"Civ-Alert"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Civ-Alert''' was the civil defense warning system in the state of Hawaii from 1960 to 1977.Civ-Alert was established in the wake of the tsunami generated by the 1960 Valdivia earthquake on the Chilean coast, which devastated Hilo.",
"Unlike CONELRAD, the warning system in use in the mainland United States, Civ-Alert consisted of the transmission of civil defense information and instructions from a studio at state Civil Defense headquarters in Diamond Head on existing radio station frequencies; this was important, as no one radio station could cover the entire Hawaiian islands.",
"The Civ-Alert system was a major improvement.",
"It led to the redesign of emergency warnings in the mainland U.S. as a similar system, the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).",
"Civ-Alert was rebranded as EBS in May 1977."
],
[
"History",
"The 1960 Valdivia earthquake, whose tsunami pummeled Hilo and led to the deaths of 65 people, exposed serious deficiencies in the island-wide warning system for natural disasters.",
"The islands' existing warning system had been created in 1946, after a tsunami killed 150, and was described by scientists after Valdivia as a \"horse and buggy\" system that failed to account for advances in tsunami forecasting.",
"Civil Defense responded by conducting a massive overhaul of its warning systems.",
"It earmarked money to install 71 new sirens across the state, as well as $20,000 to establish Civ-Alert, a statewide system to broadcast civil defense information over all Hawaii radio stations.",
"This system was conceived by Jock Fernhead at radio station KPOI.Civ-Alert was approved for use in November 1960 and began full-time service on December 1, 1960.It was tested for the first time on January 3, 1961, and all Honolulu radio stations received the signal from Civil Defense in Diamond Head; they were equipped with warning lights to make them aware of impending Civ-Alert broadcasts.",
"Civil Defense leaders soon sought authorization to have Civ-Alert supplant CONELRAD, the system used nationwide.",
"CONELRAD depended on stations alternating time at one of two frequencies, 640 or 1240 kHz, on reduced power.",
"This was not sufficient for use in Hawaii because a station operating at reduced power in CONELRAD mode might not be able to reach all of the islands.",
"In July 1961, CONELRAD was formally discontinued in Hawaii.Civ-Alert suffered issues in warning of a potential tsunami on December 20, 1962.It took ten minutes for Civ-Alert to activate, muddling an already confused warning setup.",
"At one point, two Oahu radio stations were telling listeners it was safe to return to their homes while Civ-Alert continued the alert.",
"Among the plans for improving the civil defense system was adding audible buzzers, in addition to the warning lights already in use, to radio studios to notify stations of incoming announcements.",
"The system's performance was much improved in the wake of the 1965 Rat Islands earthquake in the Aleutian Islands; Civ-Alert went on the air three hours before the tidal wave was predicted to arrive on Oahu.",
"''The Honolulu Advertiser'' editorial board praised the broadcasting of director Roger Coryell, also a veteran newsman, and the network setup which also included DJ Hal Lewis as program director; a cartoon by Harry Lyons called the system \"Hawaii's Paul Revere\".",
"By 1966, Civ-Alert had been expanded to provide notification to TV stations and movie theaters, while audio messages were additionally relayed on Muzak background music systems for broadcast in stores.The success of Civ-Alert led to the scrapping of CONELRAD on the U.S. mainland.",
"Federal officials investigated the Hawaii system and discontinued CONELRAD in 1963 in favor of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).",
"The California state plan for the Emergency Alert System (EAS), successor to the EBS, credits Civ-Alert as \"arguably the parent of the EBS and EAS\".",
"Hawaii was linked to the mainland EBS system in 1967, with five EBS stations on the four major islands.",
"The statewide civil defense alert system continued to go by the Civ-Alert name until May 1977."

"This compound can be either convulsant or anticonvulsant depending on which enantiomer is used."
],
[
"Pharmacology",
"Diberal, unlike most barbiturates, can have convulsant actions.",
"This is uncommon, as barbiturates typically enhance the function of GABA as allorestic modulators and agonists (at higher doses), therefore having anticonvulsant properties.",
"Depending on which isomer is used, it can have either convulsant or anticonvulsant actions.The different pharmacological profile between isomers is thought to be due to the differences in the formation of hydrogen bonds at the binding sites.",
"=== (+)-Isomer ===(+)-DMBB is the atypical enantiomer of diberal.",
"It is atypical in the means that it has convulsant action, unlike most barbiturate drugs.=== (−)-Isomer ===Unlike (+)-DMBB, the (−)-isomer is similar to most barbiturates by having anticonvulsant action.",
"It has been found that administration of (−)-DMBB reverses the convulsant actions of (+)-DMBB.",
"(−)-DMBB is slightly more potent than pentobarbital in its depressant properties."

"Her service there included capturing the American privateer ''Rattlesnake'' on 17 June 1781 and coordinating the evacuation of Savannah, Georgia, in July 1782.Having briefly served as a troop ship during the subsequent peace, ''Assurance'' was recommissioned in 1793 for the French Revolutionary Wars.",
"Operating in the West Indies, she served in Sir John Jervis' fleet that captured Martinique, St Lucia, and Guadeloupe in March and April 1794, also playing a part in the capture of the French frigate ''Bienvenue'' on 17 March.",
"''Assurance'' was given over to the Transport Board for use as a troop ship in 1796.With a stripped down armament she served in this capacity at first in the Mediterranean Sea and then returned again to the West Indies.",
"Part of a convoy sailing from Martinique in 1798, ''Assurance'' assisted in saving the crew of the storm-stricken store ship HMS ''Etrusco'' on 25 August.",
"The ship was then in ordinary at Woolwich Dockyard, serving as a receiving ship, between 1799 and 1815 at which point she was broken up."
],
[
"Design",
"''Assurance'' was a 44-gun, 18-pounder .",
"The class was a revival of the design used to construct the fifth-rate HMS ''Roebuck'' in 1769, by Sir Thomas Slade.",
"The ships, while classified as fifth-rates, were not frigates because they carried two gun decks, of which a frigate would have only one.",
"''Roebuck'' was designed as such to provide the extra firepower a ship of two decks could bring to warfare but with a much lower draught and smaller profile.",
"From 1751 to 1776 only two ships of this type were built for the Royal Navy because it was felt that they were anachronistic, with the lower (and more heavily armed) deck of guns being so low as to be unusable in anything but the calmest of waters.",
"In the 1750s the cruising role of the 44-gun two deck ship was taken over by new 32- and 36-gun frigates, leaving the type almost completely obsolete.",
"''Roebuck''-class ships|leftWhen the American Revolutionary War began in 1775 a need was found for heavily armed ships that could fight in the shallow coastal waters of North America, where two-decked third-rates could not safely sail, and so the ''Roebuck'' class of nineteen ships, alongside the similar ''Adventure'' class, was ordered to the specifications of the original ships to fill this need.",
"The frigate classes that had overtaken the 44-gun ship as the preferred design for cruisers were at this point still mostly armed with 9- and 12-pounder guns, and it was expected that the class's heavier 18-pounders would provide them with an advantage over these vessels.",
"Frigates with larger armaments would go on to be built by the Royal Navy later on in the American Revolutionary War, but these ships were highly expensive and so ''Assurance'' and her brethren continued to be built as a cheaper alternative."
],
[
"Construction",
"Ships of the class built after 1782 received an updated armament, replacing the small upper deck 9-pounder guns with more modern 12-pounders.",
"''Assurance'', constructed before this, followed more closely to the 1769 armament of ''Roebuck'' and did not receive these changes.",
"All ships laid down after the first four of the class, including ''Assurance'', had the double level of stern windows ''Roebuck'' had been designed with removed and replaced with a single level of windows, moving the style of the ships closer to that of a true frigate.All but one ship of the class were contracted out to civilian dockyards for construction, and the contract for ''Assurance'' was given to Randall & Co at Rotherhithe.",
"The ship was ordered on 20 May 1778, laid down on 11 June the same year and launched on 20 April 1780 with the following dimensions: along the gun deck, at the keel, with a beam of and a depth in the hold of .",
"Her draught, which made the class so valued in the American Revolutionary War, was forward and aft.",
"She measured 898 tons burthen.",
"The fitting out process for ''Assurance'' was completed on 15 July at Deptford Dockyard where she also received her copper sheathing.",
"Her construction and fitting out cost in total .",
"''Assurance'' received an armament of twenty 18-pounder long guns on her lower deck, with twenty-two 9-pounders on the upper deck.",
"These were complemented by two 6-pounders on the forecastle; the quarterdeck was unarmed.",
"The ship was to have a crew of 280 men, which was increased to 300 in 1783.Her name was a historical one of Royal Navy use, originating in 1605."

"Service",
"===American Revolutionary War===James Cumming was ''Assurance''s first commanding officer|thumb''Assurance'' was commissioned by Captain James Cumming in April 1780, while the ship was still being completed.",
"She sailed on 27 October to join the North America Station.",
"There, the ship captured the American privateer brig ''Duke of Leinster'' on 23 May 1781, and two days later took the schooner ''Fanny''.",
"Subsequently serving alongside the 24-gun frigate HMS ''Charlestown'' and 24-gun post-ship HMS ''Amphitrite'', on 7 June the three ships came across the 16-gun ship-sloop HMS ''Atalanta'' in Boston Bay.",
"''Atalanta'' had been captured by an American frigate on 28 May and her prize crew was attempting to sail her into Boston.",
"The British ships re-took ''Atalanta'' and sent her to Halifax, Nova Scotia.",
"''Assurance'' continued an active month by capturing the American 10-gun privateer ''Rattlesnake'' on 17 June.",
"During this period she also re-took the merchant brig ''Neptune''; Cumming placed a prize crew on board the vessel and sent it to Martinique, but on 24 June she encountered the American privateer ''Young Cromwell'' and was captured again, the ten members of ''Assurance''s crew becoming prisoners of war.",
"Patrolling to the west of Halifax, on 20 September the ship then took the American privateer sloop ''Greyhound''.",
"Again in Boston Bay on 12 October, ''Assurance'' re-captured the merchant brigantine ''Poole'' as her prize crew sailed her towards the port, having captured her off Lisbon.",
"She then re-captured the merchant sloop ''Europia'', which had been captured by an American letter of marque the day before, on 20 October.Also in late October, ''Assurance'' re-captured the merchant schooner ''Ann'' after an eight-hour chase; she had been captured by an American privateer while attempting to sail in to New York.",
"Cumming was replaced by Captain William Swiney towards the end of the year.",
"The ship continued on the North America Station, serving off New York under the orders of Rear-Admiral Robert Digby.",
"During this period ''Assurance'' captured three other ships; the brig ''Adventure'', schooner ''Salisbury'', and sloop ''Phoenix''.",
"Digby also used ''Assurance'' as his flagship in April 1782, writing orders from the vessel.",
"On 23 May the British decided to evacuate their positions at Savannah, Georgia.",
"''Assurance'' was at the time at Charlestown, and Swiney was put in command of the naval part of the evacuation.",
"Thirty-four transport ships arrived on 20 June for the operation, and Swiney's fleet reached the Savannah River in early July.",
"Fortifications were constructed on Tybee Island to house troops waiting to depart, and the evacuation began on 11 July.Alongside the troops, which were sent to Jamaica, there were 3,100 Loyalists and 3,500 Black slaves.",
"Over the next three weeks Swiney coordinated transports that took the population and garrison of Savannah to New York, St Augustine, and Jamaica.",
"The last ship sailed on 24 July, leaving over 5,000 people un-embarked and expected to make their own ways to St Augustine.",
"Towards the start of 1783 Swiney was taken ill and command was temporarily given to the first lieutenant of ''Assurance'', Lieutenant Thomas Williams.",
"The ship was sent out on patrol for several months, during which time Williams found success in prize-taking, capturing a number of vessels.",
"On 20 January ''Assurance'' shared in the capture of the American brigs ''Unity'' and ''Betsey'' alongside the 14-gun sloop HMS ''Hound'', 32-gun frigate HMS ''Cerberus'', 26-gun frigate HMS ''Hussar'', and 18-gun sloop HMS ''Mentor''.",
"Returning to New York in April, Digby promoted Williams to commander and gave him command of the 20-gun ship HMS ''Rhinoceros''.",
"''Assurance'' continued serving in North America until the end of the war, returning to Britain to be paid off in February 1784.===Troop ship===''Rattlesnake'' was captured by ''Assurance'' on 17 June 1781|thumbLaid up at Sheerness Dockyard, ''Assurance'' was repaired between March and October 1785 at a cost of , but was not immediately put back into service.",
"She was finally recommissioned in February 1791 under the command of Commander John Shortland.",
"Intended for use as a troop ship, she underwent conversion at Chatham Dockyard which was completed in April.",
"This work cost a further .",
"Any change in armament at this stage is not recorded, but as troop ships ''Roebuck''-class ships had a crew complement of 155.While ''Assurance'' was undergoing this work and preparing for service her second lieutenant, Lieutenant Jahleel Brenton, was sent ashore at Rochester, Kent, to search for several deserters from the ship.",
"There the locals came under the misapprehension that Brenton was there to press them into ''Assurance'' and a mob formed, after which Brenton and four midshipmen with him were arrested.",
"The mayor had the five officers committed to the local jail; as they were escorted through Rochester the mob attacked them, knocking Brenton to the ground and stealing most of his clothes.",
"The officers were released the following morning, and Brenton reported the event to the Admiralty which then prosecuted the mayor.",
"Brenton was released from service in ''Assurance'' in order that he could stay in Britain for the trial, which subsequently condemned the mayor to pay a penalty of .",
"In the meantime ''Assurance'' had sailed for Halifax, having embarked soldiers and stores on board on 11 May.",
"She returned to Britain later in the year, being paid off again in December.===French Revolutionary Wars===''Assurance'' saw no further service until the French Revolutionary Wars began.",
"In April 1793 the ship was recommissioned by Captain Velters Cornewall Berkeley.",
"Two months later her armament underwent a refit, with the ship now carrying twenty-two 24-pounder carronades on the lower deck and twenty 12-pounder long guns on the upper deck, accompanied by four more carronades on the quarterdeck and two on the forecastle.Berkeley sailed ''Assurance'' to serve in the Mediterranean Sea in February 1794, but stayed there only briefly, moving to the West Indies Station to join Vice-Admiral Sir John Jervis' fleet.",
"Jervis was undertaking a campaign to capture enemy-held islands, and in March ''Assurance'' joined the fleet as in undertook the invasion of Martinique.",
"On 17 March boats from the ship joined with boats from the rest of the fleet to attack French shipping anchored in Fort Royal Bay, which resulted in the capture of the French 32-gun frigate ''Bienvenue'', which was one of only two enemy warships based at Martinique.",

"1915–1917 Wheelbarrow Mine strike"
],
[
"Introduction",
"In 1915, coal miners affiliated with the United Mine Workers (UMW) labor union at the Wheelbarrow Mine in Johnson County, Arkansas, went on strike against the mine's operators, the Pennsylvania Mining Company (PMC).",
"The strike ended in 1917 after the PMC declared bankruptcy and a new company, the Fernwood Mining Company, was established to operate the mine and quickly agreed to recognize the UMW.The prelude to strike action at the Wheelbarrow Mine began in 1910 when the existing contract between the UMW and the Anthracite Coal and Land Company, which owned and, at the time, operated the mine, expired without a replacement contract.",
"In October of that year, PMC was established and began operating the mine under a lease from the Anthracite Coal Company.",
"This new company refused to negotiate with the UMW and began to bring in immigrant workers from Pennsylvania to work at the mine, leading to tension and some sporadic instances of violence between these replacement workers and former UMW miners.",
"For the next several years, the UMW attempted to organize workers at the mine and planned for a strike against PMC, and on June 9, 1915, several miners performed a walkout following a change in company policy regarding how miners were compensated for the amount of coal they mined, resulting in a strike.Following this walkout, UMW officials quickly organized a new local union in Johnson County and made plans for carrying out the strike.",
"Over the next several months, there were several instances of violence between pro- and anti-union sides, and on August 24, a trestle bridge in the county was partially destroyed in an act of sabotage.",
"Following this, UMW official James Moran negotiated with the company a potential end to the strike by the end of the year, but unbeknownst to the union, PMC had by this time initiated legal actions against the union.",
"However, within about one year of filing this lawsuit, PMC declared bankruptcy, in part due to costs associated with the strike and subsequent litigation.",
"PMC ultimately lost the right to operate the Wheelbarrow Mine, and their successor company, the Fernwood Mining Company, quickly recognized the UMW as a collective bargaining organization and negotiated an end to the strike in November 1917.In the ensuing years, PMC and the UMW continued litigating in various courts, with the company alleging that the union had engaged in conspiracy regarding interstate commerce that violated the terms of the Sherman Antitrust Act.",
"However, the union rejected these accusations and, in a final hearing in September 1928, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit sided with the union and rejected the company's case, awarding the UMW court costs.",
"While the union ultimately succeeded in both their strike and subsequent legal battles, the coal industry in Arkansas had by this point entered into a state of decline that hurt unions such as the UMW's influence in the state."

[
"Background",
"=== Coal in Arkansas ===In 1840, coal was discovered in the town of Spadra, in Johnson County, Arkansas, with coal mining operations beginning that same year.",
"Initially, mining was primarily for local use in blacksmithing, but the construction of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad in the 1870s opened the region up for more commercial mining activity, primarily in the counties of Franklin, Johnson, and Sebastian.",
"The coal in this area, a region in the Arkansas River Valley stretching roughly from the city of Russellville to the Oklahoma state border, is mostly bituminous coal, though anthracite is also present in an area known as the Spadra field.",
"By the early 1900s, Arkansas boasted the only anthracite mining operations in the United States between Colorado and Pennsylvania, and in Johnson County, the anthracite vein measured more than in width in some areas and was situated approximately beneath the ground.=== Labor in the coal mines ===After the American Civil War, mine operators in the region relied on convict leasing, though this system fell out of use by the late 1800s following an 1888 investigation by the state government that revealed numerous instances of workers' abuse and death in the mines.",
"Following this, the miners in the region were primarily agricultural workers who engaged in mine working on a part-time basis, and the mines attracted workers from nearby cities such as Jamestown and Clarksville, the county seat of Johnson County.",
"By the late 1800s, mine workers began to organize and conduct strike actions against mine operators, with two of the three strikes reported by the state of Arkansas to the United States Commissioner of Labor between 1881 and 1886 occurring in the coal mines of Spadra.",
"By the 1890s, miners in Arkansas began to join national labor unions, such as the Knights of Labor, and in 1894, roughly 1,400 miners in the state participated in a general strike that had been called by the United Mine Workers (UMW).The UMW had been formed in 1890 and within a few years of its formation had been successful at agitating for increased wages and better working conditions for miners in states such as Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and in 1898, the union began to focus its efforts on organizing miners in Arkansas.",
"In 1899, the union called for its first strike in Arkansas, which fell under the union's District 21, a regional division that also represented workers in Oklahoma and Texas.",
"By 1903, the UMW had achieved union recognition in western Arkansas and began to engage with local mine operators in collective bargaining, and by the end of the decade, almost all miners in the region were members of UMW District 21 and organized into local unions.",
"In 1910, UMW District 21 boasted a membership of roughly 35,000 members, with the workers in Johnson County organized under Local 2773.=== Wheelbarrow Mine ===In the early 1900s, the Wheelbarrow Mine in Johnson County was an anthracite mine owned by the Arkansas-based Anthracite Coal and Land Company, which, as a member of the Southwestern Coal Operators Association (the regional employers' organization), operated the mine under an industry-wide agreement with the UMW.",
"In 1910, the existing contract between the UMW and the Anthracite Coal company was set to expire, but a strike that year affected negotiations on a replacement contract, and as a result, when the contract expired on April 1, the company decided to continue to operate under the terms of the now-expired contract.",
"In October 1910, James Gearhart, a businessman from Scranton, Pennsylvania, who was an officer at the Anthracite Coal company, established the Pennsylvania Mining Company (PMC) to operate the Wheelbarrow Mine.",
"This new company, which was a subsidiary of Anthracite Coal, gained the mining rights for the Wheelbarrow Mine for roughly $484,000 and reneged on the existing deal with the union, operating the mine without a union contract.",
"This decision angered many longtime miners, prompting many of them to seek employment either in other nearby mines or in agriculture.",
"In the ensuing years, local union membership declined from about 100 in 1910 to 13 in 1913, at which time no union member who had worked at the company during its time operated by the Anthracite Coal company worked at the now-PMC operated mine.",
"Within the community, many locals viewed people who continued to work at the Wheelbarrow Mine as scabs.=== Immigrant workers brought in from Pennsylvania ===Given the resignation of many UMW miners, starting in late 1910, PMC began to replace local miners with a primarily immigrant and non-union labor force.",
"Many of these workers were immigrants from Eastern Europe, such as Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Russia, who had been living in Pennsylvania and were brought in by PMC from Scranton to Clarksville via rail transport and then via horse and buggy from Clarksville to the mine.",
"This occurred during a larger trend of eastern European immigrants, including many Slavic people, being recruited by mine operators in western Arkansas, and in total, between 1910 and 1915, a total of roughly 1,500 immigrant workers were active at various points in the Wheelbarrow Mine under PMC operation.For the length of the labor dispute at the Wheelbarrow Mine, the immigrant workers were, in the words of historian Suzanne S. Lewis, \"pawns in a vicious chess game played out between union and management\".",
"National UMW official Thomas King stated that these immigrants were brought to Arkansas from Pennsylvania under false pretenses, alleging that the company had promised the immigrants work in a union mine.",
"On the other side, the union encouraged many immigrants to seek employment in other mines, and the UMW spent approximately $10,000 over the course of the labor dispute on this program.",
"According to one union organizer in Johnson County, many of the immigrants were eager to seek employment elsewhere due to the poor working conditions at the Wheelbarrow Mine.",
"On the other hand, the ''Encyclopedia of Arkansas'' notes that some union members took advantage of the immigrants' poor grasp of English to trick them into moving to other states for work, and there were some instances of immigrant workers facing threats of physical violence from pro-union individuals.=== Increased violence in Johnson County ===As the labor dispute continued, a sense of lawlessness and increasing tension grew in both the nearby towns and the tent camp that housed the immigrant laborers, and while the PMC was initially unconcerned, the company eventually hired armed guards and instituted changes in company policy.",
"These guards primarily kept the workers from leaving the tent camp and prevented locals, including union organizers, from entering the camp, thus damaging unionization efforts among the workers.",
"There were numerous instances, especially in 1911 and 1912, of confrontations between company guards and union activists, and in at least one instance, a company guard worked covertly as a spy for the UMW.",
"By the later half of 1913, the UMW decided to increase their efforts in Johnson County, and in November of that year, during a political rally outside of the courthouse in Clarksville, a union activist called the manager of PMC a \"slave driver\" and urged the townspeople present \"to take shotguns and go down and get them\".",
"In July 1914, there was a violent confrontation between pro- and anti-union activists at the Prairie Creek Mine in Sebastian County, roughly from the Wheelbarrow Mine, prompting PMC to increase security while the UMW began to recruit more active miners in the Wheelbarrow Mine.",
"According to a 2021 article in the ''Southwest Times Record'', 1914 represented a general peak in labor disputes in the coal fields of Arkansas, with the year experiencing several instances of riots and violence in the area.=== Prelude to strike action ===In March 1915, the state legislature passed Act 49, amending a law concerning how coal was measured in non-union mines.",
"The act, which repealed the ban on using screens on scales that measured the amount of coal miners had mined, had the effect of negatively impacting miners' pay, as they stood to receive less money based on the measurement method employed by the company.",
"Around this same time, union officials met with several spies in the mine who stated that many miners in the camp were agitated and prepared for a strike action, although the union leaders insisted that a strike should be held later on in the year, in winter, when the increased demand in coal for heating would give the miners more leverage against the company.",
"Despite these plans, on June 7, three miners, acting independent of the UMW, met with the mine superintendent and requested that the company negotiate directly with the miners over certain policies, such as the company's decision to install screens on the weight scales.",
"The superintendent stated that he could not do anything about the miners' demands until the mine's manager, Fremont Stokes, returned from Pennsylvania in the next several days.",
"While the miners returned to work on the following day, on June 9, many miners refused to report for work, thus beginning a strike that had been developing in a labor dispute stretching back five years."
],
[
"Course of the strike",
"The strike commenced on June 9, with a walkout of several workers from the mine.",
"Later that night, national officers from the UMW, including Pete Hanraty, met with the striking miners and helped establish a new local union for them, oversaw elections for local officer positions, delegated various responsibilities for strike activities, and articulated the miners' list of demands for PMC.",
"Chief among the strikers' demands were union recognition, while other demands grew over the course of the strike to include better working conditions and better pay.",
"However, the company resisted recognizing the union and began to evict striking workers from their company-owned homes, with the union establishing a temporary tent camp for the strikers near the mining camp in Jamestown.",
"The tents were purchased by the union at a cost of $165, while the union also rented the land the camp was located on and assisted strikers with paying for food from the mine's company store.Following this initial walkout, violence associated with the strike became a common occurrence, and rumors spread throughout both the strikers' camp and the active miners' camp about purported acts or threats of violence from the other side.",
"Indicative of this, during the course of the strike, the United States Marshals Service became involved, and on August 24, this violence reached a peak when a trestle bridge in the county was severely damaged in an act of vandalism that heightened tensions between the two sides, especially since the perpetrator was never found.",
"Following the bridge debacle, a union organizer from the Chicago area, James Moran, began to directly negotiate with Gearhart concerning a possible resolution to the strike action.",
"On behalf of the UMW, Moran agreed to disband the tent camp and call off the strike if PMC would rehire the strikers.",
"While reports from Moran in November indicated that the developments were promising, on December 14, Gearhart sent a letter to Moran expressing disappointment with the union and stating that the tent camp was still in place, despite Moran's assurances.",
"At the time that Gearhart had sent this letter, and unbeknownst to Moran or the union, PMC was in the process of initiating a lawsuit against the UMW, arguing that the union had violated terms of the Sherman Antitrust Act.Roughly one year after PMC filed their lawsuit against the union, the company filed for bankruptcy, due in part to the costs associated with the strike and subsequent lawsuit.",
"PMC's rights to operate the Wheelbarrow Mine were rescinded after the company failed to pay the Anthracite Coal Company their royalties, and within several months, a new company, the Fernwood Mining Company, had been established to operate the Wheelbarrow Mine.",
"This new company quickly recognized the UMW as a collective bargaining organization and began operating the mine as a union mine, thus bringing about an end to the strike in November 1917."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"=== Continued legal battle ===Despite the conclusion of the strike, legal actions persisted for several more years between the UMW and PMC over the union's alleged violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act.",
"According to the suit, the company alleged that the union had engaged in conspiracy by negotiating wages with the Central Competitive Field, an employers' organization representing coal mining interests in the Midwestern United States, in an effort to disrupt the interstate commerce of coal mined by non-union mines, such as the Wheelbarrow Mine under PMC operation.",
"The company also alleged that the union had engaged in other unlawful activities, including terrorism, that had affected the company's ability to operate the mine, causing the company to fail to earn an estimated $75,000 per year that their accountants had estimated they could earn from the mine operations.The case was first heard by Judge Frank A. Youmans of the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas in March 1920 at Fort Smith, Arkansas, roughly away from Clarksville.",
"On April 22, Judge Youmans decided in favor of the company and ruled that PMC had suffered $100,000 in damages.",
"For recovery, the judge tripled this amount, ordering the union to pay the company $300,000.However, the union immediately filed an appeal and the case was elevated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.",
"The UMW argued that, as a labor union, they were exempt from the definition of conspiracy listed in the Sherman Antitrust Act based on the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914.Additionally, the union raised questions concerning the legality of some of the PMC's legal counsel's actions and argued that the initial court case had been rife with hearsay and unfounded speculation.",
"On March 11, 1926, the Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's decision and ordered a retrial, overseen by Judge Youmans, which ultimately upheld the Appeals Court's decision, resulting in the union winning court costs, but nothing else.",
"The company then appealed this new ruling to the Appeals Court, which, in a final hearing on the matter in September 1928, sustained their original ruling against the company, bringing close to ten years of litigation to a close.=== Legacy ===Writing about the strike in 1984, historian Suzanne S. Lewis stated that \"the drama between labor and management, performed on a small stage in Jamestown, Arkansas, evolved into a microcosm of the national labor struggle being waged by unions in their fight for respectability during the twenties\".",
"However, despite the union's victory, by 1927, the coal mining industry in Arkansas was in a state of decline and the power of local labor unions, such as the UMW, began to similarly decline as more companies began to employ non-union workers in the region.",
"By 2014, the state of Arkansas produced only about 1,000 tons of coal, compared to 395 million tons produced in Wyoming, the state with the largest coal industry in the United States at that time.",
"Multiple memorials to coal miners exist in Arkansas, particularly in the western part of the state, in cities such as Greenwood and Paris."

[
"Introduction",
"'''First Flight''' was a thoroughbred horse used in the production of the first botulism antitoxin.",
"The horse was used as a research animal between 1978 and 1993 to produce antitoxin for military and civilian personnel.",
"Until the 1990s, serum derived from First Flight was the only source of the antitoxin in the United States."
],
[
"Background",
"First Flight was originally bred as a racehorse, but there are no records of him competing in a race in the National Sporting Library & Museum.",
"He was trained to serve as a caisson horse during military funerals at Arlington National Cemetery.",
"However, the horse was skittish around crowds and prone to bolting."
],
[
"Antitoxin production",
"Botulinum toxin is a highly potent neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, causing paralysis and often leading to death if untreated.",
"There are three naturally occurring subtypes of botulism toxin; however, the four other known subtypes could be weaponised as bio-agents.",
"Horses have been used in the production of antitoxin serum for various diseases since the 19th century due to their physical size and resilience.",
"At age 10, in 1978, First Flight was selected to participate in the botulinum antitoxin program at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland.",
"Another army horse named Abe was also part of the program initially, but experiments and large-scale production of antitoxin utilised only plasma from First Flight, due to its reactivity against all subtypes of botulism toxin.Researchers injected First Flight with modified, less-deadly toxoids from all seven subtypes until he gained immunity via the production of antibodies from his immune system.",
"Then, they injected live bacteria to increase antibody production.",
"There were around ten to one hundred times the amount of antibodies within First Flight's bloodstream than needed to neutralise the toxin.",
"Blood drawn from First Flight was used to develop the antiserum.",
"This program developed the first botulinum antitoxin, and First Flight was its only source until the 1990s.In November 1980, First Flight was moved to the University of Minnesota for large-scale plasmapheresis and long-term storage of antibodies.",
"As part of this, First Flight was immunised every forty to one hundred days and plasmapheresed eight times, each removing 10–15% of the animal's blood volume, during the cycle.",
"While at the University of Minnesota, First Flight was permitted periods of rest and regularly tendered to.",
"He was fed a diet of high-protein grain pellets and a daily hay ration.",
"During his time as a research animal, he was often ill-tempered but not dangerous.",
"Antibodies were harvested from First Flight until 1993, and nearly of blood were removed during his time in Minnesota.In 1990, the U.S. Army requested a large production of botulinum antitoxin from the stored antibodies.",
"It was shipped to Saudi Arabia in 1991 as a precaution to treat soldiers and civilians during the First Gulf War due to concern that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein might use biological weapons containing Botulinum toxin.",
"The antitoxin serum has also been used to treat foodborne botulism and infant botulism."
],
[
"Death and legacy",
"First Flight died from natural causes, aged 31, in his paddock at the Large Animal Research Facility in Fort Detrick.",
"The U.S. Army erected a stone memorial and planted a tree in his honour at Fort Detrick to commemorate his contribution to science.",
"First Flight's ashes are buried nearby.",
"The National Museum of American History holds the horse's halter, lead chain and a vial of antitoxin derived from its blood in its collections.",
", they are not currently on display.In 2010, Heptavalent botulism antitoxin (HBAT) was introduced.",
"It is effective against all seven botulinum toxin subtypes and replaces all earlier non-infant products.",
"HBAT is produced by harvesting antibodies from horses that have been inoculated with botulism, building upon the earlier work developing antitoxin serum from First Flight."

"''Honeggeria'' was one of several genera proposed by these authors (the others were ''Gallowayella'', ''Golubkovia'', ''Oxneria'', and ''Jesmurrayia'') in order to solve the problem of the polyphyletic genus ''Xanthomendoza''.The single species of ''Honeggeria'' was first formally described a year earlier by Kondratyuk and Kärnefelt, who classified it in the genus ''Xanthomendoza''.",

],
[
"Biography",
"Alghabass is the youngest son of prominent Ifoghas Tuareg amenokal Intalla Ag Attaher, and has two older brothers; Mohamed and Attayoub.",
"He was born in Kidal.Before the Mali War broke out in 2012, Alghabass was a deputy in Mali's National Assembly serving Kidal from 2002 to 2012.Politically, Alghabass initially popularity that won him elections in 2002 shrank in 2007 and 2012.When the rebellion began, he joined the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) but quickly switched to Ansar Dine.",
"In Ansar Dine, he claimed to fighting to establish Sharia law in northern Mali.",
"Alghabass quickly became the face of Ansar Dine in political negotiations as the group's second-in-command, and represented the movement in negotiations in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in late 2012.In January 2013, just days before the French intervention of Operation Serval, Alghabass left Ansar Dine and founded the Islamic Movement of Azawad (MIA), of which he was the secretary-general.",
"He announced the dissolution of the MIA in May 2013, joining the High Council for the Unity of Azawad founded by his brother Mohamed instead.Alghabass became the HCUA's secretary-general in July 2014, representing the group along with the Arab Movement of Azawad and the MNLA in negotiations in Algiers in 2014.Following his father Intalla's death in December 2014, Alghabass was expected to succeed him as amenokal of the Ifoghas.",
"This position was instead granted to Mohamed, who was preferred by Intalla before his death.",
"Ifoghas leaders appointed Mohamed for the role because of this, and despite Alghabass' charisma and activity within the Ifoghas community, his past in Ansar Dine could've swayed the decision by the leaders toward Mohamed.On December 16, 2016, and in July 2022, Alghabass succeeded Bilal Ag Acherif as president of the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA).",
"Acherif and Alghabass took turns in the role for the next few months.",
"In 2018, it was speculated that Alghabass still was in contact with jihadist leader and former Ansar Dine compatriot Iyad Ag Ghaly.",
"In December 2019, Alghabass called for the different groups within the CMA to merge into one.In early 2023, tensions between Alghabass and Malian junta leader Assimi Goïta rose over the implementation of the Algiers Accords.",
"Under Alghabass' command, the CMA's groups merged into one entity, left the Algiers Accords, and launched an operation to combat the Islamic State – Sahil Province (ISGS) in northern Mali.",
"A major reason for tension with the Malian junta was the junta's alliance with the Russian Wagner Group, known for its killings of civilians in Mali.",
"Alghabass stepped down from the presidency of the CMA in 2023, being led instead by Ibrahim Ould Handa.Under Alghabass' administration of Kidal region, the CMA was effectively a structured government operating under Islamic law with Islamic courts.",
"Alghabass was the one that signed a CMA statement implementing the qadis, or Islamic judges, which sparked controversy by critics claiming that the CMA and qadis were interconnected, which the CMA decried."

"People's National Movement (Poland)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''People's National Movement''' (, '''RLN''') was a parliamentary group in the 5th legislature (2005-2007) of Sejm of the Republic of Poland.",
"It was founded on 22 September 2006 by former MPs of Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland (, '''SRP''') and League of Polish Families (, '''LPR''') and was a response to both parties distancing themselves from Law and Justice, which they considered breaking their coalition agreement with (the coalition was dissolved in 2007).",
"The goal of the People's National Movement was to keep the coalition with Law and Justice at any cost.As the split further deepended divisions between left-wing populist Self-Defence, National-Catholic League of Polish Families and right-wing populist Law and Justice, the People's National Movement attempted to enter the PiS-SRP-LPR coalition as its fourth member.",
"Once that proposal proved unable to be agreed upon, the group then tried to form an alliance directly with Law and Justice, envisioning to become a minor parent of the party akin to Christian Social Union in Bavaria and its union with the Christian Democratic Union of Germany.",
"In the end, the group was dissolved on 30 November 2006, less than three months after its formation, and all of its members joined Law and Justice."
],
[
"History",
"People's National Movement was formed on 22 September 2006 by 15 MPs: 8 from Samoobrona RP, 5 from the League of Polish Families and 2 independent MPs (formerly in Law and Justice and the Civic Plaform).",
"The new formation included all MPs outside the main political parties except for the representatives of the German Minority Electoral Committee, a left-leaning Christian-democrat party representing Polish Germans.",
"Jan Bestry was appointed chairman of the People's National Movement.",
"The People's National Movement was in opposition to Andrzej Lepper breaking the coalition with Law and Justice.The grouping was in talks to form a government coalition with PiS and LPR during the period when Samoobrona RP was not in it (from 22 September 2006 to 16 October 2006).",
"On 13 October 2006, MPs Zygmunt Wrzodak and Marian Daszyk left the People's National Movement and rejoined Samoobrona, becoming the party's MPs once again.",
"While this endangered the existence of the grouping (a minimum of 15 MPs were required), their places were subsequently taken by Piotr Cybulski, formerly a Civic Platform member, and Henryk Młynarczyk - a dissident Samoobrona RP MP.The existence of the grouping and its attempt to maintain the coalition with Law and Justice prompted Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of PiS, to further encourage defections from Samoobrona RP.",
"Attempts to win support for Jarosław Kaczyński's government from successive Self-Defence MPs took the form of political corruption involving the Law and Justice party leaders in the persons of Adam Lipiński and Wojciech Mojzesowicz and, on the part of Samoobrona, Renata Beger.",
"However, the public disclosure to the public of the behind-the-scenes activities of politicians effectively blocked the chances of winning majority support for the government in this way.People's National Movement and its MPs led extensive negotiations and held talks to maintain the coalition between Samoobrona RP, League of Polish Families and Law and Justice in October and November 2006.One of the main proposals of the party was to reach its own agreement with Law and Justice that would make it formally enter the coalition as its 4th member, but this idea was rejected.",
"Afterwards, the grouping promoted the concept of a 5-member grand coalition that would include not only Samoobrona RP, League of Polish Families, PiS and People's National Movement, but also the agrarian Polish People's Party.",
"Leader of the People's National Movement, Jan Bestry, declared his readiness to negotiate with Samoobrona RP, arguing that it \"may be difficult, but not impossible\".",
"Regarding PSL, Bestry declared that his formation is very close to PSL.However, Andrzej Lepper ruled out a coalition that would include People's National Movement, as the grouping was compose of dissident MPs that abandoned his party.",
"The formation criticized Lepper's decision and argued that talks with it were not only necessary, but also possible given the possible ideological closeness between it and Samoobrona RP.",
"However, the coalition talks failed after Polish People's Party declared that it would not enter a coalition with Law and Justice, effectively rendering the grand coalition project impossible.",
"The RLN blamed Samoobrona RP for the failure of negotiations, and accused it of preferring a coalition with left-wing parties instead.Eventually, the grouping entered talks with Law and Justice to propose its sister party, with the leader of the grouping, Józef Cepil, stating: \"We want to be for the Law and Justice Party what the CSU is for the CDU in our German neighbours.\"",
"Law and Justice signed an agreement with the formation to maintain its parliamentary majority.",
"However, instead of turning the grouping into its sister party, Law and Justice offered the MPs to dissolve the formation and join them.",
"The grouping accepted the offer, and on 30 November 2006, the People's National Movement was dissolved and its MPs became members of Law and Justice."
],
[
"Electoral Committee",
"Prior to the 2006 local government elections, the People's Natinoal Movement Parliamentary Club submitted its own lists of candidates for local government in five provinces at commune and district level as the People's Christian Movement Electoral Committee.",
"Jan Bestry became the election plenipotentiary of the committee.",
"In elections to provincial assemblies, under an electoral agreement with the Law and Justice party (PiS), candidates of the People's National Movement took fifth places on the lists of the Law and Justice party.",
"Among the grouping's candidates, only two candidates obtained councillor seats: Roman Marciniuk and Wiesław Ułasiuk (both on the municipal council of Olszanka, in the Łosice County, Mazowieckie Voivodeship).",
"The best-known candidate of the grouping in this election was Piotr Misztal, a candidate for Mayor of Łódź, who came 4th out of 13 candidates, winning 8952 votes, i.e.",
"4.04%.",
"In the second round, he gave his support to PiS candidate Jerzy Kropiwnicki, who was elected for a second term."
],
[
"Ideology",
"According to the grouping, it hoped to \"become a base for national-agrarian minded people\".",
"It compared itself to the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and aspired to be a sister party of the right-wing populist Law and Justice.",
"It described itself as closest to the agrarian Polish People's Party in terms of ideology and described the coalition with it, together with Law and Justice, Samoobrona RP and LPR as its ideal government.It supported the proposal of League of Polish Families to modify the 38th article of the Polish constitution to include \"legal protection of life\", which would have implemented a constitutional ban on abortion.",
"Economically, the People's National Movement called for a 'solidarist state', which it described as an economy where welfare benefits and economic development would serve the poorest and not the 'narrow elite'.The ideological profile of the grouping was unclear given its mixed character and provisional organisation.",
"Its close cooperation and eventual absorption by Law and Justice implies a right-leaning political position of the formation.",
"However, conservative Radio Maryja criticized the grouping, arguing that despite its cooperation with Law and Justice, the presence of the conservative-nationalist current was marginal and its electoral list promoted 'liberal-leaning' candidates.",
"According to Jan Bestry, the main goal of the People's National Movement was to help the farmers and support agrarianism.",
"He accused Samoobrona RP of trying to breach the coalition with PiS in favour of one with Civic Platform and social-democratic Democratic Left Alliance, given the far-left character of Samoobrona."

"General environmental duty"

[
"Introduction",
"The '''general environmental duty''' (GED) is a legal duty in Australian law stating that each person is responsible for their actions affecting the environment.",
"To do so, they should take all reasonable measures to minimise the harm done to the environment before carrying out any activity."
],
[
"Definition",
"The general environmental duty means that no one, whether individual or business, must carry out any activity that causes or is likely to cause environmental harm unless all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm are taken.The general environmental duty can be assimilated to a duty of care.Some criteria may help determine a general environmental duty such as:* The nature and severity of the harm or potential harm* Sensitivity of the environment of the operation* Current state of technical knowledge and best practices for the activity* Likelihood of possible measures being successful in preventing and minimising harm* Financial implications of taking different measures for people and businessesTo determine whether or not the general environment duty is reasonably practicable, the following options may be considered:* Degree of harm that would happen if the risks occurred* Likelihood of the risks occurring* Knowledge about the harm or risks of harm and ways of reducing the risks* Availability and suitability of the ways of reducing risks* Cost of eliminating risks"
],
[
"Australia",
"=== Queensland ===The General Environmental Duty is listed in the ''Environmental Protection Act 1994'' (EP Act) among other obligations and duties to prevent environmental harm, nuisances and contamination.",
"In addition to the GED, another primary duty applies to everyone in Queensland: the duty to notify of environmental harm, which requires to inform authorities, landowners and/or occupiers when an event caused or may cause harm to the environment.=== Victoria ===The GED was incorporated in Victorian law in 2018 through the ''Environment Protection Amendment Act 2018.''",
"This Amendment is major in Victoria as it puts the emphasis on creating preventive measures rather than managing the aftermath of pollutions.Section 25 of the Amendment, GED states that a person commits and indictable offence if they don't minimise the risks of harm to human health or the environment of their actions as long as it's reasonably practicable.EPA Victoria supports businesses in meeting their obligations and is entitled to commence proceedings against them if they breach their duty.Reporting pollution and littering is considered a general environmental duty.=== Northern Territory ===The GED is incorporated in the Northern Territory legislation with the duty to notify of environmental harm through the ''Environment Protection Act 2019'' and Waste Management and Pollution Control Act 1998."

"Mosque of Ulmas al-Hajib"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Mosque of Ulmas al-Hajib''' or '''funerary mosque of Amir Ulmas al-Hajib''' is a historic mosque and mausoleum in Cairo, Egypt.",
"It was commissioned by a Mamluk official named Sayf al-Din Ulmas and its construction was completed in 1329–1330 CE."
],
[
"History",
"Sayf al-Din Ulmas was an ''amir'' (commander or high official) under the Mamluk sultan al-Nasir Muhammad.",
"He rose through the Mamluk ranks as a ''jashankir'' (foodtaster), then a ''hajib'' (chamberlain), and eventually became the sultan's deputy.",
"Exterior of the mosque, with part of the foundation inscription visible across the façadeThe mosque Ulmas founded was built in a neighbourhood known as Hadarat al-Baqar, located west of Cairo's Citadel.",
"An inscription on the mosque's entrance dates its foundation to 729 AH (1328–1329 CE) and its completion to 730 AH (1329–1330 CE).",
"According to contemporary writer al-Safadi, Ulmas imported marble from Syria, Anatolia, and other places overseas in order to complete the mosque and its decoration.",
"Ulmas was executed in 1333, three years after the mosque's completion, apparently on suspicions of plotting against the sultan.",
"He was buried in the mausoleum attached to his mosque.In 1713, during the Ottoman era, the mosque's minaret collapsed and was rebuilt in its current form.",
"The craftsmen of the time re-used the old minaret's stones and tried to rebuild the tower in a Mamluk style, but were unable to match the craftsmanship of the Mamluk era.",
"By the early 21st century, the mosque was closed and had suffered from water damage.",
"It was re-opened in 2010 after undergoing restoration by a local Egyptian firm."
],
[
"Architecture",
"=== Overall layout ===The general layout of the mosque is a traditional hypostyle building with a central courtyard.",
"As the mosque's prayer area is aligned with the ''qibla'' (direction of Mecca) but the street outside is not, the mosque's external façade has a different alignment from the rest of the structure and the entrance involves a bending passage from the street to the mosque interior.",
"The floor plan is also irregular and asymmetrical due to the constraints of the surrounding streets and houses.",
"The mausoleum, whose dome is easily visible from the street, occupies the northwestern corner of the building, close to the entrance.",
"Unlike most Mamluk mausoleums, it is not aligned with the ''qibla''.",
"The minaret rises to the south of the entrance.=== Exterior ===Among the most notable details of the mosque are its entrance portal and its outer windows.",

[
"Early life",

],
[
"Career",
"''The Night Owl'' marks director Ahn Tae-jin's official debut as a director 17 years after being an assistant director for Lee Jun-ik's ''The King and the Clown'' in 2005.This is the first work presented to the audience under the title.It took him 17 years to direct his first film.",
"After filming The King and the Clown ended, Ahn began writing the screenplay and completed a noir screenplay with the working title Diver within a year.",
"He sent this to the film company, but there was no response.",
"Even after that, the work fell through several times.",
"There were 10 scenarios or treatments (more detailed outlines than synopses) written before The Night Owl.",
"All failed in investment and casting.",
"The action noir scenario, which took nearly three years to complete, was brought to the production stage by recruiting famous actors around 2011, but failed to receive investment.",

"The district he was in charge of at the time was Chungmuro.",
"When he went to a film studio to deliver something, he would leave the item behind and sneak out.",
"He even earned about 1 million won a month through early morning milk delivery.",
"What he realized at that time was that his favorite thing to do was movies.",
"The anxiety that he would never be able to work in movies again if his debut film went wrong became the driving force that made him pour all his effort into it.In 2018, Ahn was first offered to write the story by Baek Yeon-ja, CEO of Damdam, a film company.",
"At first, there was only a very simple narrative: the main character with blindness enters the palace and witnesses a secret.",
"The idea was so interesting that he accepted the offer and added to the story using the thriller genre, which he always liked.At the end of 2022, when the slump in Korean films was severe, the number of viewers reached 3.32 million, ranking 8th in the annual box office in 2022.Among the works released at the same time, The Night Owl is the only Korean film to exceed 1 million viewers.In particular, the moment when his debut feature film, The Night Owl, which he released 17 years after rewriting numerous scripts after working as an assistant director for the 2005 film 'The King and the Clown', was named the winner of the Best Picture award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, was a moment that gave hope to all filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers."

"Kegham Djeghalian"

[
"Introduction",
"'''Kegham Avedis Garabet Djeghalian''' ( and ; 1915–1981) was an Armenian-Palestinian photographer.",
"He opened the first photography studio in Gaza in 1944, where he became known for his photographs documenting daily life and political events over four decades."
],
[
"Biography",
"Djeghalian was born in Anatolia.",
"As a toddler, he fled to Syria, disguised as a girl with his mother and uncle as survivors of the Armenian Genocide, having lost most of his family members.",
"However, his mother died, and Djeghalian was placed in an orphanage in Lebanon.",
"In his teens, he moved to Palestine, where he lived in Jerusalem and Jaffa and trained in photography as an apprentice.Upon marrying Zevart Nakashian in 1944, Djeghalian relocated to Gaza, settling in Al-Zaytoun, and opened the city's first photography studio named Photo Kegham on Omar Mokhtar Street.",
"Local families would come to Photo Kegham to have their portraits taken, or hire Djeghalian to photograph events such as weddings and parties.",
"Although he was Christian and barely spoke Arabic at first, Djeghalian integrated well and would enroll his children in Arabic-language schools.Present for the social and political changes the Strip saw through the years, Djeghalian captured Gazan daily life under the British Mandate, Egyptian rule, and Israeli occupation, as well as in refugee camps that came about after the Nakba.",
"\"He was not a photojournalist.",
"He did not work for any publication.",
"He just had this urge to document everything\", according to his grandson Kegham Djeghalian Jr. His work includes photographs of buildings and infrastructure, like train stations, that no longer exist.In particular, Djeghalian was able to document events such as the Khan Yunis massacre and the Naksa.",
"Notable figures Djeghalian photographed include Che Guevara during his 1959 trip to Gaza; actor Yul Brynner; Egyptian leaders Farouk, Naguib, Nasser, and Sadat; and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru as Indian troops were serving in the UN Force.While his family left for Egypt in light of the 1967 Six-Day War, Djeghalian decided to stay in Gaza as \"He loved Palestine.",
"He loved Gaza.",
"It was his home.\"",
"Around that time, Djeghalian worked with other Armenian photographers in the West Bank to send negatives to Egyptian intelligence.",
"He earned the nickname Al Musawer Al Fedai (the Guerrilla Photographer)."
],
[
"Legacy",
"After his death in 1981, Studio Photo Kegham passed to Djeghalian's assistant Maurice/Morris Tarazi and later to Tarazi's brother Marwan Tarazi (who was killed in the 2023 Church of Saint Porphyrius airstrike).",
"Djeghalian is well remembered among Gazan Palestinians, both in Gaza and the diaspora.In 2020, Djeghalian and his photography were the subject of a Deutsche Welle (DW) documentary titled ''Preserving Gaza's photographic history'', directed by Tania Krämer and featuring interviews with archivist Marwan Tarazi, Djeghalian's daughter Anahid Boutin, photographer Shareef Sarhan, and music producer Ayman Mghamis.",
"The following year, an Arabic-language documentary from ''Al Jazeera'' titled ''Gaza's First Photographer: Kegham Djeghalian'', directed by Marwa Jabara Tibi, won the Bronze Prize at the Jordan Arab Media Festival.Djeghalian's grandson Kegham Djeghalian Jr, an artist, creative director, and academic, discovered a box of Djeghalian Sr's negatives at his father's apartment and took them back to Paris to develop them.",
"In 2021, he curated an exhibition titled ''Photo Kegham of Gaza: Unboxing'' for Cairo Photo Week at the Rawabet Art Space.",
"He emphasised the theme of \"a disrupted history\", a frustration shared by Palestinians and Armenians.",
"One of the burdens of going through this work, he said, is the potential for what remained of it in Gaza to be lost.Djeghalian Jr and journalist Dana Al-Sheikh in October 2023 complained that ''Vice'' had re-published their 2021 interview about ''Photo Kegham of Gaza: Unboxing'' in a way that pushed \"Zionist narratives\", such as adding context about Hamas taking power, which did not occur until decades after Djeghalian Sr's death.",
"Al-Sheikh called it \"blatant forgery.",
"The images tell the story of Palestine and the possibilities of Palestinian life, free of occupation.",
"\"The photographs are being displayed at the Photographers' Gallery in London in 2024 in partnership with the Barakat Trust and the Armenian Institute, as well as the University of Amsterdam's Spui25.Djeghalian Jr gave a talk in conversation with Rachel Dedman at the former and Özge Calafato and Karène Sanchez Summerer at the latter."

"Kanjō Shinpō"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The was a Japanese- and Korean-language newspaper published in Seoul, Joseon (later Korean Empire).",
"It was founded in either late 1894 or February 1895, and ran until it was acquired by the Japanese Resident-General of Korea in 1906.It was then merged with another newspaper, ''Daitō Shinpō'', and became the ''Keijō Nippō''.In 1895, its employees were all infamously involved in the assassination of the Korean queen.It has since been described by historians as a \"propaganda newspaper\" that promoted Japan's interests in Korea."
],
[
"Background",
"Beginning around the 1860s, groups of young men that engaged in political violence emerged in Japan.",
"They were called '''' () by the press, which literally meant \"manly warrior\", but developed the connotation of \"thug\".",
"Beginning in the 1880s, a number of them moved to Korea to forward nationalist goals.",
"A number of them became journalists, and became associated with various Japanese newspapers in Korea.Around the time of the 1894–1895 First Sino-Japanese War, Minister of Foreign Affairs Inoue Kaoru felt that a newspaper was needed not only for the Japanese residents in Seoul, but also the Korean residents.",
"At the time, no newspaper was being published in Seoul, with the historic Korean-run newspaper ''Tongnip Sinmun'' yet to begin publication.",
"Inoue came into contact with Adachi Kenzō through the introduction of the Japanese consul in Busan.",
"Adachi had just recently founded the ''Chōsen Jihō'' newspaper in Busan.",
"Adachi offered to start a newspaper, and submitted a proposal for its creation.",
"Inoue accepted the proposal and provided Ministry of Foreign Affairs funding for the paper."
],
[
"Early history",
"The newspaper's staff in front of their headquartersAdachi had significant control over the paper, although he was supervised by Inoue.",
"Adachi recruited a staff that included head writer , editor Kobayakawa Hideo (), reporter Sasaki Tadashi (), and Korean reporter Yun Don-gu ().",
"An article in the ''Encyclopedia of Korean Culture'' notes that Adachi had little prior experience in journalism, and describes the paper as more of an impromptu activist group than a newspaper.Adachi and Kunitomo had significant ties to Tenyūkyō, with Adachi reportedly having previously massacred Chinese merchants during the Sino-Japanese War.",
"The historian Danny Orbach claims the Kanjō Shinpō became \"a new center for ruffianism\".Advertisements on the fourth page of an issue (1900)Initially, each issue was released every other day.",
"According to the ''Encyclopedia of Korean Culture'', the format of the paper changed a number of times.",
"In one issue, the first two pages were in Korean, the third page was in Japanese, and the fourth contained advertisements.",
"Each page had four columns, with 36 lines per column and 17 characters per line.",
"On January 23, 1896, a Korean version of the paper in mixed script began to be published under the same name.",
"Page sizes were increased beginning with the 102nd issue.",
"On October 1, 1903, Korean and Japanese versions of the paper began to be printed daily.The ''Encyclopedia of Korean Culture'' asserts that the ''Kanjō Shinpō'' likely influenced later Korean newspapers, as Japan had greater experience and technology with newspapers and because there was no native Korean newspaper in Seoul at the time.In the paper's early history, the paper advocated for general reforms in Korea, which led it to be popular amongst Koreans.",
"It even ended up publishing the first serialized Korean novel.",
"However, sentiment eventually turned against the ''Kanjō Shinpō'' as it began publishing more and more pro-Japanese narratives that advocated for Korea's takeover by Japan."
],
[
"Assassination of Queen Min",
"The politically active Queen Min (posthumously styled \"Empress Myeongseong\") became a focal point for ''sōshi'' frustration.",
"According to Orbach, a mix of racism, sexism, and political agendas led to members of the ''Kanjō Shinpō'' taking the lead in plotting her assassination.",
"Ultimately, the new Japanese emissary Miura Gorō recruited all of the ''Kanjō Shinpō's'' staff in a plot to kill the queen.",
"They executed the plot on October 8, and were acquitted of all charges in a highly controversial and criticized trial.The paper later reported on the assassination, and falsely claimed that it had been led by the Korean Heungseon Daewongun, a rival of the Queen's, and executed by the Hullyeondae.",
"Adachi remained as president of the newspaper, and stayed in Japan to run in parliamentary politics.",
"He later became the Minister of Communications.",
"Most of the other plotters returned to Korea and became key voices of the Japanese resident community.In 1896, fearing for his own safety, King Gojong fled to the Russian legation for protection.",
"The April 19, 1896 issue of the paper contained a children's song that ridiculed Gojong for this, which led to public outrage."
],
[
"Later years and end",
"Following the ''Kanjō Shinpō's'' example, a number of native Korean newspapers began being published.",
"They published nationalist narratives that combatted the pro-Japanese narratives in the ''Kanjō Shinpō''.",
"In response, the Japanese government began investing significant funds in Japanese newspapers.Kikuchi Kenjō (菊池謙讓), one of the assassins of Queen Min and former correspondent of the '''', became editor-in-chief of the ''Kanjō Shinpō'' upon his return to Korea.",
"He became deeply involved in Korean court politics, as he gained the favor of the Heungseon Daewongun.",
"Kikuchi published daily articles that portrayed in graphic detail the brutality of Russian conquest north of Korea, which stoked anti-Russian sentiment in the Korean court.",
"Kikuchi began keeping the Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Pak Chesoon, personally up to date on developments there.Kikuchi was made president of the ''Kanjō Shinpō'' in 1900.In 1903, the newspaper's headquarters burnt down, and he oversaw its rebuilding with funds from the Japanese legation.",
"That year, the Japanese legation became dissatisfied with Kikuchi's performance, and had him resign.",
"On April 18, 1904, he founded another Japanese newspaper in Korea, ''Daitō Shinpō''.The paper was acquired by the Resident-General of Korea on July 31, 1906.Its final issue was No.",
"2069.Afterwards, it, the ''Daitō Shinpō'', and five other newspapers were merged and became the ''Keijō Nippō.''"
