Kaplunov Ilya Makarovich (July 8, 1918, Chapushka, Saratov Governorate - December 18, 1942, Verkhnekumsky farm, Stalingrad Oblast) was a sailor, gunner of an anti-tank rifle of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 98th Infantry Division of the 2nd Guards Army of the Stalingrad Front, Hero of the Soviet Union.
Biography
Born on July 8, 1918, in the village of Chapushka, Balashovsky district, Saratov Governorate (now the Arkadaksky District of the Saratov Oblast).
He graduated from the 6 classes of the Arkadak secondary school. He worked as a laborer at an oil refinery, as a mechanic and a hammerer at an agricultural school.
In 1938 he was drafted into the armed forces, served in naval aviation in the Pacific Fleet.
In October 1941, with a group of sailors, he arrived at the front, where he took part in battles as part of the 2nd Guards Army.
In mid-December 1942, the 98th division blocked the path of the advancing tank army of Field Marshal von Manstein. The regiment, in which Ilya Kaplunov served, held the defense near the Verkhnekumsky farm. On December 18, in the area of height 137.2, the guards repulsed four enemy attacks with heavy losses for him. In the afternoon, the Nazis, on a narrow sector of the front, brought into battle their last reserve - the 17th Panzer Division and the 65th Panzer Battalion.
All the soldiers of the company were killed in the battle, Kaplunov was left alone against five tanks. With two shots, he knocked out two enemy PzKpfw III tanks. Then he destroyed two other tanks that were trying to go around the position on the left. The fifth tank ran into the Kaplunov trench, when it drove on, the sailor threw a grenade at the engine compartment, destroying the tank. Soon four more tanks drove out from behind the ravine. Kaplunov knocked out three of them, however, he himself received two severe wounds: in the leg and in the arm. Seriously wounded and bleeding, Kaplunov also knocked out the ninth tank. According to other sources, Kaplunov knocked out five tanks with fire from anti-tank rifles and grenades, after which his left leg was torn off. Kaplunov, while bleeding, knocked out three more tanks, but his left arm was torn off. Kaplunov knocked out another ninth tank with grenades. Kaplunov was picked up by paramedics and the next day, December 20, 1942, he died in the hospital without regaining consciousness. A few days later, a bloody battle near the Aksai and Esaulovsky rivers ended in victory for the Soviet troops.
By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 26, 1943, for the destruction of 9 enemy tanks in the battle near the Verkhnekumsky farm and the valor and courage shown at the same time, Kaplunov Ilya Makarovich was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Kaplunov's body was buried in a mass grave near the Nizhnekumsky farm in the Oktyabrsky district of the Volgograd Oblast.
Memory
At the beginning of 1943, the Komsomol members of the Arkadak region raised money for the construction of the tank named «Ilya Kaplunov». The tank was handed over to Major V. M. Muravlev, a tanker from Saratov, who led him from the banks of the Volga to Berlin.
Streets in Vladivostok, the Romanovka-2 garrison (Primorsky Territory), Volgograd, Arkadak and in the village of Oktyabrsky are named after Ilya Kaplunov. His name is carved on the monument to the heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad in Volgograd.
By order of the troops of the Southern Front dated May 13, 1943, Ilya Kaplunov was forever enrolled in the lists of the 260th Guards Rifle Regiment of the 86th Guards Rifle Division. Until the end of the 1980s, the regiment was stationed in the city of Florești and was part of the 86th Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the 14th Guards Army of the Odessa Military District.
The bust was installed on the alley of Heroes in front of the headquarters of the 7060th air base of the naval aviation of the Pacific Fleet (military unit 69262) in the Yelizovo garrison of the Kamchatka Krai.
The bust was installed in the garrison Romanovka-2 (Pristan) Primorsky Krai
In 1961, a sculpture of Kaplunov with an anti-tank rifle in his hands was installed over the mass grave where Kaplunov was buried.

Giyath al-Din Muhammad () was second ruler of Emirate of Eretna.
Early reign
He was born to Eretna and Isfahan Khatun of Jalairs as their youngest son. At time of his father's death he was still studying in the madrassah of Konya, but was preferred over his half-brother Jafar by his emirs and declared ruler in 1352 by his vizier and former teacher Khwaja Ali. However, since he was a minor, authority was in hands of warlords. During Mehmed's reign, Beyliks of Canik became more autonomous and Beylik of Dulkadir captured several towns belonged to Eretnids. However, Zeyneddin Karaca Bey himself soon fled to Muhammad, seeking protection from Mamelukes, however Muhammad's emirs turned him over to Egypt, who executed Karaca in 1353. Soon, Muhammad was deposed by his emirs and his half-brother Jafar reigned for a year. Fled to Karamanids, Muhammad was restored to throne thanks to his governor of Ankara Ibn Kurdi in September 1355, forcing Jafar to flee to Egypt.
Later reign
He allied with Dulkadirids again in 1361 and marched on Malatya, which was then governed by Mamelukes. Its governor Esendemir Tazı had to retreat, while Mamluk governor of Damascus Yolbuqa forced sides to retreat with its 24000 strong army. 3 years later Muhammad's former teacher and vizier Khwaja Ali surprisingly rebelled and marched on Kayseri. Muhammad had to flee to Al-Kamil Sha'ban, later returning from Syria and capturing the vizier. Soon after vizier's execution, other emirs led by Hajji Shadgaldi and Hajji Ibrahim conspired to kill him and enthrone his 13-year-old son Ali.

Dario del Bufalo (born 1958) is an Italian art and antique expert, architect, and restorer.
He graduated in 1987 with a degree in architecture from Sapienza University in Rome.
He is the author of Porphyry. Red Imperial Porphyry Power and Religion about the red stone often employed in Roman mosaics.
Del Buffalo gained much notoriety when he rediscovered an antiquity featured in his book, a marble mosaic which had been part of the flooring on one of the Roman Emperor Caligula's pleasure boats, "The Nemi Ships' which were more like buildings than boats and never meant to sail. Following Caligula's assassination in AD 41 the boats were sunk on the orders of the Roman Senate and the Praetorian guard.
Lake Nemi (30 km (19 mi) south of Rome) which the vessels were upon was drained by Benito Mussolini in the 1920s and the ships became visible again. Next a museum was founded and built above the vessels to allow viewing. The museum and the ships were destroyed by fire during military action in World War II. This particular piece which survived went missing in the 1960s. It fell into private hands and was eventually sold by an aristocratic Italian family to New York City antiques dealer Helen Fioratti and her husband Nereo. After Del Bufalo's refinding of the piece which was serving as the top of a coffee table in the Fioratti's apartment it was seized by the New York County District Attorney's Office and then repatriated to Italy.
His daughter is the actress and singer Diana del Bufalo (b. 1990).

East West is the fifth album by English musician Julia Fordham, released in 1997. It was Fordham's final studio album for Virgin Records.
Production
The album was produced by Michael Brook. Members of Jackson Browne's band served as backing musicians.
Judith Owen played piano on "More Than I Can Bear". James Fearnley played accordion on "I Can Tell You Anything".
Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote that most of the musical settings "not only subtly highlight the sheer beauty of Fordham's voice, they quietly dramatize the emotional yearning and vulnerability that shapes the album's songs." The Knoxville News Sentinel declared that "Fordham's rich voice is a marvel ... She conveys a cool British demeanor, but she is affecting and genuine."
The New York Times thought that "amid all the talk about 'girl power' resounding in the media, some grown women continue to make lovely, complicated pop music about the ambiguities of maturity." The Dallas Morning News stated that Fordham's "smoldering soprano and confessional songs simmer in a soulful stew." The Houston Press concluded that "with its tempo locked at a moderate swing and lots of innocuous strumming throughout, it quickly becomes stale."
AllMusic wrote that "Fordham possesses a gorgeous, dusky voice that is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and Alison Moyet."

On 29 July 2005, Richard Whelan was stabbed to death in Islington, London, United Kingdom, by a man who had been mistakenly released from custody that day.
On 18 May 2005, Anthony Joseph was arrested by Merseyside Police for burglary. He was charged and bailed by Liverpool magistrates to live at his Islington, North London address. On 10 June, he was arrested by Surrey Police for abduction and unlawful sex with a 15-year-old girl. He was charged and remanded to Forest Bank Young Offender Institution in Pendlebury, Greater Manchester. He should have been at a hearing in Liverpool in relation to the burglary, but arrangement had not been made for him to attend. The court issues a warrant for his arrest and the hearing is rearranged for 3 August. The abduction and unlawful sex charges are dropped, and he is mistakenly released at 1:45pm on 29 July by Forest Bank staff who were unaware of the burglary case.
At 9:45pm on 29 July 2005, 28-year-old Richard Whelan and his long-term girlfriend boarded a N43 bus on Holloway Road, Islington. They and 20-year-old Joseph, who was under the influence of crack cocaine, had boarded the bus at the same stop, were on the top deck when, very soon after, Joseph threw chips at another female passenger, then at Whelan's girlfriend. After Whelan told Joseph to stop doing that, Joseph stabbed him seven times. Joseph walked off along Holloway Road. Whelan died of his injuries in Whittington Hospital in Archway.
Joseph was tried at the Old Bailey for Whelan's murder twice in 2007. The jury at both trials failed to reach a verdict, so prosecutors accepted his plea of guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He has paranoid schizophrenia and was sentenced to an indefinite term at a mental health unit. In 2008, the Home Office carried out an inquiry into why Forest Bank released Joseph when there was a warrant for his arrest.

The Garob Wind Power Station is an operational wind power plant in South Africa. The power station was developed and is owned by Enel, the Italian manufacturer and distributor of electricity and gas infrastructure, through its subsidiary Enel Green Power of South Africa (EGPRSA). Construction of this wind farm started in April 2019 and achieved commercial operation in December 2021. The energy generated at this wind farm is sold to the South African national electricity utility company Eskom, under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
Location
The power station is located near the former mining town of Copperton, in Siyathemba Local Municipality, in the Karoo Region, in Northern Cape Province. This is approximately , by road, northwest of De Aar, the district headquarters of Pixley ka Seme District Municipality, where the power station is located. Copperton is located about , by road, southwest of Kimberley, the capital city of Northern Cape Province.
Overview
The concession for this wind farm was awarded to Enel in 2015, as part of the fourth round of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), of the Republic of South Africa. Enel signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Eskom.
During construction, the pylons that support the wind turbines were manufactured on-site, out of concrete and cement, instead of metal as is the usual method. This provided business for local suppliers and contractors. Nordex, the European supplier of the wind turbines, operates and maintains the power station on behalf of the owners.
Funding
Funding for this renewable energy infrastructure was sourced from two South African financial houses, namely Absa Group and Nedbank. The total cost of construction is reported to be in excess of €200 million (approx. US$225.7 million).
Other considerations
It is calculated that the wind farm adds 573GWh to the South African national grid every year. This power station saves the country the emission of 600,000 tons of CO2 annually. At the peak of construction an estimated 511 people were employed at the site. This is the 10th renewable power station developed by Enel, under the South African REIPPP program. The list of those power stations, with installed capacity exceeding 800 megawatts, is listed in references 1 and 2 below.

Mario Strikers: Battle League, known in Europe and Australia as Mario Strikers: Battle League Football, is an upcoming association football/soccer video game developed by Next Level Games and Nintendo EPD and published by Nintendo. It is scheduled for a worldwide release on the Nintendo Switch on June 10, 2022. It is the third game in the Mario Strikers series.
Gameplay
Mario Strikers: Battle League is a five versus five association football/soccer video game. The game shies away from realism, in favor of chaotic, over-the-top gameplay. The game maintains the main premise of the sport, where players maneuver players around a field in efforts to pass and shoot a ball into a goal to score points, with the team with the most points at the end of a game winning the game. However, the game takes many liberties with the sport. Aggressive tackles and attacks are completely allowed, though they give the opposing player "items" to use at their disposal. Items often function in the same way as Mario Kart or Mario Tennis - banana peels can be placed on the field and characters will slip on them, while shells can be shot at characters to temporarily knock them over. No "out of bounds" exists on the field, instead, an electric fence is placed around the field, which players can check and knock opposing characters into. Additionally, collecting a glowing orb that appears on the field allows the player to perform a "Hyper Strike" and score a 2-point goal if the move is charged up without interruption.
In the game, the player picks a major Mario franchise character like Mario or Princess Peach - and a team of three other characters to round out the rest of the team. All characters have various strengths and weaknesses, and Battle League additionally allows for the customization of equipment on characters as well, affecting character's stats for things like speed, strength, and pass accuracy.
Up to eight players can play local multiplayer matches, with player using just one Joycon each, allowing for four versus four game, with the computer handling goalkeeping. Online multiplayer is also available, including a "Club Mode" where groups of up to 20 players can create their own game season, with leaderboards tracking scores.
Development
The game was first announced during a Nintendo Direct on February 9, 2022. It is the third entry in the series, and the first new entry in almost 15 years, following a lengthy gap in releases after Super Mario Strikers (2005) for the GameCube and Mario Strikers Charged (2007) for the Wii. The game is being co-developed by Next Level Games and Nintendo EPD.

The Smith & Dove Co. spun flax into thread and twine for products such as shoes, sail cloth and carpets in mills in Andover, Massachusetts, from 1864 until 1927, when the company was sold to Ludlow Manufacturing.
Smith & Dove was notable for the philanthropy of two of its founders, brothers Peter and John Smith. The latter was an ardent abolitionist and member of the group who started Andover’s Free Christian Church on a principle of “biblical justice” and freedom for all people.
Early History (pre-1864)
John Smith emigrated to the United States via Halifax, Nova Scotia, arriving on Dec. 15, 1816. He worked as a machinist in Watertown and Medway before starting his own business, John Smith & Co., in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1822.
John Smith and his early business partners, Joseph Faulkner and Warren Richardson, moved their company to Andover in 1824. They built a mill on the east side of the Shawsheen River where they made machinery for the cotton industry. Faulkner and Richardson died in 1829.
In 1835, Smith went into business with his brother, Peter, and his brother’s friend, John Dove. Peter Smith and John Dove had met in Brechin, Scotland, where both worked in flax mills for John Dove’s father. John Smith convinced his brother to follow him to the U.S.
The first mill owned by brothers John and Peter Smith and their business partner, John Dove, was in Andover’s Frye Village (later Shawsheen Village). In 1843 the company moved up the Shawsheen River into the former Abbot Mill.
Incorporation as Smith & Dove Co.
The business incorporated as Smith & Dove Co. in 1864. The company supplied linen thread for boots worn by Union soldiers during the Civil War.
The company's offices were located opposite the Boston & Maine Railroad tracks from the Andover train depot.
The company recruited workers from the founders’ hometown of Brechin, offering low-cost housing and recreation, and by 1896 employed 300 people. The mill complex was surrounded by a vibrant village that included multi-family tenements, athletic fields, small stores and a village school. Most workers walked to their jobs.
Peter Smith died July 6, 1880, at age 77. John Smith died Feb. 25, 1886, at age 89. Both are buried in West Parish Garden Cemetery in Andover.
Peter Dove Smith, son of founder Peter Smith, later served as president of the company and was also an Andover selectman. The younger Smith was also a Civil War veteran, having enlisted in the Andover Company in 1861, at age 19. He was eventually promoted to 2nd Lt., Company G, 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, and lost the two middle fingers of his left hand during the Battle of Spottsylvania. After the war, the younger Smith spent 10 years in Gloucester, where he owned a fish wholesaler, and returned to Andover following his father’s death in 1880.
Peter Dove Smith died Jan. 16, 1911, at age 69. He is also buried in West Parish Garden Cemetery.
The company created a pension for its employees in 1912.
Later History
In 1926, the company reported owning more than 100 houses, charging employees 25 percent less for rent than it charged non-employees. In addition, the company maintained "The Hillside," a boarding house for women workers, which was staffed by a housekeeper and a nurse.
The company promoted itself as “the first factory in America for the manufacture of linen threads.” A 1926 company brochure promoted founders John and Peter Smith, and John Dove, as “founders of the first flax mill in America.” The company at the time made flaxen thread, yarn and twine.
In 1926, the company reported that "changes in the firm name and in the organization have been few" in the 90 years since John Smith went into business with his brother, Peter, and John Dove, and that the original families were "still largely represented in the ownership and management."
Smith & Dove was sold to Ludlow Manufacturing in 1927, and the mills were closed the following year.
The complex was later redeveloped as an office and business complex and is now known as Dundee Park.

Henry Foxall (May 24, 1758 – December 11, 1823) was an English-born American politician, industrialist and Methodist preacher. He is considered the first United States defense contractor because he supplied the U.S. Navy during the Quasi War, First Barbary War and the War of 1812 with cannons and cannonballs from his iron foundries in Philadelphia, Georgetown (then part of Maryland) and Richmond, Virginia. He also served as Mayor of Georgetown and helped found the Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C.
Early life
Henry Foxall was born on May 24, 1758, in Monmouth Forge in South Wales to Mary (née Hays) and Thomas Foxall. After his birth, the family returned to the British West Midlands. The family became Methodist through their friendship with the Asbury family. Foxall would remain friends with Francis Asbury for the rest of his life. His father was an ironworker who served as foreman at the Old Forge in West Bromwich for a time.
Career
Ironworking
Foxall learned the iron foundry trade in England and Ireland. He apprenticed at Funtley Forge, near HMNB Portsmouth. He was employed by Henry Cort for seven years and learned proficiency in the use of coke to fire the iron furnace and the puddling and rolling techniques pioneered by Cort. He then went to Ireland, having been recruited by Thomas O'Reilly, in the late 1780s and worked at the Arigna Iron Works in Arigna. By November 1791, Foxall converted to Methodism. Around June 1795, after the Catholic Defenders attacked Arigna, Foxall and his family fled to Annandale and later took the ship Joseph to New York City.
By October 1795, they had settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While in Philadelphia, he set up and purchased the Eagle Iron Works in partnership with Robert Morris. Their partnership dissolved in 1800. While in Philadelphia, he was able to supply the U.S. Navy with cannons and cannonballs during the First Barbary War and the Quasi War. This act makes him considered the first United States defense contractor.
In 1800, Foxall moved to Georgetown and built the Columbia Foundry in 1801. He also set up a foundry in Richmond, Virginia in 1809. Both foundries produced cannons for the federal government. It was estimated that during his time leading the Columbia Foundry, approximately 300 heavy guns and 30,000 shots were produced in a year. He supplied armaments during the War of 1812 and his foundry was targeted by British forces, but the attack never happened due to weather and rumors of additional American forces. Foxall's business was also a supplier of cast iron to Thomas Jefferson and the U.S. Capitol building. He retired in 1815 and sold his foundries.
Other endeavors
Foxall served as Mayor of Georgetown. He also was the director of a bank in Georgetown, trustee of the Georgetown Importing and Exporting Company and the owner of a bakery.
Foxall was actively involved in the Methodist church. He worked as a lay preacher, but was ordained officially as an elder in 1814. Foxall donated in 1814 to have the Foundry Chapel (later the Foundry United Methodist Church) built. It was the first Methodist congregation organized in the city of Washington west of the Capitol. The church was dedicated on September 10, 1815, and named in commemoration of John Wesley's Foundry Chapel in London.
Personal life
Foxall married three times. Foxall married Ann Harward of Stourport, Worcestershire in 1780 while in Ireland, and together they had five children, three that died at a young age, John (1786–1809) and Mary Ann (1791–1856). His wife died in the 1798 Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic. He married Margaret English Smith, and she died in 1816. He later married his third wife, Catherine Holland, in November 1816.
Foxall became a naturalized citizen after moving to Georgetown in 1803. Foxall owned a house on 34th Street, the previous residence of General James Lingan. He also owned a country house on Spring Hill in Georgetown. He also built a house for his daughter, Mary McKenney, at 3123 Dumbarton Avenue, later called the Foxall-McKenney House.
Later life and death
After retiring in 1815, he returned to England on two occasions, once in 1815 and another time in 1823. On December 11, 1823, he died while visiting England.
Legacy
The Foxhall Village neighborhood in Washington, D.C. is named after Foxall.

Abel Alonso Sopelana (born 1935) is a Spanish-Chilean entrepreneur, shoemaker and former leader of the Chilean football who served as president of the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (ANFP) and Unión Española. He was born in Spain, but his family exiled with him from Francisco Franco’s dictatorship.
Alonso twice reached the presidency of the ANFP. In his first period, the Chilean football team qualified to the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, and during its presidency, Chile held the 1991 Copa América.
Biography
Born in Bilbao, his father –a communist mayor– was a prisoner for seven years under Franco's dictatorship. After his release from prison, his family escaped the country, and in 1951 they settled in Santiago de Chile, dedicating themselves to the manufacture of shoes, arriving to turn its workshop into one of the most important shoe factories in Chile.
Simultaneously, he joined the football club Unión Española, becoming president of it. Under his successful management, the team won the 1973, 1975 and 1977 Primera División de Chile tournaments. Similarly, under Alonso, Unión was runner-up in the 1975 Copa Libertadores.

Hélène Thouy (; born 23 December 1983) is a French lawyer who co-founded the Animalist Party (French: Parti animaliste).
She is vying for a place on the 2022 French presidential election ballot.
Early life and career
After taking her oath as a lawyer, Thouy enrolled at the bar of Bordeaux.
Since 2010, she has been serving as a lawyer of the French animal rights organization L214 that documents and covers the conditions of livestock farming, fishing, hunting, animals' transportation and slaughter.
Thouy co-presides the Animalist Party she co-founded in 2016.
Political campaigns
2017 French legislative election
Thouy took part in the 2017 French legislative election and won 0.96 percent of the votes in the Gironde's 2nd constituency.
2019 European parliament election
Thouy was head of the Animalist Party's list in the 2019 European Parliament election in France and won 2.16 percent of the votes.
When asked about animal rights after the outcomes, French President Emmanuel Macron agreed that "it is a cause which is important for our citizens, in particular young people, but not only them, because we have all come to realize we live among the living". Thouy declared that "it is great to talk about it, and make promises, but now we need concrete measures".
2022 French presidential election
In July 2021, Thouy announced her candidacy in the 2022 French presidential election, declaring that "to be French is to be audacious. Believe me, you must be audacious to launch a political party which fights for beings that can never vote for it". Her objective is to defend animal rights and to make it a major theme of the next presidency.
She still needs 500 signatures from elected officials to take part in the presidential run.

The Besançon courthouse attack was a terrorist event, targeted the Besançon courthouse on May 9, 1970.
It was perpetrated with a bomb by two men from OAS and UDR movements, in a context of resurgence of far-right violence in France.
Attack
On May 9, 1970, at 10:30 pm, the place du Huit-Septembre (September 8 Square) is shaken by an explosion. The Besançon courthouse was just attacked, with a bomb containing explosives and scrap metal. Damage is impressive but limited : only the porch, the bay windows, and the salle des pas perdus (hall of lost steps), partly classifieds, are seriously affected. A couple and their baby narrowly escaped of the impact, but no one injuries are deplored. The mayor, the socialist Jean Minjoz, immediately condemns this act, while the investigation begins. Witnesses say they saw a man throw a device through, before escaping in a car's of an accomplice. At first the attack was attributed to the left, but two individuals were finally arrested in May 14 with the number of their a registration plate. They was former soldiers, workers at the Rhodiaceta factory, one was a member of the OAS and the other a member of the UDR, acting for defiant motives possibly related to power through the SAC. The suspects admit the facts, while weapons and ammunition are found.

Major-General John Talbot Wentworth Reeve CB, CBE, DSO (19 April 1891 − 25 June 1983) was a British Army who served in both of the world wars.
Military career
Born in Lincolnshire and educated at Eton College, Reeve attended and later graduated from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, from where he was commissioned into the Rifle Brigade (The Prince Consort's Own) in 1911.
He served throughout the First World War, mainly on the Western Front in France and Belgium, and, after being promoted to captain in 1915, he ended the war having been mentioned in dispatches and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1919, the same year in which he married.
The interwar period saw Reeve remain in the army and transferred to the Royal Artillery, which was followed by attendance and subsequent graduation from the Staff College, Camberley from 1924 to 1925, where Noel Irwin, Douglas Graham, Vyvyan Pope and Thomas Riddell-Webster were among his many fellow students that year who ultimately became general officers. Following this, he served from 1926 to 1930 as a staff officer at the War Office in London before transferring from the Royal Artillery back to the Rifle Brigade, where he commanded the regiment's 1st Battalion from 1936 to 1938. 1938 saw him promoted to the temporary rank of brigadier and placed in command of the Hong Kong Infantry Brigade in Hong Kong, China. He held this position until late 1941, two years after the outbreak of the Second World War.
Returning to the United Kingdom, he became Deputy Adjutant General with Home Forces from 1942 to 1943, the same year in which, on 15 May, he was promoted to the acting rank of major-general. He then became commander of Sussex District until 1944 when he was made Deputy Adjutant General with Middle East Command, then commanded by General Sir Bernard Paget. He held this post until 1946 when, after over thirty-five years of military service, he retired from the army and was also made a Companion of the Order of the Bath.
His only son having been killed in action in the North African campaign in 1942, his wife also died soon after Reeve's retirement, in 1949. He married again the following year and retired to Bury St Edmonds in Suffolk, where he spent the rest of his life until his death on 25 June 1983, at the age of 92.

In linear algebra and ring theory, the Howell normal form is a generalization of the row echelon form of a matrix over , the ring of integers modulo N. The row spans of two matrices agree if, and only if, their Howell normal forms agree. The Howell normal form generalizes the Hermite normal form, which is defined for matrices over .
Definition
A matrix over is called to be in row echelon form if it has the following properties:
Let be the number of non-zero rows of . Then the topmost rows of the matrix are non-zero,
For , let be the index of the leftmost non-zero element in the row . Then .
With elementary transforms, each matrix in the row echelon form can be reduced in a way that the following properties will hold:
For each , the leading element is a divisor of ,
For each it holds that .
If adheres to both above properties, it is said to be in reduced row echelon form.
If adheres to the following additional property, it is said to be in Howell normal form ( denotes the row span of ):
let be an element of the row span of , such that for each . Then , where is the matrix obtained of rows from -th to -th of the matrix .
Properties
For every matrix over , there is a unique matrix in the Howell normal form, such that . The matrix can be obtained from matrix via a sequence of elementary transforms.
From this follows that for two matrices over , their row spans are equal if and only if their Howell normal forms are equal.
For example, the matrices
have the same Howell normal form over :
Note that and are two distinct matrices in the row echelon form, which would mean that their span is the same if they're treated as matrices over some field. Moreover, they're in the Hermite normal form, meaning that their row span is also the same if they're considered over , the ring of integers.
However, is not a field and over general rings it is sometimes possible to nullify a row's pivot by multiplying the row with a scalar without nullifying the whole row. In this particular case,
It implies , which wouldn't be true over any field or over integers.

Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (1500–1558), the first ruler of an empire where the sun never set, has traditionally attracted considerable scholarly attention and also raises controversies among historians regarding his character, his rule and achievements (or failures) in the countries in his personal empire, as well as various social movements and wider problems associated with his reign. Historically seen as a great ruler by some or a tragic failure of a politician by others, he is generally seen by modern historians as an overall capable politician, a brave and effective military leader, although his political vision and financial management tend to be questioned.
Commenting on the events that commemorated the 500th anniversary (in 2000) of his birth, historian C. Scott Dixon writes that, "Born in Ghent on 24 February 1500, the first son of Philip of Habsburg and Juana of Castile, Charles would live to acquire the largest empire of the age. No other sovereign in Europe reigned over so many people or ruled over so many lands. By the year 1525, Charles V could lay claim to 72 separate titles, among them 27 kingdoms. 13 duchies, 22 counties. and nine seigniories. He cast a shadow long enough to raise the concerns of the papal theologians, for here was a secular ruler who really could give living form to the medieval idea of a universal monarchy. It is no exaggeration to say that the political destiny of Europe in the sixteenth century was often in the hands of this Habsburg emperor, and it is thus little wonder that the anniversary of his birth has been commemorated in a series of public exhibitions, festivals, concerts, displays of art, learned conferences, and numerous publications."
Historiography
Charles V's reputation among historians is controversial.
In his lifetime, the emperor had tried to influence his future image in several ways. His memoirs, dictated in 1550 on his way from Cologne to Speyer, is now considered unreliable. The emperor told his son Philip II about this book that any offence would be due to honest mistakes rather than intent. He also had several publicists, chief among them was the Grand Chancellor himself, Mercurino di Gattinara.
Christian R.Kemp notes that biographical materials between 1610 and 1800 tend to be political or religious propaganda, either "mythical hero worship or litanies of hatred".
The current modern standard biography is the book Karl V. of Karl Brandi (which focuses more on Germany), translated in to English by C.V.Westwood (1939) as The Emperor Charles V. Álvarez's 1975 work Charles V: Elected Emperor and Hereditary Ruler, on the other hand, focuses on Spain at the expense of his other lands, but according to Maltby, is an effective supplement to Brandi's work in this way. Peter Rassow's Karl V: der letzte Kaiser des Mittelalters (1957), (which is also German-centered ), continues with Brandi's view that Charles was a ruler with a medieval character (which is challenged by recent scholarship). Alfred Kohler praises Brandi's work as an extraordinary and valuable work even for modern readers, that clarifies the full severity of the conflict with France and the central importance of the European policy for the emperor, but thinks that he focuses too much on the dynastic side, the supposed peaceful intentions and the "Tu felix Austria nube" idea. Kohler remarks that Rassow makes a valuable contribution in exploring the idea of the emperor and Empire, and the question of harmonizing dynastic power and the unity of the Empire through the emperor.
From a Belgian perspective, Charles de Terlinden's 1965 Charles Quint, empereur des deux mondes hails Charles V as "an illustrious pioneer of the idea of Europe [ ... ], a great European." Peter Burke remarks that Charles's greatest posthumous successes are in the Low Countries, especially Belgium. Dixon does not disagree nor agree with him, but notes that the celebrations in Flanders in 2000 do strongly support Burke's point. Dixon points out some criticisms too and notes that political conditions of every era have produced some conflicting views. Dixon opines that there is not a structural difference between the Dutch and the Belgians, and Dutch historians have defended his importance in the unification process.
Generally works by British and American historians have been noted as syntheses with little original interpretation, but Boone writes that some are good materials that introduce non-professionals to the matter. A much praised work by an Anglo historian is Sir Geoffrey Elton's 1963 Reformation Europe 1517-1559, which describes Charles as having a deep sense of duty, loyal to his principles (unusual for a prince of his time), intelligent, capable in making viable a government that had to administer scattered lands and even wage wars by proxy and from a distance, but lacked "the depth of insight which might have made him a truly great king" – this problem showed itself the most in German matters. Various modern historians attest to Charles's sense of honour and principles (although probably in a legal sense more than in a moral sense, and not in financial matters) but points out his limited political vision. James D. Tracy's Emperor Charles V, Impresario of War: Campaign Strategy, International Finance, and Domestic Politics examines the balance between military strategy, policy and financial matters in Charles's reign. Regarding the model of monarchia universalis, "Paradoxically, it may be the greatest significance of Charles's reign for European history lies not in what he did but in what he did not do: he either failed to achieve or did not even attempt the monarchia Gattinara had dreamed of". Kohler praises Tracy highly on the matter of campaigns and their financing.
Henry Kamen notes that Tracy "relates the emperor's military role in Spain to what he did in the rest of his dominions, and gives the best overall survey of imperial policy".
Historian Rebecca Ard Boone comments on the historiography of Charles V as the following:
The figure of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (b. 1500–d. 1558), looms large over a wide swath of human experience in the 16th century. His empire impacted the direction of history in the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. The military, diplomatic, and dynastic force of his empire weighed on cultural movements that included the Reformation, Renaissance, print revolution, witch trials, global trade, and colonization. The interplay of his narrow and shortsighted vision on one side and his military courage, administrative acumen, and devotion to duty as he understood it on the other has intrigued historians for nearly five hundred years. Every generation has found him relevant, but for different reasons. By all accounts he was talented in language acquisition. He also had the energy, intellect, and desire to understand the minutia of administrative and diplomatic business. His presence on the battlefield and documented courage helped him maintain the loyalty of his subjects. In short, he seems to have been a “good enough” emperor. Although he did not maintain political or religious unity in his empire, he defended the lands he inherited and maintained them under his family’s rule. His publicists devised an imperial program focused on his personal power as a ruler chosen by God to defend Christianity from internal and external forces of evil. The contemporary shift toward authoritarian rule in many countries today has given this program new relevance.
Depictions in legends and arts
References to Charles V include a large number of legends and folk tales; literary renderings of historical events connected to Charles's life and romantic adventures, his relationship to Flanders, and his abdication; and products marketed in his name. The 400th anniversary of his death, celebrated in 1958 in Francoist Spain, brought together the local national catholic intelligentsia and a number of European (Catholic) conservative figures, underpinning an imperial nostalgia for Charles V's Europe and the Universitas Christiana, also propelling a peculiar brand of europeanism.
Legends and anecdotes
According to Vasari, when being painted by Titian, Charles V noticed that the painter dropped his brush. Charles picked it up for him and told him, while Titian demurred, that "Titian is worthy to be served by Caesar."
This anecdote has inspired works such as paintings by Pietro Antonio Novelli (1729-1804) and Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury (1797–1890).
A legend originating from the peasantry in Hesse tells that after a victorious battle, a rock opens and swallows Charles V and his army. The emperor sleeps inside the mountain. Every seven years, the emperor and his army issue forth in a Wild Chase which causes a storm and the neighing of horses will be heard. The spirit procession then returns to the mountain. The legend is connected to the "Barbarossa sleeping in the mountain" and other similar legends.
The Faust legend: The image of Charles V plays a role in the development of this legend. The early versions of the legend usually involve Maximilian (Charles's paternal grandfather), Mary of Burgundy (Charles's paternal grandmother) and the humanist Johannes Trithemius (1462–1516). Trithemius supposedly conjured the spirit of the deceased Mary (in certain versions also with ancient heroes) for Maximilian. In the versions (beginning with a 1587 anonymous account) that involve Charles, the emperor wanted to see Alexander, ancient heroes and Alexander's wife (or concubine) who had a birthmark that Charles had heard about. While the early versions highlight the love and human weakness that are exploited, the latter is propaganda that portrays the emperor as ambitious and glory-hungry instead. The Charles versions influence Marlower's Doctor Faustus, mentioned below.
Tapestries
Larry Silver notes that while Maximilian, Charles's grandfather, preferred woodcuts (as this medium was cheap) for "portable political claims", Charles V combined luxury and mobility in the form of tapestries, which were often commissioned by relatives and prominent subjects rather than the emperor himself.
[[c:File:Arrival of the statue of Notre-Dame to Brussels, from the tenture of Notre-Dame du Sablon, 1518, wool and silk - Cinquantenaire Museum - Brussels, Belgium - DSC08669.jpg|Arrival of the statue of Notre-Dame to Brussels]], from the tenture of Notre-Dame du Sablon, design attributed to Bernaert van Orley, 1518, wool and silk (Cinquantenaire Museum - Brussels, Belgium) features Charles and his brother Ferdinand as litter carriers. The kneeling figure wearing a crown on the left is Philip the Fair. Silver remarks that, "Compared with earlier Flemish tapestries, his weavings provided heightened suggestions of depth and also inserted Italianate motifs within the border and frame decorations."
The Nassau Genealogy (ca. 1529–31, now destroyed but designs survive), commissioned by the Nassau family "pairs male and female equestrian figures as in the Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen woodcut cavalcade of the counts of Holland, a recent suite (1518) that culminated with Maximilian, Mary of Burgundy, Philip the Fair, and Charles V".The Battle of Pavia, woven in seven pieces, in the Netherlands, from designs by Bernaert van Orley, and presented to Charles V in 1531, commemorate the 1527 Battle of Pavia.
The Conquest of Tunis, twelve-parted. circa 1550–54, was designed by Jan Vermeyen, with the help of Pieter Coecke van Aelst and woven in the workshop of Willem de Pannemaker in Brussels. According to Silver, this is "the most encompassing of all tapestry cycles for Charles V" and "his vast commemoration of his updated version of the crusade against Islam, specifically against its naval forces". He also remarks, "The Conquest of Tunis surpasses even The Battle of Pavia in its maplike specificity and full documentation of the emperor’s crusading Mediterranean campaign."
Music
The papal composer Constanzo Festa composed Te Deum laudanus which was sang when Charles entered the Church of San Antonio during his 1530 coronation.
Jacquet of Mantua composed Repleatur os meum for Charles's coronation in 1530.
Charles's motto "Plus ultra" appeared as a textual motto in several musical works produced during Charles's reign. Ferer lists these works as the following: "They include two anonymous chansons, a mass entitled Missa Plus oultre by Johannes Lupi, a chanson and intabulation for two lutes by Nicolas Gombert, and a lost chanson by Costanzo Festa. An anonymous setting of the motto, Plus oultre pretens parvenir, was most likely composed near the beginning of Charles’s reign. Its text affirms his vision
of expanding his realm and advancing the faith, as well as his resolve to establish a universal empire.[...] Plus oultre prefens parvenir is extant in VienNB 9814, a manuscript probably copied between 1519 and 1525 and part ofthe Alamire Netherlands court complex."
Cristóbal de Morales's five part mass "Missa super l'homme armé" was likely composed for the marriage between Charles and Isabella, "reflects in the original motet text the kind of strength with which Catholic Charles was arming himself against Protestants".
The monumental motet Virgo Prudentissima, originally composed for Maximilian I and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was rewritten by Hans Ott to be rededicated to Christ as Christus filius Dei (all Marian references were replaced) and Maximilian was replaced with his grandson, around 1537–1538.
Carl Loewe (1796–1869) wrote four historical ballads about Charles V.
Public monuments
In his lifetime, artists usually accompany him in his expeditions. These artists tended to depict him as a Roman emperor (a "calculated feat", according to Sacheverell Sitwell) and this continued after his death. The monument in Palermo is a notable example.
The Charles V Monument in Palermo was erected in 1631 and depicts him triumphant following the Conquest of Tunis.
Among other posthumous depictions, there are statues of Charles on the facade of the City Hall in Ghent and the Royal Palace of Caserta. The monument to Charles in Vrijdagmarkt was dedicated by Albert and Isabella in 1600.
In the nineteenth century, as governments erected statues of famous rulers and heroes to bolster patriotic feelings, there was renewed interest in Charles V. As his physical attributes were not suitable to depict embodiment of kingship, textbooks tended to present him as embodiment of devotion to duty, despite his physical frailty and suffering. Maria Theresa selected Charles V, Charlemagne together with other Habsburg patrons of the arts like Charles VI, Rudolf I to be included in a group of monument in Vienna to glorify her reign and solidify Austria's status as the inheritor of Carolingian dynasty.
A statue of Charles, donated by the city of Toledo, was erected in 1966 in the Prinsenhof in Ghent where he was born.
An imperial resolution of Franz Joseph I of Austria, dated February 28, 1863, included Charles V in the list of the "most famous Austrian rulers and generals worthy of everlasting emulation" and honored him with a life-size statue, made by the Bohemian sculptor Emanuel Max Ritter von Wachstein, located at the Museum of Military History, Vienna.
The Plaza del Emperador Carlos V is a square in the city of Madrid that is named after Charles V.
Paintings
Other than Titian, whom he compared to Apelles, other notable court painters of Charles V included Bernaert van Orley and Pieter Coecke.
Titian created several paintings of the emperor. The famous Equestrian Portrait of Charles V (1548) has inspired later royal painters, such as Anthony Van Dyck's Equestrian Portrait of Charles I. This portrait is considered the "first painted or sculpted equestrian monument sin antiquity dedicated to a living individual." The painting implied the image of a statue of Marcus Aurelius, who Charles often incorporated into his iconography (the royal historiographer Guevara wrote Relox de principes in imitation of Marcus's Meditations - an effort considered by Springer as central to this association).
In 1530, following Charles's coronation in Bologna, Parmigianino painted Carlo V come dominatore del mondo (Charles V as ruler of the world). The painting reflects Charles's self-identification as Hercules. Later, Rubens produced a painting based on this with the same name. The imperial pose would later be used by Rubens for Marie de' Medici (in the guise of Justitia) in his Marie de' Medici cycle.
In 1878, Hans Makart painted The Entrance of Emperor Charles V into Antwerp in 1520. The scantily dressed women surrounding the emperor were lent the features of famous Viennese salon beauties.
In 1880, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian independence, Albrecht de Vriendt painted the work Philip I, the Handsome, Conferring the Order of the Golden Fleece on his Son Charles of Luxembourg (Philippe Ier le Beau, conférant à son fils Charles de Luxembourg le titre de Chevalier de l'Ordre de la Toison d'Or). "Vriendt evokes the splendor of chivalric rites, setting a precedent of protocol for the new monarchy. Amid the lavish trappings of the princely household, Philip the Handsome (1478–1506) theatrically bestows the Order of the Golden Fleece on his one-year-old son, Charles (1500–1558), who later became Europe’s most powerful ruler as the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V".
Willem Geets (1838–1919) was the author of several famous paintings that depict Charles V. In 1984, a piece (that depicts Princess Isabella) of the painting Puppet show at the court of Margaret of Austria (1893) was stolen. The reason and the perpetrator are still unknown. The painting Emperor Charles V and Barbara Blomberg is the basis of the 1894 woodcut in Museen der Stadt Regensburg.
Literature
Sempere's La Carolea (1560) and Luis Zapata's Carlos Famoso (1566) are epics about Charles V. These works belong to the group of heroic poems about Charles, that are called the Caroliads.
In , published by Joan de Grieck in 1674, the short stories, anecdotes, citations attributed to the emperor, and legends about his encounters with famous and ordinary people, depict a noble Christian monarch with a perfect cosmopolitan personality and a strong sense of humour. Conversely, in Charles De Coster's masterpiece Thyl Ulenspiegel (1867), after his death Charles V is consigned to Hell as punishment for the acts of the Inquisition under his rule, his punishment being that he would feel the pain of anyone tortured by the Inquisition. De Coster's book also mentions the story on the spectacles in the coat of arms of Oudenaarde, the one about a paysant of Berchem in Het geuzenboek (1979) by Louis Paul Boon, while (1882–1939) included both tales in De liefdesavonturen van keizer Karel in Vlaanderen.
Achim von Arnim's Isabella von Ägypten. Kaiser Karl des Fünften erste Jugendliebe (novella, 1812) is a story about love between Charles and the Gypsy princess Isabella, whose mission is to free her "coarse people" and lead them back to Egypt, their legendary homeland. Arnim's story is connected to the imperial idea of universal rulership (of which the incarnation in Arnim's time was Napoleon) and the Virgin Astraea, associated with the Holy Roman Empire and here represented by the Gypsy princess.
Alexander Dumas's novel El Salteador (1854), published in English under the name The brigand : a story of the time of Charles the Fifth; and, The horoscope, a romance of the reign of Francis Second. is about Charles V (here Carlos I and events in Spain in 1519).
Lord Byron's Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte refers to Charles as "The Spaniard".
Charles V is a notable character in Simone de Beauvoir's All Men Are Mortal.
In The Maltese Falcon, the title object is said to have been an intended gift to Charles V.
Charles Quint: Against this rock is a 1943 novel about Charles V by Louis Zara.
Plays
Charles V appears as a character in the play Doctor Faustus by the Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe. In Act 4 Scene 1 of the A Text, Faustus attends Court by the Emperor's request and with the assistance of Mephistopheles conjures up spirits representing Alexander the Great and his paramour as a demonstration of his magical powers.
Opera
Fierrabras (opera) (1823) is an opera by Franz Schubert with the setting being Charles V's war against the Moors. Charles's daughter Emma is loved by Fierrabras, son of the leader of the Moors and Eginhard, a Spanish knight.
In the third act of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Ernani (1830), the election of Charles as Holy Roman Emperor is presented. Charles (Don Carlo in the opera) prays before the tomb of Charlemagne. With the announcement that he is elected as Carlo Quinto he declares an amnesty including the eponymous bandit Ernani who had followed him there to murder him as a rival for the love of Elvira. The opera, based on the Victor Hugo play Hernani, portrays Charles as a callous and cynical adventurer whose character is transformed by the election into a responsible and clement ruler.
In another Verdi opera, Don Carlo, the final scene implies that it is Charles V, now living the last years of his life as a hermit, who rescues his grandson, Don Carlo, from his father Philip II and the Inquisition, by taking Carlo with him to his hermitage at the monastery in Yuste.
Ernst Krenek's opera Karl V (opus 73, 1930) examines the title character's career via flashbacks.
Armour
Among the notable armourers who worked for Charles were the brothers Filippo and Francesco Negroli, Desiderius Helmschmid (1513–1579). Filippo was perhaps the first Italian armorer who constructed pseudo-antique helmets from single plates rather than combining multiple pieces as was the common practice of the time.
A round shield carries the image of Medusa (called the Medusa shield) and a burgonet were crafted by the Negroli and presented to Charles by his brother Ferdinand after in his 1535 entry to Naples, to celebrate his Tunis victory. The burgonet opens like a Roman helmet, with its idiosyncratic form assuming the figure of the hero Hercules. Tritons and Nereids appear on the shield alluding to naval expeditions to Africa. Figures of four great Africa heroes of ancient Rome appear on the shield, as medallions: Scipio, Caesar, Augustus and Claudius. These symbols identifying Charles with ancient African victors.
Desiderius Helmschmid made for Charles a breastplate that portrays him as Santiago Matamoros. This also seems to be an allegorical depiction of Charles' s triumph over Barbarossa in 1535.
Food
A Flemish legend about Charles being served a beer at the village of Olen, as well as the emperor's lifelong preference of beer above wine, led to the naming of several beer varieties in his honor. The Haacht Brewery of Boortmeerbeek produces Charles Quint, while Het Anker Brewery in Mechelen produces Gouden Carolus, including a Grand Cru of the Emperor, brewed once a year on Charles V's birthday. Grupo Cruzcampo's Legado De Yuste is connected to Charles, his Flemish origin and his last days at the monastery of Yuste.
Carlos V is the name of a popular chocolate bar in Mexico. Its tagline is "El Rey de los Chocolates" or "The King of Chocolates" and "Carlos V, El Emperador del Chocolate" or "Charles V, the Emperor of Chocolates."
Television and film
Charles V is portrayed by Hans Lefebre and is figured prominently in the 1953 film Martin Luther, covering Luther's years from 1505 to 1530.
Charles V is portrayed by Torben Liebrecht and is figured prominently in the 2003 film Luther covering the life of Martin Luther up until the Diet of Augsburg.

Biography
Born on 24 June 1949 in Baboutcheu-Ngaleu in the West Region of Cameroon, Pauline Mireille Ngoumou was one of the family's four daughters. Together with her husband, she moved to Paris where she studied at the Chambre syndicale de la couture. In 1972, she became the first African to receive the school's diploma in haute couture.
Eighteen months after she returned to Cameroon, her husband died while she was expecting her third child. Widowed at the age of 26, she persevered both at home and at work. In 1973, she was engaged as a teacher at the CETIC specialist school in Doula. Promoted first as head of practical work, she was later given the title of provincial technical education inspector. She retired from the school in 2009.
In 1993, Nemale founded New Fashion Academy, a vocational training establishment which specializes in fashion, modelling and decoration. As of May 2021, she was still running the establishment, having already trained some 300 students who were able to take up a profession in Cameroon or abroad.

Mokslas skaitymo rašto lietuviško (Old Lithuanian: Moksłas skaityma raszta lietuwiszka; ) is the first Catholic primer of the Lithuanian language.
The first Lithuanian primer Mokslas skaitymo rašto lenkiško (Old Lithuanian: Moksłas skaytima raszto lękiszko; ) was published in 1759–1761, however later it was published with a name Mokslas skaitymo rašto lietuviško (Old Lithuanian: Moksłas skaityma raszta lietuwiszka; ). In 1776–1790, about 1,000 copies of the primer were issued annually, in total – over 15,000 copies. This primer was published until 1864 and was the most important factor in educating the mass audience of readers of the Lithuanian literature.
According to the Russian Empire Census of 1897, 53.5% of Lithuanians (10 years and older) were literate in the ethnic Lithuania, while the average of the Russian Empire was only 27.7% (in the European part of Russia the average was 30%, in Poland – 40.7%). This was at the height of the Lithuanian press ban. Thus, the mass teaching of Lithuanian writing introduced for 100 years gave an irreversible result: the tradition of literacy was so ingrained in the Lithuanian nation that even the ban on the Lithuanian press (1864–1904) could no longer destroy the tradition of teaching writing to children. The spread of Lithuanian literacy, which began in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, laid the foundations for the Lithuanian National Revival in the 19th century and eventually the restoration of statehood in 1918.

The Red de Juderías de España (literally "Network of Jewish Quarters of Spain") is a non-profit organisation comprising cities which have a medieval Jewish quarter. Its goals are to preserve the architectural, historical, artistic and cultural legacy of the Sephardi Jews, who were expelled from Spain in 1492. Since October 2016, the organisation is permanently headquartered in Córdoba, while its presidency rotates annually between mayors of member cities.
History
The organisation was founded in 1995 and its founding members were Cáceres, Córdoba, Girona, Hervás, Ribadavia, Segovia, Toledo and Tudela. Tortosa and Oviedo joined before the end of the century. Barcelona and León joined in 2003, alongside Ávila and Jaén two years later. In 2008 there was a significant expansion, with Besalú, Calahorra, Estella-Lizarra, Monforte de Lemos Plasencia and Tarazona joining. Lucena became the 24th member in 2012, having first applied in 2003.
In June 2016, the Catalan members Besalú, Castelló d'Empúries, Girona and Tortosa quit the organisation. These cities – where Jewish quarters are known as calls from a Hebrew term – saw the organisation as focused on tourism, while they considered education and research to be more important. The split made headlines in The New York Times and Israel's Haaretz.
Seville, a member since 2011, also left in 2016. Mayor Juan Espadas saw membership as not financially viable. Palma de Mallorca ended its 12-year membership in 2017 in order to put the €22,500 fee towards promoting its Jewish history independently. Oviedo's membership ended in 2020 due to a €54,000 debt.
Béjar, Lorca, Sagunto and Tui joined in 2019.

3-Chlorobenzonitrile is an organic compound with the chemical formula ClC6H4CN. It is one of the isomers of chlorobenzonitrile.
Preparation and reactions
Typically, aryl nitriles are produced by ammoxidation.
3-Chlorobenzonitrile can also be produced by dehydration of the aldoxime of 3-chlorobenzaldehyde. It can also produced by heating 3-chlorobenzylamine and iodine in ammonium acetate aqueous solution.
In the presence of copper nanoparticles, 3-chlorobenzonitrile can be reduced by sodium borohydride to 3-chlorobenzylamine. Some ruthenium catalyzers can catalysis the hydrolysis of 3-chlorobenzonitrile to form 3-chlorobenzamide.

Far from the Tree is a 2021 American traditional/computer animated short film directed by Natalie Nourigat. It was first shown at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 15, 2021, and was later released on November 24, 2021, with Encanto.
Plot
On a beach, a young raccoon named Marie and her father, who has a scar over his left eye, venture out from the woods in search for food. While Marie is quick to get distracted and veer away from her father's view, her father aggressively tries to get her to stay put. When her father is digging for oysters, Marie finds a seashell, listening to the ocean waves in it. However, her father notices and destroys it. Marie eventually follows a seagull to its flock, only to find a coyote ready to attack her. The coyote chases Marie and gives her a scar on her nose, only for Marie's father to attack the coyote and angrily scolds Marie for leaving, pointing out his scar.
Years later, the now-adult Marie ventures to the beach with her own son, who acts much as she did when she was younger. When her son finds a seashell, Marie angrily takes it away from him, only to catch herself acting like how her father acted towards her. The two reconcile and return to their home tree, where Marie gifts her son a seashell.

Horn Park is a public park within Horn Park in the Eltham area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, southeast London, United Kingdom. It has a mixture of grassland and woodland, children's playground, football pitch, outdoor gym and the first skate park in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Historically Horn Park was one of three deer hunting parks belonging to Eltham Palace, over the centuries it was also used as grazing farmland and a fruit orchard. The park today is some of the last remaining open space of the original park, a public park next to the Horn Park housing estate which was completed just after the Second World War.
Name
The area the park now occupies was previously the southern part of the Horn Park, one of three parks belonging to Eltham Manor, later called Eltham Palace. The historic Horn Park was also known as West Horne and Lee Park; it was the westernmost of Eltham Manor's parks, and slightly closer to Lee, than Eltham. It had also been recorded as Home Park. The Horn part of the name is thought to come from Old English, meaning "a projecting horn shaped piece of land" and Saxon Horne, meaning corner, as it formed a projecting bulge on the edge of the Eltham parish. The area and the public park are both identically named Horn Park. The direction sign outside the park at the junction of Gavestone Crescent and Alnwick Road, says Horn Park Local Park and Recreation Gound, probably to simply distinguish the park from the area, as the shops and community centre of Horn Park are in the opposite direction. The park is simply named Horn Park on maps which name it, also on the Royal Borough of Greenwich website for the park, and on the signs inside the park.
Description
Horn Park is a public park, within Horn Park in the Eltham area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It is long east to west, and across north to south, but widens to about across at the eastern side, to give the park a total area of . It contains an outdoor gym, a playground, a floodlit multi-use game court and a skate park, the first skate park to be constructed in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Horn Park is on a hill, the eastern edge of the park has a height of about above sea level, which rises to around a height on the west side of the park, giving views of the surrounding area.
The paved road, Gavestone Crescent enters Horn Park at the northwest gate and gently curves around the northern side of the park and exits the northern gate, it is usually gated off to vehicles but serves as a wide paved path to pedestrian, cyclists and wheelchair users. The majority of Horn Park's green space is south of Gavestone Crescent. Much of Horn Park's area is maintained short grass, although some patches are left to grow for wildlife. The western corner of the park is woodland, the eastern third of the park has small patches of trees and bushes, and a thin strip of trees follows the southern boundary of the park. There are some paved footpaths that curve across the east side of Horn Park amongst the trees that connect to the different entrance gates, and many unpaved paths including one that follows the southern edge of the park. There are many benches in the park close to the paved paths, plus many bins, dog waste bins and information signs too, there is also a large hedge just to the west of the centre, that almost cuts the park in two running from Gavestone Crescent to the southern fence.
On the northwest side of Horn Park, north of Gavestone Crescent along the northern fence next to Horn Park Primary School, is the paved playground area of the park. This contains a fenced playground for small children, with equipment such as, a climbing frame with a slide, roundabout and swings, and a fenced playground designed for older children, with a zip line, and bigger swings and climbing frames, there are also picnic tables inside the playgrounds. To the east of the playground is a fenced, floodlit multipurpose game court, then next to that is the skate park, with numerous wooden quarter pipes, ramps and rails atop tarmac; Horn Park's skate park was the first to be constructed in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Opposite the playground on the south side of Gavestone Crescent is an outdoor gym with nine pieces of equipment for people to use, and bicycle locking bars; south of here on the west side of the main field is a full size football pitch with goal posts.
Location
Horn Park is located in Horn Park with which it shares its name, in the Eltham area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, in southeast London, United Kingdom. Horn Park is very close to the borough boundary, the London Borough of Lewisham is within to the south and west of the park and almost touches the park's west corner, while the London Borough of Bromley, is around to the east of Horn Park. The park is around south of the shops and community hall of Horn Park; Middle Park is only northeast, and Eltham beyond there at from the park. Other nearby places are Grove Park and Chinbrook to the south, Lee Green to the northwest, and Mottingham to the east. There are no bodies of water inside Horn Park, although east of the park the River Quaggy flows past in a northern direction. Although within the Eltham area of Royal Borough of Greenwich, Horn Park is not included in SE9 postcode area like the rest of Eltham, but is in the SE12 post code area, which is the Lee district.
Boundaries
Most of Horn Park's boundaries are with the gardens of the surrounding minor residential roads. The park's southern boundary is a wooden fence approximately separating the park from the back gardens of houses on Winn Road. The western wooden fence is around long and backs onto gardens on Guibal Road, whilst the eastern fence is around the same length and separates Horn Park from the back gardens of houses on Motingham Lane. The Northern fence separates the park from residential roads of Alnwick Road on the east side and Gavestone Road on the west side, whilst the centre of the northern boundary is a chain link fence separating the park from the grounds of Horn Park Primary School, and some gardening allotments.
There are five entrance gates to Horn Park. The southern entrance gate from Winn Road, joins a foot path between two houses of Winn Road before coming to the main field of the park. The northwest corner of Horn Park has a footpath passing through a gate to Gavestone Road, and the northeast corner has a footpath joining a gate on Alnwick Road, between two houses. Next to the allotments, there is a vehicle gate, where Gavestone Crescent enters the park, this gate is locked to the public vehicles, and is usually only used for maintenance and emergency access, although there is pedestrian access around the gate, and a separate pedestrian gate close by to the vehicle gate.

History
The area the park now occupies was previously the southern part of the Horn Park, one of three parks belonging to Eltham Manor, later called Eltham Palace. During the reign of William the Conqueror, the estate of Eltham Manor was recorded to belonging to Odo of Bayeux. During the following centuries, the ownership of Eltham Manor fell in and out of Crown ownership several times. The land belonged to John de Vesci then William de Vesci in the 13th century followed by Gilbert de Aton, 1st Baron Aton and Geoffrey le Scrope in the 14th century. In 1465 King Edward VI established Horn Park as a royal deer hunting park, the other two Eltham parks already having been made into deer parks by Edward II 150 years earlier in 1315. By 1481 Horn Park was an enclosed park in size and consisted of a moated lodge, with a dairy, barn, stable and orchard. Horn Park was also leased by Henry Guildford and Sir John Gates in the 16th century, then in 1586, Peter Pett was authorised to use timber from the park for building ships at Deptford Dockyard.
In the mid 17th century Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset was in charge of the land until the English Civil War when Charles I was captured in 1648, and Rich the rebel with commonwealth soldiers and common people sacked Eltham Palace, destroyed the parks and killed the deer, ending their use as deer parks. After Charles I was executed in 1649, Horn Park came into the possession of Thomas Walsingham followed by Sir John Shaw, 1st Baronet in 1663.
At the end of the 17th century the estate was turned to arable land, meadow and pasture, then in 1860, Horn Park Farm was owned by a silk merchant named Thomas Blenkiron, and the land was used to graze race horses. In the early 19th century, Horn Park was a fruit farm, the farmhouse stood north of the present day recreation ground, where the junction of Alnwick Road and Horncastle Road is now located, orchards were planted on the land. In the 1930s development began in the northern parts of the Horn Park farmland laying out the first residential streets, then in 1936 Woolwich council cleared most of the orchard to begin building Horn Park housing estate starting with 198 houses. Construction was put on hold due to the Second World War, but the estate was finished after the war and consisted of 1,100 homes, and Horn Park Primary School was also built in 1949.
In the late 1940s Gaveston Crescent was laid down as a new street with prefab houses all the way along it on both sides, leaving the last bit of open land to the south of the new Horn Park estate only across. The last section of the orchard still remained, north west of the current park, this was cleared and turned into houses and flats of Gaveston Crescent. In 1968 the prefab houses of Gaveston Crescent were torn down and turned back into open land, making the park its current size of , and across. The children's playground was constructed on the site of some of the former prefabs and the paved road surface of Gaveston Crescent itself was left running through the park as a large footpath, and still appears named on maps, despite having no houses and not being accessible by vehicle. In January 2003 a newly constructed skate park was open to the public, and was the first skate park in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. A local chairwoman, Frances Walker, raised £50,000 for outdoor gym equipment to be installed in Horn Park, shortly before she passed away April 2009 aged 69; the outdoor gym was installed in 2009, and a memorial sign with Walker's name and photograph was erected next to it.
The current playground in Horn Park was constructed in 2016; the playground has been rebuilt several times since its first appearance, but has always occupied roughly the same spot adjacent to Horn Park Primary School which itself was rebuilt in 1970. There was previously a brick building on the north side of Gaveston Crescent near the playground, that was used to serve food and drink when events were being held in the park, but it was demolished in the early 2000s.
Horn Park has won the Green Flag Award several times between 2012 and 2021 The flag celebrating this was erected next to the outdoor gym.

Upper Arag (Old Arag), it's also known as Juhuro-Arag () - abandoned Lezgins aul in the Suleyman-Stalsky District of Dagestan.
Etymology
"Arag" is a proper name.
Geography
The village is located in the foothills of the Suleiman Stalsky district.
History
An ancestral village of the consanguinity (clan) - "aragar".
In the 17th-19th centuries, the Mountain Jews population of Dagestan was concentrated in mountain settlements.
The Mountain Jews villages of the foothill zone were usually located in fertile gorges - along the roads that connected the Dagestan highlands with the plains. As a rule, the inhabitants of these villages were engaged not only in agriculture or crafts, but also in trade. Trade with some of the Dagestan gorges was almost entirely in the hands of the Mountain Jews. The inhabitants of the villages of Arag supplied almost all villages of the Kurakhsky Gorge and Upper Tabasaransky with goods.
In the first half of the XX century Arag’s Mountain Jews gradually moved to Derbent. By the end of the 1950s of the 20th century, there were no more Mountain Jews left either in the Kurakhsky or in the Tabasaransky villages. Currently, the Mountain Jews cemeteries have been preserved.

St Chad's, Haggerston, located on Dunloe Street in the Borough of Hackney, is an urban Anglican parish church in the diocese of London, England. Built to designs by architect James Brooks and completed in 1869 as part of the Haggerston Church Scheme, the Grade I Listed church was united with the parish of St Mary, Haggerston in 1953, following the destruction of that church in an air raid in 1941. St Chad's has a historical association with High Church liturgy and Anglo-Catholicism.
History
In 1862, the Shoreditch and Haggerston Church Extension Fund was started. The district of St Chad was created in 1863, with a committee formed for the erection of the church for the new parish holding its first meeting in January 1864. Construction was begun in 1867, and St Chad's was consecrated on April 4, 1869. At its design and completion, St Chad's was situated on the north-east corner of Nichols Square, a poor residential area comprised principally of terraced housing. Brooks also designed and built the adjacent vicarage, circa 1870, which is Grade II* listed.
Nichols Square was demolished in 1963 to create the Fellows Court Estate. In 1970, the church of St Augustine's, Yorkton Street (also built as part of the Haggerston Church Scheme), closed and its parish, which had sustained bombing in the war and subsequent demolition, was incorporated into the parish of St Chad's.
Architecture
Interior
Brooks designed the furniture and liturgical furnishings of several of his landmark East London churches. At St Chad's, he designed the reredos, which was carved by Thomas Earp, and the pulpit, and may have been responsible for further details including the rood screen. The clerestory and rose windows are plainly glazed, but there are several stained glass windows by eminent English designers and manufacturers Clayton and Bell, who were responsible for the three large-scale single figures in the apse – depicting a Christ in Majesty, flanked by windows with Mary as the Blessed Virgin and the church's patron saint.
Present day
St Chad's is an active Anglican parish church under the episcopal care of the Bishop of Fulham, and is in the deanery of Hackney, in the Diocese of London. The building is on Historic England's 'Heritage at Risk Register', a programme for identifying for safeguarding significant historical sites at risk of loss.

Al Adab (Arabic:اآلداب مجلة) was an Arabic avant-garde existential literary print magazine published in Beirut, Lebanon, in the period 1953–2012. Encyclopædia Britannica describes it as one of the leading publications founded in the Arab countries in the latter half of the 20th century. Although the magazine was headquartered in Beirut, it was distributed all over the Arabic-speaking regions. It was restarted in 2015 as an online-only publication.
History and profile
Al Adab was launched by Suhayl Idris, Mahij Uthman and Munir Al Baalbecki in Beirut in 1953. The publisher was Dar Al Adab which was also established by Suhayl Idris who was the editor-in-chief of the magazine from 1956 to 1992.
The influence and popularity of Al Adab continued until the beginning of the civil war in Lebanon in 1975. The frequency of the magazine changed over time. It was started as a monthly and continued to be published on a monthly basis until 1980. Between 1980 and 2011 Al Adab appeared five times per year. The magazine was published four times in 2012 when it ceased its print version in Autumn 2012 after producing 60 volumes. Al Adab was relaunched as an online literary magazine in 2015.
Content and contributors
Al Adab was under the influence of Jean-Paul Sartre and existentialism adhering to the concept of commitment literature (al-adab al-multazim) which is also termed as the literary commitment (iltizam al-adab). In the case of the magazine the commitment was to encourage literary outcomes which focused on the Arab world-related politics and social causes. Therefore, it argued that the literary work produced in Arabic should function as a medium for the liberation of Arabs. The magazine was also a follower of the free verse approach in poetry.
The magazine featured articles on politics, poetry, short stories, film criticism, theater, and culture with a special reference to the Arab world. As an avant-garde publication Al Adab covered all forms of novice literary techniques which were applied to all literary genres.
The contributors of Al Adab were from different political origins, but all were the supporters of the approaches given above. Some of them were Raif Khoury, Salama Moussa, Nazik Al Malaika and Taha Hussein. In the Spring 1968 issue of Al Adab the manifesto of Adunis, a Syrian poet, dated 5 June 1967 was published.
Although both were avant-garde publications and supported free verse movement, Al Adab was the main adversary of Shi'r, a poetry magazine which was started in Beirut in 1968. Because the latter was an ardent opponent of the commitment literature. Al Adab was also critical of the cultural elites of the period due to their inactiveness in regard to the achievement of the liberation of the Arab countries.
The issues of Al Adab were archived by the American University of Beirut.

Börje Karl Anders Sunna (born 1985) is a Swedish Sámi artist known for incorporating a strong political point of view into his artwork.
Sunna was born in the Jukkasjärvi parish of Kiruna, Norrbotten County, Sweden. He grew up in a reindeer herding family in near border with Finland and was educated at Academy of Fine Arts, Umeå and the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. Nowadays he lives in Jokkmokk, Sweden.
Sunna's art is political, often focusing on Sámi history and his family's long-standing conflict with the county administrative board's reindeer husbandry delegation. In his work, Suuna uses thick layers of color, graffiti techniques, collage, and prints with motifs depicting oppression of the Sámi, including forced relocations and photographs from the Swedish State Institute for Racial Biology. In 2013, Sunna drew criticism from some Sámi for his use of the Sámi flag as a canvas for a graffiti-style painting of a skull-faced Sámi man holding an AK-47.
In addition to painting, Sunna works with larger installations. In some exhibitions, he collaborates with the artist and photographer Michiel Brouwer.
Sunna co-directed with Inga-Wiktoria Påve the 2017 animated short film (Wake Up Elena Wake Up!), which won the Jane Glassco Award for Emerging Talent at the 2017 imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival in Toronto and Best Indigenous Short Film award at the 2018 in Finland.
Some of Sunna's art is on public display at the Gällivare District Courthouse, after being purchased by the in 2015. Sunna is one of the artists representing Sápmi in the Nordic pavilion during the 2022 Venice Biennale.

In the end of year 2020, there occurred major split in Nepal Communist Party. It stood dismissed while this caused the revival of Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre).
A further split occurred in CPN (Maoist Centre) when a team led by Ram Bahadur Thapa (Badal) joined CPN (UML). Similarly, a group led by former prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhala Nath Khanal split from CPN (UML) to form CPN (Unified Socialist).
On the other hand, minor group led by Hridayesh Tripathi left CPN (UML) formed People's Progressive Party which was announced in December 2021. The other group led by Senior Vice-president Bam Dev Gautam left CPN (UML) in September and is in preparation to form a new party soon.
Split in Nepal Communist Party
Internal conflict
In a party secretariat meeting on 21 August 2019, senior leader of the party Madhav Kumar Nepal registered a note on dissent regarding the work division in the party and criticizing the two co-chairmen, K.P. Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal, for not completing the merger process sooner. He also criticized Oli for not following the "One Leader, One Position" policy that the party had decided on and called for Oli to either resign as party leader or as prime minister. A meeting of the secretariat on 21 November 2019, the party decided on continuing with two leaders but made Dahal the executive head of the party. The meeting also decided on letting Oli complete his full term as prime minister instead of the agreement between the two leaders to lead the government in turns. The cabinet was also reshuffled after criticisms of the government from within the party. A rift within the party was also formed after some factions in the party did not favor a grant under the Millennium Challenge Corporation that the government had agreed with the United States government. A task force formed by the party decided on not endorsing the agreement without amendments.
Bam Dev Gautam was appointed as the party's vice-chairman after the central committee of the party amended the party statute. Party co-chairman, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal criticized the Oli governments handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and leaders within the party urged the senior leadership in the party to call a meeting of the party secretariat to discuss the government work. At the meeting of the party secretariat some leaders called on Oli's resignation but a later meeting decided to allow Oli to after he agreed to work under the party's instructions and let Dahal perform his duties as the party's executive leader. A panel formed by the party to solve the internal dispute proposed that a national convention of the party be held in April 2021 to solve issues regarding the party unity and the proposal was endorsed by the standing committee of the party. Another cabinet reshuffle was done on 16 October 2020 but Oli was criticized by the party for not consulting the party.
On 14 November 2020, co-chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal presented a political document at a party secretariat meeting that accused K.P. Sharma Oli of not following the party's directions, unilaterally leading the government and turning a blind eye towards corruption. In response, Oli attacked Dahal for not letting him the government, promoting factionalism and nepotism as well as not letting victims of the Nepalese Civil War get justice.
Vertical split in NCP
On 20 December 2020, K.P. Sharma Oli called on President Bidhya Devi Bhandari to dissolve the House of Representatives and call for fresh elections. In an address to the nation, Oli said he dissolved the house after the party had not let him work as prime minister and that a no-confidence motion was being prepared against him from within the party. The decision was met with criticism from within the party and seven ministers close to the Dahal–Nepal faction in his cabinet resigned in protest.
K.P. Oli called a meeting of the central committee of the leaders in the party close to him and added 556 members to the existing 446-member committee of the party. The new central committee was to organize a party unity convention in November 2021. The meeting also removed Narayan Kaji Shrestha as party spokesperson and replaced him with Pradeep Gyawali.
The Dahal–Nepal faction of the party also organized its own central committee meeting with 310 members of the original central committee and replaced K.P. Oli as party co-chairman with Madhav Kumar Nepal. The meeting also decided to protest against the government to restore the House of Representatives.
Election Commission registry
The party got registered with the Election Commission of Nepal on 7 June 2018 under the name Nepal Communist Party (NCP) after the Election Commission of Nepal refused to register the new party as another party called Nepal Communist Party was already registered, the latter being a small group led by Rishi Kattel. Kattel challenged the Election Commission decision at the Supreme Court.
As a reference to the NCP's registration, the party became colloquially known as the NCP double. Following the split between the Oli and Dahal-Nepal factions, the Election Commission declined to recognize neither faction as the legitimate holders of the NCP's registration. On 8 March 2021, Nepal's Supreme Court stated that the allocation of the name Nepal Communist Party upon the merger of the CPN (UML) and CPN (Maoist Centre), and by extension the merger itself, was void ab initio, as the name was already allotted to the party led by Kattel, and that the NCP stood "dismissed". Upon the ruling, the two predecessor parties were revived in their original state immediately prior to the merger, although should the two wish to merge again with proper procedure being followed, that it would be fully allowed.
Split in Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre)
The party faced a split when the Members of House of Representatives including Prabhu Sah, Gauri Shankar Chaudhary, Lekhraj Bhatta, former deputy prime minister Top Bahadur Rayamajhi and two National Assembly members including former Home Minister Ram Bhadur Thapa and Chandra Bahadur Khadka left the party to joined the CPN(UML), along with nine provincial assembly members. Influential leaders of Maoist Dawa Lama Tamang and Mani Thapa joined them. They put the allegation on party president Pushpa Kamal Dahal of not conducting a general covention of the party to stay chairman of party for decades, being family centric and making party decision as a dictator. Four mayors and nine rural municipality chairpersons also left the party and joined the CPN(UML).
Provincial assembly members including Tanka Angbuhan from Province No. 1, Ram Chandra Mandal, Jwala Kumari Sah, Kundan Prasad Kushwaha and Mohammad Samir from Madhesh Province, Dadhiram Neupane and Dinesh Panthi from Lumbini Province, Dharma Raj Regmi from Karnali Province and Jhapat Bohara from Sudurpashchim Province left the party. Similarly, mayors of Rangeli Municipality, Katahariya Municipality, Bideha Municipality and Maulapur Municipality left the party to join CPN (UML).
Splits in Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist)
2021 vertical split
On 18 July 2021, 22 member of House of Representatives from the party voted for Sher Bahadur Deuba as Prime Minister, defying the party whip.
As a result, dispute rose among former prime ministers Madhav Kumar Nepal and KP Sharma Oli due to Madhav's faction supporting the government despite the party being in the opposition. On 18 August 2021, Madhav Kumar formed a new party called Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist).
Former Prime Minister Jhalanatha Khanal, party vice presidents and as many as 31 MP's joined the new party. This made a split from top to lower level committees of party.
2021 minor splits
A minor group led by senior vice president, Bamdev Gautam left the party on 4 September 2021. Currently they are in pocess of registering a new party.
Another minor group, led by Hridayesh Tripathi along with MPs Brijesh Kumar Gupta and Ishwar Dayal Mishra also split away on 26 August 2021 and formed the People's Progressive Party.
Aftermath
The government of central level and provincial level changed as a result of change in equation of legislature. Other factions except CPN (UML) joined hands with Nepali Congress to stay in power and Sher Bahadur Deuba of NC was elected new Prime minister of Nepal.

Edward Parsons (1762–1833) was an English Congregational minister and writer.
Life
From an Irish background, he was born in Stepney on 16 July 1762. Backed by Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, he became one of the early students of Trevecca College. On leaving the college he went to Tunbridge Wells to minister in Lady Huntingdon's Connexion, and then to Norwich, where his health failed under stress of work.
After a brief ministry at Bristol, Parsons went to Wigan at the Countess's request, and drew a good congregation there. He spent 1781 at the St Saviourgate chapel in York. Early in 1784 he went to London to take charge of the chapel in Mulberry Gardens, Wapping, but shortly afterwards he leftLady Huntingdon's Connexion.
Joining the Congregationalists, Parsons preached for some months at the independent church in Cannon Street, Manchester; and then became assistant at the White Chapel, Leeds. On 17 February 1785 the minister, John Edwards, died, and Parsons succeeded him. The White Chapel, though several times enlarged, became too small for the congregation, and the new Salem Chapel was built in 1791. From 1786 Parsons preached annually for forty years at Tottenham Court Chapel.
In 1795 Parsons took a major part in the establishment of the London Missionary Society, of which he was a director for some years. In August 1813 he assisted in organising an auxiliary of the society at Leeds for the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was one of the trustees of the Evangelical Magazine from its beginning, in 1793, till his death. In 1832 he resigned his post at Leeds, but still occasionally preached in London. He died at Douglas, Isle of Man, on 29 July 1833.
Works
Parsons was popular as a preacher, and published many separate sermons. Among tracts which he issued between 1791 and 1832 are:
Under the pseudonym "Vindex", A Letter to the Author of a Candid Inquiry [into the Democratic Schemes of the Dissenters], Leeds, 1801; 2nd edit., entitled A Vindication of the Dissenters against the Charge of Democratic Scheming. It was replied to by "The Inquirer" in The Guilt of Democratic Scheming fully proved against the Dissenters, Bradford, 1802. Parsons retorted in an Appendix to his Vindication, and stated "The Inquirer" to be William Atkinson of Bradford.
On Self-Possession in Preaching, London, 1832.
Tracts for Infant Churches, London, 1832.
He also edited:
The works of Philip Doddridge, Leeds, 1802–5, 1811, and of Jonathan Edwards, Leeds, 1806 (with Edward Williams;
David Simpson's A Plea for the Deity of Jesus, London, 1812, with a memoir of the author, and a preface entitled The Spirit of Modern Socinianism exemplified;
The works of Stephen Charnock, London, 1815; and
With Thomas Scales and Richard Winter Hamilton, A Selection of Hymns … for the Use of the Protestant Dissenting Congregations of the Independent Order,’ Leeds, 1822, 1835.
Parsons abridged Daniel Neal's History of the Puritans, London, 1812.
Family
Parsons was twice married. By his second wife, a daughter of James Hamilton, M.D. (1740–1827), of Dunbar, and of Winterfield Hall, Belhaven, he had a large family, including Edward Parsons (1797–1844), the eldest son, and James Parsons (1799–1877), both ministers.

Germain Droogenbroodt is a Belgian poet born September 11, 1944, in Rollegem, in the Flemish part of Belgium.
Apart from being a poet, he is both a translator and a publisher. He became known as a translator for his rendition of the poems of Rose Ausländer, Sarah Kirsch, Peter Huchel, etc.
Droogenbroodt has also published numerous volumes of poetry by modern poets from various regions of the world in the POINT publishing house (POesie INTernational) over a period of more than 30 years.
He was secretary-general of the World Literature Congress in Valencia, is secretary-general of the World Academy of Arts & Culture (WAAC) and he is a member of the board of the World Congress of Poetry, founded in 1969 by Amado Yuzon, Krishna Srinivas, Lou Lutour and Tin- wen Chung.
Germain Droogenbroodt has published around a dozen volumes of poetry, not counting the translated volumes of his poetry published abroad.
Life and Work
The yearbook The Low Countries: Art and Society in Flanders and the Netherlands makes reference to the poet. But as someone who has not lived in Belgium for decades and who may have had too few contacts there, Droogenbroodt received more attention and also gained more recognition abroad.
The Chinese poet Bei Dao 北岛 dedicated an entire chapter to this "Belgian poet"
In his book Midnight's Gate (Wu ye shi men), the poet Bei Dao describes Droogenbroodt there as a "hedonist" who "fell in love with the most painful of all things: poetry."
In his book I Am The Dewdrop, I Am The Ocean, the Indian poet and artist Satish Gupta not only called Droogenbroodt the "founder of Point Editions", but also referred to him as a "Mediterranean poet and linguist".
José Luis Ferris refers to Droogenbroodt as the translator of Rafael Carcelén's poems.
The poet and translator Germain Droogenbroodt is also mentioned in the book Mit dem Wort am Leben hängen: Reiner Kunze zum 65. Geburtstag (Hanging on to life with the word: for Reiner Kunze on his 65th birthday), edited by Marek Zybura: Reiner Kunze on his 65th birthday.
In the book Women Between Two Worlds: Portraits, Conversations, Interviews by Gabriele Hefele, the author erroneously calls Germain Droogenbroodt "a Dutch poet".
Not only because he is a multilingual poetry translator, but also as a poet, Germain Droogenbroodt is an author between two (or more) worlds.
A book by the Chinese poet Hai An states that Droogenbroodt visited China on several occasions and promoted exchanges between Chinese and Western poetry.
In the book Wǒde xīn shìjì shī lù (My New Century Poetry Road) by the poet Li Kuixian (李魁賢), who was born in 1937 and whose name is transcribed in Taiwan as Li Kuei-hsien, Germain Droogenbroodt is also mentioned. Li emphasizes Droogenbroodt's involvement in cultural activities in Taiwan and underlines his role as a poet, translator, and critic.
Germain Droogenbroodt's poetry book Counterlight was published in Chinese In Taipei in 2007. The poems in the book were translated by Bei Dao, Gong Hua (= Karen Kung), and Zhao Zhenkai (= Bei Dao !) together with the author.
Bei Dao also translated Droogenbroodt's poetry collection The Road - a nod to the concept of "Tao" - into Chinese.
Thanks to Ganga Prasad Vimal, the poetry book The Road is also available in English and Hindi.
Fuad Rifka translated a volume of poetry by Droogenbroodt into Arabic; Jana Stroblova and Josef Hruby translated a volume of his poetry into Czech and Milan Richter translated it into Slovak.
As editor, Emilio Coco also created a volume of poems by the Belgian author entitled Sorge il cantore: amanence el cantor. This volume was published in Bari in 2001 by the Levante publishing house in the Quaderni della valle series. The texts of the volume are printed partly in Italian, partly in Spanish and also in Dutch).
An Irish edition of poetry by the Belgian author is particularly noteworthy. It's the book Sruth an Ama. The subtitle is: Irish-language versions by Gabriel Rosenstock of selected poems by Germain Droogenbroodt. The book was published in Dublin in 2011 as an e-book.
Honors and Awards
In 1995, Droogenbroodt was a recipient of a Hawthornden Fellowship in Scottland.
For his book Conversation with the Hereafter he received the Buckinx Price.
He was „Laureate“ of the 29th Premio de Poesia Juan Alcaide In Spain.
He also received the PEGASUS PRICE of the Mongolian Academy for Culture and Poetry
and he received an Honorary Doctorate in Cairo.

Pierre Loeb (born September 24, 1897, in Paris; died May 4, 1964) was a French art dealer and gallery owner who focused primarily on Surrealism and 20th-century Modernism. In 1924 he founded the Galerie Pierre in Paris, whose most famous exhibition was the first collective exhibition of Surrealists the following year.
Life
Pierre Loeb worked in his father's rope-making business. He met the dentist Daniel Tzanck, an art collector who introduced him to modern art. Tsanck was friends with the Bulgarian painter Jules Pascin as well as the French painter André Derain. In 1924, Loeb opened his Galerie Pierre at 13 rue Bonaparte in Paris and presented Pascin's works in his first exhibition. In the gallery's most famous exhibition, La peinture surréaliste (November 14–26, 1925), the first group exhibition of Surrealist painters, Loeb presented works by Hans Arp, Paul Klee, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Giorgio de Chirico, as well as André Masson
.
In 1926, he moved the gallery to house number 2, also on Rue Bonaparte. In the same year Loeb met for the first time in person with Pablo Picasso, with whom he later became good friends and whose works he exhibited in 1929. He was also a great follower of Joan Miró, whose works he exhibited eleven times from 1927 to 1939. In 1930 Loeb showed sculptures by Henri Matisse, in 1934 the gallery hosted the first exhibition of the artist Balthus and in 1936 the first solo exhibition of Wolfgang Paalen. In 1938 he focused on the landscape paintings of Georges Braque.
Nazi persecution and exile
When the Nazis occupied Paris in 1940, Loeb was persecuted because of his Jewish heritage. His art gallery was Aryanized, that is, transferred to a non-Jewish owner, Georges Aubry, in 1941. In 1942 he fled to Cuba, where he lived until the end of the war.
Postwar
After the end of the war, Loeb returned to Paris and recovered his gallery, though not without difficulty. He organized a sensational exhibition of drawings by Antonin Artaud (1947). After that, he focused with great energy on abstract painting, exhibiting works by the artist group CoBrA and the École de Paris, as well as by individual artists such as Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Zao Wou-Ki, and Camille Bryen.
In 1957 he married Agathe Vaito.
In 1964 Pierre Loeb died one of the most famous art dealers and gallery owners of modernism. He rests in the Cimetière Montparnasse (28th Division). The grave is adorned with a granite sculpture entitled La Roue (The Wheel) by Hans Arp from 1965.
Family
Pierre Loeb was the brother of photographer Denise Colomb (1902-2004). His son Albert Loeb (b. 1932) owned a gallery in New York City from 1958 to 1971 and opened a gallery in 1966 until February 2015 existing gallery in Paris. Pierre Loeb's grandchildren are the chanson singer, actress and director Caroline Loeb (* 1955) and the actor Martin Loeb (* 1959).

The Protiadae were a prominent Massaliote family. The family probably claimed descent from the Phocaean Greek Prō̃tis (Πρῶτις), a legendary figure said to be the son of Euxenus, a Phocaean founder of Massalia, in one account and to have himself founded the city in another. Aristotle reported that the family was still present in the area in his time.
According to Aristotle, the Phocaean Euxenus was invited to the feast for the marriage of the daughter of the Segobrigian chief Nannus. The woman, named Petta, was to choose her future husband at the party, by giving one of the suitors a cup containing wine mixed with water. She chose Euxenus, who gave her the Greek name of Aristoxena. Their son, Protis, would be the founder of the family. Thus, a new patrilineal descent-group split off Nannus and the Segobrigii. Aristotle, however, speaks of the family as "descended from her", perhaps alluding to the semi-matrilineal system of the Celto-Ligurians.
According to Justin, who says Massalia was founded by the Phoecians during the time of Tarquinius Priscus, Protis was indeed the city-founder, having led a fleet of Greeks from Phoecia to the area of Massalia. It was him, then, who married the daughter of Nannus, whose name is Gyptis in this version. Also Plutarch speaks of Protos as the founder of the city.

He is also considered as cricket's greatest librarian and also fondly remembered as cricket's YouTube hero. As of February 2022, he has approximately 1.01 million subscribers.
Career
He had the knack of recording live cricket matches which were broadcast on television virtually onto video tapes from his young age since the 1980s. He first recorded a cricket match to video tape in 1982–83 Australian cricket season which included the Ashes at the age of five. He then switched to DVDs from video tapes to record live cricket matches in 1990s. He also then proceeded towards converting them to hard disks to suit the technological evolution.
He has over 300 videotapes, 25000 DVDs and 60 hard drives holding a grand total of whopping 100 Terabytes of footage.
He initially started the idea of sharing archived videos on YouTube by uploading some random Sheffield Shield highlights on YouTube on the request of his online friend.
He created his first YouTube Channel titled robelinda on 7 November 2010 but he later opened a new channel named as robelinda2 due to the difficulties he had to deal with when uploading long videos after a few months of time. He started uploading cricket content from 1980s related to Australian cricket in YouTube and also went onto upload cricket videos related to other nations afterwards.
The video footage which he shared about the century scored by former Australian cricketer Greg Blewett against England in one of the test matches way back in 1998 was the first real breakthrough behind the origin story of his YouTube channel. The video he posted about David Saker’s half volley bouncer to Michael Vaughan in a test match on 10 November 2010 had raked the most number of YouTube views for any YouTube video on his channel.
He is also highly known for uploading rare cricket videos from obscure matches which are in fact not even broadcast as highlights in television. He revealed that 90 percent of the views on his YouTube channel comes from India. He was also approached by renowned cricket archives of famed institutions and also by former as well as current international cricketers through social media platforms.
His videos at times came under scrutiny over possible copyright strikes and claims but he was cleared of involving in any copyright infringement by ICC and Cricket Australia.
In March 2020, he received warnings from the International Cricket Council citing copyright violations and ICC urged him to immediately delete the footages from any ICC event from 1992 onwards including the 1992 Cricket World Cup, 1996 Cricket World Cup, 1999 Cricket World Cup. 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, 2003 Cricket World Cup, 2004 ICC Champions Trophy and 2006 ICC Champions Trophy. ICC initially warned of severe consequences if he failed to delete those video footages and ICC cautioned him that he would be risking himself for a formal action through YouTube and his account with the probability of being closed down. ICC suggested him to delete just over 100 cricket videos and later stated that it did not have any motives of closing his channel. This comes after ICC had announced overnight that it was planning to release its 45-year-old archive of match footage highlights to its broadcast partners and social media partners.
On 16 June 2020, his cricket video library was temporarily shut down by Twitter due to copyright concerns.
However, Cricket Australia came to his rescue insisting that he was sent an infringement notice due to an error by an agency.
He was largely responsible in providing a glimmer of hope to cricket audiences who were deprived of live international matches ever since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
His cricket related videos became more popular and viral among cricket fans especially during the onset of the pandemic when the international cricket was brought to a standstilll. As of 2021, his YouTube channel saw a rapid spike in subscribers and viewers with over 200, 000 subscribers and 249 million views for his videos since the pandemic induced lockdowns.
ESPN Cricinfo journalist Daniel Brettig in a tweet quoted saying "This guy doesn't profit from what he has done, brilliantly for years. There is only global demand for what he does because the world's broadcasters and boards have failed miserably to do anything serious about making their archives available to public.
A social media campaign was launched by Adam Collins and Geoff Lemon from The Final Word podcast in support of his voluntary services for the upliftment of the game and also demanded an Order of Australia honour for him in recognition of his services for the betterment of the sport.
He claims that he never makes money out of the YouTube content and he insists that he uploads cricket videos solely with the intention of fun and entertainment purposes which he also considers as a side hustle, a dream passion and a hobby for time pass.
He is a guitarist by profession and also teaches both electric guitar and acoustic steel-string guitar at the Modern Guitar Tuition in Box Hill, Melbourne. He also plays guitar and saxophone for Royal Caribbean cruises with The Australian INXS Show.

The 2003 Bass Pro Shops MBNA 500 was the 33rd stock car race of the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the third iteration of the event. The race was held over two days from Sunday, October 26, 2003, to Monday, October 27 due to rain on lap 39 on Sunday, forcing the delay of the event. The race was held on Hampton, Georgia at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a permanent asphalt quad-oval intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 325 laps to complete. At race's end, Hendrick Motorsports driver Jeff Gordon would win under caution when with three laps to go, Dale Earnhardt Jr. bumped Ryan Newman into the wall. The win was Gordon's 64th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series win, his third of the season, and his second
Background
Atlanta Motor Speedway (formerly Atlanta International Raceway) is a track in Hampton, Georgia, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It is a 1.54-mile (2.48 km) quad-oval track with a seating capacity of 111,000. It opened in 1960 as a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) standard oval. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two 1.5-mile (2.4 km) ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval. The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit.

The Jokermobile (also referred to as Joker-Mobile and Joker Mobile) is a specially designed automobile used by DC Comics supervillain Joker. The Jokermobile debuted in Batman #37 (October 1946), and was created by Jerry Robinson.
Publication history
The Jokermobile made its comic book debut in Batman #37 (October 1946), in which Joker was fed up with Batman's superior gadgetry that played a role in foiling his criminal plots and so decided to build a series of Joker-themed gadgets, like the Jokermobile, for example, his own themed vehicle, similar to Batman's Batmobile. The vehicle had some features that allowed the Joker to perform feats that not even the Batmobile could, such as creating a plank path to go through chasms and large holes. In addition to being white in color to resemble the Joker's skin, the Jokermobile was equipped with machine guns at the rear and front and was also bulletproof. However, this version of the vehicle was soon deactivated after Batman captured the Joker.
In Batman #52 (April 1949), Joker began using a second Jokermobile, designed as a Silver Arrow race car. Aside from having the Joker's face on the front, it is unknown if this version had any features like its predecessor. In World's Finest Comics #61 (November 1952), the Joker designed a third Jokermobile, which he used to move around Gotham City; he did not use this vehicle for any criminal activities in particular. Shortly afterward, the Joker returned to the first model of the Jokermobile in World's Finest Comics #88 (June 1957), and used it during his alliance with Lex Luthor in Metropolis. In The Joker #4 (December 1975), Joker then used the Jokermobile during his short-lived crime spree in Star City, where he kidnapped Dinah Laurel Lance (the second Black Canary). He was eventually stopped by Green Arrow, who caused the Joker to crash the Jokermobile on the Archway Bridge. The front of the vehicle was damaged, but it could still function. After that, Joker traveled to Wisconsin with the Jokermobile.
After a long period of inactivity, the Joker used his vehicle in Batman #321 (March 1980), to kidnap Commissioner Gordon and lure Batman into a trap. In The Brave and the Bold #191 (October 1982), the Joker then used his vehicle to get Batman's attention and stun him with a giant boxing glove that emerged from the trunk. The Jokermobile was retired in Gotham City Sirens (December 2009), when Joker started dating Harley Quinn. Eventually, he took it out for one last round per Harley's pleading, though it was permanently retired after he shot some teenagers for making fun of him in it.
In the "Joker War" storyline, Joker acquired the codes to the bank accounts of Batman's billionaire alter ego Bruce Wayne, which allowed the villain to steal the hero's fortune and resources, including a fleet of Batmobiles that he converted into Jokermobiles, in turn used by the Joker's henchmen to commit crimes and wreak havoc on Gotham. However, one Jokermobile in particular was used by the Joker for his own personal transport, this being a stretch SUV painted purple and with graffiti around it; Joker described its design as "the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen" before admitting that he loved the vehicle. Unlike previous Jokermobiles, this one was not driven by the Joker, but rather by a private driver, who took him to Ace Chemicals.
In other media
Television
Two variants of the Jokermobile are featured in the DC Animated Universe TV shows. The first appears in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Wild", where it is displayed in the titular Joker-themed casino. A second variant appears in episodes of The New Batman Adventures, notably "Joker's Millions" and "Beware the Creeper".
The Jokermobile is a recurring object used by Joker in Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
Films
In the 2016 DC Extended Universe film Suicide Squad, the Jokermobile is a light purple custom-built Infiniti G35 with a Vaydor frame modified by the Joker.
Video games
The Jokermobile is a playable vehicle in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and Lego DC Super-Villains.
A variant of the Jokermobile is featured in Batman: Arkham Knight. During the game's climax, Scarecrow injects Batman with a large dose of his fear toxin, causing the hero to hallucinate that he becomes the Joker and kills his other enemies (including Two-Face, Penguin, and Riddler) using a "Jokerized" version of the Batmobile.
In Batman: The Enemy Within, the vehicle is a car that "John Doe" steals whilst bringing Bruce Wayne to meet the Pact. If the player's choices influence John to become Vigilante Joker, he transforms the car into the Jokermobile, akin to Batman's Batmobile. In a fight with a Venom-powered Bane, the player can choose to have Batman ram it into him. Later in the episode, he, James Gordon and Tiffany Fox can inspect the Jokermobile for clues to Joker's whereabouts after he kidnaps Amanda Waller.

Mephistopheles & Margaretta is a 19th century "double sculpture" which has two distinct sides: the obverse representing the image of a Mephistopheles (an agent of Satan), and the reverse woman (Margaretta). Both images can be seen when a mirror is placed behind the statue. The sculpture is based on two characters from an 1808 play (Faust) by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Background
The Mephistopheles & Margaretta sculpture was acquired in France by Mir Turab Ali Khan, Salar Jung I in 1876. It is a wooden statue which depicts the 1808 theatrical play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called Faust. The story which is told by the sculpture is of a man who sold his soul to Satan and then lost his love. The sculpture resides in the Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad, India. The museum is one of the most visited in India, and claims one million visitors annually.
Summary of Faust
The sculpture is based on the story of Faust and represents the good and evil in the Faust story.. In the story Faust is frustrated with his life so he attempts suicide. He calls for Satan's help: Mephistopheles (agent of Satan) responds. Faust is told he can have the use of magic for several years but after the term Faust would forfeit his soul and become enslaved forever.
Faust agreed and as one of his requests for magic, Mephistopheles seduces young woman named Gretchen for Faust. The young woman is impregnated by Faust and gives birth to his bastard son. Gretchen realizes the evil in the situation and so drowns the child and is held in jail on murder charges. Gretchen is executed but is allowed to go to heaven. Faust is also saved by God because of Gretchen's pleadings.
Sculpture
The 19th century sculpture was created by an unknown French sculptor and is it was carved into a block of sycamore wood. The front side is a depiction of a confident and arrogant Mephistopheles (the devil's agent). He wears a hood and boots and his long face wears a smirk. The backside image is of Gretchen (Margaretta) with her head bowed. She appears as a simple girl with downcast eyes.
It is carved from one single block of wood and it is best viewed with a mirror placed behind the statue so that the viewer can see both images at once. The dichotomy of good and evil is completed with the innocence of the female figure which is carved into the back of the devil's agent: a demure woman holding a prayer book in her hand.

Schloss Westerhaus is the largest estate in Rheinhessen. It is located on the Westerberg (Rheinhessen) near Großwinternheim borough of Ingelheim am Rhein. Today it is a well-known VDP winery and is run by the fourth generation. The vineyards consist of ancient shell limestone rocks and the winery's wine cellar is carved into the mountain, which is reminiscent of a stalactite cave in appearance, but is ideally suited as wine cellar. Weingut Schloss Westerhaus is a member of the Verband Deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitätsweingüter.
History
In 1408, there is a first documentary mention of a ′Hus und ecker uff deme Westirberge′. It is assumed that the actual foundation dates back much longer and is connected with the foundation of Charlemagne's imperial palace in Ingelheim in the 8th century. The Rhineland-Palatinate General Directorate for Cultural Heritage assigns the first mention in its list of cultural monuments in Ingelheim am Rhein to the year 1190. The Counts of Bolanden and Ingelheim resided in Westerhaus mansion for over 600 years. As a fief of the Electorate of Palatinate, Schloss Westerhaus was owned by the Counts of Ingelheim for over 400 years until it was expropriated by French Revolutionary troops at the beginning of the 19th century.
On 4 October 1900, Heinrich Opel from Rüsselsheim, one of Adam Opel's five sons, acquired the estate in order to develop it into a model estate. His wife Emilie was one of several daughters of the Grand Ducal Hessian economist Friedrich Weber (1841–1917), tenant of the Hessian state domain Mönchhof near Kelsterbach and later owner of the Petersau estate.
At that time, the Westerhaus was difficult to reach and hard to farm. All supplies had to be transported by horse and ox cart up and down the Westerberg to the farmstead. A stiff westerly wind and the skeletal soil made farming difficult. The construction of a road began in 1916, when the military government of the Fortress of Mainz wanted to build another line of defence parallel to the Mainzer Berg; the Selzstellung was the last and most expensive defensive ring built for the fortress. First, a route was laid from Altegasse, Ingelheim, up to Westerhaus, and then the construction of a rack railway began. The aim was to protect the Westerberg to the east with ditches and fortifications against the French Third Republic. The railway was completed, but the fortification belt was not, as the military changed their plans. The railway was therefore removed again.
Heinrich von Opel had this route converted into a private road in 1920. His daughter Irmgard von Opel later provided an asphalt layer. The road was called the rackwheel-Chaussee for a long time afterwards. The appearance of the two-part complex with its castle courtyard and service yard is characterised by the conversion and extension work carried out between 1922 and 1927. The castle-like mansard hipped-roof building from the 1920s can be seen from afar in the valley. The ensemble is complemented by a terraced park with a water basin and enclosure. Among the outbuildings is a stepped gable building, probably built in the 16th or 17th century. Its stair tower and wine press house date from 1922. The massive barn with mansard roof was also built in the 1920s.
With the acquisition of the Eulenmühle mill and mill stream in the Selz Valley, the Opels secured water rights. The water was pumped up the mountain. The resulting irrigation and new agricultural methods such as deep ploughing and the first mechanisation significantly increased the economic success. For several years there was even a dwarf school at Westerhaus Castle, where eight children from four grades were taught. During the Second World War, a war hospital for horses and soldiers from all sides was established under the leadership of Irmgard von Opel. As a result, Schloss Westerhaus was never bombed.
The estate includes a stud farm with a striking indoor riding arena. In the 1930s, Irmgard von Opel was probably the best rider in the world at that time in cross-country riding and show jumping. She won many competitions at home and abroad, and in 1934 she was the first woman to win the German show jumping derby in Klein-Flottbek (now part of Hamburg) with her grey horse Nanuk. The Westerberg Stud monument zone was founded in 1912. It is characterised by park-like open spaces, paddocks and riding arenas surrounded by old trees. The loosened-up stately neo-baroque building group was essentially built between 1920 and the beginning of the 1930s. Today, the Westerberg Stud is one of the best thoroughbred studs in Germany.
Vineyards and wine
Today, the Schloss Westerhaus wine estate is the best-known part of the estate. In 1978, Heinz von Opel and his wife Claudia took over the Westerberg and since 1979 have opened it more and more to the public. They planted trees and invited walkers to enjoy the view from the hill and laid out a wine trail.
Since 2008, Ivonne Countess von Schönburg-Glauchau (née von Opel) and her husband Johannes Count von Schönburg-Glauchau have been the fourth generation to run the Schloss Westerhaus wine estate. The jazz events and the traditional 3-day courtyard festival at Whitsun, which are held in the grounds of the castle, are well-known and popular beyond the region. The Schloss Westerhaus wine estate is also part of the popular Ingelheim Red Wine Festival. Since 2019, the castle has also been the venue for the Rheingau Musik Festival.
The winery cultivates a total of 18 hectares of vineyards in the monopole Ingelheimer Schloss Westerhaus , as well as in the Sonnenhang, Schlossberg, Sonnenberg and Klostergarten sites. The soil and the entire Westerberg hill derived from primordial seas. A limestone reef with a thickness of 90 meters covered by 50 centimeters soil is the backbone of the terroir. Even today, shells and snails from millions of years ago can be found in the vineyard. 70% of the vineyard area is planted with Burgundy varieties, 30% with Riesling. Since 1983, the winery has been organised in the VDP, the Association of German Prädikat and Quality Wineries, in the regional association of Rheinhessen. Heinz von Opel, who died in 2006, was a board member of the VDP Rheinhessen and vice-president of the VDP federal association. The wines are characterised by their freshness and minerality.
Reception
