Chloe Cherry (born August 23, 1997), previously known as Chloe Couture, is an American actress, pornographic actress, and model. After starting her pornographic career in 2015 with Hussie Models, she eventually appeared in over 200 pornographic films. She made her acting debut as Faye on the HBO television series Euphoria (2022–present).
Life and career
Cherry was born on August 23, 1997, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where she was also raised, describing her upbringing as "very conservative and boring". In high school, she worked on her school's yearbook, read morning announcements, and briefly managed a band.
In 2015, one week after she turned 18 years old, she moved from Lancaster to Miami to become an amateur pornographic actress, using the stage name Chloe Couture. She was soon signed to pornographic modeling agency Hussie Models, where she was represented by Riley Reynolds, before moving to Los Angeles and signing with Spiegler Girls. In 2017, she changed her stage name from Chloe Couture to Chloe Cherry due to confusion between her and another Chloe Couture. By 2019, she had starred in over 200 pornographic films and became popular on Pornhub. Early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began primarily using OnlyFans to sell pornographic content.
In 2022, Cherry made her acting debut on the second season of the HBO teen drama television series Euphoria in the recurring role of Faye, a drug-addicted prostitute. Prior to appearing on the show, Cherry made a pornographic parody of Euphoria, in which she played Jules, with fellow pornographic actress Jenna Foxx. Euphorias showrunner, Sam Levinson, later sent Cherry an email asking her to audition for the role of Ami, a stripper and drug addict, after becoming a fan of hers on Instagram due to her sense of humor. After two virtual auditions, Cherry auditioned in person for Levinson in Los Angeles and was given the part of Faye. Cherry was called one of the breakout stars of the show by critics.
In January 2022, Cherry signed a contract with British modeling agency Anti-Agency London. She made her runway debut in February 2022, walking for LaQuan Smith during New York Fashion Week.

Copernicus may have been launched in 1808 or 1810 on the River Thames, under another name. She first appeared as Copernicus in 1821, as a whaler, bound for the southern whale fishery. Thereafter she sailed between England and the East Indies, including Batavia, Ceylon, and Singapore, as well as Indian ports.She was wrecked in 1835.
Origin
Copernicuss origins are obscure. One source states that she was built for the Royal Navy in 1810. However, there does not appear to be any vessel launched for the Royal Navy with a burthen similar to hers. Lloyd's Register (LR) and the Register of Shipping both stated that she was launched on the Thames, with Lloyd's Register giving 1810 as the year and the Register of Shipping reporting 1808. Neither source gave her origin as "King's Yard", and so do not signal that she had been built in a government shipyard. However, a list of vessels built on the Thames in private yards between 1804 and 1812 does not show any vessel of her burthen.
Career
Copernicus first appeared in the Register of Shipping in 1821, and Lloyd's Register in 1822, both showing the same master, owner, and trade.
Captain M'Gregor sailed from London on 9 October 1821. On 6 June 1824 Copernicus reached St Helena from Timor. She arrived at Deal on 22 August. She reached London on 31 August with 492 casks of whale oil.
In 1825 Tindall, of Scarborough, purchased Copernicus, a change that the registers only caught up with a year or more later.
In 1813 the EIC had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a licence from the EIC.
On 27 September 1827 Captain J. Stevens sailed Copernicus from London, bound for Madras and Bengal.
Fate
Copernicus was wrecked on 17 March 1835 in Cochin Bay while sailing from Ceylon and Calcutta to London. Part of the cargo was saved. On 25 March the wreck was sold for breaking up. The ship ran aground and was wrecked in Cochin Bay.

Iza Hussin is an academic at the University of Cambridge, who writes on Islamic law in colonial and post-colonial states. Hussin is lecturer in Asian Politics at the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) and Mohamed Noah Fellow at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Life
Hussin gained an AM and AB from Harvard University before studying for her MA at Georgetown University and gaining a PhD at the University of Washington. She was a member of the political science faculty at the University of Chicago before moving to Cambridge.
For Hussin, Islamic law has been continuously re-invented as a 'problem-space' for the modern state. Her 2016 book The Politics of Islamic Law examinined the way in which the colonial encounter in British Malaya, India and Egypt simultaneously marginalized and centralized Islamic law. The final two chapters used two Malay apostasy cases – that of Lina Joy and Nyonya Tahir – to pursue changing relations between sharia, society and the post-colonial nation-state. One reviewer praised it as "a work of unique critical sensibilities, setting the scene for future interdisciplinary research of colonial and postcolonial Islamic law".
Hussin has participated in campaigns defending academic freedom. In 2018 she was one of 300 academics who signed an open letter to Singapore's Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods, objecting to the committee's efforts to discredit historian P J Thum. In 2019 she defended the poet Alfian Sa’at after he was attacked by Singapore's Education Minister Ong Ye Kung. In 2021 she signed an joint letter in solidarity with students at Boğaziçi University protesting against the Turkish government. In August 2020 she joined the Cambridge University Libraries Decolonisation Working Group (DWG).

"Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache" is a song by American soul group the Bandwagon, later known as Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon. Whilst it was not very successful in the US, it was much more successful in the UK, where it peaked at number 4 on the Singles Chart and was awarded a silver disc for 250,000 sales there.
Release
The Bandwagon's debut single "Baby Make Your Own Sweet Music" had been a hit in several US states, but failed to chart nationally. However, "Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache" fared marginally better, peaking at number 115 on the Billboard chart and number 100 on the Cash Box chart. It was released in June 1968 with the B-side "Dancin' Master", with both sides written and produced by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell. It was released in the UK over a month later, but didn't enter the Singles Chart until the third week of October, reaching its peak five weeks later and spending a total of fifteen weeks on the chart. "Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache" has been re-released several times in the UK, notably peaking at number 56 in September 1974.

Eugonophyllum is a genus of green algae in the family Halimedaceae. Specimens have been found in Carboniferous to Permian beds in North America, Europe, and east Asia.
The alga is phylloid, meaning it has leaflike photosynthesizing structures called thalli (singular: thallus). A thallus has the form of a broad, undulating blade, with circular to oval perforations scattered randomly across the blade. The blade consists of a fibrous medulla enclosed in a two-layered cortex. The thicker inner cortex consists of anastomosing utricles; that is, small sacklike structures joined by openings to their neighbors. The thin outer cortex consists of branchlets extending outwards from the inner cortex. Reproductive organs take the form of spherical protuberances within the inner cortex that are scattered irregularly over the surface of the thallus.
The alga is calcareous and its remains are important components of carbonate rock beds of Pennsylvanian to early Permian. It is particularly prominent as a carbonate producer (together with Paraepimastopora kansasensis) in rocks of Kasimovian to Gzhelian age, in regions of warm water notably close to glaciated continental areas. It grew below wave base, probably in protected shallow water, and grew to at least a few inches in height

LQ Hydrae is a single variable star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It is sometimes identified as Gl 355 from the Gliese Catalogue; LQ Hya is the variable star designation. The brightness of the star ranges from an apparent visual magnitude of 7.79 down to 7.86, which is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements, this star is located at a distance of 59.6 light years from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 7.6 km/s.
During a 1981 survey of southern stars, W. P. Bidelman found the H and K lines of ionized calcium for LQ Hya were filled in with emission. (W. D. Heintz independently made the same observation.) In 1986, F. C. Fekel and associates determined this is a young, rapidly rotating BY Draconis-type variable. A decade of photometry was used to determine a rotation period of 1.601136 days. The star spots on the surface showed significant evolution over time scales of a few months. Variations in rotational modulation of surface activity suggested the star is undergoing differential rotation.
The high lithium abundance and rapid rotation of this star indicate it is a zero age main sequence, or possibly even a pre-main sequence star. A strong flare event was observed on December 22, 1993, with an estimated energy release of . Additional flares were detected thereafter, with ROSAT X-ray data from 1992 showing a strong flare during that time period. Observations from December 2000 and 2001 showed that the magnetic field of the star is dramatically changing its topology on a time frame of a year or less.
The stellar classification of LQ Hya is K1Vp, indicating it is a K-type main-sequence star with some peculiar features in the spectrum. In some respects it is considered an analog of a young Sun around the age of 60 million years. It shows strong emission of ultraviolet and has been detected in the X-ray band, showing an X-ray emission of and indicating high chromospheric activity levels. The star shows dual magnetic activity cycles with period of 6.8 and 11.4 years, which are somewhat comparable to the solar cycle in the Sun.

Parliamentary elections are expected to be held in 2024 in North Macedonia.
Electoral system
Of the 123 seats in the Assembly of the Republic, 120 are elected from six 20-seat constituencies in North Macedonia using closed list proportional representation, with seats allocated using the d'Hondt method. The remaining three seats are elected by Macedonians living abroad, but are only filled if the number of votes exceeds that of the elected candidate with the fewest votes in North Macedonia in the previous election. If a list crosses this threshold, it wins one seat; to win two seats, a list needs to win twice the number of votes, and to win three seats the threshold is three times the number of votes. These seats were not filled in the 2016 elections due to insufficient turnout.

The town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire, England has historically been affected by flooding of the Severn. The Frankwell area, has been particularly affected, but flood defence measures have largely been effective in the area.
Geography
Shrewsbury is about west of Telford, west of Birmingham and the West Midlands Conurbation, and about north-west of the capital, London. More locally, the town is to the east of Welshpool, with Bridgnorth and Kidderminster to the south-east. The town centre is partially built on a hill whose elevation is, at its highest, above sea level. The longest river in the UK, the River Severn, flows through the town, forming a meander around its centre. The town is subject to flooding from the river.
Defences
Most of the ceremonial county of Shropshire is covered for purposes of local government by Shropshire Council, a unitary authority established in 2009. Telford and Wrekin is a unitary authority, with borough status, which forms part of the county for various functions such as Lord Lieutenant but is a separate local authority from Shropshire Council. However many services are shared across both authorities, such as the fire and rescue service, and the two authorities co-operate on some projects such as mapping flood risk.
In 1954, A scale model was built by hydraulic engineer Claude Inglis to model the effects of flood defenses.
Environment Agency Plans for defences
The Frankwell flood defences were completed in 2003, along with the new offices of Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council.Frankwell Flood Aleviation scheme

From the late 1990s, the town experienced severe flooding problems from the Severn and Rea Brook. In the autumn of 2000 large swathes of the town were underwater, notably Frankwell, which flooded three times in six weeks. The Frankwell flood defences were completed in 2003, along with the new offices of Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council. More recently, such as in 2005 and 2007 but not 2020, flooding has been less severe, and the defences have generally held back floodwaters from the town centre areas. However, the town car parks are often left to be flooded in the winter, which reduces trade in the town, most evidenced in the run up to Christmas in 2007.
November 2019
On 14 November nine schools in Shropshire were closed because of floods. The Environment Agency issued three flood warnings for the county, two on the River Severn and one on the River Teme. Sections of the A49 and A488 were closed as were a number of minor roads, particularly in the south of the county. On 15 November four schools remained closed.
On 15 November 2019 rail services between Shrewsbury and Welshpool did not run due to flooding.
Storm Dennis (February 2020)
Properties were flooded in the centre of Shrewsbury as the Severn burst its banks. The Environment Agency described the flooding across parts of the West Midlands as "unprecedented", and warned that excess runoff from the upper reaches of the Severn in Wales meant that the flooding in the lower Severn valley would likely be prolonged for at least three days.

Kinnoull Terrace is a street in the Kinnoull area of Perth, Scotland. A cul-de-sac, it contains five properties (four villas and one double villa), each of which is of listed status and dating from the 19th century. The street was designed specifically, in the mid-19th century, to take advantage of its viewpoint across the River Tay, as was the case with the six villas in Bridgend, a few hundred yards to the north. Several notable architects were used to design the properties, including Andrew Heiton and David Smart.
The three properties on the western side of the street each have gates in the communal boundary wall that runs along a stretch of the Dundee Road (the A85) to the west; however, the one for Langlands (formerly Murrayville), the northernmost of the three, has been filled in.
Several of the properties appear on maps of Perth from the 1860s.
Villas

5, Somerset – Category C listed
Another, smaller property on the street was formerly the offices of John McLaren and Philip Russell Diplock, architects and planning consultants. Known as "the Den", it is Category C listed.
Architects
The architect of the double villa Craigievar and Darnick was Andrew Heiton, who also lived at the property upon its completion in 1870. It remained in the Heiton family until 1927, when Andrew Granger Heiton's widow, Catherine, sold it. David Smart designed Witchhill House, which was completed around 1860.

The Unheard Herbie Nichols, Vol. 1 is an album by trombonist Roswell Rudd. It was recorded in November 1996 at The Spirit Room in Rossie, NY, and was released by CIMP in 1997. On the album, which features little-heard works by composer and pianist Herbie Nichols, Rudd is joined by guitarist Greg Millar and drummer John Bacon, Jr.
The album, which is the companion to The Unheard Herbie Nichols, Vol. 2, was part of an effort to revive the reputation of Nichols, with whom Rudd worked between 1960 and 1962. According to Rudd, Nichols was using the compositions to teach him improvisation and form. He recalled: "I realized then that what we were doing needed to be recorded. No takers... until, fast forward to two exhausting, uplifting, back-to-back days at CIMP... It was a modest budget but we had free rein and were able to lay down respectful outlines of 15 of the folio of 27 songs. It was a long, long hope come true."
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "On this 1996 set, Rudd debuts seven Nichols compositions that were never previously recorded... Five of the pieces... feature the entire group, and although the structures are quite tricky, the music... generally swings in its own fashion. The final two numbers... are taken as unaccompanied trombone solos and find Rudd putting plenty of feeling into his interpretations of his fallen friend's music. Overall, this is an intriguing set of 'new' music."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars, and commented: "Much of this material is genuinely unknown and unheard... The trio is well-balanced and responsive, with Millar taking much of the accompanist's role... A valuable insight into two great – and sadly under-documented – artists."
Bill Shoemaker, writing for Jazz Times, remarked: "Nobody knows better than Rudd that Nichols was not a simple modernist, that the unfettered swing of Nichols' often complex music was shaped by the music of the '20 and '30s, and that of his Caribbean roots. Rudd incisively conveys this insight in a wide variety of compositions... Rudd's arrangements also reflect his own idiosyncratic genius, as these performances veer far away from the standard head-solos-head mold... Hearing Rudd soar exultantly in this setting may very well prompt you to dig out his vintage recordings; it's a shame that so few of them are available on domestic CDs."
Writer Todd Jenkins stated: "These interpretations... are not only fabulous, they make us regretful that we can never hear them played by their creator's hands."

Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos wrote: "This second volume of excavated music from the floodwaters that destroyed much of Nichols' possessions and undocumented compositions still only scratches the surface, but it's an intriguing facade. Rudd is the perfect person to do the digging, being a close personal friend of the late pianist/composer... Everyone needs to hear more of Herbie Nichols' music, and Rudd as executor makes perfect sense."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "Much of this material is genuinely unknown and unheard...

Lucy Olcott (1877–1922) was an American art historian and dealer who specialized in the art of Siena as well as Egyptian antiquities, working for both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art. She was co-author (with historian William Heywood) of the widely-read Guide to Siena, published in 1903.
Early life and family
Lucy May Olcott was born 1 May 1877 in Manhattan, the daughter of Emmet Robinson Olcott, a member of the New York bar, and Mary Gardner Olcott (nee Clapp). She was raised in New York and graduated from the Normal School (Hunter College) in 1897. After graduation she traveled to Italy with her mother, where she met the art historian Frederick Mason Perkins, her future husband.
Adult life
Marriage and work in Italy
Olcott married Perkins in 1900, after which the couple settled in Siena, forming part of a network of historians and connoisseurs that included Robert Langton Douglas and Robert H. Hobart Cust. Olcott collaborated with historian William Heywood on Guide to Siena, which was published in 1903 and positively received. Her contribution shed new light on Sienese art history, as well as proposing a number of new artistic attributions. The popularity of the book resulted in the production of multiple editions. Olcott also collaborated with Bernard Berenson and his wife Mary Berenson, publishing articles in Burlington Magazine and Italian art journals. Olcott was also involved with the curation of a major Sienese art exhibition in 1904. Her expertise in Sienese art was demonstrated through her contributions in Bryan’s Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, providing several artists' biographies. G. C. Williamson particularly noted her superior efforts on the biographies of Ambrogio Lorenzetti, Pietro Lorenzetti, Vechietta and Simone Martini. The marriage broke down during her time in Siena, and she then moved to the US.
Work in the United States
Olcott found a position at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, working with the library collection to augment its collection of photographs as well drawing upon her expertise to publish articles on more-obscure works of the Italian Renaissance in the museum's collection. She later served as the first Museum Instructor for the Met, responsible for the education of both teachers as well as the general public. She left the Met in 1909 when her affair with curator Bryson Burroughs was brought to light and transitioned to work as a private dealer.
Earlier in her career, Olcott had studied with Theodore Davis, being present during his archaeological work in Egypt in 1905. When the soon-to-be-opened Cleveland Museum of Art was looking to develop a collection of Egyptian art, Henry Kent of the Met recommended Olcott for the role. She served as an acquisition agent for both the Cleveland Museum of Art as well as the Brooklyn Museum of Art, filling 24 crates of antiquities to create their collections. She also acquired a number of ancient Egyptian textiles and carved panels for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Death and legacy
Olcott had struggled with mental illness during her life and died in the Ward's Island hospital in 1922. However her contributions to the understanding of Siena's art and history were considered crucial for both scholars as well as the general public.

Litherland Town Hall is a former municipal building in Hatton Hill Road, Litherland, Merseyside, England. The structure, which was the headquarters of Litherland Urban District Council, now functions as a health centre.
History
Following significant population growth, largely associated with its proximity to the Liverpool Docks, the area became an urban district in 1894. The new council initially based itself in offices at Summerhill Cottage before acquiring Litherland House in 1904. In the 1930s, civic leaders decided to commission a purpose-built town hall: the site they selected formed part of the open land alongside Field Lane which later became known as Hatton Hill Park.
The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the chairman of the council, Councillor J. W. Anderson, on 25 February 1939. It was designed by Gerald de Courcy Fraser in the Italianate style, built in red brick with stone dressings at a cost of £20,000 and was officially opened by the chairman of the council, Councillor John Eaton in February 1941. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing southeast towards Sefton Road; the central bay featured a doorway flanked by pairs of pilasters supporting an entablature and a wrought-iron grill. There was a French door on the first floor. The other bays were fenestrated by square headed casement windows with architraves on the ground floor and by round headed windows on the first floor. Internally, the principal room was the main assembly hall which was equipped with a stage.
The rock band, The Beatles, having just returned from Hamburg, performed in front of a live audience of 1,500 enthusiastic fans at the town hall in December 1960. The band performed 20 shows at the town hall including their final performance there in November 1961. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of Litherland Urban District Council but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Sefton Council was formed in 1974. It was then used as a community events centre until being converted into a health centre, under an initiative led by Lord Darzi to provide wider access to healthcare, in 2009.

The Ladies of the Maccabees (L.O.T.M.) (renamed in 1892, Ladies of the Modern Maccabees (L.O.T.M.M.); in 1915, Women's Benefit Association; in 1966, North American Benefit Association) was the female auxiliary of the Knights of the Maccabees. It was the first fraternal benefit society operated exclusively by women. This was an insurance benefit society which grew to 80,000 members by 1913 and had paid out over $50 million in endowment benefits. The Ladies of the Maccabees Building, in Port Huron, Michigan was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Early history
On March 25, 1886, nine ladies met at the home of Adelphia Grace Ward (aka Mother of the Order, Past Great Commander) to establish the order of the Ladies of the Maccabees (L.O.T.M.). She became known as "Mother Ward" throughout the length and breadth of Maccabeedom.
The women began as a local club, or "Hive" in Muskegon, Michigan, but made application to form a statewide auxiliary at the Great Camps 1886 convention; they were denied. They tried again at the 1887 convention and were turned down. In 1888, permission was given to create a "Great Hive" for the state. Laws were drawn up and officials elected and the Great Hive of Michigan was chartered in May 1890. Great Hives were founded in other states such as Ohio and New York, and a "Supreme Hive" was established on October 1, 1892.
In 1892, there was a schism within the auxiliary and a new group was formed called the Ladies of the Modern Maccabees (L.O.T.M.M.). The L.O.T.M.M. were later led by schoolteacher Bina West Miller who wanted to help build a fraternal insurance society for women, and she was quite successful.
By December 1, 1896, there were Great Hives in half of the states in the Union as well as Canada and membership was up to 66,000, with 33,000 in Michigan alone.
20th century
The L.O.T.M.M. became the Women's Benefit Association in 1915 and the North American Benefit Association in 1966.
In 1915, the L.O.T.M. had 179,719 members. The Ladies of the Maccebees merged into the Knights in 1926.
By the early twentieth century, the group had 100,000 members and by the late 1920s over 250,000. It still had 80,000 members in 1994.

Complexe Urbain Charras, promoted in real estate as Zodiaque and commonly called Centre Charras, is a former military garrison site and current residential and entertainment district in Courbevoie, Hauts-de-Seine, France.
Caserne Charras
Caserne Charras was one of three identical barracks built for the Swiss Guards in 1756, along with those in Saint-Denis and Rueil-Malmaison (the only one still standing).
It later became home to a succession of French Army garrisons. In 1886, it was renamed in honor of former Minister of War Jean-Baptiste-Adolphe Charras, a Republican and exiled opponent of Napoleon III. It housed the École des officiers de la gendarmerie nationale for a short period between mid-1943 and late 1945.
In 1961, the barracks was decommissioned and bought by the city of Courbevoie for demolition. Only its front wall has been preserved, and moved to Parc de Bécon, a public park on the banks of the river Seine.
Zodiaque
On the land formerly occupied by the barracks, architect Henry Pottier was commissioned to build a large ensemble consisting of several residential buildings arranged around an elevated square (Place Charles de Gaulle), under which are located a shopping center, a multistorey car park and public sports facilities. As reflected by its name, the ensemble has an astrological theme, and the architecture of its main residential buildings is loosely inspired by signs of the zodiac.
Residential buildings
Poissons (English: Pisces), a skyscraper designed to look like two imbricated towers, one with 42 floors, the other with 35 floors. Upon completion, it comprised 299 housing units, a medical center and 8000 m2 of office space. It briefly was France's tallest occupiable building before the opening of Tour Montparnasse in 1973.
Gémeaux (English: Gemini), a 25-floor apartment block with 455 housing units.
Verseaux (English: Aquarius), a 9-floor building featuring 149 housing units.
Bélier (English: Taurus), an 18-floor tower with 125 apartments.
Sagittaire (English: Sagittarius), a 9-floor apartment block with 88 housing units and retail space on the bottom floor.
Capricorne (English: Capricorn), a 9-floor, 120-apartment building. Together with Bélier and Sagittaire, it is located on the north side of rue de l'Alma, while the rest of the complex is located to the south. Originally, Capricorne was going to extend above rue de l'Alma and bridge both sides, but the idea was abandoned and the building scaled back.
In 1977, the complex was extended with Balance (English: Libra), an 8 to 13 floor slanted roof building containing 126 units. It was built together with a series of towers that stretches to the east of rue de l'Alma. While they are all architecturally similar, only Balance is part of the Zodiaque ensemble. The other towers form a different complex called Les Mousquetaires (English: The Musketeers), which is divided into four residences, each consisting of one or two towers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d'Artagnan.
Sports and leisure
An ice rink featuring a 56 × 26 metre track. It was renamed in honor of Thierry Monier, the longtime coach of local ice hockey team Coqs de Courbevoie, after his death in 2007. It has received poor reviews due to its obstructed views.
A swimming pool featuring an 8-lane, 50-metre main pool and a 5-lane, 25-metre second pool. It is home to Stade Français Olympique Courbevoie, the swimming section of storied multisports club Stade français.
A 12-lane bowling center. It is home to the Bowling club olympique de Courbevoie.
An athletics track was also considered for the southern end of the complex, but it was replaced by a terrace featuring a 200 m2 paddling pool and two outdoor volleyball courts.
Shopping and hospitality
Centre Commercial Charras, an indoor shopping center located below Place Charles de Gaulle, featuring a Carrefour supermarket and space for 80 shops. However, the building's age and outdated configuration have caused its occupancy rate to fall in the 2000s.
Hôtel Mercure Paris La Défense, a 507-room hotel operated by Accor under its Mercure brand as of 2022.
1800 parking spaces
In 2021, a 2400 m2 indoor market called Marché Charras was built on the public square bordering Résidence Balance. Designed by the Croixmarie Bourdon agency, it adds another 600 parking spaces below the retail floor, while its slanted roof is intended to align with Balance's silhouette when looked at from certain angles.

Hala International School (HIS) () was a K–12 gender-isolated English-medium multicultural international school in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that served students across 24 different nationalities from the city, mostly the Pakistani diaspora. Established in 1991, it was accredited to the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and later with the Cambridge Assessment International Education. It was approved by the Ministry of Education, Government of Saudi Arabia and was regarded as one of the best performing schools in Jeddah prior to its closure in 2018.
History
Hala International School was established in 1991. The school's had its first batch of IGCSE students graduated in the year 2000. In May 2002, Hala International School was one of the participants in the JCL Inter-School U-15 Schools Cricket Tournament, organized by the Jeddah Cricket League and sponsored by Saudi Gazette. In November 2003, the school organized a science fair within its campus where children from grades 4 to 10 honed their skills and exhibited several exhibits. In August 2005, six of forty-one students in the sixth graduating batch of Hala became eligible for ICE (International Certificate of Education) award. In February 2009, Arab News reported that one of Hala's students was among the 6 students from Saudi Arabia that ranked top "in the world" in the CIE examinations conducted in June 2008.

Piarist High School is an architectural ensemble in Timișoara, originally intended for the high school established by the Piarist Order. The Secession-style ensemble, comprising a high school, a chapel church and a boarding school, was designed by and opened in 1909. After World War II, some faculties of the Timișoara Polytechnic School functioned here. Gerhardinum, the high school of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timișoara, is currently operating here. The ensemble is inscribed in the list of historical monuments in Romania.
History
Piarist High School
In Central Europe, there were Piarist schools in six provinces ("ordinariates"): Austria, Czechia-Moravia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The first Piarist school in Transylvania was the gymnasium founded in 1717 in Bistrița. It was followed by those from Carei and Sighetu Marmației. Cluj also boasted a Piarist institution.
In Banat, the activity of monk-teachers began in 1747 when the Serbian nobleman Iacob Bibici and his wife Margareta Tomian built a church and a monastery on their estate in Sântana, which in 1750 they donated, together with the sum of 15,000 Rhenish florins, to the Piarist Order, for them to set up a gymnasium there. The gymnasium was inaugurated in 1751 with three classes: lower, middle and upper. The classes were apparently run by Bulgarian monks at first, but soon priest-teachers trained in several languages were called up here. From the very beginning classes were taught in all the languages spoken then in the empire, providing a revolutionary system for the teaching methods of the 18th century. In 1772, two more classes were added, the fourth and the fifth, which, together with three classes of the primary school, formed the eight classes of education of the time. 1784 brings the closure of the boarding school next to the school, by order of the emperor, and in 1788 the school premises are requisitioned for the military hospital of the Timișoara garrison. In the short time in Sântana, an estimated 17,000 students from all over the region attended school.
According to an imperial patent of Emperor Joseph II, the order will be established in Timișoara from 1788, where shortly after arrival they will have to transform the school they ran into an eight-grade gymnasium. As previously said, the Jesuits already had a church and a school in Timișoara, built in 1726, somewhere in the perimeter delimited by the north side of the Liberty Square and on the current Emanuil Ungureanu Street, but the number of students was very small. In 1769 there were only 20 students in all six classes. In 1778 the gymnasium was closed, after the abolition of the Jesuit Order in 1773. Franciscans from Bosnia built a Baroque church between 1733 and 1736. After the arrival of the Piarists, the activity of the Franciscans decreases, and their church becomes the property of the Piarists, who will use it until 1911, when it will be demolished, and in its place the Palace of the Credit Bank will be built next year.
The language of instruction was initially, for a short time, Latin. But, by a decree of Joseph II, German was imposed as the official language of the high school. From the middle of the 19th century until the end of World War I, classes were taught in Hungarian, and from 1920 the teaching system in Romanian was applied. At the beginning of the 19th century, there were few Romanian students in high school, but this situation may also be due to the fact that they were Orthodox and, by order of the Serbian patriarch Stefan Stratimirović, Orthodox students could not enroll in German schools unless they had Serbian names.
In 1802, the sixth grade was added to the Piarist gymnasium, which operated in the Catholic seminary. Since 1841 it has been elevated to the rank of high school (upper gymnasium). In 1850 it became a complete high school (with eight classes). At that time the high school had 12 teachers, a physics laboratory, a mineralogy collection and a herbarium. In the school year 1852–1853, the high school had 184 students, of whom 41 were Germans, 66 Hungarians, 45 Serbs, 26 Romanians, 4 Croats, and 2 Slovenes. Among the high school students was the future writer Ioan Slavici, who attended the sixth and seventh grades of high school here between 1865 and 1867.
The old Jesuit monastery is gradually becoming too small for the needs of the school and moving solutions are being sought. In this old building, the Popular Art School on Emanuil Ungureanu Street still operates today. But the adjoining church no longer exists. The architectural complex of the Piarist High School, existing to this day, with classrooms, boarding school, dormitory and chapel, was built between 1908 and 1909, with the ministerial authorization issued on 26 March 1907. The building project was designed by Alexander Baumgarten, a technical expert, whereas the detailed plans of the building were designed by the City Engineers' Office. The buildings were raised by the construction masters from Arnold Merbl & Co. under the supervision of the architect . The whole complex is elaborated in the Secession style, popular at that time, but with much more faded touches, resembling in some details a classicism adapted to the place. The newly established school soon became an elite unit of Banat, so many students from all neighboring areas attended it. They also came here from Serbia, Slovenia, Galicia and Wallachia (for example, the sons of the Bibescu family). By 1918, 46,000 students had graduated here. The lazaretto of the Wehrmacht was housed within the massive walls of this high school during World War II.
Polytechnic Institute
After World War II, following the ban by the communist authorities on the activities of the monastic orders of the Roman Catholic Church, the activity of the Piarist High School ceased. In 1946, the high school and boarding school buildings were assigned to the Timișoara Polytechnic School. The building on Piatra Craiului Street became the library of the Polytechnic. Only the chapel could keep its original destination.
After 1948, following its reorganization into a Polytechnic Institute, most of the newly established Faculty of Electrotechnics moved in the high school building, which is why the ensemble was called Electro. Some of the laboratories of the Faculty of Chemistry also moved in the library building. In the 1970s, amid a development of electronics and computer science, the high school building became too small and the topic of building a new headquarters for the Faculty of Electrotechnics was raised; it will be put into use in 1976. Most of the Faculty of Electrotechnics is moved to the new headquarters, which is why after this date the Piarist ensemble was called Old Electro.
After 1989, the issue of returning the ensemble to the Roman Catholic Church arose. The Faculty of Electrotechnics is completely relocated to the new headquarters, so the high school building was retroceded relatively quickly in 1992. The laboratories of the Faculty of Chemistry could also be moved, as a new headquarters was built in 1982 for the Faculty of Chemistry. The library was the last to be moved; its new headquarters was inaugurated in 2014.
Gerhardinum High School
After the 1990s, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timișoara managed to regain its school complex and established here the Gerhardinum Roman Catholic High School, after the name of Saint Gerard, the first bishop and patron saint of the diocese. Priest-teacher Petru Szabó was appointed first principal on 8 September 1992. The transfer to possession was gradually made in several stages; the final handover took place in 2006. Also in 2006, a boarding school with 80 places was created in the old Piarist dormitory.
The school is a state high school, which operates under the protection of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timișoara, with teaching departments in Romanian and Hungarian. The profile of the high school is theological-humanistic. It also teaches real subjects, such as computer operator courses. Upon graduating high school, after taking an exam of professional skills, students have the right to teach religion in schools with grades I–VIII. The graduation exam of the computer operator course ensures the International Computer Driving Licence, an internationally recognized certificate.
Piarist Church
The Piarist Church is the church of the Order of Piarist Monks, who came to Timișoara in 1788 and received the monastery of Franciscan monks and the church of St. John of Nepomuk built between 1733 and 1736 on the site of an old mosque, in turn built over a medieval Catholic church. The Piarists built a new church and school in 1909. The old church was taken over by the municipality and demolished in 1911, 261 skeletons of some personalities, monks and Austrian soldiers that defended the city during the siege of 1849 being moved from its crypt. The tomb of , the wife of , the city's commander, has been identified. Johanna von Grath was Beethoven's first love.
The new church was dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and is distinguished by eclectic and historicist elements – e.g., the false buttresses of the tower or the conical helmet of the tower. However, it is the only church in Timișoara that clearly fits into the "1900s style" – because, even at that time, neo-Gothic or neo-Romanesque were preferred for churches, being more sober and imposing. The secondary altars were ordered and executed in Munich, and the interior retains some elements from the old Franciscan church. painted frescoes of the interior with scenes from the life of Joseph Calasanz, the founder of the Piarist Order in 1597.
Piarists have been active after 1948, because it was considered a student church. The last Piarist in the country, Ferenc Való, lived and died here in 2005. Since then, the church has been taken over by the priests of the Gerhardinum Roman Catholic Theological High School. The Holy Masses, as well as the devotions to Rita of Cascia and Anthony of Padua are celebrated here in Hungarian and Romanian.

Apple rubbery wood virus, also known as apple rubodvirus is a viral disease that causes apple rubbery wood in apple and pear cultivars. There are two varieties: ARWV 1 and ARWV 2. It gets its name from its distinctive effect that it has on its host trees, which show unusual flexibility in the stems and branches after a few years of infection. This often results in the maturing fruits of the tree to weigh down the branches such that they lay on the ground. Apple rubbery wood, or ARW, occurs worldwide, affecting apple and pear cultivars in most developed countries.
Taxonomy
Originally, ARW was assumed to be caused by phytoplasmas, but it could not be confirmed through multiple tests.
In 2019, it was suggested that both ARW 1 and 2 are given their own new genus, "Rubodvirus" (Rubbery wood virus), the name coming from Rub- in "Rubbery", and -od in "wood".
Symptoms
Limbs of the host tree become abnormally flexible, becoming unable to stay upright in most cases. Tree growth is stunted, and new stems and limbs are unable to grow, are distorted, or are rosetted. The limbs of affected trees are distinctly "flat", caused by atrophy of the vascular tissue. On some trees, like Quince, bark necrosis and discolored leaves can occur.
Impact
ARW rarely occurs by itself, and instead often occurs along with multiple other diseases, such as powdery mildew and scabbing. Its biggest effect in losses is through fruit yield, which can be reduced by 10–30%, though it isn't of much economic significance in countries where it is extant. It is transmitted from tree to tree through grafting of infected limbs.
ARW is known to infect multiple cultivars, including:
Cydonia oblonga (quince)
Malus (ornamental species apple)
Malus baccata (siberian crab apple)
Malus domestica (apple)
Prunus avium (sweet cherry)
Prunus cerasus (sour cherry)
Pyrus communis (European pear)
Treatment
In Europe, heat treatment can be used to render trees disease-free. A period of 7 days of dry heat exposure (38°C) is effective on young, infected trees.

Alena Aladava, Belarusian: Алена Васілеўна Аладава (1907 - 1986) was a Belarusian art historian and curator, who was Director of the Belarusian National Arts Museum from 1944 to 1977. Aladava was responsible for the reconstruction of the museum's collection in the post-war period in Belarus, tracking down lost collections, acquiring new pieces and undertaking expeditions to the country's regions in search of existing works.
Biography
Alena Puk was born in 1907. She studied at the Belarusian State University. In 1928 Aladava married Mikalai Aladov (be), who was a composer and Director of the Belarusian Conservatoire. They had three children, the musicologist Radaslava Aladava (be), and the architect Valmen Aladov, and Gemir.
Prior to the Nazi invasion of Belarus in 1941, Aladava was working for the Belarusian National Arts Museum in Minsk, as Head of the Department of Russian and Belarusian Art. During the invasion of 1941, all 2771 works from the collection were stolen; some were deliberately selected by Hans Posse and Cajetan Müllmann, for German collections.
From Minsk Aladava was evacuated to Saratov, where she worked for the Radishchev Museum. In January 1944 she moved to Moscow where she curated an exhibition of Belarusian art entitled "Belarus lives! Belarus struggles!" As a result of this several rooms in the Minsk Trade Union Building were allocated for Aladava to run a national gallery from, which eventually opened in 1947.
After the end of the Second World War, Aladava led the reconstruction of the national art collection. She had been appointed Director in 1944 and one of her first tasks had been to organise the gallery's first inventory of works, which was based entirely on the memories of members of staff, since no previous list had been made. The inventory enabled Aladave to track artworks that had been looted from the Belarusian collection, some of which by then were then in private Russian collections, and to organise their reacquisition. Her work also involved purchasing art from artists such as Boris Kustodiev, Vasily Polenov, Karl Briullov and Isaak Levitan.
In 1957, due to Aladava's efforts a new building for the art museum, designed by Mikhail Baklanov, was unveiled. She led a number of research expeditions during her time as Director, notably discovering the icon of the Virgin Hodegetria of Smolensk from Dubyanets in 1958. On one occasion, whilst director of the museum, Aladava complained to the visiting artist Nadia Léger about a lack of funding. Léger removed a gold brooch from her coat and offered it to Aladava for the museum. Aladava did not accept it.
Aladava retired in 1977. She was succeeded by Yury Karachun, who had been Chairman of the Belarusian Division of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). She died in 1986.
Legacy
To commemorate the centenary of her birth, Aladava was featured on the 1 and 10 ruble coins. She was also featured on a commemorative stamp.

Alfred Pizzi Newton, (1830 – 1883) was an English painter in water-colours.
Alfred Pizzi Newton, born in 1830, was a native of Essex, but, through his mother, of Italian descent. His earliest works were painted in the Highlands of Scotland, and, as he happened to be painting the scenery near Inverlochy Castle, which was then occupied by Queen Victoria, he obtained her patronage. She selected him to paint a picture as a wedding gift to the Princess Royal in 1858, and he also contributed some sketches for the royal album of drawings. He exhibited a few pictures at the Royal Academy in 1855 and the following years, but on 1 March 1858 he was elected an associate of the "Old" Society of Painters in Water-colours. From this time he was a constant and prolific contributor to their exhibitions, though he did not attain full membership till 24 March 1879. A winter scene, Mountain Gloom, painted in the Pass of Glencoe under trying circumstances, attracted notice in 1860. In 1862 Newton visited the Riviera and Italy, finding there many subjects for his later pictures. In 1880 his picture of The Mountain Pass was much commended. In 1882, though in failing health, Newton visited Athens, painting there, among other pictures, one called Shattered Desolation.
Newton married in 1864 the daughter of Edward Wylie of 14 Rock Park, Rockferry, Liverpool, by whom he had five children. He died at his father-in-law's house on 9 September 1883, aged 53. A portrait of him appeared in the Illustrated London News on 27 October 1883.

Arnold Jan d'Ailly was mayor of Amsterdam between 1946 and 1956.
Pre-political career
Arnold Jan d'Ailly was born in Franeker and grew up in Doesburg, Gelderland as the son of a general practitioner. After completing his Gymnasium Alfa exam, d'Ailly studied law at the University of Amsterdam, completing his doctorate in 1926. He subsequently became a lawyer and court clerk at the Amsterdam courthouse. In October 1929 d'Ailly traded his job in law for a range of jobs in the financial sector, so he could earn money to support his father in law, whose business had gone bankrupt following the Wall Street Crash of 1929. As third secretary of the Amsterdam stock exchange, he rose the corporate ranks. In his private life, he married to Anna Fritz in 1930 and had five children, one of which died at childbirth.
In 1940, d'Ailly was promoted to director of the KAS-Vereeniging bank. He was notably cautious during the German occupation of the Netherlands between 1940 and 1945 and refused to let the KAS-Vereeniging join the Nationaal Steunfonds until 1944, despite being prompted several times and being one of only two Dutch banks to not join the Nationaal Steunfonds. After 1944, he assisted in financing the 1944 railway strike that intended to break down German logistics during operation Market garden.
Labour party membership
Arnold Jan d'Ailly had never publicly shown an interest in politics, until he joined the recently founded Labour Party in 1946. After the war d'Ailly was considered but passed for the position of minister of finance in the Schermerhorn–Drees cabinet, and continued serving in finance where he climbed the ranks to become board member of the Central Bank of the Netherlands, as well as head of the Herstelbank, a financial institute tasked with managing funds for the wartime recovery. At this point in time, d'Ailly enjoyed a position of status amongst Amsterdam socialites.
Mayor of Amsterdam
After the Second World War, Amsterdam was temporarily led by Dutch resistance member Feike de Boer. Arnold Jan d'Ailly was selected to replace him. Under his tenure, Amsterdam would recover from the damage done by the war. He spearheaded infrastructure projects such as the completion of the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal, the Utrechtseweg highway, the expansion of the Amsterdam docks, and the recovery of Schiphol international airport. He also expanded Amsterdam with the new suburbs at Bos en Lommer, Geuzenveld, Slotervaart and Slotermeer. Between 1952 and 1956, Arnold Jan d'Ailly's was also the head of the Council of Municipalities (Vereniging der Nederlandse Gemeenten, VNG).
In 1949, in response to the Czechoslovak coup d'état one year earlier, Arnold Jan d'Ailly fired aldermen Ben Polak and Leen Seegers of the Communist Party on the Amsterdam council, a move that was on uneven footing with municipal law at the time. As a result of the decision, a fight broke out on the municipal council floor.
In 1951, Jan d'Ailly left the Labour party over a conflict between premier Willem Drees and party leader Marinus van der Goes van Naters.
Arnold Jan d'Ailly was described as a mayor with a charming and down to earth personality, and well liked by his peers. He attended a wide variety of social gatherings with common residents of Amsterdam. On occasion, he'd give street children a lift in his car. d'Ailly was equally on good terms with the Dutch royal family, and took part in the commission that assisted Princess Beatrix in her ascendency to queen.
d'Ailly was a frequent flyer who travelled to as many as 40 foreign cities to promote Amsterdam trade relations. This earned him the nickname "the flying mayor". In a cartoon by Jo Spier, he was titled "Mayor d' Ailleurs" (French: "mayor of Elsewhere").
Retirement and later life
In 1956 d'Ailly announced his retirement as mayor of Amsterdam. Though he claimed it was time for a new political wind in Amsterdam, in actuality an affair he held with famous artist Gisele van der Gracht made him lose his favour with Queen Juliana, who held the authority to appoint and fire mayors. d'Ailly did not attempt to re-enter any political office.
Arnold Jan D'Ailly returned to the financial sector, and became director of the Nationale Handelsbank NV in 1957. He retired completely in 1960.

Frances E. Burns (May 2, 1866 – November 19, 1937) was an American social leader and business woman. She served as Great Commander for Michigan of the Ladies of the Maccabees. She was the first woman executive of an American fraternal congress that was national in its scope.
Early life and education
Frances E. Sanford was born on a farm from Ionia, Michigan, May 2, 1866. Her parents were James Bronson Sanford and Maria Yeomans Sanford (1826-1904). They were American born but both were of English descent. The father had been a merchant in Chicago before moving to the Ionia farm were she was the second youngest child. She had two sisters and seven brothers. The family was comfortably fixed financially.
Until she was seventeen years of age, Burns lived on a farm just outside of Ionia. During those early years she attended district school. She then attended and graduated from the High School of Ionia. She was greatly interested and excelled in English and in English composition. She was fond of home talent theatricals and usually managed to land the role of leading heroine. She also devoted much time and attention to music and singing but a severe attack of diphtheria, when she was eighteen years of age, affected her vocal chords and spoiled her voice for singing. She was a devotee of horse-back riding. She rode bare-back and astride. From this it is evident that her parents were exceedingly liberal minded for their day and time.
Career
After graduatiang from high school, she taught kindergarten in St. Louis, Michigan. While teaching there, she met John H. Burns whom she married in October, 1887. They had two children, Elizabeth (b. 1889) and Robert (b. 1891).
Burns became an endowment member of the Great Hive Ladies of the Maccabees for Michigan on October 17, 1892. She was a delegate to the Great Hive review in 1894. At that time, she was elected Great Lieutenant Commander. At the end of her two-year term, burns was elected Great Commander. Lillian M. Hollister, who had held that office for three years, gave it up in order to accept the office of Supreme Commander of the Supreme Hive. Burns held the office continuously from June 1896.
Burns first appeared as a delegate to the National Fraternal Congress (N.F.C.) in 1896. The Maccabees were then prominent and very active in the Congress. Burns was a quiet observer and a receptive student. She was present as a delegate in 1897, again as a student and observer. The session of 1898 was a repetition of the previous congresses so far as Burns was concerned. At the close of the N.F.C. session of 1898, Burns was appointed a member of the Committee on Constitution and Laws. At the 1899 N.F.C., Burns led the Great Hive delegation. Although Burns was at that time an eloquent and forcible speaker, there is no information to the effect that she took any active part in the discussions; it appears she was still the student-observer. Burns went home from the 1901 N.F.C. fully determined to place her society upon a safe and permanent basis. She fully realized that she must first ascertain what such a basis was. That would take time. She found herself and her society involved in a snarl which had grown out of the differences arising between the Supreme Tent and the Great Camp of Michigan.
At the 1902 N.F.C., Burns was a member of the Committee on Statistics and Good of the Orders; she read a paper entitled "Woman's Work in Connection with Fraternal Beneficiary Orders". At the 1903 session, she served as a member of the Committee on Distribution. At the 1905 session, she participated in the joint meetings of the conference committees and joined in the report submitted to the Congress. At the 1906 session, she served as Chair of the Committee on Conference. She took a fairly active part in the 1908 and 1909 sessions.
Burns was a regular attendant of the N.F.C. for more than 25 years, jissing perhaps only one session in all that time. For several years, she was Secretary of the Presidents' Section, which she helped to organize. Later, she served the Section in the capacity of vice-president andn then of President. In 1915, she was elected vice-president of the Congress by a close vote. She was the first woman ever elected to the office. Following the society's common practice, she should have been elected president the following year, but she was not. In 1920, the American Fraternal Congress was organized. The L.O.T.M. affiliated with it, Burns was elected vice-president, and the next year, she was elected president. Thus, she became the first woman executive of an American fraternal congress that was national in its scope.
She developed not only into one of the stalwart leaders of fraternalism. but also one of the foremost of American business women. In 1896, there were 23,615 benefit members, with insurance in force, plus 7,000 social member. By 1921, there were 45,775 benefit members; with , and 9,688 social members. There is nothing to indicate that Burns had any comprehensive knowledge of the insurance feature of a fraternal beneficiary society when she joined the Great Hive in October, 1892, when she became the Great Lieutenant Commander in 1894, or even when she became Great Commander in 1896. It can be assumed that she was uninformed upon that important side of her society because there were then no fraternal executives who were thoroughly vested in life insurance matters.
Burns and her society were affiliated with half a dozen world movements. She was a member of the Episcopal Church. She was a Democrat and had been a member of the Democratic State Central Committee. She was a member of the League of Women Voters, of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and of the Women's Auxiliary War Board in Michigan. She was vice-president of the Michigan Community Council for two years. She served as vice-president of the National Council of Women, and as Chair of the Finance Committee of the International Council of Women.
In 1921, after a serious illness, she had her tonsils removed, which, at her age, was equivalent to a major operation. While in Washington, D.C., attending the burial of America's Unknown Soldier, she suffered a serious nervous breakdown.
Death and legacy
Frances Burns died at her home in Palmetto hotel, Detroit, Michigan, November 19, 1937; interment was at St. Louis, Michigan.
The Frances E. Burns Maccabee Home for Aged Women, in Alma, Michigan was named in her honor.

The Géologique de Haute-Provence National Nature Reserve (RNN73) is a national nature reserve in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Established in 1984, it covers 269.316 hectares over 18 sites in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Var. Located between the Verdon and Durance rivers, it is a labellised area for its landscape diversity, witness of the geological past of the Earth. It is the largest geological reserve in Europe.
Location
The domain of the nature reserve spreads over 18 sites bearing fossils and outcrops with a cumulated area of 269.316 hectares, over the communes of Barles, Barrême, Chaudon-Norante, Clumanc, Digne-les-Bains, Entrages, Hautes-Duyes, La Javie, La Robine-sur-Galabre, Saint-Lions, Senez and Tartonne.
It is completed by a protection area which regulates fossil collections, spreading over 52 communes in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and 7 in Var.
The total area of the protected area covers more than 2300 km2 and covers the communes of Aiglun, Angles, Archail, Authon, Auzet, Barles, Barras, Barrême, Beaujeu, Beynes, Blieux, Bras-d'Asse, Le Brusquet, Castellane, Le Castellard-Mélan, Le Chaffaut-Saint-Jurson, Champtercier, Châteauredon, Chaudon-Norante, Clumanc, Digne-les-Bains, Draix, Entrages, Estoublon, Hautes-Duyes, La Javie, Lambruisse, Majastres, Mallemoisson, Marcoux, Mézel, Mirabeau, Montclar, Moriez, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, La Palud-sur-Verdon, Prads-Haute-Bléone, La Robine-sur-Galabre, Rougon, Saint-André-les-Alpes, Saint-Geniez, Saint-Jacques, Saint-Julien-d'Asse, Saint-Lions, Selonnet, Senez, Seyne-les-Alpes, Tartonne, Thoard, Verdaches, Vergons et Le Vernet in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Bargème, Brénon, Le Bourguet, Châteauvieux, Comps-sur-Artuby, La Martre and Trigance in Var.
History of the site and reserve
130 millions of years ago, giant ammonites more than one meter wide colonized the ocean that then covered ths area of the Préalpes.
Geologic patrimony
Those fossils can be discovered either in the Musée Promenade at Digne-les-Bains, or in situ in the wrinkled and fractured layers of geological sites.
The most famous site is the Dalle à ammonites, on the RP 900 at 1.5 km north of Digne-les-Bains. With a 60° incline, it bears over 1 500 ammonites, 90% of which belonging to the species Coroniceras multicostatum from the Sinemurian (Early Jurassic). Those ammonites could attain a diameter of 70 cm. Remains of nautilus, belemnites, Pecten and other bivalves can also be seen. The deposit thickness is estimated to be around 20 cm, laid over a 100 000-year period.
The La Robine ichthyosaur, showcased in the Digne museum, lived during the late Toarcian, 185 millions of years ago. This marine reptile was quickly buried, which limited its decomposition. Its conservation is due to paleogeographic conditions favouring the tilting of blocks, caused by the rifting following the opening of the Piemont-Liguria Ocean.
At Castellane, the museum of the Maison Nature et Patrimoine allows to go back 40 millions of years ago. A warm sea covered then this part of the Alpes-de-Hautes-Provence and was populated with marine mammals such as sirenians. Also known as sea cows, as they mostly eat algae and aquatic plants, they gave birth to the antic myth of the mermaids.
Touristic and educational interest
The museum of Castellane, Sisteron and Digne-les-Bains offers marked discovery tours, accessible to anyone.
Administration, management plan, regulations
Once managed by the Association pour la gestion de la réserve géologique de Haute Provence, established in 1984, the nature reserve is now under the gestion of the Departmental Council of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
Reglementations forbid collections and extractions of any fossils. The collection of naturally released fossils is tolerated, but only in limited quantities. It is a UNESCO-labbelized area, affiliated with the Global Geoparks Network, and founding member of the European Geoparks Network.
Tools and legal status
The nature reserve was established under decree of the 31 October 1984.

Transcription of insulin is regulated by the binding of various transcription factors to the ~400 base pairs before the insulin transcription start site, called the "insulin regulatory sequence". This sequence is made up of several distinct regions with different biochemical properties, each of which serve as binding sites for distinct regulatory proteins. First, multiple A/T-rich sequences, called "A elements", each of which contains a "TAAT" reocognized by homeodomain proteins. These regions are primarily bound by PDX-1, but also Cdx2 and Isl-1. Second, two so-called "C elements" – C1 located 107–118 base pairs before the transcription start site; C2 311–317 base pairs before the start site. C1 is bound by RIPE3b1 via MafA. C2 (also called the "pancreatic islet cell enhancer sequence" or "PISCES") is bound by PAX6. Third, an "E element" (two in rodents) with sequence GCCATCTG is 91–100 base pairs before the transcription start site and binds the helix-loop-helix transcription factors NEUROD1. Lastly, several "cyclic AMP response elements" with sequence TGACGTCA that binds CREB.
In humans, a "Z-element" resides 243–292 base pairs before the start site and binds a complex called ZaI, as well as PDX-1 and MafA.

Paul Sandby Munn, (1773 – 1845) was an English water-colour painter.
Paul Sanby Munn, born at Thornton Row, Greenwich, on 8 February 1773, was son of James Munn, carriage decorator and landscape-painter, and Charlotte Mills, his wife. His father was an occasional exhibitor at the Old Society of Painters in Water-colours and at the Society of Artists from 1764 to 1774. Munn was named after his godfather, Paul Sandby, who gave him his first instructions in water-colour painting. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, sending some views in the Isle of Wight, and was subsequently a frequent contributor of topographical drawings to that and other exhibitions. He was elected an associate exhibitor of the Old Society of Painters in Water-colours in 1806, and was for some years a contributor to their exhibitions. He was an intimate friend of John Sell Cotman, and they made several sketching tours together at home and abroad. He drew some of the views in Britton's Beauties of England and Wales.
Munn's drawings are delicately and carefully executed, usually in pale and thin colours, resembling the tinted drawings of the early school of water-colour painting. In 1894 there were examples in the South Kensington Museum and the print room, British Museum. Munn painted little after 1832, when he devoted himself chiefly to music. He married Cecilia, daughter of Captain Timothy Essex, but died without issue at Margate on 17 February 1845.

Pho Oregon, or Phở Oregon, is a Vietnamese restaurant in Portland, Oregon, specializing in pho.
Description
Pho Oregon is a Vietnamese restaurant in northeast Portland's Madison South neighborhood. In 2018, Patricia Sauthoff of Willamette Week said, "Pho Oregon's huge dining room is filled with the taste of broth. The menu is also thick with traditional Vietnamese dishes, like com bo kho, a fatty, succulent beef in a broth with salt-and-pepper rice." In 2020, Eater Portland Krista Garcia wrote, "This banquet-ready institution is a well-oiled machine. From tai (flank steak only) to the dac biet (multiple cuts of beef, plus meatballs, tendon, and tripe), the menu has more than 20 different variations of pho to choose from. All bowls of pho, fragrant with star anise and clove, come out of the kitchen quicker than seems humanly possible." Portland Monthly has described the restaurant's specialty, dac biet, as "a mighty bowl of the requisite rice noodles accompanied by slices of round steak, flank steak, fatty brisket, tendon, tripe, and beef meatballs". The restaurant also serves bánh mì, bún, Vietnamese coffee, chanh muối (salted lemonade), and sinh to bo (avocado smoothie).

Pho Oregon opened in 2003. In 2021, the restaurant participated in Around the World in 82 Dishes, organized by the 82nd Avenue Business District.
Reception
Portland Monthly has said the banh mi and bún "deserve a taste, but newcomers display a serious lapse in judgment by not ordering the pho at this tiny, unadorned joint". In 2017, Samantha Bakall and Michael Russell included Pho Oregon in two of The Oregonian lists of Portland's best pho, writing, "Pho Oregon is cavernous and often packed, giving off the vibe of a big-city pho house, and it's our regular go-to on weekend mornings. We knew the pho was good, so it made sense to use it as a baseline, and it didn't disappoint, with nicely cooked noodles, well-rendered brisket and a rustic-yet-elegant broth, with a strong hint of clove and lots of caramel flavor from the beef bones." In 2018, Willamette Week Patricia Sauthoff recommended the com bo kho and said the restaurant's pho "is some of the best in town, long popular with the Portland foodie crowd". In Eater Portland 2021 "guide to dining in Portland", Brooke Jackson-Glidden called Pho Oregon a "true Portland institution". Nick Woo and Krista Garcia included Pho Oregon in the website's 2021 overview of "Portland's Mind-Blowing Vietnamese Restaurants and Food Carts".

In the fabliaux, bacon is one of the most commonly consumed foodstuffs, alongside capons and geese, cakes, bread, and wine.
Du provost a l'aumuche
In some tales, bacon, and similarly pork and lard, are associated with corrupt clergymen, as symbolisms for gluttony, greed, and lust. For example, in Du provost d l'aumuche a provost hides some bacon that he has stolen from a feast prepared for his master under his hat (the "aumuche" of the title, a large fur hat) but is caught and beaten after the bacon fat, melted by a nearby fire, starts to drop down his head.
This parallels Galbert of Bruges's tale of the Murder of Charles the Good.
Du provost a l'aumuche is 132 lines long, and tells the tale of a rich knight who having left his provost, a "low fellow and a rascal" named Gervais, in charge when he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, returns home and sends word ahead to the provost to have a feast prepared. The provost arrives at the feast early, and spying a piece of salt pork in a shared dish, steals it and hides it in his aumuche while the person with whom he is sharing the dish has his back turned to talk to someone else. Placing the aumuche on his head, all is well until a fire behind him is stoked by a servant, at which point the fat melts and begins dripping down him. The theft is discovered when a server, inconvenienced by the hat, removes it from the provost's head, whereupon the pork falls out, the provost tries to escape from the feast, but he is caught, violently beaten, and then thrown out.
Several items are parallel to Galbert's tale, which likewise features a provost named Bertulf with an aumuche, such as the name "Erembaut Brache-huche" the fabliau provost's father, the high status and high regard of their masters, the masters both going on pilgrimages, and the provosts being motivated by greed for food (fabliau) or for power (Murder). A final parallel is the fates of both provosts, Gervais being violently punished as aforementioned, and Bertulf stripped, dragged around, pelted with mud and stones, and then hanged naked at Ypres, where he was assaulted by a mob with hooks and clubs. Gervais is pelted with hot coals by cooks, assaulted by the crowd of servants at the feast, dragged him outside, and threw him in a ditch with a dead dog, which parallels the Mediaeval practice of hanging with dogs.
De Haimet et de Barat et Travers
In De Haimet et de Barat et Travers, two thieves, the epoynmous brothers Haimet and Barat, and a peasant farcically steal and steal back, repeatedly, a piece of bacon.
The peasant Travers is warned by his wife that she believes misfortune is coming their way, and hides a piece of bacon that he knows the brother thieves (who in the prologue to the tale have had a thieving competition, Haimet stealing the eggs out of a bird's nest in a tree and Barat stealing his trousers from him whilst he is doing it) have their eyes upon. Nonetheless, the brothers manage to steal the bacon, but while they are cooking it on a fire in the forest, Travers steals it back, scaring them away by pretending to be a ghost. The tale then proceeds to recount the bacon being stolen back and forth between the two parties.
In this fabliau, the word "bacon" denotes pork products in a general fashion, just as colloquially in Modern French "cochon" can denote both the animal per se and "a bit of pig", its preserved meat.
Priests instead of stolen bacon
In two tales of circulating bodies, Du Segretain Moine and Du Prestre qu'on porte, dead priests end up substituted for stolen bacon.
In the first, the body of a priest killed by a watchful husband is hidden in the latrine of a monastery, dutifully returned by the prior, hidden again by the husband this time in a farmer's manure pile in a sack used by thieves for stolen bacon, retrieved by the thieves thinking that it is their bacon, returned by them to where they stole the bacon from, and finally strapped to a horse and sent to the monastery by the bacon's original owner, a farmer named Thibault.
The horse, which stumbles on its way to the monastery, finally gets the blame for the priest's death.
In the second, the body circulates from the doorstep of a neighbour, to a horse, to the house of a peasant, to a sack, and into the hands of thieves who have stolen some bacon.
Thieves place it where the bacon was, from where it is removed by a tavernkeeper, put in the linen chest of a bishop, and thence placed in the bishop's bed whilst he is asleep by a prior.
In fright when he awakes to find it there, the bishop strikes the body, and assuming that he killed the priest quietly finally buries the body.
Figurative bacon
In Le Meunier et les ii Clers "bacon" figuratively means a young woman in a sexual sense, as one of the characters encourages his companion to take his "share" of a young woman that he has just himself had sex with.
This is a sense for the word that Geoffrey Chaucer, who would have been familiar with the usage (not least because Le Meunier et les ii Clers is a clear precursor of his Reeve's Tale), also uses in his Wife of Bath's Tale.

The Belfast and County Down (BCDR) were a class of four coupled tank locomotives build by Beyer, Peacock and Company in 1920. Generally reliable and well-likely but with mediocre performance they were to spend their lives on the Belfast to until withdrawal in the early 1950s. There were the only example of wheel arrangement to work in Ireland apart from two examples on the narrow gauge.
History
At the end of the First World War the BCDR directories decided they would like some more powerful locomotives, and were impressed by the LB&SCR L class "Brighton Baltics" on the London to Brighton line, and Petterson considered a requirement to procure a similar type imposed upon locomotive superintendent R. G. Miller. When the locomotives arrived in 1920 from Beyer Peacock they were inherited by Miller's successor Crossthwait. The BCDR locomotives had smaller dimensions: 19x26in cylinders as opposed to 21x28in; driving wheels 5 ft 9 in as opposed to 6 ft 9 in. At oven 81 tons the locomotives were noted for being very heavy. They were the only locomotives of the in Ireland apart from two on the narrow gauge Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway.
Allocated the numbers 22 to 25 they were to be allocated to heavy commuter trains on the to Bangor line. In service the class was reliable but performance was mediocre and coal consumption was very high. Boocock has described them as "handsome" and "well-liked" and suggests the problem may have been due to short-travel piston valves rather than drafting.
The BCDR was absorbed into the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA) on 3 September 1948, the class being renumbered 222 to 225. Class WT were transferred to the Bangor line from summer 1949 and their performance was substantially better, and they began to replace the BCDR engines, with UTA MED diesel railcars, the Bangor line losing all steam working by 1953. Only one worked past 1952, No. 222 surviving on the former Northern Counties Committee network with the remainder lying withdrawn at sidings. All were disposed for scrap in 1956.

Richard Goodisson (c. 1750 – 1817) was an English classic-winning jockey and trainer, who won the first three runnings of the Oaks Stakes between 1779 and 1781.
Career
Born in Selby, Goodisson moved south to Newmarket, Suffolk, like fellow Yorkshire jockey John Shepherd, to further his career and seek better money. There, he gained the attention of the Duke of Queensberry, for whom he would ride and train until the Duke's retirement from racing interests in 1806. The partnership was only interrupted by a three-week disagreement, during which the Duke, having booked Goodisson to ride his horse, opted at the last minute to ride him himself. When the Duke died in 1810, he left Goodisson £2,000.
Goodisson's most notable victory was the first Oaks Stakes for Lord Derby, after whose residence the race was named, in 1779 on the bay filly Bridget at odds of 5/2. He then won the two following runningson Tetotum in 1780 and on Lord Grosvenor's filly Faith in 1781.
He shared an intense rivalry with fellow jockey Sam Chifney. After one particularly rough race, the two became involved in a brawl, during which they both ended up using their whips on the other. A formal boxing match was arranged to settle the affair. It took place for a stake of 25 guineas on New Year's Day 1799 inside a roped ring in a room in the Duke of Queensberry's house. The fight lasted over an hour, with the stamina of Goodissonthe heavier and stronger manwinning out over Chifney, the cleverer boxer. Following the fight, they became and remained friends for the rest of their careers.
Style and reputation
Goodisson was said to have had a "flash of lightning style at the post" , as well as being "unsubtle but effective".
He gained the nickname 'Hellfire Dick' because of his use of profanity and was also known for his unkempt appearance, developing a reputation as "the most slovenly jockey in Newmarket". He was known to carry around £500 in cash in his pocket, a legacy of having once missed out on a successful bet for that amount because he had not had the money.
Personal life
Goodisson married Jane Bentley with whom he had four sonsWilliam, John, Thomas and Charlesand two daughters, Catherine and Ann. The latter two sons became jockeys like their father. Tom won the Derby four times, though Charles predeceased his father, dying in 1813 at the age of 27. Goodisson died on 9 September 1817 in Newmarket.

The Olofin Adimula Oodua of Ado-Odo is the Traditional Ruler and Yoruba king of Ado-Odo; he is also referred to as the Oba of Ado. Ado-Odo is the metropolitan headquarters of the Ado Kingdom in Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria.
The Oba of Ado is a permanent member of the Ogun State Council of Obas and presently ranks next in rank to the Paramount Ruler in Yewa Traditional Council. The Olofin Adimula Oodua equally enjoys special first-class status culminating in the front row seating arrangement he enjoys next to the current four Paramount Rulers in the Ogun State Council of Obas and the Chairman of Ado-Odo/Ota Traditional Council or Obas Council.
The stool is presently vacant after the demise of His Imperial Majesty, Late Oba Abdul-Lateef Adeniran Akanni Ojikutujoye I who joined his ancestors on 7 January 2022. He reigned from 2 May 2009 till his death.
The Oba of Ado during the reign of Oba Ogabi Akapo served as the Vice President Western House of Chiefs and later Permanent Chairman, Ogun State Council of Obas for Egbado Traditional Council following the creation of Ogun state in 1976 and held the office for years until his demise in 1989.
Ruling Houses
Following the approved Chieftaincy Declaration according to the Western Regional Government official gazette in the 1950s, the four (4) Ruling Houses that are entitled to the throne are as follows;
Idose Ruling House
Idobarun Ruling House ( The Ruling House that produced the reigning Olofin).
Okewaye
Igboro
These are families who are entitled to the ancestral stool of the Olofin Adimula Oodua of Ado-odo Kingdom. The Kingmakers, after due consultation, appoint who is next in succession to the mantle of leadership as an oba in this ancient and the foremost Awori Kingdom. The first Olofin Adimula Oodua was installed in 1050, which was about five years after the Town was founded.
History
Oba Asade Awope, Olofin Otenibotemole had the singular honour of reigning over Ado and Erekiti kingdoms which was a rare feat in pre-colonial time. His successful defense at the Lagos legislative house after the harassment by the British for unsubstantiated allegations qualified him as a hero of early Nigerian nationalism. In the Gazette No. 9 of 1903 enacted on 28 February 1903, Oba of Ado was listed as one of the twenty-two beaded crowns of Yoruba land (first gazette).
In 1863, Oba Adebami Agbojojoye signed a Treaty annexing Ado Kingdom to the British Empire. In the Berlin Conference of 1884 to 1885, Ado Kingdom was a major issue during the scramble and partition of Africa between the British, Germans, Italians, and the French.
The annual conference of chiefs of western provinces was introduced in 1937, Oba Adeteru Iso, Olofin Arolagbade attended the conference held in Ijebu-Ode in 1941 with the Alake of Egbaland to represent Abeokuta province.
Excerpts of the colonial report of 1940s has it that "it is doubtful whether there is in all Ilaro division, a true Oba who received his crown from Ife. Ado appears to have always had a head and he was known as an Oba before the advent of British rule." The Obaship institution in Ado has its root from Ife.
Additionally, Oba Jacob Ogabi Adebowale Fadeyi Akapo, Olofin Agunloye was a member and Vice President of the Western Region House of Chiefs from 1956 to 1966. Following the military takeover in January, 1966, (1966 Nigerian coup d'etat) all political activities were suspended. This left all local government affairs in the hands of traditional rulers with Oba Akapo being the arrowhead for Ado-Odo/Igbesa district council and the defunct Ilaro division of Western State.
Ado-Odo Kingmakers
Principally, four groups constitute the core indigenous people of Ado presently identified as the Awori indigenes of Ado-Odo. They occupy the two components of Osì and Ogona, which were sub-divided to the four quarters of Oke-Osi, Odo-Osi, Odojana, and Okejana. These quarters form the basis of cultural interaction, land ownership, and the Chieftaincy institution in Ado Kingdom.
Following the approved Chieftaincy Declaration according to the Western Regional Government official gazette in the 1950s, the kingmakers and members of Oba-in-Council for Ado-Odo are the following:
Chief Osolo of Ado
Chief Bajomu of Ado
Chief Aro of Ado
Chief Ira of Ado
Chief Oga-Ilu Odo-Ijana, Ado (Head of Oga Ilus)
Chief Oga-Ilu Oke-Osi, Ado
Chief Oga-Ilu Oke-Ijana, Ado
Chief Oga-Ilu Odo-Osi, Ado
Each of these Quarters constitutes the traditional chiefs, who are kingmakers and assigned to perform specific roles in the Town. Bajomu, Osolo, Ira, Aro are the head of fore core indigenous Awori Quarters and also the custodians of the shrines in their quarters. These four kingmakers are traditionally empowered to elect the king (Oba) for the Town.

The Cork Premier Junior Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Co-Op Superstores Cork Premier Junior Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Cork PJHC) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the top-ranking junior clubs in the county of Cork in Ireland. It is the fifth tier overall in the entire Cork hurling championship system.
The Cork Premier Junior Championship was introduced in 2022 following a restructuring of the various intermediate and junior championships.
In its current format, the Cork Premier Junior Championship begins in mid-summer. The 12 participating club teams are into three groups of four teams and play each other in a round-robin system. The three group winners and the three runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at Páirc Uí Rinn. The winner of the Cork Premier Junior Championship qualifies for the subsequent Munster Club Championship.
History
In March 2019, Cork County Board delegates voted on the restructuring of the entire Cork hurling championship system following an extensive review process. The plan hoped to reduce the number of teams in the top four tiers to 48, a move which required a restructuring of the intermediate and junior grades. The result was the creation of the Cork Lower Intermediate Hurling Championship, a two-year temporary championship which would result in several teams being regraded to Junior and the championship being eventually discontinued. In February 2022, the County Board took a further vote on the future of the club junior and intermediate championships. Delegates voted in favour of Option B which saw the Lower Intermediate Championship being rebranded as the Premier Junior Championship.
Format
Group stage
The 12 teams are divided into three groups of four. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed at least three games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top two teams in each group qualify for the knockout stage.
Knockout stage
Quarter-finals: Two lone quarter-finals featuring the four lowest-placed qualifying teams from the group stage. Two teams qualify for the next round.
Semi-finals: The two quarter-final winners and the top two highest-placed qualifying teams from the group stage contest this round. The two winners from these games advance to the final.
Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.
Promotion and relegation
At the end of the championship, the winning team was automatically promoted to the Cork Intermediate A Championship for the following season. The two worst-ranked teams from the group stage took part in a playoff, with the losing team being relegated to the Cork Junior A Championship.
Sponsorship
Co-Op Superstores were unveiled as the title sponsor for all of Cork GAA's hurling championships in July 2020.
Qualification for subsequent competitions
The Cork Premier Junior Championship winners qualify for the subsequent Munster Junior Club Hurling Championship.

Toshavim (, "residents") is a generic reference to non-Sephardic Jews who inhabited lands in which the Jews expelled from Spain in 15th century settled ("Megorashim", "expellees"). The indigenous Jews in the area of North Africa known as Maghreb are also referred to as Maghrebim (Maghrebi Jews). In particular, the term "Toshavim" was applied to the indigenous Jews of Morocco.
Toshavim had their own minhagim (Judaic traditions) and they spoke Judeo-Arabic of Judeo-Berber dialects.
The new arrivals did not always deal well with the local Jews. For example, in Algiers they called the local Jews derisively "turban-wearers" and vice versa, the Spanish Jews were called "beret-wearers".
Despite the fact that Toshavim were apparently overwhelmed an absorbed by Sephardic immigrants, the differences in many areas of communal lives of Tsohavim and Megorashim persisted for very long time: separate negidim, separate synagogues, separate teachers, separate cemeteries, etc. For example, in Fez, Morocco, the common minhag for (most of) the two communities was accepted only in 18th century.

Ptolemaeus son of Glaucias (, fl. 2nd century B.C) was a katochos (an unclear word roughly translatable as hermit) who lived in the Temple of Astarte in the Serapeum in Memphis, Egypt for 20 years. Many details about his life and associates, such as his younger brother Apollonios, are known thanks to the survival of an extensive archive of papyri belonging to the katochoi of the temple.
Katoche
Ptolemaeus was born in approximately 200 BC. He was the eldest of four sons of a certain Glaucias, a Macedonian lot-holder at the village of Psichis in the Heracleopolite nome. Around 172, he began a period of twenty years as a katochos of the Temple of Astarte. The meaning of katochos is unclear, but it entailed a strict restriction against leaving the temple. In the summer of 158, Ptolemaeus was joined by his adolescent brother Apollonios, who learned to read and write before joining the Ptolemaic army and later becoming a police informant.
Ptolemaeus had custody of three Egyptian girls who lived in asylia in the temple: the twins Thages and Thaous and their probable sister Tathemis. According to Ptolemaeus, their mother and her Greek lover had sought to kill the twins' father, a friend of Ptolemaeus. Their father died soon afterwards and their mother took possession of his property, forcing the twins to flee to the temple. There they performed the sacred funerary rites of the Apis bull, for which a pair of twins was conveniently needed to play the roles of Isis and Nephthys. Due to his katoche, Ptolemaeus relied on an Egyptian agent, Harmais, and two therapeutae, Diphilos and Nikanor, who were able to leave the temple area unlike the katochoi.
Ptolemaeus wrote numerous petitions to various officials during his katoche, including Ptolemy VI Philometor and Cleopatra II. He often appealed to the strategos of his nome, Dionysios, about injustices and crimes committed against him, including an occasion on which he claimed to have been nearly murdered by a mob for being a Greek. He also recorded his dreams and those of the twins, which were regarded as having prophetic significance.

Zuhal Atmar is an Afghan entrepreneur and environmentalist. She is noted for her pioneering work as the first woman who owned and ran a recycling plant in Afghanistan. Atmar is also a researcher and an economic affairs analyst.
Biography
Atmar was born in Afghanistan. An account cited that she was a refugee in Pakistan, where she completed her education. She came back to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban. She started her career as a researcher. During her work for the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit, she was involved in promoting women's education, community voice, equal opportunities, and access to livelihood.
Activism
Atmar's environmental work began with a personal desire to help address climate change. She established a recycling plant to contribute in mitigating the pollution rate in Kabul. In an interview, she cited the problem of the one-time use of plastic as a contributor to the 308 tons of garbage generated in Kabul daily. This facility called Gul-Mursal Waste Paper Recycling Factory processed 33 tons of garbage per week.
Her pioneering work at the recycling facility exposed Atmar to gender discrimination and harassment. She stated that it was difficult to set up her company because women in Afghanistan do not have access to loans because they fail to complete requirements such as guarantor, business partner, and collateral. She was able to operate her company after securing a $100,000 loan from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Atmar also struggled with patriarchy. She claimed to have been harassed by male competitors. In a report Atmar stated that “there’s a lot of judgment and many people are bothered by me running my own business.”
Atmar was included in BBC's list of 100 influential and inspiring women for 2021.

It was reorganized on 1 July 1947 by joining the Ural State Technical University named after S. M. Kirov (since 2009 - Ural Federal University).
History
On 24 July 1944, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR No. 884 and the order of the People's Commissariat of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR No. 342, the Nizhny Tagil Institute of Technology was established to train engineering and technical personnel. E. K. Vyatkin was appointed the first rector of the institute. The institute was allocated three buildings on Uralskaya Street in Nizhny Tagil. The structure of the institute included twenty-five general institute departments and three faculties: mechanical, mining and metallurgical and evening. In 1944, the first hundred students were admitted to the first year of the institute, students from the Bezhitsk Mechanical Engineering Institute and the Kryvyi Rih National University evacuated to the rear of the country were enrolled in the senior courses of the institute. In the early years, due to a shortage of full-time teaching staff, lectures were given to students by invited teachers from other higher educational institutions, among the invited lecturers was Professor Boris Rauschenbach.
In 1946, the institute graduated the first thirteen people from the evening department as engineers with a degree in mechanical engineering technology. On 1 July 1947, by order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the USSR, the Nizhny Tagil Institute of Technology was reorganized and merged with the Ural Polytechnic Institute named after S. M. Kirov as the Nizhny Tagil Correspondence Department. In 1947, five hundred and thirty-seven students studied at the institute, who mastered nine specialties; the institute staff consisted of about one hundred teachers. On 15 September 1950, by order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the USSR, the Nizhny Tagil Correspondence Department was transformed into the Nizhny Tagil Evening Department, consisting of two faculties: ferrous metallurgy and engineering technology. On 21 July 1953, by order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the USSR, on the basis of the Nizhny Tagil Correspondence Department, the Nizhny Tagil Faculty of Correspondence and Evening Education was established, in which training was conducted in ten engineering and technical specialties. In 1956, the first forty-four engineers graduated from the faculty. In 1969, a preparatory department was opened as part of the faculty.

M. Kirov, the structure of the branch included evening and day departments, classes were conducted in two specialties: “Processing metals by pressure” and “Technology of special engineering”. The full-time professorial and pedagogical staff consisted of sixty-four teachers. The total number of students reached 1385 people, of which: 1360 in the evening and 25 in the daytime departments. On 6 June 1974, as part of the Nizhny Tagil branch, the Nizhny Tagil Daytime Faculty of Mechanics and Technology was established, which trains engineers in four specialties: "Equipment and technology of welding production", "Production of buildings", "Industrial and civil engineering" and "Metal forming". In 1976, the first graduation of this faculty of engineering and technical personnel took place in the amount of forty-seven people. In 1984, the structure of the Nizhny Tagil branch was created two departments: evening and day, three faculties: mechanical engineering, power engineering and mechanical engineering and seven departments consisting of one hundred and twenty teachers. In 1994, a military department was created in the structure of the branch, for the training of officers.
On 4 January 1996, by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation and the order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education No. 25, the Nizhny Tagil Institute of USTU-UPI was established on the basis of the Nizhny Tagil branch. On May 12, 2000, by order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the Nizhny Tagil Institute was renamed the Nizhny Tagil Institute of Technology. Nineteen general institute departments were created in the structure of the institute, in 2003 the Nizhny Tagil Machine-Building College was included in the institute as a faculty of secondary vocational education. The total number of students studying at the institute is 5000 people. The teaching staff of the institute includes two hundred and fifty teachers, of which 13 people have the degree of doctor of science, 57 Candidate of Sciences, 25 docent, and 10 professors.

Clement Hall, (1706–1759) was an Anglican missionary and author of numerous religious works. He emigrated to the British colony of North Carolina where he continued in his religious and spiritual writings. He was the author of the first privately written book printed in the Colony of North Carolina. Hall's son, Clement, fought in the American Revolutionary War.
Early life and family
Clement Hall was born in 1706 in Warwickshire, England. Historians assume that he lived near Coventry where other members of his immediate family lived. On May 29, 1706, Hall was baptized at Saint Mary's Church, in Warwick. He received his basic education in Warwick's public school. In 1731, Hall and his brother Robert emigrated to the Province of North Carolina where they established their residence in Perquimans County, North Carolina. Hall married Frances Foster in the summer of 1742. She was the daughter of Francis Foster who served in the colonial government since 1689. Hall's mother either emigrated with him or arrived soon afterwards. She died in Edenton on February 8, 1752, at age 73, and was interred in the grave yard at Saint Paul's Church. Hall's son, also named Clement, fought in the American Revolutionary War in the Continental Army and later corresponded with George Washington on several occasions.
Colonial life
In 1731 Hall purchased a 104-acre plantation on the northeastern side of Perquimans River. He was appointed a justice of the Perquimans County Court in 1739. Clement Hall's pursued to be seek ordination as a missionary in the Church of England in the summer of 1743. Several reputable men in the colony regarded Hall as a true Christian and his qualities as a missionary and testified to his "Honour, Diligence and Integrity". Hall spent much time riding alone on horseback about the countryside where he came up with ideas for a religious work he authored, entitled, A Collection of Many Christian Experiences, and Several Places of Scripture. His work was printed, by James Davis, which became historically noted as the first non-legal book published in North Carolina. The only known copy of the book is in the Rare Book Collection, Duke University Library, Durham, North Carolina. Clement's work was reprinted at Raleigh, State Department of Archives and History, 1961.
