The Sigmaringendorf–Hanfertal railway is a branch line in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is owned by the owned by the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn (HzL). It runs from Sigmaringendorf via Bingen to Hanfertal (a village in Sigmaringen) and is single track and non-electrified throughout. It is currently used only for freight. The line is also known as the Laucherttalbahn ("Lauchert Valley Railway"). History Since the Prussian Province of Hohenzollern (Hohenzollern Lands) was an elongated territory partly surrounded by the Kingdom of Württemberg, the line of the Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen) at this time only used the shortest route through this "foreign" area and only served the two district towns of Hechingen (from 1869) and Sigmaringen (from 1878). The HzL as the Actiengesellschaft Hohenzollern’sche Kleinbahngesellschaft (Hohenzollern light railway company), now the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn, was founded in 1899 to build Kleinbahnen (light railways as authorised by a Prussian law of 1892) in the Hohenzollern Lands. On 28 March 1900, the six-kilometre-long section between Sigmaringendorf and Bingen was opened as the first line of the HzL. The line ran from the Danube valley near Sigmaringendorf in the Lauchert valley northwards to the Fürstlichen Steelworks with the Laucherthal freight yard and on to Bingen. On 6 December 1908, the branch line was extended to Hanfertal and connected to the Kleinengstingen–Hanfertal line. For the first time trains ran between Hechingen, Kleinengstingen and Sigmaringendorf and connected with other lines in these places. Less than two years later, the line lost importance when the shortcut from Hanfertal to Sigmaringen Landesbahn station was completed on 5 October 1910. Operations In the course of the nationwide closure of branch lines, the HzL also switched passenger transport to bus service on some routes between 1968 and 1973. From 29 September 1968, the Sigmaringendorf–Hanfertal line was only served by school transport until this, too, was discontinued on 30 May 1991. The line is now only used for freight traffic.

Stanko Studen (; born 31 March 1946) is a former politician in Serbia. He served in the National Assembly of Serbia from 1994 to 1998 and was Serbia's deputy minister of agriculture from 1998 to 2000. During his time as an elected official, Studen was a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS). Early life and career Studen was born in Vrbas, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He trained as a medical doctor, receiving a Ph.D from the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry (Department of Medical Biochemistry) in 1991. He subsequently lived in Kula. Politician Studen appeared in the thirteen position on the Radical Party's electoral list for the Novi Sad division in the 1993 Serbian parliamentary election. The list won seven seats, and he was included in the party's assembly delegation. (From 1992 to 2000, Serbia's electoral law stipulated that one-third of parliamentary mandates would be assigned to candidates from successful lists in numerical order, while the remaining two-thirds would be distributed amongst other candidates at the discretion of the sponsoring parties. It was common practice for the latter mandates to be awarded out of order. Studen's comparatively low position on the list did not prevent him from receiving a mandate.) Studen took his seat when the assembly convened in January 1994. The Socialist Party of Serbia (Socijalistička partija Srbije, SPS) won the election, and the Radicals served in opposition. Studen was given the lead position on the SRS's list for the redistributed Sombor division in the 1997 parliamentary election and was given an automatic mandate when the list won three seats. The SPS won the election again, but the Radicals significantly increased their seat total. In March 1998, the Radicals joined a coalition government led by the Socialists. Studen was appointed as deputy minister of agriculture, working with Socialist Party minister Jovan Babović. By virtue of holding this position, he was required to resign from parliament, which he did on 26 May 1998. In February 2000, in the aftermath of the Kosovo War, he was one of a number of Serbian ad Yugoslavian officials placed on a six-month travel ban to European Union countries. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (consisting of Serbia and Montenegro) introduced direct election for its parliament's upper house (i.e., the Chamber of Republics) in the 2000 general election; the vote was conducted under proportional representation. Studen appeared in the seventh position on the Radical Party's list; the Radicals only won two seats, and he was not elected. He also ran for Kula's second division in the concurrent 2000 Vojvodina provincial election and for the municipality's sixth seat in the 2000 Serbian local elections and was defeated in both contests. Slobodan Milošević was defeated for the Yugoslavian presidency in the 2000 election, a watershed moment in Serbian and Yugoslavian politics. Serbia's government fell shortly after the Yugoslavian vote, and an interim ministry was established that did not include the Radicals; Studen's term as deputy minister came to an end in October 2000. A new Serbian parliamentary election was held in December of the same year; prior to the election, Serbia's electoral laws were reformed such that the entire country was counted as a single electoral division and all mandates were awarded to candidates at the discretion of the sponsoring parties or coalitions, irrespective of numerical order. Studen was given the thirty-third position on the Radical Party's list. The list won twenty-three mandates, and he was not included in the party's delegation. He later left the Radical Party. Serbia introduced the direct election of mayors in the 2004 Serbian local elections. Radical Party candidate Tihomir Đuričić was elected as mayor of Kula and but defeated in a recall election in 2006. Studen was a candidate in the subsequent mayoral by-election, running as the candidate for a local coalition called the "Patriotic Alliance of Kula." He was defeated in the first round of voting.

The whole area is bordered to the east by the Efoulan district, to the north by the Mvolyé district, to the south by the Mbenda village and to the west by the Biyem-assi district. Nsimeyong.

It is with the agreement of all the chiefs of this territory that this village will take this name with the meaning "the fear of the people". However, this name will take its literal meaning in the expression "Place where people are trained, educated, or instructed" because it would be composed of the noun nsim, derived from sim, which means "to educate, train, teach, civilize, elegant, distinguish, precious". Population The population of Nsimeyong is largely composed of indigenous Ewondo. People from other parts of the country have settled there over the years. Education According to its etymology, Nsimeyong is indeed a place of culture, education and institutions. It is home to several primary, secondary and higher education institutions (such as the ISTAG Institute), all of which are in the private sector. Religion The chapel of Saint Charles Borromeo. Crossroads of the chapel. The chapel of Saint Charles Borromeo in Nsimeyong Pentecostal churches Economic activities This neighborhood has some makeshift shops and a few places to grill (roasted pork and chicken) and relax (snack bars). There is also a bakery. References
James Wynne "Jim" Dungey (1923–2015) was a British space scientist who was pivotal in establishing the field of space weather and made significant contributions to the fundamental understanding of plasma physics. Early life and career Jim Dungey grew up in Stamford, Lincolnshire, the son of a schoolteacher. During World War II, he worked at British Thompson-Houston in Rugby, on developments for radar. After the end of the war, he gained a degree from Magdalene College, Cambridge in 1947, where he stayed to pursue a Ph.D. under the supervision of British polymath scientist Fred Hoyle. From 1950 to 1953 he worked at the University of Sydney with Ron Giovanelli, from 1953 to 1954 at Pennsylvania State University and from 1954 to 1957 back at Cambridge. From 1957 to 1959 he was a mathematics lecturer at King's College, Newcastle upon Tyne (now Newcastle University) and from 1959 to 1963 he worked at Aldermaston. In 1963 he moved to the Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London, where he was a physics professor from 1965 to 1984. The discovery of magnetic reconnection Dungey introduced the concept of magnetic reconnection, a mechanism that was not initially accepted but is now recognized to be of fundamental importance in all areas of plasma (ionized gas) physics. Magnetic reconnection has key effects on astrophysical, space, and laboratory plasmas in converting magnetic energy into heat and energised charged particles. It also enables a wide range of phenomena by reconfiguring magnetic field lines. Reconnection is a process that occurs in the solar corona, interplanetary space, Earth's magnetosphere, fusion tokamaks and many astrophysical objects. It is also the key controlling factor in space weather effects on operational systems, causing the release of energy in solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and being the key mechanism that transfers energy from the solar wind flow (and its enhancement due to CMEs) to Earth's space environment, the magnetosphere. It is also a very important in fusion research, causing problems for the magnetic confinement of the plasma in tokamaks but is harnessed in some devices to help compress the plasma. Dungey considered the origins of the known system of currents in the polar ionospheres detected using high-latitude magnetometers. He had been steered toward this work by his PhD supervisor, Fred Hoyle, after Hoyle examined the DSc thesis of Ron Giovanelli in Sydney, Australia—a thesis that contained the concept of magnetic nulls acting to power solar flares by annihilating oppositely-directed magnetic fields at current sheets. Hoyle wondered if some such mechanism could power Earth's aurora. Dungey's innovations were to restrict the region of magnetic interaction in the current sheet and predict the magnetic field topology changes: this allowed energised paricles and reconnected magnetic flux to escape along the current sheet Initial reaction and acceptance of reconnection Dungey initially had difficulty in getting his work published. The most important journal for British space physics research at the time was Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society but his submission there was rejected. On the advice of Sydney Chapman he submitted the work to Philosophical Magazine, where it was finally accepted. There were technical problems with the mechanism that needed to be overcome. For example the initial theory of Parker and Sweet, although giving magnetic reconnection, is not fast enough and could not deliver enough voltage (which, by Faraday's law, equals flux magnetic transfer rate). This was solved by aerodynamicist Harry Petschek who added shock fronts standing on the inflow to the reconnection site: these have a number of effects but crucially open up the outflow region to allow more rapid ejection of reconnected flux and plasma along the current sheet, that being the limitation to Parker-Sweet reconnection and the cause of the choking-off of magnetic annihilation. Now it is recognised that the same role is played by Alfvén waves. In addition to this valid problem which needed to be overcome, a great many other problems were raised: for example, the inappropriate application of "Lenz's law" (a problem Dungey was aware of and had solved in his PhD work) and unnecessary philosophical objections to the concept of moving magnetic field lines. Dungey's 1961 paper described what came to be called the "open magnetosphere model" and only shortly preceded the advent of in-situ measurements by spacecraft. As more space data were accrued, the longer the list grew of features of magnetospheric and ionospheric structure and behaviour that were uniquely explained by his idea. Nevertheless, ironically, acceptance of the concept was more universal in areas away from magnetospheric physics, such as solar physics, astrophysics and laboratory plasma physics. In particular, Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén was a vocal, trenchant and influential critic, rejecting reconnection along with his own (and now almost universally-used) concept of frozen-in magnetic flux for large-scale plasmas (also called "Alfvén's theorem" or "ideal MHD") , which was part of the formulation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for which he gained the Nobel prize in 1970. Reconnection is a breakdown of ideal MHD that occurs in thin current sheets and reconnection provides the solution to one of the biggest objections to ideal MHD by untangling field lines that would be ever more tangled if frozen-in applied without it. Today, reconnection is well established as a key mechanism which is vital in explaining the transfer of mass, energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere, thereby driving terrestrial space weather and geomagnetic disturbance. Later life The citation for the award of Honorary Membership of the European Geophysical Society (now the European Geosciences Union) in 1994 emphasised the importance and breadth of Dungey's work both as a scientist and in training later generations. A great many features of Earth's magnetosphere were first proposed and investigated by Dungey after he had proposed magnetic reconnection. He was the first to compute the length of the geomagnetic tail and his value was in good agreement with that found by the first spacecraft missions to visit that region of space. He predicted "lobe reconnection" when the interplanetary magnetic field points northward, which is observed by low-Earth orbit spacecraft (for example during the Space hurricane event) and in observations of dayside auroral forms. Lobe reconnection has the important implication that the magnetosphere is rarely, if ever, an equilibrium system. Dungey was the first to suggest that MHD waves in the outer magnetosphere were the sources of oscillations seen at the Earth's surface and that these continuous pulsations were a resonant process and, in particular he recognised the role of Kelvin-Helmholz waves on magnetospheric boundaries in this context and (with David Southwood) showed gave important mechanisms and diagnostics. He was the first to recognise the importance of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and worked with his student Stephen Knight on the generation of field-aligned potential drops. He proposed particle diffusion in the radiation belts, and (with Stan Cowley) waves and particles in current sheets. Dungey was also the first to recognise that gyro-resonant interactions between whistler-mode waves and Van Allen radiation belt electrons are significant for precipitating the latter into the ionosphere, a mechanism that is fundamental to modern studies of the radiation belts. Dungey also supervised a series of space physicists who went on to make contributions to the field, such as David Southwood, Stan Cowley, Jeff Hughes, Don Fairfield and Maha Ashour-Abdalla. He was also an supporter of proposed missions and facilities that were used by the next generation of scientists, such as the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radars and the European Space Agency's Cluster multi-spacecraft mission. Dungey authored the first proposal for Cluster, calling it TOPS, "Tetrahedral observatory probe system". That was in 1966, 30 years before the first attempt to launch Cluster on board the ill-fated Ariane flight V88 of Ariane 5 and 34 years before the spacecraft mission was successfully launched.

Chanequa Walker-Barnes is an American theologian and psychologist. Her research as a clinical psychologist has focused on African American health disparities, and as a womanist theologian she has written about the myth of the "StrongBlackWoman" and the need for the voices of women of color. She has written two books, Too Heavy a Yoke and I Bring the Voices of My People. Early life and education Walker-Barnes was born and raised in Atlanta. She has spoken about growing up in a "racially conscious family in the Deep South". Her grandfathers were sharecroppers, and her paternal grandfather and great-grandfather ran away from the White farmer who "owned" them in the early 1900s. Her parents, Wali Sharif and Laquitta Walker, met when they were in one of the first group of Black students to integrate their school in Atlanta. She lived with her mother and brother in the home of Hosea Williams with his daughter, Elisabeth Omilami, her mother's best friend. Walker-Barnes has a BA in Psychology from Emory University and a MS and PhD in Clinical Child and Family Psychology from the University of Miami. She later earned a Masters of Divinity from Duke Divinity School, where she was mentored by Willie James Jennings. Career Walker-Barnes worked a research psychologist, focusing on ethnic minority families, African American adolescent development and health disparities. After attending seminary, she focused on racial and gender justice. She was ordained by an independent church fellowship. Walker-Barnes has been on the faculty at Shaw University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Florida and Duke University. Until 2021, she was Associate Professor of Practical Theology at the McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University, where she taught pastoral care and counseling. In 2015, she organised the first Women of Color retreat with Christena Cleveland to support and encourage women of color of faith. In 2019, she facilitated the Writing for Mystic Activists workshop for the Collegeville Institute for Ecumenical and Cultural Research. Walker-Barnes was on staff at a white-majority church, but left after the George Zimmerman verdict saying, "We were mourning. And we went to church on Sunday morning hoping we would hear a word of comfort. And many of us who went to either multi-racial or predominately white spaces found no word of comfort. We found no word at all.” In 2021, Walker-Barnes was appointed to the faculty of Columbia Theological Seminary as Professor of Practical Theology and Pastoral Counseling. Walker-Barnes is on the editorial board for the Society of Pastoral Theology's Journal of Pastoral Theology and is co-chair of their Embodiment Study Group. She is a member of the American Academy of Religion, the American Psychological Association and the Georgia Psychological Association. Writing Walker-Barnes' book Too Heavy a Yoke: Black Women and the Burden of Strength talks about what she calls "Strong Black Woman Syndrome", a cultural stereotype that initially developed as a defense against negative stereotypes of African American women - "the manipulative Jezebel, the Mammy, the Sapphire" - but leads to the burdensome expectation that black women be "super capable ... take care of others ... [and] emotionally strong to the point of stoicism." She calls out churches for perpetuating and spiritualizing the stereotype, which has had negative physical and mental health consequences. Her 2019 book I Bring the Voices of My People: A Womanist Vision for Racial Reconciliation points out the inadequacy of the contemporary white evangelical approach to racial reconciliation and proposes an alternative, drawing on the work of womanist, feminist, and Black liberation theologians including James Cone and J. Deotis Roberts. In 2021, a prayer written by Walker-Barnes was included in Sarah Bessey's book, A Rhythm of Prayer, a collection of prayers by women writers. The prayer, "Prayer of a weary Black Woman", provoked controversy from conservative Christians on social media due to its opening words, "Dear God, please help me to hate White people", with some calling for Target to remove the book from stores. Walker-Barnes received harassing emails, calls and social media posts, as did her institution. Bessey defended Walker-Barnes, saying "While some may consider this to be a provocative start to a prayer, its intentional extraction from the rest of the prayer obscures its context and the biblical model it is based on ... Our sister is bringing her weariness and her anger over the real sin of racism to God." Personal life Walker-Barnes is married to Delwin Barnes, a mechanical engineer. They have a son and live in Atlanta, Georgia. She is a survivor of breast cancer.

The Asō Cabinet governed Japan from 24 September 2008 to 16 September 2009 by Prime Minister Tarō Asō after his predecessor Yasuo Fukuda resigned. The cabinet resigned after a year in office following the defeat in the 2009 general election, which the opposition Democratic Party won a majority in the House of Representatives. History Formation The 170th National Diet elected the new Prime Minister on 24 September 2008. As no single party controlled both the houses, the parliament failed to come up with a single candidate: the lower chamber House of Representatives nominated Tarō Asō, Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, while the upper chamber House of Councillors chose Ichirō Ozawa, Leader of the Democratic Party. With the supremacy of the House of Representatives, Asō was therefore elected. He then announced his cabinet, in a departure from usual practice which Chief Cabinet Secretary gave the announcement. On the next day, the cabinet agreed on the succession line of the acting premiership, and to return 10% of the ministerial salary to the national treasury as per previous cabinets' decisions. Call for early election The cabinet was formed with Asō's overwhelming support in the party, and was expected to lead the party in another poll. The opposition party called for dissolving the House of Representatives and an early general election. The media also speculated the Prime Minister of what was described as the "acting government" could agree to that. Tarō Asō reportedly planned to dissolve parliament in October, with a script announcing so was prepared, but the plunge of stock market index in the financial crisis later that month and the drop of approval rate forced Asō to postpone the dissolution. Decline in support The cabinet enjoyed an approval rate of around 50% at the early stage, but sank to 20% in December 2008 according to the opinion polls by Japanese newspapers. With the division in the party, the confidence of Asō commanding the party in the next election had dropped. The government faced the impact of the financial crisis, which dragged its popularity after the cabinet did not submit the financial budget at an earlier time. But the controversies of Prime Minister mispronouncing words and the abrupt resignation of the two successive former Prime Ministers dealt blows to the ruling party as the public lost the trust to the party. The approval rate of the government further slide to 11% in January 2009. On 17 February, Shōichi Nakagawa resigned as Minister of Finance after his drowsiness in a press conference of G7 meeting. The support rate of the cabinet bounced back as Ichirō Ozawa was hit by scandals. But after Yukio Hatoyama took over as the leader of the opposition, and Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Kunio Hatoyama resigned on 12 June over replacement of Japan Post Holdings president, the cabinet was losing support again, falling back into "dangerous situation". Dissolution of parliament Since February 2009, some Liberal Democrats has called for the Prime Minister to resign. The privatisation of postal service further divided the party, with some party senior officials blocking the decisions from Tarō Asō in May, and former high-ranking party member publicly urged Asō to step down. Tarō Asō finally announced the decision on 13 July 2009 to dissolve the House of Representatives and hold an early general election on 30 August through an unusual notice. A censure motion against the Prime Minister was passed by the upper house on 14 July. Some party members believed the election shall be held in Autumn 2008, while others pondered whether Asō will remain as the Prime Minister even if the Liberal Democrats win the election. Resignation The election on 30 August 2009 saw the disastrous defeat of the Liberal Democratic Party. 6 cabinet ministers lost their re-election bids, and the party lost the majority in the House of Representatives. Tarō Asō announced his resignation at that night. Following their defeat, two cabinet ministers were criticised for giving up the last ministerial duties after being absent from the WTO meeting in September. On 16 September 2009, Tarō Asō and his cabinet formally resigned in an extraordinary parliament meeting. Cabinet Summary The average age of the cabinet ministers is 58.2, around four years younger than the previous cabinet. Yūko Obuchi, aged 34 and 9 months when appointed, became the youngest post-WWII minister. Kaoru Yosano was the oldest minister in the cabinet at the age of 70. Five ministers from the last cabinet stayed in office while other five entered the cabinet for the first time. The government was also nicknamed the "hereditary cabinet" as the fathers or grandfathers of four cabinet members had served as the Prime Minister, including Prime Minister himself, Kunio Hatoyama, Hirofumi Nakasone, and Yūko Obuchi. Departures Nariaki Nakayama resigned as Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism just five days after assuming office over controversial comments. Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office Kenta Matsunami was sacked in January 2009 after voting abstain for amended budget. Shōichi Nakagawa resigned as Minister of Finance in February. In March, Koichi Hirata resigned as Deputy Minister of Finance for breaching ministerial code. Yoshitada Konoike resigned as Deputy Cabinet Secretary in May over expenses scandal. Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Kunio Hatoyama resigned on 12 June after president of postal service stayed in office, who was followed by Tōru Toida's resignation as Parliamentary Secretary for Minister of Health, Labour, and Welfare. Chuko Hayakawa and Yoshihisa Furukawa, who served as Parliamentary Secretary for Minister of Justice and Minister of Environment, also offered to step down after Hatoyama's quit. Both eventually stayed. Ministers The bracket after the party indicates the faction. "Hse" refers to the Houses of National Diet, with "R" as House of Representatives and "C" as House of Councillors.

Mughal tombs are a set of tombs built by various ruling in Mughal Emperors. All of them have marked influence from Iranian Timurid forms. The Mughal dynasty was established after the victory of Babur at Panipat in 1526. During his five-year reign, Babur took considerable interest in erecting buildings, though few have survived. His grandson Akbar built widely, and the style developed vigorously during his reign. Among his accomplishments were Agra Fort, the fort-city of Fatehpur Sikri, and the Buland Darwaza. Akbar's son Jahangir commissioned the Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir. Mughal architecture reached its zenith during the reign of Shah Jahan, who constructed Taj Mahal, the Jama Masjid, the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore, the Wazir Khan Mosque, and who renovated the Lahore Fort. The last of the great Mughal architects was Aurangzeb, who built the Badshahi Mosque, Bibi Ka Maqbara, Moti Masjid etc. Mughal architecture, a type of Indo-Islamic architecture developed during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries throughout the ever-changing extent of their empire in the Indian subcontinent. It developed the styles of earlier Muslim dynasties in India as an amalgam of Islamic, Persian and Indian architecture. Mughal buildings have a uniform pattern of structure and character, including large bulbous domes, slender minarets at the corners, massive halls, large vaulted gateways, and delicate ornamentation; Examples of the style can be found in modern-day Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Precedents Iltutmish was the first emperor to have a large tomb in the subcontinent. Most of the tombs in Mughal Empire had marked influence from Iranian Timurid forms.

Tubular carcinoma is a subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. More rarely, it may affect the pancreas or kidney. It begins in the milk duct of the breast and spreads to healthy tissue around it. Pathology Although tubular carcinoma has been considered a special-type tumor, recent trend has been to classify it as a low-grade, invasive NOS carcinoma because there is a continuous spectrum from pure tubular carcinomas to mixed NOS carcinomas with tubular features, depending on the percentage of the lesion that displays tubular features. Histology Tubular carcinomas are generally around 1 cm. or smaller, and are made up of tubules. They are usually low-grade. Elastosis has been noted as common but is not present in all cases. Prevalence Prevalence has previously been controversial, with contradictory reports from studies reporting either very low prevalence, or a high prevalence. With the increasing availability of screening mammography, however, tubular carcinomas are being diagnosed earlier, and more recent studies suggest they are around 8% to 27% of all breast cancers. Prognosis Tubular carcinoma is one of the histologic types of breast cancer with a more favorable outcome.

At home, she would experiment with Logic Pro and producing demos which she would then publish onto SoundCloud. Tala describes her favorite instrument as the guitar, with a preference towards nylon guitars but additionally enjoying acoustic and electric guitars. She is self-taught in playing guitar. Career 2018–2019: Studies, Starry Ache, Sensitive Soul During her time at the University of Bristol, she studied English literature of which she would graduate with first-class honours. Tala turned down the chance to pursue a master's degree at the University of Cambridge in favor of pursuing a career in music. Tala stated she intended to return to her university studies in the future and pursue her master's degree in addition to a PhD and become a professor, in addition to her intent on winning a Grammy. Tala finished her first and second EPs Starry Ache and Sensitive Soul while she was in university at age 21. She finished her single Lovestained as she was finishing her dissertation. Her thesis was titled "The presence of white spectatorship in Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly". In it, Tala argues that Lamar saw the white spectator as being both fascinated and fearful of black masculinity, examining the white gaze and seeing black masculinity as something to be feared. Tala's moniker was derived from her birth name. Hope was her given name at birth, while Tala is derived from her middle name Natasha. Natasha, a Russian language name, was referred to in the diminutive as Tala, which she found while looking up nicknames for the name online. Finding the name Tala beautiful, she used it as her own name as an artist. Tala was discovered as a musical artist following the submission of her demos to the Instagram account Arthoecollective. Mikey Alfred, founder of streetwear brand Illegal Civilization, discovered Tala's music through the account. Alfred first played Tala's demo at a Beats 1 show hosted with Pharrell Williams. Tala's first single was "Blue", published in 2018 when she was 20 years old, which was later included on the EP Starry Ache. The title Starry Ache was derived from an excerpt of Donna Tartt's novel The Goldfinch. She would proceed to release her singles "Lovestained" and "D.T.M." in 2019. "Lovestained" was written as Tala was working towards her degree in English literature. Tala's "Lovestained" would later be placed on Rolling Stone'''s "50 Best songs of 2019" list at #8. The two singles would be compiled into her EP Sensitive Soul. 2020–present: Girl Eats Sun and other singles Tala's "All My Girls Like To Fight" was her first song in 2020. It was around this time that Tala had declined pursuing a master's degree in favor of a career in music. Speaking to Wonderland, Tala described music as a "one-shot career" and that she would have "regretted continuing her studies" when there was the opportunity to continue on later in life. Tala described writing "All My Girls Like To Fight" as "constructing an expansive narrative in a song" and she "wanted to portray women having strength and agency in the narrative". The song would be included in her EP Girl Eats Sun. Artistry and public image Tala's All My Girls Like To Fight was listed as one of Barack Obama's favorite songs of 2020. According to GQ, Tala had allegedly found out that she was included on the list from a second-hand source, stating to Dork that it was through an Instagram comment, having switched off her phone at the time to watch Strictly Come Dancing with her mother. Her song Tiptoeing was chosen by Clara Amfo as BBC One's "Hottest Record in the World" on October 19, 2021. Stating that she abandoned the concept of "genre" within her work, she describes her process as going along with what is natural to her and what she liked. Tala's musical style was described by herself speaking to Gay Times as "the late 90s, early noughties American R&B music, bossa nova, pop, indie as well." Speaking to British Vogue she stated that she wanted to create "a sound that I'd never heard before but wanted to listen to", and that the resulting product was a synthesis between bossa nova with Latin influences, with R&B and soul influence. Tala states that she has a soft spot for the Neo soul genre, stating that the female-dominated genre was quite rare "particularly in black music", in addition to describing it as being an intelligent and self aware genre of music. Speaking to TMRW Magazine, Tala stated she was raised on contemporary R&B and soul music, and that Latin and bossa nova music had an influence on those genres. Those influences then inspired songs that she had listened to when she was younger in songs such as 1 Thing by Amerie, Beautiful by Snoop Dogg feat Pharrell Williams and Charlie Wilson, and Señorita by Justin Timberlake. Her musical works often draw their inspiration from authors that Tala admire such as William Shakespeare, J. D. Salinger, Donna Tartt, Zadie Smith, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Ruth Ozeki, Françoise Sagan, Chinua Achebe, Maya Angelou, and Audre Lorde. Tala describes Sylvia Plath as her favorite poet. Speaking to gal-dem, Tala stated that she would not remember the name of famous actors, but that she would "remember authors' names and book names forever". Her EP Sensitive Soul was inspired by Eve's Hollywood by Eve Babitz and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Tala derives inspiration from objects of desire and biblical references, such as the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve. Tala's single Party Sickness drew from the social experiences faced by youth struggling to acclimate to social situations following the COVID-19 pandemic. Tala writes about her personal experiences as a queer person of colour, finding it important to write music that "queer people can see themselves in" but not "[forcing] my own narrative onto anyone". Personal life Tala understood that she was bisexual when she was 14 years old, and she felt that she was in the LGBTQIA+ community though her interaction with music and books. She came out at the age of 14 to her parents, who accepted her. Speaking to Complex Magazine'' Tala described her difficulties in finding a sense of identity and the lack of representation that LGBT individuals face in mainstream media, music, and literature. Tala, who was born to a Jamaican father and British-Irish mother, considers herself Black or Mixed Race. Describing her experiences as an individual coming from two different backgrounds, Tala stated she felt caught between two cultures, having to navigate between two differing cultural spaces as a child. She describes her interactions with her peers and how she felt the need to change the way she spoke navigating between different cultures, being asked "You're black, why do you speak like you're posh?"

This is the order of battle of the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) on the outbreak of World War I in August 1914. Commanders and locations of the Imperial German Navy The overall commander of the Imperial German Navy was Kaiser Wilhelm II. All authority over the navy was vested in the Kaiser, and he was ultimately responsible for all decisions regarding the navy. Under the Kaiser were a number of organisational bodies responsible for various aspects of the navy's administration and operation, each of which was directly responsible to the Kaiser: The Naval Cabinet was a body of the Imperial Household, with responsibility over promotions and appointments, and the drafting and issuing of the Kaiser's orders. Chief of the Naval Cabinet - Admiral Georg von Müller The Imperial Naval Administration was the government department with responsibility for the Navy, which was answerable to the Imperial Chancellor, and was headed by the State Secretary. State Secretary - Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz Deputy State Secretary - Vice-Admiral Eduard von Capelle The departmental heads within the Imperial Naval Administration were: The Admiralty Staff was formed in 1899 to replace the Naval High Command, and operated as an organisation intended to gather intelligence and prepare operational plans for presentation to and approval of the Kaiser.

High Seas Fleet The High Seas Fleet (Hochseeflotte) was the primary formation of the Imperial German Navy, with its main element being the three operational battle squadrons to which the navy's battleships were assigned. The majority of units of the High Seas Fleet were stationed at Wilhelmshaven for operations in the North Sea. A small force was stationed at Kiel for use in the Baltic, which could be quickly reinforced by North Sea-based units via the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal. The High Seas Fleet was under the command of Admiral Friedrich von Ingenohl, whose flagship was the battleship Friedrich der Grosse.

Coast Defence Group Baltic Cruisers (Flagship) Torpedo-Boat Flotilla U-boat Flotilla Minelayers Outpost Half-Flotilla Kiel / Elder Torpedo-Boats Other ships Naval Aviation The Imperial German Navy had a small aviation capability, which was originally formed in 1913 when the Kaiser decreed the foundation of the Naval Aviation Forces (Marinefliegerkräfte). Within the newly formed aviation section were two separate commands - the Naval Airship Detachment, based at Nordholz, near Cuxhaven, and the Naval Flying Detachment, which was split between Kiel, Heligoland and Putzig. Naval Airship Detachment Zeppelin L 3 Naval Flying Detachment 1st Naval Flying Detachment Kiel Detachment Heligoland Detachment Putzig Detachment Overseas units In addition to the main body of the Imperial German Navy stationed in home waters, Germany also maintained a number of overseas deployments of ships. The majority of these were usually of one or two cruisers operating independently, with the primary formation of German warships outside German waters being the East Asia Squadron, under the command of Vice-Admiral Maximilian von Spee, which was stationed at Tsingtao. The navy also provided a significant proportion of the garrison at Tsingtao, with approximately 1,200 of the 3,000 strong garrison coming come one of the marine battalions. The other major unit was the Mediterranean Division, commanded by Rear-Admiral Wilhelm Souchon.

Anchimolus ( ; died 511 BC) was a Spartan military commander who led an expedition against the Athenian tyrant Hippias in 511 BC. He was possibly the first navarch of Sparta. Life Anchimolus, son of Aster, was a Spartiate who received command of Sparta's first expedition against the Athenian tyrant Hippias. The incursion on Attica was done by sea rather than through land as was Spartan custom, possibly to avoid opposition from the city of Megara during the march. Altogether this meant that the expedition was a small one, led as it was by a private citizen rather than one of Sparta's kings, and because ships could only carry few troops, all infantry. Anchimolus and his force landed at Phalerum, while Hippias secured for Athens the aid of 1000 allied Thessalian cavalrymen led by a local king of theirs, Cineas, and then felled some local woods to create a favorable terrain for them. The Spartans, who lacked a screening force and were unprepared to face this strong body of cavalry, were defeated and driven back to their ships. Anchimolus was among the dead, and was subsequently buried in Alopece near the temple of Heracles at Cynosarges. It has been suggested that Anchimolus was the first Spartan to hold the office of navarch (leader of ships). The name Anchimolus, which means 'close at hand', is extremely rare and almost unparalleled in ancient Greek history. References 510s BC deaths 6th-century BC Spartans Ancient Spartan generals

The Soma Solar Power Station is a planned 150 megawatts solar power plant in Gambia. The two lead developers of this renewable energy infrastructure are the Government of Gambia and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The World Bank and the European Investment Bank, have jointly committed US$164 million in loans towards this development. Location The power station is planned to sit on of land in the town of Soma, in Jarra West District, in the Lower River Division of Gambia. Soma, Gambia is located south of the River Gambia, approximately , east of the capital city of Banjul. By design, this solar farm is within the vicinity of the 225kV/30kV substation, under construction in Soma, by the Organisation pour la mise en valeur du fleuve Gambie (OMVG) (English:Gambia River Development Organization), whose membership comprises (a) Gambia (b) Guinea (c) Guinea Bissau and (d) Senegal. Overview As of January 2019, Gambia had total installed generating capacity of approximately 139 megawatts. Of this, the Gambia National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC), generated 102 megawatts and an independent power producer generated approximately 26 megawatts, at Brikama, an urban centre, south of Banjul. All these installations use "expensive fossil-fuels" (either natural gas or heavy fuel oil). In addition, as of November 2021, there was a deficit of 11 megawatts in the Gambian grid during peak hours To mitigate these challenges, the concerned parties designed two inter-related strategies: Strategy 1 OMVG to build a 225kV transmission line to evacuate power from the 450 MW Sambangalou Hydroelectric Power Station, the 240 MW Kaleta Hydroelectric Power Station and the 530 MW Souapiti Hydroelectric Power Station and transmit this power to the major urban centres in the four countries where it is needed most. A total of 15 substations will be built in the region, stepping down power from 225kV to 30kV for eventual distribution to homes, businesses and industry. One of those substations is under development in the town of Soma, Gambia. Strategy 2 The Gambia will build a 150 MW solar farm near the planned 250kV/30kV substation in Soma, to either upload power to stabilize the Gambian grid or for injection into the West African Power Pool or both, depending on conditions. The phased development of the solar farm will see the first 80 megawatts developed first, followed by the second phase of 70 megawatts developed about four years later. The design incorporates a battery energy storage system (BESS), in the 100MWh to 150MWh range. Development Th tender for a consultant or consortium of consultants went out in August 2021. The consultant(s) will carry out a feasibility study. The study will guide as to the selection of an independent power producer (IPP), who will sign power purchase agreements (PPAs) with NAWEC and WAPP. It is anticipated that once an IPP is selected and the PPAs signed, construction will take no more that 2 years at most.

Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements (1872–1885) is a series of scientific photographs by Eadweard Muybridge to study motion in animals including humans. In all, over 100,000 images were made, resulting in a portfolio of 781 composite collotype prints published in 1887. Following his invention of the zoöpraxiscope and motion studies in California, Muybridge was commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania to oversee the photographic aspects of a scientific study of animal movement. Work from the commission was subsequently published as an eleven-volume portfolio set titled Animal Locomotion. The body of work is celebrated for its contribution to both the art of photography and to science. History In 1879, Muybridge created the zoöpraxiscope (animal action viewer), a projection device that created cyclical animations of animal movement, incorporating technologies from photography, the magic lantern and the zoetrope. The photographer created painted sequences on the glass zoöpraxiscope discs that were based on his motion-study photographs to produce an early form of animation. Muybridge used these to illustrate his lectures that were presented to audiences in the U.S. and Europe, marking his contribution to photography and film in relation to the "experience of time within modernity." In a 1885 news report, the photographer stated that his interest in animal movement was inspired by observing an eagle flying in the Yosemite Valley in California some years prior. Muybridge described the bird as making "numerous flaps with its wings, but in flying across a valley to another peak it went for a distance of over a mile with but one flap of the wings. I was convinced that individual feather movements upheld and propelled the bird, and I can prove by the negative plates of the eagle whose flight we photographed last Thursday that my conclusion was correct." These earlier photographs in California formed the basis for his later work with the University of Pennsylvania. While working in California, Muybridge used the wet-plate collodion process in making his albumen-print photographs. Once he got to Philadelphia, he began to employ a standardized dry-plate process, involving quicker exposure times; these were printed using the collotype photomechanical process. Muybridge commission The Animal Locomotion project was a collaborative endeavor between the photographer, and the institutional commissioning committee at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1883, Muybridge met with William Pepper and J.B. Lippincott to discuss a plan for a scientific study focused on the analysis of animal and human movement. The university contributed $5,000 to what would be a total cost of about $30,000, seeing the proposed project as important research that would benefit anthropology, physiology, medicine and sports. Using a 12-camera photographic rig, Muybridge made series of sequential images that captured humans walking down stairs, pole vaulting, running, wrestling and other activities. Muybridge's chronophotographic studies included animals as well, and even exotic species borrowed from the Philadelphia Zoo. These plates included The Horse in Motion, Capybara Walking depicting the world's largest rodent, Ostrich Running (also printed as a cyanotype) and American Bison Cantering, among other representations of animals. Some of these studies were conducted using a 24-camera photographic rig. The cameras were placed 27-inches apart alongside a track containing trip wires that triggered the shutters on the cameras. Between the years of 1883 and 1886, Muybridge was engaged in a productive period at the University of Pennsylvania when he and his team produced over 100,000 images of locomotion in humans and animals. The painter Thomas Eakins worked with him briefly, althogh the painter preferred working with multiple exposures on a single negative, whereas Muybridge preferred capturing motion through the use of multiple cameras. Content and publication Muybridge would publish his study as an eleven volume set, consisting of 781 plates, each presenting the successive photographic images of a single subject, under the title Animal Locomotion. Alternatively, individual subscribers had the option of selecting 100 plates of their choosing from the portfolio's prospectus and complete catalog for $100. Contrary to the animal focus suggested by the title of the collection, only about 200 of the images represented subjects other than humans, and many of the animal plates featured horses, the latter partially a consequence of Muybridge's offering private owners to photograph their horses in exchange for a contribution to the cost of the study. In many cases the human images featured nude or partially-nude men or women, directly confronting a local controversy over the use of nude models in art. Though the animals were typically photographed running or walking across the frame, human subjects were also portrayed performing activities ranging from typical daily tasks to competitive athletics. Reception Muybridge's Animal Locomotion project received attention in the news, who reported on his unusual character and eccentricities as well as the photographic project. The collection's portrayal of nude subjects has been the focus of a directed scholarly study. Impact on other artists Historians and theoreticians have proposed that Muybridge's work on animal locomotion influenced a number of other artists, photographers and filmmakers, including Marcel Duchamp, Thomas Eakins, Walt Disney, among others. The composer, Philip Glass created a three-part chamber opera titled The Photographer in 1982 that featured a slide show of the motion studies in the second act. The conceptual artist, Sol LeWitt was inspired by the serial nature of the Animal Locomotion studies, and produced works that directly refers to it. In 1992, the Addison Gallery of American Art produced the exhibition, Motion and Document–Sequence and Time: Eadweard Muybridge and Contemporary American Photography, pairing Muybridge's animal motion studies with the work of 42 artists and photographers among them Vito Acconci and Sarah Charlesworth. The show later traveled to the Long Beach Museum of Art. Collections The University of Pennsylvania houses the Muybridge Collection, which contains 740 of the 781 plates, along with some of his photographic equipment. Images from the series are held in numerous permanent collections including the Royal Academy of Arts, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Metropolitan Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and others.

Several nuclear reactors in Germany and abroad are referred to as Pre-Konvoi. The term means that these units were produced and constructed prior to the manufacturer KWU, meaning Kraftwerk Union AG in German switched over to a standardized design for this type of pressurized water reactor. Some of the Pre-Konvoi plants include: Brokdorf, Grafenrheinfeld, Grohnde and Philippsburg unit 2. There are also one Pre-Konvoi plants abroad, the Angra Nuclear Power Station located in Brazil, they are also the only country currently constructing a new Pre-Konvoi PWR. Unit 3 at the Angra Nuclear Power Plant which has been in various stages in construction since 1984. These PWRs are large 1300 MW reactors, most were built between 1982 and 1986 by Kraftwerk Union (KWU). Compared to the previous generation of PWRs, the Pre-Konvoi plants have some safety improvements. Since the basic design dates back to the 1970s and basic plant parts cannot be retrofitted (e.g. reinforcement of the wall thickness of the reactor pressure vessel), they do not reach the safety level of the Konvoi plants, which represent a further development of the pre-Konvoi plants.
