Hazul (born 1981) is a Portuguese graffiti and street artist. Biography Hazul started painting in the street in 1997, at the age of 16. Hazul is one of Porto's most prominent street artists. In 2015 he published "Mapa Hazul", a script with dozens of murals that he made in the city of Porto. Though his work has been mostly focused in his home city, he has also had some exposure internationally, particularly in Paris, where he has painted many murals and exhibited his works in group and solo shows. A number of his commissioned murals are now considered landmarks in Porto, particularly his pieces by Trindade metro station and Estádio do Dragão, home of FC Porto. The distinctive style of his work is a very familiar sight around the streets of Porto. Municipality of Porto's anti-graffiti department often preserves his works, rather than removing them.

Modatima, the “Movement for the Defense of Access to Water, Land and Environmental Protection”, is an organization formed in Chile out of the Province of Petorca. The organization was created in 2010 as a response to increased water scarcity in the region caused by an ongoing drought and alleged water theft by local agribusiness, specifically large-scale avocado farmers. Motadima activists state that their mission is to make visible the conflicts over water in the region at a national scale and bring to light the commodification of water driven by the 1981 Water Code. Motadima has spoken at universities and held demonstrations across the country for their cause. The organization has expanded their presence to the regions of O’Higgins, Los Lagos, Arica & Parinacota and Metropolitana. Modatima has also joined La Red Vida, a transnational organization representing water and land rights across the Americas. People in the region of Petorca get their water delivered by truck with each person receiving 50 liters a day, lower than the national average use of 196 liter per day, per capita. Water is delivered by unmarked trucks, and resident have noted that water received is often discoloured and not clean. Studies have found that the water given to the community contains high levels of coliform. Threats Rodrigo Mundaca, the organizations director and spokesperson, along with other local water activists such as Veronica Vilches have received numerous death threats in relation to their activism. Mundaca faced charges and possible jail time in 2012 when he released names of businesses who had built illegal underground channels diverting water from the River Petorca to their farms.

Henry Kawahara (Japanese: ヘンリー川原), real name Yoshifumi Kawahara (Japanese: 川原義文), was a Japanese composer of avant-garde music. His music was an eclectic blend of experimental electronic, exotica and new age music. He referred to his music as "cyber-occult". Biography According to the notes for Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm, Kawahara was born in Fukuoka. Kawahara was very active in the 1990s, releasing at least 23 albums. However, his work fell into obscurity because they were sold at occult book stores instead of music stores. He was closely tied to occult bookstore Hachiman (:ja:八幡書店). He also worked with the new age label Green Energy, where he would produce albums for others as well. His albums were produced to accompany the Stargazer, an LED device he helped invent The occult themes that Kawahara explored do not refer to the occult in western esotericism. According to Hachiman's Sugen Takada, the idea was to look beyond common sense and rationalism. Hachiman's occult writings and rights to experimental Holophonics technology created the "cyber-occult" ideas explored by Kawahara's music. After 1996, Kawahara lost interest in stereo music. He produced the video game The DJ-Rom for Sony in 1998. He was diagnosed with adult-onset Still's disease, and moved to Cambodia, where he died in 2012. His music experienced a revival in popularity during the early 2020s, leading to the release of a compilation Kawahara compiled before his death, Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm.

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) is a combination of theoretical and practical training given to aircraft pilots to enable the pilot to prevent, recognise and recover from unusual attitudes and unexpected situations. In EASA states, all pilots undergoing training for the CPL, ATPL and MPL (multi-crew pilot licence) are given a basic UPRT course. Advanced UPRT (AUPRT or commonly just UPRT) refers to a regulated course of at least 5 hours theoretical instruction and 3 hours practical instruction. Since December 2019, this course is mandatory for all pilots before their first type rating course in multi-pilot operations. While the AUPRT course may be undertaken in an aerobatic aircraft, aerobatic training does not replace a UPRT course. Class- or type-related UPRT addresses a particular class or type of aircraft. In EASA states, airlines must include upset prevention and recovery training as part of their recurrent training, covering the syllabus every three years. In the United States, all Part 121 air carriers have been required to conduct UPRT since March 2019. Purpose From 2010 to 2014, loss of control in-flight represented approximately 30% of fatalities in scheduled commercial air transport. UPRT was adopted to address this safety problem. In addition to teaching techniques to recover from unusual attitudes, UPRT is intended to provide initial experience of g-forces that could be encountered in a commercial aeroplane, from approximately -1g to 2.5g, and to help a pilot gain angle-of-attack awareness. The psychological elements of the course include overcoming surprise and startle, developing counter-intuitive recovery skills, and developing self-confidence through upset recovery in a "real-world" environment. Techniques One mnemonic for upset recovery is "UPRT": Upset Push Roll Thrust On noticing an unusual flight condition, the pilot should first reduce the thrust, and push forward on the yoke to unstall the aircraft. An aircraft cannot be stalled at zero g. The pilot should then roll the shortest way to the horizon. Finally thrust can be increased and the aircraft stabilised. Other mnemonics include "power, push, roll, recovered". Differences from early-stage training According to the UK Civil Aviation Authority, UPRT recovery techniques should not be used for light aircraft. Light aircraft should be recovered from unusual attitudes with minimum height loss, with the technique "power, roll, pitch". The "power-pitch couple" in light aircraft is usually small, that is, the engine is positioned in line with the centre of gravity, so changes in power do not cause large changes in pitch. UPRT techniques are designed for jet aircraft, particularly with underslung engines where a large increase in thrust can cause the aircraft to pitch up (the "thrust-pitch couple").

Beneath Tones Floor is a live album by reed player Oluyemi Thomas, bassist Sirone, and drummer Michael Wimberly recorded at the Brecht Forum in New York City in 2008. It was released in 2010 by NoBusiness Records. Reception In a review for All About Jazz, John Sharpe wrote: "Part of the strength of this set... is the tension created as the three never totally cut loose. They simmer with fierce intent, occasionally flaring but avoiding total combustion. Another of the main attractions is the intersection between Sirone's rich so-deep-it-is-almost-subterranean bass and Thomas' bass clarinet. Working through insistent phrases with the vocalized edge of an Eric Dolphy, the reed man overlays a nervy yelp in the upper register onto his gruff exclamations, while he is nasal on the musette but full-toned and astringent on soprano saxophone. Wimberly colors the exchanges, stoking the fires when needed, but largely supplies unselfish support for the double act of celebrated protagonists." In a separate All About Jazz article, Tim Niland commented: "this beautiful package... makes for a fitting send off for the great bassist Sirone who passed away not long after this recording was completed... the music unfolds gradually, with a sense of calm dignity that shows the musicians compassion for the performance and the Cosmos at large. There is spaciousness amongst the trio that allows their music to develop in an organic and unhurried manner... The trio's ability to improvise together as a collective unit and to sculpt the sound world around them makes this an impressive recording that deserves careful consideration and close listening." Writing for Moment's Notice, Ed Hazell stated: "Oluyemi Thomas has said that music has an element of prayer in it. That's certainly true of the music on this album... its supplication, compassion, and sanctified joy is prayerful indeed. It's also artfully contrived free jazz improvisation that makes brilliant use of contrasts in color and texture, instrumentation, and structure... The trio... are sure hands at free jazz improvisation. Each improvisation develops organically at its own pace, and without any fixed plan... Thomas, Sirone, and Wimberly play with a fervor imparted by a belief that what they're creating is more majestic, vaster, than the individual. There's a genuine feeling of praise and celebration, a hope borne of faith in a spiritual realm, and an energy and urgency that's needed to break the bonds and illusions of this world and reach a higher truth. Beautiful stuff." Ken Waxman, in an article for JazzWord, remarked: "Sirone's tough strumming and col legno patterning add the appropriate connecting thread to the 10 tracks which flow seamlessly into one another. Wimberly... knows exactly how to color the proceedings; using cross sticking, focused rim shots and clattering rumbles... Sirone's death means this rare example of cohesive, in-the-moment improvising can never be repeated. Luckily someone had the foresight to record this program." Clifford Allen, writing for Paris Transatlantic, commented: "While Sirone is not the leader here, the recording presents him front and center, directing the improvisations with furious growling wisps and surges that crackle with electricity and dovetail with Thomas's bass clarinet squawk... Sirone was never as well documented as he should have been, so it's all the more wonderful that this fine release captures his artistry within this very sympathetic trio."

Bartholomew Mansel was the vicar of the diocese of Antioch, regent of Tripoli, and bishop of Tortosa around 1272, a post he held until 1291. Biography Bartholomew belonged to the important Frankish family of the Mansels in Antioch. He was probably the son of Robert Mansel, who was Constable of Antioch in 1207. Simon Mansel, Constable of Antioch, was probably his brother. He was maternally related to King Hethum I, as his father married his half-sister. In 1268, Bartholomew escaped the sack of Antioch, which was under the command of his brother Simon. He was appointed bishop of Tortosa when that see fell vacant in 1272. After the death of Bohemond VI in 1275, his widow, Sibylla, invited Bishop Bartholomew to act as regent for her young son, Bohemond VII. Since Bartholomew was also the vicar of the absentee patriarch of Antioch, Opizo dei Fieschi, this brought him into conflict with the bishop of Tripoli Paul of Segni. After he took up residence in Tripoli, Bartholomew, who outranked Paul both spiritually and secularly, sided with Paul's detractors among the native baronage. He also had a dispute with the Lord Guy II of Gibelet, which was provoked by the marriage of the heiress of Hugh l'Aleman to Guy's brother John, which preempted her marriage to Bartholomew's nephew. Bartholomew, acting as patriarchal vicar, absolved Bohemond of the excommunication issued by Pope Nicholas III, following a letter from Paul to the Pope in which he accused Bohemond of seizing his goods, imprisoning his servants and attacking his safehouse. He returned to Tortosa after the fall of Tripoli in 1289. On 3 August 1291, the Knight Templars and Bartholomew evacuated Tortosa, which had ceased to be a residential bishopric afterwards.

"Moonlit Night on the Dnieper" is an oil on canvas painting created in 1880 by Russian painter Arkhip Kuindzhi. Description The painting displays the banks of the Dnieper river at night during a full moon. The horizon line is heavily lowered, such that a very large portion of the painting is occupied by the sky. The moonlight is reflected by the river. History Kuindzhi began work on the painting in the summer and fall of 1880. After starting the painting process, he opened his studio to the public for two hours each Sunday for those who wished to see him working. Even before the painting's public exhibition, it was purchased from the workshop by Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich. Several of Kuindzhi's correspondents and friends visited the studio while he was working on the painting to see the work. These included Ivan Turgenev, Yakov Polonsky, Ivan Kramskoi, and Dmitri Mendeleev. When the painting was put on exhibition, it was done so in the hall of the Society for the Encouragement of Artists in Saint Petersburg. Kuindzhi was attentive to his paintings' lighting, and took extra precautions with "Moonlit Night." The painting was placed on a wall, the window curtains were lowered to block outside light, and an artificial light was centered on the painting to accentuate its features. Unusually, "Moonlit Night" was the only painting in the exhibition, made even more strange by its apparently humble nature. It was rather small, and was just a landscape. Regardless, a crowd formed outside with a long line to see the painting, and visitors had to be allowed inside in groups to avoid a crowd crush. According to some accounts, visitors believed that the painting was illuminated from behind using a lamp because the moonlight was so realistic, and sought to find the source of light during the exhibition.

Tetraacetylethane is the organic compound with the nominal formula [CH(C(O)CH3)2]2. It is a white solid that has attracted interest as a precursor to heterocycles and metal complexes. It is prepared by oxidation of sodium acetylacetonate: I2 + 2 NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 → [CH(C(O)CH3)2]2 + 2 NaI Reminiscent of the case of acetylacetone, tetraacetylethane exists as the enol, as established by X-ray crystallography. The two C3O2H rings are twisted with a dihedral angle near 90°. Many metal complexes have been prepared from the conjugate base of this ligand. One example is diruthenium(III) derivative [Ru(acac)2]2[C(C(O)CH3)2]2, which is closely related to ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate. References Diketones Chelating agents Ligands 3-Hydroxypropenals

The 1950 Geysir air crash (Icelandic: Geysisslysið) was a plane crash that occurred on 14 September 1950 when a Douglas C-54 Skymaster, christened Geysir, crashed on the southeastern parts of Bárðarbunga on the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. The crew of six survived the crash but had to wait several days until they were found by rescuers and brought of the glacier. The difficulties that arose during the rescue mission directly led to the creations of specialized air rescue units in Iceland. Crash and rescue Geysir was owned by Loftleiðir which had initially bought the airplane for international flights with passengers. Due to economic conditions in Iceland, Loftleiðir canceled passenger flights in 1950 and used its aircraft for freight transport for Seaboard & Western Airlines. On 14 September, Geysir was coming from Luxembourg City with a planned stopover in Reykjavík before heading on to its final destination of New York. On its way to Reykjavík, Geysir drifted considerably of course and around 22:50, one of its wings clipped Bárðarbunga, resulting in the aircraft crashing on the glacier. The crew of six survived the crash but where unable to contact anyone as the plane's radio equipment was destroyed. When Geysir failed to arrive and no contact could be made, a nationwide search for the plane started. Two and a half day after the crash, the crew managed to reach the emergency transmitter in the plane's rubber liferaft and send out an distress call. It was picked up by the Icelandic Coast Guard vessel Ægir, which was then off Skálar in Langanes. The first message read: "Location unknown, everyone alive." Later messages indicated that the plane had crashed on a glacier and that the crew had heard search planes fly over the crashsite the day before. The same day, the search and rescue plane Vestfirðingur found the wreckage and relayed its position. A specially equipped Douglas C-47 Dakota from the United States Air Force was sent from Greenland to aid in the rescue. The Skytrain landed on the glacier and took on the crew of Geysir, but failed several attempts to take-off again. A land based rescue expedition from Akureyri was also organized and reached the crash site the following day, and rescued both crews from the glacier. Cause The Air Accident Investigation Board concluded in its investigation that the root cause of the accident was a navigational error. Two of Geysir's crew, the aeronautical engineer and one of the pilots, as well as the air traffic controller on duty that night, were prosecuted for violating the Aviation Act laws and General Penal Code. The air traffic controller was acquitted but the aeronautical engineer was found guilty and lost his flight license for life and the pilot was fined 4.000 ISK. The investigation was heavily critizised as it did not look into whether the equipment on the plane had failed, whether the transmissions of the LORAN stations were deficient at the date of the crash, or whether the weather had any effect on the plane drifting of course. Meteorologist Trausti Jónsson later concluded from available data that an unusual, sharp and unexpected wind string for that time of the year carried the plane from its course, with the result that it came to land close to Berufjörður instead of Mýrdalur. Aftermath The problems that arose during the rescue operations directly led to the creations of specialized air rescue units in the country. The first one, Air Ground Rescue Team of Reykjavík (Icelandic:Flugbjörgunarsveit Reykjavíkur), was founded on 24 November 1950. A month after the crash, the Air Force attempted to rescue the stranded Dakota from the glacier but had to abandon the mission due to bad wheather. The following year, the plane, which was valued at 250.000 dollars, was sold to Loftleiðir for a reported 700 dollars. In april 1951, Loftleiðir set out a rescue party that spent 21-days digging up the plane from under 7 meters of snow and bringing it down from the glacier. The plane was christened Jökull and flew for Loftleiðir for several years. In film Biðin langa: A documentary about the crash that premiered on RÚV in 1987.

Jacob J. Blahnik (August 23, 1881 - early 1954) was an American farmer, businessman, teacher and legislator from Algoma, Wisconsin. He served one term as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from the Kewaunee County seat, and was an unsuccessful candidate for various other offices. Background Blahnik was born in the town of Ahnapee in Kewaunee County, son of Jacob Blahnik Sr. and Catherine (or Katherine) (Goettinger, Gettinger or Göttinger) Blahnik, both natives of Bohemia., and was educated in the public schools. He attended the University of Wisconsin, spent two years as a schoolteacher, worked as an assessor, and helped re-organize the local telephone company. Before election to the Assembly, he had served as a director of the local federal land bank, the Algoma Farmers Cooperative, and the Bank of Algoma, and was an examining committee member of the latter; but in 1930 he described his occupation as "farmer". Public office General Assembly After defeating former Assemblyman August Fenske in the 1930 Democratic primary election (with 157 votes to Fenske's 67), Blahnik defeated Republican incumbent Anton Schauer and former Republican Assemblyman Anton Holly (who had lost the Republican primary to Schauer), with 1663 votes to Schauer's 1511 and Holly's 1129. Blahnik is listed in some sources as a Progressive, and was endorsed by the Kewaunee County Progressive organization (which had backed a third candidate) after Schauer won the primary; but Blahnik had won the Democratic primary against Fenske, and served in the Assembly as a Democrat. He was assigned to the standing committees on commerce and manufactures, and on elections. In the spring legislative session, a bill introduced by Blahnik to reduce the salaries of all state workers and officials making more than $90 a month (later modified to $150) drew a great deal of attention, but little support. Blahnik argued that this would give the workers and officials a chance to display patriotism, and provide relief from taxes for farmers. At a hearing to discuss the bill, Blahnik was the only witness in its favor. He also drew attention for his proposal that the legislature petition President Hoover to suspend enforcement of Prohibition "during the present period of economic depression", declaring that the general welfare should take precedence over the Constitution in such critical times. He had more luck with a bill to exempt horses, mules, wagons, carriages, sleighs and harness from personal property tax, as had just been done with automobiles. A committee of representatives from farm organizations later announced a renewed push for Blahnik's wage-cut bill, explaining that because of the lower prices of farm products, farmers' expenses must be reduced by cutting prices, and that Wisconsin was called upon to set an example in order to push private employers to slash wages nationwide and then cut prices paid by farmers. Run for Congress, and after In 1932, rather than seek re-election to the Assembly as previously reported, Blahnik ran for the Democratic nomination for the newly-redistricted Wisconsin's 8th congressional district. He lost, coming in third behind eventual victor James F. Hughes and William Wright (also of Kewaunee). He almost immediately announced that he would run for the Congressional seat anyway, and for his old Assembly seat as well, as an independent. Although he would later tell a Madison reporter that this announcement was made "in a spirit of humor", he did eventually file for his own Assembly seat, drawing only 105 votes to Democratic nominee Albert Shimek's 3,663 and Republican Joseph M. Mleziva's 2,170. He ran again for the Democratic nomination in 1934, losing the primary to Shimek by 589 to 1,184; and ran in the general election as an "Independent Progressive Democrat", polling 716 votes to Shimek's 2,525 and Progressive Oscar Berg's 2,089. He did the same thing in 1936, drawing 776 votes to Shimek's 985, and this time running in the general as an "Independent Democrat", coming in second with 1,546 votes to Shimek's 2,704, Progressive Arthur Johns' 1,160 and Republican Emil Leitschow's 987. Later years By 1950, he had been living in Green Bay for five years, and ran in the Democratic primary for the Assembly district for Green Bay against the incumbent, Robert E. "Bobby" Lynch. He had been working for various Green Bay firms, having retired after 32 years of farming in Kewaunee County. He lost to Lynch, who drew 2,911 votes to Blahnik's 795. In February 1953, he was a candidate for the joint position of alderman-county supervisor in Green Bay's sixth ward, by which time he had been in that city for eight years. He was a widower with one child. In February 1954 an announcement was published in the Press-Gazette to settle his estate, although no date of death was given. Online genealogical websites claim that the date of death was January 30, 1954; that he had married Emma Nolde (1883–1945) on November 20, 1900; and that their daughter Valeria Catherin (1910-1996) was the only child to outlive him.

Alexandrades () is a settlement in the Greek island of Kythira. According to the 2011 census, it has 32 residents. History Although it is uncertain when Alexandrades was first inhabited, there is substantial proof it has been since at least the 14th century. According to archaeological research that has been conducted, there was an old cemetery within the settlement, that indicated it has been inhabited for a long time. Alexandrades was first mentioned by its modern name in the 16th century, as well as in numerous contracts dating back to 1565. Additionally, Alexandrades was mentioned in some of the uncompleted works in Petros Kastrofylakas' census from 1583. During the 18th century, the Goudianika (Γουδιάνικα) settlement was often referred to as Alexandrades as well. It is assumed that Alexandrades had a bigger population in earlier years, since on the 1715 Ottoman census, it was divided into 4 parishes, those being St. Ioannou, St. Georgiou, St. Triados and St. Leou. Archistratigos parish was also considered part of Alexandrades during the 18th century. In the Venetian censuses, among other sources, the Kamaria district is mentioned, which was a parish of St. Georgios. In the past, not only did Alexandrades have a bigger population, but it also took up more land. Name It is unsure where the name Alexandrades (Αλεξανδράδες) derives from. It is quite rare for Kythirian location names to end with -άδες. During the 16th century, there was at least 1 person whose surname was Alexandris (Αλεξανδρής) in Alexandrades, after whom the settlement could have possibly been named. This was the only found reference to this specific surname in the area, leading to the assumption that this was either one of the last references to the surname in question, or that references to it are generally scarce. Geography Alexandrades Kythiron is located in Kythira, an Ionian Island, and belongs to the Islands regional unit. It has an altitude of 330 metres, a latitude of 36° 12' 06.69" N and a longitude of 22° 59' 52.7" E Population References Villages in Greece Kythira

The Persecution of Yazidis by Muslim Kurds describes the historical massacres of the Yazidis committed by Muslim Kurdish tribes since at least the 10th century. Sometimes, during these massacres, the Muslim Kurds tried to force the Yazidis to convert to Islam. Almost the whole Yazidi population were nearly wiped out by massacres carried out by the Kurds in the 19th century. While modern persecution describes a takeover of Yazidi settlement areas with simultaneous assimilation of the Yazidis by the Kurdistan Region. History Historically, there were many massacres of Yazidis committed by Kurds. In the 10th century the Kurds started persecuting the Yazidis in the Hakkari mountains. The Kurds persecuted the Yazidis with particular brutality. In the year 1832, about 70,000 Yazidis were killed by the Kurdish leaders Bedir Khan Beg and Muhammad Pasha Rawanduz. During his research trips in 1843, the Russian traveller and orientalist Ilya Berezin mentioned that 7,000 Yazidis were killed by Kurds on the hills of Nineveh near Mosul, shortly before his arrival. According to many historical reports, these massacres can today be classified as "genocide". In 1414, the Kurds killed the Yazidis in the mountains of Hakkari. Then the Kurds destroyed the holy temple Lalish of the Yazidis and desecrated the tomb of Sheikh Adi. Later, the Yazidis rebuilt their temple and the tomb of Sheikh Adi. In 1831, the Kurdish emir Muhammad Pasha Rawanduz (Mire Kor, the blind prince) moved with his army to the village of Kellek and had putting the inhabitants of this Yazidi village to the sword. Then he went northward and attacked the entire Yazidi-inhabited foothill country east of Mosul. Thousands of Yazidi men, women and children were killed by his army. Some Yazidis managed to take refuge in the neighboring forests and mountain fastnesses, and a few managed to escape to distant places. In 1832, the Kurdish emir Muhammad Pasha Rawanduz with his troops committed a massacre on the Yazidis in Khatarah. Subsequently, the Kurds attacked the Yazidis in Shekhan and killed many of them. In another attempt he and his troops occupied over 300 Yazidi villages. The Kurds kidnapped over 10,000 Yazidis to Rawandiz. Then they gave them the option to convert to Islam or to be killed. Most of them converted to Islam and the rest who refused were killed. In 1832, the Kurdish emir Bedir Khan Beg (Mire Botan, the prince of Bohtan) with his troops committed a massacre on the Yazidis in Shekhan. The Kurds have killed almost the whole Yazidi population of Shekhan. Some Yazidis tried to escape to Sinjar. By the attempt to escape to Sinjar, many Yazidis have going into the Tigris river. Those Yazidis who could not swim were killed by the Kurds. About 12,000 Yazidis were killed on the bank of the Tigris river by the Kurds. Kurds also kidnapped many Yazidi women and children. In 1833, the Yazidis were attacked in the Aqrah region again by the Kurdish emir Muhammad Pasha Rawanduz and his soldiers. The Kurds killed 500 Yazidis in the upper Zab. After that, the Kurds attacked the Yazidis in Sinjar and killed many of them. In 1844, the Kurdish emir Bedir Khan Beg committed a repeated massacre on the Yazidis in the Tur Abdin region. Many Yazidis were killed by the Kurds. The Kurds have also captured many Yazidis to force them to convert to Islam. Seven Yazidi villages have been forced to Islam and have converted. In 1915–1923, Yazidis were killed alongside Armenians during the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Kurds. More than 300,000 Yazidis were killed. Many Yazidis have also fled to Transcaucasia. Modern times Since 2003, when the Kurds occupied the settlements of the Yazidis in the disputed territories of Northern Iraq, the Yazidis were undergoing a process of Kurdification by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). According to a report by Human Rights Watch, the Kurdish authorities have used heavy-handed tactics against the Yazidis and some Yazidis were kidnapped and beaten by the KRG. There have also been some demographic changes in Yazidi-majority areas after the fall of Saddam. In the Sheikhan area, which is considered a historic Yazidi stronghold, the Kurdish authorities have settled Sunni Kurds to strengthen their claim that it should be a Kurdish area. Resistance of the Yazidis Some years ago, the Yazidis were a very powerful tribe. The most powerful tribe of the Yazidis inhabits the mountain of Sinjar. Many Yazidis also defended themselves against the Kurdish attacks. So did Ali Beg, the Yazidi leader in Sheikhan. Yazidi leader Ali Beg used his forces to oppose Kurdish leader Muhammad Pasha Rawanduz, who mobilized the Kurdish tribes of the surrounding mountains to attack the Yazidis. Ali Beg's troops were outnumbered and Ali Beg was captured and killed by the Bey of Rawandiz. Kurdish view The relations between the Yazidis and the Kurds were often tense. Most Kurds view the Yazidis as so-called "unbelievers". In the past, this view of the Kurds often led to massacres and forced conversions on the Yazidis. Kurdish muftis have given the persecution of Yazidis by Kurds a religious character and legalized it. Also Kurdish mullahs such as Mahmud Bayazidi viewed the Yazidis as unbelievers.

Raid on the White Tiger Regiment (Chinese: 奇袭白虎团) is a Chinese revolutionary opera and one of the eight "model plays" permitted during the Cultural Revolution. Set during the Korean War, it depicts a victory of the Chinese and Korean communists over South Korean and American forces. Production Music for Raid on the White Tiger Regiment was composed and arranged by Gong Guotai (born 1946), incorporating some aspects of Korean folk music; the script was collaboratively written in 1957 by four members of Shandong Provincial Peking Opera Troupe, and was first performed by members of the People's Volunteer Army. It received its first major staging in 1964 at a national Peking opera festival; it was revised under Mao Zedong's instructions in 1965–66. The Cambridge History of China noted that continuous revision of the model operas tended to remove any "shades of grey" from the moral depictions of the heroes and villains, and to remove any trace of "bourgeois" behaviour from the heroes. Synopsis July 1953: during the Korean War, Yang Yucai leads a People's Volunteer Army raid against the White Tiger Regiment of the South Korean Capital Mechanized Infantry Division, who are planning to sabotage peace talks by invading the North. With the help of a Korean girl, Sister Choi, the Chinese troops destroy Tiger Regiment HQ and set the conditions for a successful counterattack, in cooperation with the Korean People's Army. Performance Deng Xiaoping refused to watch Raid on the White Tiger Regiment in 1964, instead insisting on a performance of Sisters Exchange Bridegrooms, perceived as a slight on the Gang of Four. In 1972, it was made into a film by the Changchun Film Studio.

Sodium acetylacetonate is an organic compound with the nominal formula Na[CH(C(O)CH3)2]. This white, water-soluble solid is the conjugate base of acetylacetone. Preparation The compound is prepared by deprotonation of acetylacetone: NaOH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 + H2O The anhydrous compound is produced by deprotonation with sodium hydride in an aprotic solvent such as THF: NaH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 + H2 Reactions Oxidation of the salt gives tetraacetylethane. With metal salts, it reacts to give metal acetylacetonate complexes. Alkylation of sodium acetylacetonate can result in both O-alkylation and C-alkylation. The former gives the enol ether and the latter gives 3-substituted derivative of acetylacetone. Structure The structure of the monohydrate has been established by X-ray crystallography. The sodium cation is bonded to the enolate oxygen centers. References Diketones Chelating agents Ligands 3-Hydroxypropenals

Edward Markley (September 5, 1939 - January 14, 2019) was an American Catholic Benedictine monk and priest. In 1985, Markley was arrested and convicted to five years in jail after he vandalized an abortion clinic with a sledgehammer. Life Markley was born on September 5, 1939, and took vows as a monk at St. Bernard Abbey on June 12, 1960. He was later ordained to the Catholic priesthood on June 10, 1966. On April 29, 1978, Markley, along with three students, was arrested at the Birmingham Women's Medical Clinic, after organizing a sit-in to protest abortion. On May 19, the four were convicted of trespassing, with Birmingham city Judge Tennant Smallwood fining Markley $50. On May 12, 1984, Markley, along with one other man, used a sledgehammer to destroy equipment at the abortion clinic, destroying an estimated $8,000 in equipment. That year, Markley also splashed the Women's Community Health Center in Huntsville with red paint. He was ordered to pay $2,400, but he refused and was arrested. He then spent 30 days in prison until an anonymous donor paid. On June 16, 1986, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison, ineligible for parole, after violating probation terms to stay 500 feet away from abortion clinics. Markley reported that he did not find jail too bad and was pleased to gain some firsthand knowledge of it, having taught criminology courses in the past. Markley's superior, Bishop Joseph Vath, issued a statement supportive of his actions, stating, "If we are convinced that abortion is the taking of innocent life according to God’s revealed word, he is not acting unjustly according to God’s law in defending the innocent unborn one...The right to life certainly supersedes the right to property or to privacy." Markley died peacefully at approximately 8:20 AM, January 14, 2019, at the age of 79, in the St. Bernard Abbey at Cullman. The Abbey announced his death with a statement that said "He was an exemplary monk, who will be greatly missed by his brothers."

The Criminal Jurisdiction Act 1802 (42 Geo. III c.85) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. In the wake of the attempted impeachment of Warren Hastings, it legislated for the Court of King's Bench to try and punish past, present and future offences by colonial officials and military officers as if they had been committed in Middlesex, Westminster or any county where the offender resided (Sections 1 and 6). It also enabled that court to obtain evidence from governors, local courts and others in the area where the offence occurred by writ of mandamus (Section 2) and made other provisions for the gathering of that evidence (Sections 3–4) as well as applying the usual perjury laws (Section 5). The Act thus applied more widely the provisions of the Governors of Plantations Act 1698 and the East India Company Acts of 1772 and 1784 and was later extended to offences under the Official Secrets Act 1889. Part of Sections 2 to 6 of the Act were repealed as to the UK by Section 2 of Public Works Loans Act 1892, words from Section 1 by the Criminal Justice Act 1948 and Sections 2 to 6 in their entirety by the Statute Law Revision Act 1964 - there are no remaining outstanding effects from the Act.

Cyaxares I one of the Near East tribal rulers of the end of the 8th century BC. Cyaxares I, who, according to Berosus and Abydenus, was also called Astyages ( i.e. , Ashdahak ), and also Astyages , the father of Cyaxares II History In two Assyrian inscriptions from the time of Sargon II, when listing the petty Median tribal rulers, a certain Uksatar is mentioned. In one of the inscriptions under 714 BC. e. among the twenty-six Median rulers, he is mentioned with the title "ruler of the river" (ša nārti), which a number of researchers are trying to identify with the Ecbatana region. In another inscription, relating to the 8th campaign of Sargon II, it is reported that the Median prince Uksatar paid tribute in Parsava (land of the Persians) southeast of Lake Urmia. The very record of the name of this person, which is read in cuneiform as Uksatar, is identified by some researchers with the name of the later well-known Median king Cyaxares, and thus, they consider this ruler Cyaxares I, and the Herodotus Cyaxares - Cyaxares II. Opinions were expressed that "Cyaxares" was not the name, but the title of the ruler. This Cyaxares was also tried to be identified with Deioces (Assyrian Daiukku), whose name is also mentioned in another inscription of Sargon II as the name of a captured tribal king or judge of the Medes or Manneans, and sometimes with the son of Deioces Phraortes.
