Arctomia teretiuscula is a rare species of squamulose (scaly) lichen in the family Arctomiaceae. It is found at high elevations in the mountains between Tibet and Sichuan, China. Taxonomy The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen. The type specimen was collected by Walter Obermayer in Haigoulou glacier and forest park (Mount Gongga) at an altitude between ; here it was found growing on mossy rocks and soil. Because of its small size and nondescript colour, it is readily missed in the field. Although at the time of publication the lichen was only known to occur at the type location, Jørgensen speculates that it may have a wider distribution in similar habitats in the Himalayas. Description The lichen forms dark brown squamulose rosettes up to in diameter. Its thallus is coral-like in form and has a multilayer cortex with a compact layer of cyanobionts. Its ascospores, which number 8 per ascus, are spindle-shaped (fusiform) and often curved, divided by 6 to 8 septa, and measure 40–60 by 4–5 μm. No secondary chemicals were detected with the use of thin-layer chromatography, and all of the standard chemical spot tests are negative. Arctomia teretiuscula is similar in appearance to Arctomia delicatula—the type species of genus Arctomia—found in western and northern Europe. The main visible difference between the two is the coralloid thallus of A. teretiuscula compared to the granular thallus of its European counterpart; other anatomical differences between the two become apparent when their internal microscopic structures are compared.

The Unverified List (UVL) is a trade restriction list published by the United States Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), consisting of certain foreign persons, entities, or governments. Inclusion in the UVL is commonly confused with listings in the similar but separate Entity List or Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List which are separate trade restriction lists. Inclusion in the Unverified List is not regarded as punitive nor intended to punish a party for violating laws or regulations. Rather, "Foreign persons who are parties to an export, re-export, and (in-country) transfer subject to the EAR may be added to the Unverified List if the BIS or federal officials acting on its behalf cannot verify the bona fides (i.e., legitimacy and reliability about the end-use and end-user of items subject to the EAR) of such persons because an end-use check, such as a pre-license check (PLC) or a post-shipment verification (PSV), cannot be satisfactorily completed for reasons outside of the U.S. Government's control." The UVL is regulated by 15 CFR Ch. VII § 744.15 and may be found in Supplement No. 6 to Part 744. Changes to the UVL are published along with all other US government business in the Federal Register and codified annually along with all other federal regulations. Effect Exporters can no longer seek license exemptions for items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EARs) for exports to any foreign persons, entities, or governments listed in the UVL. In addition, exporters of items subject to (EARs) which do not require a license must obtain a UVL statement from the listed entity and file an Automated Export System record for all exports. In contrast, entities listed on the SDN list are barred completely from any transactions with the U.S., and an export license is required for any and all items subject to EARs for entities listed on the Entity List. Delisting The BIS typically administers delisting requests from entities listed on the UVL. The BIS removes listings from the UVL when the BIS can verify the bona fides of the listed person as an end-user, consignee, or another party to exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) involving items subject to the EAR by completing a pre-license check (PLC) or a post-shipment verification (PSV). In contrast, removal of entities from the Entity List is administered by the End-User Review Committee (ERC), which is composed of representatives from the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy, and where appropriate, the Treasury.

The Antico Stabilimento Balneare (Ancient Bathing Establishment) located in Mondello, a seaside borough north of Palermo, Sicily, is a art noveau or Liberty-style building atop piers of the beach in the town. The term balneare is related to the Spanish and Portuguese Balneario which is either a swimming or beach establishment, but also with affinities to spas, with amenities such as changing rooms, cabanas, bathrooms, and eating establishments. The present structure with colorful and fanciful decorations with turrets and spires was designed by Rudolf Stualker. It stands upon cement pylons embedded in the bay. Originally this structure was intended for the Belgian city of Ostend. The beachfront area of Mondello until the end of the 19th century was a malaria-afflicted swamp, with a seashore used by fishermen. Drained during the last decade of 1890, much of the area was leased to a Belgian company, Les Tramways de Palerme, who not only established a trolley connecting this suburb to Palermo, but electrified the area, which became populated with pleasure villas. This company financed construction of the structure, built with reinforced concrete, and it was inaugurated in 1912. Construction was performed by the firm of Giovanni Rutelli, son of the sculptor Mario Rutelli. The interior furniture was designed by the firm of Vittorio Ducrot and Ernesto Basile. The establishment was highly popular during its first three decades. But during the Second World War, the facility was occupied first by the Italian, then the German, then the Allied army, and much of the furniture was extracted. Since the 1990s a refurbishment has aimed to restore much of the structure and decorations. The site now houses a restaurant and hosts beachside activities.

Charles Atkins was a 15-year-old African-American boy who was lynched in Davisboro, Washington County, Georgia by a mob on May 18, 1922. According to the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary it was the 25th of 61 lynchings during 1922 in the United States. Background Mrs. Elizabeth "Billy" Kitchens, 20, served as a rural mail carrier. While driving her car, from Davisboro, someone pushed their way into her vehicle, placed a shotgun against her head and fired, killing her instantly. Her body was then dragged away. A local farmer, Sid Lewis, found the body 30 minutes after the shooting and informed Sheriff English at Sandersville, Georgia. Lynching A mob made up of 2,000 people found Charles Atkins in Elizabeth Kitchens's car. Around 6:00 PM, May 18, 1922, he was tortured with fire until he confessed to allegedly killing Elizabeth Kitchens for her automobile. He then implicated another boy, John Henry Tarver. Atkins was then hanged and his charred body was shot over 200 times. Hundreds of cars then swarmed the county looking for Tarver and another Black person, George Clark, who had been seen with Tarver. National memorial The National Memorial for Peace and Justice opened in Montgomery, Alabama, on April 26, 2018. Featured among other things is the Memorial Corridor which displays 805 hanging steel rectangles, each representing the counties in the United States where a documented lynching took place and, for each county, the names of those lynched. The memorial hopes that communities, like Washington County, Georgia where Charles Atkins was lynched, will take these slabs and install them in their own communities.

The Bini-Portuguese Ivory Salt cellar is an article for holding and dispensing salt. This small sculpture in the picture depicts four Portuguese figures, two of higher class and the other two are possibly guards protecting them. In the 16th century Portuguese visitors ordered ivory salt cellars and ivory spoons like this, specifically this Afro-Portuguese ivory salt cellar was carved in a Benin court ivory. These kinds of ivory arts were commissioned and exported initially from Sierra Leone and later Benin City, Nigeria. During the age of exploration European powers expanded their trade and efforts towards establishing trade posts in the New World, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In the kingdom of Benin and other surrounding states hunted for elephant tusks. Which they transformed into trophies and other decorative pieces. Portuguese sailors disembarked from their caravels to buy goods for trading like ivory, gold, and others. These goods were taken from markets to colonial outposts to Portugal and then traded within European markets. During the 16th and 17th century countries that participated in colonialism reaped the economical benefits from its international trade. Visual Description The salt cellar is created with ivory from the Kingdom of Benin decorated with four Portuguese voyager statues. On the salt cellar the figures form a circular base, holding a bowl that is used to contain salt atop their heads. The amount and type of decoration indicates that this piece was created in a Benin court. Two of the four male figures are from clearly from a higher class compared to the other two that have less ornaments in their possession. The men on the front and on the back are dressed with regal clothes with a necklace with a cross necklace, this indicates that they are European Christian. In addition they are wearing hats and holding spears in their left hand. The style used to carve the ivory piece is of a grotesque style. In Afro-Portuguese ivories there are three African elements that are fundamental to call piece African art, a focus on the human figure, an enunciation of the parts and a preference for pure geometric forms. Individuals are presented as the main subject in African art usually depicting an important figure like royalty or a deity, this is shown in the ivory salt cellar and other Benin bronzes. The faces of each man are bigger with their long beards and deep eyes than their body while keeping their proportions in check. The geometry of the pattern of the men's clothing, the socket of the spear is another example where this geometry is repeated. Background The kingdom of Benin existed in the southwestern region of Nigeria in modern Edo state, Nigeria. According to scholars the kingdom of Benin (also known as the Edo Kingdom, or the Benin Empire) originated around the year 900 by the Ogiso kings, it is said between the eleventh and the thirteenth a member from the Oba dynasty would take control of the state.This dynasty would rule until 1897 when the British occupied the kingdom of Benin in February 9th. The kingdom reached its peak during the rule of Ewuare the Great, he ruled from 1440 to 1473. King Ewuare expanded its natural borders and introduced wood and ivory carving to the kingdom. One of the first recorded visits to Benin City was made by Portuguese explorer, João Afonso de Aveiro in 1486. After contact with the Portuguese the Benin Kingdom established a strong mercantile relationship with Portugal and later other European states. They traded slaves and Beninese products such as ivory, pepper, gold and palm oil for European goods such as manillas, metals and guns. In addition they established diplomatic relations in the late 15th century, the Oba sent an ambassador to Lisbon, and the king of Portugal sent Christian missionaries to Benin City in 1486. The salt cellar was carved for a Portuguese nobleman to put it on his dining table. Ivory salt cellars and ivory spoons where common pieces of art that Portuguese sailors paid payments in form of ivory spoons and salt cellars returned with after trading in West African countries. There are no records of the order for this commission but it is believed that a Benin Ivory carver produced this in the Benin Kingdom, in modern day Nigeria. References Wikipedia Student Program

Smart Agriculture Competition is an annual greenhouse challenge and agricultural productivity competition launched by the largest agriculture technology platform Pinduoduo to encourage the use of data-driven tools to improve agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. The competition has the support of The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR), which are providing technical guidance. It is co-organized by China Agricultural University and Zhejiang University. Foundation Agriculture-focused technology platform Pinduoduo hosted the inaugural competition in 2020, which attracted hundreds of young digital agricultural scientists from over 10 countries as well as many top growers in China to cultivate strawberries using artificial intelligence technology in greenhouses. The competition was judged by experts from countries including the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Italy and China. According to The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), "In 2020’s inaugural competition, the four technology teams employed data analysis, intelligent sensors and greenhouse automation to grow strawberries, and its output weight was 196% higher than that of the traditional farmers’ team on average. They also outperformed the traditional teams in terms of cost effectiveness by an average of 75.5%. Two of the technology teams have started to commercialize their technology after the competition, resulting in real-life gains in productivity for local farmers." In 2020’s inaugural competition CyberFarmer-HortiGraph, announced as the winners of the inaugural Pinduoduo Smart Agriculture Competition-2020. It was reported that the "CyberFarmer-HortiGraph team outperformed traditional farmers by using algorithms and state-of-art greenhouse technology to remotely grow the best strawberry crops with the highest economic benefit". Current competition 2021 In August 2021, The Smart Agriculture Competition-2021 was announced. Four finalist teams TomaGrow, HortiAI, CyberTomato, Hamato have been selected from 15 international teams for the final round of the Smart Agriculture Competition taking place at Pinduoduo's smart greenhouse base. The teams have to grow tomatoes within six months using various technologies such as nutritional modeling, growing environment control, and algorithmic controls to produce high-quality, nutritious, and high-yield tomatoes through green and sustainable practices. The teams must also demonstrate the commercial viability of their solutions. Among the teams that took part in the competition is one from the University of Southern Denmark. The competition is an opportunity for the Danish agricultural community to learn more about China and contribute to its agricultural modernization drive, according to Thomas Hansen, the Danish Attache for Higher Education, Science, and Innovation to China.

Chernihiv (U205) was a Grisha II-class anti-submarine corvette of the Ukrainian Navy. Prior to joining the Ukrainian Navy she was a former Soviet Navy corvette named Izmail. Development and design The 1124P project corvette (NATO reporting name: Grisha I class, Soviet classification: MPK-147 class ) were intended to counter enemy submarines in nearby area of naval bases, ports and scattered berths, on the deployment of naval forces to carry out anti-submarine surveillance and protection of ships and vessels at sea. Project 1124 of the first series were armed with SAM Osa-M in the bow of the hull. One twin AK-725 gun was located in the stern. Control of firing AK-725 was carried out by the MR-103 Leopard radar with a maximum detection range of 40 km, which was also located on the stern superstructure. The MR-302 Rubka radar was installed as a radar for detecting air and surface targets on the ship's mast. The basis of the sonar consisted of submersible GAS MG-322 Argun (operated in echo direction-finding mode) and lowered GAS MG-339 Shelon in the stern superstructure, which operated only in the "stop" mode. The basis of anti-submarine weapons were located two twin torpedo tubes for DTA-5E-1124 and two RBU-6000 on the bow of the ship's superstructure. Construction of small anti-submarine ships on Project 1124 began in 1967 at the Zelenodolsk Shipyard. A total of twelve ships of this project were built, after which they were replaced by the corvettes of Project 1124 of the second series (Grisha-III according to NATO reporting name). Construction and career The corvette Izmail was laid down on 12 December 1978 at the Zelenodolsk Shipyard, Zelenodolsk. The ship was launched on 22 June 1980. The ship was relocated to Balaklava to undergo sea trial and commissioned on 28 December 1980. Service in the Soviet Border Troops Izmail was assigned to the 5th separate Balaklava brigade of border patrol ships of the Western Central Committee of the KGB of the USSR. The flag of the Naval Border Troops was raised on the ship on 17 February 1981. The corvette participated in the protection of the state border, the economic zone of the USSR and fishing off the coast of the Crimean peninsula in the Black Sea. From 1981 to 1989 the vessel served in the army for 1,053 days. Izmail inspected 5,459 vessels, detained 296 of them, including 14 foreign schooners. Twice, on 10 March 1986, and 12 February 1988, as part of the KUG, together with ships of the Black Sea Fleet, the corvette took part in the expulsion from territorial waters a detachment of US Navy warships (cruiser and destroyer ). In April 1986, as part of the PSKR group (Izmail, , ), while searching for a foreign transmitter in the area of Cape Tarkhankut, the vessel established contact with an unidentified submarine (as it later became known ) and accompanied the sub for 22 hours. Komsomolets of Georgia and Kyiv Komsomolets accompanied the boat to the Port of Eregli. In June 1992, he became a member of the Naval Units of the State Border Protection Committee of Ukraine, where the corvette also actively participated in the protection of the state border. In February 1992, the ship detained the first Turkish schooner, Chinakchi-Oğulları, which poached flounder in the Ukrainian economic zone. Until 1996, Izmail repeatedly participated in operations against foreign poachers. Service in the Ukrainian Navy At the end of 1995, a decision was made at the governmental level to transfer the Project 1124P ships to the Ukrainian Navy by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. In January 1996, Izmail together with the Dnipro were transferred to the Ukrainian Navy. The ships were accepted in a satisfactory technical condition: given the specifics of the maritime border service, the ships rarely used sonar equipment, mine and torpedo weapons. Only the mechanical running gear and the armament of the missile and artillery combat unit were actively used. The Ukrainian naval flag was hoisted on the ship on 19 January 1996. The ship was reclassified into a corvette and renamed Chernihiv. The change of the ship's name was agreed with the Chernihiv City Administration, whose representatives arrived in Sevastopol on 19 January to congratulate the sailors on raising the battle flag. The consecration of the flag of Chernihiv took place on the same day on the feast of the Epiphany. For some time, both border and naval crews were on the ship. Officers, midshipmen and sailors for the Chernihiv crew were recruited from various ships, as well as from other types of retrained Armed Forces. Due to lack of funding and the impossibility of dock repairs, the Chernihiv was excluded from the fleet and written off in 2005. Before the ship was written off, the name Izmail was returned, and the name Chernihiv was given to the minesweeper of the Project 266M. The corvette was sold as scrap ferrous and non-ferrous metals of OJSC MetProm. In April 2010, a corvette sank while dismantling a hull in Lake Donuzlav.

William Denholm Kennedy (1813 – 1865) was a Scottish historical, genre and landscape painter. William Denholm Kennedy, born at Dumfries on 16 June 1813, was educated in early life at Edinburgh. When seventeen years of age he came to London, and in 1833 entered the school of the Royal Academy. Here he began a lifelong friendship with William Etty, , who sensibly influenced his style as an artist. In 1833 he sent his first pictures to the Royal Academy, A Musical Party and The Toilet, and continued to exhibit there almost every year until his death. In 1835 he won the Academy gold medal for an historical painting, Apollo and Idas, and in 1840, being awarded the travelling allowance, went to Italy, where he spent two years in study at Rome. He returned with many sketches and studies of Italian scenery, and an Italian influence was subsequently visible in his work, especially in such pictures as The Bandit Mother, The Italian Goatherd, The Land of Poetry and Song, and others. Kennedy, however, failed to fulfil his early promise, and his work deteriorated. He died suddenly at his house in Soho Square on 2 June 1865. Kennedy was a cultivated man, fond of music, and a good judge of etchings and engravings. His subjects for painting embraced almost everything except portraiture. He occasionally exhibited at the other leading exhibitions besides the Academy. He frequently assisted Thomas Willement with designs for stained glass, among others those for the windows in St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London.

Karl Jobst (born 7 February 1986) is an Australian GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark speedrunner, YouTuber, and investigative journalist whose work has focused on exposing cheating and fraud in the gaming community. He also covers other speedrunning and challenge-related feats, such as world record histories. Speedrunning career Jobst set the speedrunning world record for the first level and hardest difficulty of Goldeneye 007 on 2 December 2017, completing the run in 52 seconds, beating a 53-second record set by Bryan Bosshardt on 27 September 2002. This feat was described by Owen S. Good of gaming magazine Polygon as "akin to the sub-four minute mile, multiplied by breaking the sound barrier." He is ranked third by number of Goldeneye 007 world records by the game's speedrunning authority. Jobst maintained world records in Perfect Dark from 10 November 2002 – 24 December 2003, 26 July 2016 – 30 July 2016, 31 July 2016 – 19 March 2020, and 21 March 2020 – 25 March 2020 (Tied). In late 2021, Jobst started a speedrunning podcast called The Legends Postcast. In September 2021, Jobst was accused of racism and supporting white supremacy after images of messages from rwhitegoose's Discord server were leaked, which included a message by Jobst. The allegations led to speedrunner Tomatoanus distancing himself from Jobst, including cancelling future episodes of their podcast and having previous episodes taken down. In a video, Jobst denied the allegations, claiming that messages had been taken out of context. Investigative work Heritage Auctions and Wata Games allegations On 23 August 2021, Jobst released a YouTube documentary alleging fraud and conflict of interest between Heritage Auctions, a company selling retro video games for record-breaking prices (including a copy of Super Mario Bros. for over ), Wata Games, an agency that grades rare games, and video game collectors with the intention of manufacturing a bubble of retro games. Jobst alleged that Wata CEO Deniz Kahn and Heritage Auctions co-founder Jim Halperin of manipulating the market through press releases and television appearances on Pawn Stars while limiting the availability of information by purchasing and shutting down retro gaming site NintendoAge. Wata Games denied the claims immediately after Jobst published the video. In a statement made to Video Games Chronicle, Heritage Auctions responded to Jobst's video by saying they had not engaged in any illegal activity. Badabun allegations In December 2017, Mexican media network Badabun uploaded a video purportedly showing network member Tavo Betancourt speedrunning Super Mario Bros. in record time. Jobst uploaded a video in January 2020 revealing that the Badabun video had been faked, showing various inconsistencies and irregularities found within the alleged speedrun footage and demonstrating that the footage came from stolen and spliced runs from actual world record holders in the game. Billy Mitchell allegations American gamer Billy Mitchell was accused by Jobst of cheating to obtain his records in the arcade games Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, allegations that had already been made for years. Mitchell sued Jobst for defamation, seeking damages of $450,000, having also sued YouTuber Benjamin Smith, known as Apollo Legend, and speedrunning site Twin Galaxies for similar grievances. Jobst's allegations against Mitchell also included claims that Mitchell's lawsuit against Smith contributed to his poor mental health and suicide. Guitar Hero speedrun cheating In January 2022, Jobst alleged in a video that a well-known Guitar Hero speedrunner and world-record holder called Schmooey had cheated to obtain his records, faking video with prerecorded segments and footage splicing. Jobst's video went viral, and Schmooey responded by confirming his video records were entirely falsified. Other investigations Jobst has covered other cheating scandals in the gaming community, including an incident of cheating by the biggest Minecraft speedrunner Dream which resulted in his records being struck from the leaderboard. In August 2019, Jobst reported on the world record of E1M1, the first level of Doom, that had recently been broken by 4shockblast. The record had stood for over 20 years.

The Battle of Kyiv is an ongoing military battle for control of the capital city of Ukraine, Kyiv; as part of Russia's Kyiv offensive in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Hostilities began on February 25, 2022, the day after the beginning of the Russian invasion. Battle 25 February On the morning of 25 February, three Russian saboteurs dressed as Ukrainian soldiers entered Obolon District. This northern district is about from the Verkhovna Rada building where the Parliament of Ukraine meets. The three saboteurs were killed by Ukrainian forces. Later in the morning, a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter was shot down over the city, crashing into an apartment building. Throughout the day, gunfire was heard throughout several wards of the city; Ukrainian officials described the gunfire as arising from clashes with Russian troops. Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, vowed to take up arms and fight. His brother Wladimir Klitschko expressed the same sentiments, having joined the reservists months earlier. Russian armed forces have been entrenched at Antonov Airport, which is located in the Kyivan suburb of Hostomel. As part of the Battle of Antonov Airport, control of the airport has changed hands twice. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urged the people of Kyiv to respond to the Russian assault with molotov cocktails. 18,000 guns have been distributed amongst citizens. The Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, normally kept in reserve, have also been activated. There was heavy gunfire in Kyiv on the night of 25 February. The Ukrainian armed forces claim to have killed around 60 Russian saboteurs. 26 February On the morning of 26 February, Russian artillery shelled the city for more than 30 minutes. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces repelled an attack on a power plant in the northeastern neighborhood of Troieshchyna; the BBC suggested that the attack could have been an "effort to deprive the city of electricity". Heavy fighting also occurred near the Kyiv Zoo in the central Shuliavka neighborhood, where Ukrainian forces defended an army base on Prospect Peremohy. Fighting also took place on other streets throughout Kyiv. Residents were warned to avoid windows and balconies. According to Zelenskyy, Ukrainian forces managed to repel the Russian offensive and continue to hold the city and surrounding major cities. Curfew was extended from 5 pm to 8 am and violators were to be considered a part of "Russian saboteur or reconnaissance groups". According to the British Ministry of Defence, the bulk of Russian forces was from the center of Kyiv. The Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces is responsible for mobilizing volunteers. Ukrainian Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky stated that volunteers in Kyiv had been given more than 25,000 assault rifles, about 10 million bullets, and rocket-propelled grenades and launchers. 27 February Over the early morning of 27 February, there were some clashes with Russian saboteurs in Kyiv. Local officials claimed that Kyiv remained fully controlled by Ukrainian forces by the morning. In the evening of 27 February, the Associated Press reported that Klitschko had stated that the city was surrounded. However, Klitschko's spokesperson later told the The Kyiv Independent that the mayor had misspoken and that reports of Kyiv being encircled were false. Later that morning, a rocket fell and exploded in the courtyard of a 16-story building located in Troieshchyna, causing 7 cars to catch fire. According to Ukrainian officials, the missile was fired by a Russian strategic bomber from Belarus. On the night of 27 February, a Russian convoy attempted to set up base at the Syrets Metro, resulting in a deadly clash with Ukrainian soldiers. Russian troops also fired at a Ukrainian military bus, resulting in an unknown amount of casualties. 28 February A new wave of Russian troops advanced towards the city, but little direct combat occurred, and only three missiles were fired at Kyiv that day. Satellite images recorded by Maxar Technologies recorded a long column of Russian vehicles heading to Kyiv south along a long highway approaching Kyiv from the north, and was approximately from the center of Kyiv. Ukrainian authorities shot an Israeli-Ukrainian citizen who they mistook for a Chechen member of the Russian army. The Russian Defence Ministry issued a warning to civilians that they intended to target Ukrainian transmission facilities around Kyiv and that all nearby residents should leave the area. That night Russian missiles were fired at a military base in Brovary, causing a massive fire. 1 March Russian troops bombed the Kyiv TV Tower, cutting off television broadcasts and killing five people. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry condemned the airstrike. The Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center confirmed reports that a second missile had accidentally hit the nearby memorial for the Babi Yar massacre. Shelling hit the neighbourhoods of Rusanivka, Boyarka and Kurenivka. Reports also circulated that Russian troops had attacked the nearby town of Vyshneve.

Jean Baptiste Charlemagne-Baudet (Russian: Жан-Батист Шарлемань-Боде, 1734, Rouen - 26 August 1789, Saint Petersburg) was a French-Russian ornamental sculptor. Biography In 1777, he moved to Russia; one of the many artists invited there by Catherine the Great to provide decorative works for the new Imperial residence (now known as the Catherine Palace), in Tsarskoye Selo. In addition to his work there, he provided decorations for numerous other country palaces, as well as in the large church at the Winter Palace, the Church of St. Catherine, the museum at the Imperial Academy of Arts, and several other locations. The academy accepted him as a candidate for the title of "Academician" in 1785. His entry for consideration was a large marble vase, with fruits and flowers, which was installed on the balustrade in the conference hall at the academy. For some reason that has not been determined, the awarding of the title was delayed until 1794; five years after his death. The posthumous certificate was presented to his heirs. He was interred at Volkovo Cemetery. His sons, Iosif and Ludwig, became architects. His daughter, Marguerite, married the Italian-born architect, Luigi Rusca.

A hydraulic modular trailer is a special platform trailer unit which feature swing axles, hydraulic suspension, independently steerable axles, two or more axle rows, compatible to join two or more units longitudinally and laterally and uses power pack unit to steer and adjust height. These trailer units are used to transport oversized load, which are difficult to disassemble and are overweight. These trailers are manufactured using high tensile steel, which makes it possible to bear the weight of the load with the help of one more ballast tractors which push and pull these units via drawbar or gooseneck together making a heavy hauler. Typical loads include oil rig modules, bridge sections, buildings, ship sections, and industrial machinery such as generators and turbines. There is a limited number of manufacturers who produce these heavy-duty trailers because the market share of oversized loads is very thin when we talk about transportation industry. There are self powered units of hydraulic modular trailer which are called SPMT which are used when the ballast tractors can not be applied.

The Battle of Kherson is an ongoing military engagement which began on 24 February 2022, as part of the Kherson offensive during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Battle 24 February Russian forces invaded Kherson Oblast from the south through Crimea. By the evening of 24 February, Russian forces reached the city of Kherson and had secured the Antonovskiy Bridge, which would give them a strategic crossing over the Dnieper River and towards the important junction city of Mykolaiv. 25 February By the early hours of 25 February, Ukrainian forces recaptured the bridge. The battle was described as being very fierce and left dead soldiers as well as several destroyed military vehicles lying on the bridge. This forced the Russian forces to push north to the next closest crossing of the Dnieper, the city of Nova Kakhovka, which they captured. Later on 25 February, Russian troops once again seized the Antonovskiy Bridge. 26 February On 26 February, according to mayor Igor Kolykhaev, Russian troops pulled back from Kherson after a Ukrainian air strike on Russian armored vehicles, leaving the city under Ukrainian control. A Ukrainian official later claimed that a Russian army column was defeated by Ukrainian forces near the town of Oleshky, just south of Kherson. The Ukrainian Prosecutor General, Iryna Venediktova, claimed that on 26 February, Russian forces killed a journalist and ambulance driver near the village of Zelenivka, a northern suburb of Kherson. 27 February On the morning of 27 February, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Russian military had encircled the city and, according to Ukrainian officials, Russian forces captured a part of the city, including Kherson International Airport. Later in the morning, the Ukrainian Air Force allegedly conducted a successful drone strike against Russian forces in the village of Chornobayivka, just to the north of Kherson. Ukrainian officials allege that beginning on 27 February, Russian forces began moving civilians from nearby villages towards Kherson, in what Ukrainian forces claim is an attempt by the Russians to use civilians as human shields. 1 March In the early morning of 1 March, Ukrainian officials claimed that Russian forces had begun assaulting Kherson and were advancing from the Kherson International Airport to the highway between Kherson and Mykolaiv. The Russian forces surrounded the city and reached the highway, advancing up to the village of Komyshany before setting up a checkpoint. Video footage surfaced showing Russian troops patrolling the streets of Kherson. References Battles of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Battles in 2022 History of Kherson Oblast

Hortense Cornu (; 8 April 1809 - 16 May 1875) was a French socialite, salonnière, writer, and translator who played a significant role in the culture and politics of the French Second Empire. The goddaughter and foster-sister of Napoléon III, their lifelong relationship was his "closest and most lasting friendship with a woman." As an avowed Republican, she clashed with the Emperor over his authoritarianism and was estranged from him for a period of time after his 1851 coup d'état, but in the end "no political differences were allowed to mar their friendship, which was deep and true..." She advocated various French archaeological expeditions and, amongst other contributions, was involved in founding the National Archaeological Museum, France. Early life Albine Hortense Lacroix was born at the Palais Cerutti in Paris, the daughter of Marie Désirée Savreux and Martin Lacroix. Marie was a lady-in-waiting to Hortense de Beauharnais, and Martin was the Maître d'hôtel of the household. Her brother was the architect Eugène Lacroix. The elder Hortense and her infant son Louis-Napoléon, only one year older than Hortense Lacroix, were chosen as her godparents. The two children were raised together as foster-siblings and shared an education until Hortense was 14. In 1834, Hortense married the painter Sébastien Cornu. Relationship with Napoleon III Before his rise to power, Cornu served as research assistant and advisor to Louis Napoléon during his imprisonment at Ham. She brought him the necessary books for his writing, including works on the working class in France. Blanchard Jerrold wrote that "He sought her opinion and deferred very often to her judgment. The warmth with which he thanked her again and again for her zeal and her intelligent execution of his literary and scientific commissions, the delicacy with which he endeavoured repeatedly, but always in vain, to compel her acceptance of some of the pecuniary results of his writings, testify at once to the high value and thorough unselfishness of her work." The two friends suffered a falling out in the aftermath of Louis-Napoleon's coup d'état on 2 December 1851. As a Republican, Cornu was dismayed by Napoléon's violent overthrow of the Second French Republic. When he came to visit her at Vincennes in the wake of the coup, she told him from the top of the stairs that "she would not receive an assassin." The rupture lasted for twelve years, although Hortense broke her silence to write and congratulate the Emperor on the birth of his son, the Prince Imperial, in 1856. She also served once again to help him in his writings, this time on his Life of Caesar, and also served as an intermediary between the Emperor and a group of young writers of her acquaintance, including Ernest Renan and Léon Renier. She told one man, Nassan Senior, that "the destruction of our liberties, the massacres of 1851, the transportations of 1852, the reprisals by Orsini, rise before me, and I have a horror of being embraced by a man covered with the blood of so many friends." Only in 1863, after she received a letter from the Emperor asking her to visit the Tuileries Palace and meet the young prince, did she relent and reestablish her friendship with the Emperor. This time, "she became convinced that he still genuinely leaned toward liberalism, which she saw as the key to perpetuating the dynasty." Cornu became a regular fixture at the palace, visiting two or three times a week. Her advice held much sway with Louis-Napoleon, who once said that "it's Hortense who gives me all my good ideas." In 1870, Napoléon tasked her with working out a plan for profit-sharing for mining workers. One tribute to her, written after her death, stated that "she only made use of her influence with the emperor to repair and to prevent injustice, and she refused to accept a fortune from him, saying that she wished to preserve the right of telling him the truth." According to Maxime du Camp "...there was in her a liberal fund, where often she drew the strength to combat the too authoritarian counsels of which the 'entourage' was not stingy...very often she intervened to soften the punishments incurred from political offenses." Du Camp also credited her with championing Émile Ollivier, a liberal deputy who would become Louis-Napoléon's Prime Minister in 1869. In regards to foreign policy, Cornu was one of several people close to the Emperor who fervently supported Italian nationalism. According to the Empress Eugénie, it was Cornu who suggested her friend Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen to the Emperor as a candidate for the Romanian throne. Writings Under the pseudonym of Sébastien Albin, Cornu published articles in various periodicals. In 1841 she published her translations of German popular chants and ballads (Ballades et chants populaires de l'Allemagne) and in 1848 wrote an article on the history of Italian art for the "Encyclopédie Moderne". She also contributed to the Revue du Nord in Metz, the Revue indépendante, and the Dictionnaire de la conversation. In 1841, Cornu translated the works of Benjamin Franklin into French (Mémoires complets, oeuvres morales et littéraires de B. Franklin). In 1843, she translated the correspondence between Goethe and Bettina von Arnim into French under the Albin pseudonym (Goethe et Bettina), and later arranged for Gustave Flaubert's Salammbô (1862) to be translated into German by one of her friends. Cultural influence Cornu promoted various archaeological expeditions in the Middle East and was the only woman to be admitted to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. Through her intervention, Renan was put in charge of an expedition to ancient Phoenicia. She also played an important role in establishing the National Archaeological Museum, France at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, helping to recruit archaeologists for the new institution. She was one of those responsible for convincing Napoléon III to purchase part of the Campana Collection. She also convinced the Emperor to purchase the papers of the antiquarian Bartolomeo Borghesi; her protégé Ernest Desjardins was entrusted with concluding the transaction and publishing the papers. According to Renan, Cornu had a particularly successful influence in the sphere of educational reform: "The creation of several courses...at the College of France, the establishment of the School for Higher Studies, many scientific missions - some of which were very fruitful - a new impulse imparted to the acquisition of objects of antiquity, a great number of publications undertaken with the justest feeling of the requirements of erudition, marked a new era...all this belonged to her indirectly, since it was under her influence that the Emperor entered into the direction of ideas which rendered the second half of his reign a very brilliant epoch for critical studies." Later life In 1870, at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, Cornu retired to a small house she owned in Longpont-sur-Orge. Her husband died that same year, and she herself became increasingly infirm due to a heart condition. According to Ernest Renan, "this woman, to whom so many people owed their lives and fortunes, found herself in a state bordering on privation...If some of her friends had not made her understand that her poverty would be an insupportable reproach to them, she would have died in destitution." She died at Longpont on 16 May 1875. Cornu preserved all the letters "she had thought worthy of preservation" from Napoleon III, and gave a handful of them to his biographer Blanchard Jerrold. After her death, some 197 were obtained by Seymour de Ricci, who was forbidden by the French government from publishing them until 1908.

George William Lovell (1804 – 13 May 1878) was an English dramatist and novelist. His most successful play was The Wife's Secret, staged at the Haymarket Theatre with Charles Kean and his wife Ellen in the principal roles, and revived several times. Life Lovell was for many years secretary of the Phœnix Insurance Company, but devoted his leisure to writing plays. His first play was The Avenger, produced at the Surrey Theatre in 1835, when Samuel Butler represented the chief character. This was followed by The Provost of Bruges, with William Macready as the hero, at Covent Garden in February 1836. The play was founded on The Serf, a story in Leitch Ritchie's Romance of History, and attained great popularity. A novel, The Trustee, appeared in 1841, and further advanced Lovell's literary fame; Love's Sacrifice, or the Rival Merchants, a five-act drama, was brought out at Covent Garden in September 1842, under Charles Kemble's management, and the comedy Look before you Leap, at the Haymarket Theatre in October 1846. Lovell's most famous play, The Wife's Secret, was purchased by Charles Kean for £400 before a line of it was written. It was originally produced at the Park Theatre, New York, in October 1846, and was brought out in London at the Haymarket in January 1848, when it ran for 36 nights, with Mr and Mrs Kean in the principal roles. There were revivals in 1850 at the Princess's Theatre and in 1861 at Drury Lane, with further revivals during the following years. A reviewer of the original London production wrote that the play "is a plain story effectively told, with the advantage that the ruling sentiment, though often treated before, is one that is sure to appeal to a large portion of an audience." (The Times, 18 January 1848.) His last drama was The Trial of Love, acted at the Princess's Theatre in January 1852, with Mr and Mrs Kean in the lead roles; it ran for 23 nights. Lovell married in 1830 Maria Ann Lacy, an actress. On her marriage she retired from the stage, and wrote the plays Ingomar the Barbarian and The Beginning and the End. The majority of Lovell's dramatic pieces were printed. He died at his home in Hampstead, London on 13 May 1878, in his seventy-fifth year. He left at least one daughter and one son, William Henry Lovell. References Attribution 1812 births 1896 deaths 19th-century English dramatists and playwrights 19th-century English novelists
Sweden Finns' Day (Swedish: Sverigefinnarnas dagen) is an anniversary celebrated in Sweden on 24 February. The anniversary of the calendar was approved by the Swedish Academy in 2010 and was celebrated for the first time in 2011. February 24 was chosen as the birthday of Carl Axel Gottlund, a collector of folk poetry and a defender of the status of the Finnish language. The purpose of the day is to celebrate the existence of a minority of Sweden Finns and their history, language and culture as a prominent part of Sweden's cultural heritage. Most of the municipalities in the Finnish-speaking area raise their flags on public holidays, and almost all of them fly the flag of a Swedish-Finn. However, this is not an official flag day. The holiday is celebrated all over Sweden, including Stockholm, Eskilstuna, Gothenburg, Västerås and Nykvarn. The day's program has included concerts, dance performances, writer visits, karaoke dances and theater performances for children. For example, in 2017, more than a thousand people attended the celebration at Stockholm City Hall. In 2013 in particular, the celebration was significant in many places, when the day was celebrated with official ceremonies for the first time. In 2019, a seal was voted by Swedish radio as symbolic animal of Swedish Finns.

Mani joined the faculty of MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas in 2007 and was promoted to Professor with Tenure. His laboratory investigates how cancer cells develop to become metastatic. Mani was the first to demonstrate that cancer cells acquire stem cell properties by activating the EMT program, which allows them to survive better in the blood and establish a metastasis histopathologically similar to that of the parental primary tumor. In this highly influential article, Mani and colleagues identified various novel attributes of metastatic cancer cells and provided the foundation and an explanation for the presence of cellular plasticity within the tumor. Mani and his team continue to investigate ways to treat metastasis.

After 24 hours of release, the audio teaser reached nearly 1.5 million views with 36,000 comments. On the afternoon of September 22, 2020, Jack and the management company Nomad MGMT Vietnam held a press conference to launch the product. Sharing at the press conference, the male singer said that it took 6 months with the crew to complete this MV. Jack shared: Talking about the meaning of the name Hoa hải đường of this song, Jack revealed: At exactly 20:00 on September 22, 2020, MV Hoa Hai Duong was officially released in the form of a premiere, immediately the MV achieved many achievements. Story In the MV of Hoa hải đường, Jack is a wanderer on a journey to find the truth about his slander. Jack falls in love with a girl with a tattoo of the Hai Duong flower on her chest, who he believes is a victim embroiled in his slander. There was a time when Vietnamese artists produced MVs either to tell a story they liked or to illustrate the song's content in a silly way. However, watching the music video for Begonias, the audience finds certain connections between the story, the song, and sometimes even Jack himself. The shape and appearance of Linh Chi - the female lead in the MV, perfectly recreated a begonia flower: red, fragrant, delicate and pure petals. Begonia flowers are often compared to a beautiful girl with a sexy, springtime look. MV Hoa Hai Duong has an ancient, martial arts background, but it's interesting that Jack, Linh Chi and the entire organization behind the slander are dressed in modern costumes, fighting each other with their signature Lightsaber (light saber). from the movie Star Wars and Jack's costume is inspired by the Ninja Turtles. In the MV, real and virtual scenes, actions and techniques are intertwined to create an impressive surreal world. A clear fantasy product, in the true sense of the word, without the name or label "inspired by history". The technique allows Jack to summon a griffin to fight the oligarch. In addition, the griffin is a combination of the eagle - the king of birds, and the lion - the lord of the beasts, symbolizing power and strength, protecting people from evil and lies. That griffin appeared the moment Jack discovered that Linh Chi was the person next to the oligarch of the organization behind his slander. MV Hoa Hai Duong with the participation of DTAP in the music production stage, director Khuong Vu is in charge of the visuals and Jack personally participates in the Mix & Master stage. The intro opens with ancient paintings, showing that the folk music of the Five Palaces really leaves an impression in the drop, dotted in the middle of the mainstream EDM electronic music scene. Thanks to the sound of the ancient organ, Hoa Hai Duong is still a world music version with electronic music. But the electronic sound is too prominent with the future bass harmony style, a line that is very popular when combined with folk materials. EDM's future bass line has contributed to Son Tung M-TP's brand in the 2017 Lạc trôi MV, however, Hoa Hai Duong has a catchy, modern and attractive sound mix. Jack's composition includes only two verses, a rap, a repeated chorus, no bridge and the original length of the song is limited to just over 3 minutes, but the DTAP is still bright. create layers of sound. On the background of Jack's melody creation, the music producer alternates traditional and modern instruments, creating space between passages. Particularly, the chorus plays an explosive role when repeated twice at the end of the song, which is an expensive climax for the Begonias. However, the mix also caused regret in the transition between the chorus to the rap part. The sound processing of DTAP in this section is quite similar to some songs on Hoang Thuy Linh's album Hoang, which is also produced by DTAP. Jack is also said to have learned about the legend of begonias to have creative uses in writing lyrics. Some impressive sentences both in rhyming and in word usage, metaphors such as: "The galaxy in this universe is always far away / I personally hold the corner of the sky and the pearls fall at night", "Who will take you in this life / Kiep Hey, your hands are dirty / Why do you dream of climbing as high as begonias?" or “But you have the heart to leave when you'll be back with your eyes closed? / Quietly looking at the ashes, the yellow flower among the clouds of thousands of our love stories. Jack keeps the flirty, emphatic way that is characteristic of his handling. Although the vocals (vocals) are blurred in some places compared to the electronic music, by the end of the chorus, all the singer's internal forces seem to explode, conquering the listener's emotions. Although there are certain limitations in terms of materials used, in general, Begonia flowers are a good product in terms of music. Some commentators assessed that Begonia flowers had a subtle antique color, reminiscent of swordplay movies. This is a new point, different from his previous hits with a Southwestern flavor such as "Bạc phận", "Sóng gió". Many compliments on how the composition of the Begonia mix is invested and changed. The opening paragraph spreads out a mysterious, romantic space, evoking curiosity for the audience. The intense, powerful sound layers of the future bass are included in the last half of the song, keeping the task of pushing the climax to the work. In addition to winged compliments, the audio version of Hoa Begonia also received mixed reviews. A part of the audience commented that the volume of the beat was loud, sometimes overwhelming Jack's voice. The last part of the song needs to push the climax, but the male singer's performance is not strong enough and has to depend a lot on the music mix to do that. Although there are many mixed reviews, most of them agree that: Producer SlimV assessed that Jack's "Hoa hải đường" has a catchy chorus, Jack sings closely. However, he thinks that the music should reduce the direction of Chinese music and increase the national character.

The Mercedes-Benz turbocharged V6 F1 engine (formally known as the Mercedes-Benz PU engine from 2014 to 2016; the Mercedes-AMG Mxx EQ Power+ from 2017 to 2019; the Mercedes-AMG Mxx EQ/E Performance from 2020 to 2021; and the Mercedes-AMG F1 M13 for 2022) is a 1.6-liter, hybrid turbocharged V6 racing engine developed and produced by Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains for Formula One since 2014. The engine itself is coupled with an energy recovery system hybrid unit, and all evolutions and newer iterations of the power unit are based on the same basic hybrid architecture that has existed since 2014. Background The new Formula One regulations in saw Mercedes produce a hybrid 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine, which features both a kinetic energy recovery system and a heat energy recovery system. The Mercedes engine started the season with a clear advantage, with Mercedes-engined cars scoring the majority of the points. Since the introduction of the new engine formula, Mercedes-powered cars have achieved pole position in 120 out of 160 races as of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and have won 113 out of 160 races during this period. Statistics Other applications Mercedes-AMG One The powertrain of the Mercedes-AMG ONE is expected to be rated at through a hybrid drivetrain that shares many features with modern Formula One cars. The car has five motors with different functions on board: one internal combustion engine (ICE) and four electric motors. It is based on a modified version of the Mercedes-Benz PU106C Hybrid E-turbo V6, used in the 2016 Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid Formula One car. Modifications will be done to the engine due to the engine's illegality in RPM idle and redline. The head of Mercedes-AMG, Tobias Moers, states that the engine will be at 1,280 rpm when idle, and at 11,000 rpm when at its redline limit. However, the engine will only last for and the owners will have to return their cars for engine refurbishment. The ICE produces , with torque figures still unknown. The top speed of this car is around 217 mph (350 km/h). The internal combustion engine will work in conjunction with four electric motors: a Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K) coupled to the crankshaft, a Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H) coupled to the turbocharger, and two electric motors at the front axle. The MGU-K and MGU-H are Formula One-style motors responsible for recovering energy and improving efficiency during operation of the car. More specifically, the MGU-K serves to generate electricity during braking, while the MGU-H serves to eliminate turbocharger lag and improve throttle response by keeping the turbine spinning at high speeds. The final two electric motors drive the front wheels to allow for an all-wheel drive drivetrain, and the sum of these four electric motors will contribute effective power to the total power output figure of the ONE.

Ryukyu New Year is a traditional New Year in the Ryukyu Islands (the Amami Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture and the Okinawa Prefecture, Japan). Japan fully uses the Gregorian calendar after the Meiji Restoration, but the Ryukyu Islands still celebrate the New Year on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. History The Ryukyu Kingdom first created a calendar based on the Shiken calendar in 1674. The lunar calendar plays a very important role in the fishing-dominated Ryukyu Islands because of the need to rely on the moon's rise and fall to predict the tides. When the Meiji government implemented the solar calendar, the Ryukyu people who were dissatisfied with Japanese rule continued to use the lunar calendar. Locals eat soba noodles to celebrate the new year, and at the beginning of the new year, each family sends New Year's cards to each other and a New Year's gift to the children. Custom Kudaka Island is known as the "Island of the Gods". According to legend, it is the place where Amamikyu, the creator of Ryukyu, came down from the sky and started the founding of the country. On the day of the Ryukyu New Year, many people on the island will be busy returning home. The outer hall, which serves as the stage, is the two major places of worship on the island, along with the Jiugao hall. At Jiugao Hall, a pair of male islanders take turns to worship, while female goddesses fill their glasses with sake. When the two who have completed the ceremony walk out of the hall, they will perform hand dances to welcome the joy of the new year. On Hamahiga Island, the legendary Utaki where Amamikyu lived is open during the Ryukyu New Year, with New Year's greetings, performances and dance ceremonies. At the beginning of the new year, the village witch prays for a prosperous year with rice and sweets. Afterwards, Ryukyu classical music was played with Sanshin, drum, flute, etc. When the key changed and the bright sanxian sound reverberated, all the participants began to dance. The two villages in the north and south of Taketomi Town will hold tug-of-war and wrestling ceremonies on Ryukyu New Year's Day. They are divided into two teams, the north and the south. After singing the folk songs, it starts around 2 pm. The locals believe that "the north wins the livestock and the south wins the harvest". The fishing port in Itoman, the hometown of seafarers, is the most solemn place to celebrate the Ryukyu New Year. A large fishing flag is hung on the moored fishing boats. I hope everyone will have a full year of harvest. A New Year wrestling event is held at the market in Naha. In Amami Oshima, the Ryukyu New Year is a festival to pray for the abundance of grains and family happiness. During the Ryukyu New Year, people will set up kadomatsu made of pines, bamboos and daphniphyllum, and eat mochi soup, sashimi and shochu. References Ryukyuan culture

Background and release On July 9, 2021, JYP Entertainment announced it would be debuting a new girl group in February 2022, the first since Itzy in 2019. On February 2, 2022, it was announced that the group would debut on February 22 with the release of Ad Mare. Six days later, the track listing was released with "O.O" announced as the lead single. On February 17, the first music video teaser for "O.O" was released. Two days later, the highlight medley video teaser was released. On February 21, the second music video teaser for "O.O" was released. The single album alongside the music video for "O.O" was released on February 22. Composition The lead single "O.O" was described as a song with "mixture of baile funk and teen pop rock" genres with "intense captivating trap intro". "Tank" was described as a song with "groovy vocals and unique raps" that features member Lily's "timbre and explosive treble" with lyrics that "compares the confident and ambitious attitude to a tank". Critical reception Tanu I. Raj from NME gave Ad Mare 2 out of 5 stars, calling it "inconsistent" and "choppy" due to "O.O" uneven transitions from electropop to pop rock to hip-hop. Although it appreciated "Tank" simpler melodies, it concluded that the latter wasn't able "to alleviate the damage that 'O.O' does." Promotion On February 18, 2022, JYP Entertainment announced that the group debut showcase would be postponed to March 1 after member Bae was diagnosed with COVID-19.

Soga Sukenobu (曾我祐信) was a samurai warlord of the late Heian and early Kamakura period. He was the lord of Soga Manor in Sagami Province. He was the adoptive father of Soga Tokimune and Sukenari, known for the Revenge of the Soga Brothers incident. He was also known as Soga Tarō. Life Soga Sukenobu was born to the Soga clan, who claimed descent from Emperor Kanmu's lineage of the Taira clan. His mother was the daughter of Itō Sukeie. He was a resident of Soga township in Sagami Province (present-day Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture). In 1180, he sided with the Taira clan in the Battle of Ishibashiyama, but later surrendered to Minamoto no Yoritomo. He was rewarded a territory and became a close retainer (gokenin) to Yoritomo. Later, Sukenobu remarried the widow of Kawazu Sukeyasu and mother of Kawazu Hako'ō and Ichimanmaru, later known as Soga Tokimune and Sukenari, respectively. The Soga brothers thus became his adoptive sons. In 1193, he participated in the grand hunting event Fuji no Makigari arranged by Minamoto no Yoritomo. On June 28, 1193, on the last night of Fuji no Makigari, Tokimune and Sukenari killed Kudō Suketsune, the killer of their biological father, which came to be known as the Revenge of the Soga Brothers. Sukenari was killed during the incident, and Tokimune was executed the next day. Following the deaths of his adoptive sons, Sukenobu was allowed seclusion and a tax exemption on the Soga Manor to hold their memorial service. Genealogy The founder of the Soga clan, Soga Sukeie, was an eighth generation descendant of Taira no Yoshifumi, descending from the Taira clan through the Chiba clan, making him a direct descendant of the 8th century Emperor Kanmu. The descendants of Soga Sukenobu served as gokenin to the Kamakura shogunate and later to the Ashikaga shogunate, and was later known as an antiquarian samurai family. The clan served as a retainer to the Hōjō Tokusō and later became the acting governor (jitō-dai) of Tsugaru, Mutsu Province. Historic sites In Soga, Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, there is a late Kamakura period pagoda grave dedicated to Soga Sukenobu's devotion.
