Freedom & Unity is an album by valve trombonist Clifford Thornton. It was recorded in July 1967 at Sound City Studios in New York City, and was released by Third World Records in 1969. On the album, Thornton is joined by members of the Clifford Thornton New Art Ensemble: saxophonist Sonny King, trumpeter Joe McPhee, cornetist Edward Avent, vibraphonist Karl Berger, bassists Don Moore, Jimmy Garrison, and Tyrone Crabb, and drummer Harold (Nunding) Avent.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Rob Ferrier wrote: "For those who don't know better, the free jazz movement is considered a sharp break with the past heritage of the music. That really wasn't the case. As Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp hearkened back to field hollers and very basic folk forms, musicians like Clifford Thornton went in the opposite direction, building on the music of the sophisticates and expanding the possibilities for jazz. Listening to music with this much space in it, it might be hard for some listeners to hear the Mingus. But it's there. And because that's there, Ellington is here in heaping handfuls as well. Sure this stuff is rough in spots. But the myriad of tones this man uses to express himself keeps things interesting and alive... For those with open ears -- and minds."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented: "Freedom & Unity was apparently recorded the day after John Coltrane’s funeral. If that was the point where Albert Ayler took up the mantle and set about restoring the relationship between avant-garde jazz, R&B and older, more primitive forms, then Clifford Thornton seemed anxious to go in the other direction and create a body of music that draws on highly sophisticated forms and ideas... Thompson's fleet, almost sinuous trombone style was like nothing else at the time."
Writing for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto stated: "Freedom & Unity... is a natural extension of the music of Ornette Coleman... Thornton, who rehearsed across the hall from Ornette's trio, certainly was listening. His piano-less quintet and extended New Art Ensemble pursue Coleman's breakthroughs in melody and rhythm with different instrumentation... This document of significant music calls for further exploration of the ever-neglected free jazz past."

The Berezil Theatre was an avant-garde Soviet Ukrainian theater troupe founded by Les Kurbas. It lasted from 1922 to 1933. Its original home was in Kiev, but in 1926 it moved to Kharkiv. Also known as Artistic Organization Berezil’, the company included several studios, a journal, museum, and theater school. In 1927, Kurbas and the Berezil began collaborating closely with Ukrainian playwright Mykola Kulish. After the production of Kulish's last play, Maklena Grasa, Kurbas was sent into exile by the Ministry of Education. The theater was then renamed the Taras Shevchenko Theater by the government.

The Ngorora Formation is a geological formation in Kenya preserving fossils dating to the Miocene. The uppermost member of the formation shows sign of a faunal turnover that occurred around 11 to 10.5 million years ago, coinciding with faunal changes elsewhere in the world. This turnover includes the arrival of the horse Hipparion in East Africa. The Ngorora Formation was initially mapped by G.R. Chapman in collaboration with the East African Geological Research Unit (EAGRU) and formally described by Bishop & Chapman in 1970. Major fossil finds were made in the early 1970s, with expeditions to the area recovering thousands of mammal, fish and mollusc remains alongside less common fossil material of birds and reptiles.
Geography
The formation is bordered to the west by the Elgeyo Escarpment, the east by the Laikipia Plateau and to the north by the Tiati volcanic center. To the south the formation is limited by the rising floor of the rift. During its deposition the formation contained two prominent upland areas, the topographic high of the Saimo Horst and Sidekh towards the north east, separated from the Saimo Horst by 8 km of lowland. The formation is roughly separated into four areas. Area I, the Kabarsero Type Area, split into Area Ia and Area Ib by the Kito Pass Fault; Area II west of the Cherial Fault, which includes the Tugen Hills, Kapkiamu Graben and Kaption Volcanic Complex; and Area III just south of the Saimo Horst.
Geology and Stratigraphy
The basin the Ngorora Formation was deposited in is floored by the rocks of the underlying Tiim Formation and has seen repeated tectonic and volcanic activity around and during its deposition.
Member A
Member A is a thick layer that consists of volcaniclastic material and clay in Area I of the region. The coarse volcanic sediments likely originated from the possibly reached this part of the formation in the form of lahars originating from the Kaption Volcanic Complex to the south-west.
Member B
Member B shows a mix of gritty tuff beds, clay and silt. The lapilli tuff in Area I possibly correlates with similar lithology of Area II and on the upthrow of the Kito Pass Fault the layers of clay and silt found in the type area of the Member are absent, leaving sandy and gritty layers of tuff to lie directly over one another.
Member C
The layers of Member C are closely overlying each other and consist of clay and shale with some sand in Area Ia, while Area Ib slight errosion and channeling can be observed. The shale originated almost entirely through chemical precipitation while the clay likely originated through the errosion of the underlying Tiim Formation.
Member D
Member D shows a mix of clay layers cross-bedded with gritty and silty tuffs. Slumps, fissures and faults indicate increased tectonic activity affecting the area during it's time of deposition. Area III preserves a mix of red marbled earth and silt which may be equivalent to Member D. Following major faulting at Cheprimok, 130 meters of sediment of this member erroded in the Ngorora Formation, causing Member E to rest unconformably atop of Member A and even overstepping onto the Tiim Formation. This faulting event was whidespread and even affected Area II 20 kilometers away.
Member E
Another faulting event preceeded the deposition of Member E, marking the return of lacustrine conditions as evident by kieselgur (sediments originating from algea) and fish-bearing shales. However tectonic uplift of the Kito Pass and Saimo Faults caused much of the record of this member to be lost to errosion.
During the deposition of the Ngorora Formation the area shows several signs of volcanic activity. The Kaption Volcano in Area II is likely responsible for much of the lahar and tuff found in Area I. The Laikipia Area and Tiati Volcanic Center likewise contributed to the volcanic material of the formation.
Paleoenvironment
The Ngorora Formation shows a great variety of environments and conditions throughout its stratigraphy. Mudcracks, Caliche, plant remains, bird footprints, channeling, signs of evaporation as well as various algea-based sediments all show signs of varying dry and wet conditions during the Miocene.
Member A preserves the bones of proboscideans and rhinos as well as the remains of reptiles and fish and represents an originally lacustrine environment with minor fluvial elements, all affected by lahas and other volcanic activity.
During the deposition of Member B Kaption Volcano was still active at irregular intervals. Member B shows signs of channeling caused by flowing water and flourishing plant growth (evidenced by root casts). At Kalimale weathering and plant growth were so extreme that all of the lapilli in a 45 cm thick layer was destroyed. The fauna of the member is of little use however, as the presence of channels means that animal material was likely derived from various localities over a great distance. Ruminant remains however have been used to derive an open or lightly wooded grassland habitat.
After increased volcanic and tectonic activity at the beginning of Member C's deposition, three lakes formed in various regions of the formation. At least Kabarsero Lake in Area Ia was freshwater, evidence of which can be found in the presence of diatomes and freshwater crabs. Kapkiamu Lake meanwhile was likely alkaline and inhabited by stunted species of the genus Tilapia. Similar conditions can be observed in the modern-day Lake Magadi, home to Alcolapia grahami. The rhythmic nature of the shale and clay deposits of Member C indicate seasonally fluctuating climate conditions, further supported by the growth rings of fossil wood. The two lakes were separated by 8 kilometers, which is not unusual given similar occurrences of freshwater and alkaline lakes in the modern day Rift Valley. The area between the lakes was covered by vigorously growing plant life, which lead to the creation of paleosol. The third lake west of Kaption Volcano was also freshwater.
Member D shows increased channeling indicative of rejuvenation through freshwater, which suggests a return of fluvial conditions as present in Member B. Also like in Member B, ruminants are used to infer an open or lightly wooded grassland environment in Area Ia. In Area Ib, ostracods, fish and crabs are all found in marginal lacustrine deposits at Kalimale. This lake underwent varying waterlevels and frequently dried up.
One particular locality within the lower members (12.6 Ma) of the Ngorora Formation is interpreted to have been a submontaine to lowland rainforest environment preserved by the ash from a local volcanic eruption. The presence of mostly microphyllous (small sized, single veined) leaves and only one leptophyllous (long, slender) leaf indicate a moist to wet environment for the preserved forest habitat. Of the preserved plant fossils, 15% can be classified as herbs, 5% as herbs or shrubs, 12% lianas and 62% as shrubs or trees. Some bias towards herbaceous plants is present due to the preservation through ashfall and the preserved leaves of shrubs and trees are consistent with leaffall that occurs in forests. The locality shows no signs of a present leaflitter, either due to decomposition following ashfall or due to the rapid decay of plant material in tropical, wet forest environments (in particular during the wet season, prior to increased leaf fall with the onset of the dry season).

Harald Sohlman, (born January 24, 1868, in the Court parish, Stockholm, died on May 1, 1927, in Kungsholms parish, Stockholm), was a Swedish publisher.
Newspaperman
He was the son of the editor August Sohlman and Hulda Sandeberg. Sohlman attended the school Bekowska skolan and graduated in 1877 in Stockholm after his matriculation exam and began his studies in Uppsala. In 1886, he got his Bachelor of Law degree at Uppsala university. There, he became known as a liberal, for example by being one of the founders of the fraternity Verdandi. In 1886 he was acting notary at Stockholm's municipal court and in 1889 at Svea hovrätt. Between 1889 and 1890, he gave lectures on law at Stockholm workers' association.
In 1886, Sohlman started working at Aftonbladet. He had two family ties to the paper: first, he was the son of the previous editor, secondly, he was first cousin once removed from the head of the board for Aftonbladet, J.W. Smitt. When he began working as editor in chief, the paper's circulation was 13,000. He was the paper's editor in chief between 1890 and 1921 as well as director of publication; between 1896 and 1912 he was also the editor in chief for Dagen (1896-1920). In 1907, the ownership of Aftonbladet transitioned from the married couple Gustaf Retzius and Anna Hierta-Retzius to the brothers Harald and Arvid Sohlman. Harald promised Retzius that he would work for the good of the motherland and against socialism. From 1907, he was chairman of the Swedish telegraph agency; he was also chairman of the Publicists' club (Swedish: Publicistklubben) for many years.
He turned Aftonbladet into one of the biggest liberal papers during the tail end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century. Between 1892 and 1905, he was the chairman of the Association against food tariffs. (During the tariff disputes, he was a fierce opponent to the protectionists.) Aftonbladet was seen as a political body for the Staaff administration's first term (1905 to 1906). Because of his passionate interest in the issue of defense, and his dislike of socialism, he eventually drifted to the right on the political spectrum. Because of his hostile attitude towards Norway's ambitions for independence, he was never invited to join the Left-wing press association. In particular, the leadership of Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet exchanged strong words. On the other hand, social democratic editors were not invited either. After the union crisis, the paper became increasingly nationalistic with Sohlman as editor in chief. He was a proponent of a proportional electoral system, while majority voting in single mandate constituencies was the official party line for the liberal party leadership. After the return of Staaff in 1911, affected by the political controversies from the spring of 1914, he left the National liberal association and supported the right from then on.
Harald Sohlman was the chairman of the Stockholm shooting federation between 1907 and 1916 and vice chairman of Stockholm's militia federation between 1912 and 1926. In 1912, he initiated the Nordic capital cities' shooting competitions.
In 1915, during the first world war, he and his brother Arvid Sohlman sold the paper to the Germans in order to allow them to spread German propaganda in Sweden. The Sohlman brothers pledged their stocks in exchange for a large sum of money. The deal was long kept secret. K.A. Wallenberg and Torvald Höjer, head of the foreign ministry's press agency, contacted Sohlman among others with criticism that blamed Russia and the tsar for starting the war. During Sohlman's time at the paper, it was also a body for pro-Finnish forces as of the Russification of Finland. He was awarded the second grade Freedom cross in 1918. In 1921, Aftonbladet and Dagen returned to Swedish ownership.
As of 1917, he was married to Magda Leidesdorff, in her second marriage.
Ironically, he died on May 1 after falling down from his fourth-floor balcony, on International Workers' Day. His grave can be found in Huddinge graveyard southwest of Stockholm.
Erik Palmstierna describes him:
”Sohlman appeared to have been forgotten since the 60s. A true patriot and guild brother, lover of shooting, and everything that the worker meant with the term 'Philistine', but a great and harmless man of honor.”
–Palmstierna, 1950

Samuel S. Wineburg (born 1958) is an American educational and cognitive psychologist. He is the Margaret Jacks Professor of Education and, by courtesy, of History & American Studies emeritus at Stanford University.
Since the 1990s, Wineburg has been a leading figure in research on historical thinking and the teaching and learning of history. Wineburg's work has proved foundational in establishing a "heuristic" stream of research on historical thinking which seeks to close the gap between the critical and interpretive work of historians and the fact-based work of students. Wineburg's more recent work has focused on how individuals evaluate the reliability of digital information.
Early life and education
Sam Wineburg was born in 1958. He was raised in Utica, New York in a Reform Jewish family.
Wineburg attended Brown University, where he studied under Jacob Neusner. Neusner told Wineburg "you will have to leave Brown to become Jewishly educated," prompting Wineburg to spend a year and a half in Israel studying Hebrew and living on kibbutzes. Upon his return to the United States, Wineburg transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, where he graduated with a degree in the history of religion. Wineburg earned his Ph.D. in Psychological Studies in Education at Stanford University, where Lee Shulman served as his advisor.
Career
Research
Wineburg's work has formed the foundation for one of two dominant streams of research on historical thinking in the United States. Wineburg argues that while historians critically analyze documents and examine the motives of authors, American students of history are relegated to the task of "searching for facts." According to Wineburg, this "breach" between school and academia can be addressed through three historical thinking heuristics: sourcing, contextualization, and corroboration. Wineburg defines heuristics as "sense-making activities [that] help their user resolve contradictions, see patterns and make distinctions among different types of evidence." Wineburg's approach "has been criticized for its overemphasis on a disciplinary form of knowledge more attuned to academic education than to the broader educational context and its attention to civic republicanism and the sociocultural milieu in which history learning takes place."
Wineburg is the founder and director of the Stanford History Education Group at Stanford. Since 2015 he has been a member of the National Academy of Education.
Zinn
Wineburg has publicly criticized Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. Reviewing a critique by Wineburg, reviewer David Plotnikoff credits Wineburg for showing that "A People's History perpetrates the same errors of historical practice as the tomes it aimed to correct," for "Zinn's desire to cast a light on what he saw as historic injustice was a crusade built on secondary sources of questionable provenance, omission of exculpatory evidence, leading questions and shaky connections between evidence and conclusions," for which he provides many examples.

Plot
Two siblings run over an enchanted coin and battle for it. A bird shows up from the coin and starts presenting the Mahabharata as a directive for all of humanity.
She sings the outline of the conflict's beginnings. Sage Durwas visits Princess Kunti's castle and favors her that she will acquire children from the divine beings. Kunti requests a child from the sun god however becomes derided for being an unwed mother, so she passes on him in a crate to drift away in River Ganga. She weds Pandu and has 3 children: Arjun, Bheem, and Yudhishtir. Pandu's subsequent spouse, Madri, brings forth Nakul and Sahadev. Pandu's children are known as the Pandavas. Pandu's visually impaired sibling, Dhritarashta, has 100 children, the Kauravas, with his significant other Gandhari. The oldest Kaurava is Duryodhan. The Pandavas and Kauravas learn under Sage Dronacharya and foster ill will between each other, which starts the Mahabharata.
In Hastinapur, grandsire Bheeshma shows up at the presentation of the Pandavas' and Kauravas' weapon abilities. Karan, Kunti's first child that she parted with, shows up to challenge Arjun as the best toxophilite. He is initially not permitted to partake in the test since he isn't eminence, yet Duryodhan proclaims him the King of Ang, anxious to see Karan rout Arjuna. Seeing them duel one another, Dronacharya announces Karan and Arjuna as similarly capable champions. Yudhishtir is announced the King of Hastinapur, which makes Duryodhan desirous. His uncle, Shakuni, assists him with concocting an arrangement that will consume the Pandavas to cinders. They intend to consume their royal residence, however Vidur, another uncle, tells Bheem of the arrangement in advance. Everybody accepts that the Pandavas and Kunti have been singed alive, however with the assistance of Vidur, they utilize an underground departure course to escape the consuming castle. Vidur encourages them to live secret in the woodland for quite a while to develop their fortitude and allies, letting them know that Krishna will direct them.
Ruler Draupad holds a rivalry to track down a spouse for his girl, Draupadi. The Pandavas show up in the mask of Brahmins to share, and Arjuna wins the opposition. At the point when Arjuna comes to tell Kunti the news, without hearing what occurred, Kunti orders Arjuna to share anything that he has won among every one of the five siblings. Krishna shows up and clarifies how in her previous existence, Draupadi had requested a spouse multiple times, and Shiva had conceded this solicitation.
The Pandavas make a royal residence of deceptions and welcome Duryodhan, where Draupadi affronts him out of retribution. Duryodhan leaves feeling embarrassed and irate. Duryodhan sets up a betting match, where Yuddhishtir loses his realm and his assets as a whole. He bets away Draupadi, who Duryodhan openly strips down. Draupadi goes to Krishna, who utilizes his heavenly ability to safeguard her respect. To offer reparations for their transgressions of betting and not safeguarding Draupadi, the Pandavas go someplace far off, banished for good once more.
Krishna cautions the Kauravas against beginning conflict, however they don't pay regard. Arjuna tells Krishna he can't battle against his family, however Krishna lets him know this is a conflict of good and bad, and he should battle for reality. Krishna advises him that spirits are interminable, so he ought not stress over killing his relatives' bodies. The Pandavas understand that they can't win until Bheeshma is on the war zone since he has a shelter that he can't bite the dust. Arjuna hesitantly shoots him with numerous bolts to weaken him. The Pandavas send Arjuna's child Abhimanyu on the front line to break Dronacharya's maze. Duryodhan and Shakuni trap Abhimanyu in the maze arrangement and cut him from the back.
Kunti visits Karn and tells her that she is his mom, beseeching him to save the Pandavas. He vows not to kill any of the Pandava siblings aside from Arjuna. On the war zone, Duryodhan becomes furious with Karan for not shooting the Pandavas when they are obvious objectives. All things being equal, while Karna is fixing his stuck wheel, Krishna advises Arjuna to shoot him, and Karan penances himself for his mom. Seeing his military being crushed, Duryodhan sits in the sea to ponder and Bheem follows him. They take part in duel until Bheem hits him in the thigh and kills him, finishing the conflict. Kunti uncovers to everybody that Karna was her oldest child and that he forfeited himself for her to eliminate the shame against him. Yuddhistir is delegated ruler and the Pandavas rule Hastinapur.
The narrating bird tells the young men that they ought to always remember the illustrations from the Mahabharat, for example, regarding seniors and living in solidarity.

The Leola Marsh Wildlife Area is a tract of protected land located in Adams County, Wisconsin, managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Wildlife Area was founded at the same time as the Buena Vista Wildlife Area and the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, located in Portage County, Wisconsin and Cumberland County, Maine respectively.
Leola Marsh
Although the master plan for both the Buena Vista Wildlife Area and Leola Marsh Wildlife Area was only set into motion in 1982, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) had begun purchasing land for the project as early as 1956. As with the Buena Vista Wildlife Area, in the early 1900's irrigation efforts were undertaken to drain the two marsh areas, allowing for cultivation of cranberries, timber, and grazing land for cattle. The soil in the Wildlife Area is comprised mostly of muck and loamy sands.
Flora and Fauna
Of the located within the Wildlife Area, in 47 of them Black Oak are prominent, and in 15 other, Aspen can be found. In addition to these commonly found trees, there are a wide variety of vulnerable birds are known to populate the area, including the Vesper sparrow, Northern harrier, Short-eared owl, Whooping crane, and the Greater prairie chicken, whose observed population in the Wildlife Area is the largest than anywhere else in the state.
The Gray Wolf and Blanding's turtle are also native to the area, along with the Regal fritillary butterfly which is listed as a species of concern.

The Javan hidden shrew or Javan long-tailed shrew (Crocidura abscondita, also erroneously referred to as Crocidura absconditus) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to the island of Java in Indonesia.
Taxonomy
It was described in 2014 based on its morphological distinctiveness, with phylogenetic analysis also supporting it as being a distinct species. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that it is a sister species to the Sumatran long-tailed shrew (C. paradoxura), from which it diverged during the Miocene, about 9.5 million years ago.
The specific name, abscondita, means 'hidden' in Latin and is a reference to the undescribed ("hidden") mammal species of Southeast Asia.
Distribution and habitat
It is endemic to the Mount Gede-Pangrango area, a double-peak stratovolcano located in West Java, Indonesia. It is thought to inhabit montane and subalpine forests.
Description
It is a species of Crocidura of medium size, with a total length of ± 161.8 mm, a tail of ± 88.3 mm and a weight of ± 7.5 mm. Its pelage is gray at the base of hairs, with brown tips on the back and gray tips on the belly.
Status
It may be threatened by habitat loss, which has been extensive throughout Java, but little is known of this species' life history or habitat preference. It is thus classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List.

The Battle of Chernobyl was a military confrontation in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone between the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces, starting on 24 February 2022, during the first day of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian forces invading from the country of Belarus seized the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant area by the end of that day.
Background
During the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, large quantities of radioactive material were released from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant into the surrounding environment. The area in a radius surrounding the exploded reactor was evacuated and sealed off by Soviet authorities. This area was formalized as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and its boundaries have changed over time. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, this area became part of newly independent Ukraine and was managed by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
Battle
In the afternoon of 24 February 2022, the first day of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian government announced that Russian forces had launched an attack to capture the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
By the end of the day, the Ukrainian government further announced that Russian forces had captured Chernobyl and Pripyat.
Following the Russian capture of the exclusion zone, the American government announced "credible reports that Russian soldiers are currently holding the staff of the Chernobyl facilities hostage."
It was reported that artillery shelling hit radioactive waste storage locations and an increase in radioactivity was observed.
However, the International Atomic Energy Agency has stated "there had been no casualties nor destruction at the industrial site."
Reactions
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the Russian capture of the zone a "declaration of war against the whole of Europe".
Mykhailo Podoliyak, advisor to head of the President's Office of Ukraine, was quoted as saying that it was a "totally pointless attack", and "the condition of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant, confinement, and nuclear waste storage facilities is unknown". However, the International Atomic Energy Agency stated that there were "no casualties nor destruction at the industrial site" and that it was "of vital importance that the safe and secure operations of the nuclear facilities in that zone should not be affected or disrupted in any way."
Analysis
In the greater picture of the Kyiv Offensive, the capture of Chernobyl can be considered a waypoint for Russian troops advancing towards Kyiv. Ben Hodges, former commanding general of the United States Army Europe, stated that the exclusion zone was "important because of where it sits... If Russian forces were attacking Kyiv from the north, Chernobyl is right there on the way." Former American Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, Eurasia Evelyn Farkas said that the Russian forces "want to surround the capital" and that they "certainly don’t want loose nuclear material floating around" in case of a Ukrainian insurgency.
The Exclusion Zone is important for containing fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986; as such, Ukrainian interior affairs advisor Anton Herashchenko said that "if the occupiers' artillery strikes hit the nuclear waste storage facility, radioactive dust may cover the territories of Ukraine, Belarus and the EU countries". According to the BBC, monitoring stations in the area reported a 20-fold increase in radiation levels, up to 65 µSv/h. Claire Corkhill of Sheffield University stated that the increase was localised and was due in part to "increased movement of people and vehicles in and around the Chernobyl zone [that] will have kicked up radioactive dust that's on the ground."

The Spirit 21, also called the Spirit 6.5 for its length overall in meters, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Hank Hinckley as a cruiser and first built in 1977.
Production
The design was built by Glastron in the United States, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Spirit 21 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel. The cabin has a "pop-top" to increase headroom. The boat displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the keel extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four to five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and an optional extra main cabin berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the companionway ladder. The head is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is with the pop-top closed and with it open. A fresh water tank with a capacity of , was a factory option.
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 261 and a hull speed of .
Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "generally speaking, Hank Hinckley, of the Southwest Harbor, Maine, Hinckleys of boatbuilding fame, did a good job designing the Spirit 6.5. The ads for her say that she has "probably the best designed, most spacious, most clearly thought-out interior on any sailboat her size." Indeed, her Space Index is higher than most of her comp[etitor]s by around 10%. But her headroom (poptop down) isn't as good as the Aquarius [21] (though it's 6' 2" with the poptop raised), and her draft is not as ramp-friendly as some of her comp[etitor]s (because her weighted swing keel is positioned lower in the hull to keep the cabin free of a trunk). Best features: For the same reason that her ramp draft is deeper than some of her comp[etitor]s, her cabin has more leg room, since there is no above-the-sole trunk housing the swing keel ... Worst features: The freeboard, which adds to her space below, is noticeably higher than her comps, giving her a boxy look,"

Blésois (or Blaisois in older maps) is a natural region of France located around the city of Blois (Loir-et-Cher). This term also refers to the locals living there. Historically, Blésois was part of the County of Blois, and from 1498 part of the Orléanais province.
Situation
This natural region is located in the center of the Loir-et-Cher department. With Val de Loire orléanais, Val de Loire tourangeau and Val d'Anjou, it is part of a larger natural region called Val de Loire.
Blésois is between the following natural regions:
In the North, Beauce and Val de Loire orléanais;
In the East, Sologne;
In the South, Val de Loire tourangeau;
In the East, Gâtine tourangelle.
Terminology
The word “Blésois” comes from the name given by Romans to the surroundings: pagus Blesensi, and seems to derivate itself from the celtic word bleiz, meaning “wolf”. As a result, Blésois was originally the “land of wolves”, even though this animal disappeared in this region.
By analogy, this refers to a local dialect too.
The spelling "Blaisois" was once correct, but it has to be avoided since it can be confused with the Blaise river surroundings.

Julia A. Wood (after marriage, Kauffman; February 10, 1840 – March 29, 1927) was an American writer and composer, known for her musical and literary talents. In addition to publishing a travel book with autobiography and some compositions, she wrote for her church's papers: The Pilgrim, Primitive Christian, Progressive Christian, the Brethren At Work and Gospel Preacher. Being the oldest daughter of fourteen children, she spent several years as their teacher. In 1891, Wood's husband died suddenly, a few days after their wedding and she never remarried. Wood died in 1927.
Early life and education
Julia A. Wood was born in Spring Garden, Fluvanna County, Virginia, February 10, 1840. She was the fourth child of Henry Washington Wood and Phoebe Ann Walton Wood. Of their 14 children, seven died young. The family was divided in religious matters, the mother being a Wesleyan Methodist, two brothers Presbyterians, and a sister was an Episcopalian. From Julia's earliest recollection, she had a great desire to be prepared for heaven.
Chanie Jacobs, house-servant, nursed Wood as a child. After emancipation, the family hired Jacobs and her children and they stayed in the household.
In early childhood, her tutors were Dr. Samuel Brown, a cousin; Col. Geo. W. Pettit, and Dr. Geo. H. Snead. Next, she was boarded with the family of Joseph H. Turner at Columbia, Virginia, the governess being Miss Mary Harding, of Leesburg, Virginia, and then Miss Amanda Blair, of Georgia, Vermont. Lastly, she was boarded one year at Virginia Buckingham Collegiate Institute. Her studies were some of the Languages, Botany, Philosophy, Chemistry, Physiology, Astronomy, Music, Composition Histories, Worsted and French Work, and several kinds of Grammar.
Career
At the beginning of the American Civil War (1861), the father owned 44 servants and about of valuable James and Rivanna River lands, divided into two farms, apart. At the close of 1861, Wood was gradually attacked by a form of dyspepsia which at an advanced period entailed great suffering. At different times, various physicians were consulted; remedies prescribed, some beneficial and others aggravating. Occasionally there was such relief that Wood flattered herself cured. During this period till 1868, although quite suffering at times, Wood engaged in dancing, card-playing and kinds of amusements. She was particularly fond of dancing. She composed several instrumental and one vocal piece of music in 1866. Some of it was sold in different states.
Though the parents were able to keep the land after the war ended in 1865, the properties became burdenson and put the family into continued pecuniary straits. Wood's health continued alternating between relief and relapse 8.5 years. Other afflictions would come and go including long-continued attacks of excruciating neuralgia and rheumatism (the result of an unavoidable accident, September 18, 1886) each of them more and more enfeebling to her delicate frame. At times, in the effort to cure one or the other of those additional diseases, the remedies so aggravated Wood's dyspepsia, it finally assumed a chronic form and general prostration ensued. Two successive months, she could not sleep during the day, and could sleep only two hours during the night. She took no opiates. In spring, often for several weeks it was only by the greatest effort that she could raise her voice to an audible tone. So great was her aversion to being considered an invalid, or of being entirely dependent upon others, that she did not cease to walk about the house, often doing so when she struggled to support herself standing.
During the period of April 20–27, 1869, Wood suffered pangs with a joint-felon, on the second finger of her left hand, which disabled her arm and hand for some months. From the middle of 1869 till May 1871, she did little or no work, except to daily attend in a struggling manner to her bed-chamber, then quietly sit in it, read the Bible and all the religious books she could get. An Episcopal woman, Mary B. Galt, provided Wood with reading materials including Goulborne's Thoughts on Personal Religion, and Stepping Heavenward.
Towards the close of 1871, Wood was daily employed in sewing, until late in March 1872, she begun teaching her youngest brothers, Virgil and Toutant. She volunteered to make a sacrifice in that matter. Feeling it to be a duty to provide them with home education, she continued to teach them every year, whether she was sick or well. Being the eldest sister, it devolved upon her to teach, at times, for seven successive years, the most of her brothers and sisters in their childhood days. In addition to that, she taught her two youngest brothers three successive years.
In January 1873, Wood was instantaneously seized with excruciating neuralgia of her face, continuing three successive months, the whole of every day, and the most of each night; that ended late in March, 1873. Desiring to be usefully employed, and too feeble for any kind of exertion, she resumed the task of completing a book for housekeepers she had begun, and laid aside a few years before. She continued that writing four and a half months, from October 1873 till the ensuing February 1874, with her Bible beside her for frequent examination. That continuous writing proved to be such a tax that Wood became thoroughly prostrated, with little or no relief, for the next six or seven months.
On October 4, 1874, Wood was baptized and joined the Brethren or German Baptists church, sometimes called "Dunkards" or "Tunkers", by outsiders.
For seven successive years after Wood joined the Brethren, she wrote by turns, for several of the church's papers: The Pilgrim, Primitive Christian, Progressive Christian, and occasionally for the Brethren At Work and Gospel Preacher. In 1877, she published Virginia cotillions, which contained cotillion music named for "Jeff Davis", "Robt. E. Lee", "Thos. J. Jackson", "Jas. Longsreet", "P.G.T. Beauregard", and the "Jas. E. B. Stuart".
In June 1879, Wood became so disabled by an accident that she had to suspend her public writing, except when necessity demanded otherwise, entailing additional suffering. Friends insisted upon Wood traveling North, or to the coast to try and improve her health and thus she did. That tour leadi to publication of her book, My northern travels: the results of faith and prayer : based upon a tour of nine months through Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Canada. With the authors autobiography in 1887.
Personal life
On January 11, 1891, she married Rev. Joseph N. Kauffman, a Brethren minister of New Carlisle, Ohio. He died January 19, 1891, from a stroke of apoplexy, just days after the wedding.
Julia Wood Kauffman died in Bremo Bluff, Fluvanna County, Virginia, March 29, 1927.

Francis Lepipre or Le Piper ( – 1695) was an English artist of Flemish ancestry.
Francis Lepipre, son of Noel Lepipre, belonged to a family of some importance in Flanders, which had, however, settled in England, and owned property at Canterbury. His father made a large fortune as a merchant, and gave Lepipre a liberal education, but he showed a genius for art, and devoted himself to drawing. Having no need to earn his livelihood, he drew for his amusement, selecting subjects of a humorous or comical nature. His memory was so good that he could draw exact likenesses of any one whom he had only passed in the street. He was of a genial nature, fond of the bottle and good living, and a great favourite among his friends. Some of his best drawings were made for taverns, such as the Mitre in Stocks Market and the Bell in Westminster.
Lepipre travelled much on the continent, and his close study of the works of the great painters rendered him an excellent draughtsman. He once extended his travels as far as Cairo in Egypt. He drew landscapes and humorous compositions and caricatures, and frequently etched subjects on silver plates for his friends, who used them as lids to their tobacco-boxes. Lepipre painted twelve small pictures of scenes in Hudibras, which are very similar to the set engraved by William Hogarth. Some of the heads in Sir Paul Rycaut's History of the Turks were drawn by Lepipre and engraved by W. Elder. There are a few humorous drawings by him in the print room at the British Museum.
Lepipre inherited some fortune at the death of his father, but at one time found himself considerably reduced in circumstances, and temporarily worked for Isaac Beckett the mezzotint-engraver. Late in life he took to modelling in wax, executing bas-reliefs in this manner with some success. After his mother's death he inherited further property, and indulged in free living again. A fever was the result, and through medical inexperience it proved fatal. He died unmarried in Aldermanbury in 1698, and was buried in St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey. Two portraits of Lepipre were engraved in mezzotint, one being ascribed to E. Luttrell; others were engraved for various editions of Walpole's Anecdotes of Painting. He also was the central figure of a group painted by Isaac Fuller. His brother, Peter Lepipre, was a merchant in London, and owned most of his brother's drawings. He married Sarah, daughter of Sir Gabriel Roberts, by whom he had a large family.

The Dutch Belted or Dutch Belt is an American breed of dairy cattle. It derives from the Lakenvelder of Germany and Holland, of which examples were imported to the United States from 1838. It became an important dairy breed in the early twentieth century, but could not compete with the Holstein-Friesian. By 1970 it was close to extinction; from 1993 the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (later The Livestock Conservancy) was active in the recovery of the breed. In 2021 it was listed as "critical" on the watchlist of the conservancy.

Snake Island (), a Ukrainian island in the Black Sea, was attacked on 24 February 2022 during the early stages of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Background
Snake Island is a small rocky island off the southern coast of Ukraine, strategically located off Romania and at the edge of Ukrainian territorial waters in the Black Sea. The territorial waters surrounding the island were disputed by Romania and Ukraine from 2004 to 2009, when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) awarded most of them to Romania. It was during this period that Ukraine founded the island's only settlement, Bile, in 2007 to prove the status of Snake Island as an inhabitable island and gain leverage in the dispute.
In August 2021, as Russian forces built up around Ukraine, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a press event on the island, during which he said: "This island, like the rest of our territory, is Ukrainian land, and we will defend it with all our might."
Attack
On 24 February 2022, the first day of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian State Border Guards announced about 18:00 local time that Snake Island had come under attack by Russian Navy ships. The cruiser Moskva and patrol boat Vasily Bykov bombarded the island with their deck guns.
When the Russian warship identified itself and instructed the Ukrainian soldiers stationed on the island to surrender, their response was "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" (). An audio clip of the exchange was first shared by Ukrainian government official Anton Herashchenko, then widely distributed by the Ukrayinska Pravda, and later verified as authentic by Ukrainian government sources.
One Ukrainian soldier live-streamed the moment that the Russian warship opened fire. Later in the evening, the State Border Guard Service said that communication with the island had been lost. At 22:00 (01:00 Moscow Time, UTC+2), service officials announced that Russian forces had captured the island following a naval and air bombardment that destroyed all infrastructure on the island. After the bombardment, a detachment of Russian soldiers landed and took control of Snake Island.
The Russian government reported that on 25 February 2022, a squadron of sixteen boats of the Ukrainian Navy attacked Russian vessels off Snake Island, also claiming that it sank six of the Ukrainian boats. The Russian government further accused the United States of providing intelligence support to the Ukrainian squadron during the action. The United States denied any involvement.
On 26 February 2022, Ukrainian authorities announced that the civilian search and rescue ship Sapphire was captured by the Russian navy off Snake Island.
Reporting
Ukrainian government sources initially stated that 13 border guards, representing the entirety of the Ukrainian military presence on the island, were killed after refusing to surrender. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine later announced that the guards might instead have been captured, based on Russian reports that they were being held as prisoners of war in Sevastopol.
Russian defence media presented an alternate version of events, claiming that 82 Ukrainian soldiers were taken prisoner after surrendering voluntarily. Russian ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov claimed that the prisoners have been signing pledges promising not to continue military action against Russia and will be released soon.
On 28 February 2022, the Ukrainian Navy posted on its Facebook page that all the border guards of the island were alive and detained by the Russian Navy.
Reaction
The Ukrainian border guards' final words before being captured, "Russian warship, go fuck yourself!", went viral and became a rallying cry for Ukrainians and their supporters around the world. The Week compared the phrase to "Remember the Alamo" from the 19th century Texas Revolution.
On the day of the attack, before it was known that the guards survived, Zelenskyy announced that all thirteen of them would posthumously be awarded the title Hero of Ukraine, the highest Ukrainian military honor. The President of Ukraine has not commented on whether the titles would still be awarded after the guards were found alive.

Severn Express was a bus service which operated between Bristol and Newport via Chepstow and Coldra.
History
On 1 September 2019, the route was transferred from First West of England to Stagecoach West. First noted the removal of tolls from the Severn Bridge as having contributed to lower passenger numbers.
From 5 January 2020, the stops at Cribbs Causeway and Aust were removed. Stagecoach stated that the route had been running at a financial loss and that the changes were to improve journey times and punctuality in the hope of increasing passenger numbers.
The service was withdrawn after 14 June 2020. It was partially replaced by the X7 Trawshafren service between Bristol and Chepstow.

The Hummingbird () is a 2019 novel by Sandro Veronesi. The novel is presented in fragments with a nonlinear narrative structure and follows the tumultuous life of ophthalmologist Marco Carrera. The novel won the prestigious Strega Prize (2020).
Reception
In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called the novel "cleverly structured like a jigsaw puzzle", writing, "A senseless tragedy, splashes of levity, and unexpected poignancy bring this to a moving conclusion. Veronesi's dark modern chronicle shimmers with intelligence and flashes of pathos."
Kirkus Reviews called it an "intriguing but ultimately disappointing experiment in fictional biography" and criticised Veronesi's depictions of women.
In 2020, the novel won the prestigious Strega Prize. Veronesi previously won the Strega in 2006 for his novel
Film adaptation
The novel has been adapted into a film of the same name by director Francesca Archibugi. The film stars Pierfrancesco Favino as Marco, Bérénice Bejo as Luisa, Kasia Smutniak as Marina and Benedetta Porcaroli as Adele.

The 222nd Rifle Division was an infantry division of the Red Army, originally formed in the months just before the start of the German invasion, based on the shtat (table of organization and equipment) of September 13, 1939. It was formed at Starodub and was considered a "sister" to the 217th Rifle Division.
Formation
The division began forming on March 22, 1941, at Starodub in the Oryol Military District. When completed it had the following order of battle, although it would be modified, temporarily or permanently, on several occasions:
757th Rifle Regiment (later 457th)
774th Rifle Regiment
787th Rifle Regiment (later 479th)
666th Artillery Regiment (later 664th)
722nd Howitzer Artillery Regiment (until October 15, 1941)
43rd Antitank Battalion
297th Reconnaissance Company (later 297th Reconnaissance Battalion)
389th Sapper Battalion
602nd Signal Battalion (later 602nd and 426th Signal Companies)
391st Medical/Sanitation Battalion
309th Chemical Defense (Anti-gas) Company
261st Motor Transport Company
351st Field Bakery (later 484th and 353rd Field Bakeries)
124th Divisional Veterinary Hospital (later 170th)
317th Field Postal Station
42nd Field Office of the State Bank
Col. Fyodor Aleksandrovich Bobrov took command on the day the division began forming; he had previously served as the deputy commander of the 149th Rifle Division. It took 10 - 14 days after the start of the German invasion for it to complete its formation and incorporate mobilized reservists and equipment before it could go into battle. By July 1 it had been incorporated into the 33rd Rifle Corps of the separate 28th Army in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command.
Battle for Roslavl
By July 10 the 217th had joined the 222nd and the 145th Rifle Divisions in 33rd Corps, which was still in the Reserve. 28th Army was under command of Lt. Gen. V. I. Kachalov and by late July was being referred to as Group Kachalov. The Group consisted of the 222nd, 145th and 149th Rifle Divisions plus the 104th Tank Division on July 23 as Army Group Center was trying to eliminate the Soviet forces that were partly encircled near Smolensk. The latter two rifle divisions attacked northward along the RoslavlSmolensk road with 104th Tanks on the right flank and the 222nd remaining west of Roslavl to protect the left. This made some progress against Großdeutschland Motorized Regiment and a battlegroup of 18th Panzer Division, driving them back toward Pochinok and Yelnya. The Soviet forces had a tendency to make costly frontal attacks without adequate tank or artillery support and this effort was halted by the end of July 27. The next day the 222nd relieved a composite regiment that Kachalov had cobbled together and the following day was ordered to defend the city of Roslavl.
On July 29 the STAVKA ordered Kachalov to bring the 21st Mountain Cavalry and 52nd Cavalry Divisions forward from the Army reserve to protect his left flank west of Roslavl and reorganize to renew his attacks. At the same time Army Group Center was planning to eliminate Group Kachalov with its XXIV Panzer Corps. At this time Roslavl was 65km beyond the German front lines. As of August 1 the 222nd had been reassigned to Reserve Front's 43rd Army, joining the 217th and 53rd Rifle Divisions. The German attack began the same day and quickly broke through Kachalov's left flank before wheeling east along the Roslavl road, led by 4th Panzer Division. The assault overran the two cavalry divisions, splitting them apart and forcing them to with withdraw in disorder before turning the 222nd's left flank. The panzers were joined by infantry of VII Army Corps advancing on the city from the west and the division was effectively routed. Somewhat late, Kachalov ordered antitank reinforcements to the sector, but the end of August 2 4th Panzer was within 15km of the western outskirts of Roslavl. In spite of this threat, under pressure from the STAVKA Kachalov continued to order attacks to the north, which were effectively suicidal under the circumstances.
Roslavl fell to 4th Panzer on August 3, blocking the highway to Moscow and encircling the bulk of Group Kachalov. At 1730 hours the chief of staff of Reserve Front, Maj. Gen. P. I. Lyapin, managed to get a report to his new commander, Army Gen. G. K. Zhukov, describing the previous and current day's events:Zhukov began taking measures to rescue Group Kachalov, including the 774th Regiment. He ordered the commander of 43rd Army, Lt. Gen. I. G. Zakharin, to reinforce his defenses along the Desna River. He also radioed orders to Kachalov as to how he was to withdraw and link up with the remainder of the 222nd, but this officer was killed in a skirmish north of Roslavl on August 4. His deputy chief-of-staff, Maj. Gen. F. A. Zuev, took over and overnight directed the 774th Regiment, with two battalions of artillery, to provide a rearguard for the Group as it attempted to break out.
At 0312 hours on August 5, Zhukov contacted Zuev with "instructions", in which he put the bulk of the blame for the situation on Bobrov and his division:Just after midnight on August 7, Reserve Front reported to the STAVKA what had happened in the pocket based on the testimony of survivors. According to German sources Group Kachalov lost 80 percent of its initial force, including 250 tanks and other tracked vehicles, 713 guns and almost 2,000 trucks and other vehicles.
Battle of Yelnya
As the situation stabilized by the end of August 14 the 43rd Army had established its headquarters as Kirov and had the 53rd, 217th and 222nd Rifle, 105th Tank, and 106th Motorized (former 221st Motorized) Divisions, plus significant artillery assets, under command. The STAVKA began planning for a new offensive against Army Group Guderian and issued orders at 0235 hours on August 25 which directed the 222nd and 53rd Divisions to defend the Army's positions at Spas-Demensk and Kirov while the remainder of the Army attacked toward Roslavl on August 30 in conjunction with 24th Army. This effort initially went well as four divisions thrust across the Desna and penetrated the VII Corps' defenses between its 23rd and 197th Infantry Divisions. After an advance of up to 6km westward the group was halted the following day by German reserves and after the 211th Rifle Division was routed it and the other attacking Soviet divisions broke off their attack and retreated back to the Desna's eastern bank.
Operation Typhoon
By the end of September the division was operating under a hybrid shtat. It was still authorized the same number of mortars as prewar but the artillery and machine guns had been cut in half as per the July wartime shtat; it would officially lose its howitzer regiment on October 15. Although there is no official documentation of this type of organization available it may have been a local emergency authorization. In any case the division was understrength. On October 1 it was still in 43rd Army of Reserve Front and had 9,446 personnel on strength, but only 72 of 163 LMGs authorized; 38 of 108 HMGs; 19 of 81 50mm, 8 of 54 82mm, and 2 of 18 120mm mortars required. There were only 25 artillery pieces in the division, including regimental guns, plus 13 antitank guns and no antiaircraft weapons at all. At this time the 757th Rifle Regiment had been redesignated as, or replaced by, the 457th Regiment.
Despite these shortages the division continued to act on the offensive; on September 24 it had joined with the 145th Tank Brigade in an attempt to drive German forces from a bridgehead they held on the east bank of the Striana River. 43rd Army was defending a 70km-wide sector covering the Yukhnov axis with three rifle divisions in first echelon and one in second echelon; the 222nd and 211th Divisions were protecting the left flank. By this time intelligence indicated that German forces were massing on the RoslavlSpas-Demensk axis. At 0615 hours on October 2 a 15-minute artillery preparation began along the Army's entire sector, followed by the actual assault. The 222nd was struck by one infantry division while the 211th faced a division and part of another, along with a battalion of tanks. By noon the front had been breached, following which a panzer and a motorized division were committed through the gap toward Spas-Demensk. The next day it became clear that the entire Army was in an unauthorized retreat into the sector of Marshal S. M. Budyonny's Bryansk Front and he ordered the 222nd to come under his operational control while 43rd Army took up a line along the Snopot River. The division was subordinated to 24th Army by the morning of October 6 and Budyonny ordered that Army to defend the line of the Ushitsa River to Gorodechnia. During the previous day German reports claimed that it had been encircled and crushed south and southeast of Spas-Demensk.
Through this chaos Colonel Bobrov managed to maintain control of the remnants of his division and by the evening of October 6 was located in the area of Moloshino along with the badly damaged 8th Rifle Division and 144th Tank Brigade. At this time the 24th Army was fighting in semi-encirclement which became total on October 8. The next morning the 222nd, with many of the Army's other retreating elements, began to arrive in the area of Panfilovo and to the south. Bobrov led his troops to the north during the breakout, rather than the east as the German command expected. During this he sustained a shoulder wound but managed to cross the German lines with his remaining troops near Naro-Fominsk and they were soon put back in the line near there and Kubinka while Bobrov reported to hospital, being replaced in command on October 15 by Col. Timofei Yakovlevich Novikov. By the beginning of November the division came under command of the rebuilding 33rd Army in Western Front. With one brief exception it would remain in this Army for the duration of the war.
Battle of Moscow
As of November 16 the Army, under command of Lt. Gen. M. G. Yefremov, was constructing defenses along its entire front in anticipation of a renewed offensive on Moscow; it had just four divisions under command. The 222nd was defending an 11km-wide sector from Myakshevo to outside Naro-Fominsk. Colonel Novikov left the division on November 28 and was briefly replaced by the commander of the 774th Rifle Regiment, Col. Mikhail Osipovich Leshchinsky, until Colonel Bobrov returned from hospital on December 8. Novikov went on to command the 181st Rifle Division, being taken prisoner when it was surrounded near Stalingrad in August 1942, and died in German captivity.

Brood XXIII (also known as the Mississippi Valley Brood) is a brood of 13-year periodical cicadas that last emerged in 2015 around the Mississippi River in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, and Illinois. The brood was also seen in Southwestern Indiana and Western Kentucky around the Ohio River, and as far north as Weldon Springs State Park in DeWitt County, Illinois. Brood XXIII is one of three extant periodical cicada broods with a 13-year life cycle, and thus is expected to be seen again in 2028.
Lifecycle and history
Every 13 years Brood XXIII cicadas tunnel en masse to the surface of the ground in late-April to early-June of emergence years to molt, mate, lay eggs, and subsequently die off over the course of a few weeks. After the eggs hatch, the nymphs burrow back underground to further develop and grow for the next 13 years before emerging again, completing the cycle. The extreme number of emerging cicadas is often given as an example of predator satiation.
Brood XXIII was first specifically described in 1845 by Dr. D.L. Pharas of Woodville, Mississippi in a local newspaper, the Woodville Republican.
Brood XXIII is only one of three still living 13-year cicada broods; the other two are Brood XIX (the "Great Southern Brood") and Brood XXII (the "Baton Rouge Brood"). Brood XXI (the "Floridian Brood") was a fourth 13-year brood that was last seen in 1870 in the Florida Panhandle and along the Alabama–Mississippi border. It is presumed extinct.
Species present
Brood XXIII includes all four 13-year cicada species:
Magicicada tredecim (Walsh & Riley, 1868)
Magicicada neotredecim (Marshall & Cooley, 2000)
Magicicada tredecula (Alexander & Moore, 1962)
Magicicada tredecassini (Alexander & Moore, 1962)

On June 21, 2019, the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the face of an explosion and fire early morning, when a spill of hydrofluoric acid caused a ground-hugging vapor cloud which ignited in the refinery's alkylation unit, causing a fire which led to three separate explosions minutes apart from each other, one explosion sending two fragments of a vessel flying hundreds of feet across the Schuylkill River. Five employees sustained minor injuries, but there were ultimately no fatalities. The refinery announced it would shut down operations the same month, and filed for bankruptcy a month later.
Background
The Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery is an oil refinery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania comprising two separate refineries, the Girard Point and Point Breeze refineries. The last fire to occur at the facility was June 10.
Explosion and fire
On the morning of June 21, 2019, the refinery reported that the alkylation unit of the refinery, which produces high-quality gasoline, was functioning normally. However, shortly after 4 a.m., approximately 3,000 pounds of hydrofluoric acid spilled out of the unit, causing a ground hugging vapor cloud, which ignited in the unit, causing a massive fire. 15 minutes later, an explosion occurred in the alkylation unit of the refinery. 4 minutes later, a second explosion occurred in the unit. Finally, a vessel containing flammable hydrocarbons detonated due to the fire, causing the largest explosion at 4:22. Fragments of the vessel, one weighing over 30,000 pounds and two other fragments weighing between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds were sent flying 2,000 fight across the Schuylkill River.
Firefight
Residents who lived east of the plant were ordered to shelter in place. The fire burned for over a day, before it was extinguished at 8:00 a.m. the next day, and the shelter-in-place order was lifted.
Investigation and shutdown
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board’s report on this incident is still ongoing. The latest report from the board was released on October 16, 2019, stating that a ruptured elbow pipe caused the leak of hydrofluoric acid which ignited the fire. The plant announced it would halt operations completely on June 26, 2019, and filed for bankruptcy on July 22.

The 2018–19 American International Yellow Jackets men's ice hockey season was the 71st season of play for the program, the 23rd at the Division I level, and the 16th season in the Atlantic Hockey conference. The Yellow Jackets represented American International College and were coached by Eric Lang, in his 3rd season.
Season
Fresh off of their best performance since joining Division I in 1999, American International upped the difficulty of their season by scheduling several strong opponents for 2019. They performed well in the season opener against Providence but then went through a bit of a skid as they tried to settle on the team's starting goaltender. By mid-November the team seemed to be stuck in the mud with an inconsistent offense and a porous defense. A stunning series sweep of Air Force, however, seemed to put the Yellow Jackets back on track; Zackarias Skog shut out the Falcons in both games and took full control of the AIC net for the remainder of the season. The team's offense, too, found its footing the same weekend and proved to be much more dependable afterwards.
A 5-game winning streak helped push American International towards the top of the conference standings and the Yellow Jackets looked primed to compile their first winning season in 25 years. The only real trouble for AIC looked to be its performance in non-conference games. A loss to Massachusetts just after new year's was their third strait embarrassing defeat by a team outside of their conference. By all appearances, the Yellow Jackets looked to be able to compete in Atlantic Hockey, but woefully unprepared for the upper echelon of college hockey.
After dropping its second weekend to RIT that year, AIC went on an 8–1 run that propelled them to the top of the standings. Not only did it guarantee the Yellow Jackets a winning record, but it gave them an 8-point cushion for the conference title. While the rest of Atlantic Hockey scrambled to catch up, American International headed off to Arizona and took on the 12th-ranked Sun Devils. While their non-conference losing streak continued, AIC fared far better than they had previously, fighting back from a 3-goal deficit in the second game to force overtime.
After returning home, the teams chasing AIC had made up some ground but not enough. The Yellow Jackets split their final weekend and finished 3 points ahead of second place to take their first Atlantic Hockey crown and the first regular season championship of any kind for the program. While the team was riding high, their placement in the Pairwise ranks left the team with only one way of making the NCAA Tournament; a conference championship.
AIC received a bye into the conference quarterfinal and welcomed Army for its final home games of the year. They got a tough fight from the service academy, but still managed to pull out a win in the series, advancing to a semifinal round for the first time since 1990. Despite facing the 8th-seed in the next round, AIC was pushed to the limit and saw the game go into overtime. Fortunately, the team's leading scorer, Blake Christensen, found the back of the net first and sent American International to the championship game. The match with Niagara was nearly a carbon-copy of the semifinal, with Christensen assisting on the winning goal in overtime. American International, with its first Atlantic Hockey championship, received the conference's automatic bid and was set to play the first NCAA tournament game in its 71-year history.
Entering the tournament, AIC was unsurprisingly ranked as the 16th-and last team in the field. They travelled out to North Dakota to face top-seeded St. Cloud State and weren't expect to amount to much. The game began slow, with both teams only recording 6 shots in the first period, but AIC found itself with a 1–0 lead. The Huskies began attacking the Yellow Jacket goal in the second but Skog stood firm and turned aside all shots. Instead, it was American International who scored to double their advantage and as the third began, St. Cloud began to become more frantic. The Huskies cut the lead in half with a power play marker around the mid-point of the period, but that was all that Skog and the defense would allow. Despite firing nearly three times as many shots, St. Cloud went down to defeat in American International's first NCAA tournament game.
While AIC couldn't continue their good fortune for another game, the team had already produced the best season in program history and had announced their arrival on the national stage with a tremendous upset victory.

Crab Orchard Community Unit School District 3 is a school district headquartered in Crab Orchard, Illinois. Crab Orchard Community Unit School District #3 serves the community and surrounding area. The district provides classes from Kindergarten to 12th grade. The schools teams have been known as the "Trojans."
It includes the Crab Orchard census-designated place. Even though the district has a Marion postal address, the district does not include any portions of Marion.
History
The high school is an outgrowth of the old private Crab Orchard Academy begun by Professor James W. Turner in 1890 that operated until 1913. A two-year high school began in 1915, a junior year was added in the 1920s, and it became a four-year high school in 1938. School district consolidation led to the creation of the unit district in 1952.
Steve Clark served as superintendent until around 1956. Hubert Fox served as the superintendent and high school principal from circa 1956 until May 1958, when the school board voted to remove him, four members in favor and three against, despite student protests against the firing. The board re-hired Clark as superintendent.
The current grade school building dates to about 1974, and the 7-12 grade building opened in October 2004.
Derek Hutchins began serving as superintendent in 2016. In 2017 the district had 530 enrolled pupils. That year the school faced a cyberattack.
In 2017, U.S. News & World Report recognized Crab Orchard High School in its National Rankings and awarded it a bronze medal.

Phalaenopsis cochlearis is a species of orchid native to peninsular Malaysia to Borneo.
Description
These lithophytic or epiphytic herbs have oblong-elliptic to elliptic-obovate, subacute, up to 22 cm long and 8 cm wide, distichously arranged leaves. Many pale yellow, glossy flowers are produced on panicles up to 50 cm in length. The peduncle of the inflorescence is erect, but the branches are arching to subpendent.
The species occurs at elevations of 500-700 m a.s.l. The specific epithet cochlearis is derived from Latin, meaning "concave like a spoon", which refers to the morphology of the labellum.
Conservation
This species is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade. The species is regarded as critically endangered and illegal collecting is a problem in their habitat. It is threatened by small-scale logging, quarrying, land clearance for traditional farming and collecting for trade. Locals collect wild plants and sell them to nurseries, which ultimately export plants to the US, Japan and Europe. Ex-situ conservation through artificial propagation would be beneficial.

Battle of Muraki Castle (January 24, 1554) was one of the first victories of the young Oda Nobunaga in his struggle to unite the province of Owari against the powerful Imagawa clan, whose army invaded the eastern parts of Owari.
Background
At the time when the seventeen-year-old Oda Nobunaga inherited family estates in the southwestern part of Owari Province (around Nagoya Castle) in spring of 1552, the southern parts of the province were ruled by his cousins, Oda from Kiyosu Castle, and the eastern parts of Owary were ruled by the powerful Imagawa clan, who at the time ruled the neighboring provinces of Mikawa, Totomi and Suruga, and their vassals, the Matsudaira clan (later Tokugawa) from Mikawa.
In spring of 1552. begun a civil war between Oda Nobunaga and Oda of Kiyosu in Ovari , so in 1554, the Imagawa clan came to the west and built the Muraki Castle in the southeast of Owari, besieging one of the Nobunaga's vassals (Mizuno Nobutomo) in his castle of Ogawa, while another one was persuaded to surrender the castle to Terumoto, so that Ogawa was cut off from the rest of the Nobunaga's territory.
Battle
Oda Nobunaga enlisted the help of his father in law Saito Dosan, lord of the province of Mino. Dosan immediately sent him 1,000 samurai. which Nobunaga left to protect Nagoya from the Oda of Kiyosu, and Nobunaga embarked his army (800 ashigaru armed with long spears and 500 ashigaru with arquebuses, which at that time were still new weapons in Japan, only imported in 1543) on the ships in Atsuta port south of Nagoya and sailed 13 miles along the Ise Bay, landing southwest of the Ogawa Castle.
After personally marching to Ogawa Castle to be informed by Mizuno Nobutomo about the situation, Nobunaga marched his army north and attacked the Imagawa forces in the Muraki Castle. Battle of Muraki was the first to demonstrate Nobunaga's military talent: not only was a naval landing on the Chita peninsula well organized, but Nobunaga's arquebusiers applied coordinated reloading and volley fire in rotating platoons, which maintained the ramparts of the castle under continuous fire. The ferocity of the gunfire frightened defenders so much that they surrendered on the first call. The next day Nobunaga took the Terumoto Castle in the same way, burnt it to the ground and exterminated its owners, in order to show his vassals the consequence of betrayal. Then he retreated to Nagoya Castle and dismissed the Dosan's troops, who returned to Mino.
Aftermath
Defeating the threat of the powerful Imagawa clan, Nobunaga gained a great reputation in Owari and got a free hand for the final showdown with Odo Nobutomo of Kiyosu. Three months later, Oda Nobunaga took Kiyosu Castle by treachery and united southern half of Owari

The Battle of Zarumilla was a military confrontation between Peru and Ecuador that took place from July 23 to 31 during the 1941 Ecuadorian–Peruvian War.
Background
Hostilities between Peru and Ecuador began on July 5, 1941, when fire was exchanged between both parties. The events themselves, however, are disputed. According the Ecuador, a group of Peruvians, including policemen, crossed the Zarumilla River into Ecuadorian soil. The Peruvian policemen are then said to have fired first when a border patrol was spotted. According to Peru, the Ecuadorian Army shot first at local Civil Guard troops, which exchanged fire for 30 minutes, holding back a potential advance and waiting for reinforcements. After the 5th, hostilities along the border continued. As a result, on the night of July 6, the senior commander of the Ecuadorian Army ordered the formation of the 5th Infantry Brigade in El Oro, under the command of Colonel Luis Rodríguez.
Battle
The Peruvian offensive began on July 23, being carried out by the newly formed Northern Army Detachment headed by General Eloy G. Ureta with the purpose of pushing north into El Oro Province to prevent more skirmishes along the disputed border.
Quebrada Seca
On July 23, 1941, the 41st Peruvian Squadron took off from Tumbes to fulfill a mission, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Antonio Alberti and made up of Lieutenants Fernando Paraud, José A. Quiñones and Manuel Rivera, aboard their North American NA-50 or Toritos fighter planes. The mission consisted of bombing the Ecuadorian post of Quebrada Seca, where they had concentrated the bulk of their anti-aircraft artillery and placed machine guns. During the battle Quiñones
According to Peruvian accounts, instead of parachuting to safety, Quiñones chose to sacrifice himself by crashing his damaged aircraft onto the Ecuadorian position, rendering the battery out of action. This version of events has been subsequently called into question by Ecuadorian military authorities, who have stated that there were no anti-aircraft guns in the area. The other planes that made up Squadron 41 continued with their mission and carried out a subsequent attack, returning to Tumbes.
Jambelí
The Peruvian destroyer Almirante Villar set sail from Zorritos with the mission of entering Ecuadorian waters and carrying out patrolling and reconnaissance tasks in the area. It was then that, being in the vicinity of the Jambelí channel, the Ecuadorian gunboat Abdón Calderón was spotted. The Ecuadorian ship, which was in transit to Guayaquil, turned 180º with respect to its course as soon as it recognized the Peruvian ship, fleeing towards Puerto Bolívar while firing shots. Admiral Villar did the same, maneuvering in circles avoiding getting too close to the coast due to its shallow depth. After 21 minutes of both sides exchanging fire, the incident ended.
Puerto Bolívar
On July 23, Peruvian aircraft carried out a strategic bombing of the port city. On the next day, aircraft returned to attack the Aviso Atahualpa patrol boat, located in the docks of the city. The fact that the patrol boat was the target as well as the subsequent defense of it carried out by Ecuadorian troops prevented valuable explosives located nearby from being attacked and ignited.
On July 28, Peruvian submarines and carried out a reconnaissance mission at the mouth of the Jambelí Strait in order to detect the presence of artillery. The following day, cruisers Coronel Bolognesi and Almirante Guise, during a patrol in front of the Jambelí Strait, bombed Punta Jambelí and Puerto Bolívar, in preparation for the Peruvian advance on El Oro.
On July 31st, prior to the cease fire that was to be effective on that date, an order was given to capture the city of Puerto Bolívar, which was accomplished using paratroopers from the newly formed Paratrooper Company of the Peruvian Air Force. The use of said paratroopers was decisive in the capture of the city and served as a surprise factor since, only a handful of countries had a unit of said type, such as Germany with their Fallschirmjäger, making Peru the first country in the Western Hemisphere to deploy paratroopers, being followed by Argentina in 1944.
Aftermath
After the ceasefire, a Civilian Administration was established in the occupied Province of El Oro by Peru. A month later, on October 2, a bilateral ceasefire was signed which also established a demilitarized zone between both states.
The government of Ecuador, led by Dr. Carlos Alberto Arroyo del Río, signed the Rio de Janeiro Protocol on January 29, 1942, with which Ecuador officially renounced its claim to a sovereign outlet to the Amazon River.
On February 12, 1942, Peruvian troops vacated the Ecuadorian province of El Oro.<ref>{{Cite news|title=29 de enero de 1942|url=https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/2016/07/03/nota/5668200/29-enero-1942/|date=2016-07-03|work=El Universo|quote=29.I.1942: "Hoy a las 2 a. m. se Firmó el Acuerdo Ecuatoriano-Peruano: Las Fuerzas Peruanas Saldrán Dentro de 15 Días de Nuestros Territorios (Today at 2 a.m. the Ecuadorian–Peruvian Agreement was signed: Peruvian Troops will leave our territories in 15 days)"}}</ref>

Hypotrachyna osseoalba, commonly known as the grainy loop lichen, is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is widely distributed in subtropical and temperate areas of the world. Characteristic features of the lichen include the pustules in its cortex, the somewhat linear shape of the lobes comprising the thallus, and the branched rhizines (holdfasts on the thallus underside).
Taxonomy
It was first scientifically described by Finnish lichenologist Edvard Vainio in 1921, as Parmelia osseoalba. Yun Sil Park and Mason Hale transferred it to the genus Hypotrachyna in 1989.
The taxon Parmelia formosana, described by Alexander Zahlbruckner in 1934, later became Hypotrachyna formosana after Hale transferred it to Hypotrachyna in 1975. When Hale was later working on a monograph of genus Xanthoparmelia, he studied the type material of Vainio's Parmelia osseoalba, and determined that it was identical both chemically and morphologically to Hypotrachyna formosana. Because of this, the name used by Zahlbruckner became a later synonym of Vainio's name.
In North America, Hypotrachyna osseoalba is commonly known as the "grainy loop lichen".
Chemistry
Several secondary compounds are known to occur in Hypotrachyna osseoalba, including colensoinic acid, norcolensoic acid, physodic acid, lividic acid, 4-O-demethylphysodic acid, oxyphysodic acid, and lichexanthone.
Distribution
Hypotrachyna osseoalba occurs in subtropical and temperate areas of Asia (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand) Australia, Africa, Central America, South America, and the eastern United States.

The T7 is a bus service which operated between Bristol and Chepstow. It is part of the TrawsCymru network.
History
The service was introduced as a partial replacement for the Severn Express, which was withdrawn after 14 June 2020. It began operating on 15 June 2020 on a six-month trial basis and was initially numbered X7. It operated during weekdays only and was operated by NAT Group.
Following a tendering process, the route passed from NAT Group to Newport Bus in January 2021. At this time, the route was also renumbered T7 and it began running seven days per week.
From 1 November 2021, Newport Bus started funding a third vehicle on the route in an attempt to improve service reliability. On 30 January 2022, journeys were allowed more time in response to congestion. The following month, the Welsh Government pledged to fund the third vehicle.
Route
The route runs at an approximately hourly frequency from Monday to Saturday, and runs four times in each direction on Sunday. Starting at Chepstow bus station, the route calls at Bulwark, Thornwell schools, Cribbs Causeway, Clifton Down railway station, and Bristol. On weekdays and Saturdays, two early morning journeys towards Bristol start at Magor and call at Rogiet, Caldicot, and Portskewett, before continuing to Chepstow and Bristol, and two evening journeys towards Chepstow continue to Magor. On Sundays, the first journey of the day starts at Magor while the last continues to Magor after Chepstow.

"Geççek" () is a song of the Turkish singer Tarkan. Released in February 2022, it has garnered quite some attention not only from his fans, but also in the Turkish political spectrum, both, politicians from the Government as well as the opposition have commented on it due to speculations of alleged criticism on the current government. The song has been written by Tarkan himself, and inspired by the difficult times he experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Production
The lyrics and melody of the song are from Tarkan, while Ozan Çolakoğlu was responsible for its production. The director of the song's video clip was Irfan Yildirm.
Release
After its release was announced by Tarkan on Twitter the song was released on Tarkan's YouTube channel on 17 February 2022 and by the next day has been viewed over 4 million times. It was Tarkan's first release in five years.
Political comments
The references to the final days of a difficult time have caused politicians to speculate around a possible political message ahead of the upcoming general elections in 2023. Opposition politicians such as Meral Aksener of the right-wing Good Party (İYi Party), Hüda Kaya of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) or Veli Agbaba of the Republican People's Party (CHP) have supported the song, commenting on him on social media. Journalists supporting the Government have alleged the song was written in Pennsylvania in reference to Fethullah Gülen's residency there. Alpay Özalan of the Governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) accused the opposition of having made use of Tarkan as their troll while not being able to govern a country and Metin Özkan from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) suspected the HDP of having had something to do with the song.

The Battle of Antonov Airport, also known as the Battle of Hostomel, was a battle which began on 24 February 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, for control over the Antonov Airport due to its strategic value.
Battle
24 February 2022
On the morning of 24 February 2022, between 20 to 34 Russian helicopters arrived to secure Antonov Airport in Hostomel, a suburb of Kyiv, in an attempt to create an airbridge in which troops and equipment could arrive less than from Kyiv. The helicopter formation consisted of Mi-8s carrying potentially a hundred to several hundreds of Russian airborne troops escorted by Ka-52 attack helicopters. 19FortyFive compared the Russian helicopter assault to the famous helicopter scene in the movie Apocalypse Now. Flying low, the Russian helicopters made their approach from Dnieper River and were immediately attacked by Ukrainian small arms fire and MANPADS. The Russian helicopters countered by deploying flares, though one Ka-52 was shot down over the river; its two pilots ejected and the helicopter landed in the river. Several more helicopters were shot down later in the day.
Once at the airport, the Russian airborne units began to secure the airport. Russian forces initially captured the airport, but were immediately contested by a Ukrainian counteroffensive from the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade of the National Guard supported by the Ukrainian Air Force. Lacking armored vehicles, the Russian forces were dependent on air support to stave off the Ukrainian advances. Two Russian SU-25s were witnessed attacking Ukrainian positions. Ukrainian warplanes, which remarkably survived the opening Russian missile strikes, joined the battle with at least two SU-24s and a Mig 29 bombing the Russian soldiers. After encircling the airport, the Ukrainians defeated the Russian forces by evening; the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade posted on their Facebook page an image of Ukrainian soldiers holding a Ukrainian flag riddled with bullet holes to celebrate their victory. The surviving Russian airborne troops retreated to the woods outside of the airport.
The Antonov An-225 Mriya, the world's largest airplane, was at the airport at the time of the opening phase of the battle. It was initially confirmed to be intact by an Antonov pilot, despite the fighting. However, on 26 February, Ukrainian officials reported that the Mriya had been destroyed during a Russian airstrike.
25 February 2022
On 25 February 2022, Russian ground forces advancing from Belarus took control of the airport after partially breaking through Ukrainian defenses at the Battle of Ivankiv. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, the capture came following an operation that involved some 200 helicopters and that 200 Ukrainian soldiers were killed during the fighting, while the Russian military suffered no casualties. This claim has been met with skepticism, with Timur Olevsky, a journalist who witnessed the battle, outright refuting this claim. Nevertheless, Russian ground forces established a foothold in Hostomel and began to man checkpoints inside the town. It has been speculated that the Ukrainian defenders may have scuttled the airport ahead of the advancing Russian ground forces.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs initially denied that the airport had been fully captured by the Russian forces, stating that it had been "changing hands" and that the battle was ongoing. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also stressed that the Russian claim of the massive Ukrainian casualties is "an absolute lie", while the Ukranian Ministry of Defence further claimed that the airfield was too badly damaged to be used by Russian troops. However, later in the day, Ukraine confirmed Russian forces were in control of the airport.
Aftermath
Despite the loss of the airport, Ukrainian forces continued to engage the Russian forces in Hostomel. Eyewitnesses recorded videos of allegedly a Russian tank column burning in a distance and Ukrainian Mi-24s firing rockets at Russian positions. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov claimed that Ukrainian forces deployed BM-21 Grad in Kyiv to bombard Russian forces occupying the airport. Olevsky stated that he believes casualties for both Russian and Ukrainian may number in the hundreds.
On 26 February 2022, Ukrainian forces claimed that the Ukrainian Alpha Group unit destroyed a column of Russian armored vehicles near Hostomel. , a member of the Verkhovna Rada, alleged that Russian spetsnaz captured some members of the Ukrainian National Guard and were wearing their uniforms. She stated to Ukrainian citizens and fighters to speak only in Ukrainian to help identify Russian saboteurs. As of 27 February, the airport was still under Russian control, while the fighting shifted to the towns of Bucha and Irpin to the south. The next day, a Russian military convoy stretching for arrived at the airport in preparation for an assault on Kyiv.

Princeton R-V School District is a school district headquartered in Princeton, Missouri. It operates an elementary school and a combined junior and senior high school.
The majority of the district is in Mercer County, and includes Princeton and southern portions of Ravanna. Small portions are in Grundy County.
History
In 1983 both the Coca-Cola and Pepsi companies lobbied to get the rights to have their drinks sold at school district events. The district previously used Pepsi, which offered to give $800 to an organization related to the district, but the district selected Coca-Cola, which offered to fund two annual scholarships, worth $200 each, and to give the district a new scoreboard for athletic games.
In 2006 the district proposed a school bond, and voters approved it with six being the margin of victory. The bond had a value of $3,000,000.
Athletics
In 2005 the district made a sports team sharing arrangement with the North Mercer School District, so Princeton handles American football for both districts while North Mercer handles boys' softball.

On February 19, 1945, men of the United States Marine Corps invaded the island of Iwo Jima, part of the Volcano Islands chain, in the North Pacific. This invasion, known as Operation Detachment, was a phase of the Pacfic Theatre of World War II. The American goal was to establish multiple airfields that would allow escort fighters to accompany long-range bombers in their attacks on the Japanese home islands, as well as providing a place for damaged bombers to land on the return flight.
The Japanese military was determined to inflict a casualty rate so high that the U.S. government would give up its demand that Japan surrender unconditionally. To this end, the island had been covered with an extremely extensive system of fortifications and fields of fire. The United States Navy subjected the island to an unprecedented bombardment and, according to historian Samuel Eliot Morison, "In no previous operation in the Pacific had naval gunfire support been so effective as at Iwo Jima." Nonetheless, Japanese artillery and machine-gun fire were extremely effective because the underground bunkers were so strong, only a direct hit by a bomb or naval shell could knock one out. Since direct hits were very difficult on well-camouflaged bunkers, many survived and inflicted a huge casualty rate on the Marines.
For the conquest of Iwo Jima, the Marine Corps assigned three divisions, a total of almost 70,000 troops, in stark contrast to the single division tasked with capturing Guadalcanal in August 1942. The conquest of Iwo Jima took five weeks, far beyond the American estimates.

Nancy McCord (died July 8, 1974, Arcadia, California) was an American soprano and actress who had an active career in opera, musical theatre, and vaudeville during the 1920s, 1930s and early 1940s. She appeared in operettas and musicals on Broadway and in operas with several American companies, including the St. Louis Municipal Opera and the Metropolitan Opera. Her repertoire consisted mainly of roles from light opera and operettas. She is best remembered for creating the roles of Marie-Baroness von Schlewitz in the original production of Oscar Hammerstein II and Sigmund Romberg's May Wine (1935); and Mary Stone in the world premiere of Douglas Moore's The Devil and Daniel Webster (1939). She also performed leading roles in the United States premieres of two operettas: Franz Lehár's The Land of Smiles (1933, Boston) and Robert Stolz's Venus in Seide (1935, Saint Louis).
Career
A native of Long Island, New York, McCord studied singing with Marcella Sembrich at the Juilliard School and at her studio in Bolton Landing, New York on Lake George. She began her career as a radio singer in the early 1920s as a regular performer on NBC Radio's WEAF station in New York City. In 1929 she made her New York opera debut performing the role of Micaëla in Georges Bizet's Carmen at Lewisohn Stadium with Vladimir Rosing's American Opera Company (AOC) and conductor Eugene Ormandy. She gave her first performance on Broadway on January 10, 1930, as Susanna in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro for the AOC at the Casino Theatre. This was soon followed by the role of Marguerite in Charles Gounod's Faust on January 18, 1930, opposite tenor Charles Kullman in the title role; notably the last performance given at the Casino Theatre before it was demolished the following month. She then toured with the AOC to Washington D.C., performing the same three opera roles at Poli's Theatre. Also in 1930, she starred as Marie Madame Morrosini in the Walter Kollo's operettaThree Little Girls () at the Great Northern Theatre in Chicago. In 1933 she portrayed Lisa in the United States premiere of Franz Lehár's The Land of Smiles at the Boston Opera House.
In addition to appearing in operas, McCord toured periodically in vaudeville in the early to mid 1930s with a 1932 review in Variety describing her as a "looker with a voice". In 1934 she was a headliner on the Orpheum Circuit; appearing in venues like Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre. In 1932 she appeared at the Ambassador Theatre on Broadway as Mable Stork in the musical revue Chamberlain Brown's Scrap Book which was produced by the show's namesake. She appeared in several more Broadway musicals in the 1930s, including the role of Kit Baker in the 1933 revival of Irving Berlin's Face the Music; a role which she was originally scheduled to perform in the musical's initial run a year earlier. Having secured the role in the revival, critic Mehler wrote in his review of her performance as Kit, "How come Nancy McCord, the ingenue in the show, was let go from the original production is beyond us. Here she does much better than her successor in the first presentation. She has a distinctive personality and is nice to look at.
McCord appeared in several more Broadway productions in the 1930s; starring as Queen Erna of Langenstein in the original production of Frederick Herendeen and Edward A. Horan's All the King's Horses (1934); and Marie-Baroness von Schlewitz in the original cast of Oscar Hammerstein II and Sigmund Romberg's May Wine (1935). Her final Broadway performance was as Mary Stone in the world premiere of Douglas Moore's The Devil and Daniel Webster at the Martin Beck Theatre on Broadway. She repeated this role for several performances at the 1939 New York World's Fair after it left that theatre.
On the opera stage, McCord starred in many productions with the St. Louis Municipal Opera (SLMO) beginning with the 1931 summer season. In 1933 she starred in the SLMO's productions of Noël Coward's operetta Bitter Sweet, the Edwardian musical comedy Florodora (as Dolores), and created the role of Marianne in the world premiere of Harry Tierney's operetta Beau Brummell. She later returned to the SLMO in 1935 to portray Shirley Sheridan in Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach's The Cat and the Fiddle and Princess Stephanya in the United States premiere of Robert Stolz's operetta Venus in Seide (retitled Venus in Silk for American billing). The latter work toured to Pittsburgh for tryout performances prior to a planned Broadway run; but poor reviews of the production prevented those plans from moving forward. In 1938 she performed the role of Heidi Mahler in the SLMO's staging of Lost Waltz; a stage adaptation the 1934 musical film Two Hearts in Waltz Time. Some of the other roles she sang with the SLMO included the title roles in Rudolf Friml's Rose-Marie (1939) and Friml's Katinka (1939)
McCord made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera as the romantic lead Saamcheddine in Henri Rabaud's Mârouf, savetier du Caire on May 21, 1937, with Mario Chamlee in the title role. That same year she was featured performing works by Gilbert and Sullivan in a 1937 NBC Radio broadcast on the program Sealtest's Saturday Night Party. In 1941 she starred in The Student Prince in a production mounted by the The Shubert Organization at the Boston Opera House, and then toured with that production to other theatres owned by the Shubert family. That same year she portrayed the title role in Rio Rita at the Dallas Opera.
Later life
McCord retired from performance after her marriage to Edmond C. Fleming in 1942. Immediately following their marriage, the couple settled on Fleming's ranch in Altadena, California. In 1954 she relocated to Arcadia, California where she resided until her death 20 years later on July 8, 1974.

Captain Duncan Mackellar was a sea captain and, subsequently, a colonial settler of New South Wales, Australia, with his Australian-born nephew, Duncan Mackellar, Junior (1795—1838). Both are associated with the early days of Braidwood.
In 1822, he visited Sydney in command of Clydesdale, a ship sailing under the licence of the East India Company. It is possible that around this time he committed to settling in the colony, and may have received a land grant.
In 1825, he was captain of the ship City of Edinburgh, owned by The Australian Company, of Edinburgh and Leith, in Scotland. The company's ships operated between Britain and the colony of New South Wales. On that ship in 1825, as immigrant passengers, were Mackellar's nephew, Duncan Mackellar, Junior and his nephew's family.
Mackellar resigned and stayed in the colony as a settler, in 1828, during the administration of Governor Darling. Darling tended to favour like-minded military men, both to staff his administration and as settlers given grants of land. He was immediately a supporter of Darling—aligned with the faction of colonists known as 'the Exclusives'—against those making allegations of nepotism and cronyism against Darling's administration.
Mackellar took up, with his nephew, Duncan Mackellar, Junior, a combined total of 3250 acres of land, near what is now the town of Braidwood, in 1829. By 1830, he had £1,000 capital, a stone house, a wood slab house, several huts, 12 assigned convicts and two free servants, with 120 acres cleared and the property was stocked with sheep, cattle and horses.
His holding was known as 'Strathalan'. He also had the right to graze on another 6000 acres of adjacent land that had not been granted or sold yet, in return for a rental payment. He then purchased 4000 acres, probably some of the adjacent land that he had been renting. In 1835, he was applying to buy nearby land, near his nephew's land grant, west of the Shoalhaven River, at Bombay.
In 1833, as a prominent citizen of the district, he was appointed a magistrate.
By 1837, the large landholders, 'the Exclusives', were facing the likelihood that transportation of convicts to New South wales would end, taking with it their source of low-cost labour. The large landholders advocated immigration of 'coolies', from India or China, to provide low-cost labour to replace the convicts. Mackellar gave evidence to a committee of the Legislative Council enquiring into immigration of Indians, in June 1837. The 'Exclusives' envisaged, in effect, a plantation-style economy, using lowly-paid, non-white indentured menial labourers—later attempting to import such 'coolies'—or convicts. Other colonists, who were aiming to achieve colonial self-government, opposed such an economic system.
Considerations of the availability of cheap labour had become academic to Mackellar. He had sold his landholding—likely at great profit—in 1836, to another sea captain who became a settler, Captain John Coghill, former captain of an East India Company convict transport ship, Mangles, who later built 'Bedervale'''.
He returned to Scotland, in 1837, and was living there, in 1839, when he published An Emigrant's Guide to Australia''; it sets out his experience of farming in New South Wales. In it, he claimed that his £3500 capital invested in sheep had grown to £24,000, in eight years. His nephew died in 1838, and his nephew's landholding was held in trust for his three sons.
Although he did not remain there long, he is remembered as one of the first colonial settlers of the district around Braidwood. He is remembered by Mackellar Street and Duncan Street in Braidwood which has its streets named for early settlers. That there are two such streets suggests that the street names may also commemorate his nephew.

Release
The film premiered at the Rome Film Festival in 2009 and was released at the Quad Cinema on September 10, 2010.
Reception
The film has a 63% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on eight reviews.
Ronnie Scheib of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Afterlight proceeds without much discernible plot or character development, its objects and places exuding more backstory than its people, though Rip Torn as the father of the sole male protagonist lends a certain woodsy authenticity."
Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times also gave the film a positive review and wrote, “ Tempering the film’s oppressive emotions, the cinematographer Zoë White’s exquisite compositions charge leaden rain clouds and rustling branches with eerie life, and dusty indoor corners with shadowy secrets.”
Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, “ At the same time, it’s hard to embrace this glacially paced, symbolism-heavy film’s elusive — when it’s not being elliptical — story about a city couple’s escape to rural life.”

David H. Johnston (August 19, 1838 - September 12, 1931) was an American soldier and recipient of the Medal of Honor who received the medal for his actions in the American Civil War.
Biography
Johnston was born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania on August 19, 1838, to David Johnston and Margaret Johnston. He served as a private in Company K of the 8th Missouri Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War. He earned his medal in action at the Battle of Vicksburg, Mississippi on May 22, 1863. Johnston received his medal on August 16, 1884, but the U.S War Department mistakenly listed the recipient of the award as David A. Johnston from Missouri in their files. The mix up happened after A. Johnston's pension check was mistaken by the War Department for H. Johnston's pension check, who had not applied for a pension that year. Johnston only requested a pension in 1907. The mistake was discovered in 1966 when a newspaper published a list of recipients and Johnston was absent. Johnston married Nancy Jane in 1872. The couple had eight children. Johnston died on September 12, 1931, in Central City Merrick County, Nebraska and is now buried in Pierce Chapel Bureau Cemetery, Clarks, Nebraska.
Legacy
Johnson and other Nebraska associated Medal of Honor recipients were inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame in the 1970s and a Medal of Honor memorial gravestone was placed at Johnston's grave on Sunday, October 25, 1992, in a large family gathering to dedicate Johnston's life. His medal is also on display at the Merrick County Historical Society Museum.
Medal of Honor Citation
For gallantry in the charge of the volunteer storming party on 22 May 1863, in action at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
