"Introduction",
"'''Rukn al-Dawla Da'ud''' (ruled 1114–1144 CE) was a Turkoman emir of the Artuqid dynasty in the early 12th century.",
"He was a son of Sökmen and succeeded his brother Ibrahim of Ḥiṣn Kaifā (ruled 1104–1109)."
],
[
"Origin",
"His grandfather was Artuk, a commander in the Seljuk Empire.",
"He was ruler of Hisn Kayfa, a city on the Tigris River in the northern Jazira region (modern Turkey)."
],
[
"Rule",
"After the passing of his brother, Ibrahim, Da'ud ascended as bey of Hisn Kayfa in 1109.Despite his position, he consistently acknowledged the authority of his uncle Ilghazi, even dispatching soldiers to him on multiple occasions.",
"However, in 1122, he refused to yield the same deference to Husam al-Din Timurtash.",
"Seizing the opportunity presented by Belek Ghazi's demise in 1124, Da'ud swiftly captured Harput.",
"Yet, his ambition to control Mayyafariqin was delayed, leading to a rivalry with his cousin Timurtash.",
"Ibn al-Athir noted the loyalty of the Turkmen of Amida to Da'ud over Timurtash, although they recognized Timurtash's tactical prowess.Between 1123 and 1125, Da'ud joined the ruler of Ahlat in a campaign against the Kingdom of Georgia, according to Matthew of Edessa.",
"In 1126, when Imad al-Din Zengi besieged Nusaybin, he sought Da'ud's assistance, eventually promising him the city.",
"Zengi's cunning interception of a messenger pigeon led to the surrender of Nusaybin to his forces, enhancing his power.",
"Subsequent victories, including the conquest of Aleppo in 1128/1129, compelled the Artuqid emirs to unite with other Turkmen leaders.In 1130, Da'ud forged an alliance with Ilaldi, the ruler of Amida, and other Turkmen chiefs against Zengi, but their combined forces suffered defeat against the Atabeg in Saruj, who later managed to extend his influence over the region including Dara.",
"The alliance with Timurtash dissolved, leading to a focus on internal affairs, with Timurtash acknowledging Zengi's dominance.In 1131, Da'ud expanded his control by occupying several fortresses south of Lake Van, including Qatalbas and Batasa, and the city of Siirt.",
"However, in 1134, he faced defeat against Timurtash and Zengi near Amida.",
"Da'ud's subsequent campaign against Timurtash compelled the demolition of Mayyafariqin's suburbs due to the inability to defend them against rival incursions.",
"In 1141/1142, an agreement was brokered between Da'ud, Timurtash, and the County of Edessa, which Zengi opposed.Da'ud passed away in 1144, succeeded by his son Kara Arslan."

"Head Harbour Lighthouse"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Head Harbour Lighthouse''', also known as '''East Quoddy Head Light''' (to differentiate the Canadian beacon from its American counterpart, West Quoddy Head Light,) is a lighthouse and station on Campobello Island, New Brunswick.",
"Erected in 1829 by the provincial government, its purpose was to aid navigation for ships in the Bay of Fundy.",
"While West Quoddy Light stands at the mouth of the narrows around Lubec, Maine, East Quoddy was built on the north side of Campobello, on a small tidal islet connected to the primary landmass, guiding entry into Passamaquoddy Bay.",
"Today, the light and its accessory structures are a historically designated heritage site, supported by an independent preservation group."
],
[
"Description",
"The lighthouse itself is a 51 foot octagonal tower of heavy timber; the structure is painted a highly-visible white and marked with a large red cross.",
"This is the St. George's Cross, associated with the English, and more broadly British, heritage of the province.",
"The lighthouse was built rapidly in 1829, being completed by the end of the same year in which its construction was approved by the House of Assembly of New Brunswick which financed it.The other buildings at the light station, including a keeper's residence built in 1840, a fog alarm building built during World War I, a workshed completed by 1915, and a boathouse built in 1947, are similarly painted white with roofs and doors in a bright red.The rocky outcropping on which the lighthouse stands is cut off from Campobello Island during high tide.The station is situated on a small islet which is accessible by land only during low tide.",
"Roads have connected the station to the rest of Campobello Island since 1830, but communication between the lighthouse and the outside continued to be conducted primarily by boat until the late 19th century.",
"This was due both to the intermittency of conditions and the lack of direct connection between Campobello and mainland Canada, (the overland route required traveling through Lubec.A third-order fresnel lens, installed in 1887, is located in the lantern room, with the original fog bell."
],
[
"History",
"The United States Congress had authorized and appropriated funds for the construction of West Quoddy Head Light in 1806, seeing the stout, striped lighthouse completed two years later in 1808.While this light aided sailors in the southern region of the Bay of Fundy, most of Passamaquoddy Bay lies north of Campobello Island, far from the range of the American beacon.",
"In February 1829 the provincial government of New Brunswick, in the interest of \"defraying the expense of building a Light House on the northern head of Campo Bello Island\", designated £400 () to see Harbour Head Lighthouse erected.",
"The timber structure was completed quickly, with operations beginning before the new year.",
"The station's first keeper was John Snell, who received an annual salary of £120; Snell and his underlings lived in the lower chamber of the tower until the keeper's residence was built in 1840.The lantern room was overhauled in 1842 to permit for a larger light source and lens structure.",
"This year also saw the initial painting of the tower's iconic red cross.",
"The modern fresnel lens was installed in 1887.The first steam-powered foghorn and alarm system was established in 1877, but did not function properly.",
"A renewed system, \"the loudest and best sounding fog-alarm in the Bay of Fundy,\" according to one observer, was operational by 1885.During the First World War, a number of improvements to the station were made, including the erection of a dedicated fog alarm building and workers' shed.",
"The new fog alarm building was outfitted with a class-C diaphone fog signal.The Canadian Coast Guard operated the station as a functional beacon until 1986.In 1988, proceedings for preserving the site as a piece of New Brunswick's historical heritage began; the \"Friends of The Head Harbour Lightstation\" organization was established in 2000 to manage the station as a historical and tourism site.",
"Full control of the site was transferred to the group in 2006."

"Since 2018, the CEO of Bright Data is Or Lenchner."
],
[
"History",
"The company was founded under the name Luminati Networks as a division of the Hola VPN company in 2014.In 2017, Luminati Networks was sold separately from Hola to EMK Capital, a private investment fund from London, at a value of approximately 200 million dollars.",
"In March 2021, Luminati Networks was renamed to Bright Data.In May 2021, Bright Data founded an organization called The Bright Initiative with the aim of making data available at no cost to non-profits, organizations and research bodies.",
"The organization serves more than 700 companies, including 300 academic institutions.In September 2022, the company acquired the Israeli start-up Market Beyond, which works in the analysis of e-commerce data based on artificial intelligence.In June 2023, Bright Data joined the Amazon Web Services ISV Accelerate program.In July, X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, sued Bright Data for scraping data from Twitter, violating its terms of service.",
"This followed a similar lawsuit by Meta Platforms against Bright Data for data harvesting from Facebook and Instagram in January of the same year.",
"Bright Data countersued, asserting its commitment to making public data accessible, claiming legality in its web data collection practices.In January 2024, Bright Data won a legal dispute with Meta.",
"A federal judge in San Francisco declared that Bright Data did not breach Meta's terms of use by scraping data from Facebook and Instagram, consequently denying Meta's request for summary judgment on claims of contract breach.",
"This court decision in favor of Bright Data’s data scraping approach marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate over public access to web data, reinforcing the freedom of access to public web data for anyone.At the same time, Bright Data, in collaboration with the Molly Rose Foundation charity, released a research report titled \"''Preventable yet Pervasive: The Prevalence and Characteristics of Harmful Content, Including Suicide and Self-Harm Material, on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest''.\"",
"This study provided insights into the extent and nature of harmful content on these social media platforms."

"Composite Creatures"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Composite Creatures''''' is a science fiction novel by English poet and novelist Caroline Hardaker.",
"It is her debut novel and was first published in the United Kingdom in April 2021 by Angry Robot.",
"It is set in the near future on an Earth-like world that has been damaged by climate change.",
"''Composite Creatures'' was shortlisted for the 2022 Kitschies Award for Best Debut Novel.",
"It was also selected by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Lavie Tidhar as one of the best science fiction, fantasy and horror books of 2021 for ''The Washington Post''."
],
[
"Plot introduction",
"An Earth-like world in the near future is beset with pollution and global warming.",
"All animal life except humans have died out, and those remaining are reliant on medical technology and artificially produced food to survive.",
"A cancer-like disease called \"greying\" is spreading rapidly and shortens people's life spans dramatically.A private healthcare provider, Easton Grove has developed a solution to extend the lives of a select few, and Norah is one of the lucky ones chosen to receive their treatment.",
"They select a partner of compatible biology for her, a writer named Arthur, and a pet named Nut.",
"Nut is an ovum organi, a strange cat-like creature Easton Grove has created for Norah's and Arthur's treatment."
],
[
"Background",
"Hardaker said the inspiration for ''Composite Creatures'' came from a collection of science fiction poems she had been asked to write for an Edinburgh magazine.",
"While looking around her house for ideas, Juno, her cat, walked in, and watching her movements and behaviour prompted Hardaker to write a poem about her.",
"This poem later became the precursor to ''Composite Creatures''.",
"Hardaker wrote in the book's \"Acknowledgements\":Hardaker explained that ''Composite Creatures'' is about microplastic and chemical pollution in the near future on a world similar to ours.",
"She researched the effects of such pollution and global warming, and found striking parallels between the direction this world was taking and what could happen here on Earth.",
"She said, \"there’s a huge moral question there, and whether humanity goes down that road is still up for debate, thank goodness.\""
],
[
"Critical reception",
"In a review of ''Composite Creatures'' in ''Booklist'', Nell Keep wrote that Hardaker's \"dystopian world of poisoned soil and privatized health ... has ... prose that feels as precise and clinical as her subjects' lives.\"",
"She recommended the novel for readers of Jeff VanderMeer and other writers of climate change dystopian fiction.",
"A review in ''Publishers Weekly'' described ''Composite Creatures'' as a \"strange dystopian world\" that is \"as thought-provoking as it is chilling.\"",
"The reviewer said it \"delves unabashedly into the surreal, consistently catching the reader off guard with eerie imagery and delightful twists on expectations.",
"\"Sam Tyler described ''Composite Creatures'' as \"eerie, yet familiar\", with \"a strange unerring feel to it\".",
"Writing in ''SF Book Reviews'' Tyler stated that the book's strength is Hardaker's \"poetic world building\", but hidden beneath the poetry and the everyday lives of Norah and Arthur is \"shocking Science Fiction and Horror\".",
"Tyler said ''Composite Creatures'' is not an easy read, with its \"florid language and slightly out of step feel\", but if the reader is patient and reads between the lines, it is all revealed in the end in a way \"that is not quite like anything else you are likely to have read.",
"\"David Hebblethwaite wrote in ''Strange Horizons'' that while first impressions of ''Composite Creatures'' are that the setting \"does not feel strictly plausible\", after a while, it becomes apparent that it \"doesn’t have to be plausible\" because \"it is so solidly imagined.\"",
"He said the book is full of secrets: Norah's and Art's \"businesslike\" relationship, the sinister Easton Grove, and the mysterious Nut (the \"perfect little ball of fur\").",
"But as one digs deeper, more and more \"details come into focus\", and in the end, when all is explained, Hebblethwaite stated, \"you can appreciate the breadth and depth of what Hardaker has imagined.\""

"Unomattina in famiglia"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Unomattina in famiglia''' is an Italian television programme, a spin-off of Unomattina, broadcast on Rai 2 from 1989 to 2010 and on Rai 1 since 2010.Since 2023 it has been hosted by Beppe Convertini, Ingrid Muccitelli and Monica Setta.The programme has taken on numerous titles over the years: in 1989 it began with the title Mattina 2, and from 1993 to 2010 it took the name Mattina in Famiglia (with the exception of the 2003–2004 season, which resumed the old title In Famiglia - Mattina 2), while since 2010, with the move from Rai 2 to Rai 1, it has become Unomattina in Famiglia.The programme is broadcast from the historic Studio 1 in Via Teulada in Rome, shared with I fatti vostri.",
"It currently airs on Saturdays from 8.30 am to 10.30 am and on Sundays from 6.30 am to 9.30 am."
],
[
"History of the programme",
"The programme, created by Michele Guardì and broadcast on Saturday and Sunday mornings, began on 9 December 1989 initially with the title ''Mattina 2'', the ideal continuation of the Unomattina container broadcast from Monday to Friday on Rai 1.",
"''Mattina 2'' , hosted by Alberto Castagna from 1989 to 1992 first with Sofia Spada and then with Isabel Russinova from 1990 to 1992, later replaced by Alessandro Cecchi Paone and Paola Perego, presents itself as a container full of columns for the whole family.",
"In these first editions, however, the program received a low level of approval from the public.On September 25, 1993, the program changed its title to '''''Mattina in famiglia'''''.",
"The morning broadcast hosted by the reconfirmed Alessandro Cecchi Paone and Paola Perego, including some short editions of TG2, remains unchanged, continuing to offer numerous features dedicated to nature, cooking, sport, television, fashion, the Italian language, science and religion and to the psychological consultancy curated by Ottavio Rosati.",
"With the arrival of Massimo Giletti in 1994, supported by Paola Perego in the two television seasons 1994/95 and 1995/96.the program becomes a real family game show, with games, interviews with famous people and spaces dedicated to weather forecasts.",
"Some telephone games are also introduced for the audience at home, such as ''Il gioco del topo'' (translates to The mouse game), present for numerous seasons from 1994/95 to 2002/03.In these two television seasons 1994/95 and 1995/96 the program finally managed to obtain considerable consensus from the public.After Giletti's abandonment in 1996, the baton was taken over by Tiberio Timperi, host of the program from 1996 to today (with the exception of the 2004/2005 and 2018/2019 seasons), and some variations arrived in the lineup; however, the program does not achieve the desired success, especially compared to the great following obtained by the two previous editions, and this causes the program to return to the previous formula.",
"Over the years from 1996 onwards, Timperi has been supported by various presenters: Barbara D'Urso, Simonetta Martone, Roberta Capua, Livia Azzariti, Adriana Volpe, Miriam Leone, Francesca Fialdini, Ingrid Muccitelli, Monica Setta and co-host Marcello Cyril.",
"In the autumn of 2010, the Board of Directors of RAI decided to promote a single program on Rai 1 over the weekend and to save on the costs of only one program of the company, decided to maintain only one program, opting to promote the formula of the Rai 2 and moving it to Rai 1, still with the same title of '''''Mattina in famiglia''''' (replacing ''Unomattina week-end''), renaming it the following season 2011/12 with the name of ''Unomattina in famiglia''.During the live broadcast on Saturday, 26 November 2011, with the firefighters of Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, due to the flood in Messina, they make a gaffe announcing the recovery of a missing person (when in reality he dies) and the presenter Miriam Leone asks the firefighters \" How are you?\"",
"(question referring to the missing person) as you believe that the missing person may still be alive.In autumn 2018 Timperi was replaced by Luca Rosini, supported by Ingrid Muccitelli.",
"After two editions, from the 33rd edition, Muccitelli returned."

[
"Theme song",
"Since 7 January 2012, the theme song for Unomattina in famiglia is Another Sunrise by Planet Funk.",
"However, from subsequent editions, the theme song of the programme returned to being the historical one, first in a rearranged version and then in the original version.",
"In the 2021 - 2022 and 2022 - 2023 editions, the theme song before and after the commercial breaks and the TG1 editions was a jingle based on the song Ma stasera by Marco Mengoni.",
"From the 2023 - 2024 season the opening theme and before and after the commercial breaks is an instrumental version of Forever Young by Alphaville."

"The soundtrack was considered to be a blend of Indian and Western classical music with the Tamil folk.Upon release, the soundtrack was appreciated for its composition and the musical styles and genres, which were much different from earlier Tamil film music and eventually became popular after its release, besides attributing to the film's success.",
"It further established Ilaiyaraaja as a leading composer in the Tamil film industry who would later work on several films"
],
[
"Background and development",
"Before his debut as a composer in ''Annakili'', Ilaiyaraaja worked as a session guitarist, keyboardist, and organist for film music composers and directors such as Salil Chowdhury from West Bengal.",
"After being referred by Master Dhanraj, he assisted Kannada film composer G. K. Venkatesh during the early-1970s, who helped him to orchestrate melodic outlines developed by Venkatesh and learned composing under his guidance.",
"He eventually wrote and composed background music for Muslim devotional songs rendered by Nagore E. M. Haniffa.At that point, when Arunachalam wanted a debutant composer who could provide new kind of music, it was Selvaraj who suggested Raaja's name.",
"Arunachalam added \"Ilaiya\" () as prefix in his name Raaja and he named as \"Ilaiyaraaja\" to differentiate from the already established composer A. M. Rajah.",
"During a meeting with Ilaiyaraaja, Arunachalam asked if he had composed any songs for the film, he casually sang a bunch of songs, one of them was \"Annakili Unnai Theduthe\" and \"Machanai Paartheengala\" using harmonium.",
"Arunachalam eventually wrote the film's screenplay based on the film's songs."
],
[
"Production",
"Ilaiyaraaja applied the techniques of modern popular film music orchestration to Tamil folk poetry and folk song melodies, which created a fusion of Western and Tamil idioms.",
"According to historian S. Theodore Baskaran, the compositions were \"a blend of Indian classical music, Western classical music and folk music of the Tamils\".The song \"Machanai Paartheengala\" was originally composed and sung at a marriage by Ilaiyaraaja and his orchestra even before the film's release.",
"The song \"Sonthamillai Banthamillai\" is based on Nadanamakriya raga.",
"Arunachalam revealed he wrote lyrics for the song \"Sondhamillai\" even before its tune was composed while lyrics for songs \"Machanai\", \"Annakili Unnai\" and \"Suttha Samba\" were written after its tunes were composed.",
"The song \"Sonthamillai Banthamillai\" was deleted during the first release of the film; however after fans demanded the song it was later again added into the film.When the song \"Annakili Unnai\" was being recorded, during the first take the studio faced a power cut though it was recorded in second take but the song was not recorded clearly as the recorder's assistant forgot to plug in the switch but it was improvised in the third take.",
"Initially, Ilaiyaraaja wanted S. P. Balasubrahmanyam to sing the title track, but as Balasubrahmanyam was unwell during that time, he then approached T. M. Soundararajan to perform the sad version of the song."

[
"Track listing"
],
[
"Reception",
"According to Baskaran, the songs were \"authentically folksy and it changed the way the film music was composed\".",
"Randor Guy, writing for ''The Hindu'' called Ilaiyaraaja's music as a \"major highlight\" and described \"Machaana Pathingala\" as an \"evergreen melody\".",
"Nandhu Sundaram of ''The News Minute'' attributed Ilaiyaraaja's music being much different from M. S. Viswanathan's works with \"the harmonics, the beats and the lyricism are all radically different\" and \"just like the folksy tunes, it is the background score that makes ''Annakili'' a really great watch.\""
],
[
"Impact",
"The soundtrack was critically acclaimed and its success and popularity, established Ilaiyaraaja as a leading composer in Tamil cinema.",
"The soundscapes, composition, orchestration and instrumentation were praised by critics attributed it being much different from earlier Tamil films, and also attributed that Ilaiyaraaja had revolutionized Tamil film music by providing wide range of genres and musical styles.",
"During the film's 100th day of theatrical run, audience applauded to Ilaiyaraaja's name in the title card, and danced to the song \"Machaana Pathingala\".",
"Trade analysts described that the songs were instrumental in the film's success, besides the story and screenplay.",
"Since then, ''Annakili'' has been regarded as one of Ilaiyaraaja's best works in his career, with ''News18'' called \"Machaana Pathingala\" as one of the \"best songs to date\".In an interview to Srinivasa Ramanujam of ''The Hindu'' during 2018, Ilaiyaraaja recalled that he used to go for walks on the Santhome Beach, and used to hear the radio announcement of the airplay of the film's songs in his neighbour's house, where \"the person inside used to shout, 'Annakili varudhu' (They're playing ''Annakili'' songs) to his neighbour.",
"By the time I walked to the end of the street, radios in every house would be playing the same song.",
"It was a wonderful experience.\"",
"Critic Sujatha Narayanan attributed the success of \"Machaana Pathingala\" which led to the emergence of dappankuthu numbers in films during the 1980s; she felt the song was \"rustic\" in the beat and lyrics, yet \"melodious\" in the tune."
],
[
"Popular culture",
"The violin portions of the title song were used by K for the \"Bar Anthem\" in ''Mugamoodi'' (2012).",
"The song \"Machaana Pathingala\" was parodied in ''Japanil Kalyanaraman'' (1985), in a comedy subplot featuring Goundamani and Kovai Sarala, as they were lost during a visit to Japan.",
"It was featured in ''Padikkadavan'' (2009), in a sequence where Rocky's (Dhanush) parents go to their native town to get him engaged to his niece Thirukkani (Aarthi); the song \"Adi Rakkayi\" was played in another sequence during Rocky and Assault Arumugam's (Vivek) visit to Thoravi, a fictional town in Andhra Pradesh."

"Denial of the 7 October attacks"
],
[
"Introduction",
"According to Elizabeth Dwoskin of the ''Washington Post'', the October 7 attack was among the most well-documented terror attacks in history, including evidence from smartphone cameras and GoPros of attacking Hamas militants.",
"Dwoskin states that conspiracy theories exist stating that the attacks did not occur at all, or that they were false-flags.",
"Dwoskin writes that some Jewish leaders and researchers have compared denial of the events on October 7 to Holocaust denialism.An Israeli legislative proposal approved by the Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislative Affairs aims to impose five-year prison sentences for individuals found denying the events of or supporting the October 7 attacks."
],
[
"Background",
"According to the ''Washington Post'', the October 7 attack was among the most well-documented terror attacks in history, including \"a crush of evidence\" from smartphone cameras and GoPros of attacking Hamas militants.",
"By January 2024, there was a small, but growing group that denied basic facts of the attacks and spread falsehoods and misleading narratives that minimized the violence that occurred or disputed its origins.According to Haaretz, malign actors, \"In accordance with the disinformation playbook\" have purposefully decontextualized their reporting to \"falsely claim that Haaretz corroborated the false theory that the IDF committed mass killings of its own people.\"",
"According to Shayan Sardarizadeh, BBC Verify's disinformation expert, the \"denialist narrative\" that “it was Israel that killed its own civilians on 7 October, not Hamas,” has \"sadly become prominent online.",
"\"Furthermore, Hamas officials rejected the accusations of rapes and gender based crimes by its militants as “unfounded lies\", and claimed they were part of “Zionist campaigns which promote unfounded lies and allegations to demonize the Palestinian resistance.”"
],
[
"Spread",
"Jennifer V. Evans has tied the denialism surrounding October 7 to Holocaust denial.",
"Researchers see parallels to disinformation surrounding the 9/11 attacks, which some fringe groups argue was perpetrated by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.",
"Joel Finkelstein of NCRI stated that \"there's a built-in audience that wants to deny that Jews are the victims of atrocity and further the notion that Jews are secretly behind everything.\"",
"He said efforts to say Israeli was responsible for October 7 are part of a broader strategy by antisemitic extremists to undermine Jewish suffering.The claims were found across the internet, including on the Reddit subforum LateStageCapitalism and on publications critical of Israel like Electronic Intifada and The Grayzone.",
"They have also been popularized by right-wing Holocaust deniers like Owen Benjamin and far-right conspiracy theorists.",
"The claims are based on cherry-picked evidence to push misleading narratives.Emerson Brooking from the Digital Forensic Research Lab at the Atlantic Council pointed to Holocaust denial as what may happen to October 7, despite copious real-time documentation of the attacks."
],
[
"Denial claims",
"According to Elizabeth Dwoskin of the ''Washington Post'', the the October 7 attack was among the most well-documented terror attacks in history, including \"a crush of evidence\" from smartphone cameras and GoPros of attacking Hamas militants.\"",
"However, \"A small but growing group denies the basic facts of the attacks, pushing a spectrum of falsehoods and misleading narratives that minimize the violence or dispute its origins.\"",
"Dwoskin writes that some scholars and experts have compared denial of the events on October 7 to Holocaust denialism."
],
[
"Responses",
"=== Legal action ===On February 5, 2024, the Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislative Affairs approved a bill aimed at penalizing denial of the October 7 attacks, imposing up to five years in prison for such acts.",
"The bill, initiated by Yisrael Beiteinu MK Oded Forer, is aimed at individuals who deny the occurrence of the massacre or attempt to justify, praise, or support the acts carried out during the event."

"Battle of Gagra (1919)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Battle of Gagra (1919)''' was fought between the Democratic Republic of Georgia and the White Army.",
"It ended with the victory of Georgia."
],
[
"Background",
"The Sochi district, which Tsarist Russia annexed to Gagra in 1904, was a disputed territory between Southern Russia (white movement) and Georgia.",
"After the Allies' victory in the First World War, the Caucasus became part of the British sphere of influence based on the British-French treaty of December 1917.Both the Whites and Georgia welcomed the arrival of British soldiers in the region.",
"Anton Denikin, a supporter of the White Army and the Allies, hoped that Britain would support the idea of a \"united and indivisible Russia\".",
"Meanwhile, Georgia relied on Harold Wilson's principle of self-determination.",
"Britain aimed to maintain the status quo in the region until Russia's future was decided at the Paris Peace Conference.",
"The goal was to unite anti-Bolshevik forces against Bolshevism.",
"The representatives sent by London to the Caucasus republics and to Denikin often acted as proxies for their respective governments.",
"This lack of a clear political stance made London's policy appear inconsistent to the parties involved.",
"In December 1918, Denikin capitalized on the Armenian-Georgian conflict and seized several villages in the Sochi district that were previously occupied by Georgia without any resistance.",
"However, Britain supported the status quo, which dictated that Denikin should not advance further south.",
"Denikin was upset that Britain was \"disposing of Russian territory\" without his consent and turning a blind eye to Georgia's alliance with Germany.",
"Despite this, he disobeyed Britain and crossed the Loo River on February 6.He was able to take the entire Sochi district in just four days and push Georgia back to the Bzif River.Denikin never forgave Britain for siding with its enemies, and Georgia blamed Britain for allowing the Russians to attack, which undermined British authority.",
"Although the parties understood that Britain wanted to maintain the status quo, it became clear that Britain would not take action to restore it if it was changed by force.",
"The White Army and the People's Guard of Georgia faced each other on the Bzif River, with Britain placing its garrison along the riverbank.",
"On April 9, General Milne, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, requested that Georgia move its troops to the Bzif River line.",
"However, British authority was already weakened at that time.After capturing the Sochi district, the White Guards immediately began restoring the \"pre-revolutionary order\".",
"This included returning lands to their previous owners, carrying out several mobilizations, organizing requisitions of goods, fodder, and transports, and conducting punitive operations.",
"In response, local peasants in the Sochi district formed green armies, and a partisan movement developed.",
"On April 12, 1919, 1,500 White Army soldiers carried out punitive operations against the local population in Sochi and Adler.",
"In response, Georgia mobilized the regular army, 8 battalions of the People's Guard, Colonel Giorgi Ximshiashvili's Cavalry Division, and Colonel Kargareteli's 4th Artillery Battery on the Bzif River.",
"They decided to launch an offensive operation in the direction of the Mekhadir River in the Gagra region.",
"Foreign Minister Yevgeny Gegechkor sent letters regarding the operation to British Expeditionary Force representative General Thomson and, upon his advice, to General Milne.",
"The operation received a positive response from General Thomson.",
"Thomson believed that Georgia should not act without British consent, and they were given freedom of action if the White Army did not comply with Thomson's proposal to retreat within 48 hours.",
"General Aleksandre Gedevanishvili, the commander of the Georgian Armed Forces, was the last to rely on Denikin to retreat to the Mekhadir River."
],
[
"Battle",
"On April 16, the People's Guard and regular army units launched an attack on the Bzif River.",
"The attack involved all three types of troops: infantry, artillery, and cavalry.",
"To increase maneuvering space, the Georgians constructed a new bridge on the upper reaches of the Bzif River and forced the river.",
"On April 17, at 1 o'clock, Giorgi Lomtadze's third battalion captured Gagra for the first time without any losses and took 500 prisoners.",
"On April 18, at 9 AM, the People's Guard Division crossed the Mekhadir River.",
"The White Army retreated near the village of Vesioloe.",
"On April 19, Georgian units reached the Mzimti River and approached Adler.",
"Along with the Georgian units' attack, the Green Army rebellion broke out in Sochi and Adler, behind the White Army.",
"The Green Army and Georgian units acted in a coordinated manner.",
"The White Army retreated.Before the start of the second phase of the operation, both General Thomson and General Milne of the British command protested against Georgia.",
"Thomson assessed the operation as a \"hostile move\" towards Britain.",
"Thomson's change of attitude may have been due to the robbery and murder of a British captain and doctor in Tiflis.",
"Additionally, in Akhalkalaki, a Georgian soldier shot a British lieutenant colonel, which Thomson strongly criticized in an official note.",
"Georgia stopped advancing towards Sochi and Adler to avoid worsening the situation.",
"Georgian forces withdrew to the Psou River.",
"Denikin prepared the Black Sea troops to launch an offensive to fully capture Sochi and take the Sukhumi district.",
"However, General Briggs, the British representative with Denikin, convinced him that negotiations could lead to Georgia agreeing to retreat.",
"According to an alternate version, Denikin called off the offensive because he was unable to mobilize sufficient forces.",
"This was due to the fact that the majority of his troops were engaged in fighting the Bolsheviks on the main front.Negotiations between the government of Georgia and \"South Russia\" began in Tiflis on May 21, 1919.British Generals Briggs and Beach, who were British military representatives to Denikin, participated in these negotiations on behalf of Denikin's government.",
"General Briggs advised Georgia that Britain would soon withdraw from the South Caucasus, and therefore it would be better for Georgia to sort out relations with Denikin's government.",
"The negotiations ended without results on May 23.On May 24, a second meeting was held with representatives of the Denikin government.",
"General Beach warned that Denikin would attack if he did not retreat, but Noe Zhordania argued that such an attack would be seen as one with British assistance.",
"Georgia refused to surrender Gagra."

"Desmodium perplexum"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Desmodium perplexum''''' is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae.",
"It is native to eastern North America.",
"The specific name ''perplexum'' refers to the confusion surrounding this species since its initial description in 1950.",
"''Desmodium perplexum'' is similar in appearance to ''Desmodium glabellum''.",
"The two species remained a source of confusion for botanists until a more reliable identification key became available in 2020.Consequently, much of the information published prior to that date tends to be misleading."
],
[
"Description",
"''Desmodium perplexum'' is a herbaceous perennial plant.",
"It has trifoliate leaves with petioles at least long.",
"Its fruit is a type of legume called a loment that separates into single-seeded segments with hooked hairs that stick to fur and clothing.",
"''Desmodium perplexum'' is morphologically similar to ''Desmodium glabellum''.",
"The two species may be distinguished by a combination of fruiting and vegetative characters: ''Desmodium glabellum'' ''Desmodium perplexum'' '''Fruit shape''' The lower (ventral) margins of most segments are straight to slightly convex (angular segments) The ventral margins of most segments are concave (rounded segments) '''Leaf arrangement''' Going up the stem, the leaves are gradually but noticeably reduced in size and petiole length, often with small leaves extending onto the flowering branches Going up the stem, the leaves are mostly the same size and do not (or slightly) extend onto the flowering branches (the few leaves that do extend onto the flowering branches are reduced in size but abruptly so) '''Leaf shape''' Terminal leaflets are lanceolate to broadly ovate (most specimens, especially of full sun habitats, are on the narrow end of this range), broadest nearer the base than the middle Terminal leaflets are narrowly ovate to broadly elliptic-ovate (most specimens are on the wider end of this range), broadest nearer the middle than the base"
],
[
"Taxonomy",
"''Desmodium perplexum'' was first described by the American botanist Bernice Schubert in 1950.The type specimen was collected by Fernald and Long in Sussex County, Virginia in September 1945.The specific name ''perplexum'' refers to the \"perplexity of botanists\" concerned with the taxon known as ''Desmodium dillenii'' As \"the least clearly understood species of the genus\", Schubert declared ''Desmodium dillenii'' to be a ''nomen confusum'' (i.e., a \"confusing name\") and then attempted to resolve the confusion by splitting the taxon into two distinct taxa, one of which became ''Desmodium perplexum'' The other taxon was given the name ''Desmodium glabellum'' The name ''Desmodium dillenii'' is a synonym for ''Desmodium glabellum'', not ''Desmodium perplexum''.",
"''Desmodium perplexum'' is a member of the ''Desmodium paniculatum'' complex, a group of closely related taxa that also includes ''Desmodium paniculatum'' ''sensu stricto'', ''Desmodium glabellum'', ''Desmodium fernaldii'', and the synonym ''Desmodium dillenii''.",
"Alternatively, some botanists lump these taxa into a single polymorphic species, ''Desmodium paniculatum'' ''sensu lato'', in which case ''Desmodium perplexum'' becomes a synonym of ''Desmodium paniculatum''."

"Obelisk (biology)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"An '''obelisk''' is a \"viroid-like element\" of a type first described in a January 2024 preprint, whose authors say that \"Obelisks form their own distinct phylogenetic group\", as their RNA sequences, discovered by computer-aided metatranscriptomics, are not homologous with the genetic code of any other life form.With their relationship to other organisms being unknown, they are an example of the ''incertae sedis''."
],
[
"Distribution and pathology",
"Obelisks have been found in human stool samples, and inside specimens of ''Streptococcus sanguinis'', a species of bacteria, taken from human mouths.",
"Some human subjects harboured obelisks for more than 300 days.",
"The initial study showed the presence of obelisks in about 7 percent of the stool samples, and about 50 percent of saliva samples, from individuals living on all continents.The effect of obelisks on human health, if any, is yet to be determined, as are issues such as their life cycles, and what factors their replication depend on."
],
[
"Genetics and biochemistry",
"Other features of obelisks include circular RNA genome assemblies with around 1000 base pairs, rod-like secondary structures which encompass the entire genome.",
"In contrast to viroids, their RNA is translated into proteins, tentatively called \"'''oblins'''\".",
"The two proteins listed in the preprint have been named Oblin-1 and Oblin-2.First structural predictions say that Oblin-1 can bind metal ions and thus could be involved in cellular signalling.",
"Oblin-2 features a binding site which is typical for protein complexes; Oblin-2 could therefore bind to enzymes of its host cells."

"Origin",
"=== Predecessors ======= Rio de Janeiro ====On November 15, 1879, Pedro II granted Charles Paul Mackie, Bell Labs' representative in Rio de Janeiro, the first authorization in Brazil to operate telephone services through Decree No.",
"7,539.On April 17, 1881, the Telephone Company of Brazil was licensed to operate.",
"By 1883, five stations with 1,000 subscribers each had been installed in Rio de Janeiro.In the 1880s, several companies became involved in providing telephone services in Rio de Janeiro: Companhia União Telefônica do Brasil (1885), Empresa Obras Públicas do Brasil (1889), Companhia Telefônica Industrial (1890), Siemens & Halsk (1897) and Brasilianische Elektrizitäts Gesellschaft (1899); the latter was acquired in 1905 by the Canadian-owned Rio de Janeiro Tramway, Light and Power Company and was renamed Rio de Janeiro Telephone Company in 1907.In 1897, the Central, Largo do Machado, São Clemente, Estácio de Sá, São Cristóvão, Engenho Novo, Andaraí and Santa Teresa stations, located in Rio de Janeiro, were closed after the cancellation of the contract with Companhia Telefônica Industrial, the firm responsible for operating the service.",
"In February, a deal was signed with a German company, which provisionally installed a telephone exchange in the city until the Central Station was inaugurated on November 3, 1899, in a building on Tiradentes Square.",
"On March 9, 1906, a fire destroyed the exchange's facilities, which reopened in September 1906.In 1910, the Interurban Telephone Company was created and began operating in Niterói and Petrópolis.==== São Paulo ====In 1883 the first telephone station was installed in Santos and had 75 subscribers.",
"On January 5, 1884, the Empresa Telefônica Campineira, the first company in the state of São Paulo, was created in Campinas.",
"On January 7, 1884, the Companhia Telégrafos Urbanos installed the first 22 telephones in the city of São Paulo.",
"However, the firms did not possess exclusive rights to the services.In 1891, the São Paulo and Santos lines, which belonged to the Companhia União Telefônica do Brasil, were transferred to the Companhia Telefônica do Estado de São Paulo, a firm that also acquired the Campinas lines in 1911.In 1896, the Rede Telefônica Bragantina, which lasted 15 years and served 98 cities in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, was created in Bragança Paulista.",
"By the end of 1916, the Companhia Telefônica do Estado de São Paulo had established six telephone stations in the city of São Paulo (Central, Brás, Bom Retiro, Cambuci, Água Branca and Cidade), one in Campinas and one in Santos.==== Company unification ====In 1912, the Canadian holding company Brazilian Traction Light and Power Company Ltd. was created.",
"It controlled the São Paulo Tramway, Light and Power Company and the Rio de Janeiro Tramway, Light and Power Company in the energy sector, as well as the Rio de Janeiro Telephone Company in the telecommunications sector.In 1914, the firm acquired the Interurban Telephone Company and, in 1916, became the manager of the Companhia Telefônica do Estado de São Paulo and the Rede Telefônica Bragantina through the Rio de Janeiro & São Paulo Telephone Company, authorized to operate by Decree No.",
"11,500 of February 23, 1915.It also merged the Companhia de Telefones Interestaduais, a telephone operator that worked in several cities in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.",
"In 1919, Companhia Telefônica do Estado de São Paulo and Rede Telefônica Bragantina were definitively incorporated.=== Creation of CTB ===On January 15, 1923, at a meeting held by the board of directors of the Brazilian Traction Light and Power Co. Ltd. in Toronto, managers decided that the Rio de Janeiro & São Paulo Telephone Company would change its name to the Brazilian Telephone Company.",
"Decree No.",
"16.222 of November 28, 1923 authorized the company to continue operating in Brazil and allowed the translation of the name into Portuguese as Companhia Telefônica Brasileira (CTB)."

"First period (1923-1966)",
"In 1923 Brazil had 100,000 telephones; 75% of which were controlled by CTB.",
"On March 25, 1929, the company registered 100,000 installed telephones.",
"In December 1936, it operated 166,000 telephones, including 99,000 automatics, 63,000 in Rio de Janeiro (with 16,000 manuals remaining) and 22,000 in São Paulo (with 19,000 manuals remaining).",
"In February 1937, CTB reached 100,000 automatic telephones installed.",
"On July 25, 1939, it reached 200,000 telephones installed by CTB.",
"At the firm's request, the inauguration ceremony was held at the Catete Palace and attended by President Getúlio Vargas and Minister of Foreign Affairs Oswaldo Aranha, who called Carlos Martins, the Brazilian ambassador in Washington.=== Operational structure ======= Administrative headquarters ====Detail of the facade of the Sete de Abril Building, listed in 1992.The administrative headquarters were located in the city of Rio de Janeiro.",
"The headquarters of the São Paulo Operations Directorate (DOSP) was based in the Sete de Abril Complex, whose main block is the Sete de Abril Building, an ''art deco'' property designed by Ramos de Azevedo in partnership with Severo & Villares in the renowned Ramos de Azevedo Office, and inaugurated on September 24, 1938.Its facade became a heritage site in 1992.Currently closed, the complex is the second in the city of São Paulo to receive a permit to perform a retrofit within the rules of the Requalifica Centro Program.",
"It will be reopened under the name Basílio 177 as an apartment complex with an open gallery of stores and restaurants.=== Telephone exchanges ======= Federal District ====Until 1929, all telephone exchanges in the city of Rio de Janeiro were manual.",
"On December 31, with the inauguration of the North automatic telephone exchange, CTB made the first change to the city's telephone lines, giving the numbers of the main exchanges a one-digit prefix to identify them and forming a five-digit set: Central (\"2\" station), North automatic (\"3\" station), North manual (\"4\" station), Beira Mar (\"5\" station), Sul (\"6\" station), Ipanema (\"7\" station), Vila (\"8\" station), Ramos (\"8-8\" station), Piedade (\"8-9\" station) and Jardim (\"9\" station).",
"On January 13, 1935, the number 2 was added to the beginning of each telephone prefix.The manual telephone exchanges in Jacarepaguá, Marechal Hermes, Bangu, Campo Grande, Santa Cruz, Ilha do Governador and Paquetá became automated in 1965 when they began to be operated by Companhia Estadual de Telefones da Guanabara (CETEL).",

"Huber, in exchange for the exclusive rights to sell advertisements, offered to publish the list of subscribers and the Yellow Pages free of charge.In 1954, CTB sold its shares in LTB to another company, which allowed LTB to produce lists for other concessionaires, while maintaining the contract to publish CTB lists.==== Publications ====In 1928, the ''Sino Azul'' magazine, a monthly periodical distributed free of charge to CTB employees, was launched.",

"Crisis and nationalization",
"Due to the global economic crisis and World War II, telephone equipment stopped arriving in Brazil.",
"From 1940 onwards, the queues for lines increased; in 1945, the queue in Rio de Janeiro amounted to 29,000 people and in São Paulo to 21,000 people.",
"The crisis worsened due to the high import tariffs on equipment.",
"The authority to set prices remained divided between the three branches of government and prevented the uniform establishment of technical and economic criteria.",
"By 1956 the waiting list had reached 139,000 people in Rio de Janeiro and 151,000 in São Paulo.",
"The high demand for telephone lines represented a serious problem in the main urban centers.Long-distance calls required hours of waiting.",
"Telephone communications with the rest of the world also failed to meet the international needs of Brazil's expanding economy.",
"The cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Brasília were interconnected via microwave links.",
"Communication to most of the states was via radiotelegraph and radiotelephone services, mostly run by foreign concessionaires (Telégrafo Nacional, Radiobrás, Radional, Western, All América and Italcable).=== Changes and loss of concessions ===The holding company Brazilian Traction Light and Power Co. Ltd. established telephone services in Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais by founding Companhia Telefônica do Espírito Santo (CTES) in 1951 and Companhia Telefônica de Minas Gerais (CTMG) in 1953, both subsidiaries of CTB.",
"In 1955, CTB served 175 cities in the state of São Paulo, but automated service was only available in the capital and five other towns.",
"Dissatisfaction with the service provided led the government to authorize the creation of local telephone companies in several cities with the intention of implementing automatic exchanges.In 1958, the Companhia Telefônica da Borda do Campo (CTBC) assumed responsibility for services in the municipalities of ABC Region, as the inadequacy of the telephone connection between these cities and São Paulo had serious economic consequences for the region, which was experiencing fast industrial growth.During the same period, CTB lost coverage in important cities such as Piracicaba to Telefônica Piracicaba, Jundiaí to Telefônica Jundiaí, Sorocaba to Cia Rede Telefônica Sorocabana, Osasco to Cia Telefônica Suburbana Paulista, Guarulhos to Cia Telefônica de Guarulhos, Mogi das Cruzes to Telefônica Mogi das Cruzes, Jacareí to Telefônica Jacareí, Pindamonhangaba to Cia Telefônica de Pindamonhangaba, Guaratinguetá to the S.",
"M.T.A., São Vicente to Cia Telefônica do Litoral Paulista, São Carlos to Telefônica Central Paulista and Franca to Cia Telefônica de Franca; all of which inaugurated automatic exchanges.",
"It also lost licences in Caçapava to COTESP, Cubatão and Suzano to CTBC, and in other cities such as Aparecida, Atibaia, Cotia, Itanhaém and Ourinhos.=== Nationalization ===CTB strike in 1964.On November 28, 1956, during the Kubitschek government, the Brazilian Telephone Company was nationalized and officially named Companhia Telefônica Brasileira by Decree No.",
"40,439.Its headquarters were transferred to Rio de Janeiro and its capital divided between seven shareholders: six native Brazilians, each holding a single share, and the holding company Brazilian Traction Light and Power Co. Ltd, now known as Brascan - Brasil Canada Ltda, with almost a million shares.In 1962, the Brazilian Telecommunications Code was instituted by President João Goulart amid a strong nationalist campaign against the Brascan group and other foreign companies.",
"On March 31, 1962, the federal government, in contact with CTB's management since December 1961 regarding its purchase, decreed intervention in the company for a period of six months, which was extended successively until 1966.Although the Castelo Branco government expressed an interest in opening up opportunities for private capital to participate in the sector, it ended up nationalizing CTB after extensive negotiations with the Brascan group.",
"In March 1966, Embratel, which was responsible for two-thirds of the Brazilian telephone system and operated in an area containing 45% of the Brazilian population, took control of CTB."

"Kikatapula"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Kikatapula''' ( – 13 May 1832) was a leading Indigenous figure during the British invasion and colonisation of Van Diemen's Land, later known as Tasmania.",
"Also called '''Kickerterpoller''' or '''Black Tom Birch''', he spent part of his youth living with the colonists, learning English and being baptised as a Christian.",
"During the 1820s, he withdrew from British ways, and became a feared and formidable leader of Indigenous resistance during the early stages of the Black War.He was eventually caught and jailed and, with limited options, he agreed to act as a guide for a roving party of armed colonists to capture other Aboriginal Tasmanians or Palawa as they are also known.",
"Kikatapula was then ordered to accompany George Augustus Robinson on his 'friendly mission' to round up the remaining Indigenous people and exile them to Flinders Island.",
"After the successful removal of the most notable Palawa (including himself), Kikatapula died guiding Robinson during a later expedition in 1832."
],
[
"Early life",
"Kikatapula was born around the year 1800 into the Paytirami clan of the Oyster Bay people from Eastern Tasmania.",
"As a young child, he witnessed the arrival of the first European sailing vessel his clan had seen.",
"It anchored off Maria Island, with his people running away from it, not knowing what it could be.British sealers arrived in the region soon after, rapidly obtaining a reputation for brutality and the kidnapping of young Palawa women and girls to be used as their sex slaves.",
"Some of Kikatapula's female kin were abducted in this manner, and his clan destroyed the sealers' furs and huts in revenge.By the 1810s, convict bushrangers and pastoral settlers had entered the Oyster Bay region, bringing further violence and displacement upon his people.",
"Kikatapula also experienced conflict with displaced traditional enemy tribes, such as the Tyerrernotepanner while still a youth.",
"He bore a large notable scar in the middle of his forehead, inflicted from an unknown source during his harsh upbringing."
],
[
"Household of Thomas Birch",
"At some stage during his adolescence, Kikatapula became closely associated with Thomas Birch, a prominent British colonist who arrived in Hobart in 1808.Birch had significant whaling and sealing interests in eastern Tasmania, having an outpost at Grindstone Bay in the heart of Kikatapula's Paytirami homeland.",
"In late 1818, there was severe conflict between the Paytirami and Birch's men, and it seems that Kikatapula arrived or was taken to Hobart around this time, as he is recorded as being in the hospital at Hobart in early 1819.Thomas Birch and his wife Sarah, took a keen interest in and became quite fond of Kikatapula.",
"They accommodated him in their Hobart mansion, teaching him to read and write English, letting him take care of their children, and baptising him in the Christian faith.",
"He was given his patron's name of Tom Birch, but was more commonly known as Black Tom.In 1820, the Birches put Kikatapula to work on their Duck Hole Farm near Richmond and he also briefly worked as a guide for a British surveying team.",
"In 1821, Thomas Birch died and with it Kikatapula lost one of his main sources of protection in the colonial world that he was transplanted into.",
"He was subsequently treated poorly by the other workers at the farm.In late 1822, an Aboriginal man from New South Wales who had been sent to Van Diemen's Land for resisting British occupation in the Sydney region, camped at Duck Hole Farm.",
"His name was Musquito, and he was the leader of a group of refugee Palawa men and women called the \"tame mob\".",
"Musquito convinced Kikatapula to leave the British lifestyle, return to his people and join his mob."
],
[
"Insurgency against the British",
"With their combined grievances against the British, and having a gang of Aboriginal followers which at times numbered over 100 Oyster Bay, Big River and Bruny Island people; Musquito and Kikatapula came to be a significant force against the colonists.In November 1823, their \"tame mob\" were camped back at Grindstone Bay, which had been a favourite hunting ground for the Oyster Bay people but was now part of Silas Gatehouse's sheep property.",
"Musquito bartered with the stockmen there and arranged for three Aboriginal women to provide sexual services for the stockmen in exchange for food.",
"When the women were returned, a stockmen shot one of them in the back.",
"The \"tame mob\" exacted their revenge by killing two of the stockmen and severely wounding another.A punitive expedition tracked down and dispersed the mob near Swansea.",
"By December though, they managed to regroup and raid a settler property at Mayfield Bay, setting fire to the house and killing a servant.",
"They then raided farms at Cranbrook before retreating into the interior.",
"Musquito encouraged Kikatapula to leave the mob and return to Hobart, perhaps so that he could avoid further responsibility for their attacks.",
"On arriving in the town, Kikatapula was arrested and it was organised for him to be transported to the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station in the remote west of the colony.",
"However, Sarah Birch intervened on his behalf and he was released from custody.",
"He immediately fled the settlement and returned to rejoin Musquito and his mob.",
"The gang of insurgents then continued raiding farms and killing settlers throughout the southeast and central parts of the island, with Kikatapula being clearly identified as a leader.In June 1824, the gang were preparing to ransack the homestead at Lovely Banks near Colebrook, when Sarah Birch came out of the house and begged Kikatapula to desist.",
"Unaware that Sarah had moved there from Hobart, Kikatapula broke off the attack.",
"Sarah convinced him to leave the gang and join her at Lovely Banks as a farmhand.",
"Kikatapula agreed and stayed at the property.",
"Musquito and the gang continued raiding but in August 1824, Musquito was finally captured and held in custody at Old Hobart Gaol.Hearing of Musquito's incarceration, Kikatapula left Lovely Banks in October, and was almost certainly the leader of a group of 64 members of the Oyster Bay tribe who courageously entered Hobart to solicit Musquito's release.",
"Although Governor George Arthur was receptive to their entreaties and ordered some huts to be built at Kangaroo Point to accommodate them, Musquito remained incarcerated and the disappointed Oyster Bay people soon returned to the bush and continued their insurgency.After Musquito and another Aboriginal man named Black Jack were both found guilty and hanged to death in February 1825, followed by another two of Kikatapula's kinsmen being executed in 1826, Kikatapula became furious.",
"With the concurrent continued violent expansion of the British into Palawa lands, Kikatapula and other leaders of the resistance stepped up their operations resulting in the conflict becoming even more bloody, evolving into what is known as the Black War."
],
[
"Capture and release",
"Kikatapula considered his people who had died at the hands of the British as martyrs and was determined that it was his patriotic duty to inflict injury upon the white man.",
"Throughout 1825 and 1826 he led many raids against the colonists, which resulted in over a dozen settlers being killed, some of which Kikatapula had personal emnities with.By late 1826, colonial newspapers were calling not only for his capture, but for the extermination of all 'the natives' from the island, and large punitive expeditions were massacring dozens of Palawa.In November of that year, a detachment of constables and soldiers of the 40th Regimentcaught up with Kikatapula's gang at Bank Head Farm near Orielton.",
"In a morning attack, the soldiers killed 14 Palawa and captured another 10, including Kikatapula.Kikatapula was placed in Richmond Gaol, where Governor Arthur came to visit him.",
"Probably because Kikatapula spoke English quite well and had been baptised making him eligible to give evidence under oath at court, Arthur was reluctant to charge him with any crime.",
"If Kikatapula was placed on trial, he would give sworn statements of the widespread killings of Aboriginal people by the colonists which would embarrass and in turn bring legal chargesagainst those in authority.",
"Arthur therefore, to the ire of the colonial press, released Kikatapula without charge in January 1827."
],
[
"Continued conflict and re-imprisonment",
"Kikatapula returned to the war-zone and continued the fight against colonisation throughout 1827.In a skirmish with the British in April that possibly killed 30 Palawa, Kikatapula was reported as being shot dead, but this proved false and the raids continued.In November 1827, at Bryn Estyn near New Norfolk, Kikatapula was recaptured by local constables and transferred to Hobart Gaol.",
"The same problems of charging him with any crimes and his giving of disturbing evidence still existed, so the authorities held him without charge.In the meantime, the Black War continued to worsen during his incarceration, with Governor Arthur declaring that 'the natives' should be driven from settled districts altogether.",
"Bands of armed 'roving parties' were deployed to extirpate the Palawa from wherever they were found.",
"Other Palawa leaders such as Tongerlongeter, Montpelliatta and Umarrah took the fight up against the British.On 17 July 1828, just he was previously, Kikatapula was formally discharged from custody.",
"This time though, with the hostile intent of the colonists at large being overt and probably assuming he would be shot dead on the streets of Hobart, Kikatapula refused to leave the jail.",
"He petitioned Governor Arthur to send him to England, where he would be safe from colonial retribution, but instead Arthur kept him locked up.While continuing his stay in jail, Kikatapula met with George Augustus Robinson, an English builder and evangelical Christian, who would regularly minister the prisoners, with Kikatapula assisting him in church services.",
"Robinson helped Kikatapula to become conciliated with British rule and when Governor Arthur suggesed that Kikatapula become a mediator between the remaining Palawa and the colonists, Kikatapula agreed.",
"Arthur then installed the former resistance leader in the role of a guide to one of the 'roving parties' tasked with capturing his former comrades."
],
[
"'Roving party' guide",
"Kikatapula was posted to guide the 'roving party' of Gilbert Robertson, the son of a wealthy Scottish plantation owner and his black slave mistress.",
"With six soldiers of the 40th Regiment, Robertson and Kikatapula set out from Richmond in November 1828 to hunt down 'the blacks'.They soon tracked a group of Palawa near Little Swanport and after a brief skirmish, captured five people, including Umarrah who was a leading figure of the Tyerrernotepanner tribe.",
"It is perhaps not surprising that Kikatapula led the soldiers to these people who were his traditional enemies.",
"Governor Arthur was pleased with Kikatapula and this outcome, and held Umarrah in jail not as a criminal but as a prisoner of war.Kikatapula continued to be a guide for Robertson's 'roving party' for much of 1829, but being employed to track down and capture his own people became disconcerting to him.",
"He therefore became non-compliant and obstructive in guiding the soldiers to Palawa hideouts.",
"Much to the frustration of Robertson, his 'roving party' failed to capture a single Aborigine for the whole of 1829.Blame was directly placed on Kikatapula and the other Palawa guides for being duplicitous and Kikatapula was removed from the role in December 1829."
],
[
"'Friendly mission' guide",
"Kikatapula was then immediately transferred to the position of a guide for George Augustus Robinson's 'friendly mission'.",
"This mission was planned to act as conciliatory expedition to make amicable contact with Palawa in the remote western areas of Van Diemen's Land.",
"But during its progress, it developed into an expedition to herd all Palawa remaining in Tasmania out of their country and into enforced exile on the small islands of Bass Strait.Robinson and his mission set out from Hobart in January 1830 with Kikatapula and eleven other Palawa guides to act as envoys in contacting the Indigenous peoples.",
"The other eleven Palawa included Truganini, Umarrah, Wurati and Kikatapula's future wife Pagerly.",
"They first travelled with difficulty through the rugged southwest region of the island, meeting some Ninene people from around the Port Davey area.",
"They then proceeded north along the west coast toward Cape Grim, encountering more Palawa, but having Umarrah abscond along the way.",
"The Van Diemen's Land Company had appropriated a large area of land at Cape Grim and Robinson was told of the Cape Grim massacre of Aboriginal people by the company's workers.",
"The mission managed to rescue a young Palawa man named Tunnerminnerwait from the sealers located at nearby Robbins Island.In July 1830, they reached Circular Head where Robinson was informed of Governor Arthur's new proclamation of a bounty of £5 for each Palawa captured.",
"Robinson quickly changed the goal of the mission from one of friendly meetings to coercive assembly.The mission arrived in Launceston in October, where they heard of the Black Line, which was Governor Arthur's next plan to remove the Aboriginal people of Van Diemen's Land by having a line of thousands of colonists many miles long, drive the remaining Palawa southeast into the Forestier Peninsula.",
"Robinson's mission was to join the Black Line operation but instead continued northeast to try and locate Palawa there.",
"Robinson soon established a base at Swan Island to place all the Palawa he had rounded-up.",
"After staying here several weeks, Kikatapula became listless and although considered married to Pagerly, began womanising.",
"Robinson was unhappy with this behaviour and took Kikatapula with him to Hobart in January 1831 to discuss finalising the plans for the exile of all Palawa onto Flinders Island."
],
[
"Tracking down the last remaining Oyster Bay/Big River people",
"In Hobart, Governor Arthur gave permission for Robinson to take his Palawa guides and round-up the last of the Oyster Bay and Big River people still holding out in central and eastern Van Diemen's Land.",
"Robinson first took all the Palawa living and imprisoned in Hobart back to Swan Island, where he moved the site of exile firstly to Gun Carriage Island, then to Flinders Island.In June 1831, Robinson with Kikatapula and his other guides set out to collect the estimated 76 Indigenous people left in the whole of the eastern half of Tasmania.",
"Kikatapula, by this stage having resided upon the barren islands reserved for their exile, had no inclination of turning over his remaining people to the British.",
"His indifference forced Robinson to obtain the services of another Palawa man named Mannalargenna to help guide him.With Mannalargenna's aid, the mission found Umarrah and his associates in late August and finally toward the end of the year, they located the last hold-outs of the Oyster Bay / Big River people just north of Lake Echo in the central highlands.",
"This group of only 16 people which included the resistance leaders Tongerlongeter and Montpelliatta was all that was left of a population that numbered over a thousand only a few decades previously."
],
[
"Last expedition and death",
"After a brief return to Hobart with their captives, Kikatapula and the forty other Palawa were hastily shipped off to Flinders Island for their enforced exile.",
"The Black War was over and Van Diemen's Land had been almost completely ethnically cleansed of its Indigenous population.Kikatapula, however, soon rejoined with Robinson in Launceston to undertake a further expedition back to the northwest of Tasmania to gather the few remaining Palawa there and take them to Flinders Island.",
"Robinson was to be paid £1,000 for this.",
"Kikatapula, for all his work for the government over the last few years had been promised a boat, but he never saw it.In April 1832, they set out from Launceston but Kikatapula soon fell ill.",
"He continued on, but his condition worsened through April and in May Robinson had to leave him at Emu Bay.",
"Around 13 May, Kikatapula died and was buried at the back of the Van Diemen's Land Company store.",
"His was the first Christian burial at what is now Burnie.",
"His unmarked grave is located in the park between West Beach and North Terrace at the top end of Wilson Street."

"Girl soldiers"
],
[
"Introduction",
" '''Girl soldiers''' (formally '''girls associated with an armed force or armed group''', abbreviation GAAFAG, also referred to as '''female child soldiers''') have been recruited by armed forces and groups in the majority of conflicts in which child soldiers are used.",
"A wide range of rough estimates of their percentage among child soldiers is reported in literature, but scarcity of high-quality data poses problems for establishing their numbers.Many girl soldiers are abduction victims or forcibly recruited by armed groups and forces, while others join armed groups and forces for a variety of reasons ranging from survival and escape from poverty or domestic violence to ideological.",
"They face high rates of sexual violence, sexual slavery and forced marriage.",
"Although commonly depicted as exclusively used in combat service support and sexual roles, many are trained for and take direct part in hostilities, including in some cases as suicide bombers.In comparison to male child soldiers, female child soldiers are less studied, receive less support during reintegration, have low rates of participation in disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programs, and face a number of additional health, psychosocial and socio-economic effects."
],
[
"Research",
"Female child soldiers are paid less attention in scholarship and policy than male child soldiers, are at risk of invisibility, and are marginalized both during conflict and in post-conflict rehabilitation and reintegration strategies.",
"They have low rates of participation in disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programs, especially so in African conflicts, and as a result data and statistics derived from these programs face a similar under-representation of girl soldiers.",
"In general, there is a scarcity of high-quality data, and most of the research that has been published on girl soldiers is qualitative rather than quantitative.Scholarship from the 1980s and 1990s on child soldiers focused primarily on the experiences and needs of boy soldiers, and research from the era on women and girls associated with armed groups and forces focused primarily or exclusively on their role as victims in armed conflict, failed to recognize them as active participants and combatants in conflict, and accorded them little to no agency.",
"In research since, there has been more attention to the varied roles and experiences of girls and women, including recognition of being both victims and actors in conflict, and growing awareness that recognition of their agency, although often limited by circumstance, is important for reintegration.",
"However, the majority of attention on girls and women associated with armed forced and groups remains on their position as victims.===Data and statistics===Girl soldiers are present in most conflicts where child soldiers are used.",
"Due to a lack of high-quality data, it is impossible to reliably calculate the number of girl soldiers worldwide, with numbers derived from participation lists of DDR programs described by Leena Vastapuu as misleading as a result of known low participation rates of female soldiers.",
"Rough estimates of the number of girl soldiers as being between one tenth and one third, 6 to 50%, or up to 40% of all child soldiers have been given.",
"It is, however, often unclear how these estimates were arrived at.",
"===Low DDR participation===Several different causes that play a role in the low participation rates of girl soldiers in DDR programs have been given in literature, including:* Shame and social stigmas faced by girl soldiers for loss of virginity, having given birth to children of their captors, and for being ex-combatants;* Being forced, pressured or expected to stay with their forced sexual partner/\"war husband\";* Later release by armed forces and groups than their male counterparts;* Lack of awareness by girl soldiers of the existence of DDR programs, or of their eligibility to participate;* Discriminatory and exclusionary approaches to DDR, including:** DDR programs being predominantly aimed at boys and men, with insufficient planning for the existence, numbers or needs of girl soldiers;** Active discrimination and exclusion from some DDR programs, such as in the aftermath of the Mozambique civil war;** Failure to take into account the specific circumstances of release of girl soldiers, as with DDR programs requiring individual possession and surrender of a weapon for access to the program, such as the initial weapons-for-cash approach used in the aftermath of the Sierra Leone Civil War."
],
[
"Recruitment into armed forces and groups",
"The methods and context of recruitment vary.",
"Girl soldiers have been abducted or forcibly recruited by armed forces and groups in many conflicts.",
"Some are born to women within an armed group or force.",
"Others choose or are pressured to join for a variety of reasons, including having family members in the armed force or group, economical circumstances, escape from abusive homes or arranged marriages, looking for empowerment, revenge, and ideological agreement with the group or force.",
"There is significant inter-conflict variance: almost all girl soldiers were abducted or otherwise forcibly recruited in the Sierra Leone civil war and Angola civil war, whereas girl soldiers in Eritrea report comparatively higher rates of having volunteered."
],
[
"Participation and roles in conflict",
"Although the perception of girl soldiers being exclusively or near-exclusively used in combat service support and sexual roles rather than combat roles is widespread, and has in some cases been furthered by the manner in which post-conflict war crime prosecution was conducted, girl soldiers frequently serve multi-faceted, fluid roles involving aspects of multiple or all of these.",
"In many cases, they are trained for and take direct part in hostilities, and are both victims of and active agents in these conflicts.",
"In some conflicts, they have also been used as suicide bombers and human shields.The likelihood of a girl soldier to be a direct rather than exclusively indirect participant in hostilities is variable and context-dependent, with factors that play a role including age, physical strength and maturity, as well as the ideology of the armed group or force with which they are associated.",
"Research has shown a connection between girl soldiers recruited through abduction and higher rates of sexual exploitation, and between groups with Marxist ideology and lower rates of sexual exploitation."
],
[
"Rehabilitation",
"Girl soldiers face significant barriers during the reintegration process, and have lower rates of participation in DDR programs than boy soldiers.",
"In several conflicts, girl soldiers have received very little support during reintegration.===Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration===Girl soldiers have in the aftermath of various conflicts—such as the Angola civil war, the Mozambique civil war or the Sierra Leone civil war—received very little support for reintegration.",
"In Angola and Mozambique, DDR programming was planned entirely around male combatants, and girl soldiers were largely or entirely excluded from demobilization benefits.",
"In Sierra Leone, the weapons-for-cash approach to DDR initially used also largely excluded girls, and many girls had not yet been released from their captors at the time of official demobilisation."
],
[
"Impact",
"In comparison to male child soldiers, girl soldiers face a number of additional difficulties both during conflict and rehabilitation, including health, psychosocial, social and economic effects.",
"Among others, these include high rates of health complications from wartime sexual violence, sexually transmitted diseases, and complications from pregnancies, abortions and/or having given birth.",
"They also face additional social stigmas their male counterparts do not, may face higher rates of post-conflict rejection by their communities, and experience significant socio-economic marginalization."

"Despite the victory, Sobieski failed to take Kalnik and retreated to Bratslav."
],
[
"Background",
"After the victory in the battle of Bratslav, the Polish crown hetman Jan Sobieski decided to seize the territory between the Southern Bug and the Dniester.",
"On 11 September 1671 he sent 2 thousand soldiers to capture Vinnitsa, which was taken at dawn on 14 September.",
"The townspeople and Cossacks, locked in the Jesuit monastery (there were no other fortifications), put up stubborn resistance.",
"Only after 6 hours of storming, when most of the defenders were killed, the monastery fell.",
"However, 120 Cossacks, sheltered under the roof of the church, continued to fight until morning.",
"When 23 were left alive, they decided to surrender: the centurion and seven chiefs were sent to Bar, the rest were beheaded.",
"The town was destroyed, and a significant part of women and children were taken prisoner by the soldiers (by order of J. Sobieski they were later released).Sobieski's successful actions were facilitated by diversions against the Belgorod Tatars by Mikhail Khanenko and Ivan Serko and the defection of Colonel Mikhail Zelensky and Colonel Pavel Lisitsa of Bratslav to his side.The military council of the Polish command on 29 September 1671 adopted a plan of attack deep into Ukraine.",
"On 1 October Jan Sobieski went to Mogilev.",
"Having received information about his approach, O. Gogol on 3 October expressed readiness to surrender the city.",
"Having learned that Bratslav had surrendered to Khanenko, the crown hetman sent the main forces of the army there, and himself with 1200 horsemen arrived in Mogilev on 7 October.",
"Leaving the garrison there, he went to Bratslav and on 12 October held a meeting under its walls with the participation of M. Khanenko, I. Serko, M. Zelensky and P. Lisitsa, at which M. Khanenko's proposal to occupy Kalnik was accepted."

"Having learnt that Nuradin-sultan Safa-Girey was coming to Doroshenko's aid, and the expected Lithuanian army would not come to his aid, Jan Sobieski went to Bratslav, where on 1 November he announced the end of the campaign.",
"Surrendering the command to Dmitry Vishnevetsky, he left for Lviv.",
"In turn, the Polish hetman handed over the leadership of the Kiev army to the Kiev chorunge Stanislav Vizhytsky.The invasion of the Poles into Cossack Ukraine and the siege of Bratslav became a challenge for the Ottoman Empire.",
"Already in October Mehmed IV warned the king not to attack \"the Cossack power with all its districts\", demanded to withdraw troops, threatening to start a war.At the very end of the year Doroshenko received solid help from his Tatar allies: 26000 Tatars and several thousand Turks came.",
"Having received help, Doroshenko started to reclaim Podolia.",
"He started severe repressions against those who had voluntarily defected to the Poles."

"The type and only species is '''''A'''''.",
"'''''malkowskii''''', known from a handful of specimens."
],
[
"Description",
"''Alienacanthus''' holotype, '''MZ VIII Vp-45''', was referred to ''A''.",
"''malkowskii'' in 1957 by Kulczycki, (1957).",
"It consists of what were originally interpreted as \"fragments of large osseous spines\".",
"However two epitypes described by Jobbins ''et al''., (2024) that preserve more material shows that what Kulczycki, (1957) interpreted as \"spines\" are in fact fragmentary inferognathals.",
"The epitypes, '''PIMUZ A/I 5239''' and '''MCD 201''', both comprise \"a nearly complete articulated skull with all gnathal elements.\"",
"and \"left side of partially preserved skull with all gnathal elements.\"",
"respectively.",
"The combination of a short upper jaw and elongated lower jaw is a striking case of convergent evolution with halfbeaks."

[
"Etymology",
"The generic name, ''Alienacanthus'' (), derives from the Latin 'aliena' which means alien, and 'canthus' which means spine, referring to what Kulczycki, (1957) thought were spines.",
