Noah's Ark is a tempera painting by Theodore Poulakis. Poulakis was a Greek Baroque painter and teacher. He was a member of both the Late Cretan School and the Heptanese School. He is often regarded as the father of the Heptanese School. He was active from 1635 to 1692. By the age of 24, he was living in Venice. He stayed in the city for thirteen years. He was involved in local politics. He frequently traveled all over the Ionian Islands and settled in Corfu. He also regularly returned to Venice. Over 130 of his paintings have survived and can be found all over the world.
Greek painters followed the traditional maniera greca. Their art was heavily influenced by Venetian painting. Another important characteristic in Greek art during the Baroque and Rococo periods was the migration to engravings. Some painters used Italian, Dutch and Flemish engravings as their inspiration. Some of the engravers were Cornelis Cort, Adriaen Collaert, Hieronymus Wierix, Jan Wierix, Hendrick Goltzius, and Francesco Villamena. Noah's Ark was influenced by an engraving of Jan Sadeler. Two other notable engravers from the same family were Raphael Sadeler I, and Aegidius Sadeler II.
Noah's Ark was an extremely popular theme used by countless artists. A popular version was finished by Flemish painter Maerten de Vos. Jan Sadeler used the painting as a prototype for one of his popular engravings entitled Noah's Ark. Poulakis used the engraving as a model for his version of Noah's Ark. Jan Sadeler and his family moved to Venice from Antwerp. They had an active workshop during the later part of the 1500s and early 1600s. Many Greek and Italian painters were exposed to their work. Jan Sadeler brought Flemish art to the Greek and Italian world of painting. Konstantinos Tzanes's painting Mary Magdalene used one of Jan Sadeler's engravings as the model for his work. Mary Magdalene and Noah's Ark are part of the collection of the Hellenic Institute of Venice.
Description
The painting is egg tempera and gold leaf on a wood panel. The height of the work is 81 cm (31.9 in) and the width is 63.5 cm (25 in). Both the works of Maerten de Vos and Jan Sadeler share common characteristics with Poulaki's work. Poulaki's painting more closely resembles Jan Sadeler's engraving. Both works feature similar figures. The major differences are the upper central figure of God. The figures also appear larger in Poulaki's painting. God is surrounded by angel heads atop wings. He is covered in a red drapery. His majestic garment floats in space, it is painted in rich detail. The folds of fabric are clearly visible. The artists used an advanced shadowing method.
Noah and his wife are in the foreground. The artist demonstrates a mixture of Flemish, Italian and Greek art prevalent at that time. Noah's wife Naamah holds a pillow under her right arm as she points to the ark and looks sternly into Noah's eyes. The garments were influenced by the clothing of the Ionian Islands and Venice.
Naamah's garment is decorated with ornate tassels. Noah and his wife are wearing fashionably trendy hats. Noah is carrying a very important book under his left arm. Behind the main figures are their relatives. The entourage exited a massive palace. They are headed towards the ark. The two figures behind Noah both look into each other's eyes. The man has an elaborately decorated vase on his head. The woman's hair is braided. She holds an urn in her left hand. The remaining four figures to our left, closer to the animals are carrying important items to the ark. There are eight human figures in total.
The animals are a mixture of elephants, camels, wild cats, snakes, rabbits, turkeys, and other creatures. The animals that stand out the most are the two unicorns on the platform entering the ark, one is white and the other brown. The ark, castle, and figures reflect the painting's complex three-dimensional characteristics. An elaborate mixture of birds are flying over the ark. The Greek inscription sais: "ΧΕΙΡ ΘΕΟΔΩΡΟΥ ΠΟΥΛΑΚΗ, ΝΩΕ ΤΟΥΣ ΙΔΙΟΥΣ ΣΥΓΓΕΝΕΙΣ Κ[ΑΙ] ΤΑ ΖΩΑ ΕΙΣ ΤΗΝ ΚΙΒΩΤΟΝ ΕΙΣΑΓΩΝ" (By the hand of Theodore Poulakis Noah and his Relatives with Animals Enter the Ark).
The icon has a detailed history. The painting was cataloged in 1700. It belonged to the Greek Brotherhood of Venice. It was completed sometime during the later part of the 1600s. The work was also cataloged in 1770, 1847, and 1882. In 1904, the catalog mentions the work was a painting on wood created by Theodoros Poulakis. The icon's signature was authenticated in 1949. The 1949 catalog also revealed that the painting was located in the conference room of the Greek Brotherhood of Venice.

In engineering, a solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, using an electromagnet formed from a coil of wire. The device creates a magnetic field from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. In electromagnetic technology, a solenoid is an actuator assembly with a sliding ferromagnetic plunger inside the coil. Without power, the plunger extends for part of its length outside the coil; applying power pulls the plunger into the coil. Electromagnets with fixed cores are not considered solenoids. In simple terms, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work. Typically, it has a multiturn coil of magnet wire surrounded by a frame, which is also a magnetic flux carrier to enhance its efficiency. In engineering, the term may also refer to a variety of transducer devices that convert energy into linear motion, more sophisticated than simple two–position actuators. The term "solenoid" also often refers to a solenoid valve, an integrated device containing an electromechanical solenoid which actuates either a pneumatic or hydraulic valve, or a solenoid switch, which is a specific type of relay that internally uses an electromechanical solenoid to operate an electrical switch; for example, an automobile starter solenoid or linear solenoid. Solenoid bolts, a type of electromechanical locking mechanism, also exist.
Applications
Electromechanical solenoid
Electromechanical solenoids consist of an electromagnetically inductive coil, wound around a movable steel or iron slug (termed the armature). The coil is shaped such that the armature can be moved in and out of the space in the center of the coil, altering the coil's inductance and thereby becoming an electromagnet. The movement of the armature is used to provide a mechanical force to some mechanism, such as controlling a solenoid valve. Although typically weak over anything but very short distances, solenoids may be controlled directly by a controller circuit, and thus have very quick reaction times.
The force applied to the armature is proportional to the change in inductance of the coil with respect to the change in position of the armature and the current flowing through the coil (see Faraday's law of induction). The force applied to the armature will always move the armature in a direction that increases the coil's inductance.
Electromechanical solenoids are commonly seen in electronic paintball markers, pinball machines, dot matrix printers, and fuel injectors. Some residential doorbells make use of electromechanical solenoids, whereby electrification of the coil causes the armature to strike metal chime bars.
Push and pull solenoids
Push and pull solenoids are common catalog items, usually in a tubular construction. They consist of a bobbin-wound coil, steel plunger, cylindrical case and end pieces, one of which is a stator pole. Each type is similar to the other in construction except that the pull type has means for attaching to the plunger and pulls the attached load toward the solenoid. The push type has a push-pin projecting out of the solenoid to push the load away from the solenoid. Magnetically they are the same; i.e., internally the magnetic field attracts the plunger toward the stator pole piece. Most solenoids do not use magnetic repulsion between the magnetic pole and plunger to do the pushing except in rare instances. Some permanent magnet types operate by simultaneous attraction and repulsion of the plunger in the same direction in order to actuate (and are bi-directonal by reversing the coil's electrical polarity). Common push or pull solenoids move in one direction only upon being energized. A spring or other means is required to move the plunger to its de-energized position. Other constructions utilize a C or D shaped frame of bent flat steel and the coil may be visible. The efficiency of these types are due to their steel outer frames which enclose the magnetic flux around the coil (end to end) to focus the flux at the air gap between the plunger and stator pole.
Proportional solenoid
Included in this category of solenoids are the uniquely designed magnetic circuits that effect analog positioning of the solenoid plunger or armature as a function of coil current. These solenoids, whether axial or rotary, employ a flux carrying geometry that both produces a high starting force (torque), and has a section that quickly begins to saturate magnetically. The resulting force (torque) profile as the solenoid progresses through its operational stroke is nearly flat or descends from a high to a lower value. The solenoid can be useful for positioning, stopping mid-stroke, or for low velocity actuation; especially in a closed loop control system. A uni-directional solenoid would actuate against an opposing force or a dual solenoid system would be self cycling. The proportional concept is more fully described in SAE publication 860759 (1986).
Focusing of the magnetic field and its attendant flux metering, as illustrated in the SAE paper, is required to produce a high starting force at the start of the solenoid stroke and to maintain a level or declining force as the solenoid moves through its displacement range. This is quite contrary to that experienced with normal diminishing air gap types of solenoids. The focusing of the magnetic field to the working air gap initially produces a high mmf (ampere turns) and relatively low flux level across the air gap. This high product of mmf x flux (read energy) produces a high starting force. As the plunger is incremented (ds) the energy of motion, F∙ds, is extracted from the air gap energy. Inherent with the plunger increment of motion, the air gap permeance increases slightly, the magnetic flux increases, the mmf across the air gap decreases slightly; all of which results in maintaining a high product of mmf x flux. Because of the increased flux level a rise in ampere-turns drops elsewhere in the ferrous circuit (predominately in the pole geometry) causes the reduction of air gap ampere-turns and, therefore, the reduced potential energy of the field at the air gap. Further incrementing of the plunger causes a continuing decrease of the solenoid force thus creating an ideal condition for motion control as controlled by the current to the solenoid coil. The aforementioned pole geometry, having a linearly changing path area, produces a nearly linear change in force. An opposing spring force or a dual ended solenoid (two coils) allows over and back motion control. Closed loop control improves the linearity and stiffness of the system.
Rotary solenoid
The rotary solenoid is an electromechanical device used to rotate a ratcheting mechanism when power is applied. These were used in the 1950s for rotary snap-switch automation in electromechanical controls. Repeated actuation of the rotary solenoid advances the snap-switch forward one position. Two rotary actuators on opposite ends of the rotary snap-switch shaft, can advance or reverse the switch position.
The rotary solenoid has a similar appearance to a linear solenoid, except that the armature core is mounted in the center of a large flat disk, with three inclined raceways coined into the underside of the disk. These grooves align with raceways on the solenoid body, separated by ball bearings in the races.
When the solenoid is activated, the armature core is magnetically attracted toward the stator pole, and the disk rotates on the ball bearings in the races as it moves towards the coil body. When power is removed, a spring on the disk rotates it back to its starting position both rotationally and axially.
The rotary solenoid was invented in 1944 by George H. Leland, of Dayton, Ohio, to provide a more reliable and shock/vibration tolerant release mechanism for air-dropped bombs. Previously used linear (axial) solenoids were prone to inadvertent releases. U.S. Patent number 2,496,880 describes the electromagnet and inclined raceways that are the basis of the invention. Leland's engineer, Earl W. Kerman, was instrumental in developing a compatible bomb release shackle that incorporated the rotary solenoid. Bomb shackles of this type are found in a B-29 aircraft fuselage on display at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, Ohio. Solenoids of this variety continue to be used in countless modern applications and are still manufactured under Leland's original brand "Ledex", now owned by Johnson Electric.
Appearing on the market in the 1980s, the solely rotary solenoid with a balanced 3-lobed iron vane rotor offered improved vibration isolation by eliminating the axial motion of the rotor. This device allowed proportional, quiet positioning as well as a rapid rotation for uses such as mail sorters and conveyor gating. Then followed a permanent magnet rotor version (U.S. Patent 5,337,030; 1994 ) that provided rapid, electrical, bi-directional rotation.
Rotary voice coil
A rotary voice coil is a rotational version of a solenoid. Typically the fixed magnet is on the outside, and the coil part moves in an arc controlled by the current flow through the coils. Rotary voice coils are widely employed in devices such as disk drives. The working part of a moving coil meter is also a type of rotary voice coil that pivots around the pointer axis, a hairspring is usually used to provide a weak nearly linear restoring force.
Pneumatic solenoid valve
A pneumatic solenoid valve is a switch for routing air to any pneumatic device, usually an actuator, allowing a relatively small signal to control a large device. It is also the interface between electronic controllers and pneumatic systems.
Hydraulic solenoid valve
Hydraulic solenoid valves are in general similar to pneumatic solenoid valves except that they control the flow of hydraulic fluid (oil), often at around 3000 psi (210 bar, 21 MPa, 21 MN/m2). Hydraulic machinery uses solenoids to control the flow of oil to rams or actuators. Solenoid-controlled valves are often used in irrigation systems, where a relatively weak solenoid opens and closes a small pilot valve, which in turn activates the main valve by applying fluid pressure to a piston or diaphragm that is mechanically coupled to the main valve.
Solenoids are also in everyday household items such as washing machines to control the flow and amount of water into the drum.
Transmission solenoids control fluid flow through an automatic transmission and are typically installed in the transmission valve body.
Automobile starter solenoid
In a car or truck, the starter solenoid is part of an automobile engine's ignition system. The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on (i.e. when the key is turned to start the car), the small electric current forces the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying the large electric current to the starter motor. This is a type of relay.
Starter solenoids can also be built into the starter itself, often visible on the outside of the starter. If a starter solenoid receives insufficient power from the battery, it will fail to start the motor and may produce a rapid, distinctive "clicking" or "clacking" sound. This can be caused by a low or dead battery, by corroded or loose connections to the battery, or by a broken or damaged positive (red) cable from the battery. Any of these will result in some power to the solenoid, but not enough to hold the heavy contacts closed, so the starter motor itself never spins, and the engine fails to start.

Raymond S. Thatcher (January 10, 1903 – October 5, 1988) was an American politician and pharmacist who served a total of six terms as Connecticut State Comptroller between 1946 and 1966. A Democrat from East Hampton, Thatcher also served in the Connecticut House of Representatives and as a public utilities commissioner during his 40-year-long political career.
Early life and career
Thatcher was born in Thompson, Connecticut, to Methodist minister Samuel Thatcher and Amelia (Fear) Thatcher. The family lived in Sterling and Pascoag before settling in Jewett City in 1917. He attended public schools in Jewett City and Middletown High School and graduated from East Greenwich Academy in 1922. He opened a pharmacy in East Hampton in 1929.
Thatcher began his political career in town politics. He served as East Hampton's Democratic town committee chair from 1934 to 1955 and also served on the Democratic State Central Committee during the 1940s. He served as East Hampton's elected town treasurer from 1934 to 1936. He joined the East Hampton Board of Finance in 1947, serving until 1953.
Thatcher represented East Hampton in the Connecticut House of Representatives in the 1941 and 1943 legislative sessions. He was a member of the House's appropriations committee, finance advisory committee, and legislative council.
Thatcher worked as deputy state comptroller from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1946.
Career as comptroller
In May 1946, Comptroller John M. Dowe died unexpectedly, and the Connecticut General Assembly appointed Thatcher to fill the vacancy effective May 20, 1946. He ran for a full term but lost the election to Republican nominee Fred R. Zeller and exited office in January 1947. He defeated Zeller in a rematch in 1948 and served one full term as comptroller from 1949 to 1951.
Between Thatcher's terms as comptroller, Governor Abraham Ribicoff appointed him to serve on the Connecticut Public Utilities Commission in 1955 and to serve as a state auditor in 1956. Thatcher returned to politics to win four consecutive elections as comptroller, serving from 1959 to 1966. He was also a delegate to the Connecticut Constitutional Convention in 1965.
He resigned as comptroller on July 19, 1966, to resume his service as public utilities commissioner. Governor John Dempsey appointed James J. Casey, a Democrat and former mayor of Winchester, to fill the remaining six months of Thatcher's term. Thatcher retired in 1975 when the public utilities commission was replaced by the Public Utilities Control Authority.
Personal life
Thatcher married Beatrice Howard of Deep River in 1931. The couple had one daughter, Carole E. Thatcher.
Thatcher died at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown on October 5, 1988. His wife had died in 1977.

Paris Centre is an administrative division of Paris encompassing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th arrondissements of the city.
In August 2016, ministers Jean-Michel Baylet, Bernard Cazeneuve and Estelle Grelier proposed reforms to the territorial division of Paris. The law was passed by the Senate in November and the National Assembly in February 2017. The reform grouped the first four arrondissements in political terms. Demographic changes meant that they had previously been overrepresented by over 20% in the city council in terms of population per seat, but the new entity had 101,764 inhabitants and eight seats, making it one seat per 12,720 inhabitants, 7% underrepresentation.
In October 2018, an referendum was held for the 66,791 registered voters in the territory, to choose a name. Paris Centre got 56.7% of the votes, Cœur de Paris (Heart of Paris) 31.8%, Paris 1234 got 9% and Premiers arrondissements de Paris (First arrondissements of Paris) got 2.5%. When asked where the authorities should be headquartered, 50.7% chose the 3rd arrondissement's municipal hall over the 4th, with the other two being too small to be proposed.
Paris Centre was first involved in municipal elections in 2020. Ariel Weil of the Socialist Party (PS) was elected mayor, having been the last mayor of the 4th arronidssement.

Orphan Knoll is a undersea peak, horst and contiental fragment located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northeast coast of Newfoundland, with mounds on it rising up to 1800 meters from the surface. It was above sea level in the Middle Jurassic Period, and was left behind when Europe and Labrador separated during the formation of the North Atlantic, thus giving the peak its name. Due to its isolation, it is a hotspot for marine life and is home to corals, sponges, and endemics.

Ashby-de-la-Zouch Town Hall is a municipal building in Market Street in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England. The structure, which was used as the offices of Ashby-de-la-Zouch Urban District Council, is a Grade II listed building. The market hall, which is located behind the town hall, is separately listed.
History
In the first half of the 19th century, petty session hearings were held in a detached building in the grounds of the George Inn in Market Street. After finding this arrangement unsatisfactory, a group of local business leaders decided to form a company to commission a purpose-built complex for holding public meetings, court hearings and markets. The new complex was designed by Henry Isaac Stevens in the Italianate style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1857.
The design of the town hall, which was at the front of the complex, involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto Market Street. The ground floor, which was rusticated, featured an elliptical opening with a keystone, which provided access to the market hall and was flanked by two sash windows. The first floor was fenestrated by sash windows with brackets supporting cornices; these windows were flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature, a modillioned cornice and a balustrade. Internally, the principal room was the assembly room on the first floor, which became the local venue for both petty session hearings and county court hearings. In October 1859, it was also consecrated as the home of the local freemasons' lodge in the presence of the Provincial Grand Master, Earl Howe. The building was described in Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer as a "noble edifice". The other main part of the complex, the market hall, extended back for 14 bays behind the town hall.
Following a significant increase in population, largely associated with the leather working industry, the area became an urban district with the town hall as its headquarters in 1894. The town hall then continued to serve as the meeting place of the urban district council and as a local venue for civic events for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged North West Leicestershire District Council was formed in 1974. The town hall was subsequently converted for retail use with the first floor room later becoming the showroom of a picture framing business.

Ông cố vấn: Hồ sơ một điệp viên (Mr. Advisor: Records of an espionage agent) is a non-fiction historical novel written by Hữu Mai. The novel recorded the life and activities of Vũ Ngọc Nhạ, an intelligence agent of People's Army of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Nhạ is the organizer of the A.22 espionage network, and was know with the name Ông cố vấn (Mr. Advisor) due to his cover as an advisory member of the Saigon government.
The novel was first published in 1987 by the People's Army Publishing House in three volumes. It was reprinted several times by various publishing house, the most recent publish were reorganized in two volumes.
The novel was adapted in to a film with the same name during the 1990s.
Content
The novel opened with a brief description shocking espionage case of Vũ Ngọc Nhạ and his colleagues in the A.22 network in 1969. The novel's author then proclaimed about the objective of the book as a non-fiction historical novel:
The novel went back to the year of 1958, when the character Vũ Ngọc Nhạ, at the moment was named as Hai Long, was living with his family near Thị Nghè market, Saigon, as a typewriter in Ministry of Public Works. However he was arrested by the Delegation of Special Task in Central Vietnam and was jailed at Toà Khâm, Huế due to being suspected as communist. He tried his best to hide his identity as an intelligence agent of Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and received vital instruction from his direct superior Trần Quốc Hương who was also jailed here. Due to proper preparation and strong assistance of well-know established Catholic figures, especially priest Hoàng Quỳnh, Hai Long was freed from any charges but he was still imprisoned unofficially.
Using his understanding of the uneasy relationship between Ngô Đình Diệm family and the pro-French Catholic figures like Bishop Lê Hữu Từ and priest Hoàng Quỳnh, Hai Long wrote an essay named "Four dangers threantened our regime" and submitted to Ngô Đình Cẩn, the leader of Central Vietnam at that time. Hai Long's essay, together with his accurate prediction of the unsuccessful 1960 coup, managed to attract the attention of Cẩn, and later both Ngô Đình Nhu and Ngô Đình Diệm. The Ngô family released him from the jail after two years of imprisonment, and Ngô Đình Nhu took he back to Saigon as his personal advisor. Hai Long exploit his close relationship with both Ngô family and Catholic clergy to gather the information needed for his espionage mission.
Ngô Đình Diệm regime collapsed after the 1963 coup and Saigon politics fell into great turmoil due to the power struggle between the politicians and military leaders took part in the coup. Hai Long worked at Bình An Parish as a close assistant of priest Hoàng Quỳnh and became a well-known Catholic figure, respected by both the politician and the Catholic clergy. In 1965, Hai Long agreed to assist Nguyễn Văn Thiệu election campaign as an envoy between Thiệu and Catholic electorates, and later became Thiệu's advisor after Thiệu won the President election. Hai Long together with his colleagues Thắng, Hoè, Ruật, Trọng, Năm Sang,... organized an espionage network named A.22, using their influence and political connection for espionage activities. They assist the Liberation Army's 1968 Tết Offensive. Under the guise of preparing for a diplomatic mission to the United States, Trọng managed to get the files and documents of America's pacification plans against the Liberation Army in 1968–1969 and other information about contemporary U.S. politics.
Hai Long and his A.22 teammates also detected signs showed that they had been suspected by the enemy's counter-intelligence. His colleagues in the government and Catholic population also warned him about the threat from CIA. Thắng proposed secretly killed all the enemy agents monitoring them, but Hai Long refused since it would alarmed the CIA. All members decided to keep working as usual, while secretly withdrew and relocated several members to increase the cover and safety for the network. However Hai Long and most of A.22 network was arrested in July 1969. He was brutally tortured by Saigon police and CIA agents for days but refused to say anything. His tenacity gained the respect of the Vietnamese policemen and the anger of the revengeful CIA agents. Outside of the jail, Catholic figures and other politicians were strongly protesting the arrest and expressed their support for Hai Long. During the imprisonment, he managed to made contact with several of A.22 teammates and other supporters of the Liberation Army. One of them informed Hai Long of President Hồ Chí Minh's death.
Hai Long and his A.22 teammate decided to make a counter-move to turn the tide of the situation. He admitted he worked with the Liberation Army, but explained that was due to his loyal to the Catholic Church and the 2nd Vatican Council which he believed was supporting peace and unification for Vietnam. His teammates then claimed to know nothing of Hai Long's relationship with the Liberation Army and only carried out the missions out of respect for Hai Long and for his ideas. They presented the information and proof of the involvement of well-known statesmen and politicians with Hai Long and their activities.They also made use of the court to exposed the political conflicts inside Saigon government and their U.S. allied, turned the espionage case into a political case, and promoted the idea of peace and unification for Vietnam. The affair quickly deteriotated from a CIA "victory" to a political mess. CIA attempted to get out of the turmoil by proposing Hai Long to admit that he worked for CIA, but was frustrated by Hai Long's immediate refusal.
A.22 counter-attack was successful. None of the member was sentenced to death. Nhạ was sentenced to penal servitude for life. The A.22 case sowed distrust inside Saigon political arena.
Hai Long was kept at the interrogation facilities for a time and then was sent to Chí Hoà prison, and in 1971 he was sent to Côn Đảo prison with Trọng and Thắng. He had good relationship with the prison wardens and was visited by well-known Catholic figures and politicians, including priest Hoàng Quỳnh, Chaplain O'Connor, general Lewis William Walt. Even Nguyễn Văn Thiệu sent his envoy to ask for Hai Long's assistance. On 25 June 1971, a Vatican Ambassador presented Hai Long the merit certification and medal that the Pope awarded him for his contributions to the Catholic Church. He also continued his intelligence mission together with former A.22 members and other supporters of the Liberation Army in the prison. They gather information and images of the brutality and crimes against the prisoners. They also gather all the data of the political prisoners in Côn Đảo, exposing Nguyễn Văn Thiệu's lies about the prisoners numbers and his scheme to violate the Paris Peace Accord in releasing political prisoners.
The Saigon government sent Hai Long and Trọng back to Chí Hoà in 1973, and released Hai Long to the Liberation Army in the same year under the name of "Liberation Priest". The Liberation Army verified Hai Long identity and recognized his military rank. In April 1974 Hai Long was sent back to Củ Chi to organized a new intelligence network. He re-established the connection with priest Hoàng Quỳnh, with other Catholic figures and politicians in the "Third Forces" who supported the reconciliation with the Liberation Army. He secretly relocated to the Inner City of Saigon in 1975 to monitor the situation, and he witnessed the last moment of Saigon government in the Independence Palace on 30 April 1975.
The novel returned to the date of September 1987, described the author's conversation with all living A.22 members in an anniversary meeting in Hai Long's house (now named as Hai Nhạ). The author commented that the A.22 members were very similar in a mysterious way.

Dudleya cymosa subsp. marcescens is a species of summer-deciduous succulent plant known commonly as the marcescent dudleya or marcescent liveforever. Throughout the months of spring, it is characterized by a bloom of small, bright-yellow flowers with 5 petals, tinged with orange or red. It is a leaf succulent with a basal rosette, with the foliage withering in summer, going completely leafless, a neotenous trait in the genus. This species is endemic to the exposed volcanic rock of the Santa Monica Mountains in California, being found on shady slopes and outcroppings. It differs from its local congeners with its deciduous habit, slender caudex, and narrower leaf shape, although it is superseded in some of these characteristics by Dudleya parva, growing 13 km to the north, which has even narrower leaves and is quicker to lose them. Because of its restricted distribution and small size, it is vulnerable to habitat degradation and disturbance from acts of graffiti and rock climbers. It is listed as threatened by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Description
Vegetative morphology
Like most other species of Dudleya, this plant grows from a caudex, used in this context interchangeably with the stem, with rosettes forming on the meristem on the apex of each stem. The stem is in width, and may sometimes branch to form multiple rosettes, but generally plants have a solitary one. The rosettes are typically wide, covered in succulent leaves. The leaves are deciduous, and wither in the early summer, not being replaced until after the first rains. Each leaf is long by wide, with an elliptic to elliptic-ovate shape and an acute tip. The leaves may sometimes be covered with a glaucous epicuticular wax, and have a papery texture during the summer months when dry. If a leaf is removed from the plant, it may leave a wound that turns purple-red at the base.
Reproductive morphology
The inflorescence structure in the genus Dudleya is a cyme, in which the central flowers open prior to the peripheral ones. This species has an inflorescence that is more or less asymmetrical radially. The peduncle is in height, and in width. There are 5 to 15 bracts, which are the modified leaves found on the inflorescence, and the lower bracts are plump. The inflorescence branches up to 2 times, with each terminal branch long, holding 3 to 5 flowers. The petals are wide, and colored a bright yellow that is marked with orange or red. Flowering is typically in spring, often occurring from May to June.
Taxonomy
This species was first described by botanist Reid Moran in his 1957 paper "Innovations in Dudleya." Chromosome counts conducted by him and Charles Uhl placed this plant as a diploid with n = 17 chromosomes, which justified his placement of the taxa as a subspecies of Dudleya cymosa. Moran notes that it is a very distinct subspecies, but it is in some respects similar to the local congener Dudleya cymosa subsp. ovatifolia.
This species is unique among the Dudleya because of its deciduous habit, which is not commonly seen with the wide-leaved members of the genus. The only other member with a similar habit is the local Dudleya parva, which occurs 13 km to the north. Compared to this species, D. parva has paler yellow petals, narrower leaves, much shorter pedicels, and loses its leaves much quicker. Both are diploids.
It is believed that the unusual deciduous habit of Dudleya parva and this species is a neotenous trait, which is common in the genus with other taxa like Dudleya blochmaniae and Dudleya variegata. This neoteny is carried to the most extreme limit by Dudleya brevifolia, whose adult rosette leaves are the same as the juvenile leaves encountered across the genus.
Distribution and habitat
This species is endemic to California in the United States, where it is found in the Santa Monica Mountains and Malibu Creek area. It is restricted to thin soils on exposed volcanic substrates, from . Plants of this species are typically found on north-facing shaded slopes and outcroppings, growing with moss and lichens. The habitat of this species is threatened by growing degradation, and by disturbances caused from recreational activities, particularly in Malibu Creek State Park. These disturbances are often from people making graffiti and rock climbers, who tear out the moss and lichens vital to the habitat. Because of this, it is listed as a threatened species by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

Wilson Chinn ( 1863), was an escaped American slave who became known as the subject of photographs documenting the extensive use of torture received in slavery. The "branded slave" photograph of Chinn, a former slave from Louisiana, with forehead branded with the initials of his owner, Volsey B. Marmillion, wearing a punishment collar and posing with other equipment used to punish slaves, became one of the most widely circulated photos of the abolitionist movement during the American Civil War and remains one of the most famous photos of that era. The New York Times writer Joan Paulson Gage, noted, "The images of Wilson Chinn in chains, like the one of Gordon and his scarred back, are as disturbing today as they were in 1863. They serve as two of the earliest and most dramatic examples of how the newborn medium of photography could change the course of history."
Escape and arrival at Union camp
Abolitionist, civil rights activist, and colonel in the American Civil War, George H. Hanks, wrote to George William Curtis, then editor of Harper's: "The group of emancipated slaves whose portraits I send you were brought by Colonel Hanks and Mr. Phillip Bacon from New Orleans, where they were set free by General Butler. Mr. Bacon went to New Orleans with our army, and was for eighteen months employed as Assistant-Superintendent of Freedmen, under the care of Colonel Hanks. He established the first school in Louisiana for emancipated slaves, and these children were among his pupils. He will soon return to Louisiana to resume his labor."
In an article titled “Emancipated Slaves White and Colored,” Harper’s Weekly introduces Chinn's escape from slavery: “Wilson Chinn is about 60 years old. He was ‘raised’ by Isaac Howard of Woodford Country, Kentucky. When 21 years old he was taken down the river and sold to Volsey B. Marmillion, a sugar planter about 45 miles above New Orleans. This man was accustomed to brand his negroes, and Wilson has on his forehead the letters ‘V.B.M.’ Of the 210 slaves on this plantation 105 left at one time and came into the Union camp. Thirty of them had been branded like cattle with a hot iron, four of them on the forehead, and the others on the breast or arm.”
Fanning the Anti-Slavery Cause
The former slaves, including Chinn, traveled from New Orleans to the North. Of these, four children appeared to be white or octoroon. According to the Harper's Weekly article, they were, perfectly white;' 'very fair;' 'of unmixed white race.' Their light complexions contrasted sharply with those of the three adults, Wilson, Mary, and Robert; and that of the fifth child, Isaac—'a black boy of eight years; but nonetheless [more] intelligent than his whiter companions.
The group was accompanied by Colonel Hanks from the 18th Infantry Regiment. They posed for photos in New York City and in Philadelphia. The resulting images were produced in the carte de visite format and were sold for twenty-five cents each, with the profits of the sale being directed to Major General Nathaniel P. Banks back in Louisiana to support education of freedmen. Each of the photos noted that sale proceeds would be "devoted to the education of colored people".
Most of these were produced by Charles Paxson and Myron Kimball, who took the group photo that later appeared as a woodcut in Harper's Weekly.
In January 1864, to fan the anti-slavery cause and promote the sale of abolitionist photographs, these images appeared in an article about Chinn and the child slaves published in Harper's Weekly, the most widely read journal during the Civil War.
In the 21st century, the Paxson No. 8 "branded slave" image of Chinn has appeared on display at:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art. "Photography and the American Civil War," April 2, 2013 – September 2, 2013.
Gibbes Museum of Art. "Photography and the American Civil War," September 27, 2013 – January 5, 2014.

Lillie Nordmann (born August 5, 2002) is an American competitive swimmer specializing in butterfly and freestyle events. She competed at the 2019 World Junior Swimming Championships, winning gold medals in the 200 meter butterfly, 4×200 meter freestyle relay, and 4×100 meter medley relay. She competes collegiately for Stanford University.
Background
Nordmann was born August 5, 2002, to Amy and Michael Nordmann. Her mother competed collegiately and won a national title in volleyball and her father competed collegiately in swimming. For club swimming growing up she trained and competed as part of The Woodlands Swim Team and Magnolia Aquatics. She attended The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas, where she competed as part of the school swim team and won State Championships titles in the 200 yard freestyle and 100 yard butterfly. In 2021, she started attending Stanford University and competing collegiately as part of Stanford Cardinal.
Career
2013–2018
In 2013, Nordmann won the Swammy Award for female Age Group Swimmer of the Year, 10 years old and younger age group, from SwimSwam for ranking in the top ten nationally in 12 events for her age group. At the 2018 Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Suva, Fiji, she placed fourth in the 200 meter butterfly, first in the b-final of the 4×100 meter freestyle relay and the 100 meter butterfly, 20th in the 100 meter freestyle, and 21st in the 50 meter freestyle.

Curiously, the song received a single edit shortly after the release of the album but the song was never directly released as a single. The song is to date the band's most popular song and would later go on to form the basis of the band's fifth and sixth albums, Vector and Virus.
Background
Cockroach King was written entirely by Richard Henshall. The song's lyrics have been a topic of debate since the release of the song and the band has revealed very little directly on the meaning of the song. In recent times the band has been more lenient in revealing the song's true meaning. A theory that the song's lyrics are political in nature would be confirmed by vocalist Ross Jennings in August 2021.
Describing the song's production, the band stated "With 'Cockroach King' we allowed our eccentric side to come to the fore and wrote a song in the tradition of some of our favorite English '70s bands like Queen, The Specials and of course - it's obviously a huge tip of the hat to Gentle Giant. There's some 8-string metal riffing in there too and of course Jens Bogren did an amazing job with the mix, It's a blend of the old traditions and modern sounds that we jokingly refer to as 'Djentle Djiant'."
In a Q&A livestream hosted by the band in April 2020, bassist Connor Green stated that the song is his favourite to play live.
Music video
The music video for Cockroach King features puppet renditions of the band's members, manufactured by band guitarist Charlie Griffiths and controlled by Jennings and Pete Rinaldi paying homage to the music video for "Bohemian Rhapsody". Keyboardist Diego Tejeida stated in an interview "The idea was to make a video clip with comic overtones for audiences of all ages, far from all the serious protocol that a metal/rock video demands." The band also stated that "the Video is also a tribute to a more innocent time before our TVs were dominated by computer animation and hi-definition; a time when things were handmade, wholesome and fun for the whole family!"
The music video for Cockroach King is to date the highest-viewed video on the band's YouTube channel.
Legacy
Five years after the release of the song, it would go on to form the basis for the storyline across Vector and Virus, with the albums acting as an origin story for the character.
Following the success of the song, Cockroaches would become a signature part of the band's iconography and often used as a symbol of the band, such as on the promotional art for their 2018 tour with Leprous.
Ross Jennings would later pay homage to the song in the music video for the song "Feelings" from his 2021 album A Shadow of My Future Self, with the Cockroach King being a boss in the music video's fictitious arcade game.

Maxime Marie Abel Joseph Vuillaume (19 November 1844 – 25 November 1925), Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, was a French engineer, particularly known for his work on the Gotthard Tunnel. He was also a journalist and pamphleteer. He was involved in the Paris Commune of 1871, on the fall of which he was forced to go into exile, and later wrote several volumes of detailed memoirs of the Commune (Mes Cahiers Rouges).
Biography
Vuillaume was born in Saclas, in Seine-et-Oise (now in Essonne), son of Claude Joseph Vuillaume and his wife Augustine (née Grégoire). He studied at the Collège Sainte-Barbe and the École des Mines. In his youth in Paris he frequented revolutionary circles.
In 1871 Vuillaume with Eugène Vermersch and Alphonse Humbert re-founded the newspaper Le Père Duchêne, which took its name from the journal of Jacques-René Hébert at the time of the French Revolution.
After the Bloody Week (la Semaine sanglante) in May 1871 which brought the Paris Commune to its end, he fled to Switzerland, with Eugène Protot and other communards, passing through the Jura. In 1872 he was engaged as the secretary of the entrepreneur Louis Favre, based in Altdorf in Uri. From that position during the active phase of the excavation and construction of the Saint-Gotthard tunnel he was able to observe and write about the work at close hand. By his numerous articles published in La Nature (a science review) under the pseudonym Maxime Hélène, he made generally known the progress of the works on the tunnel and the person of Louis Favre. He also published articles on explosives, which was his speciality.
In 1878, Louis Favre entrusted to him, for the requirements of the digging of the tunnel, the management of the dynamite factory set up at Varallo Pombia in Piedmont. In 1882, he became director of a new dynamite factory in Liguria. He then became director of the Société continentale des Glycérines et Dynamites, which was founded in Lyon in 1882.
He later (1887) returned to Paris, where as a journalist he wrote for various reviews including L'Aurore. He was syndic of the Association des journalistes républicains.
Vuillaume was one of the survivors of the Commune, like Victorine Brocher and Gustave Lefrançais, to bear witness to it in later years. He wrote Mes Cahiers Rouges, memoirs in 10 parts, published between 1908, with a preface by Lucien Descaves, and 1908. These memoirs are highly regarded, and Vuillaume has been described as "the best memoirist of the second half of the 19th century".
In his old age, after the death of his wife, he lived at the Fondation Galignani, an old people's home and hospice in Neuilly-sur-Seine, where he died on 25 November 1925.

Luisa Vertova (1921 - 28 June 2021) was an Italian art historian. Her research work mostly focused on Renaissance Italian painters such as Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Paolo Veronese, Titian, Botticelli and Caravaggio. In addition she undertook numerous projects as editor of several editions of her mentor Bernard Berenson's and her husband Benedict Nicolson's writings.
Early life and education
Vertova was born to philosopher Giacomo Vertova, a descendant of a noble family in Bergamo. Giacomo Vertova was forced out of his university teaching job due to his anti-fascist ideals. Despite his liberal views, he was described as "intolerant and authoritarian" and led a strict household. Vertova had two siblings, brother Gino and sister Nori.
Vertova spent her childhood in Florence, Italy, but when she was six the family moved from Florence to a villa in Fiesole, Italy with their extended family.
Vertova originally wanted to be an artist, but art school was considered unsuitable for a girl from a "good family." Vertova studied art history and archaeology at the University of Florence in the 1940's.
Career
During the German occupation of Italy, Vertova survived with her knowledge of the German language. During her postgraduate scholarship, anti-fascist friends took her to meet Bernard Berenson, who was hiding in the outskirts of Florence. Two years later, he learned she was ill and malnourished, so he invited her to villa I Tatti to recover. She remained at i Tatti until her marriage. Vertova impressed Berenson and became his assistant, working on his photographic collection, and remained so even after moving to London. She worked with Elisabetta "Nicky" Mariano and Berenson until his death in 1959.
Vertova was a consultant for Christie's and curated their catalogs. She worked as Old Master Paintings and Drawings Specialist and from the 1960s to the 1980s, she was advisor for most auctions for Christie's in Milan, Florence, and Rome.
In 2018, Vertova gave the Federico Zeri Foundation her archive of art books, auction catalogs, photos and other documents from her time at Christie's. " Most of the photographs – gelatin silver prints and negative film – are of works of 19th-century Italian art as documented by major photographic studios: Cooper of London, Boccardi of Rome, Luigi Artini of Florence."
Marriage and children
Vertova met Benedict Nicolson at villa i Tatti while they were both guests of Berenson. They married on 8 August 1955 in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. There was conflict between Vertova and her family because of gossip that Nicolson was homosexual, but he had already told her. One year later, they had a daughter, Vanessa Pepita Giovanna Nicolson in 1956.
At the end of 1959, she moved to England with Nicolson. Vertova felt "isolated and trapped" in England after leaving her career and family in Italy. She had "been her own person, a respected art historian, rather than just 'Mrs. Benedict Nelson.'" They divorced in 1962.
Vertova's relationship with her daughter Vanessa was difficult.

Santa Maria di Valvedre is a baroque-style, Roman Catholic parish church located on Via Squarcialupo #2 in the quarter of Castellamare of the city of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy.
History
thumb|view towards entrance and choir
A church here was originally attached to a 14th-century Carmelite. In 1633 it was refurbished funded by the endowment by a wealthy Genoese, Camillo Pallavicino, whose daughter had entered the monastery. Initially, rebuilt under the designs of Mariano Smiriglio; work in the interior continued under Paolo Amato. Additional work on the structure was concluded by Andrea Palma, Abate Mango, and Giovanni Patricolo.
The exterior is box-like, neoclassical style, with some symbolic relief panels. The interior is a rectangular hall is more richly decorated. The sottocoro, or entrance room underneath the second floor choir, was painted with a Virgin in Glory (1750) by Olivio Sozzi. But the frescoes above the choir are mostly lost, and were the work of Antonio Gramsci or Grano. The Carmelite monastery was suppressed in 1866, but restarted in 1872. The church was heavily damaged during the second world war, and restorations only begun between 1979 and 1980. In 1997 the church was reconsecrated for worship.
In the semicircular apse are decorations by Giuseppe Patricolo. The main altarpiece is a depiction of the Madonna del Carmine (1642) by Pietro Novelli. The apse ceiling frescoes are attributed to Guglielmo Borremans.

Jean Webster (January 7, 1935 – January 10, 2011) was an American cook who operated Sister Jean's Kitchen, a soup kitchen in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Webster began serving free meals to the poor of Atlantic City out of her own home in 1986, cooked in her personal kitchen. Eventually her informal charity expanded into a substantial operation that moved out to operate from Victory First Presbyterian Deliverance Church in Atlantic City. Food was open to any and all who came. There, Sister Jean's Kitchen served over 400 people per day with hot meals at its height.
Life and career
Jean Webster was born in New York City, New York in 1935. She moved to Atlantic City at age 4 or 5 after her father switched jobs. She attended culinary school after graduating from the school system. Even before completion of school, she was working on the side to help her family's finances. From a young age, she worked as a cook at nursing homes to help support her five sisters and three brothers. She had a job at the kitchen of the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel as a dish-washer at the age of 18; she learned to cook from a chef there.
Webster worked in casinos later in her life, which became Atlantic City's main source of employment after they were legalized in the 1970s and expanded in the 1980s. She was one of the first black female sous-chefs employed at Atlantic City casinos. Her employers included the Playboy Hotel and Casino, at Caesars Atlantic City, at Atlantis Hotel and Casino, and the Trump Taj Mahal. Webster retired from the Taj Mahal in 1991 due to health issues related to a heart condition that resulted in angina and other complications.
Sister Jean's Kitchen
Webster attributed her inspiration to feed people from an experience meeting a homeless man in 1986. She bought a meal for him at a nearby pizza restaurant, and invited him to her home for dinner the next day. She said that she felt called by God to start a mission of feeding people, and made it known that she would feed anyone who stopped by. Lines formed outside her home once word spread through the Atlantic City community. During the early phases of her operation, she fed around 100 regular attendees two meals a day, and spent nearly all of her free time cooking, while she held down a regular job at the Taj Mahal. Her charity eventually drew attention outside her own church. While she had initially used her own funds to pay for food, the popularity of her food distribution rendered this unsustainable. She obtained funding from local churches, the Taj Mahal, as well as other casinos to continue her work. She also began being referred to as "Sister Jean" during her charity work. Her work drew wide attention, and she was also called the "Mother Teresa of Jersey".
Jean Webster's Kitchen made no restrictions, including no limitations on repeat visits, which made it attractive to the most desperate parts of society such as the homeless. For Thanksgiving in 1992, she cooked for over 300 people. Webster cooked for up to 200 people a day there by 1994, until it became impossible to continue from her home's kitchen, which was not intended for such volume. After a fire and news that her landlord was facing foreclosure on the property in 1995, she decided to move locations. In September 1997, the soup kitchen moved to Victory First Presbyterian Deliverance Church, on Pennsylvania Avenue between Pacific and Atlantic Avenues. Webster's old employer, the nearby Taj Mahal, furnished much of the kitchen equipment. At Victory First Presbyterian, the kitchen was able to service many more people than Webster's personal home. She continued cooking there with the aid of rotating volunteers; serving over 400 people a day. The kitchen also received donations of leftover food from the local casinos. On holidays, attendance would surge; in 2001, the kitchen served over 1,600 people on Thanksgiving.
Webster disliked the term "soup kitchen", as aside from her kitchen serving more than soup and having a quick-and-dirty connotation. She preferred to emphasize the community and spirituality aspect, describing the operation as a "house of happiness" or "mission", as well as referring to attendees as "guests". Her operation attracted some criticism, as Victory First was close to Atlantic City's tourism district and there were worries that the line-ups of homeless people eager for food would not present the city well to outsiders. She defended doing her work in Atlantic City's downtown, noting that that she insisted on professional behavior from guests in line.
Health issues and age impaired Webster's ability to continue working in the late 2000s. Economic issues, such as the declining profitability of Atlantic City casinos and the recession of 2007–2009, put pressure on the funding of the kitchen, and Sister Jean's Kitchen had to lay off staff in late 2008. Jean Webster died on January 10, 2011, at the age of 76 due to illness related to her heart and lungs. She was survived by her daughter Cecelia Woodard, a grandchild, and two great-grandchildren.
Legacy
After Webster became unable to continue working due to health issues late in her life, Sister Jean's Kitchen continued to operate under others. Webster authorized a nonprofit foundation, the Friends of Jean Webster, to take over running the kitchen as her health declined. The organization continued operating Sister Jean's Kitchen after her death. Its executive director is John Scotland, who served as the minister of the nearby Brigantine Community Church from 1991–2021.
The move of Sister Jean's Kitchen to Victory First Presbyterian Deliverance Church had been done in haste due to Webster having to leave her original rented home, and was originally a temporary arrangement. Webster planned to move to a new location as early as 2005, but plans fell through. Victory First was damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As a result, the urgency in searching for options to move out increased. In 2017, the organization purchased space at St. Monica's, a former Catholic church on Pennsylvania Avenue a few blocks away from Victory First. The Friends of Jean Webster planned to renovate St. Monica's kitchen and use it as the new home of the soup kitchen with support from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA), a public agency that uses taxes from the casinos for projects to improve Atlantic City. However, these plans largely fell through. The St. Monica's building was deemed unsafe in its current condition, and fixing this would require a larger grant than the CRDA was willing to provide after estimates of the cost of the renovation climbed to 2 million dollars. The CRDA eventually reimbursed the Kitchen for $300,000 of the money they had already spent on the attempt to redevelop the property.
City inspectors considered Victory First still too damaged to continue to host the soup kitchen. Sister Jean's Kitchen shut down in February 2019 after continuing concerns about safety and fitness for purpose of Victory First. Other programs for the indigent in Atlantic City saw increased volume after the closure, putting pressure on their finances.
In November 2020, Sister Jean's Pantry was opened by the Friends of Jean Webster. Rather than the soup kitchen of before that served hot meals daily, something made infeasible both by budget and by the coronavirus pandemic impacting in-person dining, the Pantry is instead an emergency source of non-perishable food boxes. It operates out of St. Monica's, which while not fully renovated for kitchen use, was approved for the simpler pantry distribution purpose. The Friends of Jean Webster organization still intends to bring back the full soup kitchen, when feasible.

Margaret Masterton or Maistertoun was employed in 1594 at Stirling Castle as the nurse of Prince Henry, the son of James VI and I and Anne of Denmark.
She was a daughter of Janet Couston and Alexander Masterton of Bad in Perthshire, Masterton near Dunfermline, and Parkmill in Clackmannanshire.
She married a lawyer, James Primrose of Barhill, Culross. He kept a record of his legal work, known as a "Protocol Book", which is preserved by the National Records of Scotland. She was sometimes known as "Mistress Primrose" and received annuity payments from Prince Henry under that name. Their son George Primrose was a clergyman at Hereford Cathedral and preacher at the Eignbrook Chapel in 1662.
She may have been the wet-nurse to the Prince described by George Nicholson who became ill and was replaced in January 1595 by the wife of Henry Murray, a Stirling burgess. The baby would not feed unless his first nurse was present.

Ultium is an electric vehicle battery and motor architecture developed by General Motors. It is planned to be deployed for battery electric vehicles from General Motors portfolio brands along with vehicles from Honda and Acura.
Overview
Ultium is characterized by a modular layout, and large, pouch-style cells which can be stacked horizontally or vertically, depending on the form factor needs of each vehicle. A common charging and battery management system serves as the basis for each vehicle's electrical architecture, and a common series of motors and inverters known as Ultium Drive will be produced for use across the entire lineup. Ultium is used by GM's BEV3 platform and BT1 platform.
Ultium drive
Ultium vehicles are powered by a family of five interchangeable drive units and three motors, known collectively as "Ultium Drive."
Planned units include:
A 180kW front-drive motor
A 255kW front-drive and rear-drive motor
A 62kW all-wheel drive assist motor
The motors can be configured in front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive combinations.
Ultium batteries
In-house Ultium battery cells feature Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese Aluminum (NCMA) chemistry, and will be manufactured in a joint-venture with partner LG.
At least four production facilities are planned, as of 2021:
Ultium Cells LLC - Lordstown, Ohio (Opening in 2022, 30GWh capacity)
Ultium Cells LLC - Spring Hill, Tennessee (Opening in 2023, 70GWh capacity)
Ultium Cells LLC - Lansing, MI (Opening unknown, 50GWh capacity)
Unknown location, unknown opening date.
The Ultium battery is designed to accommodate charging speeds of up to 350 kW.

The Battle of Volta Mantovana of 1848 was an engagement fought in Volta Mantovana on the 26th and 27 July 1848 between the Second Austrian army corps of General Konstantin D'Aspré and the 3d Piedmontese division of general Ettore De Sonnaz. It resulted in a decisive Austrian victory.
Events leading to the Battle
Following their defeat at the battle of Custoza on July 24–25, 1848, Piedmontese forces retreated across the river Mincio. On the morning of the 26th, at a general staff meeting held at Goito King Charles Albert of Sardinia ordered General De Sonnaz's third corps to march to nearby Volta Mantovana (just recently abandoned by the retreating Piedmontese) and to either cover the Piedmontese retreat or frustrate the Austrian advance across the river Mincio, made possible by the nearby Viscontean bridge connecting Valeggio sul Mincio to Borghetto.
The Battle on the 26th
On the Austrian side, General Konstantin D'Aspré's Second Army corps had similar orders to secure Volta Mantovana, and troops under his command reached the town a short amount of time before the Piedmontese did. More specifically the town of Volta and some of the morenic hills by it had been occupied around 6 pm on the 26th by an Austrian brigade led by Major General Friedrich von und zu Liechtenstein composed of the 2nd Kaiserjäger battalion, the 9th Feldjäger Battalion, the Archduke Franz Karl Infantry regiment and the 2nd company of engineers. A skirmish between Austrian and Piedmontese forces promptly ensued, and it quickly developed into a full-scale battle as Konstantin D'Aspré committed further reinforcements to defend the town. The historian Diego Soria writes that on the Piedmontese left flank the Infantry Brigade "Savoia" (1st Regiment) led by Colonel Mollard attacked the town in three columns, charging uphill into Austrian fire and driving the Austrians out of the settlement but failing to dislodge "300 Croatians" entrenched in the village church. Soria also noted that on the right flank the Infantry Brigade "Savona" (17th regiment), two companies of the Brigade "Parma" and volunteers attacked the Austrian position, capturing at least part of the town. The Austrian account of Dr. Schneidawind also states that the Savoia reached the village and captured a number of homesteads, but reinforcements from the Kinsky infantry regiment and the Szluiner grenzregiment (The Slunj border troops) threw the Piedmontese back. He also notes that the attack of the "Savona" from the right flank of the Piedmontese via Sottomonte and Luccone was successful and the Piedmontese entered into town. As a result, the battle continued throughout the night, house by house. Both accounts agree that by 2 am the Piedmontese left the elevated positions, unable to hold onto their gains.
The Battle on the 27th
The battle proper commenced again at dawn of the following day after the 3d Piedmontese Division had been reinforced by 6 battalions of the Piedmontese "Brigata Regina". 6 Battalions of the Regina and 2 Battalions of the 3d Division attacked the Austrian positions which was now heavily reinforced by the troops of the Kerpan Brigade (commanded by Major-General Joseph Ritter von Kerpan) and the Schwarzenberg brigade (commanded by Edmund Leopold Friedrich count of Schwarzenberg), all shadowed by further Austrian forces. By 6 am the Piedmontese assault on Volta Mantovana had been decisively defeated, and the Austrians counter-attacked. Soria writes that the battle was the "bloodiest engagement of the entire war" ("ce combat de Volta fut le plus acharné de tous") and that the Piedmontese suffered 1,000 casualties between killed and wounded. The Piedmontese retreated towards Goito, but during the retreat they were attacked by the prince Reuss Hussars, the Kaiser Uhlans and the King Ludwig of Bavaria dragoons. The cavalry attacks were repulsed by Piedmontese cavalry charges - the first one by the 2nd cavalry regiment "Genova", the second by the 1st cavalry Regiment "Savoia". A third was purportedly driven off by a Piedmontese square. Austrian accounts counted 77 dead, 175 wounded, 202 missing or unaccounted for (with most of the casualties coming from the 2nd Kaiserjäger battalion and the Archduke Franz Carl infantry regiment). No accurate Piedmontese count of the casualties seems to be available.
Consequences
Piedmontese General Eusebio Bava writes in his memoirs that in so far as the Piedmontese had already obtained two victories on the Mincio (at the battle of Goito bridge and at Goito) they were confident of victory. The news that the heights and great part of the village had been captured on the night of the 26th fostered further expectations of success, dashed in the morning of the 27th as the Piedmontese were forced to withdraw. Bava also notes that on the morning of the 27th a great many "fleeing soldiers of the Regina and Savoia brigade could be seen", that many Piedmontese soldiers escaping Volta could not be rallied and effectively deserted, fleeing "right up as far as Piedmont", and that surviving soldiers complained of starvation and lack of victuals. Bava observed a striking break-down of discipline. Defeated on the Mincio, the bulk of the Piedmontese forces then concentrated at Goito retreated westwards towards a defensive line on the river Oglio.

Fumaria purpurea, known as purple ramping-fumitory, is an annual flowering herbaceous plant in the poppy family which is endemic to the British Isles.
Description
A sprawling or climbing plant with brittle stems which exude white sap when broken, up to about 2 m tall, typically found growing up through hedges. The whole plant is hairless and smooth, with pale green stems and leaves, and flowers that range from white through to dark purple, but generally pink. The leaves are flat but often curled and deeply divided into numerous irregular-shaped lobes, based on multiples of three (a ternate pattern). The inflorescence is a raceme with 15-24 individual flowers on short recurved stalks, each hermaphroditic flower being 10–13 mm long, with large oval sepals up to 6.5 mm in length, and 4 petals arranged into a characteristic tube shape. The fruits are roughly spherical, 2.5 mm in diameter, with a distinct ring or neck at the base when fresh.
Distinctive features for separating this species from other fumitories are the purplish flowers that are strongly bent back along the stalk, the large sepals and neck on the fruits.
Distribution and habitat
Fumaria purpurea has only been recorded in Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Isles (an area sometimes referred to by naturalists as the British Isles), which makes it endemic to this area. It has a striking and unusual distribution pattern, being found in Britain mainly along a vertical line from Devon to Orkney. It grows in hedges and on disturbed ground, including gardens, arable fields and construction sites. It was first collected in 1726 by Johann Jacob Dillenius, "ad sepes prope Shrewsbury" (in hedges near Shrewsbury, where it still occurs), according to a specimen at Oxford University (OXF) which was identified much later by Pugsley. In Britain and Ireland it is classed as "least concern" by the JNCC and the National Parks and Wildlife Service, respectively, while it is also listed as "vulnerable" in England and "critically endangered" in Wales.
Taxonomy
Purple ramping-fumitory was named in 1902 by H.W. Pugsley, who also described two varieties: var. longisepala, with sepals up to 6.5 mm long, and var. brevisepala, with shorter sepals only 5 mm long, which could be confused with F. muralis var. boraei. The two varieties are usually ignored now. There is some debate about its origin and its relationship to other species in the genus. Some authorities consider it to be closely related to F. muralis because of chemical and cytological similarities, while others place it alongside F. capreolata, owing to their morphological similarity.
Fumaria purpurea has the chromosome number 2n = 80.

Johann Rudolf Lauffer (7 November 1752 – 24 December 1833) was a Swiss-born Curaçaoan soldier, colonial administrator and businessman. He became Director of Curaçao and Dependencies after a military coup d'état on 1 December 1796 and served until 13 January 1803.
Biography
Lauffer was born on 7 November 1752 in Zofingen, Switzerland. After finishing elementary school, he wanted to travel to the United States, but ended up in Curaçao where he enlisted in the schutterij (militia) in 1776.
On 18 January 1795, William V, Prince of Orange fled from the Netherlands, and went into exile in Great-Britain shortly before the announcement of the Batavian Republic. While in exile, Willem V started writing the Kew Letters to the colonial governors urging them to submit to Great-Britain. Governor Johannes de Veer refused to submit to the Batavian Republic, and was replaced by Jan Jacob Beaujon in August 1796. On 14 August, Lauffer was elected by acclamation as the new commander of the Military Committee.
Beaujon appointed J.M. Brunnings, an orangist, as new secretary which lead to a conflict with Lauffer and the patriots (Republicans). On 20 October 1796, the French commander M. Valteau arrived on the island with a defence plan, and Lauffer had taken control of all the military forces including the corps of free blacks and mulattoes. To gain popular support, Beaujon was characterised as an orangist and pro-British and was compared to his brother Antony who had handed Demerara to the British. On 1 December, Lauffer overthrew the government with the military and French troops from Guadelope, and was installed as Director of Curaçao and Dependencies.
To prevent attacks by the British navy, Lauffer ordered the construction of Fort Republiek (now: Fort Oranje Nassau) on Curaçao and Fort Zoutman on Aruba. Even though Curaçao was aligned with France, he tried to keep troops off the islands, and focused on commercial interests.
In 1800, French troops from Guadeloupe landed on Curaçao in order to prevent a possible attack of the British. Lauffer managed to contact the Americans and British, and informed them that he was prepared to surrender the islands under the same terms as Suriname. On 21 September 1800, the Americans landed, and most of the French troops fled. On 17 October, Lauffer officially surrendered to British rule. He resigned on 23 October, however the Lord Hugh Seymour refused to accept his resignation, and persuaded him to stay on as governor.
The islands were returned to the Netherlands by the Peace of Amiens. On 13 January 1803, Lauffer was succeeded by Abraham de Veer, and was ordered to return to the Netherlands. On 12 November 1805, after a court-martial, he was acquitted and honourably discharged, and given a passport for him and his slave Johannes Theodorus.
Lauffer returned to Curaçao, and stayed out of politics for the rest of his life. In 1799, he had bought the Bleinheim plantation. He would focus on international trade, and the Amsterdam and New York Stock Exchange, and would become one of the biggest mortgage holders in Curaçao.
Lauffer died on 24 December 1833 at his estate of Bleinheim, at the age of 81.
Legacy
In August 1952, a new high school in Curaçao was named "Gouverneur Johann Rudolf Lauffer school".

James Ogilvy, 5th Earl of Findlater and 2nd Earl of Seafield ( – 9 July 1764) was a Scottish peer.
Early life
James was born . He was the son of James Ogilvy, 4th Earl of Findlater and the former Anne Dunbar. His father, the Lord Chancellor of Scotland and Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland under Queen Anne, was also created Viscount of Seafield in 1698 and Earl of Seafield in 1701, both in the Peerage of Scotland.
His paternal grandparents were James Ogilvy, 3rd Earl of Findlater and Lady Anne Montgomerie (a daughter of Hugh Montgomerie, 7th Earl of Eglinton). His maternal grandfather was Sir William Dunbar, 1st Baronet.
Career
In 1715 he was incarcerated in Edinburgh Castle as a suspected Jacobite during the Uprising. Upon his father's death on 15 August 1730, he succeeded as the 2nd Viscount of Seafield, 2nd Viscount of Reidhaven, 2nd Earl of Seafield, 5th Earl of Findlater, 2nd Lord Ogilvy of Cullen, and 2nd Lord Ogilvy of Deskford.
He served as Lord of Police for Scotland between 1734 and 1742 and was appointed a Representative Peer for Scotland between 1734 and 1761. From 1737 to 1764, he held the office of Vice-Admiral of Scotland.
During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Cullen House was ransacked while Lord Findlater and his wife were traveling to Aberdeen to meet the Duke of Cumberland who was pursuing Bonny Prince Charlie's Jacobite army. While they were away, a group of Charles's supporters forced their way into the house and ransacked it, carrying off as much as possible and destroying what could not be easily transported. Three days later, continuing his pursuit that would end at the Battle of Culloden, Cumberland arrived at the scene accompanied by Findlater to find the doors of the house forced open, the windows broken, and broken furniture and discarded papers strewn around the grounds. Findlater subsequently petitioned Parliament for the sum of £8,000 in compensation for the losses incurred, but it is not clear whether he ever received any payment.
Personal life
In 1714, Lord Findlater was married to Lady Elizabeth Hay, second daughter of Thomas Hay, 7th Earl of Kinnoull. Together, they were the parents of:
Lady Anne Ogilvy (d. 1759), who married John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun, son of Charles Hope, 1st Earl of Hopetoun in 1733.
Lady Margaret Ogilvy (d. 1757), who married Sir Ludovick Grant, 7th Baronet, MP for Elginshire, a son of Sir James Grant, 6th Baronet.
James Ogilvy, 6th Earl of Findlater (–1770), who married Lady Mary Murray, second daughter of John Murray, 1st Duke of Atholl.
After the death of his first wife, he remarried to Lady Sophia Hope on 14 December 1723. She was a daughter of Charles Hope, 1st Earl of Hopetoun and Lady Henrietta Johnstone (a daughter of William Johnstone, 1st Marquess of Annandale). Ten years after their marriage, Lady Sophia's brother, the 2nd Earl of Hopetoun, married Lord Findlater's eldest daughter, Lady Anne.
Lord Findlater died at Cullen House on 9 July 1764, and was succeeded by his son James. His grandson, James Ogilvy, 7th Earl of Findlater, was an accomplished amateur landscape architect and philanthropist.

Akash Bashir (June 22, 1994 – March 15, 2015) was a volunteer security guard at St. John's Catholic Church in Lahore, Pakistan. When a suicide bomber attempted to enter the Church on March 15, 2015, Bashir stopped him, saying, "I will die, but I will not let you go in." The bomber detonated the bomb, instantly killing Bashir. Because of his actions, hundreds of people who were in the church at that time were saved. On January 31, 2022, it was reported that Bashir had been declared a servant of God, and his cause for sainthood was opened up. He is the first Servant of God from Pakistan.
Early life
Akash Bashir was born on June 22, 1994. He went to school in Youhanabad, the Christian quarter of the city of Lahore. He volunteered as a security guard for St. John's Catholic Church in 2014.
Suicide Bombing Attempt
On March 15, 2015, two suicide bombers went to two Catholic churches, Saint John's Catholic Church and Christ Church of the Church of Pakistan. Bashir, who was guarding Saint John's on that day, stopped the bomber at the door, saying, "I will die, but I will not let you go in." The bomber then dentonated the bomb, killing Bashir and two others. At around the same time, a bomb went off at Christ Church of the Church of Pakistan. In total, 17 people were killed and about 70 were injured. Terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Jamaatul Ahrar (TTP-JA) later claimed the attacks.

The Torre de la Cautiva () is a tower in the walls of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. It is one of several towers along the Alhambra's northern wall which were converted into a small palatial residence in the 14th century. It is considered an exceptional example of Nasrid domestic architecture from this period.
Name
The Spanish name Torre de la Cautiva, meaning 'Tower of the Captive (Lady)', is a "fanciful" name that does not have a historical reasoning. The Arabic inscriptions inside the tower refer to it as the qalaḥurra, meaning a "tower palace" or a military tower used as a dwelling.
Historical background
The tower is one of several towers along the northern wall of the Alhambra which were converted into residences or other non-military functions during the reign of Yusuf I (r. 1333–1354). The tower itself probably already existed before this and was rebuilt or modified by Yusuf I. The exact date of the tower's construction or conversion is not known, but because it contains poems by Ibn al-Jayyab it was most likely completed before this poet's death in 1349. Other examples of such towers from Yusuf I's reign include the tower known as the Peinador de la Reina (to which Charles V added royal apartments in 1528), the oratorio (oratory or prayer room) of the Partal Palace, and the Comares Tower or Hall of the Ambassadors in the Comares Palace. The Torre de la Cautiva was damaged by fire at some point in its history and the floor and ceiling were later restored in the 19th century.
Description
The tower is integrated into the northern wall of the Alhambra complex. It is located between the Torre del Qadi to the west and the Torre de las Infantas to the east. The entrance to the tower, on its south side, is a narrow passage that bends 90 degrees four times before reaching the first hall. A staircase branching off the side of the entrance passage leads to the second floor. The interior of the tower consists of two halls of square shape. The first hall is essentially a tiny courtyard with a skylight opening and thus serving as a light well. On one side of this courtyard-hall is the arch of the entrance and on the other three sides is a portico or gallery structure with arches supported by two pillars. On the second floor, the light well of the courtyard is surrounded by several chambers which connect to it through small windows. The second hall, at the north end of the tower, is similar to the Hall of the Ambassadors in the Comares Palace but on a smaller scale. It has deep niches on three sides which contain double windows with views onto the landscape below. The hall is covered by a high vaulted ceiling of wood which dates from its 19th-century restoration. The marble floor also dates from the 19th-century restoration.
The interior of the tower is decorated with extensive carved stucco decoration from the Nasrid period, similar to the other palaces of the Alhambra. This decoration was originally enhanced with polychromy but has lost its colours over time. Tapestries or other furnishings were probably hanged on some of the walls during the Nasrid period. The tower's most notable decoration is the mosaic tilework (zellij) along its lower walls. Tile pieces of different colours were arranged to form geometric patterns as well as lines of Arabic calligraphic inscriptions running horizontally above them. Among the different colours of the tile pieces is a purple colour which is unique in the decoration of this era. The Arabic inscriptions of the tilework include four long poems by Ibn al-Jayyab, a grand vizier of Yusuf I and the predecessor of Ibn al-Khatib, which praise the qualities of the building. One inscription also contains a chapter from the Qur'an, Surah 112, which invokes the unity of God.This tower, along with the other small towers that Yusuf I refurbished and decorated, represented a new type of design in Nasrid architecture. Unlike other Nasrid palaces like the Partal or the Comares Palace, they have no relationship to an outdoor courtyard or garden. Instead, they are completely self-contained and isolated. However, they do have windows offering scenic views of the city and landscape beyond the Alhambra, which may suggest that they were an evolution of the mirador or lookout room that can be found in many of the other Nasrid palaces and pavilions of the era. A later example of this type of tower palace – and one of the last major Nasrid constructions in the Alhambra – is the Torre de las Infantas which was built or rebuilt by Muhammad VII towards the end of the 14th century.

Clara Mulholland (1849–1934) was an Irish-English writer who was born in Belfast but moved to England at an early age. In addition to being a prolific novelist since the 1880s, she wrote children's literature, plays, and was a translator from French into English.
Early life and education
Clara Mulholland was born in Belfast, 1849. Her father was Joseph Stevenson Mulholland, M.D. Her siblings included older sisters Rosa Mulholland (Lady Gilbert), and Lady Ellen Russell, wife of Charles Russell, Baron Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England, as well as a brother, William Mulholland. The siblings belonged to a County Antrim family which had many representatives in the U.S. bearing the names of Mulholland, Mullholland, Milholland, and Millholland. Members of the most prominent branch of the family were for a century leading cotton spinners of Belfast, the eldest line of which was elevated to the British peerage as Barons of Dunleath.
Clara left Belfast at a very early age. She was educated in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England, at a convent of the Sisters of Providence of the Institute of Charity, and afterwards at a convent of the Dames de Marie, Coloma, Belgium.
Career
Her first story for young children, was published by Messrs. Marcus, Ward & Co., of Belfast, and by John Murphy, of Baltimore. Then followed - Naughty Miss Bunny, The Strange Adventures of Little Snowdrop, and Little Merry Face and His Crown of Content. Later, Mulholland wrote stories for various London magazines and papers, and for Messrs. Tillotson & Sons, of Bolton, and the National Press Agency, London. Her other books were, A Striking Contrast, Kathleen Mavourneen and Linda's Misfortunes and Little Brian's trip to Dublin.
Her translation of The Little Hunchback, by the Comtesse de Segur, was published in London, 1876, with a new edition in 1883. The translation for Mystical Flora of St. Francis de Sales was published in London, 1880. Another translation included The Power of St. Joseph - A Book of Meditations and Devotions in honour of the Foster-Father of Our Lord, by the Rev. Father Huguet, S.M.; translated from the French by Clara Mulholland (Dublin : McGlashan and Gill, 1876).
Bound Together - Six Short Plays for Home and School (Baltimore : John Murphy & Co., 1897) was co-authored by Clara and Rosa.
Other works followed including, The Little Bogtrotters; or, A Few Weeks at Conmore (London, 1878), Little Brian's Trip to Dublin (London, 1885), The Miser of King's Court (London, 1887), Percy's Revenge (Dublin, 1887), In A Roundabout Way (1908), and Sweet Doreen (1915).

Seidelmann Yachts was an American boat builder based in Berlin, New Jersey. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats.
The company was founded by Bob Seidelmann in 1977.
History
Bob Seidelmann was a sailmaker and one design sailor, winning championships in Lightnings, Comets and Dusters, as well as several other one-design racing classes. He founded a sailmaking business, Seidelmann Sails, with his father, Joe Seidelmann, in the early 1960s. He was co-designer of the 1972 Hunter 25 with John Cherubini, which became Hunter Marine's first production boat. He began designing his own boats and started Seidelmann Yachts to produce them.
The first designs produced were the Seidelmann 25, Seidelmann 30 and the Seidelmann 30-T, all in 1977. Reviewer Steve Henkel reports in The Sailor's Book of Small Cruising Sailboats that some Seidelmann 25s suffered from poor construction quality.
Aside from building Bob Seidelmann's own designs, in 1980, the company became the first builder of the Sonar, which had been designed by Canadian naval architect Bruce Kirby, designer of the Laser. The boat sold 60 copies the first month after it was introduced.
Seidelmann also collaborated with Kirby on the 1981 design of the Seidelmann 24 racer-cruiser.
The company went out of business in 1986, just nine years after its founding, in the downturn in the sailboat market following the early 1980s recession in the United States.

William Bottomore (1845 — 21 October 1905) was an English first-class cricketer.
Bottomore was born in the Leicestershire village of Shepshed in 1845. He played his county cricket for Leicestershire, then a second-class county. He was described as a fast bowler and a good batsman, recording a highest score of 79 against Sussex. Bottomore had travelled to the United States in 1883, where he played one first-class cricket match for the United States cricket team against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia at Philadelphia. Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 13 runs in the United States first innings by John B. Thayer. In their second innings he scored 35 unbeaten runs and shared in a match-winning partnership of 26 with Edward Ogden. He returned to England the following year and continued to play minor matches for Leicestershire until 1885. Bottomore died suddenly at Shepshed in October 1905, aged 60.

Kappa Mensae, Latinized from κ Mensae, is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa. Its distance of 296 light years based on its parallax shift gives it an apparent magnitude of 5.45, making it faintly visible to the naked eye. However, it is receding from the Sun at a heliocentric radial velocity of .
Kappa Mensae has a stellar classification of B9 V, indicating that it is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star that is still generating energy from hydrogen fusion at its core. At present it has 3.44 times the mass of the Sun and shines at 66 times the luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of , which gives it a bluish-white hue. The star is very young at an age of 115 million years and has a high rate of spin, rotating with a projected rotational velocity of .

Khandzhelkala (Khandzhel-kala), it's also known as Khanjal-kala (; ) - abandoned Lezgins aul in the Magaramkentsky District of Dagestan. In translation from Judeo-Tat means "fortress of the dagger", protected not only by the steep slopes of the mountain on which it was located, but also by the fortress walls.
Etymology
"Khandzhelkala" is a proper name.
Geography
The village is located in the foothills of the Magaramkentsky District.
History
In the 18th century, Khan of Derbent and Quba Fatali Khan created a separate Kura Khanate on the territory of Kura, but soon it was included in the Gazikumukh Khanate. Apparently, the Mountain Jews population in the Kura villages Mamrach (Mamrash), Juhuro-Arag appeared only after 1812, when they were invited there to settle by the Kura ruler Aslan Khan. Later, part of the Mountain Jews from Mamrach moved to the village of Khandzhelkala.
In the first half of the 20th century, Mountain Jews from Khandzhelkala 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. The Mountain Jews cemeteries have been preserved.

SATW (originally known as the Society of American Travel Writers) was founded in 1955 and is a leading professional association of travel communicators in North America. Memberships can be individual or organizational. Members include writers, photographers, editors, website owners, bloggers, broadcasters, and public relations professionals. Programs and benefits include networking (through conferences, print and online membership directories, and online forums); professional development (both in person at conferences and virtually via online platforms); and recognition (through awards programs such as the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards, the Bill Muster Awards (photography), and the Phoenix Awards (sustainable tourism).) The organization's mission statement is to "inspire travel through responsible journalism;" all members must agree to the SATW Code of Ethics.
Membership
Individual “Active” membership is open to travel writers, editors, photographers, bloggers, website owners, and multi-media/AV communicators who reside in the U.S. or Canada or whose work is published primarily in North American media. SATW accepts members based on a qualification procedure that requires applicants to document their recent travel publications and audience reach. There is also a mandatory requalification process to ensure that all members continue to be active in the travel space.
Individual “Associate” membership is open to public relations professionals representing clients and working in a public relations or marketing capacity for brands and organizations such as Visitor and Convention bureaus, cruise ships, airlines, hotel chains, and other travel and hospitality providers.
Organizational memberships can be “Active” or “Associate,” and are available for companies working in either publishing or public relations.
Structure
As of the early 2020s, SATW had approximately 1000 members, with about 700 "actives" and approximately 300 "associates."
Actives are divided into councils according to their primary professional activities: The Editors Council is made up mostly of staff editors, Freelance Council includes self-employed writers and photographers, and the Digital Media Council is open to bloggers and website owners whose sites meet certain traffic and usage minimums. Members may participate in multiple councils, if they meet that council's requirements for membership.
Active and associates are also grouped into geographically determined chapters: The four chapters are the Eastern States, Central States, Western States, and Canadian.
Conferences and Meetings
The Society holds one conference each year, generally in the fall. As much as possible, the location for the conference alternates between international and domestic destinations. Conferences offer a wide range of programs and tours to support networking opportunities, destination familiarization, professional development, and the business of the organization.
SATW conventions typically include:
Chapter, council, and society-wide business meetings
Professional development sessions
A media marketplace that connects actives with associates
Tours that introduce members to the destination
Awards ceremonies for the Lowell Thomas (writing), Bill Muster (photography), and Phoenix (sustainable destination) Awards
Pre-tours and post-tours (usually 2 – 4 days each) before and after the convention are also available. Tours are designed to foster networking between members and to give travel writers an opportunity to research their particular editorial interests.
In addition, each chapter and council holds its own conference; these are usually scaled-down versions of the society-wide convention. Chapter and council conferences include business meetings, professional development sessions, destination-specific information sessions, day-tours, and pre-and post-tours.
For most conferences, (except the Editors Council conferences, which do not seek sponsorship) destinations bid to host the event. Large public relations firms, destinations, and other corporate sponsors cover some of the costs because they consider the event prestigious or because they expect an ROI from the media generated by the hundreds of travel writers who attend: for example, Tourism New Zealand, described the benefits of the 2011 convention in Wellington, saying "North America is a key visitor market for New Zealand and this is a great way to share our holiday experience with potential visitors. Delegates will travel the length and breadth of the country through pre and post tours, and will be writing about their experiences in a huge variety of publications across the US and Canada. West Virginia, which hosted the Freelance Council in 2021, reported that the region saw almost immediate dividends from the travel writers conference. Other examples of recent meetings have included Milwaukee (general convention),Barbados (general convention, 2018), and Shreveport (Central States meeting, postponed due to Covid),
Individual associates attend for professional development and in order to introduce themselves and their clients to active members. Actives attend for professional development, for information about the host destination, for networking, and to glean new ideas and make connections with associates who can assist them in their future projects via information, images, and access to media trips.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic forced SATW address how the pandemic was affecting travel and media coverage of travel for both its members and the general public. The organization postponed most meetings in 2020 and 2021, or met virtually. The Society's 2020 conference, originally scheduled for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was held virtually; in 2021, Milwaukee was able to reschedule the conference and hold it in person. In spring, 2021, the freelance council held an in-person meeting, but the meeting of the central states chapter, scheduled for spring, 2022 in Shreveport Louisiana, was canceled and rescheduled for 2023 owing to the Omicron variant and the resurgence of Covid numbers. As the pandemic developed, meetings were evaluated on an ongoing basis. To spotlight the work of members who were addressing the ramifications of COVID-19 on travel health, safety, and business, the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards Program, administered by the sister organization, the SATW Foundation, instituted an award for travel health writing in 2021.
Professional Development
The Society offers professional development programs both in person and online.
Each conference has a professional development component, with time devoted to multiple sessions and panels. Topics vary from technical issues (computers, apps, website monetization, SEO) to writing and photography techniques to public relations strategies.
SATW professional development also includes year-round online programs that change as the media landscape changes. In recent years, these have included website optimization and writing techniques along with diversity and inclusion training for writers and editors.
Other Member Benefits
Members receive discounts from multiple suppliers of travel gear, car rentals, travel insurance, and other relevant travel-related products. The SATW membership card is recognized by many museums and attractions, allowing for discounts or free entry for working travel writers.

Urban Blues is a live album by violinist and composer Leroy Jenkins. It was recorded in January 1984 at Sweet Basil in New York City, and was released by Black Saint later that year. On the album, Jenkins is joined by members of his band Sting: Terry Jenoure on violin and vocals, Brandon Ross and James Emery on guitar, Alonzo Gardner on bass, and Kamal Sabir on drums.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Ron Wynn wrote: "Violinist Leroy Jenkins was at the helm of Sting, which played funky and free, did originals and vintage spirituals, and would shift from stretches of collective improvisation to challenging solo exchanges. They were a unique, intriguing group, but sadly didn't last. This 1984 album... presented them at their best, displaying the breadth of influences, genres, sources and styles that converged and resulted in the work of a great band. "
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings commented: "Jenkins's working band Sting were capable of great things in a live setting, an impact not unlike that of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time. The instrumentation is strongly reminiscent... but Jenkins redeploys the harmonic and rhythmic emphases differently. Where Prime Time can be bludgeoningly illogical, Sting can sound, as here, perversely rational."

Rutland Flyer is a pair of bus routes operated by Centrebus. The routes are numbered RF1 and RF2. In 2018, route RF1 was carrying over 120,000 passengers each year.
History
On 22 March 2018, Centrebus announced its intention to stop operating the RF1 route. At the time, it was operated on a contract worth £50,392. It was re-tendered with Stagecoach being the only bidder with an offer to operate the route for £270,840 per year. The tendering process was run again resulting in the route being awarded back to Centrebus on a five-year contract for £122,000 per year.
In February 2022, the frequency of both services on Saturdays was reduced to every two hours due to driver shortages.

Only Fools Rush In is a 2022 road trip comedy-drama film written and directed by Han Han. It was released in China on 1 February 2022 and was received poorly by audiences.

Production
The film's Chinese title Sì Hǎi (四海) literally means "four seas" or "the whole world". An early working title was Niánqīng de Gùshi (年轻的故事), "a young story".
The project was officially launched and gained approval for filming in February 2021. The same month, it was reported that shooting had started. It was filmed on Nan'ao Island and in Guangzhou. Production was finished on 20 August 2021 in Guangzhou.
The film features motorcycle racing scenes and a variety of different motorcycles. The film's director, Han Han, who has experience filming car racing, said that motorcycle scenes are much more difficult to film than car scenes. When filming a car scene, Han said, a drone can get very close to the vehicle to get a good shot, and in the event of a collision the damage to the drone is a tolerable cost, but when filming a motorcycle the filmmakers cannot risk a drone accidentally striking the driver.
Release
Only Fools Rush In was released in mainland China on 1 February 2022 (Chinese New Year) and was shown in IMAX theaters. It was advertised as an uplifting film.

Sun Jiayin of Xinmin Evening News wrote that the film's storyline and themes were very similar to Han Han's previous productions (The Continent, Duckweed, and Pegasus), so much so as to make viewers feel as if they had seen it before.

Kannagi are Shinto shamans. The term has a few different writings, one is the 巫, character in common with Miko, however the term is gender neutral and linked to the Chinese Wu shamans.
Overview
A kannagi represents the act of communicating with a devotee of a deity, or a possession of a deity, or a God, or a person who serves in that role. For more information, see Shaman (Fu, Kan-nagi).
Kumagusu Minakata, in his book "Ichiko ni kansuru koto", refers to Priestesss serving shrines as "kannagi", and to walking priestesses as "miko".
Depending on the shrine, the word "kannagi" is used to refer to a miko who serves the shrine, and the word "miko" is used to refer to a walking miko. (Ōmiwa Shrine), Waka (Shiogama Shrine), Tamayorihime, Osame (Katori Shrine), Osome (Kibitsu Shrine), Itsukiko (Matsuo Shrine) Suwa-taisha, Kibitsu Shrine,
Kunio Yanagita says that these two types of maidens were originally the same person, but were later separated, because there are other names for walking maidens, such as Oichi of Suwa Shrine, Sou-no-ichi of Atatsuta Shrine, and Waka of Shiogama Shrine.

Gascoigne Wood Junction railway station was a railway station near Sherburn-in-Elmet in West Yorkshire, England. It was originally opened as a junction station, enabling transfers for passengers between trains. It was later a private halt station for the staff who worked at the Gascoigne Wood marshalling yard. It opened in 1839, and was closed, renamed and re-opened several times before closing completely in 1959. The station was from Leeds New Station, and from .
History
The station, called York Junction, was originally opened in 1839 at a point near to where the Leeds and Selby Railway (L&S) crossed over the York & North Midland Railway (Y&NMR). A north to east curve was built linking the two railways with a station at the east end of the junction. This was closed in 1840 when the L&S became part of the Y&NMR, and traffic for Leeds was diverted to run via and Methley into Leeds Hunslet Lane. Whilst Hunslet Lane was nearer to the centre of Leeds than the Marsh Lane terminus of the L&S, the route to Hunslet Lane from Gascoigne Wood Junction was longer. In December 1850, the station was re-opened as Old Milford Junction (or Old Junction), to allow services to work from the station to Leeds, which was three times per day. The locomotive had no access to a turntable, and rather than turn it on the triangle, it simply worked tender backwards towards Leeds. Until the line between and opened in 1869, services between York and Leeds that were not going through Burton Salmon, were required to reverse at Old Junction. As the line westwards towards Micklefield from Old Junction was on an uphill gradient of 1-in-130, often trains would be split, then reformed between Micklefield and stations (which was on a level section).
In April 1867, it was renamed from Old Junction to Milford Old Junction, and on 1 November 1879, the station was renamed again, this time to Gascoigne Wood Junction. Gascoigne Wood was east of Leeds New Station, west of and to Milford Junction to the south, and the same distance to Sherburn-in-Elmet in the North. The station was located at the western end of the marshalling yard built at Gascoigne Wood for the transfer of coal trains. Land had been bought up surrounding the station, and the yard was built around 1907, when the station was re-opened as a private staff halt, though permission was granted for the families of railway persons working at Gascoigne Wood to use the station. A map from the 1890s shows the station having two platforms with access to all three lines west, south and north, however, the map of 1950 shows a single platform accessible only from the Leeds line.
The yard at Gascoigne Wood was the largest on the NER when it opened, with over of sidings. One signal box was adjacent to the west end of the station, whilst at the eastern end, another signal box was located at Hagg Lane crossing. Combined, along with relief signaller for , the signallers in the two boxes numbered six. In 1897, the NER determined that the station goods yard and the mineral yard (a term for the marshalling yard), each needed a shunter driver. Trip workings of coal from collieries local to the yard were worked from Gascoigne Wood, with engines sourced from Selby.
Whilst the Gascoigne Wood yard was closed in 1959 at the same time as the staff halt station, it was later used to build the pit head for the Selby Coalfield on the site of the former coal sidings.
Chronology
Services
The principle reason behind the station was to enable passengers to transfer between trains on the different lines. Apart from the goods yard, no freight was handled at the station, being listed in the Clearing House Handbook for 1894 as having no freight facilities. In 1862, two Hull to York services worked to Old Junction and then proceeded north, whilst most trains from Hull to Leeds did not stop at Old Junction, going south to and proceeding to Leeds via Methley. Also at this time, the local services on the line from Leeds Marsh Lane terminus arrived at Old Junction and then worked to Milford Junction to terminate. In June 1877, services amounted to six through workings per day between Hull and Leeds. At this point, in the Bradshaw's Timetable, the station is referred to as Old Junction, with Milford Junction being on the old Y&NMR line which ran on a north/south axis. In the 1880s, a connecting service between Old Junction/Gascoigne Wood Junction and Milford Junction (to the south), operated to allow the transfer of passengers between trains.
In 1885, services were listed as being six through the week, and two services on a Sunday, all running between Leeds and Hull.
Incidents
23 December 1850, a train from York had arrived at Old Junction consisting of 22 carriages, and was split to go to Leeds up the 1-in-130 gradient. The first portion was left on a level section between Micklefield and Garforth, with the locomotive returning for the remainder of the train without the guards van. As the locomotive was ascending the bank with the last six vehicles, a cable snapped and they ran away downhill. As there was no guards van, the wagons could not be braked on the downgrade and smashed into a train at Old Junction being formed to go to Leeds. A jury at the inquest found the guard, Edward Grimston, culpable of the accident, and the coroner returned him to Yorkshire Assizes for a charge of manslaughter. At the trial, Grimston was cleared of all manslauhter charges, but was accused of great negligence on not taking the guards van with him as per company policy. There was some debate about whether or not the van would have stopped the wagons as they accelerated over the downgrade.
On 3 May 1880, a passenger train from to Hull was run into by an engine shunting of the same line. The passenger train had just left Milford Junction station and was approaching Gascoigne Wood Junction station. Nine of the passengers were injured, two seriously, and the guard jumped from his van when the two trains collided.

In psychology the light triad scale quantifies empathy, compassion and altruism. The idea was first suggested by Laura Johnson in her 2018 masters thesis. Together these are considered as being the light triad.
The light triad scale assesses people by their responses to statements like:
I think people are mostly good.
I enjoy listening to people from all walks of life.
When I talk to people, I am rarely thinking about what I want from them.
The light triad was inspired by the more established dark triad which assesses negative personality and thoughts. It was expected that the light triad would by highly anticorrelated with the dark triad. That is, a high score on the light triad would correspond to a low score on the dark triad and vice versa. However researchers found that the two were only moderately anticorrelated at −0.48, showing that they are not merely opposites.

A rogue black hole (also termed a free-floating (FFP), interstellar, nomad, orphan, unbound or wandering black hole) is an interstellar object without a host galactic group. They are caused by collisions between two galaxies or when the merging of two black holes is disrupted. It has been estimated that there could be 12 rogue black holes in the Milky Way galaxy.
MOA-2011-BLG-191/OGLE-2011-BLG-0462
In January 2022, a team of astronomers reported the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar black hole with the Hubble Space Telescope. This black hole is located 5,000 ly away, weights 7.1 times that of the Sun, and moves at about 45 km/s.

John David Leslie-Melville, 12th Earl of Leven (5 April 1886 – 11 June 1913) (known as Lord Balgonie from 1889 to 1906) was a Scottish soldier and banker who served as a Representative peer.
Early life
Leslie-Melville was born on 5 April 1886. He was the eldest son of Ronald Leslie-Melville, 11th Earl of Leven and the former Emma Selina Portman (1863–1941). His siblings were Hon. Archibald Alexander Leslie-Melville, Capt. Hon. David William Leslie-Melville, Lt.-Col. Hon. Ian Leslie-Melville, and Lady Constance Betty Leslie-Melville. His father was a very wealthy landowner and resided at Holyrood Palace when he was Lord High Commissioner of Scotland.
His paternal grandparents were John Thornton Leslie-Melville, 9th Earl of Leven and the former Sophia Thornton (a daughter of abolitionist Henry Thornton MP). His maternal grandfather was Henry Portman, 2nd Viscount Portman.
He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, where he used to hunt with the Bicester Hounds.
Career
Lord Leven was a Lieutenant in the Lovat Scouts Yeomanry in the British Army. He served as a Representative Peer for Scotland from 1910 until his death in June 1913. He was also a member of the London banking firm of Frederick Huth & Co.
Upon his father's death on 21 August 1906, he succeeded as the Viscount of Kirkaldie, the Lord Raith, Monymaill and Balwearie, the Earl of Melville, the Earl of Leven, the Lord Melville of Monymaill, the Lord Balgonie. Lord Leven was required to pay death duties of $1,250,000 on the estate, which exceeded $6,500,000. Reportedly, the "depletion of the estate so impressed the successor to it that he insured his life for the benefit of the estate."
Personal life
Lord Leven died, unmarried, on 11 June 1913, "caused by injuries sustained in the hunting field", which was later determined to be "an accidental death". His funeral was held in Scotland, and his titles passed to his younger brother, Archibald. The death duties of over $600,000 were met by the insurance taken out upon his succession to the title. A year later, his brother, a Lieutenant in the Second Dragoons, Royal Scots Greys, was wounded during the "cavalry fight in Waterloo". Lord Leven was left behind when his regiment retreated and later escaped from a German prison disguised as a refugee.

Everything Sad Is Untrue: (A True Story) is a young adult/middle grade autobiographical novel by Daniel Nayeri, published August 25th 2020 by Levine Querido. In 2021, the book won the Michael L. Printz Award, Judy Lopez Memorial Award for Children's Literature, and Middle East Book Award for Youth Literature.
Background
Nayeri has stated that Everything Sad Is Untrue is "entirely biographical" and that "the first version ... was a nonfiction essay for adults." Becasuse "[t]he heart of the story was from the perspective of a pre-teen," he selected his pre-teen self as the narrator, "changed some names, and ... invented dialogue." Aside from these changes, however, Nayeri thinks of the book as a memoir.
Although he began writing the book in his twenties, Nayeri says he had been contemplating it since he was ten years old because, as an immigrant from Iran to Oklahoma, he often found himself explaining himself.
In terms of Everything Sad Is Untrue's guiding principle, Nayeri noted, "The book is immediately asking the reader not to lie to themselves. Not to dare believe they are any better. Not to omit themselves from the guilt. And from there it sets out to convince the reader that strictly speaking, all our memories are lies we tell ourselves."
Reception
Everything Sad is Untrue was generally well-received, including starred reviews from Booklist, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal.
In various reviews, the book was called "[m]esmerizing and hard-hitting," "a modern epic," "impressive,"
Booklist's Ronny Khuri noted, "Nayeri challenges outright what young readers can handle, in form and content, but who can deny him when it’s his own experience on display? He demands much of readers, but in return he gives them everything," and ultimately called the book "[a] remarkable work that raises the literary bar in children’s lit."
BookPage, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, The New York Times, NPR, Publishers Weekly, Today, and The Wall Street Journal named Everything Sad is Untrue one of the best books of the year.
