is a fine album, one of Jenkins' best outside of the Revolutionary Ensemble, and an excellent introduction to his world." The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings commented: "Space Minds is... reminiscent of Jenkins's AACM-influenced Revolutionary Ensemble. It has the intensity — one might almost say moral intensity — of the RE's powerful... ESP recording Vietnam. Davis and Cyrille act as a twin centre of gravity to which the others make repeated reference. To that extent Jenkins is a traditionalist rather than a radical." Writing for All About Jazz in 2003, Rex Butters commented: "That this quarter century old artifact sounds as fresh as it does testifies to the vision of its creators...

Jenkins explained the album title: "Space Minds" concerns "the space age and how that will affect the minds of people in the future." "New Worlds" pertains to "the way certain things — ideas, nations — are going down and others are coming up, with science moving into new worlds... a new consciousness." Regarding "Survival of America," Jenkins stated: "America seems to be the key to the world's relations, so that means survival period."

Bhonsle was sent back to Berar with a plentiful bounty for his aid. The Maratha general judged that Nagpur must be a plentiful and rich country by the magnificence of his reward. However, dissensions continued between the brothers and once again, the elder brother Burhan Shah requested the aid of Raghuji Bhonsla. Akbar Shah was driven into exile and finally poisoned at Hyderabad. However this time, Ragoji Bhonsle did not have the heart to leave such a plentiful and rich country, with it being within his grasp. He declared himself 'protector' of the Gond king. Thus in 1743, Burhan Shah was practically made a state pensionary, with real power being in the hands of the Maratha ruler. After this event the history of the Gond kingdom of Deogarh is not recorded. A series of Maratha rulers came to power following the fall of the Gonds from the throne of Nagpur, starting with Raghoji Bhonsle. Titular rulers under the Marathas and British Raja Burhan Shah was succeeded by Rahman Shah. He was succeeded by Suleiman Shah, a minor, his	founding the city of Nagpur and building further infrastructure. However, internal bickering led to their downfall. Establishment The Gauli princes were the predecessors to the Gond house of Deogarh, ruling for 70 years from 1472 to 1542. The Gond dynasty of Deogarh was founded by a Gond named Jatba. The Indian Antiquities says that Jatba was a servant under two Gaoli princes, Ransur and Ghansur, and that he treacherously deposed them. Originally, the Gond house of Devagad hailed from Haraya or Harayagad, but later on it was shifted to Devagad about 24 miles from Haraya under Jatba. Relations with the Mughals The Ain-i-Akbari by Abul Fazl records that Jatba, the Gond king of Deogarh, was a vassal of Akbar and was paying annual tribute to him. It is said that Akbar visited Deogarh during Jatba's reign. The Ain-i-Akbari by Abul Fazl says that Jatba possessed 2,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers and 100 elephants- "To the east of the Kherla Sarkar lay the territories of a zamindar named Chatwa who possessed 2000 cavalry, 50,000 footmen and more than 100 elephants". This 'Chatwa' was probably Jatba. Decline After Chand Sultan's death in 1739, there were quarrels over the succession, leading to the thone being usurped by Wali Shah, an illegitimate son of Bakht Buland Shah. Chand Sultan's widow invoked the aid of the Maratha leader Raghuji Bhonsle of Berar in the interest of her sons Akbar Shah and Burhan Shah. Wali Shah was

Synopsis In the book Gleick researches time travel, the emergence of this idea and its usage in literature, and how it shapes life of a modern person. In an interview for National Geographic Gleick said: At some point during the four years I worked on this book, I also realized that, in one way or another, every time travel story is about death. Death is either explicitly there in the foreground or lurking in the background because time is a bastard, right? Time is brutal. What does time do to us? It kills us. Time travel is our way of flirting with immortality. It's the closest we’re going to come to it. Reception The book received mostly positive reviews. Nicola Davis of The Guardian wrote that "Time Travel is intoxicating, but that is only in part down to Gleick's execution. Much of this is well trodden ground, our enduring fascination with the notion sown long ago by many adroit hands. At times, Gleick seems to get lost in his own, sometimes opaque, musings. Parts of the book are frustratingly repetitive, while his practice of paraphrasing obscure time travel stories before analysing their finer points too often feels like the dinner party anecdote that rather feebly concludes 'Well, you had to be there really'." Nick D Burton wrote for the Wired that the book "quantum leaps from HG Wells's The Time Machine – the original – via Proust and alt-history right up to your Twitter	twist its reader's mind into those Gordian knots I so loved as a boy." Will Mann, reviewing the book for International Policy Digest, praised it though pointed that However, despite these praises, Gleick’s argument about the intersection between scientific discovery and art starts to dissipate towards the final third of the book. Some chapters, such as the penultimate one, entitled "What is Time?" less resembles a history of a subgenre within the greater science fiction canon and more resembles a heavy philosophic dissertation. Certainly, time travel is a concept that philosophers have tried to grasp and theorize about ever since its invention. Dave Goldberg wrote for Nature Physics that "As to the practical possibility of time travel, Gleick is something of a sceptic. Common sense, he argues, suggests that the past really is immutable, no matter how clever the theoretical models that imply otherwise. And despite the apparent symmetry of the microscopic laws of physics, there really is, he argues, something different

when she was 12 or 13, the family suffered economic woes and her mother remarried, resulting in Sabina being sent to the orphanage of the Putte dei Mendicanti di S. Caterina. After she arrived at the orphanage, a pharmacy was established to accommodate the needs of orphans as well as other area residents. The pharmacy was run by Margherita Trippi, who had passed a pharmaceutical review by the University of Bologna's College of Medicine in April 1796, and who began teaching pharmaceutical chemistry to Baldoncelli. Trippi had not qualified for a university degree because she was a woman, but a week after finishing her university studies, she "received the approval of the College of Medicine and her license to practice in a ceremony at the church of S. Matteo, with no restriction placed on her practice." After working and studying with Trippi for three years, Baldoncelli moved on to study with university professors: pharmaceuticals and general chemistry from Francesco Maria Coli, medicine with Professor Ungarelli and botany with Professor Scannagatta. It appears that Trippi was instrumental in making those studies possible. At the conclusion of Baldoncelli's successful studies, she had completed her coursework sufficiently to obtain a university degree	of Medicine in April 1796, and who began teaching pharmaceutical chemistry to Baldoncelli. Trippi had not qualified for a university degree because she was a woman, but a week after finishing her university studies, she "received the approval of the College of Medicine and her license to practice in a ceremony at the church of S.

It appears that Trippi was instrumental in making those studies possible. At the conclusion of Baldoncelli's successful studies, she had completed her coursework sufficiently to obtain a university degree in pharmacy. As Baldoncelli herself stressed in her 1807 petition to the Royal Directorate of Public Instruction at Milan, she had received the same education that male pharmacy students received at the university. One should also note that she had had three years of practical experience, which most male students probably lacked.Authorities in Milan authorized Baldoncelli to take the university examinations in pharmacy because she was a special case, an orphan, who lived in an orphanage. However there was a considerable restriction placed on her future work, she would only be allowed to practice pharmaceutical chemistry in the orphanage and not in secular pharmacies. Therefore, she was not allowed to practice elsewhere in Bologna even if she wanted to. Male pharmacists did not have similar restrictions placed upon their places of work. The Napolelonic era degree requirements of the time were threefold. They mandated that she had to complete a year of practice at the orphanage's pharmacy and she

In 1997, the church partnered with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's IN UNISON choral ensemble program. The church is a member of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. History The First African Baptist Church had its beginnings in 1817, when two Baptist missionaries, John Mason Peck and James Welch, established the Sabbath School for Negroes in St. Louis, with the assistance of John Berry Meachum. Meachum began preaching and assisting the missionaries in 1821. Reverend Peck provided guidance and supervision during monthly visits. Reverend Meachum, ordained by Reverend Peck in 1825, founded the First African Baptist Church in 1827. It was then independent of the missionaries. The church, described as a "plain and comfortable brick house for worship", was located at Third and Almond (now Market) Street. It was the first African-American church west of the Mississippi River. An ordinance was passed in 1825 that made it illegal for African Americans to assemble, unless they had a permit and the events were attended by a police officer. The church required enslaved people to have permission of their owners to attend the church, which eased the concerns of many influential community members. While he was transparent about who might attend church services, Meachum secretly operated a school for blacks in the basement of the church called the Tallow Candle School. It taught reading and Biblical scriptures and also provided a worship service. The school admitted all people who wished to receive an education, and it charged a monthly tuition of one dollar per pupil for those who could afford to pay. Some of the pupils chose to be baptized and become members of the church. The congregation grew from 14 people at its founding to 220 people by 1829. Two hundred of the parishioners were slaves, who could only travel to the church and attend services with the permission of their owners. The church was a stopping point on the Underground Railroad. The church grew to more than 500 people by the 1840s. On March 22, 1846, 22 or 23 of its members were released from the church and founded the Second Colored Baptist Church (now the Central Baptist Church). In most cases, the founding members had moved west of the church and desired a location closer to their homes. In 1847, the school was closed by the police. Meachum then opened the	a "plain and comfortable brick house for worship", was located at Third and Almond (now Market) Street. It was the first African-American church west of the Mississippi River.

Two hundred of the parishioners were slaves, who could only travel to the church and attend services with the permission of their owners. The church was a stopping point on the Underground Railroad. The church grew to more than 500 people by the 1840s. On March 22, 1846, 22 or 23 of its members were released from the church and founded the Second Colored Baptist Church (now the Central Baptist Church). In most cases, the founding members had moved west of the church and desired a location closer to their homes. In 1847, the school was closed by the police. Meachum then opened the Floating Freedom School on a steamboat on the Mississippi River. Since it was anchored in the Mississippi River, it was under the jurisdiction of the federal government and not subject to the Missouri laws and ordinances. A larger church was built between Fourth and Fifth Street in 1848. Meachum died while delivering a sermon in 1854. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported in 1874, that the church numbered 3,600 with 30 deacons. On the second Sunday in May of that year, 125 baptisms were performed by Rev.

People living on the north coasts of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset in South West England were warned to expect flooding, hence the "danger to life" red warning. Schools were widely closed, along with public facilities (e.g. libraries), delivery services, sea crossings, and several bridges. The Humber Bridge, Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the Orwell Bridge were closed; the closure of the Severn Bridge and the Prince of Wales Bridge made it the first time that both Severn bridges have been closed simultaneously, and the first time the Prince of Wales bridge had been closed due to wind. The Langstone Bridge closed for almost three hours over fears of high tide surges, cutting off Hayling Island as the only road to and from the settlement. The prime minister, Boris Johnson, said that the army had been placed on "standby". Authorities across the country were inundated with phone calls related to the storm, with some having to ask the public only to dial 999 if there was a risk to life. London Fire Brigade declared a major incident – receiving 1,958 calls on Friday, three times more than the previous day. The ambulance service in the South Central England region declared a critical incident due to demand on its emergency services. A gust of wind with a speed of was recorded at The Needles, Isle of Wight, the fastest gust ever recorded in England. There were several casualties, including three fatalities.

In Veurne, a truck driver was hospitalized after their truck was overturned. Czech Republic The storm had left 26,000 homes without power and several railway lines in the country were suspended. Denmark The Danish Meteorological Institute decided to give the storm the name Nora, believing the name Eunice would be difficult to pronounce in Nordic languages. Nora did not cause significant damage to Denmark, and most models suggest Nora hit it with wind speeds of 60~70 km/h (37~43 mph). They also suggested Nora hit Southern Jutland the most, particularly near the German border as this was where Nora was closest to Denmark from Germany.

Germany In Germany, Eunice was named Zeynep by the FUB, ahead of the system's impact storm tide warnings were issued near the Elbe river in preparation for winds, higher than Ylenia which impacted the area only days prior. Eunice made landfall at about midday local time, close to the mouth of the Elbe. Two people died in separate car accidents in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia in connection with the storm, authorities said. A man died after falling when trying to repair a damaged roof near Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony in the municipality of Wurster Nordseeküste. In Hamburg, a storm surge up the River Elbe reached 3.75m. A 55-meter crane collapsed on an under-construction office building in Bremen. A post mill at Klettbach, Thuringia was blown down. Photographs show that the main post had snapped where the quarterbars join and the mill had blown over onto its side. It is hoped that the mill can be rebuilt. First estimations expect an insured damage of 900 million Euros. Ireland On 16 February, Met Éireann issued a Status Orange wind warning for seven counties for 18 February, saying the storm would bring severe and potentially damaging winds, gusting up to 130 km/h. The next day, further weather warnings for rain, wind and snow were issued by Met Éireann, with a Status Red wind warning for counties Cork, Kerry, Clare and Waterford, while all schools, colleges, universities and childcare facilities were advised to close in counties with Status Red wind and Orange snow warnings.

According to representatives of Klaipėda Port, wind gusts reached 90 km/h (56 mph) and is expected to rise up to 100–108 km/h (62–67 mph). Maximum recorded wave height was 5 meters (16.4 ft). Netherlands The meteorological institute KNMI issued rare code red warnings as a result of Storm Eunice for Zeeland, South Holland, North Holland, Friesland and IJsselmeer regions. A code orange was in effect for the rest of the country, excluding Limburg, which faced only a code yellow warning. KNMI reported that they expected gusts between 100 and 120 km/hr for inland areas. This is the fourth time a code red has been issued since 2021 in the Netherlands, with the last in July 2021. Dutch railway operator NS announced on 17 February that it was cancelling all domestic and international train traffic on 18 February at 14:00 CET (13:00 UTC).

Guinea (PNG). He played an important role in the independence process and is said to have been responsible for the preamble to PNG's constitution. He also played a leading role in the early stages of the Pangu Party, the party that formed the government under prime minister Michael Somare after independence. Early life Cecil Charles Geoffrey Abel was born on 1 February 1903 at Kwato mission, in what is now the Milne Bay Province of PNG, on the eastern tip of New Guinea. He was one of four children of the missionary Charles Abel and Beatrice Abel (née Moxon), who had settled in Kwato in 1890–91. He was initially taught by his mother and, in 1918, was sent to the Sydney Church of England Grammar School (commonly known as Shore). He then went to Cheshunt College, a theology college at Cambridge University in England. After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts, he studied for a diploma in anthropology under A. C. Haddon, who had carried out anthropological research in the Torres Strait Islands, which are situated between the west of PNG and Australia. Missionary career Abel took over as head of the Kwato mission after the death of his father in a car accident in England in 1930. Although frequently compared to his father, his approach as a missionary differed from that of Charles Abel. At Cambridge he had been influenced by the American Lutheran, Frank Buchman, who was founder of the Oxford Group, which would later be known as Moral Re-Armament. While his father had largely stayed in the Kwato mission, Cecil Abel and his siblings began, with government endorsement, to proselytize in other areas, particularly in areas occupied by the Kunika or Keveri people to the west of Kwato. World War Two As a result of Japan's entry into World War II with its attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the majority of non-Papuans were evacuated to Australia. Abel and a colleague, Geoffrey Baskett, were allowed to remain at Kwato. They provided equipment and organized labour to assist the Australian army	a colleague, Geoffrey Baskett, were allowed to remain at Kwato. They provided equipment and organized labour to assist the Australian army to develop Milne Bay as a base, and supplied wood from the Kwato mission sawmill. In the Battle of Milne Bay in August–September 1942, the Japanese attack was easily resisted by Australian troops. Later, Abel's knowledge of the area proved useful. He organized labour gangs to build a military airfield, which was named Abel's Field. With his boat, the MV Osiri, one of the few small boats left after the Japanese invasion, he also helped to supply the coastwatchers, who were usually Australians who had not been evacuated and had undertaken to observe enemy movements and rescue stranded Allied personnel. As an ordained minister, Abel also performed marriages at Kwato between American soldiers and the many American nurses that had been sent to Milne Bay. Together with his brother, Russell, he also contributed Tales of New Guinea to the Stevie Seabee newsletter, a daily newsletter published for the American troops. Post-war activities After the war the Kwato mission declined. On 14 August 1951, Abel married Semi Bwagagaia, a schoolteacher from Logea Island and granddaughter of the traditional owner of Kwato. The marriage followed allegations of relationships between Abel and Papuan women at the mission and was objected to by influential Papuans at the mission. At the same time, reduced support from overseas donors still recovering from the war, compounded by apparent financial irregularities during Abel's period as treasurer, threatened the future of the Kwato Extension Association, the body that had managed the mission's assets since being established by his father in 1917. Abel resigned from the mission and eventually moved to PNG's future capital Port Moresby. In 1964 he was asked by the administrator of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, Sir Donald Cleland, to join the staff of the new Administrative College, where he taught political science. Together with a number of his students, including Michael Somare and Albert Maori Kiki, he became involved in an informal group known as the Bully Beef Club. In 1967 this group was the basis for the Pangu Party, which demanded self-government. Abel was elected to the House of Assembly of Papua and New Guinea as a Pangu Party member for Milne Bay (Regional) in 1968. Later that year he drafted the party's economic policy, which emphasised the need to increase overseas capital investment; raise exports in both primary and secondary sectors; reduce imports and encourage import replacement; greatly increase secondary industry; and move from a subsistence to a cash economy. The policy stated that: "We must aim for
