Rubodvirus is a recently described plant virus genus belonging to the family Phenuiviridae in the order Bunyavirales. These plant viruses are transmitted from plant to plant through graft transmission. Diseases Apple rubbery wood, thought to be caused by Apple rubodvirus, is a disease of apple trees that is characterized by flexible limbs and atrophy of the vascular tissue. Grape Garan dmak virus (GGDV) and Grape muscat rose virus (GMRV) are both diseases of grapevines caused by species of Grape rubodvirus. Taxonomy Rubodvirus was created to encompass Apple rubodvirus after it was determined to be caused by a virus, and not phytoplasmas, as previously thought. With Grapevine rubodvirus, genetic sequencing showed great protein similarity with the recently discovered Apple rubodviruses 1 and 2, placing GMRV and GGDV in the genus rubodvirus. The name "Rubodvirus" comes from Rub- in "rubbery", and -od in "wood". The genus contains the following species: Apple rubodvirus 1 Apple rubodvirus 2 Grapevine rubodvirus 1 Grapevine rubodvirus 2 References External links ICTVdB—The Universal Virus Database, version 3.

The West Pier Public Convenience or Victorian Toilets is a public toilet on the west pier of the harbour of Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. This was commissioned in 1899 by the Rothesay Harbour Trustees. At that time, Rothesay was a major seaside resort, being located in the Firth of Clyde and so conveniently accessible by steamer from the major conurbation of Glasgow. To cater for the bustling crowds of day-trippers and holiday-makers, the toilets were well made with ornate fittings which were mostly supplied by Twyfords. The toilets were renovated in 1994. They had previously just been for gentlemen, according to the Victorian custom, but the renovations converted an adjacent storeroom and office to form a counterpart for ladies. The building is now listed for statutory protection as grade A and the historic toilets are now a tourist attraction. The Rough Guide to Scotland described them as "...a feast of marble, ceramics and brass so ornate that they are now one of the town's most celebrated sights".

"Russian warship, go fuck yourself!" (), is a response to Russian warships' call to surrender by Ukrainian border guards stationed on Snake Island during the Russian attack on Snake Island in Ukraine on 24 February 2022. This phrase became one of the symbols of Ukraine's struggle against the Russian occupiers. Those who opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine were so impressed with the bold answer that it went viral on various social media platforms. The recordings were circulated on the Internet, causing an uproar, and Ukrainians were greatly indignant. The 13 border guards who were mistakenly thought to have died in the attack were honoured on social media for their bravery, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he would "posthumously" award them the Order of the Hero of Ukraine. The Week compared the phrase to "Remember the Alamo" from the 19th century Texas Revolution. The phrase also has been compared to the Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, when the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Mehmed IV asked the surrender of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (which lived in modern Central Ukraine), who denied answering with a profanity-laden letter. On 28 February 2022, the Ukrainian Navy posted on its Facebook page that all the border guards of the island were thought to be alive and detained by the Russian Navy.

Taban Lupayi, often just called Taban, was a high-ranking Sudanese-born Ugandan military officer during the dictatorship of Idi Amin. He rose to commander of the Marine Regiment and deputy chief of staff of the Uganda Army following the 1971 Ugandan coup d'état, and became a member of Amin's inner circle. Taban deserted his post during the Uganda–Tanzania War in 1979, fleeing to southern Sudan. Biography Early life and rise to power An ethnic Nubian and/or Pojulu, Taban was a Muslim and nephew of Idi Amin. He was born in southern Sudan. In his early life, he worked as a houseboy and had very little education. Africa Confidential claimed that Taban was illiterate. He eventually joined the Uganda Army, and served as a private during the presidency of Milton Obote. When tensions rose between Obote and army commander Idi Amin, the latter organized a bodyguard of trusted soldiers, including Taban. Following the 1971 Ugandan coup d'état which allowed Amin to seize the presidency, Taban was promoted to officer in the Uganda Army. His rise was the result of his connections to Amin and his lowly background, as the new president feared that better-educated officers could eventually overthrow him and wanted to check their influence. According to researcher Samuel Decalo, Taban was a "particularily nasty and rowdy commander". Taban commanded the Libyan-trained Marine Regiment from 1974 to 1979. In March 1974, dissident soldiers attempted to overthrow Amin in the Arube uprising; Taban was one of the Amin loyalists whom the rebels intended to kill or arrest. Under his leadership, the Marines played a major role in defeating the coup attempt. At some point, Taban became a member of the Defense Council which factually governed Uganda under Amin. Like many high-ranking officers, Taban was engaged in smuggling on Lake Victoria. He consequently clashed with the Anti-Smuggling Unit (ASU), threatening and possibly murdering ASU agents to maintain his criminal activities. Over time, he developed a rivalry with Vice President Mustafa Adrisi; the two were even engaged in a shootout at some point. Adrisi was removed from power by Amin in April 1978. Taban was promoted from lieutenant colonel to brigadier in the following month. He eventually became deputy chief of staff as well. By late 1978, Taban was one of the few remaining members of Amin's inner circle after repeated purges. Uganda–Tanzania War and exile Tensions between Uganda and the neighboring country of Tanzania were high during Amin's rule. Taban was among the Uganda Army officers who called for a preemptive attack. In late 1978, the Uganda–Tanzania War broke out under unclear circumstances. After an initial Ugandan invasion of Tanzanian territory was defeated, the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) launched a counter-invasion and overran the border town of Mutukula on 21–22 January 1979. Although the garrison had been promised immediate reinforcements, these never arrived. Shortly after the battle, Taban and Lieutenant Colonel Godwin Sule arrived with a helicopter at nearby Sanje, to where the Mutukula garrison had retreated. They informed the local commander, Bernard Rwehururu, that the reinforcements had halted in Lukaya, to the north. This information was received badly by the local troops; Sule sensed that the soldiers could possibly revolt and instructed Taban to order the reinforcements to advance so that they could relieve Rwehururu's men. Regardless, the troops remained restitive. A warrant officer informed Taban that some angry infantrymen might be tempted to shoot the officers, causing Sule and Taban to quickly leave in their helicopter. At some point in January, Taban attended a party for the Soviet military advisers to Uganda, using the occasion to praise their aid to the Ugandan military. The Marines were among the last elements of the Uganda Army that stayed loyal to Amin in the Uganda–Tanzania War's later sages. According to Amin's son Jaffar Rembo, however, Taban and many of the Sudanese soldiers in the Marine Regiment fled the frontlines around the time of the Battle of Lukaya. Jaffar accused Taban and other high-ranking Ugandan commanders of having been bribed by the Tanzanians to mishandle the army. Taban initially fled north from Kampala to Arua before ultimately escaping to Sudan and settling down in Yei. A Drum reporter later encountered him there by chance, describing him as a "very frightened man". In 1983, Africa Confidential reported that Taban was still living in "oblivion" in Yei, hoping for Amin's eventual return to power in Uganda.

Dana Monroe (initially credited as Dana Adams) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Barbara Smith. Smith auditioned for the role over Zoom due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television and was cast as Dana, a love interest for established character Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell), making her first appearance on 1 April 2021. She was initially cast in a 6-month guest stint, but was promoted to a regular cast member and had her family introduced to the soap. She was overjoyed to have been cast due to having been a fan of the soap since her youth. Dana has been shown to be a bubbly, generous and likeable character. Smith was initially unsure if viewers would like her, but critics have noted that it has been refreshing to have a character with good intentions on EastEnders. As well as her on-off relationship with Bobby, her tumultuous relationships with her relatives have been central to Dana's storylines. Father Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) is shown to be a strict father to Dana and attempts to control her, while brother Aaron Monroe (Charlie Wernham) disgusts Dana with his racist and Islamophobic attitudes. Smith noted that despite Dana being at the bottom of the Monroe family's power hierarchy, it would not stop her from attempting to change their family's old-fashioned mindsets. Her relationship with Bobby has been well received by viewers and critics, with one of their scenes nominated for Feel Good Moment at the 2021 Inside Soap Awards. Smith was also nominated in the newcomer categories at the 2021 I Talk Telly Awards and the Digital Spy Reader Awards for her portrayal of Dana. Casting and characterisation Smith's casting was announced on 28 March 2021, when it was confirmed that she would be guest starring as a love interest for established character Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell). Smith said that she was attracted to playing Dana since she is a smiley and bubbly character, describing her as the "innocent wholesome version of the girl next door". She was also keen to be involved in a romantic storyline since she had not previously been part of one. Smith auditioned for the role of Dana over Zoom with executive producer Jon Sen and other members of the production team. Smith was unsure about her performance and felt that she could have changed things about her audition, so went for a walk with her mother afterwards to ease her thoughts. Hours later, her agent informed her that she had gotten the role and that she would begin filming imminently. She was initially contracted for six months. Smith noted her happiness at having been cast due to having been a long-term viewer of the soap; she described the moment she was told as "a moment [she will] remember for a long time". Smith had appeared in EastEnders prior to portraying Dana, when she played Ellie in 2019, a school student who gives Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield) drugs. However, the role was filmed on-location, and Smith had therefore not been on the set of EastEnders until 2021. When she arrived on set, Smith felt as though she was stepping into her television and said it was a moment where she had to pinch herself. She noted her "obsession" with the soap as a child and particularly noted her adoration for cast member Lacey Turner. Smith said that she is fairly similar to her character, specifically due to sharing a love for books and films. Dana is into anime, which Smith does not watch, but she felt that she is similar to her with how she likes to escape into fictional worlds. She said that Dana is the nicest character she has played throughout her career, adding that Walford needs more nice characters like her own. When asked what Smith liked the most about Dana, she said that it was her generosity and her willingness to do anything for her loved ones. She opined that in real life, she is more selfish than Dana, but liked being able to play such a likeable character. She felt that Dana was "quite an unusual character for soapland" since she only has good intentions and was unsure what the viewers' reception would be. Dana gets a job as a waitress, which Smith liked since she felt it made Dana more "rooted in reality" due to many 19-year-olds having waitressing jobs. She had worked as a waitress in real life prior to portraying Dana and said that the restaurant scenes reminded her of her times as a waitress. Development Introduction Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) makes it her mission to find love for Bobby and introduces him to Dana, setting the pair up on a date that aired on 1 April 2021. However, as Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) destroys his confidence prior to the date, the Metros Stephen Patterson wrote that this could affect Dana's date. Bobby introduces himself as 'Rob' on the date and tells Dana that he is the owner of Walford East, his family's restaurant, as well as owning his own house. However, Bobby's "lies threaten to catch up with him" when Dana unexpectedly arrives at Walford East. After continuing to lie about his identity, Bobby eventually becomes worried about their relationship when Dana announces that she wants to get more serious within their relationship. Smith was initially nervous to film romantic scenes with Russell, particularly when COVID-19 restrictions meant that they could not touch. This meant that Smith had to get it across that her character was interested in Bobby without touching him, which she found challenging. She was also nervous when they were able to kiss, but since Russell was nervous too, they formed a "we're in this together" mindset to allow them to do it. Viewers have given the pairing the portmanteau 'Bana'. Establishment of the Monroe family In June 2021, it was announced that Smith had been promoted to a regular cast member after her six-month testing period and that her father, Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman), would be joining the series. Smith was excited for Boatman to play her father since she was a fan of his after seeing him on the BBC series Mum. Digital Spy's Sophie Dainty wrote that Dana is close to Harvey and that he would be protective of her when he is introduced to Bobby. After Dana and Bobby have sex, he reveals to Dana that years ago, he murdered his sister and the truth about his life. She is disgusted by what he has done and how he has lied, telling him their relationship is over. Digital Spy's Susannah Alexander wrote that Dana may have "been put off him for good after his revelations", hinting the end of their relationship. Bobby's brother, Peter Beale (Dayle Hudson), secretly contacts Dana and asks her to give Bobby another chance. While no there was no prior confirmation on if she would continue their relationship, the Radio Times predicted that the pair would reconcile. The pair eventually reconcile and initially decide against telling Harvey about Bobby's past. Actress Smith said that the decision to lie to her father causes Dana anxiety since she is close to Harvey and has never lied to him. She explained: "She's not a typical teenager that goes out to parties or sneaks out. She's never had a boyfriend before, it's all very new to her so she's worried about Harvey finding out." Smith added that since Harvey is a strict father, he may forbid the relationship, but expressed her personal hopes that their relationship continued as she liked the pairing. After the introduction of Boatman's character, their characters were allotted a home set on the set of EastEnders. Smith found the experience unbelievable and surreal, accrediting her excitement to it being near the Beale family's house, which she felt is an iconic part of the EastEnders set. Smith also noted that having the set allowed her to play her role as Dana better, since the photographs of Boatman and herself around the flat allowed her to "feel immersed in their world". She expressed her enjoyment at working with Boatman, as she felt that she was learning from his acting experience. Smith added that despite his experience, Boatman is "happy to run with [her] ideas" for scenes which she felt allowed them to build a good father-daughter relationship with him, both on-screen and off-screen. In August 2021, it was announced that Charlie Wernham had been cast as Dana's older brother, Aaron Monroe. Digital Spy's Lisa Wehrstedt hinted that there would be tension between the siblings due to Dana often feeling shut out by Aaron, leading the pair to have a "strained relationship". Sen added that the siblings are the opposite to each other in terms of personality. Smith said that Dana's biggest issues with Aaron are his views, his arrogance and his stubbornness. She detests his Islamophobic and racist comments and makes continuous efforts to change his mindset. On her place in the Monroe family, Smith explained that if there was a power ranking, Dana would most likely be towards the bottom. However, despite not "having much sway", this does not stop Dana from trying to change things within the family. She added that despite being loyal to her family, she would also criticise their methods when she feels it is necessary. Smith has expressed her wishes to see Dana's mother introduced, as she felt that it would explain a lot about Dana's personality. Attack and rocky relationships In September 2021, it was revealed that Dana would be attacked in forthcoming scenes. Since Bobby and his friends are Muslims and are pushing for the opening of a mosque in Walford, Dana supports their movement. Harvey tries to dissuade Dana of her relationship with Bobby, but she remains adamant that she is happy with him. Whilst handing out flyers for the mosque, Dana notices a group of men saying racial slurs heading for them; they are all cornered and attacked by the group, with Dana getting "brutally" physically assaulted. A helpless Bobby watches on and is later "consumed with his own guilt" for not being able to prevent the attack. Dana becomes unsure about the future of their relationship due to his lack of action in the attack, and in an attempt to fix their relationship, Bobby tries to persuade Harvey that he would be a supportive boyfriend. Harvey tells Dana that she needs to forget about Bobby and go to university in Glasgow, which she is upset about. Dana is angry about him going to Harvey rather than her personally, and in "heartbreaking" scenes, Dana dumps Bobby. Dana tells Bobby: "I've spent my life having him make my decisions for me. I'm not going to spend my life with another man who thinks he can do the exact same thing. We're done." However, after seeing Bobby obsessively cleaning the kitchen at Walford East due to an OCD relapse, the pair talk and decide to reconcile. However, Sam Warner of Digital Spy hinted that Harvey may never truly approve of Bobby. When Harvey makes a racist comment to Ash Kaur (Gurlaine Kaur Garcha), Dana pushes him to apologise to Ash. However, Aaron is furious with her for not sticking by their father, telling Dana to "keep [her] mouth shut". Wernham hinted that when his "controversial" character finds out that Dana is dating a Muslim, he would "have an opinion on whether he's good enough for her". It was later announced that Aaron would be a sinister villain on EastEnders. Dana does not initially know of his criminal nature and just thinks he is "arrogant and says ignorant things". However, Smith said that once Dana discovers his true self, there would be a lot for her to process. Dana informs Aaron that she is contemplating converting to Islam and Susannah Alexander's Digital Spy wrote that his fury could leave Dana in danger. EastEnders announced that Aaron's storyline would explore issues of racism and religious hatred and that Dana could be affected by a bombing he is involved in. After Aaron is arrested for trying to bomb the Albert and Bobby dumps Dana, Dana and Harvey plan to leave Walford, despite Dana believing that she could be pregnant. Bobby discovers of her potential pregnancy and proposes to her, to which she says no and confirms that she is not pregnant. Kathy sees the proposal and exposes the Monroes in front of a crowd for having a terrorist in their family. Smith enjoyed the storyline as she felt is developed Dana as a character aside from being Bobby's love interest and appreciated being able to see more of her character. She also hoped that Dana and Bobby's angst had come to an end since she liked the pairing. However, Smith appreciated that the couple were normal and that teenagers could relate to their relationship since under all of the hardships, "they're two teenagers very much in love". She explained that their youth and lack of experience in serious relationships had contributed to them having trouble navigating their relationship. Smith was asked who she would like to film with in future, to which she said that Dana having interactions with Stacey Slater (Turner) would be interesting, especially since she is a fan of Turner. She was also asked which storylines she would implement if she was in charge. Smith said that she would love to see Dana in charge of people and executing her own visions, as well as working with people who have been radicalised and having "a bigger voice". Smith said that Dana would have been ready to accept his proposal if he was not doing it out of obligation to her. She said that despite being young and unready to get married, Dana is "so wrapped up in her love for Bobby that she doesn't always think logically". She hoped that the couple would get married one day and expressed her excitement at the thought of filming a soap wedding, having loved Stacey and Bradley Branning's (Charlie Clements) as a child. However, she hoped that prior to a wedding, Dana would have been explored more as a singular character. Reception Susan Knox of the Daily Mirror described Dana as a "brunette beauty" and noted that Smith is a talented actress. Knox added that Dana and Bobby's relationship "has kept fans gripped" and felt that it would continue to do so in forthcoming scenes. The Daily Mirror reported that viewers of EastEnders were "delighted" to see Dana kiss Bobby, specifically due to the lack of social distancing during the scenes. Viewers were "happy to witness some normality again", since the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television meant that cast members on the soap had to socially distance. The scene of Bobby stopping Dana from leaving Walford was nominated for Feel Good Moment at the 2021 Inside Soap Awards. Smith was also nominated in the newcomer categories at the 2021 I Talk Telly Awards and Digital Spy Reader Awards for her portrayal of Dana. Viewers were horrified by Dana's attack from the Islamophobic gang, with many Tweeting that the attack was too violent and hoping that Dana would be okay. After scenes of Harvey and Aaron being casually racist, the Metros Calli Kitson appreciated that Dana is nothing like them, adding that viewers have noticed the difference too. OK! magazine wrote that Dana "lights up screens" and that she has proved popular with viewers. Metros Duncan Lindsay said that it is not common a soap character is genuinely nice and has no ulterior motives so Dana is a "breath of fresh air" for EastEnders. Smith noted that she had received numerous messages from fans "saying they love her, she has a heart of gold and they want to protect her", as well as complimenting her acting skills. In February 2022, Inside Soaps Kate White wrote that Dana and Bobby are an "adorable duo" and hoped that their families would allow them to stay together. Smith told the magazine that she was surprised to have such a positive reaction to the couple.

TU Ursae Majoris is a variable star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It is classified as a Bailey-type 'ab' RR Lyrae variable with a period of 0.557648 days that ranges in brightness from apparent visual magnitude of 9.26 down to 10.24. The distance to this star is approximately 2,090 light years based on parallax measurements. It is located near the north galactic pole at a distance that indicates this is a member of the galactic halo. The periodic variability of this star was discovered by P. Guthnick and R. Prager in 1929. Its relative brightness has made this star the subject of regular observation since its discovery, both photographically and then photoelectrically starting in 1957. It was initially classed as a Bailey-type "a" RR Lyrae variable. The variations were found to be somewhat similar to RR Lyrae, with the periodicity of TU UMa differing by less than 1% of a day. However, no evidence of a long-period modulation, known as the Blazhko effect, was found in this star. In 1990, A. Saha and R. E. White found variations in radial velocity over time that suggested this is a binary system. However, confirmation of this proved difficult because of the distance and the pulsational behavior of the variable. The system shows significant evidence of proper motion acceleration from a binary interaction. Analysis of long-term oscillatory variations suggests an orbital period of 23.3 years and an eccentricity of 0.79, with the secondary having at least 33% of the mass of the Sun.

Atlanta (spelled Atlăn′tă on the album cover) is a live album by saxophonist Evan Parker. It was recorded in December 1986 in Atlanta, Georgia, and was released by Impetus Records in 1990. On the album, Parker is joined by bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "Parker's interplay with his rhythm section is akin to a rough dancer skidding along the floor to a graceful, elegant orchestra. The interplay between Guy and Lytton is so mesmerizing, so completely self-contained, it's Parker who has to focus on them or he'll be lost in the glorious tumult. The rhythmic communication... is breathtaking. As for Parker, there is little to say except that, despite having to be very physical on this evening, he was aware of everything, offering whatever color and shape, whatever texture or fragment that might be useful to the rhythmic dance, though he was the frontman. This is a must-have for fans of this trio." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars, and stated: "Here Parker has refined and simplified his small-group playing to the point where one can almost reconstruct the possibility... of melody. This is one of the most accessible documents he has ever issued, the one most likely to appeal to listeners devoted to jazz and suspicious of anything that departs from chords. Guy and Lytton fulfil every expectation of a conventional bass-and-drums configuration without once touching fixed base." Writing for All About Jazz, John Eyles commented: "There is no shortage of recordings relating to this trio. Atlanta... is one of the best places to begin investigating it. As always, it is not a sax-plus-rhythm-section trio but an exchange between three equals." Lawrence Joseph wrote: "Like the classic John Coltrane Quartet, there is an advantage to knowing your partners well; extra freedom and risk taking abilities are gained from the knowledge that your band mates are willing and able to follow you anywhere... In the hope that others will experience the revelations this group brought to me, I strongly recommend this CD as a way into British free improvisation."

On February 25, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that he would nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to succeed Stephen Breyer as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. At the time of her pending nomination, Jackson is a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to which she was appointed by Biden in 2021. On February 28, 2022, her nomination was sent to the Senate. Her nomination is pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee. If confirmed, Jackson would be the first African-American woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Background On January 26, 2022, NBC News reported that Justice Stephen Breyer planned to step down at the end of the court's current term, giving Biden his first opportunity to name a justice to the Supreme Court. In the wake of the impending Supreme Court vacancy, Democratic groups announced plans for a multi-million dollar campaign to promote Biden's eventual nominee. Demand Justice, a nonprofit led by Democratic strategists, said it would spend whatever it takes in order to get the nomination through the Senate. Nomination Potential candidates On January 27, Biden reiterated his intention to keep his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman. An ABC News/Ipsos poll a few days after found that 76% of Americans believed Biden should consider all possible nominees, while a smaller share of Democrats, at 54%, said the same. Only 23% said he should follow through on his pledge to consider only nominees who are Black women. A simultaneous Morning Consult/Politico poll found that 51% of Americans supported Biden's intention to nominate a Black woman, including 82% of Democrats and 47% of independents. A poll in early February by Data for Progress found that 64% of Americans (including 93% of Democrats and 59% of independents) supported Biden's decision to nominate a Black woman. Some Republicans criticized Biden's pledge to nominate the first Black woman to the court as hypocritical, referencing his 2005 threat to filibuster Janice Rogers Brown, a conservative judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, if she was nominated to the Supreme Court. Around February 22, 2022, it was reported that Biden had met with his top three contenders, Ketanji Brown Jackson, J. Michelle Childs, and Leondra Kruger. Announcement On February 25, it was announced that Biden would nominate Judge Jackson. In his remarks on the announcement, Biden listed "traits of pragmatism, historical perspective, wisdom, [and] character" as criteria for the nomination, characterized Jackson's rulings as "carefully reasoned, tethered to precedent, and [demonstrating respect] for how the law impacts everyday people," and cited her experience as a public defender, trial court judge, and member of the Sentencing Commission. Voting alignment Analysis by FiveThirtyEight reported that Jackson would likely rule in similar ways to other Democratic appointees on the Court, with Judicial Common Space scores placing her as slightly more moderate than these Justices and estimates from the Database of Ideology, Money in Politics, and Elections placing her as slightly more liberal than them. Responses to nomination Support Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee including Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Richard Blumenthal, Amy Klobuchar, and Patrick Leahy voiced their support for Jackson's nomination. Opposition Some Republican Party leaders and Senators voiced early opposition, while many others stated that they would evaluate Jackson's nomination. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell characterized Jackson as "the favored choice of far-left dark-money groups that have spent years attacking the legitimacy and structure of the court itself." The Republican National Committee called Jackson "a radical, left-wing activist who would rubberstamp Biden’s disastrous agenda." Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who had previously voted in favor of Jackson's confirmation to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, stated that the nomination "means the radical Left has won President Biden over yet again." Polling A poll of registered voters conducted by Politico and Morning Consult during February 25–27 found that 46% of respondents favored Jackson's confirmation, 17% opposed it, and 36% had no opinion.

Deadly Games is a 1982 American slasher film written and directed by Scott Mansfield, and starring Alexandra Morgan, Jo Ann Harris, Sam Groom, Steve Railsback, Denise Galik, Colleen Camp, and June Lockhart. It follows a small town terrorized by a ski-masked serial murderer targeting young women. Plot Linda Lawrence is attacked by a ski-masked intruder in her rural home, and pushed from a second story window to her death. Her sister, Clarissa "Keegan" Lawrence, a successful journalist, returns to their hometown upon the news of her sister's death. Linda's death is investigated by police officer Roger Lane, who attempts to determine whether it was an accident, suicide, or a murder. At a local diner, Keegan she runs into several female friends and acquaintances from high school: Mary Adams, Chris Howlett, Carol Bailey, Randy, and Susan Theresa "Sooty" Lane, the latter of whom is married to Roger. After visiting with her estranged mother, Marge, Keegan attends a flag football game with her old friends and acquaintances. There, she notices a brooding man sitting on the sidelines whom she does not immediately recognize. Mary informs her the man is Billy Owens, a former classmate of theirs, and a Vietnam War veteran who sustained significant injuries in battle. The introverted Billy now works at the local movie theater changing film reels, and has a close friendship with Roger over their mutual service in Vietnam. At a pool party later that night, Roger gets angry with Randy after finding her kissing another man. She rebukes him, telling him she is not beholden to him as they have merely carried on a casual affair. After the party ends, a ski-masked assailant attacks Randy in the pool, binding her legs with wire and anchoring her to a grate at the bottom, effectively drowning her. After the news of Randy's death, Keegan meets Chris at a bar, where a worried Chris tells her that Laura and Randy were both dating the same man, but she does not name him. Roger meets Keegan at Linda's home where she is staying, and the two go to see a movie at the theater while Billy is working; Billy accompanies the two during the screening, and afterward the three spend hours talking and playing a board game. A romance begins to blossom between Keegan and Roger. A short time later, Chris is attacked in a parking garage by the killer, who manages to strangle her unconscious, though his attempt to kill her is thwarted when two lot attendants interrupt the attack. Later, Roger reveals to Sooty that he is the killer, and strangles her to death. Shortly after, Chris is attacked again late at night while driving her car by the killer in the backseat. She stops the vehicle and flees on foot into the woods, eventually stumbling upon an overgrown cemetery. The killer manages to capture her before burying her alive in a grave. Later, Roger sits in the theater basement and recounts to himself how he unintentionally caused Linda's death by trying to simply frighten her; the thrill he received from her dying, however, propelled him to begin actively committing murders. Keegan visits the movie theater after Roger fails to arrive at a restaurant for a date. In the theater basement, she is startled by Roger and shoots him to death. Billy then appears, and stalks Keegan through the theater basement. In a disarrayed prop room, Keegan finds Sooty's corpse lying amongst mannequins. She runs upstairs, stumbling on the theater stage. Billy, over an intercom, chastises Keegan for killing Roger, his only friend. The lights suddenly go out, and Billy swings on a rope from the rafters toward Keegan to kill her. Cast Release Deadly Games aired on television networks such as Showtime in the spring of 1982. It was given regional theatrical releases in the United States, opening in St. Louis on September 2, 1982. It subsequently screened in Kansas City, Missouri on November 5, 1982, as part of a triple-bill at local drive-in theaters. Home media Deadly Games was released on Blu-ray by Arrow Films in the United States and United Kingdom on February 22, 2022.

On 10 November, 1944, men of the United States Marine Corps invaded the island of Betio, located at the southwest corner of Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands chain in the Central Pacific. This invasion, known as Operation Galvanic, was a phase of the Pacific Theatre of World War II. The landings on Betio were the Americans' third amphibious operation of the Pacific War, after Guadalcanal Island and Cape Torokina on Bougainville Island, but the first in which the Japanese vigorously resisted the landings on the beaches, pinning the Marines down with machine-gun and mortar fire. Worse, American planners at Pearl Harbor had grievously misjudged the timing of high tide at Betio, leaving the landing craft stranded on the shallow coral reefs where the Marines were slaughtered. The island was declared secure after three days. Given the small size of Betio (0.59 sq. mi.), planners had expected it to take one.

Raptor persecution is a crime against wildlife which includes poisoning, shooting, trapping, and nest destruction/disturbance of birds of prey. Background There is a long history of game bird shooting and hunting for sport and the international trafficking of wildlife products, including raptors and raptor feathers, is a billion-dollar industry. Wind turbines are an increasing feature in rural areas and raptors have been struck or killed by the circling blades. In some countries raptors are hunted for use use in falconry. In China people capture eagles and other raptors for falconry festivals which attract tourists In Germany buzzards and hawks are at risk and the red kite is endangered. Understanding and tackling raptor persecution is complex beacuse the reasons behind it are shaped by the local, cultural and historic conditions. United Kingdom Birds of prey are protected species in the UK and criminal offences against them are covered by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. But it is a crime which is difficult to monitor due to the remoteness of many of the areas in which the birds live and cultural and social pressures in certain sectors of the rural community which discourage reporting. Incidents of egg thefts and illegal killings of birds of prey, including red kites, peregrine falcons and barn owl increased in England during the lock down period sof the Covid19 pandemic but in Wales have decreased considerably . The RSPB began recording in 1990. Their Birdcrime report covers known offences against birds of prey. The report describes this crime as widespread and relentless, but results in very few convictions In 2020 the RSPB confirmed 137 incidents. Many of the confirmed incidents occured on land managed for gamebird shooting. The Scottish Raptor Monitoring Scheme (SRMS) works to improve co-operation between organisations involved in raptor monitoring in Scotland. Founded in 1980, The Scottish Raptor Study Group monitor and record the fortunes of raptor species across Scotland. Since 2002 they have produced an annual report. In the SRMS the common raven is given 'honorary raptor ' status as a bird of prey by virtue of its ecological similarity to raptors. North Yorkshire has particularly high raptor persecution levels The survival of the Hen Harrier in the UK is of particular concern as one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution.Hen harriers share space with grouse and research shows that hen harriers fare best on those estates with no shooting interests. The interests of conservationists often clash with game keepers and landowners. The Welsh Government began funding an RSPB Raptor Officer in 2020 The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) investigate incidents in relation to the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 and the Wildlife & Natural Environment Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. No-one has ever been successfully prosecuted for raptor persecution offences in Northern Ireland. In 2020 the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) and other country sports groups including the Countryside Alliance (CA), Moorland Association (MA), National Gamekeepers’ Organisation (NGO) declared “zero tolerance” against raptor persecution.

Atesh (Persian: The Fire) was a Persian language right-wing newspaper which was published from 1946 to 1947 in Tehran, Iran. History and profile Atesh was first published on 18 April 1946 as a weekly newspaper. The license holder and editor was Mehdi Mir Ashrafi who was elected to the Majlis during the premiership of Mohammad Mosaddegh. The paper was based in Tehran and frequently featured political satire and cartoons. Atesh had a right-wing political stance and was the only outspoken publication at that period in Iran. It was also one of the fierce critics of Iranian politician Ahmad Qavam and his cabinet. Due to its critical approach Atesh was banned in May and July 1946. In October it was restarted, and its frequency was switched to daily. From that date he began to criticize the Russian policies adopted by the government which led to its suppression in December 1946 and in February 1947. The paper ceased publication in June 1947 following its final ban by the Qavam government. The official reason for the closure of Atesh was the publication of the articles against the interests of the country.

Ramayan is an upcoming animated Film produced by Dhumik Pravin and Motzoid. The film is releasing on 27 March. It is based on Valmiki’s Ramayana. Plot Dasharatha was the King of Ayodhya and had three spouses and four children. Rama was the oldest and his mom was Kaushalya. Bharata was the child of Dasharatha's second and most loved spouse, Queen Kaikeyi. The other two were twins, Lakshmana and Shatrughna whose mother was Sumithra. In the adjoining city the ruler's girl was named Sita. Whenever it was the ideal opportunity for Sita to pick her husband (at a function called a swayamvara) rulers from everywhere the land were approached to string a monster bow which nobody could lift. Notwithstanding, as Rama got it, he not just hung the bow, he broke it. Seeing this, Sita showed that she had picked Rama as her better half by putting a laurel around his neck. Their affection turned into a model for the whole realm as they investigated the realm under the careful attention of his dad the ruler. A couple of years after the fact, King Dasharatha concluded the time had come to give his privileged position to his oldest child Rama and resign to the woodland. Everybody appeared to be satisfied, save Queen Kaikeyi since she needed her child Bharata to run the show. In view of a vow Dasharatha had made to her prior years, she got the lord to consent to expel Rama for quite some time and to crown Bharata, despite the fact that the ruler begged her not to request such a solicitation. The crushed King couldn't confront Rama and it was Queen Kaikeyi who told Rama the King's announcement. Rama, consistently devoted, was content to go into expulsion in the timberland. Sita and Lakshmana went with him on his exile. On one occasion Rama and Lakshmana injured a rakshasas (devil) princess who attempted to tempt Rama. She got back to her sibling Ravana, the ten-headed leader of Lanka. In counter, Ravana formulated an arrangement to snatch Sita in the wake of finding out about her unique excellence. He sent one of his evil presences masked as a mystical brilliant deer to tempt Sita. To satisfy her, Rama and Lakshmana went to chase the deer down. Before they did however, they drew a defensive circle around Sita and told her that she would be ok however long she didn't aerobics the circle. After Rama and Lakshmana left, Ravana showed up as a blessed man asking aid. The second Sita ventured external the circle to give him food, Ravana snatched her and conveyed her to his realm in Lanka. Rama then, at that point, looked for the assistance of a band of monkeys proposition to assist him with tracking down Sita. Hanuman, the general of the monkey band can fly since his dad is the breeze. He traveled to Lanka and, observing Sita in the forest, console her and told her Rama would come to save her soon. Ravana's men caught Hanuman, and Ravana requested them to wrap Hanuman's tail in material and to set it ablaze. With his tail consuming, Hanuman got away and jumped from house-top to house-top, setting Lanka ablaze. He then, at that point, flew back to Rama to let him know where Sita was. Rama, Lakshmana and the monkey armed force assembled an interstate from the tip of India to Lanka and moved over to Lanka where an astronomical fight resulted. Rama killed a few of Ravana's siblings and ultimately stood up to the ten-headed Ravana. He killed Ravana, liberated Sita and after Sita demonstrated here immaculateness, they got back to Ayodhya where Bharata returned the crown to him.

Music from the Spheres is an album by saxophonist Sonny Simmons. It was recorded in December 1966, and was released by ESP-Disk in 1968. On the album, Simmons is joined by saxophonist Bert Wilson, trumpeter Barbara Donald, pianist Mike Cohen, bassist Juney Booth, and drummer Jim Zitro. The album was included in the 2005 compilation The Complete ESP-Disk Recordings. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "Composition was the motivating factor for Simmons as a musician at the time, and despite his great talent as an improviser, it remains in the hold of his operative sustenance... here Simmons used strong modal figures to serve as both melody lines, stacking all of his players accordingly on the line, and equally as harmonic building blocks from which to continually push forward mode and interval... There aren't any weak moments here, just a very expansive hint on what was to come." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, and stated that it "is immediately marked by the leader's obvious empathy with trumpeter Donald. They work superbly together on the opening 'Resolutions', an enterprising modal composition that sounds like no one else playing at the time. On 'Balladia' the group sound is reminiscent of the classic Ornette-Cherry quartet, though the piano is a giveaway, suggesting a different harmonic approach... the best thing on the set is the ambitious 'Zarak's Symphony', a strangely vulnerable and elusive idea that isn't allowed to outstay its welcome."

The Bohee Brothers were a Canadian musical duo that consisted of James Bohee (1844-1897) and George Bohee (1857-1930). They were banjo players of Caribbean descent. The brothers were born in Indiantown, New Brunswick, Canada. Their family later moved to Boston, USA where James began his musical career playing banjo in the late 1860s. They organized their own Bohee Minstrels around 1876 which later joined a few other minstrels. The company toured the United States of America until they moved to England in 1881. The company eventually returned to the United States but the Bohee Brothers stayed in London and continued to tour and perform regularly in Europe until James' death. Their performance was popular because "they played and danced at the same time". "They also wrote their own material, and their songs were widely copied". In addition to performing, they ran a banjo teaching studio. James gave lessons to the Prince of Wales.

Tihomir Đuričić (; born 21 April 1959) is a politician in Serbia. He has served in the National Assembly of Serbia (2004–07) and the Assembly of Vojvodina (2004–08), and as mayor of Kula (2004–06). Đuričić is a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS). Early life and private career Đuričić was born in Odžaci, Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He was raised in the village of Lipar in the neighbouring municipality of Kula. After service in the Yugoslav People's Army, he started working for "Bačka put" Novi Sad in 1979. Đuričić became a private entrepreneur in 1984 and was employed with Rodić MB from 1992 to 2000. Politician Đuričić became the president of the SRS board in Kula in 1999. He appeared in the second position on the party's electoral list for the Sombor division in the 2000 Yugoslavian parliamentary election; the party did not win any seats in the division. He was also a candidate for the Kula–Bačka Topola division in the concurrent 2000 Vojvodina provincial election and was defeated. Slobodan Milošević was defeated as Yugoslavia's president in the 2000 election, a watershed moment in Serbian and Yugoslavian politics. A new Serbian parliamentary election was called after his defeat for December 2000; prior to the vote, Serbia's electoral laws were changed such that the entire country was counted as a single electoral district and all parliamentary mandates were awarded to candidates at the discretion of the sponsoring parties and coalitions, irrespective of their numerical order on the electoral lists. Đuričić was given the eighty-second position on the Radical Party's list; the list won twenty-three seats, and he was not given a mandate. Parliamentarian, provincial representative, and mayor Đuričić received the 106th position on the Radical Party's list in the 2003 Serbian parliamentary election. The list won eighty-two seats, and he was not initially included in his party's assembly delegation. He was, however, given a mandate on 17 February 2004 as the replacement for another party member. Although the Radicals won more seats than any other party in the 2003 parliamentary election, they fell well short of a majority and ultimately served in opposition. In parliament, Đuričić served as a member of the committee on transport and communications. Serbia introduced the direct election of mayors in the 2004 Serbian local elections, and Đuričić was elected as the mayor of Kula, defeating Slaviša Božović of the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS) in the second round. He was also elected to the Vojvodina assembly in the concurrent 2004 provincial election, winning the redistributed Kula constituency seat. The DS and its allies won the provincial election, and the Radicals served in opposition. Kula's municipal government proved to be unstable after the 2004 election, and in May 2006 Đuričić was defeated in a recall election. He subsequently lost a by-election to choose a new mayor, falling to DS candidate Svetozar Bukvić in the second round. During the by-election campaign, Đuričić was convicted of stealing electricity at his family home and given a three-month jail sentence, suspended for one year. Đuričić was included in the Radical Party's electoral lists for the 2007 and 2008 parliamentary elections, although he was not given a mandate on either occasion. He was also defeated in his bid for re-election in the Kula constituency seat in the 2008 Vojvodina provincial election, once again losing to Bukvić in the second round of voting. The direct election of mayors proved to be a short-lived experiment; with the 2008 local elections, Serbia returned to a system of having mayors chosen by the elected members of city and municipal assemblies. The DS narrowly defeated the SRS in the 2008 local election in Kula; Đuričić was re-elected to the assembly and served in opposition. The Radical Party experienced a serious split later in 2008, with several members joining the more moderate Serbian Progressive Party (Srpska napredna stranka, SNS) under the leadership of Tomislav Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić. Đuričić remained with the Radicals. Svetozar Bukvić resigned as Kula's mayor in late 2011, and the Serbian government appointed a provisional administration with representatives from different parties pending new elections. Đuričić served as the SRS's representative. Since 2011 Serbia's electoral laws were reformed in 2011, such that mandates were assigned in numerical order in all elections held under proportional representation. Đuričić was given the 161st position on the Radical Party's list for the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election; this was too low a position for election to be a realistic prospect, although the question proved moot when the party, weakened by the 2008 split, fell below the electoral threshold. He also ran for the Kula constituency seat again the 2012 provincial election and finished in sixth place against Jovan Janić of the DS. He was re-elected to the Kula municipal assembly in the 2012 local elections as the Radicals fell to only two seats out of thirty-seven. Vojvodina switched to a system of full proportional representation for the 2016 provincial election. Đuričić received the twenty-eighth position on the Radical Party's list and was not elected when the list won ten mandates. He alsoled the SRS list in the concurrent 2016 local elections and was re-elected when the party again won two seats in the Kula municipal assembly. The SNS won a narrow majority victory in the Kula election; following the vote, Đuričić was appointed as an assistant to new mayor Perica Videkanjić on the economy, agriculture, and infrastructure. By virtue of holding his position, he was required to resign his assembly seat. The local SNS organization in Kula became divided into factions after 2016, and Videkanjić resigned as mayor in May 2018. A new local election was held later that year, and Đuričić again led the SRS list. The party fell below the threshold for assembly representation. Đuričić appeared in the nineteenth position on the SRS's list in the 2020 Vojvodina provincial election. The list won four mandates and he was again not elected.

Rosa 'Black Baccara' (aka 'MEIdebenne') is a dark burgundy Hybrid tea rose cultivar, bred by French rose hybridizer, Jacques Mouchotte, before 2000. Meilland International introduced the rose in France in 2000. The rose was also introduced in America by Star Roses and Plants/Conard-Pyle in 2002. Description 'Black Baccara' is a tall, upright hybrid tea rose, in height, with a spread. Bloom size ranges from . It has a high-centered, very full (41+ petals) bloom form. The flowers are dark red-burgundy with a velvety texture. They are carried mostly solitary on strong, thick stems and bloom in flushes from spring to fall. Flowers have little or no fragrance. Foliage is dark green and glossy. 'Black Baccara' makes an excellent container plant. History Meilland International The Meilland family is a multi-generational family of French rose breeders. The family's first rosarian was gardener, Joseph Rambaux, who first started breeding roses in 1850 in Lyon. He is best known for developing the Polyantha 'Perle d'Or'. His wife, Claudine and son-in-law, Francois Dubreuil, took over the nursery after Rambaux died in 1878. Dubreuil became a successful rose breeder and grower. In 1900, Dubreuil hired sixteen year old, Antoine Meilland, as a gardening assistant, where Meilland worked alongside Dubreuil's daughter, Claudia. Antoine and Claudia married in 1909 and their son, Francis was born in 1912. The couple took over Dubreuil's nursery after his death death in 1916. After World War I, Antoine and Claudia bought property in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, near Lyon and started a new nursery. Their son, Francis worked at the nursery and eventually took over the nursery. He expanded the rose business over several years into a large, international company, and became the most famous and prolific rose breeder in the family. His legendary 'Peace' rose, brought the family international attention and great commercial success when it was introduced after World War II. The Meilland family merged their business with Francisque Richardier in 1946, so that Francis Meilland could focus solely on breeding roses. After Francis's early death in 1958, his wife Louisette continued to breed roses, introducing many awarding winning new varieties. The new company, Meilland-Richardier grew into Meilland International (AKA House of Meilland), and is located in Le Luc en Provence, France. Francis and Louisette's children, Alain and Michele, were both successful rose breeders for the company. In 1978, Jacques Mouchotte took over the company's rose breeding program, and developed a large number of new rose varieties until his retirement in 2013.

Righeira is the debut studio album by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira. Produced by La Bionda, it was released on the CGD label in 1983. The album included the duo's first three singles, including the hit singles "Vamos a la playa" and "No Tengo Dinero", and the less successful single "Tanzen Mit Righeira". Recording and production The recording sessions began in August in Weryton Studios' premises in Munich. By September 1983, eight songs had been recorded and mixed. Righeira were introduced to La Bionda in 1982 and they signed a contract which lasted to 1987. As Michelangelo and Carmelo La Bionda had moved their productions to Munich in the mid-1970s, and Righeira was signed to them, they decided they would record their debut album there. La Bionda gave Righeira a chance to experiment with their own sound. Many of the album's songs featured a futuristic and modern sound, including "Vamos a la playa" whose lyrics talks about the explosion of an atomic bomb. Release Initially, the album was planned to be released just before Christmas. The album spawned the hit singles "Vamos a la playa" and "No Tengo Dinero" which helped Righeira with establishing a reputation as a modern dance duo. "Vamos a la playa" had already became a fan favourite as it was released several months before the debut album. The song managed to reach number 53 on the UK Singles Chart and ultimately made Stefano Righi and Stefano Rota famous in continental Europe. "No Tengo Dinero" achieved high popularity in the Netherlands and West Germany, peaking at number 10 and 12, respectively.

The book won the Atlantic Monthly Prize and $5,000 in 1929 "for the most interesting biography of any kind, sort, or description." The book is based on an interview she had on her mother-in-law's 99th birthday. Allene Sumner of the Rock Island Argus said, "Because Harriet Connor Brown - of Washington, D. C., was not too busy to listen to the tales of older people, not too interested in and sure of the superiority of everything modern and a little scornful of any worth in the good old days, she has won fame and fortune." Former Vice President Charles G. Dawes said, "Here is a fine picture of the New England character as it reacted 200 years after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers to a new environment. The book is more than that. It is an epic of American life in the early and later days of the middle west. It is an epic of American life in the early and later days of middle west." Brown also wrote Report on the mineral resources of Cuba in 1901 for the U. S. Geological Survey, World disarmament in 1921 for the U.S. Government Printing Office, and America menaced by militarism, an appeal to women.

Oceans is the second studio album by London-based British-Japanese rock band Esprit D'Air. It was released on February 18, 2022, through the band’s own Starstorm Records with a distribution partnership with AWAL and Plastic Head Distribution. Work on the album began in 2018, but was halted due to the theft of producer and singer Kai’s laptop and backups in 2019, which delayed new singles and the album releases. Esprit D'Air completed the album in late in 2021 after successfully crowdfunding the album. Oceans is a very genre-fluid album containing various metal and rock genres with elements of electronics and piano. It was produced entirely by Kai with collaborations from session musicians and featured artists including Ben Christo from The Sisters of Mercy and Ryo Kinoshita from Crystal Lake, and Japanese vocaloid artist UmiKazeTaiyou. Composition Critics have identified the style to be genre-fluid with various tracks ranging from djent and electronicore to power metal and post-rock. The use of digital synthesizer is prevalent in most tracks, much like their debut album Constellations. Singles Esprit D'Air released multiple singles from the album including their most popular song "Leviathan", which premiered on Loudwire, as well as songs such as "The Abyss" featuring Ryo Kinoshita from Crystal Lake, and "Dead Zone" featuring Ben Christo from The Sisters of Mercy. Accolades Despite lack of support from major press and radio, "Oceans" peaked at #13 in the UK's rock and metal albums charts, and #7 in the independent albums charts.

Hawduqo Mansur (; ?-1846) was a Circassian politician and military commander who served as the 3rd leader of the Circassian Confederation from 1839 to 1846. He took part in the Russo-Circassian War. He was elected as the leader of Circassia in 1839. He was defined as "a man who gained superiority with his voice on the rostrum and with his sword in war". Biography Early life Not much is recorded about Hawduqo, as Circassians did not write down their history, and all knowledge comes from Russian sources. His exact birth date is not known. Of Circassian nobility, he was raised with a martial education. Name It is not known if Hawduqo is his surname or nickname. One theory is that it means "The King", as he was elected as the leader of all Circassians. Speech to the nation In 1840, he gave a speech adressing Circassian nation: Participation in the Russo-Circassian War Several repots state that Hawduqo was a respected person all around Circassia. In in 1839, the Circassians declared Bighuqal (Anapa) as their new capital and Hawduqo Mansur was declared the leader of the Circassian Confederation. He kept this title until his death. This union was nominal, as the confederation was loose. The Siege of Lazarevsky took place on the night of February 7, 1840. After a 3-hour battle, the fortification was taken by the Circassians. The fort was then destroyed by Circassians, who did not want hostile elements in their land. Hawduqo mansur and Ismail Berzeg went on to capture two more forts, including Abyn, with an army of 11,000 men. Death He died in 1846.

Wajinden is the 30th volume of records of the Chinese history book records of the three kingdoms, it talks about the Wajin people who would later be known as the Japanese people。It describes the Mores, geography, and other aspects of the Wajin people (the Japanese), the people and inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago at the time. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Chen Shou of the Western Jin Dynasty at the end of the 3rd century (between 280 (Demise of Wu) and 297, the year of Chen Shou's death). official history.。 Overview It is not that there was an independent biography of Japanese people in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but rather that there was an independent biography of Japanese people in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".、There is a description of Wa in a part of "Weisho" Vol. 30 "Karasuma Xianbei Touden". Therefore, there is also the idea that it is meaningless unless you read through all of Tohoden, not just the articles about Wajin. Yoshihiro Watanabe, a researcher of "Sangokushi", is not a document written by the author Chen Shou when he actually visited the Korean Peninsula and Japan, just like "Weisho" in "Sangokushi". It is written in stories from people who have visited the Korean Peninsula and Japan, and states that its credibility is questionable.In addition, as a recommendation, he said, "The worldview and political situation of Chen Shou (r. 233-297), the author of the "Records of the Three Kingdoms," can be understood not only by reading through the entire 370,000-word "Records of the Three Kingdoms" (the notes by Pei Songzhi [r. 372-451] on it are about 360,000 words, which are comparable to the text), but also by being familiar with the Confucian scriptures that form Chen Shou's worldview. We cannot understand Chen Shou unless we are familiar with the Confucian scriptures that form his worldview.。 For the first time in the official history of China, a comprehensive article about the Japanese archipelago has been written. The "Book of the Later Han" Touden is older, but the "Sangokushi" Wei Shi Yajinden was written earlier. In the Kodansha academic library "Wakokuden", "Gohansho" is recorded first.。 The book describes the existence of a country in Wa (some say later Japan) at that time, centered on the country of Yamatai (Yamai-Kuni), which was the capital of the queen, as well as the existence of countries that did not belong to the queen, with descriptions of their locations, official names, and lifestyles. The book also describes the customs, flora and fauna of the Japanese people at that time, making it a historical document that provides insight into the Japanese archipelago in the 3rd century. However, it is not necessarily an accurate representation of the situation of the Japanese archipelago at that time, which has been a cause of controversy regarding the Yamataikoku On the other hand, there are also some researchers such as Okada Hidehiro who cast doubt on the value of the "Weijing Wajinden" as a historical document. Okada stated that there were large discrepancies in the location and mileage and that it lacked credibility.。Takaraga Hisao said, "The "Wei zhi wan ren" is not complete, and it cannot be regarded as a contemporaneous historical material because of the lack of total consistency and the long transcription period.。Although it is certain that the "Wei biography" predates the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," there are many errors in the surviving anecdotes. In addition, Yoshihiro Watanabe stated that the "Wei Ji Wa Jinden" contains "many biases (distorted descriptions) due to the internal politics and diplomacy of Cao Wei at the time when Himiko sent her envoy and the world view of the historian.。 Editions Of the several types of printed books that have survived, the "Hyakushabu-bon" (a shadow print of a Southern Song dynasty book) from the 20th century during the Min-Kuo period is considered the best.。The first edition of this book was published in 1959 in Beijing, and is available in Japan. In addition, there is a book with punctuation marks, "Wakoku-den" in Kodansha Science Bunko. The "Wajinden" is written without paragraphs if you look at the photographic version of the book, but it is divided into six paragraphs in the Chinese-language version and the Kodansha Science Bunko version. In terms of content, it is understood to be divided into three major paragraphs. Relationship between Japan and Wei Himiko and Ichiba Originally, there was a male king for 70 to 80 years, but there was a prolonged disturbance in the whole country (considered as the so-called "Great War of Japan"). In the end, the confusion was finally quelled by appointing Himiko, a female, as the king. Himiko was a demon and confused the people. She was elderly and had no husband. Her younger brother assisted her in the administration of the kingdom. She had 1,000 attendants, but only one man was allowed in the palace to serve food and drink and to take messages. The palace was strictly guarded by a guard of soldiers. Himiko sent a messenger to Wei through Daifang-gun after the first two years of Kage (238), and was appointed by the emperor as "King Wei." In the 8th year of the beginning of the year (247), Daifang-gun dispatched a scholarship priest, Zhang Masa, in the event of a dispute with Gounuguo. According to the description in "Wei Zhi Yajinden," he exchanged messengers with the countries of the Korean Peninsula. When Himiko died in the 8th year of the reign of Shoshi (247), a mound was built and 100 people were buried there. After that, a male king was established, but the whole country did not accept him, and more than 1,000 people were killed. After the death of Himiko, a 13-year-old Toyo, a female of Himiko's clan or sect, was appointed as king and the country was ruled. Jang Masei, who had been dispatched to Japan earlier, admonished Ichino with a proclamation, and Ichino also sent an envoy to Wei. Diplomacy with the Wei and Jin Dynasties In June of the second year of the reign of King Jingcheng (238), the Queen sent her husband, Nansungmai, and her second emissary, Urban Uri, to Obigata County to request an audience with the Prince of Heaven.。In December, the emperor was pleased and proclaimed the queen as the King of Wei, bestowed a gold seal and purple ribbon, gave her a huge gift including 100 bronze mirrors, and named Nianzhengmai as the General of the Central Plains. In addition to the above, there are also a number of other factors to consider. The Emperor Ming of Wei (Cao Rui who was on the bed from December 8, January 1, 3 year of Kage ) Died. Cao Fang became the next emperor. In the first year of the Shoshu Era (240), the Grand Governor of Obikata, Yumizun, dispatched a group of geniuses to Japan with an imperial decree and ribbons, temporarily conferred the title of King of Japan, and gave them gifts. In the fourth year of the reign of the emperor (243), the queen again sent an envoy to Wei, this time with a group of slaves and cloth. The emperor (the King of Qi) made them the commander-in-chief. In the 6th year of the reign of King Jeong Si (245), the emperor (King of Qi) issued an imperial decree to send a yellow banner to Nanshengmai through Obi County. However, this was not carried out, as the Grand Protector Yumizun was killed in the battle against Han, which followed the battle against Uzushi in the same year. In the 8th year of the reign of Zheng Shih (247), a new taijin, Wang (斤+頁), arrived in office. The queen sent a messenger to report on the war against the Gounakukoku. This was not based on the report from Japan in the same year, but on an edict issued in the 6th year of the reign. After assuming the queen's throne, Ichiban (it is possible that the queen was already Ichiban at the time of the dispatch in the 8th year of the reign of King Jeongjo) had 20 people, including a goblin, send for the return of Zhang Zheng. In addition, "Shinkoki" in "Nihon Shoki" is the first 2 in Tai's first 2 years (an error in the 2nd year of Tai's beginning (266)) in "Shin Kiseki Note" (which does not exist). In October of the year, there is a description that the Queen of Wa contributed by repeating interpreters. In the existing "Book of Jin" Takeshiki, there is an article that Wajin made a tribute in November of the 2nd year of Taisei, and in the four barbarians, Wajin repeated an interpreter at the beginning of Taisei and made a tribute. The queen is considered a tribute because it is (although not written as a queen). It is probable that she made a tribute to the Emperor Jin (Emperor Wu of Jin), who was established on behalf of Wei. After the Japanese After the record of Ichiba's Tribute in the mid-3rd century, there would be no record of Japan in Chinese historical books for nearly 150 years until the tribute of King San of Japan (Five kings of Wa) in the 9th year of Yihee (413) in the 5th century. The Gwanggaeto the Great fills in this gap, and the stele states that in 391, Japan defeated Baekje and Shilla, and that the 19th king of Goguryeo, Gwanggaeto the Great, the 19th king of Goguryeo. The journey to Yamataikoku and the state of Japan According to the "Wei Zhi Wajin Den", the Japanese people relied on the mountainous island as their national euphony, and paid tribute to the continent through the Daifang Commandery that was established by the Han Dynasty near the current Seoul. As for the route from Obifang County to Japan, the Wei-Shi-Kan biography (Book 30 of Wei, Wusu-Senbei-Toibei biography in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms) describes the location and boundaries of Han and Wa to the south of Obifang County. Korea is in the south of the belt, east and west to the sea as the limit, the south and Japan. The party can be 4,000 miles. There are three types of Korea, one is called Ma Korea, two is called Tatsu Korea, three is Ben Korea. Han is located in the south of Obiang County, bordered by the sea on the east and west and by Japan on the south. It covers an area of about 4,000 li. Han is divided into three parts. The first is called Ma-han, the second is called Chin-han, and the third is Ben-han. The "Han" region occupies the central part of the Korean Peninsula from the east coast to the west coast, while the "Wa" region starts from the south coast. "Gohansho" Touden (Retsuden 75th) makes the positional relationship of Samhan more concrete. In the west, there are 54 states in Korea, the north of which is connected with Lelang and the south of which is connected with Japan. In the east of Korea, there are twelve states, the north of which is bordered by Yemaek. Benchen is in the south of Tatsuhan, and there are also twelve kingdoms to the south of it, and it is also bordered by Japan. Ma-han is in the west and has 54 countries, and its north is in contact with Lelang-gun and its south with Japan. Singhan is located in the east and has 12 countries, and its north is in contact with Maekgung. Benjin is located to the south of Cinnabar and has twelve kingdoms, the south of which also borders on Japan. It is said that Ma-han is located on the west coast of Han, while Shin-han is located on the north of the east coast, and Ben-chin (辰韓) is located in the south. It is also important to note that there is a large amount of information on the history of the Korean Peninsula. Country and journey to Yamatai country There are various theories about official names. An excerpt of and an English translation Rest of the world In addition to Gusu Korea, Tsushima, the major kingdoms of Surogoku, Itokoku, Nakoku, Fuya and Touma, and Umataikoku, which are located north of the Queen Country, there are other distant countries whose names we only know. There is also a record of a disagreement with Himiyukyu, the male king of the Gounakukoku in the south. There are two versions of Nukoku, one saying that it is the same country and the other saying that it is a different country. Contains an erxcerpt of and an English translation Number of ri from Obikata-gun to the Queen Country (Yamataikoku) State of Wakoku Contains exceprts from and an English translation Chronology Contains excerpts from and an English translation In the same way, it is important to note that the article on the presentation of yellow banners to the Nansho rice in 245 was issued in the same year, but was not actually delivered until 247. It is also important to note that the article on the presentation of yellow banners to rice in 245 was issued in the same year, but was not actually delivered until 247. In addition, it is often misunderstood that the reason the Wei envoy came to Japan in 247 was because of the decree of 245, not because of the appeal of the Japanese envoy in 247 (although this may have been the reason for the proclamation). Yamatai Country Controversy If you apply the number of villages and the number of days written in "Wei Shi Yajinden" as they are, you will jump over Japanese archipelago and become Pacific on the sea, no definitive theory has been found for the location of the archipelago and the ratio of the route. There are "Kinai theory" and "Kyushu theory" that are influential in the position ratio. There are "continuous theory" and "radiation theory" as influential ones about the ratio of the route (see Yamatai). The relationship between the "Weijing biography" and the "Later Han Dynasty" biography There is a description about Wa in Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han" and "Tohoden". The content has something in common with "Wakoku Wakokuden", but articles such as "Wakoku Wakoku Daisuke" whose age is not specified in "Wakoku Wakokuden" in "Gohansho" Wakoku. There is also. Relationship between "Wei Zhi Yajinden" and "Suisho" Wakokuden In "Suisho Wakokuden", about "Wakoku (Suisho makes Wakoku into" Wakoku ".
