"Baseball Study"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Baseball Study''' (also known as the '''Baseball Experiment''') was an academic experiment that tested how reading comprehension is impacted by prior knowledge.",
"In 1987, education researchers Donna Recht and Lauren Leslie tested middle school students on the topic of baseball, evaluating their results based on the participant's reading abilities and prior knowledge of baseball.",
"They concluded that prior knowledge was just as important as reading proficiency in the student's abilities to comprehend written text."
],
[
"Design and implementation",
"In 1987, researchers Donna Recht and Lauren Leslie developed a study to determine how much reading comprehension depended on prior knowledge of a topic.",
"As the study was to be conducted on junior high students, they chose the topic of baseball under the assumption that the kids could potentially be familiar with the sport.",
"Starting with 64 students, the participants were split into four groups based on their reading ability and prior knowledge of baseball.",
"Each student read a half-page of text describing a baseball inning and were then asked to recreate the action on a model baseball field, demonstrating their comprehension of what they had just read.The study found that the students who were previously familiar with baseball were better able to recreate the described action.",
"According to the researchers: \"Students with high reading ability but low knowledge of baseball were no more capable of recall or summarization than were students with low reading ability and low knowledge of baseball.\"",
"The study also found that the students assessed as 'less proficient' readers were \"better at identifying important ideas in the text and at including those ideas in summaries\", skills that are considered important for overall reading comprehension.",
"Natalie Wexler, an educational journalist, described the key takeaway as demonstrating that \"the bad readers who knew a lot about baseball outperformed the good readers who didn’t\".Recht and Leslie were surprised at the results and reached the conclusion that if \"educators want to accelerate student learning, it will be essential to consider students' background knowledge in the planning\".",
"They published their research in the Journal of Educational Psychology in 1988."
],
[
"Effects",
"The baseball study has been described as \"elegant in its simplicity but profound in its implications\".",
"The study's findings were praised for revealing that readers with \"sufficient background knowledge are able to comprehend and learn more easily because they have multiple ways to store information\".The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) lauded the study for increasing the connection between education and the community \"while also dismantling stereotypes and bridging cultural divides\".",
"It cites the study's results as a way to assist at-risk students, such as students from historically marginalized groups and low socioeconomic backgrounds, through the use of culturally relevant teaching to improve academic success."

"The Book That Wouldn't Burn"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''The Book That Wouldn't Burn''''' is a 2023 high fantasy novel by American-British author Mark Lawrence.",
"It is the first book in ''The Library Trilogy'', with a second book, ''The Book That Broke the World'', planned to release in April 2024.Lawrence is also the author of the Broken Empire trilogy.The book follows the story of Livira, a young and brilliant orphan from the Dust, and Evar, one of five children who were separated from their time and raised together in an immense and inescapable library."
],
[
"Premise",
"Out in the Dust, humanity is at war with the sabbers, a race of brutal, wolf-like warriors.",
"Inside Crath City, humanity is at war with the past.",
"At the center of the city is a mysterious library containing the complete knowledge of ages before the Dust, when humanity could cure disease and reach into the stars.",
"For Livira's people, this library holds the potential for salvation -- if only the right books can be found amidst the endless shelves.For Evar and his four adopted siblings, the library is both a prison and a sanctuary.",
"After being sucked out of their own times by the Mechanism, a device that lets people enter the world of whatever book they are carrying, they have been raised in inescapable isolation within the library by the dispassionate Assistant and protected from the dangers of the Mechanism by the lethal Soldier."
],
[
"Plot",
"After being orphaned by a sabber attack on her tiny village in the Dust, Livira is taken to Crath City by Malar, a swordsman who was among the men who rescued her.",
"Though she faces discrimination from the city residents, she is taken under the wing of Davris Yute, an important librarian who ensures she is educated by the library staff.",
"The library is composed of many enormous chambers, many of which are locked or accessible only with the help of automaton-like Assistants left over from the time the library was created.Evar, meanwhile, lives in an isolated chamber of the library, unable to leave or interact with anyone other than his adopted siblings, the automaton-like Assistant who has raised them, and the implacable Soldier who protects them.",
"Evar and his siblings were each taken from their own time while using the Mechanism, a device inside the library that lets people enter the world of whatever book they carry.",
"Though the siblings did not age during their decades trapped in the Mechanism, each became an expert on the subject of the book they were trapped with – Kerrol in psychology, Starval in assassination, Clovis in warfare, and Maynard in history, though he has been missing and presumed dead for more than a year.",
"Unlike his siblings, Evar does not remember what book he took into the Mechanism or how he spent his time there.",
"Periodically, the Mechanism sets loose Escapes, beings of dark energy that form as a byproduct the machine.",
"While hunting an especially dangerous Escape, Evar finds a book with a handwritten note addressed to him alongside instructions to \"find me at the bottom.",
"\"Evar realizes the note must be referring to the well that is the source of the library's water.",
"He dives into the water and is taken to the Exchange, an in-between space that allows travelers to move between libraries across worlds and times.",
"While in the Exchange, he finds a young Livira, who stumbled across another portal in her own library while exploring.",
"They are quickly separated, and though Evar attempts to reach her again, her portal is closed.",
"When he experiments with another portal, he is transported to the past at the moment when sabbers slaughtered Clovis's family.",
"When he returns to the Exchange, he meets a teenage Livira.",
"Though little time has passed for him, she has been studying in the library for years, seeking a way back to the Exchange.",
"Though they share a longer conversation, Escapes begin attacking the Exchange, and Livira flees back to her own library while Evar jumps into a new one.",
"This time, he watches Crath City be overrun by sabbers after a long siege.",
"Sick of the violence, he returns to the Exchange, again finding Livira, who this time is his own age.In her time, Livira has continued to rise through the ranks of the library.",
"Outside of Crath City, the sabbers have become an even greater threat, encroaching on human land as they flee from an unknown enemy.",
"Crath City's king and political leadership call on the library to provide texts that dehumanize the sabbers and equate them to animals.",
"Yute, her mentor, urges her to consider that the library brings both blessings and curses.",
"Malar, now in the employ of Yute, saves her from several assassination attempts motivated by Livira's heritage in the Dust.",
"She begins to write her own book, though such creations are forbidden by the library staff.",
"During her quest to understand the library's history and return to Evar, she also encounters the head librarian, a mysterious figure with some unknown connection to Yute.After years, Livira discovers a way to create a portal to the Exchange, where she meets Evar for a third time.",
"Evar and Livira use a new portal together, seeking a time without bloodshed.",
"They find an empty version of Crath City from years before.",
"While exploring, their connection deepens and they share a kiss for the first time.",
"When they enter a building, however, they see the corpses of both humans and sabbers, apparently killed in a massive chemical attack.Both horrified, they exit into the Exchange again, where they are immediately attacked by Clovis, who sees Livira as a sabber.",
"Evar and Livira escape to their respective times, realizing that the Exchange created an illusion that hid the truth of their identities.",
"Livira is a human, like the ones who slaughtered Clovis's family, while Evar is a canith, like the ones laying siege to Crath City, which in fact has passed back and forth between the two species for generations.At Livira's return to her own library, the canith invasion begins, and she flees into the library with her friends and the head librarian, who is revealed to be Yute's wife and an Assistant who, like Yute, gave up her immortality in order to impact the world.",
"In the fighting, both sides use weapons developed through library research, causing a massive firestorm.",
"Evar, returned to his own time, struggles to explain what has happened.",
"The siblings are reproached by the Assistant, who forbids them from using the Exchange.",
"Nevertheless, Evar and his siblings create a distraction and return to the Exchange, where they encounter the humans that Livira has led there while escaping from the fire.",
"The two groups almost begin the bloodshed again, but Livira and Evar reconcile and convince their groups not to attack.During the standoff, Yute explains that they are all part of a larger conflict taking place between forces that support and oppose the library.",
"At a critical moment, Maynard, the missing sibling, emerges from one of the portals and accuses the head librarian of taking the wrong side, executing her.",
"Simultaneously, Evar and Livira discover that the book Evar brought with him into the Mechanism is the story that Livira has been writing.",
"Livira, Evar, and Malar then use the Exchange to return to the burning library, where Livira and Malar inhabit the bodies of Assistants in order to save their friends.",
"Evar realizes that the Soldier and the Assistant who raised him are in fact his two friends, though their minds and actions have been restricted by the rules of the library.Evar returns to his library, where the Assistant and the Soldier have been nearly destroyed by a new species, called the skeer, who have entered the library.",
"Though he defeats the remaining skeer with the help of Clovis and his other siblings, their two guardians appear to be destroyed.",
"Unbeknownst to Evar, however, the physical destruction of the Assistants has freed the spirits of Livira and Malar, although they have no form.",
"The siblings pass through the door used by the skeer, with Kerrol promising Evar that he knows a way to find Livira."

"Novosvobodnaya culture"

[
"Introduction",
"Excavations at the Klady kurgan near the Novosvobodnaya settlement'''Novosvobodnaya culture''' (Russian: Новосвободненская культура ''Novosvobodnenskaya kultura'', also ''Novosvobodna'', ''Novosvobodnaja'') is an archaeological culture of the Early Bronze Age in the foothills of the North Caucasus (3500-3100 BC).",
"It is named after the megalithic tombs excavated in 1898 by Nikolai Veselovsky near the stanitsa Tsarskoy, now Novosvobodnaya in Adygea."
],
[
"History of research",
"For a long time, the graves of Novosvobodnaya were considered to belong to a late stage of Maykop culture.",
"The British-Australian archaeologist Gordon Childe (1952) pointed out the connection between the pottery of Novosvobodnaya and the pottery of the Globular Amphora culture of Central Europe.The archaeologists N. A. Nikolaev and Vladimir Safronov were the first to distinguish the Novosvobodnaya sites from the Maykop culture and define Novosvobodnaya as a separate archaeological culture associated with the group of Funnelbeaker culture, Corded Ware culture and Globular Amphora cultures of Central Europe.",
"Aleksey Rezepkin, who led the excavations at the Novosvobodnaya settlement, also noted the similarity of Novosvobodnaya's pottery with the ceramics of the Northern European Funnelbeaker culture.",
"But unlike Childe, Rezepkin dated them to the end of the 6th millennium BC.",
"According to Rezepkin, Novosvobodnaya's main distinguishing features as an independent culture were the megalithic tombs, black polished pottery, and bronze objects (axes, daggers, spears), which differ from the more archaic objects of the Maykop culture.",
"The pearl-like decoration on axes, as well as on bronze and earthenware vessels, is absent from the Maykop culture.These hypotheses were accepted and expanded by other scholars such as Aleksandr Gej, who distinguished a \"steppe-Novosvobodnaya culture\".According to Rezepkin, the difference between the Novosvobodnaya and Maykop cultures was that the Novosvobodnaya shows unmistakable Western European connections at an early stage, while the Maykop culture was mostly related to the cultures of the Near East.",
":\"In Rezepkin’s view, the older Maikop Culture stood under the influence of Mesopotamia, whereas he postulates influences on the younger Novosvobodnaja Culture from the milieu of the Funnel Beaker Culture.",
"\"Some archaeologists, including Sergei Korenevsky, prefer the hypothesis of the existence of a more general Maykop-Novosvobodnaya cultural community, that included many local variants such as found at the Galyugayevskaya settlement (Kursky District, Stavropol Krai, Russia).More recently, excavations at Novosvobodnaya have been continued by Viktor Trifonov of the Institute for the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Natalya Shishlina of the State Historical Museum in Moscow."
],
[
"Paleogenetics",
"A complete DNA sequencing was performed on the mitochondrial genome of a representative of the Novosvobodnaya culture from the Klady cemetery, ca.",
"3,500 BC.",
"The mitochondrial haplogroup V7 was found Haplogroup V (mtDNA), indicating a possible connection between the Novosvobodnaya culture and the Funnel Beaker culture.",
"Another possible burial of the Novosvobodnaya culture, however without grave goods, possessed the mitochondrial haplogroup T2b."

"Operation Dark HunTor"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Operation Dark HunTOR''' was an international law enforcement operation targeting opioid trafficking and other illegal activities on The Onion Router (TOR).",
"The operation, which was conducted across the United States, Australia, and Europe, over a period of 10 months.In addition Europol released a statement that said the operation was composed of a series of separate but complementary actions in Australia, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, with coordination efforts led by Europol and Eurojust; which greatly expands on the initial number of countries that the US press releases indicated."
],
[
"Methodology",
"According to US court documents a \"variety\" of methods were used, to corroborate the trafficking of drugs through the USPS mail system.",
"One such method used was \"controlled buys\" of drugs from the dark market sites and then working to trace the sale back to the source mail box.",
"For example, a defense attorney recanted the factual background in a motion to suppress of one of the 65 known cases: \"On April 15, 2021, law enforcement placed an undercover order of synthetic heroin.",
"The parcel was first scanned in Granite Falls, Washington and delivered to the undercover address provided by law enforcement...",
"The sender’s name was listed as a Seattle business.\"",
"The Granite Falls Post office revealed \"the parcel had been deposited into the USPS blue collection box outside of the PO.\"",
"Security camera footage was reviewed after \"similar labels\" to the labels used in the control buy were deposited at the post office to identify a suspect and link the suspect to the usage of a PO box at the Post office.",
"From there, the Law Enforcement agents identified the owner of the PO box.",
"DN-29 of 2:21-cr-00110While many TOR related multinational coordinated operations have relied on sophisticated technological attacks, malware and hacking on the part of the government, review of these cases have yet to reveal a technological method used to deanonymize any users of the TOR markets.The methods remain of extreme interest to the civil rights and cyber community as to the methodology that used by the various agencies to identify the location of the server or the users.",
"Without an undercover agent tricking the users into giving up their protected information, or sloppy information management once again on behalf of the perpetrators few methods are available when all that is trafficked is data and not physical objects that must be transported physically and not electronically.",
"Theories abound from Network Intrusion Techniques (NITS) which have bounced back and forth in their legality within the United States and other countries; to traffic analysis and Sybil attacks (see KAX17's investigation by Nusenu)."
],
[
"Legality",
"The U.S. Government and other partnering governments has been secretive in their transparency regarding this operation.",
"U.S. law enforcement agencies as do other national agencies have some restrictions on what they are allowed to do outside the nations borders, especially without judicial or legislative approval.",
"Additionally, law enforcement agencies generally require an agreement in the form of a Mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to operate in any specific country other than their own granting special permissions.",
"Any public release, review or audit of the MLATs or MOUs associated with this operation remain unpublished as of 1/2024.As to the prosecution of person's accused of criminal activity, US legal challenges in the form of motions to suppress and appeals have occurred in a few of the US cases.",
"As of January 2024, only the interlocutory appeal for unlawful detention has been heard, the other appeals are still pending or the criminal cases are ongoing.===Appeals===As of 1/31/2024 only three appeals by defendants prosecuted as part of this operation have been lodged with the federal circuit appeals courts.",
":One of the appeals was a rare interlocutory appeal.",
"Federal court does not allow for interlocutory appeals, appeals that are filed before the conviction/dismissal/acquittal of the case terminates the proceedings, except in the instances of conditions of detention or incarceration.",
"see Engstrom Appeal:AffirmedThere are at least 5 cases that still will have the opportunity to file for an appeal.",
"The nature of the appeals as to what questions of law that are to be challenged are not known at this time, as the defendants have not presented initial arguments yet to the court.",
"* James Verl Barlow - United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 23-3018* Kevin Olando Ombisi - United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 24-5012===Questions of law - Detention laws and rights===Questions of law that have arisen in the cases thus far include: *Motion by the government objecting to the lack of detention of a defendant *Motions for reconsideration of detention order: **Alex Orgando **Paul Engstrom : Denied, Denied, Appeal:Affirmed*Motions of encarcerated defendants requesting transcripts: denied in part and affirmed impart ===Sealing of documents===However, the excessive sealing of documents (in lieu of providing redacted versions, and the continuation of keeping the search warrant cases and their affidavits sealed is controversial given the supreme court's continuing to enshrine the public's right of access to court documents and court proceedings per ''CBS, Inc. v. U.S. Dist.",
"Court'', 765 F.2d 823,825 (9th Circuit, 1985); ''Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia'', 448 U.S. 555 (1980); and ''Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court'', 478 U.S. 1 (1986)===OCR Text and electronic documentation===In addition to the public being deprived of reviewing documents, lack of consistent rules and requirements for the Federal Clerks to OCR text or perform quality checks before entering it into the docket and/or requiring electronic submissions to be OCRed results in vast numbers of case files being unsearchable by the public by any electronic means.===Other issues===The only method for identifying cases that are part of Operation Dark Huntor is to have the Federal Government provide that information in a press release from the DOJ or the agency, to submit a FOIA request, or to search and compare information from cases to carefully find boilerplate template affidavits that were approved by the Nationwide Investigation Advisory Committee (NIAC) for Operation Dark Huntor"

"Veronica spring water was not a therapeutic spa water or a table water but a medicinal mineral water with high magnesium levels.",
"The waters had a yellowish tinge and a strongly purgative-laxative effect (similar to commercial preparations of milk of magnesia), and beginning around 1887, the water was bottled and sold as a health tonic.",
"Veronica Water peaked as a brand in the 1910s.",
"The springs were capped off in 1962."

[
"Location",
"Veronica Springs was located about west of downtown Santa Barbara \"in a wooded canyon that extends from Hendry Beach to Modoc Road,\" in what is today a city-owned park called Arroyo Burro Open Space and was known in the early 20th century as Veronica Valley.",
"In addition to the Veronica Medicinal Springs, other adjacent springs with similar water profiles bottled and sold their water as well.",
"In 1901, there were Bythenia Springs and Santa Barbara Springs, the latter located on \"the mesa adjacent to the same territory.\"",

"Pinkham's bottled annually as of 1917.Bythenia was owned by J. M. McNulty, and located on the Hope Ranch.",
"The Bythenia water was bottled in San Francisco.",
"Circa 1917 a man named Thomas W. Moore owned an unexploited similar spring on the east side of the valley, where water flowed from \"soft clay below a limestone ledge.",

[
"History",
"=== 19th century ===The waters were known to indigenous people, including the Chumash, who reportedly \"not only drank the water but heated rocks and used it for bathing when ill.\" One account stated that Indians camped at Veronica Springs \"twice yearly,\" in the spring and in the fall.",
"Another account had it that remote communities would send messengers to the springs to collect waters to dose ailing villagers.",
"After European colonization, the springs were named in honor of Saint Veronica by the Catholic friars of Mission Santa Barbara.",
"Another version has it that Veronica was the baptismal name of \"an Indian girl who administered the water...and thereafter the water was called 'Veronica water'.",
"\"''The naturalist Thomas Nuttall is believed to have made a number of his Santa Barbara-area collections of 1836 \"in sandy woodland probably about Veronica Springs.\"",
"Booster and journalist Charles Nordhoff mentioned \"numerous hot and cold springs\" in the Santa Barbara area in his writings about California in the 1870s.As a regional history told it in 1917, \"About the year 1870 a gentleman who had married the daughter of one of the early Californians and through her, had learned the value of Veronica Springs water, sought to interest the white man in commercializing the same but without success, until about the year 1880, when a couple of prominent Santa Barbarans agreed to finance the proposition in a small way, as they had but little faith in its merits.",
"They opened offices in San Francisco, from which began the sale of Veronica water.",
"A young man who had enjoyed a remarkable cure as a result of the use of this water decided to spend the remainder of his life furthering the interests of Veronica water.",
"In 1895 he went East with the first carload of it and opened offices in Philadelphia, and from this small beginning Veronica water has found its way around the entire world.\"",
"Bottled Veronica water that was shown at the 1892 Santa Barbara fair by one Henry Clifton was said to have \"wonderfully curative properties\" and to look as \"clear and limpid as a moonbeam.",
"\"More straightforward accounts credit the Hawley family with beginning the commercialization of the water.",
"The Hawleys moved to the Santa Barbara area in 1885, and the sons initially sold farm equipment.",
"The father, Walter N. Hawley, had real estate investments including \"the upper and lower Hawley blocks,\" the Arlington Hotel, and a subdivision called Hawley Heights \"on the Riviera\".",
"Sons Walter Augustus Hawley, Theodore S. Hawley, and Albert E. Hawley (and partners) incorporated the Veronica Springs Mineral Water Company with a $100,000 stock offering in 1893, and incorporated again in 1898 under the name Medicinal Springs Water Company with $300,000 in stock.",
"W. A. Hawley and T. S. Hawley were manager and president of Veronica Mineral Springs in 1901, with offices at the Hawley Block.",

"Veronica was one of 44 mineral-water springs that bottled water in California in 1909.Frederick Horace Kimball, known as Captain F. H. Kimball, took charge of Veronica Springs in 1913, and rapidly increased the company's sales volume in an era that was later recalled as the brand's peak.",
"The company bottled and shipped about 500,000 bottles annually during the 1910s, and \"Veronica water found its way into about every community in the country.\"",
"Kimball capitalized on the iconography of the nearby Santa Barbara Mission and started including stylized missionary \"taking the waters\" in Veronica Water ads, under the tagline \"health's missionary.\"",
"Under Kimball, the company also leaned heavily on testimonials, placing ads that included lengthy positive reviews from specific customers.",
"The World War I era was ironically a high point for California mineral waters, in part because druggists were trying to replace products that could no longer be obtained from Europe.",
"As of 1917 Veronica Medicinal Springs were \"the most commercially important springs\" in Santa Barbara County.",

"U.S. government geologist Gerald A. Waring described Veronica Springs in 1915 as \"situated on the sides of the wide drainage channel of San Roque Creek, about three-quarters of a mile northward from the ocean.",
"The principal springs are on the western side of the creek, but water from about 12 springs, half of which are on each slope of the drainage channel, has been piped to collecting tanks in a warehouse at the principal springs.",
"As the yield of the springs is small and the bottled product consists of the combined flow from a number of springs whose composition probably varies with the season, differences in any two analyses of the water would be expected.",
"The remarkably high content of magnesia...seems to have been produced by concentration of the material from the ocean water by some means which is not clearly understood but which probably involved the evaporation of the water of lagoons to a bittern...The flat-topped hills on whose flanks the springs issue are composed of shales of late Tertiary age that probably belong to the Fernando formation, which has been described by Arnold.",

"This water has been prescribed by the profession for more than 25 years for the relief of constipation and general sluggishness of bowel action.\""

"Transvestism and Transsexuality in Modern Society"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Transvestism and Transsexuality in Modern Society,''' also known as '''The First National TV.TS Conference''' was a conference held in Leeds from 15 to 17 March 1974.It was the first such event to be organised by members of the community.",
"With an educational remit, the conference sought to further understanding of issues faced by transvestites and trans women."
],
[
"Background",
"Organised in part by the Beaumont Society, a support group for transvestite women established in 1966, the conference provided information, from social workers on legal and medical rights, as well as providing an opportunity for attendees to meet other community members.",
"Key figures in its delivery were June Willmott, a local Beaumont Society representative, and Caroline Robertson, a postgraduate researcher at the University of Leeds.A previous conference conerning gender idenity was held at the Piccadilly Hotel in London in 1969.Titled the First International Symposium on Gender Identity: Aims, Functions and Clinical Problems of a Gender Identity Unit, this conference, had a medical focus and was not organised by transgender community members.",
"In this way, Leeds was the first transgender rights conference to be organised by transgender people in the United Kingdom.",
"The Leeds conference was also precise about the differences in terminology between transvestite, transsexual and transgender communities.Whilst the majority of attendees were invited by letter, there was some limited advertising of the event, including a notice in ''The Gryphon,'' the University of Leeds' student newspaper."
],
[
"Aims",
"With a primarily educational remit, the conference brought together members of the transgender community (predominately transgender women), as well as social workers and some legal and medical experts.",
"In her opening speech, June Willmott stated that: An evening reception held at the Guildford Hotel on the Headrow in Leeds on the 15 March.",
"Attended by 52 people, the evening, according to historian Kit Heyham, \"transformed the hotel's first floor into a queer space\".",
"Those present were free to openly use women's names, wear women's clothing and use the women's toilets.",
"During the evening reception, some attendees were interviewed by the ''Yorkshire Evening Post''.",
"Geoffrey Winter, a lead journalist at the YEP described his reaction as: The main conference was held on 16 March at the University of Leeds, followed by a disco that evening, with more informal day of workshops and open discussion on 17 March at Leeds Polytechnic.",
"With 102 people attending, speakers at the conference on the 16 March included: Margaret Williams of the Beaumont Society on '''The Psychology of Transvestism and Transsexualism';'' Julia Tonner of the UK branch of the Transsexual Action Organisation on '''Fit or Misfit - The Position of the Transsexual in Modern Society'''; Della Aleksander, who had appeared on Open Door, a BBC programme; social worker Doreen Cordell; Dr Elizabeth Ferris, who was a researcher based at Charing Cross' Gender Identity Clinic.",
"These were followed by a screening of the 1968 documentary ''The Queen'', filmed on New York's underground drag scene.The report on the event established differences in opinion between attendees, referring to both radical and conservative voices being heard."
],
[
"Legacy",
"Transvestism Conference Rainbow PlaqueThe conference is the first recorded use of terminology, such as \"trans.people (sic)\" and \"gender alignment\".Mel Porter notes that despite its significance for transvestite and transexual communities, the conference did not attract wider support from the gay movement.In 2018 the significance of the conference was recognised by Leeds Civic Trust as it featured in their temporary 'Rainbow Plaques' trail."

],
[
"Tetris career",
"Artiaga was introduced to classic NES ''Tetris'' at 8 years old in elementary school, after playing it on the original Nintendo Game Boy at their house.",
"He was originally attracted to the game's need for quick-thinking, speed, and skill.",
"Michael and Andrew, at 10 and 13 years old, respectively, began to play more intently after watching 16-year-old Joseph Saelee's victory against the 37-year-old and previous champion Jonas Neubauer on YouTube in the 2018 Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC), marking the beginning of a new generation of ''Tetris'' players to the competitive scene.",
"The brothers began to practice more in the summer of 2019, using separate Nintendo consoles at their home while collaborating on their shortcomings to better their playing.",
"After purchasing twin famiclones, Michael began to compete in tournaments under the name \"DogplayingTetris\" or simply \"Dog\", in reference to his avatar being a dog holding a Nintendo controller, and his brother taking the nickname \"P1xelAndy\".",
"During this time in December 2019, Artiaga completed his first \"maxout\", a point in the game where the score becomes so high it no longer registers correctly on-screen, becoming the youngest person to do so.During the COVID-19 lockdowns in the United States, both brothers began to practice more often while also learning from their competitors on Twitch.",
"At 13 and 15 years old, respectively, both Michael and Andrew qualified for the 2020 CTWC, with Michael scoring 1 million points in six games, making him the top seed in his double-elimination playoffs group.",
"Michael would be the second youngest competitor there, and the youngest to make it to the top eight.",
"After beating fellow competitor Jacob Huff (known online as \"Huffulufugus\"), Michael made it to the final round with his brother Andrew, where they competed against each other at their same house due to COVID-19 restrictions.",
"Michael won shortly after reaching level 29, winning $3,000 which he used to buy a real Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), a Donner guitar, an electric drum set, and invest in cryptocurrency.",
"Andrew celebrated the victory with Michael, giving him a high five immediately after the match; Michael remarked that the \"great thing about being in the top two is that we both get great trophies.\"",
"At 13 years and 16 days old at the time he won, Artiaga earned a Guinness World Record for becoming the \"Youngest Tetris World Champion\".",
"He further used the attention he gained from the championship win to sell merchandise and publicize his own tournament called \"Classic Tetris Brawl\" (CTB), which he had created in November 2019.The CTB is made up of a number of events including three-player matches, level 0 to 19 speedruns, and a quarterly \"Brawl Championship\".After winning the 2020 CTWC, Artiaga remarked that the win would change his life for the better with support from all over the world motivating him.",
"The continued playing helped him secure a back-to-back win in the also virtual CTWC in 2021, after beating 19-year-old Jacob Huff 3 to 1, winning another $3,000.His back-to-back win would also place Artiaga in the 2023 edition of the Scholastic Book of World Records.",
"On April 9, 2022, Artiaga uploaded a video to YouTube of him setting another world record for the highest scoring game on a level 29 start after reaching 2.2 million.",
"In July 2022, Artiaga achieved the third highest scoring game on a level 18 start (the competitive standard) after reaching 2.9 million points.=== Playing style ===Artiaga early in his ''Tetris'' career adopted hypertapping, a playing technique popularized by Saelee which emphasizes vibrating the buttons rapidly over pressing them, who pioneered it in his winning 2018 CTWC tournament.",
"His success using the technique led to his brother to adopt the technique to even the playing field before the 2020 CTWC.Unlike the majority of his competitors, Artiaga continued to utilize hypertapping as late as during the 2021 CTWC, his handling of the controller in which was referred to by ''The New York Times'' as one \"with the breeziness of a cocktail pianist\".",
"This was opposed to rolling, a new technique created by fellow ''Tetris'' player Christopher Martinez (known online as \"Cheez\") before the 2020 CTWC, which involves rolling the back of the controller with all five fingers to faster position the game pieces.",
"Artiaga eventually adopted the rolling technique sometime before achieving the third highest scoring game on a level 18 start in July 2022.To prepare for competitions, Artiaga has commented he typically plays for about 45 minutes to warm-up, alongside drinking lots of water and enjoying the outside."

"EU FDI screening framework"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The European Union's '''foreign direct investment screening framework''' is defined in its '''FDI screening Regulation'''.The Regulation applies in all member states directly.",
"It does not currently harmonise the FDI screening procedures of the EU member states; they may conduct FDI screening as they wish.",
"However, they must make their screening policy transparent by notifying the European Commission and the other member states.",
"This is to ensure that the FDI screenings operate fast, yet do not discriminate between different non-EU countries and do not disclose confidential and commercially sensitive information.In 2024, the European Commission made plans to oblige its member states to follow a minimum set of FDI screening standards, using minimum harmonisation."
],
[
"Current regulation",
"When an EU member state conducts an FDI screening, it must notify the Commission and other member states as soon as possible.",
"The other states and the European Commission can then submit comments if they consider the screening to affect security or public order in their country or in the other member states.",
"FDI screening is defined as a procedure to \"assess, investigate, authorise, condition, prohibit or unwind FDIs\".One FDI that was likely screened and notified was the acquisition of Swedish Volvo Cars by the Chinese car manufacturer Geely.",
"In terms of overall screening volumes, for example, Germany screened (and notified the Commission of) 570 foreign direct investments in 2022."

"Battle of Yaguachi"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Battle of Yaguachi''' or '''Battle of Cone''' was a military confrontation that occurred on 19 August 1821 between Guayaquil independence troops and Grancolombian reinforcements, led by Antonio José de Sucre, against Royalist troops led by Colonel Francisco González.",
"The battle was fought near the city of Yaguachi, current Province of Guayas in Ecuador, and was a victory for the Patriots which ensured the definitive independence of the Free Province of Guayaquil."
],
[
"Prelude",
"In 1820, Patriots in Guayaquil had established of the Free Province of Guayaquil and raised an army that marched to the capital Quito.",
"But after winning the Battle of Camino Real, the Guayaquil army was defeated three times and forced to retreat to Guayaquil.The Junta de Guayaquil now requested help from General Simón Bolívar, president of Gran Colombia, who sent General Antonio José de Sucre with an army and a large supply of weapons.In July 1821, Sucre was deploying his army in Babahoyo, ready to advance on the highlands as soon as the weather allowed.",
"Meanwhile, Spanish General Melchor Aymerich had reached Riobamba with 2,000 soldiers and established his headquarters in that city.",
"He decided to divide his forces and attack on two fronts to execute a pincer movement: he would led his army from Guaranda down to Babahoyo, while Colonel González would come from the southern highlands down to Yaguachi to attack Sucre's flank."
],
[
"The battle",
"Upon discovering the Royalist intentions thanks to a well-developed espionage network, Sucre prepared a battle plan and on 19 August, he sent General José Mires to confront and stop Colonel González' army in the foothills of the mountain range.",
"But when Mires found the Spanish at a short distance from Yaguachi, he noticed they were in a vulnerable situation.",
"They were marching in a forest on a narrow path, that allowed only four men in a row.",
"Mires concluded that he had to attack the Spanish column immediately, before they could take up a better position.",
"He therefore engaged in combat at 11 a.m.Putting himself at the head of the Guayaquileño second battalion and the Santander battalion of the Colombian auxiliaries, Mires gave such rapid and accurate volleys that he forced the enemy to retreat to try to reorganize.",
"All the efforts that the Royalists made to sustain Mires' attacks were useless, as the Patriot battalions fought with true courage and heroism, forcing the Spanish – who also defended their positions with extreme courage – to retreat slowly.",
"Finally the Royalists could not resist and were defeated."
],
[
"Consequences",
"Colonel González was able to escape with only 120 men, leaving on the battlefield 400 dead and wounded, more than 500 prisoners and a large quantity of weapons, ammunition and war supplies, which were later used by the Patriot army.",
"Among the Patriots there were only 20 dead and 25 wounded.Upon receiving word of the defeat, Aymerich headed back to the highlands."

"Charlotte Charlaque"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Charlotte Charlaque''' (September 14, 1892 in Berlin – February 6, 1963) was a German-American actress.",
"She was an early trans activist and one of the first people to undergo gender reassignment surgery."
],
[
"Life and work",
"Charlotte Charlaque was born the second child of a German-Jewish family in Berlin-Schöneberg.",
"Her family name was actually Scharlach, and since her parents assumed she was a boy at birth, they gave her the name Curt.",
"The misleading statement that Charlaque was born in Mährisch Schönberg (Šumperk) in what is now the Czech Republic is based on Charlaque's repeated efforts after 1933 to disguise her origins so that she would not be handed over to Nazi Germany as a German Jew or Jewish trans woman.",
"Her real birth certificate was found in 2023.Charlaque initially grew up in Berlin, where her father ran a manufactured goods shop.",
"He emigrated to the USA in 1901, and his wife and two children followed him the following year.",
"The family settled in San Francisco.",
"After the parents divorced, the mother and her eldest son moved back to Germany.",
"Charlaque first went to Chicago and from there to New York City, where she trained as a violinist.",
"In the summer of 1922, however, she also returned to Germany, according to her US passport, for study purposes."
],
[
"In Berlin",
"In her early years in Berlin, Charlaque performed as a singer, dancer and actress, later she also worked as a language teacher and translator as well as a receptionist at Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science.",
"One of her tasks here was to advise \"transvestite\" patients on their choice of clothes.",
"In 1929, Charlaque also accompanied Magnus Hirschfeld and his partner Karl Giese to the third international congress of the World League for Sexual Reform (WLSR) in London.Around this time - i.e.",
"between 1929 and 1931 - Charlaque underwent gender reassignment surgery in Berlin.",
"Alongside the kitchen assistant Dora Richter and the painter Toni Ebel, with whom she was friends, she was one of the first three known cases of gender reassignment surgery worldwide.",
"In 1933, all three women appeared briefly in the Austrian film ''Mysterium des Geschlechts'' (Mystery of Sex) by Lothar Golte.",
"Around the same time, Charlaque and Ebel gave an interview to the Swedish journalist Ragnar Ahlstedt (1901-1982), in which they provided insights into their lives and their life situations at the time."
],
[
"Escape to Czechoslovakia",
"Charlaque had a close friendship with Ebel in particular and the two women lived together from around 1932.As Charlotte Charlaque was Jewish, Toni Ebel converted to Judaism in the early 1930s and both women were staunch opponents of National Socialism, they fled together to Czechoslovakia in the spring of 1934, where they first settled in Karlovy Vary and later in Brno and Prague.",
"While Ebel painted pictures for spa guests and other clients, Charlaque taught English and French, probably also to Jews who were fleeing persecution by the German National Socialists.A few months before the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the German Wehrmacht on March 15, 1939 and the establishment of the \"Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia\", events came to a head for Charlaque and Ebel.",
"Their homes were searched and Ebel in particular was soon considered an \"uninvited foreigner\" in Czechoslovakia.",
"The move from Brno to Prague was only a temporary relief for the two friends.Charlaque was arrested by the Prague immigration police on March 19, 1942, after the authorities found out that she was Jewish.",
"She was originally supposed to be interned in Theresienstadt and an identification card had already been created for her.",
"However, Ebel managed to convince the Swiss consul in Prague that her friend was an American citizen by means that had not yet been fully clarified.",
"The only reason she no longer had valid identification papers was because she had handed them over to the American vice consul in Vienna in order to obtain a new passport.",
"What Ebel failed to mention was that the vice consul in Vienna had refused to issue Charlaque's passport in a female name.Charlaque was then transferred to the Liebenau internment camp.",
"From here, she was sent to the USA together with other non-German women and children who were intended to be exchanged for Americans and British women of German origin.",
"Her friend Ebel remained behind in Prague alone."
],
[
"In New York",
"Charlaque arrived in New York on July 2, 1942, where she remained for the rest of her life.",
"She was dependent on poor relief for long periods and suffered from poor health.",
"Nevertheless, she managed to make a name for herself as an off-Broadway actress and to celebrate success on stage.",
"Alluding to her birth name, she now liked to call herself Carlotta Baroness von Curtius; she also published a text under this pseudonym in the homophile magazine One in 1955.In her private life, she was in contact with the German-American doctor and endocrinologist Harry Benjamin, the \"cross-dresser\" Louise Lawrence (1912–1976) and Christine Jorgensen, who attracted a great deal of media attention in the course of her gender reassignment in 1952.Charlaque died completely impoverished in New York on February 6, 1963.At a funeral service a few days later, she was honored in a memorial speech by William Glenesk (1926–2014), who was known as an innovative clergyman and later also as an advocate for people from the LGBTIQ spectrum."

"By the mid-2000s, the company had started offering flavored lozenges: mint, lemongrass, and plum.",
