Isaac Shapiro (born 1931) is an American lawyer with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. He is an expert in Soviet law, Japanese law, and served as the president of Japan Society. He has also written widely about Japan and Japanese-American relations.
Biography
Shapiro was born in Japan in 1931 as a Stateless person. His father was Constantine Shapiro, a Russian Jewish musician who left the country with his family after the Russian Revolution. The elder Shapiro lived in Germany, where he was the first cellist of the Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester, and moved to Japan, where he pioneered the establishment of Western classical music. His mother was a concert pianist who met and married the elder Shapiro in Berlin, before leaving for Harbin, China, and Japan. He is also a nephew of concert pianist Maxim Shpairo and Russian-French philosopher Vladimir Lossky.
Shapiro grew up in the Japanese-occupied Harbin and Yokohama during World War II. He studied at Saint Joseph College, Yokohama but his studies were interrupted by the war. He moved to the United States in 1945, after then-marine officer John C. Munn hired him as translator and was made his guardian. He attended Punahou School in Honolulu, graduating from Columbia College in 1954, and Columbia Law School in 1956. He was also a Fulbright scholar and studied at the University of Paris.
He joined Milbank Tweed upon graduating from law school and opened the firm's first Japanese office in Tokyo in 1977, which led to protests from the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, resulting in a freeze on the establishment of foreign law offices in Japan. However, his trailblazing effort subsequently led to the entry of other foreign law firms. In 1986, he joined Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and headed its international practice, opening its practice in Japan. He became of counsel to the firm in 2001.
Shapiro was a director of Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi Foundation in New York City, and served as a past president of the Isamu Noguchi Foundation. He also served as president of the Japan Society from 1970 to 1977.
He is the author of Edokko: Growing Up a Foreigner in Wartime Japan, an autobiography of his childhood. He was also the author of The Soviet Legal System, a textbook on Soviet law, co-written with Columbia law professor John N. Hazard.
In 2006, Shapiro was awarded an Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon by the Emperor of Japan for his service in promoting U.S.-Japan cultural relations.
Personal life
Shapiro is married to Jacqueline Weiss, who he met at Columbia law. Weiss comes from a family of rabbis and is a niece of the former rabbis of Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco and the Rockdale Temple in Cincinnati.

Ryoko Kimura (木村了子, Kimura Ryoko, born 1971) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works in Nihonga painting. She studied at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, graduating from the oil painting course in 1995, and earning her Master's Degree in 1997. Her artwork subject matter is traditional Bijin-ga (literally "beautiful person picture") but rather than depicting women, she instead observes the male figure from the "sexual gaze from a heterosexual female standpoint." Her artwork has been exhibited in Japan, Taiwan, China, France, Germany, and USA.
Art Style
Kimura frequently depicts the motif of ikemen (good-looking men) and notes her inspiration from "Johnny's boys", a male entertainment and talent agency famous in Japan. Though her backgrounds and Nihonga style appear quite conservative and hearken back to Muromachi Period works, her modern human subjects and inversion of the male-gaze from Bijin-ga demonstrate her contemporary influences. She is also inspired by stained glass of Christian art, which she studied before seriously pursuing painting from 2003. In an essay, Kimura compares the black sumi ink outlines of Nihonga to the thick linework in stained glass windows.

"Heartache All Over the World" is an up-beat song by English singer Elton John from his 20th studio album, Leather Jackets (1986). Written by John and Bernie Taupin, it was released as the album's lead single in September 1986, charting at number 45 in the UK Singles Chart and at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 10 in Australia, where it peaked at number 7.
The song talks about not being able to date for a night. John performed Heartache All Over the World four times during his Tour De Force tour in Australia in 1986, which is notable for John's problems with his vocal cords during that time.
Chart performance
Heartache All Over the World reached number. 45 in the UK Singles Chart, number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 58 in Canada, making this song one of the worst-charting singles in John's career.
However, the song found better success in Belgium (No. 26), Ireland (No. 24), New Zealand (No. 22) and notably Australia, peaking at number 7.
Music video
The music video, directed by Mike Brady, features John and his band playing the song in a stage-like background. It also includes clips from mid-1940s movies and some historical events.

John Spangler Nicholas (10 March 1895 – 11 September 1963) was an American embryologist and a professor of zoology at Yale University. He contributed to experimental techniques for the study of embryology through transplants, the early stage development of teleost and mammalian zygotes.
Life and work
Nicholas was born at Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, the only child of Reverend Samuel Trauger and Elizabeth Ellen. Although the parents hoped he would join the Lutheran order, he chose to study medicine, influenced by an uncle, Harry Spangler. His early education was at Gettysburg College (BS 1916 and MS 1917) followed by entry into Yale. He enlisted with the Army Medical Corps during the war and returned following discharge in 1919. He received a doctorate in 1921. In 1915 He then taught anatomy at the University of Pittsburgh at the invitation of Davenport Hooker. He joined Yale in 1926 and became Sterling professor of zoology in 1939. He served at Yale until his retirement in 1963.
Nicholas followed experiments in the asymmetry of development which had been begun by his Yale supervisor Ross G. Harrison. Harrison had shown that grafts develop as left or right limbs based on the orientation in which a limb bud was grafted. Spangler showed that this orientation was defined by a narrow ring of cells. He later developed experimental methods to grow rat embryos in chicken chorioallantois.
Nicholas married Helen Benton Brown in 1921.

The United Kingdom, Ireland and the Isle of Man are interconnected by five subsea and overland gas pipelines. These provide facilities for the transfer of natural gas from sources in Scotland and England to consumers in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and the Isle of Man.
Background
The Republic of Ireland had a supply of natural gas from the Kinsale Head offshore field which was in production from 1978 to 2020. As production declined so further sources of natural gas were identified and assessed. One approach was to abstract gas from the British National Grid’s National Transmission System (NTS) in Scotland. The NTS is fed from gas fields on the UK Continental Shelf; from Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway); and as Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) obtained internationally.
The interconnectors
Interconnector No.1
The earliest interconnector (designated Interconnector No.1) was commissioned in 1991. The NTS take-off point is from the No. 11 and No. 12 Feeders at the Beattock Compressor Station north of Moffat, Scotland. From the take-off point gas is routed to a compressor station where the gas pressure is raised to 85 barg. A 36-inch diameter buried overland pipeline transports the gas to Brighouse Bay on the coast. The Brighouse compressor station raises the gas pressure to 140 barg. Gas is routed through a 24-inch diameter, 162 km long subsea pipeline to Gormanston, Co. Meath, Ireland where controls feed gas into the Irish gas distribution system.
SNIP
The second interconnector is the Scotland to Northern Ireland Pipeline (SNIP). Gas is taken from a Tee in the Beattock to Brighouse Bay pipeline at Twynholm. The 24-inch diameter pipeline is routed overland to Stranraer and then subsea to Ballylumford power station Northern Ireland. SNIP is 135 km long and was commissioned in 1996. From Ballylumford a pipeline continues as the 24-inch diameter 35 km long Belfast Gas Transmission Pipeline (BGTP) to Belfast via Carrickfergus. The 18-inch diameter 112 km long North-West Pipeline (NWP) connects to the BGTP at Carrickfergus and extends to Coolkeeragh power station. The NWP has take-offs to pressure reduction stations at Ballymena, Coleraine, Maydown and Derry.
Interconnector No.2
The third interconnector (designated Interconnector No.2) were commissioned in 2003. The new system comprised a second compressor station at Beattock, a second overland pipeline, and an extension to the compressor at Brighouse. The latter feeds gas into a 30-inch diameter 192 km long subsea pipeline to Gormanston, where it supplies gas for the Irish gas system.
IOMS
At its nearest point Interconnector No.2 is 11 km from the Isle of Man. This gave an opportunity to provide a gas supply to the Isle of Man. A 10-inch Tee on the Interconnector and a 10-inch subsea spur (Isle of Man Spur, IOMS) pipeline which supplies gas to the Glen Mooar Above Ground Installation (AGI) on Isle of Man. Gas is transferred to the Pulrose power station near Douglas. Several districts are provided with a supply of natural gas.
SNP
The fifth interconnector is a 156 km long overland cross border pipeline from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland. This is called the South North Pipeline (SNP) and was commissioned in 2006. At Gormanston there is a connection between IC2 and the southern end of the SNP. The northern end of SNP is connected to the NWP 12 km west of Carrickfergus. The SNP has take-offs to pressure reduction stations at Newry, Banbridge, Derryhale, Lisburn and Belfast.
The key parameters of the interconnecting pipelines are summarised in the table.
Gas export and import

The Battle of Augustów was a battle on the Eastern Front of the First World War. It was fought between the Russian Empire and the German Empire in September 1914.
Battle
Camouflaged Russian soldiers who had been transferred to the right bank of the Niemen River spotted German troops attempting to cross the river by constructing platoons and opened fire, sweeping hundreds of Germans into the river. A prolonged artillery duel followed, during which the Germans attempted to cross the river again over the pontoon bridge but failed.
The Germans then made a third attempt to cross the river in the evening, but were once again mowed down by Russian artillery. According to one report in the Evening Standard, approximately 20,000 German bodies were floating down the Niemen River. The Germans retreated eight miles, with the Russian Cossack soldiers in pursuit, leaving behind wounded soldiers, weapons, munitions and convoys.
Driven from the Neman, the Germans made desperate attempts to slow the offensive by Russian troops, and a battle took place near Augustów. The Germans were defeated by Russian artillery fire and bayonets, and were pushed back to the East Prussian border. According to Russian estimates, at least 65,000 Germans were killed, wounded or taken prisoner in total at the Battle of Augustów.

Nasiriyah Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الناصرية الدولي), also known as Dhi Qar Sports Complex, is a football stadium currently under construction in Nasiriyah, Iraq. It will primarily serve as the new home stadium of Al-Nasiriya FC. The stadium will have a capacity of 30,000 spectators. The net construction cost is estimated around 95 million USD funded entirely by Iraqi government. Construction is currently on hold.
Overview
In 2013, the Iraqi government presented the project for a new stadium in Dhi Qar, in the south of the country, with a design signed by the French architecture firm of Bechu & Associés in collaboration with Alain-Charles Perrot. The project includes a main stadium with a capacity of 30,000 spectators, two training stadiums seating 2,500 and 500 people respectively, a four-star hotel with 80 rooms and two sports pavilions (aquatic center and sports hall). The entire complex complies with FIFA standards.
The project that started in 2013 was supposed to be delivered in two and a half years, but seven years later, only 75% of the stadium is complete.
In January 2022, faced with the delays, the Iraqi government decides to terminate all contracts with the French companies in charge of the work.

Carlos André Pederneiras de Castro (born March 22, 1967) is a former Brazilian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and currently a MMA trainer as well as MMA promoter. He is the co-founder of Brazilian MMA gym, Nova União and was its leader and head coach until he stepped down in 2018 to focus on another gym called Academia Upper. He is known for his work in training Jose Aldo, B.J. Penn and Renan Barão who all became UFC champions.
He is also the President of Shooto Brasil, the Brazilian branch of Shooto, a Japanese MMA promotion. During his short career as an MMA fighter, he challenged Pat Miletich for the UFC Welterweight Championship in 1999.
Background
Pederneiras was born on March 22, 1967 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When he was 17 years old he joined a gym, originally to train with weight for fitness. However the gym offered Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) classes as well so he decided to try it out. He trained with Rodrigo Vieira, a student of Rickson Gracie until he received his Brown Belt.After Vieira left to join another gym, Carlson Gracie became Pederneiras' coach and also offered him a position of instructors of the juniors at the gym. In 1989, Pederneiras received his Black Belt from Gracie when he was 22 years old. In 2018, Pederneiras became owner of the gym he originally trained and renamed it to Academia Upper.
During Pederneiras' BJJ career under the Carlson Gracie team, he was a six-time Brazilian National Champion. In 2019, the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) promoted Pederneiras to 7th degree Coral (Red and Black) Belt.
Pederneiras' nickname is Dedé which is a friendly way of saying André, in Portuguese.
Coaching career
After obtaining his Black Belt, Pederneiras established his own BJJ team called Dedé Pederneiras Jiu Jitsu. Although is reached success quite fast, it was unable to compete with much larger team like Gracie Barra and the Carlson Gracie Team that won most of the tournaments due to the number of athletes they could field. Pederneiras met Wendell Alexander at a BJJ tournament. Alexander was also had his own BJJ team called Mello Tenis Clube and like Pederneiras, had trouble competing with much larger teams.
In 1995, the two of them eventually joined forces to create the gym, Nova União which translates to New Union. Nova União would become one of the leading teams in BJJ where it would win many medals in tournaments such as the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships.
In the late 1990s, Pederneiras became one of the first Brazilians to open the doors of his gym to foreigners with the most famous initial ones being B.J. Penn and John Lewis. This attracted controversy and his old master, Carlson called him a Creonte (meaning traitor) although anti foreign sentiment eventually faded away as time passed. Penn earned his Black Belt under Pederneiras in 2000 in just three years and then a few months later he became champion at Black Belt level in the featherweight division of the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships. He was the first American to achieve this feat.
In 2002, Pederneiras decided to pull Nova União out of all tournaments organized by the IBJJF. This was due to opposition of IBJJF's policy of not paying their competitors. Pederneiras created the Olympic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (CBJJO) which would create create its own tournaments such as the Copa Del Mundo. Eventually after several years of disputes, Pederneiras allowed Nova União to return to IBJJF tournaments and CBJJO was dissolved. CBJJO would be re-instituted later under new management and IBJJF tournaments are now offering cash rewards.
Later on, Pederneiras decided make Nova União branch out more into MMA because he saw it as a viable way for many of its gym members who had poor backgrounds to earn a living. Pederneiras himself was previously an MMA fighter from 1998 to 2000. Pederneiras through his connections became President of Shooto Brasil, the Brazilian branch of Shooto, a Japanese MMA promotion. Pederneiras has organized many MMA events in Brazil as a way of providing its gym members as well as many other fighters a way of earning a living. Since then Pederneiras had focused mostly on the MMA part of the team and has left the BJJ part to Alexander and other trainers.
In 2017, Pederneiras attracted some attention when he urged Brazilian fighters to move to the United States as it offered better opportunities for training and development.
In 2018, Pederneiras stepped down from his duties as leader and head trainer of Nova União to focus on building another gym called Academia Upper. This was the gym he originally trained at.
Pederneiras has spent a lot of time helping the local community, many of whom at underprivileged. Pederneiras has allowed the underprivileged to train and live at Nova União at no cost provided they help out at the gym. The most notable example of these students is Jose Aldo. Aldo grew up poor with little money but was allowed to train and live at Nova União provided he helped out at the gym. Eventually Aldo became UFC Featherweight Champion with the highest number of title defenses at seven and is considered by Sherdog to be the greatest MMA featherweight fighter in history.As of 2021, Pederneiras still remains as Aldo's coach.

From the filmmaker
Talking about the film, Lochya Zaala Re is based on Suresh Jairam's play of the same name. While speaking about his star cast, filmmaker Paritosh Painter said "The entire film was shot in London. I had a lot of fun working with Ankush, Siddharth, Vaidehi, Sayaji Shinde, and all the actors. On the one hand, they were all well-known artists, so it was very easy to work with them" It also features Sayaji Shinde, Vijay Patkar, Prasad Khandekar and Resham Tipnis in a pivotal role. Lochya Zaala Re was released on 11 February 2022.
Plot
In order to increase his allowance, Aditya, who settled in Birmingham has written to his uncle staying in Satara, that he is married although he is a bachelor. One-day uncle drops in unexpectedly in Birmingham. And Aditya is drawn into the vertex of intrigue when Uncle mistakes Pooja, Aditya's Best friend Manav's wife, as Aditya's wife & the neighbor's Ruby as Manav's wife. Aditya is basically honest and does not wish to deceive his uncle but.. does he have a choice. The Uncle is impressed by Pooja and also decides to steps up Aditya's allowance for choosing a pretty & sweet girl like Pooja to be his wife. Uncle also promises Pooja that he will step up the allowance further if they have a baby. This leaves Aditya with no choice but to carry on this act, very much to Manav Patel's discomfort.
Further complications arise when Ruby, the neighbor PK's wife drops in at the house, and Uncle mistakes her for Manav's wife.
Complications keep tumbling when the nightfall's, and it's time to retire. Who goes to bed with whom? Manav is irked when Aditya suggests that since the Uncle is home, he (Aditya) will have to spend the night with Pooja and is further annoyed when he (Manav) has to spend the night in the Maid's room.
The situation reaches its climax when Uncle nearly catches Manav sneaking into Aditya & Pooja's room.
But the plot becomes more hilarious when the next-door drunkard neighbor P.K. drops in the bed with Uncle and is mistaken for someone else. The indescribable confusion that follows builds into a rich complexity of mistaken identities, splendid farcical situations, and a climax of comic wizardry.
From here on the permutations become so intricate that it seems impossible that Aditya, Pooja & Manav can ever sort them out. But miraculously they do, so hilariously that the audience will keep rolling with laughter till the movie ends. A fast, funny plot makes this rip-roaring farce easy & enjoyable for the entire family.

Rhipicera is a genus of beetle belonging to the family Rhipiceridae.
Description
It has been reported that in the genus Rhipicera "...the size and shape of the male antennae suggest that these antennae may be involved in detecting trace quantities of odorant molecules associated with female conspecifics. This suggestion is based on: (a) the fact that the antennae will have a relatively large surface area, encouraging diffusion of odorant molecules to the antennal surface.. "and that"...(b) the assumption that many sensilla (the sensory structures on the antennal surface) can be accommodated on the relatively large surface area, leading to greater sensitivity, a quality necessary for trace detection of odorant molecules; and (c) the fact that a larger outline area should increase the chance of molecule capture...".
It has also been reported that "The antennae of male beetles were fanned when perching or flying..." and "..could fold their antennae into a banner-like form when copulating with female beetles."
Species
All five species of the genus Rhipicera are closely related based on their morphological characters.
Rhipicera attenuata ; Western Australia
Rhipicera carinata ; Western Australia
Rhipicera femorata ; Eastern coastfrom southern Queensland to South Australia and Tasmania

Water Tower San Nicolas (Dutch: Watertoren San Nicolas) is a water tower and museum in San Nicolaas, Aruba. It was built in 1939 to relieve the water shortage in Aruba. In 1979, the tower became obsolete and in 1996, it was transferred to the monument fund, and restored. In 2016, the industry museum opened in the tower.
History
The island of Aruba used to depend on rainwater and wells for its drinking water. In 1928, Lago Oil (Exxon) and Shell opened refineries on the island. The population increase resulted in a water shortage which was temporarily relieved by shipments of drinking water from the United States. In 1933, a sea water desalination plant was constructed at Balashi. A distribution network was laid out, and it was decided to built water towers at Oranjestad and San Nicolaas.
In August 1939, the water tower was officially opened by governor Gielliam Wouters. The tower was designed by and is in Art Deco style. The lower parts were used as offices for the civil service and the water authority. The tower is tall, and contained a reservoir located above the sea water level. In the 1970s, three dry years resulted in the existing plant running close to capacity. In 1979, a larger desalination plant in Balashi was opened, and the water towers were rendered obsolete.
In 1996, ownership of the water tower was transferred to the monument fund who started to restore the building. On 8 March 2013, the tower was restored, and in 2016, the industry museum opened in the building.
Industry museum
The industry museum provides an overview of the industrial activities on Aruba. It has displays of the gold, aloe, phosphate (guano) and oil industries which were present on the island. The public utility companies of Aruba have permanent exhibitions of their activities.

Bild (alternatively also called Bild TV) is a German free-to-air private news TV channel that represents the television arm of the Bild newspaper. It belongs to the WeltN24 broadcasting group, received its broadcasting license in June 2021, and began broadcasting on August 22, 2021.
Bild is marketed by the publishing subsidiary Visoon Media and is supported by advertising.
License and incorporation
The broadcasting license required to start broadcasting as a classic television broadcaster with 24/7 operation was applied for in August 2021. On June 24, 2021, it was announced the granting of the broadcasting license. At the end of July 2021, Bild began test operations via Astra. On the satellite Astra 19.2 Ost on transponder 33 there was an indication of the planned start of transmission.
Reception and criticism
In an interview with Johannes Nichelmann from Deutschlandfunk Kultur on August 22, 2021, critic Matthias Dell described Bild TV as "empty, poorly produced and boring" and compared the lack of professionalism of Bild TV with "student television or a public access channel". In his television review on August 23, 2021, Alexander Krei from DWDL.de described the start of broadcasting on the Bild television channel as "television without a resting pulse" and complained that Bild "rushed through the program".
ARD program director Christine Strobl announced on October 3, 2021, one week after the 2021 federal election, that she would take legal action against Bild TV because the broadcaster took over the 6 p.m. election forecasts from ARD and ZDF and for minutes the Berlin round from ARD and ZDF had transmitted. She also said about Bild TV that she found "the type of reporting highly problematic: this type of exaggeration, this focus on dividing society and dealing with facts". It is "clearly pursuing one goal: to discredit public service broadcasting in its entirety."

South Rauceby Hall, South Rauceby, Lincolnshire, England is a country house dating from the mid-19th century. It was designed by William Burn in 1842 for Anthony Peacock Willson. Inherited by the Cracroft-Amcotts family, it remains a private home. It is a Grade II listed building.
History
South Rauceby Hall, often simply Rauceby Hall, is built on the site of an earlier house. The present building was commissioned in 1842 by Anthony Peacock Willson, a local banker, on his acquiring the Rauceby estate in 1842. He engaged William Burn, a Scottish architect with a large country house practice. Burn had already undertaken work in Lincolnshire, at Stoke Rochford Hall, and at Harlaxton Manor, and was to continue his work in the county at Revesby Abbey. Following the death of Willson, and of his four unmarried and childless sons, the house was inherited in 1931 by a distant relative, John Cracroft-Amcotts. In the 1940s, Neville Henderson, a relative of the Cracroft-Amcotts, and British ambassador to Berlin in the years immediately prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, lived at the house, writing his memoir, Failure of a Mission: Berlin 1937–1939, while in residence. South Rauceby Hall remains in the ownership of the Cracroft-Amcotts family and is not open to the public. The park is occasionally accessible.
Architecture
Nicholas Antram, in his 2002 revised volume Lincolnshire, in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, describes the architectural style of South Rauceby as Tudor Gothic, and notes that the hall lacks the Baroque elements of Revesby Abbey and Stoke Rochford Hall. The house is of two main storeys, with basements and attics. The construction material is limestone ashlar. South Rauceby Hall is a Grade II listed building as is the entrance lodge, with its gates and railings. The gardens and park are designated Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.

David Manning is the Commissioner of Police in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Since early 2020 he has also been designated as the country's Pandemic Controller in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Early life and education
David Manning is the son of Michael J. Manning, an economist and anti-corruption campaigner who was born in Australia and became a naturalized citizen of PNG, and Relly Manning, from East New Britain in PNG. His grandfather, Alan Manning, was one of the founders of the Democratic Labor Party in Australia. Between 1988 and 1993, Manning was educated at Canberra Grammar School. He then studied for a year at the Papua New Guinea University of Technology. His lack of tertiary qualifications was later to cause him difficulties.
Career
Manning rose rapidly through the ranks of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC). In 2008 he was appointed as director of the Special Services Division, a unit within the force that has responsibility throughout the country, unlike other police units, which are restricted to certain areas of operation. From 2013 to 2015, he served as security coordinator for the 2015 Pacific Games, which were held in PNG's capital, Port Moresby in July of that year. After that, he was made assistant commissioner of operations, being promoted to deputy commissioner in 2019. In December 2019, seven months after being made a deputy commissioner he was appointed as Commissioner of Police.
Manning's appointment to the top position was challenged in the courts by two of the candidates who had failed to be selected for the post. They argued that the post of commissioner required a university degree and that Manning lacked this. Their initial challenge, in January 2021, was successful and Manning was ordered by the judge to vacate the post. He was subsequently allowed to stay in post pending a Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea review of the decision by the lower court judge. In December 2021, the Supreme Court found in Manning's favour. The issue revolved around the fact that two posts had been advertised together, that of Police Commissioner, for which tertiary qualifications were not a requirement, and that of Secretary of State for the Police, for which they were. The expectation of PNG's Public Service Commission was that one person would fill both posts. However, the Supreme Court found that the position of head or secretary of the department of police had no constitutional and statutory foundation in law and thus Manning's appointment as commissioner was legal.
In 2020, Manning was also appointed as controller of the COVID-19 pandemic, first with the title of emergency controller and then as the designated pandemic controller. This effectively gave him the power to issue all regulations necessary to try to control the pandemic within the country, including immigration controls, burial arrangements, movement controls, and other social restrictions. Controls on the sale of alcohol led to the death of a senior police officer in May 2020 when he intervened in a dispute between off-duty soldiers and a beer-shop owner. This event seemed likely to lead to a confrontation between the police and the military and was only avoided by a joint intervention by Manning and Brigadier General Gilbert Toropo, head of the armed forces. Following the unrest in 2021 in neighbouring Solomon Islands, a contingent of PNG police was sent to the country as part of a Commonwealth peacekeeping force. In February 2022, Manning was forced to refute allegations that PNG police officers had behaved inappropriately.

Catherine Desnitski () (April 27, 1886, Lutsk – January 3, 1960, Paris) was a Russian noblewoman, a participant in the Russo-Japanese War and the holder of the Cross of St. George (1904). She was the wife of the Siamese prince Chakrabongse Bhuvanath (1906–1919). The story of their love is described in literary works and a ballet by the Kremlin Ballet Company at the Bangkok International Festival of Dance and Music (2003).
Childhood
Desnitski was born Katerina Ivanov Desnitskaya. Her father was Ivan Stepanovich Desnitsky. Born in 1838, to a poor rural deacon, he received his early education in a theological seminary. Later he entered Moscow University, graduating from the Faculty of Law in 1866.
During his studies, despite financial difficulties, he married Karolina Karlovna (Klementievna), née Gecklin (?–?1882) a Frenchwoman brought up in the Reformed tradition. They had six children:
Vladimir (06/05/1867, Moscow – ?)
Hope (07/29/1869, Nizhny Novgorod – ?)
Sofia (09/19/1871, Samara – 12/12/1872, Samara)
Evgenia (11/26/1873, Samara – ?1942)
Nikolay (October 10, 1875, Samara – ?)
Alexander (1881, Kiev – ?1943)
Her mother was Maria Mikhailovna Desnitskaya (née Khizhnyakova) (06/20/1851 – winter 1903, Kiev). In 1868, she had graduated with a silver medal from the Poltava Institute of Noble Maidens (now Poltava National Technical University named after Yuri Kondratyuk).
Adult life and marriage
Denitski became a nurse and served in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War and was awarded a medal.
In 1904, Desnitski met the Siamese Prince of Bishnulok, (the second son of the King Rama V), who received a military education in St. Petersburg, and was a graduate of the Page Corps (1902).
In 1906 they married in Istanbul's Greek Church of the Holy Trinity. She had a son Chula Chakrabon on 28 March 1908 and they lived at the Pakruskavan Palace, Bangkok.
In 1919, the Prince and Denitski divorced, but she refused a financial settlement, and left for Shanghai, where her brother had settled and there was a large Russian diaspora. She became involved in charity work there and later married American Harry Clinton Stone. They later moved to Paris, and then Portland, Oregon. Desnitski was buried in Paris.
She met her only granddaughter just once – Narisa Chakrabon (b. 1956), the daughter of her son Chula and his English wife Elizabeth Hunter. In 1995, Narisa Chakrabon, in collaboration with Eileen Hunter (her maternal aunt), published the book Katya and the Prince of Siam.
Narissa maintained good relations with her cousins from the Desnitski family in Paris and St. Petersburg. Her son, Catherine's great-grandson, Hugo Chakrabon Levy, a well-known musician and composer in Thailand and abroad, is married to Thai actress Tasanavalai Ongartittichai.

Abu Abdallah al-Husayn ibn Nasir al-Dawla was a Hamdanid prince, who along with his brother Ibrahim was the last Hamdanid ruler of Mosul in 989–990. After his defeat at the hand of the Marwanid Kurds and the takeover of Mosul by the Uqaylids, he entered the service of the Fatimid Caliphate.
Life
Al-Husayn was a younger son of the founder of the Hamdanid emirate of Mosul, Nasir al-Dawla (). Nasir al-Dawla was succeeded by his son Abu Taghlib, who had to confront uprisings by his half-brother Hamdan, and conflicts with the Byzantine Empire and the Buyid emir of Iraq, Adud al-Dawla, who finally captured Mosul in 978 and forced Abu Taghlib to flee to Syria. Al-Husayn, however, along with his brother Ibrahim, apparently submitted to the Buyids and entered their service, or were possibly kept as hostages in Baghdad.
During the 980s, Mosul was threatened by the Kurdish chieftain Badh ibn Dustak. Left without support from Baghdad, the local Buyid governor turned to the local Arab tribes of the Banu Uqayl and the Banu Numayr for assistance. This threatened Buyid control of the area as much as the Kurds, and in 989, the new Buyid emir, Baha al-Dawla, allowed the Hamdanid brothers to return to Mosul, in the hope that their local ties would mobilize opposition against Badh, and keep the Arab tribes reined in.
The Hamdanids were indeed received with enthusiasm by the local population, to such a degree that they rose in revolt and expelled the Buyid governor from Mosul. The Uqayl backed the Hamdanids, and received control of the towns of Jazirat ibn Umar, Nisibis, and Balad (north of Mosul), in exchange. Exploiting the turmoil, Badh attacked Mosul in the next year, but was defeated and killed by the numerically inferior Uqayl forces under al-Husayn in battle near Balad. A Hamdanid counter-offensive followed in the region of Amida against Badh's successor, Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn Marwan, but failed to score any success. Indeed, al-Husayn was taken prisoner during the campaign. His brother Ibrahim fled to Uqaylid-held Nisibis, where Muhammad took him and his son Ali prisoner and killed them. The Uqaylid dynasty thus usurped the Hamdanids as emirs of Mosul.
Al-Husayn was released shortly after, through the intercession of the Fatimid caliph, al-Aziz, and found refuge in the Fatimid domains in Syria. Al-Aziz intended to make use of him in his designs against the Emirate of Aleppo, ruled by the Syrian branch of the Hamdanid dynasty: al-Husayn was intended as governor of the city, should the Fatimids manage to conquer it. Throughout the early 990s, the Fatimids tried to conquer the city but failed, in large part due to Byzantine intervention. In 996, shortly before al-Aziz's death, al-Husayn was appointed governor of Tyre, and tasked with suppressing the city's revolt.
His grandson, Nasir al-Dawla ibn Hamdan, served the Fatimids as governor of Syria, before becoming involved in the civil war that nearly shattered the Fatimid state in the late 1060s. He seized Cairo and even attempted to depose the Fatimids and restore the country to Abbasid allegiance, but was murdered along with his brother in 1072/3.

The Guangxi Women's Battalion was a women's unit formed in 1938 in Guangxi, China. It was one of several corps that were founded following an appeal by Soong Mei-ling for women to support the Sino-Japanese War effort in 1937. Similar units included: the Yunnan Women's Battlefield Service Unit, Zhejiang Women's Guerrilla Band, Hunan War Service Corps, and others.
In Guangxi, an initial appeal aimed to recruit 1200 students (both men and women), but over 18,000 initially signed up. Of these 4,269 were selected for service, and of the women chosen, most trained as combat medics with the Fifth Route Army. Reports on the size of the battalion vary from 130 students, to 500, to 800. The battalion fought in southern China.
According to anthropologist Elisabeth Croll, the Guangxi Women's Battalion was "the most famous of the girls' military units" in China.

Visiting expeditions to the International Space Station are teams of one to three astronauts who visit the ISS by Soyuz on short duration expeditions. EP-N is a term used by RKK Energia, meaning both "Visiting Crew" as "Visiting Expedition".
Humans have been on the ISS on a temporary basis since December 1998 and on a permanent basis since November 2000. The permanent occupation of the station is carried out by core crews, who usually stay for six months. Along with this, space shuttles have also been to the ISS during the construction of the station.
Three-seat, single-use Soyuz serve as lifeboats on the ISS, changing every six months. If transporting the core members does not fully occupy the Soyuz, the ships end up being crewed by astronauts returning after a week or ten days on the space shuttle (usually representatives of space agencies other than Russia or space tourists) or by the Soyuz. These crew members are the "visiting team" and their expeditions are called "visiting expeditions" (Russian: экспедиция посещения, or ЭП). In the period 2000–2002, when crews were switched to the space shuttle, visiting expeditions ended up being three people. From 2003 to 2009, there was only one seat available on the Soyuz in addition to two main crew seats. Since 2009, the main crews have been six crew members and the Soyuz was solely used for its transportation until the Crew Dragon launch. The next short visit did not occur until September 2015, in connection with the one-year mission to the ISS, and then in 2019.

Dates beside "Expedition X" are from the stay at the Station.

Expeditions canceled due to the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

Mohamed Sohel Al-Masum (; ; 5 August 1975 – 13 October 2015) was a Bangladeshi professional footballer who mainly played as Left Back. He played for a total of four clubs during his short 10-year career.
International career
Born in Manikganj, Masum spent his youth career with Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP). He played for the BKSP U-14 team, which won the Dana Cup in Denmark in 1990 and also the Gothia Cup in Sweden. Masum went to Bangkok in 1990 to play in the 1990 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers, under coach Abdur Rahim . The Bangladesh team defeated Malaysia 4-0 and tied 1–1 with Thailand. The team also managed to earn a 2–2 draw against giants South Korea. Although the team did not qualify for the main competition, they finished second in a group full of higher ranked countries.
Masum made his senior international debut for the Bangladesh national football team in 1995, during the 4-nation Tiger Trophy tournament held in Myanmar. Coach Otto Pfister named an inexperienced squad, with six new players making their debuts during the tournament, and Masum was one of the standouts. He managed to outplace veteran left-back Masoud Rana, and played every single game during the country's first ever major tournament triumph. Masum also represented Bangladesh during the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Club career
He started his top-level career with Youngmen's Fakirerpool Club in the 1993 season alongside other famous footballers such as Hassan Al-Mamun and Amin Rana. Masum played as the left-back at Fakirerpool, which played some tremendous football over the next two seasons in a 5-3-2 formation, which was unique for that time in our country. In 1995, the Young Men's Club were promoted to the Dhaka Premier Football League. Masum was an integral part as the Young Men's finished third during their first season in the top-flight, leaving behind traditional powerhouses like Brothers Union and Muktijoddha Sangsad KC. The team also managed to defeat eventual champions Dhaka Abahani.
During the 1998–99 season, Masum suffered a knee injury. Due to not receiving proper treatment the injury did not go away and In the year 2000, his career ended at the age of only 25. He played from 95 to 99 in Abahani and then went on to play for Muktijoddha Sangsad KC and Dhaka Mohammedan.
Personal life and death
On 13 October 2015, Masum died after suffering a Cardiac arrest. He was buried at his family graveyard in Singair, Manikganj.

Prikumskoe () is a rural locality (a selo) in Stavropol Krai, in southern Russia.
Location
Prikumskoe is located in the North Caucasus, around 15 km west of Mineralnye Vody, and around 20 km northwest of the health resort city Pyatigorsk. The village lies on the left bank of Kuma River at 400 m above the sea level, to the north of the so-called Camel Mountain with two distinctive humps.
History
The village was founded in 1868 by German Christians affiliated with the Temple Society. The original name of the village was Tempelhof, which comes from the German words Tempel (i.e. temple) and Hof (i.e. yard or farm), in reference to the religious views of the founders.
In the autumn of 1866, Johannes Dreher, Abram Dück and Friedrich Tietz from the Molotschna came to the Caucasus in search of a suitable place for settlement. In the valley of the river Kuma they found an uninhabited piece of land of about 10,000 desyatinas belonging to the Georgian Prince Orbeliani.
In 1868, the representatives of several German colonies travelled to Tiflis, then part of the Russian Empire, to visit the Price Orbeliani: brothers Fickel and Härter from Bessarabia, Abram Dück, Johann Schmidt, Johannes Lange from the Molotschna, Johann Gutwin and Paul Tietz from Igren by Ekaterinoslav. The Prince allowed them to rent his land by the river Kuma for 30 years, at 25 kopeks per desyatina. The colonies Tempelhof and Orbelyanovka were founded on this land in 1868. About 20 families who came from the Gnadenfeld district of the Molotschna Colony and from Ekaterinoslav settled in Tempelhof.
When the rental agreement had expired, the residents of both colonies moved about 200 km to the east, on the land of about 4500 desyatinas given by the Crown. There the former inhabitants of Orbelyanovka founded the village Romanovka and the former inhabitants of Tempelhof - the village Olgino.
Notable residents
Philipp Dreher (1839–1874) - teacher and one of the founders of the village
Georgy Gogol-Yanovsky (1868–1931) - botanist and winemaker
Maria Sergiyenko (1910–1995) - collective farm worker, a Hero of Socialist Labor

Angela Coco is an Australian sociologist and academic whose primary research interests have been in the area of the sociology of religion, new religious movements, Catholicism, and Paganism.
Education
Angela Coco completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in 1991 at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia. Her Honours thesis, Women and the Australian Church: Project or Proclamation? provides the only record of the early history of the Christian feminist group, Women and the Australian Church (WATAC).
Coco went on to complete a Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in 1998, also at the University of Queensland, in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. Her PhD thesis was titled Catholics’ meaning-making in critical situations, and this research provided a foundation for the later publication, Catholics, conflicts and choices an exploration of power relations in the Catholic Church.
Career
Coco was a Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts and Social Sciences at Southern Cross University in Lismore, NSW from 2004 to 2018.
Her research and publication history has focused on the areas of Catholics experiences of conflict with the church, the Catholic social movement called 'Women and the Australian Church', Pagan organising and communicating in online/offline spaces, and Universal Medicine (New Religious Movement)
Coco was a member of the executive that established the Women Scholars of Religion and Theology association. She was also on the editorial collective for the official peer-reviewed journal of the association Seachanges.
Coco's book Catholics, conflicts and choices an exploration of power relations in the Catholic Church was published in Routledge's Gender, Theology and Spirituality series. One reviewer stated that Coco's "…analysis is an important contribution to feminist scholarship documenting the complicated, differentiated realities of individuals’ everyday/everynight experiences. As such, her findings may help readers appreciate why religious institutions face decline if their institutional narratives, including their social doctrines and pastoral guidelines, pay little attention to lived experiences."
Following the publication of the book Coco was interviewed by John Cleary on ABC Radio National to discuss some of the wider issues behind the clergy sex abuse crisis.
In 2016, the Women’s Caucus of the Australian Association for the Study of Religion invited Coco to give the Penny Magee Memorial Lecture and she spoke on Touching taboos: sex, gender and Universal Medicine
In 2020, Coco was interviewed by Catherine Wessinger, co-general editor of the journal Nova Religio about Coco's article, The Way of the Livingness and Universal Medicine.

Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete (Newspaper for Ladies in Ottoman Turkish) was an Ottoman women's magazine which was published in Istanbul from 1895 to 1908 which was one of the long-term publications in the Ottoman Empire. It was one of the periodicals which shaped the literary traditions of the Ottoman women.

Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete was the sole Ottoman women's magazine which had an editorial board which included Makbule Leman, Nigar Osman Hanım, Fatma Şadiye, Mustafa Asım, Faik Ali, Talat Ali and Gülistan İsmet. Each of them also served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine. The administration of the magazine was assumed by Fatma Şadiye, wife of Mehmet Tahir, later.
Its target audience was Muslim women from the upper classes. The magazine covered a range of topics, including education, family, household management, child-rearing, hygiene, health, beauty, embroidery, leisure and fashion. It also featured articles about the women's rights. The magazine was a supporter of Sultan Abdulhamit. Major contributors was the sisters, Fatma Aliye and Emine Semiye. The magazine produced several supplements such as Hanım Kızlara Mahsus targeting female youth and Hanımlara Mahsus Kütüphane, a literary supplement. It contributed to the charity organizations designed to assist women through the donations from its sales. The last issue of Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete appeared on 13 August 1908 which produced 624 issues during its lifetime.

Abu Tahir Ibrahim ibn Nasir al-Dawla was a Hamdanid prince, who along with his brother al-Husayn was the last Hamdanid ruler of Mosul in 989–990. After his defeat at the hand of the Marwanid Kurds, he was killed by the Uqaylid leader Muhammad ibn al-Musayyab, who usurped rule over Mosul for his family.
Life
Ibrahim was a younger son of the founder of the Hamdanid emirate of Mosul, Nasir al-Dawla (). Nasir al-Dawla was succeeded by his son Abu Taghlib, who had to confront an uprising by his half-brother Hamdan. Ibrahim apparently sided with Hamdan, for when the latter was defeated in 971 and fled to the Buyid court in Baghdad, Ibrahim joined him. Abu Taghlib's rivalry with the Buyids eventually led to the capture of Mosul by the Buyid Adud al-Dawla in 978, which forced Abu Taghlib to flee to Syria. Ibrahim, however, along with his brother al-Husayn, apparently submitted to the Buyids and entered their service, or were possibly kept as hostages in Baghdad.
During the 980s, Mosul was threatened by the Kurdish chieftain Badh ibn Dustak. Left without support from Baghdad, the local Buyid governor turned to the local Arab tribes of the Banu Uqayl and the Banu Numayr for assistance. This threatened Buyid control of the area as much as the Kurds, and in 989, the new Buyid emir, Baha al-Dawla, allowed the Hamdanid brothers to return to Mosul, in the hope that their local ties would mobilize opposition against Badh, and keep the Arab tribes reined in.
The Hamdanids were indeed received with enthusiasm by the local population, to such a degree that they rose in revolt and expelled the Buyid governor from Mosul. The Uqayl backed the Hamdanids, and received control of the towns of Jazirat ibn Umar, Nisibis, and Balad (north of Mosul), in exchange. Exploiting the turmoil, Badh attacked Mosul in the next year, but was defeated and killed by the numerically inferior Uqayl forces in battle near Balad. A Hamdanid counter-offensive followed in the region of Amida against Badh's successor, Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn Marwan, but failed to score any success. Indeed, al-Husayn was taken prisoner during the campaign, only to be released and seek refuge in the Fatimid Caliphate. Ibrahim fled with his son Ali to Uqaylid-held Nisibis, where Muhammad took them prisoner and killed them, usurping rule over Mosul and founding the Uqaylid dynasty.

Epipremnum papuanum is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Epipremnum, and the family Araceae. It exhibits liana growth style.
Distribution
It is native to the isle of New Guinea.
Description

The Kalashnikov SR-1 is a semi-automatic rifle designed and manufactured by the Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash). It is based on the AK-107 assault rifle.
History
In 2012, Kalashnikov decided to develop a variant of the AK-107 for the civilian market. Earlier civilian offshoots of the Kalashnikov family of weapons were marketed under the Saiga brand, and so the project was initially named Saiga MK-107. This Saiga MK-107 was caliber 5.45×39mm. In 2018, serial production of the final version SR-1 in 5.56×45mm NATO caliber began, which went on sale in May of that year.
Design and operation
The SR-1 is a gas-operated, rotary-bolt style rifle. It is basically based on the Kalashnikov bolt system with two locking lugs, but has two counter-rotating gas pistons, one on top of the other. The barrel is free-floating and is surrounded by the fore-end, which is only attached to the receiver.
Like the AK-107, the SR-1 is equipped with a counterweight that compensates for the receding bolt mass and thereby absorbs a large part of the recoil, which means that the weapon is better on target on the second shot. The system goes back to experimental weapons from the 1970s (AO-38, AL-4 and AL-7). The gas piston and bolt carrier on the one hand and the counterweight with the second gas piston on the other are equipped with longitudinal teeth similar to a rack and are connected to one another with two gears (AK-107/108: one gear). When the projectile leaves the barrel, the powder gases act on both gas pistons, that of the bolt carrier is pushed backwards and that of the counterweight forwards. The gears synchronize the movement of both parts.
The weapon is fully ambidextrous. For this purpose, it has a pin safety above the trigger guard and a cocking lever on the left and right side, which, as is usual with Kalashnikovs, are firmly connected to the bolt carrier. Both gas pistons have their own return spring. The SR-1 has a magazine well designed for AR-15 standard magazines and a slide catch. The magazine release button is located on the left side of the receiver.
An AR-15-typical, length-adjustable shoulder rest serves as the shoulder rest. The breech cover is designed to be stiffer than that of a Kalashnikov and carries the Picatinny rail. It is fixed at the end of the receiver with a bolt. This ensures that when the weapon is partially dismantled, the sighting device is not misaligned.

CJSC «Donskoy Tabak» (also known as «Don Tobacco») is a Russian cigarette and tobacco manufacturing company, located in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. It is a part of the Japan Tobacco — a cigarette manufacturing international company. As of 2018, Donskoy Tabak was Russia's fourth-largest cigarette manufacturer.
History
Donskoy Tabak is the successor company to a tobacco factory first established by a Russian entrepreneur in 1857 In Rostov-on-Don. In the 1870s, Asmolov's cigarettes won international recognition at Vienna World's Fair, Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and Paris World's Fair. As a result, Asmolov's tobacco factory became the "Supplier of His Imperial Majesty's Court" for the Russian Emperor.
After the Revolution of 1917, the factory was nationalised and renamed into Don State Tobacco Factory (DSTF).
In 1992, after the fall of the USSR, the DSTF was privatised by a Ivan Savvidis, who had been working at the factory since the 1980s. Savvidis changed the factory's name into «Donskoy Tabak». By 1992, he had acquired 75,71% of the company's shares abd became its general director, holding this position up to 2003. It was reported in the first half of 2018 that Savvidis and his wife owned 100% of the company's shares.
In 2005, Donskoy Tabak started to export cigarettes to Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Moldova. By 2013, the company annually exported up to 20% of its total goods. In 2014–2015, Donskoy Tabak reported the decrease in sales, linking the fall in revenues to the Ukraine crisis and the newly introduced state's . A year later, the company announced an increase in export growth due to the unfolding tobacco crisis in Russia.
In March 2018, an international tobacco company Japan Tobacco confirmed that it would buy Donskoy Tabak for around $1.6 billion. The deal was finalized the same year in July. Since August 2018, Japan Tobacco has the absolute majority interest of the company's shares.
In August 2021, Japan Tobacco announced plans to merge Donskoy Tabak with the JTI Russia branch.
Sponsorship
Donskoy Tabak supports cultural events and urban beautifications in various districts of Rostov-on-Don. In the early 2000s, the company leased October Revolution Park for 49 years. The following years, Donskoy Tabak sponsored large-scale works on the park's expansion, resulting in the opening of an amusement park in 2002. In 2010, the company offered the historical building of Asmolov's Factory to the to use for exhibitions.
Controversies
In 2010, Donskoy Tabak was publicly criticised due to its aggressive marketing policy, seemingly aiming to reach out to underaged female customers. The company was accused of encouraging smoking among minors and had to withdraw the advertisements.
