the bassus 2, which is quite active rhythmically in the duets, also shifts largely to motion in perfect breves".
Lyrics
The antiphon of the motet reads:
Virgo prudentissima, quo
progrederis quasi aurora valde
rutilans? Filia Syon tota formosa
et suavis es, pulchra ut luna
electa ut sol.
Most prudent Virgin, where are you
going glowing brightly as the dawn?
Daughter of Zion, you are wholly fair
and sweet, beautiful as the moon,
excellent as the sun.
The Latin text, as written by Zlatkonia, expanding on the antiphon, is as the following:
Prima pars
Virgo prudentissima, quae pia gaudia mundo
Attulit et sphaeras omnes transcendit et astra
Sub nitidis pedibus radiis et luce chorusca
Liquit et ordinibus iam circumsaepta novenis
Ter tribus atque ierarchiis excepta supremi
Ante Dei faciem steterat patrona reorum.
Dicite, qui colitis splendentia columina Olympi,
Spirituum proceres, Archangeli et Angeli et almae
Virtutesque throni, vos principum et agmina sancta,
Vosque potestates et tu dominatio coeli,
Flammantes Cherubin verbo Seraphinque creati,
An vos laetitiae tantus perfuderit umquam
Sensus ut aeterni matrem vidisse tonantis
Consessum, coelo terraque marique potentem
Reginam, cuius numen modo spiritus omnis
Et genus humanum merito veneratur, adorat?
Secunda pars
Vos, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, testamur, ad aures
Illius ut castas fundetis vota precesque
Pro sacro Imperio, pro Caesare Maximilano;
Det Virgo omnipotens hostes superare malignos;
Restituat populis pacem terrisque salutem.
Hoc tibi devota carmen Georgius arte
Ordinat Augusti cantor rectorque Capellae,
Sclatkonius praesul Petinensis, sedulus omni
Se in tua commendat studio pia gaudia, mater.
Praecipuum tamen est illi, quo assumpta fuisti,
Quo tu pulchra ut luna micas electa es et ut sol.
Cantus firmus:
Virgo prudentissima, quo progrederis, quasi aurora valde rutilans? Filia Sion.
Tota formosa et suavis es: pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol.
Translation by Choral Public Domain Library:
Prima pars
When the most wise Virgin, who brought holy joy to the world,
rose above all the spheres and left the stars
beneath her shining feet in gleaming, radiant light,
she was surrounded by the ninefold Ranks and received by the nine Hierarchies.
She, the friend of suppliants, stood before the face of the supreme God.
You who inhabit eternally the dazzling lights of Heaven
–– Archangels, leaders of the spirits, and Angels, and sustaining virtues,
and you thrones of princes, and you holy armies and you powers,
and you dominions of Heaven, and you fiery Cherubim,
and you Seraphim, created from the Word
– say whether such a feeling of joy has ever overwhelmed you
as when you saw the assembly of the Mother of the everlasting Almighty.
She is the queen, powerful in Heaven, on land and at sea;
every Spirit and every human being rightly praises and adores her divine majesty.
Secunda pars
You, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, we beg you
to pour out to her chaste ears our prayers and entreaties for the sacred Empire and for Maximilian the Emperor.
May the all-powerful Virgin grant that he may conquer his wicked enemies
and restore peace to the nations and safety to the lands.
With faithful skill Georgius, the emperor's Precentor and Kapellmeister, rehearses this anthem for you.
The Governor of the Province of Austria, diligent in all things,
earnestly commends himself to your holy pleasure, mother.
The highest place, however, belongs to Him by whom you were taken up,
so that you shine beautiful as the moon, excellent as the sun.
Cantus firmus:
Virgin most wise, where are you going, Daughter of Sion,
shining out as brightly as the dawn?
You are most comely and merciful, beautiful as the moon, excellent as the sun.
Commentaries
The conductor Peter Philips notes that, "Further illustration of this is provided by the two ceremonial motets which frame the remaining pieces on this recording. Optime pastor and Virgo prudentissima have a grandeur that no other Renaissance composer could rival. The spaciousness is achieved partly by the wide overall scoring of the voices, and partly by Isaac's habit of holding the chant parts back for special moments, rather as Handel later rationed the use of the trumpets and timpani in his 'coronation' anthems. When the chant or chants enter (always in the middle two of the six voice parts), they do so with such solemnity that all the surrounding activity is quietened; and when they cease, the four outer voices immediately readopt faster-moving music. By alternating these two textures Isaac could build up to the final statements of the chant with an irresistible momentum."
Rothenberg opines that the motet affiliates the reigns of two sovereign monarches – the Virgin Mary of Heaven and Maximilian of the Holy Roman Empire. The motet describes the Assumption of the Virgin, in which Mary, described as the most prudent Virgin (allusion to Parable of the Ten Virgins), "beautiful as the moon", "excellent as the sun" and "glowing brightly as the dawn", was crowned as Queen of Heaven and united with Christ, her bridegroom and son, at the highest place in Heaven. Rothenberg notes that, "In Isaac’s compositions Mary becomes the figurative mother who crowns Maximilian, just as King Solomon's mother had crowned him." The antiphon and the motet evoke the Song of songs 3:11: "Egredimini et videte filiae Sion regem Salomonem in diademate quo coronavit eum mater sua in die disponsionis illius et in die laetitiae cordis eius" ("Go forth, ye daughters of Sion, and see King Solomon in the diadem, where with his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the joy of his heart.")
Rothenberg notes that, in the painting Feast of the Rosary by Albrecht Dürer (considered by him to be a “direct visual counterpart” to the motet Virgo prudentissima, mentioned below), "The most prudent Virgin thus crowns the Wise King with a rose garland at the very moment when she herself is about to be crowned Queen of Heaven." Bubenik agrees with Rothenberg's assessment and points out that in the painting one can also see a lute.
Other than Dürer's Feast of the Rosary, Rothenberg opines that the idea of the motet is also reflected in the scene of the Assumption seen in the Berlin Book of hours of Mary of Burgundy and Maximilian.
Planchart notes that Virgo Prudentissima is "one of the composer’s most complex and extended works. It is also a self-consciously constructivist piece that looks back to the repertoire of tenor motets pioneered by Guillaume Du Fay, Jehan de Ockeghem, and most prominently by Iohannes Regis" and "an extraordinarily impressive work with a seemingly inexhaustible amount of invention." The motet makes use of "an interplay of two basic textures and two kinds of motivic construction that are exposed in the first few sections of each pars and then fused in the concluding section, and to a judicious choice of which phrases of the cantus firmus—an antiphon for Vespers of the Assumption—he chooses to paraphrase in the free voices". Planchart also criticizes modern performances for ignoring the motet's mensural structure.
Charles Edward Trinkaus and Heiko Augustinus Oberman comment that, "Virgo prudentissima is one of the noblest compositions of its type written during the early Renaissance and it is the epitome of the paraliturgical motet."
The book "Boston Early Music Festival & Exhibition" notes that the motet is "monumental and unmistakably imperial in effect" while the work O Maria, mater Christi (by the same composer) feels intimate and personal.

Gloob (Portuguese pronunciation: "Glubi") is a Brazilian pay TV channel that was launched on 15 June 2012, aimed at children 6 to 12 years old. It belongs to Globo, a Grupo Globo company that, in 2020, unified TV Globo, Globo.com, Gestão Corporativa and Globosat (now called Canals Globo).
Its name is an anagram of the word Globo, reversing the letter "O" before the "B".
History
Background
In late 1995, it was announced that Globosat would be making deals with News Corporation to develop domestic versions of U.S. channels to the country. Among them were ESPN International, Fox News Channel and Fox Kids. The premiere date of the children's channel was scheduled for June 1996, but only USA Network, the company's movie channel, was launched with Fox Kids being launched in November by Fox itself.
In June 2012, due to an audience considered low for children's programs on broadcast TV, Globo announced it would stop broadcasting its children's strand, TV Globinho, during the week to focus on a female audience with a new block, Encontro. To retain this audience, Globo launched a full-time pay TV channel, which would be more lucrative than its predecessor.
The channel had been scheduled to be launched on 1 June 2012, but this was postponed two weeks to 15 June 2012. It appeared at launch on NET, Claro TV, Vivo TV, CTBC TV, Oi TV, GVT TV and Sky. On Sky, it was initially offered only in HD until December 2012.
In 2017, a separate channel for the preschool audience, , was launched.

The 73 is a bus route that operates between Bristol Temple Meads railway station and Cribbs Causeway.
History
The former 74 bus route was merged with the 73 from 1 September 2013. The frequency of the combined route was a bus every 10 minutes during weekdays, every 15 minutes on Saturdays, and every 30 minutes on evenings and Sundays.
From 31 August 2014, the service frequency was reduced from 10 minutes to 12 minutes. From 4 September 2016, the peak service frequency was reduced from 12 minutes to 15 minutes and the route was extended to Temple Meads railway station.
In anticipation of a predicted drop in passenger numbers due to the introduction of MetroBus route M1 in January 2019, the route saw its frequency reduced to every 20 minutes.
In July 2020, three biomethane buses were introduced on the route.
In January 2021, Monday-Friday services between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway railway station were withdrawn, resulting in a reduced frequency of 30 minutes in this section.

Hugh MacDonald (1817 1860) was a Scottish journalist, poet and author from Glasgow. He wrote for the newspaper the Glasgow Citizen for many years under the pen name 'Caleb'. He is best known for his book Rambles Round Glasgow, published in 1854 by Thomas Murray and Son.
Life
MacDonald was born on Rumford Street in Bridgeton, Glasgow on 4 April 1817. He was one of 11 children. His parents had moved from the Highlands to find work in the Glasgow textile industry, and MacDonald's father worked as a dyer in the Monteith and Company works in the Barrowland area. MacDonald started work as a 'tearer' (junior assistant) at the same factory at the age of seven. He was apprenticed to a block printer at the Barrowfield calico-printing works and briefly ran a grocer's shop. When the shop failed, he worked as a block printer for Harrow, McIntyre and Co. of Colinslie, Paisley. He continued to live in Bridgeton and walked to Paisley for work each day.
MacDonald was a member of the City Club, a literary and artistic gathering which met in the Bank Tavern in Glasgow, and was a founder member of the Ramblers Association.
After around 1840 MacDonald moved into writing. He was a supporter of the Chartist movement and initially wrote poetry and articles for Chartist publications such as the Chartist Circular. In 1847 he came to public attention when he wrote a letter to the Glasgow Citizen defending the poetry of Robert Burns against an attack by Rev. George Gilfillan of Dundee. MacDonald was a great enthusiast for Burns and quoted him extensively in his writing.
James Hedderwick, who was editor of the Glasgow Citizen, then invited him to write for the paper. MacDonald joined the staff of the paper in 1849. He wrote articles under the pen name Caleb, many of them of on social or political issues, but it was his series of Glasgow travelogues, published over a period of three years, for which he became well known. These 'rambles' in the countryside around Glasgow were collected into a book, Rambles Round Glasgow, in 1854, which MacDonald dedicated to Hedderwick. The book was very popular and went through several editions. MacDonald followed it up in 1857 with Days at the Coast, a travelogue of locations on the Firth of Clyde, which was also well received.
MacDonald became sub-editor of the Glasgow Citizen. He later went on to write for the Glasgow Morning Journal and the Glasgow Sentinel , and edited the Glasgow Times.
MacDonald married twice. His first wife, Agnes, died within a year of their marriage. His second wife, Alison, had been a bridesmaid at Agnes and Hugh's MacDonald's wedding. Agnes had no children but Alison had one son and four daughters with Hugh MacDonald.
MacDonald became ill in spring 1860 after an expedition to Castlemilk to research his planned book, Footsteps of the Year. He died on 16th March 1860 at the age of 42 and is buried in the Southern Necropolis. He was survived by his wife Alison and their five children.

Memorials
There is a memorial fountain for MacDonald on Glasgow Green, the location of his first 'ramble'. This originally stood on Gleniffer Braes, Paisley, but was moved to Glasgow Green in 1881. The fountain was designed by John Mossman and paid for by the Glasgow Ramblers Club.
A memorial water stoop stands on Gleniffer Braes, Paisley, the location of another 'ramble'. It was erected in 1883 by the Paisley Old Weavers Society.
One of the entrances to Glasgow Green is known as 'Hugh MacDonald's Gate'. It is situated at the corner of King's Drive and Arcadia Street. A paving slab at that gate commemorates his book Rambles Round Glasgow.

The Amuay tragedy was an explosion of the Paraguaná Refinery Complex in Punto Fijo, Venezuela. The explosion resulted in the death of 48 people and injured 151 others.
Explosion
On 25 August 2012 at 01:11 (05:41 GMT), an explosion caused by the ignition of a leaking gas at the Amuay refinery killed 48 people, primarily National Guard troops stationed at the plant, and injured 151 others. A 10-year-old boy was among the dead.
In addition to the refinery, more than 1,600 homes were damaged by the shockwave.
Reactions
Three days of national mourning was declared by President Hugo Chávez. He also ordered a probe into the cause of the fire. Chávez said he was creating a US$23 million fund for clean-up operations and a replacement of destroyed homes. He said that "60 new homes were ready for affected families to move into, 60 more would be finished soon, and a further 137 houses would be handed over next month." He also rejected claims that PDVSA might be responsible for the disaster. The first were extinguished by 28 August 2012.
Venezuelan presidential candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski criticized PDVSA management for their poor safety record and forwarded lack of maintenance as a cause of the accident. President Chávez, who claimed that it was too early to identify the cause, as well as minister Ramírez, said that Capriles did not "know what he's talking about". Iván Freites, the Secretary-General of the United Federation of Oil Workers, held the government responsible "lack of maintenance and investment" in the industry, considering it the main cause of the explosion. Freites denounced that since 2011, the union of oil workers had complained about problems with "damaged equipment, lack of spare parts and other unsafe conditions".

Grethe Fenger Møller (born 6 November 1941) is a Danish Conservative People's Party politician and lawyer who was elected to the Folketing as a representative of the constituency from 1977 to 1994 and was the Minister of Labour in the first government of Poul Schlüter between 1982 and 1986. She was president of the Danish Women's Society from 1974 to 1981 after previously being on its executive committee and primary board. Møller left politics after being sentenced to probation for 60 days for providing false testimony in court about the Tamil Case and worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Social Affairs' international office until she retired in 2008.
Early life
Møller was born in Frederiksberg, Denmark on 6 November 1941. She is the daughter of the department manager Torben Fenger Møller and his wife Ebba Møller. Møller was brought up in Frederiksberg; her parents were divorced when she was two years old and she lived with her mother and grandfather, who was the owner of a women's clothing store and was active politically. Her role model was the lawyer and politician . In 1961, she attended and then relocated to the United States and enrolled at Hamline University in Minnesota for a year. Møller studied law at the University of Copenhagen from 1962 to 1969 and earned a Candidate of Law degree. During her studies, she joined the newly founded, anti-housewife, pro-abortion youth group of the Danish Women's Society (DWS) and was its deputy chair between 1965 and 1967.
Career
Her mother gave her the inspiration to get involved in women's politics and her grandfather for party politics. In 1967, Møller gained election to the DWS' executive committee and primary board, and partook in activities for the Council for International Development Cooperation from that year until 1976. Two years later, she was employed as a secretary at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. Møller became a member of The Conservative People's Party in 1970, and was made a member of the executive committee of the Committee for Accession to the Community in 1971. She became the DWS' national president in 1974 and that same year was elected to Frederiksberg Municipal Council. In 1975, Møller became part of the Conservative People's Party's main board, and was seconded by the Ministry of Social Affairs to the Office of the Prime Minister as head of the Secretariat for the Year of Women in the same year.
At the DWS, she had a gender equality policy of allowing men to have equal paternity leave and positive action for working women in the labour market and the education sector with the goal of better women's place in the labour industry. Membership of the DWS continued to decrease under Møller's presidency because of a large division between its home-working and away-working members and the Red Shirt movement's popularity among younger females. She continued to be the DWS president until 1981. Møller worked at the Secretariat of the Gender Equality Council between 1976 and 1979. From 1976 to 1977, she was a deputy member of the board of the Danish International Development Agency Information Committee and was a member of the Sparekassen SDS 'Board of Representatives until 1982 and was on the SDS' regional board for the Copenhagen-Zealand region between 1981 and 1982.
At the 1977 Danish general election held on 15 February of that year, Møller was elected to the Folketing for the first time as a representative of the constituency for The Conservative People's Party. She worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs between 1979 and 1982, was chair of the State Wages Council in 1982, and served as a councillor on Frederiksberg Municipal Council from 1981 to 1982. When Poul Schlüter established his first government in 1982, he appointed Møller as the Minister of Labour on 10 September 1982, which came as a surprise to many. This made her the first women to be made Minister of Labor in Denmark. While Minister of Labour, Møller attempted to locate savings and contribute to Denmark's recovery. She brought in cost-of-living regulation and savings on supplementary unemployment benefits. This caused a series of Danish-wide demonstrations and strikes that transgressed a collective agreement, beginning in October 1982 and ending in February 1983. Møller received criticism from several factions and she was sacked on 12 March 1986.
She was appointed the parliamentary group's political spokesperson for a year after that. Møller served as chair of the Ligestillingsrådet from 1987 to 1993. She was a member of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly starting in 1986. From 1987 to 1988, Møller was chair of the Parliamentary Health Committee and of the Parliamentary Legal Committee between 1988 and 1991. She got involved in the investigation of the Tamil Case in 1988 as chair of the . This led to Møller being unanimously convinced of providing false testimony in court for her role during a tax case in the Tamil Case in the Investigative Court and she received a sentence of probation for 60 days in 1994. She consequently lost her seat in the Folketing on 20 September 1994 and her other political positions. Møller then worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Social Affairs' international office until she retired in 2008.

She is a member of the Church of Denmark and attends church.

The Badweyn burial ground is a former Darawiish border crossing and is the resting ground of Si'iid Harti, nicknamed Dhulbahante, the ancestor and progenitor of the Dhulbahante tribe , historically the largest northern Somali clan. It is situated at Badweyn, which is the western boundary of the Dervish chieftainship-sultanate, and lies at the head of the Nugaal Valley.
Burial site
According to John Anthony Hunt, the burial ground of Dhulbahante is Badweyn and his descendants, the Dhulbahante clan, are the owners of the Nugaal plateau and Nugaal valley:
According to Eric J. Swayne, the inhabitants of Dhulbahante progenitors burial site at Badweyn are traditionally the Ararsame subclan of Dhulbahante:
Badwein border / Badwein line & 46th meridian
Lands in Somalia situated between contending maamul goboleeds (Somali federal states), or its people, have been referred to by academics such as Benedikt Korf as borderlanders who applies to them dissenting qualities, such as a territory with another another looming polity intermittently forming, or oscillatorily, with a lassitudinal passivity towards geopolitics, and as such, are subject to a territorial, unionist and separatist dispute.
During the middle colonial era, the term borderlander referred to neutral zones situated between the Darawiish in the east and British colonized or Rayid areas to the west, roughly congruous with the eastern half of modern El-Afweyn district or Karman plateau. The boundaries of the borderlander neutral zone was from Ankhor, (in Somali Conkor) at the coast, Eil Dur Elan (in Somali Dhur Cilaan) down the mount slope, Badwein at the open plains, and the 46th degree of longitude towards the Abyssinian border in the west, and the blockhouses surrounding the Dhulbahante garesa of Jidali, and the Nugaal to the east:
It was our object to confine them to this area and to afford protection to our friendly tribes behind a line drawn roughly from Ankhor on the sea coast through Eil Dur Elan to Badwein at the eastern extremity of the Ain Valley, and thence south-west to the southern border at a point where it is intersected by the 46th degree of longitude
People and clans which lived in the neutral or borderlander areas, were immune to attacks from both British colonists and Darawiish, since they shared neither identity. That the borderlander and neutral peoples of the Karman were inviolable from raids or harassment from both colonial forces and the anti-colonial Darawiish chieftainship-sultanate is concurred with by former resident colonial administrator Douglas Jardine:
From this place, the chief grazing grounds of the tribes were at his mercy. It was an excellent base from which to carry out raids in any direction. Many of the tribesmen, loath to leave such luxuriant pastures, had remained in close proximity to the Dervish post; and their immunity from attack had shown that some sort of understanding existed between them and the Dervishes with whom they had exchanged visits and presents.
Douglas Jardine described the boundary between colonial-signatory tribes and non-signatory tribes, and separated those of intra-46th meridian east territories as a distinct entity:
An imaginary line was drawn roughly from Ankhor on the sea-coast through Eil Dur Elan to Badwein at the eastern extremity of the Ain Valley, and thence south-west to the southern border at a point where it is intersected by the 46th degree of longitude. It was our object to confine Dervish activities to their side of this line and to afford protection to the friendly tribes on our side.
People resident within the intra-46th meridian east line included both non-Dervish (i.e. non-Darawiish) neutrals and Dervishes. The fact that these non-aligner nomads within intra-46th meridian territory were amiable to both the colonial British and Dervish side side suggests they were non-aligned nomads.
Ongoing counter claims
The territory of intra-46th meridian east is subject continuing counter claims including by HBM-SSC, Puntland, Somaliland, Khatumo, Maakhir and others.

Souvenir Souvenir is an animated documentary short film directed by Bastien Dubois and produced by Amiel Tenenbaum, Simon Pénochet and Bastien Dubois. The short has been awarded in a number of festivals including in Clermont-Ferrand Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, Short Film Award and Sundance Film Festival and won an Annie Award in Best Short Subject category in 2021. It has been shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
Production
This animated documentary is based on true facts about the Algerian war, intertwined with the director's family life and most of the voices are narrated by the characters themselves. The use of layers and superpositions by paint, blurry and grainy textures by the illustrator Jorge Gonzales match the layers of secrecy of the narrative. The film has two styles: a cartoony 2D animation, made by Train-Train studio and 3D models that mimic 2D hand-drawing and textures. Details were also added by hand-dray and TV paint.
Plot
For ten years, a filmmaker attempts to make a movie out of his grandfather's Algerian war souvenirs. Both a historical denial and family taboo, the questions raised by the topic fail be answered, and both personal and collective memory are left unsaid. The narrative shifts from the incapacity to speak to the ability to ask the right question, and less about the grandfather experience and more about the making of a film.
Accolades
Since its launch, the film has been selected in various festivals and academies around the world:

Amina Agueznay (born 1963 in Casablanca, Morrocco) is a Moroccan visual artist and trained architect, known for her contemporary artworks. Her work has included jewellery designs and art installations, incorporating elements of Moroccan cultural heritage as well as materials such as textile buttons, paper, rose petals or burned plastic bags. In several exhibitions, she has created site-specific artistic installations.
Apart from her participation in art and fashion shows in Morocco and Europe, her work has been featured in art catalogues, magazines and in the British newspaper Financial Times. Further, her creations have been documented by Moroccan photographer Leila Alaoui.
Biography
Agueznay is the daughter of Moroccan painter and engraver Malika Agueznay, an alumna of the School of Fine Arts of Casablanca, with whom she sometimes has created artworks, for example the site-specific exhibition Metamorphosis at the Attijariwafa Bank Foundation in Rabat 2018. Having graduated from secondary school in Casablanca, she studied in the US and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from the Catholic University of America, Washington DC, in 1989. After fifteen years in the US and having worked there as an architect, she returned to Morocco in 1997 and has since been living and working in Marrakesh.
Artistic career
Following a first training in jewellery design in the US, she developed this type of artistic creation in contemporary style after her return to Casablanca, using traditional Moroccan jewellery and locally-sourced materials. In workshops for handicrafts that she taught for government agencies, she also worked with craftspeople active as weavers, woodworkers, leatherworkers, basketry weavers and other crafts. This experience became another part of her artistic influences.
During the "Year of Morocco" cultural events in France in 1999, she presented her first collection of personal jewellery, made of historical silver pieces of the Berber tradition with her own additions. One example is a silver disk with a traditional spiral pattern on one side and Agueznay's contemporary addition on the other side. The next year, she created another collection, with variations of hand-made textile buttons ('aqad), commonly used for traditional caftans.
In her first collection for the annual Kaftan fashion show in Morocco in 2003, she turned to materials such as rose petals, pieces of wood and cinnamon sticks and presented her jewellery together with fashion designer Noureddine Amir. For the 10th edition of the Kaftan event in 2006, she made another collection entirely out of paper, inspired by her earlier work as an architect. In 2010, she was one of the laureates of the Maison méditerranéenne des métiers de la mode (MMMM) (Mediterranean Institute for Fashion) in Marseille, and was awarded the Open My Med Prize. The same year, she created an hommage to the French-Tunisian fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa in the shape of a large collier necklace of red and black strings and metallic elements.
As an artistic statement on environmental pollution, her 2012 collection was made out of burned plastic bags. According to M. Angela Jansen, she has often been misunderstood in Moroccan society for her unconventional ideas, and even accused of not being Moroccan. To such criticism, she has replied: "I could say for example that the red stones remind me of Marrakesh and the white ones of Casablanca. But even if so, it is an unconscious process and should not be used to justify the Moroccanness on my work."
Her participation at the 2019 Biennale of Contemporary Art at the Muhammad VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rabat was called Embody the Visible: Act the Invisible, in two acts. Tale of the unseen, of wool and silence. and constisted of abstract structures of wool with embedded jewellery.

William Taylor Stores is a historic building in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, the addresses of some of the properties are West Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while others solely utilize the former King Cotton warehouses on River Street. As of February 2022, these are the Chart House Seafood in the eastern section (completed in 1806), while Modern Travel Network and American Gift Shop occupy the western section (completed in 1818). It is the oldest surviving structure on today's River Street, the oldest ballast-stone cotton warehouse in the country, and stated by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) as being significant as an "early example of a multi-storied river embankment storage warehouse".
The eastern section, today's 202 and 204, was formerly Southern Marine Supply Company Incorporated, while the western section, now 206, was known as the Taylor House at the time of its construction.
The buildings were partially destroyed by fire in 1885 and rebuilt the same year.
William Taylor
William Taylor (1769–1840), a merchant and slave owner, was a Scottish emigrant who initially moved to South Carolina. He married Mary Elizabeth Clayton Miller in Stateburg, South Carolina, in 1799. Taylor was a partner with both his brother-in-law and Andrew Low for a period. He was president of the Saint Andrew's Society, an organization that assisted Scottish immigrants to the United States. Upon Taylor's death in 1840, one of the executors of his will was William Washington, the father of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low.
The Taylors had several children, although only two survived: Alexander Miller Taylor (1800–1829) and Elizabeth Ann Taylor Goodwin (1802–1882). Elizabeth survived her husband by six years (died in 1846).

The Burmese–Siamese War (1774–1775) or the Siamese Expedition to Chiangmai was a military conflict between the Konbaung dynasty of Burma (now Myanmar) and the Thonburi Kingdom of Siam (now Thailand).
After about two hundred years of Lanna kingdom under Burmese rule, the Siamese armies under King Taksin of Thonburi led an expedition to the northern city of Chiangmai. The Siamese managed to take Burmese-held Chiangmai in January 1775 and began the transfer of Lanna from Burmese rule to Siamese domination.
Background
Lanna under Burmese rule
After the Burmese king Bayinnaung of the Toungoo dynasty conquered Chiangmai in 1558, Lanna Kingdom or modern Northern Thailand had been under Burmese rule for about 200 years. In 1723, Inthasom usurped the throne from King Ong Kham of Lao Luang Phrabang Kingdom. Ong Kham, the Lao prince who was of Tai Lue origin, sought political refuge in Chiangmai where he became a Buddhist monk. In 1727, a native Lanna man named Thepsing arose against the Burmese rule and killed the Burmese governor of Chiangmai. The Burmese in Chiangmai sought leadership from Ong Kham who had been a monk. Ong Kham led the Burmese to successfully oust Thepsing from Chiangmai. However, the Burmese refused to accept Ong Kham as king so Ong Kham turned against the Burmese and expelled their attacks. Ong Kham, the Tai Lue prince from Luang Phrabang, declared himself King of Chiangmai in 1727 as an independent sovereign.
In the early eighteenth century, the weakening influence of the Burmese Toungoo dynasty allowed Lanna to exert its independence. However, Lanna fragmented into distinct city-states of Chiangmai, Lampang, Lamphun, Phrae and Nan, each with its own independent rulers. Ong Kham ruled Chiangmai peacefully for thirty-two years until his death in 1759 and was succeeded by his son Ong Chan. However, Ong Chan was deposed by his younger brother who gave the throne to another Buddhist monk in 1761. In 1762, King Naungdawgyi of Burmese Konbaung dynasty sent his general Abaya Kamani to lead the army of 7,000 men to invade Chiangmai. The Burmese laid siege on Chiangmai for seven months until Chiangmai fell to the Burmese in August 1763. The former king Ong Chan and nearly the whole populace of Chiangmai were deported to Burma. King Hsinbyushin appointed Abaya Kamani as the Burmese governor of Chiangmai. Therefore, Chiangmai came under Burmese rule again. The Burmese then used Lanna as the base to invade Ayutthaya from the north, leading to the Fall of Ayutthaya in 1767.
An animal hunter named Thipchang was declared as the local ruler of Lampang in 1732 with the title of Phaya Sulawaluechai. Thipchang ruled Lampang until his demise in 1759. Another pretender took the city of Lampang, prompting Thipchang's son Saikeaw to seek support from the Burmese court of Ava. The Burmese took Lampang in 1764 and installed Saikaew as the ruler of Lampang under Burmese suzerainty. Abaya Kamani the Burmese governor of Chiangmai died in 1769. He was succeeded by Thado Mindin (, known in Thai sources as Po Myowun , ) as Burmese governor of Chiangmai. Thado Mindin pursued assimilation policies on Lanna and reduced the power of local native Lanna nobles. Thado Mindin held Saikaew as political hostage in Chiangmai, leaving Saikaew's son Kawila to oversee the affairs in Lampang on behalf of his father.
Siamese Expedition to Chiangmai (1771)
King Taksin defeated the last rival regime of Sawangkhaburi in 1770 and gained control of Hua Mueang Nuea or Northern Siam. In 1771, Thado Mindin marched Burmese forces from Chiangmai to attack and lay siege on Sawankhalok. Chaophraya Phichairacha the governor of Sawankhalok, Chaophraya Surasi the governor of Phitsanulok and Phraya Phichai the governor of Phichai defeated the Burmese at Sawankhalok as Thado Mindin retreated.
In retaliation, King Taksin initiated his expedition to attack the Burmese-held Chiangmai in March 1771. He assembled his armies of 15,000 men at Phichai, where Mangchai the ruler of Phrae submitted. Taksin sent Chaophraya Surasi ahead as vanguard with himself marched through Sawankhalok, Thoen and Li to reach Lamphun. Thado Mindin relinquished the earthen outer wall of Chiangmai and took defensive position on the inner wall. Surasi and the Siamese took position on the outer wall. The Siamese attacked Chiangmai but were unable to take the city. King Taksin then listened to a prophecy that any Siamese monarch who wished to take Chiangmai would fail on first attempt and succeed on second attempt. After the nine-day siege, Taksin commanded his troops to retreat and ended the campaign.
However, upon seeing the Siamese retreat, Thado Mindin ordered the Burmese troops to counter-attack. The Burmese attacked the Siamese rearguard so heavily that it dissipated and the Burmese reached the main royal army. King Taksin himself took up arms and personally fought the Burmese with his sword. Taksin recovered the morale of Siamese armies as they managed to defeat and repel the pursuing Burmese.
Conflict between Thado Mindin and Phaya Chaban
Thado Mindin the Burmese governor of Chiangmai sought to reduce the power of local Lanna nobility. In 1770, he ordered that all Lanna men should tattoo their thighs and all Lanna women should pierce their ears in accordance with Burmese customs. Phaya Chaban (, personal name Boonma), Kawila and other Chiangmai nobles petitioned to King Hsinbyushin that Thado Mindin had abused his powers. Hsinbyushin ruled that the traditional rights and powers of native Lanna nobles should be respected. However, Thado Mindin refused to accept the Burmese king's ruling and sent his force to arrest Phaya Chaban. Phaya Chaban also fought with his own army, resulting in a civil war in Chiangmai in November 1771. Thado Mindin prevailed with numerical superior forces. Phaya Chaban fled Chiangmai and sought refuge with Nemyo Thihapate the Burmese general at Luang Phrabang.
In 1773, King Ong Bun of Vientiane, who was then a vassal of Burma, informed King Hsinbyushin that, despite the Fall of Ayutthaya and the total destruction of the Siamese Kingdom in 1767, Siam had recovered and consolidated under the leadership of Phraya Tak or King Taksin. Hsinbyushin ordered Nemyo Thihapate to gather troops at Chiangmai to invade the Thonburi Kingdom from the north. Nemyo Thihapate was responsible for Burmese military activities in Lanna and was not on good terms with Thado Mindin. Thado Mindin requested Nemyo Thihapate to hand over Phaya Chaban but Nemyo Thihapate refused.
Burmese attacks on Phichai
As Nemyo Thihapate finished his campaigns in Luang Phrabang in 1772, he sent an army to attack the northern Siamese border town of Phichai. Phraya Phichai defended his city and Chaophraya Surasi repelled the Burmese invaders. The Burmese attacked Phichai again in 1773, personally led by Nemyo Thihapate. Surasi and Phichai confronted the Burmese to the north of the town of Phichai in January 1774. Phraya Phichai took up his swords in two hands and fought the Burmese. His swords broke in battle, earning him the epithet Phraya Phichai Dap Hak () or Phraya Phichai of the Broken Sword.
Mon Rebellion of 1774
In 1774, King Hsinbyushin of Burma ordered Mingyi Kamani Sanda the governor of Martaban to organize armies to invade Siam from the west through the Three Pagodas Pass. Mingyi Kamani Sanda commanded the Mon regiment under Binnya Sein to lead the vanguard into Siam first. However, as the Mon leaders had left Martaban, Mingyi Kamani Sanda forcibly extorted money from the Mon families of Martaban to raise money for the campaigns. Binnya Sein and other Mon leaders, upon learning of Burmese mistreatments of their families back in Martaban, rebelled against the Burmese and returned to take Martaban. Binnya Sein marched his Mon armies to take Yangon but was repelled by the Burmese. The Mon insurrection was defeated and Binnya Sein took refuge in Siam. This incident led to mass migration of Mon people from Martaban into Siam through the Mae Lamao and Three Pagodas Passes.
Siamese Expedition to Chiangmai (1774-1775)
King Taksin of Thonburi decided to renew an expedition to Chiangmai in 1774 due to the fact that the Burmese of Northern Lanna had harassed several Siamese border towns including Phichai and Sawankhalok. Thonburi court also heard of Hsinbyushin's grand plan to invade Siam from both northern and western directions. Taksin then conducted the pre-emptive strike on the Burmese at Chiangmai as follows;
20,000 men from Hua Mueang Nuea or Northern Siamese towns were levied and gathered at Tak.
15,000 men from Thonburi were assembled to join the royal forces
King Taksin marched his Thonburi royal fleet and left the city in November 1774. The fleet went riverine upstream, reaching Kamphangphet and Tak. From Tak, Taksin ordered Chaophraya Chakri, Chaophraya Surasi and Chaophraya Phichairacha to lead the vanguard to Thoen.
Thado Mindin reported to the Burmese court that the two Lanna nobles Phaya Chaban and Kawila were suspected to be involved in sedition. The Burmese court then summoned the two Lanna nobles to Ava. However, Nemyo Thihapate protected Phaya Chaban and Kawila, refusing to let Thado Mindin arrest those two Lanna men. This led to conflict between Thado Mindin and Nemyo Thihapate.
Phaya Chaban, upon learning of Siamese upcoming expedition to Chiangmai, decided to seek Siamese support. Phaya Chaban sent a secret message to Kawila at Lampang, urging him to join his uprising. Kawila complied. Phaya Chaban then devised his plan and volunteered himself to Nemyo Thihapate as vanguard against the Siamese. Nemyo Thihapate allowed Phaya Chaban to lead the group of 70 Burmese men and 50 Lanna men ahead downstream of Ping River to clear the waterways of sediments and obstructions. Phaya Chaban marched his retinue down south to Hot where he massacred all the 70 Burmese and ran to submit himself to Chaophraya Chakri at Thoen. Chaophraya Chakri then sent Phaya Chaban to meet King Taksin at Tak.
At Lampang, Kawila organized a plan to overthrow the Burmese. Kawila sent his younger brother Khamsom to lead an army to the south pretending to fight the Siamese. Kawila then arose and killed the Burmese officials. The Burmese went to Khamsom. Khamsom told the Burmese that Kawila was acting on his own and this rebellion did not involve his family as a whole. The Burmese, however, were not convinced and reported the incidents to Thado Mindin at Chiangmai. Thado Mindin realized that Kawila and his family were insurrecting against the Burmese rule. He had their father Saikaew in Chiangmai imprisoned. Khamsom sent a message to Thado Mindin, pleading that his father was not involved and Kawila was acting alone. Thado Mindin asserted that further investigations will determine their loyalty.
King Taksin at Tak closely monitored the Mon refugee situation. If the king marched north to Chiangmai, the Burmese might follow the Mons and invade through the Mae Lamao Pass in the rear. Taksin decided to leave a handful force to guard the Mae Lamao Pass at Tak and proceeded his army to Lampang in December 1774. Chaophraya Chakri sent an army of 5,000 men led by Phraya Kamphangphet and Phaya Chaban to march to Chiangmai through Li in another direction. Phraya Kamphangphet and Phaya Chaban met the Burmese at Tha Wangtan, leading to the Battle of Tha Wangtan. The Burmese prevailed and the Siamese general had to retreat.
Chaophraya Chakri led the Siamese vanguard from Thoen to Lampang. Kawila went to greet Chakri and Taksin and led the Siamese armies to Chiangmai. Phraya Kamphangphet and Phaya Chaban attacked the Burmese at Tha Wangtan again, securing the victory. At Lamphun, the Burmese dug trenches and encamped against the Siamese. In the Battle of Lamphun, Chakri and the Siamese forces were unable to get through the Burmese at Lamphun to Chiangmai. King Taksin urged his generals to press on the campaign as they risked being attacked from the rear by the Burmese from Mae Lamao Pass. This Chiangmai campaign should be achieved within a short period of time. Taksin ordered Charong cannons to be lifted onto a battle tower to inflict damages on the Burmese. The three Chaophrayas managed to crush the Burmese at Lamphun with cannons and continued north to Chiangmai.
Siege of Chiangmai
The three Chaophrayas - Chakri, Surasi and Phichairacha, divided their forces into thirty-four encampments and laid siege on Chiangmai in January 1775. King Taksin moved his royal army from Lampang to Lamphun, where he was informed that more Burmese were coming to Banna from the Mae Lamao Pass to the west. Taksin ordered his nephew Prince Rammalak to bring an army of 1,800 men to deal with the Burmese at Banna.
Nemyo Thihapate and Thado Mindin the two Burmese generals organized the defense of Chiangmai. The Burmese attacked the besieging Siamese but failed to expel them. Chaophraya Phichairacha, who responsible for attacking the northern walls of Chiangmai, was delayed in establishing his camps and formation. Chaophraya Chakri informed King Taksin that he had been waiting for Phichairacha to complete his task. Once Phichairacha had completed the northern line, Chakri would stage a full attack on Chiangmai on all sides. Taksin rejected the plan and instead ordered Chakri to attack on only one side of Chiangmai at a time because the Siamese might be defeated if any of the engaging sides failed. Chaophraya Chakri complied with the king's plan.
On 14 January 1775, King Taksin marched from Lamphun to Chiangmai in order to press on the attacks on Chiangmai. On that day, Chaophraya Chakri defeated all Burmese forces on the western side of Chiangmai, while Chaophraya Surasi defeated the Burmese on the eastern side and took the Thaphae Gate. Nemyo Thihapate and Thado Mindin capitulated and the Burmese retreated out of Chiangmai through the northern gate of Changphueak, where the Burmese stampeded themselves resulting in the death of 200 Burmese men. Phichairacha on the northern side was unable to withhold the fleeing Burmese as the they poured onto his formation.
King Taksin praised Chaophrayas Chakri and Surasi for the victory at Chiangmai but condemned Phichairacha who allowed the Burmese to break through his formation to escape. The king had Phichairacha whipped 50 times as punishment. Taksin asked Phichairacha to conduct a new campaign against the Burmese-held Lanna town of Phayao to compensate his failures. Phichairacha refused, saying that he preferred death rather than going on any new campaigns. King Taksin then had Phichairacha held in custody in Thonburi.
Kawila was worried about the fate of his father Saikaew in Chiangmai. Two Lanna men in Chiangmai informed Kawila that his father was safe in the prison. Kawila then rescued his father from custody. Thado Mindin and Nemyo Thihapate retreated towards Mongnai, eventually reaching Chiangsaen (Kyaingthin in Burmese) where Thado Mindin was made Myowun or the governor. The Burmese had to move their center of authority in Lanna from Chiangmai to Chiangsaen.
Aftermath and Consequences
King Taksin went to worship Phra Phuttha Sihing the Buddha Image at Wat Phra Singh in Chiangmai. In January 1775, Taksin appointed new governors of Lanna cities;
Phaya Chaban, personal name Boonma, was made Phraya Wichienprakarn () the governor of Chiangmai. His nephew was made the Uparaja or heir.
Kawila was made the governor of Lampang. His younger brother Thammalangka was made Uparaja.
Lanna cities of Chiangmai, Lampang and Lamphun came under Siamese domination. Northern Lanna cities of Chiangsaen, Chiangrai, Fang and Thoeng remained under Burmese rule, whose center of authority moved to Chiangsaen.
Taksin assigned Chaophraya Chakri with the force of 3,000 men to guard Chiangmai against possible subsequent Burmese attempts to reclaim the city. King Taksin proceeded from Chiangmai to Lampang where he worshipped at Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. The ceremony of drinking sacred water to swear fealty to the king was performed at the temple. Chaophraya Surasi proposed to marry Lady Si-Anocha, younger sister of Kawila. Taksin then continued south to Tak, reaching Thonburi in February 1775. Maha Thiha Thura then sent armies to invade Siam through the Three Pagodas Pass in February 1775, leading to the Bangkaeo Campaign. King Taksin had to call the northern armies of Chaophraya Chakri from Chiangmai to go down south to join the Bangkaeo Campaign in Ratchaburi.
Chaophraya Chakri also convinced and persuaded the Nan principality, the easternmost Lanna city, to submit to Siam. Siam appointed Prince Withoon as the ruler of Nan in 1775.
In October 1775, Thado Mindin and Nemyo Thihapate led the Burmese troops from Chiangsaen to attack Chiangmai in attempt to reclaim the city. Chaophrayas Chakri and Surasi brought Northern Siamese troops to defend Chiangmai as the Burmese retreated. The Burmese invasion of Chiangmai in 1775 served as a decoy to lure the Siamese attention to Chiangmai, while Maha Thiha Thura marched his main armies to invade Siam from the Mae Lamao Pass, leading to the Burmese–Siamese War (1775–1776).
Burmese Invasion of Chiangmai (1777)
The new Burmese king Singu Min was eager to reclaim the lost Lanna cities. On his coronation day in January 1777, he sent the Burmese army of 15,000 men under Amyauk Wun Nemyo Thihathu and Binnya U the Mon general to attack Chiangmai. Phraya Wichienprakarn was left with only few thousand men to defend Chiangmai so he decided to evacuate the city and moved south to Tak. The Burmese proceeded to attack Lampang. Kawila also evacuated Lampang and moved south to Sawankhalok. As the Burmese had left, Kawila was able to regroup and resume his position at Lampang but Wichienprakarn could not. The inhabitants of Chiangmai had dispersed or fled into the jungles in the face of Burmese invasion. Phraya Wichienprakarn and his nephew Uparaja took position Wangphrao instead. However, Wichienprakarn and his nephew argued over the accumulation of food resources. Wichienprakarn ended up killing his nephew the Uparaja. After many failed attempts to reestablish himself at Chiangmai, Phraya Wichienprakarn went south to visit King Taksin at Thonburi in 1779. King Taksin was furious at Wichienprakarn's killing of his own nephew and his failures. Taksin ordered Wichienprakarn imprisoned. Phraya Wichienprakarn, formerly Phaya Chaban, eventually died in prison at Thonburi.
The city of Chiangmai was then abandoned and ceased to exist as a functional city. Lanna chronicles describes Chiangmai; "jungle trees and wild animals claimed the city". After years of continuous warfare, Lanna became depopulated because people had perished in war or dispersed into the forests. As Chiangmai and Nan were deserted in the face of Burmese invasion, Lampang stood as the main forefront citadel against Burmese attacks. Chiangmai would be abandoned for about twenty years. It was not until 1796 that Kawila of Lampang was able to restore Chiangmai as the center of Lanna and as the citadel against Burmese incursions.

On the place of the current high school, from 1863 to 1949, there was the Boys' State Primary School no. 6. The Girls' State Primary School no. 3 also functioned in this area between 1896 and 1949, being initially a Catholic confessional school. In 1902 the building became the property of the City Hall, with a secular board, and the language of instruction was Hungarian (until 1926 when the Romanian language was introduced, creating a German and a Hungarian section).
In its current form, the Grigore Moisil High School is one of the young schools of Timișoara, being established in 1971. It was one of the first five computer science high schools in Romania, along with those in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași and Brașov, all founded in 1971, under the name of "high schools for automatic data processing". The old buildings were demolished in 1970, and a new three-level school was built in their place according to a Swedish-inspired plan presented by architect Nicolae Dâncu; the building was completed in late 1972. Over time, the high school was equipped with simple electronic equipment such as office computing machines. Until 1978, the high school did not have a computer to use, all the work and training of the students being done on the computer at the Computer Center in the city. In 1978 the high school was equipped by transfer from the Computer Center with a , which was used until 1984. During this period it was under the direct coordination of the Central Institute of Informatics (ICI) in Bucharest. After 1985, ICI was disbanded and the high school passed under the coordination of the Institute of Electrotechnical Research and Design (ICPE), which introduced electrical engineering classes and laboratories that functioned until 1989. From 1990 all electrical engineering classes were abolished and returned to computer science classes, and the institution became the Computer Science High School; in 1992, it was given the name of Romanian mathematician Grigore Moisil.

His photographic works were displayed at Photographic Society of London in 1869 and they were well received.
Use of reflectors
Some of the corridors of ancient temples in South India are 700 feet long and to capture details of such monuments, Lyon created banks of reflectors.
Author
Edmund David Lyon wrote two novels, The Signora (1883) and Ireland's dream : a romance of the future (1888) apart from producing books on photography.

Anschauung is a German concept that is usually translated as "intuition". It, however, connotes a more nuanced definition especially when the concept is applied to quantum theory. Some of the translations include actual, sense impressions, contemplation, view, opinion, and notion. Anschauung is also an important component of Johann Gottlieb Fichte's doctrine of knowledge.
Concept
Origin
Anschauen or Anschauung, as a philosophical concept (intuition), has been identified in Plato's Allegory of the Cave where it was associated with the terms light, sun, and eye. It was also mentioned in the works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and was referred to as "Phantasie", “Einbildungskraft”, “exakte sinnliche Phantasie” and “anschauende Urteilskraft”. Used in different contexts, the concept was employed as a tool in Goethe's creative, scientific, and philosophical works.
The term Anschauung is derived from the Middle High German term aneschouwunge, which means "contemplation" or "to look at". The term emerged into a philosophical concept as it became a component in theoretical discourse. It became a part of Friedrich Nietzsche's Theory of Language. It is also cited in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Immanuel Kant's works. There are scholars who maintain that the concept is part of the Kantian terminology, which was developed in Latin and translated to German. This observation holds that Kant often associated the word intuitus with Anschauung to make his meaning clear. The conceptualization was also used in the Kantian investigation on the immediate cognition of the existence of God.
Definition
According to Hegel, Anschauung is the immediate perception of something, mental or physical, one that is organized according to its inner nature or according to universal reason. In this definition, he distinguished Anschauung from Vorstellung, which pertains to the philosophical concepts (metaphorical or analogical senses) and their dependence on sensory contents.
Arthur Schopenhauer's definition described the term as what transpires once the eye senses an external object, recognizing it as the cause of the vision. Nietzsche defined Anschauung as the projected image of a completely enraptured being. He also associated it with the word "contemplation". In this definition, there is a rejection of the Schopenhauer's version of the concept as it denies the abstract idealism of the will as well as "its objectifications of the world of representations".
Interpretations
In the Kantian phenomenology, Anschauung is identified as "apprehension". Together with Empfindung (sensation), Anschauung constitutes sense (Sinnlichkeit), which represents subjective states. These two concepts, either independently or together in Wahrnehmung, represent the knowledge of external objects. For Kant, Anschauung is the same as sense-data of knowledge. Another analysis cited it as one of the two characteristics that Kant said represented sensibility. Theseconstitute the sense-impressions identified as facts and are inherent in nature, existing prior to ideas, which are constructs of such impressions. As a doctrine, Anschauung and the corresponding critique of pure understanding are said to reveal the limits of sensible cognition.
According to Arthur Schopenhauer, everyday empirical Anschauung is intellectual in character since it mainly entails the work of the intellect. This definition is notable because it was against the Kantian notion of a totally direct perception (Wahrnehmung).
In Fichte's doctrine of knowledge, Anschauung plays a role in the perception of the external objects and is united with the notion of Denken. He used Anschauung in a various ways when he outlined his doctrine of knowledge. In some instances, he described it as "non-thought" as sense qualifies as such. In other works, however, he cited that all thoughts are confined within Anschauung. Particularly, Fichte identified "ordinary" and technical conceptualizations. The former pertains to perception or the objective universe for man, citing that what is visually perceived is ego-stuff in thought-forms. The latter denotes the "this and that of the qualitative".

Ensuring Secure Seas: Indian Maritime Security Strategy (IMSS-2015 or Strategy-2015) is a document published under India's Integrated Headquarters outlining the nation's updated thinking towards its naval considerations. The previous edition Freedom to Use the Seas: India's Maritime Military Strategy (IMMS-2007) was published in 2007.
Primary areas of national interest have been expanded to include a larger portion of the Indian Ocean. Secondary areas such as the Mediterranean Sea have been included. Naval power will be built towards three carrier battle groups. Ballistic missile submarines will aid in sustainable and continuous nuclear deterrence and assured destruction. The strategy mentions international concepts and law such as freedom of navigation and United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and that counter-piracy and humanitarian efforts will increase.
The document acknowledges the labyrinth of dynamic geopolitical linkages. Organized crime, climate change and natural disasters have been considered. The document briefly lists other national projects and initiatives Project Mausam and Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR).
Commentary
With regard to maritime law, India will need to walk the talk, taking cue from its own arbitration award with Bangladesh. The elucidation of "net security provider" in the Indian Ocean doubles down on the phrase and remains a challenge even within the limits of the northern Indian Ocean.
Strategy-2015 has been called "assertive" as compared to its "conservative" predecessor, however the document does not go into detail how naval dominance will be attained and only portrays the general role of carrier battle groups during conflict.
