Wiley Ward Hatcher (May 3, 1828???) was an American businessman and politician. He served one term in the Wisconsin State Assembly representing Fond du Lac County. Biography Wiley Ward Hatcher was born in Henry County, Tennessee, on May 3, 1828. His parents both died of Typhoid fever just two years later, leaving him an orphan. He was sent to live with his mother's brother, James Baker.

In 1849, he went west for the California Gold Rush. He took a ship from New Orleans around Cape Horn, and stopped briefly in Valparaíso, before arriving in California. He worked successfully as a miner in California until 1853, when he traveled to Australia to continue his mining and prospecting career. Over the next several years, he traveled extensively between California, Australia, and various Pacific islands. He shipped oil from Australia to California and shipped grain, wool, and pelts from California to Australia and New Zealand, some of this was in partnership with B. F. Pond. After several years, he returned to the eastern United States landing at New York City on December 23, 1855. He married there three months later, and journeyed from New York to Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and finally Wisconsin.

Bertha Lee Turner (1867–1938) was an American caterer, cookbook author, and community leader in Pasadena, California in the early 1900s. She is most famous for compiling The Federation Cookbook: A Collection of Tested Recipes Compiled by the Colored Women of the State of California. Early life Bertha Lee Turner was born Bettie Lee, in 1867, in Kentucky. Turner was one of four children born to Squire (Henry) Lee and Sophia Mitchell. Her siblings' names were Benjamin, Sally, and Leander. Turner's father, Squire, was a veteran of the Civil War. He enlisted in the Union Army in Lexington, Kentucky, and according to the U.S. Descriptive List of Colored Volunteer Army Soldiers, 1864, was a slave when he enlisted. Having won their freedom from the American Civil War, by 1870, Squire was working as a farm hand while Sophia ran the home in Kentucky. By 1880, when Turner was 13, she had moved to Marion, Indiana. Her mother, doing laundry to support the family, married her second husband, Edward Dupree, also a veteran of the Civil War. Bertha married James Turner on December 6, 1891, when she was 24 years old. By 1895, they had their one and only son, Raymond. By 1900, Raymond was living with his grandparents, while Bertha and James worked in the home of a man named Sterling R. Scott, an ice manufacturer. Bertha was a servant while James was the butler. Between 1900 and 1906, Turner and James moved to Pasadena, California. Career In Pasadena, Turner became very involved in business and community affairs. Turner established a catering business in Pasadena, and joined the National Federation of Colored Women as well as the Sojourner Truth societies. She employed many residents of Pasadena, and provided scholarships for promising students. She was a member and trustee of The African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1910, Turner collected recipes and edited The Federation Cookbook: A Collection of Tested Recipes Compiled by the Colored Women of the State of California, a cookbook to preserve black culinary identity and celebrate the culinary success of local housewives. The cookbook assembled recipes from cooks living in and around Pasadena, most probably from the National Federation of Colored Women. The cookbook opens with a poem to modern housewives answering the perennial question of "what's for dinner" and also states that Turner was a State Superintendent of Domestic Science and private caterer. She was known as a good cook and hostess, evidenced by newspaper coverage of a dinner she held in October 1917:"Mrs. Bertha Turner of 920 Worcester St., Pasadena, was a charming hostess on Monday evening when she gave a delightful dinner in honor of Mesdames L. Robinson, E. Lewis and Misses B. King and L. Thompson, all of New York. The Table was a dream of perfect beauty and the dainty table appointments of silver candelabras and silver baskets filled with choice pink nodding rose buds and large bows of delicate pink ribbon was a sight too beautiful to have been true, the transformation being so effective that those present thought of only fairy land where the fairies flitted here and there and the five course dinner was enjoyed to each heart's content and was only that will linger long in the memory of those bid to sup with such charming visitors as these ladies from New York. Besides the hostess and her husband the following were the dinner guests: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Corbin, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. D. Conner, Mesdames Nolie Murray, Maude Stallings and Miss Estelle Everette." Around 1917, Turner began to cater for various clubs in Pasadena, including Club No. 2 and the Shakespeare Club, a charitable organization. She contributed to the Shakespeare Club's 1936 Cookbook Dainties that are Bred in a Book. Turner was a patroness to the arts, sponsoring many events, including a 1915 play about Anthony Burns. In 1924, Turner and her husband moved from 920 Worcester Avenue to a "palatial residence of 10 rooms, consisting of every modern convenience" at 725 Winona Avenue. In 1925, when Turner's daughter-in-law, Elsie Dalton Turner, was involved in a car accident that resulted in the death of a young girl, Turner wrote a Letter to the editor of the California Eagle noting the biased reporting. From 1931 to 1934, Turner ran concessions of the Tea Garden at the Hollywood Bowl. Death In 1937, Turner suffered a sudden health collapse. It was eventually diagnosed as bladder cancer, according to her death certificate. Turner passed away on February 4, 1938. Her death was a shock to the Pasadena community, who reported solely on her death as the social news of the week in the California Eagle."There are no words to employ that might measure the extent of the loss that California sustains now and forever after: for hers was a niche that she alone could fill." - George Garner, California Eagle Her funeral was at the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Pasadena, and had an estimated 1500 people in attendance. Turner is buried at Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum in Altadena, Los Angeles County. At the time of her death she was reported to be, "California's wealthiest colored citizen" and to have employed hundreds of people during the summer season.

Abell 63 is a planetary nebula with an eclipsing binary central star system in the northern constellation of Sagitta. Based on parallax measurements of the central star, it is located at a distance of approximately 8,810 light years from the Sun. The systemic radial velocity of the nebula is . The nuclear star system is the progenitor of the nebula and it has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 14.67. During mid eclipse the magnitude drops to 19.24. The star H.V. 5452 was found to be a candidate eclipsing binary system in 1932 by Dorrit Hoffleit, and it was given the variable star designation UU Sagittae (UU Sge). In 1955, George O. Abell discovered a nebula in the same region of the sky from photographic plates taken by the National Geographic Society – Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. The identifier 'Abell 63' comes from a follow-up publication by Abell in 1966, which identified the nebula as a homogeneous disk in diameter with a central star of magnitude 14.67. In 1976, Howard E. Bond noted that the positions of the variable star and the center of the nebula coincide. That same year, J. S. Miller and associates confirmed that UU Sge is an eclipsing binary, finding a period of 11h 09.6m with an eclipse duration of 70 minutes. The deep eclipse decreased the brightness of the pair by ~4.3 magnitudes. The general shape of this nebula appears to be a hollow tube with a prominent hyperbolic-shaped waist. The bright central rim has faint extensions leading to end caps; the primary axis of the tube being aligned along a position angle of 34°. The overall profile has a 7:1 aspect ratio spanning an angular size of , with the ends at an equal angular distance from the center. The nebula is expanding with a velocity of . Surrounding the bright central rim is a faint circular shell, which may be the remnant of the stellar wind produced as the central star passed through the asymptotic giant branch. The central system is a close detached binary with an orbital period of 11.5 hours. The length of the total eclipse of the primary component by the secondary is 13.4 minutes. They have a projected separation of at least 2.45 times the radius of the Sun. The primary is an O-type subdwarf star (sdO) that has passed through the asymptotic giant branch stage, during which it ejected the surrounding planetary nebula. It has 63% of the mass of the Sun and 35% of the Sun's radius, with an effective temperature of ~78,000 K. The secondary has the mass of an M-type main-sequence star, or 29% of the mass of the Sun. However, the effective temperature of 6,136 K is much higher than expected for an M dwarf, and the radius of 56% of the Sun is too large. This is because the point on the secondary facing the primary is being heated by its much hotter companion. The hot primary is also providing the illumination of the surrounding nebula.

Adversarial journalism refers to a kind of journalism or a journalistic role where the journalist adopts an oppositional and combative style of reporting and interviewing. The goal of adversarial journalism is to reveal supposed wrongdoings of actors under investigation. Instead of being completely impartial, adversarial journalists take sides in what they believe to be true. They deliberately combine information with commentary or opinion in their writing. In particular, adversarial journalists remain relentlessly hostile and highly skeptical regarding government, big business companies, and political events, questions, institutions and personalities. Adversarial journalism is thought to be traditional in liberal democracies where journalism is regarded as a "Fourth Estate" (the fourth pillar of a democracy). It is also considered an extreme form of participant journalism or advocacy journalism. It has been contrasted with public or civic journalism. Criticism Critics of adversarial journalism have characterized it as overly aggressive, rude, brash, arrogant, antagonistic and cynical. They argue that the selective nature of information and partisan or biased commentary inherent in adversarial journalism have the potential to be transformed into propaganda. This, in turn, can increase people's distrust in media and at the same time deteriorate the quality of public discussion. According to critics, the non-deferential nature of adversarial journalism can foment public cynicism about the functioning of big government organizations and eventually erode their trust in democracy. They state that it is too preoccupied with scandals and strategies rather than political substance. Former executive editor of the American daily newspaper The New York Times Bill Keller contends that journalists, as a matter of institutional discipline, must try to suspend their opinions, aspire to be impartial and let the evidence speak for itself so that readers can decide for themselves. For Keller, journalists who are forthcoming about their subjective views are more likely to manipulate the facts to fit their chosen narrative out of pride. Support Proponents of adversarial journalism, however, argue that it does not abandon verifying what is true. According to them, adversarial journalists do not manipulate any facts, but at the same time they are bold enough to accuse the people who they believe are worthy of blame. According to self-styled adversarial journalist Glenn Greenwald, the two-fold mission of journalism is "informing the public of accurate and vital information, and its unique ability to provide a truly adversarial check on those in power." Greenwald has described "fearless, adversarial journalism" to be necessary to "bring transparency and accountability to powerful governmental and corporate institutions." According to Greenwald, despite the institutionally objective tone promoted by big media institutions, the public hold these outlets with very low esteem. To Greenwald, journalism is inherently subjective and the pretense of objectivity or impartiality can be harmful because it promotes false equivalence and a superficially impartial journalist who hides their views can manipulate the reader who is unaware of those hidden views. For Greenwald, journalism requires fairness and rigorous adherence to facts, but at the same time, journalists must be forthcoming about their perspectives and subjective assumptions. American investigative journalist Matt Taibbi writes in the Rolling Stone magazine in 2013 that "'Objectivity' is a fairy tale invented purely for the consumption of the credulous public....journalists can strive to be balanced and objective, but that’s all it is, striving....Try as hard as you want, a point of view will come forward in your story." He adds that "No matter how it’s presented, every report by every reporter advances someone’s point of view." In an article published in Current Affairs in February 2022, British-American journalist Nathan J. Robinson writes that it is vitally important to have "a strong adversarial press that investigates government claims and checks whether they are supported by evidence." In particular, Robinson states that journalists need to be especially critical towards a government's justifications to start a war with another nation and hold them in highest scrutiny, as "war is the greatest horror human beings are capable of producing." History and current state United States The origin of adversarial journalism in the United States can be traced back to the investigative journalism in the late 18th century, when newspapers started doubting governmental actions and looked for information from other sources. This trend continued in the 19th century, when cheap and mass-produced tabloid-style newspapers collectively called the Penny press from the 1830s reinforced the idea that journalism could serve public interest and not just special interests of government, business, or powerful individuals. In the Progressive Era (1890s–1920s) of the United States, an intense form of adversarial journalism was practiced where journalists revealed wrongdoings and corruption within the government, business and established institutions, often through sensationalist publications. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt referred to them in 1906 as "muckrakers". After the second world war, according to American political scientist Donald R. Matthews, media was deemed "overcooperative" regarding their relationship with the US Congress. According to historian Julian Zelizer, the press treated the political establishment with respect until the mid-1960s. According to American journalism academic Carl Sessions Stepp, in this "pre-Watergate, pre-Vietnam, pre-Dealey Plaza world", the journalists appear "naively trusting of government, shamelessly boosterish, unembarrassedly hokey and obliging", as they simply acted as messengers of "an unquestioned, quasi-official sense of things." Starting in the late 1960s, and into the 1970s, adversarial journalism regained strength and interest as journalists covered the Civil Rights movement, the protests against the Vietnam war and the Watergate scandal that culminated in the resignation of U.S. President Richard Nixon. According to historian Matthew Pressman, between 1960 and 1980, "interpretation replaced transmission, and adversarialism replaced deference." According to Jill Lepore, a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine, this was partially due to the desire to offer something different than television, and partially a consequence of McCarthyism. Neo-conservative journalist Irving Kristol wrote in 1967 that while it is commendable to keep a reporter's prejudices out of a story, but when the same reporter refuses to give their judgment on that story, the truth is "emasculated". In a paper presented in 1989, professor of media and communication Jian-Hua Zhu presented a differentiation model to show different kinds of adversarial attitudes of individual American journalists and journalistic organizations (which are bureaucratic enterprises governed by commerce and routine activities) towards powerful individuals (such as high-ranked public officials and corporate executives), organizations (such as legislating bodies, executive departments, courts, political parties and big corporations) and the "System" (i.e. the state) as a whole. According to Zhu, in the U.S., individual journalists are strongly adversarial towards powerful individuals, but moderately and mildly adversarial when it comes to powerful organizations and the System, respectively. Journalism organizations are, for Zhu, moderately adversarial to powerful individuals, mildly adversarial to powerful organizations, and not at all adversarial towards the System. In other words, adversarial journalists fight against the "bad guys" of power, but almost never criticizes the System which inherently "good". Zhu noted that according to a survey published by Weaver and Wilhoit in 1988, compared to other roles such as the disseminator role and the interpretive role, the adversarial role was the least popular role among American journalists. Contrary to the concerns from critics of adversarial journalism, currently American journalists with an adversarial journalistic propensity constitute a small minority. In a 2007 The American Journalist survey, it was found that while 82% of journalists considered the investigation of government claims as extremely important, only 18% deemed it extremely important to be adversarial toward the government. According to Bill Keller, striving for "fairness" in writing is a relatively modern norm in American journalism and not so long ago, openly opinionated journalism was much more commonplace.

The Milan–Lodi War was a conflict fought in the early 12th century between the Lombard comuni of Milan and Lodi, resulting in the defeat and destruction of the latter. Background The death in 1052 of Boniface of Canossa without male heirs resulted in Isola Fulcheria, one of his fiefdoms, whose most important center was the city of Crema, passing under the direct control of the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1055 the emperor Henry III the Black donated the fiefdom to Upaldo, bishop of Cremona, but Beatrice of Lorraine, widow of Bonifacio, decided that after her death the fiefs of her husband would be inherited by her daughter, Matilde of Canossa. On 1 January 1098 Matilda decided to cede the countryside of Isola Fulcheria to the bishopric and to the city of Cremona on the condition that in exchange for it they would swear loyalty to her, recognizing her as their lady. The Cremonese accepted, but Crema refused to submit to Cremona, prompting the latter to send an army against Crema in May of the same year, without however being able to capture due to the city being well fortified and provided with a strong castle. In 1102 Crema went on the counteroffensive, re-establishing the status quo ante bellum. Due to the stalemate, both cities then started diplomatic negotiations with their neighbors in order to secure allies. Cremona made alliances with Lodi and Pavia, and Crema did the same with Milan and Tortona. War In August 1107 the militias of Cremona, Lodi and Pavia attacked Tortona and managed to set fire to one of its suburbs. This action triggered the intervention of its ally Milan, which promised to raze Lodi, its rival in the control of trade along the Lambro. The Milanese could count on the support of Arderico, bishop of Lodi, his brother Gariardo and a part of the nobility of Lodi; however the people and the clergy of Lodi, harboring strong suspicions regarding the partiality of their bishop towards the enemy, exiled him from the city. Arderico was in fact Milanese, hailing from Vignate, a village in the Martesana countryside, and spent a lot of time in Milan, rarely being seen in Lodi, being always partial to Grosolanus, archbishop of Milan, known for having been accused of simony by the priest Liprando. In 1108 Guido Pescari, archbishop of Pavia, moved against the Milanese with the local militia and most of the citizens. According to Leo of Ostia, the two armies met in Campo Ollii, a place not well identified. The most probable hypothesis is that it must be identified with an expanse of fields near the Olona river south of Milan, since Galvano Fiamma wrote that the site of the battle was "versus civitatem Mediolani", and "Olii" appears among the names for the Olona in some documents of that period. For this reason, the possibility that Campo Olii meant fields near the Oglio river, as claimed by Bernardino Corio, appears less likely. In the battle that followed, the Milanese won a decisive victory in which most of the army and enemy citizens were captured, including the archbishop of Pavia himself. Fiamma recounts that after a few days spent in various prisons in the Milanese countryside, the Pavesi were freed and taken to Milan in the town square, located in front of the Broletto Vecchio. Here, as a mockery, a bundle of straw was tied to the back of each of them and set fire to them and in this manner they were driven out of the city. On 18 June 1110 the Milanese defeated the Cremonese in the battle of Bressanoro (Brixianorum), just north of Castelleone. Although not mentioned in the chronicles of Landulf Junior, who was in France at that time, the victory over the Cremonese was most likely followed by a second victory over Pavia. In May 1111 the Milanese, taking advantage of the absence of the Emperor Henry V of Franconia, who was on his way from Verona to Germany after a turbulent coronation in Rome, sent the army against Lodi and, after a siege that lasted less than a month, took the city on 24 May 24, then set it on fire and completely razed it to the ground, sparing only the churches. This thorough destruction took a month to complete. Consequences After its destruction, the Milanese imposed a harsh peace on the people of Lodi, forbidding the reconstruction of Lodi, which never returned to being a city of primary importance. They also forbade holding the market there, selling or buying possessions and obtaining licenses without the authorization of Milanese magistrates. On pain of exile, they prevented anyone from helping them and prescribed the confiscation of assets from those city magistrates who had not enforced these provisions. In June 1112 Giordano da Clivio, the new archbishop of Milan, entered into a peace and a defensive and offensive alliance with Pavia. Cremona managed to take possession of Crema only on 26 August 1116, followed by a peace with the Milanese. On 3 August 1158, Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa refounded the city of Lodi four miles east of the old settlement, on the banks of the Adda, and guaranteed it many privileges thanks to which it quickly returned to flourish. A village called Lodi Vecchio ("Old Lodi") was built on the ruins of the destroyed city.

The , or the Great Rite of Āṭavaka, is one of the of Esoteric Shingon Buddhism. Its name is also sometimes pronounced Daigen no hō. The ritual is performed with Āṭavaka in the role of honzon, and it may be considered a military curse. Early history In the year 839, the monk Jōgyō, a disciple of Kūkai, introduced the Imperial Court to the procedures of the Daigensuihō as part of the systematic importation of Tang esoteric practices. A decade later in 851, the Daijō-kan issued a document ordering the annual implementation of the Daigensuihō. As a result, it is believed to have been formally established in that year. Since then, the ritual was performed every year between the 8th to the 17th days after the New Year at the facilities of the Ministry of the Imperial Household. The necessary equipment was to be procured from Akishino-dera in Yamato Province, which was associated with Jōgyō. Jōgyō's promotion of Daigensuihō put him in direct conflict with Ennin of the Tendai sect who instead lobbied for the implementation of the as the ritual of national defense. The Daigensuihō was originally formulated as a prayer for and the and was therefore performed only in the immediate presence of the Emperor. Vassals (i.e. the court aristocracy) were not allowed to perform it on their own initiative. In the of 995, Interior Minister Fujiwara no Korechika was banished from the capital and relegated to a post in the Dazaifu on the pretext that he had conducted the Daigensuihō himself. It is known that Oda Nobunaga, who at the time held the reins of government, cooperated with Emperor Ōgimachi in the restoration of the image of Āṭavaka in 1575. In the Edo period, the Daigensuihō was once again revived at the Imperial palace in Kyoto. It was held there until the Meiji Restoration. Modern military use In 1904, of Yokohama produced a standing image of Āṭavaka which was used in a Daigensuihō performed in prayer for victory in the Russo-Japanese War. Later, during the Pacific War, the Daigensuihō was carried out for the last time in an invocation of a by the Imperial Japanese Army. points out the connection between the title , which was used by the Emperor as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese armed forces, and the name of the Daigensuihō, which contains the same characters and was meant to be carried out solely in the Emperor's presence.

Takumi's Aviation is a modern classic cocktail made with gin, maraschino liqueur, Parfait d'Amour, and lemon juice. It is served straight up, in a cocktail glass. History Takumi's Aviation was created by Takumi Watanabe, head bartender at The Sailing Bar in Sakurai, Nara, Japan. In 2010, he created the drink for the Diageo World Class Bartender Competition in Athens, Greece. Bartender and writer Gary Regan, who was judging the competition, described it as "the very best Aviation cocktail I’ve ever encountered." In 2017, Regan contacted Takumi to ask about the recipe, and Tagumi said that it substituted the crème de violette usually included in an aviation cocktail with Parfait d'Amour. The Parfait d'Amour has more orange and vanilla notes than crème de violette, which is usually quite floral. A recipe for the drink appeared in Regan's 2017 book The Joy of Mixology. Preparation Regan's recreation of the original recipe called for gin, maraschino liqueur, Parfait d'Amour liqueur, and lemon juice. It is garnished with a twist of lemon peel on the top. In 2021, Watanabe said that he had changed the cocktail recipe, stating "Because the liqueurs have changed its flavor, I adjusted the recipe." The new recipe for the drink appeared in The Japanese Cocktail : Watanabe Takumi and Kaneko Michito's philosophy. It called for gin, maraschino liqueur, Parfait d'Amour liqueur, and lemon juice.

Mycobacterium suricattae is a species of the tuberculosis complex of the genus Mycobacterium. It causes tuberculosis in meerkats, and was first identified from South African animals in 2013. Prior to this, it was considered to be synonymous with Mycobacterium bovis. Transmission and symptoms M. suricattae is transmitted by respiratory particles, bites and allogrooming. In addition to the lungs, the spleen and liver may be infected, and submandibular lymph node swelling is a characteristic symptom. Lymph nodes may swell to the point of rupture, and infected animals almost invariably die within six months without intervention. References Actinobacteria Tuberculosis Mammal diseases

The Skipper 20 is an American trailerable, "character" sailboat that was designed as a daysailer and pocket cruiser and first built in 1978. The designer is not known. Production The design was built by Southern Sails in the United States, from 1978 until 1981, but it is now out of production. Design The Skipper 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim and simulated lapstrake construction. It has a fractional sloop rig, canoe hull with a raked stem, a rounded transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It was produced in two versions, one with a standard cabin and the other with a cuddy cabin. The boat has a draft of with the standard shoal draft keel. The boat is normally fitted with a small well-mounted outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow. The portable-type head is located under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is . The design has a hull speed of . Variants Skipper 20 This cabin model displaces and carries of ballast. With its bowsprit it has a length overall of . Skipper 20 Cuddy This model displaces and carries of ballast. Lacking a bowsprit, it has a length overall of . Operational history In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "this is a character boat of a type attractive to people who think that a sailboat hull shaped like a lifeboat is safer than a hull with a normal transom, In reality, it isn't, at least in a vessel this small. Best features: Compared with her comp[etitor]s, the Skipper 20 has a larger cockpit, with a convenient outboard engine in a well under a hatch just ahead of the rudder, and her simulated lapstrake topsides give her a jaunty antique look. Worst features: Perhaps the designer (who is unidentified in the literature we've seen) expected all skippers to spend most of their time under power. That seems a likely possibility considering the boat's pitifully short mast and tiny sails—exacerbated by a main boom which is needlessly high on the mast. Moreover, the stubby keel is too shallow to keep the boat from side-slipping under sail, and for reasons we can't fathom, the rudder is much too small for effective steering while sailing ..."

Laser Interconnect and Networking Communications System (LINCS) is a test of Laser communication in space using two cubesats launched in Jun 2021. Built by General Atomics for the US DOD's Space Development Agency. The two cubesats, LINCS A/B, were launched on SpaceX's Transporter-2 rideshare in June 2021, but communications were not established by Jan 2022. One theory is that helium exposure during the Falcon 9 launch affected MEMS devices in the cubesats.

The 2018–19 Alaska Nanooks men's ice hockey season was the 70th season of play for the program, the 35th at the Division I level and the 6th in the WCHA conference. The Nanooks represented the University of Alaska Fairbanks and were coached by Erik Largen, in his 1st season. Season After just one season with Lance West behind the bench, Alaska brought in Erik Largen as the program's 27th head coach. The Nanooks had trouble finding their game early in the season under their new leader and began 0–7–1. While some of the struggles were caused by a difficult schedule (6 games came against ranked opponents), Alaska's offense was paltry in those matches. The team averages less than 2 goals per game and were shut out on three occasions. The team improved in November and saw some modest gains in their scoring production. Freshman goalie, Gustavs Dāvis Grigals, also got a turn in net and helped propel Alaska to four wins over a four-week span. While it looked like the team may be rounding a corner, both Grigals and nominal starter Anton Martinsson struggled as the calendar turned to January and the Nanooks ended up with a 5-game losing streak. Martinsson recovered first and helped the team right the ship down the stretch. Alaska showed some grit with wins over Bowling Green and Minnesota State when both were ranked in the top-10. The Nanooks were also able to take three out of four games from Alaska Anchorage to claim their seventh straight Governor's Cup. In the WCHA Tournament, Alaska continued to show improvement when they fought hard against 2nd seed, Northern Michigan. The team took a 4–2 lead into the third period but couldn't stop the Wildcats from tying the game in the waning seconds. The Nanooks fought hard in the overtime, firing 14 shots on goal in just over 30 minutes, but they couldn't solve Atte Tolvanen. While NMU won the game, the team didn't fold and continued to press in the second game. Alaska got out to a 2–0 lead by the midpoint of the game but again could not hold the lead and surrendered 4 goals over a 20-minute span. Tyler Cline scored with Martinsson on the bench to close the gap to 1 but the Nanooks couldn't get the tying marker and saw their season slip away despite a gutsy performance.

Dictyonema lawreyi is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in the United States, it was formally described as a new species in 2019 by Manuela Dal Forno, Laurel Kaminsky, and Robert Lücking. The type specimen was collected in Ocala National Forest (Marion County, Florida), where it was growing as an epiphyte on a trunk of Magnolia. It is only known to occur here and in two other locations in Florida, all in hardwood forests. The lichen has a crustose and filamentous growth form on a white hypothallus, and thallus surface made of a mat of turquoise, loosely interwoven fibrils forming more or less continuous patches up to long. The type was collected by lichenologist James Lawrey, for whom the species is named, and whose work, according to the authors, "helped to redefine the circumscription of the genus Dictyonema s.str."

The battle of Goito bridge was the first significant clash fought during the First Italian War of Independence and took placed on the 8th April 1848. It came to be known as the battle of Goito bridge or the battle of the bridge of Goito (la Battaglia del Ponte di Goito) in order to distinguish it from the far more significant and large-scale battle of Goito that was fought the following month. The battle of Goito bridge saw a Piedmontese division capture a key bridge on the River Mincio held by a significantly smaller Austrian detachment. As the first battle in which the newly established Piedmontese Bersaglieri corps took part, the battle of the bridge of Goito holds a significant place in Italian military historiography and in the corps' battle honors. Order of Battle The battle took place between an advance guard of the 1st Piedmontese division (General Eusebio Bava) commanded by Federico d'Arvillars and a smaller Austrian detachment under Ludwig von Wohlgemuth in and around the crossing on the river Mincio by Goito. The Piedmontese advance guard consisted of a company of the newly founded light-infantry Bersaglieri, a small cavalry platoon, a detachment of military engineers, 300 marines of the Royal Sardinian Navy led by Major Alli Maccarani and a detachment of the 6th artillery battery. The Piedmontese were also reinforced by a company of Mantuan volunteers led by Captain Saverio Griffini. A single company of skirmishing Kaiserjäger from the defending Austrian detachment had occupied the town and its outskirts, while five companies of Austrian infantry and 4 artillery pieces held the opposite bank of the river. The objective of the smaller Austrian force was to frustrate the Piedmontese crossing, delaying the enemy advance against Mantua and to destroy the bridge. The Battle Early in the morning (sometime between 8 and 9 am) the advance guard of the 1st Piedmontese Division clashed with Austrian forces outside the town. A company of Bersaglieri and a squadron of cavalry squad then attacked the company of Kaiserjäger holding the entrance to the town and "quickly forced them to disperse". Colonel Alessandro La Marmora then led the Bersaglieri charge into the town, and was seriously injured in the jaw in the course of the engagement. The Austrians, who had earlier placed explosive on the bridge decided to blow it up in order to halt the Italian advance, but were unable to do so as the explosives had been rendered ineffective by rain the previous night. Just as Austrian Engineers started wiring the bridge with explosives again, the Bersaglieri - supported by Major Alli Maccarani's marines - sought to capture the bridge and prevent its disabling. The Bersaglieri attack was however not full successful, and momentarily stalled under the accurate fire of the Kaiserjäger protecting the bridge-head in town. Major Alli Maccarani was wounded in the shoulder, and even the officer who replaced him was shot in the right hand and wounded. A Lieutenant from the Royal Sardinian Navy and Lieutenant Demetrio Galli of the Bersaglieri were killed alongside a number of enlisted men. The Piedmontese assault stalled. General d'Arvillars then dispatched a few companies of the 9th infantry Regiment to aid the Bersaglieri and marines in their assault on the bridge. The Austrian engineers had however by then finished placing the explosives, and the Kaiserjäger retreated across the bridge minutes before the Austrian engineers blew up the structure. The Austrian efforts were however unsuccessful in completing destroying the key bridge: the entire floor of the bridge collapsed, but one of its parapets remained standing. The two opposing sides then began exchanging fire across the river. Seeking to end the stalemate and to capture what remained of the crossing, General d'Arvillars ordered some Piedmontese units to march northwards and give the impression that a pontoon may be thrown across the river at another location. As the Austrian defenders prepared to retreat in order to avoid being flanked a small group of Bersaglieri and marines then climbed across the semi-destroyed bridge, prompting a collapse of the Austrian defensive position. As the Austrians fled, the Piedmontese seized a cannon and captured at least thirty prisoners. The Austrians regrouped in Mozzecane and then retreated towards Mantua while more Piedmontese troops crossed the damaged bridge and engineers worked to restore the structure. Three hours later the bridge was supposedly fully restored, and more substantial Piedmontese forces were able to cross the bridge.

Turning Mill is a residential neighborhood of mid-century modern houses in Lexington, Massachusetts, US. Description Turning Mill is a residential neighborhood located in northern Lexington, Massachusetts. It includes a section originally known as "Middle Ridge" and the slightly later "Upper Turning Mill" section; they were named a Neighborhood Conservation District by the Town of Lexington in 2018. Almost all of the houses in the neighborhood were built between the years of 1955 and 1967. Background The post-World War II period was a time of significant growth of suburban housing in the United States, most of which employed traditional, American designs. Levittown, NY was the best-known example, where a new house could be bought for $7000 with just $100 down and drew in many homecoming soldiers. Lexington was also experiencing growth of housing, but was close to the academic centers where new design ideas were being developed, such as at the Harvard Graduate School of Design led by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, and the MIT School of Architecture and Planning. Lexington was home to many professionals and academics whose minds were open to different design ideas. When the Turning Mill / Middle Ridge project began in 1955, there were already 3 communities designed with modernist principles under development in Lexington: Six Moon Hill; developed by The Architects Collaborative (TAC) (1947); Five Fields, also developed by TAC begun in 1951; and Peacock Farm, by Walter Pierce and Danforth Compton (1951). In different ways, each of these teams was looking for ways to take advantage of new, industrial materials and modernist principles, to produce more affordable housing more quickly. The initial developer for the project was Carl Koch, originator of the Techbuilt system of modular housing construction. Koch had already experimented with some of his design ideas at the Concord, Massachusetts community of Conantum. Architecture The Turning Mill neighborhood was envisioned as a development of Techbuilt prefabricated houses, with 35 houses eventually built using this innovative methodology. Over time, other companies became involved in home construction there: specifically, the Architectural Planning Associates of Boston created three housing versions, the raised ranch, the split-level and the chalet; and developer Harmon White licensed the "Peacock Farm House" from Walter Pierce for reuse at Turning Mill. Of the 158 houses in the district, all but 12 reflect mid-century modern design principles. Neighborhood Conservation District As homes in the area aged and market conditions began to favor "tear-downs" over repair, neighbors became concerned about preserving the unique characteristics of their neighborhood. Because the houses were already listed in Lexington's Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey, there was year-long delay before a listed house could be demolished, and a required public hearing before the Lexington Historic Commission. In one publicized case, the homeowners reconsidered their plan to tear down their 1958 home, surprised by the intensity of local feeling. After much-needed renovations, the house in question still stands, more than 10 years after that hearing. But realization that there was an ongoing threat caused the neighbors to look for new means of preservation. There was an interest in finding a means of protecting architectural resources that was less stringent than the state-governed Local Historic District status. To that end, an article was brought before Lexington's Town Meeting to create a Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD) status which was approved in 2016. Even before the new bylaw was approved, proponents of a Turning Mill NCD began to document the characteristics of the area that would make it worthy of protection. Following completion of the necessary documentation, the request received a positive vote in Lexington's Town Meeting in April 2018.

Satellite refuelling is the operation of replenishing on board propellants and other consumables in satellites in orbit, e.g. in geostationary orbit around Earth. This could be for storable propellants, and later for cryogenic propellants. Examples : Space Infrastructure Servicing by Canadian MDA Orbital Express — a 2007 U.S. government-sponsored mission to test in-space satellite servicing with two vehicles designed from the start for on-orbit refueling and subsystem replacement. Robotic Refueling Mission, a series of NASA projects, including cryogenics transfer tests at ISS Contracts : Jan 2022: Astroscale contracted to use Orbit-fab in-orbit propellant depots. Standards Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface, for non-cryogenic fluids and gases ASSIST, for docking, ground tested by a consortium of European companies. Alternatives Rather than refuel, another craft could attach itself to the customer satellite and provide any desired propulsion. E.g.: Mission Extension Vehicle, of Northrop Grumman, MEV-1 in operation in 2021. References Satellites
The Dichiu–Tirchilești Church () is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 72 Icoanei Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The church existed by 1773, but lacks a pisanie or other inscriptions attesting its precise origins. Its name comes from two sources: Deoghen, traditionally considered the ktetor, was dichiu or oikonomos of the Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia; while he was assisted by a certain Tirchilă. For some years, the surrounding area was a village called Tirchilești, incorporated into Bucharest by 1789. Local tradition holds that the church initially served a skete of monks, which ceased to exist when the city extended its boundaries, transforming the building into a parish church. In 1880, it was extended and a wooden dome added. Repairs took place in 1898 and 1903. The interior was painted in fresco in 1949–1953, while exterior repainting was carried out in 1955. The church measures 22 meters long by 6–10 meters wide, and is situated on an elevation. It is cross-shaped, with polygonal exterior apses, an octagonal dome above the nave and, above the narthex, a square bell tower. The latter is topped by a cross sitting on a small roof lantern supported by four slender columns. Interior columns were demolished, while the formerly open portico is entirely closed by masonry, ending in a flat facade with two small pylons at the ends. The exterior was frequently modified as well: the string course does not survive, and the sides feature arches in the lower part, medallions in the upper. The entrance is flanked by icons of Saints Peter and Paul. Two rows of seven saints each, with floral decorations, sit above the entrance, as does the patron saint's icon. The church owns a restored Gospel Book and relics of Saints Paraskeva of the Balkans, Stephen, John the New of Suceava and the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, all displayed in a silver hand. It is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Bathsheba A. Benedict (1809-1897) was a Baptist philanthropist from Pawtucket, Rhode Island who was a co-founder, benefactor, and namesake of Benedict College, an historically black college, in South Carolina. Bathsheba Adams Barber (Benedict) was born in Bellingham, Massachusetts in 1809. In 1830 she married Stephen Benedict, a banker, mill owner, Baptist church deacon, and early abolitionist from Pawtucket. Her husband died in a fire in 1868. Using proceeds from her husband's insurance policy and estate and with a donation from her brother-in-law, Bathsheba Benedict coordinated a donation of several thousand dollars to the American Baptist Home Mission Society to start a Baptist school for freed slaves in the South. By 1870 Benedict represented the Home Mission Society, and provided the $13,000.00 to purchase a former plantation property in Columbia, South Carolina to use for the school campus, which was named in her honor. Benedict died in 1897 and was buried in the Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island.

Lytham St Annes Town Hall is a municipal building on the South Promenade in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. The structure, which is used as the headquarters of Fylde Borough Council, is a locally listed building. History The building was originally commissioned by William John Porritt through his development business, the St Anne's on the Sea Land and Building Company, for use as the "Southdown Hydro Hotel": it has been described by the Lytham St Annes Civic Society as "one of the best examples of a Porritt development". It was designed in the Victorian style, built in stone quarried in East Lancashire and was completed in 1898. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with six bays facing onto the South Promenade; the third bay from the left featured a porch with a round headed entrance flanked by pairs of colonettes supporting a moulded architrave. The building was fenestrated, on the lower two floors of the outer bays, by square headed bay windows, on the lower two floors of the second and fourth bays, by canted bay windows and, on the second floor, by two-light pedimented sash windows. The bays were all gabled, with the outer bays featuring large gables than the inner bays. The interior decoration included Minton tiles on the walls and fine stained glass windows. The proprietor, a Mrs Spyree, claimed that the building enjoyed "the best situation facing pier and sea." In 1922, St Anne's-on-the-Sea Urban District Council merged with Lytham Urban District Council to form Lytham St Annes Metropolitan Borough. Lytham Urban District Council did not have a permanent headquarters at that time and St Anne's Public Offices were not large enough to accommodate the enlarged authority, so the new civic leaders decided to acquire the Southdown Hydro Hotel which was conveniently located just to the rear of the old public offices. The former hotel was converted and brought into use as "a modern and well-equipped town hall" in 1925. Internally, the principal new room created was the council chamber. In June 1925, John Booth of the local grocery business, Booths, donated a painting by the artist, Richard Ansdell, depicting a young girl with a sheepdog and a herd of sheep. It was given to the council on condition that it be hung in the council chamber. This painting entitled "the Herd Lassie" was the start of the Lytham St Annes Art Collection which was assembled following further donations by other members of the Booth family, by the former mayor, Alderman James Herbert Dawson, and by other benefactors. The building went on to became the local seat of government for the enlarged Fylde District Council in 1974.

Morris Soller (1931) is a research professor in the Department of Genetics of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is especially interested in livestock- and crop- genetics including trypanotolerance in cattle. Early life and education Soller was born in 1931 in Manhattan, New York City, USA At the age of 12 he was first inspired to learn about genetics by reading The Theory of the Gene by Thomas Hunt Morgan. While an undergraduate he read Jay Laurence Lush's Animal Breeding Plans and learned much from it and interestingly would receive the award named for Lush 50 years later see below. Soller also learned much from the writings of Ronald Fisher and Sewall Wright during this time. In 1951 he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture and then in 1956 both a Master's Degree in Applied Statistics and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Animal Breeding from Rutgers University. He would later return to his birth country for further postdoctoral education at Indiana University and Roosevelt University in biochemistry. Research and teaching career In 1957 he was hired by the Volcani Center as their senior scientist for animal breeding and by Bar-Ilan University as a senior lecturer of Biology and Genetics. He moved his family to Israel where they have lived most of their lives since. Between 1966 and 1972 Soller was a lecturer at Roosevelt University in the USA. In 1972 he returned to Israel to lecture at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in their Department of Genetics. He would eventually become a full professor and emeritus professor in 2000. He has since continued actively in lecturing and research including sabbaticals as the Cotswold Visiting Scientist at Iowa State University, at the University of Illinois and elsewhere. Soller is the originator of quantitative trait locus mapping and marker-assisted selection. He began noticing the statistical patterns and composing the mathematical tools that would be required for these techniques in 1974, while studying crop genetics and livestock genetics. He went on to collaborate with his students and peers to create the F2, backcrossing, full sib, half sib, granddaughter, AIL and selective DNA pooling techniques in QTL mapping. Along with other laboratories around the world, his group developed some of the earliest restriction fragment length polymorphism markers for cattle and microsatellite markers for chickens. He has especially become known for using these techniques to analyse trypanotolerance in cattle, especially in the N'Dama breed. Soller has also applied QTL analysis to dairy traits and Marek's disease. His doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers number over 50 .

Jan Pietersz Graeff (Amsterdam, 1512 - there, 1553) was an Amsterdam regent and cloth merchant from the 16th century. Biography Jan Pietersz Graeff was the son of Pieter Graeff, the first known representative of the Dutch De Graeff family. Pieter was probably a son of Wolfgang von Graben from the Von Graben family. It is uncertain which one was the first Graeff active in Amsterdam [Pieter or Jan]. Jans mother was Griet Pietersdr Berents descendant from Wouter Berensz and his wife Dieuwer Willemsz de Grebber, called Berents, of the De Grebber family, baljuws of the Waterland, and Willem Eggert, stadtholder of Holland. Jan Pietersz Graeff married to Stein Braseman and had five sons who survived their childhood: Pieter Jansz Graeff (died before 1547), married Maria Jacobsdr Dobbens Lenaert Jansz de Graeff (about 1530–35 - before 1578), he may be the same person as Monseigneur de Graeff, from Bruges, a water geus in the Eighty Years' War. In recent historical books, De Graeff is treated as one of the leaders of the Sea beggars. His character was also used in a historical novel about his friend Hendrick van Brederode, De Grote Geus. Dirk Jansz Graeff (1532-1589), mayor of Amsterdam Cornelis Pieter Jansz Graeff, he remained unmarried Jacob Jansz Graeff (died after 1580), he married Geertge Claes Coppensdr van Ouder Amstel, the couple had three children; Jacob Jansz had an extramarital son too: Styntje Jacobsdr Graeff Jan Jacobsz Graeff (born around 1570/75), founder of a family branch in Alblasserdam; father of Claes Jansz Graeff, grandfather of Albert Claesz de Graeff (born around 1620), rear admiral at the Admiralty of Amsterdam Claes Jacobsz Graeff Adriaan Jacobsz Graeff, illegitimate son who had descendants, who are said to have moved to Prussia, Saxony and Austria Graeff lived in a house on Damrak, called Huis De Keyser, which was owned by his descendants for centuries. His sons Lenaert, Dirk and Jacob ran a hardware store in the house called De Keyzershoed (Huis de Keyser) in the[Niezel (a street), where the Imperial Crown later hung. There he ran a cloth trade, and in 1539 he was chief of the Guild of the Amsterdam cloth merchants. Graeff also traded in Antwerp, the former warehouse of English cloth. When he wanted to establish himself as a trader in North Brabant, his sons intervened to return him to Amsterdam soon. In 1542 he became a councilor and in 1543 he was appointed alderman (Schepen) of Amsterdam. Due to its political activities, the De Graeff family is one of the few patrician families to sit in government before and after the Amsterdam Alteratie of 1578. Joost van den Vondel called Graeff in his verse Aen den hooghedelen heer Pieter de Graef, vryheer van Zuitpolsbroek, op den oorsprongk van het geslagt der graven "den braven" (the good one). Vondel also commemorated him in his Mengeldicht. References 1512 births 1553 deaths Jan Pietersz, Graeff Nobility from Amsterdam

2 Blues for Cecil is an album by drummer Andrew Cyrille, bassist William Parker, and trumpeter Enrico Rava. It was recorded in February 2021 at Studios Ferber in Paris, France, and was released by TUM Records in January 2022. The album is a tribute to pianist Cecil Taylor, with whom all three musicians played; despite this, it does not feature a piano, and does not "attempt to reanimate or imitate Cecil Taylor's style of playing." Reception In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "This group's innate, perhaps even cellular understanding of Taylor's theories are illustrated colorfully and energetically, without attempting to match the pianist's fluid intensity... This trio may not attempt to imitate Taylor's approach, but they do reveal the intricate dimensions in his aesthetic, while simultaneously reflecting and celebrating the long reach of his influence." Writing for All About Jazz, Dan McClenaghan commented: "This trio does not try to match the scattershot, free flying wildness of Taylor. Their approach is a measured and spacious thing. Where Taylor sent piano notes and the collective cacophonies of his bands colliding off the quasars in the furthest reaches of the galaxy, Cyrille, Parker and Rava have found a closer star and set up a steady orbit." In a separate AAJ review, Karl Ackermann stated: "There is a native talent that comes with being top-tier members of the elite old guard of avant-garde and free jazz. For all their collective experiences and influences, Cyrille, Parker, and Rava are beholding to no particular inspiration. Their invoking of Taylor is simply an acclamation of the unprecedented spirit of his creativity. They summon Taylor's essence and do so stunningly, without going quite as far into the unknown as Taylor would likely have ventured. 2 Blues For Cecil offers a metaphorical calm within the storm that embodied the pianist." John Garratt, writing for PopMatters, remarked: "it's strange to end 2 Blues for Cecil with a standard, let alone one as old as 'My Funny Valentine'. But similar to Miles Davis' reading of the same tune, this one won't cause you to jump out of your chair and shout 'Show tune!' The trio of Cyrille, Parker, and Rava give it the same bluesy treatment as the previously mentioned improvisations. And if you think Taylor himself wouldn’t have approved of such a coda, Parker disagrees. 'He was not avant-garde; he was a human being who loves life and music,' he states in the liner notes. 'He would not be boxed in by the music world's value system that asks artists to conform to their standards.' By that yardstick, Cecil should be smiling right about now." Glide Magazine's Jim Hynes commented: "Using the principles of space and the notion of 'Sing' - not focusing directly on pitch, dynamics, or rhythm but fusing these dimensions, along with tone, texture, and spirit into an energy flow is the essence of this trio's approach. It's what they learned from Taylor. Within lies some awe-inspiring performances but some beautiful moments too... Some fans of avant-garde or free jazz even find Cecil Taylor's music a bit inaccessible, let alone the mainstream crowd. Don't let that be a deterrent here. Cyrille, Parker, and Rava deliver beautifully executed music that is enthralling throughout." In an article for WBGO Afternoon Jazz, Nate Chinen wrote: "All three improvisers spent important stretches playing with Taylor, though at different times. And their approach with this putative tribute is less about emulation than acknowledgment; they're honoring a common touchstone by being most fully themselves. The album includes some blues and ballads... — and a bristling take on 'Ballerina,' which Rava composed more than 30 years ago. Listen to the way these musicians effervesce through the tune, and the Cecil connection should be clear." A review by Michael Ullman in The Arts Fuse stated: "The trio shares Taylor's love of rational freedom and adventure, but it doesn't try to reproduce the pianist's rip-roaring intensity. 2 Blues for Cecil is a genial set, its silences as intriguing as its flurries of notes. There are a number of lovely improvised melodies — sprightly, clever, and even transparent interactions... the players are independent, out of the box. Yet they also sound beautifully together." Writing for The Big Takeover, Michael Toland remarked: "each player knows that emulating Taylor's style is not the way to pay proper tribute to his spirit. Taylor's art encouraged others to channel their own unfiltered vision, rather than attempt to copy him, and it's a notion embraced by his former bandmates. That's not to say that Cyrille, Parker and Rava don't indulge in free improv – of course they do. But there's nothing here that sounds like Unit Structures or Nefertiti, The Beautiful One Has Come. (Note the lack of piano.)... Taylor celebrated the creative impulse by eschewing any barriers on how it could be expressed. While not nearly as boundary-obliterating as Taylor himself – who could be, after all? – Cyrille, Parker and Rava nonetheless stay true to that ideal, letting their own instincts guide the music to an uncommon sphere all their own."

The San Giovanni dei Napoletani (English: St John of the Neapolitans is a late-Baroque or neoclassical church of Palermo. It is located in the quarter of Kalsa (Tribunali) of the historic centre of Palermo. It is located diagonally in front of the church of Santa Maria della Catena. History A church was originally founded in 1527 by the confraternity of San Giovanni Battista la Nazione Napoletana, which ministered to the merchants from Naples in Palermo. It is not surprising that it was located adjacent to the harbor where to boats would move cargo. A few years before, the merchants had begun construction of a church near a castle guarding the harbor, but the emperor Charles V had ordered the demolition to amplify the fort, leading to new construction here. The church was completed in 1617. In 1925, the church changed hands to belong to the Confraternita della Carità, and was then used as a storage for works from the nearby Galleria Regionale di Palazzo Abatellis. Recently it has been reconsecrated and placed under the care of the Order of Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem (Cavalieri del Tempio di Gerusalemme). The Western facade facing Via Vittorio Emanuele is narrow and minimally conspicuous, as it smooths the acute angle of this end of the church. The Southeastern (right) flank of the church has a secondary facade facing the Giardino Garibaldi of the Piazza Marina. At the apse, is a low octagonal dome with colorful maiolica tiles. The nave is separated from the aisles by slender marble columns. The apse has two chapels, dedicated to the Holy Spirit and the Glory of God the Father. The latter chapel has a Holy Family by an unknown author. The interiors have a restrained stucco decoration, leaning towards neoclassicism, and completed by Procopio Serpotta. He also completed the apse statuary of the four virtues: Prudence and Temperance on the left and Justice and Fortitude on the right. The right nave has a funeral monument dedicated to Tommaso Trabucco (1690-1761), rector of the confraternity. The nave ceiling once had a fresco depicting St John the Baptist by Giuseppe Salerno. The church once had altarpieces depicting an Annunciation and Holy Trinity by Giuseppe Albina. References Roman Catholic churches in Palermo 16th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Italy

Five Israeli heavy battle tanks and four Armoured personnel carrier's (APC's) were destroyed in the Second Intifada, in the Gaza strip. Five of the armored vehicles were destroyed by remote-controlled mines and four by rocket-propelled grenades (RPG). Two Israeli officers and 22 other Israeli soldiers were killed in the attacks, one was abducted and at least nine wounded. One of the Merkava III and the two APC's that were destroyed by RPG fire hitting the ‘soft spot’ of the rear exit door. The first Israeli tank to be destroyed in the Second Intifada was February 14, 2002 on the Karni-Netzarim road in the Israeli-occupied Gaza strip. An escorted convoy of settlers were attacked by an explosive charge and small-arms fire but none were injured. A heavy Merkava III battle tank was sent as reinforcements. The tank went over a pre-positioned remote-controlled powerful mine, which totally destroyed the tank, killing three of the crewmen. About a month later a second Merkava tank was blown up in similar fashion in the same area, leading to another three Israeli fatalities. The tank commander as well as two other soldiers were killed.

Sister Mary Melanie Holliday (born Martha Ann "Mattie" Holliday; December 14, 1850 - April 19, 1939) was an American Catholic nun. As a member of the Sisters of Mercy, she served as Mother Superior at the Convent and Academy of St. Vincent de Paul in Savannah and at the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta. While living in the convent in Savannah, she worked as a schoolteacher in the affiliated academy. When Holliday moved to the convent in Atlanta, she worked as a nurse at St. Joseph's Infirmary. She is believed to be the inspiration behind Melanie Hamilton and Carreen O'Hara in the novel Gone With the Wind, which was written by her second cousin once-removed, Margaret Mitchell. Biography Holliday was born Martha Ann Holliday in Jonesboro, Georgia on December 14, 1850. She was one of eight children of Captain Robert Kennedy Holliday, a Confederate military officer and quartermaster who served in the 7th Georgia Infantry during the American Civil War, and Mary Anne Fitzgerald, whose family owned Rural Home Plantation. She was a cousin of the gambler and gunfighter John Henry "Doc" Holliday and of the landowner and businesswoman Annie Fitzgerald Stephens. She had a close relationship with Doc Holliday, frequently writing to him throughout her life. During the Civil War, Holliday and her mother and siblings took refuge in Valdosta on the farm of her uncle, Henry Burroughs Holliday. They stayed in Valdosta from October 1864 until the war ended in May 1865. She entered the Sisters of Mercy at the Convent and Academy of St. Vincent de Paul in Savannah, Georgia in 1883, taking the name Mary Melanie, after Saint Melania the Younger. She was a member of the order for fifty-six years. After living in the convent in Savannah, she taught at Sacred Heart School in Augusta and later became the mother superior there. She then served as Superior of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta and worked as a nurse at St. Joseph's Infirmary. She was often visited by her second cousin, Maybelle Stephens Mitchell, and her cousin's daughter, Margaret Mitchell. She died at the age of eighty-eight at St. Joseph's Infirmary and is buried in the Sisters of Mercy lot in Westview Cemetery. Holliday was the inspiration behind the character Melanie Hamilton, and possibly Carreen O'Hara, in the novel Gone With the Wind.
