10 Dorchester Drive is a 1935 art deco style house in Herne Hill, south London, England, designed by Kemp and Tasker, with the builders Messrs Morrell of Bromley. In February 2022, an emergency Building Preservation Notice was put in place, due to the possibility of its imminent demolition. Background In 1934, Leslie H. Kemp and Frederick E. Tasker won the Ideal House Competition, to design a home, for the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition. Their design used the moderne branch of the art deco style that was then in vogue. A mock-up "show home" was constructed for the 1935 exhibition, at Olympia, London, in a display called "Village of Tomorrow". One feature of the design was that the two downstairs reception rooms could be combined with the hallway, to feature as a ballroom. The house The five-bedroom house on Dorchester Drive, constructed in 1935-1936 by the speculative builders and twin brothers Cyril and Stanley Morrell (born 1908), is one of only three examples of the design built. The building was constructed with its plan at an angle to the street, rather than the more usual parallel alignment. It retains several of its original features, including the bathroom fittings, iron staircase, Crittall windows and a roof terrace. Building Preservation Notice The house was placed on the market in September 2021, having been in the ownership of one family for 60 years. Once it was sold, and because of the attractiveness of its site to property developers, and thus the likely threat of its demolition, the Twentieth Century Society, the Herne Hill Society, and several individuals campaigned for its preservation. On 24 February 2022, Lambeth Council issued a Building Preservation Notice, preventing alteration or demolition, on pain of criminal prosecution. The order remains in effect for six months, during which time the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (as of February 2022, Nadine Dorries) has the option to give the building permanent protection through listing, after taking advice from Historic England. Residents The house was the home of psychologist Hans Eysenck from 1960 until his death in 1997, and remained occupied by his widow Sybil until she died in 2020.

Larry Coleman is the most successful sidecar roadracer in the United States, winning three American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) national championships ('76, '77, '79), and a land-speed record holder in sidecar divisions. He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2010. Stationed in Germany with the military in the late 1960s, Coleman in fall of 1968 founded a motorcycle club with fellow US soldiers, named "Bones MC", after a MAD magazine cartoon with a cigarette in a skeleton hand. The club, originally based at Frankfurt, predates the first German charter of the Hells Angels, founded 1973 in Hamburg, by several years. The Bones also accepted German members, expanded to Mannheim and other cities, and became the largest MC in Germany. With US members returning after their service, Germans took over, and the Bones MC turned into an "outlaw motorcycle club", until in 1999 16 of the 21 chapters merged ("patch-over") with the smaller Hells Angels MC of Germany. Watching the 1969 German motorcycle Grand Prix at Hockenheimring, Coleman got hooked to sidecars and sidecar racing, riding a BMW R69S with sidecar. Upon returning to the States, Coleman raced a Kawasaki H1 Mach III 500cc sidecar with passenger Wendell Andrews with immediate success in American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) and AMA racing, missing the AMA Championship in 1973 at Laguna Seca by finishing runner up. In 1974, Coleman/Andrews imported a state-of-the-art sidecar racing chassis from England, installed a Suzuki GT750 engine, and dominated both AFM and AMA racing for the next several years, winning two AMA national Championships in 1976–77. After Andrews retired from racing in late 1977, Coleman teamed up with Mark Bevans to contest and win the AMA Championship in 1979. The team built a new chassis for 1980, powered by a Yamaha TZ750, and won the sidecar support race at the 1981 Formula1 Long Beach Grand Prix, which put the team on the cover of Cycle News, as well as earning them articles in Cycle World Magazine, American Motorcyclist and other publications. At the end of the 1981 season, Coleman retired from full-time sidecar racing to pursue a career in the motorcycle industry, where he held sales manager positions with Kal Gard Lubricants, Supertrapp Industries, and K&N Filters. In 1988, Coleman started to compete at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a racing sidecar. He holds since 2011 an Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials AMA national record with a 1350cc Suzuki sidecar at 158.2 mph. At one time he had as many as four records, one of which stood for 17 years. The top was 174 mph. References External links AMA Grand National Championship riders American motorcycle racers Motorcycle racing biography stubs

Alfred Rodenbücher, (29 September 1900 - 29 March 1980) was a German naval officer, Nazi Party politician and Higher SS and Police Leader (HSSPF). Early life Rodenbücher was born in Schopfheim, the son of a textile dyer. He was orphaned as a child and after attending volksschule and trade school, worked in several factories from spring 1915. In October 1916, during the First World War, he enlisted in the Imperial German Navy. He served aboard many ships, including the SMS König Wilhelm, SMS Charlotte and SMS Roon. He also served on torpedo boats through the war and was present at the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. At the conclusion of the war, he remained in the Reichsmarine and served aboard the battleship SMS Hannover and the light cruiser SMS Berlin. He transferred to land duty and served at various naval training facilities until leaving the navy with the rank of Oberbootsmann (Chief Petty Officer) in September 1930. Career with the SS Rodenbücher joined the Nazi Party (membership number 413,447) on 1 January 1931 and the SS (membership number 8,229) on 15 June 1931. In October 1931 he was promoted to SS-Standartenführer and commanded the 40th SS-Standarte based in Kiel. Upon his promotion to SS-Oberführer in October 1932, he moved to Bremen as commander of the SS-Abschnitt (Section) XIV there. After the Nazi seizure of power, he became a State Councilor in the State of Bremen for two months from September 1933. On 19 June 1933, the Austrian Nazi Party and its paramilitary formations were banned. However, Rodenbücher was given command of the underground SS-Abschnitt VIII, headquartered in Linz, Austria. Promoted to SS-Brigadeführer in December, he retained command there until 15 February 1934. He then became the first commander of the SS-Oberabschnitt (Main Section) Österreich, leading all underground SS formations in Austria. However, only five months later, he returned to Germany following the failed July Putsch, though retaining nominal command in Austria until 9 September 1934. On that date, he was promoted to SS-Gruppenführer and put in charge of the Party's relief organization for Austrian SS refugees until November 1938. In March 1936, Rodenbücher was elected to the Reichstag from electoral constituency 23, Düsseldorf-West, and retained this seat until the end of the Nazi regime. From 25 April 1939 to 30 April 1941, Rodenbücher occupied the new position of Higher SS and Police Leader (HSSPF) Alpenland based in Salzburg, and from 1 June simultaneously commanded the SS-Oberabschnitt Alpenland. He was relieved of both positions for conspiring with the Gauleiter of Reichsgau Carinthia, Franz Kutschera, to absorb Reichsgau Salzburg into his jurisdiction. Rodenbücher was offered the lower position of SS Police Leader (SSPF) in the new German administration of Latvia but refused the posting. He was then technically transferred to the staff of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. However, in reality, he was posted to the Kriegsmarine until the end of the war. He acquitted himself well, rising to the rank of Korvettenkapitän and earning the Iron Cross, 1st and 2nd class. After the end of the war, Rodenbücher was held by the British as a prisoner of war until 1948.

Heinz Ritter-Schaumburg (born 3 June 1902 in Greifswald as Heinrich Adolf Ritter; died 22 June 1994 in Schaumburg) was a German scholar and author, who developed a hypothesis about the origin of the legends about Dietrich von Bern and the Nibelungs. His hypothesis was either ignored or rejected by most scientists in the field, but gained a relatively large amount of attention in public since 1975. Live Heinz Ritter grew up in Greifswald as a child, later in Posen and in Düsseldorf in Germany. He studied medicine, German studies, Spanish and Biology, spoke seven languages and gained a pHD Dr. phil. in German studies. He was teacher at a school at Hannover until it was closed in 1936. After that, he founded a residential child care community in Schaumburg, which he lead until 1967. Heinz Ritter is author of a number of books, with a total edition over 100,000. His most famous book was Die Nibelungen zogen nordwärts, 1981. Here he proposed, that the Thidrekssaga is the most basal form of the Germanic heroic legends. Based on that he proposed, that Dietrich von Bern was a now unknown king ruling over Bonn at around 500 AD. His hypothesis was rejected by most scientists in the field of German studies. Hypothesis about the Germanic heroic legends Despite sharing few similarities, the legendary Dietrich von Bern and the historic Theodoric the Great were treated as the same figure since the Middle Ages. The differences between both are usually explained by motifs of oral tradition. In contrast to that, Heinz Ritter-Schaumburg postulated, that the Thidrekssaga is the most ancient form of the Germanic heroic legends, and that it tells from historic events of late 5th and aearly 6th century in northern Germany. In his concept, those parts of the legends, which are clearly related to Theodric the Great and Italy, are later changes in the wrong believe, that Theoderic the Great and Dietrich von Bern would be the same figure. Ritter postulates, that Dietrich von Bern was originally not based on Theodoric the Great, but instead reflects the live of another nowadays unknown king, who ruled at around 500 A.D. over Bonn and the neighboring area. He points out, that Bonn has reportedly been called Bern during the early and high Middle Ages. According to the Thidrekssaga, Dietrich is driven to exile by his uncle Ermenrik, residing in Rome. Dietrich seeks refuge in Susat, the capital in the a kingdom, called Hunaland. The king of Hunaland is callled Attala, Attila, Atilius or Aktilius in the Thidrekssaga. The figure Ermenrik is traditionally believed to originate in the gothic king Ermanaric, who died in 376. Attala is believed to originate in the hunnic ruler Attila, who died in 453. Since both persons were not contemporaries of Theoderich thre Great in reality, it is generally accepted, that the legends about Dietrich von Bern have been transformed in such a way, that they lack every historical correctness. Ritter however postulates, that Attala of the Thidrekssaga was a nowadays unknown King, ruling about the Hunaland with its capital Soest in Germany. Ritter also believes, that the "Rom" in the Thidrekssaga, is not Rome in Italy, but the post-roman Trier, which was the largest city north of the Alps in the late antiquity which a high Roman culture. Ritter postulated, that the legendary Nibelungs (called Niflungs in the Thidrekssaga) came from the area of the Neffel, a little river in western Germany. According to the Thidrekssaga, the Nibelungs crossed the Rhine on their way to Susat, "where Rhine and Duna come together". This sentence of the legend was traditionally believed to reflect just the bad geographic knowledge of the writers, since it was assumed, that the Duna of the Thidrekssaga must be the Danube. It is known, that the Danuube is not a tributary of the Rhine. Ritter pointed out that, there is indeed a little River called Dhünn (Dune in the Middle Ages), which once was a tributary of the Rhine. Nowaydays the Dhünn has been redirected into the Wupper. Ritter proposes, that the Duna of the legend is the Dhünn. Other place names, mentioned in the Thidrekssaga have traditionally located in Germany, even before Ritters studies. Among these are the Visara (Weser), the Osning (Teutoburg Forest), the Lyravald (Lürwald), Baloffa (Balve) and the Musula (Moselle). The latter is mentioned as the river, where the battle of Gränsport takes place. Selected works Germanistik Studies about Novalis: Die Datierung der <Hymnen an die Nacht>. In: Euphorion 52, C.

Anders Carlson (born June 16, 1999) is an American football placekicker for the Auburn Tigers. As a placekicker, he has been recognized as both a high school and collegiate All-American, as well as an All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) First Team and Lou Groza Award semifinalist selection. High school career Carlson attended and played football, soccer, and basketball at The Classical Academy (Titans) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In 2014, as a sophomore, he made four of six field goal attempts with a long of 44 yards, as well as nine out of 10 PATs. In 2015, as a junior, he made 11 of 18 field goal attempts with a long of 52 yards, and 37 of 38 PATs. In 2016, as a senior, he made 13 of 23 field goal attempts, including a long of 51 yards, and all 49 of his PATs. Carlson was invited to and played in the 2017 Under Armour All-America Game. A three-star college prospect was the highest-rated prep kicker recruit in the nation coming out of high school. ESPN rated him a top-10 overall recruit prospect in the state of Colorado. He committed to play college football for the Auburn Tigers over scholarship offers from Oklahoma State and Vanderbilt. As a soccer player, Carlson helped the Titans to the 2014 and 2015 Class 4A State finals. College career 2017 season In 2017, Carlson redshirted his true freshman football season at Auburn as he served as the backup placekicker to his older brother, Daniel. 2018 season In 2018, prior to his redshirt freshman, Carlson gained attention after kicking a 62-yard field goal at Auburn's practice facility. That season, he successfully converted 15 of 25 field goal attempts, including two 53-yard field goals, which were the second-longest field goals made in Auburn program history by a freshman. He also converted all 44 extra-point attempts (PATs), including going 9-for-9 in the 2018 Music City Bowl against Purdue. He further forced 51 touchbacks on 70 total kickoffs. On November 24, 2018, against in-state rival Alabama, he recorded his first and only career reception, a 3-yard catch on a fake field goal play. 2019 season In 2019, Carlson entered his redshirt sophomore season as an SEC Media Preseason All-SEC Second Team and SEC Coaches Preseason All-SEC Third Team placekicker. He earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Week honors after making all four of his field goal attempts – from 43 (twice), 44, and 52 yards – in Auburn’s 48-45 upset win over Alabama in the “Iron Bowl.” His 52-yard field goal attempt against Alabama tied his brother, Daniel, and Al Del Greco, for Auburn’s longest field goal ever in Iron Bowl history. His third PAT made against Arkansas set an NCAA record for consecutive successful PATs (303) by Auburn kickers; a streak started by former Auburn kicker, Cody Parkey, in 2013 and that spanned six seasons, 78 games, and five different Auburn kickers. He finished his 2019 campaign by making 18 out of 25 field goal attempts and 48 out of 49 PATs, as well as 47 touchbacks on 78 kickoffs. 2020 season In 2020, entering his redshirt junior season, Carlson was selected to the SEC Media Preseason All-SEC Third Team and the Phil Steele All-SEC Fourth Team. That season, he made 20 out of 22 field goal attempts, including a long of 50 yards, and 24 out of 25 PATs. He was twice selected to the Lou Groza “Star of the Week” list for his kicking efforts against Arkansas and Mississippi State. His 2020 season performance earned him Lou Groza Award (best placekicker in college football) semifinalist, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FBS Coaches’ All-America Second Team, Phil Steele All-America Honorable Mention, and Associated Press (AP) All-SEC First Team honors. 2021 season In 2021, as a redshirt senior, he made 14 of 21 field goal attempts with a long of 49 yards, as well as 35 of 36 PATs. On November 13, in Auburn’s game against Mississippi State, he suffered a season-ending torn ACL. Carlson’s career performance places him with the fifth-most points (275), third-most field goals made (53), and sixth-most PATs made (116) in Auburn program history. Carlson earned Special Teams MVP honors for Auburn’s 2018, 2019, and 2021 “A-Day” spring football games. Auburn's 2020 A-Day was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Personal life Carlson was born to parents, Jodie and Hans, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He has two brothers, Nils and Daniel. His brother, Daniel, is the placekicker for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL) and was also an All-American kicker at Auburn. In 2017, as a freshman at Auburn, he earned Academic Top Tiger and SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll recognition. In both 2018 and 2019, he earned AD Honor Roll honors. He earned SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition every year from 2018 to 2020. In both 2019 and 2020, he earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. In 2020, he graduated from Auburn with a degree in aviation from the university's College of Business. He is now pursuing his master's degree.

The Queer Art of Failure is a 2011 book of queer theory by Jack Halberstam. In it, Halberstam argues that failure can be a productive way of critiquing capitalism and heteronormativity. Using examples from popular culture, like Pixar animated films, Halberstam explores alternatives to individualism and conformity. Summary Introduction: Low Theory In the introduction, Halberstam proposes low theory as a way to deconstruct the normative modes of thought that have established uniform societal definitions of success and failure. Low theory is a concept Halberstam borrows from cultural theorist Stuart Hall. He uses it to undermine heteronormative definitions of success and to argue that the failure to live up to societal standards can open up more creative ways of thinking and existing in the world. Halberstam points out that queer and feminine success is always measured by male, heterosexual standards. The failure to live up to these standards, Halberstam argues, can offer unexpected pleasures such as freedom of expression and sexuality. Halberstam clarifies his points encouraging failure in a lecture called "On Behalf of Failure": "My basic point with failure is that in a world where success is countered in relationship to profit ... or relayed through heteronormative marriage, failure is not a bad place to start for a critique of both capitalism and heteronormativity." Halberstam describes low theory as a "utility of getting lost over finding our way." Halberstam asks the reader how to avoid those heteronormative definitions of success and being that relegate other forms of knowing to redundancy and irrelevancy. Halberstam provides several examples of publications, films and popular cultural artifacts in order to aid in explaining the concept of low theory. These include SpongeBob SquarePants, Monsters, Inc., Little Miss Sunshine, and the writings of Monique Wittig and Barbara Ehrenreich among others. Chapter One: Animating Revolt and Revolting Animation In the first chapter, Halberstam shows how a certain type of animated films teaches children about revolt. Halberstam says that animated films "revel in the domain of failure," and states that it is not enough for an animated film to focus on success and triumph because that is not what happens in childhood, following Kathryn Bond Stockton's "growing sideways" concept. Halberstam explains that Stockton has shown how childhood is queer in nature, but that society trains children to be heterosexual. Halberstam explains that revolt and rebellion are inherent in children, and if these traits were not, then society would have no reason to train them otherwise. According to Halberstam, animated films address the disorderly child who sees the large world beyond his controlling family. Halberstam names this subgenre of animated films "Pixarvolt", after the animation studio Pixar. Pixarvolts make subtle and obvious connections between communist revolt and queer embodiment, and get to the root of the struggle between human and non-human creatures. Halberstam argues that although Marxist scholars have dismissed queer theory as "body politics", these film successfully show "that alternative forms of embodiment and desire are central to the struggle against corporate domination." Pixarvols films are powered by revolution, transformation, and rebellion, and most Pixarvolt films deal with escape to utopian freedom. His examples include Toy Storyand Chicken Run. Halberstam then writes about how humans project our world onto animals, in terms of human exceptionalism, which he defines in two ways: humans thinking they are more superior and unique to other animals, and humans using cruel forms of anthropomorphism. Halberstam considers how committed humans are to failing structures, like marriage, and how drawing on animal behavior makes humans feel as though heterosexuality is more natural or primal. Halberstam shows how March of the Penguins, like other animal documentaries, humanizes animal life and reduces animals to human standards. The film perpetuates heterosexuality by failing to acknowledge that penguins are not monogamous or to consider that penguins are not subject to human expectations. Halberstam claims, "the long march of the penguins is proof neither of heterosexuality in nature nor of the reproductive imperative nor of intelligent design." Lastly, Halberstam talks about monstrous animations and their direct connection to the queer way of thinking. Animation creates things that are neither human nor animal. In Monsters, Inc., the corporate world relies on screams of children to power their society. This movie allows the child to stand up to their "boogeyman", and, at the same time, form an affectionate relationship with it. This bond is queer in that it lets the child control the transgression of its own boundaries. The main difference between Halberstam's "Pixarvolt" films and regular animated movies is that other films emphasize family, human individuality, and extraordinary individuals, while Pixarvolt films focus more on collectivity, social bonding, and diverse communities, showing the importance of recognizing strangeness of bodies, sexuality and gender. "Two thematics can transform a potential Pixarvolt film into a tame and conventional cartoon: an overemphasis on nuclear family and a normative investment in coupled romance." Chapter Two: Dude, Where's My Phallus? In the second chapter, Halberstam highlights things such as stupidity, forgetfulness, and how they have impacted views on queer culture. The second chapter illuminates how stupidity is viewed differently in men and women, and how it can sometimes even be a gateway for the queer culture. He uses certain movies and novels where stupidity and forgetfulness are joined to actually open the door for queer individuals. In order to establish this analysis, Halberstam defines stupidity: "Stupidity conventionally means different things in relation to different subject positions; for example, stupidity in white men can signify new modes of domination, but stupidity in women of all ethnicities inevitably symbolizes their status as, in psychoanalytic terms, "castrated" or impaired." Stupidity in women seems to be strictly looked down upon, while in men it can be seen as charming. Halberstam shows that the film Dude, Where's My Car? is able to portray situations that would normally be uncomfortable for heterosexual white males, because of the stupidity of the main characters, Jesse and Chester. Halberstam writes that interjecting the idea of forgetting into Jesse and Chester's characters causes a queer phenomenon throughout the film. Jesse willingly knew that he was receiving a lap dance from a transsexual, but forgets the social norms that would typically accompany that. The film brought light to the gay community using stupidity and forgetfulness as a staple. Queer culture was brought to light in this film when Jesse and Chester share their convincing kiss at the end in their car next to a heterosexual couple. The stupidity of Jesse and Chester was the gateway into the kiss. Halberstam writes that forgetting is important for queer people, who must social norms such as the heteronormative family in order to make way for equality. In Finding Nemo, Dory's forgetfulness brings about a queer version of selfhood, since it causes her to live in the present and forget about the past. Halberstam argues that forgetting opens up the doors for new things while suppressing negative memories, and notes the importance of forgetfulness in queer communities and how positive it can be. Chapter Six: Animating Failure: Ending, Fleeing, Surviving In the sixth chapter, Halberstam focuses more on the specific works of queer theory scholars, and examines works such as Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., and A Bug's Life. Halberstam begins by criticizing Slavoj Zizek's interpretation of Kung Fu Panda. Zizek compares the panda to George W. Bush, explaining that just like Bush, the panda rose to success because of the system, and that it was inherently tipped in his favor. Halberstam states that Kung Fu Panda "... joins new forms of animation to new conceptions of the human-animal divide to offer a very different political landscape than the one we inhabit, or at least the one Zizek imagines ..." Halberstam goes in-depth on the complexity of animation, specifically in A Bug's Life, where a new form of "crowd scenes" were introduced. Regarding stop-motion animation works Mr. Fox, Chicken Run, and Coraline, Halberstam explains how ideas of racism, entrapment, masculinity, political progression, remote control, and imprisonment are present. The use of stop-motion animation can help evoke different emotions as well. For example, in Chicken Run, the start-stop jerkiness allows the narrative to be even more humorous.

Thamnolia tundrae is a species of lichen in the family Icmadophilaceae. Its distribution covers the arctic tundra of Eurasia and extends to the North American Aleutian Islands. It was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Ioana Brännström and Leif Tibell. The type specimen was collected from Täljstensvalen mountain (Jämtland, Sweden). Its thallus features white, hollow, cylindrical tufts, which are morphologically the same as the other members of genus Thamnolia. Thamnolia tundrae, however, is phylogenetically distinct from these other similar species. Secondary compounds found in the lichen include baeomycesic acid and squamatic acid. The species is suspected to have survived the latest glaciation in coastal refugia in regions close to its current range.

The Lebanese-Syrian pound, officially called the "Syrian pound" until 1924, was a paper currency that was created on 31 March 1920 by Order No.129 of High Commissioner Gouraud to replace the Egyptian pound in the French Mandates in the Levant; the privilege of its issue was entrusted by this decree to the Bank of Syria and Lebanon (which was then called “Banque de Syria”), and its value fixed at 20 francs payable by check in Paris. It was issued in two series of banknotes of the same type from 1924 in the territories of the State of Greater Lebanon, the Druze State and the Syrian Federation, one of the two series bearing the name "Grand Lebanon", the other "Syria", as stipulated by an agreement concluded on January 23 of the same year between the representatives of these States and of this Federation and the representatives of the Bank of Syria. under the aegis of the High Commission of the French Republic and with the approval of the French Ministry of Finance, and which granted the exclusive privilege of issuing currency to the bank for fifteen years from the first of April. These two series were to circulate indifferently on the signatory territories without the amount of banknotes in circulation being able to exceed 25 million pounds.

The Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy is a Facebook policy that aims to limit the activity of "militarised groups" on the platform. In October 2021, a secret blacklist of "dangerous individuals and organizations" maintained by Facebook was discovered by The Intercept, which revealed censorship in the MENA region was stricter than in USA. Critics and scholars have argued the blacklist and the guideline stiffles free discussion, as well as enforcing an uneven enforcement of the rules. Other individuals covered have included Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones and his organization InfoWars, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, and Paul Nehlen. After notable partisan outcry, President Trump later tweets on the matter, decrying perceived targeted censorship against conservatives on social media platforms by private corporations. Facebook responds that the bans were not ideologically motivated. Examples of the policy's use Rania Khalek In 2021, an image Rania Khalek posted on Instagram of a billboard celebrating Iranian general Qassim Suleimani and Iraqi military commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was deleted by the company under the policy. Tommy Robinson In February 2019, Facebook and Instagram banned the British far right activist Tommy Robinson from their platforms citing violations of their hate speech rules including "calls for violence targeted at Muslims". Facebook subsequently placed him on its list of "Dangerous Individuals". QANon On August 19, Facebook expanded its Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy to address "growing movements that, while not directly organizing violence, have celebrated violent acts, shown that they have weapons and suggest they will use them, or have individual followers with patterns of violent behavior". As a result of this increased vigilance, Facebook reported having already "removed over 790 groups, 100 Pages and 1,500 ads tied to QAnon from Facebook, blocked over 300 hashtags across Facebook and Instagram, and additionally imposed restrictions on over 1,950 Groups and 440 Pages on Facebook and over 10,000 accounts on Instagram". In the month after its August announcement, Facebook said it deleted 1,500 QAnon groups; such groups by then had four million followers. On October 6, 2020, Facebook said it would immediately begin removing "any Facebook Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts representing QAnon, even if they contain no violent content". The company said it would immediately ban any group representing QAnon. Azov Batallion In 2019, under Facebook's Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy, support for the group was not allowed, although this was temporarily relaxed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Cameroon In October 2021, it was revealed that Facebook had labeled the Ambazonia Defence Forces a "violent non-state actor". Goebbels misattribution decision In October 2020, a Facebook user posted a quote incorrectly attributed to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, stating that appeals to emotion and instinct are more important than appeals to truth. The post contained no images or symbols. Facebook took down the post under its policy prohibiting the promotion of dangerous individuals and organizations, including Goebbels. The account user appealed, asserting that the post was intended as a commentary on Donald Trump. The board found that the evidence supported this assertion and held that post did not indicate support for Goebbels, and ordered that it be restored, with the recommendation that Facebook should indicate to users posting about such persons that "the user must make clear that they are not praising or supporting them".

Bile () is the only village in Snake Island, in the Vylkove hromada, part of the Izmail Raion in the Odessa Oblast, in Ukraine. Village Bile was founded in 2007 in Snake Island to serve Ukraine in a then ongoing dispute between this country and Romania regarding the territorial waters surrounding the island. This was criticized by Romania, which tried to prove that the village in Snake Island could not constitute a permanent settlement. The dispute ended in 2009 following mediation by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which ruled that Romania would get 80% of the disputed maritime area. This was accepted by both sides. The village of Bile only consists of a few houses of the Ukrainian soldiers stationed there, as well as a monument to 25 Russian sailors who died in 1905 during the Russo-Japanese War and a sign dedicated to Saint George, a Roman soldier and Christian saint. On 24 February 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Snake Island was attacked and virtually all the infrastructure on the village was destroyed. Furthermore, the thirteen Ukrainian border guards defending the island were captured as prisoners of war by the Russian forces.

The quaternion estimator algorithm (QUEST) is an algorithm designed to solve Wahba's problem, that consists of finding a rotation matrix between two coordinate systems from two sets of observations sampled in each system respectively. The key idea behind the algorithm is to find an expression of the loss function for the Wahba's problem as a quadratic form, using the Cayley–Hamilton theorem and the Newton–Raphson method to efficiently solve the eigenvalue problem and construct a numerically stable representation of the solution. The algorithm was introduced by Malcolm D. Shuster in 1981, while working at Computer Sciences Corporation. While being in principle less robust than other methods such as Davenport's q method or singular value decomposition, the algorithm is significantly faster and reliable in practical applications, and it is used for attitude determination problem in fields such as robotics and avionics. Formulation of the problem Wahba's problem consists of finding a rotation matrix that minimises the loss function where are the vector observations in the reference frame, are the vector observations in the body frame, is a rotation matrix between the two frames, and are a set of weights such that . It is possible to rewrite this as a maximisation problem of a gain function defined in such a way that the loss attains a minimum when is maximised. The gain can in turn be rewritten as where is known as the attitude profile matrix. In order to reduce the number of variables, the problem can be reformulated by parametrising the rotation as a unit quaternion with vector part and scalar part , representing the rotation of angle around an axis whose direction is described by the vector , subject to the unity constraint . It is now possible to express in terms of the quaternion parametrisation as where is the skew-symmetric matrix . Substituting with the quaternion representation and simplifying the resulting expression, the gain function can be written as a quadratic form in where the matrix is defined from the quantities This quadratic form can be optimised under the unity constraint by adding a Lagrange multiplier , obtaining an unconstrained gain function that attains a maximum when . This implies that the optimal rotation is parametrised by the quaternion that is the eigenvector associated to the largest eigenvalue of . Solution of the characteristic equation The optimal quaternion can be determined by solving the characteristic equation of and constructing the eigenvector for the largest eigenvalue. From the definition of , it is possible to rewrite as a system of two equations where is the Rodrigues vector. Substituting in the second equation with the first, it is possible to derive an expression of the characteristic equation . Since , it follows that and therefore for an optimal solution (when the loss is small). This permits to construct the optimal quaternion by replacing in the Rodrigues vector . The vector is however singular for . An alternative expression of the solution that does not involve the Rodrigues vector can be constructed using the Cayley–Hamilton theorem. The characteristic equation of a matrix is where The Cayley–Hamilton theorem states that any square matrix over a commutative ring satisfies its own characteristic equation, therefore allowing to write where and for this provides a new construction of the optimal vector that gives the quaternion representation of the optimal rotation as where . The value of can be determined as a numerical solution of the characteristic equation. Replacing inside the previously obtained characteristic equation . gives where whose root can be efficiently approximated with the Newton–Raphson method, taking 1 as initial guess of the solution in order to converge to the highest eigenvalue (using the fact, shown above, that when the quaternion is close to the optimal solution).

Beda Maria Stjernschantz (10 December 1867 — 28 May 1910) was one of the first Finnish symbolist painters, whose main creative period was during the 1890s' fin de siècle epoch. Beda Stjernschantz was born in Porvoo to ( Blidberg) and his second wife Alma Charlotta Sirén. Her father was a military officer and high ranking civil servant, who also held a seat in the Nobility Chamber of the Diet of Finland. The family was not particularly wealthy, however, which meant that Beda Stjernschantz had to largely support herself financially, including paying for her art studies. Stjernschantz studied first at the Drawing School of the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, from 1885 to 1889, and later privately under Gunnar Berndtson, from 1889 to 1891. She started out as a realist, but soon after her debut exhibition in 1891, and her subsequent visit to Paris the following year, began shifting increasingly towards symbolism. In her time, Stjernschantz was not very highly regarded and, despite her relatively privileged background, struggled throughout her career with financial problems and various external pressures, isolation, as well as artistic belittling; the resulting persistent 'melancholy' eventually lead her to take her own life in 1910, at the age of 42. Due to her early death, her artistic output remains relatively small. Stjernschantz's only known international exhibition took place in Paris, in 1900. Several of her works are now in the permanent collection of the Finnish National Gallery. Stjernschantz is today regarded as a pioneer of the symbolism movement in Finland, and one of the leading artists of her time.

The third regular session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, first part, took place in Paris, France, from 21 September to 12 December 1948. It was held at the Palais de Chaillot in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The permanent Headquarters of the United Nations did not yet exist, so the early regular and special sessions of the General Assembly were convened in various cities; this was the first one to be held in Continental Europe. The session was taking place but three years after the conclusion of World War II, a conflict so vast and impactful that it had convinced the United States and other nations to give collective security another try after the failures of the interwar period, and people were hopeful this time it would work. By 1948, the tensions of the early Cold War period were already becoming apparent. On Sunday, 19 September, two days before the opening of the session, church bells were rung and special services held in congregations of various faiths, in cities and towns across the United States, praying for the success of the General Assembly meetings. The same event was also done in parts of Canada. Such ceremonies were also held in both Western and Eastern Europe, including in Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, as well as other parts of the world. In many of the services, one particular prayer, written anonymously, was said, part of which read: Especially do we pray for the Assembly of the United Nations, opening in Paris. Give to men and women gathered there a sense of Thy providence and a knowledge that the good of all people must come before the good of any single person, race, or nation. Amen. In all there were 618 different meetings of the assembly and various committees at the Paris session. Initially there were negotiations over whether the Eastern Bloc would have adequate representation on the United Nations General Committee and other such UN bodies. The most important achievements of the Paris session were the ratifications of two foundational and essential documents, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The general assembly vote on the first was 48–0 with 8 absentions, and the vote on the second was 50–0 with 0 abstentions. Otherwise the Paris session was marked by disagreements between the West and the Eastern Bloc, with Andrey Vyshinsky, the head of the delegation from the Soviet Union, criticizing John Foster Dulles, the acting chair of the United States delegation. In the end, the Soviet Union expressed frustration that none of its own proposals had passed. The Paris session also addressed the situation on the Korean peninsula by declaring, via a 48–6 margin, the Republic of Korea to be the only legitimate government there. The third regular session of the General Assembly, second part, took place in New York City, United States, from 5 April to 18 May 1949. It was held at the New York City Building within Flushing Meadows Park in the borough of Queens. Many of the committee sessions were held just outside the city in the village of Lake Success. As a result, the location of this part is often given to be both Flushing Meadows Park and Lake Success. The most significant action of this part of the session was United Nations General Assembly Resolution 273, the admission of Israel to the United Nations. Otherwise the overall session ended on an inconclusive note, with several questions regarding the disposition of Italian colonies left for the next session. The president of the United Nations General Assembly for both parts of the third session was Herbert Vere Evatt of Australia.

The Union Signal (formerly, The Woman's Temperance Union, Our Union) is a defunct American newspaper, established in 1883 in Chicago, Illinois. Focused on temperance, it was the organ of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), at one time, the largest women's organization in the United States. Initially, a weekly 16-page illustrated newspaper, it shifted location (Evanston, Illinois) and publishing schedule (to bimonthly to monthly to quarterly) before it ceased publication in 2016. In 1880, Matilda Carse started The Signal. Three years later, it merged with another newspaper to become The Union Signal. The last edition of the WCTU's quarterly journal, titled The Union Signal, was published in 2015, the main focus of which was current research and information on drugs. Editors have included: Mary Bannister Willard (January 1883 - July 1885), Mary Allen West (July 1885 - 1892), Frances Willard (1892 - February 1898), Lillian M. N. Stevens (February 1898 - April 1914), Anna Adams Gordon (April 1914 - October 1926), Ella Boole (October 1926 - October 1933), Ida B. Wise Smith (October 1933 - ). Origin and history At the first National Convention of the WCTU, held at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1874, a committee was appointed to consider the establishment of a paper as the organ of the union. This committee consisted of Annie Turner Wittenmyer, Pennsylvania; Mrs. S. J. Steele, Wisconsin; Mrs. S. A. Gifford, Massachusetts; Mrs. E. E. Marcy, Illinois; Miss Emma Janes, California, and Mrs. Mary Coffin Johnson, New York. Being unable to formulate definite plans before the close of the convention, the committee was given full power to act. At the second annual convention, held at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1875, Mrs. E. E. Marcy, secretary of the Committee on Publication Interests, reported that, after overcoming the various hindrances incident to such an enterprise, the project of publishing an official organ had been inaugurated the previous June. The paper was called The Woman's Temperance Union, and six numbers had been issued up to the time of the convention. Wittenmyer, as chairman of the committee, was the active publisher, with Jennie Fowler Willing as editor and Johnson and Frances Willard as contributing editors. This report included resolutions drafted by the Committee on Publication Interests, one of which was as follows:— Whereas, The paper published by the National Temperance Union as its organ is one of the strongest bonds to hold together our interests in separate localities, devoted as it is to our work, Resolved, That we, as delegates, pledge ourselves a certain number of subscribers in our several states, and in case of failure, to raise money to cover the amount subscribed. It was recorded that "much discussion followed", and an amendment was adopted eliminating the financial responsibility on the part of the states, but there was a generous pledging of subscriptions, Maine leading off with a pledge of . Johnson became the publisher at this time, with Mary Towne Burt as her assistant, and, later, her successor. Willing continued as editor until the Newark Convention in 1876, when Margaret E. Winslow was elected editor, with Mrs. S. K. Bolton, Ohio; Mrs. Helen E. Brown, New York; Mary Torrans Lathrap, Michigan; Julia Colman, New York; Willing, Illinois; Johnson, New York, and Frances Willard, Illinois, as contributing editors. In 1877, the name of the paper was changed to Our Union, and at the fourth annual meeting held in Chicago, the publisher's report showed an indebtedness on the paper. Frances Willard then moved that the secretary proceed to call the roll of the states, and the delegates respond and pledge the number of subscribers they would become responsible for the ensuing year. Pledges totalling 12,957 were received, and enthusiasm prevailed. Among the recommendations for the year's work was one relating to Our Union which read: "Each state will be expected to pledge itself, through its delegates, for a specified number of copies. Our local unions have come up nobly to the rescue, but we expect a largely increased enthusiasm in the year to come." At the Convention of 1878, held in Baltimore, the Publishing Committee reported that the paper had come through the year free from debt and with a small balance in the treasury. This report, signed by Frances Willard, Jane M. Geddes, Caroline Brown Buell, and Esther Pugh, closed with the following exhortation:— "We feel that, in the interests of Our Union, we must urge this Convention to impress upon the local auxiliaries that they have one National official organ, and one only; since there are other papers prominently circulated and largely subscribed for by temperance women, which are by many supposed to be equally entitled to their patronage, which, as our experience proves, interfere greatly with the circulation of Our Union. Having laid before our sisters such phases of the paper as the year's experience has developed we ask them to consider, prayerfully and with all due deliberation, their duty to a paper which is endeared to us as to them by long and earnest labors on its behalf." In 1883, Our Union was consolidated with The Signal, a temperance paper owned and published in Chicago by the Woman's Temperance Publishing Association. The Signal had represented the WCTU's rapidly growing work in the west for a period of three years. Mary Bannister Willard was its editor, a position which she retained when the consolidation was effected. The Union Signal made its first appearance January 4, 1883. For twenty years thereafter, the organ was owned and published by the Woman's Temperance Publishing Association of Chicago, which association had full control of the paper financially, its editorial policy being, controlled by the National WCTU. On October 10, 1903, the paper was bought outright by the National WCTU and thereafter was edited and published at National Headquarters in Evanston. The thought and the hope of the early workers for this publication were hoped to inspire the women of future years. The keynote for that goal was sounded by Stevens, National President and editor-in-chief, at Los Angeles, California, 1905, when she said:— "I must insist that it is not too much to expect that each local union should maintain a subscription list equal in number to one fourth of its membership. Those unions which have reached this point are to be congratulated, not alone because they have conformed to this request, but because of the great uplift which must inevitably come to a local union and to a community through the liberal reading of The Union Signal." Name and motto Not only did the paper's name change after the merger, at least in one year, 1894, it dropped the word "The" from its masthead, to read Union Signal. The paper's motto changed numerous times: 1883: Official organ of the Woman's National Christian Temperance Union. 1889 and 1890: Official organ of the World's and National Woman's Christian Temperance Union 1893, 1895, and 1898: And World's White Ribbon. 1903: For God And Home and Every Land.
