Glory Lefoshie Sedibe (16 May 1953 - 20 March 1994), popularly known as Comrade September, was a member of the African National Congress (ANC) and a senior Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) operative who in August 1986 was abducted by an Apartheid death squad led by Eugene de Kock. After being severely tortured while detained in Piet Retief, Sedibe agreed to inform on his ANC comrades, becoming an askari or spy and murdered his own comrades in Vlakplaas with De Kock and others for the Apartheid state. He was a very prominent ANC activist in exile who went by the noms de guerre Comrade September, Lucky Seme and Wally Williams and was also nicknamed Dois M and Sebata.
Sedibe's name featured high during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that was established by Nelson Mandela's democratic government in 1996 and he was an example of how inhumane the Apartheid regime was to black people "who were often faced with no real choice at all [but] to betray their comrades or be killed," as journalist Rebecca Davis puts it.
Early life
Sedibe was born in the historic gold mining town of Pilgrim's Rest, Mpumalanga in 1953. His father Ephraim Sedibe was a teacher who turned a mining company clerk in the asbestos mining village of Penge, near Burgersfort in Limpopo.
Sedibe was the third-born of Ephraim's nine children. He entered Penge Primary School in 1961 at the age of 8. Because Penge had only up to Standard 6 (Grade 8), Sedibe moved to Leolo Secondary School in neighbouring Burgersfort in 1969. In 1972, Sedibe obtained his Junior Certificate and after this he moved to Ngwana Bohube High School in Petersburg, where he obtained his Matric Certificate in 1973 at the age of 20. He could not go to university to pursue a degree because he didn't have money but instead opted to work for a construction company in Johannesburg in 1974 and then in 1975 left Johannesburg to Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga where he became a teacher at Mathibela High School. In 1976, Sedibe left Bushbuckridge to Johannesburg's Kempton Park where again he worked for a construction company as a clerk at age 23. Later on that year he returned to Mpumalanga - this time to the Barberton area where he worked at a gold mine as a general labour.
Political activism
Sedibe joined the ANC at the age of 24 in 1977. He left South Africa to Swaziland after his elder brother Kaborone, a president of the student representative council (SRC) at Turfloop University, was sentenced to five years in prison in 1976 for organising a pro-FRELIMO rally celebrating the collapse of Portuguese rule in Africa. Sedibe crossed the border to Swaziland as a refugee and had yet to turn 25 when the ANC sent him for specialised intelligence training in East Germany and the Soviet Union. Soon he rose through the ranks of the ANC's military wing Umkhonto we Sizwe to occupy positions of influence in exile, including becoming head of intelligence for the then Transvaal region.
Arrest and Abduction
On 13 August 1986, Sedibe and a fellow MK operative were driving around Manzini, Swaziland when the police arrested them on charges of being in Swaziland illegally. Soon after their arrest, the Swazi police transferred Sedibe to the Mankayane police station, on the south-western border with South Africa, after the Swazi cops had clinched a R150 000 deal with the Apartheid police for his capture. The plan was that Sedibe would be taken to the Mankayane holding cells where the Apartheid police would pounce and kidnap him, making it look like it was a jailbreak engineered by the ANC.
Indeed, a raiding team of eight men led by Eugene de Kock arrived at Mankayane police station and kidnapped Sedibe in front of bribed Swazi police on the rainy Wednesday night of 13 August 1986. The team consisted of Steve Bosch, Douw Willemse and an askari named Almond Nofomela, as well as Christo Deetlefs and Paul van Dyk of Ermelo security branch and ‘Freek’ Pienaar and Johannes Koole of Piet Retief security branch.
He was taken to a house in Piet Retief where he was subjected to prolonged torture and interrogation for five months before he agreed to co-operate with police and was then transferred to Vlakplaas where he became an askari, murdering his own ANC comrades. It did not stop there, however, Sedibe would allegedly go on to hunt down his ex-comrades himself, bring them to Vlakplaas and he was feared and hated by them.
State witness
Sedibe became a star witness in the 1988 treason trial of anti-Apartheid activist Ebrahim Ebrahim, his co-accused Simon Dladla and Mandla Maseko in camera as "Mr X1'". In January 1989, Ebrahim was sentenced to 20 years for high treason, Dladla to 12 years for terrorism and Maseko to 23 years for high treason on Robben Island as a result of Sedibe's testimony. Ebrahim only served 6 years of this sentence and was released in 1991 when he won his appeal on grounds that the Apartheid police had illegally abducted him from Swaziland in December 1986 and had no jurisdiction to prosecute him
Death
Sedibe died mysteriously on 20 March 1994. Eugene de Kock said Sedibe was killed with a poison allegedly poured into his alcohol. De Kock said the poison mimicked the symptoms of Hepatitis B, but journalist Jacques Pauw in his 1997 book titled Into the Heart of Darkness wrote that Sedibe died of heart attack as he was someone with a heart problem from his days in exile. A pathologist who examined Sedibe's corpse confirmed that his "weak heart" was a contributing factor to his death.

Eski Kermen or Eski-Kermen was a cave town and fortress in the Crimea in the south of the Ukraine. Founded by the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century to defend against the Göktürks, it was conquered by the Khazars in the 7th or 8th century.
The fortress was built on a plateau of about 1km by 200m. Remains have been found of a basilica. The occupants were probably Alans or Goths. The military imprtance of the place disappeared after the Khazars had conquered it, but it remained a thriving cave dwelling until at least the 11th century, during the rule of the Pechenegs. It seems to have been deserted in the 14th century, under the rule of the Tatars. Nowadays, most surface structures have disappeared and only some 400 cave rooms remain.

Eleanor Grace Gehrig (née Twitchell; March 6, 1905 – March 6, 1984) was an American philanthropist, socialite, and memoirist, known as the wife of American baseball player Lou Gehrig. After Gehrig's death she continued to promote his legacy and contribute to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig disease) research.
In 1976 she released her autobiography, titled My Luke and I.
She was born March 6, 1905, in Chicago, the daughter of Nellie (née Mulvaney 1884–1968) and Frank Twitchell. She had one brother, Frank. Eleanor stated in her memoir she was a product of the roaring twenties and during this time in Chicago she led a party-girl lifestyle while climbing Chicago's social ladder, eventually meeting Gehrig at party while he was in town for a game.
At the height of a storied career, her husband was forced to retire in 1939 due to his diagnoses with a little known disease at that time called Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which would eventually become known also as Lou Gehrigs' Disease. Gehrig died in 1941 from the illness at the age of 37. Eleanor traveled around the country with him during his baseball career and in his final years took care of him. In 1935, Eleanor produced a song with Fred Fisher titled "I Can't Get to First Base With You".
She took control of Gehrig's estate after his death. During World War II she raised money for the cause by auctioning off some of her husbands memorabilia, raising six million dollars. She also registered to work with the American Red Cross Motor Corps. Then president Franklin D. Roosevelt heralded her for her efforts and summoned her to meet with him at the Little White House. Eleanor was sued by Lou Gehrig's parents, believing she had withheld income generated from his life insurance policy. The case was settled out of court. In the 1960s, she stopped an alcohol brand from using Gehrig's image for an advertisement, only wanting her husband's image to be used for the public good.
Gehrig served as National Campaign Chair on the board of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Gehrig petitioned congress to provide funding for research on the disease and the creation and funding for a national institute on multiple sclerosis.
She died on her birthday in 1984, never having remarried, and left no survivors, spending her life devoted to her husband and his legacy. She donated $100,000 to the Rip Van Winkle Foundation, which in turned formed The Lou Gehrig Society, whose mission is to support research for ALS and the legacy of the Gehrigs. She also donated $100,000 to Columbia University, which then established the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig ALS Center on the schools campus. Gehrig donated the remaining memorabilia in her possession to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. In 2003, journalist Sean Kirst published an essay titled The Ashes of Lou Gehrig which discusses Eleanor's concern over Gehrig's grave due to vandalism and her wishes to have her ashes mixed with his after her death.
Portrayal in media
Eleanor was portrayed by Teresa Wright in the 1942 film The Pride of the Yankees. The film was a hit at the box-office and was nominated for eleven Academy Awards. Eleanor served as consultant to the film and was paid $30,000 for her life rights. Teresa Wright was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.
She has been portrayed on television in a 1943 Lux Radio Theatre production by Virginia Bruce and a 1949 Screen Directors Playhouse production by Lurene Tuttle.
In 1976, her autobiography was turned into a television film titled A Love Affair: The Eleanor and Lou Gehrig Story, with herself portrayed by Blythe Danner. The film was nominated for two Emmy Awards.

The Swedish Federation for Voluntary Defence Education and Training (, commonly known as Försvarsutbildarna) is a nationwide voluntary defence organization with the aim of strengthening the Swedish Total Defence. The organization was founded in 1943 under the name of the Swedish Central Federation for Voluntary Military Training (, CFB) before changing to its current name in 2006.
History
On 5 July 1912, 18 of Sweden's Landstorm associations met at a congress and made a decision to form Sveriges Landstormsföreningars riksförbund ("National Association of the Swedish Landstorm Association's"). In 1915, Landstormspojkar was formed, which became the first youth department. The aim of the youth departments' activities was, in collaboration with home, school and employers, to raise Swedish boys and young people to be good citizens with the ability to participate in the defence of the motherland and to assist in the schools' military service training.
Through the Defence Act of 1942, the Landstorms organization was abolished. However, there was still a need for voluntary officer training to complement the compulsory training that was now introduced. On 1 June 1943, the King in Council determined basic statutes for the Swedish Central Federation for Voluntary Military Training (, CFB), whose main task was to conduct voluntary officer training.
In January 2006, the organization changed its name to the Swedish Federation for Voluntary Defence Education and Training (Svenska Försvarsutbildningsförbundet) to mark that the organization should keep pace with the changes that have taken place in Sweden's defence and security policy and the development of the Swedish Armed Forces. The orgsanization now turned to everyone who was interested in supporting society's civilian crisis management. At the 2012 national assembly, a new business idea was adopted with a new focus. The activities of the organization now included the entire scale from the security of the individual to the defence of society.

Mirza Husayn Khalili Tehrani (Persian: میرزا حسین خلیلی تهرانی) was an Usuli Shi'a jurist and among the four sources of emulation at the time of Iranian Constitutional Revolution. He worked alongside Akhund Khurasani and Shaykh Abdullah Mazandarani to support the first democratic revolution of Asia, Iran's Constitutional Revolution, and co-signed all major statements issued from the seminary of Najaf in support of democracy.
Career
In 1891, he became a Marja', and by the demise of Mirza Shirazi in 1895 he was listed among great jurists, and many people from Tehran followed him. When the parliament came under attack from imperial court's cleric, Shaykh Fazlullah Nuri, Tehrani alongside other jurists of Najaf sided with democracy and acted as a legitimizing force. They invoked the Quranic command of ‘enjoining good and forbidding wrong’ to justify democracy in the period of occultation, and linked opposition to the constitutional movement to ‘a war against the Imam of the Age’. Akhund Khurasani, Mirza Husayn Tehrani and Shaykh Abdullah Mazandarani, theorized a model of religious secularity in the absence of Imam, that still prevails in Shia seminaries.
The period from the destruction of the first parliament under the orders of Mohammad Ali shah on June 23, 1908, to the Shah's deposition on July 16, 1909, is called as the Lesser Despotism in the history of modern Iran. The shah repeatedly delayed the elections under the guise of fighting sedition and defending Islam. Mohammad Ali shah wrote letters to the sources of emulation in Najaf, seeking their support against the perceived conspiracies of Babis and other heretics. However, Akhund Khurasani, Mirza Tehrani and Mirza Abdullah Mazandarani responded by affirming the religious legitimacy of democracy and advised the shah to work within the constitutional framework in improving the conditions of society and defending the country against colonial influence.
Death
He died in 1908.

She returned to the Assembly in 2005 and has been re-elected in every national election since then, including the most recent in January 2022. She has served as chair of the Assembly's Health Committee.
Early life and education
Maria Antónia Moreno Areias de Almeida Santos was born on 14 February 1962 in Mozambique, where her parents had been stationed.

Her father was António de Almeida Santos, who became a leading figure in the Portuguese Socialist Party and was a former president of the Assembly of the Republic. The family returned to Portugal when she was 11 years old. Santos graduated in law.
Career
In April 1986, when Mário Soares became president, she was asked to act as legal advisor to the President of the Republic. She worked directly with Maria Barroso, the wife of Soares, and the role gave her the opportunity to meet many other political personalities of the time. She stayed in this role until October 1995, working with a Lisbon law firm at the same time. From October 1995 to June 2001 she worked as a legal advisor in the office of the President of the Assembly of the Republic, when her father was in this position.

Almeida Santos came relatively late to formal involvement in politics, not joining Socialist Youth, the youth arm of the PS, until she was 24. She served briefly as a deputy during the 8th legislature (1999–2002) and was then elected as deputy to the Assembly for the 10th legislature in 2005, as a representative of the Socialist Party. Until the 2011 election she represented Coimbra District, moving to represent Lisbon District in that year.

Baarland Castle is a former castle in Baarland, Netherlands.
Castle Characteristics
A supposed Motte Castle or tower house
On a 17th-century engraving, a motte is depicted next to the castle. It is therefore supposed that the first version of Baarland Castle was a motte-and-bailey castle. This might have stood north of the current castle, which was built on what might have been the outer bailey of the motte castle.
The motte theory seems to be supported by a protrusion on the north side of the moat on the cadastre map of 1819. However, this is too small for a motte. It might have been a small island for a tower house, which preceded the large water castle.
The medieval water castle
The water castle which occupied the terrain of the current castle was probably built in the fourteenth century. The irregular form of the bailey and the buildings make it very likely that this construction also took place in phases. On at least three sides, later drawings show that by the 18th century, the façades had been heavily changed to give the impression of a single main building.
From several depictions we get an impression about what the castle looked like in the 17th and 18th centuries. Leading is the picture by Cornelis Pronk, who is known for being highly accurate. His drawing also has the advantage that it gives a recognizable depiction of the church of Baarland, from whence we know the direction that Pronk was looking to.
Isaac Hildernisse made a floor plan of Baarland Castle in 1694. This floor plan is in line with Pronk's later drawing. As such the two drawings confirm each other. However, what Hildernisse did not do, or the copyist of his work did not copy, was to take measurements of and or to accurately depict the walls. The floor plan gives all walls the same thickness, meaning that it is impossible to deduce a construction history from the floor plan. In this respect Pronk's work is also not helpful, because the outward façades had clearly been normalized when he depicted Baarland Castle.
Hildernisse is known for his tendency to depict all walls at 90 degree angles, unless he clearly could not do that. Not correctly showing the thickness of walls might be another trait of Hildernisse or his copyist. Sometimes Hildernisse accurately depicts the thickness of a wall, and sometimes he gives all the walls the same thickness, even while this was obviously not the case. The latter is proven by his floor plan of Moermond Castle.
Just before its demolition a new picture was drawn of the castle. Also, a very rough description was given. South and east of the main building there was a brick breastwork, the remains of the old ring wall. On the southwest corner was a tower, the remains of which were shown on the picture. The other walls were all gone at the time, and this also applied to the other guard towers.
The same description noted that at a height of 20 feet, the west and south walls of the main building were exceptionally thick. They were made of the oldest local brick that was relatively soft. The same applied to some of the inner walls. In 1838 the main building of the castle was demolished.
The current castle
The current castle consists of the main bailey of the second castle, surrounded by a wall and moat. The wall has been rebuilt on top of the old foundations, but to a much lower height. The towers on the wall are reconstructions at a lower height.
The current main building on the northeast corner is a former annex of the castle. It has two clock gables, and has been restored to its 17th-18th century condition. In about 1990 a new building was added at a 90 degree angle.
History
Van Baarland
The oldest history of the castle is based on assumptions. In 1295 the Battle of Baarland was won by a pro-Holland Zeeland army against a Flanders army that had landed near Baarland. It is possible that any castle near Baarland was destroyed during the Flemish invasion. The Flemish were reported to have burned everything they could, both houses and churches.
In 1296 a Hugo van Baarland was involved in the killing of Floris V, Count of Holland. He was taken, and executed in Dordrecht. It is not known whether he was the head or heir of his family, and whether he owned Baarland Castle.
Van Borselen
In about 1840 it was supposed that Hugo van Baarland's estate was given to Aleid van Henegouwen, natural daughter of John II, Count of Holland. There was actually no prove for this assumption, but as Aleid had married Wolfert II van Borselen in 1312, it explained how the castle came into the possession of the Van Borselen family.
The last of the Van Borselen line was Wolfert VI of Borselen (c. 1433–1485). He had four surviving daughters. Anne was the oldest and married Philip of Burgundy-Beveren, who succeeded as Lord of Veere etc. Second was Margaret, lady of Ridderkerk who married Walraven van Brederode. She wanted to succeed to the Lordship of Fallais, but did not get it. Maria was the third, and Jeanne was the youngest daughter.
Maria van Borselen was referred to as Lady of Baerlandt, or simply as Maria van Baerlandt. In 1489 she married Martin II von Polheim dit de Schoonenpoel (d. 1498). She died before having any children with Martin, who in 1493 remarried to Regina von Liechtenstein († 1496). Martin is said to have become the owner of Baarland and Der Nisse by this marriage. Later, Martin would get the margraviate of Steyr for life. It's therefore likely that he did not cling to Baarland, as it was too far away for him to effectively manage it.
Jeanne van Borselen, the fourth daughter married Wolfgang von Polheim, younger brother of Martin von Polheim. She became lady of Fallais on the death of her father. In 1501 Wolfgang and Jeanne gave Fallais back to Archduke Maximilian. In 1502 Falais was gifted to Baudouin de Bourgogne (c. 1446 – 1508) Lord of Fallais, Peer, Boudour, Sint-Annaland, Lovendegem, Zomergem en Fromont, bastard of Philip the Good.
Burgundy-Beveren
As Anne van Borselen had married Philip of Burgundy-Beveren, an important part of the Van Borselen goods came to their descendants. They had a son Adolf of Burgundy (1489–1540) and three daughters. Adolf became Lord of Veere and Admiral of the Netherlands. He was succeeded by his son Maximilian of Burgundy (1514–1558), who left Veere in heavy debt when he died.
Adolph de Bourgogne also had a bastard called Philippe de Bourgogne, Seigneur de Fontes or . Philips was lord of Fontes, Linighem, etc. bailiff of Veere from 1533 to 1562. He died about 1566. He married Joan de Hesdin. They had 6 children. In 1567 these sold a house called Fontes in the Nonnenstraat in Mechelen. Anna of Burgundy was mentioned in the contract as: wife of Jacques Smit Lord of Baarland.
Van Baarland
Right up to the demolishment of the castle, the portrait of Jacob Smit hung above the fireplace in the middle room of the southern wing of the castle. He came into possession of Baarland Castle through the above marriage. He had been made bailiff of Vlissingen in 1558, and governor of Walcheren in 1572. He died in 1573. They left two daughters: Catherine or Jaqueline de Smidt dite de Bourgogne, and Maria van Baarland.
Jacqueline married Rombaut van Wachtendonck bailiff of Middelburg (1593-1603). The had Louis de Wachtendonck Lord of Baarland (b. 1600). Louis married Anne-Isabelle van Borselen, and had a daughter Sabine-Catherine van Wachtendonck, who still lived in 1660.
Jacob's daughter Maria married Emmerij van Liere, later governor of Willemstad. Their son Willem got a hunting lodge near Welsinge, which had belonged to Philippe de Bourgogne. He sold Welsinge in 1627.
The next lord of or in Baarland after Louis van Wachtendonck was another Jacob van Baarland, who was also called 'van Dirksland'. He probably belonged to the family of the Goes mayor Mattheus Michiels. In 1500 a Frederik van Baarland was mentioned. His descendants owned a significant part of the local (lordships). One son of Frederik was Michiel Mattheusse lord in Baarland, father of Mattheus Michiels mayor of Goes, lord of Baarland in 1584. The other son was Jan Mattheusse, father of Michiel, bailiff of South-Beveland from 1610 to 1629, and in turn father of Jan van Baarland, bailiff from 1629 to 1655. In 1634 Jan sold his part in the Lordship of Baarland to his nephew Jacob van Baarland.
This Jacob van Baarland, lord in Baarland, Dirksland and Wemeldingen was a staunch Catholic. He was born c. 1587 and still lived in 1669, in Antwerpen. He had two daughters: Catharina and Magdalena. These, and their father are referred to as 'De Smith van Baarland', which made it likely that they were nevertheless also family of the first Jacob Smit who got Baarland Castle.
Catharine van Baarland married Gerard van Groesbeek Lord van Hoemen, count of Groesbeek in 1638. Their son Jacob divided his grandparents estate with his aunt, and became owner of Baarland Castle. In 1730 a countess of Groesbeek lived at the castle. Magdalena married Philippe de Recourt dit de Licques baron of Wissekerke in 1655. He became Count of Rupelmonde in 1671.
Lampsins
In 1734 Baarland Castle was sold by the Counts of Groesbeek. The de Licques family also sold their part in the lordship, and so Baarland Castle and much of the surrounding land became owned by Johan Cornelis Lampsins (1716-1767). He had restored the castle by the mid 18th century, and actually went to live there.
In 1754 Baarland was bought by the Lord of Kerchem. His daughter Wilhelmina Elizabeth van Kerchem was registered as the owner of the 4334 205 Rods lordship. She brought the castle in marriage to Hendrik van der Heim in Schiedam. Their daughter brought it to Cornelis Adrianus van Bol'es from Schiedam.
Demolishment
In September 1840 the demolishment of Baarland Castle was in progress. Marble fireplaces, windows, leather wall-paper, floor tiles, etc. were offered for sale. Cornelis Adrianus van Bol'es and Jacobus de Backer from Rotterdam still owned the terrain in 1844.
Hunting Lodge
In January 1855 Bol'es and De Backer sold Baarland for 65,835 guilders to Antonie van Hoboken (1807-1872) from Rotterdam. He turned it into a hunting lodge. In 1889 the Hobokens, van Baarland were at their Baarland.
Renovation
A. Feenstra from Hallum was the son of the local bicycle dealer. He moved to Vlissingen, where he and his wife had a radio an television shop. This was successful, and so he looked for a country house, where he could store his antiquities. For this he bought the remains of Baarland Castle from Mrs. Pompoene in August 1965. Feenstra and his wife then set about to restore the castle with their own hands. Being amateurs it led to some mishaps, but in the end they were successful.
For the renovation, the whole moat was made dry. The old foundations of the wall were then made level by Mrs. Feenstra. Frames were put on top to poor concrete, but this went quite wrong at first. Later, the idea was carried out successfully. The outer facings were then covered with re-used local large brick.

Lieutenant Duncan Mackellar or Duncan Mackellar, Junior (1795—1838) was an officer in the Royal Navy and, subsequently, a colonial settler, of New South Wales. With his uncle, Captain Duncan Mackellar, he is associated with the early days of colonial settlement of the district around what is now Braidwood.
Duncan Mackellar, Junior, was born in Sydney, during the time that his father, Neil Mackellar (1769—1802) was stationed there, as an ensign of the New South Wales Corps. His father was a nephew of Colonel Patrick Mackellar (1717—1778) and a first cousin of Colonel Mackellar's eldest son, John, later Admiral Sir John Mackellar (1768–1854). His mother was a convict woman, Sarah Cooley. In 1800, his father had reached the rank of Captain and became secretary and aide-de-camp to Governor Philip Gidley King. His father sailed to New Bedford, en route to England bringing dispatches, in the American schooner Caroline. After August 1802, no news had been heard of that vessel, and he was presumed to be lost at sea.
Mackellar joined the Royal Navy, on 1 June 1808, joining the crew of HMS Porpoise in Sydney. Porpoise was the ship which had carried, William Bligh, to take up his appointment as Governor of New South Wales. It is likely that his father's former position and the circumstances of his father's death influenced Bligh to assist Mackellar to begin a naval career. However, by the time that Mackellar actually joined the navy, the colony was already under a rebel de facto government, following the Rum Rebellion, which occurred 26 January 1808. Porpoise played a significant role in the aftermath of the rebellion, taking Bligh, who had been held under house arrest, to Hobart, in early 1809.
He went to England, aboard Porpoise, in 1810.
He was a Midshipman, aboard HMS Guadeloupe, on 27 June 1811, when, outgunned and outnumbered, over an hour and 35 minutes, the brig successfully fought off the French corvette Tactique and armed xebec Guêpe, off the French town of Port-Vendre. In 1815, he served on Salisbury, commanded by Captain John Mackellar, his first cousin once-removed, who would eventually rise to the rank of Admiral and be knighted.
He was promoted to Lieutenant, in May 1816, on his last naval ship, HMS Variable, soon afterwards retiring on half pay, in August 1816. As a former Lieutenant of only eight years service in the navy, he was not permitted to retain or use his military rank in civilian life.
His sister Lilias was involved in scandal, in Hobart in 1817, culminating in her trial and acquittal on a charge of murdering a child who was conceived as a result of an adulterous relationship with John Drummond, husband of her sister, Elizabeth. Drummond and a servant woman, Mary Evers, were also charged, tried and acquitted. By order of Governor Macquarie, at Drummond's request, details of the trial were suppressed, by not being published in the Sydney Gazette, to avoid embarrassing Drummond's family in Britain.
In 1825, he returned to Australia, with his wife and two children aboard, City of Edinburgh, a ship commanded by his uncle, also Duncan Mackellar, and owned by The Australian Company, of Edinburgh and Leith, in Scotland.
Mackellar's wife (Janet) was murdered, by an assigned convict, in the district of 'Upper Minto' (which extended as far south as modern-day Appin), near the Cowpastures, in 1828, while her husband was away at "the New Country". The New Country probably refers to the newer areas of settlement, at the time, which would include Braidwood where Mackellar was preparing to move onto the land granted to him. As a consequence of his loss and the earlier destruction of his house in a fire, Mackellar was given a second land grant by Governor Darling.
Mackellar took up, with his uncle, Duncan Mackellar, a combined total of 3250 acres of land, near what is now the town of Braidwood, in 1829. His uncle's land, 'Strathalan', was sold, in 1836, to another sea captain who became a settler, Captain John Coghill, former captain of the East India Company's convict transport ship Mangles. Coghill later built 'Bedervale'''. Mackellar, Junior's, own two land grants, Jinglemoney and Gingamona,'' of 640 acres each, were west of the Shoalhaven River, in the vicinity of Bombay, in the County of Murray. He also had the right to graze on another 3000 acres of adjacent land that had not been granted or sold yet, or was otherwise not in immediate use, in return for an annual rental payment.
A "Duncan McKellar", of the County of Murray, died in Sydney on Friday, 2 November 1838. After his death, Mackellar's landholdings were held in trust for his three sons. His uncle had previously returned to Scotland, in 1837, and was living there, in 1839.
It is likely that two streets in Braidwood, Duncan Street and Mackellar Street, are named after Mackellar and his identically-named uncle.

The Communist's Daughter is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered on CBC Gem in 2021. Set in the 1980s, the series stars Sofia Banzhaf as Dunyasha McDougald, the teenage daughter of communist activist parents Ian (Aaron Poole) and Carol (Jessica Holmes) McDougald; after the family moves to a new neighbourhood, she falls for school jock Marc (Kolton Stewart) despite being an outsider in her new school's social hierarchy, only for her father to mount a municipal council campaign against incumbent councillor Rod Bigmann (Chris Locke), Marc's father.
The cast also includes Ryan Taerk, Nadine Bhabha, Zoe Cleland, Vieslav Krystyan, George Stroumboulopoulos, Neema Nazeri, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, Nadine Whiteman Roden, Sandra Battaglini, Jacob Soley, Shaina Silver-Baird and Jesse Camacho.
The series was created by Leah Cameron, incorporating some aspects of her own real upbringing in the 1980s. It was funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign in early 2019, and went into production in the fall. It was released on CBC Gem in March 2021.
Critical response
John Doyle of The Globe and Mail praised the series as "a very droll farce that really has no point apart from fun, frolics, jokes about the 1980s and the ineffable struggle of a teenage girl who wants to fit in but is held back by her communist parents. It doesn’t make a blind bit of sense but that’s fine. It’s deranged enough to detain you for a splendid escape."
Freelance television critic Bill Brioux gave the series "mixed Marx", writing that the series reminded him of his own experience making low-budget community channel comedy programs for Maclean-Hunter in his youth and praising the fact that Cameron got the opportunity to make it, but stating that he wished it was funnier. He further wrote that "it is so apples and oranges, but I also can’t help but compare this series to Never Have I Ever, an exceptional Netflix sitcom that premiered last year featuring Mississauga teen Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. It is also a fish out of water story set in high school, a clash of Indian culture and Americana. To be fair, The Communist’s Daughter was probably made for the craft services budget on Never Have I Ever."
Awards
The series also won 20 awards from web series festivals throughout 2021, and was named the winner of the 2021 Web Series World Cup as the most awarded web series of the year.

The Ghost of Kyiv () is the nickname given to a disputed and unconfirmed MiG-29 Fulcrum flying ace credited with shooting down six Russian planes in the Kyiv offensive on 24 February 2022. According to the Security Service of Ukraine, he has shot down 10 Russian jets as of 27 February. Although not confirmed to be real, the Ghost of Kyiv has been credited as a morale booster for Ukrainians.
History
Videos on social media began widely circulating of fighter jets in Ukraine on the first day of the Russian invasion in February 2022, shortly after the invasion started, claiming of a single pilot who took down multiple Russian jets. A possible or legendary pilot of a МіG-29, nicknamed the "Ghost of Kyiv" by the Ukrainian public, supposedly won six air fights in the sky of Kyiv during the first 30 hours of the invasion. The six planes are reported as two Su-35s, two Su-25s, a Su-27 and a МіG-29. If the ace does exist, they would be the first recorded fighter ace of the 21st century, as well as an Ace in a Day.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence claims that, should the downings be confirmed, the Ghost of Kyiv could be one of dozens of experienced pilots of military reserve who urgently returned to the Armed Forces of Ukraine after Russia invaded. In a tweet, it referred to the Ghost of Kyiv as "the air avenger". However, in a claim by Ukrainian commander-in-chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi, he said he could only confirm a total of six Russian planes downed on the first day of fighting in Ukraine, though there may have been more.
Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko posted a tweet of a photograph of a fighter pilot, claiming it to be the Ghost of Kyiv, who Poroshenko said was real. The photo was later discovered to have been reused from a Ministry of Defense post from 2019 showing a pilot testing a new helmet. Although the Ghost of Kyiv is likely an urban legend, his status has been credited as a major morale boost for the Ukrainian population.
On 27 February, the Security Service of Ukraine confirmed in a Facebook post that the Ghost of Kyiv has shot down 10 aircraft. This is currently the only official source about the Ghost of Kyiv. No other news outlet has independently verified the claim at this time.
Morale
The Ghost of Kyiv has been credited as a morale booster for Ukrainians, to bolster optimism in the face of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The urban legend is likely not a deliberate creation, with the stories being shared by regular Ukrainian people on social media before official Ukrainian media accounts alluded to the pilot in a regular update.
Computer-generated footage of a dogfight and downing featuring the Ghost of Kyiv has been made using the 2013 video game Digital Combat Simulator and uploaded by a YouTube user. The uploader openly stated in the description that the footage was not real and was merely a tribute to the Ghost of Kyiv, real or fake, to keep fighting. The video was also shared by the official Twitter account of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The video was then uploaded to Twitter and spread widely, with Snopes clarifying that it was faked. Newsweek reported, "There is zero evidence the "Ghost of Kyiv" exists."
Task & Purpose argued that while it was highly unlikely there were even six air-to-air takedowns in total, given their rarity in the 21st century and Ukraine's strong missile defense, the Ghost of Kyiv was "real enough" as the spirit of the Ukrainians. Tom Demerly of The Aviationist argued that the Ghost of Kyiv is an "example of bizarre distortions...amplified by the chaos of war".
Similar to the Ghost of Kyiv, on 26 February 2022, social media reports of a Ukrainian ground forces soldier dubbed the "Ukrainian Reaper", who supposedly killed over twenty Russian soldiers in combat alone, emerged.

Rogers Terrill (c. 1901 - March 1, 1963) was a pulp magazine editor, author, and literary agent. He worked for Fiction House as editor of Wings, Action Stories, and Fight Stories, among other titles, and moved to Popular Publications when Fiction House temporarily ceased operations. He remained with Popular until the end of the 1940s, and then became a literary agent. Pulp magazine historian Robert Kenneth Jones describes him as a very successful editor, comparing him to Leo Margulies, a competitor of Popular's at Thrilling Publications, and pulp author Wyatt Blassingame described him as one of the best pulp editors.
He was reputed to particularly hate plagiarism, and Jones relates that an author who submitted to Terrill, as his own work, a story that Terrill himself had written fifteen years earlier, was invited to the publisher's office. According to Jones, "he left Terrill's office practically on his hands and knees".

Biothesiometry is a noninvasive medical test used to quantify the perception of vibration by measuring its threshold. It is used in neurology, electrophysiology to diagnose a number of conditions, like diabetic neuropathy and erectile dysfunction, where the vibration perception threshold (VPT) would be higher than average. The numerical nature of the test can help stage the progression of disease or complications.
The test is done through a biothesiometer, which is composed of a handheld probe wired to a display unit. Both digital and analog types are commercially available, giving the reading on either a dial or a screen.
In a systematic review of screening methods for pediatric diabetic peripheral neuropathies, biothesiometry and fine microfilaments were shown to be the only diagnostic methods with high sensitivity and specificity.

Tragic Magic, also stylized as tragicmagic, is an album by the American band Madder Rose, released in 1997. The band promoted the album by touring with Junior Cottonmouth.
Production
The album was produced by bandmember Billy Coté, who also wrote most of the lyrics. It was Madder Rose's first album with bass player Chris Giammalvo. The band added elements of funk and hip hop to its sound.
Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly wrote that the album "is frustratingly half-baked and suffers from near-funereal pacing ... Fortunately, Mary Lorson’s lighter-than-air vocals counter even the most sedative of tracks." The Washington Post thought that "the melodies are sturdy ... It's tunes like 'Hung Up in You', more than the revisited folk-hop sound, that provides most of the album's appeal." The Los Angeles Daily News praised the "innovative, bass-heavy sound and standout songs." The Republican opined that "the seductive grooves of 'My Star', and the mildly appealing '(She's a) Satellite', are two of the only salvageable moments here."
The Dayton Daily News stated: "Sometimes laid-back jazzy, sometimes spacey coffeehouse pop, always lyrically introspective, there really isn't a bad cut here." Stereo Review called Coté a "vibey and tasteful popster," writing that he "dials in a music store's worth of tones-pristine arpeggios, scritchy wah washes, fuzzy flashbacks, surf solos, hypnotic noir motifs."
AllMusic wrote that "as if to signal that they were still hip, Madder Rose incorporated heavy elements of trip-hop on Tragic Magic, and while that gambit failed for some of their peers, the band manages to blend the dance and guitar-pop well."

Emilian Makhno (d. 1918) was a Ukrainian soldier and the eldest brother of Nestor Makhno.
History
Emilian Makhno was the eldest of five children, left in his mother's care after his father died in 1890. In 1903, Emilian got married and started a family of his own. With the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, Emilian was drafted into the Imperial Russian Army and was wounded during the conflict, leaving him almost blind.
In the wake of the February Revolution, he was reunited with his brother Nestor, following the latter's release from prison. But with the occupation of Huliaipole by the Central Powers, the disabled Emilian was shot by the Austro-Hungarian Army in front of his wife and children, apparently having been mistaken for Nestor.

This list includes cavalry regiments assigned to Corps of the British Army in the period 1916–19. On the outbreak of World War I the establishment of a British infantry division included a cavalry squadron for reconnaissance and escort duties. From 1915 these were primarily provided by mounted units of the Special Reserve or Yeomanry regiments of the Territorial Force. Early in 1916 the divisional cavalry squadrons were transferred to Army Corps level and formed into composite regiments. However, Trench warfare conditions on the Western Front reduced the utility of mounted troops, and in 1917 most of the corps cavalry regiments were dismounted and drafted as infantry reinforcements, converted into corps cyclist battalions or machine gun battalions. A few were reinstated (at squadron strength) during 1918. On the other fighting fronts corps cavalry units continued until demobilisation in 1919.

Lycurgus ( ; 219–217 BC) was a king of Sparta, who reigned from 219 BC until his death shortly before 211 BC. Of obscure background and possibly of non-royal descent, Lycurgus led Sparta in the Social War against Macedon with varying success, and underwent multiple exiles during his checkered reign. He also effectively abolished the traditional Spartan diarchy by dethroning his fellow king Agesipolis III and ruling Sparta as its sole monarch.
Life
In 219 BC, after the death of the exiled king Cleomenes III in Egypt, the Spartans restored their traditional diarchy, installing Cleomenes's underaged grandnephew Agesipolis III as the king from the Agiad dynasty and an obscure Lycurgus as representative of the Eurypontid dynasty. According to the historian Polybius, Lycurgus was not in fact of royal descent, and had made good his claim to the throne by bribing the ephors with one silver talent each. Modern historians have doubted this story, however, and suggest that Lycurgus may have indeed belonged to an obscure collateral branch of the ancient Eurypontid family.
Lycurgus was a prominent figure in the Social War against Macedon and the Achaean League. In the summer of 219 BC, he invaded the eastern foreland of the Parnon and took several towns, and then, after marching back to the northern Laconian border, captured the Athenaeum fortress near Megalopolis. The garrison he left there, however, was soon expelled by Macedonian reinforcements during the winter. Shortly afterwards, Lycurgus fled to Pellana to escape the coup attempt of one Chilon, who murdered all the ephors and attempted to revive the land redistribution programs of Cleomenes III, apparently aiming to claim royal power for himself. Lycurgus retook power within the year and, in the early summer of 218 BC, renewed his campaigns against Macedon's Peloponnesian allies. Lycurgus besieged and captured Tegea, but an invasion of Messenia was unsuccessful, and Laconia itself was soon overrun by Macedonian forces. After unsuccessfully counterattacking a Messenian detachment and failing to prevent Macedon from capturing the Menelaion, Lycurgus was denounced by the ephors and once again went into exile, fleeing to Aetolia.
As the war continued, Lycurgus was soon recalled by the following year's ephors, and, in agreement with the allied Aetolian League's general at Elis, he attacked Messenia again. The invasion was once again fruitless, and the war was ended in the summer of 217 BC by a peace agreement concluded at Naupactus. Lycurgus eventually, perhaps right after the peace treaty, dethroned his fellow diarch Agesipolis III and became, for the first time in history, Sparta's sole king. By 211 BC he had been succeeded by his "propagandistically-named" son, Pelops.

The Meetinghouse under the Ledge, also known as the Old Ledge Meetinghouse, was a church that stood in present-day Yarmouth, Maine (then North Yarmouth, Massachusetts) between 1729 and 1836. It was the ninth church founded in what is now Maine.
Named for the ledge that rises to the west of its former location, only the church's doorstep remains, beside today's Garrison Lane.
History
The congregation was founded in November 1730. Its first minister was Reverend Ammi Ruhamah Cutter.
Some members of the congregation had to travel several miles to attend sermons, some arriving by boat from today's Harpswell. They were armed with muskets, wary of hostile Indians.
The church was enlarged and had a steeple and a copper banner weathervane added in 1762.
The congregation moved twice after abandoning this church in 1820, and today meets at the First Parish Congregational Church on Main Street in Yarmouth, about north of this location.
In 1836, sixteen years after the meetinghouse was abandoned, it was torn down. The weathervane was rescued during the demolition work. In 1838, it was mounted as a shipping guide on an iron rod atop the ledge, overlooking the meetinghouse, by a group of Yarmouth residents. They had raised funds to buy the weathervane from Solomon Winslow, who had removed it from the demolition site. The weathervane is now on display at the Yarmouth History Center, but its old supports still exist high up in the woods on the western side of Lafayette Street. They are passed by the West Side Trail.
Parsonage
The garrison-style house (now known as the Cutter House) at 60 Gilman Road, built circa 1730, is the oldest standing house in Yarmouth. It was the parsonage of the Ledge Church's first minister, Reverend Ammi Ruhamah Cutter. (Cutter was succeeded in the role by Nicholas Loring, who is buried in the Ledge Cemetery.) Perez B. Loring lived there in the mid-19th century.
Cemeteries
Two cemeteries are located nearby. Across Gilman Road from the former parsonage is the small, half-acre 1731 Pioneer Cemetery (also known as the Indian Fighters cemetery), which was the first public burial place in Old North Yarmouth. At corner of Gilman Road and Lafayette Street is the 2.5-acre 1770 Ledge Cemetery (some headstones bear dates earlier than 1770, for many bodies were removed from the older cemetery).
Tristram Gilman, for whom Gilman Road is named, was the fourth pastor at the meetinghouse. He served in the role for forty years, and was buried in the Ledge Cemetery upon his death in 1809, aged 73. His wife, Elizabeth Sayer, is buried beside him.
