Horpyna Vatchenko, Ukrainian: Ватченко Горпина Федосіївна, also Agrippina Vatchenko (6 July 1923 - 9 November 2004) was a Ukrainian historian and director of the Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro, where she led a programme of expansion and redevelopment during the 1970s.
Biography
Vatchenko was born on 6 July 1923 in Dnipro. In 1948 she graduated from the Faculty of History of Dnipropetrovsk University. In the same year she began work as a researcher at Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro, and from 1963 was appointed as its director. Under her directorship the museum's collection also expanded: in 1948 it contained 33,000 objects, but by 2012 the number had grown to 200,000 objects.
In the 1960s Vatchenko was involved in attempts to republish the works of Dmytro Yavornytsky. She persuaded her brother Oleksiy, who was member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, to support the project. However, once the works were ready for publication he refused his sister, stating that he could lose his post due to the impartiality of historians' comments.
In 1973 schoolchildren found the Kernosovskiy idol, which had initially discovered by workmen using a bulldozer. Over six thousand years old, it is covered with carvings and is interpreted as depicting the "supreme god Aryan pantheon". However at the time, there was little interest and it was loaned to the Hermitage Museum, who wanted to make the loan permanent. Vatchenko, potentially assisted by her brother Oleksiy, resisted this change to the loan agreement and enabled the return of the idol to the museum. It has since become one of the most significant objects in the museum's collection.
In the 1970s, Vatchenko led the re-development of the museum, and as of 2012, some of its exhibitions still dated to this period in the museum's history. The re-development, described as "radical" in the Encyclopaedia of Modern Ukraine, included the creation of a diorama depicting the Battle of the Dnieper. In 1979 she employed a young Nadiya Kapustina (uk) as a guide to the diorama; in 1998 Kapustina was appointed director of the museum.
Vatchenko retired as director of the museum in to 1983. She died in Dnipro on 9 November 2004.
Awards
Honoured Worker of Culture of the USSR since 1980.
Winner of the Shevchenko Prize in 1979 for the complex of the Dnepropetrovsk Historical Museum.

The Coqs de Courbevoie (English: Courbevoie Roosters) are an ice hockey team based in Courbevoie, Hauts-de-Seine, France.
History
The club was founded in 1972, coinciding with the opening of the city's ice rink at the newly built Centre Charras. Philippe Lacarrière, player-coach for the Français Volants, was approached by a friend who sat on the Courbevoie city council to help set up a resident club at the new facility. Lacarrière agreed, on the condition that the club be primarily geared towards minor hockey, rather than professionalism.
Lacarrière initially enlisted Français Volants goalie Eric Mayer to run Courbevoie's hockey academy, but in 1973 Mayer was succeeded by Thierry Monier, himself a player and minor hockey assistant coach for the Volants. Monier would remain with Courbevoie for thirty-three years, a French hockey coaching record.
The team's name was chosen because it was phonetically similar to the initials of the Centre olympique de Courbevoie, the multisports association founded by deputy and Courbevoie mayor Charles Deprez, to which the hockey club was affiliated between 1972 and 1998.
In 1998, the club left the Centre olympique de Courbevoie to become the Club olympique de Courbevoie, an independent association focused on hockey and figure skating.
Monnier retired in 2006 and died the following year of complications stemming from liver surgery. For his services to the community, Courbevoie's ice rink was renamed "Patinoire Thierry-Monier".
For the most part, Courbevoie has stuck to its grassroots mandate, and has never figured at the top level of French men's hockey, although it did enjoy occasional success at the second-tier level.
Thierry Monier shooting
On 19 February 2005 during a home game against Caen, Thierry Monier was shot by Mansur Bazukov (also transliterated as Mansour Bazoukov), an 59-year old minor hockey coach from the Russian Federation. Monier had earlier served as a panel member for a French Ice Sports Federation coaching exam that Bazukov had failed. For his part, Bazukov felt that French evaluators were unqualified to judge his methods. Monier was hit in the legs, neck and one hand, but survived the attack. Bazukov was sentenced to four years in prison for "intentional violence with a weapon", but he was released on medical grounds and died shortly after.

Sir Alkan Tololo (died 2003) was the director of Papua New Guinea's education department and the first Papua New Guinean to be chancellor of both the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) and the Papua New Guinea University of Technology (Unitech). He also became chancellor of Vudal University, as well as holding diplomatic posts in Australia and Malaysia.
Early life
Alkan Tololo was a Tolai from the Kokopo area of what is now East New Britain Province in Papua New Guinea (PNG). He started out his working life as a primary school teacher in 1957.
Career in education
Tololo worked his way up in the education system of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea and, when PNG became self-governing at the end of 1973, prior to independence in 1975, he became the director of education, a position he retained until the early 1980s. In 1975 he published the Handbook for Headmasters and Teachers in Secondary Schools in Papua New Guinea. Many Papua New Guineans, including Tololo, had been unhappy with the Australian colonial administration's approach to education. In 1974, he chaired a committee with an entirely Papua New Guinean membership, which drafted a post-independence five-year education plan. It placed emphasis on community-based schooling and the use of local languages, with education being more equally provided and with greater access to education for girls.
Tololo's views brought him into conflict with others, particularly the University of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby. He was concerned to achieve a rapid growth in the number of teachers but was worried that the close relationship between the Goroka Teachers College (GTC) and UPNG was leading to the GTC adopting more of an academic approach to education, which would jeopardise the ability to increase the number of teachers quickly. University staff, however, were concerned that a proposal for GTC to offer a B.Ed. degree that required two years of in-service training would lead to a degree that would be thought to be inferior than that offered by the university. Tololo considered that the UPNG Faculty of Education was not needed. He also found himself in dispute with UPNG and Unitech in Lae over his proposals, supported by PNG's first prime minister, Michael Somare, and the country's National Planning Office, for the two universities to be merged. This merger was not achieved, but Tololo did become chancellor of both institutions in 1975, and their governing councils had several shared members. He continued to emphasise that the role of universities was to meet the trained-employee requirements of an independent nation.
Tololo also encountered a number of student demonstrations, where he expected the universities to do more to restrain their students. A particular concern was that of student demonstrations spilling over into the wider community and it was made clear by Tololo and the minister of education that protest would only be permitted on the campus. One cause of discontent was the continuing role of Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State of PNG. In February 1976, the Governor-General, Sir John Guise, the representative of the Queen, was drowned out by students while attempting to speak at UPNG.
Diplomatic career
Around 1980, Tololo was made Consul-General of Papua New Guinea in Sydney, Australia. He then became the country's High Commissioner in the Australian capital, Canberra, before being transferred to Kuala Lumpur as High Commissioner to Malaysia.
Other activities
Tololo later became chancellor of Vudal University, situated in his home province. He served as chair of the National Broadcasting Corporation of Papua New Guinea and of the National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI). An early pioneer of Savings and loan associations, he was a founder member of the East New Britain Savings and Loans Society, which started with 23 members and by the time of his death had 24,000.
Death
Tololo died of an apparent heart attack, on 26 August 2003. At the time of his death he was still chancellor at Unitech and Vudal universities.
Awards and honours
Tololo was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), a Commander of the same Order (CBE), and a Knight Commander of the Order (KBE).
Buildings were named after him at UPNG and at NARI. Unitech established a foundation in his honour, to provide fellowships for students.

Enki-shiki Jinmeicho refers to volumes 9 and 10 of the Engishiki, compiled in Enchō 5 (927), which lists all the Shinto shrines in Japan that were designated as "official shrines" at that time. Shinto shrine
Overview
Shinto shrines listed in the Enki Shiki Shinmeicho, as well as their related shrines in modern times, are referred to as Enki Shiki-naisha or simply Shiki-naisha or Shiki-sha in the sense of shrines listed in the Enki Shiki. Originally, the term Shinmeicho referred to the list of official shrines created by the Department of Divinities in the ancient Ritsuryo system, and is also referred to as Kanjaicho. It lists shrines by country and County, and specifies only the type of shrine (official or national), the type of shrine (large or small), the number of shrines, and the type of ritual for which the shrine receives money. The Enki Shiki Shinmeicho is a list of Shinmeicho at the time the Enki Shiki was established. The number of shrines (shikinaishasha) listed in the Enki Shiki Shinmeicho is 2,861 nationwide, and the number of Kami that reside there is 3,132.
Shikinaisha are shrines that were recognized as official shrines by the Imperial Court in the early 10th century, when the Enki Shiki was established, and the background to their selection seems to have a strong political flavor. Shrines that already existed at that time but were not listed in the Enki Shiki Shinmeicho are called Shikigaisha. Shikigaisha include shrines outside the sphere of influence of the imperial court, shrines with their own power (such as Kumano Nachi Taisha), shrines that became Buddhist temples due to Shinbutsu-nagari, shrines managed by monks (such as Iwashimizu Hachimangū), and shrines that did not have a formal shrine building. Shrines that are out-of-shiki shrines but are mentioned in the Rikkokushi are especially called Kokushi genzaisha (also Kokushi mizaisha) (in a broader sense, including Shikinaisha).
Shinto Shrines of Shikinaisha
There are various types of Shikinaisha. First of all, there are two types of Shikinaishasha: Kankei-sha and Kokei-sha. Official shrines were those that received shibaku from the Department of Divinities during the annual prayer festival in February, when the hōribe of each shrine gathered with the Shingi-kan to receive shibaku. In the 17th year of the Enryaku Era (798), the shrines were divided into two groups: kanshi-sha, which continued to receive offerings from the Shinto priests, and kokusei-sha, which received offerings from the Kokushi. In the shikunaisha, there are 573 kanshei-sha and 737 kanshei-sha, and 2288 kokusei-sha and 2395 kokusei-sha. The reason for the establishment of Kokusei-sha is thought to be that it was difficult for the shukube-bu to travel to Tokyo to attend shrines in distant areas, but even in distant areas, important shrines were designated as Kokusei-sha.
Next is the distinction between large and small shrines. It is thought that this distinction was based on the importance of the shrine and the strength of the shrine. Since the governmental and national shrines, as well as the large and small shrines, were established for all shikunai shrines, the shikunai shrines can be classified into the following four categories.
Officially-funded Grand Shrines - 198 shrines, 304 seats
Kokushin-taisha - 155 shrines with 188 seats
Kankei Kosha - 375 shrines 433 seats
Kokushin Kosha - 2133 shrines 2207 seats
The shrines are concentrated in Kinai, but the shrines are all in Kinai, and the shrines and shrines are all in Kinai. The Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines has a shrine with the same name, but it has a different meaning from the shrine of Shikinai. In addition, the shrine shrine of the modern shrine system has nothing to do with the shrine shrine in the Engi ceremony, and was decided according to the importance at the time of enactment and the shrine.
Among the Shikinaishas, there were shrines that received shibaku for festivals other than the Prayer Year Festival, and these were noted along with the shrine rank.
Meishin - Shinto shrines where Meishin festivals are held, especially temporary festivals to enshrine famous gods with miraculous powers. These are also called Meishin Taisha or Meishin Dai for short.
Gekitsugi - Shrines that receive offerings at the Gekitsugi Festival (held twice a year, in June and December).
Sotamesai - The shrine where the Sotamesai (offering of new grain prior to the Niinamesai) is held.
Niiname - A shrine that receives offerings at the Niiname-no-Matsuri (a festival held every November to celebrate the year's harvest).
Research
Research to determine which shrines are the descendants of shikunai shrines has been conducted since ancient times. In modern times, shrines that are identical to or presumed to be descendants of shrines listed in the Enki Shiki are called ronsha or hiteisha.
Even shrines that are considered almost certain to be descendants of Shikinaishasha are treated as disputed shrines with very high probability of being descendants based on tradition, with little evidence of certainty. Since the compilation of the Enki Shiki, there have been changes in the company names, deities, and locations of shrines, or they have been enshrined in other shrines, or they have been reconstructed after having fallen into disrepair, so there may be more than one shrine that is considered to be a descendant of Shikinaisha.
Some of these shrines are considered to be descendant shrines by other studies, but they often claim to be Shikinaisha themselves.

The Kernosovskiy idol, Ukrainian: Керносовский идол, is a Kurgan stelae, which dates to the mid 3rd millennium BC. It was discovered in 1973 in the village of Kernosivka (uk), in the Novomoskovsk district of Ukraine. It is held in the collection of the Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro.
Discovery
The unique stele was found in 1973 in Kernosivka, Novomoskovsk district, by workmen who were digging a trench for a silo. However its importance went unrecognised and it was put aside for disposal; nevertheless school children found it and informer the Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro. It was named after the place that it was discovered by the museum archaeologist Lyudmila Krylova.
After accession and documentation, the sculpture was displayed at the Dnipro National Historical Museum. However local public interest was not significant, and the object was loaned for temporary display to the Pushkin Museum, where it was extremely popular. From Moscow, its loan transferred to the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersberg, where it was displayed for three months. As a result of its popularity, and the wider context of the Hermitage's prehistoric collections, a request was made that the idol's permanent location should be at the Hermitage. However, due to the work of the director of the Dnipro National Historical Museum, Horpyna Vatchenko, a change in terms of the loan was denied and the object returned to its home region. This return was also supported by Vatchenko's brother, Oleksiy Vatchenko, who was Chairman of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian SSR.
Description
The sandstone sculpture is 120cm high, 36cm wide and 24cm deep. It is an anthropomorphic sculpture: the upper part shows a male figure, with an elongated face, deep-set eyes and a moustache. The figure is nude; the only clothing worn are a belt and shoes. The figure's genitals are prominent. The lower segment of the block narrows and was buried in the ground. There is damage from its initial excavation by bulldozer to the right side of the figure.
All four sides of the figure are covered with numerous drawings, sculpted low relief. One interpretation of the artwork on the back of the figure is that it depicts a tree of life. Regular circles and squares above the ribs, symbolise the sun and the moon. These images testify to the ritual, sacred purpose of the stele. Other illustrations include: weaponry - a bow and arrow and a mace; tools - axes, a hoe, a crucible; animals - a bull, two horse and turtles; on one side a man and a woman are copulating; there are also geometric designs.
Dating and analysis
After much controversy, the object was dated to the mid 3rd millennium BC and is associated with the late Yamnaya culture.
According to the most common hypothesis, it depicts the supreme deity of the Aryan pantheon. This connection was first proposed by Ukrainian archaeologist Valentyn Danylenko, who also proposed a connection between the idol and stories from the Rigveda. However the object has no close parallels.
One interpretation of the illustrations on the body of the figure is that they may show tattoos.

William Willymat (died 1615) was a Church of England clergyman and author.
Life
William Willymat was probably a native of Cheshire. In 1585 he was presented to the rectory of Ruskington in Lincolnshire by Thomas Howard (afterwards Earl of Suffolk). In 1603, with the King's consent, he published a volume of extracts from James I's Basilikon Doron, which he rendered into Latin and English verse and entitled A Prince's Looking-Glasse, or a Prince's Direction, very requisite and necessarie for a Christian Prince. … Printed by Iohn Legat, Cambridge, 4to. The work was dedicated to Henry, Prince of Wales, for whose benefit the Basilikon Doron had been written. Encouraged by the favourable reception of his compilation, he published a companion volume in 1604 entitled A Loyal Svbiect's Looking-Glasse, or a Good Subiect's Direction necessary and requisite for euery Good Christian … at London, printed by G. Elde for Robert Boulton, 4to. This work was also dedicated to Prince Henry. Willymat enforced by precepts drawn from ancient and modern writers the subject's duty of obedience to his rulers. He devoted a large portion of his book to rebuking reluctance in paying subsidies and customs, asserting that the subject's only lawful remedy lay in "the compassion, pity, and bountifulnesse of the king, prince, &c., in pardoning and remitting the same". In 1605 he published a third treatise of a religious nature, which shows literary ability of a high order. It was entitled Physicke to cure the most Dangerous Disease of Desperation … by W. W. … at London, printed for Robert Boulton (8vo), and dedicated to his patron, the Earl of Suffolk. A second edition was published in 1607.
On 15 July 1612 Willymat petitioned the King concerning the arrears of a yearly payment of 2l. to be made to the Crown from the revenues of his rectory, which had remained unpaid for forty-seven years. He requested the remission of the arrears due before the commencement of James I's reign, offering to make good subsequent arrears. His petition was granted. Willymat died at Ruskington at the close of 1615, and his will was proved at Lincoln on 19 January 1615–16. By his wife Margaret he had two sons, William and James, and four daughters: Sarah, Margaret, Frances, and Anne. He possessed land in Cheshire, which he bequeathed to his brothers, James and Roger; in Ruskington, which he left to his son William; and in Bicker, which he bestowed on his son James. The rest of his possessions he gave to his wife and three younger daughters, the eldest, Sarah, probably being married. Copies of all his works are in the British Library.

Arthur Fernandez Coca (20 March 1875 – 11 December 1959) was an American immunologist known for his research on allergies.
Biography
Coca was born in Philadelphia. He was educated at Haverford College and obtained his M.D. from University of Pennsylvania in 1900. He studied at Heidelberg University and during 1907–1909 was an assistant to Emil von Dungern at the Cancer Institute of Heidelberg's chemical laboratory. He worked as a bacteriologist at the Bureau of Science in Manila and was instructor in Pathology and Bacteriology at Cornell University Medical College during 1910–1919. He was Professor of Immunology and Professor of Medicine at the New York Postgraduate Medical School, Columbia University from 1924 to 1935. He was also medical director of Lederle Laboratories until 1949.
Coca specialized in studying allergies. He has been described as one of the pioneers of allergology. In 1953, he authored the book Familial Nonreaginic Food-Allergy. Coca and Robert Cooke coined the term atopy in 1923 when recognizing an association between allergic rhinitis and asthma. Science historian Arthur M. Silverstein has noted that Coca contributed "significantly to the development of allergy as a scientific discipline". Coca attempted to classify hypersensitive states to conditions such as dermatosis, hay fever and serum sickness. Coca and Robert Cooke founded the Society of Asthma and Allied Conditions in 1924. Coca also founded the Allergy Roundtable Discussion Group in New York.
Coca founded The Journal of Immunology and was its editor from 1916 to 1948. He was Honorary President of the American Association of Immunologists, a position he held from 1949 until his death.
Pulse test
Coca developed a new method to diagnose allergies by testing his patients pulse rate, known as the "pulse test". He wrote about it in his book The Pulse Test: Easy Allergy Detection, first published in 1956. Coca argued that hidden food allergies are the cause of almost every disease and disorder including heart attacks, asthma, constipation, diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension, indigestion, migraine and many others. He stated that the pulse test could help his patients identify which foods they were allergic to. For example, if the pulse rises after eating a certain food, then this means the patient is allergic to that food. Coca did not offer any scientific evidence for his pulse test and it was dismissed by the scientific community but later promoted by alternative medicine websites. Harriet Hall has commented that Coca "never put his beliefs to any kind of a valid scientific test... Many factors affect the pulse rate, and when patients are aware that a food is being tested, anxiety, excitement, and other factors could affect the pulse rate. There are just too many variables for the pulse test to be a reliable indicator of anything."

"School Spirit" is the eleventh episode of the first season of Hulu's horror anthology streaming television series Into the Dark. The feature-length episode was directed by Mike Gan, who co-wrote the episode's teleplay. It was released on Hulu on August 2, 2019.
The holiday for this episode is the first day of school.
Synopsis
The film opens with the brutal murder of two teenagers who have broken into their high school, Helbrook. It then cuts to a video of Erica, a senior hoping to attend Harvard and the student body president, advising her graduating peers to take their final days to take chances while they still can. She is then shown going to school to attend Saturday detention, something that she hides from her former boyfriend, Jason. Erica also hides the reason she received detention from the other attendees, Lizzy, Russ, Vic, and Brett, despite their interest and disbelief. The school's Vice Principal tasks the students with the cleaning of the library before leaving for his office.
Once he's gone the teens relax and smoke pot, with the exception of Brett, and they discuss the urban legend that the school is haunted by the ghost of a dead teacher who slaughtered misbehaving students. As the day progresses the students are picked off one by one by the same killer seen earlier in the film. Erica's ex Jason is also killed after he snuck into the school to persuade her to resume their relationship. The group's dwindling numbers is initially attributed to the missing teenagers escaping from detention, but they soon realize that something more sinister is at hand.
Eventually only Erica is left alive and she is knocked unconscious by the killer. She awakens to find herself tied up in the school's basement, where she realizes that the killer is Brett. He informs her that he is the son of the dead teacher and that he has been living in the basement since her death. Brett began killing students that misbehaved, as he saw their actions as tarnishing the school's image. He spared Erica because he saw her as a pure, virtuous girl and thought that the detention would be his only way to meet her in person. Brett was dismayed when it was eventually revealed that she was in detention for cheating, something he was reluctant to see as true. Realizing that he has a crush on her, Erica convinces him to untie her so they can dance together. Once freed, Erica attacks Brett and kills him. As he dies, she reveals that she is far from a pure, virtuous girl as she regularly cheated, had sex, and did drugs - she just hid this to protect her public image. Erica then leaves the school, where she is met by police officers. The film ends with her using the tragedy as a way to promote herself in the media and ensure that she is accepted to Harvard.

Production
While filming director Mike Gan "wanted to combine the great slasher films of the '90s like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer with the iconic character ensembles of the '80s films like Breakfast Club". Gan wanted to avoid the characters coming across as stereotypical, so all of the characters were written "as if each one was the hero of the movie and I think that really helped because they weren’t one-noted and we really got to see different sides." Actors Corey Fogelmanis and Annie Q. were brought on to portray two of the film's central characters, Erica and Brett, based on a script written by Gan, Pat Casey, and Josh Miller. The character of Erica was written specifically as Asian-American.
Filming took place in three locations, two high schools and a sound stage, and Gan stated that it was a challenge as one of the schools still had students in class and they had to make the film look like it was taking place in one school. The crew shot at a fast pace, filming about 8-9 pages a day.
Release
Hulu released "School Spirit" on August 2, 2019. Episodes of Into the Dark are themed around holidays and other landmark days; the holiday for "School Spirit" is the first day of school.
Reception
As of September 2021 "School Spirit" has a rating of 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 6 reviews. The reviewer for RogerEbert.com noted that the first day of school was a bit of a stretch for the show's holiday theme, also criticizing the episode's dialogue and visuals. Daily Dot and Slash Film both criticized "School Spirit" as formulaic, with Matt Donato of Slash Film summing it up as "not outright bad, nor unwatchable, but "harmless" or "unenthusiastic."" Screen Anarchy was more favorable while also voicing similar criticisms.

Ammi Ruhamah Cutter (March 15, 1735 – December 8, 1820) was an American physician. He served as a surgeon during the French and Indian War of 1754–1763, and was also the Physician General of the medical department of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War of 1775–1783.
Early life
Cutter was born on March 15, 1735, in North Yarmouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay (now Yarmouth, Maine), the son of Ammi Ruhamah Cutter Sr. and Dorothy Bradbury. His father was the first pastor of Yarmouth's First Parish Congregational Church, established at the Old Ledge Meetinghouse in November 1730. He and his family lived at the parsonage at today's 60 Gilman Road, around twenty yards to the east of where the church formerly stood, which was garrisoned during the Indian wars.
In 1747, he was sent to be educated by a clergyman in Cambridge, Province of Massachusetts Bay. He made the ride on horseback through "thick wilderness", enduring several "hair-breath 'scapes" (likely with Indians) on the way.
He graduated from Harvard College in 1752, 27 years after his father. One of his classmates was Sir John Wentworth, 1st Baronet, who became governor of the Province of New Hampshire. They later reacquainted in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Wentworth was governor.
Career
Cutter studied medicine under the tuition of Dr. Clement Jackson, of Portsmouth, Province of New Hampshire. His admission was swift, for he was appointed surgeon of a body of rangers, under British Army officer Robert Rogers, who formed part of the army on the frontiers in the Indian war in 1755. He was later stationed at Fort Edward in New York.
After his marriage in 1758, Cutter "immediately entered upon the sober duties of life". The following year, Robert Rogers tried to convince him to resume his station in the service, but he politely declined. Between this point and the onset of the American Revolutionary War, Cutter lived a simple life, and began to grow his family.
It was voted, in March 1770, that the mill stream and privilege on Smith River in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, be forfeited and reverted to Cutter and David Sewall. The privilege was to forever remain, on the condition that they have "a good grist-mill" built and maintained in good order and repair.
In 1777, the Second Continental Congress opted to reorganize the medical department, and Cutter was called upon. He was offered the role of Physician General of the eastern department, with his station being Fishkill, New York, on the North River. He remained in the role for a year, at which point "the circumstances of his family compelled him to resign his office". This included the death of his eldest son, a promising youth at college. Returning to his profession and his pleasing task of educating his children, he was a domestic man. "He sought no higher enjoyments than he could find at his own parlor fireside; that was the scene of his pleasures and the centre of his hopes."
Around 1794, Cutter formed a partnership practice with his third son, William.
Personal life
Cutter married Hannah Treadwell (1735–1832) on November 2, 1758. On December 18, 1758, after receiving news of the marriage, his mother, Dorothy Cutter, now a widow of twelve years, wrote to him:
The couple had ten known children between 1759 and 1776. Their eldest son, Charles, drowned on October 22, 1779, in Fresh Pond in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was 16. He is buried in the Old Burying Ground, near Harvard Square in Cambridge. His headstone epitaph is carved in Latin.
Cutter was, for many years, the president of the New Hampshire Medical Society.
He received an honorary degree of M.D. from Harvard College, and was chosen an honorary member of the Massachusetts Medical Society and Massachusetts Humane Society.
Death
Cutter died on December 8, 1820, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He was 85. He is buried in the city's Old North Cemetery with his wife, who survived him by twelve years.

Russian fascism is the unofficial name of the political ideology and social practice of the ruling regime of Russia in the early XXI century based on the ideas of the "special civilizational mission" of the Russians, intolerance, xenophobia, paternalism, Soviet-style imperialism, the use of Russian Orthodoxy as a moral doctrine, and on geopolitical instruments of influence, such as nuclear arsenal, energy resources etc.
Russian political scientist Andrey Piontkovsky argues that the ideology of Russian fascism is in many ways similar to German fascism (Nazism), while the speeches of President Putin reflect similar ideas to those of Adolf Hitler.
History
The term became widespread in informal circles in 2008, during Russia's aggression against Georgia. The second wave of proliferation of the term occurred during the annexation of Ukrainian peninsula Crimea by the Russian Federation, the downing of a Boeing 777 near Donetsk on July 17, 2014, the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2014 and the start of full-scale invasion in Ukraine in February 2022.
It was first introduced by Herzen in his novel The Past and Thoughts (1868) in the form of "Russianism" to denote the extremist trend in Muscoviteism. The revival of the term is due to the President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria Dzhokhar Dudayev, who saw the main feature of Russianism in Russia's territorial expansion in the Caucasus, this line of perception was continued by Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov, for example.
The main features and characteristics of Russism
At the heart of racism, which is already fully established in the official ideology, are the denial of the rule of law and the assertion of the rule of force, disrespect for the sovereignty of neighboring countries and self-assertion through arbitrariness and violence. In general, these traits are inherent in any Russian government and inherited from the Golden Horde. One of the foundations of racism is the ideology of the spiritual theory of the Russian Orthodox Church about the "divine election" of the Russians.
According to Russian historian Alexander Skobov, racism is an eclectic mix of great-power chauvinism, nostalgia for the Soviet past and obscurantist Orthodoxy. Russian fascsim is also characterized by contempt for the individual, the desire to dissolve the individual in the "majority" and suppress the minority. It is characterized by disbelief in democratic procedures, because "all this is only an instrument of subtle manipulation" (Russian fascsim itself prefers crude manipulation). Russian fascsim is based on the fact that the "people's spirit" and "higher general interest" are manifested not through formal electoral mechanisms, but in an irrational, mystical way - through the leader who became so because he managed to clean up everyone else.
Political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky argues that racism is disguised as anti-fascism, but has a fascist face and essence. Political scientist Ruslan Klyuchnik notes that the Russian elite considers itself entitled to build its own "sovereign democracy" without reference to Western standards, but taking into account Russia's traditions of state-building. Administrative resources in Russia are one of the means of preserving the democratic facade, which hides the mechanism of absolute manipulation of the will of citizens.

Niketas of Mistheia was a Byzantine official, originally from Mistheia, and doux of Antioch (1030–1032). He was an eunuch who held the titles of patrikios and rhaiktor.
Career
In 1030, Byzantine Emperor Romanos III Argyros appointed Niketas as katepano of Antioch, following the Battle of Azaz against the Mirdasid dynasty. Later on, he managed to force a coalition of Arab tribes led by Nasr ibn Musharraf al-Rawadifi to withdraw from besieging Maraclea. He then sacked 'Irqa and destroyed the village of Kurin. In December of the same year, the Byzantine generals Niketas of Mistheia and Symeon the protovestiarios besieged and captured Azaz, and burned Tubbal.
In 1031, he took Balatunus from Banu al-Ahmar, some forts from Banu Ghannaj and Ibn al-Kashih, but failed to seize the fortress of Maniqa, as al-Rawadifi managed to burn their siege equipment. However, he re-sacked 'Irqa, taking many prisoners and cattle.
He later organized another campaign to recapture Maniqa from al-Rawadifi. Prior to that, he captured Rafaniyya and destroyed its towers, then managed to free a captured Byzantine Taxiarches in Safita. Afterwards, he controlled Maniqa after a 13-day, in which he also captured Nasr's wife and four daughters, who were abandoned to their fate. On his way back to Antioch, he burned Jaririn.
In 1032, then he secured the region by suppressing a Druze revolt in Mount Summaq, and capturing Bikisrail, despite attempts from the Fatimid commander Anushtakin al-Dizbari to divert the attackers. Eventually, he returned to Constantinople.

Gail Marie Atkinson (born 1957) is a Canadian seismologist. She is a former professor at the University of Western Ontario and Canada Research Chair in Earthquake Hazards and Ground Motions. In 2014, Atkinson was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada for being an "international leader in the development of models to predict earthquake ground motions as a function of magnitude and distance."
Early life and education
Atkinson was born in 1957. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in geology and physics from Carleton University in 1978 before earning her master's degree in civil engineering at the University of Western Ontario. Following her graduate degree, Atkinson worked with Klohn Leonoff Consulting Engineers and Acres International Ltd and held research fellowships with the University of British Columbia and the Geological Survey of Canada. She eventually returned to UWO for her PhD in geophysics, which she received in 1993.
Career
Upon completing her PhD, Atkinson accepted a faculty position teaching earth sciences at Carleton University. In this role, she analyzed dams, power plants and other buildings across North America to determine their earthquake readiness. In 2001, she received funding to create a national rapid-warning system for potentially destructive earthquakes. In order to establish this system, she oversaw the implementation of a series of 90 seismic probes buried in strategic locations across Canada, each connected by satellite to data centres. During this time, she was also serving as president of Polaris, a joint venture involving government, industry, utilities, and five universities. By 2004, Atkinson's research team installed 70 seismic devices in Ontario, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. As a result of her efforts, Atkinson received one of Ontario Premier's Research Excellence Awards.
Atkinson remained at Carleton until 2007 when she accepted became the Canada Research Chair in Earthquake Hazards and Ground Motions at the University of Western Ontario. Shortly after accepting this role, Atkinson was named the 2007 William B. Joyner Memorial Lecturer from the Seismological Society of America. In 2010, she partook in a nation-wide study looking at seismic hazards following the 2010 Central Canada earthquake. As a result of her interests into earthquakes, Atkinson partnered with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, TransAlta, and Nanometrics to establish a multi-institutional collaborative research program on Induced Seismicity Processes and Hazards.
In 2014, Atkinson was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada for being an "international leader in the development of models to predict earthquake ground motions as a function of magnitude and distance." Two years later, she was the recipient of the 2016 J. Tuzo Wilson Medal as someone who had made an outstanding contribution to the field of geophysics in Canada. In 2018, Atkinson was awarded the Hellmuth Prize for Achievement in Research for her research at the engineering-seismology interface.
In 2020, Atkinson was recognized with the Harry Fielding Reid Medal for her seminal contributions in engineering seismology, especially regarding ground motion characterization. She later retired the same year and moved to British Columbia.
Personal life
Atkinson and her husband have two children together.

Ocellularia albobullata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was described as new to science in 2011 by lichenologists Robert Lücking, Harrie J. Sipman, and Martin Grube. The type specimen was collected by Grube in Corcovado National Park at sea level. The lichen is known to occur in several locations in the coastal rainforest of southern Costa Rica. The specific epithet albobullata refers to the colour and form of the thallus, which is both white (albo-) and bullate (i.e., convex and swollen). Ocellularia albobullata contains several secondary chemicals, including psoromic acid, subpsoromic acid, and 2'-O-demethylpsoromic acid.

Buxus hildebrandtii is a species of shrub or small tree native to the Horn of Africa.
Description
Buxus hildebrandtii is a shrub or small tree. It is generally below 6 meters in height, but can grow up to 9 meters high and a trunk diameter up to 15 cm under favorable conditions. The leaves are oval in shape, leathery and olive-green, 2 to 5 cm long and 0.5 to 2.5 cm wide.
Range and habitat
Buxus hildebrandtii is found in the foothills and mountains of eastern Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somaliland, northern and central Somalia, and on Socotra Island. It grows in semi-arid semi-evergreen or evergreen shrubland communities, generally between 600 and 2000 meters elevation, which lie between lowland Acacia-Commiphora bushlands and thickets and high-elevation juniper forests.
In coastal central Somalia, Buxus hildebrandtii is also found Hobyo grasslands and shrublands, where limestone gorges provide shelter and moisture which sustains shrubland plant communities at lower elevations.

Closed-Loop Box Reuse is the process by which cardboard, (also called containerboard, paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, or combined board) boxes and cartons are continuously reused before they are transported to recycling centers or disposed of in landfills. Efficient and secure closed loops are difficult to generate with single package shipping from vendors to consumers (B2C). Thus, the closed-loop box reuse term applies primarily to the movement of goods between one or more spots on the same business property or, in a B2B setting, between two or more premises where shippers routinely drop off goods and are readily able to pick up and return the same full or empty cartons to their origin.
The “closed-loop” phrase requires that temporarily closed or open boxes or cartons can move back and forth between various points in the supply chain on a regular basis without damage or destruction to their integrity from tape, glue, bands, or folded flaps.
Description
When closed loop supply chains exist or can be created, cartons are frequently opened to remove contents for inspections, calibration, testing, quality assurance, powder coating or other purposes. The flaps on these cartons are then closed for transport to “work in progress” locations or manufacturing assembly cells via forklifts, or conveyor systems. Their relocation may be within the same building, between buildings in close proximity, or back and forth between distant locations with regularly scheduled deliveries. In order for the closed loop to function, boxes require a removable and reusable device that closes the flaps without damage. Security in the B2B world is established by placing these cartons in containers or sealing them on pallets using stretched plastic.
At endpoints in these closed loops, the devices are removed for reuse and boxes taped for shipping to their next, or final destination. Alternatively, the cartons may be collapsed with their closing devices attached and returned to the loop origin in that manner. This reduces time and spares injuries caused by cutting tape on tops and bottoms. It also lowers costs for freight and allows for speedy reconstruction of cartons in a tapeless, closed loop.
High quality cardboard boxes can now be reused dozens of times before disposal or recycling. This leverages supply chain cost savings at the same time it embraces supply chain sustainability.
History
The term “closed-loop box reuse” was first coined by Jack D. and James F. Wilson, coinventors of supportive devices developed to keep carboard box flaps closed or held open without the use of tape. The closed loop term describes a circular life for boxes and cartons made possible by the help of such supportive devices. These inventions have been developed and are sold by companies in the US as well as Japan.
Closed-loop box reuse is the process by which packaging materials can be used and reused to minimize waste. Similar and overlapping terms commonly used are closed-loop recycling, returnable packaging, reusable packaging, sustainable supply chains and circular economy. Laws have been passed in Maine and Oregon to make it the responsibility of producers of waste to pay into a fund based on the amount and the ability to be recycled of packaging associated with their products. These funds will be used to reimburse municipalities for eligible recycling and waste management costs, make investments in recycling infrastructure, and help citizens understand how to recycle.
A circular economy is a large-scale model that involves the sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling of existing material in a global environment. It is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (take, make, waste). It seeks to reduce waste, recover resources at the end of a product's life, and channel it back into production, thus, significantly reducing pressure on the environment. Closed-loop box reuse shares similar goals and perspectives but is specific to the circular life cycle of fiberboard boxes in systems where reuse is the focus.
Environmental Impact
The goal of closed-loop fiberboard box reuse is to reduce waste and pollution. The supply chain accounts for more than 90% of the environmental impact experienced by most consumer goods companies, more than 800 million tons of cardboard and paper are disposed of yearly in the USA. Reusing one ton of fiberboard boxes saves 390 kWh of energy, 46 gallons of oil and 700 gallons of water. Recycling (or reusing) that same ton of cardboard produces less than 50% of sulfur-dioxide than if made from raw materials and saves more than 9 cubic yards of landfill. In 2018, over 17 million tons of paper and paperboard were landfilled in the U.S. It is the largest component of municipal solid waste.
Closed loop box reuse allows companies to meet their Circular Economy, ISO, Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing or Zero Waste goals. Closed loop opportunities exist in assembly lines, pick and pack fulfillment centers, kitting operations, warehouse management systems, and moving and storage businesses.

The Royal Cape Golf Club in Cape Town, South Africa was established in 1885 and is the oldest golf club in Africa.
History
Royal Cape is South Africa's oldest and traditionally most prestigious course, set to the backdrop of Cape Town's Table Mountain and Devil's Peak. The club began on the 14th of November 1885, established by Lt Gen Sir Henry D'Oyley Torrens only days after he arrived in the Cape Colony, soon to serve as acting Governor. A rough first 9-hole course was completed on Waterloo Green at the Wynberg Military Camp and presented the first monthly medal contest in 1886, won by the Torrens himself with a gross of 94.
The club was granted Royal status by King George V in 1910 in commemoration of the visit of the Duke of Connaught, who represented the king at the opening of the first Union of South Africa parliament.
Course
The 6,121 meter course is a par 72 parklands style course built on relatively flat terrain, exposed to the Cape Doctor, the Cape's famous persistent and dry south-easterly wind that blows on the coast from spring to late summer (September to March).
Tournaments hosted
In addition to the Cape Town Open (since 2012) and the Cape Town Ladies Open (since 2015), the club has hosted a number of high-profile professional and amateur tournaments. In 1910, the club played host to the South African Open Championship for the first time and hosted the tournament ten times between 1910 and 1996. Past winners include Gary Player, Ernie Els, Mark McNulty and Trevor Immelman.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Oxford Cambridge (OxCam) Scholars Program, founded in 2001, is an accelerated doctoral program in which scholars engage in collaborate biomedical research at the NIH and either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge. The program offers both PhD and combined MD/PhD training pathways through collaborations with various medical schools in the United States. Since the program's founding, over 200 students have completed their doctoral training through the program.
The program has affiliations with national and international scholarship programs including the Rhodes Scholarship, Marshall Scholarship, Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and Goldwater Scholarship. Partnerships have also been established with the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, the International Biomedical Research Alliance, and Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences.
History and Motivation
The OxCam program was founded in 2001 by Michael Lenardo and Richard Siegel in response to four limitations identified in biomedical graduate education within the United States. These shortcomings include:
excessive completion time for PhDs
limitation of doctoral programs to a single university or institution
insufficient preparation for the global nature of contemporary science
limited experience in collaborative research
The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were chosen as partners by the NIH due to the strength of their biomedical research programs and their students' shorter time to PhD completion (3-4 years). The OxCam program also seeks to promote a more individualized training experience by minimizing required coursework or rotations.
Program Structure
OxCam Scholars design a dual-mentored, collaborative biomedical research project, with a supervisor at one of the 27 Institutes and Centers at the NIH and a supervisor at either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge. Scholars split time between their UK University and NIH Institute, typically allocating two years to each. No formal coursework or lab rotations are required. The project culminates in the conferral of a PhD from either Oxford or Cambridge.
Students wishing to combine their doctoral training with medical education can take advantage of one of three MD/PhD Training Pathways. In Track 1, students apply to Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTPs) and the OxCam program simultaneously. Students in this pathway usually spend two years working towards their medical degree at the MSTP institution, then spend four years at Oxford or Cambridge for their doctoral training before coming back to finish their medical degree. In Track 2, students already enrolled in an MSTP or MD program apply to the OxCam program in their second year of medical training, then complete the same timeline as Track 1 students. In Track 3, students apply to and enroll in the OxCam program, begin their PhD studies at Cambridge or Oxford and the NIH, apply to MSTPs in their third year of doctoral training, then enroll in medical school upon completion of their PhD.
Funding
The OxCam program supports students throughout the duration of their doctoral studies. Tuition and fees, a stipend, medical benefits, and travel allowances are covered by the program. Students pursuing a combined MD/PhD degree will also receive funding for their medical education at participating MSTPs.
Notable Alumni
A significant number of OxCam alumni have gone onto prominent careers in academia, government, and entrepreneurship.

S. Bethannan was an Indian politician and Businessman, in the state of Tamilnadu. He was a Municipal Chairman of Thanjavur Municipality from DMK. He is remembered as the one of the honest and able administrator in managing the Thanjavur Municipality during his time and had wide acceptance across political party lines and all walks of life.
Early Life
He was born in the year 1912 to Sevathapriyan & Theivanai in Palayampatti Village - Virudhunagar District (Formerly Madurai District). He is the 5th of six siblings with 2 elder brothers (Kulandaivel & Sankaralingam), 2 elder sisters (Aavudaiammal & Sivanammal) and one younger brother (Ramasamy)
His parents were agriculturists with the land dependent on rain water. The family migrated to Thanjavur when Bethannan was four due to famine, leaving out the dry lands. The family was a part of a mass migration from the villages of Palayampatti & Kalloorani, who mostly are relatives to each other. They shared a close family bonding and helped each other in their pursuit of survival & prosperity at their new home Thanjavur. The majority moved to keelavassal area, where most of their descendants still live.
Education
Due to family circumstances, with his father passing away, Bethannan could study only up until 8th standard.
Working at a young age
Leaving his mother & siblings, Betnannan moved to Madurai at the age of 12 and worked under Thiru. Guru (a prominent trading family in Madurai at the time. Thiru. Bhaskar who is from that family, is a well known doctor in Madurai), in their Grocery Warehouse. His tenure under Thiru. Guru helped Bethannan in becoming a successful businessman later in his life.
Back to Thanjavur & Marriage, Family
After few years in Madurai, Bethannan returned to his family at Thanjavur and tried out small businesses. He married Thillaiammal in a Suyamariyadhai Thirumanam as he was influenced by Thanthai Periyar's principles & the Justice Party. He had nine children( Manoranjitham (died at young age), Noname Male (died at birth), Sivabakkiyam , Chelladurai, Chandra, Thamilarasi, Gunasekarapandian, Prema, Santhadevi)
Business Ventures
Bethannan established Vensangu in the year 1936, which manufactured seeyakkai (Soapnut) powder. He was supported by his mother & wife who supported a lot in the formative years of his business ventures. His acquaintances with Periyar led to him receiving financial support from Periyar during the initial stages of Vensangu and led to his growth.
Vensangu brand grew and became one of the top brands (for Seeyakkai Powder) at the time in some parts of TamilNadu and Pondicherry. It manufactured Seeyakkai, Arappu and Illuppai powders, with exports to Penang (Malaya) and Singapore to the Tamil diaspora, leading to his rapid growth in business and wealth. He learned and used modern machinery to improve production in a short span.
He started selling his products in bicycles , tricycles, bullock carts initially and later the firm owned multiple vans and lorries for delivery. Later Bethannan started incense sticks (oodhupathhi) manufacturing & semiya (Vermicilli)which did good business in Kaveri delta districts.
As he found opportunities, he started rice & flour mills in Keelavassal and his firm made good revenue. He had manual packaging centres at Old Mariammankoil Road, Dabeerkulam Road, Poomal Ravuthan Koil Road, Sunnampukara Theru, ( all in keelavaasal area) which provided job opportunities to women residing in those areas and became mutually beneficial.
As he progressed in his business, Bethannan did not forget his family's agricultural roots and he invested on agricultural lands in Kattur, Naikankottai, Varavukkottai, Vilar, and was successful in farming as well. Vensangu firm also ran a successful cargo and passenger transport as it owned a fleet of 17 lorries and 2 buses (No. 6 route Medical College to Karanthai and Thanjavur to Kaliyaperumal Kovil (Ariyalur). Bethannan also invested in lot of rental properties in keelavassal area and earned rental income. The family also let some of the houses to needy near/dear ones to stay with minimal rent or no rent. As Bethannan expanded his business ventures, his wife Thirumathi. Thillaiammal ran a dairy farm with more than 50 cows/buffaloes in the backyard of their home at Old Mariamman Koil Road, Eastgate.
Politics & Roles
Being from a socially backward community that faced social equality issues, Bethannan was deeply rooted to the principles of the Justice party & the Dravidian Movement and a follower of Periyar, but was accommodative to believers. His initial days of foraying into agriculture in delta district faced hurdles, but he overcame them through his grittiness and with the support received from Dravidian Movement.
Though Bethannan was a follower of Thanthai Periyar, he became closely associated with Perarignar Anna and became part of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, when it parted ways from Dravidar Kazhagam. Bethannan was one of the initial and influential persons in DMK's growth at Thanjavur . He was the first District Secretary of DMK for Thanjavur District. He also held the town secretary post of DMK party later.
He was one of the first candidates when DMK joined electoral politics after being a social movement. He contested in 1957 elections for the Thanjavur Assembly constituency and secured 8858 (20.85 %) of votes. Though he did not win, he was part of the small milestones in DMK's ascendancy in Tamilnadu's political history. He played an important role in Kalaignar winning the 1962 Thanjavur assembly election. He became very active in politics along with business and participated in local body (Municipal) elections and could not win initially as DMK was still a young political party trying to make a mark of acceptance. He became a Municipal Councillor (Thanjavur Municipality) in the year 1964.
He expanded his political influence and had close contacts with Thiru. Kalaignar, Thiru. NV Natarasan, Thiru. Navalar Nedunchezhian, , Thiru. AVP Aasaithambi, Thiru. Anbil Tharmalingam, Thiru. Mannai Narayanasamy, Thiru. KA Mathialagan, Thiru. Perasiriyar Anbalagan, Thiru. Sadiq Basha, Thiru. Madurai Muthu, Thiru. C.P. Sitrarasu who were some of the founding / initial members of DMK. He also became associated with Thiru. M.G. Ramachandran who had great respect for Bethannan. He had close acquaintances with Thiru. Nanjil. K. Manoharan (one of DMK's leaders and a former Minister. Nanjilar had great respect for Bethannan as he attended his Birthday function in 1984 uninvited, by taking a detour from his bi-election campaign). He also had good contacts with Thiru. S.S. Rajendran (First DMK MLA from Cine field) , Thiru. S.A. Asokan (Cine Actor), Thirukural Munuswamy, S.P Adhithan, Silamboli Sellapan and Ma Po Sivagnanam.
Municipal Chairman - Achievements & Other roles
DMK councillors became a majority group for the first time in 1969 Thanjavur local body elections and Bethannan was elected as the Municipal Chairman of Thanjavur Municipality.
Thanjavur being an agriculture based town had little income source for the Thanjavur Municipality. In order to source income for the Municipality, he was instrumental in building a lot of Municipality owned small to medium shops which were rented/leased and brought good revenue to the coffers.
Bethannan worked towards the completion of Kollidam Drinking Water project for the residents of Thanjavur and surrounding areas, for which he worked in tandem with the then congress MLA and one of the great philanthropists A.Y.S. Parisutham. This facility still remains the major drinking water source for Thanjavur.
He persuaded the Tamilnadu State Government and TNEB to provide subsidised electricity to Thanjavur Municipality , which in turn provided electricity to Thanjavur town with some margin, that became an income source to the Municipality. (Municipality controlled electricity to Thanjavur town from early 70s to 2000's, then it got taken over by TNEB). ** The electricity charges were lower than other parts of Tamilnadu until the early/mid eighties. Thanjavur Thiruvalluvar Theatre is owned and got built by Municipality during his tenor and brought revenue to the Municipal Coffers.
Most of the Kamaraj Market shops till early 70's had thatch roofing and got burned due to a major fire accident. Bethannan got the then Tamilnadu Chief Minister Kalaignar to visit the site and after the CM viewing/hearing the shop owners/renters issues, the Tamilnadu Government provided funds to Thanjavur Municipality to rebuild the market.
During his tenure, Thanjavur Municipality had surplus funds and was able to provide loans to another Municipality (Rs. Two Lakhs. Which used to be a considerable amount in those times) ** To be confirmed
He often took cycle trips in Thanjavur with respective ward councillors in their area to understand the issues faced by the residents. He followed proper procedures in awarding municipal contracts and gave a clean governance. Municipal schools were taken care and encouraged kids from near by areas to join and improved the literacy rate in the town.
He served as the President of Karanthai Thamizh Sangam. He served as the secretary of Social Welfare Service League School (Ottakaratheru). He served as the President of the Nicholson Co-Operative Bank
Bethannan did not use his Public office for his business or personal benefits. He never encouraged his close family members from getting benefits or government jobs, through his influence. Most of his fortune was made from early 1930s until late 60s, before he became the Municipal Chairman.
Through his influence, he recommended deserving students from backward communities for Medical College seats through Government Quota. He has helped lot of people in thanjavur district in securing government jobs.
He is one of the administrators in the installation of the statue of King Raja Raja Cholan in it's present location.
Bethannan handed over the Aimpon (Five Metals) Statue that was found in the backyard of his house to the Tamilnadu Government, which is still with the Art Gallery Department. The piece of land (1400 Sq Feet), where the statue was found got donated by his family after his death, which is part of the present Ujjaini Kali Temple.
The Thanjavur Municipal Council honoured him by naming the open air auditorium that is located between Thanjai Peruvudayar Koil and the Sivagangai Poonga as Bethannan Kalaiarangam.
Bethannan died in the year 1978 and the 8th and current Tamilnadu Chief Minister - M.K. Stalin visited his home and paid his last respects. DMK chief Kalaignar & Secretary Persariyar Anbazhagan paid their respects and unveiled Bethannan's photo in Karanthai Thamizh Sangam.

Joseph A. Zombek (December 24, 1932 – January 13, 1996) was an American football defensive end and punter who played two seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football at Pittsburgh, and was drafted by the Steelers in the 9th round of the 1954 NFL Draft.
Early life and education
Zombek was born on December 24, 1932, in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. He attended Clark High School in Scott Township, and was an all-state performer in football as a senior in 1949. He enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh in 1950, where he was a three-year letterman in football. He majored in geography.
A profile of Zombek in The Pittsburgh Press wrote of him: "A happy-go-lucky lad who likes to tinker with cars in his spare time, he permits no friendships once he takes the field. His charge makes up for lack of heft. He tips the scale at 185 and is a deadly tackler."
Professional career
After finishing his senior season of college, Zombek was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL), in the 9th round (103rd overall) of the 1954 NFL Draft.
Zombek was the final player released in roster cuts. Coach Walt Kiesling said that the final cut had come down to either Zombek or Ernie Cheatham, and kept Cheatham. After receiving film of Zombek the next day, Kielsing "knew he had cut the wrong man." "We had to cut by Tuesday," said coach Kiesling, "and we made a cut in the blind. When we saw the movies we realized we made a mistake." However, due to league rules, he was not eligible to be re-signed until 30 days after the release. After an injury to Bill McPeak, Zombek came back to the team for their game with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Zombek finished the season having played in eight games, one as a starter. He returned to Pittsburgh for the 1955 season, and changed his position to punter. He played in one game, at both end and punter, before being released.
Later life and death
Zombek later was a salesman and manager at Jessop Steel Co. from 1956 to 1967, and was the owner of the Cherry Hills Inn and Resort in McDonald, Pennsylvania, from 1964 to until at least 1987.
Zombek was inducted into the Western Chapter of Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.

Caroline A. E. Strömberg is a Swedish-American paleontologist whose primary research focuses on the deep time evolution and ecology of plants through the use of the fossil record and by comparison with modern analogues, more specifically how previous plant communities changed in response to climate change and how plant evolution affected animal evolution. She is currently the Estella B. Leopold Professor of Biology and an adjunct associate professor in Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington and the Curator of Paleobotany at the affiliated Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
Biography
Strömberg obtained her B.A. and M.S. degrees in Historical Geology and Palaeontology from Lund University (1991-1997). Her master's thesis was titled "The conodont genus Ctenognathodus in the Silurian of Gotland." She obtained her Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California at Berkeley with a dissertation titled "The origin and spread of grass-dominated ecosystems during the Tertiary of North America and how it relates to the evolution of hypsodonty in equids." She subsequently held postdoctoral positions at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (2004-2006) and the U.S. National Museum of Natural History (2007) before obtaining her current faculty and curatorial positions at the University of Washington in 2007.
Academic contributions
Strömberg's research broadly focuses on the evolution of plant communities in deep time, with an emphasis on the evolution of grasses (Poaecae) and grassland ecosystems during the Cenozoic; the response of organisms to global climatic perturbations, including the evolution of plant communities across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary; and the role of silica in the evolution of plants. Her lab addresses these questions using both macrofossils and phytoliths and conducts research across a wide range of fossil deposits in North America, South America, Africa, and Eurasia.

Te Ao-tū-tahanga and Manu-kaihonge were Maori rangatira (chieftains) in the Tainui tribal confederation, based at Moehau in Coromandel, New Zealand. They probably lived in the mid-seventeenth century.
Lives
Te Ao-tū-tahanga and Manu-kaihonge were sons of Māhanga, through whom they were direct descendants of Hoturoa, the captain of the Tainui. Their mother was Māhanga's third wife, Te Akatāwhia, daughter of Rongomai of Ngāti Rongoū. They had a number of older half-siblings in Waikato and one full brother, Pare-moehau, who grew up with them at Moehau. Some accounts make Reitū and Reipae sisters or daughters of Te Ao-tū-tahanga, but there are also several alternative traditions.
War with Ngāti Haurere
When they were still young, their elderly father was murdered by Ngāti Haurere at Tūtū-kākā (modern Thames), while returning to Moehau from a visit to the Waikato, in revenge for an earlier attack on them.
When they had grown up, Te Ao-tū-tahanga and Manu-kaihonge decided to gather a war-party to get revenge on the Ngāti Huarere at Tūtū-kākā. Therefore, Te Ao-tū-tahanga travelled into the Waikato, to Mount Pirongia, where he convinced a number of his half-brothers – Tūpana, Rua-teatea, Pōtaua, and Atutahi – to join the expedition.
The forces gathered on an island, while the Ngāti Haurere made camp on the shore opposite. There was no water on the island and as the forces prepared for battle, Te Ao-tū-tahanga's infant son started crying for water. Manu-kaihonge boldly declared that he would go to the mainland and fetch water for the baby and paddled over in his canoe with a small group. When they got to the shore, Ngāti Huarere let them pass, planning to ambush them on their way back to the boat. However, on the way back, Manu-kaihonge realised that he was about to be ambushed so he shouted and struck his water-gourd with his taiaha spear, terrifying the Ngāti Huarere, who mistook the sound for the smashing of skulls. They turned to flee and Manu-kaihonge's men killed them as they routed.
In subsequent battles, Te Ao-tū-tahanga and Manu-kaihonge inflicted further defeats on the Ngāti Huarere, and, as a result, Ngāti Huarere was wiped out.
Sources
The story of Te Ao-tū-tahanga and Manu-kaihonge is recorded by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, based on oral accounts which he heard from Aihe Huirama and Te Nguha Huirama in 1932, and from Waata Roore Erueti of Ngāti Māhanga, who told it to him in June 1942.

Galaxies is a live album by percussionists Andrew Cyrille and Vladimir Tarasov, recorded in 1990 at multiple concerts, and released in 1991 by Music & Arts.
Reception
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "Galaxies is a dense, detailed album that may well tax the attention of listeners not entirely persuaded of the merits of solo percussion. It should, perhaps, be listened to track-by-track rather than as an uninterrupted whole."
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "This is definitely a recording for very specialized tastes... Although probably pretty impressive to see live, on record much of the musical magic is missing and there are not too many listeners that interested in hearing 56 minutes of drum solos."
Track listing
"Galaxies & Action V" (Tarasov) – 26:14
"No. 11" (Cyrille) – 11:38
"Summit" (Tarasov) – 5:48
"One Up, One Down" (John Coltrane) – 2:19
Tracks 1 and 2 recorded at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, June 1990. Track 3 recorded at the 1990 Toronto Jazz Festival. Track 4 recorded at the Koncepts Gallery in Oakland, California in 1990.

Maniqa () is a castle located in the Syrian Coastal Mountain Range, dated back to the Roman era, it was also known as "Malikas" or "Malghanes" during the Crusader rule.
History
In 1028, Byzantine doux of Antioch Michael Spondyles was tricked by the Arab tribal leader Nasr ibn Musharraf al-Rawadifi to construct a fortress at Maniqa from where he would defend the Byzantine domains. Michael agreed and even sent a 1,000-strong garrison there, but when the fortress was finished, Nasr refused to hand it over, and with assistance from the qadi of Tripoli and the local Fatimid commander, he killed the garrison. In 1030, Byzantine Emperor Romanos III Argyros ordered Niketas of Mistheia, doux of Antioch, to recapture Maniqa from al-Rawadifi. Niketas managed to control the fort in 1031 after a 13-day siege, in which he also captured Nasr's wife and four daughters, who were abandoned to their fate. Niketas then secured the region by 1032.

Reitū and Reipae (or Reipare) were twin sisters from the Tainui confederation of Māori tribes in Waikato, New Zealand, who lived before European settlement. Tainui tradition remembers them for the story of Reitū's courtship by Ue-oneone and for the important genealogical connection between Tainui and Ngā Puhi that was created by their marriages.
Life
The basic story is that Ue-oneone, a rangatira of Ngā Puhi descent, who was based at Pawarenga on the Whangape Harbour in Northland became enamoured by the beauty of Reitū – either after visiting her in Waikato or simply after hearing her described in rumours. Therefore, Ue-oneone performed a karakia ('incantation') which caused his pet kāiaia (falcon) to fly all the way to Waikato and land on the paepae of Reitū's house, which was called Tauranga-miromiro ('perch of the tomtit'). As Reitū and Reipae approached the bird it flew back slightly out of reach and they followed it, step by step all the way to Northland.
At Kaipara, Reipae met and married a man called Korowharo or Tāhuhu-pōtiki. A Muriwhenua account claims that Whangarei, which means 'Harbour of Rei' is named for her.
At Ngutu-pakapaka, Reitū and Ue-oneone met and married. The genealogical link created between Tainui and Ngā Puhi by these marriages is very important in Tainui whakapapa.
Sources
The story is recorded by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, who heard it from Te Puea Hērangi and her husband Tūmōkai Kātipa, and also from Te Nguha Huirama on 11 November 1932. The pair appear in numerous, conflicting genealogies, including a pre-1898 manuscript of Hari Wahanui, a 1992 history of the Karapiro-Maungatautari area by Te Kapo Clark, an 1849 account by Āperāhama Taonui, and an un-dated account by Kārena Tāmaki. Pei Te Hurinui Jones himself gives two diverging genealogies.
Family
According to the account that Jones got from Te Puea, Reitū and Reipae were the daughters of Wairere, who was the son of Tamainu-pō. Clark agrees and gives their mother's name as Māwera. Āperāhama Taonui instead makes them the daughters of Wairere's grandfather, Kōkako. According to Wahanui and Jones' other account they were daughters of Tūihu and descendants of Whatihua and Apakura. Jones' second account makes them the sisters of Te Ao-tū-tahanga, who is usually a son of Māhanga and places one "Maru-Māhanga" among their ancestors (Wahanui has their grandfather as "Raka-Māhanga"). Kārena Tāmaki has Te Ao-tū-tahanga as their father.
According to Jones, Reitū had two daughters by Ue-oneone, Kauae and Tawake-iti, who married Tūpoto and had a son, Korokoro, ancestor of Ngāti Korokoro. According to Āperāhama Taonui, Reitū's son was Taka-tōmua. According to the Muriwhenua account, all tribes north of Auckland are descended from Tūpoto.
Reipae had three children with her husband: Kaiawhi, Hou-taringa, and Rangi-oma. Kaiawhi married Kaharau, one of the main ancestors of Ngā Puhi.

Maiden Peak is a 6,434-foot-elevation (1,961 meter) summit located in Olympic National Park, in Clallam County of Washington state. It is part of the Olympic Mountains and is situated near the eastern end of Hurricane Ridge within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness. The nearest higher neighbor is Elk Mountain, to the west-southwest, and Blue Mountain is set to the east-northeast. The peak is set approximately midway along the trail which connects Deer Park and Obstruction Point. Precipitation runoff from the south slope of the mountain drains into Grand Creek, whereas the north slope is drained by Maiden Creek, and all ultimately reaches the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,000 feet (914 meters) above Grand Creek in one mile. This landform's name was officially adopted in 1961 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. One story has the origin of the name being derived from nearby Maiden Lake where young men and women camped around 1913, and the other being from a group of hikers that passed this area.
Climate
Set in the north-central portion of the Olympic Mountains, Maiden Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in avalanche danger.
Geology
The Olympic Mountains are composed of obducted clastic wedge material and oceanic crust, primarily Eocene sandstone, turbidite, and basaltic oceanic crust. The mountains were sculpted during the Pleistocene era by erosion and glaciers advancing and retreating multiple times.

Aylsham Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Place in Aylsham, Norfolk, England. The structure, which accommodates the offices and meeting place of Aylsham Town Council, is a grade II listed building.
History
In the mid-19th century, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company to raise funds for the erection of a corn exchange. The site they selected was on the north side of the Market Place and the foundation stone for the building was laid by the 8th Marquess of Lothian on 6 October 1856. It was designed in the neoclassical style, built in red brick at a cost of £2,100 and was completed in 1857.
The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing onto the Market Place; it involved two distinct sections: a main section of five bays and a right-hand section of four bays which was set back from the main section. The main section contained a central bay, which was slightly projected forward and featured a doorway, accessed by a short flight of steps, which was flanked by Ionic order pilasters supporting a segmental pediment; the central bay was surmounted by a modillioned pediment with a clock in the tympanum. The outer bays in the main section were fenestrated by sash windows with keystones. The right-hand section was also fenestrated by sash windows although the right-hand bay, which was still further set back, was blind. Internally, the principal room was the main assembly hall which contained a queen post roof.
The 6th Battalion of the Norfolk Rifle Volunteers, which was raised on 23 September 1859, used the building as its drill hall and petty session hearings were held there once a fortnight in the 19th century. The building was extended to the west to create additional office space in 1892. Following a collapse in corn prices, the company which had developed the building got into financial difficulties: a local solicitor, William Forster, acquired the building and the company was wound up in 1893.
The building was the venue for important public events and, in 1899, it hosted the declaration of the result for the 1899 North Norfolk parliamentary by-election which was won by the Liberal Party candidate, Sir William Gurdon. After Forster's death in 1906, the building was acquired by the local parish council and Sir Oswald Mosley held a gathering of the British Union of Fascists there in 1939.
Following local government re-organisation in 1974, the town hall became the home of Aylsham Town Council. A refurbishment of some of the facilities in the town hall was completed in March 2018. Items of interest in the town hall include a collection of material relating to the locally-born pioneer of anaesthesia, Joseph Clover.

With the abolition of the state administration of shrines on February 2, 1946, the official system of shrine rankings (modern shrine rankings system) was abolished, and another system was established in 1948 to replace it. After the abolition of the shrine rating system, all shrines were considered to be on an equal footing (except for Ise Shrine). However, since it would be inconvenient to treat the former official national shrines and some of the larger shrines in the same way as ordinary shrines with regard to the advancement and retirement of Shinto priests, the "Regulations Concerning the Advancement and Retirement of Officials and Employees" stipulate that special treatment be given to them. Since these shrines are listed in the Beppo of the regulations, they are called "Beppo Shrines".
The Beppo Shrine will be given special treatment in terms of personnel, as follows:
If a certain level of standards are met, a gonin priest is allowed to be appointed under a priest.
Guji and Guji are not appointed unless they have a rank above the Ming floor (at a general shrine, they are above the Gonjo floor).
Only those who have a rank above the front floor can be appointed (at a general shrine, the floor is above the direct floor).
Gonjoi is appointed only to those who have a rank above the right floor (at a general shrine, it is above the direct floor).
The status of the priest / Guji priest during his tenure is special grade, and those other than the first and second grades are second grade.
Appointment and dismissal of priests and priests is not a matter of mandate of the director of the shrine of each prefecture (direct appointment and dismissal of the governing of the Association of Shinto Shrines)
In 1951, the Association of Shinto Shrines issued a notice titled "Selection of Shrines for Beppo," which outlined the criteria for selecting shrines other than those listed in the government's Beppo Shrine list. The criteria were as follows:
History
Status of facilities related to the shrine, such as shrine buildings and precincts
Number of full-time priests
Economic situation in the last three years
Activities of the shrine
Number and distribution of Ujiko worshippers
As a result of this provision, the number of Beppo Shrines, mainly former prefectural shrines and Protectorate Shrines designated by the Minister of Home Affairs, has gradually increased to 353 as of 2006.
Beppo Shrine is not a rating of shrines, like the rating of a company, but a distinction that concerns only the personnel of the Shinto priests. However, the shrines listed in Beppo are relatively large in terms of the number of shrines, precincts, and priests, and are generally regarded as a kind of rating. In addition, Ise Jingu is not included in the Beppo Shrine as a separate shrine, and the Grand Priest of Jingu is appointed and dismissed by the Imperial Court according to the "Jingu Rules", which gives it special treatment.
List of Beppo Shrines
Shrines that are not Beppo Shrines
The following companies are not Beppo Shrines because they do not have a comprehensive relationship with the Shrine Main Office. Those whose "Year of termination of umbrella relationship" is 1946 are those that have not been in umbrella relationship with the Shrine Headquarters since its establishment in 1946.

Neytiri is a fictional character who serves as the deuteragonist in the American science fiction film series Avatar and is portrayed by Zoe Saldana. Saldana will be reprising her role in Avatar 2 and Avatar 3.
Fictional character biography
Early life
Neytiri was born as Neytiri te Ts'kaha Mo'at'ite, daughter of Mo'at and Eytukan. She grew up learning through songs, as all Na'vi do, learning to love and celebrate their connection with Eywa (the Na'vi god) and all other life. She later learned to speak English from Grace Augustine's school, but it was closed down after an attack in 2152. During the confrontation, Neytiri saw her sister Sylwanin killed right in front of her, gunned down in the doorway. While Grace saved many of the other students, relations between the humans and the Na'vi grew tenser than ever. Sometime before the events of the film, Neytiri is betrothed to Tsu'tey, and they were expected to succeed Eytukan and Mo'at as the Olo'eyktan (Clan Leader) and Tsahik (Spiritual Leader) of the Omaticaya Clan.
Events of Avatar
One day while Neytiri is hunting in the woods, she spots Jake Sully's avatar and begins to stalk him. As she is about to kill the armed intruder with a bow, a woodsprite floats down and gently touches her arrowhead, telling her that the avatar is pure. She continues to follow the avatar because of this symbol. When the avatar is attacked by a pack of viperwolves, she protects him by fending off the creatures. Although Jake tries to thank her for saving her, she rejects him, as she wants nothing to do with the humans. Suddenly, dozens of woodsprites land on Jake. Amazed by what she just witnessed, Neytiri sees this as a good omen from Eywa and decides to take him to Hometree; the home of the Omaticaya clan.
Upon arrival, Tsu'tey attacks Jake and attempts to kill him, but Neytiri stops him explaining the sign she had received from Eywa. Jake is then taken to meet with Eytukan and Mo'at and they decide that they must study Jake, as he is the first Avatar who was a soldier and not a scientist. Much to her chagrin, Neytiri is tasked with teaching Jake the Na'vi ways.
Over the following three months, Neytiri teaches Jake the ways of the Na'vi. She shows him how move through the Pandoran jungle, make tsaheylu (a bond that allows him to ride direhorses and ikran), speak the Na'vi language, and hunting rituals. She also tells him Na'vi stories, including the story of the Toruk Makto, a mythical Na'vi warrior who was closely linked with Eywa and therefore able to make tsaheylu with the Toruk, a legendary Pandoran creature. During this time, she also falls in love with Jake and eventually, they mate.
After Jake reveals his true mission and explains that the RDA was coming to destroy Hometree, Neytiri furiously rejects him and allows Tsu'tey to bind and kill him. However, before the execution can happen, the RDA strikes, destroying Hometree and taking several Na'vi casualties, including Eytukan. Jake finds her and attempts to comfort her, but once again she rejects him and demands he go away and never come back.
Neytiri and the other surviving members of the Omaticaya Clan then seek refuge at the Tree of Souls, where they pray that Eywa save them. Their prayers are answered when Jake returns, having made tsaheylu with the Toruk. Recognizing his close connection to Eywa, Neytiri forgives him and accepts him again. She then helps Jake rally the other Na'vi clans to prepare for an impending attack from the RDA, who plan to strike and destroy the Tree of Souls.
During the subsequent battle, the Na'vi suffer heavy casualties, but are rescued when Pandoran wildlife unexpectedly join the attack and overwhelm the humans, which Neytiri interprets as Eywa's answer to Jake's prayer. Jake destroys a makeshift bomber before it can reach the Tree of Souls; Quaritch, wearing an AMP suit, escapes from his own damaged aircraft, then later finds and breaks open the avatar link unit containing Jake's human body, exposing it to Pandora's poisonous atmosphere. Quaritch prepares to slit the throat of Jake's avatar, but Neytiri kills Quaritch and saves Jake from suffocation, seeing his human form for the first time.
With the exceptions of Jake, Norm and a select few others, all humans are expelled from Pandora and sent back to Earth. Neytiri watches over Jake as he is permanently transferred into his avatar with the aid of the Tree of Souls.
Production history
Origins
The origins for Neytiri date back to the late 1970s, when James Cameron was preparing Xenogenesis, a short film intended to be used as a pitch for a feature length film that never happened. The film features a painting of a female blue skinned alien. He later stated that after the film was turned down, he kept thinking about the idea of a blue skinned alien and decided to recycle it when developing Avatar in the early 1990s (which was then known as Project 880). Further inspiration for the look of Neytiri came from the description of a dream his mother had in which she saw a blue-skinned woman 12 feet (4 m) tall. In earlier drafts of the screenplay, Neytiri was known as "Zuleika Te Kaha Polenoma".
Casting
In the 1990s, when Avatar began to be developed, Charisma Carpenter was set to play the role. But by the time the film had been greenlit in the 2006, Carpenter had become too old for the role and was thus not cast. Cameron then began a worldwide search for actresses to play the role, with Q'orianka Kilcher being considered and Emily Blunt auditioning for the role. Eventually, Cameron cast Zoe Saldana in the role. Since she was cast early in production, Saldana helped screen-test actors auditioning for the part of Jake Sully, including eventual co-star Sam Worthington.
Accolades
For her performance in Avatar, Saldana won Best Actress at the 36th Saturn Awards, marks a rare acting kudo for an all-motion capture character. As of 2021, she is one of four fully motion capture performances to win a Saturn Award and the only woman to do so.
She was also nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress at the Black Reel Awards and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture at the NAACP Image Awards.

The Lewis Werner Barn, in Kingman County, Kansas near Murdock, Kansas but with mailing address in Pretty Prairie, Kansas in Reno County, Kansas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
It was built .
It is a wood-framed, rectangular gambrel roofed building.
It was deemed significant for its architecture: "The barn is an excellent example with a gambrel roof, designed, planned and built by its original owner. The barn was built on a concrete floor with cottonwood and fir lumber, roofed originally with wood shingles, and sided with five-inch wood lap siding. The gambrel-roof structure meets the registration requirements for the Historic Agriculture-Related Resources of Kansas, historic context. Located on 5-acres within a much larger agricultural property, the Louis Werner barn is over 100 years old and still maintains its historic function and association."
It is located at 4550 NE 80th Ave. on a homestead plot amidst much larger fields.

Pomaderris halmaturina, commonly known as Kangaroo Island pomaderris, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia. It is a shrub with narrowly elliptic to egg-shaped leaves with toothed or wavy edges, and sparse panicles of hairy, yellowish-green flowers.
Description
Pomaderris halmaturina is a shrub that typically grows to a height of . The leaves are narrowly elliptic to egg-shaped, long and wide on a petiole long with egg-shaped stipules up to about long at the base, but that fall off as the leaf develops. The upper surface of the leaves is more or less glabrous and the lower surface is densely covered with woolly, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in leaf axils or on the ends of branchlets in panicles or racemes about as long as the leaf at its base, each on a pedicel long. The sepals are long and yellowish-green with woolly, grey, star-shaped hairs on the back, and there are no petals. Flowering occurs in October and November.
Taxonomy
Pomaderris halmaturina was first formally described in 1925 by John McConnell Black in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia from specimens collected on Kangaroo Island. Halmaturus is an old name for a genus of kangaroos.
In 1990, Neville Grant Walsh described two subspecies and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
Pomaderris halmaturina subsp. continentis N.G.Walsh has leaves with wavy rather than toothed edges, and smaller flowers than the autonym;
Pomaderris halmaturina J.M.Black subsp. halmaturina is listed as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
Distribution and habitat
Subspecies continentis usually grows in forest or scrub on limestone soils and occurs along the coast of south-eastern South Australia, south-western Victoria and near Torquay and is listed as "rare". Subspecies halmaturina is restricted to Kangaroo Island.

Flora Effie Strout (April 28, 1867 – November 5, 1962) was an American teacher and social reformer. Early on, she taught at Lyman School for Boys in Massachusetts and then at Morgan College (now Morgan State University), where she also served as principal. As an organizer of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), she served as a foreign missionary and temperance movement worker, for three five-year periods in various parts of Asia. She was also involved in the social purity movement and was active in supporting women's suffrage. She wrote occasional articles on temperance issues and the lyrics for Morgan College's school anthem.
Biography
Flora Effie Strout was born in Mechanic Falls, Maine, April 28, 1867. She was educated in the public and normal schools of Maine. Later, she took courses at Johns Hopkins University and two courses at Harvard University.
Strout began her career as a teacher. In 1889, she taught for 24 weeks at West Harpswell, Maine. For the following two years, she taught at Lyman School for Boys, a state reform school in Westborough, Massachusetts.
Strout taught various subjects at Morgan College (geology and astronomy, 1893–94; 18th-century literature, 1905) and also served as principal. She wrote the university's alma mater (official song).
Representing Maryland, Strout was a delegate at the American Woman Suffrage Association's 25th annual convention held in Washington, D.C., 1893, and was a member of the Program Committee for the 37th annual convention held at Portland, Oregon, in 1905. She was also a delegate representing Maryland at the National WCTU's 34th Annual Convention held at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1906.
On behalf of the World's WCTU, Strout was commissioned to serve in Japan, 1907–1911. There, she published and circulated several leaflets on temperance. She also addressed large meetings for soldiers, at one, fully a thousand people present. In 1918, she was at Singapore in Straits Settlements, Malaysia, lecturing on behalf of the social purity campaign. This five year commission was largely on behalf of organizing and educational work along scientific temperance lines. Her service area extended to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and Burma (now Myanmar). Strout returned home on furlough to Baltimore, Maryland in July 1924 after stop-overs in India, Egypt, and England.
On behalf of the World's WCTU, in 1926, she was in Brazil; and in 1940, she was in Cape Town, South Africa and then Trinidad. Her success came from having the ability to absorb the cultures of the foreign countries she visited while working for the World's WCTU (1910–42) as an official round-the-world missionary. She was able to put Christianity aside and focus on the promotion of temperance societies among other religions.
She died in Arlington, Massachusetts, November 5, 1962, and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

Anatoli Kuzmich Ljutjuk (Ukrainian: Анатолій Кузьмич Лютюк; born 1947) is a Ukrainian-Estonian friar and artist of collaborative handmade books. He lives in Tallinn, Estonia, where he founded the city's Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Ukrainian Cultural Center.
Ukrainian Cultural Center
The Ukrainian Cultural Center is located in Tallinn, Estonia. Labora is the name of its studios, which include a calligraphy school, print shop, and handmade paper mill.
Artistic works
In the early 2000s, Ljutjuk began to pray for the animals he saw in his Tallinn church courtyard and started making icons of Estonia's endangered species. In 2006, Estonian poet Timo Maran visited the Ukrainian Cultural Center and saw Ljutjuk's artwork. Maran was inspired to write poems about the endangered animals. Maran's poems, new illustrations by Lujutjuk's son, Nestor Lujutjuk, and calligrapher Heino Kivihall became Poetics of Endangered Species: Estonia.This was followed by Poetics of Endangered Species: Ukraine. Editions of both books were donated to the British Library.
Ljutjuk's next project was The Ark of Unique Cultures, with The Ark of Unique Cultures: The Hutsuls, created in 2014. It focuses on the Hutsuls, an ethnic group from western Ukraine and Romania. This book includes poems by Ukrainian poet Mariya Korpanyuk, plants collected from the Carpathian Mountains, and postcards designed by Ljutjuk with messages from Hutsul people.

Sir John Wolstenholme (1562 – 1639) was an English financier and merchant-adventurer.
Life
John Wolstenholme, of an old Derbyshire family, was the second son of John Wolstenholme, who came to London in the reign of Edward VI and obtained a post in the customs. The son at an early age became one of the richest merchants in London, and during the last half of his life took a prominent part in the extension of English commerce, in colonisation, and in maritime discovery. In December 1600 he was one of the incorporators of the East India Company; in 1609 he was a member of council for the Virginia Company; he took a lively interest in the attempts to discover a North-west Passage; was one of those who fitted out the expeditions of Henry Hudson (died 1611) (who named Cape Wolstenholme after him) in 1610; of (Sir) Thomas Button in 1612, of Robert Bylot and William Baffin in 1615 (when his name was given to Wolstenholme Island and Wolstenholme Sound), and of Luke Fox in 1631. Together with Sir Thomas Smith (Smythe) (–1625) he engaged Edward Wright (–1615) to give lectures on navigation. On 12 March 1617 he was knighted. In February 1619 he was a Commissioner of the Navy, but in December 1619 he was confined to his house by the King's command "for muttering against a patent and newly erected office in the customs house". As he was one of the Farmers of the Customs, the innovation presumably threatened to affect his interests. On 15 July 1624 he was appointed a commissioner for winding up the affairs of the Virginia Company; for several years afterwards he was a member of the King's Council for Virginia; in 1631 he was a Commissioner for the Plantation of Virginia. In 1635–7 he was on a commission to inquire into the administration of the Chest at Chatham.
Wolstenholme died on 25 November 1639, and was buried in Great Stanmore church, where there is a handsome monument to his memory by Nicholas Stone. He married Catherine Fanshawe, and had issue two sons and two daughters. Of the daughters, the elder, Joan, married Sir Robert Knollys; the other, Catherine, married William Fanshawe, a nephew of Sir Thomas Smythe, and half-brother of Sir Henry Fanshawe; see also Thomas Fanshawe.

The club never had rooms of its own, but met once a month for a catered lunch in one or other of Adelaide's large cafes (Bricknell's, Balfour's or Bishop's) or, for high-profile guest speakers, the Adelaide Town Hall.
Meetings consisted mostly of talks by members or guest speakers, followed by discussions and socializing. As with most service clubs, talks and discussions were expected to be non-sectarian in religion and non-partisan in politics.
The club was formed as a result of a meeting called for March 1910 at the Adelaide Town Hall by S. H. Skipper, a popular Adelaide barrister, and son of journalist Spencer Skipper.
Famous figures who addressed the Club include Oscar Asche, Lord Baden-Powell, Colin Bednall, Lord Bruce, W. W. Campbell (of Lick Observatory), Noël Coward, Alfred Deakin, Anthony Eden, Andrew Fisher, Bert Hinkler, William Morris Hughes, Sir Harry Lauder, Douglas Mawson, Field-Marshal Lord Montgomery, Sir Ross Smith and Sir Keith Smith, G. S. Titheradge, Sir Archibald Weigall, G. H. Wilkins, . . .

Purim humor, Purim jokes, and Purim pranks are elements of joyful celebration of the holiday of Purim. Notable expressions of Purim humor of long tradition are Purim Torah and Purim spiel.
Purim Torah and Purim spiel
Purim Torah are humorous and satirical comments in the learned style of talmudic or halakhic comments in relation to Purim and read during Purim. A notable historical example is the 14th century Masekhet Purim (A Tractate on Purim) by Kalonymus ben Kalonymus, condemned by many scholars.
A Purim spiel ("Purim play") is a dramatization of classical stories, most often of the Book of Esther, in which the story of Purim is recounted. This tradition dates at least to mid-16th century. Over time it acquired the comic character. Today, Purim spiels can be comedies about anything related to Jews and Judaism.
Before the Purim of 1993, a parody on parody appeared on soc.culture.jewish in a thread titled "Talmud Fortran" with commentary on computer programming in the style of Purim Torah. Some comments: "As I recall you are not (in certain days) permitted to separate the good from the bad. How does this apply to debugging programs during these days?" - "So long as there is less than one part in 60 of bugs in the code, it is kosher...<>"
Purim jokes and pranks
Purim pranks may be insulting and even harmful. There is a scholarship on what Halakha says on whether harm, insult (lashon hara), or injury – whether physical (towards property or a person) or verbal – are admissible in the course of Purim pranks or jokes. There are various interpretations, however Rav Yosef Zvi Rimon comes to a conclusion that insults and minor physical harm are admissible as long they are sincere expressions of joy of mitzva and the harmful acts were not of evil intention; this kind of humor must be used with caution. Purim jokes are for the joy of mitzva, not for just jesting. Purim spiels may include a good deal of insults and foul language directed both at biblical characters and modern real persons.
Notable public Purim pranks
On February 24, 2021 (a day before Purim that year), The Jerusalem Post tweeted that Benjamin Netanyahu could not get hold of Joe Biden for a month because the latter gave him a wrong number which replied "Hello, this is not the person you were trying to call. You’ve reached the rejection hotline. Unfortunately the person who gave you this rejection hotline number did not want you to have their real number."
In March 2019 Esther Voet, a columnist of a respected Dutch Jewish weekly NIW announced that she was moving to Israel, where "getting called a dirty Jew simply means I have to take a bath", complaining about the rise of anti-Semitism in the country. Later she announced that it was a Purim prank, but not earlier than her announcement made waves and she received notes of condolence and wishes of good luck from one camp and "good riddance" from the other.
In March 2017, one of the annual Purim pranks pulled by the officials of the town of Psagot went too far: the social media got ahold of a letter on official stationery that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump would be visiting the town for Shabbos and Kushner would be delivering a dvar Torah in the local synagogue. Hundreds of people from the nearby places phoned the residents of Psagot to ask for a stay during the event, while leftist groups started arranging buses with protesters.
In February 2010, the residents of Bnei Brak fell to the prank pulled by a construction company ZAKA, who announced that oil was about to be drilled there, with posters, equipment, and all, and hinted that the residents would be exempt from local property taxes.
