2 Samuel 17 is the seventeenth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46). Text This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 29 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q51 (4QSam; 100–50 BCE) with extant verses 2–3, 23–25, 29. Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century). Old Testament references : Analysis The story of Absalom's rebellion can be observed as five consecutive episodes: A. David's flight from Jerusalem (15:13–16:14) B. The victorious Absalom and his counselors (16:15–17:14) C. David reaches Mahanaim (17:15–29) B'. The rebellion is crushed and Absalom is executed (18:1–19:8abc) A'. David's reentry into Jerusalem (19:8d–20:3) God's role seems to be understated in the whole events, but is disclosed by a seemingly insignificant detail: 'the crossing of the Jordan river'. The Hebrew root word' 'br, "to cross" (in various nominal and verbal forms) is used more than 30 times in these chapters (compared to 20 times in the rest of 2 Samuel) to report David's flight from Jerusalem, his crossing of the Jordan river, and his reentry into Jerusalem. In 2 Samuel 17:16, stating that David should cross the Jordan (17:16), the verb 'br is even reinforced by a 'Hebrew infinitive absolute' to mark this critical moment: "king David is about to cross out of the land of Israel." David's future was in doubt until it was stated that God had rendered foolish Ahithophel's good counsel to Absalom (2 Samuel 17:14), thus granting David's prayer (15:31), and saving David from Absalom's further actions. Once Absalom was defeated, David's crossing back over the Jordan echoes the Israelites' first crossing over the Jordan under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 1–4): Both David and Joshua crossed the Jordan and came to Gilgal (Joshua 4:19; 2 Samuel 19:40). Both were assisted by women who hid the good spies to save the mission: Rahab in Joshua 2:1–21 and the woman of Bahurim in 2 Samuel 17:20. Both episodes include the Ark of the Covenant, although David prevented the ark from crossing out of the land of Israel (15:25; referring to areas west of Jordan river). Here God's role is not as explicit as during Joshua's crossing, but the signs are clear that God was with David, just as with Joshua. Hushai countered Ahitophel’s advice (17:1–14) The previous section (2 Samuel 16:15–23) and this passage, comprising 2 Samuel 17:1–14, about Absalom ans his two advisors (Ahitophel and Hushai) together have the following structure: A Absalom and Hushai (16:15–19) B. Absalom and Ahitophel: first counsel (16:20–22) An interruption regarding Ahitophel (16:23) B'. Absalom and Ahitophel: second counsel (17:1–4) A'. Absalom and Hushai (17:5–14a) Another interruption regarding Ahitophel (17:14b) This section records the contest between Hushai and Ahitophel to provide acceptable advice for Absalom, which was pivotal in the story of Absalom's rebellion. This was prepared by the task given by David to Hushai, that Hushai was to 'defeat... the counsel of Ahithophel' (15:34) and the conversations involving Hushai and the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar (15:24–29, 32–37), in contrast to the respectful introductions to Ahitophel and his counsel (15:12; 16:20–23). Ahithophel advised Absalom to take action against David quickly: a sudden night attack on David's weary companions, with swift action and minimal loss of life to kill David alone and return all other fugitives to Jerusalem, as 'a young wife returns to her husband after a brief quarrel' (reading verse 30 in the Septuagint, rather than the Masoretic Text). For an unspecified reason Absalom wished to consult Hushai, who then made made full use of his persuasive powers in colorful words (verses 8–13) to counter Ahitophel's advice and buy time for David to regroup, using 3 arguments: by reminding Absalom of David's military prowess and David's brave experienced soldiers that would made a night attack against them futile. by suggesting that Absalom muster 'all Israel... from Dan to Beersheba' to battle, a grandeur illusion of a pan-Israelite army supporting Absalom which would totally annihilate the enemy. by suggestion that Absalom himself go to battle in person (instead of sending out Ahitophel with an army), directly appealing to Absalom's vanity. Hushai's eloquent reasoning managed to impress Absalom and his advisers more than Ahitophel's counsel, which is emphasized in verse 14 to be YHWH's will as the decisive factor. Hushai’s warning saved David (17:15–29) Hushai left Absalom's council right after giving his counsel before Absalom announced the final decision. He quickly sent a message to David to cross the Jordan immediately (verse 16) avoiding the possibility of a sudden attack as recommended by Ahithophel. Despite being spotted by Absalom's servants, the messengers, involving the sons of Abiathar (Jonathan) and Zadok (Ahimaaz)) with the help of a girl informant, succesfully transmitted the message to David who then safely crossed the Jordan River with his followers. Three pieces of suplemental information are included in verses 23–29:. The spurned Ahithophel committed suicide (verse 23), likely because of wounded pride, although it could also be of the fear of David's revenge. The postion as the head of the Israelite army was removed from Joab and given to Amasa, Joab's cousin through their mothers. David received three powerful supports in Transjordan as he arrived in Mahanaim: (1) Shobi son of Nahash, the Ammonite, (2) Machir of the house of Saul, who had previously took care of Mephibosheth, and (3) Barzillai from Gilead (cf. 2 Samuel 19:31–39). These people faithfully provide for David in his current condition.

David Loeb Weiss (c. 1911 - August 11, 2005) was a Polish-born American socialist activist, filmmaker, and co-founder of the Socialist Workers Party in 1938. Early life David Loeb Weiss was born in Warsaw, Poland in either 1911 or 1912. Loeb Weiss' father was a Yiddish actor in Poland. In his youth Loeb Weiss received a scholarship from the National Academy of Design and a scholarship with the Arts Institute of Architecture and Sculpture. During World War II, Loeb Weiss worked as a radar man in the United States Army. Activism David Loeb Weiss was a founding member of the Socialist Workers Party. David Loeb Weiss was the brother of socialist activist Murry Weiss. In the 1954 New York State election, David Loeb Weiss (then, an electronics worker) was the Socialist Workers Party candidate for Governor of New York, garnering 2,617 votes. In an October 4, 1954 campaign editorial for The Militant, Loeb Weiss wrote: "If American Big Business in its drive to control the world for private profit sets off an atomic war, the human species may perish. [...] We can put a stop to it. We can end their scheme of world murder. Socialism, with its planned non-profit, cooperative economic system, alone can save us from H-bomb doom. We are in a race between socialism and annihilation." Education David Loeb Weiss received a B.A. in economics from New York University and an M.A. in political science from the New School for Social Research. As a qualifying employee, the New York Times paid tuition costs for Loeb Weiss to complete his undergraduate degree. While completing his B.A. in economics in the mid-1960s, Loeb Weiss attended classes at New York University's film school, where he was a student of Shirley Clarke, Haig Manoogian, Michael Wadleigh, and John Binder. Filmmaking career David Loeb Weiss produced and directed several short and feature-length documentary films in his later life. After graduating from New York University, Loeb Weiss worked briefly as a film editor at the United Nations. In 1973 Loeb Weiss was a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow in Film. Profile of a Peace Parade (1967) Profile of a Peace Parade was filmed on August 6, 1966, the anniversary of the 1945 atomic bomb drop on Hiroshima. According to the New York Times, "six cameras were used to capture the mood of thousands of marchers converging on Times Square. The film covers the march as it proceeds to a mass rally on Park Avenue and 48th Street, near the offices of Dow Chemical and other producers of napalm and defoliants." According to audio recordings from the 1968 Flaherty Film Seminar (where Weiss screened his documentary, No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger), his first short film Profile of a Peace Parade was awarded the 'absolute grand prize' (the "Golden Marzocco") at the Festival dei Popoli, a festival of ethnographic and sociological films held in Florence. Loeb Weiss spoke about the production of Profile of a Peace Parade in a 1994 German-language publication, stating: “No Vietnamese was 1968 and the film before that I started to film in 1967. That was called Profile of a Peace Parade, a parade that took place on the Hiroshima day, a protest against the atom bombing of Hishima and Nagasaki. Both of these instances I had no money. I was able, however, to get volunteers, prize-winning students, cinema teachers, some who worked in the industry. I was able to get equipment from the school, very little from the school, mostly from people who are in the industry where they “borrowed” the equipment over the weekend when it wasn't being used.” The prize from the Florence-based Festival del Popoli for Profile of a Peace Parade was raw film stock, which Loeb Weiss used to shoot his next project, No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger. No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger (1968) Loeb Weiss completed No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger in 1968. The film was produced and distributed by Paradigm Films. A promotional poster for the film was designed by Milton Glaser. The film won first prize at the Mannheim Film Festival. In an interview about the making of the film, Loeb Weiss stated: "I made the film because of my very strong feelings and seeing this stuff on television where the truth was told sometimes only because it was most spectacular to get a large audience, and so on. But the basic truth was missing. So that's why I made it. I didn't wanna be a spokesman for the black people, I made No Vietnamese for the black people to be their own spokesmen." In 2018 Anthology Film Archives and the National Museum of African American History and Culture preserved the film. To Make a Revolution (1972) David Loeb Weiss completed a short documentary called To Make a Revolution about the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), a revolutionary Marxist youth group closely allied to the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party. The film depicts the December 1970 YSA convention held in New York City and the massive 500,000 person protest against the war in Vietnam held in Washington, D.C. on April 24, 1971 (including footage of the speech given by SWP member Andrew Pulley). An article in the YSA's bi-weekly publication, The Organizer, describes the film's theme as, "the YSA's response to [Herbert] Hoover's attacks on the growing mass movements and the YSA." The film was intended as an "excellent recruitment tool" abetting "real possibilities for making money" through paid public admission to see the film and a speaker at YSA events. The film was originally intended to be fifteen minutes in length, however over nine hours of footage was shot and the final work was expanded to a 40 minute final duration. The film was slated to have its premiere at the Socialist Activists and Educational Conference at Oberlin College, August 8-15, 1971 and was subsequently screened on January 1, 1972 during a national convention of the Young Socialist Alliance held in Houston, Texas. Socialist film critic Marty Jonas dismissed the film as having, "no enthusiasm, no vitality, no conflict, [...] no tautness, no tension, no unity..." and added that: "Clearly what matters to the YSA is not the construction of a Marxist leadership to bring the working class to power. What matters is that there is a section in the film of women's libbers rapping, which the feminists will love; a section of Black nationalists rapping, which the nationalists will love; and a section of Peter Camejo rapping which every radical will love. It's done with that heavy and patronizing hand." Farewell, Etaoin Shrdlu (1980) Loeb Weiss' 1980 half-hour documentary Farewell, Etaoin Shrdlu documents the transition of the New York Times from a traditional Linotype layout and printing process to a computer-based workflow in 1978. Among the 1981 accolades awarded to Farewell, Etaoin Shrdlu were: the Blue Ribbon in the Technology division of the American Film Festival, the Creative Excellence Award from the Industrial Film Festival, and the CINE Golden Eagle.

Walter Bevan Charles Rutt OBE (24 January 1916 – 12 January 1988) was a South Australian architect and philanthropist, a prominent worker for the Guide Dogs Association of Australia. History Rutt was born in Adelaide, the only son of Charles Walter Rutt, architect, ( – 17 February 1932) and Lillian May Rutt, née Nienaber ( – 14 October 1953). He had three sisters: Ellen Elizabeth "Nell", Gwyneth May, and Edith Winifred. of Tusmore, South Australia. They regularly attended the College Park Congregational Church. Rutt was one of the first students of King's College, Adelaide, with which his family had a close association. He attended the University of Adelaide, and was awarded a Diploma in Architecture. Architecture Rutt did his articles with architect Philip Claridge 1933–1938, and in 1939 graduated with an Associate Diploma in Architecture from the South Australian School of Mines and Industries. He worked for the South Australian Railways Chief Engineer’s Department 1939–1945, then was with Woodhead before working in partnership with James Hall 1950–1955. He then formed a partnership "Bevan Rutt and Roberts" with R. Bain Roberts, and brought in Kevin McPhee as a partner in 1964. He was registered with the Architects Board of South Australia in 1941. He was a Fellow of the South Australian Institute of Architects and an Associate member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Rutt (alone or in partnership) had several significant buildings and other works to his credit: Alterations (1955–56) to Gay's Arcade for its owner J. R. Skipper Rebuilding the Memorial Arch, Brighton, with structural engineers Hurren, Langman and James Grain House, South Terrace, Adelaide, the shared headquarters of the Wheat Board, Barley Board and the Cooperative Bulk Handling Authority. Working with three boards was an exercise in tact. Block of flats for the Totally & Permanently Incapacitated Soldiers Association, also at South Terrace, Adelaide (1963) The Royal Society for the Blind complex at Gilles Plains, based on similar facilities in New Zealand, which entailed a visit to that country. Phoenix Society complex at Torrensville Extensions to the Spastic Centre at Woodville Factory for W. & T. Rhodes Ltd at Quebec Street, Port Adelaide Factory and office for Harrison Shoes at West Beach Road, (now Sir Donald Bradman Drive) Marleston (1960) Extensions to Glen Osmond Institute Hall (1964) Numerous private residences, notably that for Dr D. S. Forbes at Springfield in 1958–59. One such commission ended badly, when Leo McDonnell sued Rutt and his builders for £500, alleging negligence in specifications or in supervising the building of his house, after its foundation collapsed and had to be remediated. He retired from architectural practice in 1973, though he is also reported as giving up his practice 30 June 1964, to concentrate on his Guide Dogs and Lions commitments. Social As a young man Rutt had many social and sporting interests: rifle shooting, motor racing, amateur theatre, and supported several organisations as honorary secretary; his father had early inculcated in him a sense of civic responsibility. In 1940 the Sporting Car Club of South Australia (SCCSA), of which he was an active member, and the Apex club of Adelaide joined forces to conduct a car rally as a fundraiser for the Children's Hospital and the Crippled Children's Home, both of which had been starved of funds due to the War. Rutt was one of the SCCSA delegates to the organising committee, and this may have been his first contact with Apex, whose Adelaide club was formed in 1937. Apex It is not known when Rutt joined Apex, but he was present at the club's 3rd annual charity ball in April 1940, and a year later was not only a member but co-secretary of the club. He was president of the Adelaide Apex club in 1948, and shortly after his term expired he was elected president of the SCCSA. In 1950 he was elected Zone Chairman of Apex. From 1951 to 1954 (at least) he was hon. chairman of Wanslea Children's Emergency Hostel, a charity supported by Apex. He was the president of the World Council of Young Men's Service Clubs 1950–1952. At the 1954 Zone convention, held in Mount Gambier he was judged debating champion. In 1955, shortly before he turned 40, the mandatory retirement age for Apexians, he was made honorary life member of the Association. Guide dogs and Lions In 1957 he was invited to join the foundation committee of the Guide Dogs Association (South Australian branch), and was appointed hon. secretary. In 1961 he became national secretary. That same year he joined Lions as charter president (1961–62) of the City of Adelaide Lions Club. In 1962 the Guide Dogs association moved its headquarters from Perth, Western Australia, to Kew, Victoria. As secretary of the Guide Dogs association he had an ongoing dispute with Phyllis M. Gration, president of the Lady Nell Seeing Eye Dog School of 16 Thanet Street, Malvern, Victoria, which amounted to a "turf war". See also: Seeing Eye Dogs Australia In 1964 he was elected the first District Governor of Lions district 201J. To fulfil this office he found it necessary to relinquish, reluctantly, his position on the national Guide Dogs committee. In 1966 he was elected national president of Guide Dogs, and remained in that position for six years, during which time the Association received royal assent, to call itself the Royal Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. Other interests Rutt served as councillor (Hindmarsh ward) on the Adelaide City Council 1960–1971, and was chairman of the Building and Town Planning Committee 1969–1971. He was a Justice of the Peace. He also served at various times on the boards of: SA Fire Brigade (for eight years) Royal Institution for the Blind Australian Foundation for the Prevention of Blindness Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital National Safety Council of Australia Australian Asian Association He was a member of St Peter's Masonic Lodge, and the Commonwealth Club of Adelaide Publication Recognition Rutt was awarded an OBE "for services to the community" in 1969. Family Rutt was married and had two children, Philippa Prentice Rutt (c. 1943 – ) and Charles Collins Leighton Rutt. They had a home at 18 Olive Grove, Hazelwood Park, also of Devonshire Road, Hawthorndene. Notes and references 1916 births 1988 deaths Australian architects Australian philanthropists

Kuzych v White was a series of Canadian labour law decisions from British Columbia, dealing with a membership dispute between a trade union and a member of the union. Kuzych, the union member, publicly objected to the closed shop favoured by the Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders Union of Canada (BISU). The union cancelled his membership, resulting in him being fired by the shipyard where he worked as a welder. Kuzych challenged the termination in the British Columbia courts, and eventually the matter was decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain, at that time the highest court of appeal in the British Commonwealth. The Judicial Committee ruled that Kuzych should have exhausted his appeals within the union before going to court, and upheld his expulsion from the union. Since the leadership of the BISU was dominated by members of the Communist Party of Canada, the dispute was portrayed at the time as an individual worker opposed to radical unionism. More recent scholarship has shown that Kuzych was actually a more radical socialist than the union leadership. He disapproved of closed shops because in his view they weakened unions, by interfering with the democratic rights of union members. He also believed that the closed shop co-opted the union leadership into assisting the employer to maintain workplace productivity, at the expense of the interests of the union members themselves. The dispute was driven by ideological differences within the union movement, and occupied the courts of British Columbia for close to a decade. The decision of the Judicial Committee was simply one stop along the long litigation road — and not the final stop, at that. Before the matter was concluded, six judges of the British Columbia Supreme Court, five judges of the British Columbia Court of Appeal, and five law lords in Britain had given decisions in the various aspects of the dispute, from 1944 to 1953. There were also two attempts to appeal related matters to the Supreme Court of Canada. The case continues to be cited by Canadian courts for the requirement that union members must exhaust internal union settlement procedures before resorting to the courts. The same principle has been applied more generally, to other private organizations with internal appeal processes. Background Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders Union During World War II, new techniques evolved to speed up shipbuilding production. Welding largely replaced rivetting in the construction of ships. In British Columbia, the Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders Union of Canada (BISU) became the primary union representing welders in the shipbuilding industry. In 1942, its leadership came to be dominated by members of the Communist Party of Canada. At the time of events, Bill White and William Stewart were two of the leaders of the union. The union leadership strongly favoured the closed shop, where workers had to join the union in order to obtain work in the shipyards. They took the view that a closed shop was necessary to obtain union security, which in turn was the only guarantee that the employer would bargain with the union and respect a collective agreement. Myron Kuzych Myron Kuzych was born Miroslav Kuzych in 1911, in a small village near Kolomyia, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. After World War I, that area of Ukraine became part of Poland. In 1926, Kuzych and his twin brother emigrated to Canada, to avoid being drafted into the Polish Army. As a young man in Canada, he acquired a good education in the Vancouver public schools. At the time of the events, Kuzych was characterised by his opponents as a "scab", "anti-union" and a "class traitor". It was alleged that he was in the pay of the employers. More recent scholarship has clarified Kuzych's ideological views on unionism. During the Great Depression, he became interested in socialism and was influenced by the thinking of Daniel De Leon, an American Marxist theoretician and trade union organizer. Briefly a member of the Communist Party of Canada, he later was a member of the Socialist Labor Party, which was strongly Marxist. Kuzych was a fervant believer in unionism, but rejected the labour relations system of the American Wagner Act, which heavily influenced Canadian labour relations laws. He was committed to democratic, grass-roots control of unions. He believed that the closed shop, where the union leadership reached an agreement with the management, undercut democratic organization of unions by giving too much control to the union leadership. In his view, the union leaders became committed to ensuring labour peace and productivity to benefit the employer, not the union membership. In 1942, Kuzych obtained a position as a welder in the North Vancouver Ship Repairs shipyard, which had a collective agreement with the BISU. He made a voluntary donation to the union and attended union meetings, but he objected to the requirement that he become a member. However, early in 1943, the union insisted that all workers at the shipyard be union members. The management confirmed to Kuzych that if he was not a member, he would be dismissed. Kuzych signed the union card to keep his job. The union card stated that one of the conditions of membership was to support the goals and constitution of the union, which included the closed shop. Members were also not to publicly criticise the union. Conflict between Kuzych and the BISU Kuzych and the union leadership under White and Stewart quickly came into conflict. In 1943 the provincial government set up a conciliation board to consider workplace issues at West Coast Shipbuilders, the last remaining open shop shipyard in Vancouver. Kuzych appeared before the board and strongly criticised the concept of a closed shop, and the leadership of the union. His position was that the Communist-led BISU was not radical enough in fighting the employers for the rights of union members. The local media highlighted Kuzych's submissions, and flagged that a union member was criticising the union leadership and their closed ship policy. Not knowing about Kuzych's personal views on socialism and unions, the media portrayed the dispute as an anti-union worker challenging the Communist-led union. The conciliation board recommended that the shipyard remain an open shop. White concluded that Kuzych was either a paid operative of business groups, or an anti-union individual acting on his own. White believed that whatever Kuzych's reasons, his testimony before the commission had "served the bosses." In addition to his appearance before the conciliation board, Kuzych spoke out against the closed shop policy at union meetings, and in letters to local newspapers. Kuzych organised challenges to the union leadership in the next set of elections, including calling a public meeting to organise the election campaign. White and Stewart considered the meeting to be a breach of the term of the union constitution that members would not publicly challenge union policies. Kuzych initially stood for election as union president, but withdrew to avoid vote-splitting. Kuzych's favoured candidate, C.A. Henderson, was elected, defeating Stewart, but the internal opposition from the Communist Party members of the union was strong, and eventually Henderson was replaced by White. Kuzych also made some appearances on radio, discussing his opposition to the closed shop and automatic dues-checkoffs, which he saw as benefitting the union leadership, not the workers: The BISU responded by taking disciplinary proceedings against Kuzych under the union constitution, for publicly criticising both the union leadership and the closed shop requirement. In December, 1943, the union cancelled his membership and expelled him from the union, resulting in his firing by the North Vancouver shipyard. Kuzych successfully challenged the expulsion in the British Columbia Supreme Court on procedural grounds. In 1944, the court awarded him $1,000 as damages for lost wages and re-instated him as a member of the union. The BISU then restarted the disciplinary proceedings and in 1945 again cancelled his membership, again resulting in his firing by North Vancouver shipyard. Kuzych again challenged the decision in the courts. Decisions of the British Columbia courts Supreme Court Kuzych brought another action in the British Columbia Supreme Court, which was the trial court. He sought a declaration that he had not been validly expelled and was still a member in good standing; damages; and consequential relief. He challenged the fairness of the disciplinary hearing, including whether the committee had been properly constituted under the union's by-laws: an ineligible member had been elected, which Kuzych argued meant that the union had acted in breach of his membership contract. White, as president and representative of the BISU, defended the union's conduct, including advancing the novel argument that since a closed shop was in restraint of trade, there was no valid contract of membership between Kuzych and the union, so there had not been any breach of contract. After initial skirmishes in the British Columbia Supreme Court and the British Columbia Court of Appeal, including an attempt by the union to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, the matter came on for trial before Justice Whittaker of the Supreme Court. In 1949, he ruled in favour of Kuzych. He rejected the union's argument that there had been no valid contract and found that the BISU had not strictly followed its own internal disciplinary procees, resulting in an unfair process: it was so flawed and biased that it was a nullity. Justice Whittaker also commented on the serious consequences for Kuzych if his membership was cancelled: since he would not be able to work in closed shops, expulsion was "little less than a sentence of industrial death." The BISU was therefore in breach of the membership contract. The Court awarded $5,000 in punitive damages and directed that Kuzych be re-instated. Court of Appeal On behalf of the union, White appealed to the British Columbia Court of Appeal. The appeal was heard by five judges of the Court of Appeal: the Chief Justice of British Columbia, Gordon M. Sloan, and Justices O'Halloran, Robertson, Sidney Smith and Bird. In 1950, by a 3–2 decision, the Court of Appeal upheld the trial decision and the orders for punitive damages and re-instatement. The three judges in the majority each gave their own reasons for the decision, but they approached the matter in a similar fashion. All three judges were of the view that individuals have the right to work at their trade. Justices O'Halloran and Robertson agreed with the trial judge's conclusion that the BISU discipline committee was biased against Kuzych from the start, believing him to be anti-union, and were determined to expel him. They also agreed that one member of the committee had stated that anyone who supported Kuzych would "get the works", which was interpreted as a threat to ensure Kuzych would be expelled. In their view, the proceedings of the committee were so flawed as not to amount to a true hearing at all. They also rejected the argument, advanced for the first time on appeal, that Kuzych should have first used the internal union appeal mechanism, which provided for an appeal to the executive of the Shipyard General Workers' Federation. They concluded that since the discipline proceeding was so flawed, it was a nullity. There was therefore nothing for Kuzych to appeal under the union constitution, and he could go directly to the courts. Justice Sydney Smith took a somewhat different approach. He held that the committee was properly constituted, but he agreed that the union leadership was biased and had prevented a fair hearing by the committee and then by the union membership. He also held there was no need for Kuzych to appeal internally, as the courts continued to have jurisdiction when men's livelihood was at stake. Justice Bird wrote in dissent, the Chief Justice concurring. They did not agree that the committee was improperly constituted. It was correct that an ineligible member had originally been elected to the standing discipline committee, but the union had dealt with that issue by having all members of the committee resign and holding a new election. Justice Bird agreed that this process did not comply strictly with the by-laws, but concluded that it was "a reasonable and practical compliance with the spirit of the by-laws", a bona fide attempt to resolve the problem caused by the election of an ineligible member. With respect to the internal union appeal process, Justice Bird concluded that Kuzych was bound by the contractual obligation to exhaust his internal appeals before going to the courts. The allegations of an unfair process were a factor that could be raised in that appeal. Nor was there anything to suggest that the appeal body would act in bad faith. Kuzych therefore should have followed the internal union appeal process, and until he did so and got a decision, the courts did not have jurisdiction. Justice Bird would have dismissed the appeal, but without prejudice to Kuzych's right to return to the courts, if dissatisfied by the result of the internal appeal. Decision of the Judicial Committee Reasons for judgment On behalf of the union, White appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain. At that time, the Judicial Committee was the highest court of appeal for the British Commonwealth, including Canada. Appeals could go directly to the Judicial Committee from the provincial appellate courts, without being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. White's lawyers were Senator J. W. de B. Farris, KC, and Nathan Nemetz, KC. Kuzych was represented by A. W. Johnson. The Judicial Committee was composed of five law lords, senior judges who were members of the British House of Lords. They ruled in favour of the Communist-led union. Viscount Simon, a former Lord Chancellor, gave the decision on behalf of the Judicial Committee. In his view, the case came down to two issues: was the discipline committee properly constituted? And if so, did Kuzych need to rely on the internal appeal mechanism before applying to the courts? The basic ideological issues which had triggered the litigation, such as a closed shop and union democracy, were not part of the case before the Judicial Committee. On the first issue, Viscount Simon concluded that the discipline proceedings had been properly constituted. He acknowledged that there had been some irregularities in the appointment of the members of the union committee, but he agreed with Justice Bird's position that the union's solution of new elections was a "reasonable and practical solution", consistent with the "spirit of the by-laws". On the second issue, Viscount Simon held that, "after anxious reflection", the law lords had concluded that Kuzych was required to rely on the union's internal appeal mechanism before he could apply to the courts. Viscount Simon acknowledged that there were serious issues of bias in the proceedings in the disciplinary proceedings. The question was whether the conduct of the proceedings was so flawed as not to constitute a decision at all. He concluded that was not the case. There clearly had been a decision by the committee, confirmed by the union membership, following the process set out in the union by-laws. Whether it was the correct decision, or a tainted decision, was a matter for an appeal. Viscount Simon also rejected the argument that the appeal system would be biased against Kuzych and therefore he should not be required to lodge an appeal. Viscount Simon held that there was no reason to believe that the executive of the Shipyard General Workers' Federation would not treat the matter fairly and attempt to give the right final decision. In any event, Kuzych was bound by the membership contract to pursue an appeal to that body, before he could go to the courts. Petition for re-hearing The Judicial Committee therefore allowed the appeal, with judgment on June 20, 1951. In December 1951, Kuzych petitioned the Judicial Committee for a rehearing of the case. On December 17, 1951, the Judicial Committee dismissed the petition, apparently without written reasons. Contempt proceedings While the expulsion was under appeal, there was an ancillary proceeding in the British Columbia courts, raising an allegation of contempt of court by White and Stewart. White and Stewart found in contempt Kuzych had first brought his action on May 14, 1945, against White and other members of the union as representatives of the BISU. The union was not itself a party to the action. While the action was pending, on November 19, 1945, the BISU merged with two other unions to form a new union, the Marine Workers' and Boilermakers' Industrial Union. White became the president of the new union and Stewart the secretary-treasurer. On September 22, 1949, Justice Whittaker of the Supreme Court gave his decision ordering that Kuzych be re-instated as a member of the BISU. On October 11, 1949, Kuzych made a formal demand on White to issue him a membership card in the new union. At a business meeting of the union, the executive was instructed to deny Kuzych a membership card. Kuzych then brought an application to the Supreme Court, accusing White and Stewart of contempt of court for failing to comply with Justice Whittaker's order. On December 14, 1949, Justice Whittaker found White and Stewart in contempt and ordered them committed to jail. Appeal to the British Columbia Court of Appeal White and Stewart then appealed to the British Columbia Court of Appeal. By a 2–1 decision, the Court allowed their appeal and set aside the contempt order. The majority, composed of Chief Justice Sloan and Justice Bird, held that the re-instatement order had only applied with respect to the BISU. The new union was a completely new entity and was not subject to the order. Since the old union had ceased to exist, there was no power to re-instate Kuzych. White and Stewart were therefore not in contempt. In dissent, Justice Sydney Smith held that the merger of the unions did not extinguish Kuzych's right of re-instatement, and therefore the order continued to apply. He would have upheld the contempt order. Attempted appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada Kuzych then applied to the British Columbia Court of Appeal for leave to appeal the contempt ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada. The application was heard by Chief Justice Sloan and Justices Sidney Smith and Bird, the same judges who had decided the appeal on the contempt matter. In an oral decision on June 6, 1950, they unanimously granted Kuzych leave to appeal, on condition that he pay White and Stewart the costs of their successful appeal of the contempt order to the Court of Appeal. The costs amounted to $1,200. On June 19, 1950, Kuzych returned to the Court of Appeal and moved to modify the Court's order granting leave. He planned to seek permission from the Supreme Court to appeal in forma pauperis, which would relieve him of the obligation to post a $500 bond with the Supreme Court. He asked that the Court of Appeal also waive the costs requirement. The Court split 2–1 on that request, the same split as on the contempt decision itself. Chief Justice Sloan and Justice Bird held that there was no basis for them to change their order, while Justice Sidney Smith in dissent would have done so. There is no record of Kuzych appealing the contempt matter to the Supreme Court. Subsequent proceedings Attempt at internal appeal After the decision of the Judicial Committee, Kuzych filed an appeal of the expulsion decision with the Shipyard General Workers' Federation. A newspaper account indicated that the Federation dismissed the appeal because it was filed late, several years past the 60 days from the original BISU expulsion decision. A second ground was that the BISU had merged with two other unions and had surrendered its charter with the Shipyard General Workers' Federation. Since the BISU was no longer a member, the Federation stated it had no jurisdiction to consider the appeal. Court application for membership In 1952, Kuzych started an action for a declaration and an injunction, naming White, Stewart and others as representatives of the Marine Workers' and Boilermakers' Industrial Union, as well as the Shipyard General Workers' Federation. He claimed that the merger of the BISU with the other unions had been contrary to the BISU constitution. Alternatively, he claimed a declaration that he was a member in good standing of the Marine Workers Union and the Federation. White and the other defendants moved to strike the claim, unsuccessfully. Justice Clyne of the Supreme Court ruled that the objections did not apply at the preliminary stage, but could be raised as potential defences if the matter went to trial. White, Stewart and the other defendants then brought an application for a stay of the new action, on the basis that Kuzych had not paid the outstanding costs which the Judicial Committee had ordered in their decision on the action challenging his expulsion. That application was heard by Justice Manson, who dismissed it on procedural grounds, without prejudice to return for a hearing on the merits. When the matter came on for a hearing on the merits of the costs argument, Justice Coady held that the objection was valid. Since the outstanding costs order related to a similar court action, Kuzych could not proceed with the new action until he paid the costs. Justice Coady entered a stay of the action. Kuzych then appealed to the British Columbia Court of Appeal. In a short decision, Chief Justice Sloan gave the unanimous decision of himself and Justices Robertson and Bird. They held that Justice Coady had correctly applied the law in staying the action until Kuzych paid the outstanding costs. Ongoing relevance The Judicial Committee decision in White v Kuzych continues to be cited in Canadian cases and law texts. After a period when the Canadian courts were more interventionist in trade union internal matters, they have returned to the principle set out in Kuzych, that the courts need to respect the internal appeal processes of unions. The Judicial Committee decision has also been cited as applying generally in relation to internal appeals in other contractual associations. It has also been cited in texts relating to aspects of contract law such as injunctions and specific performance, as well as damages. The case has been cited by the Supreme Court of Canada, most recently in 1979. The most recent citation in a lower court decision was by the Ontario Superior Court in 2018.

Indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas by Russian forces have occurred during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which may constitute war crimes. The invasion is part of the protracted Russo-Ukrainian War that started in 2014. The invasion itself constitutes a crime of aggression, and other war crimes may also have occurred. Crime of aggression The invasion of Ukraine violated the Charter of the United Nations prohibition on aggression and constitutes a crime of aggression according to international criminal law. Russians cannot be prosecuted for aggression at the International Criminal Court, but the crime of aggression can be prosecuted under universal jurisdiction. Distinction between civilian and military targets On 25 February 2022, Amnesty International stated that Russian forces had "shown a blatant disregard for civilian lives by using ballistic missiles and other explosive weapons with wide area effects in densely populated areas" and falsely claimed to have only used precision-guided weapons. Three documented attacks, in Vuhledar, Kharkiv and Uman, killed six civilians and injured twelve. According to Amnesty International, the attacks were indiscriminate and could constitute war crimes. The Uman attack occurred at 07:00 (UTC) on 24 February, killing one civilian and damaging a restaurant. The Kharkiv attack, at 08:00, landed between apartment buildings and killed one civilian. The Vuhledar attack, at 10:30 (UTC), 24 February, was the result of a 9M79 Tochka missile, which has a stated accuracy (Circular error probable) of 150 metres. The missile landed next to a hospital and killed four civilians. Amnesty International describe its analysis as "irrefutable evidence of violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law" by Russian forces. Human Rights Watch (HRW) found that the Vuhledar hospital attack used an 9N123 cluster munition, a type of weapon that is prohibited by most states under the Convention on Cluster Munitions because of its immediate and long-term danger to civilians. The 9N123 contains fifty 9N24 individual submunitions, which each split into 316 bomblets. HRW based its analysis on contacts with hospital and municipal administrations and multiple photographic evidence. HRW called for Russian forces to stop making "unlawful attacks with weapons that indiscriminately kill and maim." At approximately 16:00 (UTC) on 25 February, a video surfaced on social media depicting a civilian vehicle in the Obolon locality in northern Kyiv being crushed and then backed up over by a Russian tank that swerved into it. Though injured, the sole passenger of the vehicle has reportedly survived the encounter. It is debated whether the driver deliberately swerved into the vehicle, or whether they had lost control of the wheel. A video from a different angle seems to show the convoy (which the armoured vehicle was a part of) being ambushed, and the armoured vehicle swerving left and right several seconds before the incident. Two civilian merchant ships flying under the flags of neutral countries were shelled in the Black Sea on 25 February. Russian warships shelled the Moldovan-flagged chemical tanker Millenial Spirit and the Panamanian-flagged Japanese-owned cargo ship Namura Queen. On 27 February, Amnesty International stated that it had analysed evidence showing that Russian cluster munitions had hit a preschool in Okhtyrka where civilians were taking shelter on 25 February, killing three, including a child. Amnesty described the attack as a potential war crime that should be investigated.

On 11 December 2020, the ICC Prosecutor found that "there was a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity were committed", that the "alleged crimes identified would [as of December 2020] be admissible", and that there was "a reasonable basis for investigation, subject to judicial authorisation". , the ICC had not yet requested permission from its judges to open an investigation. On 25 February 2022, ICC Prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan stated that the ICC could "exercise its jurisdiction and investigate any act of genocide, crime against humanity or war crime committed within Ukraine." Khan stated on 28 February that he would launch a full ICC investigation and that he had requested his team to "explore all evidence preservation opportunities". He stated that it would be faster to officially open the investigation if an ICC member state referred the case for investigation.

Johnson also expressed support for the formation of an international tribunal to try the perpetrators of war crimes committed during the war. Chris Bryant, a MP for the opposition Labour Party, said that Putin "must be brought to a court of law and end his days in prison". On 27 February, Ukraine filed a petition with the International Court of Justice arguing that Russia violated the Genocide Convention using an unsubstantiated accusation of genocide in order to justify its aggression against Ukraine.

"Pano" is a song by Filipino singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo. The song was released to music and streaming platforms on December 6, 2021, by Island Records Philippines and UMG Philippines. For the lyrics, he conceived the song as an ode to the pain of losing someone you've given your heart and love to, despite trying your best to make everything work. Musically, it is an R&B-pop ballad with minimal instruments, a slight departure from Tabudlo's sound in his debut album, Episode. "Pano" broke the record for the longest running number-one OPM song on the Spotify Top 50 Philippines chart. The single is also the first number one song on the newly-launched Philippines Songs, currently staying at its peak for three weeks. An accompanying lyric video for the song was uploaded onto Tabudlo's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release, becoming one of his most viewed videos. Tabudlo included "Pano" on the set list of his joint US concert tour with December Avenue in 2022. Background Inspired by different styles of alt-pop, urban hip-hop, punk rock, R&B, indie, soul, and blues, Zack Tabudlo marked the release of his debut full-length studio and visual album, Episode, on October 15, 2021. The album and its tracks topped different charts on Spotify and was certified 2x Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry, led by the success of the singles "Habang Buhay" and "Binibini". In early December, Tabudlo announced the release of his new single to be released on his birthday as a gift to his fans. He wrote to his social media: Lyrics and music Tabudlo said that he envisioned "Pano" to be a song about "showing your vulnerability and genuine love to a person and getting your hopes and expectations high. Despite all of the great things that you’ve been through, you still end up breaking your heart. The other person just doesn’t feel the same way about commitment and love.” In "Pano", the chorus contains the lyrics "Pano naman ako? / Nahulog na sayo / Binitawan mo lang ba talaga ako," which allude to experiencing heartbreak after falling in love, despite one's efforts. The song is in the key of D# major, playing at 175 bpm with a running time of 4:14 minutes. Sonically, Tabuldo employed a more laid-back production for "Pano" while retaining his signature soulful singing style. "Pano" is described as an R&B-pop ballad that is set over a "rich, lustrous sound". The song incorporates percussion, guitar strums, a repetitive bass line, breathy falsettos, and vocal reverb reminiscent of his previous single, "Binibini". Release and commercial performance Island Records Philippines, a label under UMG Philippines, released "Pano" to all music streaming services on December 6, 2021. An accompanying lyric video for the song was uploaded onto Tabudlo's YouTube channel simultaneously. As of February 26, 2022, the lyric video has amassed 43 million views, becoming the singer's second-most viewed video on the site, only behind the lyric video of "Binibini". "Pano" debuted at number 3 on the Spotify Top Songs - Philippines weekly chart dated December 16, 2021. On its second week, the single reached number one and retained its spot for 10 consecutive weeks as of the chart dated February 24. "Pano" also remained atop the Spotify Top 50 Philippines chart for 62 days, breaking the record for the longest running number-one OPM song on the history of Spotify Philippines, previously held by IV of Spades’ “Mundo”. As of February 24, the single has extended its record to 72 days in total. On February 15, Billboard launched the Philippines Songs chart as part of its Hits of the World collection, becoming the official weekly ranking of songs in the Philippines based on digital music retailers and online streaming. "Pano" became the first song in the history of the chart to peak at number one, the first song to debut on top, and the first chart-topper performed and written by a local musician on the chart dated February 19. Live performances and other versions Tabudlo made his debut performance of "Pano" during the Jubilee Stage of Expo 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on February 20. Following the song's debut, singer Zephanie performed her cover to Kumu live in December 2021. SB19 member Stell covered the song in full during his TikTok Live on February 18.

Mard-i Imruz (Persian: The Man of Today) was a Persian language weekly newspaper which was in circulation between 1942 and 1948. It was based in Tehran, Iran. The paper was among the opposition publications of the period. History and period Mard-i Imruz was established by Mohammad Masud who was the license holder, and the first issue appeared on 20 August 1942. The paper was headquartered in Tehran. It was subject to bans due to its critical approach towards the Iranian government and its tendency to make blackmail to the rich. Political cartoons were frequently used in the paper to express the opposition to the authorities. In 1943 Mard-i Imruz was made the official organ of the Paikar Party and involved in the establishment of the Independent Front in 1944. Next year in October the license of the paper was revoked which was renewed in April 1946. Then the paper stopped its attacks against the authorities until March 1947 when the harsh criticisms of the paper appeared again. Then Masud was arrested, and Mard-i Imruz was closed down for two weeks. In October 1947 Masud publicly argued in the paper that Prime Minister Ahmad Qavam should be murdered due to the oil concession deal with the Soviet Union. The paper ceased publication on 14 February 1948 the day after the assassination of Mohammad Masud.

Volodymyr Sawchak was a Ukrainian painter and activist who lived in Australia. He specialized in landscape paintings of Australian nature and was involved in Ukrainian cultural organizations within Australia. Biography Early life Volodymyr Savchak was born on 25 May 1911 to a wealthy family in Brzezhany, on the outskirts of the old town of Adamivka. His father, who was a master wheelmaker, had a workshop there as well. Education Volodymyr attended the Brzezhany Gymnasium, a secondary school, where he learned to draw. When he later enrolled in Plast, the Ukrainian national scout organization, he drew images, made maps, and occasionally decorated for Plast holidays. He was especially interested in painting landscapes. During the Pacification of Ukrainians in Eastern Galicia by Poland in 1930, nineteen-year-old Volodymyr moved into Lviv to study philosophy, mathematics, and natural sciences. From 1934 to 1935 he studied painting at the Lviv University while maintaining contacts with the Lviv State College of Decorative and Applied Arts. In 1935, he again moved, this time to Vilnius in order to attend the Academy of Arts, where he studied and worked until 1939. During this time, he was able to attend summer art camps for landscape studies at the Warsaw Academy of Arts. During the first Soviet occupation of Ukraine, Volodymyr was working at the Brzezhany Sokil Theater, and throughout the war he taught drawing at the Brzezhany Gymnasium. In 1948, he emigrated first to Germany and then to Australia. In Australia After arriving in Australia, Volodymyr fulfilled a two-year contract as an art teacher at a high school in Launceston, Tasmania. In 1951, Australia celebrated the 50th anniversary of its federation. An exhibition of newly arrived artists was organized and toured each state in the country. For showing his paintings at that exhibition, Volodymyr received a diploma from Minister of Immigration Harold Holt. Seeking new subjects for his work, Volodymyr moved to central Australia in 1957 where he worked as an art teacher at the Catholic Mission of St. Teresa in Alice Springs. Starting in 1954, he was a member of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organizations and the Board of the Foundation for Ukrainian Studies in Australia. He was active in the Plast scouting organization and was a member of the Lisovi Chorty (Forest Devils) fraternity. Additionally, he was a member of the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine and of the Ukrainian Community of Sydney. In the 1950s he taught a course in Ukrainian studies in Melbourne. In the 1960s he taught at two Ukrainian schools: Ivan Franko in Oxley and L. Ukrainka in Brisbane. Volodymyr continued to participate in Ukrainian cultural life while in Australia, working on stage design and painting the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Melbourne. For his contributions of the development of culture of his hometown of Brzezhany while in Australia, Volodymyr was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Brzezhany". Volodymyr Sawchak died on 6 March 2007 and was buried in the Holoski Cemetery in Lviv. Art Volodymyr Sawchak was a creator of Australian landscapes who used watercolors, pastels, acrylics, and oils. He was a member of the Ukrainian Artists Society of Australia and the Victoria Artists' Association. His works were shown at ten solo exhibitions in Australia, as well as six solo exhibitions in the United States, five in Canada, one in London, and one in Paris. On 4 April 1956, the Australian newspaper The Age reported on the opening of one of Sawchak's paintings at the National Gallery of Victoria. Later, on 1 December 1959, it asserted his progress in paintings depicting central Australia, commenting on his skillful use of light and color and to the close artistic reflection to real life. On 3 March 1963, Ukrainian-Australian magazine The Settler wrote about an exhibition of his in Sydney, calling Sawchak a "researcher" and "inventor" in the art world and praising his talent and unique view of the world. In response to the same exhibition, The Free Thought commented on the wide range of his work and his positive representation of Brzezhany and Ukraine. At the Australian "Artists of the Blue Mountains" exhibition he received the Best Local Artist award. His works have been exhibited in Ukraine since 1993. In 2010, one of his most famous paintings, "Emily Gap in Central Australia", was exhibited at an art auction there.

Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) is a Pakistani government body operating under the Ministry of Climate Change. It is mandated to protect, manage, and conserve the Margalla Hills National Park as its legal custodian. It was set up in 2015 under Section 4 of the Islamabad Wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Ordinance 1979. It was officially notified on 7 July 2015 by the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Rina Saeed Khan is the current chairperson of the board, having been appointed in 2021. History The Federal Government of Pakistan issued the Islamabad Wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Ordinance 1979 to protect the environment and wildlife in the Islamabad Capital Territory. The ordinance provided for the establishment of the Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP) in 1980, covering the Margalla Hills, Rawal Lake, and Shakarparian. Moreover, a Wildlife Management Board headed by the Chairman of Capital Development Authority (CDA) and composed of CDA as well as federal government officials was also notified under this ordinance. This Board, however, was dysfunctional, while the National Park was being managed by the Environment Wing of CDA without oversight. On 30 September 2014, Z B Mirza, a zoologist and field expert, filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court, calling to attention the poor condition of the MHNP. A meeting attended by Mirza, the Cabinet Division, and CDA officials led to a discussion of the Board, and the resulting recommendations were sent to the federal government. As a result, the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) was notified on 7 July 2015. Dr. Anis-ur-Rehman was appointed the Chairman via a Cabinet Division notification on 10 August 2015.

Greensbury Washington Offley (December 18, 1808 – March 22, 1896) was an American slave narrative author and minister. Born into slavery in Maryland and eventually freed, Offley wrote A Narrative of the Life and Labors of the Rev. G. W. Offley, a Colored Man, Local Preacher and Missionary (1859), one of only six slave narratives published in Connecticut. Early life Offley was born into slavery in Centreville, Maryland, to a free black man from Maryland and an enslaved woman from Virginia (names unknown). Their master's will freed Offley's mother and ordered Offley and his sister to be freed at age 25. However, the master's heirs destroyed a codicil to the will that required Offley's younger brother be similarly freed at 25. Offley's father therefore purchased all three children as well as Offley's grandmother, braving murderous threats from their master's heirs. The heirs backed off, however, when Offley's mother threatened to cut her children's throats rather than see them enslaved. The Offleys struggled economically as the family gew to five more children. Offley's father hired out Offley from the age of 9 to make brooms, weave baskets, chop wood, and gather oysters. He received no formal education but learned to read at the age of 19, taught by a itinerant black preacher and by a slaveholder's son whom he taught to wrestle and box. When Offley moved to Saint Georges, Delaware and began working in a hotel, a young white boy taught him to write in exchange for food. Preaching and writing In his 20s, Offley began moving north, working for railroads and hotels along the way. On November 15, 1835, he arrived in Hartford, Connecticut. On February 21, 1836, he had a conversion experience and became an Methodist Episcopal preacher. Between 1847 and 1849, he raised funds across Massachusetts and Connecticut for the Colored Methodist Zion Society to establish the Worcester Zion Church on Exchange Street. He also aided the Worcester Female Mutual Relief Society. In 1850, Offley returned to Hartford as pastor of the Belknap Street Church, working alongside luminaries such as minister James W.C. Pennington and educator Ann Plato. In 1859, he wrote an autobiographical pamphlet recounting his youth up to his conversion. Printed by Case, Lockwood and Company of Hartford, A Narrative of the Life and Labors of the Rev. G. W. Offley, a Colored Man, Local Preacher and Missionary was endorsed by influential white ministers, including Horace Bushnell. Its generally "conciliatory" tone, regional audience (only 1000 copies were printed), and religious overtones made it a "relatively minor slave narrative." In 1866, Offley was recorded as soliciting donations from the New England black community to fund church missionary work among the freedman in the border states. In 1867, Offley moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he authored and published a short religious treatise entitled "God's Immutable Declaration of His Own Moral and Assumed Natural Image and Likeness in Man" (1875). Offley lived quietly on his farm for the rest of his life, dying on March 22, 1896. He was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery. Personal life Offley married twice while living in Connecticut. In 1837, he married his first wife, Ann Offley, who died in the 1850s. He married to Elizabeth Offley (born 1840) by 1860 according to census records. Little is known about either of his wives, and he had no known biological children. He did adopt one daughter, Adelaide Brown (1857–1927), whose mother was one of the Nipmuc people.

The Siege of Mariupol is an ongoing military engagement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine which began on 25 February 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as part of the Eastern Ukraine offensive. The city of Mariupol is located in the Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine; a region under territorial dispute with the self-proclaimed Russian-backed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). Battle On 24 February, Russian artillery bombarded the city, allegedly injuring 26 people. On the morning of 25 February, Russian armed forces advanced from DPR territory in the east towards Mariupol. They encountered Ukrainian forces near the village of Pavlopil. The Ukrainian armed forces defeated the Russian forces; according to the Mayor of Mariupol, , 22 Russian tanks were destroyed in the action. The Russian Navy began an amphibious assault on the Sea of Azov coastline west of Mariupol on the evening of 25 February. An American defense official stated that the Russians are potentially deploying thousands of marines from this beachhead. On 26 February, Russian forces continued to bombard Mariupol with artillery. The government of Greece announced that 10 Greek civilians were killed by Russian strikes at Mariupol, with 6 killed in the village of Sartana and 4 killed in the village of Buhas. On the morning of 27 February, Boychenko claimed that a Russian tank column quickly advanced on Mariupol from the DPR, but this attack was repulsed by Ukrainian forces, with 6 Russian soldiers being captured. Later that day, a 6-year old girl in Mariupol was killed by Russian shelling. Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of Donetsk Oblast, stated that fighting in Mariupol had continued throughout the night of 27 February.

So Lucky: A Novel is an autobiographical novel by Nicola Griffith, published May 15, 2018 by MCD x FSG Originals. The book follows Mara Tagarelli as she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and must step down from her role as director for a multi-million AIDS organization. All the while, a serial killer is targeting individuals with MS. Reception A number of reviews focused on the book's representation of multiple sclerosis. June Sawyer, writing for Booklist, noted, "Griffith, who has herself been diagnosed with MS, presents a fresh and powerful novel and antidote to the sense of victimhood." Dana Hansen of the Chicago Review of Books echoed the sentiment, stating, "Far too little fiction reflects the experiences and realities of those with disabilities, and when it does, it often reads as an exercise in tokenism. In So Lucky, a disconcerting but very necessary book, Griffith presents a protagonist with substance, complexity, and purpose. Mara is so much more than her diagnosis and limitations, but her story underlines the insidiousness of ableism and the lamentable mistreatment and neglect of the chronically ill and disabled among us." Lambda Literary Foundation's Anne Charles wrote, "The world of Nicola Griffith’s So Lucky is governed by ableist misconception and ignorance, but it is also marked by hope and human connection ... It’s a narrative that at once informs, confronts, puzzles and engages. I have little doubt that readers who take it up will be rewarded." Publishers Weekly added, "Anyone who’s ever struggled with medical adversity will be inspired." The New York Times's Amal El-Mohtar called the book "a compact, brutal story of losing power and creating community, fast-paced as a punch in the face." El-Mohtar continued, saying, the book was "beautifully written, with a flexible, efficient precision that embodies the protagonist’s voice and character." Kirkus described So Lucky as "[a] narrative of disability and its consequences" and provided a poor review, stating the book was "[o]riginal but disappointing." Autrostraddle named So Lucky one of the best LGBT Books of 2018, and The Boston Globe named it one of the best novels of the year.

John Clarke Young (August 12, 1803 – June 23, 1857) was an American educator, pastor, and academic administrator who served as the fourth president of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. A graduate of Dickinson College and Princeton Theological Seminary, he entered the ministry in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1828. He was offered the presidency of Centre College in 1830, and would hold the position until his death in 1857, making him the longest-serving president in the college's history. He is regarded as one of Centre's best presidents, as increased the endowment of the "struggling" college more than five-fold during his term, and increased the size of the graduating class from two students in his first year to forty-three in his final year. During his time in office, he continued to preach, accepting the pastorate of the Danville Presbyterian Church in 1834 and later founding the Second Presbyterian Church in Danville. Young was a respected member of the church, as he was elected moderator of the Presbyterian Church's General Assembly in 1853. He is the namesake of numerous facets of the college today, including Young Hall, which is named for him and his son, William C. Young, who would later become the college's eighth president. Early life and education Young was born in Greencastle, Pennsylvania to Rev. John Young, a Presbyterian pastor, and Mary Clarke Young. He was the youngest child in his family, and his parents' only son. After the death of his father while John was still an infant, he was raised almost entirely by his mother and was educated at home by his grandfather. He went to New York City in order to study under John Borland before going to college. Young's uncle, Matthew St. Clair Clarke, a practicing lawyer and seven-term U.S. House Clerk, offered to mentor him in a law-based profession, but he declined and decided to follow his father into the ministry, Young enrolled at Columbia College (now Columbia University), where he spent three years. Young would eventually transfer to Dickinson College, in his native Pennsylvania, and he graduated with honors in 1823. He spent two years out of school following his graduation, teaching algebra at his old classical school in New York City for the first and serving as an assistant to the professor of mathematics at Columbia for the second. In 1825, Young enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he would spend three years studying theology and tutoring students at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). Young graduated from Princeton with a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1828. Career After receiving a license to preach from the Presbytery of New York in 1827, Young's career in the ministry began the following year following his graduation from Princeton. Upon the invitation of John C. Breckinridge, Young moved to Lexington, Kentucky, in 1828, where he was appointed the pastorate of McChord Presbyterian Church (now Second Presbyterian Church), founded in 1813 by James McChord, who was later elected as Centre's first president. Centre's presidency became vacant in October 1830 when Gideon Blackburn resigned the office, prompting the college's trustees to venture east in search of a replacement. At the recommendation of Archibald Alexander, principal of Princeton Theological Seminary, they offered Young the position in a unanimous vote. Young accepted and was inaugurated as the fourth president of Centre College in November 1830, at the age of 27. He inherited a "struggling" college, which had graduated just 25 students over the course of its eleven-year history. Young's primary duty as president was raising funds which the college desperately needed; early in his presidency, he went to New York and Philadelphia in an attempt to do so. In New York, he was successful, raising $6,000 in order to sponsor two new professors, and he also succeeded in raising money from residents of Danville and Kentucky as a whole. Young also served on the college faculty as a professor of logic and moral philosophy, and he taught belles-lettres and political economy when the position was vacant. During Young's tenure, the curriculum at Centre consisted of classics, mathematics, natural science, and history, all "taught within a Christian framework." Young became concerned with the behavior of the students as his tenure progressed; in an 1845 report to the Board of Trustees, he made note of the increased rate of drunkenness among the students and noted "[the College] has been in a worse condition in respect to good order than it has ever been since I have been connected with it." Centre also graduated a fair proportion of its first notable alumni during Young's time in office; the class of 1855 alone consisted of John Y. Brown, Thomas Theodore Crittenden, Boyd Winchester, and William Campbell Preston Breckinridge, among others. In 1834, Young became the pastor of the Danville Presbyterian Church, which served both students and the town at-large. He was popular with his congregation, which grew in size rapidly. A few years later, the Presbyterian Church found itself embroiled in the Old School–New School Controversy, an 1837 schism that split the church into "Old School" traditional Calvinist theological conservatives and "New School" revivalists. Young was a part of the "Old School", as was the Synod of Kentucky, many other southern synods, and both of Danville's Presbyterian Churches at which Young had preached. It was also around this time that Young was offered the presidency at Transylvania University due to his successes in Danville, though he ultimately opted to stay at Centre. In 1852, the congregation had outgrown the building, and Young founded a second church, the Second Presbyterian Church, in order to accommodate the large number of students that attended. Young was among the delegates from the Synod of Kentucky to the 1853 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, held in Philadelphia. On May 20, 1853, the second day of the meeting, Young was elected to the office of moderator, earning the bare minimum number of votes necessary for a majority, 126 out of an available 251, and winning election on the first ballot. Later in the week, on May 23, Young and the other delegates from the Synod of Kentucky petitioned the General Assembly for $60,000 to be put towards land and trusts to build a "Seminary of the first class" in "the West", with a plot of "ten or more acres" in Danville being named as a specific location. Commenting on Young's performance as moderator, a correspondent from The New York Times noted that he was "of decided ability". Personal life and death Young married Frances Breckinridge, the sister of Centre graduate and future Vice President John C. Breckinridge, on November 3, 1829. The couple had four children, all daughters, between 1831 and 1837. After Frances' death on November 2, 1837, Young would go on to remarry a few years later. In 1839, Young married Cornelia Crittenden, the daugher of Governor John J. Crittenden, to whom he would remain married until his death. The couple had six children between 1841 and 1849, including William C. Young, who would go on to graduate from Centre in 1859 and become Centre's eighth president in 1888. Young suffered from poor health for the last several years of his life. Upon arriving at Centre in 1854, future college president William L. Breckinridge said in a letter to his father, "Dr. Young looks badly – the rest look well." Young died on June 23, 1857, at the age of 53. The cause of death was ultimately determined to have been stomach disease, which led to a hemorrhage. At the time of his death, he still held the presidency of the college. At his funeral, Robert Jefferson Breckinridge delivered the eulogy. Young was buried at Bellevue Cemetery, in Danville; his son, William, would eventually be buried next to him. His successor to the presidency was Rev. Lewis W. Green, who was a faculty member for much of Young's time at the college. Green was elected to the position in August 1857 and began his term as president on January 1, 1858. Legacy Several aspects of life at Centre College still bear Young's name. Young Memorial Hall, named for both John and William, was dedicated on January 8, 1909, and was the college's first building devoted entirely to science. This building was later replaced, and the new Young Hall was dedicated on March 21, 1970. The new building underwent renovations and a large addition was dedicated on October 21, 2011. The John C. Young Scholars program at Centre, founded in 1989 as the John C. Young honors program, also bears his name, as does the John C. Young Symposium, where the aforementioned scholars present research and projects which they worked on as a part of the program. The symposium, in its 31st year, was last held on April 24, 2021. At the time of his death, Young was at work on a treatise entitled The Efficacy of Prayer, which was described by The Evangelical Repository as being "worthy of the subject and the author". The work would be published posthumously by the Presbyterian Board of Publishing. Young had given and published numerous other speeches, essays, and sermons over the course of his life, including a speech about temperance, a speech at the inauguration of the professors at the Danville Theological Seminary, and a sermon entitled "On the Sinfulness, Folly and Danger of Delay." Young was also a proponent of the gradual emancipation of slaves, and gave several speeches advocating for it as a more moderate and reasonable alternative to immediate abolitionism. Young was a slaveholder himself, and freed some of his own slaves on two separate occasions. Young agreed with the Synod's position of gradual emancipation and the colonization of former slaves in Africa; the early 1850s saw four black members of his congregation emigrate to Liberia under this plan. Regarded as one of Centre's best presidents, Young's administration had a lasting effect on the college. During the course of his term, which lasted nearly 27 years, the college's endowment grew to over $100,000, representing more than a five-fold increase, and the enrollment exceeded 250 students. Young's final graduating class, the class of 1857, boasted 47 members, which was Centre's largest-ever class at the time; this was a significant increase over the graduating class of two students which Centre produced in Young's first year in office. , Young's nearly 27-year term still stands as the longest of any president in Centre's history, just longer than Thomas A. Spragens, who served for 24 years from 1957 to 1981, and John A. Roush, who served for 22 years from 1998 to 2020.

Dictyonema subobscuratum is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands, where it mostly grows as an epiphyte over bryophytes on branches and trunks in humid zones. It was formally described as a new species in 2017 by Manuela Dal-Forno, Frank Bungartz, and Robert Lücking. The type specimen was collected on Floreana Island along the rim trail to Cerro Pajas at an altitude of ; it has also been recorded from Santa Cruz Island. The lichen forms dark bluish-green filamentous, irregular mats that grow in patches up to across. The specific epithet subobscuratum refers to its similarity with Dictyonema obscuratum, found in Brazil.

James McLean Hanna (October 25, 1816 – January 15, 1872) was an American politician, lawyer, and judge from the state of Indiana who served in the Indiana State Senate and as a Justice on the Indiana Supreme Court. Biography Born in Franklin County, Indiana to a prominent local family, Hanna worked on the family farm throughout his childhood. Despite having only a few months of formal education, Hanna was a voracious reader. Following an apprenticeship in Brookville, Hanna gained his license to practice law in 1841 and moved to Bowling Green. A Democrat, Hanna first became involved in Indiana politics after he was appointed Governor James Whitcomb's personal secretary. Hanna served as a prosecuting attorney in the state's Seventh Circuit Court from 1844 to 1846. Hanna ran for a seat in the Indiana House of Representatives but was defeated. He was later elected to serve in the Indiana Senate from 1849 to 1852, representing Clay, Sullivan, and Vigo counties. After leaving the state senate, Hanna moved to Terre Haute in 1854 to set up a private law practice. In 1856, he was elected as a judge of the Vigo County Circuit Court. He left the position in 1857, when he was appointed to the Indiana Supreme Court on December 10, 1857, by Governor Ashbel P. Willard to succeed the retiring Justice Samuel Gookins. In 1858, Hanna was elected to serve a full term on the bench, defeating William D. Griswold (also from Terre Haute) in the election. Hanna's most notable opinion came in the case of State ex rel. Board of Commissioners of Sinking Fund v. Ristine, one of two cases concerning whether Indiana State Auditor Joseph Ristine had the right to refuse orders from Governor Oliver P. Morton to make an interest payment on the state debt in lieu of the General Assembly approving appropriations measures before adjourning. Following conflicting rulings in the Marion County Circuit Court, the Supreme Court sided with Ristine in both cases and affirmed his right to refuse Governor Morton's orders to make the payment. Hanna wrote the majority of opinion of the court in one case and Justice Samuel E. Perkins wrote the majority opinion in the other. In 1864, Hanna and other Democratic justices on the Supreme Court lost their races for re-election following an electoral sweep by Governor Morton and state Republicans. Hanna left the court in 1865, succeeded by Justice Robert Gregory. Following his time on the Supreme Court, Hanna served briefly as the political editor for the prominent Democratic newspaper, the Indianapolis Sentinel (today known as The Indianapolis Star). During the Civil War, Hanna was sympathetic to the Confederacy despite living in the North. Hanna returned to politics in 1868 when he was re-elected to the state senate, representing Sullivan and Clay counties. His return to the state senate was brief, however—he resigned in 1869 when senators began to debate over ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave African-American men the right to vote. Hanna married Elizabeth Susan Burton while living in Bowling Green. They had three children together, one son and two daughters. Hanna spent much of his retirement on his large farm in Curryville, an unincorporated community near Terre Haute. Sullivan County's first underground coal mine was opened on Hanna's land. Hanna died on his farm on January 15, 1872.

Sheringham Town Hall, formerly known as Sheringham Council Offices, is a former municipal building in Church Street, Sheringham, Norfolk, England. The structure served as the headquarters of Sheringham Urban District Council and then as the offices and meeting place of Sheringham Town Council until it closed in August 2019. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the fishing industry, Lower Sheringham became an urban district in 1901. In 1911, the new council decided to commission purpose-built council offices: the site they selected was vacant land at the junction of Church Street and Saint Peter's Road. The new building was designed by the local architects, Stanley Simons & Co., in the Edwardian style, built in red brick with stone dressings and was completed in 1912. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage at the junction of Church Street and Saint Peter's Road; the central bay featured a recessed doorway with a fanlight on the ground floor and a prominent oriel window on the first floor surmounted by a short clock tower with a ogee-shaped roof. The central bay was flanked by curved sections which were fenestrated by three-part round headed windows separated by colonettes on the ground floor and three part square-headed windows separated by pilasters on the first floor. The side facades featured sections of four-part round headed windows which were also separated by colonettes. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber on the first floor. At the end of the First World War, a service of thanksgiving was held outside the town hall to celebrate the armistice: almost the whole town attended the service. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of the urban district council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged North Norfolk District Council was formed with its offices in Cromer in 1974. It then served as the offices and meeting place of Sheringham Town Council and was the venue for the signing of a twinning agreement with the town of Otterndorf in Lower Saxony in Germany in 1998. After the town council relocated to Sheringham Community Centre in Holway Road in August 2019, the building was mothballed. The contents of the town hall were auctioned in January 2021 and a planning application to convert the building for residential use was submitted to North Norfolk District Council in July 2021.

Gea eff is a species of orb-weaver spider. It is found in Papua New Guinea. The arachnologist Herbert Walter Levi formally described the species in 1983. While it was still undescribed, Michael H. Robinson and colleagues reported on its courtship and mating behaviors. Gea eff has the shortest scientific name of any spider species. Taxonomic history According to Herbert Walter Levi, specimens which Władysław Kulczyński illustrated and tentatively identified as Gea subarmata in the 1910s were in fact G. eff. Publications by Michael H. Robinson and colleagues in the 1970s and 1980s referred to specimens they found in Wau, Papua New Guinea as belonging to an undescribed taxon. They had enlisted the Capuchin friar Chrysanthus to identify spider specimens and he realized this constituted a new species; he died in 1972 before able to further study it, but thought it belonged to the genus Argiope. Robinson and colleagues referred to it as "Species 'F'" or "Argiope sp. F". Robinson and colleagues later thought it might be in the genus Gea after noticing the similarity to Gea heptagon; after Levi confirmed its generic placement, they subsequently called it "Gea sp. Wau No. 1". The species was formally described by Levi in 1983; he named it Gea eff. Levi listed the etymology for the specific epithet, eff, as being "an arbitrary combination of letters". Gea eff has the shortest scientific name of all spider species, with a length of only six characters. The female holotype and three female paratypes were deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Distribution The type locality is McAdam Park, near Wau, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. G. eff spiders were recorded in the Wau Valley as part of a year-long transect study by Robinson and colleagues. Additional specimens have been collected elsewhere in Morobe Province, as well as in Madang Province and Central Province. In addition to these locations on the island of New Guinea, G. eff has been found on Tagula Island in the Louisiade Archipelago and on the island of New Britain. It is found in tall grass. Specimens have been collected in coconut plantations as well as in forest. Description G. eff is a "very small" species. The female is 2.2 times bigger than the male. It is one of the least sexually dimorphic species of the subfamily Argiopinae. The female has a total length of 6.6 mm; it has a brown carapace, a light-colored head, a black sternum with a white longitudinal stripe, and banded legs. The male has a total length of 3.0 mm; its carapace, sternum, and legs are beige, and its dorsum has two white spots. Behavior G. eff builds its webs in the herbaceous layer. It creates a stabilimentum, or web decoration, consisting of an X-shaped pattern, with zig-zag bands forming a cross, which does not block the hub of the web. Their webs are "relatively durable". Robinson and Robinson placed G. eff in "Group C", meaning it had "advanced" courtship and mating behaviors. G. eff engages in courtship on a mating thread outside the orb-web. It is a sexual cannibal and has an average copulation duration of 0.9 minutes. Sexual cannibalism occurs before copulation. The rate has not been determined as it has only been observed anecdotally conditions. References Work cited Araneidae Arthropods of New Guinea Fauna of New Britain Spiders described in 1983

Thomas Hilson (1784-July 23, 1834) was an American comedian and actor. Born in England with the surname Hill, he first appeared on stage in the United States in 1811 at the Park Theatre in New York playing Walter in The Children of the Wood. He quickly became a popular performer at the Park, and pleased audiences in comedic roles ranging from Shakespeare to new productions such as Paul Pry (1825), though he also did well in non-comedic roles. He continued at the theater, with brief interruptions, until 1833. Charles Francis Adams Sr. (son and grandson of the Adams' presidents) mentions, on July 5, 1826, attending the Park Theatre and seeing "Hilson in the amusing character of Paul Pry and enjoyed a very hearty laugh." He married actress Ellen Augusta Johnson (1801-1837) in 1825. Sometimes they appeared on stage together. Hison died in Louisville, Kentucky on July 23, 1834Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography Vol. 3, p. 210-11 (1888) of apoplexy. Upon his death he was said to be "long known in various parts of the United States as one of the best Comedians of the day." According to an 1837 profile of Park Theatre manager Edmund Simpson, Simpson had connections with Hilson back to when both were in theatre in England. After Hilson's widow died, Simpson adopted their young daughter Maria. References 1784 births 1834 deaths 19th-century American male actors American male stage actors

Same-sex marriage in Tabasco is currently not legal. Bills to legalize civil unions or same-sex marriage in Tabasco have been proposed numerous times over the past decade, but none have passed the Congress of Tabasco. Legal history Debate surrounding the legalization of same-sex marriage or civil unions emerged in Tabasco in 2009, simultaneously with the discussion then-ongoing in Mexico City. Following the passage of legislation legalizing same-sex marriage in Mexico City in December 2009, debate gained traction in Tabasco. In 2009, a group of 20 same-sex couples sent a motion to the Congress of Tabasco asking that they be allowed to marry. The state's largest political parties, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), announced their support for same-sex marriage in 2010. Despite the support of political parties, there was little legislative will to change the law. As a result, in April 2014 an initiative to reform article 154 of the Civil Code to legalize same-sex marriage was presented by the LGBT organization (Tudyssex). The Party of the Democratic Revolution submitted another same-sex marriage bill on 3 July 2015, following a ruling from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation that same-sex marriage bans are unconstitutional nationwide under Articles 1 and 4 of the Constitution of Mexico. On 18 May 2016, a member of the state Congress said that there was consensus in Congress to approve the bill submitted by the PRD, but no bill has been passed as of February 2022. The July 2018 elections resulted in the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), a party that supports same-sex marriage, winning the majority of legislative seats in Congress and the governorship. In November 2021, José Cruz Guzmán, president of Tudyssex, criticised the inaction of the state Congress. Injunctions The Mexican Supreme Court ruled on 12 June 2015 that state bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional nationwide. The court's ruling is considered a "jurisprudential thesis" and did not invalidate state laws, meaning that same-sex couples denied the right to marry would still have to seek individual injunctions () in court. The ruling standardized the procedures for judges and courts throughout Mexico to approve all applications for same-sex marriages and made the approval mandatory. Specifically, the court ruled that bans on same-sex marriage violate Articles 1 and 4 of the Constitution of Mexico. Article 1 of the Constitution states that "any form of discrimination, based on ethnic or national origin, gender, age, disabilities, social status, medical conditions, religion, opinions, sexual orientation, marital status, or any other form, which violates the human dignity or seeks to annul or diminish the rights and freedoms of the people, is prohibited.", and Article 4 relates to matrimonial equality, stating that "man and woman are equal under the law. The law shall protect the organization and development of the family." On 18 February 2015, a local newspaper announced that the first same-sex marriage had occurred in Villahermosa on 13 February after a legal appeal to the Supreme Court. By May 2017, ten same-sex couples had married in Tabasco via the amparo process. Public opinion According to a 2018 survey by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, 56.5% of the Tabasco public opposed same-sex marriage, the second highest in Mexico after the neighboring state of Chiapas at 59%.

Ocellularia upretii is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. It is found in India. Taxonomy The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Santosh Joshi, Pradeep Divakar, H. Thorsten Lumbsch, and Robert Lücking. The type was collected in the Shimoga District of central Western Ghats. The specific epithet upretii honours Indian lichenologist Dalip Kumar Upreti, "on the occasion of his retirement". Description Ocellularia upretii has a greyish green to olivaceous green thallus with a well-developed cortex. The ascomata are numerous and scattered throughout the thallus, some immersed in the surface and some more prominent; all have rounded to oval pores. The proper exciple (the margin of the apothecium, lacking algal cells) is reddish brown. The ascospores have between 10 and 20 thick septa that section the spore transversely; the spores measure 100–125 by 15–25 μm. No secondary compounds were detected in the lichen using thin-layer chromatography, and all of the standard chemical spot tests are negative. Ocellularia allosporoides is a similar species that is phylogenetically distinct; unlike the substance-free O. upretii, it contains norisonotatic acid and norsubnotatic acid in its thallus. Distribution Ocellularia upretii is widespread in evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, and tropical rainforests of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Eastern Himalayas.
