The Retreat is a Canadian slasher film, directed by Pat Mills and released in 2021. The film stars Tommie-Amber Pirie and Sarah Allen as Renee and Valerie, a lesbian couple who book a weekend trip to a cabin in the woods, only to be abducted and tortured by a mysterious figure who livestreams gruesome killings of gay people on the Internet for profit. The film was directly inspired by a desire to subvert the "bury your gays" and "dead lesbian syndrome" tropes common in horror fiction, by telling a story in which queer characters are placed in a conventional horror film scenario but successfully use their wits to survive and fight back. The cast also includes Rossif Sutherland, Aaron Ashmore, Celina Sinden, Munro Chambers, Chad Connell, Patrick Garrow, Joey Coleman, Gavin Fox and Don Masters. The film was released to video on demand platforms in May 2021. Critical response Chris Knight of Postmedia Network wrote that "The Retreat, with its same-sex protagonists and revenge-fantasy template, might be crudely characterized as a kind of lesbian Get Out, though I guess that title would have to be changed to Get Back In (The Closet). But the filmmakers clearly aren't trying to copy anyone. Richards has crafted an original story with relatively few moving parts, and a satisfyingly frightening premise. You might run from it if you're squeamish about violence, but otherwise it's definitely worth chasing." For The Globe and Mail, Anne T. Donahue wrote that "much like the heroes of this story, The Retreat manages to defy expectations. And while some gory clichés still abound, it makes for a gruesome, gritty thriller that lets its leads shine. Especially since stars Sarah Allen and Tommie-Amber Pirie (who play Val and Renee) adhere viewers to them so successfully thanks to their depth and agency."

The Battle of Agios Vasileios () took place on 22 January 1949. It was fought during the course of Operation Peristera as part of the Greek Civil War, pitting forces of the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) led by against the government army under Periklis Papathanasiou. In the early morning hours of 22 January, nationalist Raider Regiments launched an attack on the village of . The DSE troops resting in the village were caught by surprise due to a combination of poor security measures and exhaustion. The ensuing confusion and the numerical superiority of the nationalists led to heavy casualties among the communists. Tsoukopulos was subsequently convicted by a military tribunal and executed by for his role in the defeat at Agios Vasileios. The Battle of Agios Vasileios dealt a severe blow to DSE's Peloponnesian Division, hastening its complete disintegration by the end of 1949. Background In the aftermath of the Axis occupation of Greece, tensions arose between the Communist Party of Greece backed EAM-ELAS resistance movement and the Greek government in exile. The rivalry between the British-backed government and EAM-ELAS resulted in the Dekemvriana clashes in Athens (December 1944 – January 1945). EAM-ELAS was defeated and had to accept its disarmament in the Treaty of Varkiza (February 1945). The disarmament of EAM-ELAS fighters facilitated the persecution of its supporters by various right-wing paramilitary bands. Greek leftists established self-defense militias, known as Groups of Democratic Armed Persecuted Fighters (ODEKA). The Communist Party of Greece began preparations for an armed confrontation with the Greek government in April 1946. By the end of the year, the communist party had established a rival government known as the Provisional Democratic Government, with the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) acting as its army; while the conflict had escalated into the Greek Civil War. At the end of 1948, DSE controlled all of Peloponnese's main mountain ranges including Taygetus, Parnon and Mainalo. Its morale was high due to a series of victories against the national government forces and its strength had been brought to 4,870 combatants through a conscription drive that was held between October and November 1948. The head of the American military advisory mission Lieutenant General James Van Fleet pressured the Greek government into initiating large scale counter-insurgency operations since he feared that the United States Congress would not approve further military aid for Greece beyond the summer of 1949. In the eyes of the national government the Peloponnese branch of the DSE was the weakest since it was isolated from the countries of the Eastern Bloc and could only be supplied by sea. Between 1 December 1948 and February 1949, national army troops thwarted three DSE supply attempts, bringing its shortages in ammunition to a critical point. The region's proximity to Athens also necessitated its pacification for political reasons. Operation Peristera was planned by Lieutenant General Dimitris Giantzis, it envisioned the transfer of 12,000 soldiers and gendarmes from central and northern Greece, bringing the total strength of the government forces in Peloponnese to 44,000 men. Government troops would then conduct clearance operations along the Corinth-Patras-Pyrgos axis by utilizing its road and railroad infrastructure. By launching the operation from the north of Peloponnese, the national army would prevent any possible reinforcements arriving from Central Greece. It was also argued that conquest of the more densely populated areas of the peninsula would put pressure on DSE's sympathizers in the south to switch sides. The national army sought to apply the concept of total war, by depriving the rebels of their support base. This was to be achieved through a combination of mass arrests and the extrajudicial killing of communist sleeper agents and supporters among the civilian population. The operation was to be executed by the I Army Corps commanded by Lieutenant General Thrasyvoulos Tsakalotos along with auxiliary units of the Hellenic Gendarmerie, Hellenic National Guard and . On the night of 24/25 December 1948, nationalist authorities arrested approximately 4,500 civilians in areas under their control, most of whom were politically neutral. Those detained were accused of sympathizing with the communists and deported to the Trikeri and Makronisos concentration camps. The wave of arrests was conducted in combination with strict censorship and the establishment of numerous checkpoints that severely restricted trade and mobility in the peninsula. Those measures instilled fear into DSE's supporters, many of whom ceased providing the rebels with information and black market products. The counter-insurgency operation was launched on 27 December, with the Gulf of Corinth, the plains of Achaea and the mountain foothills in the north being the first to be targeted. DSE responded by sabotaging the region's transport infrastructure, however the absence of necessary tools rendered those efforts ineffective. The DSE high command decided to engage in delaying battles across the entire northern front in order to exhaust the nationalist army. The rebels would allow the nationalists to reach the Ladon River valley, whereupon they would penetrate into the rear lines of their adversaries. The rebels planned to attack their supply lines and elude the bulk of the hostile troops by moving into mountainous terrain. While the communists had successfully applied elusive maneuvers in the past, their efforts fell short in 1949 due to several factors. Heavy snowfall blocked many mountain paths, making the movements of the rebels more predictable. The nationalists had refined their patrol tactics and employed a large number of armed civilians further limiting DSE's mobility. In the north of the peninsula, DSE units fell victim to numerous ambushes, suffering heavy losses. Prelude On 19 January 1949, DSE ordered its 55th Brigade to assault Leonidio in a diversionary attack. Its location outside the axis of the nationalist offensive and the large stockpiles of food and military equipment within the town made it an attractive target for the communists. The rebels were hoping that the attack on Leonidio combined with the recent fall of Karpenisi in central Greece would provide their units in northern Peloponnese some respite. The Battle of Leonidio began on the night of 20/21 January. The rebels advanced barefoot but the element of surprise was lost when they were spotted by government sentries. Heavy fighting lasted for five hours, until Milos Manolaki fortified position which was the crux of the nationalist defensive line was targeted by two Panzerfaust missiles. The defenders withdrew towards the town's port, while receiving covering fire from the Pindos and Symi warships. A few minutes after DSE fighters entered into Leonidio the commander of the 55th Brigade Theodoros Prekezes ordered all units to withdraw from the town immediately. Prekezes had previously received a phone call informing him that 1,000 soldiers of the Raider Regiments had departed Sparta for Parnon's Vamvakou peak in an effort to encircle his unit. The communists had expended large amounts of ammunition in the battle and were forced to hurriedly abandon the town without looting its warehouses. The outcome of the Battle of Leonidio further exacerbated DSE's shortages in ammunition at a point when it was facing unprecedented pressure. After the conclusion of the battle, the 55th Brigade needed to reorganize itself and provide rest, medical attention and hot food to its soldiers. This could only be accomplished in populated villages, despite the risks such a maneuver could entail. Its 1st and 2nd battalions established themselves in the Platanaki and Palaiochori villages. Alekos Tsoukopoulos’ battalion moved to the Pigadi Xioni locale west of the village where it set up bonfires in a fir forest. At approximately 22:00 pm on 21 January a messenger arrived at Pigadi Xioni from Palaiochori carrying an order from Prekezes, Tsoukopoulos informed his soldiers that they were to spend the night at Agios Vasileios. Prekezes gave the order after receiving a phone call from DSE's Western Parnon call center. DSE's telephone operators were captured by nationalist soldiers and then forced to transmit misleading information. At the time Agios Vasileios housed the Parnon Command's political structure, logistics and medical units. Owing to its remote location it was considered safe and guarded by a small People's Civil Guard unit. Tsoukopoulos’ battalion arrived at Agios Vasileios one and a half hours later where most of its soldiers were assigned on guard duty. The 3rd and 4th Raider Squadrons commanded by Periklis Papathanasiou and Psarrakis respectively were carrying out operations in Parnon during the course of the Battle of Leonidio. After capturing the communist telephone operators, the raiders numbering some 900-1200 men encircled Agios Vasileios aiming to ambush their adversaries after most of them had fallen asleep. The total number of DSE fighters in the village was approximately 240. Owing to exhaustion the communists had failed to take the necessary steps to secure the village's perimeter. The raiders managed to learn the passwords used by the DSE soldiers on guard duty. Operation Just before sunrise on 22 January 1949, the nationalist army attacked Agios Vasileios from multiple directions. Tsoukopoulos gathered his officers in the village's square informing them that they had been encircled. At the time Tsoukopoulos was unaware that the road leading to the village from the north-east towards Pigadi and the Toumpano height was open. Tsoukopoulos tasked his company commanders with finding breakthrough points independently from various directions. Panagiotis Skagos' company was to seize the Toumpano height; Dimitrios Koutroulakis' company was dispatched to the school and the houses overlooking the road to Platanaki; Konstantinos Papakonstantinou led his company towards the Achlada height. Before Koutroulakis was able to carry out his plan he was informed that nationalist soldiers had already ambushed his company causing heavy casualties. The raiders had hidden inside a lone house on the outskirts of the village which was supposed to have been secured by Koutroulakis's men during the night. Koutroulakis and Papakonstantinou agreed to join their forces in attacking the Platanaki road. A wave of panicking civilians fleeing the fighting mixed in with the two units, causing a delay in their deployment. Upon reaching the edge of the village the two companies encountered heavy fire and decided to counter-attack in the direction of Achlada. Papakonstantinou's men reached the edge of the forest without encountering any resistance, as the enemy machine guns continued to fire on the village. Koutroulakis was initially following behind but then suddenly ordered his soldiers to fall back to the village. Some of Papakonstantinou's soldiers became confused and also went back to the village. Koutroulakis' company and stragglers from other units, some 80 people in total encountered a force of approximately 500 raiders. The two sides engaged in sanguinary close-quarters combat, before all of the communists were either killed or captured. The reason behind Koutroulakis' decision to turn back remains unknown since he was killed in action. A DSE machine gun platoon at the village's graveyard overlooked an exposed, snow covered plain; easily suppressing a nationalist attempt to block the road to Pigadi. Tsoukopoulos mistook the machine gun rattle originating from the graveyard for nationalist fire. Tsoukopoulos led a platoon in a counter-attack on the Kastanitsa road in the north-western part of the village, the counter-attack failed and Tsoukopoulos returned to the village square. It was only at that point that he realized that the road to Pigadi was open, he forwarded his platoon to the graveyard and sent staff officer Giorgis Sampanis to gather the defenders remaining in the village and lead them to the north-east. Tsoukopoulos then took up a position on Toumpano and began firing on the raiders entering the village, later utilizing the machine gun that had been transferred from the graveyard. Sampanis and political officer Dimitris Kottis were attempting to gather panicking civilians and military personnel across the village when they came face to face with nationalist commandos and were killed in the subsequent exchange of fire. Papakonstantinou's company advanced through the forest before securing Achlada and the nearby heights. The nationalists briefly skirmished with the defenders of Achlada but soon abandoned any attempts to capture it due to its steep terrain and low visibility. When the commander of the 55th Brigade realized what had happened, he moved his troops towards the roads the raiders were most likely to use in their withdrawal, namely the roads towards Pigadi and the Elonas monastery. Prekezes suspected that Agios Vasileios had been attacked due to the sounds of gunfire coming from its direction, however he was unable to immediately deploy his troops since he lacked critical information about the situation on the ground. Tsoukopoulos had dispatched a messenger, having forgotten about the availability of a working phone. As it began to dawn, communist reinforcements began to arrive in Agios Vasileios, attacking the rear and the south-eastern flank of their adversaries from the direction of Platanaki. Taken by surprise by the attack and realizing that he was threatened with encirclement raider commander Psarrakis ignored direct orders and commanded an immediate withdrawal from the area. The raiders managed to occupy the Koumarias height east of the village and began to retreat towards Leonidio and Astros; murdering captured prisoners who could not follow their pace. They were pursued by a force of two companies and two platoons, before a blizzard enabled them to reach safety. The surviving defenders reoccupied Agios Vasileios. Aftermath According to a nationalist army report, DSE lost 181 men killed and 78 captured; the report made no distinction between rebel fighters and leftist civilians. Other estimates lowered DSE casualties to 135 killed (35 murdered after being captured) or 70-80 killed and 60 captured. Nationalist casualties amounted to 30 killed and wounded and 7 captured. On 24 January, the 55th Brigade was reorganized into six double-companies and Tsoukopoulos was relieved from his battalion's command and placed at the disposal of the brigade. Several days later, DSE formed a commission to investigate the reasons behind the defeat at Agios Vasileios. The preliminary investigation identified battalion's company commanders, political officer Panos Kontogiannis and commander Tsoukopoulos as responsible. Tsoukopoulos assumed full responsibility for the outcome of the battle and thus the investigations concerning the company commanders were halted. On 2 February, Tsoukopoulos and Kontogiannis stood trial in front of a military tribunal that took place in the village square of Agios Vasileios. The tribunal unanimously sentenced Tsoukopoulos and Kontogiannis to death, the latter's sentence was suspended for five years after he admitted guilt and asked for clemency. Tsoukopoulos was executed the following day. The heavy toll of the battle and Tsoukopoulos' execution caused the morale of the Peloponnesian DSE fighters to plunge, loosening their discipline. Some DSE personnel including Papakonstantinou argued that the trial did not follow due process and Tsoukopoulos was scapegoated in the name of maintaining discipline. Between 27 and 28 January, DSE's Achaea Command fell into a series of ambushes losing 80 killed and 78 wounded. On 9 February, the last big formation of DSE in the north of the peninsula (150 soldiers) was defeated in battle. The remnants of the unit wandered around the countryside as either lone soldiers or small groups losing their cohesion. Most of the troops belonging to the Parnon Command began its march to the north of the peninsula on 28 February. The rebels suffered from hunger and frostbite, and were regularly harried by armed peasants and the nationalist military. Many DSE soldiers opted to commit suicide rather than surrender, as the nationalists began employing more brutal extrajudicial killing methods such as immolation. Papakonstantinou's Company was the only one from Parnon to reach its target destination, uniting with the Peloponnese Division's headquarters in the Kapeli forest. On 7 March, the last remaining DSE battalion on Parnon was destroyed. On 14 March, the main DSE force on Peloponnese was defeated at Drakovouni, the surviving guerrillas jumped into the Ladon River. The last organized DSE units held out in Taygetus, small in number and lacking information about the progress of the war elsewhere they later became an easy target for government counter-insurgency operations. DSE Peloponnese had been destroyed and most of the communist hold outs had been killed by the end of 1949.

A by-election was held in the provincial district of Athabasca in Saskatchewan on February 15, 2022, following the resignation of incumbent New Democrat MLA Buckley Belanger. After 16 years in Parliament, Belanger resigned from the legislature on August 15, 2021, to run in the 2021 Canadian federal election, as a federal Liberal in the riding of Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River. He was defeated. The seat was vacant for six months between Belanger's resignation and the by-election. The seat, which was first contested in 1908, had been held by either the Liberals or New Democrats for the entirety of its history. Along with the neighbouring northern riding of Cumberland, the riding has been considered one of the safest New Democratic seats in Saskatchewan, although candidates for the centre-right Saskatchewan Party have polled somewhat better results in the 21st century compared to Saskatchewan Party and Progressive Conservative candidates in previous elections. In a major upset, the Saskatchewan Party's Jim Lemaigre, defeated NDP candidate, and former federal MP for much of the district, Georgina Jolibois. The NDP had held the predominantly-indigenous riding almost continuously since 1975, and a conservative candidate had not come within ten percentage points of victory since 1964. The result also came in spite of polling in the month before showing the NDP closer to the Saskatchewan Party in province-wide support than any point in the previous five years. Reaction In the immediate aftermath of the results, Saskatchewan Premier and Saskatchewan Party leader Scott Moe called the results "very significant", noting that the Saskatchewan Party government had "always had MLAs representing every part of the province, except for the far north. That changed tonight. Saskatchewan Party MLAs now represent every part of [Saskatchewan]." Winning candidate Jim Lemaigre stated that he believed a desire for a voice in government had been key to the results, stating that "one elder put it quite nicely, he said 'We've been on the outside of government for so long, why wouldn't we put ourselves back there with this opportunity.' ". The results also had a significant impact on the provincial NDP, with provincial leader Ryan Meili announcing his resignation as NDP leader three days after the election. Meili said the result was not the reason for his decision, but said that it was "clarifying", and conceded that losing the seat was "really disappointing." Ken Coates, a Professor of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan, expressed surprise at the results, arguing that the Saskatchewan Party “has not been very supportive of northern issues for quite some time” and hasn't consistently reached out to Indigenous people. He argued that the results demonstrated "the really serious failure of the NDP to understand the province of Saskatchewan outside Regina and Saskatoon." Coates argued that the results were primarily driven by local issues, stating that he did not think "either of the leaders played a critical role in this at all" but that the NDP "really does not have a terribly good handle on Indigenous or rural issues”.

Grenoble City Hall () is the seat of the city council in Grenoble, France. The City Hall, on the edge of Paul Mistral Park, was built from 1965 to 1967 as part of preparations for the 1968 Winter Olympics. The main architect was Maurice Novarina, assisted by Jacques Giovannoni, Jacques Christin and Marcel Welti. It is built of steel, glass, aluminium and concrete. It replaced the Hôtel de Lesdiguières, the former government seat since 1719. The instructions for a new city hall came from the French state in 1962, and the chosen site was occupied by military buildings and part of the site of 1925's International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism. The building was opened on 18 December 1967 by interior minister Christian Fouchet, mayor Hubert Dubedout and sports minister François Missoffe. The building's 12-storey tower requires foundations of 15 to 18 metres. Offices related to local government and the mayor are located on the ground floor, and those related to local services in the tower. In March 2003, the building was one of several in Grenoble to be given the "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" (20th Century Heritage) status by the French state.

The Makhamra family (), also Muhamra or Mahmara, is an extended family from the Palestinian city of Yatta, in the Hebron Governorate, West Bank. It is one of the largest clans in southern Mount Hebron. In Palestinian Arabic, the meaning of Makhamra is "winemakers", an act forbidden in Islam according to a common interpretation. The Makhamra family has a tradition of descending from a Jewish Arab tribe from Khaybar who was expelled from the Arabian Peninsula. Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, a historian who later became the second President of Israel, visited Yatta during the 1920s and interviewed the village's mukhtar, 'Ibn Aram. Ben-Zvi later wrote that the ancestor of three of the six clans that make up the village was Muheimar, a Jew who came up from the desert with his tribe and conquered the village, probably in the second half of the 18th century. In 1938, Arab families from Yatta were reported to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, lighting candles retrieved from the Jewish community of Hebron. Several members of the Makhamra clan were interviewed for a Channel 1 article about Tzvi Misinai, a former high-tech entrepreneur, and admitted that they are aware of their Jewish origins, although today they consider themselves Muslims for many generations since their ancestors converted to Islam. Members of the clan are today reluctant to acknowledge their Jewish heritage, probably due to the fear that Israel will use that to support its claim for ownership over the land. Recently, Makhamra clan members has been linked to Palestinian terrorism. On June 8, 2016, two members of the clan, Khaled Mahmara and Muhammad Mahamara, carried out a shooting attack in Sarona Market, Tel Aviv, during which they killed four people. Some writers have attributed that activity to their desire to show their neighbors that despite their "Jewish past", they are sided with the Palestinians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Vinquoy chambered cairn () is a Neolithic chambered cairn located on the island of Eday, in Orkney, Scotland. The tomb probably dates to the early third millenium BC, and is similar in design to Maeshowe Neolithic tomb found on Mainland Orkney. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1936. Description Vinquoy chambered cairn is a restored Maeshowe-type Neolithic tomb on the island of Eday in Orkney, Scotland. The monument was built on the highest point in the island, on Vinquoy Hill on the North side of Eday, overlooking Calf Sound. The tomb is approximately in diameter with a height of , and was constructed with red sandstone. It has a entrance passage leading to a central chamber with four small side-cells. The chambered cairn is partly below ground, carved into the hill. The central chamber originally had a corbelled roof. The site is open to the public and is part of the Eday Heritage Trail. History The tomb was first excavated in 1857 by antiquarian James Farrer and landowner Robert Fraser Hebden, who dug into the chamber through the top of the mound. According to the 1878 journal of the Society of Antiquarians of Scotland, Hebden, who bought his Eday estate in 1850, "made considerable antiquarian researches over the island from time to time at his own expense; but although the property abounds in ancient tumuli, nothing of interest was discovered beyond a few flint flakes, some human skulls, and a sculptured stone which he presented to the Museum". The tomb most likely dates to the early third millenium BC, because of its similar design to Maeshowe Neolithic chambered tomb on Mainland Orkney, which dates to 2800 BC. Vinquoy chambered cairn was originally scheduled by Historic Scotland in 1936.

Bogdanov was appointed the first rector of the institute. Among the first teachers were professors Vasily Lytkin and A. S. Sidorov, a total of seventeen teachers, including one professor, eight associate professors, five assistants and three teachers.

The opening of the educational process took place on 21 February 1932, the curricula of the institute at that time were drawn up for three years. The structure of the institute consisted of three departments: chemical and biological, physical and mathematical (technical) and social and literary, as well as nine general institute departments included in these departments. From 1934 to 1954, the Teachers' Institute (two-year) functioned at the Komi State Pedagogical Institute to train teachers of an incomplete secondary school. Since 1935, the structure of the institute has changed, on the basis of three departments, four faculties were created: physics and mathematics, natural sciences, philology (language and literature) and history. In 1936, in addition to full-time, a correspondence department was also opened. In 1938, the first academic building was built for the institute, and in 1965, the second. From 1936 to 1941, about eight hundred teachers graduated from the walls of the institute to educational institutions of the Komi ASSR. In 1981, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR "for achievements in training" the Komi State Pedagogical Institute was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor. For the period from 1990 to 2014, the Institute had full-time and part-time departments, eight faculties: Geography and Biology, Philology, Foreign Languages, Physics and Mathematics, Pedagogy and Methods of Primary Education, Technology and Entrepreneurship, Additional Teaching Professions, Additional Professional Education, seven general institute departments: pedagogy, sociology and political science, philosophy, history and economic theory, general psychology, physical education and foreign languages. More than three thousand nine hundred students were trained at the correspondence and full-time departments.

From 1932 to 2014, the institute trained about thirty thousand highly qualified specialist teachers, of which more than one thousand two hundred were subsequently awarded the honorary title of Honored Teachers of the Republican and All-Union (All-Russian) level. On 14 February 2013, by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, as a result of the reorganization of the Komi State Pedagogical Institute, it was merged with Syktyvkar State University.

This is a list of all managers of Al-Duhail SC. Current coach Luís Castro took over for Sabri Lamouchi on 10 August 2021. Background In the summer of 2010, Djamel Belmadi was appointed as the head coach of newly promoted Qatar Stars League club Lekhwiya. In his first season with the club, he led them to the 2010–11 Qatar Stars League title for the first time in the club's history. He also led them to the final of the 2010 Sheikh Jassem Cup, where they lost to Al Arabi. For the second time, Lekhwiya won the 2011–12 Qatar Stars League title, under the management of Belmadi. He resigned on 8 October 2012 after a bad start of the 2012–13 season. On 30 June 2014, Michael Laudrup became the new manager of Qatar Stars League champions Lekhwiya after signing a one-year deal. Laudrup guided the Lekhwiya to a club-record Qatar Stars League and a Crown Prince Cup double in his first season. The club also qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2015 AFC Champions League during his reign. On 17 June 2015, Laudrup announced that he would not extend his contract, departing the club. On June 19, 2015, marks Belmadi's return to Lekhwiya. He replaces the former Danish international Michael Laudrup. During this transition season for Lekhwiya, on the national level (fourth in the league), the club is a finalist for the Crown Prince Cup but loses against El Jaish SC. The club won the Sheikh Jassim Cup that year, against Al Sadd SC, then the Qatar Cup against the same opponent but after extra time. This last victory allows him to qualify for the 2017 AFC Champions League. For the 2016–17 season, Lekhwiya therefore participates in the Champions League. Lekwiya was eliminated by Iranian club Persepolis in the round of 16. The club retained the Sheikh Jassim Cup against Al-Rayyan SC and then won the Qatar Stars League with a single defeat. 2017–18 will be Djamel Belmadi's last season. Within his club which changed its name to become Al-Duhail, he achieved a full house in the group stage of the 2018 AFC Champions League by winning all his matches in his group. His team will be eliminated in the Quarter-finals by Persepolis. Belmadi is again champion of Qatar (his team ends the season undefeated). He won two national cups (the Emir of Qatar Cup and the Crown Prince Cup). During these three years spent at Al-Duhail, Belmadi won 7 trophies out of a possible 12 and arrived 4 times as a finalist in national cups. After a long discussion with the leaders of Al-Duhail, Belmadi left the club and was replaced by Nabil Maâloul to be the new coach of Al-Duhail SC. He was also sacked after six months of coaching due to the club's unsuccessful performances in both national league and AFC Champions League. In October 2020, Sabri Lamouchi was appointed manager of Qatari side Al-Duhail. After 295 days in charge, Lamouchi decided to step down as manager of Al-Duhail.

Shajiabang (Chinese: 沙家浜, also Shachiapang); first produced under the title Sparks Amid the Reeds, is a Chinese revolutionary opera and one of the eight "model plays" permitted during the Cultural Revolution. Production It was first produced as a Shanghai opera entitled Sparks amid the Reeds (芦荡火种) or Emerald Water and Red Flags in 1958 by the Hu Opera Troupe. In October 1963, the First Peking Opera Company adapted it as a Peking opera. Mao Zedong saw it in 1964 and asked that the title be changed, as sparks would not set wet reeds alight, so it was named after its setting, the town of Shajiabang ("sands family creek"). Jiang Qing (Mao's wife, a leading figure in the Cultural Revolution), insisted that the role of the Red Army political commissar be expanded.

Kolashanpan is a carbonated beverage created by Embotelladora La Cascada S.A. It comes in either a glass bottle, plastic bottle, and a can, the most prominent of these is plastic. On their company webpage the sizes go from a small bottle of 6.5 ounces to a 3 liter bottle, at least for the ones bottled in plastic..

Advertising There was an advertisement that played in El Salvador that ties the beverage with being a Salvadorean. The video itself aired in 1984 and it shows people working in the fields, with animals, people carrying items, selling in a market, and making tortillas. The video ends by saying "Kolashanpan, el sabor de El Salvador." Cultural Impacts According to a dissertation, Kolashanpan helps Salvadoreans maintain, "a transnational community identity as well as a salvadoreño(americano) ethnic identity." Brock says that, in Houston there are many Salvadoreans and Salvadorean-Americans and that keeping items such as sodas from their native country, they can more easily adjust to living in Houston, as well as keeping in touch with their native roots. On the company website, they have five distribution centers in, Texas, Connecticut, California, New York, and Florida. References Carbonated drinks

The Baker Bridge train wreck occurred on November 26, 1905, in Lincoln, Massachusetts when two passenger trains on the Fitchburg line of the Boston and Maine Railroad were involved in a rear-end collision. 17 people were killed in the wreck. Engineer Horace W. Lyons was charged with manslaughter, however a grand jury chose not to indict him. Collision At 7:16 pm, the Marlborough local train comprising one engine, one combination car, and three coaches left Boston's North Station on the Fitchburg line. At 7:45 pm, the Montreal express with two engines, two milk cars, two baggage cars, a mail car, a Pullman car, a smoker, and two coaches departed North Station on the same track as the Marlborough local. The express was to reduce its speed until Lincoln, where the two trains would be five minutes apart from each other. The Marlborough train lost time around Waltham and by the time it reached Baker Bridge station it was 2 ½ to 4 minutes late. The rear brakeman threw down two red fusees to let the oncoming Montreal express that their train was stopped. A green spacing signal was also displayed at the Great Road crossing, over a half-mile from the station. Horace W. Lyons, the engineer of the first locomotive of the Montreal express, stated that he saw the fusees and the spacing signals and knew what they meant. He claimed to shut off his steam and eased on his brakes to reduce speed, however the engineer of the express' second locomotive claimed that Lyons never applied the brakes. Lyons' fireman was killed in the wreck so he could not corroborate or dispute Lyons' version of events. At 8:15 pm, the Montreal express, traveling an estimated 25 miles per hour, collided into the back of the Marlborough train. The three rear cars of the Marlborough local were telescoped. Passengers were pinned under debris of the wrecked cars and what was left of the cars caught fire. Many of those who died were not found in the debris, but rather under the locomotives that pulled the Montreal train. Survivors were treated at the scene by physicians from Waltham, Massachusetts, but, because there were insufficient local facilities to handle the disaster, passengers of the wrecked train were transported by train to Boston. During the trip, William H. Roberts, a spare train conductor, assisted in the identification of the deceased by looking through their personal effects. Upon arriving in the city, survivors were treated by surgeons from Massachusetts General Hospital and the deceased were brought to city morgues for a more thorough examination. 15 passengers and two railroad employees were killed and 32 passengers and one railroad employee were injured in the wreck. Horace W. Lyons Lyons was a 37 year old native of Old Orchard Beach, Maine then residing in Charlestown. He was hired as a fireman by the Fitchburg Railroad in 1898 and was kept on when the railroad was acquired by the Boston and Maine Corporation. In 1904 he passed his examination to become an engineer. Due to his lack of seniority, Lyons was not assigned his own train and worked as a spare engineer. Prior to the collision, Lyons had a fine record as a fireman and engineer. Investigations B&M investigation Lyons told a Boston and Maine representative that he had observed two cautionary block signals and two red-fire fusees that had been thrown by the brakeman of the local train, but by the time he reacted he was already upon the rear of the train. Witnesses testified that the brakeman had thrown the fusees and the burned out fusees were found near the tracks. Thomas F. McHugh, the station operator, stated that after the local train had left he hung a signal lantern out to notify passing trains that another train had just left the station. On November 27, Boston and Maine President Lucius Tuttle released a statement stating that the primary cause of the accident was Lyons' failure to heed cautionary signals. Keyes inquest On November 29, Judge John S. Keyes of the Concord District Court held an inquest into the accident. The 3 hour inquest saw testimony from 31 witnesses and evidence gathered by detectives from the Massachusetts State Police. Keyes chose to make the inquest private and reporters were not allowed in the courtroom. The inquest concluded that Lyons was at fault for the crash and he was charged with manslaughter. Grand jury investigation The case was brought before a grand jury which found that Lyons "was greatly at fault in not slowing down sufficiently, and for disregarding the cautionary green lights...[and] for disregarding the red fusees", but chose not to indict him. The grand jury's report criticized the Boston and Maine Railroad's operating rules, which allowed an engineer to run his train as close to another train as he wanted and did not clearly assign the rear brakeman the duty of flagging oncoming trains when his train was stopped at a station. The jury also found B&M's system of signals to be inadequate, as it did not indicate that the stopped train was less than five minutes ahead and none of the signals required the oncoming train to fully stop. B&M's policy of assigning inexperienced engineers to express trains was criticized as well. The jury faulted B&M's working conditions, finding that they should not have permitted its engineers to work for 16 to 18 hours a day for five consecutive days. The grand jury also faulted the crew of the local train for overrunning Baker Bridge station in such a way that it made it difficult for an oncoming train to see its rear lights and for not sending a flagman to stop the Montreal express. Railroad commission report The Massachusetts Railroad Commission held a public inquiry into the wreck. The commission's report stated that Lyons had seen at least one of the fusees as well as the spacing signal and failed in his duties by disregarding rules that required him to slow down. It also found that the railroad rules were too "uncertain and inconsistent" and "left too much discretion and responsibility with the train hands". Two rules the commission criticized were Rule 99, which required a flagman to deliver a danger signal if a train may be overtaken but in practice was only used if "something out of the usual course...had occurred" and Rule 703 which read that "Enginemen must never run past a red signal displayed on the track" but in practice did not apply to red fusees. The commission recommended having trains stop, then proceed with caution upon seeing a fusee or spacing signal, a rule that had previously existed on the Fitchburg line but had been done away with. The commission also recommended that the state legislature require railroads and street railways where trains or cars followed each other in quick succession to implement a signalling block system. Aftermath Lyons spent many years in the employ of the Boston Elevated Railway. He died in Boston on October 30, 1949, at the age of 81. He was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Saco, Maine.

Singleton Station is a pastoral lease in Central Australia, in the Northern Territory of Australia. History Singleton Station is located on the traditional lands of the Kaytetye people, located 400 kilometres north of Mparntwe/Alice Springs, near the community of Ali Curung. It is now a 294,000 hectare pastoral property. The pastoral lease has been held by Fortune Agribusiness since 2016. Water license controversy In September 2020, Fortune Agribusiness applied to the Northern Territory Government for a licence to use the groundwater to develop one of Australia's largest fruit and vegetable farms over 3500-hectares of Singleton Station at a cost of $150 million. In April 2021, the Northern Territory Government issued the 40,000 megalitre license, the largest ever groundwater extraction licence ever granted in the Northern Territory. Traditional Owners of the area opposed the project based on the risks to water supplies and the 29 sacred cultural sites within the drawdown area. These concerns led to a formal review process but the license was regranted in November 2021 with additional conditions. In February 2022, the Central Land Council and the Arid Lands Environment Centre announced it had served claims against the Northern Territory Government and Fortune Agribusiness on the basis that Environment Minister Eva Lawler made a number of legal errors in approving the licence.

Jacob Kornbluh is a reporter. Career After moving to New York City, Kornbluh worked at a deli counter and hardware store, later owning a pizza shop while on the side he blogged and did videography. After seeing considerable response to his publications, Kornbluh decided to move fully into journalism. Kornbluh has written for many local New York publications. In 2018 he was aggregating content for the Jewish Insider newsletter. He started at Yeshiva World News, moved to the website JP Updates, joined Jewish Insider in 2015. In January 2021, he left to join the Forward as Senior Political Correspondent. His beats were expected to include coverage of the early Biden administration, of local New York City elections, and of the results of Israel's upcoming national election. Kornbluh uses Twitter in his reportage. He was included in the JTA's 2018 list of fifty Jewish twitter users. Armin Rosen included him in a 2016 Tablet article listing recommended Jewish Twitter users. At that time, Kornbluh had around 6600 followers on the site. In 2013, Kornbluh posted a video of Democratic mayoral candidate Anthony D. Weiner engaging in a shouting match after being insulted by another customer at a Boroughs Park bakery. This video went viral. In 2013 the New York Times editorial board highlighted a video taken by Kornbluh of Rudy Giuliani. Responses to coronavirus coverage Kornbluh produced considerable reportage on the reaction of the New York Orthodox Jewish community's reactions to the coronavirus pandemic. This included coverage of the refusal of some parts of this community to follow public health guidelines such as social distancing and masking. This led attacks against Kornbluh. On October 8, 2020, Kornbluh attended and covered the second day of a Brooklyn, New York protest where members of the Orthodox Jewish community expressed opposition to new COVID-19 restrictions. Minor fires were set, masks were burned, and Kornbluh was attacked. Heshy Tischler, an anti-lockdown radio host, told protesters to yell at Kornbluh. Tischler was taken into custody for inciting a riot against Kornbluh. After Tischler's arrest that Sunday, a group of young men arrived at Kornbluh's home. They shouted, calling Kornbluh a snitch and an informer. They stood on Kornbluh's doorstep, a line of police officers keeping them away from the house. On the next day, Monday, Jewish Democratic Council of America executive director Halie Soifer and Republican Jewish Coalition head Matt Brooks issued a joint statement condemning the attacks on Kornbluh. Personal life Kornbluh was raised in London's Belzer Hasidic community. He attended a yeshiva in Israel at age 16 and moved to New York City four years later. Kornbluh lives in Borough Park.

Background Fenske was born November 26, 1858, in what was then "Doelitz" or "Dölitz" in the Kingdom of Prussia's Province of Pomerania, and is now officially Dolice, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. At the age of nine, he was brought with his parents as they emigrated to the United States, who settled first in Washington County, Wisconsin, then in late 1870 moved to Crawford County, Wisconsin, where they would live for many years.

Sadler's Birthday is the debut novel by novelist Rose Tremain, published in 1976. After six rejection slips Tremain was then advanced £350 for the novel by publisher Macdonald. As Tremain recalls at her age of 28: "Angus Wilson wrote a generous front-cover puff, and the novel was widely noticed and quietly praised...A refreshing little shower of success was suddenly falling on me". Plot Jack Sadler is 76 years old lives alone in a big neglected house in Norfolk, his only companion being a nameless dog. He reminisces about his life and ponders on his mortality. He spent the most of his life in the same house where his mother was a chambermaid. Jack then became a butler for the house's owners: the childless Colonel Basset and Madge. During the war an eleven-year boy called Tom was evacuated from London to live for five years at the house where Jack took him under his wing, where their relationship developed into love. After the war Tom returned to London with his mother, and Jack lost contact with Tom. Colonel and Madge were killed on their way to the the Queen's coronation that morning in London; Jack was then left the house and their inheritance... Reception Joyce Carol Oates writing in The New York Times praises the novel "a rather special work, a simple novel that dwells lovingly upon the details of simple lives without condescension or bitterness. In fact, one might wish for more emotion, for more anger. There are times when seems that the ideal English novel is an artifact of a certain number of cautious, well‐crafted pages that manage to offend no one, while stressing the oldest and most conservative of virtues‐stability, acceptance, stoicism, a sort of wry self‐deprecatory humour that translates into courage. Nevertheless Sadler's Birthday is well worth reading, and Rose Tremain a highly promising young novelist. Kirkus Reviews writes "Through flashbacks, which flicker off and on in random chronological order within his wavering consciousness, Jack's career is reconstructed...Prepare for a jolt when you stumble upstairs with Jack, in this most mellow of diversions discreetly laced with bitters" References 1976 British novels Novels set in Norfolk 1976 debut novels Pedophilia in literature

The Liberal Party (, PL) is a Brazilian conservative political party. From its foundation until 2019, it was called the Party of the Republic (, PR). The Liberal Party belongs to Centrão, an informal group of political parties that monetized their support in exchange for important positions for their members or subsidies for the electoral strongholds of their elected officials. Notable PL members include Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Tiririca, Romário, Marco Feliciano, Flávia Arruda, Valdemar Costa Neto, and Flávio Bolsonaro. History Party of the Republic was founded on October 26, 2006, by the merger of the old Liberal Party and the Party of the Reconstruction of the National Order (Partido da Reedificação da Ordem Nacional, PRONA). At the 2010 elections, PL focused on the parliamentary elections; it won 41 of the 513 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 4 of the 81 Senate seats. Sergio Victor Tamer, the PR's founder, was president from 2006-2014. Alfredo Nascimento succeeded Tamer as president of the PR until April 2016, when he resigned due to party leadership not supporting the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. However, 26 of the PR's MPs did vote for her impeachment. On 7 May 2019, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) voted to approve a motion of the party to change its name back to Liberal Party (PL). On November 30, 2021, President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro and his son Senator Flávio Bolsonaro joined the PL in preparation for the 2022 Brazilian general election (as presidential candidates must be affiliated with a political party). He had previously considered returning to the Progressistas, which he had been a member of from 1995–2003 and 2005–2016. Controversies Liberal Party leaders are frequently implicated in corruption cases. Its president, Valdemar Costa Neto, was convicted of corruption and money laundering in the Mensalão scandal. The party's vice president, Carlos "Bispo" Rodrigues, former transport minister Anderson Adauto and former party treasurer Jacinto Lodos, as well as several deputies and councillors, were also charged in the case. The Liberal Party caused controversy in 2020 by nominating an openly neo-Nazi activist as a candidate for the municipal elections in the city of Pomerode. References Political parties Brazil
Nalujuk Night is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Jennie Williams and released in 2021. The film documents the unique cultural tradition of "nalujuk night" among the Inuit people of Nunatsiavut. Essentially sort of a cross between Christmas and Hallowe'en, nalujuk night is an annual event in which community members dress up as nalujuit, mythical sea creatures, and go around the community on January 6 giving treats to children; "good" children get their treats right away, while "bad" children get "chased" by the creatures until they sing a song to earn their treats. Created as part of the National Film Board of Canada's Labrador Documentary Project to foster the creation of documentary films about Inuit culture from an Inuit perspective, the film premiered at the 2021 FIN Atlantic Film Festival. The film was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Short Documentary at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.

Christy F. Landes is an American physical chemist who is the Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Chair at Rice University. She seeks to understand the structure-function relationships in biological processes. She was appointed a National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow in 2019. Early life and education Landes was an undergraduate student in chemistry at George Mason University. She moved to Georgia Tech for her doctoral research, where she majored in physical chemistry under the supervision of Mostafa El-Sayed. After earning her doctorate, Landes joined the University of Oregon as a postdoctoral researcher, where she spent one year before joining the University of Texas at Austin. Research and career Landes joined the University of Houston at an assistant professor in 2006, and moved to Rice University in 2009. She was appointed Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Chair in 2021. Her early work considered super-resolution single molecule spectroscopy for the characterization of biomolecules. She has demonstrated that these approaches could be used to better understand cancer metastasis. She has also shown how silver ions disperse from the tips of gold-silver nanoparticle alloys, which may improve catalytic activity. Landes established the NSF Center for Adapting Flaws into Features (CAFF) in 2021. The center investigates the defects in silicon-based electronics that hold promise for improving device performance, explore the structural and optoelectronic processes that make these flaws influential, and realize technologies that incorporate and exploit these flaws. Landes was elected Chair of the Physical Chemistry Division in 2020.

Julianus is a genus of tree frogs in the family Hylidae. They are found in southeastern Brazil, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina. This genus is considered poorly defined and is regarded by most to merely be a synonym of Scinax. This genus is named after Julián Faivovich, who has contributed a notable amount of knowledge to the study of South American tree frogs. It was created because Scinax uruguayus differed from other Scinax in the larval oral disc morphology. More specifically, the tadpole has two keratinized and pigmented plates on the lower jaw sheath, along with the posterior marginal papillae being larger than the papillae on the lateral margins. The species Julianus pinimus was later added to this genus due to having similar features. However, other papers claim that these frogs are not distinct enough to be grouped into an entirely different genus and should be readded to Scinax. This is because many of the characteristics used to define this genus are shared by other members of Scinax as well. Species There are currently two species in Julianus:J. uruguayus is known from Treinta y Tres, Cerro Largo, and Tacuarembó in Uruguay, along with Santa Catarina, Brazil, and Corrientes, Argentina. It may also occur in parts of Paraguay, but this is unconfirmed. J. pinimus is only known from a single locality in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The International Medical Congress () was a series of international scientific conferences on medicine that took place, periodically, from 1867 until 1913. The idea of such a congress came in 1865, during the third annual Medical Congress of France; Professor Henri Giutrac proposed holding an international medical conference in 1867, taking advantage of the fact that physicians and surgeons from all over the world would surely be in Paris to attend that year's International Exhibition. The first congress was a great success; it enjoyed the patronage of the French Government, having been officially attended by Victor Duruy, Minister of Public Instruction, and had several honorary members selected from foreign diplomatic bodies and learned societies.
