],
[

"The '''1859 Victorian colonial election''' was held from 26 August to 26 September 1859 to elect the 2nd Parliament of Victoria.",
"All 78 seats in 49 electorates in the Legislative Assembly were up for election, though eight seats were uncontested.",
"This election was the first held in Victoria after the electoral rolls were compiled according to the principle of manhood suffrage.There were 24 single-member, 21 two-member and 4 three-member electorates.The conservative ministry of John O'Shanassy was defeated at the election."

],
[
"Aftermath",
"Kilmore electorate, ''Melbourne Punch'', 8 September 1859.After the election the second parliament of Victoria assembled on 13 October 1859.With O'Shanassy's ministry \"in a hopeless minority\", the liberal member William Nicholson moved a motion of no-confidence in the government, which was carried by fifty-six votes to seventeen.",
"Nicholson was then commissioned to form a ministry.",
"Nicholson's ministry, which included James McCulloch as Treasurer and James Service as the minister in charge of the Lands Department, assumed office on October 29.In January 1860 Service introduced a Land Act in response to calls from proponents of land reform based upon the 1857 Land Convention, some of whom had been elected to the Legislative Assembly.",
"Its fundamental principle was the abolition of the sale by auction of country land, allowing for the sale of blocks at one pound an acre with deferred payments of up to three-quarters of the amount and severe penalties for the failure to carry out improvements.",
"However the bill fell short of the Land Convention demands and a number of amendments were made by committee in the lower house before the bill was passed and sent to the Legislative Council.",
"In the upper house, dominated by pastoral interests, a multitude of amendments were made undermining the intent of the legislation before it was returned to the Assembly.Nicholson's government had become wedged between popular pressure for meaningful land reform and the implacable opposition of pastoralists.",
"In response to the obstruction Service carried a motion that the Land Bill be returned intact to the upper house, but the Council continued to resist.",
"Nicholson resigned on two occasions over the deadlock (in late-May and early-August 1860), but each time Governor Barkly re-appointed him after determining there was no viable alternative.On the afternoon 28 August 1860, after speeches in the Eastern Market reserve by Land Convention supporters, a large crowd assembled in the yard adjoining Parliament House in Spring Street where the legislative chambers were in session.",
"During an adjournment several members \"identified with the pastoral interest\", who were departing from the building, were harassed and manhandled by the crowd and one of them was struck with a stone.",
"About thirty policemen were placed at the entrance to the lobbies and resisted several attempts by the mob to occupy the building.",
"During the melee stones were thrown and a large plate-glass window was broken.",
"A group of about ten mounted police then entered the yard and \"commenced spurring and leaping their horses in all directions\".",
"After repeated charges by the mounted troopers, the crowd was driven from the parliamentary yard with the assistance of the foot police.",
"Further confrontations between police and agitators occurred in the surrounding streets before order was restored.",
"Many injuries occurred on both sides and at least nine arrests were made.The Land Act, \"in a travesty of its original form\", was finally passed into law on 18 September 1860, but the legislation proved to be an unworkable document.",
"The upper house amendments that remained neutralised many of the original intended reforms and the operation of the Act favoured the established landholders.",
"James Service subsequently resigned from the ministry \"in disgust at the treatment his Bill had received\".When the parliament resumed sitting on 20 November 1860 the Nicholson ministry faced a no-confidence motion, which was carried.",
"Nicholson resigned and, \"after much confusion and factional manoeuvring\", a ministry was formed with Richard Heales as Premier and John H. Brooke as the Minister of Lands.",
"The government led by Heales was liberal in outlook but depended on the support of conservatives like O'Shanassy and Charles Ebden, whose co-operation (as it turned out) could not be relied upon.",
"The tenuous political alliance of the Heales ministry was described by ''The Argus'' newspaper as \"this bizarre combination of opposite atoms\".The colony was experiencing an economic downturn that began in the late 1850s and the new government faced a serious budget deficit.",
"In January 1861 the Assembly voted against the ministry's spending proposals in its appropriation bill and the government only survived after Heales promised expenditure cuts in place of tax increases.",
"On 13 June 1861 the member for Gippsland, George Hedley, proposed a motion of no-confidence in the Heales ministry.",
"After a debate of twenty-one hours of continuous sitting, the motion was carried by a majority of eighteen.",
"Rather than resign, Heales and his Attorney-General, Richard Ireland, managed to convince the Governor to dissolve the Assembly to enable the calling of an early election.",
"Heales went to the election with a radical platform, advocating reform of the Legislative Council (as a preliminary to land reform), a general system of education, the payment of lower house members and tariff protection for local industry."

"Killiney Castle"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Killiney Castle''', also known as '''Mount Malpas''', '''Rocksborough''', or '''Loftus Hill''', and now known as '''Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel''', is an 18th-century manor house near Killiney in County Dublin, Ireland.",
"Subsequently converted into a hotel, it has operated as one since 1971."
],
[
"History",
"As of the 13th century, the lands on which Killiney Castle was later built, was reputedly under the control of the Talbots of Malahide.===18th century development===Colonel John Malpas constructed Mount Malpas, now known as Killiney Castle, in 1740.An advertisement in Falkiner's ''Dublin Journal'' of 1752 suggests that Malpas may have rented the castle in its early years: \"Roxborough, formerly called Mount Malpas, containing 150 acres of land enclosed by a stone wall and a new well-furnished house of six rooms and two large closets on a floor with offices\".",
"The original Mount Malpas was a Georgian mansion, with two-storeys over a basement.",
"By the mid-18th century the estate was known as \"Loftus Hill\" and associated with Henry Loftus (MP for Bannow in County Wexford and later Viscount of Ely).",
"By the 1780s, the leaseholder was Humphrey Minchin.=== Bourchier (1797-1834) ===Early in the 1700s, Northamptonshire soldier Thomas Bouchier/Bourchier settled in County Tipperary.",
"His descendants later intermarried with other Irish families.",
"By the beginning of the 19th century, their primary home was Killiney Castle in County Dublin.",
"A descendent of Thomas Bourchier, also known as Thomas Bourchier, was the Clerk of the Crown, Hanaper, and Usher of the Black Rod in the Irish House of Commons.",
"He was a resident of Killiney Castle, and his relocation to the area may have coincided with his appointment as deputy clerk in July 1797.In the Tithe Applotment Book of 1826, the owner and occupier of \"Mount Mapas\" is listed as Thomas Bourcheir Esq.",
"An entry in the ''Dublin Penny Journal'', dated to August 1834, describes the main house as:=== Warren Era (1834-1872) ===Holy Trinity Church was built on the demesne of Killiney House (castle) in 1848By the mid-19th century, the estate was associated with Robert Warren, a solicitor and developer who had made a fortune selling land to the Dublin and Bray Railway.",
"Warren's home, Killiney House, was renamed Killiney Castle after it was given crenellations.",
"These works were completed and are attributed by several sources, including the ''Dictionary of Irish Architects'', to Warren's relative, architect Sandham Symes.",
"The works included the installation of castellations, fake medieval corner towers, turrets, battlements and a Gothic porch.",
"A Church of Ireland church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was also built on the demesne in 1859.Warren had influence with the railway company since he owned the coastal lands along the rail route from Dalkey to Bray and beyond.",
"After some negotiation, a tunnel was built, allowing the line to open.",
"As part of the agreement, Obelisk Hill Halt was built on Warren's land, increasing the value of his holdings and quickening the rate of local development.By the early 1870s, a number of Warren's investments and development projects had failed and, in 1871, the Landed Estates Court obliged him to sell the Killiney land at auction to pay off related debts.",
"Following the auction, in which Victoria Castle was purchased for £5,000-0-0 by Humphrey Lloyd, the provost of Trinity College at the time, Warren had enough money to pay off his main creditors.",
"After he gave the court more than £11,000-0-0, the remaining properties were taken out of the auction.",
"He remained in Killiney Castle, passing it to his son, Robert Warren (junior), by 1873.===Jesuit house===By the mid-1870s, the house had been purchased by the Jesuit Order in Ireland, for use as a \"villa holiday house\".",
"The Jesuits occupied the house between 1877 and 1880.=== Thomas Chippendall Higgin ===Thomas Chippendall Higgin purchased the house around 1880.He built a half-octagonal castellated tower, a cut-stone doorway, and an entrance porch to the front of the castle.",
"The door-case is in the style of the seventeenth century and has a carved plaque.",
"Higgin was buried atop Dalkey Hill in 1906, where a broken cross is inscribed with the words \"Dust thou art, to dust returneth, Was not spoken of the soul\".===20th century===The castle was used as a base by the Black and Tans in the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921) and by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during the Irish Civil War (1922–1923).",
"Subsequently burned and largely abandoned, the castle was reputedly used as a base, for the IRA's campaign of sabotage and bombings, in the 1930s.",
"The building was requisitioned and used as billets for Irish Army during The Emergency (1939–1945).Subsequently acquired by the Fitzpatrick family, the castle was converted and opened as a hotel in the early 1970s."
],
[
"Demesne",
"The obelisk on Killiney Hill has an inscription mentioning John Mapas (dated 1742) and a plaque marking its restoration by then estate owner Robert Warren (dated 1840)At the time of its construction in the 18th century, the 150-acre Killiney Castle estate was surrounded by a stone wall, with the exception of the sea, \"where nature had sufficiently enclosed them\".",
"Originally known as Mount Mapas, the surrounding demesne and gardens were planted with assortment of flowers and fruit trees.According to Peter Wilson's ''Dublin Directory'' of 1768, Henry Loftus, undertook several enhancements to the home and gardens.",
"Described as being \"enclosed with high stone walls, stocked with the best fruit trees, and such a collection of flowers as must captivate the most insensible eye\", Loftus reputedly laid a new carriage road around Killiney Hill, blasting rock outcrops and filling them in with earth, and planting a variety of trees and shrubs on the hill's west side.",
"Wilson adds that although Loftus had planned to construct a banqueting house in the woods, he instead devoted his energies to works at Rathfarnham Castle.Bourchier's Obelisk, within Killiney Hill Park, is listed in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council's Record of Protected Structures.",
"This may be the smaller obelisk (compared to the Killiney Hill Obelisk) mentioned in Francis Erlington Ball's ''History Of The County Dublin'', in which it is reported that \"in 1796 .. a memorial was about to be placed on the hill, in pursuance of the will of the last Mr. Mapas, who left a large sum for the erection of a monument to his family\".",
"Thomas Bourchier (d.1832) seems to have completed this task."

"Berlin Conference (March 26-27, 1917)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Berlin Conference''' of March 26–27, 1917 was the second governmental meeting between Arthur Zimmermann and Ottokar Czernin, the German and Austro-Hungarian foreign ministers, under the chairmanship of Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg.",
"The meeting was intended to define the war aims of the Imperial Reich and the Dual Monarchy, and to prepare for the first official meeting between German Emperor Wilhelm II and the new Emperor-King Charles I.",
"At a time when changes in political personnel were taking place in the Dual Monarchy, which was becoming increasingly exhausted by the protracted conflict, this meeting was the first sign of disagreement between the two allies over the conditions for ending the conflict."
],
[
"Context",
"=== The Central Powers and the Russian Revolution ===The February Revolution temporarily put an end to military operations on the Eastern Front; however, the Russian provisional government's decision to remain loyal to the alliances concluded by the imperial regime obliged the Reich and its allies to keep a large number of divisions on the ground to face the Russian troops.Differences in interpretation of the events in Russia quickly became a gulf of incomprehension between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy.",
"Austro-Hungarian officials interpreted the Russian revolutionary events of February as a desire for peace; moreover, faced with a tense domestic situation, both the German and Austro-Hungarian civilian populations could aspire to a revolution, a possible prelude to a rapid end to the conflict.However, despite the new Russian government's determination to continue the war, the revolution and the resulting turmoil meant that the Russian Army's operational capabilities were temporarily lost; aware of this reality, the military planners of the Reich and the Dual Monarchy quickly redeployed part of their armies then engaged on the Eastern Front to Italy, the Balkans and the West.=== War aims of the Quadruple Alliance ===In response to an official German request made on October 18, 1916, Stephan Burián von Rajecz, then Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, sent a note to his Quadruple allies on November 5, 1916, in which he specified the war aims of the Dual Monarchy, in search of an \"increase in power and security.",
"\"In the days that followed, the Reich ambassadors posted in Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire sent the Bulgarian and Ottoman governments requests for clarification on the matter of war aims.",
"Differences of opinion centered on the Bulgarian annexations and the compensation to be granted to the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians.On January 1, 1917, the Imperial Chancellor, informed of these various programs, published the conditions for an equitable peace for the Reich government.",
"The result of a compromise between civilians and the military, this program called for the annexation of the territories occupied by the Reich in Courland and Lithuania, the reconstitution of a Kingdom of Poland closely controlled by the Reich, the annexation of the mining fields of French Lorraine and Belgium, and the return of the German colonies then occupied by the Allies.=== Divergences between the Allies ===The accession of Charles I in December 1916 did not seem to alter the Dual Monarchy's management of the war, keen as it was to put an end to Austro-Hungarian involvement in the conflict.",
"Nevertheless, Charles did change the Dual Monarchy's policy towards the Reich, no longer rallying unconditionally to German aspirations.This aspiration to change the terms of the alliance between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy was reflected in Emperor-King Charles's desire to conclude a compromise peace with the Allies, based on the status quo; this political change appeared necessary in the eyes of the monarch and his entourage, aware of the general decay of the Dual Monarchy at the end of 30 months of conflict.To negotiate the compromise peace desired by the Austro-Hungarian monarch, emissaries were sent to Switzerland in early February 1917 to meet diplomats representing neutral states; these meetings were intended to restore relations with France, which were initially informal and discreet.",
"In reality, however, the Dual Monarchy negotiators were maneuvered by Matthias Erzberger and Georg von Hertling, then Minister-President of the Kingdom of Bavaria, both of whom supported the continuation of the war until the Reich had won."
],
[
"Negotiators",
"Ottokar Czernin represents the Dual Monarchy.Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, shown here in 1917, imposes his conception of war aims on his Austro-Hungarian interlocutor.The conference met at the Reich Foreign Ministry headquarters in Berlin.The meeting was chaired by Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, assisted by State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Arthur Zimmermann; the Chancellor and his State Secretary were advised by their principal collaborators.Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Ottokar Czernin represented the Dual Monarchy.",
"The Austro-Hungarian delegation includes the Minister's new Chief of Cabinet, Alexander Hoyos, as well as Ladislas Müller von Szentgyörgyi, Head of Section in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
],
[
"Discussions",
"Faced with a representative of an ally increasingly exhausted by the protracted conflict, the Imperial Chancellor imposed the political objectives pursued by the Reich on his Austro-Hungarian interlocutor.=== The Reich, key player in the quadruple alliance ===In the exchanges between the Reich Chancellor and the Austro-Hungarian Minister, Theobald von Bethamnn Hollweg imposed German objectives on his Austro-Hungarian interlocutor, despite the appearance of an alliance between equal partners.",
"The small number of real concessions obtained by the Austro-Hungarian minister was further proof of the increasingly asymmetrical nature of the alliance between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy, putting the empire of the Hohenzollerns in a position to replace the empire of the Habsburgs, gradually ousting them from its political and economic positions in the Balkans and Eastern Europe.However, at the beginning of 1917, the new Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister tried once again to convince the Reich Chancellor of the need to compromise on the conditions for ending the conflict.",
"Despite the fact that the balance of power with the Dual Monarchy was largely in his favor, the importance of the Reich's positions must be put into perspective.",
"Czernin succeeded in negotiating a minimal framework for defining the war aims pursued by the two allies; this minimal program remained vague, however, allowing for wide-ranging interpretations on both sides.=== Sharing conquests ===Siret, here in the Mircesti region, is set to form the new border between Russia and the Dual Monarchy.Polish royal crown vested in Charles Stephen of Austria, shown here in his uniform as admiral of the Austro-Hungarian war fleet in 1917.The distribution of territories conquered by the Quadruple Alliance since the outbreak of hostilities was also an issue in the relationship between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy at the beginning of 1917.Discussions quickly focused on the need for a balance to be established between the \"respective military results achieved by the two powers\" and the devolution of conquests to one or other of the empires; at the same time, Czernin was in favor of setting up a \"pool\" in order to delay as long as possible the question of the final devolution of conquests from the Reich and its allies.However, in the course of exchanges between the two parties, Czernin succeeded in convincing the Chancellor of the necessity of Romania's return to the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence, in exchange for the cession of the Kingdom of Poland to the Reich: the kingdom's territory was thus promised to be shared between Russia and the Dual Monarchy, with the Siret marking the border between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian zones of influence.",
"The status of the regions promised to Austria-Hungary had not yet been definitively determined, as the Austro-Hungarians vacillated between outright annexation or the establishment of a puppet monarchy, with the crown vested in an archduke of the Habsburg family.=== Maintaining the Reich's war aims ===In a global context marked by the cessation of operations on the Eastern Front and the importance of German armies in the Austro-German alliance, the Reich Chancellor claimed victory for Germany in this theater of operations.",
"However, there was less and less certainty that the Reich and its allies would be victorious in the prolonged conflict.For this reason, the German representative opposed any \"white peace\" (i.e.",
"without winners or losers) or any form of compromise with the Allies.",
"On March 11, fifteen days before the conference with Czernin, Bethmann Hollweg defined the Reich's main war aims in front of his close advisors, with the aim of giving the Reich the means to become a true world power: the Chancellor proposed to bring the Reich closer to its immediate neighbors, Belgium, Poland and the Habsburg monarchy.=== Conflict exit conditions ===Arthur Zimmermann is in favor of opening peace negotiations with the Allies.In a context marked by the weakening of military pressure on the Eastern Front, the Germans Bethmann-Hollweg, Zimmermann and the Austro-Hungarian Czernin defined the minimum conditions under which the German Empire and the Dual Monarchy declared their readiness to leave the conflict.In the eyes of the German ministers, the end of the conflict should, in the worst-case scenario, allow a return to the ''status quo ante bellum'', including the restitution of the German colonial empire.",
"However, aware that the balance of power was increasingly in the Allies' favor, Bethmann-Hollweg tried to convince the Dioscuri, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, who had asserted themselves in the spring and summer of 1917 as the true holders of political power in the Reich, of the need to open compromise peace talks with the Allies.",
"Disappointed, the latter considered forcing Wilhelm II, increasingly confined to a decorative role, to resign as Chancellor.For Austro-Hungary, the territorial integrity of the Dual Monarchy was, at the end of the winter of 1916-1917, the main goal of the war.",
"For Czernin, the return of the occupied Austrian provinces was a non-negotiable objective, even if it had to be paid for by abandoning Austro-Hungarian ambitions in Poland."
],
[
"Outcome",
"=== The March 27 protocol ===Dioscuri Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff were not informed of the existence of the protocol of the March 1917 meetings.The Berlin Conference of March 26–27, 1917 provided the opportunity to draw up a single set of minutes covering the partial advances negotiated on the as no minutes had been drawn up on March 16.The Reich Chancellor took part in the drafting of this protocol, but seems not to have informed either the Dioscuri, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, nor the Reich Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Arthur Zimmermann; similarly, Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg did not inform Georg Michaelis, his successor at the Chancellery, of the existence of this document.This document defines the conditions for ending the conflict in a flexible way, and divides the European conquests of the Quadruple Alliance between the Reich, the Dual Monarchy and Bulgaria; the means deployed by each of the three states in the quest for victory should constitute the key to dividing the conquests between the three allies, thus favoring the Reich and the Dual Monarchy over Bulgaria.=== German divergence ===The results of the preparatory talks between the Germans and Austro-Hungarians gave rise to intense debate among German civil and military leaders; indeed, the extent of the concessions granted to the Dual Monarchy by the Reich Chancellor and his key collaborators prompted the Dioscuri to regard the German-Austro-Hungarian agreements of March as a \"capitulation\" by the Reich to the Dual Monarchy.",
"In their view, the agreement did not reflect the reality of the German war effort, and resulted in a shift in the balance of power in favor of Austria-Hungary, exhausted by shortages and human and material losses, while the greater part of the Quadruple Alliance's war effort fell on the Reich and its economy, as the military were quick to point out.This approach to the conflict and the redefinition of the Reich's role prompted the Dioscuri and imperialist circles to demand that the Chancellor define a new program of war aims for the Reich and its allies."

"After the previous government failed due to the Prussian constitutional conflict with the liberal majority in the chamber over the state parliament's participation in military affairs and fundamentally over the parliamentarization of Prussia, William I appointed a conflict minister, Otto von Bismarck.",
"Bismarck successfully ended the constitutional conflict for the crown through the successes of his policies in the wars against Denmark in 1864 and Austria and its German allies in 1866, which enabled him to have the subsequent tax approval in the Indemnity Act (''Indemnitätsgesetz'') approved by the House of Representatives as a reconciliation offer to the Liberals.",
"The right-wing part of the Liberals now split off from the Progress Party as the National Liberal Party and supported it from then on.",

"from Decider among others.",
"The American version, made by the same team as the Australian version, was highlighted as having positive improvements from the Australian version.",
"The American version expanded the age range of the cast featuring 63 year old Steve, diversified the previous dating experiences of the cast whether through online dating, highschool relationships, or relationships with people not on the spectrum, featured a dating coach and expert who herself is on the spectrum, and cast participants with disabilities in addition to autism (ADHD, dyslexia, etc.).",

"In season two, Journey, a lesbian, joined the cast.",
"It was also later revealed that Dani, who is shown only going on dates with men in the show, is pansexual.",

"Many dates happened in restaurants or 'typical' date settings that Wall notes \"An environment like that, for me, is not conducive for getting to know a stranger... Would it have been difficult to tailor the dating environments more to what the participants were comfortable with?\"",

"Some go to a restaurant if they want to go to a restaurant.\"",
"Jill Escher of the National Council on Severe Autism notes that members of the autism community may feel as if Love on the Spectrum is a \"goofball charade that too conveniently sidesteps the trauma and poverty pervasive among autism families\" but also points out that \"...for the majority of viewers I do think they will walk away more curious, patient, and caring about autism — which is definitely a gift from Netflix to the autism community.\""

[
"Prelude",
"Prior to the Anefis dispute, pro-government Platform and rebel Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA) groups entered the Algiers Accords with the Malian government as a means of ending the Mali War.",

],
[

"Arthur Ellen"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Arthur Ellen''' was an American hypnotist and author who lived in Northridge."
],
[
"Career",
"During his career, which lasted 46 years, The Los Angeles Times reported that Ellen “freed noted ballplayers including Nolan Ryan, Orlando Cepeda, Roberto Clemente and Maury Wills of their pre-game jitters.” Ellen was unsuccessful in his attempt to become the “official hypnotist to the Los Angeles Dodgers.”Jackie Jensen and Bob Oldis were other baseball players who were hypnotized by Ellen.",
"Jensen sought Ellen’s help to overcome his fear of flying.",
"Ellen, however, couldn't help him .",
"“He surmised that Jensen’s fear of flying was a mask for his desire to stay home and mend his failing marriage.”Hollywood actors, including Eddie Albert and Tony Curtis, also sought and received help from Ellen.",
"His hypnotic sessions with them enhanced their ability to memorize scripts more effectively.Ellen also used hypnosis to help patients overcome fear of dentist drills, shots, agoraphobia and claustrophobia.Ellen had a popular nightclub show, performing it at several national and international venues, including Sahara Hotel, Harrah’s, Fairmont Hotel, Town & Country Club, Grossinger's Catskill Resort Hotel, Elmwood Casino, Bimbo's 365 Club and more.Ellen appeared on The Mike Douglas Show, on December 9, 1964.During his shows, Ellen reportedly had the ability to cause people in the audience to sing, dance and perform “feats of strength while under his trance.” Alan Haft, son of Harry Haft the boxer, stated in his book that Ellen “made them laugh or cry at will, eat imaginary ice cream, assume new identities...” Alan’s father, Harry Haft, was hypnotized by Ellen before his bout with Rocky Marciano, which helped Haft overcome the fear plaguing him minutes before the fight began.",
"Haft’s fear, however, wasn't related to fighting Marciano.",
"It was the result of an unscheduled meeting that he had with three Mafia thugs shortly before the bout began.",
"They uninvitedly entered his dressing room and threatened him, purposely persuading him to throw the fight.",
"Haft lost the fight to Marciano that night.",
"He later claimed that he didn't lose on purpose.On October 7, 1955, 19-year-old college student, Pat Morris, was hypnotized by Ellen during an episode of Truth or Consequences.",
"On a table in front of her was $100,000.If she was able to get up and pick up the money, it would’ve been hers.",
"However, she was unable to do so while in Ellen’s hypnotic trance.On November 19, 1956, the Port Angeles Evening News reported that Ellen sent a telegram to President Eisenhower, urging him to hypnotize his Thanksgiving turkey before killing it.",
"Ellen promised him that it \"’tastes better due to the absence of adrenalin in the bloodstream and plucks easier because the muscles holding the feathers are relaxed.’\"In the July 24, 1958 issue of Jet magazine, Ellen and singer Abbey Lincoln are pictured backstage, hamming it up during a Washington, D.C. appearance at an unnamed venue.Around 1960, Ellen began working out of his own (medical building) office that was located on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles."

"Azerbaijan–Chechnya relations"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The relations between Azerbaijan and Chechen republic of Ichkeria have their roots in the dissolution of the Soviet Union.",
"During this time, Azerbaijan withdrew from the Soviet Union, while Chechen republic of Ichkeria declared independence from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, although it was internationally unrecognized."
],
[
"History",
"The relations between the Chechen republic of Ichkeria and Azerbaijan largely began in 1992.In early 1992, Abulfaz Elchibey, a leader of the Azerbaijani Popular Front Party, visited Grozny and established ties with the Chechen president Dzokhar Dudayev.",
"In June 1992, Abulfaz Elchibey was elected as the president of Azerbaijan.",
"300 Chechen volunteers recruited in Grozny arrived to Azerbaijan in early 1992 to participate in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War against Armenia.",
"According to Azerbaijani Colonel Azer Rustamov, in 1992, ''\"hundreds of Chechen volunteers rendered us invaluable help in these battles led by Shamil Basayev and Salman Raduyev\"''.",
"Basayev was said to be one of the last fighters to leave Shusha (see Capture of Shusha).",
"Chechen volunteers largely withdrew in 1993.Despite this cooperation, in an interview to Azerbaijani channel ANS in 2000, Basayev recalled the Azerbaijani army as disorganized and irresponsible during the battle of Shusha, and stated that he was disappointed with the Nagorno-Karabakh War because he \"arrived to participate in Jihad\" but did not find support for this idea among Azerbaijanis.In February 1993, an aide of President of Chechen republic of Ichkeria on external economic issues Ruslan Outsiev and his brother Nazarbek were murdered in London.",
"According to British investigation, the killers were acting on the orders of Armenian security services.",
"The stated objective of brothers in the Great Britain was to commission a UK firm to print banknotes, stamps, passports and other documentation for Chechen republic of Ichkeria.",
"However, their activities also involved opening several accounts, setting up overseas accounts, forming companies and negotiating various deals in oil and oil franchises.",
"Among their objectives was also to acquire 2,000 ground-to-air Stinger missiles for Azerbaijan.",
"In May 1994, a sister-in-law of Armenian assassin was shot in an apparent revenge attack.Despite these ties, the idea of North Caucasian unity often found Chechens and Azerbaijanis in disagreement on the issue of Lezgins in Azerbaijan.",
"As such, the Confederation of Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus, which mainly consisted of Chechens and propagated the idea of North Caucasian confederation, was frequently used against Azerbaijan due to its focus on North Caucasians.",
"Jokhar Dudayev too openly used \"Lezgin card\" when he stated in an interview that if Azerbaijan agreed on a treaty on military cooperation with Chechnya, \"the Lezgin issue would not be included on the agenda\", as in that case he would pursue the Lezgins to cooperate with both Azerbaijan and Chechnya.",
"Thus, it made conditional for Azerbaijan to have a good relation with Chechnya, or otherwise it would face the Lezgin problem.As for Azerbaijan's role in the Chechen conflict during Elchibey, in 1993, Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia proposed a resolution to support Chechnya in Organisation of the Islamic Conference, although it was rejected by heads of other member states.During First Chechen War, new Azerbaijani president Heydar Aliyev stated that \"Chechnya is an internal issue of Russia\" and did not support Chechens in order to avoid worsening relations with Russia.",
"However, Azerbaijan often served as a safe haven for Chechen secessionists, which led to Russian government passing a resolution \"On measures for a temporary prevention of border crossings with Azerbaijan and Georgia\" seven days after the outbreak of the First Chechen War, on 19 December 1994.This decision was also implemented to prevent Azerbaijani and Turkish volunteers from arriving to Chechnya, as some reports indicated that this was taking place.",
"Russia-Azerbaijan border was closed unilaterally, and the railway, sea and auto communications were shut down.",
"Azerbaijani ships were banned from using the Volga–Don Canal.According to a head of Chechen foreign intelligence Ahmed Noukhayev, Azerbaijan greatly helped Chechnya to accommodate refugees, and their number in Azerbaijan reached 10,000 by 2000.Chechens also had extensive business connections in Baku.",
"In January 1995, a cultural center of Chechen republic of Ichkeria was opened in Azerbaijan, while in 1999 — the office of the representative of Chechen republic began functioning.",
"It was tolerated until the Second Chechen War broke out with the Russian government forces.",
"This turn was linked to the positive changes in the Russia-Azerbaijan relations with the ascent of Vladimir Putin to the Russian presidency.",
"The inter-ethnic clashes between Chechens and Azerbaijanis also played their part, as well as Moscow apartments bombings and September 11 attacks, which discredited the Chechen resistance movement in the eyes of Azerbaijani public.",
"Azerbaijani government tightened its border control and Azerbaijani-Russian security forces conducted joint operations to arrest Chechen military commanders on Azerbaijani territory.",
"This caused discontent among Chechen officials.",
"Chechen refugees wrote to Azerbaijani president Heydar Aliyev an open letter saying that they were ready to leave Azerbaijan, \"even if this means torture and death on Russian territory, to avoid experiencing abuse from brotherly independent Azerbaijan\".",
"As such, in May 2001, President of Chechen republic of Ichkeria Aslan Maskhadov said that \"Azerbaijan ceased being a friendly country for Ichkeria\"."

"Sisyrinchium albilapidense"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Sisyrinchium albilapidense''''' is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae.",
"It is recorded only from a single location in the state of Santa Caterina, Brazil, where it grows in subtropical mixed forest."
],
[
"Description",
"''Sisyrinchium albilapidense'' is a erect, perennial herbaceous plant that grows 9–24 cm tall.",
"The plant has thin, fibrous roots, above which grows a tuft of linear, upright basal leaves, 4.5–15 cm long by 1–1.5 mm wide.",
"The leaves are smooth (glabrous) and stiff with pointed (acute) tips.",
"The flowers are borne on an unbranched, upright stem 1.1–1.4 mm wide that rises 6–20 cm from the base.",
"The stem is rigid, with narrow, straight-edged wings.",
"It terminates in a narrow bract, 1.5–8 cm long that has papery edges at the base.",
"Arising from the stem at the point where the terminal bract connects is a small group of flower clusters, called a fasciculiform synflorescence.",
"This synflorescence consists of 1–3 closely clustered rhipidia—a rhipidium is an alternately branched group of flowers contained between a pair of spathes (small bracts) that is characteristic of the Iridaceae family.",
"In the case of ''Sisyrinchium albilapidense'', each rhipidium begins with a pedicel 1–18 mm long (sometimes almost absent or subsessile) and bears 3–5 flowers.",
"The lower valve of each spathe is 11–14 mm long by 1.6 mm wide and the upper valve is 12–14 mm long by 1.6 mm wide.",
"The shape of the spathe valves is acute to long apiculate and they are glabrous, with a membranaceous (papery) margin for the first 1–1.2 mm.",
"Each flower is borne on a glabrous pedicel 14–18 mm long, which is longer than spathes.",
"The perigon (the structure formed by the flower's tepals) is disk shaped, and mostly yellow or whitish.",
"The tepals are yellow at the base, followed by a brown or burgundy (vinaceous) ring.",
"Five burgundy-colored veins (three large, two small) extend out from the ring along the yellowish tepals; these are visible from above and below.",
"Fresh flowers are 11–12 mm in diameter.",
"The six tepals are roughly equal in size, 4.5–6 mm long by 2–2.5 mm wide, oblanceolate in shape and apiculate.",
"The lower (abaxial) surface of each tepal bears sparse trichomes (hair-like structures).",
"The stamen filaments are fused into a cylindrical staminal column 2–2.4 mm long.",
"The lowest 0.5–0.7 mm is covered with oil-producing trichomes (elaiophores); above that the trichomes are more sparsely distributed.",
"The staminal column is mostly light yellow but may be burgundy-colored toward the tip.",
"The stamens bear 2–3 mm long yellow anthers that are connected to the filaments at their bases (basifixed).",
"The flower's ovary is glabrous and generally spherical globose, measuring about 1 mm long and wide.",
"Rising above the ovary, the style is 2.5–3 mm long, yellow and unbranched.",
"At the top of the style, projecting above the anthers is the stigmatic region, which receives pollen.",
"Each flower matures to form a smooth, brown fruiting capsule that is globose to subglobose, 1.9–6 mm long by 2.5–6 mm diameter.",
"Flowers and fruits are reported from October to January."
],
[
"Taxonomy",
"''Sisyrinchium albilapidense'' was described by the Chilean botanist Pierfelice Ravenna in 2001.Ravenna's description appeared in issue 12, volume 5 of his self-published journal ''Onira'', which had very limited distribution.",
"The species is accepted as a correct name by the global taxonomy resource Plants of the World Online.Ravenna's description of the species was based on a holotype collected by Carmen Lelia Cristóbal and Antonio Krapovickas on January 17, 1988, at Parque das Pedras Brancas, 10 km southeast of Lages in Santa Caterina state and deposited at the herbarium of the Instituto de Botanica del Nordeste with collector number 42042.The specific epithet \"albilapidense\" refers to the pale rock outcrop that also is the source for the name Pedras Brancas.Brazilian botanist Camila Dellanhese Inácio reviewed the species as part of her treatment of ''Sisyrinchium'' section Cephalanthum in her 2017 thesis.",
"According to Inácio ''S.",
"albilapidense'' differs from other species in section ''Cephalanthum'' by its narrow synflorescence with few rhipidia, the linear bract at top of each stem, and the rigid leaves and stem.''S.",
"albilapidense'' is similar to several other species in ''Sisyrinchium'' section ''Cephalanthum''.",
"Most similar is ''Sisyrinchium ostenianum'', from which it can be distinguished by its narrow and straight terminal bract (vs. a stiff and incurved bract in ''S.",
"ostenianum'') and the sparse trichomes on the upper portion of the staminal column (whereas ''S.",
"ostenianum'' has a dense crown of reflexed trichomes just below the anthers).",
"While ''S.",
"ostenianum'' has a broad distribution in northern Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil, its northern limit is around the Jacuí River in Rio Grande do Sul state, south of ''S.",
"albilapidense''.",
"''Sisyrinchium platycaule'' and ''Sisyrinchium sellowianum'' are similar species recorded from Santa Catarina state including some sites near Lages, but these can be distinguished by their cream or white flowers, whereas the flowers of from ''S.",
"albilapidense'' are yellow.One sample from ''S.",
"albilapidense'' was included in the 2017 study of phylogenetic relationships within the genus ''Sisyrinchium''.",
"171 samples representing 110 taxa were analyzed for a combination of nine coding and non-coding DNA regions.",
"The resulting maximum likelihood phylogram confirmed that ''S.",
"albilapidense'' is well supported as a member of section ''Cephalanthum'' and appears to be very closely related to ''Sisyrinchium sellowianum'' and ''Sisyrinchium fiebrigii''."
],
[
"Distribution",
"''Sisyrinchium albilapidense'' has been recorded only from its type locality at Pedras Brancas, 10 km southeast of Lages, in Santa Catarina state, Brazil.",
"The surrounding habitat is a mix of grassland, forest and rock outcrops, at an elevation of approximately 900 m. This is a type of vegetation characterized as subtropical mixed forest."

"Socialist Appeal (Britain)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Socialist Appeal and Marxist Student Federation activists at a climate change march in 2021.",
"'''Socialist Appeal''' was the former British section of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT), founded in 1992 alongside the IMT by supporters of Ted Grant and Alan Woods after they were expelled from the Militant tendency of the Labour Party.",
"The organisation relaunched itself in 2024 as the Revolutionary Communist Party.The organisation described itself as a \"Marxist organisation which stands for the socialist transformation of society.\"",
"Its stated aim was to build a revolutionary leadership capable of leading the working class in a struggle against capitalism.",
"It described its politics as descending from Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.Socialist Appeal published a fortnightly newspaper under the same name.",
"On 21 January 2024, the paper was renamed to ''The Communist'' and merged with Socialist Appeal's Scottish newspaper, ''Revolution''.",
"The first edition of ''The Communist'' published on 24 January.",
"The organisation also produced books, pamphlets, magazines and other Marxist educational material, sold through the Wellred Books Britain bookstore, which it operated.In 2013, Socialist Appeal officially launched its youth wing, the Marxist Student Federation (MSF), to provide a \"national platform for Marxist ideas in the student movement.\"",
"As of 2022, the MSF claims a presence at over 50 campuses across Britain, focused on political discussions at university Marxist societies, as well as campaigning within the labour movement."
],
[
"History",
"In the 1970s and 1980s, Socialist Appeal's predecessor, the Militant tendency, had been a significant force within the British Labour Party.",
"At the height of its influence in the mid-to-late 1980s, Militant had three Labour MPs, control of Liverpool City Council and later initiated the campaign that they claim forced the abandonment of the Poll tax.",
"Grant had been one of the founders and the theoretical leader of the Militant group, but he was expelled with other supporters after the 1991 debate on the Open Turn.A special conference decision to endorse the Open Turn by 93% to 7% entailed Militant supporters abandoning the entryist strategy of working within the Labour Party and leaving to form an independent organisation.",
"The new party was initially known as Militant Labour, changing its name in 1997 to the Socialist Party in England and Wales while in Scotland Scottish Militant Labour instigated the formation of the Scottish Socialist Party.The split was caused by the Militant tendency's majority adoption of the Open Turn, Grant's continued support for the tactic of entryism within the Labour Party and what Grant and Woods claimed was the bureaucratic centralist degeneration of Militant's internal regime.",
"''Socialist Appeal'' began publishing their own journal in 1992.In 2000, the group was estimated to have around 250 supporters.In 2013, the tendency in Britain made a turn towards the student movement by launching the Marxist Student Federation.Following the Scottish independence referendum in which Scots voted to retain the union with the rest of the United Kingdom, the International Marxist Tendency launched a separate Scottish periodical called ''Revolution'', which analyses events in Scotland, and puts forward a Marxist position in relation to the Scottish independence movement.",
"''Revolution'''s masthead carries the slogan \"For a Scottish workers' republic and world socialist revolution!",
"\".In July 2021, the Labour Party's National Executive Committee banned ''Socialist Appeal'' and ruled that its members could be automatically expelled from the Labour Party.On 14 November 2023, Socialist Appeal announced that they were to be refounded as the Revolutionary Communist Party, and that the newspaper would be renamed ''The Communist'', beginning on 21 January 2024, the 100th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Lenin.",
"The founding congress of the party is scheduled to take place in May 2024."
],
[
"Political positions",
"Alan Woods in a meeting with Venezuelan president Hugo ChávezSocialist Appeal leaned to the far-left of the political spectrum, subscribing to Marxism, Leninism and Trotskyism.=== Economic policy ===''Socialist Appeal'' was in broad agreement with the classical Marxist view that capitalism inherently results in \"boom and bust\" cycles as a result of overproduction and thus attempts to prevent this through monetarism or Keynesianism are not possible.",
"The organisation supported economic planning, the scrapping of tuition fees, the drastic reduction to rents and mortgages, and the abolition of the national debt.",
"They also stated that \"all public utilities must be re-nationalised, ending profiteering in our essential services.",
"This would include \"banks, finance houses and insurance companies ... without compensation\", as well as the socialisation of its \"commanding heights\" (i.e.",
"the top 150–200 financial institutions and companies), in order to replace production on the basis of profit with production on the basis of need.=== Foreign policy ======= Brexit ====The organisation abstained from the referendum on whether to leave the European Union.",
"In August 2016, the IMT released a statement defending this position, stating that \"the campaign of the Leave camp was 100 percent reactionary, appealing to the basest prejudices of the most backward layers of society and manipulating proletarian feeling against the establishment and austerity.\"",
"and \"given circumstances\", the Socialist Appeal, \"having carefully weighed up all these factors\", decided that \"it was not possible to support either side in the referendum\".==== Israel ====Socialist Appeal criticised the BDS movement, opposing a blanket boycott of Israel as \"the idea that treating the whole of the Israeli Jewish population as one reactionary bloc is counter-productive.",
"Much better a trade union based selective boycott that distinguishes the ruling Zionist elite from ordinary working people in Israel.\""

[
"Publications",
"The front cover of issue 381 of Socialist Appeal, released in January 2023.",
"''Socialist Appeal'' refers to the fortnightly newspaper of the same name.",
"In September 2009, the publication ''Socialist Appeal'' changed from a magazine journal format to a full colour tabloid.The group also produced and published a number of pamphlets and books through their Wellred Books publishing arm.",
"''Socialist Appeal'' was also the name of two British Trotskyist newspapers associated with Ted Grant in the 1940s: one was the newspaper of the Workers International League and immediately following that of the Revolutionary Communist Party."
],
[
"International Marxist Tendency",
"''Socialist Appeal'' was the British section of the International Marxist TendencyThe international group to which Socialist Appeal is affiliated is known as the International Marxist Tendency.",
"In Latin America, it supported President of Venezuela's Hugo Chávez’s Bolivarian Revolution and the IMT instigated the formation of the Hands Off Venezuela campaign group to support Chávez.",
"The IMT published a number of books by Trotsky, Grant and Woods and runs the multilingual website ''In Defence of Marxism''.Supporters of ''Socialist Appeal'' valued the importance of theory highly and dedicate a large amount of space in their paper and website to theoretical articles.",
"''Socialist Appeal's'' editors argued that a thorough understanding of Marxism, history, economics and politics is necessary to understand the world today.",
"They also argued that the neglect of theory in the late 1980s led to the Militant tendency turning in an ultraleft direction."

[
"Introduction",
"'''Brian Kennedy Seals''' is an American songwriter, producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, best known for co-writing and producing pop hit singles \"Disturbia\", \"Forever\", \"Don't Wake Me Up\", and \"Mr. Know It All\", as well as hit R&B singles \"If This Isn't Love\", \"What It Is (Block Boy)\", and \"No Time for It\"."
],
[
"Career",
"===Music industry beginnings===Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Seals was a classically trained piano prodigy, and became an accomplished pianist by the age of 8, writing his own songs and performing in the Kansas City Boys' Choir.",
"He would create jazz, contemporary, and Christmas albums from his compositions.",
"Seals relocated to Los Angeles in 2004 at the age of 20, beginning as a session player for Diane Warren, the Underdogs, and Babyface.",
"He would eventually catch his big break in 2006, when he produced and co-wrote “My Love” on Ciara’s sophomore album, ''Ciara: The Evolution'', securing a publishing deal.===Further songwriting success===His placement on Ciara's album was soon followed by chart-topping single \"Disturbia\" for the repackage of Rihanna's 2007 album ''Good Girl Gone Bad'', and chart-topper \"Forever\" for Chris Brown's repackage of 2007 album ''Exclusive''.",
"Seals would continue to work with both Brown and Fenty, resulting in numerous future album placements on their projects, co-written demos for inclusion on the projects of other artists, as well as co-written songs worked on in collaboration with other artists (such as Joe Jonas' \"See No More\" ).",
"Seals participated in initial sessions for Usher's 2008 album ''Here I Stand'', and a contribution of his (\"Angel\") was even tipped in various publications to be the emotional centerpiece of the project by participating writers, but the album changed direction and his contributions did not make the final cut.",
"Seals would then begin work on R&B singer Brandy Norwood's comeback album ''Human'' as executive producer, but would be later replaced by notable Norwood collaborator Rodney Jerkins after their long-awaited creative reunion.",
"Seals would still contribute two songs to the album, and built a lasting writing relationship with then-unknown New Orleans songwriter Christopher \"Frank Ocean\" Breaux, who together co-wrote bonus track \"Locket (Lost In Love)\".",
"Breaux and Seals would collaborate frequently for the next several years alongside several other producers, creating a pre-debut album, unofficial compilation/mixtape for Breaux titled ''The Lonny Breaux Collection'', composed of completed songs, rough demos, and songs written for other artists.",
"In 2009, Seals contributed five songs to Disney star Corbin Bleu's second album ''Speed of Light''.",
"Seals would further solidify his place in the music industry with \"If This Isn't Love\" for Jennifer Hudson's eponymous debut album, \"It's Over\" and additional album tracks for Jesse McCartney album ''Departure'', \"This Time\" for ''American Idol'' contestant Pia Toscano, as well as top-ten lead single \"Mr. Know It All\" for Kelly Clarkson's 2011 album ''Stronger''.",
"These initial contributions would earn Seals his first three Grammy awards (Winner's certificates for production participation on Grammy-winning albums) and first three ASCAP Awards.===2012-2020: Additional Grammy success, \"Don't Wake Me Up\", and \"No Time for It\"===In 2012, Seals would reunite with Brown and contribute \"Don't Wake Me Up\" to his fifth album ''Fortune''.",
"Co-produced by William Orbit and originally pitched to pop artist Madonna (who was unable to record the song in time), the song would reach the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and chart internationally.",
"A copyright infringement suit for the song against Brown, Orbit, Kennedy, and Sony Music Entertainment by UK songwriter Nayeri Gregor aka Nayri (who created a song of the same name in 2009 and pitched it to several parties involved) was settled in 2016.Seals' contribution to Fenty album ''Unapologetic'' earned him further Grammy recognition during the 2014 awards season from the R&B wing of the Recording Academy.",
"In 2016, Seals would co-write and produce lead single \"No Time for It\" to Fantasia's fifth album ''The Definition Of...'', with her declaring in a ''Vogue'' interview that the song \"set the atmosphere\" amidst a period of upheaval in which she had recently scrapped a more jazz-flavored album concept for something that better mixed \"contemporary\" and \"soul\".",
"Described as a label-chosen song in which \"the wormy synth melody and bass line might appear on a crossover rap hit made by a popular and radio-friendly producer like DJ Mustard\", the song would later reach the top 10 of the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart.",
"In 2017, Seals was spotted in a recording studio with Lady Gaga alongside fellow songwriter Dallas Davidson to work on songs for potential inclusion on a follow-up project to 2016 album ''Joanne'', but the songs never came to fruition.===2021-Present===Seals recently sold a portion of his catalog to music management and IP firm Hipgnosis Songs Fund for an undisclosed sum, with subsidiary Hipgnosis Songs Capital assuming ownership of the catalog in a 2023 purchase deal."

[
"Personal life",
"In 2017, at the age of 33 following a urinalysis test to determine the origin of high blood pressure, doctors discovered that Seals was experiencing kidney problems.",
"A biopsy showed he had FSGS, or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a relatively common form of kidney disease which decreases the kidney's ability to properly filter blood as the filters are damaged/scarred.",
"Coupled with an improved diet and blood pressure-lowering medications, Seals subsequently received a kidney transplant from his brother Kevin, who had moved to Los Angeles to be his manager.",
"Seals continues to be an advocate for frequent blood-pressure check-ups and early avoidance of hypertension in the African-American community."

"Chinese Capitalists in Japan's New Order"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Chinese Capitalists in Japan's New Order : The Occupied Lower Yangzi, 1937-1945''''' is a 2003 non-fiction book by Parks Coble, published by University of California Press.It discusses the activities of businesspeople in Shanghai during the Second Sino-Japanese War, when the Empire of Japan controlled the city.",
"These businesspeople made their companies registered to other countries in an effort to protect themselves from the Japanese government.",
"The book describes how the Japanese government's policies altered over time and how the businesspeople acclimated.",
"The work's focus is on particular businesspeople across several prominent families.This is Coble's third book about businesspeople in China in the Republic of China (1912-1949)."
],
[
"Background",
"Coble used sourcing written in Chinese, English, and Japanese.",
"Some sourcing came from the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.Eric Jones, of Melbourne Business School and the University of Reading, stated that Shanghainese businesspersons were loath to leave explicit written records that could have them targeted by the Japanese and/or by the Kuomintang, which would suspect them of allying with the other side.",
"Therefore, there is a relative paucity of surviving records about this period.",
"According to Rana Mitter of the University of Oxford, scholars in the West were, in prior eras, unable to obtain several of the sourcing documents."
],
[
"Contents",
"According to Coble, as the individuals were trying to be unscathed, one could not easily categorize them as either being pro-China or whether they were pro-Japanese Empire; Coble disagrees with the idea of saying they were entirely in one or another category.",
"According to Coble, his coverage did not agree with a narrative in China about businesspeople moving factories into Chiang-held areas in anti-Japanese operations, because only a small number of businesspeople did so.",
"The businesspeople who had chemical-related businesses were, due to fears that pro-Japan groups could seize their businesses, were more likely to side with Chiang.Many of the businesspersons did not relocate with the Chiang Kai-shek government to Chongqing due to mutual mistrust between the businesspersons and Chiang, and businesspersons were often unable to relocate their businesses.",
"The Japanese authorities eventually had to cooperate with Chinese people on the ground by 1943 as the Japanese faced increasing weaknesses.",
"Many of the businesspeople then left China in 1949 as it became Communist.One chapter discusses the Rong family."
],
[
"Reception",
"Morris L. Bian of Auburn University praised the \"meticulous research\" and described the book as \"definitive\".Samuel C. Chu of Ohio State University praised how the book's author used \"painstaking care\" to gather the data for analysis.",
"According to Chu, there is some repetition in the writing due to the amount of detail covered.Karl Gerth of the University of South Carolina described the book as \"an important contribution\" to its field, which had hitherto little coverage in scholarship; according to Gerth, his own criticisms of the work were \"minor quibbles\".Jones stated that the author did a good job at doing research considering the lack of documentation.Hanchao Lu of Georgia Tech wrote that the work is \"original and pioneering\".Mitter described the work as \"impressive\".E.",
"Bruce Reynolds of San Jose State University wrote that the work is \"Meticulously researched\".Brett Sheehan of the University of Wisconsin described it as \"carefully researched and important\".Tim Wright of the University of Sheffield described the book as \"important\"."

"1999 Tempe military base shooting"

"Introduction",
" The '''1999 Tempe military base shooting''' was a mass shooting that occurred 16 September 1999, at the Tempe military base near Bloemfontein, in South Africa.",
"Lt. Sibusiso Madubela shot and killed eight people, seven soldiers and one civilian, before he was shot dead by two soldiers.",
"Four people were injured.",
"During the shooting, Madubela at times pushed black people out of the way to shoot whites, and everyone killed or injured in the shooting was white.",
"Prior to the shooting, his pay had been suspended following a period of absence without leave.",
"The shooting came after years of tensions in the South African National Defence Force over integration following apartheid, and a resulting inquiry revealed widespread racial tension and discrimination in the SANDF.",
"The inquiry into the shooting revealed evidence that the shooting was a result of the suspension of his pay, and that Madubela had deliberately targeted whites."
],
[
"Background",
"The shooting occurred at the Tempe military base near Bloemfontein.",
"It was one of the first military bases to integrate following apartheid, and was one of South Africa's largest military bases.The base had experienced previous incidents: In 1996, a white soldier at the base locked three former liberation fighters in a room and attacked them with tear gas.",
"Two years later, a white soldier robbed and killed two black soldiers while they transported military weapons.",
"This theft was blamed on a right-wing group that had been preparing a coup.Racial tensions were rampant in the SANDF, contributed to by the fact that white officers occupied a disproportionate amount of senior posts.",
"A report to the South African Parliament made by the British Military Advisory and Training Team in the year prior to the shooting found that not enough change was being made to alter racial prejudice in the country, and that there were \"far-reaching\" implications to the hardening of racial attitudes by high-ranking soldiers in the military to the former guerilla fighters in their ranks.",
"One of the injured later complained that it was difficult to get rid of underachievers, and that problematic soldiers were often transferred to other units, before being returned.=== Perpetrator ===Lt.",
"Sibusiso Madubela, aged 28 at the time of the shooting, was a former liberation fighter in the Azanian People's Liberation Army.",
"He joined the South African Army in 1994.He was described as not fit to be an officer, and several complaints had been filed against him.",
"Psychiatrist reports apparently indicted that he should not have been allowed to carry firearms.",
"He was later described as \"easily provoked, aggressive, undisciplined and arrogant\", and as a loner who refused to socialize with colleagues regardless of race, though he had a clean record.",
"Madubela was unmarried and lived at the base.",
"Madubela was described as being disliked by and disrespectful to both black and white soldiers, and often turned normal arguments into racial issues.",
"According to his mother, he had been subject to racial abuse at the base, and had been stabbed by a white subordinate, though there was no record of the stabbing in his files.",
"Madubela refused to salute or greet his military superiors.From 30 August to 9 September, Madubela was AWOL, after he had taken leave from 23 August to 27 August, to attend his father's funeral.",
"As a result of this absence, his salary was withheld due to an absence longer than three days, which meant he would not receive his pay for a month.",
"His family later stated this infuriated Madubela, who claimed he had received verbal permission to extend his leave.",
"The day before the shooting, which was a payday, Madubela went to the office and asked to speak to the Unit commander about his pay being suspended."
],
[
"Shooting",
"At 8 a.m., Lt. Sibusiso Madubela arrived on base and signed for an R4 rifle, before locating ammunition.",
"Less than an hour later, he opened fire at the 1 SA Infantry Battalion; the first person shot was Captain Hannes de Jager, who was quadriplegic and used a wheelchair.",
"Madubela approached him and aimed his rifle at him.",
"After the door was shut in his face, he fired through the closed door.",
"He seemed to be targeting specific people, and at certain times pushed black people out of the way to shoot whites, sparing more than 20 black soldiers he encountered.Madubela then went on to move down the passage, shooting and killing military course administrator Marita Hamilton, and then Warrant Officer Reg Sieberhagen.",
"He moved towards the office of Lieutenant Colonel Jan Wessels, who was in Pretoria at the time.",
"He pointed his gun at his white secretary, but did not fire.",
"He then proceeded to shoot and kill Major Jacques Coetzer and Sergeant Tertius Lombard.",
"Major Zirk Coetsee attempted to give first aid to an injured victim, before Madubela shot him in the chest.Madubela then ran out into the command offices and into the administration block, where he shot and killed Warrant Officer Johan Lombard.",
"He then proceeded to the duty room, where ammunition is stored, and killed Sergeant Doughie Douglas.",
"Three other men were in the duty room; they saluted Madubela, then fled.",
"It was believed he then reloaded his rifle.",
"He then headed out past the base's bungalows, encountering Sergeant Willie Nell, who he promptly shot dead, and ran toward the transport park, shooting Sergeant Major Aldo Mattheus in the leg.",
"Mattheus, also carrying an R4 rifle, shot back.",
"Two other soldiers, who were on their way to shooting practice, backed him up and shot at Madubela, who was killed.",
"Madubela still had 16 rounds in his rifle.The shooting lasted 15 minutes.",
"Seven were dead in the immediate aftermath and five were injured, all of whom were white.",
"One of the wounded, Major Zirk Coetsee, died a little over a week later."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"In the aftermath of the shooting, the public was urged not to assume the shooting was racially motivated, though investigators said it \"could be\" racially motivated.",
"The day after the shooting, Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota stated he saw no evidence racism had been involved, and denied statements Madubela had been absent without leave.",
"Lekota visited the battalion and encouraged the soldiers, and explained to them what had occurred.",
"The surviving members of the unit were debriefed by psychologists.",
"Police declined to rule out race as a motive.",
"The commander of Tempe, Brigadier-General Hans Heinze, called for calm in the aftermath of the shooting, and asked for the case to be thoroughly investigated before any conclusions were drawn.After the shooting, the minister of defence reported that crime was a rampant issue in the Bloemfontein command, which included Tempe.",
"Soldiers were ordered not to speak on the record about the racial issues in the military.",
"Siphiwe Nyanda, the chief of the Defence Force, commented that integration had generally progressed successfully, but that the shooting was \"one incident which indicates that there are difficulties and problems which we have not quite surmounted\".The New National Party demanded an investigation, while the Democratic Party requested a parliamentary debate; the United Democratic Movement argued that the slow transformation of the military would lead to these kinds on incidents.",
"The Boere Weerstandsbeweging, a Boer nationalist party, decried the shooting as racist, and said South Africa had become a \"survival struggle for the white man\".",
"Politicians complimented Madubela as a \"good soldier\" and a \"martyr\".",
"Motsoko Pheko, deputy president of the Pan Africanist Congress, stated that Madubela's death revealed that \"this nation is living a lie\" and that South Africa was \"fed with propaganda that all is well\".",
"A retired colonel in the South African Defence Force, Jan Pretorious, said the shooting and incidents like it illustrated a clash of military cultures between blacks and whites, while a psychologist argued that both black and white soldiers in the military had been traumatized from the years of apartheid warfare.The families of the victims sued the military for R5 million (then equivalent to 850 thousand US dollars) in damages, primarily for loss of support.",
"Aldo Mattheus and Zirk Coetsee were awarded in 2003 for their actions during the shooting; Coetsee was awarded posthumously, and the award was accepted by his widow.After the shooting, a Ministerial Committee of Inquiry was held to investigate, and whether there was evidence of discrimination or sectarian tension within the SANDF.",
"The inquiry found that it did, manifesting in a variety of ways.",
"The inquiry found that nearly 60 percent of military personnel were black, but 70 percent of officers were white.",
"An advocate to the inquiry recommended that Mattheus and Anton Otto, who had killed Madubela, not face charges, while the three officers who fled should be prosecuted on charges of culpable homicide.",
"Evidence presented to the inquest found Mandubela alone was responsible for the deaths, and that the shooting was deliberately targeted at whites; the shooting resulted from the suspension of his salary.Other shooting incidents later occurred at the Phalaborwa 7 SA Infantry Battalion and Simon’s Town naval base in Cape Town, which involved black soldiers shooting at white soldiers.",
"There was a second shooting at the same base in 2003, and again in 2006, neither of which were racially motivated.=== Funeral ===Black soldiers at the base refused to carry the coffins of the victims, but stated they would attend the burial of Madubela.",
"The funeral of one of the victims had to source soldiers from other bases.",
"The Pan Africanist Congress demanded a full military funeral for Madubela; the pamphlet advertising the funeral featured a photo of him in a military outfit and concluded with the statement \"One Oppressor, One Bullet\".",
"This was rejected by the defence ministry, however, PAC applied for an interdict to force the SANDF to give him a military funeral, stating that as his guilt had not yet been established and he had been a member of SANDF, Madubela deserved a funeral with \"full honour\" as a \"dedicated soldier to his country\" and that their action in denying him a funeral showed \"clear bias\".",
"The funeral was planned to be preceded by a march to the Hadre police station demanding the release of APLA cadres.",
"Achmat Cassim, the founder of radical anti-apartheid organization Qibla, and PAC MP Patricia de Lille were billed as speakers, though de Lille denied involvement and said she had not been consulted.",
"Ngila Muendane, secretary-general of PAC, said Madubela was a victim of racism and a \"clean-living, decent young man\", and that white racists controlled the SANDF.His funeral was expected to take place 2 October, in Umata.",
"PAC supporters chanted \"one settler, one bullet\", and demanded police cease searching attendees for weapons.",
"During funeral speeches prior to the salute, PAC officials vowed to \"slay whites\" and stated that Madubela had sought to \"teach whites a lesson\".",
"During the funeral, Lethlata Mphahleli, former head of PAC's militant wing, encouraged black people to copy Madubela's attack, saying \"go and liberate this country the way Madubela did\" and \"we are going to hit the Boers.\"",
"Swayi Mqojana, a PAC official, said in an interview after the funeral that the government's actions were a declaration of war on PAC.",
"Some 2000 people attended his funeral; the crowds scattered after two shots were fired during a 12-gun salute, which had been forbidden by the police, by mourners seeking to honour Madubela.",
"Police fired ammunition and tear gas; the police superintendent stated the ammunition was fired into the air.",
"Three were wounded.",
"Army helicopters provided police reinforcements."

"Ethiopia was part of the United Nations Command that came to South Korea's aid during the 1950–1953 Korean War.",
"It sent an infantry battalion consisting of 6,037 soldiers.",
"Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie sent his elite Kagnew Battalion to the country.",
"They reportedly took place in 253 battles and were never defeated, with 121 deaths and 500 injuries.",
"None were captured.",
"Ethiopian soldiers remained in South Korea after the 1953 ceasefire to assist in the country's rebuilding.Various monuments in South Korea commemorate Ethiopia's assistance to South Korea during the war, including the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul.",

"Puzzle friendliness"
],
[
"Introduction",
"In cryptography, '''puzzle friendliness''' is a property of cryptographic hash functions.",
"Not all cryptographic hash functions have this property.",
"SHA-256 is a cryptographic hash function that has this property.",
"Informally, a hash function is puzzle friendly if no solution exists, which is better than just making random guesses and the only way to find a solution is the brute force method.",
"Although the property is very general, it is really important only in Bitcoin mining."
],
[
"Definition",
"Here is the formal technical definition of the puzzle frierndliness property.",
"* A hash function ''H'' is said to be ''puzzle friendly'' if for every possible ''n''-bit output value ''y'', if ''k'' is chosen with a distribution with high min-entropy, then it is infeasible to find ''x'' such that ''H''( ''k'' ''x'' ) = ''y'' (where the symbol \"\" denotes concatenation) in time significantly less than 2''n''.In the above definition, the distribution has high min-entropy means that the distribution from which ''k'' is chosen is hugely distributed so that choosing some particular random value from the distribution has only a negligible probability.",
"=== Why this property is called puzzle friendliness?",
"===Let ''H'' be a cryptographic hash function and let an output ''y'' be given.",
"Let it be required to find ''z'' such that ''H''( ''z'' ) = ''y''.",
"Let us also assume that a part of the string ''z'', say ''k'', is known.",
"Then, the problem of determining ''z'' boils down to finding ''x'' that should be concatenated with ''k'' to get ''z''.",
"The problem of determining ''x'' can be thought of a puzzle.",
"It is really a puzzle only if the task of finding ''x'' is nontrivial and is nearly infeasible.",
"Thus the puzzle friendliness property of a cryptographic hash function makes the problem of finding ''x'' closer to being a real puzzle."
],
[
"Application in cryptocurrency",
"The puzzle friendliness property of cryptographic hash functions is used in Bitcoin mining."

"On especially cold days, the trees are placed in holes filled with water, which freezes the tree in.",
"In the spring the trees are used to create a fish spawning habitat."
],
[
"History",
"The forest was initially created in the mid-1990s as a prank by Connie Madden, the editor of ''The Nome Nugget'', and Nancy McGuire, Madden's friend.",
"They wanted to trick visitors who traveled there for the Iditarod, gathering old Christmas trees and putting them on the ice.",
"They continued it for the following years, adding a sign declaring it a national forest the first year after its founding.The forest was not active for three years as both Madden and McGuire had died.",
"Richard Beneville, the mayor of Nome, led the movement to revive the forest, allowing it to prop up again in 2016."

],
[
"History",
"According to frontman Stu Mackenzie, the residency concept was inspired by the tendency of some fans of the band to attend multiple shows.",
"He told ''SPIN'': The concept proved successful, with the band's shows at the Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee selling out so quickly that a fourth night had to be added.",
"The band's shows at the Salt Shed would be made into the live album ''Live in Chicago '23''.The band paying tribute to SmithThe band's show at the Hollywood Bowl, at the time their largest yet, was planned to feature a guest appearance from Broderick Smith, father of keyboardist, harmonicist and vocalist Ambrose Kenny-Smith.",
"They had planned for Smith to narrate tracks from the band's second album, Eyes Like the Sky.",
"Smith would pass before the tour began, however, with the band opting to pay tribute at the beginning of the show.",
"In a concert review for ''PopMatters'', Greg M. Schwartz called it a \"touching tribute\" and a \"poignant moment in King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard history\"."
],
[
"Reception",
"The tour attracted praise for its large and varied sets.",
"In a review for ''Atwood Magazine'', Max Kalnitz said of the tour \"To say these shows were special would be an understatement.",
"In the same way that Deadheads look back on the spring of 1977 and Phish fans do for the fall of 1997, I think Gizz fans will look back on the residencies of 2023 and acknowledge that they were some of the best shows the band ever played.\""
