John Julian McKeithen (May 28, 1918 – June 4, 1999) was the Governor of Louisiana from 1964 to 1972.
Early life
McKeithen was born in Grayson, Louisiana on May 28, 1918. His father was a farmer.
He studied at High Point College, and later received a law degree from Louisiana State University in 1942. He served in the 77th Infantry Division in the Pacific Theater during World War II. After the war, he settled in Columbia, Louisiana and set up a law practice.
Political career
1948-1963
McKeithen was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives in 1948. Governor Earl K. Long appointed him as floor leader despite his lack of experience and low profile. He lost the race for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in 1952, and in 1954 was elected to the Louisiana Public Service Commission.
First term as governor
McKeithen entered the 1963 Democratic primary for Governor of Louisiana. He ran as a populist, running direct-to-camera commercials with a signature catchphrase of "Won't you he'p me?" As was typical for Southern Democrats, he ran as a segregationist, insinuating that his chief rival (New Orleans mayor deLesseps Story Morrison) was an integrationist supported by the NAACP. McKeithen won the Democratic nomination, which in the Deep South at the time was tantamount to election, and defeated the Republican candidate Charlton Lyons in the 1964 general election.
McKeithen's first term saw the construction of the Louisiana Superdome, reforms to the state code of ethics, and the Civil Rights Movement.
Shortly after McKeithen's election, he began sending secret payments to the Ku Klux Klan in an attempt to "buy peace" and suppress Klan violence. In one incident, a confident of McKeithen's was sent to Bogalusa with $10,000 in cash to be split equally between local Klan leaders and the local chapter of Deacons for Defense and Justice.
Despite his running as a segregationist in 1963, he oversaw the beginning of school integration in Louisiana, and called out the Louisiana National Guard to protect civil rights activists marching from Bogalusa to Baton Rouge. In a speech to a Black audience in 1966, he said regarding integration: "I know I’m not leaving this state, and I don’t think you’re leaving either. So we’ve got to solve our problem."
McKeithen was popular in his first term, and successfully engineered the passage of a constitutional referendum that allowed governors to run for re-election, the first time this had been allowed in Louisiana in the 20th century.
Second term as governor
McKeithen defeated Congressman John Rarick by a wide margin in the 1967 Democratic primary for Governor, and was elected unopposed in the 1968 general election. During his second term, a series of articles in Life magazine alleged that he was connected to the New Orleans mafia, though definitive proof did not emerge.
Later life and death
After the completion of his second term, McKeithen retired to his farm in Columbia, Louisiana and continued to practice law. He managed an oil and gas company and was appointed to the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University in 1983.
McKeithen underwent heart surgery in 1997, after which his health declined. On June 4, 1999, McKeithen passed away at the age of 81 in Columbia.

The 3rd Lithuanian Light Cavalry Lancers Regiment of the Imperial Guard ( / ) was a foreign Lithuanian light cavalry lancers regiment which served as part of Napoleon's Imperial Guard during the Napoleonic Wars.
Formed during the French invasion of Russia with members of the Lithuanian nobility, the regiment came under the command of General Jan Konopka, Major of the Polish Lancers of the Imperial Guard. Tasked with going to Minsk in October 1812, two squadrons under Konopka's command were annihilated en route to Slonim by Russian troops; the last two squadrons, therefore, constitute the nucleus of the corps. The 3rd Lancers was finally disbanded on 22 March 1813 and its elements were incorporated into the Polish Lancers of the Imperial Guard.
Napoleon quickly realized the military potential offered by the Lithuanians and wanted to create a large Lithuanian army. He personally takes care of the units of the Imperial Guard, counting, in addition to the Lithuanian lancers, a squadron of the Lithuanian Tatars of the Imperial Guard.
Organisation
At the start of the Russian campaign in 1812, the Grande Armée was enthusiastically received by the Lithuanian population, so Napoleon decided to take advantage of the situation. On 5 July 1812, he decreed the formation of the 3rd regiment of lancers integrated into the Imperial Guard, with a theoretical strength of 1,218 men divided into five squadrons. Two squadrons were then formed in Warsaw with Lithuanian nobles. General Jan Konopka, Major of the Polish 1st Guards Lancers, took command of the corps, assisted by Majors Tanski and Chlusowicz. The volunteers must obtain the uniform, the horse and the necessary equipment at their own expense: the decree fixes the size of the horses between 4 feet 6 inches and 4 feet 9 inches, and the pay is the same as that of the 2nd Light Cavalry Lancers Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
Disaster at Slonim
In 1812 began the Russian campaign in which the regiment took part. In October, General Konopka received the order in Grodno to lead his two squadrons to Minsk and decided on the way to stop at the village of Slonim. The lancers were confined there for several days, despite the remarks of Colonel-Major Casimir Tanski who was sent back to Grodno by Konopka. On October 19, the night following its departure, the 3rd Lancers was attacked by surprise by General Czaplicz's Russian soldiers, belonging to Admiral Pavel Chichagov's army corps. General Konopka, wounded, was taken prisoner with 55 officers and non-commissioned officers, 5 trumpets and 186 light horses, the others being killed or wounded. The lancers also lost the papers and accounts of the corps as well as important equipment.
The two other squadrons recently formed, under the orders of Colonel-Major Tanski in Grodno, therefore constituted the 3rd Lancers and received in January 1813 a reinforcement of 60 Lithuanian gendarmes. The same month, the light horses were attached to the 1st light cavalry lancer regiment. On 22 March 1813, the corps was officially dissolved and its elements transferred to the 1st regiment of lancers of the Guard, but this merger only became effective on April 11.
Uniforms
"General Konopka formed [the regiment] for Napoleon's guard; it was composed largely of young people from the first families of Lithuania and Volhynia; one cannot form an idea of the richness and elegance of their costumes and the beauty of their horses."— Statement by Alexandre Andrault de Langeron, French general in the service of the Russian Empire, in his Memoirs.
The regiment's uniforms are made under the responsibility of Lieutenant Cichocki, in charge of clothing. Unable to establish a store of supplies in a country at war, the lancers receive their effects as and when villages are encountered and contracts made between the clothing officer and the local inhabitants.
The dress is similar to that of the 1st Polish Lancer regiment; only the buttons, in brass or gold, as well as the piping and cords, yellow or gold, differ. An illustration from Ronald Pawly's Napoleon's Polish Lancers of the Imperial Guard shows a 3rd Regiment lancer based on a contemporary watercolour. The rider represented wears a czapska in crimson fluted cloth, surmounted by a white plume, with cords and rackets of the same. The czapska is adorned on the front with a copper plate. The "kurtka" (coat) is blue with crimson lapels, with white braid and buttons. The facings and turnbacks are crimson and piped white. The epaulette, the aiguillette and the belt are white. The road pants are grey canvas, with a crimson band trimmed with a row of white buttons. In trumpets, the czapska is white with yellow or crimson cords and crimson plume. The kurtka is crimson with white lapels and gold piping. The pants are blue with a double yellow stripe.

He held high-ranking military positions in the interwar Lithuania: Chief of the Lithuanian Air Force, Chief of the General Staff, multiple times temporarily was the Chief of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, and was assigned Chief of the Lithuanian Armed Forces by the Provisional Government of Lithuania during the June Uprising in Lithuania.
Personal life
In 1923, Pundzevičius married Teofilija Ona Chmieliauskaitė, who on 1928 gave birth to their son Rimantas Kazimieras Pundzevičius.
Early life
Pundzevičius was born on 2 September 1893 in Laibiškiai, Skapiškis County, Russian Empire. In 1913, he graduated from the Panevėžys Real School and since 1914 studied at the Kyiv Institute of Commerce. In 1915, he worked as a clerk for the Union of the All-Russian Land in Smolensk.
In 1916, Pundzevičius was mobilized into the Imperial Russian Army and after graduating from the Orenburg School of Praporshchiks he fought in the Northern Front of the World War I. In 1918, he was taken prisoner by the Germans and upon being released he returned to Lithuania.
Interwar Lithuania
Following his return to Lithuania, Pundzevičius was mobilized into the Lithuanian Armed Forces on 4 July 1919 and was appointed Adjutant of the First Division Headquarters.
In 1920, Pundzevičius participated in the preparation of the battle plan for the Battle of Giedraičiai (with Juozas Lanskoronskis). In 1919–20, he participated in the Lithuanian Wars of Independence with the Russian SFSR, the West Russian Volunteer Army, and the Polish Armed Forces.
1921, Pundzevičius was appointed Chief of Staff of the Fourth Infantry Regiment in Alytus, and on 25 June 1921 he was promoted to the military rank of captain.
In 1922, Pundzevičius graduated from the Higher Officers' Courses and was appointed Chief of the Third (Operations) Division of the General Staff.
In 1923, Pundzevičius participated in the Klaipėda Revolt.
On 1 November 1923, Pundzevičius was sent to studies at the Academy of the General Staff of Prague. Upon graduating it in 1925, he was granted rights of an officer of the General Staff and was appointed Commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment. On 16 February 1926, he was promoted to the military rank of lieutenant colonel of the General Staff.
In 1926–27, Pundzevičius lectured at the War School of Kaunas. In 1926, he published his book Pėstininkų taktika ().
On 12 March 1927, Pundzevičius was appointed Chief of the Lithuanian Air Force, and on 1 May 1927 he was elected member of the Board of the Lithuanian Aeroclub. Pundzevičius was one of the founders of the Lithuanian Aeroclub.
On 23 November 1929, Pundzevičius was promoted to the military rank of colonel of the General Staff.
On 1 May 1934, Pundzevičius was appointed Commander of the Second Infantry Division and Chief of the Kaunas' Garrison. He lectured military tactics at the Higher Officers' Courses and War School of Kaunas. On 13 July 1934, he was transferred to the Third Infantry Division in Šiauliai as Chief of Staff.
On 19 August 1935, Pundzevičius was appointed Commander of the First Infantry Division and Chief of the Panevėžys' Garrison. On 22 November 1935, he was promoted to the military rank of lieutenant general (following the military ranks reform of 28 December 1936 – brigadier general).
On 23 November 1938, Pundzevičius was promoted to the military rank of division general. On 4 April 1939, he was appointed Chief of the General Staff, and multiple times temporarily served as Commander-in-Chief of the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
On 22 March 1939, when the Chief of the Staff of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Jonas Černius took over the command of the Government of Lithuania, Pundzevičius was appointed Chief of Staff of the Lithuanian Armed Forces by the order of the Commander of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Stasys Raštikis. He was the 22nd and the last Chief of Staff of independent Lithuania's armed forces.
In 1940, when Raštikis left the position of the Commander of the Lithuanian Armed Forces there were two candidates for this position: generals Mikas Rėklaitis and Pundzevičius. However, then general Vincas Vitkauskas became the Commander of the Lithuanian Armed Forces and Pundzevičius became Chief of Staff of the Lithuanian Armed Forces. It is unknown why Pundzevičius refused to become the Commander of the Lithuanian Armed Forces and gave up this position to Vitkauskas, who turned out to be pro-Soviet.
On 1–2 October 1939, only one matter was discussed at the meeting of the Government of Lithuania – the demobilization of the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Generals Raštikis and Pundzevičius did not participate in this meeting. It is likely that this happened because the tautininkai in power did not trust the officers. The government was determined to make the said political decision without high-ranking military officers. Following this meeting, the Soviet–Lithuanian Mutual Assistance Treaty was accepted and the military bases of the Red Army were established in Lithuania in exchange for the Lithuanian capital Vilnius. On 23 October 1939, Chief of Staff of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Pundzevičius and some other high-ranking officers of the Lithuanian Armed Forces met the Soviet military delegation. In this way, the Red Army was met without any resistance, which later resulted in many victims.
On 15 June 1940, less than a few hours after the last meeting of the government, the Commander of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Vitkauskas issued the following order: "Brigadier general Kazys Musteikis has widrawn. The position of the Minister of National Defense, as assigned by the President of the Republic, since 15 June will temporarily be led by me". This order of Vitkauskas was also signed by Pundzevičius. Then the Chief of Staff of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Pundzevičius issued an order that the Ninth Infantry Regiment must depart to help President Antanas Smetona to return. As it is now known, Pundzevičius did everything not of his own free will, but followed the instructions of the Government of Lithuania.
Occupations and World War II
Following the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in June 1940, Pundzevičius served as Chief of Staff of the Lithuanian People's Army. On 2 September 1940, he was appointed Commander of the 179th Rifle Division of the 29th Rifle Corps of the Red Army, however on 11 December 1940 the order was cancelled and he was fired from the armed forces. The reason for firing given by the Political commissar of the 29th Rifle Corps of the Red Army was political inaction. Soon the arrests of high-ranking Lithuanian officers began and Colonel Antanas Gustaitis, the Chief of Staff of the 179th Division, was the first to be arrested. Pundzevičius, who did not voluntarily resigned from military service, was looking for a job everywhere, but none wanted to accept him. Security agents regularly visited Pundzevičius' home. Later Pundzevičius learned from his close friends that the preparations are taking place to arrest him, thus he hid.
Pundzevičius actively participated in the underground activities of the Lithuanian Activist Front (LAF). Following the start of the Soviet–German War in 1941, he was one of the organizers and managers of the June Uprising in Lithuania. One 24 June 1941, the National Defense Council was formed, which included div. gen. Stasys Pundzevičius, div. gen. Mikas Rėklaitis, Col. Juozas Vėbra, Kaunas Military Commandant Col. Jurgis Bobelis and Kaunas Burgomaster Kazimieras Palčiauskas. The members of the council were soldiers who held high positions in the army of independent Lithuania. On the same 24 June 1941, Pundzevičius was appointed Chief of the Lithuanian Armed Forces by the Provisional Government of Lithuania. He together with Stasys Raštikis advised Algirdas Klimaitis to disappear from Kaunas and not to participate in pogrom, however Klimaitis tried to excuse that he is being forced and was threatened by the German Security Police that if he refused to do so – he would face punishment – execution by firing squad. On 15 September 1941, he together with other representatives of the LAF (e.g. Vladas Nagevičius) signed a memorandum Apie Lietuvos būklę pradėjus veikti vokiečių civilinei valdžiai Lietuvoje (). Following it, he worked as a teacher in Kaunas until 1944. During the German occupation of Lithuania, Pundzevičius not only actively participated in resistance activities, but also contributed a lot to preventing the Germans from establishing a Lithuanian Legion of the Waffen-SS.
Emigration
In 1944, Pundzevičius departed to Germany, and in 1949 he emigrated to the United States. He lived in Great Neck, New York and worked as a gardener.
Pundzevičius died on 20 October 1980 and was buried at the St. Charles Cemetery in Long Island, State of New York. His wife died before him.

Little Owl (Arapaho: Beah-at-sah-ah-tch-che) was a Northern Arapaho chief who signed the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1851). Disturbed by the ways in which the United States government neglected to honor their promises made in the treaty, Little Owl refused to participate in discussion and signing of the Fort Wise Treaty.
Life
Little Owl was chief of the Long Legs band of the Northern Arapaho people. His relative, Sherman Sage, a later elder, described life among his family. People lived in family groups, generally of groupings of sisters. There were generally four bands of northern Arapaho: the Beavers, Greasy Faces, the Quick-to-anger, and the Long Legs or Antelopes. They lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle who moved together in groups throughout the seasons. They gathered with other groups for hunting and ceremonies, like the Sun Dance. There was one chief for each band and a head chief, usually of the Long Legs band. The head chief negotiated with leaders of other Native American tribes and whites. The head chief "possessed great influence over the whole; that his mandates were uniformly characterized by discretion and propriety, and were regarded by his subjects as inviolable laws." Little Owl followed Bear Claw as head chief. Little Owl's successor was Medicine Man.
Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851
Little Owl, a friendly middle-aged chief, was selected as the Arapaho head chief to sign the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1851). From the South Arapaho were Cute Nose and Big Man. Autho-nishah, an elder of the Arapaho nation, urged Little Owl and other signers to make a moral commitment to honor the provisions of the treaty. He said, "the Great Spirit is over us, and sees us all." Little Owl was respected by the white people who knew him. During negotiations, Little Owl and other Arapaho presented their positions with a conciliatory tone, as opposed to the Sioux, who gave "begging speeches". Little Owl wore a uniform of a high-ranking officer that was a gift from the United States government. The uniform identified him as a powerful Arapaho. Big Man and Little Owl signed the amended treaty for the Arapaho on August 31, 1853. Upon signing the treaty, the Northern Arapaho were a federally recognized tribe.
Broken promises
After 1851, Friday became an interpreter for Little Owl. Little Owl's band consisted of 180 lodges who visited the surveying party of Ferdinand V. Hayden and Captain William F. Raynolds.
The Arapaho people had often camped at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. With the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, miners settled in the area that became the city of Denver. The Arapahos had tried to live peacefully with white men.
In the 1850s, the United States government broke their treaty agreements, which ruined the reputation of the friendly chiefs who had signed the 1851 treaty. Warriors were more revered. A newcomer to treaty negotiations, Medicine Man was selected as the Arapaho's spokesman at the 1859 treaty council. Other headmen in attendance were Little Owl, Black Bear, Friday, and Cut Nose.
Fort Wise Treaty
Little Owl refused to participate in the signing or recognition of the Treaty of Fort Wise (1861). The Colorado bands of Arapahoes were ready to accept life on a reservation at Sand Creek, while Little Owl and Friday wished to continue to live along the Cache la Poudre River in northern Colorado. Little Owl was still against moving his band of about 50 lodges to Sand Creek in 1863, when the reservation was established. There was no game on the land, and buffalo were 100 or more miles away. At the time, there was also dissension between the Northern and Southern Arapaho people. Starvation became a significant issue that caused concern that the Southern Arapaho might join the Sioux in a war against the whites.
During the Sand Creek massacre of November 29, 1864, whites attacked an encampment of Arapaho and Cheyenne without provocation. After that, Arapaho became known as "war chiefs" for their wars against the whites in Colorado, Wyoming, and Kansas.

Jeremiah "Jerre" Dobbs, Jr., (March 24, 18321909) was an American lawyer, Democratic politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He served in the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Fond du Lac County during the 1870 session, and served as commissioner of the Wisconsin Bureau of Labor, Census, and Industrial Statistics during the 1890s.
Biography
Jeremiah Dobbs, Jr., was born in March 1832, in Saugerties, New York. He received a common school education at Williamson, New York, then went to work as a clerk in a general store in Rochester, New York. He began the study of law at Newark, New Jersey, but went west to Wisconsin in 1849, and settled at Lake Mills. He continued his study of the law and was admitted to the bar at Jefferson, Wisconsin, in 1851, then began a practice in Lake Mills.
He moved to Ripon, Wisconsin, about 1853 and became one of the most prominent lawyers in that part of the state. He served for several years as a member of the Ripon city council and the Fond du Lac County board of supervisors, and was chairman of the county board. He was an unsuccessful candidate for district attorney in 1862. He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1869, representing Fond du Lac County's 1st Assembly district—the northwestern corner of the county. He ran for Wisconsin State Senate in 1872, but lost to William Hiner.
Dobbs was a staunch Democrat and was a frequent delegate to state and district Democratic conventions. His contemporaries described him as one of the political bosses of the Fond du Lac County Democratic Party, who "took conventions under their wings and flew away with them."
He was a friend and political ally of George Wilbur Peck, and after Peck was elected governor, he appointed Dobbs to the position of commissioner of the Wisconsin Bureau of Labor, Census, and Industrial Statistics. Dobbs served through Peck's two terms as governor, and remained after his term ended, arguing that the new governor did not have the authority to remove him. The Legislature finally passed a law in March 1895 which legislated Dobbs out of the office.
In addition to his legal career, Dobbs was a director of the Oshkosh & Mississippi Railroad Co. He was elected city attorney of Ripon several times, including his election in 1908, despite not running for the office in that election.

"The Abu Dhabi Final Lap Controversy", was a sporting controversy that occurred during the last lap of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix; a Formula One race held on 12 December 2021 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The race ending was disputed after the race director of Formula One racing, Michael Masi, seemingly made a few unconventional decisions, which pundits argued influenced the outcome of the final race win, and the winner of the 2021 Formula One World Championship.
Lewis Hamilton, placed second in the Championship (on equal points with championship leader Max Verstappen) was in first, led for the majority of the race and was leading by 12 seconds, with 5 laps remaining.
In the closing stages of the race, a safety car neutralised the race, wiping out Hamilton's 12-second lead. That and an unusually early withdrawal of the safety car, led to a 1-lap race to the chequered flag, between Hamilton and championship contender Max Verstappen, who compared to Hamilton had pitted for fresh tires, culminating in an overtake, race win and the championship.
Mercedes' protested the result on the grounds that the rules of safety car withdrawal were not followed. The racing stewards however rejected the protest, admitting although some rules "may not have been applied fully", the race director still had "overriding authority".
The events leading up to the last lap, have been viewed as one the most controversial finishes and season endings in the history of Formula One, and left observers surprised, as a Formula One race had never ended this way before.
Background
The beginning of the season, started with Max Verstappen, racing for Red Bull Honda highly favoured to win the championship. Due to Red Bull seemingly adapting to regulations of car construction, and 7-time Formula One World Champion and the defending World Champion Lewis Hamilton`s team Mercedes AMG Petronas struggling, Red Bull appeared to have an advantage with a "quicker car" at the beginning of the season.
However, a late October surge in car and engine optimization of Mercedes, led to Lewis Hamilton winning the three last races, while Red Bull appeared to struggle to keep up with the rate of Mercedes end of season engine development. Four days before the race, Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner acknowledged they would "need a miracle" to win the Championship.
The constellation before the last race was therefore title rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, entering the last round both having 369.5 championship points, making this the first time since 1974, championship contenders were level on points at the last race of the season. With both drivers level on points, the driver who scored the most points would win the championship.
With the ongoing rivalry, concerns soon emerged both drivers might cause a race collision, due to several on-track battles Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen had during the season. There was indeed cause for concern, as previous collisions, during the 1989, 1990, and 1994 Championship, have led to drivers with more points or race wins, winning the Championship.
To prevent a scenario like this from happening again, race director Michael Masi cautioned both drivers, they could face FIA - (The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile; English: International Automobile Federation) sanctions, including point reduction, championship disqualification, or future race bans, if they staged a race-ending collision.
Additionally, according to the race director, "it had long been agreed" between all the teams that "where possible it was highly desirable for the race to end in `green` condition" (that is the race not ending with a safety car).
The race until lap 53
The race started at 17:00 pm local time on Sunday 12 December 2021 and was up till lap 53, fairly uneventful.
Lewis Hamilton led from the start, overtaking Max Verstappen before the first corner. Both almost had a first-lap collision at the corner of turn 6. Hamilton avoided the collision and emerged with a slight lead ahead of Verstappen. The racing stewards concluded Lewis Hamilton didn't need to hand the place back.
During lap 35, Alfa Romeo racing driver Antonio Giovinazzi retired his car because of gearbox problems, triggering a virtual safety car. Red Bull used this opportunity to swap Verstappen's tires to a new set of hard compound tires without losing track position; Mercedes opted not to change their tires, fearing they might lose 1st-place position.
The final 5 laps and orders made by race control
After a 1-hour, 25-minute race, race leader Hamilton had acquired a 12 second lead ahead of 2nd placed Max Verstappen.
Deployment of the safety car
On lap 53 Williams driver Nicholas Latifi, crashed into the barriers, triggering a safety car period.
After Latifi's car and remaining debris were cleared, it became unclear around lap 56/57, whether there would be enough laps left to resume racing. In lap 56 race control issued a notice on the official time and message board.1827 LAPPED CARS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO OVERTAKEThis led to Red Bull Team Principal, Christian Horner lobbying the race director to unlap lapped cars and race for one more lap, and in turn Mercedes Team Boss, Toto Wolff, lobbying not to withdraw the safety car until the end of the race.
The ensuing dispute therefore mainly revolved around, whether or not a conventional approach to ending a safety car period, should have been adopted.
Traditional ending of a safety car period: safety car staying out two additional laps
According to regulations and previous precedent, including Michael Masi, race directors resumed racing, by:a) allowing all lapped cars (that is, stragglers that hadn`t completed the same amount of laps as the race leader) to overtake the safety car,
b) giving lapped cars one lap to the join the back of the grid, (in this case lap 57) and
c) afterwards, after the last lapped had rejoined the grid, in the following lap, giving the safety car another one lap to peel into the pit lane, (in this case at the end of lap 58).
In this scenario, according to Mercedes`, Hamilton would have won the race and the championship, as there wouldn't have been enough time for a final lap. The cars would have needed two laps (lap 57 and lap 58) to drive to the back of the queue, for the safety car to drive into the pit lane, and Hamilton would have crossed the finish line a few meters hereafter.
There had been previous precedent, when Sebastian Vettel won a World Championship behind a safety car in 2012.
Modified safety car ending in this race: safety car immediately returning to the pit lane
The race director, however slightly modified the procedure in this race, by unlapping a few cars and immediately withdrawing the safety car, in one lap (lap 57):a) he ordered five out of eight cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap and overtake the safety car. These lapped cars were unable to join the back of the grid, as the race restarted after they passed the safety car.
b) Race control immediately withdrew the safety car, the same lap 57, to enable a last lap race to the finish line.
c) In addition, the remaining three lapped cars (Daniel Ricciardo, Lance Stroll and Mick Schumacher) on new tires, weren`t allowed to unlap themselves. This meant they were unable to race against the first group of lapped cars on worn tires (Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso, Esteban Ocon, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel).The decision of the race director, picking a few cars to unlap, and withdrawing the safety car at the same time, has never been seen in Formula One, and appeared to be a new safety car procedure.
These instructions, and also the fact that Mercedes had not swapped fresher tires unto Hamilton`s car, enabled Verstappen to pass Hamilton into turn 5, to take the lead a few seconds before the end of the race.
In the end, Hamilton finished second and Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr. finished third, with Verstappen taking the World Drivers' Championship title.
Race classification
Legal proceedings
The legal row which ensued, questioned if the actions of the race director were covered by FIA safety car regulations.
Mercedes' post-race protests
Mercedes filed a formal protest against the result of the race, asserting:
Verstappen had overtaken Hamilton at the end of the safety car period, and
By only allowing the five cars directly in front of Verstappen to unlap themselves, but not providing any opportunity for the three other cars in front of Sainz to unlap themselves, as directed by regulations, race control had contravened the F1 Sporting Regulations,
and the restart should have occurred the following lap after all cars had been allowed to unlap themselves, and therefore the result of the race had been invalid.
Red Bull`s counter-argument
According to Red Bull,
Article 15.3 of the FIA Sporting Regulations gives the race director overriding authority over the use, deployment, and withdrawal of the safety car;
Article 48.13, which governs the withdrawal of the safety car, overrides Article 48.12;
Furthermore, Red Bull contended:
that "any", does not mean "all", therefore not all cars were required to lap the race leaders under Article 48.12, and
the result of the race wouldn`t have changed anyway if all nine lapped cars had been allowed to unlap.
The race director`s argument
The race director stated:
the teams had agreed, where possible, they would highly prefer for the race to finish under "green" racing, instead of ending under a safety car.
In his view, Article 48.13 applied in this case because the purpose of Article 48.12 was to remove lapped cars that would "interfere" with the race between the leading cars.
The Racing Stewards ruling
The FIA stewards Gary Connelly, Felix Holter, Mohamed Al Hashmi, as well as the Driver Steward Derek Warwick based their decisions on Articles 15.3; 48.12, and 48.13 of the Formula One Sporting regulations.
The Stewards rejected the protest, noting Verstappen never overtook Hamilton during the safety car. They conceded "although article 48.12 may not have been applied fully" in relation to the safety car returning at the end of the following lap, the race director had "overriding authority", pointing out the race director had the right to make any rule regarding safety car deployment; furthermore announcing Hamilton as race winner in lap 57 was essentially shortening the race.
Verstappen was therefore provisionally confirmed as race winner and world champion, pending any appeal.
Mercedes appeal
After the stewards` ruling, Mercedes lodged their intention to appeal to the FIA's International Court of Appeal, however, later decided not to go forward with their appeal, in response to the FIA's announcement it would perform a "detailed analysis and clarification exercise" of the incident.
Aftermath
Reactions from current or former drivers, engineers, team members, managers
Reactions questioning race controls decisions
Lewis Hamilton
In a last-lap radio message, Hamilton exclaimed this was "getting manipulated", to his race engineer Peter Bonnington.
Peter Bonnington
After the chequered flag, Bonnington remarked: "I'm just speechless Lewis, absolutely speechless".
Carlos Sainz Jr.
Carlos Sainz Jr. stated after the race, the directive to resume racing sandwiched between lapped drivers with fresh tires in front and drivers with fresh tires behind was "very strange to see" and "nearly cost him (his) podium".
Lando Norris
Lando Norris, who was the first of the drivers permitted to unlap themselves, remarked the decisions in the last lap were "made for TV" and "whether or not it was fair" was not up for him to decide.
Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso, the second of the lapped drivers added his thoughts about the confusion at the sudden instruction for only a few cars, but not all cars to unlap themselves, "was a little bit confusing" . Regarding the race director creating the last lap shootout, Alonso told Dutch TV station Ziggo Sport: "That was pure luck, we have to be honest about that"
Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc, the fourth of the lapped drivers said "it was a bit weird"
Sebastian Vettel
Sebastian Vettel, in an interview after the race recounted, he got the message to unlap himself very late: "I think too late". But he also spoke on behalf of race control, saying they "had a tough job" and it was difficult "to get it 100 per cent right".
Daniel Ricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo during the race remarked "whatever just happened, it seemed pretty f***ed up”. In an interview after the race, he noted he was "speechless" at the decision making, especially as the decision of the race director did not allow him to also race the five-car pack, while he was on newer soft-compound tires.
Lance Stroll
Lance Stroll in an interview after the race, told reporters not being waved through to overtake the safety car, and join the other lapped drivers was "frustrating and something he did not understand".
Two months later he elaborated further, saying a race director "can`t change the rules halfway through" at the end of the race, and "it`s just never been done before". He pointed out that it was important to "keep rules consistent" without "making up rules at the end of a race". He concluded that was "manipulating the rules in a way, and I just don`t think that`s right"
George Russell
Williams F1 driver George Russell who didn't finish the race and retired earlier due to a gearbox failure, called the last lap decisions "absolutely unacceptable. I cannot believe what we’ve just seen".
Alain Prost
Former Formula One driver and 4-time 1985, 1986, 1989, and 1993 World Champion Alain Prost reflected on the decisions by the race director in an exclusive interview with RacingNews365.com, observing that "it was not very correct"
Damon Hill
1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill remarked that race control appeared to be without precedent, and decisions increasingly becoming "guess what I`m going to do now"
Nico Rosberg
2016 Formula One World Champion Nico Rosberg felt Masi "did not follow the rules", and said Christian Horner demanding "one more lap of racing" to Masi via radio was inappropriate. But he also sympathised with Masi, commenting: "He's got the whole world watching and he has to decide in the next 15 seconds what he’s doing."
Juan Pablo Montoya
Former Formula One driver and 7-time race winner, Juan Pablo Montoya gave a video interview on Motorsport.com in which he criticised that race control didn't wave the lapped cars in front of Carlos Sainz Jr. to the back of the grid. He also remarked that race control didn't follow sporting rules, but was rather "putting on a good show".
Timo Glock
Former Formula One and DTM racing driver, and current Sky Germany F1 analyst Timo Glock, remarked "it felt like the FIA didn`t know its own rules.” He continued that although there was pressure for the race directors and the stewards, to make the decision, "they also have to know what the rulebook is."
Stefan Johansson
Former Formula One driver for Ferrari, McLaren, and Ligier, and 12-time podium finisher Stefan Johansson reflected on his blog page that he had predicted before the race, the race would not be decided between the drivers, but rather by "another random call" which was the culmination of a series of incredibly "bad calls as the year went on". He continued that the decision of the race director "completely ignored any level of common sense".
Karun Chandhok
Former Formula One driver (now TV Analyst) Karun Chandhok, remarked the direction from race control was "confusing", as first they stated lapped cars will not be allowed to overtake the safety car at which time Lewis Hamilton wasn't able to change his tires anymore; followed by the instruction that five cars were allowed to overtake the safety car.
Christijan Albers
Former Dutch Formula One driver Christijan Albers commented this was not the only "confused call" by Michael Masi. He told De Telegraaf, that the race director made a "mistake by only allowing five cars to unlap themselves".
Hans-Joachim Stuck
German former March and Brabham Formula One driver Hans-Joachim Stuck called the situation a "mess" with "decisions that nobody can understand anymore" in an exclusive interview with Eurosport Germany. He continued that Verstappen "owed the title to Masi", because without him he would have "never been able to drive past Hamilton"
John Watson
Former Formula One driver and 5-time Grand Prix winner John Watson weighed in, saying the race director had other options like "red flagging the race" in an interview with RacingNews365.com. He acknowledged that Hamilton was not cheated out of the championship, "but was done out" by the actions of the race director."
Peter Windsor
Former Williams team manager and current F1 analyst Peter Windsor gave his views on the race in his weekly YouTube video analysis. He explained because the paragraphs are all written chronologically, following each other sequentially and logically, he doubted that the safety car regulations are variables that the race director "can play around with".
He went on to explain that the race director had two options: a) finishing the race without the cars unlapping themselves; then there would have been one lap left to resume racing, or b) the cars unlapping; then the safety car would have ended the race, and the option the race director chose, was a "split in between, down the middle".
Johnny Herbert
Former Formula One driver and 3-time Grand Prix winner, Johnny Herbert wrote in a column for "The Times", that the FIA "got it wrong" and "robbed" Lewis Hamilton of the championship. He explained that in the past all lapped cars behind a safety car where allowed to pass not just a couple, and for the race director to "muck it up so badly, left a bad taste".
Martin Brundle
Three days after the race, former Formula One driver and current Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle, expressed his thoughts in a SkySports column. He laid out the race director could have chosen two options: red flagging the race or finishing the race under a safety car. However, Brundle also explained he is neither making any accusations, nor is he sympathizing with anyone, and although he understands why Hamilton might "feel aggrieved", Michael Masi had a "tough job" which was made harder by the F1 teams themselves.
Eddie Jordan
Former team owner of the Jordan F1 racing team, Eddie Jordan, weighed in, saying the decision only to let the drivers between the two frontrunners unlap themselves "confused" him. He also criticized Lewis Hamilton for what he felt was "being too nice", because "nice guys don`t win titles".
Narain Karthikeyan
Former Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan, bemoaned the unfairness of the procedure and said what happened "wasn`t sport". To him it seemed like "they" wanted Max (Verstappen) to win. With regards to the race director, he added the calls were made under tremendous pressure and "it went terribly wrong".
Walter Röhrl
German rally legend, 2-time WRC World Rally Champion, and former Le Mans endurance race winner, Walter Röhrl, commented in an interview with the Straubinger Tagblatt, he'll not "fool himself" watching a Formula One race in the future. He called for races to be decided in a "fair, clear process that is not influenced by opaque external instructions".
Sébastien Ogier
FIA WRC World Rally Championship driver and 8-time WRC World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier observed that Hamilton was "robbed, let`s not be afraid to say it".
Nyck de Vries
Dutch Formula One reserve driver Nyck de Vries in an interview remarked, although Verstappen deserved the title, race control made some decisions that "were not by the book" and came as a "surprise"
David Coulthard
Former Formula One Williams, McLaren and Red Bull driver and 13-time race winner, David Coulthard, now Channel 4 TV commentator, noted on BBC Breakfast the next morning, the safety car led to "a sequence of events that none of us have seen before."
Susie Wolff
Susie Wolff, CEO of Formula E team Venturi and ex-Formula One test driver proclaimed the way "Lewis was robbed" left her in "utter disbelief". She added, one person applied a rule in a way which has "never been done before in F1, single-handedly deciding the F1 world championship", and concluded rules can not be changed "on a whim" at the end of a race.
Alexander Rossi
Former Formula One driver, current IndyCar driver, and 7-time race winner Alexander Rossi, observed that Verstappen deserved the championship, "buttttt he didn`t love any of the way that went down."
William Darrell Wallace Jr. ("Bubba Wallace")
William Darrell Wallace Jr. (also known as Bubba Wallace), NASCAR race winner declared: "Wtf was that?!?"
James Hinchcliffe
IndyCar driver and 6-time race winner, James Hinchcliffe, noted racing was "wild" when "Netflix is making the calls”.
Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick, former NASCAR driver and IndyCar race winner, responded to James Hinchcliffe that it "didn’t seem fair", but was "exciting to watch!"
Reactions supportive of race control
The following race drivers and motorsports officials, maintained the actions of race control were within the safety car rules.
Max Verstappen
After the race Max Verstappen commented: "Finally a bit of luck for me".
Christian Horner
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner remarked, a decision at the beginning of the race went against Verstappen, and at the end of the race went for him "just at the right time". Horner defended race director Michael Masi, saying he made the right decision and followed the rules; especially since Formula One adopted a "Let them race" doctrine”.
Dr. Helmut Marko
Former Formula One driver, current Red Bull racing adviser and head of Red Bull young driver development program, Dr. Helmut Marko, reflected that Masi simply wanted to find a sporting solution for the last lap, and he was overwhelmed by team bosses "constantly interfering" with race management.
Sergio Perez
Current Red Bull Formula One racing driver Sergio Perez, remarked considering the race director had to fill Charlie Whiting's shoes, after Whiting passed away, Michael Masi did "a great job".
Alexander Albon
Former Thai-British Formula One driver and current reserve driver for Red Bull Alexander Albon, told the Netherland Motorsport Magazine he understood both sides, but he also believed the result was "deserved Karma".
Bernie Ecclestone
Former race driver, team owner, former co-owner of the Queens Park Rangers and former chief executive of the Formula One Group, Bernie Ecclestone jumped to the defense of Michael Masi, affirming Masi was a good man, who did what he thought was best. He continued, if the race had ended under a safety car, Masi would have got in "just as much trouble".
Eugene Arroca
The CEO of the Motorsport Australia Organisation, Eugene Arroca backed Michael Masi, noting he made a difficult call and showed himself to be a strong leader in his decision-making, in a public, high-pressure sporting event.
Gerhard Berger
Former F1 driver and 10-times race winner Gerhard Berger praised Michael Masi in the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, as having done a good job not only in Abu Dhabi, but the entire year. He emphasized that the race director was "pragmatic" in finding a "solution" that was within the rules.
John Stewart ("Jackie Stewart")
Former Formula One driver Jackie Stewart commented regarding the controversial decisions: "Whatever way it worked out, it happened" and we should just be very proud it’s been a fantastic season, the 3-time world champion told Eurosport.
Mika Häkkinen
Former Formula One driver and 2-time World Champion Mika Häkkinen supported Masi's directive to shorten the safety car procedure for a final lap shoot out, saying it would have been much worse, "an anti-climax", if the World Championship had finished behind a Safety Car, the Finn wrote in his post-race column for Unibet.
He added the Race Director's decision, was based "on his understanding" of the rules, including his responsibility for deciding when the Safety Car returns to the pits. and that his decision was later supported by the four stewards.
Jacques Villeneuve
Former Formula One and IndyCar race driver and 1997 Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, vindicated the race director stating Masi did everything right, and was working under a lot of pressure from two team bosses, especially from Toto Wolff who kept "shouting in Masi`s ear" in the last five laps.
Robert Doornbos
Former Tennis player, Champ Car and Formula One racing driver, and current Ziggo Sport Formula One analyst Robert Doornbos commented he thought Masi did an "amazing job" and that Toto Wolff was "put hard in his place", when Masi told him "this was motor racing".
Romain Grosjean
Former Formula One driver Romain Grosjean claimed the decision was a "bad call for Lewis", but great for TV.
Zak Brown
McLaren CEO and former FIA GT racing driver Zak Brown pled for the race director, saying that he believed Masi was "being made a scapegoat".
Andreas Seidl
McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl, suggested Masi's role should be understood in the context of an intense title battle and appreciated.
Mattia Binotto
Scuderia Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto stood up for Masi, saying his job was the "most difficult job on the planet" at that time.
Ralf Schumacher
Former Formula One driver and Sky F1 analyst, Ralf Schumacher, frowned upon the "confusing" race direction, but disapproved of Mercedes protest, wanting the race to only count 57 out of 58 laps. "Every lap counts", he explained.
Norbert Haug
Former vice president of Mercedes-Benz motorsport and 24 Hours Nürburgring endurance race driver Norbert Haug, gave his opinion to Servus TV, claiming "Masi was ingenious and brilliant in finding a solution." Regarding the protest, he advised his former employer: "Sh!t happens... but there comes a time to show dignity, and keep your mouth shut."
Reactions by the International Press
Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad remarked luck had played throughout the season, and it wasn't Verstappen's fault his win had "become tainted with controversy."
Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant commented that a Formula One race director is under immense pressure to make snap decisions, and therefore expressed sympathy with Masi.
Mark Bremer editor for Netherlands Motorsport.com pointed out Masi took on the role of the "racing gods" making decisions, that made it "difficult for the average viewer to follow". He continued, although Masi was "thrown to the lions" after Charlie Whiting`s passing, he questioned if he was "still tenable", since he was "applying rules inconsistently or ignoring them".
Belgian Dutch newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws headlined: "Controversial season ends in... controversy" and that race control "essentially decided" who became world champion - "nothing more, nothing less".
Belgian Flemish newspaper De Morgen headlined: "What happened during the safety car is a black day for Formula 1", and predicted "we won`t see Michael Masi again next year."
BBC chief Formula One writer Andrew Benson headlined the race report: "'Max Verstappen's win decided by a questionable call'" and further commented what happened in the last lap "was unprecedented, observers - drivers and team members - were baffled. What happened is not the way things are normally dealt with". He continued with: "The world championship had changed hands - as a result of a questionable call from the race director".
The British The Independent newspaper reflected that there was an argument to be made that Masi had "the most difficult job of all in 2021", because Verstappen and Hamilton were two drivers "who push their ability, to the limit of the rules of the sport". And that refereeing "a fight as ferocious as this with decisions made in split-seconds, was a thankless task."
Motorsport Magazine editor Joe Dunn, opined in his editorial, the race directors "almighty cock-up gifted race and title to Max Verstappen" and the racing stewards "artificial intervention" illustrated a deeper and growing problem within Formula One; the desire to have entertaining, nail-biting, last lap race finishes for TV, at the cost of the integrity of the sport. He concluded the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will go down as "a day of infamy in the sport’s history".
Formula One journalist for "The Race" Scott Mitchell commented since Masi's appointment in 2019, drivers and teams have been unhappy with how the FIA had begun to interpret regulations, and the Abu Dhabi situation was the culmination.
Matt Dickinson with The Times suggested FIA should thoroughly review the officiating process. However, he also rejected complaints that race controls decision were made for entertainment. He stated, "rules in sport are contrived — and frequently tweaked to make a sport more entertaining — and we should not pretend there is only one perspective of justice, or that sport is an endless pursuit of fairness." He also pointed out, the protests of injustice were coming from a British point of view; fans in other parts of the world did not believe Masi's calls had been unfair to Hamilton.
German newsweekly DER SPIEGEL called the ending of the race "not normal" and "the race control confusing",
Another German Newspaper Die Welt headlined "The race director caused a split in F1" and "deeply interfered in the title race, with his decisions"
German Automobile Magazine "Auto Motor und Sport" commented on the instruction only to unlap five drivers, Masi made a decision "for the Sport", and "a team sometimes wins, and sometimes loses".
French Auto magazine Autohebdo headlined Michael Masi's decision: "A nasty trick by Masi in Abu Dhabi, condemned Lewis Hamilton and led to his downfall."
Motorsport.com France explained it was "problematic" the way rules were "ignored to set up a certain scenario". "Changing his mind, choosing some lapped cars, and a hasty restart" placed Masi and the FIA in a "tsunami of legitimate criticism".
Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport recounted Masi "tried to avoid tipping the balance", but in doing so "heavily influenced" the season finale.
Jack Austin on American Fox Sports commented Formula One "engineered" a finish to increase viewer excitement.
Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic surmised Masi's race directions were to ensure "Netflix gets another juicy storyline for the next season of Drive to Survive". He also questioned the race director's capability of officiating Formula One races.
Andrew Lawrence of the sports website "The Undefeated" led with: "Lewis Hamilton was robbed". He continued that the race director had "many better options than what he chose", and he instead "stacked the deck for Verstappen".
Rick Allen NASCAR commentator, opined that it was unbelievable how "they changed the rules" at the end of the race."
Chris Medland, editor for the "Racer" website, concluded: "never has a more brilliant season been destroyed so easily."
Premature withdrawal of safety car
Reports indicate race control resumed racing before the track was officially cleared. The message to end the safety car and resume racing appeared at 18:31 pm, while the track was officially declared clear at 18:32 pm.1827 LAPPED CARS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO OVERTAKE

FIA inquiry
In a statement released on 15 December 2021, the FIA announced: "misunderstandings" between teams, drivers, and fans "tarnished the image" of the World Drivers' Championship, and it would investigate the race to determine what went wrong and whether any changes should be made to the safety car procedure. According to the FIA, the review began in January 2022; expected to be completed by February 2022.
Scott Mitchell from the Motorsport Magazine "The RACE" criticised the statement for its suggestion, fans had "misunderstood" the events that occurred at the end of the Grand Prix, for its phrasing and attempt to shift blame.
In an interview released on 17 December 2021, newly elected FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem indicated he was considering making changes in the future to prevent such controversy. However, he said he wanted to get as much information as possible, what happened in Abu Dhabi before making any final decisions.
As of 13 January 2022, the FIA indicated it was contemplating making changes to safety car procedures as well as its internal operational structure within Formula One after consulting with all ten Formula One teams on "various issues," including a discussion of the Abu Dhabi events.
The FIA's Sporting Advisory Committee would discuss the matter of changing the safety car procedure in a meeting scheduled for 19 January 2022. Any changes agreed upon, would then be ratified by the FIA's World Motorsport Council on 18 March 20, before the opening round of the 2022 Formula One World Championship.
The editors of Motorsport Magazine "The RACE" predicted FIA will confirm the decision was technically correct and within the rules, but there will be some regulatory changes as a compromise.
Further developments January and February 2022
The Abu Dhabi controversy was an ongoing topic in Formula One.
Beginning of January, reports started emerging, within the FIA there was initially a sense the issue would go away as time passed, and as the issue continued going on, they might have underestimated the gravity of the situation, and what had occurred in Abu Dhabi.
The BBC reported on 11 January 2022, the Formula One paddock was expecting the FIA to take significant action as a result of the race, including the replacement of Masi as FIA race director.
The BBC furthermore reported FIA president Ben Sulayem was expected to engage in discussions on future governance with the other nine team principals following his private talks with Wolff and FIA Secretary General Peter Bayer, to assess the matter of inconsistent stewards decisions, and driving standards
On 14 January 2022, Sky Sports F1 held an "F1 show special - Abu Dhabi: One month on", in which new, previously unreleased team radio footages were revealed, showing the extent of drivers confusion during the last few laps of the race.
Both Martin Brundle and race commentator David Croft admitted: "mistakes were made". Brundle emphasized a race director "can`t freestyle regulations", because teams are planning race strategies based on written rules. However, he maintained he believed there was no "conspiracy, malice, or fixing the race", as there was no "good evidence".
Damon Hill pointed out the actions of race control allowed some cars to unlap, but not others, and "that in itself was unfair", because what it resulted with, is a focus on the two title protagonists, and "I don't think you can run a motor race or a championship like that. You have to apply the rules equally to all competitors", he added. However Hill also made it clear "manipulated was too strong a word" to describe the ending of the race.
Anthony Davidson explained race control, were unfair to the three cars racing the five cars allowed to unlap. "There are more than just two people in that race", he contended. He clarified Hamilton wasn`t "robbed" of the championship, because Verstappen had bad luck in Baku and Hungary, but Hamilton was "definitely robbed" of the race win in Abu Dhabi.
Ted Kravitz pushed back at the idea Michael Masi had to make a decision within a few seconds. He pointed out there were four minutes between 18:27 PM and 18:31 PM, between the message cars wouldn't be able allowed to overtake, and when the race director changed his mind. He suggested FIA in its investigation would need to investigate what happened within those four minutes, why the race director changed his mind, or if someone else convinced him to change his mind.
Newly released video footage and the role of Jonathan Wheatley
Two months after the race, unearthed radio footage which wasn't broadcast during the worldwide TV broadcast, emerged on social media. In the footage Red Bull`s Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley could be heard suggesting to Masi, allowing lapped cars to unlap, but not rejoin the back of the grid, would enable them to get in a last lap of racing.
Calls to remove the race director
The video raised further questions and renewed calls for Michael Masi to be relieved of his duties as race director, as the video was widely regarded as a team manager, suggesting the outcome of a race to a race director,.
BBC reporting soon suggested, that Masi was expected to take on a new role within the FIA, with sources reporting he may likely become a safety delegate. On 14 February 2022, the FIA announced it would unveil an 'action plan' on structural changes within its organisation following its investigation and a meeting of the F1 Commission.
Later that week, FIA announced DTM - Deutsche Tourenwagon Masters race director Niels Wittich and WEC - World Endurance Championship race director Eduardo Freitas would be new Formula One race directors. Deputy Race Director veteran of 20 years, Herbie Blash, was appointed as "Permanent Senior Advisor" for Wittich and Freitas.
Michael Masi was dropped from his position of Formula One race director.
As the FIA have not overturned the stewards decisions, and because Mercedes withdrew their appeal, the decisions made by the former race director remain in effect.

António Pereira Cândido de Figueiredo, usually referred to as Cândido de Figueiredo (Lobão da Beira, 19 September 1846 — Lisbon, 26 September 1925) was a Portuguese lawyer and civil servant by trade who later became well-known as a writer, lexicographer, grammarian, and philologist specializing in the Portuguese language.
He authored and is best known for the Novo Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa ("New Dictionary of the Portuguese Language"), first published in 1899 and then republished in twenty-five editions through 1996. Figueiredo wrote and translated into Portuguese various works regarding philology and linguistics, as well as works of fiction and social criticism. Perhaps his best known fictional book is Lisboa no ano 3000 ("Lisbon in the year 3000"), a work first published in 1892 (and recently reedited and rereleased) which critiqued Portuguese society and institutions of the era. He was a founding member of the Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa (Lisbon Geographic Society) and a corresponding member of the Academia Brasileira de Letras (Brazilian Academy of Letters).
Biography
Early life
António Pereira Cândido de Figueiredo was born on 19 September 1846 in Lobão da Beira, Tondela, Portugal. He studied theology at the Seminário de Viseu (Viseu Seminary), and was ordained a Catholic priest on 19 June 1867. He then enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Coimbra, studying there between 1869 and 1874. During his studies in Coimbra, Figueiredo was active in the realist and naturalist student-led literary movement known as the .
Figueiredo eventually abandoned the priesthood—a profession apparently forced on him by his family—obtaining a pro gratia dismissal from the clerical state from Pope Leo XIII. He started working as a lawyer. Sometime between 1874 and 1876, Figueiredo and his first wife Mariana Angélica de Andrade married.
Government service
In 1876 he settled in Lisbon, opening a law office there in partnership with fellow University of Coimbra alumnus , who later became a famed jurist. Although Figueiredo spent most of his time practicing law, he also served on official commissions of the Ministério do Reino ("Ministry of the Kingdom"; predecessor to the Ministry of Internal Administration) related to public education, including serving as the inspector of schools of Coimbra District. He was also involved in overseeing public registries, serving first as recorder of deeds in Pinhel, and later Fronteira and Alcácer do Sal. In Alcácer do Sal, he also served as president of the câmara municipal (municipal corporation) for a time.
In 1881 Figueiredo was nominated secretary-general of the Bull of the Crusade—a Portuguese organization administering money donated for indulgences. In 1882 he was made a provisional teacher at the Liceu Central de Lisboa, a public high school now known as the . Some time later he began working as a functionary of the Ministry of Justice, where he would stay for the rest of his professional legal career. Figueiredo ultimately served the Ministry for more than 40 years, reached the rank of assistant director-general, and on multiple occasions served as the Ministry's interim director-general.
In 1887 he was elected a member of the ("High Council for Public Education") as a teacher and proponent of free public education. In 1890 the Ministério do Reino nominated him to a commission in charge of reviewing Portuguese toponymy.
In 1893 Cândido de Figueiredo was appointed civil governor of Vila Real District by then Prime Minister of Portugal José Dias Ferreira. He was later a private secretary to Bernardino Machado—a future President of Portugal—when Machado was Minister of Public Works, Commerce and Industry.
Career as a writer
Outside of his professional activities, Cândido de Figueiredo became a well-known writer and poet. His worked was published in various Portuguese periodicals of his time, including , Aljubarrota, Lusitano, Progresso, Bem Público, Voz Feminina, Revista dos Monumentos Sepulcrais, Almanaque de Lembranças, Notícias (which would later become Diário Popular), Grinalda, Crisálida, País, Hinos e Flores, Repositório Literário, Tribuno Popular, Independência, Recreio Literário, Folha, Panorama Fotográfico, Viriato, Gazeta Setubalense, Democracia (published in Elvas), and various others. He founded the periodical A Capital and edited the newspaper Globo. He also contributed stories and collaborated with various magazines, including Revista de Portugal e Brasil, Ocidente, República das Letras (1875), Ribaltas e Gambiarras (1881), A Arte Musical (1898-1915), O Branco e Negro (1899), Serões (1901-1911), Atlântida (1915-1920), and even in the humorous publication A Paródia (1900-1907) under the pseudonym "O Caturra". For many years he also wrote fictional serials for the Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias under the pseudonym "Cedef".
As a lexicographer and philologist, Figueiredo served on a 1911 commission which set what was at the time the standard orthography of the Portuguese language. Other well-known Portuguese lexicographers and philologists who served alongside him on that commission included Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos, Aniceto dos Reis Gonçalves Viana, José Leite de Vasconcelos, Francisco Adolfo Coelho, , António José Gonçalves Guimarães, Júlio Moreira, , and António Garcia Ribeiro de Vasconcelos.
Cândido de Figueiredo died on 26 September 1925 in Lisbon.
Awards and honors
Figueiredo was a member or associate of various honorary academies. In 1871 he was made a member of the (Coimbra Institute). In 1874 he was elected a corresponding member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, and made a full member in 1915. When Figueiredo died, he was president of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. In 1876—along with Luciano Cordeiro—Figueiredo founded the Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa (Lisbon Geographic Society). He was also a corresponding member of the Academia Brasileira de Letras (Brazilian Academy of Letters). In 1902 he was elected to the Royal Spanish Academy.

George E. Green is an American cardiac surgeon best known for pioneering and implementing the first surgical procedure of the left coronary artery bypass graft using the internal thoracic artery sutured to the left anterior descending coronary artery to bypass obstruction to the heart circulation in the late 1960's. He applied these techniques in 1968 at New York University Medical Center and in 1970 he was hired to establish St. Luke's Hospital's (now Mount Sinai Morningside) cardiac surgery program in Manhattan, New York, that by 1982 was seeing approximately 1,800 cases a year, the biggest program in the state. Green has lectured internationally on the topic and has written numerous reports on internal thoracic artery graftingas well as co-authoring, Surgical Revascularization of the Heart: The Internal Thoracic Arteries.
Early life
George E. Green was born (January 18, 1932) and raised in Brooklyn, New York where he attended grade school and high school. He attended Yale College and graduated from Yale Medical School then returned to New York to intern at Bellevue Hospital and complete a residency at Saint Vincent’s Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital. In 1962 -1964 he served as a surgeon, U.S.N.R active duty at U.S. Naval Hospital, in Camp Pendleton, CA and also completed a residency in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery from 1966 - 1968 at New York University Medical Center.
Career
Green was the first cardiac surgeon to successfully perform a left coronary artery bypass graft using the internal thoracic artery sutured to the left anterior descending coronary artery to bypass obstruction to the heart circulation in the 1968 . At the time, many experts believed that the internal mammary artery was too small for splicing into the coronary arteries. The bypass called for 20 stitches to be taken to attach the vessel. . "Many years ago George Green stood alone in support of the internal mammary artery as a superior conduit," Dr. John L. Ochsner of the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans had written. "In the years since, many of us have joined his ranks.
Green began working with micro-surgery techniques while working as an assistant with Max Som at Beth Israel Medical Hospital Center. Som was looking for a better solution to the reconstruction of the esophagus post cancer treatment In order to improve on the technique, Green introduced himself to Julius H. Jacobson, who had newly arrived at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, and was the first American to publish about using a surgical microscope to anastomose the smallest blood bessesls. Green was given access to Jacobson's lab and to practice the same procedure.
In an excerpt from Green's, "After 50 years, a personal reflection on the development of internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafting", he reported that,"Although the procedure had been prohibited at the New York University Hospital, David Tice, Director of Surgery at the affiliated New York Veterans Administration Hospital, invited me to do it there. I did the first internal thoracic artery (ITA)-left anterior descending (LAD) artery anastomosis in the United States there in February of 1968 "Demand Increases for Artery Bypass Surgery" The Boston Globe, page 115 December 10, 1972.
In 1968 Green was a spokesman for the research team at the New York University of Medicine at the annual Clinical Congress of American College of Surgeons sharing the outcomes of 12 patients in which he had performed the surgery "Some Other Kinds of Heart Surgery" The Press Democrat Santa Rosa, page 4 April 20, 1969 . In 1971 he documented his research and work on coronary artery bypass grafts for congestive heart failure; a report of experiences with 40 patients in the, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (supported in part by a grant from the National Heart and Lung Institutes of the National Institutes of Health), which was read at the 51st Annual Meeting of The American Association for Thoracic Surgery, in Atlanta, Georgia in April of 1971.In 1972, at the "Coronary Artery Surgery Clifton Symposium Topic", Williams Glenn, chief of surgery at Yale Medical school, spoke against operating on the heart's arteries while Green gave arguments for it. In 1973 he spoke on the topic at the scientific sessions at American Heart Association, Pennsylvania Affiliate. Green served as President of the International Symposium Internal Thoracic Artery for Myocardial Revascularization'' in the early 1990's and has lectured in France, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Greece, England, and Argentina, among others.
Personal Life
Green is married to children's book author, Sheila Greenwald. They have two sons.

Confractosuchus is a genus of extinct eusuchian crocodyliform from the Cretaceous Winton Formation of Australia. Described as a macro-generalist, Confractosuchus was found with the bones of a juvenile ornithopod dinosaur in its abdomen. It currently contains a single species, Confractosuchus sauroktonos, which literally means "broken dinosaur killer."
The discovery of Confractosuchus was announced by the Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum on 11 February 2022, and was published in the journal Gondwana Research. It is the second extinct eusuchian crocodyliform genus discovered from the Winton Formation, after Isisfordia that was discovered during the mid-1990s and named in 2006.Discovery and namingConfractosuchus was found in the upper layers of the Winton Formation in central-western Queensland. It was discovered in 2010 during the excavation of poorly preserved sauropod material within a concretion that formed between black soil and volcanogenic clay. The fossil is largely articulated, but missing most material from the pelvis to the tail. Osteoderms were preserved in association.
In addition to the Eusuchian bones, the specimen also preserved the partially digested bones of a juvenile ornithopod the animal fed on shortly prior to its death. Initial CT scans of the abdominal cavity were unsuccessful as the dense matrix was opaque to laboratory and medical X-rays. Subsequent neutron tomography using the "Dingo" neutron imaging instrument at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation serendipitously revealed the entirely embedded ornithopod. The bones indicate that the dinosaur was a juvenile and that its body could have weighed about 1.7 kg, and about the size of a chicken. Since the digestive secretions in the stomach of crocodiles are strong, the preserved dinosaur means that it was eaten shortly before the crocodyliform's death. The dinosaur is also likely an unknown (new) species.
The name Confractosuchus derives from the Latin confractus meaning "broken" and the Greek suchus for "crocodile." The species name is composed of the Greek sauros (meaning "lizard") and ktonos (meaning "killer"), chosen to reflect the preserved gut contents of the animal.
Description
Most of the remains of Confractosuchus are badly crushed. Much of the posterior parts including the hind limbs and tail are missing. Reconstruction based on available bones indicate that the entire body of Confractosuchus was around 2.5 meters long. The skull contains about 35% of the total bones. It measures 28.5 cm long and 19 cm wide and triangular in shape, differing noticeably from the broad and flattened skulls of the susisuchids it shared its environment with. The external nares are wider than they are long and the nasal bone overhangs the rear edge of the nares. There is a small constriction behind the nares where the 4th dentary tooth is received by the upper jaw. Two pairs of ridges extend over the cranium from the approximate location of the 4th dentary to just before the orbits. These ridges, originating from the lacrimal and prefrontal bone respectively, are similar to those seen in extant alligatoroids. They are almost parallel and converge towards the tip of the snout. Other ornamentation of the skull is present in the form of grooves and pits visible on the back of the skull, while the rostrum, aside from the aforementioned ridges, does not seem to preserve notable ornamentation. However, this may be due to preservation. The jugal is arched below the orbits, but flattened at its border with the intertemporal fenestra, mimicking the condition seen in susisuchids. The mandibles were preserved tightly shut with the upper jaw and only show ornamentation on its rear end. The upper jaw preserves 16 teeth on each side (4 premaxillary and 12 maxillary) and 17 dentary teeth.
The vertebral column is incompletely preserved. The centra and neural arches of the thoratic vertebrae are fused, however those of the cervical vertebrae aren't, suggesting the animal was a sub-adult at the time of its death. The morphology of Confractosuchus vertebrae varies, some showing a procoelous and others showing a amphicoelous condition. This morphology varies between susisuchids, with Susisuchus possessing exclusively amphicoelous vertebrae while Isisfordia shows beginning procoelous vertebrae. As both susisuchids and Confractosuchus are nested close to the base of Eusuchia, Confractosuchus may represent a transitional form.
None of the osteoderms of Confractosuchus were found in articulation. They are ovoid in shape and deeply pitted, with a central keel running down their surface. The lack of twin-keeled (biserial) osteoderms suggests that the paravertebral armor of the animal was entirely segmented. This adaptation greatly increases the flexibility of the animal in water when compared to the more tightly interlocking armor of goniopholids and pholidosaurids that increased stability when highwalking.
Phylogeny
Phylogenetic analysis recovered Confractosuchus as a basal Eusuchian nested outside a clade formed by susisuchids and hylaeochampsids.
PaleoecologyConfractosuchus is a rare example of a fossil crocodyliform with preserved stomach content, and is the first evidence of a crocodyliform eating a dinosaur. Its prey, a juvenile ornithopod, is represented by multiple vertebrae and limb bones most likely belonging to a single individual. The vertebrae are partly articulated, party associated, suggesting the animal was not fully digested by the time the crocodyliform died. Analysis of the skull morphology suggests that Confractosuchus was a macro-generalist, meaning it would have been capable of taking prey larger than itself. It was likely an opportunistic feeder rather than a dinosaur specialist. The preservation of its prey indicates that the holotype of Confractosuchus died shortly after ingesting its last meal and it is not possible to determine whether or not the gut of Confractosuchus'' was more or less acidic than that of modern crocodiles. However, the condition the ornithopod vertebrae were found in suggests that it was dismembered in a similar fashion that modern crocodilians do.

Santa Cita, reconsecrated in 1952 as San Mamiliano, is a baroque-style, Roman Catholic parish church located on Via Squarcialupo #1 in the quarter of Castellammare of the city of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. The church and its artworks suffered heavily during the bombardment during World War 2, but it still contains original works and is attached to the Oratory of the Rosary of Santa Cita and less than a block north of the church of Santa Maria di Valverde.
History
A church at the site, dedicated to the saint Zita of Lucca, was founded by Tuscan merchants in the early 14th-century and then attached to the Dominican order. In 1583, a new larger church was erected sing designs by Giuseppe Giacalone, and completed in 1603. The facade was not completed until 1781 by Nicolò Peralta.
Initially the church had three side chapels and decorated aisles, but the destruction of the bombing in 1943 caused the reconstruction of the church with a single nave. The church was rededicated to San Mamiliano, first bishop of Palermo.
Art and architecture
Above the portal is a peculiar statue of a dog at the feet of a globe. Putatively in his mouth he carried a flaming torch. This image reflects a legend about a vision St Dominic's mother had before he was birth, and later interpretations that Dominicans were dogged in their efforts to spread the flames of faith, and eradicate heresy. The two flanking reliefs in the facade depict allegories of Charity and Faith.
In the second chapel to the right is a Renaissance-style marble polyptich (1516) and arch by Antonello Gagini. He also sculpted the sarcophagus of Antonio Scirotta in a chapel on the left. The Chapel of the Crucifix, purchased in 1614 by the aristocratic Lanza family. The crypt below this chapel held four sarcophagi and a Pietà attributed to Giorgio da Milano. One of the sarcophagi holds Cesare Lanza, while another is said to hold Laura Lanza, Baroness of Carini, his first wife who he murdered in 1563, putatively in a crime of passion.
Among the altarpieces in the church is a depiction of the Blessed Geremia (1785) by Antonio Manno in the left transept, and a depiction of Santa Agnes of Montepulciano (1603) by Filippo Paladini. The first chapel on the right transept, dedicated to the Madonna del Rosario, survived the bombardment. It is richly decorated with polychrome marble and small tableux made with stucco (1697-1721) by Gioacchino Vitagliano. These teatrini or dramatic set-pieces depict the scenes of the Mystery of the Rosary. The ceiling is frescoes framed with elaborate stucco with the five glorious mysteries of the Rosary, by Pietro Aquila. These tableux can be compared to the ones made by Serpotta for the adjacent oratory.

Frank Wright Trio is the debut album by saxophonist Frank Wright. It was recorded in November 1965 in New York City, released by ESP-Disk in 1966, and reissued on CD in 1992. On the album, Wright is joined by bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Tom Price. The tracks were also reissued in 2005 on the Frank Wright compilation Complete ESP-Disk Recordings.
ESP-Disk founder Bernard Stollman recalled the origins of the album: "John Coltrane was playing with his quartet at the Village Gate during the Christmas holiday. I was greatly impressed by the playing of a guest artist, a saxophonist. When the set ended, I approached and complimented him on his playing. I asked who he was. He said, 'I'm Frank Wright, from Cleveland.' 'Do you have a record label?' 'Oh no, I'm not on any record label.' I said, 'Well, you are now.' He'd been pressing pants in a dry cleaning shop in Cleveland before he came to New York. Shortly afterwards, he formed a group and went into the studio."
Reception
In a review of the CD reissue for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "All of tenor saxophonist Frank Wright's recordings can be considered a bit of a blowout. For his debut as a leader, Wright... rips into three of his originals: 'The Earth,' 'The Moon' and 'Jerry.' Due to the brevity of this CD reissue..., his follow-up ESP date Your Prayer gets the edge, but both are easily recommended to open-eared listeners who enjoy hearing fiery sound explorations."
In an article for All About Jazz, Clifford Allen commented: "Wright... was one of the forerunners of the multiphonics-driven school of saxophonists to follow the direction pointed by Ayler, but with a more pronounced bar-walking influence than most of his contemporaries. Whereas Ayler's high-pitched wails, wide vibrato and guttural honks all belied an R&B pedigree, his solos still contained the breakneck tempos and facility of bebop... Wright, on the other hand, offers his honks and squawks with a phraseology derived from the slower, earthier funk of R&B and gospel music... The opening 'The Earth' starts with a brief vibrato-heavy and bluesy slow theme on unaccompanied tenor that quickly erupts into a frantic screamer of a solo, a mix of buzzing upper-register cries and low bleating honks, occasional recognizable stock R&B phrases making their way into the melange... Unlike Ayler, there is not a significant amount of solo construction, for it appears Wright was throwing together ideas in a spirit of jubilation. The rhythm section is certainly strong and experienced, and are given ample duet room after Wright's solo ends."

Eduardo Gordon Cañas (1918 − 8 November 2001) was a Chilean police officer and football leader who served as president of the Chilean Football Association, then called Asociación Central del Fútbol (ACF).
Biography
During his period as president of the ACF, it was created many clubs in bordering zones of Chile for geopolitical reasons, with the goal to generate a sense of belonging, especially in front of Peru and Bolivia. On that way, it was established Cobreloa (1978), Deportes Iquique (1979) or Cobresal (1979).

Ethel Evangeline Martin Bolden (December 14, 1918 - October 20, 2002) was an African-American librarian, educator, historian, and community leader.
Bolden educated generations of residents in Columbia, South Carolina. Bolden established libraries in Colubmia's Black elementary schools and emphasized collecting books about Black history. She wrote, "It is now an established fact that the lack of a knowledge of the history of black Americans does harm not only to blacks but to whites as well. A lack of black history leaves the white student only half educated in American history, and only half prepared for the American future." Her dedication continued when she integrated Dreher High School as its head librarian in 1968.
Early life and education
Ethel Evangeline Martin was born December 14, 1918 in Charleston, South Carolina to Ethel Sinkler and Thomas John Martin. Her father moved to Chicago, Illinois during the Great Migration in the early 1920's, but was severely injured in a streetcar accident. Her mother moved the rest of the family to Columbia, South Carolina where she was hired as the Superintendent of the Fairwold Industrial School for Delinquent Negro Girls, an organization founded in part by Celia Dial Saxon.
Martin spent time between her mother's house in Columbia and Peak, South Carolina where her paternal grandmother ran a missionary school. Her mother died in 1927, followed by her grandmother in 1929. Martin and her younger brother then lived with various relatives.
Martin attended Booker T. Washington High School from 1932 to 1936. She also attended Barber–Scotia College, where she worked as a library assistant. She received her Bachelor's of Science from Johnson C. Smith University.
Bolden completed her Master of Science degree in library science from Atlanta University in 1959, after writing her master's thesis on Susan Dart Butler.
Career
She worked at Waverly Elementary school as an "intern teacher" for one year before she married Charles F. Bolden in 1941, and had to leave because married women could not be teachers.
In 1944, she became Waverly's first teacher-librarian, where she taught students part-time and established the first Black elementary school library in the city. She continued to supervise the establishment of libraries in most of the city's other Black elementary schools. She became the first librarian at W.A. Perry Middle School.
In 1968 she became the head librarian at Dreher High School. Her belief in free education for all students led her to open up the library's collection. She and guidance counselor Francena Robinson were the first two African Americans to integrate the faculty.
Bolden served on the staff of an institute held by Allen University, "Institute for Elementary Librarians" in 1969, where she gave a lecture titled "Evaluation, Selection and Acquisition of Materials for the Elementary School Library." She was a member of the Greater Columbia Community Relations Council, a multiracial taskforce founded by Mayor Lester Bates. She also served on the South Carolina Council on Human Relations and on the Board of Directors of its successor, the Greater Columbia Community Relations Council.
Bolden was an active member in professional organizations like the South Carolina Library Association and South Carolina Education Association. She was a dedicated researcher into Black experiences in South Carolina, and collected thousands of papers and other material, which she dedicated to local libraries. The Ethel Evangeline Martin Bolden papers collection at South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina includes fifteen linear feet of manuscripts and material that provide insight into Bolden's life and work.
Bolden retired from Dreher in 1982, but continued to work in the local library community. She was the secretary of the Richland County Public Library Board of Trustees, and oversaw major projects such as construction of the Northeast branch, relocation of Eastover and Wheatley branches, and fundraising for the main branch.
Honors and Recognition
She was a lifetime member of the NAACP, and a lifetime member of Gamma Nu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She was awarded the Order of the Silver Crescent for Volunteer and Community Service, the Order of the Palmetto, and was inducted into the South Carolina Black Hall of Fame. She was recognized by organizations such as Christian Action Council and the Board of Directors of the Columbia Young Women’s Christian Association.
Family and personal life
Martin married Charles F. Bolden in 1941.
They had two children, Charles F. Bolden, Jr., and Warren M. Bolden. Her older son, Major Charles F. Bolden, Jr. is a former Administrator of NASA, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General, and a former astronaut who flew on four Space Shuttle missions.
Bolden joined the Ladson Presbyterian Church, Columbia’s oldest African-American church. Later, she was a founding member of Northminster Presbyterian Church.
Death and Legacy
Bolden died on October 20, 2002.
The Richland Library Friends and Foundation offers the Ethel Bolden Minority Fellowship award to encourage and provide financial support to students from underserved or underrepresented ethnic and racial groups.

Unmatched is a tabletop game published by Restoration Games and Mondo Tees in which two to four players use a combination of miniatures and cards to compete in a skirmish-style battle. Playable characters are drawn from mythology and pop-culture, with fighters ranging from Robin Hood to Bigfoot, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sherlock Holmes, and others. The game was originally released in 2019.
Development
Unmatched was developed as a collaboration between Restoration Games, known for updating and redesigning old and out of print board games, and Mondo Tees, known for movie posters, t-shirts, and other collectibles. The game is based on the out of print games Star Wars Epic Duels, from Milton Bradley, and Tannhäuser, from Fantasy Flight Games. Each character features a miniature along with a unique deck of original art for that character. The game was initially available for sale at Gen Con in August 2019, where the entire early run sold out. The first three Unmatched sets were released to retail stores in September 2019.
Gameplay
Before the game starts, players each choose a fight and select a battle map for the match. Players are free to mix fighters and maps from different sets. During a game of unmatched, players take turns using a combination of cards and actions to move their fighters around the map, attack opponents and perform other actions. Players win by reducing every opposing fighter to zero health. The game can be played one-on-one, two-on-two, or as a free-for-all. Most fighters also have one or more sidekicks, represented by plastic tokens, which are able to move around the board, attack, and defend. Each map is divided up into color-coded zones, which are used to determine whether a ranged attacker has line of sight to an enemy, and also when resolving some card effects. Combat is resolved by declaring an attack against a fighter that is either adjacent to your character, or within line of sight for ranged attackers. The attacker chooses an attack card and plays it face down. If the defender player chooses to defend, and has a defense card available, they may play it facedown. Attack and defense cards are then revealed. If the attack value is higher than the defense value, the target of the attack takes the difference in damage.

The Havre de Grace Colored School Museum and Cultural Center is located at 555 Alliance Street, Havre de Grace, Maryland, in the buildings of the former Havre de Grace Colored High School. The buildings have been partially restored and in 2022 donations were being sought to complete the work.
The Havre de Grace Colored School opened in 1912 in a one-room frame building. It was built with $1500 raised by the Black community (), plus $200 from the city of Havre de Grace (). It was, during the Jim Crow period, one of more than 14 grammar schools for African-American children in Harford County. There was no high school for them in the county; Black parents of means sent their children to Baltimore or Philadelphia for high school.
In 1930, a coalition of African-American parents, teachers, civic leaders, and white state lawmakers established Havre de Grace Colored High School, the county's first secondary school for Black children. With the addition in 1936 of a nondescript, one-story brick annex to the one-room schoolhouse, the new high school quickly became a source of pride for the Black community, seen as the best tool for their children's advancement. Although African-American children had a new school, they still had to rely on outdated and second-hand books and equipment handed down by schools attended by white children. The school had no sports facility. At the beginning there was no school bus, and students were responsible for their own transportation.
The poet Langston Hughes spoke at the school several times; he passed through Havre de Grace frequently while studying at nearby Lincoln University (Pennsylvania). He was a close friend and fraternity brother of the school's principal, Leon Roye.
In 1953 the school closed, and all Colored Schools in Havre de Grace, both elementary and high, combined to form the Havre de Grace Consolidated School, at a new location. In 1965, Harford County schools were intelgrated and the segregated Black schools closed.
The buildings were used as a physician's office. After his death in 2015, the buildings were transferred to the non-profit Museum project. With help from the architecture department at Morgan State University, and donations of photos, diplomas, books, documents, and other artifacts from. alumni, the Havre de Grace Colored School Foundation opened to the public in the spring of 2019.

NNS Obuma, formerly NNS Nigeria, was a Nigerian frigate which served as the flagship of the Nigerian Navy in from 1965 to 1982. It is presently a hulk stationed at the Nigerian Navy College of Engineering.
Background and construction
The Nigerian government ordered the frigate Nigeria as a purpose-built flagship from Wilton-Fijenoord in the Netherlands at a cost of . This was part of an expansion practice which sought to use new ships to balance out the Nigerian Navy's older acquisitions and give the force seagoing capabilities. The Dutch Ministry of Defence loaned the Nigerian Navy another ship, NNS Ogoja, pending the completion of the Nigeria, until it eventually decided to gift the Ogoja to the navy in October 1965.
Nigeria was laid down on 9 April 1964 and launched on 12 April 1965. It began performing sea trials with an all-Nigerian crew later that year. It was designed for a compliment of 216 crew.
Service
The NNS Nigeria formally entered service on 16 September 1966 with pennant number F87. Following the outbreak of the Nigerian Civil War in 1967, the Nigerian Navy was tasked with blockading the coast of the secessionist Republic of Biafra. Nigeria was moored in an estuary near Port Harcourt early on in the conflict. In July 1967, Biafran leader C. Odumegwu Ojukwu ordered mercenary Jan Zumbach of the Biafran Air Force to attack the ship to prevent it from cutting off the port to the sea. Zumbach flew a Douglas A-26 Invader with a Douglas DC-3 providing support in an early morning raid. Zumabch dropped his payload and strafed the ship while the DC-3 dropped two small bombs. The first bomb landed off the stern while the second exploded to the ship's port, splashing water over the decks and causing the crew to run for cover. The two aircraft rearmed in Enugu and made a second attack. The bombs missed again, but as a result the Nigeria raised its anchor and moved out into the ocean.
Several weeks after the air raids the ship moved to the mouth of the Bonny River, where it ensured Port Harcourt was cut off from the sea. Too large to operate in Nigeria's rivers, Nigeria served as a guide for smaller ships making their way to the fairway buoy at the mouth of the Bonny, and most naval operations during the war were instead led by the Ogoja. Under the command of Captain Nelson Bossman Soroh, the larger frigate lent its support to bombardment operations at Port Harcourt, Bonny, Calabar, Warri, and other areas.
Nigeria was refitted by Cammell Laird from 1970 to 1971, and again by Wilton-Fijenoord in 1977. The ship was renamed Obuma in 1981, meaning "thunder" in the Igbo language. It was replaced as the fleet flagship by NNS Aradu in 1982. In 1983 it was due to be modernized and have its 102 mm gun mount replaced with an OTO Melara 76 mm, but this was delayed indefinitely. It participated in joint exercises with visiting Brazilian vessels in 1986. By the late 1980s, the ship was reduced to a dockside training hulk, and its helicopter pad was primarily used for ceremonies. By 2020 the hulk served as part of the training facilities at the Nigerian Navy College of Engineering in Sapele.

Alberto Cavaciocchi (31 January 1862 - 3 May 1925) was an Italian General and military historian.
Life and career
Born in Turin, after attending the Military College of Florence Cavaciocchi graduated from the Military Academy of Turin as a second lieutenant of artillery. He later enrolled at the Turin War School, being promoted to the rank of captain in 1888. Promoted to colonel, he led the 60th Infantry Regiment during the Italo-Turkish War, and was decorated with the Cross of Officer of the Military Order of Savoy and the Silver Medal of Military Valor.
During the World War I, after some brilliant operations, he was involved in the disastrous defeat of Caporetto, when the 4th army corps he commanded rapidly collapsed. In 1919 the Ministerial Commission of Enquiry established by Francesco Saverio Nitti considered him as one of the most responsible of the defeats and forced him to retire.
Beyond his military activity, Cavaciocchi is known as a researcher and an author of books and journal articles about Italian and European military history. Among his most important works, the reference book Le istituzioni militari del Regno d'Italia ("The military institutions of the Kingdom of Italy", 1906). Between 1906 and 1910 he was chief of the Italian Army History Office, and during this time he oversaw the publication of the official reports of the Risorgimento campaigns and the creation of the journal Memorie storiche militari ("Military Historical Memoirs").

Ippolito "Lee" Gonzalez (July 26, 1954 – May 6, 1995) was an American Police Sergeant who was fatally shot multiple times during a routine traffic stop in Camden, New Jersey on May 6, 1995. Two Warlocks Motorcycle Club members, Robert Simon (1950 – September 7, 1999) and Charles Staples (born September 18, 1957), were tried and convicted for Gonzalez's murder, the former being sentenced to death and later murdered while on death row.
Victim
Ippolito Gonzalez was born on July 26, 1954, in Landisville, New Jersey, one of six children who grew up on a migrant farm. He graduated from Vineland High School in Vineland, New Jersey, and later from the Camden County Police Academy in 1975. During his law enforcement career, Gonzalez received numerous awards. At the time of his death, Gonzalez was 40-years-old.
Murder
On the night of May 6, 1995, at around 10:25pm, Gonzalez was nearly at the end of his shift, when he pulled over a suspicious looking vehicle. The vehicle was occupied by Robert Simon, nicknamed "Mudman", and Charles Staples, nicknamed "Shovel", two Warlocks Motorcycle Club members who had committed a burglary minutes before. Upon pulling over the two, Simon drew his gun and shot Gonzalez in the neck, knocking him down, and Simon shot once again at Gonzalez's head, killing him. At the same time Gonzalez had radioed in for backup before the incident. The resulting police chase that followed ended with Staples losing control of the vehicle and crashing and attempting to run on foot. An officer fired three shots at both, striking Simon in the leg, resulting in him surrendering to police. Staples was arrested not long after.
Trial
At Gonzalez's subsequent funeral, more than 1,000 people showed up to mourn the fallen officer. Simon and Staples were indicted on charges of burglary, multiple firearm offenses, and later both were charged with Felony Murder due to the prosecution not knowing who pulled the trigger. During the trial, the prosecution brought up Simon's prior criminal record; He had been convicted of killing 19-year-old Beth Duzenbergin in Pennsylvania in 1974, after she allegedly refused to have sex with fellow Warlock members. While in prison, he also stabbed fellow inmate Jose Gonzalez (No relation), but details of that are vivid. He was paroled in 1994, after which he began a friendship with Charles Staples, the vice president for the South Jersey Warlocks. During this time, Simon was unable to get a job, and the two frequently struggled to maintain a financial living.
At the end of their trial, Simon and Staples were found guilty of Felony Murder. At the same time, the court accepted a guilty plea Simon took; Staples was sentenced to 30-years to life in prison, while Simon was ultimately was sentenced to death. After his sentence, Simon came forward and claimed that his plea hearing failed to establish that he was the shooter.
Aftermath
Simon was held on New Jersey's death row until, on September 7, 1999, when he was stomped to death by fellow death row inmate Ambrose Harris. Harris had been sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1992 murder of Kristin Huggins, a 22-year-old art student who was visiting from Pennsylvania. Harris was brought to trial for Simon's murder, but his defense was able to convince the jury that the killing was in self-defense, and he was acquitted in 2001. Harris’ original death sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment after New Jersey abolished the death penalty in 2007. He died in prison in 2020.
, Staples is still serving his sentence at South Woods State Prison. His latest parole eligibility date is set for May 5, 2025. He maintains that he did not know Simon was going to shoot and kill Gonzalez, and in a recent interview described himself as mainly just a witness, not an accomplice.

The Ja Lidong rebellion was a Cham anti-Vietnamese rebellion led by a Cham leader named Ja Lidong in 1822–23. Ja Lidong was either a Cham or a highlander, and his multi-ethnic revolt consisted of both Cham and highlanders of Churu, Raglai, Koho backgrounds.
From 1799 onward, the Vietnamese Nguyen court effectively turned Panduranga, the last Cham (Champa) polity, into a Vietnamese semisatrapy, with nominal rulers appointed by Gia Long and his son Minh Mang. The recent ruling ruler of Panduranga, Po Saong Nyung Ceng, passed away in June 1822 while his grand vizier Po Klan Thu was in Huế with the court of Minh Mang, was waiting for an desired investiture.
In August 1822, Ja Lidong from Malathit (southwest of Phan Thiết) led a Cham uprising against Minh Mang's harsh mandatory levies and were advancing toward Bình Thuận, posing a threat to densely populated areas of Bình Thuận where the (Vietnamese) Kinh were majority residents. Furious with news of the rebellion, Po Klan Thu requested Minh Mang for help, and Minh Mang immediately approved. Po Klan Thu was enthroned shortly after as ruler of Champa but a "commissioner of Champa" from the eyes of the Vietnamese, still he wasn't able to restrain popular discontent among the Chams. After receiving investiture, Po Klan Thu returned to Panduranga's capital Phan Rí, while Ja Lidong's forces had captured many regions and blown up a strategic fort in Thị Linh.
In February 1823, the Cham royal court assembled an army, assisted by Kinh militia under the command of Thái Văn Thuận. From Long Hương, Phan Rí and Phú Hài, they began hunting down the rebels of Ja Lidong, engaged and defeated them. The army of Ja Lidong however did not disintegrate but retreated westward to the Mekong Delta, which was under the governance of the Viceroyty of Saigon. The current viceroy of Saigon, Lê Văn Duyệt, sent envoy Nguyễn Văn Châu to meet Ja Lidong and made a compromise. After the deal has been facilitated, Ja Lidong agreed to surrender his arms and army peacefully to Lê Văn Duyệt.

Geophilus truncorum is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found across Western Europe, though it reaches as far as Poland, Italy, and Morocco. It's relatively small, growing up to 20mm in length, with a yellow or orangeish brown body and dark yellow or brown head, as well as 37-39 leg pairs, denser and shorter hair than most Geophilus species, a main plate almost as elongated as in G. flavus (115:100), and distinct carpophagus fossae on the anterior sternites. It's superficially similar to Schendyla nemorensis, though unlike G. truncorum, this species lacks carpophagus fossae and claws on its last legs.
Habitat
G. truncorum is most often found beneath bark, leaf litter, and in dead and decaying wood, particularly in pine Pinus woodland, and oak Quercus woodland, though there seems to be no strong preference for woodland types. It's also found at coastal sites and moorland, where it is associated with bracken. It has only a slight bias toward inland habitats (51.4% inland vs. 48.6% coastal). Although most records are from ruraI sites, it can be also be found in more populated areas, though rarely inside buildings. G. truncorum lives in altitudes up to 2000ft and shows a marked tendency to appear within 3m above ground. Its preferred soil types are sandy/pure sand (about 29.9% of specimens found in sandy soil), clays (28.5%), peat (23.9%), and loam (17.9%); 33.8% are found in calcareous (calcium-carbonate rich) soil, 66.2% in non—calcareous soil.

The station was opened on 1 December 1866 by the Caledonian Railway. It initially only had one platform. The goods yard was to the south. It had a signal box, which opened in 1893, closed in 1905 when the station was resited. The resited station had 4 platforms, new station buildings and a stone-built goods shed. The goods yard closed in 1964. The station closed on 4 October 1965. Only the north side of the island platform remains.

Magnipterygius is an extinct genus of primitive ichthyosaur found in the Early Jurassic (Lower Toarcian) Posidonia Shale of Dotternhausen, Germany. The holotype specimen is SMNS96922, a nearly complete articulated skeleton. This genus is well known as a small-sized Ichthyosaur, of around 120 cm length, making it the second genus of that size after the Triassic. Due to the similarities with the genus Stenopterygius it has been classified as a member of the family Stenopterygiidae.
Discovery and Naming
The holotype specimen was uncovered in 2011 in the quarry of Holcim, Dotternhausen, with the consent of the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart. It was recovered all except the tail, left in a block in situ. The preparation was done with air abrasive, using chemically clean iron power at low pressure. During the examination the specimen was found to represent a completely new genus of Ichthyosaur, and was named Magnipterygius huenei, with the genus name being a reference to the Warcraft videogame franchise, specifically to the dwarven king Magni Bronzebeard, while the species honors Friedrich Freiherr von Huene and his dedication to the study of the Posidonia Shale fauna.

Bortz, also Boricius (), was a Cuman chieftain in the 13th century. He voluntarily converted to Christianity in 1227, acknowledging the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Hungary. Within a year, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cumania was established in Bortz's land along the river Siret in present-day Romania.
Name
His name appears in various forms in contemporary records. A papal letter from 1227 refers to him as Bortz, in addition to certain documents of the Dominican Order, while the chronicle of Emo of Friesland calls him Boricius. It is widely regarded that he is identical with that Begovars, who led the Cumans that helped Duke Béla with his attack on the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia in 1229, according to the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle. The Commentariolum de provinciae Hungariae originibus (1259) and subsequent narratives of the Dominicans in Hungary distinguishes two baptized Cuman chiefs from that time: the first prince is called as Brut, Bruch or Bauch, while the name of the second chieftain is recorded as Bembroch, Bernborch, Breroth, Bibrech or Membrok. According to Hungarian historian György Györffy, the second leader (Membrok) was the son of Bortz. Romanian historian Ioan Ferenț considered Bortz and Membrok were the same person.
The name Bortz is can be identified with the Turkic word "bars", which means "panther" or "leopard", or "burč", which was used in the meaning of "pepper", or "borč" (but least probably), an equivalent to "debt". According to Szilvia Kovács, this correlation is supported by the Old East Slavic version of his name (Begovars), as the first element of the name can be connected with Turkic "bey" of "beg".
Life
It is plausible his tribe – Burčoğli (, ) – lived in the territory between the rivers Dnieper and Oril in present-day Ukraine. According to the chronicle of Emo of Friesland, Bortz (Boricius) was "fourth in rank among the major Cuman leaders". According to Kovács, following the Battle of the Kalka River (1223), the hierarchy within the Cuman people was the following: Bastyj functioned as the supreme chieftain of the Cumans, Köten and Bačman took the second or third place, while Bortz was fourth among them. After the defeat, Bortz and his people fled westbound, and his group (also known as "Danubian Cumans") settled down in the area between Lower Danube and the southeastern Carpathians. His residence was Karabuna, later known as Tatarbunary (present-day in Ukraine), where other Cuman tribes were already settled in the previous decades.
The way for the Cumans' conversion was opened after their defeat at the Kalka River. Bortz and other Cumans sought assistance from Hungary in order to prevent a possible next Mongol invasion. King Andrew II of Hungary made his oldest son, Béla, Duke of Transylvania in 1226. Duke Béla, who wanted to expand his authority over the neighboring Cuman tribes, supported the Dominican friars' missionary activities. The nearly-contemporaneous Alberic of Trois-Fontaines wrote that a Cuman chieftain's son (possibly Membrok) visited Robert, Archbishop of Esztergom in Hungary in 1227, asking the prelate to baptize him and his 12 retainers. Membrok also reported that his father and his 2,000 subjects were also willing to come to Transylvania to be baptized. Robert accepted the offer and went to Transylvania with three Hungarian prelates: Bartholomew le Gros, Bishop of Pécs; Bartholomew, Bishop of Veszprém, and Raynald of Belleville, Bishop of Transylvania. According to the chronicle of Emo, they met the Cuman chieftain Bortz and baptized him and his retainers in the presence of Duke Béla. Bortz also submitted himself and his people to the Hungarian monarch; a Dominican account claims that King Andrew II became the godfather of Membrok. It is possible that Robert and his three suffragans crossed the border across the Carpathian Mountains and the baptisms took place in Cumania. The number of Cumans baptised with their chief varies from source to source. Emo specified a "large number", Alberic noted 15,000, and the Austrian chronicles Vatzonis, Leobiense and Claustroneuburgense described 10,000 converts. In exchange for Bortz's oath of fealty, Andrew II granted privileges of freedom to the Cumans and their possession of land in Transylvania. The conversion of thousands of Cumans was followed by the creation of the Catholic bishopric of Cumania. According to Alberic, Archbishop Robert consecrated the Dominican friar Theodoric bishop of the new diocese in 1228. The territory of the bishopric overlapped Bortz's domain along the tributary Milcov.
Béla's youngest brother, Andrew, Prince of Halych, was expelled from his principality in the spring of 1229. Béla decided to help him to regain his throne. The duke launched military campaign against Daniel of Galicia, receiving support from Bortz and his tribe. Béla crossed the Carpathian Mountains and laid siege to Halych together with his Cuman allies in 1229 or 1230. Daniel was supported by other Cumans too, under the leadership of Köten. It is possible, Bortz and his army joined Béla's forces from outside the mountains. The Hungarian expedition ended in falure, Béla could not seize Halych and withdrew his troops. A papal diploma narrates that Bortz and his converted Cumans were under constant threat from three sides, the Sultanate of Rum, the neighboring pagan Cumans and Brodnici, and Orthodox Vlachs (including Romanians) and Bulgarians. Because of their danger, Pope Gregory IX declared that he exempted "Cumania" (i.e. Bortz's land) from the authority of king of Hungary on 1 October 1229, subjecting them directly to the tutelage of the Holy See. Bortz died "as a good Christian" prior to the first Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241, according to Dominican sources. He was buried in the Virgin Mary chapel built by the Dominicans in Buda.
