L.D. Miller Funeral Home, commonly known as the Miller Funeral Home, is a historic building at 507 South Main Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
History
In either 1902 or 1903, Lee D. Miller established his funeral home and a livery barn on South Main Avenue in Sioux Falls. In 1923, Miller hired local architectural firm Perkins & McWayne to build a new, larger facility on the property, as Miller had just incorporated two other local funeral homes—Burnside Funeral Home and Joseph Nelson Funeral Home—into his. Miller's wife was the first woman embalmer to be licensed in the state of South Dakota and worked with him at the funeral home. On August 18, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance and contributions to Sioux Falls' economy.
Architecture
Perkins & McWayne designed the building in the Mission Revival architectural style. As the business needed a large, wide space to accommodate its facilities and funeral services, the result was a two-story-tall rectangular floor plan measuring . Its exterior is encased in white stucco laid over masonry. There are numerous Spanish Colonial Revival decorative elements, including a frieze consisting of a painted belt and rectangular accents between the brackets that support its red ceramic tile mansard roof. Red awnings shelter the building's street-facing arched doorways. The windows on the first floor are arched, while the second-floor windows are rectangular. A large chimney sits at the rear of the building. Inside, the service chapel contains a stained glass skylight.

John Tecumseh “Tauy” Jones (1800-1873) was a Chippewa leader and businessman who served as an interpretor for the Pottawatomie tribe in Kansas. He was also a leader and Baptist minister for the Ottawa tribe, a friend of abolitionist John Brown, and a co-founder of Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas.
Early life
John Tecumseh Jones was born in Canada in 1808 to father of British ancestry and a Chippewa mother. Jones spent his earliest years with a sister and her blacksmith husband on Mackinac Island in Michigan. While living there he befriended a Captain Connor and rode on his ship to Detroit to live with Connor's family where he learned English and French. Due to Connor's alcoholism, he threw Jones out of the Connor home after Mrs. Connor died, and Baptists took in Jones and recruited him and other local Indians in the 1820s to attend a Baptist mission scool, Carey Mission (now in Indiana, then part of Michigan) for four or five years where he reacquired a knowledge of Indigenous languages. Next he enrolled at what is now Colgate University in New York, but left after almost four years due to his health. Jones then taught at the Choctaw Academy in Kentucky for a year before visiting his sister and going to Sault Ste. Marie as an interpreter.
Move to Kansas
In 1838 Jones moved to Kansas to serve as a Pottawatomie interpretor and leader, and then worked with Rev. Jotham Meeker a Baptist missionary and printer. In 1840 Tauy married Rachel Littleman, from the Stockbridge–Munsee Community. After her death, he married Jane Kelly in 1845, a missionary from Maine. He acquired a trading post in 1848 from a trader named Roby on what is now Tauy Creek, and Jones built a frame and log house and hotel which was a main stop between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Scott. Scott was sympathetic to the abolitionist Free State cause and was a friend of John Brown. Pro-slavery Missourians burned his house in 1856, and then his next house on the site was burned as well. In 1862 he started the process of building a third house on the same site, a large stone home now known as the Tauy Jones House, and he hired Damon Higbie of LeLoup.
Affiliation with Ottawa tribe and Ottawa University
Starting in the 1840s Jones was adopted into the Ottawa tribe and became a leader of that tribe where he received the nickname "Tauy" or "Ottaway," which was an abbreviated version of "Ottawa." While serving as a representative of the Ottawa tribe in 1860, Jones suggested founding an integrated white and Indian school in 1860 which eventually became Ottawa University, and he was actively involved with the school until his death. He died in 1873 and was buried in the Indian cemetery northeast of Ottawa.
Jones also was a co-founder of Ottawa University and the school's oldest building, Tauy Jones Hall, is named after him.

The Ndifuna Ukwazi (NU), translated from isiXhosa: Dare to Know, is a South African non-profit advocacy organisation established in 2011 to advocate for affordable housing in well-located urban spaces. The organisation does this by conducting policy research, community organisation, public advocacy, litigation, and the provision of legal services. Most of the organisation's activities focus on communities within the City of Cape Town.
The organisation has been critical of the City of Cape Town's policies and actions on policing the poor and homeless, evictions, and the sale of City property instead of using it for affordable housing. It has also criticised the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Department of Defence for its urban housing policies.

This is a list of Canadian historical population by province and territory, drawn from the Canadian census of population data and pre-Confederation censuses of Newfoundland and Labrador. The data for 1851 to 1976 is drawn primarily from Historical Statistics of Canada, 2nd edition. Data for 1981 through 2021 are from the respective year's respective census. Newfoundland and Labrador pre-Confederation data is from the 1945 Census of Newfoundland and Labrador, volume 1. Data for 1841 and some 1851 data drawn from the 1931 Canadian census. With the exception of Nunavut prior to 1996, the population figures largely reflect modern provincial boundaries; prior to 1996, the population of modern Nunavut is reported with Northwest Territories. Although the census has worked to count First Nations populations since 1871, the it is likely Indigenous Canadians are undercounted by the census. Shaded blocks indicate periods before the province or territory joined the Canadian Confederation. Instances where the reported figure came from a different year's population count (primarily pre-1861 and for Newfoundland) are noted. Total Canadian population row includes the population of Newfoundland and Labrador.

"To the Yew Tree Above Dafydd ap Gwilym's Grave" (Welsh: Yr Ywen uwchben Bedd Dafydd ap Gwilym) is a 14th-century Welsh-language poem in the form of a cywydd, and is usually seen as either an elegy written after the death of Dafydd ap Gwilym or a mock-elegy addressed to him during his lifetime. Its author, Gruffudd Gryg, also wrote another elegy or mock-elegy on his friend Dafydd, and conducted a controversy in verse with him in which Dafydd's poems were criticised and defended. The cywydd on the yew tree constitutes the main evidence for the widespread belief that Dafydd is buried at Strata Florida Abbey (also known as Ystrad Fflur) in Ceredigion. It has been called "a superb poem, perhaps Gruffudd Gryg's best...a remarkably sensitive and perceptive act of poetic homage that acknowledges, far more than any more direct statement ever could, Dafydd's status as a true athro for his generation". It was included in both The Oxford Book of Welsh Verse and The Penguin Book of Welsh Verse.
Summary
Yew at Strata Florida, God's blessing on you! King David prophesied you, and Dafydd described you as his house of green leaves, a castle shielding the dead from the icy wind, "as good as the tree of rods of old". You are noble in every part. Beneath is buried "the beehive of englynion". Woe to Dyddgu, the poet's mistress! May you, good motherly yew, serve the Lord and protect Dafydd's grave. Do not move one step. Goats shall not despoil you, fire shall not burn you, nor shall any carpenter, cobbler or wood-gatherer damage you. Leaves are your covering, yours is a good place. May God glorify your miracles.
Sources
Striking similarities show that Gruffudd's poem was influenced by Dafydd's "The Holly Grove". Both cywyddau are addressed directly to evergreen trees, both promise safe houses to the poet, and both promise that that house will not have its leaves eaten by goats. Gruffudd draws in addition on the imagery of Dafydd's "The Roebuck", "The Wind", and perhaps "The Spear".
The poem also shows the influence of the Ystorya Adaf ("Story of Adam"), a Biblical legend which tells how a threefold tree which grew from three seeds planted in Adam's grave became in turn the staff of Moses, the tree beneath which David repented his adultery with Bathsheba, and finally the True Cross. Gruffudd compares the yew to "the tree of rods of old", refers to it as trybedd, "three-footed", and calls on the yew not to move a step in allusion to an episode of the Ystorya in which the three rods raise themselves from the ground and take root.
Genre
In the 14th century it was common for poets to write, during the subject's lifetime, fictitious elegies to their fellow-poets, and it is often difficult to distinguish these false elegies from the true ones. In the case of "To the Yew Tree", Sir Thomas Parry, D. J. Bowen, Dafydd Johnston, Huw Meirion Edwards, John K. Bollard and R. Geraint Gruffydd have maintained that it was written after Dafydd's death, On the other hand, Barry Lewis, Rachel Bromwich and other scholars have given arguments for believing that it was written to the living Dafydd, Bromwich pointing out that Gruffudd's poem mixes levity with its seriousness, its echoes of Dafydd's poetry being sometimes used to ludicrous effect; indeed she believed that all elegies of this period addressed by one poet to another must be presumed to be mock-elegies. A third way was proposed by Sir Ifor Williams, who contended that the poem, though written after Dafydd's death, is not an elegy of any kind, the subject being the yew itself rather than the poet. The issue of whether this poem was written before or after Dafydd's death is an important one, because it is the only historical evidence corroborating the tradition, known to have existed since the 18th century, that he was buried at Strata Florida. Other early sources state that he was buried at Talley Abbey in Carmarthenshire.
The legacy at Strata Florida
In the 1530s John Leland wrote of Strata Florida that "The coemiteri wherin the cunteri about doth buri is veri large, and meanely waullid with stoone. In it be xxxix great hue trees." In 1810 the antiquary Samuel Rush Meyrick reported that only a few were left, and when George Borrow visited in 1854 in the course of a journey through Wales he found just two. He decided that the one growing north-east of the church looked the more ancient, and therefore paid his homage to Dafydd ap Gwilym by reciting a poem beneath that yew. Postcards dating from the early 20th century label this one Dafydd ap Gwilym's Yew, and it still survives. In more recent years, however, the yew closer to the church, by its north wall, has become known as Dafydd's, perhaps because it looks more impressive, and in 1951 a memorial plaque was installed near it. Though there is no particular historical evidence in favour of either yew's claims it is at any rate possible that they were saved from felling because of traditions connecting them with Dafydd ap Gwilym.
The poetic legacy
Gruffudd Gryg is far from being the only poet who, in writing about Strata Florida, has invoked the figure of Dafydd, and several have specifically dealt with the yew over his grave or with Gruffudd Gryg's cywydd. An anonymous poem comprising two englynion, described by William Owen as Dafydd's epitaph, asks "Is it here that you were put under green wood, under a green tree, lively, handsome yew tree?". George Borrow, recounting his Welsh journey in Wild Wales (1862), gives us the text of the poem he addressed to the yew at Dafydd's grave, consisting of a mixture of lines from "The Yew Tree" and others of his own composition. T. Gwynn Jones's Welsh-language lyric "Ystrad Fflur", written in 1920, includes, in Edwin Stanley James's translation, a reference to Dafydd's tomb "where the sombre yew-trees wave". Harri Webb's poem "Thanks in Winter" commemorates the day he visited Dafydd's grave in 1965 as "a pilgrim under the yew at Ystrad Fflur". Gwyn Williams's "At Ystrad Fflur" mentions
The yew marking Dafydd's grave is evoked in other recent poems: Moelwyn Merchant's Dafydd lies at Ystrad Fflur, Martin Locock's "Gorffwysfa Dafydd ap Gwilym", Kathy Miles's "The Creed of Cataloguing", and Anthony Kendrew's "Strata Florida".

Edward Guildford (c1390-1449) was an English landowner, administrator, and politician from the county of Kent who served three times as its MP and once as its Sheriff.
Career
Born about 1390, he was the son and heir of William Guildford, a landowner and politician who lived at the manor of Hemsted in the parish of Benenden, and his wife Joan Halden, heiress of the manor of Halden in Rolvenden.
His father having died when he was young, how he was brought up and how his inheritance was kept secure are unknown. By the time he reached majority, however, he was in trouble with the law. In 1412 he was bound over in the sum of 200 pounds to King Henry IV to ensure that he would do no harm to Patrick St Owen. In 1413 the Sheriff of Kent was ordered to arrest him and eight others and to bring them immediately before the Court of Chancery. In or after 1416 complaint was made to the Lord Chancellor alleging that he had forcibly deprived John Hicks of his property in Rolvenden, dragging him out of his house by his legs, and stealing goods worth 20 pounds. The injured man claimed that it was impossible to get justice in the local Kent courts.
Despite this record of offences, in 1419 he received his first public appointment, to a royal commission of array in Kent, and in that year was elected MP for Kent. In 1420, shortly after the dissolution of his first Parliament, his name was included by the local JPs in a list sent to the Privy Council as one of the dozen men from the county they considered most capable of doing military service in defence of the kingdom (though there is no record of him serving as a soldier). Later that year he attended the parliamentary elections held at Rochester and, in 1421, those held at Canterbury.
Having entered national politics, his circle of acquaintance widened. He became an associate of the Surrey MP Nicholas Carew, for whom he witnessed deeds in 1421 and 1432, and also acted as a trustee of his estates. In 1426 he served as royal escheator for the counties of Kent and Middlesex and for a second time was elected MP for Kent. In 1428 he had dealings with the Privy Councillor Sir Walter Hungerford over the manor of Eythorne, of which the manor of Elmton that he had acquired was a dependency. However his most important connection was with King Henry VI's governess Alice Beauchamp, widow of the MP Sir Thomas Boteler of Sudeley and of the MP Sir John Dallingridge of Bodiam. While acting in the 1430s as a trustee of her substantial estates in Sussex and Kent, he would have been in contact with his two co-trustees, Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick and Humphrey Stafford, 6th Earl of Stafford.
In 1431 he was involved in transactions regarding land in Stone on behalf of William Bertin of Canterbury, who had married his daughter Elizabeth, and that year was appointed Sheriff of Kent. In 1434 he was among Kent gentry required to take an oath not to maintain malefactors and he served on two royal commissions of inquiry, one into a Kent manor and the other into theft of a ship's cargo. In 1435 he sat for the third time as MP for Kent, was on a commission of array, and for the first time was appointed a JP for the county. In 1436 the Privy Council asked him to loan 40 pounds towards the Duke of York’s military expedition to France and he served on two royal commissions, one on distributing tax allowances in Kent and one on the defence of Sussex.
After re-appointment as a JP for Kent in 1437, he was added to the commission of oyer and terminer in 1438 and chosen as sheriff. followed in 1439 by a commission on defences in Sussex. In 1440 he and his wife joined the religious fraternity of Christ Church Priory in Canterbury and he was appointed a third time to the bench of magistrates, sitting for life. That year he was on a commission to raise royal loans in Kent, followed by other commissions in 1441 and 1443. In that year he began legal proceedings against members of the Brenchley family for possession of a holding in Benenden, eventually ending the disagreement with a settlement out of court. Not long afterwards it was alleged in the Court of Chancery that he had refused to return the manor of Dane Court near Eythorne to its rightful owner.
In 1444 he founded a chapel in Rolvenden church in honour of St Anne and St Katherine and in his will, made on 16 October 1448, asked to be buried there. Probate was on 21 September 1449, his executors including his son John and his son-in-law, William Darell. His widow was alive in December 1455, when she acted as advowee of Eythorne rectory. According to the Visitation of Kent in 1619, his first wife had predeceased him and it was a second wife with the same first name, Juliana Markle, who survived him.
Family
At an early age he married Juliana Pittlesden or Picklesden (sources differ), who probably came from Tenterden, and they had five known children:
John, his heir, later knighted, who lived at Tenterden and became Comptroller of the Household under King Edward IV.
Anne, who married William Darell MP.
Elizabeth, who married William Bertin.
Alice, who married Richard Hawte.
Thomasine, who married John Bamborough.

Belmiro Cuica Chissengueti C.S.Sp. (born 5 March 1969) is an Angolan prelate of the Catholic Church who has been bishop of Cabinda since 2018. He serves as the spokesperson for Angolan bishops on political and social affairs, and for his social media presence has been called the bishop of the diocese of Facebook.
Early life
Belmiro Cuica Chissengueti was born on 5 March 1969 in the town of Chinguar in Bié, a province in Central Angola. He was not raised a Catholic but was instead along with his parents a member of the Congregational Evangelical Church in Angola. He studied at the preparatory seminary of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans or Holy Ghost Fathers) in Lândana, Cabinda, and entered the major seminary in Huambo in 1984. He made his perpetual vows as a Spiritan on 5 August 1995 and was ordained a priest on 5 May 1996.
He later studied civil law at the Catholic University of Angola and earned a licentiate from the Pablo de Olavide University in Spain.
His assignments have included postings as parish vicar and then parish priest of São João Baptista di Lobita in the Diocese of Benguela and a member of the presbyteral council of the that diocese from 1996 to 2000; counsellor of the Spiritans in Angola from 1997 to 2004; parish priest of São Pedro Apóstolo in Luanda from 2000 to 2016; episcopal vicar for social pastoral care for the Archdiocese of Luanda from 2001 to 2009; a member of the presbyteral council of that archdiocese from 2002 to 2003; first counsellor of Spiritans in Angola from 2004 to 2013; secretary of the Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace of the Conference of Bishop of Angola and São Tomé (CEAST) from 2010 to 2014; episcopal vicar of the Vicariate of São Pedro from 2010 to 2018; a member of the ecclesiastical court of the archdiocese of Luanda from 2013 to 2018; and provincial superior of the Spiritans in Angola from 2016 to 2018.
In 2009, he was named, as secretary of the CEAST Commission for Justice and Peace, an expert participant for the Synod of Bishops on Africa that met in the Vatican in October.
Bishop
On 3 July 2018, Pope Francis named him bishop of Cabinda. He received his episcopal consecration in Luanda on 30 September from Filomeno do Nascimento Vieira Dias, Archbishop of Luanda, his predecessor in Cabinda. He was installed in Cabinda on 7 October. Aware of the diocese' history of conflict when its last bishop was appointed in 2005, he chose as his motto "one heart and one soul". He reported that he found no evidence of a divided community and even had "a very healthy relationship" with a group of former Catholics who had formed their own church in 2005–06.
In November 2019, he suspended one of his priests, Félix Roberto Cubola Kinyumba, for engaging in political activities incompatible with his priestly ministry in violation of canon law, specifically assuming the presidency of the High Council of Cabinda, an organization that seeks to negotiate with the Angolan government.
Assessing his challenges in May 2021 on the 25th anniversary of his ordination, he said:
He emphasized the need to move forward on local development projects and minimizing the use of non-local labor, for local educational institutions, and for rural development to counteract migration to the cities. Accomplishing his goals, he said, would require more professional management of government economic policy otherwise Angola could become a failed state.
He has continued to serve as spokesperson for CEAST. In October 2021, he recommended the government declare an food emergency in the drought-affected southern part of Angola to allow international aid into the region. He counseled the government not to "confuse hunger with the political issue". In November 2021, he recorded an extensive critique of the national political leadership that went viral. He described their impoverished mentality that made it impossible to address the nation's poverty. He said:
He described government officials traveling expensively and sending groups to international conferences, instead of admitting to the country's limited resources and sending one delegate whose seriousness would win an audience. He said they are ashamed to appear poor and instead waste resources to prop up their egos. In January 2022, he urged government leaders to meet with protesters and use dialog to address demand for youth employment and avert increasingly radical social conflict.

Lilian Leveridge (15 April 1879 – 1953) was a British-born Canadian teacher who became a writer, particularly of poetry, later in her career. In addition to six volumes of verse, she contributed articles, poems and short stories to various periodicals. Awards and recognition followed from the Canadian Literature Club of Toronto, Canadian Authors Association, and the McNab Poetry Award. Leveridge died in 1953.
Early life and education
Lilian Leveridge was born in England, at the "Park Farm", near Hockering, Norfolk, April 15, 1879. Reverses of fortune led her father, David William Leveridge (1840-1929), to remove to Canada in 1882. On 9 July 1883, Lilian, her mother, Anna Maria Godbolt Leveridge (1846-1927), and her six siblings (Edward, Arthur, Florence, Gertrude, Catherine, John) joined the father. The family settled in a one-room home on a heavily timbered farm near Coe Hill, in the mining district of Wollaston Township, Hastings County, Ontario. Here, remote from church and school, for a time, she experienced the privations of pioneer life, but with the advantage of a refined home atmosphere and a devoted mother to guide her early education.
Career
After a course at the Winnipeg Collegiate Institute, she taught school for a summer at Glenboro, Manitoba, and then returned to Ontario, where she continued teaching for some years. In 1914, the family removed to Carrying Place, in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Some years later, Leveridge took up business life in Toronto, but poor health obliged her in 1922 to relinquish this and return home.
The poems "Over the Hills of Home" (The Leader-Post, 1918) and "A Cry from the Canadian Hills" (for The Daily Ontario) were written by Leveridge as a tribute to her brother, Corporal Frank E. Leveridge, a member of the Thirty-ninth Canadian Battalion, who was wounded in action and died in France during World War I. "Over the Hills of Home" became the title poem for a slender volume, Over the Hills of Home, And Other Poems (E. P. Dutton & Co., 1918) of a score or more of poems which were of varying mood and of simple structure and sincere feeling. This was the first of six books published between 1918 and 1939.
Leveridge contributed short stories, articles, and poems to various periodicals. These included at least three published by Brantford's The Expositor ("The Way of the British", 1914; "Bob-o-Link", 1923; and "Hymn of Peace", 1937); and another three published in 1924 by The Windsor Star ("When the Lights Go Out", "Pipes of Pan", and "Gradation"). "Beckoning Worlds" was published in Canadian Poetry Magazine and reprinted in The Gazette, 1948. "I Would See Jesus" was published in The Canadian Churchman and reprinted in The Sun Times, 1939. Additional periodicals who published her verses included "Summer in the Heart" (The Daily Sun-Times, 1923); and "The Wind" (Vernon News, 1931). The Star-Chronicle mentioned that some of Leveridge's short stories appeared in the July 1909 edition of The Canadian Magazine. She was also a contributor to: Alberta Poetry Year Book, Canadian Bookman, Canadian Farmer, Canadian Home Journal, Christian Guardian, Delineator, Family Herald and Weekly Star, Mail and Empire, Montreal Poetry Year Book, New Outlook, Occult Digest, Ontario Farmer, Ontario Intelligencer, and Picton Gazette.

Georgy Arkadyevich Dokuchaev (14 January 1864 - after 1920) was an Imperial Russian and White Russian armies officer, major general.
Military career
Dokuchaev graduated from Voronezh Mikhailovsky Cadet Corps. He joined the military service on 25 March 1883 as a junker in the 1st Pavel Military School. On 14 August 1884, he received the rank of podporuchik in the 135th Kerch-Yenikolsk Infantry Regiment of the 34th Infantry Division.
In 1903, he became officer-educator of the Tiflis Cadet Corps in the rank of captain. In 1904, he was conferred the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Since 1 January 1909, he served in the 261st Infantry Reserve Shemakha Regiment of the 66th Infantry Reserve Brigade, and was a commander of a battalion. In 1914, he became colonel in the 205th Shemakha Infantry Regiment of the 52nd Infantry Division. From May of the same year, he was the commander of the 5th Caucasian Rifle Regiment.
After the World War I started, Dokuchaev became on 2 April 1916 the commander of a brigade in the 5th Caucasian Rifle Division. He was conferred the rank of Major General on 10 July 1916.
From late July to mid-September 1918, he commanded the forces of the Centrocaspian Dictatorship in the battle of Baku against the Islamic Army of the Caucasus under the command of Turkish general Nuri Pasha Killigil and the armed forces of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. General Dunsterville, who led the British expeditionary force, described Dokuchaev as "an exceptionally refined and pleasant gentleman to deal with, but his character was not suited to the position of Commander-in-Chief of a revolutionary army".
Later, Dokuchaev served in the Armed Forces of South Russia; since 13 July 1919 he was in reserve at the headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief. In March 1920 he was interned in Georgia. In 1921, he was mentioned in the list of conditionally amnestied prisoners of Ryazan forced labor camp. Subsequent fate is unknown.

Anzelmo Katić (born 23 September 1715 – 24 January 1792) was a Croatian Franciscan and prelate of the Catholic Church from Dubrovnik who served as the bishop of Trebinje-Mrkan.
Biography
Katić was born in Jasenica, Konavle, part of the parish of Stračva to father Miho and mother Stana née Pavić-Kolić (Pavlikoli). He was christened Nikola on 28 September 1715. As a boy, Katić studied at the Jesuit College in Dubrovnik and later entered the Franciscan Order. Katić went to study philosophy and theology in Melfi in present-day Italy, where he was ordained a priest on 7 February 1740 by the Archbishop of Nazareth Nicola Iorio, at the time seated in Barletta. After finishing his studies, Katić returned to Dubrovnik and lectured philosophy and theology. He was also an educator of the Franciscan youth and a preacher and wrote poems in Latin and Croatian.
On 15 June 1760, the bishop of Trebinje-Mrkan Sigismund Tudišić died in Dubrovnik. The Senate of Dubrovnik proposed Katić as Tudišićs successor. After the Senate's decision, Katić went to Rome for approval from the pope. After the regular questioning, Pope Clement XIII appointed Katić the new bishop of Trebinje-Mrkan on 15 December 1760. Katić remained in Rome to be consecrated as a bishop, spending there eight months in total. He returned to Dubrovnik on 7 March 1761. Former general vicar of Trebinje-Mrkan Andrija Lazarević arrived in Dubrovnik on 19 March 1761 to ascertain the new bishop with the situation in the diocese and to hand him over the administration over the diocese. Katić prolonged Lazarević's mandate as a general vicar.
At the time, the vast majority of the Diocese of Trebinje-Mrkan was within the Ottoman Empire, while the smaller portion was within the Venetian Republic. The official seat of the diocese, the uninhabited island of Mrkan belonged to the Republic of Ragusa, while the bishops lived within Dubrovnik itself. Katić made his first visitation to the diocese in May 1761 and sent the official report to Propaganda in Rome. Katić tried to resolve the issue of his episcopal seat in order to live on the territory of his diocese, and during his second visitation in 1762, he arranged with the parish priest Mato Ančić from Trebinja in the Ottoman Empire, to live in his parish house.
However, the local Ottoman administrator from Stolac found it suspicious that a bishop lives for such a long time on his territory, at the time a year and seven months, and invited him for discussion in Hutovo. Katić and the Ottoman administrator met there on 18 December 1763. The administrator was furious and didn't allow Katić to explain his stay, imprisoned him until midnight, and fined him 40 cekins. After being released from prison, Katić went on foot back to the Republic of Ragusa on 23 December 1763, and tried to get the Ragusan diplomacy to help him lobby his free stay in the diocese with the Ottoman government. He further asked them to help the Catholics there to get the freedom of religion. However, the Ragusan government was uninterested in such a deal and only in 1777 gained a ferman which allowed the bishop free activity on the territory of the diocese.
Aware of the disinterest of the Ragusan government, Katić tried to resolve the issue himself. He rented a house on the border of the Republic of Ragusa and the Ottoman Empire in Čepikuće from a certain Ivelja Ohmučević from Ston. Ohmučević occasionally lived in that house. There was another, a smaller house nearby, owned by a peasant Đuro Lalić. The house had only one room. Seeing it as a solution for his residence, Katić rented the house and lived there until his death.

William Street South, commonly known as South William Street, (Irish: Plás Mhic Liam Theas) is a street located on Dublin's Southside. It runs from the junction with Exchequer Street, Wicklow Street, and St. Andrew's Street on its northeastern end to the junction of Johnson Place and Stephen Street on its southwestern end.
History
The street was laid out in 1676 by William Williams and was part of Dublin's 17th century expansion beyond its medieval walls. The street has one of the largest and most complete groups of 18th century merchants' houses in the city.
In 2012, the street was rebranded as being the centre of Dublin's "Creative Quarter", an area noted for its "independent design stores, fashion outlets and cafes". The UK's Academy of Urbanism has noted that the street has transformed "from the bustling heart of the rag trade to a well-known spot for retail entrepreneurs, start-ups and those in search of a good night out".
Powerscourt House
The street is dominated by Powerscourt House, the former Dublin townhouse of Viscount Powerscourt. It was constructed in the 18th century for Richard Wingfield, 3rd Viscount Powerscourt, a member of the Irish House of Lords. The townhouse was the Wingfield family's urban residence when they were visiting from the Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, County Wicklow.
Designed by Robert Mack, it dates from between 1771 and 1774. The court at the rear of the building was created with the addition of three brown-brick office buildings in 1809 to 1811. The townhouse was purchased and redeveloped as a shopping centre between 1978 and 1981 and is now known as the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre.

Lederfabrik Heilbronn was a company in the city of Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, which became a leading leather goods manufacturer.
Beginnings
The company was founded by the Victor family from Horkheim, who ran a trade in furs and skins there. Julius Victor (* June 15, 1838; † August 30, 1887 in Heilbronn) acquired the citizenship of the city of Heilbronn on July 3, 1862; at that time he could prove a fortune of 3000 gulden. In 1868, Julius, Joseph and Victor Victor went into business for themselves as Gebr. Victor in Heilbronn at Große Biedermannsgasse 10, in order to continue trading there on a larger scale, now for smoked goods, game and saddlery leather goods.
In 1882, the company moved to Cäcilienstraße 42 a. In 1887, a glue factory was added. By 1899, the company was advertising the import of overseas hides, and was owned by the sons of the founders Victor, Jakob Victor I and Jacob Victor II, as well as the widow of Joseph Victor, and from 1908 also Sigmund Victor.
Expansion
The company continued to expand, but it was not until 1909/1910 that the descendants Jacob Viktor II and Sigmund Victor, together with their cousin Jakob Victor I, built a leather factory at Weipertstraße 40 in Heilbronn's already industrial area of Kleinäulein. The company was now called Lederfabrik Heilbronn GmbH. Floor leather for shoes was produced from overseas cattle hides. Before the First World War, the factory was one of the leading leather factories in Germany, and one of the largest in southern Germany. Production was not only for the German market, but increasingly also for export. Up to 280 employees worked in the partly newly created workshops.
Social role
Members of the Victor family belonged to the board of the Centralverein der Deutschen Lederindustrie (Berlin) and the advisory board of the Heilbronn Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Eugen Victor was chairman of the Reichsbund of Jewish front-line soldiers in Heilbronn. Sigmund Victor died on May 16, 1930. The Victor brothers established various local foundations: in 1915, one endowed with 150,000 marks for workers in need. The city was granted a foundation with the assets of 20,000 marks, intended for the support of poor citizens. "The Victors were among the most respected citizens and factory owners in the city.“.
Victoria Wolff, née Trude Victoria Victor (* December 10, 1903 in Heilbronn; † September 16, 1992 in Los Angeles), the daughter of Jacob Victor, became a well-known U.S. writer and screenwriter after her emigration. She grew up with her parents in Heilbronn, where it is said that the young Albert Einstein once tried to give her lessons in mathematics.
Nazi-era
As soon as the Nazis came to power in 1933, , disruptions and harassment of the company began. A Werkschar group had to be set up. Quote: "Werkscharen were formed in the factories under the Nazi regime as a "vanguard group for the dissemination of the National Socialist worldview". Their members were recruited from the company "followers". The "Werkschar" had to be able "without external means of power, precisely in the hour of danger, to instantly eliminate and eradicate any disturbance, disorder, or even irresponsible agitation that might arise.""". After Jacob Victor's death on June 12, 1934, only a few members of the workforce dared to attend the funeral; "an intrepid machine foreman sounded the factory siren as a final salute".
In the meantime, Max Victor, the second son of Jacob Victor II, had joined the company after being forced to give up his position as a research assistant at the Kiel Institute for World Economics and Maritime Transport. Robert Victor, the second son of Sigmund Victor, who also worked at the factory, emigrated to South Africa at an early age.
Hans Franke writes about the factory as a place of refuge for Jewish people:Eugen Victor moved to Holland in view of the increasing threat; the factory was continued by Max Victor and Otto Victor. The company was Aryanized; the Jewish owners removed, the factory was forcibly sold to the largest German leather factory Hirschberg vorm. Heinrich Knoch & Co. Max Victor wanderte nach Holland und Otto Victor nach Südafrika aus..
The operation was discontinued in 1939. The Silberwarenfabrik Bruckmann now produced war material in the premises with 250 foreign workers, among others for Daimler-Benz, temporarily another company was active here with armament tasks. Some of the old staff had been drafted into the Wehrmacht, while others worked on armaments tasks in the silverware factory.
Due to the effects of war, the factory was heavily destroyed on December 4, 1944. After renewed air raids, 85 percent of the facilities were demolished.
Restitution and closure
After the end of the war, the former owners regained the majority shareholding in the company through the restitution laws. The company was continued jointly by Messrs. Viktor, who retained their residence in North America and South Africa, and Lederfabrik Heinrich Knoch A.-G. on the basis of an agreement.
Crisis in the leather industry led to the closure of the plant in 1954. In 1954, the buildings and land were sold to the city of Heilbronn, and the buildings were demolished between 1977 and 1980.

2 Samuel 19 is the nineteenth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46).
Text
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 43 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 6–12, 14–16, 25, 27–29, 38.
Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).
Analysis
The story of Absalom's rebellion can be observed as five consecutive episodes:
A. David's flight from Jerusalem (15:13–16:14)
B. The victorious Absalom and his counselors (16:15–17:14)
C. David reaches Mahanaim (17:15–29)
B'. The rebellion is crushed and Absalom is executed (18:1–19:8abc)
A'. David's reentry into Jerusalem (19:8d–20:3)
God's role seems to be understated in the whole events, but is disclosed by a seemingly insignificant detail: 'the crossing of the Jordan river'. The Hebrew root word' 'br, "to cross" (in various nominal and verbal forms) is used more than 30 times in these chapters (compared to 20 times in the rest of 2 Samuel) to report David's flight from Jerusalem, his crossing of the Jordan river, and his reentry into Jerusalem. In 2 Samuel 17:16, stating that David should cross the Jordan (17:16), the verb 'br is even reinforced by a 'Hebrew infinitive absolute' to mark this critical moment: "king David is about to cross out of the land of Israel." David's future was in doubt until it was stated that God had rendered foolish Ahithophel's good counsel to Absalom (2 Samuel 17:14), thus granting David's prayer (15:31), and saving David from Absalom's further actions. Once Absalom was defeated, David's crossing back over the Jordan echoes the Israelites' first crossing over the Jordan under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 1–4):
Both David and Joshua crossed the Jordan and came to Gilgal (Joshua 4:19; 2 Samuel 19:40).
Both were assisted by women who hid the good spies to save the mission: Rahab in Joshua 2:1–21 and the woman of Bahurim in 2 Samuel 17:20.
Both episodes include the Ark of the Covenant, although David prevented the ark from crossing out of the land of Israel (15:25; referring to areas west of Jordan river).
Here God's role is not as explicit as during Joshua's crossing, but the signs are clear that God was with David, just as with qJoshua.
Joab reproved David (19:1–8)
With his prolonged mourning for Absalom David placed his personal grief over his responsibility towards his troops and supporters who had helped him fighting. Joab took initiatives to rebuke David, warning about another possible rebellion (verse 7). Joab's harsh words managed to wake the king from his depression and to see him sitting on his throne watching his troops marching past.
Verse 8
Then the king arose and took his seat in the gate.
And the people were all told, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate."
And all the people came before the king.
Now Israel had fled every man to his own home.
"Israel": compared to 2 Samuel 18:16–17, this may refer to the supporters of Absalom (cf. also 2 Samuel 18:6–7).
"Every man to his own home": Hebrew: “each to his tent.”
David restored as king (19:9–33)
'Bringing the king back' to his residence in Jerusalem was a prestigious privilege to the king's his supporters. Despite some dissatifaction of David's previous management, the people of Israel, former supporters of Absalom, were ready to transfer their allegiance again to the king, but the people of Judah, David's own tribe was not doing anything as such, perhaps because Absalom's rebellion had started in Hebron, in Judah's territory. Therefore, David sent two priests, Zadok and Abiathar (cf. 2 Samuel 15:24–29) from Jerusalem to the elders of Judah with two messages:
a reminder of David's Judahite descent
David's intention to appoint Amasa to replace Joab as commander of his army.
Agreeing on the messages, the Judahites went to Gilgal to guard David's crossing of the Jordan River.
During David's return journey to Jerusalem there were three meetings which correspond to those during his departure from the city (15:9–16:13).
His first encounter was with Shimei, a Benjaminite from the house of Saul, who previously cursed David (2 Samuel 16:5–13), now pleaded with the king to forget his past actions, even added that he made efforts as the first of the 'house of Joseph' (referring to the 'northerner', that is, tribes of Israel outside Judah) to meet him. David, as customary on coronation day, showed magnanimity by swearing an oath not to kill Shimei, refusing the advice of the vengeful sons of Zeruiah to punish (cf. 16:9), even dismissed Abishai as an 'adversary' (Hebrew: satan). Despite his oath, David did not forget or forgive Shimei's insults so he commanded Solomon to deal with Shimei after David's death (1 Kings 2:8–9).
The second meeting was with Ziba, who had rushed down to the Jordan at the same time as Shimei with a group of people to assist the king's household to cross. The conversation with Mephibosheth (verses 24–30) was inserted here, because of the issue related to him and Ziba; it more likely happened near Jerusalem, after David's conversation with Barzillai in Transjordan. Mephiposheth was unkempt when coming to David, intentionally to demonstrate his grief for David's departure, and pleaded innocence, claiming that he had been deceived by Ziba (cf. 16:1–4), referring David as an 'angel of God' (cf. 2 Samuel 14:17, 20) as he recounted David's previous favors to him. David replied, curtly and to the point, by dividing Saul's territories between Ziba and Mephibosheth.
The third meeting was with Barzillai who had made provision for the king and his troops (2 Samuel 17:27), and now David wished to recompense by giving him a place in the court (verses 31–40). Barzillai's old age could no longer enjoy the pleasures of the
Court, so he only requested his home and family grave, while handed over his servant (or 'son' according to some Septuagint manuscripts), Chimham, to accompany David. David would not forget Barzillai's kindness: he blessed Barzillai (verses 38b—39), and later commended him to Solomon (1 Kings 2:26).
The conflict between north and south in verses 41–43 is a continuation of verses 8–13, where the tribes of Israel outside Judah were thinking of 'bringing the king back' before the Judahites, but then the Judahites came first to guard the king crossing the Jordan River. The northern tribes felt excluded, especially as the tribe of Judah claimed priority because David was their kinsman, but the northern tribes claimed to form the larger part of his kingdom ('ten shares' to two) and to be the first to mention bringing back the king. These verses, left without a resolution, prepare for the revolt of 2 Samuel 20 and the ultimate division of the kingdom in 1 Kings 12.

2 Samuel 16 is the sixteenth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46).
Text
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 23 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 1–2, 6–8, 10–13, 17–18, 20–22.
Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).
Analysis
The story of Absalom's rebellion can be observed as five consecutive episodes:
A. David's flight from Jerusalem (15:13–16:14)
B. The victorious Absalom and his counselors (16:15–17:14)
C. David reaches Mahanaim (17:15–29)
B'. The rebellion is crushed and Absalom is executed (18:1–19:8abc)
A'. David's reentry into Jerusalem (19:8d–20:3)
God's role seems to be understated in the whole events, but is disclosed by a seemingly insignificant detail: 'the crossing of the Jordan river'. The Hebrew root word' 'br, "to cross" (in various nominal and verbal forms) is used more than 30 times in these chapters (compared to 20 times in the rest of 2 Samuel) to report David's flight from Jerusalem, his crossing of the Jordan river, and his reentry into Jerusalem. In 2 Samuel 17:16, stating that David should cross the Jordan (17:16), the verb 'br is even reinforced by a 'Hebrew infinitive absolute' to mark this critical moment: "king David is about to cross out of the land of Israel." David's future was in doubt until it was stated that God had rendered foolish Ahithophel's good counsel to Absalom (2 Samuel 17:14), thus granting David's prayer (15:31), and saving David from Absalom's further actions. Once Absalom was defeated, David's crossing back over the Jordan echoes the Israelites' first crossing over the Jordan under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 1–4):
Both David and Joshua crossed the Jordan and came to Gilgal (Joshua 4:19; 2 Samuel 19:40).
Both were assisted by women who hid the good spies to save the mission: Rahab in Joshua 2:1–21 and the woman of Bahurim in 2 Samuel 17:20.
Both episodes include the Ark of the Covenant, although David prevented the ark from crossing out of the land of Israel (15:25; referring to areas west of Jordan river).
Here God's role is not as explicit as during Joshua's crossing, but the signs are clear that God was with David, just as with Joshua.
David fled from Jerusalem (16:1–14)
This section continues the last one (2 Samuel 15:13–37), where David had the first three of five meetings on his way out of Jerusalem, with two other meetings —this time with two persons connected with the house of Saul.
The first meeting was with Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth (verses 1–4), who brought provisions for David and reported that Mephibosheth had decided to stay in Jerusalem, thinking that Saul's kingdom was to be returned to him. Later, Mephibosheth's words in 19:27–29 disputed this. However, at this time without a chance to investigate and against his better judgement, David accepted Ziba's report and granted him all of Saul's estates.
The second meeting took place at Bahurim on the edge of the wilderness, where another Saulide called Shimei came out (verses 5–14) cursing David and calling him 'Murderer', while interpreting Absalom's take-over of the kingdom as God's revenge for 'the blood of the house of Saul' on David
(verse 8).
There are some possibilities of David's alleged crime:
the execution of seven members of Saul's family at Gibeon (2 Samuel 21:1–14),
the death of Abner (2 Samuel 3) and Ishbosheth (=Ishbaal; 2 Samuel 4), for which David could have been held responsible, or
the deaths of Saul and Jonathan at Mount Gilboa (1 Samuel 31; 2 Samuel 1), for which David was implicated because at that time he had gone over to the Philistines.
David was unwilling to take action against Shimei, accepting the possibility that Shimei was cursing on YHWH's order (verse 10), so David resigned to God's will without protest (cf. 1 Samuel 26:9–11).
The conversation with Abishai about killing Shimei mirrors the one about killing Saul in 1 Samuel 26 as follows:
Absalom entered Jerusalem (16:15–23)
Absalom entered Jerusalem as a victor, and greeted by Hushai, called as "David's friend", with the standard acclamation, 'Long live the
king' to declare his allegiance to the new king (verse 16). Absalom instinctively suspected Hushai's signs of disloyalty to David, but was persuaded that Hushai considered Absalom to be God's elect and king by public acclamation and promised him the same loyalty as he had shown his father (verse 18).
As soon as he set himself in Jerusalem, Absalom unwisely accepted Ahitophel's advice (which was "esteemed and regarded as divine guidance" in verse 23) to go to his father's harem (cf. 2 Samuel 12:8; 1 Kings 2:22–23), thereby publicly declaring his claim to the throne, which in fact he had already taken. Ahitophel reasoned that such action was a decisive break of relations between son and father which would consolidate support from the anti-Davidic camp.
By having two wisest counsellors of that age (Ahitophel and Hushai), Absalom might be assured himself of success, without any thought of consulting YHWH (through the priests and the Ark of the Covenant), but this would be Absalom undoing, because Hushai would never counsel him to do wisely, whereas Ahitophel counselled him to do wickedly, basically to sin against YHWH.
Verse 18
And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain."
Hushai's reply to Absalom's suspicion of his loyalty contains ambiguities, because, without mentioning any name, this circumlocution or descriptive character of the king of Israel would better fit David, whom the Lord had demonstratively chosen and the people of Israel had publicly anointed, instead of Absalom, who at this time had neither.
"This people": which refers to 'the citizens of Jerusalem' who had given general lamentation at David's departure (2 Samuel 15:23) and had not embraced Absalom as their new king.

Analysis
The historic wars with Ammon and Aram are recorded in 2 Samuel 10–12 in connection with the David-Bathsheba affair and the succession narrative thereafter.
This chapter comprises 3 parts:
Humiliation of David's envoys by the Ammonites (10:1–5)
Joab's victory over the Ammonites (10:6–14)
David's victory over the Arameans (10:15–19)
At the center of the chapter, Joab, David's commander, prayed for divine assistance: "may the Lord do what seems good to him" (verse 12) and God heard his prayer, confirming that God helps David (and his army) "wherever he went" (2 Samuel 8:6, 14).
Humiliation of David's envoys by the Ammonites (10:1–5)
The section begins with a Hebrew clause "wayehî ’a-ḥă-rê-ḵên", "and-happened after this" ("after this" or "and it came to pass"), indicating an indeterminate period of time since the events of the last chapter. The death of Nahash the king of the Ammonites, an ally of David, prompted David to send a mourning delegate to pay his respects and to maintain a good relationship with Hanun, Nahash's son and successor, but Hanun who suspected David's motives, humiliated the envoys.
It was not uncommon in the region that during the transition of power a neighboring kingdom would attack an inexperienced king, just as the Philistines tried to attack David upon his anointing in Hebron (2 Samuel 2:1), or the Moabites rebelled against Ahaziah the new king of Israel, when Ahab, his father, was dead (2 Kings 1:1; 3:5).
The structure of this section is as follows:
Setting (10:1)
A. David sends envoys (10:2)
B. Hanun hears accusations against the envoys (10:3a)
C. The accusations (10:3b)
B'. Hanun believes the accusations and humuliates the envoys (10:4)
A'. David's sends word to the envoys (9:5)
The episode begins and ends in David's court, while the central event happens in Hanun's court.
Verse 2
Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me."
So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.
"Show kindness": in Hebrew "khesed", which can be rendered as "do loyalty" (twice in this verse; cf. 2 Samuel 9:1).
Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was Saul's enemy in 1 Samuel 11, so it is reasonable that he favored David. Nahash attacked Jabesh-Gilead in c. 1049 BCE, so until his death in c. 998 BCE, he must have reigned at least 51 years.
Joab's victory over the Ammonites (10:6–14)
Facing imminent retaliation from David for the humiliation of Israelite envoys, the Ammonites asked help from the Arameans (verse 6), which turned attention to four Aramean states: Zobah and Beth-rehob to the south, Maacah (Aram-Maacah in 1 Chronicles 19:6) north of Manasseh in Transjordan, and Tob, further south. Comparing with the narrative in 2 Samuel 8:3–5, the course of the Aramean conflict could be reconstructed as follows:
a first battle outside the gate of Rabbah (10:6–14);
a second battle in the region of Helem in northern Gilead (10:15–19);
a final and decisive battle in which Hadadezer's coalition was conquered (8:3–8).
Joab successfully fought battle in Rabbah on two fronts, but was not in a position to take more advantage, so he returned to Jerusalem (verse 14).
Verse 14
When the Ammonites saw the Arameans flee, they fled before his brother Abishai and went into the city. Joab withdrew from fighting the Ammonites and returned to Jerusalem.
"Joab withdrew from fighting the Ammonites and returned to Jerusalem": in Hebrew: "“and Joab returned from against the sons of Ammon and entered Jerusalem.”
David's victory over the Arameans (10:15–19)
The fight under the leadership of David himself gave a much better result: the Syrians fled before David, who killed many of them, including Shobach, Hadadezer's commander (verse 18), effectively neutralizing the power of Aram. After this defeat Hadadezer's vassals transferred their allegiance to David (verse 19).
Verse 19
And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Syrians were afraid to save the Ammonites anymore.
There is a Hebrew wordplay in this verse: Hadarezer's servants "see" (wayyir'u) that they are defeated, so the Syrians (Arameans) "fear" (wayyire'u) to help the Ammonites again.

Lucien Jean Baptiste Bersot, born on June 7, 1881 and executed the February 13, 1915 was a French soldier killed for refusing to wear trousers that had belonged to a dead person. His story was taken up by Alain Scoff and adapted for television by Yves Boisset.
Private Bersot
Lucien Jean Baptiste Bersot was born on June 7, 1881 in Authoison ( Haute-Saône ) in a family of small farmers. His parents had come to settle in Besançon, Lucien learned the profession of farrier there and married there in 1908 before becoming the father of a little girl in 1909.
When the First World War broke out, he was 33 years old. He was Mobilized into the 60th infantry regiment, he was on the Aisne front during the winter of 1914-1915, and had just suffered heavy losses near Soissons. However, the general staff judging this regiment not very active had just entrusted its command, on January 22, 1915, to Lieutenant-Colonel François Maurice Auroux, a former member of the African troops, responsible for whipping the unit into shape.
The case
As there were no longer any trousers in his size in the store, Lucien Bersot could only wear the white canvas one supplied in his kit which was handed over during induction. Shivering from the cold in the trenches, he asked on February 11, 1915, the quartermaster, for red woollen trousers (Le Pantalon Rouge) identical to those worn by his comrades. The sergeant then offered him tattered and bloodstained trousers, taken from a dead soldier, which Bersot refused.
For this refusal, Lucien Bersot was sentenced to eight days in prison by Lieutenant André. But Lieutenant-Colonel Auroux, commander of the regiment, considered this punishment insufficient and requested that he appear before a special court-martial, a veritable court-martial. As new recruits who had not yet been seasoned had just arrived, his intention was clearly to make an example of Bersot.
Before the regiment's “special” Council of War, chaired by Auroux, Bersot was condemned to death. The penalty imposed then did not correspond to the code of military justice because the offence had been observed in the rear and not in contact with the enemy.
Two companions of the condemned man (Elie Cottet-Dumoulin and Mohn André) then intervened with the lieutenant-colonel to try to soften the sentence, but were not heard and saw themselves punished in turn with forced labour in North Africa. Still, others refused to shoot their comrade during his execution which took place the next day on February 13, 1915, in Fontenoy, Aisne.
Aftermath
After the war, a press campaign was undertaken by the newspaper Germinal under the pen of a young lawyer, René Rücklin, general councilor of Belfort. Supported by the League of Human Rights tried for the rehabilitation of Lucien Bersot. The Court of Cassation could only rule quickly to confirm the injustice suffered by the shot Bersot. Thanks to this rehabilitation, his widow was able to claim the war widow's pension and his daughter was able to be recognized as a pupil of the Nation.
Colonel Auroux was implicated for having acted completely illegally, being both the accuser and the president of the court-martial, and causing the imposition of a sentence disproportionate to the fault (violation of article 24 of the Code of military justice ascertained by the Court of Appeal of Besançon, the April 10, 1922. In the National Assembly, the deputy Louis Antériou, a veteran and future Minister of Pensions, challenged the government to ask for its condemnation, but André Maginot, Minister of War, rejected the discussion under the pretext of an anti-militarist campaign. Auroux, protected by Maginot and by the military hierarchy, escaped all judgment and retired in 1924 without being able to obtain the rank of general which would have been given to him if this incident wasn't investigated.
Lucien Bersot was re-interred in 1924 in the cemetery of Besançon. A stele located near the church of Fontenoy (Aisne), inaugurated in November 1994, pays homage to Lucien Bersot and to another shot for the example: the soldier Léonard Leymarie of the 305th infantry regiment, executed on December 12, 1914, under the pretext of giving himself a Self-inflicted wound (according to the data of a medical report), an act for which he had always protested his innocence (he had been injured in the hand in his post as a lookout; however, many cases of voluntary mutilation consisted of holding a lit cigarette in the hollow of the hand-stretched over the parapet of the trench). Leymarie was rehabilitated in 1923.
The municipality of Besançon recently decided to put a plaque at the entrance to the Maison du peuple, 11, rue Battant. This plaque, inaugurated on November 11, 2009, honours the memory of Lucien Bersot and that of another soldier, Elie Cottet-Dumoulin, a tinsmith worker from Battant, condemned to ten years in prison for having protested against the sanction which struck his comrade in the regiment. This soldier died in the East (Serbia) in 1917.
A street in Besançon bears the name of Bersot, but it honours the memory of a namesake, benefactor of Besançon, François Louis Bersot.
This soldier, known all over the world thanks to Yves Boisset's film, was honoured in his native village. A plaque offered by the family paying homage to him and to all the "Shots for example" was attached to the war memorial, April 19, 2014. The Minister in charge of Veterans Affairs to the Minister of Defense had delegated Mr. Bonamy-Fromentin to represent him at this ceremony which brought together descendants from all French regions. Joseph Pinard, a biographer of the soldier, presented the exhibition lent by the city of Besançon to close this tribute.
Stories and adaptations
The tragic fate of Lucien Bersot was told in a book by Alain Scoff, Le Pantalon, published in 1982 by Jean-Claude Lattès and republished in 1998.
In La Peur, a novel by Gabriel Chevalier, a telephone corporal reports to the narrator an intercepted conversation between a colonel and a general during the fall of 1914. The colonel tries to obtain the pardon of a soldier sentenced to death by the council of war for refusing bloodstained red trousers presented by the quartermaster. The soldier is finally shot. If Chevalier does not mention a name, this anecdote obviously refers to the story of Lucien Bersot.
Le Pantalon, a television film by Yves Boisset, broadcast on France 2 in 1997 and bearing the same title as the book, was also inspired by his case.
Lucien 5, a tribute song by the group La Poupee du Loup which won thanks to it, almost a hundred years later to the day, the final of the third national springboard “C'est ma chance! on France Bleu, with several partial and full broadcasts on the air between January and March 2015. The song was notably commented on by Eric Bastien and Laurent Petitguillaume in Le Mag Musiques 7. It was also performed "live" at the Maison de la Radio in Paris in the program" Elo Mélodie " on 8, 9 and May 10, 2015.

Frederica Chase Dodd (November 3, 1893 – January 21, 1972) was an American educator, social worker, and clubwoman, one of the founders of Delta Sigma Theta.
Early life and education
Chase was born in Dallas, Texas, the daughter of Frederic K. Chase and Fannie L. Hall Chase. Her father was an attorney and politician who died shortly before her birth. Her mother was a teacher. She graduated from Dallas Colored School No. 2, in 1910, and attended Howard University. She and 21 other Howard women founded Delta Sigma Theta in 1913. She marched with her sorority in a 1913 women's suffrage parade in Washington, D.C. Later in life, she earned a master's in social work degree from Atlanta University.
Career
Chase taught school in Dallas after college, until she married in 1920. She was active in the National Association of Colored Women and the YWCA, and president of the Priscilla Art Club. She co-founded the Dallas alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta. When her husband became too ill to work, she became a social worker with the Dallas Welfare Bureau, and soon director of the Negro Community Welfare Agency. From 1936 to 1961, she was a counselor at Family Service of Dallas.
Personal life and legacy
Chase married a physician, John Horace Dodd, in 1920, as his second wife. He died in 1946, after several years of illness. She inherited the estate of her sorority sister and close friend, Jessie McGuire Dent, in 1948. Frederica Chase Dodd died in 1972, aged 79 years, in Dallas. The Dallas alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta offers a Frederica Chase Dodd Scholarship to local students, and opened the Frederica Chase Dodd Life Development Center in Dallas. In 1985, the sorority published a short biography of Dodd, titled Beauty and the Best, Frederica Chase Dodd : the story of a life of love and dedication.

is a god enshrined to protect a specific building or a certain area of land. Nowadays, it is often equated with Ujigami and Ubusunagami. A shrine that enshrines a guardian deity is called a Chinjusha.
They contrast with Ujigami by having ties to land and buildings rather than bloodlines. Anyone living on the land worships them regardless of blood ties
Overview
It is said to have originated in the () of China. In the Buddhist temples of Japan, as Buddhism was introduced and Shinbutsu-shūgō progressed, Shinto deities were enshrined to protect temples, and later Shinto deities were also enshrined in buildings other than temples and in certain areas of land. Later, Shinto deities were also enshrined in buildings other than temples and in certain areas of land.
Nowadays, it is often thought that the jinchujin is the deity that lives in the land (Jinushigami), but if we trace back to the beginning, the jinchujin was a newly enshrined deity to suppress and subjugate the jishu kami. In other words, when people built artifacts on a certain land, they would enshrine a new deity with stronger spiritual power than the landowner deity in order to prevent the spirit of the deity dwelling in the land from causing hauntings that would harm people and artifacts. The landowner deity was expected to obediently submit to the guardian deity and to protect and assist the guardian deity in its activities (sometimes the landowner deity would resist and cause a haunting).
However, with time, the original meaning of the Shinto gods was forgotten, and the Shinto gods were confused with the landowner gods, which resulted in a conflation of the two. These guardian deities were worshipped in Buddhist temples, Mansions, Shōens, and Castles, and also in Villages.
As for the fact that gods came to be enshrined as guardian deities in villages, it is thought that one of the reasons for this was that in the conflict between a certain village and the Gōzoku that ruled the surrounding area, shrines came to be enshrined as guardians in villages as a form of opposition to the spiritual authority of the Ujigami, the clan gods enshrined by the Gōzoku.
Shinto shrines
Shrines erected as adjuncts to Buddhist temples were called jinjū-sha. The synonym (which is mainly a shrine) is called Jinguji. In addition, when the guardian of an institution is a Buddhist temple, it is sometimes referred to as Jinjū-ji, Jinjūdō, or Jinjū-den.

In triangle geometry, the Bernoulli quadrisection problem asks how to divide a given triangle into four equal-area pieces by two perpendicular lines. Its solution by Jacob Bernoulli was published in 1687. Leonhard Euler formulated a complete solution in 1779.
As Euler proved, in a scalene triangle, it is possible to find a subdivision of this form so that two of the four crossings of the lines and the triangle lie on the middle edge of the triangle, cutting off a triangular area from that edge and leaving the other three areas as quadrilaterals. It is also possible for some triangles to be subdivided differently, with two crossings on the shortest of the three edges; however, it is never possible for two crossings to lie on the longest edge. Among isosceles triangles, the one whose height at its apex is 8/9 of its base length is the only one with exactly two perpendicular quadrisections. One of the two uses the symmetry axis as one of the two perpendicular lines, while the other has two lines of slope , each crossing the base and one side.
This subdivision of a triangle is a special case of a theorem of Richard Courant and Herbert Robbins that any plane area can be subdivided into four equal parts by two perpendicular lines, a result that is related to the ham sandwich theorem. Although the triangle quadrisection has a solution involving the roots of low-degree polynomials, the more general quadrisection of Courant and Robbins can be significantly more difficult: for any computable number there exist convex shapes whose boundaries can be accurately approximated to within any desired error in polynomial time, with a unique perpendicular quadrisection whose construction computes .
In 2022, the first place in an Irish high school science competition, the Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition, went to a project by Aditya Joshi and Aditya Kumar using metaheuristic methods to find numerical solutions to the Bernoulli quadrisection problem.

Theaetetus Scholasticus (; fl. 6th century AD) was a Byzantine Greek epigrammatist.
Theaetetus was of the time of Justinian, as is clearly proved by the references in his epigrams to Domninus, who was prefect of the city under Justin I, and to Julianus Antecessor. Reiske confounded him with an earlier epigrammatist of the same name. The Medicean Library contains a manuscript tract περὶ ἀττικῶν ὀνομάτων under the name of Theaetetus Scholasticus; and the Suda mentions a work on Proverbs (περὶ παροιμιῶν) by a certain Theaetetus.

The 1984 Herut leadership election was held on April 12, 1984 to elect the leader of the Herut party. It saw the reelection of Yitzhak Shamir (the incumbent leader and incumbent prime minister), who defeated a challenge from former defense minister Ariel Sharon, as well as lawyer Aryeh Chertok.
Herut was the main party of the Likud coalition, making its leader also the leader of that coalition. Party leaders in Israel are typically the party's candidate to be prime minister in Knesset elections. The election was held in advanced of the July 23, 1984 Knesset election.
Candidates
Aryeh Chertok, lawyer
Yitzhak Shamir, incumbent leader and incumbent prime minister
Ariel Sharon, member of the Knesset, minister without portfolio, former minister of Defense, former minister of agriculture
Campaign
Sharon announced his candidacy on February 9, 1984, in a speech to students at Bar-Ilan University. Sharon was regarded to be a very controversial figure in Israeli's politics. Before this challenge to Shamir, Sharon had been sidelined in politics for roughly a year, after having been made to resign as defense minister in February 1983 following a government judicial commission inquiry which found him derelect in duty, faulting him for having not managed to prevent the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Sharon's leadership challenge was an effort at a political comeback, aiming to at least receive his position of minister of defense (which was regarded by many the second most-important position in Israeli government, behind prime minister). At the time, Sharon was regarded as a hardliner on issues related to Arabs, both domestically and foreign. During his leadership camapign, Sharon portrayed himself as an underdog hoping to rehabilitate his reputation from what he potratyed to be an unfair degradation. During his campaign, he traveled across the nation to local Herut chapters. He claimed the government inquiry that had led to his ouster as defense minister was unfair, decrying it as, "a mark of Cain on my forehead." Sharon, despite being disgraced by judicial commission inquiry, retained a dedicated base of support among right-wing nationalists.
Election procedure
The electorate for the leadership election were the 3,000 members of Likud's Central Committee. A week before the vote, the party moved to change the required threshold to avoid a runoff election to 40% from the previous 50%.
Result
Shamir was reelected. However, Sharon's performance was considered strong, with Shamir's reelection being regarded as relatively narrow. The vote was seen as boosting Sharon's political comeback, and indicating a potential divide within the party.
Aftermath
After the leadership election, Sharon continued to stage his political comeback. On May 9, the conference of party leaders which selected Herut's party list for the upcoming election placed Sharon in the fourth position on the list. He had made an active effort to campaign for the second position on the list (the party leader automatically would be given the first position), which instead went to David Levy. Nonetheless, fourth place was regarded as a high placement, and was seen as positioning him for a ministerial post should the party be successful in the election.
Sharon's comeback frustrated the Israeli Liberal Party, a partner of Herut's in the Likud coalition, who felt his return to prominence saddled the coalition with an extremist image.

Platanthera chorisiana, Chamisso's Orchid or Choris' Bog Orchid, is a terrestrial orchid native to the United States, Canada, Russia and Japan.
Description
Platanthera chorisiana plants are small, from 4 up to 20 cm. They usually have two leaves at the base of the stem (sometimes just one or up to four). The small flowers (petals are only 1.5-2.5 mm) have a greenish color and are often not fully turned (resupinate). There is a very short nectar spur. Bloom time is July and August.
Subspecies
Sometimes two subspecies are considered, Platanthera chorisiana var. chorisiana and Platanthera chorisiana var. elata. The latter subspecies only grows in Asia.
Distribution and habitat
In the United States Platanthera chorisiana is found in Washington (state) and Alaska, in Canada in British Columbia. Worldwide distribution is around the northern pacific coast, extending west along the Aleutian Islands to Kamchatka in Russia and to northern Japan.
Plants grow in bogs and wet tundra up to a maximum elevation of 400 m.
Taxonomy
Platanthera chorisiana was first described by Adelbert von Chamisso in 1828 as Habenaria chorisiana.
