Helen Steven (1942-2016) was a Scottish Quaker peace activist and one of the founders of the Scottish Centre for Nonviolence. Her opposition to the nuclear submarine base in Scotland was recognised with the Gandhi International Peace Award in 2004. Life Steven was educated at Laurel Bank school and at the University of Glasgow, and worked for several years as a history teacher. She volunteered with the Peace Corps in Vietnam in the early 1970s, and traced her commitment to pacifism to her experiences in Vietnam. During the early 1970s she became Ellen Moxley's life partner. From 1979 to 1985, she was Justice and Peace Worker for the Iona Community. With her partner Ellen Moxley, she founded Peace House near Dunblane in 1985, providing training in peace, justice and nonviolent direct action. She later helped to establish the Scottish Centre for Nonviolence in 1999 The Centre closed in 2007, but during that time Steven was able to develop a non-violence module for a masters degree that was accredited by the Open University. In 1984, after being arrested for taking part in a nonviolent demonstration at the Faslane nuclear base, Steven said in her defence statement: 'If I see that base at Faslane as morally wrong and against my deepest convictions – as wrong as the gas chambers of Auschwitz, as wrong as the deliberate starvation of children – then by keeping silent, I condone what goes on there'. She refused to pay the fine and was imprisoned. In 2002 she and Moxley retired to Raffin in Assynt in northern Scotland. They received the Gandhi International Peace Award in 2004 for their nonviolent campaigning against weapons of mass destruction. Steven delivered the annual Swarthmore Lecture to British Quakers in 2005, on the topic No Extraordinary Power: Prayer, Stillness and Activism. Steven died in 2016 and she was survived by her civil partner Ellen Moxley for three years.

Since the 13th century, town Jihlava had two hospitals. The Hospital of St. Elizabeth situated outside the fortification walls in the north part of the medieval town and the Hospital of St. George which stood further to the north on the so-called Hospital suburb (Špitálské předměstí). Separately, on the place of today piano factory near U dlouhé stěny street there used to be a lazarette for the wonderers. It served as a quarantine place. Only in 1751, when the first permanent army battalion settled in the town, Jihlava got its first army hospital. It was built between 1753 and 1754 in Věžní street. Due to its small size, a new army hospital was built between 1785 and 1786 on today Tolstého street (today Police-Academy building). In the 1830s the city felt a growing need to build a new and modern hospital, which was finally built on the place granted by Václav Dobřenský the owner of Plandry manor. The new hospital was built next to the army facility. Its foundation stone was consecrated on 5 August 1849, the new facility was put into operation on 26 November 1850. Its first chief doctors were Dr. Franz Julius Grüner (1850–69), Dr. Julius Grüner (1869-1887), Dr. Julius Pollatschek (1887-1898) and Dr. Anton Nietsch. In 1877, in the hospital garden, a new wing for infection diseases was built. The bed capacity then hit number 118. In 1879 the hospital was connected to the town water system. In 1899, a new surgery-ward construction started, in 1902 it was put into operation. Since 1928 the building was used for Department of Ophthalmology. The development of the hospital slowed down during the First World War. When Jihlava became a part of Czechoslovakia, two new hospital departments were established: Department of Internal Disease and Dermatology. On 1 July 1928 a new surgery ward was put into operation. It was a modern building consisting of six floors and two entrances, which was far ahead its time. The new wards means the increase in the number of the beds. In 1935, there were 470 beds in the hospital. In 1937 Department of Otorhinolaryngology was established and in 1945 the Department of Paediatric was newly founded. After Second World War, the hospital became the main regional facility with MUDr. František Bradáček as a head. But from 1950s on, the area of the hospital became too small for all its departments and a completely new compound placed in the west part of the town was chosen for the construction of the new one. New Hospital The first wing built was for the Department of Infectious Diseases, which was put into operation in 1967. The construction site for the new hospital was situated next to the outpatient clinic, all the health services could, therefore, be at one place. In 1973 the construction of the first bigger block of the hospital – the internal ward – began. In 1972 a new Department of Radiology became independent, as its first MUDr. Jan Štěpánek was appointed. In 1979 a new Hemodialisis department was established, it was then the second largest in Czechoslovakia. In 1980 the ARO department for the inpatients was opened. In 1981 a ward for diagnostic medical branches was built and in 1982 the operation of a non-stop emergency in the region was established. In 1983 the new wing for the internal medical branches was finished. Between the existing wing for diagnostic branches and this new internal ward the building for the wing of radiators was built. In 1988 another building was finished and put into operation, the department for the Long-Term-Ill patients, which offered 100 beds. In 1994 a Gynaecology-Obstetrics pavilion was opened for the patients. The departments which still operated in the area of the old hospital were then moved to the new one. In 2002, when a new pavilion for the central surgery rooms and central sterilization was opened the old hospital area was abandoned and Hospital Jihlava has been operating only in the new area since. After al hospital departments were finally under one roof, the development could continue. In May 2005, the SANUS Assisted Reproduction Centre started its operation. In September 2007, Cardio-Centre Vysočina started its operation in the modified premises of the hospital. Since 2008, it has been working closely with the newly established cardiology department of the hospital. In cooperation with the Polytechnic University in Jihlava (Vysoká škola Polytechnická), the hospital has become a teaching centre of the Department of Health Studies for the bachelor's degree programmes in midwifery and general nursing. In July 2010, the hospital obtained the status of the centre for stroke treatment. In 2019, the hospital was awarded the fourth place in the competition Safe Hospital References Hospitals in the Czech Republic Vysočina Region Teaching hospitals Jihlava District Jihlava
Barahnaja (lit. "twelve seeds") is an ancient traditional system of multiple cropping that is practised in the Indian mountainous state of Uttarakhand. The term literally means "twelve seeds or food grains" in Garhwali, and refers to the twelve types of crops that are grown together in a single field to enhance soil fertility, food security, and ecological balance. There are no pesticides or fertilizers involved in this method, and many crops in the barahnaja system have medicinal uses. This sustainable and traditional farming method is climate-resilient and has been recognized as "organic by default". Types of crops The twelve major crops that are grown under the barahnaja system include: 1.Mandua/Ragi (finger millet) 2. Ramdana (amaranth) 3. Rajma (kidney bean) 4. Ogal (buckwheat) 5. Urad (black gram) 6. Moong (green gram) 7. Gahat/Kulath (horsegram) 8. Bhat (soyabean) 9. Lobiya (Cowpea) 10. Kheera/kakdi (cucumber) 11. Bhangjeera (hemp) 12. Jakhiya (cleome) Although the term means "twelve seeds or food grains", this can change depending on the local terrain and climate, and farmers can grow as many as 20 different crops on the field. All these are grown without the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Benefits of the farming method The traditional farming method of barahnaja has been widely studied, and is known to have the following advantages: suitable for ecologically fragile regions; sustainable and self-sufficient; multiple cropping prevents soil erosion; food security as threat of widespread crop failure is minimised; health benefits to consumers with its chemical-free approach; enhances soil health and fertility.

Trochiliscaceae is a family of fossil charophyte green algae. It is the only member of the order Trochiliscales. The reproductive structures in Trochiliscaceae (and families placed in Sycidiales by AlgaeBase) have a calcified cover, called a utricle, that is thought to prevent the zygote being desiccated. Other Paleozoic families lack this cover, as do modern charophytes. Fossils of Trochiliscaceae are from the Devonian.

Domenico Giuseppe Serafino (born 1967) is an Italian musician, music producer and has been chairman/ owner of association football clubs in Italy and Wales. Music career Serafino is a musician and music producer - and has had some popularity within South America during his musical career, particularly in the mid-1990s through to the 2000s. "His style defies conventional definitions, lying somewhere at the intersection of rap, funk and rock, with African influences in both sound and aesthetic." The video for his 1999 song Ma Chi M’accompagna features former Italian international footballer, Roberto Baggio. Football chairman and owner Bangor City In the summer of 2019, with then Cymru Premier club Bangor City in financial troubles via the then ownership of Vaughan Sports Management, new investment and ownership was being sought. By September a consortium of investors had taken control of Bangor and Serafino was installed as chairman. Serafino brought in Argentine World Cup winner Pedro Pasculli as the new manager of the team. In April 2020 Serafino made a £5,000 donation to local hospital Ysbyty Gwynedd to help it fight the outbreak of coronavirus. The club finished the inaugural Cymru North season in fifth place in a season curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic with the final table determined on a points-per-game basis. In April 2021 the club was refused a Tier 1 licence on the basis of a failure to provide the club's financial accounts as part of their application along with an issue in relation to coaching qualifications. Concerns over unpaid wages for club players and club officials were reported in the press In October 2021, who noted similarities to a situation in early 2021 at Sambenedettese. The club were summoned by the Football Association of Wales to a disciplinary hearing over the matter. The panel ruled that "all outstanding monies" must be paid within 31 days from 29 October 2021 - the club owed nearly £53,000 of unpaid wages to players and staff - with the sanction in the event of non-payment being the club would be banned "from all football related activity". On 30 November the Football Association of Wales suspended the club from all football related activity after they failed to comply with the payment of outstanding monies. As the club were suspended from football their Cymru North matches against five clubs were postponed between 30 November and February 2022, with the club docked three points for each missed match and also fined. On 7 January 2022 it was announced by FAW that the club had not applied for a licence to compete in the tier 2 Cymru North for the 2022–23 season, or at tier 3 level. On 14 January the club's academy announced on social media that closing with immediate effect after no support was forthcoming from the club and there had been no concrete evidence from the FAW or the club that the situation at the club was going to improve. On 11 February the FAW announced that the club had until 19 February to pay all outstanding fines or they would be immediately expelled from the Cymru North. It also announced that in the event the club paid outstanding fines, they would have to play all subsequent league fixtures or they would also face immediate expulsion from the league. "A club competing in the second tier of Welsh professional football" and "a club with a noteworthy history. They have had some spells in the international European tournaments" was shortly afterwards advertised for sale with asking price of £1.25 million. The club was reported as Bangor City with the Daily Post noting the "eye-watering price" did not include the club's ground which was leased from the council. On 18 February the club announced in an official statement by Serafino they had informed the FAW that they had withdrawn from the Cymru North for the 2021–22 season. They also noted plans to return to play for the following season. Later that day, the FAW confirmed that the club's withdrawal had been accepted and its playing record in the league for the season had been expunged. Sambenedettese In June 2020 he was unveiled as the new owner and chairman of Italian Serie C side S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio. He claimed to have paid former owner Franco Fedeli over 1.2 million euros for the club. The deal was announced by the club on 10 June. In late March 2021 the club's players threatened to strike, and not play the match scheduled for Saturday 3 April in Matelica. A statement by the Italian Footballers Association, which published the press release, stated that the players had not received payment of the monthly salaries of November – December 2020 and January – February 2021 and that Sefarino had personally assured them that he would settle the arrears of salaries no later than Friday 2 April. In April 2021 the club were docked four points from their current campaign due to unpaid player wages, fined €3,000 and Serafino was given a six-month suspension from running football clubs in a decision by the FIGC tribunal. A pig's head was left outside Serafino's home in Italy with under it a photo of Serafino - it was believed this related to the lack of payment of players' wages. In early April, five different companies sought bankruptcy petitions for non-payment of delivery of services.

The Unity of Philosophical Experience is a 1937 book by Étienne Gilson in which the author provides a critique of Western philosophy. Reception Philosopher and theologian Benedict M. Ashley compared Copleston's A History of Philosophy to some of the most famous histories of philosophy including Gilson's as follows: "Some histories of philosophy, like the admirable one of Frederick Copleston, only attempt to give an accurate account of various philosophies in their general historical setting. Others, like Bertrand Russell in his absurd History of Western Philosophy or Etienne Gilson in his brilliant The Unity of Philosophical Experience proffer an argument for a particular philosophical position."

The Global Firepower Index (GPI) is a ranking that has been updated annually since 2006. The index attempts to measure the conventional warfare capacity of various countries. Different military, demographic, financial, logistical and geographic factors are included in the index, but not nuclear warfare capacity. The index has received coverage in various media, including in The Times of India, CNBC, Newsweek, Inquirer and Handelsblatt. Methodology More than 50 statistical indicators are included in the index. These include the manpower, equipment, military budget, natural resources and other factors. The number of nuclear weapons is not included, however, as only the capacity for conventional warfare is calculated. A score is calculated from all indicators, the PowerIndex (PwrIndx). The lower the PwrIndx, the greater the estimated capacity for conventional warfare. The best theoretical score a country can achieve in the Global Firepower Index is 0. Ranking Countries are sorted by their rank in the Global Firepower Index in 2022. In this year, 140 countries were ranked.

Edmund Honohan is an Irish barrister who has been the Master of the High Court since 2001. Early life Honohan is from Glasnevin and is the brother of Patrick Honohan. He was called to the Bar in 1975 and became a senior counsel in 1995. He was involved with Fianna Fáil early in his career, where he assisted with the writing of the party's manifesto for the 1977 general election. Bertie Ahern was selected ahead of him to contest the 1977 election in Dublin Finglas. He advised the Minister for Economic Planning and Development Martin O'Donoghue between 1977 and 1979. He acted in cases involving company law, judicial review, chancery, employment law and personal injuries. Master of the High Court He was interviewed for the position of Master of the High Court in 2001 and was appointed in May 2001. He succeeded Harry Hill. He unsuccessfully asked to be nominated to the European Court of Justice in 2008 and the Supreme Court of Ireland in 2014. He criticised the regulation of solicitors in 2005. In 2018, he used a hammer to a break a window in the Four Courts due to his concerns over the ventilation in the Master's Court. Debt cases Since the post-2008 Irish economic downturn, much of his case load has involved debt enforcement and repossession cases, often dealing with up to 200 cases a week. According to the Business Post, he has been considered a "debtors' champion". The President of the High Court Peter Kelly transferred the hearing of motions to seek final judgment in debt enforcement proceedings from the Master to judges of the High Court in January 2019. The High Court granted an injunction in 2014 restraining him from acting upon a referral he made to the Director of Public Prosecutions regarding alleged perjury by Allied Irish Banks in a debt recovery case. Iseult O'Malley later held in 2015 that he had no power to make such a referral and quashed his order to strike out the action. In 2018, Honohan drafted the National Housing Co-Operative and Fair Mortgage Bill, which he provided to Fianna Fáil. It sought to stop the eviction of homeowners in arrears until the house was sold and to provide for co-operatives to purchase such houses.

Prison and Chocolate Cake is the first of two early memoirs by Nayantara Sahgal, first published by Alfred A. Knopf (New York) and Victor Gollancz (London) in 1954, and includes her childhood experiences of her family during the Indian independence movement in the 1930s and 40s. It was written during the winter of 1952-53 when she was 25, married and with two young children. The title is based on an incident in the early 1930s when Sahgal, at age three, witnessed police arrive to take her father to prison. At the time, the family were having chocolate cake for tea, a treat that day instead of the usual bread and butter. Central to her story are her father, the classic scholar Ranjit Sitaram Pandit, her mother, the former ambassador to the United Nations Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, and her uncle, Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister. Prison sentences for several family members became more frequent and Sahgal's memories of them increasingly unpleasant as she was expected to stay composed and not show her distress. At the age of 12 in 1939, she tried to understand the concept of non-violence at the onset of the Second World War, through letters to her father in Jail. In 1943, she was sent with her sister to the US to complete her education. Whilst there, her father died in prison in India. After completing her studies at Wellesley, she returned to India in 1947 shortly after independence. The book ends with the assassination of Gandhi in 1948. The book has been used as a source for the study of women in history, and provides insights into how the politics of the 1930s and 40s in India affected the Nehru children. It was followed by A Time to be Happy (1958). Background and title Nayantara Sahgal, an educated, widely-travelled member of the Indian elite of the 1940s, is the daughter of the classic scholar Ranjit Sitaram Pandit, and former ambassador to the United Nations Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, niece of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and cousin of India's third prime minister Indira Gandhi. The title Prison and Chocolate Cake comes from an incident in the early 1930s which Sahgalher describes as her earliest political memory, one day at tea when she was age three. Chocolate cake was a treat that day as usually they would have bread and butter. When her elder sister Lekha asked their mother why police had arrived at their home during tea, their mother "explained that they had come to take Papu [their father] to prison, but that it was nothing to worry about, that he wanted to go. So we kissed him goodbye and watched him leave; talking cheerfully to the policeman". Describing the incident as "far from unpleasant", she recounts in the book that "We ate our chocolate cake and, in our infant minds, prison became in some mysterious way, associated with chocolate cake". The book is the first of Sahgal's autobiographies, one of two of her early works based on her childhood memories covering the years 1943 to 1948. It was written during the winter of 1952-53 when she was 25, and married with two young children. Publication and content Prison and Chocolate Cake was first published in 1954 by Victor Gollancz Ltd (London), and by Alfred A. Knopf (New York). Both have over 200 pages beginning with a dedication to Sahgal's parents. There is a preface, contents page, a listing of the eight illustrations in the book, and a glossary. The Alfred A. Knopf version has an additional index and a section on who is who in the book. The book has 20 chapters and regularly interspersed are footnotes with explanations, some cited with references. It was translated into Hindi, and French in 1957. The book includes Sahgal's memoirs, accounts of her sisters Gita and Chandralekha, and that of her family during the Indian independence movement. She describes what it was like to grow up with both parents focussed on the Gandhian philosophy of non-violent civil disobedience during India's freedom struggle in the 1940s. In her words "our growing was India's growing up into India's political maturity - a different kind of political maturity from any that the world had seen before, based on an ideology inspired by self-sacrifice, compassion and peace". It includes her childhood memories of several generations of the Nehru family, encounters with Gandhi, who sometimes visited Sahgal's family home, and the politicians that visited them. Synopsis Sahgal begins the story in 1943, mid-World War II when she was in her teens, and en-route to the United States to complete her education. At the time, her parents and several others of her family were in prison for opposing British rule. She questions her parents courage to send her and her sister abroad at such a time. On the ship, she hears experiences from Polish refugees from Russia, and US soldiers returning from the Pacific War, one of who was surprised that she could be Indian, as she spoke English like he did. She describes several encounters on the ship and then later in the US, with people intrigued to know about India from her. Sahgal says herself that she writes in the order that she remembers events rather than chronologically. An account then follows of political life at Swaraj Bhavan, their family mansion in Allahabad, and daily routines at the newer Anand Bhawan in the 1930s, and how the non-cooperation movement changed life for the Nehru family. Politicians in her memoirs include Sir Stafford Cripps, Maulana Azad and Sarojini Naidu. Included is her first encounter with Gandhi, dropping her elder sister to boarding school, parties at home, life at Woodstock School and her uncle Nehru who she calls Mamu. Her parents and Nehru are central to her story and were jailed several times. She explains it was voluntary, occasions to be congratulated upon and family and friends patted them on their backs on their way. Sahgal, as a young child, wanting to be old enough to go to prison too, was expected to be proud, not show sorrow, but hold a stiff upper lip; crying was in secret she writes. Recollections of increasing time spent with servants include one of Hari, who is given an encouraging send off when he too is arrested and sent to prison. Later visits to prison to see her parents are unpleasant and after the announcement of the Quit India Movement, contact by letter and in person becomes almost none. Sahgal is 12 when war breaks out in 1939. In a series of letters she discusses with her father, then in prison, several political topics including whether India should help Britain, non-violent disobedience and communism. In 1944, after the death of her father, her mother joined her in the US. There, she made several connections including Paul Robeson, Helen Keller, Margaret Sanger and Pearl S. Buck. In the US, Sahgal describes the celebrity status they experienced as the 'Nehru nieces'. After completing her studies at Wellesley, Massachusetts, Sahgal returned to India in October 1947, shortly after India's independence. The book ends with the assassination of Gandhi. Reviews In 1954, The New York Times described the book as a "relaxed account of life in both worlds". W. F. Whyte in International Affairs noted Sahgal's letter (age 12) to her father in 1939 as she tried to understand the concept of non-violence at the onset of the War. The reply she received from her father in Lucknow prison, Whyte says, "reads today like a pertinent footnote to history" Historian Jeanne d'Ucel appreciated the authors sense of humour throughout the book. Analyses of the book in later years include that of N.D.R. Chandra in the second volume of Modern Indian Writing in English: Critical Perceptions, in which he says Sahgal "displays her sharp and acute awareness of the political and social issues of India"... "her feelings for politics and command over English are more impressive than her art". In Lorna Sage's The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English , the book is categorised as part of Sahgal's first phase of writing; "the early semi-autobiographical, feminist novels reflecting contemporary politics". It is one of Sahgals' works that has contributed to her being grouped with other Indian women writers such as Kamala Markandaya and Attia Hosain. Meena Khorana writes in her bibliography of English language books The Indian Subcontinent in Literature for Children and Young Adults, that it "provides an intimate and enjoyable account of how the Nehru children were affected". The book is an archival source for studies in women in history. Sequels Prison and Chocolate Cake was followed by A Time to be Happy (1958), From Fear Set Free (1962), This Time of Morning (1965), Storm in Chandigarh (1969), and The Day in Shadow. In 1990, Sahgal stated in an interview that she would not write any further autobiographies but then published Relationship (1994) and Point of View: A Personal Response to Life (1997).

Northeast Airlines Flight 285 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Boston's Logan International Airport to New York's LaGuardia Airport with stops in Hyannis, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and New Bedford that crashed on September 15, 1957, while trying to land at New Bedford. Seven passengers and two crew members were killed in the crash and three passengers later died from injuries. It was Northeast's second fatal crash of the year (the first was Northeast Airlines Flight 823) and was followed by another deadly crash the following year. Flight The flight, which carried freight, mail, and passengers, departed from Boston for Hyannis at 5:50 pm with 21 passengers on board. The aircraft, a Douglas DC-3, departed Hyannis at 6:35 pm for Nantucket. It left Nantucket at 7:30 pm for Martha's Vineyard. The plane missed its first landing approach at Martha's Vineyard due to poor weather conditions, but landed safely on the second approach at 8:07 p.m. All of the original passengers deplaned at these stops. Seven new passengers boarded at Nantucket and fourteen more boarded at Martha's Vineyard. At 8:18 pm, the plane, which was 50 minutes behind schedule, took off from Martha's Vineyard for New Bedford, where one passenger was scheduled to get off. The rest were bound for the flight's final stop at LaGuardia. Crash Around 8:45 pm, the plane, made a normal approach to the field. On its final approach to New Bedford, smashed a 400-foot path through trees and went down about 4,000 feet short of the runway in the Apponegansett Swamp. Investigations Both the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission investigated the crash. The Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission released its report on September 30, 1957. It found the most probable reason for the crash was a "loss of visual reference during the final visual phase of an instrument approach, due to weather conditions". According to the report, at the time of the crash the ceiling at the airport was 200 feet and there was visibility of a half-mile. The CAB determined that the probable cause of the accident to be premature descent by the pilot in the approach area without adherence to the instrument landing system approach dictated by existing weather conditions in an attempt to make a visual approach. They found that Flight 285 had descended prematurely and to a low and unsafe altitude in an attempt to approach the airport visually. It did not conform to the ISL glide path, flying nearly 189 feet below the glide path centerline and 165 feet to the right of the localizer centerline. A descent occurred which was not recognized by the pilots in time for corrective action, resulted in the plane striking trees and crashing about 4,000 feet short of the runway threshold.

Thiếu Sơn (1908–1978), birth name Lê Sĩ Quý, was a Vietnamese writer, journalist, literary critic and revolutionary. As a literary critics, he was known for his magnum opus Phê bình và cảo luận (Criticism and rough dissertation) (1933). He was considered the pionneer of literary criticism using the Vietnamese alphabet, and also pioneer of personality reviews of notable writers. During the Indochina War and Vietnam War, he worked as a leftist activitist who supported the resistance effort of Democratic Republic of Vietnam against the invasion of France and United States. Childhood and pre-1945 activities Thiếu Sơn was born as Lê Sĩ Quý in 1908 in Hải Dương, French Indochina. Other documents claimed his birthplace was Hanoi. Due to distance in time and a spatial turbulence childhood, even Lê Sĩ Quý and his relatives failed to remember his exact birthday and birth place. Lê Sĩ Quý was a son government officer worked as a verbal translator for the Palace of Resident-Superior of Tonkin, specialized in the Mountainous Area. Lê Sĩ Quý's father was not a faithful husband, he abandoned Quý's birth mother and married two more times. Due to work demands, Quý's family frequently relocated accross mountainous provinces in northern Vietnam, disrupting his education many times. Moreover, Quý's health in his childhood had always been poor, and his father's income as a petty government officer was mediorce. Therefore, despite being a bright student, he only managed to finish upper primary school in 1927 and failed to finish highschool education. Nonetheless, Quý passed the 1929 bureucrat examination with flying colors and began worked at Gia Định Post Office in 1930. Lê Sĩ Quý began his active literary activities in the 1930s, during the blooming of literary movement in Southern Vietnam, with the penname Thiếu Sơn (少山), meaning "Mountain of Youth" or "Young Mountain". The penname "Thiếu Sơn" expressed his favour for a stability and eternal "like a mountain" but also for the vividity and vigor "of the youth". From the very beginning, Thiếu Sơn's literary reviews was highly praised by the literary experts and appeared on many popular newspaper at that time, including the famous Phụ nữ tân văn (婦女新聞, Newspaper of Women) who published his reviews about its own editor. In 1933, Thiếu Sơn published his magnum opus, Phê bình và cảo luận (Criticism and rough dissertation), a collection of his early review essays. The collection received critical acclaim from the readers and established Thiếu Sơn as not only the pioneer of modern literary critics in Vietnam but also the pioneer of personality reviews of notable writers. Encouraged by the early successes, Thiếu Sơn proceeded his career in literature critics and continued to produce valuable reviews, later compiled in an equally acclaimed collection Câu chuyện văn học (The story of literature, 1943). A notable review of Thiếu Sơn, "Two opinions in literature" (1935), unintentionally sparked a heated debate between the "two opinions" Art for art's sake and Art for life's sake in Vietnam during the late 1930s. Thiếu Sơn nominally supported the "Art for art's sake", but he himself had no enthusiasm in the debate and quickly diverted his attention to other issues. Beside literarure, Thiếu Sơn also wrote reviews about social life and human personality like the work Đời sống tinh thần (The Spiritual Life, 1945) which received the Alexandre de Rhodes Rewards. He also wrote some novels and short stories, including Người bạn gái (The girlfriend, 1941) but was poorly received. Revolutionary and patriotic activities during the First Indochina War In the wake of 1940 Cochinchina uprising, French authorities retaliated with brutal suppression. All government officers were forced to take the oath of loyalty. Thiếu Sơn refused to do so and submitted a letter of resignation, but was instead relocated to Saigon Post Office. The event deepened his patriotic and anti-colonialism sentiments. The successful 1945 August Revolution further encouraged Thiếu Sơn to take part in revolutionary and patriotic activities. He cooperated for Justice, a newspaper of French Socialist Party who supported Vietnam's independence, and joined the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) on 15 December 1945, worked as Secretary for Vietnamese SFIO members. He pressed for the proper execution of the Temporal Agreement of 14 Sep 1946. Thiếu Sơn wrote another letter of resignation to protest the Oath of Allegiance Ceremony enforced by the pro-France Autonomous Republic of Cochinchina in December 1946, and the third one on 19 December 1946 when First Indochina War broke out, openly refused to be a collaborator of French government. As a journalist for the Justice, Thiếu Sơn wrote many articles sharply crictizing France's policy in Vietnam, which was collected in the compilation Giữa hai cuộc cách mạng 1847 và 1945 (Betweern the 1847 and 1945 revolutions, 1947). In 1948, the pro-French Provisional Central Government of Vietnam attempted to propose Thiếu Sơn a ministerial post, but he refused categorically. In 1949, accepting the invitation of Viet Minh general Nguyễn Bình, Thiếu Sơn made a visiting tour in Viet Minh's controlled area in Đồng Tháp Mười and met many well-known Vietnamese intellectuals there, including Phạm Thiều and Ca Văn Thỉnh. He also arranged the meeting of French socialist leader Alain Savary, member of French Union Council, with the Viet Minh's Administrative Committee of Resistance Forces in Southern Vietnam, in the same year. As a result the pro-French authorities arrested Thiếu Sơn, accused him as a "Communist agent", but was forced to release him under the pressure of leftist activitists. Thiếu Sơn continued his patriotic and anti-colonialism activities after his release. He established the Association of Intellectual Labourer in Southern Vietnam. Together with Trịnh Đình Thảo, he arranged the meeting of Georges Duhamel with 100 well-known Vietnamese intellectuals to informed the French people about patriotic war of Vietnamese people against French invasion.

Kenneth Harding (10 March 1903 – September 1992) was a violist in the BBC Symphony Orchestra for thirty-five years and a British composer, composing primarily for viola. Biography Amos ‘Kenneth’ Harding was born in Abertillery, Monmouthshire, Wales in 1903. His early musical studies were with his father Amos Harding, who was a music teacher, choirmaster, pianist and organist. He started playing the violin at the age of six, and by the age of thirteen Harding was a professional violin player, playing in the cinema orchestra. He joined the O’Mara Opera Company in 1917 and the Bath Municipal Orchestra in 1919. He briefly studied with Dr. Norman Sprankling before entering the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth in 1920, to study composition with Sir Walford Davies, one-time Master of the King's Music. Harding, having initially studied the violin, took up the viola when Raymond Jeremy, the violist in the University of Wales String Quartet, left to study at London's Royal Academy of Music. In 1925 Harding was appointed as a violin and viola teacher at the university and conducted the junior orchestra. He moved to Cardiff in 1927 and joined the Cardiff Station Orchestra. In 1928 he took up the principal viola position in the new National Orchestra of Wales. In 1930 he moved to London to take up the principal viola position in the newly formed BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sir Adrian Boult. He played with the BBCSO from 1930 until 1965. On the advice of his doctor, Harding ceased playing the viola in 1988 but continued to compose until his death in September 1992. Compositions His early compositions from the early 1920s came to the attention of Gustav Holst and in 1923 he composed three string quartets for the University of Wales String Quartet of which he was a member. His Passacaglia for Violin, Piano and Cello was amongst the first of his compositions to be broadcast. As early as 1930 his works had been played across Great Britain and in the United States. Whilst a member of the BBCSO, many of his compositions were broadcast by the Cardiff Ensemble, the BBC Welsh Orchestra, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Many of Harding's compositions were dedicated to well-known violists of the period, such as his 1931 Poem No. 1 for viola and piano, dedicated to Bernard Shore; his 1949 Divertimento for four violas, which was written for and dedicated to Harry Danks, and his 1950 Concertante for four violas, dedicated to Lionel Tertis. On 4 January 1950 Harding's Divertimento for four violas was broadcast on the BBC by the composer and three colleagues from the BBC Symphony Orchestra – Harry Danks, Jacqueline Townshend and Stanley Wootton. In March 1980 a Royal Academy of Music concert celebrated Harding's seventy-seventh birthday. Nine viola compositions by Harding were performed. At the centenary of his birth, in 2003, there was a centenary tribute concert at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and Workshop which featured several of Harding's compositions.

Albert King Calder (April 21, 1898 – June 28, 1964) was an American film, television and theatre actor. Early life Calder in Baltimore, Maryland. He began his career in 1929, where Calder appeared in the Broadway play, titled, The Humbug, playing the role of "Dr. Norman Ware". He also appeared in other theatre productions for which Calder appeared in the production of the stage play My Sister Eileen for which he performed in over 500 performances for the role of a journalist. Calder then was shifted to a Chicago, Illinois stage company, in which he then appeared in numerous theatre productions for which he performed in stage plays. His final theatre credit was in 1951. Career Calder began his film and television career in 1949, where he appeared in the anthology television series The Clock. He starred in the crime drama television series Martin Kane, Private Eye from 1952 to 1954, in which he played the role of "Lt. Gray". Calder also co-starred in playing the role of "Joe Armstrong" in the 1956 film Time Table. He guest-starred in television programs, including, The Fugitive, Trackdown, Man with a Camera, Bat Masterson, Tales of Wells Fargo, The Virginian, The Twilight Zone, Rawhide, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Mr. Lucky, State Trooper and The Untouchables. His film credits includes, Wall of Noise, Mardi Gras, The Rains of Ranchipur, Three Came to Kill, On the Threshold of Space, Everything's Ducky and Hong Kong Confidential. Death Calder died in June 1964 of a heart attack at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 67. He was buried in Ferncliff Cemetery.

Live City Sounds is a live album by the American musician Mary Lou Lord, released in 2001. It was a return to Lord's busking roots. The album was originally sold via mail, before being reissued by Rubric Records. Production The album includes covers of songs by Richard Thompson, Big Star, and the Magnetic Fields, among others. Lord recorded the album on a newly purchased portable DAT recorder, which she returned within 30 days for a refund. The songs were captured at Park Street station, in Boston, and at Harvard Square. A studio recording of "Speeding Motorcycle", a cover of the Daniel Johnston song, was included on the reissue. Critical reception No Depression wrote that "Lord proves a particularly strong interpreter of Richard Thompson’s work, jangling through '1952 Vincent Black Lightning' and delicately rendering 'Beeswing'." Entertainment Weekly noted that the highlights include "a pair of motorcycle odes by Richard Thompson and Daniel Johnston, and a languid take on Springsteen's 'Thunder Road' that recasts it as the daydream it probably always was." Trouser Press declared that "the performances, unembellished and heartfelt, are perfect." The Boston Globe thought that "her imitations feel more like tributes than ripoffs." The Chicago Tribune determined that the album "finds Lord's warm, waif-ish voice most moving on ballads but stretched on less sedate material." AllMusic wrote: "As a whole, this disc serves as a startling reemergence of Mary Lou Lord onto the indie folk rock scene. With more than her share of negative press from detractors, Lord lets the music speak for her. The music remains charming, simple, and powerful." The Encyclopedia of Popular Music concluded that Live City Sounds "outshone her studio work." Track listing References Mary Lou Lord albums 2001 live albums

Beginning in the 1920s, steam locomotives were gradually retired and replaced by diesel and electric locomotives. The timeframe of this process varied by country. North and South America United States The first diesel locomotives appeared on the Central Railroad of New Jersey in 1925 and on the New York Central in 1927. Since then, diesel locomotives began to appear in mainline service in the United States in the mid-1930s. Compared to steam, diesel power reduced maintenance costs dramatically while increasing locomotive availability. On the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, new units delivered over a year, compared with about for a mainline steam locomotive. World War II delayed dieselisation in the US until the late 1940s; in 1949, the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad became the first large mainline railroad to convert completely to diesel locomotives, and Life Magazine ran an article on 5 December 1949 titled "The GM&O puts all its steam engines to torch, becomes first major US railroad to dieselize 100%". The manufacture of new steam locomotives for stateside use decreased as dieselization continued. The Lima Locomotive Works was perhaps the last commercial builder of steam locomotives, with the final order completed being for ten “Berkshires” for the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad in 1949. The last steam locomotive manufactured for general service in the United States would follow in 1953: a Norfolk and Western , built in the railroad's Roanoke Shops. 1960 is normally considered the final year of regular Class 1 main line standard gauge steam operation in the United States, with operations on the Grand Trunk Western, Illinois Central, Norfolk and Western, and Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Railroads, as well as Canadian Pacific operations in Maine. The Grand Trunk Western did, however, use some steam power for regular passenger trains until 1961, the last instance of this occurring unannounced on trains 56 and 21 in the Detroit area on 20 September 1961 with 6323, one day before its flue time expired. The last steam-powered standard-gauge regular freight service by a class 1 railroad came little over a year later on the isolated Leadville branch of the Colorado and Southern (Burlington Route) on 11 October 1962 with 2-8-0 641. Narrow-gauge steam was used for freight service by the Denver and Rio Grande Western on the run from Alamosa, Colorado, to Farmington, New Mexico, via Durango until service ceased on 6 December 1968. The Union Pacific Railroad is the only Class I railroad in the US to have never completely dieselised, at least nominally. It has always had at least one operational steam locomotive, Union Pacific 844, on its roster. Some US shortlines continued steam operations into the 1960s and beyond; the Northwestern Steel and Wire mill in Sterling, Illinois continued to operate steam locomotives until December 1980, and the Crab Orchard and Egyptian Railway, which had used steam since its inception in 1973, continued until September 1986. By this time, around 1,800 of the over 160,000 steam locomotives built in the United States between 1830 and 1950 still existed, with a fraction still in operating condition at museums, on tourist railroads, or in use on mainline excursions. Mexico On the contiguous North American standard gauge network across Canada, Mexico and the United States, the use of standard gauge main line steam locomotion using s built in 1946 for handling freight between Mexico City and Irapuato lasted until 1968. The Mexican Pacific line, a standard gauge short line in the state of Sinaloa, was reported in August 1987 to still be using steam, with a roster of one , two s and one . Other countries In Paraguay, wood-burning steam locomotives operated until 1999. Europe Britain Trials of diesel locomotives and railcars began in Britain in the 1930s but made only limited progress. One problem was that British diesel locomotives were often seriously under-powered compared with the steam locomotives against which they were competing. Moreover, labour and coal were relatively cheap. After 1945, problems associated with post-war reconstruction and the availability of cheap domestic-produced coal kept steam in widespread use throughout the two following decades. However the ready availability of cheap oil led to new dieselisation programmes from 1955, and these began to take full effect from around 1962. By then it was apparent that steam locomotives had reached their limit in terms of power within the restrictive British loading gauge, with no scope for larger boilers or cylinders even if mechanical firing were to be employed. Towards the end of the steam era, steam motive power fell into a state of disrepair. The last steam locomotive built for mainline British Railways was 92220 Evening Star, which was completed in March 1960. The last steam-hauled service trains on the British Railways network ran in 1968, but the use of steam locomotives in British industry continued into the 1980s. In June 1975, there were still 41 locations where steam was in regular use, and many more where engines were maintained in reserve in case of diesel failures. Gradually, the decline of the ironstone quarries, steel, coal mining and shipbuilding industries – and the plentiful supply of redundant British Rail diesel shunters as replacements – led to the end of steam power for commercial uses. Several hundred rebuilt and preserved steam locomotives are still used on preserved volunteer-run 'heritage' railway lines in the UK. A proportion of the locomotives are regularly used on the national rail network by private operators where they run special excursions and touring trains. A new steam locomotive, the LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado has been built (began service in 2009), and more are in the planning stage. Germany After the Second World War, Germany was divided into the Federal Republic of Germany, with the Deutsche Bundesbahn (founded in 1949) as the new state-owned railway, and the German Democratic Republic (GDR), where railway service continued under the old pre-war name Deutsche Reichsbahn. For a short period after the war, both the Bundesbahn (DB) and Reichsbahn (DR) still placed orders for new steam locomotives. They needed to renew the rolling stock, mostly with steam locomotives designed for accelerated passenger trains. Many of the existing predecessors of those types of steam locomotives in Germany had been lost in the battles or simply reached the end of their lifetime, such as the famous Prussian P 8. There was no need for new freight train engines, however, because thousands of the Classes 50 and 52 had been built during the Second World War. Because the concept of the so-called "Einheitslokomotiven", the standard locomotives built in the 1920s and 1930s, and still in wide use, was already outdated in the pre-war era, a whole new design for the new steam locomotives was developed by DB and DR, called "Neubaudampflokomotiven" (new-build steam locomotives). The steam locomotives made by the DB in West Germany, under the guidance of Friedrich Witte, represented the latest evolution in steam locomotive construction including fully welded frames, high-performance boilers and roller bearings on all moving parts. Although these new DB classes (10, 23, 65, 66 and 82) were said to be among the finest and best-performing German steam locomotives ever built, none of them exceeded 25 years in service. The last one, 23 105 (still preserved), went into service in 1959. The Democratic Republic in East Germany began a similar procurement plan, including engines for a narrow gauge. The DR-Neubaudampflokomotiven were the classes 23.10, 25.10, 50.40, 65.10, 83.10, 99.23-24 and 99.77-79. The purchase of new-build steam locomotives by the DR ended in 1960 with 50 4088, the last standard-gauge steam locomotive built in Germany. No locomotive of the classes 25.10 and 83.10 was in service for more than 17 years. The last engines of the classes 23.10, 65.10 and 50.40 were retired in the late 1970s, with some units older than 25 years. Some of the narrow-gauge locomotives are still in service for tourism purposes. Later, during the early 1960s, the DR developed a way to reconstruct older locomotives to conform with contemporary requirements. The high-speed locomotive 18 201 and the class 01.5 are examples of designs from that programme. Around 1960, the Bundesbahn in West Germany began to phase out all steam-hauled trains over a period of ten years, but still had about 5,000 of them in running condition. Even though DB were very assertive in continuing the electrification on the main lines – in 1963 they reached of electrified routes – and dieselisation with new developed stock, they had not completely removed steam locomotives within the ten-year goal. In 1972, the Hamburg and Frankfurt departments of the DB rail networks became the first to no longer operate steam locomotives in their areas. The remaining steam locomotives began to gather in rail yards in Rheine, Tübingen, Hof, Saarbrücken, Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck and others, which soon became popular with rail enthusiasts. In 1975, DB's last steam express train made its final run on the Emsland-Line from Rheine to Norddeich in the upper north of Germany. Two years later, on 26 October 1977, the heavy freight engine 44 903 (computer-based new number 043 903–4) made her final run at the same railway yard. After this date, no regular steam service took place on the network of the DB until their privatisation in 1994. In the GDR, the Reichsbahn continued steam operation until 1988 on standard gauge tracks for economic and political reasons, despite strong efforts to phase out steam being made since the 1970s. The last locomotives in service where of the classes 50.35 and 52.80, which hauled goods trains on rural main and branch lines. Unlike the DB, there was never a large concentration of steam locomotives in just a few yards in the East, because throughout the DR network the infrastructure for steam locomotives remained intact until the end of the GDR in 1990. This was also the reason that there was never a strict "final cut" at steam operations, with the DR continuing to use steam locomotives from time to time until they merged with the DB in 1994. On their narrow-gauge lines, however, steam locomotives continued to be used on a daily year-round basis, mainly for tourist reasons. The largest of these is the Harzer Schmalspurbahn (Harz Narrow Gauge Railways) network in the Harz Mountains, but the lines in Saxony and on the coast of the Baltic Sea are also notable. Even though all former DR narrow-gauge railways have undergone privatisation, steam operations are still commonplace there. Today, the fastest steam locomotive worldwide is the German DR 18 201 (BR 18.201, Baureihe 18.201). The German express locomotive, number 18 201 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany, appeared in 1960–61 at Meiningen Steam Locomotive Works as a conversion of the Henschel-Wegmann train locomotive 61 002, the tender from 44 468 and parts of H 45 024 and Class 41. It is the fastest operational steam locomotive in the world. Russia In the USSR, although the first mainline diesel-electric locomotive was built in USSR in 1924, the last steam locomotive (model П36, serial number 251) was built in 1956; it is now in the Museum of Railway Machinery at the former Warsaw Rail Terminal, Saint Petersburg. In the European part of the USSR, almost all steam locomotives were replaced by diesel and electric locomotives in the 1960s; in Siberia and Central Asia, state records verify that L-class s and LV-class s were not retired until 1985. Until 1994, Russia had at least 1,000 steam locomotives stored in operable condition in case of "national emergencies". Other countries In Finland, the first diesels were introduced in the mid-1950s, superseding steam locomotives by the early 1960s. State railways (VR) operated steam locomotives until 1975. In the Netherlands, the first electric trains appeared in 1908, making the trip from Rotterdam to The Hague. The first diesels were introduced in 1934. As electric and diesel trains performed so well, the decline of steam started just after World War II, with steam traction ending in 1958. In Poland, on non-electrified tracks, steam locomotives were superseded almost entirely by diesels by the 1990s. A few steam locomotives, however, operate in the regularly scheduled service from Wolsztyn. After ceasing on 31 March 2014, regular service resumed out of Wolsztyn on 15 May 2017 with weekday runs to Leszno. This operation is maintained as a means of preserving railway heritage and as a tourist attraction. Apart from that, numerous railway museums and heritage railways (mostly narrow gauge) own steam locomotives in working condition. In France, steam locomotives have not been used for commercial services since 24 September 1975. In Spain, the first electric trains were introduced en 1911, and the first diesels in 1935, just one year before the Spanish Civil War. National railway company (Renfe) operated steam locomotives until 9 June 1975. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, some steam locomotives are still used for industrial purposes, for example at the coal mine in Banovići and ArcelorMittal factory in Zenica. Asia China China continued to build mainline steam locomotives until the late 20th century, even building a few examples for American tourist operations. China was the last main-line user of steam locomotives, with use ending officially on the Jitong line at the end of 2005. Some steam locomotives are still in use in industrial operations in China. Some coal and other mineral operations maintain an active roster of China Railways JS (建设, "Jiànshè") or China Railways SY (上游, "Shàngyóu") steam locomotives bought secondhand from China Railway. The last steam locomotive built in China was SY 1772, finished in 1999. at least six Chinese steam locomotives exist in the United States – 3 QJs bought by the Rail Development Corporation (Nos. 6988 and 7081 for IAIS and No. 7040 for R.J. Corman), a JS bought by the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, and two SYs. No. 142 (formerly No. 1647) is owned by the NYSW for tourist operations, re-painted and modified to represent a 1920s-era US locomotive; No. 58 is operated by the Valley Railroad and has been modified to represent New Haven Railroad number 3025. Japan Owing to the destruction of much of the nation's infrastructure during the Second World War, and the cost of electrification and dieselisation, new steam locomotives were built in Japan until 1960. The number of Japanese steam locomotives reached a peak of 5,958 in 1946. With the booming post-war Japanese economy, steam locomotives were gradually withdrawn from main line service beginning in the early 1960s, and were replaced with diesel and electric locomotives. They were relegated to branch line and sub-main line services for several more years until the late 1960s, when electrification and dieselisation began to increase. From 1970 onwards, steam locomotion was gradually abolished on the JNR: Shikoku (April 1970) Kanto area (Tokyo) (October 1970), Kinki (Osaka, Kyoto area) (September 1973) Chubu (Nagoya, Nagano area) (April 1974), Tohoku (November 1974), Chugoku (Yamaguchi area) (December 1974) Kyushu (January 1975) Hokkaido (March 1976) The last regular steam passenger train, pulled by a C57-class locomotive built in 1940, departed from Muroran railway station to Iwamizawa on 14 December 1975. It was then officially retired from service, dismantled and sent to the Tokyo Transportation Museum, where it was inaugurated as an exhibit on 14 May 1976. It was moved to the Saitama Railway Museum in early 2007. The last Japanese main line steam train, D51-241, a D51-class locomotive built in 1939, left Yubari railway station on 24 December 1975. That same day, all steam main line service ended. D51-241 was retired on 10 March 1976, and destroyed in a depot fire a month later, though some parts were preserved. On 2 March 1976, the only steam locomotive still operating on the JNR, 9600–39679, a 9600-class locomotive built in 1920, made its final journey from Oiwake railway station, ending 104 years of steam locomotion in Japan. Today steam passenger trains are operated by JR companies on an infrequent excursion/nostalgia basis, their services always prefixed with the letters SL (for steam liner). Examples are SL Hitoyoshi and SL Ginga. South Korea The first steam locomotive in South Korea (Korea at the time) was the Moga (Mogul) 2-6-0, which first ran on 9 September 1899 on the Gyeong-In Line. Other South Korean steam locomotive classes include the Sata, Pureo, Ame, Sig, Mika (USRA Heavy Mikado), Pasi (USRA Light Pacific), Hyeogi (Narrow gauge), Class 901, Mateo, Sori and Tou. Used until 1967, the Pasi 23 is now in the Railroad Museum. India New steam locomotives were built in India well into the early 1970s; the last broad-gauge steam locomotive to be manufactured, Last Star, a WG-class locomotive (No. 10560) was built in June 1970, followed by the last meter-gauge locomotive in February 1972. Steam locomotion continued to predominate on Indian Railways through the early 1980s; in fiscal year 1980–81, there were 7,469 steam locomotives in regular service, compared to 2,403 diesels and 1,036 electrics. Subsequently, steam locomotion was gradually phased out from regular service, beginning with the Southern Railway Zone in 1985; the number of diesel and electric locomotives in regular service surpassed the number of steam locomotives in service in 1987–88. The first electric trains were introduced in India as part of the Bombay suburban railway system on 3 February 1925. The first metre gauge diesel locomotives were introduced in 1955 and broad gaue in 1957. All regular broad-gauge steam service in India ended in 1995, with the final run made from Jalandhar to Ferozpur on 6 December. The last meter-gauge and narrow-gauge steam locomotives in regular service were retired in 2000. After being withdrawn from service, most steam locomotives were scrapped, though some have been preserved in various railway museums. The only steam locomotives remaining in regular service are on India's heritage lines. Other countries In Thailand, all steam locomotives were withdrawn from service between the late 1960s and early 1970s. Most were scrapped in 1980. However, there are about 20 to 30 locomotives preserved for exhibit in important or end-of-the-line stations throughout the country. During the late 1980s, six locomotives were restored to running condition. Most are JNR-built steam locomotives with the exception of a single . Indonesia has also used steam locomotives since 1876. The last batch of E10 rack tank locomotives were purchased in 1967 (Kautzor, 2010) from Nippon Sharyo. The last locomotives – the D 52 class, manufactured by the German firm Krupp in 1954 – operated until 1994, when they were replaced by diesel locomotives. Indonesia also purchased the last batch of mallet locomotives from Nippon Sharyo, to be used on the Aceh Railway. In Sumatra Barat (West Sumatra) and Ambarawa some rack railways (with a maximum gradient of 6% in mountainous areas) are now operated for tourism only. There are two rail museums in Indonesia, Taman Mini and Ambarawa (Ambarawa Railway Museum). In the Philippines, the Manila Railroad retired its entire steam locomotive fleet from mainline service by August 1956 as part of the agency's efforts towards dieselisation. All but three tank locomotives were scrapped by its successor, the Philippine National Railways. The last of such engines ordered were ten Manila Railroad 300 class locomotives in 1951. However, steam locomotives continue to operate in Negros Island for much of the later 20th and the 21st centuries. One sugar mill operates two 0-6-0 steam locomotives as of 2020. Pakistan Railways still has a regular steam locomotive service; a line operates in the North-West Frontier Province and in Sindh. It has been preserved as a "nostalgia" service for tourism in exotic locales, and is specifically advertised as being for "steam buffs". In Sri Lanka, one steam locomotive is maintained for private service to power the Viceroy Special. Africa South Africa In South Africa, the last new steam locomotives purchased were Garratts from Hunslet Taylor for the gauge lines in 1968. Another class 25NC locomotive, No. 3450, nicknamed the "Red Devil" because of its colour scheme, received modifications including a prominent set of double side-by-side exhaust stacks. In southern Natal, two former South African Railway gauge NGG16 Garratts operating on the privatised Port Shepstone and Alfred County Railway (ACR) received some L.D. Porta modifications in 1990, becoming a new NGG16A class. By 1994 almost all commercial steam locomotives were put out of service, although many of them are preserved in museums or at railway stations for public viewing. Today only a few privately owned steam locomotives are still operating in South Africa, including the ones being used by the 5-star luxury train Rovos Rail, and the tourist trains Outeniqua Tjoe Choo, Apple Express and (until 2008) Banana Express. Oceania By March 1973 in Australia, steam was no longer used for industrial purposes. Diesel locomotives were more efficient and the demand for manual labour for service and repairs was less than for steam. Cheap oil also had cost advantages over coal. Regular scheduled steam services operated from 1998 until 2004 on the West Coast Railway. In New Zealand's North Island, steam traction ended in 1968 when AB 832 (now stored at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland, but owned by the Museum of Transport & Technology) hauled a Farmers Trading Company "Santa Special" from Frankton Junction to Claudelands. In the South Island, due to the inability of the new DJ class diesel locomotives to provide in-train steam heating, steam operations continued using the J and JA class tender locomotives on the overnight Christchurch-Invercargill expresses, Trains 189/190, until 1971. By this time sufficient FS steam-heating vans were available, thus allowing the last steam locomotives to be withdrawn. Two AB class tender locomotives, AB 778 and AB 795, were retained at Lyttelton to steam-heat the coaches for the Boat Trains between Christchurch and Lyttelton, until they were restored for the Kingston Flyer tourist train in 1972.

Nancie Schermerhorn Struever (born December 2, 1928) is an American historian of the Renaissance. She is a professor emerita in the department of comparative thought and literature at the Johns Hopkins Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences where she joined the faculty in 1974. Struever was previously a professor at the Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Early life and education Nancie Schermerhorn Struever was born December 2, 1928 in LaSalle, Illinois. She is the daughter of Olive M. Schermerhorn. She graduated from LaSalle-Peru High School in June 1945. From 1945 to 1946, Struever attended Frances Shimer Academy where she won the Elizabeth Percy Konrad trophy for excellence in English and the Phi Theta Kappa scholastic award. She majored in history during her junior an senior year at Connecticut College from 1946 to 1948. Struever married Carl C. Struever Jr., an engineer at Eastman Kodak. She later completed a bachelor's degree in history at the University of Rochester College for Women where she graduated with distinction and Phi Beta Kappa in June 1954. She completed a M.A. in English in June 1957 at the University of Rochester. Her master's thesis conducted under advisor was titled, A Comparison of the Historical Method and Literary Style of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Tomas Carlyle's French Revolution. Struever commenced her doctoral studies in May 1961 under advisor Hayden White. While completing graduate courses, she studied Greek at the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. During the school year 1963 to 1964, she was awarded a $3,000 fellowship by the American Association of University Women, allowing her to spend a summer Florence. While there, she researched in the Archivio di Stato di Firenze and read Florentine manuscripts at the British Museum. Stuever was an instructor in the history department at Hobart and William Smith Colleges beginning in 1964. In 1966, Struever completed a Ph.D. in medieval history. Her her dissertation was titled, Rhetoric and Historical Consciousness in Italian Humanism; Rhetorical and Historical Modes in Coluccio Salutati, Leonardo Bruni, and Poggio Bracciolini. The dissertation became the basis of her first book published in 1970. At the time she completed her doctorate, Struever had a daughter and son in college and her youngest son was a freshmen in high school. In a 1971 interview, Struever shared of her experiences as a doctoral student that, "...attitudes among the faculty ranged from encouraging to horrified. My worst problem was that U of R would not give me a graduate fellowship, because history obviously could only be my avocation, not my vocation. They didn't think I could be serious, so I spent two years as a teaching assistant without pay, in order to get my teaching credits." Career In 1971, Struever, a professor of history at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, was awarded an American Council of Learned Societies fellowship that she would use to take a sabbatical from 1972 to 1973 in Italy to research for her second book. In 1974, Struever became a professor at Johns Hopkins University. In 1990, Struever was the president of the . In March 1998, the humanities center at Johns Hopkins sponsored a symposium in honor of her retirement. Personal life In 1974, Struever moved to Tuscany-Canterbury, Baltimore. Struever's sons Bill and Fred are real estate developers in Baltimore. She owns a home in Maine.

Olivia Durant is originally from Pittsburgh and came to national prominence from being legally blind at birth, then regaining eyesight in 2016 thanks to a surgical procedure at The Eye Center of New York. This life changing occurrence garnered national media attention and increasing public interest in Olivia's inspirational story. She's been featured on Good Morning America and also been the subject of numerous articles including Buzzfeed and The Insider. Early Years Olivia Durant has described a visit to an eye doctor when she was a child. According to Durant, the doctor diagnosed her eyes as “weak” and dubbed her legally blind, despite the fact she did possess limited vision. Durant was prescribed glasses with two inch thick concave lenses, then corrective contact lenses at age nine that provided a small amount of peripheral vision, albeit blurred. She's described difficulty visually recognizing people and told a story about becoming separated from her grandmother in a department store, then mistakenly running into the arms of a stranger. Incidents like this made Durant wary and scared through much of her childhood. With effort and strategically positioned lighting sources, Durant has recounted being able to laboriously read books. She also used memorization and other mental methods to navigate her surroundings without assistance. During her interviews, Durant has also discussed being ostracized and bullied by other children growing up. During her teenage years, an eye doctor casually mentioned to Durant the possibility of an operation that might improve her vision, but it was cost prohibitive. Later Years During her early thirties, the prospect of undergoing an operation to increase Olivia Durant’s eyesight became more probable after the onset of cataracts. Insurance would not cover the restorative surgery due to her being legally blind, but could cover the cataract operation. Fortunately, the other surgery could be included along with. Durant has described the risks this surgery entailed due to her having a deformed retina that, if damaged, could cause her to lose what little eyesight she had. Nevertheless, she was willing to take this risk. She searched for nearly a year to find the right surgeon. After the surgery proved successful, Durant has discussed the unique identity crisis she underwent from being legally blind to having eyesight. Seeing her reflection in a mirror for the first time was revelatory and also disorienting. Not accustomed to her own image, Durant would automatically say “hello” to mirrors she passed in stores and other locations she experienced for the first time as a sighted person. Present Day Durant described in a series of TikTok videos how the operation gave her a second chance at life and a desire to make up for lost time. She began watching movies and TV shows she’d missed while legally blind, sought new adventures such as taking up boxing and becoming an aerialist. Durant also stated how she reexamined the world through fresh eyes while seeing as much as possible with a positive mental attitude and sharing that viewpoint with others. Sharing her story on social media garnered immediate national attention, multiple interviews and a desire for Durant to give speeches pertaining to her unique experiences and points of view on life. Mixed Martial Arts One of the most interesting of Olivia Durant’s adventures, post gaining eyesight, is when she talks about training to be an MMA fighter, explaining how this was a direct reaction to being bullied growing up by then faceless attackers. She could now see her opponents and fight back. Columbo During the pandemic Durant has regaled how she became a fan of Columbo and watched episodes every Sunday morning. She’s also used the story of actor Peter Falk, who played the role wearing a glass eye, as an example of someone overcoming a visual disability and excelling in their field. Intervention (convention) Besides being an keynote speaker and influencer, Durant is also a producer for technology, theater and live events. Durant was the driving force behind Intervention (convention), a yearly Internet culture convention held in Rockville, Maryland from 2010 to 2016.

The Israelite High School was a school of the Jewish community of Timișoara. The high school operated between 1919 and 1948, with a number of about 700 students. It had four middle school classes for girls, eight theoretical high school classes for boys and eight commercial high school classes for boys. After 1948, the Sports High School and the High School of Fine Arts operated in its premises. In 2003, the high school buildings were returned to Caritatea Foundation, which in 2014 sold them as land. The current owner wants an urban development that involves the demolition of buildings, which has caused much controversy, both regarding the preservation of the historical heritage of Timișoara, and about what is to be built in place. History Beginnings of Jewish education The first mention of Jewish education in Timișoara comes from the tombstone of Azriel Assad (d. 1636), rabbi and surgeon, in Timișoara's Sephardic cemetery. Children were taught to read, write and count in cheder in Talmud. With the development of the city and as a result of the gradual liberalization of the political regime in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Jewish community in Timișoara also evolved, reaching almost 7,000 people during World War I (about 10% of the population). Although large, the community did not even have its own primary school. In the 18th and 19th centuries until 1867, education was based on the German language. In the middle of the 19th century, in addition to the traditional religious schools, there were intermittently several Jewish primary schools with German language in Timișoara. Since 1867, the Law of Nationalities (Law XLIV) has considered Jews to be Hungarian citizens of Mosaic faith, and the Education Law (Law XXXVIII) provided for compulsory education, but with Hungarian as the official language of instruction, which led to their rapid assimilation. The desire to avoid complete assimilation and some anti-Semitic manifestations led to the need to establish their own secular schools, but in which the Hebrew language, Judaism and the tradition of the Jewish holidays were taught. But the Jewish society was divided, there were three currents, which had different positions: the Neolog faction (modernist – which recognized the decisions of the Congress of Jewish Communities in Hungary and Transylvania, held in Pest in 1868–1869), the Orthodox one (traditionalist – which rejected these decisions) and the status quo ante one, which ruled in favor of maintaining the pre-congress situation. The teaching of specific subjects, especially religion, differed, so that the schools of each community could only be confessional, which deprived them of the support that state schools received. However, in 1917, on the initiative of teacher Marmorek and with the support of the Hatikva Society, the first Jewish kindergarten was established, and in the following year, the first Israelite primary school (the one in the Iosefin district), under the direction of . Establishment of Israelite high schools At the end of World War I, the Jews of Banat and Transylvania organized themselves into the National Union of Jews of Banat and Transylvania, a body aimed at recognizing Jews as a national minority. This, based on the , created the premise of training in one's own language, in this case Hebrew. At the request addressed to the Resort of Cults and Instruction within the Governing Council by the president of the community, Adolf Vértes, and on the basis of an oral authorization (written approval – authorization no. 23527/1919 – will come only on 2 January 1920), on 4 October 1919, the Israelite Confessional High School began its activity, with 650 students, 401 boys and 249 girls (in mixed classes, co-education system). Of these, 70 were non-Jews. As the mother tongue of all the students was Hungarian, it was designated as the language of instruction, and there were also Hebrew classes. The director of the high school was Victor Déznai. Not yet having its own premises, the courses were held in various places: Lloyd Palace, the headquarters of the Jewish community in Cetate, the Politehnica building on Carol Telbisz Street and other schools. From the beginning there were discussions, the rabbis demanded separate religious classes for the three communities, a requirement that was rejected, but a single program was adopted. However, confessional schools did not have the right to advertise (diplomas issued by them were not recognized). This right was reserved for state schools; as a result, efforts were made to make the high school state-owned. Since Banat now belonged to Romania, in order to become a state high school, it had to comply with Romanian legislation in the field of education. The requirements were: giving up co-education (separate classes for boys and girls), the state language (Romanian) as the language of instruction (there were classes for other languages: Hebrew, Hungarian, German and French, studied as foreign languages), teachers to be Romanian citizens, the Romanian language to be taught by state teachers, to respect the state curriculum and the regulations in force, to teach according to the approved textbooks, to ensure the salaries and pensions of non-state teachers and to have their own premises. The most difficult task was the language of instruction. The students did not know enough Romanian or Hebrew to study the various subjects. The Romanian language was considered useful for the future in Romania, and the Hebrew language for contacts abroad, and the Hungarian language was maintained as a transitional language. It was decided that from the school year 1926/1927 the Romanian language and literature, the history and geography of Romania should be taught in Romanian; the language, literature and history of the Jews, as well as religion to be taught in Hebrew; Hungarian language and literature in this language, and other objects in Romanian or Hebrew. The operation of the high school is confirmed by the authorizations no. 51, 52 and 53/1928 issued by the Ministry of National Education. Another major problem was securing its own premises. For this purpose, steps were taken at the town hall to purchase a plot of land of about 8,000 m2, a block currently located between Constantin Diaconovici Loga Boulevard, 20 December 1989 Street, Mihai Eminescu Boulevard and Patriarch Miron Cristea Street. There, on the north side, towards Mihai Eminescu Boulevard, the high school building was built, financed from offertories and donations of the Jewish community. The architects were Jaques Klein and Gideon Neubauer. Initially, in the form put into operation in 1923, the building had a single level and had 16 classrooms, one for gymnastics, one for drawing, a physics and chemistry laboratory, a 1,600-volume library, a chancellery and a principal's office. In 1928 the building was raised. On the ground floor there was a girls' gymnasium and a boys' theoretical high school, and on the first floor there was a boys' commercial high school. Also in 1928, on the south side, towards Constantin Diaconovici Loga Boulevard, built the boarding school building. The building is made in an eclectic style, with elements of Secession and classicism. The boarding school was planned to accommodate 60 students. Israelite High School during World War II In 1936, the Ministry of Cults and Public Instruction banned religious education for Jewish students in state school buildings. On 29 August 1940, the Gigurtu Cabinet limited the access of Jewish students to high schools and universities to 6%. The decree-law of 11 October 1940 excluded Jews from all state schools, but left open the possibility of establishing their own primary and secondary schools, with exclusively Jewish teachers and students. Under these conditions, the Israelite High School in Timișoara continued its activity during the Antonescu regime, receiving students excluded from other schools. But in the autumn of 1940, the high school building was requisitioned. In 1941, the German military hospital was installed upstairs. In 1942, the entire high school was evacuated, the building becoming the headquarters of the Timișoara Police Headquarters. The courses of the boys' high school continued in the premises of the Israelite Primary School in Fabric (1 Ion Luca Caragiale Street) and in the premises of the Fabric Synagogue, of the commercial high school in the yard of the Fabric Synagogue, and of the girls' gymnasium in the community premises (5 Gheorghe Lazăr Street) or in different private homes. Some of the students, born in 1925, were sent to work detachments as early as April 1943. However, they did not drop out of school, but continued to attend classes in the hours after work. The school, in turn, facilitated this by the fact that the lessons were scheduled after 2 p.m. On 24–26 December 1939, the Israelite High School in Timișoara hosted the 16th and last Conference of the National Jewish Union in Transylvania (, abbreviated ZsNSz). After 23 August 1944 After the coup d'état of 23 August 1944, the high school regained its headquarters and the right to advertise. At the 1945 Politehnica entrance exam, out of the first 20 admitted, 19 were among the graduates of the Israelite High School. The high school ceased its activity in 1948 as a result of the education reform, through which the private and confessional schools were abolished, its patrimony being transferred to state ownership. Until 1948, the high school functioned with four classes of girls' gymnasium, eight classes of boys' theoretical high school and eight classes of boys' commercial high school. After 1948, the Sports High School and the High School of Fine Arts operated in its premises. Retrocession and subsequent evolutions In November 2003, based on Law no. 501/2002 on the restitution of real estate belonging to religious denominations in Romania, the high school buildings were returned to the Caritatea Foundation, which manages the cultural and spiritual heritage of Jews in Romania. The High School of Fine Arts was allowed to function here until 2008 on lease. Due to a significant increase in rent, in 2011 the city hall decided to relocate the high school. Faced with strong opposition from teachers and students' parents, the city hall refused to pay for high school's utilities to force its relocation. The High School of Fine Arts was eventually relocated in 2013. In 2010, the Caritatea Foundation announced its intention to sell the property. All potential buyers were only interested in the land and not in the buildings they sought to demolish. Because it is located in a historic area designated for conservation, in 2014 the municipality was asked by Caritatea to remove this classification of buildings. In 2014, the Caritatea Foundation sold the buildings and adjacent plots to a Cluj-Napoca-based private company for five million euros. The site was intended for demolition for the purpose of widening traffic arteries and building a mixed-use development with a 47-meter-high sightseeing tower. After debates and civic protests, the investor agreed that the high school and boarding school should not be demolished, but included in the new real estate complex. The idea of building a sightseeing tower was also abandoned, as it would have exceeded the height regime of the buildings in the area. Instead, a museum of the Jewish community in Timișoara will be built here, as well as multifunctional spaces for cultural and tourist activities, commercial spaces, an art gallery, a museum of contemporary art and a 450-space parking lot. The project was approved by the local council in November 2019. The former boarding school hosted the County School Inspectorate until July 2019, when it was temporarily moved to the former building of the Banatul Water Basin Administration until the completion of the new headquarters at the former Petru Botiș Agricultural Technological High School in Aradului.

Lajos Ernst Lajos Ernst Lajos Ernst Lajos Lajos Ernst ( born on April 20, 1872, died in April 1937) was a Hungarian collector, patron, museum director, member of the Szinyei Merse Pál Society. (Rare family name variant: Ernszt) Biography Lajos Ernst came from a wealthy Jewish family, the son of Mór merchant and Róza Steiner. He was 15 when he started collecting graphics, then other artwork. By 1894 he had lent a significant amount of paintings to exhibitions. In the same year he founded an exhibition. He had good contacts with the Hungarian painters. He recognized that the sketches were also valuable, so he collected them as well. In the following years he often arranged exhibitions. By 1894 he had founded of the National Salon, and from 1901 to 1909 he was its executive director. In this capacity, he organized several oeuvre exhibitions (Pál Szinyei Merse, Mihály Zichy, Viktor Madarász, János Vaszary). After being removed from his position, he founded the first private museum in Hungary. In 1912 he founded the first Hungarian private museum. From 1917 he held auctions. He had good relations with the artists (including Viktor Madarász, Bertalan Székely, Mór Than, Oszkár Glatz). The tomb of Lajos Ernst in Budapest. Israelite Cemetery on Kozma Street: 4-10-3. In May 1912, the Ernst Museum was opened in Budapest, at Nagymező u. Under 8, on the first floor of an apartment building built at the time. There were permanent exhibitions in 14 halls, and temporary exhibitions were held in the others. Ernst continued to organize retrospective exhibitions. Demanding catalogs of the exhibitions - edited by Béla Lázár - were published. At the time of the boom in works of art, he began organizing auctions in 1917. They held an auction twice a year, until the end of Ernst's life. The economic situation changed dramatically in the late 1920s - as a result of the economic crisis and excessive purchases, Lajos Ernst collapsed financially. His collection was encumbered with a mortgage, so an exhibition of works deposited in the Hungarian National Museum in 1933 was presented. His wife was Erzsébet Ekler, with whom she married in Budapest on September 8, 1901. [2] They divorced in 1918. In the late 1920s he went bankrupt. He killed himsel in April 1937. After his death, his collection was auctioned off and his name was almost forgotten outside the narrow professional circles of art historians and cultural historians, even though his institution has surprisingly weathered all the storms of history and still bears the name of its founder. His life's work, his career in its entirety, has not been fully explored. External links The Ernst Museum by Katalin Keserü; Ildikó Sághy, Budapest : Ernst Museum, 2002.

The national identity number (, literally "birth number"; ) is a unique eleven-digit unique identifier issued to residents and citizens of Norway. The issuing of the identity number corresponds to being registered in the National Population Register. The ID number is used throughout government administration and a number of private sector services, in particular banking and insurance. All official IDs, including passports, national ID cards, driving licenses and bank cards contain the National Identity Number. The ID number was introduced in 1964 and issued to everyone who was part of the 1960 census and has since been issued to anyone born in Norway, resident in Norway and all Norwegian citizens who have been issued a passport. D-numbers (), introduced in 1978, allow people which are not resident to be issued an ID number, for instance foreign-resident workers, or foreign land-owners. The ID numbers were initially issued by Statistics Norway, but along with the operation of the Population Register this was turned over to the Norwegian Tax Administration in 1992. It has since become a vital part of e-government services to the population. The number is in the format D1D2M1M2Y1Y2I1I2I3C1C2, where D is day of birth, M is month of birth, Y is the two least significant digits of the year of birth, I is an individual number and C are two independently calculated checksums. I1 contains information about the century of birth, while the gender is coded in I3 (females are even, males are odd numbers). Increased immigration rates combined with a policy of not reusing numbers will gradually deplete the pool of available numbers. From 2032 additional numbers will become available and the gender coding will be removed. History The initiative for the National Identity Number came from the business sector. As both the Tax Administration and the National Insurance Service were increasingly using computers for their data processing, they introduced various identification and serial numbers of people and employees. These were different across government agencies, and also between municipalities and could even change from year to year. The population register in Oslo, introduced in 1959, was at the time using an eight-digit ID-number, consisting of six digits representing the birth date and two individual numbers. The Ministry of Finance took initiative to establish a common government identity number, and the process was led by Statistics Norway. Two main systems were considered, one which encoded the person's birth date and gender, and an eight-digit number that did not carry any information. An important inspiration was the Swedish personal identity number, which had been introduced in 1947. It had a nine-digit number, led by a six-digit birth date, then had a number based on the county of birth, and a gender-encoded number. At the time a major advantage of this approach was that because the birth date and gender were encoded, it was possible to record this information without additional fields during data processing. Because it was desirable that any resident remember their own identification number, adding five digits to the end of their birth date was deemed easier for people to remember than eight arbitrary digits. The decision to introduce the numbering scheme was taken by Statistics Norway in 1964, with the backing of the Ministry of Finance, but without any legislation. Numbers were assigned to everyone who had been part of the 1960 census, even if they had died in the meantime. The oldest person to be issued a number was born in 1855. However, people who were born or immigrated after the census but had died before 1964 were not issued numbers. From the onset, the responsibility to maintain the actual registers was placed with the municipalities, who had traditionally held a register of all residents. The central register was merely an index of issued numbers. This changed in 1991, after the registers had been fully digitized and the responsibility for the content transferred to the Tax Administration. In the 1970s there was an increasing number of people with a temporary connection to Norway. Initially this was mostly sailors working on Norwegian ships, and who were therefore liable to pay taxes to Norway. D-numbers were issued from 1978, for which people who had tax or welfare obligations to Norway were issued, even though they were not residents. The "D" term refers to the Directorate of Sailors. From the 1990s D-numbers were increasingly issued to more groups of people who needed to be identified in Norway. Issuing An ID number is issued to a person when they are registered in the National Population Registry, which is operated by the Norwegian Tax Administration. Everyone born in Norway is registered and issued a number, as is everyone who later becomes a resident for more than six months. Finally, non-resident Norwegian citizens are issued a number when processing their first passport. People who emigrate from Norway retain their number for life. People who are first issued D-numbers get a new, ordinary identity number if they later become full residents. If ID numbers are issued with incorrect information, a new number is issued. Similarly, a person who undergoes a judicial sex change is issued a new ID number. Both of these issues can cause problems as the person can have documents issued to two different ID numbers. ID numbers are never reused, as they would then lose their value as a unique identifier. Numerical components The National Identity Number is eleven digits. The first six digits correspond to the person's birth date in the format DDMMYY. These six digits are referred to as the birth date. The last five digits, called the person number (), consists of three identity digits and two check digits. In human-readable places, the ID number is often written with a space between the birth date and the person number. The last identity digit (ninth overall) is coded with the person's gender: females are even and males are odd. The first identity number (seventh overall) is coded in line with the century of birth, according to the following table. For people with a birth year ending in 40–54, and where I3 is 9, this has been allocated to two centuries. For those born between 1940 and 1954 this is held as a reserve that may to used to allocate numbers to new immigrants born in those years. Because immigration numbers for these age groups is low, it is estimated that the reserve series will never be used. Check digits The last two digits of the ID number are check digit, or checksums. The check digit algorithm is the weighted sum modulo 11. The first check digit is calculated based on the first nine digits, while the second includes the first check digit in its calculation. The two use different weights. The first had been optimized to catch common errors, while the latter was IBM's default values. In its initial use, it was presumed that a resident would say their ID number to a clerk, who would write the number down in a form. There were two errors that could happen at this stage—the resident could remember their number wrong, alternatively the clerk would misunderstand the person. At the time of data processing, the form would be transferred to a punch card and there was a further chance of a punching error by the operator. A preliminary survey with Oslo residents recording their own tax number showed that common errors including the clerk misunderstanding the 9th and 10th ("niende" and "tiende") and people switching their birth day and birth month. The error correction was therefore optimized to avoid these errors. Estimates from 1964 showed an expected error rate of 50 in 100,000 transactions with one digit used for error correction, and 1 in 100,000 if two digits were used. Of this reason, two were selected. A major restriction of the algorithm was that it needed to be supported by the IBM 402 tabulating machines used by Statistics Norway at the time. The advantages of using modulo 11 is that it is able to capture all single-digit errors and all transposition errors. The downside is that this formula produces a checksum of between 0 and 10. Because only single-digit checksums are allowed, seventeen percent of potential ID numbers are discarded, reducing the pool of available ID numbers. Today, the numbers are normally typed in directly by the resident themselves. Increased use also means that people are more likely to remember their number, significantly reducing the need for control digits. Of this reason, a new series of ID numbers issued from 2032 will allow more valid checksums, allowing for increased range of numbers to be issued. D-number A D-number is issued to people who have to interact with Norwegian authorities, but are not regarded as resident in the country. D-numbers are built up with the same structures as ordinary ID numbers, with two notable differences. The first is that 4 is added to the first digit. Secondly, the century issue with digit seven is different, with people born before 1 January 2000 being issued 0 through 4, and people born on or after that day being issued 5 through 9. Commonly D-numbers are issued to European Economic Area citizens who are working in Norway or in other ways have obligations to pay tax or receive welfare benefits, without being resident; refugees while awaiting processing of the resident applications; people who open bank accounts in Norwegian banks; people who have to be registered in certain public registers; people who own securities deposited in Norway; people who own real estate in Norway; people resident in Svalbard; and people seeking authorization as health personnel. As of 2014 there were 1.3 million D-numbers issued. That year there were being issued more D-numbers than ordinary ID numbers, and it was estimated that the ability to issue D-numbers would deplete faster than with ordinary numbers. One reason for this was a disproportionate number of receives are men. Non-EEA citizens, including landed refugees, receive a DUF-number upon registering their resident applications. This twelve-digit number is only used within processing with the immigration authorities. Once a resident permit is issued, they receive an ID number. Use The National Identity Number is used as a unique identifier throughout the public sector. including in the heath sector and education. The number is normally used to identify users with e-government services; often the number is used as the user name when login in to public services and financial institutions. The number is also used by private institutions that have to report individual data to relevant government agencies, such as reporting income, assets and debt to the Tax Administration. Thus the number is used by employers, banks, insurance companies, telephone companies and housing cooperatives. Because the authorities encouraged people not not share their ID numbers without due cause, many people regarded the number as confidential. This was further exacerbated by public and private institutions at various times confusing the concepts of identification and authentication. In other words, the very knowledge of a person's ID number would be seen sufficient to authenticate them. This has never been the intention of use, and is also not lawful. Where authentication is needed, the person must either use a physical ID or an electronic authentication. The confusion caused a vicious circle, where people became increasingly reluctant to share or use their ID number, perpetuating the problem. ID numbers are easy to come by, for instance they are printed on all official ID documents and most correspondence from both the public sector, financial institutions and payslips. Identity theft due to accepting ID numbers as authentication has been common in Norway. In comparison, in Sweden and Iceland, where the ID numbers are regarded as public information, ID theft through misuse of ID numbers is a non-issue. Future From 2032 it is expected that the current series of ID numbers will be depleted. From then on all newly issued ID numbers will have three changes. First, the first check digit will allow an increased range of valid values, allowing more numbers to be used. Second, the coding of gender will disappear. Finally, the digit indicating century will be removed. For this reason, the number can no longer establish the absolute birth date of a person. The main benefit of the change is that all existing ID numbers will continue to be valid. References National identification numbers 1964 establishments in Norway
