The Takanawa Embankment is a former railway embankment, built when Japan's first railway opened in 1872. A 770m section of the former 2.7 km long embankment was unearthed in 2019 during construction work on the JR Takanawa Gateway Station in Tokyo's Minato Ward. As of late 2021, there was debate among the railway and local government over the need to preserve the structure as an historical relic related to the construction of the railway. Description The embankment was part of Japan's first railway, which ran for 29 kilometers between Shimbashi and Yokohama. It was built circa 1872 and ran over shallow water. The trains appear to float over the water and the embankment was a frequent subject in local woodblock prints. The structure was filled with soil and solidified with stone walls, with trains running on top. Construction began in 1870 between the location of the present Tamachi and Shinagawa stations. “Met with objections from the then Ministry of War to have the route run near land, the maritime route was approved.” It was believed to have been lost when the area was reclaimed during the late Meiji Era. The area is now surrounded by dry land due to past land reclamation and has significantly chanted since the embankment was built. A letter urging preservation of the embankment by ICOMOS notes that the embankment marks an important milestone in Japanese railway history and represents the start of the country's modernization. They note it is "a hybrid structure, integrating foreign construction techniques from the UK with native Japanese construction techniques." Preservation efforts Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide visited the site on May 29, 2021, and expressed his wishes that the structure could be preserved. The Japanese Archaeological Association has requested that JR East and the Agency for Cultural Affairs fully preserve the Takanawa embankment, but the railway has said it only intends to preserve the most significant elements of the embankment, notably an 80-meter bridge and a section containing what is believed to be the base for Japan's first railway signal. This signal base was to be moved to another location nearby. Preservation would cost around 40 billion yen, with the railway asking government and other agencies to contribute funds towards preservation. The Archeological Association has stated that the embankment is " "exceptional in the world" and argues that the railway operator "has the responsibility to preserve all the remaining sections as a relic of East Asia’s first railway" ". The unearthed section run through an area intended to have a skyscraper to accommodate offices and other facilities; maintaining the embankment would significantly raise development costs of the area. The government has asked JR East to find a way to preserve the structure where it is located. Reporters were given a tour of the mostly unearthed structure on August 23, 2021, and preservation efforts were well underway. It was noted that the embankment was important for the understanding of transportation and civil engineering of the era. In October 2021, it was announced that Saga Governor Yoshinori Yamaguchi planned to have parts of the embankment relocated and rebuilt to commemorate the efforts of Shigenobu Okuma, a local politician who lobbied to have the embankment built. Designation The Japanese central government named about 120 m of the embankment as national historic site in September 2021. ICOMOS issued a heritage alert in February 2022, expressing serious concern over "imminent and irreversible threats to the Takanawa Chikutei maritime railway track embankment (Japan)". A letter has been sent to JR East and local and national authorities reiterating their concern over the threat of the loss of the embankment. References Historic Sites of Japan Seawalls

Wiggins, a professor of sport studies noted that her husband had commissioned the ring two months prior. Bryant was a strong influence on her husband. She was the focus of speculation by tabloids. In 2004, Bryant accused Lakers player Karl Malone of acting inappropriately towards her. Malone later apologized while denying making a pass at her.

Bryant denied those allegations and countersued Jimenez for breach of a confidentiality agreement. On December 16, 2011, Bryant filed for divorce from Kobe citing irreconcilable differences. This sparked speculation of financial ramifications for Kobe, with some estimating Bryant would receive $75 million. Thirteen months later, the Bryants called off the divorce. In April 2016, the David Wharton and Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times described Bryant as a contradictory and "at times polarizing public figure." In early December 2016, Bryant gave birth to a third daughter, and in January 2019 the Bryants announced they were expecting a fourth daughter. She was born in June 2019.

Biography Born in a large family of a merchant–gold miner Peter Gusyatnikov from his second marriage. She spent her childhood and youth in Moscow. Having lost her father early, she was raised by her mother, a Lutheran of Prussian origin, Natalya Ivanovna. She received a good home education. "A slender beautiful brunette, with an oblong aristocratic face", young Gusyatnikova was a rich bride. On July 30, 1820, she married a poor retired hussar Nikolai Maykov (1794–1873). Their wedding was in Moscow in the Exaltation of the Cross Church in the former Holy Cross Monastery. The couple lived either in Moscow in the house of the Gusyatnikovs, or in the suburbs, in the Maykov Estate in the village of Nikolsky near the Trinity–Sergius Lavra. Since 1834, the Maikovs lived permanently in Saint Petersburg, where in the 1830–1840s there was a literary salon in their house. They constantly gathered writers, musicians and artists: Ivan Goncharov, Vladimir Benediktov, Pyotr Ershov, Ivan Turgenev, Nikolai Nekrasov and others. In 1846, Fyodor Dostoevsky met the Maykovs. For many years, Evgeniya Petrovna was the center of an artistic and creative family and friendly circle. She actively participated in the Maykovs' handwritten editions: in the magazine "Snowdrop" (1835, 1836, 1838) and the almanac "Moonlight Nights" (1839). Possessing a literary gift, she wrote poems and novels. Under the signatures in the 1840s–1850s, she was published in the magazines "Library for Reading" and "Family Circle", in the early 1860s in the magazine "Snowdrop". According to others, Maykova was "an excellent, smart, kind woman". "Such women are not often found", wrote Ivan Goncharov, who appreciated her literary judgments. Vladimir Benediktov treated Maykova with great reverence and dedicated poems to her. She died in June 1880 and was buried next to her husband at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Saint Petersburg.

The Memorial to the Liberation of Algeria is a brutalist monument designed in 1978 by Algerian visual artist M'hamed Issiakhem, as Algiers was preparing to host the 1978 All-Africa Games. The memorial incorporates an earlier sculpted group from the French colonial era, formerly known as the monument aux morts or Le Pavois (referring to a shield used to carry somebody on high), no longer visible but still extant beneath a concrete casing. History Le Pavois was designed by architects Maurice Gras et and sculptors Paul Landowski and , winners of the public design competition in 1920, and inaugurated on . It featured a winged Victory evoking Marianne between a French poilu and an Algerian spahi, all three on horseback and together holding a shield () on which rests the body of a fallen World War I combatant. Additional figures included two women and two old men on the monument's back, intended to symbolize the emotional ties between the diverse communities of French Algeria. Issiakhem's design was a conscious endeavor to preserve the French colonial monument, which also honored the suffering of Algerian fighters, while removing it from public view.

George Herbert Moffett (1858 - November 12, 1904) was a prominent American Anglo-Catholic priest and Ritualist leader. Born in Cincinnati, he was graduated from Trinity College, Hartford (salutatorian, 1878) and the General Theological Seminary in New York (1881) before ordination to the diaconate on June 12, 1881, by Bishop Horatio Potter of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. He served as curate at Mount Calvary Church, Baltimore from July, 1881 to December, 1885, and developed a close association with the All Saints Sisters of the Poor that continued through his ministry. He was rector at the former Church of the Holy Innocents in Hoboken, New Jersey (1886-1895). He served as rector of S. Clement's, Philadelphia, continuing its tradition as a center of American Anglo-Catholicism. Passenger lists for arrivals at the Port of New York from England indicate frequent travels to England to alleviate strain brought on by overwork. He died of a heart attack brought on by nervous exhaustion while vesting to celebrate Mass and was buried in the Moffett mausoleum in Woodlawn Cemetery in New York City on November 16, 1904. During his tenure, S. Clement's became the first Anglican parish in North America to practice perpetual reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Talakhidamani (or Talakhideamani) was the king of Kush in the mid or late 3rd century AD, perhaps into the 4th century. He is known from two Meroitic inscriptions, one of which commemorates a diplomatic mission he sent to the Roman Empire. Talakhidamani's reign is tentatively placed between those of Tamelerdeamani and Aryesebokhe. His dates are uncertain, but a different king was ruling in 253. He is associated with a diplomatic mission usually dated to around 260, but his inscriptions have been put closer to c. 300 on palaeographic grounds. The name Talakhidamani consists of three elements: the stem tlh, the verbal suffix id and the name of the god Amun, amani. The last part is a universal element in the regnal names of later Kushite rulers. The first part may correspond to Greek Nike and signify victory. On this interpretation, the name means "he is victorious, Amun" and is equivalent to that of the 5th-century BC Kushite ruler Talakhamani. Talakhidamani is named in an inscription (no. REM 0101) placed in the so-called "Meroitic chamber" of the temple of Isis at Philae, where his name is spelled Tlhidmni. The name is preceded by the title qore (king) and that of another person, Maloqorebar, whose name probably means "beautiful is the boy of the kings". The two are placed under the protection of the goddess Patarus (an epithet of Isis) and the child god Horus. It has been tentatively suggested that Talakhidamani was ruling on behalf of a child, Maloqorebar, who had not yet received a regnal name. The Philae inscription is part of a larger representation in relief of a diplomatic mission meant to maintain contact with the Roman authorities in Egypt. Several members of the prominent Wayekiye family took part. The inscription itself is a letter from one of the diplomats describing the presents brought for the gods on behalf of the royalty who sent the mission, which apparently visited the Abaton as well as Philae. It is unknown if they went into Roman territory or to Rome itself. Talakhidamani also had an inscription placed on a stone in the temple of Amun outside the walls of Meroë, where his name is spelled Tlhidemn[i]. Both inscriptions appear to have been written by scribes from the same circle, which suggests that the Philae inscription was written by a scribe sent from Meroë, the Kushite capital. Prior to the discovery of the Meroë inscription, the name in the Philae inscription was often read as Lakhidamani (Lhidmni) and treated as feminine, that is, the name of a kandake. The absence of Maloqorebar's name on this inscription may suggest that he died before it was carved. The inscription asks the god for five gifts, but these cannot be translated. Three graffiti in Meroitic cursive at the Great Enclosure of Musawwarat, originally thought to refer Talakhamani, may actually refer to Talakhidamani, but this is speculative.

"Eat Your Salad" is a song by Latvian rap-pop band Citi Zēni. The song will represent Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy. Background According to the band, the song was created "to make a hard topic easy to digest & fun to listen to." Two main sources of inspiration were named for the song: one was a vegan friend of Jānis who wore a shirt that said "Instead of meat, I eat pussy", and the other was a contestant on a Latvian TV cooking show who convinced him to change Jānis' views on the environment, and at the end, challenged him to make a song based on that ideal and "develop this into a song that would not be depressing". The song talks about the attractiveness of being vegan and eco-friendly living. The first verse talks about eco-friendly things the group does. The second verse is filled with numerous sexual references, referring to an eco-friendly woman the group is attracted to. The chorus combines the messages of veganism and how the characteristic is sexually desirable. Eurovision Song Contest Supernova 2022 On 7 October 2021, LTV opened a two-month submission period for interested singers and songwriters to enter the audition process for Supernova 2022.

The Marides (Greek: Μάρηδες) are an native Thracian tribe that is said to be originated from the ancient Thracians with their own clothing and language idioms, with their descendants living mainly in 13 villages in the northern part of the Prefecture of Evros in Greece. Naming There is no official version of the origin of the name, but there are some unofficial versions. One of them considers that they are descendants of high priest Maron, while another claims that the word comes from the ancient Greek verb "μαρμαίρω" which means "shine", something that is directly related to their traditional costumes which literally shine from the ornaments. Characteristics It is a completely separate Thracian tribe, with characteristics similar to those of the ancient Thracians. Even today it is a population group with strong internal cohesion. They have a common origin, historical origins, the same psychosynthesis and character, behavior, mentality, expression and pronunciation, customs and traditions and traditional clothing. Their society is dominated by the Thracian way of life, they are tied to their rich and genuine Thracian tradition, while until recently (around 1950) it was a completely closed society. It is characteristic that the vast majority of surnames end in "-idis" and "-oudis", which testifies to the close kinship ties. Up to the 1950s they did not exchange grooms and brides with other villages so "their race won't spoil". References Thracians Greek tribes Thracian tribes

The Book of Boba Fett, an American space Western television series created by Jon Favreau and released for the streaming service Disney+ on December 29, 2021, features an extensive amount of cast members and characters. The protagonists of the series are the title character and antihero Boba Fett, a bounty hunter, crime lord, and clone of his father Jango Fett; Fennec Shand, an elite mercenary and assassin in Fett's service; and Din Djarin, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter who has worked with Fett before. Several supporting characters also appear in the series, including Fett's allies such as 8D8, Garsa Fwip, Krrsantan, Drash, and Skad. The main villans of the series are the Pykes Syndicates, who are a group of aliens of the Pyke species that run spice throughout the galaxy, and bounty hunter Cad Bane, an ally of the Pykes. The Hutt Twins also appear as minor antagonists. Other characters that appear in the series are Mayor Mok Shaiz, Lortha Peel, Peli Motto, Cobb Vanth, Ahsoka Tano, and Luke Skywalker. Main characters Boba Fett Boba Fett is the title character and antihero of The Book of Boba Fett. He is also a Mandalorian bounty hunter, crime lord, and clone of his father Jango Fett. In the series, he barely escapes the sarlacc and loses his armor to Jawas. He is then captured by Tusken Raiders, where he learns their ways and helps protect them. Later, Fett finds Fennec Shand, an assassin, half-dead and takes her to a cybernetic shop to get parts of her body replaced. Fett, with the help of Shand, gets his ship, Slave I, back and takes the throne of Jabba the Hutt's empire after killing his successor Bib Fortuna. Later, in "Chapter 9: The Marshal" of The Mandalorian, Fett gets his armor back from a man named Cobb Vanth. Fett and Shand, who decides to remain with him, take control of Jabba the Hutt’s criminal empire of Tatooine. Fett ends up going to war with the Pyke Syndicate, because they are selling spice throughout Mos Espa. Fett defeats the Pykes and kills their allies, restoring Mos Espa to what it was. Fett is portrayed by Temuera Morrison, who has played Fett before in The Mandalorian and has also played Jango Fett in other Star Wars media. Daniel Logan portrays young Boba Fett from archive footage from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones with Finnegan Garay serving as the on-set actor. JJ Dashnaw serves as Morrison's stunt double. Morrison said that he thinks fate had to do with him getting the role of Boba Fett, like when he met Jon Favreau on the set of Couples Retreat. When playing Fett, Morrison said that he tried to focus on Fett's "simmering kind of violence" and desire for revenge, as well as his loneliness, that was caused by watching his father die at a young age. In an interview with NME, Morrison said that he tried to cut his character’s dialogue when Favreau was away from the set because he thought Fett talked too much. He also tried to give some of his lines to Ming-Na Wen and cut some of her lines as well, saying that he wanted their characters to stay somewhat mysterious and quiet. Morrison also added in the ceremony scene for the Tusken Raiders after their camp was destroyed. The script originally had the Tuskens thrown in a fire, but Morrison said, "Oh, hang on, we got to put a bit of ceremony into this". Boba Fett's character in the series has received mixed reviews, while Morrison's portrayal of Fett has been praised. Some have said that, without Morrison portraying Boba Fett, the series might have been a total disaster and that he is the only face that could have brought Fett back to life. Decider's Megan O'Keefe wrote, "Boba Fett is the least interesting character in The Book of Boba Fett." Rich Knight from Cinema Blend stated that he used to not like Fett, but became interested in his character as he was the only one in the series who "seems like an actual human being". Chris Edwards of The Guardian said that Disney+ ruined one of the "coolest and most mysterious characters" in Star Wars. Fennec Shand Fennec Shand is an elite mercenary and assassin. In The Mandalorian, Shand is captured by Din Djarin as a bounty and is left half-dead by Toro Calican, who Djarin was working with. In The Book of Boba Fett, Shand is saved from dying by Boba Fett and has parts of her body replaced with cybernetics. She helps Fett get his ship Slave I back and serves as Fett’s new partner to help him take control of Jabba’s empire. During the war with the Pykes, Shand saves the cyborg gang and kills the Pyke Boss, Mayor Mok Shaiz, and the other crime lords of Mos Espa, who betray Fett. Ming-Na Wen portrays and voices Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian and in The Book of Boba Fett with Ming Qiu as her stunt double. Fennec Shand is the first major Star Wars villain/antihero character portrayed by an Asian actress. Wen stated that it was her "dream role of a lifetime" to play Fennec. Wen also said that because she has been a Star Wars fan since her childhood, she feels that she has been preparing for the role of Fennec her entire life. She also went on to say that there's a lot about Fennec that she felt familiar with, "as a woman who needs to struggle and make a name for herself, and strive to beat the odds". Shand's costume design, done by Joseph Porro, was based on the fennec fox. Wen said that it was an "amazing outfit that I fell in love with right away". Fennec Shand has received positive reviews. TV Insider's Emily Hannemann stated that she is just "plain cool" saying, "Not every character can steal a scene by sitting and drinking spotchka, but not every character is Fennec Shand." Anthony Breznican of Vanity Fair said that the character had contributed to the trend of more diverse characters in Star Wars. Stating that Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand, like Din Djarin and Grogu, has left a mark in the Star Wars franchise, Cinema Blend's Erik Swann praised Fenned Shand. Din Djarin Din Djarin, also known by his sobriquet The Mandalorian, is a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter that protects a young alien named Grogu. He appears as the title character and protagonist in the series The Mandalorian. In The Book of Boba Fett "Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian", he tracks and kills a bounty and brings their head in exchange for directions to a Mandalorian hideout. He finds the Armorer and Paz Vizsla, who are the last survivors of his Mandalorian warrior tribe, and they ask him about the Darksaber he has. Vizsla, who's ancestor created the Darksaber, duels Djarin for the Darksaber and loses, but Djarin reveals that he broke the Mandalorian code by removing his helmet and is stripped from his title as a Mandalorian. When he visits Peli Motto, he gets a new ship called the Naboo N-1 starfighter to replace his old one. Later, Shand asks if he can help Boba Fett with the imminent war coming, and he agrees. Din Djarin is portrayed by Pedro Pascal, who also plays Din Djarin in The Mandalorian. Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder serve as the body doubles for Pascal. Favreau said that Din Djarin was inspired by Clint Eastwood’s character a Man with No Name. Pascal has said that he was a Star Wars fan as a kid and that his favorite character was Boba Fett. Many were glad to see Pedro Pascal as Djarin starring in The Book of Boba Fett. Polygon's Matt Patches praised the character saying, "Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin... steps back to the spotlight, and acts like the Boba Fett fans fell in love with in the first place." Recurring characters Several characters have recurred in more than two episodes in The Book of Boba Fett. 8D8 8D8 is a smelter droid that has been reprogrammed as a torture droid for Jabba the Hutt and is now in Fett's service, after being reactivated by him. 8D8 serves as Fett's majordomo and sometimes his translator droid. In the series, 8D8 introduces those who come to pay tribute to Boba Fett as the new leader of Jabba's former empire and also tells Fett he should keep the Gamorrean guards to show strength. He also tells Fett who the assassin of the Night Wind is. Later, he discusses the history of Jabba's former empire and helps Fett and Shand plan how to control it. Matt Berry provides the voice for the droid and keeps the trend of featuring comedian voice actors as droids in Star Wars. With the most recent ones being Taika Waititi as IG-11 in The Mandalorian and Bill Hader as BB-8 in the Star Wars sequels. Critics were glad to see 8D8 in the series. Mike Ryan from Uproxx expressed, "I can’t help but feel happy for 8D8, finally getting his due". Blake Hawkins of Comic Book Resources liked 8D8 writing that there has been many murderous droids in Star Wars before, and they all had a purpose for killing, but said that "8D8 was just plain sadistic because he clearly enjoyed his job. It goes to show that droids could be programmed to do anything – even willing and ruthless torturers." TheWrap's Drew Taylor disliked 8D8 calling him a "fussy torture droid". Ethan Anderton of /Film said that Matt Berry as 8D8 is the greatest cameo in The Book of Boba Fett. Twi'lek Majordomo The Twi'lek Majordomo is the majordomo to Mayor Mok Shaiz of Mos Espa. When Boba Fett becomes the new leader of Jabba's former empire, the Twi'lek Majordomo comes to bring tribute to him on behalf of the mayor, but really demands a tribute of his own. He then apologizes, seeing that Fett is unhappy that the mayor did not come himself. Later, when Fett needs to meet with the mayor about how he promised Jabba's territory to another, the Majordomo says that the mayor is unavailable and secretly escapes on a speeder. Fett's newly acquired cyborg gang hunts him down, and he reveals that the mayor is working with the Pyke Syndicate. Fett and Djarin later use the Majordomo as a diversion to attack the Pykes by surprise, when they are surrounded outside what is left of The Sanctuary. David Pasquesi portrays the Twi'lek Majordomo. He is a comedian who stars in Strangers with Candy, which had another comedian, Amy Sedaris, who plays Peli Motto in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Pasquesi as the Twi’lek majordomo has received positive reviews. /Film’s Brian Young said, "Star Wars has had a great run of casting comedians in key roles on their television shows and Pasquesi's weaselly Majordomo is no exception." Sofia Mandela of Vizaca Magazine said that Pasquesi is "the perfect choice for a brief yet impactful role." Alan Sepinwall from Rolling Stone called the Majordomo a "coward". Garsa Fwip Madam Garsa Fwip, a Twi’lek commonly referred to as Garsa Fwip, runs The Sanctuary, a cantina in Mos Espa. In the series, Fett and Shand come to pay a visit to her cantina letting her know that the cantina will still thrive under their watch. While there, Fwip quickly gets someone to polish their helmets and fill Fett's with coins, giving him his share of the pay. Later, when Fett and Shand return to the cantina, they hears loud drums banging outside, and Fwip explains that two of Jabba's cousins, The Twins, have come to claim Fett's land that used to be Jabba's. In "Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm", Krrsantan starts fighting Trandoshians inside the cantina, and Fwip tries to stop him by telling him of his past of being a gladiator, and how he has already showed how great and powerful he is. Krrsantan doesn't listen and continues to fight. Later, while Fwip is inside The Sanctuary, two Pykes blow it up killing her. Jennifer Beals portrays Garsa Fwip. In an interview with Variety, Beals said that she was hired to play Fwip when her brother had just told her about The Mandalorian, and she walked into the room to hear the phone ring with someone telling her she got the job for The Book of Boba Fett, so she started watching The Mandalorian. She said that when she first stepped on set, she had no clue what series she was part of, but said that she knew it was Star Wars and what her character was like. She also admitted she did not know much about Star Wars. When asked if her lekku, the two tentacle-like appendages on Twi'leks heads, were hard to put and keep on, She said that the Brian Sipe and Alexei Dmitriew made it easy for her by making them light and balance perfectly on her head. For Fwip's costume design, Beals said that she was talking to her costume designer, Shawna Trpcic, about meditation and Trpcic told her if she ever had any images of her character’s appearance while she was meditating to tell her. Beals sent her images, and Trpcic put them into her design. Beals also said that one of Fwip's costumes was designed as Fwip's version of a cat eye, and said that the makeup was a throwback to the Egyptian lineage. The scar that goes from Fwip's collarbone to her sternum was also Beals' idea, since she thought that you cannot come out of a war without a scratch. For the original script, Fwip's servants would call her master, but Beals did not like that saying Fwip is trying to create a sanctuary of beauty so they changed it to madam. Beals was also working on the second season of The L Word: Generation Q when filming The Book of Boba Fett and she said that it was like two totally different worlds. Since her Lekku were already made and her makeup artist created stencils for the eye makeup, Beals said that it took less time to do the makeup for The Book of Boba Fett than it did in The L Word. Many have said that they thought Fwip was going to be the main villain of the series. Comicbook.com's Jamie Jirak was excited to see Beals as Fwip. Fans were also pleased to see Beals playing Fwip. Krrsantan Krrsantan is a black-furred Wookiee, who is a bounty hunter and former gladiator hired by The Hutt Twins as a bodyguard, who is now in Fett's service. Krrsantan originally appeared in Marvel's Star Wars comics, where he is exiled from Kashyyyk, becomes a gladiator, fights Chewbacca as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi, becomes a bounty hunter for Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt, and sometimes serves as a bodyguard for Doctor Aphra. In the series, he makes his first appearance as the Hutt Twins’ bodyguard to intimidate Fett. Later, the Hutt Twins send Krrsantan to assassinate Boba Fett while he is in his bacta tank, but Krrsantan fails when Fett and his allies trap him in the empty rancor cage. Fett releases him and later hires him as one of his bodyguards, after he saw him rip off the arm of a Tradoshan in The Sanctuary. During the war, Krrsantan watches the central and business districts of Mos Espa, owned by the Trandoshans, to make sure the Pykes do not enter through that way. The Trandoshans betray Fett and attack Krrsantan, but he is able to defend himself and helps Fett fight off the Pykes. Carey Jones portrays Krrsantan. Via Twitter, Angie Mayhew, widow of the late Peter Mayhew, who portrayed Chewbacca, welcomed Carey Jones to the "Wookie family". In an interview, Morrison said that for Krrsantan's first appearance he is performed by a guy named "Big" Dave in a costume. Krrsantan was created by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larocca, who originally created him for the Marvel comics. Krrsantan has been widely praised. Eric Francisco of Inverse.com praised the Wookie calling him "one of the most fearsome characters to ever carry a blaster". He also said that Krrsantan "is easily one the scariest characters in Star Wars history" and said that his "intimidating presence" makes The Book of Boba Fett a treat. Comic Book Resources''' Brenton Stewart gave the title for the most interesting character on The Book of Boba Fett to Krrsantan saying, "He has a cool design... and an intriguing and imagination-provoking background, with both gladiators and bounty hunters earning instant cool points for any character where their combination only puts him over the top." Drash and Skad Drash and Skad are the two leaders of the cyborg gang that steal Lortha Peel's water. Seeing that they have no pay, Fett hires them after he stops them from stealing Peel's water. As Fett's new bodyguards, they help trap Krrsantan in the empty rancor cage, when he tries to assassinate Fett. Later, when the Twi'lek Majordomo tries to run from Fett, Drash and the rest of her gang chase him down and stop him. After convincing Fett to fight the Pykes on the streets of Mos Espa instead of his palace, Drash and Skad both help Boba Fett defeat the Pykes. Drash is portrayed by Sophie Thatcher and Skad is portrayed by Jordan Bolger. Jon Favreau compared Thatcher's character to a sci-fi Joan Jett. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Thatcher said that she deleted Twitter and Reddit, because she did not want to hear anything about the series. She also said that to get the role she did a self-tape with her sister and later heard she got the job. When asked about if she knew what she was going for with her character, She responded saying that they let her improvise some and also asked her to do a British accent, which she thought worked well with Jordan Boldger even though she has an American accent. She also worked with Pedro Pascal before on the Prospect. Thatcher said that for her cybernetic arm they started off doing it with makeup and prosthetics, but they did not like it so they instead put a green sleeve on her arm to later computer animate it. In the fighting scene with Krrsantan, she said, "I guess it wasn’t a lot of stunt stuff, but I’m not used to it at all. Even doing a little ducking and moving around and getting the right steps was really stressful for me. I’m not the most coordinated person, so I had to do a lot of physical acting." For the speeder chase scene, she said that she was on a rig the whole time instead of an actual speeder. She also said that most of the filming was done on the backlot with some of it in the volume. Drash and Skad have received generally mixed reviews. Their gang was negatively compared to the Power Rangers, while some positively said they looked like a homage to George Lucas' film American Graffiti. Decider's Meghan O'Keefe said that Sophie Thatcher's Drash is "Star Wars' new cool girl". Featured guest characters Several characters have been featured in two or less episodes in The Book of Boba Fett and are considered to play a significant part. Hutt Twins The Hutt Twins, commonly referred to as just The Twins, are one male and one female, who are cousins of Jabba the Hutt. They are from the planet Nal Hutta and come to take control over Jabba's empire on Tatooine, after the death of Bib Fortuna, who took over Jabba the Hutt's throne when he died. The Twins are first seen in "Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine", where they confront Fett telling him he needs to give over Jabba's land, threatening him with Wookie bounty hunter Krrsantan. After Fett refuses, they leave saying that they will be back. The Twins later send Krrsantan to kill Fett, but their plan fails. They come to apologize to Fett bringing him a rancor and leave Tatooine telling Fett that Mayor Mok Shaiz promised the land to another. In an interview with TVLine's Matt Mitovich, Morrison and Wen tell Mitovich that when filming the scene for the Hutt Twins' introduction, they were actually looking at cardboard cutouts of their characters with Morrison's stand-in, Jimmy, doing the voice-over. Jamie Lovett of ComicBook.com described The Twins as "a pair of interesting new antagonists to contend with Boba Fett". The Ringer's Ben Lindbergh criticized The Twins CGI, saying that it did not look as great as the one-ton Jabba the Hutt puppet. Lortha Peel Lortha Peel is a water-monger in the Worker's District of Mos Espa, who appears in "Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa". He comes to tell Fett that ever since he usurped the throne the city has been in chaos and that no one respects him. He continues to say that a cyborg gang keeps stealing his water and ask Fett to stop them. Paying off a fraction of what the gang owes, Fett stops them and tells Peel to lower his prices, seeing that they are too high. Stephen Root portrays Lortha peel. Peli Motto Peli Motto is a mechanic at a spaceport in Tatooine, who has previously appeared in The Mandalorian. Motto is first seen in the background of "Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa", when Fett is on his way to meet with the Pyke Boss. When Djarin leaves the Mandalorian’s hideout, she tells Djarin that she has a replacement for his old ship, the Razor Crest, which was obliterated. She shows him an old Naboo N-1 Starfighter, but he express that he does not like it and thought she had another Razor Crest for him. Motto convinces him to stay and help work on the ship. Djarin then takes it on a test flight and keeps the ship. Later, R2-D2 drops off Grogu at Motto's spaceport, and she takes him to Djarin, who is in the midst of the battle with the Pykes. Actress and comedian Amy Sedaris performs as Peli Motto in both The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian. Sedaris worked with Jon Favreau before on The Mandalorian and the movie Elf. Jamie Jirak from ComicBook.com described Motto as the "lovable Tatooine mechanic" and said that he was glad to see her in a full appearance on the series. Rancor Trainer The unnamed Rancor Trainer is introduced in "Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa", where he brings Fett his new pet rancor calf, gifted to him as an apology from the Twins for sending Krrsantan to assassinate him. The rancor's cage had been empty ever since Luke killed Jabba's Rancor in Return of the Jedi. Once the rancor is put in its cage, the Trainer explains to Fett that rancors are complex creatures and will connect with the first human they see. He also goes on to say that they are loving and peaceful creatures unless threatened, unlike how rancors have been seen in the past as a huge monster that kill those who they can get their hands on. After learning that the Witches of Dathomir used to ride the creature, Fett tells the Trainer that he wants to learn how to ride the rancor. Later, in "Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor", Fett rides the rancor and destroys the Pyke's two Scorpenek annihilator droids. Danny Trejo performs as the Rancor Trainer and has worked with Robert Rodriguez, who is one of the writers and directors of the series and is Trejo's second cousin, before in movies like Machete and Spy Kids. Trejo was happy to be working with Temuera Morrison tweeting, "Machete finally made it into space, Star Wars! It was great working with Temuera Morrison and others on #TheBookOfBobaFett!", while taking a picture with him besides the rancor prop. Many were happy to see Trejo as a character in The Book of Boba Fett. Scott Snowden from Space.com stated that Danny Trejo portraying the Rancor Trainer is "utterly perfect casting". Ryan Britt of Inverse said that Trejo brought his "signature wit, combined with a lurking sense of menace" to his character. Mod Artist The Mod Artist is the cybernetic mod artist, who has a robotic arm and saves Fennec Shane’s life. He appears in "Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm" in one of Fett’s flashbacks. After Fett finds Shand half-dead, he aides her and takes her to a mod-parlor shop, where parts of her body are replaced with cybernetics by the Mod Artist. In "Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor", the Mod Artist can be seen working on Cob Vanth in Fett's palace. Musician Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner makes his first acting debut as the Mod Artist. Costume designer, Shawna Trpcic, said that for his outfit she used a fabric that resembled the outfit of Star Wars character Lando Calrissian. Trpcic said that she created the design using old material from a British company that used wool on one side and a plastic raincoat fabric on the other side. The Armorer The Armorer is the leader of the Mandalroian tribe of warriors Din Djarin is part of. She is seen in "Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian", where she is in a new secret location with the only other survivor of their tribe Paz Vizla. When Djarin finds their new hideout, the Armorer inspects the Darksaber and explains its history, teaching him how to use it. Later, when Djarin reveals he broke the Mandalorian creed by taking off his helmet, she strips him of his title as a Mandalorian and tells him he can only get the title back by bathing in the living waters under the mines of Mandalore that have been destroyed. Seeing Djarin’s beskar staff, she tells him that he needs to forge it into something else, as beskar can break beskar armor. He ask her to forge it into a chain-link armor as a present for Grogu, and she does so. Emily Swallow portrays the Armorer, who also portrayed her in The Mandalorian. Emily said that the Armorer's commanding presence was inspired by the director for two of the episode of the first season of The Mandalorian, Deborah Chow. Cobb Vanth Cobb Vanth is the marshal of Freetown, previously known as Mos Pelgos, who used to have Boba Fett’s armor. He appears in "Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger", where he is first seen stopping a group of Pykes from running spice in Freetown. Later, Djarin visits Vanth asking him to help him and Fett with the upcoming war against the Pyke Syndicate. Vanth is unsure if he and his people will help with the war. After Djarin leaves, bounty hunter Cad Bane, ally of the Pykes, tries to persuade Vanth into staying neutral, but instead ends up shooting him. After being shot, he is taken to Fett's palace where he is worked on by the Mod Artist. Timothy Olyphant portrays Cobb Vanth. Luke Skywalker Luke Skywalker is a Jedi master who protects and trains a young alien named Grogu. He is first seen training Grogu how to use the force. Later, he helps Grogu remember his past as a youngling. When he receives Djarin’s gift for Grogu, he tells Grogu that he can either choose Djarin’s gift and follow the path of a Mandalorian, or he can choose Yoda’s lightsaber and continue his training to becoming a Jedi. Luke Skywalker is portrayed by Mark Hamill, using reference photos of his younger self, and Graham Hamilton, who serves as the on-set actor for Luke. Grogu Grogu is a young force-sensitive alien of the same species as Yoda. In the series, Grogu is being trained by Luke Skywalker. Luke teaches him how to use the force by using a droid. While training with Luke, he helps Grogu remember his past as a Jedi youngling, where Grogu sees Jedis trying to protect him during the events of the Great Jedi Purge. Later, Grogu is forced to make a decision to continue his trading by taking Yoda’s lightsaber, or follow the ways of a Mandalorian and take Djarin’s gift, a chain-link beskar armor. Grogu chooses the armor and is taken back to Djarin, where he helps use the force in the war and puts Fett's rancor to sleep. Ahsoka Tano Ahsoka Tano is a Jedi of the Togruta species. She appears at Luke Skywalker’s training academy and finds Din Djarin resting on a bench, waiting to give Grogu his gift. Ahsoka tells Djarin that he should not see Grogu as it would go against the Jedi’s rules of personnel attachment. Upset, Djarin listens to Ahsoka, and lets her give the gift to Grogu. After Djarin leaves the academy, Ahsoka hands the gift to Luke, who expresses that he is unsure if Grogu is committed to the path of becoming a Jedi. Ahsoka Tano is portrayed by Rosario Dawson, who has played her before in The Mandalorian. Cad Bane Cad Bane is a bounty hunter and ally of the Pykes that is of the Duros species. Cad Bane, on behalf of the Pykes, ask Cobb Vanth and his people to stay neutral in the war, but ends up shooting Cobb Vanth and his Deputy, when he sees the Deputy reach for his gun. Cad Bane then arrives at Mos Espa, demanding that Fett surrender. Fett refuses and war breaks out between him and the Pykes, with Bane telling Fett that the Pykes killed the Tuskens and framed the Nikto gang. Bane later finds himself in a standoff with Fett and shoots him. While an injured Fett is on the ground, Fett grabs his gaffi stick and stabs Bane in the chest. Corey Burton, who has done the voice of Cad Bane before in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and in the Star Wars: The Bad Batch series, provides the voice for him, and Dorian Kingi does the physical performance.

While an injured Fett is being placed in his bacta tank, Shand chases the assassins down killing all but one and brings the remaining assassin to Fett. Not responding, the Night Wind Assassin is asked by Fett who hired him. He finally tells Fett it was Mayor Mok Shaiz, when Fett tricks him by dropping him into the empty rancor cage. Fett brings him to the mayor and the mayor denies hiring him and kills the assassin. Paul Darnell portrays the Night Wind Assassin. Mayor Mok Shaiz Mayor Mok Shaiz is the Ithorian mayor of Mos Espa on Tatooine. When Boba Fett becomes the Daimyo of Tatooine, instead of coming to give tribute to Fett himself, the mayor sends his majordomo, making Fett unhappy.

Tapada limeña (means "Liman [fem.] covered one") was the denomination used at the time of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the first years of the Republic to designate the white women of the upper class in Lima who covered their heads and faces with comfortable silk mantones, revealing just one eye. Its use began in the 16th century and it spread until well into the 19th century, that is, its use lasted for three centuries and was not only limited to the "City of the Kings", but also to other important cities in the region. In Lima, the custom remained until well into the Republic, when it was relegated by French fashions. Background In 1583, the Archbishop of Lima Toribio de Mogrovejo pronounced an energetic rejection of the Lima custom of wearing the saya and the cloak as usual garments worn by women in the capital. This happened during the Third Liman Council that he himself presided over and that gave rise to a censorship that the Cortes of 1586 confirmed during the reign of Philip II of Spain. It was agreed that the offenders would be fined 3,000 maravedís. The fear of this custom, already widespread among Liman women and that had generated so many misunderstandings and confusion, made the authorities suspect that the first cases of transvestism in the Viceroyalty were taking place. Origin The use of the saya and the cloak, a pair of distinctive garments of the Tapada limeña, appeared in Lima around 1560. About its origin it has been said that it is Moorish, due to the undeniable similarities that they bear with the costumes that cover the body of Muslim women, although later the theory of its Castilian origin was established. The first official testimonies that deal with clothing were not very merciful with their users: There were many ordinances subsequent to this act of the Cortes of 1586, but none could dissuade the Liman women. Characteristics The characteristic attire of the tapada connoted insinuation, coquetry, prohibition and seduction game. However, it was still a dress: the saya outlined the hips and the cloak covered the head and face, except for course, a single eye. The tapada was a symbol of the freedom of Liman women and this symbol was used to distinguish themselves from women of other classes and roots (races). Behind the cloak could live a toothless grandmother as well as a one-eyed woman stung by smallpox. The possibilities were many, as there must have been many occasions when gallant boys or old men squandered compliments on their wives, sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law, mothers or daughters who could hide their true identity behind their cloaks. The saya was a large and long silk skirt, colored blue, brown, green or black. To secure it, a belt was used that girded it to the woman's waist. It was not uncommon for some of the less graceful to wear false hips that exaggerated their natural endowments. Underneath this skirt it could see the small foot (shod with an embroidered satin shoe) that also made the colonial Lima women famous. The cloak was also made of silk, tied at the waist and up the back to cover the head and face, revealing only one eye and perhaps the arms. This cloak was usually a simple fabric so that the tapadas would not stand out in public and retain anonymity. Political use of the saya Over time, the varieties of costumes went hand in hand with the political climate, which the tapadas took advantage of to favor their caudillos. Felipe Santiago Salaverry with the saya salaverrina, Agustín Gamarra with the saya gamarrina, Luis José de Orbegoso with the saya orbegosina. The Tapadas limeñas were an icon in ancient Lima, an original presence that did not exist in any other city in Hispanic America. The insinuating game, the symbol of secrecy, perhaps of an incipient female freedom, caught the attention of visitors who passed through the capital city during the three hundred years that the clothing was worn. In the 19th century they were painted by the Frenchman Leonce Angrand, the German Johann Moritz Rugendas and the Liman mulatto Pancho Fierro, as well as staged by Manuel Ascencio Segura in his satirical work La saya y el manto. For her part, in Peregrinaciones de una paria (1838), Flora Tristan wrote about the saya: Decline Contrary to the opinion of some specialists, the Tapada limeña was not a fashion because the resistance to change and the attachment to tradition denote a stability, a comfort that allowed gossip, intrigues and other Lima customs. However, after three hundred years of validity, the tapada was disappearing and by 1860, the French fashion had displaced the saya and the mantle.

The T-Squared Trail is a hiking trail in north-central Pennsylvania, through portions of Sproul State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest. For most hikers, the T-Squared Trail serves as a connection between two long-distance backpacking routes: the Donut Hole Trail and the Black Forest Trail. History and route The T-Squared Trail was constructed in the early 2000s as a route between the Donut Hole Trail and the Black Forest Trail, both long-distance backpacking routes in north-central Pennsylvania that pass near each other but do not meet. The T-Squared Trail was named after longtime Pennsylvania hiking historian and trail builder Tom Thwaites, who was largely responsible for the state's longest continuous backpacking route: the Mid State Trail. The T-Squared Trail was formed from several short trails in the area, with a few new connectors and two very short walks along dirt roads. Neither end of the trail is near parking or paved road access, though informal parking is available at the trail's encounter with Dry Run Road. The T-Squared Trail begins at a junction with the Donut Hole Trail, along Cougar Run in Sproul State Forest and about five miles north of Hyner Run State Park. The T-Squared Trail heads to the north and immediately climbs very steeply to the top of the Allegheny Plateau and then briefly traverses a high hilltop area. It then plunges steeply to Mill Run at 1.5 miles and again climbs steeply back to the top of the plateau. This time the trail remains on relatively high ground and walks briefly on Dry Run Road at 3.0 miles, near the border into Tiadaghton State Forest. The trail continues northbound and jogs briefly on Benson Road at 4.6 miles. At 4.8 miles the T-Squared Trail reaches a junction with the Baldwin Point Trail, an older path that leads from Pennsylvania Route 44 to a significant vista, and the two trails are concurrent for the next half of a mile. When the trails split at 5.3 miles, the T-Squared Trail heads east and plunges very steeply into the hollow formed by an upper tributary of Baldwin Branch. At 5.7 miles, the T-Squared Trail ends at the Black Forest Trail, about eight-tenths of a mile west of PA Route 44. References Hiking trails in Pennsylvania

Between 2020 and 2022, there were an unusually large number of books banned or challenged in the United States. Most of the targeted books have to do with race, gender, and sexuality. Unlike most book challenges in the past, whereby parents or other stakeholders in the community would engage teachers and school administrators in a debate over a title, local groups have received support from conservative advocacy organizations working to nationalize the efforts focused on certain subjects. They have also been more likely to involve legal and legislative measures rather than just conversations in local communities. Journalists, academics, librarians, and others commonly link the coordinated, often well-funded book challenges to other reactionary efforts to restrict what students should learn about systemic bias and the history of the United States. Hundreds of books have been challenged, including high-profile examples like Maus by Art Spiegelman and New Kid by Jerry Craft. Background and scope In fall 2021, the American Library Association (ALA) received 330 reports of book challenges, a rate which it called "unprecedented", but also an undercount because the ALA estimates 82–97% of challenges are not reported. Only 1% of the challenges were initiated by students, and most were by parents or library patrons. The New York Times reported in January 2022 that "parents, activists, school board officials and lawmakers around the country are challenging books at a pace not seen in decades". Most of the books have to do with race, sex, and gender. Parents, teachers, students, and other stakeholders commonly express concerns over the works students read in schools. Typically, the process of challenging a book's inclusion in curricula or in libraries involves the parties reading the book, debating its appropriateness, and making a decision at the level of a teacher, class, school, or district. The spate of challenges and bans in 2020–22 differ from the norm in number as well as the tactics and politics involved. Conservative organizations, activists, and politicians have driven many of the challenges, and they have operated through higher-level political processes than usual, proposing legislation and petitioning lawmakers rather than just teachers or local school boards. The involvement of national advocacy groups also sets the 2020–22 trend apart from book challenges of the past. Organizations like No Left Turn in Education and Parents Defending Education operate nationally, with connections to wealthy conservative donors and organizations, but provide resources, connections, and sophisticated strategy to grow, support, and mobilize local parent groups. According to NBC News, as of June 2021, there were "at least 165 local and national groups that aim to disrupt lessons on race and gender". Several of the challenges have begun with lists of books shared online by conservative advocacy organizations like No Left Turn in Education and Moms for Liberty. The lists are distributed to parents who then audit local schools and libraries to see if they have any copies of the listed titles. No Left Turn in Education, for example, maintains lists of books in categories "critical race theory", "anti-police", and "comprehensive sexuality education", which they say "are used to spread radical and racist ideologies to students". The strategy of distributing lists has meant that many challenges come from people who have not actually read the books they argue to ban. NBC News reported that while these groups operate differently, "they share strategies of disruption, publicity and mobilization. The groups swarm school board meetings, inundate districts with time-consuming public records requests and file lawsuits and federal complaints alleging discrimination against white students." One parent in Rhode Island submitted more than 200 records requests which took 300 staff hours to respond to. In some places, they teamed up with other activists fighting against public health restrictions in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. The groups have also been successful in attracting attention in conservative media. According to University of Massachusetts political science professor Maurice T. Cunningham, the parents' rights groups are "highly networked into The Daily Caller, Breitbart [and] Fox News". In 2020 the murder of George Floyd and other unarmed Black Americans by law enforcement led to widespread protests against police brutality and systemic racism. The public conversation about these concepts led some teachers and schools to talk about racism more with their students. That, and the Black Lives Matter movement in general, also fueled a reactionary movement advocating for teaching students an idealized version of the history of the United States which omits or whitewashes issues like racism. The book challenge trend is frequently linked by journalists and academics to other elements of that reactionary movement, especially the restrictions on teaching "critical race theory" which limit the extent to which students can learn about systemic racism and the history of race in the United States. Legislation was introduced or passed in at least 29 states taking aim at lessons that teach children about race and inequality, with most of the laws framed around putting a stop to "critical race theory". These laws, which use broad language prohibiting teaching about privilege related to race or sex, or systemic bias in the United States, have led to many book removals. NBC News described the use of the term "critical race theory" in this context as "a catch-all term to refer to what schools often call equity programs, teaching about racism or LGBTQ-inclusive policies". University of Michigan education professor Ebony Elizabeth Thomas summarized the issue as "an assumption that everything Black is critical race theory". Proponents of removing books talk about how certain kinds of lessons dealing with racism and history can make students uncomfortable and make white students feel guilty. In some other cases, the books have been by or about people of color or the LGBTQ community, but the reasons cited for removal have to do with profanity or sex. For example, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is a popular young adult book. The novel is about a black girl from a poor neighborhood who attends an elite, predominantly white private school and becomes entangled in a national news story after she witnesses a white police officer kill her childhood friend. It has been among the most challenged books primarily because it contains profanity. According to Richard Price, a professor at Weber State University who studies book censorship, there is a "cycle of anxiety in which book challengers are driven by concerns and fears about a changing world. And so whatever the issue of the day is, then that usually drives and pushes people to try to remove books". Before the focus on critical race theory in 2020, the most commonly banned books had to do with LGBTQ inclusion. In her Washington Post analysis, Valerie Strauss contextualized the bans in the history of book censorship in the United States, dating back to charges of blasphemy in 1650 against William Pynchon's The Meritorious Price on Our Redemption, and spanning The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and the Harry Potter books, which were the most challenged books between 2000 and 2009. Reactions Free speech advocates, academics, journalists, and other critics have characterized the campaigns as part of a larger effort to use politics and legislation at the local and state level to impose on education an ideologically skewed version of the United States, its history, and its culture. The Takeaway's Melissa Harris-Perry cited discomfort with issues like gender identity as one of the common reasons for challenges, but that "this discomfort is likely imposed by adults onto young learners" who are otherwise more accepting and more likely to think outside traditional gender roles. Shauntee Burns-Simpson of the New York Public Library highlighted the issue of taking one page or one quote from a book without context and making a decision about the value of a book based on an initial reaction to that quote. Burns-Simpson also noted that banning the book does not just take away the words in the book, but the possibility for conversation about the concepts it raises. The American Library Association released a statement signed by its Executive Board and Boards of Directors of its eight divisions in response to "a dramatic uptick in book challenges and outright removal of books from libraries". Their strongly worded message condemned "a few organizations [which] have advanced the proposition that the voices of the marginalized have no place on library shelves... falsely claiming that these works are subversive, immoral, or worse [and inducing] officials to abandon constitutional principles, ignore the rule of law, and disregard individual rights to promote government censorship of library collections". A spokesperson told ABC News that in her time working with reports of book challenges, she had "never seen such a widespread effort to remove books on racial and gender diversity". A spokesperson for the National Coalition Against Censorship said the events were "damaging to all stakeholders", including teachers who must comply, learners who do not read stories that reflect the world around them, and students from the marginalized groups depicted in the stories, who learn "that their own stories and their own lives aren't fit for consumption". A number of authors whose works were banned spoke out. Some saw it as a badge of honor, while others found it distressing. Kalynn Bayron, author of Cinderella Is Dead, said "these things speak to the level of bigotry that still exists, specifically within our public education system". Kwame Alexander said some of the interest in banning books might have been avoided if advocates had more opportunities themselves as children to experience diverse perspectives. Mikki Kendall, whose book Hood Feminism was among the most challenged, said the bans are a "ridiculous publicity stunt" which would not actually stop kids from reading the books because "there's nothing more attractive to a kid than a forbidden book". Jason Reynolds, co-author of All American Boys, said the bans were more about parents "doing everything they can to shield young people from the things that scare them, not things that scare the children". Several commentators argued it is hypocritical for conservative pundits and politicians to support banning books that may make students feel uncomfortable after a period of strongly criticizing "cancel culture". In many cases, the banned books led to increased sales of those books, such as works by Jerry Craft, Toni Morrison, and Adam Rapp. The popularizing effects of banning any book, and the increased ease of access in the age of the Internet, mean the consequences of a ban are less significant than they were when books were harder to access, making it more of a ceremonial act. Some critics have argued this also makes some of the actions more about punishing educators and librarians or creating a chilling effect than limiting what students have access to. For example, proposed legislation in Iowa would allow for criminal prosecution of librarians. University of Chicago history professor Ada Palmer said that the main goal of censorship throughout history has not been "to silence or destroy books or works that already exist [but] to frighten people and discourage them from reading, buying and creating similar works in the future". Notable cases Central York School District's use of a diversity reading list to ban books In August 2020, a diversity committee in the school district for central York County, Pennsylvania, created a reading list for students and community members amid the George Floyd protests. Though it was intended as a guide for students to learn about issues of race, diversity, and culture, it was used by the school board as a list of books to target for removal a few months later. Teachers received an email about the list and the ban, prompting significant pushback. The hundreds of works on the list were largely about representation of Black and Latin American in the United States. As described by The New York Times, some parents objected to material that would "make white children feel guilty about their race or 'indoctrinate' students". Students protested, wearing black t-shirts, advocating on social media, and picketing daily before school started. Officials argued that the books were "frozen" rather than "banned" until they could be evaluated, although the books remained off of the shelves for nearly a year. A spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Education Association told the York Daily Record that "if you look at this material, it's offensive what they banned. They have banned materials from Black voices, and they've had almost a year now and they haven't proposed anything else". The school board met again to discuss the ban in September 2021, and decided to reaffirm it. Amid criticism, it reconvened shortly thereafter and reversed its decision, saying it never intended to ban the material, but rather wanted time to review it. Texas House Bill 3979 and Krause's list of 850 books Texas passed House Bill 3979 in July 2021. Known as Texas's "critical race theory law", after an academic field which became a popular target of criticism among conservative pundits, it restricts the manner and extent to which students may learn about or discuss race, racism, sex, or sexism, or the role of those concepts in American culture and history. The law, and confusion over how to enforce it, led to many book challenges. In October 2021, Texas Representative Matt Krause distributed a list to Texas school superintendents containing 850 books having to do with race, sexuality, and history which might "make students feel discomfort". Most of the books' authors are women, people of color, or LGBTQ. Krause wanted to know which school districts had the books and how much was spent on them. The list included a wide range of fiction and non-fiction bestsellers and award-winners like The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, LGBT Families by Leanne K. Currie-McGhee, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women that a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall, The Underground Guide to Teenage Sexuality: An Essential Handbook for Today's Teens and Parents by Michael J. Basso, and Amnesty International's We Are All Born Free: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Pictures. Authors on the list reacted with a mix of outrage and pride. The president of the Texas State Teachers Association called it a "witch hunt" and a "disturbing and political overreach into the classroom" which raises legal concerns. While Krause did not make his motivations or intentions clear, the Texas Tribune speculated it may have to do with House Bill 3979. The Katy Independent School District removed New Kid by Jerry Craft in October 2021 and canceled an event with the author. The graphic novel, which won the 2020 Kirkus Prize, Newbury Medal, and Coretta Scot King Award, is about a 12-year-old black boy who experiences culture shock when he enrolls at a private school. The district reacted to a petition which said the book promoted critical race theory, Marxism, and "reverse racism". The person who began the petition, who also sued the school district over a mask mandate, said she heard Craft talking about "microaggressions" in interviews, which she said indicated an ideology related to critical race theory. According to Craft, he was not even aware of critical race theory when he wrote it. After receiving national attention, a review committee decided to reinstate the book and reschedule Craft's event. In November 2021, Governor Greg Abbott publicized his investigation into pornography and obscenity accessible to kids in school libraries. Following the investigations by Krause and Abbott, a San Antonio district removed more than 400 books in December 2021. Maus removed from McMinn County Schools Maus is a nonfiction book by Art Spiegelman in which he interviews his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work is presented as a graphic novel, and it depicts groups of people as different kinds of animals. It was the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize. On January 10, 2022, the board of trustees of McMinn County Schools in Tennessee removed Maus from its schools' curriculum, expressing concern over its use in 8th grade English Language Arts classes. The decision overruled a state curriculum review that had approved the book. The board cited "tough language" and "unnecessary" profanity (eight words, including "damn"), a small drawing of a nude cat representing a woman, and mentions of murder, violence, and suicide. The board questioned its age-appropriateness and whether it aligned with the values of the community. The ban attracted criticism and international media attention the day before Holocaust Remembrance Day. Spiegelman called the decision "Orwellian" and said reading the minutes of the board meeting indicating the board was asking "Why can't they teach a nicer Holocaust?" Several elected officials, writers, journalists, librarians, and academics spoke out against it. James Blasingame of Arizona State University argued that what makes Maus disturbing is what should make any book about the Holocaust disturbing. Following publicity around the ban, sales of Maus spiked, becoming the number one best-seller on Amazon. A bookstore in Tennessee offered to give a free copy of The Complete Maus to any student who requested one, leading them to create a GoFundMe campaign to cover the demand.

Nicolau Pereira de Campos Vergueiro, better known as Senator Vergueiro (), (20 December 1778 – 17 September 1859), was a Portuguese-born Brazilian coffee farmer and politician. He was a pioneer in the implementation of free workforce in Brazil by bringing the first European immigrants to work in the Ibicaba farm, which he owned. The contract was prepared by Vergueiro himself, establishing ownership of the production and other measures, mostly of an exploitive nature. Faced with this, the immigrants working in Vergueiro's main property, the Ibicaba farm, revolted under the guidance of Thomas Davatz, a Swiss immigrant and religious leader, who instigated the immigrant workers to grow their ambition to become small or medium-sized landowners, as they imagined they would be when they had left Europe. Biography Vergueiro was born on 20 December 1778 in Vale da Porca, Portugal, to Luiz Bernardo Pereira Vergueiro and Clara Maria Borges Campos. He graduated with a degree in law from the University of Coimbra in 1801. The young man moved to Brazil in 1803 at the age of 25 and quickly entered the most important political and economic spheres in the province of São Paulo. On 2 August 1804 he married Maria Angelica de Vasconcellos, daughter of captain José de Andrade e Vasconcellos, in the Sé Cathedral. He worked as a lawyer at the São Paulo forum, a position he held until 1815. In 1807 Vergueiro acquired, in partnership with his father-in-law, a two-league sesmaria in Piracicaba, where he founded the Engenho do Limoeiro, whose first administrator was his brother João Manuel Vergueiro. Seven years later, he acquired a new sesmaria in partnership with his father-in-law. With dimensions of three by one league. Monjolinho, as it was called, was located in Campos de Araraquara and was intended for cattle raising. Some time later, Vergueiro became the sole owner of the two lands. In 1813 he was appointed councillor of the São Paulo City Council. He was a sesmarias judge until 1816, when he moved to Piracicaba, in partnership with brigadier Luís Antônio de Sousa, he acquired land in the region of Rio Claro. In 1821, on the eve of Brazil's independence, he became a member of the provisional government of the province of São Paulo. He held other positions in the provinces of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. Participating in the 1823 constituent assembly that drafted the first Brazilian constitution as a representative of the province of São Paulo, together with the brothers Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada, José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva and Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada, who was arrested after the dissolution of the assembly. He was a senator and, with the abdication of emperor Pedro I on 7 April 1831, he was elected regent for the Provisional Triumviral Regency together with Francisco de Lima e Silva and José Joaquim Carneiro de Campos, as the emperor's heir, the young Pedro II, was only 5 years old and thus could not reign. He integrated the cabinet of 13 September 1832, assuming the office of Minister and Secretary of State of the Empire's Affairs until 23 May 1833 and that of the Treasury until 14 December 1832. He held the Justice minitry in the May 22 cabinet, organized by Manuel Alves Branco, second Viscount of Caravelas and, on an interim basis, that of the Empire. He was a senator for ten consecutive terms. As a parliamentarian, he always defended liberal and anti-slavery positions. In the 1840s and 1850s, he pioneered the introduction of European immigrants to his coffee farms in Limeira and Angélica farm, named after Vergueiro's wife. From 1847 onwards, Vergueiro encouraged immigration of European families to work on his coffee farm in Limeira. He paid for the immigrants' trip but, when they arrived in Brazil, they were in debt. The debt peonage system was adopted in which they worked for free in the coffee plantations. Their expenses accumulated and could be paid after the harvests, most of the time, however, the immigrants had to take out loans with exaggerated interest rates, generating a cycle of debts. In addition, they were compelled to buy their groceries from the farm's warehouses at high prices. These circumstances soon led to a regime of semi-slavery. This led to the Ibicaba Revolt or the Revolt of the Partners, in 1856, which had international repercussions, to the point the Prussian government banned immigration to Brazil. With the failure of the peonage system, farmers began to pay a fixed amount for the immigrant's work, even a monthly salary. Wage labor was introduced in Brazil and African slavery began to deteriorate until it was legally abolished in 1888. The book entitled Memórias de um colono no Brasil, written by the former Swiss colonist of the Ibicaba Farm, Thomas Davatz, exposed the terrible working conditions of immigrants on coffee plantations. From 1870 onwards, the Brazilian government began to finance the transport and initial accommodation of immigrants. At that time, societies protecting immigration were formed in order to encourage more European immigrants to come to the country. Vergueiro died on 18 September 1859 in Rio de Janeiro. His body was buried in the São João Batista Cemetery. References Bibliography Regents of Brazil

The 2021 Lisbon local election was held on 26 September 2021 to elect the members of the Lisbon City Council. In what was the biggest surprise of the municipal elections, Carlos Moedas, the candidate of the center-right coalition led by the Social Democratic Party, managed to be elected mayor and put an end to 14 years of socialist rule. Against all expectations, the center-right managed to regain the capital by winning 34.3% of the votes and 7 councilors. Despite the victory, Carlos Moedas will have to seek understandings with the other parties represented in the City Council. The big loser of the night was Fernando Medina, candidate of the Socialist Party (which ran in alliance with LIVRE), when he lost the presidency he had led since 2015 and which had been in socialist hands since 2007. Unexpectedly, the Socialists lost almost 10% in relation to the previous elections, with Medina taking the defeat as "personal". The Unitarian Democratic Coalition presented former MEP João Ferreira again and had positive results, registering a slight electoral growth and rising to 10.5%, a result that is the best for the CDU since 2005 and that guaranteed the maintenance of the two communist councilors. The Left Bloc, which now supported Beatriz Gomes Dias as a candidate for mayor, managed to keep the seat in the municipal council, despite having registered a slight drop in the votes obtained. People-Animals-Nature, CHEGA, and Liberal Initiative failed to elect any councilor. Background In the 2017 election, the Socialist Party led by Fernando Medina, won with a comfortable advantage over opposition parties, although losing its absolute majority. The center-right wing alliance led by Assunção Cristas' CDS - Peoples Party obtained a historic result for the chamber, surpassing 20% ​​of the votes, electing 4 councilors. The Social Democratic Party, which had Teresa Leal Coelho as its candidate, had its worst result in history in Lisbon, finishing in third place, with just over 11% of the votes and 2 councilors, a far cry from the Socialists and Christian Democrats. Finally, the Unitarian Democratic Coalition obtained 9.6%, getting 2 councilors and the Left Bloc obtained its best municipal result in the capital, managing to conquer 1 councilor with 7.1% and entering in coalition with the Socialists. Electoral system Each party or coalition must present a list of candidates. The lists are closed and the seats in each municipality are apportioned according to the D'Hondt method. Unlike in national legislative elections, independent lists are allowed to run.

Final Cut is the third novel by the English S. J. Watson, published in August 2020 by Transworld Publishers under their imprint Doubleday. Location In an interview for Crime Fiction Lover, Watson reveals that "I've always loved books in which the setting feels very particular, and almost like a character in itself... I think it's a case of using the real place as a leaping off point – taking from it the things that are evocative and that lend the work the tone you're looking for, while also bending it to my own fictional needs. Robin Hood's Bay had exactly the atmosphere I wanted, but I didn't want to set the book there as I needed to take liberties with the setting and the characters." Plot Documentary filmmaker Alex travels to Blackwood Bay, a quaint former smugglers' Yorkshire village set on a rugged coast. Her task is ostensibly to chronicle the inhabitants but she has a hidden agenda to investigate the disappearance of three teenage girls. A website has been set up inviting the villagers to submit videos themselves, for Alex to moderate. Alex herself suffers from fugue state and cannot recall her childhood but remembers that she lived in Blackwood Bay as a child. The past catches up with Alex as the current teenage girls living in the village are also in danger... Reception Dipal Acharya in Evening Standard explains that Watson "attempts to navigate some complex questions raised by social media, such as how our default communities are more likely to be found online than next door, how we document everything from banal daily rituals to shocking acts of abuse on our smartphones so relentlessly and openly, the disconnect between our online and real life personas which embolden us in damaging ways, as well as how we process trauma." But Dipal concludes that "his investigation of these themes is undermined by the plot, which veers between improbable and completely implausible. As with so many books that follow successful debuts, it is also frustratingly long. Ironically, Final Cut could do with a little trim. More reviews are more positive though: Alison Flood writing in The Observer praises the novel "The reader begins to suspect the reality of Alex’s past just as she does, with Watson adroitly bringing the strands of his story together to create a disturbing journey to a shocking truth. Kirkus Reviews writes "Watson gradually turns up the heat while carefully teasing out wicked secrets...and Alex, who has her own secrets, makes an appealing, if possibly unreliable, narrator. The darkness runs deep in this skillfully plotted chiller." In Publishers Weekly, Clare Conville writes " A tight, brisk plot drives this sharp character study. Watson perfectly capture small town ennui while illustrating how corruption can hide in plain sight." References 2020 British novels English thriller novels Novels by S. J.

Ectopoglossus confusus is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Chagres Highlands of Panama, at 720 to 810 meters above sea level, where it can be mistaken for Colostethus panamansis, which is more common and also lives in the area. Its population is severely effected by the local presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a type of fungus that has devastated many amphibian species worldwide.

The Jack Paulhamus/Garby Trail is a hiking trail in north-central Pennsylvania, through portions of Sproul State Forest. It was built to connect the Donut Hole Trail and Chuck Keiper Trail. A portion of its route is concurrent with the Donut Hole Trail. The JPG is known for its significant climbing, as it features two very low points at Hyner Run and the West Branch Susquehanna River, with high ground on top of the Allegheny Plateau in between. History and route Two long-distance backpacking routes that were built in north-central Pennsylvania in the 1970s, the Donut Hole Trail and Chuck Keiper Trail, pass relatively close to each other but are separated by the deep canyon formed by the West Branch Susquehanna River. In the early 2000s, a group of students at Lock Haven University conceived the idea to design a connector trail as a class project. The students combined letters from their surnames and coined the name Garby Trail, which does not reflect an actual person or any natural feature along the route. The proposed route combined several short pre-existing trails, a walk along Pennsylvania Route 120 over the river, and a few new connecting segments. Meanwhile, longtime state forester Jack Paulhamus, who had been involved in the creation of both the Donut Hole and Chuck Keiper Trails, died in 2004. As a commemoration, his name was added to the new trail being designed to connect his two creations, so the route became known as the Jack Paulhamus/Garby Trail (JPG). The northern terminus of the JPG is at Hyner Run State Park, at a spot where the Donut Hole Trail formerly entered the park and departed to the east. In 2015, the Donut Hole Trail was extensively rerouted to the south and was added to the existing route of the JPG. Thus, for the JPG's first 5.3 miles when hiking southbound, it is now concurrent with the Donut Hole Trail. South of the state park, the combined trail climbs vigorously to the top of the Allegheny Plateau, with several significant vistas. At 5.3 miles, the Donut Hole Trail splits off and the JPG descends steeply along Huff Run and into the deep canyon formed by the West Branch Susquehanna River. The JPG reaches the level of the river at 6.7 miles, and walks along a paved side road to a junction with Pennsylvania Route 120. The JPG follows that highway's bridge over the river and then uses several driveways through private land owned by the Western Clinton Sportsman's Association. From the hollow formed by Little McCloskey Run, the JPG begins another intensive climb back to the top of the plateau once again, with several vistas over the river and canyon on the way up. The trail reaches the plateau-top at 10.8 miles and proceeds across high ground for the rest of its distance. It turns west on Grugan Hollow Road (also known as Mill Run Road) at 12.0 miles, and follows that road until ending at 13.2 miles, at a junction where the East Loop of the Chuck Keiper Trail crosses the road.

Career Frederick Learmonth joined the Royal Navy some time before 1887, being promoted from sub-lieutenant to lieutenant on 24 August of that year. In March 1900 he was posted to the survey vessel HMS Research, and on 14 July 1900 he was promoted to commander. He served in that rank for six years, being promoted to captain on 31 December 1906. Around the same time as this Learmonth received command of the survey vessel HMS Egeria, based in British Columbia. In 1907, Learmonth named the first part of the Gardner Canal Alan Reach, after Admiral Alan, Lord Gardner. Learmonth went on to name a number of locations in and around the canal while completing an extensive survey of the area, often providing names relating to Gardner and men who were serving in Egeria. He continued in command of the survey ship into the following year, surveying Zayas Island. He left the ship later on in 1909. As a vice-admiral Learmonth served as Hydrographer of the Navy from 1919 to 1924.
