76500155 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leila%20Rankine | Leila Rankine | Dorothy Leila Rankine (31 December 1932 – 15 January 1993) was an Aboriginal community worker, musician and poet. Known as Leila Rankine, she was a founding member of Adelaide Aboriginal Orchestra and the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music.
Early life and education
Leila Rankine, of Ngarrindjeri and Kaurna descent, was born on 31 December 1932 in the Adelaide suburb of Rose Park. She was the daughter of Rebecca Kumi (née Harris) and Daniel Wilson. She grew up and was educated at the Point McLeay Mission Station (now Raukkan) on Lake Alexandrina.
Life and work
Married and with five children, Rankine joined the Council of Aboriginal Women of South Australia at its inception in 1966. Alongside Ruby Hammond and Gladys Elphick, she strove to improve education for Aboriginal people.
With her sister, Veronica Brodie, she lobbied for the establishment of the Warriappendi School, developed to better meet the needs of Aboriginal children.
Rankine was a founding member of the Adelaide Aboriginal Orchestra in 1972 and co-founded the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM). In both, students were taught by Aboriginal Elders and encouraged to reconnect with their cultural heritage.
Personal and death
Rankine married James William Rankine (died 1969) in 1954. They had five children before moving to Adelaide in 1965. Their daughter, Aunty Leila Gayle Rankine, was a lifelong advocate for Aboriginal people with disabilities and chair of the First Peoples Disability Network.
Rankine suffered from diabetes and complications led to the amputation of a leg. She died on 15 January 1993 and her ashes were scattered on the Coorong.
Legacy
A rehabilitation facility, the Leila Rankine House of Hope was opened in 2018 at Monarto and run by the Aboriginal Sobriety Group, on whose board she had earlier served.
The Leila Rankine Award for Excellence in SACE Stage 2 Aboriginal Studies was established in her memory. Administered by Humanities and Social Sciences SA, it recognises both the "highest achieving student" and "their teacher for excellence in teaching".

76500194 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%20Knowsley%20Metropolitan%20Borough%20Council%20election | 2024 Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council election | The 2024 Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council election is scheduled to be held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom being held on the same day.
Background
The Local Government Act 1972 created a two-tier system of metropolitan counties and districts covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, the West Midlands, and West Yorkshire starting in 1974. Knowsley was a district of the Merseyside metropolitan county. The Local Government Act 1985 abolished the metropolitan counties, with metropolitan districts taking on most of their powers as metropolitan boroughs. The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority was created in 2014 and began electing the mayor of the Liverpool City Region from 2017. The body was given strategic powers covering a region that encompassed the former Merseyside metropolitan county with the addition of Halton Borough Council.
Since its formation, Knowsley has continuously been under Labour control. The Liberal Democrats had become the main opposition party by the late 1990s, and continued to win seats on the council until the 2010 election, when Labour won every seat. Labour continued to win every seat in subsequent elections until the 2016 election, when three Liberal Democrats were elected. The first Green Party councillor was elected to the borough in the 2018 election, with the Green Party winning a further two seats in each of the 2019 election and 2021 election to become the council's main opposition. After the 2023 election, Labour held 31 seats, the Greens held seven, independent councillors held four and the Liberal Democrats held three.
The positions up for election in 2024 were last elected in 2021. That election was originally scheduled to take place in 2020, but was delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that election, Labour won twelve seats on 55.3% of the vote, the Green Party and independents won two seats each on 23.1% and 9.8% respectively and the Liberal Democrats won one seat on 5.9% of the vote.
Electoral process
The council previously elected its councillors in thirds, with a third being up for election every year for three years, with no election in the fourth year. However, following a boundary review, all forty-eight councillors will be elected at the same time. The election will take place by multi-member first-past-the-post voting, with each ward being represented by up to three councillors. Electors will be able to vote for as many candidates as there are seats to fill, and the candidates with the most votes in each ward will be elected.
All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in Knowsley aged 18 or over will be entitled to vote in the election. People who live at two addresses in different councils, such as university students with different term-time and holiday addresses, are entitled to be registered for and vote in elections in both local authorities. Voting in-person at polling stations will take place from 07:00 to 22:00 on election day, and voters will be able to apply for postal votes or proxy votes in advance of the election.
Previous council composition
Changes:
February 2024: Steve Guy (Independent) is disqualified having not attended any council meetings for six months. A by-election is scheduled for 21 March 2024.
21 March 2024: The Whitefield by-election is won by Brian Johns (Independent).

76500209 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice%20Macdonald | Alice Macdonald | Alice Macdonald is a British politician selected by the Labour Party UK to stand as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Norwich North. She is the daughter of West Norfolk Council Labour leader Irene Macdonald.
Education
Macdonald graduated with first class honours in French and Italian at the University of Bristol in 2005, then went on to study a Master of the Arts in international studies and diplomacy at SOAS University of London, where she graduated in 2007 with distinction.
Early life
Macdonald grew up in a small village in Norfolk, where she attended a comprehensive school. Her first job was on a local farm; later she worked in pubs, cafes and shops.
Political career
Macdonald served as a councillor in the Newington ward of Southwark from the 7th of May 2018 to the 21st of May 2023. On the 25th of July 2022 she was announced as the official Labour parliamentary candidate for Norwich North. She has also served as a senior adviser to Harriet Harman and Bob Ainsworth.
Charity campaigning
Macdonald was Campaigns and Policy Director for London-based company Project Everyone between August 2016 and April 2023. Project Everyone was co-founded by Richard Curtis and is dedicated to "achieving sustainable development goals" via "campaign materials, [...] installations, [...] documentaries, [and] events". In addition to her political campaign work, Macdonald currently serves as Campaign Director for Hungry for Action Campaign, who aim to spotlight the global food crisis.
Controversy
In 2019 Macdonald announced she would be standing for the Labour parliamentary candidacy against Karen Davis. Davis previously stood unsuccessfully against the UK Conservative Party incumbent Chloe Smith (MP). The announcement of Macdonald's candidacy prompted accusations that Macdonald unfairly used campaign materials in a manner that took credit for someone else's work. Labour councillor Emma Corlett remarked: "This video literally uses photos from Karen Davis' campaign on holiday hunger and has you walking past the Vote Labour boards she and I put up with our bare (splintered) hands." An additional comment cast doubt on Macdonald's local knowledge: "Use your local knowledge? What, on a postage stamp?".

76500238 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20New%20World%20%28Tony%20Oxley%20album%29 | The New World (Tony Oxley album) | The New World is an album by Tony Oxley. His final release, it was recorded during 2022 in Viersen, Germany, and was issued on CD and as a digital download in 2023 by Discus Music. On the album, Oxley, who is heard on percussion and electronics, is joined by percussionist Stefan Hölker, who was previously heard on Oxley's Beaming (2020) and Unreleased 1974–2016 (2022).
Reception
In a review for Jazz Journal, Michael Tucker called the album "a densely woven yet airy, self-defining abstract soundscape, rich in pointillist texture and abstracted, interlaced pulses but devoid of swing," and wrote: "A tough but engrossing listen, this, which may stand as a memorial to the drummer."
The New York City Jazz Record'''s Mike Shanley compared the music to "a visit to a Percussion Curiosity Shop," in which "low clattering sounds float in, only to disappear quickly." He commented: "The performance never rises to a frenetic level, and even when it flows rapidly, the mood always feels rather gentle... Neither Oxley or Hölker play in a busy manner. They are respectful of each other's space to such an extent that they practically become one sound, with Oxley's electronics acting as an additional voice."
Dominic Rivron of International Times stated: "Listening to the album, I was more than once reminded of the classical music avant-garde of the 1960s. That a sound-world created sixty years ago still sounds new today – and it does – says a lot... Although there are six tracks, you have a sense that, when one comes to an end and another starts, it's because you had to leave the room temporarily, not because the music ever stopped. You get the feeling Oxley and Hölker could've gone on for ever and never run out of things to say."
Writing for the Downtown Music Gallery, Bruce Lee Gallanter remarked: "I find the music here to be consistently fascinating and pretty diverse. Each piece seems to evoke a different vibe or inner landscape (for the mind)... The sounds here are often pulsating and sounds alive. The more I listen to this, the more I hear the way it is connected and how it unfolds. Is it composition or improvisation or both? Questions to consider as we listen."
In an article for Exposé Online, Peter Thelen wrote: "Oxley's masterful refinement of sounds and shadows amid swirling bursts of creative energy offer a unique perspective; these are not merely 'drum solos' or even enhanced solos, but compositions that deserve the most unique attention to every detail... With The New World, Oxley produced some engaging sound sculptures that are at once satisfying and magically haunting on a number of levels."
A reviewer for Freq'' stated that, on the album, "Oxley has taken the basic building blocks of percussion and diluted them down to their basest elements, and then magnified those, holding them up to the light and studying them in minute detail." He noted: "these six pieces rise from slow, scattered silence, their scuffling vibrations barely rising above room tone. They feel out the room, touching and gauging; a textural experience to which the electronics add mystery, ever present yet shaded from full view... This album is a soft and seductive delight that throws up new details on each listen and is well worth checking out."

Career
Scheuerl began curling in around 2014.
Scheuerl made his international début at the 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, where he was the second on the German team, which was skipped by Felix Messenzehl. There, the team finished in sixth place.
Scheuerl played second for German team in the team event at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. The team, which was skipped by Benjamin Kapp finished in eighth overall. In the mixed doubles event, he was paired up with Spain's Carmen Pérez. The pair were eliminated after their match up against Nilla Hallström from Sweden and Dominik Szmidt from Poland.
Scheuerl was a member of the German junior men's team from 2022 to 2024, playing second on the rink, which was skipped by Kapp. The team won silver medals at the 2022 and 2023 World Junior Curling Championships, the latter played on home ice in Füssen. The team did not fare as well at the 2024 World Junior Curling Championships, finishing 5th.
For the 2023–24 season Scheuerl, as well as his junior teammates Kapp and Messenzehl, played lead for the Marc Muskatewitz rink for men's play. That season, the team won the Aberdeen Classic. The team also won the German Men's Curling Championship in 2024, earning the rink the right to represent the country at the 2024 World Men's Curling Championship. It would be a World Championship début for Scheuerl.

76500336 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander%20Patrick%20Stewart | Alexander Patrick Stewart | Alexander Patrick Stewart (28 August 1813 – 17 July 1883) was a Scottish physician.
Biography
Stewart son of the Rev. Andrew Stewart (died 1838), minister of Bolton in East Lothian, by his wife Margaret, daughter of Alexander Stewart, tenth lord Blantyre, was born at Bolton on 28 August 1813. His father had graduated M.D. and practised as a physician before his ordination (Scott, Fasti Eccl. Scoticanæ, I. i. 323, II. i. 247). Alexander was educated in the Faculty of Arts of the university of Glasgow, and became a good Greek scholar. He travelled abroad with his family from 1828 to 1830, and thus learnt French thoroughly. On his return he entered the medical faculty, and graduated M.D. at Glasgow in 1838, afterwards making further studies at Paris and Berlin. In 1839 he settled in Grosvenor Street, London, and there practised till his death. In 1850 he was elected assistant physician to the Middlesex Hospital, and became physician there in 1855, in which year he was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. He was lecturer on materia medica, and afterwards on medicine at the Middlesex Hospital, and retired thence in 1866. From 1850 he was an active member of the British Medical Association. He published in 1849 ‘Sanitary Economics,’ and in 1854 (‘Medical Times and Gazette’) a paper on cholera, and several other papers, but his title to recollection rests upon ‘Some Considerations on the Nature and Pathology of Typhus and Typhoid Fever applied to the Solution of the Question of the Identity or Non-Identity of the two Diseases,’ read before the Parisian Medical Society on 16 and 23 April 1840. This paper was reprinted by the New Sydenham Society in 1884. The observations on which it is based were made at the Glasgow Fever Hospital. From the time of Antonius de Haen (1760), a discussion had continued among physicians on the distinction of certain fevers. Johannes Valentinus ab Hildebrand in 1811 regarded the fevers now known as typhus and typhoid, or enteric, as distinct, and Pierre Bretonneau, a few years later, described exactly the morbid anatomy of typhoid fever. Stewart's experience in the post-mortem room at Glasgow led him to believe firmly in the distinction between the two fevers, and in this essay he states clearly, from his own observation of cases, their differences in origin, cause, course, symptoms, and anatomical lesions, while his remarks against the use of purgatives in typhoid fever entitle him to further distinction as one who has contributed to the saving of many lives by pointing out the danger of what had been a prevalent method of treatment. Sir William Jenner's celebrated papers in 1849, 1850, and 1853 are written on the same lines as Stewart's; but as they were based on a far more extended field of personal observation they had more public effect, and are justly regarded as having finally settled the question. Stewart was an elder in the presbyterian church and wrote in 1843 ‘Divide and Conquer,’ and numerous other pamphlets relating to the church of Scotland. He died unmarried at his house in Grosvenor Street on 17 July 1883. He did not attain to large practice, but both his character and attainments were esteemed by the physicians of his time.

The lichen is distinguished from closely related species by its smaller, partly coral-like (scales), the occurrence of soralia on its surface, and in some specimens, the presence of both thamnolic and friesiic acids within the thallus.
Xylopsora canopeorum was declared endangered by the IUCN in 2021 due to habitat specialization, severe fragmentation from historic logging, and increased vulnerability to high-intensity wildfires exacerbated by climate change. Conservation efforts are needed for its survival, with accurate knowledge about its distribution hampered by the challenges of canopy access and the need for specialized observation techniques.
Taxonomy
The lichen was first scientifically described in 2018 by the lichenologists Einar Timdal, Mika Bendiksby, and Rikke Reese Næsborg. The type specimen was collected by the second author from Big Basin Redwoods State Park, California, at an elevation of ; there, it was found growing on the bark of a main trunk of an old Sequoia sempervirens more than in diameter. The discovery was made as part of a survey of epiphytic (i.e., plant-dwelling) lichens growing on nine large redwood trees, which yielded a community of 137 species, including some new to science. The species name canopeorum is derived from the species' habitat, specifically highlighting its discovery within the canopies of ancient redwood forests.
Molecular phylogenetics analyses, using sequence alignments derived from nuclear (ITS and LSU) as well as mitochondrial (SSU) ribosomal DNA data, have robustly positioned X. canopeorum within the X. caradocensis–X. friesii clade. These findings, derived from Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood estimation, and maximum parsimony methods, unanimously affirm the species as a distinct evolutionary lineage.
Description
Xylopsora canopeorum has a thallus that ranges from crust-like to scale-like in appearance, with individual scales () measuring up to 0.5 mm in diameter. These scales often evolve into a coral-like crust as the lichen ages, initially adhering flatly to the surface before standing upright in a manner that seeks the direction of gravity (geotropically imbricate). Sporadically, the lichen forms soralia, structures that release powdery reproductive propagules called , appearing in patches and bearing a bluish hue.
The surface of the thallus shows a color palette ranging from greyish-green to medium brown, with a finish. Its edges may be finely notched or cut, blending in color with the rest of the upper surface. The uppermost layer () of the thallus is relatively thin, reaching up to 15 μm, though it typically lacks a well-defined structure.
Reproductive structures (apothecia), which are common in this species, appear as flat, black without a powdery coating (), measuring up to 0.6 mm across. The edges of these discs remain distinct and may either be smooth or somewhat wavy. The supporting structure of the apothecia () consists of densely packed fungal filaments, darker on the outer rim and lighter towards the center, without crystal formations. The tissue layer beneath the spore-producing layer (hymenium) and the tissue base () share a pale olivaceous brown color, while the very top layer () is dark reddish brown, also devoid of crystals. The spore-producing cells (asci) are club-shaped, approximately 30 µm tall, featuring a thin amyloid structure at the center covered by a cap, containing orange pigment when young.
The spores themselves are ellipsoidal and clear, containing orange pigment when young, measuring 4–7 by 2.5–4.5 μm. Structures known as pycnidia, which would produce asexual spores, have not been observed in this species.
Chemically, X. canopeorum is characterized by the presence of friesiic acid as its major component, with thamnolic acid varying from absent to a minor component. The thallus reacts to certain chemical spot tests, changing color in the presence of para-phenylenediamine (PD) and potassium hydroxide (K), while it shows a bluish-white fluorescence under ultraviolet light (UV+).
Similar species
Xylopsora canopeorum has distinctive morphological characteristics when compared to its close relatives X. caradocensis and X. friesii, particularly in the size and development of its squamules. These squamules are smaller in X. canopeorum, typically under 0.5 mm in diameter, and tend to form a coralloid crust or develop into soralia as they mature. In contrast, both X. caradocensis and X. friesii feature squamules that are significantly larger, reaching diameters of up to 1.0 to 1.5 mm, and lack the sorediate formations seen in X. canopeorum.
The texture and orientation of the squamules also vary between these species. X. caradocensis squamules present a (blistered) or irregularly ascending profile, whereas X. friesiis squamules are more uniform, adhering closely to the substrate or slightly ascending. Furthermore, the ascospores of X. caradocensis are longer, ranging from 6.5 to 14 µm in length, and often show one or three septa, distinguishing them from the typically non-septate and shorter ascospores of X. canopeorum, which more closely resemble those of X. friesii in size. Chemically, both X. caradocensis and X. friesii are known to contain only friesiic acid, setting them apart from the possible chemical diversity observed in X. canopeorum.
Distribution and habitat
Xylopsora canopeorum is exclusively found in the central coastal region of California, with confirmed specimens collected within Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. These locations, situated respectively and away from the Pacific Ocean, are notable for their ancient coast redwood forests, providing a unique ecosystem for this lichen species. The exploration of forest canopies remains limited, largely due to the challenges and specialized skills and equipment needed to access the treetops. Chaenotheca longispora is another lichen found from a similar location in a California State Park and reported as a new species in 2019.
In terms of its ecological niche, X. canopeorum grows on the coarse and fibrous bark of large coast redwood trees, sometimes extending to charred areas of the bark. This lichen is predominantly found at elevations ranging from above the forest floor, growing on the venerable and robust bark surfaces of the redwoods' main trunks. The presence of Xylopsora canopeorum is often associated with a community of other lichen species, including Carbonicola anthracophila, Fulgidea oligospora, F. sierrae, Hertelidea botryosa, and Hypocenomyce scalaris, indicating a shared preference for the biodiverse surfaces offered by the ancient trees of these old-growth forests. The affinity of Xylopsora canopeorum for such stable and aged bark surfaces underscores its specialized habitat requirements within the towering canopies of redwood forests.
Conservation
In 2021, Xylopsora canopeorum was assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as an endangered species in its global IUCN Red List. The lichen is facing significant threats primarily due to its specialized habitat in the old-growth coast redwood forests of Northern California. With a natural range that has dwindled to about 5% of its original size due to historic logging, the species' populations are not only severely fragmented but also continually at risk. This fragmentation has been exacerbated by high-intensity wildfires, such as the one in 2020 that affected its type locality, contributing to a decline in both the quality and extent of its habitat. Climate change poses additional threats by increasing the frequency and severity of such wildfires, potentially leading to further losses and extirpation from significant portions of its range, including a potential 97.7% reduction in extent of occurrence and a 33% reduction in area of occurrence if lost from Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Conservation efforts are needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect the remaining old-growth forests where this species resides. Accurate knowledge about Xylopsora canopeorum is hindered by the challenges of accessing its canopy habitat, necessitating specialized climbing for direct observation and collection, which is strictly regulated within State and National Parks. Additionally, exploring other potential hosts within the family Cupressaceae that share similar bark characteristics to the coast redwood could provide new insights into the species' distribution and resilience strategies.

Characteristics
Açma is a yeast dough pastry, similar to a plaited bread, brioche or Çörek. There are many variations of Açma. The dough typically consists of wheat flour, butter, milk, baking yeast, sugar and salt. The dough is formed into rings, rolls or balls and left to rise again on the baking tray. It is then coated with egg yolk, possibly sprinkled with black cumin or sesame seeds and baked in the oven.
Unlike the Poğaça, an Açma contains butter and usually no egg in the dough. Unlike the Simit, which is rolled in sesame seeds, an Açma is more like a milk bun.
An açma is only slightly sweet, so it can be enjoyed with a sweet spread as well as with salty side dishes such as cheese or olives.
Origin and designation
Açma is popular and widespread throughout Turkey. The place and time of its origin are unknown. No city or region claims to be its place of origin. The word açma probably comes from the Turkish verb açmak 'to open'.

Discovery and naming
The material that was referred to Vango by Murray et al. (2023) includes opercles, hyomandibulae, frontals, and basioccipitals, and other partial gonorynchiform remains from the Maevarano Formation probably also belong to Vango.
Matt Friedman was the first to recognize the presence of a gonorynchiform species in the Maevarano fauna, and Murray et al. (2023) named and described Vango fahiny shortly after.
Description
Vango is similar to the extant milkfish Chanos chanos but can be easily distinguished from that species by numerous features, such as the basioccipital and maxilla being relatively shorter than those of C. chanos, and the opercle being overall rounder and having a shorter auricular process.

76500554 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%20Khalid%20Airport%20Mosque | King Khalid Airport Mosque | King Khalid Airport Mosque () is a congregational mosque and an active place of worship located within the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Built in 1983, the mosque covers an area of 1.4 acres in a hexagonal plan and was designed by the architectural firm HOK. It incorporates elements of traditional Islamic architecture and primarily serves Muslim passengers arriving or departing through Riyadh.
Overview
The mosque was constructed alongside the King Khalid International Airport by architectural firm HOK in 1983 and was opened to worshippers in 1984.
The airport was the first in Saudi Arabia to be built to then-contemporary engineering standards and the mosque was at the time of its construction the most modern mosque in the world, notable for its use of advances in construction and engineering to create a modern complex in a vernacular Arabic style, and for its programme of integral art, at that time the largest in the world, marrying traditional Islamic decorative elements with, and interpreted through, the work of contemporary artists. Hexagonal in plan, and enclosing an area of over , its scale, location and design make it the most dominant building in the passenger complex. The mosque can accommodate 5,000 worshippers inside, with capacity for an additional 4,000 in the surrounding plaza. The mosque's dome, in diameter and internally clad in polished bronze, is internally separated from the lower roof of the building by a seven-foot clerestory ring of stained glass windows, below which runs a calligraphic mosaic band designed by Iranian-Armenian painter Edman Ayvazyan. The hand-cut glass and marble mosaic, measuring and fabricated with Clarke's assistance, was the largest in the world at the time,. The dome's apex, at above the arrivals level roadway, is higher than all the other structures in the passenger complex with the exception of the control tower and minaret. At the time of its construction, the programme of decorative and integral art for the mosque constituted one of the largest single art projects of the period. In the northeast corner of the mosque plaza, a minaret rises above the plaza level. A spiral stairway inside the minaret provides access to loudspeakers that broadcast the prayer calls five times daily. There are of floor space on the main floor of the mosque and another on the mezzanine floor. A Koranic library off of the main mosque floor has of user space and the same amount for storage space. The library, private offices and lavatories are located along the southeast on the southwest walls.
In 1982, through the Vesti Corporation, the British architectural artist Brian Clarke was commissioned to conceive of a scheme of stained glass artworks for the interior of the Royal Mosque. Clarke made a study of Islamic ornament at the Quran schools in Fez and Tangiers for six weeks, and produced a series of abstract designs that engaged with historical pan-Islamic decorative tradition. Completed in 1982 and containing
In the interior, the mosque features artwork, carved marble banks, stained-glass windows and skylights, intricate ceramic-tile patterns, and carved wooden doors and screens which make it a showplace of traditional Islamic art. Passages from the Quran are also carved in the Kufic style of calligraphy form the unifying motif.
Besides weekly Friday prayers, the mosque also hosts the annual Salat al-Eid prayers in its precincts during the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha occasions.
As per the official website, the King Khalid International Airport offers free shuttle services to the mosque for arriving and departing passengers.

Biography
Schomberg was the younger son of Dr. Meyer Löw Schomberg and twin-brother of Ralph Schomberg. He was born at Schweinberg on 14 August 1714. He was entered at Merchant Taylors' School, London, in 1726, and at an early age, under the auspices of his father, commenced practising medicine in London. He had no English degree, and in February 1746–7 he was summoned before the president and censors of the Royal College of Physicians to present himself for examination as a licentiate, but declined the invitation in a letter which was officially termed ‘improbable and indecent.’ In the early part of 1747 he was entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, and on 7 August 1747, when a ‘student at physic of Trinity College, Cambridge,’ he was baptised at St. Mary Woolnoth, London (Registers, ed. Brooke and Hallen, p. 111). On 3 April 1747 he notified the former fact to the censors, with a request that he might be examined after he had procured his medical degree from that university. This request was refused, and, as he still declined to be examined, his practice was interdicted by the Comitia minora of the College of Physicians on 25 June 1747.
Schomberg obtained on 21 July 1749 by royal mandate the degree of M.D. at Cambridge, and thereupon, in order that he might become a candidate for admission to the College of Physicians, claimed his examination; but the censors were ordered by the college not to examine him until his prohibition from practice had been removed on proper submission. On the following 1 December, he again came before the censors, and on this occasion with an apology, but it was deemed insufficient. He then demanded (2 Feb. 1749–50) his examination as a right, on the ground that he was a doctor of medicine of Cambridge University. The examination was allowed, and his fitness for the profession was established; but at the Comitia majora next ensuing his admission to the college was negatived by fifteen votes to two, and the interdict on his practice remained in force. He was naturalised in 1750, and made repeated applications for admission to the college, but they were all refused.
Dr. William Battie was one of Schomberg's principal opponents at the college, and was consequently satirised in the ‘Battiad,’ which is said to have been the joint composition of Moses Mendez, Paul Whitehead, and Schomberg. Two cantos were published (London, 1750), and reprinted in Isaac Reed's ‘Repository’ (i. 233–46).
Schomberg's next step was to appeal for justice to the visitors of the college, and the case came before the lord chancellor and others on 29 November 1751. After several hearings it was determined on 25 July 1753, when the court decided that it had no jurisdiction in the matter. He then applied for examination by the college as a favour; but, on account of the heavy expense of the protracted litigation, the application was refused. On 23 December 1765 he was admitted a licentiate, and as his conduct in the profession had proved satisfactory, and many of his strongest opponents were dead, he was admitted a fellow on 30 September 1771. In 1773 and 1778 he was a censor at the college.
Schomberg gained an influential position among the physicians of London. His acumen and his generosity of character won him many friends, and a short poem by Samuel Bishop on his death lauds his ‘warm benignity of soul’ (BISHOP, Poems, ii. 149).
He was called in, after several other doctors had been in attendance, at the last illness of David Garrick, when the patient, rousing himself from his lethargy, shook the doctor by the hand and exclaimed ‘Though last not least in love’ (Knight, Garrick, p. 289). Hogarth used to give him first impressions of all his engravings, and he was a legatee in William Hogarth's will. He died, unmarried, at Conduit Street, London, on 4 March 1780, and was buried at St. George's, Hanover Square, London. His portrait, by Thomas Hudson, was engraved by William Pengree Sherlock.

76500695 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%20Herradura%2C%20Lima | La Herradura, Lima | La Herradura is a beach located in the Chorrillos District of Lima, Peru. It has been used as a balneario since the beginning of the 20th century and for surfing since the 1960s. Until the 1980s it was one of the most popular beaches in Lima, visited especially by the city's wealthy families. The construction of the road to La Chira beach changed the configuration of the beach and the shore, which was previously sandy, was filled with stones.
Since December 28, 2016, La Herradura has been part of the National Reef Registry (RENARO), a registry of protected waves in the country covered by the law on the preservation of reefs appropriate for sports (law no. 27280).
Overview
La Herradura is located in a place that receives a greater number of hours of sunshine per year compared to the rest of the balnearios in Lima. At the beginning of the 20th century it had a sandy shore, which differentiated it from other spas on the nascent Costa Verde with stones or boulders. Since the construction of the road to La Chira in the 1980s, dynamite blasting changed the configuration of the beach and the shore was filled with stones.
Surf activities
The wave is strong, long and breaks to the left with 3 sections: El Point, La Segunda and La Tercera. The waves can reach up to 4 metres high. It is not suitable for beginners.
Since the 1960s the beach has been used for surfing. There are two versions about the first surf session on the beach. According to , in 1962 or 1963 the surfer Raúl Risso entered the sea alone to test the waves. According to Óscar Tramontana Figallo, the first session occurred in 1965 when five surfers entered: Fernando Arrarte, the brothers Francisco and Carlos Aramburu, Manolo Mendizábal and .
Championship
Since 2008, the Quiksilver Pro Copa Ripley surf championship has been held on the beach, later called Quiksilver Pro La Herradura and in 2017 King of La Herradura. In addition to rewarding the most outstanding surfers, the championship aims to raise awareness to the population about the importance of conserving Peruvian reefs.
History
La Herradura beach has been used as a balneario since 1908. With the construction of the La Herradura tunnel in 1910, the tram of the National Electric Tram Company (CNET) had La Herradura beach as the end point of its route. At the end of 1912, the company went bankrupt and the trams stopped running. The only way to access the place since then was on foot or with a vehicle.
In 1937 the El Suizo restaurant was built. In the middle of that decade the Palm Beach Club was built. Then, in the 1950s, the Las Gaviotas building was built. In the 1980s, the location where the Kon Tiki restaurant was located was reopened as the La Maquina del Sabor salsódromo.
On January 31, 1963, the Caplina, an oil tanker, got stuck 120 metres from the beach, where it could be easily seen.
In the early 1980s in Lima, the surf was affected by the construction of the road from La Herradura beach to La Chira beach. The construction of the work in 1983, carried out under the order of the then mayor Pablo Gutiérrez Weselby, without any technical study to support it, affected the cliff, the seabed, the width of the beach, the surf and the ecosystem of the area. The dynamite blasts carried out generated rocks that ended up on the seabed. Due to the above, on June 14, 1990, the Association for the Conservation of Beaches and Waves of Peru (ACOPLO) was formalized, bringing together a group of surfers and promoters of environmental conservation. ACOPLO became the second association in the world dedicated to the protection of wave breaks, after the Surfrider Foundation, created in 1984.
In 2004, a GREMCO project sought to build a marina on the beach. Based on the mobilizations of local surfers and the negotiations between the international organisation Save The Waves and the real estate company, the project was stopped.
In 2011, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima during the administration of Mayor Susana Villarán invested more than S/.11 million with the objective of restoring and modernizing the beach boardwalk.
From 2010 to 2014, a dolphinarium located at the beach's surroundings housed two bottlenose dolphins that were transferred from a hotel in the city's financial district and whose captivity was a matter of local controversy.
Protection status
On December 28, 2016, Directorial Resolution No. 1306-2016 MGP/DGCG was issued that protects the La Herradura surf based on a request established in a letter from the National Board Sports Federation (FENTA) in May 2016. The protection of the surf was the result of the 'Do it for your Wave' campaign organized by Carolina Butrich of the Peruvian Society of Environmental Law (SPDA), FENTA, companies such as Quiksilver and civil society made up of Peruvian neighbors and surfers, like Claudio Balducci and Diego Villarán.

76500704 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheater%27s%20Game | Cheater's Game | Cheater's Game is a 2013 studio album by American country musicians Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis, released on Robison's Premium Records label. The work was the second of four recordings released by the couple and received positive reviews from critics and commercial success on several Billboard charts.
Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Thom Jurek writing that the musicians' "organic, relaxed, unforced approach is deceptively high in performance skill, yet resonates with an emotional depth that rings true throughout". Jim Caligiuri of The Austin Chronicle rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that the singers "prove themselves greater together than apart on Cheater's Game". In No Depression, Jim Moulton praised the singing and song selection but criticized the mixing as being too loud. Steve Horowitz of PopMatters gave this release an 8 out of 10, stating that "the duo also have good taste in other people’s songs, which they make their own through their distinctive interpretations"; editors at the site named this the 10th best Americana album of the year. In The Washington Post, Jeff Wisser called Cheater's Game an album of "breezy harmonies, subtle shadings of acoustic sounds and Robison’s knowing story-songs blended with expertly chosen covers make for a winning country formula".

76500705 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga%20von%20T%C3%BCrk-Rohn | Olga von Türk-Rohn | Olga von Türk-Rohn, also known as Baroness von Türk-Rohn and by her maiden name Olga von Rohn (3 June 1865 – 26 February 1940) was an Austrian soprano and voice teacher. She began her career as a concert soprano in 1887 and then worked as an opera singer in Graz from 1888 to 1890. She also sang in one opera with the Vienna State Opera before her marriage to Baron Camillo von Türk in either 1891 or 1897.
After her marriage, Türk-Rohn ceased performing in operas. She was a celebrated concert soprano in Europe from the 1890s into the early 1910s. She drew particular acclaim for her performances in oratorios and German lieder, and was regarded as a leading interpreter of the works of Franz Schubert; a distinction which was acknowledged through several honors, including the Franz Schubert Silver Medal. Her voice from this period is preserved on several recordings she made in Vienna and in Germany from 1905 to 1907. She also taught on the voice faculties of two music schools in Vienna: the Lutwak-Patonay-Konservatorium and the Neues Wiener Konservatorium.
In 1913 Türk-Rohn immigrated with her family to the United States after receiving a contract to perform in operas with a company managed by Oscar Hammerstein I. The planned opera performances never materialized, but Türk-Rohn performed in concerts and recitals in the United States beginning in late 1913. World War I interrupted her performance career. She was living in New York City in 1923 when she relocated to Chicago to join the faculty of Esther Harris's Chicago College of Music. She remained in Chicago for the rest of her professional life, working as a voice teacher both privately and for a variety of different music schools in that city. She ended her teaching career as dean of the vocal department of the The Chicago Conservatory College in the mid 1930s. She was also active as a recitalist, concert and radio singer, and conductor while living in Chicago during the 1920s and 1930s. She moved back to New York City late in her life, dying there in 1940.
Early life and opera career
Born Olga Carolina Ludovika von Rohn in Vienna on 3 June 1865, Türk-Rohn was the daughter of Robert Freiherr Rohn (also given as Rohnau) and Carolina Anna Tyll. She was encouraged to pursue vocal training and a career as a singer by Mathilde Marchesi who heard her sing at the age of fifteen. Some sources claim her first lessons were with Marchesi at this age, and others that she did not begin her training until later under other teachers.
Türk-Rohn pursued a singing career against the wishes of her parents. She trained as a soprano under the instruction of opera singer Ida Liebhardt-Baier in her native city. She began her career on the concert stage in 1887, and in 1888 made her opera debut at the Stadttheater Graz (predecessor to the Graz Opera). She was a resident artist at that theatre for two years. She starred in Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz at the Vienna State Opera (VSO) in 1888 under conductor Wilhelm Jahn. Despite Jahn's efforts to persuade the directors of the VSO to hire Türk-Rohn for further engagements, she was not offered another contract with the company.
Marriage and career as a concert soprano in Europe
Olga retired from the opera stage upon her marriage to Baron Camillo Franz Johann Türk Edler von Karlovacgrad who was State Attorney of Austria at the time of their wedding. Some sources claim their marriage took place in Vienna on October 6, 1891, and others that they were married in 1897. The couple had three daughters together, Elvira, Bertha (also given as Hertha), and Maude. The Oesterreichisches Musiklexikon claims that the couple divorced a few years after their marriage and that her husband's year of death is unknown. However, this account is contradicted in Türk-Rohn's 1940 obituary in The New York Times which states the couple were still married when Türk-Rohn moved to the United States in 1913. This publication indicates that the baron lived with his wife and their three daughters in the United States until the baron's death in that country in 1926.
After ceasing opera performance, Türk-Rohn continued to perform as a concert soprano. She studied singing in Vienna with Leo Friedrich and Gustav Walter, focusing particularly on lieder with the latter teacher. Her singing drew the admiration of both composer Johannes Brahms and Austrian music critic Eduard Hanslick whose praise did much to further her career as a concert soprano in Austria during the 1890s. The remainder of her singing career was mainly dedicated to the performance of lieder, oratorio, and other sacred vocal works, and she performed internationally in that repertoire from the 1890s until World War I. In addition to performing lieder by Brahms with the composer's support and attendance, Türk-Rohn's repertoire also encompassed lieder by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss, Wilhelm Kienzl, Gustav Mahler, and Edvard Grieg among other composers.
On 18 April 1895 Türk-Rohn was the soprano soloist in the world premiere of Johann Strauss II's waltz for voice and orchestra Klug Gretelein, Op.462 at the Musikverein. The concert was organized by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Musikverein, and featured conductor Eduard Strauss leading the Strauss Orchestra. The orchestra and Türk-Rohn's performance of the work was heavily applauded at the premiere, and the work was repeated at the behest of the audience.
Türk-Rohn was an early champion of composer Robert Winterberg, and was one of the soloists in the very first professional concert of his music at Ehrbar Saal (English: Ehrbar Hall) inside the Palais Ehrbar. In 1906 Türk-Rohn and Winterberg were invited to Peleș Castle in Sinaia by Elisabeth of Romania where they gave a concert of Winterberg's music for the queen. She also developed a close working relationship with Czech composer Rudolf Procházka (1864–1936), and performed his Das Glück in concerts in Vienna, Prague and Pilsen.
In the early 20th century Türk-Rohn gave concert tours of Austria, Germany, and Italy in which her repertoire consisted of lieder, opera arias, and religious vocal works. She gave performances at the Theater an der Wien in 1896, 1900, and 1903, and performed at the Tyrolean State Theatre in Innsbruck in 1903. In 1910 she sang at the Stadttheater, Hamburg. She also taught singing briefly on the faculty of the Lutwak-Patonay-Konservatorium before joining the voice faculty of the Neues Wiener Konservatorium in 1909.
Türk-Rohn gained a reputation as one the finest interpreters of lieder written by Schubert. The city of Jablonec nad Nisou completed a monument to Schubert in 1900 which included a statue of Türk-Rohn in which she was depicted as one of the singing muses for the composer. In 1901 she was awarded a gold medal from the Vienna Schubert Society, and in 1912 she was awarded the Franz Shubert Silver Medal by the combined Shubert Singing Societies of Vienna. She was the recipient of honors from Franz Joseph I of Austria. Carol I of Romania, Ferdinand I of Bulgaria, and Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar, the Shah of Persia. She also awarded the Salvator gold medal by the city of Vienna in 1901 in recognition of her performances in many concerts for charity in the city. She made several recordings of lieder by Schubert, Brahms, and other composers with various Viennese record labels and the German record label Odeon Records from 1905 to 1907. She also recorded Johann Strauss II's Voices of Spring.
Later life and career in the United States
In 1913 Türk-Rohn immigrated to the United States with her family to join the roster of artists in Oscar Hammerstein I's opera company. The plans for her appearance with the opera company never materialized. She gave a concert at Cooper Union in Lower Manhattan with violinist Alexander Saslavsky and pianist Leopold Rovenger on November 13, 1913. In February 1914 she performed in concert with the French harpist Carlos Salzedo at Brunswick Hall in Brunswick, New Jersey, and the following month performed in a concert of German music sponsored by Wanamaker's at Egyptian Hall, Masonic Temple in Philadelphia. She then embarked on a lengthy concert tour of the United States. This tour was interrupted by World War I, and her performance career mainly ceased. Herman Spielter served as her accompanist during many of her recitals in the United States in 1914.
Türk-Rohn's daughter, Bertha Türk-Rohn, was also a concert and opera singer. Bertha married Russian-born bass-baritone and voice teacher Reinhold von Warlich in 1923. At the time of their marriage, Olga von Türk-Rohn was living in New York City at 52 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018. Later that year, both she and conductor Ernst Knoch were visiting instructors at Esther Harris's Chicago College of Music (CCM), and it was announced at the end of this visit in December 1923 that Türk-Rohn had joined the voice faculty of Harris's school. A 1926 review of a student recital program stated that the concert included performances from all fifty-five of Türk-Rohn's voice students at the CCM. A 1927 advertisement for the school in The Reform Advocate listed her as the head of the voice program of the CCM.
By December 1925, Türk-Rohn was also working as a private voice teacher in Chicago with a studio located at the Congress Plaza Hotel. A June 1928 advertisement for her private studio indicates that it was then located at the Kimball Building (now the Lewis Center at Depaul University). By early 1932 at the latest she had joined the voice faculty of the Bush Conservatory of Music in Chicago. In August 1932 the school merged with The Chicago Conservatory College. She ended her teaching career as the dean of the vocal department of this school in the mid 1930s.
After relocating to Chicago, Türk-Rohn resumed performing on a periodic basis. She gave a recital at Kimball Hall inside the Kimball Building in Chicago on November 13, 1924. By 1925 she had founded her own opera chorus which she conducted in performances from the Drake Hotel for radio broadcasts on WGN (AM) in June, November, and December 1925. In November 1925 she sang in concert with the Gordon String Quartet at Orchestra Hall, Symphony Center, and later sang a concert broadcast on WLS (AM) with The Little Symphony of Chicago on November 27, 1925.
In April 1926 Türk-Rohn performed a program of songs broadcast on WMAQ radio (now WKQX). In 1927 her opera ensemble performed a benefit concert at Kimball Hall to raise money for wounded United States veterans and the Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Administration Hospital. In 1929 she was the assistant music director for a Passion Play staged at the Auditorium Building. In 1935 she conducted a concert of grand opera at the Chicago Commons auditorium. In 1936 she sang at a "peace meeting" in New Brunswick, New Jersey reuniting with Herman Spielter as her pianist, and also sang with an orchestra led by conductor Fred Hart. The meeting was organized by New Brunswick's mayor Austin Scott. In 1937 she was a judge for The New Jersey Federation of Music Clubs music competition.
At the end of her life, Türk-Rohn lived in New York City where she made her home at 32 E 36th St New York, NY 10016. She died there on 26 February 1940. Her daughter Maud was listed as the executer of her estate and her cause of death named as general arteriosclerosis coronary sclerosis in the New York, New York, U.S., Index to Death Certificates, 1862-1948. That same record stated she was buried at Tresh Paul Cemetery.

The consulate general originated from the consulate opened in 1722, which was converted into a consulate general in 1850. The tasks of the consulate general included consular services, promotion of trade relations, cultural and political relations, matters concerning the maritime industry, and more.
The consulate general's district initially encompassed the United Kingdom and Ireland. The district later comprised United Kingdom and Northern Ireland as well as associated islands. In 1973, the consulate general was merged into the Swedish embassy.
History
In 1772, a consulate was established in London with United Kingdom and Ireland as its area of operation. According to King in Council's decision on 18 January 1786, the consul's income consisted of ship tonnage fees based on a tariff, which, according to the National Board of Trade circular on 21 August 1833, was to continue to be applied during the consul's tenure (letters patent of 29 June 1833). The consulate, whose district was to include United Kingdom and Ireland and surrounding islands according to the decision on 1 October 1823, was maintained by letters patent on 25 May 1850, as a consulate general for United Kingdom and Ireland. By letters patent on 14 April 1869, the consul general received a fixed salary (6,000 riksdaler Hamburger banco excluding office expenses), in addition to which the following salaried officials were employed as his assistants:
Vice consul, also secretary (salary 2,500 riksdaler Hamburger banco), clerk, also accountant and registrar (salary 1,500 riksdaler Hamburger banco), two office clerks (salary for each 1,000 riksdaler Hamburger banco).

The consulate, whose district was to include United Kingdom and Ireland and surrounding islands according to the decision on 1 October 1823, was maintained by on 26 October 1877, the district of the consulate general was restricted to England and Ireland, and the salaries were designated in Swedish currency, so that the consul general received 24,000 SEK, the vice consul 10,000 SEK, the clerk 6,000 SEK, and the two office clerks 4,000 SEK each. However, the consul general received a personal salary supplement of 3,000 SEK from 1907 to 1913. The office clerk positions were abolished in 1906, and other salaries were reduced, but they were raised again at the Riksdag of 1910, so that they amounted to 21,000 SEK for the consul general, 9,000 SEK for the vice consul (from 7,200), and 5,500 SEK for the clerk, excluding four age supplements of 300 SEK each (previously 3,600 SEK). In addition, the salary for the second clerk position, established in 1909, was raised from 3,600 to 4,000 SEK in the same year (with age supplements equal to those of the first clerk). The latter salary was further increased to 4,500 SEK in 1913.
The consulate general was transferred to the Swedish embassy in 1973.
The consulate general remained vacant from July 31 of the same year.

On 29 September 1910, the chancery of the consulate general moved to 63 Finsbury Pavement in the London Borough of Islington. At the end of September 1919 the chancery moved to 329 High Holborn in Holborn, Central London. It remained there until 1947. In 1948, it moved to 14 Trinity Square, next to Byward Street in the City of London. At the same address, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the United Kingdom had been located since 1921.
In 1949 the address was 27 Portland Place in the Marylebone district of Central London, the same as the Swedish embassy, but from 1950 the address was again 14 Trinity Square. It remained here until 1969. In 1969 the house was to be sold and the chamber of commerce moved to new modern premises. From 1970 until its closure three years later, the consulate general was located at the same address as the Swedish embassy, at 23 North Row in Mayfair, across the street from Marble Arch.

76500823 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron%20Butler | Cameron Butler | Cameron Butler (born June 9, 2002) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger for the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Butler played for the Ottawa Jr. 67s under-14 team from 2014–15 to 2015–16, recording 40 points in 30 games. He attended St. Andrew's College, Aurora, where he played for the hockey team, scoring four points in 2016–17 and one point in 2017–18. He also was a member of the York Simcoe Express U16 team in 2016–17, totaling 21 goals and 21 assists, and in 2017–18, scoring 57 points on 27 goals and 30 assists.
Butler was selected in the second round – 27th overall – by the Peterborough Petes in the 2018 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection. In his first year with the team, he suited up for 66 games and scored 18 goals along with eight assists, for 26 total points. Butler played 39 games with the Petes in the 2019–20 season and scored 12 goals with nine assists before being traded to the Niagara IceDogs, with which he totaled six goals and seven assists while appearing in 27 games.
Butler was eligible for the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, but went unselected. No games were played in the 2020–21 OHL season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He became team captain of the IceDogs in 2021–22 and had 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) in 24 games before being traded in January 2022 to the Oshawa Generals. He finished out the season with them and had five goals and 13 assists in 40 games. Butler returned to the Generals for the 2022–23 season and recorded 55 points (27 goals, 28 assists) in 63 games.
Butler signed an amateur tryout contract (ATO) near the end of the 2022–23 AHL season with the Cleveland Monsters. He appeared in three games that season for the team. On March 16, 2023, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL). He played most of the 2023–24 season with the Monsters.
On March 30, 2024, Butler was added to the Blue Jackets' roster as an emergency recall. The team's captain, Boone Jenner, had informed them that he was ill shortly before the game and the Blue Jackets had no extra players, "[b]ut there was a forward [Butler] ... two hours up the road." Butler was contacted and told to come as soon as possible. He "had the good fortune not to get pulled over as he raced" to the stadium in time for the game, arriving only a few minutes before it started. He ultimately played one shift – 54 seconds – in his NHL debut, a 4–3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. He returned to the Monsters after the game.
International career
Butler played for Team Canada White at the 2018 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. He appeared in five games, recording no statistics.
Personal life
Butler was born on June 9, 2002, in Ottawa, Ontario.

Dalian K'un City plays its home matches at the Dalian Youth Football Training Base Main Stadium, located within Ganjingzi District.
History
Founded as Liaoning Pilot Free Trade Zone Dalian Area Huayi Football Club () on 9 May 2022, Dalian Huayi entered the 2022 Chinese Champions League (CMCL) as the winner of the CMCL berth from the qualification route in Dalian. Dalian Huayi were drawn into a group with Changchun Shenhua and Liaoning Leading, a group which Dalian Huayi finished second in, thus qualifying for the knock-outs, where Dalian Huayi faced Dalian Jinshiwan. A 0–0 draw in the first leg and a 1–0 loss in the second leg meant that Dalian Huayi were knocked out of the competition, and the match separated by a Sui Donglu goal marked Dalian Huayi's end for the 2022 season.
The club enrolled in the CMCL for the 2023 season again, this time being drawn into group H. After topping their group and winning twice more, Dalian Huayi advanced into the final round, being drawn into group B. Picking up four wins, two draws, and one loss, Dalian Huayi finished third of eight in their group, setting up a knock-out tie with Rizhao Yuqi. Tied at 1–1 in normal time, Dalian Huayi were defeated 3–2 on penalties, eventually finishing the season in seventh overall, missing out on promotion. However, on 6 February 2024, Dalian Huayi were admitted into China League Two, as sufficient teams above them in the Chinese football pyramid have either pulled out or dissolved. In accordance with the Chinese FA's name neutralisation policy, Dalian Huayi changed their name to be Dalian K'un City Football Club on the same day.
On the opening day of the 2024 China League Two season on 23 March 2024, Dalian travelled to Langfang Glory City, with the match finishing 1–0 for Dalian K'un City. The goal from Liu Zhizhi secured Dalian K'un City's first ever win in China League Two, the highest level the club has played in thus far.

Its name means deep water in the Mayan language and. at deep, it is the second deepest known blue hole in the world after the deep Dragon Hole in the South China Sea.Blue holes generate a distinctive blue color when seen from above and are typically only a few dozen meters deep.
It was discovered in about 2003 by a local diver who followed a grouper that went into into its mouth. The hole was forgotten until the son of that fisherman began working with marine academic Juan Carlos Alcérreca-Huerta, who took soundings of its depth and was surprised by the results.
The mouth of the hole is nearly circular, with a major axis measuring , oriented about 10.76 degrees clockwise from North -- similarly to the orientation of major faults in the area.

Biography
From 1801 to 1810 Sherlock exhibited at the Royal Academy, sending a few portraits, but principally watercolour landscapes in the style of Richard Wilson, to whom his works have sometimes been attributed. He drew most of the illustrations to William Dickinson's ‘Antiquities of Nottinghamshire,’ 1801–6, and the portrait of the author prefixed to that work was engraved from a miniature by him. In 1811 and the following years he published a series of soft ground-etchings from his own watercolour drawings, and those of David Cox, Samuel Prout, Thomas Girtin, and other leading watercolour artists of the day. A series of drawings in watercolour by W. P. Sherlock, representing views in the immediate neighbourhood of London, was preserved in the print-room at the British Museum. They are not only of great historical interest, but also show him to have been an artist of remarkable merit.

76501036 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New%20Jersey%27s%20Affidavit%20of%20Merit%20Statute | New Jersey's Affidavit of Merit Statute | New Jersey’s Affidavit of Merit Statute (NJ Rev Stat § 2A:53A-27 (2013)) was signed into law in 1995. The statute states that if a person sues for injury, death, or property damage because of a professional's mistake or carelessness, they must provide a special letter from an expert within 60 days after the other side responds to their lawsuit. This affidavit must indicate that the professional had some duty of care and there is a reasonable chance the defendant's performance or actions did not meet the expected professional standards.
If justified, the court may allow a one-time extension of up to 60 days for filing this affidavit. If the defendant is a specialist, as in medical malpractice cases, the expert witness must also be a specialist or subspecialist recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties or the American Osteopathic Association in the same specialty or subspecialty as the defendant. The expert must have also devoted the majority of their professional time in the year before the incident either to the active clinical practice of that specialty/subspecialty or to instruct students in an accredited program in that specialty/subspecialty. In non-medical cases, the affiant must be a licensed professional with at least five years of substantial experience in the relevant field or specialty and must not have any financial stake in the lawsuit's outcome, although they can still serve as an expert witness.
The goal of the Affidavit of Merit statute is to “weed out” frivolous and baseless legal claims against certain professionals. If a plaintiff fails to provide an affidavit of merit, the case is dismissed with prejudice for noncompliance because there was a failure to state a cause of action. However, there is an exception to the rule; in some cases, the breached duty of a licensed professional can sometimes be so obvious to anyone of average intelligence that a court may find that an affidavit of merit is not needed. Nevertheless, courts often note that this exception only applies in rare cases.
History
The affidavit of merit statute was enacted on June 29, 1995, and was designed and intended to introduce common sense and equity into New Jersey’s litigation system. The Statute has seen changes over the years. In 2021 in the case, Yagnik v. Premium Outlet Partners and Pennoni Associates, the New Jersey Appellate Division ultimately concluded that a court could make an exception to the statute’s timelines for substantial compliance and other extraordinary circumstances.
Originally, the only licensed professionals the State required an affidavit of merit for were dentists, physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, registered nurses, and certain healthcare facilities. In 2001, pharmacists, physical therapists, and midwives were added. As used in this act, "licensed person" means any person who is licensed as:
a. an accountant;
b. an architect;
c. an attorney admitted to practice law in New Jersey;
d. a dentist;
e. an engineer;
f. a physician in the practice of medicine or surgery;
g. a podiatrist;
h. a chiropractor;
i. a registered professional nurse;
j. a health care facility;
k. a physical therapist;
l. a land surveyor;
m. a registered pharmacist;
n. a veterinarian.;
o. an insurance producer;
p. a certified midwife, certified professional midwife, or certified nurse midwife; and
q. a licensed site remediation professional
Example
The case of Towles v. Hudson County Department of Corrections involves the Estate of Jenifer S. Towle and her father Brice Towle suing Hudson County, Hudson County Department of Corrections, and CFG Health Systems, LLC (CFG) over Jenifer Towle's death while in custody at the Hudson County Department of Corrections. The Affidavit of Merit (AOM) statute plays a key role in this case. The plaintiffs were required to provide an AOM from an appropriate licensed expert within 120 days of CFG filing its answer, stating there was a reasonable probability that the care provided fell outside acceptable standards. However, the plaintiffs initially filed an AOM from a doctor not qualified in the same specialty as the potentially liable healthcare providers identified by CFG. The trial court initially granted the plaintiffs an extension to file additional AOMs, finding extraordinary circumstances despite the technical failure to comply with the statute. However, on CFG's motion for reconsideration, the court later reversed its decision and dismissed the case, finding the plaintiffs' failure to timely file a proper AOM was not excused by extraordinary circumstances. The court held that neither the lack of a Ferreira conference nor the plaintiffs' counsel's inadvertence in mislabeling the case constituted extraordinary circumstances that would allow the late filing of the AOMs.
Controversy
New Jersey’s Affidavit of Merit Statute is not without controversy:
Compliance is required
Courts have consistently held that strict compliance with the statute's requirements is necessary, and failure to properly file an affidavit of merit will result in the dismissal of the plaintiff's claims. For example, in one case, a plaintiff's affidavit was dismissed because the expert witness providing the affidavit had an expired license, even though the expert had sufficient experience in the field. The court ruled that the requirement for a currently licensed expert is not a mere technicality, and failure to comply leads to dismissal.
Confusion of applicability to different professions
Another area of controversy has been the scope and applicability of the statute. The statute lists specific licensed professions that require an affidavit, but there has been debate over whether it applies to other healthcare providers not explicitly listed. In one case, the court held that the statute does not apply to a radiology technician, an unlicensed position, reasoning that the list of professions in the statute is exclusive. However, the status of nurse practitioners remains unclear, as they are not explicitly listed but have a more advanced scope of practice than licensed practical nurses.
Timing and pleading requirements
The timing and pleading requirements of the affidavit have also been sources of controversy. The statute requires the affidavit to be filed within 60 days of the defendant's answer, with a possible 60-day extension. Courts have grappled with how this requirement applies when the pleadings are amended to add new defendants or claims. In one case, the court held that the 60-day clock starts from the initial answer, not subsequent amended pleadings. However, the court also recognized exceptions for "extraordinary circumstances" that may justify a later filing.
Balancing protections for professionals
Underlying much of the controversy is the need to balance the protections afforded to licensed professionals under the statute with the rights of plaintiffs to have their claims heard. Courts have recognized the statute's purpose of weeding out frivolous claims, but have also cautioned against interpretations that could undermine this goal. For example, one court refused to dismiss cross-claims against an engineer who had the plaintiff's claims against him voluntarily withdrawn, reasoning that the engineer should not lose the statute's protections simply because the plaintiff chose to discontinue the case. The court sought to preserve the delicate balance between the co-defendants' and the professional's rights.

76501078 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%20Pampilla%2C%20Peru | La Pampilla, Peru | La Pampilla is a beach located in Miraflores District, Lima and is part of the Costa Verde beach circuit in Peru. It is used as a surfing area and balneario by the residents of the districts near the beach since the early 1970s. It is considered a cradle of Peruvian surfers.
It is protected by the state since April 8, 2016 from Directorial Resolution No. 0220-2016 of the Peruvian Navy, within the framework of the Breakwater Law.
Pollution with solid waste and drainage into the water and on the beach is frequent.
Overview
The beach is 350 m long and is covered with pebble stones. The wave break goes to the right and can reach up to 2 m high. The wave is popular all year round for all types of surfers and board sizes: for both newbies and veterans, and from shortboards to longboards.
National and international board and padel championships have been held, such as the La Pampilla Longboard Classic, held annually since 2014 or the Campeonato Mundial ISA de StandUp Paddle (SUP) y Paddleboard in 2012 and 2013.
In 2017, lights were installed that make it possible to surf the waves at night.
Conservation status
The contamination of the waters and shores in La Pampilla with fecal coliforms, construction and domestic waste is frequent due to the poor management of garbage and drainage by some Lima districts such as Villa El Salvador, Magdalena del Mar, Villa María del Triunfo and Chorrillos.
In 2015, the Municipality of Lima placed boulders on the beach without authorisation, leading to opposition and their ultimate removal with an apology by then mayor Luis Castañeda.
The Peruvian government passed the "breakwater law" in 2016 to protect it from infrastructure efforts and other threats.

76501164 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege%20of%20Toron | Siege of Toron | The siege of Toron was a military engagement between the armies of the German Crusade and the Ayyubid garrison of Toron. The Crusader army besieged the city from November 1197 to February 1198. The siege ended in failure for the Crusader forces.
Background
Taking advantage of the Ayyubid concentration at Jaffa, king Amalric, with the help of the German Crusaders under Henry of Barbant, launched a campaign to capture Sidon and Beirut. Sidon had already been demolished when the Crusaders arrived there. Sidon was occupied and marched towards Beirut. The governor of Beirut, Usama, seeing no help coming from Al-Adil, decided to destroy the walls and withdraw from the city, thus allowing the Crusaders to capture it.
Siege
Encouraged by their success, the Germans, under Archbishop Conrad, marched towards the castle of Toron and laid siege to it on November 28, 1197. The Crusaders then began undermining the castle walls. Setting fire under the walls made them collapse. Due to this, the Ayyubid garrison offered to surrender by giving up the castle and freeing 500 Christian prisoners lying on the dungeons in exchange for their lives. Conrad, however, demanded unconditional surrender, and the Levantine Crusaders, fearing that a massacre might provoke a Muslim jihad, sent to warn Al-Adil that the Germans wouldn't spare any lives.
Seeing that negotiations did not lead any results, the Ayyubid garrison took arms and defended the castle vigorously. They managed to destroy the tunnel the Crusaders had built, burning and slaughtering them, with some being dragged outside and beheaded from the walls. The Germans began to grow tired of the siege. Meanwhile, the Germans received news that their emperor, Henry, had passed away, forcing Conrad and his men to raise the siege. On February 2, 1198, an Ayyubid relief army was marching towards Toron and the Germans were prepared to meet them. However, rumors spread that the high-ranking lords had escaped, prompting them to retreat towards Tyre.
Aftermath
Thus ended the German Crusade of 1197; it brought nothing to restore German prestige again, but it did help the Levantine Crusaders capture Beirut. Once the Germans went home, King Amalric made a peace treaty with Al-Adil, giving him control of Jaffa while the Crusaders got Beirut. Sidon was divided between Christians and Muslims. Lasting for 5 years and 8 months, proving advantageous to Al-Adil.

76501311 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry%20Spencer%20Smith | Henry Spencer Smith | Henry Spencer Smith (12 September 1812 – 29 November 1901) was an English surgeon.
Biography
Smith was born in London on 12 September 1812. He was the younger son of George Spencer Smith, an estate agent, by Martha his wife. After education at Enfield he entered St. Bartholomew's Hospital in 1832, being apprenticed to Frederic Carpenter Skey, with whom he lived, and whose house surgeon he afterwards became. He was admitted M.R.C.S. in 1837, and in 1843 he was chosen one of the 150 persons upon whom the newly established degree of F.R.C.S. England, was conferred without examination; of this band he was the last survivor.
He proceeded to Paris in 1837, studying medicine there for six months, and from 1839 to 1841 he studied science in Berlin. On his return to England he was appointed surgeon to the Royal General Dispensary in Aldersgate Street, and he also lectured on surgery at Samuel Lane's school of medicine in Grosvenor Place. When St. Mary's Hospital was founded in 1851 Spencer Smith became senior assistant surgeon. Three years later, when the medical school of St. Mary's Hospital was instituted, he was chosen dean, and filled the office until 1860; for seventeen years he lectured on systematic surgery. He received from both colleagues and students valuable presentations on his resignation. He was member of the council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (1867–75), and of the court of examiners (1872–7). He was secretary of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London (1855–88). Caring little for private practice, Smith gave both time and thought to the welfare of the newly founded St. Mary's Hospital and its medical school. He died at his house, 92 Oxford Terrace, W., on 29 November 1901. His library, rich in medical works of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as well as in editions of Thomas a Kempis and of Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler, was sold by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge on 14, 15, and 16 Nov. 1878, and on 17 and 18 June 1897. He married (1) Elizabeth Mortlock, daughter of John Sturges, by whom he had a son and a daughter; and (2) Louisa Theophila, daughter of the Rev. Gibson Lucas.
Smith translated from the German, for the Sydenham Society, Dr. Theodor Schwann's 'Microscopical Researches into the Accordance in the Structure and Growth of Animals and Plants' (1847) and Dr. M. J. Schleiden's 'Contributions to Phytogenesis' (in the same volume). These translations gave an impetus in this country to the microscopic study of the tissues.

76501326 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacety | Spacety | Spacety is a Chinese satellite technology company established in 2016 with a focus on the development, manufacture, and operation of micro/nano-satellites for various applications including earth observation, scientific research, and communication.
History
Spacety was founded in 2016 with the ambition to democratize access to space by providing cost-effective satellite solutions.
As of November 2019, Spacety had 70 employees working in Changsha and Beijing, with nine missions and 15 satellites in orbit. By April 2020, Spacety has expanded its satellite constellation to 18 satellites.
On December 9, 2023, two of the company's satellites were placed in orbit by the Zhuque-2 rocket, marking the company's 18th mission and bringing the total number of satellites in orbit to 30.
Technology and Services
Spacety specializes in the rapid development and deployment of micro and nano-satellites. These satellites support a wide range of applications, from high-resolution earth observation imaging to scientific experiments in space.
One of the company's flagship services is its satellite-as-a-service offering, which allows customers to access satellite data without the need for owning and operating their own satellites. This service is designed to lower the barrier to entry for organizations looking to utilize space data for their operations.
Spacety provides small satellite platforms with masses of 10, 20 to 50 kg, and 200 kg. By 2020, the company has received several rounds of venture capital funding totaling about $36 million. The company aims to provide fast and low-cost satellite services to entrepreneurs and startups worldwide, with a record time of four months and 21 days from signing a customer to launch.
Satellite Constellation
Spacety is developing a Laser Communication Aviation Internet Constellation consisting of 288 satellites at an altitude of 1000 km, forming a high-angle low earth orbit constellation with 12 orbital planes, each containing 24 satellites. This constellation aims to achieve 100% global coverage, offering broadband access for flights at any location.
Spacety is also involved in the Gamma Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID) project, an astrophysics constellation of 24 satellites developed in cooperation with the Tsinghua Centre for Astrophysics (THCA). The main scientific objective of GRID is to identify and locate the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave bursts detected by LIGO.
Developments and Partnerships
In September 2019, Spacety set up a subsidiary in Luxembourg to expand its engagement with European firms.
Spacety has partnered with ThrustMe, a French space propulsion startup, to test light, inexpensive solid ion thrusters for CubeSats and small satellites to provide a measure of maneuverability and address the issue of space debris.
Spacety collaborated with Hunan University of Science and Technology to develop the Spacety-33 satellite for orbital scientific experiments. Utilizing the RROS, a dual-kernel, real-time operating system crafted in Rust by Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, marked the inaugural deployment of a Rust-developed kernel in space applications.
International reception
United States
In February 2023, Spacety was added to a U.S. trade blacklist. U.S. officials alleged that the company had provided satellite images to the Russian paramilitary company Wagner Group.
Luxembourg
In March 2023, Luxembourg's economy and foreign ministries filed a case against Spacety's Luxembourg subsidiary, Spacety Luxembourg S.A., for its alleged ties to Moscow.
Following the sanctions, Spacety Luxembourg S.A.'s office contract in Belval was terminated. Several institutions, including the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and the University of Luxembourg, suspended their collaboration with the company. LIST had been using high-resolution images provided by Spacety for risk reduction, while the university collaborated on mechanical systems for removing space debris.
Spacety Luxembourg S.A. has denied all allegations regarding its ties to Russia and the provision of satellite images to the Wagner group.

In 2021 he left Brabrand IF for professional football. After a short intermezzo as parttimer in Skive IK he gained a full time contract in Vendsyssel FF. Anton Søjberg played in Vendsyssel FF for two years, and was then offered a new contract. He turned the offer down, and moved to Iceland to play for HK Kópavogur.
After a few months in Iceland it became clear to him, that the club could not match his ambitions, and he decided to use a clause in his contract to have it terminated.

In 2019, Maron co-founded Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum and Education NYC (PLACE NYC) to oppose Bill De Blasio's plans to widen access to selective middle and high schools. She co-founded the New York City Chapter of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism and served as its interim Executive Director in 2023.
She has run unsuccessfully for the District 1 City Council election and the 10th and 12th congressional districts. Her comments have been criticized as racist and transphobic.
Activism
PLACE NYC
In 2019, Maron and Yitin Chu formed Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum and Education NYC (PLACE NYC) to oppose Bill de Blasio's attempts to shift away from screened middle and high schools. Maron served as co-president. PLACE argues that the city's schools are failing their students, that the city should redouble its focus on academics, and that racism does not contribute to the city's underperforming schools. Other parental groups have described it as shifting rightward.
In October 2023, Maron stepped down as co-president of PLACE.
Legal Aid Society
Maron worked as a Senior Staff Attorney for the Legal Aid Society. In July 2020, Maron wrote an opinion piece critical of a NYC DOE anti-bias training session. The Black Attorneys of Legal Aid caucus released a tweet criticizing the piece and stating "It is obvious to anyone with any sense of racial justice that Maud is racist and openly so". The Legal Aid Society's official Twitter account retweeted it. Maron sued the LAS, stating her colleagues had unfairly labeled her a racist, but lost the lawsuit.
Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism
In 2021, Maron and Yiatin Chu co-founded the New York City Chapter of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, which advocates against Critical Race Theory and advocates a "human first" mindset critics have likened to "All Lives Matter". In 2023 Maron served as interim Executive Director of FAIR following internal power struggles in the organization.
Moms for Liberty
Members of PLACE leadership have promoted local chapters of Moms for Liberty in their private discussion forums and Moms for Liberty has praised PLACE. In January 2024, Maron spoke at a panel organized by Moms for Liberty, who she has described as "one of the more dynamic and genuinely diverse parents groups to emerge from the school closure era." Maron told the New York Daily News she was not a member of Moms for Liberty, and in a statement the organization confirmed Maron was not a member. When speaking to Gay City News, Maron stated "I am, at this point, a member of Moms for Liberty, yes I am". The flyer for the event listed her affiliation with the educational council but did not issue a disclaimer that the views expressed were her own. Maron was criticized at a District 2 CEC meeting for her participation in the Thursday panel. At the meeting, she described a protester identifying herself as a "proud queer woman" as "a straight girl without a boyfriend", drawing criticism.
Political Campaigns
Community Education Council District 2
From 2019 to 2021, Maron was president of the Community Education Council (CEC) for District 2. In 2019, the student organization Teens Take Charge rallied against NYC's segregated school system. The group called on Maron to resign from the CEC following her criticism of the city's proposals for a more culturally diverse curriculum and implicit bias training. At the October 2020 meeting of CEC 2, Maron was removed as President of the council by a vote of 6 - 5. In 2023 Maron was elected to CEC 2 again by a margin of 1/2 vote.
2021 District 1 City Council election
In 2021 she ran in the Democratic primary for the District 1 city council seat with endorsements from the Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association and Police Benevolent Association, stating her priorities would be to get schools fully reopened and prevent the opening of a new jail in Chinatown. She stated she favors Kathryn Garcia and Eric Adams for Mayor. The campaign was unsuccessful and she continued to run as an independent. In November, She won 14% of the vote and lost to Christopher Marte.
2022 Congressional District elections
In 2022, Maron ran against Carolyn Maloney in the Democratic Primary for New York's 12th Congressional District raising concerns about the inclusion of transgender women in college athletics, stating "Now, any dude who feels like a woman is supposed to be treated like a woman. That’s absurd".
Maron also ran in the Democratic Primary for the 10th Congressional district, calling for revisions to the Biden administration's proposed updates to Title IX and exclusion of transgender people from women's athletics and "single sex spaces". Maron stated the policies would one of her top issues if she were elected, arguing that the inclusion of protections for gender identity will do "real damage to girls and women". Maron finished last at 2% of the vote.
Stuyvesant School Leadership Team
Since December 2023, a petition to remove Maron to remove Maron from the School Leadership Team of Stuyvesant High School has gained over 700 signatures. It was circulated after she was quoted in a NY post article calling an anonymous student author a "coward" guilty of "Jew hatred" and calling for their name to be public for their op-ed.
Views
Maron argues that Critical Race Theory has influenced how teachers educate their students, though CRT is not taught in the city's public schools, and that extended classroom discussions on race are unnecessary.
Maron has opposed mask mandates in public schools.
Maron has described city schools as an "oppressor woke environment where DOE employees make them pledge allegiance to their LGBTQI+ religion." Parents and teachers called for her removal from the CEC District 2 board following a story published by the 74 million which revealed private texts in which Maron stated "there is no such thing as trans kids" and "the social contagion is undeniable" when replying to a parent's concerns about the number of LGBTQ+ youth in their child's school. A DOE spokesperson called the comments "despicable and not in line with our values". In February, Maron led a resolution urging Eric Adam's education officials to restrict transgender girls’ athletic participation.
Personal life
Maron was born in Manhattan and lived in Pennsylvania before returning to Manhattan in the 1980's to attend Barnard College.
Maron is a mother of four, is married to Juan Pablo, and has lived in District 1 for the last 20 years. She is a convert to Judaism.

Held annually in different European cities home to Erasmus Student Network local sections, the games bring together hundreds of participants from multiple countries worldwide.
A conception of ESN Poland and ESN Italy, the first International Erasmus Games were hosted in Kraków, Poland, in 2015. Since then, the games have had seven editions hosted in seven cities in six different countries. The eighth edition of the games are set to be hosted in Wrocław, Poland, from 30 May to 2 June 2024.
History
The International Erasmus Games were initiated by a coordinated effort of ESN Poland and ESN Italy. The first edition of the games, hosted in Kraków, Poland, were called ESN Team. The second edition of the games were hosted in Milan, Italy. Since the second edition, the games have been called the International Erasmus Games. The regular three sports of 3x3 basketball, futsal, and volleyball were established after they were played at both of the first two editions of the games.
The third edition of games were hosted in Porto, Portugal in 2017 and featured tennis in addition to the regular three sports. The fourth edition of the games, hosted in Niš, Serbia, also featured tennis. Paris, France, hosted the fifth edition of the games in 2019, which saw a return to the regular three sports being played. Future editions of the International Erasmus Games were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Erasmus Games returned following the COVID-19 pandemic with the sixth edition of the games in Coimbra, Portugal in 2022. The sixth and seventh editions of the games, the latter of which were hosted in Madrid, Spain, featured athletics in addition to the regular three sports.
The eighth edition of the games are set to be hosted in Wrocław, Poland, from 30 May to 2 June 2024.

76501447 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005%E2%80%9306%20Swiss%201.%20Liga | 2005–06 Swiss 1. Liga | The 2005–06 Swiss 1. Liga was the 74th season of this league and was, at this time, the third tier of the Swiss football league system. The 1. Liga was the highest level of amateur football, although an ever-increasing number of teams had professional or semi-professional players in their ranks, this also included the U-21 teams, the eldest youth teams of the professional clubs.
Format
There were 48 teams in this division this season, including eight U-21 teams which were the eldest youth teams of the professional clubs in the Super League and the Challenge League. The 1. Liga was divided into three regional groups, each with 16 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their positions in the league. The three groups winners and three runners-up, together with the two best third placed teams, then contested a play-off for the two promotion slots. The U-21 teams were not eligible for promotion and could not compete the play-offs. The two last placed teams in each group were relegated to the 2. Liga Interregional.
Group 1
Last season's group winners Lausanne-Sport had achieved promotion to the second tier. Further, ES FC Malley and Stade Lausanne Ouchy had been relegated and were no longer represented in this division. New clubs in this season were Signal FC Bernex-Confignon and SC Düdingen who had both been promoted after winning their 2. Liga Interregional groups. FC Bulle joined the group after being relegated following the 2004–05 Challenge League season. Also new to the group was Servette. During February 2005, the parent company of the club was declared bankrupt and as a consequence their U-21 team took over the club name playing two divisions below the original Servette team.

Group 2
Last season's bottom two clubs FC Alle and FC Langenthal had suffered relegation. They were replaced by FC Kickers Luzern and SV Muttenz who had both been promoted after winning their 2. Liga Interregional groups respectively. FC Laufen were also promoted after being the best second placed team. Last season's group champions FC Biel-Bienne had missed promotion and remained in the group.

Group 3
Last season's bottom two clubs FC Chur 97 and FC Gossau had suffered relegation. Last season's group winners FC Tuggen had missed promotion and remained in the group. However runner's-up Locarno had achieved promotion, winning the play-offs. Theses teams were replaced by FC Rapperswil-Jona who had been promoted after winning the 2. Liga Interregional group 5 the previous season. Further new to this group were SC Cham and Zug 94 who had played the previous season in group two.

Runners-up in this group were UGS, who missed their promotion attempt, being defeated by Servette in this play-off final. Group 2 champions were Biel-Bienne and runners-up were Delémont, who had been relegated two season before. Biel-Bienne failed in their promotion attempt, but Delémont achieved promotion winning against group 1 third placed team Étoile Carouge in the finals. In group 3 champions Tuggen, runners-up Red Star and third placed Herisau all failed in the play-off qualification. From group 1 Signal FC Bernex-Confignon and Grand-Lancy FC were relegated. From group 2 FC Schötz and SC Buochs and from group 3 FC Altstetten and FC Frauenfeld also suffered the same fate and continued the next season in the 2. Liga Interregional.
The remaining teams in the 1. Liga were to be joined in next season by Sion U-21, FC La Tour/Le Pâquier, FC Mendrisio-Stabio, FC Olten and FC Gossau, all of whom had won their 2. Liga Interregional groups. Winterthur U-21 as best second placed team also achieved promotion.

76501456 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret%20Whyte%20%28medical%20doctor%29 | Margaret Whyte (medical doctor) | Margaret Whyte MB BS (1868 - 25 April 1946) was a medical doctor from Melbourne, Australia. She graduated as a doctor with the top grades in her class of 1891, and along with her classmate Clara Stone, this made them the first women to graduate as doctors in Victoria. While she qualified for a residency at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, she was denied her place because of her gender, and so took an appointment in 1892 at the Royal Women's Hospital instead. She was the first woman resident at the hospital.
Early life
Margaret Whyte was born in Victoria in 1868 to Patrick Whyte, a headmaster of the Model School in Carlton.
Studying medicine
In 1887, women were not permitted to study medicine in any university in Australia, including at the University of Melbourne. Whyte had been refused entrance to medicine when she responded to a newspaper advertisement posted by Lilian Alexander, and Helen Sexton seeking fellow women interested in studying medicine at the university. Whyte was one of five women who responded, Grace Vale, Clara Stone, and Elizabeth and Annie O'Hara.
Together they actively agitated through their connections on the University council, and through the media to force the University to allow them to enrol in Medicine. On the 21 February 1887, the university council met and approved a motion to allow women into medicine, ten votes to three. All seven women were enrolled, and graduated, with Stone being one of the first, graduating with Whyte in 1891.
During her studies, Whyte earned the praise of Thomas Naghten Fitzgerald for her skills in dissection and surgical work.
In 1892, Whyte was elected as the assistant resident at the Royal Women's Hospital.
Later life
Whyte met Horatio Percy Martell, (1862-1932) a fellow doctor at the Royal Women's Hospital, they were engaged in 1892, and married on 16 April 1895
In April of 1902, Whyte, then known as Dr. Martell, was appointed as the senior resident surgeon in the Midwifery department of the Royal Women's Hospital. The hospital had been having issues with pressures on staff, and when she was hired she was required to work alone. The hospital were in the process of recruiting an assistant for her, but anticipated difficulty filling the role due to her gender. Whyte resigned in June of the same year.
Whyte passed away on 25 April 1946

76501472 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored%20Symmetry%20%28book%29 | Colored Symmetry (book) | Colored Symmetry is a book by A.V. Shubnikov and N.V. Belov and published by Pergamon Press in 1964. The book contains translations of materials originally written in Russian and published between 1951 and 1958. The book was notable because it gave English-language speakers access to new work in the fields of dichromatic and polychromatic symmetry.
Structure and topics
The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a translation into English of A.V. Shubnikov's book Symmetry and antisymmetry of finite figures (Russian: Симметрия и антисимметрия конечных фигур) originally published in 1951. As the editor says in his preface, this book rekindled interest in the field of antisymmetry after a break of 20 years. The book defines symmetry elements, operations and groups; it then introduces the concept of antisymmetry, and derives the full set of dichromatic three-dimensional point groups. A paper entitled Antisymmetry of textures is appended to part 1; it analyzes the antisymmetry of groups containing infinity-fold axes.
The second part, entitled Infinite groups of colored symmetry, consists of translations of six papers by N.V. Belov and his co-workers in the new field of polychromatic symmetry. These papers cover the derivation of the 42 magnetic Bravais lattices and the 1651 magnetic space groups, the 46 dichromatic plane groups, mosaics for the 46 dichromatic plane groups, one-dimensional infinite crystallographic groups, polychromatic plane groups, and three-dimensional mosaics with colored symmetry.
Audience
The book is written for crystallographers, mathematicians and physics researchers who are interested in the application of color symmetry to crystal structure analysis and physics experiments involving magnetic or ferroelectric materials.
Reception
The book had a mixed reception from reviewers. Allen Nussbaum in American Scientist praised the editor for constructing a consistent story from the original works, but criticised the papers in part two for being difficult to read. G.S. Pawley in a review for Science Progress gave credit to the editor for adding the international notation next to the authors' "retrograde personal notation". However, he criticised claims that the book is a "valuable reference book" as being "optimistic". Martin Buerger in an extensive review for Science also offered both praise and criticism. He stated that previous work in the field by William Barlow and H.J. Woods is not given sufficient credit by the authors and is largely missing from the, otherwise full, bibliography. He praised Shubnikov's book (part 1) as being "very clearly written, well illustrated, and easy to understand", but criticised Belov's papers in part 2 because they "lack a central unifying theme." R.J. Davis in a brief review in Mineralogical Magazine said "this book is therefore unique in English and forms an essential introduction to modern developments in symmetry theory."
Influence
In later reviews of the literature by R.L.E. Schwarzenberger and by Branko Grünbaum and G.C. Shephard in their book Tilings and patterns the work of the Russian color symmetry school led by A.V. Shubnikov and N.V. Belov was put into its proper historical context. Schwarzenberger, and Grünbaum and Shephard, give credit to Shubnikov and Belov for relaunching the field of color symmetry after the work of Heinrich Heesch and H.J. Woods in the 1930s was largely ignored. However, they criticise Shubnikov and Belov for taking a crystallographic rather than a group-theoretic approach, and for using their own confusing notation rather than adopting the international standard Hermann–Mauguin notation for crystallographic symmetry elements.

Development
The HS.138 was a light attack aircraft with vertical take-off and landing. It was designed to combine the ability to achieve high speeds when attacking a target with the low-speed search and strike capabilities of an attack helicopter. It would have used four RB.202 lift fans with a thrust of 4670 kgf each and two RB.172 main engines with a thrust of 2300 (3480) kgf each. The strike version had a crew of two and could carry weapons with a total weight of 907kg. The combat radius would be 213 km at a speed of 1050 km/h.
