Iosif Cherapkin (, ) (, Staryye Verkhissy (), today's Penza Oblast - March 18, 1935) was a Moksha enlightener, educator, and linguist. Biography During Russo-Japanese War, Cherapkin was conscripted into the Russian Imperial Army. He finished teacher's seminary in 1906 and worked as teacher in his village school. For his activity aiming to popularize school education in Moksha language he was banished to Siberia. He returned in 1912 and enrolled Moscow University and studied history and philology. He lived in Belgium,France and Germany and returned home in 1915. He welcomed October Revolution and joned Red Army during Civil War. Bolshevik Korenizatsiya (nativization) policy was aimed at de-Russification. The government established ethnic autonomies and republics with their own governments in Russia. They supported minorities and even ethnic Russians working in said governments were required to learn the local language and culture of the given Soviet republic or autonomy. All parties and political activity were banned in Soviet Russia and in 1921 he was arrested as suspect supporter of 'SR' (Social-Revolutionary party) but soon released as his guilty was not proved. Cherapkin met Makar Evsevʹev and was influenced by him. He described Moksha dialects and divided them in 3 groups: Spassk, Krasnoslobodsk-Temnikov and Insar dialects. Krasnoslobodsk-Temnikov dialect was chosen as the basis for the Moksha literary language. He completed the work on the grammar and described phonetics, morphology and syntax. In 1924 he worked as a secretary in Moksha newspaper Од веле ('New Village') and as a lecturer in Saratov State University in 1929. In 1931 he started working as a Moksha teacher in Saransk komvuz (Communist High School, today's Mordovian State University), Saransk Pedagogical Institute (today's Evsevʹev Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute) and Research Institute for Mordvinian Culture (today's Mordovian Scientific Research Institute of Language, Literature and Economy). His first Moksha-Russian dictionary with grammar was issued in 1931. He used plausible neologisms (e.g. Moksha terms for parts of speech, socio-political terms etc.) and prepared first school textbooks in Moksha literary language which were issued in 1933–1934. He died in 1935. Aftermath of korenizatsiya After the end of korenizatsiya course by 1938 the new and old terms were banned and replaced with abundance of Russian loans. As well as school textbooks and education in Moksha language except for 1-4 years of study in Elementary schools in order to help children shift to Russian as language of instruction. All the Moksha books, journals and newspapers were withdrawn from the libraries. Some Moksha and other Finno-Ugric languages books, journals and manuscripts were digitalised in 21th century and accessible at National Library of Finland. Family Iosif Cherapkin spouse's name was Lukeria. They married after he returned from Russo-Japanese War. They had 11 children (including 3 children of his deceased brother Grigoriy): Nikolay, Iosif, Agrippina, Anna, Ekaterina (other names are unknown).

Jessica Mak is a video game developer and musician who developed the games Everyday Shooter and Sound Shapes. Mak was featured in Annapurna Interactive's developer showcase. Career In 2012, Mak released Sound Shapes with Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, becoming one of the PlayStation Vita’s standout gems with an unforgettable soundtrack. Everyday Shooter looks like a colorful, modern day Asteroids; however, the game adds music into the mix by combining the chaotic blasting with procedurally-generated guitar riffs. Everyday Shooter won two awards at Independent Games Festival and Sony published the game on PlayStation Network. Everyday Shooter appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. Mak followed the classic model of the starving artist to create "Everyday Shooter" with a cheap electric guitar and an out of date computer. Mak is working with Annapurna Interactive on a new project, announced during the developer showcase. It gives off light Rez vibes.

Tamāio was a Maori rangatira (chieftain) of the Tainui tribal confederation, based at Kāwhia in Waikato, New Zealand. He was the first chieftain to lead a war-party inland from Kāwhia, in a war against Ngāti Hā, sometime around the middle of the sixteenth century. Life Tamāio's father was Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā, son of Whatihua (through whom he was a male-line descendant of Hoturoa, the captain of the Tainui) and Rua-pū-tahanga of Ngāti Ruanui (through whom he was a descendant of Turi, the captain of the Aotea canoe). Tamāio's mother was Te Kete-kura, who was also descended from Hoturoa on her father's side and from the Tokomaru on her mother's side. He had two half-brothers, Hotunui, who was born after Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā had moved to south Taranaki, and Mōtai. War with Ngāti Hā There was a tribe called Ngāti Hā, led by three chiefs, Hā-nui ('Big Hā'), Hā-roa ('Long Hā'), and Hā-kūhā-nui ('Big-thigh Hā'), who had been driven out of the Taupo region by Ngāti Tūwharetoa and headed west, establishing a village on the Mōkau River, upstream from Puketutu. Tamāio's cousin Rereahu, one of the chieftains of Tainui in southern Waikato noticed the Ngāti Hā at Te Tīroa while he was foraging for black ponga shoots and reported to Tamāio that they were coming to seize the land. Therefore, Tamāio raised a war party and advanced on the Ngāti Hā village. Since the village was too well-defended to take by force, Tamāio devised a stratagem. He had his party march up onto a hill that was visible from the Ngāti Hā village, then down into a valley that was out of sight, before returning to the hill with their cloaks turned inside out. This was repeated three times and led the Ngāti Hā to believe that Tamāio's war party was much larger than it actually was, so they abandoned the location without a fight, fleeing back to Te Tīroa. Tamāio pursued Ngāti Hā to Te Tīroa, which was also too well-defended to besiege. Tamāio therefore pretended to encamp on one side of the village and then sent a group of his troops around to the woods on the other side of the village, with their weapons tied to the side of their bodies that was not visible from the village. Believing them to be unarmed men collecting firewood, the three chiefs of Ngāti Hā sallied forth from the village with their warriors and were killed. The remaining Ngāti Hā fled, splitting into two groups, one of which went to Taupo, while the other went to Waimiha and then on to Ōngarue, establishing a fortress where the Ōngārue River meets the Whanganui River (modern Taumarunui). Tamāio pursued the latter group, but their chief Te Hoata came to meet him and negotiated a peace by marrying his daughter Hinemata to Tamāio. Family Tamāio and Hinemata had a daughter, Rangi-ānewa, who married her cousin Rereahu and had many children. Sources The story is reported by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, based on a version told to him by his uncle Te Hurinui Te Wano before 1911. The raid is also referred to in evidence presented to the Otorohanga Land Court by Te Naunau Hīkaka on 15 December 1892.

Exploration is an album by trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III. It was recorded in June 2004, and was released by Capri Records later that year. On the album, Moncur is joined by saxophonists Gary Bartz, Gary Smulyan, and Billy Harper, trumpeter Tim Hagans, trombonist Dave Woodley, horn player John Clark, bassist Ray Drummond, and drummer Andrew Cyrille. The music was arranged by Mark Masters. It was Moncur's first album after a lengthy hiatus, during which he wrote, taught, and dealt with dental issues. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Dental problems resulted in Moncur only playing once in a great while in the 1990s. He had been in obscurity for quite awhile when he was contacted by arranger Mark Masters for the Exploration project. Fortunately Moncur's playing proved to still be in his prime. Masters wrote sympathetic charts for many of the trombonist's finest pieces, utilizing an all-star nonet that could really dig into the inside/outside music... This CD overall is very rewarding, a dream project for those who have long admired the underrated Grachan Moncur. The musicians have their solos, there are both written and improvised ensembles and Moncur plays wonderfully throughout. This set, which sums up Grachan Moncur's career definitively, is a gem." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and stated: "This session... brings back into focus a major compositional figure... the emphasis as ever falls on the very fine writing and on a band of equally undersung players." Writing for All About Jazz, Clifford Allen commented: "Though Moncur's music gives itself well to loose improvisational settings, wherein the soloists and group are highly liberated, the cohesive and tightly arranged nature of these readings brings out their inherent logic and structure in addition to their springboard-like qualities. It is both a testament to the pieces themselves and the empathy of this group (many of whom had not played together prior to rehearsals) that Exploration is as seamless as it is." In a JazzTimes review, Harvey Siders remarked: "Moncur shows a youthful vigor in the title tune, exploring the tune's whole-tone structure with his velvety tone. 'Monk in Wonderland' captures Thelonious' staccato humor, providing Smulyan with his best solo moments. 'Love and Hate,' one of Moncur's darkest ballads, gives him a chance to show his highly personal side as soloist, and tenorist Harper matches the trombonist in introspection. 'New Africa,' a three-part suite, is also dominated by Moncur and Harper, but more interesting are the ensemble writing/playing and the strong walking by Drummond, free to roam in the pianoless environment. 'Excursion' is a nonstop free ensemble with more tonality than anarchy. Just about everyone solos in 'Frankenstein', with colorful statements coming from French hornist Clark." Peter Marsh, writing for the BBC, stated: "this is a fine record. Bristling with intelligence, good humour and swing, Moncur's music stands the test of time; something like 'Monk in Wonderland' should be a standard by now. Nice to see him back..."

His alleged father Wolfgang von Graben (1465-1521) was recorded in Holland in 1483, and that he had Pieter as a son. It cannot be determined whether Pieter was born in Amsterdam. Biographical cornerstones of his life cannot be determined, but it is reported that he married Griet Pietersdr Berents in 1512, a woman whose family came from the patriciate of Amsterdam and the low nobility of the area. She may was a daughter of Berend Berends, in 1509 advisor of Amsterdam, himself a son or second line descendant (grandson, nephew) of Jan Berents, Lord of Randenbroek, the son of Wouter Berensz and his wife Dieuwer Willemsdr de Grebber (born around 1385 or later), called Berents, of the De Grebber family, baljuws of the Waterland. The Berents family inherited the fief Randenbroek from the De Grebber. Griet Pietersdr Berents came from the female line of this family, and through the marriage of her ancestor Willem Grebber Jonge Willem Grebberszoon (born around 1362–1434; father of Dieuwer Willemsdr de Grebber) to Lijsbeth Willemsdr Eggert (born around 1390 or later; also named Imme Eggert), she was also a descendant of Lijsbeths father Willem Eggert (1360-1417), stadholder of Holland. Pieter and Griet had one son, Jan Pietersz Graeff, who continued the family line in Amsterdam. His coat of arms from 1542 or 1543 shows the shovel of the Von Graben and the swan of the De Grebber family. About the family crest of Pieter's wife Griet: Jan Berents, Lord of Randenbroek, the ancestor of Griet Pietersdr Berents, had a coat of arms which hangs in a chapel in the Nieuwe Kerk of Amsterdam. It shows a quartered shield with the arms of the Berents, De Grebber, Eggert and Boel (Boelens Loen). During the 15th and 16th centuries, these families were at the head of the Amsterdam patriciate and, with the exception of the Boelens, belonged to the knightly nobility.

Theodor was a captain in the Schutztruppe of German East Africa and, after retiring from military service in 1913, owned a coffee plantation in the Usambara Mountains in northeast Tanganyika. Her maternal grandfather was Michael Jebsen, a shipowner and politician. In 1910, Gertrud became an older sister when her brother Friedrich was born. In 1913, her younger brother Kai-Uwe was born, who would go on to become Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein and President of the Bundestag. Gertrud first attended school at a missionary school in Hohenfriedeberg, where she began drawing.

The family moved to Germany and settled in Glücksburg. Education After her family moved to Germany, Gertrud passed her university entrance exams in Flensburg. Between 1928 and 1933, Gertrud von Hassel studied at the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg, the Kunsthochschule Kassel, and Werkkunstschule Dortmund.

Francesco I Ventimiglia (1285-2 January 1338) was an Italian nobleman and politician. He inherited the title of Count of Geraci. Biography The Ventimiglia of Sicily putatively derive from a noble Frank or Lombard family, descendants of Berengar II of Italy, and ruling the county in Ventimiglia (Liguria) until 1180 when a branch moved to Sicily. Francesco inherited the title of Count of Geraci from his father, Enrico II. In 1315, he wed Costanza Chiaramonte Mosca, daughter of Manfredi, count of Modica. However ten years later, he repudiated his wife as barren. He remarried with a noblewoman from the Antiochia family, counts of Capizzi. However, a feud with the Chiaramonte family would contribute to his ultimate downfall. Francesco served king Frederick III of Sicily as ambassador to the papal court in Avignon. He fought in Marseille for the Anjou forces. In 1318, he served in a mission to negotiate peace with James II of Aragon. In 1336–1337, he briefly served King Frederick as main Chamberlain or minister, but upon Frederick's death, Peter II of Aragon favored the Palizzi and Chiaramonte families. Francesco's son, called Franceschello, and his secretary, on a mission to the King's court in Palermo, were imprisoned and the secretary was tortured to confess that Francesco and Federico Antiochia were complicit in a plot against King Peter. The King and his allies forces, including the Chiaramonte, besieged the castle of Geraci, to which Ventimiglia had retired. The facts of his death are unclear, but legend holds he attempted to flee with his weapon and either fell down a cliff or was stabbed (or both) by Francesco di Valguernera, Lord of Godrano. His properties were confiscated but in 1354 returned to two of his children. Francesco was buried in the church of San Bartolomeo in Geraci Siculo.

The Kseniinsky Institute for Noble Maidens () is a former women's educational institution of the Russian Empire, part of the department of Institutions of Empress Maria, which existed from 1894 to 1918 in St. Petersburg. History On 25 July 1894, by decree of Emperor Alexander III, in commemoration of the marriage of Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna with Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, the Kseniinsky Institute for Noble Maidens was established. The institute was created as a women's educational institution for the education and upbringing of orphans and half-orphans from noble families. The institute was part of the department of institutions of Empress Maria. The Kseniinsky Institute was given the Nicholas Palace, which had previously been owned by Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich. The palace was built from 1853 to 1861 by the architect Andrei Stackenschneider and his assistants Karl Ziegler and August Lange. At the palace there was an arena and a church, created by the architect N. V. Sultanov and consecrated on 12 February 1906 in the name of the Joy of All Who Sorrow icon, with a basement like a cave of the Empty tomb. From 1894 to 1895, for the needs of the institute, the building was rebuilt under the guidance of architects R. A. Gedike and I. A. Stefanits. On the first floor there was an apartment of the head of the institute, an office and living quarters for teachers. The two-height Banquet Hall was divided by a ceiling into two rooms. A stage for performances was set up in the lower one, and dormitories for pupils in the upper one. The classrooms are located on the second floor. The stable was rebuilt into a dining room, the arena was rebuilt into bedrooms. Architectural work cost the treasury 700,000 rubles. On 25 March 1895, the Kseniinsky Institute was solemnly opened, the ceremony was attended by Emperor Nicholas II, who presented the temple in the name of the icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow” with a sacristy from the cover on the coffin of his father Alexander III. In the Kseniinsky Institute, according to the Regulations approved by Emperor Alexander III, half-orphans and orphans of personal and hereditary nobles, headquarters and chief officers, generals and civil ranks who did not have the necessary funds to support their daughters were accepted at the expense of the treasury. Children of nobles (both hereditary and personal), who were not in the service, were accepted only as scholarships or for a fee. When entering the institute, it was necessary to be able to write and read in Russian, French and German, as well as to know the set of basic prayers. The Kseniinsky Institute was designed for three hundred and fifty pupils, in terms of its status it was lower than the Smolny Institute of Noble Maidens. The students of the institute included 175 paid boarders and 175 government boarders. Three hundred schoolgirls over ten years old were placed in the building of the institute, and fifty boarders aged eight to ten years old were placed in the juvenile department of the Nikolaev Orphan's Institute. The ten-year course of study at the institute included three professional and seven general classes. In the three professional classes, two departments were created: fine needlework and counters, clerks and accountants. The difference between the Ksenia Institute and other institutes for noble maidens was that the pupils of this institute were taught to do much of what was done by servants at other institutes: they sewed and mended linen, made their own beds and kept their shoes in order, and from among high school students kitchen and storeroom attendants were appointed. Since 1914, during the First World War, the number of pupils was three hundred and eight pupils, in 1915 - three hundred and forty-four pupils, in 1916 - three hundred and forty-eight pupils. On 4 March 1918, the last graduation of the Ksenia Institute took place and the remaining boarders were transferred to the building of the Nikolaev Orphan Institute. After the October Revolution, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, the building of the Ksenin Institute was given to trade union organizations and received the name "Palace of Labor".

Washington Graded School is a historic school located in Rappahannock County, Virginia. It was constructed around 1923 as a two-teacher school. The building is a "Rosenwald School". Rosenwald schools refer to those buildings constructed for the education of African-American students, with financial support and plans provided by the Rosenwald Fund. Julius Rosenwald, a Chicago philanthropist and president of Sears, Roebuck and Company, along with Booker T. Washington, the principal of Tuskegee Institute, worked with Black communities across the south to build more than 5,000 schools for Black children. Built in 79 localities in Virginia, about half shared the Washington School two-teacher design. The Washington School, which closed in 1963, retains the early look and feel of its rural setting, and exhibits historic integrity of design, workmanship, and materials. Washington School was built in 1924 after the Parents’ Civic League, a local African-American organization, donated land to the school district. Financial contributions to construct the two-teacher school came from the Black community ($1,200), the county ($1,600), and the Julius Rosenwald Fund ($700), which also supplied the building plans, according to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. The school has been designated as a Virginia Historic Landmark and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in January 2019.

Hotunui was a Maori rangatira (chieftain) of the Tainui tribal confederation of Waikato, New Zealand. Through his son Marutūāhu he is the ancestor of four tribes of the Hauraki Gulf: Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Rongoū, Ngāti Tamaterā, and Ngāti Whanaunga. He probably lived in the latter half of the sixteenth century. Life According to the Tainui traditions reported by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, Hotunui was the son of Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā, son of Whatihua (through whom he was a male-line descendant of Hoturoa, the captain of the Tainui) and Rua-pū-tahanga of Ngāti Ruanui (through whom he was a descendant of Turi, the captain of the Aotea canoe). He had two half-brothers, Tamāio and Mōtai. Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā went to live in south Taranaki, the homeland of his mother, settling at Taukōkako, near Taiporohēnui, where Hotonui was born. Ngāti Maru tradition appears to identify Hotunui with Hoturoa, but while Jones concedes that Hotunui may be an alternative name for Hoturoa, he insists that the father of Marutūāhu is a different, later individual. Marriage to Mihi-rāwhiti When Hotonui grew up, he married a lady from Kāwhia, Mihi-rāwhiti (perhaps originally named Whaea-tapoko) daughter of Māhanga (son of Tūheita, rival of Kōkako and a descendant of Hoturoa), and they split their time between Taranaki and Kāwhia. Their first two sons, Manu-kōpiri and Maru-wharanui, were born in south Taranaki. During a stay in Kāwhia, some of Māhanga's kumara were stolen and Hotonui's footprints were found outside, so he was accused of the theft and he angrily left. Mihi-rāwhiti was pregnant at the time and Hotonui instructed her to name the child Maru-tūahu if it was a boy and Pare-tūahu if it was a girl. In the end she had a boy. Hotunui settled at Whakatīwai on the Hauraki Gulf, where he married a local woman. According to Pei Te Hurinui Jones, she was a sister of the local chief Te Whata (or Te Whatu). According to a Hauraki Ngāti Maru account reported by John White, she was Waitapu, daughter of Rua-hiore. Journey of Maru-tūahu When Maru-tūahu grew up, he set off for Hauraki in search of his father. Along the way he was met by two daughters of Te Whata, Hine-rehua (or Hine-urunga) and Pare-moeahu, who both instantly decided that they wanted to marry him. After they had discovered who he was, Pare-moeahu ran to Hotonui and told him of his son's arrival. Maru-tūahu subsequently married her. According to Pei Te Hurinui Jones Hine-rehua married Hotunui's other son Pākā, but Ngāti Maru tradition says that she also married Maru-tūahu. Family and descendants Hotunui and Mihi-rāwhiti had three children: Manu-kōpiri, who was born in South Taranaki, and settled along the Whanganui River.

The Ngāti Maru of Hauraki say that he is the ancestor of the Ngāti Maru of Taranaki, but they themselves say he had a different parentage.

Neoprotoparmelia paulii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Kenya, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Víctor Jiménez Rico, Helge Thorsten Lumbsch, and Garima Singh. The type specimen was collected in the Nuu Hills (former Mwingi District, Eastern Province) at an altitude of about ; here it was found growing on sandstone in an inselberg with dry woodland. The lichen is only known from the type locality, a montane ecosystem dominated by shrubs and trees from the genera Acacia, Combretum, and Terminalia. Neoprotoparmelia paulii contains several secondary compounds that can be detected using the technique thin-layer chromatography, including atranorin, α–collatolic acid, α–alectoronic acid, and traces of other chemically related substances. The specific epithet paulii honours Kenyan lichenologist Paul Kirika, who collected the type material along with Lumbsch.

3 Jackson is a trolleybus line operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway. Route description From the outbound terminal at Presidio Avenue and California Street, buses loop around the block via Walnut and Sacramento back to Presidio and run north to Jackson Street. The line turns on Jackson to Fillmore Street and runs south to Sutter Street. Outbound buses operate on Sutter from the inbound terminal at Sansome Street. Inbound buses turn off Sutter at Laguna then eastward on Post until Kearny and turning back via Bush and Sansome. History The Sutter Street Railway was originally a horsecar line, opened in 1866, which was converted to cable car operation in 1877. In 1902 the company was consolidated into United Railroads of San Francisco which later became the Market Street Railway. After 1909, the line was designated the 3 Sutter–Jackson. Muni took over the line in 1944. Streetcar service ended on July 3, 1949, with interim diesel bus service until the line was converted to trolleybus operation on January 21, 1951. The line was discontinued amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Neoprotoparmelia plurisporibadia is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is found in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where it grows on granite rocks in low, open mountainous areas. Taxonomy Neoprotoparmelia plurisporibadia 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 near Itapuã State Park (Rio Grande do Sul) at an altitude of about . Here, in this low open mountain area, it grows on granite rocks. The specific epithet plurisporibadia refers to its multispored asci (pluri, "many"; spori, "spores") and to the colour brown (badia, "dark brown"). Description The lichen has an light brown to dark brown, areolate thallus, with a thin (or absent) black prothallus around the margin. The apothecia are round (later becoming compressed), measuring 0.4–1.3 mm in diameter, with a smooth, glossy, dark brown disc. The asci (spore-producing structures) are 95 by 15 μm, and they contain about 50 spores. The ascospores measure 7.0–8.0 by 2.5–3.5 μm. Neoprotoparmelia plurisporibadia contains alectoronic acid, a secondary compound that can be detected using the technique thin-layer chromatography.

Neoprotoparmelia siamisidiata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Thailand, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Garima Singh and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by Harrie Sipman in the Medicinal Garden of Doi Suthep–Pui National Park (Chiang Mai) at an altitude of about ; here it was found growing on the bark of Cinchona pubescens. The specific epithet refers to its type locality (biology) (Siam is a historical name for Thailand) and the presence of isidia. The asci of this species contain 16 ascospores; this feature helps to distinguish this lichen from the lookalike N. brasilisidiata. secondary compounds that occur in N. siamisidiata, detectable using the technique thin-layer chromatography, include alectoronic acid (major), and minor to trace amounts of dehydroalectoronic acid and β-alectoronic acid.

Una Joan Croll (née Holliday; 15 June 1928 – 14 February 2022) was an Australian physician and radiologist who specialised in ultrasound and mammography. Outside medicine, she was an environmental activist, one of the 13 women who saved Kelly's Bush in Sydney. Early life and education Una Joan Holliday was born in Sydney, New South Wales, on 15 June 1928. As an undergraduate at the University of Sydney, she competed in rowing. After completing her medical degree in 1952, she briefly worked as a pathologist in the Northern Territory but returned to Sydney afterwards. In 1955, she married Frank James Croll, a fellow medical student who specialized in cardiology, and subsequently spent thirteen years as a full-time mother to her four children, delaying her career in medicine till she was 47 years old. Environmental activism In the early 1970s, Croll became one of the 13 women environmental activists known as the "Battlers for Kelly's Bush", who campaigned against urban development into a parcel of native bushland by the Parramatta River in Hunters Hill, a suburb west of Sydney. Their efforts led to the first enforcement of a Green Ban. This successful preservation of Kelly's Bush paved the way for a number of similar Green-Ban actions, impacting land use and redevelopment plans in and around Sydney. With no further real estate developments permitted on site, Kelly's Bush was later purchased by the government to become public open space, to be cared for by local volunteers known as "Friends of Kelly's Bush", with Croll as the inaugural president in 1996. She later remarked that her participation in saving Kelly's Bush as the "the most important thing I ever did." In 2021, she attended the 50th anniversary celebrations the year before her death. Career in medicine In 1975, Croll was appointed to run Sydney's Breast Health Screening Program, and she became the medical director of the Sydney Square Breast Clinic in 1978. In 1994, she took a position with the Central Sydney Area Health Service, while continuing as consultant radiologist at the Sydney Square Breast Clinic. Over the years, the clinic developed into a prominent teaching centre in radiology, where Croll, as one of Australia's pioneers of mammography, promoted the introduction of breast ultrasound and mammography screening, and helped establish the national breast cancer screening program in Australia. Croll was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in the 1996 Australia Day Honours for "service to medicine, particularly in the fields of mammography and ultrasound". She then retired in 1997. Personal life and death Croll was known as a prolific writer of letters to The Sydney Morning Herald. Her letters about the environment and various other issues were regularly published by the newspaper. Joan and Frank Croll were art collectors and the couple were members of an art-buying syndicate of Australian art connoisseurs and investors. Parts of their collection have been donated to art galleries, including a 1976 portrait of Joan painted by John Brack on display at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. Joan Croll died on 14 February 2022, at the age of 93. Her husband Frank predeceased her in 2003.

Twosday is the name given to Tuesday, February 22, 2022, and an unofficial one-time secular observance held on that day, characterized as a fad. The name is a portmanteau of two and tuesday, deriving from the fact that the digits of the date form a numeral palindrome marked by exclusivity or prevalence of the digit 2—when written in different numerical date formats, such as: 22/02/2022, 22/2/22 and 2/22/22. It is also an ambigram. According to University of Portland professor Aziz Inan, the palindrome is one of the “ubiquitous palindromes”, as it retains its defining characteristics globally, despite the differences in national date formats. In countries that apply the ISO 8601 international standard for the calendar, there is an additional congruence inasmuch as Tuesday is the second day of the week. Anticipation The attraction to the date is due to apophenia. Twosday was cited as an example of humans being conditioned under societal institutions to notice only some while ignoring other coincidences that surround them. Attraction to numerology was cited as a reason as well. In 2016, the website 22-2-22.com was created to count down to the date. Snopes wrote about Twosday in 2018, in one of its articles debunking false rumors about special dates—the claim about Twosday was rated as "True", but the concept was criticized insofar "2/22/2022 certainly features a number of 2s, but isn’t it fudging things to use the 22nd day of a year that includes a number other than two?" Events The interest surrounding the date was noted as a social media phenomenon, with the hashtag #22222 receiving 58 million views on TikTok. Google marked the date with an Easter egg. Twosday was marked by festivities in several cities: In Sacramento, California, 222 couples were married, in a collective wedding at the California State Capitol. In Las Vegas, Nevada, weddings were performed at the Harry Reid International Airport. It was suggested that the number of weddings may have broken the record for the most weddings in a single day in Clark County, Nevada. In Singapore, 500 couples were scheduled to be wedded, nine times more than the usual. An American food holiday "National Margarita Day" coincided with Twosday, and various thematic activities relating to Twosday took place, mostly in the form of sales promotions (such as 22% discounts). Various businesses engaged in other Twosday-specific sales promotions. In schools around the United States, children buried time capsules, and did other activities themed on the number two. Other Twosdays The subsequent Twosday in the United States date notation (i.e. another 2/22/22 that falls on a Tuesday) is February 22, 2422. In a year that ends with 22 (which could be 2122, 2222, etc.), that is the fist subsequent occurence of February 22 being on a Tuesday, per the 400-year Gregorian calendar cycle. "Threesday" In relation to Twosday, Thursday, March 3, 2033 (3/3/33) was named "Threesday"; it is not palindromic in the eight-digit format. In popular culture Late-night talk show hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon made references to Twosday in their programmes. Jimmy Kimmel Live! featured a Twosday-themed introductory sing-and-dance segment (calling the show "your second favorite show"), while Colbert conversed with a 2-shaped puppet.

Betty Asunta Tejada Soruco (born 5 June 1959) is a Bolivian ecologist, lawyer, and politician who served as president of the Chamber of Deputies from 2013 to 2014. A member of the Movement for Socialism, she served as plurinominal member of the Chamber of Deputies from Santa Cruz from 2010 to 2015. Prior to that, she served in the same position from 2002 to 2006 and as an alternate member of the Chamber of Deputies from Santa Cruz under Jorge Landívar Roca from 1997 to 2002, on behalf of the right-wing populist New Republican Force. Early life and career Betty Tejada was born on 5 June 1959 to a wealthy family in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Upon completing primary studies in that city, Tejada moved to La Paz, where she studied law at the Higher University of San Andrés. After the brief suspension of her classes due to the 1980 coup d'état of Luis García Meza, she graduated with a diploma in ecological economics. After that, Tejada returned to Santa Cruz, where she devoted her career to social services and environmental activities. During this time, Tejada worked to channel funds for the Modelo daycare center in the La Ramada barrio and founded the Santa Cruz Somos Todos urban movement. Additionally, she is the founder of multiple environmental groups, including the Salpi Collective, dedicated to conserving the Piray River. Together with other women's rights activists, she co-founded the Santa Cruz Women's Christian Association and founded the Nuevo Poder feminist group. Tejada married Ramón Prada, who served as prefect of the Santa Cruz Department during the administration of Hugo Banzer. Together they had three children: María Cecilia, María Laura, and María Nela. The latter is the incumbent minister of the presidency, serving in the administration of Luis Arce since 2020. Chamber of Deputies Alternate deputy (1997–2002) Tejada's entry into politics coincided with the country's return to democracy in the mid-1980s. She became a supporter of the political line of the Trotskyist union leader Lech Walessa, who said: "Neither left nor right, forward", a view that she states "has been my political militancy ever since". She joined the New Republican Force (NFR) and was elected as an alternate deputy for Santa Cruz under Roberto Landívar Roca in the 1997 general elections. First term (2002–2006) In early 2000, during the NFR's internal democratization process, the party appointed Tejada as its departmental chief in Santa Cruz. Once proper internal elections were held the following year, she was voted into a full term in that position. In the 2002 general elections, Tejada was elected as a titular member of the Chamber of Deputies for Santa Cruz. However, she questioned the decision of the NFR's leader, Manfred Reyes Villa, to ally the party with the abortive government of Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada. Her presence as one of multiple openly critical voices against party leadership led the NFR to support her ouster as departmental head through the election of Jaime Rivero Patiño in 2004. Tejada refused to recognize Rivero's "illegal election", claiming that her functions were not set to expire for another two years. Tejada's public disagreements with Reyes Villa resulted in the ultimate rupture between herself and the NFR when the party expelled her from its ranks. For the duration of her term, she supported the administration of Sánchez de Lozada's successor, Carlos Mesa, who attempted to govern without partisan support, instead seeking to attract individual legislators to form a parliamentary majority, though he was ultimately unsuccessful. Second term (2010–2015) In 2005, Tejada became one of several former rightists who joined the ranks of the emergent Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP). Though she was absent from the 2005 elections, Tejada was convinced by former ombudsman Ana María Romero de Campero to run as a candidate for the MAS in the 2009 elections. After being elected, Tejada served for three consecutive terms on the Commission for Autonomies and Decentralization between 2010 and 2012. In January 2013, the MAS caucus chose not to ratify Rebeca Delgado as president of the Chamber of Deputies due to disagreements over an asset forfeiture bill. After four hours of extensive debate, the MAS elected Tejada to succeed Delgado on 17 January. She was sworn in the following day. Tejada's management lasted just over a year, and she was succeeded by Marcelo Elío Chávez on 21 January 2014. Nearing the end of her term, she sought to run as a MAS candidate for Santa Cruz city councilor. However, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) ruled that all potential candidates must have lived in the districts in which they were running for at least two years, a fact that disqualified most incumbent deputies and senators from running in the 2015 regional elections. Her disapproval of the TSE's decision led Tejada to resign her seat on 2 January 2015, a few weeks before the new Legislative Assembly was sworn in. Santa Cruz Municipal Council Despite not being allowed to stand as a candidate, Tejada nonetheless had the opportunity to join the Santa Cruz Municipal Council. At the recommendation of Mayor Percy Fernández, Angélica Sosa, president of the municipal council, appointed Tejada as her personal advisor. The decision was somewhat surprising as Tejada's party, the MAS, was the minority opposition bloc in the municipal council. Though Tejada ruled out joining the ranks of Fernández and Sosa's Santa Cruz Para Todos party, the MAS nonetheless affirmed that she no longer had "[any] connection with the organic structure of the party".

By a royal resolution of 5 May 1859, the Helgeland District Court was divided into Søndre Helgeland District Court and Nordre Helgeland District Court. Later, another royal resolution of 11 July 1919, the Søndre Helgeland District Court was divided into Brønnøy District Court and Alstahaug District Court. On 20 December 2020, the Storting voted to merge the three courts back together. So, this court was re-established on 26 April 2021 after the old Alstahaug District Court, Brønnøy District Court and Rana District Court were all merged into one court. The new district court system continues to use the courthouses from the predecessor courts.

He was also publisher and co-editor of a Black weekly newspaper The New Jersey Record. He was known for his "flamboyant personality and fiery rhetoric". Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson called him "a man who paved the way for black people to be elected to public office." Irvine Turner Boulevard, a large street in Newark, is named after him. Early life Irvine Turner was born in Newark in 1914 and educated in the city, including at Barringer High School. He attended the New York School of Journalism and joined the staff of the New Jersey Guardian. When the Guardian suspended publication he co-founded The New Jersey Record with Fred R. Clark. In 1941 was appointed a member of the Newark Fair Employment Practices Committee under Mayor Vincent J. Murphy, becoming its youngest member. In the same year he served on a committee to study one way streets under Public Safety Director John B Keenan. Turner ran unsuccessfully for City Commissioner in 1949 and 1953. 1954 election In 1954 Newark adopted a new government system involving a Municipal Council and five wards. Turner ran against Roger Yancy a lawyer advanced by the professional African American community and Italian Johnny Savado. Turner, as a newspaperman, was popular in the community. He also had financial support from Jewish gangster Abner Zwillman and Mayor Ralph A. Villani He had support from the unions. Civil Rights Congress and Negro Labor Vanguard. The New Jersey Afro American, however, endorsed Yancey. Turner won the election beating Savado by 2-1, with Yancy in third. Historian Robert Curvin wrote, "With his victory, a common man with intriguing connections and one-time neighborhood hustler was transformed into one of the most important politicians in New Jersey." Amiri Baraka wrote, 'Mr. Turner's breakthrough into American politics was made possible by getting into political shape the Black Central Ward and establishing a leadership category for Black People going for the Democratic party". Council career Cummings was elected again through the 1966 election. During his career, Turner aligned with Mayors Meyer C. Ellenstein and Ralph A. Villani. He helped appoint African Americans for Newark city positions, using these jobs in exchange for the support of voters which he could then provide to other politicians including Hugh Joseph Addonizio. He pushed for more opportunities for African Americans in employment, housing, the police force and government. He had a wide-ranging career and was involved with many issues in the Central Ward and citywide. He criticized the white establishment including slumlords and officials. During his career he was featured in national magazines like Jet and Ebony. However, by the 1960s, many in Newark were looking for change. George C. Richardson, under the banner of the United Freedom Democratic Party. ran against Turner in 1966, along with Kenneth A. Gibson's first bid for Mayor. Richardson received only 10,000 votes. In 1967, Amiri Baraka wrote, "Where once [Turner] offered some actual inspiration to Black People in Newark, now he represents the impotence and incompetence of one traditional area of Negro leadership." As new organizers began to present a challenge to established politicians Turner began criticizing the civil rights activists in Newark. He said, "Violence, rash words, or insulting remarks are not going to get my race any further ahead than they have come.” In December 1969, Turner was indicted along with Mayor Hugh Joseph Addonizio. In 1970, with growing opposition to the mayor, Dennis Westbrooks ran against Turner, on the ticket of Kenneth A. Gibson. He beat Turner in a runoff.

Scandentia is an order of small mammals. Members of this order are called scandentians, or treeshrews. They are primarily found in Southeast Asia, with the Madras treeshrew instead in mainland India. They are all around a similar size, ranging from the plus tail Bornean smooth-tailed treeshrew to the plus tail striped treeshrew, and generally live in forests. No scandentian species have a population estimate, though the Nicobar treeshrew is considered endangered. The twenty-three extant species of Scandentia are grouped into two families, Tupaiidae, which contains twenty-two species within three genera, and Ptilocercidae, which contains a single species, the pen-tailed treeshrew. Only a few extinct scandentian species have been discovered, though due to ongoing research and discoveries the exact number and categorization is not fixed. Conventions Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the scandentian's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species unless otherwise noted. All extinct species or subspecies listed alongside extant species went extinct after 1500 CE, and are indicated by a dagger symbol "".

Cave dwelling Jews (also cave Jews or troglodyte Jews, a calque from French "Juifs troglodytes") was Jewish communities who dwelled in caves dug in mountains. Best known communities of this type were found in the Gharyan Plateau ("Jebel Gharyan") area, Nafusa Mountains, Libya, therefore the term Gharyan Jews is commonly applied to them. These communities no longer exist today. History Jewish tribes living in underground caves were known for centuries in Morocco, Algeria and in Tripolitania. Their homes an synagogues were in caves, only cemeteries were on the surface. Jewish cave dwellers of Libya are known since at least before 70 C.E., when Romano-Jewish historian Josephus described the Troglodytis When Spain invaded Tripoli in 1510, many Jews flew from there to Gharyan (among other places), and these Jews brought with them Sephardic traditions. The information about the Ghayan Jews started appearing since mid-19th century. The main groups of Jewish cave-dwellers were in the settlements of Gharyan, Tigrena/Tigrinna, and Beni-Abbas. In 1906 archaeologist Nahum Slouschz visited the area and left a detailed account. After Libya gained independence, during 1949-1952 nearly all Jews, including Gharyan Jews, left Syria to make aliyah due to worsened conditions for the Jews, up to pogroms. At present, many cave dwellings are occupied by Libyans, who modernized the caves, including electricity, water supply and sewage disposal. There are a number of advantages in this type of dwellings. They also rent them out to tourists. Dwellings Nahum Slouschz left the following description: From time to time the keen eye discovers , amidst olive and fig trees , or near a mosque or ruins , holes open in the declivity of a hill , resembling in form the door of a cave . A little , wooden door opens before the traveler , and he enters into a kind of dark and uneven gallery , sloping all the way , to traverse which safely practice alone is essential . After a walk of fifteen to twenty metres , one descends into a kind of court , feebly lighted from above by some rays of light ; there is the stable , which precedes the central court , and which often serves as a workshop to the Jewish blacksmiths . Continually descending , a subterranean court is reached , which serves as a central dwelling , kitchen , and workshop , the compartments being in caves dug in the walls of the court , from which they receive a little light and air . The natives find subterranean life very natural and comfortable , though the traveler scarcely feels at ease . The Synagogue of the village Beni-Abbas is also situated in a cave , but the access is open and easy , and its roof is even above the level of the ground . At Tigrena a Synagogue has just been built entirely above the ground . See also Cave monastery References Further reading Maurice Roumani. "Gharian." Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World.

Death Knows No Calendar is a 1942 detective novel by the British writer John Bude. It was a stand-alone novel rather than one featuring his regular detective Superintendent Meredith. In this case the investigation is led by a former army officer Major Boddy. It takes the former of a locked room mystery with a closed circle of suspects, both popular variations of the genre during the period. Originally published by Cassell, in 2020 it was reissued by the British Library Publishing in a single edition with another Bude novel Death in White Pyjamas, as part of a series of republished crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Reviewing the novel for the Times Literary Supplement, Maurice Willson Disher wrote "There was a time when a mystery of crime detection could be casually introduced into novels as an episode. Unfortunately for Mr. Bude readers nowadays feel disappointed if a detective story does not run true to form. When the identity of his murderer ceases to be a mystery about half way through, we may feel, no doubt unfairly, that the author has simply been unable to keep it up." and concluded "Any strain upon the intellect slackens page by page". Synopsis Wealthy painter Lydia Arundel continuously flirts with the attentions of the men in the small Sussex village in which she lives. Making her potential enemies amongst a number of inhabitants, including the guilt-ridden rector who fails to get over a brief dalliance with her and a young woman who believes her fiancee is carrying on with her. When Lydia is found shot through the head in her locked studio the inquest deems it to be suicide. However retired army officer and detective fiction enthusiast Major Boddy takes up the case, with the assistance of his servant and former orderly Private Gammon. After considerable investigation, Boddy at last believes he has cracked the way the murderer has killed in the seemingly locked room. However he still has several potential candidates for murder, including Lydia's husband a failed actor who has inherited all of her money. Body's sleuthing now takes him further afield to East London and Gloucestershire as he searches for the explanation of the killing. References Bibliography Hubin, Allen J.
