Pierre Bernard Aidenbaum (né Ajdenbaum; born 3 May 1942) is a French Socialist Party (PS) politician.
Biography
Aidenbaum was born in Le Puy-en-Velay to a family of Polish Jewish origin who were living under false identities due to persecution in World War II.
In 1992, he became the president of the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA). During his presidency, LICRA was one of eleven civil rights groups to file complaints against far-right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen for trivialising the Holocaust; in 1997 Le Pen was fined the equivalent of US$17,000 to each group. Aidenbaum was succeeded by his vice-president Patrick Gaubert in 1999.
Aidenbaum was elected mayor of the 3rd arrondissement of Paris in July 1995, succeeding Jacques Dominati. He remained in office until the council was dissolved in July 2020 as the first four arrondissements became Paris Centre. He was also on the Council of Paris from 1989. In July 2020, he became deputy mayor to Anne Hidalgo, being put in charge of the river Seine with the aim of making the heavily polluted and off-limits river safe for public swimming by the time that Paris hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics. In 2018, he supported Hidalgo's plan to pedestrianise the centre of Paris, as long as it was done gradually in respect to businesses. In 2017, he renamed the Square du Temple park after the recently deceased Jewish activist Elie Wiesel.
He resigned as deputy mayor in September 2020 due to accusations of sexual assault. He resigned his council seat in November, having been charged with rape.
He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1999 and an Officer of the same order in 2013.

Rosamund's Bower, also called Rosamund, is a pictorial patience or card solitaire which uses a single pack of 52 playing cards. Arnold connects it to 'Fair Rosamund' Clifford, the mistress of King Henry II, the aim being to unite Rosamund and Henry at the top of the single foundation pile. Meanwhile, the "sinister object" of the Jack of Spades is to dispose of Henry and the guards and capture Rosamund.
History
The game is first described as Rosamond's Bower Patience in 1898 by Mary Whitmore Jones and has been periodically described in English sources since, notably by Dalton (1948), Parlett (1979) and Arnold (2011). It is normally called Rosamund's Bower, but Parlett calls it Rosamund and gives Rosamund's Bower as an alternative. Only Whitmore Jones uses the spelling Rosamond.
Background
The background is a legendary story that King Henry adopted Rosamund Clifford as his mistress. She was reputed to be one of the great beauties of the 12th century, inspiring ballads, poems, stories and paintings. To conceal his illicit amours from his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry conducted them within the innermost recesses of a complicated maze, Rosamund's Bower, which he had laid out in his park at Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Rumours were heard by Queen Eleanor, and she contrived to penetrate the labyrinth, confronted her rival, and forced her to choose between the dagger and the bowl of poison; Rosamund chose the latter and died.
Based on this story, Arnold states that the aim of this game is to "reunite Rosamund and Henry" by succeeding in building its single foundation up to the final Ace, which is then followed by King Henry and then Fair Rosamund herself.
Rules
First, Rosamund (Q), Henry (K) and the J are removed from a single pack of 52 cards. Rosamund is placed in the centre of the tableau and eight cards arranged in the form of a cross around her; "these are the guards of her bower." Henry is placed at the top right of the tableau and the J at the bottom right. A packet of 7 cards is placed face down and to the right of the King as a reserve or "extra guards."
The J is the base card of the single foundation which must be built on in descending sequence, regardless of suit, with Kings following Aces. The outermost cards of the cross are available for play to the foundation. As soon as one is moved to the foundation, its place is taken by the top card of the reserve guard. Once the latter is exhausted, the outer cards are not replaced and an inner card becomes available once the corresponding outer card has gone.
Once any initial moves have been made from the guards, the stock is turned singly, cards being played directly to the foundation if possible or to any one of three rubbish heaps (or wastepiles) placed in a row at the bottom left of the tableau. The top card of each rubbish heap is always available for play to the foundation, but cards may not be moved between rubbish heaps. If an outer card of Rosamund's bower is suitable to be built to the foundation it must always be taken in preference to a card from a rubbish heap.
When the stock is exhausted, the rubbish heaps may be gathered up - Arnold allows this "in any order" - and redealt. They must not be shuffled. Three re-deals are allowed. The game is won if all cards are built to the foundation with Henry and Fair Rosamund as the last two.

In November 2002, two medium-sized earthquakes struck northern Pakistan, causing major damage in Baltistan region and killing 41 people.
Tectonic setting
Pakistan is directly influenced by the ongoing oblique convergence between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate. Along the northern margin of the India-Eurasia convergent boundary is the Main Himalayan Thrust which accommodates north–south continental collision. Thrust faulting in the Hindu Kush and Himalaya region is the direct result of the plate interaction. In the Balochistan region, the convergence is highly oblique, involving the large Chaman Fault; a left-lateral strike-slip structure. While a large portion of the boundary is accommodated by strike-slip faulting, the region also hosts the Sulaiman fold and thrust belt. Large thrust earthquakes including the 1934 Nepal–India earthquake were the direct result of the plate interaction. The 2005 Kashmir earthquake occurred near the vicinity of the Main Himalayan Thrust.
Impact
41 people were killed during the two tremors, including a family of seven who all died when their house collapsed, and many others were injured in Diamer District. The number of people rendered homeless was estimated to be about 15,000, and the number of houses damaged was estimated to be 2,756, with a hundred houses destroyed. More than 2,000 people were evacuated from their homes due to the earthquakes. The first tremor killed 17 and injured 65 others, while the second, much stronger earthquake killed 23, including 18 children, with a hundred others injured.
The Karakoram Highway was damaged by landslides which killed hundreds of livestock but soon re-opened for light traffic. Efforts were being made to clear it for heavy traffic but landslides persisted due to the tremors. However one person died and three were injured when an aftershock triggered another landslide on the highway.

6th European Union-African Union Summit took place in Brussels on 17 and 18 February 2022. The event was initially scheduled for October 2020, but was postponed in the COVID-19 pandemic context. The summit was co-chaired by the President of the European Council, Charles Michel and the President of Senegal who at the time served as the Chairperson of the African Union, Macky Sall. The event brought together representatives of the EU and the AU as well as of their member states. A research hired by the European Commission concluded that despite being Africa's top trading partner, European Union is not perceived as a major partner for African states with the United States and China ranked higher. The summit was organized to address some of those concerns as well as complex issues related to aspects of African immigration to Europe and European Union response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The AERAP Africa-Europe Science Collaboration Platform organised a side event on the contribution of collaborative research and development to EU-Africa relations.

Basket of Roses is an oil on canvas painting by French painter Henri Fantin-Latour, executed in 1885. It is part of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, in Lisbon. It measures 59 by 73.8 cm and is dated and signed Fantin 85 at the lower left.
History
The painting was purchased by Armenian-British collector Calouste Gulbenkian at a Christie's sale in London on May 9, 1924, from the Colnaghi Gallery. It belonged to the collection of Leonard Gow, of Craigendoran.
Description
Fantin-Latour painted still lifes since the 1860s until the end of his career. The representation of roses appears arranged of multiple ways in many of his still lifes. This work shows on a monochrome background a basket occupying the whole composition, full of roses of different colors, rather in pale tones, white, pink or yellow. This cascading composition of roses overflowing from the basket recalls his painting Bouquet of Roses on a Marble Table (1885, Sterling and Francine Clark Institute of Williamstown). Each flower is presented with its unique qualities, contrasting with the rectilinear dimensions of the basket.

AM Gold is the upcoming ninth studio album by Train, which is expected to release on May 20, 2022. It is the group's first studio album in five years since A Girl, a Bottle, a Boat in 2017.
Background
On February 16, 2022, Train released a single called "AM Gold" and announced that an album of the same name would be released on May 20, 2022. They also uploaded a video to their YouTube channel showing Ken Jeong promoting the album. Frontman Pat Monahan says that, regarding the album, “writing songs is hard. It’s difficult to create something that you love and then other people love as well. Writing songs for two and a half years in front of video screens instead of being in the presence of other humans has been a long, strange trip. And now here we are. It has to start with love.

The sank on 17 September 1940. The ship was en route to Montreal, Canada, then to Quebec City, and later to New York City. She was carrying 406 people — 209 crew, 6 convoy representatives, and 191 passengers, of whom 100 were children ages 2 to 15. Most of the passengers were British and Canadian, though at least twenty were from other countries, while most of the crew was Indian. The ship was discovered by a German submarine, and in the middle of the night she was torpedoed and sunk, killing nearly all on board.
Status
The sinking was one of the worst maritime disasters in the Second World War, and one of the worst maritime disasters in history involving children. While only 54 of 112 children of the died, 81 of 100 children of the City of Benares were lost. On the 63 children were lost (not including the 31 infants killed, as the death toll of infants on the Benares is unknown, because the passenger lists vary on how many people were on board). The percentage of survival was even worse than that of the Lusitania, with the Lusitanias survival rate being roughly 39 percent, while the City of Benares survival rate being roughly 36 percent.
Sailing
The Benares, as she was known, was provided to the British Board of Trade in May 1940, for use as an evacuation ship for children, accompanied by the and the . The three ships were fitted out and inspected for use and all were stated as serviceable for the Children's Overseas Reception Board (CORB) scheme. The City of Paris set sail with 270 CORB children on 10 of September 1940, while only days after the Benares' sailing, 37 CORB children embarked the City of Simla.
On the 13 of September 1940, she set sail on her first Atlantic-crossing, with 209 crew (including 5 women), 6 convoy staff members (made up of 4 signalman, a telegraphist, and the commodore), 90 CORB children (46 boys and 44 girls, ages 5 to 15), their 10 escorts (3 men, 7 women), and 91 fare-paying passengers (including 10 children and 43 women). The weather was rough on the first night, but for the next few days the wind was light and the sun shone down on the Benares' sweeping promenades.
The Benares, was in a convoy of 19 merchant vessels (this was Convoy OB 213) being escorted by the destroyer and two corvettes, and . In the early hours of 17 September 1940, the escorts left, leaving the convoy unprotected. On this same day another CORB liner, SS Diomed, set sail with another batch CORB children.
On board the Benares, Captain Landles Nicoll argued with the Admiral Edmund Mackinnon, the commodore, over whether the convoy should disperse yet. John (Johnny) Mayhew, a nineteen-year-old signalman was ordered by his superior, Bartlett, the Chief Yeoman of Signals, to fetch the man a coat from the chart room (this was located on the bridge, the deck above the boat deck, just aft of the wheelhouse. When Mayhew opened the door he heard the voices of the two men arguing. Nicoll wanted the convoy to disperse now. He believed that once they were free and clear of the convoy, they could go full speed to Canada. This would protect them from U-boats, as most U-boats couldn't catch up with a ship as fast as the City of Benares (she had achieved a speed of during her sea trials, while the convoy was moving at a speed of roughly ). He was probably right, but Mackinnon wanted the convoy to stay together; he believed there was safety in numbers. Besides this, he argued, the ship was currently ploughing through a Force 6 Gale, and most U-boats had never been able to torpedo a ship in conditions like this. Mayhew returned to the bridge wing and told what he had heard to Bartlett. Bartlett seemed to agree with Nicoll, but he told Mayhew to keep what he had heard to himself. Another man, Second Engineer John McGlashan, believed the ship should being moving faster too. "Why don't we cut and run for it?" he asked the Chief Engineer, Alex Macauley, who shrugged. It seemed the smarter thing to do.
Now that the weather was worsening, Captain Nicoll ordered that passengers stay inside and had the Indian crew inform the escorts that the CORB children's usual after-dinner deck games were cancelled. The children, however, were quite happy, even though it was a miserable day. Now that the convoy was out of the believed U-boat sailing range, the safety orders on board had been relaxed. The children originally had to sleep in their daytime clothes and were the kapok life-vests provided for them, while they had to keep the bulky shipboard life-belts nearby (only the CORB children had kapok life-vests). The passengers still would have had a daily lifeboat drill, but this was cancelled as well, due to the weather.
In the distance, German U-boat, U-48, had spotted Convoy OB 213. The crew decided they would attack the lead ship first, but they would wait until the cover of darkness to do it. They had no idea what the ship was or what its name was. It was the City of Benares, carrying 155 women and children.
Attack and sinking
U-48 had no idea there were women and children on board. The tragedy was that the ship had been painted grey, instead of her normal peacetime bright colors. This caused the crew of U-48 to believe she was an auxiliary cruiser.
The CORB children had been put to bed at 8:00, but some of their escorts were still awake. Mary Cornish, forty-one, an accomplished pianist and piano teacher, went back to the dining room for her own dinner. There, she lingered over a cup of coffee, chatting with chief escort, Marjorie Day, who was fifty-three. There was a lull in the storm and the two went up on deck to take a stroll. Cornish had only a thin skirt, blouse, and sleeveless jacket, so the walk on deck was quite chilly, but she did not complain — she was happy to be with her friend. Another escort, Sybil Gilliat-Smith, a twenty-five-year-old artist and preschool teacher, soon joined them and the three women sang songs on the deck. "I'll be having Christmas in Canada!" Gilliat-Smith said. With the thought of Christmas in their heads, the women began to sing Christmas carols, despite the fact that the holiday was nearly one hundred days away. At about 9:50 PM, the three women separated (the storm was picking back up again) and went their own ways.
Heinrich Bleichrodt, the commander of U-48, watched the liner ploughing through the waves. He had angled the submarine forward from the Benares, so she was sailing towards him. He ordered two torpedoes fired at about 9:55, but he had overestimated his angle on the bow, and both torpedoes sped past the Benares. None of the lookouts in the convoy noticed the torpedo tracks.
On board another ship in the convoy, the Richard de Larrinaga, an officer noticed that the gale had increased to a Force 10 (the highest measurement of an ocean gale). This meant that the wind was blowing at fifty-five miles per hour. The officer noted in the log: "Wind W.N.W. Force 10. Barometer 29.76. Whole Gale. High precipitous seas. Shipping heavy seas fore and aft. Laboring heavily. Fierce Squalls."
Back on U-48, Heinrich Bleichrodt made a decision not to give up on his massive target. "We'll risk one more," he said, sending another torpedo at 10:01 PM towards the ship. It sped towards the liner, unsuspected, and 119 seconds after being fired, it slammed into the Benares' side, on the port stern, exploding just beneath the children's quarters, and obliterating the children's bathrooms and the No. 5 hold at approximately 10:03 PM.
Captain Nicoll was in his cabin with Mackinnon discussing when the convoy should disperse and how it should be carried out. Although his cabin was just one deck beneath the bridge, at the forward part of the ship, and the torpedo had struck in the stern, he was a good seaman, and he felt the faint tremor of the blast. Immediately he knew what happened, and he quickly made his way to the bridge. His first decision was to turn on the alarm gongs, which would ring throughout the ship (though because of electrical damage they would only ring for a few minutes in the fare-paying passengers quarters).
Bess Walder, fifteen, was one of forty-four girls that were asleep on the port side of the ship. She had never been a sound sleeper, and though she had gotten used to the faint thrumming of the ship's engines, she was immediately awakened by the explosion. That's a torpedo! she thought. Climbing down from her bunk, she shook the girl sleeping in the lower bunk, ten-year-old Ailsa Murphy. The other girl, Patricia Allen, who had survived the recent U-boat attack on the Volendam, was already wake. She wasn't scared at all, remembering what had happened on the Volendam. The girl felt a sense of deja vu, saying "Fancy! It's happened again!"
Bess put on her bulky shipboard life-belt (in the rush, many of the children couldn't find their kapok life-vests, or their warm clothes) and helped the girls into theirs. She opened the door and led one of the girls, Patricia Allen, to the staircase. Bess figured the girl knew what to do. Then Walder went back for Murphy only to discover the door had jammed. She grabbed something (she never knew what it was), and made a hole in the wall big enough for her to crawl through. She found Ailsa on the floor, bleeding profusely. The girl had fallen, and Bess was afraid she was bleeding to death. Just as she got to the door, the furniture in the cabin shifted, and the wardrobe crashed in front of the door, the only exit. The object was to big to move. They were trapped in the room, which was quickly filling with water. She called out, but it seemed that no one would her her over the ringing alarm gogs, breaking glass, and people screaming.

Anderson Stadium, also known as Yellow Jacket Stadium, is a historic football and track and field facility in East Austin, Texas. The stadium was built in 1953 as the football facility on what was then the campus of L.C. Anderson High School, Austin's only public high school open to African Americans under racial segregation. Closed in 1971 as part of a school integration plan and restored in the 1990s, Anderson Stadium was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.
History
After the publication of the 1928 Austin city plan, the municipal government of Austin, Texas, made a policy of encouraging racial segregation in the city by concentrating "separate but equal" public amenities for African American citizens in East Austin. These included one Austin Public Schools high school for black students, L.C. Anderson High School. When Anderson High School moved to a new site in 1953, the new campus was built with its own football and track and field facility with stadium seating, an unusual feature at a time when most black high schools in Texas had to share sports facilities with nearby schools for white students. Anderson's Friday night games and frequent community events made the stadium an important public space in the East Austin black community.
Anderson Stadium, also known as Yellow Jacket Stadium (after the Anderson High School mascot), was used actively from its construction in 1953 through 1971, during which time the Anderson football team and marching band both won state championships in the Prairie View Interscholastic League. During the 1950s and 1960s the facility was gradually improved, with additional bleachers, a press box, a fieldhouse, a ticket booth, and a concession stand all added to the original construction. Important games drew crowds of more than 8,000, and attendees often included white spectators, such as University of Texas football coach Darrell K. Royal.
In the late 1960s, the federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare investigated the status of school integration in Texas and found Austin out of compliance, partly because Anderson's student body was still almost exclusively black. After years of efforts to persuade white students to voluntarily enroll at Anderson largely failed, a series of steps by HEW and the school district culminated in the closure of Anderson High School after the 1971 school year. In 1972, the newly established Austin Community College took over Anderson as its first site (later known as the Ridgeview Campus), and ACC paved over the stadium's football field to make a parking lot for commuter students. The original bleachers, goal posts, scoreboard, and concession stand were demolished during this period. The ACC campus closed in 1989, after which the site was used as the Austin Independent School District's Alternative Learning Center.
In 1993, Anderson alumnus and former National Football League player Thomas Henderson proposed to restore Anderson Stadium so that it could be used as a community center. Donations and volunteer work in the 1990s drove the restoration of the grass field and the replacement of the running track, goal posts, and scoreboard. New bleachers, high-mast lighting, and a concession and restroom building were also added. Further improvements in the 2000s and 2010s include an enlarged concession and restroom building, an improved running track, and a new fieldhouse. In 2021, the campus was reopened as the site of Eastside High School.
Anderson Stadium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 2022, in recognition of its historical significance as the last extant high school football stadium in Texas constructed exclusively for African Americans, as well as its importance as a shared event space for the East Austin black community.
Design
Anderson Stadium is a typical high school football and track facility, with a level grass playing field, oriented north-to-south, surrounded by an oval running track (originally of sand and dirt, but now surfaced in rubber). It sits in a slight depression in the surrounding topography, surrounded by a natural bowl-like landform whose slopes have served as additional seating space for large crowds. The field and track are flanked by the original two-story concrete fieldhouse and one-story concrete concession stand, along with a newer fieldhouse, concession stand, goal posts, high-mast lights, and scoreboard dating to the renovations of the 1990s. The original wooden bleachers have likewise been replaced with newer metal seating. The historic buildings are utilitarian and rectangular in design, built as simple concrete blocks, a reflection of the inferior investment made in a site intended for black students.

The Catalan Crusade, or Crusade of James I, was a failed attempt at a crusade in 1269, which would have been the Ninth Crusade.
James I of Aragon, being in Toledo on Christmas Day of 1268 to attend the first mass of Sancho of Aragon, who was archbishop of the city and received a Tartar embassy, who offered his help to the Roman emperor of the East Michael VIII against the Turks in an expedition to the Holy Land projected by the Conqueror.
On September 4, 1269, a fleet of 30 large ships and some galleys set sail from Barcelona, with eight hundred chosen men, Including, Almogavars, Templars, Hospitallers, and the natural children of King Ferdinand Sanxis de Castre and Peter I Ferrandis of Hixar which formed a total army of 2,500 men. The attack was a total failure, as a storm forced the damaged royal galley to take refuge in Aigues-Mortes, near Montpellier, where the king disembarked and returned by land to Catalonia, while only 11 ships were able to finally get to Acre directed by Sanxis de Castre and Ferrandis. The arrival of Christian reinforcements was answered by Baibars with an attack at Acre which caused many casualties among the Crusaders.
While At the Council of Lyons II in 1274, James I offered to take up the cross, However his offer was not accepted.

The Amuri Plain (also known as the Amuri Basin) is the northernmost extension of New Zealand's Canterbury Plains. It lies between the Waiau Uwha and Hurunui Rivers and is centred on the town of Culverden. Other population centres on the plain include Rotherham. The plains cover approximately .
The southernmost part of the plain, close to the Hurunui River, is heavily planted in exotic trees (the Balmoral Forest); further north the land is pastoral, and is largely used for sheep and dairy farming. Farming was greatly assisted by the construction of a major irrigation scheme which began in 1977. This also led to growth in the population of the service town of Culverden.

Arctostaphylos bolensis is a species of perennial shrub in the heather family commonly known as the Cerro Bola manzanita. Characterized by an erect habit, pendent panicles and the lack of a burl, this manzanita may be caught enshrouded in white to pink urn-shaped flowers, as it is a prolific bloomer. This species is endemic to the Cerro Bola, and possibly the Cerro Italia, two mountain ranges southwest of the Valle de Las Palmas in northern Baja California.
Description
This species of perennial evergreen plant grows as an erect shrub in height, lacking a burl at the base. The stems are hairless. The leaves are glabrous, shaped elliptic to ovate, and with a glaucous-green color. The inflorescence is a showy panicle with 4 to 8 spreading branches, with congest flowers. The bracts are leafy, and somewhat reduced, long. The fruit is large, shaped ovoid, and has a solid stone within.
Taxonomy
Arctostaphylos bolensis was described by American botanist Philip Vincent Wells in a 1992 issue of the Four Seasons, a publication by the Regional Parks Botanic Garden.
Characteristics
This species is related to Arctostaphylos otayensis, which occurs to the north in the San Ysidro Mountains. This species differs from A. otayensis in having a pendent panicle and stones which are solid, with the nutlets not separable. Arctostaphylos bolensis has an overlapping range with A. glandulosa subsp. adamsii and A. glandulosa subsp. leucophylla, but is distinguished from these by the lack of a burl at the base and a taller habit.
Distribution and habitat
This species is endemic to the state of Baja California in northwestern Mexico. There, it is limited to the mountains of the Cerro Bola, and possibly reported from the Cerro Italia. The Cerro Bola is a mountain range southwest of the Valle de Las Palmas, or roughly between Tecate and Ensenada. Within its small range, it is found growing in interior uplands under .

Pertusaria allanii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. Found in New Zealand, it was scientifically described as a new species in 1941 by Austrian-Hungarian lichenologist Alexander Zahlbruckner. The type specimen was collected from Waiheke Island (North Island), where it was found growing on coastal rock. The specific epithet allanii honours the collector, New Zealand botanist Harry Allan. As of 2018, in the New Zealand Threat Classification System, the lichen is considered "At Risk – Naturally Uncommon".

A movement for a Wales national team competing at the Olympic Games and World Athletics Championships.
Calls for a National Olympic Team
Olympic success
It has been calculated in recent media publications that in terms of medal, per population, Wales is exceptionally high achieving in the olympics as a country. An alternative table including countries that have won a minimum of one gold medal, Welsh athletes come second in the world (behind New Zealand only) based on medals per capita.
Olympic team in the status quo
Deputy leader of Plaid Cymru and MS for Ynys Môn, Rhun ap Iorwerth suggested that Wales should have its own national team at the Olympics in the 2024 Paris Olympics during a Facebook live video conference with constituents.
Iorwerth also mentioned a potential eventuality suggested by Gareth Rhys Owen, a BBC Wales sports presenter; “He said we might end up getting fewer medals. A number of medal winners have won medals as part of teams – swimming team and that kind of thing." and also added "Maybe we wouldn’t get those team medals but you would have more Welsh athletes having the opportunity to compete at the Olympics."
Olympic team in an independent Wales
YesCymru suggests that independence would allow the formation of both a national Olympic and Paralympic teams. YesCymru goes further stating that currently Welsh athletes are "missing out" on an opportunity to compete in the Olympics and Paralympics due to extremely high levels of competition to get into the Great Britain olympic team.

Ledge Cemetery, also known as the Cemetery under the Ledge, is a historic cemetery in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Dating to 1770, it stands on Gilman Road, around southwest of the smaller Pioneer Cemetery. Some headstones bear dates earlier than 1770, for many bodies — such as that of Revd. Nicholas Loring — were removed from the older Pioneer Cemetery.
The original First Parish Congregational Church, known as the Old Ledge Meetinghouse, stood near the site between 1730 and 1818. Its first pastor was Reverend Ammi Ruhamah Cutter. Tristram Gilman, for whom Gilman Road is named, was the fourth pastor. He served in the role for forty years, and was buried in the Ledge Cemetery upon his death in 1809, aged 73. His wife, Elizabeth Sayer, is buried beside him.
Several sea captains are also interred here, including those from the Drinkwater family. Captain Theophilus Drinkwater, son of Allen and Hannah Drinkwater, gave his name to nearby Drinkwater Point Road.
Of a settlement that originally contained a school, a tavern and a cemetery, only the cemetery and the ledge doorstep of the church remain.

Sarcasms, Op. 17 (), initially alternatively entitled Sarcastic Pieces, is a 1914 solo piano composition by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
Background
The five-movement Sarcasms was written during the course of three years, between 1912 and 1914. It was initially entitled Sarcastic Pieces, but Prokofiev eventually decided to rename the title on the advice of two of his contemporaries: V. Nuvel and A. Nurok. All five movements were eventually laid out chronologically: movement I was written in 1912, movements II and III were written in 1913, and movements IV and V were written in 1914. The set of sarcasms were in his personal collection and he performed selections and fragments from the Sarcasms and other pieces on occasion. Prokofiev wrote a short program for the fifth piece in 1941, leaving all the other sarcasms without a program.
The whole set was premiered by Prokofiev himself on November 27, 1916, in Saint Petersburg Conservatory, Petrograd. Pianist Heinrich Neuhaus recalled an anecdote from the premiere as follows: "Pince-nez placed on his nose, F.M. Blumenfeld cast his glance over Prokofiev’s head at the score. Sergei Sergeyevich was already prepared to begin, when he turned around suddenly and said: ‘Felix Mikhailovich! I’d rather you’d step to the side. I’m afraid you’ll hit me in the head with your fist.’ Everyone laughed. F.M. blew it off, but nevertheless stepped slightly to the side. Sergei Sergeyevich played through all the Sarcasms." Sarcasms was first published that same year in Moscow by P. Jurgenson.
Structure
Scored for solo piano, Sarcasms consists of five untitled movements and has an approximate duration of 12-13 minutes. The movement list is as follows:
Sarcasms is notable for Prokofiev's exploration of a new musical language. Some authors have referred to the use of "aggressive wrong notes" as a means to represent laughter in the sarcasms. All sarcasms have a loose two-theme structure, with theme A coming back at the end of each movement. As it is made more evident in movements I and III, the central theme is much more lyrical than the main theme presented at the beginning, which tends to be generally more percussive and pungent. One of the most notable movements is No. III, where polytonality plays a big role: the right hand plays in F♯ minor while the left hand plays a melody in B♭ minor.
Reception
Sarcasms became very successful amongst modernists, primarily because of Prokofiev's efforts to find a new musical language, and was met with loud applause at the premiere in Petersburg. However, the composer himself felt the pieces "had just been written and were little understood at the time." Fellow composers Nikolai Medtner and Sergei Rachmaninoff were both taken aback in the premiere, especially for the extremes in dynamics and clashing chords used, which evoked the Suggestion diabolique (specifically movement III). Another fellow composer, Boris Asafyev stated that "Prokofiev's Sarcasms are more taunting, more trenchant than the verses of the early Mayakovsky, and the horror of them is more terrifying and powerful." Maxim Gorky also showed much interest in the Sarcasms. Lecturer David Nice also commented on the work that it begins "with something like a parody of The Rite of Spring'''s metrical freedom and pounding chords, which quickly fizzles out into Petrushka-like irresolution." Lecturer Richard P. Anderson also favourably stated that "even in the Sarcasms'', Prokofiev's most grotesque caricatures where he consciously exploits the percussive extremes of the piano, his signature lyricism manages to creep in."

Kurt Kaul (5 October 1890 - 25 December 1944) was an SS-Gruppenführer and a Generalleutnant of Police, who served as the Higher SS and Police Leader in southwest Germany. While serving with the Waffen-SS, he was killed in action in the siege of Budapest.
Early life
Kaul was the son of an estate owner in the Prussian Province of Posen. After attending volksschule and gymnasium, he obtained an advanced agricultural degree. He joined the Imperial German Army in September 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War and fought on the western front. From 1916, as a Leutnant, he served as an artillery battery commander. He was wounded and earned the Iron Cross, 1st and 2nd class.
After the end of the war he joined the Freikorps and was deployed in the Baltic States as a battery commander for the Baltic Landeswehr from February 1919. He fought with the "Iron Division," but left the army in April 1920 and settled in Danzig where he worked as a mechanic and ran a car dealership. In 1920 he joined the Deutschvölkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund, the largest, most virulent and most influential anti-semitic organization in Germany. In 1924, he joined the right-wing German Völkisch Freedom Party, and in 1925 the "Bund der Kamerad," a protection squad for Nazi Party speakers.
SS career
Kaul joined the SA in December 1929 and, on 1 March 1930, he became a member of the Nazi Party (membership number 244,954). He switched from the SA to the SS (membership number 3,392) on 29 August 1930. As an SS-Standartenführer, he was the chief-of-staff for SS-Abschnitt (SS-District) VI in Brieg from July 1932 to August 1933. He was then commander, successively, of SS-Abschnitt IV in Braunschweig (August 1933 to March 1934), SS-Abschnitt XXII in Allenstein (March 1934 to May 1935) and SS-Abschnitt XXIII in Berlin (May 1935 to January 1937). During this time, he advanced in rank to SS-Oberführer in November 1933, and SS-Brigadeführer in January 1936.
On 30 January 1937, Kaul was promoted to commander of SS-Oberabschnitt (SS-Main District) Southwest based in Stuttgart. His jurisdiction included all of Württemberg and Baden. He was promoted to SS-Gruppenführer on 20 April 1937. Kaul was elected on 10 April 1938 to the Reichstag from electoral constituency 31, Württemberg. He was awarded the Golden Party Badge on 30 January 1939. On its formation on 6 September 1939, Kaul was named the first Higher SS and Police Leader "Südwest", based in Stuttgart, while retaining his Oberabschnitt command there. He attained his final promotion to Generalleutnant der Polizei on 15 January 1941. In the spring of 1943, Kaul had a falling out with SS-Obergruppenführer Gottlob Berger, the head of the SS Main Office, and was relieved of his posts on 21 April 1943. For a time, he ran two horse breeding farms and then, in September 1944, he trained at the SS artillery school as a Waffen-SS Sturmbannführer. He took command of an artillery regiment in the 22nd SS Volunteer Cavalry Division Maria Theresia in November 1944, and died on 25 December 1944 during the siege of Budapest.

Miles Heywood Hadfield (15 October 1903 - 1982) was an English writer on gardening and one of the founders, and later its president, of the Garden History Society. He was awarded the Royal Forestry Society's gold medal and the Royal Horticultural Society's Veitch Memorial Medal.
Hadfield's first job was at Best and Lloyd, who made light fittings where he worked from 1924 to 1930 locally and in London. His books include The Gardener's Companion (1936), Everyman's Wild Flowers and Trees (1938), British Trees: A guide for everyman (1957), and A History of British Gardening (1960), which was described by the University of Reading as the standard work on the subject. He worked with the National Trust on the reconstruction of historic gardens such as Westbury Court in Gloucestershire which had fallen into disrepair.
Early life and family
Miles Hadfield was born in Handsworth, Staffordshire (now Birmingham), on 15 October 1903, the oldest son of Heywood George Hadfield (1872-1946), a solicitor, and Hilda Bragg (1876-1959) who was the daughter of the jewellery manufacturer Charles Bayley Bragg (1850-1933). He was schooled at Bradfield College in Berkshire and afterwards enrolled to study engineering at the University of Birmingham in 1921.
The family were prosperous during Miles's youth and lived in Hamstead Mount, a house built by Charles Bragg, but later suffered a financial reverse which necessitated the letting of half the house.
Miles's brother was John Hadfield who later worked as an editor at J. M. Dent who became his publishers.
Career
Hadfield's first job was at Best and Lloyd, a Birmingham firm who made light fittings where he worked from 1924 to 1930 locally and in London. At the same time he became an evening student at the Birmingham School of Art and, after leaving Best and Lloyd, a full time author and artist on botanical, gardening, and forestry subjects. His first book was The Gardener's Companion (1936) which he illustrated himself. This was followed by Everyman's Wild Flowers and Trees in 1938.
During the Second World War he worked for the Midland Division of the Ministry of Food, rising to the position of deputy controller of food for the Midlands, where he helped to ensure food supplies to the city of Coventry during the Blitz. He resigned in 1949 and returned to garden writing, having articles published in periodicals such as Country Life, The Gardeners' Chronicle, and House and Garden. In 1957 he produced British Trees: A guide for everyman, which he also illustrated, and in 1960 A History of British Gardening which was described by the University of Reading as the standard work on the subject.
In 1966 he was a co-founder of the Garden History Society and its first president. He began to work with the National Trust on the reconstruction of historic gardens such as Westbury Court in Gloucestershire which had fallen into disrepair. The gardens were grade II* listed with Historic England in 1986. He was awarded the Royal Forestry Society's gold medal and the Royal Horticultural Society's Veitch Memorial Medal.
Death and legacy
Following the death of his mother, Hamstead Mount was sold, and in 1962 Hadfield moved to Dillon's Orchard, Wellington Heath, near Ledbury in Herefordshire. He married Rachel Hughes in 1975 but the same year suffered a fall and increasingly poor health and eye-sight. He died in 1982. His papers are held in the special collections of the University of Reading and include extensive material relating to Hadfield's friend, the photographer Edward Cahen.

Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Provincial Park is a wildland provincial park in Wood Buffalo, northern Alberta, Canada. Kitaskino, means “our land” in Cree and Nuwenëné means “our land” in Dene; the two languages are spoken by the First Nation communities in the area. The park as created on 8 March 2019 had an area of . It was expanded on 26 January 2022 to . The park is a successful collaboration between the Mikisew Cree First Nation, the governments of Alberta and Canada, and petroleum industry partners in the area. Teck Resources, Imperial Oil, and Cenovus Energy returned oil leases to the Athabasca oil sands which underlay the area. This enabled the land to be turned into a park. After the initial creation of the park in 2019, the Milisew First Nation worked with Burgess Canadian Resources to relinquished their oilsands leases which led to the addition of to the park.
Location
The park consists of three parcels of land. The largest and westernmost parcel is immediately south of Wood Buffalo National Park and shares its western border with Birch River Wildland Provincial Park. The eastern border covers the Athabasca River for the northernmost Township 104 () and then west of Chipewyan Indian Reserve 201G. The southern border is the southern extent of Township 101.
The remaining two parcels are connected and lie east of the Athabasca River and north of the Marguerite River. The parcels border the Richardson Wildland Provincial Park to the north and east. The two parcels consume most of townships 101 and 102 for ranges 6, 7, and 8 west of the fourth meridian.
Ecology
The park is part of the boreal forest of Canada. Summers are short, with only one or two months in which the average daily temperature exceeds . Winters are long and very cold, with average daily temperatures below for four months or more and below for two months or more. The landscape is deciduous, mixedwood, and coniferous forests interspersed with extensive wetlands. The park includes the Central Mixedwood, Lower Boreal Highlands, Upper Boreal Highlands, Athabasca Plain subregions. The park is part of a larger effort to protect the boreal forest ecosystem. Kitaskino Nuwenëné joins Kazan, Richardson, Dillon River, Birch River, and Birch Mountains Wildland Provincial Parks along with Wood Buffalo Nation Park to form the world's largest protected area for boreal forest. Before the addition of Kitaskino Nuwenëné WPP, the parks protect , almost twice the size of Vancouver Island.
Being connected to the other protected areas, the park protects the range of migratory animals: the Red Earth caribou herd and the Ronald Lake bison herd. In addition, the park creates a conservation buffer zone to increase watershed protection to support the Wood Buffalo National Park UNESCO World Heritage Site biological diversity of the Peace-Athabasca Delta.
Activities
The park supports First Nations’ traditional activities, including the exercise of treaty rights.
The park is very remote, and access is only via aircraft. Authorization is required to land in the park; only helicopters or floatplanes have that ability. The park has no developed facilities so only backcountry camping and hiking are available. Hunting and fishing are allowed with proper permits. Snowmobiling is permitted in the park on existing trails.

Wendela Bicker (Amsterdam, baptized December 30, 1635 – July 1, 1668) was the wife of Johan de Witt.
Biography
As the daughter of Amsterdam merchant and Mayor Jan Bicker (1591-1653) and Agneta de Graeff van Polsbroek (1603-1656), she was a descendant of the Bicker-De Graeff clan, the two most influential Amsterdam families of the Dutch Golden Age, and also relative of the families Hooft and of Volkert Overlander and Frans Banninck Cocq. Wendela grew up in a city house on Keizersgracht. Her sister Jacoba Bicker married their full cousin Pieter de Graeff.
Wendela Bicker met her future husband Johan de Witt when her uncle Cornelis de Graeff met the young statesman. De Witt had been the first man in the republic as Grand pensionary since 1653, but kept a “miserable bachelor household” in The Hague. Johan's father Jacob de Witt urged him to find a wife befitting his rank, to start a family and a "tidy household" with her. Wendela made this undertaking easier for him insofar as she presented herself as a "gentle woman of slender and graceful growth", "with blond curls and gentle eyes". In the late summer of 1654, De Witt began courting her. On February 16, 1655, the couple married in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. Holland's national poet, Joost van den Vondel, recited a poem written for the occasion at the celebration. After the wedding, the young couple moved to The Hague, where de Witt worked as council pensioner of Holland and West Friesland in the Binnenhof. On the advice of the English ambassador, William Temple, the couple set up a large household with numerous servants and two liveried servants for the council pensioner in their new residence in the "Hofsingel".
Within twelve years of marriage, Wendela gave birth to eight children, three of whom died young. She took her mother's job very seriously, ran the household herself and also looked after Johan's elderly father, Jacob. In the long run, however, this exceeded their strength. When her two-year-old daughter Elisabeth died in June 1668, Wendela was at the end of her strength and she died after four days of illness at the end of June or beginning of July of the same year. On July 6, Wendela Bicker was buried in the family grave in Amsterdam's Nieuwe Kerk with a large turnout of the population.
Many family members helped Johan de Witt by looking after his five children, including Johan de Witt, during this difficult time. After de Witt's murder in the summer of 1672, Wendela's cousin Pieter de Graeff became the breadwinner for the orphans.

Cruzeiro do Sul Flight 302 (IATA: SC 302) was a scheduled domestic flight operated from Rio de Janeiro to Manaus in Brazil, operated by Serviços Aéreos Cruzeiro do Sul. On 3 February 1984, the Airbus A300B4 aircraft flying the service, was hijacked while flying from São Luís to Belém and was forced to divert to Cuba. There were no fatalities among the 176 passengers and crew.
Hijacking
The aircraft, carrying 14 crew and 162 passengers, had taken of from Marechal Cunha Machado International Airport at 22:38 local time and was due to land at Belém two hours after. During the flight, the hijackers entered the cockpit and they ordered the crew to fly to Cayenne, but the crew told them that the runway was too short. The hijackers then directed the plane to Paramaribo. The captain told that the hijackers seemed very nervous and one repeatedly said "if this fails, we're ready to die". A passenger said that "The hijackers were very tense, but we convinced them to stay calm and free the passengers" and he also said that "Most passengers didn't know a hijacking was occurring. A stewardess asked if there was a doctor and I volunteered. In the cabin, I found two men with guns and a woman holding a crying child in her arms".
The aircraft landed at Paramaribo and the hijackers were persuaded by a delegation of officials at the airport in Paramaribo to release the 154 passengers in exchange for fuel. The airline dispatched an aircraft to pick up passengers in Suriname and took them to their original destinations in Belém and Manaus.
The aircraft left for Cuba about 3:30 local time. The aircraft landed at Camagüey International Airport at 7:46 local time. The Cuban officials agreed to allow the plane and crew to return to Brazil after being contacted through the Swiss Embassy.

On April 1, 2002, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake struck near the coast of Moro Province in Papua New Guinea. It struck at a depth of 80.5 km beneath the surface and had a focal mechanism corresponding to reverse faulting. The earthquake triggered a landslide that killed 36 people and injured 11.
Tectonic setting
Papua New Guinea is situated in a region where the Pacific, Australian, Caroline and several microplates are converging. At the Huon Peninsula, the Woodlark Plate is moving north, converging beneath the South Bismarck Plate along the Markham Valley. The tectonic motion forms a complex zone of subduction and continental collision zones which affect the region. Due to the location at a major plate boundary zone, Papua New Guinea is struck by earthquakes and tsunamis frequently and is one of the world's most seismically active regions.
The Finisterre Range located near the epicenter of the 2002 earthquake is predominantly volcanic in origin, consisting of volcaniclastics and volcanic strata. The range formed as a result of thrusting which began 3.7 million years ago and has an elevation of 4,000 meters. Bedrock landsliding is frequent within the range, caused by rainfall and earthquakes associated with the nearby thrust faults.
Impact
A massive landslide was triggered by the earthquake, destroying twelve homes in the village of Kobung. Eleven people were injured, two of them seriously, and one was airlifted to Lae for treatment.
Surviving villagers immediately attempted to dig out those who were buried and about 50 survivors were evacuated to higher ground. Word of the disaster reached the provincial authorities in Lae about 6 hours after the event. The road network was cut due to the heavy rain, but the injured were evacuated by the helicopters that brought in the rescue workers. The landslide displaced the remaining 138 residents of the village.

Christopher Joseph Petrucelli (born May 9, 1962) is an American soccer manager who is currently the head coach of the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women's Soccer League.
Playing career
Raised in Edison, New Jersey, Petrucelli attended J. P. Stevens High School, where he played for the soccer team. In college, he played in 1980, 1982, and 1983 for UNC Greensboro, then a Division III school, under head coach Mike Berticelli. He helped the school to two NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship titles in 1982 and 1983, and was the team captain in his senior year.
In 1998, Petrucelli was inducted into the inaugural hall of fame class of J. P. Stevens High School.
Coaching career
After graduating from college in 1985, Petrucelli joined Berticelli, his former coach at UNC Greensboro, as a graduate assistant coach for the Old Dominion men's soccer program. At the time, he worked at the docks in Norfolk, Virginia, for a tea-packing company. He became a full-time assistant coach from 1986, with the school achieving their best result in his final season by reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time in 1989. In 1990, Petrucelli followed Berticelli to the University of Notre Dame. Berticelli had agreed to join Notre Dame, on the condition that the school would find a position for Petrucelli as well. Petrucelli was appointed as the head coach of Notre Dame's women's soccer team in the team's third season of existence, and also assisted Berticelli with the men's team in the first year. Petrucelli led Notre Dame to six consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship from 1993 to 1998, including three straight appearances in the championship game from 1994 to 1996. The school won the 1995 championship 1–0 against Portland after three overtime periods, ending North Carolina's run of nine consecutive titles, with Notre Dame having defeated them 1–0 in the semi-finals. Notre Dame lost both the 1994 and 1996 championship games to North Carolina, by a score of 5–0 and 1–0 (after double overtime), respectively. In 1994 and 1995, he was named Women's College Soccer Coach of the Year by the NSCAA. He finished with a record of 175 wins, 22 losses, and 10 draws with the school.
He also served as the head soccer coach at the U.S. Olympic Festival in 1994 and 1995, and has worked as a coach for the Olympic Development Program.
In December 1998, Petrucelli was announced as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns women's soccer team for the following season. He coached the school to first place during the regular season in the Big 12 Conference in 2001, and won the Big 12 Tournament in 2006 and 2007. From 2001 to 2011, the school made ten appearances in the NCAA Division I Tournament, only missing out during this stretch in 2009. Their best result in the tournament was reaching the last 16, achieved in 2004, 2006, and 2007. He finished with a record of 165 wins, 88 losses, and 26 draws while at Texas. From 2003 to 2004, Petrucelli also served as the coach of the United States women's national under-21 team, and won consecutive Nordic Cup titles.
In 2012, Petrucelli became the head coach of Southern Methodist University women's soccer team. During his tenure, SMU made two appearances in the NCAA Division I Tournament in 2016 and 2021. In total, he finished with a record of 88 wins, 74 losses and 18 draws at the school. In January 2020, he also was the coach of the United States women's national under-18 team for the Tricontinental Cup tournament in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, in which the U.S. finished second to the Netherlands.
On February 18, 2022, the Chicago Red Stars announced Petrucelli as the coach of the team for the 2022 season in the National Women's Soccer League.
Personal life
Petrucelli is a native of Orange, New Jersey, and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1984 with a degree in business administration. He has three children with his wife Eve.

Lewis House and Medical Office, also known as the Henning Landmark Center, is a historic building located in Henning, Minnesota, United States. It is significant because of its association with rural medicine in the 20th century. Dr. A.J. Lewis acquired the property in 1911 from Dr. McCoy, whose practice he presumably took over. Lewis and his wife Clara moved into the house and he saw patients there. They built the present two-story, brick, Prairie School residence in 1914 on the same property. Once this house was completed the old house was moved to a different lot in town. Lewis continued to see patients in his residence in addition to making house calls. The porch was enclosed in 1928 after Dr. James Vail was added to the practice. Vail left to join the United States Navy in 1942. Four years later, A.J. and Clara's son, Dr. Charles Lewis, joined the practice. When Dr. Jay Kevern joined the Lewis' in 1948, the Modern-style addition was completed. Kevern provided ophthalmology services and Dr. Vernon Johnson had a dental practice on the lower level. The facility became a multi-discipline medical practice. The medical doctors here also had privileges at the hospital in Wadena, Minnesota. Dr. A.J. Lewis continued to practice medicine here until he died in 1962. His wife Clara died in 1984.
Dr. Charles Lewis sold the practice and house to Dr. Jon Wigert, who lived here and continued the practice until 1990 when Tri-County Hospital in Wadena built a new medical facility a block away. The Espeland family provided the funds to buy and renovate this facility for the City of Henning. The Landmark Center opened in 2009. Meetings, retreats, and other functions are held on the main floor of the residence and the second-floor bedrooms are used for over-night accommodations. The 1948 addition houses offices, meeting space, and a museum. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. A two-stall garage (c. 1920) is also a part of the historic designation.

Swim Herschel Swim was a popular ska band in Provo, Utah from 1989 to 1993. Their lead singer was Rod Middleton and their keyboardist was Jon Armstrong. The other members changed over the course of the band's career. They opened for No Doubt in 1992. While their charismatic performances and enthusiastic audiences made it difficult to find repeat venues, the band is praised for jump-starting the local music scene in Utah, specifically in ska music.
Founding and I Wish I Had A Raygun
Jon Armstrong (keyboards) and Rich Hillquist (drums) had tried unsuccessfully to form two other bands before Swim Herschel Swim: Room 13 and Scuba Bus. Armstrong recalled forming the band in the fall of 1989 with his roommate Hillquist, Rod Middleton (lead vocals and trombone), Russell Cluff (bass) and Rick Anderson (guitar). Sam Reisner (saxophone) joined in the fall of 1991. Jeff Hubbard replaced Russell Cluff on bass after the group's first two performances. The members were students from Brigham Young University. Dave Merkley, the band's manager, said that Swim Herschel Swim was inspired by English Beat and other ska bands. Armstrong spent a summer living in Oakland, California, and saw Bill Frisell perform at Yoshi's. Armstrong stated that he wasn't as familiar with ska as Middleton and Anderson, who "brought a lot of cover influence" to the band's songs. They started by mostly performing covers of ska songs and gradually introduced original material into their performances. They opened for Jones in 1991 together with Stretch Armstrong. The band's first album was I Wish I Had A Raygun (1991). They recorded the songs over two weekends. To save on studio costs, the songs were single takes with small edits. Their analog recording was mixed down to a digital audio tape. In a review of I Wish I Had a Raygun at SLUG Magazine, Ness Lessman compared the band to 004. He liked the upbeat tempo and key changes in their cover of "Ring of Fire".
In a review of a 1992 performance, Dagi Binggeli described their "reggae-rock-blues-punk-pop" music as "very danceable." Jeff Vice, in a Deseret News review of one of their shows in 1991, noticed similarities between their two-tone style and Madness and Bim Skala Bim. Vice praised their cover of "Ring of Fire".
The Provo Daily Herald described them as the "hottest band around" in 1992. They participated in a South by Southwest Showdown, where Rudi Riet described their music as hard-ska. Sam Cannon of Happyville Records attributed Swim Herschel Swim's success to their charisma and energy. Their manager, Dave Merkley, later promoted "Skalapalooza". He founded Universal Hi-Fidelity, a record label for Utah bands. On Jon Armstrong's blog, he credited the band's success to Merkley's work: "it was through his finagling, schmoozing and balls that we opened for a lot of other acts, including No Doubt, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Special Beat." Swim Herschel Swim opened for No Doubt for their July 1992 performance in Utah.
Swim Herschel Swim had enthusiastic audiences who liked to dance. They were banned from a repeat performance at Center Stage in Provo after audience members damaged property during a performance. In the spring of 1992, they hosted a concert to shoot footage for a music video in the Osmond studios in Orem, Utah. According to Armstrong, over 1,000 people attended the performance. Afterwards, the Orem planning commission ruled that the studio should not be zoned as a club. Armstrong stated that with the loss of the Osmond studio venue, they had nowhere they could perform in Utah county.
Burn Swim Burn and breakup
In 1993, Swim Herschel Swim was working towards their second album, Burn Swim Burn. At this point, the band had two original members: Armstrong and Middleton. Their new members were Pat Campbell (drums), Matt (drums), Kent Carter (bass), Andy Warr (saxophone), and Lou Eastman (guitar). To pay for the cost of the album, the band performed every weekend in the spring for 14 weeks. They played with No Doubt and the Specs in California. The band broke up in June 1993. A 1994 Deseret News article wrote that the band had achieved "considerable success on the local level." Burn Swim Burn was released in 1994. They played a reunion show in 2012. In a review of the album for SLUG Magazine, Scott Vice gave the album a mixed review, stating that some of the older songs sounded better on I Wish I Had A Raygun. Vice described the new songs on the album as "among Swim's best songs", and he particularly liked how Rod Middleton's lyrics "manage to skewer modern-day realities on the point of common sense."

Oborul Vechi Church () is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 204 Traian Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saints Joachim and Anna.
After the plague that affected Bucharest in 1718–1719, the Serdar Matei Mogoș raised a monumental stone cross some four meters high. It was placed at what was then the edge of the city, near the cattle and grain market (oborul vechi means “the old cattle yard”). In 1768, Metropolitan Grigorie ordered the construction of a small church without apses to shelter the cross inside the altar.
Becoming cramped by the early 19th century, the parishioners walled in the old portico, turning it into a narthex, and added side apses. It suffered damage during the 1838 earthquake and was repaired in 1850. A 1938 restoration brought about the current form, including the addition of a small portico with a triangular facade. Additional repairs followed the earthquakes of 1940 and 1977.
The cross-shaped church measures 20 meters long by 6.3 to 12 meters wide, with polygonal side apses. The rectangular altar is spacious and high, in order to fit the stone cross, which can be glimpsed through the royal doors. The two octagonal domes sit on square bases atop the nave and narthex; they and the roof are covered in tin. Light enters the balcony through a small round window above the vestibule, above which an icon of the patron saints is placed in a niche. The columns that separated nave from narthex are gone, while traces of the old arched portico remain on the walls. The interior windows are of stained glass and depict saints.
The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Rafael Nadal defeated Cameron Norrie in the final, 6–4, 6–4 to win the singles title at the 2022 Mexican Open. Nadal did not drop a set during the tournament. By accomplishing that, he won his record extending 30th trophy without dropping a set. It was his fourth Acapulco title and 91st career singles title overall.
Alexander Zverev was the defending champion, but he was defaulted from the tournament prior to his second-round match after he showed unsportsmanlike conduct at the conclusion of his first-round doubles match, repeatedly hitting the umpire’s chair with his racquet and using obscene language.
Daniil Medvedev was in contention to claim the world No. 1 singles ranking. After Novak Djokovic lost in the quarterfinals in Dubai, Medvedev clinched the top ranking, making him the 27th player to ever hold the position. Medvedev became the first player outside of the Big Four to reach the world number 1 ranking since Andy Roddick in February 2004, ending the quartet's 921-week streak with the No. 1 ranking.
For the first time since the 2013 China Open, four of the top five ranked players competed at the same ATP 500 tournament.
The first-round match between Zverev and Jenson Brooksby broke the record for the latest-ever finish in an ATP Tour match when it ended at 4:55 a.m. local time, passing the previous record of 4:34 a.m. local time set by Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis at the 2008 Australian Open. At three hours and twenty-two minutes, the match was also the longest ever played at the Mexican Open. On that same day, the three longest matches in Acapulco history were played: the Zverev–Brooksby match, John Isner vs Fernando Verdasco, and Stefan Kozlov vs Grigor Dimitrov.

The Chinese Tower (German: Chinesischer Turm) is a 25-metre wooden building resembling a pagoda at the Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany. The building was constructed from 1789 to 1790 and was opened to the public as an observation deck during the opening of the Englischer Garten in 1792. The tower burned down during the bombing of Munich during World War II and was reopened as a reconstruction in 1952. Today the tower is considered a landmark of the Englischer Garten.
In the 1970s the tower was closed to the public because of security reasons and can since be accessed only by the music groups that still play at the tower. A reconstructed carousel originally dating back to the Biedermeier period is located near the tower, as well as numerous restaurants. The so-called Kocherlball festival has been held at the Chinese Tower on the third Sunday of July since 1989.
Location and connections
The Chinese Tower is located at the southern part of the Englischer Garten in the district of Schwabing. The building is located north of the Monopteros and Ökonomiegebäude structures and a few metres east of the Oberstjägermeisterbach river. The Rumfordhaus building is located east of the tower.
The Chinese Tower can be reached by public transport of the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft. The bus stop Chinesischer Turm is located immediately next to the tower and can be accessed by public transport and bicycles. The tower can also be accessed by tram at the stop Tivolistraße. The stop has a connection to the bus stop Chinesischer Turm. The closest station of the Munich U-Bahn is Giselastraße, trafficked by two lines of the Stammstrecke 1. The Englischer Garten can be accessed by a ten-minute walk from the station.
History
The Chinese Tower was designed from 1789 to 1790 by Johann Baptist Lechner on a proposal by Joseph Frey as part of the planned citizens' park, nowadays known as the Englischer Garten. The construction was done by Johann Baptist Erlacher and Martin Heilmayr, two master carpenters with local roots. Chinese architecture was popular in Europe at the time, so Benjamin Thompson, who was in charge of construction of the not yet opened Englischer Garten, either proposed the construction of the Chinese Tower or undertook it himself. The Chinese Tower was inspired by the 50-metre Great Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, United Kingdom, which was itself inspired by the Majolica Pagoda in Peking, China. Two years after the construction of the "great pagoda" as the tower was known at the time, the first royal festival was held at the Englischer Garten, which was known as "Theodors-Park" at the time. In the same year the entire park including the Chinese Tower were opened to the public; the park had earlier been the private hunting ground of the House of Wittelsbach.
At first the Chinese Tower mostly served as an observation deck. Because of this the trees around the tower did not reach higher than the first two floors of the tower. Nowadays many trees reach over the wooden structure, making it no longer usable as an observation deck. The tower still became popular because of the numerous restaurants located nearby, and became known as the "heart of the Englischer Garten" according to writer Daniela Dau.
Friedrich Ludwig Sckell, who since 1804 administered the royal gardens in Munich, including the Englischer Garten, made a new propoal for the Englischer Garten in 1807, where he wanted to demolish the already existing Chinese Tower. As a stylistic purist, he wanted to avoid architectural staffages and limit the park to few, simple classic buildings. According to him "the Chinese style of architecture is not worth mimicking". However, he was not able to implement this plan.
The Chinese Tower frequently suffered fire damage, which was repaired every time. On 13 June 1944, near the end of World War II, the tower burned down in a white phosphorus attack. The tower was reconstructed in its original style from 1951 to 1952 by the architect Franz Zell and the ceremonial reopening of the tower took place on 6 September 1952. The building has since been known as a "landmark of the Englischer Garten". In 1960 the tower was made accessible to the public again. However, access to the public has been restricted since the 1970s because of safety reasons; only musical groups playing at the tower are allowed access. The tower is only accessible to the public on rare occasions, such at the 50th anniversary of its repoening on 6 September 2002, and only for groups up to 15 people at a time.
In 2002 the Chinese Tower was made into a Wi-Fi hotspot in the Englischer Garten. It successfully served in a pilot project all over Germany.
Architecture
The wooden Chinese Tower is supposed to resemble a Chinese temple in the style of a pagoda. The building is 25 metres tall and has five floors including the ground floor. Like a pine tree, the tower narrows down upwards floor by floor. Each floor is supported by wood shingles. Gold-coloured bells hang on the corners on the inside of the tower. There is a winding stairway connecting the floors in the middle of the tower. Each floor is supported by wooden beams from underneath. The maximum diameter of the tower is about 19 metres, while the minimum diameter of each floor is 6 metres.
Together with the Rumfordhaus and the Monopteros, the Chinese Tower belongs to the three "feeling architectures" in the Englischer Garten.
Carousel
The first carousel for children was constructed near the Chinese Tower in 1823, but this carousel does not exist any more. In 1913 a new carousel with wooden animal figures (deer, ibex, camel, giraffe, horse, stork and flamingo) with old-fashioned coaches, carriages and sleds was opened. The carousel with its Biedermeier-era figures rotates accompanied by orchestrion and polyphon music. The animal figures are divided into an inner and an outer ring. There is a play park for children near the carousel. The carousel was made by the sculptor Joseph Erlacher and the decorative painter August Julier. Since 1977 the carousel, along with the Chinese Tower and the Englischer Garten, has belonged to the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes.
Events
There are various regular and irregular events at the Chinese Tower.
Many men and women in Tracht meet at 06:00 in the morning on the third Sunday of July for the annual Kocherlball, to dance folk dances and waltzes. This event comes from a habit of cooks, maids and servers to meet at the Chinese Tower on summer Sundays before the start of their workday, to dance together. The ball was established in 1880 and was first attended by around 5000 people. In 1904 the police forbade the Kocherlball as "unethical". This tradition was re-established in 1989 during the 200th anniversary of the Englischer Garten, however the ball is now held on only one Sunday in the year. The first re-established Kocherlball was attended by around 15 thousand people. The number of attendees shrank to around 10 thousand in the following years. In 2002 and 2013 the event was attended by about 12 thousand people and the 16th re-established ball was attended by about 15 thousand people. In 2014 another Kocherlball was held in Bad Tölz to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Tölzer Kurhaus.
As well as the Kocherlball, 21 more events were held at the Chinese Tower to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Englischer Garten. At Christmas time a Christmas market is held at the Chinese Tower.
On Sundays and public holidays in summer live music is played at the ground floor of the Chinese Tower alternating between the musical groups Rossbachtaler and Thoma. During good weather the musical groups also play on Wednesdays and Fridays until early morning.
Restaurants
In the Biedermeier era from 1825 to 1848 the Chinesische Wirtschaft was located south of the Chinese Tower, with a bowling alley and a dance floor. During this time beer was also served at the Chinese Tower. On three days every week a concert or military band would play dance music. During this time there were four small wooden pavilions with characteristic curly roofs in the area. In 1912 a new inn was erected at the site.
There has been a beer garden run by Antje Schneider since 1974, with 7000 seating places, which is the second largest beer garden in Munich after the Hirschgarten. The beer garden, which sells Hofbräu beer, is one of the most famous places for tourists. Traditional Bavarian Brotzeit can also be consumed at the beer garden.
The Restaurant am Chinesischer Turm is also located near the beer garden. The restaurant serves regional and international cuisine. The Bavarian royal court used to frequent the restaurant in the 19th century.
In art and literature
The Chinese Tower is often mentioned or depicted in art and literature together with the Englischer Garten. In 1830 Moritz Gottlieb Saphir wrote a poem called Der chinesische Turm about the life of people and the nature around the tower. Five years later a letter from Bettina von Arnim to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was published, in which she writes about the Chinese Tower. In 1840 an anonymous author in the Vaterländischer Magazin wrote a column about dining at the tower.
The Chinese Tower inspired numerous artists already in the 18th century, using it as the primary or secondary subject in paintings and drawings. Artists depicting the Chinese Tower have included Carl August Lebschée, Johann Michael Mettenleiter, Fritz Schider, and Richard Mahn.

Prevent This Tragedy is a song by American rock band, Alkaline Trio, released on their 2005 album, Crimson. The song was written by Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano, and Derek Grant.
Background
"Prevent This Tragedy" was written about the West Memphis Three; a group of teenagers convicted of murdering three children in 1993. The case became highly controversial due to all three juveniles being found guilty with what the general public believed to be a severe lack of evidence against them.
Many members of the music community showed their support over the years to have the West Memphis Three released from prison. Alkaline Trio in particular became heavily involved with a yearly awareness day for the three, while guitarist, Matt Skiba, corresponded with Damien Echols, the only one of the three men who had been sentenced to death row, in an effort to save his life. Skiba also stated that they had also been a major influence on not only writing Crimson, but the majority of the band's activities for over a decade."That was something that we, and myself in particular, were driven and influenced by. Especially Damien’s situation, because he was facing the death sentence. He was on his third and last appeal, and then they were going to kill him. It was a personal statement about someone who was facing imminent death as a young person.” - Matt Skiba
Reception
Critics have praised "Prevent This Tragedy" for helping to spread awareness for the case of the West Memphis Three. Mala Mortensa of Alternative Press praised the song's narrative, and noted how much more emotional it is now that all three men have been released from prison, but have yet to be fully exonerated.

Assembly members and even-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 6, 1877.

Monarch was launched at South Shields in 1799. She became a transport. In 1809 her owners had her lengthened. In 1816 she made a voyage to Batavia. Then in 1818 she carried migrants from Liverpool to Quebec. She was last listed in 1825.
In 1813 the British East India Company had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India, the Indian Ocean, or south-east Asia under a licence from the EIC. Monarch made such a voyage, even though she does not appear in the most comprehensive list of such vessels, or in lists of vessels sailing under a licence.
On 16 May 1816, Monarch, Gascoyne, master, sailed from Portsmouth, bound for Batavia. From Batavia she sailed to Bengal, where she arrived on 1 February 1817. By 10 December she was at the Cape of Good Hope, having come from Bengal. On 5 January 1818 she arrived at St Helena, and the next day sailed for England. She arrived at Liverpool in late February, having lost her mizenmast, sails, and boats in a gale off the Western Islands.
On 16 August 1818, Monarch, Thornhill, master, arrived at Quebec with 50 settlers. The voyage from Liverpool had taken 66 days.
Fate
Monarch continued to be listed until 1825, however she had not been surveyed since 1818, and Monarch, Thornhill, master, did not appear in Lloyd's Lists ship arrival and departure data after 1818.

Storyliving by Disney is a business venture and brand of The Walt Disney Company announced on February 16, 2022, to collaboratively develop master-planned communities that utilize Disney Imagineering and are staffed by Disney cast members. It operates under the company's Disney Living Development, Inc. subsidiary.
Cotino
Cotino is the first Storyliving by Disney community proposed for development with other locations under exploration. Located in the city of Rancho Mirage, California on land adjacent to, and once owned by, the Annenberg Sunnylands Estate, Cotino will be developed in collaboration with DMB Development LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona. It will be a mixed-use development with several residential options, hotels, resort facilities, and a retail center. The community is expected to surround a grand oasis and lagoon.
The community's name, Cotino, was derived from Cotinus, the genus name of a plant commonly referred to as the Smoketree. It was chosen in recognition of Walt Disney, who maintained a home in the Smoke Tree Ranch in nearby Palm Springs. Smoke Tree Ranch was one of Disney's favorite locations to relax. So loved by Disney, the Ranch's stylized STR emblem was included on Walt's tie on the 1993 Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue, Partners.

Angie's Umbrella is a tall metal sculpture by Jim Pridgeon and Benson Shaw, installed in Seattle, Washington, United States.
Description
The sculpture of an inside-out umbrella is installed at the intersection of Elliott and Western Avenues at Lenora Street. Named after Pridgeon's grandmother, the 2003 artwork is made of stainless steel, powder coated aluminum, and cast urethane. It is tall and has a diameter of . Regina Hackett of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer described the artwork as "lean, clean and even elegant, with black trim and red mesh metal creating a moiré pattern". Inspired by Seattle's rainy weather, the red sculpture rotates 360 degrees, depending on which way the wind is blowing. An artist statement published by the City of Seattle says, "The basic idea was to complete an artwork that would successfully meet the inherent aesthetic need of the site, while simultaneously gaining community support and passing engineering and city administrative review."
History
The artwork was commissioned by the Belltown and Denny Hill Business Associations, Belltown Community Council, and the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' Early Implementation funds.
Reception
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer Regina Hackett said the artwork "puts a flashy punctuation point between the Market and Belltown" and complimented the artists, writing, "In other hands, an inside-out umbrella might have been corny or despicably cute." Writing for the Orlando Sentinel, John and Sally Macdonald said the work was "likely to become a beloved icon in soggy Seattle" in 2006. Angie's Umbrella has been included in multiple Curbed Seattle lists, including Kelly Skahan's 2011 overview of Seattle's "finest" public art, Sean Keeley's overview of the city's "most loathed" public art, and Keeley and Sarah Anne Lloyd's 2019 list of 30 "notable public art spots in Seattle". The sculpture has been included in a Frommer's walking tour of the city.

She was born to Phasael II and Salampsio and the granddaughter of Phasael, brother of Herod the Great.
She married Herod Agrippa after he returned from having spent his childhood in Rome.
By the help of Herodias, she convinced Herod Antipas to appoint Herod Agrippa as governor in Tiberias in Galileen.
When Agrippa and Antipas became involved in conflict and Agrippa wished to return to Rome, Cypros successfully negotiated a loan from the banker Alexander de Alabarch of Alexandria to finance his exile.
Issue
Herod Agrippa II [b. AD 27/28?-d. 93?] became the eighth and final ruler from the Herodian family, but without any control of Judea. He supported Roman Rule and died childless.
Berenice [b. AD 28-after 81], who first married Marcus Julius Alexander, son of Alexander the Alabarch around AD 41. After Marcus Julius died [AD 44], she married her uncle Herod, king of Chalcis by whom she had two sons, Berenicianus and Hyrcanus. She later lived with her brother Agrippa II, reputedly in an incestuous relationship. Finally, she married Polemon II, king of Cilicia as alluded to by Juvenal. Berenice also had a common law relationship with the Roman emperor Titus.Similar to her brother Herod Agrippa II, she supported Roman Rule.
Drusus [b.?-d.?]According to Josephus, there was also a younger brother called Drusus, who died before his teens.
Mariamne [b. 34/35-], who married Julius Archelaus, son of Chelcias AD 49/50; they had a daughter Berenice (daughter of Mariamne) [b. AD 50] who lived with her mother in Alexandria, Egypt after her parents' divorce. Around AD 65 Mariamne left her husband and married Demetrius of Alexandria who was its Alabarch and had a son from him named Agrippinus.
Drusilla [AD 38–79], who married first to Gaius Julius Azizus, King of Emesa and then to Antonius Felix, the procurator of Judaea. Drusilla and her son Marcus Antonius Agrippa died in Pompeii during the eruption of Vesuvius. A daughter, Antonia Clementiana, became a grandmother to a Lucius Anneius Domitius Proculus. Two possible descendants from this marriage are Marcus Antonius Fronto Salvianus (a quaestor) and his son Marcus Antonius Felix Magnus, a high priest in 225.

Jerry Gale Graybeal (born October 12, 1955) is an American football coach and former player who is currently the associate athletics director for development of Weber State University. He played college football at Idaho State and later coached the Weber State football team from 1998 to 2004. He also served as athletic director of the school from 2005 to 2009.
Early life and education
Graybeal was born on October 12, 1955. He attended Walla Walla High School and played cornerback in college for Idaho State from 1977 to 1978.
Coaching career
After graduating from Idaho State, Graybeal started a coaching career in 1979 with the Walla Walla Community College Warriors football team as the defensive backs coach. After serving several seasons in that position, he was named assistant coach at Eastern Washington University. He was promoted from assistant coach to defensive coordinator in 1988, serving in that position for the next ten seasons. In December 1997, Graybeal was named head football coach at Weber State University. He led them to a winning record in his first season, but the team declined the following year and won just four out of eleven games. In 2000, Weber State rebounded, winning seven out of eleven games and being ranked number 18 nationally. Two consecutive 3–8 seasons in 2001 and 2002 put Graybeal "on the hot seat," but he helped the team compile a 8–4 record the following year, leading him to be named Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year and get a renewed contract. However, Weber State lost a team-record 10 games in the 2004 season, which led to Graybeal being "relieved of his coaching duties."
Later career
In 2005, Graybeal was named "special assistant to the director of athletics," before being promoted a few months later to interim athletic director following the resignation of William J. Weidner. He returned to the position of athletic director in 2006, and served in that position before resigning in 2009. He subsequently accepted a lesser position as assistant vice president in administrative support services and later became associate athletics director for development.
