In biology, mimesis (from ancient Greek μίμησις mímēsis, "imitation") refers to a form of crypsis where living creatures mimic the form, colour and posture of their surroundings to avoid being noticed from their surroundings by predators depending on sight. Mimesis is a form of crypsis and thus differs from mimicry, which is a form of aposematism. In English mimesis is often counted as a form of mimicry.
Mimesis can be divided by the type of objects being mimicked:
Zoomimesis refers to mimicry of different animals. Contrary to mimicry, in zoomimesis the model animal is neither poisonous or capable of putting up a fight. Examples include various visitor species of ants (myrmecophily), resembling the ants in whose nests they live.
Phytomimesis refers to mimicry of plants or parts of plants. Some geometer moths resemble thin twigs in appearance. Stick insects have a body shape resembling twigs or leaves (as in walking leaves). Notodontidae moths resemble the bark of deciduous trees. Some species in this family, such as the alder kitten and the sallow kitten have cocoons resembling tree bark. Some potoo birds resemble broken branches.
Allomimesis refers to mimicry of lifeless objects. Some small butterflies resemble bird droppings. Some species of fig-marigolds living in African deserts resemble stones and are thus known as "living stones".
This type of mimicry developed already 50 million years ago in micromoths, whose quivers in their larval stage resembled the forest soil. Evidence of this has been preserved in Baltic amber.

Indigenous Librarianship is a distinct field of librarianship brings Indigenous approaches to areas such as knowledge organization, collection development, library and information services, language and cultural practices, education, and numerous other areas. As a distinct field, Indigenous librarianship is supported by a number of professional associations, a distinct and growing body of research, and both professional and educational initiatives. Indigenous librarianship can be practised by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous librarians. While Indigenous librarianship is practised all over the world, the largest centres of activity are in Aotearoa, Australia, Canada, and the United States.
Indigenous librarianship centres the interests, practices, needs, and support of Indigenous peoples. Because of this, Indigenous culture and concerns are used to guide and implement library and information practices. Ensuring practice advances Indigenous interests, such as sovereignty and self-determination, are key aspects of Indigenous librarianship. Frameworks such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are used a key mechanisms for ensuring practice and research are ethical and centring Indigenous rights. For example, using appropriate and respectful cultural protocols for the handling of Indigenous knowledge, including traditional knowledge, are one way Indigenous librarianship is practised and potentially contrasts or is in conflict with non-Indigenous librarianship as practice and research heavily influenced by colonialism. Because Indigenous librarianship is connected to the advancement of Indigenous rights it has been deemed to be more political than other forms of librarianship.
Education programs for Indigenous librarianship
North America
In North America librarians are typically expected to have a master's degree accredited by the ALA. Some universities offer specialized programs in Indigenous librarianship. The University of British Columbia offers a First Nation Curriculum Concentration for both their Master of Archival Studies and Master of Library and Information Studies. At the University of Arizona School of Information, M.A. Library and Information Science students can apply to the Knowledge River Program, which focuses on the information needs of Latino, Native American and Black communities. In 2021, the Bridging Knowledge program was announced, which will support 15 American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students to earn Masters of Library and Information Science through San José State University School of Information.
Indigenous libraries
There are several libraries throughout the world that focus on serving Indigenous communities. These include:
The Xwi7xwa Library is a branch of the University of British Columbia Library, in Vancouver Canada. The Xwi7xwa Library has a collection focusing on First Nations in British Columbia, which organizes it's collection with an updated version of the Brian Deer Classification System.
The State Library of Queensland created kuril dhagun, which was the first Indigenous Knowledge Centre in a State Library in Australia. Kuril dhagun is staffed by a team of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and acts as a meeting and learning space for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
A variety of Tribal Libraries in America including Haines Borough Public Library in Alaska, the James E. Shanley Tribal Library, and the Kinyaa'áanii Charlie Benally Library. Tribal Libraries act as libraries as well as archives, language repositories, and community gathering places.

The Rural, Native, and Tribal Libraries of All Kinds Committee is a committee that serves as a part of the American Library Association. They make the statement that they are advocating for the needs of rural and Indigenous communities in regards to libraries. They provide information on advocacy from libraries for Indigenous communities.
The Native American Archives Section is a subsection of the Society of American Archivists. The subsection was created in 2005 as a way to discuss Indigenous issues in relation to archival studies. In 2018 they implemented the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials to bring these protocols to a wider array of archival settings.
The Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATLA) is a nonprofit organization that focuses on preserving the cultural sovereignty of Indigenous nations, particularly in regards to GLAM studies and work. The organization holds workshops, conferences and institutes to help deliver these efforts.
The National Indigenous Knowledge and Language Alliance is located in Canada
Indigenous Knowledge Organization (IKO)
Compared with Knowledge Organization (KO), Indigenous Knowledge Organization (IKO) are the methodologies that Native and Indigenous peoples create protocols to help name, articulate, collate, and make accessible objects that indicate Indigenous knowledge. The main criticism of existing KO practices by IKO scholars is that traditional means of cataloguing and classifying literature results in the marginalization, omission, or misrepresentation of Indigenous topics. In particular, IKO scholars argue for the limitations of traditional classification systems used in the library workplace, in particular: the Library of Congress (LCDS) or (LC) and the Dewey Decimal System (DDCS) schemes have been criticized for lacking terminology and categories specific to Indigenous Peoples and ignores using localized epistemological schemes. For example, LC has been criticized for failing to distinguish between First Nations, Inuit and Metis – instead categorizing them homogenously as ‘Aboriginal Peoples’. In the US, libraries have also classified Native Knowledge collectively under ‘American History’ due to the lack of diverse categories available in the existing system. Another key criticism by IKO is that asides from erasure, current ways that materials of Indigenous Peoples are organized often reproduce Western disciplinary assumptions that risk ‘othering’ Indigenous Communities in binary opposition to Western counterparts. These systems therefore risk “silencing” the heterogeneity of Indigenous Peoples, and risks producing theories about the most appropriate ways to educate the group, or practices that test for cultural appropriateness of curriculum and pedagogy for the group.
Different countries have promoted various alternative KO systems in response to these critiques offered by IKO scholarship. For example, the University of Hawaii spearheaded the KVJ Law Classification Project as one way to provide Indigenous Legal expertise in re-classifying law materials. The Brian Deer Classification System is also another alternative used at the University of British Columbia's X̱wi7x̱wa Library. The National Library of New Zealand uses the Maori Subject Headings system to better reflect Maori terminology and concepts relevant to the Maori community.
Indigenous Protocols
Numerous protocols and standards exist for Indigenous communities throughout the world. These protocols act as best practices for an organization when dealing with Indigenous Peoples and materials.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library and Information Resource Network (ATSILIRN) Protocols
These protocols were developed to improve the way information professionals seek to meet the information needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The ATSILIRN Protocols were published in 1995 by the Australian Library and Information Association, and were updated in 2005, 2010, and again in 2012. The ATSILIRN Protocols were used as a base for the Working with Indigenous Collections resource by National and State Libraries Australia.
Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession (OCAP®)
OCAP® was created in 1998 by the National Steering Committee (NSC) of the First Nations and Inuit Regional Longitudinal Health Survey. OCAP® was specifically created to express the needs of First Nations to have jurisdiction over their information.
OCAP® is a registered trademark of the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC) more information can be found here: https://fnigc.ca/ocap-training/
Protocols for Native American Archival Materials
The Protocols for Native American Archival Materials were created in April 2006 at the First Archivist Circle. The professionals gathered therein were inspired by The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library and Information Resource Network (ATSILIRN) Protocols. The protocols are primarily aimed towards non-tribal organizations which hold American Indian archival material, and is meant to adapted to the needs of local communities.
Ngā Upoko Tukutuku (MSH)
Ngā Upoko Tukutuku was created by the Māori Subject Headings Project, with funding from Library and Information Association New Zealand Aotearoa (LIANZA), Te Rōpū Whakahau, and the National Library of New Zealand. The standard, as described by the National Library of New Zealand, "provides a structured path to a Māori world view within library and archival cataloguing and description. It supports cataloguers and descriptive archivists to assign appropriate terms for the material, and helps users find those items within a framework they relate to".
Indigenous Intellectual and Cultural Property
Indigenous Intellectual and Cultural Property rights approach the concepts of Intellectual and Cultural property from a non-Western view point. The intent is to protect Indigenous works from being exploited or appropriated within other media. Often these works are considered more than entertainment and instead have deeper meanings to the communities for which they belong. The concept of Public Domain is also not considered to be a common concept in many Indigenous communities. The proclivity to share the works is not equivalent to allowing the works to be appropriated. Works that have taken and appropriated Indigenous works include examples like Deep Forest.
A major effort in protecting Indigenous Intellectual and Cultural Property is the development of the Indigenous Cultural Protocols. These protocols are intended to help Indigenous works be managed in a way that is culturally appropriate. Developed by The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies for Libraries, Archives and Information, the Protocols provide guides to libraries on ways to manage Indigenous works in their collections. These protocols also focus on providing Indigenous communities with more pathways to employment in information fields in an attempt to help reclaim sovereignty over some Intellectual and Cultural Property dispersion.
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was a further step in providing similar coverage and protections to Indigenous Intellectual and Cultural Property. UNDRIP isn't a legally binding ratification, but instead a framework that can be used to guide institutions toward giving more control to Indigenous people over their works. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada directly referenced the UNDRIP in its Calls to Action in an attempt to allow Indigenous works in archives to be more accessible to the communities in which they originated.
Digital Repatriation
Digital repatriation (or virtual repatriation) is the returning of digital copies of cultural heritage items, such as recordings, documents, and images, to the originating community. In an Indigenous context, this involves returning Indigenous cultural expressions to the relevant Indigenous community. As cultural memory institutions increasingly digitize their collections, Indigenous communities may be involved with determining descriptions for, and controlling access to, digital objects. Institutions may also repatriate collection and object rights to Indigenous communities. These materials may form a local knowledge base, requiring digital knowledge organization systems that can accommodate Indigenous cultural protocols. This has prompted software development specifically for this purpose.
In Canada
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) created the Indigenous Heritage Action Plan in 2019 to in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The action plan affirms the rights of Indigenous peoples as laid out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and contains 28 concrete actions that will be undertaken by LAC. These actions include: increasing Indigenous community engagement with LAC, seeking the council of an Elder-In-Residence, following Indigenous cultural protocols, increased partnerships with Indigenous communities regarding the loaning of documents, utilizing crowdsourcing software to allow for Indigenous people to contribute knowledge to digital collections, examining Indigenous-led access management of some LAC collections, such as those created from Indigenous knowledge, and collaborating with Indigenous communities to preserve non-governmental archival records according to the preferences of the community, whether at LAC or locally.
In 2010, the Reciprocal Research Network (RRN) was launched as a partnership between the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, the Musqueam Indian Band, the Stó:lō Nation/Tribal Council, and the U’mista Cultural Society. The RRN is an online tool that contains digital copies of Indigenous objects from the Northwest coast of British Columbia held at 29 institutions. The RRN allows for collaborative research between members, and allows members to create their own projects using objects from many different holding institutions. Each co-developer has a member in a steering group, to make decisions regarding the platform's scope, schedule, and budget.

NXT Stand & Deliver (originally known as NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver) is a professional wrestling event produced by WWE, a Connecticut-based professional wrestling promotion. Held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division, it takes place annually during WrestleMania week. The event is broadcast live and available only through pay-per-view (PPV) and the streaming services Peacock and the WWE Network.
Stand & Deliver was originally established in 2021 and held under the NXT TakeOver series. In September 2021, NXT was rebranded as NXT 2.0 and WWE discontinued the TakeOver series; however, Stand & Deliver continued on as its own event for NXT. While the original event was held across two nights, it was reduced to one day with the second event.
History
NXT TakeOver was a series of periodic professional wrestling events produced by WWE for the company's NXT brand. The 34th TakeOver event was held as NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver and was the only TakeOver to be held across two nights. The event was held on April 7 and 8, 2021, during WrestleMania 37 week. It aired on traditional pay-per-view (PPV) worldwide and the WWE Network in international markets, and was WWE's first live in-ring event to air on Peacock after the American version of the WWE Network had shutdown on April 4 that year, following its merger under Peacock. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held at the Capitol Wrestling Center within the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
In September 2021, the NXT brand went through a restructuring, being rebranded as "NXT 2.0", reverting to a developmental territory for WWE. The Capitol Wrestling Center name was also dropped with NXT's events just being promoted as held at the Performance Center. The TakeOver series was also subsequently discontinued.
On January 24, 2022, it was confirmed that Stand & Deliver would continue on as its own event for NXT with a second Stand & Deliver event announced to be held during WrestleMania 38 weekend, thus establishing Stand & Deliver as NXT's annual event held during WrestleMania week. This second Stand & Deliver was scheduled to be held as a one-day event at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on April 2, 2022, the same day as WrestleMania 38 Night 1. Due to this, Stand & Deliver will have a special start time of 12pm Eastern Time. This will be the first NXT event to be held outside of Florida since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

She completed her Bachelor of Science degree at the University of New Mexico before marrying her husband, Robert Mealey, and enrolling together at Colorado State University for their DVM. Following her DVM, Mealey completed two internships and a residency before completing her PhD at Texas A&M University in 1998.
Career
Following her PhD, Mealey accepted a faculty position at Washington State University (WSU). While leading a group of WSU researchers, she discovered that a gene mutation called MDR1 predisposed herding dogs—collies to react violently to a deworming pill. Based on this discovery, Mealey developed a clinical test for the mutation based on blood samples and cheek swabs from at least 25 unrelated dogs of every one of the 150-plus breeds. While conducting this trial, she also filed for her first US Patent for her diagnostic test. As a result of her research, Mealey was one of the recipients of the 2012 Pfizer Animal Health Award for Research Excellence.
Based on her clinical trials, Mealey established the first veterinary-based dedicated research effort towards individualized medicine in animals in 2013. Her work on identifying why certain dog breeds suffer deadly drug reactions led her to receive a 2013 Women to Watch in Life Science Award from the Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association. She was later recognized in 2016 with an election to the National Academy of Inventors for her invention of a genetic test that detects the MDR-1 mutation. Mealey also received the 2019 Lloyd E. Davis Award in recognition of her "outstanding achievements in research, teaching, and professional service in veterinary pharmacology."
In July 2020, Mealey was elected to the Washington State Academy of Sciences for her expertise in pharmacogenetics that has benefited veterinary medicine both locally and worldwide. She then earned funding to support technology to allow for her research team to predetermine whether a drug would cause issues for dogs and cats with the gene mutation. While conducting her research, Mealey also partook in the national Promotion and Tenure, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Coalition where she advocated for more value to be placed on innovation, entrepreneurship and other forms of scholarly impact.
In January 2022, Mealey was recognized with an election to the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her contributions to research and leadership in the areas of food labeling, food quality, and product reputation. Following this, Mealey and her research team in the Program in Individualized Medicine at WSU developed a test to detect the MDR1 mutation in cats.
Personal life
During her off-time, Mealey is an avid runner. She ran in the 2013 Boston Marathon, where she finished with a time of 3:49:41.

Slowjamastan, officially The United Territories of The Sovereign Nation of The People's Republic of Slowjamastan, is a micronation near Ocotillo Wells in Imperial County, California, created in 2021 by self-declared sultan Randy Williams. Williams purchased the 11-acre plot of land himself, paying $19,000 for the plot of land near California State Route 78.
While the official website claims the capital as Dublandia, the self-declared Sultan plans for 12 states within the territory and says citizens will participate in the naming process. Slowjamastan does have citizens, numbering 100+, and the application process is free. The self-styled micronation has even issued its own currency and passports, as well as declared laws and installed border checkpoints.
Slowjamastan had its first public event, known as "Meet the Sultan", on February 6, 2022. The event also included tours, a press event, and swearing in of new citizens.
Future plans for the new micronation include a bowling alley, hot dog stand, and attempting to rename the nearby Salton Sea to "Sultan Sea".

Innovations for Learning is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the literacy of children attending under-resourced schools. It has stated that its goal is to "realize a world in which all children, regardless of background, are confidently ready to learn, grow, and thrive throughout life". Founded by Seth Weinberger in 1993, the philanthropically supported initiative is known for its flagship one-to-one tutoring program, TutorMate.
Background
Seth Weinberger launched Innovations for Learning, based in the city of Evanston, in 1993 while a lawyer at the Mayer Brown law firm. He and his wife, Barbara Goodman, a librarian, found the Cherry Preschool with several other families the year before. Learning to program as he continued to build his law career, Weinberger began developing educational software. The first three software games were licensed to an educational publisher that helped Innovations for Learning grow in prominence. By 2009, he left his law practice to focus on continuing to grow Innovations for Learning.
TutorMate
Work on virtual volunteering with the TutorMate enrichment program began in 2005, starting in Chicago before expanding to New York City and Detroit by 2012. Supporting corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and equity and inclusion in education, prominent companies and organizations from around the globe have launched virtual workplace volunteering with TutorMate, including employees from pioneering partners General Motors, Chase Bank, Comerica Bank, Quicken Loans, and DTE Energy. Students and volunteers engage together online with virtual activities that build fluency, comprehension, phonics, and spelling skills.
Educational research concluded students achieved greater gains the more they participated with TutorMate's reading volunteers. According to a study in the United States, students who received at least twenty tutoring sessions with volunteers online gained more than three reading levels compared to those who received less than five sessions. Research from the National Literacy Trust in the United Kingdom found that participating students increased on average by 3.2 reading levels. Phonics scores also increased by an average of 9.3 points.
TeacherMate
Introduced in Chicago Public Schools in 2008, the TeacherMate handheld device provided educational software that covered basic math, reading, vocabulary, and spelling into 350 U.S. classrooms within the next year. A partnership with Stanford University led by Paul Kim from the Stanford Graduate School of Education launched international pilot programs with the device in countries including Mexico, Korea, and the Phillippines. By 2012, access to TeacherMate expanded when the software became available for students on iOS devices. In a pilot program in four Washington, D.C. schools, more than 49% of student passed benchmark scores after one year of the introduction of TeacherMate, an increase from 16%.
High Dosage Tutoring
Helping schools scale up high dosage tutoring for early reading in the United States and Canada, Innovations for Learning provides specially trained Early Literacy Interventionists (ELIs) who work one-to-one with students three to five times per week during the school day. They provided specially trained Early Literacy Interventionists who work with students to establish proficiency in phonics, fluency, and comprehension.
Innovations for Learning hires and trains qualified paraprofessionals who conference with students in the classroom. Guided by philanthropically supported technology, including devices and proprietary software, interventionists conference with each student for about five minutes. They assess each learner's needs and develop phonics-focused targeted instruction.
According to a study on the impact of high dosage tutoring with interventionists from Innovations for Learning, a greater percentage of early learners who received one-to-one tutoring:, outperformed those who were not tutored on an assessment measuring emergent reading proficiency, demonstrated a significantly higher rate of progression in their reading, and achieved grade level proficiency.
Global reach
Expanding operations to the United Kingdom with support from the British global asset management group Janus Henerson, the TutorMate program started serving students in cities including London, Leeds, Doncaster, and Brandford in 2018. International expansion also includes Canada when Innovations for Learning Canda launched that same year, starting in Ontario. Prior to the 2018 expansion of international operations, Innovations for Learning also served schools in countries including Mexico, Korea, the Philippines, Rwanda, Uganda, and Sri Lanka. A pilot study of the TeacherMate program tripled the literacy test results of teachers in Rwanda.
In 2021, Innovations for Learning received a $200,000 grant to teach literacy to indigenous children in Ontario and British Columbia.

The Saint-Chinian Formation is a geological formation composed of shales with limestone inclusions, dating from the Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian).
It is one of the six geological formations from the Saint-Chinian Cambro-Ordovician basin, comprising, from the most ancient to the most recent : La Dentelle Formation, Saint-Chinian Formation, La Maurerie Formation, Cluse de l'Orb Formation and Setso member, Foulon Formation and Landeyran Formation. This formation outcrops on the southern flanks of the Montagne Noire in Southern France..
The formation received its name from the small city of Saint-Chinian, a commune located in the Hérault department in Occitania.
It is dated from the biostratigraphic sub-zone characterized by Taihungshania miqueli and Asaphelina barroisi berardi.
Paleoenvironment
The thin nature of the silico-clastics deposits, the presence of slump, combined with a trilobite fauna dominated by members of the Asaphidae family indicates a marine environment of external distal platform.
Paleofauna
Shales of the Saint-Chinian Formation bears in certain areas accumulations of phosphated nodules, each potentially bearing a tilobite. Those are the so-called "schistes à gateaux"..

The French Consulate General in Tangier is a consular representation of the French Republic in Morocco.
History
The first French representative arrived in Tangier in 1794, and the French consulate was formally established there on . In 1816, it moved into the building later known as Dar al-Niaba on Rue Es-Siaghine, about midway between the Medina's gate of Bab el-Fahs and the Petit Socco square, with a portal dating back to era of Portuguese Tangier. Eugène Delacroix resided there in 1832 as he was traveling in Morocco together with ambassador Charles-Edgar de Mornay. France eventually purchased the building in 1845, and elevated the consulate to a legation in 1846.
In 1849, the consulate moved to the former legation of Denmark, more remote from the rue es-Siaghine. Around 1905, it rented a building next to the , designed by architect Paul Guadet for local businessman (and former interpreter for the French legation) .
Following the creation of the Tangier International Zone, the French government decided to build more imposing premises for its representation (again a consulate following the establishment in 1912 of the French protectorate in Morocco), next to a villa it had purchased years before that served as the consul's private residence. The new building, also known as the Maison de France ("House of France"), was designed by local architects Gaston Raulin and Maurice Duché, and built by the firm of Desforges & Rousseau. It was completed in late 1928 under consul Pierre de Witasse.

Lottie Pearl Mitchell (June 1883 – September 6, 1974) was an American probation officer, civil rights activist, and clubwoman. She was a national vice-president of the NAACP, and the third national president of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
Early life and education
Mitchell was born in Wilberforce, Ohio, the daughter of Samuel T. Mitchell and Amanda M. Mitchell. Her father was the president of Wilberforce University. She earned a bachelor's degree at Wilberforce, and studied music at Oberlin Conservatory, with further studies in sociology at Kalamazoo College.
Career
Mitchell taught music as a young woman, and worked in military camps during World War I. She was the third national president (Supreme Basileus) of Alpha Kappa Alpha, serving from 1923 to 1925. She was an investigator and probation officer in Cleveland's juvenile court from 1926 until the 1940s. She was chair of the Pan-Hellenic Council of Cleveland from 1935 to 1936. From 1936 to 1937 she was president of the Cleveland chapter of the NAACP, and chaired a "Tolerance Day Program" at a Cleveland public pool in 1939, after incidents of racial antagonism at the site. In Ohio she was also a trustee of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home, and active on the Mental Hygiene Council of Cleveland.
Mitchell held many national-level positions in the NAACP. She joined the national organization's executive board in 1936, was a national vice-president, and led national fundraising campaigns. She was described in a 1966 issue of The Crisis as "a dynamo of inspiration and leadership". It was reported after her death that she raised more than $40,000 for the work of the NAACP in her lifetime.
In her work with the NAACP, Mitchell endorsed the National Negro Congress, and raised funds for the Joint Scottsboro Defense Committee. In the 1960s, both connections brought her under the scrutiny of the Senate's Committee on the Judiciary, as suggesting possible Communist sympathies or other subversive ties.
Personal life
Mitchell married Delbert Curtis in Columbus, Ohio, and enjoyed acting in community theatre productions. She moved to Los Angeles in 1962, and died in 1974, aged 91 years. The Western Reserve Historical Society has a collection of Mitchell's papers.

Mississippi Highway 513 (MS 513) is a state highway running between Quitman and Rose Hill. Established in 1950, it is signed as a north–south highway, though it generally runs from east to west.
Route description
The state highway begins at an intersection with MS 145 in the northern reaches of Quitman, Clarke County. MS 513 heads northwest, briefly passing through a residential neighborhood, before heading through a mostly wooded rural area. The highway provides access to Clarke County Airport northwest of Quitman. It briefly curves to the west, then to the north as MS 513 enters the town of Stonewall. MS 513, known as Erwin Road, passes a factory, then travels through the center of the town. Heading out of the town towards the north, MS 513 soon enters the town of Enterprise passing a middle school and turning to the west. It intersects MS 514 at its western terminus while MS 513 continues west into the center of the town, crossing two railroads. After the second railroad crossing, MS 513 curves to the south, intersects the unsigned MS 952, and makes another 90-degree turn to the west at Main Street to reach U.S. Route 11 (US 11).
US 11 and MS 513 form a concurrency and head south for about . The concurrency ends when MS 513 turns off US 11 to head west again. After exiting the town limits of Enterprise, the highway heads through a rural wooded area. MS 513 has an interchange with Interstate 59 at its exit 134. The road makes some winding curves until it reaches the Jasper County line. After crossing into Jasper County, MS 513 begins to travel more southwesterly. The highway ends at an intersection with MS 18 in the unincorporated community of Rose Hill.
History
A state road connecting Quitman and Enterprise was first established in 1942 along a gravel road. This road was numbered MS 513 in 1950 and was fully paved. Six years later in 1956, the route was extended west to Rose Hill first as a gravel road. This western portion of the highway was improved with construction being completed in July 1960. The highway has generally maintained its alignment since then.

The Géologique du Luberon National Nature Reserve (RNN90) is a national nature reserve located in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Established in 1987, it occupies 397.84 hectares and protects 28 scattered geological sites dated from the Cenozoic.
Localisation
The domain of the nature reserve spreads over the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Vaucluse department. It covers roughly 300 ha over 20 communes :
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence : Aubenas-les-Alpes, Céreste, Montfuron, Montjustin, Oppedette, Reillanne, Revest-des-Brousses, Saint-Maime, Vachères et Villeneuve.
Vaucluse : Bonnieux, Cabrières-d'Aigues, Caseneuve, Cheval-Blanc, Cucuron, Murs, Saignon, Saint-Martin-de-Castillon, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, Viens.
A protected zone of 70 000 hectares was placed around those sites by order of the prefect.
The natural reserve was established in order to protect 28 geological sites from the Cenozoic era, divided in 4 categories : sites with fossils of vertebrates, insects and plants from the Oligocene, slabs bearing the tracks of mammals from the Oligocene, sites with vertebrates from the Eocene and Miocene, sites with invertebrates from the Miocene and Pliocene.
Sites
Aubenas-les-Alpes
The village was built over an hill of red marl dating from the Oligocene, who provided bones of large mammals and reptiles (crocodiles and turtles]]. In the vallon de l'Aiguebelle (an ever-flowing stream, even during the dryest droughts), fossils of plants and fishes (Dapalis macrurus) have been uncovered. Both those deposits are classified geological reserves (inside the Géologique du Luberon National Nature Reserve), and any collection is forbidden. Information panels are placed near the sites. A selection of the unearthed fossils can be seen in the Musée de Vachères, at the Maison du Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon, at Apt in Vaucluse, and at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Céreste
50 millions of years ago, at the beginning of the Eocene, the Apt and Céreste basins were covered by a vast inner lake. A tropical climate had created a rich fauna and flora, fossilized in thin plates of schistous limestone up to the Oligocene. Those various fossils correspond to a riverine flora and fishes, molluscs and insects.
Easy access to the fossil sites allowed their pillage almost organized. Action from the Luberon Regional Natural Park permitted to diminish it by 95%. The commune is today inside the perimeter of the Géologique du Luberon National Nature Reserve, due to the proximity with exceptional fossil sites.
Reillanne
During the 1950s, numerous fossil tracks were identified in the Pas d'Ânes locality. Traditionally considered belonging to donkeys, it was discovered that they were made by Anchitherium, an extinct genus of Equidae who lived roughly 20 millions of years ago.
Murs
The commune of Murs comprise a locality known as "Le Puy", part of the Géologique du Luberon National Nature Reserve. This zone is protected and digging and collecting are strictly forbidden by law. It bear marl limestones of continental facies from the Cenozoic era (Rupelian). It has provided fossils of fishes, and of the leaves and cuticles of plants.
Saignon
In the Négri quarry, the surface of a limestone layer uncovered during the exploitation gave a slab preserving tracks in 1981. It is located in the locality Le Carlet, in the south-east of the train station of Saignon. Thousands of tracks can be seen across the surface of what was a marshy soil dating back from the Oligocene. Traces of Palaeotherium magnum, Anchilophus radegondensis, Anoplotherium commune and latipes, Xiphodon gracile, Pterodon sp. and ''Hyanodon sp. were identified, as well as unique forms and tracks of large birds.
Viens
"Dalle de Viens" (fossilized tracksites of Oligocene mammals.
Administration, management plan, regulations
The nature reserve is administered by the Luberon regional natural park.
Tools and legal status
The nature reserve was established under a decree of the 16 September 1987.

The Women of the Book Collection is the largest gathering of rare books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and ephemera dedicated entirely to the lives and cultural experiences of early modern women, circa 1450–1800. It is held at the Special Collections Department of Johns Hopkins University’s The Sheridan Libraries. What distinguishes the collection is its singular focus on Roman Catholic women religious, in particular nuns, female mystics and miracle workers, and lay holy women.
Scope
The vast majority of the collection, perhaps as much as 90 percent of some 725 individual items in total, date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and are almost entirely printed in vernacular languages. The collection reflects the linguistic and geographic diversity of early modern female monasticism; approximately half of its materials are Italian and French, while the rest include significant Spanish holdings (as well as a number of items produced in the Spanish Empire), several Flemish works, and smaller numbers of largely German, Swiss, and Portuguese books.
The titles are also generally quite rare: nearly one-third of the items are completely unrepresented in North American libraries; one-quarter survive in just a handful of recorded copies; and one-fifth are entirely unrecorded elsewhere and presumably unique. Approximately one-quarter of the books in the collection bear unique manuscript annotations reflecting past provenance and adaptive or interpretive marginalia.
Production context
Cloistered convents, and female religious houses more generally, provided early modern women with access to a contemplative life of the mind—including educational opportunities, conventual libraries, and the resources needed to compose original works of theological, devotional, mystical, and liturgical significance—thanks to their protected status within the Roman Catholic Church.
Though driven in large part by the proliferation of reformed medieval and newly founded early modern female monastic orders—the Ursulines, Discalced Carmelites, Visitandines, Conceptionists, and so on—a great deal of this print culture is rooted in a rapid proliferation of interest in the sanctification (i.e., beatification and canonization) and saintly veneration of famously devout Catholic women religious. Perhaps the single best-represented woman in the collection was also the premier model of early modern piety, sanctity, and intellectual achievement, and one of the first beneficiaries of major reforms in the Congregation of Rites that governed the processes and increased speed of sanctification: Saint Teresa of Avila (died 1582, beatified 1614, canonized 1622). Other "celebrity" nuns well represented in the collection that follow the Teresian model include Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi, Maria de Ágreda, Rose of Lima, Jeanne-Françoise Frémiot de Chantal, and Marguerite Marie Alacoque, among many others.
Subjects and genres
The most common genres within this literature are biographical and hagiographical accounts of the exemplary lives of these religious women. However, the subjects range dramatically and encompass many varieties of devotional, ecclesiastical, liturgical, mystical, and missionary subjects, including prayer books (many with unique musical notations); the rules and constitutions of particular orders and lay female confraternities; texts relating to everyday life and the domestic economy of convents; libros de professiones (matriculation record books for individual convents); illustrated plate books representing the lives and deeds of saintly nuns; personal devotions to the Virgin Mary and venerations of female saints; works related to female labor in hospitals and in medicine more generally; lawsuits and legal testimony of miracles (particularly female bilocation), demonic possession, exorcism, and autos-de-fé; foundation accounts of female monastic houses in the New World; education and teaching; costume books; convent plays and procession accounts; and works printed by orders of reformed sex workers.
Due to the Catholic tradition of treating books and material objects as holy and invested with spiritual power in early modern Europe, there is also a wide range of custom-made items in the collection, including apotropaic book amulets, embroidered and painted bindings, contact relics, and various klosterarbeiten (objets d'art made by nuns for sale to pilgrims), including elaborately framed devotional portraits and various para-liturgical devices. The Women of the Book Collection also holds dozens of printed single-sheet ephemera, almost all of which are unrecorded in any other copies. These include original engraved copperplates, indulgence sheets, investiture poems, ex voto and holy cards, confraternity charters, and bespoke illustrated and illuminated documents of profession.
Valorization and digitization
The Sheridan Libraries started acquiring items for the collection from 2017 onward. An international conference sponsored by the Virginia Fox Stern Center was convened in the fall of 2019, which formed the basis of a forthcoming, heavily illustrated book on the collection to be jointly published in 2023 by the Pennsylvania State University Press and the Stern Center. A major exhibition of the collection will appear in Johns Hopkins's historic George Peabody Library (September 2022–January 2023). A research fellowship program focusing on the collection has also been created, and jointly sponsored by the Stern Center and the Renaissance Society of America. Approximately 90 percent of the Women of the Book Collection has been digitized supported by a grant from the Arcadia Fund and is freely accessible through the Internet Archive.

The Sapi-Portuguese Ivory Spoon was created by an unknown Sapi artist in the 16th century. The carving that makes up part of the handle of the spoon was based on European iconography but the design reflects the stylistic traditions of the Sapi people of West Africa.
Background
This ivory spoon carving is believed to have been created by a Sapi artist. Sapi was a name used by Portuguese traders to describe the people that lived along the coast of Sierra Leone, a country on the southwestern coast of Africa bordered by Guinea and Liberia. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the time frame in which this piece was created, the Portuguese dominated global trade, with ports all over the world, including India, Brazil, and Sierra Leone. Throughout their colonial reign, Portuguese colonizers enslaved 175,000 African people and sent them to Europe and the Americas. The Portuguese sought out gold, ivory, and pepper from Africa as those were their main exports. Ivory was a particularly valuable resource because the strong material was used to make durable everyday items like utensils. Ivory was often associated with power, this could be because it came from elephants, one of the largest mammals on the planet and because of this it wasn’t an abundant resource.
Visual analysis
The Sapi ivory spoon is not all that dissimilar to modern spoons. The spoon is carved out of a single section of ivory. The eating end of the spoon takes the shape of an oblong, shallow bowl shape with a small neck that connects the bowl of the spoon to its handle. The middle of the handle is composed of a small, simple carving of a Sapi person. The figure is carved and with distinct facial features but a simplified body with no arms. Approximately halfway down the handle the body ends at the feet and the handle continues down with a very simple symmetrical design. Similar symmetrical design, facial features, clothing styles are often seen in other works from this time. Examples of these simulates would seen in be other ivory spoons or lidded saltcellarsfrom the same time period and location.

Byrd Dickens (born August 11, 1971, as Jason Edward Wayne Dickens) is a Canadian actor, cameraman and convicted criminal, known in Canada for playing character Kathleen Mead's abusive boyfriend Scott Smith in the TV series Degrassi High from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Dickens also did minor acting roles and camera and electrical work for various films and television productions. In 2016, Dickens was arrested and charged after committing acts of filming child pornography, possessing child pornography, child molestation, and acts of bestiality with his then-partner, Dylan Anne "Doll" McEwen, and two other women. Dickens was convicted and sent to prison in 2018. Sometimes referred to as "Canada's Gary Glitter", Dickens has not been featured in any film or television production since 2017, although he retains a dormant filmography on The Internet Movie Database.
Career
Byrd Dickens did mostly electrical work, camera work and rigging on various film and television sets, using various names and company titles, as well as unregistered company names appearing to have been filled in by Dickens himself on his profile for The Internet Movie Database. These unregistered names included "Byrd Dawg" and "Angry Byrd Rigging".
Dickens is best known for his acting and electrical work on the Canadian school drama TV series Degrassi High, where he received international recognition when the series was aired in The United States and uploaded to YouTube by PBS. Dickens played Scott Smith, a jock attending Degrassi High School in Toronto and dating character Kathleen Mead (played by fellow Canadian actress Rebecca Haines). Scott began abusing Kathleen in the Season 4 episode "Nobody's Perfect", where he mocked her and choked her with a heart-shaped necklace he had bought for her; the character then broke Kathleen's arm in a violent altercation in the episode "All In A Good Cause", after which Kathleen pressed charges. Dickens continued to appear as Scott in background scenes throughout various episodes of the series, and also appeared in the School's Out! Degrassi movie that proceeded the TV series.
Filmography
Dickens is also credited with various camera and electrical work on a number of films and television shows, including Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Beauty & the Beast and xXx: Return of Xander Cage.
Criminal activity
Byrd Dickens was discovered in 2016 to have engaged in sadistic sexual fetishes and activities of BDSM with his partner, self-proclaimed masochist Dylan Anne "Doll" McEwen, whom he'd met in 2004 and married in 2008 after an informal "collaring" ceremony in 2007 (in which McEwen wore a dog collar and leash, and declared lifelong submission to Dickens). Frequenting the internet under various usernames, both Dickens and McEwen routinely visited fetish websites, which escalated from mere curiosity into criminal activity when they began engaging in acts of child molestation, rape and bestiality. Dickens had acquired over 1,000 pornographic photographs and video recordings involving minor children and animals. Acts involved Dickens filming McEwen sexually abusing an infant while masturbating with a baby bottle, as well as both parties getting high on drugs while McEwen forced a dog to lick her vagina; Dickens recorded the event.
Dickens had also been offered a minor child from London, Ontario back in 2003 after the then fourteen-year-old girl, identified to the media only as "DB", had nude photographs taken of her and mailed to Dickens by the girl's mother. Dickens took DB to dinner and a movie (title unknown), then engaged in sexual acts with her in a bedroom while DB's mother watched. DB was a key witness in a 2020 case that unfolded after Dickens's initial conviction in 2018.
During the first initial press release from the Toronto Police Service in August 2016, Child Exploitation Section Inspector Pauline Gray and Detective Mike Sabadin confirmed that Dickens was being held in prison without bail. Sabadin, who gave the majority of the briefing, was asked by a reporter whether there were dozens or hundreds of pornographic images discovered in Dickens's possession, to which Sabadin replied, "thousands", adding that numerous digital devices including laptop computers, hard drives and cell phones had been seized in the investigation. It was revealed that numerous unidentified minor children had been rescued from the Dickens-McEwen household, most of whom had been sexually abused or raped. Confirming that Dickens was indeed the former Degrassi actor, Sabadin revealed that Dickens used multiple aliases to explore fetish websites and search for "like-minded individuals" who would share child pornography with him, although Sabadin added that most of the fetish and bondage websites visited by Dickens were not themselves illegal, nor did the websites condone Dickens's pedophilia or bestiality activities.
Conviction
Dickens was discovered to have an extensive stash of illegal pornography, including images and videos of himself and Dylan "Doll" McEwen engaging in acts of child abuse, animal abuse and rape. A number of unnamed minor children were rescued from the Dickens-McEwen household, and an eight-month investigation unfolded in which Dickens's house and workplace were searched, as well as his internet activity. Two other women, twenty-five-year-old Tina Ewen and an unnamed fifty-seven-year-old, were also charged in the offences. It was revealed that numerous unspecified animals had been used in acts of bestiality, and that Dickens had recorded at least two videos of engaging in child molestation himself, while distributing them on the internet and visiting websites under the screen names "Retrodeviant", "Byrd-Dawg" and "Sir Dirk". McEwen, who had used the screen name "Doll_Dirty_Doll" (in relation to her real-life nickname), participated in the use of internet websites with Dickens. During the investigation, Dickens continued to work on various gaffer rigging jobs for film and television productions, including Taxi 22 and xXx: Return of Xander Cage; the cast and crew of both productions were unaware of Dickens's criminal behaviour, as was Rebecca Haines of Degrassi High, who had not seen or heard from Dickens since Degrassi High had ended in the early 1990s.
Dickens pleaded guilty in 2018 to charges including possession and recording of child pornography, while Dylan "Doll" McEwen pled guilty to making and possessing child pornography, sexual assault and counselling for a sexual purpose a person under 16 years to touch her with an object. McEwen was jailed for six years, while Dickens, sentenced to 7.5 years, was released on bail in 2020. Ontario Court Judge Steven Clark denied The Crown's request to designate Dickens as a dangerous offender, arguing that he is not a threat for reoffending and that he had fully cooperated with counselling services and the courts. Dickens was released unsupervised, but was implicated in another criminal charge in 2020 relating to his 2003 offences.

Port Adelaide Football Club is a professional Australian rules football club based in Alberton, South Australia. The club plays in the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition. The team is associated with the Port Adelaide men's team.
In May 2021, the club was granted a license by the AFL to compete in the league from the start of the 2022/23 season. The team will play its home games out of Alberton Oval, in Alberton, South Australia.
History
Early women's Football
The earliest recorded instance of the Port Adelaide Football Club fielding a Women's side was in 1918 for a match played on Alberton Oval to raise funds for the Port Adelaide Workers Memorial against a team representing Thebarton. Port Adelaide was captained by Eileen Rend. In 1951 Port Adelaide awarded Ruby Dewar with life membership at the club, the first SANFL club to bestow the honour upon a woman, with club secretary Bob McLean praising her contribution saying that she had over 29 years "organised probably more than 100 functions for us — balls, dinners, competitions — as convener of the women's social committee." Port Adelaide has given 17 women life membership at the club. On 8 March 2004 Jenny Williams organised a Women's Showdown as a curtain raiser to Port Adelaide's home game at Football Park. The Port Adelaide Women's side won the match 16.5 (101) to Adelaide's 1.1 (7) with Erin Phillips considered a unanimous best on ground.
2015–present: AFLW Bids and Formation
On 16 December 2015 Erin Phillips entered into an agreement with Port Adelaide to be their marquee AFL Women's (AFLW) signing on the contingency the club received a licence for that competition. However, due to the logistical demands placed on Port Adelaide's administration and staff associated with the club's China program, which sought to ensure the club had sustainable revenue streams, the club was deemed not capable to bid for an AFLW licence for the 2017 AFL Women's season. Subsequently, the Adelaide Crows signed Phillips as a rookie. After this Port Adelaide turned its attention towards entering a Women's side in the SANFL Women's League (SANFLW) competition but this approach was rejected by the South Australian Football Commission. In May 2021, the AFL Commission announced that the remaining four clubs without AFLW teams would be admitted to the competition by the end of 2023, with the clubs to bid for entry order. Port Adelaide's bid to enter the competition was successful, with the AFL Commission deciding all four clubs would debut in the AFLW in the 2022/23 season. On 26 October 2021 Port Adelaide appointed Juliet Haslam as the clubs head of Women's football. On 3 February 2022 Port Adelaide announced Naomi Maidment as the clubs inaugural AFLW list manager. On 17 February 2022 Rachael Sporn was appointed to an Operations Manager role to organise the logistics of running an AFLW program at Port Adelaide.

Bossa Nova (subtitled: Bossa Nova and the Rise of Brazilian Music in the 1960s) is a 2011 compilation album released by Soul Jazz Records. It was released to positive reviews from The Guardian, The Independent and The Observer.
Reception
Robin Denselow praised the album, stating that the album "bravely attempts to provide an overview, while leaving out some of the obvious classics." noting the lack of artists like Desafinado or Aguas de Março, let alone "Girl from Ipanema" while artists like Carlos Lyra "doesn't even get a mention." Denselow followed this up stating "No matter, for there's other great music".
Nick Coleman of The Independent praised the album as "an exemplary account of how Brazilian music found its keenest popular focus in the 1960s" Neil Spencer of The Observer'' praised the album as a "dazzling 2CD set" noting it's hybrid of artists like Elis Regina and Jorge Ben with "edgier creations", noting Baden Powell's song "Canto De Ossanha".

Robert Lyon (January 15, 1810 – March 10, 1858) was an English-born Jewish-American journalist and newspaper editor.
Life
Lyon was born on January 15, 1810 in London, England, the son of tradesman Wolfe Lyon.
Lyon initially worked as a merchant in London and joined the Maiden Lane Synagogue. In 1840, upon the marriage of Queen Victoria, he accompanied Baron de Goldsmid to personally present a congratulatory address to her.
Lyon immigrated to America in 1844, settling in New York City, New York and establishing an unsuccessful umbrella manufactory. He had essays published before he turned eighteen, when his essays were published in Jersey, where he was living at the time. During his early years in America, he contributed the occasional article essay to various periodicals. He then began to take an interest in the local Jewish community, which lacked its own newspaper. This led him to begin publishing The Asmonean, the first Jewish-American weekly paper, on October 26, 1849. He ran the paper until his death. Jewish writers like Isaac Mayer Wise were regular contributors to the paper, although it never achieved more than local fame. He also edited the New York Mercantile Journal, which was focused on trade.
Lyon died at home on March 10, 1858. He was struck with paralysis while working in his office and was brought home three hours before his death. He had six children, the eldest being the fifteen-year-old William.
Neither of Lyon's papers lasted long after his death, although he laid the groundwork for future Jewish-American papers that appeared by 1880 like The American Israelite, The Jewish Messenger, The Hebrew Leader, The Jewish Record, and The American Hebrew.

The sixth generation Chevrolet small-block engine is the sixth iteration of Chevrolet's small-block engines, and with this architecture comes a completely revamped designed, departing from the traditional pushrod valves and crossplane crank of the previous three generations of Chevrolet small-block engines.
4.104 in. bore blocks (2023-)
5.5L
LT6
The LT6 is a DOHC flat-plane V8 engine designed by General Motors. It debuted in the eighth-generation Corvette Z06, and was unveiled on October 26, 2021. It is a clean sheet design, mechanically unrelated to both the LS based engines and the Blackwing V8. Nevertheless, a feature the LT6 shares with other Chevrolet small blocks is the bore spacing of 4.4 inches. Chevrolet claims that this engine "is the closest collaboration between any street and racing program yet." It produces at 8,400 rpm and of torque at 6,300 rpm and has a redline of 8,600 rpm, surpassing the 6.2 L Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series' M159 engine, which makes at 7,400 rpm, to become the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 engine. A modified version of this engine has powered the C8.R since 2019, and many features in the racing engine carry over to the road engine. Other features in this engine include a cast aluminum block, dual coil valve springs supporting titanium intake & sodium filled exhaust valves, forged aluminum pistons, forged titanium connecting rods, active split intake manifold with twin 87mm throttle bodies, four-into-two-into-one stainless steel exhaust headers, and a factory six-stage 10-quart dry sump oiling system with individual crank bay scavenging.

The Géologique de Normandie-Maine Regional Nature Reserve (RNR216) is a geological regional nature reserve located in the Normandie region. Established in 2009, it spreads over 0.37 hectares and protects an extraction site of Ordovician limestone, renowned for its microfossils of conodonts. By its size, it is the third smallest regionale nature reserve in France.
Location
The territory of the nature reserve is located in the Orne department, in the domain of the commune Saint-Hilaire-la-Gérard, inside the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park. It comprise the site of the Carrière des Vaux, a small abandoned Ordovician limestone quarry. The site has an altitude of 245 m.
History of the site and reserve
The site is known since the end of the XIXth century, thanks to the works of Alexandre Bigot, and is known for its heritage value since the 1990s. Extraction ceased at the turn of the XXth century. A regional inventory of the geological patrimony in 2007 allowed to launch the idea of the creation of a nature reserve. Finally, the death of its landlady in 2008 allowed the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park to buy the site.
Ecology (biodiversity, ecological interest, etc.)
The interest of the site is mostly geological. It consists of the presence of microfossils of conodonts, which enabled its biostratigraphic datation and conferred to the site its national interest. It is scheduled that other sites rejoin the regional nature reserve in the future.
Geology
The site belongs to the eastern part of the Armorican Massif and is located in the northern flank of the syncline of Sées. The inclination of the layers present an average dip of 40 degrees towards the south. In the limestone levels of the quarry, joints facilitating the cutting of blocks can be observed.
Flaura
The vascular flora, studied in 2009, count a hundred of species typicals of the underwood. One of them is considered rare, the Plymouth pear. Other plants includes the wayfarer, the false-brome, the grey sedge, the woodland hawthorn, the lizard orchid...
Fauna
5 species of mammals, 20 species of birds and 34 species of insects are known on the site.
Touristic and educational interest
Parts of the site are opened to the public, who can observe the limestone blocks still bearing conodont microfossils.
Administration, management plan, regulations
The nature reserve is managed by the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park. Its management plan covers the period 2012–2019.
Tools and legal status
The nature reserve was established after deliberation the 18 December 2009.
The site is located near the Natura 2000 "Haute vallée de l'Orne et affluents".

REI does not currently have any recognized trade unions, and has been accused several times over the years of being anti-union. In 2016, REI workers went public with organization efforts that had been growing over concerns about wages and working conditions in the Pacific Northwest, and the outdoor recreation store has since faced increasing public criticism from its employees nation-wide over issues with living wages and other workplace issues, like its hourly worker policies and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers have organized at least 5 petitions since 2016.
In 2022, the SoHo store in Lower Manhattan in New York City was the first store in the retailer's history to file a petition for a union vote with the National Labor Relations Board.
REI Employees for Real Change
2016
In 2016 a group of REI employees, and former employee Alpine Anderson, in Seattle, Washington, where REI is headquartered, calling themselves "REI Employees for Real Change" created a Facebook page, an Instagram account, and started a petition with Coworker.org, a nonprofit labor group that assists workers in organizing. The workers claimed that following a rise in the city's minimum wage, the raises they got were not commensurate with the hike, and many had their hours cut and scheduling was "erratic". In May 2016, at the consumer co-op’s annual members’ meeting, a worker asked then-chief executive officer (CEO) Jerry Stritzke why retail workers hadn't gotten a raise for the prior year in spite of record revenues, saying, "Can we get the signal that we matter too?" Strizke said that the co-op could not afford to pay all its workers the $15 minimum wage they were asking for, but that he considered them REI's "most important asset".
A few months later, in July, the workers organized a union forum at Seattle's city hall with the assistance of the United Food and Commercial Workers and Kshama Sawant, a Seattle City Councilmember and member of Democratic Socialists of America, to advocate for better working conditions and pay, which the group said hadn't kept up with the success of the business. At the forum, Anderson alleged she had been terminated on December 12, 2015, from a Portland, Oregon store after she led 55 of her colleagues in organizing around increases in hourly wages and better scheduling. One employee, Ash Crew, asked at the forum, "Why does the company that we all love so much, that makes billions of dollars in revenues, not give us enough hours so that we can afford food and rent with our wages, let alone health care and other benefits?" Workers alleged that rising living costs in the city had driven workers into food insecurity and homelessness. The employees further alleged the company of union busting, after sending a company-wide memo discouraging them from unionizing. The memo said, "We just don’t need [a union] at REI."
The workers also sent a letter to management, asking for cost-of-living increases, in addition to the forthcoming minimum-wage increases in the city, access to full time hours, and if enough signatures were collected to file a union petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), unopposed acknowledgement of the union. The company raised wages in seven cities the following month, including in Seattle, and promised it would implement new scheduling mechanisms to improve the consistency of hours the following October, which reportedly did not materialize.
2018
In November 2018, after neighboring Whole Foods Market, and its parent company Amazon, raised the company-wide minimum wage to $15 per hour, Anderson led the group, then made up of around 200 workers, to call for consumers to boycott the company for the same bump in wages, and for better working conditions, partnering again with Coworker.org. REI responded saying that Anderson was "not an REI employee", and that no employees were behind the petition. The petition stated "Collectively, we have faced: homelessness, medical debt, having to rely on food stamps to feed ourselves, even selling our plasma so we can pay the rent, and living off of credit cards." Anderson said that the main complaint of the Seattle workers was issues with scheduling, and not getting enough hours.
REI has said that they "have made a substantial investment in retail pay, and we’re proud to say we target retail hourly pay above the majority of retailers", and that they "want to do more for [REI workers] where [they] can".
2020
In spring 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the group, led by former worker Caleb Lawson, started another petition with Coworker.org accusing REI of prioritizing sales over the safety of its workers. The petition demanded hazard pay and improved safety protocols. Workers in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Texas, and Tucson, Arizona alleged that they had not been informed about exposure to COVID-19 and that management had instructed them not to share their positive test results with their teammates or on social media. The Grand Rapids store had been closed for one day, July 3, 2020, to investigate "potential" exposure, but reopened the following day, after leadership had determined no one had been exposed. On July 6, 2020, a worker alerted their colleagues in a group chat, allegedly against the wishes of leadership, that they tested positive for the virus on July 2, 2020, and that management had told them not to tell anyone. Devin Hilla, a worker who quit because of the incident, alleged that the human resources department told him his contact with the sick worker did not count as exposure. Lawson alleged that he was pressured to resign after raising concerns and starting the petition.
REI responded by saying "Some employees wanted transparency above what C.D.C. guidelines and our policies directed," and changed their policy to notify everyone at a store of positive test cases and the last date that employee worked. CEO Eric Artz closed all of its stores in March 2020, and they were all re-opened in seven waves by July 6, 2020.
Workers also criticized the company for furloughing its retail staff, unpaid, during April until July of 2020, and then laying off 400 of the workers while opening six new stores.
In fall 2020, the group called out REI's marketing around the 2015 "#OptOutside" campaign a "marketing move" that only benefited corporate workers. Workers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Saratoga, California, and Portland alleged that the company's marketing of its image covers up "what REI is" and the working conditions. The publicity focused on the workers receiving one full day of paid time off on Black Friday to "do what they love most – be outside", and the ethical responsibility of discouraging shopping, but workers reported that a minimum to receive paid days off at the company is 24 hours, which workers have struggled since 2015 to be scheduled for. Most of the retail workers alleged that closing on Black Friday resulted in a reduction of hours that disqualified them from receiving Thanksgiving holiday pay. Employees alleged that working at REI in retail "you cannot make a living". The company also still encouraged online shopping for the Thanksgiving shopping holiday, with specific deals for Cyber Monday.
The company says it puts more than 70% of profits into employee profit sharing programs and its member dividend program and that it puts "purpose before profits".
2021
In May 2021, REI dropped its in-store mask requirements, and employees staged a "sick out" and asked for consumers to boycott the store on May 22, 2021. Workers at stores in Bellingham, Washington, Des Moines, Iowa, Columbus, Ohio, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Portland expressed to The New York Times their shock at the company's sudden change to its policies, saying they felt endangered. Several workers in Portland walked off the job when the announcement was made. REI later reversed the policy.
REI union
In January 21, 2022, 115 workers at REI's SoHo store filed the retailer's first-ever NLRB petition for a union vote with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. Kate Denend, one of the store's organizers, alleged that the company keeps workers classified as part-time for a year, depriving them of benefits, despite working 32 or more hours per work, and often keeps workers under-scheduled following the holiday season. She alleged it was a "facade of being a progressive, liberal company", and that none of the workers are "making a living wage". Graham Gale, another union organizer, alleged that workers had faced "unsafe working conditions during a global pandemic" and that many of the workers laid off during the pandemic had been at the company for many years and were among the most outspoken about workplace issues.
The workers asked for voluntary recognition by the company, but REI declined. REI was accused of union busting, Artz telling workers that a union was not "needed or beneficial", and managers giving anti-union speeches in required morning meetings, putting up anti-union flyers, and freezing promotions. As of February 2022, REI's new website, which has been referred to as "anti-union", stated that "unions exist to collect dues, assess fines, and tell you to go on strike." REI told Mother Jones "the presence of union representation will impact our ability to communicate directly with those employees and resolve concerns as they arise" and was criticized for misleading rhetoric around its status as a co-op, as it is a consumers' cooperative, not an worker cooperative. The organizers tweeted about the company's response pointing to one of the company's slogans, "We go further together", writing "To us, that means employees need a seat at the table to collaboratively develop our agreements with you."
The company also released a podcast episode between Artz and Wilma Wallace, the company's chief diversity and social impact officer, in which some alleged the company weaponized "social justice language" against its workers and the public in an attempt to make unionizing sound at-odds with ideals like social equity. Artz and Wallace, neither of which are Indigenous peoples of the Americas, were both criticized for opening the podcast mentioning which Native lands they were on at the time of recording.
Reportedly, in January 2022, if you contacted the company's board about unionizing, they responded with softened anti-union rhetoric to their prior statements, indicating to some that the company recognized that union busting is a "terrible mistake". The company has said it is "committed to resolving the concerns of its employees", that they "respect the rights of [REI] employees", and that they "believe that unions play an important role in the rights of workers, and in workplaces or companies where employees do not have a voice".

Dhan Nach () or Yalang (Limbu: ; ) is a traditional Limbu folk dance. The dance originated in the Limbuwan region of Nepal. It is performed by people from Limbu communities residing in Eastern Nepal, northern region of West Bengal and Sikkim. The song sung during the dance is known as Palam.
Etymology
Dhan Nach in Nepali translates to paddy dance (Dhan is paddy, nach is dance). It is known by multiple names in Limbu communities according to their languages. In Chhathare Limbu language, it is known as Chalakma. In Panthare Limbu language, it is known as Yalakma. The dance is also popularly known as Yalang. In every language, the meaning of the dance translates to paddy dance.
History
According to local legend, there was a drought in a village and people were dying of starvation. Then Makcharepu (Limbu: ; ), a bird brought some seeds of Khaiya type of paddy and gave it to the villager to cultivate it. The villager did so and received a fruitful harvest. But the birds started eating most of the harvest. The villagers tried to shoo the bird away but the birds demanded the harvest since they were the ones who brought the seed. The villagers were unable to refute to that claim and agreed. The birds would directly eat the rice as soon as it was thrashed. So, the people started to loudly shout " Ha... Ha... Ha..." to scare away the birds, which later became the rhythmic Palam song. While singing Palam, the people would hold hand dance over the paddy harvest which would separate the husk away from the rice. After which, the people started performing Dhan Nach every year during the month of Mangsir.
Tradition
The dance is performed during multiple occasions such as marriage, festivals such as Udhauli, carnivals and celebrations. It can be performed in pairs or in groups. It is performed by men and women without any blood relations holding hands and dancing either in a straight line or a circulus. Historically, the dance was performed for seven days and seven nights.
In recent days, the dance is on the verge of extinction with young people's lack of participation. However, various cultural organisations are raising awareness for preservation and promotion of this dance form.
In popular media
In 2021, a short film titled Kheda was released to raise awareness about the dance form.

Adolphe Stern (November 17, 1848 – October 18, 1931) was a Jewish-Romanian lawyer and politician.
Life
Stern was born on November 17, 1848 in Bucharest, Romania.
The son of a jeweler, Stern went to study law in Berlin after finishing high school in Bucharest. He then received his law degree from the Leipzig University in 1869, making him Romania's first Jewish lawyer. He then returned to Romania and became secretary to the American Consul to Romania, Benjamin F. Peixotto. With Peixotto's encouragement, he and his brother Leopold published the Rumänische Post, a newspaper that focused on issues relevant to the Romanian Jewish community. He also contributed to Jewish and secular Romanian publications, including Adevărul literar și artistic (The Artistic and Literary Truth) and the German-language review Bukarester Salon. He published translations of 19th-century Romanian writers in the latter publication, and his work in translating Schiller, Goethe, Heine, D’Annunzio, and Shakespeare into Romanian was acclaimed by the intelligentsia and played a key role in him being granted Romanian citizenship in 1880. When Peixotto left his position as Consul, Stern became America's Honorary Consul to Romania.
In 1872, Stern founded the Infraitrea Zion (Zion's Brotherhood) with Peixotto, and he was elected its president when Peixotto left Romania in 1876. In 1889, it turned into the Order B'nai B'rith of Roumania, which was affiliated with the larger B'nai B'rith organization and which Stern was president of from its inception and until his death. In 1909, B'nai B'rith produced the Union of Native Jews, which fought for Jewish emancipation and which Stern as president of from its founding until his death. After he obtained citizenship himself in 1880, he became a successful lawyer and circulated the Codus Civil, a digest of common law with his commentaries that was circulated in the legal profession and was known as Codul Stern. He served as president of the Templul Coral at Bucharest for a long time.
Stern actively fought for Jewish emancipation since the 1878 Congress of Berlin, where he represented Romanian Jews and influenced delegates like Benjamin Disraeli and William Waddington to secure Jewish civil and public rights as well the naturalization of Jews in the Treaty of Berlin. His campaign against Jewish persecution in the country forced him to temporarily flee Romania in 1894 in order to escape an organized attack by Romanian students. The Romanian Parliament also attempted to exclude him from his law practice, although it was defeated by a small majority. He secured the interest of the Jewish former Italian Prime Minister Luigi Luzzatti in the cause of Romanian Jews in 1915, and in 1916 he went to Italy at Luzzatti's invitation and stayed there until the end of World War I. He also made contact with several political figures like Georges Clemenceau during the War to inform them of the situation with Romanian Jews and get their support in recognizing Romanian Jewish rights of Romanian citizenship.
In the 1922 Romanian general election, Stern was elected to the Romanian Parliament as a member of the Peasants' Party. He served in Parliament from 1922 to 1926, during which time he focused on the "Jewish question", the upsurge of anti-Semitism, private education, and bringing attention to discriminatory aspects of law with regard to minority rights. He supported the establishment of a National Jewish Party that would help Jews achieve political goals as an ethnic minority, although he was criticized for anachronistic views by Romanian Zionist leaders like Abraham Leib Zissu. He didn't support assimilation, and while he didn't consider himself a Zionist he enthusiastically greeted the Balfour Declaration and supported Keren Hayesod in Romania, especially after he travelled to Palestine in April 1910. He published his memoir Din viața unui evreu român (From the Life of a Romanian Jew) in 1915, followed by Însemnări din viața mea (Notes from My Life) in 1921. The last part of his journal was published in serial form in the Renașterea Noastră from 1929 to 1931. His memoirs and journal recorded his campaign for the emancipation of Jews and the tendencies of the Jewish Romanian society from the late 19th century to the 1920s.
In 1924, B'nai B'rith presented Stern with a marble bust, with Lucien Wolf honoring him in a speech when the bust was presented. He became honorary president of the National Jewish Party upon its founding. His son served as that Party's secretary and was one of its candidates in the 1931 Romanian general election.
Stern died in Bucharest on October 18, 1931.

Stechschulte said director and producer Rob Schroeder contacted him after he finished writing the second book in the series: "When he approached me with optioning just the story and get someone else to write the script, I was well ... no: I'd really like to write the script and see where it's going to go. I didn't fully know where it was going to go and I wanted to be in charge of that journey." Schroeder cited The Manchurian Candidate (1962) as a major influence. Filming in Los Angeles concluded on March 19, 2020. Editing was completed by producer Brock Bodell.

Ficus uncinata, also known as earth fig in English and as ara entimau in Iban, is a species of flowering plant, a fruit tree in the fig family, that is native to Southeast Asia.
Description
The species grows as a shrub or small tree to 8 m in height, with a bole of up to 2 m, from which stolons extend along the ground surface for up to 10 m. The hairy, greenish-brown leaves are 21–27 cm long by 10–11 cm wide. The inflorescences occur along the stolons. The pink, red or brownish-purple fruits are 2–4 cm in diameter, and are covered by spine-like bracts.
The ground-level figs are eaten and the seeds dispersed by pigs, deer, ground squirrels and rats. The function of the bracts is to prevent the fruits being swallowed whole by ground-level seed predators, such as pheasants and partridges.
Distribution and habitat
The species is found in Borneo and possibly in Sumatra. It occurs along streams and in hill areas and mountain forest up to an elevation of 2,000 m.

Zaruhi Shahbaz Bahri (; 31 May 1880 – 13 May 1958) was a prominent Armenian writer, social worker, and community activist. In 1913, she was one of the founding members of the Armenian Red Cross of Constantinople. In the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide, and having lost several family members, Bahri remained in the Ottoman Empire to assist in the relief effort for those who survived the genocide. She eventually fled to Romania and ultimately to France in 1928 where she remained the rest of her life. While in France, she wrote six novels and continued to engage with the local Armenian community.
Life
Zaruhi Shahbaz Bahri was born in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire on 31 May 1880 to a family of ethnic Armenians. She started to become active in the local Armenian community after the Adana massacre of 1909. She also taught Armenian orphans how to sew and embroider. During the Balkan Wars of 1912–13, she was instrumental in providing aid and assistance to ethnic Armenians that served the Ottoman army.
During the Armenian Genocide, Bahri lost several of her family members including her brother and sister. Her sister, Adrine, was deported from the town of Amasya and was ultimately killed. Her brother, Parsegh Shahbaz, a prominent member of the Armenian intellectual community of Constantinople and member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, was deported as part of the deportation of Armenian intellectuals on 24 April 1915 and was ultimately killed.
After the genocide, Bahri remained in Constantinople and assisted in the relief effort of those who survived given that many Armenians sought refuge in the capital after the deportations. Bahri eventually became the head of the Sisli branch of Armenian Red Cross in 1918. During this time, she also became a member of the Armenians Women's Association (AWA) and contributed to the Armenian Women's Journal called Hay Gin. At the request of the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople, Bahri became the director of the Neutral House (Chezok Dun), an organization that was established to determine if surviving children of the genocide were Armenian or Turkish. Due to her involvement with the organization, Turkish authorities suspected her of "Armenianizing Turkish children". As a result, Bahri and her husband and four children fled to Romania where they believed they can easily return to Constantinople once tensions eased. However, they were denied reentry into the country and their assets and property were confiscated. Bahri and her family then moved to France. Her husband, Hagop Bahri, was a prominent lawyer but he couldn't find employment in Paris. Given the difficult financial situation, Bahri started to work as a seamstress and ultimately stopped sending articles to Hay Gin. However, she did continue to continue to write on her own and managed to published several works including her memoirs.
She died in Paris on May 13, 1958, and was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery. In accordance to her wishes, her children took her ashes to Armenia and buried them on the premises of Etchmiadzin Cathedral, the Mother Church of the Armenian Apostolic Church in 1987.
