The 2022 Clásica de Almería was the 37th edition of the Clásica de Almería one-day road cycling race. It was held on 13 February 2022 as a category 1.Pro race on the 2022 UCI ProSeries. The race took place in the Spanish province of Almería, from El Ejido to Roquetas de Mar. The first half of the race course featured several climbs, the most prominent of which was the second-category Alto de Celín, which crested less than into the race. On the other hand, the last were mostly flat, finishing with a longer circuit around Roquetas de Mar before a shorter finishing circuit at long. The race's main breakaway consisted of three riders: Xabier Azparren, Gilles De Wilde, and Lukas Pöstlberger. The trio claimed almost all of the intermediate sprint and mountains classifications points on offer throughout the route, with Azparren winning the mountains classification and Pöstlberger winning the intermediate sprint classification. With over left, De Wilde was the first to be dropped from the lead group, while the remaining duo were caught by the peloton with under left. There were several crashes in the final few kilometres, but in the final sprint, Alexander Kristoff won by a narrow margin ahead of Nacer Bouhanni and defending champion Giacomo Nizzolo. Teams Eight of the 18 UCI WorldTeams and 11 UCI ProTeams made up the 19 teams that participated in the race. 12 teams entered a full squad of seven riders each. Four teams (, , , and ) entered a squad of six riders each, and two teams ( and ) entered a squad of five riders each, while was only able to enter a squad of four riders.

William George Westwick (August 2, 1908June 19, 1990) was a Canadian sports journalist. He wrote for the Ottawa Journal from 1926 to 1973, was mentored by Basil O'Meara, then served as the paper's sports editor from 1942 until retirement. Westwick regularly covered ice hockey, Canadian football, and boxing; and had a reputation for not hurting anyone, being accurate, and unquestioned veracity. As the sports editor, he sought for his staff to report the facts first, then develop a personal writing style with time, and mentored his successor Eddie MacCabe. Westwick was the son of Harry "Rat" Westwick, and was inducted into the Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Early life and family William George Westwick was born on August 2, 1908, in Ottawa, Ontario, to parents Harry "Rat" Westwick and Rubina Duval. Westwick had two brothers and two sisters. His father won the Stanley Cup playing for the Ottawa Silver Seven, and won national championships as a lacrosse player. Thomas Westwick was an uncle to Westwick as his father's brother. Tommy Gorman was also an uncle to Westwick, having married Harry Westwick's sister Mary in 1910. Westwick attended Lisgar Collegiate Institute, where he was an amateur boxer and a collegiate champion. He also played football, hockey and lacrosse. Journalism career Westwick began writing for the Ottawa Journal in 1926, mentored by its sports editor Basil O'Meara, who convinced Westwick to write about sports instead of pursuing a professional hockey playing career. Westwick served a brief time as city editor of the Ottawa Journal, then succeeded O'Meara as the sports editor from 1942 to 1973. As the sports editor, Westwick sought for his staff to report the facts first, then develop a personal writing style with time. Columns by Westwick regularly covered ice hockey, Canadian football, and boxing. He frequently wrote about heavyweight boxing championships, and also reported on the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the Olympic Games, and the British Empire Games. Notable sports events covered were the heavyweight championship won by Cassius Clay, the Richard Riot, the 1960 World Series, and the perfect game pitched by Don Larsen. During the mid-1950s when the Ottawa Rough Riders were struggling, Westwick poked fun at the team rather than criticize. When coach Chan Caldwell suggested that the team could practice on a train ride to an away game by attaching a railway flatcar filled with dirt, Westwick played along with the joke although the plan never happened. Fellow journalist Eddie MacCabe recalled that Westwick reported on the idea with "brilliant clarity and memorable hilarity". Following a 1959 National Hockey League playoffs game, Westwick quoted league president Clarence Campbell as accusing the referee Red Storey of "freezing" in the final minutes of a near-riotous game. Storey subsequently resigned as a referee. Campbell stated that Westwick took the words out of context, accused him of "breaking confidence" in the article. Westwick's fellow newsmen defended his article and did not question its veracity. In addition to writing, Westwick served as a horse racing official, and was on the selection committee for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame from 1964 to 1982. He retired from the Ottawa Journal on August 29, 1973, and was succeeded by Eddie MacCabe as the sports editor, who had been his assistant since 1952. Reputation The Canadian Press journalist Stuart Lake described Westwick as an "old school journalist", a two-fingered typist who signed off with -30- to end his copy, that he "could belt back beers with the best of them" until he quit drinking, and that he "had a deep sense of responsibility for what he wrote and went out of his way not to hurt people with the millions of words that flowed from his typewriter". Eddie MacCabe described Westwick as "always the gentleman", had gained the confidence of athletes and colleagues, and that "he was at pains not to hurt anyone, but never so much that he would take a back step from a testy situation". MacCabe recalled that Westwick may have appeared disorganized, but never missed a deadline. Personal life Westwick was married to Rita, and had two sons and three daughters. He resided in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood of Ottawa, and had a family cottage on Long Lake near Buckingham, Quebec. He died on June 19, 1990, in Ottawa, and was cremated. Honours and awards In 1948, Westwick received the National Press Club of Canada Sports Award for his coverage of the 36th Grey Cup, when the Ottawa Rough Riders lost to Calgary Stampeders. In 1961, he received a Canadian Sports Advisory Council award for encouragement of amateur sport. His career in journalism was also recognized with a Governor General's Award. After his retirement from the Ottawa Journal, he was the guest of honour at a testimonial dinner held at the Château Laurier on October 24, 1973. The dinner was attended by more than 500 people including prominent sports persons. He received lifetime passes to games for the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Ottawa 67's, and a key to the city of Ottawa. Westwick was inducted into the builder category of the Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame on May 24, 1983, and was inducted into the Football Reporters of Canada section of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1984.

Definitions of philosophy aim at determining what all forms of philosophy have in common and how to distinguish philosophy from other disciplines. Many different definitions have been proposed but there is very little agreement on which is the right one. Some general characteristics of philosophy are widely accepted, for example, that it is a form of rational inquiry that is systematic, critical, and tends to reflect on its own methods. But such characteristics are usually too vague to give a proper definition of philosophy. Many of the more concrete definitions are very controversial, often because they are revisionary in that they deny the label philosophy to various subdisciplines for which it is normally used. Such definitions are usually only accepted by philosophers belonging to a specific philosophical movement. One reason for these difficulties is that the meaning of the term "philosophy" has changed throughout history: it used to include the sciences as its subdisciplines, which are seen as distinct disciplines in the modern discourse. But even in its contemporary usage, it is still a wide term spanning over many different subfields. An important distinction among approaches to defining philosophy is between deflationism and essentialism. Deflationist approaches see it as an empty blanket term, while essentialistic approaches hold that there is a certain set of characteristic features shared by all parts of philosophy. Between these two extremes, it has been argued that these parts are related to each other by family resemblance even though they do not all share the same characteristic features. Some approaches try to define philosophy based on its method by emphasizing its use of pure reasoning instead of empirical evidence. Others focus on the wideness of its topic, either in the sense that it includes almost every field or based on the idea that it is concerned with the world as a whole or the big questions. These two approaches may also be combined to give a more precise definition based both on method and on topic. Many definitions of philosophy concentrate on its close relation to science. Some see it as a proper science itself, focusing, for example, on the essences of things and not on empirical matters of fact, in contrast to most other sciences, or on its level of abstractness by talking about very wide-ranging empirical patterns instead of particular observations. But since philosophy seems to lack the progress found in regular sciences, various theorists have opted for a weaker definition by seeing philosophy as an immature science that has not yet found its sure footing. This position is able to explain both the lack of progress and the fact that various sciences used to belong to philosophy, while they were still in their provisional stages. It has the disadvantage of degrading philosophical practice in relation to the sciences. Other approaches see philosophy more in contrast to the sciences as concerned mainly with meaning, understanding, or the clarification of language. This can take the form of the analysis of language and how it relates to the world, of finding the necessary and sufficient conditions for the applications of technical terms, as a form of therapy that tries to dispel illusions due to the confusing structure of natural language, or as the task of identifying what pre-ontological understanding of the world we already have and which apriori conditions of possibility govern all experience. An outlook on philosophy prevalent in the ancient discourse sees it as the love of wisdom expressed in the spiritual practice of developing one's reasoning ability in order to lead a better life. A closely related approach holds that the articulation of worldviews is the principal task of philosophy. Other conceptions emphasize the reflective nature of philosophy, for example, as thinking about thinking or as an openness to questioning any presupposition. General characteristics and sources of disagreement The problem of defining philosophy concerns the question of what all forms of philosophy have in common, i.e. how philosophy differs from non-philosophy or other disciplines, such as the empirical sciences or fine art. One difficulty is due to the fact that the meaning of the term "philosophy" has changed a lot in history: it was used in a much wider sense to refer to any form of rational inquiry before the modern age. In this sense, it included many of the individual sciences and mathematics, which are not seen as part of philosophy today. For example, Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica formulating the laws of classical mechanics carries the term in its title. Modern definitions of philosophy, as discussed in this article, tend to focus on how the term is used today, i.e. on a more narrow sense. Some basic characterizations of philosophy are widely accepted, like that it is a critical and mostly systematic study of a great range of areas. Other such characterizations include that it seeks to uncover fundamental truths in these areas using a reasoned approach while also reflecting on its own methods and standards of evidence. Such characterizations succeed at characterizing many or all parts of philosophy. This is an important achievement since the domain of philosophy is very wide, spanning across almost any field, which is reflected in its sub-disciplines termed "philosophy of...", like the philosophy of science, of mind, of law, of religion, or of pornography. The problem with such general characterizations is that they are usually too vague: they apply not just to philosophy but also to some non-philosophical disciplines and thereby fail to distinguish philosophy from them. To overcome these difficulties, various more specific definitions of philosophy have been proposed. Most of them are controversial. In many cases, they are only accepted by philosophers belonging to one philosophical movement but not by others. The more general conceptions are sometimes referred to as descriptive conceptions in contrast to the more specific prescriptive conceptions. Descriptive conceptions try to give an account of how the term "philosophy" is actually used or what philosophers in the widest sense do. Prescriptive conceptions, on the other hand, aim at clarifying what philosophy ideally is or what it ought to be, even if what philosophers actually do often fall behind this ideal. This issue is particularly controversial since different philosophical movements often diverge widely in what they consider to be good philosophy. They are often revisionistic in the sense that many presumed parts of philosophy, past and present, would not deserve the title "philosophy" if they were true. Some definitions of philosophy focus mainly on what the activity of doing philosophy is like, such as striving towards knowledge. Others concentrate more on the theories and systems arrived at this way. In this sense, the terms "philosophy" and "philosophical" can apply both to a thought process, to the results of this activity in the form of theories, or even to contemplative forms of life reflecting such theories. Another common approach is to define philosophy in relation to the task or goal it seeks to accomplish such as answering certain types of questions are arriving at a certain type of knowledge. The difficulty in defining "philosophy" is also reflected in the fact that introductions to philosophy often do not start with a precise definition but introduce it instead by providing an overview of its many branches and subfields, such as epistemology, ethics, logic, and metaphysics. The discipline known as metaphilosophy has as one of its main goals to clarify the nature of philosophy. Outside the academic context, the term "philosophy" is sometimes used in an unspecific sense referring to general ideas or guidelines, such as the business philosophy of a company, the leadership philosophy of an entrepreneur, or the teaching philosophy of a schoolmaster. Deflationism, essentialism, and family resemblance An important distinction among definitions of philosophy is between deflationism and essentialism. The deflationist approach holds that philosophy is an empty blanket term. It is used for convenience by deans and librarians to group various forms of inquiry together. This approach is usually motivated by the enduring difficulties in giving a satisfying definition. According to this view, philosophy does not have a precise essence shared by all its manifestations. One difficulty with the deflationist approach is that it is not helpful for solving disagreements on whether a certain new theory or activity qualifies as philosophy since this would seem to be just a matter of convention. Another is that it implies that the term "philosophy" is rather empty or meaningless. This approach is opposed by essentialists, who contend that a set of features constitutes the essence of philosophy and characterizes all and only its parts. Many of the definitions based on subject matter, method, its relation to science or to meaning and understanding are essentialists conceptions of philosophy. They are controversial since they often exclude various theories and activities usually treated as part of philosophy. These difficulties with the deflationist and the essentialist approach have moved some philosophers towards a middle ground, according to which the different parts of philosophy are characterized by family resemblances. This means that the various parts of philosophy resemble each other by sharing several features. But different parts share different features with each other, i.e. they do not all share the same features. This approach can explain both that the term "philosophy" has some substance to it, i.e. that it is not just based on an empty convention, and that some parts of philosophy may differ a lot from each other, for example, that some parts are very similar to mathematics while others almost belong to the natural sciences and psychology. This approach has the disadvantage that it leaves the definition of philosophy vague, thereby making it difficult for the non-paradigmatic cases to determine whether they belong to philosophy or not, i.e. that there is no clear-cut distinction. Based on method and subject matter Two important aspects for distinguishing philosophy from other disciplines have been its topic or domain of inquiry and its method. The problem with these approaches is usually that they are either too wide, i.e. they include various other disciplines, like empirical sciences or fine arts, in their definition, or too narrow by excluding various parts of philosophy. Some have argued that its method focuses on apriori knowledge, i.e. that philosophy does not depend on empirical observations and experiments. Instead, such an approach bases philosophical justification primarily on pure reasoning, similar to how mathematical theory-making is based on mathematical proofs and in contrast to the scientific method based on empirical evidence. This way of doing philosophy is often referred to as armchair philosophy or armchair theorizing since it can be done from the comfort of one's armchair without any field work. But this characterization by itself is not sufficient as a definition, since it applies equally well to other fields, such as mathematics. Giving a more precise account of the method, for example, as conceptual analysis or phenomenological inquiry, on the other hand, results in a too narrow definition that excludes various parts of philosophy. Definitions focusing on the domain of inquiry or topic of philosophy often emphasize its wide scope in contrast to the individual sciences. According to Wilfrid Sellars, for example, philosophy aims "to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term". Similar definitions focus on how philosophy is concerned with the whole of the universe or at least with the big questions regarding life and the world. Such attempts usually result in a definition that is too broad and may include both some natural sciences and some forms of fine art and literature in it. On the other hand, they may also be too narrow, since some philosophical topics concern very specific questions that do not directly deal with the big questions or the world as a whole. Because of these difficulties, philosophers have often tried to combine methodological and topical characterizations in their definitions. This can happen, for example, by emphasizing the wideness of its domain of inquiry, to distinguish it from the other individual sciences, together with its rational method, to distinguish it from fine art and literature. Such approaches are usually more successful at determining the right extension of the term but they also do not fully solve this problem. Based on relation to science Various definitions of philosophy emphasize its close relation to science, either by seeing it itself as a science or by characterizing the role it plays for science. The plausibility of such definitions is affected by how wide the term "science" is to be understood. If it refers to the natural sciences, such definitions are usually quite controversial. But if science is understood in a very wide sense as a form of rational inquiry that includes both the formal sciences and the humanities, such characterizations are less controversial but also less specific. This wide sense is how the term "philosophy" was traditionally used to cover various disciplines that are today considered as distinct disciplines. But this does not reflect its contemporary usage. Many science-based definitions of philosophy face the difficulty of explaining why philosophy has historically not shown the same level of progress as the sciences. Some reject this claim by emphasizing that philosophy has significantly progressed, but in a different and less obvious way. Others allow that this type of progress is not found in philosophy and try to find other explanations why it should still be considered a science. As a proper science The strongest relation to science is posited by definitions that see philosophy itself as a science. One such conception of philosophy is found within the phenomenological movement, which sees philosophy as a rigorous science. On this view, philosophy studies the structures of consciousness, more specifically, the essences that show themselves in consciousness and their relations to each other, independent of whether they have instances in the external world. It contrasts with other sciences in that they do not reflect on the essences themselves but research whether and in which ways these essences are manifested in the world. This position was already anticipated by Arthur Schopenhauer, who holds that philosophy is only interested in the nature of what there is but not in the causal relations explaining why it is there or what will become of it. But this science-based definition of philosophy found in phenomenology has come under attack on various points. On the one hand, it does not seem to be as rigorously scientific as its proponents proclaim. This is reflected in the fact that even within the phenomenological movement, there are still various fundamental disagreements that the phenomenological method has not been able to resolve, suggesting that philosophy has not yet found a solid epistemological footing. On the other hand, different forms of philosophy study various other topics besides essences and the relations between them. Another conception of philosophy as a science is due to Willard Van Orman Quine. His outlook is based on the idea that there are no analytic propositions, i.e. that any claim may be revised based on new experiences. On this view, both philosophy and mathematics are empirical sciences. They differ from other sciences in that they are more abstract by being concerned with wide-reaching empirical patterns instead of particular empirical observations. But this distance to individual observations does not mean that their claims are non-empirical, according to Quine. A similar outlook in the contemporary discourse is sometimes found in experimental philosophers, who reject the exclusive armchair approach and try to base their theories on experiments. Seeing philosophy as a proper science is often paired with the claim that philosophy has just recently reached this status, for example, due to the discovery of a new philosophical methodology. Such a view can explain that philosophy is a science despite not having made much progress: because it has had much less time in comparison to the other sciences. As an immature science But a more common approach is to see philosophy not as a fully developed science on its own but as an immature or preliminary science. Georg Simmel, for example, sees it as a provisional science studying appearances. On this view, a field of inquiry belongs to philosophy until it has developed sufficiently to provide exact knowledge of the real elements underlying these appearances. Karl Jaspers gives a similar characterization by emphasizing the deep disagreements within philosophy in contrast to the sciences, which have achieved the status of generally accepted knowledge. This is often connected to the idea that philosophy does not have a clearly demarcated domain of inquiry, in contrast to the individual sciences: the demarcation only happens once a philosophical subdiscipline has reached its full maturity. This approach has the advantage of explaining both the lack of progress in philosophy and the fact that many sciences used to be part of philosophy before they matured enough to constitute fully developed sciences. But the parts that still belong to philosophy have so far failed to reach a sufficient consensus on their fundamental theories and methods. A philosophical discipline ceases to be philosophy and becomes a science once definite knowledge of its topic is possible. In this sense, philosophy is the midwife of the sciences. Philosophy itself makes no progress because the newly created science takes all the credit. On such a view, it is even conceivable that philosophy ceases to exist at some point once all its sub-disciplines have been turned into sciences. An important disadvantage of this view is that it has difficulty in accounting for the seriousness and the importance of the achievements of philosophers, including the ones affecting the sciences. The reason for this is that labeling philosophy as an immature science implies that philosophers are unable to go about their research in the proper manner. Another disadvantage of this conception is that the closeness to science does not fit equally well for all parts of philosophy, especially in relation to moral and political philosophy. Some even hold that philosophy as a whole may never outgrow its immature status since humans lack the cognitive faculties to give answers based on solid evidence to the philosophical questions they are considering. If this view were true, it would have the serious consequence that doing philosophy would be downright pointless. Based on meaning, understanding, and clarification Many definitions of philosophy see as its main task the creation of meaning and understanding or the clarification of concepts. In this sense, philosophy is often contrasted with the sciences in the sense that it is not so much about what the actual world is like but about how we experience it or how we think and talk about it. This may be expressed by stating that philosophy is "the pursuit not of knowledge but of understanding". In some cases, this takes the form of making various practices and assumptions explicit that have been implicit before, similar to how a grammar makes the rules of a language explicit without inventing them. This is a form of reflective, second-order understanding that can be applied to various fields, not just the sciences. A conception of philosophy based on clarification and meaning is defended by logical positivists, who saw the "clarification of problems and assertions" as the main task of philosophy. According to Moritz Schlick, for example, philosophy is unlike the sciences in that it does not aim at establishing a system of true propositions. Instead, it is the activity of finding meaning. But this activity is nonetheless quite relevant for the sciences since familiarity with the meaning of a proposition is important for assessing whether it is true. A closely related definition is given by Rudolf Carnap, who sees philosophy as the logic of science, meaning that it is concerned with analyzing scientific concepts and theories. From the perspective of logical atomism, this clarification takes the form of decomposing propositions into basic elements, which are then correlated to the entities found in the world. On this approach, philosophy has both a destructive and a constructive side. Its destructive side focuses on eliminating meaningless statements that are neither verifiable by experience nor true by definition. This position is often connected to the idea that some sentences, such as metaphysical, ethical, or aesthetical sentences, lack a meaning since they cannot be correlated to elements in the world that determine whether they are true or false. In this sense, philosophy can be understood as a critique of language that exposes senseless expressions. Its constructive side, on the other hand, concerns epistemology and philosophy of science, often with the goal of finding a unified science. Other conceptions of philosophy agree that it has to do with finding meaning and clarifying concepts but focus on a wider domain beyond the sciences. For example, a conception commonly found in the analytic tradition equates philosophy with conceptual analysis. In this sense, philosophy has as its main task to clarify the meanings of the terms we use, often in the form of searching for the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a concept applies to something. Such an analysis is not interested in whether any actual entity falls under this concept. For example, a physicist may study what causes a certain event to happen while a philosopher may study what we mean when using the term "causation". This analysis may be applied to scientific terms but is not limited to them. From the perspective of ordinary language philosophy, philosophy has as its main enterprise the analysis of natural language. According to Ludwig Wittgenstein, for example, philosophy is not a theory but a practice that takes the form of linguistic therapy. This therapy is important because ordinary language is structured in confusing ways that make us susceptible to all kinds of misunderstandings. It is the task of the philosopher to uncover the root causes of such illusions. This often takes the form of exposing how traditional philosophical "problems" are only pseudo-problems, thereby dissolving them rather than resolving them. So on a theoretical level, philosophy leaves everything as it is without trying to provide new insights, explanations, or deductions. The focus on understanding is also reflected in the transcendental traditions and in some strands of phenomenology, where the task of philosophy is identified with making comprehensible and articulating the understanding we already have of the world, sometimes referred to as pre-understanding or pre-ontological understanding. The need for such an inquiry is expressed in Saint Augustine's remark concerning the nature of time: "I know well enough what it is, provided that nobody asks me; but if I am asked what it is and try to explain, I am baffled". This type of understanding is prior to experience in the sense that experience of a particular thing is not possible without some form of pre-understanding of this thing. In this sense, philosophy is a transcendental inquiry into the apriori conditions of possibility underlying both ordinary and scientific experience. But characterizing philosophy this way seems to exclude many of its sub-disciplines, like applied ethics. Others Various other definitions of philosophy have been proposed. Some focus on its role in helping the practitioner lead a good life: they see philosophy as the spiritual practice of developing one's reasoning ability through which some ideal of health is to be realized. Such an outlook on philosophy was already explicitly articulated in stoicism and has also been adopted by some contemporary philosophers. A closely related conception sees philosophy as a way of life. This is based on a conception of what it means to lead a good life that is centered on increasing one's wisdom through various types of spiritual exercises or on the development and usage of reason. Such an outlook can already be discerned in ancient Greek philosophy, where philosophy is often seen as the love of wisdom. According to this characterization, philosophy differs from wisdom itself since it implies more the continued struggle to attain wisdom, i.e. being on the way towards wisdom. A closely related approach sees the principal task of philosophy as the development and articulation of worldviews. Worldviews are comprehensive representations of the world and our place in it. They go beyond science by articulating not just theoretical facts concerning the world but also include practical and ethical components, both on a general and a specific level. This way, worldviews articulate what matters in life and can guide people in living their lives accordingly. On the worldview account of philosophy, it is the task of philosophers to articulate such global visions both of how things on the grand scale hang together and which practical stance we should take towards them. Other conceptions of philosophy focus on its reflective and metacognitive aspects. One way to emphasize the reflective nature of philosophy is to define it as thinking about thinking. Another characterization of philosophy sometimes found in the literature is that, at least in principle, it does not take any facts for granted and allows any presupposition to be questioned, including its own methods. This is reflected in the fact that philosophy has no solid foundations to build on since whatever foundations one philosopher accepts may be questioned by another. Sokrates identified philosophy with the awareness of one's ignorance. For Immanuel Kant, philosophical inquiry is characterized as "knowledge gained by reason from concepts" (). According to Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, philosophy is the science of reason. References Analytic philosophy Definitions Metaphilosophy Phenomenology

Moermond Castle is a castle in Renesse on Schouwen-Duiveland. Castle Characteristics The first castle The first castle was built northeast of the current castle. It was a water castle that was destroyed in about 1297. The first castle was never seen till it was rediscovered during the 1956 excavations. This first castle was polygonal. Judging from the estimated one third that was found in the 1950s, it formed a rough circle. The wall was about 1.60 m wide, and has small outward protrusions on the corners. On the northwest side a square tower was part of the wall. Its walls were 2.25 m thick. As this tower interrupts the line of the wall, one might suppose that it was a gatehouse, like that of Egmond Castle. The parts that were uncovered allowed archaeologists to calculate that the diameter of the circle would have been about 60 m. On the inside of the wall, clusters of foundation piles were found at regular intervals, see plan with excavations. Judging from the place and form of the clusters, these supported the foundation foots of buttresses, which supported a chemin de ronde. The piles stood in the peat ground, which explains the name Moermont. In the center of the terrain, two sides of a square building were uncovered. On its corner were vestiges of a stair tower. The configuration of the first castle is reminiscent of the polygonal Burcht of Voorne, which was built somewhat later. Even so, there are no indications that Moermond was a Motte-and-bailey castle like Voorne. After the excavations, the walls of the first castle were consolidated. They can now be seen at the edge of the other side of one of the current Moermond castle's moats. The Second castle The second castle stood south of the current castle on the same island. Its core was a tower house measuring 6 by 10 m on the inside. On the southeast side it had two round towers. On its western corner was a connected privy tower with waste funnel. This tower house dated from before 1339. The brick used in this building was repurposed brick from the first castle. From this tower house, a wall led to the northwest. Its connection to the current castle could not be clearly established in the 1950s. Another question that was not answered at the time, was the location of the wall that one might suppose to have to been located to the east of the wall that was found. At the northern edge of the second castle there was a gatehouse. It was built from re-used brick of the first castle. measuring 27.5-28.5 * 13.5-14.5 * 6.5–8 cm. When the third castle was built, this medieval gatehouse became its core. It led to the supposition that the current castle was a tower house that succeeded the first castle. A part of this misconception was solved when in 1957 the second castle was discovered. Later, the supposed tower house was investigated. The third and current castle The current castle was built in 1513 by changing the gatehouse of the second castle. This date is known from an inscription above the fireplace of the castle. It had the arms of the new owners, and the statement that it was the third time the castle was newly built. The first change was to close the gate openings on both sides. Next, the basement was vaulted, see picture. A square wing was then added on the southwest of the former gatehouse, also from repurposed brick. Somewhat later, this was expanded to the north and south. This was also when the southwest stair house was built, that is now topped with a shed roof. Some ceiling beams from the early 16th century still remain. In the 17th century, the octagonal stair tower and east wing were built in 1612. This created an inner courtyard, where the façade on the western side was also changed. The small renaissance gate south of it dates from 1613. Still somewhat later, the low annex southeast of it was built. The castle was repaired in 1751. In 1911 the castle was restored based on the plans of J. Hoogenboom. After the damage caused by the North Sea flood of 1953, the castle was again restored in 1958–1960. This was also when the three decorative little towers on the low wall around the castle were restored based on old pictures. The orangery was built in about 1840. The neoclassical façade remains. History Van Renesse The Lords of Renesse were might have been a younger branch of the Counts of Holland. Costijn van Zierikzee was the first lord of Renesse who can be clearly verified. In 1229 he exchanged his lands in Zierikzee for Floris IV, Count of Holland's lands in the western part of Schouwen with the exception of Burgh and Haamstede. Shortly after 1229 the round water castle at Moermond was built by order of Costijn. In 1244 Count William II of Holland visited Moermond Castle, where he issued a charter: ''. Costijn van Zierikzee / Renesse had at least two sons: Jan (c. 1250 - c. 1294) and Costijn. Jan rebelled against Holland. In 1289 he paid homage for Moermond Castle to Guy, Count of Flanders. In 1291 he was reconciled with Floris V, Count of Holland. Jan had: John III, Lord of Renesse (1268–1304), Hendrik and Costijn. Costijn, brother of the Jan who died in 1294, had a son called Jan van Haamstede, who died childless in 1295. It led to Haamstede Castle coming to the unrelated Witte van Haemstede in 1299. John III came into conflict with Wolfert I van Borselen (c. 1245–1299). It led to the Siege of Moermond Castle in 1297. Melis Stoke (c. 1235 – c. 1305) would write: After Wolfert I and John I, Count of Holland both died in 1299, Jan returned to Zeeland. In 1301 he rebelled against John II, Count of Holland, and in 1303 he joined the Flemish invasion of Holland and Utrecht. In 1304 he drowned while crossing the River Lek. Jan's defeat led to the Van Renesse family loosing control of Schouwen. In 1312 Hendrik and Costijn van Renesse gave their lands in Schouwen / Renesse to William III of Holland in exchange for the count's lands in West Baarland, Bakendorp and Oudelande. Van Haamstede In 1313 Witte van Haemstede (c. 1281–1321) got all the lands that used to belong to Jan III van Renesse and his brothers. He also got Haamstede, which had belonged to the Jan III's nephew, though he might have gotten Haamstede earlier (above). Witte thus reunited some of the domains that had belonged to Costijn van Zierikzee / Renesse. To all appearances Witte would have found an intact residence at Haamstede Castle, and only ruins at Renesse / Moermond. Witte changed his name to Van Haamstede and made it his residence. Witte had three sons: Floris I van Haamstede, Arnoud van Haamstede and Jan van Haamstede. In 1335 Witte's inheritance was split between on one side Floris and Jan, and on the other side Arnoud. Arnoud van Haamstede built the second Moermond Castle. Arnoud was killed somewhere between 1346 and 1349. The Van Haamstede's were firmly on the Hook side during the first years of the Hook and Cod wars. In 1351–1352 the Hook side lost the first round of these wars, which might have led to damage at Moermond Castle. Arnoud's daughter Margaret was still single in early 1351. She later married the Cod Lord Wouter van Heemskerk. By this, she was again on the losing side when Wouter's Marquette Castle was besieged and taken in 1358–1359. It is very well possible that Moermond Castle was also damaged at this time. In 1360 Margaret agreed to pay 7,000 shields to reconcile her husband with the count of Holland. In April 1361 Wouter van Heemskerk and Margaret of Moermond were allowed to make a polder in an area between Schouwen and Noord-Beveland. Wouter van Heemskerk died childless in 1380. To all appearances, Moermont then reverted to the main branch of the Van Haamstede's. In 1396 an Arnout van Moermont ende van Haemstede is mentioned. By 1500 Moermont Castle had become ruinous. Van Serooskerke Pieter van Tuyll Hugenzone (1430-1492) became Lord of Welland and Serooskerke in 1483. He then changed his name to Van Serooskerke. His son Jacob was a squire in 1500. He acquired Moermont, Stavenisse and Westkerke. In 1500 he married Jacqueline van den Eynde. In 1513 Jacob van Serooskerke turned the former gatehouse of the second castle into a country house. Jeronimus van Serooskerke (1500-1571) was the second Van Serooskerke owner of Moermond. He became burgrave of Zeeland in 1547, lieutenant admiral, and governor of Bergen op Zoom. He built Stavenisse Castle in 1653, so it's likely that from that time onward, Moermond was no longer the main residence of the family. Philibert van Serooskerke (1537-1579) was lord of Serooskerke, Popkensburg, Moermond and Stavenisse. He was also burgrave of Zeeland and governor of Bergen op Zoom. Hendrik van Tuyll van Serooskerke (1574-1627) was probably the last Van Serooskerke to own Moermond Castle. Hendrik was mayor of Tholen, deputy to the States General, and special envoy to England. In 1620 he was lord of Stavenisse, Tienhoven, and Rijnhuizen. In 1593 Caesar Porquin was mentioned as owner, he died in 1612. Van Zuidland and Van Wijngaarden In 1612 Iman van Zuidland (1585-1638), later mayor of Zierikzee, bought Moermont. Iman made many changes that gave the castle its current outlook of a 16-17th century mansion. Catharina van Zuidland, Iman's only child, married Daniël Oem van Wijngaarden in 1634. Daniël Oem van Wijngaarden (c. 1626–1688) was Baron of Wijngaarden, president of the Hof van Holland, member of the knighthood of Holland, member of the States General etc. Their second daughter Jacoba lady of Moermond died unmarried. Kemp Next came Pieter Kemp, Lord of Bommenede, Moermond and Zuidland. He married Anthonia Hoffer. Their daughter brought Moermond to Mr. van Schuilenburgh. In 1751 Pieter van Schuilenburgh (1714-1764) made large renovations, 'so that it could again accommodate a gentleman and his company'. He was married to the miniature portrait artist Maria Machteld van Sypesteyn (1724-1774), who signed as Schuylenburch a Moermont. In 1788 Cornelis Ascanius van Sijpesteyn was owner of Moermont. After the September 1787 Prussian invasion of Holland, Moermont was plundered by an Orangist mob. Van IJsselstein and Van Adrichem Later Moermond Castle was bought by the Van IJsselstein family, and the Van Adrichem family. In 1871 it was bought by mr. C. van der Lek de Clerq, notary in Zierikzee and member of the Dutch senate. In 1908 the then owner had structural renovations started by the architect Joh. Hoogenboom. These were finished in early 1911. The renovation was characterized by not being an attempt to return Moermont to e.g. its 1513 or 1613 state. Vriezendorp In 1910 Mr. J.J. Vriesendorp from Dordrecht bought Moermond Castle from Mr. J.F van der Lek de Clerq. In February 1911 a more final restoration was tendered and awarded for 9,506 guilders. In August 1917 an aerial bombardment just missed the castle, with some bombs landing in the garden. Vriesendorp was responsible for (re?)creating the wall around the moat. He stored a large collection of porcelain and arms at the castle. On 10 December 1944 there was a gruesome execution of 10 young men in the lawn of Moermond Castle. They had tried to evade forced labor in Germany, but were caught. They were then executed by hanging, as though they were criminals. The local population was forced to witness the execution, and the bodies were left to hang for 36 hours. The affair is known as 'The Ten of Renesse'. A monument stands near the entrance of the castle grounds. The North Sea flood of 1953 The 31 January North Sea flood of 1953 also inundated Schouwen. From the tower window Jacob Vriesendorp saw the water rushing towards the castle. He was able to save some small art work and silver by bringing it upstairs, but all the furniture, and even the paintings could not be saved. The sea water then ruined everything that was left, even the doors and woodwork, which were flooded with salt water for up to two meters on a daily basis. Moermond Castle Foundation In 1954 the (Moermond Castle foundation) was founded. Thanks to a 172,000 guilders gift from Sweden, the castle was restored. 1956 Renovation In November 1956 the remnants of the first Moermont Castle were found, see above. In February 1957 the remnants of the second castle were discovered. Outward Bound In 1960 the Dutch branch of Outward Bound decided to found a school at Moermond Castle. This was supported by major Dutch companies, and a gift from the Bernard Van Leer Foundation. Cost was 300 guilders per person for a course of one month. The Outward Bound School took a 10-year lease on Moermond Castle. In 1961 Lieutenant-Colonel J.H. Ranst, a commando officer became headmaster of the school. At first the very physical training paid by major companies raised suspicion, especially on the left and Christian side. During the 1960s program at Moermond evolved from character‐training to personal growth and self‐discovery. While the groups were first led by sports instructors, these were replaced by social workers during the late 1960s. In 1971, Outward Bound left Moermond, because the location cost them 50,000 a year. Buitencentrum Moermond In 1972 the foundations for harbor schooling in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and three transport labor unions, founded the Buitencentrum Moermond foundation, which then leased Moermont Castle. They wanted to use it for schooling young port workers, training, and conferences. The castle was then refurbished for this purpose. The orangery was also taken in use, and a separate sleeping accommodation was built. The schooling of labor union men took place in boarding school style. The employer organizations also used Moermond for their activities. The activities at Moermond were paid by a social foundation , which got less money during the 1970s. In 1977 the labor unions then decided to quit Moermond. The Oosterscheldekering (1979-1986) In 1979 Moermond Castle was rented for workers that constructed the Oosterscheldekering. During the construction of the dam, Moermond was used by engineers to make plans. Moermond was also used to receive the many guests that visited the Delta Works. This period ended in late 1986. Congrescentrum Slot Moermond In 1987 the castle became known as Congrescentrum Slot Moermond. In 1990 the orangery was changed to get a breakfast room, two conference rooms, and 34 two-person bedrooms, instead of the single rooms which had been used by the workers on the dam. The castle itself continued in use for seminars and courses, as well as lunch and dinner. Fletcher Hotels On 1 December 2013 the hotel became part of Fletcher Hotels. Fletcher advertises the hotel as Fletcher Landgoed Hotel Renesse. It consists of a restaurant in the Orangery, and a building next to it. The castle is also managed by Fletcher, but it's not an integral part of the hotel. It can be hired for meetings, parties, congresses, and is a very popular wedding location in Zeeland. The castle grounds are freely accessible. They form a 45 hectares nature preserve.

The 1978 New York City newspaper strike was a labor strike within the newspaper industry of New York City which ran from August 10, 1978, to November 5, 1978, lasting for a total of 88 days. Shut down were the city's three major newspapers: The New York Times, New York Daily News and New York Post. The multi-union strike was led by pressmen and halted production of the three papers, with no editions being published since August 9, 1978. Other unions walking out included those for machinists, paperhandlers, truck mechanics, and drivers. The strike had occurred due to the three newspapers each issuing new work rulings which significantly decreased requirements concerning the level of staffing. Unlike in many strikes, wage levels themselves were not a major issue. More than 10,000 employees were either striking or out of work due to supporting one of the striking unions. During negotiations, Theodore W. Kheel served as an unofficial mediator between the two sides, and played an important role in talks eventually making progress. On October 5, the Post resumed publication when Rupert Murdoch, its owner and publisher, signed an agreement with the pressmen, however, the Daily News and the Times were still not being produced. Murdoch's agreement essentially said that the Post would abide by whatever terms would be eventually worked out between the unions and the other two papers. The Post had been shut down for 56 days. During the outage, several strike papers popped into existence, being sold on newsstands and with bylines from the three regular papers; these included The City News, The New York Daily Press, and The New York Daily Metro. One existing paper that momentarily benefited during this time was Unification Church-owned The News World, which had been launched in 1976 and reached its highest-ever circulation of 400,000 during the strike, where again some well-known reporters for the three closed papers wrote for it. Two months into the strike, a parody of The New York Times called Not The New York Times was distributed in the city, with contributors such as Carl Bernstein, Christopher Cerf, Tony Hendra and George Plimpton. Contrary to initial expectations, New York businesses such as restaurants, theaters, hotels, and retail stores did not suffer during the strike, finding alternate ways to advertise their presence and offerings. What is sometimes claimed as an unanticipated consequence of the strike was the turnaround in the 1978 New York Yankees season, wherein the team, once trailing the Boston Red Sox of that year by 14 games, turned things around in a late-season push and eventually won a dramatic tie-breaker game against the Red Sox and then ultimately won the 1978 World Series. Those Yankees were full of volatile personalities, including owner George Steinbrenner, oft-hired, oft-fired manager Billy Martin, and slugger Reggie Jackson, as well as a number of other entertaining players with colorful nicknames, and the battles within the Yankee organization often consumed attention of the daily papers and especially the tabloid headlines of the News and the Post. Once the papers went on strike, so the conjecture goes, the press distractions diminished and the team could focus on playing well. At the time, a Yankees representation noted that "We've heard that theory, but we started our winning streak when the papers were still publishing." Nonethless, the belief that the newspaper strike enabled the team's turnaround was still being given credit decades later, and in 2018 caused longtime sportswriter and Red Sox historian Gordon Edes to wonder if the newspaper strike had been a bigger villain than "Bucky Bleepin' Dent" in the annals of Red Sox fandom pain. The New York Times resumed publication along with the Daily News on November 6, 1978, after 88 days of non-production. The newspapers reached an agreement with the unions representing the pressmen. The agreement preserved some 1,500 existing jobs of the pressmen, but allowed management to reduce staffing going forward through attrition and elimination of some overtime. Upon finally reaching agreement, both acknowledged that compromises had been made and said there had been "no victors" in the outcome. In particular, it was not a clear victory for management as had happened with the end of the 1975–1976 Washington Post pressmen's strike, a result the unions were striving to avoid in this case. Short-term, the strike cost the newspapers an estimated $150 million in lost advertising and circulation revenue, while workers lost around $60 million in wages not earned (although union strike benefits and state unemployment insurance covered much of that for individual employees). Longer-term, the strike coincided with the advent of technological changes that, initially, would take away the pressmen's jobs via newsroom automation, and later, would undermine the economic model of the newspaper industry altogether.

Choo Seung-gyun (born December 6, 1974) is a South Korean retired professional basketball player and coach. He spent his entire 15-year playing career with Korean Basketball League team Jeonju KCC Egis, who retired his number 4 jersey. After a brief stint in coaching, he became a SPOTV commentator and covers KBL matches. Early life Choo is a native of Busan. Unlike many of his illustrious contemporaries, he did not attend a notable basketball high school in Seoul, nor did he come from a college basketball powerhouse such as Yonsei or Korea University. He attended Jungang High School in Busan and moved to Seoul where he played for Hanyang University. Playing career College As one of the region's biggest prospects, Choo was widely expected to attend Yonsei University or Korea University and raised eyebrows by choosing Hanyang University instead. In a 2012 interview, he stated that the decision was due to his desire to play more regularly and that neither Yonsei nor Korea University could guarantee him playing time as a freshman. In the 1997 National Basketball Festival, he went on to become the competition's top scorer, beating the likes of Seo Jang-hoon (Yonsei) and Hyun Joo-yup (Korea). At that time, the duopoly of Yonsei University and Korea University was dominating college competitions and, partly due to Hanyang's poor results, Choo was often overshadowed by the likes of Seo, Hyun, Woo Ji-won, Shin Ki-sung and Chun Hee-chul. Professional Choo's career coincided with the founding of the professional Korean Basketball League in 1997. He was signed by Daejeon Hyundai Dynat, which was later taken over by affiliate KCC Corporation and is now Jeonju KCC Egis. Together with Lee Sang-min and Cho Sung-won, Choo was the mainstay of the "Hyundai dynasty" which dominated the league during its early years. Choo announced his retirement at the end of the 2011–12 season. His number 4 jersey was retired by the club. During his final season as a player, he reached the career benchmark of 10,000 points and made the play-offs for a record 13th time. National team Choo participated in the 1998 FIBA World Cup and the 1998 and 2002 Asian Games. Coaching career After retiring as a player, Choo remained at Jeonju KCC Egis as a member of the coaching staff under Hur Jae, having previously played under him. He took over Hur as head coach in 2015. Choo's first season was a success as he led them to the play-off finals and first place in the league table. However, his next season was plagued by injury to key players and Jeonju KCC Egis finished at the bottom of the league. The 2018–19 season did not begin any better and he voluntarily resigned in November 2018, fourteen games into the season. At the time of his resignation, Jeonju KCC Egis was 7th in the league table. Other activities Choo joined SPOTV as a commentator in January 2021. He mainly covers weekend KBL games. Choo runs a YouTube channel called ChooSama TV (추사마 TV), "ChooSama" being the nickname given to him by fans during his playing days. He mainly discusses current events in the KBL, basketball tactics and players. Personal life Choo married Lee Yoon-jung in 2004. The couple have two sons.

Grosvenor Road Studios (GRS), formerly known as Hollick and Taylor Studios, is a suite of recording studios in Handsworth, Birmingham, England. It is the oldest extant recording studio in the city. The studios are in a former five-bedroomed house, 16 Grosvenor Road, which was built in 1872. From 1945 the house was occupied by a married couple, John R. and Joan Taylor, who developed a recording studio there shortly after arriving. The studios became known as Hollick & Taylor when John set up a partnership with Charles Hollick, an engineer. Both Noddy Holder (with Steve Brett & the Mavericks) and John Bonham (with The Senators) made their first recordings at Grosvenor Road. It was also used by Spencer Davis. Other bands to record there include The Applejacks, The Fortunes, The Moody Blues, The Move, The Rockin' Berries, Steel Pulse, Carl Wayne and the Vikings, and Pat Wayne & The Beachcombers, and others that were part of the city's Brum Beat movement. Jeff Wayne used the studios in 1971 or 1972 to record music for an Ansells beer television commercial, with Chris Spedding on guitar. The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band recorded their UK No. 2 hit "The Floral Dance" there, and Jasper Carrott's double A-side comedy single "Funky Moped"/"Magic Roundabout", a UK Top 5 chart hit, was produced by Jeff Lynne, with Bev Bevan on drums and backing vocals on the former track. Comedian Ken Dodd recorded his radio shows at GRS, and the actors Gordon Jackson, John le Mesurier and John Nettles all made recordings there. Cliff Richard used the studio to launch his 1976 I'm Nearly Famous album. Studio clients also included school orchestras, brass bands, military bands, and cathedral choirs. Test pressings and performers' self-funded records were released on the Hollick & Taylor label, with some commercial releases - including a 1972 release by the Bert Weedon Quartet - on the Grosvenor label. Working together in the studio, John and Joan Taylor also made foley recordings for film and television, including the Gerry Anderson series Thunderbirds and Stingray. Dubbing was also done there including for the 1961 film The Guns of Navarone. The name Grosvenor Recording Studio Complex was adopted after Hollick's death. Eventually, the Taylor's sons, Christopher and Richard, were brought into the business. In 2003 John and Joan Taylor retired to Peterborough and the studios were acquired by Black Voices as a social enterprise, managed by a voluntary board. In 2008, £1.5 million in grant funding enabled a major refurbishment. The same year the gardens were redeveloped as a community facility, and in November a sculpture of a peony seed pod, by Juginder Lamba in Shropshire oak, was unveiled by Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. For a period from its refurbishment the studio operated under the name Centre for Music & Arts Technology. As of 2015, the complex had three studios - the largest accommodating up to 50 performers - and was still using its 1950s microphones.

He is developing predictive models of the virulence of foodborne pathogens, using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Goodrich has warned that the incidence of food-related illnesses is increasing as temperatures rise and more extreme weather events occur due to climate change. He also reports that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is using whole genome sequencing to identify and track the sources of contaminated food and to increase the safety of the Canadian food supply. Goodrich uses wastewater testing as a community-level indicator for monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and other diseases. He combines data from wastewater analysis with social media syndromic analysis, which studies the social media usage of those who report online that they feel ill.

Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon (born January 18, 1968) is an Israeli Religious Zionist rabbi, author, lecturer and Posek who serves as rabbi of the Gush Etzion Regional Council and the Ashkenazi Synagogue of Alon Shvut Darom. He is Rosh Yeshiva of the Jerusalem College of Technology (Machon Lev) and a Rosh Kollel at Yeshivat Har Etzion. Biography Yosef Zvi Rimon was born in Tel Aviv to Rita and David Rimon, the son of the poet Yosef Zvi Rimon, after whom he is named. He grew up in Tel Aviv, where he attended the Moriah School. He also attended Mechina in Givat Shmuel. He then studied at the Netiv Meir Yeshiva in Jerusalem for high school, and in 1986 he attended Yeshivat Har Etzion which was headed by Rav Yehuda Amital and Rav Aharon Lichtenstein. He served in the Armored Corps as part the Hesder system at Yeshivat Har Etzion. He was in a tank unit in the 188th Armored Brigade and described his army service as "a time that was at times exhausting and challenging, but also constructive and empowering." He subsequently completed a Bachelor of Education degree at Herzog College. When Yeshivat HaHesder Yerucham was founded in 1993, Rav Rimon began to teach Halacha there. About a year later he married Sharon Blumenzweig, the daughter of Yerucham’s Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Eliyahu Blumenzweig. In 1995, he became a Ram at Yeshivat Har Etzion, and at the same time gave Shiurim to all yeshiva students on various halakhic topics. In 2000 he was appointed as head of the Yeshiva's Kollel Halacha. Today, Rav Rimon serves as the rabbi of the Ashkenazi synagogue of Alon Shvut Darom and teaches at Yeshivat Har Etzion, its sister school, Migdal Oz, and Herzog College. In addition, Rabbi Rimon heads the "Sulamot" association (formerly the "Halacha and Education Center"), which he founded. Sulamot deals with three main areas: Judaism, education and experience. In each area, the association deals with the promotion and refinement of Jewish content, in pedagogical aspects (writing halakhic content, creating study materials for education systems, etc.), in the experiential aspects (developing innovative learning systems, experiential secondary learning and in creating and strengthening ties with Jewish communities around the world. Rav Rimon leads the children and youth television series "Ratzim LaMishnah" and appears in the series on a regular basis. Following the Israeli disengagement from Gaza, many of the Israeli families who had been evicted were left without homes and/or jobs. Rav Rimon became involved with the rehabilitation of the evacuees and founded the LaOfek association (also called Taasoktif and JobKatif). At first, the association was engaged in finding jobs for Gush Katif residents. For its activism, the association was awarded the Ot Hanasi Lamitnadev (the President's Volunteer Award) for 2008. Since 2009, the association has been working in cooperation with the government bodies in charge of the rehabilitation of the displaced, and is funded by 75% of its expenses. Today, the association is engaged in activities to promote underprivileged populations, finding jobs for soldiers, assisting Lone Soldiers and in special projects in Israeli society; it provides employment coaching and counseling, business mentoring, professional retraining courses, academic scholarships and other services. In 2020 the Gush Etzion Regional Council decided to search for its first head Rabbi. After a year-long process in which the general public nominated candidates, a committee of rabbis and public leaders from the area submitted their recommendations and Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon was elected as Gush Etzion’s first Chief rabbi. A popular lecturer, Rav Rimon is frequently invited by communities in Israel, North America, the UK and Australia. Awards and Positions Moskowitz Prize for Zionism (2014) Rabbi of the Jerusalem College of Technology and head of its Batei Midrash (May 2015) Katz Prize for the Application of Halacha in Modern Society (2018) Rabbi of the Gush Etzion Regional Council (2021) Writing Style Rav Rimon's Sifrei halakhah are written in a way that is structured in "tracing [from] the sources to the practical application of Halacha in our modern reality." In his books, the halakhic sources are presented, sometimes from the Talmud and the Rishonim, sometimes only from the Achronim, depending on the subject. This approach, which stands in contrast to various halakhic books that bring only final rulings, tries to give the learner tools for understanding halakhah even in cases that are not directly addressed in halakhic rulings. His best-known book, "Halacha MiMekorah - Tzava" (Halacha From Its Source - Army), a Halachic work for soldiers fighting in a Jewish army, a subject which became much more practical with the creation of the Jewish State, was published in 2010. He is a well known for his expertise on Shemitah, a topic which also became much more focused on with the gathering and return of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, and a topic for which he has been repeatedly invited to speak about in the Knesset. He has also written a Pesach Haggadah and a Yom Kippur Machzor. Personal life Rav Rimon is married to Sharon Blumenzweig, daughter of Rabbi Eliyahu Blumenzweig, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Yerucham. They live in Alon Shvut and have eight children.

The Presentation Children's Home is a historic building at 701 South Western Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It functioned as an orphanage—one of the few in South Dakota—and school from its construction in 1939 to its closure in 1965. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. History Orphans in eastern South Dakota had originally been homed at the Little Flower orphanage and school in Turton, north of Sioux Falls. However, when this orphanage burned down in 1932, the approximately 70 orphans living there were left homeless and were shuffled between various buildings in the subsequent years. Although an orphanage in Sioux Falls—the South Dakota Children's Home—already existed, there was not enough space available to comfortably accommodate the new children. The Presentation Order of Sisters, a Roman Catholic mission, founded the Presentation's Children Home in 1939 to provide them a permanent shelter. Construction was aided by the Works Progress Administration, and local architectural firm Hugill & Blatherwick designed the building. About 90 children were housed there at any one time. The orphanage hosted children from the ages of 4 to 14, with a few exceptions, such as when deemed necessary by the board to host a younger child to keep a family together. The home provided not just shelter but also education up to the eighth grade. Classes were held at 9 a.m. and lasted until 3:30 p.m., with a break for lunch. Upon finishing the eighth grade or turning 14, students were sent to local schools to further their education. Boys who could not return home to a relative were sent to Boys Town in Omaha, Nebraska; girls were kept at high schools in the local area. The home also had both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts troops. The South Dakota American Legion held toy drives and other charity events for both Presentation Children's Home and South Dakota Children's Home. In 1965, the Presentation Sisters decided the orphanage was no longer needed and the home was closed. It was later used as a college building for the Southeastern Vocational Technical Institute. On February 10, 1993, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and status as a Works Progress Administration build. Architecture The Presentation Children's Home employs elements of Collegiate Gothic architecture, a subcategory of Gothic Revival architecture. It sits on a concrete foundation at the corner of South Western Avenue and 15th Street in central Sioux Falls and faces east. Originally laid out in an H-pattern, its side wings protrude out past its main body. It is three stories tall; the first floor's exterior is encased in eight-course concrete blocks, while the second and third stories are crafted from bonded red bricks up to its concrete-capped parapet. The main entrance protrudes from the front façade; an arched doorway leads to a set of recessed doors, above with is a block of concrete carved with circlular motifs. The concrete extends up to the second-floor windows and double as sills; those windows on the third story have separate thin concrete sills. The simple rectangular windows are symmetrical on each face. Pillars extend up the corners of the building's faces and feature triangular concrete buttresses at the bottom of each floor. Built on a hill, the building has two entrances; the back entrance on its west side is actually the basement. Additionally, a concrete retaining wall runs along the east and north sides of the yard, interspersed with Sioux quartzite columns capped in more concrete. The western face includes two extensions as well as a brick chimney. Its flat roof is made of tar and gravel.

The Tauy Jones House in Ottawa, Kansas is a historic building that was the home of John Tecumseh “Tauy” Jones, who was of half Chippewa heritage and served as an interpretor for the Pottawatomie, a leader and minister for the Ottawa tribe, a friend of John Brown, and a co-founder of Ottawa University. The sandstone house was built in 1863 to 1867 on the site of Tauy Jones' 1843 log trading post and hotel which was destroyed by pro-slavery arsonists in 1856 who were attempting to kill Jones. The stone was quarried near Fort Scott, Kansas and transported by wagon. John Brown often stayed nearby in the grove on the other side of the creek. There were unverified legends that the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad and that Abraham Lincoln slept at the house, however, it is verified Horace Greeley did visit the Jones family. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1972. References National Register of Historic Places in Franklin County, Kansas Buildings and structures completed in 1863
Southern Exposure is an album by the American musician Maceo Parker. It was released in 1993. Although marketed as a jazz album, Parker considered it to be "98%" funk. The album peaked at No. 33 on Billboard'''s Jazz Albums chart. Production The album was produced by Stephan Meyner and Parker. The Rebirth Brass Band played on the album, as did Leo Nocentelli and George Porter Jr. of the Meters. Parker's ex-bandmates Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis played trombone and tenor saxophone, respectively. The album was recorded in New Orleans. Critical receptionThe Boston Globe praised the "stripped-bare style of vintage New Orleans funk." The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "Parker works simple blues phrases into a spitfiring fury." The Calgary Herald stated that the "music is rooted in the chattering percussion and jerky rhythms of New Orleans, with heavy emphasis on the blues." The Indianapolis Star'' noted that "on Joe Zawinul's 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy', a favorite cover of black college bands, Parker and the Rebirth Brass Band add their own Dixieland swagger, the tempo maintained nicely by Philip Frazier's rumbling tuba." AllMusic wrote that "Parker's alto sounds close to Hank Crawford at times but with a phrasing of his own." Track listing References Maceo Parker albums 1993 albums Novus Records albums

ware is a type of Persian pottery developed in Sultanabad, Iran, during the course of Ilkhanid rule in Persia. Background The Mongolians conquered Persia during the early 13th century. In 1258, they sacked the Abbasid capital of Baghdad, establishing the Ilkhanate state. The Ilkhanate period (1258-1339) marked the introduction of a number of stylistic, iconographic and decorative innovations in ceramics. Which were influenced by Chinese ceramics and Far Eastern textiles. Technical proficiency also increased through the interaction of craftsmen from different traditions working jointly on Mongolian projects. Ware A 1930s archeological survey of villages in the vicinity of Sultanabad, Iran uncovered that the region was a major center of Ilkhanid ceramic industry. Ilkhanid ceramics distinguished by their heavy potting, along with thick translucent glaze were henceforth called Sultanabad ware. Sultanabad ware includes Colored Ground wares, ʿErāq wares, Black underglaze painted turquoise glazed wares, as well as blue and black Panel wares. Common motifs in Sultanabad ware include stylized blue and green foliage, pheasants or other birds, hares, deer. Mongol figures (often wearing feather caps) are rather more rare. The use of pseudo-inscriptions around the rims of the vessels and the Mongolian decorative themes, hint at the fact that the buyers of those wares were Turco-Mongolians. Although produced on a large scale, detailed and well preserved pieces are rare. ʿErāq wares showcasing the introduction of a pale blue underglaze colorants being a notable example.

Paul J. Kosmin is a historian of the Hellenistic period, the centuries after the conquests of Alexander the Great that saw the spread of Greek culture and language across the Eastern Mediterranean and western Asia. His main focus is the Seleucid Empire, the Greek successor state (diadochi) that ruled Syria, Babylonia, Persia, and various adjoining regions at its height. He is a professor of Classics at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Biography Kosmin attended Balliol College at Oxford University and graduated with a degree in Ancient and Modern History. He did his graduate program at Harvard University, where he completed a Ph.D. in Ancient History and wrote his dissertation on the Seleucid Empire. Afterward, he attained an associate professorship in the Classics department at Harvard in 2012, and was given the named professorship of John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities in 2014. In 2014, he published The Land of the Elephant Kings: Space, Territory, and Ideology in the Seleucid Empire, a popular adaptation of his dissertation on how the Seleucid Empire controlled its territory. In 2018, he published Time and Its Adversaries in the Seleucid Empire, a book on the Seleucid era, the Ancient Macedonian calendar, the cultural impact of timekeeping in the Hellenistic world, and related topics. Time and Its Adversaries was a joint winner of the Runciman Award in 2019. Kosmin has since collaborated with Andrea Berlin, a Professor of Archeology at Boston University, on several volumes of scholarly research. The two edited Spear-Won Land: Sardis from the King's Peace to the Peace of Apamea in 2019. Spear-Won Land is a compilation of journal articles and research on the city of Sardis in Asia Minor while it was under Seleucid rule until the Peace of Apamea, which saw it transferred to the Roman-allied Kingdom of Pergamon. In 2021, Kosmin and Berlin edited a collection of articles on the latest archeological findings and scholarship on the final stages of the Maccabean Revolt and the early Hasmonean kingdom, The Middle Maccabees: Archaeology, History, and the Rise of the Hasmonean Kingdom. Kosmin was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2021.

The Map of the Duke of Noja is a topographic map of city of Naples and its environs, created in 1775. It was the primary topographic and urban planning tool for Naples between the 17th and 19th centuries. The map was an important cartographic and urban planning tool for the city, an embellished art piece, and has been used even recently, for example, to document the genesis and original layout of a group of over one hundred twenty 18th and 19th century Villas, partly located in Herculaneum and Torre del Greco, collectively known as the Vesuvian Villas of the Golden Mile. History The commissioning of the cartographic study depicting Naples and its environs dates to April 29, 1750, when the Tribunal of Electors of San Lorenzo entrusted its execution to Giovanni Carafa, Duke of Noja. The work relied technically on the skilled land surveyor Vanti. Originally projected to take two and half years, in reality the work took much longer. The use of the Plane table (tavoli praetorian) made the Noja Map the first true map of the Naples, it's underlying data was based on rigorous survey and topographical accuracy and was much closer to reality than were the bird's-eye views of previous centuries. When Carafa died 1768, the project was not complete and passed to the direction of Giovanni Pignatelli, prince of Monteroduni, who in turn enlisted the aid of architect Gaetano Brunzuoli, as technical superintendent. Brunuoili, who was at the time completing the construction of the Duke of Noja's house. Brunzuoli's work updated the mapping to depict the urban changes that had occurred over the course of the work. The cartography was completed in 1775 and was accompanied by a topographical index created by Nicola Carletti, professor of architecture and mathematics at the University of Naples and architect of the city of Naples. The first hundred copies were made by the royal printer Vittorio Barbacci, while subsequent copies were published by the Roman printer, Antonio Cenci. The cartography was sold to the for ten ducats per copy. Subsequently, the price reduced to six ducates to facilitate its propagation — which was however very limited by the high cost of reproduction. Interactive Map of the Duke of Nojo The map The map combines 35 plates into a single large image, each plate made by impression on copper by engravers Giuseppe Aloja, Gaetano Cacace, Pietro Campana and Francesco Lamarra. The depiction dispenses with axonometry and any form of elevation, showing instead the city and surrounding area in a completely orthogonal projection that extends to the ground plans of individual buildings. The sheer size of the immense final map is 5,016 meters wide x 2,376 meters high and its graphic scale was 1:3808. In addition to its purpose as a topographical document, the map was also intended as an objet d'art. An inset over the Bay of Naples features a large panoramic drawing of Naples and below that a large legend references 580 detailed historical and artistic points of interest. The upper part of the map presents the title, the dedication to Charles III on the left, and a collection of the coats of arms, divided by seat, of 134 Neapolitan noble families, as well as the royal coat of arms. The importance of the map is linked both to its accurate depiction of the urban changes that took place in the city of Naples and its environs during the reign of Charles of Bourbon and his son Ferdinand IV, but also its role as an urban planning tool. In the latter role, certain projected buildings were represented conjecturally, and do not necessarily align with their final form. The Naples Royal Hospice for the Poor (L'Albergo Reale dei Poveri), for example, an immense structure begun in 1751 by Ferdinando Fuga, intended to house and support the poor of the Kingdom of Naples, is shown in plan view as it was designed, as a rectangule, 600 meters long and 150 meters wide. In reality, its construction was interrupted in 1819 when the facility had only reached a length of 384 meters. Nonetheless, the desire to provide the Kingdom with an tool for urban planning is noteworthy, tending, in Carafa's own words, to provide a "geometric delineation of the city."

Gloria Rojas (April 1, 1939 – February 2, 2022) was an American journalist. She was one of the first Latina broadcast journalists in New York City as well as one of the few journalists who has worked for each of the Big Four television networks network owned-and-operated stations in the New York metropolitan area. Early life and education Rojas was born on April 1, 1939, in the Bronx to Agustina Rojas, who was a housekeeper and nanny, and Rafael Astolfo Rojas, who died when Rojas was 10. Rojas graduated Hunter College High School and attended the State University of New York at Albany, where she received a degree in education. In 1968, she joined a summer program for minority students—the only one of its kind at the time—at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, where she would later study journalism as a graduate student. Career Before going into television, Rojas was a school teacher who taught middle school and high school students. In 1964, Rojas made her television debut on public television station WNDT (now known as WNET) where she presented a bilingual education program at the station, where its audience included Spanish-speaking audiences learning English as well as English-speaking audiences learning Spanish. In 1968, Rojas began her career in journalism at WCBS-TV, where she worked as a reporter trainee with the station. She would later work at WLS-TV in Chicago and then WNEW-TV (now WNYW) in New York. In 1974, Rojas was hired by WABC-TV news director Al Primo, who had previously brought the Eyewitness News format and title to New York City. The hiring of female reporters like Rojas also helped contribute to the success of the station; many stations in the 1970s saw a growing trend of hiring female reporters and eventually anchors in newscasts. While working at the station, she also worked with Geraldo Rivera and Gil Noble in co-hosting Like It Is. Rojas helped launch the career of Rivera when she told him that WABC was looking to hire a bilingual reporter. She would remain with the station as its New Jersey correspondent until 1986, when she went to work for WNBC. Rojas retired in 1991. Later life and death In 2012, Rojas moved to Maryland. She would later publish a fictional memoir titled Fire Escapes. Rojas died on February 2, 2022, in a nursing home at Cambridge, Maryland, at the age of 82 from complications of cancer and kidney failure.

Paste bracketing, or bracketed paste mode, is a feature of some terminal emulators which, when enabled, causes text pasted into the terminal to be bracketed by special control sequences, to allow the program running in the terminal receiving the text to treat it differently from text typed normally. Motivation Paste bracketing is used to resolve the following issue, commonly encountered when editing code in a terminal text editor (such as Vim or Emacs). These text editors often include autoindent functionality, which causes indentation to be added automatically when the user presses the enter key at the end of a line. For example, suppose we are editing the following code block in a text editor, with the cursor position marked by the \| character.def f(): print('foo')\|If the user presses enter, text editors will often advance the cursor to the location marked in the next code block.def f(): print('foo') \|This can have unintended consequences when pasting code which is already formatted. For example, suppose the user intends to copy the following block of code into a file.def g(): print('hello') print('world')In a typical workflow, the user starts by selecting the block of code and copying it to their system clipboard. Then, they select the target location in their file, and issue a paste command. The terminal emulator then send the characters from the clipboard to the text editor, and the text editor may not be able to differentiate between, for example, a d character that came from the clipboard and one which came from the user pressing the D key on her keyboard. The newlines in the code block are treated the same way as would be presses of the enter key by the user. So, when the newline at the end of the first line is sent to the text editor, if autoindent is enabled, the text editor will insert an indent (several spaces or a tab character). Next, the terminal emulator will transmit the space characters corresponding to the spaces at the beginning of the second line of the block of code on the clipboard, resulting in double-indentation. Furthermore, in this context, typical autoindent behavior would be to match the indentation level of the second line when starting the third, which would result in the third line being triple-indented. The final result might look something like the following.def g(): print('hello') print('world') Description of paste bracketing Terminal emulators (such as iTerm2 and Xterm) allow programs to configure the terminal emulators' behavior via escape codes, or control sequences. The usual way this is done is that a user program prints a control sequence to standard out, and the terminal emulator reads standard out, notices the control sequence, and reacts as appropriate. In particular, terminal emulators may provide control sequences that turn paste bracketing on and off.

The Berlin Concerts is a two-LP live album by Eric Dolphy. It was recorded on August 30, 1961, at two separate venues in Berlin, Germany, and was released by Inner City Records and Enja Records in 1978. The album was recorded during Dolphy's second visit to Europe, and documents two Südwestfunk (SWF) sessions. Four of the tracks ("Hot House", "When Lights Are Low", "Hi-Fly", and "I'll Remember April" (mistitled as "I'll Remember You")) were recorded at the Club Jazz Salon. The remaining tracks ("G.W." (mistitled as "Geewee"), "God Bless the Child", and "245" (mistitled as "The Meeting")) were recorded at the Funkturm Exhibition Hall. The recordings feature Dolphy on alto sax, bass clarinet, and flute, Benny Bailey on trumpet, Pepsi Auer on piano, George Joyner on bass, and Buster Smith on drums. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "This two-LP set features the great multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy mostly stretching out on standards, coming up with very original statements... With trumpeter Benny Bailey helping out on half of the selections along with a strong rhythm section, the two-fer would be a perfect introduction for listeners not familiar with Eric Dolphy's innovative style, but this set is very difficult to find." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, and stated that it is "poignant as a first sign of Dolphy 'going single', working the more open European scene with pick-up bands. This one was better than most, not just because Bailey's tense, boppish sound occasionally recalls [Booker] Little, but also because Auer and Smith lean hard on the beat and push things along briskly... A curiosity, and a significant one in the foreshortened Dolphy canon, but certainly not one for casual buyers."

Nella Nobili was a poetess and writer born in Bologna in 1926 and died in 1985 in Cachan. She is considered a representative of proletarian literature. She wrote in French and Italian, notably about factory work and the woman homosexual love. Biography Nella Nobili was born in 1926 in Bologna. Coming from a modest background, she left school at the age of twelve to work in a factory, first in a ceramics workshop, then at fourteen as a glassblower. It was as a self-taught person that she began to develop a link with writing and poetry. During breaks after work, she wrote her first texts and avidly read everything she could find: Italian poetry, but also Rainer Maria Rilke and Emily Dickinson. She met Giorgio Morandi, to whom she dedicated the poem Landscape in 1926. After the World War II, she came into contact with the artistic and literary circles of Bologna in the immediate post-war period. She met the painter Aldo Borgonzoni (1913-2004): she assiduously frequented his studio in via Saragozza. She met the director of "Giornale della Sera" Giuseppe Galasso. She frequented the house of Renata Viganò and in Via Mascarella, where intellectuals such as Pier Paolo Pasolini and Sibilla Aleramo, former partisans and students met. At the Caffé Zanarini in Piazza Galvani, then a meeting place for left-wing activists, she met Enrico Berlinguer, the future secretary of the Communist Party. In 1949, she moved to Rome. There she met anti-fascist groups, artists and writers and she began to gain recognition and support, notably from Elsa Morante and Michel Ragon. Working in a workshop in her youth, as a nurse's aide during the war and later as the head of a cufflink company, Nella Nobili published poems related to the world of the factory (La jeune fille à l'usine, 1978), which earned her recognition as a representative of proletarian literature. But in Rome, she felt that she was being “paraded around like a little monster dressed as a worker-poet” and, disenchanted, she left for France. Nobili arrived in Paris in 1953, where she remained for the rest of her life. There she made handicrafts with miniature works of art using the self-invented cold-casting method. She began writing in French in the 1960s. She published collections of poems and books, including Les femmes et l'amour homosexuel, with her co-author, Édith Zha, in 1979, which brought together testimonies, reflections and documentation on female homosexual love. She published in magazines such as Sorcières and corresponded with figures such as Giorgio Morandi, Michel Ragon, Bernard Noël, Claire Etcherelli and Henri Thomas. In 1975, Simone de Beauvoir, one of her detractors, judged her writing to be clumsy, inexperienced and improvised, and this judgement was very painful for the poetess. She committed suicide at the age of 59, in 1985, in Cachan. Works I quaderni della fabbrica (The factory's notebooks), 1948. Legacy Her works have been partly translated by Marie-José Tramuta, professor at the University of Caen Normandy. His archives are kept by the Institut mémoires de l'édition contemporaine. In September 2018, her compositions were read and performed by Drusilla Foer as part of Il Tempo delle Donne, the event organised by Corriere della Sera at the Milan Triennale.

Kwiatowa street is a short pathway in downtown Bydgoszcz, presenting several architectural buildings erected during a period stretching from the end of the 19th century to the 1930s. Location The street links Pomorska Street in the east to Sienkiewicza Street in the west. Its path is parallel to Chrobrego and Cieszkowskigo Streets. History Kwiatowa street only appeared in the maps of then Bromberg in 1886, where, according to the address book of the time, only one plot was built. The development of the area occurred rather slowly compared to other streets in the district: most of the parcels were constructed only by 1920. During its existence, the street's name switched between German and Polish: till 1920 and from 1939 to 1945 "Blumenstraße"; in 1920–1939 and after 1945, "Ulica Kwiatowa". In both languages, the name refers to Flower street (), (). Main areas and edifices Tenement at 1, corner with 35 Pomorska Street 1897–1899, by Fritz Weidner Eclecticism & forms of Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau Hermann Schulz, a wealthy baker, charged Fritz Weidner to design his habitation, which initial address was Rinkauerstraße 22-23. A thorough refurbishment has been carried out in 2015 by a real estate firm. Architecturally, the facade echoes the style of corner house with Podolska street, at the southern part of Pomorska street. The façade of the building is decorated with reliefs, floral stucco ornaments and putti. Arched windows, loggias, balconies flanked by massive columns richly adorn the elevation. One can underline the detailed low-relief of Demeter with Cupid as a putto on the first floor, testifying to the wealth of original owner (H. Schulz): as a baker, the image of the goddess of corn, grain, and harvest could be the only patron. Tenement at 37 Pomorska Street, corner with Kwiatowa street 1885 Eclecticism Its first landlord was Julius Baumann, registered as a blacksmith. The building has been renovated in 2020. Tenement at 3 1906-1907 Art Nouveau The tenement was first owned by a rentier, Adolf Frölich living in "Friedenstraße" (today's Jasna street). Its original numbering ("1a" Blumenstraße) is still visible on the entrance lintel. The facade displays remarkable Art Nouveau motifs, in particular the floral stuccoed ornaments embellishing the main entrance and the top wall gable, which bears in addition a mascaron. Plot at 4 1920s Industrial architecture The parcel, built between interwar period, was occupied by a workshop producing baskets (). The place is still used by different workshops. Tenement at 5 Post 1950s Modern architecture The building was preceded by a tailor workshop owned by Gustaw Zerull. The current edifice built after WWII features modernist architecture. Lewandowski's tenement at 6 1892-1893 Eclecticism Hermann Lewandowski, a building contractor (), commissioned this house. He owned it till the mid-1920s: there used to live railway workers, minor officials, teachers and military personnel from the nearby barracks at Warszawska street. The tenement has been refurbished in 2020. It displays a mix of brick and stucco elements, including bossage, window pediments, a nice side avant-corps on the main elevation topped by a terrace as well as corbel tables all along the eaves. Tenement at 7 1892-1893 Eclecticism The first landlord, Leo Neumann, was a rentier. Otto Klann owned the building from 1910 till the 1930s: he had been running there a painting workshop. Renovated in 2020, the front elevation is richly decorated. The central gateway is topped with a full arch. The ground floor displays bossage features while the first floor boasts extensive decoration around the openings. Uncovered during the rehabilitation, German writings dating from the 1910s is now visible. Tenement at 8 1887 Eclecticism This tenement, then at "10 Blumenstraße", was the property of Julius Lüdtke, who rented its rooms. The building, on of the oldest in the street, features eclectic style. Tenement at 9 1893-1894 Eclecticism Heinrich ßietsch, a tailor, was the commissioner of the building at the end of the 19th century. The edifice has been overhauled in 2021, highlighting its decoration. In particular, one can mention the three mascarons portraying a Pan-like figure which crown the ground floor openings. In addition, the opposite windows on the first floor display abundant architectural details (pediments, adorned jambs and sill). Tenement at 10 1907-1908 Early modernism First registered owner was Mr. Rößke, a railway technician. The building exhibits modernist characteristics underlying long vertical lines and very few motifs. The facade is emphasized by the heavy bay window mixed with balconies which overhangs the street. The main entrance present a curved transom light still bearing a "9", from the initial street numbering. Building at 11-13 Post 1950s Modern architecture The parcel stayed bare from construction till the end of WWII. The current edifice features modernist architecture. Building at 32 Sienkiewicza street, corner with Kwiatowa street 1883 Eclecticism The first landlord is identified as Rudolf Duda, working in the railway business. The plot changed four times its house numbering: "25 Mittelstraße" (1885), "28 Mittelstraße" (1900), "48 Mittelstraße" (1915) and today's "32 Sienkiewicza street". The refurbishment completed in 2020 salvaged the elevation which was in a bad technical condition.Furthermore, the facade probably lost its architectural details in the course of earlier works. Tenement at 15 1911-1912 Late Art Nouveau Anton Grabowski, the initial landlord, was also owner of the abutting building at the corner with Sienkiewicza street (then "Mittelstraße"). He was a metalworker. The frontage, in a poor state, is balanced by two curved bay windows. Some preserved elements of architecture are still visible on the ground floor: an entrance portal flanked by two columns and topped by an elliptic transom, and a floral motif frieze running all the way along wall. Tenement at 17, corner with Sienkiewicza street 1911-1912 Art Nouveau, early Modern architecture The commissioner of this building was Anton Grabowski, a master metalworker, living at "14 Blumenstraße" (today's 2 Kwiatowa street, house nonexistent). He also owned the tenement at 15. Renovated in 2020, one can appreciate in particular the bartizan overhanging at the corner, the bay windows and the numerous stuccoed motifs present in cartouches or on vertical friezes.

LuAnn Thomspson is the Walters Endowed Professor at the University of Washington. She is known for her work in modeling the movement of heat and chemicals via ocean currents. Education and career Thompson grew up in northern California and was interested in astrophysics. She received a B.S. in physics from the University of California, Davis (1983), an M.A. in physics from Harvard University (1986), and a Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (1990). Following her Ph.D. she moved to the University of Washington first as a post-doctoral fellow, and then she joined the faculty in 1993. She was promoted to professor in 2010 and named the Walters Professor of Oceanography in 2016. Research Thompson's early research developed models of water flow and used laboratory experiments to examine the production of eddies. Subsequent research examined the factors controlling sea surface height, which she measures using data from satellites, and the physical conditions in the ocean that lead to the formation of water masses. Through collaborative projects she has examined how changes in water circulation alter the oxygen levels in seawater and how marine heatwaves will impact marine ecosystems. In ongoing policy discussions, Thompson seeks to use science to support discussions on climate change and analyzes factors limiting promotion of women in science. Selected publications Awards and honors Thompson was named a fellow of the American Meteorological Society in 2014.
