York Institute of Art, Science and Literature is a Grade II listed building at 12 Clifford Street, York.
History and architecture
The foundation stone for the building was laid by the Prince of Wales on 18 July 1883 in a ceremony of masonic ritual. The architect was Walter Green Penty.
The building was opened by the Marquis of Lorne on 10 June 1885. It was described as having a Romanseque arch as the entrance, supported by columns with carved capitals; surrounding the walls is a parapet crowned with ornamental terminals; and in the centre of the building a tower rises to a height of . The principal frontage is on Clifford Street. The basement contained a gymnasium and two small class rooms. The main floor contained a hall with a capacity of 500 people, and a lecture theatre, class room, two reading rooms, a council room and offices. The first floor contained three more class rooms.
Later in life the building was taken over and used as York Technical College.

During the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China the flag bearers of 91 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) arrived into Beijing National Stadium on February 20th. The flag bearers from each participating country entered the stadium informally in single file, and behind them marched all the athletes. The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony.
Parade order
Athletes entered the stadium in an order dictated by the Olympic tradition. As the originator of the Olympics, the Greek flag bearer entered first. The country that will host the next Winter Olympics, Italy, marched before the host nation China entered, instead of entering between New Zealand and Serbia, according to the Chinese collation order.
Countries marched in order of the Chinese language. The collation method used was based on the names as written in Simplified Chinese characters and is similar to that used in Chinese dictionaries. The names were sorted by the number of strokes in the first character of the name, then by the stroke order of the character (in the order 橫竖撇捺折, c.f. Wubi method), then the number of strokes and stroke order of the second character, then next character and so on. For example, this placed San Marino () in 28th position, just ahead of Kyrgyzstan () because the initial character for "San Marino" () is written in 5 strokes, while that for "Kyrgyzstan" () is written in 6 strokes.
List
The following is a list of each country's flag bearer. The list is sorted by the sequence that each nation appeared in the Ceremony. The names are given in their official designations by the IOC, and the Chinese names follow their official designations by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The Stromboli class was a group of two vessels designed by Sir William Symonds the Surveyor of the Navy. The design was approved on 29 August 1838. The vessels were of the design but were altered to the new draught derived from the . The ships were initially classified as Steam Vessels Second Class (SV2) and were later classified as First Class sloops. The ships would be built in two Royal Dockyards (Portsmouth and Sheerness). Both ships were at the bombardment of Acre in 1840. Both were in the Black and Azov seas during the Russian War. They served on various stations of the Empire. Vesuvius was sold in 1865 and Stromboli in 1866. Both were broken by White at East Cowes on the Ilse of Wight.
Stromboli was the only named vessel in the Royal Navy.
Vesuvius was the eleventh named vessel (spelt Vesuvius or Vesuve) since it was used for a 8-gun fireship, launched by Taylor of Cuckold's Point on 30 March 1691 and expended on 19 November 1693 at Saint-Malo.
Design and specifications
Both vessels were ordered 12 March 1838 and laid down in September at Portsmouth and Sheerness. The vessels were launched in July (Vesuvius) and August (Stromboli) 1839. The gundeck was with the keel length of reported for tonnage. The maximum beam was with reported for tonnage. The depth of hold was . The light draught forward was and aft. The builder's measure was calculated at 965 79/94 tons whereas the vessels displaced 1,283 tons.
Robert Napier & Sons of Govan supplied the machinery for both vessels. They were equipped with two fire-tube rectangular boilers. The engines were 2-cylinder vertical single expansion (VSE) side-lever steam engines rated at 280 nominal horsepower (NHP). This gave the ships a speed under power of about . Pictures show Vesuvius with a barque rig.
All four ships were initially armed with two 10-inch 84 hundredweight (cwt) shell Millar's original guns on pivot mounts and two 68-pounder 64 cwt muzzle loading smooth bore (MLSB) carronades and two 42-pounder (22 cwt) MLSB carronades on broadside trucks. In 1856 the 10-inch guns were replaced with a Dundas 1853 68-pounder 84 cwt MLSB gun and the carronades were replaced with four 32-pounder 42 cwt MLSB guns on broadside trucks. In the 1860s the 68-pounder was replaced with an Armstrong 7-inch rifled breech loader (RBL) gun. This weapon is also known as the 100/110-pounder gun depending on the weight of shell fired. They had a complement of approximately 149 men and grew to 160 men with the change in armament.
Initial cost of vessels
Stromboli: Total Cost £41,240 (Hull - £19,248; Machinery - £13,280; Fitting - £8,712)
Vesuvius: Total Cost £39,505 (Hull - £21,707; Machinery - £13,309; Fitting - £4,389)

Downfall: The Case Against Boeing is a 2022 American documentary film directed by Rory Kennedy. Interviewing relevant people and featuring archival footage, the film looks into the events throughout the history of the aircraft manufacturer company Boeing that led to the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, both involving the Boeing 737 MAX and occurring within a short time span, as well as its subsequent investigation. The film sides with interviewees in criticizing the capitalization of Boeing, noting that the urge to beat major competitor Airbus led to the neglect of component failures within the 737 MAX.
Downfall premiered in a virtual screening at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2022, before being released on Netflix on February 18 as a Netflix Original Documentary. The film received wide critical acclaim for its comprehensiveness, narrative structure, and emotions, mostly aimed towards Kennedy and editor Don Kleszy. It also renewed public attention on the 737 MAX case, causing further criticism of Boeing, who had initially declined to participate in filming and rebuked the film after its release.
Summary
Its story examines the 2019 Boeing 737 MAX incidents, where two airliners crashed killing a combined 346 people and how Boeing may have been more concerned with financial gain over the safety of their passengers.
Kennedy said about the 21st-century history of Boeing:
"There were many decades when Boeing did extraordinary things by focusing on excellence and safety and ingenuity. Those three virtues were seen as the key to profit. It could work, and beautifully. And then they were taken over by a group that decided Wall Street was the end-all, be-all. There needs to be a balance in play, so you have to elect representatives that hold the companies responsible for the public interest, rather than just lining their own pocketbooks."
Release and reception
The film was released on February 18, 2022 and has an 89% approval rating based on 19 votes on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

What It Is? Ed Blackwell Project Vol. 1 is a live album by drummer Ed Blackwell. It was recorded in August 1992 at Yoshi's in Oakland, California, and was released by Enja Records in 1993. On the album, Blackwell is joined by saxophonist and flutist Carlos Ward, cornetist Graham Haynes, and bassist Mark Helias. The album, which is the companion to What It Be Like? Ed Blackwell Project Vol. 2, is one of Blackwell's last recordings; he died in October 1992.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos wrote: "Despite his failing health, Blackwell's skills on his drum kit were razor-sharp when he got on the bandstand for this headliner's gig... just two months before he passed away. Everything clicks -- the band is tight, powered by the supple bass of Mark Helias, while saxophonist/flutist Carlos Ward and trumpeter Graham Haynes play inspired, almost possessed improvs and written lines... this particular volume is his best work as a leader, and a great example of where modern jazz in the '90s landed. A must-buy for all."
Writing for Modern Drummer magazine, Mark Griffith commented: "Ed Blackwell Projects Volumes 1 and 2 are amazing examples of Ed's chanting and rolling style of drumming. But these last recordings are as much life lessons as drum lessons. At the end of his life Ed was very ill. His kidneys were in complete failure. Simple things like moving around were often a real chore — let alone playing the drums. Still, he traveled across the country to make a gig in San Francisco, where he made these two records. On each track, his drumming snaps and crackles with youth and excitement. There is absolutely no indication that he was less than two months away from the end."

What It Be Like? Ed Blackwell Project Vol. 2 is a live album by drummer Ed Blackwell. It was recorded in August 1992 at Yoshi's in Oakland, California, and was released by Enja Records in 1994. On the album, Blackwell is joined by saxophonist and flutist Carlos Ward, cornetist Graham Haynes, and bassist Mark Helias. The album, which is the companion to What It Is? Ed Blackwell Project Vol. 1, is one of Blackwell's last recordings; he died in October 1992.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, the editors wrote that Blackwell's "distinctive approach to timekeeping, which highlights tribal rhythms and New Orleans marching band cadences, is on excellent display on What It Be Like?... 'Nebula,' the opener, features a tumbling horn melody with Blackwell providing almost martial accents on the snare, and is an excellent example of his style... The compositional palette on What It Be Like? is broad, with tones, textures, and atmospheres shifting throughout the track list. In 'Pentahouve,' exuberance prevails with a fragmented Latin shuffle providing the context for a dazzling rhythmic dialogue between Blackwell and flautist Carlos Ward. On the album's closer and set piece... Don Cherry joins the ensemble for an evocative exploration of fractured melodies and snake-charmer motifs over a repeated rhythmic pattern. After each band member has soloed, Blackwell's strictly metered flourishes over the snare and tom-toms close out the tune, which in turn closes out this fine set of vital, adventurous jazz."
Writing for Modern Drummer magazine, Mark Griffith commented: "Ed Blackwell Projects Volumes 1 and 2 are amazing examples of Ed's chanting and rolling style of drumming. But these last recordings are as much life lessons as drum lessons. At the end of his life Ed was very ill. His kidneys were in complete failure. Simple things like moving around were often a real chore — let alone playing the drums. Still, he traveled across the country to make a gig in San Francisco, where he made these two records. On each track, his drumming snaps and crackles with youth and excitement. There is absolutely no indication that he was less than two months away from the end."

is a Japanese artistic gymnast. Born in Shizuoka, Japan, he started gymnastics at the age of 4, and has gradually become one of the top & most promising competitors in Japan. Miwa's all-around score of 86.598 at the 2021 All Japan qualification made him the 11th highest scorers of the year.
Early life and career
Miwa was born in Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture and began gymnastics at the age of 4 at the Shimizu Pegasus Gymnastics Club. After elementary, he attended Jonan Shizuoka Junior High School in his hometown and achieved bronze medal in pommel horse & 4th place in team at the 2015 national junior high championships. At the age of 15, he moved to Osaka to join Seifu High School and practice with one of the strongest gymnastics club for senior high students.
Senior career
2021
Miwa participated the 2021 All Japan all-around championships & ranked 2nd at qualification round. He was the only gymnast that qualified for all apparatus championships, except for vault. At the all-around final, he only ranked 6th in 2nd round and got the 4th place in total.
At the 2021 NHK Trophy, Miwa achieved the 2nd highest score of 86.498, but was still in 4th place since the eventual result was the combination with the all-around championships. In June, he participated in 5 apparatus championships, but did not qualify for any final. Due to those poor performances, Miwa wasn't selected to join the national team competing at the 2020 Summer Olympics. These spots were eventually given to Daiki Hashimoto, Wataru Tanigawa, Kazuma Kaya & Takeru Kitazono in team, along with specialists Kohei Uchimura & Kohei Kameyama.
Miwa was the member of Juntendo University team that won the 2021 All Japan Student Championships. He ranked 1st in vault, 5th in rings & 7th in pommel horse. However, mistakes from his performances in floor, parallel bars & horizontal dragged him to 6th place in total, despite being one of the strongest competitors. Miwa also failed to attend 2021 World Championships, as the Japan Gymnastics Association wanted to give the chances to apparatus specialists. His last competition in 2021 was the All Japan Team Championships, where he won the title with Juntendo University.

Henriette Walter (b. Henriette Saada, 5 March 1929 in Sfax, Tunisia) is a French linguist, emeritus professor of French at the University of Rennes 2, and director of the Phonology Laboratory at the École pratique des hautes études at the Sorbonne. She is known for both her specialized academic work and her popular linguistics publications.
Biography
Henriette Saada was born in Tunisia to a French mother and an Italian father. She learned to handle multiple languages at an early age: at home she spoke Italian, at school she spoke French, and in the streets she heard Arabic and Maltese spoken. A sufferer of serious myopia, she responded by training her hearing. She is quoted as saying: "As a little girl, I liked the idea that an object could have multiple names, that emotions could be expressed in different ways." She was able to convince her parents to let her go to study English at the Sorbonne, where she performed brilliantly in the International Phonetic Association examination.
She married Gérard Walter, who worked with her on multiple publications and with whom she had two children, Isabelle and Éric.
A decisive event in her life was meeting the linguist André Martinet. She became his closest collaborator and organized a workshop at the École pratique des hautes études from 1966 onwards.
Research and popularization
Henriette Walter is known for her work in phonology. She is a fluent speaker of six languages and has worked with dozens of others.

Roberto Repole (born 29 January 1967) is an Italian theologian and priest of the Catholic Church who has been appointed archbishop of Turin and bishop of Susa. A native of Turin and a priest of that archdiocese since 1992, he taught theology at the university level from 1996 to 2022 and headed the Italian Theological Association from 2011 to 2016.
Biography
Roberto Repole was born in the Givoletto district of Turin on 29 January 1967. His father was a municipal councilor in Druento. Both his parents were originally from Rapone in southern Italy. He completed his studies at the in Turin in 1986 and then obtained his bachelor's degree in theology from the Faculty of Turin in 1992. He earned his licentiate (1998) and doctorate (2001) in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
He was ordained a priest on 13 June 1992 by Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini. He then served as parish vicar from 1992 to 1996, lecturer in systematic theology at the Theological Faculty of Turin and the Higher Institute of Religious Sciences in Turin from 1996 to 2022, canon of the Royal Church of Saint Lawrence from 2010 to 2022, president of the Italian Theological Association from 2011 to 2016, and rector of the Turin section of the Theological Faculty of Northern Italy from 2016 to 2022. He was also a member of the administrative board of the Holy See Agency for the Evaluation and Promotion of Quality in Ecclesiastical Universities and Faculties (AVEPRO) from 2016 to 2022.
His roles on behalf of the archdiocese of Turin have included: coordinator of university pastoral care and a member for five years of the Diocesan Ecumenical Commission. Until 2022 he worked with the Santa Maria della Stella parish in Druento, was the diocesan ecclesiastical assistant of the Ecclesial Movement for Cultural Commitment (MEIC), and a member of the priests council.
To mark the fifth anniversary of Francis' pontificate, Repole served as editor of La Teologia di Papa Francesco, an 11-volume series of analyses by theologians. Pope emeritus Benedict XVI expressed surprise at the inclusion of theologian , who, according to Benedict, had viciously attacked his teaching authority as pope.
He has written extensively on church organization, synodality, and the priesthood. Of the theologian's role he once wrote: "Theology cannot afford the luxury of cryptic language. And to do this he has two paths to follow: always be of service to the concrete people of God and to their living faith and maintain a lively dialogue with the culture of the contemporary world." With Serena Noceti, he has edited a nine-volume series of commentaries on the principal documents of the Second Vatican Council, Commentario ai documenti del Vaticano II.
On 19 February 2022, Pope Francis appointed Repole both archbishop of Turin and bishop of Susa. The appointment was a surprise in that his name had not been mentioned in press speculation about candidates for the Turin post, and it was unusual in that someone named to head an archdiocese is almost always already a bishop. He is the first native of Turin to be named archbishop there since the appointment of Agostino Richelmy in 1897 and the first graduate of the Turin Faculty of Theology named archbishop. His consecration as bishop and his installation in Turin is scheduled for 7 May, with his installation in Susa to follow on 8 May.

De Olde Molen is a windmill in Palm Beach, Aruba. It was originally built in 1815 as a windpump in , Groningen, Netherlands. In 1897, it was moved to Wedderveer, Groningen where it served as a gristmill. In 1960, it was bought by Theo Paalman and G.J. Woudenberg, two Aruban businessmen, disassembled and rebuilt in Aruba. The windmill is home to a restaurant and a windmill museum. It is located next to the Bubali Bird Sanctuary.
History
In 1804 a mill was constructed as a windpump in . The mill burnt down in 1814, and was rebuilt in 1815. In 1883, it was sold, and was relocated to Wedderveer, Groningen. In 1897, the windmill was rebuilt and functioned as a gristmill. During the Wedderveer period, the mill was also known as Molen van Snelter and Molen van Jonker. It remained in operation until 1939, and on 2 October 1958, the demolition was approved.
Theo Paalman and G.J. Woudenberg, two Aruban businessmen, bought the mill in 1960, and planned to move it to Aruba as a tourist landmark. De Olde Molen was carefully disassembled, and prepared for shipment in pieces except for the blades which remained in one piece. The stone base was demolished, and a new base was constructed in Aruba for the restaurant.
In March 1961, the first stone was placed by Lieutenant Governor E.J.C. Beaujon. The rebuilding was supervised by Jan Medendorp, a Dutch windmill builder, who had been responsible for disassembling the windmill. To prevent damage by the strong trade winds on Aruba, the sails were fixed into place. In March 1962, construction was complete and the restaurant and mill museum opened.
In 1973, De Olde Molen was sold to Joseph Patterson who restored the windmill, and decorated the restaurant with furniture and paintings dating between 880 and 1800. Medendorp returned to Aruba in 2001, and was disappointed, because the sails had been attached the wrong way, because the wheel should turn anticlockwise.

A contributor network (or contributor platform) is an arrangement in which an online publication releases articles authored by freelance writers, known as contributors, who are not part of its staff. Depending on the program, contributors may be paid or unpaid; paid contributors are typically compensated based on the volume of articles they produce or the amount of web traffic their articles generate.
Online publications use contributor networks to inexpensively expand their content selection. Because contributors are freelancers, publications can increase or decrease the number of contributors in their networks more easily than they can hire or fire employees. Some publications that use the contributor model exercise limited editorial oversight. For example, online articles written by Forbes contributors are not reviewed by editors prior to publication.
Contributor networks are vulnerable to conflicts of interest. Public relations agents and marketing companies have advertised their clients by submitting promotional articles to the contributor networks of Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Forbes, HuffPost, Inc., Insider, and Mashable.

Oscar Massin (1829–1913) was a Belgian-born French jeweller known as “The Diamond Reformer”.. - created some of the 19th century’s most influential and innovative fine jewelry, radically redefining a new era for the industry at large. While Massin remains one of the least-known Parisian jewelers , he produced some of the most significant works of his time, many for European royalty. Massin is celebrated for his patented diamond lacework technique, which uses filigree to create the illusion of woven metal. Massin is also credited with creating the first “illusory” setting , designed to emphasize the size of the diamond by minimizing the metal around it.
Early life
Born in Liège, Belgium in 1829 , Oscar Massin was trained as a jeweler from the age of 11 and educated at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1851, he moved to Paris, then in a golden age of haute joaillerie, where Théodore Fester took him on as a bench jeweler for the next three years. To supplement his income, Massin also sketched his own jewelry designs, which caught the attention of goldsmith Léon Rouvenat, who hired Massin as his Chef d’Atelier. Massin went on to work for Viette—a renowned workshop of manufacturing jewelers—who had been commissioned to design a tiara for Empress Eugènie of France. He continued to create bespoke pieces for royalty around the world.
Massin was as much a teacher as an artist, generously opening the door for his students and all those who followed, by sharing his original techniques and purposeful design approach. Massin considered progress a more noble cause than personal gain, never using his patents against copyists; he exhibited unfinished or deconstructed jewels solely for teaching purposes. And, in response to low payment in the trade, he set a new precedent for better living standards for all craftsmen, exhibiting his remarkable generosity of time, ideas, and support for both his community and a new generation of future artists and designers.
Career
Oscar Massin was a master draftsman and innovative designer, deeply committed to the integrity and elevation of his craft. He took pride in his capacity to work a piece of jewelry from its initial design through completion. He studied the structure and engineering of diamond settings in the service of naturalism—resulting in extraordinary pieces that celebrate light and organic growth.
In the early-to-mid 1860s, Massin began to explore new, naturalistic models featuring floral and foliate motifs with delicate, nearly invisible mounting; Massin dedicated significant time to the study of flowers, botanicals and even insects within their natural worlds in order to fully understand the intricacies of their composition, resulting in original, imaginative design.
Before opening up his own jewelry studio in 1863, Massin worked as a designer and goldsmith for many well known jewelers in Paris, including the famous Lemonnier.
In 1867, Massin exhibited at the International Exposition of 1867 () for the first time under his own name. His centerpiece: a tiara designed with a diamond, ruby and emerald bandeau finished with a diamond-set feather and gem-set chains.
Massin continued to exhibit, and at the Exposition Universelle (1878), was awarded both a Grand Prix and the Legion of Honour. Among his exquisite creations: a three-dimensional rose pavé-set with diamonds, as well as a diamond-set belt and a tiara pairing with diamond briolettes.
For more than two decades Massin continued to design and create for the most important jewelers of his time, including Baugrand, Fontana, Sandoz and Rouvenat, Boucheron, Mellerio, Chaumet and Tiffany. Massin retired in 1891, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and carving a path forward for those who followed.
Massin died in his Parisian apartment on February, 13th 1913.

Polly Strong (circa 1796–unknown) was an enslaved woman in the Northwest Territory, in present-day Indiana. She was born after the Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery. Slavery was prohibited by the Constitution of Indiana in 1816. Two years later, Strong's mother Jenny and attorney Moses Tabbs asked for a writ of habeas corpus for Polly and her brother James in 1818. Judge Thomas H. Blake produced indentures, Polly for 12 more years and James for four more years of servitude. The case was dismissed in 1819.
In 1819, attorneys John W. Osborn and Amory Kinney, sought to test the legality of slave arrangements made prior to 1816. They sued for Strong's freedom at the Knox County Circuit Court in Polly v. Lasselle in 1820, but the court ruled that she was to remain enslaved. The case was appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court in State v. Lasselle. Based upon the 1816 Constitution of Indiana, the justices ruled that "slavery can have no existence" in Indiana. Strong was freed. Other enslaved people were not automatically freed, but there was a precedent that others could use in the courts. In 1821, the Mary Clark v. G.W. Johnston case was tried in the Indiana Supreme Court, which ruled that indentured servitude was no longer legal in Indiana. The number of enslaved people reduced over the next couple of decades. There were three slaves in the state in both the 1830 and 1840 censuses.
Background
By 1746, African and Native American enslaved people were owned by Catholic priests and French traders, and the practice continued during the period when Great Britain controlled the area that is Indiana. The frontier north and west of the Ohio River became the Northwest Territory in 1787. Article VI of the Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude. Many slaveholders took this to mean that the ordinance excluded people who already owned slaves.
In 1800, the Indiana Territory was formed. Many slaveholders immigrated to the territory bringing their slaves with them. The territory passed legislation that allowed for the slaves to be indentured within the territory. This law allowed slaveholders to continue in their ownership of slaves that were purchased outside of the state, even if the slaves came to reside in Indiana.
Slavery and involuntary servitude were prohibited by the 1816 Indiana Constitution. This ban brought the previous laws that had permitted slavery into conflict, and the issues of whether preexisting slave arrangements were still legal was brought before the courts on several occasions. Each time the circuit courts had denied or approved the freedom of the slaves on an individual basis. Black people continued to remain enslaved or indentured servants after 1816. There were 190 slaves in Indiana in 1820, 118 of them in Knox County, Indiana.
In his article “Almost a Free State", historian Paul Finkelman enumerated three ways for enslaved people in Indiana to become free. They could runaway, they could hire attorneys to file freedom suits in the court, or their owners could decide to give them their freedom.
Early life
Around 1796, Polly Strong was born in the Northwest Territory to an enslaved woman, Jenny, who was owned by Antoine Lasselle who lived near Fort Wayne. Her father was someone with the surname of Strong. Prior to Strong's birth, Jenny, had been kidnapped by Native Americans. She was sold to Antoine Lasselle after the Treaty of Greenville (1795). Strong's brother, James, was born around 1800. They were separated when Strong was sold to Joseph Barron. James was later sold to someone with the surname of LaPlante. At around the age of ten, Strong was purchased by Hyacinthe Lasselle, an innkeeper and trader from Vincennes, in what was then Indiana Territory (1800–1816). Lasselle later purchased James.
Strong was baptized on April 11, 1819, with the name Marguerite at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Vincennes. At the time, she was identified as a mixed-race woman. She may not have been treated well by Lasselle. Strong was described as pretty with a "bright disposition" and "pleasing manners".
Strong and her brother were threatened by Lasselle and imprisoned after the writ of habeas corpus was filed. She sought asylum and was taken in by Joseph Huffman, an African American barber, on January 9, 1820. A grand jury indicted Huffman for "harboring a servant girl" on February 10. Huffman paid for a $200 () appeal bond for her release from Lasselle.
The Lasselles
The Lassalles were among the oldest family of immigrants in the state and had been in the region since France had owned it in the 18th century. Hyacinthe Lasselle settled in Vincennes in 1804, where he was appointed to legislative and civic positions. He operated an inn, a bar, and a distillery and fought during the War of 1812. Vincennes had been an early outpost for the French, who bought slaves to tend to their "creature comforts". Lasselle purchased his slaves from Native Americans, and when the state constitution was enacted, he made a show of freeing his slaves, but they were not really freed.
Court cases
Writ of habeas corpus
Although slavery was prohibited by the Indiana Constitution of 1816, Strong remained enslaved. Moses Tabbs, an attorney who worked with her mother Jenny, asked the Knox County Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus for Jenny, Strong (22) and her brother James (15) on July 15, 1818. Lasselle was forced to court to show why Jenny's two children should remain enslaved. On August 4, 1818, Judge Thomas H. Blake met in his chambers with Laselle, Strong, and James. He produced indentures, Strong for 12 more years and James for four more years of servitude. Before a local justice of the peace, Strong and James acknowledged that their indentures to Lasselle were voluntary. During this time, Strong and James were threatened by Lasselle and imprisoned when the indentures were signed. The case of James and Polly vs. Laselle was dismissed without prejudice in May 1819. James no longer appeared in habeas corpus cases after that.
Polly v. Lasselle
In 1819, two abolitionists, John W. Osborn and Amory Kinney, sought the aid of a Vincennes law office to test the legality of slave arrangements made prior to 1816. The two were Canadians who had immigrated to Indiana after the War of 1812. They believed that the constitutional ban on slavery extended to all slaves, including those held before 1816. The lawyers at the office, Colonel George McDonald and Moses Tabbs, also members of the anti-slavery party, began to prepare a test case to bring before the courts. Strong had been purchased before the Northwest Territory had been established, and if she could be freed then a precedent would be set whereby all other slaves in the state could also be set free. Her case had been combined with a similarly situated enslaved man, Francis Jackson, who was owned by Francoise Tisdale.
On January 27, 1820, attorney Amory Kinney filed a freedom suit on her behalf with the Knox County Circuit Court. Lassalle's defense attorney was Judge Jacob Call, a future Congressman.
The circuit court in Vincennes ruled that Strong should remain a slave in part because Polly's mother was a slave before the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was passed, so they found that her mother remained a slave. Slaveholders in slave states automatically owned any of their enslaved women's children under partus sequitur ventrem and the judges ruled that doctrine should apply to this case as well.
State v. Lasselle
The appeal was filed by Kinney to the Indiana Supreme Court in Corydon, Indiana on May 12, 1820. Representing Strong were Amory Kinney, Col. George McDonald, and Moses Tabbs. John W. Osborn, Kinney's law partner, was also involved in the case. In June 1820, the case was appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court. Chief Justice Isaac Blackford was the son-in-law of McDonald, one of the plaintiff's lawyers. The plaintiff's lawyers argued that the constitution superseded all other laws, including one written prior to the constitution's adoption, and that the Northwest Ordinance ceased to apply to Indiana after statehood. The defense argued that the Northwest Ordinance, a federal law, superseded the state constitution and that it could have been repealed only by the federal government but was not repealed, it was still in effect regardless of Indiana's status in the Union.
The ruling was made on July 22, 1820,
based upon the Indiana Constitution, 11th article, section 7,
Justice James Scott wrote, "It is evident that by these provisions, the framers of our constitution intended a total and entire prohibition of slavery in this State; and we can conceive of no form of words in which that intention could have been more clearly expressed." Strong was declared a free woman.
Lasselle filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of the United States on July 27, 1820. The court refused to hear the case, upholding the decision made by the Indiana Supreme Court.
Decision repercussions
The decision was a major victory for the abolitionists in the state who had organized to ban slavery only seventeen years earlier. Strong was free, but the decision did not free other enslaved people. However, it made the Indiana Constitution the authority for decisions regarding slavery and involuntary servitude in Indiana courts.
There was some anger among the slaveholding community and violence was threatened against Osborn and Kinney, but no action was taken against them. The case also led to the impeachment of the Clark County Justice of the Peace for aiding slaveholders who refused to free their slaves. Many slaveholders, not wanting to lose their valuable slaves, left the state before their slaves could be taken from them.
The 1820 US census revealed that there were 190 slaves in Indiana and 1,200 free blacks. The number of slaves dropped off dramatically and there were only three slaves in the state in both the 1830 and 1840 censuses.
In 1821, Kinney filed a suit to free an indentured servant, Mary Bateman Clark. As with Strong's case, Clark lost in the Circuit Court, but appealed the decision with the Indiana Supreme Court, where they won. This was a landmark case for indentured servants and foretold the end of bondservants in Indiana.
Later life
On March 2, 1822, Joseph Huffman sued Strong to collect money that he lent her. Strong was arrested, and bail was set and paid six days later. Strong denied the charges, but the jury found in favor of Huffman and awarded him $35 in damages.
One report is that Strong moved to St. Louis, Missouri and later traveled to Indiana where she visited members of the Lasselle family. In a June 17, 1825 letter to Lasselle, her brother James promised to deliver Strong's bureau when requested. This is the last known direct reference to Strong. In the 1830 U.S. Federal Census, there is a women of her age in residence with Lasselle. In 1833, Lasselle moved to Logansport, Indiana, where he died in 1843.

A historical marker commemorating Polly Strong is located in front of the Harrison County Courthouse and the First State Capitol building in Corydon, Indiana.

Luis Fuentes Rodríguez (born 20 December 1960) is a Spanish politician of the Citizens party. He was a member of the Cortes of Castile and León from 2015 to 2022, serving as the legislature's president from 2019.
Biography
Born in Salamanca, Fuentes graduated in Business Sciences from the University of Salamanca. A specialist in marketing, he worked for 18 years for a furniture company. He was the president of the localist Union of the Salamancan People (UPSa), which merged into the national party Citizens in 2014.
In March 2015, Fuentes secured enough signatures to be Citizens' lead candidate in the 2015 Castilian-Leonese regional election; he ran in the Valladolid constituency. His party entered the Cortes of Castile and León with five seats after taking 10.3% of the vote.
After the 2019 elections, Citizens agreed to form government with the People's Party (PP). As per this agreement, Fuentes was the two parties' candidate for President of the Cortes and was elected.
Towards the end of 2021, President of the Junta of Castile and León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, dissolved the PP's pact with Citizens and called new elections. Citizens' vote share fell and they only had one candidate elected, leader Francisco Igea, meaning that Fuentes lost his seat.

La Epoka was initiated with the subtitle Revista comerciala y literaria (Commercial and literary newspaper) and had a progressive and avant-garde stance. Its supporter was Alliance Israélite Universelle, a Jewish organization. La Epoka targeted the Sephardi Jews living in Thessaloniki and other towns who could only read Ladino materials.

Hans Nibel (31 August 1880 - 25 November 1934) was a German mechanical engineer who was employed for more than a quarter of a century in positions of increasing influence at Benz and Cie and, after the 1926 merger, its successor entity, Daimler-Benz AG. He is best remembered for his time as Technical Director, a position he took over from Ferdinand Porsche following an acrimonious falling out between the company and Dr. Porsche. Between 1929 and 1934 Nibel was responsible for a succession of new Mercedes-Benz models of which, in commercial terms, the Mercedes-Benz W15, introduced in October 1931, was probably the most important. During the savage backwash from the Great Depression the W15 was relatively affordable, enabling the manufacturer to retain a major presence in the German auto market in a way that the large expensive cars with which Mercedes-Benz had increasingly been associated during the 1920s never could have done.
Life
Provenance and early years
Johann "Hans" Nibel was born into a Catholic family at Olleschau (as Olšany was known before 1945), a small town in the wooded hills north of Olomouc/Olmütz in the northern part of Moravia. He had one brother and two sisters. At that time, and until 1918, the entire region was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Nibel's father, also called Johann Nibel (1839-1914), was a factory director, probably of a paper factory. Through his father the boy was exposed to many of the finer points of the production technologies of those times from an early age. He was evidently a studious schoolboy. A surviving certificate from his school days dated 1899 classified him as "outstanding" in respect of Mathematics, Physics and Drawing, which hints at the specialisms that would best support him in his future career. He attended the "Humanistisches Gymnasium ("secondary school") in Mährisch Schönberg, from where, having passed the necessary school final exams (Abitur), he moved on to enrol at the Technical University of Munich. Here he studied for a degree in engineering.
Benz & Cie AG
He graduated with a "Diplom-Ingenieur" engineering degree. He obtained his first professional work experience working at a succession of relatively small engineering and manufacturing businesses, Armed with an excellent set of exam results, on 1 March 1904, still aged just 24, Hans Nibel joined the Mannheim main design office of Benz & Cie AG, which was already established as one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. The first decade of the twentieth century was a period of rapid growth for the company, and in the design office Nibel's own career progressed even more rapidly. Through the development of a succession of successful racing and record breaking cars he became the recipient of various awards, and in 1908, only four years after joining the company, he was appointed to the position of "Chefkonstrukteur" ("Head of product development and design"). An early innovation under Nibel's management was the 1908 "head controlled motor", followed in 1910 by the four-valve engine. In 1911, under his leadership, the company produced a block-based engine and a dual ignition system. Although such features were initially applied on cars designed to race or break speed records, over the next couple of decades they would become increasingly mainstream across the automobile industry.
Beyond the automobile business, Nibel introduced improvements for the oil powered engine designed in Sweden by Jonas Hesselman and manufactured at the time by Benz under licence. At the other end of at least one spectrum, drawing inspiration from developments in the design of engines for racing cars, in 1909 he designed an aircraft engine, providing the impetus for the company to set up a new division to operate alongside its main automobile manufacturing business.
As far as the passenger car business was concerned, the period was characterised by two main trends in terms of broadening the range in both directions. A number of smaller models were introduced in order to increase the number of potential customers. A notable example was the 1910 launch of the four-cylinder Benz 6/14 PS. At the other end of the range, Benz continued to offer increasingly luxurious models, identified by admirers as "global ambassadors for the excellent cars from Mannheim". Then as now, for many people there was an obvious overlap in car design between luxury and speed. The name of Hans Mobel became particularly closely associated with the so-called "Blitzen Benz", which made its public debut in 1909. In April 1911 a Blitzen Benz driven by Bob Burman on the sands of Daytona Beach, averaging 228.1 kilometres per hour (141.7 mph) over a full mile. This represented a world land-speed record: it would remain unbroken till February 1919.
Like many pioneering engineers involved in the early decades of the automobile age in Europe, Nibel was also sometimes mentioned in news reports as a racing driver. However, when he did appear behind the wheel in a competitive event it was more often than not in the context not of an out an out speed trial, but of an endurance event such as the "Prince Heinrich Rally" or the "Carpathian Rally". Trophies collected by Nibel through his participation in motor sport included, in 1909, the Prize of the Crown Princess of Saxony following success, driving a Benz 20/35 PS in that year's "Prince Heinrich Rally", the "Silver Plate" for his performance in the 1912 "International Austrian Alpine Rally", and in 1914 the "Prize of the Minister for the Interior" following the "Carpathian Rally". Beyond the world of motorsport in 1912/13 Benz & Cie AG was awarded and received the prestigious (and lucrative) "Kaiserpreis" ("Emperor's Prize for the best German aircraft engine"), which was widely interpreted by colleagues and commentators as a personal achievement for Hans Nibel and his senior engineers.
Top management
Hans Nibel's succession of achievements at the design office between 1904 was reflected in a series of promotions within the company hierarchy. In December 1911 or 1913 he was appointed a company "Prokurist", a senior management role conferring a significant measure of contractual capacity on the company's behalf.
War broke out in July 1914. As head of the design office Nibel had to make drastic changes at the company's premises in Mannheim-Waldhof and Gaggenau in order to adapt production to the needs of the military and at the same time to implement a large number of new development projects. On 16 August 1917, recognising his very considerable contribution to guiding the firm through the difficult war years, contribution, the company appointed him to a deputy membership on the company board of directors. During this time he was working with the Prosper L'Orange "oil-burner engines" (better viewed, in retrospect, as early forms of diesel engines), progressing to the point at which, soon after the war ended, Benz were already able to deliver simple engines as early as 1919, using this technology, for small industrial and agricultural engines . Another important development came in 1920 when Nibel, whose woe design efforts were still largely focused on racing cars at this stage, mandated Kurt Eltze (1878–1973) to set up the company's own production facility for injection pumps and nozzles to deal with "heavy fuel oil". Together the two men played a central role in turning "Benz and Cie AG" and its successor, "Daimler-Benz AG" into world-leading pioneers in the use of diesel fuel for road vehicles. In 1922 Benz & Cie introduced a farm tractor with a self-combusting (through compression-induced spontaneous combustion) engine. It was the first road-capable diesel powered vehicle in the world. In 1923, under Nibel's direction, the first diesel powered road-going truck was presented by Benz. For the rest of his life and career he worked to sustain the company's pre-eminence in respect of diesel technology for road vehicles.
It was in 1922 that Nibel teamed up with his head of chassis design, Max Wagner, to produce the so-called "Benz-Tropfenwagen" (loosely, "Tear-drop car"), the shape of which pointed the way to the future in terms of what came to be known as "streamlining". Underneath the pioneering body shape there was more innovation, notably in respect of the "mid-engined configuration", which in this case involved positioning the engine within the wheelbase but behind the driver. The design featured a (relatively conventional) rigid front axle, but matched up with independently sprung rear wheels. The Benz-Tropfenwagen ensured international racing successes in the immediate time and placed Benz at the forefront of automobile chassis design during the years that followed.
On 25 August 1922 Hans Nibel, who had been a deputy member of the company's main board since 1917, became a full board member. This was also the year in which the institution known at that time as the "Technische Hochschule," (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) awarded him an honorary doctorate (Dr. Ing. h. c.) "in recognition of his great contributions to design/development and technology ("... in Anerkennung seiner großen Verdienste als Konstrukteur und Techniker").
Merger
May 1924 saw the establishment of the "Interessengemeinschaft Daimler Motoren-Gesellschaft und Benz & Cie“, a joint enterprise comprising the two companies "Benz and Cie AG" and "Daimler-Benz AG". There were many who saw the move as a precursor to fuller merger between the two companies, but there was also a tradition of rivalry to be taken into account. At the board level Hans Nibel was among the first to become convinced of the desirability of a full merger, and he was one of the most vigorous proponents of such a move. In this context it is unsurprising that he was appointed at once to the executive board of the newly created joint enterprise business. Meanwhile an effective programme of standardisation in respect of car design and production technologies was launched in order to enable Benz and Daimler models to compete more effectively in a crowded market place. Purchasing and sales activities were also harmonised, along with advertising, although at this stage each of the two brands retained a separate trade mark. The design and development offices were also merged. Nibel found himself working, as a colleague with his counterpart from Daimler, the brilliant - if, on occasion, "difficult" - Dr. Porsche. Somewhat confusingly, sources state that the two men worked "gleichberechtigt" (at the same level of authority) within the corporate structure although Porsche (who was five years older than Nibel), nevertheless "carried ultimate responsibility" for the department. It was only in 1926 that Nibel moved his own office from Mannheim-Waldhof to the (now shared) design and development office at Untertürkheim.
The merger between "Benz and Cie AG" and "Daimler-Benz AG" was finally concluded two years later, formally on 28 June 1926. The merger had been masterminded and choreographed by Wilhelm Kissel, who came from the commercial and administrative side of "Benz and Cie AG". Now even the trade mark - the "three pointed star" - was shared. From the operational side of the business Hans Nibel, whose enthusiasm for the merger had never dimmed, was naturally a founder board member of the new company, Daimler-Benz AG.
In 1928 Nibel became head of the company's design and development department. As Technical Director, Dr. Porsche was still senior to Nibel in terms of the company hierarchy, and there are indications that there was, at times, a certain friction between the two of them. Nevertheless, their strengths were in many ways complementary; and the period between 1926 and 1929, during which they both worked at Daimler-Benz, was a time of remarkable achievement for the company in terms of product development. In 1927, working with Fritz Nallinger, Nibel was able to bring to market the first Mercedes-Benz six-cylinder indirect injection diesel engine to the commercial vehicle market. At around the same time he also initiated the introduction of an oil-based thinning agent to diesel fuel to try and address the issues arising from the "waxing" problem that can affect diesel fuel in the cold temperatures to be encountered, especially on mountain roads, during the winter season.
Technical director
Ferdinand Porsche's relations with senior colleagues on the board remained uncomfortable. Sources differ as to whether he resigned or was sacked. In any event, at the beginning of January 1929 Hans Nibel took over the position of Technical Director. By this time he had already started work with Max Wagner on a new generation of car designs featuring a Tiefbett ("Underslung") chassis in place of the traditional Hochbett ("Overslung") one, which would provide for a lowered centre of gravity, resulting in better road holding, and allowing for a more fashionably "streamlined" body shape. There were also claims that production costs were reduced. Some sources indicate that Nibel's enthusiasm for lowered and more "streamlined" car designs was inspired by his experiences of the 1922 "Benz-Tropfenwagen". Through the 1930s Adler and Opel would follow the company in adopting the Tiefbett ("Underslung") chassis, but during Nibel's time it was something in respect of which Daimler-Benz were leading the pack.
The first (relatively) mass-market model featuring the new approach was the 1,692cc Mercedes-Benz W15, finalised in 1930 and launched in the market place as the "Mercedes-Benz Typ 170" in 1931. The car was commercially successful, helped by claims that it delivered a 20% improvement in fuel economy when compared to its taller and heavier predecessor, the technical performance which had also, during the previous five years, greatly benefitted from Nibel's inputs. The new "Typ 170" featured a number of other firsts on which the company took out valuable patents, including an early form if independent suspension and a "Schnellganggetriebe" (form of "overdrive") which made it easier for drivers to reduce engine speeds - and thereby fuel consumption - at higher cruising speeds, on flatter roads on which maximising torque was less of a priority. In terms of market coverage, by extending the range of passenger cars half a class downwards, the W15 gave the company access to a far larger number of potential customers than less fleet-footed rival manufacturers of luxury cars. Having lost the services of Ferdinand Porsche, with his radical ideas for a cheap to manufacture rear-engined passenger car, the company nevertheless steered clear of the small car market which was dominated during the early 1930s by DKW and Opel. For small cars unit profitability remained vanishingly low and, at least till the middle part of the decade, the volumes necessary to secure acceptable overall margins were not available in the German market. Thanks to the strategic model-policy decisions taken during the early 1930s, "Daimler-Benz AG" would emerge at the end of the decade in far better shape financially than most of the domestically owned German auto industry. Nibel was naturally closely engaged in the development of the company's sporting and luxury cars such as the many high-powered sports cars in the "S-Series" (W06) of the period some of which achieved sporting success in competitive events while others found significant commercial success domestically and in export markets. He also took a leading role in guiding the design and development of the so-called "Großer Mercedes" launched in its original form 1930, which attracted widespread attention internationally despite selling in relatively small volumes.
The success of the "Typ 170" provided impetus for the launch in 1933 and commercial success of the "Typ 200" (W21) and "Typ 290" (W18) in 1933, larger family cars, designed and developed under Nibel's close direction, which incorporated many of the innovations pioneered in the "Typ 170". More innovation at the top end of the range came with the "Typ 380" (W22), unveiled at the Berlin Motor Show in February 1933. A heavy-weight "money no object" luxurious sports tourer, costing between three and four (or more) times as much as the "Typ 170", depending on specifications. Buyers wanting to maximise performance could specify a "Kompressor" (a form of super-charger). The car had been conceived by Dr. Porsche, but most of its development took place, under Nibel's aegis, after Porsche had left the company. Only 154 of the cars were produced during a two year production run, but its reputational benefits for the Mercedes-Benz brand, both at the time and subsequently, were very considerable. The "Kompressor" technology, previously reserved for light-weight racing cars, would also prove to be of lasting value, not leastly for the (significantly more powerful, faster, and more expensive still) "Typ 500K" (W18) offered by the company between 1934 and 1939.
The rear-engined "Typ 130" (W23) introduced in February 1934 and listed in sales material till 1936 was as revolutionary as any of the passenger cars introduced by Daimler-Benz on Nibel's watch. The idea had almost certainly originated with Dr. Porsche who had remained influential in the auto industry following his own departure from the company in 1929. Placing the engine at the same end of the car as the driving wheels implied the possibility of a simplified drive-train with resulting reductions in productions costs and vehicle weight. Traction on slippery roads was improved and there were those who argued that the configuration could be more space-efficient. The "Typ 130" bore Nibel's signature in respect of much of the detailed design and development work. The mid-engined "Typ 130" (W30) unveiled during the summer of 1934 and the rear-engined "Typ 170H" (W28), offered for sale between 1936 and 1939, built on the pioneering ideas of the "Typ 130", and despite Nibel's own sudden death at the end of 1934, the timelines involved in putting new models into production in a pre-computer age means that assertions by admirers that these later models should also be seen as part of Nibel's formidable portfolio are entirely plausible. Commercially the rear-ended Mercedes-Benz models offered during the 1930s were unsuccessful: car buyers and those charged with maintenance and servicing of the cars preferred the in many ways less ambitious and more familiar technical solutions used for the popular "Typ 170V" (W136), which also carried all the hallmarks of a Nibel design. And despite it conventional front-engined lay-out the "Typ 170V" boasted a number of pioneering features of its own, including the light-weight but exceptionally rigid X-form oval-tube chassis. As technical masterpieces and showcases for the post-war future of the auto industry the rear-engined Mercedes-Benz models of the 1930s were nevertheless extremely important.
As Technical director Nibel found time to continue applying his abilities to racing car design. One of his last racing cars is perhaps also his best remembered. Designed for the newly instigated 750 kg class, the "W25", with independent suspension all round and with Rudolf Caracciola and Luigi Fagioli at the wheel, was conspicuous among the star performers of the 1934 Grand Prix season. Nibel was responsible for the overall project while much of the chassis development was entrusted to Max Wagner. Albert Heeß and Otto Schilling focused on creating the car's engine. The W25 continued to participate for two more years (though by the time of its replacement for 1937 it was widely perceived as having become outclassed in terms of sheer race-track performance). The W25 is remembered with affection by enthusiasts as the first of the "Silver Arrow" racing cars from Mercedes-Benz.
The Mercedes-Benz "Typ 260D" (W138) first appeared in public as a last minute surprise addition on the
company’s show stand only at the February 1936 Berlin motor show: it went on sale only some months later, around two years after Nibel's death. Commentators nevertheless accord to Nibel much of the credit for developing the car. He had completed a lot of the detailed work in it by the end of 1934. As the progenitor of nearly a century's worth of diesel powered Mercedes-Benz taxis the W138 was, even for Nibel, an exceptionally influential design, incorporating within its substantial in-line six cylinder diesel power unit an early Bosch Fuel injection system. Despite its substantial weight and high purchase price, almost 2,000 of these cars were sold between 1936 and 1941. Fuel consumption was strikingly better than that achieved by similarly sized petrol/gasoline powered models: the car was and is widely considered to have been one of Nibel's most significant achievements, both in its own terms and in terms of what it adumbrated in respect of the diesel powered Mercedes-Benz passenger cars - still including many snapped up by the taxi trade - which returned to the market after the war. For those with a taste for history, there was in addition much about the car which could be traced back directly to the diesel-powered agricultural vehicles on which Nibel had already worked as head of design and development for "Benz and Cie AG" during the early 1920s.
As Technical Director Nibel continued to engage with the development work in the Daimler-Benz air engine division. However, sources - whether in English or in German - that focus on Mercedes-Benz aero engines tend to be preoccupied with the war years, concentrating on the ten years after Nibel's death. It is known that one of the projects on which he signed off durng the final year of his life was the LZ 129, the first diesel engine to be designed expressly for, and mounted in, an airship.
Death
On 25 November 1934, as he was about to board a fast train at the main station in Stuttgart, Hans Nibel suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack. He had been on his way to Berlin in order to plan for the company's 1935 racing season. News of his unexpected death was greeted with shock followed by warm tributes. He had nevertheless been a consummate team worker, and for a number years senior members of the Design and Development department followed his approach and completed projects which Nibel had set in motion. Nibel's immediate successor as Technical Director was Max Sailer, a one-time racing driver whose contributions as Technical Director are principally reckoned in terms of the company's motor sport successes during the later 1930s. In 1941, still aged only 59, Sailer retired, reportedly on health grounds, having made relatively little impact on the company's core automobile manufacturing business, which less than one year later was abandoned completely in order that the factory could concentrate on war production. Sailer's successor, Fritz Nallinger, was an engineer by training and background who had worked closely with Nibel as a younger man. Nallinger would preside, between 1945 and 1965, over a period of product-led recovery from war and commercial achievement.
Hans Nibel's body was buried in the "Pragfriedhof" (cemetery) on the north side of Stuttgart.

is a professional Japanese baseball player. Selected in the fourth round of the 2018 NPB Draft from Meioh High School in Akita Prefecture, he plays outfield and first base for the Chiba Lotte Marines.
Early career
Yamaguchi started for Meioh High School from his second year as a two-way player, batting cleanup as well as pitching. In 2017, Meioh advanced to the Summer Koshien tournament, losing in their first game. However, Yamaguchi was unable to pitch due to injury. Yamaguchi served as Meioh's captain in his 3rd year, but Meioh was unable to return to Koshien after losing to Kosei Yoshida's Kanaashi Nogyo High School in the Akita final.
On October 25, 2018, Yamaguchi was drafted in the 4th round of the NPB Draft by the Chiba Lotte Marines, signing for an annual salary of 5.6 million Japanese yen with a 40 million yen bonus. At the time he was drafted, Yamaguchi expressed interest in remaining a two-way player as a professional.
After two years spent exclusively on the second squad, Yamaguchi made his career first squad debut on opening day, March 26, 2021, vs the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. He started as the designated hitter for the game and batted 5th, recording his first career hit in the 5th inning vs Hawks starter Shuta Ishikawa. Yamaguchi appeared in 78 games in total his rookie season, posting a slash line of .207/.365/.294 with 9 home runs.
Pacific League Record
In the 6th inning of Game 2 of the 2021 Pacific League Climax Series First Stage, Yamaguchi hit a solo homer off Rakuten Golden Eagles's Tomohiro Anraku, becoming the youngest player to hit a home run in a Pacific League Climax Series game at the age of 21 years and 2 months. The previous record holder was his teammate Hisanori Yasuda, who homered in the previous season's Pacific League Climax Series at the age of 21 years and 6 months.

The Chuck Keiper Trail is a hiking trail system in north-central Pennsylvania, consisting of 50.6 linear miles (81.4 km) of trails, forming a loop with a cross-connector through Sproul State Forest. Most of the system is in Clinton County, with a portion of the southwestern segment of the loop in Centre County. The trail is known for traversing one of the least populated regions of Pennsylvania, combining high areas on top of the Allegheny Plateau with many rugged climbs into and out of stream hollows; the trail also visits two state natural areas and two state wild areas. It is often cited as one of Pennsylvania's most remote and difficult backpacking trails.
History and route
The Chuck Keiper (rhymes with "viper") Trail is named after a longtime state wildlife management official, and was built in the 1970s with the assistance of the Youth Conservation Corps to visit the most remote areas of Sproul State Forest. The main trailhead is found at the parking area for Fish Dam Vista off of Pennsylvania Route 144 in west-central Clinton County, about ten miles south of Renovo. There is another trailhead with organized parking along the western section of the loop, also just off of PA Route 144 in northern Centre County, about eight miles southwest of Fish Dam Vista.
Main loop
This description illustrates the main loop in the counter-clockwise direction. From the Fish Dam Vista trailhead, the main loop heads west through a high plateau area. (Fish Dam Vista is also at the northern end of the East Branch Trail, which serves as the system's cross-connector.) The main loop descends to a crossing of Fish Dam Run at 3.5 miles and then climbs vigorously back to the top of the plateau. This segment is within Russell P. Letterman Wild Area. After another rugged descent, reach Burns Run at 6.2 miles and walk along this stream and a tributary before climbing back to the top of the plateau again. This segment is within Burns Run Wild Area. Reach a hunting camp's yard at 9.5 miles and begin yet another rugged descent, this time into the vast system of hollows formed by Yost Run and its tributaries.
The trail reaches the main stem of Yost Run at 11.0 miles and turns to the south, following the hollow upstream for the next few miles. Reach Yost Run Falls at 13.5 miles; at about 12 feet in height, this is one of the tallest waterfalls in central Pennsylvania. The trail then turns to the east and climbs back to the top of the plateau, this time on a hunting camp driveway, and reaches a trailhead parking lot just before crossing PA Route 144 at 14.8 miles. The trail descends again toward Eddy Lick Run, using an old forestry railroad grade and passing the remains of a late-1800s era splash dam at 17.7 miles. The trail rises moderately, crosses DeHaas Road at 19.9 miles, and traverses high areas interspersed with relatively shallow hollows for the next several miles, trending to the north. Reach a junction with the East Branch Trail, the cross connector in the Chuck Keiper Trail system, at 27.9 miles; that trail heads northwest from this point.
Soon turning to the north, the main loop continues across high ground until plunging into and climbing out of Clendenin Hollow and then Cranberry Hollow, reaching a junction with a trail that leads into Cranberry Swamp Natural Area at 32.3 miles. After crossing a brief patch of high ground, the trail descends steeply into a vast system of hollows formed by Benjamin Run and its tributaries, with an equally difficult climb back to the top of the plateau. A very narrow ridgetop is reached at a crossing of Grugan Hollow Road (also known as Mill Run Road) at 35.8 miles. The Jack Paulhamus/Garby Trail departs to the east on that road, and eventually crosses the West Branch Susquehanna River and connects with the Donut Hole Trail. The Chuck Keiper Trail begins another difficult descent into a system of hollows formed by several branches of Boggs Run, beginning a walk along that stream at 37.4 miles, followed by yet another steep climb back to the top of the plateau, now trending to the west. After another brief stretch of high ground, the trail descends along a tributary of Hall Run and crosses PA Route 144 again at 42.1 miles. The trail then proceeds parallel to the highway on a sidehill segment, then turns south and climbs alongside a different tributary of Hall Run. At the top, the trail stays on high ground, with the main loop ending at 47.3 miles at the Fish Dam Vista trailhead.
Cross-connector
The East Branch Trail serves as the cross-connector in the Chuck Keiper Trail system, reaching from the beginning of the main loop (as described above) to the southern segment of the main loop at its 27.9 mile point. From the trailhead parking area at Fish Dam Vista off of PA Route 144, the East Branch Trail initially heads east, roughly parallel to the highway. It then turns to the southeast and enters East Branch Swamp Natural Area at 1.6 miles. The trail then descends gently alongside East Branch Run and reaches the southern segment of the main loop after 3.3 miles.
Hiking options
The Chuck Keiper Trail system, thanks to the presence of the cross-connector trail, enables several loop options. As described above, a hike on the main loop on its own is 47.3 miles in length. A hike on the west side of the loop, utilizing the cross-connector trail, is 31.2 miles long. A hike on the east side of the loop, utilizing the cross-connector trail, is 22.7 miles long. A "figure-8" hike, which requires completing the cross-connector trail twice, is 53.9 miles long.

The Massacre Of Villages Under Kamešnica (Croatian: Pokolj u potkamešničkim selima) was the mass murder of Croat inhabitants from several villages in the Dalmatian Hinterland, between the Kamešnica and Mosor mountains, committed by the German 7th SS Division from the 26-30 March 1944, during World War II.
Incident
It happened during the counter-insurgency operations German forces and their Ustasha allies (namely the 369th Infantry Division, under German command) launched against Partisans in the areas of the Mosor mountain. While Partisans forces managed to retreat, German forces pursued them into the Kamešnica valley, where they conducted a punitive expedition against the civilian population, suspected of harbouring Partisans. The operation began on March 26th 1944. The worst hit were areas near Trilj, namely the villages of Podi, Ruda, Otok, Voštane, Krivodol, Donji Dolac, Ljut and Rože. Villagers, mostly women, children and elderly, were shot or forced into houses, which were then set alight. Donji Dolac was the first village to be assaulted, 272 inhabitants were burned alive, including 103 children. The village of Voštane sustained the largest death toll, where between 300 and 400 civilians were killed.
It is estimated that at least 1,525 civilians were killed during the massacres. Other sources, based on reports given by Croatian, Partisan and Wehrmacht reports at the time, estimate that between 1,800 and 3,000 people may have been killed.

On 14 February 2022, an explosion caused a fire in Rue Arago in Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque, in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of France, killing eight people and injuring thirty others.
Explosion
At around 1:30 A.M., on 14 February 2022, an explosion happened on the ground floor of a building in Rue Arago, Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque. It was followed by a major fire occuring either in the snack bar or at the grocery store. At least 11 apartments were affected. A witness said that they had first seen "a very loud explosion", followed by "huge flames." Another neighbour described it as "a horror scene … it was extraordinarily violent." The fire finally died down at noon after authorities had employed a team of 120 firefighters and some gendarmes.
Fatalities
Eight people, including two children, were killed by the blast. Three people were severely injured after inhaling smoke from the fire, and another man who had jumped out the building's window suffered serious injuries. Many survivors of the blast have suffered psychological damage. Among the dead were a young couple and their two children; one was a 2-3-year-old boy and the other was a baby.
While the initial estimated death toll was seven, it was raised to eight the next day. A 66-year-old woman is still missing but unlikely to be alive.
Aftermath
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, and are currently investigating if it could be a case of arson. Two gas cylinders were found near the scene.
Olivier Dussopt issued a statement of empathy for the victims; affirming that "Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones." Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin tweeted that he was visiting the scene of the explosion.

Rua-pū-tahanga was a Māori puhi ariki (chieftainess) from Ngāti Ruanui, who married Whatihua and thus became the ancestor of many tribes of Tainui. She probably lived in the sixteenth century.
Life
Rua-pū-tahanga was a daughter of Huetaepo, a chief of Ngāti Ruanui based at Patea in Taranaki and a direct descendant of Turi, the captain of the Aotea canoe. She had one brother, Tongātea.
Courtship of Tūrongo and Whatihua
When she reached adulthood, a young chief of Tainui, Tūrongo, son of Tāwhao travelled south from Kāwhia and got engaged to Rua-pū-tahanga. He then returned to Kāwhia and began to build a house at Te Whare-o-Ngarue in Kāwhia in preparation for her arrival. As he was working on the house, his brother and rival, Whatihua, came and advised him that the planned house was too big, convincing him to shorten the tāhuhu (ridge beam) in order to complete the task on time. He also convinced him to plant huge gardens, using up all of his kumara, so that he had none remaining in his storerooms. Meanwhile, Whatihua built his own house at Te Wharenui ('The Big House') on the Aotea Harbour, where it is said that the outline of the house is still visible in the grass in the summer. While Tūrongo was waiting to harvest his kumara, Whatihua summoned Rua-pū-tahanga from Patea.
Rua-pū-tahanga made the journey up the Whanganui River, through Tāngarākau, and Ōhura, into the Mokau Valley. Near Mahoenui, one of the dogs caught a kiwi and they cooked it, but it came out raw, so they named the place Te Umu-Kaimata ('The oven of under-cooked food). Further on in the journey, they cooked it again and it came out good, so they named that place Taorua ('Twice Cooked'). A spring called Te Puna-a-Rua-pū-tahanga is said to have been created by her using magic powers. When she arrived at Kāwhia, Tūrongo had no food for her and his house was too small to fit all the people whom she had brought along with her, while Whatihua had plenty of food and space, so she married him instead. Beaten, Tūrongo left Kāwhia.
Departure of Rua-pū-tahanga
Shortly after Rua-pū-tahanga gave birth to her second son, Whatihua's other wife, Apakura, asked him to catch her an eel, so he went to Ōparau, where there was known to be a large eel, and caught it, using one of Rua-pū-tahanga's mauri (magic talismans). This so infuriated Rua-pū-tahanga that she left Kāwhia, taking the baby Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā with her. After a while Whatihua noticed that she had gone and set off in pursuit. At the Matatua headland, she realised that Whatihua was following her and buried the baby in the sand up to his neck, so that Whatihua had to stop to uncover him and fetch people to take him back to the village. While he did this, Rua-pū-tahanga swum across the Kawhia Harbour, reaching the shore at Te Maika. From there, she passed Lake Taharoa, Taumatakanae, and Harihari, crossed the Marokopa River at the coast, crossed Kiri-te-here stream and reached the base of Mount Moeātoa, where cliffs extend right to the sea. She stopped to rest there and a small stream at the spot is named for the event, Te Mimi-o-Rua-pū-tahanga ('Rua-pū-tahanga's pee').
As she was resting, Whatihua caught up with her and there was nowhere to run, so Rua-pū-tahanga leapt off the cliffs into the roiling waves, where a taniwha, Rākei, picked her up and carried her away. She shouted to Whatihua, "Go back! You will die in your pursuit of my body, now set apart" or "The tides of Rākei of the hundred monster's eyes have risen," both now proverbial sayings. He returned to Kawhia.
Later life
Rua-pū-tahanga carried on to Mōkau, where she married a local man called Mōkau (after whom the place was named). They had a daughter, Kura-mōnehu, who married Rōrā, son of Maniapoto. Subsequently, she left Mokau too, travelling to the Waitara River and then around the east side of Mount Taranaki, back to Patea. This route, subsequently used by Māori to travel between north and south Taranaki became known as Te Ara-Tapu-o-Rua-pū-tahanga ('The sacred path of Rua-pū-tahanga').
During this journey, she stopped for the night on the bank of the Kahouri River. A spring where she sat and wept was named Te Puna-Roimata-o-Rua-pū-tahanga ('The spring of Rua-pū-tahanga's tears'). Afterwards she fell asleep as she lay staring at the night sky, and thus the place was named Whakāhu-rangi ('turn to the heaven'), which is now the Māori name for the nearby town of Stratford.
When she returned to Patea, Rua-pū-tahanga married a man of Ngāti Ruanui and had two further children, Wheke ('octopus') and Ngū ('squid'). According to Percy Smith, as she was dying, she told them that they should place her bones on a whata ('shelf') and that if their elder half-brothers ever visited, her bones would fall from the whata so that they would recognise them. When the brothers did visit, Wheke and Ngū were not in the village and while they were waiting around they accidentally knocked the bones from the whata. The villagers shouted at them for desecrating the bones of Wheke and Ngū's mother and they responded "I always thought those were fishes' names, now I learn they are men," causing the people of the village to attack them. However, Pei Te Hurinui Jones finds the same story being told about Hiapoto wife of Mangō and argues that the attribution of this story to Rua-pū-tahanga is mistaken.
Family
Rua-pū-tahanga married three times. With her first husband, Whatihua, she had two sons:
Uenuku-tuhatu, probably the same as Uetapu, who had three sons:
Te-Ata-i-ōrongo, who married Rangi-waea and had one son, Kai-ihu
Mania-ōrongo
Tū-a-tangiroa, who had a daughter, Hine-au-Pounamu, who married Rereahu
Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā, also called Uenuku-whāngai ('the adopted') because he was raised by Apakura, who had two sons:
Tamāio
Hotunui
Mōtai, who married Hinewai, a daughter of Whatihua's brother Tūrongo, and had a son Kura-nui, whose daughter Rerei-ao married Pikiao, ancestor of Ngāti Pikiao, creating a link between Tainui and Te Arawa that was considered very important in Tainui whakapapa.
With her second husband, Mōkau, she had one daughter:
Kura-mōnehu, who married Rōrā, son of Maniapoto
With her third husband, Porou, she had two children
Wheke ('octopus')
Ngū ('squid')

Justus Juncker (24 July 1703 - 14 June 1767) was a German genre and flower painter. He is also known for his association with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and his father Johann Caspar Goethe
Biography
Juncker was born in Mainz, Germany - then an independent state of the Holy Roman Empire - on 24 July 1703. He moved to Frankfurt as a child, where he studied under Johann Hugo Schlegel. He was subsequently influenced by the collection of Baron von Häckel, and specifically the collection's works from the Dutch painter Thomas Wijck. It is alleged that Juncker lived in London for a short time, but this is not documented. He was married in Eschborn in 1722, and settled in Frankfurt in 1723, the year in which his son, Isaak, was born. In 1826 Juncker obtained permanent residency in Frankfurt. Juncker was a teacher to his son Isaak Juncker and step-son Johann Daniel Bager, who both became painters in their own right.
From the 1840s Juncker specialised in still life painting, though he also created several genre paintings after this point.
Juncker was one of the artists that Johann Caspar Goethe (father of the famous German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) comissioned to decorate the Goethe family house after the death of Johann Caspar's mother in 1854. Juncker created two still-life paintings for Goethe, one of which is mentioned in the younger Goethe's autobiography "Dichtung und Wahrheit":
In his later years, Juncker tried to found a drawing and painting school in Frankfurt with other artists, but the project never came to fruition.
