Carroll City-Mount Olivet Cemetery is a historic site located in Carroll, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022. History Carroll City, as Carroll was originally known, established a cemetery southeast of the central business district and south of the railroad tracks in the early 1870s. It was maintained by the local chapter of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and a part-time city employee. Little else is known about the cemetery's early years. An orchard between the city and Catholic cemeteries was acquired by the city in 1933 for use by the city cemetery. The following year Ray Wyrick, a Des Moines landscape engineer, presented a plan to redevelop the cemetery. In addition to design work and plantings, the plan included updating the cemetery's rules and regulations to make it self-supporting. He was hired by the city to carry-out the work over five years. Workers were provided through the Works Progress Administration (WPA). In the mid-1870s St. Joseph's was established as the first Catholic parish in Carroll. They established a parish cemetery south of the city cemetery in 1876. In 1885, Saints Peter and Paul Parish was created for German speaking Catholics. They established their own cemetery south of St. Joseph Cemetery the following year. It was expanded to the west in 1927. St. Joseph and Saints Peter and Paul Cemeteries became known as the Catholic Cemetery of Carroll. In 1954, they merged and were renamed Mount Olivet Cemetery. In 1970, the cemetery's deed was transferred to the City of Carroll. Features The City Cemetery features a stone wall capped with an wrought iron fence that was built by the WPA in 1936. The gates were created by Gate City Iron Works of Des Moines. In the Mount Olivet section of the cemetery is a "Crucifixion group" of statues. The original group of statues of the Virgin Mary, John the Apostle, and the crucified Christ was erected in the early 1900s. In the early 1960s a new marble cross and altar were added to the original statues. The stone Anneberg family mausoleum, the only one in the cemetery, was built in 1927. Three above-ground crypts were added between 1955 and 2014. There are also war memorials from the American Civil War onward. A variety of grave marker styles are employed throughout the cemetery. Obelisks are prominent in Section 1 of the original City Cemetery. Large die, base, and cap granite and marble markers are found in the older sections of the cemetery. Pedestal markers are located in the older sections of both cemeteries. In the Catholic cemetery, the pedestal markers are often capped with a cross. In other sections they are capped with vaulted tops, urns, books, or figures. Some markers have inscriptions in German. There are markers that are stone carved to look like logs or tree trunks. There are also stone benches and metal crosses. Two grave markers in the Catholic section incorporate concrete kneelers. Three family plots are marked with large boulders with metal plaques. Other markers include "chest tombs, cruciforms, round columns or pillars, bolsters (stone cylinders) on footings; four polished granite ledger slabs, and one ledger slab covered with tiles." The markers in the Potter's field sections are simple, horizontal stone markers.

The Wetter House was a residence in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Originally built in 1822, it was expanded and remodeled in 1857 for Augustus Wetter, a Savannah architect and businessman. Its demolition in 1950 was an impetus for the formation of the Historic Savannah Foundation in 1955. House The house was at 425 West Oglethorpe Avenue, at its junction with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; its original address was 215 South Broad Street. It was originally built as a three-storey stucco building for Anthony Barclay, and from 1837 was owned by Margaret Telfair. Augustus Wetter, who acquired it in 1857 on his marriage to Alberta Telfair, had it remodeled and added cast iron balconies by Wood & Perot of Philadelphia, which included 50 medallions portraying poets, artists, and statesmen. The ironwork cost $100,000 and had been created for the Georgia state capitol at Milledgeville, but was reportedly rejected as too expensive. In 1862, during the Civil War, the house was briefly the headquarters of Confederate Army general Robert E. Lee, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis was a friend of Wetter's and a frequent visitor. The final use of the building was by the Savannah Female Asylum and Orphanage. In 1950, a Chevrolet dealership built a new showroom across the street from the house, bought it, and demolished it to make use of the site. Some interior decoration, such as mantlepieces, was sold, and the decorative ironwork was donated to the orphanage to sell for fundraising. Only a section of wall survives from the Wetter House. Its demolition, along with that of the City Market, sparked the formation of the Historic Savannah Foundation in 1955. The site is now within the Savannah Historic District, which was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1966. Augustus Wetter Augustus Peter Wetter was born in Mentz, Germany, in 1829. He emigrated to the United States, arriving in Savannah before the Civil War. He worked as a civil engineer under General Jeremy Francis Gilmer and was also a captain of the DeKalb Riflemen, part of the Chatham Artillery. On April 21, 1857, Wetter married Sarah Alberta Cobb Telfair (April 5, 1834 – 1866), daughter of Pierce Cobb and Mary Eliza Telfair. She had previously, while a minor, married Charles S. Arnold, and the couple had divorced after a few years. In 1859, Wetter purchased the Sharon Plantation, just outside Savannah on land bounded by Louisville Road and the Ogeechee Canal. In November 1870, with Eugene Kelly and six others, he was a founding member of the Southern Bank of the State of Georgia. Augustus and Alberta Wetter had four children, sons Edward and Conrad and daughters Mary ("Meta") Martha and Louisa Alberta. Alberta Wetter died on July 28, 1866, aged around 32. Her great-aunt Mary Telfair died in 1875, bequeathing $21,000 to the Wetters' daughters via a trust. Wetter challenged the will in court, claiming that she was "mentally incompetent" and suffering from monomania to the detriment of others, and demanding $10 million for his children from the estate. His case reached the Supreme Court but failed. In the mid-to-late 1870s, Wetter's financial situation declined; his mortgage was foreclosed in December 1877. On September 30, 1878, his daughter Meta died at the age of 17. He died on September 8, 1882, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at the home of one of his children. He was aged around 53. His funeral took place on September 12 at Savannah's Independent Presbyterian Church, and he was interred at the Sharon Plantation. 1934 photographs References External links 1822 establishments in the United States 1950 disestablishments in the United States Houses in Savannah, Georgia Houses completed in 1822 Former houses in the United States Demolished buildings and structures in Georgia (U.S. state)
Jennifer Gay Bishop (16 December 1933 – 17 January 2022), known by her stage name Jennifer Toye, was a British operatic soprano best known for performances with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in the 1950s and 1960s, including as Josephine in H.M.S. Pinafore, Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance and Yum-Yum in The Mikado. She then performed in musical theatre and opera with other companies, and after retiring from the stage in the 1970s, operated a hardwood joinery business. Life and career Toye was born in Holywell, Flintshire, in North Wales, the daughter of the professional singer Eleanor Toye and her husband, Joseph Richard Bishop, a lawyer. She had a brother, Francis. Her maternal uncles included Francis and Geoffrey Toye; her use of her mother's family name as a stage name connected her with her uncles' established musical careers. She was educated at Bon Sauveur Convent, Anglesey, and studied vocal music at the British Institute of Florence, which was at the time under the direction of her uncle Francis. In September 1953, having performed with amateur companies in North Wales, Toye joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, of which her uncle Geoffrey had been musical director in the 1920s. In the 1954–55 season she was given the small roles of Ada and Chloe in Princess Ida. In 1957 she sang the Plaintiff in Trial by Jury, Sacharissa in Princess Ida and Kate in The Yeomen of the Guard, and added Casilda in The Gondoliers the following season. In May 1960 Toye was promoted to principal soprano and took on the roles of Josephine in H.M.S. Pinafore, Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance, Lady Ella in Patience and Elsie Maynard in The Yeomen of the Guard. The following season she added Yum-Yum in The Mikado, Lady Psyche in Princess Ida, and Celia in Iolanthe. She also made occasional appearances as Phyllis in Iolanthe and Zorah in Ruddigore during the 1963–64 season. She continued to perform with D'Oyly Carte until 1965. Having joined the company for experience, she told a press reporter that she felt it time to move on: "I can't pretend I'm here for experience any more … I'm not tired of it at all, but if I'm ever to get any other experience the time is now". During her time with the D'Oyly Carte, Toye took part in two tours of North America. During the second tour she married a flautist in April 1965. While with the company she also took part in concert performances ranging from Bach's St John Passion to Gilbert and Sullivan miscellanies with D'Oyly Carte colleagues. After leaving D'Oyly Carte, Toye appeared on a cruise ship for nine months and on stage in Lock Up Your Daughters in York, on television with Arthur Askey and the Fol-de-Rols, and in pantomime in the title role in Cinderella, and as the Empress in Aladdin. In the early 1970s she was a member of the chorus of Sadler's Wells Opera (later English National Opera) company, where she sang in a wide range of operas by composers from Monteverdi to Wagner. She left that company in the mid-1970s to care for her father during his final illness. In 1979, she married Michael Rees, a business executive; they settled in Kingston-Upon-Thames, where they operated a bespoke hardwood joinery business for the next 30 years. Toye died on 17 January 2022, at the age of 88. Recordings On recordings made by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, Toye performs as Peep-Bo in the 1957 Mikado, as Celia in the 1960 Iolanthe, as Casilda in the 1961 Gondoliers and as Lady Ella in the 1961 Patience. She also voices Zorah in the 1967 Halas and Batchelor animated film of Ruddigore.

Merci Miles! Live at Vienne is a live album by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, released on Rhino and Warner Records in 2021. It was recorded in 1991 at the Jazz à Vienne festival. The album was released as part of Rhino's celebration of Black Music Month. Recording The album was recorded at the Théâtre antique de Vienne on July 1, 1991, the opening night of the Jazz à Vienne festival. The set included interpretations of songs by pop musicians Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, and Prince. Davis died less than three months later, making this one of his final live performances. Critical reception Reviews for the album have been largely positive. Writing for AllMusic, Thom Jurek noted "While none of this music is revelatory, it is intuitive and energetic," and described Davis's playing as "surprisingly muscular" despite the proximity to his death. Tom Moon considered it a quality late-era performance in Davis's career, writing "Where some late Davis performances tended to wander, this one is all show-biz discipline" in his JazzTimes review. In All About Jazz, Ian Patterson noted problems with the sound quality and mixing, but compared Davis's "brooding, melancholy and quite gorgeous" phrasing positively to his performance on Ascenseur pour l'échafaud.

Koli is a caste of India and Pakistan which is mostly found in the Indian States of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Sindh province of Pakistan. Here are a series of revolts of Koli caste in inhebited areas. British Indian Empire Kheda of Gujarat At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Kolis posed a serious "law and order" problem for the new government of East India Company, British officials to declare that kolis are one of the most "turbulent, predatory tribes in India. Many Kolis resided in villages outside the EIC's territorial jurisdiction but viewed the imposition of new legislation and colonization in the territory as a direct challenge to established local customs. Koli chieftains and their peasant supporters were threatened by the British government settling the agricultural plains and establishing new modes of governance in the area. In protest, some Koli zamidars filed petitions in the Court (Adalat) in Kheda, stating that, according to local custom, the government had no authority over Kolis. Other chieftains simply ignored the authority of the EIC and organized peasant raids into towns and villages in British territory, claiming a customary right to plunder villages as a form of their own tax collection, or a levy called giras. The district magistrate responded by stating such actions were "evil" and perpetuated by Koli chieftains. By 1808, Koli chieftains had begun organizing raids into towns and villages in the territory controlled by the EIC, to steal crops and other possessions. The town of Dholka and its neighboring villages became favorite targets. Dholka was in the northern borderlands of British territory, adjacent to land controlled by the chieftains. Groups of armed kolis, numbering between fifty and a hundred Kolis, easily entered Dholka and returned to their respective villages without difficulty. British officials lacked the manpower and local knowledge of the terrain to capture these men. However, there were instances when a chieftain was arrested and jailed for leading attacks on Dholka, as in the case of Bachur Khokani. On February 20, 1808, within a few days of Khokani's capture, a group of fifty Kolis stormed the jail and released their leader. Policemen were killed and six were wounded in the battle, and apparently, on the very same night, Khokani and his men organized another raid on the town. In an attempt to prevent further raids on Dholka, Kheda's magistrate, R. Holford, coordinated a plan that required local elites within the EIC's control to capture the raiders. Holford recognized the limitations of the EIC's power to arrest individuals residing outside its control, but he believed that British officials could force the elites who had villages within their legal jurisdiction to cooperate. The outcome of the official strategy had some success: in 1810, large numbers of Kolis had been arrested and convicted of crimes against the East India Company. Judge H. W. Diggle recommended that the prisoners to be transported to the British colony the Prince of Wales Island (for merly called Penang), or to a distant jail, for a minimum of seven years. It was argued that such an extreme measure would "overawe" and "check the daring and ferocious nature" of Kolis while simultaneously serving as a deterrent for others. However, as in the case of Bachur Khokani, a group of four hundred to five hundred armed men descended upon the jail at Kheda and released the imprisoned Kolis. Most of the prisoners dispersed into areas outside of British jurisdiction and were saved just days before being transported to the Prince of Wales Island. The raids continued in Dholka, and colonial officials urged the EIC to increase the size of the police force in Kheda. In addition, officials requested the support of soldiers from neighboring Baroda State, who were supposed to have local intelligence networks in the border lands that could be used for recapturing the convicted Kolis and their accomplices. But the outcome of using greater force had a minimal impact on what had developed into a serious law and order problem for the EIC. Colonial officials were not able to prevent Koli rebels. Earlier attempts to press chieftains to cooperate in preventing attacks on gov ernment towns and villages had had limited results. In 1824, A. Crawford, the district collector of neighboring Ahmedabad, suggested that a new strategy be adopted, including forcibly taking the possessions of Koli chieftains suspected of participating in the attacks or simply having any information about them. In addition, Crawford introduced the idea of using the military to destroy villages where Koli chieftains were hiding. This strategy marked an important departure from the policy of not entering areas that lay outside the jurisdiction of the EIC with the intention of using military force to capture chieftains or other raiders. However, the idea of completely destroying villages as a way to create "future peaceable conduct" did not prevent Kolis from challenging the authority and legitimacy of the EIC, and certainly it did not eliminate the armed excursions into British-controlled territory. In fact, it further intensified the demands of those Kolis who had been claiming that their customs and privileges were being violated by colonial officials. The raids continued through the 1830s with some regularity. Crawford to British officials, "Some special regulations should be made about the Kolis. No measures of ordinary severity have any effect. We never hear of a reformed Koli, or of one whose mode of life places him beyond suspicion. All seem alike, rich and poor, those whose necessities afford them an excuse for crime and those whose condition places them out of the reach of distress, are alike ready on the first opportunity to plunder. But by the 1840s, the application of colonial policies and the use of military force led to the subsidence of Koli attacks in British-controlled territory. Officials argued that the character of all Kolis-chieftains and peasants had improved, as many kolis had taken up settled agriculture and become hardworking and peaceable. Despite this acknowledgment of the transformation among the Kolis, the early-nineteenth-century encounters continued to influence the implementation of official policies in the district. In begin of 1857 and 1858, the government imposed regulations restricting Kolis from carrying weapons in Kheda district but kolis again raised. Khanpur of Gujarat In July 1857, the Kolis of Maliwad clan in Khanpur of Lunavada State challenged the British rule under their leader Surajmal after death of surajmal, kolis again raised and attacked the British troops under new koli chieftain Jivabhai Thakor of Khanpur. In December 1857, Captain Buckle attacked the Khanpur and captured some of the rebels and rest escaped to nearby hills and forests. They gathered again and attacked the British troops with more vigour. Lt. Morey, Jamadar Nurmohmad, Sheikh Cheda and Emamuddin pursued the Kolis and killed some of them. Then the Kolis fled to the bushes and ravines of the river. The two kolis were shot by the order of Buckle but British army also lost three horsemen. The koli prisoners of Khanpur were transported to life, while non-koli prisoners of Khanpur were released after they witnessed the execution of their koli chieftain. The Kolis paid a huge price for their resistance to British rule. They were not only defeated in battle and punished for having dared to resist. but, in the aftermath, these communities were marginalized by the rest of society as outlaws. Being arms-bearing community, they too were disarmed in early 1858 and also forced to practise agriculture. A majority of kolis were unable to adapt the lifestyle and norms of settled agriculture and were forced to give way to agriculturalist communities like Kanbi or Patidar in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Chandap of Gujarat In September 1857, Kolis of Chandap (Chandup) raised against British rule under Koli chieftain Nathaji who led the 2000 kolis of Angar, Dubbora and Pratabpur in Mahi Kantha. the Nathaji and Yamaji was Koli brothers, rulers of Chandap and were tributary to Gaikwad of Baroda and Rao of Idar. On the 16th September, 1857, the Maharaja Gaekwad of Baroda State issued a proclamation not to rise to the people of Chandap under the Mahikantha agency and posted the 10 horsemen but Nathaji resisted the posting of horsemen so the kolis assembled together instant and attacked the Thana of that place in which a sowar of the Gaekwad Government was killed and two wounded and property plundered. The rising of Kolis affected the law and order situation in Vijapur, Kheralu and Vadnagar Taluqas of Baroda. At the end of year, koli rebellion was crushed by the combined forces of Baroda State and British troops who destroyed the Chandap village. The kolis with stiff attitude under Nathaji continued their resistance from the hills. Peth or Peint of Maharashtra In December 1857, Nashik district was effected by the Indian independence movement and the Peint Jagir became centre of rebellious activities. The rebel Kolis plundered the Harsol market on the sixth of December and captured the Mamlatdar. From there they attacked Peint where Koli rebels numbering about 2,000 captured the Lieutenant Glasspool and his 30 officers. The Koli Raja Bhagvantrao was suspected and arrested by British government. He was also a "correspondent" of Nanasaheb Peshwa. After a trial, koli king and fifteen officials were sentenced and hanged on 28 December 1857. In response, the kolis attacked at the court in Peint and then went to the Raja to pay their respects to him. Kolis plundered the treasury of Dharampur State, a comrade state of British rule. The Thane police then seized two of the leading men in the gang who plundered the treasury in the Dharampoor Raja's territory. there was resistance and one of the policemen was shot by an arrow through the chest and one of the insurgents received a bayonet-wound in the stomach. British official Mr. Boswell started disarming the kolis and suggested that a strong party of police be posted at Peint to guard the treasury and prevent the further disturbances. Later it came out that the rising of the Kolis was planned five or six weeks ago by the late Raja and the Dewan of Peint and the Rani who lived in Nashik. Kolis disliked the Disarming Act and resisted the government. On the hearing that the troops were approaching to peint, kolis withdrew to the jungle in the neighbourhood. On Thursday, the Lieutenant Glasspool arrived with troops and started operations against the insurgents. But his troops being too weak to go out and attack the Kolis in the jungle and at the same time to defend the court and the town, Lieutenant Glasspool could not take any step for nearly a week. But the glasspool was joined by Captain Nuttall's forces coming from Trimbak. On the arrival of this new force, Kolis retreated to the south. They played hide and seek for a few days. Occasional fights took place. the Kolis lacked of weapons so they dispersed and hid themselves in different villages. They were gradually traced out and caught. Many of them had migrated to the State of Dharampur where the Raja's forces caught them and handed them over to the Government officials. All the insurgents having been apprehended the rising was ultimately put down. The property of the late Raja was ordered to be annexed in British India and the revenue of his villages was ordered to be collected for Government. Surat of Gujarat During the Quit India Movement of Mahatma Gandhi in 1942, A large number of 3,000 Koli cultivators from Matwad, Karadi, Machhad and Kothmadi in Surat District fought against British soldiers at Matwad with lathis and dharias on 21 August 1942. In this fight, four persons including one policeman died. The kolis also snatched away four police muskets and two bayonets. Kolis smashed up the Jalalpore Railway Station, removed the Rails and burnt down the post office. After this, situation in the neighbouring villages of Borsad, Anand and Thasra taluqas became so aggravated that British troops was marched through the villages between 22 and 24 August 1942. Mughal Empire the rebellion was the imposition of land tax (Jaziya) by Sultan Aurangzeb. The Koli Zamidars had taken up arms against the Sultan Aurangzeb under the leadership of Khemirao Sarnaik, as well as with the sympathy of Shivaji Maharaj as it was a great benefit to Shivaji. Khemrao assembled all the Koli naiks and promised that he would get rid of Mughal rule in a single rise. Aurangzeb sent the Mughal army from the hilly areas to suppress the Koli rebellion, but the battle was very fierce in which thousands of Kolis were killed and the Mughal soldiers also. The Koli rebellion shook Aurangzeb. Sarnaik applied for help from Shivaji but shivaji was unable to help kolis because of their political matters and sarnaik was refused. The Khemirao Sarnaik fighting in this battle was killed by mughal commander nerrulaa, but the Koli rebellion was so intense that Aurangzeb got compelled to think. after the rebellion was crushed, the kolis were treated with kindness by Aurangzeb and than kolis achieve the high reputation under Peshwa for their daring and taking hill forts such as Kanhoji Angre and Tanaji Malusare. Junagadh of Gujarat Koli rebellion in Junagarh raised by Mansa Khant Koli during time of Nawab Sher Khan the viceroy of Junagarh in Mughal Empire. He was against Mughal Rule, Made Uparkot Fort his centre. He made a series of raids in surrounding villages and cities. Nawab was unsuccessful to control the rebellion. Mansa Khant occupied the Uparkot for thirteen months and make numerous raids mostly in countryside. Nawab started campaign against Khant. Nawab was assisted by king of Gondal State Thakur Sahib Haloji Jadeja and Arab Jamadar Sheikh Abdullah Zubeidi. The combined forces defeated the Khant and captured Uparkot and burnt down the rebellion. Maratha Empire In 1760, the peace of Peshwa government was broken by a rising of Kolis under their Naik Javji Bamble. Javji with drew to the hills and organised a series of gang robberies, causing widespread terror and misery throughout the country. For twenty years he held out bravely, defeating and killing the generals the Peshwa's Government sent against him. At last he was so hotly pursued that, on the advice of Dhondo Gopal, the Peshwa's governor at Nasik, he surrendered all his forts to Tukoji Holkar and, through Holkar's influence, was pardoned and placed in military and police charge of a district of sixty villages with powers of life and death outlaws. In 1798, a fresh disturbance took place among the Kolis. The leader of this outbreak was Ramji Naik Bhangria, who was an abler and more daring man than his prede cessors, and succeeded in baffling all the efforts of the Government officers to seize him. As force seemed hopeless, the Government offered Ramji a pardon and gave him an important police post. In 1763, the Peshwa Raghunathrao had appointed Abha Purandare who was an anti koli as Sarnaik, due to which the Chivhe Kolis revolted against the Peshwa and captured Purandar and Sinhagad forts because the Kolis did not like Abha Purandare, so Abha removed the Kolis from the fortification and posted new Kiledars, due to which the Kolis attacked and captured the forts on 7 May 1764. Five days later, Rudramal fort was also captured and presented a challenge to the Prime Minister of the Maratha Empire, Peshwa Raghunathrao. A few days later the Peshwa came to the fort to worship the deity inside the Purandar fort but the Peshwa got caught up by the Kolis. The Kolis looted all the belongings and weapons of the Peshwa and took him prisoner but released after some time. After this the Kolis started collecting revenue from the surrounding area. After this, the chief of the Kolis, Kondaji Chivhe, sent a letter to the Peshwa, in which it was written 'What now sir, what is the condition, how is the government doing, be in fun'. After reading this letter, the Peshwa felt a bit humiliated and in a fit of rage ordered the Maratha army to attack but the army could not do anything because the Kolis himselves were Subedar and had fortified the forts well and the Peshwa faced failure. the humiliated Peshwa started taking the Kolis of Chivhe clan as captive. All those Chivhe kolis who were living in the territory of Peshwa were declared as rebels and started making captives. After this the Chivhe Kolis sent a letter to Madhavrao and explained whole matter, after this the Kolis handed over the forts to Madhavrao and the Chivahe Kolis were again handed over the fortifications. In the year 1776, a large number of the Shelkande Kolis of Otur village, raised against Peshwa because of their hereditary land rights and as the Peshwa refused to do them. Kolis assembled a revolutionary army of Shelkande and Kokate Kolis and commenced plundering the surrounding villages and doing other violent activities in the hope of obtaining redress. In response, The Peshwa sent Maratha troops from Pune against rebel kolis and surprised them, killed and wounded many of them. The Koli leaders were consequently forced to disperse the rebels. The government officers came to know that Sattu Shelkande, chief of the insurgents, was hiding in the neighboring jungle. The better to ensure this, they obliged him to enter into the Sunkli zamin or chain security (one Patil going security for two or three cultivators, another Patil for five or six poorer Patils, and a Deshmukh for a number of the Patils). Hearing of the measures the government officers were adopting, moved off to another place; this was partly for their own safety, and partly to save their friends from being harassed and punished for not fulfilling their promise of apprehending them. After the troops retired from the jungles, the Kolis recommenced their operations. Several seasons were passed in this way; however when Javji Bamble was appointed as Mansabdar of Rajur he was ordered by Peshwa to prevent the rebellious activities by rebels. Kolis did not wish to fight with Bumble because he was also a Koli by caste. Kolis remained quiet for of four years but Kolis went again to the jungles because his hereditary rights have not been fulfilled. The troops employed against the Shelkande Kolis and again forced them to disperse and the chiefs went to Aurangabad. Kolis had taken an oath that they would cut off the head of Patil of Otur, unless Peshwa afforded them redress. Nana Phadnavis who was minister in Maratha Empire declared that he would not pardon the Kolis again, as they were such a turbulent race and as no faith could be reposed in them. Nana Fadnavis detached few Brahmins disguised as Gusai, who gained information of the hiding place of Kolis and a detachment that marched to apprehend them was so fortunate as to bring them all prisoners to Junnar, where the five Kolis were executed. Balwantrao, brother-in-law to Nana Fadnavis, was subedar of the district at the time, and it is asserted Balwantrao became very unhappy after the execution of these kolis. Therefore, in the hope of reestablishing the happiness that he had enjoyed, he erected a temple near river in Junnar, in which was placed as the object of worship a Punah Lingh, or five stones representing the five Kolis who were executed.

The Carpenter Building, historically the Carpenter Hotel or Hotel Carpenter and known colloquially as The Carpenter, is a historic building at 221 South Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Originally serving as a hotel from 1912 to 1966, it is now used for retail and apartment space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. History As one of the earliest hotels in Sioux Falls, the Carpenter Hotel contributed significantly to the city's early commercial growth. The nearby wooden Cataract Hotel was by this time notorious for having burned down twice by 1912, and new accommodations were needed. Frances G. Carpenter decided to build a new hotel out of sturdier material; indeed, early advertisements stressed that it was fireproof. Joseph Schwartz, who designed several other buildings in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area, was hired to design the hotel. The total cost of construction was $250,000. After its opening on October 15, 1912, the hotel became very successful, accommodating prominent visitors and hosting frequent events in its ground-floor dining room and ballroom. Notable guests during this period included Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Dorsey, Bob Hope, and Benny Goodman. The Sioux Falls KSOO radio station had its first office in the hotel from 1926 to 1937. Local architect Harold Spitznagel was hired to remodel the hotel in 1940. Sheraton Hotels and Resorts acquired the hotel in 1956 and carried out major renovations. However, in 1966, Sheraton sold the building to Nettleton College, a local business school, for use as a dormitory; during this period, it was named Nettleton Manor. In 1983, it was sold to a private owner and was converted into retail and office spaces. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1986, due to its history as a commercial center and its early 20th century architectural integrity. Today, the building hosts several retail shops and the upper floors have been converted into apartments. The ballroom is used for special occasions. Architecture The six-story Carpenter Building is a simple rectangular building in the Early Commercial style, later remodeled into a Moderne influence. It is built out of brown bricks and concrete and sits on a stone foundation. The cornice, which sits just below the sandstone parapet, is made out of pressed tin molded into scrolls. Decorative brickwork and sandstone inclusions span the building's front façade. Sandstone belts, some set with box decorations, surround the windows and divide the first three floors. A smaller, three-story addition sits on the north side of the main building and is styled in a similar fashion. Much of the interior is the result of Harold Spitznagel's extensive remodel in 1940 and involves elements of early Moderne architecture. The main lobby and staircase are encased in marble, and the lobby bathroom is decorated in its original green Vitrolight.

Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters is the second solo studio album by Mick Karn, released in February 1987. It peaked at number 89 on the UK Albums Chart. Release and reception After the release of his debut solo album Titles, Karn wanted to prove that he was a composer and more than just a bass player. Therefore, on Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters, there isn't much bass guitar. However, he later thought there should have been more bass on the album and described it as the weakest album he made. The album features two of his former Japan bandmates, David Sylvian and Steve Jansen. Sylvian provides vocals on "Buoy" and "When Love Walks In", which were two of the three songs that feature vocals on the album (with the other being "Answer" which features a choir and ensemble). Sylvian also co-wrote these two songs and also provided additional keyboards on "Land". Jansen co-produced the album with Karn as well as playing it as writing "Land". "Buoy" was released as a single in January 1987. It featured "Dreams of Reason" as the B-side and "Language of Ritual" as the second 12-inch single B-side. The single peaked at number 63 on the UK Singles Chart. Reviewing for New Musical Express, Len Brown was "far from satisfied" with the album, describing it as "by and large an instrumental work; a neo-classical affair; a movie soundtrack in need of images or at least explanations", with several songs "really [amounting] to unaffecting, repetitive ramblings, lacking focus or real direction". However, he did describe "Buoy" as "one clear moment of beauty" that "towers above everything else" on the album. Carole Linfield for Music Week wrote that the album "does touch briefly on the esoteric beauty of Karn's former group Japan", but that the album "though both acceptable and professional, remains firmly planted in the ambient section. Which is no mean feat, but it's failing is really in the fact that the best track by far is the single".

The Fountain of the Genius of Fieravecchia is a historic fountain located in Piazza Rivoluzione (formerly Fieravecchia) in the ancient quarter of Kalsa in the historic center of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. The statue of the Genius of Palermo, depicting a symbol of city had been installed here in the 17th-century, but removed by the Bourbon administration after the Sicilian revolution of 1848, but after the liberation of Sicily by Garibaldi in 1860, the fountain and statue, which had become a patriotic symbol, were reunited, and the piazza renamed. The now Piazza Rivoluzione is a small square at the intersection of Via Aragona, Via Schiavuzzo, Via Piazza Teatro Santa Cecilia, Via Divisi, and Via Garibaldi. It borders on the church of San Carlo dei Milanesi and one block east of both the Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi and the Regio Teatro Santa Cecilia. There are over half a dozen stone monuments depicting the Genius of Palermo in the city, including another fountain at Villa Giulia. This statue and fountain were installed by Luigi Moncada, Prince of Paterno and Duke of Montalto. The marble font had previously been in the port region, next to a monastery of Discalced Mercederians. The piazza itself was known since the early 13th century as Fieravecchia, and used to host a busy marketplace. Today it is surrounded by restaurants and bars. The statue is placed atop a mossy mountain. The statue is a sitting impassive king with a crown, allowing a large snake to feed from his breast. At the base of the fountain, a plaque reads: This marble/ feared symbol of liberty / removed from the eyes of the people/ by the restless tyranny/ the victorious people restored. Against the right flank of the church of San Carlo, facing the piazza, a marble plaque reads:''In this square that at the dawn of the assigned day saw the insurgents gather around the improvised tricolor and were the first to proclaim the freedom and democratic constitutions coveted by the peoples. Today celebrating the 1st centenary of January 12, 1848, the people of Palermo welcome and consecrate the vow of a world that, after the hardest labor, yearns to join together in pacts of more freedom.

President Chure-Terai Madhesh Conservation Area Program is one of the National Pride Projects initiated by the Government of Nepal. The aim of the program is to conserve the natural resources of Chure region, which occupies 12.78% of Nepal, by sustainable management and promotion of ecological services. The program was launched after the 1st Nepalese Constituent Assembly in 2067/68 BS under the Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation. Background The Chure region is considered as a fragile mountain range in the Himalayas because of its young age. This region is a major source of water, ecology, and biodiversity. Sometimes, this region is also referred to as the water tower because the Terai region, where millions of people reside, depends directly on the water supplied by this region. Recently, the rivers in this region started to dry which possibly due to mass extraction of sand and boulders for construction works. Thus, to protect the region, a program was initiated with focus to reduce the possible damage by climate change and natural disasters. This is supposed to be done by implementing sustainable management of natural resources such as land, water, vegetation and biodiversity in the Chure area of Terai region. The program also focuses on water-borne disasters. In addition, the program works with the community to increase access to firewood and fuel resources to reduce the impact in the environment. Master plan The project is managed by a committee formed in 2014, which has prepared a 20 years Master Plan that contains various sub-projects.These projects are funded by Nepal government and some international organizations. The study by the committee has identified 164 rivers in 36 districts in the Chure region. In 2021, government allocated NPR 1.91 billion for the project. The master plan has 10 medium terms and 20 long term projects. The major work under the master plan includes integration of river, construction of embankment and green belt, prevention of soil erosion, planting in the encroached forest area, recharging of aquifers. Sub-projects Conservation of Nadiman lake in Sarlahi district. The lake was protected by the program. To make it sustainable, the fee collected from the visitors is reutilized for the conservation.

Panawathi Girl is an Australian musical by David Milroy. Set in the late 1960s, the musical concerns a young Aboriginal woman Molly Chubb returning from university studies in Perth to Chubb Springs, her small country hometown in the northwest of Western Australia, to connect with her family and culture. Productions A earlier version of the work titled Rodeo Moon was workshopped at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 2015. Following a short season in Bunbury, Panawathi Girl was performed at His Majesty's Theatre in Perth from 8–13 February 2022, presented by Yirra Yaakin and the Perth Festival. The cast included Lila McGuire (Molly), Peter Docker (Chubb), Chris Isaacs (Ron), Grace Chow (Beth), Manuao TeAotonga (JoJo), Angelica Lockyer (Pansy), Wimiya Woodley (Billy), Teresa Rose (Ada), Gus Noakes (Knuckles), Luke Hewitt (Gough Whitlam), Geoff Kelso (John Gorton), Nadia Martich and Maitland Schnaars.

Reception Panawathi Girl received very favourable critical reception. The Guardian concluded that "brimming with heart and humour, Panawathi Girl is a wildly entertaining glimpse into an era of great optimism and change, prompting us to consider how far, or how little, we’ve come in the last 50 years". Limelight, in a five-star review, noted that "it occupies the same artistic space as Jimmy Chi’s musicals Bran Nue Dae and Corrugation Road and there is every reason to assume that Panawathi Girl will become a great classic".

David Alfred Boehm (February 6, 1914 – February 6, 2000) was an American publisher known for founding Sterling Publishing and popularizing the Guinness World Records in the United States. Biography Boehm was born in Manhattan, attended George Washington High School and graduated from Columbia University in 1934, where he studied sociology and edited the Columbia Daily Spectator. After graduation, Boehm worked for a number of publishers including McGraw-Hill Book Company, Cupples & Leon. In 1949, Boehm founded Sterling Publishing in a telephone booth in the Hotel Pennsylvania. His first books were a series of how-to books on subjects such as stamp collecting and coin collecting. In 1956, after discovering 30,000 copies of The Guinness Book of Superlatives on the shelves of a Boston warehouse, Boehm rushed to secure publishing rights from Arthur Guinness Son & Co. of the magazine in the United States in return for a percentage of the sales. He also renamed it The Guinness Book of World Records and added in baseball records to appeal to the American audience. In 1961, Boehm secured rights to publish a separate American version of the Guinness World Records, with sales rising to two to three million copies a year during the 1970s. Boehm began to license merchandise spinoffs in the 1980s as the series gained popularity, resulting in a series of legal fights that led to Guinness's buying back the license for $8 million in 1989. He made regular appearances on the game show The Guinness Game as a judge of live attempts to break world records. Boehm retired from the publisher in 1980 and died in his home on February 6, 2000, in New York City.

Ghosts of the Ozarks is a 2021 independent mystery/science fiction thriller. It was directed by Matt Glass and Jordan Wayne Long. The film stars Thomas Hobson, Tara Perry, Phil Morris, Angela Bettis, Erick Rowan (credited as Joseph Ruud), Tim Blake Nelson, and David Arquette. The story takes place in post-Civil War Arkansas, around 1866. A young Black doctor, James "Doc" McCune (Hobson), is mysteriously summoned by his uncle, Matthew McCune (Morris), to Norfork, a remote fortress town in the Ozark Mountains which appears to be a bi-racial utopian paradise. The nephew is to become the new town physician. However, the wooden-walled town is filled with secrets and ominous forebodings, and "Doc" McCune becomes suspicious about the true nature of the colony. His uncle Matthew appears to be in charge of the population, but the basis of his leadership is not readily apparent. Matthew instructs his nephew that everyone in the town, regardless of their job, knows their "purpose," and the uncle dissuades "Doc" from being too curious. The forest outside Norfork's walls is populated by menacing, supernatural presences (the "ghosts"), who attack townspeople who venture outside the citadel at night; before the attacks take place, the forest is enveloped in a creeping red mist. When "Doc" McCune tracks down the previous town doctor, a woman named Annie (Perry), who lives in a house in the forest with her mute brother, William (Rowan), and asks for help in setting up his medical clinic, she is friendly but uncooperative, which heightens the young doctor's suspicions about the town. She also assures the doctor that she and her brother do not fear the "ghosts." Production team Many of the actors in the film, as well as the directors, were involved with the producing, writing, and scoring. The story was written by Jordan Wayne Long and Tara Perry. The soundtrack was composed by Matt Glass. The film was produced by Long, Perry, Glass, Michael May, Christina McLarty Arquette, and David Arquette. Perry also sings on the closing theme, "On This Mountain (Reprise)," a song sung earlier in the film by Nelson, who plays a blind Scandinavian saloonkeeper, and his wife, Lucille (Bettis). The film premiered at the Austin Film Festival in October 2021. The film has no relation to an identically titled 2004 book by Bruce Carlson.

The siege of Damascus of 1229 was part of an Ayyubid succession war over Damascus that broke out following the death of al-Muʿaẓẓam I in 1227. The late ruler's son, al-Nāṣir Dāʾūd, took de facto control of the city in opposition to al-Kāmil, the Ayyubid sultan in Egypt. In the ensuing war, al-Nāṣir lost Damascus but preserved his autonomy, ruling from al-Karak. Sources and background The main sources for the siege are Ibn Wāṣil's Mufarrij and Taʾrīkh al-Ṣāliḥī, Abū Shāma's al-Dhayl ʿalaʾl-rawḍatayn, Ibn al-Athīr's al-Kāmil fi ʾl-tāʾrīkh, Kamāl al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿAdīm' Zubdat al-Ḥalab min tāʾrīkh Ḥalab, Sibṭ ibn al-Jawzī's Mirʾāt al-Zamān, Ibn Abi ʾl-Dam's al-Shamārīkh and al-Makīn ibn al-ʿAmīd's chronicle. Ibn Wāṣil, Abū Shāma and Sibṭ ibn al-Jawzī were eyewitnesses of the siege. Abū Shāma provides the most precise dating. Within the Ayyubid realm, the sultan of Egypt was suzerain over the emir of Damascus, although the latter was largely autonomous. When al-Muʿaẓẓam I died in 1227, he was succeeded by his son, al-Nāṣir Dāʾūd, without any opposition from the sultan, al-Kāmil. This soon changed. When the sultan moved north in 1229 to confront the army of the Sixth Crusade, he planned to secure Damascus as well. To that end, while negotiating with the crusaders, he also opened negotiations with his brother al-Ashraf, who agreed to cede Ḥarrān to al-Kāmil in exchange for Damascus, after the latter was taken from al-Nāṣir, who immediately showed his intention to resist. In the negotiation with the crusaders, al-Kāmil promised access to Jerusalem in exchange for European pressure on Damascus to submit to Egypt's authority. Siege al-Ashraf's attack (March–May) In March 1229, al-Ashraf marched up to the walls of Damascus. He had under his command his personal troops, a contingent from Aleppo, the army of Homs and troops of al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl and al-Mughīth Maḥmūd. He was not equipped for an assault or a siege and probably intended only to pen up al-Nāṣir Dāʾūd. He cut off the two streams that supplied the city with water, but a sally by the garrison supported by local volunteers restored them. The suburbs of Qaṣr Ḥajjaj and Shaghur were burnt in the subsequent fighting. In response to repeated calls for reinforcements from al-Ashraf, al-Kāmil sent 2,000 regular cavalry in two contingents under Fakhr al-Dīn ibn al-Shaykh and al-Muẓaffar Maḥmūd. These probably arrived in late March or early April. The troops of Homs loyal to the Emir al-Mujāhid Shīrkūh thus fought side by side with the pretender to Homs, al-Muẓaffar Maḥmūd. In response to the attack engineered by al-Kāmil, al-Nāṣir Dāʾūd ordered Sibṭ ibn al-Jawzī to preach a sermon in the Umayyad Mosque denouncing the treaty of Jaffa finalized in February between the sultan and the Christian emperor Frederick II. Al-Kāmil probably delayed going to Damascus in person so as to supervise the fulfillment of the treaty. In late April, possibly earlier, he finally march north with the bulk of the army of Egypt. al-Kāmil's siege (May–June) The Egyptian army arrived on 6 May and al-Kāmil encamped near the mosque of Qadam. The following day, al-Nāṣir sent two envoys, the fuqahāʾ Jamāl al-Dīn al-Hasirī and Shams al-Dīn ibn al-Shīrāzī, to the sultan to discuss terms. On 8 May, representatives met for formal negotiations. Al-Kāmil's representative was ʿImād al-Dīn, brother of Fakhr al-Dīn, while al-Nāṣir was represented by ʿIzz al-Dīn Aybak. Negotiations soon broke down. On 13 May, there was heavy fighting in the suburb by the Bāb Tūmā. It was burnt. A week later, al-Nāṣir expelled the refugees from the Ghūṭa because the city did not have enough provisions for them. By 3 June, the besiegers had completely surrounded the city and controlled all territory up to the walls. Nevertheless, al-Nāṣir launched daily sallies against the enemy front lines without success. During the siege, al-Kāmil launched a strike against al-Karak, where al-Nāṣir's mother was staying. She ordered a sortie, which scattered the strike force and captured its commanders, two former emirs of al-Muʿaẓẓam. al-Nāṣir's defence The population of Damascus played an energetic role in its defence. Ibn Wāṣil credits this to their devotion to al-Nāṣir and his late father, al-Muʿaẓẓam. The Damascenes were almost certainly also fighting for the autonomy or independence that only a local dynasty could provide. The local militias that took part in the siege of 1229 are never heard of again. There were two instances of dissension within the city. A small detachment of the Damascene army deserted to the enemy, and al-Nāṣir imprisoned his kātib (secretary) Fakhr al-Quḍāt and his cousin al-Mukarram on suspicion of conspiring with the enemy. The most serious problem for al-Nāṣir, however, was his lack of money, since his treasury was in al-Karak. He quickly used up his local funds and had to melt down his gold and silver to mint coin. The jewellery and fine clothing of the women of his court he sold, but he did not extort a loan from the merchants of the city. Surrender on terms On 14 June, al-Nāṣir secretly slipped out of Damascus with a small guard entered the besiegers' camp to seek terms. He was ordered back into the city. On 16 June, Fakhr al-Dīn arrived at the citadel to escort him to al-Kāmil. A peace treaty was signed and al-Nāṣir returned to the city. The gates of Damascus were opened on 25 June 1229 to al-Kāmil and the Egyptian army. According to the terms of the treaty, al-Nāṣir would govern Transjordan, the Jordan Valley between the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee, the city of Nablus and the districts around Jerusalem, which city al-Kāmil had handed over to Frederick II in the treaty of Jaffa. Al-Kāmil would retain control of Ashkelon, Gaza, Hebron, Tiberias and the Transjordanian castle of al-Shawbak. ʿIzz al-Dīn Aybak retained his iqṭāʿ of Ṣalkhad. After a short while, al-Kāmil relinquished Damascus to al-Ashraf, who went on to seize Baalbek.

The 1638 Calabria earthquakes (Italian: Terremoto della Calabria 1638) consisted were a series of four mainshocks that struck between the night of March 27 and day of March 28 and June 9 in southern Italy. The first three earthquakes had moment magnitudes of 6.6–7.1. On June 9, a second mainshock measuring 6.7 struck the same region, causing further damage and casualties. The four earthquakes resulted in as many as 30,000 fatalities. Tectonic setting The region of Calabria is located between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, where active extension is ongoing. Extension is accommodated by normal faults on the Tyrrhenian side in Calabria. The trend of normal faults extend southwards to the Strait of Messina, where they occur on the Ionian side in Sicily. Known as the Siculo–Calabrian rift, this active geological feature is characterized by its high seismicity of earthquakes up to 7.1. Geology The earthquake of March 27 occurred within the Crati Valley fault system, specifically on the Piano Lago and Savuto–Decollatura faults. The March 28 earthquakes ruptured the Mesima fault system and Santa Eufemia–Feroleto fault respectively. The Lake Fault which produced a surface rupture was responsible for the June 9 earthquake, based on rich historical documentation and paleoseismology. This normal fault dips at an angle to the west and offsets the surface vertically. Two slightly weaker earthquakes struck the same region in 1832 and 1836. Summary of events Based on the analysis of the first-hand documentation, historiography and literature works during the 17th century, three mainshocks were identified; one on March 27, and two on March 28. Earthquake sequence 27 March At 10:00 pm local time, the first and most destructive earthquake struck with an epicenter in the Savuto Valley, or near the upper Crati river. It has a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme) in the heavily populated communes of Martirano, Rogliano, Santo Stefano di Rogliano, Grimaldi, Motta Santa Lucia, Marzi and Carpanzano. The earthquake destroyed much of the settlements there. The town of Amantea suffered total damage, while minor damage was reported at Maratea and Reggio Calabria. According to Ettore Capecelatro, a jurist and official of the Kingdom of Naples, more than 10,000 homes were decimated, while another 3,000 were unsafe for inhabitation. Then Roman Catholic Diocese of Martirano, Luca Cellesi, was injured during the collapse of the bishop's castle. He resided in the town of Pedivigliano where he reported that the population of his diocese fell from 12,000 to 6,500 after the quake. In Aiello Calabro, 408 homes were obliterated and 655 residents died. At least 116 were killed in Belsito, 234 in Grimaldi, 495 in Carpanzano, 229 in Conflenti, 173 in Malito, 532 in Motta Sta Lucia, 1,200 in Nicastro, 102 in Piane Crati, 216 in Sambiase, 451 in Scigliano Diano, and 126 in Feroleto. Following the earthquake, the affected areas saw a decrease in population due to migration. Many inhabitants of Motta Santa Lucia moved to Decollatura. Residents of Pedivigliano and Pittarella moved to Sila. Along the Ionian coast, survivors from Scigliano and Carpanzano relocated there and formed the communes of Mandatoriccio and Savelli. March 28 The two earthquakes on March 28 occurred in the southern tip of Calabria on Palm Sunday. One of the two shocks had an epicenter near Nicastro, where 3,000 people died. At least 600 of the total deaths in the city resulted from the collapse of a church. Many more residents were killed in Lamezia Terme, Falerna, Feroleto Antico, and Sant'Eufemia Lamezia. A destructive tsunami in the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia was associated with the earthquakes of March 28. Damage at Sant'Eufemia Lamezia was so severe that the town was abandoned. A second shock occurred in the Serre Calabresi, causing fissures to appear in the ground. Sulfur and flames were reported coming from the newly formed fissures. The earthquake was particularly destructive in Rosarno and Mileto, while the town centers of Borrello, Briatico, and Castelmonardo was destroyed. June 9 The June 9 earthquake had a magnitude of 6.7, and a maximum Mercalli intensity of X, striking at night. It affected the region of Sila, where six villages were destroyed. Extreme damage was reported in Catanzaro and Crotone, as well as 13 other villages. The earthquake caused a large surface fault rupture measuring 96.6 km-long and 0.8-meter-tall. The fault was clearly visitle, extending from Petilia Policastro to Sila, near the eastern shore of Ampollino Lake. It was preceded by two strong foreshocks in the early morning and afternoon, alerting many residents to stay outdoors. Despite the severity of damage, only 52 people died.

The Susiddhikāra-sūtra is a Buddhist sutra of the esoteric or Vajrayana tradition, and is often included with two other tantric texts: the Mahāvairocana-sūtra and the Vajraśekhara-sūtra. In the Tendai tradition the Susiddhikāra-sūtra is called the soshitsujikara-kyō (蘇悉地羯羅経) and is thought to unify the other two. Although no extant Sanskrit language version of the text, it was translated and preserved into Chinese in 726 by one Śubhākarasiṃha. It has also been translated into Tibetan. The Chinese version is composed in 3 fascicles, and begins with a series of questions and answers regarding utilizing tantra effectively, while the remaining chapters address these questions, along with providing classifications of tantric rites, and deities.

Baja Ferries (also known as: bajaferries S.A de C.V) is a Mexican shipping company dedicated to Ferry transportation across the Sea of Cortes, its headquarters are located in La Paz, Baja California Sur. The company was founded in 2003 by Mariano Ruano Boza and which would transport passengers between the Mexican States of Sinaloa and Baja California Sur, The company included the subsidiary dedicated to Trucking transportation company Transportadora GEOS. History The origins of Baja Ferries date back to 1991 when the French shipowner Daniel Berrebi obtained import/export contracts for Mexico from Alstom. In 1994 following the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Berrebi opened a first freight line between Mexico and the US initially then on the Western Mexican Coast from 1996. In 2001 the shipowner began its passenger transport activities by commissioning a high-speed ship between La Paz and Topolobampo in the Sinaloa State. In 2003, Berrebi chartered a mixed vessel with a rolling capacity of 2,100 linear meters from the Italian shipyard Visentini. Becoming the California Star, it inaugurates the activities of the company Baja Ferries, created for the occasion. The following year a second ship joined the fleet, the car ferry Coromuel, renamed Sinaloa Star. In 2007, Baja Ferries bought the car ferry Victory from the Italian company Grandi Navi Veloci and put it into service under the name Chihuahua Star, replacing the Sinaloa Star, which was leaving the fleet. In 2010, a new mixed vessel was integrated into the fleet, the Monte Cinto, bought from SNCM, which took the name of Mazatlan Star. His arrival allows the transfer in 2011 of the Chihuahua Star within the company America Cruise Ferries, another company owned by Daniel Berrebi operating lines in the Caribbean between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. A new Ro-Ro carrier was put into service in 2013, the ex-Strada Corsa, bought in Italy after the bankruptcy of its owner and put into service under the name La Paz Star. In November 2014, the company embarked on the race to take over SNCM, placed in receivership by the Commercial Court of Marseille. Based on a plan to reduce the company's scope of activity to Marseille-Corsica lines alone, subsidized under the public service delegation, and the development of lines with the Maghreb, with in particular the opening of a line to Morocco, its offer will be modified several times as the deadline is pushed back. Baja Ferries will in particular try to form a common front with the STEF Group before the latter decides to withdraw. Its offer will finally be discarded in favor of that of the Corsican transporter Rocca. It is for this reason that, from January 2016, Baja Ferries joined the consortium of Corsican companies Corsica Maritima, also a candidate for the takeover of SNCM, and participated in the launch of the company Corsica Linea by chartering the ro-ro ship to it. Stena Carrier, intended to compete with the new company succeeding SNCM between Marseille and Corsica. However, the two companies merging in April 2016, Baja Ferries will withdraw from the project. The Stena Carrier will join the company's fleet in 2018 under the name of México Star, as will another chartered ro-ro to serve Ajaccio. which would eventually join Baja Ferries in 2016 as Cabo Star before being chartered overseas. That same year, 2016 his ship, the former Chihuahua Star, chartered by ACF under the name Caribbean Fantasy, suffered a fire in the Caribbean in August. The extent of the damage led to her being sold for scrap the following year. This vessel was then replaced within the fleet by the Baja Star, a 170-metre car ferry purchased from the Chinese company Rizhao Ferries. First placed on the charter market, she joined the lines of Baja Ferries at the end of 2019 after the sale of the California Star.

The is a cluster of tombs dug in artificial caves in a tuff cliff of located in the Takaida neighborhood of city of Kashiwara, Osaka, in the Kansai region of Japan. It was designated as a National Historic Site in 1922, with the area under protection expanded 1990. Overview The Takaida Cave Tombs are located on the southernmost tip of the Ikoma Mountains, on the slope of a tuff hill facing the Yamato River at an elevation of 30 to 50 meters.The site consists of more than 200 tombs each have an opening approximately one meter square, with a narrow entrance tunnel leading to a larger chamber within, up to nine square meters in area with a ceiling of 170 to 180 centimeters in height. About half of the tombs have a step cut to a width of about 10 centimeters at the boundary between the wall and the ceiling. This is of unknown purpose, but is thought to resemble the eaves of a house. There were uptown three buries in a single typically in wooden coffins whose presence and size can be determined by the position of nails found on the floor of the tombs. However, a large percentage of tombs had no nails, so it is uncertain if some burials were without coffins, or else coffins were made without the use of nails. The burials were also made with the head facing north, regardless of the orientation of the entry to the tomb. A few tombs have a built-in stone sarcophagus,which was presumably cloned out and reed for subsequent burials. The tombs are in clusters with two to four tombs forming a unit, with between 10 and 15 units in a cluster, presumably corresponding to familial and clan groupings. The tombs are noted for a profusion of line engravings, depicting people, ships, birds, horses, fish, trees, flowers, swirls, suns, houses, etc. Some of the drawings show details such as the clothes of the people and the gondola-like shape of the hull of a boat. Grave goods including earrings, beads and other jewelry, horse harnesses and red-pigmented pottery has also been found. Construction began in the first half of the 6th century and seems to have continued until the 7th century. The site was discovered in 1917, but since many tombs have been open for a long time, it has not been confirmed whether all of the drawings are contemporary with the original construction. There is also considerable speculation as to who made this cluster of tombs, as this style is very rare for the Kansai region of Japan, and no settlement traces have been found in the near vicinity. The construction techniques and arrangement of bodies is similar to site sin the Higo region of Kyushu, whereas the style of clothing depicted in the drawings and depictions of boats point to a continental influence. On the other hand, votive kamado rice cookers, a common offering in toraijin tombs of settlers from Baekje have been found in only two of the tombs, and similar contemporary cave tomb clusters on the Korean peninsula are not similar in style. The site has is open to the public as the Takaida Yokoana Park, and the grave goods excavated from the tombs are displayed at the adjacent Kashiwara City History Museum. Then site is a short walk from Takaida Station on the JR West Kansai Main Line.

Tor Gustafsson Brookes (born either 1997 or 1998), better known by his online alias CatboyKami, is an Australian streamer, misogynist activist and white supremacist, known for his various online activities connected to far-right activism. Early life Tor Brookes was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, and he was raised in Brisbane, Australia. In his youth, he played various video games with his father, under the online username "Kamikaze", along with a variety of violence-inciting names. Throughout his early years, he was noted for his lack of social skills. According to one of his school classmates, "He didn't know how to talk to people correctly [...] he didn't really understand how people work." Brookes finished high school around 2015, and started streaming in 2019. Online activities Formerly going under the username "lolisocks", one of his most constant online activities is livestreaming himself in various activities, famously including online trolling of users on the popular chatting site Omegle. Many of these clips are often shared through his personal Telegram channel. His most notorious stream was a 10-hour long meeting with American nationalist Nick Fuentes, streamed in December 2019. Fuentes' attitude during the stream, combined with misogynist comments from Fuentes and Brookes' wearing of a Kemonomimi headband, led to rumors that Fuentes was a homosexual. Starting in mid-2020, Brookes streamed uploaded multiple videos of himself to DLive and BitChute, where he wore racist outfits, including blackface and stereotypical outfits that mocked Blacks, Asians, Latinos and Jews, along with mocking the murder of George Floyd. His activities helped inspire ex-journalist Paul Miller, known online as GypsyCrusader, who participated in many of the same activities. Brookes, along with online streamer Anthime Gionet (known online as Baked Alaska), attended a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, where he famously chanted that "we will not fall for the lies of the Jews this time. This time, we know our war is with them", referring to the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 American elections. Later at the rally, he clashed with a group of anti-Trump activists, where a Mexican activist witnessed him yelling racist catchphrases and racial slurs. One of the attendees of said rally was Jake Angeli, popularly known as the "QAnon Shaman", who later attended the 2021 storming of the US Capitol. In February 2021, one of Brookes' streams was played at a Zoom meeting on racial equality organized by Pennsylvania State University, where he depicted himself dressed up as a police officer, kneeling on a doll of George Floyd. Later, Brookes was interviewed by the FBI, which he described as a "raid". Throughout his online activities, Brookes made a large attempt to hide his real identity. In July 2021, Brookes was outed by journalist Alex Mann, who revealed his real name on an ABC radio podcast episode. Before being identified, Brookes was often referred to as "Philip Hedley".

The Jingwan system (Hangul: 진관체제, Hanja: 鎭管体制) or Jingwanbeop (Hangul: 진관법, Hanja: 鎭管法)) was a regional-level national defense system that existed during the Goryeo Dynasty. It is effective in defending against small-scale enemy invasions and inland. As the military service is in disarray, such as the anti-military and defense systems, it is challenging to maintain combat power as the troops' resources decrease. It established barracks in each province and set up the main camp and the geojin and jejin below them, the system commanded by local officials. Functions In 1457 A.D, King Sejo reshuffled the defense system to secure as many defensive fortresses as possible to enhance the defensive depth. Using this strategic composition, a Jinguan fights and defend their provinces, and every province has several independent Jingwans. Under this system, the roles of local commanders were to be stationed at their post, know the local topography inside and out, draft the operation plan, train local soldiers, and defend their defensive quarter through mobilizing their local soldiers in the case of conflict. However, when there's a massive invasion, like the Imjin War, there are not enough soldiers to defend their provinces as it was also a dispersed-force defense system. It requires the concentrated use of forced local forces to defend their defense perimeters, and the Bupiljeoktajinjijobeob rule prevents provinces from coming for each other's aid. They requested military commanders from the central government for support who did not know a familiar province's terrain. Structure The Jinguan is an independent defense unit composed of the following: Jujin: Main fortress commanded by a Byeongsa, a provincial military commander who takes charge in a regional defense and gives lower unit commanders orders Geojin (巨鎭): Medium-size local administrative units commanded by a Byeongmajeoljesa or Cheomjeoljesa (Geojin Military Commander). Jejin (諸鎭): Small local towns commanded by chief local magistrates or a military commander. References Military history of Korea Joseon dynasty

The trochilus or trochilos (Greek: τροχίλος, trokhílos = "runner"), sometimes called the crocodile bird, is a legendary bird, first described by Herodotus (c. 440 BC), and later by Aristotle, Pliny, and Aelian, which was supposed to have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Nile crocodile: it was said to pick leeches from the crocodile's throat by Herodotus, and to pick the crocodile's teeth by Aristotle. The trochilus has subsequently been spuriously identified with several bird species endemic to the Nile valley, apparently with little evidence. Ancient sources Herodotus According to the Histories of Herodotus, the Egyptian crocodiles bask on the shore with their mouths open and a bird called a "trochilus" flies into their open mouths so as to feed on the leeches which, because of the crocodiles' aquatic habitat, live there in abundance: Aristotle In the course of his biological researches, Aristotle classifies the trochilus among the water-birds in his History of Animals. Aristotle records the same pattern of cleaning symbiosis reported by Herodotus, but differs as to its purpose, stating that "when the crocodile gapes, the trochilus flies into its mouth, to cleanse its teeth", presumably to feed on decaying meat lodged between the teeth and gums. Pliny The story is further elaborated by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History in connection with the tale of the ichneumon. Aelian AeIian in his On the Nature of Animals says that Ieeches invade the mouth of the crocodile, as it swims with it open, and cause the animal much discomfort; feeling the need of the trochiIus as "doctor", it swims to the bank and lies there with its jaws agape, whereupon the bird enters and removes the leeches, while the crocodile remains perfectly still so as not to harm it. Aelian also acknowledges the existence of several types of trochilus other than the crocodile bird. Modern theories The story that the trochilus cleans the mouth of the crocodile is considered a fable, but many travellers and naturalists have been reluctant to reject it, and there have been attempts to identify the trochilus with several species of plover, lapwing and sandpiper, and to explain its curious behaviour. Leo Africanus mentions the story uncritically in his Description of Africa. Topsell says that the crocodile reopens its mouth because the bird carries sharp thorns on its head which prick the crocodile's palate, and Leith Adams, says that the reminder is conveyed to the crocodile by the horny spurs of the bird, which Brehm identified as the Egyptian plover. In 1895 Henry Scherren quoted John Mason Cook, son of travel agent Thomas Cook, as reporting from Egypt that he had seen some spur-winged plovers approach a crocodile, which opened its jaws for them: The eleventh edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica says that this bird picks parasites from the teeth and hide of the crocodile and supposes a connection with the spurwing and the plover. The English adventurer Major Chaplin Court Treatt made the following statement in 1931 based on his travels in Africa: Scepticism More recent research has not confirmed these observations, and there is no reliable evidence that this or any other species in fact has such a relationship with the crocodile. The written accounts are considered suspect by the biologist Thomas Howell. However, Cott records that spur-winged plovers are the birds that most often feed around basking crocodiles, and are tolerated by them. MacFarland and Reeder, reviewing the evidence in 1974, found that: Proposed species Sandpiper Egyptian plover Spur-winged lapwing White-crowned lapwing Literary references John Pory's 1600 translation of Leo Africanus, A Geographical History of Africa, inspired a passage spoken by Flamineo in Webster's 1612 tragedy The White Devil (IV, ii, 224–235). The relationship between the crocodile and the little bird trochilus was frequently used by Elizabethans to symbolise ingratitude.

is a Japanese comedian and YouTube celebrity. Since August 2020, she has worked as a freelance entertainer. She is known for her unique way of speaking, which is considered frank by most Japanese. She is also renown for hair style, which often features paired "devil horns." Biography After her birth in a suburb of Tokyo in 1993, Fuwa-chan followed her parents to Los Angeles, where she lived from second to fourth grade in elementary school before returning to Japan in 2003. Her father was self-employed in the import/export business and her mother was a full time homemaker. Throughout her childhood, Fuwa-chan enjoyed devising new games and pranks.

The voice actress, Ayane Sakura, who was one of her high school classmates, remarked how Fuwa-chan "was like a typhoon." Career In March 2017, Fuwa-chan graduated from Toyo University with a B.A. degree in Chinese philosophy. During her second year at university, Fuwa-chan enrolled in the 18th class of the Watanabe Comedy School in Tokyo. Fuwa-chan decided to launch a career as a comedian because it seemed to be her natural forte. She formed a comic duo with another female high school classmate. However, this partnership ended in 2014. After that, she formed another partnership with another classmate, creating a comic duo named "SF Century Space Child." After graduating from the Watanabe Comedy School in 2014, Fuwa-chan joined the Watanabe Entertainment Company, but left that company after three years following a heated argument with an agency executive. In September 2017, Fuwa-chan launched her own YouTube channel, "Fuwa-chan's Woo-woo" with TV Asahi director Takuro Samukawa. Then April 2018, she launched another channel known as Fuwa-chan TV/FUWACHAN TV. That YouTube channel had 809,000 subscribers as of February 11, 2022. In July 2020 Fuwa-chan met with Tokyo Governor Koike and Fuwa-chan broadcast some messages in English and Japanese about ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19. In recent years Fuwa-chan has been working as a freelance comedian, mainly as a solo performer. In 2020 she participated in Japanese entertainment events such as the "R-1 Gran Prix" and in the "Final Battle of the W Competition" for the best female entertainer, an event jointly operated by Yoshimoto Kogyo and Nippon Television. As a result, Fuwa-chan's TV appearances increased sharply. She also became general MC of the TVTokyo show, "Shichōsha-sama ni kawaretai!" [I want to be kept by my viewers!] in August 2020. In July 2020 Fuwa-chan received the Japan Council for Better Radio and Television's monthly "Galaxy Award" for "Notable Talent." As a testament to her popularity, Jiyu Kokuminsha recognized "Fuwa-chan" as one of the most popular Japanese buzzwords in 2020 along with "Abenomask" and "Ai no Fuchaku". The noted sociologist Shōichi Ōta summarized Fuwa-chan's status by stating, "Fuwa-chan is like a mirror that reflects contemporary [Japanese] TV and society. We should keep an eye on her."

It then passes through and enters Cecil Plains. Here it passes Pampas–Horrane Road (State Route 82) where it becomes part of State Route 82 before ending at an intersection with Dalby–Cecil Plains Road (State Route 82). State Route 82 State Route 82 follows a number of separately named roads from (near ) to . It is not necessarily the best or the shortest or the quickest route between the two terminii. It was proclaimed as a State Route because, at the time, it was the most convenient route for many users. It is also an example of why motorists in unfamiliar territory should follow a designated route rather than rely on a vehicle navigation system, which may direct them onto less suitable alternative roads. The route follows Chinchilla–Wondai Road west from Tingoora to , where it turns south to . Here the Chinchilla–Wondai Road turns west, while State Route 82 continues south on Jandowae Connection Road to . In Jandowae the road name changes to Dalby–Jandowae Road, which continues to the Warrego Highway in the west of Dalby. From there it follows the Warrego Highway to the south-east until it reaches Dalby–Cecil Plains Road, where it continues south. At a T-junction in Cecil Plains, State Route 82 turns east on Toowoomba–Cecil Plains Road until it reaches Pampas–Horrane Road, where it turns south. Note that many navigation systems will suggest a turn to the west in Cecil Plains, leading to Millmerran–Cecil Plains Road. State Route 82 follows Pampas–Horrane Road to Pampas, where it meets the Gore Highway at a T-junction. From there it follows the Gore Highway south-west to , where it turns south on the Millmerran–Inglewood Road. This road continues south to Inglewood, where it meets the Cunningham Highway at a T-junction. Road condition Toowoomba–Cecil Plains Road is fully sealed. It has about with an incline greater than 5%. History The first roads on the Darling Downs were cut to provide access for wheeled vehicles to the pastoral runs and new settlements. Some of these radiated from Toowoomba like the spokes of a wheel. Between the north-west road (now Warrego Highway) and the south-west road (now Gore Highway) was the western road (now Toowoomba–Cecil Plains Road). Cecil Plains pastoral run was established in 1842. In 1877 was resumed from the Cecil Plains pastoral run to establish smaller farms. This resumption soon led to closer settlement and a demand for better roads to enable the commercial success of the new farms. A postal receiving office opened in 1890, and the first school in 1898. Over time the areas along the line of road from Cecil Plains to Toowoomba were settled as farms of various sizes. In 1916, Cecil Plains station was acquired by the Queensland government and subdivided for closer settlement, with some parcels reserved for soldier settlers. The new settlers produced mainly wheat and dairy. Major intersections All distances are from Google Maps. The entire road is in the Toowoomba local government area.

A soulslike (or souls-like) is a subgenre of action role-playing games known for high levels of difficulty and emphasis on environmental storytelling. It had its origin in the Souls series of video games by FromSoftware, the themes and mechanics of which directly inspired numerous other, similar games. The soulslike label has received some criticism, with several critics and developers questioning whether it is a true genre or a collection of shared mechanics, and whether it is too loosely used to describe games with only vague similarities. Concepts Setting and plot Soulslike games are commonly defined by their dark fantasy setting and lack of overt storytelling, as well as their deep worldbuilding, with a captivating world being cited as key to spark players' desire to explore. Players are meant to discover bits and pieces of the game's lore over time via environmental storytelling, item descriptions and cryptic dialogue, piecing it together themselves to increase the game's sense of mystery. Despite their dark themes, the settings of soulslikes also sometimes feature elements of comic relief, such as unexpected interactions (i.e. petting a cat), humorous reactions from NPCs, peculiar outfits and weapons, and unusual, often slapstick means of death, such as being eaten by a Mimic. Gameplay Soulslike games typically have a high level of difficulty where repeated player-character death is expected and incorporated as part of the gameplay, losing all progress if certain checkpoints have not been reached. Soulslike games also usually have means to permanently improve the player-character's abilities as to be able to progress further, often by a type of currency that can be earned and spent, but may be lost or abandoned between deaths if not appropriately managed, similar to the souls in the Souls series. This mechanic provides a means to avoid an outright failure state, where the player must restart the game completely and lose all progress, while still providing a risk-and-reward system to make the game challenging to the player. The need for repeated playthroughs can be viewed as a type of self-improvement for the player, either through gradual improvement of their character, or improving their own skills and strategies within the game. Combat in soulslike games may also be methodical, requiring the player to monitor stamina to avoid overexertion of their character, and often is based on "animation priority" actions that prevent the player from cancelling movement until the animation has been played out, leaving them vulnerable to enemy attacks. History The soulslike genre had its genesis in the 2009 video game Demon's Souls, developed by FromSoftware and designed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. It introduced the core tenets that would be followed by later Souls games, and, by extension, soulslikes as well. The subgenre was later popularized by the second Souls game, Dark Souls, in 2011. Games considered to be soulslikes include the FromSoftware and Miyazaki titles Bloodborne (2015), Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (2019), and Elden Ring (2022), in addition to Lords of the Fallen (2014), Salt and Sanctuary (2016), the Nioh series, The Surge series, Remnant: From the Ashes (2019), Code Vein (2019), and Mortal Shell (2020). Dead Cells (2018) has been officially described as a "souls-lite" game. Other games outside of the genre cited to have been influenced by the series include Destiny, Shovel Knight, Titan Souls, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, God of War, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, while similar death mechanics were used in Nier: Automata. Reception Interviews with developers of soulslike games revealed that they all thought of being classified as part of the genre as a positive thing that functioned as a useful description for players. However, some believed that it could be misleading, causing players to expect certain things and be disappointed when a game does not have them. An example of this was players being disappointed that Remnant: From the Ashes was primarily a shooter, despite being characterized as a soulslike. Austin Wood of PC Gamer criticized the soulslike label, saying that treating Souls games as a template "misleads" players into believing that various games classified as such are similar to Souls when they are really different. He called the soulslike label, along with the Metroidvania and roguelike labels, "jargon" that "ignores what makes [the games] unique". Mark Brown of Game Maker's Toolkit also decried the soulslike label as overly restrictive, forcing games to fall into a certain template and preventing their design from advancing. In responding to this argument, Bruno Dias of Vice disagreed, saying that Brown's comparison of soulslikes with roguelikes was not apt because roguelikes were a hobbyist pursuit for a long time. He also said that soulslikes did not need to advance yet as they did not have a marketability problem. See also Roguelike Metroidvania References Souls (series) Video game genres
