The Sovereign 20 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by the Sovereign Design Group as an daysailer and cruiser and first built in 1982.
The Sovereign 20 is a development of the Montego 20, designed by Johannes "Jopie" Helsen.
Production
The design was built by Sovereign Yachts in the United States, between 1982 and 1997, but it is now out of production. An improved Mark II version was also produced.
Design
The Sovereign 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a plumb transom; a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin, shoal draft keel. It displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the standard shoal draft keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is .
The design has a hull speed of .
Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "we have never liked the Sovereign series of boats. We think that as new boats they were grossly overpriced (particularly near the end of their production runs); they were poor sailers relative to their comp[etitor]s; and their marketers made wild claims. Example from a brochure on the Sovereign 20 Mk II in 1997, when the company was about to close: 'The 20 Mk II is ... probably the best mini-cruiser available today.' A quick look at the specs ... shows that except for her two-foot fixed keel, which effectively ruins whatever upwind sailing performance she might otherwise have had, she is very similar in size and weight to her comp[etitor]s—all of which sail better than she does, are easier to handle at a launching ramp, and cost a lot less to buy when new. Best features: When new, the Sovereign topsides finish was usually above average in smoothness and gloss. Worst features: Her 1997 price was a whopping $24,995 FOB Port Richey, FL. A fair price for that year's market? We'd say $11,000 new, sailaway. Her Space Index is lowest in her group. And her rudder hangs below the protection of her shallow keel."

The Venner Crime is a 1933 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street. It is the sixteenth in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective. In Britain it was published by Odhams Press, the only one of his works be done so, while in the United States it was handled by his usual publisher Dodd Mead. It has been described as a sort of sequel to his previous book The Claverton Mystery. Writing in the New York Times Isaac Anderson considered "This is not one of the best of the Dr. Priestley yarns, but it is plenty good enough to pass an idle evening."
Synopsis
An elderly man named Venner is poisoned by strychnine, but the case is at first mistaken as an accidental death. At almost exactly the same time his nephew Ernest disappears.

On 12 February 2022, Mushtaq Ahmed was killed by a mob in Punjab, Pakistan, after being accused of blasphemy.
Background
Blasphemy is a very serious crime in Pakistan, for which the maximum penalty is death. Pakistan has sentenced people convicted of blasphemy to death, although it had not executed any of them. Some people who were accused of blasphemy were lynched, most recently Priyantha Kumara in Sialkot, Punjab, on 3 December 2021. International and national human rights groups say that blasphemy accusations have often been used to intimidate religious minorities.
Lynching
On the evening of 12 February 2022, in Tulamba, Mian Channu Tehsil, Khanewal District, Punjab, Pakistan, Mushtaq Ahmed was accused by the custodian of a mosque of burning a Quran inside the building. A mob of about 300 beat the 41-year-old mentally ill man to death using batons, axes and iron rods, and hanged him on a tree. The police, who were greatly outnumbered by the mob, failed in an attempt to arrest Ahmed. Three police officers were injured; the force arrested about 80 men in connection with the killing. Ahmed's funeral was held on 13 February.

The Lie family of Pasilian was an aristocratic Chinese-Indonesian family of landlords, officials and community leaders, part of the ‘Tjabang Atas’ or the Peranakan Chinese gentry of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). For over a century, from 1847 until the 1952, members of the family served as Chinese officers, producing a total of nine office-holders, including Lie Tjoe Hong, the third Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia (present-day Jakarta). The Chinese officership, consisting of the ranks of Majoor, Kapitein and Luitenant der Chinezen, was an arm of the Dutch colonial government with administrative and judicial jurisdiction over the colony's Chinese subjects.
Founding in colonial Indonesia
The family line in Indonesia goes back to two Chinese-born or Totok settlers in Batavia, capital of the Indies, the brothers Lie Tiang Ko, later Kapitein-titulair der Chinezen (1786–1855) and Lie Tioe Ko. Having gained great wealth in business in the early nineteenth century, the Lie family bought into land in the 1840s, including their principal particuliere land or private domain, Pasilian, in Banten since landownership was seen as more respectable than business.
Lie Tiang Ko was married to a locally-born Peranakan woman, Souw Sek Nio (1791–1845), who bore him five sons, Lie Pek Thay (1809–1849), Lie Pek Hauw (b. 1815), Lie Pek Hoat (d. 1876), Lie Pek Tat (1832–1915) and Lie Pek Sie (b. 1835), as well as one daughter, Lie Ho Nio. Lie also adopted his brother Lie Tioe Ko's son, Lie Pek Tjiat, bringing his total number of sons to six.
The Chinese Officership and public administration
In 1847, Lie Tiang Ko and his eldest son Lie Pek Thay were both granted the honorary titles of -titulair der Chinezen. They had no administrative responsibilities since their titles were honorary and were, probably, granted thanks to their great wealth and increasing prominence. In 1850, -titulair Lie Tiang Ko was further promoted to the rank of Kapitein-titulair der Chinezen. He died in 1855 as a pillar of the Chinese colonial establishment: Chinese officer, Landheer [landlord] and one of the wealthiest men in the colony.
In addition to his eldest son who had predeceased him, two of the Kapitein's five other sons were raised to the officership. Lie Pek Hoat became the family's first substantive officer on his appointment in 1863 as der Chinezen of Lontar Tanara, an outlying district in Banten, where the family's landholdings were concentrated; in 1866, he was promoted to the post of Kapitein der Chinezen of Serang, capital of Banten. His younger brother, Lie Pek Tat, had earlier been appointed, in 1859, to the Wees- en Boedelkamer [the Orphans and Estate Chamber] as a Boedelmeester, or a state trustee for insolvent and intestate estates, initially with the honorary title of -titulair, then from February 1, 1885, with the title of Kapitein-titulair.
In the third generation, three members of the family rose to the officership. In 1866, Lie Tjoe Hong (1846 – 1896), son of -titulair Lie Pek Thay, was appointed der Chinezen of Lontar Tanara in succession to his uncle, the recently promoted Kapitein Lie Pek Hoat of Serang. He resigned in 1868, but in 1872 was reappointed to the Chinese Lieutenancy in Batavia with a seat on the Kong Koan [the Chinese Council], the highest Chinese organ of governance in the Indies. In 1876, he was promoted to Kapitein; then on February 18, 1879, he was appointed to succeed the outgoing Majoor Tan Tjoen Tiat as the third Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia and ex officio chairman of the Kong Koan.
Lie Tjoe Tjiang (b. 1827), son of Lie Pek Tjiat, was raised to the Chinese Officership, as a -titulair, on the same year as the Majoor in 1866, then preceded the latter with his appointment in 1868 to the Kong Koan as a substantive , serving in office until 1879. Much later, between 1911 and 1913, another cousin of the third generation, Lie Tjoe Tjin (b. 1862, son of Kapitein Lie Pek Hoat of Serang) served as der Chinezen of Buitenzorg.
In the fourth generation, two members of the family were elevated to the officership. In 1885, Lie Tjian Som, son of Lie Tjoe Ie and grandson of Lie Pek Tjiat, was raised to the honorary rank of -titulair der Chinezen. In 1913, his cousin Lie Tjian Tjoen, eldest son of Majoor Lie Tjoe Hong, was raised to the substantive rank of der Chinezen. In 1915, Lie Tjian Tjoen was appointed an acting Kapitein, temporarily replacing Kapitein Tio Tek Soen prior to his definitive elevation, in 1917, to the rank of Kapitein. Kapitein Lie Tjian Tjoen was the last active Kapitein der Chinezen in Indonesia and the last chairman of the Kong Koan as a government institution, retaining both posts beyond the Indonesian Revolution (1945–1949) into the first couple of years of the independent Republic of Indonesia. He was relieved of his Chinese Captaincy with the abolition of the Chinese officership by a decree of the Governor of Jakarta in 1952.

Mount Elk Lick is a 6,517-foot-elevation (1,986 meter) mountain summit located in the Olympic Mountains, in Jefferson County of Washington state. It is situated within Olympic National Park, and is set within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness at the head of Elk Lick Creek. The nearest neighbor is Mount La Crosse, to the west, and the nearest higher neighbor is Diamond Mountain, to the north-northwest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains south into the Duckabush River, and north into the Dosewallips River. Topographic relief is significant as the south aspect rises over 4,300 feet (1,310 m) above the Duckabush valley in approximately one mile. The mountain is remote and an ascent can take four days and involves 46 miles of hiking.
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Elk Lick is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. The months June through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing or viewing the mountain.
History
The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1961 by the United States Board on Geographic Names. The mountain and the creek derive their names from mineral licks located along the Dosewallips and Duckabush rivers near here, where elk and deer drink water.
The first ascent of the peak was made in 1971 by Bartlett Burns, Hugh Favero, and Frank King.
Geology
The Olympic Mountains are composed of obducted clastic wedge material and oceanic crust, primarily Eocene sandstone, turbidite, and basaltic oceanic crust. The mountains were sculpted during the Pleistocene era by erosion and glaciers advancing and retreating multiple times.

The Floating Freedom School was an educational facility for free and enslaved African Americans on a steamboat on the Mississippi River. It was established in 1847 by the Baptist minister John Berry Meachum. After Meachum's death in 1854, the Freedom School was taken over by Reverend John R. Anderson, a former student, and closed sometime after 1860.
History
In 1847, John Berry Meachum was forced to close the school he had been operating in a St. Louis church basement. Earlier that year, the Missouri legislature had passed a law that made it illegal to provide "the instruction of negroes or mulattoes, in reading or writing". Meachum and one of his teachers were arrested by the sheriff and threatened.
To circumvent the new state law in Missouri, Reverend Meachum bought a steamboat which he anchored in the middle of the Mississippi River, thus placing it under the authority of the federal government. The new floating "Freedom School" was outfitted with desks, chairs, and a library. Students were ferried back and forth between St. Louis and the Freedom School in small skiffs. The school eventually attracted teachers from the East.
Hundreds of black children were educated at the Freedom School in the 1840s and 1850s. Those who could pay were charged one dollar a month. One of the early students was James Milton Turner, who would go on to establish 30 new schools for African Americans in Missouri after the Civil War. Another was John R. Anderson, who received much of his reading and religious training from the school. Reverend Anderson later took over management of the school after Meachum's death in 1854. School attendance dropped off just before the Civil War, with only 155 black children enrolled in 1860.

Michael Ortiz was shot in the back by police while handcuffed in Hollywood, Florida on July 3, 2021. He is now paralyzed from the waist down due to the gunshot. He also lost control of his bodily functions, suffered damage to his pancreas and has accumulated $1 million in medical bills.
Ortiz called 911 and reported himself as having a mental health crisis due to his dog being missing. According to the Hollywood police, Ortiz told the 911 dispatcher that he had “chest pains, ingestion of narcotics and, according to the Fire Rescue call log, was making delusional and suicidal statements.” After calling 911, Ortiz's family convinced him to take a shower in order to calm down. Hollywood Fire Rescue arrived at Ortiz's apartment, and stated that “he refused to answer the door so Fire Rescue requested Hollywood Police respond with lights and sirens.” According to Fire Rescue, Ortiz then came out of his apartment without any clothes on and became combative with parametics, threatening suicide. Hollywood Police arrived as the paramedics were attempting to restrain Ortiz from jumping off of the balcony.
According to the police, an officer then tasered Ortiz to subdue him, and he was handcuffed. An officer later told Ortiz's family that he was tasered twice and that he was “shot on the shoulder.” Ortiz struggled as officers attempted to escort him to the elevator. During the struggle an officer shot Ortiz in the back. Police and Fire Rescue officers then moved Ortiz to the elevator to get him medical treatment. Six Police and Fire Rescue officers were involved.
Hollywood Police later said that “an initial review suggests the officer intended to deploy his taser, but instead discharged his firearm.” The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation is ongoing and the unnamed officer was relieved of duty and given administrative duties within the department.
Ortiz was in a coma for several weeks. He described his recovery as like being reborn, with such challenges as getting out of bed and using the restroom. Ortiz's family were initially represented by Morgan and Morgan law firm, and on July 12 sent Hollywood Police a request to preserve all evidence and records. Morgan and Morgan stated that they made a public records request in writing via postal mail, but Hollywood Police claim that they have no record of receiving such a request.
On February 7, 2022, Ortiz and his family held a press conference with their new attorney, civil rights lawyer Ben Crump. Crump announced a public record's lawsuit against Hollywood Police, specifically in regards to security camera footage from the apartment complex that would have documented the entire incident. Crump stated that “you must release the video that shows us why your police officer shot a man — that was stark naked, handcuffed — in the back and paralyzed him.”

Mamadou Sinsy Coulibaly, nicknamed ‘’’Coulou’’’, is a Malian business leader. He has been the president of the National Council of Employers of Mali (CNPM) from 2015-2019 and, following a two year legal dispute, from December 2021 claimed control of the organization.
Early life
Born in 1956 in Dakar then part of French West Africa, he attended school in Mopti, and Bamako Mali, and then the University of Jussieu, Paris, the Le Mans School of Automotive Commerce, before receiving an engineering degree in the Soviet Union.
Business career
He began his business career forming a private security company in Paris in 1974, then moving to the United States, founding an African funeral services company, expanding to Montreal. Returning to Bamako in the 1980s, he built up a series of businesses in the used vehicle trade, and expanded into video equipment sales, from there into one of the first private media businesses in Mali.
As owner of the Kledu Group, he has diversified into many industries, beginning with media, his Radio Kledu, founded in 1992. Le Monde has called him “one of the richest and most influential men in Mali.”
Universally known by his nickname “Coulou” he has since the 1990s diversified into digital printing, media, tourism, insurance, agribusiness, catering, and shipping. The Kledu group employed over 1,800 people in 2017, and 2,000 in 2019 spanning fifty companies in Mali, the largest of which is Malivision, which had in 2017 an annual turnover of €25 million.
Other prominent firms in the group include Radio Kledu, Kledu Events, Kledu Farms, K2FM radio, the free monthly Le Dourouni newspaper, ImprimColor printing, Tam courrier shipping, Kledu press, SPI office automation, and Tam Voyages travel. “Kledu” is named for both his mother and his daughter.
Advocacy and activism
Coulibaly has been an outspoken advocate against government corruption in Mali.
Coulibaly was chosen by Malian business leaders to become the president of the National Council of Employers of Mali (CNPM) in October 2015, Mali's largest and most influential business advocacy group.
Following a public defamation case brought against for accusations of corruption against government officials, Coulibaly was removed as the head of the CNPM but was re-instated following a successful court battle in late 2021. He had, in March 2019, named the President of the Malian Supreme Court "the most corrupt and dangerous official in the country.” Barred from leadership by a rival faction of the CNPM, Amadou Diadié Sankaré was elected president of the organization on 26 September 2020. Lawsuits eventually ended in a Malian Supreme Court ruling that annulled Diadié's election and that Coulibaly's organizing committee was the legitimate leadership of the CNPM further legal battles left the organization's assets and elections in limbo, while Coulibaly claimed leadership.
Coulibaly has also been outspoken on Franco-Malian business relations, counting many French business leaders among his friends, and on the post-2012 security crisis in Mali.

Overview
The piece is written in three cycles, each containing the "Incantation" theme, a "percussion concerto", and the "Dance" theme. The third cycle has these three sections played simultaneously rather than in succession. During the "percussion concerto" section, each percussion instrument introduces the rhythmic motifs that appear during the "Dance" section. This acts as a bridge between the "Incantation" and "Dance" sections.

Pseudinae is a subfamily of neotropical frogs in the family Hylidae. They are distributed all throughout the tropical and subtropical parts of South America east of the Andes, including Trinidad, all the way down to Uruguay and adjacent parts of Argentina.
They are notable because despite being tree frogs, they have convergently evolved with true frogs and have lost most of their tree dwelling traits, becoming semi-aquatic or aquatic. Their name references this similarilty, with Pseudinae coming from the Greek ψεῦδος (pseudos) which means "false" or "pretending".
In the wild they are preyed on by a variety of animals, including aquatic insects, spiders, and birds such as the buff-necked ibis and large-billed tern.
Genera
There are three genera and thirteen species within Pseudinae:
These frogs have a chromosome component of 2n = 24, the exceptions being Scarthyla goinorum with 2n = 22 and Pseudis cardosoi with 2n = 28.
Morphology and evolution
Pseudine frogs are unique for Hylid frogs because of how different they are in their morphology. While Hylids are generally adapted to living in trees, Pseudine frogs have adapted to aquatic lifestyles and such have lost much of their tree climbing abilities. This is evident in how the intercalary elements, which are the spaces in between a frog's digits, have become ossified in order to strengthen them and help them swim in the water more efficiently. Normally in tree frogs, these intercalary elements remain unossified in order to allow their hands and feet to be flexible. They also have a unique ligament cap that connects their knee to their pelvis that has not yet been seen in any other type of frog.
The sister taxon of Pseudinae is Dendropsophinae, splitting apart from them during early Oligocene 25.8–38.7 Mya. This family remained tree frogs and diversified greatly, while Pseudine frogs transitioned to aquatic ecosystems. Scarthyla is the oldest and most Hylid-like of the Pseudines, originating in the central Amazon basin and being restricted to the Guiana region in modern times. Lysapsus and Pseudis diverged during the early Miocene 18.4–24.6 Mya and have since spread down to the Chaco region that is drier and less suited for most tree frogs.

Şehzade Mehmed Şerafeddin (; 17 June 1904 – 1966) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Şehzade Selim Süleyman and the grandson of Sultan Abdulmejid I.
Early life
Şehzade Mehmed Şerafeddin was born on 17 June 1904 in the Feriye Palace. His father was Şehzade Selim Süleyman, son of Sultan Abdulmejid I and Serfiraz Hanım and his mother was Ayşe Tarzıter Hanım, an Abkhazia lady from the Barğan-Ipa family. He had one sister, Naciye Sultan, seven years elder than him.
Education and career
Şerafeddin began his education in the Ihlamur Pavilion. His brother-in-law, Enver Pasha decided that the young princes should receive a military education, and for this purpose he had allocated the Ihlamur Pavilion as the Princes' School. It became compulsory for all princes below the age of fitteen to attend this school. Here besides their military training they were taught literature, history, religion, mathematics, and geometry.
Şerafeddin then attended the school created by the Empress Maria Theresa in Vienna in 1751, known as the Theresian Military Academy along with Şehzade Ömer Faruk, son of Abdulmejid II. Enver Pasha thought they should not be trained in the land of the waltz as "ballroom officers," but instead should proceed to Potsdam, where they would receive a Prussian education and become strong, reliable officers. So they were transferred from Vienna to Potsdam Military Academy in Prussia.
By 1918, he was serving in the Ottoman army as second lieutenant in the infantry.
Personal life
Şerafeddin had married two times and had one daughter. His first wife was Şükriye Sultan. She was the daughter of the crown prince Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin and Leman Hanım. She was born on 24 February 1906 in her father's villa in Çamlıca. They married on 14 November 1923 in the Nişantaşı Villa. They divorced in 1927. She then married twice, and died on 1 April 1972.
His second wife was Semahet Hanım. She was born on 8 October 1911 in Beirut, Lebanon. They married in 1928. She gave birth to the couple's only daughter Bezmiâlem Mübeccel Sultan on 24 May 1929. They divorced in 1956. She died in 1973.
Exile and death
At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Şerafeddin and his family settled firstly in Paris, France until December 1924. They then went to Cairo, Egypt and finally settled in Beirut, Lebanon, where he died in 1966. He was buried in Sultan Selim Mosque, Damascus, Syria.

Electronic instruments, like the theremin (1920), Moog synthesizer (1964), MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) (1981), or 2000s computer technology, found their way to and were used in popular music. Early electronic instruments (like synthesizers) were large, difficult to operate, and monophonic (only able to play one note at a time), but polyphonic versions, like the Prophet-5 (1978) or the portable and practical Mini-moog (1970), had a greater impact on popular music, spawning numerous pop and rock genres.
The use of electronic instruments in pop music include the following instances:
1970s
New wave – electronic pop sub-genre
Synth-pop – electronic pop sub-genre developed in the UK
Techno pop – electronic pop sub-genre developed in Germany and Japan

Line Goes Up – The Problem With NFTs is a 2022 documentary film written and directed by Canadian YouTuber and video essayist Dan Olson on NFTs, cryptocurrencies, the metaverse, and Web3. The video was published to his YouTube channel Folding Ideas on January 21, 2022.
Contents
In the video Olson traces the early history web 3 through Great Recession, the creation and early history of Bitcoin and Ethereum before going over the concepts, technologies. and economics of the space. Olsen then goes over the history and technologies behind NFTs while arguing that they mainly exist to get more people into the cryptocurrency space. Olsen then spends the next segment of the video criticizing the current general lack of quality in NFT art and NFT art collections. In the later half of the video Olsen goes over the Crypto and NFT community while also going over and criticizing blockchain games, the play to earn gaming business model, and decentralized autonomous organizations, before concluding the video arguing that the core of the upcoming web3 movement is a "turf war" between the " top 5% and 1%." And the market is based on the pitch of "buy-in now and you can be the next high tech boot." and called it similar to pitches from Multi-level marketing companies
Production
In an Interview with Vice Olsen stated has followed the rise of bitcoin hearing claims that it would reach mass adoption, though after using it, Olson believed that cryptocurrency was so far from being actually functional and that the only reason to engage with it was its price which kept on increasing over time. Olsen later came to believe that the history of cryptocurrency was a story about the evolution of fraud. Olsen later became skeptical of new developments in crypto technology viewing them as overpromising and this drove feelings of frustration and anger which lead to him making the video. Olsen stated he started writing the video in April 2021 though his slow writing process lead to the video being delayed to release in the fall of 2021 before it finally released in January 2022.
Reception
Viewer response
As of February 2022 the video currently sits at 6 million views with 306 thousand likes. Following the videos release it trended on Twitter.
Critical reception
In a article for the Verge Casey Newton stated that "few of Olson’s criticisms are entirely new, though the collective force of Olson’s arguments is substantial." Though also stated that as a standalone explanation for crypto they stated that they found Olsen take on the subject incomplete as he leaves out a lot of additional information including information about in the cryptocurrency space improved their financial situation substantially through crypto investing.
Criticism
In an article for Time's newsletter Into the Metaverse Tascha Che a macro-economist and Web 3 investor in response to the video's claims argued they didn't see crypto space as a whole to be such a system that benefits early adopters at the expense of newcomers due to the amount of innovation in the field. Che also argued that blockchain technology is not very robust and that there are currently many inefficiencies and shortcomings. and also stated that frauds and scams in the space were inventible since it is anew system of distributing value, and that "when there’s money, there are always frauds and scams around." Che also agreed with Olsen's point that the end goal of cryptocurrency investors is the financialization of everything stating "the blockchain is allowing everybody to create assets of value. This is seriously groundbreaking." Che also argued that Olsen's claim that the crypto market is centralizing like web2 is false as there are decentralized alternatives in the Web3 space, and also stated that they believed this to be a phase of Web3 history and that be new experiments and explorations on it in the future. Che also stated that she believed she viewed current governance experiments in DAOs as "research and development costs of a new field, not the end-all-be-all of how Web 3 organizations are going to be structured. " Che and Olsen later debated each other for the article where Olson argued that there are central concerns about Web 3's basic purposes, while Che focused on how crypto levels the playing field for investors.

The Beverly rooming house fire took place at the Elliott Chambers, a low-rent rooming house in Beverly, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1984. The fire was set by a man whose ex-girlfriend was going out with someone who was staying in the building. It was the deadliest arson fire in Massachusetts, the deadliest fire in the state since the Cocoanut Grove fire in 1942, and the deadliest fire in Beverly's history.
Background
The fire occurred in the Elliott Chambers, an 80-year old, three-story wooden frame building that had 34 rooms on the top two floors and housed businesses on the first. The rooming house was located on the corner of Rantoul and Elliott Streets in downtown Beverly and catered to deinstitutionalized mental patients, intellectually disabled people, substance abusers, elderly, transients, and other low-income individuals, many of whom had been placed there by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health or another human services agency. The small rooms cost $150 to $175 per month and contained a bed, sink, refrigerator, and bureau. Residents shared common bathrooms.
It was owned by David and Pauline Faxler and managed by 73-year old Hattie Whary and valued between $100,000 and $150,000. It had working smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and emergency lights, and a fire escape, but did not contain firewalls, fire stops, or sprinklers. According to the city's mayor, building inspector, and fire chief it met the minimum standards for safety.
Fire
The fire broke out around 4 am on July 4, 1984. According to a report by the National Fire Protection Association, the fire started in an alcove, moved across flammable wooden paneling above the alcove, and spread throughout the building via an unenclosed stairway. The fire moved so quickly that it had already reached the top floor by the time the fire alarm had sounded. By the time most residents were awakened, passage to the fire escape was already blocked. The Beverly Fire Department responded within two minutes of receiving the alarm. The second and third floors were gutted while the first floor was relatively intact.
At the time of the fire there were 33 residents and three guests in the building. Thirteen people died in the fire. The second floor victims burned to death while those on the third floor died from smoke inhalation. Five were found near a locked fire escape door and six were still in bed. A fourteenth victim died after jumping from a third story window. 12 survivors were taken to area hospitals. One firefighter and one police officer were also hospitalized. Some of the bodies were so badly burned they were difficult to identify. The final victims were not identified until July 8 when doctors were able to identify them using dental and x-ray records. On August 5, the fire's fifteenth victim died at Brigham and Women's Hospital from burn injuries.
Investigation
On July 5, 1984, state Public Safety Secretary Charles V. Barry announced that a preliminary investigation indicated the cause of the fire to be arson. According to investigators, the fire was caused by gasoline-soaked newspapers that had been lit in an alcove adjacent to the front entrance to the rooming house.
The prime suspect in the arson was James Carver, a 20-year old part-time pizza cook and taxi driver whose ex-girlfriend was dating someone who was staying in the building. Carver was committed to a mental hospital within a week of the fire and attempted suicide shortly thereafter. The investigation stalled until late 1987, when the Essex County district attorney's office received information that Carver had confessed to a female friend. On April 21, 1988, a witness identified Carver in a police lineup as the man he saw near the Elliott Chambers shortly before the fire.
Trials
On May 4, 1988, nearly four years after the fire, Carver was arrested. He pleaded not guilty to 15 counts of second-degree murder, 15 counts of assault and battery with intent to murder, and one count of arson.
Carver's trial began on March 7, 1989. On March 24, Judge Peter F. Brady declared a mistrial based on a motion from Carver's attorney, Dennis F. Jackson, who contended that the prosecution had violated discovery procedures by not providing him with an incriminating statement a witness had given to police until the trial was already underway. District Attorney Kevin M. Burke called Brady's decision "inappropriate" and "unjust" and declared that his office would "vigorously reprosecute" the case.
Carver's second trial was held in November 1989. The prosecution alleged that in October 1984, Carver had told a friend that he had set the fire and told her how he had set it, and in November 1986 had told a co-worker that he had lit the fire but that he was going to get away with it. The prosecution also presented a witness who testified that a day before the fire Carver had threatened Rick Nickerson, the Elliott Chambers resident who had gone out with Carver's ex-girlfriend. Carver's parents contended that he was home in bed when the fire occurred. On November 22, 1989, Carver was found guilty of murder and arson. He was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences to be served as the maximum-security Massachusetts Correctional Institution – Cedar Junction with eligibility for parole after 30 years.
In 2020, Carver, who has a history of cardiovascular disease, skin cancer, and depression, uses a wheelchair due to dizziness, vertigo, tremors and seizures he has suffered from since brain surgery, and has been diagnosed with, but is refusing treatment for, prostate cancer, sought a medical parole on the grounds that he was "highly likely" to become incapacitated if he contracted COVID-19. His petition was denied by the state commissioner of corrections and the decision was upheld by a Superior Court judge.
Effect on building codes
In the wake of the fire, Mayor F. John Monahan called on the state legislature to strengthen the state's fire code. Legislators and local officials called for a law to require sprinklers and other fire safety systems in rooming houses. Governor Michael Dukakis stated that he opposed such a law, as it would drive up the cost of housing. A proposed law requiring sprinklers in stairways of residential buildings died in the legislature due to opposition from building owners. However, in 1986 the legislature did pass a bill that gave local governments the option to require automatic sprinklers in buildings occupied by six or more unrelated people. During the early 1980s, the state saw an average of between seven and nine fire deaths per year in rooming houses. After the law was passed, this number decreased quickly, with zero deaths occurring in 1992. As of 2014, 134 of the state's 351 municipalities have adopted the measure.
Memorial
The Elliott Chambers building was rebuilt into a two-story professional office building. In 2009 it was demolished and replaced by a CVS Pharmacy. A plaque listing the names of the fire's victims was placed on the corner of Elliott and Rantoul Streets.

Suurpelto (Swedish: Storåker) is an area under construction in Espoo, Finland, between the districts of Henttaa, Mankkaa and Olari.
The original plan for the completion of Suurpelto was from 2010 to 2015. There are a total of seven zoning areas, of which some have a confirmed zoning plan. The construction plan includes an overall total of about a million square metres of apartment space. Residential buildings include apartment buildings and one-family houses, the majority being apartment buildings hosting owner-occupied and rented apartments as well as housing cooperatives. The total planned number of residents is between 10 and 15 thousand.
Suurpelto has the second-highest proportion of immigrants in Espoo after Suvela. In 2020 36.4 percent of the inhabitants in Suurpelto spoke a foreign language.
Location
In the south, Suurpelto stretches from Olari to the Finnish national road 1 and its eastern part is located east of Ring II, in Mankkaa. In the west it is bordered by the 880-hectare forested Espoo Central Park. The total area of Suurpelto is about 325 hectares, of which 89 hectares are designated for parks.
There is a specific connection from Ring II to Suurpelto.
Construction
Construction of the area started on 18 January 2007 in a unique Espoo way with a seven-shafted shovel. The shovel was originally wielded by chairman of the board Eero Akaan-Penttilä, chairman of the city council Jukka Mäkelä, city director Marketta Kokkonen, technical director Olavi Louko, Asuntosäätiö director Anja Mäkeläinen, Kojamo director Olli Salakka and city engineer Martti Tieaho, later by new chairman of the board Markku Sistonen, deputy chairman of the city council Pekka Vaara, landowner representative Bengt Sohlberg, KPMG representative Lasse Lagus, Fennica representative Pekka Raatikainen and project engineer Satu Lehtonen.
After construction of apartments had started Suurpelto's foundation stone was laid on 20 August 2009 at Klariksentie. A time capsule was made recording a list of people taking part in the foundation laying, issues of the newspapers Helsingin Sanomat, Hufvudstadsbladet and Länsiväylä on the day of the foundation laying, a picture of Suurpelto before construction, a bead necklace made from Suurpelto clay by the children at the Olari kindergarten and a set of coins in use in Finland in 2009. The foundation stone was laid at the end of Klariksentie, on the street where construction of apartments started.
The ground at the area is ancient seabed, which sinks easily. Because of this reason, for example the foundation of Ring II was made by sinking thin piledriver pipes filled with concrete into the ground.
Greenspaces and parks
The largest park in the area is the Espoo Central Park, still in its natural state, located west of Suurpelto.
In June 2017 Finland's first love garden was opened in northern Suurpelto. The garden allows local residents to plant their own fruit trees as symbols of their love. The garden is located at Hentebynkatu 4. The idea of a love garden came in autumn 2016 when 26 members of the Espoo city council made a proposition for founding an ecological love forest.
Services
The Opinmäki campus was inaugurated on 12 August 2015. The school centre hosts premises for an international school, a Finnish-speaking elementary school, early childhood education, a sports hall and space for the Suurpelto library, a workers' institution and youth activity.
The centre of Suurpelto is the Suuris shopping centre along Ring II, including a total planned amount of 16 thousand square metres of business space and 300 parking places.

The Federation of Industry (, FI) is a trade union representing workers in primary and manufacturing industries in Spain.
The union was founded in 2014, when the former Federation of Industry merged with the Federation of Textile, Leather, Chemical and Allied Industries. Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the Workers' Commissions (CCOO). In 2016, it absorbed the Federation of Agrifood. After the merger, it had 231,000 members, making it the largest affiliate of CCOO.

Grahovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Грахово) is a field and historical region in western Montenegro. The region comprises 219 km2, west of Nikšić, in the centre between Petrovići and Čevo, from the top of Orjen mountain to the west of the Ostrog Monastery.
Etymology
The etymology of the name is derived from Serbian literal wording, (Grah) which means peas, then with a slavic suffix (ovo). Ultimately the name would logically of been Grah--->ovo=Grahovo which means land with peas.
Geography
Grahovo is located centrally to the area between Nikšić and Trebinje, from the top of Njegoš mountain, where the ancestors of the Petrović-Njegoš lived in the Muževice village (and who, as a merchant family, came from Zenica in Bosnia), to the Trebišnjica and Bileća Lake area. The surface area of the Grahovo territory is about 219 square kilometers, contiguous with Golija to the north, Trepačke Rudine to the east, and west to the state border of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Oputne Rudine region).
In the past, the borders to the south and east were different. The region was inhabited by the Riđani a tribe-clan that had assimilated or migrated by the end of the 17th century. Mountain ranges, Mt. Njegoš and Mt. Somina form a natural border to the north. Brekovac, Bratogošti, and Tisovac extend down to Trebišnjica and Bilećko Lake from the northwest to the southwest border. The southern and eastern boundaries of Banjani travel over hilly terrain, with no major natural barriers.
History
The first written mention of Grahovo was in 1687. The field of Grahovo was mentioned by a Vojvoda named Ilija Balotić, which according to him, He and his fellow Vojvoda's from neighboring tribes would relieve the town and provide it with 400 People, of which 200 were able to fight in war. Another one of his writings conclude that he is from the Drobnjak tribe, and that he would bring an additional 500 souls solely from them. The Banjani tribe were located throughout the villages of Grahovo, and Grahovac. The settlement of Grahovo seems to have been under Venitian Control as to which was the state of Venitian Albania, As what was said in Ilija Balotic's writings to the village of Grahovo, he had said that they would take over from Venitian control and would have 100 Men at any time available against the Turks incase of incursions on the village. Another source as to what the background was of the inhabitands of Grahovo, stated that most of the fraternities are from Kuče. The rest of the population immigrated from Herzegovina, Drobnjak, Boka, Cuca, Bratonozici, Krivosija, Banjan, Bjelica, Cevo, Raska region and Piva. Since 1858, Grahovo has been a part of Montenegro.

The Battle of Kingston (November 24, 1863) saw Major General Joseph Wheeler with two divisions of Confederate cavalry attempt to overcome the Union garrison of Kingston, Tennessee, led by Colonel Robert K. Byrd. The Confederates mistakenly believed that the Kingston garrison was weak, but in fact, it comprised a brigade of infantry and a regiment of mounted infantry. When Wheeler's cavalrymen began probing the Union position, they discovered that its defenders were too numerous, and the position was too strong. The Confederate cavalry withdrew to rejoin Lieutenant General James Longstreet's forces near Knoxville, but Wheeler himself returned to the Army of Tennessee near Chattanooga.

Ahalya Sthan (also called Ahilya Sthan or Ahilya Asthan) is a Hindu temple located at Ahiyari South in the city of Darbhanga, State of Bihar, India.
Legend
According to Ramayana, Rama and Lakshmana went to forest with Brahmarshi Vishvamitra to protect his yagna. On their way, they came across a deserted place. When Rama inquired about the place, Visvamitra related the story of Sati Ahalya, wife of Gautama Maharishi.
The Maharishi used to do penance by staying here with his wife. One day when Gautama Rishi had gone out of the ashram, in his absence, Indra came in disguised as Gautama Rishi. Ahalya, without knowing the real identity of the person, succumbed to Indra's desire. Gautam Maharishi came to know this and cursed his wife to lie as a stone in this place. When she pleaded, the maharishi said, when Rama visits this place, you will return to your normal self.
Visvamitra told Rama to go into the ashram. As soon as Rama's radiance brightened the place, Ahalya stood up with her own body and prayed to Rama. Ahalya being the wife of Maharishi, Rama and Lakshmana paid their obeisance to her.
The temple
Ahalya Sthan is the place where once the ashram of Maharishi Gautama stood. The temple, in its present structural form was built between 1662 and 1682 during the rule of Maharaja Chhatra Singh and Maharaja Rudra Singh. This is also the first Ram Janaki temple in India.
The temple is beautifully made with fine patterns and designs of art and ancient Indian architecture. Inside the shrine, there is a flat stone said to contain the foot prints of Sita, wife of Ram, as the main object of worship.
Festivals
The temple is open from 5 a.m. till 10 p.m. daily. Ramanavami is celebrated, in the Hindu month of Chaitra (March end - April beginning) and Vivah Panchami in Agrahayana.

HM Sagittae is an intensively-studied D-type symbiotic nova in the northern constellation of Sagitta. It was discovered by O. D. Dokuchaeva and colleagues in 1975 when it increased in brightness by six magnitudes. The object displays an emission line spectrum similar to a planetary nebula and by 1977 is detected in the radio band. Unlike a classical nova, the optical brightness of this system did not rapidly decrease with time, although it showed some variation. It displays activity in every band of the electromagnetic spectrum from X-ray to radio.
Observations in the infrared during 1978 showed this to be a very strong source with a spectrum that is consistent with a binary symbiotic system similar to V1016 Cyg. The cooler component is emitting material that is then ionized by a hot component, with the emission spectrum coming from heated dust generated by the cooler star. By 1983, the infrared emission of the system was shown to vary by 1.5 magnitudes in the K-band with a time scale of ~500 days. High resolution spectral examination of the system in 1984 showed a bipolar outflow of matter with a velocity of . A series of knots extend outward on both sides of the central star to an angular distance of . The nebula surrounding the system shows a bi-polar, S-shaped morphology, similar to R Aqr.
The features of the system are consistent with a central red giant star being orbited by a compact object that is accreting matter from the giant. The pair have an angular separation of , with the axis aligned along a position angle of . Their physical separation is estimated at . The giant component is most likely a Mira variable and measurements up to 1989 found a period of 527 days. The compact object is a hot white dwarf with 70% of the mass of the Sun. Winds from both stars are colliding to produce a shock region that is a source of ultraviolet emission. By 1985, a fading of the brightness and an increase in redness were observed, caused by dust obscuration. The hot component may be inhibiting dust formation around the giant except in the shadow region behind the star. This could explain observed individual dust obscuration events.

Terra Sancta College of Jerusalem serves as the cultural centre of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land and as a succursal institution (dependency) of Saint Saviour's Latin parish. It was initially created in the 1920s as a school for the children of Jerusalem, regardless of their religious affiliation. It stands at the soutwestern extremity of the Talbiyeh neighbourhood of West Jerusalem, on the corner of Paris Square.
History
Interwar boys' school
The building was erected in 1926 to house a boys' school named in Italian "Opera Cardinal Ferrari" in honour of a recently deceased Archbishop of Milan who had shown much engagement for social justice. The project was run by a charitable Catholic lay institution initiated by Cardinal Ferrari, the Congregation of Saint Paul of Milan (established in 1920 as the , since 1924 a Congregation dependent directly on the Holy See, also known in English as the Society of St. Paul (CSP); not the Società San Paolo of Alba, as sometimes written). The school was designed by the Franciscan architect Antonio Barluzzi, who crowned the building with a replica of the statue of the Virgin Mary which stands on top of the Milan Cathedral, the Madonnina. It was inaugurated in 1927.
The school operated for two years: in 1928-29 it had 270 enrolled pupils, only one hundred of which were Catholic; and 1929–30, with just 130 pupils. The children were taught in eight separate classes, covering primary school and high school. Its activity ended due to lack of funds, and the property was then entrusted to the safe hands of the Custody of the Holy Land.
Under the Franciscans the Terra Santa College flourished, with a constantly growing number of pupils throughout the 1930s. It remained open to children of all religions, registering 360 pupils in 1936–37, of which 85 were Latin Christians, 171 Greek Orthodox Christians, Armenians, Syriacs, Copts and Protestants, 53 Muslims and 31 Jews. The total number of pupils rose until the closure of the school in 1947, numbering 475 in 1940–41.
1947-1949 war
In 1947, the British authorities declared the area around the school a security zone, access was forbidden, and the school was forced to close. As a result of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Jerusalem became divided and the Arab pupils living in the eastern part of the city were cut off from their school, which is located in west Jerusalem. The Franciscans, under whom the Terra Sancta College had arguably become the most prestigious school in the Middle East, didn't allow their centre of education to shut down for long, opening a new school in Amman already in 1948 and, in 1949, another Terra Sancta College in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Hebrew University (1949-1990s)
In 1949 the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI), whose previous campus on Mount Scopus, now in East Jerusalem, also had to be abandoned, took over part of the premises. Some of the scenes in the novel "A Tale of Love and Darkness" by the Israeli writer Amos Oz play in those years inside the building. Several departments of the university moved in, and by the late 1980s several of them were still housed there, including the university publishing house, Magnes Press, the offices of the Friends of the Hebrew University, the Research and Development Authority, and the headquarter of the World Union of Jewish Students, sharing the building with the British Council Library and the Dante Alighieri Society for Italian Culture.
Franciscan cultural and communications centre
The Custody of the Holy Land pursued the return of the building, and by the end of the 1990s they received it back as their property, which it remains to this day.
Current use
Several cultural departments of the Custody are working now from the College premises: the communications department in charge of the official media in the Holy Land, which includes a multimedia centre broadcasting news programmes in different languages, and the editorial office of the Christian Media Center and of the French-language Terre Sainte Magazine.
The house is run by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate, of whom some are living there. The premises are also used as living quarters by Franciscan friars, such as the director of the Custody's school of music, who is also in charge of relations with the Jewish world, as well as some religious and students of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum academic society, along with volunteers who work with the Custody performing pastoral, cultural and social activities. It comprises a ground floor and three upper storeys.
Description
Antonio Barluzzi's design combines elements of Italian Renaissance with oriental ones. From the central courtyard one can reach the wing containing the chapel. The replica of the Madonnina decorates the roof.

The Elizabeth, Isaac & Jacob Cohen House is a home in Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is located at 212 West Jones Street and was constructed in 1852.
Part of the Savannah Historic District, the home was built for three members of the Cohen family. All minors at the time of the building's construction, it was likely a trust investment. By 1861 the property was owned by William Brantley, city alderman from 1860 to 1861. Charles W. Brunner later owned the property. Its roof was raised in 1872, making a fourth storey.
In a survey for the Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.

The Otago pack saddle, later known as the British universal pack saddle, is a rideable pack saddle devised by Harvey Spiller in Otago, New Zealand, in 1863, to prevent ruinous injuries to horses carrying heavy loads. It was improved and adopted for military use by the Commissariat Transport Corps during the New Zealand wars of 1863–1867 and the Abyssinian expedition of 1867–1868, to become a preferred military general use type also favoured by expeditioners. Apart from horses, it worked well on mules and bullocks when adapted to them.
Description
To spread the load weight on the animal's back and sides, the pack saddle is made up of two large cushioning pads, each fixed to a side bar bridged from one to the other, over the animal, by metal arches located at the pommel and cantle of the seat. The saddle is held in place on the animal by breastplate, breeching and two girths. For ease of loading and unloading, large metal hooks on the arches secure the ropes or straps holding the load. Being rideable to a certain extent, stirrups can be attached. The saddle weighed 25–27 lb (11.34–12.25 kg) stripped, and often as much as 43 lb (19.5 kg).
By 1870, a variation, the Royal Carriage Department pattern, had been devised for hospital and ambulance purposes in carrying field panniers, letters and cacolets, composed of breeching, breast collar, crupper with strap, two web girths, a pair of saddle panels, four breeching or breast straps, two crupper straps and a wantie, and weighed 63 lbs (28.6 kg)
Origin and development
Otago gold rush
Harvey Spiller of Kensington had served as a 2nd lieutenant of the newly formed Northumberland Artillery from June 1859. Following the death of his father, Lieutenant Colonel George Spiller, RA, in 1861, he and his brother had shipped out from Plymouth, Devon, for New Zealand, arriving at Port Chalmers on the Black Swan amid the Otago gold rush in June 1862. Spiller recalled in 1869:
I happened during the year 1863 to be living many miles from up the country in Otago, and was called on to do a large amount of packing. The saddles which I used for the purpose were the common Cape pattern, precisely similar to those supplied from the stores department to the imperial troops. The want of ventilation and the constant friction with the closing of the pads from the weight of the load upon the horses' withers and the ridge of the back speedily rendered every animal I had useless. I tried the riding saddle, making additions to it and alterations as I found necessary from time to time to effect the object I had in view. The idea upon which I worked was suggested to me by the principle adopted in the knapsack invented by my late father, Colonel Spiller, of the Royal Artillery, in 1861. I worked at it for a considerable time, and incurred no small expense, until I realised my conception of what a pack saddle ought to be, and which I found, I am glad to say, work perfectly in every particular, whether horses or bullocks were employed.
New Zealand campaigns
During the Waikato campaign, Spiller took a commission as a lieutenant of the 3rd Waikato Regiment, Colonial Militia, from 19 October 1863 and was later attached to the Commissariat Transport Corps under Assistant Commissary General James Bailey.
Bailey had arrived in New Zealand in 1861, following the outbreak of the Taranaki war in 1860. He had joined the Imperial Service in 1848, served the Board of Works in Ireland to 1851, Commissariat at the Cape of Good Hope to 1854, as Deputy Assistant Commissary General in Turkey and Crimea in 1854–1856, present at the battle of Alma and siege of Sebastopol, in Bermuda for three years and northern China for over a year. By July 1861 he'd had put together the Commissariat Transport Corps (CTC), at Penrose Camp on the Great South Road, Auckland. CTC men were drawn from British troops and the colonial militia. One hundred packhorses were ordered from Sydney, 85 pack and ambulance horses were purchased in Auckland along with 30 double-draught animals and 450 pack saddles. Bullocks were purchased in Taranaki and Auckland.
When Spiller joined the CTC in 1863–64, the Waikato campaign had been underway since July 1863. The CTC had been repairing existing bullock, horse and artillery pattern pack saddles, and followed on with a call for the supply of new government issue Cape pack saddles—100 in August and 150 in November. Though mule sized, the Cape pack saddles were used on the horses with the effect of galling their backs and crippling CTC efficacy. Spiller, employed in the field in the Waikato and at Tauranga, noted:
The destruction of the pack animals from the use of the Government pack saddle was a constant theme of animadversion. I spoke of my invention to the Director of Transport, Commissary-General Baily, and he requested me to get a saddle made after my plan, which I did at my own expense, and which upon trial was entirely approved of, and obtained the favourable notice of General Sir D. Cameron, K.C.B.; General Sir T. Chute, K.C.B.; Colonel O'Brian, Commanding Military Train; Colonel Gamble, Quartermaster-General; Colonel Moule, Royal Engineers; Commissary-General Jones, Commissary-General Baily, Major Baker, Assistant Adjutant-General; Captain H. Hill, aide-de-camp; Major the Hon. F. Le P. Trench, 40th Regiment; Captain Tigh, who commanded my own division of Transport—all or any of whom could corroborate the truth of my statement and substantiate the justice of my claim.
Trials of Spiller's pack saddle proved it to be a vast improvement on existing patterns and, accordingly, Lieutenant General Duncan Cameron accepted it for use in the campaign. Manufactured in quantity by J & A Wiseman, saddle, collar and harness manufacturers of Queen Street, Auckland, branded "CTC" and settled into service on the transport network, they played their part well throughout the campaign. Deputy Commissary General Edward Strickland, stationed at Taranaki, commented to Commissary General Humphrey Stanley Jones in 1865:
I believe the pack-saddle now in use with this army merits notice. I know of nothing so good as it. It is the pack-saddle used by the Otago diggers. The framework of the saddle is raised high above the horse's withers, whilst the sides of it sit firmly on the horse. It forms a good riding saddle. The load can be easily balanced and steadied upon it, or placed upon it or taken down from it of a dark night. When making a night march I have loaded seventy-nine horses in twenty minutes, without noise of confusion. As yet, not a horse has been hurt by it.
During the war, the CTC had grown to 41 officers, 125 non-commissioned officers, 1341 men, with 1616 horses and 728 bullocks. As the war itself wound down through 1865–66, and in consequence of ongoing attacks, the CTC was disbanded. By mid-February 1866 it had sold most of its horses, drays and horse and bullock gear by public auction. The men returned to their Waikato regiments and farms or moved to headquarters at Tauranga, leaving Penrose Camp desolate. Public sales of Commissariat Transport Corps and Military Train animals and gear carried on at Te Awamutu, Ngaruawahia, Papakura and New Plymouth in April–May, releasing more pack saddles into public use.
With regiments returning home from New Zealand from that year on, Bailey and his family left Auckland for London on 10 January 1867. He had supplied a sample Otago pack saddle or two with an accompanying report to the War Office in England in March 1866, where it had undergone trials at Aldershot and Woolwich with the result of the Ordnance Select Committee sealing the Otago pattern for general commissariat purposes on 9 July. It was then put into storage.
Abyssinian Expedition, 1867–68
In consequence of frustrated appeals to Emperor Tewodros II of Abyssinia to the free missionary and British government representatives held by him, the British Expedition to Abyssinia to rescue them was announced on 21 August 1867. In review of the vast amount of equipage required to cross Abyssinia's mountainous terrain, concerns over the suitability of pack saddles broke at the War Office in September 1867. Ordnance Select Committee member Colonel Edward Wray, RA, ACG James Bailey, returned from New Zealand, Joseph Aspinall and Captain Gordon met at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, on 10 September to inspect and report on the general service pack saddle, of which 5,000 were being prepared for shipment, and a copy of the Otago pack saddle Bailey had sent from New Zealand.
In their reports to Sir John Pakington, Secretary of State for War, and Sir Edward Lugard, Permanent Under-Secretary of State for War: Bailey concluded "that the Otago saddle is really a serviceable and useful article of equipment, and, from my personal experience in New Zealand, I know can be carried by pack animals with very little injury to their backs." In his view, the general service pack saddle, would render many animals unserviceable or useless after a few days of work. He imagined that a few thousand of these easy made Otago saddles could be manufactured in England at short notice; Aspinall considered the general service pack saddle adjusted for mules to be "totally unfit for Commissariat purposes", "practically useless except for the carrying of sick and wounded soldiers". It was cumbersome, unnecessarily heavy at 51 lbs (23.13 kg), and almost certain to produce sore backs and sides. He preferred the saddles similar to those used in Spain and Mexico, which enabled animals to carry 30 or 40% more weight and were superior in every way to any others; and Wray endorsed Bailey's opinion to immediately prepare as many Otago saddles as may be necessary for the expedition. Accordingly, the Otago pack saddle was adopted for the expedition.
The Military Store had advised that, if quickly acted upon, a large proportion of 5000 saddles could be supplied in a month, with the whole completed in six weeks from date of order. They recommended the saddles be made by trade saddlers in three sizes according to supplied patterns, with no more that 500 saddles per contractor. The general service pack saddle was condemned, the order for their manufacture cancelled and supplied saddles recalled.
Henry Morton Stanley's expedition, 1871
Henry Morton Stanley had been a special correspondent of the New York Herald embedded in the Abyssinian Expedition, along with a sizable contingent of journalists, several European observers, translators, artists and photographers. Summoned to Paris in October 1869, James Gordon Bennett Jr. of the New York Herald sent him to find the missing missionary Dr David Livingstone. Stanley recalled of his preparations in Zanzibar:
After collecting the donkeys, I discovered there were no pack-saddles to be obtained in Zanzibar. Donkeys without pack-saddles were of no use whatsoever. I invented a saddle to be manufactured by myself and my white man Farquhar, wholly from canvas, rope, and cotton.
Three or four frasilahs of cotton, and ten bolts of canvas were required for the saddles. A specimen saddle was made by myself in order to test its efficacy. A donkey was taken and saddled, and a load of 140lbs. was fastened to it, and though the animal—a wild creature of Unyamwezi—struggled and reared frantically, not a particle gave way. After this experiment, Farquhar was set to work to manufacture twenty-one more after the same pattern. Woollen pads were also purchased to protect the animals from being galled. It ought to be mentioned here, perhaps, that the idea of such a saddle as I manufactured, was first derived from the Otago saddle, in use among the transport-trains of the English army in Abyssinia.
Recognition
As the Commissariat Transport Corps disbanded in 1866, Lieutenant Harvey Spiller was appointed to rank of Captain in the Auckland Militia on 7 May, and then to Sub-Inspector in the Armed Constabulary in October 1868, to command Wairoa District, Hawke's Bay. In 1869, a friend drew his attention to a letter published in the Army and Navy Gazette of 25 July 1868 giving, in its "large admixture of truth", praise to the Director of Transport in relation to his invention. Spiller sought to put the truth of the origin of the saddle on record in a letter to the Army and Navy Gazette of 19 June 1869, and there he seems to have left the matter.

Admiral James Clement Ley, CB, CVO (25 July 1869 – 15 July 1946) was a Royal Navy officer, who was known for his work on naval strategy and tactics.
Ley entered HMS Britannia as a cadet in 1883, was confirmed as sub-lieutenant in 1889, and promoted to lieutenant in 1890. After training as a gunnery specialist and serving as executive officer of HMS Ocean, in 1905 he was selected to join the staff of the newly established "War Course for Captains and Commanders", which later became the Royal Naval War College. In 1906, he was promoted to captain and was reappointed to the course, and in 1909 he was given command of HMS Cornwall, then serving as a training ship for cadets.
In 1912, Ley took command of HMS Collingwood, to which Prince Albert (later George VI) was appointed as a midshipman in 1913. In 1916, Ley and Collingwood took part in the Battle of Jutland as part of the 1st Battle Squadron. Ley was appointed a CVO in September of the same year, when Prince Albert left Collingwood on completing three years' service on the ship. In December 1916 Ley was given command of the battleship HMS Canada. In 1917, he was promoted to rear-admiral and appointed as the first Director of the Training Division of the Admiralty Naval Staff. Appointed a CB in 1918, he served as naval attaché to Tokyo for a time, before being promoted to vice-admiral and placed on the retired list in 1923. He was promoted to admiral on the retired list in 1927.

Daniel Sickels's leg was amputated after a wound suffered at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, and is displayed at the National Museum of Health and Medicine. Daniel E. Sickles was a former New York politician who entered the Union Army after the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. After originally commanding the Excelsior Brigade, Sickles was promoted to major general in 1862 and later commanded the III Corps at the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. At Gettysburg, Sickles moved the III Corps forward from his assigned position, and it was shattered by a Confederate attack. During the fighting, he was struck in the leg by a solid shot; the wound later required amputation above the knee. After the amputation, the limb was donated to the Army Medical Museum (now the National Museum of Health and Medicine), where it was used as a teaching example of battlefield trauma. Sickles sometimes visited the limb afterwards, and it remains a popular attraction at the museum.
Background
Daniel E. Sickles was born on October 20, 1819, in New York City. He entered politics and served in the United States Congress from 1857 to 1861. In 1859, he gained notoriety for shooting Philip Barton Key II over an affair Key had with Sickles's wife. Sickles successfully pleaded temporary insanity for the first time in United States history. After the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, he joined the Union Army and was commissioned a brigadier general. Originally commanding the Excelsior Brigade, he was promoted to major general in November 1862, and commanded a division at the Battle of Fredericksburg and the III Corps at the Battle of Chancellorsville; he would also lead the III Corps at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Leg wound and later display
Early on July 2, 1863, with the Battle of Gettysburg ongoing, Sickles became concerned about the suitability of the position the III Corps was assigned to defend. He later decided to abandon the position he had been assigned and moved his troops forward to another line along the Emmitsburg Road. While this new position had some positive features, it was also exposed and the prior position had been adequate. Confederate troops commanded by James Longstreet attacked Sickles's new position, and the III Corps was overrun. With his line crumbling, Sickles rode up to the portion of III Corps at the Peach Orchard, which was falling apart. After watching the retreat of the 141st Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, he headed towards the Trostle Farm.
After riding onto a knoll for a better view of the fighting, Sickles was hit in the right leg by a solid shot. The shot did not startle Sickles's horse, and he dismounted and a tourniquet was applied to the wound. After transferring command of the III Corps to David B. Birney, Sickles was taken off the field on a stretcher while puffing on a cigar. The injury had broken both of the bones of his lower right leg. The medical director of the III Corps, Thomas Sim, performed an amputation of Sickles's leg. It was initially thought that the cut could be made below the knee, but upon further inspection it was determined that the damage was more severe than first thought, and an amputation above the knee was required. The general had been anesthetized with chloroform before the amputation. After the limb was cut off, it was kept, possibly by Sim.
Aware that the Army Medical Museum (since renamed the National Museum of Health and Medicine) had been recently founded, Sickles had the leg forwarded to the museum in a coffin-shaped box, as it had begun accumulating "specimens of morbid anatomy". The damaged tibia and fibula were stabilized with wire and used as a museum specimen. The bones were used as a teaching example of battlefield trauma. Sickles recovered quickly from the wound, but never held a field command again. He sometimes visited the limb on the anniversary of its loss, and sometimes brought visitors with him, including, on one occasion, Mark Twain who stated that he believed the general valued the lost leg more than his still-extant one. Upon his first visit to the limb, Sickles allegedly berated the museum for not preserving his foot as well. He retired from the army in 1869, was a diplomat to Spain, served another term in Congress, and died in 1914.
The leg bones have since been enclosed in a glass case and have been reported as of 2014 to be one of the museum's most requested exhibits. For a time in 2011, the bones were displayed at Fort Detrick, but as of 2021 are again displayed at the National Museum of Health and Medicine. The bones are attached to a wooden stand by metal prongs and are displayed next to a cannonball of the type that caused the wound.

Nebojša Berić (; born 19 April 1972) is a politician in Serbia. He served in the National Assembly of Serbia from 2012 to 2016, initially as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (Srpska napredna stranka, SNS) and later as an independent.
Early life and career
Berić was born in Sombor, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He holds a degree in electrical engineering.
Politician
Berić entered political life as a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS). He appeared in the seventeenth position on that party's electoral list for the Sombor city assembly in the 2008 Serbian local elections and was given a mandate when the party won twenty-three seats. He was the SRS's nominee for municipal assembly president after the election and was defeated by Nemanja Delić of the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS).
The Radical party experienced a serious split later in the year, with several members joining the more moderate Progressive Party under the leadership of Tomislav Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić. Berić sided with the Progressives. He received the second position on the Progressive list in the 2012 local elections and was re-elected when the list won eleven mandates.
Parliamentarian
Berić was given the eighty-sixth position on the SNS's list for the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election, which was held concurrently with the local elections. The list won seventy-three seats, and he was not initially elected. The SNS formed a coalition government with the Socialist Party of Serbia (Socijalistička partija Srbije, SPS), and several of its members subsequently resigned from the assembly to take government positions. Berić received a seat on 18 September 2012 as the replacement for another party member. He was a deputy member of the committee for the diaspora and Serbs in the region and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Austria, Croatia, Egypt, and Slovenia.
He received the 112th position on the SNS list in the 2014 parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won a landslide victory with 158 out of 250 mandates. In his second term, he was a full member of the diaspora committee; a deputy member of the defense and internal affairs committee; a deputy member of the committee on the economy, regional development, trade, tourism, and energy; a member of Serbia's delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union; and a member of the friendship groups with Austria, Belarus, Canada, Croatia, and Germany. In 2015, he was part of the Serbian government's delegation to commemorate the twenty-year anniversary of the deaths of elderly Serb civilians in Varivode and Gošić during the Croatian army's Operation Storm.
Berić left the SNS in early 2016 and formed a new political group in Sombor called Our Villages, Our City with other former Progressives. He led the group's list for the 2016 local elections in Sombor; the list did not cross the electoral threshold to win representation in the assembly.

The fashion of actress Audrey Hepburn, both on and off-screen, has impacted trends and pop culture, and she is considered a style icon.
Fashion and style
Hepburn's style, subject to prominence after her rise to fame in the 1950s, was associated with timelessnes and tailoring. Hepburn had a confident sense in her own manner of dressing, and sought simple, refined pieces to emphasize her silhouette and profile. She believed that women should find their own complimentary "look", rather than rely on trends, and accessorize it seasonally. Hepburn invested in quality pieces, and put intentional thought into her ensembles by occasion.' She admired simple lines and elegant looks, designed to compliment her, rather than stand out. Hepburn veered toward underdressing, rather than overdressing, saying that "it is better to be the only one in a blazer at a black-tie event then be the only one in black tie at a blazer event".
Pieces associated with her brand of fashion included cigarette pants, black polo necks, trench coats, marinières, and head scarves. She also frequently wore sheath dresses, bateau necklines, cropped pants, emphasized waistlines, and button-downs. She occasionally wore suits and trousers, but often accentuated the look with accessories to preserve a feminine touch. Her fashion has been referred to as sophisticated, minimalist, elegant, polished, and mod. Hepburn typically chose a muted palette of black, white, beige, and pink, which emphasized the darker undertones of her eyes and hair. She "compensated" for her height by wearing ballet slippers and flat shoes. Hepburn typically chose a muted palette of black, white, beige, and pink, which emphasized the darker undertones of her eyes and hair. She frequently wore patterns of stripes and gingham. Her "daily uniform" consisted of slack trousers or skirts paired with a blouse. Academic Rachel Moseley describes the combination of "slim black trousers, flat ballet-style pumps and a fine black jersey" as one of her signature looks alongside little black dresses, noting that this style was new at the time when women still wore skirts and high heels more often than trousers and flat shoe.
Hepburn stated that fashion "came into her life" upon her first meeting with Hubert de Givenchy, whom she regarded as a "creator of [her] personality". She became his muse, and the two became so closely associated with each other that academic Jayne Sheridan has stated, "we might ask 'Did Audrey Hepburn create Givenchy or was it the other way around?'" The pair conceptualized Hepburn's "signature" ensemble - a bateau neckline dress with a fitted bodice and full skirting. The ensemble, dubbed "The Hepburn Look", popularized Givenchy's minimalist tailoring and boosted sales. Givenchy created the evening gown she wore to the 1954 Academy Awards, a white lace ensemble with an ivory full skirt that Hepburn referred to as her "lucky dress". Givenchy also designed her second wedding gown, a light-pink polo neck mini dress, worn in a ceremony to Andrea Dotti. Rather than borrow clothes, she owned her wardrobe and paid full price for Givenchy's creations. From 1956, Hepburn's contract stipulated that she would be dressed by Givenchy in all contemporary-set films. Hepburn herself stated that Givenchy "gave me a look, a kind, a silhouette. He has always been the best, and he stayed the best. Because he kept the spare style that I love. What is more beautiful than a simple sheath made an extraordinary way in a special fabric, and just two earrings?"
She developed an association with Valentino upon her move to Rome, where she was often photographed by paparazzi. Hepburn was close to shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo, and opined that quality shoes could be worn in tandem with simple clothing. She also wore Ralph Lauren for much of her off-duty looks later in life.
In film
Hepburn's debut, Roman Holiday, where she played a mid-century, run-away princess, featured a minimalist wardrobe, with her gamine looks considered watershed for the time. Her character appeared in corseted taffeta gowns before transitioning into belted midi skirts, lace-up sandals, feminine cotton blouses, ballet flats, and printed silk scarves.
Her collaboration with Givenchy in the film Sabrina (1954), where she was cast as the titular chauffeur's daughter, determined classic elements central to her wardrobe that "defined her image" for the duration of her career. Through originally to be designed by Edith Head, director Billy Wilder sent Hepburn to Paris to peruse authentic Parsian designs, which led her to meet Givenchy. The numbers chosen personally by Hepburn included: a gray, Oxford-wool, double-breasted skirt suit with a scoop neck, cinched waist, and vented skirting, and a strapless white ball gown with floral organdy embroidering and a cascading train of black ruffles, as well as a black cocktail dress with a button, down, deep-v back, and flared, ballerina-length. The final dress featured a bateau neckline that became popularly known as the décolleté Sabrina, or Sabrina neckline, which Hepburn became fond of as it emphasized her shape rather than her thinness.
One of her most-worn ensembles premiered in Funny Face (1957), where her character, a studious Beatnik librarian, comes out of her shell. Hepburn wore a black polo neck, a taupe trench coat, black trousers, and black penny loafers for scenes in France. She also wears a vermillion satin gown alongside white opera gloves. Hepburn plays a demure conservatory student in Love in the Afternoon (1957), which features outfits with "preppy feminine charm", such as bold knit cardigans, striped trousers, a-line cotton sundresses, and hair ribbons.
The 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's, where Hepburn portrays high-class café society girl Holly Golightly, has been reported to exemplify the cinematography and fashion of the decade. In the opening scene, filmed on Fifth Avenue, Hepburn wore a little black dress, regarded as one of the most iconic in cinema, inspiring several imitations. It is a sheath, satin full-length gown with minimalist cutouts, paired with sunglasses, kitten heels, a multi-layered pearl necklace and a hair broach. Other outfits worn in the film include an oversized white men’s shirt, paired with a turquoise sleep mask, a silk cocktail, scoop-neck, feathered hem minidress, a pair of straight-leg jeans worn with a simple sweatshirt, a bedsheet fashioned to be worn as a party dress, a knee-length hot pink sleeveless frock, embroidered with a sweeping bow and small rhinestone fans, Breakfast At Tiffany's is considered to be Hepburn's most defining film, and cemented her status as a style icon.
My Fair Lady (1964), featuring Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, tracks her character's transformation through fashion, and includes the emblematic ensemble of a white lace gown with lavish ribbon trimming, paired with a complimentary umbrella of tulle and wide-brim black-and-white hat. She portrays the daughter of an art forger in the 1966 film How to Steal a Million, incorporating an aristocratic slant to sixties mod-trends, such as sculptural tailoring, brightly coloured overcoats, costume jewellery, and white sunglasses. Hepburn was cast as a screenwriter's assistant in Paris When It Sizzles (1967), donning bolder hues, including an orange drape-back shirtdress, pistachio skirt suit, and a cotton-candy shift dress.
Legacy
Hepburn was added to the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame List in 1961. Shortly after her rise to prominence, department store Barneys New York released a clothing line inspired by her on and off-duty wardrobe. After Hepburn's death in 1993, much of her gowns were distributed by Givenchy to museums around the world. Upon Givenchy's retirement in 1995, Vanity Fair wrote that "Audrey Revivalism" gained popularity, a term referring to renewed public interest and fashion trends in line with Hepburn's life and fashion, with "legions of fans" seeking to imitate her looks. Her personal collection, including much of her clothing, was exhibited at Christie's London in 2017.
Her dressing has inspired celebrities Beyoncé, Natalie Portman, Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, Kiernan Shipka, Sandra Bullock, Zooey Deschanel, Lily Allen, Meghan Markle, and Rachel Bilson. Her on-screen fashion has influenced costuming in film and television, including Big Little Lies (2017-2019), Emily in Paris (2020-present), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). " Scores of designers" have been reported to release designs inspired by Hepburn, including Zara and Michael Kors, Hepburn has been included in various "best-dressed" lists, including 100 Fashion Icons for TIME, Women Who Changed Fashion for Harper's Bazaar, Style Icons for Forbes, and Most Influential Fashion Icons Of All Time for StyleCaster.
Hepburn's posthumous status as an icon has contributed to the ongoing relevancy of her style. Her style and appearance has been idolized by young women during and after her lifetime, with her most famous ensembles being recognizable to the public. Hepburn has been referred to as one of the most elegant women in history. Edith Head stated that Hepburn understood fashion better than any actress, with the exception of Marlene Dietrich. Isaac Mizrahi cited her with bringing minimalism into trend, while Christian Lacroix stated that Hepburn symbolized the style of her generation. Vogue France writes that Hepburn's style "embedded in our understanding of fashion history" and representative of twentieth century fashion. In 2015, her granddaughter, Emma Ferrer, posed in a photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar paying tribute to Hepburn's most memorable ensembles.

College career
Lewis redshirted his freshman year at Stanford. He began his redshirt freshman season as the backup to starter Randy Fasani. Lewis saw his first significant playing action against fifth-ranked Texas after Fasani suffered an injury and completed 12 of 33 pass attempts for 214 yards and three touchdowns, including a touchdown pass with less than two minutes left put the Cardinal ahead in a 27-24 upset victory. He started the next three games while Fasani recovered from his injury. Lewis finished the season with 1,179 passing yards on 92-for-204 passing with eight touchdown passes and five interceptions.
Lewis began his redshirt sophomore season as the second string quarterback again, but ultimately started four games and passed for 1,277 yards with 12 touchdown passes and eight interceptions.

Lewis passed for 250 yards and three touchdowns as Stanford won 38-28 over fourth-ranked UCLA. Lewis was named Stanford's starting quarterback going into his redshirt junior year. He missed the season opener after being suspended for a minor NCAA infraction. Lewis started the next five games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
Lewis ultimately lost his starting job during the offseason to Trent Edwards. He returned to the starting lineup after Edwards suffered a shoulder injury and started seven games during his redshirt senior season. Lewis finished his collegiate career with 19 starts and 30 total games played, completing 350 of 713 pass attempts for 4,346 yards with 33 touchdown passes and 31 interceptions.
