Al Nadhir (Arabic: The Warner) was an Arabic language weekly Islamic magazine which was published in Cairo, Egypt, for one year between 1938 and 1939. It is known for being one of the official organs of the Muslim Brotherhood for which it was banned in October 1939.
History and profile
Al Nadhir was first published on 30 May 1938. The magazine was an organ of the Muslim Brotherhood and was launched following the closure of other Brotherhood publication, the weekly newspaper Majallat al Ikhwan al Muslimin. The license holder was Mahmoud Abu Zeid who was a member of the Brotherhood until 1939 when he left it to form another Islamic group called the Society of Mohammad's Youth. The editor-in-chief of Al Nadhir which was published on a weekly basis was Salih Ashmawi.
The contributors included Hasan Al Banna and his brother-in-law Abdel Hakim Abdeen. In the first issue of Al Nadhir Al Banna declared in his article entitled the Second Step that the focus of the Brotherhood had shifted from the religious, cultural and educational activities to the political activities and that they would not only talk from now on, but they would both talk and struggle and carry out practical acts. The magazine frequently featured articles on the Palestine cause reflecting the views of the Muslim Brotherhood. It also covered anti-Semitic editorials and content written by Mahmoud Saleh.
On 16 October 1939 Al Nadhir was banned by the Egyptian government due to its close connections with the Muslim Brotherhood. Before its closure the relationships between Salih Ashmawi and the Brotherhood leader Hasan Al Banna became strained, and Ashmawi's Brotherhood membership was denied which led to the end of Al Nadhir's function as being the mouthpiece of the group.
Spin offs
A publication with the same name was published by the Syrian sector of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1970s and 1980s.

Project 315 – Citizens for Truth is a volunteer-based project in Israel whose main purpose is to investigate the nature and content of 315 news publications stated in the indictment of the case-4000 trial. The publications are stated in relation to Benjamin Netanyahu (former Israeli prime-minister) who is accused of receiving 'unusual responsiveness' during the runup to their publication at the Israeli news portal Walla!.
The 'unusual responsiveness' related to the 315 online publications is claimed to constitute a bribe by Israeli state prosecutors in the case. The project's main aim is to investigate the truthfulness and validity of the prosecutors' claims related to the publications.
The project was initiated by Israeli entrepreneur and social activist Guy Levy.
Background
The original indictment in the case (given the number 4000) was presented to the district court of Jerusalem on 28 January 2020, and included the charges of "bribery, fraud and breach of trust". However, on December 14'th of the same year the court requested the prosecution to correct the indictment due to essential flaws. In total the state attorney was requested to correct 50 clauses. In relation to the bribe clause, the state attorney was requested to add an addendum detailing all the press events related to the claim that Benjamin Netanyahu requested more favorable coverage from the online Walla! news portal (the original bribe was defined as ‘positive press coverage’).
In the corrected indictment of case-4000, the bribery clause was modified to describe 'unusual responsiveness' as the bribe instead of positive press coverage, and the addendum added by the state attorney included 315 cases which were claimed to constitute the bribe.
Project origins
Guy Levy, a publicist and social activist, read the indictment's addendum after its public release. During the examination it came to his attention that case num. 11 in the addendum described a request to cover a Israeli Forbes article nominating Sarah Netanyahu (wife of Benjamin Netanyahu) as the most powerful woman in Israel. Levy recalled that the Forbes article was also covered by Channel 2 and that the story's coverage by Walla was not unusual. It was later revealed that the content at Walla was hostile in nature, that the story was covered by at least 17 press outlets, and that Walla had been covering the Forbes annual ‘most powerful woman’ nomination for a number of years. This led to the conclusion that case num. 11 (out of 315) wasn't scrutinized by the state attorney's office, which led to examination of additional cases.
Guy Levy joined forces with Moshik Kovarsky, Dr. Adi Szabo, Moshe Mallal and dozens of volunteers in order to thoroughly scrutinize all 315 cases included in the indictment addendum. The project's team managed to uncover cases where the state attorney claimed that requests to retract publications had been accepted, where in reality the publications remained online indefinitely. In other cases where the state attorney claimed that story coverage requests were accepted, it was revealed that the stories weren't covered at all by Walla. In other cases, claims that editing requests were fulfilled by the site, turned out to not have occurred. In one case, it was even revealed that a presumed demand to retract a publication was not related to Benjamin Netanyahu, but to the Israeli former politician Silvan Shalom.
Other publication requests that were accepted appeared in dozens of other news outlets simultaneously, and were mainly regular spokesman announcements.
Project Activity
Video media
The project's members filmed 30 video clips where each video describes a case or a number of cases out of the 315 indictment cases, and their refutation. Additionally, other subjects are discussed in the clips such as the phenomenon of demands for positive coverage at Walla by other politicians, and other issues related to the press-dubbed ‘thousands cases’.
Case 4000
The project's members transferred their findings to the defense team of the case-4000 trial, and to a media company which confirmed the findings. Some of the findings were used during cross examinations of prosecution witnesses, and the complete project file was submitted to the trial's judges.
Findings
The findings proved that the state prosecution team did not examine the vast majority of 315 cases added to the indictment. The cases were claimed to constitute a bribe due to ‘unusual responsiveness’ related to their publication:
In 136 cases it was claimed that publication requests by Netanyahu were accepted, where in reality no such publications occurred.
In 155 cases it was claimed that the responsiveness of the Walla site to Netanyahu's requests were ‘unusual’. However it was proved that such requests were routinely accepted by many other press outlets, or that they had already already been covered by the press in the past.
In 13 cases Benjamin Netanyahu was not involved, despite opposite claims in the indictment.
In 5 cases, the number of details was insufficient in order to establish whether responsiveness existed and whether it was ‘unusual’.
In 6 cases, requests sent by Netanyahu were accepted exclusively by Walla.

The Flute Concerto in B minor was composed by musicologist and composer François-Joseph Fétis in 1869, when he was 85 years of age and two years before his death. The concerto was written specifically for the Böhm flute, analogous to the standard concert-styled flute found in contemporary Western orchestras. The work features a highly florid flute section, a rather uncommon phenomenon at the time as the flute was both a new instrument in France and seen as more so a background instrument in late-19th century orchestration. Thus, the fact that it plays a leading role makes this concerto a rarity and one of the early examples of the flute gaining a serious presence as a solo instrument.
The concerto originally featured an extended cadenza included with movement three, although no such documentation survives in the present.
Form
The concerto utilizes the typical structure for a concerto, consisting of three movements which features a lively beginning, a slower middle section, before returning to the first movement's tempo.

Antun Giuriceo (9 May 1778 – 25 March 1842) was a Croatian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Dubrovnik from 1830 to 1842 and the apostolic administrator of Trebinje-Mrkan from 1839 to 1842. He is best known for renewing the public festivity of Saint Blaise, the patron of Dubrovnik in 1836.
Biography
Giuriceo was born in Krk. After finishing studies, he was ordained a priest in Trieste on 18 October 1801. Afterward, he lectured philosophy and served as a perfect at the episcopal seminary. From 1819 to 1827, Giuriceo lectured theology and served as a house chaplain and a secretary to the archbishop of Gorizia. From 1827 to 1830, he was an advisor for religious matters to the regional Dalmatian government.
Giuriceo was selected to become the bishop of Dubrovnik on 1 November 1829. Pope Pius VIII confirmed his appointment on 5 July 1830. He was consecrated at the cathedral in Gorizia on 21 November 1830 by the archbishop of Gorizia Joseph Walland. He was installed in Dubrovnik in 1831. Thus, he became the first bishop of Dubrovnik, after the archdiocese was relegated to the status of a diocese and ceased to be a metropolitan seat in 1828. Giuriceo had the task of establishing the church administration after a long period of sede vacante and adjusting the church's life to the new post-republican era.
Giuriceo resided in the Pile neighbourhood of Dubrovnik. He negotiated the transfer of the episcopal seat to the Sorkočević Palace, which at the time served as the municipal court. He is best known for renewing the public festivity of Saint Blaise, the patron of Dubrovnik in 1836, together with poet Antun Kazančić. The public celebrations were forbidden by the French and Austrian authorities.
Giuriceo also met with the Jesuits the first the order was re-established on 27 February 1841. Vincenzo Basile and his two associates met the bishop, who asked them to stay in Dubrovnik for pastoral work. However, the Jesuits couldn't stay in Dubrovnik and left the city on 24 March 1841. Giuriceo decided to invite the Jesuits to Dubrovnik, however, he died soon after.
On 30 September 1839, Pope Gregory XVI gave the apostolic administration over the Diocese of Treibnje Mrkan, located in the Ottoman Empire, to the bishops of Dubrovnik. On 20 June 1840, Giuriceo appointed Vidoje Maslać, a parish priest of Dubrave near Neum, his special vicar for Trebinje-Mrkan. He was unable to make an official visitation to the diocese.
He died at his residence in Pile, Dubrovnik and is buried in the crypt of the Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius.

She married at on 17 January 1619 to Count William of Nassau-Siegen (Dillenburg, 13 August 1592 – Orsoy, 7/17 July 1642), the fifth son of Count John VII ‘the Middle’ of Nassau-Siegen and his first wife, Countess Magdalene of Waldeck-Wildungen. Christiane’s older half-brother from her mother’s side, Count Christian of Waldeck-Wildungen, was married in November 1604 to Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, William’s eldest sister.
After the end of the Twelve Years’ Truce in 1621, William entered the service of the Dutch States Army, where he was appointed colonel of the infantry on 24 July 1622. On 13/23 January 1624, Count John VIII ‘the Younger’ of Nassau-Siegen voluntarily ceded the sovereignty over the Hilchenbach district with and some villages belonging to the and Netphen districts, to his younger brother William. Henceforth the county of Nassau-Siegen had two governments, one in Siegen, the other in Hilchenbach. Christiane and William lived in Siegen until 1625. In 1625 William became governor of Emmerich and from 1626 to 1637 he was governor of Heusden. In April 1633 he was appointed field marshal as successor of his uncle Count Ernest Casimir of Nassau-Diez. In 1637 William became governor of Sluis. On 17 June 1638 he suffered a considerable loss of 2,000 men, including his son Maurice Frederick, in the Battle of Calloo. William died at Orsoy on 7/17 July 1642 and was buried at Heusden on 24 July 1642. He left his part of the county of Nassau-Siegen to his half-brother John Maurice. As field marshal of the Dutch States Army, he was succeeded by his brother-in-law .
Count William Frederick of Nassau-Diez, the stadtholder of Friesland, noted in June 1645 in his diary that Christiane’s youngest daughter, sixteen-year-old Wilhelmine Christine, was the favourite girlfriend of Prince William II of Orange, ‘die hij zoo dicwils custe als hij woude, alleen sijnde, en de borstjes tastede’. William II had to promise Wilhelmine Christine ‘sich deechlijck te hauden’, but the consequence of this intimacy was that Christiane did not want her daughter to be alone with Prince William, ‘doch dat sie het allebeide sochten’. When Christiane came in ‘maeckte prins Wilhelm den slaepert’.
Christiane died in Culemborg on 6 July 1646. She was buried in Heusden.

Nicholas Lamar Soutter is an American writer and philosopher. His 2012 novel, The Water Thief, is about a future in which "corporations own everything, even the air we breathe." The novel won a Kirkus Star from Kirkus Reviews.
Biography
Early years and education
Soutter was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He started writing novels when he was in high school. Despite his interest in fiction writing during his high school career, he devoted much of his attention to science courses (physics and computer science) and language studies. He also took college courses while he was in high school, including classes in astrophysics, computer science, and several languages.
At Clark University, Soutter completed Bachelor's degrees in philosophy and psychology. He also qualified with a teaching certificate. He wrote one novel during his college years.
Writing career
After finishing his college studies, Soutter attempted to publish two of his works, Killdroid Rising and Inside the Mirror, but did not find any takers among publishing houses.
Eventually, the Donald Maass Literary Agency considered one of his works, but they determined that Soutter's work would face challenges with marketing, so they did not publish it. Soutter subsequently read Ayn Rand's libertarian-themed novel Atlas Shrugged, which he found to be "quite flawed." Soutter decided to rebut Rand's arguments from Atlas Shrugged by writing a novel, The Water Thief (2012), which is about a future in which "corporations own everything, even the air we breathe."
In 2012 The Water Thief won a Kirkus Star from Kirkus Reviews. Kirkus Reviews called his work “[p]rofound...[and] sure to spark a reaction" and said he was "scathing, [and] ceaselessly engaging.” In 2013, the host of Blog Talk Radio, Susan Wingate, called the work a "thought-provoking novel." The 2016 edition of SFX (#277, September) calls The Water Thief an example of mundane science fiction, making the specific claim that the novel should be categorized as "Mundane SF future-history." Martha Sorren of Truthout states that Soutter "does an excellent job of building of this dystopian world and expertly connecting it to the flaws of our society today, making it easy for the reader to believe our government could morph into this corporate conglomerate if we aren’t careful."
His other works include "The Humanist Codex" and "Confessions of a Sin Eater."
In addition to his fiction work, Soutter writes Essays on Politics and the Social Sciences and has authored a book about writing and publishing, The Business and Craft of Writing. He also works as an instructor at a workshop for fiction authors.
Personal life
Soutter lives near Boston, and has a wife and two daughters. His grandfather is Lamar Soutter MD (March 9, 1909 – 1996), an American academic.

"It's Just a Little Bit Too Late" is a song written by Clint Ballard Jr. and Les Ledo, which was originally recorded by Clyde McPhatter in 1963. A British beat group named the Druids would release their version in 1964 before the definitive version by Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders was recorded and released as a single in 1965. Their version was the second of three songs by Clint Ballard Jr. that the group recorded together with "The Game of Love" and "She Needs Love". Their rendition of the song reached number 20 in the UK's Record Retailer but failed to emulate the success of their previous single "The Game of Love", only reaching number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Background
Clint Ballard Jr. wrote the song together with Les Ledo, an American songwriter who previously had written the chart hit "Cotton Candy" for Al Hirt under the pseudonym Russ Damon; it brought him success as a songwriter, with it reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Clint Ballard Jr. had on the hand enjoyed success as a songwriter since the late 1950s, writing several top-ten hits for various acts, including Frankie Avalon's "Ginger Bread" in 1958 which reached number nine in the charts that year. He had also enjoyed success with "The Game of Love", a song he gave to Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders to record; it topped the American chart and reached number two in the UK. Being two established songwriters, the pair decided to sit down and write, with the result becoming "It's Just a Little Bit Too Late". It was one of only two songs they wrote together, the other being "How Long Is So Long" in 1965.
The suspected first version of the song was recorded by the Drifters frontman Clyde McPhatter in the year 1963. McPhatter's version features prominent claves in the backing which also largely consists of a female backing along with a brass quartet. However, it i unclear whether or not his version actually got released as there is no information available. It would tie in with the year Ballard Jr. and Ledo copyrighted the song in 1963. The first released version of the song were from a British merseybeat band named the Druids, who featured Gearie Kenworthy of the Knack. Their version was released as their final and second single on 8 May 1964 through Parlophone Records.
Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders version
Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders had by this point become acquainted with Clint Ballard Jr. as a songwriter, having previously recorded his song "The Game of Love" in 1964. When released as a single the following year, it reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Record Retailer chart during the spring of 1965. This led to a tour of the United Kingdom on which they most likely picked up the song while performing together with the Hollies, who had had a number one hit with the Clint Ballard Jr. composition "I'm Alive" that year. Nonetheless, they liked the song well enough to record it, which they did at Philips Studio in London with Fontana Records head producer Jack Baverstock. It was eventually released as a single on 4 June 1965 with "Long Time Comin'" as its B-side.
"It's Just a Little Bit Too Late" entered the UK singles chart on 23 June 1965 at a position of 47 before peaking at number 20 on 14 July. It soon thereafter exited the chart on 4 August at a position of 50 after spending only seven weeks on the chart. In the US, the single entered the charts on 12 June at a position of number 88, before peaking at 45 on 24 July. It dropped from the charts on the following week with a position of number 59, after spending eight weeks on it. In Cash Box magazine it reached number 52. Internationally, it was also commercially successful, though not on the level of "The Game of Love". In Canada's RPM magazine, it reached number nine, while it reached number 55 on the Australian charts.
Upon release, it received primarily positive reviews. In Billboard magazine, it is considered a "No. 1 rhythm contender", noting the previous collaboration with Clint Ballard Jr. In Cash Box it is referred to as "a bright, funky-styled ditty" while simultaneously noting the lyrics of the song. In Music Business magazine it was considered a pick of the week while Record World describes it as "fast-moving follow-up item". Both sides of the single were featured on the group's second studio album Eric, Rick, Wayne And Bob — It's Wayne Fontana And The Mindbenders which was released in October 1965.

Geoffrey of Lusignan (before 1150 – May 1216) was the Lord of Vouvant and Soubise, and Count of Jaffa and Ascalon. He was also Lord of Mervent and Moncontour by his wife's rights.
Early life
Geoffrey belonged to the House of Lusignan. His father was Hugh VIII of Lusignan and his mother was Bourgogne de Rancon, Lady of Vouvant and Civray. He was the elder brother of Aimery of Cyprus and Guy of Lusignan.
Like all members of his family, Geoffrey was an enemy of the House of Plantagenet. This enmity resulted from the Lusignan claim to the County of La Marche, which was held by the Norman Montgommery family with the recognition of the Plantagenets.
In 1168, the Lusignans revolted against King Henry II of England and killed his confidante Patrick, 1st Earl of Salisbury. In 1173, Geoffrey supported Duke Richard I in the revolt against his father. When Count Aldebert IV sold the County of La Marche directly to King Henry II in 1177, It was Geoffrey, the head of the family, who once again took up arms to fight for the rights of the Lusignans. In 1183, he allied himself with Henry the Young King, Viscount Aimar V of Limoges and his cousin Gottfried II of Rancon against Duke Richard. However, the struggle ended with the unexpected death of the young king in June 1183, after which Geoffrey had to submit to Duke Richard.
Third Crusade
Geoffrey was obliged to take the Cross as penance for his rebellious behavior, after which he went to the Holy Land, where he appeared for the first time in 1188. His brother, Guy of Lusignan, had meanwhile risen to become King of Jerusalem, an almost unheard-of career leap which, according to the Chronicle of Ernoul, Geoffrey mockingly commented: "Next, he wants to become God!".
By the time, Geoffrey arrived in Holy Land, however, the Crusader kingdom had already been crushed by Sultan Saladin at the Battle of Hattin (1187) and King Guy was besieging Acre, in which Guy also took part and on October 4, 1189, stood out as the defender of the camp against an attack by Saladin. In June 1191, in front of Acre, Geoffrey publicly insulted and challenged Conrad of Montferrat during the general parliament meeting to settle the conflict between him and his brother Guy. After capturing the city, he was enfeoffed on 28 July 1191 with the county of Jaffa, then still occupied by Saladin and only reconquered until 1192 in the further course of the Third Crusade, ironically by Richard I, who was by then the Lusignans' most important ally in the Holy Land. However, he was a famous crusader associated with using the Dane axe during battles.
In 1193, Geoffrey resigned his titles and returned to Moncontour, his brother Aimery took over his estate.
Return to France
Returning home, Geoffrey immediately resumed his hostility to the Plantagenets and supported King Philip II of France in the fight against King John. He moved in 1202 together with Prince Arthur of Brittany and his nephew Hugo IX against the castle of Mirebeau, on which the Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine was seated. At dawn on July 31, 1202, the besiegers were surprised by a relief attack by King John, who wanted to save his mother. According to tradition, Geoffrey did not take the news of King John's approach very seriously because he underestimated his abilities as a knight; so he preferred to eat his breakfast. Together with his nephew and Prince Arthur, Geoffrey was taken prisoner by King John. Fortunately for Geoffrey, the king did not take advantage of this success and soon released the Lusignans in the hope of winning them over. But they immediately took up the fight against him again, especially after Prince Arthur was murdered in 1203.
In 1215, Geoffroy I donated property to the Fontevraud Abbey for “the salvation of [his] soul”. The following year, his death was recorded in 1216 according to Bernard Itier's chronicle.
Marriage and descendants
Geoffroy married twice. In his first marriage, he was married to Humberge, a daughter of Viscount Aimar V of Limoges. They had a son named Hugo, who was only mentioned once in a donation to L'Absie Abbey in 1200, and who probably died young.
Geoffrey's second wife was Eustachie Chabot, whom he married before May 4, 1200. With her he had three sons:
Geoffrey II, Lord of Vouvant, Mervent, Moncontour, Fontenay and Viscount of Châtellerault by marriage with Clémence de Châtellerault
Guillaume married around 1226 Marquise de Mauléon, daughter of Savari de Mauléon, with whom he had:
Guillaume, killed along with his father in a battle at Mareuil-sur-Lay during a conflict with Peter I, Duke of Brittany
Valence, wife Hugues II Larchevêque, Lord of Parthenay
Aeline, married Barthélemy de la Haye
Aimery, taken prisoner at a battle at Mareuil-sur-Lay in 1230 with his older brother Geoffroy II, then released shortly afterwards. He married Olive, daughter of Aalais of Piougier

Adriaan Geerts Wildervanck (4 September 1605 – 24 November 1661) was a Dutch businessman and coloniser. In 1643, he lost most of his money when De Oevelgunne stranded on the Boschplaat with expensive lace. In 1647, he founded the Muntendammer Company to exploit a peat colony. As part of the colony, the villages of Wildervank (1647) and Veendam (1648) were established.
Biography
Adriaan Geerts was born on 4 September 1605 in Groningen, Netherlands. He had been active in Groningen as an accountant, and tenant of the council and winery of Groningen.
In 1643, the ship De Oevelgunne was on route from England to Hamburg with expensive lace, but stranded on the Boschplaat in the Wadden Sea. The salvagers wanted their customary 1/3 share of the merchandise, however Geerts refused, because the ship had not been abandoned. A lengthy trial followed which attracted the attention of both the British government and the States General of the Netherlands. In 1645, Geerts lost on appeal, and was ordered to pay the salvagers and a large fine.
Geerts moved to Oude Pekela to study the exploitation of peat by the city of Groningen. The Wildervankster bog was a raised bog which was still untouched. On 6 June 1647, he established the Muntendammer Company to exploit the bog. The exploration was very costly, and Geerts needed to take out a mortgage of ƒ250,000 from an Amsterdam merchant. In 1647, the village of Wildervank was founded, and Geerts would start to use the surname Wildervanck. In 1648, the village of Veendam was established.
The Muntendammer Company was a moderately successful company. About twelve years later, Wildervanck tried to expand his operation into neighbouring Drenthe, but was taken prisoner by angry peasants and briefly imprisoned in the tower of Rolde. The heavy mortgage payments forced Wildervanck to sell large parts of the colony. In 1659, construction started of a church in Wildervank which was named Margaretha Hardenberg Church after his wife.
Wildervanck died on 24 November 1661 in Wildervank, at the age of 56, and was buried in the Margaretha Hardenberg Church.
Legacy
In 1897, a monument dedicated to Wildervanck was revealed in Wildervank in front of the town hall as the founder of the village.
In 1965, the canal between Wildervank and Zuidbroek was named .
In 1997, a bust by Bert Kiewiet was revealed in Wildervank.

The spillover of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine is a series of military engagements and events during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine that have occurred outside of the territory of Ukraine. Spillovers have occurred in Russia itself, Belarus, and allegedly Transnistria. Spillovers have occurred both militarily in the form of military engagements and non-militarily through protests. Outside of pro-Ukrainian foreign volunteers, the spillover has played an overall small role in the conflict.
Military spillovers
Belarusian-based attacks
On 24 February 2022, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko stated that Belarusian forces could be used in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine if they were by Russia. Later that day, the Russian Armed Forces used Belarusian territory to launch attacks into northern Ukraine and begin the Battle of Chernobyl and the Kyiv offensive.
Millerovo air base attack
On 25 February 2022, Ukraine attacked the Millerovo air base, which was in Russian territory and outside Ukraine's national borders. The attack was inconclusive and both sides claimed victory.
Non-military spillovers
Protests in Russia
With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Russian opposition and anti-war movement rose up in protests across the country. Russia responded by arresting protesters, causing the United Nations to support the protesters and condemn Russia's actions.
Alleged spillovers
Transnistria
It has been alleged that the breakaway state of Transnistria has been involved in the conflict by Moldova.

Henry Lee Atherton (June 12, 1815 – October 23, 1896) was a 19th-century American businessman and diplomat. He was responsible for a number of residential developments in vicinity of the Hudson River and Manhattan.
Early life
Atherton was born into a maritime trading family from Castine, Maine. His father, Colonel Abel Willard Atherton (1777–1821) was a born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and served under General James Irish III. His mother was Margaret Weeks (1786–1869), the daughter of Lemuel Weeks, a wholesale merchant and importer from Portland, Maine.
Career
Intent on making his fortune, he left Maine for New York (state), where he specialized in the import of silk and dry goods along the Hudson River, setting up a location at 48 Broad Street, New York City, prior to 1847. He became a wealthy merchant, changing his location to Reade St, prior to 1861. His business interests eventually diversified away from trading in merchandise, and into printing, and fire and life insurance, along with a number of realty projects in New York City from the 1850s onwards. He was a large shareholder of the Yonkers and New York Fire Insurance Company. Records from 1863 to 1865 illustrate that Atherton held 10% of the capital stock in this company. He also held 10% capital stock in the Widows and Orphans Benefit Life Insurance Company.
He was a founding member of a syndicate of wealthy gentlemen, including Samuel D. Babcock, William W. Woodworth, Charles W. Foster, and William D. Cromwell, who purchased 100-acres of land in 1852 in the Hudson valley, which thereafter became Riverdale Park. Atherton and this wealthy syndicate had been inspired by the recently deceased landscape architect, Andrew Jackson Downing, and set about planing a suburban residential development in Hudson Hill, as a utopia in the style and tradition of Llewellyn Park in New Jersey. Atherton and his syndicate designated a large area of land that descended in the direction of the Hudson River as a green area, free from future development. Intent on having a fine Riverdale estate, Atherton appointed the architect, Thomas S. Wall to design his new residence. A Gothic Revival style home built to Atherton's specifications, which later included with some Colonial Revival modifications after his death. His neighbors included his business partners, Samuel D. Babcock, William W. Woodworth and Charles W. Foster. He was subsequently joined in 1856 by Henry Foster Spaulding, followed by the financier and politician, Levi P. Morton.
In 1853 he applied with for land grants at the time underwater adjacent to the Hudson Valley Railroad. This involved land reclamation. This area of Yonkers, New York was incorporated during the 1860s, and includes Atherton Street, named in his honor.
Leading up to the death of his wife in 1869, Atherton retired as a New York merchant. According to the 1870 census the value of his real estate was $75,000; and his personal wealth was in excess of $50,000.
Although Atherton retired from private enterprise as a merchant and importer, he continued as an investor for the next ten years, holding stock in numerous companies. In the 1870s, he entered into partnership with E. Brooks, forming the stationary and printing company, Atherton & Brooks; an enterprise that his son assumed daily management and oversight. This company was responsible for inventing a method of binding newspapers and music sheets.
At the age of sixty-five, he entered into public service as a diplomat, replacing Andrew Cone as consul of the United States in Pernambuco, Brazil from 1880.
His diplomatic posting to Pernambuco was his only overseas appointment for the United States Government. Brazil–United States relations had been established in 1815 and the United States were the first country to open a consulate in Recife, Pernambuco. Records show that he had been on the US Treasury payroll from the 1870s. His consular report relating to an alleged Brazilian cancer cure was dispatched to Washington, D.C. during 1884, and was presented to the United States Congress the following year. He is likely to have remained in this diplomatic role for nearly 9 years. His consular reports continued to 1887.
Legacy
Atherton and William D. Cromwell had initially conceived the Riverdale development as a summer retreat from Manhattan. However, it is now contemporarily recognized as the earliest known suburban railroad development in New York City.
The H.L. Atherton residence forms part of an extremely rare collection of lithographs from 1860, within the New York Public Library.
In 1990, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to create the Riverdale Historic District, bound roughly by 252nd and 254th Streets and Palisade and Independence Avenues. As of 2022, the Henry L. Atherton Villa, located at West 252 Street is the private residence of renowned poet and art collector, Stanley Moss.
Atherton St, Yonkers is named in his honor.
Personal
Atherton married Almira Stuart Woodworth (1815-1869), from Hudson, New York, the daughter of William Gershom Woodworth (1776-1855) and
Clarissa Heath on December 1, 1836.
Atherton was father to at least one son and three daughters. His wife, Almira died after a long illness on October 21, 1869, in New York City at the age of 54.
His son Henry L Atherton Jnr was proprietor of Atherton & Coles of New York, a law printers and stationers.
In 1867, his daughter Constance, married George Henry Forster. His new son-in-law was an attorney and a partner in the law firm, Weeks, DeForest & Forster.
His grandson was Henry Atherton Forster (1868-1932), a lawyer and historian from New York City.
Atherton died in Los Angeles, California on October 23, 1896, and is buried at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery; at the time a private cemetery in Redlands, California. His entire estate remained in dispute for almost thirteen years, and his will was proven at the Surrogate's Courthouse in New York City, on February 9, 1909, with Henry Atherton Forster as the primary beneficiary.
Ancestry
Atherton was a New England descendant of Puritan heritage, whose ancestors had settled in Massachusetts Colony. He a direct descendant of James Atherton, one of the First Settlers of New England; who arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts in the 1630s. His great-grandfather was Colonel Peter Atherton. His relatives include Joshua Atherton, Charles Humphrey Atherton, Henry B. Atherton, Thomas H. Atherton, Charles G. Atherton, Cornelius Atherton, Joseph Ballard Atherton, and Uriah A. Boyden.

Silver Lining is an album by the American musician Nils Lofgren, released in 1991.
The album peaked at No. 153 on the Billboard 200. "Valentine", featuring harmony vocals by Bruce Springsteen, was the album's first single.
Production
The album was produced by Kevin McCormick and Lofgren. It was recorded at Ocean Way Studios, in Los Angeles. Lofgren chose to add elements of soul and blues to his rock sound. Ringo Starr played drums on "Walkin' Nerve". Billy Preston and Clarence Clemons also contributed to Silver Lining.
Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly wrote: "A few tracks are little more than well-worn white R&B riffs with throwaway lyrics. But after years of second-banana status and flop albums that would demoralize the best of us, Lofgren displays a feisty exuberance on Silver Lining that's close to inspirational." The Windsor Star thought that "each cut here is a carefully thought-out rock statement, marvellously melodic, and exciting."
The Ottawa Citizen determined that the album "has a strong blues influence interwoven with Lofgren's biting, melodic rock ... Graceful passages give way to hard-edged guitar, often within the same song." The Chicago Tribune deemed it "another characteristically smooth yet energetic set of solid rock."
AllMusic wrote that "although Lofgren is a rocker first and foremost, he is hardly oblivious to soul music and the blues."

Two years after the death of Lionel Tertis, Danks was asked by Lionel Tertis's widow, Lillian Tertis to form a committee to organize a competition and festival in Tertis's memory. The Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition has taken place every three years at the Port Erin Arts Centre on the Isle of Man since its inception in 1980. Harry Danks sat on the judging panel of the competition in 1980, 1988 and 1991.
Danks played on a viola made by Amati of Cremona in 1615, known as the 'Stauffer'. He also played on a 1750 Eberle viola d’Amore once owned by Louis van Waefelghem.
Harry Danks died on the 26th of April 2001. After his death, his daughter Ysobel gave to the violist John White (a pupil of Danks), a large collection of music which had belonged to Lionel Tertis. In a piano score of the Walton Viola Concerto is an inscription : 'To Harry Danks, a most sincere player of the viola to whom I wish all success. Lionel Tertis March 1, 1937'.

Karl Haist (born 22 April 1938 in Munich) is a sailor from Germany, together with Martin Zeileis (midperson) and Patrick Wichmann (foredeck), Haist won, as helmsman, second place during the 2012 European Soling Championship. With this team he became the Best Europeans in this series. Furthermore, Haist won the Soling World Trophy in 2011
Sailing career
Karl Haist has a long and impressive sailing career as helmsman since the mid 50's of the 20th century in the Flying Dutchman and Soling. He is specialized in regatta's on lakes and in light air conditions. Karl holds several national Soling titles in Austria, Germany and Hungary and celebrated many victories in European regatta's like the Omega Cup (GER), Erich Hirt Pokal (GER), Alpen Cup and the Trofeo Dino Schiesaro (ITA). Haist is Ehrenmitglied of the Bayerischer Yacht-Club and life member of the International Soling Association.
Sailing management
From 1983 till 1986 Karl was President of the International Soling Association. Karl Haist had two major objectives for his presidency: First he wanted a large Soling event in Eastern Europe. He succeeded in this by having the 1985 Soling European Championship held in Balatonfüred, Hungary and the 1986 Europeans in Warnemünde, East Germany. The second objective, bringing the operational cost of the Soling down by reducing the number of sails during a championship, took more time. This rule was effectuated in March 1989. This rule change reduced the number of mainsails from 2 to 1 and the number of large spinnakers also back from 2 to 1.
Professional career
Haist is retired as Diplom-Ingenieur in the Munich area.

The 2022 Racing Louisville FC season is the club's second season of play. Racing Louisville competes in the National Women's Soccer League, the top flight of professional women's soccer in the United States.
Background
In its inaugural season, Racing Louisville built a squad from the 2020 NWSL Expansion Draft, the 2021 NWSL Draft, a series of free agent signings, and international transfers after the opening of the season under first head coach Christy Holly. After two losses and two draws to open the campaign in the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup, Racing Louisville experienced an up-and-down 2021 NWSL season which saw the club finish 9th in the 10-team league and miss the playoffs. The club's greatest success in the first year was as host of the inaugural International Women's Cup, a 4-team mid-season competition won by Racing Louisville with a defeat of FC Bayern Munich on penalties.
In the middle of the season, the club parted ways with Holly and installed Mario Sanchez as interim head coach. After the season concluded, Kim Björkegren was installed as the second permanent head coach of Racing Louisville.
Lynn Family Stadium, Racing Louisville's home ground, was selected to host the 2021 NWSL Championship, won by Washington Spirit.
Current squad
Several players departed from Racing Louisville's 2021 squad after the season ended. Aside from free transfers, Savannah McCaskill was traded to Angel City FC, Julia Ashley was sent to Houston Dash, Yuki Nagasato was traded back to Chicago Red Stars, and Kaleigh Riehl was selected by San Diego Wave FC in the 2022 NWSL Expansion Draft. Racing Louisville's rights to Christen Press were traded to Angel City FC for expansion draft protection.
Racing Louisville reloaded primarily through the 2022 NWSL Draft, bringing Jaelin Howell, Savannah Demelo, and Jordyn Bloomer into the squad. Jess McDonald was acquired through a trade with North Carolina Courage. 2021 draftee Kirsten Davis and free agent Hillary Beall were signed to pro contracts.

Death in White Pyjamas is a 1944 detective novel by the British writer John Bude. It is a stand-alone novel and does not feature his regular character Superintendent Meredith. Although written during the Second World War, no reference is made to the ongoing conflict. Originally published by Cassell, in 2020 it was reissued by the British Library Publishing in a single edition with another Bude novel Death Knows No Calendar, as part of a series of republished crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.
Synopsis
The leading actors of the Beaumont Theatre gather at the Sussex country estate of their financial backer, Sam Richardson, a biscuit millionaire for some relaxation before they begin Rehearsals for the new theatrical season. The guests include the womanising but successful impresario Basil Barnes, the attractive but malicious set designer Deidre Lehaye, drunken character actor Willy Farnham, ingénue Angela Walsh and the nephew of one of the actresses, Rudolph Millar, an aspiring playwright who hopes to have his work produced by the company.
Things take a downward turn when some money is discovered to be missing. Theft is followed by blackmail and attempted seduction. Events come to a head when the corpse of Lehaye is found one night in the lake wearing white silk pyjamas. Inspector Harting of the local police takes over the investigation and discovers that several of her associates had both the motive and the opportunity to murder the scheming Lehaye.

Charlotte Hunter Arley (April 2, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was a lawyer who participated in the Petticoats Trial, which was the first trial in Reno, Nevada where two female advocates faced off against each other.
Personal life
Arley was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Ukrainian Jewish parents, who had emigrated to the United States in 1910. Her parents, Morris and Charlotte Hunter, had four children: three daughters and one son. Arley was an avid traveler who worked in the Yosemite National Park gift shop in the mid-1930s. She got married in Hawaii, where she was one of the last people to leave the island before the commencement of World War II. Her marriage would end in divorce. She later moved to Reno, Nevada to follow her father. In Reno, she met and married Jacques Arley, a former member of the French Resistance. They lived in Portland, Oregon for fifteen years, but she moved back to Reno after Jacques died.
Legal Practice
She graduated high school early, and at sixteen, Arley enrolled in Northeastern University School of Law, but she was too young to take the Bar when she graduated in 1932. She volunteered in a legal clinic, and worked three other jobs, until she was old enough to take and pass the Massachusetts Bar in 1935. After passing the Bar, she worked in the legal department at the Federal Land Bank, where she was the only female lawyer. After moving to Reno, she was admitted to the Nevada Bar in 1947. Only two other women passed the bar that year, and only two other women were practicing in Reno at the time. She was a plaintiff's attorney, who litigated divorce, personal injury, and criminal cases. She appealed several cases to the Nevada Supreme Court and secured several victories. In 1949, she represented Reno at the International Federation of Women Lawyers in Rome, Italy.
In 1952, she began to represent a client in a matter that would become known as the Petticoats Trial. The press selected the name of a woman's garment because it was the first trial in Washoe County with opposing female advocates. The defendant was represented by Nada Novokovich, another female lawyer. It was also the first jury trial for both Arley and Novokovich. Arley's client alleged that he was pushed off of a bar stool and brought a lawsuit in state court. Arley won the case and the client was awarded $3,000. In 2007, Arley was honored with a plaque in the Judge John S. Belford's courtroom where the Petticoats Trial was argued.
In 1989, Arley was the first woman to be honored as an outstanding woman attorney in Northern Nevada. She was selected unanimously. Arley continued to practice law in her eighties.

The Kashaneh Tower (Persian: برج کاشانه) is a 14th-century structure in Bastam, Iran. It is located to the south east of the Jama mosque of Bastam.
History
The inscription on top of the entrance of the tower attributes the building to the year 700 of the lunar Hijri calendar. The local people however believe that the tower has been a Zoroastrian fire temple during Sassanian times. André Godard however, attributes the building to Ghazan khan, which is in agreement with the inscription on the building indicating its date of construction. Furthermore, André Godard claims that the structure was originally named Ghazaneh which was later corrupted into Kashaneh. The inscription on top of the building however, attributes it to Öljaitü.
At times, it was used as a watchtower. However, the tower's shape suggests that it might have had uses in astronomy, as it resembles an observatory in many ways. Others have suggested other uses such as Adhan tower or mausoleum for the building, the latter reflected in the official name of the tower in its registration in the national heritage sites of Iran as the "mausoleum tower near the Jama mosque".
The tower's roof had at one point collapsed but was later repaired.
It was enlisted among the national heritage sites of Iran with the registration number 69 on 6 January 1932.
Architecture
The tower is 24 meters tall from the inside, and 20 meters tall from outside. It's external shape is a Triacontagon. On top of the tower there are two outlines made of large bricks that have inscriptions on them.

Operation Ganga is an ongoing operation by the Government of India to provide humanitarian assistance and to evacuate Indian citizens from Ukraine amidst the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. This involves assistance to those who have crossed over to the neighboring countries of Romania, Hungary, Poland, Moldova, Slovakia.
The Indian Air Force was brought into the operation on 1 March 2022.
Background
Ukraine government statistics from its Ministry of Education and Science place just over 18,000 Indian students in the country. Hotspots for Indian students in Ukraine included Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Bogomolets National Medical University and Kyiv Medical University of UAFM.
Operation
The Indian government through its Embassy in Kyiv issued advisories before the conflict through its communication channels. It had mixed impact. Approximately 4000 Indian nationals left Ukraine before the closure of airspace over the affected areas on the morning of 24 February. The first Indian government advisory was issued on 15 February which was followed by stronger advisories. As it was becoming increasingly difficult to provide assistance to the growing numbers the Embassy, on 26 February, advised students not to go to border posts without prior coordination from the embassy. On 28 February, the MEA advised all Indian citizens in Ukraine to move to and seek shelter in the towns of western Ukraine and to go to the border only after coordinating with Indian authorities. The Ministry of External Affairs set up a dedicated twitter handle for Operation Ganga to assist in evacuation.
The first flight took place on 26 February from Bucharest in Romania and reached Delhi on 27 February at 2:55 am Indian Standard Time (IST). By 27 February 2022 (Day 3), 469 students were evacuated. The evacuations were coordinated with COVID-19 protocols at airports.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi dispatched special envoys to assist coordination efforts. The special envoys were high level Union Ministers ministers of civil aviation, transport, law, and petroleum and natural gas. Jyotiraditya Scindia would assist coordination from Romania and Moldova, Kiren Rijiju from Slovakia, Hardeep Singh Puri from Hungary and General V. K. Singh from Poland. The PM (head of government) briefed the President of India Ram Nath Kovind (head of state) on the situation on 1 March.
Situation
Ukraine
Educational hostels and bunkers in buildings in Ukraine provide shelter for those unable to travel to evacuation points. Students faced problems withdrawing and exchanging money. Indian students were less prepared for how to react to the escalating military situation as compared to the Ukrainians (Russo-Ukrainian War).
Kyiv
On 1 March the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that all Indians have left the capital of Kyiv.
Borders
Some Indian students reported through social media that they faced trouble while attempting to cross the Ukraine-Poland border. Poland's Ambassador to India clarified that it was a humanitarian situation and Poland would ease border crossings and all nationalities would be provided food and shelter.
Russia
Russian passage has been sought on the eastern front of Ukraine to evacuate through Russia.
Some Indian students in Russia have also started preparing for eventualities even though Russia is showing signs of normalcy. The blow of the COVID-19 pandemic to education since 2020 threatens to be worsened for the students by the ongoing situation.
India
In India, the Russian Embassy in the capital saw small scale protests on 25 February by some of the families whose relatives haven't been able to get themselves out.
Routes
From Ukraine land routes to the bordering states have been used. From the bordering countries, the capitals, there are flights to India, the cities of Delhi and Mumbai. From Moldova there are land routes to Romania.
Criticism
A number of stranded Indian students in Ukraine have criticised Indian government's rescue efforts. They have also uploaded a number of videos on social media to highlight their plight in Ukraine. A number of Indian politicians and citizens have also criticised government's efforts and accused it of not doing enough to rescue the students. They also asked government to scale up its efforts to rescue the stranded Indian students. On 28 February, an unidentified Indian students interrupted the reporting of Gaurav Sawant, an Indian journalist, and said that there is no help and no representative to assist them. Further a student from the Indian state of Karnataka named Naveen was killed in the shellings attack in Ukraine. The opposition criticized that evacuation must be paced up and every moment was important.

Sukalyan Ghosh Dastidar was an Indian footballer from Jalpaiguri, who was a striker in the Indian national football team, Mohun Bagan and East Bengal FC. He represented the Bronze-medal winning Indian national football team at the 1970 Asian Games held at Bangkok, Thailand. He was a star attacking midfielder of Mohun Bagan and won numerous accolades during his career. He was captain of Mohun Bagan in 1973. In 1975, he left Mohun Bagan to join rival East Bengal FC. He won numerous trophies as part of the Indian national football team and Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, including the 1970 Asian Games Bronze, the IFA Shield, the Santosh Trophy, the Calcutta Football League and the Rovers Cup.
Early life
He was born in Babupara, Jalpaiguri, Bengal Presidency, British India in an affluential family to parents who migrated to the northern district of Jalpaiguri from Barisal, Bengal Presidency before the Partition of 1947. In this quaint town, which has a history of nurturing great football talents like Pradip Kumar Banerjee, he started his training at the Jalpaiguri Young Men's Association (JYMA), where he was mentored by Rabi Gathu (রবি গাঠু স্যার), the well-known football coach at JYMA. In his early days, he was a leading player in the inter-school football tournaments and the Jalpaiguri Amateur Football League. During these tournaments, Dastidar's footballing antics used to draw huge crowds notably at the Friends Union Club grounds, the JYMA and the Jalpaiguri Town Club. He was a student of Jalpaiguri Zilla School. He played for the Rajasthan football team in the Santosh Trophy for a short while after moving from Jalpaiguri. He was recruited by Mohun Bagan soon after.
Career
He was part of the Bronze winning Indian football team at the 1970 Asian Games, in Bangkok, Thailand. After his first stint, he went on to play for the country five times.
He won a double crown (Calcutta Football League and IFA Shield) in his maiden season with Mohun Bagan and went on to play for the club until 1974. He scored a total of 71 goals for Mohun Bagan in all competitions and was its captain in 1973.
He was a three-time Santosh Trophy winner from Bengal. He switched allegiance to East Bengal FC in 1975.
He was famous for his precision long-distance shots ranging from 35 to 40 yards and he stormed the 1970s Calcutta football scene during his heyday as a striker.
Controversies
In 1973, when Mohun Bagan took the lead for the first time in a game in four years (Mohun Bagan had a dry spell through 1970 to 1975), through a superb shot from 35 yards by Sukalyan Ghosh Dastidar, it just started raining cats and dogs, and the match was abandoned. The same year, East Bengal centre-forward Subhash Bhowmick fell (that's what one would like to believe) on Mohun Bagan captain Shankar Banerjee. Banerjee's legs were smashed, his football career effectively over. Fights broke out in the stadium as the poorly refereed game went on. At the end of the match as Mohun Bagan embraced another heartbreaking and unfortunate defeat, Ghosh Dastidar walked up to the referee Bishwanath Dutta, and struck him a mighty blow on his nose. Ghosh Dastidar was arrested; but he had also ended Dutta's refereeing career. He had crushed Dutta's nose, and bone fragments had got into his eyes, affecting his vision irreparably. He has publicly apologised and repented for this mishap throughout his later life.
In 1975, he left Mohun Bagan to join arch-rival East Bengal FC.
Later life
He settled in Kolkata after retiring from professional association football in 1979. He also served as an employee of the State Bank of India. He continued to actively mentor aspiring footballers in spite of dissonances with Mohun Bagan later on. In his public talks, he stressed the need for transformation of the overall environment and sporting culture of the football scene in Calcutta and India, stressing how it was distinctly different and more constructive in the 1970s which enabled the football clubs then to successfully sustain and nurture new talents. In his later life, he was consistently critical of the present situation of football clubs in India and South Asia.
He used to visit his hometown Jalpaiguri often.
Personal life
He is survived by his two daughters.
Death

The Fangcheng Yue dialect (; local Jyutping: Fong4sing4 baak4waa4; IPA: , )also called Fongsing Jyut dialect, is a subdialect of Yue language(Cantonese), spoken in the southern area closer to the sea of former Fangcheng County(防城縣), which was divided present-day Dongxing City(東興市), Fangcheng District(防城區) and Gangkou District(港口區).
As a variety of Cantonese, it is still able to interact with the native speakers of the Guangzhou Cantonese basically.
Due to the policy on the promotion of Putonghua and the influx of foreign population who doesn't speak Yue Chinese, the level of dialect use among local young people is declining obviously.
Phonology

"It's Tight Like That" is a hokum or dirty blues song, initially recorded by Tampa Red and Georgia Tom on October 24, 1928. The 10" shellac disc single was released by Vocalion Records in December 1928. A successful recording, it eventually sold over seven million copies.
History
Hudson Whittaker and Thomas A. Dorsey met by playing in the backing band accompanying Ma Rainey on her numerous tours. In 1924, Rainey was accompanied by the pianist and bandleader Dorsey and the band he assembled, the Wildcats Jazz Band. They began their tour with an appearance in Chicago in April 1924 and continued, on and off, until 1928. Dorsey left the group in 1926, because of depression from which he suffered for around two years. Having recovered by 1928, he formed a partnership with the blues singer-guitarist Tampa Red. Dorsey adopted the name 'Georgia Tom' and together they co-wrote "It's Tight Like That".
A Chicago street slang superlative was recounted by Georgia Tom, who helped parlay it into the track. "There used to be a phrase they used around town, you know, folks started saying, "Ah, it's tight like that! Tight like that!" The title is a sly wordplay with the double meaning of being "tight" with someone, coupled with a more salacious physical familiarity. Georgia Tom later had time to regret the use of the double entendre.
Being based in Chicago, Illinois, they had access to the record label Vocalion Records. Vocalion recorded two versions of the song in Chicago, on September 19, and October 8, 1928, but these were unreleased. It was the third recording undertaken on October 24 that year, which became the version that was issued in December. Both Tampa Red and Georgia Tom provided the vocals in a call and response manner. Tampa Red on bottleneck guitar and Georgia Tom playing the piano supplied the musical accompaniment. The B-side of the disc was recorded on October 16, 1928. It was "Grievin' Me Blues", accredited to Georgia Tom alone, even though his vocals and piano playing were accompanied by Tampa Red on guitar. That song was written by Georgia Tom.
"It's Tight Like That" was written in the key of A minor, and had 102 beats per minute. The record was a million seller (an extraordinary achievement at that time), and went on to become a big blues hit, covered by a wide variety of blues, jazz, and country artists over the years. Eventually the record sold more than seven million copies. Billed as either "Tampa Red and Georgia Tom" or "The Famous Hokum Boys", the duo found great success together, eventually collaborating on 60 songs between 1928 and 1932, and coining the term "hokum" to describe their guitar/piano combination with simple, racy lyrics. Several sequels of "It's Tight Like That" were waxed by Tampa Red and Georgia Tom (who, as Thomas A. Dorsey, was later to be hailed as 'the father of black gospel music').
In the liner notes for Jazz Odyssey Vol. 2: The Sounds of Chicago (1923–1940) (Columbia C3 32, 1964) John Steiner stated, "After the appearance of ["It’s Tight Like That"] Georgia Tom and Tampa Red moved up from the house party circuit to headlining Midwest theatres."
Other versions
The track proved popular enough that a slew of other versions were released. Amongst the more notable of these were those issued by Clara Smith, Luis Russell, McKinney's Cotton Pickers, Lou Gold, Kentucky Grasshoppers, Jimmie Noone, Zack Whyte and His Chocolate Beau Brummels (all in 1929) and the Tune Wranglers (1936). A post-war offering was recorded by Lead Belly in 1948.
Musicians who recorded more contemporary versions of the song include Chris Barber (1955), The Red Onion Jazz Band (1963 and 1976), Asylum Street Spankers (2004), and Mick Kolassa featuring Victor Wainwright (2018).
Re-releases
The track was included in the Document Records compilation album, Tampa Red Vol.1 (May 1928 to 4 December 1953), released in 1991.
Later developments
Tampa Red's partnership with Georgia Tom ended in 1932, but Red remained much in demand as a session musician, working with John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, Memphis Minnie, Big Maceo, and many others.
Dorsey became the music director at the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago, a role he undertook for fifty years.
Critical reception
The blues historian, Roberta Freund Schwartz, suggested that contrary to some commentators, elements of the pre-World War II recorded output of this nature "is worth serious consideration".
In 2014, the Blues Hall of Fame inducted "It's Tight Like That" as a 'Classic of Blues Recording – Single or Album Track'.

Andrew Cyrille Meets Brötzmann in Berlin is a live album by percussionist Andrew Cyrille and saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, recorded in 1982 at the Workshop Freie Musik, Academy of Arts, Berlin, and released in 1983 by FMP.
Reception
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3 stars, and commented: "One does not normally think of the saxophonist as a lyrical player and, while much of his tenor and baritone work is entirely consistent with past form, he also produces gentle, almost folksy, sounds on the second of two extended improvisations... Cyrille's ability to create a whole orchestra of effects from a relatively standard kit is undiminished, and the album as a whole is surprisingly entire and satisfying for such an uncompromising format."
In a review for All About Jazz, Tim Niland wrote: "A live meeting between multi-reedist Peter Brotzmann and drummer and percussionist Andrew Cryille seems like a match made in free-jazz heaven.... this album lives up to its potential with strong, powerful playing and potent, thoughtful interplay between the musicians."
The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars.

"Wolf Whistle" (Brötzmann) – 23:44
"Quilt (Part A)" (Cyrille) – 9:25

Lorenzo Guillermo Botero Nieto (born 9 April 1948) is a Colombian lawyer, businessman, lecturer, and politician. He was appointed as Minister of Defense between 2018 and November 2019.
Biography
Beginnings
Botero was born in Bogotá in 1948, the day of the events of El Bogotazo. He is the son of the Antioquian merchant Lorenzo Botero Jaramillo, who was the founder of FENALCO, a guild that brings together all the merchants of Colombia, one of the most important sectors in the country.
He studied law at the University of Los Andes, where he was also a professor, and is a businessman with extensive experience working in the Colombian territory. He has combined the practice of law with business activities in the areas of foreign trade, logistics operations, while always being linked to trade union activities.
Career
In his business activity, the export of cut flowers stands out since 1979, as well as the presidency for 10 years until 2003, of a company dedicated to the storage, handling and custody of merchandise associated with logistics processes.
Since November 2003, he has held the presidency of FENALCO (National Federation of Merchants), an entity to which he has been linked as a member of its Board of Directors on different occasions since 1985. He has been a speaker at different forums on political and economic issues. In 2021, he was appointed by President Iván Duque as Ambassador of Colombia to the Republic of Chile.
Ministry of Defence
In 2018, Botero was appointed by President Duque as the new minister of national defense.
Within the framework of his duties, Botero has controversially confronted the rearmament of former FARC leaders; the proposal to regulate social protest as a result of the constant marches against the government; the scandal of the false evidence presented by President Duque before the General Assembly of the United Nations denouncing the guerrilla incursion into Venezuela and the support of the president of that country, Nicolás Maduro for these groups in September 2019, as well as the denunciations of the so-called false positives scandal.
During his mandate, he faced two attempts at motion of censureː The first in June 2019, which he overcame successfully due to the support of the government caucus, and another in November 2019.
Before the second motion was voted on, Botero announced his resignation on 6 November 2019, one day before it began, after immense citizen pressure caused by various events presented in his mandate, such as the murder of Dimar Torres (which raised suspicions of the return of extrajudicial executions, popularly known as "false positives"). Likewise, for the bombing of a place occupied by FARC dissidents in the municipality of Puerto Rico, Caquetá, where 18 minors died.

2 Samuel 18 is the eighteenth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46).
Text
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 33 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 1–11, 28–29.
Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).
Analysis
The story of Absalom's rebellion can be observed as five consecutive episodes:
A. David's flight from Jerusalem (15:13–16:14)
B. The victorious Absalom and his counselors (16:15–17:14)
C. David reaches Mahanaim (17:15–29)
B'. The rebellion is crushed and Absalom is executed (18:1–19:8abc)
A'. David's reentry into Jerusalem (19:8d–20:3)
God's role seems to be understated in the whole events, but is disclosed by a seemingly insignificant detail: 'the crossing of the Jordan river'. The Hebrew root word' 'br, "to cross" (in various nominal and verbal forms) is used more than 30 times in these chapters (compared to 20 times in the rest of 2 Samuel) to report David's flight from Jerusalem, his crossing of the Jordan river, and his reentry into Jerusalem. In 2 Samuel 17:16, stating that David should cross the Jordan (17:16), the verb 'br is even reinforced by a 'Hebrew infinitive absolute' to mark this critical moment: "king David is about to cross out of the land of Israel." David's future was in doubt until it was stated that God had rendered foolish Ahithophel's good counsel to Absalom (2 Samuel 17:14), thus granting David's prayer (15:31), and saving David from Absalom's further actions. Once Absalom was defeated, David's crossing back over the Jordan echoes the Israelites' first crossing over the Jordan under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 1–4):
Both David and Joshua crossed the Jordan and came to Gilgal (Joshua 4:19; 2 Samuel 19:40).
Both were assisted by women who hid the good spies to save the mission: Rahab in Joshua 2:1–21 and the woman of Bahurim in 2 Samuel 17:20.
Both episodes include the Ark of the Covenant, although David prevented the ark from crossing out of the land of Israel (15:25; referring to areas west of Jordan river).
Here God's role is not as explicit as during Joshua's crossing, but the signs are clear that God was with David, just as with qJoshua.
Death of Absalom (18:1–18)
Hushai's successful counsel to Absalom gave David enough time to organize his
troops. By the time for battle David had three groups of army, which was a traditional division at that time (cf. Judges 7:16; 1 Samuel 11:11). David was prevented by his men from marching out with them (verse 3), so he would not be in harm way as would happen to Absalom later. The narrative emphasizes that David should not be implicated in Absalom's death as he was not with the army and he gave specific instructions to his three commanders to 'deal gently' with Absalom, which were also heard by all the people. The battle is briefly described that 'the men of Israel', supporters of Absalom, were defeated by 'the servants of David', who were better placed to take advantage of the wooded terrain, made treacherous by the large pits, called 'the forest of Ephraim' (verse 17). Absalom
became victim to the forest, that his phenomenal long hair (cf. 2 Samuel 14:26; cf. Josephus, Ant. 7 paragraph 239) got caught in the branches of a tree as his mule made its way under it, and 'he was left hanging' in mid-air. A man who reported Absalom's situation was originally offered a reward by Joab to kill Absalom, but he had three good reasons to refuse:
his unwillingness to kill a king's son
his obedience to David's known wish,
his realization that Joab would not protect him from David's wrath (verses 12–13).
Ignoring David's command to deal gently with Absalom, Joab himself thrust three spears at once through Absalom's heart and left his ten armorbearers beating the prince to death (verse 15). As the rebels' leader was dead, Joab suspended hostilities, as this was not a war between the people but more on an individual. Absalom's dead body was thrown into a pit by the troops and they heaped stones over him; this was not a respectable burial (cf. Joshua 7:26; 8:29), but Absalom had during his lifetime erected a memorial for himself in the Jerusalem area (verse 18) and this monument could be the one related to the Tomb of Absalom in the Kidron Valley.
Verse 18
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King’s Valley. For he said, “I have no son to keep my name in remembrance.” He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.
"A pillar" or "monument"
David mourned the death of Absalom (18:19–33)
The next drama is about the transmission of the battle outcome to David. Ahimaaz who was unaware of Absalom's death (verses 28–29), offered and went out to bring the message, but Joab could not rely on Ahimaaz to make that report as positively as he would wish, so Joab sent another messenger, a Cushite, to speak of good news despite Absalom's death. Ahimaaz who arrived first could only report that 'all was well' for David's side, but was unable to answer the question about Absalom. The Cushite brought the same good news, but, gave him the news of Absalom's death with a positive slant (verse 32). David understood the news and began a period of mourning for Absalom (verse 33), which continues into the next chapter.
