Spirits Aloft is a live album by bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Rashied Ali. It was recorded in February 2009 at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey, and was released by Porter Records in 2010.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Phil Freeman wrote: "On this recording, Grimes switches back and forth between bass and violin, and between somewhat conventional free jazz playing and atmospheric pieces during which neither he nor Ali offer any kind of melodic or rhythmic structure, instead improvising in a quietly intense way that forces the listener to wonder who's making what sound... When the bassist first reappeared on the scene, he was extremely rusty, but free jazz fans welcomed him back because of his pedigree. With this release, and a few before it, he proves that his chops have returned and he's every bit the player he was in the '60s."
Writing for All About Jazz, Tim Niland commented: "The music appears to be completely improvised and works quite well, with Grimes deftly switching from plucked to bowed bass and adding swirls of violin to the action while Ali continually shifts the music... This was one of Ali's final recordings before passing away in 2009, and it is clear that he was a creative force right up until the end. Grimes continues to amaze, as his storybook comeback to the musical Universe continues unabated."
Michael Kabran, in an article for PopMatters, stated: "Grimes and Ali are interacting with one another in real time and constantly exploring new ideas. Sometimes the result is a series of jarring scrapes, squawks, and slams... Other times Grimes and Ali combine to create ambient pitter-patter that seems almost techno- or dub-like... Still, in other moments... gorgeous harmony and blissfully swinging rhythm erupt without warning from a seemingly endless jittery blanket of chaos. Spirits Aloft also shows that Grimes and Ali, both in their 70s at the time of this recording, hadn't lost their chops or sense of adventure... Spirits Aloft isn't an album for the faint of heart. It is free jazz at its freest... if what exhilarates you, what makes your heart skip a beat, what keeps you up at night, is one more glimpse into the wild imagination... of two avant-garde jazz giants, then you may have just found a gold mine."
Writing for London Jazz News, Geoff Winston remarked: "Both masters had that supreme confidence to jointly direct their dialogue and take the audience with them. Grimes said in his moving tribute at Ali's memorial celebration later in 2009, quoted in the sleeve notes, 'Rashied knew how to cause music to have life and give life.' The same can be said for Grimes, and this spirit is the essence of this wonderful recording, every nuance so expertly captured that the listener gets as close as is possible to being there on the night."

Rufus Sargent (1812-1886) was an American architect practicing in Newburyport, Massachusetts during the nineteenth century.
Life and career
Rufus Sargent was born January 7, 1812, in Amesbury, Massachusetts to Nicholas Sargent and Sally (Currier) Sargent. In 1840 he moved to Newburyport, where he first worked as a carpenter. By 1843 he had formed a partnership with Henry Morse which lasted only briefly. By 1848 he was calling himself an architect rather than carpenter, and would also advertise services as a civil engineer in later years. Sargent was the most prominent architect practicing in Newburyport and Essex County during his lifetime, and after the Civil War also built extensively in New Hampshire. In the Spring of 1886 he moved south to Palatka, Florida, possibly for his health. While there he worked as an architect for the Henry B. Plant-affiliated Florida Southern Railway, and died there in 1886.
Sargent was consulting engineer for the Newburyport City Railroad, completed in 1872. His major buildings include the First Baptist Church of Methuen (1869, Gothic Revival), the bank for the Institution for Savings in Newburyport (1871, Italianate) and the City Hall of Peabody (1882–83, Second Empire).
Personal life
Sargent was a descendant of William Sargent, an early settler of Amesbury in the 1630s.
In 1835, while still living in Amesbury, Sargent married Abigail Buswell of Northfield, New Hampshire. They had two daughters. After living in various houses around Newburyport for most of his life, in 1877 Sargent purchased land at 8 Harris Street, where he built his own house in the Italianate style. His family continued to live there after his death. Sargent died November 1, 1886, in Palatka. He was buried in Newburyport.
Legacy
Sargent's buildings were designed in the popular styles of the Victorian era, especially the Italianate and Second Empire styles. They contrast with the earlier architecture of Newburyport, a city best known for its Federal architecture.
At least three of Sargent's works have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, and others contribute to listed historic districts.

New Wave – The Other Cyprus (Greek Νέο Κύμα - Η Άλλη Κύπρος) is a political movement in the Republic of Cyprus. The movement's main stated goal is to mobilize society for reform and new prospects for Cyprus and the young people of the country.
History
Neo Kyma was founded on November 18, 2019, by Constantinos Christofides, former rector of the University of Cyprus, as a movement against corruption and the ongoing political stagnation in Cyprus during the division of Cyprus. The name New Wave is inspired by the same-named music movement in Greece, film movement in France, and cultural movement in the United States during the 1960s, which coincided with the independence of Cyprus. On November 18, 2019, the movement and its supporters officially introduced itself at an event in Nicosia. In the process, it was initially registered as a non-profit corporation.
In May 2021, the movement announced that it would not participate in the 2021 parliamentary elections, contrary to its initial plans. It justified this with its not yet fully developed program and the aggravated conditions caused by the Corona pandemic.
On November 4, 2021, Neo Kyma and the pan-European party Volt Europa signed a memorandum of understanding and agreed to cooperate closely. Within this framework, the Cypriot team renamed itself "Neo Kyma || Volt Cyprus - The Other Cyprus". Together, they plan to run in the 2023 presidential election and, after the election, merge to form the Volt Cyprus political party, which will then form Volt's local offshoot in Cyprus.
Structure
The highest body of the movement is the 77-member Council, whose task is to make proposals and decisions on how the movement can influence things in Cyprus. It consists of 77 members of the movement elected every 3 years and meets at least quarterly to review the work done by committees.
The Coordination Committee is the executive body of the Movement and consists of a maximum of 14 members elected by the 77-member Council. It implements the decisions of the council and is responsible for the smooth functioning and development of the movement, as well as partnerships with other movements.
The movement's programmatic development takes place in 15 Thematic Committees, and the committees take on an advisory role, reporting regularly to the Coordinating Committee. These work together to develop a program for participating in elections and taking positions toward the work of the government.
The movement also has a youth group that works especially for a sustainable future with work for all, with equal education and development opportunities, and concerns for young people.
Locally, the movement is structured in 7 district teams, corresponding to the 6 districts of Cyprus and Troodos.
Policies
Cyprus conflict
In the Cyprus conflict, Neue Welle supports the reunification of Cyprus as a federal state, supports the basic direction of the UN's plans, and calls for more efforts from all parties to further refine the plans. In doing so, it sees itself as an all-Cypriot movement of Greek and Turkish Cypriots and condemns the Turkish government's continued occupation of the northern part of Cyprus.
EU reform
The movement supports the idea of a federal united Europe with a Senate representing the interests of the regions and a European government, with a prime minister elected by the European Parliament. To this end, a common European constitution should be adopted, with human rights, freedom, democracy and equality at its core. Europe is to share a common foreign policy and European army, in addition to a common market and economy.
Administrative reform
The movement calls for a reform of local government, aiming to reduce the number of municipalities in Cyprus to 6. In this way, the recommendations of the EU are to be implemented and the costs of maintaining the large number of local authorities, each with its own personnel, equipment and buildings, are to be significantly reduced. At the same time, this should also reduce bureaucracy and allow for lower taxes.
Corona Pandemic
The movement proposes to provide government assistance to artists, cultural workers, laborers, and entrepreneurs who are active in all areas of culture and who have suffered particularly from loss of income due to restrictive measures during the Corona Pandemic.
Taxes
The movement criticizes lowering electricity prices by reducing the value-added tax from 9% to 19%, since this equal reduction benefits wealthy segments of the population in particular, while particularly affected segments of the population are hardly relieved. The movement therefore proposes staggered taxation to target poorer segments of the population and curb fossil fuels.

HD 42618 is a well-studied star with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Orion. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.85 it is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. This system is located at a distance of 79.6 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of per year. HD 42618 is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −53.5 km/s and is predicted to come as near as in around 297,000 years.
The stellar classification of HD 42618 is G4V, which shows it to be an ordinary G-type main-sequence star. It is considered a close solar analog, which means the physical properties of the star are particularly similar to those of the Sun. Seismic model indicates the star is older and more evolved than the Sun with an age of about 5.5 billion years. It is spinning with a low projected rotational velocity of 1.8 km/s, with the rotation rate being consistent with the star's low activity level. The star has 92% of the mass of the Sun and 94% of the Sun's radius. The surface metallicity is lower than in the Sun, with the abundance patterns being consistent with a solar-type star. HD 42618 is radiating 92% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,765 K.
In 2016, the discovery of a candidate exoplanet companion orbiting HD 42618 was announced. Designated HD 42618 b, it was found using the radial velocity method which showed a periodicity of 149.6 days. The orbital elements have the planet orbiting at a distance of from the host star with an orbital eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.2 and a Neptune-like mass. A second signal with a period of 388 days was detected, but this is unconfirmed and may be false. A 4,850 day signal is likely the result of star's magnetic activity cycle.

Calais City Hall () is the seat of the city council in Calais, France. It has a 72-metre belfry of red brick and white limestone.
Calls for a new city hall dated from Calais's municipal merger with Saint-Pierre in 1885, and the plan was to put the building in the dunes between the two towns. Louis Debrouwer of Dunkirk was the architect, designing in the Renaissance Revival and Flemish styles. Building began in 1912, was paused during World War I, and concluded in 1925.
In 2003, it was made a monument historique by the French state. In 2005, its belfry was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site ensemble of the Belfries of Belgium and France.
Les bourgeois de Calais ("The Burghers of Calais") is a sculpture by Auguste Rodin, commissioned by the city and standing in front of the city hall. It depicts the six leading citizens who were taken by Edward III of England after the Siege of Calais (1346–1347) during the Hundred Years' War.

Franz Marek (1913–1979) was an Austrian communist politician who edited Weg und Ziel, a monthly journal of the Communist Party of Austria. British historian Eric Hobsbawm described Franz Marek as the hero of the 20th century.
Early life
He was born Ephraim Feuerlicht in Przemyśl, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, on 18 April 1913 into a Jewish family. They moved to Vienna, and he was raised in the St. Leopold district of Vienna. He was one of the founders of a youth organization targeting Zionist junior high school students. Next he became a member of the Hashomer Hatzair, a socialist and Zionist youth movement.
Career and views
In 1934 Marek joined the Communist Party. He exiled to France in 1938 when Austria became part of the Nazi Germany. He was one of the leaders of the French resistance movement and coedited a publication entitled Nouvelles d’Autriche–Österreichische Nachrichten. When France was occupied by the Nazis Marek was arrested and sentenced to death and was freed only after the liberation of Paris in 1944. He could return to Austria in 1946. He assumed several posts in the Communist Party and was appointed editor-in-chief of Weg und Ziel, a theoretical journal of the Communist Party, in 1946. He also edited Wiener Tagebuch. In 1948 Marek was made a member of the political bureau of the Communist Party.
Marek first adhered to the Stalinist approach. In 1960s he became a critic of it and proposed to develop a European version of communism termed as Eurocommunism. Due to these views and his stance against the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union he was removed from the Communist Party membership in 1970.
Personal life and death
Marek was married to Tilly Spiegel who was also a resistance member. They divorced in 1974. He died of a heart attack on 28 June 1979.

The Tone of Wonder is a live solo album by bassist/violinist Henry Grimes. It was recorded in May 2013 in Poschiavo, Switzerland, and was released by Uncool Edition in 2014.
Reception
In a review for London Jazz News, Geoff Winston wrote: "The Tone of Wonder is an extraordinary album. Totally absorbing, full immersion in these solo explorations... is the best way to appreciate its range, depth and inherent beauty. This studio recital... is recorded with great sensitivity and fidelity, so much so that it is one of the few occasions... when listeners can believe that the musician is in the room with them... what is it we are hearing? It's really Henry Grimes telling you everything he knows about music; it comes out of his love of music and his love of the instruments... It is a performance of pure honesty, as close as you'll get to the creative wellspring, that makes The Tone of Wonder such a unique and special album."
Writing for Jazz Views, Peter Urpeth commented: "Much time is spent on bowed bass, when the laminar flow of lines creates an almost etude-like structure, reminiscent in part of Bach or Britten's solo cello suites, rich with myriad fragments of melody, brief rhythmic inventions, and creating a real sense of counterpoint and ensemble playing. There is a kind of immensity about the entire project, from its improvisations to its high quality recording that is almost overwhelming in its delivery... Ideas emerge and are explored before being set aside and new departures opened. The gems, of which there are many in these improvisations, are left for the listener to stumble upon, to unearth in their hiding places, perhaps in the same paradigmatic many as their creator - who both makes and finds in the same moment. Such is the truly great improvisor's art... Tone of Wonder as a title says it all. This CD is a fitting testimony to the work of one jazz music's truly great musicians."

William Stanley Roscoe (1782 – 31 October 1843) was an English poet, banker and abolitionist.
Life
William Stanley Roscoe, son of William Roscoe by his wife Jane, daughter of Jane, second daughter of William Griffies, a Liverpool tradesman, was born at Liverpool in 1782. He was educated at Peterhouse, Cambridge, and became a partner in his father's bank. In his latter years he was serjeant-at-mace to the court of passage at Liverpool. He died at Liverpool on 31 October 1843. He was the father of William Caldwell Roscoe.
Works
Roscoe was well acquainted with Italian literature, and in 1834 published a volume of Poems (London, 8vo), which was eulogised in Blackwood's Magazine. According to Warwick William Wroth, writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, the verse is for the most part commonplace in subject and treatment. However, some later critics have found merit in several anti-slavery poems published in the volume, including the Pindaric "Ode to May, Written in 1807, on the Abolition of the African Slave Trade"; "On the Last Regiment of Polish Patriots Being Ordered by the French Government to Serve in the Island of St. Domingo", which concerns the quashing of the slave-led Haitian Revolution; and "The Ethiop", which imagines the overthrow of Caribbean slavery through a war of liberation led by an African-born hero loosely based on Toussaint L'Ouverture and includes strong Gothic themes.
One of Roscoe's poems, "To Spring: On the Banks of the Cam", was anthologised by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in his 1912 Oxford Book of Victorian Verse.

Strelkov's long-eared bat (Plecotus strelkovi) is a species of vesper bat found in mountainous regions of Central Asia.
Taxonomy
It was described in 2006 based on specimens previously classified without justification as Ward's long-eared bat (P. wardi) and later the grey long-eared bat (P. austriacus). However, genetic and morphological evidence confirmed that these populations represented a distinct, previously undescribed species, and it was described as Plecotus strelkovi. Phylogenetic evidence supports it being a sister species to a group comprising Christie's long-eared bat (P. christii), the Mediterranean long-eared bat (P. kolombatovici), and the grey long-eared bat (P. austriacus). It is accepted as a distinct species by the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List, and the ITIS.
The species is named in honor of Russian mammalogist Petr Petrovich Strelkov.
Distribution and habitat
It is native to the xeric mountain ranges of Central Asia and adjoining regions. It ranges from northeastern Iran through the mountains of Central Asia, and east to northwestern China. It is found in the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges. It is known from montane and forest-steppe habitats.
Status
This species is considered Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and does not face any major threats.

Bateau is a steakhouse located in Seattle, founded by chef Renee Erickson.
History and concept
The restaurant opened in 2015. Bateau makes an effort to reduce the environmental impact of the beef it serves. One such practice to minimize the restaurant's impact, whole-animal butchery, means the restaurant serves cuts that other steakhouses do not typically serve.
The restaurant closed temporarily during the 2021 Western North America heat wave.
Reception
The restaurant has received positive reviews from critics. In a review for The Seattle Times, critic Providence Cicero gave the restaurant her first four-star review. Cicero praised the "entire dining experience" as "smooth sailing". Cicero specifically praised the quality of the service and the knowledge of the waitstaff. The review also referred to the meat as "exceptional" and highlighted the "sides and starters" as "[playing] more than just a supporting role".
The restaurant was featured on Eaters list of the best new restaurants of 2016.

Odebrecht Case
According to several sources, Porfirio Andrés Bautista García was involved in the Odebrecht Case, an investigation by the Dominican Public Prosecutor's Office of Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction company's activity related to bribery of the country's top government officials. As the source notes, 14 people were charged with bribery or money laundering, including Bautista Garcia, who was arrested in his office by the Swat Team of the National Police on May 29, 2017.

As noted by Listín Diario on October 14, 2021 the Collegiate Court of the National District of the Dominican Republic, declared Andrés Bautista García free of all charges brought against him by the Public Prosecutor's Office, including bribery, falsehood, prevarication, money laundering and illicit enrichment.
The court, composed of magistrates Tanía Yunes, Giselle Méndez and Jisell Naranjo, determined that the facts for which the Public Prosecutor's Office accused Bautista did not exist. The court pointed out that "Bautista was not the president of the Senate at the time the contracts in favor of the Brazilian capital company were approved."
In relation to the case, on September 23, 2020, Bautista filed a lawsuit against the former Attorney General of the Republic, Jean Alain Rodríguez, for 500 million pesos for moral and material damages.

A movement or opinion in Wales that the Welsh rugby union (WRU) logo should be changed to one that is not linked to the Monarchy of the United Kingdom.
Controversy of the logo
A national news publisher, Wales Online in 2018 suggested that there may be an uncomfortable truth and ignorance of the origin and history of the emblem which contributes to its controversy. The article suggests that the three white ostrich feathers with the gold crown is symbolic of an English figure, and not a Welsh one. Since the early 17th century the emblem is solely associated with the Prince of Wales but has not connection whatsoever with the last native Prince of Wales, and famous Welsh icon, Owain Glyndŵr, who died around 1415. The crest technically belongs to the Duke of Cornwall as heir to the British crown because it belongs to the first born individual of the British crown before official investiture as Prince of Wales.
In February 2021, the North Wales live (produced by the Daily Post) published an article about the so called "unsettling" origins of the WRU logo.
In October 2021, the North Wales live published an article citing opinions of Welsh rugby fans both for and against the three feathers symbol. One fan against the symbol noted "It's an outdated symbol with three German feathers which represents England. It has nothing to do with Welsh heritage. It needs a change, a revamp. We need a symbol to recognise Wales is a country in its own right." and a second fan agreed by saying, "The national football team in Wales represents the country so much better when it comes to language, heritage and culture."
In February 2022, it was noted by The National Wales, that the emblem of the three feathers and crown is a symbol of subjugation as well as shame which is sometimes further emphasised when Wales are not performing as well on the field. Controversy stems from the use of the symbol by the Prince of Wales and many regiments of the British military. The Welsh men's rugby team continues to be a very significant symbol in Wales which is another reason why the symbol is controversial, due to its prominence in Wales.
Petitions to change the logo
In 2016 a petition was made to change the WRU logo which gathered over a 1,000 signatures. This petition was also supported by Welsh singer, Rhys Meirion.
Another petition created in 2020 on change.org with the title "Change the WRU emblem from the English Prince 3 feathers to a Welsh dragon" gathered 6,000 signatures by February 2022 and received attention in national media in Wales. The petition notes that the current WRU logo is derived from the emblem of the "English monarch's" first born son The prince of Wales, and that the WRU until recently included the motto "Ich Dien" which is German for "I serve", suggesting subservience to the "English monarchy". The creator of the petition stated "It is time for the Welsh rugby emblem to properly represent the people of Wales, not service to the son of an English monarch," also adding, "I propose a design of a red Welsh dragon without writing underneath."
Alternative logos
In October 2021, it was reported by Nation Cymru that the group YesCymru had proposed multiple alternative symbols for the WRU. These included prominent symbols of Wales including the leek, daffodil and harp.

Longdon is a district of Solihull, in the West Midlands, England. Located in the east of the town, it was historically a distinct settlement that pre-dated the planted borough of Solihull, but is now mostly contiguous with Solihull town center.
History
Longdon was once a clearing in the Forest of Arden with strips of land cleared and farmed in common. The first record of Longdon was as Langedone, meaning 'long hill' in 1086. The long hill is now Solihull's Marsh Lane and Yew Tree Lane, leading from the River Blythe up onto Elmdon Heath. The Manor's seat, Longdon Hall, was at its southern fringe on Copt Heath next to the settlement of Knowle. The manor bordered onto Knowle (then itself part of the Manor of Hampton in Arden), with Purnell's Brook (in Saxon times the Merebroc) acting as the boundary brook between the Knowle and Longdon manors, and later the parish boundary.
Alwin of Arden, nephew of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, had held the manor before the Norman Conquest and passed it to his son Thorkell of Arden. Thorkell passed it to his own son Siward de Arden. After Siward the manor passed to Ketelbern de Langdon.
Ketelbern founded Henwood Priory and gave his name to the settlement of Catherine-de-Barnes in Longdon (Catherine being a corruption of Ketlebern).
After the founding of Solihull as a planted borough between 1170 and 1180, the new settlement of Solihull began to subsume the settlement at Longdon.
At some stage the manor of Longdon came into the possession of Edward I.
Another settlement known as Copt Heath, which borders Knowle, is believed to take its name from Roger de la Coppe from 1247.
In the Western boundary of the manor was a farm called Malvern, belonging to Simon de Malverne, believed to be of Malvern in Worcestershire. It is recorded that Simon was assassinated in 1317. A moated site opposite the end of Marsh Lane is believed to be the de Malvern former home.
In 1371 Widney Manor was considered a sub manor of Longdon.
By the Elizabethan era the manor of Longdon had passed to the Greswolde family of Solihull, who had lived in Lime Tree House in Solihull (now erroneously known as the Manor House as no Lord of the Manor ever lived there). John Grewolde's daughter Alice married Thomas Dabridgecourt and the manor passed with her to him.
The Malvern area of Longdon had been the property of Parliamentarian commander Robert Greville. The Greville family remained important to the area, with Fulke Greville, 5th Baron Brooke being erroneously recorded as the Lord of the Manor of Longdon in 1682.
The Grewolde's remained in Longdon after the loss of the manor. In 1680 the Rev. Henry Greswolde, then rector of Solihull, bought Malvern Farm, in Longdon Manor, to establish a new family seat, which would be called Malvern Hall.
Opposite Malvern Hall to the rear is another Grade II listed property called Malvern House dating from the mid 17th century. This building was once home to Solihull School until they moved to their present site in 1882, and it is today used as offices.
In the 17th Century the old Longdon Hall was demolished and a new Longdon Hall constructed. By this point in history the integration of the settlement of Longdon into the larger settlement of Solihull was complete.
The manor of Longdon came to famous poet Lord Byron in 1815 by his marriage with Anne, daughter of Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, and on her death in 1860 passed to her grandson the Earl of Lovelace. Two roads in Solihull are named after the family, Lady Byron Lane and Lovelace Avenue. Longdon Hall, with its remaining manorial rights, was later bought by a solicitor, Mr. J. B. Clarke of Birmingham in 1899 and soon afterwards sold to Mr. Alfred Lovekin, a silversmith.
In the 1980s ownership of Longdon Hall passed to the adjacent Golf Club, known as Copt Heath Golf Club. The Hall was later sold privately in 2011. It is Grade II listed.
Geography
The Longdon area covers Malvern and Brueton Parks in Solihull town center, as well as the villages of Catherine-de-Barnes and the hamlet of Copt Heath.
Transport
Longdon is split in half by the M42 motorway, and is served by junction 5. The Grand Union Canal passes through the Longdon area and is served by Copt Heath wharf.

Adam Friedel or Adam Friedel von Friedelsburg (circa 1780 – circa 1868) – was a Danish military man, philhellene and buccaneer. He is known for the portraits he painted of the heroes of the Greek War of Independence.
Biography
After the Napoleonic Wars, where he served as an officer, Friedel travelled with a noble compatriot of his to the Ottoman Empire. He was initiated into the Filiki Eteria (Greek Society of Friends) and after numerous expeditions and missions in Russian territories, he ended up in Zakynthos. He witnessed the beginning of the Greek War of Independence in Peloponnese, where he enlisted in the army as a volunteer claiming to be Baron Friedel von Friedelsburg, a second lieutenant of aristocratic origin.
Friedel met many fighters of the Greek War of Independence in person such as Theodoros Kolokotronis, Nikitaras, Petrobehs Mavromichalis, Markos Botsaris, Demetrios Ypsilantis, Ioannis Kolettis, Alexandros Mavrokordatos, etc. He also gained the trust of Demetrios Ypsilantis with his cultivation and proficiency in Greek and was thus assigned a multitude of missions. In June 1822, though, a compatriot of his who was a Danish sub-lieutenant unveiled his lies. Friedel was then discharged from the Greek army and in 1823 he travelled to Egypt in order to gather funds from his expatriates for the Greek War of Independence. 1824 found him in Messolonghi with Lord Byron. However, when I.-I. Meyer published an article in the Greek newspaper Ellinika Chronika in which he warned philhellenic companies to avoid the fraudulent Friedel, he fled to London where he opened a lithographer’s shop.
Once his hopes of a military career evaporated, Friedel showed his talent at painting. The 24 real-life portraits of the leaders of the Greek War of Independence which he created, were lithographically printed and colorized by J. Bouvier. These portraits circulated in Paris and London between 1825 and 1826 thus aiding the philhellenic committees in their effort to raise awareness in Europe of the Greek War of Independence.
Because of health complications, Friedel was forced to leave England and head to southern France and then Italy before finally returning to Athens in 1849 where he was awarded two important decorations for his contribution to the Greek Struggle for Independence. He then travelled to Smyrna, where he taught at a Greek school for two years. Friedel stayed in the capital of the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean War where he painted the portraits of several politicians. For reasons relating to his therapy again, he stayed in Bohemia until 1861 before heading back to Athens. He left again in 1863 and after a short stay in Istanbul, he returned yet again to Athens in 1865. There, he submitted a report to King George consisting of supporting documents, claims and information about his life and his contributions to the cause of Greece’s Independence, asking for a pension for his services to the country. It is not known when and where he died.

Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration was a joint appeal of three cases decided in 1999 by Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal (CFA). Chief Justice Andrew Li, in the Court's unanimous opinion, held that mainland-born children of Hong Kong permanent residents enjoyed the right of abode, regardless of whether one of their parents have acquired Hong Kong permanent residency at the time of birth of the children.
The Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal held that it had jurisdiction in reviewing the consistency of legislations or acts of the National People's Congress (NPC) or the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) of the People's Republic of China with the Hong Kong Basic Law, and if legislations or acts of the executive were found to be inconsistent, the jurisdiction to hold NPC or NPCSC acts as invalid. The CFA judgment sparked serious controversy concerning the relationship between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the Central People's Government of China.
In an unprecedented move, the CFA issued a clarification under Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration (No 2) one month after the final appeal decision. The CFA clarified that it cannot question the authority of the NPCSC to do any act in accordance with provisions of the Basic Law and procedure therein.
Background
All applicants were Chinese nationals born on the Mainland. By the time of their birth, their respective fathers were Chinese citizens who had ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for a continuous period of not less than seven years. After the transfer of sovereignty to China on 1 July 1997, the applicants reported to the Immigration Department to assert their right of abode under Article 24(2)(3) of the Basic Law. The Director of Immigration failed to recognize their right. He arrested them and then released them on recognizances. The applicants instituted judicial review proceedings. They sought various declarations and orders quashing the Director's decisions.
Article 24(2)(3) of the Basic Law states that permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region include:
The Article had its origin in Part XIV in Annex I of the Sino-British Joint Declaration which elaborated China's basic policies over Hong Kong. Part XIV stated that Chinese nationals who were born or who have ordinarily resided in Hong Kong before or after the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for a continuous period of 7 years or more, and persons of Chinese nationality born outside Hong Kong of such Chinese nationals are qualified to obtain permanent identity cards. Schedule 1 to the Immigration Ordinance prior to 1 July 1997, in prescribing the categories of persons who were Hong Kong permanent residents, did not follow the categories defined in Article 24(2) of the Basic Law. By the Immigration (Amendment) (No 2) Ordinance enacted by the Provisional Legislative Council on 1 July 1997, the old schedule was replaced by a new Schedule 1. Paragraph 2(c) of the new Schedule 1 restricted permanent residency of persons born outside Hong Kong to:
On 10 July 1997, the Provisional Legislative Council further enacted the Immigration (Amendment) (No 3) Ordinance. It was deemed have retroactive effect and come into operation on 1 July 1997. A scheme to deal with the category of permanent residents by descent in paragraph 2(c) of Schedule 1 was introduced. Under this scheme, a person's status as a permanent resident under paragraph 2(c) can only be established by his holding of -
(a) a valid travel document issued to him and of a valid certificate of entitlement also issued to him and affixed to such travel document;
(b) a valid HKSAR passport issued to him; or
(c) a valid permanent identity card issued to him.
For persons under category (a), one can only establish his status of having the right of abode by holding a valid travel document and a valid certificate of entitlement affixed to the travel document. A notice dated 11 July 1997 and published on 16 July 1997 in the Hong Kong Government Gazette specified that the application for a certificate of entitlement by persons residing in the Mainland of China at the time of application must be made through the Exit-Entry Administration of the Public Security Bureau in the district where he is residing.
Hearing and rulings
Both the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal found that the Immigration (Amendment) (No 3) Ordinance was constitutional and retrospective provisions therein were not invalid. The Immigration (Amendment) (No 2) Ordinance was held unconstitutional for its intention to detract from the Basic law right right given in clear terms to persons born outside Hong Kong of permanent residents; it was held unconstitutional to deny the right of abode to illegitimate children. Under the judgment, applicants who entered the Hong Kong SAR without a one-way permit or a valid certificate of entitlement under the (No 3) Ordinance were to be deported to the Mainland pending appeal.
On appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, the applicants maintained that as they are permanent residents within Article 24(2) of the Basic Law, they have the right of abode as conferred by Article 24(3) of the Basic Law. Miss Cheung maintains that the fact that she was born out of wedlock should not affect her status as a permanent resident. The Director's position was that the applicants are subject to the scheme introduced by the Immigration (Amendment) (No 3) Ordinance 1997. Under the scheme, a person's status as a permanent resident by descent can only be established by holding a one way permit affixed with a certificate of entitlement. None of the applicants held such a permit, let alone a permit which was so affixed. By virtue of section 2AA(2) of the No 3 Ordinance, the Director argued that the applicants shall be regarded as not enjoying the right of abode.
The CFA unanimously decided the applicants were Hong Kong permanent residents at birth. The CFA overturned the Court of Appeals' judgment on the No 3 Ordinance; provisions requiring one-way permit issued by mainland authorities as a condition for exercising the "core" constitutional right of the right of abode were held unconstitutional. Provisions in the Immigration (Amendment) (No 3) Ordinance 1997 created new criminal offences, including offences relating to the making of an application for a certificate of entitlement for reward; the Court held retrospective provisions on certificates of entitlement were unconstitutional and declared the provisions null and void.
Jurisdiction of constitutional review
Before the CFA reviewed the constitutionality of the No 2 and No 3 Ordinances, the CFA stated its position as to the constitutional jurisdiction of the HKSAR and decided on the conditions for referring to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress interpretation of Basic Law provisions before deciding on cases.
The CFA held that, with regards to the power of constitutional review of local Hong Kong legislations, the courts of the HKSAR have a duty to enforce and interpret that Law in exercising their judicial power conferred by the Basic Law. They have the jurisdiction to examine whether legislation enacted by the legislature of the Region or acts of the executive authorities of the Region are consistent with the Basic Law and, if found to be inconsistent, to hold them to be invalid. The CFA considered the exercise of its jurisdiction is a matter of obligation, not of discretion so that if inconsistency is established, the courts are bound to hold that a law or executive act is invalid at least to the extent of the inconsistency.
More controversially, the CFA held that courts of the HKSAR have the jurisdiction to examine whether any legislative acts of the National People's Congress (NPC) or the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) are consistent with the Basic Law and to declare them to be invalid if found to be inconsistent. The rationale was that, the courts of the Region have independent judicial power within the high degree of autonomy conferred on the HKSAR under the Basic Law. It is therefore for the courts of the HKSAR to determine questions of inconsistency and invalidity when they arise, including the determination of whether an act of the NPC or NPCSC is inconsistent with the Basic Law.
Under Article 158 of the Basic Law, the CFA is required to seek an NPCSC interpretation in adjudicating cases, if it needs to interpret "excluded provisions" in the Basic Law concerning (a) affairs which are the responsibility of the Central People's Government, or (b) concerning the relationship between the Central Authorities and the Region, and if such interpretation will affect the judgments on the cases. The CFA decided that it has a duty to make a reference to the Standing Committee according to the Article if two conditions are satisfied:
the classification condition: the provisions concerned are excluded provisions; and
the necessity condition: the Court of Final Appeal in adjudicating the case needs to interpret such excluded provisions and such interpretation will affect the judgment on the case.
The CFA decided that it only needs to seek an interpretation if, as a matter of substance, the predominantly provision that has to be interpreted in the adjudication of the case is an excluded provision. For Ng Ka Ling v. Director of Immigration, the CFA decided that it need not refer to the NPCSC for interpretation of Article 24(2)(3) of the Basic Law.
Approach to Interpretation of the Basic Law
The CFA further laid down the proper approach to the interpretation of the Basic Law. The purposive approach was adopted, upon which courts must consider the purpose of the instrument and its relevant provisions as well as the language of its text in the light of the context, context being of particular importance in the interpretation. In relation to provision of rights and freedom of Hong Kong residents, the Court further stipulated a generous interpretation to the provisions in Chapter III of the Basic Law that contain these constitutional guarantees in order to give to Hong Kong residents the full measure of fundamental rights and freedoms so constitutionally guaranteed.
Legality of the Provisional Legislative Council
The appellants also submitted that the Provisional Legislative Council (PLC) which enacted the No.2 and No. 3 Ordinances was not a competent legislative body to enact these ordinances since it had no legal basis. The CFA decided that the Preparatory Committee for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region established the PLC with limited functions and for a limited time as an interim measure in order to fill the legislative vacuum before the first Legislative Council could be formed in accordance with the Basic Law and the NPC Decision on the Method for the Formation of the First Government and the First LegCo.
Clarification
The CFA's decision on its jurisdiction of reviewing the constitutionality of NPC or NPCSC acts was severely criticised by Chinese scholars and pro-Beijing factions in Hong Kong. On 7 February 1999, four former Mainland members of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee attacked the CFA judgment and stated that it had the effect of placing Hong Kong courts above the NPC, the supreme organ of state power under the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, and of turning Hong Kong into an independent political entity. Upon the visit of then-Secretary for Justice Elsie Leung to Beijing, it was reported that Chinese officials also criticised the Statement as unconstitutional and called for its "rectification".
On 24 February 1999, the Director of Immigration controversially filed a notice of motion applying for clarification of the part of the judgment in Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration which relates to the NPC and NPCSC, on the ground that the matter was of great constitutional, public and general importance. The CFA invoked its inherent jurisdiction and clarified its judgment on 26 February 1999 in Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration (No 2).
In the clarification, the CFA reiterated that the HKSAR courts' judicial power is derived from the Basic Law. Article 158(1) vests the power of interpretation of the Basic Law in the Standing Committee. The courts' jurisdiction to interpret the Basic Law in adjudicating cases is derived by authorization from the NPCSC under Articles 158(2) and 158(3). The CFA also clarified that its judgment on 29 January 1999 did not question the authority of the NPCSC to make an interpretation under Article 158 which would have to be followed by the courts of the HKSAR. The Court accepted that it cannot question the authority of the NPCSC to make an interpretation, or the authority of the NPC or NPCSC to do any act which is in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Law and the procedure therein.
Effects
After the CFA's interpretation of Article 24, then-Secretary for Security Regina Ip warned in the Legislative Council that a total of 1.67 million could move from Mainland China to Hong Kong within 10 years; if all of the 700000 eligible persons of the first generation were to be admitted within three years, 640 one-way permit holders, on average, would need to be admitted each day. Despite opposition, then-Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa made a report on 21 May 1999 to the Central People's Government of China in which he requested the Central Government to refer the relevant Basic Law provisions to the NPCSC for interpretation.
On 26 June 1999, the NPCSC responded to the request of the Chief Executive and issued an interpretation of Art.24(2)(3) of the Hong Kong Basic Law. The NPCSC stated that provisions interpreted by the CFA in Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration concern affairs which are the responsibility of the Central Authorities and the relationship between the Central Authorities and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The NPCSC also declared that the Court of Final Appeal, before making its judgment, failed to seek an interpretation of the provisions from the NPCSC in accordance with the provisions of Article 158(3) of the Basic Law. In its interpretation of Article 24(3), the NPCSC stated that mainland-born children of Hong Kong permanent residents enjoy the right of abode only if one of their parents have acquired Hong Kong permanent residency at the time of birth of the children.
In effect, the NPCSC interpretation overturned the CFA's decision in Ng Ka Ling v Director of Immigration. An amendment to the Immigration Ordinance moved by the Secretary for Security, encapsulating the NPCSC interpretation, was passed by the Legislative Council in July 1999.

Guðbjörg ÍS-46, commonly known as Guggan, was an Icelandic freezer trawler. Noted for its yellow colour and often called the flagship of the Icelandic fishing fleet, it was at the time the largest and most technical advanced fishing ship in Iceland. The ship's fate and the empty promises made in regards of its sale are often used as the prime example of the consequences that the Icelandic fishing quota system had on the rural parts of Iceland where ships and quotas were bought and transported elsewhere resulting in the financial collapse of the municipalities.
History
Built in Flekkefjord, Norway, for Hrönn ehf., Guðbjörg was delivered in 1994 and replaced an older trawler bearing the same name. In January 1997, the owner of Hrönn ehf. sold the company and Guðbjörgin to Samherji, a major fishing company located in Akureyri. Despite Samherji's CEO, Þorsteinn Már Baldvinsson, promising that "Guggan will remain yellow and have its home port in Ísafjörður" (Icelandic: "Guggan verður áfram gul og gerð út frá Ísafirði"), the trawler never landed its catch again in Ísafjörður. The quote ended up in popular culture as the epitome of empty promises in Iceland.
In February 1999, the ship was sold to Deutsche Fischfang Union in Germany, a company 99% owned by Samherji, and renamed Hannover NC-100.
In popular culture
In the Icelandic drama TV-show Blackport, the trawler Þorbjörg and its fate, that features heavily in the plot, are modeled after Guðbjörg.

Walls–Bridges is a live album by drummer Ed Blackwell. It was recorded in February 1992 at Hampden Theatre, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and was released by Black Saint in 1996. On the album, Blackwell is joined by saxophonist Dewey Redman and bassist Cameron Brown. The contents of the album were reissued in 2014 on The Complete Remastered Recordings On Black Saint & Soul Note. The album is one of Blackwell's last recordings; he died in October 1992.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "The concert... is an example of superior freebop. Although some of the music is boppish and there are explorations of Miles Davis' 'Half Nelson'... 'Everything Happens to Me' and 'Take the A Train,' there is also a lot of space for Redman's fairly free improvising. The communication between the three masterful musicians... is quite impressive, and overall this is a highly recommended set of explorative yet fairly accessible music."
Writing for Modern Drummer magazine, Mark Griffith commented: "we're hearing some outstanding three-way musical conversations. By listening to a group evolve right before your ears, you can greatly improve your understanding of musical communication... Let the title of... Walls–Bridges... stand for the obstacles [Blackwell] overcame and the connections he made between all genres of music: free, bebop, African and American."

Lesosibirsk State Pedagogical Institute () is a higher education institution founded on 22 June 1940 to train highly qualified teaching staff. It was reorganized on 4 May 1990 by joining Krasnoyarsk State University as a branch (since 2006 - Siberian Federal University).
History
On 22 June 1940, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR No. 463 and the order of the People's Commissariat for Education of the RSFSR No. 1011, the Yenisei Teachers' Institute was established on the basis of the Yenisei Pedagogical School with a two-year training period.

The United States Navy's 19BB (Barrier Boat) was built by Chuck's Boat and Drive of Longview, Washington in 2002 to deploy and maintain port security booms surrounding Navy ships and installations in port. The first boat of the 13 boat order was delivered in January 2003.
Originally designed to raft and pull floating logs for the commercial logging industry, the Barrier Boats are affectionately known as the Boomin Beaver by the sailors who operate them.
Chuck's Boats founder Chuck Slape had decades of experience building rugged boats serving the Pacific Northwest coast booming grounds. His powerful little 12 to 16-ft boats were known as "log broncs" due to the boat's action from the popular azimuth drive which would cause the boat to rear up like a rodeo horse when the props were spun around 180 degrees.
The BB19 features a 260 hp Cummins 6BTA 5.9l pod mounted engine paired with a ZF 4:1 reduction marine transmission powering a conventional propeller with a 36-in. nozzle. The L-drive configuration allows the boat to turn in 1.5 times its length, and delivers 7,000 to 7,500 pounds of bollard pull.
The General Services Administration auctioned one 19BB previously stationed at NSB Kings Bay in 2006, and remaining examples are still in use at the Boston Navy Yard, Naval Base Kitsap, Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Base Point Loma, and United States Fleet Activities Sasebo.

In 1890 a railway accident occurred in Quincy, Massachusetts that killed 23 people. It was the second major train wreck in the city, following the 1878 accident in Wollaston. The accident was caused by a jack that had been left on the track. The foreman of the crew that placed the jack on the track was charged with manslaughter, but the trial ended in a hung jury.
Accident
At 10:50 AM on August 19, 1890, the Old Colony Railroad's Woods Hole Express, consisting of a locomotive, baggage car, smoking car, Pullman car, and four coaches, departed Woods Hole with 391 passengers. Its riders were tourists from across the country who had vacationed in Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. It was scheduled to arrive in Boston at 1:10 PM.
Near the Adams Academy campus in Quincy, Old Colony maintenance workers had returned from break and were working on surfacing the road bed. They were working at the north end of a curve, which made it so that an oncoming train could not be seen for three or four hundred feet. In spite of this, foreman Joseph F. Welch chose not to send a flag out to warn oncoming trains.
Shortly after passing Quincy station, the express passed a gravel train. The engineer of the gravel train motioned indicating that the engineer of the express should whistle for people on the track. When the express was about 350 feet away from the work crew, the engineer used his whistle to warn of his train's approach. The men, who had not previously heard the express due to the passing gravel train, moved out of the way, but neglected to take a jack off of the rail. The Woods Hole Express struck the jack, which derailed the locomotive and plunged it into an embankment. The fireman was instantly killed, but the engineer survived. The tender, baggage car, smoker, and Pullman passed by the engine and were stretched out alongside the track. No one on these cars were seriously injured. The lead coach fell on top of the engine and its 50 passengers were thrown into the corner, killing many of them. The car then filled with steam from the engine fatally scalding several passengers who had not died in the collision. The three remaining coaches stayed on the track and their occupants were unharmed. In addition to the 12 people killed in the wreck, 11 later died from their injuries. Boston newspaper editor Edwin C. Bailey was among those who perished.
Prosecution
The Massachusetts Railroad Commission's report stated that "the immediate responsibility for this terrible accident rests upon Joseph F. Welch, the section master." Following an inquest, the district attorney chose to prosecute Welch. On September 5, a grand jury indicted Welch for manslaughter. His trial began on April 28, 1891. On May 1, after nine hours of deliberation, the jury was unable to reach a verdict. The jury was split 8 to 4, with the majority favoring acquittal.

Pioneer Cemetery, also known as the Pioneers Burial Ground and the Indian Fighters Cemetery, is a historic cemetery in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Dating to 1731, it stands on Gilman Road, around northeast of the Ledge Cemetery. It was the first public burial place in Old North Yarmouth, which was then part of Massachusetts.
Notable burials
Ebenezer Eaton (1674–1735), killed by Indians
Captain Peter Weare (1695–1743)
Joseph Weare (1737–1774), Indian fighter, son of Captain Peter, nicknamed the Scout
Deacon Jacob Curry Mitchell (1671–1744). His parents, Jacob and Susannah, were killed by Indians in at the commencement of King Philip's War in 1675. His father is buried in Yarmouth's Old Baptist Cemetery; the whereabouts of his mother's body is not known
Captain James Parker (1689–1732), one of five local men tasked in 1727 with the management of the new town of North Yarmouth. Their affairs included laying out the highways. He was also the town's first inn owner
Marker
The marker for the burial ground, which was attached to a boulder, was removed to the town's historical society in February 2019, having being in place for ninety years, because some people found the term describing the Abenaki Indians tribe "savage enemies" offensive. Information regarding the intended meaning of the text will be displayed alongside it at the museum.

Kalush (stylized in all caps) is a Ukrainian rap group formed in 2019. The group consists of founder and rapper Oleh Psiuk, multi-instrumentalist Ihor Didenchuk, and DJ MC Kilimmen. Didenchuk is also a member of electro-folk band Go_A. The group will represent Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song "Stefania".
History
Kalush was formed in 2019 and named after Psiuk's hometown of Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. The band's first music video for the song "Ne marynui" () was released on their official YouTube channel on October 17, 2019. The director of the video, Delta Arthur, is the director of many of Ukrainian rapper Alyona Alyona's videos. The video was shot on the streets of Kalush, and on the eve of its release, Alyona Alyona announced it on her Instagram account.
After the release of their second music video "Ty honysh" () in November 2019, Kalush signed an agreement with the American hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings. On February 19, 2021, the band's debut album Hotin was released. On July 23, 2021, Kalush together with rapper Skofka released their second album entitled Yo-yo ().
Kalush Orchestra
In 2021, Kalush announced the launch of a parallel project, Kalush Orchestra. Unlike the main band, Kalush Orchestra focuses on rap with folk motifs and Ukrainian traditional music. The core members of Kalush were joined by multi-instrumentalists Tymofii Muzychuk and Vitalii Duzhyk.
On February 12, 2022, Kalush Orchestra competed for the right to represent at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song "Stefania". In the final of the national selection Vidbir, they took second place with 14 points (six from the jury and eight from the audience). Psiuk believed that due to technical difficulties that occurred during the voting process, Alina Pash had been wrongly chosen as the winner. Despite coming in second place, the band were offered the chance to represent Ukraine after the withdrawal of Pash due to controversy regarding her travel history in Crimea. On 22 February, Kalush Orchestra accepted the offer. On the same day, the Ukrainian public broadcaster Suspilne published the official voting results of Vidbir 2022, confirming that Pash had been correctly chosen as the winner, contrary to Psiuk's claims.

A movement for the establishment of a national cricket team representing Wales.
Status Quo
Wales is currently represented by the England and Wales Cricket Board, however the team is known as ‘England’.
Clubs in Wales
Welsh Fire is a cricket club that plays in the hundred series.
The only "first-class cricket club in Wales" is Glamorgan County, a team that plays in the English county competition.
Previous Existence
A Wales team existed in the 1920s and 1930s playing against touring sides such as the West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand and secured a win against the West Indies. Wales competed in the 1979 ICC Trophy, winning two of four matches and narrowly missing out on a place in the semi finals.
Calls for a national cricket team
Wales Online noted that Scotland and Ireland have their own international cricket team despite less cricket players than Wales.
Jonathan Edwards MP called for a national Welsh cricket team in 2019 saying; “The greatest honour in any sport is to play for your national team – Welsh cricket players are denied that opportunity,”.
Bethan Sayed, Plaid Cymru's spokesperson on heritage, culture, sport and broadcasting argued in 2015 that “Wales is the second-oldest cricket playing country in the world, yet it is alone in the British Isles in not having its own national side. Even Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man have their own teams. Rugby and football players get to grow up dreaming of playing for Wales. But for those who love cricket there is no Welsh team to dream of playing for or to support.”

In finance, a ladder, also known as a Christmas tree, is a combination of three options of the same type (all calls or all puts) at three different strike prices. A long ladder is used by traders who expect low volatility, while a short ladder is used by traders who expect high volatility. Ladders are in some ways similar to strangles, vertical spreads, condors, or ratio spreads.
A long call ladder consists of buying a call at one strike price and selling a call at each of two higher strike prices, while a long put ladder consists of buying a put at one strike price and selling a put at each of two lower strike prices. A short ladder is the opposite position, in which one option is sold and the other two are bought. Often, the strike prices are chosen to make the ladder delta neutral. All three options must have the same expiry date.
The term ladder is also used for an unrelated type of exotic option, and the term Christmas tree is also used for an unrelated option combination similar to a butterfly.
Terminology
The different types of ladders have alternative names:
A long call ladder is also called a bull call ladder.
A short call ladder is also called a bear call ladder.
A long put ladder is also called a bear put ladder.
A short put ladder is also called a bull put ladder.
A ladder can be seen as a modification of a bull spread or a bear spread with an additional option: for instance, a bear call ladder is equivalent to a bear call spread with an additional long call. A bull put ladder is equivalent to a bull put spread with an additional long put. These terms can be confusing, as they do not correspond to the usual concepts of "bullish" and "bearish" in finance. For instance, a bear call ladder is in fact an overall bullish strategy.
Characteristics
A long ladder is similar to a short strangle but with limited risk in one direction (the downside for a call ladder and the upside for a put ladder), while a short ladder is similar to a long strangle but with limited profit potential in one direction (again, the downside for a call ladder and the upside for a put ladder). A ladder is also similar to a condor, the key difference being that a condor has an additional option; for example, a long call condor is similar to a long call ladder but with an extra call at a higher strike.
A ladder's Greeks are generally similar to a strangle. Generally, a short ladder is long gamma, short theta, and long vega, while a long ladder is short gamma, long theta, and short vega. A short ladder has limited risk and unlimited potential profit, while a long ladder has unlimited risk and limited potential profit.
A ladder has two break-even points.
Execution
Because a ladder is a somewhat complex spread, it may not be listed directly on electronic exchanges, so traders wishing to trade one may need to make two or three transactions to construct the position, or communicate with a broker or market maker to specify the desired trade.

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a novel by Ukrainian writer Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky written in 1911 about his stay in the Hutsul region. The work described the love of Ivan and Marchka, two Hutsuls from rival families, which ends tragically for both. It focuses on aspects of Hutsul life and incorporates elements of folklore.
In 1960, a ballet with music by Vitaly Kyreiko was staged based on the book. In 1964, a film adaptation of the novel by Sergei Parajanov was screened.
Plot
Two children, Ivan and Marichka, live in a village near the Cheremosh river. Because of his solitude and curiosity about witchcraft and evil spirits, Ivan's mother believed him to be a changeling, a fairy left in place of a stolen human child. On his seventh birthday, Ivan hears a strange sound, despite being all alone. He later learns about the long-standing rivalry between the Paliychuk and Gutenyuk families, and witnesses an assassination attempt on his father, who succumbs to his wounds a few days later. In retaliation, Ivan attacks Marichka, who is the daughter of the killer, and throws her hair ribbons into the river. However, over time, the two forget about the incident.
Ivan and Marichka begin taking care of their families' grazing sheep together and eventually fall in love by the age of thirteen. However, since the death of Ivan's father, the economy has been in steep decline. The young man now goes to work in the meadow in the summer, shepherding sheep, milking them, and making bundz and bryndza.
One night, while he is guarding the bonfire, Marichka sees him again. But once he returned home from the meadow, he learned that Marichka was killed in a flood. He finds the body of his beloved and, overwhelmed by grief, wanders the mountains and living off the land. He is considered to be dead in the village.
Six years later, Ivan once again returns home. He says he worked as a shepherd in Hungary. He marries a girl from a rich local family and settles down. However, his wife begins to consort with a man named Yura, a molfar who allegedly wields powerful magic, behind his back. Because of this, Ivan starts a fight with Yura at the bar in the local in and manages to wound him, but the molfar broke his weapon. Ivan leaves, but suspects that the molfar is slowly killing him with sorcery. Later, he spies on Yura, and sees him stabbing a doll, sending illness and death.
Ivan returns to the place where he once walked with Marichka, and she appears to him in the form of a mavka, a forest spirit. Suddenly she disappears, and Ivan starts a fire. Attracted by the fire, the Chuhaister, patron god of the forests, approaches Ivan. It asks where the mavka is, but, remembering a legend that the Chuhaister hunts mavka, Ivan does not reveal that he had seen Marichka. The Chugaister invites him to dance, playing a song from Ivan's childhood. Exhausted from the dance, Ivan falls asleep. However, the voice of the mavka calls him deeper into the forest, and he follows to search for his beloved. While walking through thick underbrush, he falls into a precipice and is severely injured. The next day, local shepherds find him alive but badly wounded, and he soon succumbs to his injuries.
Ivan is buried according to the local customs, with dances and song. The revelry at the funeral quickly grows, and to the beat of the dance, Ivan's body begins to shake, as if alive, to the tune of the trembita.
History
In 1910, Mykhailo Kotsiubynky visited the Carpathian village of Kryvorivnya. His short stay in the area was not enough to give him material to write an entire novel, but the picturesque nature and pristine life of the inhabitants gave him a lasting desire to write about the Hutsul people. He later visited the region again, and stayed to study the customs, life, and folklore of the locals. According to Kotsiubynsky, Hutsuls in the 20th century remained pagans, and his impressions of the magic captivity of the mountain-dwelling people formed the basis for his story.
Characters
Ivan Paliychuk: Central character in the story, the 19th child in his family, though most of his siblings died young. He is a social outcast and often flees into the woods. He is well acquainted with herbs and knows many stories about evil spirits.
Marichka Gutenyuk: Ivan's lover from the rival Gutenyuk family. Has poetic talent, and composes and sings songs. When Ivan leaves, she is killed in a flood and later manifests herself to him as a mavka, leading him to his death.
Palagna: A girl from a rich family whom Ivan marries after Marichka's death. However, she is upset with Ivan and does not understand him or his songs. She has an affair with a neighbor, a molfar named Yura, and approves of his sorcery.
Yura: A molfar endowed with supernatural abilities. He has the ability to control the weather, save livestock, and harm people. He seeks to cause illness and death for Ivan.
Adaptations
In 1964, a film adaptation by Sergei Parajanov based on the novel was released. The main roles were played by Ivan Mykolaychuk (Ivan), Larysa Kadochnikova (Marichka), Tetyana Bestaeva (Palagna), and Spartak Bagashvili (Yura).
In 2014, Vinnytsia hosted a literary and artistic project called "Tour of One Work" which was dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky. The event included an exhibition of the writer's office, a theatrical presentation based on "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors," and a video installation. The theatrical presentation alternated between excerpts from the novel and stories about the process of its creation.
In 1960, a ballet adaptation by Vitaly Kyreiko was created. It premiered at the Lviv Theater and its libretto was created by Natalia Skorulska and Florian Kotsyubynsky. The ballet was staged again at the Kyiv Opera, and a 1990 ballet film was released based on this second performance.

Colombian singer Shakira has performed on six concert tours of which four are worldwide, six one-off concerts, four benefit concerts and nine music festivals.
Pies Descalzos Tour, Anfibio Tour and Tour of the Mongoose
Her 1997 debut concert tour, Pies Descalzos Tour, took place in North America, South America, and one country in Europe alone, grossing over US$5 million (based on as-record figures). In 2003 she performed on her Anfibio Tour, which visited only North and South America, earning more than 10 million dollars (based on the figures of which there are second records), being a success and being a total sold in countries like Brazil, something never seen before for a Latin artist. It was until the global success of her album "Laundry Service" which would lead to one of the most successful tours in Shakira's career with the "Tour of the Mongoose" being until then the highest grossing of her career being a success in assistance in countries such as France, USA, UK, Brazil and more countries. A figure almost never before reached by a Latin artist, much less from South America. Thanks to this tour, Shakira became the first Latin female artist to perform at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Argentina (River Plate's stadium), the sold-out show was attended by more than 60,000 people. The concert in Santiago, Chile, broke Luis Miguel's record for the most expensive concert tickets in the country due to Shakira's enormous worldwide popularity and high demand. The show at the Pabellón Atlántico, Lisbon, has attracted 19,136 people, breaking the attendance record held by the American rock trio R.E.M.
Oral Fixation World Tour
Years after the success of her first international tour Shakira would embark on her second world tour thanks to the success of her albums Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2, Shakira once again embarked on a tour called "Oral Fixation World Tour" on which is her first tour where he visits countries on the Asian continent such as India and the United Arab Emirates because she was unable to do so with her previous tour due to the Covid outbreak of those years. She has broken many records during this tour. In Athens, she is the first female singer to have a show at the Olympic Stadium, attracting more than 40,000 people. In Timiosara, she is the only female singer who performed at the Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu (with more than 30,000 spectators) until 2017. At the American Airlines Arena in Miami, she holds the record for having the most shows (5 shows) in the place as a woman. artist with only one tour. In Cairo, more than 100,000 people accompanied Shakira at her concert on the Giza Plateau. This sets the record for having the highest attendance in Egypt's concert history. At the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, she had 8 shows in the venue consecutively, holding the record for having the most shows in the venue as a female artist. She had a sold-out show at the Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera in Guayaquil with over 42,000 people, becoming the only female singer playing there. In Santiago, his first show at Movistar Arena quickly sold out and he later added a second show at the Estadio Nacional which also sold out completely. This tour became the artist's highest-grossing tour and the highest grossing Latin tour of all time.
The Sun Comes Out World Tour and El Dorado World Tour
To promote the albums She Wolf and Sale el Sol Shakira began her tour The Sun Comes Out, being a success and breaking more attendance records for a Latin artist in general than ever before witnessed. She visited a total of 107 countries raising nearly 80 million dollars and breaking records in Mérida (Mexico) where she broke the attendance record where 170,000 people attended. The concert in Lebanon was attended by 28,000 people, breaking the country's all-time attendance record. It was one of the highest-grossing tours of 2010. According to Pollstar, the tour grossed a total of $16.9 million during its North American dates, making it number 40 on Pollstar's "Top 50 North American Tours" year-end 2010 list.
Years later without any tour presented in almost 6 years Shakira embarked on a new tour to promote her most recent record material "El Dorado" raising 70 million dollars breaking records again in countries like Mexico where she was the first female artist to fill the Stadium Azteca twice in a row and in Ecuador, broke the record previously held by Bruno Mars for having sold the most tickets during a presale period.

The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) is a Colorado-based organization that works to complete, promote, and protect the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (abbreviated as CDT or CDNST). The CDT is used by hikers, equestrians, and (in some sections) mountain bikers, and runs approximately 3,000-miles along the Continental Divide from Mexico to Canada. The trail crosses five states: New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, and is considered one of the three Triple Crown of Hiking trails in the United States (the others are the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail).
The Continental Divide Trail Coalition is the official non-profit organization that works under a memorandum of understanding signed in 2020 with the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service in 2020. CDTC activities include stewardship and trail protection advocacy, community building in towns along the corridor of the CDT, and the production and dissemination of trail information – via publications, its website, and in-person events throughout the region – for hikers, backpackers, and other outdoor recreationists.
History
The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail was established as a National Scenic Trail in 1978, when the U.S. Congress approved the expansion of the National Trails System Act of 1968. The National Trails System Act of 1968 established the first two national scenic trails (the Appalachian and the Pacific Crest trails) and designated other trails, including the CDT, to be studied for possible later inclusion in the system. At the time the CDT gained standing as a national scenic trail, it was not one unified trail. Rather, it existed as a hodgepodge of often unconnected and unmarked trails, many of which could only be linked together by cross-country travel or by walking on roads.
The Continental Divide Trail Society was the first organization to advocate for a unified continuous trail to be built along the Continental Divide, or, where that was impossible due to geography or land ownership, as close to the geographic divide as possible. Founded by Baltimore-based trail enthusiast Jim Wolf in 1978, the CDTS primarily served the needs of potential hikers by publishing early guidebooks, serving as a clearing house for information, and advocating for its preferred routes to the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, the lead agency charged with overall management of the trail.
However, the trail needed an organization to coordinate the efforts of trail volunteers and maintainers and to work with local communities. In 1995, the Continental Divide Trail Alliance was formed; in 1999, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in Washington, D.C. establishing the CDTA as the leading non-governmental organization to partner with the U.S. government agencies in working toward the completion of the CDT. In 2012, the organization was disbanded subsequent to funding issues. The CDTC was formed in June, 2012, with the goal of replacing the CDTA and working toward completing, promoting, and protecting the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail; in 2020, with the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding, the CDTC took on the official partnership role formerly held by the CDTA.
Mission and Advocacy
The CDTC's mission is to complete, protect, and promote the CDT. To encourage support for the trail, it creates reaches out to its stakeholders—a broad, geographically distanced conglomeration of local businesses, land managers, hikers, conservationists, trail community supporters, and other outdoor enthusiasts. In New Mexico, it worked with the New Mexico State Land Office to make it easier for CDT hikers and equestrians to obtain permits needed to cross state trust lands. In Wyoming, it worked to relocate a segment of trail in order to highlight Wyoming's mountain scenery. Early in 2022, The CDTC announced that it received a $150,000 grant from the Great Outdoors Colorado Board to fund a fellowship program that would support community engagement and trail stewardship by providing on-the-job training that would prepare young people for careers in the outdoors.
Trail completion has been a long-term issue facing the Continental Divide Trail. Like other multi-thousand-mile trails, which often take decades to finish, CDT advocates have faced issues such as trail continuity, relations with land owners suspicious of government projects, multiple-use debates, trail routing and relocation issues necessitated by land-use conflicts, development, and wildfires; and lack of volunteers to create and maintain trail. The CDT has partnered with corporate sponsors. Corporate sponsorships can include adopting a trail segment and partnering with the Forest Service, the coalition, and volunteers, to complete it. They also include organizing fundraising events in which the general public hike and trek to raise money for the CDTC. Support also comes from fundraising efforts by individual backpackers (often long-distance hikers) who are committed to the trail.
CDTC Gateway Communities
To create mutually supportive relationships with local communities, the CDTC has created a Gateways Communities program, which publicizes the positive economic impact of proximity to an internationally recognized long-distance hiking trail. It participates at the local level to bring attention to the trail as a resource that benefits local businesses, local recreationists, and visitors. Partnership activities between the CDTC and the Gateway Communities depend on the needs of both the trail and the community: Projects include re-routing segments of trail to new and better locations, obtaining easements, organizing volunteers to build and maintain trail segments, and supporting hikers. For example, volunteers in Lake City, Colorado, provide free rides to hikers, and benefit from the money spent by hikers on lodging and food, and on gear sales and repair, shuttle and transportation services, and guide services. Calling the CDT “one of the one of the most significant trail systems in the world,” South Fork, Colorado, organizes volunteer projects and donates bicycles for hikers to use to get around town when they are resupplying.
Hiker Education and Support
The CDT is the most remote and least used of the so-called Triple Crown Trails. In 2021, the CDTC estimated there were approximately 400 attempts to thru-hike in 2021.(A thru-hike is a hike of the entire length of the trail within a calendar year. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy estimates that approximately 4000 people attempted to thru-hike the AT in 2019; the Pacific Crest Trail Association reports that in 2019, nearly 1,200 thru-hikers completed the PCT.)
The CDTC supports long-distance backpackers with a website, publications, and maps that provide information necessary for planning a trip (of any length), including current information about water sources and trail conditions. It also organizes a shuttle service to the remote southern terminus of the trail in the spring (when northbound thru-hikers start their journeys), and in the fall (for those finishing a southbound hike). Its volunteers maintain water caches in some long waterless stretches of the trail. The organization also hosts an annual “trail days” celebration at the beginning of the thru-hiking season. This so-called “kick-off” is a combination of a community celebration and educational event in which hikers can meet and share information before they embark on their journeys.
In 2020, the CDTC asked long-distance backpackers to postpone their hikes because of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerned that hikers could spread the disease to rural communities that had limited medical facilities.
As a result of continuing concerns about COVID-19, in both 2020 and 2021 the CDTC's trail days celebration was virtual. While the original in-person event had been scheduled for Silver City, New Mexico, the virtual event was publicized along the entire length of the trail, from New Mexico to Colorado to Montana, and was available via online streaming.

Andreas Buchwald "Andy" Rechnitzer (November 30, 1924 - August 22, 2005) was an American oceanographer. With Carl Hubbs, he discovered the striped yellow butterfly fish that served as the logo of the Birch Aquarium. He helped develop the first SCUBA diving training program for ocean scientists, which included such innovations as ditch-and-don, buddy breathing, and the buddy system. He was a member of the US Navy Office of Naval Research team that negotiated the purchase of the bathyscape Trieste, and was the scientist in charge of Project Nekton in 1960, during which the Triete entered the Challenger Deep, the deepest surveyed point in the world's oceans. For this he received the Navy Distinguished Civilian Service Award. He joined the scientific staff of the Chief of Naval Operations, where he was the Oceanographer of the Navy from 1970 to 1984, and was the Senior Scientist at Science Applications International Corporation from 1985 to 1998.
Biography
Andreas Buchwald Rechnitzer was born in on Escondido, California,on November 30, 1924. During World War II he graduated from the United States Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School at Fort Schuyler, New York, in 1945, and was commissioned as an ensign in the US Naval Reserve. He returned to college after the war and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan State University in 1947 and a Master of Science from the University of California in Los Angeles in 1951. He wrote his 1955 Doctor of Philosophy thesis on A serological approach to the systematics of the viviparous sea-perches, family Embiotocidae under the supervision of Carl Hubbs at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. With Hubbs he discovered the striped yellow fish that served as the logo of the Birch Aquarium.
In 1950, while still a graduate student, Rechnitzer and Conrad (Connie) Limbaugh devised the first the first SCUBA diving training program for ocean scientists, although the term SCUBA had not yet been coined. Their course included such innovations as ditch-and-don, buddy breathing, and the buddy system. Their equipment consisted of two Aqualung diving regulators (the third and fourth sold in the United States), a triple-tank unit, and a single tank. The were no diving instructors or diving shops, and the wet suit had yet to be invented. They drafted the first unofficial training, operational and safety procedures. Training was conducted in the swimming pool at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. During a dive to off Guadalupe Island, Mexico, Rechnitzer speared a new species of striped yellow butterfly fish, which was subsequently adopted for use on the logo of the Birch Aquarium.
After graduating from Scripps, Rechnitzer became the Deep Submergence Research Program Coordinator and Oceanographer at the Naval Electronics Laboratory in San Diego. In this role he was instrumental in persuading the US Navy to purchase the bathyscape Trieste, from Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard. In the Trieste he made a descent to , a record at the time. He was the scientist in charge of Project Nekton in 1960, during which the Triete entered the Challenger Deep, the deepest surveyed point in the world's oceans, and dived to . For this he received the Navy Distinguished Civilian Service Award from President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He then went to Rockwell International, where he was in charge of the development of the Beaver IV submersible.
Rechnitzer left Rockwell in 1970, and became the Science and Technology Advisor in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. He headed the Navy's Deep Submergence Systems Division from 1970 to 1973, and then served as Oceanographer of the Navy from 1974 to 1978. He became an adjunct professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in 1977. In 1974, he was the US Navy representative on the National Geographic and Duke University expedition to determine the location of the wreck of the , an American Civil War-era ironclad warship. He was also involved in the discovery of the wreck of the British Royal Mail Steamship Tweed, which sank on Scorpion Reef in 1847, and the English merchantman Holiday that sank there in 1823.
Awards Rechnitzer received included the Academy of Underwater Arts and Sciences' NOGI Award for sciences in 1968, for distinguished Service in 1989, and for sports and education in 1999 and 2007. He is the only person to have won the NOGI award three times. He was made an honorary citizen of the city of San Diego and an honorary life member of the National Geographic Society. He was the Diego Chamber of Commerce's Outstanding Man of the Year in 1960 and 1961.
Rechnitzer died at Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, California, on August 22, 2005. He was survived by his wife Alice, daughter Andrea, and sons, David, Martin and Michael.

Biden v. Texas (Docket 21–954) is a pending United States Supreme Court case related to administrative law and immigration.
Background
In December 2018 under the Trump administration, the United States Department of Homeland Security announced its promulgation of the Remain in Mexico policy, formally titled the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while officials reviewed their case. Soon after, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California enjoined its enforcement. In May 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stayed the preliminary injunction pending disposition of the appeal. In February 2020, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the preliminary injunction, over the dissent of Judge Ferdinand Fernandez, and in March, the same panel denied a request by the federal government to stay the injunction pending disposition of a petition for writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court granted that request, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissenting. In October 2020, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal. After President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the Court held the case in abeyance. It vacated the Ninth Circuit's judgment as moot in June after the government rescinded MPP.
In April 2021, Texas and Missouri challenged the rescission of MPP in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. In August, Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk held the rescission of MPP was arbitrary and capricious, agreeing with the states that allowing asylum seekers to stay within the United States imposed undue costs on these states, and issued a permanent injunction. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied a stay pending appeal, as did the Supreme Court, the latter in a 6–3 vote. In December, the Fifth Circuit again ruled against the federal government, this time on the merits of the appeal.
The federal government filed a petition for a writ of certiorari.
Supreme Court
Certiorari was granted in the case on February 18, 2022.

Susanna-Assunta Sansone is a British-Italian data scientist who is professor of data readiness at the University of Oxford where she leads the data readiness group and serves as associate director of the Oxford e-Research Centre. Her research investigates techniques for improving the interoperability, reproducibility and integrity of data.
Early life and education
Sansone is from Italy. She was an undergraduate student at the University of Naples Federico II. She earned her bachelor's degree in molecular biology and a PhD in microbiology at Imperial College London, where she worked in St Mary's Hospital, London. Her thesis investigated the role of the cofactored enzyme superoxide dismutase in the virulence of Salmonella.
Research and career
After earning her doctorate, she moved to Microscience Ltd, where she characterised vaccine strains. In 2001, Sansone joined the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) where she worked in research data management. Sansone joined the University of Oxford in 2010. She became concerned that whilst there were vast amounts of data in the public domain, the majority of it was not reusable. To make data reusable, Sansone encourages researchers to combine their data with metadata: a description of what the data means. Sansone has described data reproducibility as “the foundation of every scientific field,”.
Sansone's research investigates strategies to enable the creation of research objects that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). She co-founded the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Data in 2013, and serves as chair of the Research Data Alliance. She co-authored the FAIR data principles in 2016, a set of guidelines for the scientific ecosystem. FAIR principles have since been adopted by funding bodies, scientific publishers and the private sector. Sansome works with partners to deliver data stewardship and data governance training and to develop guidelines to make data more accessible. She is one of the co-creators the FAIR Cookbook, an online resource for life scientists to enable them to keep FAIR data. Her research has been funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the European Union.

Eve (sometimes, "Eva") Hadday Brodlique was born in Cornwall, England, 1867. Her parents were Frederick Cornish Brodlique, and Elizabeth Hadday (or Haddy). There was one sibling, a sister, Clara Elizabeth Brodlique. Jean Blewett was Brodlique's cousin. The family emigrated to London, Ontario when Eve was young.
Brodlique was educated in Canada, England, and the United States.
Career
Her professional career began while she was yet a school girl at her home in London, Ontario, from which place she sent occasional specials to the Toronto papers. Beginning when she was 17 years old, and using the pen name, "Willice Wharton", Brodlique was the special representative for the London Advertiser at the House of Commons at Ottawa, being the first and the only woman who did regular telegraphic political work from the Dominion Parliament. This work in the press gallery lasted for three sessions. Although holding decided political opinions of her own, she made unbiased reports, and was equally poular with the representatives of both parties.
When Brodlique thought about transferring her activities to the United States, she thought that New York City would be the place to continue her journalism career, but an opportunity came to travel with a friend to Chicago, and she took it. Brodlique arrived in Chicago in 1894, and started studying at the University of Chicago. Two years later, she became a writer at the Chicago Times-Herald, becoming its women's department editor, a post she held for a number of years. At the same time, she was writing for the Chicago Evening Post. In 1897, she represented the Chicago Times-Herald at the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in London, England. She was also a contributor to the Cosmopolitan, Munsey's, Frank Leslie's, and McClure's.
Brodlique was successful writing editorials, specials, poems, romances, and plays. A Training School for Lovers, the title of her first play, was a one-act presentation of one woman's sacrifice of her heart's desire to secure the happiness of another woman. Her poems had a simplicity and directness of feeling. There was an under-current of sadness in her verses that seemed unnatural for one so young unless they understood how Brodlique had suffered: that she was the last of her name; that she had buried everyone in her family; and that she felt alone in the world. She also wrote a volume of short stories. Of her short stories, the most popular were her representations of life among the fisher-folk of rock-girt Cornwall. Of these stories, Blewett said:— "No one can hope to master Cornish humor or Cornish sentiment, to say nothing of Cornish dialect, who has not the birthright to a knowledge of these difficult things as has Eve Brodlique."
Brodlique was a member of the Chicago Woman's Club. In 1893, she served as corresponding secretary of the Woman's National Press League.
In 1897, she was elected president of the Chicago Press League. Brodlique was one of the most versatile writers in thel eague. She could jump from politics to fashion, from prose to poetry, from humor to pathos, and write a dramatic criticism as well as an article on art. She was "Peg Woffington" of "The Matinee Girl" column in a popular afternoon paper, and once a week, "Evelyn" on fashions, and nearly every day, had about two columns on a bit of everything without a signature.
During the 1897 World's Fair, she belonged to the editorial staff of the Chicago Post, and kept to the fore the Canadian exhibit and the people from Canada who attended the fair. She also attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919–1920.
Personal life
Broadlique returned to Canada in August 1896, touring Quebec and Ontario.
In 1899, she married Leland Laflin Summers (d. 1927), Consulting Engineer of the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad company and the La Bella Mining company of Denver, Colorado. Afterwards, they lived in Denver. They had one child, a son, Leland Llewellyn Brodlique Summers (1903–1948).
Brodlique resided at "Summerslea", an estate on Long Island. She died in a sanitarium in Saugerties, New York, October 10, 1949. Burial was in Woodstock, New York.

}The Barito Bridge (Jembatan Barito) is a 3,506 feet (1.07 kilometers) long, single decked, multi-span suspension bridge in South Kalimantan, Indonesia that spans the Barito River. It is the longest suspension bridge in Indonesia and a major tourist attraction. The bridge serves as the direct link between the rural communities of Central Kalimantan to the urban center of Banjarmasin.
History
Construction of the bridge began in 1994. It was completed 4 years later in 1997. It was inaugurated by Indonesia's second president, Suharto. The bridge is still in use as of 2022, and remains the longest suspension bridge in Indonesia, a record that was noted in the Museum Rekor Indonesia.
Geography
The bridge is located in South Kalimantan province, in Barito Kuala Regency, on the island of Borneo in the Indonesian Archipelago. It carries the Trans-Kalimantan Highway Southern Route across the Barito River and Bakut Island about 22.6 miles (36.5 kilometers) north of where the river empties into the Java Sea.
Structure
The bridge has three main spans across the Barito River and Bakut Island, with a total length of 3,506 feet (1.07 kilometers). The main span is 787.4 feet (240 meters) long. The piers are made of reinforced concrete, and the pylons and deck truss are made of steel, fabricated in Australia and then shipped to the site. The bridge is one of the only in the world to use a dual asymmetric cable arrangement.
Tourism
Being Indonesia's longest suspension bridge, it is an important tourist attraction in the region. There is also significant tourism demand on Bakut Island under the bridge, where proboscis monkeys can be seen.
Future
The government of Barito Kuala Regency has invested significant money into further popularizing the bridge and its surrounding area as a destination. There are plans to build Barito Regions Park, the proposed model featuring a family amusement park and onsite hotel.

The Cameron machine, later known as the Quay machine and Penrose machine, was a Republican political machine in Pennsylvania that controlled much of the state's politics for seven decades. Founded by antislavery Know Nothing and Republican Simon Cameron, it passed into control of his son J. Donald Cameron, later controlled by Matthew Quay and finally Boies Penrose. The organization was financially and fiscally conservative, favoring higher protective tariffs and representing business interests.
The elder Cameron's leadership skills were contrasted with the weaker political abilities of his son Donald, and several Republican defeats resulted in a transfer of machine power into the hands of Quay, who proved to utilize the machine's powers with shrewd effectiveness. The baton of machine boss was then passed for a final time to Penrose, whose death ended its power and influence.
History and timeline
Simon Cameron establishes the machine
The state Republican machine of Pennsylvania was first established by Simon Cameron, originally a Jacksonian Democrat who became a Know Nothing and eventually joined the Republican Party. Cameron, who previously in 1845 organized a coalition of Whigs, Know Nothings, and protectionist Democrats that elected him to the Senate, rode the coattails of the rising Republican Party influence around 1860 to form the machine that would prove influential for decades to come.
Previously a businessman, Cameron wielded power over state jobs and contracts to exert and cement his influence after his election to the United States Senate in the 1866 elections. Among patronage decisions, he transacted loans from Middletown Bank to loyal Republicans.
Baton of machine boss handed from father to son
In 1877, Cameron became a U.S. senator from Pennsylvania following the resignation of his father. Despite obtaining such an important post in addition to assuming leadership of the elder Cameron's political machine (which resulted in effectively being the Pennsylvania Republican Party "boss"), his political skills were lacking, in addition to charisma. While a consistent party loyalist, Cameron seldom spoke on the Senate floor or introduced legislation.
Although generally quiet, Cameron was outspoken in his support for protective tariffs, a position held by most Republicans.
During the 1880 presidential election, Cameron served as the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Aligned with congressional conservative Stalwarts led by Roscoe Conkling, he supported nominating former president Grant to run for an unprecedented, non-consecutive third term.
In 1882, factionalism divided the Pennsylvania GOP and handed a victory to Democrats when roughly 40,000 Liberal Republicans, pejoratively deemed "Half-Breeds" by the Republican machine, bolted from the party in the gubernatorial election that year to vote for an "Independent Republican" candidate. Several years later in the mid-1880s, Cameron was replaced as machine leader by Matthew S. Quay, who proved to surpass the former in influence and capabilities.
The Federal Elections Bill of 1890 introduced by conservative Republican Massachusetts senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr., narrowly passed the House by a party-line vote and faced a blockade in the Senate. Western liberal Republicans opposed the bill under the belief that the stance would draw support from Southern Democrats into their pro-free silver cause, while some Northern pro-business Republicans such as Cameron and Quay emphasized protective tariffs. Although the Pennsylvania senatorial duo did not oppose the legislation, they prioritized the tariff issue and did comparably little to help pass the Lodge bill.
In the 1896–97 elections, Cameron declined to run for another term due to the increasing intraparty power of Quay.
Quay replaces Don Cameron as boss
Amidst discord among the Pennsylvania GOP, Quay developed a shrewd strategy to prevent another party demise. He raided the state treasury, exerting sharp control over the office and dispensed patronage in the forms of loans to political allies. Quay would state on the matter:
Quay raids the treasury and executes a developed strategy
Although such actions were considered robbery, treasury-raiding was prevalent during the era due to treasurers often being selected by state legislatures. However, growing demands for civil service reform in the 1880s would eventually lead to elections of state treasurers by popular vote. Quay's strategy emphasized three principles:
Ensuring his own victory of the Treasurer election.
Electing Beaver Governor of Pennsylvania.
Getting himself elected U.S. senator from Pennsylvania by the legislature.
In Quay's view, securing a Republican victory in the state treasurer election of 1885 would bolster party efforts in the 1886 midterms, which, if successful, could coalesce a solid party base that sweeps him to victory in 1887. He began in 1885 by meeting with newspapers and independent voters who had opposed the main GOP candidate in the 1882 gubernatorial election, successfully ensuring in most circumstances that they would be supportive or would only voice minimal opposition. The New York Times commented:
Following the 1885 victories came spring of 1886, where Quay worked to elect Beaver. Aside advising Beaver to emphasize the protective tariff in speeches, Quay admonished him to remain quiet and stay behind the scenes, asserting:
At the GOP convention held in July that year, Beaver clinched the nomination and would proceed to emerge victorious in the general election. Pennsylvania Republicans thus returned to power in the state government, and Quay would be rewarded the following year.
U.S. Senate
In the 1886–87 midterm elections, Quay ran for and won election to the U.S. Senate, his victory ensured by grateful Republicans in the Pennsylvania legislature. He soon became the leader of the powerful Pennsylvania political machine, replacing the relatively weak leader Donald "Don" Cameron. A newspaper favorable towards the Democratic Party commented:
"Practical" referred to a tendency to use "whatever means necessary" in order to be elected and maintain power. "Loyal" meant granting patronage to political allies and followers.
In the Senate, Quay, who had American Indian heritage, notably emerged as a defender of Indian tribes and opposed excluding the Chinese from immigrating to the United States. He voted for higher protective tariffs and bills friendly to business interests, though on other issues maintained an independent streak.
Despite having long advocated for blacks, Quay did little to help pass the Lodge Federal Elections Bill of 1890 (introduced by Massachusetts senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr.) in the Senate and, along with Pennsylvania senatorial colleague Don Cameron, instead emphasized the issue of protective tariffs.
1888 elections
During the 1888 presidential election, Quay was selected by party leadership to serve as the campaign chairman. New York, run statewide by GOP machine boss Thomas C. "Tom" Platt though controlled in New York City by Democrats, was viewed as a crucial state to target. Due to the fact that New York voted for Bourbon Democrat Grover Cleveland in the previous presidential election cycle, Quay established national headquarters for the GOP campaign in New York City.
On election day, poll watchers were sent by Quay to New York City to inspect Democratic election fraud, ironically concurrent with election fraud also taking place unchecked in Pennsylvania cities controlled by the senator's machine. Quay also started a fund that paid for information leading up to voter fraud convictions, and compiled lists of residents used to determine if voters were "imported" from other states. Republican nominee Benjamin Harrison ultimately won the election, defeating Cleveland.
In the concurrent congressional elections of 1888, Quay ensured a Republican takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives. He funded Republican campaigns in swing Southern districts, where detectives were also sent to safeguard the voting rights of blacks and white Republicans from Democratic Party violence.
1890 elections
In the 1890 midterms, Quay proved unable to adapt to the "political winds" of the Pennsylvania GOP leadership and the voter base. There were theoretically at least 14,000 job posts he could have overseen, though likely would have been unable to single-handedly manage all of them. Although Quay knew the importance of putting party unity over personal priorities, he did not follow this principle in 1890 and faced disastrous consequences.
Amidst criticisms by the media of Quay's handling of the treasury, the senator attempted to ram through his personal choice for governor, who lost due to national pressure and pushback from cities in the state. According to A Practical Politician: The Boss Tactics of Matthew Stanley Quay:
Quay maintains GOP patronage through loopholes
In 1895, Quay publicly advertised himself as an advocate of reform to bar the "enslavement" of public offices, denouncing "municipal thieves," stated the importance of using public office only for benefiting the public, and opposed influence by public employees in determining their own salaries.
Quay then pushed for four pieces of legislation that would supposedly end such practices, though the bills intentionally left loopholes that let corruption persist.
1899–1901 vacancy
In 1899, the Pennsylvania legislature refused to re-elect Quay due to his misappropriation of state funds the previous year. The governor subsequently appointed him to the same post, only for the U.S. Senate refusing to seat Quay by a narrow one-vote margin, with Ohio Republican Mark Hanna pairing against. It took until two years later for Quay to return to his Senate seat, elected in a 1901 special election to the same post.
By the time Quay returned to the Senate, he lost control of the Pennsylvania GOP machine, which at this point was led by Boies Penrose.
