"Kyrnychky Cave"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Kyrnychky''' () is a cave located in the Ukrainian village of Horodok, Zalishchyky Hromada, Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast.",
"It is located 700-800 meters northeast of the village (Kyrnychky tract).",
"It belongs to the Nyzhnoseretska karst area."
],
[
"Place names",
"In the speleological cadastres, the cave is named as Budenna cave.",
"Unfortunately, this name is not good, because geographical objects (which do not appear in local microtoponymy) should be named from the place names of the area where they are located or with reference to the geographical, natural and historical features on which they are located or associated with them."
],
[
"Description",
"The cave is laid in the thickness of sandy limestone, which lies more than 10 m deep.",
"Its overlying rocks have a ground floor, and the underlying rocks are Devonian sandstones.The cave is horizontal, two-story, erosive, corrosive and gravitational in genesis.",
"It is located between rocks that have broken off and slid several meters along the ravine.",
"The parent rock forms a 30-meter wide and 5-meter high grotto canopy up to 4 meters deep.It has two tiers: the first is the Ossowski Passage, and the second is the Dobrianskyi Passage.",
"Three springs flow from the cracks under the canopy.",
"One of them is a waterfall that flows from an overhanging rock from a height of 1.5 meters.",
"The sediments (fillers) of the cavity are clay and limestone fragments."
],
[
"History",
"The first exploration of the cave was conducted in 1890 by Polish archaeologist and geologist .The famous Galician ethnographer and historian attributed the tract to medieval religious places, which in chronological terms date back to the seventeenth century.In 1966, members of the Ternopil Regional Speleoclub \"Podillia\" under the leadership of V. Apostoliuk made a speleological description and mapping of the cave.",
"The cave was re-mapped and described in 2005 by Petro Ploshchanskyi, and new additions to the plan were made by Volodymyr Dobrianskyi and Petro Ploshchanskyi in 2015.In 1990, Volodymyr Dobrianskyi conducted an archaeological and speleological survey of the tract and the cave.",
"He discovered antiquities of the Trypillian culture of the Eneolithic, Early Iron Age, and Roman periods.",
"On the left side of the ravine, on the second tier, a new passage was discovered.",
"Near the passage is a massive boulder that broke away from the solid rock.",
"In its western corner, a forged human face was found, near which lapidary inscriptions in Cyrillic script and signs were studied in 2006.Several poorly preserved signs, which may relate to Turkic or Germanic runes or Sarmatian tamgas, were investigated on the left side of the waterfall in 2011.We also established the fact that a pagan sanctuary, later a Christian hermitage, may have functioned here.In 1994, as part of the ecological expedition \"Dnister\" of the organization \"Tovarystvo Leva\", together with the Carpathian Expedition of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, the natural monument was explored by V. Artyukh, who laid a small pit in the cave (where Ossowski's Passage is located), in which he found an arrowhead for a bow and fragments of 14th-century ceramics.The cave was used both for religious purposes and for defense and fortification purposes - it was a safe haven for local residents during times of military danger.",
"In particular, during the World War II, the UPA base was located here."

"Our princess is in another castle!"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The phrase originated in ''Super Mario Bros.'' (1985).",
"'''\"Thank you Mario!",
"But our princess is in another castle!\"'''",
"is a quote from the 1985 video game ''Super Mario Bros.'' It is stated by a Toad after Mario defeats what appears to be the game's main villain Bowser.",
"This informs the player that the damsel in distress Princess Peach is elsewhere, and implies that the defeated boss was a decoy and the game is continuing.",
"This repeats several times, until the real Bowser is defeated in the final stage.It became one of the most famous quotes in video game history, and an Internet meme.",
"It is referenced in subsequent ''Mario'' games, both unironically and humorously.",
"The words \"princess\" and \"castle\" are sometimes replaced for comedic effect.",
"It has been used ironically by critics to highlight the damsel in distress cliché in video games."
],
[
"Appearances",
"The quote first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros.'', when Mario fails to find Princess Peach.",
"It is repeated for each of Bowser's castles, except the final one.",
"In the 1988 ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Peach says the line upon being rescued by Mario, and admits it is a joke.In an Easter egg during the 2023 film ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'', the Toads guarding Princess Peach's Castle utter the line to Mario as a joke."
],
[
"Development",
"The line is depicted in English in the Japanese version of ''Super Mario Bros.'' This is due to the pervasive use of English in modern Japan, and due to the English alphabet saving more space on the cartridge compared to Japanese kana."
],
[
"Reception",
"Meghan Sullivan of ''IGN'' called it an unforgettable quote in video game history, and a \"super effective metaphor for life\".",
"She noted that, metaphorically speaking, there is \"always another castle\" that needs to be saved, but also stated that each life can be rewarding nonetheless, and that with enough perseverance, the princess can actually be rescued.",
"Josh Straub of ''Game Informer'' also described it as an iconic moment in games, saying that the line \"continues to haunt gamers\".",
"He cited its repetition throughout the game as evidence of the Nintendo designers' delight at \"yanking\" away the player's hope, noting its use in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' as evidence that \"the message is still the same 29 years later\".In the 2012 book ''Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America'', author Jeff Ryan highlights the use of the word \"our\" rather than \"the\" or \"your\", saying that it includes the player within the quest, and that its constant repetition turns Mario into an analog for Odysseus.",
"Gabrielle Trepaniér-Jobin, writing in ''Gaming Representation'', argued that Princess Peach's use of the line as a prank in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' was evidence that she was depicted as less dependent and subordinate than in previous games, going against the notion, shown in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', that women are indebted to those who rescue them."

"Omar van Reenen"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Omar van Reenen''' (born ) is a Namibian human rights activist who advocates for the rights of the LGBT community in Namibia.",
"Van Reenen is the co-founder of the Namibia Equal Rights Movement (Equal Namibia), a grassroots and youth-led social movement campaigning for equality for LGBT people."
],
[
"Early life",
"Van Reenen was born and raised in Narraville, a suburb of Walvis Bay in the Erongo Region of Namibia.",
"Born following the end of apartheid in Namibia, they were born into what had previously been considered to be a coloured family under apartheid laws, and is half Egyptian.",
"Van Reenen's grandfather had been a hotelier who had founded Namibia's first hotel for non-white people, which went on to become a centre for anti-apartheid resistance during the South West Africa period, during which time Namibia was a territory of South Africa.Van Reenen attended Duinesig High School in Walvis Bay.",
"Between 2014 and 2015, they served as the junior mayor of Walvis Bay, representing the city's children and young people.",
"After serving as the Namibian ambassador at the Genius Olympiad, a global science event in which students present solutions to environmental problems, they were offered a scholarship to study biochemistry and political science at the State University of New York at Oswego in the United States.",
"During their time there, they became the first international student to serve as president of the university's student government.Van Reenen is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.",
"They regularly perform at Drag Night Namibia, a regular LGBT performance night held in a club in Windhoek."
],
[
"Activism",
"Van Reenen has likened legal discrimination against LGBT people in Namibia to discrimination against non-white people that occurred under apartheid.",
"They have frequently criticised the Government of Namibia for permitting what they consider to be \"state-sanctioned homophobia\".",
"Van Reenen considers the Constitution of Namibia to enshrine rights for LGBT people within article eight, which guarantees respect for all Namibians, regardless of sex or gender, and has accused politicians of eroding the country's status as a constitutional democracy by ignoring this and article three, which prohibits apartheid ideology.",
"In 2023, Van Reenen publicly criticised the Popular Democratic Movement and the All People's Party for advocating for, or remaining silent about, proposed homophobic laws, despite having campaigned during the 2019 general election as \"champions\" of the LGBT community.",
"This followed comments by the APP's general secretary, Vincent Kanyetu, who called same-sex marriage \"taboo\" and \"an abomination\".Van Reenen has also criticised the Namibian media for \"actively contributing to hate, violence and discrimination\", and in 2023 called on the then-President of Namibia, Hage Geingob, to intervene to prevent further rises in homophobia and anti-LGBT rhetoric.",
"Van Reenen criticised Geingob's government for ignoring advice from the Law Reform and Development Commission to repeal Namibia's colonial anti-sodomy law which criminalised consensual sexual activity between men, and also for ignoring the Ombudsman's proposed Hate Speech Bill.Van Reenen has also criticised the role of church leaders in spreading homophobia in Namibia, following an attack on a transgender woman in Walvis Bay in 2024.Van Reenen has called for the decolonialisation of Namibian ideas and views about LGBT people.",
"They have criticised politicians who have stated that homosexuality is a Western import, and instead considers homophobia in Namibia to stem from Western influence during the colonial period.=== Equal Namibia ===Following his return to Namibia, van Reenen became a noted LGBT rights activist in the country.",
"In March 2021, they co-founded Equal Namibia in response to the plight of Namibian citizen Phillip Lühl and his Mexican husband, Guillermo Delgado, whose daughters Paula and Maya, who were born via a surrogate in South Africa, had been denied Namibian citizenship and therefore prohibited from entering the country.",
"In May 2021, Paula and Maya were issued travel documents, allowing them to enter Namibia, and in October 2021, they were both granted Namibian citizenship.Van Reenen has likened LGBT activism to resistance against apartheid, and through Equal Namibia campaigns for constitutional rights and protections for LGBT Namibians, often participating in court cases, including before the Supreme Court of Namibia.",
"Following their support of the #BringPaulaAndMayaHome campaign, van Reenen supported two couples appealing for the Supreme Court to recognise same-sex marriages that occurred abroad when one of the partners is born outside of Namibia.",
"On 16 May 2023, the Supreme Court recognised such partnerships when they had occurred outside of the country, though this was followed by an increase in what van Reenen described as homophobia from politicians and church leaders against the ruling, with same sex marriage remaining illegal within Namibia itself.",
"Van Reenen subsequently shared safety advice for LGBT Namibians, including calling for them to delete social media apps such as Grindr due to concerns about anti-LGBT campaigners using such apps to harass and blackmail gay Namibians.Through Equal Namibia, van Reenen has also organised events throughout the country to mark Pride Month.",
"In December 2021, they commemorated Namibia's first LGBT historic landmark, a rainbow sidewalk outside of the Namibia Breweries building in central Windhoek.",
"They have also promoted the rights and plights of LGBT people in Namibia abroad, including at Berlin Pride in 2022."

"Decision time"
],
[
"Introduction",
"In temporal databases, '''decision time''' is the time when a decision was made about a fact stored in a database.",
"It is used to keep a history of decisions about valid times.In a database table, the start and end time of the decision time interval can be represented by adding two table columns.",
"This interval is closed in the lower bound, and open at the upper bound ).",
"When a decision has not been replaced, the end time of the decision is unknown, and it can thus be considered valid \"until changed\" or infinite (∞).Valid time and decision time are ways of modeling data, and is not applicable for all types of data, and transaction time is hence the most used temporal functionality.",
"The concept of decision time can for examlple be used in bitemporal databases (together with valid time instead of transaction time), or in tritemporal databases."
],
[
"History",
"The term ''decision time'' was coined by Mario Nascimento and Margaret Eich (1995).Although the ISO SQL standard has included support for \"application-time period tables\" (valid time tables) and \"system-versioned tables\" (transaction tables) since SQL:2011, it does however not include spesific clauses for decision time."
],
[
"Comparison with valid time and transaction time",
"In a tritemporal database, valid times are a history of valid time periods for facts stored in the database.",
"The decision times are a history of decisions about validity times, and transaction times are again a history of decision times.",
"Thus, transaction times are a history of meta-histories (\"histories of histories\").Decision time is unconstrained in relationship to valid time, but it must be earlier than the transaction time.",
"For example, the decision time can not be assigned a date in the future."
],
[
"Example",
"The following is a list of real events that occurred between the 1964 and 1976 United States presidential elections:DateDecision makerReal world event1964-11-03Electoral CollegeElection of 19641968-11-05Electoral CollegeElection of 19681972-11-07Electoral CollegeElection of 19721973-10-10Spiro AgnewAgnew resigns1973-10-12Richard NixonNixon nominates Ford1973-12-06CongressCongress confirms Ford1974-08-09Richard NixonNixon resigns1974-08-20Gerald FordFord nominates Rockefeller1974-12-19CongressCongress confirms Rockefeller1976-11-02Electoral CollegeElection of 1976In this example, a constant 7-day delay is assumed between the decision time and the transaction time when the data is committed to the database.",

],
[
"Career",
"===International development (1993–2008)===Shongwe began working for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in South Africa in 1993.Her work for UNDP involved coordinating national programmes on the response to HIV/AIDS, addressing poverty, and evaluating inequality and gender issues.",
"In 2001, she became the policy advisor for Southern Africa on the HIV/AIDS challenges in Africa.",
"Presenting a paper, ''Drawing Linkages between Gender, Poverty and HIV/AIDS'', in 2003 at a meeting on gender mainstreaming and poverty reduction strategies held in Pretoria, Shongwe stated that research had shown that poverty made women and girls between the ages of 19 and 20 six times more likely than similarly aged men to become infected with HIV because of their dependence on engaging in the sex trade or providing sexual favours for their livelihoods.",
"She continued that the loss of workers, either because they were infected by HIV/AIDS or were engaged in care giving, had heightened food shortages and lowered family incomes, while decreasing the ability of governments to meet developmental goals.",
"Working under regional efforts to create solutions for the AIDS epidemic, Shongwe was one of the editors for the book, ''Turning a Crisis into an Opportunity: Strategies for Scaling up the National Response to the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Lesotho'' (2004).",
"Professor Courtenay Sprague described it as a manual to prevent people who are uninfected from becoming infected and to assure that those who have the virus receive proper care and treatment.",
"Sprague lauded the innovations the book proposed and the fact that it was written by Africans, but was critical of its lack of discussion on how to finance treatment and implement strategies, as people in the country could not normally afford the costs involved, and questioned whether national laws and policies were in-line with the proposed goals.===Games developer (2008–present)===In 2005, Shongwe worried about the amount of time her son was spending playing video games.",
"She was also concerned at the negative messaging about Africa in Western media and the lack of positive platforms for youth to learn about the continent.",
"When she realised her son was learning history while playing the game ''Civilization'', Shongwe decided that she wanted to try to develop video games as an educational tool.",
"Her mother was confused as to why she wanted to leave stable employment with the United Nations, but Shongwe felt that it would allow her to make a positive change without having to deal with all the bureaucracy involved in international development work.",
"It took her three years to exit the UNDP and establish her company Afroes, (a combination of the words African and Heroes and Heroines).",
"Lack of access in Africa to computers, the internet or video game consoles led Shongwe into developing games for mobile phones, which were widely used.",
"She spent 2008 researching how to develop a business model for making high-quality yet affordable games for mobile phones.",
"She studied the video gaming industry in South Africa and Kenya and attended gaming conferences in New York.",
"She furthered her studies at the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business, earning a certificate in social innovation and attended Harvard University to study social entrepreneurship and Jones International University of Centennial, Colorado to study management.",
"Shongwe hired recent university graduates in 2009, to help her design a business plan and began to engage with producers to commission games.",
"Partnerships with organisations including the Ford Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation, Nokia, and Vodafone, allowed games to be developed which could be offered as free downloads to consumers.",
"She worked with the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund Champions for Children to produce the game ''Champ Chase'', which was launched to coincide with the 2010 FIFA World Cup championship.",
"''Champ Chase''′s message was to raise awareness of sexual predation against children and promoted the use of helpline numbers.",
"The game focused on players saving children from potentially harmful people and situations.",
"The second game she developed, with gamer Mxolisi Sakhile Xaba, was ''Teka Champs''.",
"Using information she learned from speaking with African footballers, the game allowed children to play soccer in various African townships with skill sets that real players had developed.",
"Her work to use games as a focus on human rights and social change led Shongwe to become one of three African finalists in the Cartier Women's Initiative Awards in 2010.The success of these first games allowed her to partner with UN Women's Southern Africa & Indian Ocean Islands division to create a game on preventing gender-based violence.",
"Working again with Xaba, Afroes produced ''Moraba'' in 2011, which allowed players to progress in the game by completing quizzes designed to improve awareness of sexual health and attitudes about sexual violence.",
"The questions were created to make players evaluate their values and attitudes about sexual consent, and what constitutes abuse and rape.The success of these games led Shongwe to open a second office in Nairobi.",
"Working with Nathan Masyuko, Wesley Kirinya, and artist Chief Nyamweya, in 2011 Afroes developed ''Haki 1: Shield and Defend'', (Haki means \"justice\" in Swahili), which focuses on environmental rights and allows players to protect trees from illegal loggers.",
"Two games developed by Afroes, ''Haki 1'' and ''Moraba'' won their categories, respectively Go Green and Power 2 Women, at the World Summit Youth Awards held in Montreal, Canada, in 2012.That year, ''Moraba'' was selected as the winner in the category of Social Responsibility and Development for London's Meffy Awards, presented by the Mobile Entertainment Forum.",
"Shongwe was selected as one of the ten laureates who received the 2012 Netexplo Award, given by the Netexplo Observatory, Paris, and she was one of three African finalists at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, for the Mobile Premier Awards given by Apps Circus.",
"Also that year, ''Haki 2: Chaguo Ni Lako'' (Swahili for \"the choice is yours\") was developed in response to an upcoming election.",
"The 2008 elections in Kenya had triggered social unrest and rioting and the game presented alternatives to civic engagement by presenting puzzles and quizzes about ethics, human rights, and leadership aimed at educating voters to resolve conflicts through peaceful interactions.",
"In 2013, Shongwe was one of two Africans, the other was Njideka Harry of Nigeria, who were distinguished as Social Entrepreneurs of the Year by the Schwab Foundation and World Economics Forum.",
"''Haki 2'' received the 2015 PeaceApp Award from the UNDP and United Nations Alliance of Civilizations initiative which recognises digital games that promote conflict resolution and peacebuilding.",
"Shongwe wanted to develop a new game which taught financial literacy.",
"Working with Digital Jobs Africa, in 2015 she developed ''Job Hunt'', a role-play game, which allows players to engage as an online worker.",
"Players compete for positions, earn income for tasks completed on time, and learn skills, such as managing resources.",
"The game was launched in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.",
"Scholars such as Jolene Fisher have analysed the use of games for civic learning.",
"Of ''Moraba'', Fisher said that it focused on gender inequality and looked at human and legal rights for both men and women, rather than only for women, but that it did not discuss systemic biases in power dynamics.",
"Looking at the ''Haki'' series, Fisher lauded the message fostered by the games that Kenya's salvation comes from within Kenya, rather than from rescue by outsiders.",
"In evaluating ''Haki 2'', she stated that players who engaged in sessions of the game at school and with organisations during Lagos Social Media Week reported enjoying the game and learning information from playing that they did not previously know.",
"Further analysis of responses, however, showed that players were more active in the puzzle solving portions of the game than in quizzes, which contained the educational content.",
"Despite these shortcomings, Fisher noted that the game served as a \"catalyst for generating conversations\" about contentious issues in society in various community outreach projects.===International development (2016–present)===In 2016, Shongwe returned to the United Nations and became the UN Women representative, in the South Africa Multi-Country Office (SAMCO).",
"Her office was headquartered in South Africa and her responsibility included implementing programmes to promote women's empowerment and equality throughout Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland, (now Eswatini).",
"Among the issues that she prioritised were gender-based violence and inequalities in power relationships.",
"In 2017, she was named one of the inaugural Pond's-Vital Voices fellows, in a new initiative created between the skincare brand and the women's empowerment organisation to help leaders network and improve their global outreach in improving environmental, social, and human rights change.",
"At the Higher Education Aids National Youth Conference that year, she addressed the problem of trading sex for marks on university campuses.",
"She noted the links between the cost of obtaining an education and HIV infections, stating that students who struggled to pay for their studies were often the target of instructors who used their vulnerability to demand sex, making students more prone to contract the virus.",
"Students at the conference suggested creation of an app that would allow them to communicate about instructors who abused their power.",
"Shongwe agreed to analyse the suggestion, but cautioned that if a system was implemented, verification processes would need to be put in place.",
"Other issues she worked on were building leadership skills for women, the development of women-owned businesses, and the reduction of inequalities and sexual harassment in the workplace.",
"Of particular interest were changes to government programmes aimed at growing large businesses, as they excluded small and micro-enterprises engaged in by women entrepreneurs.",
"Shongwe stressed that large businesses have a finite ability to employ workers based on company needs, but economies could be positively changed by assisting hundreds of thousands of firms that employ only one person.",
"She also focused on access to health and social services, particularly those that dealt with reproductive health including unintentional pregnancy, childhood marriage, and HIV prevention.In 2022, Shongwe became the regional director for East and South Africa of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).",
"She partnered with Jacqueline Nzisabira, the Regional Policy Advisor for UN Women in Eastern and Southern Africa in 2023, in an initiative to educate women about local resources available for them to fund programmes and use resources to protect the health of their local communities.",
"They noted that traditional norms and practices, as well as power inequalities, often left women out of policy development strategies and focused on biomedical solutions.",
"The programme aimed to support grassroots activists in tailoring responses to the HIV crisis to local conditions.",
"Shongwe stated that poverty, inter-generational relationships, sex work, and violence cause higher infection rates for women, but also stressed that men were less likely to be tested or treated, and if they sought treatment were less likely to continue with long-term care.",
"She urged continued diligence in the region, stating at the end of 2023 that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe were on the path towards meeting the goal of eliminating AIDS by 2030 because 95 percent of those living with HIV were in treatment and had reached the stage where the virus could no longer be transmitted."

"In 1988, she received a scholarship from the German Literature Fund.In her numerous publications, often in guidebook style, she deals with the topics of witches, tarot, horoscope interpretation, goddesses, female shamanism and gives instructions on how to create magical and meditative rituals for life stages and for women's everyday lives.",
"She has also organised workshops and performances on these topics.",
"Ariane Barth wrote about Francia's 1986 book ''Moon - Dance - Magic'' in ''Spiegel'': \"Anyone who reads her book about her creation of thirteen moon festivals will easily be seduced by the archaic power of this woman, seduced into a strange world in which modern intellectuality and magical ideas get on well together.\"",

"Gargantua bar attack"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Gargantua bar attack''' was a shooting and arson-attack that occurred at the Gargantua, a nightclub bar located on rue Beaubien in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on January 21, 1975, killing 13 individuals, including the manager.",
"The Gargantua, which had been known for being a meeting place for underworld figures, was previously the scene of a double-shooting killing of two criminals in October 1974.During the attack, the Gargantua's manager, believed to having been a witness to the preceding shooting, was shot and killed.",
"The remaining 12 individuals succumbed to asphyxiation after being herded into a padlocked closet shortly before the establishment was set on fire.",
"Three days following the attack, criminal Richard Blass, the primary suspect, was shot and killed by police."
],
[
"Background",
"Located on rue Beaubien in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Gargantua was a second-floor nightclub bar located above a dry cleaning establishment, and had been well known as a meeting place for underworld figures.On October 30, 1974, two armed men entered the Gargantua and fatally shot 30-year-old Raymond Laurin and 28-year-old Roger Levesque.",
"One week prior to the shooting, suspects Richard Blass and his accomplice Roger Roussel had escaped from the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul penitentiary, which Blass had been serving a 15-year sentence for attempted murder and armed robbery.",
"The victims, Laurin and Levesque, had a prior criminal association with the suspects, and were implicated in a crime together in 1969.Roussel would later be recaptured."
],
[
"Attack",
"On January 21, 1975, two individuals entered the Gargantua and held 13 individuals, ten men and three women, at gunpoint.",
"According to a police reconstruction conducted shortly after the attack, the perpetrators fatally shot 43-year-old Rejean Fortin, the Gargantua's manager and a former Montreal police officer.",
"Additionally, 29-year-old customer Pierre Lamarche was shot in the stomach, wounding him.",
"The remaining victims, along with Fortin's body and the injured Lamarche, were herded into a storage closet measuring 6 by 8 feet.",
"The closet door was padlocked and barricaded by pushing a jukebox against it, and the perpetrators set fire to the establishment.The bodies of the victims were discovered by firemen at the scene after responding to a report of a fire at the Gargantua shortly past midnight.",
"Initially under the impression that the Gargantua was empty, firemen found the bodies of the 13 victims in the closet.",
"Lamarche and the remaining 11 victims succumbed to asphyxiation.",
"Both inspectors and firefighters indicated the fire appearing to have been deliberately set near the outside of the closet door."

[
"Investigation and legal proceedings",
"Immediately following the attack, authorities began investigating its potential connection to the October 30, 1974 shooting of Laurin and Levesque.",
"Despite lacking concrete evidence, investigators suspected the involvement of Blass in the attack, suspecting his motive being to target Fortin as a witness to the earlier shooting, with the other victims being killed to eliminate witnesses to Fortin's shooting.",
"The search for Blass, who became the prime suspect in the attack, intensified, with a coroner's warrant being issued for his arrest.In the early hours of January 24, 1975, three days after the attack, authorities shot and killed Blass in Val-David, located in the Laurentian Mountains.",
"Acting on a tip, they surrounded a chalet around 4:30 am, and Blass was reportedly shot after responding to police orders with gunfire, though this has been disputed several decades later.",
"Authorities additionally apprehended a man and two women at the scene, and ruled out the suspected motive of eliminating witnesses.In early February, a reliable source testified and indicated involvement of more than one gunman in the attack.",
"On February 5, 1975, special coroner Cyrille Delâge held 28-year-old Fernand Beaudet criminally responsible for the attack.",
"Beaudet, according to a wiretapped conversation, admitted his involvement to his sister.",
"Blass was also implicated involvement according to additional conversations presented at the inquest, resulting in him also being held responsible for the attack.",
"During the inquest, Beaudet was sentenced to 30 days in jail for contempt of court after refusing to testify, shouting \"I mourn the death of Richard Blass!",
"Long live Richard Blass!\"",
"The proceeding marked the first time wiretraps were accepted as evidence in a Canadian coroner's inquest.",
"On March 13, 1975, murder charges against Beaudet were dropped due to lack of evidence, and he was never being brought to trial.",
"During the preliminary hearing, Beaudet's girlfriend testified, admitting to lying during the coroner's inquest and to the police.",
"Additionally, the telephone conversation between Beaudet and his sister, taking place hours after the attack, concluded that he had made no mention of the attack."

"Ținutul Sării revolt"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Ținutul Sării revolt''' represented an armed rebellion of the Székelys from the Praid-Sovata, located in the salt mining area near the town of Târgu Mureș (area that corresponds to the Hungarian ethnographic area of Sóvidék (Ținutul Sării; \"Salt Country\").",
"This took place between 29 March–6 April 1919 in an area controlled by the Romanian Army on behalf of the Governing Council, during the period of assurance by the Romanian troops, from a military point of view, of the Transylvanian demarcation line.The rebellion was triggered as a result of a misinterpretation of an official information transmitted during the period of dysfunction associated with the taking the oath of allegiance to the Romanian state.",
"In addition, the rioters erroneously relied on the military support of the \"Secuian Division\", support that it was unable to provide.The population of the area did not react unitedly, only a small number of villages rose up against the existing order, and they could secure, according to Szekeres Lukács Sándor, only a number of about 200 armed men.",
"After the initial stage, in which the local gendarmes were overwhelmed, the intervention of the regular troops of the Romania restored the initial situation.The final balance of events indicated as an effect of the rebellion a total of 7 direct deaths (4 Szekler insurgents and 3 Romanian gendarmes) and 12 indirect deaths (all being Szekler civilians).",
"In tempering the excesses of the revolt, but also later, in normalizing the lives of the inhabitants of the area, he was played by the pastor reformed Ferenc Laár of the reformed church of Praid."
],
[
"Context",
"Târnavei Mici in the area Praid===Geographic===Ținutul Sării (\"Salt Country\"; ) corresponds to some localities in the Sărățeni-Sovata-Praid-Corund Commune area, Corundum.",
"In its center is the locality Ocna de Sus.",
"The area mainly corresponds to the valley of the Corund river and the upper valley of the Târnava Mici, being preferably located in the Praid-Sovata depression.===Military and Political===In accordance with the Belgrade military convention of November 13, 1918, Székely Land entered the occupation zone of the Romanian Army.",
"During the advance of the Romanian troops, the National Councils from Miercurea Ciuc (Csík County) and Odorheiu Secuiesc (Udvarhely County) did not plan or prepare any armed resistance, prohibiting this very thing.",
"On December 15, the alignment provided as the demarcation line was reached.",
"Along with the Romanian soldiers, gendarmes were also sent to the area (located in Sovata and Praid in number of 18).Although, in accordance with the the armistice provisions, the Hungarian civil administration was supposed to manage the territory taken over by the Romanian troops, in January 1919 the Governing Council, located in Sibiu, began to take over state power, regarding the territories inhabited by the Székelys as part of the Romanian state.",
"There was in January 1919 in Odorheiu Secuiesc an attempt to establish a Secuian Republic, which however failed.The military occupation was at the same time accompanied by the collection of weapons from the population, which was forced to surrender them.",
"For example, in the first half of January, the gendarmes from Praid went to Corund for this, from house to house.",
"However, not all weapons were collected, some of them being hidden by the local people.According to Dr. Szekeres Lukács Sándor, alongside requisitions however, there were also thefts or kidnappings by the Romanian troops, as well as punishments ordered by the military authorities in the form of beatings (some even followed by deaths), applied to some members of the local population.",
"These documents added to the unpleasant memories which, according to the same author, had been left by the Romanian troops on the spot, during the offensive of the Romanian Army in Transylvania in 1916."
],
[
"Prelude",
"Although the people had been repeatedly asked to surrender their weapons, a number of members of the population did not want to surrender them.",
"They hoped for a national war that would drive out the Romanian troops, considered by the Szeklers as invaders.",
"On the other hand, the crossing of the second demarcation line in January 1919 by the Romanian Army determined a situation that could become very complicated, and on , the Hungarian Council of Ministers decided for the first time that no more had another solution than armed resistance.An appropriate moment to take action seemed to arise in the spring of 1919, when the idea of a local rebellion, coordinated with an attack by the troops of the \"Szekler Division\" began to be floated.",
"The coordinators of such a revolt, located in Târgu Mureș, would have relied on the military support of the \"Secuian Division\", support that it was not able to provide.",
"As such, couriers were sent from the large unit to Târgu Mureș to communicate and clarify this.In March 1919, the sabotages multiplied, so that the Romanian military officials became more intransigent.",
"Also, Hungarian-language newspapers and magazines in Transylvania became increasingly difficult to obtain, while during the same period, postal items from Hungary were simply burned in the railway station at Cluj.",
"As a consequence of the lack of accurate information, rumors multiplied, the most frequent theme of which was an alleged offensive by the Hungarian army.",
"There were also rumors predicting a withdrawal of the Romanian troops.",
"Among those who had effectively hidden their weapons was a group of 40 members led by one Andor Kovács, and his group was alerted by rumors that the Hungarian army would drive the troops away Romanian.Against this background, a telegram sent on to the station Dămieni, in which it was stated that the Romanian authorities no longer require the oath to the Romanian state from the railway workers railways by the Hungarian state, was interpreted as proof of the fact that the occupation of the Romanian troops was to end."
],
[
"Revolt",
"===March 29–30===That same day, Szekler railway workers celebrated the news at the pub, announcing that Hungarian troops were coming.",
"In the afternoon, a Romanian gendarme coming from Miercurea Nirajului carrying horses, was attacked near Eremitu by Szeklers and wounded with a knife.",
"The injured person was immediately taken to the doctor.",
"At the same time, the news brought by the telegram spread rapidly in the upper valley of the Niraj.On Nirajului Wednesday, Andor Kovács's group attacked the local gendarme station, they were captured and locked in a cellar.",
"Couriers were later sent to the Nirajul Mare and Nirajul Mic valleys, to request the villagers to join the insurgency.",
"They were given both the erroneous information that there is hope that the \"Secuian Division\" will attack to free the area from Romanian troops, as well as the information about the wounded Romanian gendarme, whose weapon the rebels had taken.",
"''In the oral history of the places, there is also the version of mysterious couriers from Cluj who were supposed to arrive in the area, to inform the locals that the action of the \"Secuiesti Division\" had been countermanded.",
"''The residents of the area did not react unitedly.",
"Those from Mătrici headed towards Târgu Mureș, but seeing that those from Hodoșa did not join them, they returned to their homes.",
"The villagers from Mărculeni and Candu, along with others, however, headed for the Sovata area.===March 31===On 31 March at Eremitu, rioters stopped the local train coming from Praid, occupying the railway and shooting from the forest with guns.",
"A group of about 100 rebels boarded the train and went to Sovata, where it arrived around 12 o'clock.",
"Here, following a fight in which one of the Romanian gendarmes was killed and more many were injured, the group occupied the local gendarme post.",
"The rebels later took control of the post office and the railway station, also capturing the 25 rifles found in the local weapons depot.After occupying the public buildings in Sovata, reinforcements came to the Szeklers from Sărățeni and a process of organizing the rebellion in the surrounding territory began.",
"A detachment was sent to Praid, including men from Kovács Andor's group, with their weapons hidden in three carts.",
"The group arrived in the locality around 4-5 pm and with the help of the residents managed to disarm the 12 Romanian gendarmes there in a few minutes.",
"The only one who escaped was the lieutenant who commanded them, he fled through the Catholic cemetery.",
"Later, however, he too was captured while moving towards Corund and beaten until he became unconscious, being brought back to Praid, where the villagers were already organizing for defense.",
"A patrol was organized to catch the Romanian soldiers who might have passed through the village.George Kovats, a rebel leader from Eremitu, proposed organizing a detachment to go to Târgu Mureș.",
"From Praid, messengers went on horseback to the surrounding villages to raise them to battle, but without success, due to the lack of weapons.",
"At the same time, people from the surrounding villages who had come to Praid began to return to their homes.At that stage of the rebellion, the insurgents of Praid drew several conclusions, namely that: 1) the revolt covers only a few villages, 2) the peace of the inhabitants of Praid has been disturbed by foreigners, 3) a punitive expedition will surely follow, from Romanian troops.",
"As such, the Romanian gendarmes already captured were to be kept as hostages.",
"Also, armed guards were sent on the roads leading to Praid, so that foreign troops could not enter the village during the night.Several Romanian gendarmes who were usually stationed in Praid, but had gone to Corund during the events mentioned above, wanted to return to the locality.",
"Being summoned by the Szekler guards defending the Pride to stop, they retaliated with their weapons.",
"As a result, three of the defenders were wounded in the battle, and they died during the following morning of April 1.===April 1===The death of the three own guards aroused the anger of the population of Praid, who wanted to execute the already captured Romanian gendarmes in the village square.",
"Only the vigorous action of the pastor Ferenc Laár of the reformed church of Praid, prevented the execution of Romanian gendarmes held hostage.",
"For fear that the attack of the Romanian troops would disturb the funeral ceremony, the three were buried on the same day.",
"The funeral was attended by a large part of the local population, in the context of a general atmosphere of indignation and overexcitement.On the same day, between Atid and Atia a new incident increased the number of victims.",
"At Atid, a former Szekler soldier returned from Russia recognized a former comrade in arms between 2 Romanian gendarmes who had been sent as couriers to Praid.",
"Thus began a fight, as a result of which the two gendarmes were disarmed.",
"As they started to escape towards Atia, those gendarmes were surrounded by the mob and lynched.In the meantime, news began to arrive that large numbers of Romanian troops were to arrive in the area, and it began to emerge that the Hungarian troops would not act concretely to liberate the territory in question.",
"For the intellectuals in the area who had been able to use the telephone to make contact with the neighboring towns, it became obvious that the size of the revolt was of small amplitude and that it was taking place only in a few villages, being initiated as a result of some erroneous information.",
"As such, they tried to temper the zeal of the insurgents and take care of the security of the detained Romanian gendarmes."
],
[
"Reaction of the Romanian army",
"===April 2===About 200 soldiers and 30 gendarmes were sent to the Niraj valley and to the Praid-Sovata depression.",
"There were clashes with the insurgents in Dămieni and Eremitu, resulting in injuries.",
"Also, a battalion previously sent to Odorhei as a result of existing concern over the possibility of a Bolshevik rebellion was redirected to the depression.",
"There was no other armed resistance, so upon arrival, the soldiers of the battalion had only the task of finding out who the culprits were for what happened, finding them and catching them to be handed over to the authorities.With this aim, according to Szekeres Lukács Sándor, the Romanian units adopted intimidation tactics, marching with the whole force and artillery through the villages.",
"Having done this at Corund, by order of the commanding officer with the rank of Colonel, artillery was placed in positions on the slopes of Calonda, with the aim of threatening Corund.",
"Dressed in robes, parish priest Mihály Hadnagy together with teacher Knopp Vencel set out to persuade the officers of the unit to \"save the village\", while the commanding officer demanded the surrender of the culprits.",
"Many of the insurgents, however, in the following days fled, either hiding armed in the forests, or taking advantage of the winter conditions in another way to hide.",
"A delegation consisting of Catholic priest Béla Kicsid from Praid, pastor calvin Ferenc Laár, school principal Mihály Kovács and teacher György Kakucs, prepared to start the steps in order to mitigate the predictable harshness of the intervention of the Romanian troops.",
"The delegation waited until 7 pm, the Romanian troops arriving in Praid village at night.===April 3–6===On April 3, the arrests began, under the command of a lieutenant-colonel, being detained and interrogated in the gendarmerie premises (according to Szekeres Lukács Sándor including the use of violent methods, which led to the death of 4 people), 80 inhabitants of Praid.",
"In the following days, all those detained from the surrounding localities (Matrici, Sovata, Ocna de Sus, Corund) were also directed to Praid.In the morning of April 6, one of the main defendants, Gagyi Lázár, who had tried to mobilize the residents of Şiklod to revolt, managed to escape.",
"On the same day, the execution of Dénes Farkas, guilty of the shooting wounding of the Romanian lieutenant Donetea on March 31 in Praid, was announced.",
"In order to witness this, the population was brought to the town square of Praid.",
"After the reading of the sentence and its motivation, the convict, the soldiers and the population went to the Catholic cemetery, where Dénes Farkas was executed by shooting.",
"Pál G. Dénes from Sovata was also sentenced to death.Other arrests related to the events in the Sovata-Praid Depression were made in the territory of Odorhei County, including in his town of residence, until .",
"These defendants were investigated at Odorheiu Secuiesc.",
"In Dămieni, between 30 and 40 people were punished with beatings for participating in the riot.",
"5 more death sentences were also handed down for what happened in Atid."
],
[
"Epilogue",
"At Praid, the units of the Romanian army remained for 3 weeks.",
"There were prison sentences during that period.",
"Most of those involved in the rebellion, however they hid, some of the insurgents staying for a long time in the forests or other parts (even a year and a half, or up to 2–3 years) until the declaration of an amnesty.",
"29 arrested were in captivity for several months, during the detention 2 of those arrested died.Under the threat of harsh punishments, including collective ones, the population was announced to surrender all the weapons and ammunition of war, remaining from the former Austro-Hungarian army.The final balance of the events traced in the archives indicates a total of 1,000 participants in the events.",
"Of this total, 200 were the number of armed Szeklers.",
"The direct victims were represented by 4 Szekler civilians and 3 Romanian gendarmes, the total of indirect victims later rising to 12, all being Szekler civilians."

[
"Introduction",
"'''''Calenia bullatinoides''''' is a foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen species in the family Gomphillaceae.",
"It was discovered in New South Wales, Australia, and has been observed in other locations including Costa Rica, Cocos Island, and Kenya.",
"The thallus of this species forms dispersed or sometimes confluent patches that are slightly inflated due to a strong encrustation with calcium oxalate crystals.",
"These patches are whitish to silvery grey, with a smooth to irregularly rough and wrinkled surface texture and a narrow, crystal-free, greenish margin."
],
[
"Description",
"The thallus of ''Calenia bullatinoides'' is marked by a slight inflation, a feature caused by the accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals, and for its smooth to irregularly surface.",
"Apothecia (fruiting bodies) are centrally located on each thallus patch, emerging from the thallus and are rounded with a colour ranging from yellowish grey to yellowish brown.",
"The margin of the apothecia is thin yet prominent, and the is reduced, surrounded by a thick abundant in algal cells.",
"The of the lichen is (a spherical green alga).Paraphyses within the hymenium are richly branched and anastomosing, leading to ellipsoid-ovoid asci.",
"Ascospores are cylindrical to oblong-ellipsoid, submuriform to , and colourless, with approximately 15 transverse and 1–3 longitudinal septa (internal partitions) per segment., specialised asexual spore-producing organs formed on the crystalline thallus patches, are short, setiform (bristle-like), and have an apically darkened tip.",
"This species is differentiated by its thallus morphology, the unique characteristic of having 2–4 submuriform to muriform ascospores per ascus, and its short, apically darkened hyphophores."
],
[
"Similar species",
"''Calenia bullatinoides'' is closely related to ''Calenia solorinoides'' but can be distinguished by its thallus morphology, apothecial margin presence, and multi-spored asci.",
"While ''C.",
"submuralis'' also has more than one submuriform ascospore per ascus, its ascospores are smaller.",
"Other species such as ''Gyalectidium ciliatum'' and ''Bullatina aspidota'' show superficial similarities but differ significantly in their hyphophores, asci, and thallus morphology."
],
[
"Habitat and distribution",
"Originally described from New South Wales, the lichen has also been recorded from Costa Rica and Cocos Island.",

"Atala Apodaca Anaya"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Atala Apodaca Anaya''' (9 April 1884, Tapalpa — 31 August 1977, Guadalajara) was a Mexican teacher, feminist and revolutionary.",
"She is considered a feminist pioneer in Mexico because she campaigned for the active role of women in society, in politics and for broad popular education as a means of emancipation and social change."
],
[
"Life",
"Apodaca was one of four children of Julia Anaya and Praxedis Apodaca.",
"The family belonged to the rural working class.",
"She went to the ''Liceo de Niñas'' in the state of Jalisco until 1900.She then attended grammar school and trained as a teacher at the ''Escuela Normal para Señoritas'', where she graduated on 28 October 1903.Between 1903 and 1912, she worked as a teacher at various schools in Mexico, including the ''Escuela de Niñas de Guadalajara'' (1905–1913) and the ''Escuela Práctica Anexa a la Normal'' (1913–1914).During these first years of teaching, Apodaca was able to observe the poverty and exploitation in the countryside and in the city and experienced the poor working conditions for teaching staff first-hand.",
"This and her acquaintance with liberal-democratic teachers such as Aurelia Guevara, Abel Anaya and Aurelio Ortega politicised Apodaca.",
"Her participation in the electoral movement at the end of Porfirio Díaz's reign and Francisco Madero's presidential campaign radicalised her.",
"Although she supported Madero's original political ideas, her participation in the electoral movement did not coincide with what Madero himself and other revolutionary politicians of the time thought about the role of women in the political process, as they believed that women's role should be limited to accompanying men in the fulfilment of their duties and not to active participation in political power.",
"Their active participation challenged traditional gender roles.Between 1912 and 1913, she joined the ''Liga de Amigos del Pueblo'', a group of liberal intellectuals led by Luis Alatorre, a politician who ran for governor of Jalisco in 1912 and tried to enlighten the working class and combat the fanaticism of the time through plays, poems and speeches.",
"Through the ''Liga'', Apodaca got to know the ''Centro Bohemio'', a cultural, political, progressive and anti-clerical group led by José Guadalupe Zuno.",
"There she met Florencio Luna and J. Concepción Cortés, who introduced her to General Manuel M. Diéguez.During the government of Victoriano Huerta, Apodaca carried out \"anti-Huerta campaigns\" by giving her own speeches or distributing and posting in public places the revolutionary speech that Senator Belisario Domínguez Palencia had given about Huerta's abuses on 23 September 1913, for which he was later assassinated.During the Mexican Revolution, she actively participated in the armed struggle, particularly in a battle of the \"Division of the North\" (''División del Norte'') in February 1915 under the command of Dieguez.",
"After the fall of the Huerta government, she began working closely with the then interim governor Manuel M. Diéguez, as both held the Catholic Church responsible for the precarious living situation of the people in Jalisco.",
"Diéguez valued her as an excellent teacher and speaker and appointed her school inspector.",
"Apodaca was openly anti-clerical and campaigned for a series of educational, labour and social reforms.",
"From 1914, she became increasingly involved as a lecturer and spokesperson for revolutionary and constitutional ideals throughout the country, together with Belén de Sárraga.",
"In August 1914, she founded and led the ''Círculo Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez'' in Jalisco, together with her sister Laura Apodaca and a larger group of female teachers who gave weekly lectures at the ''Teatro Degollado'' for female teachers, state high school students and allies of the revolutionary struggle, with the aim of integrating more women into the ''Constitutionalists'' party.",
"On 26 November 1917, Atala Apodaca married Samuel Ruiz Cabañas Bustamante in the church ''El Vate''.",
"In 1918, together with other female teachers and workers, she founded the ''Centro Radical Femenino'', which supported this revolutionary anti-clerical stance.",
"The ''Centro'' ran a newspaper, ''El Iconoclasta'' and a Sunday school dependent on the workers' organisation ''Casa del Obrero Mundial'', in which children were taught the principles of social justice, solidarity and freedom.",
"In the conservative environment of the Tapatíos, her anti-clerical stance earned her criticism and disregard for her social merits.",
"From 1916 to 1917, she was president of the \"Commission for Nationalist Studies and Propaganda\" founded by Venustiano Carranza.",
"The aim of this commission was to spread the ideals and principles of the revolution throughout the country through the popular magazine ''Argos'' From 1920 to 1940, she lived in Mexico City, where she worked again as a teacher, headmistress and school inspector.",
"After her return to Guadalajara, Jalisco, in the mid-1940s, she was not only headmistress of the ''José Clemente Orozco'' school, but also a pedagogical counsellor at the Jalisco Ministry of Education.",
"From 1962 until her retirement, she was an inspector for the school system.",
"In 1946, she was recognised by the Ministry of Defence as a \"Veteran of the Revolution\".",
"The government of Jalisco also honoured her work as a teacher by awarding her the medal ''Mtro.",
"Manuel López Cotilla'' medal in 1946 and 1957.In 1963, the Ministry of Defence admitted her to the Mexican Legion of Honour (''Legión de Honor Mexicana'').",
"Apodaca died of stomach cancer on 31 August 1977 at the age of 93.On 20 November 2013, her name was added to the list of the most famous Mexican veterans.",
"On 20 November 2013, her name was unveiled as one of four women on a 22-person list of honour in the ''Salón de Sesiones'' of Guadalajara City Hall."
],
[
"Feminist positions",
"Apodaca was ahead of her time.",
"She pursued the approach, which she advocated in the popular magazine ''Argos'' among others, that educating women to be free, valuable and proactive would make men see them as equals: \"She will be the teacher and the enterprising one who educates herself for herself and for society, and no longer for a man who acts as her master\".",
"She represented a new archetype of the Mexican woman: intelligent, politically active and anti-clerical, which is why she was often vilified by conservatives as \"unfeminine\".",
"Even within the liberal movement, she broke with the stereotype of the passive Catholic woman who opposes social progress She blamed the Catholic Church for the educational backwardness of women.",
"While she did not question the role of women as mothers and wives, she believed that this role should be expanded through access to education and secularisation, and argued for the inclusion of an ideal of women as modern, secular women and active participants in public life: \"The free and educated woman, who is the exception today, will be the rule in the future, and women will then put their qualities at the service of human progress.\""

"Teaching the Actuality of Revolution"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Teaching the Actuality of Revolution: Aesthetics, Unlearning, and the Sensations of Struggle''''' is a 2023 book by American educational theorist, author and academic Derek R. Ford.",
"The book, which is their eighth monograph, explores the intersection of aesthetics, pedagogy, and the experiential aspects of revolutionary movements.",
"The book draws on diverse Marxist traditions, including those of Paulo Freire, Louis Althusser, Henri Lefebvre, Brian Becker, Peter McLaren, and Fredric Jameson, weaving their insights together to explore the revolutionary potentials in formal and informal education."
],
[
"Summary",
"The book examines the intersection of pedagogy, aesthetics, and Marxist revolution.",
"Ford challenges traditional ideology critique, proposing Marxist pedagogy shift from knowledge acquisition to somatic experiences.",
"Ford argues ideology is not a set of incorrect ideas and instead follows Althusser, Jennifer Ponce de León, Gabriel Rockhill and argues \"our sensuous capacities, their organizations, and the entire sensuous world are historically produced\" (p. 5).",
"The aesthetics of class struggle are significant given that capitalism can profit from the endless critiques of it.",
"The first chapter articulates the perceptual ecology of capitalist domination reading Marx's ''Capital'' as an aesthetic and pedagogical text, and the second chapter argues that capitalism reproduces its perceptual ecology by reducing teaching to the pedagogy of learning, which is an endless process where we “endlessly identify, improve, accumulate, and perform our competencies” ( p. 52).",
"In response, he develops a theory teaching as provoking unlearning, where the teacher opens and maintains spaces in which we experience “the gaps in the present” that can't be known but only thought (p. 59).",
"The remaining three chapters focus on the materiality of thought, listening for uncertainty, and the pedagogy of arrhythmia.",
"Each of the chapters illustrate examples of how teaching as unlearning does not demonstrate or explain the alternatives present in the world but produces experiences of such alternatives.",
"The book's conclusion introduces \"perceptual mapping,\" a pedagogical model connecting abstract concepts to real projects of building socialism."
],
[
"Critical reviews",
"Simon Boxley praised the book for its focus on pedagogy within Marxist education, emphasizing the material aspects of teaching.",
"He appreciated Ford's exploration of aesthetics, unlearning, and sensations in the struggle against capitalism.",
"Boxley acknowledged Ford's commitment to communism and his innovative and unique Marxist scholarship on pedagogy.",
"He commended Ford's efforts to connect ideology, perception, and practice through pedagogy, highlighting its potential to disrupt and reshape the experiences of the current conjuncture.",
"Boxley wrote:\"This book, like some of Ford’s others has a real significance to all of our practices.",
"In preparing course materials in recent days, I have subjected them to scrutiny, asking myself how and when they might elicit pedagogical interventions towards unlearning and disinterpellation, and when they might close off that possibility.",
"This book does indeed make educators like myself think again about our pedagogy.",
"No doubt.",
"And in doing so I think it genuinely hints at the possible ways in which we might point towards thinking the actuality of revolution.",
"\"Boxley's review essay argues there are two gaps in the book.",
"The first is the lack of concrete examples of the more abstract concepts and the second is the question of the teacher.",
"“Unlike some of his other work,” Boxley notes, “the communist Party barely figures here as a place of teaching, still less non-Party public fora” (p. 271).Jesus Jaime-Diaz and Aimée Azul Chávez thought the book challenges activist scholars in academia who perpetuate capitalism.",
"They appreciated the book's focus on disrupting capitalist perceptual ecology through the interplay of perception and sensation, providing a rupture in traditional aesthetics.",
"The reviewers commended Ford's exploration of pedagogy, unlearning, and the struggles against social inequality.",
"They found value in Ford's engagement with various educational theories and theorists, such as Freire, Althusser, and Lefebvre.",
"They recognized the importance of the book for educators, practitioners, and scholars as a guide for questioning societal norms and the education system.",
"However, they suggested clarifying the book's audience and incorporating layman's terms for complex theoretical concepts, while also emphasizing the need for critical reflection on racialized social class and gender oppression in relation to capital's perceptual ecology.Eli J. Pine found judged the book to be a practical exploration of pedagogy, aesthetics, and Marxist methodology.",
"Ford's emphasis on unlearning, the affectual realm of class struggle, and the cultivation of an \"educational modality\" resonated with Pine, who appreciated the book's ability to guide readers through complex concepts.",
"Pine praised Ford's integration of diverse Marxist traditions and highlighted the book's structure, which included chapters on pedagogy, perceptual ecology, encounters, listening, and the pedagogy of arrhythmia.",
"Unlike Boxley, Pine says the book “a welcome contribution to both theory and practice that may well be read on the picket line, in the university classroom, or by a reading group of comrades” (p. 513).Peter McLaren, a leading global Marxist educational scholar who served on Ford's PhD committee, appreciated the book emphasizing its importance in steering the next generation of critical scholars.",
"He praised the book for respecting diverse political perspectives and highlighting a commitment to revolutionary struggle as a unifying force.",
"McLaren acknowledged Ford's theoretical adaptability, strategic proficiency, and termed the book's conclusion as \"perceptual mapping\" – a pedagogical model aligned with Fredric Jameson's cognitive mapping but emphasizing multimodality and the sonic.",
"He stated this was the first book of Ford's with a satisfying conclusion or a “substantive closing.” At the end of his review, McLaren implied Ford's critique of critical intellectuals, particularly the “iconoclastic Henry Giroux,” was too harsh and not comradely enough."

"'''Raoul I of Tosny''' was Lord of Conches, and probably an heir of Raoul, brother of Archbishop Hugh of Rouen.In 1013 or 1014 Duke Richard II entrusted him (together with his son Roger and Nigel, viscount of Cotentin) with the castle at Tillieres-sur-Avre, where he defeated Odo II, count of Blois-Chartres.There is evidence that Raoul participated in the wars in Southern Italy, probably following a dispute with Richard.",
"The evidence points out to his participation in the rebellion against the Byzantines in 1017, and according to Raoul Glaber he was welcomed back by Richard in 1023, after fighting alongside King Henry II of Germany against the Byzantines in 1022.He died probably in 1026."

"Go Legend"
],
[
"Introduction",
"\"'''Go Legend'''\" is a song by American rapper Big Sean and American record producer Metro Boomin from their collaborative studio album ''Double or Nothing'' (2017).",
"It features American rapper Travis Scott and contains samples from \"Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)\" by Diana Ross."
],
[
"Background",
"Big Sean previewed the song during his performance at Lollapalooza in August 2017."
],
[
"Critical reception",
"The song received generally negative reviews from music critics.",
"Vince Rick of ''HotNewHipHop'' stated in his review of ''Double or Nothing'', \"From the opening track, 'Go Legend', Big Sean and Metro Boomin live up to the album's name, staking it all on a sample of Diana Ross's 'Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)'.",
"It's the kind of brazen decision that only someone like Sean's big brother Kanye would make, not unlike snatching a crucifix off the altar and proceeding to customize it.",
"But Big Sean isn't afraid of tripping over a classic; if Diana Ross' longing and uncertainty previously yielded fates unknown, Sean has already come to term with his destiny— 'microphone legend, yeah/ Sean a legend'.\"",
"Claire Lobenfeld of ''Pitchfork'' wrote, \"Why isn't there anyone in the recording studio telling Big Sean that his lyrics are not good?",
"He opens the album with a track called 'Go Legend' where he declares his brother to be like John Legend.\"",
"Jordan M. of Sputnikmusic commented \"Travis Scott goes some way toward wrecking whatever replayablity 'Go Legend' night ''sic'' have had.\""

"Anthill in Prussia"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Anthill in Prussia''''' (Lithuanian: ''Skruzdėlynas Prūsijoje'') is a novella by writer Juozas Aputis.",
"Although he began writing it in 1967, due to Soviet censorship, the book was not published until 1989.It is one of his most famous and important works, described as \"one of the most prominent phenomenon of national prose\", allegorically covering themes such as existential anxiety, an individual's relationship with history, as well as the persistence of humanity and resistance to violence during times of rationality and irrationality.",
"The 1989 edition contains two short stories in the same book.",
"One of them, ''Vargonų balsas skalbykloje'' (The Organs' Voice in the Washing Room), which first appeared in the ''Nemunas'' magazine in 1988 but was written over the previous ten years during Aputis' most challenging creative period, covers young people's initial youthfulness turned into compromise which deprives them of a full life, in which a multi-perspective narrative reminds of improvisation on the organ.",
"The story includes the contraposition of youthful maximalism and the conformism of the Era of Stagnation, and retells the story of three people – a famous organist, a high-ranking official, and his wife.",
"The second story, ''Skruzdėlynas Prūsijoje'' (literally, an Anthill in Prussia), is an allegorical retelling of a man and a woman who, devoting themselves to an ascetic lifestyle, retreat into the wilderness of Prussia.",
"Aputis commented that the premise of the book came to him from a dream, in which you could only protest against the spiritual disorder of the USSR in the manner he described.",
"Because of that, the story contains many fantastical and metaphorical elements.",
"The story also delves into the fate of the Baltic Prussians, tying them with modern-day Balts of Lithuania and Latvia."

"Introduction",
"'''Ramnes Church''' () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Tønsberg Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway.",
"It is located in the village of Ramnes.",
"It is the church for the Ramnes parish which is part of the Tønsberg domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.",
"The white, stone church was built in a long church design around the year 1150 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect.",
"The church seats about 234 people."
],
[
"History",
"The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1363, but the church was not built that year.",
"The first church in Ramnes was likely a wooden post church that was built during the 11th century.",
"Around the year 1150, the wooden church was torn down and a new stone church was built on the site.",
"The stone church initially consisted of a nave and chancel.",
"The main entrance (portal) was on the south wall of the nave and a secondary entrance was on the south wall of the chancel.",
"The walls of the church were made of stone but the gables were timber-framed.",
"Like most medieval stone churches, there were no windows on the north wall.",
"The church was originally dedicated to the Saints Peter and Paul and the building was consecrated on 7 March (year uncertain).During the early 17th century, the church roof was rebuilt and larger windows were installed.",
"Also during this renovation, the south portal in the nave and the chancel were bricked up and a new entrance to the church on the west end of the nave was constructed.",
"In 1653, another renovation took place.",
"A new church porch and a new sacristy was built.",
"Inside the church a new flat ceiling and second-floor seating galleries were installed along the west and north walls.",
"A new altarpiece and pulpit were installed too.",
"In 1673, the Count of Jarlsberg took over the ownership of the church.",
"In 1814, this church served as an election church ().",
"Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway.",
"This was Norway's first national elections.",
"Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called \"electors\" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.In 1895, the church was sold to the congregation and was no longer in private ownership.",
"In the early 20th century, it was obvious that something had to be done about the church since it was in very poor condition.",
"The architect Carl Berner was hired to plan a renovation in 1914.It was not until around 1930, however, that the major restoration was carried out.",
"The artist Domenico Erdmann planned the interior designs for this renovation."

"Introduction",
"'''Cásper Líbero''' (March 2, 1889 – August 27, 1943) was a Brazilian journalist.He graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of São Paulo and two years later, he founded the newspaper Última Hora, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.",
"At the age of 23, he created the first news agency in the state of São Paulo, Agência Americana.In 1918, at the age of 29, he became director and owner of the afternoon newspaper A Gazeta, modernizing it and transforming it into one of the largest press organizations of the time.",
"To this end, he imported rotary presses from Germany, replaced the telegraph with the teletype and implemented new engraving, composition and graphic printing techniques, the first in color in Brazil.",
"At the same time, he implemented a new dynamic in the transportation and distribution of the newspaper, enabling copies to reach readers in record time.In 1932, he was one of the leaders of the Constitutionalist Revolution.",
"In 1939, he inaugurated the Palácio da Imprensa, as the headquarters of the newspaper A Gazeta would later be called on the old Rua da Conceição, now Avenida Cásper Líbero.",
"It was the first building erected in the country with the appropriate characteristics for writing, engraving, composing, printing and distributing a newspaper.Between 1940 and 1941, he presided over the National Press Federation (FENAI-FAIBRA).He created a supplement especially dedicated to sports, focused on football coverage, called ''A Gazeta Esportiva'' and was the creator of the Saint Silvester Road Race.When he died in a plane crash in Rio de Janeiro, in which the then archbishop of São Paulo, Dom José Gaspar d'Afonseca e Silva, also died, he left, in accordance with his will present in his own will, a communications complex that is administered currently by the Cásper Líbero Foundation.",
"This complex currently brings together TV Gazeta, Rádio Gazeta and Gazeta FM, the Gazeta Esportiva portal, the Faculdade Cásper Líbero and the Grupo Cidadania Empresarial.He is buried in the São Paulo Obelisk, where the remains of the heroes of the Revolution of 1932 rest."
],
[
"Biography",
"Son of Honório Líbero, doctor and republican politician, and Mrs. Zerbina de Toledo Líbero, a very respected lady in Bragança, Cásper Líbero, moved to the city of São Paulo.At the age of 19, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Legal and Social Sciences from the Faculty of Law of the University of São Paulo.",
"As a lawyer he only worked for two years.",
"He was attorney for the Mato Grosso Treasury.A little earlier, he worked as head of the branch of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo in Rio de Janeiro, until then the Brazilian capital.",
"At the age of 21, in the city of São Paulo, he created Americana, a pioneering agency in 100% national news.At the age of 23, he founded, together with other partners, the newspaper ''Última Hora'', which had a large circulation in the city of Rio de Janeiro.Then, at the age of 29, on July 14, 1918, Antônio Augusto de Covello, the third owner of the newspaper ''A Gazeta'', decided to sell it to Cásper Líbero.",
"He became director and owner, transforming it into one of the largest press organizations of the time.Cásper modernized the newspaper by implementing new technologies, installing a new dynamic in its distribution, and managed to organize it in a way that made profits, while promoting correct and ethical journalism.",
"However, the success of the newspaper “A Gazeta” was still not enough.",
"He intended to create a communication complex.Being passionate about sports, he then created A Gazeta Esportiva, which started small, as just a column, and later became the most important sports newspaper in Latin America.Cásper Líbero, was one of the leaders of the 1932 revolution, and this act was so important that he is buried in the Ibirapuera obelisk, next to the 4 people killed on May 23 (MMDC).",
"After the revolution, Cásper Líbero went into exile in the United States and soon after in France.In 1934, he created the sound version of “A Gazeta”, which was broadcast on Rádio Cruzeiro do Sul, which was broadcast on the program ''Grande Jornal Falado d’A Gazeta''.In 1939, Cásper Líbero inaugurated the Palácio da Imprensa to house the new facilities of A Gazeta, at Rua Conceição, 88 (current Av.",
"Cásper Líbero).Cásper, passionate about sports and a great supporter of various sports, created the traditional Saint Silvester Road Race, which takes place every year on December 31st.",
"He also created the July 9 Cycling Race, which pays homage to the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932.In addition to other events such as the São Paulo Swimming Crossing, which takes place on the Tietê River and the Brazilian University Games.The 1940s are very important in Cásper's history, as in 1943, he invested in radio, thus acquiring Rádio Educadora Paulista (currently Gazeta Online), which was the pioneering radio station in São Paulo.",
"It was a success with the public and critics for having a very refined musical program, considered a school for musicians.However, on August 27, 1943, Cásper was traveling on the VASP “Cidade de São Paulo” plane, which crashed into the Naval Academy Tower, near Guanabara Bay, in Rio de Janeiro.",
"The accident was fatal, killing not only the journalist but also the other passengers.",
"The Archbishop of São Paulo Dom José Gaspar was also on the flight.Before his death, Cásper Líbero wrote a will to ensure that his assets should be destined to the creation of a foundation with the aim of, using quality education and means of communication, being able to build a more just and developed society.The Cásper Líbero Foundation manages his assets, and in accordance with his wishes, created the first Journalism school in the country, the Cásper Líbero College.",
"TV Gazeta, which was already part of his plans, was also one of the legacies he left behind."

"Introduction",
"Abstract representation of a Fly-By-Wire flight system'''Flight control computer''' (FCC) is a primary component of the avionics system found in fly-by-wire aircraft.",
"It is a specialized computer system that can create an artificial flight characteristics and improve handling characteristics by automating a variety of in-flight tasks which reduce the workload on the cockpit flight crew.Flight control computer receives and processes data from a multitude of sensors throughout the aircraft.",
"These sensors monitor variables such as airspeed, altitude, and attitude (the aircraft's orientation in three-dimensional space).",
"The FCC interprets this data in addition to pilot's controls, and executes actions to control the plane's flight control surfaces, including the ailerons, elevators, and rudder.The flight control system must be fault tolerant, and for that purpose there can exist several primary flight control computers (PFCC) and secondary flight control computers (SFCC), which monitors the data output from PFCC and in the case of failure, SFCC can take over the flight controls.In the Boeing 777 there are three primary flight control computers (FCCs) located in the aircraft's electronic equipment bay, responsible for computing and transmitting commands for normal mode flight control surfaces to maintain normal flight, including rudder, elevators, ailerons, flaperons, horizontal stabilizer, multi-functional spoilers, and ground spoilers."

[
"Reception",
"In a review for ''DownBeat'', Daniel Margolis stated that, in relation to the trio's performances on their debut album, ''The Reel'' finds them \"even tighter as a unit,\" engaging in \"noteworthy interplay.",
"\"Peter Margasak of ''The Quietus'' noted that Taylor's \"perfectly pitched presence provides propulsion that feels so innate you might hardly notice his particular genius.\"",
"He suggested that the album \"reinforces his abilities as a composer and bandleader, where his weighty, expansive command of his full kit has no problem making up for the lack of a bassist,\" and commented: \"As if we needed more proof of Taylor’s innate musicality, here it is.",
"\"Critic Tom Hull awarded the album a grade of \"A–\", and included it in his list of the best jazz releases of 2022.",
"''Stereogum'''s Phil Freeman singled out the group's rendition of Andrew Hill's \"Reconciliation\" for praise, stating that the musicians \"seem to be listening to each other quite carefully, and adjusting on the fly to make sure that the piece is holding together, even when it becomes a piano-drums duo; Taylor delivers soft but persistent whaps with brushes as the pianist moves confidently forward, extrapolating Hill's melody and turning it into a series of hypnotically compelling mini-songs.",
"\"Writing for ''Point of Departure'', Troy Collins called the album \"an aesthetic distillation of Taylor's career to date,\" and noted the trio's \"near clairvoyant level of interplay.\"",
"He remarked: \"Complex yet unpretentious, ''The Reel'' boasts a rarefied combination of emotional immediacy and unfettered experimentation...",
"Bringing out the best in his fellow musicians, Taylor relies on the strengths of his seasoned collaborators.",
"\"Brad Rose of ''Foxy Digitalis'' wrote: \"Podgurski squeezes mesmerizing, pointillist patterns into Taylor's angular rhythms, blazing a path that Settles lights on fire.",
"Taylor leads the trio with his vulnerable approach, adding layers of emotional depth and connection.",
"Pensive reflections veer into bop-infused cathartic expositions to give ''The Reel'' a rounded, world-traversing joyous feel.",
"\"The ''Downtown Music Gallery'''s Bruce Lee Gallanter described the album as \"a complete marvel from the beginning to the righteous end,\" and stated: \"Considering that this is a trio without a bassist, they do sound great just as they are... all three musicians expand their sound/playing to cover the entire focused trio sound.",
"\"Commenting for ''Jazz Trail'', Filipe Freitas remarked: \"there are no weak moments on ''The Reel'', an album that holds one's interest on account of emotional honesty and a refreshing musical imagination made with a mix of complete unpretentiousness and necessary complexity.",
"The members of this trio, not being radically different in their tastes and approaches, are definitely on the same page.",

"Emily L. Loveridge"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Emily L. Loveridge''' (1860–1941) was an American nurse, educator, school founder, and hospital superintendent.",
"She established the first nursing school in the Northwestern United States at the Good Samaritan Hospital of Portland, Oregon (1890), the hospital having been founded fifteen years earlier by the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon.",
"In 1906, she became the hospital's superintendent and had the distinction of her hospital being the largest Protestant hospital in the U.S. having a woman as superintendent.",
"In 1926, she was elected President of the Northwest Hospital Association."
],
[
"Early life and education",
"Emily Lemoine Loveridge was born in Hammondsport, New York, August 28, 1860.Her father, the Rev.",
"Daniel E. Loveridge, was an Episcopal minister, who was born in Connecticut and came west from Unadilla, New York in 1888 to take charge of an Episcopal parish in Oregon.",
"Subsequently, he went to Eugene, where he presided over the church for 11 years and then retired, his death occurring in 1908.His wife, Maria Lemoine Wolfalk was a native of Virginia, and was the adopted daughter of George Upfold, first Episcopal Bishop of Indiana.",
"Maria died when Emily was four years of age.",
"Emily had two siblings: George Uphold Loveridge and Mrs. Sarah L. Heslop.",
"After the father's subsequent marriage, Emily gained two half-sisters: Mrs. John Cannon of Astoria, Oregon and Mrs. L. A. Newton of Portland.She was graduated from the Norwich High School, Norwich, New York, and worked as a teacher in the primary grade school for six years, before deciding to devote her life to the profession of nursing.She then completed a course in Bellevue Hospital, New York City, graduating with the class of 1890.During Loveridge's senior year, in 1890, she received an appealing letter from Emma Adams Wakeman, Good Samaritan Hospital superintendent, urging Loveridge to come to Portland, Oregon to organize the nurse training school at the hospital.",
"Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris, of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon visited New York to interview Loveridge after transacting diocesan business in Philadelphia."
],
[
"Career",
"===Nursing school founder===Good Samaritan Hospital (1881)Loveridge's first reaction was that she thought it inconceivable that anyone could be happy outside of New York.",
"However, she felt it her Christian duty to make some sacrifice and agreed to accept the responsibility for one year.",
"She left Unadilla, New York, and came to the west on May 1, 1890, to organize the training school for nurses at the Good Samaritan Hospital that year.",
"This was the first nurses' training school established in the Pacific Northwest and one of the pioneer schools west of the Mississippi River, for at that time there were few nursing schools outside of the large medical centers of the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. During Loveridge's first month at the hospital, candidates for the training school were interviewed and on June 1, 1890, a class of six women was admitted.",
"At this time, the hospital consisted of a two-story wooden building accommodating 50 patients.",
"An addition, providing extra accommodation for ten private and ten ward patients had been completed but not occupied.",
"The hospital was under the direct supervision of Wakeman, Loveridge serving under her.",
"Quarters for the nurses were provided by constructing partitions, dividing a large room of the hospital to accommodate three single and three double beds.",
"Later, four rooms were fitted up in the basement for the nurses' sleeping quarters.",
"Outside the hospital, there was only one graduate nurse in Portland.",
"Instruction for the first class included a few lectures by physicians and classwork conducted by Loveridge on three evenings a week.",
"Loveridge's mornings were taken up in preparing patients for surgery and she also served as head nurse during operations.",
"Her afternoons were spent in boiling catgut, making and sterilizing dressings, cleaning instruments, sharpening scalpels, and writing up charts and nurses' records.",
"She was frequently constrained (there being no elevator) to carry alone, or with assistance, patients from one floor to another.",
"She served as superintendent of the training school for nurses until 1906.At the same time, Loveridge actively cooperated with and assisted, Wakeman, the hospital superintendent.===Hospital superintendent===Good Samaritan Hospital (1910)In 1906, Loveridge became the superintendent of the Good Samaritan Hospital, Wakeman having resigned on account of ill health.",
"The institution had 300 beds at the time, with 133 nurses in attendance.Good Samaritan Hospital (1926)Loveridge recognized the necessity for improvements in hospital construction and equipment.",
"It was through her influence with the public and the medical and nursing professions that such construction and equipment were promptly provided.",
"Thus, when the standardization of the hospital was urged, it was easy for the institution quickly to comply with all the standardization requirements specified by the American College of Surgeons.",
"These transitions in construction and equipment called for a revolution of the hospital's finances which was soon brought about by Loveridge's organizing ability.Loveridge also took an active interest in other hospitals, becoming president of the Northwest Hospital Association.",
"She conducted an inspection tour of Eastern hospitals studying physiotherapy equipment before establishing such a department in her hospital."
],
[
"Personal life",
"Loveridge reared two of her sister's children, Ernestine Heslop, who was graduated from University of California, Berkeley; and Paul Loveridge Heslop, who was graduated from Cornell University as a civil engineer.Emily Lemoine Loveridge died in Portland, Oregon, April 26, 1941."

"Chandrasekhar–Friedman–Schutz instability"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Chandrasekhar–Friedman–Schutz instability''' or shortly '''CFS instability''' refers to an instability that can occur in rapidly rotating stars with which the instability arises for cases where the gravitational radiation reaction is unable to cope with the change in angular momentum associated with the perturbations.",
"The instability was discovered by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in 1970 and later a simple intuitive explanation for the instability was provided by John L. Friedman and Bernard F. Schutz.",
"Specifically, the instability arises when a non-axisymmetric perturbation mode that appears co-rotating in the inertial frame (from which gravitational waves are observed), is in fact is counter-rotating with respect to the star."
],
[
"Roberts–Stewartson instability and CFS instability",
"Although it has been anticipated a long time (1883) ago by William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) and Peter Guthrie Tait in their book Treatise on Natural Philosophy that a small presence of viscosity in a rotating, self-gravitating, otherwise ideal fluid mass would lose its stability, it is shown to be true only much later by Paul H. Roberts and Keith Stewartson in 1963.Similar to how an energy dissipation by viscosity will lead to loss of stability, Chandrasekhar showed that the dissipation by the gravitational radiation reaction would also lead to a loss of stability, although such an instability is unprecedented in a non-rotating star.",
"The instability that arises only when there is a dissipation, but disappears in the absence of dissipation is referred to as the ''secular instability''.",
"Both the Roberts–Stewartson instability and CFS instability are secular instability, although they do not both correspond to same modes in the following sense: In the absence of radiation reaction and viscosity, the Maclaurin spheroid (a model for rotating, self-gravitating body) becomes marginally or neutrally stable when its eccentricity reaches a critical value with two possible neutral modes, but however it does not become unstable after this bifurcation.",
"It is only in the presence of dissipation, Maclaurin spheroid becomes unstable when eccentricity exceeds its bifurcation value.",
"The Roberts–Stewartson instability stems from one of the neutral mode, whereas the CFS instability stems from the other neutral mode."

"Under typical circumstances bodies follow a circadian rhythm, which can be extended from 23 to 25 hours when deprived of context.",
"Her observations can help to explain why humans can accommodate an extra hour of sleep as opposed to losing it.",
"Over the course of a 23-hour sleep cycle hormones are secreted at the wrong times, causing you to feel awake and hungry at inappropriate times.",
"Disruptions to circadian rhythms in people who work night shifts or as flight attendants can cause carcinogenic effects."

"Exidia repanda"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Exidia repanda''''' is a species of fungus in the family Auriculariaceae.",
"In the UK, it has the recommended English name of '''birch jelly'''.",
"Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous, orange-brown, and button-shaped.",
"It typically grows on dead attached twigs and branches of birch (''Betula'' species) and has been recorded from Europe, North America, and Japan."
],
[
"Taxonomy",
"The species was originally described from Sweden in 1822 by mycologist Elias Magnus Fries.",
"Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that ''Exidia repanda'' is part of a complex of species including ''Exidia recisa'' and ''E.",
"crenata''."
],
[
"Description",
"''Exidia repanda'' forms reddish brown, gelatinous fruit bodies that are firm and button-shaped, around 3 cm across.",
"The fruit bodies typically grow gregariously, but do not normally coalesce.",
"The upper, spore-bearing surface is smooth and shiny, whilst the undersurface is smooth and matt.",
"Fruit bodies are attached to the wood at a point, but do not have a stem.",
"The spore print is white.===Microscopic characters===The microscopic characters are typical of the genus ''Exidia''.",
"The basidia are ellipsoid, septate, 12.5 to 15 by 7.5 to 10 μm.",
"The spores are allantoid (sausage-shaped), 12 to 14 by 2.5 to 3.5 μm.===Similar species===In Europe, fruit bodies of ''Exidia recisa'' are similarly coloured and microscopically indistinguishable.",
"The fruit bodies are conical and pendulous, however, and the species typically occurs on willow.",
"Fruit bodies of ''Exidia umbrinella'' are also similar, but the species only occurs on conifers and is uncommon.",
"''Exidia brunneola'' is also uncommon and occurs on poplar.",
"In North America, ''Exidia crenata'' is similar, but has conical to pendulous fruit bodies and typically occurs on oak.",
"The widespread ''Exidia glandulosa'' has much darker, blackish brown fruit bodies with sparse warts or small, peg-like projections on their surface."

[
"Habitat and distribution",
"''Exidia repanda'' is a wood-rotting species, typically found on dead attached twigs and branches of birch.",

"Interamerican Series"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Interamerican Series''' () was an international club baseball tournament that brought together independent and winter league teams in North America and the Caribbean.",
"Held from 1946 to 1950 and from 1961 to 1965, it was the precursor to the modern Caribbean Series."
],
[
"History",
"The Interamerican Series was the initiative of Venezuelan businessman Jesús Corao.",
"It came in the wake of Venezuela hosting the 1944 and 1945 Amateur World Series, the Serie Monumental that saw American Negro league all-stars play Venezuelan clubs, and the ensuing professionalization of the sport in the country, in the form of the Venezuelan League.",
"The inaugural series included Venezuelan champions Cerveceria Caracas, Sultanes de Monterrey of the Mexican League, the Havana Cubans of the Florida International League (alternatively, the \"All-Cubans\"), and the Brooklyn Bushwicks, an independent semi-pro team managed by John Antonelli, with former and future Major League stars like Tony Cuccinello, Whitey Ford, and Hank Borowy.",
"The 1946 tournament was notable for being the place where major league scout Joe Cambria signed Chico Carrasquel, then playing for Caracas.",
"In 1947, the Bushwicks were replaced by the Buffalo All-Stars, a team of International League players managed by Buffalo Bisons manager Paul Richards.",
"The series was suspended after 1950, as focus shifted to the Caribbean Series.The series was resurrected in 1961 after the Caribbean Series broke down, thanks to political tension caused by the Cuban Revolution.",
"The new Serie Interamericana would replaced the slot filled by the now-dissolved Cuban League with the champion of Panamanian League, with the host nation also sending an extra team.",
"The first edition was held in Caracas, but then shifted to San Juan and Panama City.",
"In 1964, the champion of the Nicaraguan League became the fourth team, after Venezuela opted to instead play a series against the Dominican Republic.The series struggled economically, due to the absence of Cuba as well as of the Dominican Republic, which itself was wracked in political turmoil and had been sanctioned by the Organization of American States since 1960.Despite this, the Dominican Republic organized a tournament in 1965, inviting Venezuela and Puerto Rico.",
"Despite the presence of major league stars like Roberto Clemente and Felipe Alou, the series ended prematurely.",
"The trophy was not formally awarded, though it is still owned by the Dominican team, Águilas Cibaeñas."

"Neutral atom quantum computer"
],
[
"Introduction",
"A '''Neutral atom quantum computer''' is a modality of quantum computers built out of Rydberg atoms; this modality has many commonalities with Trapped-ion quantum computers.",
"As of December 2023 the concept has been used to demonstrate a 48 Logical qubit processor.To perform computation, the atoms are first trapped in a Magneto-optical trap.",
"Qubits are then encoded in the energy levels of the atoms.",
"Initialization and operation of the computer is performed via the application of lasers on the qubits.",
"For example, the laser can accomplish arbitrary single qubit gates and a gate for universal quantum computation.",
"The gate is carried out by leveraging the Rydberg blockade which leads to strong interactions when the qubits are physically close to each other.",
"To perform a gate a Rydberg pulse is applied to the control qubit, a on the target qubit and then a on the control.",
"Measurement is enforced at the end of the computation with a camera that generates an image of the outcome by measuring the fluorescence of the atoms."
