John Walter Lea (1827 - February 29, 1888) was a prominent lay Church of England author affiliated with the later Tractarian Movement. He was a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the Geological Society of London. The younger of a pair of twins (his brother died during childbirth), Lea was born at Blakebrook, Kidderminster with one arm, and this was considered an impediment to ordination in the Church of England. He received the B.A. at Wadham College, Oxford in 1848. He was a major figure in the early activities of the English Church Union, on the council of which he served from 1871 to 1888. He died in St Mary's Church, Plaistow.

Malaverd is an archaeological site in the north of Kermanshah, in Iran. It is located in the Tang-e Malaverd valley, at the western end of Mount Meywala, about from the west of Taq-e Bostan. Malaverd is one of the Paleolithic cave sites in the south of Mount Meywala. This site was recorded during a survey conducted be Fereidoun Biglari in 1999 and registered in the Iran National Heritage List in 2005.
The site was excavated by a team of archaeologists under the direction of Sonia Shidrang in August 2012.
The site contained a 170 cm thick sequence of archaeological deposits. The excavations revealed that the cave was occupied during the Middle Paleolithic ( 60,000 to 40,000 years ago), Upper Paleolithic ( 35,000 to 28,000 years ago), Chalcolithic, Iron Age III, and Parthian. The cave is the first Upper Paleolithic site in the Kermanshah region that was excavated by an Iranian archaeologist and the first dated Upper Paleolithic site in the region.
The other important cave site near Malaverd is Do-Ashkaft Cave.

Anigozanthos onycis, the branched catspaw, is a rarely seen plant found in Southwest Australia.
Taxonomy
Anigozanthos onycis was first described by Alex George in 1974. George assigned the epithet onycis for the clawed appearance of the flower when opened, derived from the Greek onyx (a talon or claw). The unknown species was brought to the attention of the author in 1962, at a flower show in Kalgoorlie (500 km beyond its known range), but the source of this specimen was not determined. A collection made by Honor Venning was presented to the Western Australian Herbarium in 1969, and another made by Bob Dixon, obtained from a private property south of the Stirling Range in 1972, was used by George for its formal description.
The common name branched catspaw distinguishes the flowering scape of A. onycis from other species known as catspaws: A humilis, A. preissii and A. kalbarriensis, smaller species of Anigozanthus. Catspaw is presumed to have been applied as a diminutive of kangaroo paw, the collective name of the genus.
Description
A species of Anigozanthus, the kangaroo paws and catspaws, which have single leaves emerging from a rhizome and tubular flowers presented on a scape. The leaves of this species are broadly keel-shaped on profile, their length is around 50 to 500 mm long. The color of the flowers is creamy to slightly reddish, these are presented in racemes on branched scapes that are 150 to 300 mm tall. The flowering season is September to October, earlier than most Anigozanthus species. They are periodically abundant in open woodlands cleared by fire, providing a conspicuous display of flowers against a blackened landscape.
Anigozanthos onycis emerges after summer fires, growing and setting seed in the first year and losing vigour in the second if the plant survives at all. This short lifespan only allows the size of the plant to reach around 200 mm in width, presenting fewer leaves than others of the genus. The reproductive strategy within its fire prone habitat is as a seeder, relying on a seedbank that is triggered by fire rather than resprouting from their rhizome. The sole pollinator is the tawny-crowned honeyeater (Gliciphila melanops), a nectar feeder that has specialised in the same habitat.
The branched catspaw is allied to Anigozanthos humilis and A. preissii. The common catspaw, Anigozanthos humilis subsp. humilis, has a similar appearance and naturally hybridises with this species. A widely grown cultivar named Anigozanthos 'Dwarf Delight' was developed by hybridising A. onycis with the kangaroo paw A. flavidus.
Distribution
The known distribution range is restricted to a semi-arid area near the south coast of Western Australia, within the Southwest Australia bioregion known as the Esperance Plains. Anigozanthos onycis was described from specimens obtained in sandy heathland between the Stirling Range and Green Range outcrops. It as relatively rare, occurring over a widespread range between the Murchison River and Albany, and extending to Bremer Bay in the east. The species was later found in the Fitzgerald River National Park, emerging after a large bushfire in 1989 and disappearing again in 1991.
The preferred habitat is sandy woodlands or adjacent to swamps, on white or grey sand, at the well drained soils of slopes and the top of hills.

Balbirnie Stone Circle is an archaeological site, a stone circle on the north-eastern edge of Glenrothes, in Fife, Scotland. The site was in use from the late Neolithic period to the late second millennium BC.
The prehistoric ceremonial complex of Balfarg is nearby; the scheduling for Balfarg states that "the Balfarg complex, together with the nearby stone circle at Balbirnie and other sites in their vicinity, form one of the most important groups of monuments of Neolithic and Bronze Age date in eastern Scotland."
Description
The stone circle was originally at . The site was excavated in 1970–1971 by Graham Ritchie, before planned widening of the A92 road; the main features of the site were then re-erected nearby at .
Excavation
There were five stones visible before excavation; the stumps of four stones and the hole of one stone were discovered. The original ten stones stood in an ellipse measuring about , around a rectangular setting of slabs measuring .
Three phases of use were established by the excavation. The rectangle of slabs and the stone circle are from the earliest period. Cremated bone was found beneath four of the circle-stones.
At a later time, several cists were inserted within the circle. In two of these, two stones with cup and ring marks and cup marks had been re-used as a side-slab for the cist. Grave goods found included a Food Vessel and a flint knife. Radiocarbon dating of wood associated with a cist gave a date of about 1330 BC. The cists were, in the third phase, covered by a cairn of stones, filling the area within the standing stones up to a height of . Within the cairn, there were at least 16 creamation burials. Radiocarbon dating of the land surface that had accumulated within the circle gave a date of about 890 BC; it was concluded that the last phase was in the late second millennium BC.

In the first half of the 20th century, the Munich art dealer Julius Böhler was one of the largest and most important art dealers in the German-speaking world.
History
The art dealer was founded in 1880 by Julius Böhler (1860-1934), who acquired a property at Brienner Strasse 12, where he built anItalian palazzo style building. His sons - Julius Wilhelm Böhler (1883-1966, also known as "Lulu") and Otto Alfons Böhler (1887-1950) - joined the business as partners in 1906 and 1910 respectively. The latter, together with the Cologne-born art dealer Fritz Steinmeyer (1880-1959), founded the "Kunsthandlung Böhler und Steinmeyer" in New York City, which offered items on consignment from Munich. Julius Wilhelm Böhler remained a partner in the Munich branch until 1954.
In 1919, Julius Wilhelm Böhler moved to Lucerne, where he founded the "Kunsthandel AG Luzern" with Fritz Steinmeyer. At the beginning of 1928, they also expanded to New York - with the participation of circus entrepreneur John Ringling - and the company "Böhler & Steinmeyer Inc." "Kunsthandel AG Luzern" and the "Kunsthaus Julius Böhler" in Munich were shareholders of "Böhler & Steinmeyer Inc." which lasted until 1935. They also tried to gain a foothold in Berlin, but the branch did not last long.
From 1928, Julius Wilhelm's son, Julius Harry Böhler (1907-1979), managed the Munich parent house together with his uncle Otto Alfons and the art historian Hans Sauermann (1885-1960), who had joined the company in 1916 and was a partner from 1922 to 1956. Fritz Steinmeyer joined the company as a silent partner in 1926. The company founder Julius Böhler retired as a partner in 1930. The company had close relations with Kleinberger in Paris and New York.
Nazi era
As an "Aryan" run business, the Kunsthandlung was able to continue trading during the Nazi period. From 1936 to 1938, four auctions were held. These included the estate of Margarethe Oppenheim as well as works from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Together with Karl Haberstock, the gallery acquired a large part of the Felix Gutmann Collection.
The investigators of the Art Looting Investigation Unit considered Julius Böhler Jr. to be deeply involved in Nazi-looted art, writing in their official report in 1946:
"Boehler, Julius Jr. Munich, Briennerstrasse 12. Grandson of the late Julius Boehler of Munich; son of Julius Boehler Sr of Lucerne. Partner of Sauermann. Close contact of Haberstock. Strong Nazi. Travelled in Holland and Italy. With Haberstock, purchased an important section of the Gutmann collection."
Postwar
After 1945, the three managing directors, Julius Harry Böhler, Otto Alfons Böhler and Hans Sauermann, resumed business relatively quickly. In 1956, Julius Gustav Böhler (1929-2010), the grandson of the company's founder, joined the company as a partner and became sole owner after the death of his father Julius Harry in 1979. The company continued to maintain its position as one of the most important art dealers in Munich. In 2004 - after 124 years - the headquarters in Munich were given up. Still family-owned, the "Kunsthaus Julius Böhler" continues its tradition at the location in Starnberg under the management of Florian Eitle-Böhler.
Archive
Business records of the Böhler art trade have been stored in the Bavarian Business Archives in Munich since 1996. The sub-stores include stock books from 1880 to 1976, correspondence from 1931 to 1976, and stock books and correspondence from the branch office in Lucerne. As of 2015, 34,600 index cards on all traded objects, an archive of 7831 photo folders (from 1918), and a Munich customer file on private and institutional customers are also collected at the Munich Central Institute for Art History. The indexing and documentation of this data collection is supported by the Ernst von Siemens Art Foundation and the German Center for the Loss of Cultural Property. The material is being processed at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte for a research database.
Restitution claims for artworks that passed through Böhler (selection)
In 2004, the Burrell collection in Glasgow was told by a government panel to restitute an artwork that it had acquired through Julius Bohler. La Pate de Jambon, attributed to Pierre Chardin, had belonged to a Jewish family who were forced to sell it under the Nazi regime
In 2011: Portrait of a young woman with a drawing instrument by Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein was restitued to the Rosauer heirs by Dresden’s Gemäldegalerie. Seized by the Nazis in 1938, it was acquired in 1938 in Vienna for 800 Reichsmark by Julius Böhler who then sold it in 1940 for 4,500 Reichsmark to Hans Posse, Director of the Dresden Gemäldegalerie and head of Hitler’s SpecialCommission Linz.
In 2012 the Landesmuseum Württemberg returned two renaissance clocks to the heirs of Eugen Gutmann, founder of the Dresdner Bank. "The clocks had been the subject of a forced sale to the Nazi dealer Julius Böhler of Munich in 1942 by Gutmann's son, Fritz, who lived in The Netherlands and was subsequently deported with his wife and murdered."

SC was an American-made air and surface-search radar used during World War II by the United States Navy. Variations include SC-1, SC-2 and SC-3.
Overview
They were a longwave search sets, installed on destroyers and larger ships to search for planes and surface vessels and for control of interception. All sets have an "A" scope, provision for Identification friend or foe (IFF) connections, and work with a gyro-compass repeater. SC-2 and SC-3 also have PPI scopes, remote PPI's, and built-in BL and BI*antennas.
With antennas at 100', SC and SC-1 (without preamplifier) have a reliable maximum range of 30 miles on medium bombers at 1,000' altitude. With preamplifier, SC-1's range is extended to 75 miles – the same as that of SC-2 and SC-3. Range accuracy of SC is ± 200 yards; later models have an accuracy of ± 100 yds. bearing accuracy of SC and SC-21 is ± 5°; of SC-2 and SC-3, ± 3°. There is no elevation control on any of the sets, but height can be estimated roughly from positions of minimum signal strength.
Shipment includes spares for each set. If separate generator is needed, it is included in shipment. Not air transportable.
Both SC and SC-1 have 5 components weighing a total of 1800 lbs. SC-2 has 6 components weighing a total of 3,000 pounds. Weights and dimensions of antenna assemblies are 450 lbs. 6'111/2" x 8'6" for SC and SC-1; 478 lbs. 4'6" x 15' for SC-2 and SC-3. Antennas should be mounted as high as possible, preferably 100 feet or more, above other superstructures.
One operator per shift is minimum on all 3 sets. SC and SC-1 require primary power of 1500 watts at 115 volts, 60 cycles. SC-2 and SC-3 require 2500 watts at 115 volts, 60 cycles. All sets use ship's power of 115 volts, 60 cycles; transformer, if ship's power is 440 volts AC or 220 volts AC; motor generator if ship's power is DC.

Vasoorimala is a disease goddess worshiped in many parts of Kerala, India. She is worshipped as an Upa Devata (sub-deity) in Bhadrakali or Shiva temples. Vasoorimala is believed to be the deity of communicable diseases like smallpox, chickenpox, and measles. In North Kerala, Vasoorimala is worshipped and performed as Vasoorimala Theyyam. According to myths, Manodari, wife of Asura named Darikan was later named as Vasoorimala.
Etymology
Vasoori is the Malayalam word for the disease smallpox. Vasoorimala literally means a chain of pox pustules.
Background
In ancient times it was believed that diseases were caused by the wrath of God. Therefore, they worshiped gods who sowed diseases and gods who healed. Vasoorimala is believed to be the deity of communicable diseases like smallpox, chickenpox, measles etc. Vasoorimala is worshipped as a sub deity in temples in Kerala including Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple, Valiyakulangara Devi Temple, Mahadevikad, and Sri Porkili Kavu.
Myth
Wife of Darikan
The story of Bhadrakali is very prominent in Indian mythology, and goddess Bhadrakali is worshipped allover India. According to the Markandeya Purana, there was an Asura named Darikan (also spelled as Darukan) and goddess Bhadrakali appeared from the third eye of Lord Shiva killed him in a battle.
The story of Vasoorimala from Kerala folklore is mentioned in Aithihyamala written by Kottarathil Sankunni. During the war between Bhadrakali and Darikan, when it was almost certain that Darikan would die in battle with Bhadrakali, Manodari, wife of Darikan approached Kailasa and began intense penance to please Lord Shiva. Satisfied with her adoration, Shiva wiped the sweat from his body and gave it to her and blessed her and said that if she spray it on the bodies of the people, they would give her everything she needed. Manodari saw Bhadrakali, who won the battle, coming with her husband's head. On anger she sprayed that sweaty water on Bhadrakali's body, and as a result smallpox appeared on Bhadrakali's body. Bhadrakali pierced Manodari's eyes, named her Vasoorimala and made her a companion of herself.
Others
Another myth says that Vasoorimala arose from the Shiva consciousness when Lord Shiva contracted smallpox. Vasoorimala can also be seen as a follower of Kurumba (Bhadrakali) in killing Darika.
Vasoorimala Theyyam
Vasoorimala Theyyam is a theyyam performed in temples in North Kerala.
When the smallpox epidemic broke out, it is believed that people started worshiping smallpox in the form of theyyam to get rid of the disease. Now this theyyam is being performed for the cure of diseases.

Lazare Garreau (16 March 1812 – 15 November 1892) was a French botanist, pharmacist and military physician. Garreau established through experimentation that plants could absorb water through the leaves. He also examined plant respiration and nutrition.
Life and work
Garreau was born in Autun where his father was a cabinet maker. He was taught by a priest in the local parish who took children on botanical and geological outings. He went to the Autun college but had to leave due to financial difficulties and began to work at the Berger pharmacy and later with Blondeau, a pharmacist on the Rue de Toumon. He later went to study and obtained a BA in 1833 and then joined the military training hospital at Strasbourg. He then worked as a surgeon in Maubeuge while also studying science at Val-de-Grâce. He then worked for a while at various hospitals as part of army duty and obtained leave in 1840 to study medicine at Montpellier. He became a military pharmacist with the rank of brevet major and then served from 1841 to 1844 in Strasbourg. He became a professor at the Military Training Centre, Lille. Here he married Laure Barrois and while at Lille he began experiments on plant physiology. In 1850, the military training centre at Lille was closed and he was made professor of chemistry and pharmacy at Lille High School. He resigned from service in 1854 and tried to return to academics. His doctoral thesis on the ascent of sap in plants was rejected by Sorbonne in 1855. In 1859 he submitted a thesis on nitrogenous matter in plants and its movement and this earned him a doctorate from Strasbourg. He received a diploma in pharmacy in 1860 and bought a pharmacy that he ran to supplement his income. In 1873 he was appointed professor of chemistry and toxicology and he retired in 1886.
Garreau's plant physiology experiments included studies on the production of water vapour by plants, the absorption of water from leaf surfaces. The association between stomata and evaporation. He also identified that carbon dioxide was made use of by plants and noted differences in plant activity by day and night. He noted the production of heat, particularly in the inflorescence of Arums. Garreau noted the possibility for using carbon disulphide for fumigation and destruction of insect pests in 1854.

The 2004 Georgia flag referendum was a legislatively referred advisory referendum in Georgia. It took place on March 2, 2004, alongside the state's presidential primaries. The result was overwhelmingly in favour of the 2003 flag, which gained 73.1% of the vote.
Background
The flag of Georgia adopted in 1956 contained part of the Confederate flag. In 1992, governor of Georgia Zell Miller expressed his intention to remove this Confederate imagery, describing it as the "last remaining vestige of days that are not only gone but also days that we have no right to be proud of." While legislation was introduced to change the flag, this was unsuccessful, and by 1993 Miller had conceded that changing the flag would not be possible. A 2000 report by the Georgia State Senate found the introduction of the 1956 flag to be a symbol of racist protest against desegregation.
Roy Barnes responded to calls for a new flag in 2001 by encouraging legislation on the matter. The flag that was approved was originally designed around the time of the 1992 dispute by Cecil Alexander. HB 16 was passed on January 30 2001, enacting the new flag. This design reduced the Confederate imagery to a small version of the 1956 flag. Critics labelled the flag "Barnes’s rag", and the city of Trenton adopted a modified version of the 1956 flag in protest.
In the 2002 gubernatorial election, Republican candidate Sonny Perdue defeated Barnes. Perdue ran on the promise to allow a statewide referendum on the flag of Georgia. While it was implied that the referendum would be on the 1956 flag, the initial bill, HB 380, legislated for 2 referendums; the first on a redesign, and the second (if the redesign was rejected) between the pre- and post-1956 flags. However, following concerns from some legislators, this was amended to be 1 referendum between the 2001 and 2003 flags. HB 380 was passed on the last day of the 2003 session. An executive order by Perdue ordered the redesign to be displayed by entities required to display the Georgia flag, rather than the 2001 flag.
Text
The question on the ballot read:
Should the State of Georgia keep the 2003 Flag adopted at the 2003 Session of the General Assembly or return to the 2001 Flag adopted at the 2001 Session of the General Assembly?
Both flags were pictured on the ballot.

Khalvasht is a Late Paleolithic rockshelter site located at the Amarlou region, in the Gilan Province, northern Iran.. The shelter is located above the Loshan-Jirandeh road, and at an altitude of about 1100 m a.s.l. The shelter faces south and is located at the base of a series of conglomerate outcrops that are about 160 m long. A spring emerges about 300 m to the southwest of the site.
The shelter contains evidence for late Paleolithic human cave occupation. Stone artifacts were found by two Iranian archaeologists, Fereidoun Biglari and Hossein Abdi in 2000.. The artifacts are made of gray and black chert, a red variant of fine red-green chert, fine dark brown chert, and one example of white chert. These rock types are found in pebble and cobble size (50 to 200 mm) in the area. The artifacts include flakes, flake fragment, blades and bladelets, a small flake core, one core tablet. The core tablet is from a bladelet core with scares of previous bladelets removals. The site was occupied by the Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers about 18,000-12,000 years ago.

"Arabic Kuthu" is a song featured in the soundtrack of the Tamil-language black comedy action thriller film Beast, directed by Nelson. Starring Vijay and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles, the film is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the studio Sun Pictures. The track is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who also sang the track with Jonita Gandhi, while the lyrics for the track were written by actor Sivakarthikeyan. The first single to be released from the album, being highly expected from fans, was delayed multiple times.
The single released on Valentine's Day (14 February 2022). The track received positive response from music critics, appreciating the compositions, lyrics, Vijay and Pooja Hegde's dance moves. It became the most-viewed and liked South Indian song within 24 hours, garnering 25 million views within a short period, and also the fastest South Indian song to cross 50 million views. 2 weeks after the release the song offically hit 100 million views world wide and was ranked as 5th on Spotify.
Composition
This film marks Anirudh's third collaboration with Vijay after Kaththi (2014) and Master (2021), and with Nelson after Kolamaavu Kokila (2018) and Doctor. Anirudh Ravichander composed the tracks during mid-July 2021. In order to experiment with the film's music, he had composed this particular track in the Arabic music genre and had featured lyrics in Tamil and Arabic languages. The opening phrase, "Halamithi Habibo" translates to "I dreamed of my lover". Sivakarthikeyan wrote this track in mid-August 2021.
According to reports, the track is a fusion Arabic music and Kuthu (a type of Tamil folk music) as the name of the track. It also had the influence of dance and pop music. This track was sung by Anirudh and Jonita Gandhi, who previously sung for "Chellamma" in Doctor. Anirudh, in his interaction with fans during a Facebook chat session, stated that the work on the first single has been completed and will be released later, and further clarified that all the updates regarding the film will be revealed post-completion of the film's shooting.
Music video
The track is choreographed by Jani Master in his first collaboration with Vijay. In a deleted tweet, Jani had announced that the rehearsals for the song might take place during mid-April 2021, and the song will be shot within seven days, starting from the first week of May 2021. But shooting did not take place in that date, due to Vijay's decision to halt shooting in concern with the rise in COVID-19 cases in Tamil Nadu, and also Hegde being diagnosed with COVID-19. The song was shot at Gokulam Studios during September 2021. To promote the single, Nelson shot a promotional video for the track featuring Vijay, Anirudh, Sivakarthikeyan and himself, during December 2021. According to reports, the song will not be featured in the film's screenplay and might play during the end credits, similar to "Chellamma", a song from Nelson's previous film Doctor.
Marketing and release
The single was highly anticipated by fans, and was rumoured to be released on Anirudh's birthday (16 October 2021) and later scheduled for release on Diwali (4 November 2021), which however did not happen. Makers stated that Sun Pictures' commitments to the release of Rajinikanth-starrer Annaatthe, and also the death of Puneeth Rajkumar insisted the makers not to release any update regarding the film on Diwali, which was posted on Ananda Vikatan's exclusive article about the film. The single was earlier planned to be released on New Year's Eve (31 December), and later to Pongal (14 January 2022), but could not be launched on that date.
After multiple delays, on 7 February 2022, Sun Pictures released the first promotional skit for the track. The six-minute promo featured Nelson, Anirudh and Sivakarthikeyan with Vijay, in a voice-over (conversation through phone). The track was released on the occasion of Valentine's Day (14 February 2022), as Anirudh occasionally released singles on that date. Posters for the film's first single were released on 12 and 13 February 2022, in order to promote the track. The lyrical video of the track was launched on the official YouTube channel of Sun TV, and the track, spanning for four-minutes, released through streaming platforms later.
Reception
The track eventually received positive response for the compositions, vocals and lyrics. The Indian Express stated Sivakarthikeyan's lyrics as the highlights which "likely to go right over the head of the listeners". The review further added "The hook line of the song is 'malama pitha pithadhe' and it’s hard to tell what it means. One can’t even confidently tell if it has any base in the Arabic language. And that seems to be the fun part of the song. Composer Anirudh wants to make a point that as long as the music is enjoyable, people don’t sweat over incomprehensible lyrics. You see, music has no language." Asuthosh Mohan of Film Companion South called it as an "interesting fusion of Arabic and kuthu styles, repurposed to his (Anirudh's) own sensibility" and concluded that the track "works as a no-frills earworm that promises to get better with the visuals and choreography". Mohan explored the similarities of the track to that of "Mettalaa Hajbo" by Moroccan artist Karima Gouit, in terms of mood and rhythm. Khushboo Ratda of Pinkvilla reviewed: " Vijay's swag, Pooja Hegde's dance moves and Anirudh's music makes it a party anthem".
The #ArabicKuthuChallenge was announced after the track's release and the lead actress Hegde performed the hook step which she posted on Instagram Reels. Later, composer Anirudh and Samantha Ruth Prabhu performed the track and posted through Instagram Reels. Samantha's cover was praised by Samyuktha Hegde, Anirudh, Sanya Malhotra, Ruhani Sharma and Priya Atlee, and her version crossed 18 million views in a single day. Other celebrities such as Atlee, Sivaangi Krishnakumar, Jai, Amritha Aiyer, Yashika Aannand, Vedhika and former Indian cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath too did their cover version. It became the most popular South Indian song on Instagram Reels after "Two Two Two" from Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal and "Kalaavathi" from Sarkaru Vaari Paata. Actress Jonita Gandhi also posted a Instagram reel using the song which also reached more then 50 million views.
Records
The track garnered over 17 million views in less than 10 hours, and eventually surpassed the 24-hour records of "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" from Pushpa: The Rise (2021) and "Kalaavathi" from Sarkaru Vaari Paata (2022), which garnered over 14 and 16 million views within 24 hours, respectively.

Alex Macario is an American anesthesiologist, academic and author. He is a vice-chair for education, a professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, and program director for the anesthesiology residency at Stanford University School of Medicine.
He has authored several books, including the travel memoir A Sabbatical in Madrid: A Diary of Spain.
Macario also serves on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Anesthesiology, and will serve as president at the end of his term.
Biography
Macario was born in Argentina, and moved to the US with his family when he was 10. His father is a doctor. Macario attended the University of Rochester, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1986, and then an M.B.A. majoring in health care organizations and markets in 1988, and M.D. with distinction in research in 1990. He studied anesthesiology at Stanford and was chief resident in 1994. He was a fellow in health services research until 1995.
Macario began his academic career as clinical assistant professor in the Department of Anesthesiology in 1995, and then assistant professor in 1996. He was promoted to associate professor in 2001, and to professor in 2006.
Currently, he is also a member of the Anesthesiology Review Committee for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, where he, along with a team sets standards for US graduate medical education (residency and fellowship) programs and the institutions that sponsor them, and renders accreditation decisions based on compliance with these standards.
Research
Macario has published over 250 papers. He focuses his research on the economics of health care, with particular attention on the tradeoffs between costs and outcomes for patients having surgery and anesthesia.
In an important research project, Macario discussed the potential role of RFID chips in terms of helping surgeons avoid leaving sponges in patients, while highlighting that the risk of sponges or instruments inadvertently left in the patient's body "increases in emergencies, with unplanned changes in procedure and with patients that have a higher body-mass index." Furthermore, he examined the economics of the surgical area, showing that the high cost of surgical procedures is due to the intensity of labor and resources required in the operating room, and identified that efforts to reduce total costs of care need to address the large fraction of costs that are fixed (overhead).
Other landmark studies led by Macario took perspectives of patients regarding their preferences for postoperative anesthesia outcomes, as well as those of expert anesthesiologists to show that as the safety of anesthesia care increased in the 1980s and 1990s, a shift occurred in the focus of everyday anesthesia practice from avoiding severe and less common complications such as stroke and death to also minimizing less severe and more common side-effects such as pain, nausea and vomiting.
Macario has investigated the challenges of predictive methods for surgery duration, and highlighted the importance that the correct surgical procedure is booked, and that accurate time stamps are collected, and that even with those necessary steps illustrated that all surgical cases have variability in duration.
He published an often referenced set of metrics to measure how well an operating room suite is functioning, and described the relationship between hospital costs and patient charges as listed on the chargemaster.
Personal life
Macario lives with his wife in their home on the Stanford University Campus, and has 2 adult children.

Felicity Ace was a roll-on/roll-off cargo ship (Pure Car/Truck Carrier) built by Shin Kurushima Dockyard in 2005, owned and operated by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines of Japan, and registered in Panama. It caught fire in February 2022 south of the Azores, then capsized and sank in early March.
2022 fire
The ship sailed from Emden, Germany, on 10 February 2022, carrying 3,965 Volkswagen cars, including Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini and Bentley models, with a total estimated sales price of up to half a billion Euros.
The cargo section caught fire on 16 February 2022, while crossing the North Atlantic heading for Davisville, Rhode Island. At this time, the ship was about from Terceira Island in the Azores. All 22 crew members abandoned the ship and survived, being evacuated by the Portuguese Navy. The captain told Reuters that the lithium-ion batteries in the cars ignited and the fire could only be extinguished with special equipment.
Felicity Ace was being followed by the Portuguese Navy patrol ship NRP Setúbal, approximately southwest off the Azores, waiting for rescuers to try to extinguish the fire and tow the vessel to shore. On 18 February, Smit Salvage were contracted to salvage the ship.
Two large tugs with firefighting equipment were ordered to support the vessel from Gibraltar. In addition, a salvage craft with firefighting equipment was set to arrive from Rotterdam on 23 or 24 February. A Portuguese Navy spokesman said that Felicity Ace was unlikely to be towed to a port in the Azores due to its size.
The ship drifted guideless and burning on the Atlantic for about a week. A team from Smit was able to board and stabilize the ship. The fire was out at this time and a towing connection to a tug was also established.
Sinking
On 1 March 2022, Felicity Ace was reported to have capsized and sunk. A Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) spokesperson said that the ship developed a 45-degree list to starboard and then unexpectedly capsized and sank at approximately 9 am local time about off the Azores in rough seas. MOL was unable to confirm if any oil pollution had occurred. The Portuguese Navy said that oily residue and wreckage was visible at the surface, the water was about deep at the sinking site, and that naval forces would continue to monitor the area. A risk-modeling analyst estimated the value of the goods aboard the ship at $438 million, of which $401 million were cars, and estimated Volkswagen's losses at $155 million.

Darai Rockshelter (, Kurdish:مرو دارای) is an archaeological site in the southwest of Kurdistan Province, in west Iran. It is located in the Sirwan River valley, between Naw and Asparez villages, in the Hawraman region. It faces NNW at an altitude of 760m a.s.l.The shelter was discovered during Darian Dam Archaeological Salvage Program in 2015, excavated in 2015–2016, and it was subsequently submerged in 2016.
The Darian Dam Archeological Salvage Program (DDASP) was planned by the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research before flooding the Darian Dam reservoir. This archaeological program, under the general direction of Fereidoun Biglari, has conducted several seasons of archaeological surveys and excavations within the area of the reservoir that led to the discovery of a number of important Paleolithic and more later sites.
Archaeology
When discovered, it was partially collapsed and eroded by the Sirwan River. The site contained Middle Paleolithic archaeological deposits of about 2.30 m thick along back walls. Large-scale excavations at the site yielded two main Middle Paleolithic cultural layers. Numerous fireplaces and rich faunal and lithic assemblages were found during the excavation. The faunal assemblages are dominated by goat/sheep that show burning, cut marks, and other anthropogenic modifications.
Based on the preliminary techno-typological study of the Darai lithic assemblage, the Middle Paleolithic flake-based industry of Darai generally resembles the Zagros Mousterian. The Levallois and discoid methods have been used to produce blanks for tools such as Mousterian points and side scrapers.
It seems Darai was a focal point for Neanderthal habitation that resulted in the concentration of a thick accumulation of archaeological deposits in this location.

Biography
Levi was born on December 8, 1874, on West 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan. His father, Albert Augustus Levi, was an investment banker originally from Germany and was one of the trustees of the Society for Ethical Culture upon its founding in 1877. The elder Levi was also a brother-in-law of the Seligman brothers who founded J. & W. Seligman & Co.. Levi helped found the San Francisco branch of the family business, J. Seligman & Co. Two of his aunts married into the Seligman family and his uncles-in-law included prominent investment bankers Isaac Seligman and Joseph Seligman.
He attended Columbia College, graduating in 1896, and attended the Columbia School of Architecture for two years before moving to Paris to study at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He joined the practice of Francis H. Kimball upon finishing his studies and designed the J. & W. Seligman & Company Building with Kimball. He subsequently co-founded the architecture practice Taylor & Levi with Alfredo S. G. Taylor and designed commercial buildings and residences. He was a partner in the firm from 1907 to 1962.
In 1929, he helped design a plan for Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He founded the Architects Emergency Committee in 1930 whose purpose was to provide work for architects throughout the Great Depression. In 1937, he co-designed the U.S. Pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition of 1937 and the Romanian House at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. He also served as a president of the Architectural League of New York and was a long-time associate with the American Institute of Architecture. For his work in restoring the Chartres Cathedral, Levi was made a Commander of the Legion of Honor in 1951 by the French government.
Levi was also a watercolorist who painted seascapes, landscapes and still lifes, with some being added to the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as Cooper Hewitt. He was called a Renaissance man in his New York Times obituary.
Personal life
Levi was married to Alice Fries Levi, who died in 1961. He died on August 23, 1971. At the time of his death, he was the oldest Columbia alumnus alive. The couple left behind no children.
Levi was a resident in the Osborne Apartments and his apartment was called by the New York Times a "proper setting for a Henry James or Edith Wharton novel" that contained a vast collection of artwork, ranging from Renaissance art to Persian rugs.
Legacy
In 1966, he gave $150,000 to Columbia for the purchase of the Laura Boulton collection of traditional and liturgical music, the most comprehensive collection of ethnic music recordings in the world, which formed the basis of the Center for Ethnomusicology at Columbia.
He bequeathed US$5 million to Columbia upon his death, one of the largest gifts in the university's history. He endowed a number of professorships and helped the university reduce its operating deficit that were incurred due to the Columbia University protests of 1968. He also donated his art collections to the Met, Cooper Hewitt, and the Brooklyn Museum.

The Laverda 1200 is a air cooled DOHC triple motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Laverda between 1977 and 1982. The model was developed from the Laverda 1000. Austrian importer Werner Sulzbacher had had some success in production and endurance racing with triples over-bored to and . Sulzbacher had put pressure on the factor to produce a 1200 cc version. With increasing noise and pollution legislation in the 1970s, especially in the US, requiring restrictive inlet and exhausts, softer cams and lower compression ratios, Laverda sought to regain performance by increasing the triple's performance by increasing displacement.
Model variants
1200T
Based on the Laverda 3CL, the 1200T was introduced in 1977. Whilst marketed as a 1200, the actual displacement was , achieved by increasing the 1,000s bore from , the stroke remaining at . The '1000' cast into the primary chaincase was machined off.
The existing 3CL twin downtube frame was modified with the rear shock absorbers more forward leading. This frame was also adopted on the 1000 cc models. Ceriani front forks were fitted. Twin Brembo discs were fitted on the front with a single disc of the same size on the rear. The cast wheels were of Laverda's own manufacture. The model was initially finished in red or blue with orange flashes.
Second series
In early 1978, a number of changes were made. Marzocchi front forks and yokes replaced the Ceriani items, a BTZ electronic ignition replaced the Bosch unit and the petrol tank now had badges instead of transfers.
1200 Jota America
The 1200 Jota America was produced to comply with the US-DOT regulations. These included a left-side gearchange. The crossover linkage and rear brake master cylinder caused the footrests to be located in less than ideal positions.
Mirage
The Mirage was a higher performance version of the 1200 instigated by the UK importers, Slater Bros. Following the success of the Jota, Richard Slater turned his attention to the 1200. 4C cams and a Jota exhaust was fitted. The name Mirage was suggested by Laverda's sales manager Luciano Zucarelli. Machines were shipped from the factory minus the exhaust and nameplates which were fitted in the UK. Following a request from Slater that the Mirage should be a different colour to other 1200s, from July 1978 they we finished in metallic green. Universally known as the 'Green Mirage' it has become the most sought-after 1200.
Formula Mirage
A limited number (estimates vary between 14 and 17) of higher performance Formula Mirage models were built by the UK importer Slaters. These had a higher compression ratio and 7C endurance racing camshafts. A one-piece fibreglass seat and tank and matching fairing were fitted. As fibreglass petrol tanks were outlawed in some jurisdictions, a 2.5 gallon metal tank was fitted under the fibreglass.
30th Anniversary 1200
To celebrate 30 years of motorcycle production, Laverda announced in 1979 that they would produce a limited edition 30th Anniversary 1200 model. 200 of these were produced, although less than 50 were sold to the public. The remainder were sold to the Libya Police Force.
A hydraulic clutch and drilled discs were fitted. This was the first Laverda to be fitted with these items. The engine was fitted with larger inlet valves, as used on the Jota. The model was finished in Black and gold with the chrome parts finished black chrome, the engine covers were also finished in black. A handle bar fairing and seat cover that were unique to this model. The steering nut was gold plated.
Every bike was supplied with a personalised letter from Massimo Laverda and a gold medal with the owner's picture etched on it.
1200TS
Carrying on with the Gran Turismo concept, the 1200TS was introduced in 1979. It featured a handlebar fairing, engine-hugging fiberglass lowers and a new tail section on the seat. Most TS models were finished in silver with maroon coachlines. In 1980 larger inlet valves were fitted and in 1981 a larger Nippon Denso alternator was fitted and the ignition pick-ups moved to the primary side.
For the American market softer touring cams were fitted along with more restrictive exhausts and noise-cancelling baffles in the airbox.
1200TS Mirage
Slaters had agreed with the factory for the Mirage to be marketed worldwide. The model has been 'sanitised' by the factory to meet worldwide legislation. Whilst supposed to be a high-performance version of the TS, the differences were minor.
Austrian models
Austrian Laverda importer Werner Sulzbacher, in conjunction with engineer Franz Laimboeck, produced a number of tuned cafe-racer versions, including the 1200SC and 1300SC.

Elizabeth Bathurst (1655-1685) was an English Quaker preacher and theologian, and the author of one of the few early systematic accounts of Quaker beliefs.
Life
Bathurst was born in London, the eldest child of Charles Bathurst. She and her siblings became Quakers in 1678. Soon after her conversion to Quakerism, she interrupted worship at Samuel Annesley's Presbyterian chapel in London, speaking against the doctrine of reprobation. Later, she undertook several preaching tours, and was imprisoned at least once in the Marshalsea prison.
Bathurst was recognised during her lifetime by the Quaker community as a gifted preacher. George Whitehead, who discussed her major work with her before its publication, commented on her "excellent gift, both of understanding, life and utterance". She has been described by historian Sarah Apetrei as "by far the most theologically sophisticated" of the numerous women leaders among early Quakers.
According to her father's account of her life, Bathurst suffered "great weakness of body" from infancy.
Writings
Bathurst's major work was Truth's Vindication: Or, A Gentle Stroke to Wipe Off The Foul Aspersions, False Accusations and Misrepresentations, Cast Upon the People of God, call'd Quakers (first published 1679). It explains and defends the distinctive Quaker account of salvation, focusing in particular on the universal offer of salvation and the infallible guidance of the Holy Spirit. Truth's Vindication was reprinted six times by Quaker publishers - notably in a posthumous (1691) edition by Tace Sowle, as her first project after she took over her father's publishing firm.
She also wrote The Sayings of Women... in several places of the Scriptures, presenting a theological defence of women's authority to preach and teach.

The Piazza Centre is a shopping centre in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.
History
The Piazza Centre was built on the site of the Market Hall, which was demolished in 1970.
A town regeneration plan published by Kirklees Council in June 2019 which proposed demolishing the Piazza Centre.
In 2021, Huddersfield Art Gallery was temporarily relocated to the Piazza Centre to allow work to take place on the original building. A campaign has since launched to oppose the demolition of the Piazza Centre, arguing that the spaces within it are beneficial to local arts communities.
