Emil Löbl (February 5, 1863 in Vienna; August 26, 1942 in Vienna) was an Austrian writer and journalist.
Life
Born into a Jewish family, Löbl was the son of Isak Löbl (Herzl) and Rosalie Löbl (Neumann).
Like his older brother Leopold (1844-1907), he studied law at the University of Vienna and received his Dr. jur. degree in 1891. During his studies he was active as a journalist in the Reichsrätlichen Stenografenbüro from 1882.
From 1893 to 1898 he served in the k.k. Council of Ministers, and from 1895 as Ministerial Vice-Secretary.
He was deputy editor-in-chief at the Wiener Zeitung and from 1909 editor-in-chief. In 1917 Löbl became editor-in-chief of the NWT (Neues Wiener Tagblatt), whose circulation he was able to increase substantially. In March 1938, as Austria prepared to merge with Nazi Germany in the Anschluss, he was fired.
Löbl was married to Gisela Gisa Basseches (June 10, 1870-1942). She was deported to the Treblinka concentration camp and murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Löbl died on August 26, 1942 at the Rothschild Hospital in Vienna, which, under the Nazis, was the only hospital for Jews in Vienna.

Robert B. Simon is an American art historian and art dealer most known for rediscovering Leonado Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi.
Biography
Simon received his B.A., M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees, all from Columbia University, where his doctoral thesis focused on Bronzino’s portraits of Cosimo I de’ Medici. After graduating from Columbia, he worked as an art appraiser, researcher, and consultant of Old Master paintings. In 1997, he sold a watercolor by Richard Dadd and opened an art gallery on Upper East Side.
In 2005, Simon, with his friend and colleague, art speculator Alexander Parish, acquired Da Vinci's original Salvator Mundi, then thought to be lost, from a New Orleans auction gallery for $1,000. He brought the painting to New York University professor Dianne Dwyer Modestini for a detailed restoration, and sent it to numerous scholars for verification that the painting had belonged to Da Vinci, including Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Keith Christiansen and National Gallery director Nicholas Penny. After it as authenticated, Simon loaned the painting to a few museums before putting it on sale, only to be frustrated by museums that balked at the $100 million price tag. Eventually, Simon sold the painting to Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier for a sum of $80 million, who then sold the painting to Russian businessman Dmitry Rybolovlev for $127.5 million.
He co-authored Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi and the Collecting of Leonardo in the Stuart Courts with art historians Martin Kemp and Margaret Dalivalle. The book was by Oxford University Press in 2019. He was also featured in the 2021 documentary, The Last Leonardo.
Simon has been described as part of an elite group of curators and dealers, known as the "eyes," who carry a unique instinct that can distinguish authentic paintings from copies and spot lost treasures.

Blackbird is a song by American rock back, Alkaline Trio. It was released on July 19, 2018, as the first single from their 2018 album, Is This Thing Cursed?. The song was written by Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano, and Derek Grant.
Background
Much of the band's activities had been put on hold since their 2013 album, My Shame Is True, which had primarily been due to Skiba becoming lead guitarist and vocalist for Blink-182. When the members reconvened however, "Blackbird" was the first song they wrote together. Andriano had initially composed the music of the song, and had written politically inspired lyrics for it. However, these lyrics were scraped when he sent the music to Skiba, who rewrote the lyrics about a "lady friend of mine".
The name of the song comes from the film, Public Enemies, in which John Dillinger refers to his love interest, Billie Frechette as his "blackbird". Additionally, a song of the same name is also featured in the film:"There were just a lot of parallels with someone who I felt was a great love of my life and probably always will be. But I wrote it for her. The end.” - Matt Skiba
Release and reception
"Blackbird" released alongside the announcement of Is This Thing Cursed? on July 19, 2018.
The song was met with mainly positive reviews. Israel Daramola of Spin Magazine praised the songs melodies, calling it "a glossy, pristine pop-punk record that’s anthemic and a bit catchy in its breezy melodies." Billboard's Connor Whittum called the song "fast paced" and "guitar heavy" Ian Winwood of Kerrang! praised the lyrics, calling them "haunting, but as usual, there is a dark sense of humour at work here, too." Ryan Wyness of PunkNews compared it to the band's 2003 album, Good Mourning, feeling that it shared "the same dark, macabre aura."

The Sallie House is a house located in Atchison, Kansas. Built in the mid-1800s, it is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young girl who died in the house while undergoing surgery for appendicitis. The alleged haunting gained the house national attention after it was featured on several paranormal television shows.
History
The Sallie House was initially built in the mid-1800s, commissioned by the Finney family. It was home to Dr. Charles Finney, a local physician. Finney practiced medicine from his house, using the bottom floor as a centre for surgery and examination; there was also a bedroom that he used as an office. The Finney family lived upstairs until they moved out due to a lack of space.
The house was listed on the real estate website Zillow for $1 million in February 2016; the asking price dropped to $499,000 in August of the same year. In November 2017, the house was taken off the market.
Haunting
The Sallie House is reported to be haunted by the ghost of a young girl who died there. According to the legend, a child named Sallie was brought to Dr. Finney's house by her mother for severe abdominal pain. He thought that she had appendicitis and began to perform emergency surgery, as he believed that Sallie’s appendix was about to rupture. However, he cut into her before the anaesthetic took effect; killing her as a result.
Multiple former tenants have alleged that paranormal activity takes place in the house. It has been especially reported by male residents and visitors, some of whom have claimed to have been scratched until they bled, which has led to Sallie being dubbed “The Man Hating Ghost.”
In the 1990s, the house was featured on the paranormal television show Sightings. On 17 January 2015, it appeared on an episode of the Travel Channel series Ghost Adventures.

Mississippi Highway 547 (MS 547) is a state highway in southwestern Mississippi. The highway runs about long on a southeast to northwest direction, signed as a north–south route. It connects MS 28 at Allen with Pattison and U.S. Route 61 (US 61) in southern Port Gibson.
Route description
MS 547 begins at a four-way intersection with MS 28 and Ridgewood Lane in Allen, an unincorporated settlement in southwestern Copiah County. The two-lane state highway heads northwest through wooded lands (some of which officially part of Homochitto National Forest) with some open fields present along the road. After about , the highway enters Claiborne County. Continuing generally on a west-northwesterly course, MS 547 passes through the settlements of Burnell and Peyton and crosses Clarks Creek on a small bridge.
The highway reaches the community of Pattison. Before passing through the center of Pattison, MS 547 makes a pair of 90-degree reverse curves. Through the center of it, the highway passes a few houses, a post office, and one convenience store. Heading out of Pattison, MS 547 continues northwest staying to the south of Little Bayou Pierre. The highway passes a small unnamed residential settlement at Tillman Road. Before entering Port Gibson, MS 547 passes under Natchez Trace Parkway without an interchange or intersection and the historic McGregor house. Upon entering the city limits, it assumes the name McComb Avenue. It heads through a mostly residential neighborhood but also provides access to Chamberlain-Hunt Academy and Claiborne County Medical Center. MS 547 ends at a stop-controlled intersection with US 61 (Church Street) in the southern reaches of the city.
History
MS 547 was established in 1950 along the alignment it follows today. At the time of its formation, the road was only paved from Pattison to its northern terminus. The full length of the road was not paved until 1974. No major changes have occurred to the road or its alignment since then.

Chechen Mujahideen in Syria () — members of illegal armed sunni Islamist jihadist formations motivated by Islamic ideology, organized into military jamaats and factions, take part in the civil war in Syria, fight against the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad on the side of the Syrian opposition and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, led by Sunnis, as well as on the side of the terrorist group ISIS.
History
The first mention of armed groups of Chechen militants in Syria appeared in a number of media outlets at the end of 2011. In October 2012, some publications wrote that Chechens as part of the Syrian opposition forces of the FSA and Jabhat al-Nusra took part in an attack on the military base of the Syrian army air defense brigade near Aleppo.
Chechen jihadists began arriving in Syria en masse mainly in 2011-2015 from Chechnya, as well as from Europe, where they left during the second Chechen War, fleeing from the war, as well as from the Pankisi Gorge of Georgia, where ethnic Chechens-Kistins who emigrated there during the Caucasian War live.
Chechens occupied the second largest number among the foreign contingent of jihadists in Syria, estimates of their number range from 1,700 to 3,000 people, they played a significant role in the civil war in Syria, and several dozen well-known commanders of Syrian rebels and jihadists were Chechens by origin. Some of them were veterans of the first and second Chechen wars and used their combat experience to train and train the Syrian opposition and militants. They formed their own armed detachments and jamaats, which were also joined by other militants from the North Caucasus, as well as Syrians and jihadists from all over the Middle East.
According to representatives of the Chechen diaspora in Europe, hundreds of Chechens from Europe went to Syria to fight in the ranks of the Syrian opposition against the government army of Bashar al-Assad.
In June 2013, the leadership of the Chechen Republic officially recognized that up to 1,700 Chechen natives were howling in the Middle East region. In the same year, according to information disseminated by the militants' Internet resources, as well as in the Russian media, Rustam Gelaev, the son of the famous Chechen commander Ruslan (Khamzat) Gelaev, was killed in Syria. Rustam died fighting on the side of the Syrian opposition.
Split
Chechens mediated in the settlement of the conflict between Jabhat al-Nusra (now — Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) and the Syrian opposition, on the one hand, and with ISIS, on the other. In early November 2014, the leadership of "Jaish al-Muhajirin wal-Ansar", represented by Salahuddin Shishani, met with the leadership of ISIS in their capital Raqqa and held talks on reconciliation of the two warring parties. However, the conversation with the leadership of ISIS ended in vain. In response to the proposal of the emir of "Jaish al-Muhajirin wal-Ansar" Salahuddin Shishani to stop the war between Sunni Muslims, in particular with Islamic Jamaats such as Jabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham and others, the leadership of ISIS refused and stated that it would not stop fighting these groups, because it considers the emirs of these factions Kafirs and Murtads. After that, the leader of "Jaish al-Muhajirin wal-Ansar", Salahuddin Shishani, left Raqqa and returned to Idlib
This conflict was also reflected among the Chechen Mujahideen in Syria, in particular among the Chechen emirs, who had previously acted in alliance with each other. Some of them defected to the ISIS and took leadership positions, while some remained on the side of Jabhat al-Nusra and the Syrian opposition.
The very history of the conflict between Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS (at that time, the Islamic State of Iraq) begins at the end of 2013, when units of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) invaded Syria from the territory of Iraq during the most active phase of the civil war, when various jihadist groups and the Syrian opposition began to consistently seize cities from the government army of Bashar al-Assad. Al-Qaeda in Syria (Jabhat al-Nusra) together with the Ahrar al-Sham group played a significant role in the capture of the city of Raqqa in eastern Syria in March 2013. However, after the capture of Raqqa, the head of the Syrian wing of Al-Qaeda expressed his loyalty to the main leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and did not recognize the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (Syria) proclaimed by the leadership of the ISI in the territory controlled by Jabhat al-Nusra. After that, in February 2014, a large-scale war for spheres of influence in Syria began between the groups

The paleontological site of Cerin is a fossil deposit of the Jura Mountains located in Cerin, an hamlet belonging to the commune of Marchamp in the department of Ain. The site is internationally known for its surprising diversity.
The deposits are located in what was a tropical lagoon at the end of the Kimmeridgian age (Late Jurassic). It is dated from the Aulacostephanus pseudomutabilis biozone, whose equivalent in the Mediterranean area is the Aulacostephanus eudoxus biozone, who dates back to 153 Ma.
Situation
The paleontological site is located in Cerin, an hamlet belonging to the commune of Marchamp, in Ain. The town, belonging to the Bugey historical region, was erected at 560 meters above sea level, and is located at 20 km of Belley, 75 km of Lyon, 80 km of Grenoble and 90 km of Geneva.
Lithographic limestone
Cerin was reputed by the end of the XIXe century for the quality of its lithographic limestone. The area was, during the Late Jurassic, a tropical lagoon. Lithographic limestone is formed by sedimentation of a very thin carbonated mud deposited at the bottom of a lagoon 153 million of years ago. Those deposits are disposed in strata.
The quarry exploitation, which began in 1835 during the lithography golden age, allowed to periodically uncover prints of prehistoric animals and plants fossilized in stone. Paleontology was at its beginning and those discoveries were still little-known.
Site discovery
In 1838, thanks to the engineer Aimé Drian, a passionate amateur geologist, and lyonese geologist, among which Victor Thiollière, those fossils were discovered and the existence of the paleontological site of Cerin was revealed to the scientific world. The site obtains an international reputation and rival with the Solnhofen Limestone, in Bavaria. Until his death, Victor Thiollière never ceased to collect and study a maximum of fossils from the site, and it was, in large part, thanks to his study of the Cerin fossils that he was recognized in the palaeontology world.
His works showed the similarities of the lithographic limestones of Cerin and Solnhofen. He described several new species of fish. He published in 1854 the first part of his "Description des poissons fossiles provenant des gisements coralliens du Jura dans le Bugey" ("Description of the fossil fish from the Jura corallian deposits in the Bugey"), but died shortly before the publication of the second part, the descriptions and lithographic plates already finished.
Research on site
Researches on this Late Kimmeridgian site (Late Jurassic, around -153 Ma), from 1975 to 1995, were an unique operation and involved advanced technology. Directed by geologist from the Claude Bernard University in Lyon, it necessitated heavy equipment of civil engineering.
This operation allowed the discovery of algae, ferns, conifers, molluscs, sea urchins, starfish, crustaceans such as the holotypes of Cyclerion bourseaui and Soleryon amicalis, reptiles, fish, as well as tracks of turtles and other reptiles. A thorough study permitted to determine the age and nature of the site (a tropical lagoon 153 million of years old) and to understand the reasons of this exceptional fossilization.
A one-of-a-kind Late Jurassic fossilized track of prehistoric marine turtle was discovered in Cerin.
Fossilization process in Cerin
To understand the fossilization process in Cerin, scientists went on expedition to Aldabra in the Indian Ocean, to observe a fossilization process similar to the one who happened on the site.
153 millions of years ago, the climate was tropical. The lagoon had only few contacts with the open sea, and evaporation was intense. Terrestrial animals venturing in the lagoon shores leaved their tracks in a quickly drying mud.
During storms, a large quantity of saltwater, carrying mud, vegetal remains, and dead or alive animals, entered the lagoon ; clearwater, brought by rains and water runoff, brought as well large quantities of particulate matters. When the calm was settling, those fine particles deposited in a regular layer which carpeted the depths and covered remains and tracks.
This layer gave then birth to a strata of lithographic limestone.
When evaporation made the water level drop again, it became under oxygenated and over-concentrated on salt, which led to the death of many living beings, while protecting their bodies from scavengers. The microbial mats, who thrived in this environment, covered the corpses and vegetal remains, helping their conservation as fossils.

Bhanumati Rao (born 1923 - died 12 February 2022) (sometimes spelled as Bhanumathi) was an Indian classical dancer, teacher, and stage actress. Specializing in two forms of Indian classical dance, Kathakali and Bharatanatyam, she was also a notable actress on stage in Malayalam-language theater. She later taught classical dance and music, and in 2019, was the subject of a documentary film about her life, made by director R.V. Ramani.
Career
Rao studied dance as a child, but left India for the United Kingdom at the age of 24 to study library science. While in the United Kingdom, she began her career as a professional dancer, becoming a member of a dance group headed by Indian classical dancer Ram Gopal. As a member of Ram Gopal's troupe, she toured India and Europe in the 1940s, performing Indian classical dance and helping to raise funds for the colonial war effort. Following her marriage to Krishna Rao, she lived in New York in the 1950s, where she continued to perform, especially for visiting Indian diplomats and politicians including India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. She was instrumental in introducing Indian classical dance to international audiences, and often innovated with classical techniques, incorporating aspects of other Indian classical and folk dances into her performances.
Rao returned to India after India attained Independence, and lived in New Delhi, where she established a dance school and taught two forms of Indian classical dance; Kathakali and Bharatanatyam. During this time, she also began performing in Malayalam-language theater, and often acted, directed and wrote scripts based on Malayalam literature and stories herself. She was a notable performer, and had transitioned into performing Hindi-language theater as well, memorizing her dialogues after having them written in her native Malayalam language. She was known in particular for her performance in vidhi vesham, or comic roles. Following this, she moved to Bengaluru, where she studied classical Indian Carnatic music. Although she stopped performing dance in the 1990s, she continued to practice dance through her life, into her 90s, and in 2016, a video of Rao dancing classical Bharatanatyam at the age of 92 went viral, leading to a revived interest in her career.
Rao was active in social efforts to establish women's rights, and worked with the All India Women's Conference.
In 2019, she was the subject of a documentary film, Oh That's Bhanu, about her life. It was made by filmmaker R.V. Ramani, and documented her career in dance as well as her later struggles with memory loss. The film later won the Bala Kailasam Memorial Award 2019, and was screened at the Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image festival in 2019.
Personal life
Rao was born in Kozhikode, Kerala in 1923. She met her husband, Krishna Rao, a lawyer, while on tour in the 1940s. They had two daughters, Tara Krishna Rao, and Maya Krishna Rao, who is also a dancer.

The Ichigem Range () is a range of mountains in Magadan Oblast and Kamchatka Krai, Russian Far East.
Administratively most of the range falls within the Penzhinsky District of Kamchatka Krai, but the western end reaches into the Severo-Evensky District of Magadan Oblast.
History
The area of the Ichigem Range was first mapped by geographer and ethnologist Baron Gerhard von Maydell (1835–1894) during his pioneering research of East Siberia.
Geography
The Ichigem Range is the northwesternmost range of the Koryak Highland system. It stretches from WSW to ENE between the upper Penzhina valley to the north and the basin of the Oklan, a Penzhina right tributary, to the south. The Kolyma Mountains rise at the western limit of the range and the waterlogged lower Penzhina valley marks its eastern end.
The mountains of the Ichigem are of moderate altitude. They are covered with tundra vegetation and have a barren look. The highest point of the range is an unnamed high peak, located in the central sector of the range.
There are numerous vestiges of ancient glaciation in the Ichigem Range, but no modern glaciers. River Oklan has its sources in Mount Stolovaya of the western part of the Ichigem and flows roughly eastwards along the southern limits of the range, beyond which rises the Oklan Plateau (Окланское плато).

Saman Chandranath Weerasinghe (5 July 1947 – 15 February 2022: සමන් චන්ද්රනාත් වීරසිංහ), was an award-winning Sri Lankan journalist, lyricist, poet, and novelist. Considered one of the most iconic and prolific lyricists ever produced in the country, he contributed to more than 2,000 songs in a career spanned more than five decades.
Personal life
He was born on 5 July 1947 in Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. His father Wimal Weerasinghe was an Editor-in-Chief of Lankadeepa newspaper. He studied science subjects at the Prince of Wales College, Moratuwa in English medium. But after S.W.R.D Bandaranaike made Sinhala as the official language, he lost the school life. At that time he had a serious car accident and was at home for about years. It was during that time that he became more interested in writing. When Saman was out of school due to a language problem, his father went to Mapalagama Vipulasara Thera where he studied arts at the Paramadhamma Chethiya Pirivena in Ratmalana for 4 months. After that he went to the Pinwatta Pirivena in Panadura for A/Ls. When he was going to the Pirivena to do A/Ls, the monk who taught Sinhala asked a question about a renowned book and asked "why is it a masterpiece?". But Saman simply answered, 'That book is not a great book.' After that rift, he lost his education at pirivena.
His brother Bharathi Weerasinghe is also a journalist and creative writer.
He was married to longtime partner Dayalatha Weerasinghe. The couple had three children. The eldest daughter, Tikiri Kumari is working at a music institute. His second daughter, Nadee Kumari is a music teacher. His son, Chamikara is a Deputy News Editor of the "Daily News". His nephew Saman Mendis is a renowned photographer.
Weerasinghe died on 15 February 2022 at the age of 74 while receiving treatment at the Colombo National Hospital for a longtime previaling illness. His remains were initially kept at the ‘Restpect’ Jayaratne Parlour in Borella from 10 am and later moved to his residence No.60, Fonseka Road, ‘Lakshapathiya’, Moratuwa. The funeral was held at 4 pm on 17 February 2022 at the Borella Cemetery.
Career
As a child, he wrote the short story Tikiri Kathawak with a plot where the protagonist commits suicide amidst an anxious question that thieves have broken into the bitter gourd vine that he has planted in his field. After seeing this, his father tore it up and threw it away by saying that “Saman writes about how people live in the midst of problems. Not how to die". He first wrote a poetry called 'Piyaa Putha' for the Lankadeepa newspaper. After that he wrote a play for 'Rasavahini' magazine. Mahanama Dissanayake intervened and published this play as four or six parts in Rasavahini magazine.
He started his career as a freelance journalist with the Lankadeepa newspaper in December 1969. Cyrus Surendra, who worked for the Lankadeepa newspaper wrote a column entitled 'Kaalaye Satahan' died suddenly. At that time, Saman was a student at the Pinwatta Pirivena, where he was asked to continue Surendra's column. He worked sporadically in Lankadeepa until 1984. The main reason for this was that Lankadeepa had surrendered to political forces several times. Saman who was angry like a snake when he saw injustice, first left Lankadeepa in 1975. He was removed from office under the then Sri Lanka Freedom Party government. Shortly afterwards, he rejoined the editorial board of Lankadeepa. At the time, the Times of Ceylon Limited (TCL) was a state-owned enterprise controlled by the United National Party government. He resigned as assistant editor again in 1984, shortly before the entire TCL closed.
Later he held a number of positions in the Dinamina newspaper too. He was also the Vice President of the Songwriters' Forum, which was formed in the early 1990s. He was involved in a trade union struggle under the Intellectual Property Act and was the feature editor and co-editor of 'Silumina' newspaper. He was the Consultant Editor of Dinamina and a sub editor of Janatha newspapers at the time of retirement.
Weerasinghe made his first writings as a lyricist when he was in school. The song he wrote for a devotional song competition held in Panadura at that time was sung by Neela Wickramasinghe, who was a school girl at the time. He also composed the first radio song of Sunil Edirisinghe, "Waadakayaneni". His first radio song was 'Hetak Gange Sithala' composed for a 1971 simple song program for Punsiri Soysa. Later, he wrote many of Soysa's all-time favorite hits such as "Sewwandiyakata Pem Banda", "Rusiru Dasunak", "Biduwak Iwasa Ahanna" and "Ganga Diyawela Gala". Meanwhile, he wrote the first geometrical song in Sri Lanka, titled "Samakoni Thrikonayaki" for Dayarathna Ranatunga.
His first lyrics broadcast on the radio was a patriotic song titled "Muthuketa Mathuwuna Maha Sayurai" which was sung by C.L. Fonseka to music by Rohitha Wijesuriya. Veteran singer Malini Bulathsinhala enters the field as a solo singer with the song wrote by Weerasinghe, titled "Sanda Madale Sita" which was included in a radio drama. Meanwhile, he also wrote the radio anthem "Nawa Rasa Dhara" to add patriotic feeling. The music of the song was composed by Sarath Dassanayake. Saman-Sarath duo then made several collaborative works for more than two decades which includes the popular song "Hima Renu Watena".
The song "Sondura Mata Samudenna" was composed by Weerasinghe and was included in the programs 'Prabuddha Gee' and 'Ran Kethai Kammalai' on the National Radio in the 1970s. The purpose of the Prabuddha Gee, which was sung between 5.45 - 6.00 am daily before the morning news at that time, was to create a patriotic feeling among the general public based on the existing Vaga Sangrama project. The patriotic sentiment of the labour force was exaggerated in the songs he wrote such as: "Nabara Goyamata Rahas" which was sung by Gunadasa Kapuge.
Saman also co-wrote the lyrics for the film 'Hadawatha Mal Yayai' with Sarath Dassanayake's son Ranga Dasanayake. Apart from being a lyricist, he also worked professionally as a consultant in the art of advertising. He chaired the National Lotteries Board's Advertising Procurement Committee for some years.
Filmography
He has contributed by writing many popular films songs since 1974.
Notable lyrics
Weerasinghe wrote more than 2,000 lyrics for singers across several generations.

Xenophon de Blumenthal Kalamatiano (14th July 1882–9th November 1923) was an American intelligence agent recruited from the University of Chicago to serve in Russia as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War.
He became the chief field officer of DeWitt Clinton Poole, U.S. Consul general in Moscow, and American spymaster in Revolutionary Russia.
Along with co-conspirator Boris Savinkov, 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. The plot failed after it was eventually uncovered by the Cheka, and the Bolsheviks responded by escalating the Red Terror.
U.S. Secretary of state Robert Lansing initiated the plot after Lenin seized power in October 1917 and removed Russia from the World War I, according to Barnes Carr
Early life and education
Kalamtiano was a student at University of Chicago and became involved with a "Chicago Group" of Russophiles and information gathers that included the university president William Rainey Harper and philanthropist and world travel Charles Richard Crane Dr. Harper's son Samuel N. Harper joined the group, and as the US did not have a CIA at the time, an as overseas spies in the State Department and Office of Naval Intelligence were hampered by budgets and politics, reports from "U.S. casuals" and affiliated citizens were solicited.

Eragrostis ciliaris, the gophertail lovegrass, is a species of grass (family Poaceae). It is native to the Old World Tropics; nearly all of Africa, Madagascar, other Indian Ocean islands, the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian Subcontinent, Myanmar, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines and a number of Pacific islands, and has been introduced to the New World Tropics and Subtropics, from the southern United States to Argentina, the Caribbean, and other Pacific islands. Its seeds are edible and nutritious, but quite small and difficult to harvest and handle, so it is usually regarded as a famine food.

Serve the People () is a 2022 South Korean romantic drama film, written and directed by Jang Cheol-soo and starring Yeon Woo-jin, Ji An, Jo Sung-ha and Kim Ji-chul. Based on the eponymous novel by Yan Lianke, it depicts a romance between Mu Gwang, a model soldier, and Su-ryun, the young wife of the division commander and the inner conflicts of Mu Gwang. The film set in a fictional socialist country much similar to North Korea in the 1970s, was released theatrically on February 23, 2022 in South Korea.
Synopsis
Explaining the meaning of title the director of the film said, "The supreme leader has given the soldier the duty written on the sign to serve the people, and the ear of barley engraved next to it symbolizes a bountiful harvest and the red star symbolizes a brilliant future. The division commander values this sign more than life. And he said the same to Mu-gwang, the first to go to work. Su-ryun uses this sign to create rifts and widen the gaps. The language of revolution is replaced by the language of desire. It becomes a medium of love."

Critical response
Kim Mi-hwa of Star News criticized the presentation of the film, writing, "the content of satire and resistance to the original system was not well expressed in the film". She further stated that the depiction of sex scenes "continues for a long time" and "the subject matter this film was trying to talk about in the first place becomes more and more distant." Kim found the character Soo-Ryun, played by actress Ji-An, "disappointing" as "it feels hard and awkward without knowing where it is". Concluding her review Kim opined, "Serving the People seems to be difficult to leave behind more than a problematic work."
Yang Yu-jin of My Daily in her review, termed the film as "A problematic work that shakes emotions by going back and forth between reason and instinct seeks the audience." She praised the performances of lead pair writing, "Yeon Woo-jin and Ji-an's challenging spirit stand out." Yang further stated, "in particular, Yeon Woo-jin's acting transformation is impressive." Concluding Yang wrote, that the film conveyed the impression that the heavy theme of anti-socialism has been somewhat volatilized, and it is only a description of exceptional 19-karat gold [sex scenes]."
Lee Bora of Cine21 reviewing the film stated that the endeavour was made to show the setting of the film in fiction world "with imagination added based on the tone of the characters and the overall mise-en-scène." Bora opined, that the conflict between the protagonists, "who go back and forth between reality and desire, is produced very stiffly". Bora felt that the narrative of the film was not tightly woven, it felt "as if a screw is missing". Bora concluded, "the focus of [the film] is on sexuality rather than love.

Princess Der Ling (), also known as Secret Files of the Qing Imperial Palace: Princess Der Ling (), is a Chinese period drama television series based on the historical novel of the same name written by Xu Xiaobin. The series premiered on CCTV-8 on 30 August 2006, and had been broadcast on in Taiwan since 2009, with Taiwanese Hokkien dubbing. It is the first and only television dramatisation of Der Ling's life.
Synopsis
Upon their return to China from France, Der Ling (Zhang Jingjing) and Roung Ling (Sun Yifei), daughters of the Qing-dynasty diplomat (Liu Wenzhi), are installed as court ladies to the Empress Dowager Cixi (Lü Zhong). The Yu sisters, with the feeling of reforming an ancient empire, eventually realise its impossibility of change, and witness the dynasty's gradual demise. Der Ling's relationship with Kevin White (Jonathan Kos-Read; based on her real-life husband Thaddeus Cohu White) was highly romanticised in the series.
According to the Peking University professor Chen Xiaoming, in Xu Xiaobin's novel, as well in the series adaptation, "Der Ling and Roung Ling are symbols of Western civilisation". Despite being born in the Qing Empire, "they are the messengers of modern Western civilisation rather than daughters of ancient Eastern civilisation. They enter the ancient palace carrying within themselves a modern concept, a modern lifestyle and a modern aesthetic, bringing a free spirit to a society of rigid stratification, which is fresh and more humane."

Lost Echo Lake is a lake in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It is situated in a glacier-formed valley in the Cub Hills and the boreal forest ecozone of Canada. It is located south of Summit Lake and is accessed from secondary roads that branch off of Highway 913. While there are no communities or settlements on the lake, there is the Lost Echo Wilderness Campsite on the western shore.
Description
Lost Echo Lake is situated along the course of Caribou Creek in a valley in the Cub Hills, south of Summit Lake and north of Upper Fishing Lake. From Lost Echo Lake, Caribou Creek carries on down the valley, passing through the lakes of Lower Echo Lake and Upper Fishing Lake and into Lower Fishing Lake. Lower Fishing lake is drained by Stewart Creek, which flows south into Torch River. Torch River flows east into the Saskatchewan River and is part of the Hudson Bay drainage basin. Inflows into the lake include waters flowing in from Summit Lake via Caribou Creek, and nearby hills and muskeg.
Fish species
Fish commonly found in Lost Echo Lake include walleye, northern pike, and lake trout. The lake's outflow, also known as Lost Echo Creek, was first stocked with brook trout in 1934. The creek is well suited for brook trout and as a result, the trout developed a sustainable, naturalised population.

Tumtum Peak is a 4,678-foot-elevation (1,426 meter) mountain summit located in the southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park, in Pierce County of Washington state. This top-to-bottom forested peak is part of the Cascade Range and lies southwest of the summit of Mount Rainier. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Wow, to the northwest, and Iron Mountain rises to the northeast. Precipitation runoff from Tumtum Peak is drained by Tahoma Creek on the west side of the mountain, whereas Kautz Creek drains the east side, and both are tributaries of the Nisqually River. The Road to Paradise traverses the southern base of the peak shortly after visitors to the park enter via the Nisqually Entrance. Topographic relief is significant as the southwest aspect rises nearly 2,500 feet (762 meters) above the road in one mile.
Etymology
The "tumtum" name derives from Chinook Jargon for a word meaning "heart, or heartbeat", and refers to the shape of the landform. The name was officially adopted in 1913 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
Climate
Tumtum Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades. As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.

Rajagopala Vilasamu (Telugu: రాజగోపాలవిలాసము) is a 17th-century Telugu poetic work (kavya) of Chengalva Kalakavi or Kalaya. The work is thus of historical as well as of poetic value. The author Kalaya is a court poet of Vijaya Raghava Nayak of Tanjore.
The work describes the sports of Sri Rajagopalaswami (Sri Krishna), who was the Patron deity of the Naick Kings of Tanjore. They installed Sri Krishna in Mannargudi (Rajamannarkoil) about twenty-five miles southeast of Tanjore.
The kavya briefly describes the Sthalapurana of Mannargudi, and then describes the sports of Sri Krishna with his eight consorts. The poet has depicted the sports so as to exemplify the eight Nayikas well known in Sringara Kavyas (Ashta Nayika). The introductory part of the work gives the genealogy of Vijaya Raghava Nayak, the patron of the poetic work.
The work was edited with a detailed introduction in Telugu and English by N. Venkata Rao, Head of the Department of Telugu, University of Madras.

In fictional representations, torture is often portrayed as a method for obtaining information through interrogation. Unlike the real world practice of torture, fictional representations of torture are often portrayed as being professional and efficient methods of obtaining reliable information, and as selective rather than indiscriminate. Torture can be a convenient plot device to extract information, and when the hero is the torturer, it almost always works, usually quickly. Popular culture representations have an effect on how torture is practiced in the real world; United States Army interrogators as well as the staff at Guantanamo Bay have copied torture techniques that they learned from TV. Positive depictions of torture during the Algerian War of Independence helped shape the public perception of torture, a trend that continued with American media produced after the 9/11 attacks.
Background
Torture, defined as agents of the government inflicting severe pain or suffering on someone, is illegal under international law under all circumstances.
Fictional depictions by conflict
Algerian war of independence
Fictional depictions of torture during the Algerian War of Independence, especially The Battle of Algiers, Lost Command, and The Centurions, were especially influential in shaping popular perceptions of torture, as they were much better known than actual events. The Centurions introduces the ticking time bomb scenario in which under torture, a National Liberation Front (FLN) operative quickly exposes the location of fifteen bombs. Political scientist Darius Rejali argues that "The point of [The Centurions] is that failing to torture is the sissy’s response; only a real man knows what to do." The Battle of Algiers misrepresents the history of the battle in order to imply that selective French use of torture against insurgents caused its victory (in fact, the torture was much more indiscriminate than portrayed). During the war in Afghanistan, United States servicemen were inspired by these fictional portrayals for interrogation of enemies.
In the twenty-first century, French films shifted to portraying torture as negative, including La Traihson (2005) and Mon colonel (2006). The 2007 French film Intimate Enemies explored perpetrator trauma resulting from the Algerian war.
Cold War
Torture in preparation for show trials in the Eastern Bloc was depicted in the 1970 French film The Confession, based on the memoirs of Slansky trial defendant Artur London. Scriptwriter Jorge Semprún said that the intent of the film was not to overdo torture scenes that would alienate the viewer, but rather show "the slow erasure of a man through isolation, hunger, cold, exhaustion".
War on terror
After the 9/11 attacks, the United States started a state-sanctioned torture program as part of the war on terror. The George W. Bush administration rejected the label "torture" for its practices, calling them "enhanced interrogation techniques". Effectiveness of the United States torture program was limited, with many detainees refusing to talk or providing false information.
The amount of torture depicted on American television increased dramatically. The United States TV series 24 (2001–2010) was inspired by the earlier depictions of the Algerian war, and other 2000s TV shows such as Star Trek: Enterprise, The Shield, and LOST also portray the heroes as torturers. The hero of 24, Jack Bauer, is regularly depicted torturing antagonists using a variety of torture methods; hardened terrorists are depicted as giving in quickly and revealing important information. David Danzig, the director of Human Rights First's campaign against torture, calls the TV series "an advertisement for torture" that targets, in addition to the villains, those who oppose torture. The only person who is not successfully tortured is Bauer, who temporarily dies from torture in the second season.
In order to combat the unrealistic portrayal of torture in American television and movies, in 2006 Human Rights First went to Hollywood with Stuart Herrington, a former intelligence officer during the Vietnam War, Patrick Finnegan, the dean of West Point, and FBI interrogation expert Joe Navarro. They met with LOST producer Jeff Pinkner, who told them that he had never considered that "what we came up with in our fevered minds might have any impact on the way these things were done in the real world". Kiefer Sutherland, the actor who played Bauer, explained that the TV show is just supposed to be entertainment, rather than influencing political debate. One reason why torture scenes are preferred according to industry experts is that they can be done quickly, fitting in to a short runtime.
24 producer Adam Fierro realized that realistic depiction of torture was an unfilled market niche, which he decided to fill with his TV series The Shield, which features an innocent man who is tortured to death. Human Rights First created an educational film Primetime Torture, that it distributed to military educators in order to help them explain that TV depictions of torture are not realistic. According to Rejali, the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side inaccurately portrays a CIA science of torture that did not exist and exonerates low-level soldiers for the killing of Dilawar "in nonemergency conditions and using ordinary military techniques". The CIA was involved in the filming of the 2012 film Zero Dark Thirty, which has been criticized for its portrayal of torture.
Israeli–Palestinian conflict
Israeli films set during the intifadas have also featured torture.
Science fiction
Star Trek television shows have depicted torture in numerous episodes. The protagonists are only depicted as torturers in four out of 21 cases of torture; torture is depicted as effective in 11 out of the 21 cases. The most in-depth depiction of torture is in the episode "Chain of Command" from Star Trek: The Next Generation in which Captain Jean-Luc Picard is captured by the Cardassians and tortured by Gul Madred, who repeatedly shows Picard four lights and tries to get him to say there are five. Although in Star Trek the torture victims usually recover at once, Picard required rehabilitation after being rescued.
Effects
A 2018 study found that viewing media that depicted torture as effective increased support for it, while a 2021 study did not find evidence that watching cinematic depictions of torture affected public opinion on torture. In 2003, the Pentagon screened The Battle of Algiers as an example of what tactics they might face during the United States invasion of Iraq. Celebrities such as Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, Bush administration officials John Yoo and Michael Chertoff, former president Bill Clinton, and Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo all cited 24 during debates on torture, often to excuse or normalize it. Popular culture representations have an effect on how torture is practiced in the real world; United States Army interrogators as well as the staff at Guantanamo Bay have copied torture techniques that they learned from film. United States military instructors report that their trainees often cite 24 as a reason why torture is sometimes justified.

Pyocins are bacteriocins produced by bacteria in Pseudomonas -genus. François Jacob described the first pyocin in 1954.. Pyocins can be divided into three distinct classes: S-type, R-type, and F-type pyocins. S-type pyocins are colicin-like bacteriocins as R-type and F-type pyocins belong to tailocins.
S-type pyocins
S-type (soluble) pyocins are binary protein complexes that compose of a cytotoxic protein and an immunity protein that protects the producing strain from cytotoxic effects. The amino-terminal domain of the protein takes part in receptor binding as the carboxy-terminal domain is responsible for cytotoxic effect. Most S-type pyocins act by degrading DNA and RNA but some exhibit their cytotoxicity by forming pores to cell surface or by lipid degradation. Several S-type pyocins have been found so far: S1, S2, AP41, S3, S4, S5, S6.
Pyocin G is an example of a novel S1-type nuclease pyocin. It binds to hemin uptake receptor Hur on target cell surface and translocates to the cytoplasm where it degrades DNA. Pyocin G uses inner membrane proteins TonB1 and FtsH for translocation. Pyocin G is highly active against P.aeruginosa clinical isolates in vitro as well as in vivo and could be active in P.aeruginosa infections also in humans
In silico methods are revealing also new types of S-pyocins when large databases of sequenced DNA from Pseudomonas-genus are being screened for new pyocin coding sequences.
R-type and F-type pyocins
R- and F-type pyocins have been mainly investigated in P.aeruginosa. These two types differ by their structure; they are both composed of a sheath and a hollow tube forming a long helicoidal hexameric structure attached to a baseplate. There are multiple tail fibers that allow the viral particle to bind to the target cell. However, the R-pyocins are a large, rigid contractile tail-like structure whereas the F-pyocins are small flexible, non-contractile tail-like structures.
To date five subgroups of R-type pyocins have been discovered: R1 to R5. F-type pyocins discovered so far are pyocin 28, 430f, F1, F2, and F3.

Pelé! is a 1994 association football video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Accolade for the Sega Genesis. The game received mixed reviews from critics, who commended the graphics and amount of options, but criticized the controls and difficulty. A sequel, Pelé II: World Tournament Soccer, was released later the same year.
Gameplay
Pelé! is a simulation of association football in which the player can control one of 40 international teams. Gameplay takes place from an isometric perspective, and during a match, the player controls the selected player's movement with the D-pad, while the button commands vary depending on whether the player is on offense, defense, or whether the ball is in the air. The usual rules of the sport apply, including fouls, corners, and offside. The player can change formations at any time, with Pelé himself appearing to give advice on what formation to use. The game features four modes of play. In "Exhibition", players can play a match against a computer-controlled or human opponent. The player can also play through a 16-game "Tournament" or a 40-game "Season". The "Practice" mode allows players to perfect on-field moves without having to engage in a match.
Development and release
In April 1993, Accolade announced that it had signed exclusive licensing agreements with St. Louis Blues right winger Brett Hull and former New York Cosmos forward Pelé to endorse and help design sports games for the SNES, Sega Genesis, and MS-DOS. Alan Price programmed the game, while Philip Bat Tse and Edgar Bridwell served as lead artists. The sound effects and music were respectively created by Paul Wilkinson and Marc Baril. As none of the teams featured in the game provided endorsement, generic names were given to the game's teams, and only the players' surnames are included. Pelé! was released in January 1994.
Reception
Pelé! received mixed reviews upon release. Electronic Gaming Monthly stated that the game offered everything expected from the sports genre, but warned that the mechanic of switching players during play was confusing. Athletic Supporter of GamePro appreciated the amount of options and deemed the graphics and audio to be above average (singling out the large player sprites and crowd noises respectively), but was frustrated by the penalty-filled gameplay. Deniz Ahmet felt that the focus on options came at the expense of the gameplay, which he said was marred by sluggish controls and lack of character between teams. Paul Glancey and Angus Swan of Mean Machines Sega condemned Pelé! as "an affront to the good name of soccer and the good name of Pelé"; while they acknowledged the large sprite size and fair amount of options, they derided the ropey controls and difficult goalkeepers, dismissed the music as "nauseating Hammond organ", and described the crowd sounds as "the spectators at a St Trinian's hockey match". Additionally, Swan considered the use of digitized video sequences to be "frankly irresponsible" due to the cartridge's size. Both Ahmet and the Mean Machines Sega reviewers noted the ball's habit of flickering during more frantic action.

Catatos is a traditional Angolan dish made with fried caterpillars and garlic. It is often served over rice. The dish is a specialty of the Uíge Province in northwestern Angola.
Background
The consumption of insects is an ancient indigenous tradition in many parts of the world, including southern Africa, due to the high nutritious value of insects. A number of edible insects, including caterpillars and other larvae, are eaten in the Uíge Province of Angola where they play a substantial role in rural diet. Of these, the mopane worm (Gonimbrasia belina), a type of caterpillar, is one of the most widely consumed species. Approximately 9.5 billion mopane worms are harvested yearly in southern Africa. Other caterpillar species traditionally eaten in Angola include the larvae of the Imbrasia epimethea, Imbrasia ertli and Usta terpsichore.
Traditional methods of gathering and preparation vary depending on the species. Children are often sent to gather them from the trees, while adults gather them in the fields. Sometimes, trees may be cut down and split to gather the caterpillars inside. Caterpillars are washed in water, and their digestive tract may be removed as part of the cleaning process. Urticating hairs are singed off, if present. Catatos, a traditional Uíge dish, is made by frying caterpillars with garlic.
Preparation
The caterpillars are fried together with garlic. Other ingredients, such as onion, tomatoes and pepper may be added for flavoring. The caterpillars take on a tender yet crunchy texture, and their taste has been compared to prawns. It is usually served over rice or funge. Hot sauce may also be added.
Nutritional value
Caterpillars are high in protein, vitamins and minerals, including iron. A study published in 2017 found that Imbrasia epimethea larvae had a comparable amount of protein to tuna, chicken and beef, but lower levels of essential amino acids. They are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. The study also found that cooking did not significantly impact nutritional value, making them a viable alternative to meat. Mopane caterpillars have 31 mg of iron per 100 mg of dry weight, compared to 6 mg of iron per 100 mg of dry weight for beef.

Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems is a 2020 collection of poems by the English poet Simon Armitage.
Context
Author
Simon Armitage is an English poet, playwright and novelist. He was appointed as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 2019. He is professor of poetry at the University of Leeds and became Oxford Professor of Poetry when he was elected to the four-year part-time appointment from 2015 to 2019. He was born and raised in Marsden, West Yorkshire, and still lives nearby.
Motivation
Armitage explains in the book's introduction that when he returned to Marsden with a geography degree, "I started looking out of [my bedroom] window again, and out of the large picture window in the living room with its wide-angle view of Marsden – and I was ready to write... the village became the drawing board or board game on which I could practise my poetics and play out my perspectives." He considers his motivations at that time, such as fabricating an identity, stating that whatever they were, they were "at a subconscious level". He notes that a different account would be needed to explain why he continued to write Marsden poems "on and off – for another three decades". He writes that he found he had been using Marsden to chart "the effects of the recession [from 2008], and the austerity that followed, and a growing sense of marginalisation in what was supposed to be an age of increased communication and connectedness."
Book
Publication history
Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems was published in hardback on 15 March 2020 by Faber and Faber in London. They brought out a paperback edition in 2021.
Synopsis
The book contains 50 poems about Armitage's home village of Marsden, written at different times throughout his career. The poems are arranged roughly chronologically, not by date of writing but by the date to which each poem applies, something Armitage states could not be precise, as some apply to a range of dates. The endpapers are maps of parts of Marsden at differing scales, keyed to the poems by page numbers in red attached to each poem's location, such as a house, a garden, a reservoir, or a railway bridge.
Recordings
A BBC producer invited Armitage to read some of the poems in situ in their exact Marsden locations. They made recordings including of "Emergency" in the boarded-up fire station; "Harmonium" in St Bartholomew's Church; "Leaves on the Line" at the railway station; and "On Marsden Moor" on the moor around the village.
Reception
The poet Jonathan Humble, in The Yorkshire Times, calls the book "a love letter to a muse that was there for the poet at the beginning and has continued to be a source of inspiration through to the present day." He notes that Armitage calls Marsden "genuinely unique … as a liminal, transcendent and transgressive location", and agrees it is an interesting place with a thriving cultural scene. He admires the book's production as "a lovely thing to behold", with its "handy maps", should the reader wish to walk what he predicts will become the "Armitage Trail", and the cover photograph of Marsden including the author's terrace house, and a shiny central band "illustrating (I believe) the magnetic attraction he feels towards the village." He writes that "The Marsden Poet" remains as Samuel Laycock, commemorated in stone in the village's park, noting that "this seems to rankle the Poet Laureate (and with some justification", as Laycock left Marsden when he was 11 years old. Humble concludes that Armitage "surely deserves some physical recognition in the village as, with understated skill and marvellous accessibility, [he] continues to put Marsden on the map."
The critic and editor Kate Simpson, in Poetry School, describes Magnetic Field as "a complex and alluring interpretation of our connection to both interior and exterior spaces: the grass is near touchable; the evening breeze tangible; the 'horizon ablaze' ("Emergency"). The fields await our return." In her view, the Marsden poems "are like cardinal directions, pointing back to the landscape and inviting readers to gather in a geographical amphitheatre."
