Its phyllodes are somewhat crowded, narrowly oblong to linear, long, wide and rigid. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on a peduncle long, the pedicel long with narrowly oblong bracts long at the base. The sepals are long and joined at the base, the two upper lobes joined for most of their length and the lower three broadly triangular and about long. The standard petal is egg-shaped, about long and wide, and orange with dark red markings around a central yellow spot. The wings are about long and dark red, and the keel is about long and dark red. Flowering mostly occurs from August to early October and the fruit is a flattened triangular pod long.
Taxonomy and naming
Daviesia newbeyi was first formally described in 1991 by Michael Crisp in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected by Kenneth Newbey near Ravensthorpe in 1978. The specific epithet (newbeyi) honours the collector of the type specimens.
Distribution and habitat
This daviesia grows in heath and is known from a few disjunct populations, near Ravensthorpe, Lake Grace, Coolgardie and Esperance, in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic region of inland Western Australia.
Conservation status
Daviesia newbeyi is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.

In the Sultanate of Morocco, a Khalifa (, "deputy" or "steward"; sometimes translated as "viceroy") was a high-level official who reported directly to the Sultan. Specifically, in the Spanish protectorate in Morocco from 1912 to 1956, the Khalifa () represented the authority of the Sultan and was directly in charge of the affairs of the Muslim and Jewish communities, similarly as the Mendoub in the Tangier International Zone.
Etymology
The Khalifa's title is the same Arabic word as for the ancient title of Caliph.
Residence
The Palace of the Khalifa in Tétouan is preserved within what is now the Royal Palace of Tétouan, where it is adjacent to the former residence of the Spanish High Commissioners. It is not open to the public.
Another property of the Khalifa, a hilltop villa in Tétouan's northern neighborhood of Touilaa, was in a dilapidated state but still standing as of 2021.

Would I Lie to You? Australia (informally abbreviated as WILTY; also known as Would I Lie to You?) is a Australian comedy panel game show based on the British game show of the same name. It premiered on Network 10 on 28 February 2022.
Format
Rounds
In all rounds, the scoring system is the same: teams gain a point for correctly guessing whether a statement is true or not, but if they guess incorrectly the opposing team gets a point. Some questions are edited out during post-production, however the scores are re-recorded to reflect only the questions which had made the edit and not the whole recording.
Current rounds
"Home Truths": Guest panellists read out a statement from a card about themselves. The opposing team has to decide whether it is true or false by asking the panellist questions.
"This is My...": A guest comes onto the set and is introduced by first name, but remains standing in silence as the round continues. Panellists on one team tell the opposing team about their relationship to the guest; only one account out of three told is genuine, and the opposing team has to work out which it is. At the end of the round, the guest reveals their true identity, and which of the panellists they have a genuine relationship with.
"Possession": a panellist takes an item out of a box and reads a statement from a card, and has to convince the opposing team that the possession genuinely belongs to them.
"Quick-Fire Lies": A panellist is chosen at random, and reads a statement about themselves from a card. This is identical to "Home Truths" in practice, except that the team captains may also read from a card.
Cast
The show is hosted by television and radio personality Chrissie Swan, with comedians Chris Taylor and Frank Woodley as regular team captains.
Guests

The coloured backgrounds denote the result of each of the shows or series:

William "Bill" Henry Christian was a American Brevet Brigadier General who served the American Civil War who commanded the 26th New York Infantry Regiment that took part in the Battle of Antietam before resigning two days later after the battle due to being unnerved during the battle.
Biography
Early Military Career
William was born on April 9, 1825, in Utica, New York. He initially entered military service as a member of the 1st New York Volunteers for the Mexican–American War He spent his first two months of training at Governor's Island before being transferred to San Francisco but saw no active military service during the war although seemed worthy enough to be promoted to First Sergeant by the end of the war. After the war, he stayed in California due to the California Gold Rush occurring and became a teacher before returning to New York in 1856 as he became a city surveyor for Utica. He then renewed his service in the New York Militia in the years prior to the American Civil War as a drillmaster.
American Civil War
When the American Civil War broke out, Christian traveled to Albany where he personally asked Governor Edwin D. Morgan for permission to raise a regiment of volunteers and Morgan saw Christian to be the ideal person to rally troops from Utica as he was a veteran of the Mexican–American War and granted Christian permission to do so and in a few weeks, managed to rally over 1,000 Men needed to form the 26th New York Infantry Regiment and was appointed as first commander on May 21, 1861. Christian was described as being a strict disciplinarian but proved the be beneficial as the soldiers were now well-drilled. Another differing aspect of Christian's training was the prohibition of the consumption of alcohol and insisted that his officers sign a temperance pledge. His training was described as having “military skill and energy,” having “the best-drilled volunteer regiment,” and “energy and firmness.
After arriving on Washington, D.C. on April 22, 1861, the 26th New York settled at Meridian Hill before experiencing their first battle at the First Battle of Bull Run although their only service was covering the retreating Union soldiers although was notable enough to receive direct praise from Abraham Lincoln himself.
After the First Battle of Bull Run, Christian and the 26th New York wouldn't see any military service for 6 months before being assigned as a part of the new Army of the Potomac and being a part of Henry Warner Slocum's brigade and soon took the 26th New York to a new camp in Alexandria, Virginia. Christian finally saw his first instance of active military service when him and along with 350 men, were stationed at Pohick Church on October 21, 1861, to capture Confederate cavalry operating there but proved to be a disaster as his targets escaped unharmed, his soldiers proceeding to pillage Alexandria along with one of his men accidentally killing another.
After the disaster, Christian was supposed be faced in the Court of Inquiry but due to the case being dropped, General Slocum transferred Christian and the 26th to Fort Lyon. During this time, he married Mary Timmerman on November 6, 1861, and both remained on the fort until May 1862 until when new orders arrived that the 26th New York would be transferred to Irvin McDowell's III Corps of the new Army of Virginia of John Pope. The 26th New York was then sent to camps near Falmouth and then Manassas and would stay there until the end of August where they joined the rest of Pope's army which located Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
The 26th New York would then participate at the Second Battle of Bull Run as a member of the 2nd Brigade of James B. Ricketts's 2nd Division. However, when the 26th began to hold the line at Chinn Ridge, Christian was notably absent during the engagement. This was because when Longstreet's Command came to begin a assault on the line, he found Christian lying under a tree and wrapped in a blanket, being attended to by Surgeon Dr. Coventry as Christian had apparently suffered heatstroke and a case of poison ivy on his hands although he made a miraculous recovery and then went to take the place of Zealous Bates Tower as Brigadier as Tower was wounded and the brigade made their way back to Centreville, Virginia. His soldiers however were unimpressed by Christian's actions and held a secret meeting to whether to report Christian to his superior, Ricketts but the final result was against performing such an act.
Battle of Antietam
Christian then participated in the Battle of South Mountain and the Battle of Chantilly and although Christian was competent at both at those engagements, he only played a supporting role in the battles. Later on, Christian and his brigade marched across Antietam Creek and commenced a skirmish with the Confederate lines although the tension of the battle began to affect Christian's mental state due to the tension of uncertainty. During the early morning hours, Christian's brigade was to support Duryée's and Hartsuff’s brigades in the opening attack with Christian's Brigade having to deal with the direct Confederate artillery while at the North Woods but after intense artillery, Christian himself ran into the safety of the East Woods by himself and leaving the rest of his men leaderless.
While the situation was going bad for Duryée and Hartsuff, Christian decided that now would be a good time to run the men through the manual of arms but as he was doing this, Confederate Artillery from Nicodemus Heights and the Dunker Church and the artillery strikes were sending sharp chunks of wood in the air as well as knocking down entire trees. As a attempt to escape the perilous situation, Christian ordered his men to retreat. While doing so, Richard Coulter reportedly told Christian: "For God’s sake, come and help us out, our ammunition is exhausted!" and Coulter ran back to the cornfields but Christian didn't follow and stood still on the spot where he encountered Coulter.
Soon enough, Christian snapped and he fled from the scene with his horse as Christian abandoned his brigade and Coulter's men to their own fates as he proclaimed that the battle was lost. As he fled, his men could do nothing but watch, confused and left the brigade in a nearly complete leadership vacuum as they did nothing, wanting things to sort themselves out. Matters got so bad that Colonel Peter Lyle had to assume command of Christian's remaining men as well as the 90th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment and the rest of the men would go on to redeem themselves for the rest of the battle. As for Christian himself, he was spotted shaking under a tree behind the lines by Brig. Gen. Truman Seymour. That evening, Ricketts himself called Christian to his headquarters and demanded he resign or face a court-martial and Christian chose to resign claiming that “business of importance” required him to return to Utica and he did so two days later.
Post-War Life
When he got home, Christian lied about why he departed as he told everyone that he left by intrigue among some of his fellow officers but the truth eventually caught up to him in both talk and his own mind. After the disaster, Christian actively sought to regain any chance of military commands, even proposing at one point to serve without pay but to no avail. On December 8, 1868, President Andrew Johnson nominated Christian a posthumous promotion to brevet brigadier general.
His actions during the American Civil War made Christian haunted and made him gain Post-traumatic stress disorder, deteriorating his mental state, affecting his family and no longer allowed to work as a surveyor and civil engineer. A instance of his worsening mental health as one time, Christian was seen placing a saddle over the banister of his front porch, mounting it, and delivering orders to a nonexistent group of soldiers. Veterans of the 26th were kind enough to invite Christian to reunions but sometimes, Christian would erupt into uncontrolled fits of laughter.
By early 1886, his wife had enough of Christian and sent him to the New York State Lunatic Asylum at Utica where he spent his final days there as a patient before passing away on May 8, 1887, and was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Utica. After the death of William, Mary applied for a pension, claiming that her husband's demise was caused by his supposed wartime heatstroke with the support from members of the 26th but the claim was denied, likely due to William's actions.

The Ukravtodor or The State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine () is the agency within the Ministry of Infrastructure that oversees the Road signs in Ukraine.
History
The state agency Ukravtodor was established as a state corporation in 1990, replacing the Ministry of Roadways of Soviet Ukraine as the state governing body of automobile roads in modern Ukraine. It is supplemented by a project institute Ukrhiprodor which designs objects of road management. Ukravtodor is supervised by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine. On February 28, 2002, by the Presidential order the state owned open stock company Avtomobilni dorohy Ukrainy (ADU) was created. The company was directly involved in road construction and maintenance. In 2016 ADU was merged into Ukravtodor, with the latter now owning 100% of its shares.
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the agency requested citizens to remove traffic signs to confuse Russian troops. They also used Google Maps to update citizens on the locations of Russian Ground Forces.

The Fragmentary Troia Chronicle () is a short, anonymous Latin history of the south Italian city of Troia and the bishops of Troia in the 11th and 12th centuries. The text as it has come down is fragmentary and incomplete. It is a hybrid text, containing annals, a short hagiographical section and partial copies of charters. Due to the poor transmission of the text, its authenticity and reliability have been questioned.
Transmission
There is no surviving manuscript of the Chronicle. It contains numerous copying errors and other signs of its complicated transmission and possible editing. The earliest copy is the edition included by Alessio Aurelio Pelliccia in his De Christianae Ecclesiae primae, mediae et novissimae aetatis Politia, printed in 1779 and again in 1782. This edition was based on a parchment codex copied by Giovanni Francesco Rossi in the 16th century and given to Pelliccia by his friend Lodovico Vuolo along with a trove of old documents. Rossi was also the source of the only known manuscript copy of the Annales of Lupus Protospatharius, also now lost. According to Pelliccia, the Chronicle was a mere "fragment" in the copy he received. The text as it stands is incomplete and disorganized.
The Latin Chronicle is generally assumed to have been written in the late 12th century. It was used by Biondo Flavio in the 15th century and Marino Freccia in the 16th, and through them was a source for Ferdinando Ughelli's Italia Sacra in the 17th century. It is very closely related to the Ristretto dell'Istoria della città di Troja e sua Diocesi dall'origine delle medesime al 1584, written by Pietrantonio Rosso di Manfredonia between 1584 and 1592. It is possible that Pietrantonio used Rossi's copy of the Chronicle as a source or that the two texts have a common source. The Ristretto dell'Istoria may contain information from a fuller or complete version of the Chronicle, but no reconstruction has yet been attempted.
Structure
The Chronicle contains three sections that are not coherently melded. It is a hybrid text, combining genres, but not coherently in its current state. A portion of the text is hagiographical, while much of the rest has the appearance of a barebones gesta episcoporum ('deeds of bishops'). The collection of a total of twelve charters, however, could not have served as a functional cartulary, because the authenticating parts of the charters are left off.
The first section is a series of annalistic records of political and religious events in the city of Troia and its diocese between 1014 and 1127. Its coverage, however, is sporadic. It has entries dated to the years 1014, 1081, 1093, 1097, 1101, 1105, 1114, 1115, 1116, 1118, 1119, 1122 and 1124, although the last entry in fact pertains to 1127. It also contains entries without years and dated only to a specific bishop's tenure. Between the entries for 1101 and 1114, that for 1105 is an interlude under the subheading De corporibus sanctis ('Concerning Holy Bodies'). It describes the translation of the relics of Bishop Eleutherius, the confessor Anastasius and Pope Pontianus to Troia in that year. One of its sources appears to be the 12th-century In translatione sanctorum martirum Euletherii, Pontiani atque confessoris Anastasii by the Troian precentor Roffred.
The second section breaks from the annalistic form of the first and appears to be quite fragmentary. It contains two subheadings, Dedicatio Ecclesiae S. Vincentii de Troya ('Dedication of the Church of St Vincent of Troia') and Corrigia Troyana. Each subsection contains a summary of a document, followed by information drawn from an annalistic source. The first document is dated to 1169 and is followed by references to 1170 and 1190. The second document is dated to 1182 and is followed by a reference to 1187.
The third section contains ten privileges issued to the diocese of Troia between 1066 and sometime after 1231, when the Emperor Frederick II introduced the augustalis. They could not have become appended to the first two sections of the Chronicle earlier than the 13th century. They are not complete copies, but abbreviated. They are not presented in chronological order and no principle of selection is apparent. All but one of these documents can also be found in Vincenzo Aceto di San Severo's two-volume manuscript Troia Sagra from 1728. All but two are accepted as authentic by the critical editor of Troia's charters, .
Reliability and potential
The Chronicle shares a poor manuscript tradition with the other 11th- and 12th-century chronicles from Apulia. Both the Annales of Lupus Protospatharius and the Annales Barenses survive in nothing earlier than 15th-century manuscripts, while the earliest copy of the Anonymi Barensis Chronicon is a printed edition from 1643. All three Bariot annals are accepted as authentic medieval texts. Noting that some of its material can be corroborated with other sources, Vera von Falkenhausen concludes that "the Chronicle of Troia is more reliable than its reputation" (die Chronik von Troia zuverlässiger is als ihr Ruf). According to Paul Oldfield, "while we cannot ... ascertain when certain parts of the [Chronicle] were first compiled, the current evidence suggests that we can tentatively proceed on the basis that the [its] information does contain some reliability in the annalistic section ... offset by inaccuracies particularly linked to the transmission of the text."
The Chronicle contains some information not found in other sources:
The birth name of the daughter of Robert Guiscard who was married to Constantine Doukas is found in only one other source. She was born Olympias and re-named Helena upon her betrothal. Her name is recorded under the year 1081, when her father invaded Byzantium.
The individuals who discovered the relics of Eleutherius, Anastasius and Pontianus are named Perisentia, Gaio and Aurelio, based on an inscription. Neither the inscription nor these individuals are mentioned in Roffred's account.
No other source records the conflict in 1115 between Bishop William II of Troia and William of Hauteville, who is said to have been attacking pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. There is a charter from 1120 that demonstrates the strained relationship between the two Williams.
The record of the journey of Duke William II of Apulia to the court of the Byzantine Empire in 1116, found nowhere else, is implausible.
Various biographical details of the bishops of Troia are found nowhere else. Some can be corroborated from charters. Less trustworthy are the claim that all the bishops from 1041 on were consecrated by the pope and the supposed dates of their consecration.
Since the Chronicle can be shown to have been in circulation in something like its present form by the late 16th century, in a few cases it presents the earliest form of various charters otherwise known only from the Aceto collection.

Merv Benton (born Mervyn Bonson, 12 August 1942) was an Australian pop singer from the mid-1960s. His most popular singles were "Baby Let's Play House" (1964), "I Got Burned", "Yield Not to Temptation", "Don't Destroy Me" (all in 1965) and "You've Got What it Takes" (1966). For the 1966 Go-Set pop poll he was listed third most popular male vocalist. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described him as, "the epitome of the good-looking, clean-cut pop idol." Late in 1966 Benton was diagnosed with laryngeal polyps, the resulting treatment and recovery curtailed his music career. He became a real estate agent, and later organised the building of child care centres both in Queensland (until 1990) and in Phoenix, Arizona after relocating there in 1991.
Biography
Merv Benton was born as Mervyn Bonson on 12 August 1942, in Melbourne. He grew up with his parents Edward Bonson, a manufacturer and Rae Bonson ( Hadlow) and a sibling. Benton attended Preston High School and left to work as a trainee bank clerk. He took weekly singing lessons from Melbourne-based vocal teacher, Jack White.
Benton started his singing career in October 1960 after a friend, Graeme Howie, entered him into a local talent quest. Upon winning with his rendition of "Don't Leave Me This Way" he met artist manager and promoter, Brian de Courcy. De Courcy introduced Benton to instrumental pop group, the Ramrods, which were led by Ian B Allen. Benton's early performances with the Ramrods were at Whittlesea Hall and Preston Migrant Centre. He also sang in front of the Chessmen (see Johnny Chester) and the Strangers.
Early in 1964, while still working at the bank, Benton completed demo recordings with Chester producing for W&G Records. Session musicians were Mick Lynch on drums, Frank McMahon on bass guitar, Albert Stacpool on keyboards and his brother Les Stacpool on lead guitar (all members of the Chessmen). Also observing was local radio personality, Stan Rofe. From the sessions, W&G issued Benton's first single, his rendition of "Baby Let's Play House" in March 1964, also covered by Elvis Presley in 1955. Scarth Flett of The Australian Women's Weekly described Benton, "slim 5ft. 9½in., with brown hair and brown eyes, Merv is a newcomer to show business." With Rofe's promotion, the single was popular on Melbourne radio, where it reached No. 17 on the local charts. In June Benton, backed by the Strangers, issued "Nervous Breakdown", previously released by Eddie Cochran. He followed with a four-track extended play (EP), Merv Benton (September 1964) and a full-length studio album, Come on and Get Me (1964). By November of that year the artist had appeared on TV shows, Sing, Sing, Sing (four times) and In Melbourne Tonight (twice).
His sixth single, "I Got Burned" (May 1965), peaked at No. 13 in Melbourne and also charted in Adelaide and Brisbane. It is a cover of Ral Donner's 1963 single. For the recording he was backed by the Tamlas, which comprised former band-mate Allen on bass guitar (ex-the Ramrods, the Planets) with Eddie Chappell on drums (ex-Checkmates), Charlie Gauld on guitar (ex-the Thunderbirds) and Noel Watson on guitar (ex-Tridents). According to David Kent's back-dated Australian Chart Book 1940–1969 it reached No. 18, nationally. Soon after the Tamlas line-up was Chappell, Les Stacpool, Ron Gilbey on guitar and Dennis Tucker on bass guitar (ex-Rondells). Other popular 1965 singles were "Yield Not to Temptation" (August) (original by Bobby Bland, 1962) and "Don't Destroy Me" (October).
Benton's 11th single, "You've Got What It Takes", appeared in February 1966 and was popular in Melbourne. The singer started having, "a nagging throat problem." By August he was diagnosed with laryngeal polyps, which were surgically removed with his subsequent recovery expected to take over six months. In October of that year he was listed third most popular male vocalist on national teen pop newspaper, Go-Set pop poll. According to a contemporary newspaper, "[he] was advised to rest his voice for two months, but didn't because he 'didn't want to disappoint his fans'." De Courcy announced Benton's retirement in November 1966. The Canberra Times Garry Raffaele reviewed Benton's compilation album, The Best of Merv Benton (1966) in December. Raffaele observed, "If [his] throat has in fact given up, I doubt if the musical world will grieve over much... I would willingly let him slip back into the Limbo which has claimed so many Australian rock singers." Despite Benton's infirmity W&G Records continued to release his singles into 1967.
Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, observed Benton was "the epitome of the good-looking, clean-cut pop idol." His vocal problems persisted for about 18 months – "[he] never returned to full-time singing" – to resume working for a bank's public relations department. Benton relocated to Queensland in 1969 and became a real estate agent. Prior to relocating he had entered a Melbourne recording studio, backed by the Fendermen. Benton issued a country music album, Great Country Songs, in 1970 on W&G Records. Michael Foster of The Canberra Times, noticed, "[he] has the roughness o£ tone which marks Johnny Cash and the same sincerity of approach."
Former bandmate, Allen convinced Benton to record three vocal tracks for a five-track EP, Merv Benton with the Allstars (1986). The Allstars comprised Allen on bass guitar, Les Stacpool on guitar, Henry Bource on saxophone, Ron Chapman on drums and Murray Robertson on keyboards. As a real estate agent he began to manage the building of child care centres. Benton migrated to the United States in 1991, he settled near Phoenix, Arizona and worked as consultant-manager of an American child care centre chain. As from 2003 Benton is married with four children.

She was also the Second Lady of Brazil from 1906 until the death of Affonso Penna in 1909, and the first lady of the state of Rio de Janeiro for two periods, between 1903 and 1906 and between 1914 and 1917.
Biography
Family and early years
Anna, whose nickname was Anita, was born on 21 March 1876 in a Brazilian aristocratic family, in Campos dos Goytacazes.
His father, lawyer João Belizário Soares de Sousa, he was cousin of viscount of Uruguay and son of Bernardo Belizário Soares de Sousa, counselor of the Empire. His mother, D. Anna Rachel Netto Ribeiro de Castro, was the daughter of José Ribeiro de Castro, Viscount of Santa Rita, being, therefore, paternal granddaughter of the first Baron of Santa Rita and mother of the Baron and Viscountess of Muriaé.
Marriage and children
On December 6, 1895, at the Church of São João Batista da Lagoa, in Rio de Janeiro, Anita married Nilo Procópio Peçanha, at the hands of Father Pelinca, former vicar of the parish of São Salvador de Campos dos Goytacazes. The honeymoon was at the White Hotel, in Alto da Boa Vista. The marriage was a social scandal, as she left her paternal house to live with an aunt and, thus, be able to marry Nilo Peçanha, a poor guy and mulatto, although promising politician. Anita and Nilo had four children: Iris, Nilo, Zulma and Mário Nilo, but they all died after birth.
There were many social reprisals suffered by the couple, the Baroness of Monte de Cedro (Francisca Antonia Ribeiro de Castro Carneiro da Silva) cut ties with her cousin and best friend, being followed by the Viscountess of Quissamã (Anna Francisca Ribeiro de Castro Carneiro da Silva) and by the Countess of Araruama (Rachel Francisca de Castro Netto Carneiro da Silva).
On one occasion when Anita was staying at Fazenda Bertioga, a mountain region in Macaé, owned by her cousin Julia Nogueira da Gama e Gavinho, she was delighted with the talent of the camp cook Luís Cipriano Gomes, enticing her relative's servant, taking him to Rio de Janeiro. Cipriano served the Peçanha couple at Palácio do Catete, being the maternal grandfather of Angenor de Oliveira, the famous Cartola.
First Lady of Brazil
Anita became First Lady of Brazil with the inauguration of Nilo Peçanha as President of the Republic on June 14, 1909, who, as vice-president, took over due to the death of President Affonso Penna caused by a pneumonia.
She was an active, participative woman, attentive to the obligations that the social and political world proposed to her, having been an unconditional companion, in addition to guaranteeing the success of Nilo Peçanha's political career.
As First Lady, Anita and her husband spent a single summer at the Rio Negro Palace, for fifty days between December 1909 and January 1910. President of Brazil, was due to an illness that affected the First Lady.
The Tribuna de Petrópolis reported the fact in the column "Echoes and Facts":
On March 7, 1910, Nilo and Anita Peçanha received representatives of the diplomatic corps who lived in the Rio de Janeiro mountains of Petrópolis at the Palace.
On April 2 of the same year, the Peçanha couple received about three hundred guests in the halls of the Rio Negro Palace, as a result of a party in honor of Petropolitan society, among which were Ministers of State, members of the diplomatic corps and important families. The Fire Brigade band and the National Mariners orchestra played at the social event promoted by the President and First Lady of Brazil.
Death
Anita outlived her late husband thirty-six years, dying on 9 April 1960, at the age of eighty-four.

El Jagüel is a city in Esteban Echeverría Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It was founded on 23 September 1951.
Geography
Location
El Jagüel is located on both sides of Provincial Route 205. It borders the Ezeiza Partido, and the towns of Monte Grande and Canning.
It is crossed by the Arroyo Ortega. The area is made up mostly of workers and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. The commercial developments are located in the central streets, next to Route 205 and on the main street of the city (called "Evita"), which extends from the eponymous railway station to Avenida Pedro Dreyer, which in turn joins the Provincial Routes 4, 52 and 58.
Barrios
History
El Jagüel was formed from the division and urbanization of land carried out by a real estate company in the 1950s. At that time, the place was an open field, with little presence of houses. In 1954, several inhabitants settled who acquired plots in the area, and built their homes with minimal comfort. There were no schools, there was no lighting, and they depended on the Monte Grande and Ezeiza train stations, the closest ones. The neighborhood was electrified in 1957, and a short time later the railway station corresponding to the Constitución-Ezeiza branch of the Roca Line was created, facilitating population growth and economic progress.

Joannes Anagninus (Giovanni dei Conti di Anagni) (died 1196) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He was a native of Anagni, and belonged to the family of the Counts of Anagni, the same family which produced Pope Innocent III. His colleagues called him, and he called himself "Joannes Anagninus". In 1191, he subscribed himself Joannes comes Anagninus, episcopus cardinalis Praenestinus. He was successively cardinal deacon of S. Maria in Portico, cardinal priest of S. Marco, and cardinal bishop of Palestrina.
Schism
In the letter of the cardinals to the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in October 1159, he is named as Jo(annes), a cardinal deacon, indicating that he was already a cardinal under Pope Adrian IV. Pope Adrian died on 1 September 1159, and the election of his successor produced a schism between the canonically elected Cardinal Rolando Bandinelli, the papal chancellor, who became Pope Alexander III on 7 September, and the minority candidate of the imperialist faction, Cardinal Ottaviano de'Monticelli, who took the name Victor IV. Victor had the support of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, at whose election he was present and whose friend he had become. Alexander was driven out of Rome by the leaders of the republican commune, the Roman nobility, and the lower clergy of Rome, backed by troops of the emperor, led by Count Palatine Otto von Wittelsbach, the imperial legate at the papal court.
Cardinal Joannes vigorously supported Alexander III in the schism. He was already at work at Piacenza in early February, when he was summoned to give testimony to the council called by the emperor and his antipope, a summons he ignored. On 28 March, he excommunicated Lodiocus, who was in Castello Baradello at Como. Fortunately, the antipope Victor died on 20 April 1164 at Lucca.
From 1162 to August 1165, Pope Alexander was in France.
Cardinal Joannes was promoted cardinal priest by Alexander III, at some point between July 1163 and 1164, and was assigned the titular church of San Marco. In 1164, probably, Pope Alexander sent an embassy to the Balkans, headed by Cardinal Giovanni Conti da Anagni of S. Marco, and including the subdeacons, Theodinus and Vitellius. Both subdeacons later became cardinals, as Pope Alexander's letter indicates. They were well-treated by Bishop Lazarus of Arbania. The purpose of their mission is not specified, but it undoubtedly included the continuing schism.
Lucius III
In the spring of 1183, Cardinal Joannes of S. Marco, along with Bishop Petrus of Luni, was appointed to a legation to the Emperor. The purpose of their mission, at the emperor's request, was to regularize the status of clerics who had been degraded and deposed by Pope Alexander at the council of Venice in 1177. His latest subscription at the papal court was on 17 November 1182, and he was in Constance on 30 June 1183, where the emperor held a solemn assembly. At the completion of their mission, the cardinal and bishop visited Cologne. Cardinal Joannes had returned to the papal court at Anagni by 1 November 1183, where he subscribed a bull. He also subscribed a bull at Anagni on 15 December 1183.
Cardinal Joannes died in 1196.

Bryan Vincent Draper (1916 – 28 February 1945) was a British flying ace of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) during the Second World War. He was credited with at least six aerial victories.
From Barry in South Wales, Draper joined the RAFVR in 1938. Called up for service on the outbreak of the Second World War, he was posted to No. 74 Squadron in early 1940 and flew in the Battle of France and the subsequent Battle of Britain during which he destroyed a number of aircraft. He performed instructing duties for much of the remainder of the war but returned to operational duty with a posting in January 1945 to No. 45 Squadron, serving in India. He was killed on 28 February 1945 when his de Havilland Mosquito broke up in midair.
Early life
Born in Barry, South Wales in early 1916, Bryan Vincent Draper was the son of John and Nellie Draper. He joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in April 1938. Late the following year, he gained his pilot's wings.
Second World War
As a serving member of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, Draper was called up for service soon after the outbreak of the Second World War. He was commissioned as a probationary pilot officer on 10 December 1939 in the General Duties Branch After a period of training at St. Athan, learning to fly the Supermarine Spitfire fighter, he was posted to No. 74 Squadron, based at Rochford, in February 1940. He saw little action until his unit provided cover during Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk. On 24 May, he was one of several pilots who combined to destroy a Dornier Do 17 medium bomber near Calais. A few days later he and another pilot in his section damaged a Heinkel He 111 medium bomber.
Battle of Britain
Following the conclusion of Operation Dynamo, the squadron flew in the Battle of Britain. On 10 July Draper damaged a Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter and then a Do 17 in a separate sortie later in the day. The squadron shifted to No. 12 Group in mid-August, operating from Wittering in Cambridgeshire but shifted to Coltishall the next month and was heavily engaged in intercepting the Luftwaffe'''s bombing raids on London. On 14 September, after an unsuccessful engagement with a Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter, he shot down a Junkers Ju 88 medium bomber near Yarmouth 20 minutes later. At the end of the month he reported engaging another Ju 88 over the English Channel, scoring several hits on the bomber.
In October, No. 74 Squadron began operating from the RAF station at Biggin Hill in Kent. On the 17th of that month, during an encounter over Gravesend, he shot down a Bf 109, the pilot of which was made a prisoner of war, and had another of the same type reported as probably destroyed. Three days later he probably destroyed a further Bf 109 near Maidstone. He had to crash land near Sevenoaks as a result of the encounter, his Spitfire having received gunfire to its engine during the dogfight over south London. On 14 November, when he and his section intercepted a formation of Junkers Ju 87 dive bombers over Deal, he shot down three of them. He also reported damaging a Bf 109. The next day, he destroyed another Bf 109 over Littlehampton.
In December, Draper, having been promoted to flying officer, was posted to RAF Upavon to attend an instructing course at the Central Flying School there. The same month, his award of the Distinguished Flying Cross was announced. The citation, published in The London Gazette'', read:
Far East
Once his training course was completed, Draper performed instructing duties at the Royal Air Force College near Cranwell. Promoted to flight lieutenant in March 1942, he then spent a period of time in Canada, also as an instructor. He returned to England in December 1943 and went on a conversion course to learn how to fly the de Havilland Mosquito twin-engined fighter-bomber. At the start of 1945, he returned to operational duty, with a posting to No. 45 Squadron, at the time based in India. His new unit was tasked with carrying out ground attack missions on Japanese facilities during the campaign in Burma. While flying one such mission, on 28 February 1945, his aircraft broke up in midair and he and his navigator were killed.
Survived by his wife, at the time of his death, Draper held the rank of squadron leader and was credited with having shot down six aircraft, with a share in another aircraft destroyed. He is also credited with two aircraft probably destroyed and three more damaged. He is buried at Taukkyan War Cemetery in Rangoon, Myanmar.

Valdimar Ásmundsson (Jóhann Valdimar Ásmundsson, also Ásmundarson) (10 July 1852 - 17 April 1902) was the founder and editor of Fjallkonan (The Lady of the Mountain magazine). Valdimar was married to Bríet Bjarnhéðinsdóttir, a feminist and publisher of Kvennablaðið.
Valdimar was born at Hvarf in Bárðardalur and grew up with his parents in Þistilfjörður. He was not sent to school but studied on his own. Between the ages of twenty and thirty, he went to Reykjavík and was involved in popular education for a while until he founded the magazine Fjallkonuna in 1884. His other main job was to prepare the Icelandic sagas for printing by the publisher Sigurður Kristjánsson.
Valdimar knew German, English and French as well as Danish, but he had mostly learned all these languages himself. He was also very good at Icelandic. He wrote a book on Icelandic grammar, which soon became a widely used textbook.
Ásmundsson translated Powers of Darkness (Swedish: Mörkrets Makter) by Bram Stoker from the Swedish serialization in Aftonbladets Halfvecko-Upplaga. His Icelandic translation was published under the title Makt Myrkranna, first for Fjallkonan in 1900, later in book form in 1901. Halldór Laxness reflects on the significance of this translation in one of his memoirs.
Valdimar died after almost 24 hours of stroke or brain disease at the age of almost fifty.

Noor is an Africanfuturist novel by Nigerian American author Nnedi Okorafor. The novel was published in November 2021 by DAW Books. Noor is the fourth adult novel written by Okorafor.
Plot
Noor is about a young disabled Igbo woman named Anwuli Okwudili who goes by the codename AO which means Artificial Organism who lives in a futuristic Nigeria, where advanced technology has enabled her to upgrade unformed or weakened body parts with cybernetic prosthetics created by the megacorporation Ultimate Corp. AO lives as a mechanic in the capital city of Abuja. To the north, a great sandstorm blows perpetually. After being attacked in a marketplace, AO fights back and ends up killing several men. Wanted for murder, she flees and encounters a Fulani herdsman named Dangote Nuhu Adamu, who goes by the name "DNA". Because he is also wanted for murder, DNA and AO flee together further north.
Development
During Okorafor's birthday, she released teaser photo of a completed manuscript for Noor which she had sent to her editor at DAW Books. In an interview with Bustle, she said that she had those who identified themselves as cyborgs in mind while writing Noor. According to her, Noor is expected to promote people with disabilities in the speculative fiction scene and also bring the injustice perpetrated by the Nigerian Government into light.
Themes
Noor focuses on a number of themes, including cybernetics, tradition, renewable energy, critiques of capitalism, gender identification, solarpunk ideology, and a futuristic retelling of the farmer-pastoralist conflict of Nigeria.
Reception
Noor got a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews, Kirkus Reviews called it "A searing techno-magical indictment of capitalism..." Mahvesh Murad of Tor.com described it as "...a book that takes a strong, clear stance against state surveillance and capitalist exploitation,..."

Tō Tsuneyori (東 常縁, 1401 - 1484) was a samurai warlord and poet of the mid-Muromachi period and early Sengoku period. He was the lord of Shinowaki Castle in Mino Province and served as Governor of Shimotsuke Province. He is known as the founder of Kōkin Denju poetic school. He held the court rank of Junior Fifth Rank. He was also known as Tōyashū.
Life
Tō Tsuneyori was born in 1401 as the son of Tō Masuyuki, Governor of Shimotsuke Province. He was adopted by his older half-brother Tō Ujikazu, and thus became the heir to the Tō family and the lord of Shinowaki Castle in Mino Province. He claimed descent from the Taira clan.
He studied waka poetry under Gyōkō of the Nijō poetic school and Shōtetsu from 1449 until 1451, when he officially became a disciple of Gyōkō.
In 1455, because of unrest in the Kanto region, he was sent to fight in various places in the region by the Ashikaga shogunate.
In September 1468, the family's territory in Gujō, Mino Province was usurped by the acting governor (shugo-dai) of Mino Province, Saitō Myōchin. At the time, Tsuneyori was in Musashi Province, and wrote a poem of lamentation. When Myōchin heard of Tsuneyori's poem, the two began a conversation in the form of waka poetry in 1469. The conversation led to Tsuneyori moving to the capital city Kyoto and receiving his territory back.
In 1471, Tsuneyori gave lectures to Inō Sōgi on Kokin Wakashū on two occasions. After this, he continued lecturing Sōgi on his interpretation on the poems, and eventually became the founder of Kōkin Denju, a school of Kokin Wakashū interpretation, with Sōgi becoming his disciple.
As a poetry scholar, he is known as the author of Tōyashū kikigaki, Shin-Kokin Wakashū kikigaki, and Tōyashū shūda. Additionally, he is also known for copying Ise Monogatari and Tsurezuregusa by hand.
He died in 1484 at the age of 83. There is also a theory that he died on April 18, 1494, at the age of 93, however 1484 is considered his actual year of death. His Dharma name is Soden.

The Squib class consisted of four completed torpedo boats built for the Confederate States Navy. Four vessels of the classCSS Hornet, CSS Wasp, CSS Squib, and CSS Scorpion were constructed in Richmond, Virginia, in 1864. All were armed with a single spar torpedo and were powered by steam engines. Squib damaged the gunboat USS Minnesota in an attack on April 9, 1864, and was later sent to Wilmington, North Carolina, where she was scuttled in February 1865. The other three vessels of the class were all part of the James River Squadron and participated in the Battle of Trent's Reach. Scorpion ran aground during the battle, and was forced downriver and out of control after the tender CSS Drewry exploded on January 24, 1865. She was later captured by Union forces and may have been burned. Hornet was sunk in a collision with another vessel on January 27, and Wasp was scuttled on the night of April 2/3, as the Confederates were abandoning Richmond.
Description and construction
During the American Civil War, the Union blockade was suffocating the breakaway Confederate States of America. In an attempt to break the blockade, the torpedo boat [[CSS David|CSS David]] attacked the Union ironclad USS New Ironsides on October 5, 1863, damaging the Union vessel. Afterwards, the Confederates continued to build additional torpedo boats. Led by Lieutenant Hunter Davidson, and constructor William A. Graves, Confederate engineers in Richmond, Virginia, designed a new class of torpedo boats based on a different pattern. While David was semi-submersible, the Richmond design, known as the Squib-class, was not. Four were completed: CSS Scorpion, CSS Squib, CSS Hornet, and CSS Wasp. These vessels had wooden hulls, and were driven by a propeller. Squib was about to , with a beam of about . She was powered by a double-cylinder steam engine, which had a single boiler and funnel. The engine was located amidships, and the boiler and funnel aft. Squib was reportedly quite fast.
The other three vessels of the class were longer than Squib and were very similar amongst themselves. They were long, with a beam of . All four ships are reported as having a depth of hold of . Their tonnage is unknown. One of the three non-Squib vessels of the class was described as having two oscillating condensing engines, which had a cylinder and a stroke, as well as a single boiler. The vessel was described as having "fair speed for a boat of her kind" by a Union engineer. The vessels of the class carried a crew of five or six. They were armed with a single spar torpedo, which was mounted on a shaft that was either or long. The spar could be raised or lowered by the ship's crew using a chain and tackle system. The ships's sides were armored by thin plates of iron.Squib was launched in early 1864, with the others built later that year. Confederate States Secretary of the Navy Stephen R. Mallory ordered six Squib-class boats from England, but they were never delivered. Additionally, two others were still under construction at Richmond in April 1864; the Confederates abandoned Richmond early in that month.
Service history
SquibSquib was also known as Infanta. Commanded by Davidson, Squib snuck into the midst of the Union fleet at Hampton Roads on April 9, 1864, and attacked the Union flagship USS Minnesota. After lowering the spar underwater, Davidson and his crew rammed the torpedo into Minnesota. The ensuing explosion of the of gunpowder in the torpedo damaged, but did not sink, the Union vessel. The torpedo had been too close to the water surface, reducing the effect of the explosion. Squib escaped. She was also used to carry flags of truce. At an unknown date during mid-1864, Squib was transported by railcar to Wilmington, North Carolina, where she served in the Cape Fear River. While later reports of the activities of Squib no longer exist, she may have been used to ferry men and supplies during the Second Battle of Fort Fisher. In February 1865, she was scuttled by her crew at Point Peter on Cape Fear.
Scorpion
Commanded by Lieutenant Edward Lakin, Scorpion performed guard duty on the James River as part of the James River Squadron. On the night of January 23, 1865, Scorpion participated in the Confederate offensive known as the Battle of Trent's Reach.
When the Confederate vessels present reached Union obstructions at Trent's Reach, Scorpion went ahead to perform depth soundings. Afterwards, while moving to get a lantern from the ironclad CSS Virginia II, Scorpion ran aground. At 07:10 on January 24, she was swept downriver and out of control when Union fire caused the armed tender CSS Drewry to explode. The explosion killed two crew members and swept four others overboard. Efforts to rescue her that night failed. She was later captured by Union forces, and may have been burned.
WaspWasp was commanded by Master's Mate J. W. Matherson and was part of the James River Squadron. She was present at the Battle of Trent's Reach on January 23 and 24. During the action, she helped refloat Hornet after the latter vessel ran aground, and unsuccessfully tried to get Scorpion ungrounded, but temporarily ran aground herself. Later, she withdrew to the Confederate position at Battery Dantzler. Wasp then served as a picket boat for Virginia II. She was burned on the night of April 2/3, as the Confederates abandoned Richmond.
HornetHornet was commanded by Master Samuel P. Blanc. On January 23 and 24, 1865, she also took part in the action at Trent's Reach. After Scorpion ran aground, Hornet, who had proceeding towards Richmond, encountered her and tried to get her unstuck, but was unable to do so due to the shallowness of the water. Hornet then moved upriver towards Battery Dantzler, arriving around the time of daylight. On January 27, Hornet'' collided with the steamer CSS Allison and sank.

Miss America 2023 is a competition currently pending, though will be performed at the Mohegan Sun late in 2022. The 2023 calendar year, based on several sources, may be the final year at Mohegan Sun. Somewhere in late 2022, the Miss America competitions are expected to return in person yet again, the second of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rather than being on mainstream television, the competitions are predicted for being on streaming television (or internet/web television) whenever the pageant is under way late in 2022, the second year this happens (the first was in December 2021). The 2022 Miss America will hand her M.A. crown to whosoever is declared Miss America 2023 by the Miss America Organization.
The background
The pageant competitions are the 95th to happen, though it will be the 101st Miss America anniversary. Whosoever wants to compete has to be between ages 17 and 26 (born between 1996 and 2005), be a United States resident/citizen and be under particular residency requirements of certain U.S. States, cities/towns and districts. The participating candidates of the Miss America Competition have to also be under proper, good or excellent health for which to meet their job assignments and requirements when these women are involved.
The U.S. State contests will happen during spring and summer 2022 (providing that COVID-19 does not interfere with the contestants themselves or the scheduling of the State's contests).
The controversy of the Miss America competition
In general, many people have said the Miss America, though it has tried reinventing themselves for not really being a beauty contest, may have actually done the opposite. Many praise the M.A. Organization's removal of the bathing suit competitions and distanced themselves from their sexist roots of the past. But large numbers of people, particularly the ones watching, referring to or writing about Miss America say the organization are still objectifying to some women, and mainly the contest participators. In other words: These females, beautiful or otherwise, need not continue being judged on and selected for their appearance (according to many women [and to some men], whether or not they monitor Miss America contests or may be Miss Americas themselves. The clothes worn by some Miss Americas, and in particular those 1983 and after are often under controversies. A number wonder whether these factors may come into play at the Miss America 2023 pageant when that happens.

TX Ursae Majoris is an eclipsing binary star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.97, the system is too faint to be readily viewed with the naked eye. The pair orbit each other with a period of 3.063 days in a circular orbit, with their orbital plane aligned close to the line of sight from the Earth. During the primary eclipse, the net brightness decreases by 1.74 magnitudes, while the secondary eclipse results in a drop of just 0.07 magnitude. TX UMa is located at a distance of approximately 780 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a mean radial velocity of −13 km/s.
In 1931, H. Rügemer and H. Schneller independently discovered this is an eclipsing binary system of the Algol type. Rügemer later found that the eclipse period was not constant, a behavior that was subsequently explained as apsidal precession. B. Cester and associates in 1977 confirmed this is a semidetached binary system consisting of a main sequence primary star and an evolved giant companion. A study of the system by J. M. Kreiner and J. Tremko in 1980 disproved that changes in the eclipse period are due to apsidal motion.
The light curve of this system shows little impact from proximity effects between the two stars, making it only weakly interacting. The primary eclipse is very deep with less than 5% of the brighter star's light appearing at central eclipse, allowing the spectrum of the fainter secondary to be directly examined. In addition to a steady decrease in the system orbital period, multiple irregular changes in the period were observed between 1903 and 1996. The slowing orbit may be due in part from magnetic breaking of the mass-donor secondary, causing a transfer of angular momentum to the system. An accretion disk may be a contributing factor. Spectral evidence supports an accretion disk in orbit around the primary that is sustained by mass transfer. A faint emission from the system is evidence of a circumbinary ionized shell.
The cooler secondary component is the more evolved member of the pair with a stellar classification of G0III-I, having previously exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and evolved off the main sequence. This star has filled its Roche lobe and is contributing mass to the primary. It now has 1.2 times the Sun's mass but has expanded to 4.2 times the solar radius. The secondary is rotating synchronously with its orbit. The primary component of this system is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B8V. It is rotating 1.5 times as fast as the orbital rate due to the impact of mass accretion from the secondary. The primary has 4.8 times the mass and 2.8 times the radius of the Sun.

In computer science, code motion, also known as code hoisting, code sinking, loop-invariant code motion, or code factoring, is a blanket term for any process which moves code within a program for performance or size benefits, and is a common optimization performed in most optimizing compilers. It can be difficult to differentiate between different types of code motion, due to the inconsistent meaning of the terms surrounding it.
Uses
Code motion has a variety of uses and benefits, many of which overlap each other in their implementation.
Removing unused/useless operations
Code Sinking, also known as lazy code motion, is a term for a technique which reduces wasted instructions by moving instructions to branches in which they are used: If an operation is executed before a branch, and only one of the branch paths use the result of that operation, then code sinking entails moving that operation into the branch where it will be used.
This technique is a form of dead code elimination in the sense that it removes code when it’s results are discarded or unused, but in contrast to dead code elimination, it can remove pointless instructions even if there is a possible use of that instruction’s results in an execution code path.
Reducing the size of the program
Code Factoring is a term for a size-optimization technique which merges common dependencies in branches into the branch above it. Just like factorizing integers decomposes a number into its smallest possible forms (as factors), code factorization transforms the code into the smallest possible form, by merging common "factors" until no duplicates remain.
Reducing dependency stalls
Global code motion, local code motion, code scheduling, Instruction scheduling and code hoisting/sinking are all terms for a technique where instructions are rearranged (or "scheduled") to improve the efficiency of execution within the CPU. Modern CPUs are able to schedule five or more instructions per clock cycle. However, a CPU cannot schedule an instruction which relies on data from a currently (or not yet executed) instruction. Compilers will interleave dependencies in a manner which maximizes the amount of instructions a CPU can process at any point in time.
On the defunct Intel Itanium architecture, the branch predict (BRP) instruction is manually hoisted above branches by the compiler to enable the branch to be immediately taken by the CPU. Itanium relies on additional code scheduling from the CPU to maximize efficiency in the processor.
Loop-invariant Code Motion
Loop-invariant code motion is the process of moving code which is invariant to the execution of the loop, while inside of the loop, to a position outside of the loop.
Compiler examples
Instruction scheduling and Loop-invariant code motion are discussed in their respective articles.
LLVM
LLVM has a sinking pass in it's single scalar assignment form. LLVM 15.0 will not sink an operation if any of it's code paths include a store instruction, or if it may throw an error. Additionally, LLVM will not sink an instruction into a loop.
GCC
The GNU Compiler Collection implements code motion under the name "code factoring", with the purpose of reducing the size of a compiled program. GCC will move any code upwards or downwards if it "[does not] invalidate any existing dependences nor introduce new ones".
LuaJIT
LuaJIT uses code sinking under the name "Allocation sinking", to reduce the amount of time compiled code spends allocating and collecting temporary objects within a loop. Allocation sinking moves allocations to execution paths where the allocated object may escape the executing code, and will thus require heap allocation. All removed allocations are filled in with load-to-store forwarding over their fields.

Rhipicera carinata is a species of beetle in the genus Rhipicera.
Taxonomic History
This species was first described in 2013. The species epithet has been derived from the Latin "carinatus", keel shaped, in reference to the median longitudinal frontal carina. R. carinata closely resembles R. reichei but differs in the black femora and vertex usually bearing longitudinal ridge.
Distribution
It is widely distributed and common in Western Australia and less common in South Australia.

Brigadier-general William Wolseley, PC ( – 1697) was an English army officer who fought in the Williamite War in Ireland.
Life
Early life
William Wolseley was fifth son of Sir Robert Wolseley, 1st Baronet, of Wolseley, Staffordshire, and younger brother of Sir Charles Wolseley (–1714).
Military career
In June 1667 William was appointed captain-lieutenant to the Marquis of Worcester's newly-raised foot regiment. This corps was disbanded a few months later when the Treaty of Breda was signed. Lord Worcester raised a foot regiment (disbanded in 1674) in January 1673 to repel an unexpected Dutch invasion, and Wolseley was appointed his captain-lieutenant by commission dated 26 January 1673. On 1 April 1679 Wolseley was appointed captain-lieutenant to an independent foot company at Chepstow Castle, commanded by the Marquis of Worcester (afterwards Duke of Beaufort), and six years later he was appointed captain in Beaufort's foot regiment (11th foot) by commission dated 20 June 1685. On 12 August 1688, when quartered at Scarborough, Wolseley came into prominent notice by causing the mayor of Scarborough, one Aislaby, to be publicly tossed in a blanket by a file of musqueteers for indignities inflicted on a Protestant clergyman when performing divine service in church. The mayor laid his grievances before James II in person, and Wolseley was summoned to appear before the council in London. "The captain pleaded his majesty's gracious general pardon, which was in the press, so was dismissed". On 3 December 1688 Lord Montgomery, the colonel of Wolseley's regiment, and Lord Langdale of the same corps, both Roman Catholics, were seized in their beds at Hull by Captain Copley and the Protestant officers of the garrison and kept in confinement. Wolseley now determined to join the Prince of Orange, but his doing so was delayed by false rumours of massacres in various parts of the country.
Wolseley's force of character and Protestant zeal were rewarded by the Prince of Orange, who conferred on him the lieutenant-colonelcy of Sir John Hanmer's regiment (11th foot). In May 1689 Hanmer's regiment accompanied General Percy Kirke to Ireland to assist in relieving Derry. Wolseley's name appears as one of the council of war held by Kirke on his arrival in Lough Derry. A deputation having waited on Kirke in June 1689 from Enniskillen, praying him to send some experienced officers to command the newly raised levies in County Fermanagh, Kirke sent Wolseley, with a few other officers, to organise and lead these irregulars. At the same time Kirke, by virtue of the authority he had from William III, issued commissions to the Enniskillen officers, which at a later date were confirmed by the King. Wolseley was now appointed colonel of the "Inniskilling Horse", which then consisted of twenty-five troops, but in January 1690 was reduced to twelve troops. For twelve months prior to the Boyne, Wolseley, as commander of the Enniskillen troops, was engaged in almost constant raids against the Irish forces of King James. He harassed the Irish army before Derry, and inflicted heavy loss upon them when they raised the siege and retreated. In the subsequent sanguinary action at Newtown-Butler Wolseley, with only two thousand men, defeated General Justin McCarthy, whose army was thrice that number, and showed such good generalship that between two thousand and three thousand Irish were killed or drowned in Lough Erne, many officers taken prisoners, and a large store of arms and ammunition captured. Wolseley surprised and took Belturbet in December 1689, and on 12 February 1690 defeated the Duke of Berwick in an engagement before Cavan and captured that town, which he burnt. A few weeks later he was severely wounded when commanding in the field.
Wolseley commanded eight troops of his regiment at the Battle of the Boyne (1 July 1690). But by an unfortunate mistake in giving the word of command the men formed to the left instead of to the right, thus bringing them with their backs to the enemy. Some of the other officers shouted to the men to wheel to the right, thereby causing some confusion. General Richard Hamilton took advantage of the disorder and charged. Some fifty of Wolseley's men were cut down, and the others, being pressed by the Irish cavalry, were routed. Their retreat was checked by the timely advance of the King with some Dutch cavalry. William rallied the fugitives, who again faced the enemy, and this time with better success.
He rendered valuable service during the remainder of the Irish campaign, and was present with his regiment at the dearly bought victory of Aughrim (12 July 1691).
Wolseley's services were rewarded in August 1692 by his being appointed Master-General of the Ordnance in Ireland, in room of Lord Mountjoy. On 22 March 1693 Wolseley was made brigadier-general over all the horse, and in May 1696 was appointed one of the Lords Justices in Ireland and a Privy Councillor.
Death
He died, unmarried, in December 1697.

A rejection hotline is a phone number which delivers a pre-recorded message telling the caller that the caller is rejected by the person who gave the caller that number. This project was set up as a practical joke by a Jeff Goldblatt From Atlanta in 2001.
Goldblatt says that he came up with the idea of the hotline observing an awkward situation when a man approached a pretty woman and failed to get her phone number. And he came up with the idea of a fake phone number as a subtle way of rejecting the date. While the hotline was set up as a joke, in 2002 a business, RH Brands, LLC was started based on the website humorhotlines.com. Soon the hotline started receiving millions of calls. Since then a number rejection hotlines were set up the United States, Ireland, Australia and Canada. In some major cities the number receives over 50,000 calls a day without any paid promotion whatsoever. humorhotlines.com facilitated numerous pranks across the country by setting numerous hotlines such as It Could Always Suck More Hotline, the Psychiatric Hotline, and the Angry Santa Hotline, which had been also receiving millions of calls. Most of them had nothing to do with "rejection".
The classic rejection hotline says: "Hello, this is not the person you are trying to call. The person who gave you this number obviously did not want you to have their real number", and proceeded to list a variety of possible reasons for the rejection: "Maybe you’re just not this person’s type … This could mean short, fat, ugly, dumb, annoying, arrogant or just a general loser ", etc.
There are a several other numbers with various kinds of messages.
While the hotlines were supposed to be a joke, their popularity shows they do fulfill a social function.
The idea of a rejection hotline was the core of a Purim prank pulled by The Jerusalem Post in 2021.

Barkers Mens Clothing or Barkers is a New Zealand menswear fashion brand and retail chain. It has 31 stores around the country, including 13 in Auckland. It was established in Auckland CBD in 1972, and is headquartered in Grafton, Auckland.
The chain sells a range of men's clothing, including shirts, knitwear, pants, jeans, sweatshirts, jackets and coats, blazers, t-shirts, shorts, polo shirts, socks, ties and belts.
History
1970s
Raymond Barker opened his first clothing store in 1972, on the corner of Victoria and High Streets of the Auckland CBD. The store faced stiff competition from 36 other specialist menswear retailers in the central city, with some threatening to cancel orders with suppliers and wholesalers that did business with Barker. The store sold original designs rather than those of major manufacturers.
Barker's charismatic 18-year-old salesman, Jeff Parsonson, went on to became his business partner.
A second store, named Collars and Cuffs, was opened five months later on nearby Queen Street, selling mostly body shirts. The store was moved to a larger site at 200 Queen Street, fitted out to theme of 1974 film The Great Gatsby, and renamed Barkers.
1980s
Raymond Barker began opening illegally on Saturday mornings in 1989 with the nearby Record Warehouse, as a protest against the ban on Saturday trading. Despite campaigning by the Shop Employees Union to retain the ban, National Government legalised Saturday morning trading six months later.
1990s
Barker and his staff often travelled overseas to study international trends. By the 1990s, the Barkers brand had a baggy, over-sized style.
Store manager Lester Van Der Veer returned home in the early 1990s with the idea of a hooded sweatshirt and matching trackpants for both men and women. First XV rugby teams and rowing eight teams received trackpants and sweatshirts embroidered with their school and team to promote the products. More than 50,0000 pairs of the trackpants, manufactured in west Auckland, were sold in the next few years.
The arrival of Australian retailers in the 1990s, which sold cheaper Chinese-made clothing, forced Bakers to also move its manufacturing offshore.
2000s
Barker sold the company in 2002 following a heart attack, and the company went through of ownership changes over the following decade.
2010s
The company came under new ownership in the early 2010s. The brand was relaunched to focus on its heritage.
On its 40th anniversary, the company launched a Barkers branded magazine, beer, and a 7-ich single by Lawrence Arabia, and revived the 1990s trackpants. Bakers also began collaborating with other brands like Swanndri, Flying Nun Records, McKinlay's and Surfline, and it became the formalwear supplier to the All Blacks. The company's 25 stores were refitted with unique local themes, and the two flagship stores were opened on Auckland's High Street and Wellington's Lambton Quay.

The Dedicated freight corridors in India are a network of broad gauge freight railway lines that solely serve freight trains, thus making the freight service in India faster and efficient. The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India is responsible for undertaking planning, development, and mobilisation of financial resources and construction, maintenance and operation of these corridors.
History
Origins of freight transport in India
After establishing the British Rule in India, the Britishers introduced trains to facilitate cargo transport from the heartlands of India to the trading centres that they had set up. The first proposals for freight railways in India were made in Madras (now Chennai) back in 1832. The first train in India ran from Red Hills to Chintadripet bridge in 1837. It was named the Red Hill Railway and it used a rotary steam locomotive manufactured by William Avery. The railway was built by Sir Arthur Cotton and was mainly used for transporting granite stones for road-building work in Madras. Later in 1845, Cotton built the Godavari Dam Construction Railway at Dowleswaram in Rajahmundry, to supply stone for construction of a dam on the Godavari River.
In 1851, the Solani Aqueduct Railway was built in Roorkee. The freight was hauled by a steam locomotive called Thomason, named after a British officer. It was used for transporting construction materials for an aqueduct over the Solani river.
On 8 May 1845, the Madras Railway was incorporated, and the East Indian Railway Company (EIR) was incorporated the same year. On 1 August 1849, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) was incorporated by an Act of Parliament. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway introduced a broad gauge of for the first passenger railway line in India, between Bori Bunder and Thane. This was later adopted as the standard throughout the country, as it was thought to be safer in areas prone to cyclones and flooding. The gauge is now commonly referred to as Indian gauge. While some initial freight railway lines in India were built using standard gauge, most of the standard and narrow gauge railways have since been dismantled and relaid in broad gauge under the Project Unigauge initiated in 1990.
Problems India faced in freight rail transportation
The demand for passenger rail grew as the time went by. At the end of the 20th century, India had built one of the largest networks of railways, but the timely freight transport services were not provided with the priority and freight trains were often halted abruptly to pave the way for passenger trains. The Indian logistics cost was also sky high, taking up 13-15% share of India's GDP. Hence, there was need of a solution which would ease the burden on modern railway network and boost India's industrial growth.
Implementation of Dedicated Freight Corridors
As the need for a dedicated freight corridor arose, in December 2006, an agreement was signed between India and Japan for the Development of two exclusive rail freight corridors, also known as Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC) as a part of economic co-operation for industry and trade. One between Delhi and Mumbai, termed as Western Corridor and other between Delhi and Kolkata termed as Eastern Corridor. A band of 150 km each on either side of this corridor was planned to be developed exclusively for industrial development.

Impact on the Indian economy
The dedicated freight corridors aim to bring down the cost of freight transport, by using electrical fuel, bigger and larger trains, thus helping Indian industries to become competitive in the world export market. These corridors will also help India achieve the targets it has committed to in the paris climate accord, by switching from diesel propelled freight trains and fossil fuel-based road traffic to the electricity based railway locomotives. India is growing in renewable energy production, with most of the country's new electricity generation capacity being added through solar, wind and nuclear sources.
The new generation pantograph allows an increase in the height of the overhead wires (catenary height) from the standard to -setting the world record for the high reach pantograph for highest catenary for electric locomotives, this will also enable Indian railways to introduce double-decker passenger trains in high-density suburban passenger route and roro cargo service across the Indian railways network. The Indian passenger railway network will be able to run semi-high speed and high-speed trains in the existing network, as 70% of cargo traffic will migrate to the dedicated freight corridors.
The Eastern DFC may not be able to support roro as it has height of compared to of the Western DFC. While the Konkan railway is the only railway zone in India, which has streamlined the roro service and is able to save 75 million litre diesel fuel and related foreign exchange for the country. roro services are deployed in East central railway, Northeast Frontier railway zones along with Konkan railway, but, roro has failed to be successful in existing electrical railway infrastructure because of the height of the overhead electrical wires.

Admiral William Wolseley (1756 – 1842) was an Anglo-Irish naval officer in the Royal Navy.
Life
William Wolseley, of the Irish branch of the old Staffordshire family of Wolseley, was born on 15 March 1756 at Annapolis in Nova Scotia, where his father, Captain William Neville Wolseley, of the 47th Regiment of Foot, was then in garrison. His mother was Anne, sister of Admiral Phillips Cosby. In 1764 the family returned to Ireland; and in 1769 William, who had been at school in Kilkenny, was entered on board the Goodwill cutter at Waterford, commanded by his father's brother-in-law, Lieutenant John Buchanan. Two years later, when the Goodwill was paid off, Wolseley was sent by his uncle Cosby to a nautical school in Westminster, from which, after some months, he joined the Portland, going out to Jamaica. He returned to England in the Princess Amelia, and in September 1773 joined the 50-gun ship Salisbury, with Commodore [Sir] Edward Hughes, Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies. The Salisbury came home in the end of 1777, and Wolseley, having passed his examination, was promoted, 11 June 1778, to be junior lieutenant of the Duke, one of the fleet with Keppel in July, though on the 27th she had fallen so far to leeward that she had no part in the action. When the autumn cruise came to an end, Wolseley, at the suggestion of Sir Edward Hughes, going out again as Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies, effected an exchange into the Worcester, one of his squadron. After some service against pirates in the Indian seas, he commanded a company of the naval brigade at the reduction of Negapatam in October 1781, and again at the storming of Fort Ostenburg, Trincomalee, on 11 January 1782, when he was severely wounded in the chest by a charge of slugs from a gingal, and left for dead in the ditch. Happily he was found the next day and carried on board the Worcester. He was shortly afterwards moved into the Superb, Hughes's flagship, and in her was present in the first four of the actions with the Bailli de Suffren. After the last of these, 3 September 1782, he was promoted to be commander of the Combustion fireship, and on 14 September was posted to the Coventry frigate, which on the night of 12 January 1783 ran in among the French fleet in Ganjam Roads, mistaking the ships for Indiamen, and was captured. Wolseley was civilly treated by Suffren, who sent him as a prisoner to Mauritius. He was shortly afterwards transferred to Bourbon, where he was detained till the announcement of peace. He then got a passage to St. Helena in a French transport, and so home in an East Indiaman.
In 1786 he was appointed to the Trusty, fitting out at Portsmouth for the broad pennant of his uncle, Phillips Cosby. After a three years' commission in the Mediterranean, the Trusty came home and was paid off. In 1792 Wolseley was appointed to the Lowestoft frigate, in which in the early months of 1793 he was employed in convoy duty in St. George's Channel. He was then sent out to join Lord Hood in the Mediterranean; was present at the occupation of Toulon, and on 30 September, while detached under Commodore Linzee, occupied the celebrated Mortella Tower, which, being handed over to the Corsicans, was retaken by the French some three weeks later, and on 8 February 1794 beat off the 74-gun ship Fortitude, inflicting on her severe loss and damage. The Tower was, however, shortly afterwards captured by a landing party under the command of Wolseley. A few days later he was moved into the Impérieuse, which went home in the end of the year. He had hoped to be again appointed to her; but he was recommended by Hood, and to some extent shared in the ill-feeling of the Admiralty towards the discarded admiral, so that for nearly five years he was left unemployed.
Towards the end of 1795 he married Jane, daughter of John Moore of Clough House, County Down, grandson of a Scottish officer, Colonel Muir, who had served in Ireland under William III and obtained a grant of land. He took a little place near Clough House, and lived there in retirement except during the Rebellion of 1798, when he commanded a company of volunteers which took part in the "Battle" of Ballynahinch. Early in 1799 he was appointed to the 74-gun ship Terrible, one of the Channel Fleet under Lord Bridport, and in 1800 under Lord St. Vincent. In December 1800 he was moved into the St. George, but on that ship being selected as the Flagship of Lord Nelson, in February 1801, Wolseley was transferred to the San Josef, which was paid off on the signing of the Peace of Amiens. He afterwards had command of the Sea Fencibles of the Shannon district till his promotion to the rank of rear-admiral on 23 April 1804. He was then appointed to the command of the Sea Fencibles of all Ireland, from which he retired towards the end of 1805. He had no further employment, but was made vice-admiral on 25 October 1809 and admiral on 12 August 1819.
In the spring of 1842 the old wound received sixty years before at the storming of Fort Ostenberg opened and would not heal. The surgeons came to the conclusion that something must have remained in the wound, and, as the result of an operation, extracted a jagged piece of lead and a fragment of cloth. The wound, however, would not heal. Gradually losing strength, he died in London on 7 June 1842. He was then the senior admiral of the red. His wife had died several years before, leaving issue two sons and two daughters. His portrait, painted in Paris, in 1840, by Jules Laur, was inherited by his granddaughter.

The 2003 Pontiac Excitement 400 was the 11th stock car race of the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 49th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, May 3, 2003, before a crowd of 110,000 in Richmond, Virginia, at Richmond International Raceway, a 0.75 miles (1.21 km) D-shaped oval.
