Esprit Pézenas (28 November 1692 – 4 February 1776) was a French Jesuit astronomer, hydrographer, and mathematician who worked at the observatory in Marseilles. Through his writings and teaching he spread ideas on astronomy, mathematics and navigation including advances in other European countries.
Pézenas was born in Avignon where his father worked at the court. He studied at the Jesuit college and taught physics, logic, and metaphysics for a while in Lyons and then at Aix. In 1728 he becme a professor of hydrography at Marseilles where he taught navy officers navigation and other aspects. He wrote on hydrography, the measurement of tonnage, differential calculus. In 1749 he became director of the Observatoire St-Croix in Marseilles. Tomás Cerdá worked at the Marseilles observatory under Padre Pézenas and studied mathematical techniques. Pézenas translated the work of the English chronographer John Harrison in 1767 for use in the accurate determination of longitudes and was involved in the computation of the longitude of Marseilles. Pézenas claimed the role of Pierre Vernier in the invention of the Vernier scale, claiming that it was undue to give credit to Pedro Nunes or Petrus Nonius for what has been called the nonius. Pézenas is credited with the discovery of the phenomenon of Gegenschein, a faint glow in the nightsky at the point opposite to the sun in 1731 but some have suggested that it was first observed in 1854 by Theodor Johann Christian Ambders Brorsen while others have claimed that it was already known in the 6th century BC. Based on observations on sunspots, he computed the solar rotation period as 26 days and 9 hours. He retired in 1763 to Avignon where he died.

"" (English: "Unity"), is a song by Oceania, a musical act formed by New Zealand vocalist Hinewehi Mohi and English producer Jaz Coleman. A house remix of the song by Beatmasters was released as a single in New Zealand and Europe.
Background
Mohi debuted as a solo musician in the early 1990s. She met English producer Jaz Coleman of the band Killing Joke after he moved to New Zealand to become the composer-in-residence for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Mohi, who was working as a television producer, sung at a tapu lifting ceremony for a recording studio, during which she impressed Coleman by her vocal ability. Mohi wrote the song together with Coleman. Mohi developed the chorus melody ("whaka awe, awe awe") first before developing the song in the studio with producers. She was inspired to create a song which would inspire the spirit.
The song has two versions featured on the group's debut album Oceania: one acoustic and one dance remix. The house remix of the song, produced by Beatmasters, was added to the record at the insistence of Mohi's record label in the United Kingdom, in order for the album to have a youth appeal. The remix was released as the leading single from the album in New Zealand and Europe. Mohi promoted the single in the United Kingdom in 1999, during which she shot a music video for the song in Epping Forest near London, redressed to look like New Zealand bush.
Mohi re-recorded the song in collaboration with the Auckland Chamber Orchestra in 2013, as a part of her album Raukatauri – Te Puhi o Te Tangi.
Composition
"Kotahitanga" is a song that blends Māori language lyrics, traditional melodies and taonga pūoro (traditional instruments) with modern house musical progression and structures. The lyrics discuss solidarity and freedom for the Māori people. The chorus lyrics are based around the repeating phrase "whaka awe, awe awe" ("be inspired"), and the bridge features a haka called "I Runga".
Reception and impact
While Mohi was in the United Kingdom, she was asked to perform the New Zealand National Anthem at the opening game of the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Mohi decided to sing the anthem in Māori instead of English, which received wide backlash in the New Zealand press at the time. During the World Cup, "Kotahitanga" was used as a song to promote and cheer on the All Blacks, and a special remix created for the event was featured on Land of My Fathers (1999), a promotional album of songs associated with the 1999 Rugby World Cup.
In a 2002 ranking by Mana magazine, "Kotahitanga" was the fifth most popular waiata chosen among Māori celebrities. The song was prominently used by the Jump Jam aerobics programme in New Zealand primary schools in the early 2000s.

Gameplay
Beatle Quest is a text adventure video game.
Development
Beatle Quest was developed and published by Number 9 Software. Garry Marsh wrote the game using The Quill programme and was given permission from ATV Music to use the lyrics from Beatles songs. A fan of The Beatles, Marsh drew inspiration from the bands lyrics to develop the games story and design. The cover art to the game was illustrated by Alan Aldridge. The game was released for Commodore 64 in 1985 and was sold through mail order.
Reception
Beatle Quest received mixed reception from video game critics. Crash praised the game for being well crafted and atmospheric for its subject matter. Your Sinclair, while positive about the games graphics felt that the game would be difficult to get into if you're not fan of The Beatle. A reviewer for Home Computing Weekly called the game good but nothing special. Simon Marsh for Computer and Video Games gave the game a scathing review. While not being a fan of The Beatles, he criticized the game for its depiction of drug use as a form of humor and overall gave it a rating of zero.
Beatle Quest was commercially successful, debuting at number five on Commodore Users sales charts. Marsh had made and sold 500 copies of the game. The success prompted Garry Marsh to negotiate development of the next two games in the trilogy, provisionally titled A Day in the Life and Across the Universe. While Marsh had started on the second game, the planned trilogy was abandoned.

Malcolm Ian Howie (1900-1936) was a self-taught commercial and botanical watercolour artist and Methodist local preacher.
Life
From the age of 16, Howie was unable to walk due to Spinal muscular atrophy. He was often accompanied on his preaching engagements by the botanist James Hamlyn Willis, who had married Malcolm's sister, Mavis Eileen Howie. An accomplished debater, he wrote "verse and short plays," and entered the Royal South Street Society literary competition in 1933, winning second place.
By 1926 Howie was employed as a commercial painter, supplying artwork featuring birds and wildflowers, for calendars and suedework. By 1931, James Hamlyn Willis and Ethel McLennan had encouraged Howie to expand his repertoire to include fungi, and his paintings increasingly appeared in scientific publications. Approximately 200 watercolours of fungi, produced between 1931 and 1935, have survived. Paintings by Howie are held in the State Botanical Collection of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. A further 84 paintings are held by the University of Melbourne Herbarium.
Publications
Howie's watercolour illustrations of fungi and ferns were published in the following works:
James H. Willis. 1934. The Agaricaceae or ‘gilled fungi’. Some species common in Victoria. Victorian Naturalist 50: 264–298.
Richard W. Bond and Charles Barrett. 1934. Victorian ferns: descriptions of all the species occurring in the State (Melbourne: Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria).
James H. Willis. 1941. Victorian fungi: a key and descriptive notes to 120 difference toadstools (family Agaricaceae) with remarks on several other families of the higher fungi. (Melbourne: Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria).
A series of paintings were published in The Weekly Times Wild Nature Notes column.
Exhibitions
His work has been posthumously exhibited, particularly in Melbourne. Exhibitions include:
Hidden in Plain View: The Forgotten Flora Australian touring exhibition curated by Teresa Lebel, Josephine Milne, and Karen Beckmann, from 2007 to 2009.
Artists’ depictions of Natural History: Fungi, Ferns and their Allies at the Domain House and Gallery in October 2013.
From botanical illustrations to research: Watercolours from the University of Melbourne Herbarium at the University of Melbourne in 2015.
Influence
Howie has also been cited as an inspiration for The Red Room Company poet Bonny Cassidy.

Shimon Moyal (1866–1915) was a Zionist activist and physician. He worked for several newspapers and started a short-lived newspaper with his wife, Esther Moyal. He was the translator of the Talmud into Arabic language.
Early life and education
Moyal was born in Jaffa in 1866. His father was Yousef Moyal whose family were wealthy Jewishs from Morocco who settled in Palestine. Shimon's brother, David Moyal (1880–1953), was a lawyer and activist. Shimon attended Jewish religious schools in Palestine. Then he went to Beirut where he studied Arabic and French languages. Next he studied medicine in Cairo.
Activities and career
During his studies in Cairo and later Moyal worked for different publications. One of them was Al Muqattam, a Cairo-based newspaper. He and his wife, Esther Moyal, returned to Palestine in late 1908.
In 1909 Moyal published an Arabic translation of Talmud entitled At-Talmud: Asluhu wa-tasalsuluhu wa-adabuhu (The Talmud: Its Origin, Transmission, and Ethics) to make Judaism much more known by both Muslims and Christians who could read the Arabic texts. In 1913 he and his friend Nissim Malul launched a Jewish newspaper, Sawt Al Uthmaniyah (the Voice of Ottoman), which was published in Arabic. The paper was edited by Moyal and his wife. Moyals and Malul also founded an association, Ha-Magen (The Shield), which aimed to answer to any hostile article against Zionism published in the Arabic publications. Another goal of the association was to encourage greater understanding between Jews and Arabs in Palestine and to support the peaceful relations with Arabs living in the region. Moyal was also very active in the Jaffa freemasonry society and participated in the activities of the Decentralization Party in Egypt (Al-Lamarkaziyah).
Personal life and death
Moyal married a Beirut-born Jewish journalist Esther Al Azhari in 1894. They had a son, Abdullah Ovadia Nadim. He died in Jaffa in 1915 at the age of 49.

This comedy group consists of two graduates of the eleventh class of a comedy school known as Yoshimoto New Star Creation (NSC).
Their name is sometimes abbreviated as .
In Japanese they are classified as an owarai kombi, which is essentially a comic pair.
Members
Shohei Osada (松尾駿), who was born January 28, 1980, in Kyoto, is in charge of creating much of this duo's comic material.
He graduated Saga Art Junior College, which is now known as Kyoto Saga University of Arts.
His hobbies include snowboarding, pottery, motocross, and jogging.
In addition to being a good singer, he is a skillful dancer.
Before becoming a comedian, he taught a pottery class in Kyoto.

he advanced to the semi-finals and in 2018 he made it to the finals.
He became a close friend of some members of the comic trio Panther Mukai at this time.
Although he was married on February 14, 2016, he kept that marriage secret at first upon his manager's advice.
On February 14, 2017, he announced his marriage publicly and his son was born.
In 2000-2021 he also served as an occasional voice actor in NHK's educational "Eigo de Asobo with Orton" TV Series.
Shun Matsuo (長田庄平), who was born August 18, 1982, takes on the traditional comic roles of a straight man as well as a comic foil.
He was born in the town of Hakone in Kanagawa prefecture, about one hundred kilometers southwest of Tokyo.
His father is a cousin of Masayuki Tanaka, who used to be a noted Japanese rock vocalist.
In 2001, he entered the Chiyoda College of Technology and Art.
While there he worked part-time at a restaurant in Odawara-Kamomiya.

the Yoshimoto New Star Creation school for entertainers. They survived for 10 weeks on January 16, 2007, in a survival show organized on
Yoshimoto Fandango TV.
From April 28, 2009, to May 2, they performed a play named Moukifuboku [盲亀浮木, Unusual Things] at the Yoshimoto Kogyo Theater in Osaka.
This was their first big joint performance and for a while they appeared regularly at that theater.
They worked for a unit known as "Tokyo Wonder Swan" that consisted of young entertainers run by the same entertainment conglomerate.
Chocolate Planet won the F-1 Grand Prix entertainment contest on November 23, 2010, and also
received a "Red Carpet Award" for a Japanese comedy program called "Bakushou Red Carpet" that was broadcast on July 28, 2012.

In recent years Chocolate Planet has utilized SNS extensively.
In addition to active YouTube pages, they also have attracted many followers on Instagram and TikTok.
Performance Style
Most of the performances by Chocolate Planet consist of humorous narratives known as konto.
Osada generally takes the role of tsukkomi (straight man), providing a chance for Matsuo to crack jokes, make blunders, or act stupidly. Sometimes they reverse roles, and occasionally they perform gags in which the roles become blurred.
This pair is also noted for their manzai performances, impersonations, and rhythmic material. Both Osada and Matsuo enjoy imitating other Japanese celebrities. For example, in 2017 Matsuo imitated the Japanese transgender talent Ikko, while pretending to be a beautician.
Moreover, Osada has imitated the noted Kyōgen performer Izumi Motoya, attracting widespread applause.

The National Council of Employers of Mali (French, Conseil national du patronat du Mali, CNPM) is the national representative body of businesses and employers in the Republic of Mali. It was founded in 1980 as a government initiative to create a single representative body of private sector employers, answerable to the Minister of Labor and the Public Service.
Its original name, the "Fédération Nationale des Employeurs de Mali (FNEM)" was changed in 2003.
The organization is made up of over forty professional organizations and employers councils in each Region of Mali, which are represented at the national level. The membership is made up of business owners and leaders, not businesses.
Leadership controversies
From 2019 to 2022, the presidency of the CNPM was contested in a series of high-profile legal battles, between its 2015 president, Mamadou Sinsy Coulibaly and Diadié Sankaré, chosen by a rival leadership body in September 2020. Legal battles 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 suits left the organization's assets, including its offices in and elections in limbo, while Coulibaly claimed leadership. The involvement of Coulibaly in activism against corruption was claimed by CNPM Vice-president Boubacar Diallo to be the cause of the split in the organization.

Service95 is a weekly lifestyle newsletter founded in 2021 by English singer Dua Lipa. Announced in November 2021, the newsletter's first issue was released on 3 February 2022. Described as a "global style, culture, and society concierge service created to help the reader make sense of the world", each newsletter features a personal letter from Lipa alongside several articles from guest contributors. It features topics including recommendations, travel advice and politics and ranges from lighthearted stories to hard-hitting reporting. The goal of the newsletter is to broaden the types of journalism one might read as, according to the founder, it features pieces one can't find anywhere else.
Lipa was inspired to create the newsletter from lists of recommendations she had created for her friends, that she had been making since she was a child. The newsletter is based out of London and is published by Studio 2054 Productions. It is delivered weekly to subscribers via email and is available in 12 languages. An accompanying podcast hosted by Lipa entitled Dua Lipa: At Your Service was launched on 11 February 2022. The podcasts features in depth conversations Lipa has with several high-profile guests. The goal of the podcast is to help listeners learn more about themselves through the stories her guests tell. The podcast is available in four languages and is distributed by iHeartRadio.
History
On 23 November 2021, English singer Dua Lipa announced that she would launch a free weekly newsletter entitled Service95 in January 2022. It was described as a "global style, culture, and society concierge service created to help the reader make sense of the world" and "a way to find order in the chaos"; Lipa herself described it as "a general store with all the content you've always wanted to read". Lipa was inspired to create the newsletter by her longtime hobby of sharing personally-curated lists with her closest friends that mentioned lesser-known "people, pieces of pop culture, travel destinations, hidden gems and global issues". The singer had been "obsessively" making these lists since she was a child and they has become her friends' "go-to" for recommendations. Once Lipa started touring, her passion for these lists grew as she was getting to explore the world. The singer said her parents would make fun of her for making these lists. Lipa stated that she created these lists as a "fear of forgetting to share" as well as a way to connect with loved ones and the fact that she loves documenting her experiences. She went on to say "the more we share with each other, the closer we become, the wider our circles grow" and that's she finds "huge joy in telling people what [she's] learned about in any given city and love finding connection in our shared experiences" with Service95 taking that idea and bringing to anyone who is as curious as her about life. The newsletter's name comes from Lipa's birth year, 1995, and the fact that she has always seen herself as "of service" to her friends and family due to these lists, as well as her fans. Lipa had registered the trademark from Service95 in June 2021. Subscribing was made available simultaneously with the announcement and anyone who subscribed within the first 48 hours was deemed a "founding member".
Service95 is a lifestyle newsletter that covers topics including fashion, beauty, the arts, politics, global issues, insights into Lipa's life as well as travel, music, food and book recommendations. It includes articles from well-known individuals as well as a social commentary, comedic features and recommendations including late-night snacks, hotspots, up-and-coming artists, grassroots activists, and travel tips. The newsletter is also intended to give young people the tools to make a difference as looking at the news for them can be quite intense and older individuals want to help but don't know how. Lipa also intended to broaden the types and scopes of stories one would be able to read. She also mentioned that the newsletter is all about accessibility meaning that the whole idea behind it is sharing information and helping one and other. Some issues focus on one story, giving it space to breathe while others will pair lighthearted features with hard-hitting reporting. Lipa teased that the newsletter would include "everything from underground galleries in Brazil, to little-known diners in Louisiana and the best manicurists in Lagos" as well as "her favourite tucked-away hotel in Paris, to the best spot for dumplings in the 11th arrondissement, to the playlist she made to listen to on the flight home". Every issue includes a personal letter from Lipa that mentions where she is in the world and her tips on what she's been doing. Service95 is published by Studio 2054 Productions and based out of London, UK. It is sent to subscribers via email and is available in Albanian, Arabic, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. A website is also set to be launched where users can search for recommendations and articles. Lipa described it as an extension to the photo dumps she posts on Instagram. The first issue was originally scheduled to be released in January 2022 but launched on 3 February 2022.
Issues
Critical reception
In The Telegraph, Rebecca Reid stated "Lipa might really be on to something" as the contributors "have certainly grasped what made all lifestyle blogs great". She continued stating it contains "a feeling that you're discovering things you'd never be cool enough to find on your own, and the kind of recommendation you can pass on to a friend you want to impress while acting like you discovered it yourself". She concluded by stating "it's all the joys of the mid 00's blogosphere, tempered with an inclusive 2022 twist". For Elle, Lucy Cocoran said Service95 is like "an exclusive invitation into Dua's world, as seen through her eyes" while also complimenting her passion for "making it a platform for marginalised voices, bringing important issues to light in a digestible way". The Guardian reviewer Hannah Verdier complimented Lipa's interviewing skills while stating that if the world needs another celebrity interview podcast, she's glad it's Lipa. The reviewer explained by naming the podcast a "thoughtful batch of interviews" that is "a far cry from the interruption-filled rambling of some celebrity pods".

Alongside the announcement of Service95, Lipa revealed that a companion podcast entitled Dua Lipa: At Your Service'' would also accompany the newsletter. The podcast is intended for Lipa to have deep conversations with a line up of high-profile guests. She explained: "though a lot of my guests have done their fair share of talking, I want to go deeper with them. Not only am I probing them about the things I'm most curious about, I'm also treating them like the experts they are". Lipa mentioned that the conversations cover global concerns and casual chats while she hopes that listeners will learn something about themselves from the inspiring stories guests will tell. The goal of the conversations is "understanding their journey in a way that when people listen to it, it feels like it's of service, like the whole conversation, whether it's how a certain author got to where they are, how it all happened, relationship advice, growing up in the industry, understanding what that's like, what it takes to really get to where you want to be". Lipa stated that its interesting being on the other side of the interview. She also mentioned that interviewing is a skill she's been developing and that she has been really enjoying, specifically saying she loves the research element of it and learning about people. The podcast launched on 11 February 2022 and publishes weekly. It is produced by Studio 2054 Productions and is available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish. The podcast is distributed by iHeartRadio. The podcast's first season is set to feature 12 episodes and will feature guests including Russell Brand, CL, Edward Enninful, Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion, Nadia Murad, Olivier Rousteing, Lisa Taddeo, Hanya Yanagihara and Bowen Yang.

Oceania is the debut studio album by New Zealand musical act Oceania, a collaboration between New Zealand vocalist Hinewehi Mohi and English producer Jaz Coleman. Sung in Māori, the album is a blend of Māori music traditions and instruments with 1990s house and pop.
Background
Hinewehi Mohi debuted as a solo musician in the early 1990s, while primarily working as a Television New Zealand producer. She met English producer Jaz Coleman of the band Killing Joke after he moved to New Zealand to become the composer-in-residence for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Mohi sung at a tapu lifting ceremony for a recording studio, during which she impressed Coleman by her vocal ability.
Mohi developed songs alongside Jaz Coleman, often developing songs around an initial chorus melody composed by Mohi. Many of the songs on the album are inspired by the early life of Mohi's daughter Hineraukatauri, who was born with cerebral palsy. No instrument samples were used on the album, with all instruments performed live in studio sessions. Many taonga pūoro performed by traditional musicians were featured in the sessions, including performances by Hirini Melbourne. The name of the project, Oceania, was chosen by record executives, who wanted a name that European listeners could relate to. Mohi herself had wanted a Te Re Māori name for the project. Originally the album was planned for release in 1998, however was delayed due to the takeover of the PolyGram label by Universal Music.

WITV was a television station that broadcast on channel 17 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States. Owned by the Gerico Investment Company, it was the third television station on the air in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale area and the fourth in South Florida, operating from December 1953 to May 1958. It was doomed by troubles that plagued UHF television in the days before the All-Channel Receiver Act and particularly the arrival of two additional VHF TV stations to Miami in 1956 and 1957. The WITV transmitter facility was purchased by the Dade County School Board, eventually resulting in the reactivation of channel 17 as Miami-based WLRN-TV in 1962.
History
When the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lifted its four-year-old freeze on television station applications in 1948, channels 17 and 23 were placed in Fort Lauderdale. Applications for both allotments were received, and on July 30, 1952, the FCC granted channel 23 to radio station WFTL and channel 17 to Gerico Investment. Gerico, a group of local business interests, added television experience when Mortimer Loewi, a former executive of the DuMont Television Network, bought a stake in the firm at the start of 1953. Construction took place that fall, with studios going up in the Hollywood Ridge Farms area and a transmitter being constructed at Hallandale. The station picked up affiliations with DuMont and ABC, though first-call rights for any of these networks' programs were held by the original VHF station in the region, WTVJ (channel 4). A 90-minute opening program on the evening of December 1, 1953, marked the start of channel 17's broadcasting life.
In August 1954, officials from WITV and WFTL-TV announced they were pursuing a merger agreement to combine forces and avoid competition among UHF stations with the threat of networks' preference for VHF stations looming. Their announcement followed a more definite report by the Miami Herald that WITV was to buy out the other station, with channel 17 surviving the merger. However, no final agreement could be reached as the parties differed on particulars of the combination of the two stations. Three months later, WFTL-TV was sold to Storer Broadcasting, which also purchased a construction permit for WMIE-TV channel 27 in Miami. WFTL-TV moved to Miami as WGBS-TV by combining the assets and channel number of WFTL-TV with the Miami location and proposed facilities of the unbuilt WMIE-TV.
In 1957, WITV proposed to move to channel 6, which had just been allocated to Miami, claiming that the FCC's action "effectively deleted UHF service in the Miami area". The idea of a channel 6 station drew criticism to the north and south, from co-channel stations in Orlando (WDBO-TV) and Havana (CMQ-TV). However, the commission rejected WITV's assertion that it was entitled to the channel, ordering it to file applications opposite other interested bidders, and denied its effort to bid on channels 7 and 10, whose statuses had been thrown into doubt due to illegal influence on their comparative hearing proceedings. Meanwhile, the station was given what amounted to a death blow when the third VHF station for Miami appeared. WGBS-TV folded in April 1957 and sold its equipment to Public Service Television, a division of National Airlines, which started up WPST-TV on channel 10 that August and took away the ABC affiliation that had been held by WITV since its inception.
The station then adopted a "curtailed" schedule of programming, broadcasting the minimum 28 hours a week; this continued until WITV limped off the air after its broadcast day on May 11, 1958; owner Loewi was reported to be on a yacht at sea and thus unavailable for comment. The news was reported at the time by the Miami Herald and The Miami News, but it was more than a month before it was "generally known" at the FCC and reported by trade publications.
Channel 17 after WITV
Gerico retained the construction permit and had the option of selling the station or putting it back on the air at a later date. However, the losses it racked up also stayed with the firm. In July 1958, the American Research Bureau, Sterling Television Co., and TelePrompTer Corporation sued to force the company into involuntary bankruptcy. Assets exceeded liabilities by more than $200,000, per later statements in federal bankruptcy court. Assets were sold at a bankruptcy auction in March 1959. The Lunar Corporation purchased the former transmitter site and entered into negotiations for its possible use as a transmission facility for educational television.
In 1959, the Dade County school board purchased the site for $200,000 and received an exemption to use the site, too close to Daytona Beach's channel 2 station otherwise, to relocate WTHS-TV, its educational station, from a facility in Miami. The project would expand the reach of the station, which had previously been limited to Dade, to include areas in Broward County and Palm Beach County.
After purchasing the site, the school board got channel 17 dreams of its own. Since it owned the former WITV equipment and had its own studios, the Dade County school board authorized attorneys to prosecute a plan to reactivate channel 17 for educational use in 1960. This application was designated for hearing by the FCC, along with the license renewal for WITV, in 1961. An FCC hearing examiner sided with the school board, and the channel was shifted from Fort Lauderdale to Miami and reserved for noncommercial use so that the school board could use the same Miami studios for both facilities. Operations of WSEC-TV, changed to WLRN-TV in 1973, began with program tests on June 26, 1962, with several high school courses moving over from WTHS-TV and sets in the schools being fitted with UHF converters.

Dance with Me is the debut extended play by Australian pop punk band Short Stack. The EP was released on 27 March 2015 and peaked at number 12 on the ARIA charts.
Reception
Cameron Cooper from The Music AU said "Propped up by some stellar live cuts, the latest release from Short Stack may fall short when held up against the rest of their discography... The EP is likely to satisfy fans while they await the new record, but won't ignite the masses the way This Is Bat Country did."

Kirby Puckett's 1991 World Series home run was a baseball play that occurred in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series on October 26, 1991, at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Game 6 is widely considered to be one of the greatest World Series games ever played. With the Minnesota Twins facing elimination against the Atlanta Braves, and with the score tied 3–3 in the bottom of the 11th inning, Kirby Pucket stepped up to the plate and drove the game-winning home run off of Charlie Leibrandt into the left field seats to force a decisive Game 7.
This famously led to Jack Buck, who was broadcasting the game on CBS television to say "And we'll see you tomorrow night!" The home run was Puckett's only walk-off home run of his career.
Background
Seven players and five of the coaching staff from the 1987 World Champions ultimately repeated as 1991 World Champions. Only one man has been a part of each of the three Minnesota Twins World Series teams: Tony Oliva. An outfielder in 1965, he was the hitting coach on the 1987 team and bench coach in 1991.
The Twins surprisingly did quite poorly in 1990, finishing last in the AL West division with a record of 74–88, 29 games behind the Athletics, the eventual World Series runner-up. 1991 brought breakout years from newcomers Shane Mack, Scott Leius, Chili Davis, and rookie of the year Chuck Knoblauch, along with consistently excellent performances from stars Hrbek and Puckett. The pitching staff excelled as well, with 20-game winner Scott Erickson, closer Rick Aguilera, and newly acquired free agent, St. Paul native Jack Morris, having all-star years. They all were contributors to the 1991 Twins' improvement from 74 wins to 95. Kirby Puckett led the way by batting .319, eighth in the league and Minnesota surged past Oakland midseason to capture the division title.
Bobby Cox returned to the Atlanta Braves' dugout as manager in the middle of the 1990 season, replacing Russ Nixon. The Braves would finish the year with the worst record in baseball, at 65–97, and traded Dale Murphy to the Philadelphia Phillies after it was clear he was becoming a less dominant player. However, pitching coach Leo Mazzone began developing young pitchers Tom Glavine, Steve Avery, and John Smoltz into future stars. That same year, the Braves used the number one overall pick in the 1990 MLB Draft to select Chipper Jones, who would go on to become one of the best hitters in team history. Perhaps the Braves' most important move, however, was not on the field, but in the front office. Immediately after the season, John Schuerholz was hired away from the Kansas City Royals as general manager.
The following season, Glavine, Avery, and Smoltz would be recognized as the best young pitchers in the league, winning 52 games among them. Meanwhile, behind position players Dave Justice, Ron Gant and unexpected league Most Valuable Player and batting champion Terry Pendleton, the Braves overcame a 39–40 start, winning 55 of their final 83 games over the last three months of the season and edging the Los Angeles Dodgers by one game in one of baseball history's more memorable playoff races. The "Worst to First" Braves, who had not won a divisional title since 1982, captivated the city of Atlanta (and, to a larger degree, the state of Georgia and the entire southeast) during their improbable run to the flag.
Postseason
The Twins then beat the Toronto Blue Jays in five games in the American League Championship Series as Puckett batted .429 with two home runs and five RBI to win the ALCS MVP. Meanwhile, the Braves defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in a very tightly contested seven-game NLCS.
Braves manager Bobby Cox designated Leibrandt the starter for Game 1 of the World Series against the Minnesota Twins. Leibrandt got the start by virtue of his long post-season rest and the fact he was the only Braves starter who had ever pitched in the Metrodome. Leibrandt lost as he pitched decently but was outpitched by Jack Morris.
The setup
World Series Game 6
Going into Game 6, the Twins trailed three games to two with each team winning their respective home games. Puckett gave the Twins an early lead by driving in Chuck Knoblauch with a triple in the first inning. Puckett then made a leaping catch in front of the Plexiglass wall in left field to rob Ron Gant of an extra-base hit in the third. Puckett ultimately fell a double short of hitting for the cycle, getting two singles, a triple, and the homer.
The following box score is of Game 6 of the 1991 World Series.
The play
The game went into extra innings, and in the first at-bat of the bottom of the 11th, Puckett hit a dramatic game-winning home run on a 2–1 count off of Charlie Leibrandt to send the Series to Game 7. The first pitch of the inning was a change-up, which Puckett took for strike one. The next one was a similar high and outside fastball, which Puckett took for ball one; pitch three was another fastball for ball two. The fourth pitch, and last pitch of the game, was a weak, high change-up that failed to break. Puckett made solid contact and sprinted for first, as was his usual practice. Only after he saw first base coach Wayne Terwilliger throw up his hands in victory did Puckett realize he had hit a home run. Leibrandt was called upon to enter the game in a highly unfamiliar role – as a reliever late in the extra-inning game, and very late at night.
Cox endured some criticism for the move because the Braves still had several relievers at their disposal including left-hander Kent Mercker and right-handers Jim Clancy and Mark Wohlers, but the move made sense on another level, because Leibrandt was the only pitcher left on their roster who had previous World Series experience, and although Leibrandt had been subpar in his Game 1 start, the three hitters scheduled to bat for the Twins in the 11th had been a combined 0 for 6 against Leibrandt in that game, including two strikeouts of Puckett.
The calls
Jack Buck
As previously mentioned, Jack Buck, who was broadcasting the game for CBS television alongside Tim McCarver, famously called Puckett's home run with the line "And we'll see you tomorrow night!". 20 years later, Buck's son Joe, who was broadcasting Game 6 of the World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers, for Fox with McCarver, also said "...we will see you tomorrow night!". when describing David Freese's walk-off home run to send that World Series to a decisive seventh game.

Calling the game for a national radio audience on CBS Radio Sports alongside Johnny Bench and John Rooney, this is how Vin Scully described Kirby Puckett's game-winning home run:
Aftermath
In the final and deciding game, Jack Morris pitched a 10-inning shutout, viewed by many baseball historians as one of the greatest pitching performances in a 7th game of the World Series, to beat the Braves 1–0 and bring home the championship to Minnesota. It marked only the second time that the seventh game of the World Series had ever gone into extra innings. The Twins won on a walk-off RBI single by Gene Larkin in the bottom of the 10th inning. The seventh game of the 1991 World Series is widely regarded as one of the greatest games in the history of professional baseball.
1991 was considered to be the first season that any team that ended in last place the previous year advanced to the World Series; both the Twins and Braves accomplished the unprecedented feat. ESPN rated the 1991 World Series as the best ever played in a 2003 centennial retrospective of the World Series. As with the 1987 World Series, which the Twins also won, all 7 games were won by the home team.
The Twins were the first World Series champion to lose three away games and still win the series by winning all four home games; doing it in 1987 and again in 1991. The Arizona Diamondbacks duplicated this feat in 2001, when they became the first National League team to do so.
1992 saw another superb Athletic team that the Twins could not overcome, despite a 90–72 season and solid pitching from John Smiley. After that season, the Twins again fell into an extended slump, posting a losing record each year for the next eight years: 71–91 in 1993, 50–63 in 1994, 56–88 in 1995, 78–84 in 1996, 68–94 in 1997, 70–92 in 1998, 63–97 in 1999 and 69–93 in 2000. From 1994 to 1997, a long sequence of retirements and injuries hurt the team badly, and Tom Kelly spent the remainder of his managerial career attempting to rebuild the Twins.
Despite the 1991 World Series loss, the Braves' success would continue. In 1992, the Braves returned to the NLCS and once again defeated the Pirates in seven games, culminating in a dramatic game seven win. Francisco Cabrera's two-out single that scored David Justice and Sid Bream capped a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave the Braves a 3–2 victory. It was the first time in post-season history that the tying and winning runs had scored on a single play in the ninth inning.
Charlie Leibrandt again had the opportunity to play in the World Series with the Braves the following year. The Braves lost that series also, this time to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games. In the final game, in circumstances eerily similar to Game 6 of the prior year's Series, Leibrandt was called in as a reliever in an extra-inning game. Just as in 1991, Cox was criticized for using Leibrandt as a reliever with closer Jeff Reardon and relievers Marvin Freeman and David Nied still available. Toronto rallied for two runs in the top of the 11th on a hit by Dave Winfield. The Braves did manage to get one of those runs back in the bottom of the 11th; however, it was not enough and Leibrandt ended up as the losing pitcher.
Though the Twins didn't make it to the postseason for the rest of Puckett's career, he remained an elite player. In 1994, Puckett was switched to right field and won his first league RBI title by driving in 112 runs in only 108 games; a pace that projects to 168 RBIs over a full season. But the 1994 season was cut short by a players' strike.
Puckett after the 1995 season was forced to retire at age 35 due to loss of vision in one eye from a central retinal vein occlusion. He retired as the Twins' all-time leader in career hits, runs, doubles, and total bases. At the time of his retirement, his .318 career batting average was the highest by any right-handed American League batter since Joe DiMaggio. Puckett was the fourth baseball player during the 20th century to record 1,000 hits in his first five full calendar years in Major League Baseball, and was the second to record 2,000 hits during his first ten full calendar years. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001, his first year of eligibility.
Legacy
This dramatic game has been widely remembered as the high point in Puckett's career. The images of Puckett rounding the bases, arms raised in triumph, are frequently included in video highlights of his career. After Game 6, the Twins replaced the blue seat back and bottom where the walk-off home run ball was caught with a gold-colored set. Both of these sets remain in the Twins' archives.
The Twins reinstalled a blue seat back and bottom as well as Puckett's #34 on the seat where it remained until the final Minnesota Vikings game of 2013 in the Metrodome when, as local media reported, a fan took the #34 plate off the seat. The original home run seat armrests and hardware, as well as the replacement blue seat back and bottom, are now in a private collection of Puckett memorabilia in Minnesota after the Metrodome was torn down.

Annapurna Temple, Titagarh, is a Hindu navaratna (nine-pinnacled) heritage temple situated on the bank of the Ganges at Rasmani ghat at Titagarh, Barrackpore in North 24 Paragana. The temple is similar to the Bhavatarini temple at Dakshineswar.
History
Annapurna Temple was built on 12 April 1875, by Jagadamba Devi, youngest daughter of Rani Rashmoni. She was married to Mathur Mohan Biswas, who after the death of his first wife Karunamoyee, married Jagadamba Devi. Their son Dwarikanath Biswas made all the arrangements for the establishment of this temple. The temple was opened to devotees by Ramakrishna. Inside the temple complex there is a Natmandir, six Shiva temples and two Nahabatkhanas.

Abu Hassan al-Muqallad ibn al-Musayyab (), known with the honorific Husam al-Dawla (), was an Uqaylid chieftain. He succeeded his older brother, Muhammad, as ruler of Mosul, succeeding in expelling the Buyid governor from the city. His attempts to create a centralized state failed, however, as he had to share power with his older brother Ali, and respect the tribal customs of the Uqayl tribe. His ambitions led him to turn south, towards Buyid-held Iraq, where he came to control a number of towns around Baghdad, including Kufa. In late 1000, he entered into negotiations for the capture of Baghdad, but was assassinated on 22 January 1001.
Origin
Al-Muqallad and the Uqaylids belonged to the Banu Uqayl, a northern Arab tribe. His brother Muhammad began the rise of the Uqaylids to power by exploiting the Kurdish raids into Upper Mesopotamia, and the weakness of the last Hamdanid rulers of Mosul that forced them to turn to the Uqayl for military assistance. In the process, he seized several towns in Upper Mesopotamia, culminating in the capture of Mosul itself in , which he then ruled as the nominal vassal of the Buyid emirs of Iraq.
Succession disputes
When Muhammad died in 996, al-Muqallad and his older brother Ali fought over the succession. According to tribal custom, Ali, as the eldest, should have succeeded their father, and consequently he was also supported by the majority of the Uqayl tribe. Al-Muqallad turned to the Buyid emir Baha al-Dawla for support, promising an annual tribute in exchange. At the same time, he persuaded Ali to assist him in capturing Mosul, claiming that Baha al-Dawla had appointed him governor there. The two brothers successfully took Mosul from its Buyid governor, Abu'l-Jafar al-Hajjaj, and agreed to rule it jointly. Al-Muqallad's agent in Baghdad was unable to prevent an open conflict with the Buyids, but it was soon settled against the payment of 10,000 gold dinars. Al-Muqallad received the honorific title (), the title of leader () of the Arab tribes, and the tax farms of Mosul, Kufa, Qasr (possibly Qasr Ibn Hubayra), and al-Jami'ayn.
While al-Muqallad remained in charge of Mosul and began recruiting a military force composed of Turks and Daylamites, Ali lived as a traditional bedouin chieftain among the Uqayl tribesmen. Soon, however, the rift between Ali and al-Muqallad re-emerged. As the historian Hugh N. Kennedy remarks, the two men represented two different worlds and concepts of government. While Ali "stood for traditional bedouin leadership and relied on the military power of the tribe", al-Muqallad, with his contacts with the Buyid court and its military system based on Turkish and Daylamite troops, pursued a centralized government "very much in the Hamdanid mould".
The conflict between the two brothers erupted in early 997. Despite lavish gifts, al-Muqallad was unable to secure the backing of more than 2,000 Uqayl tribesmen, while 10,000 flocked to Ali's cause instead. However, the clash was avoided through the intercession of their sister, Rahila, who "in a very traditional gesture, had threatened to shame herself in front of the whole tribe" unless they came to terms, as Kennedy writes. The brothers reconciled, and Ali was released and restored to his domains. Al-Muqallad then turned on his brothers' erstwhile ally, the ruler of Wasit, Ali ibn Mazyad, but his campaign was cut short after being informed that Ali planned to seize Mosul in his absence. Through the mediation of Hasan, again the brothers reconciled, and Ali was named as deputy of al-Muqallad for Mosul during the latter's absences from the city. The compromise between al-Muqallad and Ali had far-reaching consequences for the Uqaylid emirate. It ensured that the Uqayl tribesmen, rather than a standing force of professional troops, would be the backbone of the dynasty throughout its existence.
Intrigues in Iraq and death
Al-Muqallad himself devoted most of his attention to his interests in Iraq, where he quickly managed to take over control of Anbar and Tikrit, as well as the settlement of al-Sindiya, located almost at the gates of Baghdad. In Kufa, al-Muqallad replaced the hitherto ruling Khafaja emir Ulyan ibn Thimal. Evidently the appointment was part of a Buyid strategy to counter the threat of the Khafaja with the Uqaylids, but al-Muqallad managed to maintain good relations with the Khafaja, and even enlisted him in his own campaigns. At the same time, by virtue of his expansion into Iraq came into conflict with another Arab tribe, the Banu Asad, under Ali ibn Mazyad, who raided the Uqaylid territories.
In 997/8, al-Muqallad launched a campaign into the Kurdish areas to the northwest, culminating in the capture of the towns of Daquqa and Khanijar in September/October 1000. At about the same time, in 999/1000, Ali died, and was succeeded by a younger brother, al-Hasan. With assistance from the Khafaja, al-Muqallad expelled Hasan from Mosul, securing sole control of the city for himself.
Boosted by his successes, al-Muqallad set his sights on capturing Baghdad itself. It was during negotiations with the Buyids' army commanders that he fell victim to assassination by one of his own Turkish slave-soldiers at Anbar on 22 January 1001.
Due to the loose tribal structure of the Uqaylid regime, his power base quickly crumbled, allowing the Buyids to recover. Al-Muqallad was succeeded by his son, Qirwash, but not before yet another succession struggle between Qirwash and his uncle, Hasan, was resolved via compromise. Qirwash would spend the next few years in trying to keep his father's acquisitions across Iraq.

The dice toll was a regional supplement to the Leibzoll (German “body tax”) with which Jews had to buy free passage across regional borders. It was widespread in certain regions of Europe from the Middle Ages until the 17th century. While the Leibzoll was a monetary payment, the dice toll was comparatively worthless. The dice payment was often demanded of Jews crossing customs borders, and also played a role outside of the official customs trade as a popular form of anti-Jewish harassment.
Location and chronology
The origins of the dice toll are unknown but it is assumed that it first appeared at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century. The earliest written evidence is contained in documents from 1378, when several feudal lords (Nassau, Trier, Mainz) waived the dice duty for their Jewish subjects. There is evidence of temporary exemptions and purchased privileges in later years, but even though the custom went out of fashion in the 15th century, it remained sporadically in use until the 17th century, sometimes even after the abolition of the actual Leibzoll. Numerous records indicate the persistence of this anti-Jewish custom over the centuries. Regionally, the Würfelzoll can be traced to the archdioceses of Mainz and Trier as well as Hesse, and was particularly prevalent in the Upper Rhine region, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and even as far as Reutte in Tyrol.
Forms
The value of the dice was very low; it was a kind of tip to the customs officials, which was often added to the normal Leibzoll, sometimes even replacing it. Because of its low value, the dice toll was not settled with the customs lord. The original function of an "addition" to the Leibzoll, with which customs officers could shorten their waiting times by playing dice, probably later developed into pure harassment or "punishment", since the dice carried by the Jews in later years were not only worthless, but also made of inferior material, e.g. paper. In a few documented cases, playing cards were demanded instead of dice. The Cologne author Ernst Weyden described the dice duty in 1867 as "one of the many vexatious torments" and "meaningless ridicules" that travelling Jews were subjected to.
The levy often consisted of a so-called “double”; meaning a set of three dice.
In addition to the official dice duty, members of the public, often drunken young men, would harass and threaten Jewish travelers or passers-by, demanding the surrender of their dice. This would sometimes lead to violence. Jews did defend themselves, either physically or legally; there is evidence, for example, of the perpetrators being sentenced to tower fines. These forms of harassment were first documented in the Frankfurt mayor's book of 1473 and in 1714 by Johann Jacob Schudt in his work Jüdische Merckwürdigkeiten.
Interpretations
There are no definitive sources on the origins of the dice toll. The most common interpretation is that the dice toll was an "act of punishment" for Jewish participation in the Passion of Christ story. Various other anti-Jewish measures support this interpretation; Jews were often taxed sums containing the number 30 (the number of silver coins of Judas' wages) and punishments for Jews often involved red-hot nails (pointing to the myths about Jewish participation in forging nails of the cross). The interpretation of the dice toll as punishment for gambling away Christ's garments is in line with this. It arises from a passage in the Gospel of Matthew 27:35: "And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." - Contemporary illustrations often depicted this scene with figures throwing dice at the foot of the cross.
Alternatively, the dice toll could be interpreted as a mockery of Jewish customs, such as those from the festival of Purim. According to Gerd Mentgen, a similar connection could be made to the cube-like Jewish Hanukkah dreidels, to which outsiders may have attributed special powers. Among other arguments, the historian substantiates this approach with sources indicating that dice with red lettering in particular were frequently extorted from Jews.
Finally, it cannot be ruled out that the game of dice, which was also widespread among Jews and "the devil's work" from the church's point of view, might have contributed to the origins of the dice toll. Dice-making as a craft is documented among Jews and in Jewish quarters – and the surname Würfel (German for dice), Wörpel or Werfel occurs among both Jews and Christians.

On 17 September 1878 a British Colony of Natal surveyor and a trader were detained by the Zulu whilst on an island in the Thukela River, that marked the boundary between the two territories. The men were robbed but released unharmed. The incident was seized upon by the British High Commissioner for Southern Africa Sir Henry Bartle Frere as a pretext for war with the Zulu and reparations for the incident formed part of his December 1878 ultimatum to the Zulu king Cetshwayo. British forces invaded Zululand on 11 January 1879, following the expiry of the ultimatum.
Incident
A fortification, Fort Buckingham, had been established by the British Colony of Natal near to the Middle Drift (crossing) on the Tugela River that marked the boundary with Zululand. The governor of Natal in 1875, Sir Garnet Wolseley, had ordered a road built to connect the fort and Middle Drift to the settlement of Greytown to the south-west. By 1878 the British High Commissioner for Southern Africa, Sir Henry Bartle Frere, had determined to annex the Zulu kingdom, which he viewed as a threat to peace and to his plan to form a confederation of British territories in the region. British Lieutenant-General Frederic Thesiger was appointed military commander to the region in 1878 and, anticipating a war, ordered an inspection of the border region.
As part of the inspection it was decided to survey the condition of the road between Greytown and Fort Buckingham. This provided access to the Middle Drift which was a potential route for British forces to cross into Zululand. David Smith of the Natal Colonial Engineers Department was ordered to survey the road but because troops on the border had previously raised tensions with the Zulu, was ordered to do so without a military escort. Smith proceeded in his task, accompanied only by a trader named W. H. Deighton.
On 17 September 1878 the pair were inspecting that part of the road closest to the Middle Drift. A party of Zulu warriors were present on the far bank of the Thukela, posted to provide warning of any British crossings. The Zulu called across to Smith and Deighton but the men ignored them. Smith and Deighton crossed the Middle Drift from the Natal bank to an island close to the Zulu shore to survey the crossing. The water level was low and the island was separated from the Zulu bank only by a stretch of very shallow water.
The Zulu warriors possibly feared that the men were preparing the route for a British invasion and crossed to the island, which they had long considered formed part of Zulu territory. Smith and Deighton were detained by the Zulu for around an hour. The men were made to turn out their pockets, after which their smoking pipes and handkerchiefs were stolen. Their horses were also confiscated but these were returned when a passing Zulu inDuna (commander) ordered the Zulu to release Smith and Deighton. The men were not injured during the incident.
Aftermath
Smith apparently deemed the incident minor in nature and did not report it to his superiors. However, Deighton did report the incident. The governor of Natal Sir Henry Ernest Gascoyne Bulwer regarded it as a minor affair, expected to occur on a border between a European power and a tribal people. Frere initially agreed with this assessment, writing "I concur with you in attributing no special importance to the seizure and temporary arrest of the surveyors, which was partly due to their own indiscretion, and was evidently in no way sanctioned by the Zulu authorities".
However Frere later seized on the incident as evidence for the threat posed by the Zulus to Natal. When it became public knowledge the incident caused outrage among the settlers in Natal. Frere demanded reparations for the incident in his 11 December ultimatum to Cetshwayo. Among the first items listed in the ultimatum was a demand for of 100 cattle, to be provided within 20 days, as compensation for the offence against Smith and Deighton. The remainder of the ultimatum included more onerous demands that amounted to the effective dismantling of the Zulu social and military system. Frere drew up the ultimatum in the expectation that Cetshwayo would reject it and allow Frere to begin hostilities with the view to annexing Zululand. The ultimatum expired on 11 January 1879 and British forces invaded Zululand, beginning the Anglo-Zulu War that eventually saw the defeat of the Zulu.

Marianne Francis (1790–1832) was an English evangelical, now known principally as a correspondent of Hester Piozzi and Sarah Wesley. She has been called an "evangelical bluestocking", and is recognised as a significant participant in debate about religious enthusiasm.
Early life
She was the daughter of Clement Francis (died 1792), a physician and medical writer, and his wife Charlotte Ann Burney, daughter of Charles Burney and sister of Frances Burney. Her mother married, secondly, in 1798, Ralph Broome (1742–1805), against her father's wishes.
Marianne early studied Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic. She showed mathematical ability, and undertook a wide course of reading. She wrote hymns, at least from age ten. She "impressed all she knew by her linguistic ability, learning, and brilliant performances on the pianoforte." Charles Burney, himself a musician, wrote to his daughter Frances that Marianne was a "marvellous performer":
She may perhaps be styled a Bravura performer. But her courage & persistence in attacking difficulties of all kinds, is unparalleled, so that in spite of my civility to her countenance, I pronounce her to be—a monster.
In Bath in 1805, Marianne met Hester Piozzi, and an extensive correspondence ensued. The Francis family shortly moved to Exmouth, in 1806, and kept in touch. Marianne's diaries 1803–9, and 1820–1, are extant.
Wilberforce and Young
Introduced to William Wilberforce at Gore House, Marianne became a classical tutor and secretary in the family, and came to know the Clapham Sect more generally, including the Thornton family. She told Barbara Wilberforce (1799–1821), daughter of the house and a reluctant pianist, that "you may, by practising an hour a day be able to manage a hymn & any simple melodies" without a musician's dedication.
Her mother's life was now itinerant: to Richmond, Surrey to stay with her daughter Charlotte Barrett; at Brighton for the sea air; much time on the continent of Europe with her invalid son Clement who had become a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. This nomadic existence, however, did not suit Marianne.
In early 1811 Marianne underwent painful eye treatment in London under Jonathan Wathen Phipps, and Piozzi's friend Sir William Pepys, 1st Baronet kept her company as she recovered. Later that year, she went with her mother on a visit to Bradfield Hall, Essex, with the aging Arthur Young; a close friendship resulted with Young, who died in 1820. She acted as secretary to Young, who suffered from cataract, and lost his sight. An account of the Bradfield Hall household when Marianne was a visitor, sleeping over the servant's hall, including Young's French secretary St Croix, was given by Young's daughter in a letter of 1814.
Young's son the Rev. Arthur Young (1769–1827) owned an estate in the Crimea, near Kaffa, and in June 1817 Young told Francis he had heard from him. A month or so later Lewis Way enquired of Young about the estate, Karagos, as a potential community for Jewish converts to Christianity. Francis visited the Poune's Court synagogue in Brighton, for Yom Kippur (20 September 1817). In a letter of February 1818 to Piozzi, she gave an account of Hebrew tuition she had there from a German Jew named Fishel; whom she asked to read the New Testament.
Francis engaged in Wilberforce's philanthropic work with the poor. She taught in charity schools, including Young's near Bradfield Hall where she introduced the monitorial system; she visited workhouses and prisons.
Later life
Marianne Francis had religious views in common with her cousin Frances (Fanny) Raper, who followed "enthusiastic" and Irvingite preachers; her own mother and sister came to think she took too much account of Irvingite views, and wished to include them. She predeceased her mother, dying on 15 March 1832, aged 42.
"Evangelical bluestockings"
It has been noted of the literary circle around Sarah Wesley, of which Marianne Francis was a member, that they circulated writings privately, rather than published them. Others in the group were Elizabeth Benger, Agnes Bulmer, Maria Spilsbury and Mary Tighe. They debated in particular "whether or not religious enthusiasm, properly regulated, had a place in social and religious life and particularly whether women had a role in securing this place."
Correspondence
An Edition of the Letters of Marianne Francis (1790–1832) to Hester Lynch Piozzi (1741–1821), 1808–10 (1975), editor Diane Menagh. Almost all that survives of the Francis–Piozzi correspondence consists of Marianne's letters to Hester. Hester mentioned Marianne in letters to Thomas Sedgwick Whalley, including a conversation of Marianne with Hannah More at Wilberforce's house in 1813.
As part of a larger correspondence between the Burney and Wesley families, Marianne was in touch with both Sarah Wesley and her brother Samuel Wesley.
The Burney Papers collection of New York Public Library holds more than 100 letters from Arthur Young to Marianne. There are also family letters at the NYPL and the British Library, from Marianne to her sister Charlotte Barrett.

Volodymyr Borysovych Tsemakh (nicknamed "Borysych"; born July 4, 1961, Snizhne) is a pro-Russian militant of the Donetsk People's Republic terrorist organization, a Ukrainian collaborator with Russia, and a former Soviet soldier. In 2014 he was the Commander of the
Air Defense Company in Snizhne, took part in hostilities in the area where the Boeing 777 flight MH17 was shot down.
In June 2019, during a special operation, the Security Service of Ukraine detained Tsemakh in Snizhne and took him out of the occupied territory. He was under investigation in Kyiv, but on September 5 the court released Tsemakh from custody. On September 7 he was transferred to Russia as a part of an exchange of prisoners.
Biography
He was born on July 4, 1961 in the town of Snizhne. He graduated from Poltava Higher Anti-Aircraft Missile Command School.
He served in the Armed Forces of the USSR, participated in hostilities during the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan, where he was the operator or commander of the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun ZSU-23-4.
The war in eastern Ukraine
Since the spring of 2014, he has taken an active part in the fighting in eastern Ukraine on the side of the pro-Russian forces of the Donetsk People's Republic, an organization that Ukraine recognizes as terrorist. The first combat position, according to the then Minister of Defense "DNR" Igor Girkin ("Shooter"), — the commander of the calculation of mobile installations ZU-23-2 near the village of Semenovka during the battles for Slovyansk.
He was the commander of a separate air defense company in the city of Snizhne since its formation on June 7, 2014. According to the investigation, on July 17, 2014, a Boeing 777 of flight MH17 was shot down from the Snizhne district (Pervomaiskyi town).
In a Russian propaganda video, Tsemakh personally conducted a film crew at the crash site of a Malaysian Boeing and told about the downing of the Su-25 (which took place on July 16). From his account, Bellingcat concluded that Tsemakh had information about the movement and was directly involved in hiding after the Buk missile crash, from which the Boeing was shot down.
According to Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov, during July-August 2014, Tsemakh's company, together with the Russian Armed Forces, attacked planes and helicopters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Butusov, as company commander Tsemakh knew the field commanders of the militants near the town of Snizhne and had information about the role of Girkin ("Shooter") and the Russian military in the Fights on the Ukrainian–Russian border.
According to Girkin, during July-August 2014, Tsemakh's company was armed with several ZU-23-2 and NSV-12.7 Utyos anti-aircraft guns, but did not have weapons capable of shooting down Boeing.
According to TheBabel, Tsemakh organized the supply of military equipment, heavy weapons, small arms and ammunition from Russia to the Donetsk region and their distribution among the militants of the Donetsk People's Republic in Snizhne .
In March 2015, Tsemakh was released and sent to the DNR military commissariat in Donetsk. In March 2017, he was appointed Deputy Battalion Commander of Military Unit 08819, but was later released early.
Detention and arrest
On June 27, 2019, as part of a special SBU operation, Tsemakh was detained in a state of intoxication in his own apartment in the temporarily occupied Snizhne and taken to the territory controlled by Ukraine via Marinka. According to the publication "Petro and Mazepa", the operation was prepared by the SBU Counterintelligence for 2 years: the detention and removal were also carried out by agents — previously recruited in Russia, citizens of Ukraine. Various sources later said that Ukraine's military intelligence was also involved in the operation to detain Tsemakh. They hit anti-personnel mines.
On June 28, Tsemakh was taken to Kyiv, and the next day the Kyiv Shevchenkivskyi District Court arrested him for two months. He was charged under Article 258-3 Part 1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("Creation of a terrorist group or terrorist organization", from 8 to 15 years in prison).
The Dutch prosecutor's office has shown considerable interest in the Tsemakh case, considering Tsemakh a valuable witness in the investigation into the downing of the Malaysian Boeing. It is believed that Tsemakh's testimony in court in the Netherlands may increase the legitimacy of the investigation, as in September 2019 he was the only available witness directly involved in the fighting on the ground and during the downing of the plane, could have information about specific events and the chain of command.
According to Tsemach, investigators from Austria and the Netherlands offered him Dutch citizenship and participation in a witness protection program in exchange for testimony.
On September 5, Tsemakh was released from custody, although two days earlier, on September 3, the court continued Tsemakh's arrest. The dismissal was at the request of a lawyer. Tsemakh was given certain personal obligations — in particular, to appear on summons, but did not wear an electronic bracelet. Prosecutors demanded that Tsemakh be kept in custody, saying he could escape. Prosecutor Oleg Peresada said that now Tsemakh would be "quite difficult to access for an international joint investigation team."
Transfer to Russia and further destiny
Since the beginning of talks with President Zelensky on the exchange of prisoners, Russian President Putin has insisted on the transfer of Tsemakh. Prior to the extradition, investigations were carried out with Tsemakh, in particular with the participation of the Dutch side, as insisted by European leaders in negotiations with Zelensky.
On September 7, 2019, he was transferred to Russia as part of an exchange of prisoners in the format of 35-to-35.
On September 10, 2019, Tsemakh returned to ORDLO, his daughter Maria Levchenko-Tsemakh reported.
Mykola Polozov, a lawyer for the released Ukrainian sailors, said that Russia could extradite Tsemakh to the Netherlands as part of their investigation into the downing of Malaysia Airlines' Boeing, as he is not a Russian citizen.
On September 11, Katie Peary, a member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands, said that the Netherlands had retrained Tsemakh, who was previously considered a key witness in the case of the destruction of the Malaysian MH17 aircraft, on suspicion. Subsequently, the Dutch government appealed to the Russian prosecutor's office to assist in the search for Tsemakh so that the Dutch could interrogate him.
On November 7, Tsemakh's lawyer said that Volodymyr was ready to testify in the case of the downing of the plane by Dutch investigators, demanding it to take place in Russian-occupied and pro-Russian militants in Donetsk.
On December 3, the SBU declared Tsemakh wanted. It is stated that the date of disappearance is considered to be September 23, and the precautionary measure was not chosen for him. At the request of the Netherlands to extradite Tsemakh, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that "there is no convincing evidence base."
