76502737 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley%20Shaftel | Stanley Shaftel | Stanley Shaftel was an American architect, real estate developer, professor, and veteran of the United States Navy best known for his work throughout the New York metropolitan area.
Biography and career
Stanley Shaftel was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 14, 1924. He attended Brooklyn Technical High School, and he joined the United States Navy after graduating, serving as a Naval pilot from 1942 to 1943. He began practicing architecture in New York City soon thereafter, having graduated from Oklahoma A&M College with a degree win architecture. He began his own architectural practice in 1952 and eventually moved his office to 310 Northern Boulevard, in the University Gardens section of Great Neck, New York.
As an architect, Shaftel mainly specialized in designing houses for large-scale suburban housing developments and in custom-built homes, working on projects in 16 states. Many of his works were noted for their modern design features, and a number of his higher-end homes were further included for their indoor swimming pools. A number of his earlier homes were collaborations between him and his first wife, Betty: he would design the house and she would decorate the interiors.
In the mid-1950s, shortly after opening his own practice, Shaftel undertook one of his first large-scale projects, designing 60 ranch and split-level homes in a development in Roslyn Estates, New York. He would then design the houses in the 150-home Laurel Ridge development in Port Jefferson, New York, three years later, in 1957. In 1958, he would design the homes in the Suburban Greens development in Plainview, New York. In 1959, he designed houses in the 410-home Avalon Gardens development in Merrick, New York. That same year, he designed the houses in the 2,400-home North Point development in Huntington, New York – the largest housing development built on Long Island, at the time, since Levitt & Sons developed Levittown.
In the 1960s, Shaftel continued to design homes for countless large-scale suburban developments. He designed 60 homes for the Shaker Ridge development in Commack, New York, and 100 homes in 1963 for the Eastwood Knolls development in East Northport, New York. In the mid-1960s, Shaftel designed the homes for the Stratford Woods development in Flower Hill, New York; he also most homes in that village's Wildwood housing development – with some of the others being designed by others, such as A.H. Salkowitz.
Another architect, Alfred Akner, would eventually begin working with Shaftel, with the firm becoming Shaftel & Akner.
In the mid-1980s, Shaftel designed the houses in the 42-home Greentree at Whispering Fields development in Northport, New York. He designed three variants of homes for the development: a colonial variant (known as the "Red Maple"), a country ranch variant (known as the "White Birch"), and a contemporary variant (known as the Blue Spruce"). One of these homes – the development's model home – would eventually be purchased and become a group home for people with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Shaftel also served as a professor of architecture at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, New York.
Death
Stanley Shaftel died on December 26, 2003, aged 79.
Personal life
Stanley Shaftel was married twice. He was married to his second wife, Corrine, for 47 years, until his death; they resided in Las Vegas at the time of his death, having previously lived in Kings Point, New York. They had three daughters and several grandchildren.

76502743 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%20Windet | James Windet | James Windet (died 20 November 1664) was an English physician.
Biography
Windet erroneously said to have been originally of Queen's College, Oxford (Foster). He graduated M.D. at Leyden on 26 June 1655, and was incorporated at Oxford on 27 March 1656. He became candidate or member of the College of Physicians of London on 25 June 1656. He at first practised at Yarmouth, but after 1656 in London. In 1660 he published in London two Latin poems, ‘Ad majestatem Caroli secundi Sylvæ duæ.’ The first begins with the word ‘occidimus,’ and is on the execution of Charles I; the second begins with the word ‘vivimus,’ and is on the Restoration. In 1663 he published ‘De vita functorum statu,’ a long Latin letter, with numerous passages in Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic, addressed to Dr. Samuel Hall, in reply to a letter from him. It begins with a general discussion of the word ‘Tartarus’ and of the Greek and Hebrew words and phrases used in describing the state of man after death, and goes on to consider the Greek and Hebrew views on the state and place of the good, on a middle state, and on the place of the wicked with related subjects. A second edition was published at Rotterdam in 1693. He was a friend of Sir Thomas Browne. Simon Wilkin, who had examined Windet's letters to Browne, states that they are uninteresting and pedantic. He died in Milk Street, London, on 20 November 1664 (Smyth, Obituary, p. 62). Wood (Fasti Oxon. ii. 790) states that he left a quarto manuscript of Latin poems.

76502805 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euchiton%20traversii | Euchiton traversii | Euchiton traversii, commonly known as mat cudweed, is a small, woolly, alpine rosette herb. It forms a mat-like habit, hence the common name, in alpine wet heath and grasslands. The species is present in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, and the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
Distribution and habitat
Euchiton traversii is found in Australia in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, and both North and South Islands of New Zealand. It grows in alpine and subalpine areas, often in bare patches within wet healthland and grasslands.
Habit
Euchiton traversii grows between 2-10cm high, with one solitary or a few slender stems. The leaves are 1-3cm long and 4-5mm wide and are coloured silvery-grey or white with a prominent midvein. Small trichomes (hairs) cover both adaxial (upper) and abaxial (lower) leaf surfaces, with the hairs thinning towards the apex of the leaf. The leaves are mostly basal and rosette in form (growing at the base in a circular arrangement) and are oblanceolate to spathulate (spatula-like) with a broad apex and narrow base. The petiole is equal to or less than the leaf width at the base.
E. traversii flowers in summer. Flower heads are solitary with 8 or more florets and pappus that are white in colour. The flower heads are 4-6mm long, and are woolly at the base. The bracts are pressed closely to the flower head, and are typically straw coloured with either a red-purple tinge towards the apex or a red-purple band below the apex.
E. traversii can be confused with Argyrotegium mackayi (synonym E. argentifolius; Gnaphalium argentifolium). A. mackayi has shorter stems around 1.5cm long and shorter elliptical leaves that grow basally and along the stem.
Plant morphology
The Euchiton genus was once recognized as being part of the Gnaphalium genus, with Euchiton traversii previously called Gnaphalium traversii.
A study into the morphometric differences of Euchiton have supported that E. traversii is a well-delimited taxa. E. traversii is closely related to E. lateralis, but has been shown to be a distinct species. Some other Euchiton taxons are less well-delimited, with further information needed to clarify the taxonomy and genetic boundaries of the genus.
Conservation and threats
This species is listed as Vulnerable under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Threatened List (Victoria). It is listed as Rare on the Australian Capital Territory Rare Plant List. It is not listed as a threatened species in any of its other locations (Tasmania, New South Wales, or New Zealand).
Euchiton traversii is threatened by introduced deer, with a study in the Australian Alps identifying that the species is likely to be palatable, easily accessed, and trampled by deer. Other threats have not been widely researched.
A species with similar habit and habitat, Argyrotegium nitidulum (shining cudweed), is listed as Vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth), with possible threats including warming alpine conditions reducing available habitat, developments causing disturbance, and competition from invasive species.
There are no current specific management plans or conservation advice for E. traversii (as of March 2024). A 2017 management plan for Clemes Tarn Snow Patch in Mt Field, Tasmania, suggests that future efforts work towards accurately identifying E. traversii to differentiate it from similar species to produce better management actions.

76502857 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%20Malakal%20Airport%20collision | 2024 Malakal Airport collision | On March 31, 2024, a Boeing 727-200 operated by Safe Air Company scheduled to fly from Juba International Airport to Malakal Airport, South Sudan, undershot the runway after experiencing technical issues. The plane collided into a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 that had crashed around two months earlier in the same airport. Out of the seven occupants on board, everyone survived with only one injured.
Background
Almost two months before the crash, on February 9, 2024, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 owned and operated by African Express Airways crash landed at the same airport as the Safe Air Boeing 727 did, touching down short of the runway before losing its landing gear, coming to a stop on its belly. It was moved away from the runway for the airport to start operating again.
Aircraft
The accident aircraft was a 45 year old Boeing 727-2Q9 owned and operated by Safe Air, a Kenyan airline founded in 2007. Its registration was 5Y-IRE, and its MSN was 21931/1531.
It was owned by Avianca as N202AV in 1979, before being sold to SAM Colombia with the same registration in 1992. Only two years after, the aircraft was sold to DHL Air UK with registration N741DH, being converted into a freighter. After almost two decades being with DHL Air UK, it was sold to a private owner in South Africa. Five years later it was sold to Safe Air. In 2021, it was used to evacuate Afghans from Kabul, carrying up to 320 occupants on the same flight. It was owned by Safe Air at the time of the accident.
Accident
On March 31, 2024, the Boeing 727-200 took off from Juba Airport carrying supply's and other cargo. After 1hr of flight, they finished cruising and were descending when they started to experience technical problems with the aircraft. They decided to make an emergency landing, performed by the captain. Upon approach, the plane touched down a few meters off of the runway, causing the tires to burst. The captain lost control of the aircraft, sending it hurdling off of the runway, and finally striking the previously mentioned McDonnel Douglas MD-82 that was off of the runway. It sustained substantial damage, while the Boeing 727 split into two sections, thus being written off. There were no fatalities and one reported injury.
Investigation
An investigation is currently ongoing to try to figure out why the aircraft crashed.

76502859 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Taylor%20Warren | John Taylor Warren | John Taylor Warren (1771 – 6 October 1849) was an English physician.
Biography
Warren was born in 1771. He was the son of Thomas Warren of Dunstable, Bedfordshire. He entered Merchant Taylors' school in 1780, and afterwards studied medicine at St. George's Hospital, where he became a favourite pupil of the great surgeon, John Hunter. At the outbreak of war at the French revolution, Warren was appointed assistant surgeon in the 20th dragoons, a regiment raised for service in Jamaica. After serving in that island for some time he was ordered to St. Domingo. There he was appointed surgeon of Keppel's black regiment, but before joining, owing to the mortality among European officers, he was nominated surgeon to the 23rd infantry or Welsh fusiliers, and thence was promoted to the post of staff surgeon to the forces. In 1797 he returned to England with invalids, and, having distinguished himself by his activity and skill, he was placed at the recruiting depôt in Chatham barracks, subsequently at Gosport, and finally in the Isle of Wight, where he gained the friendship of Sir George Hewett, the commander of the forces stationed there.
In 1805 Warren was appointed deputy-inspector of military hospitals, and was placed in charge of the home department. In 1808 he proceeded to Spain with a detachment of English troops, and, after being present at Vimiero, accompanied Sir John Moore on his expedition. When the troops embarked at Coruña he was placed in charge of the wounded, and was the last English officer to leave the shore. In 1816 he was appointed inspector-general of hospitals, succeeding his friend James Borland in the Mediterranean station. He retired from the regular service in 1820. He acted for many years as vice-president of the Army Medical Benevolent Society for Orphans, and as trustee of the Society for the Widows of Medical Officers. In 1843, in recognition of his services, a silver vase was presented him by his brother officers and friends. He died on 6 October 1849 at his house on the Marine Parade, Brighton, and was buried in the family vault at South Warnborough, Hampshire, where his brother, Thomas Alston Warren, was rector. In 1800 he married Amelia, daughter of the Chevalier Ruspini. She survived him, leaving an only daughter.

76502947 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%20Wallis%20%28physician%29 | George Wallis (physician) | George Wallis (1740 – 29 January 1802) was an English physician and author.
Biography
Wallis was born at York in 1740. He studied medicine, and, after gaining the degree of M.D., obtained a large practice at York. He was much attached to theatrical amusements, and besides other pieces composed a mock tragedy entitled ‘Alexander and Statira,’ which was acted at York, Leeds, and Edinburgh. In 1775 a dramatic satire by him, entitled ‘The Mercantile Lovers,’ was acted at York. The play possessed merit enough for success, but it sketched too plainly the foibles of prominent citizens of the town. Through their resentment Wallis lost his entire medical practice, and was obliged to remove to London, where an expurgated edition of the play appeared in the same year. In London he commenced as a lecturer on the theory and practice of physic, and in 1778 published an ‘Essay on the Evil Consequences attending Injudicious Bleeding in Pregnancy’ (London, 1781, 2nd edit. 8vo). He died in London, at Red Lion Square, on 29 January 1802.
Besides the works mentioned, he was the author of:
‘The Juvenaliad,’ a satire, 1774, 4to.
‘Perjury,’ a satire, 1774, 4to.
‘Nosologia Methodica Oculorum, or a Treatise on the Diseases of the Eyes, translated and selected from the Latin of Francis Bossier de Sauvages,’ London, 1785, 8vo.
‘The Art of preventing Diseases and restoring Health,’ London, 1793; 2nd edit. 1796; German translation, Berlin, 1800.
‘An Essay on the Gout,’ London, 1798, 8vo.
He edited the ‘Works of Thomas Sydenham on Acute and Chronic Diseases,’ London, 1789, 2 vols. 8vo, and the third edition of George Motherby's ‘Medical Dictionary,’ London, 1791, fol.

Biography
He was born in Grodno in 1863 to Yosef HaCohen, and his wife, Haniya bat Tzvi.
He studied in the yeshivas of Eišiškės and Białystok. While in Bialystok, he assisted the Yisrael Meir Kagan, known as the Chofetz Chaim, during his visit to the city. Kagan subsequencly chose him as a son-in-law for his daughter Gittel. Kagan agreed to support the young couple after they were married unless he moved to Israel, in which case he would no longer be obligated to support them financially. The two were married in Elul 5642 and Rabbi Aaron moved to live near his father-in-law in Radun, Belarus, where he taught in the yeshiva and assisted his father-in-law in writing and disseminating his books.
His brother-in-law describes this period:
"He sat in his father-in-law's house for many years, and received Torah, fear of Heaven and good middot from his father-in-law of blessed memory, and studied with him for many hours. And he helped him arrange his works, and he grew up, and was a prominent and accomplished rabbi."
Rabbi Aryeh Leib Popka
Around 1902 Aharon moved with his wife to serve as rabbi in the town of Mikališkiai, Kėdainiai, where in 1913 he published his book "Avodat HaKorbanot". Afterwards he served as rabbi in the town of Švenčionys, where in 1924 he published the second part of his book "Avodat HaKorbanot".
About this period he wrote:
"And God graced me in my youth to merit serving His holy nation for many years during the time I was close to the holy Chofetz Chaim... and for many years I would travel between various cities for a set period each year and with God's help my words made a strong impression everywhere I went and achieved greatly in elevating the banner of Torah and mitzvot as our sages said "Words that come from the heart enter the heart" and all my travels were without receiving any payment"
From the introduction to his book Chesed L'Avraham
In 1926 he immigrated to Israel. At first he lived in the Sha'arei Hesed neighborhood of Jerusalem, however due to the dispute between the zealots and Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook he left Jerusalem and moved to Jaffa, where he replaced Rabbi Yosef Zvi HaLevy in running the founded by Zerah Barnett. In 1928, due to ill health, he retired from running the yeshiva. On the 25th of Shevat 5676 (18th of February 1936) he passed away and was buried in the Mount of Olives Jewish Cemetery. His wife Gittel passed away on 23rd of Tammuz 5709 (July 20, 1949).

76502993 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%20Henry%20Wakley | Thomas Henry Wakley | Thomas Henry Wakley (21 March 1821 – 5 April 1907) was an English surgeon and journalist.
Biography
Wakley was the eldest son of Thomas Wakley. He was born in London on 21 March 1821. With a view to taking holy orders, he was educated, preparatory to matriculation at Oxford, by a private tutor, the Rev. James Basnett Mills, a son of a partner in the printing firm Mills & Jowett, who printed the 'Lancet' in its early days. Wakley resided in Oxford for a short time without matriculating; as the son of a prominent radical, he probably found the atmosphere uncongenial. Then entering the University of London, he took up medicine at University College. Among his teachers were Samuel Cooper, Robert Liston, Richard Quain, and Erasmus Wilson; the last named coached him privately. Continuing his medical studies in Paris, he there not only attended surgical lectures and clinics, but also devoted much time to music and singing under Garcia and Ronconi. In 1845 he became M.R.C.S., and in 1848 was elected assistant surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital. Taking a house in Guilford Street near the hospital, he filled the position of an informal casualty surgeon. As a young untried man, nearly all of whose studies had been pursued abroad, he incurred the hostility of his father's enemies, who held his appointment to be a breach of principles of hospital administration which his father's newspaper, the 'Lancet,' was vigorously upholding against abuses. Wakley was accused of malpraxis in treating a child for fracture complicated with scarlet fever, and an action was brought against him. In spite of the mental strain, he passed the examination for the fellowship of the College of Surgeons on 6 December 1849, four days before the trial came on. The jury found a verdict for Wakley without leaving the box. Wakley soon moved to No. 7 Arlington Street, where for many years he practised as a consulting surgeon. As a surgeon his name is chiefly associated with the invention of a form of urethral dilator and with the use of glycerine in the treatment of affections of the external auditory canal (cf. Clinical Reports on the Use of Glycerine, ed. W. T. Robertson, 1851).
In 1857 his father made him and his youngest brother, James Goodchild Wakley, part proprietors of the 'Lancet,' with a share in the management. In 1862 the father died. The youngest son, James, became editor, while Thomas maintained an active interest in its conduct. Until 1882, when he retired from practice, he pursued the double occupation of consulting surgeon and journalist. Upon the death of James Wakley in 1886 he assumed the editorship in association with his son Thomas. Thenceforth, until near his death, he devoted himself to his journalistic duties. Although he lacked the training of a journalist, he was a practical and shrewd editor, and maintained the position of the paper. The active management devolved in course of time on his son, but Wakley always kept in his own hands the 'Lancet' relief fund to meet accidental distresses of medical practitioners and their families, which he and his son founded and financed from 1889. To the last he helped to direct the Hospital Sunday Fund, which had been virtually founded by his brother. He manifested his interest in Epsom College for the sons of medical men by a donation in 1902 of 1000l. in the name of the proprietors of the 'Lancet.'
Wakley's energy was unbounded. When young he was a fine runner; he hunted until late in life, was a good shot, and fond of fishing. He died on 5 April 1907 of cardiac failure and senile decay, his last illness being practically his first. Wakley married in 1850 Harriette Anne, third daughter of Francis Radford Blake of Rickmansworth. She survived him, with a son, Thomas [see infra], and a daughter, Amy Florence.
Wakley wrote little. An article on diseases of the joints in Samuel Cooper's 'Dictionary of Practical Surgery' (new ed. revised by S. A. Lane, 1872) is the most important of his publications.
Wakley's only son, Thomas Wakley (1851–1909), born in London on 10 July 1851, was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied medicine but took no degree. After he left Cambridge a serious bicycle accident interrupted his medical studies for some six years, but having entered St. Thomas's Hospital he became L.R.C.P. in 1883. Thenceforth he worked in the 'Lancet' office, first as assistant to his uncle, James Wakley, then as editor, later on his uncle's death in 1886 as joint-editor with his father, and finally as sole editor in succession to his father. A good amateur actor, a prominent freemason, and a numismatist, he died on 5 March 1909 of a gradually progressive hepatitis. He married in 1903 Gladys Muriel, daughter of Mr. Norman Barron, by whom he left one son, Thomas.

76502998 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swim%20school | Swim school | swim school are a Scottish indie rock band from Edinburgh. Formed in 2020, the band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Alice Johnson, bassist Lewis Bunting and drummer, Billy McMahon. All three members share songwriting credits.
Their debut EP, making sense of it all, was released in 2021, featuring singles "outside" and "anyway". They would then subsequently release singles leading into 2023, including "delirious" and "don't leave me behind", which would appear on their 2023 EP, duality.
History
2019 - 2021: Formation and making sense of it all
Swim school were formed in 2019, with members Alice Johnson and Lewis Bunting being on the same music course in college, who were later combined with Matt Mitchell who knew Bunting from school, their debut performance being in support of Billy McMahon's previous project, Indigo Velvet.
After a hult in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band would go onto release singles from their first EP, including "let me inside your head" and "everything you wanted", leading to the annoucement of the debut long-form project in June 2021.
2022 - present: duality
The first single from the group's second EP, "kill you", was released in November of 2022 and began the formation of the second project from the band, duality, after Johnson came to the group with the track and they all "loved it". In addition, the second single and their most popular single to date "delirious" was also featured on the EP, written around sexism in the music industry, after built up emotions and previous negative experiences Johnson had experienced performing on stage. "don't leave me behind" was also featured on the tracklist, a song described as having a "90s twist" and owning a "neat, raw quality".
March 2023 would see the band support Lovejoy on their 2023 Inselaffe Tour, as well as releasing their latest single "BORED" within the same month of duality'''s release, June. Two further singles, "Give Me A Reason Why" and "To Grow" would see the band into 2024, along with the announcement of their first headline tour, the "Seeing It Now Tour" with acts including Lizzie Esau in support.
Artistry
The band's music style has been described as "a Halsey-fronted version of Nirvana", as well as being compared to My Bloody Valentine and Johnson's vocals have been noted as "Hayley Williams-esque". The band themselves have also described themselves as "Tesco value Wolf Alice" and Johnson noted in a 2021 interview with Dork'' that "Ellie is the reason i'm even in a band; I owe everything to her."

76503016 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QW-2%20MANPADS | QW-2 MANPADS | The QW-2 (NATO reporting name: CH-SA-8) is a Chinese man-portable infrared homing surface-to-air missile (SAM) MANPADS. The system has improved performance against targets flying faster and at lower-altitude than the QW-1.
Description
The Qian Wei-2 (or Vanguard 2, in its export designation) is the third generation of man-portable missiles built by the Shenyang firm Hangtian Xinle Ltd. It is difficult to determine exactly when it was put into service, but it probably came into operation between 1998 and 2002. The QW-2 was first revealed in 1998 at the Farnborough Airshow. The missile and its launcher closely resemble those of the Russian 9K310 “Igla-1” system (NATO designation: SA-16 “Gimlet”), and the two systems are considered to be quite comparable in terms of performance and capabilities.
Variants
QW-2
The QW-2 is considered by many Chinese media as the Asian equivalent of the AmericanFIM-92E. It is a further development of the QW-1, the first series of Vanguard missiles.
Compared to the QW-1, the minimum operational altitude of the QW-2 was reduced from 30 m to 10 m, the maximum range was increased from 5000 m to 6000 m, and the missile reaction time was reduced to less than 5 seconds. It is also equipped with a new dual-band passive infrared seeker, providing good resistance to thermal decoys (flares) and parasitic heat sources from the terrain (sun, ground, etc.), while by making it possible to improve the missile's performance in bad weather conditions and at night. It subsequently appeared that an infrared imaging seeker had been substituted.
Additional data:
Maximum target speed: 400 m/s approaching, 320 m/s moving away.
Operating temperatures: −40 °C to +55 °C.
CQW-2
The prefix "C" here indicates that this is a version of the QW-2 that is mounted on a 4x4 vehicle (from Chinese "Che-Zai", "vehicle-mounted").
It is served by a crew of 3 men (driver, gunner and gunner) and the fire control is made up of an acquisition radar and optronic tracking equipment. Once the target is acquired on radar, guidance returns to the optronic system, which is responsible for tracking and engagement. The on-board system allows the use of missiles one by one or in pairs, and the vehicle has 8 missiles ready for firing in the turret supports. 8 other projectiles are in the hold.
The fire control is mounted in a ball, which includes a thermal camera and a laser rangefinder. Its radar is a variant of the NRIET AS-90, which operates in L-band and ranges to 20 km. The system reaction time is less than 8 seconds.
The CQW-2 missiles are fully interchangeable with the QW-2 portable launcher system. However, this operation cannot be carried out in the field.
QW-12
Uses a laser proximity detonator.

76503038 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin%20E.%20Wheatley | Melvin E. Wheatley | Melvin E. Wheatley (May 7, 1915 - March 1, 2009) was a bishop best known for appointing the first openly gay pastor in the United Methodist Church.
Biography
Wheatley was born in Lewisville, Pennsylvania, the son and grandson of Methodist ministers.
In 1972, Wheatley was appointed a bishop of the United Methodist Church. The same year, the Church took its first official stand against homosexuality. Wheatley, whose son John came out as gay in 1973, made it clear in the intervening years that he would not support such anti-LGBT policies. At the Church's 1980 General Conference he was the only bishop that refused to sign a statement condemning homosexuality.
In 1981, Julian Rush, an associate pastor at First United Methodist Church in Boulder, Colorado, was under fire when he came out as gay. Wheatley, who was the bishop of the Rocky Mountain Conference which includes the entire state of Colorado, hoped that a compromise could be reached that would allow Rush to stay at his post.
When an agreement could not be reached with First Methodist, in a controversial move, Wheatley assigned Rush to the St. Paul United Methodist Church in Denver, which had a significant number of openly gay congregants. This was the first time that a United Methodist bishop appointed an openly gay pastor. Prior to the appointment, Wheatley wrote a letter to all of the ministers in the Conference in support of Rush which included the following statement:
Death
Wheatley died March 1, 2009, in Mission Viejo, California, after a long illness.
“So many gay men and women who have been ministers in the church were in essence thrown under the bus. He kept that from happening to me,” Rush, who remained a minister in good standing, told The Los Angeles Times shortly after Wheatley's death. “He really pushed the bishops in the church to start reevaluating. There has been a huge upheaval since then, which has been very healthy.”

Biography
Williams was the son of Richard Williams. He was born at Dursley in Gloucestershire in 1771. He received his medical education at the Bristol Infirmary and at St. Thomas's and Guy's hospitals. He became a surgeon to the East Norfolk militia, and as such saw much home service. In 1795, when the regiment was encamped near Deal Castle, he was appointed the senior of a number of surgeons to whom was deputed the charge of several hundred Russian sailors suffering from malignant fever and dysentery. About 1797 he designed a tourniquet of such simplicity and efficiency that it was at once adopted by the authorities and named ‘Williams's Field Tourniquet’ by the army medical board in the printed directions for its use. It was ordered by the commander-in-chief, the Duke of York, that it should be employed in every regiment of the king's service, and that non-commissioned officers and musicians should be instructed in its use. In 1798 he entered himself at Caius College, Cambridge, and as a member of that house proceeded M.B. in 1803 and M.D. on 12 September 1811. Some years before this Williams had settled at Ipswich, and in 1810 was appointed by Sir Lucas Pepys, the physician-general of the army, to the charge of the South Military Hospital, close by Ipswich, then filled with soldiers just returned from Walcheren, and suffering with fever, ague, and dysentery. On the completion of his service there he received a flattering letter from the army medical board. He was admitted a candidate of the Royal College of Physicians on 30 September 1816, and a fellow on 30 September 1817. He was a fellow of the Linnean Society. He continued to reside at Ipswich, but he died at Sandgate in Kent, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health, on 8 November 1841.
Williams's principal works were:
‘Hints on the Ventilation of Army Hospitals and on Regimental Practice,’ 1798, 8vo.
‘A Concise Treatise on the Progress of Medicine since the year 1573,’ 1804, 8vo.
‘General Directions for the Recovery of Persons apparently dead from Drowning,’ 1808, 12mo.

Biography
Whitehead was born at Oldham in 1812. He was the son of John Whitehead, who had a wide reputation in the district as a herbalist and dealer in simples. James, after working as a boy in a cotton-mill, attended the Marsden Street school of medicine in Manchester, and was a pupil first of Mr. Clough of Lever Street, and afterwards of Mr. Lambert of Thirsk. He was admitted a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries of London on 11 September 1834, and on 15 December 1835 he became a member of the College of Surgeons. He was admitted a fellow of the College of Surgeons after examination on 14 August 1845. He graduated M.D. at the university of St. Andrews in 1850, and he became a member of the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1859.
Whitehead visited France and Germany in 1836, and on his return to England in 1838 he began to practise his profession in Oxford Street, Manchester. In 1842 he was appointed demonstrator of anatomy at the Marsden Street school of medicine, and in the same year he married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Hayward Radcliffe, who died on 20 Sept. 1844. In 1856 he founded, jointly with Dr. Schoepf Merei, the Clinical Hospital and Dispensary for Children, which became subsequently the Manchester Clinical Hospital for Women and Children. He was lecturer on obstetrics at the Royal School of Medicine, and for fifteen years he acted as surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital for Women and Children. In 1851 he moved into Mosley Street, where he conducted a large practice until 1881, when he retired to live on an estate he had purchased at Sutton in Surrey. He died, after a long illness, on 9 April 1885, and is buried in the Ardwick cemetery, Manchester.

76503217 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tshosa | Tshosa | Tshosa was a regent of the Kwena tribe from 1803 to 1807. He became regent following the death of his brother Maleke, who was also a regent, and he held the position until he passed it to the Kwena heir, his nephew Motswasele II. After Motswasele's death, Tshosa led a group of the fractured Kwena tribe. He was killed in an attack by the Bakololo.
Life
Tshosa was a son of the Kwena kgosi Seitlhamo, born in the third house, and he was the junior brother of Legwale and Maleke. When Legwale became kgosi, he initiated a raid against another tribe. Tshosa opposed the action, and he allegedly gave the tribe advance warning. Legwale was killed in the raid, and Maleke became regent.
Tshosa became regent in 1803, taking on the role after the death of Maleke. While he was regent of the Bakwena, Tshosa was responsible for defending the tribe from two raids by the Bangwaketse, first in Mantsho and then in Kgomphata. Toward the end of his tenure, Tshosa moved the Kwena tribe from Dithejane to Shokwane. Tshosa's regency ended in 1807 when he passed the role of chief to his nephew and the next in line, Motswasele II. Tshosa's son Moruakgomo disagreed with this decision, desiring the role for himself.
The Kwena tribe fractured after Motswasele's death, and Tshosa led one faction to Borithe, Molepolole, and then Dithubaruba. He successfully defended Molepolole from a raid by the Bangwaketse, who sought to avenge their previous defeats. Tshosa made peace with the Bangwaketse to defend against an invasion by Sebetwane and his Kololo tribe in 1824, but he then fled Dithubaruba and allowed the Bangwaketse to be defeated. From here, he travelled to Lehututu and Lake Ngami. After returning to the land of the Kwena, he reunited his faction with that of Motswasele's son, Sechele I, and they went to Diruthe. Once they settled in Diruthe, the Kwena came into conflict with the Ngwato tribe. The Bangwato aligned with the Bakololo, who then killed Tshosa and Moruakgomo in a raid. Tshosa's wife took their younger son Kgakge to live with the Bangwaketse.

76503259 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix%20Nelson | Felix Nelson | Felix Bradford Nelson (August 13, 1913 – February 17, 1998) was an American stage, film, radio and television actor, best known for his work in Gordon Parks' The Learning Tree and Ruth Woodman's "Land of the Free" (Death Valley Days' acclaimed Season 1 finale.) Nelson also appeared as Jim from Huckleberry Finn on both radio and television, and, alongside Sammy Davis Jr. and a mostly African American cast, in Aaron Spelling's groundbreaking 10th Cavalry-themed TV western, Mission.
Early life and career
A native of Franklin, Texas, the older of two sons born to John Nelson and Dove Biggers, Nelson ran away from home at the age of 13, joining the J. R. Roberton Circus as a dancer, performing the Charleston and Black Bottom. From 1937 through 1940 and again from 1945 through 1948, he appeared with the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts, portraying painter Elihu Vedder's "African Sentinel." In the interim, he served with the United States Army for 3½ years during World War II, in China, India, and Burma, and was awarded the Purple Heart in 1945.
In 1949, Nelson became the first African American graduate of CBS's radio drama school. The following year, he appeared as Jim—alongside Dean Stockwell's Huck and Jerry Farber's Tom—on NBC University Theater, in Ernest Kinoy's adaptation of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He also appeared that year on TV in Your Show Time's adaptation of Bret Harte's short story, "Colonel Starbottle for the Plaintiff," and onstage in a revival of the Broadway musical Carmen Jones, staged at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
Personal life and Death
On June 3, 1948, the California Eagle reported that Nelson was residing in Laurel Canyon with his "pretty blue eyed wife." As of 1950, however, his United States Census form lists him as single (albeit "room[ing]" with a female head of household), and a 1953 profile in the Los Angeles Sentinel refers to him as "a bachelor."
On February 17, 1998, Nelson died of undisclosed causes. His remains are interred at Riverside National Cemetery. His gravestone, while citing Nelson's service in World War II, makes no mention of surviving relatives.

76503305 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Vilvain | Robert Vilvain | Robert Vilvain (1575? – 1663) was an English physician and philanthropist.
Biography
Vilvain was born born in the parish of All Hallows, Goldsmith Street, Exeter, and baptised in its church on 17 March 1575–6, was the son of Peter Vilvain, steward of Exeter in 1579, who died on 25 September 1602, by his wife Ann, who died on 24 Sept. 1616. Robert received his early education at Exeter, and matriculated from Exeter College, Oxford, on 22 February 1593–4, aged 18. He graduated B.A. on 9 May 1597 and M.A. on 11 July 1600. On 30 June 1599 he was elected to a Devonian fellowship of his college, which he held until 30 June 1611.
Vilvain began to practise medicine about 1600, and on 20 June 1611 took the Oxford degrees of M.B. and M.D. He was incorporated at Cambridge in 1608, and with these further degrees was reincorporated in 1612. From this date he practised with great success in his native city, dwelling there for the rest of his days. In 1640 he was one of twelve doctors—five in theology, four in medicine, and three in law—living in Exeter. His epigram on them, the English translation, and a list of their names are printed in Richard Izacke's ‘History of Exeter’ (1723 edit. p. 156). With his charitable benefactions and decreasing strength there came a loss of income; the preface to his ‘Enchiridium Epigrammatum’ (1654) refers to his ‘ruined fortune.’ Between 17 April and 4 November 1662 there are frequent references in the state papers (Domestic Series) to the lease to him from 1647 by the dean and chapter of Exeter of the manor of Staverton, which he ‘deserves to forfeit for ill-carriage during the late distractions.’ He died on 21 February 1662–3, and was buried in the north aisle of the choir of Exeter Cathedral, where a stone marked his resting-place; a mural tablet to his memory was placed on the north side of the entrance to the lady-chapel, but was later in St. James's Chantry. His wife Ellenor, second daughter of Thomas Hinson of Tavistock, who married Anne, daughter of Sir William Spring of Pakenham, Suffolk, was buried at All Hallows, Exeter, on 7 December 1622. Their only child, Thomas, matriculated from Exeter College, Oxford, on 8 April 1636, aged 16, graduated B.C.L. on 7 March 1641–2, and died unmarried on 20 May 1651 (Boase, Exeter College Commoners, p. 338). Ten ‘epicedial distichs’ composed on his death are in the father's ‘Enchiridium Epigrammatum,’ leaf 185.
‘In his younger days Vilvain was esteemed a very good poet, orator, and disputant, and, in his elder, as eminent for divinity as his proper faculty,’ but in the prime of his life he neglected to produce anything, and his writings are ‘nothing but scraps, whimseys, and dotages of old age’ (Wood, Athenæ Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 631–3). These are:
‘A Compend of Chronography,’ 1654.
‘Enchiridium Epigrammatum Latino-Anglicum. An epitome of essais, Englished out of Latin. Six classes or centuries, beside a Fardel of 76 fragments,’ 1654.
‘Theoremata Theologica,’ 1654. All three bear the same imprint and date, but from manuscript notes on the copies at the British Museum it would seem that Nos. 1 and 3 came out on 28 Dec. 1656, and the other on 3 Sept. 1655. The ‘Theoremata’ was reissued with a new title-page in 1663. He also published:
‘A short survey of our Julian English year, with the definition, deviation, dimension, and manner of Reformation,’ in a single undated sheet (Wood, ib.)
Fuller, when at Exeter, was much gratified by some ‘uncommon manuscripts in Vilvain's library, with a museum of natural curiosities besides’ (Biogr. Brit. 1750, pp. 2056–7; cf. Fuller, History of Cambridge, p. 28).
Vilvain's benefactions to his native city and his college were numerous and costly. He gave 20l. towards the cost of the new buildings at Exeter College about 1624, and he founded at the college in 1637 four exhibitions of 32l. each per annum, to be paid through the rector and sub-rector. For the free school at St. John's Hospital, Exeter, he gave a tenement in Paris Street without the east-gate of Exeter, and he erected new buildings within the hospital at a cost of about 600l.
On Vilvain's motion the corporation of Exeter in December 1657 allowed the lady-chapel in the cathedral to be fitted up as a library, and the valuable collection of books then at St. John's Hospital, which had previously formed the cathedral library, to be moved thither. Vilvain defrayed the cost of the alterations in the lady-chapel, and the care of the library was entrusted to him. The books remained in this place until 1820.

Biography
Waldegrave was probably the second son of Philip Waldegrave of Borley in Essex (a cadet of the family of Waldegrave of Chewton), by his second wife, Margaret, daughter of John Eve of Easton in Essex, and, if so, was born in 1618. He received the degree of doctor of medicine of Padua on 12 March 1659, and was admitted an honorary fellow of the College of Physicians, London, in December 1664. He was created a fellow of the college, by the charter of James II, in 1686, but does not appear to have been admitted as such at the comitia majora extraordinaria of 12 April 1687, which was specially convened for the reception of the charter and the admission of those who were thereby constituted fellows.
On 1 July 1689 he was returned to the House of Lords by the college as a ‘papist.’ He was Physician to the queen of James II, and, as Bishop Burnet tells us, was hastily summoned, along with Sir Charles Scarburgh, to her majesty in 1688, shortly before the birth of the Prince of Wales (the ‘Old Pretender’), when she was in danger of miscarrying. In 1691 434l. 10s. was owing to him from the estate of Henry, first baron Waldegrave (Hist. MSS. Comm. 13th Rep. App. v. 446). He is there styled Sir William, but his name does not appear in Townsend's ‘Catalogue of Knights.’ He is believed to have died a bachelor.

Sprinchorn (1923–2022), an American Scandinavian literature scholar. It was published by Yale University Press in 2021 when Sprinchorn was 98. It is described as a biography and more specifically as a biographical reading of Ibsen's plays.
The book was criticized by Norwegian Ibsen scholars, in particular by Ellen Rees for perpetuating outdated and debunked myths about Ibsen. Helge Rønning argued that "in many ways it is more an inventive analysis of Ibsen’s works than a biography." Its approach of using Ibsen's plays as biographical sources has been criticized in recent Ibsen scholarship. The book was positively reviewed by American scholars.

Architect Tony Garnier designed it and sculptors Jean-Baptiste Larrivé (cenotaph), Louis Bertola (bas-reliefs of Le Départ and La Guerre), and Claude Grange (bas-reliefs of La Paix and La Victoire) also contributed to the work.
History
The city of Lyon launched a competition for a new war memorial in December 1920. The result of the first round was the selection of ten projects, five of which were proposals by Tony Garnier. His project "Athéna", a huge temple with a double colonnade on the hill of La Croix-Rousse, won the competition in the second round. However, this project was abandoned because it was too expensive. The winner was the "Philae" project, the result of a collaboration with Jean-Baptiste Larrivé.
The ensemble has been the subject of several redesigns: an initial group of six columns, each with a statue at the top, was replaced in 1922 by two fluted shafts rising from the water, which were also abandoned. Similarly, the project called for a perimeter wall with a frieze topped by colonnettes with a garland of plants, and stairs at the rear of the cenotaph - overly ambitious features that were never built.
Tony Garnier worked with sculptors Jean-Baptiste Larrivé for the cenotaph and Louis Bertola and Claude Grange for the bas-reliefs. The island itself was created and landscaped between 1924 and 1930.
Description
The inspiration for this project was Arnold Böcklin's painting Isle of the Dead. It is composed of a central piece, a cenotaph, which represents six bearers of a tombstone, wrapped in a shroud. It is a tribute to the 10,600 Lyonnais who died fighting for France in World War I. After Jean-Baptiste Larrivé died, his brother Auguste Larrivé finished the work.
Four bas-reliefs were created by Louis Bertola (Le Départ and La Guerre) and Claude Grange (La Paix and La Victoire). The monument was built from blocks of stone taken from the quarries of Cruchaud (Buxy) and Goulot (Montagny-lès-Buxy).
Conservation
Listed as a historical monument since November 4, 1982, the building is part of the Parc de la Tête-d'Or pak complex, which, in addition to the war memorial, includes:
The main gate with its columns (Porte des Enfants du Rhône, Place du Général-Leclerc).
The Montgolfier Gate (Avenue Verguin).
The Camellia and Pandanus greenhouses.
On March 10, 2003, the building was awarded the label "Heritage of the 20th Century". A plaque commemorating this label has been placed nearby since November 2004.
Renovation
In 2013, the monument was renovated and cleaned so that the 10,600 names inscribed on the cenotaph could be read (which was no longer possible). The island was closed for several years in a row, but after renovation, it was reopened to the public in early 2017.

Background
In September 1947, when Pakistan was admitted into United Nations, Afghanistan became the only country which voted against Pakistan’s membership of United Nations and in an open act of hostility against Pakistan, the flag of Pashtunistan was raised alongside the flag of Afghanistan in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Afghanistan initiated the arming and financing of proxies in the border regions of Waziristan and Khyber, namely Afridi Sarishtas and Ipi Faqir, under the banner of 'Liberation of Pashtunistan'. Consequently, numerous skirmishes erupted between Pakistani security forces and Afghan-backed proxies.
Aerial raid
In June 1949, a Pakistan Air Force warplane belonging to No. 14 Squadron PAF bombed a militant camp in the village of Mughalgai on the Afghan side of the Waziristan border while chasing the Pashtunistan separatist forces loyal to the Faqir of Ipi who attacked Pakistani military border posts from within Afghan territory,this airstrike killed 23 people and further fueled Afghan support for Pashtunistan.
Aftermath
A tribal council was held by Afghan government in the capital Kabul which declared all treaties related to Durand line as null and void and thus declared full support for Pashtunistan, this was accompanied by further financial and military aid to separatists including the establishment of an arms factory.
On 31 August, 'Pashtunistan Day' was designated, an occasion consistently observed by the Afghan government. Proxies supported by Afghanistan declared the establishment of 'Pashtunistan' in Tirah (Khyber) and Razmak (Waziristan), appointing Faqir of Ipi as President of the Pashtunistan national assembly.

He was the governor of German New Guinea from 1 April 1899 to 10 July 1901.
Biography
Bennigsen was a son of the Reichstag member Rudolf von Bennigsen. He was descended from an old Hanoverian family, which was named after its Bennigsen estate near Springe. He studied law at the Kaiser Wilhelm University in Strasbourg and in 1878 became a member of the Corps Suevia there. When there was a crisis in the mid-1880s, he became active again and fought as an assessor for the First Batch. For this, Suevia later awarded him honorary membership. The SC-Comradeship of the Corps was named after him in 1941.
Bennigsen was government assessor in the Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine, then district administrator of the Prussian district of Peine. In 1893 he became financial director in the colony of German East Africa, where he also acted as deputy to the local governor. In German East Africa, at Bennigsen's suggestion, the "hut tax" was introduced in 1897, the ruthless collection of which led to countless uprisings among the local population in the following years.
On 1 April 1899, Bennigsen was appointed the first governor of German New Guinea and the island area of the Carolines, Palau and the Marianas. In the same year he moved the seat of the colonial administration from Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen (today Madang) on Kaiser-Wilhelmsland to Herbertshöhe (today Kokopo) on the island of Neupommern (today New Britain). Bennigsen was mainly concerned with enforcing the German Empire's claim to colonial power through punitive expeditions – he himself spoke of "bringing order to the neglected conditions in the colony of German New Guinea". In June 1900, Robert Koch was a guest of Bennigsen in Herbertshöhe during his New Guinea expedition to research malaria. Whether for political or health reasons remains unclear, but on 10 July 1901, Bennigsen ended his service in German New Guinea by handing over the governorship to Albert Hahl.
In 1902 Bennigsen became a board member of the . From 1904 to 1909 he was a representative of in Berlin, from 1909 to 1912 director of the German Colonial Society for South West Africa, on whose behalf he made trips to German South West Africa in 1903 and 1910.

It is located within Las Palmas Air Base.
History
It was created in 1942, being the first aerial photography project in the country: Lima 100, equipped with the most advanced technology of the time, and throughout its history it has maintained that advantage. His first airplane was a Grumman vehicle and its first camera was a Fairchild. The service was absorbed by the Peruvian Air Force and took on various names, including that of "General Directorate of Aerial Photography" ().
The National Aerophotographic Service took the aerial photographs to prepare the basic cartography of the scale of 1 to 100,000. The charter was financed by the Defense Mapping Agency of the United States, who financed them and also the to prepare the country's National Charter.
It is presently focused on military operations with a priority of work against internal threats: illegal mining, terrorism in the VRAEM, illicit drug trafficking and risk management.

The musical is based on the novel A Death in the Family written by James Agee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction upon its release in 1957.
The title comes from the setting of the story in Knoxville, Tennessee, where original author Agee was from. The show is set in 1915.
Production history
The show was announced on February 6, 2019, with a concert reading held in New York City featuring Claybourne Elder. The musical was originally scheduled to premiere in the spring of 2020 at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida, however these plans were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was conceived by Galati who enlisted the music team of Ahrens and Flaherty to help construct the show. Rescheduling the show took nearly two years until 2022 when it was announced to be part of Asolo's 2022–2023 season. The world premiere was held from April 23 through May 11, 2022. The show was choreographed by Josh Rhodes.
Galati died on January 2, 2023, months after the world premiere of the project.

76503667 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnthorpe%20Model | Milnthorpe Model | The Milnthorpe Model describes a situation where fast-growing non-indigenous trees such as eucalypts, are used to colonise ex-pasture in order to establish a forested environment where indigenous canopy species can thrive.
The expression was coined in 2010 during a nationwide MAF (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry) roadshow on carbon forestry and derives from a property near Parapara Inlet in Golden Bay, New Zealand. This marginal land was progressively planted from 1973 to create what is now a scenic reserve and an arboretum. It has an abundance of understorey species, predominantly natives, and is a popular location for recreational walks.
Importance of the Milnthorpe Model
Recent years have been particularly tough for sheep and beef farmers in New Zealand. A report from Beef + Lamb New Zealand in 2023 forecast farm profitability to fall by 31% for the 2023–24 year, following a decline of 32% in 2022. [Ref Beef and Lamb website] This means profits for farmers have more than halved in two years. For example, it is now common for sheep farmers to spend more money on shearing their sheep than the return from their wool-clip.
There are several motives for seeking to afforest marginal farmland. First, it is often profitable to do so. The returns from wood can exceed the returns from livestock. In addition, there are payments from the sale of carbon offsetting. Lastly, there can be environmental benefits compared to pastoral farmland, in terms of reduced soil erosion, water quality, and buffering of flood peaks.
Benefit of eucalyptus trees
Carbon sequestration is about the conversion of a low-carbon ground cover such as pasture of short scrub to a forest with more biomass, and therefore carbon. Eucalypts, in particular, can create a huge volume of wood and in a short time, although this will depend on the exact species of eucalyptus and the growing conditions of the site.
Importance of native trees
There is a widespread backlash, particularly from the farming community, against large conversions of farmland to forestry. In New Zealand, pine trees receive the most opprobrium, but in several other countries the target is eucalyptus plantations. Natives, on the other hand, have a favourable image everywhere. In New Zealand, this is accentuated because indigenous forest occupied nearly all suitable land in the fairly recent past, and because New Zealanders have a great love for their own flora, much of which is endemic.
Desirability of fast-growing introduced species
It is desirable to plant eucalypts or other fast growing introduced species in New Zealand, in order to create a native forest. It is prohibitively expensive, in most cases, to directly plant natives (particularly with some of the preferred canopy species, such as podocarps). These expensive seedlings do not readily tolerate competition from grass or introduced woody weeds, and have a high mortality rate. The natural succession of native forest growth from a cleared area, such as a slip, would involve several stages, taking several hundred years altogether to reach their climax cover. On the other hand, planting eucalypts is relatively cheap, and the grass and other problematic weeds are soon shaded out. Seeds of a range of native species are brought in by birds and grow readily on the forest floor. It is thus usually quicker and cheaper to use non-indigenous trees as a nurse crop rather than directly establishing natives.
Lessons from Milnthorpe Arboretum for native establishment
There is a pleasant mix of native understory species in the at Milnthorpe, such as tree ferns, māhoe (whiteywood) and coprosma. Occasionally, there are examples of self-sown kahikatea or tōtara, but most other canopy species such as rimu needed to be planted by humans. In the light shade that eucalypts provide, and in the weed-free forest floor, their rate of survival and growth is excellent.
Nationwide applicability
In Milnthorpe, prior to planting there were large areas of gorse, blackberry (on better soils), prickly hakea, post-fire kanuka, and a few five finger. In the wetland areas, there were masses of stunted mānuka.
Milnthorpe Arboretum lies at sea-level in a warm, wet, fairly wind-free microclimate. Examples of similar plantings from other regions and microclimates must be examined before a useful generalisation could be made. A study of three such situations – including Milnthorpe – was undertaken by Forbes in 2021.

Description
In field, Minervarya gomantaki does not have any morphologically similar congeneric sympatric species, and it can be identified on the basis of its small size, presence of white horizontal band on the upper lip and the presence of rictal glands.
Distribution
Minervarya gomantaki is restricted in distribution to low and medium elevati ons with a small range around the Goa region in the northern Western Ghats. It is geographically disjunct from its sister species, Minervarya syhadrensis.
The species is known from Virdi (Maharashtra), Chigule (Karnataka), Chorla Ghat, Bondla, Surla, Keri, Honda and Vagheri (Goa) in the Western Ghats.
Habitat and ecology
An amplected pair laid 45 eggs under captive conditions in the month of July 2014. This species was observed calling in stagnant mud pools, artificial ponds and from grasses or herbs, mostly in the monsoon during the late evening.

The species is found distributed in marine waters north of Australia, occurring near and in areas such as the Coral Sea, Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia. Habitats include waters 19 to 200 meters below sea level in neritic zones. Individuals reach lengths of 22 to 26 centimeters, with body colorations of light to dark blue with red feet and tentacles colored violet, blue, and red with white tips. The species feeds through filter feeding, catching organic matter such as algae, phytoplankton, and detritus with its tentacles. It is occasionally kept in saltwater tanks in the aquarium hobby, however is recommended to only be cared by those with expertise in the hobby due to a risk of it secreting toxins if stressed, such as with some fish species that are prone to pick at the tentacles of sea cucumbers.

Report
Background
Dover Motor Speedway is an oval race track in Dover, Delaware, United States that has held at least two NASCAR races since it opened in 1969. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosted USAC and the NTT IndyCar Series. The track features one layout, a concrete oval, with 24° banking in the turns and 9° banking on the straights. The speedway is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.
The track, nicknamed "The Monster Mile", was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995. Six years later in 2001, the track's capacity moved to 135,000 seats, making the track have the largest capacity of sports venue in the mid-Atlantic. In 2002, the name changed to Dover International Speedway from Dover Downs International Speedway after Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment split, making Dover Motorsports. From 2007 to 2009, the speedway worked on an improvement project called "The Monster Makeover", which expanded facilities at the track and beautified the track. After the 2014 season, the track's capacity was reduced to 95,500 seats.

Biography
State Councilor
From 2005 to 2017 Zasseeva served as State Councilor for Eduard Kokoity, Vadim Brovtsev, and Leonid Tibilov. During the latter of which, in 2013, praised a state-run poll which claimed mass support for the newly implemented holiday "Day of Russia" stating that "I cannot imagine my life without Russia." By 2016 she was the State Adviser to the President, as well as a member of the commission for drafting the Constitution of South Ossetia. In which capacity she stated that the new Constitution must prioritze basic rule of law, and the independence of the South Ossetian judiciary, to work on a purely meritocratic system. She also claimed that her primary inspiration was the Constitution of North Ossetia, and that her proposal was well received by unnamed Russian officials.
Minister of culture
Zasseeva served as the minister of culture for Anatoly Bibilov, President from 2017 to 2022. In that capacity claimed that the 1918-1920 Georgian–Ossetian conflict was a genocide and organized a nationwide memorial for the 100th anniversary in 2019 alongside Amiran Dyakonov. In 2019 she also announced the creation of a national day of mourning for the Zar tragedy when the Georgian army shelled a convoy of trucks, which South Ossetia claimed was a refugee column, killing 33 civilians.
As Minister of Culture, Zasseeva supported an effort to integrate with the Conservatorio Statale di Musica "Gioachino Rossini" in conjunction with Dmitriy Medoev, minister of foreign affairs, and Gennadiy Kokoev, the minister of the economy. The South Ossetian government touted the effort, as cooperation with Italy, to increase support for South Ossetian recognition in Europe. Additionally, Zasseeva went on a state visit to Abkhazia alongside Medoev, Oleg Botsiev, the South Osstian ambassador to Abkhazia, Uruzmag Dzhagaev, the South Ossetian prosecutor general, and Viktor Shargaev, head of the State Security Committee to promote bilateral relations, and a joint effort for international recognition.
In the wake of the Murder of Inal Djabiev, Zasseeva, along with South Ossetia's Ombudsman, Inal Tasoev, were among a delegation sent to Djabiev's house, following massive public backlash, promising a fair investigation into his death, however, Djabiev's widow rebuked them, stating "We distrust both MPs and investigators." One of Zasseeva's last acts as minister was to unveil a memorial to the Ered tragedy, where South Ossetia accuses Georgia of burying 12 Ossetians alive.
Women's league
Following her departure from politics, Zasseeva has founded and leads an NGO, the "Women's league," which, as it's chairwoman, endorsed an effort to change South Ossetian history curriculum to center around the "Alan Code of Honor", focusing on Ossetians loyal to Russia since 1749. She also promoted the expansion of Immortal Regiments in South Ossetia.

Founded on 22 June 2019, they play in , holding home games at Camp de Futbol Municipal Ramón Farrús, with a capacity of 1,200 people.
History
Founded on 25 September 1926 as Club Deportivo Almacellench, the club were later renamed to Club de Fútbol Almacelles and later Athlètic Almacelles in 1968 (Athletic would later be refounded in 2014). In 1986, they changed name to Club Esportiu Escola de Futbol Almacelles i Comarca.
After being only an amateur team, EFAC Almacelles started playing in a senior competition in 1988, winning promotion from the Tercera Regional. They first reached the top tier of regional football, the Primera Catalana, in 2011.
After playing the following years between Primera and Segona Catalana, EFAC reached an agreement with Club Esportiu Atlètic Lleida (a club founded on 22 June 2019) in late June 2019, with the latter taking over their place in the fifth tier from the 2020–21 season onwards. The name of "Esportiu Atlètic Lleida" was contested by the president of Lleida Esportiu at the time, Albert Esteve, by considering that the new brand could "generate confusion".
In March 2024, Diari Segre reported that Atlètic Lleida were under negotiations with CF Badalona Futur to acquire their place in either the Segunda Federación or Primera Federación, with their president Josep María Oromí stating that the negotiations were in an "advanced" stage.

The election was held on a nonpartisan basis.
Incumbent Commissioner Brad Avakian did not seek reelection. Val Hoyle was elected to succeed him. Because Hoyle won a majority in the May primary election, a November runoff did not occur.
Primary election
The nonpartisan primary election was held alongside partisan primary elections for other offices on May 15, 2018. Since the Commissioner of Labor is a nonpartisan role, a general election is only held if no one in the primary election secures 50% of the vote. Hoyle avoided a runoff vote and was elected to the role by winning 52.28% of the vote in the primary election.
Candidates
Jack Howard, Union County Commissioner
Val Hoyle, former Majority Leader of the Oregon House of Representatives
Lou Ogden, Mayor of Tualatin
While the position of Labor Commissioner is nonpartisan, Ogden is known to be a Republican, while Howard and Hoyle are Democrats.

76503849 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our%20Year | Our Year | Our Year is a 2014 studio album by American country musicians Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis, released on Robison's Premium Records label. The work was the third of four recordings released by the couple and received positive reviews from critics and commercial success on two Billboard charts.
Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Thom Jurek writing "this collection of originals and covers goes right to the heart of what made [previous album] Cheater's Game special: the pairing of these voices in a decidedly Texas take on traditional country music" and exhorted readers "get this one". In American Songwriter, Jim Beviglia gave this album 3 out of 5 stars for the musicians "once again trading lead vocals and harmonizing behind tasteful Americana-type musical backing, finding nooks and crannies in the well-chosen songs that might otherwise have stayed hidden in solo readings" and continued that the finest parts of the music "are when the voices come together and it feels like they’re sharing the experiences in the songs". Doug Freeman of The Austin Chronicle rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that this release finds the musicians "recapturing the magic" with "both playful [songs] and emotional, ripe ballads". Writing for Exclaim!, Stuart Henderson rated Our Year a 7 out of 10, stating that the emphasis on covers ends up "lending it a decidedly offhand feel", but also praising Robison's originals and opining that "the songs Willis and Robison have chosen to play here are all absorbing, and their close-harmony approach serves the material beautifully".
Two assessments were published in No Depression: Hyperbolium wrote that "their strengths as singers and songwriters peek through at every turn, but it’s the way their emotional conversation amplifies one another that sets this apart from their solo work" and Folk Villager opined that "they’re creating remarkable sounding albums bursting at the seams with impressive songs". Charles Pitter of PopMatters gave this release a 9 out of 10, summing up "with an album like this, Bruce and Kelly would have to suffer a strong dose of bad luck for this not to be their year, but if you’re proclaiming your own destiny, who needs stupid old luck anyway?. In USA Today, Brian Mansfield called Our Year "great songs, well sung and well played", where each instrument "gets a moment to shine, but it always supports the song, never obscuring the lyrics or the voices singing them".

76503869 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel%20Guibert | Emmanuel Guibert | Emmanuel Guibert (born April 21, 1964, in Paris) is a French comics artist and writer. For his work, he has been awarded the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême.
Biography
After a short period in art school, Guibert found work as an illustrator and storyboarder. He began Brune, an album retracing the rise of Nazism in Germany in the 1930s. Brune was published in 1992, after seven years of work.
In 1999, he began the series Ariol, written by Marc Boutavant, which originated in the children's magazine J'aime lire. Ariol has been collected into seventeen volumes, eleven of which have been translated into English by Papercutz. A French-Canadian series of animated shorts of the same title were also produced.
Guibert became associated with the magazine Lapin and L'Association (alongside Frédéric Boilet, Émile Bravo, Fabrice Tarrin, Christophe Blain, and Joann Sfar), which marked an evolution of his work to the service of real-life stories.
The first example was La Guerre d'Alan ("Alan's War"), which was serialized in Lapin in 2000; it recounts the memories of Alan Ingram Cope, an American soldier from World War II living in France. This was followed by Le Photographe ("The Photographer"), the story of Didier Lefèvre, a French photojournalist who accompanied a Médecins Sans Frontières mission during the height of the Soviet–Afghan War in 1986. The Photographer sold 250,000 copies in France and won the Essentials of Angoulême award in 2007. It has been translated from the original French into 11 languages; the American edition won the Eisner Award for Best U.S. Edition of International Material in 2010.
During this same period, he created several series, including Sardine de l'espace, Les Olives noirs, and La Fille du professeur ("The Professor's Daughter") (with Joann Sfar).
In 2013,Guibert was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in recognition of his significant contributions to the arts.
In January 2018, the Angoulême International Comics Festival dedicated an exhibition to Guibert's work.
After being a finalist for the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême in 2019, he was finally elected by the authors during the festival the following year. The Grand Prix is considered the most prestigious award in Franco-Belgian comics.
In 2020, he became the first comic book author to whom the Académie des Beaux-Arts dedicated an exhibition.
In January 2023, Gubert was elected member of the engraving and drawing section of the Academy of Fine Arts. He occupies the chair of Pierre-Yves Trémois, who died in 2020.

76503909 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander%20the%20Great%20in%20Arabic%20tradition | Alexander the Great in Arabic tradition | Alexander the Great was the king of the Kingdom of Macedon and the founder of an empire that stretched from Greece to northwestern India. Legends surrounding his life quickly sprung up soon after his own death. His predecessors represented him in their coinage as the son of Zeus Ammon, wearing what would become the Horns of Alexander as originally signified by the Horns of Ammon. Legends of Alexander's exploits coalesced into the third-century Alexander Romance which, in the premodern period, went through over one hundred recensions, translations, and derivations and was translated into almost every European vernacular and every language of the Islamic world. After the Bible, it was the most popular form of European literature. It was also translated into every language from the Islamicized regions of Asia and Africa, from Mali to Malaysia.
The first appearance of Alexander traditions in Arabic literature occurs in the first extant Arabic book, the Quran, in its description of Dhu al-Qarnayn. Alexander was widely believed to be Dhu al-Qarnayn, and this identification is found in some of the earliest texts which discuss this, like the biography of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq and the commentary on the Quran by Muqatil ibn Sulayman. Likewise, Alexandrian texts feature among the earliest known texts translated from other languages into Arabic, such as the Rasāʾil Arisṭāṭālīsa ilāʾl-Iskandar (The Letters of Aristotle to Alexander or the Epistolary Romance), comprised of a set of apocryphal letters meant to confirm Alexander's reputation as a wise ruler produced during the reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (r. 724–743) from sources originally in Greek. Versions of the Alexander Romance were repeatedly translated into Arabic from Syriac, Latin, and Hebrew throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, the most popular being the Sirat al-Iskandar.
Quran
Dhu al-Qarnayn
Alexander was often identified with Dhu al-Qarnayn (Arabic: ذو القرنين; lit. "The Two-Horned One"), a figure that appears in the Quran. This identification would play a role in enhancing the popularity of the Arabic Alexander tradition, which often made Alexander synonymous with his attributed Two-Horned title.
Other
Earlier in Surah al-Kahf, a pericope in the Quran presents Moses in search for the Fountain of Life (18:60–64). This pericope resembles earlier legends where Alexander the Great searches for the Fountain of Life in texts such as the Alexander Romance (in its Greek α recension from the third century), the Babylonian Talmud, and the Song of Alexander. Some studies have looked into why the protagonist was shifted from Alexander to Moses in the version as the narrative appears in the Quran.
Recently, Zishan Ghaffar has also argued for the role played by Alexander legends in shaping the narrative that appears in 27:15–44.
Genres
Classification
Doufikar-Aerts has divided the Arabic Alexander literature into four categories or genres of literature. The first is the literature in the tradition of Pseudo-Callisthenes, or the 'Pseudo-Callisthenes tradition' or the Arabic Alexander Romance tradition, which focused on the biographical elements of Alexander's career. The second is the 'Alexander and Wisdom literature' tradition. The third is the Dhu al-Qarnayn tradition, related to texts from the Qisas al-Anbiya (Tales of the Prophets) literature. This tradition was rooted in the Quranic figure of Dhu al-Qarnayn. The fourth is the Sirāt al-Iskandar tradition, which follows in the tradition of a popular romance known as the Sīrat al-Iskandar.
Wisdom literature
The Alexander Romance also had an important influence on Arabic wisdom literature. Arabic was introduced as the court language of the caliphate during the Umayyad Caliphate around the year 700. One of the first texts translated into Arabic was the Rasāʾil Arisṭāṭālīsa ilāʾl-Iskandar (The Letters of Aristotle to Alexander or the Epistolary Romance), which consists of a set of apocryphal letters meant to confirm Alexander's reputation as a wise ruler. It was composed during the reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (r. 724–743) from Greek sources like the Epistola Alexandri ad Aristotelem.
Part of this text became a constituent of the Kitāb Sirr al-Asrār (Book of Secret of Secrets) by Yahya ibn al-Batriq (d. 815), a Pseudo-Aristoteliean treatise which became immensely popular and was translated directly from the Arabic into many other (including European) languages. Both Alexander and Aristotle became important figures in Islamic wisdom literature, such as in the chapter dedicated to Alexander in the 9th-century Ādāb al-Falāsifa (Sayings of the Philosophers) written in the name of the famous Christian translator and physician Hunayn ibn Ishaq. Other texts in this tradition from the tenth century onward included Ṣiwān al-Ḥikma (Chest of Wisdom) of Abu Sulayman Sijistani, the Al-Ḥikma al-Khālida (Everlasting Wisdom) of Miskawayh, and the Al-Kalim al-Rūḥānīya fīʾl-Ḥikam al-Yūnānīya (Spiritual Sayings about Greek Maxims) of Ibn Hindu.
Notably, the Abbasid caliph Al-Mu'tasim (794–842 AD) had ordered the translation of the Thesaurus Alexandri, a work on elixirs and amulets, from Greek and Latin into Arabic. The Greek work Thesaurus Alexandri was attributed to Hermes (the great messenger of the gods in Greek mythology) and similarly contained supposed letters from Aristotle addressed to Alexander.
In Secretum Secretorum ("Secret of Secrets", in Arabic Kitab sirr al-asrar), an encyclopedic Arabic treatise on a wide range of topics such as statecraft, ethics, physiognomy, alchemy, astrology, magic and medicine, Alexander appears as a speaker and subject of wise sayings and as a correspondent with figures such as Aristotle. The origins of the treatise are uncertain. No Greek original exists, though there are claims in the Arabic treatise that it was translated from the Greek into Syriac and from Syriac into Arabic by a well-known 9th century translator, Yahya ibn al-Bitriq (?–815 AD). It appears, however, that the treatise was actually composed originally in Arabic.
Another piece of Arabic Alexander literature is the Laments (or Sayings) of the Philosophers. These are a collection of remarks supposedly made by some philosophers gathered at the tomb of Alexander after his death. This legend was originally written in the 6th century in Syriac and was later translated into Arabic and expanded upon. The Laments of the Philosophers eventually gained enormous popularity in Europe.
Romance literature
The Syriac Alexander Romance, alongside some apocalyptic traditions it incorporated from the shorter Syriac Alexander Legend, would become the main source for Arabic Alexander Romance tradition and for Arabic-language historians who wanted to discuss the role of Alexander in pre-Islamic history. One such history was the Kitāb al-Akhbār al-Ṭiwal (Book of Comprehensive History) of Abu Hanifa Dinawari (d. 896), itself based on an older version in Pseudo-Aṣma‛ī's Nihāyat al-Arab (Ultimate Aim), includes a short history of the kingdom of Alexander in this tradition. Other examples include the Tārīkh (Historiae) of al-Yaʿqūbī (d. 897), the al-Rusul waʾl-Mulūk (History of the Prophets and Kings, or simply Annales) of al-Tabbari (d. 923), the Murūj al-Dhahab (Meadows of Gold) of al-Masudi (d. 956), and the Naẓm al-Jawhar (String of Pearls) of Eutychius of Alexandria.
The earliest full-length Arabic Alexander Romance was the Qissat al-Iskandar of ʿUmara ibn Zayd, composed in the late 8th or early 9th century. In the tale, Alexander the Great travels a great deal, builds the Wall against Gog and Magog, searches for the Water of Life (Fountain of Youth), and encounters angels who give him a "wonder-stone" that both weighs more than any other stone but is also as light as dust. This wonder-stone is meant to admonish Alexander for his ambitions and indicate that his lust for conquest and eternal life will not end until his death. The story of the wonder-stone is not found in the Syriac Christian legend, but is found in Jewish Talmudic traditions about Alexander as well as in Persian traditions.
The other prominent Arbaic versions would be the Qissat Dhulqarnayn (9th century), a second Qissat Dhulqarnayn in the Ara'is al-majalis fi Qisas al-anbiya (Book of Prophets) of al-Tha'labi (11th century), the Hadith Dhulqarnayn (15th century), the Sīrat al-Iskandar (15th century), the Sirat al-malek Eskandar Dhu’ l-Qarneyn, and the Tārīkh al-Iskandar al-Makdūni (History of Alexander of Macedon) (17th century).
Tales of the prophets
One figure transmitting Alexander legends in the tradition of the qiṣaṣ genre was Wahb ibn Munabbih, although this is according to an attribution later made by Ibn Hisham. According to Ibn Hisham, Dhu al-Qarnayn should be identified with a South Arabian king named Sa'b Dhu Marathid as opposed to Alexander, although Sa'b is a mythical figure whose biography is derivative from Alexander's in the tradition of Pseudo-Callisthenes. That Ibn Hisham's traditions go back to Wahb as he stated is doubtful. The Arabic story still describes the story of Alexander's Wall against Gog and Magog and his quest for the Water of Life. The story also mentions that Dhu al-Qarnayn visited a castle with glass walls and visited the Brahmins of India. The South Arabian legend was composed within the context of the division between the South Arabs and North Arabs that began with the Battle of Marj Rahit in 684 AD and consolidated over two centuries.
Another transmitter who Alexander traditions are attributed to was Ka'b al-Ahbar.
Sirat al-Iskandar
The Sīrat al-Iskandar (Life of Alexander) is a 13th-century popular Arabic-language romance about Alexander the Great. It belongs to the sīra shaʿbiyya genre. In the Sīrat, Alexander is a son of Dārāb, a prince of the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia, and Nāhīd, daughter of King Philip II of Macedon. He is born in secret at Philip's court and is raised by Aristotle. He eventually succeeds Philip as king, while his half-brother Dārā succeeds to the Persian throne. They go to war and Alexander is victorious, with Dārā dying in his arms. After returning to Macedon, Alexander comes under the influence of the devil, Iblīs, until he is brought back to the right path by al-Khiḍr, who convinces him he has a divine mission: to convert the whole world to monotheism. The two travel first to the West and then to the East, converting people everywhere they go. Alexander then constructs the famous wall confining Gog and Magog before setting out for the Land of Darkness to find the Water of Life. He is prevented from reaching the water by the Isrāfīl (angels), who instead give him the wonderstone. Shortly after, Alexander writes a letter of consolation to his mother and dies. He is buried in Alexandria.
Representations
Arabic literature produced stories about heroes, saints, poets, and men of wisdom. Biographies, romances, poems, and so forth celebrated literary protagonists, among them one of the most popular being Alexander the Great. While portraits and representations of Alexander in the Arab and Islamic tradition has continuity with earlier representations, it also developed its own nuances.
One representation was of Alexander as a strategist, especially in light of his vast conquests from such a small territory, including the subjugation of many lands that the Umayyads reconquered later. A group of apocryphal letters translated during the reign of the caliph Hisham between Alexander and Aristotle (Alexander's tutor) describes how Alexander was advised by Aristotle as to how he should go about his campaigns. These include recommendations in good government, rulership, fair treatment to subdued nations, and more. Though Alexander never pursued Arabia, the letters describe the Arabians as one of his subjects. One piece of advice was that Alexander should allow troops nightly drinking parties (a pre-Islamic recommendation which was not conformed into Islamic ethics in the text). These texts went on to have an enormous impact on Arabic-related Alexander traditions.
Another was that of the sage. This is especially visible in wisdom literature, which included wise sayings, maxims, anthologies of anecdotes, and ascriptions of exemplary conduct on great figures from the past. Such stories are rooted in Hellenistic sources and often remained closer to their originals during translation. The Greek historian Plutarch wrote in his "On the Fortune or Virtue of Alexander the Great" argued that Alexander would qualify as a true philosopher by the same criteria used to judge others like Pythagoras and Socrates: by judging him based on his manner of life and the principles he taught. Maxims emphasizing the greater nature of what Alexander gained from Aristotle, in knowledge, over what he gained from his father Philip, in weaponry, was repeated by the Arabic compiler Mubashshir ibn Fatik; Mubashshir recorded a maxim where when Alexander asked if he valued his teacher or father more, he answered "My father is the cause of my life, but my teacher is the cause of the quality of my life". Representations of Alexander as a philosopher king were widespread. Another text where they can also be found in Hunayn ibn Ishaq's Anecdotes of Philosophers and Sages.
Alexander as a pioneer was another popular portrait. In the Arabic Epistola Alexandri, Alexander describes his personal observations during his journeys. He constructs temples for prayer and was seen as a proto-monotheist foreshadowing the coming of Christianity and Islam. His exploits were depicted as deeds of cleverness and boldness, and the result of divine providence. He sent many letters to the rulers of foreign nations in order to compel them into monotheism.
Geography and cartography
One of the most famous elements of Alexander's biography was his concealment of Gog and Magog behind a barrier which they remain imprisoned by until the end of the world. Such ideas caught the attention of geographers, who were interested in finding these barriers or representing them in the maps they produced. Like in medieval Christendom, medieval world maps, also known as mappa mundi, were produced which depicted Gog and Magog in the far corners of the Earth. One tenth-century Arab geographer and chronicler, Ibn Hawqal, produced maps based off of his own travels and inspired by earlier ones by Ptolemy. His map was part of his geographical work, the Ṣūrat al-ʾArḍ ("Image of the Earth"), a manuscript for which exists dating to 1086. The "regions of Gog and Magog" in this map is situated in the northwestern part of the world. Muhammad al-Idrisi was an Arab geographer who, in 1154, was commissioned by the Norman king Roger II of Sicily into producing a work that came to be known in Western languages as the Tabula Rogeriana (or the "The Excursion of One Eager to Penetrate the Distant Horizons" in Arabic). In this map, a considerable part of the world is in the northernmost section and is inhabited by Gog and Magog. One copy of this map known as the Charta Rogeriana depicts Gog and Magog as being enclosed by a mountain range called the jabal Qūfāia and has an Arabic caption in a Latinized script which reads sadd ḏī ’l karnajin, al musamma bi al rad[ ] (radm?), "The Barrier of Dhū ’l-Qarnayn, called the Rampart". The words sadd and radm were taken from the Quran, 18:94, 95. This practice was followed into Iranian maps, such as the fifteenth-century Mojmal al-Tawārīkh wa ’l-Qeṣaṣ.
Several expeditions in the Muslim world were undertaken to try to find and study Alexander's wall, specifically the Caspian Gates of Derbent. An early expedition to Derbent was ordered by the Caliph Umar (d. 644) himself, during the Arab conquest of Armenia where they heard about Alexander's Wall in Derbent from the conquered Christian Armenians, according to the exegetes Al-Tabarani (873–970 AD) and Ibn Kathir (1301–1373 AD), and by the Muslim geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi (1179–1229 AD):... Umar sent ... in 22 A.H. [643 AD] ... an expedition to Derbent [Russia] ... `Abdur Rahman bin Rabi`ah [was appointed] as the chief of his vanguard. When 'Abdur Rehman entered Armenia, the ruler Shehrbaz surrendered without fighting. Then when `Abdur Rehman wanted to advance towards Derbent, Shehrbaz [ruler of Armenia] informed him that he had already gathered full information about the wall built by Dhul-Qarnain, through a man, who could supply all the necessary details ...Two hundred years later, the Abbasid Caliph Al-Wathiq (d. 847) dispatched an expedition to study the wall of Dhu al-Qarnayn in Derbent, Russia. The expedition was led by Sallam-ul-Tarjuman, whose observations were recorded by Yaqut al-Hamawi and by Ibn Kathir:...this expedition reached ... the Caspian territory. From there they arrived at Derbent and saw the wall [of Dhul-Qarnayn].The Muslim geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi further confirmed the same view in a number of places in his book on geography; for instance under the heading "Khazar" (Caspian) he writes:This territory adjoins the Wall of Dhul-Qarnain just behind Bab-ul-Abwab, which is also called Derbent.The Caliph Harun al-Rashid (763 – 809 AD) even spent some time living in Derbent. Not all Muslim travellers and scholars, however, associated Dhul-Qarnayn's wall with the Caspian Gates of Derbent. For example, the Muslim explorer Ibn Battuta (1304–1369 AD) travelled to China on order of the Sultan of Delhi, Muhammad bin Tughluq and he comments in his travel log that "Between it [the city of Zaitun in Fujian] and the rampart of Yajuj and Majuj [Gog and Magog] is sixty days' travel." The translator of the travel log notes that Ibn Battuta confused the Great Wall of China with that supposedly built by Dhul-Qarnayn.
Translations
An Arabic translation of Pseudo-Callisthenes is evidenced by the Akhbār Al-Iskandar, a brief biography. This text in turn is known from the Mukhtār al-Ḥikam wa-Maḥāsin al-Kalim ('Selection of Proverbs and an Anthology of Sayings') by Mubashshir ibn Fātik. In Europe, this text was known as the Bocados de Oro. The question of the source language for the major Arabic version of Pseudo-Callisthenes, however, has been contentious. According to Theodor Nöldeke in the late 19th century, the lost δ recension of the Greek Romance was translated into Middle Persian (Pahlavi). The Pahlavi version, also lost, was translated into Syriac as the Syriac Alexander Romance and it was the Syriac version that was the ultimate source of the Arabic sometime before the 9th century. More recently, this theory has been questioned and others have suggested that a translation could have been made directly from the Greek.
In Latin, a version of the Alexander Romance known as the Historia de preliis was produced as a recension of the earlier tenth-century Nativitas et victoria Alexandri Magni regis produced by Leo the Archpriest. The Hebrew translation of this text is thought to have been produced not directly from the Latin, but from a now-lost Arabic intermediary translation that must have been produced prior to 1061.
The Tārīkh al-Iskandar al-Makdūni (History of Alexander of Macedon), translated into Arabic by the Melkite bishop Yuwāsif ibn Suwaydān (c. 1669) from the Byzantine ζ-recension of Pseudo-Callisthenes. It is fairly late and so had little influence on the Arabic Alexander tradition.
History of scholarship
The study of the Arabic tradition of the Alexander Romance was founded by Theodor Nöldeke with his publication Beiträge zur geschichte des Alexanderromans in 1890. In 1901, Karl Friederich Weymann published a study on translations of the Romance into Arabic and Ethiopic, titled Die aethiopische und arabische Übersetzung des Pseudocallisthenes. In this study, Weymann proposed a tentative reconstruction of an Arabic version of the Romance which might have served as an intermediary between the Syriac and Ethiopic versions. He dated the Arabic translation, which he thought must exist, to the first half of the 9th century. However, the existence of an Arabic translation would remain conjectural until the accidental discovery of a manuscript of the Hadith Dhulqarnayn (or the Leyenda de Alejandro) in 1929 by Emilio Garcia Gomez. This constituted definitive evidence for the translation, and also demonstrated the importance of the Syriac recension in the transmission of the Romance into Arabic.
Another strand of scholarship focused on Dhu al-Qarnayn traditions, such as Mark Lidzbarski who published an Arabic Alexandergeschichte' or, a chapter on Dhu al-Qarnayn, from the Kitab at-Tījān (Book of Crowns) of Ibn Hisham in 1893. Lidzbarski believed that the ultimate (though not direct) source for the traditions in Ibn Hisham's work, at least respect to its description of the Fountain of Life, was to be sought in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Ibn Hisham imputed the traditions he described to a Yemenite king known as Sa'b Dhu Marathid, but Lidzbarski understood that the traditions about Sa'b are derived from traditions of Alexander the Great in the Romance tradition. In 1913, Friedlaender published his volume Die Chadhirlegende und der Alexanderroman, the main topic of which was the fountain of life traditions but was also very informative about a variety of other topics. Despite its importance, the book did not exert much influence on scholarship until later due to the attitude that existed that scholarly work on the Arabic Alexander tradition from the 19th century had already resolved the major questions. After the first half of the 20th cenury, renewed attention came to the Arabic tradition. One of the primary contributors from this period was Mario Grignaschi; one of his primary contributions was the sensational discovery of a manuscript from the Aya Sofya collection of an Arabic adaptation of the Epistolary Romance cycle, a fictionalized correspondence between Alexander and Aristotle. It was composed during the reign of the caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik in the first half of the 8th century. This finding also confirmed Alexander's place and importance in the Arabic Wisdom literature.
In 1978, Tilman Nagel published his Alexander der Grosse in der frühislamischen Volksliteratur. Nagel pioneered a new way with dealing with the material in Ibn Hisham's Kitab, forsaking the older method of the comparative study of legend and instead aimed at deducing the earliest sources and origins of the different elements of the narrative. He also placed the work in its historical and social context, viewing it as an autonomous literary phenomena that occupied a particular national consciousness. His work would anticipate additional innovations in the study of popular Arabic literature towards the end of the 20th century. In these decades, a few short surveys appeared of the oriental Arabic tradition, including that of Stephen Gero, Hamad Bin Seray, and a proceedings of a congress on Alexander published by Fahd, Mazzaoui, Macuch, and Marin. Other recent developments include the work of the historian François de Polignac and, most importantly of all, the edition and translation of Islamic Legends Concerning Alexander the Great by Z. David Zuwiyya.
Today, the Arabic tradition of Alexander legends is the best-research of all divisions of the eastern tradition about Alexander, in large (but not exclusive) part to the more recent contributions by Faustina Doufikar-Aerts, such as in her book Alexander Magnus Arabicus.

He was a Taiwanese calligrapher, painter, and seal engraver, as well as a scholar in the study of Chinese painting and calligraphy. Chiang Chao-shen held prominent positions at the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, serving as the deputy director and Director of the Painting and Calligraphy Department. On May 12, 1996, he unexpectedly passed away due to a myocardial infarction while delivering a lecture at the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang.
Life
Chiang Chao-shen (1925–1996), born into a scholarly family in She County, Anhui, in 1925, was exposed to literature and calligraphy under his parents' guidance and his fourth uncle's introduction to Huang Binhong (黃賓虹) during his childhood. In the fourth grade of elementary school, he carved a seal for someone, earning recognition from Deng Sanmu (鄧散木). Influenced by traditional family education, he laid the foundation for his future artistic creations.
In 1949, after immigrating to Taiwan, Chiang became a high school teacher and joined Pu xinyu (溥心畬), where he became the disciple of Pu Xinyu, a renowned figure in poetry and literature, studying poetry and prose under his guidance.
In 1965, Chiang held a solo exhibition of calligraphy, painting, and seal carving at Zhongshan Hall. The success of the exhibition garnered praise and led to recommendations from Chen Xueping (陳雪屏) and Ye Gongchao (葉公超), propelling Chiang into the position of Associate Researcher at the National Palace Museum in Taiwan.
Then Chiang had the opportunity to study a rich variety of Chinese art, benefiting from the extensive collection. He was promoted to Researcher in 1969. In response to an invitation from the U.S. State Department of State, Chiang visited the United States as a visiting researcher for a year. In November of the same year, he published a book titled "A Study on Tang Yin" (關於唐寅的研究) in 1973, receiving the Chia-hsin Research Award (嘉新優良著作獎) and the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Culture and Arts Award (中山文藝獎) for his travelogue "Hualian Notes." (花蓮記遊冊) Chiang's profound traditional literati background, coupled with his experience in artistic creation, allowed him to present insightful papers and lay the groundwork for academic research and exhibitions.
In 1972, Chiang was appointed Director of the Painting and Calligraphy Department at the National Palace Museum, and in the following year, he organized the " Ninety-Years of Wu School Painting Exhibition." (吳派畫九十年展) During his tenure, he delved into the study of ancient books and paintings, dedicating significant time to the research of Ming Dynasty painter Tang Yin, as well as the painters in the Suzhou region during the time of Tang Yin (16th century) and completed the chronology of Wen Zhengming (文徵明). In 1978, he was promoted to deputy director of the National Palace Museum while retaining his position as Director of the Painting and Calligraphy Department. He served at the National Palace Museum for twenty-seven years. In addition to his academic expertise, he also contributed to the administrative work of the museum.
After retiring in September 1991, Chiang moved to the lakeside of Liyu Pond (鯉魚潭) in Puli, Nantou County, establishing "Jieshe Garden." (揭涉園) During this period, he developed a new style in his ink painting by depicting the scenery of Nantou. He continued to create prolifically, producing high-quality works, and was frequently invited to participate in exhibitions and lectures.
In 1992, his "Wuchen Landscape Album" (戊辰山水冊) was collected by the British Museum, and a solo exhibition titled "Chiang Chao-shen Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition" (江兆申書畫展) was held at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. The following year, fifty selected pieces embarked on a touring exhibition, starting at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing. Chiang Chao-shen passed away suddenly on May 12, 1996, due to a heart attack during an academic lecture at the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang.

76503987 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard%20Doyle%20Berry | Howard Doyle Berry | Howard Doyle Berry (born 1941), better known as "Pigpen" is a Canadian outlaw biker, criminal and gangster.
Entry into crime
Berry was born in Peterborough into a Roman Catholic Irish family and had what was described as a "horrific upbringing" with both of his parents being severally verbally and physically abusive. His father abandoned his family when he son was five years old. Berry was raised by his mother and his sisters, all of whom had developed strongly misandrist tendencies because of abuse by his father. His mother told him he was a monster because he had a penis and forced to sleep in the basement of their house, adding for good measure that demons lived in the basement and would devour him alive. Berry recalled: "I lived half the time in the basement on a dirt floor and a rubber sheet. I got scared that the bogeyman would get me. She [my mother] used to make me go to church all of the time. I used to piss the bed scared". Believing himself to be the hideous monster that his mother told him that he was, Berry was full of rage against the world and he took boxing as his principle hobby as a teenager in the 1950s. Standing 6 feet tall and weighting about 245 pounds, Berry became an accomplished amateur boxer at the Peterborough Boxing Club and the East City Bowl Boxing Club. As boxing and organized crime are closely linked in Canada, Berry's skills as a boxer soon led him into the outlaw biker clubs in the early 1960s. He attracted much attention with a street fight against George Clark of the Vagabonds biker gang that led to the police blocking off Avenue Road for an hour while taking bets about who would win. Berry worked as a chef at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto and as a Buddy Holly impersonator.
Satan's Choice
Berry was a founding member of Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club in 1965 and made his reputation with a celebrated street fight in Toronto against Howard "Baldy" Chard, the former boxing champion in Kingston Penitentiary and the principle enforcer for the gangster Johnny Papalia. Berry dropped out of university and became the main enforcer of Satan's Choice. The purpose of Satan's Choice was to oppose the respectable values of Canadian society by engaging in anti-social behavior and the more shocking the act, the better from the viewpoint of Satan's Choice. Berry became the most infamous member of Satan's Choice, known for his antics such as bringing his feces to a dinner table and then eating it. The American journalist Nick Lowe wrote that Berry was "far and away the filthiest, foulest member the Satan's Choice ever had". the influence of drugs, Berry became very paranoid to the extent that he pulled out his own teeth because he believed the police had bugged bugs inside of his teeth. However, Berry was felt to be most dangerous when he cleaned up his appearance because as he stated: "Nobody would recognize me. Then I went to the dark side of town". Cecil Kirby stated about Berry: "There are guys who would start fights and then they'd say 'Come and help me'. I can't stand people like that. Be a stand-up guy. He was a stand-up guy. That's what I liked about him".
In 1974, the Montreal chapter of Satan's Choice became involved in a biker war with the Popeye Moto Club. Berry was called upon to assist. Kirby recalled in a 2015 interview: "If there was trouble anywhere, they'd sent Howard Berry out to take care of it. He was the Choice hitman and everybody knew it". Kirby was present when" Berry opened fire on the clubhouse of the Popeyes with a sawed-off Lee–Enfield .303 rifle with a ten-round clip, saying "It was like a cannon going off". In a 2015 interview, Berry stated that he was hired to kill people, but never actually succeeded in doing so, saying he was a poor hitman and denied Kirby's claims that he had killed several people. Berry often worked with Ken Goobie to perform violent acts in what Berry called the "dark side of town".
In 1975 to escape charges of attempted murder in Canada, Berry moved to Florida where he was taken in by the Hollywood, Florida, chapter of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. In Florida, Berry was given the alias "Peter Ray Johnson" and assisted the Outlaws in various criminal activities. Berry worked as a car thief for the Outlaws along with stealing yachts on their trailers. Berry reported to Bernie Guindon, the president of Satan's Choice: "Down there they played the game for keeps...They're well organized. They made money big time". Berry became involved in the biker war between the Outlaws and the Hells Angels and was shot twice in the chest by the Hells Angels in a failed murder attempt. Guindon stated of Berry's time in Florida: "They [the Outlaws] didn't like him at all. He was getting away with it up here. Down there, I don't think they took much to him. They couldn't stand his fucking bullshit. They thought he was totally crazy". Despite the dislike of Berry by the Outlaws, his presence in Florida expanded the alliance between the Outlaws and Satan's Choice. Verg Erslavas, the president of the Satan's Choice Thunder Bay chapter stated: "After Howard went to the OLs [Outlaws] it opened the door for even more association/biz. By the mid-70s, we were tight with the OLs in many ways." Berry was convicted in North Carolina for a series of auto thefts along with an attempt to steal a tank from a United States Army base. upon completing his sentence, Berry was deported to Canada where he was convicted of attempted murder and served his sentence at Collins Bay prison.
Drop-out
After completing his prison sentence in the 1980s, Berry left Satan's Choice to live as a reclusive, living a feral existence in a forest in Ontario. Berry is currently living somewhere in hiding.

Plot
Ren becomes deadly ill and Stimpy vows to take care of him. Stimpy dons a nurse's uniform and provides a variety of unpractical treatments that cause Ren much pain. At the end, Ren becomes cured while Stimpy become sick instead. Ren puts on the nurse uniform and says "now ee't my turn!"
Cast
Ren-voice of John Kricfalusi
Stimpy-voice of Billy West
Production
The episode had a troubled production with the script being rewritten five times. The storyboard work for Nurse Stimpy was done by Chris Reccardi while Bob Camp did the lay-out with the rest of the work being done by the Lacewood studio in Ottawa. John Kricfalusi who directed Nurse Stimpy disallowed his own work and used a pseudonym for the director's credit. In a 1993 interview, Kricfalusi said of Nurse Stimpy: "It's really ugly cartoon".
Reception
Nurse Stimpy is widely regarded as one of the weaker stories of the first season of The Ren & Stimpy Show with the American journalist Thad Komorowski writing that Nurse Stimpy is "merely an exhibition of toilet humor".

76504232 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patibular%20fork | Patibular fork | A patibular fork was a gallows that consisted of two or more columns of stone that rested on a horizontal beam of wood. Placed high and visible from the main public thoroughfare, it signaled the seat of high justice, the number of stone columns indicating the holder's title.
Those condemned to death were hanged from the wooden beam, their bodies left on the gallows for passersby to see and for corvus to devour.
Although sometimes used in the singular, the term "patibular forks" is usually written in the plural.
Etymology
From the Latin patibulum ("cross", "gallows", "pole").
The origin of the term comes from the forks used by the Romans to punish slaves. After stripping the slaves of their clothes, the slaves' head was passed through a fork and their body was attached to the same piece of wood to be beaten with sticks.
Patibular forks should not be confused with patibular ladders or patibular marks.
History
Patibular forks first appeared at the beginning of the 12th century. In Touraine, ecclesiastical records and documents attest to their presence since the 13th century. The most famous was that of the Provost of Paris: the Gibbet of Montfaucon, at the Porte de Paris (northeast of the city, near the present Place du Colonel-Fabien). The gallows had been installed under Philip the Fair at the instigation of his minister and advisor, Enguerrand de Marigny, who was himself hanged thereafter Philip the Fair's death.
Patibular forks were generally placed on high ground outside cities, towns, and villages, usually near a main road and in a place where travelers could see them, to inspire the horror of the crime.
Despite the macabre nature of these constructions and the foul smell they emitted, cabarets were often set up in the vicinity of the patibular forks, as hangings were a popular spectacle in the Middle Ages (remains of a cabaret in Creuë).
Justice levels
In principle, high justiciars were required to have patibular forks "both as a sign and token of their high justice and for the execution thereof".
But an older treatise, the Grand Coutumier de France, states that "many high justiciars do not have forks, but for this reason, the right of their justice cannot be weakened" and even that "those who have average justice have the power to hang without dragging, and can only have forks with two pillars whose links are dedicated".
Number of pillars
Only the king could have as many as he wished, and in principle, dukes had eight, counts six, barons four, chatelains three, and simple high justiciars two. There were, however, many exceptions to this general rule, and these varied, for example, according to the customary law of the various provinces and the history of each seigneury:
In 1496, Charles VIII allowed the "dean and chappitre of the church of Angiers", high justiciars in their seigneury of Plexis-au-Gramaire, to rebuild their four-pillared patibular forks there.
In 1696, when Louis Auguste, Duke of Maine made the land of the Garnerans a county, he allowed the Count to rebuild the four-pillared patibular forks.
In 1719, when he made Cons-la-Grandville a marquisate with high justice, the Duc de Bar granted him only four-pillar patibular forks.
In an edition of 1762, the (Treaty of Fiefs on the Coutume of Poitou) stipulates that counts, viscounts, or barons may have and hold four-pillar patibular forks.
In an attempt at a synthesis, the (Treaty of the Justices of the Lord and the Rights depending on them - 1764) mentions that "most of the Coutume which mention the rights attributed to the Lord of a land erected into a County, give him the right to have a six-pillar patibular justice [...] although other Coutume decides that the Count's patibular justice should have only four pillars". However, when the title of the seigniory evolves, the number of authorized pillars tends to remain unchanged: "[...] Pillars; according to their titles and immemorial possession. And for this purpose, there is no need to innovate or research anything, but to leave things as they are, to avoid endless litigation".
The High Justice must obtain the King's authorization to erect new patibular forks, or to rebuild them if they have been down or destroyed for more than a year and a day.
Principle
According to the thesis of Anne Lafran, quoted by Cécile Voyer of the (Center of Advanced Studies in Medieval Civilization), the hanging and the disembowelment (by corvus) recall the death of Judas.
Matthew's Gospel evokes suicide by hanging, while Luke's evokes disembowelment. Both versions can be found in the literature of the twelfth century.
According to the study of the Paris forks, the bodies of the tortured were removed as late as possible, even if this meant rehanging body parts that had fallen off. Indeed, forks lose their as soon as they are no longer in use.
According to Vincent Chalet of the (Montpellier Medieval Studies Center), on the one hand, patibular forks were used, perhaps not often, but in any case not merely symbolically; on the other hand, they were intended to punish outsiders (vagrants, adventurers, rivals, etc.), unlike pillories, which were intended to punish insiders.

76504238 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangyunsha%20silk | Xiangyunsha silk | Xiangyunsha silk () is a type of silk originating in the 5th century from Guangdong province (also known as Canton) in China that is created by dyeing silk with gambier juice and covering it in soil from the Pearl River, resulting in a copper color on one side and a black color on the other.
History
The name "Xiangyunsha" silk has at least nine sets of characters to name and mean the silk, with seven meanings referring to the materials and/or process to make the silk, and two meanings that refer to the sensory experience of wearing the silk: "singing
silk cloth" and "fragrant cloud silk cloth". Xiangyunsha silk has historically been expensive since at least the Ming Dynasty, and has been shipped to Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and as far as Honolulu, where some examples of Xiangyunsha silk have been kept at the Honolulu Academy of Arts in their Xinagyunsha silk collection. It was listed in the second batch of the 2008 National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China by the Ministry of Culture. It is today being incorporated into modern luxury textiles, and it is considered to be comfortable, durable, and resistant to moisture, making it good to wear in the summer.
Production
Xiangyunsha silk is created with the use of the leno weave, which can be used to create visual motifs in the fabric. After dyeing the fabric in gambier juice, it is covered with mud and soil from the river, dried in the shade, and then rinsed of the mud to then be dried again in the grass in 18.5 and 20 meter long strips of fabric. The silk's properties are influenced by the use of iron, lignin, and tannin-rich mud in the production. The production is considered environmentally friendly, as it doesn't generate wastewater or produces waste.

Background
Yusuf Karamanli aimed to maintain power by reorganizing the military, expanding the fleet, and pushing into the southern Sahara. Trouble arose when Sweden and Denmark were slow to send gifts to him. In response, he seized ships from both countries to pressure them. Despite new demands reaching Sweden in 1794, Yusuf Qaramanli insisted on renegotiating a peace treaty, ignoring objections from both Constantinople and Stockholm.Unlike his father, who had honored peace agreements with Sweden, Yusuf Qaramanli repeatedly declared war on Sweden and captured several ships.
War
In 1797, Major David Gustaf Blessingh left Sweden with the frigate Thetis and the brig of war Husaren to resolve the conflict.In June 1798, the Tripolitanians captured 20 ships and 160 Swedish sailors, Sweden started the negotiations. Sweden and Dannmark paid $100 000 for returning their captives.Thetis returned to Tripoli. The new 1798 treaty was unstable, and Yusuf Karamanli declared war on Sweden again in 1800. This time under Lieutenant-Colonel Carl Gustaf Tornquist, who negotiated a new peace treaty in early 1801 to free the hostages. The Swedes didn't ratify it due to Tripolitan demands.
In January 1801, the Swedish warship "Thundera" sailed into Tripoli Harbor with a white flag. During the conflict with Sweden, four merchant ships were seized and sold to Tunis, with their crews held as hostages by Karamanli.
Battle of Tripoli Harbor
In 1802, Swedish and American warships worked together to blockade Tripoli's port. They helped each other with convoys for their merchant ships, and a new peace treaty was signed. Sweden's Consul Burström reported that despite the treaty, the joint blockade didn't work because Tripoli's corsair galleys still accessed the port. Burström noted that the blockade's failure pleased Yusuf Karamanli.
Aftermath
In October of 1802, Sweden withdrew from the First Barbary War and paid a significant tribute to Tripolitania, while the Regency of Tripoli continued the war against the Americans before eventually signing peace with the United States in 1805.

76504292 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful%20Lie%20%28album%29 | Beautiful Lie (album) | Beautiful Lie is a 2019 studio album by American country musicians Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis. The work was the fourth of four recordings released by the couple and received positive reviews from critics.
Reception
Writing in American Songwriter, Hal Horowitz rated Beautiful Lie 3.5 out of 5 stars for being "a well-balanced set both vocally and musically", with "friskier tunes to offset the lost/fading love slower tracks". In The Austin Chronicle, Doug Freeman gave this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, calling the music "some of their best genre work together" and ending "Austin's reigning country couple remain on a roll and are only getting better". In No Depression, Matt Conner called this release "part textbook and part songbook" that "tips more than a hat to tradition while it adds plenty more to the catalog". Steve Horowitz of PopMatters rated this work an 8 out of 10, summing up, "Beautiful Lie successfully captures the sound of the past, but as Robison demonstrates on his self-penned tunes, the past is more than a memory. It is part of who one is in the here and now. We learn from our experiences. Life may not be perfect, but it’s all that we have and deserves to be treasured."

Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that "Willis is just as breezy and delightful as ever" and "has as pure and satisfying a voice as anyone in American music, and her instrument is just as strong and pleasing as ever, with the faint Southern twang and subtle vibrato of her singing adding the ideal emotional punctuation to her performances"; the editorial staff also chose this as one of their favorite country music albums off 2018. In American Songwriter, Hal Horowitz gave this release 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that it "feels like a natural progression" after having recorded multiple collaborative albums with husband Bruce Robison and "it’s a pleasure to have her talent front and center and not sharing the spotlight". Abby Johntson of The Austin Chronicle rated this album 3 out of 5 stars, stating that this "collection of original songs and covers feels effortlessly of the moment" and that it "proves this overall tonality more relevant than ever, and three decades in – better than even modern – once again brands Kelly Willis as timeless".
Jewly Hight of NPR's First Listen noted several music genres in the songs, from "pillowy, R&B-glazed texture of country-pop in the disco era" to "loping, reflective folk-country" and the author ended stating that "Willis proves that she can have it both ways, and that's a source of pleasure for us listeners, too". An 8.3 out of 10 came from Lee Zimmerman of Paste who praised the songwriting, backing musicians, and noted that the music "may reflect a sadder state of mind, but there’s no denying that it still shines all the same". PopMatterss Elisabeth Woronzoff rated Back Being Blue a 7 out of 10 for being a "welcomed return to the music scene" and states these songs show Willis "musicality and empowered voice" as they "radiate and ultimately outweighs the album’s rough areas".

76504313 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los%20Ciclones | Los Ciclones | Los Ciclones is a faction of a Mexican drug trafficking organization known as the Gulf Cartel. This faction was created in 2015, with the Cártel del Noreste and Los Metros as its main enemies. Los Ciclones had as their area of influence the border crossing between Matamoros and Brownsville, Texas..
Background
Beginning as an armed wing, they were created after a dispute between two of the main leaders of the CDG, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén and his brother, Antonio "Tony Tormenta", especially to confront Los Zetas founded by Osiel, they were formed by former members of the state police and the army, standing out for their extreme violence and the use of military tactics, becoming their personal guard. At the time of the separation with Los Zetas, Los Escorpiones took a more important role in the organization. On 5 November 2010, "Tony Tormenta", as well as four of his bodyguards, three sailors and a soldier engaged in a confrontation that lasted nearly eight hours, and involved 660 Marines, three helicopters and 17 vehicles, which left several "narcoblockades", suspension of classes in several educational institutions and closure of three international bridges that paralyzed the city. Two bodyguards who survived were Marcos Antonio Cortez Rodríguez, "Escorpión 37", (Tony Tormenta's trusted man and who was in charge of the armed wing), and Jesús González Rodríguez, "Escorpión 43".
For several years it was believed that the group had dissolved, but in 2015, a cell emerged in Matamoros and Tampico that initially called itself Grupo Escorpiones. These maintained their connections with the police, since their leader was Lázaro Martínez Rodríguez alias “El Escorpión” who was a ministerial police officer and chief of police in the city of Madero, until he was also murdered. It was not until years later that it was confirmed that the group was commanded by José Álfredo Cárdenas Mártineza "El Contador", Evaristo Cruz "El Vaquero" and Víctor Hugo "El Chaparro.

76504351 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoferroelectric%20imaging | Photoferroelectric imaging | Photoferroelectric imaging is the process of storing an image onto a piece of ferroelectric material by the aid of an applied electric pulse.
The stored images are nonvolatile and selectively erasable.
The technique utilizes the photosensitivity of the material in conjunction with its ferroelectric properties. It has been performed on lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) ceramics.
Process
An example of Photoferroelectric imaging, given by Dr. Cecil E. Land in the McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, is as follows.
A thin flat plate of transparent, optically-polished PLZT material (around 0.25mm thick) is sputter-coated with indium tin oxide (ITO) on both sides, serving as electrodes. Then, the image is exposed onto one of the ITO surfaces, while a voltage pulse is simultaneously applied across the electrodes. The ferroelectric polarization thereby switches from one remanent state to another, and "Images are stored both as spatial distributions of light-scattering centers in the bulk of the PLZT and as surface deformation strains which form a relief pattern of the image on the exposed surface."
The image may then be viewed directly or indirectly.
Applications
Photoferroelectric imaging may have uses in temporary image storage and display. It may also have applications in data storage.

76504381 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power%20Behind%20the%20Throne%20%28Warhammer%20Fantasy%20Roleplay%29 | Power Behind the Throne (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) | Power Behind the Throne is a supplement published by Games Workshop in 1988 as the fourth installment of The Enemy Within Campaign created for the fantasy role-playing game Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
Description
Power Behind the Throne is the fourth part of The Enemy Within campaign, and picks up where the previous supplement, Death on the Reik, ends. The player characters arrive in the city of Middenheim at the onset of carnival week, but quickly find that new and onerous taxes are alienating large sections of the population. The characters must interact with a large number of non-player characters in order to uncover the web of plots that threaten to bury the city.
Publication history
The six-part campaign The Enemy Within, designed for the fantasy role-playing game Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, was published between 1986 and 1989. The fourth installment, Power Behind the Throne, was a 112-page hardcover book written by Carl Sargent, with cover art by The Edwards and interior art by John Blanche, Paul Bonner, Charles Elliott, Tony Hough, Martin McKenna, and Russ Nicholson. It was released in 1988 as a 112-page hardcover book that also contained a pullout map of Middenheim.
Creator Carl Sargent created so many notes about the city of Middenheim that these were gathered together and published as a separate sourcebook, Warhammer City.
In 1995, Hogshead Publishing acquired the license to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and published an updated version of the series as six hardcover books. There had been some criticism that there was too great a time interval between Death on the Reik and Power Behind the Throne, so Hogshead added a short scenario created by James Wallis titled Carrion Up the Reik, to provide a link between the two adventures.
In 2017, Cubicle 7 acquired the license for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and in 2019, began publishing a Director's Cut of the campaign for the fourth edition of the game, including a new edition of Power Behind the Throne, which was accompanied by a separate companion volume with additional bonus material.
Reception
In the April 1990 edition of Dragon (Issue 156), Ken Rolston called this "an exceptional example of the diplomatic style of fantasy role-play gaming (a style singularly suited for sophisticated urban adventuring) with complex plotting, impenetrable intrigues, and cleverly drawn NPC characterizations." Rolston did point out "the link between the previous adventure in the series, Death on the Reik, and Power Behind the Throne, and the pretext for the PCs becoming involved in Middenheim's webs of intrigue are a bit thin."
In Issue 9 of the British magazine The Games Machine, John Woods noted "the book contains an appropriate array of attractions to amuse and divert players. A city map is included and, most importantly, details of a large number of non-player characters, interaction with which forms the backbone of the adventure." Woods concluded that this adventure was "An unusual scenario with a greater need for referee and player skill than its predecessors - should be a lot of fun."
In Issue 10 of Warpstone, John Foody reviewed the Hogshead edition of Power Behind the Throne and commented that "the scenario may be excellent in theory, but in practice can be difficult both to run and play. Indeed, even its greatest supporters agree that gamemasters need to be experienced before attempting to run it." Foody also found the cover art was misleading, and the quality of the interior art was "variable." Foody liked the mini-scenario that linked the previous adventure, writing, "Although little more than a small series of encounters, the roleplaying aspects of the scenario are strong, as is the atmosphere." Foody noted the many possible encounters with non-player characters, and suggested, "Inexperienced GMs, or those who have players who are not used to taking the initiative, may well struggle. There are few trigger events to push the PCs or the plot along. The GM is required to be fully confident with the adventure, especially the motivations and goals of the numerous NPCs, juggling them all as PCs criss-cross the city from one meeting to another. There is a danger that those who are ill-prepared may end up umming and ahhing far too much for comfort." Foody also pointed out that there was no description of what would happen should the characters fail to foil the evil plot, calling this "an important omission." Despite all these shortcomings, Foody concluded by called this "an excellent adventure, [although it] is not the best scenario that The Enemy Within has to offer ... It is atmospheric, and I would say the best example I have seen of what a city based scenario should be. It makes a worthy addition to the Enemy Within Campaign, especially with the inclusion of the Carrion up the Reik scenario.
