Jadu Heart is an English electronic music duo consisting of Diva-Sachy Jeffrey and Alex Headford.
Description
The duo is known for their conceptual storytelling through their characters (Jeffery as Dina and Headford as Faro) and their "theatrical" masks seen donned during their live performances and press runs.
The group formed as a result of a project assigned to Jeffery and Headford while studying at The British and Irish Modern Music Institute. The project, which tasked the class to depict a 'cycle' audibly, led Jadu Heart to create their first EP, Wanderflower. According to Jeffery, “Every song in our first EP corresponds to a different chapter in [Dina and Faro's] story.”

Santa Chiara all'Albergaria refers to a church and former monastery located in piazza Santa Chiara, in the quarter of Albergaria in the city of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. The church is located near the busy outdoor Ballarò marketplace.
History
The monastery was built atop the remains of the ruins of the Carthaginian walls of the ancient town. In 1344, during the Aragonese rule of Sicily, under the patronage of Matteo Sclafani, count of Sclafani e Adernò, a church for Clarissan nuns was built adjacent to their cloistered monastery. The church underwent a major refurbishment in 1678. In 1919, the convent was granted to the Salesian order.
The church was heavily damaged during the Allied bombardment of Palermo in 1943. The prior facade was a rich baroque front designed by Paolo Amato and decorated with solomonic columns and a statue of St Clare of Assisi. The present facade utilized the portal of the former church of the Madonna delle Grazie dei Macellai once located on Piazzetta dei Caldomai. The flanking baroque bell-tower did survive the bombardment.
Art and Architecture
The church has a single nave with shallow side chapels and a semicircular apse. The side chapels have lost some of their past decoration, which can still be seen in the apse.
The first chapel on the right, dedicated to St Clare, has an altarpiece (1713) by Olivio Sozzi. It was donated by the nuns from the monastery of Valverde in the 1719. The second chapel on the right, dedicated to the Crucifix, has an Crucifixion with Mary, St John, and Mary Magdalen (1748) painted by Gaspare Serenari.
A Pietà painted by Pietro Novelli, was once present here, but now is on display in the Museo Diocesano of Palermo. The partly allegorical frescoes in the apse are attributed to Paolo Martorana, depict Christ granting the keys to St Peter. In the half-dome of the apse, Gaspare Fumagalli painted a Triumph of the Ark of Alliance (circa 1749). Antonio Grano painted the Triumph of the Cross (1678) for the cupola ceiling. The spandrels are painted with female allegories of the four cardinal virtues.
The main altar is made with precious stones (lapis-lazuli, agate, and amethyst and colored marbles) and gilded bronze. walls with four paintings by Guglielmo Borremans. Various busts of female saints overlook the altar including Saints Rosalia, Restituta, Margaret of Scotland and St Elizabeth of Portugal.

Angela Valdes, portrayed by Lela Loren, is a fictional character from the Starz original television drama series Power. She was a latina federal prosecutor whose goal and mission was to solve the mystery behind the infamous 'Ghost' til she realized she has been in love with him the entire time.
Valdes was caught in a crossfire and took a bullet for her lover James 'Ghost' St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), she was mistakenly murdered by Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) after Egan found out Ghost was working with Valdes to put him away for the murder of his father Tony Teresi (William Sadler).
Angela, Tommy and James grew up together in Jamaica, Queens and attended the same school where she dated the latter, James. However, she moved abroad for 18 years to further her studies which resulted in cutting all ties with James until she found her way back to him in New York.
Backstory
Valdes was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens where she met her childhood friends, Tommy Egan and James St. Patrick. They went to the same school where Angela dated James. She moved from Queens to further her studies and after almost two decades fate led her to her high school lover in the New York City. Angela was the younger sister of Paz Valdes (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and the daughter of Nestor Valdes (Jamie Tirelli).
Series information
Series information dissected into seasons
Season 1
Valdes landed an attorney job in New York where Ghost and Tommy opened their night club, Truth. Her main goal was to put Filipe Lobos behind bars through any means necessary, she had Nomar Arcielo (Vinicius Zorin-Machado) as an informant to get nearly all the locations and dates of the rendezvous the Lobos Cartel and other drug dealers were conducting.
Although she was in love with her then boyfriend, Greg Knox (Andy Bean), things changed the very minute she gazed at Ghost. However, Ghost was married to Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton) with three kids ( Tariq St. Patrick, portrayed by Michael Rainey Jr.) but that simply could not stand in the way of the love they shared together.
Valdes thought that since it was almost impossible to nail Lobos (Enrique Murciano) for drug trafficking, it would be better to get him through his distributers which Normar identified as Ghost after they made him wear a wire.
While Ghost was more fixated on going legitimately and open a new night club in Miami, Egan had other plans since they're business was always by Kanan Stark (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) from the inside, Ruiz (Luis Antonio Ramos) was stabbed half to death by Pink Sneakers (portrayed by Leslie Lopez). Pink Sneakers was working for Kanan and her mission was to assassinate Ghost, which she missed at TRUTH and mistakenly shot Holly Weaver (portrayed by Lucy Walters).
Normar lost focus of what's important and Ruiz found out about him and her daughter, Ruiz sent Egan after Normar to murder him, Normar tried reaching out Valdes sadly she was preoccupied and Normar met his maker in Queens were he spooked Tommy by calling him Ghost. Normar fed Valdes false information about Ghost and he face identified half of Tommy Egan's face to the sketch artist before his demise.
Season 2
Angela and her federal colleagues put had Egan's girlfriend, Holly Weaver in custody to ask her what she knows about Ghost that's when Angela stumbled across a crucial information she couldn't handle which is that her lover James St. Patrick is the real Ghost. Holly sold out James and treated to tell on Angela that she is sleeping with the real Ghost to her federal colleagues but Angela wanted to save her skin and her lover's too. She made a deal with Holly Weaver to bring the murder weapon that was used to kill Roller but she couldn't find it.
Ghost was threatened by the presence of Holly as Egan trusted her and let her in on too much information concerning their drug dealing company, Ghost gave Holly a lot of money and fake ID to relocate and never come back.
Valdes thought her informant was murdered since she couldn't be found so she confronted James about the situation and he told her the fake name that Holly used to escape, Angela found her but Holly was futile to her.
While she was still pursuing the lead to indicting Filipe Lobos, she copied James's phone and got intel on everything Ghost was doing. With that being said, the duplicate phone led her to a location where Tommy Egan had a rendezvous set up for exchanging cash and drug, Tommy and Lobos where caught red handed with big bags full of cash and drugs and so they were incarcerated.
James St. Patrick hired Proctor to defend Egan in the court of law but Egan was way in too deep and was looking at a life in prison for being Ghost. However, James did not see that happening as he stole files of hidden and unauthorized evidence from Angela's apartment and handed them to Proctor to burn Angela in court, and just like that Tommy Egan happened to be a free man and Angela was at the depths of losing her job.
Greg Knox has suspicions that James St. Patrick might be the real Ghost, he confronted Valdes with the information he gathered, they tried to build a case against James through the night but Valdes had other plans.
Valdes focused on the trivial and lost side of what's most important.
Angela did not picture James in a orange uniform and so she went through and stabbed her ex-lover co-worker in the back to save Ghost by building a case against him for stalking her, therefore Greg was suspended effective immediately.
James went out of his way to make things work with Angela Valdes by cutting ties with contact he was affiliated with (by murdering most of them after he sent Lobos to jail with Tommy), cut off the drug dealing business and was left off with the night clubs which are legitimately active.
Angela continued seeing Ghost even after verifying his identity and everything. Greg also continued stalking Angela and threatened her that she will go down with Ghost.
Season 3
Valdes outed federal Intel to Ghost that Lobos was still alive after Ghost attempted murder upon Lobos through Lobos's inmates. Agent Greg Knox continued pursuing Angela and Ghost collecting information trying to connect the dots to prove that James St. Patrick is the real Ghost. However, Angela kept protecting the identity of Ghost in order to herself as she was in a relationship with a notorious drug lord.
Angela happened to have a fall out with Ghost concerning their differences of a federal agent seeing a drug distributor, Ghost cut off Angela to sort his problems with Lobos.
When Lobos was being transferred to another facility accompanied by Knox, Tommy Egan and Ghost hijacked the transport, shot Greg Knox in the process and helped Lobos escape from the federal agents only to kill him.
Greg Knox threatened to apprehend Ruiz if he does not cooperate or rather accept wearing a wire around Egan, Ghost and the other dealers, Ruiz accepted but Egan found out that Ruiz had ulterior motives to kill his connect and for that Egan stabbed Ruiz to death.
Ghost broke into Greg's apartment looking for a tape that Greg has given to Ruiz to record Tommy Egan and James St. Patrick to prove the identity of Ghost to be James St. Patrick but he found nothing but he mistakenly left his fingerprints on the window when he was leaving.
Greg found a tip that Mike Sandoval (portrayed by David Fumero) was the leak in the investigation of the murder of Filipe Lobos and he was planning to open a case against Mike but Mike had different plans, Mike murdered Greg Knox and planted evidence stating that Greg Knox was the leak. The Lobos case was closed as the leak and suspect were both dead but Angela found the prints on the window and ran them for a match and found out it was Ghost, Angela then went to TRUTH, Ghost was happy to see Angela but unfortunately Angela was there to apprehend Ghost for the murder of Greg Knox of which Ghost knew nothing about.

Richard Austen Butler (9 December 1902 – 8 March 1982), generally known as R. A. Butler and familiarly known from his initials as Rab, was a prominent British Conservative politician.
Butler was born in British India to a family of distinguished Cambridge University academics. As a child his right hand was permanently disabled in a riding accident. He was educated at Marlborough College and at Cambridge, where he was president of the Cambridge Union Society and, after initially reading French and German, graduated with an outstanding first class degree in History.
After graduating he taught briefly as a Cambridge don and married into the wealthy Courtauld family. Butler was elected to Parliament for Saffron Walden in Essex at the 1929 general election, and held the seat until his retirement from the House of Commons in 1965.
Early life
Butler was born in Attock Khurd, Attock, British India, to Sir Montagu Sherard Dawes Butler of the Indian Civil Service and his wife, Anne Gertrude (née Smith). Butler's mother was the daughter of George Smith who was Principal of the Doveton Boys College in Calcutta.
Butler's paternal family had a long and distinguished association with the University of Cambridge, dating back to his great-grandfather George Butler. Especially notable were Butler's grand-uncle Henry Montagu Butler (Master of Trinity College and Dean of Gloucester) and Sir Geoffrey G. Butler, a Cambridge historian and Conservative MP for the university, Butler's uncle and a particular early influence on him. Butler's father was a Fellow, and in later life the Master, of Pembroke College.
In July 1909, at the age of six, his right arm was broken in three places in a riding accident. The injury was aggravated by a burn from a hot water bottle and an attempt to straighten the arm by hanging weights from it, leaving his hand not fully functional.
Butler attended Brockhurst preparatory school but refused to attend Harrow, where many of his family had been educated. He failed to win a scholarship to Eton, and so he attended Marlborough College. He left Marlborough at the end of 1920, a week after his 18th birthday, and spent five months in France with a Protestant pastor in Abbeville. He returned briefly to England to sit the exams for Pembroke College, Cambridge, where in June 1921 he won an exhibition worth £20 per annum (around £1,000 at 2014 prices), then returned to France to be tutor to the son of Robert de Rothschild. His plan at this stage was to enter the Diplomatic Service.
As a child of Empire, from his mid-teens onwards, Butler was expected to look after his younger siblings, arranging for them to stay with relatives during school holidays and sending them Christmas presents that he pretended had been sent by their parents. His sister was the writer Iris Mary Butler (1905–2002), who became Iris Portal upon her marriage, and her elder daughter is Jane Williams, Baroness Williams of Elvel, the mother of Justin Welby, the current Archbishop of Canterbury. Butler's younger brother Jock, a Home Office civil servant and Pilot Officer, was killed in a plane crash in January 1943.
Cambridge
Butler studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge, starting in October 1921, initially reading Medieval and Modern Languages. He soon became active in student politics, being elected to the Committee of the Cambridge Union Society by the end of his first year. At the end of his second year, he was elected Secretary for Michaelmas (autumn term) 1923 at his second attempt, by the narrow margin of 10 votes out of 500. At that time, Secretary was the only office normally contested, putting him on track to be Vice-President for Lent 1924 and President for Easter (summer term) 1924. At the end of his second year (June 1923), he achieved a First in French Part I and was awarded an £80 scholarship to supplement his £300 parental allowance (approximately £4,000 and £15,000 at 2014 prices).
Butler suffered a nervous breakdown that summer and had to postpone his plans to study History to a fourth year, taking a less strenuous course in German in the meantime. He spent part of the summer of 1923 abroad learning German, and became unusually fluent in the language, impressing his hosts with his near-native syntax. He also came to feel that the Germans had been harshly treated in the recent Treaty of Versailles.
In Michaelmas 1923, as Secretary, he persuaded the Cambridge Union to affiliate to the National Union of Students, of which he became a vice-president. Psychiatric illness was then still little understood. In November 1923 his college put him in the care of a doctor and in December 1923 his uncle Cyril sent him to a specialist in Bristol, after which he made a recovery from his breakdown. On 11 March 1924, after taking office as president of the Cambridge Union, he entertained the Leader of the Opposition, Stanley Baldwin, at the Change of Officers Debate to oppose the motion that "This House has the Highest Regard for Rhetoric". The following morning, Rab had to escort Baldwin back to the railway station, where, according to one version of the story, Baldwin bought him a copy of Something Fresh by P. G. Wodehouse with an admonition not to take life too seriously. At the end of his third year (1924), he received a Second in German. He graduated as a BA in 1924.
In the summer of 1924 Butler took part in the ESU USA Tour, a seven-week debating tour of Canada and the United States organised by the English-Speaking Union. They debated two motions: democracy versus personal liberty and closer relations with the Soviet Union.
During his fourth year at Cambridge (1924–25), he concentrated on study, reading for Part II in History and International Law. He was able to use notes which his uncle Geoffrey had prepared for a planned book on International Law. He later recorded that in his International Law exam, he had been dissatisfied with his essays, and at half time, tore up his answers and wrote six fresh ones on six sheets of foolscap. In History, he took the Peel special subject, at one point knowing by name which way every Conservative MP voted in the split over the Irish Coercion Bill of 1846. He received one of the highest firsts in the university across all subjects, known at the time as a "I:I".
After graduating, Butler was a fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge from 1925 to 1929. He gave lectures on the politics of the French Third Republic.
Private and family life
Butler married Sydney Elizabeth Courtauld on 20 April 1926. She was the daughter of Samuel Courtauld and heiress to part of the Courtauld textile fortune. His father-in-law awarded him a private income of £5,000 a year after tax for life, the equivalent of a Cabinet Minister's salary, and equivalent to almost £260,000 at 2014 prices.
The Butlers lived at Stanstead Hall and, in 1938, they moved into 3 Smith Square, which remained Butler's London base throughout his career. During the Second World War, Butler was bombed out of Smith Square and stayed with his Parliamentary Private Secretary Henry "Chips" Channon in Belgrave Square.
The Butlers' children were
Sir Richard C. Butler (1929–2012), president (1979–86) of the National Farmers' Union of England and Wales;
Adam Courtauld Butler (1931–2008), who was also a politician;
Samuel James Butler (1936–2015); and
Sarah Teresa Butler (born 1944).
Following the death of his wife from cancer in 1954, Butler married Mollie Courtauld (née Montgomerie) on 21 October 1959. She had been married to Augustine Courtauld (Sydney's cousin), who had died in March 1959.
The Butlers inherited Gatcombe Park from Samuel Courtauld in 1949. In 1976, it was sold to the Queen as a home for Princess Anne, for a sum between £300,000 and £750,000 (Howard gives the figure as "more than £500,000"). He recorded that the Royal Family had driven a hard bargain but joked in public that he was "glad it was going to a good family".
Early political career
In his autobiography, The Art of the Possible, Butler attributed his political gifts to his grandmother Mary Kendall of Pelyn, Lostwithiel, Cornwall. He wrote a lengthy paragraph on the Kendall family, who had served in Parliament since 1368 and had been active in politics for many generations. It has been remarked of this family that they have perhaps sent more members to the British Parliament than any other in the United Kingdom.
In summer 1926 Butler resigned his residential Cambridge fellowship to go on a honeymoon tour of the world, becoming instead a supernumerary fellow. He renewed his contact with Leo Amery, whom he had met in July 1924 at a British Empire Students Conference, and who now put him in touch with contacts in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Whilst in Vancouver in June 1927, he learned of a vacancy for the safe Conservative seat of Saffron Walden, and returned from Quebec by sea on 31 August 1927; Courtauld connections arranged for him to be selected unopposed as the Conservative candidate on 26 November 1927. Butler toured local villages showing films of his Empire tours.
Butler was elected in the 1929 general election, and retained the seat until his retirement in 1965.

Yara Haridy is an Egyptian-Canadian paleontologist and scientific communicator who specializes in the use of advanced analytical methods to study the evolution of bone and related skeletal tissues.
Biography
Haridy was born in Morocco and lived in Egypt until her family moved to Canada when she was 12 years old. She obtained her B.Sc. in biology from the University of Toronto in 2016, where she originally intended to pursue the pre-medicine track en route to a medical career, followed by her M.Sc. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Toronto in 2018, where she studied the evolution of acrodonty in reptiles. She obtained her Ph.D. from Humboldt University of Berlin and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin under the supervision of Florian Witzmann and Nadia Fröbisch in 2021.
Academic contributions
Haridy's research primarily focuses on the evolution of bone and other skeletal tissues. She has extensive experience studying the evolution of different forms of dentition and tooth replacement, primarily in extinct and extant reptiles, as well as paleopathologies. Her research methods include bone histology, computed tomography (CT), and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). Some of her most notable work includes the identification of the earliest occurrence of a viral induced metabolic disease (Paget's disease), the earliest occurrence of bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in an amniote (in the stem turtle Pappochelys), and the morphological characterization of osteocytes in early fish that could be linked to physiological advantages of osteocytes that led to the modern day prevalence of osteocytic bone among vertebrates. Her work has been published in several leading international scientific journals, including Biology Letters, Scientific Reports, Systematic Biology, Science Advances, and JAMA Oncology, with over 140 citations to date, and has received extensive media coverage, including from international outlets such as National Geographic, the New York Times, the Smithsonian Magazine, Science Magazine, the Toronto Star, and Newsweek.

Kathivanoor Veeran is a deity worshiped in North Malabar region in Kerala, India. The word 'Veeran' in Malayalam means 'Hero' in English. According to the myths, Kathivanoor Veeran is apotheosis of Thiyya warrior Mandappan. Mandappan's life and his transformation into god are still active in the folklore of Kolathunadu region, and is practiced as theyyam in various temples in present-day Kannur and Kasaragod districts. Kathivanoor Veeran Theyyam is one of the most popular Theyyams in North Malabar. Girls of North Malabar region worship Kathivanoor Veeran to get a healthy husband.
Myth
Mandappan (also spelled as Mannappan) who later became the deity Kathivanoor Veeran was born to Kumarachan of Mangad Methaliyillam house and Chaki Amma of Parakayillam house. It is said that Mandappan, a resident of present-day Mangad in Kannur district was born with the blessings of goddess Chuzali. He was skilled in martial arts, and wanted to become a warrior. Instead of going to work, he hunted deer and quail in the woods with his friends. Although Kumarachan forbids the family from giving rice and milk to his son, who is not working, mother Chaki secretly gave him rice out of love for his son. Kumarachan gets angry when he sees this and he breaks his son Mandappan's bow.
Saddened by this, Mandappan leaves home and joins his friends who are going to Kodagu hills for business. They give him alcohol and leave the place without taking him. After waking up from his alcoholism, Mandappan wandered alone and finally reached his uncle's house in Kathivanoor. He starts living there, and over time, he gets half of his uncle's property. On the advice of his aunt, he starts an oil business and in the meantime meets and marries Velarkot Chemmarathi.
After starting to live in his wife's house, she used to quarrel with Mandappan, who was often late at home. On an unfortunate day, his last, he gets into a quarrel with her and she curses him for being late. When Mandappan heard that an army was coming from Kodagu to attack his village, he took up arms, saluted the deities and went to war. There was a fierce battle with the soldiers from Kodagu.
Mandappan was won the battle, but on his way back home he realizes that he has lost his pedestal ring and little finger during the battle. Although his friends tried to hold him back, telling him never to go to the battlefield alone, he goes back to recover it. The fighters from Kodagu, who were in a state of defeat, deceitfully kill Mandappan on his return. Chemmarathi waiting for Mandappan saw the pedestal ring and little finger fall on the banana leaf. Chemmarathi commits suicide (see Sati (practice)) by jumping into Mandappan's pyre.
When the uncle and son Annukkan return after their funeral, they see Mandappan and Chemmarathi who have become gods. Mandappan's Theyyam is performed for the first time in the presence of his uncle, who names the theyyam as Kathivanoor Veeran. This is the myth behind Kathivanoor Veeran.
Kathivanoor Veeran Theyyam
Kathivanur Veeran theyyam is characterized by its dynamic movement and flexibility. This Theyyam is usually performed at night or in very early morning. The specially prepared cell where Kathivanoor Veeran theyyam performs is made of banana and multi-colored dyes and sticks with fire and is known as Chemmarathi thara. The concept is that it is his wife Chemmarathi. Its sixty-four cells are a reminder that Kathivanur Veeran's body was thrown into sixty-four pieces in the treachery of the Kodakars. Theyyam's face art is known as Nakam Thazhthi Ezhuthu. There will be beards and mustaches in the face.
Many girls of North Malabar region still worship Kathivanoor Veeran to get a healthy husband. A Kathivannur Veeran Theyyam performer should be proficient in all subjects. Visitors can ask any questions to the theyyam and the theyyam should give the right answer.
Works on Kathivanoor Veeran
Kalady Sankaracharya College Malayalam Professor Lissie Mathew's book, Kathivanoor Veeran: Malakayariya Manushyan, Churamirangiya Daivam (literally means 'Kathivanoor Veeran:The man who climbed the hill, the god who descended the pass') , published by Kerala Bhasha Institute, retraces Mandappan's transformation into the deity Kathivanoor veeran. Book is a textbook at Kannur University, Kalady Sanskrit University and Mother Teresa Women's University, Kodaikanal.
The children's literature book Kathivanoor Veeran written by PRD regional deputy director E. V. Sugathan, and published by Kerala Balasahithya Institute was released on 17 October 2021.
The song that starts with Kathivannur Veerane in the 1997 movie Kaliyattam tells the story of Kathivannur Veeran.
A film titled Kathivanur Veeran is being made under the banner of Sree Mookambika Communications, which was started by a group of Gulf Malayalees. The film is expected to cost over 50 million Indian rupee is directed by Gireesh Kunnummal. Rajmohan Neeleswaram and T Pavithran are writing the script.

Joseph Baldarotta is an American retired ice hockey player and coach who was the NCAA Division III coach of the year.
Career
Baldarotta played two seasons for Wisconsin–Stevens Point in the mid-70's, ending his playing days in 1976. After college, he returned to his high school alma mater, Madison West, as an assistant coach for the hockey team and later became head coach. He returned to Stevens Point as an assistant in 1986 and helped head coach Mark Mazzoleni turn the pointers into a national powerhouse. WSP won three consecutive national titles and after the last, in 1991, Mazzoleni accepted an offer to coach at the Division I level. Baldarotta was promoted to head coach and kept the Pointers in good standing for several years. In his second year leading the program, Wisconsin–Stevens Point won its fourth national title and he received the Edward Jeremiah Award as the national Division III coach of the year.
After a decline in the mid-90s Baldarotta was able to bring the team back to prominence in 1998 and reached the championship game. Afterwards, however, the Pointers slowly sank down the NCHA standings. While Baldarotta was able to keep the team's head above water, Stevens Point never made another national appearance under his stewardship. He remained with the program until posting his worst season in 2007. After just his second losing season in 16 years, Baldarotta resigned as head coach.
Before the next season began, however, Baldarotta was back behind the bench, this time for Cortland State. The Red Dragons were hoping to rise out of the duldrums under Baldarotta and the results looked promising in his first year. Cortland posted its best record in 6 years and fell one win shy of reaching .500. Unfortunately, the next five years saw disappointing records and the Red Dragons finished at or near the bottom of the SUNYAC standings each season. In 2013, Baldarotta retired as a coach and turned the team over to the team's former coach, Tom Cranfield.
Baldarotta was inducted into the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame in 2015.

Project Twinkle is the second album by Canadian alternative rock band King Cobb Steelie, released in 1994. Produced by Bill Laswell, the album moved away from the funk-rock of their 1993 album King Cobb Steelie toward a more groove-oriented sound.
The band contacted Laswell through mutual acquaintances, following an abortive recording session with Steve Albini.
Reissue
The album was reissued in 2012 on Pheromone Recordings, with a new remix of "Italian Ufology Today" by Mad Professor as a bonus track.
The reissue was promoted with limited live performances at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, and the Stay Out of the Mall Festival in the band's hometown of Guelph.
Response
The album received positive reviews at the time of its release. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star wrote that "A great groove doesn't always require a vocal to go with it, and kudos to this Guelph funk-rock combo for realizing it. Not that the singing of guitarist/vocalist Kevan Byrne is likely to challenge any divas, anyway, but he makes his eccentric voice work for him, and only when the occasion demands - the instrumentals more than carry their own weight. A remarkably strong album," while Derek Weiler of the Waterloo Record wrote that "Project Twinkle sees Guelph's favorite sons continuing to grow in huge strides since their 1991 inception. The new album is sometimes problematic, but still reveals a powerful artistic vision and confirms King Cobb Steelie as the most vital and exciting combo to spring from the region. This time, the group has recruited the dub-friendly name producer Bill Laswell (following some aborted sessions with Steve Albini); Laswell has somehow simultaneously tightened the Steelie sound and enhanced their improvisatory feel. There are few jackhammer riffs like the ones that surfaced on the debut — instead, it's all bass- heavy grooves, subtle guitar fills, and complex layers of percussion."
For AllMusic, Sean Carruthers rated the album 4.5 stars, writing that "the album shows the band leaning less toward jagged punk stylings and more toward sinewy, atmospheric dub. Sometimes the vocals disappear completely while the band lays into a groove, but this is not altogether a bad thing. Although "Triple Oceanic Experience" was nearly a hit single, the album's centerpiece is the nine-and-a-half-minute "80% Knockout," which brings together all of the band's influences in a beautifully sparse package."
The album received a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 1995.
Over time, however, the album developed a reputation for being one of the weaker ones in the band's catalogue, with even the band themselves sometimes characterizing it as a rush job. At the time of the 2012 reissue, however, Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star wrote that "The tide of the times has lately cycled hipsterdom back around to sounds that orbit in the vicinity of the nifty stuff these stylistically omnivorous Guelph groove-rockers and highfalutin' producer Bill Laswell got up to together on Twinkle, but King Cobb Steelie remains a one-of-a-kind deal. Even the bits of Project Twinkle that could be accused of dating a bit - the elongated, scritchy-scratchy funk-punk throwdowns "Triple Oceanic Experience" and "The Pollinator," for instance - arguably hold up better than similar-sounding stuff from the period by, say, the Red Hot Chili Peppers or I Mother Earth." Michael Barclay of the Guelph Mercury wrote that "Project Twinkle is obviously a transition album: they're audibly moving away from some of the grungy elements that defined their best rock songs, and into more exploratory territory....KCS were - and are - the rare rock band who could incorporate heavy funk grooves without coming off like the Red Hot Chili Peppers; indeed, nothing they ever tried - except maybe the occasional turntable scratch or awkward rapid-fire rap - sounded like genre tourism. This was - is - a group of musically ravenous men who translate all their influences into a unique language."

James McClurg Guffey (January 19, 1839, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania – March 20, 1930, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) was an American pioneer in the petroleum industry in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and a longtime Democratic politician in his home state.
Early life
He was born the fifth of six children in Westmoreland County and grew up on the family farm.
At 18, he found work as a clerk for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Louisville, Kentucky, before landing a better-paying job with the Adams Southern Express Company in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1872, he returned to his home state to become a salesman in the burgeoning oil industry (see Pennsylvania oil rush), learning the business and starting to work for himself.
Petroleum industry
Guffey made a fortune "amounting to millions as an oil producer". He was involved in developing oil and gas fields in Ohio and West Virginia.
He and John H. Galey established the Guffey and Galey Company in 1880 or 1886. At one time, it was the largest oil producer in the world, outputting 40,000 barrels per day.
The pair arranged the financing needed to drill for oil in the Spindletop oil field. When oil was found on January 10, 1901, it started the Texas oil boom. Guffey had a five eighths interest in it, Galey one quarter, and Anthony Francis Lucas one eighth. Guffey established the J. M. Guffey Petroleum Company in May of that year; the firm bought Galey and Lucas's shares. In 1907, it and other companies merged to form the Gulf Oil Corporation; Guffey sold his seven fifteens interest for $3 million.
Politics
In late August 1897, Guffey was named the Pennsylvania representative to the Democratic national committee, replacing William F. Harrity.
In the 1901 United States Senate special election in Pennsylvania, he came second to Republican Matthew Quay, with 22% of the vote. In the 1903 Senate election, he lost to Republican Boies Penrose.
Later life
In 1910, his properties were placed in receivership because he did not have the ready cash to cover his liabilities of about $7,00,000, but the receiver stated that Guffey had assets of over $15,000,000.
Namesake
was a tanker named after him.

Dorthe Emilie Røssell (born 12 January 1934) is a Danish author who, as a child, was a member of the Danish resistance during the Second World War. Her parents were members of the and Røssell helped them, infiltrating German arms warehouses, carrying messages and transporting weapons and propaganda. Her parents were arrested by the Gestapo on Christmas Eve 1944. Røssell's father was tortured in Røssell's presence to try to get him to betray the resistance and was afterwards sent to Neuengamme concentration camp. He survived the war. Røssell's parents made her promise never to speak of her actions during the war, a promise she kept until 2007 when, prompted by an account of her father in another work, she released a memoir entitled Jeg brød et løfte (I Broke a Promise). She has since written a number of other works.
Second World War
Røssell was born on 12 January 1934. She is the daughter of Georg and Asta Røssell and was nicknamed Dunte as a child. After the April 1940 German invasion of Denmark her parents joined the Danish resistance movement as members of the student-based . The family's apartment in Østerbro, Copenhagen and their cottage at Hjortekær in Hovedstaden were both used as hiding places for Jews escaping the Holocaust, to store weapons and to print anti-German propaganda. Røssell helped her parents from the age of six, learning how to shoot a Luger pistol, carrying messages and transporting weapons and propaganda in her doll's pram. One of her first roles with the resistance was to squeeze through small gaps to enter German arms warehouses.
The family were twice raided by the Gestapo, once by mistake, once to arrest Georg, whom Røssell helped to escape over the rooftops. On Christmas Eve 1944 the Germans caught the Røssells in a raid on their cottage. The family had been hosting a gathering of resistance members, which had been betrayed by one of their party who had been captured and tortured. The Danish Gestapo chief Ib Birkedal Hansen was present on the raid and, when Røssell asked him when her father would return from arrest told her "If he has not come home within an hour, I have put him up against a wall and shot him".
With both her parents arrested Røssell was placed with an aunt and uncle, who were known to have traded with the Germans. He father was tortured by the Gestapo at their Shellhus headquarters in Copenhagen. As part of the interrogation Røssell was taken to the building and interrogated. Hansen told her "Now you tell me what you know, otherwise I'll shoot you while your father watches and him afterwards, or I'll shoot your father while you watch and you afterwards!". Having refused to talk her father was brought in and hit with a sjambok, while Røssell was forced to watch. After seven hours she was released onto the streets of Copenhagen.
Unwilling to return to her aunt and uncle she sought refuge with Karl Erik, a resistance fighter and fireman. With Erik she returned to the cottage and, using a key she had kept hidden from her aunt and uncle, accessed the structure to retrieve weapons, ammunition and uniforms missed by the Germans. Her mother, who had attempted suicide during her imprisonment out of fear that she would betray the resistance under torture, was released several weeks later. The resistance wanted to move Røssell and her mother to neutral Sweden but they isnsited on remaining in case Georg was released. They did move to a cottage in Veddinge Bakker. Georg had been interned at Neuengamme concentration camp in Northern Germany but survived and was released at the end of the war.
Post war
After his return Georg and Asta made Røssell promise never to reveal the torture she had witnessed in the Shellhus. Her parents were ill in the post war years and Røssell cared for them while holding down a part-time job; Asta also turned to alcohol and drugs. In Spring 1948 Røssell was confirmed at the Church of the Free Port. In a meeting after the ceremony she was presented with the blue, red and white armband of the Dutch resistance movement by a group of ex-fighters and also received a diploma marking her contributions. George testified at the May 1948 trial of Hansen, giving details of the torture he had endured. Hansen was convicted and executed for his crimes. Røssell's parents divorced in 1952.
Røssell later married and had one son. She was with her husband for 44 years; he also suffered from ill health due to a heart condition and Røssell helped to care for him. Røssell's father died in 1989 and her mother in 1993. Asta suffered from ill health in her final years, which were spent in , a care home for elderly resistance fighters. Even after the deaths of her parents Røssell maintained her silence about the war years, not even telling her husband.
Writing
I Broke a Promise
In 2007 Røssell made her writing debut with Jeg brød et løfte (I Broke a Promise), a memoir of her childhood including the war. She had been inspired to write her memoir after reading a 2004 book by Peter Øvig Knudsen which mentioned her father's resistance activities. Røssell said that she found writing the work alleviated her insomnia and high blood pressure. She has since given talks about her life to schoolchildren.
Other works
Røssell has since written:

"Dancing Feet" is a song by Norwegian record producer and DJ Kygo, featuring a guest appearance from American band DNCE. It was released as a single through RCA Records on 25 February 2022. The production is handled by Kygo and David Stewart and the vocals are solely handled by DNCE's lead singer, Joe Jonas. The producers wrote the song alongside Rami Yacoub and Jess Agombar. It also serves as DNCE's comeback single since their return after a three-year-long hiatus that started after 2018 was over.
Background and promotion
Joe Jonas had been teasing "Dancing Feet" on the video-sharing app TikTok for several weeks prior to its release, with several video teasers and videos with the song in the background, starting in mid-January 2022. Judging by both the sound of the song and DNCE's social media accounts being active again by commenting on videos with the song in them, fans felt that the sound of the song was similar to the band's default sound, which made them wonder whether they were coming back from their hiatus.
On 7 February 2022, DNCE announced their return as a band after a hiatus that lasted about three years since 2018 ended, and Jonas was interviewed by Rolling Stone on the same day, in which he said of the song: "It's really happy. It's that feeling of not really giving a fuck and enjoying life to the fullest". The song has been described as "a perfect reintroduction, a crisp Eighties-inspired bop primed for all your dance-floor needs" and "fit in perfectly with the material already written for the band's return". Four days later, Kygo was interviewed by people People, in which he shared his thoughts about collaborating with Jonas on the song and DNCE's reunion: "I only met Joe briefly at a festival a couple of years ago, but he's a super nice guy" and "Joe recorded vocals and it just sounded amazing", adding that "I feel like we're all just very excited about this song, and obviously it's very cool to be part of their comeback". On 12 February 2022, Kygo brought DNCE out for his performance at the Sports Illustrated The Party x Palm Tree Crew in Century Park for the Super Bowl LVI weekend show that day, in which they collectively performed the song live for the first time. The official music video was also shot during that week. Kygo has also been reported to be working with DNCE on the band's upcoming second studio album.
Composition and lyrics
"Dancing Feet" is a funk song that sees Jonas sing "over a characteristically breezy Kygo melody", especially on the song's chorus: "'Cause these dancing feet don't cry to the rhythm, they cry for you / And every Saturday night that you ain't here, my tears are blue / And these blinding lights, they shine so bright like we're on the moon / But I don't wanna dancе another beat, no, unless it's with you".
Music video
The official music video for "Dancing Feet", directed by Johannes Lovund, premiered on 28 February 2022, coinciding with the three-year-anniversary of the reunion of Jonas' other band, the Jonas Brothers. It was originally set to be released alongside the song three days before, but was pushed back in respect of the Ukraine-Russia conflict going on at the time. It was shot in Miami, Florida. The video sees Kygo and the three DNCE members (Jonas, Jack Lawless, and JinJoo Lee) at the Palm Tree Resort, imitating Miami Vice, as they do favors and run errands for the rich people in the area, such as parking their cars and playing tennis with them, and then give the music for a party. The next day, after working hard, they sneak into a nightclub and dance on a light-up floor.

Bill Sun Kauo-hwa (; born 11 October 1944) is a Taiwanese engineer and politician.
Education
Sun earned a Bachelor of Science degree at National Taiwan University in 1966, followed by a master's degree from the University of Kentucky in 1969. His doctoral studies were completed at the University of California, Berkeley, within the department of mechanical engineering. His doctoral dissertation was titled Thermal Performance Characteristics of Heat Pipes.
Career
Sun served on committees considering the topic of nuclear power, and was active in Kuomintang-affiliated overseas organizations while in the United States. He was elected to the Legislative Yuan in 2001, to represent overseas Chinese on behalf of the Kuomintang. As a legislator, Sun was part of delegations that traveled to Europe in 2003 to advocate for Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization. He planned to make another trip to Europe in 2004, for the same reason, but decided not to go. In June 2004, Sun traveled to the United States as part of a delegation to discuss Taiwan's national defense and the potential for Taiwan to acquire military equipment from the United States. In September of that year, Sun criticized the Thai government for refusing to grant him and other Taiwanese politicians a visa, forcing him to cancel a scheduled trip there. Later that same month, Sun chastised foreign minister Mark Chen for statements Chen had made about relations with Singapore. In January 2005, Sun joined a Taiwanese delegation attending the second inauguration of American president George W. Bush.

After Story, published in 2021, is the third novel by Larissa Behrendt.
Plot summary
Jasmine, an ambitious Indigenous lawyer, invites her mother, Della, at the last minute to a literary tour of Britain. Although Jasmine has moved to the city, Della has remained in her small New South Wales town her whole life. The relationship between mother and daughter is currently strained, and audience learns that this tension originates from the kidnapping and murder of Jasmine's oldest sister, Della's daughter, years before.
The structure of the novel covers each day of the on a tour of England’s most revered literary sites shown from the perspective of Della, then Jasmine. The tour group are all literary enthusiasts, and are a mixture of participants from different ages, but mostly middle class. Jasmine's perceives that Della is out of place, and is worried about her history of issues with alcohol, both potentially embarrassing for Jasmine. Della is generally unimpressed but untroubled by the pretensions of the group, and easily makes connections with various members, who are drawn to her unaffected and curious temperament.
As Della and Jasmine learn about the personal lives of authors like Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Virginia Woolf and Thomas Hardy, they each reflect on how the impact of Brittany's murder unfolded - the blame that was cast and the estrangement of relationships that followed, as well as the blame. This is compounded when during their tour the mother and daughter follow the news of another child going missing on Hampstead Heath.
Through learning about the lives famous British storytellers, Della rediscovers the wisdom of her own culture and storytelling, with Jasmine growing a better understanding of the different ways stories can be passed on. Through this and the time they spend together, mother and daughter are able to work towards reconciling and understanding each other.
Characters
Della - A middle aged Aboriginal woman who lives in a small town in New South Wales. More than twenty years previously her eldest daughter was kidnapped and murdered, a crime for which she briefly fell under suspicion and for which she has been vicariously blamed by some of her family and people in the town.
Jasmine - Della's youngest daughter who is a lawyer in the city. She has no memory of her oldest sister.
Aunty Elaine - Respected Elder of the town. A keeper of stories and culture, the stories of which Della begins to recollect throughout the novel.
Leigh-Anne - Jasmine's older sister. Very different from her younger sister, she and Della have recently had an argument that both have found difficult to reconcile. She is suspicious of Jasmine's academic and career ambitions, and is much more frank, fiery and has a better understanding of her own identity than Jasmine, which is a source of tension.
Brittany - Della's oldest daughter, who has been murdered more than twenty years before the narrative of the novel. She is only referred to in the novel.
Reception
On the novel's release The Guardian (Australia) said that After Story asked "smouldering questions are leavened by characters who are funny, complex and real."
The novel was shortlisted for the 2022 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards.

Siegfried Walter Rautenberg (1942 – August 18, 1975?) was a German waiter and suspected serial killer who was indicted for the murder of Monika Schwiegerhausen, a 22-year-old prostitute who worked at a red-light district in Hamburg, who was found drowned on October 10, 1968. In addition to this, he was also considered the prime suspect in the killings of two others committed months earlier. Rautenberg fled the country before he could be arrested and was later said to have died while serving in the Spanish Legion, but as his body was never recovered, this cannot be confirmed with certainty.
Murders, investigation and indictment
On May 23, 1968, the body of 35-year-old prostitute Ursula Beier was found in a well near Schenefeld by a father and daughter who were walking by. Beier, a mother of three from Chemnitz who had been prostituting herself around St. Pauli, was stabbed repeatedly and had her throat cut by the killer. Four days after her murder, a dock worker named Bernhard M. was arrested and charged with her murder, as during the investigation, police had learned that Beier had met a client by the name of "Berni". He was interrogated at the local police station, but as there was no further mention of him in the newspapers, he was presumably cleared of suspicion and released.
On June 4, a passer-by found the body of a young woman in Eidelstedt, showing signs of sexual abuse and strangulation marks around her neck. A police sketch was released of the unknown decedent, allowing a local housewife to positively identify her as her daughter, 22-year-old Helga Apitz. At the time of her death, Apitz, the mother of a 2-year-old child who lived with relatives, was living at a women's shelter in Winterhude and was known for prostituting herself in St. Pauli and for being reported missing on six previous occasions. According to witnesses, she was last seen entering a gray Volkswagen Transporter driven by a young man wearing a brown hat and a bluish summer coat, which had Hamburg license plates. Around the time of her identification, links were already made with the Beier homicide due to their similarities, with authorities attempting to track down the killer via paper bags which had been left behind at the crime scene. A task force mobilized by Police Commissioner Hans Lühr led to the inspection of thousand of Volkswagen Transporters matching the description given by witnesses, but no results came out of it.
The last murder occurred on October 10, when the naked body of 22-year-old prostitute Monika Schwiegerhausen was found floating in the Pepermölenbek river near Wedel, by a group of children who were playing next to the riverbank. While her cause of death was designated as drowning, the manner in which she had died suggested to the investigators that she had been killed, with a high possibility that Schwiegerhausen being sedated with an anesthetic, undressed, robbed and then thrown into the river by the assailant.
Identification, search and presumed death
In early November, authorities discovered an abandoned Mercedes near Lake Constance, and upon inspecting it, they discovered a myriad of stolen goods, including jewellery, clothing and handbags. Among these items were a pair of purple suede boots, which one witness claimed were worn by Schwiegerhausen on the day of her disappearance. Suspecting that this might be the killer's vehicle, the police checked the registration number and discovered that the Mercedes had been rented on October 4 in Sasel by a man named Siegfried Rautenberg. Rautenberg, a 26-year-old waiter who lived in Bergstedt with his wife and two children, had reportedly approached the car dealership claiming that he needed the vehicle for "business trips" and was last seen on October 9, the day before Schwiegerhausen disappeared. Due to the strong circumstantial evidence pointing towards his guilt, a red notice was issued by Interpol for his arrest in her murder. In addition to this, authorities from Hamburg also wanted him for questioning in the murders of Beier and Apitz, due to their proximity and similarities to one another.
However, Rautenberg fled the country and joined the Spanish Legion, which refused to extradite him to Germany as long as he served in their ranks. He was then dispatched to Fort Semara in Smara, Spanish Sahara, from where it was reported that he attempted to escape on August 18, 1975. However, his attempt supposedly failed, as the reports claimed that he died from dehydration out in the desert. As no body was ever recovered, this claim remains unverified.

Floods of 1341 is a deluge that occurred in present-day Kerala during the 14th century. There are no written historic treatise regarding this event. The present day understanding regarding this event is centered around findings of Pattanam Archaeological excavations in Kodungallur - North Paravur region and geological studies about Vypin and Fort Kochi.
Aftermath
It is widely believed that excess siltation caused due to run off from Western Ghats through Periyar River during the floods had led to change in the course of Periyar and destruction of ancient natural port of Muziris. The accretion following the deluge has brought in tremendous changes to the shore between Alappuzha and Kodungallur. It has resulted in rejuvenation of new land masses like Vypin Island and soil deposits along Panangad - Kumbalam region. There are many historians who attribute the floods as a major reason for formation of Cochin Port and estuary on Vembanad.

We Met in Virtual Reality is a 2022 documentary film that takes place entirely within the video game VRChat. It explores the social relations developed by the users of VRChat during the pandemic, and how their lives were changed by their time on the platform. It was created by Joe Hunting, who was the director and writer of the script.
Plot
The film follows multiple figures throughout the runtime of the movie, in chronological order for over two years, often switching back and forth to explore their lives on the platform as their relationships evolve and change. There is a teacher who has an online sign language school, a couple that met online, as well as one of them running a school for dance classes, another couple who met online and also found love on the platform, as well as other users. The film finds out the reasons they use the platform and how it has helped them during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Release
It had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2022, at 3PM.
Reception
We Met in Virtual Reality gained a 94% critic rating from Rotten Tomatoes, with a 15 of the 16 reviews being favorable. Consensus reads, "filmed entirely inside the world of VR, this vérité documentary captures the excitement and surprising intimacy of a burgeoning cultural movement, demonstrating the power of online connection in an isolated world."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "watching We Met in Virtual Reality, you very quickly forget that the two people cuddling have horns and a tail and that the airplane they seem to be sitting on doesn’t exist. The young woman with pink hair talking about her suicide attempt is laying underneath the stars, but until she laments that the clouds aren’t moving, you could almost forget that they’re virtual as well. And when the deaf ASL instructor talks about losing his brother during COVID and lights a virtual Japanese lantern in his honor, there’s nothing synthetic about the emotions you feel."
Engadget states, "it’s clear from We Met in Virtual Reality that he’s not just dropping into the community for a quick story. Instead, he sees the humanity behind the avatars and virtual connections." On the other hand, Wired gave a more critical review, stating, "Hunting spends a lot of time showing there’s a culture worth preserving; if only he’d shown if anyone is trying to do it."

Mambawakale is a genus of large sized basal paracrocodylomorph from the Manda Beds of Tanzania. It was informally named Pallisteria before being officially published under its current name almost 60 years after its discovery. It contains a single species, Mambawakale ruhuhu.
History and naming
In 1963, following the indepence of Tanzania, Alan Charig participated in a joint expedition of the Natural History Museum, London and the University of London, as well as researchers from Uganda, South Africa and Edinburgh, to Tanzania and Zambia. The expedition heavily relied on the support of locals who had discovered the localities and fossils within them, although they went unnamed in the field notes. The fossils discovered in 1963 were collected and stored in the Natural History Museum of London. Among these fossils was the incomplete skull of a large crocodylomorph, noted for its large size and informally referred to as Pallisteria angustimentum (after Charig's friend John Weaver Pallister and the Latin words "angustus" and "mentum", meaning "narrow chin). Little information was given on Pallisteria, with neither details, figures or even a specimen number being noted down. The manuscript, although listed as "in press", was never published nor recovered from the archives, rendering Pallisteria (and the family Pallisteriidae) a nomen nudum. Following the formal description of Teleocrater, Mandasuchus, Hypselorhachis and Nyasasaurus, Pallisteria was the last of the significant fossil archosaurs reported by Charig to be formally published. A formal description of the holotype specimen (NHMUK R36620) was eventually published 59 years later in 2022 by Richard J. Butler and colleagues, who named it Mambawakale. In addition to the skull, Butler's team also described associated postcranial material mentioned in the field notes, including elements of the cervical series and a left manus.
The name Mambawakale is a composite of the Kiswahili words "mamba" (crocodile) and "wakale" (ancient). The species name refers to the Ruhuhu Basin where the fossils have been found.
Description
Based on a skull length of 75 cm, Mambawakale would have been a large sized Pseudosuchian of unknown age. Although only the lower edge of the external nares is preserved, it's extent over most of the premaxilla and the front most part of the maxilla suggests they were large in size, comparable to Batrachotomus. The contact between the premaxilla and maxilla is marked by a slight constriction visible when viewing the skull from below and is located within a short toothless section of the jaw (diastema). The surface of the palate shows a series of pits that likely received the teeth of the mandible when the jaw was closed. Each maxilla contains four teeth, the last of which being notably larger than the first three and more similar to those of the maxilla. This notable heterodonty of the premaxillary teeth is described as an autapomorphy of Mambawakale and differs greatly from most other archosauriforms. The surface of the maxilla, although badly preserved, shows no signs of rugosity and appears smooth. Generally, the maxilla share several characteristics with both Saurosuchus and Prestosuchus. In overall shape the maxilla are straight, diverging from one another as they move away from the premaxilla. The maxilla appear to contain ten teeth each showing little variation in size unlike those of the premaxilla. There is however a slight reduction over the last 4 teeth. The hemimandibles of the lower jaw form an elongated symphisys, which gives the chin a narrow appearance as noted by Charig when naming P. angustimentum. Although at one point considered a derived trait of ornithosuchids, this morphology can also be observed in other groups such as crocodyliforms, poposauroids and phytosaurs. The shallow dentary contains fifteen to sixteen ziphodont teeth.
The centrum of the axis in Mambawakale is similar to that of Stagonosuchus, making it a possibility that the two taxa may represent the same species. However, the absence of well preserved postcranial material in Mambawakale and well preserved cranial material in Stagonosuchus makes it impossible to make a definitive statement on the matter. Mambawakale is easily distinguished from both Parringtonia and Nundasuchus and likely does not represent Hypselorhachis or Mandasuchus either.
Based on comparison with the South American Prestosuchus, Mambawakale may have had a skull length of up to 75 cm and would have been one of the largest Pseudosuchians of the middle Triassic, comparable in size with Etjosuchus.
Phylogeny
The strict consensus tree recovered Mambawakale as a basal paracrocodylomorph in a polytomy with two other Manda Bed Pseudosuchians, Poposauroidea and Loricata. The inclusion of Nundasuchus did not affect this placement in the phylogenetic tree. However, overall its position within Archosauria is only weakly resolved and poorly supported. It can be clearly identified as an archosaur, however its placement in Pseudosuchia is less certain, as many traits that would nest it in the group are more broadly found across other archosaur clades.

Rudolf Hillebrecht (26 February 1910 - 6 March 1999) was a German architect and city planner. In 1948, against an impressive list of rival candidates, he succeeded in obtaining appointment as city planning officer for his home city of Hannover, with a mandate to rebuild a city that had suffered massive bomb damage between 1942 and 1945. He approached his task with evangelical zeal. His ideas for post-war Hanover aligned with the prevailing spirit of the "Wirtschaftswunder" years, and by 1959 it was possible to boast that Hannover was the only city in West Germany with its own network of city motorways, while Hillebrecht had probably become the only man alive in Hannover with an international reputation. Urban developments during the next twenty years repeatedly demonstrated the extent of Hillebrand's influence across and beyond western Europe. His redevelopment of Hannover was nevertheless not uncontroversial even at the time. A large number of historical buildings that had somehow survived Anglo-American bombing were now destroyed out of deference to a larger plan: some of the Hilebrecht plans involving wholesale destruction and replacement of entire districts of the city were indeed never implemented. Hillebrecht himself later conceded that the destruction, during the early 1960s, of Hannover's striking neo-Renaissance "Flusswasserkunst" (water treatment plant) had been a mistake.
Life
Provenance and early years
Heinrich Friedrich Rudolf Hillebrecht was born in the north German village of Linden (since 1920 subsumed into Hannover and known as "Hannover-Linden") during the final decade of the Wilhelmine empire years. Ernst Hillebrecht (1876–1938), his father, was a grain trader. His paternal grandfather, Heinrich Hillebrecht, had moved to Linden with his young wife in 1871 to find work as a bricklayer. He prospered. His mother, born Bertha Arning (1875–1964), was the daughter of a Hannover Buildings Inspector, a government official of some importance at the time. Rudolf was his parents' only recorded child. He attended the nearby (and subsequently renamed) Empress Augusta Victoria secondary school, passing his Abitur (school graduation exam) in 1928, thereby opening the way to university-level education.
On leaving school Rudolf Hillebrecht enrolled at the Technische Hochschule Hannover (Technical University) in order to study Architecture. After two years he transferred to the "Technische Hochschule" (as it was known at that time) in Berlin-Charlottenburg where his teachers included Heinrich Tessenow and Hermann Jansen. Two years later, when he passed his "Dipl.- Ing." final exams and received his degree, he was back in Hannover.
He went on to work with Adolf Falke and Hans Nitzschke who ran an architectural firm in Hannover. This appears to have been part of a post-graduate traineeship. During the first part of 1934 he was seconded to Berlin where he worked for Walter Gropius, helping with an entry for the "Häuser der Arbeit" architectural competition conducted under the auspices of the government backed German Labour Front. They presented a proposal for a modern cubist development decorated with an abundance of swastika flags. (Gropius, who had made the political error ten years before the Hitler take-over of choosing a Jewish wife, emigrated a few months later.) After that Hillebrecht found a job with the "Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie" working in Travemünde and Hamburg, exercising an oversight role as a government construction manager for a so-called anti-aircraft barracks development in Hamburg-Ohlsdorf.
Leadership responsibilities under Konstanty Gutschow
Passing the Level 2 national architecture exams in 1937 opened up new professional opportunities. Hillebrecht left government service and accepted a senior appointment as a "Chefarchitekt" with Konstanty Gutschow in Hamburg. Gutschow was in exceptionally good standing with the government, having recently submitted an entry to a government competition for the "Elbufer" ("Elbe shore") development in the context of the prestigious "Führerstädte" initiative, with a massive riverside redevelopment scheme incorporating the latest ideas from New York, including a 250m high sky-scraper for the party. The Gutschow tender so impressed the leader that in January 1939 he intervened personally to award first place to the Gutschow scheme. In 1939 Gutschow was appointed "Architekt des Elbufers" ("Architect to the Elbe Riverside") by Gauleiter (regional governor) |Karl Kaufmann and given the task of drawing up a more wide ranging redevelopment plan for a new "Führerstadt Hamburg". Hillebrecht was by now part of a small inner circle in Gutschow's architecture practice which, at the start of 1941, numbered 150 people. By the end of 1942 that had increased to 250. At least one commentator describes Hillebrecht as "Gutrschow's closest co-worker" during this time
Starting in 1941, as Anglo-American bombing began to take its toll on Hamburg's civilian infrastructure, Gutschow's practice acquired a complementary role as the "Amt für kriegswichtigen Einsatz", organising operations made necessary by war damage, such as rubble clearance, air-raid protection measures and finding replacement housing for civilians whose homes had been destroyed. Running Gutschow's office, Hillebrecht displayed formidable organisational abilities. He was involved in the scheme for rebuilding Hamburg, co-ordinating the use both of prisoners of war and German detainees as forced labourers. Notably, he organised the procurement of materials for the rapid construction of air-raid shelters. That included the large-scale procurement of clinker bricks from the infamous Neuengamme concentration camp brick factory.
In December 1943 Hillebrecht and Gutschow became active members of Albert Speer's "Arbeitsstab für den Wiederaufbau bombenzerstörter Städte" (loosely, "Rebuilding staff") team. During January 1944 the two men undertook a tour which involved visiting 24 towns and cities that had suffered major destruction from aerial bombing. An early result was their report "Richtlinien zur Statistik" ("Guidelines for Statistics") and an extensive amount of damage mapping, intended to serve as the basis for post-war reconstruction plans.
The slaughter of war was by this time leaving the army desperately short of fighting men, and in September 1944 Rudolf Hillebrecht, still aged only 34, was conscripted into an artillery regiment. He experienced the end of the war as an American prisoner of war, but was released just six months later, in November 1945. He made his way back to Hamburg.
City planning Director for Hannover
At the start of 1946 Hillebrecht found a job which involved responsibility for reconstruction with Viktor Agartz, a socialist politician and academic who had recently been given charge of the "Main Regional Office for Economic Matters" by the British military administrators. The British army had taken control of north-west Germany in May 1945 under terms provisionally agreed with Soviet and American leaders. Responsibilities were poorly defined and the arrangement proved short-lived.
In 1947 Hillebrecht accepted a new appointment, back in Hamburg, as "Sekretär für Bau- und Wohnungswesen im Zonenbeirat" (loosely, "Secretary for Building and Housing in the Hamburg Zone Advisory Council").
After successfully applying for a post as city buildings officer in Hannover, in 1948 continued to implement the concepts he had developed in the context of Speer's "Arbeitsstab für den Wiederaufbau" plans with Gutschow, during their time together in Hamburg. He remained in close contact with Gutschow who now provided support in an advisory capacity. Under their oft-repeated slogan "Deutschland will leben – Deutschland muß bauen" Hillebrecht and Gutschow teamed up together to instigate the "Constructa" construction businesses trade fair, held in 1951. The exhibition consciously emphasised the role of Hannover in pointing the way ahead for other cities looking to rebuild and redevelop in anticipation of a new age of mass mobility. Hillebrecht and, after 1948, his newly recruited planning office manager Hans Stosberg formed an exceptionally "well-trained team", backed up by an unusual degree of professional mutual trust, in the judgment of the architecture historian Werner Durth. Another senior member of Hillebrecht's team at Hannover was Wilhelm Wortmann, an architect from Bremen who joined in 1949 and was another former member of Speer's "Arbeitsstab für den Wiederaufbau" team. It was Wortmann who worked up and in 1951 delivered a pioneering zoning plan ("Flächennutzungsplan") for Hannover.
Despite very considerable - and understandable - resistance, Hillebrecht managed to persuade land owners not to insist on preserving plot shapes and sizes corresponding precisely to those on place before the British and American bombers destroyed so much of the city. That was crucial if the city centre layout was to function properly for a population of citizen-car drivers, such as already existed in the USA. Of the 61 hectare area in the heart of the city which had been completely destroyed, now defined for the purpose of the exercise, as the city-centre, slightly under 15% was transferred to city ownership at nil cost. A n early and widely publicised example was the Kreuzkirchen quarter, in the "old town" of Hannover. The baroque street contours that had characterised this residential district of central Hannover before the Anglo-American bombing were abandoned in favour of gently curved streets. The objective was to keep the motor traffic on broad streets on the edge, while the inner city should be largely traffic-free. At the same time easy access to all central areas should be made easier through the construction of a broad inner-city ring road. With memories still fresh of city centres replaced by piles of rubble reaching as far as the horizon, initial reactions were overwhelmingly positive. Der Spiegel dedicated a lengthy cover-feature to the development under the headline title "Das Wunder von Hannover" ("The Hannover Miracle"), incorporating a photo-portrait of Hillebrecht. Today Hillebrecht continues to be seen as the harbinger of a generation of city planners who re-defined urban living space for the second half of the twentieth century, realising in concrete the post-war dream of a car-friendly metropolis.
Building large urban motorways (Hamburger Allee, Berliner Allee, Leibnizufer) through the central parts of the city led to further destruction of the relatively dense prewar city quarters. The broad motor roads separated and in places still divide entire city districts, sometimes replaced with large structures designed without thought for their surroundings and standing out as the architectural equivalent of "foreign bodies", uncompromisingly contrasting with the surrounding streetscapes. Traditional city squares became more traffic nodes while street corners simply disappeared. The seventeenth century "Calenberger Neustadt" is separated from the rest of the old city by the six lane "Leibnizufer" highway. The old Leine Island became less of an island through the filling in of a channel. Priorities and fashions have changed, however, and Hillebrecht's approach to city planning has fallen grace with a succession of bumps.
It was not just the old residential quarters of Hannover that suffered major post-war further demolition in support of the planners' vision. Despite popular protest, a number of old buildings of significant historical and architectural interest and merit, having survived the war, were torn down rather than being repaired or restored. A particularly notorious victim was the neo-Renaissance Flusswasserkunst building over a main arm of the Leine river, beside the Leineschloss. Another was the Friederikenschlösschen (palace) constructed one and a half centuries earlier by Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves alongside the brutally repurposed Friederikenplatz. Many of the buildings demolished were products of the Gründerzeit and were so-called "backyard developments" filling in the formerly large unbuilt plots surrounding main buildings. The removal of Gründerzeit developments continued till the 1970s. Hillebrecht's approach to redevelopment was on display in many German cities through this period. In Hannover, however, plans to tear down the entire "List" quarter were never implemented.
In 1975 Rudolf Hillebrecht was succeeded at the Hannover planning department by Hanns Adrian, heralding a slightly less bombastic approach to city redevelopment.
Evaluation
Unlike his direct contemporaries, Hillebrecht tailored his planning approach to an age of individualised motorised transport very early on. As an architect, meanwhile, he was a "Bauhaus man", revering classicist structures and rejecting historicism. He shunned sky-scrapers and preferred to talk in terms of "new construction" rather than of mere "reconstruction". During his time in charge of the city planning office most of the central heart of Hannover, including the Kröpcke square, the Georgstraße and the Bahnhofstraße ("Station Street") were transformed into what was, at the time, the largest contiguous pedestrian zone in Germany. Fifty years on, there are still very few larger. In this way Hillebrecht's vision continues to underpin Hannover's reputation as a principal shopping city for a large part of north Germany. But there were, from the outset, those who viewed Rudolf Hillebrecht's work in Hannover critically. At times that included Hillebrecht himself. As early as 1957 he was talking of his own "missed opportunities". Even though Hillebrecht was not the kind of architect who wanted personally to specify every last detail ("I don't think it's part of my job to specify the glazing bars for the windiws".{{efn |"Ich denke nicht daran, Fenstersprossen zu reglementieren"), when it came to urban planning he was unusual among his peers in attending to so-called "street furniture", in terms of the public art to be selected for public spaces. and details of their positioning. He became known for his habit of soliciting potential sponsors to commission works of public art from young artists, starting out on their careers.
Recognition and celebration
Rudolf Hillebrecht died on 6 March 1999. His body is buried at the Engesohde City Cemetery in Hannover.
The "grassy square" in front of the 1970s-style offices of the City Buildings Administration department at "Rudolf-Hillebrecht-Platz 1", beside Hannover's New City Hall, set in the gounds directly to the west of the City Hall, was renamed in Hillebrecht's honour. Fittingly, much of the "Rudolf-Hillebrecht-Platz" has been re-developed for use as a car park.

K R Sunil born on 29 May 1975, in Kodungallur, is a visual artist who lives in Kochi. He has combined the art of photography and writing to create various series on human-centric stories, ecology and other related topics. His series Vanishing Life Worlds was exhibited at the third edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2016, curated by Sudarshan Shetty
Early life
Sunil did his schooling in Kodungallur and He joined in the College of Fine Arts, Thrissur, where he earned a National Diploma in Sculpture. It was during the College of Fine Arts tenure that he started actively involving himself in photography. In 1997, he won the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi Special Award for Fine Art Students, in painting.
Vanishing Life Worlds (2016)
The photography and textual series was based in the ancient port town of Ponnani, Kerala. The series was inspired by the constant vanishing act – as observed by Sunil – of the many everyday elements of life in the vintage town. Unique personalities and their traits, last surviving customs of the mapila community there, places that were transforming into something altogether different – such stories were documented. The series was exhibited at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2016.
Chronicle of a Disappearance (2016)
The photography series was about the disappearing ponds in various parts of Kerala. Sunil identified and documented these natural water sources that were on the verge of being extinct, as well as the ecology surrounding them. The series shed light into the destructive practices and negligence by the society towards these ponds, which included landfilling, waste management and poor maintenance. The series was exhibited at the India Habitat Centre Delhi in 2016, curated by Alka Pandey, and at RMIT Gallery, Melbourne in 2017, which was curated by Suzanne Davies & Helen Reyment.
Mattancherry (2017)
The photography series captured the everyday instances of the people and lives at Mattancherry, which is a historic port town in Kochi. Sunil captured faces, activities, objects, places and lifestyles in monochrome, essaying the most ordinary instances in a time-preserving manner. The series was exhibited at the Uru Art Harbour, Kochi in 2017, curated by Riyas Komu.
Manchukkar- The Seafarers of Malabar (2018)
The photography and textual series revolved around the lives of a last-surviving group of seafarers of Malabar region. These seasoned sailors were – at their prime – laborers in urus or dhowboats that were wind-driven and which used to frequent various parts of the trading world, including the Middle East and other parts of India. The accompanying texts narrated their ordeals and adventures in the sea and hardships during labor. The series was exhibited at the Uru Art Harbour, Kochi in 2017, curated by Riyas Komu, and at the Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum, USA| 2021 | Curated by Karen and Robert Duncan. Furthermore, Kunstdepot Göschenen, Switzerland published the series as a catalog in 2021.
Home (2020)
The photography series was based along the coast of Kerala, that stretches from Thirvananthapuram to Kasargod. This coastal strip was dotted by desolate homes that were partly or at times completely damaged by encroaching seas, forcing the occupants to flee. Sunil travelled along this coastal strip and captured such homes that were merely relics now. The series addressed the rampant problem faced by coastal community regarding climate change as well as irrational construction and development projects adjacent to the sea. The series was exhibited at Lokame Tharavadu (The World is One Family), Alapuzha in 2021, which was curated by Bose Krishnamachari

Mimi Chocolate was a Bangladeshi brand of chocolate bar and chewing gum manufactured by Mimi Chocolate Ltd. It was introduced in Bangladesh in 1965. Mimi Chocolate, the first chocolate bar product in Bangladesh, was once the only and exclusively traded chocolate bar in Bangladesh.
History
Factory of Mimi Chocolate was set up on 1 acre land in Tejgaon Industrial Area in 1965. After independence of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Freedom Fighter Welfare Trust took over the responsibility of Mimi Chocolate Limited. Mimi Chocolate was successful in business because in that time there was a few chocolate brand in Bangladesh. There was less chance to import foreign chocolate products. That's why for 18 years Mimi Chocolate was popular chocolate brand. In 1990s, Mimi sold chocolates and chewing gums worth Tk50-60 lakh per month.
Product
As products, Mimi sold chocolate bars and chewing gum. The chocolate bars were packaged in brown packaging.
There were two flavours of Mimi chocolate bar:
Milk flavour
Orange flavour
Advertising
A TV commercial of Mimi Chocolate was broadcast in BTV, which was the only television of that time. Mimi Chocolate did not focus on its promotion so much because of less competitors. Mimi Chocolate released only one TVC with popular tagline “Mami Aseni Kintu Mimi Esheche“.
Discontinuation
Once upon a time there was no such thing as a chocolate bar except Mimi Chocolate. But 17 years later, the old-fashioned machinations of chocolate production, inefficient management and lack of leadership led to the collapse of the company. The cost of producing chocolate with the help of old machines is the highest since 2000. Production costs continue to rise and the machines are no longer able to maintain the old speed after repeated repairs. Mimi Chocolate was once temporarily discontinued in 2009 due to lack of capital and arrears. Later the government solved their problem and started it again. At one point, Mimi Chocolate Company was left with a debt default. The import of raw materials became irregular. In 2014, the annual sales of Mimi Chocolate came down to 15-20 lakhs. After considering all aspects, it was decided to close the company at once. Finally, in 2018, Mimi Chocolate officially left the market.

Not far from the wall, during the war, there was a strong tradition of commemorating those killed in the anniversary of the fiercest fighting. In particular, every year at the end of August, on the anniversary of the Ukrainian military and volunteers leaving the Ilovaysk boiler, volunteers of the Evacuation 200 mission from the Citadel IADF carry out the work of their mobile exhibition "Memory Block" during the evening and night.

Anders Grubb (born 1944) is a Swedish chemist, physician, and academic. He is currently a Senior Professor of Clinical Chemistry at Lund University.
Education
Grubb earned his Ph.D. degree in Clinical Chemistry in 1974 and an M.D. in 1975. Following this, he attended The New York University Medical Center as a Postdoctoral fellow in 1975, and The University Hospital Ramon y Cajal in Madrid in 1980.
Career
Grubb joined the medical faculty of Lund university in 1967. In 1989 he was appointed as Professor and Senior Physician in the Department of Clinical Chemistry and Pharmacology. Since 2011, he has been serving as Senior Professor at the Department of Clinical Chemistry and Pharmacology at Lund University.
Research
Grubb has published over 350 articles, has been cited over 31,000 times with an h-index of 90, and has 10 patents awarded. His research spans the areas of protein chemistry, renal medicine and clinical chemistry.
Structure and Function of Cystatin C
Grubb and coworkers isolated a protein previously described to be present in urine and spinal fluid, but without known structure and function, called, among other things, ɣ-trace, and developed a method for measuring it in various body fluids. He also determined the amino acid sequence of the protein's single polypeptide chain and the secondary and 3D-structure of the protein as well as the nucleotide sequence of its mRNA and gene. Northern blot studies showed that cystatin C was produced by all nucleated human cells. The biological function of cystatin C was suggested to be inhibition of cysteine proteinases by Grubb and coworkers in 1984. The role of cystatin C, and peptidyl derivatives mimicking its inhibitory site, in inhibiting the replication of viruses and bacteria was thereafter described, as well as its role in the hereditary disorder Hereditary Cystatin C Amyloid Angiopathy (HCCAA).
Role of Cystatin C in Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
Grubb and coworkers discovered in 1979 that cystatin C was a marker of GFR and could be used to estimate GFR. They have used cystatin C for estimation of GFR in the clinical routine since 1994. Grubb and coworkers have developed cystatin C-based GFR-estimating equations, which in several patient cohorts are superior in diagnostic efficiency to creatinine-based GFR-estimating equations, and, in contrast to creatinine-based GFR-estimating equations, do not require controversial coefficients for race or sex. Grubb was chairman of an IFCC working group for development of an international calibrator for cystatin C and such a calibrator, designated ERM-DA471/IFCC, was produced and described in 2010. In a proteomic study, Grubb and coworkers studied the plasma levels of 2893 proteins and found that cystatin C was the one with the highest correlation to measured GFR.
Cystatin C, Glomerular Filtration Quality and Shrunken Pore Syndrome
Grubb and coworkers have established that the most reliable way to estimate GFR is to use both a cystatin C-based and a creatinine-based GFR-estimating equation and compare the results of the two estimations. If they agree, the estimation has the same reliability as an invasive determination of GFR. This comparative procedure allowed the definition of a new type of kidney disorder characterized by a greater reduction of renal clearances of larger molecules (e.g. cystatin C, 13,343Da) than of smaller ones (e.g. creatinine, 113Da) and identified by a greater reduction of the cystatin C-based GFR-estimate (eGFRcystatin C) than that based upon creatinine (eGFRcreatinine). This kidney disorder was called Shrunken Pore Syndrome to emphasize the greater reduction in renal clearance of molecules bigger than creatinine in this disorder. Dardashti, Grubb and coworkers demonstrated that Shrunken Pore Syndrome was associated with a marked increase in mortality and that the lower the eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine-ratio, the higher the mortality. Grubb and coworkers have described that the pathophysiology of the syndrome might be connected to the altered proteome in the disorder with accumulation of inter alia atherosclerosis-promoting proteins. The syndrome has been described by Grubb and coworkers to be one of the most common kidney disorders.

Missa Sanctae Caeciliae (St. Cecilia Mass) in G major, ZWV 1, is a mass for voices and orchestra by Jan Dismas Zelenka. It was completed in 1711 as his the first work for the Dresden court.
Description
Missa Sanctae Caeciliae was the first composition Jan Dismas Zelenka presented after he was employed as a musician at the court in Dresden in 1711. He arrived from Prague in 1710 to serve as a double bass player in the court orchestra, and turned to composing sacred music for the court which had converted to the Catholic Church. The mass, named after St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, was first performed at the Catholic Court Chapel on 22 November that year, and repeated there on 12 January 1712, this time in the presence of the Saxon Elector and Polish King, August II. Zelenka revised it several times, and used some parts for other purposes.
The mass was first printed in 2014 by Edition Walhall, edited by Martin Kellhuber for the series of sacred music (Reihe geistlicher Musik) of the .
Structure and scoring
Zelenka structured the mass in several individual movements, subdividing the parts of the liturgical text especially in the Gloria and the Credo. He scored it for SATB soloists and choir, two oboes, bassoon, strings and continuo. The mass is in G major and takes c. 45 minutes to perform.

In this early work, described as "masterful" ("grande maîtrise") and "glorious", Zelenka used several features that became characteristic for his music, including "jaunty" rhythms, "intense" harmonies, vocal lines in high register and long fugue subjects. Zelenkas set Laudamus and Quoniam from the Gloria for soloists. The solo voices at time "oppose the choir dramatically", and choral fugues of great scope end the extended movements. The music is a precursor of the Viennese mass that flourished in the middle of the 18th century.
Recordings
Missa Sanctae Caeciliae was first recorded in 2021 by and the Prague Baroque Soloists, conducted by , with soloists Gabriela Eibenová, Kai Wessel, Tobias Hunger, Marián Krejčík and Jaromír Nosek In a series of Zelenka's works by the same performers, which previously contained psalm settings for Vespers and two masses, it was coupled with a Marian offertory hymn, Currite ad aras (Precipitate yourselves to the altars), ZWV 166, probably the first work composed in Vienna, in June 1716. A reviewer noted that the performers rose to the challenges with class.

Major William Sandys Elrington (1780–1860) was a British military officer, veteran of the Peninsula War, and colonial settler of New South Wales, Australia. He is associated with the locality of Farringdon and the village of Majors Creek, both near Braidwood.
Early life and military career
Elrington was born in Devon. His father was Captain Thomas Elrington, commander of a company of the Corps of Invalids at the Royal Citadel at Plymouth. He was from a long line of soldiers, and descended—at least, so he believed—from William the Conquerer.
Elrington followed his family's tradition of employment and joined the army in 1795. He had a 29-year military career, including service in the Peninsula War (from 1809 to 1813) with the 11th Regiment of Foot, before selling his commission in 1826 and migrating to Australia.
New South Wales
Migration
Elrington left Plymouth, in November 1826, and arrived in Sydney aboard Elizabeth, in April 1827. Early settlers would remember Elrington as a tall, red-headed, blue-eyed man, of soldierly bearing, carrying a scar on his forehead from being slashed with a sabre.
He had migrated to New South Wales during the administration of Governor Ralph Darling. Darling had been appointed with the objective of restoring discipline to the penal colony, after what was seen by the British government of the time as the relatively lax rule of Governor Macquarie and Governor Brisbane. Darling tended to rely upon like-minded military men to staff his administration, and he favoured many such men with grants of land.
Before Elrington had left England, he already had a land grant in New South Wales. He was appointed as a magistrate in 1828. In 1830, he was one of a number of prominent colonists, who were appointed as justices-of-the-peace, by Governor Darling.
Mount Elrington and other landholdings
After settler colonisation, the area now known as Farringdon lay within the Nineteen Counties that were open to settlement. Elrington took up a land grant of 2560 acres there, which became known as 'Mount Elrington', in 1827. His new estate lay, in the upper part of the valley of the Shoalhaven River, on a left-bank tributary now known as Mount Creek. Early settlers said that the native name for the area was Jingro, Jinero, or Jineroo. It lay on the traditional lands of the Walbanga people, a group of the Yuin, from whom it was taken by the land grant. In its early years, Mount Elrington was the location of an annual distribution of government blankets to the surviving Aboriginal people.
Mount Elrington was one of the earliest colonial settlements, in the area south of what would later, in 1839, become the town of Braidwood, Three other early settlers—Duncan Mackellar, John Coghill, and Thomas Braidwood Wilson—also took up land around Braidwood.
By 1828, using convict labour, he had cleared 500 acres of land and the estate was soon self-sufficient. Around 600 acres of the land was rich, alluvial, river-flat country, much of which may not have needed significant clearing. Although at the time the land was remote, it was arable and well-watered.
Unlike a number of other landholders in the Braidwood district, Elrington does not appear to have been a supporter or financial backer of The Wool Road, to Jervis Bay. In fact, around the same time, in 1842, he seems to have been involved in raising subscription funding for a rival private road, from Bellalaba to the port of Broulee. Such a road would have connected Mount Elrington to a seaport on the coast. The road was have followed part of a cart route blazed by Charles Nicholson, from Broulee to the Monaro, in 1841.
By August 1844, then 64 years old and seeking to retire, Elrington was trying to sell his land. By then, his landholding consisted of three large pieces of land; 'Mount Elrington' (2560 acres), 'Smithleagh' (1865 acres, on two titles of 1220 and 645 acres, its northern boundary adjoining Mount Elrington, and its eastern boundary being the Shoalhaven River) and 'Stork' (2560 acres, four miles east of 'Smithleagh'.) The names of the two later properties, are significant; it is almost certain that 'Smithleagh' was named for Mary Smith—whose name seems to have been on its two title deeds, as purchaser— and the oddly-named 'Stork' refers to the heraldic animal on the Elrington family coat of arms. There were also a large number of horses, sheep and cattle, some grazing on other land, as far away as the Monaro. By that time, Elrington was breeding fine horses. It appears that Elrington's land came with some pre-emptive rights, to adjoining government land, and that the total landholding was around 9300 acres.
His home at Mount Elrington was described as, "a substantial ten-roomed verandah dwelling, with stone store, and kitchen, a garden of six acres, well stocked with the choicest fruit trees, and vegetables, stables, cart sheds, sheep shed, forge, men's huts, saw pits, &c."
Colonial magistrate
In May 1828, Elrington was appointed as a magistrate, joining Captain John Coghill as a local Police Magistrate. Captain Duncan Mackellar was also a magistrate. All were local land-owners, using assigned convict labour. In 1838, he would be joined, by a newly-appointed magistrate for the Braidwood district, another ex-military man and landowner, Lieutenant Colonel John Mackenzie of Nerriga. Mercifully, each magistrate was prohibited from trying their own assigned convicts, and for more serious offences were required to adjudicate in pairs.
When the liberal-minded Richard Bourke replaced Ralph Darling as Governor in late 1831, he was horrified at the severity and arbitrary application of punishments being given to convicts. In August 1832, he had passed the Offenders Punishment and Summary Jurisdiction Act, which for the first time both codified and limited the penalties that could be imposed on convicts. There was resistance from existing magistrates, but the reforms were implemented, and improved, if only relatively, the treatment of convicts.
As might be expected from a martinet like Elrington, he was an advocate of summary punishment and greater powers for single magistrates. Hearings were held at his home at Mount Elrington, which given the absence of a nearby town, at the time, was more reasonable than it first might appear. A constable was stationed at Mount Elrington.
Local lore has it that two gum trees, on the Shoalhaven River near Mount Elrington, which were cut down in the 1920s, had been used as makeshift gallows, and hangings were carried out there. This local legend seems unlikely, as magistrates could not impose the death sentence, although they certainly could, and did, impose penalties involving flogging or imprisonment. It is said that, locally, Elrington was known as 'the flogging Major'.
Remoteness from large towns with prisons was not without its consequences. One particularly egregious case was that of a fifteen year old, free-born, orphaned servant girl, Martha Cadman—sentenced by Elrington to three months, 'for improper conduct in her hired service'—who was raped by one of the ex-convict constables escorting her to the 'House of Correction', in 1836. The constable, Patrick Brady, escaped the death penalty, although found guilty. Despite her personal courage in reporting the offence and later giving evidence, it did not end well for Martha, reportedly later the 'kept mistress' of one of the jurors at Brady's trial. In hindsight, these appalling outcomes had been triggered by Elrington's harsh sentencing of Martha, for running away from an employer, whom she said had ill used her, and remaining at large for just two days.
Elrington resigned as a magistrate, unexpectedly, around September 1839. He did not comment publicly on his resignation. It seems that the cause was a disagreement with Governor Gipps. Elrington had refused to endorse the ticket-of-leave application of one of his former convict stockmen, whom he suspected was a cattle thief, but Gipps granted the ticket-of-leave.
Convict servants
As part of the convict system, male and female convicts were assigned to landowners, as labourers, stockmen, gardeners, shepherds, servants, or people with trades of various kinds. By 1841, there were 59 people living at Mount Elrington, the majority of whom were assigned convicts. It is reported that at dinner time, Elrington sat at one end of the table and at the other, his son, Richard, each with a loaded pistol, and that no convict servant was allowed to walk behind either of them. Recalcitrant convicts were kept in a small prison at Mount Elrington.
The estate was near the frontier of 'legal' colonial settlement, and conditions were harsh. Assigned convicts sometimes took their chance to abscond from Mount Elrington. One convict of African descent, named Moses, was said to have managed to stay at large for several weeks, by living on raw potatoes, turnips, and corn stolen from the estate's fields at night. Found living, in a cavity in the river bank, only a quarter of a mile from the estate, gaunt and famished, Moses returned willingly, such was his condition. The penalty for an absconding male convict was a flogging, up to 50 lashes. Repeat offences could result in a sentence to work, in leg irons, on a government road gang. Escape from a road gang brought more severe punishment, up to 100 lashes.
One of Elrington's assigned convicts, John Hare, had absconded twice and was about to be punished with 100 lashes, when he broke away and attacked Elrington. Hare brought two large stones down on Elrington's head, while shouting that he would take Elrington's life. Although he survived the attack, the head wound had a lasting impact on Elrington, who reported frequent giddiness and nervousness. In February 1836, charged with attempted murder, Hare was convicted, by a jury, of assault with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. He was executed in March 1836, for the attempted murder of Elrington.
Eventually, with the cessation of convict transportation in 1840 and the end of the assignment of new convicts to private service on 21 July 1841—which created a shortage of new low-cost labour— the economic basis of estates like Mount Elrington began to change gradually, from an excess of compelled, unpaid labour to free, paid labour.
Family, later life, and death
By the time that he came to Australia, his wife, Elizabeth (née Caines), about whom little is known with certainty, was already dead. He had two sons, Clement Caines Elrington (born c.1807) and Richard Goodall Elrington (1814—1870), both graduates of Cambridge. Richard—who had exactly the same name as his father's elder brother—came to Australia with his father and a much older woman, Mary Smith, thought to be William's old nanny, who acted as a housekeeper. Mary seems to have been the widow of a sergeant of Elrington's father's invalid company. It is said that she called Elrington, 'the boy', and Richard, 'the young boy'. Judging by his age, it seems that Richard may have returned to England for a period to complete his studies.
Richard, who was headstrong, much like his father, wanted to marry Louisa Clarke (1810—1893), the sister of Dr George Clarke, medical practioner, of Penrith. Although Louisa was a highly educated, beautiful young woman, Elrington objected to the marriage—Louisa was the daughter of a London merchant and thus 'in trade'—and would not consent to it. The couple eloped, marrying at Campbelltown, in 1838, and living for a time in Sydney, where Richard worked as a tutor and Louisa as a governess. Elrington responded by disinheriting Richard. The imminent birth of a grandchild restored relations between Elrington and his son. Richard and heavily-pregnant Lousa returned to live at Mount Elrington. A granddaughter was born there, in 1839, followed by a grandson, in 1841. Elrington became reconciled to his son's marriage, and very fond of Louisa and the children. Sadly, the harmony did not last. A quarrel over the management of the estate, resulted in harsh words and in father and son shaping to fight a duel. At the last moment, Elrington threw down his pistol and apologised to his son. However, Richard had reached the end of his relationship with an overbearing father; he left Mount Elrington, immediately thereafter, with his wife and two children, ignoring the pleas of his then remorseful father.
Richard and his family, apparently now estranged from Elrington, were living in Sydney by 1845 and, in the same year, Mary Smith died and was buried at Mount Elrington. Elrington sold his land and left Australia, for good, in 1846. He died, at his home in Southsea, Hampshire, on 4 May 1860
Richard Elrington, discovered his vocation as a Shakespearian actor, and remained in Australia. By 1847, he was performing in Victoria, and living there with his family. Louisa, making use of her education and talents, taught for a living, as did Richard at times.. Richard died at Ararat in 1870, survived by his wife, Louisa, two daughters, and four sons. The other Richard Goodall Elrington (1776—1845), William Sandys Elrington's elder brother, was a lifelong soldier who, despite a court-marital in 1831-1832, reached the rank of Major-General.
Clement, Elrington's elder son, came to Australia in 1835, as a Lieutenant of the 4th Regiment of Foot, escorting convicts. He had only recently joined that regiment which was bound for New South Wales, and possibly only did so to make the journey with a source of income. Once in New South Wales, in 1836, he sold his commission and retired from the army. In 1840, he bought 640 acres of land—at a lower cost, as a result of his recent military service—far from Mount Elrington, near Maitland, in the Hunter Valley. However, he was very different in temperament to both his father and his younger brother, Richard. He sold the land for a quick profit, in 1841, and he is now mainly remembered as a minor poet. Although uncertain, it is likely that he later returned to England, where he died a bachelor. Although Clement had owned the land in the Hunter Valley only briefly, his name remained associated with it. His former land was later a part of the vast South Maitland coalfields, and the Elrington Colliery and the locality of Elrington, near Cessnock, are named after him.
Legacy
Elrington is remembered by the name of Elrington Street, in Braidwood, most street names of which are taken from those of early settlers of the surrounding region.
South of Braidwood, a settlement officially known as Elrington came into being, around 1840. From the time of the first gold mining, around 1851, it was better known as Majors Creek, but still was at least officially, Elrington. Both these names stem from Major William Sandys Elrington. Majors Creek's sole commercial business, its hotel and post office agency, is still known as the Elrington Hotel. The cadestral area containing the town of Majors Creek is known as the Parish of Elrington.
His former home, still known as 'Mount Elrington', is renowned for the remnants of its historic garden. The garden was begun by Elrington, who brought many of the trees and shrubs from England. His old home retained its small prison, complete with leg irons, until the early 1920s. The old house still stands, in somewhat modified condition, on Mount Elrington Road, but the locality—once Mount Elrington—is now known as Farringdon.
During the late 1920s, Elrington's great-grandaughter Eleanor Anne Ogilvy (née Hewetson) wrote a screenplay, 'The Martinet', about the life and times of Elrington and her grandparents, Richard Elrington and Louisa Clarke. The plot is loosely aligned with the family historical narrative that she wrote as a newspaper article, in 1923. In the screenplay, she disguised the Elrington family—probably in deference to her Elrington cousins—by making the characters' surname 'Sandys'—Elrington's middle name—although other historical characters, such as the Clarke family, retained their names. She also admitted that she deviated from the historical narrative in the character of 'Lieutenant Sandys', the elder son, and there are some differences from the sequence of actual events. Copyright over the screenplay was granted, in 1930, and a copy of the screenplay is held in the National Archives of Australia, but It seems that the film was never made.

KAPS is an active protection system developed by the Agency for Defense Development and Hanwha Thales for K2 Black Panther in 2011. The name KAPS is an abbreviation of the Korean Active Protection System. In order to strengthen the viability of main battle tank in South Korea, it was decided to introduce a hard-kill active protection system that will be applied to K2 Black Panther tanks and completed the development under the leadership of Agency for Defense Development from 2006 to December 2011.
Description
The KAPS was developed to protection against K2 Black Panther tanks from anti-tank rockets and anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). Unlike active protection system of guided disturbance (Soft-kill), It is composed of 2 search and tracking radars, 2 IR trackers, 1 fire control computer, 2 grenade launchers and 4 responsive bomb.
Based on the location, distance, and speed information of the approaching rocket or missile, FMCW radar and laceration trackers calculate detection and tracking information, and based on this, the fire control computer controls threat judgment and countermeasure to issue a countermeasure command with a grenade launcher. The FMCW radar detects rockets and AGTM flying 100 to 150 meters from the tank, and when the projectile approaches 10 to 15 meters near the tank, it fires 70 mm of grenade from the grenade launcher to neutralize the projectile.
The initial design of KAPS considered the development of a method consisting of a ring-shaped grenade launcher and a long cylindrical shaped grenade launcher that can fire two 70 mm grenades. Since then, the plan has been changed to develop a ring-shaped grenade launcher in the form of fixing the grenade with a ring to reduce the weight of the grenade launcher.
The grenade launcher is designed to move in a two-axis manner and can fire grenades within the range of 60 degrees above and below. 2 grenade launchers capable of firing 70 mm grenades aim in the same direction to prepare for the threat of successive rockets to the tank or the attack of AGTM.
Installation test
ADD and DAPA conducted the test of KAPS in February 2012. In this test, the KAPS successfully intercepted RPG-7 and Metis-M rockets approaching 10 to 15 meters in front of the tank in 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.
Status
KAPS was developed for the K2 Black Panther, but it was not mounted in the K2 tank due to high production costs, concerns about damage to infantry, and needed additional improvements to the system. The K2 tank currently being mass-produced is equipped with only a Soft-kill active protection systems. In the future, KAPS will be installed in the K2 PIP, an improved model of the K2 Black Panther.

Ruben Esparza (he/him) is a Los Angeles-based queer artist, activist, and independent curator. He is known for utilizing art of different mediums to educate and empower the LGBTQ+ community in a variety of topics.
Early life
Esparza (1962–Present) was born in El Paso, Texas. In high school, Esparza’s interest in art would be brought out when he isolated himself and did collage work using materials from libraries. Eventually, he settled in Los Angeles, California, where he pursues most of his work.
Personal motivations
Esparza finds importance with expressing queer art since queer couples typically do not have the opportunity to procreate. As such, queer art, to Esparza, acts as a representation of the beauty behind intimacy in the queer community. In his art, he touches on topics ranging from queer and Latin histories to the horrors of colonization to specific sociopolitical agendas that promote brownness and queerness.
Notable projects
From the Archives to the Archives
This exhibition was a reproduction of LGBTQ protest signs from the late twentieth century.
Orlando Shooting Tribute
This tribute was meant to bring community to the queer community. Esparza expressed that sentiment by writing the names of the victims with his own blood.
Anti-President Trump Protest Series
Activism was pursued in this project by Esparza. The goal through the series was to promote Anti-Trump sentiments and to apply that to political action in the 2020 election.
Queer Biennial
Esparza founded the Queer Biennial in Los Angeles, which is a showcase that curates a variety of queer artists to reflect queerness.

Şehzade Mehemd Abdülhalim (; 27 September 1894 – 26 May 1926) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Şehzade Selim Süleyman, and the grandson of Sultan Abdulmejid I.
Early life
Şehzade Mehmed Abdülhalim was born on 28 September 1894 in the Feriye Palace. His father was Şehzade Selim Süleyman, son of Sultan Abdulmejid I and Serfiraz Hanım and his mother was Fatma İkbal Hanım. In 1899, he was circumcised together with Şehzade Abdurrahim Hayri, son of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Şehzade Mehmed Cemaleddin, son of Şehzade Mehmed Şevket.
Education and career
In 1914, Abdülhalim along with other princes, Şehzade Abdurrahim Hayri, son of Sultan Abdul Hamid, Şehzade Osman Fuad, son of Şehzade Mehmed Selaheddin, were sent to the Potsdam Military Academy as the guests of Kaiser Wilhelm II, where Şehzade Ömer Faruk, the son of Abdulmejid II, later joined them. The Kaiser had admitted these four princes into the Imperial Guard of Hussars, the personal guard regiment of the Kaiser. After graduating from the Potsdam Military Academy he served as Captain at the Berlin royal court.
He participated in the Balkan Wars, that took place in the Balkan Peninsula in 1912 and 1913, and was injured in the war. During the First World War, he was given the command of the automobile detachments with the rank of colonel. Because of being the brother-in-law of the Minister of War, Enver Pasha, he was a popular prince. He supported the Ankara movement, and even helped many of his friends move to Anatolia. By 1918, he was serving as major in the infantry. He was also serving as honorary aide-de-camp to the Sultan.
Personal life
In 1908, Sultan Abdul Hamid arranged his son Şehzade Abdurrahim's marriage to Abdülhalim's half-sister Naciye Sultan. However, Naciye and her family were not told of this decision. When they came to know about the decision, Abdülhalim's father opposed it, as Naciye was only twelve years old at that time. However, his father couldn't opposed his brother, and was obliged to accept it, and so Naciye was engaged to Abdurrahim.
In 1909, after the engagement, Abdülhalim received a letter, which said that he will be killed if the engagement is not broken off. Abdülhalim's mother, İkbal Hanım, informed Sultan Mehmed V about this situation, after which the Sultan ordered the first secretory Halid Ziya Bey, to carry out an investigation. It turned out that Abdülhalim himself wrote this letter as he was against this engagement. After the incident, Sultan Mehmed broke of the engagement, and engaged Naciye to Enver Pasha.
Abdülhalim owned his father's villa in Bebek known as "Nisbettiye Mansion". His only wife was Samiye Hanım. She was born on 1 February 1896 in Üsküdar. They married on 10 August 1913 in the Nisbettiye Mansion. On 21 June 1920, she gave birth to Fatma Samire Sultan, followed three years later by Şehzade Cengiz, born on 23 December 1925. She died in 1947.
Exile and death
At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Abdülhalim and his family settled in Paris, France, where he died on 26 May 1926. He was buried in Sultan Selim Mosque, Damascus, Syria.

Hans Heller (born in 1898) was a composer of classical music. He fled Nazi Germany in 1933 to France. Following France's occupation, he was first taken to an internment camp and then made to do forced labour in Organization Todt. Heller was warned of his imminent deportation to Auschwitz by a member of the SS and escaped, surviving in a Resistance hiding place until the end of the occupation. His persecution by the Nazis resulted in his compositions being unheard until the 21st century when they were rediscovered by pianist and musicologist Prof. Dr. Jascha Nemtsov.

MS Bleichen is a museum ship in the port of Hamburg, which has its berth in the Hansa port on Bremer Kai in front of Shed 50. The ship, built in 1958, is a breakbulk cargo carrier of its time and is located in front of the listed general cargo storage shed used by the port museum.
Design
The Bleichen has midships and stern superstructures, a deck design that went out of fashion as early as the 1950s, but guaranteed a high level of comfort in the center bridge, as it was less affected by engine vibrations and noise. Despite its age, the ship is largely unchanged and in good condition. The ship's diesel engine from Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz has remained unchanged, as have the steering gear, the lifeboats and the propeller. According to information provided by former crew members, the interior is also in its original condition.
The Bleichen was therefore built with a high ice class in order to be able to navigate the Baltic Sea all year round.
Construction and career
The ship was built at the Nobiskrug Shipyard in Rendsburg for the Hamburg shipping company H. M. Gehrckens (HMG) and put into service under the name of Bleichen on 28 August 1958. Like its sister ship Borgesch, the freighter was named after an old Hamburg street. The Bleichen was a typical general cargo ship, as it was in use before the advent of container ships. The Gehrckens shipping company used their ships in the Scandinavian trade.
The ship transported paper from Finland to Germany until 1970. In 1970 it was given the name Canale Grande by the new Italian owner. The Canale Grande was bought by a Turkish shipowner in 1979 and renamed Arcipel. The ship was used from 1994 to December 2006 under the name Old Lady for transporting bulk cargo in the Black Sea.
Due to the construction as a three-island ship and the complex operation, the operation of the ship was no longer profitable. The Bleichen had relatively small hatches and tween decks, making loading and unloading inefficient by today's standards. With a crew of 22 men, it took three days to load 2,000 tons of scrap. The ship was to be decommissioned and scrapped.
The Hamburg Maritime Foundation, which was looking for a general cargo ship for its museum at the Shed 50, the last remaining Hamburg quay shed from the time of the German Empire, became aware of the ship in 2006 and decided to buy it. The purchase price of 450,000 euros was raised through donations. After a stay in the shipyard in Turkey, it was transferred to Hamburg in January 2007, where it arrived on January 30, 2007.
On 27 April 2007, the Old Lady was christened back to her first name, Bleichen. Since then it has sailed again under the German flag with its home port of Hamburg. On February 6, 2007, a works association "Friends of the General Cargo Freighter MS Bleichen" was founded for restoration and operation. The restoration is to be carried out by volunteers and by the "Youth in Work" project. The restoration time was estimated at around three years, but took longer. Deficiencies were found in the midships superstructure and the main engine, which will take longer than expected to be rectified.
On 24 October 2017, the Bleichen was successfully tested and accepted on the Elbe. Guest trips have been offered again since 2018.

Thomas Paul Chipp (25 May 1793 – 19 June 1870) was an English harpist and composer.
Biography
Chipp was born in London in 1793, joining the choir of Westminster Abbey where he was taught the piano by Muzio Clementi. However, it was on the harp where he distinguished himself, writing many popular pieces, as well as longer compositions for other instruments including a trio for violin, viola, and cello (c.1820), a string quintet in E minor (1836), and a string quartet (1845).
He joined Covent Garden Orchestra when he was 25 years old under Henry Bishop, moving to Her Majesty's Theatre a year later in 1826. In later life he was better known as a timpanist, playing for the New Philharmonic Society in 1852.
For over fifty years he played in all the principal London orchestras, at three coronations (George IV, William IV, and Victoria) and at all the principal festivals. His last public appearance was in 1866 at the Worcester Festival.
He died on 19 June 1870 in Camden Town, leaving two sons, Edmund, a composer and organist, and Horatio, a cellist. He was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.
