Sovereign Yachts was an American boat builder based in Port Richey, Florida. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats. The company was founded by Doug Steeg in 1978. History Steeg started the company in 1978 and produced a line of sailboats that included the Sovereign 17, Sovereign 7.0 and the Antares 17. The company went out of business after ten years, in 1988. The company did not name who their designers were for many of their boats, like the Sovereign 17 and credited them as the "Sovereign Design Group". Custom Fiberglass Products of Florida (CFPF) was founded by Robbie Bowen and built fiberglass boat components for other builders under contract, including decks liners and hulls for Captiva Yachts and Sovereign Yachts. When Sovereign Yachts ceased business in 1988, CFPF bought the assets, including ownership of the hull molds and started producing the boats, under the Sovereign Yachts name, the former company essentially becoming a brand. The existing boats were sold under a variety of new designations and with minor changes from year to year. The Sovereign 20 was added to the product line. In 1992 the small cruising boats designed by Reuban Trane were also added, including his Peep Hen, Mud Hen and Bay Hen 21. CFPF went out of business in 1994, but one of their salesmen, Terry Chapman, bought the molds and the rights to the designs. In 1996 he started a new company to produce the boats, Sovereign 96. The company quickly encountered financial issues and was bought out by Jim MacDougald that same year. He founded Sovereign America, Inc to produce the designs. Sovereign America, Inc lasted two years, going out of business in 1998 and the molds were acquired by Nimble Boats Works Inc of Tampa, Florida, who built Trane's Peep Hen design. Nimble Boats remained in business in 2022, but no longer produced sailboats. In his 2010 book, The Sailor's Book of Small Cruising Sailboats, Steve Henkel was critical of the company based on his encounters with them in the 1980s and in particular its sales staff, whom he termed "unhelpful" and the marketing department, whom he stated "made wild claims". He noted that their sales brochures were so inconsistent that he wrote, "we can't help but wonder about the accuracy of the companies claimed specifications. Be cautious before buying." He was also disdainful of a number of their designs, noting anonymous designers, under-sized rigs, lacklustre designs, poor sailing qualities and ineffective keels. He also noted that the boats were "grossly overpriced" when sold new, compared to their competitors at the time.

After Cradock's squadron was destroyed at the Battle of Coronel by von Spee, Canopus was assigned to defend Stanley Harbour, and fired the first shots at the Battle of the Falkland Islands, when von Spee's squadron was destroyed. In 1915, Canopus took part in the Dardanelles Campaign, for which Grant was appointed a CB.

The San Carlos was a 18th-century Spanish packet boat built in 1765 at the Royal Shipyard of Havana, Cuba. The ship entered service in 1765 with two-decks and 80 guns. In 1775, the San Carlos was the first ship to enter the San Francisco Bay, under the command of Spanish naval officer and explorer, Lieutenant Juan Manuel de Ayala. In 1801, it sailed to Cartagena, Spain and converted into a three-deck ship with 112 guns. Construction and service The San Carlos was built in 1765 at the Royal Shipyard of Havana, on the island of Cuba. It was launched on April 30, 1765. The Spanish two-masted galleon was 58-ft. in length and carried 80 guns. It could handle a crew of 30 men. San Diego expedition During the Spanish rule of California, Spain's inspector general José de Gálvez organized a Portola Expedition for a joint land-sea movement up the Pacific coast. It was led by Gaspar de Portolá, governor of Las Californias. The first leg of the expedition consisted of five groups all departing from Baja California and heading north for San Diego. Three groups traveled by sea while two others traveled by land in mule trains. The three ships built in San Blas, Mexico, set sail for San Diego in early 1768. The flagship San Carlos, captained by Don Vicente Vila, a lieutenant of the Royal Navy; the San Antonio, captained by Juan Pérez, a native of Palma de Majorca; and the San José. The ships crossed the Gulf of California, from San Blas and reached the east coast harbor of La Paz at the tip of Baja California, on December 1768, requiring repairs. They San Carlos had to unload so that repairs could be made. On January 9, 1769, the flagship San Carlos left the port of La Paz. Inspector general Gálvez, padre Junípero Serra, and the town residents blessed and send off the San Carlos and its chaplain, Franciscan friar Fernando Parrón. Don Vicente Vila was still in command, followed by lieutenant Pedro Fages, who became Lieutenant Governor of the Californias under Gaspar de Portolá, and engineer and cartographer Miguel Costansó. Gálvez supervised the repairs and loading of the ship. It carried 25 Catalan soldiers under Fages' command; surgeon Pedro Prat of the Royal Navy, and Hernando Patron as chaplain. The San Antonio arrived in San Diego Bay on April 11, 1769, and the San Carlos on April 29th. Many crew members on both ships had fallen ill, mostly from scurvy; all but two on the San Carlos crewman had died. The expedition's surgeon Prat struggled to treat the ill men, as he was weakened from scurvy. Friar Parrón had become weak with scurvy as well. Despite the efforts of Prat, many of the ill men died in San Diego. Because of the men lost on the San Carlos, it was decided that the San Carlos, Father Serra, and Vila would remain in San Diego. San Francisco Bay expedition Six years later, the Spanish naval vessel San Carlos took on supplies and left Monterey on July 26, 1775, to San Francisco. After that, they continued north to locate the "Bay of San Francisco", and claim the area for Spain. The San Carlos was the first ship to enter the San Francisco Bay, under the command of Spanish naval officer and explorer, Lieutenant Juan Manuel de Ayala. It was sent by viceroy Antonio María de Bucareli to survey the waters of the San Francisco Bay. The San Carlos reached the Golden Gate entrance to the San Francisco Bay on August 5, 1775. The San Carlos dropped anchor by an island which was christened the Isla de los Ángeles, now known as Angel Island. The ship pilots set out in longboats to chart the rivers of the bay. On August 12, 1775, Ayala gave the name La Isla de los Alcatraces, now called Yerba Buena Island. The ship remained in the Bay until September 18, 1775, returning to San Blas. Ayala gave a full account of the geography of the San Francisco Bay. The California Historical Landmark marker No. 236, honors the San Carlos, which was the first ship to enter San Francisco Bay. The marker is located in the Aquatic Park Historic District near the corner of Beach and Larkin Streets. Below is a quote from this landmark. Conversion In 1801, the San Carlos sailed to Cartagena, Spain and it was converted into a three-deck ship with 112-guns. She was broken up in 1819 in Cartagena.

The Klaipėda Region Christian Socialists Workers' Union (, ) or CSA was a far-right Nazi party in the Klaipėda Region. History The Klaipėda Region Christian Socialists Workers' Union was registered on 1 June 1933 in Klaipėda. It consisted of the secret Klaipėda branch of the Nazi Party. Its 18 members, declaring their loyalty to the Government of Lithuania and calling themselves the CSA list, participated in the elections to the Seimelis of the Klaipėda Region on 22 February 1933 and won them. On the instructions of the NSDAP leadership in Munich, , a priest of the Klaipėda Evangelical Lutheran Church, and Hanno von der Ropp, the Chief Prosecutor of the Klaipėda Regional Court, reorganized the list into a party. The leadership of the region consisted of 7 people: chairman Theodor Freiherr von Sass, Adjutant Deputy Hanno von der Ropp, Personal Secretary Ernst Gaebler, Head of Affairs P. Klein, and others. The counties leadership consisted of 4 commanders, who led the commanders of districts groups, blocks, and cells. Following the example of the NSDAP strikers, the CSA organized 9 detachments. Firstly they were named hall guards (), later strike squads (). The CSA published the Nazi newspaper People's Courier (). At the beginning of 1934, the CSA had 2,258 members who were civil servants, reserve officers, teachers. The CSA coordinated its activity with , head of the East Division of the NSDAP Munich office, Hans Moser, head of the Tilsit County NSDAP, Hofmann, head of the Sturmabteilung (SA) of Tilsit, and Erich Koch, Oberpräsident of East Prussia. The leaders of the old German parties in the Klaipėda Region (Memel Agricultural Party and Memel People's Party) convinced the NSDAP leadership that Sass was too weak to implement the plans of the Nazis and nominated as the head of the CSA. Nevertheless, Sass refused to hand over leadership, hoping for Adolf Hitler's personal decision. Consequently, Neumann then formed a new political party based on Nazism, the Sozialistische Volksgemeinschaft des Memelgebiets (SOVOG), and a struggle for power began between the CSA and SOVOG. The German consul H. Strack tried to reconcile and unite the two sides on 2 July 1933. A few months later, when the SOVOG strengthened itself, the NSDAP stopped funding the CSA, and many of its members switched to SOVOG. The Lithuanian authorities did not immediately evaluated the Nazi activities of the CSA and at first they were glad that the CSA was destroying the old German parties in the Klaipėda Region.

The Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park, also colloquially known as the Sia Boey Park, is an urban archaeology park in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Located beside the Prangin Road, the Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park was opened in 2019 as the first Urban Archaeological Park in Malaysia. The Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park contains various recreational amenities, such as a koi fish-filled revitalised Prangin Canal, aged-old trees and a playground for the kids, all of which are open to the public. The park is maintained by the Penang Development Corporation. The cost of diverting and restoring the old canal, as well as the construction of the new canal and "archaeological" works, was RM9.1 million ringgit, while the Old Prangin Market was being restored at a cost of RM5.1 million. History With operations concentrated around the Prangin Canal, the 19th-century market hall, and the shophouses, “Sia Boey” was an early trading area in George Town. "Sia Boey" in Hokkien and "Ujong Pasir" in Malay both mean "end of the town." Sia Boey has long been a hub for community participation, a place where people can connect and socialise. The Hokkien community established an urban settlement around the Canal in the mid-1880s, with a lively market hall in the centre and shophouses surrounding it, while the thriving trading sector also included Malays, Indians and Acehnese. Following the relocation of the Sia Boey Market to Macallum Street Ghaut in early 2000s, the site was earmarked for a while as Penang Island's transit hub. This grew into the Komtar LRT Station, which was originally planned to be built on top of the idle market building, but because to local resistance, the station was moved to Magazine Road instead, saving the heritage structure from demolition. In October 2015, the Centre for Global Archaeological Research, University of Science Malaysia, discovered a granite construction that was eventually identified as the Old Prangin Canal Basin. Penang Development Corporation, as the project owner, and George Town World Heritage Incorporated, as the project partner, were motivated by the archaeological potential of these discoveries to develop the site into Malaysia's first Urban Archaeological Park. In February 2018, the Technical Review Panel (TRP) approved the rejuvenation after hearing the plans. Following the completion of the diversion in October 2016, the Sia Boey Rejuvenation Project was officially kickstarted on March 25, 2018, the rehabilitation took undertaken from May to August 2018, with the goal of transforming Sia Boey into a place where development and historical conservation can coexist. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow officially opened the country's first Urban Archeological Park on 9 November 2019. The Sia Boey Urban Archeological Park adds to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town. It adds to the great universal value by providing programming and space for local residents, as well as repairing shophouses and embodying the cohabitation of heritage conservation, cultural heritage education, urban greenery, and sustainable development.

Edipo Re is an opera generally attributed to Ruggero Leoncavallo, although there is some dispute about the authorship. The libretto is by Giovacchino Forzano It had its premiere in Chicago in 1920. The opera was published posthumously in 1920 and was completed and orchestrated by Giovanni Pennacchio. Leoncavallo biographer Konrad Dryden disputes whether Leoncavallo composed the opera at all, stating that "it is extremely doubtful whether Edipo Re, Maschera nuda or the short operetta Il primo bacio had anything to do with the composer at all." Other sources continue to attribute it to Leoncavallo with completion by Pennacchio. Edipo Re was premiered by the Chicago Opera in 1920. It had its Italian operatic premiere in 1958, although a performance was broadcast on Italian radio in 1939. The plot of Edipo Re is based on Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. According to music journalist William Schoelle, the opera contains "a dynamic opening chorus, excellent vocal writing, a major aria for Oedipus, and a sublime love duet whose only disappointing factor is its brevity. Some of the music for the opera is taken from Leoncavallo's 1904 opera Der Roland von Berlin.

Walter Gustave Haenschen ( - March 27, 1980) was an arranger and composer of music and an orchestra conductor, primarily on old-time radio programs. Early years Haenschen was born in St. Louis to parents who had come from Germany and settled in that city. His father was Walter Haenschen, an invalid, and his mother was Frieda Haenschen. All of his family played music or sang, including an aunt who was a concert pianist. His uncle taught music in Europe and in Chicago. Haenschen attended McKinley High School. While he was in elementary school, he carried newspapers to earn money, and as a high-school student he and some friends formed the Eclipse Novelty Company to make pennants to sell at football games. As a teenager, he played piano to accompany silent films in St. Louis theaters. Haenschen's involvement in music progressed in 1913, when he was an undergraduate student in mechanical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. He was asked to help with the university's annual Quadrangle Club musical show, and his involvement grew from helping to a promise "to shoulder the entire musical responsibility for the production". Haenschen asked musicians in St. Louis for advice about conducting and arranging music, and their tips helped him to produce the program and to form a career in music. He also expanded his musical talents by learning to play the cello, cornet, and double bass. While he continued in his engineering studies, Haenschen began to focus more on music, organizing a band and producing another musical program. That second program included his new composition, "Moorish Tango", which became popular with dancers in the St. Louis area. Some dancers from out of town heard the song when they were visiting, and later Haenschen received a telegram asking for permission to use the song in a Broadway show. That initial use of the song on Broadway caused Haenschen to go to New York City, where his dealing with Max Dreyfus resulted in publication of the song as "Moorish Glide". After that, Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. re-titled the song "Underneath the Japanese Moon" and used it in his Ziegfeld Follies. Career Early career Haenshcen graduated college in 1914 as an engineer, but he pursued a career in music. He led and managed a ragtime orchestra that was popular and made him "locally famous" in St. Louis. The group's engagements included two years of playing for open-air dances in St. Louis's city parks. Brewery owner August Anheuser Busch Sr. helped Haenschen to get additional musical work at social events, including country-club dances, and Haenschen's band sometimes played between innings at home games of the Busch-owned St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. He formed a service that booked orchestras for performances in St. Louis and in several states. Haenschen also became manager of the Vandervoort Music Salon's "talking machine department", a position that he left when he enlisted in the Navy, where he served as an ensign until his June 1918 discharge. In 1919, Haenschen joined Brunswick Records as manager of the company's popular-records department. Radio and television In 1923, Haenschen began his career as a conductor of radio orchestras, starting at WJZ in New York City. In the mid-1940s, he directed the orchestra at WJR in Detroit. He also conducted orchestras for network radio programs, including The Palmolive Hour, Bayer Musical Review; Coca-Cola Song Shop; Lavender and Old Lace; Maxwell House Show Boat; The Album of American Music; and Saturday Night Serenade. In 1950, Haenschen signed with Harry Bluestone to record The Broadway Parade, a series of transcribed programs. His other transcribed radio programs included Chevrolet Musical Moments Revue. In the late 1940s, Haenschen and two partners formed HRH Television Features Corporation to produce English versions of grand opera for television. By April 1949 they had 57 operas ready for production. Each opera was condensed in a way that maintained continuity, eliminating "the unimportant and often tiresome parts of the score, retaining only the important parts." Other conducting While he worked for Brunswick Records, Haenschen conducted the company's house orchestra on recordings. Because of anti-German feelings at that time, immediately after World War I, he used the name Carl Fenton Orchestra on record labels. In the mid-1940s, Gus Haenschen's All-String Orchestra was an ensemble affiliated with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Composing and arranging Songs composed by Haenschen included "Easy Melody", "Silver Star", "Lullaby of Love", "Manhattan Merry-Go-Round", and "Rosita". He sometimes used the pseudonym Paul Crane for compositions, including "Down on the Farm", "President Harding March", "President Coolidge March", "The St. Louis Society Dance", and (with A. Bernard) "Keep on Going, When You Get Where You're Going You Won't Be Missed at All".Haenschen composed some of the music for the Broadway production Grand Street Follies (1926), and he was the arranger for the musical No Foolin''' (1926). He and Arthur W. Profix composed the musical The Hawaiian Follies'' (1918). Later career After Haenschen stopped conducting, he worked with G. H. Johnston on broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. Personal life and death Haenschen was married to Roxanne Hussy, and they had two daughters and a son. He received an honorary doctor of music degree from Ithaca College in 1945. He died on March 27, 1980, in Stamford Hospital, aged 90.

The Plaza de la Democracia, officially Plaza de la Democracia y de la Abolición del Ejército (English: "Plaza of Democracy and the Abolition of the Military") is a public plaza located in San Jose, the national capital of Costa Rica. The plaza is located directly in front of the national congress building, which houses the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica, and is flanked by the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica and the Museo del Jade Marco Fidel Tristán Castro. History The plaza was inaugurated in 1989, to commemorate the centennial of former president Bernardo Soto Alfaro's decision to withdraw from power rather than violently contesting his loss to José Joaquín Rodríguez Zeledón in the 1889 election. It was given its longer name in 2016, as the plaza was also the site of the abolition of the Costa Rican military in 1948. References Historic sites in Costa Rica

Space Minds, New Worlds, Survival of America is an album by violinist and composer Leroy Jenkins. It was recorded in August and September 1978, and was released on LP by Tomato Records in 1979. On the album, Jenkins is joined by George Lewis on electronics and trombone, Richard Teitelbaum on synthesizer, Anthony Davis on electric piano and piano, and Andrew Cyrille on percussion. The album consists of two contrasting sides. Side A, marked "Play loud," is a single, long, suite-like composition titled "Space Minds, New Worlds, Survival of America," featuring electronic instruments, while side B, marked "Play soft," features four pieces played on acoustic instruments. Jenkins explained the album title: "Space Minds" concerns "the space age and how that will affect the minds of people in the future." "New Worlds" pertains to "the way certain things — ideas, nations — are going down and others are coming up, with science moving into new worlds... a new consciousness." Regarding "Survival of America," Jenkins stated: "America seems to be the key to the world's relations, so that means survival period." Reception In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "Space Minds, New Worlds, Survival of America represented Leroy Jenkins' first venture into a field where contemporary classical and jazz were beginning to merge, a more modern Third Stream... The piece uses extensive improvised passages, but both the written material and the rhythms employed are relatively distant from a jazz feel, though with Jenkins a strong blues affinity is never far beneath the surface... Space Minds... is a fine album, one of Jenkins' best outside of the Revolutionary Ensemble, and an excellent introduction to his world." The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings commented: "Space Minds is... reminiscent of Jenkins's AACM-influenced Revolutionary Ensemble. It has the intensity — one might almost say moral intensity — of the RE's powerful... ESP recording Vietnam. Davis and Cyrille act as a twin centre of gravity to which the others make repeated reference. To that extent Jenkins is a traditionalist rather than a radical." Writing for All About Jazz in 2003, Rex Butters commented: "That this quarter century old artifact sounds as fresh as it does testifies to the vision of its creators... Jenkins and company work wonders on the collective improvs, gracefully weaving and circling each other..." Track listing All compositions by Leroy Jenkins. Side A: Play loud.

Margarete Eisenmann (1868-1942 in Treblinka concentration camp) was a Jewish art collector who was murdered in the Holocaust Life Eisenmann(1868-1942) was born in Berlin. Her father was de Wilhelm (Wolf) von Ledermann-Wartberg and her mother was Elise von Ledermann-Wartberg. She married Felix Samuel Eisenmann (1855-1918). The couple had one son, Günther Bernhard Eisenmann. Her father-in-law was Raphael Eisenmann (1821-1893). It was from him that she inherited the Lucas Cranach the Elder's painting, The Resurrection, (1530). Nazi persecution When the Nazis come to power in German in 1933, Eisenmann and her family were persecuted because of their Jewish heritage. She was, in accordance with Hitler's anti-Jewish laws, robbed of her property and forced to pay a Jewish Wealth Tax, or Judenvermögensabgabe, instated under the Nazi regime in 1938. The tax required German Jews with an annual income over RM 5,000 to pay 20 percent of their assets to the state. Eisenmann was arrested and sent to the Theresienstandt Ghetto in September 1942 and killed at the Treblinka concentration camp. Her estate was seized and auctioned off. Eisenmann's son Günther and grandson Percy Henschel survived Nazi persecution. Claims for restitution of looted artworks After the war, in 1949, the looted Cranach painting resurfaced in a Sotheby's sale in London, where it had been consigned by dealer Hans W. Lange, whose auction house was known for forced sales of Jewish-owned property. It passed through the hands of New York dealers Hugo Perls and the Knoedler gallery before Eugene Thaw bought it around 1968. Eisenmann's son and grandson attempted to recover the Cranach. No other works from the family's estate are known to have been successfully recovered. Henschel died in 2007. “The last time it was seen, it was hanging on a wall in Hitler’s chancellery,” he said in an interview with the Guardian a year before he died. . “This painting represents all that I lost.” A settlement was reached concerning the Cranach in 2021.

From 1874, for six years, he studied the works of Italian painters while in Italy, mainly Venice, under the support of a state scholarship. He was a significant art historian from the 1870s to the 1890s who was involved in the 1871 congress on the Dresden Holbeinstreit (Dresden Holbein Controversy), a seminal event on two paintings attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, which drove a more exact methodology on attribution.

He corresponded with significant painters of his time and was a close friend to Arnold Böcklin. In 1897 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Leipzig. Bayersdorfer was one of the founders of the German Institute of Art History in Florence. Chess composition In his spare time, Bayersdorfer composed chess problems. He headed the newspaper chess column in the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten from 1888 until his death. As a chess composer he was particularly fond of economy, effective key moves and pure mate pictures. He also worked on a systematisation of mate pictures and gave his name to two composition themes. A year after Bayersdorfer's death, Johannes Kohtz and Carl Kockelkorn published a book on Bayersdorfer's chess problems.

The Gonds of Deogarh were a royal Gond royal house that founded and ruled the Nagpur Kingdom before being practically being made state pensionaries by the Bhonsle Maratha leader Raghoji I Bhonsle. They made Nagpur a prosperous and plentiful kingdom, founding the city of Nagpur and building further infrastructure. However, internal bickering led to their downfall. Establishment The Gauli princes were the predecessors to the Gond house of Deogarh, ruling for 70 years from 1472 to 1542. The Gond dynasty of Deogarh was founded by a Gond named Jatba. The Indian Antiquities says that Jatba was a servant under two Gaoli princes, Ransur and Ghansur, and that he treacherously deposed them. Originally, the Gond house of Devagad hailed from Haraya or Harayagad, but later on it was shifted to Devagad about 24 miles from Haraya under Jatba. Relations with the Mughals The Ain-i-Akbari by Abul Fazl records that Jatba, the Gond king of Deogarh, was a vassal of Akbar and was paying annual tribute to him. It is said that Akbar visited Deogarh during Jatba's reign. The Ain-i-Akbari by Abul Fazl says that Jatba possessed 2,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers and 100 elephants- "To the east of the Kherla Sarkar lay the territories of a zamindar named Chatwa who possessed 2000 cavalry, 50,000 footmen and more than 100 elephants". This 'Chatwa' was probably Jatba. Decline After Chand Sultan's death in 1739, there were quarrels over the succession, leading to the thone being usurped by Wali Shah, an illegitimate son of Bakht Buland Shah. Chand Sultan's widow invoked the aid of the Maratha leader Raghuji Bhonsle of Berar in the interest of her sons Akbar Shah and Burhan Shah. Wali Shah was put to death and the rightful heirs placed on the throne. Raghoji I Bhonsle was sent back to Berar with a plentiful bounty for his aid. The Maratha general judged that Nagpur must be a plentiful and rich country by the magnificence of his reward. However, dissensions continued between the brothers and once again, the elder brother Burhan Shah requested the aid of Raghuji Bhonsla. Akbar Shah was driven into exile and finally poisoned at Hyderabad. However this time, Ragoji Bhonsle did not have the heart to leave such a plentiful and rich country, with it being within his grasp. He declared himself 'protector' of the Gond king. Thus in 1743, Burhan Shah was practically made a state pensionary, with real power being in the hands of the Maratha ruler. After this event the history of the Gond kingdom of Deogarh is not recorded. A series of Maratha rulers came to power following the fall of the Gonds from the throne of Nagpur, starting with Raghoji Bhonsle. Titular rulers under the Marathas and British Raja Burhan Shah was succeeded by Rahman Shah. He was succeeded by Suleiman Shah, a minor, his nephew and adopted son, succeeded him, just two years before the death of the last Bhonsle king. Suleiman Shah was staunchly loyal to the British government, he was a most humane and generous landlord and a just yet a merciful magistrate. He died on 15 April 1885.

Time Travel: A History is a book by science history writer James Gleick, published in 2016, which covers time travel, the origin of idea and of its usage in literature. The book received mostly positive reviews. Synopsis In the book Gleick researches time travel, the emergence of this idea and its usage in literature, and how it shapes life of a modern person. In an interview for National Geographic Gleick said: At some point during the four years I worked on this book, I also realized that, in one way or another, every time travel story is about death. Death is either explicitly there in the foreground or lurking in the background because time is a bastard, right? Time is brutal. What does time do to us? It kills us. Time travel is our way of flirting with immortality. It's the closest we’re going to come to it. Reception The book received mostly positive reviews. Nicola Davis of The Guardian wrote that "Time Travel is intoxicating, but that is only in part down to Gleick's execution. Much of this is well trodden ground, our enduring fascination with the notion sown long ago by many adroit hands. At times, Gleick seems to get lost in his own, sometimes opaque, musings. Parts of the book are frustratingly repetitive, while his practice of paraphrasing obscure time travel stories before analysing their finer points too often feels like the dinner party anecdote that rather feebly concludes 'Well, you had to be there really'." Nick D Burton wrote for the Wired that the book "quantum leaps from HG Wells's The Time Machine – the original – via Proust and alt-history right up to your Twitter timeline. Until we get the DeLorean working for real, fellow travellers, consider it the next best thing". Anthony Doerr wrote for The New York Times that "Time Travel, like all of Gleick's work, is a fascinating mash-up of philosophy, literary criticism, physics and cultural observation. It's witty ("Regret is the time traveler's energy bar"), pithy ("What is time? Things change, and time is how we keep track") and regularly manages to twist its reader's mind into those Gordian knots I so loved as a boy." Will Mann, reviewing the book for International Policy Digest, praised it though pointed that However, despite these praises, Gleick’s argument about the intersection between scientific discovery and art starts to dissipate towards the final third of the book. Some chapters, such as the penultimate one, entitled "What is Time?" less resembles a history of a subgenre within the greater science fiction canon and more resembles a heavy philosophic dissertation. Certainly, time travel is a concept that philosophers have tried to grasp and theorize about ever since its invention. Dave Goldberg wrote for Nature Physics that "As to the practical possibility of time travel, Gleick is something of a sceptic. Common sense, he argues, suggests that the past really is immutable, no matter how clever the theoretical models that imply otherwise. And despite the apparent symmetry of the microscopic laws of physics, there really is, he argues, something different about the future and the past. 'The future hasn't been written yet. When did that become controversial?'" References 2016 non-fiction books Popular science books Works about time Pantheon Books books
The Glades County Detention Center, at 1297 East State Road 78 in remote Moore Haven, Florida, opened in 2007 with 440 beds. Operated by the Glades County Sheriff's Office, besides Glades County arrestees, 90% of its beds house Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees, which were previously spread around many county jails. It is Glades County's largest employer. It has been the site of widespread abuses, and in 2022, 17 members of Congress asked that it be closed. 2018–2020 complaints In 2018, Muslims complained of not being able to observe Ramadan, with Christians, according to them, receiving preferential treatment. In 2019, a group of Muslim inmates filed suit alleging they were denied "adequate prayer services, copies of the Quran, religious headwear, and religiously compliant diets. When asked by one detained immigrant why Muslims were treated so disfavorably, the chaplain replied, 'Boy, you’re in Glades County.'" In April of 2020, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Immigration Clinic at the University of Miami School of Law, and other plaintiffs sued the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Attorney General. They sought the release of inmates at Glades and its other south Florida centers, Krome Processing Center in Miami-Dade and the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach, claiming that ICE was not following CDC guidelines to minimize Covid transmission. (Other Florida counties whose detention centers have contracts to house ICE detainees are Baker, Collier, Monroe, Pinellas, and Wakulla.) 2021 complaints In February of 2021, a civil rights complaint, described as "scathing" in a newspaper, was filed by three immigrants' rights organizations with the Inspector General and the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security. Although the Glades County center "has ranked among the nation’s most COVID-riddled detention centers." According to the complaint, masks and Covid tests are not available, temperatures are only taken irregularly, and the center's one doctor had Covid and did not wear a mask. Detainees reporting abuses are punished. A civil rights complaint was filed March 4 with the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties under the Department of Homeland Security concerning what were described as retaliatory actions against two of the plaintiffs in the February complaint. In June of 2021, according to Doctors for Camp Closure, "The people held at this immigration detention center report not having access to medical attention, negligence, inadequate physical distancing or masks." In August of 2021, according to Scientific American, the Glades County facility was not diluting chemicals used for disinfection and Covid prevention according to the manufacturer's directions. In September 2021, about 100 detainees, as did detainees at other facilities, participated in a hunger strike. According to inmates who had already been in federal prisons, conditions at Glades were worse. In October of 2021, the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security, after an audit, reported that the "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not always comply with segregation reporting requirements [Covid segregation] and did not ensure detention facilities complied with records retention requirements." According to the report, Congress—where the House of Representatives held a hearing on September 26, 2019—"and the public have expressed concerns regarding prolonged or excessive use of segregation at ICE detention facilities. From FY 2015 through FY 2019, the DHS OIG Hotline received 1,200 allegations related to concerns about segregation." In November of 2021 a coalition of groups wrote the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requesting that it cancel its contract with Glades County for the Glades County Detention Center (“Glades”) because of what it called a "systemic and consistentent pattern of racism and anti-Blackness towards Black immigrants." The groups were the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, Americans for Immigrant Justice, Borderless Existence Initiative, Detention Watch Network, Doctors for Camp Closure, Envision Freedom Fund, Freedom for Immigrants, Immigrant Action Alliance, Southern Poverty Law Center, University of Miami School of Law Immigration Clinic, United We Dream, and Qlatinx. The 157-page document contains numerous sworn statements about misconduct experienced or witnessed. 2022 complaints In January of 2022, the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida wrote Acting ICE Director Tae D. Johnson and David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States (head of the National Archives), calling for an end to systematic, and in their judgment illegal, erasure of surveillance video at the Glades County facility, in violation of federal recordkeeping law and contractual requjrements. On February 1, 2022, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and 16 other members of Congress sent a joint letter to Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, pointing out that reports of abuses had increased since their complaint in the summer of 2021, and asking that it be closed. According to their complaint, "immigrants have been subject to racist abuse, often resulting in verbal abuse and violence; sexual abuse, including sexual voyeurism by guards who have watched women shower; life-endangering COVID-19 and medical neglect, including a near-fatal carbon monoxide leak last November; and regular exposure to highly dangerous levels of a toxic disinfectant chemical spray linked to severe medical harms and long-term damage to reproductive health."

Sabina Baldoncelli (b. 1781) was an Italian orphan who was trained in her Bologna orphanage by the pharmacist Margherita Trippi. She went on to earn a degree in pharmacy from the University of Bologna and became a practicing pharmacist, but was allowed to do so only at the orphanage where she grew up. Life and work Baldoncelli was born in Bologna as Sabitina Balducelli in 1781 or 1782, but after her father died, when she was 12 or 13, the family suffered economic woes and her mother remarried, resulting in Sabina being sent to the orphanage of the Putte dei Mendicanti di S. Caterina. After she arrived at the orphanage, a pharmacy was established to accommodate the needs of orphans as well as other area residents. The pharmacy was run by Margherita Trippi, who had passed a pharmaceutical review by the University of Bologna's College of Medicine in April 1796, and who began teaching pharmaceutical chemistry to Baldoncelli. Trippi had not qualified for a university degree because she was a woman, but a week after finishing her university studies, she "received the approval of the College of Medicine and her license to practice in a ceremony at the church of S. Matteo, with no restriction placed on her practice." After working and studying with Trippi for three years, Baldoncelli moved on to study with university professors: pharmaceuticals and general chemistry from Francesco Maria Coli, medicine with Professor Ungarelli and botany with Professor Scannagatta. It appears that Trippi was instrumental in making those studies possible. At the conclusion of Baldoncelli's successful studies, she had completed her coursework sufficiently to obtain a university degree in pharmacy. As Baldoncelli herself stressed in her 1807 petition to the Royal Directorate of Public Instruction at Milan, she had received the same education that male pharmacy students received at the university. One should also note that she had had three years of practical experience, which most male students probably lacked.Authorities in Milan authorized Baldoncelli to take the university examinations in pharmacy because she was a special case, an orphan, who lived in an orphanage. However there was a considerable restriction placed on her future work, she would only be allowed to practice pharmaceutical chemistry in the orphanage and not in secular pharmacies. Therefore, she was not allowed to practice elsewhere in Bologna even if she wanted to. Male pharmacists did not have similar restrictions placed upon their places of work. The Napolelonic era degree requirements of the time were threefold. They mandated that she had to complete a year of practice at the orphanage's pharmacy and she did so under the supervision of both Trippi and Colli. Then Baldoncelli "carried out the experimental part of her examination in December 1808 at the chemical laboratories of the university in the presence of her teacher Coli and another pharmacist. Finally, the oral part of the examination took place a few days later, when she had to answer questions in botany, materia medica, chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and practical pharmacy." She received her university degree in 1809 and practiced in the orphanage's pharmacy. Thereafter, the names of Baldoncelli and Trippi both appeared regularly in the list of qualified pharmacists for the Bologna region. For the 1829 list, however, Baldoncelli's name disappeared and Trippi's name remained but it is thought that the list was merely incomplete. For the 1833 list, Baldoncelli and Trippi are both included, but in 1846, neither name appears. References External sources Frize M.

First Baptist Church City of St. Louis, located in Midtown St. Louis at 3100 Bell Avenue in St. Louis, was founded as First African Baptist Church in 1827. It was the first African-American church west of the Mississippi River. Initially, most of the congregants were African American enslaved people who had permission from their owners to attend church. From its beginning, the church offered reading and religious education clandestinely. The city of St. Louis enacted laws to restrict assembly, education, and religious services for black people. In 1847, the school was closed down by the police. The same year, Reverend John Berry Meachum established the Floating Freedom School on a steamboat on the Mississippi River, where it was under federal jurisdiction. The church was a stopping point on the Underground Railroad. A second building was constructed next to the church in 1952 for educational and recreational facilities, including a combination gymnasium and auditorium for up to 3,000 people. In 1997, the church partnered with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's IN UNISON choral ensemble program. The church is a member of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. History The First African Baptist Church had its beginnings in 1817, when two Baptist missionaries, John Mason Peck and James Welch, established the Sabbath School for Negroes in St. Louis, with the assistance of John Berry Meachum. Meachum began preaching and assisting the missionaries in 1821. Reverend Peck provided guidance and supervision during monthly visits. Reverend Meachum, ordained by Reverend Peck in 1825, founded the First African Baptist Church in 1827. It was then independent of the missionaries. The church, described as a "plain and comfortable brick house for worship", was located at Third and Almond (now Market) Street. It was the first African-American church west of the Mississippi River. An ordinance was passed in 1825 that made it illegal for African Americans to assemble, unless they had a permit and the events were attended by a police officer. The church required enslaved people to have permission of their owners to attend the church, which eased the concerns of many influential community members. While he was transparent about who might attend church services, Meachum secretly operated a school for blacks in the basement of the church called the Tallow Candle School. It taught reading and Biblical scriptures and also provided a worship service. The school admitted all people who wished to receive an education, and it charged a monthly tuition of one dollar per pupil for those who could afford to pay. Some of the pupils chose to be baptized and become members of the church. The congregation grew from 14 people at its founding to 220 people by 1829. Two hundred of the parishioners were slaves, who could only travel to the church and attend services with the permission of their owners. The church was a stopping point on the Underground Railroad. The church grew to more than 500 people by the 1840s. On March 22, 1846, 22 or 23 of its members were released from the church and founded the Second Colored Baptist Church (now the Central Baptist Church). In most cases, the founding members had moved west of the church and desired a location closer to their homes. In 1847, the school was closed by the police. Meachum then opened the Floating Freedom School on a steamboat on the Mississippi River. Since it was anchored in the Mississippi River, it was under the jurisdiction of the federal government and not subject to the Missouri laws and ordinances. A larger church was built between Fourth and Fifth Street in 1848. Meachum died while delivering a sermon in 1854. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported in 1874, that the church numbered 3,600 with 30 deacons. On the second Sunday in May of that year, 125 baptisms were performed by Rev. Mr. Holmes, a former enslaved man who was emancipated after the end of the Civil War. People who wished to become members first met with the church's membership committee for their neighborhood, and if approved, they then met with the pastor, followed by a vote being taken of the members. The church moved to its current location in Midtown St. Louis in 1917. In 1940, a fire destroyed the church, which was rebuilt over the following 13 months. In 1952, a separate two-story building was constructed for education and recreational facilities, including 10 classrooms, a combination auditorium and gymnasium for up to 3,000 people, and recreation rooms. In 1997, the church partnered with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's IN UNISON choral ensemble program. A history museum is located in the basement of the church.

Storm Eunice () (known as Storm Zeynep in Germany and Storm Nora in Denmark) was an intense extratropical cyclone that is part of the 2021–2022 European windstorm season. Storm Eunice was named by the UK Met Office on 14 February 2022. On 16 February, an amber weather warning was issued for the whole of Southern England, Wales and the Midlands. A red weather warning was subsequently issued on 17 February for parts of South West England and South Wales, with a second red warning issued on 18 February for London, the South East and East of England. Eunice has set a provisional record for the fastest wind gust recorded in England with 122 miles per hour (196 km/h) at The Needles, Isle of Wight. The storm was one of the most powerful to impact the south coast of England since the Great Storm of 1987. The storm caused a huge amount of damage in parts of Western, Central and Northern Europe; millions of people were left without power across affected areas, and many homes had sustained damage. The UK was particularly hard hit, with 1.4 million people left without power at its peak. Several other countries were struck hard by Eunice, with wind damage being mostly the cause of it. Heavy winds damaged parts of buildings, and wind gusts in excess of were recorded. Eunice caused 17 fatalities, and multiple injuries. Meteorology The Met Office named Storm Eunice (as well as Storm Dudley) on 14 February; the Free University of Berlin (FUB) named the same system "Zeynep" on 16 February. Met Éireann of Ireland tweeted that the rapid pressure drop during cyclogenesis met the criteria for explosive cyclogenesis. The storm also developed a sting jet similarly to the Great Storm of 1987. Impact Belgium The roof of the Ghelamco Arena was damaged, resulting in the postponement of the First Division A match between Gent and Seraing scheduled for 18 February. In Tournai, parts of a crane were torn loose and fell on a hospital, damaging the roof and top floor. The town centre of Asse had to be evacuated due to the risk of a church tower collapsing. Public transport was temporarily suspended in large parts of Flanders, with NMBS and De Lijn both announcing trains, buses, and trams were scrapped. Thalys services between Brussels and Amsterdam were also cancelled. Two ships ran adrift off the Belgian coast. The cargo ship drifted through two offshore wind farms, but arrived at its final destination in the Netherlands without sustaining any damage. The oil tanker was forced to lie at anchor in the C-Power offshore wind farm until its rescue by tugboats the next day. Two people died as a result of the heavy winds. In Ypres, a 79-year-old British man drowned after falling from his boat at the marina. In Ghent, a man was hit by a broken solar panel and died in a hospital the next day. At least three others were seriously injured. In Menen, an 18-year-old jogger was taken to a hospital in critical condition after being hit by a loose branch. In Temse, a man sustained a major head injury after a metal plate was ripped off a construction site container. In Veurne, a truck driver was hospitalized after their truck was overturned. Czech Republic The storm had left 26,000 homes without power and several railway lines in the country were suspended. Denmark The Danish Meteorological Institute decided to give the storm the name Nora, believing the name Eunice would be difficult to pronounce in Nordic languages. Nora did not cause significant damage to Denmark, and most models suggest Nora hit it with wind speeds of 60~70 km/h (37~43 mph). They also suggested Nora hit Southern Jutland the most, particularly near the German border as this was where Nora was closest to Denmark from Germany. France In France, an orange warning was issued in 5 departments, with 140 km/h (87mph) winds anticipated in the northernmost points of France, however the peak was 176 km/h (109mph) at Cap Gris Nez.

Two people died in separate car accidents in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia in connection with the storm, authorities said. A man died after falling when trying to repair a damaged roof near Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony in the municipality of Wurster Nordseeküste. In Hamburg, a storm surge up the River Elbe reached 3.75m. A 55-meter crane collapsed on an under-construction office building in Bremen. A post mill at Klettbach, Thuringia was blown down. Photographs show that the main post had snapped where the quarterbars join and the mill had blown over onto its side. It is hoped that the mill can be rebuilt. First estimations expect an insured damage of 900 million Euros.

Sir Cecil Abel (1903–1994) was a missionary, teacher and politician, initially in the Territory of Papua and, from 1975, in the independent nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG). He played an important role in the independence process and is said to have been responsible for the preamble to PNG's constitution. He also played a leading role in the early stages of the Pangu Party, the party that formed the government under prime minister Michael Somare after independence. Early life Cecil Charles Geoffrey Abel was born on 1 February 1903 at Kwato mission, in what is now the Milne Bay Province of PNG, on the eastern tip of New Guinea. He was one of four children of the missionary Charles Abel and Beatrice Abel (née Moxon), who had settled in Kwato in 1890–91. He was initially taught by his mother and, in 1918, was sent to the Sydney Church of England Grammar School (commonly known as Shore). He then went to Cheshunt College, a theology college at Cambridge University in England. After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts, he studied for a diploma in anthropology under A. C. Haddon, who had carried out anthropological research in the Torres Strait Islands, which are situated between the west of PNG and Australia. Missionary career Abel took over as head of the Kwato mission after the death of his father in a car accident in England in 1930. Although frequently compared to his father, his approach as a missionary differed from that of Charles Abel. At Cambridge he had been influenced by the American Lutheran, Frank Buchman, who was founder of the Oxford Group, which would later be known as Moral Re-Armament. While his father had largely stayed in the Kwato mission, Cecil Abel and his siblings began, with government endorsement, to proselytize in other areas, particularly in areas occupied by the Kunika or Keveri people to the west of Kwato. World War Two As a result of Japan's entry into World War II with its attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the majority of non-Papuans were evacuated to Australia. Abel and a colleague, Geoffrey Baskett, were allowed to remain at Kwato. They provided equipment and organized labour to assist the Australian army to develop Milne Bay as a base, and supplied wood from the Kwato mission sawmill. In the Battle of Milne Bay in August–September 1942, the Japanese attack was easily resisted by Australian troops. Later, Abel's knowledge of the area proved useful. He organized labour gangs to build a military airfield, which was named Abel's Field. With his boat, the MV Osiri, one of the few small boats left after the Japanese invasion, he also helped to supply the coastwatchers, who were usually Australians who had not been evacuated and had undertaken to observe enemy movements and rescue stranded Allied personnel. As an ordained minister, Abel also performed marriages at Kwato between American soldiers and the many American nurses that had been sent to Milne Bay. Together with his brother, Russell, he also contributed Tales of New Guinea to the Stevie Seabee newsletter, a daily newsletter published for the American troops. Post-war activities After the war the Kwato mission declined. On 14 August 1951, Abel married Semi Bwagagaia, a schoolteacher from Logea Island and granddaughter of the traditional owner of Kwato. The marriage followed allegations of relationships between Abel and Papuan women at the mission and was objected to by influential Papuans at the mission. At the same time, reduced support from overseas donors still recovering from the war, compounded by apparent financial irregularities during Abel's period as treasurer, threatened the future of the Kwato Extension Association, the body that had managed the mission's assets since being established by his father in 1917. Abel resigned from the mission and eventually moved to PNG's future capital Port Moresby. In 1964 he was asked by the administrator of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, Sir Donald Cleland, to join the staff of the new Administrative College, where he taught political science. Together with a number of his students, including Michael Somare and Albert Maori Kiki, he became involved in an informal group known as the Bully Beef Club. In 1967 this group was the basis for the Pangu Party, which demanded self-government. Abel was elected to the House of Assembly of Papua and New Guinea as a Pangu Party member for Milne Bay (Regional) in 1968. Later that year he drafted the party's economic policy, which emphasised the need to increase overseas capital investment; raise exports in both primary and secondary sectors; reduce imports and encourage import replacement; greatly increase secondary industry; and move from a subsistence to a cash economy. The policy stated that: "We must aim for a reasonable equality of wealth between black and white, or rather, between haves and have nots." After the 1972 elections, in which Abel did not stand, the Pangu Party formed the administration, with Somare as chief minister. Abel remained as an advisor to Somare, who became prime minister following independence in 1975. He is credited with writing the preamble to the Papua New Guinea constitution. Awards and honours Abel was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1972. He was awarded a knighthood (KBE) in 1982. Death Abel died on 25 June 1994 in Brisbane, Australia, after an operation for a brain tumour. Following a memorial ceremony in Port Moresby, with a eulogy from Somare, he was buried at Kwato Island. His wife predeceased him. They had two adopted daughters and an adopted son, Andrew, who is known as a pioneer of surfing in PNG.

Irene Cheng (October 21, 1904 – February 17, 2007; ) was a Hong Kong educationalist. The first Chinese woman to graduate from the University of Hong Kong, she went on to become the highest-ranking woman in the city's Education Department. Throughout her career, she also worked as an educator in mainland China and in the United States. Early life and education Irene Cheng was born Irene Hotung in 1904. She was the daughter of very wealthy Eurasian parents in Hong Kong. Her father, Robert Hotung, was a businessman and philanthropist known as the "grand old man of Hong Kong." Her mother was Hotung's second "co-equal" wife, Clara Hotung. Hers was the first non-white family to live in Hong Kong's elite Victoria Peak neighborhood. After studying at the Diocesan Girls' School, in 1921 Irene became one of the first women admitted to the University of Hong Kong. In 1925, she became the first Chinese woman to graduate from the university, earning a degree in English. She then traveled to Britain to attend King's College London, but her education there was cut short due to family responsibilities; however, she eventually completed a master's in education at Columbia University's Teachers College in 1929. She later attended the University of London, where she obtained a Ph.D. in 1936. In between, she returned to China in the early 1930s to teach at Lingnan University in Guangzhou. Career Throughout her career, Irene Cheng focused her efforts on education, including special education, in both China and the United States. She was a strong proponent of bilingual education. After obtaining her Ph.D., she returned to China in 1937, serving on the staff of the Ministry of Education in Nanjing. In 1940, she married an engineer from Beijing, Cheng Hsiang-hsien, and they had one child together, a daughter named June. However, less than two years into their marriage, her husband died and she became a young widow. She never remarried, as was customary, but she also would later express that she felt she had no time for a husband. In 1948 she returned to Hong Kong, where she began working at the city's Education Department, becoming the highest-ranking female staff member there. She also served on the executive board of the World Federation for Mental Health from 1956 to 1959. Cheng retired from her position in the Education Department in 1961. For her service as an education officer, she was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire that year. For a few years after her retirement from government, she served as principal of the Confucian Tai Shing School in Hong Kong's Wong Tai Sin. Then she moved to the San Diego area, near where her daughter and other relatives where living, in 1967. Cheng wrote two memoirs chronicling her experiences in British Hong Kong: "Clara Ho Tung. A Hong Kong Lady: Her Family and Her Times" (1976), about her mother, and "Intercultural Reminiscences" (1997), an autobiography. Later years In her retirement, Cheng continued her advocacy for educational opportunities, founding the Chung Hwa School, which taught Chinese culture, in San Diego in 1970. She also taught at the University of California, San Diego, in this period, as well as teaching citizenship and other classes for immigrants to the United States. She died in 2007 at age 102.

Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas John Spence Lyne, KCVO, CB, DSO (25 September 1869 – 25 December 1955) was a Royal Navy officer. Lyne was the first man in half a century to rise to the rank of captain from the lower deck, eventually achieving the rank of rear-admiral on the retired list. On 25 August 1925, Lyne was appointed a CB and was retired the same day upon reaching the retirement age. In 1931, Lyne was promoted to rear-admiral on the retired list, the first man to achieve flag rank from the lower deck in almost a century. Sir John Kingcome, promoted to flag rank in 1857, is often cited as the last such case, but there is doubt as to whether he actually belonged to the lower deck. In any case, no man from the lower deck would reach flag rank again in the Royal Navy until 1944, when Benjamin Charles Stanley Martin was promoted to rear-admiral on the active list. In 1935, he was appointed KCVO by George V.

On February 8, 2022, two African Parks patrol vehicles in Benin's W National Park were badly damaged by land mines, killing eight people. The incident, believed to have been perpetrated by Islamists, was one of the largest terrorist attacks in the country's history. Background Benin is more stable than most other countries in West Africa, and is one of the few nations to not have a major terrorism problem. However, beginning in late 2021, terrorism began to creep in from abroad, especially from the Sahel, which is to the north. In December 2021, the Porga attack occurred when gunmen (probably from Burkina Faso, which has a jihadist insurgency), raided a military outpost near the town of Porga in Atakora Department, killing two soldiers. In January 2022, a military vehicle collided with an improvised explosive device, killing two people. Massacre On February 8, 2022, a patrol vehicle in W National Park was scouting for poachers when their vehicles hit two land mines planted by the terrorists. Of the eight people killed in the explosion, five were park rangers, one a park official, another a French law enforcement officer, and the other a soldier. Ten people were injured. Aftermath French authorities agreed to launch an investigation after learning that a French citizen was among the dead. African Parks issued a statement that they were working with French and Beninese authorities in response to the massacre. Beninese troops were sent to the park to maintain order. Government authorities also held a meeting to discuss the attack. On February 10, another roadside bombing killed a civilian and a park ranger. The ranger initially survived the bombing but died after he was attacked by the perpetrators. On February 10, the French Armed Forces airstriked a base held by Jihadist rebels in Southern Burkina Faso. The official motive given was retaliation for the massacre.

She regularly contributed articles to a number of Canadian and U.S. dailies. MacDonald was also one of the leaders of women's suffrage in Canada. She died in 1922. Early life and education Jane Elizabeth Gostwycke (or, "Gostwick") Roberts was born 17 February 1864, in the "Old Rectory" at Westcock, New Brunswick. Her father was the Rev. Canon George Goodridge Roberts, Rector of Fredericton, New Brunswick, and Canon of the Cathedral there. He was a cultivated, scholarly gentleman of old English descent. Her mother was Emma Wetmore (Bliss) Roberts. Her siblings were Charles G. D. Roberts, William Carman Roberts, and Theodore Goodridge Roberts ("Thede") – a family remarkable for the variety and richness of their contribution to the literature of Canada. On winter evenings, the favourite gathering place was about the great centre table in the sitting room, where the young people read aloud for each other's amusement or edification the rhymes or stories which the day had called forth. Spirited discussions frequently arose, but the utmost good humour prevailed and final decisions on most questions were sought and accepted from the parents. The informal gathering gave a training which no school or carefully planned course of study could have achieved. In summer weather the garden was the favourite meeting place, along with their cousin, Bliss Carman. It is of this scented garden that MacDonald wrote about in her book, Dream Verses and Others. She was educated at the Collegiate School, Fredericton, and completed a partial course in English, French and German at the New Brunswick University. Career MacDonald taught for a time in the Halifax School for the Blind, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Suffering from chronic ill health, she returned home. For many years, she was a frequent contributor to magazines. Poems of hers appeared in The Century Magazine, The Independent, Outing, and other prominent magazines. "Voices", "The Spell of the Forest", "The House Among the Firs", "The Fire of the Frost", "White Magic", "The Signal Smokes", "Dreamhurst", "The Whispering Poplars", "Flood Tide", "Mountain-Ash", "March Wind", "Harvest", "Reassurance", "The Shepherd", and "A Madrigal" are some of her mentioned poems. A pleasing writer of short stories, chiefly of a romantic or idealistic nature, and an essayist of uncommon power, she perhaps did her best prose work in her book for children, Our Little Canadian Cousin, where in attractive story-form she pictures the many-sided lives of Canadian children. In collaboration with her two brothers, William and Theodore, she was the author of Northland Lyrics, 1899, where her contributions to its pages brought her great praise from verse lovers in England and in the U.S. Another poetry book of hers, Dream Verses and Others, was published in 1906. In 1896, she married her cousin, Samuel Archibald Roberts MacDonald, and they removed to British Columbia. There, MacDonald took an active part in the Equal Suffrage movement and was the first president of the Women's Suffrage Society of Nelson, British Columbia. The family moved next to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where MacDonald was engaged as a special writer on the staff of the Winnipeg Telegram. In 1915, after marital separation, she moved to Ottawa, Ontario, with her sons, Archibald G. MacDonald and Cuthbert Goodridge MacDonald (a daughter, Hilary MacDonald, survived last than a year). A prominent member of the Canadian Authors' Association, MacDonald also held office in many other associations with which she was connected. Among them were the Women's Press Club of Winnipeg, and later of Ottawa, the Ottawa Women's Citizen Association, the Women's Suffrage Association of Nelson, British Columbia, of which she was president, while residing there, and the Women's Suffrage Association at Winnipeg. She also held a life membership in the Women's Auxiliary of the Anglican Church. She was also at one time treasurer of the Women's Citizens' Association. In religion, she was Anglican. Personal life Elizabeth MacDonald died at a hospital in Ottawa, 8 November 1922, from complications following an accident when she fell in her home, breaking her hip. Like his mother, Cuthbert, went on to become a writer. Cuthbert's son, Théodore Macdonald, was a Canadian polymath, professor of mathematics and human rights defender.

Tall Bazi, is an ancient Near East archaeological site in Raqqa Governorate of Syria in the same general area as Mari and Ebla. It is located on the Euphrates river in upper Syria, about 60 kilometers south of Turkey near the abandoned town of Tall Banat. Tall Bazi has been proposed as the location of Armanum, known from texts of the Akkadian period, during the reign of Naram-Sin of Akkad. It was occupied into the Mitanni period at which time it was destroyed. In the late Roman Empire a large building was constructed at the top of the main mound. Archaeology The main mound rises 60 meters above the plain with the lower town portion being only 7 meters high. It was excavated by German archaeologists in 1993–1997, in 1999, in 2001–2005, and then in 2007–2009. At this point local conditions became too difficult to continue work. The excavations were under the auspices of the German Research Foundation and later the Institute of Near Eastern Archaeology. Due to the Tishrin Dam construction the lower town is now under water. The main mound is still above water. The adjacent third millennium BC archaeological complex at Tall Banat was also flooded. History The lower area is divided into a Western Town and Northern Town. The Western Town (1 hectare) is a single period area of the Late Bronze Age which lasted up to a century before it was violently destroyed. It contain about 100 houses with a central market area and planned 6 meter wide main roads with spurs into residential areas. Houses were built to a standard design with little variation. Destruction appears to have come quickly as most material was still in place. Each house had its own oven for baking and vats for the production of beer. No human remains were found. Due to the sketchy nature of radiocarbon dating for this period dates radiocarbon samples have reported dates ranging from 1400 BC down to 1200 BC for the destruction layer. A Mitanni period cylinder seal was found. The Northern Town was occupied beginning in the Middle Bronze Age and was destroyed at the same time as the Western Town. A geomagnetic prospection followed by excavation at four locations showed that the original portion was a grown settlement with later construction matching the planned houses of the Western Town. The main mound has been dubbed the "Citadel". It contained a large (37.6 meter long by 15.8 meter wide) temple built in the Middle Bronze Age (on top of an Early Bronze Age palace) still in use when it was destroyed at the same time as the lower town in the Late Bronze Age. In the remains of the temple were found evidence of significant production and ritual consumption of beer as well as two cuneiform tablets of the Mitanni period sealed by ruler Saushtatar and an Old Babylonian cylinder seal. When the settlement was destroyed the temple was looted and equipment smashed, then burned like the lower town. More post destruction looting then occurred. The earlier occupation of the Citadel dates back to the Late Early Dynastic period and Akkadian period. Numerous clay sling shots were found especially around a fortified wall gate. As a result of the Syrian Civil War the top of the mound was turned into a military emplacement with much of the remains, including the temple, being destroyed by bulldozer activity. Archaeological finds still being held at the site were robbed away by ISIS. See also Cities of the ancient Near East References Further reading T. L. McClellan, "Banat." In: H.

× Papilisia taiwaniana is an artificial hybrid of Papilionanthe teres and Luisia megasepala. It arose after the introduction of Papilionanthe teres to Taiwan, where it interbred with the Taiwanese endemic Luisia megasepala. It was formerly included in Papilionanthe. The occasionally branched, pendulous, terete stems are 30 to 60 cm in length and 4 to 4.5 mm wide. The terete, 14 to 21 cm long and 2 to 3.5 mm wide leaves are not strictly distichously arranged, but rather laxly alternate. Two 4–5 cm wide, yellowish flowers are produced on 2 to 3 cm long inflorescences. The labellum bears brown-red longitudinal stripes. Like its parent species, this plant grows epiphytically.

RV Moana Wave (AGOR-22), (former USNS Moana Wave (AGOR-22)), is the second ship of the oceanographic research ship built in 1973. Construction and commissioning The ship was laid down on 10 October 1972 and launched on 18 June 1973 by Halter Marine Corporation, New Orleans, Louisiana. Later acquired by the United States Navy on 6 January 1974 and later leased to the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics of the University of Hawaiʻi. In February 1974, Moana Wave replaced the aging after joining at their homeport at the Marine Expeditionary Center at Pier 18 in Honolulu Harbor. In 1977, the ship operated for six years out of Fort Lauderdale and Little Creek after reaching an agreement with Naval Electronics System Command. The agreement included the testing of Moana Wave with the newly developed Navy's Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS). Moana Wave then underwent overhaul and refit which added a 9-m section towards her amidships in 1984. Returned to Honolulu later in September of that same year. Throughout 1987 and 1988, she had nearly and 633 days at sea. The start of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) project extended the ship's time at sea with its inaugural cruise in October 1988. At 08:00 on 28 May 1999, Moana Wave departed Honolulu for her last voyage. In the early morning of 30 May, the lei-draped ship lowered her flag for the last time outside the university's Marine Center. She was later sold to Ahtna Inc. and overhauled again to be used in the underwater mapping and fiber optic cable industries. In 2011, the University of São Paulo bought the ship and renamed as N/Oc Alpha Crucis. She is named after the star, Alphacrucis in the Crux constellation. Alpha Crucis was acquired through the Multiuser Equipment Program (EMU), one of the modalities of the Research Infrastructure Support Program in the State of São Paulo, maintained by FAPESP since 1995.

Nicol Muschat (1695–1721) was a Scottish physician remembered for his murder of his teenage wife, Margaret Hall (1704-1720). Life He was born in 1695, possibly at Boghall Farmhouse on Biggar Road just south-west of Edinburgh, as he is often referred to as "Muschat of Boghall". His father died when he was young. Although raised by his mother the family appear to have been relatively wealthy. While studying medicine at Edinburgh University he resided in the top floor of the Auld Cameronian Meeting House on the east side of Blackfriars Wynd just off the Royal Mile. In 1715 he served as assistant to Dr Thomas Napier in Alloa on the opposite side of the Firth of Forth. In less than a year he returned to Edinburgh where he lodged on Anchor Close and took a job as a shop assistant nearby on the Royal Mile. In 1719 a customer called Margaret Hall caught his eye. She was the daughter of a wealthy wine merchant further up the street at Castlehill. He married her on 5 September 1719, three weeks after meeting her. They lived some weeks with her parents, then found their own lodgings on St Mary's Wynd (now called St Mary Street). Nicol had three friends in Edinburgh with whom he both confided his plans and sought their aid: James Campbell of Burnbank (the storekeeper at Edinburgh Castle); James Muschat (his cousin); and James' wife, Grizel. They made three failed attempts on her life (according to his own confession at trial). Firstly being given 20 guineas by Muschat, they attempted to murder her on Dickson's Close. Secondly, in November 1719, Campbell of Burnbank was offered the immediate repayment of Muschat's debt of 900 merks, to fabricate some crime against his wife, but this did not materialise. Thirdly his brother James and his wife were minded to poison her but although administering mercury in a glass of brandy she did not die. A scheme to drown her in a ditch at the side of Easter Road after a trip to Leith was abandoned. Grizel, frustrated by the lack of payment, due to the failed schemes, pressed the men to continue with their murder plans. Finally, on 17 October 1720, Muschat had been drinking with James until 7pm and returned to his house on St Mary's Wynd where Grizel sat with Margaret. He invented a story of wishing to walk to Duddingston and they started walking down the Canongate leaving James and Grizel in his house. Margaret started crying in St Anne's Yards just east of Holyrood, suspecting something afoot. He declared if she did not accompany him to Duddingston he would never speak to her again. They reached a point on the north edge of Holyrood Park then highly distant from any house. Here he slit her throat and left her. He returned home to confess the crime to his brother. Margaret's body was found around 10am on the following day. She was easily identified and Nicol went into hiding in Leith where he tried to gain passage obn a ship to Europe. Meanwhile, Grizel, worrying about her own potential prosecution, revealed Nicol's location to the Town Guard whilst seeking indemnity against prosecution for herself and her husband. She led the Guard to his whereabouts in Leith and Nicol was arrested. Grizel received a reward from the Town Council for this act. He confessed all, including the earlier failed plans. He was held at the Tolbooth Prison. He was hanged in the Grassmarket on 6 January 1721. James and Grizel Muschat escaped all punishment and further turned King's Evidence against James Campbell. Campbell was tried in March for "art and part" (aiding and abetting) in the crimes. He was sentenced to transportation for life to the West Indies as a slave on the plantations. Memorial Local people raised a stone cairn in 1721. The original cairn was removed in 1789 during improvements to the park, but was rebuilt in 1823 a few metres east of the original site. The 19th century cairn was around 2m in diameter and 2m tall, and appears to have remained intact until the Second World War when it was partially pulled down, thereafter lacking its original height and form. It now remains as a somewhat sprawling stack of stones, and lacks a man-made or purposeful appearance. The cairn stands opposite the East Lodge at the Meadowbank entrance into Holyrood Park. In popular culture In Sir Walter Scott's book The Heart of Midlothian, Muschat's Cairn was the rendezvous point of Butler and Jeanie Deans.

The Relief of Cetingrad () was a military conflict between the Croatian Corps of the Habsburg Monarchy Army, led by Feldzeugmeister Joseph Nikolaus Baron de Vins, and the Ottoman army, led by Dizdar-Agha Ali-Bey Beširević (under higher command of Kayserili Hacı Salih Pasha, Governor of Bosnia), dealing with possession of Cetin Castle and its surrounding area, in central Croatia (at the time occupied by the Ottoman Turks, forming the so-called Turkish Croatia). The conflict was part of a military campaign within the Austro-Turkish War (1788–1791). Habsburg forces besieged the castle from 22 June until 20 July 1790, and, after almost a month, the operation ended victoriously for the Habsburg troops. Cetingrad, an important military base in the Croatian border area that had fallen into the hands of the Ottoman conquerors in the 16th century again became part of the Kingdom of Croatia. Historical background On 1 January 1527 the Croatian Sabor gathered in Cetin Castle and elected Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor of Habsburg as the Croatian king confirming this with the Charter of Cetingrad. Soon after that the Ottomans attacked the castle and its surroundings on several occasions during the 16th century. It passed several times from one hand to another, and was demolished, burned and repaired again. It was under Turkish rule for a long time since 1584, then it was again a place of armed conflict several times, and again under Ottoman control since 1670. Some attempts to recapture it in the 18th century were unsuccessful. When the Austro-Turkish War broke out in 1788, a new opportunity arose again to try to relief the whole area of Cetingrad. Course of the military campaign in 1790 In spring of 1790, the Imperial and Royal Croatian Corps of the Habsburg Army under the command of Feldzeugmeister Joseph Nikolaus Baron de Vins, moved from Karlovac to Vojnić. In this campaign, de Vins wanted to stop the Ottoman incursions into the border area and to liberate parts of Croatia in the region of Kordun, including the Cetin Castle, as well as Furjan, Bužim, Ostrožac, Tržac and some other Croatian places, that had earlier been conquered by the Turk forces. In 1788, Major General Peharnik-Hotković succeeded with his unit in recapturing Drežnik Castle, which is situated a little further south. Now, the total strength of the Army Corps that arrived in the area was 24,380 men and 1,280 horses. In de Vins’ headquarters there were experienced officers such as lieutenant field marshal von Wallisch, major general Peharnik-Hotkovich, colonel Pejačević, lieutenant colonel Gyulay, lieutenant colonel von Liechtenstein, lieutenant colonel Jelačić Bužimski, major Vukasović and major Knežević. Some units of the Corps advanced to Bužim, Ostrožac, Prijedor and Petrovac, while the 4000-men-strong troops, led by lieutenant field marshal von Wallisch, with Colonel Pejačević and Lieutenant-Colonel Gyulay, came on 22 June 1790 near Cetingrad, where the Ottoman unit of around 1000 men was stationed, and encircled them. Siege of Cetin Castle The soldiers of the Croatian Corps immediately dug in and positioned their cannons. The next morning the cannons simultaneously opened fire on Cetin Castle. The besieged Turkish garrison responded with gunfire. In the following days the artillery fire continued and on 26 June, a large fire broke out in the castle, causing the ammunition depot to explode. After several days of heavy artillery fire, the walls of the castle were badly damaged and the corps soldiers tried to storm them to enter the castle, but without success. They also tried to dig several mines under the castle wall. The siege was largely slowed down because of the heavy rain that had fallen in early July. After the rain, the artillery attack intensified more and more and on 20 July the imperial and royal soldiers broke through an opening in the wall. They set the castle on fire, in order to destroy enemy and everything of value to the enemy. The castle was almost completely destroyed a little later. Shortly thereafter, some units of the remaining Ottoman soldiers surrendered. First lieutenant Biringer managed to capture the commander of the castle, Dizdar-Agha Ali-Bey Beširević. Although exposed to cannon fire, most of the survivors scattered and fled the battle field. Aftermath As the fire extended to the entire building structure, it took several days to extinguish it completely and partially clean up the castle. Between 25 and 28 July Habsburg soldiers succeeded in establishing the order. The captured Turkish weapons and war equipment (cannons, rifles, gunpowder, ammunition etc.) were counted, the dead were buried and prisoners were cared for. There were a total of at least 1000 dead and 144 captured Ottomans as well as around 300 men lost in the Habsburg Army. The whole operation of the Croatian Corps on the territory of Kordun, Lika, Banovina and western Turkish Croatia lasted until mid-October 1790 when the activities gradually ceased. The Habsburg forces managed to retake part of Croatian territory, including Cetingrad, Furjan, Lapac, Boričevac and Srb in the Croatian military frontier area. A truce was then soon agreed between the opposing parties, and in the following year (on 4 August) the Treaty of Sistova was signed. However, the Ottomans did not accept the loss of Cetingrad and did not give up trying to recapture it. In the next years they undertook several raids on the Cetin Castle and the surrounding area, but without success. It definitely remained in Croatian possession, unlike some other castles and settlements (Bihać, Tržac, Ostrožac, Bužim etc.), which were never returned to Croatia.
