Keleivis iš Karaliaučiaus broliams Lietuvininkams žinias parnešas (original spelling: Keleiwis isz Karaliaucziaus Broliams Lietuwininkams Žines parnesząs, ) was a Lithuanian-language weekly periodical published in Königsberg, East Prussia, from 1849 to 1880. It was one of the first Lithuanian periodicals. Edited and published by the linguist and Lutheran pastor Friedrich Kurschat, Keleivis was politically conservative and propagated religious values.
History
During the German revolutions of 1848–1849, liberals started publishing Lithuanian texts targeting Prussian Lithuanians. These included the short-lived periodicals Lietuviškas prielaiškas by teacher Mauras Pucas and Lietuvininkų prietelis by priest Rudolf Andreas Zippel. The approached Friedrich Kurschat, a native Lithuanian speaker and politically loyal to the German Empire, who published two pro-monarchy proclamations in 1848 and established weekly Keleivis in 1849. Kurschat received an annual subsidy of 450 marks from the government.
The first issue was published on 4 July 1849. The newspaper was published on Wednesdays and used Fraktur typeface. The newspaper was edited and mainly written by Kurschat. It published many religious texts and sermons, political and other news. From around 1851, its content became a little more varied. It started publishing more foreign news and occasional articles on agriculture, science, or technology. These were one of the first popular science texts in Lithuanian and required the creation of various neologisms for new technical terms. Some of these terms were adopted by Prussian Lithuanians and used until the early 20th century. Politically, the newspaper remained loyal to the German Empire and its emperors. It did not advocate against the Germanization of Prussian Lithuanians, did not support the Lithuanian National Revival, and instead attacked liberal and democratic ideas. Nevertheless, the newspaper is valued for its correct and fluent language and grammar.
The last issue of Keleivis was published on 30 March 1880. Kurschat transferred the newspaper to teacher Adomas Einaras who published Naujasis keleivis (The New Traveler) in Tilsit (now Sovetsk) in April 1880. In 1883, Naujasis keleivis was taken over by a new editor who renamed it to Tilžės keleivis and published it until 1924. Einaras then briefly revived Keleivis but in 1884 it became a weekly supplement to Konzervatyvų draugystės laiškas published by the Lithuanian Conservative Election Societies until 1918.

The Water Street Historic District, in Clifton, Tennessee, is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
It includes about of residential property along Water St. (Tennessee State Route 128) between Polk and Cedar Sts. in Clifton. In 1992 it included 14 contributing buildings and two non-contributing ones on eight parcels. The north edge of three of those parcels is the Tennessee River.
It is located less than from the Clifton Ferry Landing; the Clifton Ferry was one of the last eight ferries surviving in Tennessee in 1992. The ferry has since closed, apparently.
The historic resources in the district were built from about 1870 to 1940; "the remains of late nineteenth and early twentieth century prosperity survive in the domestic architecture of Water Street." This period was the post-Civil War boom period in the town. The district has architecture ranging from Queen Anne's and Minimal Traditional architecture.
T.S. Stribling Museum
It includes a home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author T.S. Stribling (1881-1965), which is now the T.S. Stribling Museum. It is one of three bungalows in the district, which were all built between 1924 and 1930. The museum's building, the T.S. Stribling House, also known as the Kloss-Stribling House, is a two-story house which was built for T. L. Kloss in 1924.

The Iranian Students Association in the United States (ISAUS) was an American national student group for the Iranian diaspora, active from 1952 until the early 1980s. By the early 1960s, the group transformed into a significant portion of the membership of the Confederation of Iranian Students National Union (CISNU). The ISAUS was still active during the Iranian Revolution between 1977 and 1978, holding national protests and publishing information against Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
History
The Iranian Students Association in the United States was founded in 1952. The group was created with support of the Iranian embassy in the United States and the American Friends of the Middle East (AFME), which was later financially linked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in an April 1967 article in Ramparts. By the late-1950s, the ISAUS had approximately 1200 members. Starting in 1953, the Berkeley-based ISAUS group hosted an annual conference at the International House at University of California, Berkeley.
In the early 1960s, many if the members of ISAUS joined the Confederation of Iranian Students National Union and these students were opposed to the Shah’s regime. The Iranian students were upset and saw the Shah as a "symbol of 25 years of torture and murder" within the country, however most of the world was still supporting the Shah during this period. The group was responsible for the major demonstrations against the Shah in Los Angeles.
In 1976, the ISAUS published pamphlets with allegations of conspiracy between SAVAK (the Pahlavi Iran state–run security and intelligence agency) with the French government and U.S. government. The Iranian Students Association group was active during the Iranian Revolution between 1977 and 1978, holding national protests against Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The ISAUS published, alongside the CISNU, the Resistance quarterly newsletter from October 1977 until January 1979.
Mohammed Roshanaei served as the national secretary of ISAUS while attending college in Washington, D.C. in the late in 1970s. Roshanaei expressed concern during these protests about the United States news reports often referring to Iranian demonstrators and protestors of the Shah as "terrorists".
Protests and demonstrations
In June 1964, members of the ISAUS protested the Shah Pahlavi's visit to Beverly Hills and New York City. On April 28, 1968, an anti-war rally of 15,000 people was held at the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco and included the Black Panther Party, Muhammad Ali, Bobby Seale, Black Muslims, the Socialist Workers Party, and 30 members of the ISAUS.
In 1976, the ISAUS was protesting the Shah in front of the French embassy in Houston, Texas and 100 protestors were arrested. In 1977, the Chicago Police Department were charged in United States court for working in conjunction with SAVAK, and spying for 7 years on the ISAUS group based in Chicago.
Protests by the ISAUS ramped up in 1978 and 1979, because of the Iranian Revolution events. In November 1978, national ISAUS protests were held in several cities of the span of the month, many of the protesters were Americans because some Iranian students were in fear of being killed for participating. In December 1978, the ISAUS held a protest with more than 2,000 participants against Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi at the Iranian Consulate and at the Federal building in San Francisco.
In 1979, Sonja Egenes proposed the state of Iowa to cut off student aid to all Iranians on the 34 campuses in the state, which prompted ISAUS to protest on campuses in the state.

Norman Roye (September 6, 1935 – January 19, 1956), known as The Dreaded Strangler, was an American serial killer and rapist who murdered three women in the neighborhood of Harlem in Manhatten, New York from 1953 to 1954. Sentenced to death for the final murder, Roye was executed by the electric chair at Sing Sing in January 1956, after spending less than a year on death row.
Before the murders
By all accounts, Roye appeared to be a normal boy and an athlete who played in the major league for his school's baseball team.
Murders
On January 2, 1953, Roye was prowling through an apartment complex in Harlem and, after gaining entry through an unlocked apartment roof door, strangled 40-year-old Margaret Branch to death. Over a year later, on May 28, 1954, Roye found himself inside a subway station, where he stalked 25-year-old Kathleen Stewart through the station all the way back to her Harlem river apartment. There, he strangled Stewart to death and fled.
On June 7, 1954, Roye confronted 66-year-old Isadora Goomes as she entered the apartment building where she lived. Roye threw a noose around her neck and demanded money, and Goomes handed Roye five pennies, but not feeling satisfied Roye tightened the noose, resulting in Goomes dying of asphyxiation. With the five pennies Goomes had netted him, Roye bought a box of crackers, which he ate while watching police examine Goomes body. Detectives took notice of this, and arrested Roye.
Trial
Roye confessed to each of the murders, describing in detail how he had committed them. According to Roye's confession, he said he did not intend to kill Goomes, but claimed when he tightened the noose she "Just died on me."
Two days before Roye's arrest, a man named John Francis Roche was arrested after he was spotted driving erratically, and once in custody confessed to five murders which took place in the Yorkvile neighborhood on Manhattan's east side. The two cases, which occurred in close proximity to one another, were compared to each other by the press and the media. In a jailhouse interview with his sister, Roye denied his confession, stating "They found my pants in the hallway." While awaiting trial, Roye was not eligible for bond. On February 4, 1955, Roye was convicted of first degree murder in the death of Goomes. The jury did not recommend mercy, making a death sentence mandatory. Roye was formally sentenced to death on March 5, 1955.
Execution
While awaiting execution, Roye received no visitors, but turned to religion. After 10-months on death row, on January 19, 1956, Roye was executed by electric chair at Sing Sing Prison. His last meal consisted of roast chicken and steak. Roye had no last words.

Rachel DeLoache Williams is an American writer, photographer, and editor. She worked as a photo editor and producer for Vanity Fair until 2019. Williams is known for being the former friend of Anna Sorokin, who pretended to be a German heiress and allegedly conned her out of $62,000. Williams later reported Sorokin to the New York City Police Department and the New York County District Attorney, helping the police locate and arrest Sorokin in Los Angeles and testified against her in court. She wrote an article about her experiences with Sorokin for Vanity Fair in 2018. Since then, she has written for Time and Air Mail and wrote the book My Friend Anna: the True Story of the Fake Heiress of New York City.
Biography
Williams is originally from Knoxville, Tennessee, the daughter of two clinical psychologists. She graduated from Kenyon College in 2010 with degrees in English and studio art. While a student, she interned in New York City for Art + Commerce, Harper's Bazaar, and Mercedez Benz Fashion Week. Williams worked as a photo editor and producer at Vanity Fair, assisting in and producing photoshoots. She worked on shoots for Caitlyn Jenner, Rihanna, and Patti Smith. Williams was laid off in 2019.
She met Anna Sorokin through friends at a nightclub in New York City in 2016. Sorokin, who had created the identity of a German heiress named Anna Delvey, and Williams became friends and attended dinners and events in New York City together. While on a vacation with Sorokin and Kacy Duke at La Mamounia in Marrakesh in May 2017, Sorokin's credit card stopped working and Williams had to pay the $62,000 for the trip on both her personal and business credit cards with the promise that Sorokin would wire her the money. Sorokin never paid her back, and Williams reported the incident to the New York City Police Department and the New York County District Attorney. Williams helped the police track down and arrest Sorokin in Los Angeles, and testified against her in court. While Sorokin was found guilty on four counts of theft of services, one count of attempted grand larceny, and three counts of grand larceny, she was not found guilty for stealing from Williams. Williams' credit card company did forgive the majority of her debt.
Since leaving Vanity Fair, Williams works as a writer and photographer. In 2018 she published an article for Vanity Fair about her experience with Sorokin, titled As An Added Bonus, She Paid For Everything: My Bright-Lights Misadventure With A Magician of Manhattan, and in 2019 published the book My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress. She also made deals for projects with HBO and Simon & Schuster about Sorokin. Williams was paid $35,000 for her HBO deal, $300,000 for her book deal, and $1,300 for her magazine article.
Williams was interviewed on The Sinfluencer of Soho, an episode on the American Broadcasting Corporation's 20/20, which aired on October 1, 2021.
She is portrayed by Katie Lowes in the Netflix drama series Inventing Anna. In February 2022, Williams wrote an essay for Air Mail criticizing the Netflix series for putting out a "fictional story" and "putting money in her [Sorokin]'s pocket."

Strictly Business is a professional wrestling stable currently in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), consisting of Chris Adonis, Thom Latimer and Kamille. Kamille is the reigning NWA World Women's Champion in her first reign.
The group was formed and led by then-NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis on the tenth episode of Powerrr on December 17, 2019, and was quickly established as NWA's top villainous faction with the addition of The Wild Cards (Royce Isaacs and Thom Latimer) and Kamille. The faction gained further credibility with the addition of major names such as Scott Steiner and Chris Adonis. The group dominated NWA until 2021 when Aldis lost his title after a three-year long reign. Shortly after the title loss, Aldis was kicked out of the group due to fending off their attack against Tim Storm, reducing the group to Adonis, Latimer and Kamille.
History
Nick Aldis' leadership (2019–2021)
On the December 17 episode of Powerrr, the season premiere of season two, the World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis confronted longtime rival Tim Storm and warned him for repeatedly calling his name on commentary which led to The Wild Cards (Royce Isaacs and Thom Latimer) and Kamille attacking Storm in the ring and forming a new alliance with Aldis. The episode also featured the beginning of Aldis' feud with Ricky Morton during an interview segment where Morton mentioned that Aldis needed to go a long way to match the legacy of NWA legends which infuriated Aldis. The following episode of Powerrr featured the NWA debut of Isaacs' on-screen girlfriend May Valentine, thus directly adding her as a part of Aldis' faction. On the January 1, 2020 episode of Powerrr, Aldis named the group "Strictly Business" during an interview segment before his scheduled match against Storm in the opening round of a tournament for the World Television Championship. However, Aldis refused to compete and ordered Isaacs to compete in his place, who lost to Storm. The feud between Aldis and Morton intensified on the January 7 episode of Powerrr where Aldis proposed a six-man tag team match between Team Morton and Team Aldis where if Morton won then he would receive a title shot against Aldis. Aldis then named Wild Cards and the debuting Scott Steiner as the members for his team. The following week, Team Aldis lost to Team Morton (Robert Gibson, Eli Drake and Tim Storm), which earned Morton, a title shot against Aldis for the World Heavyweight Championship on the January 21 episode of Powerrr, which Aldis retained. Steiner would quietly leave Aldis' alliance and leave NWA shortly after.
At the Hard Times pay-per-view on January 24, Wild Cards participated in a three-way match for the World Tag Team Championship against Rock 'n' Roll Express and the team of Eli Drake and James Storm, which Drake and Storm won while Aldis retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Villain Enterprises member Flip Gordon. Also at the event, a feud began between Strictly Business and Villain Enterprises based on Grdon's teammate Marty Scurll demanding a title shot against Aldis and Aldis agreeing to give him a title shot if Scurll would leave the building. On the January 28 episode of Powerrr, Aldis proposed to Scurll that he would give him a title shot if Scurll would refund every fan's money upon losing. At Ring of Honor's Free Enterprise event, Scurll agreed to Aldis' stipulation to pay him $500,000 upon losing the match, setting up their title match at a future date. On the February 11 episode of Powerrr, Latimer defeated Strictly Business rival Tim Storm while Aldis and Isaacs defeated Rock 'n' Roll Express. Aldis and Scurll's feud would lead to the beginning of a feud between Strictly Business and Villain Enterprises. The World Heavyweight Championship match was scheduled between Aldis and Scurll at Crockett Cup. Wild Cards were also announced as participants in the Crockett Cup tournament. However, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all subsequent tapings for Powerrr were suspended by NWA. Aldis and Latimer defeated Scurll and Brody King in a tag team match which aired on the special Super Powerrr episode on May 12. The episode also featured Kamille's in-ring debut against Madi Maxx in a winning effort.
Royce Isaacs requested his release during the hiatus and he was granted his release by NWA in September. It also marked May Valentine's silent departure from the faction. NWA resumed holding events in early 2021. All members of Strictly Business participated at the Back For The Attack event on March 21; Latimer challenged Da Pope for the World Television Championship with the match ending in a ten-minute time limit draw, Kamille defeated Thunder Rosa to become the #1 contender for the World Women's Championship and Aldis retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Aron Stevens.
On the March 23 episode of Powerrr, the recently debuted Chris Adonis joined Aldis and Latimer as their third partner and the trio defeated Da Pope, Aron Stevens and JR Kratos in a six-man tag team match. Aldis did not officially acknowledge Adonis' inclusion into Strictly Business but the group celebrated with Adonis after he defeated Trevor Murdoch in a no disqualification, no count-out match for the National Championship on the March 30 episode of Powerrr. The following week, on Powerrr, Adonis was officially announced as a member of Strictly Business when he teamed with Latimer to defeat The End (Mike Parrow and Odinson). Strictly Business would begin feuding with Murdoch. On the April 27 episode of Powerrr, Adonis, Latimer and JR Kratos defeated Murdoch, Tim Storm and Aron Stevens in a six-man tag team match forcing Murdoch to be suspended without pay for thirty days.
On the May 12 episode of Powerrr, Strictly Business criticized the NWA management under Billy Corgan and Aldis protested on a 14-man battle royal being scheduled to determine his challenger. Aldis protested and cancelled the scheduled World Tag Team Championship title opportunity for Adonis and Latimer against Aron Stevens and JR Kratos. The following week, on Powerrr, Corgan punished Strictly Business by revoking Adonis and Latimer's tag title shot and docking Aldis' one month salary and donating its salary. He also warned them to appear on the next week's episode or they would be fired and Adonis and Aldis would be stripped of their respective titles. Kamille was exempt from punishment as she continued to appear.

The film focuses on Ryan's father, Bill, as he pursues a campaign to keep public attention on Ryan's case and work with lawyers to appeal Ryan's conviction. The film documents the investigation into claims that Missouri prosecutor Kevin Crane pressured witnesses into implicating Ferguson as well as omitting evidence and using flawed interrogation techniques.
Reception
In The New York Times Ken Jaworowski wrote, "dream/killer remains fast-paced and frightening". Rolling Stone writes that the film "show(s) the corruptive nature of power and brutally slow machinations of the U.S. justice system". Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times was critical of the film however, writing that it presented itself as "a genuinely awful story of bad cops, corrupt prosecution, incompetent defense and an appeals process marred by the blind upholding of convictions."

Mary Bateman Clark (born 1795–1840) was an American woman, born into slavery, who was taken to Indiana Territory. She was forced to become an indentured servant, even though the Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery. She was sold in 1816, the same year that the Constitution of Indiana prohibited slavery and indentured servitude. In 1821, attorney Amory Kinney represented her as she fought for her freedom in the courts. After losing the case in the Circuit Court, she appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court in the case of Mary Clark v. G.W. Johnston. She won her freedom with the precedent-setting decision against indentured servitude in Indiana. The documentary, Mary Bateman Clark: A Woman of Colour and Courage, tells the story of her life and fight for freedom.
Background
Beginning in the 16th century, the present-day state of Indiana was part of New France (1534–1763), under which slavery was legal. Slavery was practiced by the French, Native Americans, and their allies. For instance, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle traveled through the area with a Shawnee slave. Native American and Black enslaved people were bought and sold in slave markets in New Orleans and Canada.
Even though the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 banned slavery, most of the African Americans were enslaved, some were indentured servants. Many of the slaveholders were influential men like civic and religious leaders, businessmen, and lawyers, who sanctioned going around the law to keep their bondservants. Slaveholders created a "loophole", that the provision did not apply to African Americans who were already enslaved in the state. In 1816, the Constitution of Indiana made forced labor illegal, stating that "there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in this state."
Polly Strong, an enslaved woman, was the plaintiff in a case that argued that she should be free. After losing in the Harrison County Circuit Court, she won the case at the Indiana Supreme Court on July 22, 1820, and she was freed.
Early life
Mary Bateman Clark was born into slavery in 1795. She was a teenager living in Kentucky in 1814, when she was sold to Benjamin J. Harrison, who took her north January of the following year to Vincennes in Indiana Territory. Harrison forced Clark to sign an agreement, that she could not read, that required her to remain his servant for 30 years. Blacks were threatened that if they did not sign indenture contracts, they would be returned to slavery in the South.
Even though the Constitution of Indiana of 1816 prohibited slavery and servitude, Harrison sold Clark to General Washington Johnston, his wealthy uncle and member of the Indiana General Assembly. He was a recent widower. On October 24, 1816, she was purchased for $350 () and had an indenture contract of 20 years.
Court cases
In 1821, Attorney Amory Kinney, who one year earlier represented Polly Strong, filed the freedom suit Mary Clark v. General W. Johnston to terminate Clark's indenture. As with Strong's case, Clark lost in the Circuit Court. The court had ruled that she voluntarily entered into indentured contract, and had to finish out the 20-year term. Clark was ordered to pay Johnston's court costs.
Clark's attorney appealed the decision with the Indiana Supreme Court in the case of Mary Clark v. G.W. Johnston. She won her freedom on November 6, 1821, when the court ruled that servitude violated the state's 1816 Constitution. This was a landmark contract law case for indentured servants and foretold the end of forced labor in Indiana. At some point, Samuel was also freed.
After the Indiana Supreme Court verdicts, Kinney was attacked by mobs, and after a few years moved to Terre Haute, Indiana.
Personal life
Mary Bateman married Samuel Clark on July 12, 1817, becoming Mary Bateman Clark. Samuel Clark had also come from Kentucky as an enslaved person. He was William Henry Harrison's horse handler at the Battle of Tippecanoe. He may have been owned by Luke Decker of Knox County. The Clarks had twelve children together. The seven known children were born between 1820 and 1837: Mary Eliza Brewer, George, William G. W., Frances, John S., Lovina Mariah Reynolds, and Maria Rollins. The family lived in Vincennes. Bateman Clark was a co-founder of the Bethel AME Church of Vincennes. She died in 1840 of dysentery after drinking poisoned water and was buried in the Greenlawn Cemetery in Vincennes. Samuel death was reported on October 27, 1869.
Legacy
Outside the Knox County Court House in Vincennes, Indiana, a historical marker commemorates Clark and her landmark Supreme Court case. It was installed on June 27, 2009. Although Vincennes was the first black community in the state, the marker is the only state memorial in the town.
Ethel McCane and Eunice Trotter, Clark's three times great granddaughters perform reenactments of the case in Indiana.
The documentary, Mary Bateman Clark: A Woman of Colour and Courage, tells the story of her life and fight for freedom. Produced by the Agency for Instructional Technology, it was televised on local PBS affiliates during Black History Month.

Benjamin Franklin Peixotto (November 13, 1834 – September 18, 1890) was a Jewish-American lawyer and diplomat.
Life
Peixotto was born on November 13, 1834 in New York City, New York, the son of Dutch immigrant and physician Daniel Levy Maduro Peixotto and Rachel M. Sexias. His siblings included teacher Judith Salzedo Peixotto and merchant Raphael Peixotto.
Peixotto moved to Cleveland, Ohio when he was two after his father accepted a position at Willoughby Medical College. He left with his family in 1841, but he returned to Cleveland when he was thirteen. He entered the retail business with George A. Davis in the 1850s, and in 1855 the two founded the Hebrew Benevolent Society (which Peixotto was secretary of). He became an editorial writer for The Plain Dealer in 1856, although he left the paper in 1862 due to its Copperhead sympathies. In 1860, he founded the Young Men's Hebrew Literary Society, which he convinced to affiliate with B'nai B'rith as the Montefiore Lodge in 1864. In 1863, he helped found the first B'nai B'rith lodge in Cincinnati. When he was twenty-nine, he was elected Grand Saar of the national B'nai B'rith, a position he held for four years. He helped B'nai B'rith District #2 establish the Jewish Orphan Asylum in Cleveland and raised funds for it by pushing a one dollar capitation tax on members and organizing women's groups in nine cities. While living in Cleveland, he was a member of Tifereth-Israel, serving as its treasurer and trustee and establishing and superintending the Sunday school in 1858. He studied law in the office of Stephen A. Douglas and supported Douglas during his 1860 presidential campaign, although he supported the war effort during the American Civil War. He moved to New York City in 1867, and in 1868 he moved to San Francisco, California to practice law.
In 1870, when Romanian Jews were facing persecution and violence that shocked the world, the Jewish-American community pressured the American government to appoint a new American Consul in Bucharest that would pressure Romania to improve conditions for its Jewish community. President Grant appointed Peixotto Consul in July 1870, although he didn't leave America until December and didn't arrive in Bucharest until February 1871. He wasn't officially accredited before Prince Charles until April, when he could get accreditation that fully recognized Romanian independence instead of as part of the Ottoman Empire. He appointed Adolphe Stern, a lawyer who wasn't allowed to practice law, as his secretary. He supported the Westernization and internal improvement of the Jewish community, helping establish the Zion Society (which later became B'nai B'rith in Romania) and the Society for the Culture of the Israelites in Roumania (which established and strengthened schools across Romania). In order to help spread his ideas and fight against an anti-Semitic press that opposed him, he began unofficially sponsoring the semi-weekly German-language paper Roumanische Post in April 1871, which ran for two years and proved costly for his resources. In 1872, following a wave of attacks against Jews and their property, he led official and unofficial protests against the attacks. His efforts were supported by Secretary of State Fish, although the Romanian government opposed him and after he wrote a letter in 1872 that proposed the Jews immigrate to America, they sought to embarrass him by encouraging emigration. This cost him support in America as well as the Romanian and international Jewish communities. He regularly struggled to raise enough funds from the American and international Jewish community. He planned to leave Romania and the Consulship in 1875, with the hope of receiving a higher diplomatic office like the Consul Generalship of Constantinople, although he stayed several more months during the Great Eastern Crisis. He left for good in June 1876, returning to America that July. His efforts to improve conditions for Romanian Jews laid the groundwork for the 1878 Treaty of Berlin.
Peixotto took an active part in the 1876 presidential election, stumping across Ohio for Rutherford B. Hayes with Carl Schurz, James A. Garfield, and James G. Blaine. In 1877, newly-elected President Hayes offered to appoint him Consul-General at Saint Petersburg, Russia, which he declined. He instead accepted an appointment as Consul at Lyons, France, serving in that position under the successive administrations of Presidents Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur. As Consul, he wrote reports on various economic topics that attracted attention from the diplomatic and commercial world. He returned to America in 1885 and practiced law in New York City. He also became a trustee of the Hebrew Technical Institute and the New York Sanitary Aid Society, a founder of the Ohio Society, and an active member of several literary and benevolent organizations. He was a founder of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. In 1886, he founded the Jewish periodical The Menorah, A Monthly Magazine, the only English Jewish monthly to exist at the time. He edited the periodical until his death.
In 1858, Piexotto married Hannah Strauss of Louisville, Kentucky. Their children were artist George D. M., Fannie, M. Percy, Judith, Mabel, Beatrice, Maud, Irving, and Frank.
Peixotto died at home from consumption on September 18, 1890. The funeral took place in Temple Israel of Harlem, with Rabbi Henry Pereira Mendes conducting the service and Maurice H.

John Frederick Utendale (; January 15, 1937 – August 24, 2006) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player, ice hockey coach, and college professor. He signed a contract with the Detroit Red Wings in 1955, becoming the first Black man to sign a contract with a National Hockey League team. Utendale later became a professor at Western Washington State College (now Western Washington University) as the first Black faculty member of the school's Woodring College of Education.
Early life and hockey career
Utendale was born on January 15, 1937 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to father Alfred and mother Grayce. While still in high school, he began playing hockey with the Edmonton Oil Kings. He signed a contract with the Red Wings in 1955, three years before Willie O'Ree broke the NHL's color barrier by playing his first game with the Boston Bruins. Utendale practiced with the Red Wings but never played in an NHL game. He played with the Red Wings' minor league affiliate, the Edmonton Flyers. During the 1958–59 season, Utendale played with the Quebec Aces with fellow Black players O'Ree and Stan Maxwell on "The Black Line".
In 2006, John's brother Paul Utendale claimed that Jack Adams, the Red Wings' coach and general manager, refused to give John any playing time because Adams objected to John's relationship with Mickey, a white woman who he later married. Mickey and her son Robb said in 2021 that they suspect that John’s relationship with Mickey prevented John from getting playing time with the Red Wings.
Transition to education
Utendale earned a teaching certificate from the University of British Columbia in 1961. While at UBC, he played for the Thunderbirds hockey team for one season, leading the team in scoring. Utendale earned an undergraduate degree in education at the University of Alberta in 1963, after only two years of study while playing semi-pro hockey for local teams.
Utendale's first educational job was as the first director of physical education at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, where he also coached the school's hockey team. He played for several minor hockey teams until 1969, when he ended his hockey playing career and began pursuing a master's degree at Eastern Washington State College (now Eastern Washington University). After earning his master's degree, he was hired as an academic coordinator for the athletics department at Washington State University. At WSU, Utendale also taught in the Black studies department and was a member of the Washington State Human Rights Commission. While fulfilling all these duties, Utendale also earned a doctorate in education from WSU.
Educational career
Western Washington State College (now Western Washington University) in Bellingham, Washington hired Utendale as the first Black faculty member of its Woodring College of Education. Utendale headed Western's master's degree program in student personnel administration for over 25 years. He was recognized nationally for his efforts to increase Western's minority student population. He later earned academic tenure at WWU.
While at Western, Utendale coached the Western Washington Vikings men's hockey team. He was the western regional director of the United States Amateur Hockey Association (now USA Hockey). He also co-founded the Bellingham Area Minor Hockey Association and coached the city's junior ice hockey team.
In 1980, Utendale was named as an assistant training coach with the United States men's national ice hockey team, thus becoming the first Black member of the team's coaching staff. The team won gold at the 1980 Winter Olympics in a campaign that included the famous "Miracle on Ice" game.
Utendale retired from WWU in 2001. He remained in Bellingham until his death in 2006.
Personal life
Utendale married Maryan "Mickey" Maddison Leonard in 1959. They remained married until his death from cancer in 2006. The couple had two sons.
The Seattle Kraken honored Utendale at its February 24, 2022 game as part of Black History Month festivities.

Helen Jepkurgat (also known as Hellen Jepkurgat; b. Feb. 21, 1989) is a Kenyan-born athlete competing in middle- and long-distance running who has won major races in the United States, France and Italy. In the 2019 African Games (held in Rabat, Morocco), Jepkurgat was one of three women chosen to compete for Kenya in the African Half Marathon Championship. She was the top Kenyan competitor in a race that saw Ethiopians sweep the podium. She finished in fourth place with a time of 1:12:29, a few seconds behind Tola Mesetey Belete.
Professional career
Jepkurgat has won many races throughout France, including the 2009 Tour de Tirol, the 2012 Mémorial Partigiani Stellina, and the 2016 Marathon Vert de Rennes.
Her second-place finish at the 2011 Nairobi Half Marathon established her as a major international half marathoner. In Italy, she won half marathons in Torino (in 2012) Jesolo (in 2014), and Piacenza (in 2015, clocking 1:09:56, one of the fastest woman's half marathon times of that year). She still holds the course record (as of 2022) for the Venice-based Moonlight Half Marathon.
In the 2016 Geneva Marathon, Jepkurgat made her marathon debut and raced with Jane Kiptoo through the Swiss streets. They ran through the warm weather close together, but Jeptoo pulled away and won by 12 seconds.
In 2017, she won the largest marathon in California: the Los Angeles Marathon. At the race, she led more than 10,000 other women, including Kenyan Jane Kibii and Ethiopian Biruktayit Degefa, punching through the miles in the mild 60-degree air to break the tape and finish in 2:34:24.
The year proved to be a big one for her. She traveled to Duluth, Minnesota, for the Grandma's Marathon (named after the restaurant on the canal). Starting in to Two Harbors, Minnesota, she raced with the top runners along the North Shore of Lake Superior to capture the first-place prize. A few months later, she was the second-place finisher at the Minneapolis to St. Paul, Minnesota, Twin Cities Marathon. The three races earned her $40,000 in prize winnings.
In 2019, she chased Ethiopian Lemelem Berha to finish second in 2:31:33 at the World Athletics Bronze-labeled BP Castellón Marathon in Spain. She ran the Lisbon Marathon as well, again on the heels of the leader (which was Ethiopian Sechale Delasa), finishing second by just six seconds. Her final time was sub-2:30 (2:29:57), two minutes ahead of third-place Sule Utura.
In 2020, she dueled with Ugandan Immaculate Chemutai in Thailand at the Buriram Marathon and finished third in 2:33:25.
Jepkurgat placed top-10 in the September 2021 Madrid Marathon in Spain. Prior to that (in April), she won 5th place at the Lagos Marathon in Nigeria.
Personal life
Jepkurgat works with agent Marc Corstjens, the former Belgian national record-holder in the 1,500 meters and 800 meters. In 2017, she was living and training in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Neoprotoparmelia amerisidiata is a species of corticolous (bark dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in the southeastern United States, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Garima Singh and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by James Lendemer in the Sapelo Island Wildlife Management Area (Sapelo Island, Georgia); here the lichen was found growing on oak bark. It has a thin, shiny, pale olive-green to olive-grey thallus with numerous isidia. Secondary chemicals in the lichen that are detectable with thin-layer chromatography include alectoronic acid (major), and lesser to trace amounts of dehydroalectoronic acid and β-alectoronic acid. The specific epithet amerisidiata refers to both its North American distribution and the presence of isidia. It is known from North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida.

Machil fake encounter, also known as Machil fake encounter case, refers to a fake extrajudicial killing which was carried out by the Indian Army on 29 April 2010 by killing the three Kashmiri civilians Shazad Ahmad Khan (27), Shafi Ahmad Lone (19) and Riyaz Ahmad Lone (20) and labelled them as Pakistani militants. Considered as one of the biggest human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir since insurgency began in 1947 between India, Pakistan and China, the trio were killed in Machil area of Kupwara district, Jammu and Kashmir at the Line of Control (LoC).
It was widely covered by the news media and national and international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International as well as opposition and mainstream political parties, including the then ruling parties National Conference and the Indian National Congress. Machil fake encounter became the first case in the history of Jammu and Kashmir when army convicted its personnel for human rights violations in the territory.
Background
On 29 April 2010, an army source, Bashir Ahmad Lone offered a job to the victims and promised ₹2000 earning a day. Lone was sent to them by another two army sources, Abdul Hamid and Abbas Ahmad. When the victims reached near LoC, army sources handed over them to 4 Rajputana Rifles at RS. 50,000 each and later they were killed in a fake encounter by Rajputana Rifles soldiers at the Line of Control and labelled them as Pakistani militants.
The next day after killing the victims, the army issued a statement claiming they prevented infiltration attempted on the Line of Control by the three Pakistani-origin militants. It also claimed that they recovered weapons, including the 5 AK-47, ammunition and Pakistani currency from the militants. After the trio from Nadihal village suddenly disappeared, their families started searching for the victims but they returned with empty handed and later filed a missing report with a nearby police station.
The police investigation revealed that the trio were killed in a fake encounter after obtaining call detail records of the victims. According to police, trio were present in Thayen village, Kalaroos of Kupwara when they were killed in Machil area. The family of one of the victims, Riyaz stated that Bashir Ahmad Lone offered a good job opportunity to Riyaz at the border. Riyaz Ahmad Lone, 20 was working at a mechanical shop in Sopore while another victim, Shahzad Ahmed Khan, 27 was a fruit seller and Mohammad Shafi Lone, 19 was working as a laborer.
The victims left their homes on 27 April for a job meeting with Lone. However, they were asked to come after a some days. During the police interrogation, driver of the vehicle which was used by the army sources confessed that he took the trio from Nadihal village to Kupwara. After the victims were killed, army buried them in Machil, however Jammu and Kashmir Police played a central role and brought the bodies for burial in a local graveyard. The faces of the victims were painted with black colour after army labelled them militants.
Court martial
When police revealed the background of the fake encounter, they filed a chargesheet against the 11 accused persons, including 9 army personnel and two civilians. The accused included a colonel and 2 majors. They were charged under sections 302 for murder, section 364 for abduction, section 120-B for criminal conspiracy and section 34 for common intent of the Ranbir Penal Code. The case was initially heard by the Sopore High Court chief judicial magistrate and issued a notice to the army asking to produce involved people before the police.
The army decline to follow the court orders, leading the local court to transfer it to the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh which ordered the army to setup an army court inquiry. The inquiry was started in December 2013 and the accused were sentenced life imprisonment in 2014 by the Summary General Court Martial (SGCM). The army confirmed the life imprisonment of convicted people on 7 September 2015. However, three army sources such as Abbas, Bashir and Hamid were acquitted by the court. It was first time in 25 years of insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir when army confirmed life imprisonment by the General Court Martial (GCM) for killing civilians.
Aftermath
The killing of the trio was heavily criticised by the people which turned into an uprising which left 113 to 120 people dead with hundreds of people injured in different clashes with the Jammu and Kashmir police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Later development
The Armed Forces Tribunal granted bail to 5 convicted army personnel and suspended their conviction in 2017. However, the then ruling party Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti's government didn't challenge the suspension of life imprisonment of the convicted army personnel.

Gordon Franklin de Lisle (28 Feb 1923–2002) FRPS, FRSA, EFIAP (Excellence de la Federation de l' Art Photographique) was an Australian commercial photographer, lecturer in photography and gallery owner.
Training
De Lisle, who in business styled his name 'De'Lisle', was born in Melbourne 28 Feb 1923. His father Frank died when he was 11 and at 13 he left school to help support his mother Ada (who later lived in Mt Macedon) and sister. He trained in photography from 1939 as a cadet at age fifteen on the pictorial staff of The Daily Telegraph (Sydney) and The Australian Women's Weekly. When the war began he joined the merchant marine and participated in the evacuation of the Solomon Islands, then at eighteen joined the RAAF as a radar operator, but was soon reassigned as a photographer. He flew in Catalina flying-boats for four years on reconnaissance and torpedo-training duties, with frequent assignments to Mitchell and Liberator squadrons. He was engaged in 1945 to Bettie Tuck.
He found time and means during the war to write and photograph for newspapers and magazines including an article on Marjorie Lawrence's concerts for armed service personnel. After his demobilisation in 1945 De Lisle faced charges and a £2 fine for keeping his Colt service pistol in ignorance of Victorian regulations being at odds with Queensland's.
Professional photographer
After the war in 1947 De'Lisle opened his own photographic studios in the Exhibition Buildings specialising in society portraits, industrial, aerial and automotive photography, and met, and on 20 February 1948 married after nearly a year's engagement, Merton Hall-educated model Cynthia Ferguson of Malvern, who worked for Georges department store. Parties associated with the engagement and wedding were well publicised and the Lord Mayor Sir Raymond Connelly attended the reception.
They travelled 1948–1949, he first to Indonesia before the couple toured Britain and Europe, then returned to Melbourne before the birth in April 1949 of their first child Jeanine (Jennie) Christina. He installed his business at 9 Collins Street in the Grosvenor Chambers where Wolfgang Sievers also had a studio only doors away from their friend Athol Shmith, to concentrate on commercial and fashion photography. The Department of Trade and Industry was amongst his clients.
From 1949 De Lisle was a stringer for the Sydney Morning Herald magazine and newspaper group in Melbourne and was living in the wealthy suburb of Brighton in Grosvenor Court, 260 St Kilda Street. Through this franchise his picture of a tractor-driving monkey was published in Life magazine in February 1963 and, by popular demand, a whole series from the same story May 1964.
He relinquished the SMH role when in 1958/9 director Stanley Kramer appointed him stills photographer on the motion picture On the Beach, to produce thousands of production prints for the film. Subsequently, he returned to advertising photography. In 1966 he was styling his business more broadly as 'public relations' and advertised for 'PR men' using the tone-drop-out image of a pouting woman apparently speaking the words.
Publisher
In 1963 De Lisle and his wife Cynthia started a publishing company, Joey Books Pty. Ltd., and with writer Joyce Nicholson photographed and designed their first book Kerri and Honey, one of a series of their children's books with the same author.
Recognition
De Lisle was a member of Melbourne Camera Club and exhibited with Group M in the 1960s and won international photographic contests. Among other prizes was a third in the U.S. Camera magazine international contest, from 158,000 entries, and in 1960 the magazine noted that "of 5 prizes being shipped to Australia, 4 are going to one photographer, Gordon De Lisle, a past U.S. Camera winner." His series of "Australia" posters won awards in American Art Directors' exhibitions, with one winning thirteen. A member of the Institute of Australian Photographers (IAP) he was the invited speaker at its October 1969 'Hypo' bi-annual convention in Canberra at which he agitated for better remuneration for photographic services;"This is a profession where a photographer with a lifetime of training and with plant worth $20,000 finishes with exactly the same money for taking a fashion photograph, processing it, retouching it, packing it and delivering a ten-by-eight print as does his model: whose plant is a bra, panties, and a pair of false eyelashes! This is a profession whose ideas are pillaged consistently and blatantly by art directors of advertising agencies; who pay the photographers’ meagre fees, with luck and after endless dispute, in five months. Above all, this is a weak-kneed, spineless profession, whose members wallow in apathy and self-adoration; while those trades and professions about them get on with the task. Do any of you really feel any concern for your image? Are you content to be made to look like bumbling congenital idiots on television? Are you content to do more and more, yet accept less and less? Are you content to slash the “ground from under your contemporaries by every known price-cutting device? And here’s something of particular importance to your wives and children! Do you know what the community thinks of you? The Sociology Department of the University of New South Wales does! It finds you enjoying precisely the same esteem in the eyes of your fellow citizens as do beekeepers, [and] bank clerks..."

In 1970 De Lisle, then in his late forties, followed Ian McKenzie as Senior Lecturer in Charge Photography in the Diploma stream of Prahran College of Technology where he researched videotape and electronic education, hired by the vocationally-oriented graphic designer Principal Alan Warren but after suffering a severe heart attack in 1971 was replaced, by the incoming Principal Dr David Armstrong, with Athol Shmith.
While at Prahran he worked on his high-contrast photomontage series on “the raped land, Australia, as it would appear to a woman who returns from the dead to discover that her country, too, is dying,” which combined his love of the Australian landscape and the female form, and was exhibited and published in 1972 in the Ilford-funded Concern.
Though he contributed to charities, and decried cruelty to sheep, and expressed sympathy for the plight of Marilyn Monroe in letters to newspapers, De Lisle had a reputation at the College for a wolfish attitude to young women, and one of De Lisle's students, and employee at his studio, was Graham Howe, who regarded him "as the Sam Haskins of Australia". Victorian premier of 1955–72, Henry Bolte's vice squad raided his family home, confiscating his "pornography"; nudes for which he was then winning international awards, an experience which confirmed his vehemently expressed opposition to censorship, particularly of the arts. A regular writer of letters to the editor, he notoriously criticised the new National Gallery in Melbourne: "The building squats, featureless, like an obscure grey telephone exchange, floating in already scungy moats floored with lolly papers ... like a bleak penitentiary."
Later life
In 1974 the De Lisle family moved to the Sunshine Coast and established the DeLisle (now Montville) Art Gallery, first at Buderim and from later in 1974 at Montville, renovating the colonial Manjalda homestead which in 1915 had been designed to accommodate about 35 people and was sited between St. Mary's Church of England and the School of Arts. Its croquet lawn, exotic tropical gardens with Balinese statuary, a hot tub beneath a huge frangipani tree and ocean views, proved attractive to tourists. De Lisle enjoyed the roles of hotelier and gallerist and adopted a relaxed and gregarious bohemian lifestyle.
He retired in 1991, and on his death in 2002 was survived by Cynthia, his wife of 54 years, his daughter Jennie, sons Rodney, and artist Christopher, who has continued to operate the gallery, and eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Another son, James, died in 1997.

Neoprotoparmelia australisidiata is a species of areolate lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Australia, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Garima Singh and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by Gintaras Kantvilas north of Emerald Springs (Northern Territory); here it was found growing on the wood or bark of a Cooktown ironwood tree. The lichen has also been recorded in New South Wales. The specific epithet refers both to its Australian distribution, and the presence of isidia. Secondary chemicals in the lichen that are detectable with thin-layer chromatography include alectoronic acid (major), and minor to trace amounts of dehydroalectoronic acid and β–alectoronic acid.

Bunny Reuben (1926 – 15 February 2007) was an Indian film historian, journalist, and publicist. He wrote several books, both fictions and non-fictions, and started his career as a film-focusing journalist in the 1940s, working for several publications, including Filmfare. According to Randhir Kapoor, a son of the actor Raj Kapoor, whose biography Reuben wrote, "It is a great loss to the RK family and the film industry. He was not only a good journalist and publicist, he was a great film historian." Navras Jaat Aafreedi of the Presidency University, Kolkata described Reuben in 2016 as one of the most prominent Bene Israel figures of India.

The Ukelayat Range () is a range of mountains in Kamchatka Krai, Russian Far East. The range is part of the Koryak Highland system and administratively it belongs to Olyutorsky District.
The name of the range comes from the Koryak "vukvylgayat" (Вуквылгаят), meaning "rock/fall".
Geography
The Ukelayat Range rises above the southern side of the valley of the Ukelayat river. It stretches in a roughly east–west direction with its eastern end close to the Bering Sea, between Dezhnyov Bay and Anastasii Bay. To the south rises the Snegovoy Range and to the north, above the other bank of the Ukelayat river, the Pikas Range.
The highest point is Ledyanaya, a high rocky peak topped by an ice cap, which is also the highest point of the Koryak Highlands. To the east, not far from the sea, rises high Mt Undyer (гора Ундер).
The Ukelayat Range has also the largest glacier of the highland area, the Slozhny Glacier with a surface of . The range includes two of the three major glacier regions of the Koryak Highlands, having 344 glaciers with a total area of .
Flora and fauna
The mountains are covered with mountain tundra, bare rocky areas, dwarf forests and shrub birches. Willow thickets, with diamondleaf willow, feltleaf willow and Salix krylovii, may be found in some of the river valleys.
The Ukelayat Range provides a habitat for the snow sheep.

The following article is a broad timeline of the course of events surrounding the Canada convoy protests, a series of protests and blockades in Canada in early 2022. The protest, which was called the Freedom Convoy () by organizers, was "first aimed at a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers" when the convoy of hundreds of vehicles, including semi-trailers, headed towards Ottawa, Ontario the nation's capital, starting on January 22. The protesters quickly changed their messaging to include demands that all COVID-19-related public health restrictions be lifted.
By late January and early February, the professional trucking industry and labour groups, such as Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), Teamsters Canada, Canadian Labour Congress, had published statements distancing their members from the convoy protest.
By January 29, when the convoy converged in what became known as the red zone in Ottawa, there were estimates of from 8,000 to 18,000 pedestrian protesters at its peak on the first weekend and hundreds of vehicles, including 18-wheelers that were parked directly on Wellington Street, in front of the Prime Minister's office.
In spite of an injunction by a judge and the invocation of three levels of states of emergency, municipal, provincial, and federal, protesters temporarily refused to end blockades and the occupation of the red zone. On February 14, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act.
Over the weekend of February 17 to 20, a large joint-operation police presence in Ottawa arrested about 200 organizers and protesters, laid 389 charges, issued fines, removed the heavy trucks and trailers with 79 vehicles towed away, seized 36 license plates, and dismantled encampments across the city. Action was taken against thirty-six commercial vehicles by the Ministry of Transportation. By February 20, the area surrounding the Parliamentary Precinct, occupied by protesters for three weeks, was fenced off by police after it has been secured by a series of police advances pushing the crowd away from Parliament Hill. A heavy police presence remained.
All times specified or approximated given in Eastern Time, or UTC-5:00:
Preceding events
2020
January 25: The first "presumptive" case of COVID-19 was reported in Canada.
May 30: The first (Alpha) wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, lasted 175 day, peaked on day 127, May 30, 2020, with 35,040 active cases, and ended 48 days after the peak with 35,040 active cases and 8,839 deaths.
2021
January 10: The second (Beta) wave, lasted 230 days, peaked on January 10, day 17, with 85,595 active cases. The Beta wave was the deadliest of the five waves with 13,312 deaths. There were no vaccinations available at that time.
April 18: Vaccination campaigns began during the third (Gamma) wave, which peaked on April 18 with 89,884 cases. Vaccination campaigns began during this wave. While the number of cases increased slightly, the number of deaths, 2,569 decreased during the Gamma wave.
September 26: The Delta wave reached its peak on September 26 with 51,747 cases. It was during the fourth (Delta) wave that vaccine mandates and passports began to be considered as free vaccinations were widely available across Canada. The lowest number of deaths, 2,569 occurred during the fourth wave because of the high uptake on vaccinations.
October: New United States Department of Homeland Security regulations, released in October 2021, were regarding cross-border travel between the Canada and the United States and were based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To prevent supply chain disruptions, the DHS allowed for a window of four monthsuntil January 22, 2022for Canadian truckers to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
November 19: The Public Health Agency of Canada announced upcoming adjustments to Canada's border measures. This would include the requirement for essential service providers, including truck drivers, to be fully vaccinated after January 15, 2022. The announcement clarified that unvaccinated or partially vaccinated foreign national truck drivers would be prohibited from entering Canada after that date. Unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers could enter Canada but would have to quarantine for two weeks. According to the Canadian Press and CBC, as of January 22, the mandates would impact an estimated 26,000 unvaccinated truckers of the 160,000 truck drivers who regularly cross the border in both the United States and Canada. When asked in the House of Commons to produce data linking truckers to COVID-19 infections in Canada, neither the minister of health Jean-Yves Duclos nor the chief public health officer Theresa Tam were able to do so.
December: Patrick King, a native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario who would become an organizer of the convoy, said of public health measures: "The only way this is going to be solved is with bullets."
Mid-December: Canada United posted the Memorandum of Understanding on their website and sent copies to the Governor General of Canada and the Canadian Senate. until its February 8 retraction. One of the main organizers behind the convoy, Canada Unity (CU), acknowledged that they had planned to submit their signed "memorandum of understanding" (MoU) to the Senate of Canada and Governor General Mary Simon, described in the MoU as the "SCGGC". The MoU which was signed by James and Sandra Bauder and Martin Brodmann, was posted on the Canada Unity website in mid-December 2021 and publicly available Bauder, whose name is at the top of a CTV News' list of "major players" in the convoy, is the founder of Canada Unity. CTV cited Bauder saying that he hoped the signed MoU would convince Elections Canada to trigger an election, which is not constitutionally possible. In this pseudolegal document, CU called on the "SCGGC" to cease all vaccine mandates, reemploy all employees terminated due to vaccination status, and rescind all fines imposed for non-compliance with public health orders. If this failed, the MoU called on the "SCGGC" to dissolve the government, and name members of the CU to form a Canadian Citizens Committee (CCC), which is beyond the constitutional powers of either the Governor General or the Senate. The original MoU contained no specific mention of cross-border truckers as it had originally been drafted and delivered over a month earlier, but then was reissued for the protest.
2022

Laface said the convoy team was working with constitutional lawyers to get signatures to "compel the government to dissolve government." He compared mask mandates which forced him to wear a mask in grocery stores to "living in Nazi Germany". He concluded by saying Trudeau was a criminal.
January 27: The Kingston Police estimated approximately 300 vehicles (17 full tractor-trailers, 104 tractors without trailers, 424 passenger vehicles and six RVs) to go through Kingston.
January: Intelligence reports by the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre (ITAC), which is part of CSIS, said that some convoy supporters "advocated civil war", had "called for violence against prime minister Justin Trudeau, and said the protest should be 'used as Canada's 'January 6'".

There is a now-debunked but widely-spread online rumour that a woman had been trampled by a horse and killed. The family of the woman said that "she is alive and is recovering from a broken clavicle." This was also confirmed by paramedics.
February 19:
On "Saturday, at about 7:18 p.m. Vancouver Police Department officers discharged Anti-Riot Weapon Enfields (less-lethal firearms) at individuals in the area of Sparks Street and Bank Street". The incident is under investigation by the SIU "investigators and two forensic investigators."
In response to an OPS plea on Twitter for protesters to "stop calling critical emergency and operational phone lines" as a means of protest, anti-vaccine, and anti-mandate Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, Ontario Independent MPP Randy Hillier, who has been with the protesters on site since late January, urged protesters through his Twitter account to "keep calling". In the Ontario area that Hillier represents in parliament, 90% of his constituents are vaccinated.
A statement by the "RCMP, banking sector and federal government" clarified that the Emergencies Act "account-freezing powers...do not affect donors" to the Freedom Convoy protest. The RCMP said that they, did not "provide a list of donors to financial institutions". A Conservative MP who represents the Chilliwack—Hope riding, made a widely circulated but "unsubstantiated" claim on February 20, that the bank account of one of his constituents, who had donated $50 to the Freedom Convoy, had been frozen because of the Emergencies Act.
During a series of police advances the crowd was pushed away from Parliament Hill.
February 20:
The area surrounding the Parliamentary Precinct, occupied by protesters for three weeks, was cleared of all protesters and fenced off by police. A heavy police presence remained.
The Canadian Department of Finance said the 206 corporate and personal bank accounts had been frozen under the Emergencies Act affecting CA$7.48-million. This also affected CA$1.2-million in cryptocurrency assets. Chrystia Freeland serves as minister of finance and deputy prime minister of Canada.
February 21: The House of Commons voted to confirm the Emergencies Act, with 185 for and 151 opposing the motion .
February 23: Prime Minister Trudeau lifted the Emergencies Act at 5:00 p.m. ten days after it was invoked.
Premier Ford lifted Ontario's state of emergency at the same time.
In response to Conservative MP Mark Strahl's viral Tweet containing possible misinformation about a bank account being frozen under the Emergencies Act, a memo was sent to Conservative MPs cautioning them to verify claims before posting them, according to Interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen. To ensure they were not spreading disinformation, MPs were asked to verifying constituent's identity and request use of their first name, access "written confirmation from their bank branch manager that their account was frozen in accordance with the Emergencies Act".

Neoprotoparmelia brasilisidiata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It has a neotropical distribution, and has been recorded from Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Brazil, where it grows in parks and open areas. The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Garima Singh, Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres, and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by Cáceres and Aptroot in the Serra de Itabaiana National Park (Sergipe, Brazil), at an altitude of about . The specific epithet brasilisidiata refers to both the country where it was first scientifically documented, as well as the presence of isidia. The lichen contains secondary compounds that can be detected using thin-layer chromatography, including alectoronic acid (major), and minor to trace amounts of dehydroalectoronic acid and β-alectoronic acid. When shone with a UV light, the medulla of the thallus and the isidia have a greenish white glow; this characteristic can be used to help distinguish it from other similar crusts with isidia.

The Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Duran (or, alternatively, Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Duran, Roberto Duran vs. Marvin Hagler or Roberto Duran vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler) contest was a professional boxing fight which took place on November 10, 1983, at the Caesar's Palace hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was for Hagler's universally recognized (or undisputed) IBF, WBA and WBC world Middleweight title. Having knocked out Davey Moore in eight rounds on the previous June 16th to win his third divisional world championship, the WBA world Junior Middleweight one, Duran, a Panamanian, was attempting to become the first four division world champion in boxing history. Hagler, meanwhile, had beaten Alan Minter by third round technical knockout in September of 1980 to win the undisputed world Middleweight title, and, after proposed "super-fight" title defenses against Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns failed to take place, was making the eighth defense of that championship, his seven previous defenses all ending in knockout wins for the American champion.
The fight was televised live on closed circuit in the United States and (free of charge) on WAPA-TV in Puerto Rico, where it was worked by sportscaster Rafael Bracero. It was also shown days later in the USA for free on cable station HBO's HBO World Championship Boxing, with Barry Tompkins, Larry Merchant and Duran's archrival (and, later also, Hagler opponent) Sugar Ray Leonard working the HBO show.
The bout caused great expectations both among boxing and non-boxing fans alike, and Ring Magazine produced a rare, special issue about it which came out days before the fight. Other media outlets, such as Sports Illustrated, also covered the event.
Hagler came into the fight with 57 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws (ties), 48 of his wins being by knockout. For his part, Panama's Duran sported a record of 77 wins and 4 losses in 81 professional boxing contests, 58 of his wins by knockout.
The bout's presenter was Chuck Hull; its referee was Stanley Christodoulou of South Africa. Christodoulou, coincidentally, had also refereed Duran's fellow Latin and Central American Alexis Arguello's first attempt versus Aaron Pryor at becoming a four division world boxing champion, which had come almost a year before Hagler-Duran's date, on November 12, 1982 at Miami, Florida.
Also like Pryor-Arguello I and II (the latter of which was also held at the Caesars Palace hotel), the fight was promoted by Bob Arum.
The fight
The bout was the main event of a program that also included Freddie Roach's 10-round unanimous decision loss to Louie Burke, and a contest to determine Hagler-Duran's winner's next challenger, between American Frank "The Animal" Fletcher and Argentina's Juan Roldan, which was won by Roldan by a brutal, blistering sixth round knockout.
Hagler won the fight by a fifteen rounds unanimous decision.
Despite what boxing fans and experts expected, it was a largely tactical affair, with Duran unexpectedly boxing from outside (he is mostly remembered as an in-fighter) while Hagler awaited for his opportunities, picking his shots.
Duran led on the three official judges' scorecards after thirteen rounds by one point on each. But Hagler dominated rounds fourteen and fifteen to forge ahead and retain his titles by a close but unanimous decision, the scores reading 146-145 (on judge Yusaku Yoshida's), 144-143 (on Ove Ovesen's) and 142-141 (on Guy Jutras') on the cards, all in favor of champion Hagler.
Aftermath
Hagler then retained his title 4 more times, including victories over Roldan, over Hearns and John Mugabi before losing it on his final fight, to Ray Leonard on April 6th, 1987. He retired with a record of 62 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws (ties), with 52 wins by knockout, after he moved to Italy and became an actor, filming various movies in Italy and a commercial in the United States for Pizza Hut. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame 14 years before Duran was, in 1993.
On the other hand, Duran lost on his very next fight to Hearns and retired immediately after that, but he made several comebacks afterwards, including one where he actually realized his dream of becoming a four division world champion (albeit being the third one, not the first one as he'd been had he won against Hagler; Hearns and Leonard were boxing's first and second four division world champions, respectively) against Iran Barkley, fights with Vinny Paz and Hector Camacho (twice each; Duran lost to both twice each by decisions) William Joppy-a third-round technical knockout loss for Joppy's WBA world Junior Middleweight title which had belonged to Duran himself a decade and a half before- and a rubber match with Leonard (they had beaten each other once each before). Duran retired with 103 wins and 16 losses in 119 contests, 70 of those wins coming by knockout. Duran went on to record Salsa music albums as a singer and was in Argentina promoting one of his albums when he suffered a life-threatening car accident in 2000, which caused him to retire from boxing. In 2016, a movie about him, Hands of Stone, was released. That movie was based on a book about Duran written by American author Christian Giudice. Duran was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2007.

Vladimir Vadimovich Krassovsky (; born 22 November 1950, Bangkok) is the choir director of the Holy Virgin Cathedral. He is the elder brother of Archimandrite Roman (Krassovsky). He is a member of the Church and Music Commission of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
Biography
Vladimir Krassovsky was born on 22 November 1950 in Bangkok to the emigrants from Russia, Vadim and Larisa Krassovsky.
In the mid-1950s, his family moved to live in the United States, California. In parallel with an American school, he attended the parish gymnasium at the Church of All Russian Saints in Burlingame, where the Russian language, geography, history and the law of God were taught. Vladimir graduated from the University of San Francisco with a bachelor's degree in Russian literature and music. He then studied architecture for three years.
He acquired his first icon painting skills from N. S. Zadorozhny while painting the Church of All Russian Saints in Burlingame (the construction of the church was led by Vladimir's father). From 1969 to 1978, he was an assistant to the icon painter Father Cyprian (Pyzhov) from the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, who was invited to San Francisco to paint the Cathedral and other Orthodox churches in California. For several years he went to the icon-painting workshop at the Holy Trinity Monastery in order to improve in icon painting.
In 1979, Vladimir Krassovsky replaced his mentor and teacher Mikhail Konstantinov as the choir director of the archbishop's choir at Holy Virgin Cathedral.
In 1985, having received the blessing of Father Cyprian, he left his service in the insurance company and devoted himself entirely to icon painting.
Over the next years, he painted about ten Orthodox churches in the United States. He painted several dozen icons for churches and monasteries in Russia, as well as for exalted Russian persons and clergy (including the families of Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin, Patriarch Alexy II and Patriarch Kirill).
Currently, he has his own icon-painting workshop and is the choir director of Holy Virgin Cathedral.

2 Samuel 14 is the fourteenth 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 1–3, 14, 18–19, 33; 15 and 4Q53 (4QSam; 100–75 BCE) with extant verses 7–33.
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
This chapter contains the following structure:
A. Joab's plan: he sends the wise woman to the king, putting words in her mouth (14:1–3)
B. The woman manipulates king David to reconsider Absalom's exile (14:4–17)
C. The king recognizes Joab's role and changes his mind on Absalom's exile (14:18–20)
B'. The king executes his decision on Absalom's exile (14:21–28)
Interruption: an introduction to Absalom (14:25–27)
A'. Absalom's plan: he sends Joab to the king, putting words in his mouth (14:29–33)
At the opening, Joab who noticed David's softened heart toward Absalom, devised a plan to bring Absalom back to Jerusalem (A) and at the end, Absalom devised a plan to see David and was reconciled with his father (A').
The climax of these events is when king David detected Joab's plan (C).
Absalom returned to Jerusalem (14:1–27)
Joab read signs that David was ready for Absalom's return, so Joab used trickery to get David's permission so he could bring Absalom, a possible heir to the throne, back to the king's court. For executing his plan, Joab channeled his plea to David through the mouth of a wise woman from Tekoah who had the special gift of either a gift of speech or a gift for feigning or acting lamentation.
There are possible connections between this episode and other biblical passages:
The style resembles Nathan's parable (2 Samuel 12), after which David condemned himself in his response to the described injustice. Here David convicted himself in his judgement (verse 13).
The tale about two brothers where one killing the other is reminiscent of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4, especially the protection given to the murderer by divine promise (Genesis 4:15) and here by royal oath (verse 11).
The account of Joab's interaction with the wise woman of Tekoa contains several links to his conversation with the wise women of Abel of Beth-maacah in 2 Samuel 20.
The woman presented to David a dilemma: she was a widow with only two sons, that when one murdered the other, she was torn between her duty to avenge the death of one son and her duty to her husband to preserve his name by protecting the life of the remaining son (verse 7). Her community rightly demanded a blood revenge, but her appeal for special consideration so that 'her last ember would not be quenched' touched king David's heart, so he promised a ruling
(verse 8), which became a royal oath on the woman's further insistence that no one would touch her son. The oath placed David in jeopardy because he had condemned himself for his treatmentq of Absalom as the woman argued (verse 14): all
would die, and Amnon's death cannot be changed by keeping Absalom in banishment.
The parallel of the parable devised by Joab to be spoken by the woman to the story of Cain and Abel can be summarized below:
Apparently Joab crafted the tale assuming that David had a masterful knowledge of the Torah, and that David would use it as an authoritative guide in making his legal decisions (cf. Nathan's parable; 2 Samuel 12:6), so the king would give the same verdict that the Lord issued for Cain.
At this time, David realized that the woman's action was actually Joab's doing, still he acceded to the request that Absalom be allowed to return, although not be granted full privileges (verse 24). The section comprising verses 25–27 provides specific descriptions on Absalom — his
beauty and in particular to the weight of his
hair— as well as his children, probably intended to show the popularity
of Absalom among the people of Israel.
Verse 27
And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
"Three sons": Their names are not given, indicating that they may have died in infancy, as supported by 2 Samuel 18:18, where Absalom said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance."
"Tamar": Absalom's daughter named after her aunt, who was also said to be beautiful. The Septuagint version has an addition that "she became the wife of Rehoboam, and mother of Abijah." However, 1 Kings 15:2 records that Abijah's mother was "Maachah the daughter of Abishalom;" and in 2 Chronicles 13:2 her name was "Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah" ("Michaiah" is considered a variation of "Maachah"), so it could be deducted that Tamar married Uriel, and that it was her daughter (which is, the granddaughter of Absalom; in Hebrew custom can be called "Absalom's daughter") who became Rehoboam's favorite queen (cf. 2 Chronicles 11:20, 21).
Absalom reconciled to David (14:28–33)
After waiting for two years without any signs of progress in his relationship with his father, Absalom took one desperate action against Joab, by burning Joab's field, to get Joab's attention and compelled Joab to bring Absalom to David.
Finally Absalom met David and given a
kiss (verse 33) as a sign of reconciliation.
Verse 33
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
"The king kissed Absalom": this indicates a reconciliation and the restoration of Absalom's place as David's son with all its privileges. The kiss here has a similar token as the father's kiss in the case of the prodigal son (Luke 15:20).

Neoprotoparmelia crassa is a species of crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Australia, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Garima Singh and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by John Elix in Solar Village (Australian Capital Territory). It is only known to occur here and in Northern Territory, where it grows on the bark and wood of trees in open and closed forests. It contains alectoronic acid, a secondary chemical. The specific epithet crassa, derived from the Latin crassus ("fat") refers to the thickness of its thallus (measuring up to 0.1 mm), which is greater than the other isidiate members of genus Neoprotoparmelia.

In 2020, she received Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Translation for Upekshikkappetta Dinangal, the Malayalam translation of the novel The Days of Abandonment by Italian author Elena Ferrante. She is the daughter of writer activist Sarah Joseph.
Biography
Sangeetha was born on July 19, 1975, in Mulankunnathkavu in Thrissur district of Kerala to writer Sarah Joseph and the public activist Kottakkal Joseph. She is known in various fields of literature like novel, children's literature, translation and also is a guitarist and teacher. She who holds a master's degree in English Literature from Kerala Verma College, Thrissur works as a teacher in the Kerala Government Higher Secondary Department.
Personal life
Sangeetha and her husband architect P. K. Sreenivasan have one daughter, Medha Sreenivasan.
Literary career
Sangeetha first started writing in English. In 2004, one of her story was published in Indian Literature magazine. Her first short story collection in English, Penguins Who Lost the March was published by Yathi books. She later wrote two children's books, Vellimeenchattam and Kallithallakal Vs Sinkakkuttikal. Aparakanthi is Sangeetha's first novel. She later translated her second novel Acid in Malayalam, to English. She says she wants to write about women's lives without a barrier and about women's sexuality. She says that her mother's influence on her writing and life is immense.
Receptions
Methil Radhakrishnan has dedicated his book Methil Kavithakal to Sangeetha and wrote "to my best friend who wrote the book Penguin Who Lost the March" in the introduction.
Actor and director Madhupal decided to make her novel Aparakanthi into a film and Sangeetha wrote the script as per his request but due to some circumstances the film was later cancelled.
Novel Acid
Sangeetha's most critically acclaimed novel is Acid, originally written in Malayalam and later translated to English. Sonali Majumdar from Hindustan Times wrote Acid as a tempestuous and turbulent trip, which is hallucinogenic, haywire, and is filled with a melancholia that is hard to shake off. writer K. R. Meera in a review publishe in The Hindu, wrote that the book is likely a first book to go deep into unapologetic handling of same-sex affinity between two women. In a review published in The Telegraph India, S. D. Chaudary states that, as the possessor of a loneliness unique to each character, the novel does not deny the complexities of life that the characters go through. He also wrotes that the image used to describe the emptiness of the characters is strong. Apoorva Sripathi of Scroll.in describes Acid as a hallucinatory novel that overturns traditional ideas of family and motherhood. Rahul Radhakrishnan from Indian express writes that, in Acid, Sangeetha combines the life of insecure characters with Middle-class urban life, nuclear family unrest, marital discomfort, variations of sexuality, the intensity of intoxication, the new generation of definitions of human relationships, and above all, the colors, rhythms, and stumbles of a metropolis that never sets at night.

Robert Smellie (also spelled Smillie) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left back.
Smillie initially played for Annbank where he was in the side that reached the quarter-finals of the 1891–92 Scottish Cup and won the Ayrshire Cup in the same year. After signing for reigning English Football League champions Sunderland who were seeking to replace defensive players Donald Gow, John Oliver and John Murray who had all moved on, Smellie helped the Wearsiders retain their title in the 1892–93 season (assisted by former Annbank teammate Billy Dunlop and almost an entire team of Scots), but despite the team's success, it was felt they were stronger in attack than defence and individually he fell out of favour towards the end of the campaign and was not retained – Peter Meehan was brought in as a replacement and Donald Gow later also returned to the club. Smellie moved on to second-tier Walsall Town Swifts where he played for at least one season against the likes of Manchester City (in their final season of being known as Ardwick), Liverpool and Newcastle United, leaving a match against the latter in December 1893 with an injury which may have been significant as he featured rarely if at all for Walsall in 1894 according to statistics available.
He has often been confused with the better-known Bob Smellie of Queen's Park who was a Scotland international in the same era, playing in the same position (circumstantial evidence, and more significantly both men playing matches for different clubs on the same day, has shown them to be two different people). Due to this issue, few of his personal details are confirmed.

DeWitt Clinton Poole (1885—1952) U.S. Consul general in Moscow, was America's spymaster in Revolutionary Russia.
He was implicated in the Ambassadors Plot to assassinate Vladimir Lenin in 1918, which the press misnamed the Lockhart—Reilly plot, after two of its principal agents. Poole employed Xenophon Kalamatiano as his main field officer. Besides Reilly, the main Russian plotter was Boris Savinkov, who ran an anti-tsarist and anti-communist underground. which was eventually uncovered by the cheka, and the bolsheviks responded by escalating the red terror.
U.S. Secretary of state Robert Lansing allegedly initiated the plot after Lenin seized power in October 1917 and removed Russia from the World War I, as part of a secret deal the Bolsheviks had struck with Germany. President Woodrow Wilson's foreign policy was publicly opposed to interference, but he told Lansing the Moscow coup had his "entire approval".
In addition to instigating an attempted coup d'etat, they laundered money through the British and French to send the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) on the Polar Bear Expedition under British Command by General Edmund Ironside in Operation Archangel, part of the North Russia intervention, an Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. General Jean Lavergne, chief of the French military mission to Russia was aided by Consul General :fr:Joseph-Fernand Grenard, who attempted to recruit resistance armies to march on Bolshevik Moscow, and dispatched agents across Russia.
After the invasion failed, inquires were met with "evasive avoidance" in America, with FDR in 1933 inirectly denying the matter in claiming a "happy tradition of friendship for more than a century".
Reagan again denied it in the 80's in public address to the Russian people that "our governments have had serious differences, but our sons and daughters have never fought each other in a war."
Foreign Service and Academic Career
1918 Ambassadors Plot to Assassinate Lenin
The Ambassadors' Plot, later misnamed in the press as the Lockhart-Reilly Plot, has sparked considerable debate over the years: did the Allies launch a clandestine operation to overthrow the Bolsheviks in the later summer of 1918 and, if so, did Felix Dzerzhinsky's Cheka uncover the plot at the eleventh hour or did they know of the conspiracy from the outset? At the time, the dissembling American Consul-General DeWitt Clinton Poole publicly insisted the Cheka orchestrated the conspiracy from beginning to end and that Reilly was a Bolshevik agent provocateur.

Sorocephalus imbricatus, the tile-leaf clusterhead, is a flower-bearing shrub that belongs to the genus Sorocephalus and forms part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape where it is found in the Piketberg, Groot Winterhoek and Elandskloof mountains. However, plants were last observed at the latter two sites 50 years ago.
The shrub grows only 2 m tall and flowers from August to September. Fire destroys the plant but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and pollination takes place through the action of insects. The fruit ripens, two months after flowering, and the seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants. The plant grows together with sandstone fynbos in mountainous shale at altitudes of 330-860 m.

Camilla Pisana (probably from Pisa - fl. 1515) was an Italian courtesan, known as a letter writer and poet.
Biography
Camilla Pisana became one of four courtesans installed by Filippo Strozzi in a villa near Porta San Gallo in Florence, where they served Strozzi and his friends, including Duke Lorenzo d'Urbino (father of Catherine de' Medici). She lived there with her friends and fellow courtesans Alessandra Fiorentina, Brigida, and Beatrice Ferrarese. Among them Camilla seems, from her letters, to have assumed the role of matriarch of this unusual family. Camilla and her companions could nevertheless enjoy a house decorated by the painter Rosso Fiorentino.
Camilla was renowned for her beauty, musical and literary skills. She wrote letters to her friend Francesco del Nero (1487-1563), who was Filippo Strozzi's brother-in-law and close business associate, complaining about her mistreatment at her lover's hands.
“When this pleasant, though somewhat unconventional, household was dissolved after Strozzi lost interest in it, the girls went on to Rome, where from the rank of cortigiane oneste they soon sank to that of cortigiane piacevoli and even lower.”
Works
She is known in literary history for the 33 letters she sent to Strozzi between 1516 and 1517. Her letters, together with those of Veronica Franco, are among the few and most important non-poetic writings that have come down to us from a courtesan of the Italian Renaissance.
“Camilla Pisana's letters seek to persuade their readers of the writer's self-worth by employing the culturally designated language of courtly compliment, suitably phrased.”
According to Alfred Einstein, Camilla provided the words to poems set to music by the famous madrigalists Costanzo Festa and Philippe Verdelot.
It is also possible that this is the same Camilla Pisana mentioned by Aretino in La cortigiana (1534) and in the Ragionamento dello Zoppino.

The GFAN AP Secretariat works remotely and is composed of Rachel Ong (Regional Coordinator, based in Singapore), Niluka Perera (Advocacy, Programmes and Coordination Officer, based in Colombo, Sri Lanka), and Anukriti Singh (Communications and Media Officer, based in New Delhi, India).
Creation
GFAN AP was established in April 2014 at a first meeting co-organised by the Communities Delegation to the Board of the Global Fund (Communities Delegation) and the Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN) hosted by the Asia Pacific Network of People Living with HIV and 7 Sisters Network on 9 and 10 April 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. The meeting brought together 27 representatives of regional networks of Key Affected Populations, Communities and Civil Society Delegations on the Board of the Global Fund, civil society organisations, and representatives from the Global Fund Secretariat. The meeting founded GFAN AP recognising the need for a more consolidated and concerted effort on advocacy and lobbying by community and civil society networks/organisations in the Asia-Pacific for the Global Fund.
The first working group that resulted from the inaugural meeting consisted of Tracey Tully (Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers), Malu Marin (7 Sisters), Rodelyn Marte (APCASO), Laurindo Garcia (B-Change), Blessina Kumar (Global Coalition of TB Activists), and Ting Ting Shen (Asia Catalyst).
The Steering Committee was formed in 2016 and is chaired by Dr Khuat Thi Hai Oanh (Center for Community Development Initiatives) with a group of passionate advocates working in HIV, TB and Malaria - Blessina Kumar (Global Coalition of TB Activists), Donald Allen Baxter (Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations), Masaki Inaba (Africa Japan Forum), Rodelyn Marte (APCASO), Shreehari Acharya (Malaria CSO Platform). Rachel Ong (Regional Coordinator, GFAN AP) is an ex-officio member of the Steering Committee, and Peter van Rooijen is an Adviser (appointed in 2022) to the Steering Committee.
Activities
Working closely with India communities and civil society organisations ahead of the Sixth Preparatory Meeting hosted by the Government of India in February 2019, communities and civil society raised the importance of the continued support of the Global Fund to India, and at the same time the solidarity that India should show with the rest of the world through increased pledges to the Global Fund, and to double its health budget which is only 1.2% of the GDP.
For the Sixth Replenishment of the Global Fund, the largest communities and civil society mobilisation was coordinated by GFAN Asia-Pacific for the #LoveMoreGiveMore campaign, held on Saint Valentine's Day to thank donors and to share key messages of the Investment Case.
In 2020, after COVID-19 started ravaging and brought countries programmes to a standstill in some situations, GFAN AP worked closely with country partners in the Asia-Pacific region to highlight key stories and contributions from communities and civil society organisations despite the difficulties they faced with COVID-19 related lockdowns and restrictions. Advocacy work towards donor governments to step up increased pledges to the Global Fund for its C19RM also ensued.

In 1989, the museum was opened to the general public. In May 2015, an exhibition of photographs of monuments of Manouba was held at the museum.

The History of the Five Indian Nations is a book by natural scientist and the governor of the Province of New York Cadwallader Colden. It was first published in New York in 1727 and a second edition was published in London in 1747.
History was rooted in a pamphlet Colden published in 1724 called Papers Relating to the Indian Trade, although Papers and the first edition of History diverged widely. Papers was an appendix to the second edition of History, which was "very greatly enlarged" as compared to the first.
History full title reads "History of the Five Indian Nations Depending on the Province of New-York in America", and as such the book accounts for the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas (later editions included the Tuscarora). Colden writes of the nations' customs, traditions, governmental structures, as well as historical studies of battles, treaties, and sachems. The book's main subject is Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) participation in North American wars in the late 17th century. Contemporary historians have used History both as a chronicle of events in 17th-century North America and as a chronicle of the views of an "eighteenth-century British administrator".

Versuch einer kritischen Dichtkunst für die Deutschen (English: Essay on a German Critical Poetic Theory) is a 1730 treatise by the German philosopher, author, and Age of Enlightenment figure Johann Christoph Gottsched. The treatise was the first effort to codify into German poetry the standards advocated for by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux, who in turn was inspired by Horace. Boileau was an eminent force for classicism; Gottsched served a similar role for German verse.

2020–present: Ummon and breakthrough success
On 28 February 2020, the band released their third studio album, Ummon, which was met with positive critical reviews. The band was unable to initially tour in support of the album due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns. During the pandemic though, their self-titled single on the track was shared as a live recording on KEXP in the United States, helping garner the band international attention.

Ummon is the second studio album by French progressive rock band, Slift. The album was released on 28 February 2020 through Vicious Circle. Two singles were released ahead of the album: the title track, "Ummon", in 2019, and "Hyperion" in 2020.
Track listing
Critical reception
The album was well received by music critics. On The Elite Extremophile, the website gave Ummon a 93 out of 100 saying that Ummon "[has] harnessed the menace of doom metal, the energy of garage rock, the hypnotic repetition of krautrock, and the general strangeness of prog. They put those elements together in an impressive and intense package. This album is demanding, but it is worth your time and energy." Nathan Whittle, writing for Louder than War, gave Ummon a four out of five, saying that Ummon "the fuzz pedal clicks on though, the band launch as one in a full-on attack. On their journey, they are switching between the sounds of them slamming on the rocket boosters and then lifting off to float off into the heavens." Writing for Classic Rock magazine, Jo Kendall gave the album a 7 out of 10. Kendall compared the album to the works of Pink Floyd and Thee Oh Sees, and that the album is "generally it’s all psych rockets blasting as the Toulouse trio soar to space-prog’s summit", and called it "a high-octane 11 tracker."
In a staff review for Sputnikmusic, the album was described as a "ravaging, colourful journey that pushes and breaks through boundaries without production tricks of any kind, relying on a fantastic live performance to bring to life one of the best albums of the year." The staff gave it a 4.6 out of 5.

Invasion of the Space Invaders: An Addict's Guide to Battle Tactics, Big Scores and the Best Machines is a 1982 nonfiction book on video games by the British author Martin Amis. The book is both a survey of the 80s New York City arcade scene, and a cheat sheet of gaming tips and tricks. Despite some reportage to the contrary, Amis has not "disowned" the book as has been claimed, despite its great dissimilarity to the rest of the oeuvre. The book's foreword is written by fellow arcade game enthusiast Steven Spielberg. Amis does strike an admonishing tone at times, even going so far as to say that video gaming is "morally ambiguous". The book was written concurrently with Money.
