The AfD Saxony-Anhalt is the state association of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The state association is led by the member of parliament Martin Reichardt as state chairman. With André Poggenburg as the top candidate, the AfD Sachsen-Anhalt ran for the first time in a state election in 2016 and subsequently represented the second largest parliamentary group in the seventh state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt.
In January 2021, the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony-Anhalt classified the state association as a suspected right-wing extremist.
Controversies
The AfD parliamentary group in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt called for a demonstration in Magdeburg at the end of January 2022 against the CORONA protective measures. It remained unclear whether the AfD Saxony-Anhalt or the AfD parliamentary group organized and financed the demonstration. The faction receives state money and is therefore forbidden to finance political events.

Fincastle Chapel, also known as Glenfincastle Chapel, is a former church building in Glen Fincastle, south of Blair Atholl, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is named for the glen in which it stands.
Standing at the apex of a hairpin curve of the B8019 Killiecrankie-to-Tummel Bridge road, where the road crosses Fincastle Burn, the chapel is believed to have been built in 1843, according to a datestone at the site. Inside the chapel there is a World War I memorial plaque honouring five local men who died in the conflict.
Another plaque is to the memory of Charlotte Rachel Barbour (née Fowler), who was a "friend of the children of Glen Fincastle 1930".
Charlotte's son, George Freeland Barbour (1882–1946), was for many years a worshipper and preacher at the chapel.
A tablet was placed, to give thanks, by the family of Helen Victoria Barbour (1891–1982): "For 63 years her home in this glen was a place of laughter, joy and inspiration for countless people from far and near."
The chapel is shown as a free church on the first-edition Ordnance Survey maps, and as a school on the second edition.
An octagonal wooden structure, which is not shown on the early maps, stands to the southeast of the chapel.
Robert Stewart
The burial enclosure of Robert Stewart, 11th of Fincastle, is located south of the chapel, and is a Category C listed structure.

On-set virtual production (OSVP) is a technology for television and film production in which LED panels are used as a backdrop for a set, on which video or computer generated imagery can be displayed. With careful adjustment and calibration, an OSVP set can be made to closely approximate the appearance of a real set or outdoor location. OSVP can be viewed as an application of extended reality.
OSVP contrasts with virtual studio technology, in which a green screen backdrop surrounds the set, and the virtual surroundings are composited into the green screen plate downstream from the camera, in that in OSVP the virtual world surrounding the set is visible to the camera, actors, and crew, and objects on set are illuminated by light from the LED screen, creating realistic interactive lighting effects, and that the virtual background and foreground are captured directly in camera, complete with natural subtle cues like lens distortion, depth of field effects, bokeh and lens flare. This makes it a far more natural experience that more closely approximates location shooting, making the film-making process faster and more intuitive than can be achieved on a virtual set.
To render parallax depth cues correctly from the viewpoint of a moving camera, the system requires the use of match moving of the background imagery based on data from low-latency real-time motion capture technology to track the camera.
OSVP developments include Disney's StageCraft system, developed in-house at Industrial Light and Magic for the Disney+ series The Mandalorian.
Industry organizations including SMPTE, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the American Society of Cinematographers have started initiatives to support the development of OSVP.

A Camel's Kiss is a solo cello album by Tristan Honsinger. It was recorded in December 1999 at Plantage Doklaan, Amsterdam, and was released by Instant Composers Pool in 2000.
When asked about the title of the album, Honsinger replied: "I had an experience with a llama one time. It was tied up outside the City Hall of Marseille and the funny thing was that these business people had to go past the llama to get into the City Hall. They were all dressed with suits and briefcases and they all had to look at the llama and their reactions were – I never laughed so hard in my life. I thought, yeah, it's a little bit like a camel, like kissing a camel." When asked why he didn't name the album A Llama's Kiss, Honsinger responded: "Aahh, because I like the word camel."
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Dean McFarlane wrote: "This CD... finds... Honsinger... performing as he does best a style of fractured but highly emotive avant-garde cello. His vocalizing in improvisation is a kind of subconscious moan that is charming and somewhat frightening to hear over the squalls of cello lyricism. He lets the instrument do the talking, in that his vocalizing is vague tonal accompaniment to his virtuoso string flurries. His performance is flippant, but by no stretch is it slapstick; his improvising is highly developed, and... he is captured in crystal-clear fidelity, and his performance is evocative of jazz, classical, folk, and avant-garde idioms, fields that he draws inspiration from then transmutes into his own unique instrumental language... This recording captures all of the evocative emotional weight that a cello recital carries, but is lively and upbeat while simultaneously melancholic and introspective. It is the speed with which the performer can transform from these emotions which highlights his virtuosity on the instrument."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars, calling it "superb," and stating that it "sees Honsinger negotiate the entire range of his musical heritage, from Bach-like solo sonatas to Berliner Ensemble cabaret songs to free-form improvisations which camouflage a strong inner structure. It's a completely exhilarating 50-odd minutes of music, with not a dull spot. It's also beautifully recorded, bringing out the resonant woodiness of the cello, as well as its percussive potential and its ability to set off ringing harmonics in the space around the performer."

"The knight who could make cunts speak" (French: "Le Chevalier qui fist parler les cons") is a French fabliau. Seven versions of it remain, including one in MS Harley 2253 (a manuscript ca. 1340 which also contains the Harley Lyrics).
Summary
The main character of the story is an impoverished vassal who lacks even a coat or a hat; he has pawned all his possessions, though he still has a squire, who gets the plot going when he steals the clothes of three maidens who were bathing. When the knight restores the clothing and the maidens dress themselves, they give him three gifts. The first gives him the power to entertain anyone and get paid for it. The second gives him the power to hear vaginas speak if he addresses them. The third adds to that power: if a vagina is prevented from speaking, the anus will respond for it.

There are seven manuscripts containing the fabliau, six French and one in Anglo-Norman (the latter in MS Harley 2253):

The author is named as simply "Garin", and it is recorded in the Nouveau Recueil Complet des Fabliaux that because this was such a common name, and there is nothing else to go on, this is insufficient to identify who that was.
MS ABCDE are a single common version.
MS I diverges from MS ABCDE in its description of the welcome of the knight to the castle, which it devotes an extra 50 lines to, the banquet, with a detailed description of the food, and the girl who is offered to the knight, Blancheflor.
MS M, in contrast, cuts out all of the courtly allusions.
The two suggested explanations of this are Rychner's that it was reproduced from memory, and John Hines's that allusion to French courtly literature was omitted for the benefit of an English audience.
Joseph Bédier Bowdlerized the title, as he did others in his edition of the Fabliaux, to Du Chevalier qui fist parler les dames ("make the ladies talk").
Influences
Denis Diderot's novel with talking vaginas, Les Bijoux Indiscrets, was inspired by this fabliau.

Bianchengichthys is an extinct genus of "maxillate" placoderm fish from the late Silurian Period. Its fossils have been recovered from Yunnan Province, China, and it is represented by only one species: Bianchengichthys micros.
Description
Bianchengichthys is a small, somewhat dorsoventrally compressed placoderm fish. The mandible (made from dermal bone) of this genus differs from Entelognathus and Qilinyu—two other "maxillate" placoderms from late Silurian China−in that the oral lamina is broad and carries a row of tooth-like denticles, though the marginal flange is toothless. The pectoral fin, preceded by two small spines on its thoracic shield, was lobate in shape and situated along by a 'fringe' of scales similar to those of Lepidotrichia in bony fishes. Similarly to other "maxillate" placoderms, its eyes are anteriorly orientated and very close to its mouth.
Evolutionary significance
Bianchengichthys''' mandible bears physical resemblance to both its relatives Qilinyu and Entelognathus as well as Arthrodire placoderms. It is likely that Bianchengichthys is closely related to the common ancestor between cartilaginous fishes and bony fishes, and represents a transitionary form between placoderms and extant jawed vertebrates. The evolutionary relationships of Bianchengichthys to other placoderms is thought to shed light on the early evolution of all jawed vertebrates—for instance, its potential arthrodire affinity may suggest that eugnathostomes are an extremely derived lineage of arthrodire placoderms.
Distribution and habitatBianchengichthys has only been reported from the Xiaoxi Formation, which is from the Ludlow Epoch (427-423 million years ago). The Xiaoxi Formation primarily consists of sandstones, siltstones and mudstones, and ichnofossil assemblages from are vacinity of Guizhou suggest that it was deposited in a shallow, subtidal, marine setting. The presence of Cruziana in the Xiaoxi suggests that Bianchengichthys may have lived alongside burrowing organisms such as trilobites. Another set of fish fossils belonging to the nomen dubium "Wangolepis" have been recovered from this layer. "Wangolepis" material has also been recovered from the Kuanti Formation, also of China's Yunnan Province.

HS Hydrae is a triple star system in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. The inner pair were an eclipsing binary during the period 1920 until 2019, with HS Hya being the variable star designation. With a base apparent visual magnitude of 8.08, HS Hya is too dim to be viewed with the naked eye. During the primary eclipse, the magnitude dropped to 8.61; the secondary eclipse lowered the magnitude to 8.55. Based on parallax measurements, the system is located at a distance of approximately 335 light years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a mean radial velocity of .
This star was determined to be an Algol variable as part of a survey of bright southern stars by W. Strohmeierand and associates in 1965, demonstrating it is a binary system with an orbital inclination close to the line of sight from the Earth. D. M. Popper found an eclipse periodicity of 1.568024 days for the pair with a combined estimated class of F3–F4. A longer-term analysis of the system's radial velocities in 1997 showed a third member of the system is likely orbiting the inner pair. This is probably a small red dwarf with about half the mass of the Sun and an orbital period of ~190 days.
In 1997, observations with the Hipparcos satellite showed the depth of both eclipses was lower than they were 20 years earlier. In 2012, P. Zasche and A. Paschke showed that the inclination of the orbital plane for the inner pair had changed by 15° since its discovery. The third member of the system is causing the orbit of the inner pair to precess, resulting in a change of inclination of 7.8° over the same period. By 2022, the eclipses have come to an end, with the final observed events captured by the TESS space telescope in 2019. Examination of earlier data showed that the eclipses had begun in the early 1920s, and the system is predicted to resume eclipses in 2195.
The combined stellar classification of this system is F5V, matching an F-type main-sequence star. The inner pair form a detached binary system that show ellipsoidal variation due to tidal interaction. The primary member, designated component A, has 1.31 times the mass and 1.28 times the radius of the Sun. The marginally smaller secondary, component B, has 1.27 times the mass with 1.22 times the radius of the Sun. The unseen third member, component C, has about 56% of the Sun's mass.

Frederick I, nicknamed Barbarossa, was one of the most notable Holy Roman Emperors, who left a considerable political and cultural legacy, especially in Germany and Italy. Thus, he has been the subjects of many studies as well as works of art. Due to his popularity and notoriety, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, he was instrumentalized as a political symbol by many movements and regimes: the Risorgimento, the Wilhelmine government in Germany (especially under Emperor Wilhelm I), and the National Socialist movement. Today, when a tradition-establishing form of commemoration for the emperor is no longer necessary, scholars like Kurt Görich call for neutrality and warn against the instrumentalization of the historical person in the other way. Modern historians generally reject nationalist myths, while portraying the emperor as an influential ruler who suffered many setbacks but often managed to recover. Different studies explore different aspects of his personality, with recent German scholarship emphasizing the emperor's relationship with the chivalrous-courtly culture of the time.
Legends
Frederick is the subject of many legends, including that of a sleeping hero. Legend says he is not dead, but asleep with his knights in a cave in the Kyffhäuser mountains in Thuringia or Mount Untersberg at the border between Bavaria, Germany, and Salzburg, Austria, and that when the ravens cease to fly around the mountain he will awake and restore Germany to a Golden Age. According to the story, his red beard has grown through the table at which he sits. His eyes are half closed in sleep, but now and then he raises his hand and sends a boy out to see if the ravens have stopped flying. A similar story, set in Sicily, was earlier attested about his grandson, Frederick II. To garner political support the German Empire built atop the Kyffhäuser the Kyffhäuser Monument, which declared Kaiser Wilhelm I the reincarnation of Frederick; the 1896 dedication occurred on 18 June, the day of Frederick's coronation.
In medieval Europe, the Golden Legend became refined by Jacopo da Voragine. This was a popularized interpretation of the Biblical end of the world. It consisted of three things: (1) terrible natural disasters; (2) the arrival of the Antichrist; (3) the establishment of a good king to combat the Antichrist. These millennial fables were common and freely traded by the populations on Continental Europe. End-time accounts had been around for thousands of years, but entered the Christian tradition with the writings of the Apostle Peter.
The legend has been read as prophecy from the beginning, as seen in the Italian collection Sibyla Eritrea, the Sächsische Weltchronik (1260), Salimbene di Adam's Cronica (1280). Barbarossa appears in a Messianic form, not just a new but also the final type of ruler – emperor of peace, who is associated with the latter days.
In later centuries, German propaganda played into the exaggerated fables believed by the common people by characterizing Frederick Barbarossa and Frederick II as personification of the "good king". Other figures like Martin Luther, Frederick II the Great of Prussia and Bismarck also became associated with the cult of the national leader, which would later be mobilized by national socialists.
Another legend states that when Barbarossa was in the process of seizing Milan in 1158, his wife, the Empress Beatrice, was taken captive by the enraged Milanese and forced to ride through the city on a donkey in a humiliating manner. Some sources of this legend indicate that Barbarossa implemented his revenge for this insult by forcing the magistrates of the city to remove a fig from the anus of a donkey using only their teeth. Another source states that Barbarossa took his wrath upon every able-bodied man in the city, and that it was not a fig they were forced to hold in their mouth, but excrement from the donkey. To add to this debasement, they were made to announce, "Ecco la fica" (meaning "behold the fig"), with the feces still in their mouths. It used to be said that the insulting gesture (called fico), of holding one's fist with the thumb in between the middle and forefinger came by its origin from this event. This legend is mentioned in Gargantua and Pantagruel (sixteenth century).
During the Risorgimento in Italy, Frederick became the symbolic barbarian, foreign oppressor who were defeated by heroes of a national independence movement respresented by the Lombard League. This interpretation later had influence on Italian historiography. Various stories arose – an example is the one by Cesare Cantù, who recounted that Frederick sent back Milanese people whose hands he had cut off or without their eyes. According to Cardini, until this day, some schoolbooks in Italy still describe Frederick Barbarossa as a National Socialist avant-la-lettre.
Historiography
In 2010, Professor Gianluca Raccagni of the University of Edinburgh summarized the current knowledge on Frederick's rule as the following:
There are good reasons for Frederick’s enduring legacy and fame through the centuries, since he was deeply involved in expanding the influence of the Holy Roman Empire, enjoyed a long and remarkably stable rule in Germany (relatively speaking), was engaged in a momentous struggle with the papacy and the Lombard city communes, and had extensive contacts with the other Christian rulers in Europe and the Mediterranean, not to mention the crusade that he undertook and during which he died. Frederick came very close to killing the autonomy of the Italian city-states shortly after their birth,
to re-establishing imperial control over the papacy, and to expanding his hegemony in the Mediterranean as well. A recent series of conferences has also underlined the profound influence of his reign on the development of public law.
Otto of Freising, Frederick's uncle, wrote an account of his reign entitled Gesta Friderici I imperatoris (Deeds of the Emperor Frederick). Otto's other major work, the Chronica sive Historia de duabus civitatibus (Chronicle or History of the Two Cities) had been an exposition of the Civitas Dei (The City of God) of St. Augustine of Hippo, full of Augustinian negativity concerning the nature of the world and history. His work on Frederick is of opposite tone, being an optimistic portrayal of the glorious potentials of imperial authority. Otto died after finishing the first two books, leaving the last two to Rahewin, his provost. Rahewin's text is in places heavily dependent on classical precedent.
According to John Freed, until the end of the nineteenth century, even scholars in Germany had to rely on a semi-popular history to get a general overview of Frederick's reign. There were two occasions a substantial effort was made to create a comprehensive biography for the emperor and both ended with the main author's death. The first was the work of Henry Simonsfeld, who died in 1913 and his book, never completed, ends with Otto of Freising's death in 1158. The other notable contribution is the two volumes about Frederick in Wilhelm von Giesebrecht’s Geschichte der Deutschen Kaiserzeit (1855—88). Giesebrecht died in 1889 and thus his student Bernhard von Simson was the one who completed the work in 1895. This later became the scholarly standard work on the emperor's life.
Giesebrecht presents Barbarossa's era as a high point of German history. Freed opines that this work was meant to arouse patriotism.
In 1975, Frederick's charters were published. This and the postwar abandonment of the Kyffhäuser myth have led to the publications of several new biographies. The notable recent authorities among German-speaking historians include Ferdinand Opll, Johannes Laudage (who died in an accident in 2008 so could not write the section on the 1170s). and Knut Görich.
Bernd Schütte credits Ferdinand Oppl with raising the research of Frederick I to a new and resilient level, with contributions both through studies and bibliographical additions (Oppl is both a researcher and an archiver). Opll's Friedrich Barbarossa presents the emperor as a pragmatic leader with a capacity of adaptation and recovery after defeat. Jean-Yves Mariotte highly praises the works but adds that more clarity on the subjects of the imperial function or the financial aspect of the monarchy might widen the perspective.
Knut Görich's works on Frederick include Friedrich Barbarossa: Eine Biographie and Die Ehre Friedrich Barbarossas: Kommunikation, Konflikt und politisches Handeln im 12. Jahrhundert, in which he extensively discusses Frederick's attachment to the concept of honor imperii, which was tied to not only his self-understanding as a ruler, but also rights and duties, and also subject to balancing acts with what was politically possible. Görich does not see the 1177 Peace of Venice as a defeat for Frederick but a return to consensus, which later helped make room for maneuvre. Graham Loud agrees with Görich that the concept and language of honour permeated Frederick's reign but sometimes, they might have masked complex realities. Loud also notes Görich credibly shows Frederick as a man of ambition, calculation and skills – one of those was "an ability to satisfy and to recompense those who were not necessarily within his inner circle". On the other hand, Loud opines that Görich mentions Frederick's rule north of the Alps too little. Contrary to Laudage, Görich questions whether traditional researchers have overemphasized the intentional side of Frederick's politics and instead highlights his capability of moderating consensus politics and the will to trial new modes of rulership.
Laudage also sees the concept of honour as the central determinant behind Frederick's thinking and actions. According to Laudage, it was because the emperor lived in an environment in which many issues raised in diets and councils were ultimate conflicts of honours (Ehrkonflikte): "In a society that lacked a written imperial constitution, it was crucial to constantly and demonstratively assert one's own reputation and position in the social hierarchy."(p. 46) During his career, Frederick had demonstrated genuine chivalry and generosity, as well as great ambition, but also violence and ruthlessness. Laudage especially criticized the pure force approach Frederick employed against Milan, which ultimately doomed the enterprise. Bernd Schütte notes that Laudage "ascribes to the emperor and his advisors the decisive initiative in all fields, always future-oritented and accompanied by far-reaching ideas and plans." Schütte also opines that in comparison with Ferdinand Opll's work, published in 1990, the chivalrous-courtly aspect of Frederick is now presented in a more pronounced and clear way, as shown in Laudage's work as well as those by other recent scholars.
In Italy, the scholarly attention towards Frederick's person and his reign has always been considerable, in light of his extensive activities in the Italian domains. In 1985, Franco Cardini wrote a sympathetic biography. Research often focuses on the relationship, or struggle, between Frederick and Italian municipalities. Today, the "oppressor and oppressed" mythical tradition, fostered by the Risorgimento, is not popular anymore. Researchers saw the conflict as the clash between opposite policial conceptions, for which the two sides tried to find solutions through legal measures as well as by force. Schumann notes that the work Federico Barbarossa nel dibattito storiografico in Italia e in Germania, edited by Manselli and Riedmann, is a definite synthesis of non-nationally oriented historiography approaches (combining German and Italian research results) of the last forty years.
Historians Plassmann and Foerster, in review of Freed's Frederick Barbarossa: the Prince and the Myth, note that the work, as "the first English-language biography of Frederick Barbarossa in several decades", is a valuable source and might serve English-speaking audience well, although there are some problems as well as views particular to the author. Other biographers also discuss the periods during the emperor was powerless, but they do not see it as pervasive throughout his reign as Freed. Plassmann notes that Freed ignores Knut Görich's point that argues that, "Frederick was universally accepted 'as king and emperor and managed to push for the succession he wanted'". According to Plassmann, Frederick achieved an "unusual level of acceptance" within Germany, which helped him to survive excommunication, pestilence, a crushing defeat against the Italian opposition and the defiance of one of the mightiest princes of the realm and ended up as the unquestioned leader of the German host on the third crusade".

In the panegyric chronicle De Rebus Sicilis (1196) of Peter of Eboli, dedicated to Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor (reigned 1190–97), Frederick's death is described in the following verses:
Already he sees the goal of his wishes [the Holy Land]
There he migrates in joy to Christ.
The accompanying illustration depicts an angel presenting the emperor's soul, as a baby, to the hand of God. At the same time, the physical body of Frederick is shown plunging into the water. The imperial crown already lies beneath water. John Freed writes that, "This jarring depiction and its ambivalent assessment of Frederick’s reign were soon covered up with a layer of paint that was not removed until the beginning of the twentieth century. The time is long overdue to uncover the prince beneath the myth."
Der alte Barbarossa, (referred to by some sources as a song) published in 1813 by the poet Friedrich Rückert (1788—1866), is a famous poem about the emperor who sleeps in the mountain, likely influenced by anti-Napoleon sentiments.
Music
German minnesang tradition began under the reign of Frederick and was inspired by his Crusade as well as his considerable art patronage (and also, the French troubadour tradition of the time), although they were not exhortative or political songs and tended to be love songs instead. Minnesingers such as Friedrich von Hausen depicted Frederick and his court in their works.
Gustav Pressel (1827–1890) composed the notable ballad Barbarossa about the emperor.
In 1888–1889, Siegmund von Hausegger composed a large work, the symphonic poem Barbarossa, also inspired by the Kyffhäuser legend and containing three movements.
Theatrical works
La battaglia di Legnano: The opera by Giuseppe Verdi (music) and Salvadore Cammarano (libretto) was about the 1184 defeat of Frederick by the army of the Lombard League.
Ernst Raupach (1784 – 1852) wrote four plays about Fredrick, one of his sixteen plays about the Hohenstaufens.
Christian Dietrich Grabbe wrote the tragedy Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa as part of his Hohenstaufen cycle in 1829.
Der Untersberg (The Untersberg) is a Singspiel with three acts by Johann Nepomuk Poissl with libretto by Eduard von Schenk, first performed on October 30, 1829 in Munich. The setting of this work is the mountain near Salzburg inside which the emperor is supposedly asleep.
Friedrich der Rothbart in Suza oder vassalentreue is a 1841 liederspiel about Frederick, written by Johanna Kinkel with libretto by Gottfried Kinkel.
Frederick is a main character Gervinus, der Narr vom Untersberg oder Ein patriotischer Wunsch is a 1849 opera by Franz von Suppé (the title character Gervinus is his court fool).
Federico Barbarossa a Redona, ed Ezzelino terzo, drammi. [In verse.] is a 1851 drama (written in verses) by Cesare Campori.
Richard Wagner connected the two heroes Siegfried and Barbarossa, considering the latter as the second coming of the former. Originally he intended to write an opera about the emperor, mixing Germanic and medieval elements, but in 1848 he decided to write about Siegfried instead.
Visual arts
As the Wittelsbach Dynasty's rise was closely linked to the emperor, in 1166, they integrated an eagle, that represents both the Empire and the Count Palatine of Bavaria, into their coat-of-arms. In 1180, Frederick installed Otto on the ducal throne.
Emperor Frederick Barbarossa receiving the entreaties of his son for peace, around 1409–1415, was a drawing that reflects the composition of scenes commissioned by the Council oF Ten to Pisanello for the Great Council Hall of the Doge's Palace in Venice.
Humiliation of Frederick I Barbarossa by Pope Alexander III was a painting commissioned by the Venetian government, originally painted by Giovanni Bellini. In 1516, after Bellini's death, the commission was transferred to Titian. This one was destroyed by fire in the 1570s. Giorgione might have been a part of the project.
Tintoretto painted the scene of Barbarossa being crowned by Pope Adrian IV, according to Giorgio Vasari.
In 1596, Haarlem commissioned a tapestry depicting Emperor Barbarossa and the Patriarch of Jerusalem bestowing Haarlem with an Augmentation of its Arms. The designer was the Haarlem painter Pieter de Grebber. The tapestry corresponds to a painting of the same subject, also painted by De Grebber made for the Haarlem townhall. Both the tapestry and the painting show the presents bestowed by Emperor Barbarossa and the patriarch of Jerusalem (a silver sword and the Holy Cross) on the city.
Frederick's famous portrait in the Kaisersaal in Frankfurt am Main is part of a series depicting emperors who reigned from 768 to 1806 (created from 1839 to 1853). This portrait is painted by Karl Friedrich Lessing (1808–1880) in 1840. On the ceiling of the Kaisersaal, there is a fresco depicting Beatrice of Burgundy being brought by Apollo as a bride to Frederick, painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770) in 1751. Another fresco on the ceiling by the same artist is Hochzeit des Kaisers Friedrich I. Barbarossa und Beatrice von Burgund depicting the marriage of Frederick and Beatrice.
Other than the Kyffhäuser Monument mentioned above, during the early years of the Second Reich, an iconographical program which associated Frederick with Wilhelm I was carried out in Goslar, centred on the old Kaiserpfalz (Imperial Palace). A famous equestrian statue of Frederick Barbarossa, built by Robert Toberentz ( 1849–1895) in 1893–1895 and erected until 1900, stands in Goslar, with Wilhelm's statue standing nearby (Frederick on the North, Wilhelm on the South). The Kaiserpfalz was decorated with paintings depicting the life of Frederick too, presided over by Johannes Wislicenus, who combined history wỉth fairytale (the German nation as the Sleeping Beauty, or Dornröschen) and saga (the Barbarossa legend), the medieval with the modern. In The proclamation of the Reich, Frederick looked down with approval at the proclamation while Queen Luise was presented as Germania. Other paintings in this program include: Barbarossas Erwachen (Barbarossa awakened), Barbarossas Fußfall vor Heinrich dem Löwen (Barbarossa falling on his knees in front of Henry the Lion, which describes Frederick begging Henry at Chiavenna for military aid against the Lombards in 1176.), Barbarossas Sieg bei Ikonium (Barbarosa's victory in Iconium), Heinrich der Löwe bittet Barbarossa um Verzeihung (Henry the Lion begged Barbarossa for forgiveness, which describes the event in Erfurt in 1181).
Friedrich Barbarossa 1157 zu Besançon, den Streit der Parteien schlichtend (depicting the emperor trying to separate two conflicting parties – here Otto von Wittelsbach, 1120–1183, wants to physically attack the papal legates) is a painting (1859), by Hermann Freihold Plüddemann (1809–1868).
Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794–1872) created several depictions of the emperor, among them the engraving Friedrich Barbarossas Tod (Death of Barbarossa); the painting The Sleep of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa; Einzug Friedrich Barbarossas in Mailand (Frederick Barbarossa entering Milan) (1839/40, encaustic, carton, 585x631 cm, now destroyed).

DeuxMoi (also stylized Deuxmoi or @deuxmoi) is a pseudonymous Instagram account which publishes celebrity gossip.
History
The DeuxMoi account was originally used as a fashion-focused blog by two friends. During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the two account holders asked its followers to share stories about celebrities. The account operator began posting screenshots of direct messages with stories of celebrity encounters for followers to see. The earliest stories concerned, respectively, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. Ownership of the handle, or the identity of those running the account, may have changed in 2021.
Content
The account is known for publishing stories and celebrity information considered mundane, such as food preferences, or reactions to chance encounters with fans. The account's operator has said she does not publish "sad" stories, such as those about "family situations" or "substance abuse". The account does not verify the content it publishes. The account often highlights celebrity visits to New York City restaurants, such as Carbone.
Influence and reception
The account's focus on mundane gossip has been referred to as "toothless". DeuxMoi's focus on sightings at restaurants in New York has led to followers of the account dining at certain venues in the hopes of seeing celebrities.

Potassium tetrafluoronickelate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2NiF4. It features octahedral (high spin) Ni centers with Ni-F bond lengths of 2.006 Å. This green solid is a salt of tetrafluoronickelate. It is prepared by melting a mixture of nickel(II) fluoride, potassium fluoride, and potassium bifluoride. The compound adopts a perovskite-like structure consisting of layers of octahedral Ni centers interconnected by doubly bridging fluoride ligands. The layers are interconnected by potassium cations. It is one of the principal Ruddlesden-Popper phases. Early discoveries on cuprate superconductors focused on compounds with structures closely related to K2NiF4, e.g. lanthanum cuprate and derivative lanthanum barium copper oxide.

Johannes Müller (, also Rellikan or Rellikon, circa 1478-1488 - January 14, 1542) was a Swiss clergyman and theologian of the Reformation in Switzerland, philologist and philosopher, noted for his work in early modern botany.
Rhellicanus first came to prominence as an apt pupil, and then teacher, of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. He studied at the Jagellonian University in Krakow (1517-22), and then at the University of Wittenberg (1522-5).
In 1525, Rhellicanus became a teacher at St. George's Abbey, Stein am Rhein, near Zurich, where he taught Heinrich Bullinger during the latter's five-month stay in 1527 Zurich to study languages and attend the Prophezei; both were followers of Huldrych Zwingli.
Rhellicanus was next appointed Professor of Greek and Philosophy at the new High School of Bern. In 1538, on account of the Bern Disputations, he returned to Zurich, where he was a teacher at the Latin school at Fraumünster. Later, in 1541 he became a pastor in Biel.
Rhellicanus became a botanist in 1536 while visiting the Stockhorn mountain and immersing himself in nature there; he later a didactic poem about the trip, entitled Stockhornia, written in hexameter. In this, he made the earliest known description of the dark vanilla orchid, which was later named gymnadenia rhellicani in his honor. Rhellicanus himself called the plant Christimanus (, "Christ's hand").
Other works of Rhellicanus include an encomium of Johannes Oecolampadius composed in Greek, and a translation into Latin from the Greek of the De Homero (On Homer) of Pseudo-Plutarch, which he entitles Homeri Vita, Ex Plutarcho ("The Life of Homer, From Plutarch")

M-Market is a Finnish grocery store chain. The chain was founded by independent retailers in 2006, which was created as a result of cooperation between retailers who opposed the sale of Spar Finland to SOK and resigned from the chain.
The M-chain's grocery sales (incl. consumer goods) were approximately EUR 98 million in 2015, when the chain's market share of the Finnish grocery trade was estimated at a total of 0.6%. The M-chain's stores are approximately 200–2,500 m2 in size.
The first M-Market stores opened their doors at the beginning of 2006, when 16 stores joined the chain. At the beginning of 2007, the chain already had 50 stores. When the Siwa chain's stores were sold in 2017, 14 new stores were added to the M chain. Today, the chain has about 60 stores.

Neoprotoparmelia capitata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is found in eastern North America.
Taxonomy
The lichen was first formally described by lichenologist James Lendemer in 2008, as a species of Protoparmelia. The type specimen was collected by Richard C. Harris near Archbold Biological Station in Florida, where it was found growing on Carya floridana in scrubland. The specific epithet capitata refers to the characteristic large convex hemispherical soralia. The species was moved to genus Maronina in 2017. In 2018, the taxon was transferred to Neoprotoparmelia, a genus newly circumscribed to contain a group of former Maronina species that had been previously recognized as an independent lineage.
Description
Neoprotoparmelia capitata has a grey to greyish-brown, shiny and smooth to cracked crustose thallus. It often has a dark prothallus (visible as a line around the thallus margin). Soredia typically measure between 16 and 29 μm in diameter; they tend to clump together to form larger head-like ("capitate") soralia that are 0.8–1.25 mm in diameter, and 0.5–0.8 mm tall. Apothecia are rare, and pycnidia are not present. In its medulla, the lichen contains the secondary compounds alectoronic acid and traces of α-collatolic acid
Habitat and distribution
Neoprotoparmelia capitata grows on the bark of hardwood trees in regions of the coastal plain of eastern North America. It tends to grows in subtropical areas, and at the time of its original publication, had been recorded from Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

Liu Dun ( 190s – 220s), courtesy name Ziren, was an official serving under the warlord Sun Quan during the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China.
Life
Liu Dun's ancestral home was Pingyuan (平原). During the chaos of the end of the Han dynasty, he fled to Luling (廬陵) where he was invited to the service of Sun Fu, cousin and general under Sun Quan. Liu Dun took a great interest in astrology and divination, and was renowned for his foresight, purportedly predicting floods, droughts and uprisings in the southern regions. Sun Fu was impressed by Liu Dun's predictions and appointed him as his Military Advisor (軍師 junshi), while among the army itself he became popularly known by the nickname Shenming (神明 "Divine Brilliance").
Liu Dun later served under Sun Quan directly. An anecdote from the Records of the Three Kingdoms describes a conversation between Liu Dun and Sun Quan in Yuzhang during the Jian'an era (196-220), in which Liu Dun apparently predicted the assassination of Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi, the Administrator of Danyang, by Bian Hong (邊鴻) in 203 based on astrological observations.
Liu Dun was also the author of a now-lost tome in a hundred volumes, which was praised by the scholar Diao Xuan (刁玄). However, Liu Dun was also noted for being secretive of his arts and declining to share it with others, resulting in his work becoming increasingly difficult for subsequent generations to understand.

Pinocarveol is an organic compound with the formula C10H16O. It is a bicyclic monoterpenoid, which is a combination of two isoprene units with one hydroxyl group as a substituent. It exists as either trans- or cis-pinocarveol, referring to stereochemical orientation of the oxygen as compared to the methylene bridge. It is a naturally occurring molecule in numerous plant species including Eucalyptus globulus and Picea abies. Pinocarveol is found in a variety of essential oils and turpentine.
Synthesis
Pinocarveol is formed by heating a mixture of turpentine, selenium dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide. The selenium dioxide acts as a catalyst while the hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the pinene found in turpentine. The other products in the turpentine are left unreacted.

William Thomas Jefferson, D.D.S. (August 4, 1864 - October 26, 1925) was an African American who became the first Black dentist to practice dentistry in the United States Army during his military service in the Spanish–American War.
Early life and education
William Thomas Jefferson was born in Washington, D.C. on August 4, 1864. The Jefferson family moved to Derby, Connecticut soon after. Jefferson first started studying dentistry under Frederick B. Merrill in 1886. In 1889, he enrolled in the dentistry school at Howard University. His stay at Howard University would be short however as he transferred to the American College of Dental Surgery, now the Northwestern University Dental School in Chicago. Jefferson graduated in 1891 with a Doctor of dental surgery. and subsequently established a practice in Chicago. Jefferson was a member of the Knights of Pythias.
Military service
in 1895, Jefferson joined Company "D" 9th Battalion, a segregated unit in the Illinois National Guard. He was elected second lieutenant on May 1st of that year, and was subsequently promoted to first lieutenant on November 4, 1895. The Spanish-American War marked a turning point in Jefferson's military service, and the status of dentistry in the military as a whole. For the first time, a large number of United States military personnel were serving outside North America. There were many reports of the oral-related health issues experienced by the American occupation soldiers in Cuba and the Philippines, but there were no dentistry-trained soldiers to provide care.
In addition, yellow fever had spread among the American troops and devastated their ranks. Thus, the United States Department of War deployed Black troops to Cuba and the Philippines, under the incorrect belief that Black people were immune to yellow fever. This false assumption came about during the 1793 Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic where it was thought that Black people were dying at lower rates from the disease than whites, though in actuality Black people died at the same rate as whites during the epidemic.
Jefferson was promoted to the Captain of D Company on July 21, 1898. With the onset of war, D Company was reorganized into the 8th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. In February of 1899, Jefferson's unit was deployed to Cuba and stationed in San Luis. By September 21st of that year, he was diagnosed and hospitalized with malaria, but he continued to serve with his regiment in Cuba. During his deployment. Jefferson provided dental care to his own and two other Black regiments in addition to his line officer responsibilities. In 1899, Jefferson was discharged but he continued his military career in the Illinois National Guard as inspector of training for light infantry with the rank of First lieutenant. Jefferson concurrently served the Illinois National Guard while continuing his Chicago-based dentistry practice.
Later life
In 1899, Jefferson wrote to Senator William E. Mason to obtain an endorsement for his application to create a "Colored Volunteer Regiment" for service in the Philippines. The endorsement was received and the application was sent to the Secretary of State at the time, Elihu Root, who rejected the application on the basis that such volunteer regiments were not necessary.
In 1901, President William McKinley signed the act calling for 30 contract dental surgeons to be attached to the Army Medical Department. Jefferson was the first Black dental surgeon to apply, however he was informed that a candidate from Illinois had already been chosen and that under the act, only one candidate from each state could be selected for appointment. In 1905, Jefferson was told that he was no longer eligible for appointment as a contract dental surgeon because he was over 30 years old. In general, many Black dentists applied for the contract dental surgeon position between 1901 and 1917, but they were all rejected. The office of the Surgeon General was not receptive to idea of Black medical officers until 1917 when the United States' foray into World War 1 necessitated them.
Jefferson continued to serve the Illinois National Guard until 1916. He died in Chicago on October 26, 1925.

Karen Berger (born 1959) is an American writer, long-distance backpacker, and speaker. She is the author of adventure narratives, guidebooks, instructional books, and essays about the U.S. national scenic and historic trails, worldwide trails, and hiking and backpacking skills and techniques.
In 2000, she became the sixth woman to be recognized by the American Long Distance Hikers Association (West) for completing the Triple Crown of Hiking by hiking the Continental Divide Trail (1990), the Appalachian Trail (1994), and the Pacific Crest Trail (1997), a total of nearly 8,000 miles. Those treks, along with additional hiking journeys in the United States, Nepal, Japan, New Zealand, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, England, Scotland, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and Canada, became the foundation for her work as a writer and speaker specializing in hiking and adventure travel. She lives in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.
Biography
Berger was born in New York, New York. She grew up in New Rochelle, New York, and attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
After graduating in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts in music, Berger worked as an editor first for the Instrumentalist (a music magazine), and later, for Longman Financial Services Publishing. In between, she took gap years to travel, hike, write freelance articles, and teach in outdoor education programs. In 1987, she became a book acquisitions editor for Island Press, a Washington, D.C. based publisher specializing in environmental books. In 1988, she was married to Daniel R. Smith, a professor of history at Iona College in New Rochelle.
In 1990, Berger left Island Press and Smith took a sabbatical from Iona; the couple hiked the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail from Mexico to Canada. On their return, they co-authored Where the Waters Divide, a book about their journey, which received national attention. Writing in the San Francisco Chronicle, David Sheridan said "Berger smoothly integrates critical political issues such as Western water policy, fire suppression policy on public lands, the Endangered Species Act and the role of grazing on federal lands, all with a fine sense of history, making for delightful, invigorating reading." In the Flint Journal (Michigan), Tom Powers called it "a grand adventure tale and a thoughtful examination of the myth and reality of the American West." David Sheridan of The Wall Street Journal noted the book for its "good sense of observation and more importantly, a sense of humor."
With publication of Where the Waters Divide, Berger embarked on her career as an author specializing in hiking and adventure travel. She was one of four writers featured in a chapter in the 1997 book edition of Writer's Market about how to be a successful freelancer; her career was also profiled in the American Society of Journalists and Authors publication, ASJA Monthly. She served as a technical consultant for Trailside, a PBS television show about outdoor adventure, for which she wrote three companion books published by W. W. Norton. She was a contributing editor for Backpacker magazine, where she wrote feature articles and three books published by the Mountaineers Books. Berger became the hiking expert at GORP.com, a website that was one of the early Internet's leading outdoor communities. She commissioned and edited articles, wrote feature stories, answered readers’ questions, and moderated forums.
Berger and Smith collaborated on two more books but separated in 2003 and later divorced. Berger moved to the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, where she divided her time between writing and teaching piano. She wrote three books on music for Alpha Books' Complete Idiot's Guide series, as well as more books on hiking and adventure travel. Her articles for print and online periodicals were published in the Saturday Evening Post, NBC News, Outside, and others. From 2000 until 2009, she wrote the instructional “Outdoor Smarts” column for Boy Scouts of America's Scouting magazine. In 2012, she started the travel website, Buckettripper. Starting in 2014, she wrote a series of books for Rizzoli covering the 11 National Scenic Trails, the 19 National Historic Trails, and 38 major global trails. The series received national media coverage from such publications and organizations as USA Today, the Chicago Tribune,Frommer's, Afar, the American Hiking Society, and the Partnership for the National Trails System, and was featured in best-of lists and in gift-book round-ups in the New York Times Book Review, in Associated Press-affiliated newspapers around the United States, and in People Magazine.
Media and Speaking
Berger has appeared as a speaker for organizations such as the Continental Divide Trail Alliance (later reorganized as the Continental Divide Trail Coalition), the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the Pacific Crest Trail Association, and the Smithsonian. She developed a multi-media program about hiking that combined lecturing, a slide show, and live piano music, which she debuted at the 2018 annual meeting of the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association. As a result of her books, speaking, articles, and media about her activities, she became a resource for journalists writing about hiking-related subjects in such publications as The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, U.S.A. Today, and the San Francisco Chronicle. She has appeared as a guest on radio shows on NPR, the Martha Stewart Radio Network, and the Outside Radio Network, as well as local stations.

Luis Rolando Redondo Guifarro (born 20 January 1973 in Tegucigalpa) is a Honduran politician and engineer, serving as deputy and president of the National Congress of Honduras since 25 January 2022.
Early life and career
Reondo began as a businessman in San Pedro Sula. He got involved supporting the Honduran National Team, traveling everywhere they played, becoming head of the barra since 2004. In that same year he met Salvador Nasralla, with whom he began a friendship. He traveled to the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, along with the national team. In 2011, he supported Nasralla for the creation of the Anti-Corruption Party and, in turn, became a candidate for deputy to Congress, in the 2013 election, in which he was elected.
Presidential dispute
In 2016, a crisis began within the Anti-Corruption Party with Nasralla being accused of being "badly advised" which led to a dispute between Nasralla and Marlene Alvarenga about which of them would become the party's presidential candidate, the latter winning the dispute, while Nasralla would be appointed as the LIBRE-PINU presidential candidate. Redondo left PAC and joined PINU to run for Congress, being elected.
Congressional president and leadership dispute
In October 2021, the presidential candidates for PSH and LIBRE, Salvador Nasralla and Xiomara Castro, respectively, struck an alliance. Part of the agreement for Nasralla to step down as a candidate and endorse Castro was that if they were able to gain a majority in Congress, the speaker would be a member of the Savior Party. Castro's party won 50 seats, whilst Nasralla's party won 10. On December 23, during a livestream, Nasralla announced his endorsement for Luis Redondo to become the President of the Congress. The next morning, Castro followed suit. When the newly elected congress voted for a congressional president on 21 January 2022, 18 deputies from Castro's party refused to honour the agreement. Instead, they voted for Jorge Cálix, a member of LIBRE, rather than Redondo. Nasralla commented on the incident as "another coup like in 2009". As a consequence, the 18 deputies were expelled from LIBRE. The dispute was resolved when Cálix and the expelled deputies agreed to support Redondo. Their membership of LIBRE was restored by Castro.

The conversion of Dalits from Hinduism to Buddhism started after the conversion of B. R. Ambedkar and the movement is continued in modern-India mainly in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. There have been numerous incidents where Dalits have converted from Hinduism to Buddhism, due to Caste-related violence.
Christianity
The first conversion to Christianity in India was by the Dalits of South India, though during the Company rule there was also a massive conversion of Hindus, mainly Dalits to Christianity. Even in modern times, there is a conversion of Dalit Hindus to Christianity in India, Pakistan and Nepal.
Islam
Re-conversion
Many Hindu organisations such as Arya Samaj and Vishva Hindu Parishad have worked extensively for bringing Dalits back to Hinduism in the form of Gharwapsi movement from Islam and Christianity. There has also been a demand of caste-less Hindu society and has been integrating Dalits in the movement of Hindutva.

Dương Tử Giang (1915-1956), born as Nguyễn Tấn Sĩ, was a Vietnamese writer, journalist, playwright and revolutionary.
He was known for his patriotic activities against the invasion of France during the First Indochina War and against the pro-US Saigon government during the Vietnam War.
His pen-name Dương Tử Giang (揚子江) means "Yangtze River".
A street in current Ho Chi Minh City was named after Dương Tử Giang. An awards named Dương Tử Giang was also established for meritable journalists in Đồng Nai province.
Childhood and pre-1945 activities
Dương Tử Giang was born as Nguyễn Tấn Sĩ in Giồng Trôm or Nhơn Thạnh district, Bến Tre province, from a well-to-do landowner family. His birthday was recorded as 15 March 1915, although some sources claimed his birth year was 1914 with unknown date. He attended highschool in Mỹ Tho and managed to finish the Indochina upper primary level together with two Brevet diploma in 1933. He did not planned to finish highschool program, however, and dropped school to open a small bookstore and barbershop in Mỹ Tho. He began to involved in literature and arts during this time, wrote several novels including "Pathology" (1937) and "Chicken and dog" (1939). In 1936 established a tuồng troupe due to his interest in this kind of theatre art. However the troupe ended up in debts end eventual bankrupt due to Giang's poor business experience and also to the play's novel theme which was unfamiliar with contemporary viewers. He later worked as a teacher at Thủ Đức Primary school (Saigon), and a secretary at Hà Tiên Department of Commerce. He got addicted to cockfight and was accused of fund missapropriation. He then fled to the Tà Lơn mountain until the 1944 Japan coup in Indochina.
Dương Tử Giang was exposed to the misreable life of common people during his various relocation at that time, which intensified his hatred toward foreign power's colonial rule in Indochina. Returned to Saigon, Dương Tử Giang took part in journalism to express his patriotic messages. From 1943 to 1944 he wrote for the newspapers "Public opinion" of Dương Trung Thực, "Tommorow" of Đào Trinh Nhất, "Living" of Đông Hồ and Trúc Hà, "Youth" of Huỳnh Tấn Phát, and "Happiness" of Lê Tràng Kiều, Hồ Tăng Ấn và Nguyễn Bính. During the huge 1944 inflation in Indochina, Dương Tử Giang wrote an article on the "Happiness" newspaper, strongly criticized the monetary policy of Japanese-controlled authorities and called for a popular uprising. The newspaper was inevitably closed and its owner was summoned to court. It was the first time, and not the only time, a newspaper was closed due to Dương Tử Giang's patriotic theme in his articles.
After August Revolution and during the First Indochina War
Dương Tử Giang continued his journalism career after the August Revolution, this time to support the independece of Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) and its resistance war against France during the First Indochina War. Together with Vũ Tùng and Thiếu Sơn, Dương Tử Giang joined Justice, an institute of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) in Indochina. He first wrote for DRV newspapers "New Youth" and "Tommorow", and since November 1946 he established the newspaper "Culture" to criticized the pro-French Saigon governments and express support to Viet Minh and Ho Chi Minh. The newspaper was forced to closed in early 1947 due to an article openly criticized the French invasion and war crimes against Vietnamese people. Dương Tử Giang himself was imprisoned in the Catinat facility of Maison Centrale de Saigon. In the prison he took part in organiztation of two secret newspapers "Voices of Prison" and "Nights in the Maison Centrale". Released after three months, Dương Tử Giang had Lý Vĩnh Khuôn established the newspaper "Today... Tommorrow", which was also forced to close after an article openly praising Hồ Chí Minh in its cover page. In March 1948, Dương Tử Giang worked for "Justice", another short-lived anti-French newspaper led by Fernand le Gros. He wrote for another short-lived "Em" in August 1948, which also was forced to close in November due to Dương Tử Giang's anti-French articles. In January 1949, the newspaper "Việt Báo" received a harsh warning from the pro-French authorities, again because of the same reason.
In May 1950, due to Dương Tử Giang's anti-French speech at the funeral of Nam Quốc Cang (a journalist allegedly assassinated by French secret agents), the pro-French Saigon regime put a warrant on him. Unable to conduct legal activities in Saigon, Dương Tử Giang relocated to Viet Minh controlled areas and, together with Thiếu Sơn, wrote for Viet Minh's "National Salvation" newspaper. He also took part in Viet Minh's cultural and art activities, and wrote several tuồng plays.
After the 1954 Geneva Accord and death
After the 1954 Geneva Accord, Dương Tử Giang together with Thiếu Sơn, Lý Văn Sâm, and others, was tasked to keep their journalism career in Saigon, at that time still under a pro-French and then pro-America government. Despite financial difficulties and issues in private life, Dương Tử Giang resumed his activities with high vigor. He establish the "Common people" newspaper, and wrote for the "Justice", "Telegram", and "Modernization", with similar theme of patriotism, left-leaning, and unification of Vietnam. Dương Tử Giang's activities attracted hostilities from the anti-communist Ngô Đình Diệm regime and he was arrested on 8 October 1955 with the accusation of being a Communist. He was interrogated, tortured, and imprisoned first in Catinat facility, then in Tân Hiệp prison in Biên Hoà. In prison Dương Tử Giang comtinued his revolutionary activities, he took part in political propaganda and various arts, cultural and literature activities for the prison inmates. He wrote a patriotic cải lương play named "Debt for nation" during the imprisonment.
Dương Tử Giang, together with his close friend Lý Văn Sâm, took part in a huge prison breakout on 2 December 1956, organized by local Communist committee amongst the prison inmates. The successful breakout managed to release 500 political prisoners, but Dương Tử Giang was fatally shot and died of wound during the escape, at the age of 41.

Lieutenant-general Sir Charles Felix Smith, (1786 – 1858), Colonel Commandant of Royal Engineers, was an English army officer.
Life
Early life
Charles Felix Smith, second son of George Smith of Burn Hall, County Durham, by his wife Juliet, daughter and sole heiress of Richard Mott of Carlton, Suffolk, was born on 9 July 1786 at Piercefield, Monmouthshire. Elizabeth Smith was his sister, and George Smith (1693–1756) was his great-grandfather. He joined the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich on 15 June 1801, and received a commission as second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 1 October 1802. On the 9th of the same month he was promoted to be first lieutenant. He was sent to the south-eastern military district, and was employed on the defences of the south coast of Kent.
West Indies
On 16 December 1804 he embarked for the West Indies, where he served under Sir Charles Shipley, the commanding Royal Engineer. He was promoted to be second captain on 18 November 1807. In December 1807 he accompanied the expedition under General Bowyer from Barbados against the Danish West India Islands, and took part under Shipley in the operations which resulted in the capture of St. Thomas, St. John, and Santa Cruz. In January 1809 he accompanied the expedition under Sir George Beckwith to attack Martinique, and took part under Shipley in the attack on, and capture of, Pigeon Island on 4 February, and in the siege and capture of Fort Bourbon, which led to the capitulation of the whole island on 23 February. He was severely wounded on this occasion, and on his return to England on 31 March 1810 he received a pension of 100l. per annum for his wounds.
Peninsular War
On 25 October of the same year Smith embarked for the Peninsula, and joined the force of Sir Thomas Graham at Cadiz, then blockaded by the French. In the spring of 1811 an attempt to raise the siege was made by sending a force by water to Tarifa to march on the flank of the enemy, while at the same time a sortie was made by the garrison of Cadiz and La Isla across the river San Pedro. Smith was left in Cadiz as senior engineer officer in charge of it, as well as of La Isla and the adjacent country, during the operations which comprised the Battle of Barrosa (5 March 1811). In spite of this victory the siege was not raised, and the British retired within the lines of La Isla.
Smith's health suffered a good deal at Cadiz, and he was sent to Tarifa, near Gibraltar, where he was commanding Royal Engineer during the Siege of Tarifa by the French, eight thousand strong, under General Laval. Colonel Skerrett commanded the garrison, which was made up of drafts from regiments at Gibraltar and Spanish details, numbering some 2,300 men. The outposts were driven in on 19 December, and in ten days the French batteries opened fire. During this time Smith was busy making such preparations as he could for the defence of a very weak place. When, however, a gaping breach was made by the French after a few hours' firing, Skerrett called a council of war, proposed to abandon the defence, to embark the garrison on board the transports lying in the roadstead, and to sail for Gibraltar. Smith vehemently opposed the proposal, and prepared to make the most desperate resistance. Intimation of the state of affairs was sent to the Governor of Gibraltar, who promptly removed the transports and so compelled Skerrett to hold out. He also arranged to send assistance from Gibraltar. On 31 December 1811 the French made an unsuccessful assault. Bad weather and a continuous downpour of rain greatly damaged the French batteries and trenches, and supply became difficult owing to the state of the roads. On the night of 4 January 1812 it became known to the garrison that the French were preparing to raise the siege, and on the morning of the 5th the allies assumed the offensive, drove the French from their batteries and trenches, and compelled them to make a hurried retreat, leaving everything in the hands of the garrison. By general consent the chief merit of the defence has been given to Smith. Napier, in his History of the War in the Peninsula, points out that though Skerrett eventually yielded to Smith's energy, he did it with reluctance, and constantly during the siege impeded the works by calling off the labourers to prepare posts of retreat. "To the British engineer, therefore, belongs the praise of this splendid action".
Smith was promoted for his services at Tarifa to be brevet major, to date from 31 December 1811. He was promoted to be first captain in the Royal Engineers on 12 April 1812, and returned to Cadiz, where he was commanding Royal Engineer until the siege was raised in July of that year. In the following year he took part in the Battle of Osma (18 June 1813), the Battle of Vitoria (21 June), and the engagements at Villa Franca and Tolosa (24 and 25 June), when he had a horse shot under him. He accompanied Sir Thomas Graham on 1 July to take part in the Siege of San Sebastian. On the visit of the Duke of wellington on the 12th, he attended him round the positions as senior officer (for the time being) of Royal Engineers, and his proposed plans of operation met with Wellington's approval. The place fell on 9 September, and, having been mentioned in Graham's despatch, Smith was promoted to be brevet lieutenant-colonel on 21 September 1813 "for conduct before the enemy at San Sebastian".
Smith arrived in Belgium and Holland from the south of France in July 1814, and reached England in August. He was knighted by the Prince Regent on 10 November, and on the same date he received permission to accept and wear the Crosses of the Royal Orders of Carlos III and San Fernando of Spain, given to him by the King for his services in the Peninsula, particularly at the defence of Tarifa. On 28 April 1815 he was appointed Commanding Royal Engineer of the Sussex military district. On 4 June he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath, military division. He received the Gold Medal with clasp for Vittoria and San Sebastian. The previous pension of 100l. for his wounds at Martinique was increased to 300l. a year on 18 June 1815, as he had partially lost the sight of an eye in the Peninsula.
Hundred Days
On 19 June 1815 Smith joined the British army in Belgium as Commanding Royal Engineer of the Second Corps, marched with it to Paris, and took part in the entry into that city on 7 July. He was one of the officers selected by the Duke of Wellington to take over the French fortresses to be occupied by the British. He remained with the army of occupation and commanded the Engineers at Vincennes. He was one of the officers who introduced stage-coaches-and-four into Paris. The coaches used to meet opposite Demidoff's house, afterwards the Café de Paris. He was also a great supporter of the turf, and was the first to import English thoroughbred horses for racing. His trainer was Tom Hurst, afterwards of Chantilly. He organised races at Vincennes, and the racing there was considerably superior to that under royal patronage in the Champ de Mars. Smith was a noted duellist, and was equally at home with rapier, sabre, and pistol. Although never seeking a quarrel, he never permitted an insult, and he killed three Frenchmen in duels during his stay in Paris. He was also an expert boxer. He returned to England on 8 November 1818.
Peacetime
Smith was employed in the south of England as Commanding Royal Engineer until 1 January 1823, when he was appointed Commanding Royal Engineer in the West Indies, with headquarters at Barbados. With eleven different island colonies occupied by troops, he had only five officers of Royal Engineers under him, and was obliged to supplement his staff by making eleven officers of the line assistant engineers. A commission sent from England in 1823 to report on requirements in the West Indies recommended the addition of fourteen military engineers to the establishment to enable the work to be properly carried out. Smith was promoted to be lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Engineers on 29 July 1825, and to be colonel in the army on 22 July 1830. During the fourteen consecutive years which he passed in the West Indies he was acting Governor of Trinidad in 1828, in 1830, and during the whole of 1831. In 1833 he was acting Governor of Demerara and Berbice, and in 1834 of St. Lucia. He commanded the forces in the West Indies from June 1836 to February 1837. He was promoted to be colonel in the Royal Engineers on 10 January 1837. He received the thanks of Lord Hill, the general commanding-in-chief, for his exercise of military command in the West Indies.
Second Egyptian–Ottoman War
On 8 May 1837 Smith was appointed Commanding Royal Engineer at Gibraltar, where in 1838 he was acting Governor and commanded the forces. He returned to England in the summer of 1840 to go on particular service to Syria, for which duty he had been specially selected. He embarked in the Pique frigate on 9 August 1840, arriving at Beyrout on 1 September. A landing was effected on the 10th, but Smith was too ill to take active command. He was invested, by imperial firman dated 30 September 1840, with the command of the Sultan's army in Syria, and on 9 October following was given by the British Government the local rank of major-general in Syria in command of the allied land forces. After a bombardment Beyrout surrendered on 11 October. On 3 November Smith took part in the attack on, and capture of, St. Jean d'Acre, where he was severely wounded. Upon him devolved the duty of repairing the injuries done to the fortifications by the British fire and of putting the place in a state of defence again, in addition to the adoption of measures for the temporary administration of the Pashalic of Acre.
Later life and death
Smith returned to his command at Gibraltar in March 1841. For his services in Syria he received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament and also of the Government, through Lord Palmerston; the Sultan presented him with the Nishan Ichtatha and Diamond Medal and Sword. He was granted one year's pay for his wound at St. Jean d'Acre. He was promoted to be major-general in the army on 23 November 1841, returned home from Gibraltar on 15 May 1842, and was made a Knight Commander of the Bath (military division) on 27 September 1843.
On 1 June 1847 Smith was granted the Silver Medal, then bestowed upon surviving officers of the wars from 1806 to 1814 for their services. He had also a clasp for Martinique, and received the Naval Medal for Syria. He was employed on special service as a major-general on the staff in Ireland during the disturbances of 1848. He was promoted to be lieutenant-general on 11 November 1851, and Colonel-Commandant of the Corps of Royal Engineers on 6 March 1856. He died at Worthing, Sussex, on 11 August 1858.
Smith married, first, in 1821, a daughter of Thomas Bell, Esq., of Bristol (she died at their residence in Onslow Square, London, on 18 June 1849); and, secondly, in 1852, the eldest daughter of Thomas Croft, Esq. There was no issue of either marriage.

Chesús Gregorio Bernal Bernal (8 January 1960 – 22 March 2019) was a Spanish academic and politician. He was a professor at the University of Zaragoza, specialising in Romance languages. In 1986, he co-founded the Chunta Aragonesista (CHA), and served in the Cortes of Aragon from 1995 to 2011.
Biography
Bernal was born in Valtorres in the Province of Zaragoza. He began his studies in Romance Philology at the University of Salamanca but finished it at the University of Zaragoza. He specialised in the French language, though his doctoral thesis was on Occitan. He and Francho Nagore edited a 1999 dictionary of the Aragonese language. He taught French at his alma mater, where he was a professor.
On holiday in Galicia in 1986, he studied left-wing Galician nationalism, meeting with Camilo Nogueira of the Galician Left. Inspired by this research, later that year he was a founding member of the Chunta Aragonesista (CHA), and was their leader as they entered the Cortes of Aragon in the 1995 elections, staying in office until 2011. In the 2003 elections, CHA had their best results, coming third with nine deputies, but regional president Marcelino Iglesias (PSOE) preferred a coalition with the eight deputies of the Aragonese Party (PAR).
Bernal was married to journalist Elena Bandrés, who was also a professor at the University of Zaragoza; they had three sons. He was a fan of Real Zaragoza, and went to watch the team in the last week of his illness.
Bernal died of pancreatic cancer in Zaragoza at the age of 59. He lay in rest at the Aljafería, the seat of the Cortes of Aragon. Tributes were paid by local and regional politicians of all parties. In May 2021, a sociocultural centre in Valtorres was named after him.

It is the only Higher School of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage in Galicia and the northwest of Spain.
Location
The building is located at 1, General Martitegui Street in Pontevedra.
History
The Royal House of the Maestranza was built by Iñigo Melchor Fernández de Velasco, Constable of Castile and León and Captain General of Galicia between 1665 and 1668. It was built with stone from the demolition of houses in the A Moureira neighbourhood, which had been left abandoned at the end of the previous century. It was a one-storey building with four wings and a large central courtyard, whose initial function was to house soldiers in transit during the war with Portugal (1640–1668).
The English invasion of 1719 led by General Homobod ruined the building, which at that time was used as a storehouse for old weapons, grenades, bombs, gunpowder and some melted down artillery. After the invasion and capitulation of Pontevedra on 25 Octobrer 1719 small consolidation works were carried out, such as repairing the roofs. The building was so badly damaged that the soldiers had to be accommodated in different barracks in the city.
The municipality of Pontevedra asked the Bourbon monarchy to rebuild the Real Maestranza. The procedures for the reconstruction of the barracks began with the order of the Intendant Francisco Salvador de Pineda, to accommodate a cavalry squadron of the Montesa Regiment in the city. The Minister of War, the Duke of Montemar, ordered the military engineer Antonio Flobert to draw up the plans for the new building (preserved in the General Archive of Simancas in the province of Valladolid).
The Real Maestranza began to be rebuilt in the year 1738. The construction designed by Antonio Flobert took advantage of the walls of the previous barracks and the heraldry. The barracks was named Saint Ferdinand and was later renovated and enlarged. It was used as a gun factory during the Spanish War of Independence. From the end of the 18th century, the Princess Infantry Regiment was based in this barracks. In 1807 it was led by the Count of San Román.
At the end of the 19th century, the barracks were in a state of ruin and it was decided to demolish them to construct a new building. The current building, which dates from the end of the 19th century, was completed in 1900 and was designed by the architect Méndez Conde. The building was restructured in 1905 to accommodate a larger garrison. In front of its façade, the Count de la Peña del Moro Field was redesigned, adding trees and gardens and a street at the entrance to the barracks. The transverse street of the Maestranza was also redesigned in 1911, under the name of General Martitegui Street, after the demolition of some houses. In the 20th century, among its military functions, the barracks housed Company No. 83 of the Military police and the Parks and Garages Unit.
The definitive abandonment of the barracks by the military took place on 15 December 1992 in a military protocol ceremony held in the inner courtyard of the building, in the presence of all the local authorities. The property was handed over to the municipality of Pontevedra, which transferred it to the Xunta de Galicia. The renovation project was entrusted to the architect César Portela. The remodelling was complex as it transformed a closed barracks into an open and luminous space for artistic education.
Between December 1994 and January 1995, the renovation of the building intended to house the Galician Higher School of Cultural Heritage was completed. In 1995, the school, created in 1991, moved in..
Architecture
It is a large rectangular building in the eclectic style. It has a ground floor and two upper floors, with rectangular windows, balcony Parapets and Lintels forming auricles, typical of the 19th century in Pontevedra.
The central part of the façade, where the entrance door is located, the base, the balcony parapets and the window and door lintels are made of granite. The façade is crowned at the top by the Spanish coat of arms, also in granite.
During the exterior renovation of the facade in 1994, the plaster of the walls where the masonry was visible was recovered and the colour guava was applied to it.
Inside the building, the large central courtyard is remarkable. After the 1995 and 2006 remodelling, it was given a perimeter body for circulation in the form of a glass gallery, and a cubic room, also made of glass, was introduced into the interior, containing the large, flexible studios for sculpture, drawing and painting. A new floor was also created under the roof of the existing building to house the library, a documentation and information centre and other workshops, all with overhead lighting.
The school
The school has been offering conservation and restoration studies since 12 January 1992. It awards the Higher Diploma in Conservation and Restoration of Heritage and Cultural Property. It is the second oldest training centre for the conservation and restoration of heritage in Spain. The creation of the Higher School of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Property of Galicia in Pontevedra dates back to 1991 with Decree 352/1991 of 17 October (DOG (Official Galician Journal) of 24 October).
The training
The studies last four years, the first two years being common and the last two years being specialised. The three specialities taught in this institution are conservation-restoration of sculptural assets, conservation-restoration of pictorial assets and conservation-restoration of archaeological assets.
The first two years of study focus on conservation and restoration techniques, with a study of biology, physics and chemistry related to restoration and art history. In the final two years, there is a specialisation according to the option chosen, in which the technique and theory of each section are studied in depth.
Admission of cultural heritage conservators
The school is public and requires a high school degree and a specific admission exam. The exam consists of two parts: a textual analysis (related to the school's subjects) and a plastic arts exam (for example, that a colour is degraded in three phases using white).
Documentary resources
The institution's library has more than 9,000 volumes, of which almost 6,000 were donated in July 2020 by the heirs of the doctor Manuel Carballal Lugrís, who lived in Pontevedra.

Lanthanum cuprate usually refers to the inorganic compound with the formula CuLa2O4. The name implies that the compound consists of a cuprate (CuOn]2n-) salt of lanthanum (La3+). In fact it is a highly covalent solid. It is prepared by high temperature reaction of lanthanum oxide and copper(II) oxide follow by annealing under oxygen.
The material adopts a tetragonal structure related topotassium tetrafluoronickelate (K2NiF4), which is orthorhombic. Replacement of some lanthanum by barium gives the quaternary phase CuLa1.85Ba0.15O4, called lanthanum barium copper oxide. That doped material displays superconductivity at −243 K, which at the time of its discovery was a high temperature. This discovery initiated research on cuprate superconductors and was the basis of a Nobel Prize in Physics to Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller.

Vanda dives is a species of epiphytic orchid native to Vietnam and Laos.
Description
This species is very atypical for its genus. It is the sole representative of the section Eparmostigma within the genus Vanda. While the vegetative morphology does resemple other Vanda species, the generative morphology does not. Genetic evidence however confirms its position within the genus Vanda.
These epiphytic herbs show pendent growth. Few linear leaves are produced on a short, compressed stem. The leaf apex is obliquely bilobed. Between April to May minute, white, moderately fleshy flowers with a relatively large, spurred labellum in relation to petals and sepals, are produced on densely many-flowered axillary racemes. The specific epithet dives is derived from Latin, meaning rich or wealthy. It refers to the many-flowered inflorescences.
In Laos this species was found growing epiphytically in shaded forests on limestone hills at elevations of 650 m. In Vietnam it was found at elevations of 200 m in mixed, semi-deciduous forests. It was originally thought to be endemic to Vietnam.
Conservation
This species is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade. The conservation status in unknown.

Dunging was a process used in textile manufacturing to finish printed textiles, particularly those printed with aluminium or iron mordants.It was a process of exposing mordanted products into a solution of cow dung and hot water. Dunging was used to fix mordants as well as remove unfixed mordants and thickening agents from the fabric.
A mordant is a chemical that fixes a dye on a material by reacting with the dye to generate an insoluble compound.
Etymology
The treatment got its name from the cow dung that was the primary ingredient used in the formulation. Later, the process was substituted by certain chemical substances such as molybdic acid, arsenic, or phosphoric acid or soluble salts of tungstic acid.
Objective
Dunging is followed by printing and the ageing process.Dunging removes the thickening agents used in printing and also aids in the detachment of mordants that are only lightly adhered. Additionally, it completes the mordant's fixation on the material and makes it ready and compatible with the dye.

Established as a family partnership company in 1962, it was renamed to its current name following its split-up in December 2004. As of 2021, it owned around 600 gas stations across Saudi Arabia, holding a 5.3% stake in the country's 11,000 fuel stations.
History
Early origins
Sheikh Mohammed Saad Aldrees started his business career in 1938 (1356 Hijri) by trading live stocks such as goats, sheep and camels in the al-Artawiyah village of Saudi Arabia. He later began providing transportation facilities for parcels and government mails. He purchased his first truck in the 1940s and included it in his transportation business. In 1957, he opened his first gas station in Riyadh which consisted of four barrels and one hose for supplying gasoline.
Establishment
Sheikh Aldrees founded the Mohammed Saad Aldrees and Sons Company Limited with his four sons on September 12, 1962 as a family partnership company that offered services in petroleum retailing as well as in logistics.

Voan Savay is a Cambodian dancer and director of performing arts, considered as "the last Apsara of Cambodia" and a "legendary former prima ballerina of the Cambodian Royal Ballet".
Biography
A child prodigy of the Khmer Royal Ballet
Voan Savay was born in 1950. As a child, she was introduced to the Khmer Royal Ballet at the Royal Palace. At age 12, she started travelling across Cambodia with the Khmer Royal Ballet for performances. In 1965, at the age of 15, she was crowned the prima ballerina or principal dancer, where she punctually replaced princess Bopha Devi, a position she held until 1970 when the royal family collapsed.
In 1965, she joined the first trip to China with Khmer Royal Ballet. In 1971, Voan Savay was the star Apsara dancer with the Khmer Royal Ballet troupe when they went on tour to the United States.
A survivor in hiding during the terror of the Khmers Rouges
During the terrible years of the Khmer Rouge regime, Voan Savay kept her background a secret and hid her identity in order to survive.
Fleeing Kampuchea to dance in the camps
Following the fall of the regime in 1979, Voan moved back to Phnom Penh and married another dancer, Van Roeun, a folk dancer, who was a graduate of the Royal University of Fine Arts. Though she managed to perform for the Communist government, her life was still miserable and in 1981, she and her husband decided to leave Cambodia and headed towards a refugee camp on the Thai border where she set up a dance school in the Cultural center of Site Two Refugee Camp with the help of the United Nations Border Relief Operation and Catholic Office for Emergency Relief and Refugees as the artists lacked costumes, musical instruments and equipment required for the performances.
There, Voan Savay managed to find more than 100 dancers, and reunited with a former palace musician, Proeung Pruon, who had accompanied
her when she danced in the 1960s and early 1970s. He and other accomplished artists formed a pin peat ensemble in Ampil sub-camp of Site 2, specifically for the classical dances. Savay started to document the dance. She began to notate, in narrative form, gestures and movements for particular characters in the classical repertoire. Before the war and revolution, no such documentation had been undertaken in Cambodia.
Returning to democracy and to Cambodia
In 1991, after almost a decade in the camps, Voan and her young dancers were invited to the United States of America to carry out a three-month tour, during which she helped set up the Khmer Royal Ballet in California. As democracy returned to Cambodia, she settled back in Phnom Penh, but after the 1997 coup, she fled the country once more to find asylum in France, where she and her husband lived for two decades teaching Cambodian traditional dance.
Fiding asylum in France
During her asylum in France, Voan Savay helped various Cambodian associations in the Paris region as well as in Montreal, including Selepak-Khmer, and Cabaret des Oiseaux.
She also contributed to the restoration of the BCK Association, Ballet Classique Khmer de Paris, along with Prince Tesso Sisowath and Princess Vichara Norodom.
Returning to Cambodia for the sake of art
After two decades in France, Voan Savay re-established herself in Phnom Penh in 2016 at the invitation of Princess Buphadevi and Prince Tesso Sissowath who were eager to transmit the heritage of the last living apsara of Cambodia. She became an artistic director at the Center of Cambodian Living Arts (ECLA) with director Jean-Baptiste Phou.
In 2018, Voan Savay organized a collaboration with students from France's 'Conservatoire de danse de Bagnolet and her own Children of Bassac, all aged 12 to 17, featuring a mix of Western classical and contemporary ballet, as well as Cambodian folk and classical dance. It was titled De l’Ombre à la Lumière – “From shadow to light” with as a finale an original choreography by Edith Bellomo, professor at the Conservatory.
On top of teaching, she continues to play an active role in the Khmer Ballet in which she still performed in 2018 at age 68, with an unfading enthusiasm and energy.
Legacy
Renewing the traditional kbach of Khmer ballet
Voan Savay is trying to rebuild Cambodia’s traditional dance to what it was in its heyday. She says there were 4,500 moves or kbach originally, however, only 1,000 have survived the test of time.
To that end, Voan Savay has trained and inspired a whole new generation of Khmer ballerines, such as Sam Sathya.
Dance as therapy
Voan Savay relied on the transmission of the Royal Khmer Ballet in the camps to protect the human dignity and rights of the refugees, so they could continue to live through their national heritage and pride. Voan Savay believes art can be a form of therapy. Accordingly, in order to help heal the trauma and PTSD from the years of war and misery in Cambodia, the swift motions and dexterous articulations of the Khmer royal ballet can help heal a certain form of mental paralysis. This healing through dance can also apply to the audience:
"[The audience] can forget about the sorrow of the moment, and bring themselves into our ancient times, converge themselves with this state, and find a measure of peace for their feelings. They can come to understand that now, this is what this modern time is, but their true spirit as it was before is actually like that."
Evolution of the Khmer Royal Ballet
Beyond restoring the Khmer Royal Ballet, Voan Savay also acknowledges and encourages a certain evolution. As such, the dance has gone from a sacred rite to a more personal expression of a psychological drama. This is seen in the evolution from the theatrical whiteface covering up any facial emotion of the dancers under King Sisowath of Cambodia to a more expressive form of dancing which be manifested either through pain or joyful smiles nowadays.
