Jan Skarbek Square in Oświęcim (Polish: Plac ks. Jana Skarbka, former name: Kościelny Square, renamed in 1992) – a square in the Old Town of Oświęcim, Poland, located at Kościelna Street (matching the previous name of the square). The Berka Joselewicza Street (formerly Żydowska) also connects to the square.
Layout and buildings
The square adjoins Kościelna Street with one side and is surrounded by urban buildings, which include the pre-war synagogue, the adjoining pre-war Kornreich and Dattner house, the Kleuger house and post-war buildings on both sides of the square. In the middle of the square there is a protected and restored historic city well, uncovered during urban renovation works in 2009.
Oświęcim Synagogue
In the years 1928-1930, the building of the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue was built. It is the only surviving synagogue in Oświęcim. The synagogue functioned until the German army entered Oświęcim in 1939. During World War II, the occupiers devastated the interior of the synagogue and utilized it as an ammunition warehouse. After the Soviet troops had entered Oświęcim, the synagogue was returned to its original function and served the small Jewish community. By 1955, almost all Jews had left the town. In 1977, the synagogue building was taken over by the Polish State Treasury. In 1998, it was returned to the Jewish Community in Bielsko-Biała and then, in June 1998, it was transferred to the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation. In the years 1999-2000 the synagogue was renovated and the building regained its former appearance.
Kornreich and Dattner House
The Kornreich and Dattner house adjoins the synagogue building. Before World War II, four families lived in this building, including the Jewish families of the Kornreich and Dattner. Since 2000, this building, together with the adjacent synagogue and the house of the Kleuger family, forms the buildings of the Auschwitz Jewish Center and Museum in Oświęcim. The permanent exhibition of the Jewish Museum is presented in the Kornreich building.
Kleuger House
The building located at the back of the Oświęcim Synagogue was probably built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1928 it became the property of Ber Teichman and his daughter, Frida Kleuger née Teichman. Symcha and Frida Kleuger, as well as their six children, died during the Holocaust. Only Shimson, Moshe and Bronia survived. Shimson Kleuger, as the only one of three siblings, returned to Oświęcim in the 1960s and moved to his family home. Shimson was the last Jewish resident of Oświęcim. Currently, the Kleuger family house is home to the Café Bergson museum café and the educational spaces of the Jewish Center in Oświęcim.
City well
In the center of the square, there are preserved remains of a historic city well, uncovered during renovation works in 2009.
Display
There is a display on the square, the form of a solid reminiscent of the core exhibition of the Jewish Museum in Oświęcim. Its triangular shape refers to the torn arms of the Star of David, indicating the directions of emigration of the Jewish inhabitants of Oświęcim. The interior of the display contains drawings, photographs and texts related to the narrative of the core exhibition. The display stand is visible from the side of Kościelna Street and the Market Square, and the apex shows the entrance to the Jewish Museum.
Patron
The present patron of the square is Father Jan Skarbek, a Roman Catholic priest born in 1885, parish priest, chronicler and honorary citizen of Oświęcim (he received this title from the city authorities in 1934). Father Skarbek was known for cultivating good interfaith relations in Oświęcim and maintaining friendly relations with the last rabbi of Oświęcim, Elyahu Bombach.

Reyhan Jamalova is a young Azerbaijani woman in STEM whose work is geared toward sustainable energy in rural areas. She is the founder and CEO of Rainergy, a company that focuses on harnessing the power of rainwater to sustainably generate electricity. Currently, she is an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. Additionally, she is has received a number of honorable mentions, awards, and/or honors for the work that she has done, including praise from the Azerbaijani government.
Early life
Childhood
Jamalova became interested in human rights as a child. She, along with her best friend started a fundraising campaign for children in Somalia who had limited access to education, food, and water. After collecting $10 by selling things like crayons and pencils, Jamalova and her friend (with the help of Jamalova's parents) brought this money to a charity.
As a child, Jamalova and her family experienced torrential rains in the Caucasus Mountains. These rains would lead to devastating events for the community such as the loss of crops, flooding, and general building damage along with potholes and bridge collapse. Growing up in this environment influenced Jamalova's interest in sustainability in order to help her community and others alike.
Education
Having been born in a small village, Jamalova did not have access to education in STEM and was expected to marry by the age of 17. However, at the age of 12, Jamalova won the highest score on an entrance exam for a renowned school in Baku and moved away from her family to continue her education. At age 15, Jamalova founded Rainergy.
Jamalova received an admissions offer to the University of Pennsylvania along with a scholarship. She is currently in her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, interested in majoring in computer and information science. After she earns her Bachelor's degree, she plans to get a Master's degree in Data Science while working on Rainergy.
Rainergy
Jamalova, with the help of her friend and physics tutors, worked for 4 months doing calculations and developing a generator to harvest energy from rainwater. Rainergy was first introduced during a ClimateLaunchpad competition, where it was voted as the favored project among audience members. The building phase of the project was initially funded by the government of Azerbaijan, but has since attracted other investors, including The Global Good Fund and Islamic Development Bank.
The device is 9-meters-tall and consists of four integral parts: "a rainwater collector, a water tank, an electric generator and a battery." The role of the rainwater collector is to fill the reservoir with rainwater, which will quickly flow through the generator and produce energy. This energy is then stored via a battery, which allows it to be used for energy even when there is a lack of rainfall. This device reduces reliance on other sources of energy, such as local power grids. Additionally, it is inexpensive.
Jamalova and her team's initial prototype could light 22 LED lamps with 22W of power. Compared to other alternative energy systems, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and piezoelectricity, Rainergy emits lower CO2 emissions with 10g per KW/H emitted during electricity production.

This is a bibliography of literature treating the topic of criticism of Scientology, sorted by alphabetical order of titles.
Overview
Between 1954 and 2020, only four English-language scholarly monographs have been published about Scientology (Wallis 1977 [1976]; Whitehead 1987; Urban 2011; Westbrook 2019). Most other critical works have come in the form of apostate memoirs: books written by ex-members about their experiences within the Church of Scientology (CoS). On several occasions, the licensee of the CoS has initiated copyright infringement lawsuits to restrain the publication of books critical of Scientology or its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Since 2008, the Internet has been able to provide a much safer ground for publishing material critical of the CoS, because traditional copyright law had little application there.

Publication history
Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni as a mythological superhero on the cover of the novel. Quiz the writer about what made him rope the sportsperson and he says, “Since the scale is big, we wanted a big name to take it to the next level. And MSD was the right person. We always wanted him but getting him on-board felt like a distant dream.”
He adds, “Being a real-life hero, he is the perfect fit for the character of a superhero in the novel. He didn’t only give us his face but also collaborated with us in a big way. He contributed to an extent which we never expected.”
Talking about what sets it apart from regular comic books, Thamilmani says, “We’ve created 3D models of characters. We hired stunts men to show us action sequences and draw them. It was a time-consuming process and was more like a pre-production for a film."

The Door Tree was a historic and unique old white oak tree in Hamden, Connecticut, United States. The unique growth of the tree resembled a doorway opening. The tree was cut down in an act of vandalism in 2019.
History
The tree was located on the grounds of the Regional Water Authority and was estimated to be 175 to 200 years old. It was not known what caused one tree to grow into the form and shape of a doorway arch. Because of the unique appearance it garnered interest and appreciation. The Door Tree also appeared on the TV show Ripley's Believe it or Not. The tree was a local landmark and it was also featured on a full page of Rachel Hartley's 1943 book The History of Hamden, Connecticut, 1786-1936.
On July 18, 2019, the tree was found sawed down and in pieces, with scattered trash near the base. In an effort to locate the person responsible for the destruction of the tree, a $1,000 reward was offered by The Regional Water Authority. The Hamden Historical Society also offered a $1,000 reward for information.
Curtis Pardee of New Haven Connecticut was arrested for sawing down the tree and later admitted that he felled the tree with a chainsaw. Police were able to track Pardee down from the paper garbage scattered around the sawed stump, and a small bottle of chainsaw oil which was purchased on Pardee's credit card. After being confronted with the evidence, Pardee confessed that he had cut the tree down to spite his brother. Pardee was charged with third degree criminal mischief and later claimed that he suffered from mental illness for years. Pardee also claimed that his brother loved the tree and he destroyed it because of his hatred for his brother. He claimed the destruction of the 60 to 70 foot tall white oak tree took 3 days. He cut part of the tree on June 28, 2019, and then returned for the next two days to cut down the rest and he also felled a nearby tree. He claimed people were traversing the area while he was destroying the tree, but nobody questioned him.
In court he had been charged with third-degree criminal trespassing and third degree criminal mischief: as a sentence for his crime, Pardee was allowed to be a part of a supervised diversionary program. He was also ordered to donate $500 to the Nature conservancy and pay for a plaque at the site of the felled tree if the water authority decides to commemorate the tree. He also gave an apology to the people of Hamden after the judge encouraged him to do so, but he did not apologize to his brother (known locally as Mr. Door Tree) David Pardee.
Legacy
In September 2019, the town of Hamden began a project called "Project Welcome" with a plan to plant five new "door trees". The town announced that the Hamden Public Works Department would oversee the project, and the individual trees would be supervised by the Town's Tree Warden and an arborist.
Parts of the felled White Oak tree were harvested and made into pens by D.L. Heritage Works of Clinton, Connecticut. The pens were given to key people from Hamden, and to the Hamden Historical Society.

Biscayneer was a brig launched in 1776 in Spain, almost certainly under another name. She first appeared as Biscayneer in 1783. She traded between Dartmouth, Devon and Newfoundland. She suffered two major maritime incidents, one in 1786 and a second in 1789. She was last listed in 1800, but apparently had not sailed since early 1796.
Career
Biscayneer first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1783.
Lloyd's Register for 1786 carried the annotation "Lost" by Biscayneers name.
Biscayner, Culley, master, was reported to have been lost at Newfoundland. She had come from Dartmouth and was said to have engaged in fishing.
Early in 1789 Biscayneer came ashore and was severely damaged in the Isles of Scilly. She was on a voyage from Newfoundland to Barnstaple and Dartmouth. The next report, a week later, was that Biscayneer, Hodge, master, was at Scilly, with extensive damage, having come from San Sebastian.
Fate
Biscayneer was last listed in 1800. However, the last mentions of her in Lloyd's Lists ship arrival and departure data occurred in January 1796.

This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket teams, a side which played matches in India. The Europeans cricket teams played first-class cricket from 1892 until 1948, one year after India gained Independence from the United Kingdom. The Europeans were split into two distinct teams: one based in Bombay and which played in the Bombay Quadrangular, and the other based in Madras, which played in the Madras Presidency Matches. In total, the Europeans played in 127 first-class matches, until their first-class status was discontinued after the 1947–48 season.
The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a first-class player for the side and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards. Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides the Europeans.

Barry Rosen is a former American diplomat who is known for being held hostage during the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis.
Rosen was the press attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran when it was seized by militants on November 4, 1979. He was held for 444 days, until the hostages' release on January 20, 1981. Regarding his hostage experience, Rosen said, "We were the first victims of modern state-sponsored terrorism." Along with other American hostages, he has been part of a lawsuit against the Iranian government, seeking justice for the suffering they endured. In his view, "Iranians need to know that you just can't do this in this world, abrogating international law, walking into an embassy, taking over people. They really didn’t learn a lesson from the hostage crisis."
In January 2022, Rosen went on hunger strike demanding that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal not be revived without the release of foreign nationals being held in Iran. Rosen stopped his hunger strike after five days "at the request of his family after the lead US nuclear negotiator said no deal was likely to be struck with Iran without the release of the hostages."

Dustin Ray Burrows (born November 14, 1978) is an attorney and businessman in Lubbock, Texas, who is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 83. He has represented the 83rd district since January 2015. Burrows is the former Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the former Chair of House Republican Caucus. He has sponsored legislation including the SB2 bill, enabling Texas taxpayers to control local tax rates and tax increases. He also serves as the Chairman of the House Calendars Committee, a position he has held since 2021.
Burrows was chair of the state’s House Republican Caucus from January 2019 until August, when he resigned the post amid allegations he had been taped negotiating a quid pro quo with Empower Texans chair Michael Quinn Sullivan and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen.
Early life, education, and career
Burrows graduated from Monterey High School in Lubbock. In 2001, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Rhodes College, a private college in Memphis, Tennessee, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. In 2004, Burrows received a Master of Business Administration from the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University in Lubbock and a Juris Doctor from the Texas Tech University School of Law. He and his father, Dennis Ray Burrows, are in private partnership together. Burrows is licensed to practice law in New Mexico and Texas and was a partner in the Texas firm McCleskey, Harriger, Brazill, & Graff.
Legislative career
Texas House of Representatives
Nomination and election
Burrows was nominated by the Terry County Republican Party to run for the Texas House of Representatives in 2014, representing the 83rd District. He won the general election for the position in November 2014, beating Democratic opponent Max R. Tarbox with 81.2 percent of the vote. He was re-elected in 2016, running unopposed.
Re-election, Chair of House Republican Caucus
He was re-elected to the House for his third legislative session in 2018, defeating Democrat Drew Landry with 77.3 percent of the vote. After the election, Burrows was elected as Chair of the House Republican Caucus, and was appointed to chair the Ways and Means Committee.
In this capacity Burrows authored the HB2 bill, which enables Texas taxpayers to control local tax rates and tax increases. The legislation was partnered with another piece of legislation which dealt with public school finance reform, HB3; that bill provides almost $5 billion in property tax relief and increased the state's share of school funding.
In addition to these bills, Burrows was behind legislation supporting Texas firefighters, an issue he had begun to successfully address during the prior session. During the 86th Session, Burrows co-authored House Bill 1521 -- "which would penalize insurers that illegally deny Texas first responders access to medical treatment for line-of-duty injuries covered under state workers’ compensation laws. This proposed legislation would amend Section 415.021 of the Labor Code to add sanctions, administrative penalties, and other remedies, including attorney's fees, for administrative violations by self- or collectively insured municipalities obligated to cover eligible workers’ compensation claims. The amount of the administrative penalty shall not be less than two times the total amount of benefits payable in connection with the first responder employee's claim."
HB 1525 - also authored by Burrows, Flower Mound Republican Senator Jane Nelson and Dallas Democratic Senator Royce West, will enable Texas to collect more than half a billion dollars over the next two years after enforcing the state’s sales tax across state lines. Prior to this legislation, the state could only force sellers to collect Texas sales tax if they had a physical location in Texas, putting small businesses at a financial disadvantage.
Burrows was present at a 2019 meeting with Empower Texans CEO Michael Quinn Sullivan and Dennis Bonnen, where Sullivan later accused them of offering press credentials in exchange for targeting moderate Republican members seeking re-election. Burrows resigned as Republican Caucus Chairman following the accusation. An investigation by the Texas Rangers ultimately concluded that no laws were broken in the exchange.
Re-election, Chair to the House Calendars Committee
On August 22, 2019, Burrows announced he would seek re-election and was endorsed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. He ran unopposed in the 2020 Republican primary and defeated Democrat Addison Perry-Franks in the general election with 79.29 percent of the vote. After the election, Burrows was assigned as the Chair to the House Calendars Committee, overseeing the timeline and order for bills to reach the House floor.
Burrows and Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) introduced legislation to reprimand any localities who choose to utilize a loophole in the State's property tax code. Burrows spearheaded an ultimately successful effort to have gun stores in Texas declared essential businesses, allowing them to choose to open during the State's Covid-19 lockdown. During the regular Session, Burrows supported local political efforts in Lubbock, Texas to outlaw abortion at the local level. After the Dallas Mavericks reportedly stopped playing the National Anthem before games, Burrows supported suspending tax-subsidies for stadiums that stopped playing the anthem.
Personal life
Burrows is married to the former Elisabeth Hause, who grew up in South Texas in a family engaged in cattle ranching and oil and natural gas. They have three sons. The family is evangelical Christian.

The GwL class vans of the Royal Bavarian State Railways were goods vans built for branch lines in the Kingdom of Bavaria in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Procurement
The branch lines in Bavaria were generally known as Lokalbahnen, literally "local railways", and were of particularly light construction entailing the use of lightweight rolling stock. Between 1884 and 1906, 258 vans of the class GwL were built for this purpose in a number of batches each with a different designation.
Description
The GwL class were covered vans which had the appearance of Lokalbahn coaching stock, including similar lettering. The vans were had open platforms at both ends. Access to the loading area was either via a pair of hinged doors or a single door in the centre of the side walls. On either side of the doors was a window. The wheelbase of the earliest vans was 3.63 m, but was later increased to 3.8 and eventually 4.5 m. The overall length also increased from 8.224 m to 8.624 m.

Don't Be Foolish is a one-reeler 1922 silent film directed by and starring Billy West made by Sunrise Comedies and distributed by Superior Films.
West is less Chaplin-like in this role than former movies, limiting himself to a Chaplin moustache.
Plot
A man enters a park and sits on a bench, the titles tell us that the trees are full of sap and the sap is full of bananas. The man starts eating a banana.
A senior policeman in the park directs two junior policemen where to go. The man on the bench throws his banana skin on the ground and the policeman glares at him. When the policeman turns he throws a second skin, somewhat harder, hitting the senior officer in the chest. He thinks this is the second junior officer and tells him to stop getting fresh. When the junior officer leaves and he continues to get hit by more skins he goes to source the problem. He confronts the man, whio hands him a banana and walks off with the policeman following. A chase begins.
A second policeman joins as the man zigzags through the park. He poses with a statuary group to avoid being seen. He finds a man dressed similarly and tells him to run as there is a mad dog. The police run after the wrong man.
Outside the park a woman (Lydia) drops her handbag. He picks it up and taps her on the shoulder. When she turns her ugly face makes him faint.
Back in the park a pretty girl is feeding the ducks from a bench. Lydia goes into the park and sits on the other end of the bench to read a magazine. They chat and it is made clear that they live in the same apartment block. Lydia gives the younger girl a calling card.
The Toff bumps into a man as they meet on a corner. A nearby accident hurls the girl's small case which hits the man and he thinks it was the Toff (who is holding a stone). The man punches him to the ground. He looks inside the case and finds various make-up items all of which he eats. He particularly enjoys the powder puff. Walking with the little case two men ridicule him for looking effeminate. The girl catches up and asks for her case and he returns it. She gives him a calling card... but it is Lydia's.
The Toff does not realise that the girl has gone and he takes the policeman's arm and they go for a stroll. When they encounter a second policeman the Toff holds back, without seeing whose arm he has. He says "there is a certain cop I want to avoid". Eventually seeing him he runs off, again with various devices to stop being seen but is caught. The cop calls for the paddy wagon on a street phone but the Toff says he is hungry and wants to go to the nearby Sip and Bit Cafe. The policeman goes in to get him a sandwich. He takes the opportunity to use the phone to cancel the paddy wagon.
A different policeman arrives who saw him using the police phone. He walks briskly off with the new policeman matching his stride. The tempo increases until they are running. He escapes and uses a phone to call Miss Lydia. Her maid answers and passes the phone to Lydia. The Toff calls her "sweet angel face" and asks if he can visit. When he arrives the maid answers the door. He sits on a sofa but when Lydia arrives he does not look and just repeatedly nudges her in a playful manner. When he eventually looks his hat flies off. He asks her to play hide and seek and blindfolds her. He climbs in the dumb waiter and it descends to the apartment of the girl he thought he was visiting. At first he does not see her and tries to creep out. She spots him and asks where he came from. He asks for a carnation from her vase.
Meanwhile, Lydia is still counting. She faints soon after reaching one million.
The toff spots a policeman's cap in the girl's flat and decides to leave - just as the policeman returns. He hides behind a screen but does not realise he is visible in a mirror to the side. They walk up and down in tandem and it turns into a dance and then a circular chase. He escapes via the fire escape and finds white overalls to dress as a decorator but the policeman spots the change. But when he gets closer and hits him it is a black man in white overalls. Another chase begins joined by a second policeman. He hides in a blanket striped with black paint which transforms his overalls into a typical prison uniform. He hides behind a fence but is rammed by sheep and pushed through, where three policemen now wait. He runs into a tall gate and closes it, but it is the penitentiary.

The 1694 Siege of Huy or Second Siege of Huy took place during the Nine Years' War between 22 September and 27 September 1694. The campaign of 1694 started rather late in the year. The French limited themselves to defending what they already had and William III first wanted to await the outcome of the expedition to Brest. The Anglo-Dutch amphibious assault was a failure. 2000 of the 7000 allies died in the assault. At the same time William III was gathering the Anglo-Dutch army at Leuven. End July he reviewed the troops there and they were in excellent condition. The Anglo-Dutch army was reinforced by 6,000 Bavarian troops in pay of Spain and numbered 84,000 men in total. The allies possessed the numerical advantage so the French remained on the defensive. When this became clear to William III he send the Duke of Holstein Plön and Menno van Coehoorn with an army to take the city of Huy. 5 days later on 27 September, the French garrison surrendered. The 780 remaining defenders of the original 1200 were allowed to march out with the honours of war. William III felt that enough had been achieved this year: the allies didn't have to keep as many troops on garrison duty in Liége and the Meuse was again in allied hands up to Namur. It also allowed him to plan for the siege of Namur the next year.

Aghios Nikon is a small and mountainous village in the municipality of West Mani in the prefecture of Messinia, Greece. Its former name was Poliana.
History
Aghios Nikon was mentioned for the first time in 1618, in the statistics of Petros Medikos, as a small settlement of 10 houses with the name Poliana di Sigo.
As a village, it seems to have been created by residents from the neighboring villages of Lagkada and Koutifari, while during the pre-revolutionary years it belonged to the captaincy of Platsa.
The current name of the village was given on April 30, 1929, and it is attributed to Saint Nikon the Repentant, who was active in the area as a preacher of Christianity at the end of the 10th century. According to a local tradition, he was buried in the wider area.
Interesting facts
Geographically, it is the eastern boundary of the Western or Outer Mani, on the provincial road Kalamata-Areopolis, while it is 64 km away from the first. The area is characterized as semi-mountainous, as it is located at an altitude of about 400 meters on the western slope of Taygetos. The peak above the village is also called Aghios Nikon and it is located at an altitude of 1214 m. From the village, there is a panoramic view of the Messinian Gulf.
Population
The current population of the village is approximately 78 inhabitants.

Judianna Wai-ling Barnes (born 1952) is a judge in the Hong Kong High Court. She has ruled in a number of notable and widely reported cases, including those concerning applications of bail filed by politician and activist Agnes Chow, and in the acquittal of politician and legislator, Wong Yuk-man, after he threw a glass at Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.
Biography
Barnes was born in 1952 in China. She completed an LL.B. from the University of Hong Kong in 1981, and a P.C.LL. in 1982. She went on to earn an M.Sc. in forensic and legal psychology from the University of Leicester.
Career
Barnes joined the Hong Kong Bar in 1982, practicing privately until 1989. In 1989, she was appointed as a magistrate and was promoted to District Judge in 1997. She became a judge in the Hong Kong High Court on 24 November 2006.
During her tenure as a judge, Barnes has ruled in several notable cases.
In 2016, Barnes overturned a sentence awarded to legislator Ted Hui Chi-fung, after a magistrate required him to sign a 'good behavior bond' following an incident during a protest that he had organised. Pointing to the absence of any prior record of violence, she held that the bond was not necessary.
In 2018, Barnes quashed the conviction of former legislator, Wong Yuk-man, after he threw a glass at Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, and was subsequently convicted of assault. Barnes ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove the offence of assault, pointing to the lack of reaction by Chun-ying after the glass was initially thrown. The incident, and Barnes' ruling, attracted extensive discussion in the press. In 2019, she sentenced an 89-year-old man who had killed his terminally ill wife to only two years in prison, allowing his release within a month based on time served, and called for "justice to be tempered with mercy.". The decision was widely reported and discussed, in the context of debates on the legalization of euthanasia.
In November 2021, she issued a ruling releasing Ka Wan-lung, a student activist, holding that he had been wrongly convicted of assaulting a police officer during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. Also in August 2021, she granted bail to politician and activist Agnes Chow, who had been charged with incitement after organizing a rally in memory of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. Barnes had previously denied bail to Chow in 2020, during her appeal against a 10-month sentence for her participation in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests.

Crusades against Christians were Christian religious wars dating from the 11thcentury First Crusade when papal reformers began equating the universal church with the papacy. Later in the 12thcentury focus changed onto heretics and schismatics rather than infidels. Holy wars were fought in northern France, against King Roger II of Sicily, various heretics, their protectors, mercenary bands and the first political crusade against Markward of Anweiler. Full crusading apparatus was deployed against Christians in the conflict with the Cathar heretics of southern France and their Christian protectors in the 13th. This was given equivalence with the Eastern crusades and supported by developments such as the creation of the Papal States. The aims were to make the crusade indulgence available to the laity, the reconfiguration of Christian society, and ecclesiastical taxation.
Crusades against Christians
Christian holy war had a long history pre-dating the 11thcentury . This resulted in the Peace and Truce of God movement supporting military defence of the church, clergy and its property. In 1053 Pope Leo IX attacked the Italo-Normans granting troops sin remission in return for a holy war. Later, Pope Gregory VII and his militia considered fighting for the papacy as penitential; death brought salvation. This was less about an Augustinian just war than militant Christianity fighting in defence of the church from the 8thcentury. Late 11thcentury works by Anselm of Lucca and Bonizo of Sutri focused on heretics and schismatics rather than infidels. The First Crusade encouraged further holy wars, peacekeeping in northern France, papal fighting with King Roger II of Sicily in the 1120s and 1130s, and against various heretics, their protectors, and mercenary bands in the 1130s and 1170s. Although there is little evidence of crusade preaching, Pope Innocent III is said to have waged the first "political" crusade from November 1199 for Sicily against Markward of Anweiler. Full crusading apparatus was first deployed against Christians in the conflict with the Cathar heretics of southern France and their Christian protectors in 1208. In 1215, the Fourth Lateran Council gave the Albigensian Crusade, between 1209 and 1229, equivalence with the Eastern crusades. This crusade was supported by developments such as the creation of the Papal States, the aim to make the crusade indulgence available to the laity, the reconfiguration of Christian society, and ecclesiastical taxation.
The Papacy's drive for homogenous Christianity encouraged crusades against any group with which there were differences such as:
the Dutch Drenther peasants from 1228 to 1232;
Bosnians fighting the Hungarians from 1227;
the Stedinger peasants from 1232 to 1234;
English rebels in 1216, 1217 and 1265;
Greek Orthodox Byzantines fighting to reclaim territory lost to the Fourth Crusade in 1231, 1239 and the 14thcentury until the Ottomans provided a greater threat. Various Popes used crusading for securing the papacy's political position:
Against the Hohenstaufen's of Germany and Sicily from 1239 to 1269 preventing encirclement by their German, Italian and Sicilian territories, reasserting papal feudal claims over Sicily and to defend the March of Ancona and the duchy of Spoleto. Church taxation funded John of Brienne's campaigns of 1228 to 1230, but it was in 1239 that Gregory IX first called a formal crusade when Frederick threatened Rome after defeating the Lombard League. Following the emperor's death, crusading continued against his sons, the legitimate Conrad IV of Germany and the illegitimate Manfred, King of Sicily. Pope Clement IV recruited Charles I of Anjou, the younger brother of Louis IX of France, who in February 1266 defeated and killed Manfred at the Benevento, in August 1268 defeated Conradin, Conrad IV's son, at Tagliacozzo and ended the Staufen dynasty male line in October with Conradin's execution in October.
Against Ezzelino III da Romano and his brother Alberic in 1255.
Against Sardinia in 1263
The Sicilian Vespers, the wars for Angevin control of Sicily from 1282 to 1302. In 1282 the Sicilians rebelled against Charles I of Anjou and Frederick's son-in-law, Peter III of Aragon, annexed the island. A 1283 crusade invading Aragon and a 1285 crusade invading the island by Philip III of France failed. Crusading against Aragonese rulers continued when Frederick III of Sicily refused to return the island to the Angevins. This ended in 1302 with the treaty of Caltabellota.
Maintaining papal interests during the Avignon Papacy from 1309 to 1377.
During the Western Schism between 1378 and 1417.
Against Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor reasserting imperial claims from 1310 to1313.
Pope Boniface VIII conflict with the Colonna family in 1297.
The 1306 suppression of the heresies of Fra Dolcino in Piedmont.
Against Venice over Ferrara in 1309–1310
Crusades organised by cardinal-legates such as Bertrand du Pouget and Gil Albornoz against Milan and Ferrara in 1321; against Milan, Mantua, and rebels in Ancona in 1324; against Cesena and Faenza in 1354; against Milan again in 1360, 1363, and 1368; against mercenary companies such as that of Konrad von Landau In 1357, 1361 and 1369–1370.
During the Great Schism between 1378 and 1417, Roman Pope Urban VI launched crusades against his Avignon rival Pope Clement VII in 1378. Clement VII gave crusade privileges to competitors in the Neapolitan succession, as did Antipope John XXIII in 1411 and 1414.
In 1383, Pope Urban VI gave Henry le Despenser's English campaign against Flanders the status of crusade as was John of Gaunt's attempt on the throne of Castile in 1386.
After 1417, the papacy became reluctant to use crusading for political ends, perhaps recognising the lack of adequate church funds to sponsor large armies, the futility, and the damage they caused to the standing of both papacy and crusade. Only Pope Julius II continued crusading in Italy. However, religious crusades continued against the Hussites of Bohemia in 1420, 1421, 1422, 1427, 1431 and between 1465 and 1471.
Another was planned between 1428 and 1429. The Reformation prompted a revival with several schemes, including against Henry VIII of England and Elizabeth I of England.

Abd al-Rahim ibn Ilyas ibn Ahmad ibn al-Mahdi () was a member of the Fatimid dynasty who was named heir-apparent by the caliph al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah in 1013. When al-Hakim was murdered in 1021, he was sidelined in favour of al-Hakim's son, Ali al-Zahir, arrested and imprisoned. He died in captivity, officially by his own hands, but likely assassinated by the real power behind al-Zahir's throne, the princess Sitt al-Mulk.
Life
Ibn Ilyas was a descendant of the first Fatimid caliph, al-Mahdi Billah (). The son of a Christian woman, nothing is known of his early life until he appears in the chronicles in 1013, when the reigning caliph, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah () chose to name him as his heir-apparent. Before the official designation, al-Hakim took care to elevate Ibn Ilyas's status. In June 1013, he wed two of Ibn Ilyas's daughters with the widows of the executed vizier, Husayn ibn Jawhar. Shortly after, during the Eid al-Adha festivities, Ibn Ilyas substituted for the caliph, and a formal proclamation as heir-apparent, with the traditional title of , followed in September or October of the same year. A section of the caliphal palaces was assigned to his use, his name added to the caliph's in coinage and banners, and the Fatimid army took an oath of allegiance to him. He was accorded all caliphal insignia, apart from the ceremonial parasol (). Over the next months and years, Ibn Ilyas is frequently mentioned substituting for al-Hakim in public ceremonies and in the hearing of petitions.
This appointment was a major break with Fatimid tradition, where the oldest surviving son had always been the designated heir; it even threatened to provoke a religious schism, as father-to-son succession was a fundamental tenet of Isma'ili dogma. Indeed, in later years such irregular successions would be responsible for the major rifts in the unity of the Isma'ili community: the Nizari–Musta'li schism in 1094, and the Tayyibi–Hafizi schism in 1130. It is for this reason that male members of the Fatimid dynasty other than the caliph and his designated heir were strictly kept away from government affairs. The selection of Ibn Ilyas in particular was a surprise, since al-Hakim had a son of his own, the eight-year-old Ali, and Ibn Ilyas himself was evidently of an advanced age, and had sons of his own, and possibly even grandsons.
Moreover, al-Hakim specified that while Ibn Ilyas would become caliph () after his death, the position of Imam of the Isma'ili faith would pass to another distant relative, Abu Hashim al-Abbas, a great-grandson of al-Mahdi, thus separating the civilian and spiritual aspects of his office. The succession arrangements were widely announced, but met with widespread criticism because of the deviation from the direct line of succession, and contributed to a rift between al-Hakim and his sister, Sitt al-Mulk. It is known that the Zirid viceroy of Ifriqiya, Badis ibn Mansur () was especially displeased by it. Ibn Ilyas was also perceived as an adversary by Hamza ibn Ali, an Isma'ili missionary who advocated al-Hakim's divinity and founder of the Druze sect, since God could not have a partner or a successor.
In 1018/19, Ibn Ilyas was appointed governor of Damascus, where he engaged in a complicated power struggle with the local Fatimid garrison, the urban militia (), and a short-lived replacement, Muhammad ibn Abi Talib al-Jarrar. It was only after al-Jarrar's murder that Ibn Ilyas was able to return to Damascus and establish himself as its governor, with the support of the .
Al-Hakim disappeared—most likely assassinated by disaffected palace factions, apparently involving Sitt al-Mulk—on one of his habitual nightly rides on 13 February 1021. The caliph's disappearance was kept secret for six weeks, while the power struggle for the succession raged in the palace. In Damascus, Ibn Ilyas was apparently ignorant of events. Nevertheless, when a missive purporting to be from al-Hakim summoned him back to Cairo, he refused to obey it.
In the meantime, Sitt al-Mulk, who sponsored the succession of al-Hakim's son Ali, soon secured her position as the de facto head of the new regime, and on 26 March, during the Eid al-Adha festival, the death of al-Hakim and the succession of Ali, with the regnal name al-Zahir li-i'zaz Din Allah (), were announced. On the same day, Ibn Ilyas was arrested by a specially dispatched force in Damascus, and carried off in chains to Cairo. There he was kept in house arrest in the caliphal palace until his death sometime later. According to the official account relayed by the courtier and historian al-Quda'i, he committed suicide by thrusting a fruit knife into his belly, but, as the historian Heinz Halm notes, nobody believed this version. Rumours insisted that he had been assassinated at the instigation of Sitt al-Mulk—the murderer was reportedly the black eunuch slave Mi'dhad, a close confidant of the princess and tutor to al-Zahir—to remove the last potential rival to al-Zahir.

On 20 May 1992, Brian Schlaepfer murdered six members of his family on their Paerata farm, near Pukekohe, Auckland Region, New Zealand before he shot himself. The massacre was one of the most high-profile shootings in New Zealand's history.
Murders
Schlaepfer, who suffered from mild depression, quarreled with his wife in their bedroom before stabbing her to death with a knife. One of his sons went to investigate the noise of the fight and was shot. Schlaepfer then went to the barn where he shot his other son. The wife of one of his sons went from another house to search for the origin of the gunshots and was wounded by shots on the way to the house where the murders had taken place. She ran to her house and called the police on the emergency telephone number (111).
Schlaepfer next shot and stabbed his grandson in his bed, then shot his son's wife in the kitchen while she was talking to the police. Schlaepfer then returned to the barn where he shot his son and waited for his other son to return from work. Schlaepfer shot and stabbed him when he arrived, then went to the bushes near the house and shot himself. Schlaepfer's granddaughter, who had hidden from him in a wardrobe, survived the shooting of her mother and continued speaking to police on the emergency line for three hours, describing what was happening at the scene until it was secured by police. Schlaepfer used a shotgun and a .22-calibre rifle during the shooting.
Gun control context
At the time of the event, gun owners were still regulated under the Arms Act 1983, which granted lifetime licences. New Zealand legislation to amend the act in order to review licences every 10 years (a consequence of the 1990 Aramoana massacre) had not yet been enacted. Thomas Thorp considered the Schlaepfer murders in his comprehensive 1995 Review of Firearms Control in New Zealand for the New Zealand Government. Thorp found that Schlaepfer had been issued with a class A firearms licence in 1984 and had no known history of mental illness or domestic violence according to police records.

Adenko Svhat-Haimovitch (born 1976, Hebrew: אדנקו סבחת-חיימוביץ) is an Israeli Lawyer who serves as a Judge in the Magistrate's Court in the Central District of Israel. Svhat-Haimovitch is one of the first two judges from Ethiopia appointed in Israel (along with Esther Tafta-Gerdi).
Personal life
Svhat-Haimovitch was born in 1967 in the village of Mawari near the city of Gondar in the state of Amhara in northern Ethiopia. Her name, Adenko in Amharic means "praise." She is the fourth daughter of Sarah and Taga Sabhat's six children. She has more siblings from her father's other marriage. When she was eight, she immigrated to Israel via Sudan as part of Beta Israel with her family. After walking on foot to Sudan, her family arrived in Israel on a secret flight as part of Operation Moses. Upon arriving in Israel, her family settled in the Ramot Alon neighborhood of Jerusalem. Svhat-Haimovitch's father worked in a printing house, and her mother worked as a cleaner.
In 2013, she married musician Yotam Haimovich. Haimovich's brother is Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court Judge Rami Haimovich.
Education
As the daughter of a traditional Jewish family, Svhat-Haimovitch attended a state-religious school. In high school she moved to Kfar Batya boarding school but after two years, e returned home and completed her studies at Rene Kassen High School, graduating in 1995. Svhat-Haimovitch enrolled in the Israel Defense Forces reserve, and began studying for a bachelor's degree in law at Tel Aviv University, completing her degree in 2000. In 2002 Svhat-Haimovitch passed the Bar Exam and was certified by the Israeli Bar Association. In 2008, she graduated with a Masters in Law through a joint program between Tel-Aviv University and Northwestern University.
Career
In 2000, Svhat-Haimovitch enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). During her service in the IDF, she worked as a legal advisor, prosecutor, and defense attorney in the Military Prosecutor's Office. In 2006, she graduated from military service as an outstanding officer with the rank of Captain.
Afterwards, Svhat-Haimovitch continued to work with a colleague from the army, Adv. Ilan Katz, joining the private law firm he founded representing suspects and criminal defendants. In many cases she represented the accused as part of an agreement with the Public Defender's Office.
Public Defender Michal Urakbi of the Public Defender's Office described Svhat-Haimovitch: "Her judicial representation is not aggressive, but filled with values, and she knows how to stand up for herself ... she has succeeded in bridging the cultural differences that characterize the immigrant population."Svhat-Haimovitch volunteered as a lawyer for the Takaba Association, an organization dedicated to promote Ethiopians' rights in Israel, and fight against discrimination and racism directed at members of the community. In 2013, Svhat-Haimovtich served as a member of its board of directors.
Ethiopian protests
On April 26, 2015, Israeli police officers assaulted and arrested an Ethiopian-Israeli, Damas Pakada, while he was wearing his IDF uniform. A video of the incident went viral, sparking Ethiopian-Israeli protests against discrimination and alleged police brutality against the Ethiopian community. During the protests, Svhat-Haimovitch represented many of the protesters arrested by the police.
After the protests, Svhat-Haimovitch was selected as an Ethiopian representative in discussions with the Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino. Svhat-Haimovtich sent Danino a letter of appreciation following the meeting, which was criticized by social activists as contradicting the purpose of the meeting.
Following the protests, in July 2016, an Israeli State Panel issued a report on Eradicating Racism against Ethiopian-Israelis. The 170-page report contained 53 recommendations, including equipping police with body cameras, limiting their use of stun guns in areas with many Ethiopian residents, and combating racism in government ministries.
Judicial appointment
In September 2016, two months after the report was issued, the Judicial Selection Committee announced that among 26 appointees, for the first time in Israel's history, two Ethiopian lawyers were elected judges - Svhat-Haimovitch and Esther Tafta-Gerdi. In September 2016, Svhat-Haimovitch was selected by the Central District Magistrate's Judicial Selection Committee. There was some criticism following Svhat-Haimovitch's appointment due to her support of former Police Commissioner Danino.

Theodor Alexander Viktor Ernst von Schoeler was a Prussian General of the Infantry who served in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War through several battles.
Biography
Origin
Alexander was a son of the later Prussian general and Director of the General War Department Moritz von Schoeler and his wife Eleonore, née Burgräfin and Countess von Dohna-Lauck. His paternal grandfather was Major General Johann Friedrich Wilhelm von Schoeler, and his maternal grandfather was Major General August Burggraf und Graf zu Dohna-Lauck. His uncle, Friedrich von Schoeler, was a Prussian general and Knight of the Order of the Black Eagle.
Military career
Schoeler joined the Prussian Army on April 28, 1824. He first served in the 2nd Guards Grenadier Regiment and was promoted to Second Lieutenant in mid-November 1825. From mid-February 1830 to early April 1833 he was battalion and then regimental adjutant until the end of June 1836. In 1838 he was appointed to the General Command of the Guard Corps. Schoeler rose to the rank of first lieutenant in April 1841 and became a company commander on April 13, 1847, when he was promoted to captain. Schoeler took part in the suppression of the German revolutions of 1848–1849 and later in the year, during the First Schleswig War, in the Battle of Schleswig. During his secondment as adjutant at the High Command in the Marches, Schoeler was listed as a supernumerary officer of his regiment at the end of November 1849 and two years later, with the status of à la suite, became an adjutant at the General Command of the III Army Corps. As a major on mid-June 1853, he was transferred to the staff of the Guards Infantry Command. At the end of December 1856, he was briefly sent to the General Command of the VI Corps. After his promotion to lieutenant colonel, he was appointed chief of staff of the VI Corps on May 30, 1857. He was promoted to colonel at the end of May 1859 and was put in charge of the 12th Combined Infantry Regiment on May 5, 1860; the unit becoming the 52nd Infantry Regiment in early July. Schoeler was regimental commander until December 19, 1863. Then he was appointed à la suite commander of the 31st Infantry Brigade and promoted to Major General at the end of June 1864. In the Austro-Prussian War, Schoeler and his brigade moved into Bohemia in 1866 as part of the Army of the Elbe under command of General of the Infantry Eberhard Herwarth von Bittenfeld. Schoeler distinguished himself in the battles at Hühnerwasser and Königgrätz. On Bittenfeld's recommendation, he was awarded the order Pour le Mérite by King William I of Prussia. During the final phase of the campaign in Bohemia, Schoeler took over leadership of the 8th Infantry Division from General August Wilhelm von Horn on July 21, 1866, and was promoted to Lieutenant General at the end of September 1866.

After the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War, Schoeler's division was assembled as part of the IV Army Corps in the Mannheim area by July 29, 1870, and marched into France via Tours. After the pursuit of the retreating French, the 8th Division met the enemy again on August 30 at the Battle of Beaumont. On September 1, Schoeler's troops also participated in the Battle of Sedan where they were able to recapture the lost suburb of Balan.

The Golden Age of the Piano refers to a "golden age" extending variously from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century during which composing and performance on the piano achieved notable heights; or to the decades between roughly 1890 and 1920, in which pianos were manufactured and sold in great quantities, particularly in the United States.
Among the artists associated with the Golden Age of the Piano are Vladimir Horowitz, Glenn Gould, Wanda Landowska, Myra Hess, Arthur Rubinstein, Alexander Brailowsky, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Josef Hofmann, Percy Grainger, Alfred Cortot, and Van Cliburn.
The term is also used to describe the decades in which the piano became ubiquitous in U.S. middle-class households and certain types of public spaces. "The end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century has often been called 'The Golden Age of the Piano,'” Randy Rowoldt wrote in the Small Home Gazette in 2018. "In an age before radio and television, and in a time when only the wealthy could afford a record player, the piano was a sign that a family had achieved middle-class respectability." Hundreds of piano manufacturers were founded between 1880 and 1910 to serve the burgeoning market. In 1892, for example, the country's total estimated production was 100,000 pianos, most made by manufacturers in and around New York City and Boston.
The arrival of the phonograph in the early 1900s and commercial radio in the 1920s exerted steadily growing pressure on piano makers. Total U.S. sales for the industry peaked around 300,000 in 1924, representing roughly $100 million in revenue
($ today) and decreased steadily thereafter. In the final year of the Roaring Twenties, piano makers sold an estimated 115,000 instruments.
