Olivia K. Gant (June 21, 2010 – August 20, 2017) was an American girl murdered by her mother, Kelly Renee Turner-Gant, after ongoing medical abuse in what was deemed to be a case of Munchausen by proxy. Kelly had initially taken the girl to the hospital for a case of severe constipation; after this was treated successfully and Olivia was sent home, Kelly claimed that Olivia was unable to consume food, leading to numerous surgeries, the implementation of feeding tubes, and finally an intravenous tube that fed nutrients directly into her veins. The constant hospital visits and surgeries left Olivia at times wheelchair-bound and bedridden, weakened by an anti-seizure medication that Kelly had convinced a doctor to prescribe her. The actual murder occurred within roughly a three-week period, after Kelly swapped Olivia's usual doctors, who had refused to sign a Do Not Resuscitate order for the girl, with another doctor willing to sign the order. This allowed Kelly to have all Olivia's feeding tubes removed, bringing her daughter home, where she died from apparent intestinal failure on August 20, 2017. Kelly Turner-Gant, who then went by the name Kelly Turner, was convicted in 2022 and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Early life
Olivia K. Gant was born in Pasadena, Texas, where she resided with her mother, two sisters and father. Olivia's parents had a difficult marriage, although Olivia was close with a beloved relative, step-grandfather Lonnie Gautreau, who recalled her being "a loving child; she just had a great imagination and loved playing with her dolls." After moving to Colorado, Kelly Turner-Gant would actively take photographs of Olivia, mostly related to the girl's hospital visits, and share them online with viewers. Olivia would be dressed in Disney merchandise and surrounded by plush animals, often lying in bed or sitting upright in a wheelchair.
Medical abuse
In 2012, Kelly Turner-Gant brought Olivia to Children's Hospital Colorado for treatment related to severe constipation. Although the treatment (removing hardened stool from the girl's colon) was successful, Kelly soon returned, reporting that Oliva was unable to consume food properly. Olivia underwent multiple surgeries for this reported problem, including one surgery where her small intestine was rerouted through her large intestine, taking in food from a bag affixed to her stomach. Olivia was kept on heavy narcotic drugs over a five-year period that followed for most of her remaining life, and was taken to over 1,000 documented hospital visits prior to her death. In addition to the medical abuse, Kelly would tell her friends that Olivia was terminally ill, and used sympathy to scam various charity organizations. She would post Olivia's "bucket list" of things her daughter wanted to do before she died. With the aid of the Make a Wish Foundation and other local groups, this included an elaborate bat-themed princess party (combining elements of Batman and Disney Princess franchises, in a booking that cost $11,000). Other events were established where Olivia would get to pretend to be a firefighter and police officer. It is believed that Kelly scammed various organizations and individuals out of over $500,000; Christopher Gallo, speaking for the prosecution during Kelly's trial, stated that Kelly had engaged in "the perpetration of hundreds of thousands of dollars of fraud on organizations whose only purpose in this world is to help sick kids and families in need."
Olivia had three different types of feeding tubes surgically implanted at different points, as well as being kept on a strong anti-seizure medication. No doctor had ever witnessed her having a seizure, but Kelly convinced the prescribing doctor that the medication was necessary. Kelly then also had her daughter given a feeding tube that would pump nutrients into her veins, arguing that the other feeding tube methods were failing to work.
Murder
Kelly Turner-Gant had been able to get a Do Not Resuscitate order for Olivia; her usual doctors had refused to sign it, leading Kelly to switch doctors until she was able to find one who would sign the documentation. Kelly then had all of Olivia's feeding tubes removed, and the girl was placed in hospice care. She was reportedly in good spirits at first, singing the song Hakuna Matata from Disney's The Lion King with her mother. This changed drastically as Olivia began to starve, kept on potent drugs and given nothing but melted popsicle juice rubbed on her lips with a sponge to eat. Lonnie Gautreau stated that Olivia was lucid the last time he saw her, and had told him that she was hungry. Olivia died on August 20, 2017, ruled to have been caused by intestinal failure as a complication of her multiple medical conditions.
Criminal investigation
It took over a year before authorities and medical staff began investigating Kelly Turner-Gant's potential influence in Olivia's death, owing in part to Kelly bringing Olivia's sister into the hospital with similar ailments, which were found to be false. Kelly was arrested in 2018 and taken into custody, where she faced multiple counts of felonies, including first-degree murder. She was also accused of defrauding Medicaid, over 100 individual donors who had given to her online fundraisers, Heflebower Funeral & Cremation Services, and two charity foundations that had offered help and support for Olivia. Lonnie Gautreau also filed a separate civil lawsuit against Children's Hospital Colorado in 2021, which was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. He expressed resentment in regards to the healthcare system, arguing that doctors should have done more to prevent Olivia's abuse and Kelly's power in the hospital itself.
Conviction
Kelly Turner-Gant pleaded guilty in January 2022 to a felony charge of child abuse that negligently caused her daughter's death. As part of Kelly's plea agreement, first-degree murder charges against her were dismissed and the prosecution and defense agreed to a 16-year prison term. Kelly also pleaded guilty to felony theft and fraud charges, for which she received a combined 13-year prison sentence to be served concurrently. Kelly later claimed that she was innocent of all of the charges, and that she had only pleaded guilty to spare her family the stress of a lengthier trial. Judge Patricia Herron stated that the sentence would not be reduced or reconsidered, noting that it is highly likely that Kelly will be released on parole within a short time anyway, owing to her concurrent sentences and her plea deal protecting her from a murder conviction. Kelly's two other daughters, who have not been named by the media, are no longer in Kelly's care. The oldest daughter, who had been brought into Children's Hospital Colorado in early 2018 for what Kelly had claimed was bone pain, had no further symptoms since October 2018 when Kelly was no longer involved in her care.
Public response
After Kelly Turner-Gant's conviction in 2022, the Murder of Olivia Gant was featured extensively in news reports and YouTube videos, deemed a case of Munchausen by Proxy that medical doctors should have recognized. Often likened to cases such as that of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, Olivia's case has generated debates over the role of healthcare professionals in preventing child abuse, as well as the recognition of Munchausen by Proxy as a mental illness. Heflebower Funeral & Cremation Services maintains an obituary webpage for Olivia Gant, which has since been saturated with comments from the general public pointing out Kelly's involvement in Olivia's death.

The Chargers–Rams rivalry is a professional American football rivalry between the National Football League (NFL)'s Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams. This rivalry is unique in that both teams are members of different conferences within the NFL and have never met in a postseason game. The rivalry stems from both teams fighting to establish a strong fanbase in Los Angeles after both teams relocated from San Diego and St. Louis, respectively. The geographic aspect of the rivalry came into play in 2017, when the Chargers relocated to Los Angeles, California after an agreement was reached to share the then-under construction Sofi Stadium with the Rams.
Currently, the Rams are in the NFC West division, while the Chargers are in the AFC West division. As a result, the two teams only meet in the regular season once every four years according to the NFL's current scheduling formula. The only way the two teams can currently play each other in the postseason is in the Super Bowl. The two teams also meet occasionally in the preseason.
History
The Chargers initially played in Los Angeles as an expansion team of the American Football League in 1960 but relocated in 1961 due to poor attendance; meanwhile The Rams had played in Los Angeles since 1946, being the first professional sports franchise to play in the city. The Rams initially shared a rivalry with the then-Los Angeles Raiders following their tenure in the city from 1982 to 1994. The Raiders found a much easier path to relevance in the city's sports culture through branding amongst local rappers and winning Super Bowl XVIII. However; both teams would encounter issues ranging from inadequate stadiums and declining attendance in the Los Angeles market. Raiders' owner Al Davis was unimpressed by the age and lack of modern amenities within the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as he initially pledged to relocate the team to Los Angeles in search of a better stadium proposal as the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum was in need of renovation to meet current NFL standards. The Rams' decline and poor marketing due in large part to then-owner Georgia Frontiere created a sharp decline in fan support within the city forcing her to relocate the team to St. Louis.
Returning to Los Angeles
The Rams returned to Los Angeles in 2016 amidst a tumultuous conflict to either renovate or replace their aging stadium in St. Louis, likewise Chargers owner Dean Spanos had sought multiple stadium proposals to replace the aging Qualcomm Stadium which had been the Chargers' home stadium since 1969. The NFL came to an agreement following an unsuccessful bid with the Raiders to house both AFC teams in a proposed stadium in Carson, California. Rams' owner Stan Kroenke had previously purchased land that once housed the former Hollywood Park Race Track in Inglewood, California with the intention to construct a $6 billion stadium. The NFL owners would later grant the Chargers permission to share the stadium with the Rams, as the Raiders had sought another stadium proposal in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Chargers played their final season in San Diego in 2016, and would relocate to Los Angeles the following year. The Rams proved to be more successful in attracting fans as head coach Sean McVay would help turn the franchise's fortunes around and helped the team become a playoff contender in his first season.
The two teams, in an attempt of solidarity; hosted a joint practice at the Rams' facility in Irvine, California during the summer of 2017. During several scrimmages, multiple fights would break out between the players, causing an uproar from the crowd. The Chargers struggled their first season in Los Angeles and finished 9–7, missing the playoffs; meanwhile the Rams finished 11-5 and would go on to lose in the wild card round against the Atlanta Falcons.
2018 Playoff Success
The next season featured the first meeting between the two teams in Los Angeles on September 23, 2018, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Despite flashes of talent from the Chargers defense, the Rams went onto win the game 35–23. Following the game, multiple videos surfaced of fan altercations in the Coliseum which ultimately led to two arrests reported by the LAPD. Nonetheless; several analysts predicted a slim probability of both teams meeting that year in the Super Bowl. The Rams finished 13-3 and made it to Super Bowl LIII that season; The Chargers finished 12-4 but fell to the New England Patriots in the AFC Divisional round.

Frunzenskaya Embankment is a street and embankment in Khamovniki District of Moscow. It is a section of the embankment along the Moskva between the Krymsky and Novoandreevsky Bridges.
Etymology
Along with three adjacent streets, Frunzenskaya Embankment was named in honor of the Soviet military leader Mikhail Frunze. Previously called Khamovnicheskaya Embankment, the date of renaming in different sources were 1925, 1926, and 1936. The last date is most likely correct, since on the map of Moscow in 1934, the embankment was also called Khamovnicheskaya.

In May 2021, Piedmont Healthcare announced the acquisition of four hospitals from HCA Healthcare for about $950 million, which included Eastside Medical Center in Snellville; Coliseum Medical Centers and Coliseum Northside, both in Macon; and Cartersville Medical Center in Cartersville.
A few days later, they announced a $1 billion partnership over ten years with University Hospital in Augusta, Georgia to enhance and expand University facilities.
The rapid acquisition of seven hospitals by Piedmont Healthcare in Georgia prompted the National Nurses United, the largest organization of registered nurses in the United States, to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission alleging the consolidations would give them close to a monopoly in the area.

The Sierra de las Cruces, also popularly called Sierra del Monte de las Cruces, is a mountain range in Mexico, in its south central region, which delimits the valleys of Mexico and Cuautitlán in the Basin of Mexico, with Toluca Valley as well as a part of the Lerma Basin. The Battle of Monte de las Cruces took place in this mountain range, as well as the construction of the Cutzamala System.
It is part of the Transversal Volcanic Axis, and represents the watershed of three hydrological basins: the Lerma River, the Valley of Mexico (both of the endorheic type) and the Balsas River (of the exorheic type).
History
Due to the studies carried out in the mountains, it is considered that Sierra de las Cruces was formed next to the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, which is considered a continental volcanic arc, formed since the recent Miocene epoch, with the La Catedral stratovolcano being the oldest with about 3.71 ± 0.40 million years. years., with an important activity during the Pliocene and Pleistocene formed by extensive lava flows and domes of andesitic-dacitic composition and calc-alkaline affinity, alternating with pyroclastic flows of blocks and ashes, pumice flows, pyroclastic surges, fall deposits, flows of debris and mud, as well as collapses resulting in debris avalanche deposits.
Its entire structure rests in the southern area on Cretaceous limestone or on volcanic rocks from the basal mafic sequence of 7.1 million years, which makes it younger than the Miocene Tepoztlán formation; the northern part rests on a series of volcanic structures from the middle Miocene that correspond to the formation of the Sierra de Guadalupe, between 14 and 16 million years old, and the Sierra de la Muerta from the late Pliocene.

Notes
Players Doca (São Cristóvão) and Benevenuto (Flamengo) traveled with the team to 1930 FIFA World Cup but were not registered because the competition rules in article 5 only allowed 22 players for squad.
In fact, Araken never played for Flamengo. He was registered as a club athlete just as a matter of formality, since APEA (São Paulo) was in a power struggle over command of Brazilian football with the CBD, situated in Rio de Janeiro.
Domingos da Guia was not entered in the 1934 FIFA World Cup due to problems with the Nacional (URU), who had already ceded Patesko.The Uruguayan club demanded a compensation fee for CBD which was considered outrageous.
Benedicto (Torino), Bilé (Ypiranga-SP) and Tunga (Vasco da Gama) were not registered officially in 1934 FIFA World Cup squad, but they took part of the delegation helping in the trainings activities (Bilé and Tunga in Brazil, and Benedicto, who disputed 1930 FIFA World Cup, in Italy).

David J. Hufford is an American folklorist and ethnographer known for his research on paranormal phenomena and sleep paralysis. He is professor emeritus of Humanities and Psychiatry at Penn State University College of Medicine, and the former chair of Medical Humanities.
Career
Hufford attributed his interest in sleep paralysis to a personal experience he had with it as a student in 1963. He later went to study at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, where he became fascinated with the local belief in the "Old Hag", which mirrored his earlier sleep paralysis experience. This led him to question whether the folkloric belief was based solely in cultural beliefs, or whether it was informed by personal experiences. In 1974, he joined the faculty of Penn State University College of Medicine.
Hufford is credited with pioneering "an experience-centered approach to supernatural belief" in ethnographic study. He took the position that the dismissal of folkloric traditions as inherently irrational was ethnocentric. He was a proponent of the idea that the distinction between objective knowledge and "beliefs" should be understood as a value judgement. He described his perspective in the formula: "What I know I know, what you know you only believe."
His research in the 1970s reassessed previous positions on sleep paralysis and explored its relation to reported paranormal phenomenon. He theorized that the Old Hag archetype common to folklore around the world was based on experiences of sleep paralysis, which often manifested in similar ways. In 1983, he published The Terror that Comes in the Night: An Experience-Centered Study of Supernatural Assault Traditions. The book was well received, with praise for Hufford's approach to the ethnography of folklore.
At Penn State, Hufford became chair of Medical Humanities, and professor of Neural & Behavioral Science, and Family & Community Medicine. He left this position in 2007, becoming professor emeritus of Humanities and Psychiatry at Penn State College of Medicine. He is also director of the Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic Medicine. Hufford is a fellow of the American Folklore Society.

The Cavillargues medallion (also called the Nîmes medallion) is an artefact of the Roman Empire found in modern-day France. It depicts a gladiatorial combat between a retiarius and a secutor. The medallion has been studied by American historian Anthony Corbeill and he believes it shows a games official signalling pollices premere, the granting of mercy to fighters whose combat ends in a draw.
Description
The medallion is made of terracotta and constructed via appliqué. It measures in diameter and, when found, was already detached from whatever original setting it may have had. The medallion was found in Cavillargues in the Gard department of Southern France. It is now displayed as part of the collection of the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes.
The medal is Imperial Roman in origin. The style of the medal dates it to the late second or early third century. The foreground depicts a lightly armed retiarius gladiator, equipped with a net and trident, at the left, fighting a more heavily armed and armoured secutor gladiator, at the right. Behind and between the fighters stands an arena official and to the right another official, making a hand gesture. Figures in the rear foreground hold placards whilst the background shows four figures and the text "STANTES MISSI", which translated literally from Latin means "released standing" (or more figuratively "released while still standing"). At the bottom of the medallion is a representation of the barricade that separated the fighting arena from the audience. The medallion depicts no crowd, but places the viewer within the front row of the audience, amongst the most elite of spectators.
Interpretation
The piece has been researched by American historian Anthony Corbeill, who has a particular interest in the gestures used in gladiatorial combats. He identifies the secutor as Eros and the retiarius as Xantes, based on the placard text; these are both Greek names. He also attributes 15 victories to Xantes and 16 to Eros, based on text on the medallion.
Corbeill notes there are a number of published interpretations of the medallion. These centre on the interpretation of the granting of the Stantes Missi, a ruling that a fight was drawn and both gladiators granted mercy. Such rulings are known to have occurred in the Roman era and are mentioned, for example, in poetry by Martial.
The first interpretation is that Stantes Missi is a shout from the audience for the fight in the foreground to be declared over. Another is that the text relates to the figures in the background who are gladiators already reprieved by this means. The third interpretation, and the one that Corbeill favours, is that the background is a separate scene to the foreground and shows the future with the two fighters being reprieved. Corbeill notes that the two central background figures are wearing armour similar to those in the foreground. The two outer figures are depicted as being small, possibly to indicate their lower status. Corbeill proposes that these men are attendants to the gladiators and are removing their arms or presenting honours such as a garland or palm. He notes that a depiction of the past and future in the same piece is also seen in contemporary mosaics.
Corbeill has written on the role of gesture in Roman society and believes the medallion shows the pollices premere, the hand signal that mercy was to be granted. Corbeill believes the figure at the right of the medallion to be an official signalling the pollices premere. This signal is stated by Corbeill to have been a clenched fist with the thumb atop and wrapped around. The pollices premere was contrasted with the pollice verso, a thumbs up signal that indicated that a fighter was to be killed. Corbeill holds that the figure between the two fighters is an umpire and that he looks for the signal to end the fight, given by a person positioned off the scene to the left.
Corbeill considers that the medallion shows that officials (specifically the games' producer, the editor) made the decision on whether to grant mercy not the victorious gladiator who seeks approval from the crown, as is often depicted in popular culture such as the late 19th-century Jean-Léon Gérôme painting Pollice Verso.
French historian Héron de Villefosse considered the vertical line at the right of the medallion to be a baton held by the official on the right. Such batons are known from other Roman depictions of gladiatorial combats and were used by officials to separate the fighters. Corbeill considers that the line, if it depicts a baton, cannot be associated with the right hand figure as his hand is incorrectly positioned to hold it. Corbeill considers the line may serve to separate the background scene from the righthand placard holder, who is associated with the foreground scene, or is a baton held by the official in the centre of the scene. Corbeill favours the latter latter interpretation.

The Eastern Ukraine offensive is an ongoing theatre of operation in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine for control over Eastern Ukraine.
Background
Offensive
24 February
After Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the special military operation in Ukraine, Russian forces crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border and began advancing towards Kharkiv. They met Ukrainian resistance, thus beginning the Battle of Kharkiv.
Meanwhile, in Konotop, Russian forces advancing from the northeast had encircled the city and placed it under siege.
In Sumy, fighting began in the outskirts of the city around 3:00am, beginning the Battle of Sumy. Warfare between the Ukrainians and the Russians continued through the day and into the evening.
At 7:30am, fighting started in Okhtyrka, commencing the Battle of Okhtyrka. Ukrainian forces put up a fierce resistance and the Russians retreated
25 February
At 1:39am, it was reported that Russian forces had retreated from the city of Sumy. Fierce fighting continued in the northern suburbs of Kharkiv.
In the morning of 25 February, Russian forces advanced from the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) towards Mariupol. They came up against Ukrainian forces in Pavilopil. Although the Ukrainians were victorious, destroying at least 20 Russian tanks in the process, in the evening the Russian Navy began an amphibious assault 70 kilometers (43 miles) from Mariupol, from the Sea of Azov.
In Starobilsk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reportedly destroyed a group of Russian soldiers attempting to cross the river Aidar in the Battle of Starobilsk.
At Okhtyrka, BM-27 Uragan missiles hit a school in the city, killing a guard and injuring an unknown number of children and a teacher. However, Ukrainian forces put up a fierce resistance and the Russians retreated.
26 February
The Governor of Kharkiv Oblast Oleh Synyehubov claimed that Kharkiv was still under Ukrainian control. He also announced a curfew for the city.
In Sumy, conflict had broken out again. Russians managed to capture half of the city during the day, but by nightfall the Ukrainians repelled the attackers from the city. 3 civilian casualties were reported in Sumy.
Russian forces continued to bombard Mariupol with artillery throughout the day Russian forces west of Sumy advanced further westwards by the night according to the intelligence group Rochan Consulting, and were apparently from Kiev.
27 February
In the early morning in Kharkiv, a gas pipeline was destroyed by Russian forces. Later that morning Russian forces entered the city. Explosions were also heard. The Russian Minister of Defense Igor Konashenkov stated that the "the 302nd anti-aircraft missile regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, equipped with Buk M-1 air defense systems, voluntarily laid down their arms and surrendered." in a claim that is regarded as false by Ukrainian authorities. A top adviser in Ukraine reported that half of the Russian vehicles that entered Kharkiv had been destroyed by the Ukrainian military.
In the morning of 27 February, it was reported that a Russian tank column quickly advanced on Mariupol from the DPR, but the attack was prevented by Ukrainian forces. 6 Russian soldiers were captured.
A number of Russian vehicles advanced into Sumy from the east. A civilian car with adults and children in it was shot at, killing a woman.
By the afternoon, Ukrainian officials, including Governor Synyehubov, said that Kharkiv was still under Ukrainian control after heavy fighting. Hennadiy Matsegora, the mayor of Kupiansk, agreed to hand over control of the city to Russian forces and accused Ukrainian forces of abandoning it when the invasion began. Matesegora was later accused of treason by Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova.
Luhansk Oblast governor Serhiy Haidai stated that Stanytsia Luhanska and Shchastia were captured by Russian forces who had practically destroyed the settlements during their shelling. Donetsk Oblast governor Pavlo Kyrylenko also accused them of destroying Volnovakha.
1 March
On 1 March, more than 70 Ukrainian soldiers were killed after Russian shelling on the military base in Okhtyrka according to Dmytro Zhyvytskyi, the governor of Sumy Oblast.

"Lo fiolairé" (Auvergnat; spinner) is a traditional traditional Occitan song, from the region of Aurillac and Haute-Auvergne, composed by an anonymous author in the Occitan language.
History and content
The piece was recovered by the composer Joseph Canteloube between 1923-1930 and inserted in the collection Chants d'Auvergne (Songs from Auvergne), where he transcribed it with arrangement for soprano and orchestra.
In 1964 Luciano Berio transcribed the piece in turn, with an arrangement for voice (mezzo-soprano), flute, clarinet, harp, percussion, viola and cello. The musical piece was included in the song cycle Folk Songs collection and was recorded by his wife Cathy Berberian.
It is a canso, a poetic composition, composed of twelve lines (four triplets, the rhymes are identical in all the stanzas; there is also the rima estamp, which is found in the same place from verse to verse (coblas unisonans).
The song tells the story of a shepherdess who remembers that when she was very young, while she was looking after the flock, she also had a stick to spin and had called a shepherd to help her, but he in return asked him for a kiss and she, who was not an ungrateful one, he gave her two.

Triforillonia costellae is a species of tri-radially symmetric organism which possess an unknown affinity, and might have been a tri-radially symmetric disc of some kind.
The occurrence of T. costellae in the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, is uncommon, and scientists have said that T. costellae was less resilient than other tri-radially symmetric organisms at the time, such as Albumares and Anfesta.
Affinity
The affinity of T. cortellae is unknown, seeing as how it shares similarities with the phylum Trilobozoa, yet the appearance of T. costellae is similar to that of a holdfast, or stem, of a Rangeomorph.
Preservation
T. costellae fossils are preserved as shallow casts on a sedimentary bed.

The San Gallo Gate () is part of the city walls of Florence and is located in Piazza della Libertà, opposite the Triumphal Arch.
History
The San Gallo Gate was begun according to the plans of Arnolfo di Cambio in 1284, but was not completed until 1327. In the 13th century, it was one of the most heavily trafficked gates in the city, as it was the most northerly, connected to the road to Bologna. On the gate, whose keys are still kept in the local history section of Palazzo Vecchio, an inscription recalls the foundation of the building in 1285 by the captain of the Guelph party Rolandino da Canossa, while another, later, celebrates the passage of King Frederick IV of Denmark in 1708, on his journey to Venice. The exterior is decorated with Marzocco while the interior lunette contains traces of a fresco depicting the Madonna and saints.
Just outside the door was the complex of the convent of San Gallo, the work of Giuliano da Sangallo, who got his nickname "da Sangallo" from this much-loved building. It was destroyed, along with many others, to clear the cannons from the walls in preparation for the siege of Florence (1529-1530).
It is also outside this gate, in the stony bed of the Mugnone that served as a moat, that Calandrino's search for the Heliotrope (Boccaccio, Decameron VIII, 3) is set.
It was also in this area of Porta San Gallo, outside the walls of Florence, that the Strozzi villa was located, which differed from the other houses in the area because it housed a group of courtesans - including Camilla Pisana - in the exclusive service of the master of the house, Filippo Strozzi, and his group of "giovani scapestrati".

The International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine () is a volunteer foreign legion military unit created by the Government of Ukraine on the request of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to fight in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is one of several Ukrainian volunteer battalions formed since 2014.
History
Under the leadership of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the unit was created to join the defense of Ukraine against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and its formation was announced in a statement by the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on 27 February 2022, at around 11:00 local time. Kuleba also promoted it on Twitter, inviting individuals to apply and stating that "together we defeated Hitler, and we will defeat Putin too."
Those who want to join the unit are able to do so by contacting the Defense Attaché of the Ukrainian Embassy in their respective country. The effort to raise an International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine bears resemblances to Kyiv's efforts during and since the 2014 hostilities in Donbas and Russo-Ukrainian War to recruit foreign volunteer battalions.
International response
Australia
The Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison told reporters "our advice to all Australians is, do not travel to Ukraine... I would counsel against making assumptions about the legality of such activity at this point, given the uncertainties that are associated with the arrangements and the force that the President of Ukraine Zelenskyy is putting in place."
Canada
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says it is up to individual Canadians to decide whether they want to join Ukraine’s new foreign legion to help the country fight the Russian invasion: "We understand that people of Ukrainian descent want to support their fellow Ukrainians and also that there is a desire to defend the motherland and in that sense it is their own individual decision... Let me be clear: we are all very supportive of any form of support to Ukrainians right now".
Approximately 2.7% of Canadians have Ukrainian ancestry.
Czechia
Citizens of the Czech Republic are allowed to join other countries' armed forces as foreign volunteers if they get an approval by the President of the Czech Republic. On the 28th of February, the president Miloš Zeman stated to be in favour of allowing potential volunteers to join the newly formed Ukrainian legion. The Ministry of Defence already reported first applicants.
Denmark
Statements by the Prime Minister of Denmark on Sunday, February 27, 2022, indicated that at first glance, she did not believe it would be illegal for Danes to participate in the conflict.
Japan
On March 1, Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said, "I am aware that the Embassy of Ukraine in Japan is calling for such (volunteer soldiers), but I would like you to refrain from traveling to Ukraine, regardless of your purpose."
Latvia
The Saeima of Latvia unanimously approved immunity from prosecution for Latvian volunteers who wish to join combat on the side of the Ukrainian military.
Netherlands
On Monday the 28th of February the Minister of Defence, Kajsa Ollongren, announced that joining the international foreign legion is legal by law. In support of her statement, she said; "it's only illegal to join a foreign army if that army is at war with the Netherlands."
United Kingdom
The Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom Liz Truss said "the people of Ukraine are fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but also for the whole of Europe because that is what President [Vladimir] Putin is challenging. And absolutely, if people want to support that struggle, I would support them in doing that."

Lasiopetalum glutinosum is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spreading, multi-stemmed shrub with densely hairy young stems, egg-shaped leaves often with three lobes and bright pink or dark red flowers.
Description
Lasiopetalum glutinosum is a spreading, multi-stemmed, sticky shrub that typically grows to high and wide, its young stems covered with white and rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped, often with three lobes, mostly long and wide on a petiole long. Both surfaces of the leaves are covered with white and rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in loose groups of two to twelve long, on a peduncle long, each flower on a pedicel long with narrowly egg-shaped to elliptic bracts long at the base and similar bracteoles long near the base of the sepals. The sepals are bright pink or dark red, the lobes egg-shaped and long and there are no petals. The anthers are dark red with a white tip and long. Flowering occurs from September to December.
Taxonomy
This species was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley who gave it the name Thomasia glutinosa in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony. In 1881, Ferdinand von Mueller changed the name to Lasiopetalum glutinosum in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae. The specific epithet (glutinosum) means "sticky", referring to the flowers.
In 2015 Kelly Anne Shepherd and Carolyn F. Wilkins described two subspecies and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
Lasiopetalum glutinosum (Lindl.) F.Muell. subsp. glutinosum has three-lobed leaves and scattered white hairs at the base of the sepals;
Lasiopetalum glutinosum subsp. latifolium K.A.Sheph. & C.F.Wilkins has egg-shaped, or only shallowly lobed leaves, and dense, star-shaped hairs at the base of the sepals.
Distribution and habitat
This lasiopetalum grows in open woodland and low scrub, subspecies glutinosum mostly on the Darling Scarp near Perth in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions and subspecies latifolium between Badgingarra and Boddington in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions.
Conservation status
Lasiopetalum glutinosum subsp. latifolium is listed as "not threatened" but subsp. glutinosum is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.

Brass Street, locally known as Peetal Gali, is a street located in Golimar, Karachi, a locality which lies between Nazimabad and Guru Mandir. The street is well-known for finest brass work, utensils and decoration pieces, in Pakistan.
History
The artisans who work in the Brass Street, Karachi have an emigrant background who migrated from the city of Moradabad, a city known as brass city of India, after the partition of India in 1947.
Brass work is on the decline in Pakistan and the businesses which are active on the street now only deal with bulk clients who have export and import business. One reason of the decline of brass work is rising cost of coal which is used in their ovens. Their work has been exhibited in numerous countries including China.
As of January 2018, the number of shops on the street have decreased to just seven.

A die shot or die photography is a photo or recording of the layout of an integrated circuit, showings its design with any packaging removed. A die shot can be compared with the cross-section of an (almost) two-dimensional computer chip, on which the design and construction of various tracks and components can be clearly seen. Due to the high complexity of modern computer chips, die-shots are often displayed colourfully, with various parts coloured using special lighting or even manually.
Methods
A die shot is literally a picture of a computer chip without its housing. There are two ways to capture such a chip "naked" on a photo; by either taking the photo before a chip is packaged or by removing its package.
Avoiding the package
Taking a photo before the chip ends up in a housing is typically preserved to the chip manufacturer, because the chip is packed fairly quickly in the production process to protect the sensitive very small parts against external influences. However, manufacturers may be reluctant to share die shots to prevent competitors from easily gaining insight into the technological progress and complexity of a chip.
Removing the package
Removing the housing from a chip is typically a chemical process - a chip is so small and the parts are so microscopic that opening a housing (also named delidding) with tools such as saws, sanders or dremels could damage the chip in such a way that a die shot is no longer or less useful. For example, sulphuric acid can be used to dissolve the plastic housing of a chip. This is not a harmless process - sulphuric acid can cause a lot of health damage to people, animals and the environment. Chips are immersed in a glass jar with sulphuric acid, after which the sulphuric acid is boiled for up to 45 minutes at a temperature of 337 degrees Celsius. Once the plastic housing has decayed, there may be other processes to remove leftover carbon, such as with a hot bath of concentrated nitric acid. After this, the contents of a chip are relatively exposed and a picture can be made of the chip with macrophotography or microphotography.

Eumemmerring Creek is an urban creek of the Port Phillip catchment, located in the southeastern Greater Melbourne region of the Australian east coast state of Victoria. It joins the Dandenong Creek (of which it can be considered a tributary) to form the partly man-made Patterson River, which in turn drains into Beaumaris Bay.
Course
The creek's headwaters originate in the Dandenong Ranges as various small streams and springs from the hills between Mt. Morton (a small peak just west of Belgrave South) and Lysterfield Park. The formed stream first flows southwards along the western fringe of Narre Warren East, before picking up a number of highly modified drains and turns southwesterly at the northern end of Narre Warren North. After being reinforced by an outflow channel from Lysterfield Lake (known as the Heatherton Road East Drain), the creek meanders further and serves as the suburban boundary between Endeavour Hills, Hallam, Doveton and Eumemmerring, before turning south into Dandenong South. There it picks up a major tributary, the Hallam Main Drain (formed by the confluence of River Gum Creek, Troups Creek and Berwick Town Drain), just after crossing the South Gippsland Highway, and continues southwest into Bangholme to pick up its last main tributary, the Eastern Contour Drain, between Dandenong Valley Highway and the EastLink. It then crosses the EastLink to join the Dandenong Creek just north of the Eastern Treatment Plant to form the Patterson River.

Verticordia elizabethiae, named as Elizabeth's featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. An endemic species of Southwest Australia, it occurs near salt lakes as an erect bushy shrub.
Taxonomy
A species of Verticordia, the featherflowers, assigned to a section of the genus Verticordia sect. Verticordella. The type was collected in 2018 at a location reported imprecisely as Baladjie. Previously collected specimens, including one made by Charles Gardner in 1926 and another recognised as Verticordia sp. Koolyanobbing, were assigned by the authors, Barbara Rye and Matthew Barrett, to the new species.
The specific epithet honours the extensive contribution of Elizabeth Anne (Berndt) George, née Sykes (1935-2012) to the collection and research of verticordias. A treatment of the population had previously been published by George as an inland variant of Verticordia halophila.
Description
A low growing salt tolerant shrub between 0.4 and 1.2 metres in width and 0.3 to 0.6 m high. The species lacks evidence of a lignotuber.
Distribution and habitat
Only known at a restricted distribution range within the semi-arid Coolgardie bioregion, in an area near Southern Cross, Western Australia. It occurs on flats around salt lakes amongst other halophytes forming heath communities, species of Maireana, Gunniopsis and Frankenia, associated with Callitris.

Central Coast Football is a governing body and football (soccer) competition located in the Central Coast region of New South Wales. Its administrative headquarters are based at Pluim Park, Lisarow, New South Wales. The association consists of a Premier League, a Division 1 and ten all ages competitions which correspond to tiers six to seventeen on the Australian soccer pyramid. Clubs are based all across the Central Coast.
History
The Central Coast Soccer Association was formed in 1963 with the first year of top-flight competition in 1965. It was later changed to Central Coast Football as the use of the word 'football' replaces 'soccer' in Australia.
In January 2022, CCF announced that the association was disaffiliating with Football Australia and Football NSW. This is due to CCF believing that the FA and FNSW do not value CCF and don't invest in grassroots football on the Central Coast. This has led to CCF being essentially banned from Football Australia and Football NSW competitions.
Teams and structure
Tiers
The Central Coast Premier League sits at the sixth tier of the Australian football league system, Division one sits at the seventh tier, while the ten all age divisions stretch from tiers 8 to 17.
Leagues
Central Coast Football is responsible for overseeing all men's, women's and junior's competitions as well as small sided competitions such as Soccer 5's.
Teams
There are a total of 24 clubs competing across all tiers and divisions.

Siavash Bushehri, known as Siah Khan, was a 2.59-meter-tall Iranian man (the tallest recorded in Asia) with a very large and unusual body. He, who lived in the Zarqan functions of Fars province in the early 20th century in Lepui, also suffers from physical and mental retardation.
Biography
Siah Khan was born in 1913 AD in the village of Lepui, in the Zarghan district of Fars province.
He grew normally until the age of six, but grew rapidly after that. His family migrated to Shiraz due to Siah Khan's poverty and physical problems, and earned money by displaying their large and unusual children in the streets.
At the end of September 1920, he was rented for some time by a person named Khoshorkhan for 6,000 Tomans to be exhibited in Tehran. Dr. Ghorban, the founder of the Shiraz Medical School, found him in 1931 and provided him with financial and medical support. When he was taken to the hospital, Siah Khan was hospitalized for the rest of his life and eventually died of pneumonia and sepsis.
Height Dispute
Siah Khan claimed to be 3.61m which if true would have made him taller than Robert Wadlow but Siah Khan was later measured by his doctors at 2.59m making him the most disputed giant ever and the tallest Persian ever.

Platon Nguyễn Văn Thành (1922-2003), also known as Thành Nga (Thành Russia), Hai Thành, Platon Thành, born as Platon Aleksandrovich Skrzhinsky (Платон Александрович Скржинский), was a Russian soldier who fought for the communist-led Viet Minh during the First Indochina War. He served in Viet Minh's well-known 307th Battalion active in Southern Vietnam.
Platon Thành returned to Hanoi and then the Soviet Union after the 1954 Geneva Accord. He worked at the Vietnamese Department of Radio Moscow and maintained contacts with his Vietnamese friends, with notable figures of North Vietnam and the unified Vietnam. He once visited Vietnam in 1988 together with old comrades of the 307th Battalion. Platon died in Moscow at the age of 80.
Early life
Platon Aleksandrovich Skrzhinsky was born on 28 March 1922 at Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. He descended from nobility ancestor: Platon's father, Aleksandr Stanislavovich Skrzhinsky, was a Polish noble and a graduate of the Historical and Philological Institute of Prince Bezborodko in Nizhyn who had the certification to teach Latin and ancient Greek languages. Platon's mother, Anna Alekseevna Skrzhinskaya, was a Russo-Ukrainian noblewomen, had been living in Paris and attended Sorbonne University. Anna was also a proficient piano player. Aleksandr and Anna named their son "Platon" after a Greek word meant "broad-shouldered". Thanks to family's assistance and influence, Platon managed to read many books and literature works of well-known writers. He also became fluent in Russian, France, German, Polish and Ukrainian languages.
Service in the Red Army and prisoner of war
Platon finished highschool in 1940 at the age of 18 and was drafted into the Red Army. Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in the same year and Platon, as a soldier, took part in the Great Patriotic War against the Nazi. Platon was reported to be wounded several times but chose to keep fighting in the frontline rather than have medical recuperation. He served in the Rostov-on-Don, then in Astrakhan, and was sent to the Donbass to participate in the 1942 Second Battle of Kharkov. The battle ended in disaster for the Soviets and Platon was amongst the prisoners of war. He was imprisoned in Nazi facilities at Czestochowa (Poland). In the prison he was forced to perform menial labour, military truck maintenance, and sometimes a translator due to his multilingual capability. Like many other Soviet POWs, Platon suffered from severe mistreatment and malnourishment, resulted in traumas affected his mental health till the end of his life. During the imprisonment, Platon joined a secret anti-Nazi organization who were associated with the Polish partisan. Amongst the member was an anti-war Nazi military officer. In 1944, as the organization's identity was leaked, the anti-war officer arranged its members, including Platon, to be relocated to another prison facility in Denmark. It is also said that USSR's rapid approach to Polish border contributed to the reason for relocation.
The Nazi Germany was defeated in 1945. Platon and Soviet POWs was allowed to return to their homeland. However, due to Platon's good relationship with a French-speaking German warden, he was suspected as a Germany spy. Moreover, under the influence of alcohol, Platon had a heated argument with a NKVD sergeants about roles and activities of Soviet POWs during the war. Feared of misunderstanding and punishment from the Soviet authorities, Platon fled from the prisoner camp. He first arrived at Hamburg and worked for a German busisnessmen. Dissastified with the employer's attitudes towards the poor people, Platon took part in smmuggling goods out of the warehouse. The employeed soon discovered the affair and sacked him. Platon then moved to Bavaria and worked in a kitchen for U.S. military, he also did not stay long due to conflicts with American personnel whose attitude was considered by Platon as "mockery" and "cynical". He then was employed by a plantation owner in southern France, the job was also short-lived as the employer became insecured about Platon's identity. The French employer nonetheless gave Platon some compensation money and adivised him to join the French Foreign Legion which were recruiting soldiers. Platon accepted the offer to satisfy both his survival needs and his own dream of travelling aboard.
From a French legionnaire to a member of Viet Minh's 307th battalion
As a French legionnaire, Platon and others was sent to southern Vietnam to suppress the resistance war of Viet Minh against French invasion. He first arrived at Saigon, then garrisoned at Vĩnh Long and Bến Tre. Platon was assign the task of the truck drivers and did not directly participate in the punitive military action against Viet Minh. However Platon still witnessed the war crimes and brutality of the French army against Vietnamese people. He also happened to knew that many French legionnaires were actually former SS member with infamous records of war crimes. And then Platon discovered the pictures of communist leaders Lenin, Stalin and Mao Zedong amongst the looted personal belonging of Viet Minh soldiers. He decided to join Viet Minh and assisted their effort against the French invasion. He first secretly smmuggled weapons to the Vietnamese partisans and together with the Vietnameses planned an escape from the French camp. However the plan was exposed due to a traitor and Platon narrowly escaped being convicted as his Vietnamese comrades refuse to reveal Platon's identity to the French authorities. Platon later smmuggled food and rations to the Vietnamese prisoners of war and assisted them in their menial labor, openly told them about his past as a Soviet POW. Platon's kindness to the Vietnameses attracted the attention of a Viet Minh underground agent, and, after several tests of loyalty, the agent helped Platon to escape the French military camp on 17 August 1947.
Platon quickly adapted to his new life as a Viet Minh partisan, under a Vietnamese name: Nguyễn Văn Thành, shortened as Hai Thành or Thành Nga. Platon learned to speak Vietnamese, wore Vietnamese clothes, behaved like a Vietnamese, and get addicted to local Vietnamese cuisine, including the smelly mắm. He actively assisted the Vietnamese in their daily labour. The local Vietnamese had good relationship with Platon, they even gave him more favour and affection due to being sympathized with his unfortunate fate. Being physically strong, Platon usually carried the wounded from the battlefield, and having a Western appearance enabled him to disguised as French officers to lure the French into Vietnamese surprise attacks. After a year Platon's disguse was exposed, he was transferred to Viet Minh's 99th Battalion in Bến Tre, and then joined the famous 307th Battalion, served as a company vice-commander and was entrust with a 60mm mortar, the "blessed" weapon of his unit. He was praised for his bravery and commitment in combat. In 1952 Platon joined the Vietnam Communist Party.
After 1954
After the 1954 Geneva Accord, many Viet Minh cadres and their families, including Platon and his daughter Anna, were relocated to northern half of the country which was under control of the socialist Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV). Fluent in both Vietnamese and Russian, Platon worked as a translator on the Soviet ship Stavropol which was tasked to transported them northwards. He later moved to Thanh Hoá with his old wartime comrades, and after ending military service, lived with Anna in Hanoi. For his military merits, Platon was awarded the Order of Glorious Soldier. In Hanoi, Platon and Anna attended an audience hosted by President Hồ Chí Minh and was invited to the presidential palace as guests. Moved by Platon's contribution during the war, president Hồ wrote a letter to the Soviet Union asked for Platon's rehabilitation. Thanks to president Hồ's personal appeal, together with strong support from the DRV authorities, the Soviet government recognized Platon's citizenship and allowed his repatriation. However, Platon was neither recoginzed as a war veteran nor as a international soldier as Soviet citizen at that time had no requirement for international duties.
Platon and Anna returned to the USSR by train on 10 May 1955, and visited the Red Square in June. They travelled to Berdichev to meet Platon's parents only to find out Anna Alekseevna died long ago and Aleksandr Stanislavovich was murder by the Nazi in 1942. Unemployed and homeless, Platon sent Anna Platonovna to a relative, while himself rented a house in Moskva and worked as a truck driver in the Soviet capital. Thanks to a recommendation of an old friend, Platon was hired by the Vietnamese language Department of the Foreign Radio Broadcasting of Moskva - which was in dire need of Vietnamese speakers - and he worked there for 25 years. He was amongst a very few Russian broadcasters who had a proper Southern Vietnamese accent. Platon personally liked his job as it enabled him to broadcast his anti-war messages and expressed his love for Vietnam and his Vietnamese relatives. He also loved to speak Vietnamese and demanded the Vietnamese guests to talk with him using their mother tongues. He worked as a co-editor of the 1957 Russian - Vietnamese dictionary under the name of P.A. Skrzhinsky. He became a translator after retirement, mostly focused on French literature and some works of Vietnamese writers, and also acted as advisors for Soviet and Russian researchers about Vietnam-related themes. Platon also kept connection with his Vietnamese associates, frequently worked and meet with Vietnamese delegations of government, state, trade union leaders, Writers' Unions, composers, playwrights and artists, and contributed to the works of Soviet/Russia - Vietnam Friendship Association. He and Anna visited Bến Tre, Vietnam during a meeting of the surviving members of 307th Battalion in 1988.
Platon Nguyễn Văn Thành died on 26 March 2003 at Moskva, several days before his 81st birthday.
His funeral was attended by the representative of Vietnam Embassy in Moskva and other Vietnamese associates.
Family
Platon Thành married a French-Vietnamese women named Nguyễn Thị Mai (Collete Mai) in 1948, under the recommendation and arrangement of their Vietnamese associates. They had a daughter, born on 28 August 1949, named Anna Platonovna Skrzhinsky in Russian and Nguyễn Hồng Minh in Vietnamese. She was usually called "Janine" by her family and Platon's friends. Due to wartime circumstance, Collete relocated to Bến Tre city. She remarried a Chinese and had another two children. Collete's remmariage upset both Platon and Collete's mother but Platon respected his wife's decision. Janine lived with Platon after 1954 and she followed in her father's footsteps to work at the Vietnamese Department of Radio Moscow.
