Pelecyphora dasyacantha
|
Pelecyphora dasyacantha is a species of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to the Mexico.
Pelecyphora dasyacantha grows singly and occasionally sprouts. The depressed spherical to short cylindrical shoots reach heights of up to 20 centimeters and diameters of 4 to 7 centimeters. The shoots are covered by the dense white thorns. Of the warts, which are up to 10 millimeters long, the older ones at the base of the shoots are often corked and thornless. The seven to 17 strong, white central spines are 2.5 centimeters long. The 25 to 50 or more marginal spines are strong, white and 0.6 to 2.5 centimeters long.
The flowers are more or less pink to brownish or occasionally greenish. They are up to 2 centimeters long and reach a diameter of 1.5 to 2 centimeters. The flowers rarely open completely due to the dense, stiff spines. The red, club-shaped fruits are up to 10 millimeters long.
Pelecyphora dasyacantha is distributed in the United States in the states of New Mexico and Texas and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Zacatecas.
The first description as Mammillaria dasyacantha by George Engelmann was published in 1856. The specific epithet dasyacantha is derived from the Greek words dasys for 'dense', 'rough', 'shaggy' and akantha for 'thorn'. Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose placed the species in the genus Escobaria in 1923. David Aquino & Daniel Sánchez moved the species to Pelecyphora based on phylogenetic studies in 2022. Other nomenclature synonyms are Cactus dasyacanthus (Engelm.) Kuntze (1891), Coryphantha dasyacantha (Engelm.) Orcutt (1922), Escobesseya dasyacantha (Engelm.) Hester (1945), Neobesseya dasyacantha (Engelm.) Lodé (2013) and Escobaria dasyacantha (Engelm.) Britton & Rose.

2024 Argentine Primera División
|
The 2024 Argentine Primera División - Liga Profesional (officially the Torneo Sur Finanzas 2024 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 134th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. The league season will begin on 12 May and will end on 15 December 2024.
Twenty-eight teams will compete in the league: twenty-six returning from the 2023 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2023 Primera Nacional (Independiente Rivadavia and Deportivo Riestra), both teams will participating in Argentine Primera Division for the first time in history from this season. River Plate will be the defending champions.
The competition will be run under a single round-robin, contested by 28 teams (26 from the previous edition plus 2 promoted from Primera Nacional). The champions will qualify for the 2025 Copa Libertadores as Argentina 1. The qualification for international tournaments will be determined by an aggregate table of the 2024 Primera División and 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments.
In this season two teams will be relegated to the Primera Nacional. One team will be relegated based on coefficients, while the bottom team of the 2023 aggregate table will also be relegated.
Teams will play every other team once (either at home or away) completing a total of 27 rounds.
The 2024 Argentine Primera División champions, 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional champions and 2024 Copa Argentina champions will earn a berth to the 2025 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berths to the 2025 Copa Libertadores as well as the ones to the 2025 Copa Sudamericana will be determined by an aggregate table of the 2024 Argentine Primera División and 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments. The top three teams in the aggregate table not already qualified for any international tournament will qualify for the Copa Libertadores, while the next six teams will qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.
In this season, the bottom team of the aggregate table will be relegated to the 2025 Primera Nacional. If two or more teams are level on points, extra matches will be played to decide which team will be relegated.
In addition to the relegation based on the aggregate table, one team will be relegated at the end of the season based on coefficients, which will take into consideration the points obtained by the clubs during the present season (aggregate table points) and the two previous seasons (only seasons at the top flight will be counted). The total tally will be then divided by the number of games played in the top flight over those three seasons and an average will be calculated. The team with the worst average at the end of the season will be relegated to Primera Nacional.

Nostre Dame de Grasse
|
The Virgin and Child from the Augustins Museum in Toulouse, also known as Nostre Dame de Grasse due to the inscription on its pedestal, is a Gothic sculpture. Although its origin remains somewhat unclear, it can be dated to the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance, around the 1500s. What makes this artwork one of the most famous in the museum is the quality of its craftsmanship, both in terms of sculpture and polychromy, as well as its decorative elements. Positioned at the intersection of two eras, it bears the influence of late medieval art while foreshadowing a refined and mannerist Renaissance. The sculpture underwent restoration in the early 2000s.
Nostre Dame de Grasse is a Gothic sculpture dating from the late 15th century, likely created between 1460 and 1480. Although recent research has shed light on questions surrounding the statue, its author, place of origin, and dates of creation remain unclear. In fact, the latest discoveries near the Rodez Cathedral suggest a dating closer to the turn of the century, around 1500. Very few documents help unravel the mystery surrounding this artwork. Contracts from that time related to stone sculpture are scarce, and no written source confirms the making of the Virgin. Similarly, there is no source indicating what happened to it after its creation. It might have been made for one of the chapels of the Church of the Jacobins and could have remained there until its transfer to the Augustins Museum in 1805.
In the 20th century, there were attempts to clean the sculpture, likely through brushing or scraping, which unfortunately contributed to the loss of its polychromy. It was in 2002 that a scientific restoration operation was decided upon . This restoration process lasted until 2004 and succeeded in revealing the original polychromy while uncovering four successive repaints. This operation provided insights into the dating and history of the artwork, while also raising new questions.
This Madonna is a Gothic sculpture in polychromed stone (common for medieval sculptures), carved from a single block of limestone. The back of the artwork is flat as it was designed to be backed against a surface. Gilding with mixtion is prevalent throughout the piece, but in various shades. This gold is locally shaded with red glazes.
The palette and decorative techniques used are characteristic of the late Middle Ages. The combination of blue, white, and gold for the Virgin's attire aligns perfectly with medieval tradition, especially in the International Gothic style. There is a variety of textural effects, including intentional transparency created by glazes, as well as large matte areas and both thick and thin layers. Each color is achieved by the superimposition of several successive layers (two or three), adding an extra challenge in identifying repaints. This reflects a commitment to quality and significant financial resources. For instance, for the skin, the artist applied a white underlayer. Before applying any color, there was an initial oily layer serving as a pore-filler. The skin tone, with its subtle color variations (ranging from pale brown around the nails to a more intense pink), results from precise and meticulous work. However, the presence of gilding on the reverse side of the fur of the coat is a specific feature of Nostre Dame de Grasse. The study of this polychromy revealed an artist's change of mind concerning two elements: the reverse side of the book's shirt and the upper molding of the base. In both cases, there are two successive layers: a green one covered by a bright red one. The painter ultimately chose red.
The style demonstrates a genuine concern for elegance and refinement. It is evident that the sculptor exhibited exceptional skill in this work, as demonstrated by the deep carving of the limestone to detach the Virgin's right arm and emphasize the volume of the clothing folds. Even in less accessible areas, precision was maintained. For example, on the Child's torso, the Virgin's left thumb shows small irregularities, suggesting that the Child's hands might have hindered the tool's passage and were not sculpted separately. Tool marks are intentionally visible. On the garments, the trace of the ripe is still visible, leaving a regularly striated surface characteristic of Toulouse medieval sculpture. On the flesh, however, the stone is perfectly smooth. As for the furs and hair, they were crafted with fine gouges and chisels .
Apart from the loss of the Child's hands and the coat of arms at the base of the statue, other stone losses appear to have occurred mainly in the 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century. Most fragments that fell over the years were promptly repositioned, but a few remain, kept in an annotated envelope found in the museum in 2003.
The artwork was repainted four times, between the 16th century and the very end of the 18th century. Subsequently, in 2002, it underwent a restoration to reveal the original polychromy.
The Virgin is depicted as a slender young girl with a pale complexion and wavy golden hair, adorned with blue eyes. The delicate features of her face convey a melancholic expression.
She wears a blue dress, fitted at the upper body, and a white/gray cloak with a golden reverse serving as a veil, treated in a naturalistic manner as the color sought to imitate vair. The starry motifs on her dress have disappeared over time. In some less visible parts of the border and lining of the cloak, gilding has been replaced by a silver/gold alloy covered with a yellow glaze, indicating an economical approach using a technique known in Germany in the late Middle Ages. The gold of the upper trim of the dress, as well as her crown, were likely enhanced with pearls or stones due to the regular perforations observed. However, there is no sign of wear or rubbing due to the presence of any decorative stones. No fragments of these materials or even rust have been found to prove this, nor any traces of glue. So, for the neckline of the dress, it seems that there were never any ornaments. In contrast, for the crown, there is still the hypothesis that a diadem was added around it and attached, with stones inserted into the holes without being blocked.
She appears to be holding a book emerging from a bag. However, it is more likely the shirt of the book, serving as its protection, closed by a system of leather ties and fittings. This fabric shirt and the book it protects are adorned with a decoration created using the technique of Applied brocades. They are gilded and decorated with motifs painted in black. The patterns depict circles containing a quatrefoil and stylized foliage. They could evoke an Italian lampas from the 14th century. The reverse of this shirt, as well as the attachment, were once red. This can still be glimpsed on the underside of the shirt.
The Child has a round face with rosy cheeks. His eyes are blue, and his hair is blonde, resembling that of his mother. He wears a carmine red tunic over a green shirt, with the collar visible, a color combination that seems quite surprising for the time. The reverse side of the tunic, once adorned with starry motifs, is also green.
The loss of his hands constitutes the most significant gap in the group. Reconstructed in 1835 after a deliberation by the municipal council, they were removed before the 1930s.
The base is black, and the cross, along with the inscription and foliage framing the central shield, is in gold. Positioned on the molded base of the sculpture, the shield, surrounded by still-visible curly cabbage leaves, was deliberately destroyed, most likely during the revolutionary period to eliminate the coat of arms of the commissioner. On October 28, 1793, the Republic banned all royal coats of arms. Thus, the arms of the shield were likely chopped down by order of the Republic, unless it was an act of revolutionary vandalism. An inscription that still remains reads: "Nostre Dame de Grasse," which gave its name to the statue.

Although its origin remains somewhat unclear, it can be dated to the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance, around the 1500s. What makes this artwork one of the most famous in the museum is the quality of its craftsmanship, both in terms of sculpture and polychromy, as well as its decorative elements. Positioned at the intersection of two eras, it bears the influence of late medieval art while foreshadowing a refined and mannerist Renaissance.

Although recent research has shed light on questions surrounding the statue, its author, place of origin, and dates of creation remain unclear. In fact, the latest discoveries near the Rodez Cathedral suggest a dating closer to the turn of the century, around 1500. Very few documents help unravel the mystery surrounding this artwork. Contracts from that time related to stone sculpture are scarce, and no written source confirms the making of the Virgin. Similarly, there is no source indicating what happened to it after its creation. It might have been made for one of the chapels of the Church of the Jacobins and could have remained there until its transfer to the Augustins Museum in 1805.",

This gold is locally shaded with red glazes.",

"text": "The palette and decorative techniques used are characteristic of the late Middle Ages. The combination of blue, white, and gold for the Virgin's attire aligns perfectly with medieval tradition, especially in the International Gothic style. There is a variety of textural effects, including intentional transparency created by glazes, as well as large matte areas and both thick and thin layers. Each color is achieved by the superimposition of several successive layers (two or three), adding an extra challenge in identifying repaints. This reflects a commitment to quality and significant financial resources. For instance, for the skin, the artist applied a white underlayer. Before applying any color, there was an initial oily layer serving as a pore-filler. The skin tone, with its subtle color variations (ranging from pale brown around the nails to a more intense pink), results from precise and meticulous work. However, the presence of gilding on the reverse side of the fur of the coat is a specific feature of Nostre Dame de Grasse. The study of this polychromy revealed an artist's change of mind concerning two elements: the reverse side of the book's shirt and the upper molding of the base. In both cases, there are two successive layers: a green one covered by a bright red one. The painter ultimately chose red.",

"text": "The style demonstrates a genuine concern for elegance and refinement. It is evident that the sculptor exhibited exceptional skill in this work, as demonstrated by the deep carving of the limestone to detach the Virgin's right arm and emphasize the volume of the clothing folds. Even in less accessible areas, precision was maintained. For example, on the Child's torso, the Virgin's left thumb shows small irregularities, suggesting that the Child's hands might have hindered the tool's passage and were not sculpted separately. Tool marks are intentionally visible. On the garments, the trace of the ripe is still visible, leaving a regularly striated surface characteristic of Toulouse medieval sculpture. On the flesh, however, the stone is perfectly smooth. As for the furs and hair, they were crafted with fine gouges and chisels .",

In some less visible parts of the border and lining of the cloak, gilding has been replaced by a silver/gold alloy covered with a yellow glaze, indicating an economical approach using a technique known in Germany in the late Middle Ages. The gold of the upper trim of the dress, as well as her crown, were likely enhanced with pearls or stones due to the regular perforations observed. However, there is no sign of wear or rubbing due to the presence of any decorative stones. No fragments of these materials or even rust have been found to prove this, nor any traces of glue.

Albert Plotkin
|
Albert Plotkin (1920 – 2010) was a Reform Rabbi and Jewish spiritual leader and educator in Arizona. He served as rabbi of Temple Beth Israel, the first permanent Jewish congregation in Phoenix for more almost forty years. The temple later became the Cutler-Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center, partly named in Rabbi Plotkin's honor.
Albert Plotkin, born in 1920 to Russian immigrant parents in South Bend, Indiana, showcased his singing talent early on. Despite being offered a job with a Major Bowes talent show, he pursued higher education. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1942 and, in 1948, was ordained by the Hebrew Union College with a Master of Hebrew Letters. At the time, he was only one of four graduates Notre Dame to become a rabbi. He would later note that these experiences provided a "realization of the bridge between Judaism and Christianity".
Following college, Rabbi Plotkin had various opportunities to kickstart his rabbinic career. Opting for a role as an assistant rabbi at Temple De Hirsch in Seattle, he crossed paths with Sylvia Pincus, a future wife and member of the congregation. A year later, they married, and Rabbi Plotkin assumed the role of senior rabbi at Temple Emanuel in Spokane. The couple, Rabbi Plotkin and Sylvia, were blessed with two daughters, Janis and Debra.
Rabbi Plotkin relocated the family to Phoenix in 1955. At that time, Phoenix had a mere 3,000 Jewish residents, and Temple Beth Israel boasted only 350 families in its congregation. Rabbi Plotkin dedicated almost four decades to serving Temple Beth Israel, retiring in 1992 and assuming the title of rabbi emeritus.
Throughout his tenure, Rabbi Plotkin actively engaged in both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities in Phoenix. Despite the unpopularity of Zionism at Hebrew Union College during his time, he staunchly supported the movement and later became a devoted advocate for Israel. Additionally, he championed civil rights, supported the arts, played a key role in establishing the Jewish Studies Program at Arizona State University, taught there, and volunteered for 25 years as a chaplain at Phoenix Veterans Hospital. In 1972, the National Conference of Christians and Jews honored him with the National Award for Brotherhood.
Following his retirement in 1992, Rabbi Plotkin pursued a professional singing career with the Arizona Opera. Furthermore, he served the Jewish Community of Sedona from 1993 until they hired a full-time rabbi in 2005.

Not Tonight, Darling
|
Not Tonight, Darling, also styled as Not Tonight, Darling!, is a 1971 British drama film directed by Anthony Sloman and starring Luan Peters and Vincent Ball. It is also known as Not Now, Darling, not to be confused with Not Now Darling (1973).
Karen Williams is bored with her comfortable suburban life and her solicitor husband John who ignores her after six years of marriage. She falls for fast-talking businessman Alex, and becomes involved in a seedy world of blackmail and sex.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A miserable piece of British sexploitation, from which the sex itself has been all but censored away. The dross that remains – a ritual of mooning about from bathroom to bedroom to nightclub – tests endurance to the utmost. Luan Peters' performance as Karen just about rises above its essentially shabby context."
Kine Weekly wrote: "A routine little tale without any particular distinction, this will get by with the uncritical. ... The film falls short of quality on several counts. The plot itself is novelettish and the characters are, at the best, only stout cardboard, that of the stuffy young husband, John, being incredibly stupid. Jason Twelvetrees plays this unplayable part bravely without blanching at some dreadful lines, but he and his colleagues are not helped by direction that leaves no point unsharpened. Luan Peters creates some sympathy as the wife who goes off the rails, and Vincent Ball gives the best conviction to the nasty habits of Alex."

The Bus Collective
|
The Bus Collective is a resort hotel located at Changi Village in Singapore. Operated by local travel agency WTS Travel in partnership with the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Singapore Land Authority, it is the first hotel in Southeast Asia to be built using repurposed public buses, having been constructed using 20 decommissioned buses formerly operated by local bus operator SBS Transit. It held its grand opening on 5 November 2023, and started accepting guests on 1 December.
In 2022, SBS Transit (SBST) retired 97 Scania K230UB buses. This was due to a new agreement between SBST and the Land Transport Authority in relation to the transition of the Downtown MRT line to the New Rail Financing Framework Version 2, to replace older buses with newer ones.
According to Philip Raj, a hospitality consultant for WTS Travel, the idea for a hotel constructed out of retired buses came about during internal discussions on how to boost business amid a declining demand for travelling due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to find "a new way of getting guests to experience something different".
In July 2022, several ex-SBST Scania K230UBs were spotted in a parking lot at Keppel. These vehicles were owned by dealer agency RVS Allied Global at the time.
It would later be revealed that these buses were reserved for the tentatively-named "The Bus Resort". A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 28 August 2022, and was attended by Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Member of Parliament for East Coast GRC Maliki Osman. In total 20 buses were scheduled to be converted to hotel rooms.
The hotel, already renamed "The Bus Collective", held its grand opening on 5 November 2023, which was once again attended by Maliki, and started accepting bookings for 1 December onwards. Each bus received a exterior wrap, and all rooms are 45 square metres (480 sq ft) in size. Some original components from the buses were retained as features, such as the driver's cabin and windows. One of the rooms was also designed to be wheelchair-accessible.
The initial announcement of the concept of a bus resort received mixed responses from netizens. In a report by TODAY, some readers were put off by the reported price of S$300-S$400 per night. Netizens have also branded the concept as a "gimmick" and compared it to a trailer park. However, others praised the "eco-friendly" idea of repurposing retired buses and noted the success of a similar concept in Malaysia in which an abandoned bus was converted to a homestay accommodation. Some have also humorously asked whether they could pay for the stay using EZ-Link, which is a travel card used by many Singaporeans during their commute.
In two separate interviews with The Straits Times and CNBC, WTS Travel managing director Mickey Sia said that the company was keen to further expand the concept of repurposing retired buses to outlying islands such as Pulau Ubin, and that he also believed the concept "has the potential to resonate with audiences in other locations within the Asia Pacific region".

Hangar 18 (conspiracy theory)
|
In UFO conspiracy theories, "Hangar 18" is the name given to a building that allegedly contained UFO debris or alien bodies. The name was popularized by conspiracy theorist Robert Spencer Carr in 1974, who claimed the hangar was located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio; In actuality, no such building exists.
In 1980, a film titled Hangar 18 was released, loosely based on Carr's stories.
In 1966, UFO conspiracy book Incident at Exeter featured a one-sentence mention of a crashed saucer tale about alien bodies in an Air Force morgue at Wright-Patterson Field. The passage served as the inspiration for the 1968 science-fiction novel The Fortec Conspiracy about a UFO cover up by the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division, the unit charged with studying and reverse-engineering other nations' technical advancements.
On October 11, 1974, science-fiction author and UFO conspiracy theorist Robert Spencer Carr conducted a live radio interview where he publicly claimed that alien bodies recovered from the Aztec, NM crash were being kept at "Hangar 18" at Wright-Patterson. The claim garnered substantial press attention, and led to official denials. The Air Force explained that there is no "Hangar 18" at the base and noted Carr's claims bore a close similarity to the 1966 science-fiction novel The Fortec Conspiracy. During the interview, Carr also relayed a tale of Senator Barry Goldwater requesting and being denied access to a restricted area. Reached for comment, Goldwater admitted to having requested a tour and been denied, but Goldwater said he'd never heard any rumors of alien bodies.
By September 1979, Carr's claims included a surgical nurse who witnessed an alien's autopsy.
Decades later, Carr's son recalled that his father had been a habitual liar who often "mortified my mother and me by spinning preposterous stories in front of strangers... [tales of] befriending a giant alligator in the Florida swamps, and sharing complex philosophical ideas with porpoises in the Gulf of Mexico. It wasn't the tall tales themselves that hurt so much but his ferocious insistence that they were true.... They were dead serious, and you had by God better pretend you believed them or face wrath or rejection."
By the late 1980s, Bob Lazar's claims about Nevada's "Area 51" were also circulating in conspiracy theories as a supposed repository for alien debris, ships or bodies obtained by the US government.
In November 1979, local papers reported that Roswell was being location-scouted for an upcoming film titled Hangar 18. That film, which dramatized Carr's claims, was released in 1980; It was later described by Thomas E. Bullard as "nascent Roswell mythology", while the film's director James L. Conway later described the film as "a modern day dramaticzation of the Roswell incident".
"Hangar 18" was the title of a 1990 song by thrash metal band Megadeath. The 1995 Star Trek episode Little Green Men saw protagonists travelling back in time to 1947 where they are kept in Hangar 18. In 2002, a band called "Hangar 18" took their name from the UFO conspiracy theories.

1979 eruption of Mount Marapi
|
On 30 April 1979, Mount Marapi, a complex volcano on the Indonesian island of Sumatra and the most active complex volcano in West Sumatra province, erupted, killing between 80 and 100 people.
Due to its proximity to populated areas, the volcano is recognised as a significant hazard.
The 1979 eruption followed earthquakes and torrential rain. Due to either the rain or a gas explosion in the interior of the volcano, tons of rock broke out of the crater wall and rolled down the volcano's slopes. Mountain streams became blocked, causing floods that swept away roads, bridges, seven villages and hundreds of houses. Rice fields were buried under mud, uprooted trees and pieces of stone. In the village of Pasir Lawas [ceb], 20 bodies were found and 40 houses were destroyed by mud and boulders. Rescue work was hampered by extensive damage to roads, buildings and rice fields.
It was the second volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1979, after the 1979 eruption of Sinila crater of the Dieng Volcanic Complex on Java in February. On the plateau near the Sinila crater, 149 people died of gas poisoning in Pekisaran village.

Murder of Choo Xue Ying
|
On 16 October 2008, during a heated argument inside her car, 47-year-old Choo Xue Ying (朱雪莹 Zhū Xǔeyíng), alias Jennifer Choo, was assaulted to death by a business partner Rosli bin Yassin, and abandoned it at Bukit Batok Nature Park, where Choo's skeletal remains were discovered four days after her death. Rosli, who was later found to have committed cheating following the murder itself, was arrested and charged with killing Choo, and his girlfriend was also charged with abetting him to commit cheating. Rosli's murder charge was subsequently reduced to manslaughter, and after pleading guilty to the reduced charge and several other unrelated charges for cheating, Rosli was sentenced to 12 years of preventive detention on account of his long criminal record (since 1991), and subsequently, through the prosecution's appeal, Rosli's sentence of preventive detention was raised to the maximum of 20 years for the same reason, as well as due to his high risk of re-offending and his original sentence was manifestly inadequate.
On 20 October 2008, while he was jogging at Lorong Sesuai near Bukit Batok Nature Park, 57-year-old Samuel Lye detected an extremely foul smell, and as he followed the source of the odour, he made a gruesome discovery of a highly decomposed corpse located within the vegetation of the park's forest. Lye immediately reported the shocking discovery to the police. It was not the first case of such nature, as in 2000, a woman was raped and murdered in the same park.
A team of police investigators, led by Inspector Kelvin Kwok, arrived at the scene to check the corpse, but the identity of the body was unknown. Dr Paul Chui, a forensic pathologist, inspected the body and told the police that the deceased was a female, most likely aged between 25 and 45, and the probable cause of death was a severe injury he found on the skull, and it was inflicted with blunt force trauma, and he believed that based on the extremely high degree of decomposition, the woman had died for about four days. At that stage when the fingerprints cannot be lifted, Dr Chui said that only the teeth could help the police identify the deceased. At the scene, the police also discovered tyre marks located narrowly between each other and broken glass, which suggested a small vehicle likely belonged to the killer or victim, and there were signs that the body might have been brought here for disposal. The belongings of the deceased discovered were photographed and published on the press to seek any leads to ascertain her identity, which remained unidentified for the next few days. Her rings and jewellery were untouched at the time her body was found.
Upon further autopsy, it was found that the deceased had "a fair amount of dental work" done, as she had three dental implants, as well as crowning in one premolar tooth with root canal treatment administered on the same premolar tooth, and a metal filing in the neighbouring tooth. After consulting several dental experts, and obtaining the serial number and brand of the victim's dental implants (which belonged to a foreign brand with a Singapore branch), which belonged to a batch that was imported to Singapore between January and June 2007, the police managed to narrow down the list of clinics in Singapore, all of which received the batch of implants. After several days of investigation and consultations with the shortlisted dental clinics, a dentist operating at Sims Avenue, Dr Leslie Boey, identified the dental records of the deceased, which matched to the ones in his clinic database. The deceased, according to Dr Boey's record, was 47-year-old Choo Xue Ying, a Singaporean citizen and property agent working under Propnex.
Background profile of the late Choo Xue Ying, alias Jennifer Choo, revealed that she was single, and had two brothers and a mother who used to live at Sims Avenue, but they were not close, and she never contacted them for about six months before her death. Choo's brother said that his sister had gone to university before she joined the profession of a property agent, which she worked for years until her death. At the time she died, Choo was renting a room from her 82-year-old former neighbor and ex-client, Lu Zhen Zong, who told them that Choo moved into his Eunos flat months before her death and she treated him well and helped him do some household chores or make breakfast. Lu, who was saddened and shocked to hear about Choo's death, told them he last saw her about a week before the police arrived at his flat but he thought she was going on a business trip like she sometimes would. Choo's belongings were seized by the police for DNA testing and it was thus confirmed that the skeletal remains indeed belonged to Choo. Choo's colleagues noted she was a loner who did not speak to them much, and she had a few friends, and one of them from her workplace wrote a eulogy for her, describing her as a nice-mannered and beautiful person; she was also said to be a tough person. Later, Choo's car, a small, yellow Cherry QQ, was discovered abandoned at Jalan Kubor, and there were bloodstains with Choo's DNA inside the car, suggested that Choo was assaulted inside the car, and the broken glass found at the park were found to match the ones on Choo's car headlight.
Phone records were obtained from Choo's handphone, which was missing at the time her body was discovered, and it was found that the phone was still in use even after she died. The numbers dialed during that period were traced to three people: one of them was a 33-year-old Indonesian woman named Jelly, who was found to be an overstayer, another was a 51-year-old MRT station cleaner named Zubaidah binte Ali and a third was 46-year-old Adros bin Syed Omar. Both Zubaidah and Adros were interviewed by the police, and they both claimed that a man named "Ali" approached them. According to Zubaidah, Ali offered her a cleaning job at his company, and after they met a second time at a coffee shop, Ali left after borrowing her phone, and he never returned since, and the phone was missing. As for Adros, who was a friend of Ali and first met Ali in prison, he made a police report about Ali cheated him of his money, and he said Ali and his girlfriend, who was identified as Jelly, met Adros and wanted Adros to help him open a coffee shop, and also gave him cheques that were blank but contained signatures from Ali's lawyer as what Ali claimed. However, Adros was informed that the cheques were rejected due to the signatures were not the ones authorized. These cheques were later traced and they belonged to the alleged murder victim Choo Xue Ying, and the signatures were actually Choo's, but they were forged by Ali and Jelly. Ali and Jelly were thus classified as suspects for Choo's murder.
On 31 October 2008, after receiving intel that Ali and Jelly were hiding in Sentosa, the police arrested the couple at a hotel room. 49-year-old Ali, whose real name was Rosli bin Yassin, was charged with murder on 13 November 2008, and Jelly was charged for helping Rosli to commit cheating and forging Choo's cheques to help Rosli in his cheating scheme. Some of Rosli's cheating offences were also committed at least two months prior to the murder of Choo, who was an acquaintance of Rosli. Choo's brother, who reclaimed his sister's body for cremation and funeral proceedings, expressed that he was grateful and found closure with his sister's killer caught, in spite of the enstranged relationship.
Subsequently, Rosli was ordered to stand trial for murder after a preliminary hearing in September 2010, and the trial date was scheduled on 25 October 2010. If Rosli was found guilty of murder, he would be sentenced to death.
The following account was Rosli's version of events that led to the murder of Choo Xue Ying.
Rosli, who was released from prison in April 2008 for a cheating offence, first met Choo in July 2008, and they had a good working relationship, as Rosli would regularly introduce potential clients to Choo on dealings with property. According to Rosli, on the morning of 16 October 2008, Jelly and Rosli went to the Geylang East Community Library, where he met up with Choo for an upcoming business dealing. Jelly remained at the library after Choo and Rosli left the place and drove in Choo's car. As they were driving along Lorong Sesuai at Bukit Batok Nature Park, Choo and Rosli were allegedly arguing about a sum of S$500 that Choo owed to Rosli, and as the argument grew heated, Rosli grew angrier and therefore punched and kicked Choo inside the car, before it temporarily subsided with the pair agreeing to discuss the matter outside the car.
After alighting the car, Choo proclaimed she wanted to call the police and it led to Rosli assaulting Choo again and he also snatched Choo's mobile phone. This time round, Rosli punched and kicked Choo several times, and he also inflicted several blows to Choo's head, and Choo grew unconscious. The kicks caused by Rosli to her head resulted in traumatic head injuries that resulted in the eventual death of 47-year-old Choo Xue Ying. After abandoning Choo's body in the bushes of the park's forested area, Rosli drove away in Choo's car (which hit one of the trees in the process and caused the vehicle headlight to shatter) and abandoned it at Jalan Kubor, and he also stole Choo's handbag, phone and laptop (which Rosli sold for S$300), and Choo's cheques, which were used by Rosli and Jelly to cheat Adros.
In October 2010, 50-year-old Rosli bin Yassin stood trial at the High Court for one count of murdering Choo Xue Ying back in 2008. Jelly, Rosli's accomplice, was called to give evidence as the prosecution's key witness, and she testified about her knowledge that Rosli had killed Choo Xue Ying per his admission to her, although the defence tried to raise doubts over her reliability as a witness and pointed out how she lied on several occasions to the police, and accused her of being part of the murder when Choo was assaulted to death. At that point, Jelly was already in prison serving a jail term of 36 months for overstaying and abetting Rosli to cheat. Despite the defence's attempt to impeach Jelly as a witness, her evidence was still accepted by the trial court. Jelly, who was also fined S$3,000 for her role in Rosli's case, was subsequently repatriated to Indonesia after her release.
Subsequently, the trial was adjourned after two days of hearing. Before the resumption of Rosli's trial, the prosecution agreed to the defence's request to reduce the murder charge to one of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, also known as manslaughter in Singaporean legal terms, and Rosli therefore avoided the possibility of a death sentence for Choo's murder. The crime of manslaughter was punishable by either a jail term of up to 20 years, or life imprisonment. Rosli pleaded guilty to the manslaughter charge in September 2011, as well as several other charges of cheating, theft, criminal breach of trust and abetment of forgery. Rosli reportedly did not feel happy about escaping the gallows and proclaimed he rather be hanged than spending a long period behind bars.
During the submissions on sentence, Rosli's case was assessed to be suitable for preventive detention, a special type of imprisonment reserved for recalcitrant offenders above the age of 30 and with at least three antecedents since age 16, and does not allow the possibility of parole after two-thirds of the jail term even with good behaviour behind bars. Rosli's first conviction was dated back in 1991 when he was 31 years old, and since then, Rosli was repeatedly in and out of jail for about 16 offences including cheating, theft and forgery. In fact, this was not the first time Rosli faced a sentence of preventive detention; he was ordered in April 1999 to serve eight years of preventive detention for cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property, and had escaped during the final leg of his detention order, and he therefore spent the final period of the order and another jail term for his escape. Rosli himself also served 12 months' jail for cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property before his release in April 2008, from which point he committed a series of cheating crimes and finally the killing of Choo.
Bringing the case before Justice Woo Bih Li, who presided the sentencing hearing, the trial prosecutor Lau Wing Yum argued that Rosli should be sentenced to the maximum of 20 years' preventive detention. He argued that based on his long criminal record his latest spate of offences, which not only involved cheating but also resulted in the unlawful death of an innocent woman, Rosli was "a menace to society" and he also had a high risk of re-offending and exhibited no remorse for his actions, and thus Rosli should be given the maximum sentence of preventive detention for the protection of society for the longest period permitted under the law. Rosli's lawyer Wong Siew Hong did not dispute the prosecution's case against Rosli, but he argued that Rosli's risk of re-offending was only confined to non-violent offences and his killing of Choo was the first violent offence Rosli committed and it was uncharacteristic of him, and he was unlikely to commit violent offences upon his release. They also cited that Rosli did not have violent antecedents and his criminal record consisted of property offences, and the maximum preventive detention sentence was only reserved for recalcitrant offenders with violent antecedents, claimed trial, or possessed a very long criminal history, and Rosli was not one of those fitting the criteria, and hence, his preventive detention order should be less than 20 years. Aside from this, clinical psychiatrist Dr Tommy Tan found that Rosli had mild mental retardation, lack of remorse, impulsive behaviour, lack of social and familial support and lack of occupational skills, which contributed to his high-level recalcitrance.
On 11 May 2012, Justice Woo delivered his sentencing verdict. He found that the aggravating circumstances of Rosli's case, like the high possibility of recidivism during his post-release, his long criminal history and the lack of remorse, were sufficient to call for a sentence of preventive detention, and since Rosli repeatedly commit property offences against many innocent people, he was considered a menace to society, and noted that Rosli's non-violent criminality had evolved into the act of killing another person, which was a huge concern posed to the court. Still, Justice Woo noted that it was uncharacteristic of Rosli to exhibit violence and commit crimes of such nature, and his risk of re-offending was only confined to cheating and other property-related crimes. He also pointed out that Rosli's conduct of disposing of Choo's body was callous and his use of Choo's cheques to cheat more people was corroborative of Rosli's remorseless behaviour.
Justice Woo referred to precedent cases of preventive detention sentences, and he decided that the maximum period of 20 years' preventive detention was manifestly excessive due to Rosli not having prior history of violent offences like those precedent cases, and some other extenuating circumstances in favour of Rosli. He also took into account Rosli's time of remand before his trial, and therefore, he sentenced Rosli to preventive detention for 12 years, and the sentence was to take effect from the date of his sentencing.
On 15 January 2013, the prosecution appealed against Rosli's jail term of 12 years, and after hearing it, the Court of Appeal's three judges - Judges of Appeal Chao Hick Tin, Andrew Phang and V K Rajah - allowed the appeal and ruled that Rosli should be sentenced to the maximum of 20 years' preventive detention.
In their full grounds of decision in March 2013, the Court of Appeal accepted the prosecution's arguments that Rosli was a menace to society and his original sentence of 12 years was manifestly inadequate. They conceded that while Rosli's killing of Choo was his first violent offence and it was uncharacteristic of him, but they stated that it was extremely worrying that Rosli's non-violent criminal conduct had escalated into the taking of a human life, which the judges described as "one of the most egregious and blameworthy crimes on the books", and felt that it was irrelevant to determine whether it was uncharacteristic or not for him to do so. They also found that Rosli "lacked remorse and was incorrigible", since he had used Choo's cheques to commit more cheating offences before he was caught, and also based on his psychiatric report.
Furthermore, the appellate judges observed that Rosli did not have any strong familial support, given that Rosli was not in contact with his ex-wife and children, and was not close to his other relatives, and he had a lack of pro-social peers. Given that Rosli himself had no marketable skills and was of advanced age, there was a low chance he would be gainfully employed after his release and he might return to a life of crime as the only means to support himself financially. They cited the fact that Rosli was unable to stay out of prison for periods of more than ten months since his first conviction in 1991, and the previous jail terms, including Rosli's first preventive detention of eight years in 1999, was little rehabilitative effect on him, which supported his high propensity to commit another crime.
On these grounds, the Court of Appeal amended Rosli's sentence of 12 years to the maximum of 20 years' preventive detention. Rosli is currently serving his jail term at Changi Prison since the end of the prosecution's appeal.
In 2013, Singaporean crime show Crimewatch re-enacted the case of Choo Xue Ying's murder and the subsequent cheating crimes of Rosli. The episode also depicted the process of the investigators finding out her identity with the help of her dental records.
In 2013, Singaporean crime show In Cold Blood also re-enacted the case as the 11th episode of the show's third and final season. The names of Choo and Rosli were changed to Mindy and Raffi respectively to protect their identities; Choo, who was portrayed by Singaporean actress Wendy Toh, was depicted to be younger and prettier than her real-life counterpart, and when her body was found, it was not in a highly decomposed state and not a skeleton in comparison to the discovery of her body in real life. Also, in this re-enactment, Rosli was depicted to have one elder brother, although it was not known if Rosli had any siblings in real life.
Liz Porter, a crime writer from Australia, included Rosli bin Yassin's case in her 2017 real-life crime book Crime Scene Asia: When Forensic Evidence Becomes the Silent Witness. The book was about murder cases from Asia that were solved through forensic evidence; these recorded cases came from Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
In June 2022, local writer Foo Siang Luen wrote the second volume of his real-life crime book Justice Is Done, which was published by the Singapore Police Force (including a digital download-for-free e-book version) 17 years after Foo wrote the first volume. The book recorded some of the gruesome murder cases encountered and solved by police throughout the years between 2005 and 2016, and the 2008 case of Choo Xue Ying's death was recorded as one of these cases covered in the book.

Dr Paul Chui, a forensic pathologist, inspected the body and told the police that the deceased was a female, most likely aged between 25 and 45, and the probable cause of death was a severe injury he found on the skull, and it was inflicted with blunt force trauma, and he believed that based on the extremely high degree of decomposition, the woman had died for about four days. At that stage when the fingerprints cannot be lifted, Dr Chui said that only the teeth could help the police identify the deceased. At the scene, the police also discovered tyre marks located narrowly between each other and broken glass, which suggested a small vehicle likely belonged to the killer or victim, and there were signs that the body might have been brought here for disposal. The belongings of the deceased discovered were photographed and published on the press to seek any leads to ascertain her identity, which remained unidentified for the next few days. Her rings and jewellery were untouched at the time her body was found.",

After consulting several dental experts, and obtaining the serial number and brand of the victim's dental implants (which belonged to a foreign brand with a Singapore branch), which belonged to a batch that was imported to Singapore between January and June 2007, the police managed to narrow down the list of clinics in Singapore, all of which received the batch of implants. After several days of investigation and consultations with the shortlisted dental clinics, a dentist operating at Sims Avenue, Dr Leslie Boey, identified the dental records of the deceased, which matched to the ones in his clinic database. The deceased, according to Dr Boey's record, was 47-year-old Choo Xue Ying, a Singaporean citizen and property agent working under Propnex.",

Choo's brother said that his sister had gone to university before she joined the profession of a property agent, which she worked for years until her death. At the time she died, Choo was renting a room from her 82-year-old former neighbor and ex-client, Lu Zhen Zong, who told them that Choo moved into his Eunos flat months before her death and she treated him well and helped him do some household chores or make breakfast. Lu, who was saddened and shocked to hear about Choo's death, told them he last saw her about a week before the police arrived at his flat but he thought she was going on a business trip like she sometimes would. Choo's belongings were seized by the police for DNA testing and it was thus confirmed that the skeletal remains indeed belonged to Choo. Choo's colleagues noted she was a loner who did not speak to them much, and she had a few friends, and one of them from her workplace wrote a eulogy for her, describing her as a nice-mannered and beautiful person; she was also said to be a tough person. Later, Choo's car, a small, yellow Cherry QQ, was discovered abandoned at Jalan Kubor, and there were bloodstains with Choo's DNA inside the car, suggested that Choo was assaulted inside the car, and the broken glass found at the park were found to match the ones on Choo's car headlight.",

Both Zubaidah and Adros were interviewed by the police, and they both claimed that a man named \"Ali\" approached them. According to Zubaidah, Ali offered her a cleaning job at his company, and after they met a second time at a coffee shop, Ali left after borrowing her phone, and he never returned since, and the phone was missing. As for Adros, who was a friend of Ali and first met Ali in prison, he made a police report about Ali cheated him of his money, and he said Ali and his girlfriend, who was identified as Jelly, met Adros and wanted Adros to help him open a coffee shop, and also gave him cheques that were blank but contained signatures from Ali's lawyer as what Ali claimed. However, Adros was informed that the cheques were rejected due to the signatures were not the ones authorized. These cheques were later traced and they belonged to the alleged murder victim Choo Xue Ying, and the signatures were actually Choo's, but they were forged by Ali and Jelly.

Jelly remained at the library after Choo and Rosli left the place and drove in Choo's car. As they were driving along Lorong Sesuai at Bukit Batok Nature Park, Choo and Rosli were allegedly arguing about a sum of S$500 that Choo owed to Rosli, and as the argument grew heated, Rosli grew angrier and therefore punched and kicked Choo inside the car, before it temporarily subsided with the pair agreeing to discuss the matter outside the car.",

Rosli pleaded guilty to the manslaughter charge in September 2011, as well as several other charges of cheating, theft, criminal breach of trust and abetment of forgery.

Rosli's first conviction was dated back in 1991 when he was 31 years old, and since then, Rosli was repeatedly in and out of jail for about 16 offences including cheating, theft and forgery. In fact, this was not the first time Rosli faced a sentence of preventive detention; he was ordered in April 1999 to serve eight years of preventive detention for cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property, and had escaped during the final leg of his detention order, and he therefore spent the final period of the order and another jail term for his escape. Rosli himself also served 12 months' jail for cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property before his release in April 2008, from which point he committed a series of cheating crimes and finally the killing of Choo.",

He argued that based on his long criminal record his latest spate of offences, which not only involved cheating but also resulted in the unlawful death of an innocent woman, Rosli was \"a menace to society\" and he also had a high risk of re-offending and exhibited no remorse for his actions, and thus Rosli should be given the maximum sentence of preventive detention for the protection of society for the longest period permitted under the law. Rosli's lawyer Wong Siew Hong did not dispute the prosecution's case against Rosli, but he argued that Rosli's risk of re-offending was only confined to non-violent offences and his killing of Choo was the first violent offence Rosli committed and it was uncharacteristic of him, and he was unlikely to commit violent offences upon his release. They also cited that Rosli did not have violent antecedents and his criminal record consisted of property offences, and the maximum preventive detention sentence was only reserved for recalcitrant offenders with violent antecedents, claimed trial, or possessed a very long criminal history, and Rosli was not one of those fitting the criteria, and hence, his preventive detention order should be less than 20 years. Aside from this, clinical psychiatrist Dr Tommy Tan found that Rosli had mild mental retardation, lack of remorse, impulsive behaviour, lack of social and familial support and lack of occupational skills, which contributed to his high-level recalcitrance.",

He found that the aggravating circumstances of Rosli's case, like the high possibility of recidivism during his post-release, his long criminal history and the lack of remorse, were sufficient to call for a sentence of preventive detention, and since Rosli repeatedly commit property offences against many innocent people, he was considered a menace to society, and noted that Rosli's non-violent criminality had evolved into the act of killing another person, which was a huge concern posed to the court. Still, Justice Woo noted that it was uncharacteristic of Rosli to exhibit violence and commit crimes of such nature, and his risk of re-offending was only confined to cheating and other property-related crimes. He also pointed out that Rosli's conduct of disposing of Choo's body was callous and his use of Choo's cheques to cheat more people was corroborative of Rosli's remorseless behaviour.",

They cited the fact that Rosli was unable to stay out of prison for periods of more than ten months since his first conviction in 1991, and the previous jail terms, including Rosli's first preventive detention of eight years in 1999, was little rehabilitative effect on him, which supported his high propensity to commit another crime.",

Lavera Refinery
|
Lavéra Refinery is an oil refinery complex located 30 miles west of Marseilles, France, on the Mediterranean Sea. It is currently operated by Petroineos.
The Lavéra valley, known until the early 1950's locally as "L’Avéra", received its first Oil installations during the 1920's, when the Société générale des Huiles de Pétrole (SGHP), selected the area to install a number of storage tanks and an import terminal connected to the nearby railwaysutilising principally British capital.
The SGHP later built the Lavéra Refinery at the same location, inaugurated the 3rd October 1933 to complement the Berre Refinery (built in 1931), with the La Mède Refinery then following in 1935.
Lavéra initially consisted of a storage tankage area located on the western side, with the eastern part containing the process Units, and the Offices, warehouses on the northern side. In 1954 SGHP became the Société Française des Pétroles British Petroleum (SFBP), owned by the British Petroleum Company and later known as BP.
After World War 2 the Marseille "Chambre de Commerce" decided to expand the facilities, opening a new Port in 1952, which consisted of a pair of two-berth jetties to receive deep-sea vessels of 40 to 50,000 tonnes. A third jetty was later added in 1958, and the three étang de Berre Refineries were also connected by pipelines.
During the early 1950s a petrochemical plant was commissioned adjacent the existing Refinery, to utilise available feedstock from refinery byproduct streams.
Initially sized to process up to 400,000 tonnes of Crude annually, following the 1973 Oil Crisis Lavéra Refinery underwent significant expansion and doubled its footprint, to eventually process today's almost 10 million tonnes per annum of Crude.
In 2004, BP decided to divest its worldwide olefins and derivatives business: the sale included the Refinery and connected petrochemicals complex, and in 2005 the new company created to run this business was named Innovene, which later that same year was purchased by Ineos, the largest privately owned chemicals company then based in the UK.
Ineos Refining, which included both the Lavéra and Grangemouth |(located on the Firth of Forth in Scotland) Refineries, in 2011 entered into a 50/50% joint venture with the Chinese state oil company Petrochina, to form Petroineos.
The annual capacity of the refinery is approximately 210,000 barrels per day, equating to around 10 million tonnes.
Finished Products such as Motor Gasoline, Diesels, Kerosene, Jet fuel, Fuel Oils, Bitumens are then exported by Road, Rail and Ship.
Exports can also be made via the SPMR ("Société des Pipelines Méditerranée-Rhône", commissioned in 1968) Pipeline to depots in the Côte d'Azur, the Rhône valley, in the Alps and in Switzerland.

Industrial Christian Fellowship
|
The Industrial Christian Fellowship (ICF) is a British Christian organization which aims to promote Christian faith and values in the workplace.
Elizabeth Garnett, missionary to navvies, co-founded the Navvy Mission Society in 1877, along with the Rev. Lewis Moule Evans. This missionary effort was funded by Garnett's "navvy novels", beginning with Little Rainbow, published in 1877. The mission grew, supplying missionaries to the navvies, libraries for the navvies' camps, soup kitchens, and savings banks.
The Rev. Henry Scott Holland, at the inspiration of the Most Rev. Edward White Benson, gathered a group together, to found the Christian Social Union in 1889. This organization was dedicated to investigating the causes of, and alleviating the problems of, poverty and other forms of social injustice.
The two organizations, having common aims of social welfare and justice, merged in 1919, to form the Industrial Christian Fellowship. The new organization set its sights on bettering the world through "all forms of work".

Wolfgang Meier
|
Wolfgang Meier (8 November 1878 in Freuenornau, Obertaufkirchen - 22 February 1945 in Dachau concentration camp), was a German farmer who temporarily hid Augustin Rösch.
Meier grew up on the Marx am Holz farm (Schwindkirchen) near Grüngiebing, which he also took over as a farmer. In the 1930s, he bought the castle-building property in Hofgiebing on a life annuity. With his wife Theresia Schellhammer (1879–1953), Meier had fourteen children, three of whom died in infancy. Meier was also a sacristan in Hofgiebing. Since he was considered reliable, he was asked to take in the Jesuit priest Augustin Rösch, who was hidden in Moosen Monastery, in his estate in Hofgiebing.
In September 1944, Rösch was taken to Hofgiebing and hidden on the first or second floor of the house, where he was hidden from neighbours and guests. However, the hiding place was betrayed to the Gestapo. Rösch, along with other clergymen, was deported to Munich and then to Berlin, while Meier – together with his children – was taken to the Dachau concentration camp. According to the official account, Meier died of typhus there on February 22, 1945. His children, on the other hand, survived their imprisonment in concentration camps.
The parish hall in Schwindkirchen is called the Wolfgang-Meier-Haus in his memory. In 1999, the Catholic Church admitted Wolfgang Meier as a witness to the faith in the German Martyrology of the 20th Century.

Wolfgang Meier, was a German farmer who temporarily hid Augustin Rösch. Meier grew up on the Marx am Holz farm (Schwindkirchen) near Grüngiebing, which he also took over as a farmer. In the 1930s, he bought the castle-building property in Hofgiebing on a life annuity. With his wife Theresia Schellhammer (1879–1953), Meier had fourteen children, three of whom died in infancy. Meier was also a sacristan in Hofgiebing. Since he was considered reliable, he was asked to take in the Jesuit priest Augustin Rösch, who was hidden in Moosen Monastery, in his estate in Hofgiebing. In September 1944, Rösch was taken to Hofgiebing and hidden on the first or second floor of the house, where he was hidden from neighbours and guests. However, the hiding place was betrayed to the Gestapo. Rösch, along with other clergymen, was deported to Munich and then to Berlin, while Meier – together with his children – was taken to the Dachau concentration camp. According to the official account, Meier died of typhus there on February 22, 1945. His children, on the other hand, survived their imprisonment in concentration camps.

Three-Bodied Daemon (ACMA 35)
|
The Three-Bodied Daemon (Greek: Τρισώματος Δαίμων) or the Three-Bodied Monster is an ancient Greek sculpture in typical early Archaic period style, once part of the west pediment of the Hekatompedon temple in the Acropolis of Athens. Today it is housed in the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece. It is made of limestone, and it is remarkable for the large amount of colour pigment on it that has survived.
This sculpture, along with two more groups (one of Heracles fighting the sea-god Triton, and one of lions devouring a bull), was part of the decoration of one of the two pediments of the Hekatompedon, most likely the western one, and was created around 570 BC, during the early Archaic period. Most fragments were found in 1888 to the east and southeast of the Parthenon, and were welded and restored with plaster.
The sculpture depicts a large, male figure wth three naked bodies. All three bodies are bearded, and seem to share a single, large tail. To their right a figure, their opponent, survives. The three bearded figures hold items in their hands that can be assigned to each of the four natural elements; a lightning bolt (fire), waves (water) and a bird (air), while their long, swirling tail symbolizes the earth, though no further conclusion can be achieved. The objects are all held in their left hands; out of the three right hands, only one survives, and it does not seem to be holding anything. The item is made of a sort of porous limestone (porolithus), and measures 3,35 m. in length and 79 cm in height.
All sculptures of the Hekatompedon pediments are excellent examples of coloured ancient Greek sculptures which have retained some if not most of their painting over the centuries, as the bright decoration has survived on the limestone, unlike the paint on the marble pediments of the Parthenon.
The first head and body of Typhon has many traces of the red color which was used to paint his flesh, particularly visible on the chest. The areola is brown, while his hair and beard are red-black. The eyelids have black rings, indicating the eyelashes, likewise the eyebrows are also black. The two large and shallow round cavities that make up his eyes are red, with light green irises. The second boy's skin is likewise reddish, with colour remaining on the chest and left halve of the face. The beard is again reddish black, but now no trace of colour survives on his hair. Eyelids and eyebrows are also black, but the paint has faded off the irises. The third body is more or less the same.
In second middle body we see a very red color of the flesh, especially on the chest and on the left half of the face. Deep blue was again saved in the beard, but no trace of it in the crown. Eyelids and eyebrows are black again, but the pupil is no longer distinguishable. In the third body no color can be distinguished, and the numerous remains per head are enumerated in the vicinity. The visible form of this wing is, on the upper part, smooth and of a dark blue color, on the lower part, lines are incised, i.e., the wings, which seem to have been alternately colored and uncolored, so that either one row showed red or the other black-green coloring, so that probably as often observed arose afterwards from the blue. The serpentine form's tail show a red band running along the length of it between two black-blue ones, with one in the natural color of the stone.
The first two human heads of Typhon from the left are not carved from the same piece of limestone as the rest of the massive body but from other pieces. His third head was similarly inlaid, but because the upper part of the body was destroyed and filled in with plaster, it is unclear whether the head belongs to this body or to different but similar one. Other parts were similarly added, like part of the right wing, for the fastening of which three holes were opened in a line, or the forearm of the Zeus figure, so that now it has a smooth cross-sectional surface, but without holes with infused lead. To fix them, holes (as seen in the arm and shoulders of the monster) were made, 6-7 millimeters wide, in order to preserve the lead. Two of them, certainly belonging to this group, are located on the right forearm of the middle body.
It is not clear which mythological character the sculpture represents. It has been suggested that it could be the shapeshifting sea-god Nereus, or the serpentine monster Typhon, who once attacked the Olympians. If it is Typhon, then the red-clad figure to his right must be Zeus, the god who defeated him. It was assumed to be Typhon due to the analogy with a red-figure base, but as it has been pointed out, the vase depicts a single-bodied individual, and his benignant expression has no parallel with the battle scene depicted on the vase. The Athenian playwright Euripides in his tragedy Heracles does however describe Typhon as having three bodies.
Furtwangler suggested that the figure is supposed to be the Tritopatores, whom he took to be benevolent wind deities connected to childbirth, based on the tri- ("three") prefix of their name. However there is no evidence that the Tritopatores were depicted as three bodies with a single tail, and were rather three separate beings.

Chandon Roy
|
Chandon Roy (Bengali: চন্দন রায়; born 4 May 2007) is a Bangladeshi professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Bangladesh Premier League club Sheikh Russel KC, on loan from BFF Elite Academy.
Chandon was born in Amnagar village of Nilphamari Sadar. While still in seventh grade he was trained in the Academy of District Sports Association. In 2019, he came to Dhaka with Chamir Uddin School and College to participate in the Clear Men U-17 Football Championship, where 272 schools across the country participated. After his school finished in third-place, Chandon was selected among the best six players of the tournament, securing an opportunity to practice with English club Manchester City. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic his trip to Manchester was canceled. Initially opposed to his decision to pursue football as a career, Chandon's father, Gaurang Roy, changed his stance in February 2021 when Chandon successfully trialed for the BFF Elite Football Academy.
After passing trials at the BFF Elite Football Academy, Chandon made his professional league debut in the 2021–22 Bangladesh Championship League, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute against NoFeL SC in the academy's inaugural league game on 20 February 2022. He was part of the Starting XI for the first time on 3 March 2022 in a 2–0 victory over Gopalganj SC. Chandon was made vice-captain during the second phase of the league and also served as captain during games against AFC Uttara and Agrani Bank SC. Chandon came on as a substitute during all three games in the 2022–23 Independence Cup. He was ever-present in the Elite Academy team during the 2022–23 Bangladesh Championship League and also captained them during four games when main captain, Imran Khan, was injured.
On 26 August 2023, Chandon made Bangladeshi football history by becoming the first player to transfer clubs through an auction, joining Sheikh Russel KC for Tk 9 lakh on a season-long loan. On 27 October 2023, he made his debut for the club against Rahmatganj MFS in the 2023–24 Independence Cup. He played 90 minutes in all three fixtures in the tournament as Sheikh Russel failed to advance past the group-stages, however, it was enough for Chandon to get his maiden Bangladesh national team callup.
On 5 September 2022, Chandon made his debut for the Bangladesh U17 team during a 5–1 victory against Sri Lanka U17 in the 2022 SAFF U-17 Championship. He also played in the 2023 AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualifiers held in Dhaka. In the same year, Chandon was allowed to train with the senior national team as a guest player, after impressing coach, Javier Cabrera. In 2023, he represented the Bangladesh U20 team during a disappointing 2023 SAFF U-19 Championship campaign.
On 5 November 2023, he earned his first callup to the Bangladesh national team as part of a 30-member preliminary squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round.
After being selected as one of the best six players of the Clear Men U-17 Football Championship, he was compared to Bangladesh national team captain Jamal Bhuyan. Chandon's coach in Sheikh Russel KC and former national team midfielder, Abdul Baten Komol, has praised his positioning sense and ability to read the games pace. His coaches in the BFF Elite Academy have also stated that, although Chandon possesses potential, his first touch needs improvement if he wishes to become a senior international.

Robert Inglis (merchant)
|
Robert Inglis (died 1655) was a merchant and financier of Scottish origin working in London in the first half of the 17th-century.
Robert Inglis's family owned property in Galloway and Ayrshire, and his grandfather John Inglis was the church minister of Ochiltree. His father, John Inglis, was a merchant burgess in Edinburgh, and had been an apprentice of a skinner, Robert Vernor. Robert Inglis inherited lands at Lochtoun in the barony of Ravenstone or Remistoun in Wigtownshire.
Robert Inglis's mother, Sara Fowler, was a granddaughter of the wealthy Edinburgh moneylender Janet Fockart, and her second husband, William Fowler (died 1572), an Edinburgh merchant with a business selling textiles. Sara Fowler's great uncle, the poet William Fowler, was a secretary to Anne of Denmark, wife of James VI and I. The poet William Drummond of Hawthornden was her cousin.
Inglis was involved in the finances of aristocrats, particularly those who had acquired lands both in England and Scotland, including the Countess of Home, and her sons-in-law, the Earls of Moray and Lauderdale. Inglis helped William Kerr, 1st Earl of Lothian buy paintings for Newbattle Abbey, including works by George Geldorp.
In June 1643, Inglis came to Glasgow in connection with a disputed cargo of "rich commodities", tobacco, and salt hides. He got into an argument on the street. Colin Campbell called him a rascal and "douped him on the breast". The case was referred to the Privy Council of Scotland.
In January 1646, Inglis lent £100 to James Hope, who was making a trip to Europe to research lead mining technology and to see Elizabeth of Bohemia at The Hague. Inglis was an agent of the Goldsmith's Hall and was able to obtain cash in gold. He was able to give cash in London to holders of "letters of exchange". In September 1646, Thomas Hope wrote to his son-in-law, Charles Erskine of Cambuskenneth, who was in London buying items for Hope's daughter Lady Cardross, that he had sent a letter of exchange for him to present to Inglis. Inglis could exchange letters or bills of exchange with other merchant financiers, including John Clerk (first) of Penicuik. A bill made in Edinburgh could be cashed in Paris by a third party.
During the 1640s, Inglis was involved in loans and financing of public commissions sent from Edinburgh to London. He stood security as a guarantor for loans made by William Dick of Braid in 1644, and he was on occasion Dick's factor in London. Inglis obtained money for provisions and gold on bills of exchange to pay the Scottish army of the Solemn League and Covenant. In May 1644, he accepted £7,300 from the Countess of Home as a loan to balance gold sent to the Scottish army in Ireland at Carrickfergus. The soldier Sir John Ruthven was involved in this financial transaction.
At the time of the "Engagement", in December 1647, Inglis received letters from Scotland for Elizabeth Maxwell, Countess of Lanark. A list of cipher names compiled by James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose around the year 1648 includes a note about correspondence to be left with "Robert Inglis, Merchand of London, at London stone". The London Stone was a landmark at Cannon Street.
When the Earl of Lauderdale was declared "delinquent" in 1648, his furnishings in London and Highgate were forfeited and given to John Ireton and William Geere, despite counter-claims that the furniture belonged to his daughter Mary Maitland or had been sold to Robert Inglis.
In March 1649, Inglis received the sum of £13,837 6s 8d. for managing the expenses of the Scottish commissioners at the trial of Charles I.
Robert Inglis died in London in 1655. Further details of his property and business transactions were registered in the records of the Edinburgh Commissary Court, including bonds from the merchant John Clerk, and from Prudence Stock, a widow who held a freehold in Chelsea, and was a partner in Lady Lane of Horton's Charity.
John Clerk wrote bills of exchange involving Inglis and another Scottish merchant in London, John Jossy or Jousie. He was a relative of the textile merchant Robert Jousie who had been involved in Scottish crown finance. With John Jousie, in 1639, Inglis was appointed to be an executor of the will of Robert Johnstone LL.D., a historian and a benefactor of George Heriot's School. Johnstone, the Lombard Street goldsmith William Terry, and the French-born apothecary Gideon DeLaune had been the executors of the goldsmith George Heriot, who made a bequest to found a school in Edinburgh. Johnstone appointed the courtier and architect David Cunningham of Auchenharvie to be overseer of his own will.
These families were closely connected. David Cunningham of Auchenharvie was a cousin of David Cunningham of Robertland, who married Elizabeth Jousie, widow of the goldsmith James Heriot, a brother of George Heriot. The younger Robert Jousie, a courtier and Yeoman of the Robes, had carried jewels to Spain for Prince Charles in 1623.
Robert Inglis married Christian Udwart, a daughter of Nicoll Udwart (the younger) and Katherine Balcanquhall, a daughter of the minister Walter Balcanquhall. Her brother, also called Walter Balcanquhall, was Dean of Rochester and a friend of George Heriot. Their marriage contract was made on 18 January 1628. Nicoll Uddert and Sara Fouler settled the sums of 10,000 and 18,000 merks in Scottish money on the couple.
In London, they lived in Walbrook Ward, and Inglis claimed a coat of arms. Christian Inglis was involved in her husband's business, and was authorised to issue money drawn on letters of credit when her husband was not in London. Thomas Hope called her "Christian Inglis", and her husband's will names her as "Christiane Edward alias Ingles". Usually, women in early modern Scotland did not change their surnames to that of their husband on marriage.

Bust of Edward VII, Kuala Lumpur
|
A bust of Edward VII (9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) stands in the courtyard of the National Museum of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The bronze bust of Edward VII was created by English sculptor Arthur Stanley Young as a memorial to the late King. It was transported from London to Kuala Lumpur on 30 December 1911, and erected in front of the Government Offices (now Sultan Abdul Samad Building). On 16 April 1912 it was unveiled by Lady Brockman, wife of Edward Brockman, then Chief Secretary to the Government of the Federated Malay States, at a ceremony attended by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Allaeddin Sulaiman Shah.
During the Second World War, the bust was removed by the Public Works Department for safekeeping, and was returned to its former position in 1945. On 12 December 1964, the bust was moved to the nearby National Museum of Malaysia.

Varunika Saraf
|
Varunika Saraf (born 19 December, 1981 in Nagpur, Maharashtra) is an Indian contemporary painter who seeks to bare the reality of violence.
Central to her practice since 2001 is the use of wasli, a surface created by the Mughal technique of binding together layers of paper. Saraf modifies the original scale and form of this technique and adapts it to her artistic requirements. On to this surface, she casts deposits of colour, each layer built-up by different washes of watercolours ground from natural and synthetic pigments by Saraf herself. The surfaces are further enhanced by the use of dyeing, appliqueing, collage, embroidery, and block-printing
Major exhibitions
Her work is regularly presented at Art Basel (Basel. Hong Kong), Art Dubai and India Art Fair. She has been a part of several other solo and group exhibitions in India and abroad. Saraf is represented by Chemould Prescott Gallery, Mumbai.
Varunika Saraf's works are a part of the collections at KNMA, New Delhi; Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai; Kasturbhai Lalbhai Museum and Sarmaya Foundation.
Saraf received an Honourable Mention from the Sharjah Biennial Prize jury for her series ‘We, The People’ which was a part of the Sharjah Biennale 15 Thinking Historically in the Present. She was also awarded the Asia Society Gamechanger Award (Asia Arts Future Award), 2023, Kashi Award for Visual Arts (KAVA2), 2006 and Shri. SL Parasher Gold Medal, University of Hyderabad, 2006.

According to the 2022 census, the sector had a total population of 59,747 inhabitants. These are its Gender demographics:
The Rwanda Environment Management Authority hypothesised that the high male-to-female ratio was due to a tendency for men to migrate to the city in search of work outside the agricultural sector, while their wives remained in a rural home.

Dracthyr
|
The dracthyr are a fictional race of anthropomorphic dragons in the Warcraft franchise. They were introduced as a playable race in the 2022 World of Warcraft expansion, Dragonflight, with the only class available being the Evoker, a type of shaman that draws power from nature to cast magic. Unlike the game's other races, they are capable of flight and aerial combat. Hybrids of human and dragon, they can switch back and forth between a humanoid "visage" form and a full dragon form, or remain permanently as a dragon. They were praised by critics for the drastic gameplay changes they added to the game, and were seen as significantly modernizing an otherwise dated title. However, they were criticized for a lack of customization while in dragon form, with most armors looking similar without turning back into a human.
The dracthyr were created by Neltharion, an ancient dragon and the former Aspect of the black dragonflight, who later became a villain known as Deathwing. Neltharion combined humans and the power of all five dragonflights in order to form the ideal soldier. They were placed into stasis for almost 20 millennia after Neltharion lost control of the dracthyr following a battle against the Primalists, a faction who oppose the dragons. The return of the Primalists causes the dracthyr to reawaken, and they are compelled to join either the Alliance or Horde factions in the present day.
While the dracthyr are able to take on human appearances to better blend in with the other races of Azeroth, they also possess draconic forms that can resemble any of the five dragonflights. Dracthyr Evokers are able to specialize in two schools of magic, Devastation and Preservation, focused on damage-dealing and healing, respectively. Devastation uses the destructive abilities of the red and blue dragonflights, while Preservation draws from the green and bronze dragonflights with nature magic and time manipulation. Dracthyr can "empower" spells by charging them in order to intensify or change their effect.
While the Evoker class is the only one currently available to dracthyr characters, Blizzard expressed an interest in adding more classes to the race over time. Associate game director Morgan Day stated that while the dracthyr were just waking up and discovering their abilities, in the future they might learn skills from the other denizens of Azeroth, enabling different combat styles.
The new abilities manifested by the dracthyr were generally praised and seen as modernizing the game. John Carson of Game Informer lauded the empowerment mechanic as adding elements of more modern MMOs like Lost Ark, further stating that "the fantasy of becoming a dragon race and having a class built around the skills and abilities inherent to the species is unique within World of Warcraft and is flavorfully magnificent". Ryan Gilliam of Polygon called the class "impressively modern", describing the dracthyr as "surprisingly mobile" and "flashy". He summed up the experience of playing the class as "exciting" and "uniquely Warcraft". Len Hafer of PC Gamer said that the dracthyr made World of Warcraft feel like a different game, calling their aerial maneuvers "completely bonkers" and saying that they made "Azeroth feel new again". He described the race as "almost the culmination of what the ideal Warcraft experience is meant to be: It's fun, it's flashy, it's excessive, and it's kinda silly". While noting that the lore behind the race was "muddled", he nevertheless stated that their new mechanical elements made up for it, and that their ability design made him feel like he was "playing a much snappier action game than WoW truly is under the hood".
One criticized aspect of the dracthyr was their lack of customization compared to other characters. Fraser Brown of PC Gamer recommended that players use the "Chosen Identity" skill to maintain human form outside battle, saying that it made existing armor sets work better and reminded players that they were a shapeshifter. Their human form having unique gameplay benefits was also controversial, with Lauren Bergin of PCGamesN stating that she was "a little deflated" that it offered an extra healing buff, as she preferred the dragon form. She noted that many fans continued to play permanently as a dragon regardless, calling it "part of the class fantasy to be a dragon".
Oli Welsh of Polygon, while still believing the race was fun to play as, nevertheless called the dracthyr an "afterthought", saying that they were "clearly invented to fill a hole", in contrast to other races, and noting that "their introductory story bends over backwards to explain why they have never been mentioned before". Also calling their appearance "conventional" and "somewhat anodyne", he described it as "cosplay-ready" and "with a hint of the furry about it", expressing his wish that it had been more "genre-bending" and "distinctive" like the draenei or worgen. Similarly, he described the class's skills as lacking the same uniqueness as other races in the game, saying that "you could easily imagine it popping up in any other fantasy game".

One More Saturday Night (The Halluci Nation album)
|
One More Saturday Night is the fourth studio album by Canadian electronic music group The Halluci Nation, released on July 30, 2021, by Radicalized Records, an imprint of Pirates Blend Records.
One More Saturday Night is a concept album inspired by the Electronic Pow Wow nights hosted by The Halluci Nation at the Babylon nightclub in Ottawa, Ontario. These events featured the use of traditional powwow chants blended with electronic music genres including dubstep, moombahton, and reggae. On July 5, 2021, the group changed their name from ‘A Tribe Called Red’ to The Halluci Nation. The album, along with the name change, serves as a tribute to their history and represents the beginning of a new future.
The album consists of a wide variety of collaborators. Some of these artists include Keith Secola, Rob Ruha, Odario Williams, and Polaris Music Prize winner Haviah Mighty. Tracks also feature Canadian powwow vocals from Black Bear and percussion from the Anushinaabeg family drum group known as the Chippewa Travelers.
One More Saturday Night was constructed with the aid of key mentors Malcolm Cecil and John Trudell. Cecil offered professional and technical support during the album’s recording, and Trudell provided ideas for new material.
One Saturday Night consists of songs that express the celebratory aspects of indigenous culture. The songs "Ba Na Na" and "Takarita" include upbeat guitar rhythms and reggaeton beats that encourage the listener to dance.
Other tracks on the album address topics of indigenous rights and land ownership. Songs including as "Land Back", "The OG", and "Collaboration ≠ Appropriation" touch on these themes.
The opening track "Remember 01" is dedicated to the mentorship of John Trudell. Trudell provided the group with ideas and a vision for the future. He was the main inspiration behind the group's name change in 2021.
In collaboration with Rob Ruha, the track "Takarita" blends guitar, traditional percussion, and vocals to create a joyful experience for the listener. The Halluci Nation members Thomas and Hill traveled to New Zealand with Rob Ruha to record the song.
All music is composed by Tim "2oolman" Hill and Ehren "Bear Witness" Thomas

West Indian Students Union
|
The West Indian Students Union (WISU) was established in London, England, in 1946, with the aim of promoting fellowship among and offering assistance to the growing number West Indian students arriving in Britain for further and higher education. Early members who become notable politicians include Michael Manley, Errol Barrow, Linden Forbes Burnham, Maurice Bishop, Lee Llewellyn Moore, Eugenia Charles, and many members went on to achieve prominence in other fields, such as historian Elsa Goveia. WISU's base was at the West Indian Students Centre in Earl's Court, and in later years members included activist Ansel Wong, who chaired WISU during the early 1970s, editing a number of their publications and contributing articles.
According to historian Marc Matera, "Black organizations like the West African Students Union, League of Coloured Peoples and, after 1945, the West Indian Students Union called upon students to combine assiduous study and political activism in their endeavors, while working to establish mechanisms by which this might take place. ...In December 1945, 113 students registered for the first West Indian Students' Conference in London and established the West Indian Students Union."

Oscar Wanscher
|
Oscar Wanscher (19 March 1846 - 7 March 1906) was a Danish surgeon.
Wanscher was born on 19 March 1846 in Copenhagen, the son of paper merchant Wilhelm Wanscher (1802-82) and Karen Johanne Juliane Wegener (1814-79). He matriculated from.Westen's institute and earned a Master of Medicine degree from the University of Copenhagen in 1871. He then went on to study eye diseases for two years at E. Grut's eye clinic. In 1872-84, heworked at Copenhagen Municipal Hospital's Department I with V. Holmer at whose proposal he began preparing his dissertation on the basis of the department's extensive material of operated ]]crouptil trap]]s. In the following year, Wanscher studied surgery in England, France, the Netherlands and Germany. In in 1875-78, he was resident surgeon at the Municipal Hospital under Holmer and completed the dissertation (Om Diphtheritis og Croup), especially with regard to Tracheotomy, which was defended for the doctorate in 1877.
In 1879, Wanscher became a corps physician in the army and acting chief physician at the Garrison Hospital where. With inspiration from England, e was instrumental in introducing ether replacement for chloroform as an anesthetic and constructed his own mask for ether anesthesia. He presented his views in 1882 in the article Om Brugen af Æther som Indaandingsmiddel ved chirurgisk Anæsthesi der, which gave rise to considerable debate in the medical community, but it was not until late in Wanscher's career, asisted by Th. Rovsing, that they gained general recognition. In 1885, Wanscher unsuccessfully competed with E. A. Tschernin and O. Bloch for the position as Mathias Saxtorph's successor at the university (in clinical surgery). The fierce competition took its toll on Wanscher, who had already struggled with manic-depressive tendencies. In 1890, he left the army. In 1892, he succeeded P. Plum as chief surgeon at Frederiks Hospital's department D. His mental issues made it difficult for him to fulfill the great promises of his youth. Between the depressions, however, his ability to work returned in periods, and he wrote the first section of operativ Kirurgi (1898). Wanscher had also previously published a number of valuable articles on surgical history. In 1900, he was appointed professor extraordinaire in surgical pathology. In his later years he was very interested in brain surgery. When the depressions took hold, Wanscher thought of retiring, but died before that.
]]File:Johanne Margrethe Wanscher.jpg|thumb|Johanne Margrethe Wanscher.]] On 19 January 1881, Wanscher married Johanne Margrethe Hage (1850-1929=. She was the daughter of businessman Christopher Theodor Friedenreich Hage (1819-72) and Nannie (Nancy) Amelie Margrethe Hammerich (1827-1902).

DwarfHeim
|
DwarfHeim was a cooperative real-time strategy video game created by Trondheim-based developer Pineleaf Studio, and published by Merge Games on September 27, 2021. Set in a fantasy word inhabited by dwarves and trolls, the game split resource gathering, base building, and army management between up to three players. A commercial failure, DwarfHeim left its development studio bankrupt. The game's servers shut down on November 30, 2023, rendering the game inaccessible.
DwarfHeim featured traditional base building, resource gathering, and combat similar to that of WarCraft III. In regular matches and skirmishes, the gameplay was split between three players, with vacant slots being filled by the game's AI. One players primarily built structures on the surface which were used to gather recurses, research new technologies, and train troops. Another player mined resources underground, and processed them with contraptions similar to those in Factorio. The last player trained and controlled combat troops. Troops were used to hunt trolls to gain additional resources, capture control nodes on the map that convey bonuses to their owners, and secure victory by destroying the opposing team's headquarters.
In survival mode, players would attempt to survive as long as possible against waves of trolls. If played alone, players would control all three aspects of the game. Additionally, there was also a sandbox mode with no opposing team intended to ease new players into the game. A campaign was planned as well, but never released.
In all modes, players had access to a hero unit with special abilities that supported whatever role a player fills. Heroes gained levels and new abilities in combat. If killed, they would respawn at the headquarters after a cooldown period.
DwarfHeim was intended to be revealed at E3 2020. After the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was presented as part of the "Guerilla Collective" announcement stream instead. At the same time, beta sign-ups for DwarfHeim started. The game's multiplayer mode was showcased at PAX X EGX 2020, where the developers also announced a demo, as well as a transition to Steam Early Access for October 2020. The game was also to receive a "friend pass" feature, allowing owners to have others join them without those DwarfHeim themselves. This was implemented in December 2020.
The game was released on September 27, 2021. A few months later, Pineleaf Studio declared bankruptcy. In an interview with MN24, the studio's general manager Linn Søvig stated that only 30,000 people had bought the game, with 100,000 having wishlisted DwarfHeim prior to its release. The game's servers were shut down at the end of November 2023, rendering the game unplayable.
Nate Crowley of Rock Paper Shotgun had high expectations for the game upon watching its trailer, stating that DwarfHeim could have the potential to reinvent the real-time strategy genre. He retained his positive opinion of the game upon playing it. The Indie Game Website had a positive impression of DwarfHeim during its early access period, calling it simple but fun and giving it a score of 7/10. Writing for Gamereactor, Ben Lyons was likewise positive of the game's early access version, but pointed out that the developers had to iron out a number of flaws prior to its full release.

The Archies (soundtrack)
|
The Archies (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2023 teen musical comedy film The Archies directed by Zoya Akhtar. The soundtrack consisted of 16 songs composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Ankur Tewari, The Islanders and Aditi "Dot" Saigal, with lyrics written by Javed Akhtar, Zoya, Shibani Akhtar, Tewari and Saigal. It was released by Sony Music India on 25 November 2023.
In July 2022, an article from India Today reported that the film would feature 11 songs. Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy who composed for Zoya's Luck by Chance (2009), Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and Dil Dhadakne Do (2015) had composed most of the songs, either primarily or with Ankur Tewari, previously worked with Zoya in Gully Boy (2019), and Aditi "Dot" Saigal, who also starred in the film as Ethel Muggs. The Islanders also made their mainstream film music debut with this film, composing three of the songs with Tewari. Javed Akhtar was the primary lyricist, penning down most of the songs.
The trio stated that bringing 1960s music comes very naturally, describing it as an organic process and also interacted with Anglo-Indians for the authenticity. He cited "Va Va Voom" came out organically as Ehsaan had randomly played one line and they decided to record the track, they felt the song would fit the sequence as it had an element of rock. For the recording, he had sampled jamming of a drum loop, riffs, melodies and then record it in the studio live. He followed a band-like approach, that consisted of instruments such as guitar, bass, drums and piano or organ to sonically imprint the 1960s.
Ankur Tewari was brought early in the music production and songwriting process, where they collaboratively write dummy lyrics before presenting it to Javed and have his ideas implemented into the lyrics. As the songs were mostly controversial, Javed had to forget 85 percent of the vocabulary he used as the kids were Anglo-Indians and they have limited vocabulary. Hence, he could not write intricate poetry, but simple words that conveyed the message either being about politics or love, it had to be musical and the rhymes needed to fit the tune.
The album prominently features young singers, with few cast members: Saigal and Vedang Raina already had a musical background. The song "Jab Tum Na Theen" marked Suhana Khan's playback singing debut. Speaking of it, the trio wanted someone who had the required voice, age and innocence. As previous singers whom they collaborated with sounded too professional, the team wanted Khan to record the track which managed their expectations. Albeit being nervous, she practiced a lot before recording, as the song had a conversational quality. Tejas had primarily sung most of the tracks, for whom the trio hailed it as "fantastic" and being "out of his territory" that they wanted because of the casting and setting. Tejas trained on the language, that had to be true to the character, but not to be anglicized, where "the Hindi should be correct, but at the same time you know that he is from that style of speaking and living, the Anglo Indian 1960s family".
The soundtrack was preceded with the first single "Sunoh". It was released on 19 October 2023, in conjunction with the promotional event held at Bollywood Hungama OTT Fest with the cast being present. A portion of the song was performed by the cast at the Tudum 2023 event held in São Paulo, Brazil. It is a "friendship anthem" as described by NDTV, that introduces a glimpse of the characters' lives in the fictional Riverdale. The second song "Va Va Voom" was released on 2 November 2023. The third song "In Raahon Mein" was performed by Arijit Singh at a concert held in Azerbaijan on 12 November, before its official release on 14 November 2023. The fourth song "Dishoom Dishoom" was released, along with the soundtrack, on 25 November 2023. The release coincided with the music launch event held at Film City, Mumbai with the presence of the cast and the music team.
Prachi Arya of India Today, regarding "Va Va Voom", said that "the peppy dance number celebrates the timeless rock and roll tunes". Apeksha Juneja of Pinkvilla called it as "a delightful throwback to the '60s rock and roll era, offering a fun and retro dance spectacle". Filmfare described "In Raahon Mein" as a "perfect road trip song" with the lyrics "are all about the journey of life that keeps going on. The soft melody seems like the backdrop of a summer trip."
A critic from NDTV described "Dishoom Dishoom" as a "roller-skating extravaganza". Lalitha Suhasini of Film Companion described "Sunoh" as a keyed-up version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" from the cast of Glee (2009–2015). She further wrote "it’s hard to shake off the sense that there is something familiar and yet, foreign about the track. Familiar if you went to a Christian school where hymns and carols are part of your vocal repertoire (whether you can hold a note or not) and foreign because you haven’t heard this sound in a Bollywood film."

First siege of Pontevico
|
The first siege of Pontevico was fought between 6 and 8 June 1452 at Pontevico (Lombardy) between the armies of the Duchy of Milan and that of Republic of Venice, an episode of the Wars in Lombardy.
During the Wars in Lombardy, Brescia and its province get conquered by the Republic of Venice. In 1448, Venice and Milan stipulated a truce: then, Francesco Sforza, a milanese commander, besieged Milan and took the power on February 26, 1452. Due to his past service for the Republic of Venice, he knew the strategic importance of Pontevico, located long the Oglio river and he decided to besiege his castle.
Francesco Sforza could count on a big part of his army.
The venetian forces in Pontevico were exiguous. However, the people of Ponteviche, trusting in their own valor, wanted to attempt resistance in any way.
After having built a bridge over the river and set up a camp on both Oglio shores, on June 6 the Milanese began the siege of the fortress; the bombardments were aimed against the bastions of the castle while Sforza ordered the guerrillas not to give the castle lords any respite. In fact, the duke feared that reinforcements would arrive from Venice in the future. This was, on the contrary, the hope of the castellans, which vanished after two days of repeated attacks, when the Pontevichesi signed the surrender with the Milanese.
During the siege of Pontevico, the venetian army passed the Oglio river near Soncino and conquered the County of Cremona. After a winter rest, in March 1453 the war started again. On May 29th, Jacopo Piccinino brought back Pontevico under Serenissima. In October, Francesco Sforza joined with René of Anjou and his army, besieged the castle again, which fell on the third day and was destroyed with the whole village.
In the end, with the Peace of Lodi Pontevico returned under Republic of Venice which rebuilt the town and his fortress.

Second siege of Pontevico
|
The second siege of Pontevico was fought between 25 and 29 may 1453 at Pontevico (Lombardy) between the armies of the Duchy of Milan and that of Republic of Venice, an episode of the Wars in Lombardy.

But, when Sforza left Cremona, four days of siege had already passed. In the fourth day of siege, on May 29th, Jacopo Piccinino decided to incite his soldiers promising them that, in case of victory, they could loot the town and take revenge on their enemies. So, the venetians soldiers moved their heavy weapons in front of the castle bastion, launching an attack against that single point of the fortress and opening an opening, where joined the besiegers.
The venetian soldiers who came in the town, plunded it. The milanese soldiers were taken prisoner and more unlucky has been thrown in the river.
In the next days, Jacopo Piccinino attempted to launch new attacks over Duke but he never get a win. On August 15th, the milanese army conquered Ghedi Then, in autumn, Francesco Sforza get numerous military reinforcements from France and Florence, conjoining with Renè of Anjou forming an army of around 25.000 among knights and infantrymen: they encircled the town and sieged his castle between October 16th and 19th, conquering it after three days of siege.

Third Siege of Pontevico
|
The third siege of Pontevico was fought between 16 and 19 October 1453 at Pontevico (Lombardy) between the armies of the Duchy of Milan and that of Republic of Venice, an episode of the Wars in Lombardy.
During the fifth and last phase of the Wars in Lombardy, in 1452 the Province of Brescia was invaded and conquered by the Milanese army, commanded by Francesco Sforza, the Duke of Milan. In the next year, Jacopo Piccinino (at the head of the Serenissima's army), brought back Pontevico after four days of siege.
During the summer, the venetian army, camped at Pontevico, attacked many time the milanese one, situated in his strongholds of Seniga and Robecco d'Oglio, without ever getting an important win. Then, in august after the Battle of Ghedi the Duke get an important win against Piccinino before the autumn, taking control of Ghedi and the Bassa Bresciana Orientale.
In October, Francesco Sforza conjoined with René of Anjou, King of Naples and Count of Anjou, in addition to being commander of the French Army. So, the combined Franco-Milanese army could count on about 25.000 soldiers, starting encircling Pontevico.
The combined army of Duke of Milan and count of Anjou counted 20.000 infantrymen and 3.500 knights.
Jacopo Piccinino could count on few hundreds of soldiers located into the Castle of Pontevico to which were added the Pontevico inhabitants, who supported Serenissima.
On October 16th, the combined Franco-Milanese army started besieging the Castle of Pontevico. The milanese bombards hit hard the fortress' bastions, indeed after two days of siege some Sforza's soldiers saw an opening in the defensive walls and tried to enter in the castle, failing. In the same day, the french, until then placed on the right bank of the Oglio, passed the river and intervened on the front line: so, they climbed the steep shore of the river, being in front of the access to the fortress. However, they found the fierce castellans, who pushed them on the other bank of the river after a sword clash.
On October 19th, under the Sforza's order, the milanese soldiers launched a heavy assault on a single bastion. Then, when a breach has been opened, the soldiers penetrated in the stronghold and, equipped with all kinds of projectiles, they clashed with the castellans, winning the clash. So, after hours of clash, at 22 P.M. Pontevico fell again under the Duchy of Milan.
After the siege, Pontevico get squab looted, burnt and then razed to the ground. The french soldiers were particularly evil, committing many brutal cruelties over the inhabitants. The word spread throughout the territory and in the next 8 days many towns located in province of Brescia surrendered.
In the early 1454, the situation get upset: the french soldiers, jaded by the war, peeved due to the continuous clashes with the milanese ones and aware of the fact that their tactics were inferior to the Italian ones, decided to leave the war, with the accord of the Count of Anjou. So, the french army left the war and Milan and Venice decided to achieve peace. In April, they reached the Treaty of Lodi, who put an end to the wars in Lombardy.

Peruvanam
|
Peruvanam (Peruvanam Gramam) is a historical area of Brahmin settlement in central Kerala. In Kerala Sanskrit literature, the name "Peruvanam" is often Sanskritized as Puruvana meaning the forest where a sage named Puru lived and meditated. The name "Perumanam" is also used instead of Peruvanam.
According to legends, Peruvanam was one of the 64 villages (Gramam-s) created by the mythological character Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, in the land reclaimed by him from the sea in the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula and donated to the Brahmins he had brought from other parts of India. As many as 32 of these Gramams are situated in the area between Gokarna in Karnataka and Chandragiri River (also known as Payasvini or Perumpuzha river) in Kasaragod district in Kerala. The remaining 32 Gramams are located in the region between Chandragiri River river and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. This region overlaps most areas of present-day Kerala state. Peruvanam Gramam is nearly in the middle of the region in Kerala where the 32 Gramams lying to the south of the Chandragiri river are located.
The area referred to as Peruvanam has no clearly defined geographical boundaries. The area in Kerala bounded in the north by Bharathapuzha river and in the south by Periyar river is sometimes considered as the geographical extent of the traditional Peruvanam Gramam. There are other accounts about the boundaries of the Gramam. In these accounts, the Gramam is bounded in the east by the Sri Dharmasastha Temple at Kuthiran in the mountainous terrain in the eastern part of Thrissur district, in the north by the Sri Dharmasastha Temple at Akamala near Wadakkanchery, in the west by the Ayyappan Kavu Temple at Edathiruthy near Thriprayar and in the south by the Sastha Temple at Oozham near Kodungallur.
The antiquity of the Peruvanam Gramam has been attested by several historical documents. The earliest historical reference to Peruvanam occurs in a Peruvanam Granthavari. This document refers to the year of starting of the Peruvanam Pooram as 583 CE. The year is indicated in the Kalidina of the starting of the Pooram which itself is encoded as "Ayathu Shivalokam Nah" in the famous Katapayadi system. Decoding this one gets the day of the starting of the Pooram as Kalidina 1345610 which translates to Kali year 3684 Meenam 27. As indication of antiquity, six Vattezhuthu and Malayalam inscriptions have been found in the temple. An 11th century inscription from Thiruvattoor in North Kerala refers to seven persons originally belonging to Peruvanam Gramam. A document dated 1169 CE containing a reference to a Brahmin from this Graman has been recovered from Kilimanoor. Peruvanam Kottam, the abode of the Lord of Peruvanam, figures along with nearby Oorakam in the Thrikkakkara inscription of Ko Indu Kothai Varman of tenth century CE.
Presently, as many as 133 Namputhiri Illam-s or Mana-s (a mana or illam is a patrilineal clan of Naṃpūtiri-s or Malayali Brahmins all of whose members share the name of the Mana as the common family name; the word is also used to denote the house of a Naṃpūtiri or Malayali Brahmin), whose members live scattered across different parts of central Kerala, have been identified as descendants of the original settler families of the Peruvanam village. A few of the original settler Illam-s have become extinct. There is a sharp division among these families with regard to the rituals and customs they practice. Of the 133 Mana-s, the members of as many as 79 Mana-s are followers of the Yajurveda and associated rituals and the members of the remaining Mana-s pursue Rigveda and associated rituals.
The members of Peruvanam Gramam along with the members of Sukapuram Gramam (another Brahmin settlement legendarily created by Parashurama) enjoy a higher social ranking in certain matters. For example, the qualifications for the appointment of the Melsanthi (Chief Priest) of the great Sri Krishna Temple at Guruvayur stipulate that the candidate should be from Peruvanam or Sukapuram Gramams with Agnihotram and Bhattavrthi. This modern-day stipulation is proof enough that the myth and legend of the Peruvanam Gramam is a living tradition that influences and interferes in the life and times of contemporary Kerala society in a very concrete way.
One very important fact about Brahmin settlements in Kerala was that they were centered around temples and the temple was synonymous with the settlement and vice-versa. Peruvanam Gramam was no exception to this general rule and it got its name from the ancient Peruvanam Mahadeva Temple located nearly at the center of the geographical area of the Gramam. This temple, where God Shiva is worshiped, is now situated in Cherpu Gramapanchayath in Thrissur district in Kerala.
There are several iconographic, archtectural and other specialties in this temple. The temple has two srikovil-s (sanctum sanctora). In one of these, the idol is in the form twin linga-s installed on the same pedestal which, according to one tradition, are assumed to represent Siva and Parvathi as Ardhanareesvara and which, according to another tradition, represent Sankara (Siva) and Narayana (Vishnu). The presiding deity of this sanctum sanctorum is locally referred to as Erattayappan ("Twin God"). The second srikovil is situated in the first floor of a three-storey structure, a tri-tala-vimana, adjacent to the other srikovil. The deity here is also Siva locally referred to as Madathilappan which may be loosely translated as the "God in the Tree House".
Peruvanam Poooram, even though it is now known and celebrated as only a local temple festival sans the glory and fame of a mega-pooram like the Thrissur Pooram, was in the olden days a mega spectacle and the grand festival of Peruvanam Gramam. It was not just a temple Pooram with only one day's festivities, it was a festival, the Spring festival (Vasanthotsavam) lasting 28 days with the participation of all people in Peruvanam Gramam. Tradition has it that the festival used to commence with Koțiyēt on Utram nakṣatram in the Kuṃbhaṃ month with a Valiya Viḷakk (present-day Peruvanam Pooram) in Perumanam Mahadeva Temple on Pūyaṁ nakṣatram and Ārāțț (present-day Arattupuzha Pooram) on Pūraṃ nakṣatram. The 28 days commencing from Utram nakṣatram in the Kuṃbhaṃ month is even now observed as the festival season (Utsavakkālaṃ) in Perumanam Gramam with the performance of special rituals in temples. All the nooks and corners of Peruvanam Gramam, represented by the presiding deities of the local village temples, used to be participants of the festival. The number of such participating deities used be as high as 108. That the festival was a Gramam-wide affair is corroborated by another legend which asserts all residents of Peruvanam Gramam are mandatorily obliged to attend the Ārāțț and that if a resident of the Gramam was not found attending the Ārāțț, he could definitely be deemed to be dead and his post-death rituals should be carried out immediately!
According to a Peruvanam Granthavari, the year of starting of the Peruvanam Pooram was 583 CE. As already indicated earlier, the year is indicated by the words "āyātu śivalokaṃ naḥ" which is an encoding of a number in the Katapayadi system. Decoding this one gets the day of the starting of the Pooram as Kalidina 1345610 which translates to Kali year 3684 Meenam 27. The full verse runs as follows:
Thus, as per this document, the Peruvanam Grama Utsavam has a history of more than fourteen centuries. Historical records chronicling the rise and decline of the Peruvanam Grama Utsavam are scanty. One event that dealt the near death blow to the Utsavam was the starting of the Thrissur Pooram in the year 1796 under the direction and control of Sakthan Thampuran, the then ruler of the erstwhile Cochin Kingdom. Royal patronage and support, and the fact it was being held in the middle of a town, added more glamor and prestige to Thrissur Pooram leading to a decline in importance to Peruvanam Pooram. However, during the last quarter of the twentieth century, with the support and encouragement of the State government, the Pruvanam and Arattupuzha Pooram-s witnessed a resurgence and now they are organised with much grandeur and huge popular participation.
There are no written records regarding how the affairs of Peruvanam Gramam were managed during various historical periods. For that matter, there are no such records regarding any of the remaining 63 Gramams that are supposed to have been created by Parashurama. However, from from bits and pieces of information collected together from various sources like inscriptions on temple walls, few copper plate records and allusions in literary works historians have attempted to present a coherent account how a Gramam might have been administered in medieval times. The situation of Peruvanam Gramam was unlikely to different from this general pattern.
The activities in a Gramam, a Brahmin settlement, revolved around the temple. The Gramam property, whose collateral ownership was vested with the temples, was virtually the property of the Brahmins. The property of the temples, called Devasvam, and other temple affiars were looked after jointly by the Brahmin population of the Gramam. The Brahmin population of the Gramam constituted the "General Body" of the Gramam Administration. This was called Uralar a term even now used to denote the administrators/trustees of privately owned ancient temples in Kerala. Meetings of the General Body are convened to deliberate on very important matters affecting the administration. However, a group of Uralar-s, called Paratai (a corrupt form of the Sanskrit word Parishad), used to function like an executive committe and look after the day to day affairs of the temple. The exact nature of the constitution of this committee is not known. Kinship affiliation, property qualification, educational achievements and adherance to moral codes seem to have been the eligibity for being members of this committee. Although these bodies were largely autonomous, there was nominal control over them from above and at times of exigency, the control was exercised. The decisions of these bodies are followed strictly and those who violate the rules are punished severely. Punishments included ex-communication and confiscatio of all properties. The functions of the bodies include management of the properties belonging to the temple, proper utilisation of the income accrued from the properties, settlement of disputes among Uralar-s and between Urala-s and tenants and collection of revenue and its remittance to the royal treasury.
Peruvanam Gramam was a fertile ground for the pursuit of intellectual and literary activities. This is evidenced by the popularity and spread of the large number of literary, astronomical, astrological and other creative works composed by persons who have identified themselves as belonging to this Gramam. One can see several references to such works in the classic multi-volume history of Kerala literature written by late Ulloor S. Paramevara Ayyar. The following is a necessarily incomplete compilation of such references.
In contemporary times, a small geographical area in a Grama Panchayath in Thrissur district has been named after the legendary sprawling Peruvanam Gramam! Ward 9 of Cherpu Gramapanchayath in Thrissur district is now known as Peruvanam.

As many as 32 of these Gramams are situated in the area between Gokarna in Karnataka and Chandragiri River (also known as Payasvini or Perumpuzha river) in Kasaragod district in Kerala. The remaining 32 Gramams are located in the region between Chandragiri River river and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. This region overlaps most areas of present-day Kerala state. Peruvanam Gramam is nearly in the middle of the region in Kerala where the 32 Gramams lying to the south of the Chandragiri river are located.",

The year is indicated in the Kalidina of the starting of the Pooram which itself is encoded as \"Ayathu Shivalokam Nah\" in the famous Katapayadi system. Decoding this one gets the day of the starting of the Pooram as Kalidina 1345610 which translates to Kali year 3684 Meenam 27. As indication of antiquity, six Vattezhuthu and Malayalam inscriptions have been found in the temple. An 11th century inscription from Thiruvattoor in North Kerala refers to seven persons originally belonging to Peruvanam Gramam. A document dated 1169 CE containing a reference to a Brahmin from this Graman has been recovered from Kilimanoor.

A few of the original settler Illam-s have become extinct. There is a sharp division among these families with regard to the rituals and customs they practice.

It was not just a temple Pooram with only one day's festivities, it was a festival, the Spring festival (Vasanthotsavam) lasting 28 days with the participation of all people in Peruvanam Gramam. Tradition has it that the festival used to commence with Koțiyēt on Utram nakṣatram in the Kuṃbhaṃ month with a Valiya Viḷakk (present-day Peruvanam Pooram) in Perumanam Mahadeva Temple on Pūyaṁ nakṣatram and Ārāțț (present-day Arattupuzha Pooram) on Pūraṃ nakṣatram. The 28 days commencing from Utram nakṣatram in the Kuṃbhaṃ month is even now observed as the festival season (Utsavakkālaṃ) in Perumanam Gramam with the performance of special rituals in temples. All the nooks and corners of Peruvanam Gramam, represented by the presiding deities of the local village temples, used to be participants of the festival. The number of such participating deities used be as high as 108. That the festival was a Gramam-wide affair is corroborated by another legend which asserts all residents of Peruvanam Gramam are mandatorily obliged to attend the Ārāțț and that if a resident of the Gramam was not found attending the Ārāțț, he could definitely be deemed to be dead and his post-death rituals should be carried out immediately!",

One event that dealt the near death blow to the Utsavam was the starting of the Thrissur Pooram in the year 1796 under the direction and control of Sakthan Thampuran, the then ruler of the erstwhile Cochin Kingdom. Royal patronage and support, and the fact it was being held in the middle of a town, added more glamor and prestige to Thrissur Pooram leading to a decline in importance to Peruvanam Pooram. However, during the last quarter of the twentieth century, with the support and encouragement of the State government, the Pruvanam and Arattupuzha Pooram-s witnessed a resurgence and now they are organised with much grandeur and huge popular participation.",

"text": "The activities in a Gramam, a Brahmin settlement, revolved around the temple. The Gramam property, whose collateral ownership was vested with the temples, was virtually the property of the Brahmins. The property of the temples, called Devasvam, and other temple affiars were looked after jointly by the Brahmin population of the Gramam. The Brahmin population of the Gramam constituted the \"General Body\" of the Gramam Administration. This was called Uralar a term even now used to denote the administrators/trustees of privately owned ancient temples in Kerala. Meetings of the General Body are convened to deliberate on very important matters affecting the administration. However, a group of Uralar-s, called Paratai (a corrupt form of the Sanskrit word Parishad), used to function like an executive committe and look after the day to day affairs of the temple. The exact nature of the constitution of this committee is not known. Kinship affiliation, property qualification, educational achievements and adherance to moral codes seem to have been the eligibity for being members of this committee. Although these bodies were largely autonomous, there was nominal control over them from above and at times of exigency, the control was exercised. The decisions of these bodies are followed strictly and those who violate the rules are punished severely. Punishments included ex-communication and confiscatio of all properties. The functions of the bodies include management of the properties belonging to the temple, proper utilisation of the income accrued from the properties, settlement of disputes among Uralar-s and between Urala-s and tenants and collection of revenue and its remittance to the royal treasury.",

Tardza Project
|
Tardza Project is a car designed by Paweł Kalinowski.
The Tardza Project is intertwined with human struggle, compassion, and the power of dialogue. Tardza is a Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 from 1984 that has gained recognition not only for its automotive significance but also for the remarkable story behind its restoration. The idea of Tardza comes from the creators of the project, i.e. CarBone from Poland.
The name Tardza is a symbol of its past, a rusty fender, which was intentionally left untouched as a poignant reminder of the car's history. It is a combination of the name “targa” and the word “rdza” (Polish for rust). Originally owned by a homeless man battling drug addiction, Tardza served as both shelter and means of escape. The car became a symbol of tumultuous journey.
The vision for Tardza was not a conventional restoration; instead, creation of a unique masterpiece that would tell a story of redemption and renewal. Since Ferdinand Porsche created his masterpiece, his car has been modified in many ways, but it was the Tardza project that involved people from all over the world.
People from different countries forming meaningful connections to collect materials and parts for Tardza. From an engine acquisition in Germany to the gift of roof fabric from a friends, each element in this car holds a tale of collaboration and shared passion. Tardza is a social project that goes beyond the definition of art. It is a type of performance aimed at drawing attention to consumerism and dialogue with the viewer. Tardza has become a symbol of connection and the potential for transformation. It transcends its role as an automotive restoration project, representing the power of human relationships and second chances.

Halosulfuron-methyl
|
Halosulfuron-methyl is a sulfonylurea post-emergence herbicide used to control some annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and sedges (such as nutsedge/nutgrass) in a range of crops (particularly rice), established landscape woody ornamentals and turfgrass. It is marketed under several tradenames including Sedgehammer and Sandea.
It is systemic and selective, and acts as an inhibitor of acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS, also known as acetolactate synthase) restricting the biosynthesis of the essential amino acids, valine and isoleucine, thus restricting plant growth. Symptoms take several weeks to develop and include general stunting, chlorosis, and necrosis of the growing points. It typically does not affect other major annual and perennial weed grasses and broadleaves such as spurge, dandelions, lambsquarters, and oxalis.

Beit HaAmudim
|
Beit HaAmudim (בית העמודים in Hebrew) meaning, the House of Columns, is a building located at 14 Rambam Street, in the Nahalat Binyamin neighborhood of Tel Aviv. Since 2011, it operates as a jazz club, hosting performances by Israeli jazz musicians every evening.
"Beit HaAmudim" also known by its other name, "Zalman Baron House," was a residential project initiated by Zalman Baron, a Jewish immigrant from the United States, and constructed by Yehuda Magidovich in 1925. Baron acquired three adjacent plots of land on which the building was constructed. The structure consists of three interconnected buildings, each with separate staircase rooms.
In 2011, a neighborhood bar-café was opened at the location. Yael Hedany, a jazz musician and enthusiast with a background in the restaurant industry, proposed to the owner, Eran Kol, to host jazz performances at the venue, in order to make it unique.
In 2015, Beit HaAmudim was selected by the American magazine "Business Insider" as "one of the 11 best jazz clubs in the world". In 2017 the venue was chosen by the American Jazz magazine "DownBeat" as one of the best jazz clubs in the world.

Bust of Hadrian (Piraeus)
|
The Portrait bust of Hadrian (Greek: Πορτραίτο του Αδριανού) is the surviving upper part of a colossal statue of Roman Emperor Hadrian (r. 117–138), now kept in the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus in Greece. It is the only colossal statue of the emperor in Greece today.
Hadrian visited the city of Athens for the first time in 124 AD, and it was shortly after that visit that the statue was built. It has been associated with the Roman baths at 118 Kolokotroni Street, which stand at a distance of 100 m. east of where the statue was found. Papastamos dates it to the last visit Hadrian paid Athens around 131 or 132 AD.
The statue's remains were found in 1963 in the port of Piraeus underneath the Laimos building, in 35-39 Akti Miaouli Street. The sea shells stuck on its surface prove that the area found, just outside the wall, was under sea levels in ancient times.
This is a head with a total extant height of 1.48 m., a width of 98 cm and head height of 49 cm. According to calculations, the total height of the statue would have been around 3.20-3.30 m. It is made of Pentelic marble. The head and the front surface of the torso are much worn by sea erosion, with the exception of the back which is preserved in better condition. The right shoulder and large pieces of the right part of the chest are missing. The emperor was standing with his head turned slightly to the left. He is wearing a tunica, a small part of which can be seen on the back of his left arm. Above it he wore a breastplate, which is not preserved, and a paludamentum. To the left, two rows of fringed leather straps hang below the breastplate to protect the shoulder. The paludamentum is folded over the left shoulder and covers the entire back. The outline of the face is oval-shaped. His forehead is broad and the worn-out nose somewhat large, his eyes have no engraved details. The furrowed brows and tight lips give the face a certain seriousness, but also kindness and gentleness. The hair is combed forward from the top of the head. It ends in eight broad spiral cusps, combed to the left. The sturgeons above the forehead are larger than the rest, and Hadrian's beard is short. Since nothing is preserved from the right shoulder and arm, we cannot know what pose it had. The left hand probably held a sword and part of the paludamentum.
Hadrian of Piraeus is the only surviving (if partially) colossal statue of Hadrian in Greece. According to Pausanias, an over lifesize statue of the emperor stood behind the temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens, a gift from the Athenians dedicated to Hadrian's Greek policy and symbol of the citizens's gratitude for Hadrian's work in Athens. Since it was found in the port, perhaps it was meant to be taken abroad.

2023 Austin shootings
|
On December 5, 2023, a shooting spree in Austin, Texas resulted in the deaths of four people and left three others injured. Another shooting in Bexar County that resulted in two deaths was said to be connected to the shootings.
At around 10:40 am. CST, a resource officer was shot and injured near Northeast Early College High School. The sergeant, who is responsible for several campuses, was shot in the leg during his daily check on the high school. During the shooting, the officer reported that he was taking gunfire, and another resource officer arrived to provide backup to the injured sergeant. The shooting caused the campus to go into lockdown, and the Austin Police Department responded at around 10:47. After, the school did a controlled release of its students.
At 11:59 am, a double homicide was reported near Shadywood Lane, where a man and a woman were killed. Police said that the victims had "obvious signs of trauma to their bodies". One of the victims was found dead at the scene, while the other died from their injuries at a local hospital. Fox 7 Austin reported that the suspect saw a handyman sitting in his car, and then shot him through the passenger window. A woman then came out to see what happened, and the man chased and then shot her.
At 4:57 pm, a cyclist riding on West Slaughter Lane was shot and injured. The man was said to have suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
At 6:54 pm, officers responded to a burglary on Austral Loop. An officer who responded found the suspect in the house's backyard, and they both exchanged fire. During the shootout, the suspect shot and injured the officer. The officer shot back but wasn't able to hit the suspect. The suspect then fled the scene. The officer was said to have suffered non-fatal injuries. Police found two bodies inside the home that had been burglarized, both of which suffered from fatal gunshot wounds.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said that police discovered two bodies in a home in the San Antonio area. The bodies were "wedged inside a very small room". After learning about the suspect in the Austin shootings, Salazar said that he had "links" to the home. Phyllis James and Shane James, the suspect's parents, are believed to be the victims.
After fleeing the shooting on Austral Loop, the suspect got into a police chase. He drove a stolen Acura, and reached speeds of up to 90 mph. The chase ended at around 7:14 p.m. when the suspect crashed his vehicle near FM 1826 and MoPac. Police found a 1911 A1 .45-caliber pistol and handgun magazines on him. The suspect, 34-year-old Shane Matthew James Jr. of San Antonio, was charged with four counts of capital murder, and held without bond. James reportedly had a history of violence and suffered from mental health issues. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and was discharged and arrested due to a domestic violence incident in January 2022, though he was eventually released on bail. In August 2023, police were called due to reports that James was suffering from a mental health episode but they “left the residence without taking him into custody on the misdemeanor warrants to avoid a possible violent confrontation.”
President Biden called on Republicans to ban assault weapons and urged them to help take action on gun control after the shootings in Central Texas and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Biden also said that him and Jill Biden joined citizens across the nation in praying for the fallen.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, on a post on X, described the shootings as heinous, and said that James, the perpetrator, must "never see the light of day". Abbott also said that he and his wife Cecilia were praying for the recovery of the injured, and thanked law enforcement for risking their lives to apprehend James.

Trian Partners
|
Trian Fund Management (Trian), which uses the trade name Trian Partners, is an American hedge fund management firm headquartered in New York City. As an activist investor, the firm has pushed for significant change at some of America's largest corporations.
Trian was founded in 2005 by Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Ed Garden.
In June 2023 Garden, who was the firm's chief investment officer, stepped down from his role although he remained a senior advisor at Trian. This came as a surprise to some as he was the youngest of the three co-founders and was expected to stick around and potentially lead the business.
Trian focuses on the consumer, industrial and financial sectors. The firm has developed a reputation as an activist investor and has often obtained board of directors seats at companies in order to make changes to them.
In 2007, Trian bought a 3% share of Cadbury-Schweppes. Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages was later spun off from the Cadbury Schweppes confectionery group. In the same year, Trian also bought $1.8 billion in shares of Kraft Foods.
In February 2011, Trian offered to buy Family Dollar for $55–60 per share which was rejected. Family Dollar also used the poison pill tactic in its defense. In September 2011, Garden joined the Family Dollar board.
In October 2011, Trian, which owned 3.3% of State Street Corporation, called for it to focus more on profitability and to consider selling or spinning-off its investment management arm, State Street Global Advisors. Although State Street kept its investment management arm, it engaged in other cost-cutting measures. By the time Trian sold its stake in State Street in 2013, the share price of had doubled.
In May 2012, Trian announced that, in partnership with CalSTRS, it had a 7% stake in Ingersoll Rand. In August, Peltz joined its board. Trian and Peltz spearheaded a move to break up the company to improve profitability. Ingersoll Rand eventually agreed to spin off its securities business as Allegion, which was completed in December 2013.
In February 2014, as a beneficial owner of approximately $1.2 billion of PepsiCo shares, Trian publicly released a letter to PepsiCo's board of directors and a white paper detailing why it should spin out its beverage business from its snacks division. Previously it had urged PepsiCo to acquire Mondelez International, but dropped the idea after winning a seat at Mondelēz's board. Though PepsiCo rejected the breakup proposal, it settled with Trian in January 2015 and added a director that Trian had recommended to its board. It then engaged in cost-cutting measures which improved its profit margins. In May 2016, Trian sold its entire stake of PepsiCo which at the time was worth over $2 billion and was a 50% return on investment from its initial purchase in 2012.
In October 2015, Trian bought a $2.5 billion stake in General Electric.
In May 2019, Peltz and Garden joined Legg Mason's board of directors. At the time, Trian had a 4.5% stake in the company. When Franklin Templeton Investments acquired Legg Mason in July 2020, Trian made a $70 million profit.
In October 2020, Trian acquired 9.9% stakes in both Invesco and Janus Henderson. Peltz and Garden then joined Invesco's board of directors. On February 1, 2022, Peltz and Garden left the board after Trian noted Invesco's financial performance had significantly improved. At the same time, Trian increased its stake in Janus Henderson to 16.7%, becoming its biggest shareholder with Peltz and Garden joining its board. Performance for Janus Henderson lagged and Trian wanted to exercise more control.
In May 2022, Trian announced it was considering a significant transaction with Wendy's. This included selling it, acquiring it entirely or merging it with another company. As it invested in the predecessor company of Wendy's, it held 19.4% of shares in the company at the time, making it the largest shareholder. However, in January 2023, Trian stated it would drop these plans as Wendy's announced a corporate redesign, doubled its dividend to increase its share price and also announced a $500 million share repurchase program.
In 2006, Trian was involved in a proxy fight with Heinz to get five independent directors on the board of Heinz. Trian succeeded in getting two members on the board, including Peltz.
In May 2015, Trian was unsuccessful in a proxy fight to appoint four of its nominees to the board of DuPont. Five months later the CEO of DuPont, Ellen Kullman, resigned and DuPont acknowledged lower than expected earnings and the need to accelerate a cost-cutting plan.
In October 2017, Peltz tried but failed to acquire a seat on the board of Procter & Gamble, in which Trian had a 1.5% stake. On November 15 it was discovered that, per a revision of all votes, which Peltz acknowledged to have resulted in a remarkably close battle, Peltz had in fact won the proxy battle, recognized as the largest in corporate history. On December 15, Procter & Gamble named Peltz to its board, although it stated that Peltz had nominally lost the proxy vote. In August 2021, Peltz stepped down from the board.
In January 2023, Peltz and Trian officially launched a proxy fight with Disney and was looking to get a board seat at the company. Peltz did not support the reappointment of Bob Iger as CEO and the departure of Bob Chapek in December 2022. In an online presentation titled “Restore the Magic”, Peltz and Trian stated Disney had poor strategic planning, excessive compensation practices and unsatisfactory cost management. It was pointed out that the Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney put it in a weak financial position. On February 9, the proxy fight was ended after Disney unveiled a vast restructuring plan, cost cuts and 7,000 layoffs.
According to reports, by October 2023 Trian had increased its stake in Disney to approximately 30 million shares worth over $2.5 billion in a new push, this time for multiple board seats. On December 1, Peltz and Trian launched a second proxy fight against Disney with the aim of getting at least three board seats at the company. Sources stated Peltz's main issues were with Disney's share price and margins as well as the board's decision to extend Iger's tenure by two years to the end of 2026.

"text": "In February 2014, as a beneficial owner of approximately $1.2 billion of PepsiCo shares, Trian publicly released a letter to PepsiCo's board of directors and a white paper detailing why it should spin out its beverage business from its snacks division. Previously it had urged PepsiCo to acquire Mondelez International, but dropped the idea after winning a seat at Mondelēz's board. Though PepsiCo rejected the breakup proposal, it settled with Trian in January 2015 and added a director that Trian had recommended to its board. It then engaged in cost-cutting measures which improved its profit margins. In May 2016, Trian sold its entire stake of PepsiCo which at the time was worth over $2 billion and was a 50% return on investment from its initial purchase in 2012.",
