"So Cold the Night" is a song by British duo the Communards released in November 1986 as the final single from their debut album Communards. It was the their second top-ten hit, peaking at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. Release and reception "So Cold the Night" was released with the B-side "When the Walls Come Tumbling Down", also written by the duo, and was dedicated to Nelson Mandela. The 12-inch single was released with the additional B-side "Never No More". A remix of "So Cold the Night" was released as a 12-inch single in December 1986. It was a double A-side single with "When the Walls Come Tumbling Down" and "The Multimix", a medley remix of "Don't Leave Me This Way", "So Cold the Night" and "Disenchanted". Reviewing for Record Mirror, Jane Wilkes wrote "clandestine meetings and hi-NRG Balkan folk music engage for this Somerville/Coles composition. Their cover versions have always maintained an ambiguity, whereas their own songs place you right in the picture regarding their sexual/political stance".

"Nail Tech" is a song by American rapper Jack Harlow, released on February 18, 2022, through labels Atlantic Records and Generation Now. The song was produced by Boi-1da, Rogét Chahayed, Jahaan Sweet, Coleman, Babetruth, and Fierce, and was additionally produced by American singer-songwriter John Mayer. Background Jack Harlow teased his new single, "Nail Tech", on February 10, 2022, followed by a clip of the music video for the track the day before its release. Lyrically, on this song, Harlow talks about the people who have doubted him before fame and also boasts about how he has achieved the position as a successful young artist. Jason Lipshutz of Billboard said that it "finds a similar balance of horn-inflected bravado and bass-heavy beats while Harlow never stumbles once while rapping about his material glow-up". American rapper Kanye West also gave Harlow a cosign for the song through an Instagram post, in which he posted a screenshot of the music video and wrote: "This nigga can raaaaaaap bro. And I'm saying nigga as a compliment Top 5 out right now". Harlow also reacted to the cosign by posting a screenshot of West's post and saying: "This right here...is one of the greatest moments of my entire life. Glad yvall all get front row seats to it...suddenly all the hate means nothing...imagine your hero saying this about you...I could cry". On the same day, Harlow also sat down for an interview with New Zealand DJ and music host Zane Lowe from Apple Music, in which he described "Nail Tech" as the start. He recalled producer Boi-1da playing the instrumental for him and told Lowe: "This is one of these ones. As soon as I heard it, these horns have something epic about them, but as soon as those kicks come in...", and "I went in the booth and I just laid a verse. And I remember, I went back to Atlanta a little while later and I played Don Cannon a bunch of my music just to show him where I was at. And I was playing stuff, and then at the very end, I played him this verse that was on 'Nail Tech.' He-s like, 'Yo, what is that?' I was like, 'Oh, you like that?' He was like, 'Yeah, you need to finish that.' So I got it together, man." Music video Harlow also released the music video for his new single on February 18, 2022. Starring City Girls rapper Yung Miami, Harlow and Yung Miami walk into a nail salon. The video was directed by both Harlow and Frank Borin.

Jacqueline Susan Ansell-Lamb (21 September 1951 – 14 March 1970) and Barbara Janet Mayo (c. March 1946 – 12 October 1970) were two young women who were murdered in separate incidents in 1970. Both women were last seen hitch-hiking along motorways in England, and both were raped before being strangled to death. Although the murders occurred seven months apart and a considerable distance from each other, investigators suspected both murders were committed by the same perpetrator. Links between the two murders are often erroneously reported to have been proven via DNA testing, and although detectives announced the women's murders were likely linked in 1990, a DNA profile was not isolated in either case until 1997, and only in the case of Mayo. Despite numerous public appeals for information and reconstructions, both murders remain unsolved. The perpetrator(s) of the murders of Ansell-Lamb and Mayo is sometimes referred to as the Monster of the Motorway or the Motorway Monster. Murders Ansell-Lamb Jacqueline "Jacqi" Ansell-Lamb was an 18-year-old secretary who worked in Manchester, and who was described as "very much a 60s teenager". On the weekend of 7–8 March 1970, she had spent time collecting belongings from her old house in London, and had attended a party in Earl's Court, where she met a young man. On Sunday, 8 March 1970, she attempted to hitch-hike back to Manchester from London. She had been given a lift by the man she had met at Earl's Court to one of the slip roads of the M1 motorway in London, where she intended to hitch a lift northwards. She then shared a lift with another man 50 miles up the M1 to Buckinghamshire. How she travelled further north from there wasn't known. Ansell-Lamb was reported missing on 9 March when she didn't turn up in Manchester. On the day she disappeared, she was wearing a blonde wig, false eyelashes, a dark blue coat and maroon shoes. She was carrying a Japan Airlines bag, because the initials of the company were the same as hers. The last place Ansell-Lamb was positively seen was at a transport café named the Opera Café at High Legh, just off Junction 20 of the M6 motorway near Warrington in Cheshire. Between 9pm and 10pm she was seen in the café in the company of a man. A number of witnesses sighted her there including a chef, Delia Brown, who said that a man came through the door, went up to Ansell-Lamb and then came to order two coffees. Brown said that she then saw him sitting with her talking. The man was described as smartly dressed in "business-like" clothing. The pair left together and she got into the man's car. It is believed the car may have been a white Jaguar. A final unconfirmed sighting of Ansell-Lamb put her thumbing for a lift on the A556 road, one mile from where her body was found. On 14 March, the partially clothed body of Ansell-Lamb was found by a ten-year-old boy and his father as they walked through woodland in Mere, Cheshire, just off the M6 motorway, near the café she was last seen at. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Her body had been posed. She had bruises and cuts on her neck and face which indicated she had fought with her attacker. Mayo Barbara Mayo was a 24-year-old schoolteacher who lived in Hammersmith, London. On 12 October 1970 she set off to hitch-hike to Catterick, North Yorkshire to pick up her boyfriend's car, which had broken down there. She did not turn up and two days after she left London her boyfriend reported her missing. She was last seen wearing a navy-blue coat, lilac jersey and gold and tan slacks. She was thought to have been carrying her red bag with her. Four days later a family out walking in an isolated wood just off the M1 motorway at Ault Hucknall near Chesterfield, Derbyshire discovered her partially clothed body under a pile of leaves. She had been raped, battered around the head and strangled to death with a length of flex. She was found next to a lovers' lane named Hodmire Lane. Despite a detailed search her bag containing her purse was not recovered and was never found. The media dubbed the killer of Mayo the "Monster of the Motorway" or the "Motorway Monster". The murder became infamous and was later described by investigating officers as being "well and truly ingrained into local folklore". Police investigations Initial inquiries A massive police hunt was launched by Cheshire Police after Ansell-Lamb's murder, involving 120 officers. Investigators soon determined that neither the man Ansell-Lamb had met in Earl's Court nor any of her any other male associates could have been responsible for the murder. As many fans of Manchester City were known to have travelled along the M6 from London to Manchester on the weekend on Ansell-Lamb's murder, investigators theorized her killer could have been one of these individuals. The brutal killing of Mayo led to what was described as Britain's "biggest ever motorway hunt". The investigation into her murder was led by Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Pollard from Scotland Yard, as Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire police had limited resources. 1,500 police officers quizzed more than 125,000 people on motorways and took nearly 50,000 statements. In an unprecedented move, police set up checkpoints across 150 miles of the M1 between London and Leeds to ask drivers if they had any information, although this was not done until two weeks after the murder. For a whole day every vehicle at every junction along the 150-mile length of the motorway was stopped and checked. Officers then launched a publicity campaign with posters pasted all over Britain. It was believed that some men who might have given lifts to female hitch-hikers at the time had not come forward because they did not want their wives to know, and police appealed to them by saying that their wives would not be told if they came forward with information. A reconstruction was broadcast on television a week after the motorway checkpoints were set up, covering Mayo's last known movements from her home in Hammersmith to the M1 motorway. The reconstruction led to 700 members of the public coming forward to say they had sighted Mayo. A significant sighting came from a man who said he was certain he had seen Mayo or a girl fitting her description at 4pm on 12 October, thumbing for a lift and then getting into a white Morris Traveller at Kimberley, Nottinghamshire. This was less than twenty miles from where she was found dead and was located just off Junction 26 of the M1 motorway. The witness said he had driven past her thumbing for a lift, not being able to pick her up as he had others in the car, and said that he saw in his rear-view mirror her being picked up by a Morris Traveller which he had seen parked nearby moments earlier. The driver was described as being between 30 and 35 years old, of medium build with mousy hair brushed forward. The witness said the vehicle followed behind him heading towards the M1, and after both cars joined the motorway he soon lost sight of the vehicle. Police believed the driver was her killer. At that time 100,000 Morris Travellers were on the road in Britain, and each owner had to be traced and eliminated. Each driver of Morris Travellers in the country was spoken to. Despite this, the driver of the Morris Traveller seen never came forward. Another notable witness who came forward after the reconstruction was a butcher from Kimberley who said that he thought she had come into his shop then walked down the hill towards the main road. No-one came forward to say they had given a lift to Mayo that day, which was unusual as someone had to have driven her out of London to Kimberley. Several 'courting couples' were known to have been in the area where Mayo was found at the time she was dumped there, but none of them came forward either. The records of 28,000 criminals were checked and 76,000 leads were looked into. Mayo was known to have caught the Tube from Hammersmith to Hendon and then had thumbed for a lift on the M1. It is believed 250,000 motorists were using the northbound carriageway on the M1 between the time Mayo left London and 14 October. At that time Mayo's murder inquiry was the largest investigation ever mounted by one police force in Britain. Media reports soon suggested a link between the murders of Ansell-Lamb and Mayo, noting their clear similarities. Investigators confirmed they were looking into the links. During the investigations a man claiming to be the killer sent a note to detectives saying that the Mayo murder would not be the last. "Yorkshire Ripper" theory investigated When "Yorkshire Ripper" Peter Sutcliffe began his murder spree in the 1970s, Derbyshire Constabulary investigated whether the killings could be linked to Mayo's murder. Upon being convicted of the Ripper murders in 1981 he was formally questioned in connection with her death. It was known he had owned a Morris Traveller and had travelled to and from London around October 1970. Sutcliffe was finally eliminated from the investigation in December 1997. Murder investigations linked By 1990, Cheshire Police and Derbyshire Police increasingly suspected that the murders of Ansell-Lamb and Mayo could be linked. In January 1991 the lead investigators on each murder case from the two forces appeared on a joint appeal on Crimewatch, saying that although they were by no means certain they were looking for one man, there were "striking similarities" between the cases. It was announced that Cheshire and Derbyshire Police had decided to combine forces in an attempt to solve the two cases. A number of women came forward after the appeals to say they had been sexually assaulted in the same area where Mayo was last seen shortly before or after her murder. The lead investigator on the Ansell-Lamb murder case revealed on Crimewatch that forensic scientists had recovered several pieces of carpet fibre from Ansell-Lamb's body, believed to have come from a carpet roll or a carpet sample. On the weekend she was murdered there had been a carpet exhibition at Earl's Court in London. It was also noted that the man she was last seen with was described as a rep or a salesman, and that it was the investigator's belief that the murderer had some connections to the carpet industry. DNA profile isolated from Mayo's clothing In 1997, Derbyshire Police obtained a DNA profile of the killer of Mayo from her clothing. Police attempted to trace all of the 250 original suspects for DNA testing, in order to see if their profiles matched. By 2009 all but a 'handful' had been located and eliminated. It was this DNA testing that also allowed detectives to eliminate Peter Sutcliffe from the investigation. 200,000 DNA profiles then on the national DNA database were quickly eliminated from the inquiry, and 9,000 samples taken from serving prisoners were also examined, but none matched the killer's profile. Police were hopeful that the recent DNA developments would soon help them solve Mayo's murder. Detectives were also hopeful of DNA advances assisting the Ansell-Lamb inquiry and in determining whether the two women had been killed by the same man. A Derbyshire Police spokesperson stated: "Should a test be successful and find matching DNA, we would have a serial killer investigation that would get huge". However, in 1997 Cheshire Police revealed they had not at that point been able to isolate a DNA profile from Ansell-Lamb's garments. In August 2001 detectives from Derbyshire Police made a televised appeal for information on a 90-minute programme titled Britain's Ten Most Wanted Murderers. Multiple sources state that Ansell-Lamb and Mayo's murder were conclusively linked through DNA in 1990. However, this is inaccurate, as although detectives concluded the two murders were likely (although not certainly) linked in 1990, no DNA profiles were isolated in the murder investigations until 1997, when the DNA profile was isolated from Mayo's clothing. Cheshire Police revealed at that time that they had not at that point managed to discover any DNA on Ansell-Lamb's clothing. In 2020, the former boyfriend of Mayo revealed that, despite the reports, investigators never extracted a DNA profile in the Ansell-Lamb case. He said that the claims that one had been originally came from a Reuters report that erroneously assumed that a DNA match had been made when police announced in 1990 that they believed the murders were likely linked. However, he added that while the 1990 reinvestigation did not prove a DNA link between the two women's murders, it did establish that other forensic evidence linked the murders. Subsequent developments and theories In the late 2000s, police investigated whether serial killer Peter Tobin could have committed the murders, as he had just been convicted of the murders of three young women, including that of a hitch-hiking girl he had picked up and killed in 1991. However, police eliminated him from their enquiries. Criminologist David Wilson stated in a book on Tobin in 2010 that he was unlikely to be responsible and could be ruled out as a suspect by DNA, and that the DNA samples from the two murders had already been cross-referenced to Tobin's profile. In 2008, a reclusive man who had just died was found to have newspaper clippings regarding Ansell-Lamb's murder hidden in his house alongside a confession to the murder of another woman, 19-year-old Lorraine Jacob, who had been killed in Liverpool in September 1970. The man had previously lived in London, Manchester, Bolton and Wigan before he had died of cancer. Investigators said there was no evidence linking him to Ansell-Lamb or Mayo's murder. They pointed out that the man had no access to a car and never had a driving licence. In 2009, crime writer Scott Lomax revealed in a book he published about unsolved murders that Manchester City were playing in London at the time of Mayo's murder, just as in Ansell-Lamb's case, and that police had never investigated whether the killer could again have been returning from the football match in London when he came across Mayo on the M1. In 2015, crime writers Chris Clark and Tim Tate published a book in which they claimed that Ansell-Lamb and Mayo's murders could be linked to Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe. However, he had previously been ruled out by investigators in 1997 through DNA. In 2019, Don Hale, the journalist behind a campaign to free a man he believed to be wrongly imprisoned for the 1973 murder of Wendy Sewell, claimed in a book that Sewell's murder could be linked to Mayo's. He claimed that Mayo and Sewell looked similar and said their murders had been committed nearby. However, other writers have said there is very little evidence to suggest the murders are linked. The man whose release Hale successfully campaigned for in the Sewell case, Stephen Downing, remains the police's only suspect in the murder of Wendy Sewell. In 2003 Derbyshire Police stated after a reinvestigation of the murder that had the rules on double jeopardy been different, they would have re-charged Downing. Both Hale and Clark continue to regularly make claims in the media that either Sutcliffe or the killer of Wendy Sewell was responsible for Ansell-Lamb and Mayo's deaths, or that that they are one and the same. Investigators continue to regularly appeal for information on the murders of Ansell-Lamb and Mayo. The building where Ansell-Lamb was last seen is now Lymm Truckstop.

The 12th (Service) Battalion, Manchester Regiment, was a unit of 'Kitchener's Army' formed immediately after the outbreak of World War I. It saw action in the Ypres Salient in 1915–16, on the Somme in 1916, including actions at Mametz Wood and the Battle of Delville Wood, and in the Arras Offensive. It was then amalgamated with the dismounted cavalry of the Manchester-based Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry (DLOY) to become the 12th (DLOY) Battalion, Manchester Regiment. It continued serving on the Western Front until the Armistice with Germany, including the Battle of Passchendaele, the German Spring Offensive and the final Allied Hundred Days Offensive. 12th (Service) Battalion Recruitment On 6 August 1914, less than 48 hours after Britain's declaration of war, Parliament sanctioned an increase of 500,000 men for the Regular British Army, and the newly appointed Secretary of State for War, Earl Kitchener of Khartoum issued his famous call to arms: 'Your King and Country Need You', urging the first 100,000 volunteers to come forward. This group of six divisions with supporting arms became known as Kitchener's First New Army, or 'K1'. A flood of volunteers poured into the recruiting offices across the country and were formed into 'Service' battalions of the county regiments. So many came forward that the 'K1' battalions were quickly filled and the recruitment of 'K2' units was authorised on 11 September. The Manchester Regiment's K2 battalion was raised in September and officially became the 12th (Service) Battalion at Ladysmith Barracks, Ashton-under-Lyne, on 7 October 1914. Training The battalion was assigned to 52nd Brigade of 17th (Northern) Division, which was assembling round Wareham, Dorset. 12th Battalion was billeted at Wool. For some time no uniforms were available for the men, and even blankets were scarce in the improvised billets and in the tented camps erected in October. That month some old uniforms were supplied, and the men paraded in peacetime red coats with civilian headgear and overcoats. For months there were only a few drill-pattern rifles with which to train, and machine guns had to be represented by dummy guns. The onset of winter weather in November drove the brigade into hastily erected huts at Bovington Camp outside Wool. However, before the end of 1914 the infantry were equipped with old pattern magazine Lee–Enfield rifles and a 'generous' supply of ammunition allowed elementary musketry training to begin. In December 52nd Bde moved to Wimborne, then back to Wool in March 1915. In that month the division received a limited issue of Short Magazine Lee–Enfield Mk III service rifles and new leather equipment. Between 27 May and 1 June the division marched to Flowerdown outside Winchester, with 12th Manchesters at Hursley Park. The division underwent final intensive battle training at Flowerdown. On 5 July the division was informed that it would be retained in England for some time on home defence. However, this was rescinded at midnight the same day and it was ordered to embark for the Western Front from 12 July. Mobilisation was completed and the advance parties left for the front. 12th Manchesters entrained at Winchester on 15 July and embarked at Folkestone at midnight. It landed at Boulogne next day with a strength of 30 officers and 945 other ranks (ORs) under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel E.G. Harrison, and marched to join the division, which was concentrating south of Saint-Omer. Ypres 17th (Northern) Division moved up to the front on 19 July and joined V Corps under Second Army in the Ypres Salient. The battalions were then sent into the line for instruction in Trench warfare. On 23 July 12th Manchesters was attached by platoons to the Liverpool Scottish serving with 3rd Division. On 30 July the battalion marched to White Chateau and bivouacked before taking over its own section of the line near Hooge on the night of 1/2 August. Sporadic fighting had been going on for some weeks round the ruins of Hooge Chateau. After a few quiet days the battalion began digging a trench in front of its parapet and its own barbed wire. This was part of a diversion by 17th (N) Division created a diversion for an attack by 6th Division on 9 August. The new trenches in front and behind the line looked like jumping-off trenches and assembly trenches. These obvious preparations drew German artillery fire onto the division's own front and communication trenches. 6th Division's limited attack was notably well planned and executed, recapturing the big Hooge Crater and the stables of the chateau. The battalion settled down to the routine of spells in the front line alternating with reserve positions, providing working parties, and occasional trench raids, such as one carried out by 12th Manchesters n 'Gravel Farm' on 17 September. 17th (N) Division was not engaged in any major actions for the rest of the year. On 14 February 1916 the division was holding the line astride the Ypres–Comines Canal including 'The Bluff', a spoilheap left after the construction of the canal that provided the best observation post in the area. A German attack captured the Bluff, while 12th Manchesters south of the canal came under heavy bombardment, leading to the cancellation of a planned relief that night. Next day A Company moved into a redoubt in the British line, where they suffered heavy casualties from shellfire. The battalion was finally relieved on 20/21 February; it was still in the rest camp when the rest of the division took part in a set-piece attack that recovered the Bluff. In late March the division moved south to the Armentières sector, with 12th Mancehsters moving into the front line on 22 March. The German artillery was very active in this area. In mid-May 12 Manchesters introduced the 2nd Battalion Otago Regiment of the newly arrived New Zealand Division to the sector before handing over to them. On 15 May 12th Manchesters marched out to the Zudausques training area behind the lines, where it spent the next month. Somme The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was preparing for that summer's 'Big Push' (the Battle of the Somme), and 17th (N) Division was sent to join the newly formed XV Corps for this offensive. 12th Manchesters entrained at Saint-Omer for Amiens on 12 June and then marched to Poulainville where it resumed training. On 27 June the battalion left its billets and marched to Heilly, moving into the Bois des Tailles on the night of 30 June. When the assault was launched next day 17th (N) Division was in reserve and 52nd Bde was not involved in the disastrous First day on the Somme. Next day the battalion 'stood to' at 15 minutes' notice, while 17th (N) Division occupied Fricourt without fighting. On the night of 3/4 July the battalion took over captured German trenches beyond the village and next morning supported the brigades' successful attack on Quadrangle Trench. On 7 July the division was ordered to advance about over open ground to take Quadrangle Support Trench. The attack was launched in the dark, but the Germans were ready and the leading battalions of 52nd Bde were thrown back. At 07.25 the 12th Manchesters and 9th Bn Duke of Wellington's Regiment were ordered to make a second attempt at 08.00 when the neighbouring formations made their main attack. With so little warning the attack began late and the protective artillery barrage lifted before the troops reached the enemy line. Machine gun fire from Mametz Wood cut down most of the first (B and D Companies) and second wave (C Company). As the Official History relates, 'in broad daylight the two battalions had no chance of reaching Quadrangle Support over bare and open ground'. Lieutenant-Col Harrison was wounded while superintending the withdrawal of the survivors. The battalion lost 15 officers and 539 ORs killed, wounded and missing (many of the wounded being captured). 12th Manchesters were relieved and sent by rail to Oissy to reorganise and refit. Major P.M. Magnay arrived to take command, together with large drafts of reinforcements. On 23 July the battalion moved back to bivouac near Albert as part of XV Corps' reserve. It rejoined 52nd Bde on 1 August, moving into brigade support in the old German second line trenches between Longueval and Bazentin-le-Petit. As part of the Battle of Delville Wood, 52nd Bde was ordered to attack Orchard Trench (running into the wood) at 00.40 on 4 August. 12th Manchesters and 9th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers led. The field artillery laid down an intense 5-minute barrage before Zero hour, but the German artillery caught the attackers with high explosive and gas shells and their machine guns opened up. Communications were cut, and it was not until 04.35 that Divisional HQ learned of the failure of the attack and the heavy casualties incurred. (The battalion's casualties for August were five officers and 169 ORs.) Once again the battalion was withdrawn into reserve and went to Carnoy to reorganise. It provided some working parties and did some trench holding, but on 11 August was pulled out and sent to Souastre. By the end of the month it was trench-holding in a quiet sector. At the end of September it began intensive training and returned to the frontline trenches near Le Transloy on 30 October, where part of the division captured Zenith Trench on 2 November. In places the trenches were waist-deep in mud and suffered from sporadic German shelling. The offensive came to an end and 17th (N) Division was relieved in mid-November. 12th Manchesters went to Saisseval for rest and training. 12th Manchesters returned to the front in December, first in reserve at Guillemont, then holding the frontline trenches on the Ancre Heights from 25 December. There were some operations along the Ancre in early 1917, and 8 February 52nd Bde captured a trench overlooking Sailly-Saillisel. 12th Manchesters provided carrying parties (A Company) and garrisons for captured strongpoints (B Company) as counter-attacks were beaten off. The battalion suffered 54 casualties. Arras 17th (N) Division spent the whole of March in reserve and training. It was transferred to Third Army for the forthcoming Battle of Arras, assigned to the Cavalry Corps for exploitation of any success. The battle began on 9 April and 12th Manchesters marched into billets in Arras that evening. As the fighting continued, 17th (N) Division was released to VI Corps on 11 April and it moved into the line, 12th Manchesters being in the divisional support trenches. On 13 April the battalion's trenches were heavily shelled and Lt-Col Magnay, the adjutant, the medical officer, and 14 other officers and ORs were wounded; Captain A.J. Moorhouse assumed command. The battalion remained in brigade reserve and constructing trenches on Orange Hill while the division waited to play its part in the fighting. The offensive was renewed on 23 April (the Second Battle of the Scarpe) and on the evening of 24 April 12th Manchesters took over the line north of Monchy Chateau Wood. At 03.30 next morning the battalion made a surprise attack on Rifle Trench, about away. The attack was made on a three-company front, with 9th West Riding Regiment cooperating. The enemy machine gunners detected the advance and opened up, but by 03.45 the battalion had taken the trench except at the right, where two platoons were held up short by a German strongpoint. These two platoons held out in shellholes all day until they ran out of ammunition and had lost three-quarters of their number. They then withdrew at dusk and C Company in support dug a strongpoint to guard that flank. Although the artillery response to SOS calls kept off German counter-attacks, 9th West Ridings had failed and 12th Manchesters had both flanks 'in the air'. It was relieved that night having lost 6 officers and 120 ORs. The battalion went by train to Sus-Saint-Léger for rest and reorganisation. Major E.G.S Truell arrived to take command and was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. On 3 May the division moved into XVII Corps reserve, with 52nd Bde as divisional reserve. 12th Manchesters provided digging parties, then moved into the front line on 9 May. It was in support when the rest of 52nd Bde made an unsuccessful attack on 12 May, then held the front line for a few days. It had just been relieved in 16 May when the Germans put in a major attack from the chemical works at Rœux and it was called forward again. However, the attack was beaten off, and the battalion was not needed. The Arras offensive was now effectively over. The battalion settled into the routine of trench-holding, patrolling, and providing working parties for the Royal Engineers (RE). There was a steady trickle of casualties from shellfire: on 26 June Maj A.J. Moorhouse, temporarily commanding the battalion again, was wounded and replaced by Maj G.L. Torrens of 10th Lancashire Fusiliers until Lt-Col Truell returned. Later Lt-Col T.W. Bullock took command. After several practices behind the lines, 12th Manchesters put in a large raid on 8 September against two opposing German trenches south of Gavrelle. Each company contributed 2 officers and 50 ORs. The divisional artillery provided a Box barrage and in conjunction with 93rd Field Company, RE, the raiders destroyed dugouts, machine guns and trench mortars. Although the raid was only partially successful (one trench could not be entered), it secured some prisoners as well. On 22 September the battalion marched to XVII Corps' rest camp at Hauteville. 12th (Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry) Battalion At Hauteville the battalion was reorganised. During the summer a number of Corps Cavalry Regiments had been disbanded and their men sent for infantry training. On 24 September a draft of 7 officers and 125 ORs from Regimental Headquarters, C and D Squadrons, 1/1st Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry (DLOY) joined 12th (Service) Bn, which was redesignated 12th (Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry) Battalion, Manchester Regiment. (Shortly after the outbreak of war the Manchester-based 1/1st DLOY of the Territorial Force had been broken up to form divisional cavalry squadrons. In 1916 those squadrons serving on the Western Front had rejoined in III Corps Cavalry Regiment). After absorbing this draft, the battalion moved to Brévillers and began training for its next operation. 17th (N) Division was sent to take part in the Third Ypres Offensive and on 4 October 12 (DLOY) Battalion entrained for the Salient, where it resumed training. Passchendaele The Ypres offensive had already been in progress for two-and-a-half months when 17th (N) Division joined XIV Corps for the Second Battle of Passchendaele on 12 October. By now the mud was very bad, resulting in ragged artillery barrages fired from unsteady platforms, and painfully slow infantry advances. However, on this occasion 17th (N) Division was lucky: the supporting barrage was effective and the opposing Germans 'were in no mood' to face it. The division gained much of its objective despite the mud and casualties from snipers; 12th (DLOY) Bn spent most of the day in reserve. On 16/17 October it was relieved and went to Parroy Camp. The rear areas were raided nightly by German bombers, and the battalion suffered some casualties. On 9 November, during the Second Battle of Passchendaele, the battalion re-entered the front line between 'Turenne Crossing' and 'Gravel Farm' at the Watervlietbeek stream. There were numerous casualties during the evening relief, with a heavy shell hitting C Company HQ and all the officers and HQ staff becoming casualties. Shortly after midnight the enemy put down a heavy barrage on Gravel Farm and rushed it: the whole of No 9 Platoon were killed or captured. A sergeant led No 12 Platoon in a counter-attack, but it failed to retake the farm. There was heavy enemy shelling at intervals during the day, with numerous German aircraft over the battlefield signalling the British positions with flares. At midnight a platoon each from A and D Companies attacked Gravel Farm with help from additional Lewis guns which were used to stiffen C Company's fire (many of the rifles were choked with mud) and to act as a feint. By mistake the covering artillery barrage was fired an hour early, and the attack failed. Enemy observation aircraft were active again on 11 November and the shelling continued. That night the battalion was moved back to the support positions, with two companies of 9th West Ridings attached in case a counter-attack was required, but the support line was heavily shelled with gas. During 12 and 13 November the German aircraft were again active, calling down shellfire, dropping bombs and machine-gunning the narrow duckboard tracks which were the only routes across the mud. On 14 November the battalion was pulled out to Dragon Camp, where numerous case of Trench foot were reported as a consequence of the men having been standing for days in waterlogged trenches. The offensive had ended. 12th (DLOY) Battalion resumed training at the camps behind the line, providing working parties for the artillery, and the battalion did one short spell in the support line. However, the camps were still under intermittent shellfire and air attack: on 29 November a lance-corporal on anti-aircraft duty shot down a German aircraft. On 28 November Lt-Col Truell returned to command the battalion. On 3 December 17 (N) Division moved further back to Louches, but was still at 12 hours' notice to move it required. Then on 15 December it entrained for Third Army, going first into camp near Achiet-le-Petit, then at Rocquigny. On 21 December it relieved 59th (2nd North Midland) Division in V Corps' line in the Flesquières Salient, where the Battle of Cambrai had recently ended. 12th (DLOY) Battalion was in the captured Hindenburg Line support trenches, where it spent time reversing the firesteps, moving the barbed wire to the side facing the enemy and providing working parties for 256th Tunnelling Company, RE, which was re-opening deep German dugouts. Spring Offensive It was recognised that the Flesquières Salient would be vulnerable when the Germans launched their anticipated Spring Offensive, so most of the salient was in the lightly defended 'Forward Zone' while the main defences of the 'Battle Zone' were drawn across its base. 17th (N) Division continued working on its defences and protective patrols were placed in No man's land every night. In fact the Germans had no intention of attacking this sector head-on; rather they would 'pinch out' the salient by attacking its 'shoulders'. For several days German artillery had shelled the salient with Mustard gas, but when the offensive began on 21 March the attacks against 17th (N) Division were restricted to heavy artillery fire and large raids, which were driven off. However, the German attacks further north had been successful and during the night 12th (DLOY) Bn was ordered to abandon the outposts and fall back on the defended village of Havrincourt. Before leaving, the CO and adjutant burned their HQ dugout with a tin of rum, and the battalion fell back as ordered. On 22 March the Germans launched a series of four attacks against the village from 18.35 to 20.30. The first attempt employed many grenades, but all the attacks were halted, the last when a field artillery brigade assisted the shooting of the defenders by laying a barrage on the attackers as they rose from the ground. German losses in this sector were heavy and they feared a counter-attack. The battalion's casualties during the day were 1 officer and about 30 ORs. However, breakthroughs to the north and south made the situation at Flesquières precarious. That night 17th (N) Division fell back through its Battle Zone: 12th (DLOY) Bn was ordered back to 'Yorkshire Spoil Heap' in the old British front line north of Havrincourt Wood. Next day the division was withdrawn to the 'Red Line' as V Corps retired to avoid the German 'pincers'. 12th (DLOY) Battalion was ordered back to Rocquigny and together with the rest of 52nd Bde it got away cleanly, covered by B Company and the 10th Lancashire Fusiliers, but the rest of the division had some hard fighting. The battalion occupied an old German trench running across the Bus–Rocquigny road, but was able to return to camp that night before manning the trench at 04.00. On 24 March, supported by some tanks, 52nd Bde held onto its positions at Rocquigny until 15.00 when the troops on either flank had retired, after which it fell back rapidly under shrapnel fire and joined up with 63rd (Royal Naval) Division at Martinpuich, having lost touch with 17th (N) Divisional HQ. Next morning the 'Great Retreat' continued across the old Somme battlefields: at one point just before dawn 12th (DLOY) Bn, led by the brigade commander, was marching down the Martinpuich–Courcelette with German troops marching in parallel about away on either flank. Thinking that V Corps was fleeing the Germans attacked in masses without artillery support and were shot down. However, this attack did not develop on 12th (DLOY) Bn's front, and the battalion was able to spend a quiet night at Fricourt. Early in the morning it was ordered to Henencourt, where 17th (N) Division was assembling in corps reserve. After arriving there, the battalion was loaned to 9th (Scottish) Division and twice (that evening and the following morning) was sent up to deal with reported enemy breakthroughs, but each time its patrols found the 9th in position and untroubled, so the battalion returned to billets at Henencourt. Later on 27 March the frontline divisions were relieved by fresh Australian troops and V Corps' retreat ended. It established a defence line along the River Ancre. From 21 to 31 March 12th (DLOY) Bn had lost 17 ORs killed, 10 officers and 102 ORs wounded, and 108 ORs missing. The battalion spent the next few weeks mainly in divisional reserve and training, occasionally being subjected to gas shelling. In April it received a draft of reinforcements, mainly from the 1/5th and 2/6th Manchesters from 66th (2nd East Lancashire) Division, which had been reduced to cadres. By June it was taking turns in the front line or supplying working parties to the front line battalions. Night raids were common along the line: on the night of 3/4 June B Company was shelled and a German raiding party approached but were driven off by artillery and machine gun fire responding to B Company's SOS flare. Hundred Days Offensive When the Allied Hundred Days Offensive was launched at the Battle of Amiens on 8 August, 17th (N) Division stood by in reserve behind the attacking Australian Corps but was not required. On 20 August it was transferred back to V Corps and was back in action from 23 August during the Second Battle of the Somme. On 24 August 52nd Brigade found that the brigade it was supporting had gone astray, and discovered the enemy still in place, so its attack on Courcelette had to be cancelled. Next day the brigade captured Martinpuich after 12th (DLOY) Bn encircled it from the south and 10th Bn Lancashire Fusiliers from the north. On 26 August the brigade was held up in front of High Wood until 12th (DLOY) Bn initiated another outflanking move from the south. The battalion's casualties over the two days were 5 officers and 47 ORs killed, 7 officers and 194 ORs wounded, one OR missing. Another attempt by the battalion at an outflanking move, against Le Transloy on 1 September, however, came to nothing when it was stopped by machine gun fire from the sugar factory, which another division had failed to capture. The village was heavily shelled overnight and 12th (DLOY) Bn, attacking at 05.00, worked round the flank across the Sailly-Saillisel road by 07.00, after which the Germans evacuated Le Transloy. The brigade then advanced behind a barrage to its second objective against little opposition, and continued on to Rocquigny by 22.00. The casualties had been a further 5 officers and 70 ORs, leaving only one fit officer per company. The advance continued, with Third Army closing up to the Germans' Hindenburg Line defences. It then halted to organise a formal attack on the Hindenburg outposts, the Battle of Épehy on 18 September. 52nd Brigade led the attack for 17th (N) Division at 05.20: 12th (DLOY) and the other two battalions met considerable opposition from machine guns on the first objective, Chapel Hill, but had taken it by 05.50. The other brigades then passed through to complete the advance to the final objective. The battalion lost 4 officers and 114 ORs, but 31 ORs posted 'missing' later turned up. It received a large draft of reinforcements at the end of the month. After Third and Fourth Armies had broken through the Hindenburg Line, 17th (N) Division came back into the line on 9 October during the Second Battle of Cambrai. It advanced quickly without an artillery barrage, gaining in the day. Next day it found the enemy strongly posted behind the River Selle. On the night of 11/12 October the divisional engineers built footbridges over the river and next morning 52nd Bde attacked Neuvilly, with 12th (DLOY) Manchesters and 9th Duke of Wellington's Regiment passing either side of the village, leaving it to be mopped up by 10th Lancashire Fusiliers. 12th (DLOY) Battalion reached the railway beyond the village, but a counter-attack in the afternoon drove it back almost to the river. Nevertheless, the bridgehead was held. After 'one of the most strenuous days in the history of the Bn', 12th (DLOY) had lost 11 officers and 269 ORs, leaving it with four officers (including the CO, adjutant and medical officer) and a little over 300 men. There was another pause until a full-dress attack (the Battle of the Selle) could be organised. 12th (DLOY) Battalion rested at Inchy, where a few reinforcements joined, but it came under consistent shelling, much of it with gas. On 20–21 October the rest of 17th (N) Division bypassed Neuvilly and completed the capture of the railway. After being reinforced with a mixture of old soldiers and raw recruits, 12th (DLOY) Bn advanced again on 31 October, fording the river and pushing onto the ridge beyond against German shelling and rearguards. The position was described as 'uncomfortable' because Neuvilly in the battalion's rear had still not been 'mopped up', and it was given two companies of the 7th Bn East Yorkshire Regiment as a flank guard. Meanwhile, the leading troops were shelled back off the ridge. 52nd Brigade attacked again on 4 November (the Battle of the Sambre): German shelling on the forming-up positions was heavy and their resistance in the orchards and hedgerows was obstinate, leading to considerable casualties. Nevertheless, the battalions reached their objectives and the follow-up brigades found their tasks easier. 12th (DLOY) Battalion's casualties were about 6 officers and 100 ORs, many suffering from the enemy's mustard gas. Next day other formations passed through the division and reached the River Sambre. 17th (N) Division took over the lead again on 8 November. The advance was now a pursuit, and 52nd Bde in the lead was unable to catch up with the retreating Germans. Hostilities ended at 11.00 on 11 November when the Armistice with Germany came into force, at which time 52nd Bde had reached the River Solre, south-east of Maubeuge. After the Armistice, 17th (N) Division withdrew and was employed in salvage work, In December it moved back to the Abbeville area where it went into winter quarters. Demobilisation began in January 1919 and was completed in May, when the remaining cadres of the battalions returned home. 12th (DLOY) Battalion was disembodied on 20 May 1919. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission lists 772 war dead for 12th Bn Manchester Regiment. Notes References Maj A.F.

Thomas Wimberley Mossman (1826 - July 6, 1885) was a Church of England priest, novelist, translator, episcopus vagans and Ritualist leader associated with the Order of Corporate Reunion (OCR). He was born in Skipton, North Yorkshire. Ordained priest on May 26, 1850, following studies at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, he became curate of Donington on Bain (of which his uncle was non-resident rector) as deacon in 1849. He was curate of Panton, Lincolnshire in 1852, vicar of Ranby, Nottinghamshire in 1854, and rector of the united benefices of East Torrington and West Torrington in Lincolnshire in 1859. Mossman was the primary English translator of the extensive biblical commentaries of the Flemish Roman Catholic exegete and priest, Cornelius a Lapide (1567-1637). At West Torrington, Mossman founded the Brotherhood of the Holy Redeemer in 1866 for poor students wishing to study for ordination: "This Religious Order has been instituted with the object of enabling a few Catholic-minded men to form themselves into a Community, wherein they may study and prepare for Holy Orders under the guidance of a Parish Priest." This order collapsed not long after its founding on account of a failure to achieve episcopal approbation. Mossman assumed the title Bishop of Selby in the Order of Corporate Reunion, an organization founded to re-ordain Church of England clergy with unquestionably valid holy orders in order to promote recognition by and reunion with the Roman Catholic Church. For these activities, he was expelled from the Society of the Holy Cross (SSC) in 1879. He was a close associate of OCR rector Frederick George Lee and John Thomas Seccombe. In 1852 Mossman married Mary Jane Ellis, daughter of Captain Dixie Ellis; together, they had seven children, including four sons and three daughters. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of the South in 1881. Mossman became a Roman Catholic during his final illness in 1885, and was received into that communion by his friend Cardinal Henry Edward Manning.

Waterfort is a fort in Willemstad, Curaçao located on the eastern side of the Sint Anna Bay. It was built in 1827 to protect Willemstad against attack. In 1858, marines were stationed in the fort. During World War II, the fort was put into operation again. In 1955, the marines were moved to , and Plaza Hotel Curaçao, a luxury hotel, was built in the fort. History The earliest fort at the location dated from 1634, but was abandoned. In the 1820s, all existing forts except for Fort Beekenburg were in a neglected state, and governor Paulus Roelof Cantz'laar developed a plan to strengthen the fortifications of Curaçao. In 1825, William I of the Netherlands appointed Lieutenant General Krayenhoff to construct new defences. Krayenhoff arrived in Curaçao on 26 June. The plan was to built Waterfort on the eastern side of the harbour and the Rif Fort on the western side. The plan was approved on 10 August 1826, and construction started in 1827. The completion of Waterfort meant that Fort Amsterdam no longer played a defensive role. In 1858, the Willem III Barracks were built inside the fort to house 178 marines. By 1917, the fort had become obsolete, and had been abandoned. During World War II, the fort reopened, and the Netherlands Marine Corps reoccupied the barracks. In 1955, it was decided to built Plaza Hotel Curaçao, a luxury hotel, inside the fort. The marines were relocated to in late 1955, and the barracks were demolished.

Richard Leake (1629 – 1696) was an English naval officer and master-gunner of England. Life Richard Leake, son of Richard Leake, was born at Harwich in 1629. According to Martin Leake's biography of Sir John Leake, he served under his father in the Navy under the Parliament, but being a Royalist at heart took an opportunity of deserting and entered the King's service. His Majesty's affairs proving very unfortunate, more especially by sea, he went to Holland and served in the Dutch army. It does not, however, appear that the elder Leake commanded a state's ship, and the only service of the King at sea that the lad can have entered was the semi-piratical squadron under Prince Rupert. After being some time in Holland he was able to return to England, and commanded a merchant ship in several voyages to the Mediterranean. At the Restoration he was appointed gunner of the Princess, and in her fought in many severe actions during the Second Dutch War. In one, in the North Sea, on 20 April 1667, the Princess was engaged with seventeen vessels, apparently Rotterdam privateers, and though hard pressed succeeded in beating them off. She then went to Gottenburg, and in the return voyage was attacked by two Danish ships on 17 May. The captain and master were killed, the lieutenant was badly wounded, and the command devolved on Leake, who after a stubborn fight beat them off and brought the ship safely to the Thames. He was given 30l., and by warrant, 13 August 1667, was appointed "one of his majesty's gunners within the Tower of London, in consideration of his good and faithful service to his majesty during the war with the French, Danes, and Dutch". In May 1669 he was promoted to be gunner of the Royal Prince, a first rate, which carried the flag of Sir Edward Spragge in the battle with the Dutch of 10 August 1673. The Royal Prince was dismasted; many of her guns were dismounted; some four hundred of her men were killed or wounded; Spragge had shifted his flag to the St. George; and a large Dutch ship with two fireships bore down on her, making certain of capturing or of burning her. It is said that Rooke (afterwards Sir George), her first lieutenant and commander, judging further defence impossible, ordered the colours to be struck, and that Leake countermanding the order, and sending Rooke off the quarter-deck, took the command on himself, saying, "The Royal Prince shall never be given up while I am alive to defend her". His two sons, Henry and John, gallantly supported him; the men recovered from their panic; the fireships were sunk, the man-of-war beaten off, and the Royal Prince brought to Chatham, but Henry Leake, the eldest son, was killed. The story is probably founded on fact, but is certainly much exaggerated. The Royal Prince being unserviceable, Leake was moved into the Neptune, and shortly afterwards was given the command of one of the yachts, and appointed also to be master-gunner of Whitehall. By patent, 21 May 1677, he was constituted master-gunner of England and storekeeper of his Majesty's ordnance and stores of war at Woolwich. In 1683 he attended Lord Dartmouth to Tangier to demolish the fortifications. He is described as skilful and ingenious in his art, as the originator of the method of igniting the fuzes of shell by the firing of the mortar, and as the contriver of the "infernals" used at St. Malo in 1693. He invented also what seems to have been a sort of howitzer, which is spoken of as a "cushee-piece", to fire shell and carcasses; in theory it seemed a formidable arm, but in practice it was found more dangerous to its friends than to its enemies, and never came into general use. In practising with it at Woolwich Leake's youngest son, Edward, was killed in September 1688. Leake died and was buried at Woolwich in July 1696. One son, John, and a daughter, Elizabeth, survived him. References Bibliography 1629 births 1696 deaths Royal Navy officers
Alborada () is a 2021 Sri Lankan multilingual biographical romantic film directed by Asoka Handagama and produced by H.D. Premasiri for Sarasavi Cineroo. The film is based on the fictionalised life of Chile's Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda from 1929 to 1931 in Sri Lanka. It stars Luis J. Romero and Anne Solen Hatte in lead role whereas Dominic Keller, Malcolm Machado and Rithika Kodithuwakku made supportive roles. The Sinhala meaning of 'Alborada' is "the dawning of the day". Plot Cast Luis J. Romero as Pablo Neruda Anne Solen Hatte as Josie Bliss, Neruda's Burmese girlfriend Dominic Keller as Lionel Wendt Nimaya Harris as Patsy, Neruda's liberated girlfriend Malcolm Machado as Servant Ratnaiya Rithika Kodithuwakku as Tamil garbage cleaner Thusitha Laknath Samantha Balasuriya Juliyan Kawshalya Mendis Krishantha Jayabahu Adam Smyth Lewis Bower Conrad Ford Rebecca Russell-Turner Kasun Perera Kanchana Nandani Production The first information about Pablo Neruda's presence as Chilean Consul of Sri Lanka and the experiences he encountered in Sri Lanka was first found by Handagama in Tissa Abeysekera's book "Ayaale Giya Sithak". It was in those days that the idea of making a film based on that incident came to his mind. Even though he started to write the script with a romance-based plot, he later realized that Neruda has raped a Tamil garbage collecting female lady during his visit to Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, women's and student movements are protesting against a proposal in parliament to rename Chile's main airport, Santiago, in 2018, as Pablo Neruda Airport. Due to the strength of the opposition the government has to withdraw the resolution. The script was fully prepared throughout 2019 and it was decided to shoot in 2020 amidst COVID-19 pandemic. The casting of the film was too difficult with searching fresh faces that can speak Spanish and foreign look. Although a Chilean actor was first screened, his dates did not match with COVID situation. Handagama then screened Luis Romero, a young Spanish actor and poet who knew Neruda well and loved him. Then he chose Anne Solen, a French actress of Asian descent, for the role of Neruda's Burmese girlfriend. As soon as the first corona curfew was over, the filming was started. For all the other roles, Sri Lankan artists of foreign origin were selected. The role of Lionel Wendt is played by Dominic Keller. Nimaya Harris as Neruda's liberated girlfriend. Malcolm Machado plays the servant and Rithika Kodithuwakku plays as the Tamil garbage cleaner. The main language of the film is English but also had to use Spanish when reciting poetry because the flow of words with syllables comes exactly from the original language of Neruda. Tamil and Sinhala languages were used when necessary as well as subtitled. The production plan of the film was done by Nimal Dushmantha. Then he built Ranminithenna cinema village as a model of the old Colombo Fort. Nonagama was selected as the scene of the Sakkili community singing. Release The media screening was held at the PVR Cinema Hall under the patronage of the Minister of Mass Media and Information, Dullas Alahapperuma. A special screening of the film was held on 29 December 2021 at the Multiplex Cinema Hall in Kandy City Center. The film and Neruda's memoir translated by Saman Wickramaarachchi was officially released under the title 'Mata Mathaka Ma' on 14 February 2022. However, the film was released for a limited number of days where the show is set to end on March 3. Recognition The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. The film competed in the International Competition Section at the 34th Tokyo International Film Festival (2021) in Japan.

The Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory (VAL) was a research institution under the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) that specialized in missile electronic warfare, vulnerability, and surveillance. It was responsible for assessing the vulnerability of Army weapons and electronic communication systems to hostile electronic warfare and coordinating missile electronic countermeasure efforts for the U.S. Army. VAL was one of the seven Army laboratories that merged to form the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in 1992. History The Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory stemmed from a long generation of Army research and development laboratories that have undergone extensive organizational restructuring and multiple name changes. Its roots trace back to the Signal Corps Laboratories, which directed research into electronics, radar, and communication systems at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. In 1946, the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories sent a small team of researchers to White Sands Missile Range to perform firing tests on the captured German V-2 rockets. On January 1, 1949, the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories Field Station No. 1 was established at Fort Bliss, Texas to conduct research in radar tracking and communication systems to provide support for the early missile programs at White Sands Missile Range. In 1952, Field Station No. 1 was reorganized to form the White Sands Signal Corps Agency, which sought to improve munition performance by conducting high altitude and upper atmosphere research. In the first ten months of 1958, the Agency provided communication-electronics support for the firing of more than 2,000 missiles. The White Sands Signal Corps Agency also developed the Voice Operated Device for Automatic Transmission (VODAT), a device that made it possible for two-way radiotelephone conversations to occur on a single frequency. By 1959, the White Sands Signal Corps Agency had doubled in size and scope of operations and was redesignated as the U.S. Army Signal Missile Support Agency (SMSA). SMSA was responsible for providing communication-electronic, meteorologic, and other support for the Army's missile and space program as well as conducting research and development in meteorology, electronic warfare, and missile vulnerability. It was involved in the installation of the vast communication network at White Sands Missile Range and developed the Sonic Observation of Trajectory and Impact of Missiles (SOTIM) System, which provided acoustic information on missiles upon re-entry and impact. These stations were installed at 16 different points at WSMR and were also equipped to measure wind speed, temperature, and humidity. SMSA also built meteorological rockets that could carry a 70-pound instrument package as high as 600,000 feet in order to obtain upper atmospheric data. Due to a major Army restructuring effort, SMSA became a part of the Electronics Research and Development Activity under the U.S. Army Electronics Command (ECOM) in 1962. In June 1965, the Army Electronics Laboratories, which supervised the prior Signal Corps research within the U.S. Army Electronics Command, was discontinued. As a result, the Army Electronics Laboratories and its components, including the Electronics Research and Development Activity, were broken up and reshuffled into six separate Army laboratories: the Electronic Components Laboratory (later the Electronics Technology and Devices Laboratory), the Communications/ADP Laboratory, the Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory, the Electronic Warfare Laboratory, the Avionics Laboratory, and the Combat Surveillance and Target Acquisition Laboratory. Within the newly organized Electronic Warfare Laboratory (EWL), the Missile Electronic Warfare Division represented the origin of the Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory. The division's name was changed again to the Missile Electronic Warfare Technical Area (MEWTA) before it became the Office of Missile Electronic Warfare (OMEW) in the early 1970s. OMEW was responsible for conducting research on missile electronic warfare and ascertain missile system vulnerabilities while developing appropriate electronic counter-countermeasures at White Sands Missile Range. In 1985, the Office of Missile Electronic Warfare was renamed the Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory. The headquarters for VAL were located at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, but major elements of the laboratory were also stationed at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, and Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. By 1988, the Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory consisted of more than 250 personnel, 60 military and 196 civilian. In 1992, the Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory was among the seven Army laboratories that was consolidated to form the U.S. Army Research Laboratory following the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) in 1988. Under the Army Research Laboratory, the Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory transitioned into the Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate. Research The Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory, much like its predecessors, was primarily responsible for conducting vulnerability and susceptibility assessments of all U.S. Army weapons, communications, and electromagnetic systems to protect against electronic warfare threats. At the time, the consolidation of all vulnerability assessment functions into a single element made the U.S. Army unique in this regard compared to the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. In addition, VAL coordinated research on electronic counter-countermeasures and performed electronic warfare vulnerability assessments on foreign missile systems. The Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory was made up of five divisions designed to cover each of its mission areas: Air Defense, Communications-Electronics, Close Combat and Fire Support, Foreign Missiles, and Technology and Advanced Concepts. Common electronic warfare threats that were taken into consideration by VAL included jamming, radar-reflecting chaff that hid the targets, and decoy flares. In general, electronic countermeasure assessments consisted of engineering evaluations, laboratory investigations, computer simulations, and field experiments. VAL also maintained an extensive inventory of technologies that simulated electronic countermeasure environments and developed “hardening” techniques in response to these threats. Projects The Vulnerability Assessment Laboratory was involved in the development of several technologies, including steerable null antenna processor (SNAP) systems used against enemy jammer threats and various high-power microwaves. In 1985, VAL conducted a major field experiment testing the feasibility of the Stinger-RMP missile system, which significantly influenced its production. VAL has also participated in the improvement of the following technologies and systems: Stinger Post (FIM-92B): A passive surface-to-air missile that utilized an IR/UV seeker to resist enemy countermeasures. MIM-104 Patriot: A surface-to-air missile system that uses an AN/MPQ-53 or AN/MPQ-65 radar set to function as an anti-ballistic missile system. Pershing II: A two-stage ballistic missile that had served as one of the U.S. Army's primary nuclear-capable theater-level weapons. MIM-23 Hawk: A surface-to-air missile that used a semi-active radar homing guidance system designed to attack aircraft flying at low to medium altitudes. BGM-71 TOW: Short for “Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided”; an anti-tank missile with a semi-automatic guidance system. Single-channel ground-air radio system (SINCGARS): A combat-net radio (CNR) used by U.S. and allied military forces for voice and data communications. Night Chaparral: A variant of the MIM-72 Chaparral, a surface-to-air missile system that used Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) technology for enhanced night performance.

Mark 63 Gun Fire Control System (Mk.63 GFCS) is a gun fire-control system made up of AN/SPG-34 radar tracker and the Mark 29 gun sight. They were usually equipped for the control of twin QF 4-inch naval gun Mk XVI and Mk.33 twin 3"/50 cal guns. Overview Conventionally, the US Navy has used Mk.51 GFCS on their gun of medium caliber guns and cannons, but it was based on visual aiming and tracking by human, and it does not have anti-aircraft range measuring means, etc. It was rather limited. For this reason, Mk.63 was developed as a new generation GFCS with a particular focus on attack countermeasures. Mark 29 Gun Sight During development, the Navy Weapons Agency aimed to achieve blind shooting and high-precision interception capabilities for targets that take evasive action within 4,000 yards (3,700 m). Similar to the late model of Mk.51, it is a human-operated GFCS centered on the disturbed-line-of-sight systems Mk.15 (later improved Mk.29) gun sight. Equipped with a radar, the radar spot appears within the field of view of the Mk.29, so blind shooting was also possible. Initially, S-band Mk.28 and later X-band Mk.34 were used as radars, and they were installed on turrets and mounts, but the beam width was too narrow and it was difficult to capture targets. By moving the antenna up and down 20 degrees to make it easier to capture the target by swinging the beam (notting mechanism), measures were taken. The first test was conducted in June 1944, and the deployment started with the installation on an aircraft carrier in November of the same year, and it was put into actual battle in the Battle of Okinawa. AN/SPG-34 Radar Tracker In 1953, the formal name was changed from Mk.34 to AN/SPG-34 based on the naming convention for military electronic devices after completing certain improvements such as increasing the antenna diameter and increasing radar transmission output. In AN/SPG-34, the knotting mechanism was removed due to the improved target acquisition capability, and instead, like AN/SPG-35 in Mk.56 GFCS, conical scanning that quickly measures and distances with a narrow beam width. It was supposed to track the target by (conical scan). In 1956, AN/SPG-34 was modified by using a slightly higher frequency (8,600-9,600 MHz), narrowing the pulse width (0.25 microseconds), and increasing the pulse repetition frequency (2,000/200 pps). On the other hand, Mk.57 was also developed as a direct-view system that uses the AN/SPG-34 radar and eliminates the complicated optical system due to the perspective type of Mk.63. This was because the computer Mk.17 on the directional board detects the angular velocity etc. with the built-in gyroscope by looking directly at the aiming telescope of the directional board or manually tracking the target on the radar scope, and the computer placed inside the ship. The shooting specifications were calculated by .16. However, unlike Mk.63, the fire-control radar was installed on the directional board rather than on the gun side. Of AN/SPG-34, Mk.63 adopted mod.1 and mod.2 while Mk.57 adopted mod.3 and mod.4. Later, based on the Mk.63, the Mk.70 was also developed as a derivative of the Ku-band AN/SPG-52 range-finding radar.

Purity Nomthandazo Malinga (born 1958) is a South African Methodist bishop and the 100th Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA). Malinga was ordained to the Christian ministry in 1988, the fourth woman to be ordained in her denomination. In 1999, she became the first woman to be elected as a bishop in the MCSA, and served nine years as the bishop for the Natal Coastal region. She later became director of the MCSA's Education for Ministry and Mission Unit, which holds responsibility for overseeing theological education within the denomination. She is the first woman to become presiding bishop for the MCSA; she was elected to that position in 2019, succeeding Bishop Ziphorzihle Siwa. The MCSA is the largest mainline Protestant denomination in Southern Africa and includes churches in Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa. Biography Nomthandazo Nobuhle Purity Malinga was born in 1958 in Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the eldest child of Siziba Jeffrey and Thenjiwe Emily Malinga. The family lived on a farm, and as a child, Malinga helped with chores and farming tasks, along with her younger brother. Malinga was raised in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa from a young age. The family attended services at Webbstown Methodist Society, and her mother and grandmother were members of the women's manyano (or women's auxiliary). Malinga attended the Indaleni Methodist Institution, where she studied education, and became trained to be a schoolteacher. After graduating in 1976, she returned to Ixopo, where she taught for five years at the Siyakhona Primary school. With encouragement from a local pastor, Reverend Raymond Kumalo, Malinga then decided to pursue ordained ministry in the Methodist church. Women had recently been allowed to present themselves as candidates for ordination. In 1981, she was accepted as a provisional candidate. From 1982 to 1983, she served as a minister-in-training in KaBhokweni. From 1983 to 1986, she studied at the Federal Theological Seminary of Southern Africa, known as FEDSEM. FEDSEM was an ecumenical seminary that prepared students, primarily from Anglican, Congregationalist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches, for the ministry. During the apartheid era, education in South Africa was widely segregated by race, and black students formed the majority of the student body at FEDSEM, although some colored and white students attended. The school was known for fostering both an ecumenical spirit among the students, and an awareness of social justice issues. At the time that Malinga attended, there were few women students, and all from the Methodist Church. After completing her studies at FEDSEM, Malinga spent a year in ministry at Ohlelo-Nkandla. In 1988, Malinga was ordained, becoming only the fourth woman to be ordained in Methodist Church of Southern Africa. The following year, she went to study at Harvard Divinity School, in Cambridge, MA, in the United States, where she earned a Master of Divinity degree in 1992. After completing her degree, she returned to South Africa, where she became a lecturer in New Testament at FEDSEM. However, the school closed that same year. She then became the head of the education department for the Methodist Church of Southern Africa. She continued teaching, both at the Theological Education by Extension College in Johannesburg, and at Kilnerton Methodist College in Pretoria. In 1999, she was elected as a bishop, becoming the first woman to hold this role in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa.

Oluyemi Thomas (born August 16, 1952) is a free jazz bass clarinetist and saxophonist. Thomas was born in Detroit, Michigan. He began playing clarinet as a child, and was exposed to the music of Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Dizzy Gillespie, and Duke Ellington by his parents. He attended Washtenaw College in Ann Arbor Township, Michigan, studying engineering and music, and receiving an Associate of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, then worked for Bechtel. In 1974, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he was employed by a construction company and became involved with the music scene. During this time, he met his future wife and musical partner, the poet Ijeoma Chinue Thomas, who was visiting from Washington, D.C.. Thomas moved to D.C. to join her, and the couple soon married before moving back to the west coast, settling in Oakland, where they currently live. Together, the duo founded a group called Positive Knowledge, performing works inspired by their Baháʼí Faith. Over the years, in addition to releasing a number of albums, they toured the world, and collaborated with a wide range of musicians, including Marshall Allen, Eddie Gale, Henry Grimes, Kidd Jordan, Peter Kowald, Miya Masaoka, Roscoe Mitchell, Sunny Murray, Larry Ochs, William Parker, Wadada Leo Smith, Cecil Taylor, John Tchicai, and Michael Wimberly. Writing for The New York Times, Ben Ratliff stated that the group was responsible for "the best moments" of the opening concert of the 2002 Vision Festival, and commented: "The Thomases practice a mixture of free jazz and poetry, and practice it well. Mr. Thomas played interval-jumping improvisations that recalled bird songs and Eric Dolphy; Ms. Thomas intoned and repeated lines, going from whisper to shriek. They played in close communication, feeding off each other's sputtering energy." Thomas refers to his music as "adventurous jazz," and acknowledged the influence of Eric Dolphy, calling him "my great teacher." Although Thomas performs on both bass clarinet and saxophone, he stated that "the bass clarinet has that floor-of-the-ocean tone that I really adore." In an AllMusic review, Michael G. Nastos wrote: "The bass clarinet of Oluyemi Thomas is freely able to discourse at length in an overblown harmonic fashion reminiscent of latter-period John Coltrane. This unabashed sovereignty creates more rhythmic opportunities than melodic ones. He sounds like an extension of David Murray, and the difference is the emphasis on building sheets of sound gradually from pianissimo to forte and back again on... longer improvisations." In addition to being an improvisor, Thomas composes, and is known for his colorful graphic scores, which, according to an interviewer, resemble paintings by Kandinsky. Thomas began experimenting with notation in the 1970s, and said that his engineering background influenced the appearance of his scores. According to Thomas, his music is an expression of his Baháʼí faith. In an interview, he commented that "music comes from the world of beyond... to convey collective reality," and stated that the performance of music is "having a conversation with God."

V1005 Orionis is a young flare star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It has the identifier GJ 182 in the Gliese–Jahreiß catalogue; V1005 Ori is its variable star designation. This star is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having a mean apparent visual magnitude of 10.1. It is located at a distance of 79.6 light years from the Sun and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 19.2 km/s. The star is a possible member of the IC 2391 supercluster. Flare activity was first reported for this star by N. I. Shakhovskaya in 1974. B. W. Bopp found anomalously strong lithium lines in the spectrum of GJ 182, a rarity for stars of this class and a possible indicator of a very young star. Together with F. Espenak, in 1977 Bopp demonstrated the star showed periodic variations similar to BY Draconis. In 1984, Byrne and associates found a preliminary rotation period of 4.55 days and showed the star had a normal flare rate. The stellar classification of V1005 Ori is M0Ve, indicating this is an M-type main-sequence star (a "red dwarf") with emission lines (e) in its spectrum. It is classified as a BY Draconis and UV Ceti variable, which means it is a magnetically active star that exhibits rotational modulation of star spots and undergoes sudden increases in brightness from flares. Because of this activity, the star displays a low level of X-ray emission. The surface magnetic field strength is and the magnetic field has multiple poles. It shows a possible activity cycle with a period of 38 years and an amplitude of 0.13 in magnitude. This star is an estimated 25 million years old and is currently about a half magnitude above the main sequence. However, the high lithium content suggests it may be as young as 10–15 million years, as this element is typically expected to be depleted after 20 million years. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of ~9 km/s, and a rotation period of 4.4 days suggests it is being viewed from close to the equatorial plane. The star has less mass, a smaller radius, and a lower luminosity compared to the Sun. V1005 Ori is surrounded by a circumstellar disk of dust that indicates planetary formation is under way. This disk has a radius of , a mean temperature of , and a dust mass equal to 3.35 times the mass of the Moon. A candidate sub-stellar companion was identified in 2001, but this was determined to be a background object.

Abu'l-Dhawwād Muḥammad ibn al-Musayyab was the first Emir of Mosul from the Uqaylid dynasty, from –996. Life Muhammad and the Uqaylid dynasty belonged to the Banu Uqayl, a northern Arab tribe who were originally clients of the Hamdanid emirs of Mosul. The Buyids captured Mosul and much of Upper Mesopotamia from the Hamdanids in the late 970s. This development resulted in the strengthening of the position of the Uqayl ruling family, as the Buyid emir Adud al-Dawla gave them his backing and made them responsible for maintaining discipline among the tribe. In the 980s, Buyid rule was challenged by the Kurdish chieftain Badh ibn Dustak. Left without support from Baghdad, the local Buyid governor turned to the Uqayl and the Banu Numayr for assistance. This made the Arab tribes even more powerful, and in 989, the Buyid emir Baha al-Dawla sent the Hamdanid brothers Abu Tahir Ibrahim and Abu Abdallah al-Husayn to Mosul, in the hope that their local ties would mobilize opposition against Badh, and keep the Arab tribes reined in. The Hamdanids were indeed received with enthusiasm by the local population, to such a degree that they rose in revolt and expelled the Buyid governor from Mosul. The Uqayl backed the Hamdanids, and received control of the towns of Jazirat ibn Umar, Nisibis, and Balad (north of Mosul), in exchange. Exploiting the turmoil, Badh attacked Mosul in the next year, but was defeated and killed by the numerically inferior Uqayl forces in battle near Balad. A Hamdanid counter-offensive followed in the region of Amida, but failed to score any success. Indeed, al-Husayn was taken prisoner, finding refuge with the Fatimids after his release, while Ibrahim fled to Uqaylid-held Nisibis, where Muhammad took him and his son Ali prisoner and killed them. At the same time, Muhammad also sidelined his principal Bedouin rival, the leader of the Banu Numayr, and secured control of Mosul and its province. In 991/2, however, the Uqayl were defeated by a Buyid army under al-Hajjaj ibn Ustadh Hurmuz, and in a peace concluded in the next year, they had to again recognize Buyid suzerainty. They kept control of districts around Mosul, but the city itself became the seat of al-Hajjaj as Buyid governor and abandon Mosul. Muhammad died in 996, and a succession struggle followed between his brothers, Ali and al-Muqallad, resulting in a shared authority and weakening the Uqaylid emirate, although during this time, the Buyids were evicted from Mosul altogether.

Songül Mutluer (born 11 December 1979) is a Dutch politician, serving as a member of the House of Representatives since 2022. She is a member of the Labour Party (PvdA) and has served as a Zaanstad municipal council member and alderwoman for fifteen years before. Having studied law, Mutluer has also worked as a legal professional and taught law at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Early life and non-political career She was born in 1979 in the Overijssel city Enschede, where her parents, Turkish migrant workers, were employed in the textile industry. She has a brother and five sisters. At age three, Mutluer moved with her mother to Turkey, where she resided in the cities Mersin and Adana. Mutluer returned to the Netherlands in 1988 with her mother. There, she lived in the Zaandam neighborhood Poelenburg and attended the high school Zaanlands Lyceum at gymnasium level. Mutluer subsequently studied law at the University of Amsterdam, obtaining a Master of Laws degree. During her study, when she was just over twenty years old, she returned to Turkey to intern at an Ankara law firm for four months. After graduating, Mutluer started teaching law at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and received a grant to research invitations to tender. She also became a legal professional specialized in invitations to tender and contracts and worked for the governmental organization Rijkswaterstaat. Politics Mutluer became a member of the municipal council of Zaanstad after she was elected in the 2006 election as the Labour Party's fifth candidate in the municipality. Mutluer was re-elected in March 2010, being placed second on the party list. She became her party's caucus leader in the municipal council in December 2010. She again appeared second on the Labour Party's list in the 2014 municipal election. Besides, Mutluer became a member of an advisory committee that selected the Labour Party's candidates for the 2017 general election. She stepped down as caucus leader for a half year starting in the spring of 2016 in order to write her dissertation. Mutluer was re-elected once again in March 2018 as her party's . She vacated her seat in the municipal council in June to serve as alderwoman of housing, youth care services, poverty, and elderly policy in the new municipal executive. She also became a board member of the Association of Netherlands Municipalities in late 2019. Zaanstad received €20.5 million from the national government during her term to invest in the quick construction of new houses and another €43 million to spend on vulnerable neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city, more than any other municipality. Mutluer told that she wanted to use the latter funds to increase the sustainability of 850 houses, to improve public spaces and amenities, and to combat housing fraud. Halfway through 2020, a number of youth care service centers stopped admitting new children, as the region Zaanstreek-Waterland had run out of its budget for that year. The regional audit office concluded that the costs Zaanstad was making had gotten out of hand in the preceding years and that the municipality did not have reliable data about its system. Mutluer called on the national government to provide more funds to municipalities for youth care services. She was the Labour Party's tenth candidate in the March 2021 general election and received 4,896 preference votes. She was not elected, as her party won nine seats in the House of Representatives. Mutluer had previously been one of the during the 2012 general election in the Den Helder electoral district (place 77). Personal life Mutluer is a resident of the North Holland city of Zaandam.

The idea for the school arose in the 1890s due to disagreements between some African American Baptists in the state and the American Baptist Home Mission Society (ABHMS), a Baptist organization that was affiliated with the Atlanta Baptist Seminary (now Morehouse College, a historically black college in Atlanta). They argued that Atlanta Baptist should have more African American representation in its leadership, and in 1899, Central City College was formed as an African American-led alternative to Atlanta Baptist, with the project spearheaded by noted Baptist preacher Emanuel K. Love of Savannah, Georgia. William E. Holmes, an instructor from Atlanta Baptist, served as its first president. The school functioned primarily as a primary and secondary school for its first few decades of operation, adding a college department in 1920. In 1921, a fire destroyed much of the school, though it was later rebuilt. The school struggled financially for much of its existence and in 1937, it went into foreclosure. The school continued on for several years after this, but finally closed in 1956. Background The idea for the school originated in the 1890s due to internal conflicts among African American Baptists in the U.S. state of Georgia. At the time, the American Baptist Home Mission Society (ABHMS), a New York City-based Baptist organization, was an influential group that supported several African American Baptist institutions throughout the state, including several institutions of higher learning such as the Atlanta Baptist Seminary. However, many African American Baptists were critical of the organization's leadership of these institutions, which were often led by white Americans. The Reverend Emanuel K. Love, a noted Baptist leader from Savannah, Georgia, was an outspoken advocate for more African American leadership in Baptist institutions and he had unsuccessfully sought positions on the board of trustees at both Atlanta Baptist and Spelman Seminary, another Baptist seminary located in Atlanta. In 1897, seeking to diffuse the tension, the ABHMS agreed to work with African Americans to ensure increased representation on the colleges' boards of trustees. That same year, Atlanta Baptist was re-incorporated as a college, though African Americans were still largely excluded from leadership positions, a trend that would continue through 1899. That year, Love announced the formation of an African American Baptist college to rival the ABHMS-affiliated Atlanta Baptist. Love, acting under the auspices of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia (a statewide Baptist group that Love was the president of), acquired about of land near Macon, Georgia to serve as the site of a new college. In September 1899, Love reached out to William E. Holmes, an African American faculty member from Atlanta Baptist, to offer him the position of president for this new college. Holmes had been the first African American faculty member at Atlanta Baptist and had worked there for over two decades at the time, and while he initially agreed to remain at Atlanta Baptist, he changed his mind and joined Love after then-Atlanta Baptist President George Sale asked him to publicly denounce the formation of the new school. Some time prior to this, Holmes had been involved in an effort to ouster Sale from his position as president, and Holmes's decision to accept the presidency at the new school may have been due in part to him being passed over for the presidency of Atlanta Baptist in favor of Sale in 1890. John Hope, a friend of Holmes's and fellow faculty member at Atlanta Baptist, opted to remain in Atlanta, where he was now the only African American faculty member. He would later become Atlanta Baptist's first African American president in 1906. Additionally, while there had been concerns that Holmes would recruit students from Atlanta Baptist to the new school, many opted to remain at Atlanta Baptist. Establishment The new school, named Central City College, was officially established in October 1899. It was part of a regional trend of independent Baptist colleges that formed around the late 1800s and early 1900s to serve African Americans in the American South, with similar institutions including Guadalupe College and Morris College. In its initial form, the institution functioned primarily as a grade school, with the school offering a primary school, high school, and a three-year theology program. The school was coeducational, although the theology program was only offered to men. Only a small number of students participated in the theology program. From its beginning, the school attempted to follow the educational model found in the liberal arts colleges of New England, in opposition to the industrial education favored by noted African American leader Booker T. Washington. The primary school offered sources in geometry, grammar, history, mathematics, penmanship, and reading, while the high school courses included additional history courses, advanced mathematics, bookkeeping, physiology, physics, and language courses on English, Greek, and Latin. Only two faculty members held college degrees—Holmes and the Reverend James M. Nabrit, who also held a bachelor's degree from Atlanta Baptist. Early years By the school's third year of operation, it had an enrollment of 365 students, and by 1908 it employed 11 teachers and enrolled about 325 students. The school struggled financially for most of its existence, with one biography of the school stating that it "remained perpetually on the verge of bankruptcy and closure". By 1908, the school had an annual operating expense of about $4,000, while records from 1916 show that the school collected only $307 in school fees, equal to about $5 per student at the time. The school received some financial support from the Missionary Baptist Association to help it continue its operations, and additionally, the school farmed some of its large campus. By 1908, of the school's campus, approximately were used as farmland. Office of Education report In 1914, the school was visited by members of the United States Office of Education, who were collecting information on African American education in the United States. As part of their report, they recorded an enrollment of 40 primary school students and 25 high school students, though they stated that the number was usually larger in the winter months, taught by four full-time teachers and two volunteer teachers. They valued the school's assets, including the property, buildings, and materials, at about $16,000 and noted that the school was in $5,000 of debt due mostly to back pay and other general expenses. Assessing the state of education in Bibb County, Georgia as a whole, the report stated that, "The Central City College, a private school located in the suburbs, is of slight educational value to the community", and additionally recommended "[t]hat the plant be sold and the work transferred to some of the stronger Baptist schools of the State". Later years In 1920, the school officially began its college department, and the number of teachers had risen to eight. However, in May of the following year, Central City College's school buildings were destroyed in a fire. According to Holmes, the fire, which had been started by someone accused of insanity, destroyed most of the school's infrastructure, as well as "our Records and nearly everything else we had". In the aftermath of the destruction, community farmers sold some of their produce to raise money for the school's reconstruction, collecting about $164.34 for the school, while the Reverend T. J. Goodall (preacher at First African Baptist Church in Savannah and a board member of Central City College) personally donated $50 to the cause. For the fall semester that year, the school enrolled 204 students, with classes being held in tents set up on the campus. 161 students commuted, while the 43 who lived on campus stayed either in the president's house or in tents. Fundraising efforts continued through at least 1923. Shortly before Christmas 1921, Holmes was visited at Central City College by Hope (who by this time was president of Atlanta Baptist, which had since been renamed to Morehouse College), E. C. Sage of the General Education Board (GEB, a private organization that supported schools for African Americans) and the Reverend M. W. Reddick (president of the Missionary Baptist Convention), who came to discuss the possible future of the school. While they stated that the school was "poorly managed, and educationally amounts to very little", they were interested in redeveloping the school as "a good secondary school, linked up with the Morehouse-Americus-Spelman system". In 1924, Holmes retired as president of the school and was replaced by the Reverend J. H. Gadson, who had been an educator at a school in Rome, Georgia for about 18 years. Gadson requested support from the GEB to help fund Central City and even proposed a new direction for the school to focus more on industrial education at the high school level, though ultimately the GEB did not offer the school its financial support. In late 1933, Gadson launched a large fundraising campaign for improvements to the school that would elevate it to the same level of prestige as Atlanta University, another African American educational institute in Atlanta. During a trip to New York City, he was able to secure donations from the National Baptist Convention, and he committed his entire year's salary of $1,800 to the fundraising efforts. Additional contributions came from members of the Macon community and statewide Baptist groups, and James H. Porter, a local industrialist and philanthropist who was the head of Central City's white advisory board, donated $5,000. However, just a few years later in 1937, the school went into foreclosure and came under the ownership of Porter, who placed the school under the control of the Georgia Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention. The next year, the school was renamed to Georgia Baptist College. The school continued to operate and promote fundraising efforts, including staging musical events before racially segregated audiences. During this time, noted theologian J. Deotis Roberts served on the school's faculty, and for one year he was the school's Dean of Religion. However, the school never fully recovered financially, and it finally closed in 1956. Legacy In a 1975 book, historian James M. McPherson said the following regarding Central City College: "Hailed as a grand venture in self-help and independence, Central City College soon faded into a marginal secondary school and eventually collapsed". A 1951 book published by the University of Georgia Press on historically black colleges and universities in Georgia reflected on the school by saying it was created "in the spirit of antagonism" which left it "without universal sanction or support", which caused it "to fight for its existence" while "its work at higher learning remained a petty and pitiful affair". In 2003, the Georgia Historical Society erected a Georgia historical marker in Macon in honor of the school.

The Dutch Reformed Churches, in Dutch Nederlandse Gereformeerde Kerken (NGK), will form a Christian denomination Reformed, by merging the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) and Netherlands Reformed Churches (Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken). The expected date for the foundation of the denomination is March 1, 2023. History In the early 20th century, disagreements arose within the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands over the Covenant Theology view of Abraham Kuyper, so that several pastors disagreed with it. This dispute came to a head during World War II, when the General Synod ruled in favor of Kuyper's view which essentially questioned the inclusion of the children of believers in the Covenant. Many theologians and pastors disagreed with this decision, claiming that it contradicted the simple facts of the Scriptures, and tried to appeal the decision. The General Synod strictly enforced this view, requiring, among others, that new graduates (new graduates of the Theological Seminary) seek to subscribe to the Kuyperian point of view. Protesters also alleged that the General Synod was abusing its functional authority, staying longer than the three years allowed by Church Order legislation. In 1944 many pastors and theologians who opposed Abraham Kuyper's view were excommunicated by the General Synod. Therefore, a large number of local congregations broke away from the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, led by Prof. Dr. Klaas Schilder among others, to form his own denomination, the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) (Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland (vrijgemaakt)). This event was called Liberation (Vrijmaking). Since then there have been no serious attempts at reconciliation by either side. In 1967 a new controversy arose over the exclusivity of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) (GKV) as a true Christian church in Netherlands. The denomination decided that the GKV were the only true Christian churches in the country, which is why many members left the denomination. In the same year, these members constituted the Netherlands Reformed Churches (NGK) (Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken). In the following decades, however, the GKV changed its position, starting to recognize the existence of other truly Christian churches in the Netherlands. This led to rapprochement between the GKV and the NGK. In 2017, the two denominations began negotiating a merger. In 2021, it was decided by both churches that the merger will take place on March 1, 2023, the year in which the GKV and NGK will cease to exist, to give way to a new denomination called Dutch Reformed Churches (Nederlandse Gereformeerde Kerken).

Ioannis Genovellis (Preveza, circa 1760-, Vonitsa) was a governor, a member of Filiki Eteria, a military man and a politician, who in 1825 was elected as the first prefect of Athens. He excelled both in the military and in politics as he showed great patriotism and bravery. He was appointed as a major general and a senator. Apart from his political talents, Genovellis was linguistically cultivated having heeded the teachings of priest Dionysus of Akarnana. He did not have any children and lived as a pensioner in Vonitsa. He most likely died in 1841 at an age of over 80 years old. From 1843 onwards, his widowed wife received a monthly pension of 30 drachmae. Origins Genovellis was born in Preveza (circa 1760) into one of the most powerful families of the town, which was of Italian origin and had settled in Preveza after its second capture by the Venetians in 1718. In documents dating back to the Venetian period, the family name is written as Ginavelli or Ginovelli or Genovelli. In a document that dates back to 1787, he is referenced as Zuanne di Nicolo Ginavelli in a register of men from Preveza who are able to bear arms and were between the ages of 16 and 60. He was adequately educated having studied in Corfu and Pavia. His father, Nikolaos Genovellis, was a wealthy person and from 1779 to 1789 a notary. In the Venetian census of Preveza (circa 1790), he is referenced as a parishioner of the church of Saint Charalambos. Life before the Greek War of Independence After the Battle of Nicopolis in 1798, Ioannis Genovellis was employed in the civil service of Preveza (community, sanitation) where he worked as a notary for a few years. Notarial document 43 (numbered by Philaretos Vitalis) of the archive of the Metropolis of Nicopolis and Preveza was, among others, written by him. The recording was stopped due to the Battle of Nicopolis according to a note he wrote himself in the margins of the document. Ioannis Genovellis had a particularly important role in the administration of Preveza when it was a preferential regime (Autonomy 1800-1807). At the beginning of this period the Scholarship by Konstantinos Athanasiadis or Manos was created which was led by the «patriotic, philharmonic and cultivated Ioannis Genovellis» as he was described by the bishop of Arta and Preveza, Serafeim. It is not precisely known when he was appointed as Ali Pasha’s general manager in Preveza and supplier of the army and the fleet according to Ioannis F. Dimaratos. According to British traveller William M. Leak, Genovellis developed commercial activity intensively during the reign of Ali Pasha. When he encountered another British traveller, Thomas S. Hughes, on the evening of the 27th of December 1813, he was acting as if he had acquired the rank of governor of Preveza. It is mentioned that Ioannis Genovellis was initiated in Filiki Eteria just like Anastasios Gerogiannis, Mamati, Louropoulos, Dipla and Ginacka. Just before the beginning of the Greek War of Independence, the famous meeting between Ioannis Paparrigopoulos (he was then working as an interpreter for the Russian consulate in Patra) and Ali Pasha occurred in his residence. According to Panagiotis Aravantinos, Ioannis Genovellis served as the governor of the town until 1821. He then left Preveza in order to take part in the Greek War of Independence. After Genovellis, Konstantinos Moscos was governor of Preveza who was in turn succeeded by Konstantinos Leukaditis. Before Genovellis, though, responsible for the governance of Preveza for two years was Georgios Louropoulos who was not favored by Ali Pasha and was thus replaced by Genovellis. Life after 1820 After the fall of Ali Pasha at the hands of Hursit Pasha, Ioannis Genovellis was frightened as he had previously relied on the fact that Ali Pasha had favored him in the past. Therefore, he went to Rumelia and Morias following Ioannis Kolettis with whom he was close friends. The Second National Assembly at Astros, after Ioannis Kolettis took action, appointed him as the eparch of Athens during the age in which the castellan of the keep in Acropolis was Ioannis Gouras. The reference letter Ioannis Kolettis wrote to Gouras is worth mentioning as it is particularly distinctive: «My friend and brother, the very noble sir Ioannis Genovellis has been elected eparch of Athens. He is without question my friend and thus yours as well. So be friends with him in the same way you are with me. Trust him the same way you trust me and think about him as if he were me. Take advice from him for whatever you consider beneficial for our country so that you may as well be popular among those that were governed by him as I am sure you want them to have his gratitude and for me to be your friend. Ioannis Kolettis, June 2nd 1825». According to Ioannis Makrygiannis and Hlias Vasilias, Ioannis Genovellis took part, along with other warlords from Preveza, in a naval expedition on September 19, 1828 whose end goal was to cut off Vonitsas communication with the rest of the world and block their supply routes from Preveza and finally capture it. The achievements of the captains from Hydra under the leadership of the commander in chief of the Greek army Richard Church was remembered by the old residents of Preveza as the “Kairos me ta Mistikia” (The Time of Secrets) and which is considered folklore music. Ioannis Kolettis was initially a confidant of Ioannis Kapodistrias and became better known for his actions as a temporary commissioner of the Department of North Messenia in 1828 and of Laconia and South Messenia until the 14th of August, 1829. He then became a senator. During the presidency of Kapodistrias, he was assigned the role of the manager of the department of education of the Typiko (the predecessor of the Evelpidon Academy), the superintendent of Sparta and the eparch of Mani (March 20, 1830). In 1829 he took part in the fourth national assembly at Argos as the plenipotentiary of Epirus. Most likely after he was replaced by Iakovos Cornelius as the eparch of Mani -which was done only after Kapodistrias intervened- Genovellis joined Kolettis’ party who was politically opposed to Ioannis Kapodistrias.

The Agrafka Creative Workshop is a design studio founded by Ukrainian artists Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv. The studio is specialized in graphics, painting, and design. It has won international awards in the field of book illustration, including the Biennial International Award for Illustration and the 2018 Bologna Ragazzi Award. History Romanyshyn and Lesiv began working in book illustration while they were still students at the Lviv State College of Decorative and Applied Arts from 1999 to 2003. After they graduated, they received a proposal from the Lviv-based publishing house Літопис ("Chronicle") to create cover art for the novel Naive by Erlend Loe. The duo continued to design for Chronicle, producing general designs for two poetry collections: "Withered Leaves" by Ivan Franko in 2006 and "Three Rings" by Bohdan Ihor Antonych in 2008. Their work on "Withered Leaves" was especially important, as it represented their first complete work which encompassed design, layout, and graphics. Romanyshyn and Lesiv continued their studies in book design during an internship in Krakow in 2010 as part of the Polish Minister of Culture's "Gaude Polonia" scholarship. During this period they worked on the last piece by Polish Nobel Prize laureate Wislawa Szymborska, a collection of poems called "Może To Wszystko". The collection was published by BoSz and received praise from the author. In 2011, Agrafka undertook its first children's book project. Produced alongside the Bogdan Textbook publishing house, the book, a Ukrainian folk tale, was recognized as the best book at the Lviv International Children's Festival, won the Grand Prix Children's Book Prize, and was recognized in the 2012 edition of White Ravens, an international catalog of children's books. Working again with Bogdan Textbook, Agrafka illustrated another Ukrainian folk tale called "Turnip" in 2012. The book won the Lion's Children's Book Award for Best Art and was included in White Ravens in 2013. In the following years, Agrafka cooperated closely with the Old Lion Publishing House. The publishing house put out four books illustrated by Agrafka: "Antomies" and "Stars and Poppies" in 2014, and "My Home and Things in It" and "The War that Changed Rondo" in 2015. In 2015, Old Lion, Agrafka, and authors O. Dumanska and G. Tereshchuk produced the first book in a series of alphabet encyclopedias which won Best Book of the Publishers' Forum. The next year, they designed a supplement to the series which also won Best Book of the Publishers' Forum and earned the All-Ukrainian title of Book of the Year 2016.

Haematomma fluorescens is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Haematommataceae. Found in the neotropics, it was formally described as a new species in 1995 by lichenologists Klaus Kalb and Bettina Staiger. The type specimen was collected in the cordillera of Piribebuy in Paraguay; here it was found growing on the bark of Cinchona. The specific epithet refers to the fluorescence observed when the lichen is shone with a UV light; this is caused by the secondary compound known as lichexanthone. This compound readily distinguishes it from other members of Haematomma. The lichen also contains russulone. The variety Haematomma fluorescens var. longisporum, found in Costa Rica, was proposed in 2006. It differs from the nominal variety in having long ascospores that are 18–20 times as long as broad (measuring 75–120 by 4–6 μm) and in the number of septa (13–27). Haematomma fluorescens has been reported to occur in Costa Rica, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Venezuela.

China Airlines Flight 831 was a scheduled passenger flight from Kaohsiung in Taiwan to British Hong Kong that was hijacked on March 9, 1978. Hijacking The flight, operated by a Boeing 737-200 registered as B-1870, departed at 16:08 local time and was uneventful until 17:00, when one of the crew members, 34-year-old Shi Mingzhen, broke into the cockpit and demanded the pilots to fly to Mainland China. Captain Gao Zhixian and First Officer Gong Zhongkang (both former Republic of China Air Force pilots) refused the demands and were beaten by Shi. Despite the injuries the pilot suffered from the beating, the pilots ordered an on-board security guard to the cockpit. The guard broke down the cockpit door using a fire extinguisher and shot and killed the hijacker. The flight landed at Kai Tak Airport at 17:20, after which the Airport Security Unit searched the aircraft for any potential accomplices and questioned passengers. The pilots were then taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital due to their injuries. Aftermath The aircraft involved later crashed as Flight 2265 near Penghu Airport, killing all 13 people on board.

The Super Bowl is the championship game of the NFL. The organization Up with People performed in five Super Bowl halftime shows (headlining four of them), and additionally performed one Super Bowl pre-game show. In addition, in one of the years that they performed as the halftime headliners, Up with People accompanied Tom Sullivan in performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the national anthem of the United States) before the game. Up with People has performed in more Super Bowl halftime shows and had more overall Super Bowl performances than any other act. Up with People's halftime appearances took place during an era in which Super Bowl halftime shows differed from the large-name performer-headlined performances of more recent Super Bowls. Super Bowl halftime shows prior to the 1993 Super Bowl XXVII halftime show Super Bowl halftime shows were more in line with college football halftime shows, often featuring performances by marching bands and local performers. Among the shows of this era were also performances produced by such groups as The Walt Disney Company, Air Force Entertainment (Tops In Blue), and Radio City Productions. Shows occasionally featured notable entertainers, but were not centered upon these names in the vein of modern halftime shows. Retrospective looks by entertainment critics have given an overwhelmingly negative reception to the Super Bowl performances of Up with People. Super Bowl V halftime show (1971) Up with People were included as performers in the Super Bowl V halftime show, which was headlined by the Southeast Missouri State Marching Band with Anita Bryant as a guest. Super Bowl X performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (1976) At Super Bowl X, Up with People accompanied Tom Sullivan in performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the national anthem of the United States) before the start of the game. Up with People also headlined the halftime show for Super Bowl X. Super Bowl X halftime show (1976) The Super Bowl X halftime show was performed by Up with People, marking the first Super Bowl halftime show not to have a marching band as its headlining act. Taking place the year of the United States Bicentennial, the performance's theme was "200 Years and Just a Baby: A Tribute to America's Bicentennial". Up with People had also joined Tom Sullivan in performing the national anthem before the start of the game. Setlist "Good Time Neighborhood Band" "200 Years and Just A Baby" "Cindy" Medley: "Rippin' Along"/"Rock Around the Clock" Medley: "Take Me Home Country Roads"/"City of New Orleans"/"Philadelphia Freedom"/"200 Years and Just A Baby" (reprise) "America The Beautiful" Retrospective critical reception In a 2012 article for Entertainment Weekly, Chris Nashawaty named the show as one of the worst Super Bowl halftime show up through the 2011 halftime show. Nashawaty characterized the show as, characterizing the show as consisting of, "squeaky-clean, milk-drinking musical numbers". Nashawaty criticized Up with People in general, calling them a, "Benetton-ad collection of students from all over the world gathered together to make the cast of Fame look like hardened criminals." and further opining, "if you're too young to remember Up With People, let's put it this way — they are the music that gets played in hell’s waiting room." In a 2010 article for Bleacher Report, Tim McGhee criticized the performance, quipping, "it was as if your church's choir had taken off the robes to reveal Republican fashions and Mister Rogers was the choreographer." Super Bowl XIV halftime show (1980) The Super Bowl XIV halftime show was performed by Up with People and the Grambling State University Marching Bands. Its theme was "A Salute to the Big Band Era". Setlist "We Are Many, We Are One" Big Band Medley: "Jukebox Saturday Night"/"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree"/"Bandstand Boogie"/"Pennsylvania 6-5000"/"Sentimental Journey"/"Come On Get Happy"/"It Don't Mean a Thing" "Let's Conga" "Beer Barrel Polka" "Johnny B. Goode" "I'll Be Seeing You" Medley: "Chattanooga Choo-Choo"/"Full of the Power" "Up With People" Contemporary critical reception Harry Missildine of The Spokesman-Review called that show "outstanding", and opined that it was largely more "exciting" than the play during the first half of the game. Lane Crockett, the entertainment editor for Shreveport's Time Times wrote positively of the "effortlessness" of the performance. Super Bowl XVI halftime show (1982) The Super Bowl XVI halftime show was the third of four halftime shows which Up with People headlined. Its theme was "A Salute to the 1960s and Motown". The show featured songs of the Motown genre, as well as songs from the 1960s in general. That year's Super Bowl took place in Pontiac, Michigan, near the city of Detroit, where the genre Motown traced its roots. The show lasted thirteen minutes. Logistics Up with People's cast featured more than 430 individuals from 24 nations. The performers spent more than three weeks in the Detroit area in advance of the game, with some rehearsal taking place at an indoor facility located at the University of Michigan. The show featured a modular set erected on the playing field. Setlist Medley: "The Twist"/"Cool Jerk"/"Monster Mash"/"Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini"/"Wipeout"/"Surfin' U.S.A." Medley: "Little GTO"/"Dancing in the Street"/"Uptight (Everything's Alright)"/"Stop! In the Name of Love"/"I Heard It Through the Grapevine"/"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" Medley: "Scarborough Fair"/"Michael, Row the Boat Ashore"/"Abraham, Martin & John" Medley: "Can't Buy Me Love"/"All You Need Is Love"/"Hey Jude"/"Let The Sunshine In" "Up with People" Critical reception Contemporary reception Joe Lapointe of the Detroit Free Press called the show, "ironic and sort of sad". Roger Fischer of the Tampa Bay Times likened the show to, "a Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters prime time affair", and opined that the broadcast time allotted to showing the performance would have been better used to provide further game analysis. Geoff Hobson of the Press & Sun-Bulletin wrote negatively of the show. He criticized the decision to have Up with People perform, instead of the marching band of the University of Michigan (located relatively near the site of that year's Super Bowl). He opined that the show, "should have been shot for impersonating a Norman Rockwell painting. Painted smiles on painted faces perched on platinum peaks. Singing cliches in outfits that looked older than the songs they sang from the 1960s." Retrospective reception In a 2010 retrospective look at Super Bowl halftime shows, the San Francisco Chronicle ranked the Super XVI halftime show as the worst in history, up through 2010. While critical of all of Up with People's appearances, the piece considered their 1982 halftime appearance to be their worst, writing, "The group's ‘Salute to Motown and the 1960s’ was the worst of its four Super Bowl appearances. The performances featured the whitest people in the world performing music mostly identified with African-American culture. Imagine watching the cast of ‘Bonanza’ performing in a Tyler Perry play". In response to this piece, in 2013, Doug Williams of ESPN noted, "to be fair, Up With People had several African-American performers that year". In a 2013 article, Sports Illustrated ranked the show as the seventh-worst halftime show (up through 2012), writing that the show, "featured the band's super smiley/creepy attitude". Contrarily, a 2012 The Washington Times article gave the performance a positive retrospective look, ranking it the ninth-best Super Bowl halftime show up through 2012, considering it to be enjoyably wholesome in comparison to more modern Super Bowl halftime shows, writing that Up with People, "were as inoffensive as puppies eating ice cream and apple pie". Additionally, a 2017 mlive article by Edward Pevos considered the show to have been "fun". Super Bowl XX halftime show (1986) The Super Bowl XX halftime show was the fourth (and final) Super Bowl halftime show headlined by Up with People, and the fifth overall Super Bowl halftime show in which they performed. The theme of the show was "Beat of the Future". The show itself was given the title "Room for Everyone". Logistics The show was directed by John Gonzalez. Up with People's music director for the show was Annette Wilkins. Up with People's cast for the show featured between 500 and members. The 10-ton, stage utilized for the performance was transported to the venue from an airport near New Orleans Airport at midnight several days before the game, with some streets being closed and a police escort accompanying the convoy of seven trucks carrying the oversize load of the stage. A three minute commercial break before the performance was allotted for the set-up of the stage. For the performance, a gondola carrying of lighting equipment was lowered from the stadium's rafters. Five tons of theatrical lighting was used in the performance. The NFL refused to allow Up with People to turn off the venue's stadium lighting, fearing that there would be a risk that the lightning might fail to turn back on after the performance. To deal with this, blackout screens were placed to help darken the venue. Space-focused artist Robert McCall (who worked with NASA) designed the sets for the show. Some of the individuals that had organized the 1984 Summer Olympics closing ceremony helped to come up ideas for incorporating crowd participation into the show. The show was scheduled to last 12 minutes. There were reports that Up with People was given US$30 million in return for organizing the halftime show. Synopsis The halftime performance was dedicated in memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. It featured a taped segment with Bill Cosby and Lily Tomlin encouraging Americans to participate in the upcoming Hands Across America demonstration. In the performance, dancers acted out various scenes portraying the future. The setlist was a mix of slower-paced songs and up-beat tunes. The show's setlist featured contemporary 1980s songs. Setlist "Beat of the Future" "Talkin' With My Feet" Medley: "Born in the U.S.A."/"The Power of Love"/"I Just Called to Say I Love You"/"Theme from Footloose" Medley: "Room For Everyone"/"We'll Be There" Critical reception Contemporary reception In an article negative towards the performance, Dick Shippy of the Akron Beacon Journal called the show, "one of the dumbest halftime shows ever conceived". Shippy called the show "ludicrous". He criticized the inclusion of the appeal for participation in Hands Across America (a demonstration against hunger in the United States), writing, "there could be no more inappropriate place for such an appeal than a Super Bowl game. Anything connected with Super Bowl and Super Bowl Week screams of conspicuous consumption." Shippy went on to criticize the dedication of the performance to Martin Luther King Jr., writing, "only a little bit behind in the bitter irony category was the Up with People halftime tribute to Dr. Martin Liuther King Jr. Do you have a feeling that a pitch for brotherhood, made at a Roman circus, is something less than heartfelt?" Ahead of the game, Alan Greenberg of the Hartford Courant was critical of the decision to again have Up with People perform the halftime show, opining that Up with People, "is a horribly bad, boring, group that always succeeds in making even the worst NFL game seem interesting by comparison". Also ahead of the game, Bill Modoono of The Pittsburgh Press noted that the "perpetual cheeriness" of Up with People makes some viewers, "nauseous". Retrospective reception In a 2013 Bleacher Report article, Matt King ranked the Super Bowl XX halftime show as the fifth-worst halftime show up to the previous year. A 2017 mlive article by Edward Pevos considered the mix of slower songs and upbeat tunes to be "bizarre", and opined that, despite its theme, the show failed to look futuristic. Pevos further opined that the show, "didn't match the fun" of Up with People's preceding performance at Super Bowl XVI. In a 2020 Lineups article, Tyler Worthington ranked this the sixth-worst halftime show up through 2020, writing, "Up With People is a music group that didn't do anything excited and just had us hoping that the game would get started again. This was their last performance and by the reception of these performances, I think that is for the better." In a 2013 article, Sports Illustrated ranked the show as the sixth-worst halftime show (up through 2012). Commenting on it being their last halftime performance, the magazine opined that their departure from the Super Bowl halftime scene came, "not a moment too soon." Super Bowl XXV pre-game show (1991) Up with People performed the Super Bowl XXV pre-game show. This was their last appearance as Super Bowl performers. Overall retrospective critical reception of halftime performances Retrospective looks at the Super Bowl halftime shows Up with People performed have been negative. A 2010 San Francisco Chronicle article opined, "I hope you were throwing the football in your front yard during halftime shows in the 1970s and early 1980s, which all seemed to feature Up With People or Carol Channing. Up With People always had a creepy-weird cultish quality, with exaggerated dance moves, brightly colored yet chaste clothing and industrial-grade happiness." In a 2013 Bleacher Report article, writer Matt King criticized the perennial inclusion of Up with People at the Super Bowl, calling them, "a bland group that sang bland music in a bland fashion". In an 2022 Adweek article, Robert Klara negatively looked back at Up with People as halftime performers, describing them as a "treacly (and overwhelmingly white) dance troupe". In a 2021 Yardbarker article, Daniel Tran collectively ranked Up with People's four headlining Super Bowl halftime appearances as the worst halftime shows up through 2020, writing that the shows featured, "grown adults singing and dancing with cult-like enthusiasm and soulless eyes," and opining that the four shows, "will forever be the worst and probably most terrifying series of Super Bowl halftime performances ever." In a 2022 Athlon Sports article, Aaroon Allen collectively ranked Up with People's four headlining halftime appearances the 15th-worst of Super Bowl halftime shows out of 48 entries. In a 2022 Live365 article, Kathryn Milewski collectively ranked every Super Bowl halftime performance by Up with People as the fifth-worst Super Bowl halftime shows, opining, In a 2016 Houston Chronicle piece, characterizing Up With People's shows as belonging to a more "innocent era" of Super Bowl entertainment, Ken Hoffman described Up With People as, "the squeaky clean, optimistic and, sure, corny and slap-happy group of fresh-faced entertainers whose most sinister wardrobe malfunction was maybe a tilted American flag lapel pin." In pop culture In a parody of Up With People's halftime appearances on the long-running cartoon series The Simpsons, the fictional group "Hooray for Everything" (the show's recurring parody of Up With People) performed a football game halftime show with the theme "A Salute to the Western Hemisphere: The Dancin’-est Hemisphere of All!" in the season two episode "Bart vs. Thanksgiving".

Plasma treatment is a surface modification process for textiles that imparts various functional properties at a lower cost, with fewer chemical adverse effects, and with a reduced environmental impact all while maintaining important textile properties. Plasma After solid, liquid, and gas, plasma is referred to as the fourth state of matter. Non-thermal and cold plasma are used to modify the surfaces of textiles. Interactions with cold plasma have little effect on the bulk characteristics of textiles. When a cold plasma interacts with a material contained within it (substrate), a variety of events occur, individually or in combination. Four major types of effects are: Cross-linking, etching, functionalization, and the formation of a deposit on the substrate's surface. Advantages Plasma treatment in textiles can produce various functional properties, such as antimicrobial textiles, and water repellent textiles. In comparison to conventional finishing procedures, plasmas have the significant advantage of lower chemical, water, and energy use. Plasma treatment is environmentally friendly because it is comparable to a dry process. See also Textile performance References Textile treatments Properties of textiles Textile techniques
