Charon i Luren tutar (Charon blows his horn) is epistle No. 79 in the Swedish poet and performer Carl Michael Bellman's 1790 song collection, Fredman's Epistles. The epistle is subtitled "Afsked til Matronorna, synnerligen til Mor Maja Myra i Solgränden vid Stortorget, Anno 1785" (Farewell to the Matrons, especially to Mother Maja Myra in Solgränd by Stortorget, Anno 1785). The song describes Jean Fredman's departure from the world.
The ferryman of the underworld in classical mythology, Charon, asks Fredman to come with him, suggesting to some scholars that Fredman had already died and crossed the River Styx, but had wandered back to his old haunts in Stockholm. Even as Charon fetches him, he drinks a mug of ale, a liquid that is ascribed almost magical properties; it runs down his closes, so that before death Fredman is baptised in beer, recalling to scholars the sponge soaked in sour wine that refreshes Jesus on the cross.

The song describes Jean Fredman's departure from the world.
Reception and legacy
Bellman's biographers, the scholar of literature Lars Lönnroth and Carina Burman, both devote substantial sections of their accounts of Fredman's Epistles to No. 79.
Lönnroth writes that from the earliest epistles, Death was present amongst the Bacchanalian tumult of drinking brothers and attractive sisters. In epistle 79, he appears as Charon, the dour ferryman of the underworld who carries souls across the River Styx, never to return. The epistle's approach resembles that of one of the oldest, epistle 24 Kära syster! (Dear Sister), which also speaks of Charon, and which is similarly addressed to a tavern's landlady, who Fredman hopes will give him some brandy before he dies. The later epistle, however, goes much further in describing the storm that breaks out around Fredman's impending death, echoing Bellman's own storm narrative in Bacchi Tempel or the depiction of catastrophe in Bengt Lidner's best-known poem, "Spastaras död" (Spastara's death). The account is both apocalyptic and everyday, familiar verbs like "tutar" ("hoots") undermining the high-sounding rhetoric. Meanwhile, the melody, which may well be one of the few that Bellman composed rather than adapted, contributes to the unnerving effect with dissonant chords and startling intervals. The boundary between what Lönnroth calls "hallucinatory fantasy" and reality is quite unclear; in the second verse, Fredman tries to adjust his tavern credit note with the landlady, a seemingly earthy matter, but it might symbolise his book of sins, a serious concern that Bellman makes comic. Then Fredman, again in high spirits, sets up his will and renounces worldly things, before quickly turning to praise for the pub's beer. The fourth stanza is tragicomic, as in epistle 23, Ack du min moder (Alas though my mother), Fredman despairs over the condition in which he is going to face death. In the final stanza, the doomsday mood returns, and Fredman stands in Charon's ferry in a tremendous thunderstorm, before the stars go out and death's agony begins. In the last line, Fredman cheerfully wishes the landlady good night ("God natt Madame!") and goes to meet his fate. Lönnroth remarks that death may have triumphed, but Fredman is not wholly destroyed.
Burman comments in her biography that Fredman takes his fictional departure in the epistle. The real watchmaker Jean Fredman was in fact already dead (he died in 1767), but now in 1785 death has caught up with his fictional alter ego. Burman writes that just as Shakespeare lets the whole of nature react to Macbeth's regicide, so Bellman has the storms, the moon and the stars revolve around Fredman. Both men, she states, knew their bible, and there are echoes here of Matthew's "and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent". As so often, Bellman combines mythology and realism. Even with one foot in Charon's boat, Fredman drains his last mug of ale. New ale, or "wort" as Bellman calls it, is ascribed almost magical life-giving properties; it overflows and runs down Fredman's clothes, so that before death he is baptised in beer, recalling to Burman the sponge soaked in sour wine that the Roman soldiers offered to Jesus on the cross: "[Fredman] the apostle of brandy is sacrificed for us" and the epistle ends with nature in uproar.
All the same, Burman writes, Fredman isn't quite finished. There remain among his epistles No. 80 Liksom en herdinna (As a shepherdess), the bravura pastorale; No. 81 Märk hur vår skugga (Mark how our shadow) "dictated at the grave" where Charon can be seen waving, and finally No. 82 Hvila vid denna källa (Rest by this spring), which is stated to be a departure. Burman notes that where epistle 79's farewell is dark and apocalyptic, epistle 82's is its bright counterpart, with music, green grass, and Ulla Winblad's beauty around the dying Fredman.
The scholar of Swedish language drew attention to a curious feature of the epistle, as also of epistles 3 (Fader Berg i hornet stöter) and 58 (Hjertat mig klämmer), namely that Charon keeps coming to find Fredman. She noted that the literary and theatre critic had suggested in the 1960s that the reason for this was that Fredman had already crossed the Styx, and had returned to haunt his favourite places; Charon had then come to take him back to the underworld where he belonged.
Epistle 79 has been recorded by Sven-Bertil Taube on his 1987 album Fredmans Epistlar och Sånger; and by the actor Mikael Samuelson on his 1988 album C. M. Bellman. It has been translated into English by Eva Toller in 2009 and by John Irons in 2020.

Alessandro François (1796-1857) was an Italian archaeologist. He was also a scholar, and war commissioner of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the mid-19th century.
Biography
After travelling widely in his youth, François decided in 1825 to excavate Etruscan sites, including Cosa, Cortona, Volterra, Fiesole, Vetulonia, Populonia, Chiusi and Vulci. He discovered several black-figure vase fragments in 1844 at Fonte Rotelle near Chiusi. He discovered more fragments in 1845, and the pieces were assembled into a complete vase of the highest quality, subsequently named after him, which was purchased by Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1846 for the Uffizi Gallery.
In 1857, François discovered a spectacular painted Etruscan tomb, which has also been named after him.
François created his own excavation society and kept his finds in his home in Florence. Numerous attempts to found a museum to house his finds failed, despite his appealing to potential sponsors in Italy and to the French government. François fell ill and died in 1857. He left no published writing.
Discoveries
The François Vase
François found the large Attic volute krater in 1844 near Chiusi in one of his most famous excavations, and it takes its name from him. This masterpiece of black-figure pottery is the work of Ergotimos (potter) and Kleitias (painter), and is dated to circa 560-550 BCE. It measures in height and in maximum circumference; on it are represented, on horizontal bands, mythological figures and Homeric episodes.
The François Tomb
Another important find by François was the Etruscan tomb at Vulci, Lazio which also takes his name. The tomb is decorated with paintings representing battles between Romans and Etruscans, and scenes of execution of Trojan prisoners. One of the figures in the tomb represents Mastarna (a legendary figure whom the Emperor Claudius identified with Servius Tullius).

Qiuwen is a free content online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers through a model of open collaboration, using a wiki-based editing system. As of February 9, 2022, the number of Chinese articles reached 630,000. It is hosted by the Wikimedians of Mainland China (WMC).
Background
In a 2021 Wikimedia Foundation actions on the Chinese Wikipedia, several WMC members were blocked by the Wikimedia Foundation domain-wide, which means they will never be able to participate in Wikipedia writing. In an interview with the BBC in late October 2021, WMC member Techyan said the user group was attempting to create a "Chinese version of Wikipedia", a platform that would represent Beijing's views on some political issues for people in mainland China to access without a VPN and receive censorship from the People's Republic of China government, and would use some of Wikipedia's content.
Related Information
In December 2021, WMC member Techyan told Fast Company that "a tech giant" was negotiating a partnership with them, and that more than 40 Chinese Wikipedia editors had joined Qiuwen, which has a total of 200 active editors, and that people would be involved in both Wikipedia and Qiuwen.
In February 2022, it was announced that ByteDance was providing technical and financial support for WMC's newly created "Qiuwen", but this was denied by ByteDance's subsidiary Baike.com.

Moses Ferst (24 September 1828 – 13 August 1889) was a German-American businessman based in Savannah, Georgia, where he was a merchant and a noted citizen. A stained-glass window in Savannah's Congregation Mickve Israel, one of the oldest synagogues in the United States, was made and installed in his honour.
Early life
Ferst was born on 24 September 1828 in Altdorf bei Nürnberg, Bavaria, Germany. His family emigrated to United States in the early 1840s. They settled in New York, where Ferst later founded a wholesale grocery business, Lehman and Ferst. It became very successful. A Jew, he became a member New York's B'nai B'rith Lebanon Lodge.
Career
In June 1865, after the conclusion of the American Civil War, Ferst and his family moved south to Savannah, Georgia, where he established his own wholesale grocery business, M. Ferst and Company, and became recognised as a leading citizen. His company became one of the largest such businesses in the state, and its success allowed it to move to the northern side of Savannah's Bay Street, immediately to the west of the City Exchange, which was replaced in 1905 by today's Savannah City Hall. The business was previously located on the southern side of West Bay Street, at today's number 103. Next door to the west was fellow grocer Simon Guckheimer – another Bavarian, from Burghaslach. Ferst's sons were also involved in the business at its new location.
The building was demolished in 1969 and replaced, twelve years later, by today's Hyatt Regency Savannah.
Personal life
Ferst married compatriot Regina Hannah Epstein (1835–1874) in New York. They had three children there: Joseph (1858–1926), Aaron Harold (1859–1919) and Rachel (born 1861). Joseph was a director of the Southern Bank of Georgia in 1902.
After moving to Savannah, where the family lived at 108 Liberty Street, the connections he made in the north assisted in the procuring of funds to help build a new (and current) sanctuary at the Congregation Mickve Israel in the 1870s. He was also part of a committee that hired Rabbi Isaac Mendes, who served as the synagogue's rabbi for around 25 years and who officiated at Ferst's funeral.
Prior to Hannah's death in 1874 at the age of around 39, the couple had four more children in Savannah (two of whom died very young): Henry (1866–1867), Gertrude Rebecca (1869–1872), Leopold ("Leon"; 1870–1927) and Miriam ("Mazie") (1874–).
Ferst was active in Savannah at the same time as fellow Bavarian, architect Augustus Schwaab.
Death
Ferst died unexpectedly on 13 August 1889, at the home of Joseph Strauss, his business partner back in Savannah, while in New York. He had been on vacation in Saratoga for a month, but had been staying with Strauss for a couple of weeks. Ferst was 60 years old, and his death occurred eleven months after the completion and opening of his new grocery building.
His family was informed of the news the following morning. In the care of Strauss, his body was returned to Savannah on the Atlantic Coast steam line on 16 August, and then lay in repose at the family home for a few hours. One of the floral tributes left on his coffin was from the employees at his company; it read "Our Beloved Employer". His funeral took place that afternoon, followed by a burial in Savannah's Laurel Grove North Cemetery. As a mark of respect, several Savannah businesses closed during the service. He is buried alongside his wife, who preceded him in death by fifteen years (she died in 1874, the same year as their final child, Miriam, was born). Six of the Fersts' children are buried at Laurel Grove; Leon is interred in a family tomb in Bonaventure Cemetery.
A stained-glass window in Savannah's Congregation Mickve Israel, one of the oldest synagogues in the United States, was made and installed in his honour. Depicting the Five Books of Moses and the Lion of Judah and containing the wording His soul shall abide in happiness, it is located on the Wayne Street (northern) side of the sanctuary he helped fund. Ferst's granddaughter Ruth Ferst Byck (1905–1992), daughter of Leon, was a member of the congregation and a leader in the community.

Paul Giles is an English-born academic, author and researcher. He is a Professor of English in the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences at the Australian Catholic University.
Giles’ research interests surround the theory and practice of transnationalism and the American literature and culture. Some of his books include Transnationalism in Practice: Essays on American Studies, Literature and Religion (2010); Transatlantic Insurrections: British Culture and the Formation of American Literature, 1730-1860 (2001); Atlantic Republic: The American Tradition in English Literature (2006); American Catholic Arts and Fictions: Culture, Ideology, Aesthetics (1992); Virtual Americas: Transnational Fictions and the Transatlantic Imaginary (2002); The Global Remapping of American Literature (2011); and Hart Crane: The Contexts of The Bridge (1986). More recently, he has extended this transnational method to Australian literature, in Backgazing: Reverse Time in Modernist Culture (2019) and The Planetary Clock: Antipodean Time and Spherical Postmodern Fictions (2021).
Giles is a Fellow of the Australian Academy for the Humanities and has been a Professorial Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford where he continues as a Supernumerary Fellow. He is a series Editor for Anthem Studies in Global English Literatures and has been a co-editor of Australasian Journal of American Studies and was an Editor of American literature, Oxford Handbooks Online. He is a member of the advisory board for the Institute of World Literature.
Education
Giles was educated at Brentwood School in Essex, and then did his B.A in English at Christ Church, Oxford in 1979. He received his M.A. in 1984 and his D.Phil. in 1985 from Oxford.
Career
After completing his D.Phil., Giles began his academic career as a lecturer in Humanities at the University of Staffordshire from 1985 to 1987. He then worked as an Assistant and subsequently as a tenured Associate Professor of English at Portland State University in Oregon from 1987 to 1994, after which he returned to the UK and was a Lecturer and Reader in American Studies at the University of Nottingham until 1999. He then moved to Cambridge University as a University Lecturer in American Literature and Fellow of Fitzwilliam College till 2002. He then returned to Oxford where he became statutory Reader in American Literature from 2002 to 2009, with the title of Professor. In January 2010 he moved to Australia, where he worked at the University of Sydney as Challis Professor of English until 2022. He is now a Professor of English in the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne.
Giles served as the Director of Rothermere American Institute at Oxford from 2003 to 2008. He was also President of the International American Studies Association from 2005 to 2007, and took up the position of President of the International Association of University Professors of English in 2019.
Research
Most of Giles's research has been focused upon transnational approaches to American literature and culture. Initially his research interests centered on American modernist poetry, which resulted in his first book on Hart Crane that developed out of his Ph.D. In 1987, his interests developed into a study of secularized transformations of Catholicism and its impact on American culture, and after his return to England he continued to work on transatlantic literary relations and American culture in an international context. After his move to Australia, this comparative perspective was given a specifically transpacific dimension. His most recent work includes a comparative cultural study of temporality in the modernist and postmodernist periods.
Theory and Practice of Transnationalism
In a 2019 address to the English Language and Literature Association of Korea, Giles suggested that civil wars might be perceived as precursors to transnational understandings of a national body. He had previously written in Transatlantic Insurrections about how the American Revolution might be understood as a civil war, and in Atlantic Republic of how American ideologies of liberty opened up divisions with the British body politic. An article by him argues that historic treatments of romanticism have, more often than not, overlooked the complicated ways in which transpacific space enters into Romantic poetics and how those aesthetic constructions have molded global political imaginaries. He has also discussed the academic institutionalization of English studies as a comparatively recent phenomenon, something that occurred many centuries after the establishment of the Classics, and he explains how the subject's fast expansion happened after World War II. In another article, he suggested a new scholarly direction in the field of American Studies as he outlined the specific challenges and opportunities that come with teaching such a course within an Australian context.
In his book Backgazing: Reverse Time in Modernist Culture, Giles focused on the way time is characterized in reverse forms all through modernist literature and culture. It is specifically concerned with the way in which antipodean reorientations of chronological scale reconfigure the way in which conventional temporal categories of modernism are comprehended. Philip Mead in the Australian Book Review said "Two of the bravura readings at the centre of this study are of Thomas Mann and Eleanor Dark. It's worth reading this book for these alone...There are many fascinating points of difference with Dark. There is also a fascinating interlude about H.G. Wells, his entanglements with Australia, and his The Conquest of Time (1942), with a fitting preface about Douglas Sirk's 1937 film To New Shores (Zu neuen Ufern)" In another book entitled The Planetary Clock, he talks about how time is represented in postmodern culture and how temporality manifests itself as a global phenomenon across an antipodean axis. The earlier book Transatlantic Insurrections: British Culture and the Formation of American Literature details the paradoxical relations between English and American Literature from 1730 to 1860. It describes the way in which literary traditions are formed within each national culture and their deep dependency upon negotiations with each other's transatlantic counterpart. He detailed how going beyond the British culture's conventions were crucial for the making of American literature as a separate entity, and he describes how the consolidation of British cultural identity evolved in part as a response to the need to stifle the memory and consequences of losing the United States in the American revolutionary wars. Lance Newman in his review praised the book and said that “This is the kind of sensitively historicist approach we need to understand the period’s complex and fluid co-evolution of British and American literary cultures and national identities.” In Antipodean America: Australasia and the Constitution of U. S. Literature, Giles talks about how the formation of American literature has been affected by Australia and New Zealand since the eighteenth century. It discusses how the antipodes, as a historical fact and a philosophical idea, influenced American writers in the territory that came to be called Australasia after the British settlement of this South Pacific region. A review by Nicholas Birns in the Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature stated that "Giles possesses an uncanny ability to mount a paradigmatic, discipline-altering argument while giving convincing, interesting close readings of books and careers, a feature that makes this book at once not just an interpretively dazzling performance but a book that teacher and student can have ready at hand, to consult for reference, and, since the book is written with flair and elegance, delight."
American Literature and Culture
In a 2017 paper, Giles considers the relation between institutional formations of World Literature and International American Studies. Comparisons are made between International American Studies and the American Studies movement that emerged from the United States itself. His book The Global Remapping of American Literature lays out how the cartographies of the field, as an institutional category, have fluctuated across different times and spaces. According to Philip Mead “Giles has done important work reimagining North American literary history as allied rather than isolationist – revisioning American literature not as the definition of landlocked nation or exceptional homeland but as the product of transatlantic and continental traverses of forms and voices.” In Transnationalism in Practice: Essays on American Studies, Literature and Religion, Giles presents a collection of fourteen different essays spanning 1994 to 2004 on the topic of American studies, literature and religion. In his introduction for this book, he outlines the evolution of critical transnationalism as it grew in the 1980s and 1990s. He also discussed secular transformations of religious ideas in American Catholic Arts and Fictions: Culture, Ideology, Aesthetics, as they mold the style and substance of works by American artists, filmmakers, and writers with Catholic backgrounds. He describes how American writers have represented and mythologized Catholicism, often in oblique or indirect ways. According to James T. Fisher in the Modern Language Quarterly, "Students of American Catholic literature and history will read Paul Giles's American Catholic Arts and Fictions: Culture, Ideology, Aesthetics with a deep sense of gratitude for his unprecedented effort to apply the insights of contemporary literary theory to an astonishing variety of Catholic texts....I was moved by the respectful intensity the author brings to his study of artists richly deserving of such elegant treatment. American Catholic Arts and Fictions is a remarkable achievement as well as a historical event." In Contemporary Literature, Jonathan Veitch wrote: “American Catholic Arts and Fictions: Culture, Ideology, Aesthetics is a tour de force, a magisterial study of Catholicism and the American arts. But its subject is not limited to religion . . . Giles handles complex theological questions deftly, and he does so while meeting the highest standards of cultural criticism. But more importantly, Giles has achieved the rare feat of reorienting the cultural landscape in such a way that it will be hard to read the literature of this century in quite the same manner again.”

The Battle of Kunduz was a battle between the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and the Taliban for control of the city of Kunduz. The fighting started in late June and lasted until the city was overrun by the Taliban on 8 August. The Afghan government forces, defending the city, withdrew to 217 Pamir Corps headquarters and airport within in the city. After resisting for three days, an entire 217 Pamir Corps had surrendered, allowing Taliban to take control of the airport and a number of military vehicles and tanks stationed inside the headquarters.
Background
Kunduz is the strategic city located in northern Afghanistan with routes to Kabul and other major cities in Afghanistan and also Tajikistan. The city was the stronghold of the Taliban before they took over Afghanistan in 1990s.
The city was also briefly occupied by the Taliban forces in 2015 and 2016 before being driven out of the city by Afghan government forces and United States Air Force.
Battle
On 21 June, Taliban captured the entrance to the Kunduz city before dispersing throughout its neighborhoods.
By 23 June, Taliban had laid the siege of Kunduz city after capturing districts in vicinity of the city and the main border crossing with Tajikistan.
On 24 June, an airstrike by an Afghan Air Force in Eighth Police District of Kunduz City killed two Afghan police officers and wounded eight others. The friendly fire incident allowed the Taliban to capture the district.
On 26 June, Afghan government officials said that around 24 Taliban fighters were killed while 15 others were injured in clash with Afghan government forces in Kunduz city.
On 5 July, Abdul Hadi Nazari, an Afghan army spokesman said that around 15 Taliban fighters were killed in an Afghan Air Force airstrike targeting Taliban fighters gathering outside the city.
By mid-July, the Taliban were inside four out of nine municipal districts of Kunduz city, battling for control with the government forces. All the districts surrounding the city including the roads that lead outside the city were also under Taliban control. Lt. Col. Masound Nijrabi, commander of Afghan commandos, expressed contempt for the regular Afghan army soldiers who fail to hold territory and later the Afghan army commandos are forced to retake the territory from the Taliban forces.
On 23 July, Afghan police chief Zabardast Safi said that Afghan government forces had evicted Taliban fighters from villages around the city. Around ten Taliban fighters were killed and five others were injured during the operation.
On 7 August, Taliban forces had captured a large part of the city. The Taliban spokesman said that they had taken over the city. However, Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman , Mirwais Stanekzai, announced that a joint operation by Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANSDF) is underway with many areas of the city recaptured and many Taliban fighters killed or wounded.
By 8 August, Taliban had overrun most part of the city with government control reduced to a military base near the airport. Taliban assault on the city was also aided by reinforcements from neighbouring areas and Jowzjan province which fell to the Taliban forces on 7 August. After entering the city, the Taliban attacked the city prison, overpowered the prison guards and released hundreds of prisoners. Some of those freed prisoners were Taliban fighters and commanders who then aided the Taliban in launching attacks on the main government compounds in central Kunduz. Later that day, an airstrike was also carried out targeting local headquarters of National Directorate of Security which had fallen to the Taliban earlier. Afghanistan's ministry of defense also announced that operations to retake Kunduz were underway.
On 11 August, after resisting for three days, an entire 217 Pamir Corps surrendered, allowing Taliban to take control of the Pamir Corps headquarters and the airport. Taliban also captured a number of military vehicles, equipment and tanks stationed inside the headquarters and also a Mil Mi-24 helicopter at the airport. Commander Ain Ullah, one of the commander of 217 Pamir Corps, had also surrendered to the Taliban.
Zargul Alemi, a member of the Kunduz provincial council, said that there were around 2,000 soldiers in 217 Pamir Corps headquarters before surrender and desertions. Alemi said, "I don't know why the commanders did not gather their forces and fight until the last drop of their blood, with all the guns, resources and ammunition they had in the airport and the corps".
On 12 August, Ehsanullah Omarzad, Najibullah Omarkhel and Zabardast Safi had also surrendered to the Taliban.
Key factors
Exhausted government forces, lack of reinforcements and delay in targeting of Taliban by Afghan Air Force, were described by Sayed Jawad Hussaini, the deputy police chief of a district in Kunduz city, as the key factors that benefited the Taliban and allowed them to capture the city.
Afghan politicians from Kunduz and Jawzjan provinces accused the Afghan government of not paying enough attention to the security situation in northern Afghanistan. Rabbani Rabbani, a member of Kunduz's provincial council, says that the Taliban knew the importance of Kunduz while the Afghan government saw it as a small village.
Aftermath
Afghan army chief, Gen. Wali Ahmadzai, was sacked following the fall of the Kunduz city.

Papilionanthe vandarum is a species of epiphytic orchid native to India, China, Myanmar, and Nepal. Is is closely related to Papilionanthe biswasiana.
Description
This species is adapted to drought and can grow in full sun. Flexible, long and slender stems bear terete, distichously arranged leaves with cuticular papillae and specialised, club-shaped water-storage cells are found within the mesophyll. The cuticle is very thick and may reach a thickness of 19 µm on the adaxial leaf surface and 17.5 µm on the abaxial leaf surface. Few flowers, resembling Vanda flowers, hence the specific epithet vandarum, are produced on axillary racemes. The floral morphology of the fragrant, predominantly white flowers infers entomophily and they are thought to be pollinated by moths. The three-lobed labellum bears a 1.6 cm long, slender, bent or curved spur, which has unicellular, or occasionally bicellular, secretory trichomes. Spindle-shaped, 0.3 mm long seeds with pointed ends are formed in capsules.
Ecology
The plants may grow at altitudes of 1028 to 1740 m a.s.l. and flowering occurs in May to September or June to July.
Conservation
This species is rare and endangered.

Terbit Rencana Perangin-angin (family name, or marga Perangin-angin), born 24 June 1972, is the suspended Bupati (regent) of Langkat, a second-level administrative division below its province of North Sumatra in Indonesia.
He was elected as Bupati in 2018, and began serving his five-year term on 20 February 2019, until his suspension on 19 January 2022 on suspicion of corruption. Further revelations included accusations of slavery, torture, and wildlife crimes.
Background
Terbit was born in Langkat, and went to primary school and junior high school near his home of Raja Tengah, Kuala district, Langkat, followed by high school in the nearby city of Medan, and then studied management in the other nearby local city, Binjai.
Terbit was elected leader of the Langkat branch of Pemuda Pancasila, a legal paramilitary 'ormas' (mass-membership organization) in 1997, and re-elected every 4 years subsequently until his arrest. In 2002 he became Langkat leader of FSPTI/SPSI, a transport workers' union.
In 2014 Terbit was elected as head of the DPD (local regional Parliament) for Langkat, as head of the largest party, Golkar, for the 2015–2020 cycle.
Corruption investigation
Terbit was arrested as part of a corruption investigation by the KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission), in January 2022.
Subsequently, further revelations gave him international notoriety:
a cage was found with people in it, said to be used for modern slavery
protected wildlife was discovered on his property, including an orangutan and 2 Bali starlings
Corruption
A total of six people were arrested in connection with corruption in government contracts, and 2.1 billion rupiah (around US$150,000) in Indonesian and foreign cash was recovered. The others arrested:
Iskandar Perangin-angin, Terbit's older brother, and elected administrative village head ('kepala desa') for the neighboring village of Balai Kasih.
Marcos Surya Abdi, Shuhandra Citra, and Isfi Syahfitra, three contractors accused of receiving bribes
Muara Perangin-angin, as contractor accused of paying a bribe.
Slavery and torture accusations, deaths
A cage containing human occupants was found on Terbit's property. It was said that the inmates were used for slave labour on Terbit's palm oil plantation. The inmates were found with bruises when the cage was discovered by investigators.
The wife of one of the inmates said that she sent her husband there for drug treatment. However, after it was disclosed that Terbit had no permit to run a drug treatment facility, he said that the cage did not constitute drug 'rehabilitation' but merely 'training' for drug addicts, and had been operating informally for many years under the auspices of the Pemuda Pancasila, with the knowledge of local authorities.
A video posted on Terbit's wife Tiorita's YouTube channel in March 2021, stated that Terbit and Tiorita ran a 'drug guidance' facility at their home. They stated that as a mother, it was Tiorita who responsible for providing food for the patients, as being a mother she would understand this well.
The police said they had received three reports of deaths of the inmates, in 2015 and 2021, and that they had found graves on the site.
Investigators stated that certain code words ('2½ buttons', 'mos' and 'das') were used when torturing inmates to indicate the type of punishment, and that this torture resulted in the deaths of inmates.
Terbit acknowledged that there had been deaths of inmates.
Wildlife crimes
Seven protected animals were fond on Terbit's property.
a Celebes crested macaque
a Sumatran orangutan
a Changeable hawk-eagle
2 Bali starlings
a Common hill myna

Shipwreck is an album by the Scottish musician Chris Connelly, released in 1994. It continued Connelly's move away from industrial music.
Connelly supported the album by touring with Low Pop Suicide.
Production
The album was produced by the New Pain. It was recorded in the wake of the suicide of Connelly's girlfriend, and dealt with Connelly's reevaluation of his life after the excesses of his twenties; Connelly had taken an 18-month break from music before entering the studio. The backing band included Ministry members Bill Rieflin and William Tucker.
"The Early Nighters" is dedicated to River Phoenix.
Critical reception
Rolling Stone stated: "Its music gorgeous, its lyrics strange, confessional and sometimes oddly comic, Shipwreck is a stunning album—a furious attempt to fashion something glorious." Trouser Press wrote that "Connelly's pronounced vocal resemblance to Bowie remains disarming throughout Shipwreck'''s eleven fascinating chapters, but as long as the real thing shows no inclination of creating music this affecting and accessible, Connelly might as well make the most of it." The Baltimore Sun deemed Shipwreck an "amiably upbeat album recalls the arty appeal of late-'70s David Bowie."
The Chicago Tribune called the album "a masterful blend of creepy atmospherics, the odd noise, visceral guitars-and-drums interplay and folkish melodies-delivered in Connelly's evocative, brogue-tinged tenor." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch thought that Shipwreck "ditches the industrial shtick for a near art/rock approach." The Los Angeles Times opined that "even among the obvious Bowie-isms, there was enough sense of personal vision to indicate that Connelly can transcend the reference and stake out territory distinctly his own."
AllMusic wrote that "most of the songs have a sharp acoustic/electric guitar kick and at once rough and carefully produced feel to them." MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide deemed Shipwreck'' "one of the great, overlooked albums of the decade."

The history of Watertown, a city in Jefferson County, New York, can be traced to the founding of a settlement east of Lake Ontario in the early 19th century. The area had seen human occupation since at least the second glacial period, but significant change into what is now known as Watertown did not occur until the beginning of the Machine Age. The city, which was incorporated in 1869, had expanded primarily through trade with Canada. The city destroyed many factories and historical buildings in the 1960s, which began a steady decline in population, from 33,306 in 1960 to 24,685 in 2020, a loss of 26%.

The is a Kofun period keyhole-shaped burial mound, located in Mihara ward of the city of Sakai, Osaka in the Kansai region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1957 with the area under protection expanded in 1978.
Overview
The Kurohimeyama Kofun is a , which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above. It is located in the wide flat land of the Minamikawachi region between the Furuichi Kofun Cluster and the Furuichi Kofun Cluster. The tumulus has a total length of 73 meters, with a 43-meter diameter posterior circular portion, and is orientated to the west. It was once covered in fukiishi and had rows of cylindrical haniwa. There was a ceremonial platform extending off of the northern edge of the central constriction and the tumulus was surrounded by a moat with a width of 15 meters and depth of two meters. The tumulus is believed to have been associated with the Tajihi clan, a powerful tribe which controlled this area around the mid-fifth century.
In 1946, a pit-type stone burial chamber was detected in the anterior rectangular portion, and this was first excavated in 1947, with five more excavations occurring between 1948 and 2000. Finds included 359 cylindrical haniwa, each measuring 80 centimeters in height by 40 centimeters in diameter, with a slightly recessed bottom. In addition, 25 or more lid-shaped haniwa at intervals between the cylindrical haniwa. From within the burial chamber, 24 sets of armor were found, mounted in an upright position in two rows. This is the largest number of armor which has been found at any site in Japan. In addition, there were 24 iron swords, 9 iron spearheads, 6 iron stakes, 56 iron arrowheads, and 5 knives, along with other items. The burial chamber itself was for meters long and was covered by eight sandstone blocks forming the ceiling, and river stones to provide drainage on the floor. The burial chamber which was presumed to have existed in the posterior circular mound was apparently robbed in antiquity, and there is no trace remaining.
The shape of the tumulus was modified when it was used as a fortification in the Sengoku period, by cutting away the sides tomato the slope steeper.
From 1989 the tumulus and its surroundings have been maintained as the Kurohimeyama Tumulus historical plaza, and the pit-type stone burial chamber on the east side of the tumulus and a part of the cylindrical haniwa row in the upper part of the burial mound have been restored. Artifacts excavated from the tumulus are displayed at the Sakai Historical Museum.
The tumulus is about a ten-minute walk from Kawachi-Matsubara Station on the Kintetsu Minami Osaka Line.
Total length 114 meters:
Anterior rectangular portion 65 meters wide x 11.5 meters high, 2-tier
Posterior circular portion 64 meter diameter x 11 meters high, 2-tiers

The Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange was hacked in August 2016 in the second-largest breach of a Bitcoin exchange platform up to that time. 119,756 bitcoin, worth about million at the time, were stolen.
In February 2022, the US government seized a portion of the stolen bitcoin, now worth billion, by decrypting a file owned by Ilya Lichtenstein that contained addresses and private keys associated with the stolen funds. Lichtenstein and his wife, Heather R. Morgan, were charged with conspiracy to launder money.
History
Hack
In August 2016, the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange, based in Hong Kong, announced it had suffered a security breach. Around 2,000 approved transactions were sent to a single wallet from user's segregated wallets. Immediately thereafter, Bitcoin's trading price plunged by 20%, causing the value of the stolen Bitcoin to dip to million. After learning of the breach, Bitfinex halted all Bitcoin withdrawals and trading and Bitfinex said it was tracking down the hack. Exchange customers, even those whose accounts had not been broken into, had their account balance reduced by 36% and received BFX tokens in proportion to their losses. The exchange's access to U.S. dollar payments and withdrawals was then curtailed. The hack happened even though Bitfinex was securing the funds with BitGo, which uses multiple-signature security.
Laundering
Small amounts of money began to move out of the single wallet in early 2017 through the marketplace AlphaBay to launder it. After AlphaBay was shuttered by international law enforcement led by the FBI, the money rerouted to the Russian marketplace Hydra. The shutdown of AlphaBay may have given law enforcement access to the service's internal transaction logs to connect pieces together.
In February 2022, a New York couple, Ilya Lichtenstein (age 34) and his wife Heather R. Morgan (age 31), were charged by US authorities with conspiring to launder the bitcoin, which was then worth billion. According to Justice officials, Lichtenstein and Morgan are charged with conspiracy to launder money, which has a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and conspiracy to defraud the United States, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Neither were accused of perpetrating the hack. Law enforcement were able to acquire a search warrant for a cloud storage service used by Lichtenstein, obtaining a spreadsheet of wallet addresses linked to the hack, and their passwords. One of the wallets had around 94,000 Bitcoin. Due to the openness and transparency of the blockchain, law enforcement was able to track the money; and obtaining the passwords allowed them to seize it.
Some of the funds were moved towards more traditional financial accounts and used on gold, NFTs, and a Walmart gift card spent on Uber rides and a PlayStation. Though hundreds of millions of dollars were converted to fiat currency, 80% of the Bitcoin were still in the original wallet at the center of the hack.
Shortly after the couple's arrest, Netflix ordered a documentary series that will cover the story of Lichtenstein's and Morgan's alleged crimes.

The Hamburg Maritim Foundation (Stiftung Hamburg Maritim) is a legally responsible foundation based in Hamburg, Germany and was founded in 2001.
Overview
The Hamburg Maritime Foundation has set itself the task of preserving evidence of the maritime history of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and the Hamburg metropolitan region. It preserves and restores traditional ships, port railways and port facilities, their equipment and facilities as well as structural facilities that represent the history of the Port of Hamburg and shipping. The aim is not only to conserve the objects, but to operate them in a functional manner and make them accessible to the general public.
It was founded by the Hamburgische Landesbank on the initiative of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. The Commerz-Collegium zu Altona was one of the first sponsors. The work is continuously supported by the Freundeskreis Maritimes Erbe Hamburg e. V.
The Foundation is managed by a four-member Board of Directors. A board of trustees consisting of twelve people controls the executive board and makes fundamental decisions. The Advisory Board includes a representative from each works association and the harbourmaster, as well as a representative from the Hamburg Port Authority. Since 2015, a "steering group" has been active as a permanent representative of the advisory board. Its members represent the advisory board in operational business.
Task
The foundation is active in the fields of restoration, preservation and operation. The restoration of historical objects requires a high degree of professional competence and care. To this end, the foundation works with shipyards and specialized companies, but also with training and funding institutions.
For many, the ships and the port itself are part of their history. In the associations that operate the ships and facilities, this personal bond leads to a large voluntary commitment to the preservation of maritime heritage. Under the umbrella of the foundation, around 1,700 volunteers are involved in the maintenance and operation of the traditional ships and port railways as well as port facilities. Thanks to the volunteers, who work in independent associations, the ships and a railcar of the port railway can also be experienced by everyone on public trips.

Historic sites
Port facilities and quay sheds
The Shed 50 on Australiastraße are among Hamburg's oldest surviving port facilities and are the last surviving quay sheds from the Imperial Germany era. When the building complex was completed in 1910, it was a figurehead for Hamburg's port industry and was considered the most modern port facility of the time. The construction of the storage shed was groundbreaking for the economic handling of goods, while aspects of social reform were taken into account for the first time with the associated company buildings.
In 2002, the foundation took over the Shed 50 from HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Lagerhaus (today: Logistik) AG and from the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, with the condition that it be restored entirely from its own funds. This saved the historic buildings from demolition. The Shed 50 is now a listed building.
Even today, the Shed 50 is managed by commercially active storekeepers who store goods and spices there. The Hamburg Harbor Museum is located in Shed 50A.
Port railways
The foundation also includes track systems and track vehicles, which are managed by the “Verein der Historische Hafenbahn e. V.” are operated. The port railway has been the most important connection between the port and the hinterland since the second half of the 19th century and is therefore still an indispensable part of the ensemble of monuments. Historical goods handling is carried out on the tracks at various events, for example between historical trucks, the port railway and the cargo ship Bleichen.
The stock of the historic port railway comprises a total of 29 vehicles, including two steam storage locomotives, workshop wagons, various freight wagons, a transport wagon with a hand crane from 1869, a trolley and the VT 4.42 railbus. Every second Saturday of the month, the rail bus can be used to travel along the 300 kilometers of HPA tracks.
Emigrant town on the Veddel
From 1900, Albert Ballin had the Ballinstadt named after him built on the Veddel in Hamburg. Sleeping and living pavilions, dining halls, baths, churches, synagogues and rooms for medical examinations were built for the emigrants who were transported on the ships of the then HAPAG. The foundation developed the overall concept for the emigration museum.

Big Brother 2021 is the first cooperation season of the Dutch and Belgian version of Big Brother. It is the seventh regular version of Big Brother in both Belgium and the Netherlands. The show is broadcast on RTL5 in the Netherlands and VIER (the channel rebranded as Play4 on 28 January 2021) in Belgium beginning on 3 January 2021. Live streams are available 24/7 on Videoland for Dutch viewers and on VIER(later GoPlay.be) and Telenet for Belgian viewers.
On 7 June 2020, it was announced by RTL that there would be a new Dutch season of Big Brother after an absence of 14 years to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first Big Brother ever. On 23 July 2020, it was announced that it would be a cooperation with Belgian broadcaster SBS België, making it the first cooperated Big Brother season with housemates from both Netherlands and Belgium and the first Belgian season in 13 years.
Geraldine Kemper and Peter Van de Veire are co-hosts of the show. The show began airing on 4 January 2021. Eight housemates entered the house on launch night on New Year's Eve, 31 December 2020. The reception of the premiere episode of the season - "De Start" was successful, with more than 1.3 million viewers in the Netherlands and over 500,000 viewers in Belgium.
The final was on 8 April 2021 and the winner was Jill Goede. There was some controversy because the voting websites crashed because of high demand during the final vote. The bailiff declared the winner consulting the last intermediate score. The final was watched by 488.000 viewers in the Netherlands and 401.062 viewers in Belgium. The Belgian broadcaster Play4 called the season a modest hit with 378.00 daily viewers and 10 million views at the website. A new season was teased during the final.
Production
Format
Big Brother 2021 followed the same format as the previous season of the program. Housemates lived in isolation from the outside world in a custom-built house for a period of 100 days, hoping to be the last one to leave the house as the winner, and walk away with a large cash prize.
Concept
Producers of the reality show called the comeback of the show a necessity in times where reality was filtered, enhanced and changed by social media. The show states that it would expose the housemates like they truly are. During the show Big Brother shared messages, pictures or videos posted by the housemates on their personal social media before their stay in the house with all the housemates.
This season was a reintroduction of Big Brother in both Netherlands and Belgium, it was again promoted as a social experiment.
Broadcasts
The premiere show is known as De Start (lit. The Start) was pre-recorded on the evening of 31 December 2020 and simultaneously broadcast on RTL4 and RTL5 in the Netherlands, VIER on Belgium on 4 January 2021. The show aired from Monday to Friday with the live show on Thursday night.
During the live shows, there were experts who gave their views about the interactions in the house. These experts were psychologist Kas Stuyf, sexologist Lotte Vanwezemael and social media expert Diederik Broekhuizen.
House
A new house was built in Amsterdam, next to the Johan Cruyff Arena at a parking lot of Endemol Shine Nederland in a few months. It was a 300 m2 House and had 125 cameras installed (100 indoor cameras and 25 outdoor cameras) and 39 speakers.
Changes
Unlike in previous Big Brother seasons, there were changes to minimise controversies that occasionally happen on the Big Brother series. Firstly, during the house tour, it was announced that the cameras in the showers would only be used if it was needed for character or interaction progress and not for voyeurism. Additionally, there was a change in the sexual activity that happens inside the Big Brother house. The rule was made between the producer and the housemates, in which the housemates are allowed to have sex with each other only if both housemates show their thumbs up towards the camera. The housemates can only receive beer and wine in small quantities on special occasions or weekends. The production team hopes that this will prevent untoward incidents that eventually cause problems later from happening in the house.
Impact of COVID-19
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, contestants had to be in quarantine ten days before entering the house. Each housemate was tested four times before participation. Since the housemates had tested negative for COVID-19, they could form a household and did not need to practice social distancing, following the COVID-19 regulations in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Housemates
Despite the announcement that fourteen housemates would enter the house on launch night, it was revealed on 28 December 2020 that during the launch night, only four housemates from the Netherlands and four housemates from Belgium will enter the house.
Non-chosen candidates
After the voluntary exits of Daniëlle, Jowi and Nathalie, the production decided to put new housemates into the house. On Day 32, mysterious pictures of five candidates appeared on the screen inside the house. On Day 34, more additional information about the five candidates revealed to the housemates. On Day 35, Big Brother calls the housemates to the living room and played voice introductions from the five candidates. A photo of each candidate also appears. During the live show on Day 36, the five candidates were finally introduced to the viewers. Housemates had to choose two candidates they like to see entering the house, they were Jerrel and Matt. Unbeknown to the other housemates, the third new housemates would be decided by the viewers among Jeroen, Mike and Mona. On the morning of Day 37, it was revealed that Mike was the third new housemate and entered the house.
Twist
Prize money
In this season, housemates were required to do several tasks every week. These tasks were known as "secret mission", "challenge" or "weekly tasks". If the housemate(s) completed, they earned prize money for the winner of this season.
Caretaker & house rules
Every week, the viewers decided who became the Caretaker (). The Caretaker can't be nominated for eviction, they can create three house rules for that week and have to manage the grocery budget.
Immunity token
On Day 19, Daniëlle was called to the diary room and she returns with a box. Inside this box was an immunity token. This immunity token was earned during the knitting task. When a housemate uses this token, he or she cannot be nominated. Daniëlle lied about the meaning of the token by telling her housemates that the housemate would be decided by a joint decision. This confused the housemates and led to nobody using the token. Big Brother eventually took the token back.
Rich and poor
On Day 58, Big Brother divided the housemates into two teams: Female housemates are in Yellow Team and Male housemates are in Green Team. Through a battle, Yellow Team wins the luxury side of the house which includes the living room, kitchen, garden, hot tub and sauna. The Green Team has to live on the poor side which includes the game room, pantry and bedroom. Also, the Green Team is not allowed to enter the rich side. On Day 61, this element ended and the whole house gathered together.
Weekly summary
The main events in the Big Brother house are summarised in the table below.

The 2011–12 Ulster Rugby season was Ulster's 18th season since the advent of professionalism in rugby union, and their third under head coach Brian McLaughlin. They were losing finalists in the Heineken Cup, and finished sixth in the Pro12.
McLaughlin, who was coaching Ulster while on sabbatical from his regular job as a teacher at Royal Belfast Academical Institution, stood to lose his teaching position and pension if he extended his contract with Ulster any further, and as head coach risked losing his job at any time. Director of rugby David Humphreys decided to offer him the security of a full-time position coaching the academy, and to replace him as head coach with Mark Anscombe.

The Galileo and Ulysses Dust Detectors are almost identical dust instruments on the Galileo and Ulysses missions. The instruments are large-area (0.1 m2 sensitive area) highly reliable impact ionization detectors of sub-micron and micron sized dust particles. With these instruments the interplanetary dust cloud was characterized between Venus’ and Jupiter's orbits and over the solar poles. A stream of interstellar dust passing through the planetary system was discovered. Close to and inside the Jupiter system streams nanometer sized dust particles that were emitted from volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and ejecta clouds around the Galilean moons were discovered and characterized.
Overview
Following the first dust instruments from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), Heidelberg (Germany) on the HEOS 2 satellite and the Helios spacecraft a new dust instrument was developed by a Team of Scientists and Engineers of Eberhard Grün to detect cosmic dust in the outer planetary system. This instrument had 10 times larger sensitive area (0.1 m2) and employed a multiple coincidence of impact signals in order to cope with the low fluxes of cosmic dust and the hostile environment in the outer planets magnetospheres.
The Galileo and Ulysses dust detectors use impact ionization from hypervelocity impacts of cosmic dust particles onto the hemispherical target. Electrons and ions from the impact plasma are separated by the electric field between the target and the center ion collector. Ions are partly collected by the semi-transparent grid and the center channeltron multiplier. The amplitudes of the impact, the rise-times, and time relations of the charge signals are measured, stored and transmitted to ground. Using this information noise from impacts events were separated and properties (mass and speed) of the impacting duast particles were determined. The center grid of the three grids at the entrance of the detector pick-up the electric charge of the dust particle. Unfortunately, no dust charges were reliably identified by these instruments during their space operation.
The Galileo Dust Detector was developed by the Team of Scientists and Engineers led by Eberhard Grün at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), Heidelberg (Germany) and was selected in 1976 by NASA to explore the dust environment of Jupiter on board the Galileo Jupiter Orbiter. The Galileo spacecraft was a dual-spin spcaecraft with its antenna pointing to Earth. The dust detector was mounted on the spinning section at an angle of 60° with respect to the spin axis. Galileo was launched in 1989 and cruised for 6 years interplanetary space between Venus’ and Jupiter's orbits before it started in 1995 its 7-year path through the Jovian system with several fly-bys of all Galilean moons. The Galileo dust detector operated during the whole mission.
About a year after Galileo the twin instrument was selected for the out-of-ecliptic Ulysses mission. Ulysses was a spinning spacecraft with the dust detector mounted at 85° to the spin axis. Launch of Ulysses was in 1990 and the spacecraft went on a direct trajectory to Jupiter which it reached in 1992 for a swing-by maneuver which put the spacecraft on a heliocentric orbit of 80 degrees inclination. This orbit had a period of 6.2 years and a perihelion of 1.25 AU and an aphelion of 5.4 AU. Ulysses completed 2.5 orbits until the mission was ended. The Ulysses dust detector operated during the whole mission.
The initial Principal Investigator for both instruments was Eberhard Grün. In 1996 the PI-ship was handed over to Harald Krüger from Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Göttingen, Germany.
Major discoveries and observations
Interplanetary dust
Galileo and Ulysses traversed interplanetary space from Venus’ orbit (0.7 AU) to Jupiter’s orbit (~5 AU) and about 2 AU above and below the solar poles. During all the time the dust experiments recorded cosmic dust particles that were an important input to a model of interplanetary dust (Staubach, P., Grün, E., amd Matney M., Synthesiss of Observations in the book Interplanetary Dust
Interstellar dust
After Jupiter fly-by Ulysses identified a flow of interstellar dust sweeping through the Solar System.
Dust in the Jupiter system
After Jupiter fly-by Ulysses detected hyper-velocity streams of nano-dust which are emitted from Jupiter and then couple to the solar magnetic field.

On 24 September 2015, a double suicide bombing was carried out by Islamic State at a mosque in Sanaa, Yemen, killing at least 25 people.
Background
Many insurgent attacks have occurred in Yemen since its crisis began in January 2011, and even more so since its civil war began in September 2014. The Houthi movement, who began its insurgency in 2004, seized the country's capital city Sanaa in September 2014 and has occupied it ever since. In March 2015, 142 people were killed by Islamic State suicide bombers at two Shia mosques in Sanaa.
Bombing
During the morning of 24 September 2015, a suicide bomber detonated a bomb during prayers for Eid-al-Adha, in Balili mosque, a Shiite mosque in Sanaa. As worshippers who had survived the explosion tried to escape, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt at the mosque's entrance. At least 25 people were killed and at least 36 others wounded. Later the same day, Islamic State said they carried out the bombing.

The 1456 Central Italy earthquake of December 5 is the largest earthquake to have occurred on the Italian Peninsula. The earthquake had an estimated moment magnitude of 7.19 , and nucleated near the town of Pontelandolfo in present-day Province of Benevento, Italy. Earning a level of XI (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale, the earthquake caused widespread destruction in central and southern Italy. An estimated 30,000–70,000 people were killed. It was followed by another strong 7.0 earthquake to the north on December 30.
Tectonic setting
The central Italian Peninsula is dominated by active extensional tectonics, forming the Apennine Mountains. One explanation is that slab rollback is occurring within the Adriatic Plate as it subducts beneath the Tyrrhenian Sea. Another explanation is because the back-arc basin in the Tyrrhenian Sea opening at a faster rate than the African Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate. Extensional tectonics in the region have been active since the since the Pliocene epoch, mainly accommodated by northwest–southeast striking normal faults. The faults associated with large earthquakes on the peninsula are geologically young in age, and rarely rupture the surface. Occassionally, strike-slip events like the 1456 sequence, as well as the 1971 ( 5.0) and 2012 ( 4.6) moderate earthquakes in the southern Apennine region suggest the dominant style of faulting is not limited to normal dip-slip.
Earthquakes
The shock of December 5 was estimated at 7.19 ± 0.1 by the 2014 version of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology earthquake catalog. Based on studying the macroseismic effects of the event, three distinct subevents separated by several seconds were discovered. The earthquake occurred in a region of active crustal movement along east–west striking strike-slip faults. The rupture process involved a complex cascade of independent faults rupturing subsequentially; as many as five subevents constituated the mainshock. The earthquake rupture extended from Abruzzo to Irpinia.
Northwest-southeast trending normal faults are thought to be the source of the quake. Unlike most earthquakes in the area with rupture occurring in the shallow 12 km of the crust, the source of the 1456 earthquake was between 12 and 25 km beneath. The 1456 earthquake subsequentlly triggered future earthquakes nearby due to the behavior of faults in the area. Another hypothesis suggest the earthquakes were strike-slip events that occurred at a depth of 10 to 25 km. The December 5 event occurred along a west-northwest-east-southeast striking oblique right-lateral fault. It ruptured east of the fault that caused the earthquake of 1688. Another similar fault located further north, in Matese generated the shock of December 30.
Many large aftershocks struck following the earthquake on December 5. The earthquake of December 30 at 9:30 pm which measured 7.0 was not as severe, but also resulted in serious damage. Additional damage also occurred due to the aftershocks, which persisted up till early 1457. The aftershock sequence only ended in May 1457.
Tsunami
A series of anomalous waves in the port of Naples also caused boats to crash. There was also reports of a tsunami in the Gulf of Taranto, where it struck the Ionian coastline.
Impact
The December 5 shock struck at 11:00 pm local time, lasting approximately 150 seconds. Devastation was reported in five of the 20 regions of Italy; Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia, and Basilicata; whereas some damage occurred in Lazio and Calabria.
Casualties
As much as 70,000 people were killed in the earthquakes. In the town of Isernia, catastrophic damage occurred; 1,500 residents of the total 2,035 perished. At least 100-150 people died in Naples due to many homes and churches collapsing. Another 100 people died in Pozzuoli. There were between 600 and 2,200 fatalities in Apice, 2,000 in Barberio, more than 1,000 in Lafino, 400 in Cerreto Sannita, and 1,200 in Acerenza.
Intensity
Complete destruction occurred in a zone measuring 6,000 km2. Whereas the total area affected was 18,000 km2. The area of devastation was unusually large compared to most earthquakes in Italy; thought to be caused by the occurrence of multiple ruptures.
The meizoseismal area stretched for nearly 180 km, assigned X–XI (Extreme), where destruction of structures occurred. The unusually large area of the meizoseismal area is caused by multiple faults, separated by significant distances rupturing. The commune of Caramanico Terme experienced a maximum intensity of XI. Intensity IX–X was felt in the towns of Tocco da Casauria, Torre de' Passeri and Castiglione a Casauria. From the lower Aterno Valley (in the north), to Sulmona, and Navelli (in the southeast), the intensity was VIII–IX. Intensity VIII–IX was felt over an area that was 40 km wide. About 20 km away, the intensity gradually fell to V.
Aftermath
Several villages in the affected area were abandoned. Alfonso V of Aragon, the King of Aragon, received news of the disaster while he was residing in Apulia. He would only return to Naples in early February 1457, where he declined tax exemption requests by survivors in the affected towns. Alfonso V stated that the survivors were able to pay taxes as they inherited the fortune of those who were killed. Reconstructions by the authorities were limited; only military fortresses, roads and bridges were supported in the interest of the military.

Mozzart is the debut studio album by Kosovo-Albanian rapper Mozzik released on 30 July 2020 by 2 Euro Gang and Urban. It premiered following Mozzik's widespread attention and chart success in German-speaking Europe. For the record, the rapper collaborated with multiple producers, including Macloud, Miksu, Pllumb, Rzon and X-plosive. Containing songs in Albanian and German, the was aided by the release of seven singles, including "Dhelpër dinake", "Zemra ime", "Auf wiedersehen", "Tom & Jerry", "Lass mal", "Madonna" and "Baby", which experienced commercial success in Albania, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Upon release, Mozzart peaked at number 11 in Switzerland and reached number 75 in Austria.
Background and composition
After signing contract with On Records, Mozzik rose to widespread attention in the Albanian-speaking Balkans. Since 2018, he has drawn recognition in German-speaking Europe, following the releases of "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Romeo & Juliet" both in collaboration with Swiss rapper Loredana. Mozzart was released in various countries on 31 July 2020 by 2 Euro Gang and Urban, a subsidiary of Universal. Most of the songs on the album are in Albanian, with some songs performed by Mozzik in German. It overall incorporates genres of hip hop and R&B music. The rapper collaborated with multiple producers on the album, including Abaz, A-Boom, Kitza, Macloud, Miksu, Pllumb, Rzon, Xon Oxa and X-plosive.
In May 2020, Mozzik hinted at the release of the album during a poll on his Instagram account, where he encouraged his followers to vote for the album's title. On another occasion, the rapper uploaded the album's tracklist on the platform, with the song's titles being overpainted. He wrote underneath the post that as soon as it receives 100,000 comments, with the hashtag #2Euro, he would subsequently release the song's titles. In June 2020, after this was achieved, the rapper premiered the album's tracklist and announced its release date.
Singles and reception
Seven singles preceded Mozzart in the span from November 2019 to July 2020. "Dhelpër dinake" was the first single released in November 2019, where it reached number 16 in Switzerland. The record's second single, "Zemra ime", followed in December 2019, and attained the top 15 in Albania as well as the top 100 in Switzerland. In February 2020, "Auf wiedersehen" and "Tom & Jerry" were both distributed at once as the record's third and fourth singles. "Auf wiedersehen" experienced commercial success in German-speaking Europe, reaching number six in both Austria and Switzerland, and number 11 in Germany. Released in May 2020, the record's fifth single, "Lass mal", failed to reach the same success, although it attained the top 40 in the aforementioned territories. The subsequent sixth and seventh singles, "Madonna" and "Baby", premiered in June 2020 and July 2020, respectively. "Madonna" topped the chart in Albania and attained success in Switzerland, while "Baby" also found success in the latter country, including in Germany, where it peaked at number 78. Kreizia Velija from Top Albania Radio expressed praise towards "Madonna" and saw "Hana" as the highlight song on the album. A writer for Telegrafi considered "Madonna" as a success and predicted "Baby" as another success. Multiple Albanian and German-language websites interpreted the lyrics of "Auf wiedersehen", "Dhelpër dinake" and "Lass mal" as a reproach against his failed relationships and marriage to Swiss rapper Loredana.
Commercial performance
Mozzart experienced commercial success on the record charts of Austria and Switzerland. In Austria, the record entered the country's album chart in August 2020 at number 75, which remained its peak position. In Switzerland, the album debuted and peaked at number 11 in the same month, spending a total of two non-consecutive weeks on the chart. Mozzart also went on to reach the top ten at number eight on Switzerland's Album iTunes Chart on 2 August 2020.

As the time passed and the Soviet Russia invaded the depths of Lithuania, occupied Šiauliai – the connection with Vilnius was lost. The volunteers in groups went towards Vilnius. Finally, in the beginning of January 1919, the said military headquarters arrived to Tauragė and Kelpša introduced himself there.
As the core of the Lithuanian cavalry was organized in Kaunas, Kelpša was sent to Kaunas. After reaching Kaunas and presenting himself to the military leadership, he was assigned to the 2nd Cavalry Squadron attached to the Separate Battalion, which later became the 5th Infantry Regiment.
On 20 March 1919, Kelpša was transferred to the Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defence of Lithuania and was soon sent to France as a member of the Lithuanian Military Mission to the Paris Peace Conference.

Willem Benjamin van Panhuys (5 December 1764 – 18 July 1816) was a Dutch military officer, planter, and colonial governor. He served as Governor of Suriname from 27 February 1816 until his death on 18 July.
Biography
Van Panhuys was born on 5 December 1764 in Maastricht, Dutch Republic. At the age of 14, he joined the army. On 24 April 1793, he had been promoted lieutenant colonel, and fought against the French in the Austrian Netherlands. He led his troops in the Battle of Fleurus who initially managed repel the French attack, but had to retreat ten days later. On 18 January 1795, William V, Prince of Orange fled to Great Britain, and on 20 January, the Dutch army capitulated. Van Panhuys decided to move to Germany.
In 1790, van Panhuys had married Alexandrine Elisabeth Reijnsdorp who owned the coffee and cotton plantation Reijnsdorp in Suriname. Alexandrine died on 10 September 1797, and by 1800, he was in Suriname which had been conquered by Great-Britain.
On 8 November 1805, van Panhuys married Louise Fredericq Auguste, Baroness von Barckhaus Wiesenhütten. In 1811, they left for Suriname and bought plantation Alkmaar in addition to his plantations of Reijnsdorp and . Louise was a watercolour painter who made many paintings of the landscape and nature. Surprisingly, she would often write down the names of the slaves in the pictures.
In 1813, van Panhuys was in Great Britain, and on 27 November, he was appointed to lead a battalion in the King's Dutch Brigade in the reconquest of the Netherlands. On 27 March 1814, his battalion landed in Hellevoetsluis to fight against Napoleon. On 11 April, after the reconquest, van Panhuys asked to be discharged which was granted on 10 May with a promotion to Major General.
In the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814, it was decided that Suriname should be returned to the Netherlands.. On 18 January 1815, van Panhuys was appointed as Governor of Suriname, however given the war in Europe, the instalment was delayed until Napoleon was defeated. In late 1815, he left the Netherlands with a 1,000 men, and arrived in Suriname in January 1816. On 26 February, Governor relinquished his command, and van Panhuys was installed on 27 February.
Van Panhuys issued a proclamation which had been approved by the States General of the Netherlands on 14 September 1815, that all civil servants and military personnel who had sworn loyalty to the British crown were now dismissed as well as all members of the Court of Policy and Court of Justice. He also divided Suriname into eight districts.
After returning from Nieuw Amsterdam, van Panhuys fell ill, and died five days later on 18 July 1816, at the age of 51. His wife Louise would persist in her letters that he was murdered, however there is no evidence to the claim.

They joined the Inter-Provincial One-Day Tournament for its inaugural season in 1995–96, and have competed in every season since. They finished as runners-up to England Under-21s in 1997–98. The side won its first title in 2005–06, beating Boland in the final, before retaining their title the following season against the same opposition. They next won the tournament in 2008–09, before emerging victorious four years in a row between 2012–13 and 2015–16. They won their eighth title in 2017–18, before finishing as runners-up to North West in the following two seasons. In the 2020–21 season, due to COVID-19 protocols, there was no overall winner, but the side did win one of the two top tier groups, going unbeaten.
Western Province Women have also competed in the CSA Women's Provincial T20 Competition since its inception in 2012–13, and won the inaugural tournament. They went on to win the tournament four times in a row between 2014–15 and 2017–18, and then won their sixth title in 2019–20.

Kamal Kheir Beik (1935–1980) was a Syrian-born poet and dissident. He is known for his Arabic poems written in free verse and for his frequent exiles. He was assassinated in Beirut on 5 November 1980 together with two other members of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP). The murder is one of the unsolved cases in Lebanon.
Early life and education
Beik was born in Qardaha, Latakia, in November 1935. He descended from an Alawite family.
Beik received his PhD from the University of Geneva in 1972 under the supervision of Simon Jorgy. His PhD thesis was entitled Modernity in Contemporary Arabic Poetry which covered an analysis of the contemporary Arabic poetry with a specific focus on Shi'r, an avant-garde poetry magazine published in Beirut in the period 1957–1970. His PhD dissertation was published in French in 1978 and in Arabic in 1982.
Career and exile
In 1953 Beik joined the SSNP. He was sentenced to death due to his alleged role in the assassination of an army chief, Adnan Al Malki, in April 1955. Following this incident he left Syria and settled in Beirut, Lebanon. There he joined the Shi'r society led by Yusuf Al Khal and Ounsi Al Hajj. He was appointed head of information of the SSNP in 1959. His first book entitled The Volcano was published in 1960 under his pseudonym Cadmus. The same year he involved in the coup attempt against the Lebanese President Fouad Chehab and was sentenced to death due to his role in the coup attempt.
Therefore, he left Lebanon for Jordan and then, settled in Paris, France where he resumed his literary studies. He published a second book, Roaring Demonstrations, under another pseudonym Kamal Mohamed in 1965. His poems were collected by his close friends and published in three books, namely A Notebook of Absence, Farewell to Poetry and Rivers Cannot Swim in the Sea.
From 1965 Beik wrote poems in free verse in which he expressed his opposition to the leading ideologies and views in the Arab World such as Arabism and nationalism. His poems were significantly influenced by the Lebanese civil war and frequently contained sense of disillusionment and despair. While living in France Beik was an active supporter of the Palestinian resistance which led to his forced leave of the France. During this period he began to work with Wadie Haddad, a Palestinian leader, and Anis Naccache. Beik participated in some armed attacks with him. He was allegedly a member of Black September group.
Next he settled in Switzerland and taught Arabic literature at the University of Geneva between 1973 and 1975. He involved in the OPEC siege in Vienna with Carlos the Jackal in 1975. Then he returned to Lebanon.
Assassination and burial
Beik was subject to several assassination attempts while living in France. He was killed in Beirut in the last period of the civil war in Lebanon on 5 November 1980. During the attack two colleagues of Beik, Bashir Obeid and Nahia Bijani, who were the members of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, were also murdered. The perpetrators were the members of a Nasserist group called Mourabitouns (Guardians).
Beik was buried at the Shatila Martyrs' cemetery.

Sir Ronald Claus Hampel (born 31 May 1932) is an English former businessman, who was chief executive and chairman of ICI in the 1990s. He planned and oversaw the Zeneca de-merger in June 1993.
Early life
He was born in Shropshire, the son of Karl Hampel (29 May 1898 -10 February 1960) and Rutgard Hauck (8 August 1904 - 21 April 1975). His brothers were born in 1934 and 1935. He grew up in Allscott.
He attended Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where he obtained an MA in Modern Languages and Law.
Career
He started at ICI in 1955. He joined the ICI board in 1985.
In the 1990s, ICI was the world's largest manufacturer of paint (after buying Glidden Paints in 1986) and explosives (after buying Atlas Powder Company in 1990).
In February 1991 it had been decided to streamline the company around seven core business areas. Later in 1991 it was realised that there was most synergy around two distinct main core areas. He became chief operating officer on Tuesday 1 October 1991.
On 29 July 1992 it was officially decided to de-merge the business into ICI and another company, possibly to be known as ICI Biosciences. In late November 1992 it had been decided to call the new company Zeneca, under Sir David Barnes (1936-2020). The company was originally to be called Zenica. The main products of Zeneca included Hibitane (Chlorhexidine), the world's best-selling hospital antiseptic since the 1950s. DNA fingerprinting and DNA paternity testing had been mostly first developed by Cellmark Diagnostics (now called Orchid Cellmark), which became part of Zeneca; to this day it is one of the main UK DNA profiling companies; it was the world's first commercial DNA testing laboratory. For 1991, Zeneca had larger sales than Pfizer.
He became chief executive and deputy-chairman of ICI in 1993. The reformed £2.5bn ICI would largely make paint and explosives. Zeneca would be worth £6bn. Zeneca split in June 1993.
He was appointed chairman in April 1995.
In 1996 he was paid £863,000
In 1997 ICI bought Unilever's chemical division for £4.8bn. He was chairman until Thursday 22 April 1999, at the annual shareholders meeting, with Friends of the Earth in uninvited attendance.
Corporate governance
In January 1998 he was responsible for the Hampel Report, for corporate governance in the United Kingdom, set up by the Financial Reporting Council in November 1995.
Personal life
He was knighted in the 1995 New Year Honours.
He married in 1957 in Somerset. He has twin sons (born 1962), another son (born 1960) and one daughter (born 1958). He lives in rural West Sussex.

The Oratorio di San Mercurio is a Baroque chapel or prayer room located adjacent to the former Benedictine convent and church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti, in the quarter of the Albergaria, within the historic centre of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy.
History
The oratory was founded in 1557 by an aristocratic confraternity known as the Compagnia di Santa Maria della Consolazione. The oratory was initially called Oratorio del Deserto e di San Mercurio. The oratory grew around a venerated Marian image found in a desolate spot outside of the city. The confraternity had charitable goals of aiding the sick in the Ospedale Grande of Palermo.
and decorated over the next two centuries with a rich stucco decoration, including statues of saints and beatified members of the Carmelite order. The order was affiliated with a number of churches in Palermo, including the Carmine Maggiore a few blocks away.
The oratory hall is preceded by an elegant staircase built in 1719 and an antiroom with maiolica pavement and a fresco depicting Jesus visits the jailed St Mercurius. The interior of the hall was stuccoed in 1678 by Giacomo Serpotta. The oratory has a choir with an organ; the ceiling was frescoed (and stuccoed) with a Glory of St Mercurius while the main altarpiece is a canvas depicting the Vision of the Madonna and Child by St Mercurius. The maiolica pavement of the main hall was completed in 1714-1715 by Sebastiano Gurrello and Maurizio Vagolotta, based on a design by the arhitect-priest Giulio Di Pasquale.

Der Runenberg is a fairy tale written by German writer, translator and poet Ludwig Tieck. It was written in 1802 and first published in 1804 in the Taschenbuch für Kunst und Laune. It was later published in the 1812 collection Phantasus. The tale is seen as one of the earliest stories in the literary movement of Romanticism.
Plot
A melancholic hunter named Christian meets a stranger in the mountains. The stranger accompanies Christian for a while, and Christians tells him about his background - Christian's father, a gardener in a castle, is disappointed with him, because his son does not share the same interests as him, but rather is guided by his longing for the mountains and nature. Christian eventually leaves home and learns how to hunt from an old forester.
After a while Christian and the stranger part ways. On the advice of the stranger, Christian climbs the "Runenberg", doubtful and afraid but inquisitive. After a while he finds a window and peers through it; he sees a singing woman undressing. The naked woman hangs him a strange tablet with signs drawn on it, set with precious stones. Christian falls asleep.
When he wakes up, he can only vaguely remember what has happened and convinces himself it was a dream. A short time later he arrives in a small villlage and is relieved to finally be amongst people again. At the village church he meets his future wife, the beautiful Elisabeth. In order to be near to Elisabeth he takes a job as a gardener with her father.
Christian is a hard worker, and 6 months later he marries Elisabeth. The couple are very happy together and soon start a family. After a long time, Christian decides to visit his hometown. On the way, he meets his father at the foot of the fateful Runenberg. He tells Christian that after his mother died, he became very lonely and thus decided to try to find his son. The two return to Christian's house and the father becomes part of the family. They live happily oncemore. One day a stranger comes to the village and stays at Christian's house. After three months the stranger leaves, leaving behind a large sum of money. Christian is told to take care of it; if the stranger does not return within a year, it is his to keep.
A year passes, and the money becomes Christian's. He increasingly suffers from paranoia - the money has corrupted him, according to his father. He wanders aimlessly until he meets an old woman in the forest. She gives him back the missing tablet, which completely capitivates him.
Christian disappears down a mineshaft and is presumed dead. After many years he returns to his family, who hardly recognise him. In the meantime, his father and parents-in-law have died. Elisabeth has had to remarry due to poverty, and has birthed more children. Christian shows his now-empoverished wife a sack of worthless stones, which nonetheless seem valuable to him. He then returns to his forest wife.
Themes
A central theme of the text is that of the Venusberg, which can be seen in Tieck's story Der getreue Eckbart und der Tannhäuser, and several other Romantic tales, such as Joseph von Eichendorff's Das Marmorbild. In Der Runenberg, the mountain is unhospitable, a desolate place in which dwells the "supernaturally beautiful woman", a manifestation of Venus. The bleak environment of the mountain is contrasted with the wholesome domestic environment of the fertile, light plain where Christian lives with his family.
Der Runenberg shares many themes with Tieck's 1797 story Der blonde Eckbert - both stories feature a "Waldweib", a "woman of the woods"; this manifests itself in Der Runenberg in the Venus-like figure which Christian encounters, and in Der blonde Eckbert as the woman with whom Bertha lives in her childhood. In both tales, this woman possesses supernatural qualities, and is capable of transforming into different forms; in Der Runenberg it can be argued that the Venus-like woman, the stranger who brings Christian gold and the ugly Waldweib are all manifestations of the same being.

The PwPost Bay 06 was a combined mail and luggage van designed for Lokalbahn branch line train services with the Royal Bavarian State Railways in the early 20th century. It was built to their Design Sheet Number 606.
Development
As Bavaria's network of Lokalbahn railways grew so did the requirement for suitable coaches for local passenger transport. Because the only motive power available were tank locomotives with low tractive power, such as the PtL 2/2, coaches of a special lightweight construction were needed.
Procurement
Between 1905 and 1911 a total of 281 wagons of classes BL, BCL, CL and PPostL were procured, all of which - except for the wagons of Class PPostL - had a uniform floor plan, open platforms at each end with Dixi gates on the steps and gangways only protected by a single iron railing. Large window panes were fitted instead of the composite windows that had been usual up to that point. They are sometimes referred to as 'the shorts' or 'the short ones' (Die Kurze).
Because the construction of individual mail or luggage vans on the lightly used Lokalbahn routes was too expensive and unnecessary, between 1905 and 1911 87 combined mail/luggage vans were procured, of which 79 were of the type PwPost Bay 06 built to Design Sheet 606. They were delivered in eight batches by the firms of MAN and Rathgeber.
Of these vans, three were transferred in 1908 and 1911 to the former Palatine Railways, where they were registered under Sheet Nos. 221 and 223.
Career
Of the original 79 vans, by 1940 five had been retired. A total of 44 were taken over by the DB, who retired them by 1963. As early as 1932 eight vans were converted into PwL Bay 06/32 by the removal of the mail compartment; another nine vans were converted in the years after 1945.
Design features
Undercarriage
The underframe of the van was made entirely of rivetted steel beams. The outer longitudinal bars had U-profiles with outward facing flanges. The crossbars were also made of U-beams and were not cranked. The vans were fitted with VDEV screw couplings, the drawbar was continuous and sprung in the centre. As buffing equipment the vans originally had two slotted cylinder buffers with an installed length of 650 mm and buffer plates of 360 mm diameter. These were later replaced by plunger buffers. There was an open gangway platform at one end.
Running gear
The vans had axle boxes of a short, straight design made of rivetted sheet and angled steel. The axles were housed in plain bearing axle boxes. The vans ran on Bavarian Type 37 spoked wheels. In addition to a screw brake there were through air brakes of the Westinghouse type.
Body
The frame of the van body consisted of wooden posts and beams reinforced by steel straps. The walls were clad with sheet steel externally and wood internally. The side and end walls were straight; the doors inset. The gently curved barrel roof was more rounded at the edges, transitioning smoothly into the side walls but extending like a hood over the gangway. This gangway enabled access to the van from the rest of the train. On both sides there were 1,500 mm wide sliding doors with windows that acted as the loading doors to the luggage compartment.
The gangways at the ends were only to be used by railway staff.
In 1932 eight vans were converted into pure luggage vans. They were designated as class PwL Bay 06/32. A further nine were also converted to luggage vans after 1945. They were reclassified as PwL Bay 06/xx.
Facilities
The van body was divided into a mail compartment and a luggage compartment. These compartments were accessible to one another by a central door. The van was lit with paraffin lamps. In the 1930s they were converted to electric lighting. Steam provided the heating. Ventilation was achieved with static ventilators in the roof.

The Carta dominica (Latin for Lord's letter, letter of Jesus Christ on Sunday) is a Christian apocrypha, many variants of which were widespread both in the Greek Church and in the Latin Church. These variants have in common the reminder of Sunday duty, divine threats (particularly agricultural calamities) in case of persistence in neglecting this duty, and the order to propagate the message. The letter is supposed to have been written by Jesus Christ, or by God the Father, Christ then being only the bearer, or by the Father and the Son. The earliest known mention of such a letter dates from around 584. All variants are thought to date back to a single original which has not been preserved.
Various forms of the “Letter of Jesus Christ” circulated in modern times. Voltaire has reproduced a booklet, printed in Bourges in 1771, giving a version of the Letter which, in this same year 1771, would have miraculously descended from the sky at Paimpol. The distribution of variants of the Letter persisted in France until around 1852, when book peddling disappeared.
Father Hippolyte Delehaye, president of the Bollandist Society, saw in the words attributed to Our Lady of La Salette an avatar of the Letter of Jesus Christ on Sunday.

The Vodafone World Headquarters is the main headquarters of Vodafone within the UK.
History
In 1999, Vodafone became the world's largest mobile telecommunications company, and the UK's third-largest public company.
Vodafone decided to move to the site in 1997. In April 1999, the local council was going to refuse outline planning permission for Vodafone to build its headquarters on the site as it was a greenfield development. But, the council planning committee decided on Tuesday 27 April 1999 not to refuse, as Vodafone had threatened to leave the area altogether, and the council wanted the 3,000 jobs and had acknowledged long-term financial generosity given to local sport clubs and charities by the company. The decision was passed by 10 Liberal Democrat councillors on West Berkshire Council voting with the Conservative group. The Liberal Democrats had asked Vodafone to include a £5m housing proposal, which Vodafone refused. The Liberal Democrat council leader resigned after the decision, but was later persuaded to stay. The land was owned by Genevieve Fairhurst, the wife of Conservative MEP Graham Mather. West Berkshire Council has been Conservative-controlled since 2006.
The site received full planning permission in early April 2000, and construction began soon after. At the time of opening, Vodafone was the largest mobile phone company in the world. The site would be called the Vodafone World Headquarters.
The site flooded on 20 July 2007.
The global headquarters was moved to One Kingdom Street in west London in October 2009, having been built in December 2008.
Construction
The £160m whole contract was awarded in mid-April 2000. The construction itself cost £80m.
There were seven buildings connected by tension fabric canopies, built by Architen of Chepstow.
Visits
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the site on Friday 14 November 2008. She met Guy Laurence, the head of Vodafone UK.
The Prime Minister visited the site at 2.30pm on Thursday 3 April 2014; he had been to Manchester and Birmingham on the same day.
Structure
The site had around 3,000 staff, situated on the M4 corridor. There are seven cafes and a restaurant. There is an on-site full-time doctor.
Nearby to the south is Trinity School.
Research

SS M. H. De Young was an American Liberty ship built in 1943 for service in World War II. She was later acquired by the United States Navy and renamed USS Antelope (IX-109). Her namesake was M. H. de Young, an American journalist and businessman from 1865 to 1925.
Description
The ship was long overall ( between perpendiculars, waterline), with a beam of . She had a depth of and a draught of . She was assessed at , , .
She was powered by a triple expansion steam engine, which had cylinders of , and diameter by stroke. The engine was built by the Worthington Pump & Machinery Corporation, Harrison, New Jersey. It drove a single screw propeller, which could propel the ship at .
Construction and career
M. H. De Young was laid down on 15 June 1943 Richmond, California, by the Permanente Metals Corp., under a Maritime Commission contract (M.C.E. Hull 1587). She was launched on 6 July 1943 and sponsored by Mrs. George T. Cameron. the ship was delivered to the Maritime Commission at 3:15 p.m. on 19 July 1943.
Operated under a general agency agreement by R. A. Nichol & Co., Inc., M. H. DeYoung was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-19 (the celebrated Cmdr. Kinashi Takakazu, commanding, who had torpedoed and sunk USS Wasp (CV-7), damaged USS North Carolina (BB-55) and caused catastrophic, mortal, damage to USS O’Brien (DD-415) in one spread of torpedoes on 15 September 1942) on 14 August 1943 about 1,000 miles east of Nouméa, New Caledonia, less than a month after being completed. Brought into Espíritu Santo in the New Hebrides, the Liberty ship was partially repaired on board USS ABSD-1 and taken over by the Navy under a bareboat charter at 12:01 a.m. on 4 October 1943. She was renamed Antelope (IX-109) and placed in service the day she was taken over, Lt. L. G. Elsell in charge.
Antelope had her engines removed and spent the entire war as a non-self-propelled dry cargo storage vessel assigned to Service Squadron 8. Scanty records make it impossible to compile a list of locations at which Antelope served, but Espíritu Santo appears to have been her first duty station and Subic Bay in the Philippines was her last known location while still a naval vessel. It is also possible that she saw some duty at Leyte when support forces established a base there after the Battle of Leyte. In any event, she was inspected at Subic Bay and found to be beyond economical repair and surplus to the needs of the Navy.
Antelope was placed out of service and laid up at Subic Bay at 11:00 a.m. on 3 May 1946 and was simultaneously delivered to the Maritime Commission's War Shipping Administration. Her name was stricken from the Navy Register on 21 May 1946, and, along with 14 other vessels, she was sold for scrapping to the Asia Development Corp., Shanghai, China, on 3 March 1948. The ship was broken up in 1950.
