75,545,697 | Pointe (Colbert novel) | Pointe is a 2014 young adult novel by Brandy Colbert. It follows a teen dancer in suburban Chicago who has to come to terms with her dark past.
Pointe follows Theo, a 17-year-old ballet dancer who lives in suburban Chicago and dreams of dancing professionally. As Theo is preparing for a high-stakes audition, her best friend, who had disappeared four years prior, returns. She learns that Theo's kidnapper was Theo's ex-boyfriend, an adult who had lied about his age to date her when she was 13. Throughout the novel, Theo struggles with anorexia and comes to terms with the realization that the relationship she thought was loving was actually more dangerous than she imagined.
Colbert began working on Pointe in 2009, inspired by reports of long-term kidnapping cases.
Pointe received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, who called the novel "extraordinary ", noting that the book includes "honest, confident prose" and "characters whose flaws, struggles, and bad decisions make them real and indelibly memorable".
Christine Heppermann, writing for the Chicago Tribune, described the novel as "searing", and considered the main character "achingly believable", writing that she "inspires that level of connection" where "you long to reach into the pages ... and tell her, "No, you've got it all wrong".
On behalf of Booklist, Daniel Kraus called Pointe a "strong debut [that] believably portrays self-delusion through a first-person voice".
Jill Ratzan, writing for School Library Journal, highlighted how "Colbert bravely chooses realistic, if not necessarily happy resolutions to some subplots", including the resolution of Theo's former romantic relationship. Ratzan also noted, however, that "the abundance of high-interest motifs and devices (an unreliable narrator, statutory rape, kidnapping, eating disorders, and hints of the elite world of ballet) sometimes overloads the story, and the connections among them often feel forced".
Kirkus Reviews said the novel "ultimately misses the…point". They agreed that "Colbert does a commendable job creating authentic teen characters", but noted that "Theo’s struggles with anorexia are surprisingly and disappointingly lacking in emotion" and that "while there are flashbacks aplenty, there are surprisingly few that shed light on the deep connection Theo and Donovan presumably once shared". | [

75,545,724 | Zack Pelehos | Zack Pelehos (born July 12, 1999) is a Canadian football offensive lineman with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Pelehos played U Sports football for the Ottawa Gee-Gees from 2018 to 2021. He did not play in 2019 after using a redshirt season and did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 U Sports football season. He returned to play in 2021 and played and started in 16 regular season games over two seasons.
Pelehos was ranked as the 15th best player in the Canadian Football League's Amateur Scouting Bureau final rankings for players eligible in the 2022 CFL Draft. He was then drafted with the second overall pick, and first by players in U Sports, by the Ottawa Redblacks. He began the 2022 season on the injured list, but made his professional debut in week 2 on June 17, 2022, against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as a backup offensive lineman. He spent eight games on the injured list and played in ten games for the Redblacks during his rookie season.
Following training camp in 2023, Pelehos won a starting job and earned his first career start at right tackle on June 10, 2023, against the Montreal Alouettes. He had eventually lost his starting role to Dontae Bull in August, but reclaimed the starting position on October 14, 2023. He played in 14 regular season games in 2023. | [

75,545,745 | Ricken Tunnel railway accident | The Ricken Tunnel railway accident was a railway accident on October 4th, 1926 that killed nine people through carbon monoxide poisoning in the Ricken Tunnel between Kaltbrunn and Wattwil.
The Ricken Tunnel lies under the Ricken Pass and is part of the single-track SBB-operated Uznach–Wattwil line. It is 8,604 metres (28,228 ft) long, with a cross-sectional area of 25.5 square metres (274 sq ft) and a constant incline of 15,75 ‰. The tunnel lacks artificial ventilation. The tunnel was widely disliked by railway personnel during the era of steam operation due to the danger of gas buildup.
The crew of passenger train #3616, which left Wattwil at 11:05 AM on October 4, 1926, and arrived in Kaltbrunn at 11:20 AM, did not notice any significant gas buildup in the tunnel.
At 11:55 AM, freight train #6854 left Kaltbrunn station. The train, led by a B 3/4 steam locomotive, had 6 Swiss Federal Railways personnel aboard and a trailing load of 252 tonnes (278 short tons). It entered the tunnel at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour (12 mph). The locomotive's maximum trailing load for this route at the time was 260 tonnes (290 short tons).
As the train continued through the tunnel, its speed gradually decreased due to insufficient steam generaton. After 6 ½ minutes or 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) of travel, the train got stuck on the incline because it was using low-quality fuel briquettes. The locomotive crew failed to get the train moving again.
Due to poor ventilation in the tunnel, there wasn't enough oxygen for the steam locomotive's fire, resulting in incomplete combustion. Consequently, the locomotive's exhaust gases increasingly consisted of toxic carbon monoxide instead of non-toxic carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin in the blood, blocking the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body. Forensic investigations later confirmed that the victims suffocated from carbon monoxide.
According to the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, there was an exceptionally strong anticyclone (high pressure area) on the north side of the alps on the day of the incident. The lack of air pressure difference prevented the toxic smoke from escaping the tunnel.
An eight person rescue team came from Wattwil in a passenger car with breathing equipment. Due to poor visibility, the rescuers could only advance step by step to the accident site for the last kilometer. Since several helpers became unconscious, the rescue attempt had to be abandoned. Nevertheless, they still managed to bring the unconscious fireman back to Wattwil.
Two of the rescuers had to be left in the tunnel. One rescuer and the fireman died upon being brought back to Wattwil.
A later attempt from Kaltbrunn to reach the accident site with a rescue train also failed. Only after 8 PM, with the help of a handcar, respirators, and oxygen masks, were they able to reach the accident site from Kaltbrunn. By that point, recovery work was no longer hindered by smoke and gas. The train crew and the two rescuers from Wattwil were found dead, raising the death toll to nine. The victims were found lying or sitting in the wagons. Two of the victims were found outside of the train, in alcoves in the tunnel. One of the deceased rescuers from Wattwil had apparently tried to contact the station using the tunnel telephone. When the rescue team arrived, the train's kerosene lanterns were still burning, but the briquettes on the grate had burned out.
Following the accident, the allowed trailing load of the trains was reduced, and train staff were equipped with oxygen masks. In Wattwil and Kaltbrunn, rescue equipment was installed. Shortly after the accident, the line would be electrified. On May 7, 1927, electric operation on the Rapperswil–Wattwil route, including the tunnel, commenced.
On March 1st, 1916, there was an accident involving smoke gases in the Ricken Tunnel in which four railway workers lost conciousness near the middle of the tunnel. One of them managed to successfully alert the Wattwil station, leading to a search and rescue operation. One of the rescuers also became unconscious and needed medical attention. | [

75,545,753 | Ford 8F transmission | The Ford 8F transmission is a family of automatic transmissions with eight forward speeds for light-duty transversely-mounted applications. It is designed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company starting in 2019; the 8F35 is derived from the General Motors 9TXX family, which in turn was developed from an earlier GM 6T40 transmission.
Ford and GM announced a joint venture to share automatic transmission designs in April 2013: GM would adopt a 10-speed longitudinal transmission primarily designed by Ford, while Ford would adopt the GM 9T 9-speed transverse transmission. Ford declined to use the GM 9T, however, as the promised improvement in fuel consumption was less than expected, and removed one gear, resulting in the Ford 8F35.
At the same time, Ford also launched the 8F24 and 8F57 transmissions. The 8F24 is unique to Ford, while the 8F57 is derived from an earlier GM-Ford 6-speed automatic transmission.
The 8F24 is designed for engines with a maximum output of 240 N⋅m (180 lbf⋅ft).
The 8F35 is derived from the GM 9T50 and both share components with the GM 6T40 and Ford 6F35. The change in ratio between the 2nd and 3rd gears is relatively small; in later versions, the transmission is instructed to skip 2nd gear entirely to enhance throttle response. It uses six solenoids (on two driving clutches and four brake clutches), and a selectable one-way clutch, applied in different combinations to engage the eight forward speeds and reverse. It is designed for engines with a maximum output of 350 N⋅m (260 lbf⋅ft).
The 8F57 is designed for engines with a maximum output of 575 N⋅m (424 lbf⋅ft). | [

75,545,789 | Acme Tools | Acme Electric Motor, Inc. (commonly referred to as Acme Tools) is a family-owned tool and equipment distributor in the Midwestern United States. Founded in 1948 as Acme Electric Motor, Inc., this company was first rebranded as Tool Crib of the North in 1970, and then as Acme Tools in 2005. The term "ACME" is significant to the company because the term represents the highest level or degree attainable, the peak of perfection. Acme Tools is headquartered in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and operates twelve brick-and-mortar stores, including ten Acme Tools and two Acme Equipment locations throughout North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Across all locations, the company currently employs over 650+ staff members.
In 1999, Acme Tools launched its initial eCommerce website. The same year, the company sold its internet and catalog divisions to Amazon. The company relaunched its eCommerce operations in 2010 and has since become an authorized online retailer. By 2021, Acme Tools offered products from over 300 brands, including Milwaukee Tool, DeWalt, Makita USA, Bosch, and Husqvarna. In 2023, the company now features over 900 brands. Acme Tools also operates exclusively within the United States. This is because the company seeks to serve American contractors, woodworkers, and do-it-yourself professionals.
Acme Electric Motor, Inc. was founded in 1948 by George Kuhlman out of a 300-square-foot garage in downtown Grand Forks. Although the initial focus was on electric motor repair, George had a vision for the future of Acme Electric. He named the company "ACME" because of what the term means:
ACME – (noun) the point at which someone or something is best, perfect, or most successful.
In 1951, just three years later, George Kuhlman moved his company to a larger location to accommodate expansion opportunities. Acme Electric Motor, Inc. experienced growth in the mid-1950s because of the arrival of contractors to Grand Forks, North Dakota. The contractors were tasked with building the Grand Forks Air Force Base and nearby missile sites. George Kuhlman grew close to several defense contractors, delivering repaired power tools and hand tools to job sites.
George Kuhlman's son, Daniel Kuhlman, began working at Acme Electric Motor, Inc. when he was just 10 years old. Dan officially joined the company in 1962. In 1967, the company built a new retail location at 1705 13th Ave. North in Grand Forks, North Dakota. This location added much-needed retail and warehouse space.
In 1970, Acme Electric Motor, Inc. rebranded itself to adopt the following name: Tool Crib of the North. The Tool Crib of the North's first expansion following rebranding was in Bismarck, North Dakota. In 1979, the city was experiencing a growing number of oil and coal contractors, particularly because of the construction of a nearby coal gasification plant. This expansion continued over the following years, with new locations established in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1982; Minot, North Dakota, in 1985; and Duluth, Minnesota, in 1995. Celebrating its 50th year with a workforce of 150 employees, the Tool Crib of the North established itself as a significant player in the industry.
George's son, Daniel Kuhlman, launched the company's first print catalog in 1976. The mail order division, operating under the name Tool Crib of the North, opened in 1985. The mail order division sold woodworking equipment from print ads in national trade magazines. The company's call center opened in 1988. Dan's sons joined the company after graduating from the University of North Dakota, Steve in 1989 and Paul in 1994. Both Steve Kuhlman and Paul Kuhlman got their start at Acme Electric Motor, Inc. by working in the catalog division. More than six million catalogs were sent out each year nationwide. The division grew the business to more than seven times its size by offering tools to a national audience, realizing annual growth of 25%.
In 1998, the Tool Crib of the North constructed a 50,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center, employing over 100 staff to process 2,000 orders daily across a range of 4,000 items. That year, the company also opened Acme Rents in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The company then entered the online market in 1999, launching a website for tool and equipment sales, which soon made up five percent of its sales. By the end of 1999, the Tool Crib of the North sold its online and catalog divisions to Amazon.com, with Steve Kuhlman taking the role of Amazon's North Dakota division director for three years, while Paul Kuhlman stayed with Acme Electric Motor, Inc. as the Vice President of Marketing for all retail locations.
Adhering to a ten-year non-compete agreement with Amazon, the company focused on retail expansion, acquiring Dakota Fastening in 2003 and Puckett Tools in 2004, leading to new stores in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, Iowa. A new store was also opened in Bemidji, Minnesota, in late 2004.
In 2005, the company rebranded as Acme Tools and expanded into the Twin Cities market with a new store in Plymouth, Minnesota. Acme Tools relaunched its online retail presence in 2010 with a new eCommerce website, initially offering 5,000 products, which grew to over 70,000 by 2023. This site caters to a nationwide clientele, including contractors, home builders, woodworkers, remodelers, landscapers, farmers, and do-it-yourself professionals. The company's growth continued with the opening of its 10th retail location in Williston, North Dakota. In the same year, Acme Tools also created a new division, Acme Equipment, in Grand Forks, providing over 35+ lines of construction and landscaping equipment.
In 2014, a 40,000-square-foot eCommerce distribution center was established in the Grand Forks Business Park, later doubled in size by 2019. Additionally, in 2015, the company expanded its headquarters by 15,000 square feet to accommodate new offices and facilities. Now led by the third and fourth generations of the Kuhlman family, Acme Tools remains a significant competitor in the tool and equipment industry after over 70 years. This is because of the company's focus on taking care of its employees and customers. Steve Kuhlman remembers the following:
"Our success and growth over seventy years is a function of the importance we place on focusing on the customer and providing exceptional customer service. That was my grandfather's guiding business principle when he founded Acme Electric and it's even more relevant today in our stores and our digital platform."
As of 2023, Acme Tools is the largest B2B e-retailer in North Dakota and is nationally ranked by Internet Retailer. In January 2023, the company's eCommerce division was also recognized on Newsweek's Best Online Shops 2023 list; an award presented by Newsweek and Statista Incorporated.
The mascot of Acme Tools has been Duster since his debut in 1997 at the 4th Annual Woodworking and Power Tool Show. This event was held in Duluth, Minnesota. Since then, Duster has been present on the company's social media platforms, like TikTok, and is a consistent component of the Acme Tools brand and product lines. Duster should not be confused with and is not related to the Acme Corporation's Wile E. Coyote.
The size of Acme Tools store locations is largely unknown. What is known is that one of the largest locations can be found in Plymouth, Minnesota. Acme Tools of Plymouth features a 13,600 sq. ft. of showroom. The company's primary and secondary colors include the following: Coyote Red #ED1C24, Coyote Black #222222, Coyote Grey #707372, Coyote White #FFFFFF, Coyote Yellow #FFC905, and Coyote White #177DFF.
The most commonly referred to slogans at Acme Tools are "Do Your Best Work" and "The Right Tools Do It". The only other slogan of relevance used in the company's history is the former name of Acme Electric Motor, Inc., and more recently the company's catalog division, "Tool Crib of the North".
Acme Tools is headquartered in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Acme Tools operates 10 brick-and-mortar retail locations, 2 Acme Equipment stores that feature both new and used heavy equipment offerings, and multiple Acme Rents locations found throughout North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa.
In 1998, the company built a 50,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center. In 2014, another facility was built in the Grand Forks Business Park. This location featured a 40,000-square-foot eCommerce distribution center that later doubled in size by 2019. In 2023, just four years later, Acme Tools constructed another new 115,888-square-foot distribution center was built in Burnsville, Minnesota.
Acme Tools currently operates online at AcmeTools.com. At the Acme Tools eCommerce website, you will find over 70,000 products sourced from over 900 tool and equipment industry brands. The company has a customer service center with FAQs to answer customer questions. | [

75,545,814 | The Stone Age: Sixty Years of the Rolling Stones | The Stone Age: Sixty Years of the Rolling Stones is a 2022 non-fiction book about the history of the English rock band The Rolling Stones written by Lesley-Ann Jones.
The book claims that band members Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Mick Taylor were bisexual and that Jagger had flings with each of them, as well as a long-term affair with singer David Bowie.
Publishers Weekly called the book "more shallow than substantive". Kenneth Womack of Salon referred to it as a "no-holds-barred study" that is strange and "occasionally beguiling". Adam Ellsworth of The Arts Fuse gave the book a negative review, commenting that it consists mostly of gossip, but he did praise the amount of coverage of the women in the band's orbit. John Walshe of the Business Post gave the book a positive review, stating that Jones personal experience with some of the events adds to her ability to tell the story of the band well. Vintage Guitar magazine's Bret Adams commends that Jones "brings a befitting wit, sarcasm, and snark" to the text. Jennie Roberson of Bi.org lauded Jones effort in backing up claims for the book, calling it "exhaustively well-researched". | [

Adam Ellsworth of The Arts Fuse gave the book a negative review, commenting that it consists mostly of gossip, but he did praise the amount of coverage of the women in the band's orbit. John Walshe of the Business Post gave the book a positive review, stating that Jones personal experience with some of the events adds to her ability to tell the story of the band well. Vintage Guitar magazine's Bret Adams commends that Jones \"brings a befitting wit, sarcasm, and snark\" to the text. Jennie Roberson of Bi.org lauded Jones effort in backing up claims for the book, calling it \"exhaustively well-researched\".",

75,545,871 | Nghana Lewis | Nghana tamu Lewis is a judge, scholar, lawyer and tenured associate professor from Lafayette, Louisiana. In January 2021, Lewis took the bench to serve as the Division B 40th District Court judge, in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. Lewis is also a tenured associate professor in both the English Department and the Africana Studies Department at Tulane University.
Lewis grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana. She attended St. Thomas More Catholic School.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Tulane University (magna cum laude) in 1994. During her undergraduate studies, Lewis was elected to the Newcomb College Senate and twice appointed to the Newcomb College Honor Board. In her sophomore year, she pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and was chosen as a Newcomb College Asset, a distinction given to ten Newcomb women for campus leadership and service.
Lewis earned a Master of Arts in English from the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. During her graduate studies, Lewis became the first recipient of the Richard K. Barksdale Fellowship and was elected to the English Graduate Student Association.
She earned a PhD in English specializing in American literature since 1800 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2001); and a JD from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.
In 2023, Lewis began her Master of Judicial Studies degree at Duke Law.
Lewis has been a resident of St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana, since 2004.
In 2001, Lewis accepted an assistant professorship in English at Louisiana State University upon earning her PhD. While at LSU, she launched the Encouraging Student Scholarship & Excellence through Native-Centered Education Program (ESSENCE) a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that provides supplemental educational services in English, Language Arts, and Reading for K-12 schools.
In 2005, Lewis accepted a joint assistant professorship in English and African & African Diaspora Studies at Tulane University. In 2010, she was awarded the Suzanne & Stephen Weiss Presidential Fellowship for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching at Tulane.
Lewis is a tenured associate professor, with joint appointments in the English Department and Africana Studies Program, at Tulane University. She is also an affiliate faculty member of Tulane's School of Law and an adjunct professor with Tulane's Department of Psychology. Lewis' research and teaching focus on black literary and cultural studies, black women's health & wellness, hip hop culture and criminal justice reform. Lewis held a Social Entrepreneurship Professorship from 2011 to 2014.
In the spring of 2020 after Tulane transitioned to virtual learning following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, Lewis invited Jordan Peele to speak via zoom to two of her classes, Introduction to Africana Studies and Introduction to African American Literature. Peele accepted and participated in a conversation about his Oscar-awarded film, Get Out, which the students studied earlier in the semester. Lewis said, “Entry points for discussion differed, with Peele’s cinematic vision, calls-and-responses to Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby and Stepford Wives, and genre-bending emerging centrally in my African American Literature course, and modalities of white privilege, white power, and black racial injustice shaping engagement in my Introduction to Africana Studies course.”
Lewis began her legal career clerking for Judge Mary Hotard Becnel in Division B of the 40th Judicial District Court. Following the clerkship, Lewis worked as a public defender in St. John the Baptist Parish.
Prior to taking the bench, Lewis, a defense attorney, maintained a private law practice in LaPlace, Louisiana where she served clients in the areas of criminal defense, Social Security, employment & labor, and civil rights.
Louisiana state court judges are selected through a partisan election process. Under the Louisiana majority-vote system, also known as a jungle primary, a candidate needs to win a simple majority of all votes cast for the office in October. If no candidate meets that threshold, the top two candidates, regardless of their partisan affiliations, advance to a second election in December, and the candidate who receives the most votes in the runoff wins. Louisiana has 217 district court judgeships and district court judges serve 6-year terms.
Between the court of appeals, district courts, and city and parish courts in Louisiana, 24-25% have non-white judges as of a 2018 Tulane University report. The exception to Louisiana's mostly white and male bench is Orleans Parish, without which the state's racial and gender disparity would be much greater. While women make up 51% of the Louisiana's population, they make up only 32% of its state and federal judges.
In 2016, Lewis ran in the general election for the 40th Judicial District Division B seat, which oversees civil, criminal, traffic, juvenile and family cases in St. John the Baptist Parish. The parish is located on the Mississippi River approximately 130 miles (210 km) upriver from the Gulf of Mexico and 40 miles (48 km) upriver from the City of New Orleans.
St. John the Baptist Parish has 5,696 registered Democrat voters, 1,671 registered Republican voters, and 2,569 registered as "other." The parish has 4,238 white registered voters, 5,218 black registered voters, and 480 "other" registered voters. The parish has 4,327 male registered voters and 5,607 female registered voters.
The judgeship opened after Judge Mary Hotard Becnel announced she was stepping down after 23 years of service at the end of 2016, leaving the door open to local candidates looking to serve out the remainder of her 6-year term, which ended in 2021. Lewis clerked for Judge Becnel in 2007 and has said that this experience along with her work as a public defender inspired her to run in 2016.
The election took place November 8, 2016. Perilloux took 38% of the votes compared to 37% for Lewis. Rob Snyder Jr., the parish's 3rd District justice of the peace, got 25% of the votes. The close race between Perriloux and Lewis led to a runoff election in December.
In December's runoff following the close race, Lewis was defeated by Perilloux.
Perilloux was indicted on charges of indecent behavior with a juvenile and sexual battery taking place in 2017. In 2018, Perriloux was suspended from the bench pending the outcome of a criminal case. In 2020, Perilloux resigned after being convicted of three felony counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile and one count of misdemeanor sexual battery for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl and groping two other teenagers.
In 2020, Lewis defeated challenger Leandre Millet and won the election for the 40th Judicial District (Division B) seat. Lewis told L'Observateur that her priorities will include facilitating the collection of unpaid ticket-related fines and costs, meeting with stakeholders to begin development of a comprehensive juvenile justice prevention plan and developing a mandatory community service plan for the court.
Despite having been convicted of three felony counts of indecent behavior and one misdemeanor count of sexual battery, Perilloux received 7% (434 votes) of the votes on November 3. Perilloux's name was unable to be removed from the ballot because his conviction and resignation from the bench occurred after the candidacy period challenge ended.
Lewis took the bench January 1, 2021.
For a Black History Month interview in L'Observateur, Lewis was asked about the changes she'd like to see in the St. John the Baptist community. She replied, "To enrich the overall quality of life in St. John the Baptist Parish for all citizens of our parish, I would like to see increased community awareness-raising, transparency and fiscal responsibility in the day-to-day operations of all branches of our government. I am especially excited about opportunities that the judges of the 40th Judicial District Court, the district attorney, our parish president and local school leaders and educators have been exploring to provide enriched literacy instruction to elementary school children."
Lewis founded the Literacy Clinic in August 2021, a one-year pilot program focused on literacy services for Fifth Ward Elementary with the 40th Judicial District Court serving as a mediator to identify those who could benefit from literacy services. Due to the research, the clinic prioritizes K-2 education. Lewis explains, "Studies indicate that if a child is not reading at grade level by third grade, there is a greater likelihood that child will not be successful in school, and that’s when you start to see problems that may ultimately lead that child to entering the criminal justice system as a juvenile."
In 2021, Judge Lewis was appointed to Louisiana's Children's Justice Act Task Force and, in 2022, she was appointed to the Louisiana Supreme Court Technology Commission, one of only three standing committees of the Louisiana Supreme Court, for a two-year term.
In January 2023, Lewis helped launch a pilot program, "Respect is Just a Minimum" geared toward St. John the Baptist youth in grades 7 through 12. Lewis states that the program grew out of a "need to uplift young people who have tremendous potential to be successful but lack the proper support." The program is funded through a $119,000 grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice awarded to the 40th Judicial District Court and will offer 10 weekly sessions related to financial literacy, conflict resolution, healthy competency and empathic understanding.
In August 2021, Lewis handed down a decision regarding criminal defendant, Herbert Hille Jr., for his conviction of Molestation of a Juvenile. Hille, 73 years old from LaPlace, pled guilty on July 13, 2021, to the charge of Molestation of a Juvenile for his involvement in the repeated molestation of a young child in his care. Judge Lewis ordered that he serve 15 years, without the benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.
In November 2023, Lewis ordered the St. John the Baptist Planning Commission to halt any rezoning of residential land where a company is trying to build a massive grain terminal. Lewis issued a preliminary injunction against Greenfield Louisiana, and granted a restraining order to the Descendants Project, an activist group founded by twin sisters Jocyntia and Joyceia Banner. The Descendants Project originally sued to overturn the 1990 zoning change in 2021, attempting to block the construction of a 222-acre grain terminal complex in the predominantly Black community of Wallace on the West Bank. Greenfield's $400 million plans included over 50 grain silos, one of which would be as tall as the Statue of Liberty, and a conveyor more than 300 feet tall less than a half-mile from the Whitney Plantation.
In the order's notes, Lewis said the content of the parish's rezoning application, which used 1990s zoning maps and marked residential land as agricultural, was "at best, incomplete, and, at wors[t], dissembling." Lewis also stated that the parish's inability to update its zoning maps to reflect the August ruling "points to a lack of transparency and forthrightness by parish government."
The Banner sisters are leading an effort to overturn decades-old zoning changes that allow heavy industries to locate next to neighborhoods. In 2023, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the West Bank of St. John the Baptist Parish as one of eleven most endangered historic places. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' team of historical experts found that the Greenfield Grain Terminal would harm historic places in the parish, and concluded that the construction and operation would adversely impact the Willow Grove Cemetery, Whitney Plantation, Evergreen Plantation and Oak Alley Plantation, as well as the larger, idyllic setting of Great River Road. In 2018, St. John the Baptist was named the parish with the highest cancer risk in the United States.
Lewis' father, Francis Lewis, was from Carencro, Louisiana, and her mother, Gwendolyn Lewis, was from Alexandria, Louisiana. Lewis has two children from a previous marriage, and is married to Corey Hutchinson.

75,545,952 | Philip C. Johnson Jr. | Philip Carrigan Johnson Jr. (21 November 1828 – 28 January 1887) was a United States Navy officer. He served during the Mexican–American War and commanded two ships in combat during the American Civil War. After the war, he commanded the coastal survey ship Hassler from 1871 to 1872 during an expedition to the Strait of Magellan and both southern coasts of South America accompanied by natural historian Louis Agassiz.
Johnson was born in Fryeburg, Maine in 1828. His family moved to Augusta, Maine in 1833 and then to Washington, D.C. in 1845. He was appointed midshipman from Maine on 31 August 1846. Johnson served with the Home Squadron during the Bombardment of Veracruz in March 1847 and the Battle of Tuxpan in April 1847.
From 1847 to 1848, Johnson served aboard the ship-of-the-line USS Ohio in the Pacific Squadron. After classroom instruction on shore, he served aboard the frigate USS Congress in the Brazil Squadron from 1850 to 1851. Johnson then returned to the United States Naval Academy, graduating in 1852. He was promoted to passed midshipman on 8 June 1852.
After graduation, Johnson served aboard the stores ship USS Fredonia in the Pacific Squadron. From 1854 to 1859, he was assigned to the Office of Coast Survey, serving aboard the survey ship Active. Johnson was promoted to master on 15 September 1855 and then to lieutenant on 16 September 1855. From 1859 to 1861, he served aboard the steam sloop USS San Jacinto along the African coast.
After the outbreak of the Civil War, Johnson was given command of the captured steamer USS Tennessee in the Western Gulf Squadron until 1863. He participated in the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip. Johnson was promoted to lieutenant commander effective 16 July 1862. He next commanded the gunboat USS Katahdin in the Western Gulf Squadron until December 1863.
From April 1864 to February 1866, Johnson was assigned to the Naval Academy and given command of the training ship USS Constitution, first at Newport, Rhode Island and then returning to Annapolis, Maryland after the end of the Civil War. From September 1866 to March 1867, he served aboard the sloop-of-war USS Sacramento. Johnson was promoted to commander effective 2 February 1867. From 1868 to 1870, he was fleet captain in the South Pacific Squadron.
From 1871 to 1874, Johnson returned to the Office of Coast Survey, commanding the survey ship Hassler. He was promoted to captain on 14 June 1874 and given command of the screw sloop USS Omaha in the South Pacific Squadron. From 1875 to 1876, Johnson commanded the steam sloop USS Richmond in the South Pacific Squadron. From 1877 to 1881, he was captain of the yard at the Mare Island Navy Yard.
In June 1881, Johnson was given command of the training ship USS New Hampshire. From November 1881 to June 1884, he was assigned as Chief Signal Officer at the Navy Department in Washington, D.C. On 28 July 1884, Johnson was promoted to commodore. In October 1884, he assumed command of the Portsmouth Navy Yard.
Selected to command the Pacific Squadron, Johnson died in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on the morning of 28 January 1887, only a few hours before his scheduled promotion to rear admiral. As a result, Lewis A. Kimberly was promoted instead, replacing Edward Y. McCauley as squadron commander. The cause of his death was Bright's disease resulting from a contusion which occurred during the course of his duties at the navy yard.
Four years later, Johnson was posthumously promoted to rear admiral retroactive to 25 January 1887 (the date of Rear Adm. McCauley's retirement) by a special act of Congress. H.R. 6559 was passed by the House of Representatives on 29 January 1891 and then by the Senate on 3 March 1891.
Johnson was the son of Philip Carrigan Johnson and Mary Kimball (Chandler) Johnson. His father was a businessman who was appointed Secretary of State of Maine by Governor John Fairfield and then served in the civilian leadership of the Navy Department during the Polk administration. Philip Johnson Jr. had five sisters and two older brothers, one of whom was painter Eastman Johnson.
Johnson married Elvira Lindsay Acevedo (17 February 1838 – 8 February 1908), the daughter of a Scotsman and a Chilean, on 8 January 1870 in Talcahuano. His wife aided Elizabeth Agassiz in her social investigations of indigenous cultures during the 1871–1872 Hassler expedition. Naval officer Alfred Wilkinson Johnson, who retired from active duty as a vice admiral, was their son.
Johnson and his wife are buried in Section 2 of Arlington National Cemetery. | [

75,545,969 | Lushootseed grammar | Lushootseed grammar is the grammar of the Lushootseed language, a Central Coast Salish language of the Salishan language family.
Lushootseed can be considered a relatively agglutinating language, given its high number of morphemes, including a large number of lexical suffixes. Word order is fairly flexible, although it is generally considered to be verb-subject-object (VSO).
Lushootseed is capable of creating grammatically correct sentences that contain only a verb, with no subject or object. All information beyond the action is to be understood by context. This can be demonstrated in ʔuʔəy’dub '[someone] managed to find [someone/something]'. Sentences which contain no verb at all are also common, as Lushootseed has no copula. An example of such a sentence is stab əw̓ə tiʔiɫ 'What [is] that?'.
Despite its general status as VSO, Lushootseed can be rearranged to be subject-verb-object (SVO) and verb-object-subject (VOS). Doing so does not modify the words themselves, but may require the particle ʔə to mark the change. The exact nature of this particle is the subject of some debate.
The main reason for the change of word order in Lushootseed is the fact that a subject pronoun must come second in a sentence. Normally, in VSO word order, the subject comes second. However, if a zero copula is used, the word order is changed to object-subject to preserve the subject-pronoun-second rule. A similar scenario occurs with the negator xʷiʔ.
dxʷləbiʔ čəxʷ ʔu 'Are you Lummi?'
xʷiʔ čəd lədxʷləbiʔ 'I am not Lummi.'
Here, negation takes the first position, the subject pronoun takes the second, and 'Lummi' is pushed to the end of the sentence.
Prepositions in Lushootseed are almost entirely handled by one word, ʔal, which can mean 'on, above, in, beside, around' among a number of potential other meanings. They come before the object they reference, much like in English. Examples of this can be found in the following sentences:
Determiners usually come before a noun they belong to, and have two possible genders "masculine" (the default) and "feminine". However, in a sentence reordered to become SVO, such as sqʷəbayʔ ti ʔučalatəb ʔə tiʔiɬ wiw'su 'The dog is what the children chased' the determiner for sqʷəbayʔ 'dog' comes after the noun, instead of before it.
Gender distinction in Lushootseed primarily manifests in the addition of a feminine infix -s- within the determiner, following immediately after the first sound of the word. For example, tiʔiɬ 'that' becomes tsiʔiɬ 'that (feminine)'. The sequence [ts] is not spelled with c in these contexts.
Lushootseed has four subject pronouns: čəd 'I' (first-person singular), čəɬ 'we' (first-person plural), čəxʷ 'you' (second-person singular), and čələp 'you' (second-person plural). It does not generally refer to the third person in any way.
The subject pronoun always comes in the second position in the sentence (see #Word Order).
Almost all instances of a verb in Lushootseed (excluding the zero copula) carry a prefix indicating their tense and/or aspect. Below is a (non-exhaustive) list of these prefixes, along with their meanings and applications.
The prefix ʔəs- is one of the most common. It indicates an imperfective aspect-present tense (similar to English '-ing') for verbs that do not involve motion. More specifically, a verb may use ʔəs- if it does not result in a change of position for its subject. It is commonly known as a "state of being":
ʔəsƛ̕ubil čəd. 'I am feeling fine.' or 'I am in good health.'
If a verb does involve motion, the ʔəs- prefix is replaced with lə-:
ləƛ̕a čəd ʔálʔal. 'I'm going home.'
Completed or telic actions use the prefix ʔu-. Most verbs without ʔəs- or lə- will use ʔu-. Some verbs also exhibit a contrast in meaning between lə- and ʔu-, and only one of them is correct:
ʔusaxʷəb čəxʷ. 'You jump(ed).'
The verb saxʷəb literally means 'to jump, leap, or run, especially in a short burst of energy', and is correctly used with ʔu-. In contrast, the verb təlawil, which means 'to jump or run for an extended period of time', is used with lə-:
lətəlawil čəxʷ. 'You are jumping.'
Negation in Lushootseed takes the form of an adverb xʷiʔ 'no, none, nothing' which always comes at the beginning of the sentence that is to be negated. It is constructed in two possible ways, one for negatives of existence, and one for negatives of identity. If taking the form of a negative of identity, a proclitic lə- must be added to the sentence on the next adverb. If there are no further adverbs in the sentence, the proclitic attaches to the head word of the predicate, as in the sentence xʷiʔ čəxʷ sixʷ ləbakʷɬ 'Don't get hurt again'.
There are five possessive affixes, derived from the pronouns:
The third person singular -s is considered marginal and does not work with an actual lexical possessor.
Lushootseed has a wide variety of miscellaneous derivational affixes. Most of them apply to nouns to change their exact meaning, but several can change nouns to verbs or vice versa. | [

75,546,007 | Battle of Jadi Hanwati | The Battle of Jadi Hanwati took place on December 1, 1764. The Peshwa himself led the Maratha army as they advanced towards Haidar's camp with 54 artillery pieces. Eight guns were positioned on a small hill on the left side of Haidar's camp. Ismail Khan, one of Haidar's officers, captured Maratha's guns. However, Haidar sent another officer named Haji Muhammad to prevent the Marathas from recapturing them. He also asked the Portuguese to stand with their backs to the woods and not move onto the plain.
The Marathas rushed towards the captured guns, but Ismail Khan and the Portuguese commandant were killed along with their men. Haidar suffered heavy losses, around 2,000 men, and was himself injured in the battle. To avoid being captured or identified, he removed all his jewellery and fled to his camp. The battle lasted for approximately two hours. The Marathas emerged victorious and showed no mercy towards their enemies. One of Haidar's officers described their behavior as unusual since they usually spared their opponents if they surrendered their weapons. However, on this day, the Marathas did not show any mercy even after their enemies had died. They had elephants trample on their bodies and set fire to them.
In summary, during the battle of Jadi Hanwati, the Peshwa led the Maratha army in capturing eight guns from Haidar's camp. However, Haidar sent another officer to prevent their recapture, resulting in heavy losses for both sides. The Marathas showed no mercy towards their enemies after the battle ended. | [

75,546,056 | George J. Sicard | George J. Sicard (February 24, 1838 - August 26, 1904) was an American attorney who was a law partner of Grover Cleveland.
Sicard was born in New York City on February 24, 1838. He was the youngest son of prominent merchant Stephen Sicard (1795–1839) and Lydia Eliza (née Hunt) Sicard (1813–1888). Among his siblings were Stephen Sicard and Rear Admiral Montgomery Sicard. After the death of his father in 1839, his mother brought the family to Utica, New York, where her father, Montgomery Hunt, was the long-time cashier of the Bank of Utica.
His maternal uncle was Ward Hunt, Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals who was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States by President Ulysses S. Grant.

75,546,060 | Alzheimer's disease among East Asians | Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of people across the globe. It is also a topic of interest in the East Asian population, especially as the burden of disease increases due to aging and population growth. The pathogenesis of AD between ethnic groups is different. However, prior studies in AD pathology have focused primarily on populations of European ancestry and may not give adequate insight on the genetic, clinical, and biological differences found in East Asians with AD. Gaps in knowledge regarding Alzheimer's disease in the East Asian population introduce serious barriers to screening, early prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and timely intervention.
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is significant in East Asian countries compared to the global average, which has 667 cases per 100,000 people. Japan has the highest prevalence of AD in the world at 3,079 cases per 100,000 population. South Korea and China have 1119 and 924 cases per 100,000 people, respectively. China has the highest number of people with dementia in the world at 13.1 million cases. Women were found to have higher rates of AD, potentially due to higher estrogen levels. The prevalence is higher in older individuals and in rural areas.
In North America, the rates of Alzheimer's disease in Asian Americans were found to be similar to Non-Hispanic whites and lower compared to Black Americans and Hispanic Americans. Japanese Americans were found to have increased AD prevalence compared to other Asian American subgroups. In terms of trends, Japan has experienced a rapid increase in prevalence rates relative to the global average, from 772 cases per 100,000 in 1990 to 3029 cases per 100,000 in 2019. Japan is also expected to have the highest dementia-related death rates by 2040.
Age and genetics have consistently been the strongest predictors of dementia and AD. However, lifestyle factors and other co-morbidities can play a significant role in contributing to AD susceptibility.
Older age is a significant risk factor for dementia, with the rate of cognitive decline being tenfold greater in the last three years of life. Income, occupation, and education are associated with the risk of developing AD in East Asian populations. Higher education generally indicates lower risk of AD. More physical or unsafe workplace conditions are associated with increased risk of AD.
Smoking, low social activity, and low physical activity are risk factors for AD in East Asian populations. Vascular conditions such as high blood pressure are also linked to dementia later in life. A sedentary lifestyle or obesity are believed to contribute to dementia susceptibility. Specifically, lower body mass index (BMI) may contribute to a lower likelihood of dementia. A healthy diet high in fish, fruit, Vegetables, and legumes but lower in meat and dairy is associated with decreased risk of AD. Regular consumption of vegetable and fruit juices may decrease AD risk due to the intake of popyphenols. Abnormal levels of insulin and impaired glucose tolerance is connected to increased dementia susceptibility in East Asians. Poor early life environmental factors contribute to longer duration or more rapidly progressing AD later in life. Daytime sleepiness and sleep apnea may have a relationship with later cognitive decline and dementia. A study of Japanese Americans found that mid-life proteinuria and impaired renal function may be an independent predictor of late-life dementia.
Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and cancer are comorbidities in East Asian people with AD. In a review of AD patients in Taiwan, the co-prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and stroke was reported to range from 30.2% to 60.7%, 15.1% to 24.2%, and 10.8 to 13.7% respectively. A study of Korean AD patients identified elevated prevalence of hypertension (71.6% AD vs 55% control) and diabetes (44.9% AD vs 30.1% control) in AD patients compared to control patients. Depressive symptoms and diabetes were also more increased in cognitively impaired Chinese Americans compared to White Americans.
Alzheimer's disease is influenced by a multitude of contributing genetic factors. The heritability of AD is estimated to range from 58–79%, making the elucidation of the genetic determinants of disease a crucial component to understanding the pathology of AD in East Asians.
Genetic studies such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to scan the genomes of many individuals to identify genetic variations that may be associated with a certain disease or trait. GWAS in Alzheimer's disease patients have been able to identify a number of risk variants and genetic factors that are linked to disease. Prior genetic studies have been focused primarily on populations with European ancestry, which prevents a comprehensive understanding of AD in other ethnic groups. It is important for GWAS to be conducted across diverse populations because the genetic differences between ethnic groups may influence the underlying biology of AD and identify unique genetic determinants. Only seven GWAS have been conducted using East Asian populations to identify race-specific genetic factors and susceptibility loci associated with AD. These GWAS focused on using cohorts from China, South Korea, and Japan. Compared to GWAS in Caucasians, GWAS in East Asians are also much smaller and have revealed 26 AD-associated loci in total. In comparison, a single recent GWAS in European populations involved over a million individuals and have identified 38 susceptibility loci.
The genotype of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD. ApoE is a multifunctional protein that is involved in lipid transport and exists in several different forms or alleles.
The most common APOE alleles are the ε2, ε3, and ε4 alleles, which were discovered to each be associated with varying levels of risk for AD. The ε4 allele has been confirmed to be a major risk factor for AD whereas the ε2 allele has been shown to be protective. However, the effects of ApoE genotype on AD risk are different across ethnic groups. Notably, the ε4 allele has a stronger effect in East Asian populations compared to other populations. The regional prevalence estimates of ε4 allele carrier frequencies are lowest in Asia, compared to Northern Europe where the regional prevalence estimates are highest. The ApoE ε4 allele was shown to lead to an increased rate of cognitive function decline in Han Chinese in Taiwan.
Low frequency genetic variants linked to the pathophysiology of AD are important for elucidating disease etiology. Rare missense variants of ApoE may have differing prevalence in East Asians with AD. Recent research has focused on the Christchurch (rs121918393) and Jacksonville (rs199768005) variants, which appear to have protective effects against AD in Caucasians. However, these variants have not yet been identified in AD patients of Japanese ancestry, suggesting that these variants may be exclusive to Caucasians. Other ApoE variants that are detected only in East Asians have also been identified but they have not yet been linked to AD.
Mutations in APP (amyloid-beta precursor protein), PSEN1 (Presenilin-1), and PSEN2 (Presenilin-2) are known genetic causes of autosomal dominant forms of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD). APP encodes the precursor protein to amyloid-beta. Cleavage of APP by β-secretase and γ-secretase produces the pathogenic Aβ peptide in AD. PSEN1 and PSEN2 encode presenilin 1 and presenilin 2, which are major core components of the γ-secretase complex. There are over 400 mutations in these genes reported worldwide and classification of variants in these genes across ethnic groups is difficult. PSEN1 is the most frequently mutated and leads to the youngest age of onset, followed by APP, and subsequently, PSEN2. A small study of 200 early-onset AD patients in four East Asian countries found that 16% of patients presented pathogenic APP, PSEN1, or PSEN2 variants, 25% presented APP variants, 59% presented PSEN variants, and 16% presented PSEN2 variants. Over 40 mutations in PSEN1/PSEN2/APP have been found in Han Chinese patients with EOAD, with 31 mutations in PSEN1, 4 mutations in PSEN2, and 5 mutations in APP. The Chinese Familial AD Network, which enrolls 1330 patients in 404 pedigrees, found that 13.12% of pedigrees carry missense mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2.
Genetic variants of bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) gene have been shown to be significantly associated with Alzheimer's disease in East Asians. BIN1 is involved in endocytosis regulation and membrane remodeling, calcium homeostasis, DNA repair, cytoskeletal regulation, apoptosis, and inflammation. Importantly, BIN1 has been identified as a critical genetic susceptibility loci for late-onset AD and is believed to modulate the tau pathology pathway. Elevated BIN1 expression is associated with higher susceptibility for late-onset AD.
Three SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) variants (rs12989701, rs744373, and rs7561528) in the BIN1 locus have been widely reported to be strongly associated with late-onset AD in Caucasian patients. However, information on the risk profile of these SNPs in East Asians is missing or inconsistent across studies. For instance, studies concerning the rs12989701 polymorphism have been primarily conducted in Caucasian patients, with limited data from the East Asian population. Mutations in the other two SNPs, rs7561528 and rs744373, are reported to be generally associated with increased AD risk, although the results in East Asians are varied. A few studies in East Asians have failed to reliably replicate a significant association between these polymorphisms and AD risk due to small sample size. A 2012 study found no significant connection between rs7561528 or rs744373 and late-onset AD in patients of northern Han Chinese ancestry. Similarly, 2015 study identified no association between rs7561528 and sporadic AD in Han Chinese populations and a study in Japanese AD patients reported no significant association of rs744373 with late-onset AD. Conversely, a 2015 study identified a significant link between rs7561528 and sporadic AD in the Han Chinese population.
Meta-analysis of multiple independent studies provides a more comprehensive picture of the role of BIN1 polymorphisms in disease. A recent meta-analysis of 18 independent studies on rs7561528 in East Asians concluded that the A allele of this SNP is a protective factor against AD whereas the G allele confers elevated disease risk. Similarly, a 2013 meta-analysis of pooled samples from two studies found that the rs744373 polymorphism had a similar genetic risk in Caucasian and East Asian populations. Specifically, the AG and GG genotype of rs744373 is associated with increased AD risk.
SNPs found in ABCA7, or ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 7, have been associated with increased early-onset and late-onset AD risk. ABCA7 is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter protein that is important in the transport of lipids, cholesterol, apolipoprotein E (ApoE), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) across membranes. ABCA7 plays a role in the regulation of amyloid-β homeostasis including amyloid clearance and tau fibril formation. Functional interference of ABCA7 can lead to elevated amyloid-β production. In the Southern Chinese population, polymorphisms rs3764650 and rs4147929 were reported to result in increased susceptibility for AD in ApoE ε4 carriers. The rs3764650 variant is also associated with an earlier trajectory of cognitive decline in Han Chinese individuals in Taiwan.
Genetic studies have reported a connection between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and AD risk. The associated SNPs and genetic factors identified in East Asians are different compared to those found in other ethnic groups and can be an important early screening tool for AD in the East Asian population. GWAS in Japanese cohorts conducted in 2013 and 2015 discovered disease-associated SNPs near SORL1, CNTNAP2, SUDS3, FAM47E, and SCARB2. GWAS from Chinese cohorts identified SNPs in GCH1, APOC1, KCNJ15, LINC01413, RHOBTB3, GLRX, and other regions. In South Korea, two recent GWAS of ApoE ε4 carriers identified novel AD-risk variants near SORCS1, CHD2, CACNA1A, and LRIG1.
The regulation of monoaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmitters are relevant in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Specifically, polymorphisms in GCH1 (GTP cyclohydrolase I) and ChAT (choline acetyltransferase) affect AD susceptibility in East Asians. GTP cyclohydrolase I is an enzyme that synthesizes a protein tetrahydrobiopterin (THB) that necessary for monamine neurotransmitter synthesis. The SNP rs72713460 of GCH1 impacts monoamine neurotransmitter synthesis and leads to increased AD susceptibility in East Asians. Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is needed to generate acetylcholine from choline and acetyl COA. Inhibition of acetylcholine (Ach) breakdown has been used to treat AD. The rs3810950 polymorphism of ChAT was found to confer higher risk of AD in East Asians and may impact acetylcholine functionality.
The dynamics of amyloid-beta production and clearance are critically dysregulated in AD. Based on the amyloid cascade hypothesis, synthesized APP is transported to the cell surface and internalized by endocytosis for processing by α- or β- secretase, followed by γ-secretase. β- and γ-secretases cleave APP into Aβ in the amyloidogenic pathway whereas α- and γ-secretase inhibit Aβ generation in the non-amyloidogenic pathway. β-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is the β-secretase important for Aβ generation.
SNPs associated with AD risk have been identified on multiple genes involved in amyloid-β production and clearance. BIN1 and CD2AP work together in facilitating the endocytosis of APP and BACE1 into endosomes to produce amyloid-β. The rs744373 SNP of BIN1 and rs934940 SNP of CD2AP confers increased AD susceptibility in East Asians. FERMT2 (Kindlin-2) modulates APP metabolism and controls synaptic connectivity and axonal growth in a APP-dependent manner. The rs7143400 SNP of FERMT2 is associated with a higher odds ratio of AD risk in East Asians compared to Caucasians. Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3B) impacts the expression of BACE1, leading to effects on APP cleavage and amyloid-β deposition. The rs334558 AD risk SNP of BACE1 has a higher odds ratio of risk in Caucasians relative to East Asians. PICALM (phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein) regulates the formation of vesicles in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Reduction of PICALM leads to decreased BACE1 activity, endocytosis, and Aβ production. The rs3851179 polymorphism of PICALM, in association with the ε4 allele of ApoE, was significantly associated with a decreased risk of AD in a Korean population.
Vascular dysfunction is a contributor to Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology. Pathological pathways include blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, disrupted clearance of amyloid beta, and altered neuromuscular coupling. Multiple vascular processes are impacted by EXOC3L2 (Exocyst complex component 3-like 2) in East Asians with AD. The rs597668 SNP on EXOC3L2 is a protective polymorphism in East Asians. EXOC3L2 encodes a protein that is associated with an exocyst complex that regulates membrane dynamics. EXOC3L2 influences vascular processes by decreasing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Reduced VEGF leads to inhibition of angiogenesis and increased leucocyte adhesion, which results in obstructed cerebral blood flow. Additionally, reduced VEGF increases breakdown of the blood brain barrier by amyloid-beta via inhibition of endothelial cells. The resulting vascular dysfunction potentiates the deleterious effects of Alzheimer's disease.
The immune system plays an important role in AD pathogenesis. Neuroinflammation has been found to be increased in the presence of elevated amyloid-beta deposition and abnormal tau aggregates. Genetic mutations in immune-related genetic loci can also increase risk of AD via interference of normal immune function. The immune system is believed undergo dynamic alterations and become dysregulated during disease progression. In the East Asian population, multiple SNPs found in immune-related genes point to the role of immune system imbalance in AD.
Certain SNPs have been correlated with increased susceptibility for AD in East Asians. TOMM40 encodes a translocase protein on the outer mitochondrial membrane that is involved in the import of Aβ into the mitochondria. A number of SNPs on TOMM40 have been identified in East Asian AD patients and correlate with significantly increased susceptibility for disease. TOMM40 variants can lead to increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial function dysregulation. Similarly, Complement receptor type 1 (CR1) activation is deleterious to neurons because it inhibits microglia-mediated phagocytosis and stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the presence of amyloid-β. The CR1 rs6656401 polymorphism has a slightly higher correlation with AD risk in Asians (odds ratio 1.76) compared to Caucasians (odds ratio 1.28). KCNJ15 encodes the voltage-gated potassium channel Kir4.2 protein and is highly used in the immune system. The rs928771 SNP of KCNJ15 leads to increased blood levels of KCNJ15 in AD patients as well as elevated disease risk in East Asians. HLA-DRB1 (HLA class II histocompatibilty anteigen) is expressed on antigen-presenting cells and is involved in presenting peptides from extracellular proteins to T cells of the immune system. The rs9271192 polymorphism of HLA-DRB1 is correlated with slightly increased risk in East Asians and Caucasians. MTHFD1L (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP + dependent) 1-like protein) is correlated with higher disease susceptibility but not much is known about what role it plays in AD.
Protective polymorphisms in immune-related genes have also been identified in East Asians. DAPK1 (death-associated protein kinase) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates various cellular pathways including apoptosis and autophagy. The rs4878104 variant of DAPK has been found to be protective in both Asians and Caucasians. Reduction of DAPK1 decreases caspase activation and was found to reduce memory deficits in mice injected with amyloid-β. DAPK1 inhibition is also thought to reduce interleukin-18 (IL-18) production. IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine that is linked to increased levels of amyloid-β accumulation though alterations of the APP processing. The rs187238 variant of IL-18 is associated with more decreased risk of AD in East Asians, compared to Caucasians. CD33 (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 3) is a transmembrane receptor protein that controls microglial activation. In AD, it can be overactive in the presence of amyloid and contribute to excess neuroinflammation. East Asians that carry a T allele of rs3865444 on the CD33 gene exhibit decreased levels of CD33 and may have decreased AD susceptibility. Microglial inactivation due to CD33 inhibition results in decreased phagocytosis and cytokine release. This SNP does not have a protective effect in Caucasians. MS4A6A (Membrane Spanning 4-Domains A6A) is a member of the MS4A gene cluster and is important for immune cell activation. The rs610932 risk variant of MS4A6A is associated with increased levels of MS4A6A expression in patients with mild cognitive impairment and AD. High levels of MS4A6A expression is believed to have adverse effects in AD progression but limited research has been conducted on the exact role of MS4A6A in AD.
Social stigma associated with mental illness and lack of knowledge about AD prevent proper management of disease in East Asians. The misconception of AD as "insanity" is prevalent in East Asians as well as other ethnic groups. Patients and caregivers may be reluctant to seek medical care due to this negative perception. One study of elderly Korean American immigrants found that there was limited use of mental health services despite elevated rates of cognitive impairment and depression this community. Chinese patients were reported to seek care at later stages of dementia relative to American patients. Memory loss, forgetfulness, and mental deterioration are also perceived to be a normal part of aging in East Asian American groups. Multiple qualitative studies suggest this misconception is prevalent in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean Americans. The cultural normalization of mental decline in old age may mask the initial symptoms of disease and delay formal evaluation in AD patients. Feelings of shame linked to AD and limitations in AD-related knowledge are further accentuated in individuals with lower education levels and lower acculturation of AD.
A number of barriers result in disparities in adequate medical management and timely intervention for East Asians with AD or other dementias. Delayed intervention due to insufficient healthcare, cultural influences, stigma against mental illness, and lack of AD knowledge inhibit proper management of disease. Lack of accessible health care makes early recognition of AD symptoms challenging. Additionally, healthcare systems and social services may not be able to meet the rising demand of AD treatment caused by aging and population growth. Most significant is the growing burden of dementia in Japan, which is experiencing the fastest increase in AD prevalence in the world. In China, the healthcare system is poorly prepared to deliver new disease-modifying AD treatments, with wait times predicted to be over two years. The urban-rural divide in China is another infrastructure challenge for access to AD treatment. In rural areas of China, local community centers or village doctors may be the primary point of contact for medical care, but may not have the formal training to assess cognitive impairment.
Social and cultural factors may also be a barrier to medical care. The cultural norm of "saving face" in East Asians prevents public disclosure of negative family events, including AD. Lack of community discourse about AD may decrease awareness and knowledge about the early signs of disease. Prior exposure to AD from multiple sources, such as via family members, media, or friends, is important in increasing disease awareness and AD knowledge. Additionally, fear of social stigma makes it challenging for East Asian groups to seek proper medical services and poses a barrier for recruitment of East Asians in studies of mental illness. Chinese AD patients were found to delay seeking care until they exhibited severe neuropsychiatric symptoms compared to Caucasian patients. Elders in Asian American groups are not likely to be diagnosed with AD until later stages of disease. These patients were more likely to be at a more severe stage of dementia by the time they sought medical attention, which poses consequences for treatment options. Limited knowledge of AD results in delayed symptom recognition and poor disease management. In Korean Americans and Chinese Americans, lower levels of formal education and acculturation were shown to be linked to lower levels of AD knowledge and decreased awareness of AD-related resources. East Asians may interpret their mental health as a somatic issue and are less likely to use mental health services. Some level of folk wisdom and skepticism of the availability of effective therapies are also factors that limit treatment-seeking behavior.
The current research framework for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is based on the amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration (ATN) classification system. This framework relies on cerebrospinal fluid sampling, MRI imaging, and PET imaging. There is also interest in the use of blood-based biomarkers that may be more cost-effective and less invasive. Plasma measurements of amyloid-β, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) can be used to diagnose or predict the development of AD. Unfortunately, the studies highlighting the relationship between these biomarkers and future AD were performed primarily in Western patients. Recent research has focused on the diagnostic and predictive capacity of fluid biomarkers in the East Asian population. A study conducted in a Chinese population has shown that the combination of p-tau 181 and Aβ42 in plasma had excellent performance in diagnosing AD. Several studies since have determined that combinations of plasma biomarkers, including NfL, Aβ42, and p-tau in plasma, can predict AD prognosis 4.8–6 years prior to cognitive decline. Assessment of a combination of biomarkers has more predictive value than using just one biomarker. These studies show that the relationship between plasma biomarkers and AD is preserved in East Asian populations and similar to findings in European populations.
PET and MRI imaging are important diagnostic tools but East Asians and other ethnic groups are underrepresented in studies on imaging-based AD biomarkers. One large multisite study of patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia found that amyloid PET positivity rates were 7–12% lower in Asian individuals compared to White individuals. In China, amyloid PET is rarely performed due to costs, coverage, and availability. However, China is rapidly expanding its use of PET scanners. In 2023, Neuraceq (florbetaben F-18) was approved as the first PET imaging radiotracer targeting β-amyloid in China in response to recent approvals of promising AD treatments in the United States. Neuraceq obtained approval in the U.S. in 2014, and is one of three PET radiopharmaceuticals approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. | [

In the Southern Chinese population, polymorphisms rs3764650 and rs4147929 were reported to result in increased susceptibility for AD in ApoE ε4 carriers. The rs3764650 variant is also associated with an earlier trajectory of cognitive decline in Han Chinese individuals in Taiwan.",

The associated SNPs and genetic factors identified in East Asians are different compared to those found in other ethnic groups and can be an important early screening tool for AD in the East Asian population. GWAS in Japanese cohorts conducted in 2013 and 2015 discovered disease-associated SNPs near SORL1, CNTNAP2, SUDS3, FAM47E, and SCARB2. GWAS from Chinese cohorts identified SNPs in GCH1, APOC1, KCNJ15, LINC01413, RHOBTB3, GLRX, and other regions.

Specifically, polymorphisms in GCH1 (GTP cyclohydrolase I) and ChAT (choline acetyltransferase) affect AD susceptibility in East Asians. GTP cyclohydrolase I is an enzyme that synthesizes a protein tetrahydrobiopterin (THB) that necessary for monamine neurotransmitter synthesis. The SNP rs72713460 of GCH1 impacts monoamine neurotransmitter synthesis and leads to increased AD susceptibility in East Asians. Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is needed to generate acetylcholine from choline and acetyl COA. Inhibition of acetylcholine (Ach) breakdown has been used to treat AD. The rs3810950 polymorphism of ChAT was found to confer higher risk of AD in East Asians and may impact acetylcholine functionality.",

The rs744373 SNP of BIN1 and rs934940 SNP of CD2AP confers increased AD susceptibility in East Asians. FERMT2 (Kindlin-2) modulates APP metabolism and controls synaptic connectivity and axonal growth in a APP-dependent manner. The rs7143400 SNP of FERMT2 is associated with a higher odds ratio of AD risk in East Asians compared to Caucasians. Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3B) impacts the expression of BACE1, leading to effects on APP cleavage and amyloid-β deposition. The rs334558 AD risk SNP of BACE1 has a higher odds ratio of risk in Caucasians relative to East Asians. PICALM (phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein) regulates the formation of vesicles in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Reduction of PICALM leads to decreased BACE1 activity, endocytosis, and Aβ production. The rs3851179 polymorphism of PICALM, in association with the ε4 allele of ApoE, was significantly associated with a decreased risk of AD in a Korean population.",

Pathological pathways include blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, disrupted clearance of amyloid beta, and altered neuromuscular coupling. Multiple vascular processes are impacted by EXOC3L2 (Exocyst complex component 3-like 2) in East Asians with AD. The rs597668 SNP on EXOC3L2 is a protective polymorphism in East Asians. EXOC3L2 encodes a protein that is associated with an exocyst complex that regulates membrane dynamics. EXOC3L2 influences vascular processes by decreasing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Reduced VEGF leads to inhibition of angiogenesis and increased leucocyte adhesion, which results in obstructed cerebral blood flow. Additionally, reduced VEGF increases breakdown of the blood brain barrier by amyloid-beta via inhibition of endothelial cells. The resulting vascular dysfunction potentiates the deleterious effects of Alzheimer's disease.",

TOMM40 encodes a translocase protein on the outer mitochondrial membrane that is involved in the import of Aβ into the mitochondria. A number of SNPs on TOMM40 have been identified in East Asian AD patients and correlate with significantly increased susceptibility for disease. TOMM40 variants can lead to increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial function dysregulation. Similarly, Complement receptor type 1 (CR1) activation is deleterious to neurons because it inhibits microglia-mediated phagocytosis and stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the presence of amyloid-β. The CR1 rs6656401 polymorphism has a slightly higher correlation with AD risk in Asians (odds ratio 1.76) compared to Caucasians (odds ratio 1.28). KCNJ15 encodes the voltage-gated potassium channel Kir4.2 protein and is highly used in the immune system. The rs928771 SNP of KCNJ15 leads to increased blood levels of KCNJ15 in AD patients as well as elevated disease risk in East Asians. HLA-DRB1 (HLA class II histocompatibilty anteigen) is expressed on antigen-presenting cells and is involved in presenting peptides from extracellular proteins to T cells of the immune system. The rs9271192 polymorphism of HLA-DRB1 is correlated with slightly increased risk in East Asians and Caucasians.

DAPK1 (death-associated protein kinase) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates various cellular pathways including apoptosis and autophagy. The rs4878104 variant of DAPK has been found to be protective in both Asians and Caucasians. Reduction of DAPK1 decreases caspase activation and was found to reduce memory deficits in mice injected with amyloid-β. DAPK1 inhibition is also thought to reduce interleukin-18 (IL-18) production. IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine that is linked to increased levels of amyloid-β accumulation though alterations of the APP processing. The rs187238 variant of IL-18 is associated with more decreased risk of AD in East Asians, compared to Caucasians. CD33 (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 3) is a transmembrane receptor protein that controls microglial activation. In AD, it can be overactive in the presence of amyloid and contribute to excess neuroinflammation. East Asians that carry a T allele of rs3865444 on the CD33 gene exhibit decreased levels of CD33 and may have decreased AD susceptibility. Microglial inactivation due to CD33 inhibition results in decreased phagocytosis and cytokine release. This SNP does not have a protective effect in Caucasians. MS4A6A (Membrane Spanning 4-Domains A6A) is a member of the MS4A gene cluster and is important for immune cell activation. The rs610932 risk variant of MS4A6A is associated with increased levels of MS4A6A expression in patients with mild cognitive impairment and AD.

One study of elderly Korean American immigrants found that there was limited use of mental health services despite elevated rates of cognitive impairment and depression this community. Chinese patients were reported to seek care at later stages of dementia relative to American patients. Memory loss, forgetfulness, and mental deterioration are also perceived to be a normal part of aging in East Asian American groups. Multiple qualitative studies suggest this misconception is prevalent in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean Americans. The cultural normalization of mental decline in old age may mask the initial symptoms of disease and delay formal evaluation in AD patients.

Lack of accessible health care makes early recognition of AD symptoms challenging. Additionally, healthcare systems and social services may not be able to meet the rising demand of AD treatment caused by aging and population growth. Most significant is the growing burden of dementia in Japan, which is experiencing the fastest increase in AD prevalence in the world. In China, the healthcare system is poorly prepared to deliver new disease-modifying AD treatments, with wait times predicted to be over two years. The urban-rural divide in China is another infrastructure challenge for access to AD treatment. In rural areas of China, local community centers or village doctors may be the primary point of contact for medical care, but may not have the formal training to assess cognitive impairment.",

Lack of community discourse about AD may decrease awareness and knowledge about the early signs of disease. Prior exposure to AD from multiple sources, such as via family members, media, or friends, is important in increasing disease awareness and AD knowledge. Additionally, fear of social stigma makes it challenging for East Asian groups to seek proper medical services and poses a barrier for recruitment of East Asians in studies of mental illness. Chinese AD patients were found to delay seeking care until they exhibited severe neuropsychiatric symptoms compared to Caucasian patients. Elders in Asian American groups are not likely to be diagnosed with AD until later stages of disease. These patients were more likely to be at a more severe stage of dementia by the time they sought medical attention, which poses consequences for treatment options. Limited knowledge of AD results in delayed symptom recognition and poor disease management. In Korean Americans and Chinese Americans, lower levels of formal education and acculturation were shown to be linked to lower levels of AD knowledge and decreased awareness of AD-related resources. East Asians may interpret their mental health as a somatic issue and are less likely to use mental health services.

This framework relies on cerebrospinal fluid sampling, MRI imaging, and PET imaging. There is also interest in the use of blood-based biomarkers that may be more cost-effective and less invasive. Plasma measurements of amyloid-β, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) can be used to diagnose or predict the development of AD. Unfortunately, the studies highlighting the relationship between these biomarkers and future AD were performed primarily in Western patients. Recent research has focused on the diagnostic and predictive capacity of fluid biomarkers in the East Asian population. A study conducted in a Chinese population has shown that the combination of p-tau 181 and Aβ42 in plasma had excellent performance in diagnosing AD. Several studies since have determined that combinations of plasma biomarkers, including NfL, Aβ42, and p-tau in plasma, can predict AD prognosis 4.8–6 years prior to cognitive decline. Assessment of a combination of biomarkers has more predictive value than using just one biomarker. These studies show that the relationship between plasma biomarkers and AD is preserved in East Asian populations and similar to findings in European populations.",

In China, amyloid PET is rarely performed due to costs, coverage, and availability. However, China is rapidly expanding its use of PET scanners. In 2023, Neuraceq (florbetaben F-18) was approved as the first PET imaging radiotracer targeting β-amyloid in China in response to recent approvals of promising AD treatments in the United States.

] | Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of people across the globe. It is also a topic of interest in the East Asian population, especially as the burden of disease increases due to aging and population growth. The pathogenesis of AD between ethnic groups is different. However, prior studies in AD pathology have focused primarily on populations of European ancestry and may not give adequate insight on the genetic, clinical, and biological differences found in East Asians with AD. Gaps in knowledge regarding Alzheimer's disease in the East Asian population introduce serious barriers to screening, early prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and timely intervention. | 2023-12-12T16:50:34Z | 2024-01-01T00:41:39Z | [

75,546,062 | Annina Morosini | Annina Morosini, born Anna Sara Nicoletta Maria Rombo (Palermo 1864-1954), was an Italian noblewoman who was famous for her salons and her lovers.
She was one of three daughters born to Agostino Rombo, the director of the Bank of Italy and his wife Caroline Thorel who came from a family of wealthy bankers. Annina's two sisters, Sonia and Sofia passed away very young, plunging her mother into depression and making her focus all her time and energy on Morosini.
The family relocated from Palermo to Venice in the 1880s, where Annina's beauty as well as the wealth of the family made her appear as a very eligible bride. In May 1885 she married Michele (Gino) Morosini of the venetian Morosini family The wedding was a lavish affair attended by many members of the Venetian nobility. The pink wedding gown worn by the bride was made by the Worth fashion house.
Her husband's family was seen as one of the ancient noble families of Venice, but they were poor in wealth. Nevertheless through Annina's dowry and her husband's illustrious family it was seen as a splendid match. The newlyweds made their home at the luxurious palazzo Ca' d'Oro and in 1886 had a daughter named Morosina.
But while Morosini threw herself into Venetian society, her husband was not interested in that life and was a reserved and shy person. The couple drifted apart and the separation became final when her husband moved to Paris to pursue his own interests.
Morosini became a lady in waiting to Elena, Queen of Italy.
She then lived at the Palazzo da Mula on the Grand Canal and was called the "uncrowned Queen of Venice,” "La Divina" and "The Last Dogaress" because her husband's family had produced four doges and because of her being a leader of Venetian society. The countess knew many luminaries of her day like Rilke, Proust Stravinsky and,Joyce.
She inherited the Villa Carlotta in Silea in 1913 from her father.
Her daughter Morosina married Luigi Nicolis dei Conti di Robilant e Cereaglio, the son of statesman Charles di Robilant.
Several artists like Lino Selvatico, Ralph Curtis and CCherubino Kirchmayr and Vittorio Matteo Corcos painted her. She was also a friend of the writer Gabriele D'Annunzio and an intimate friend of the emperor Wilhelm II as well as Amedeo of Savoy, Duke of Aosta, the brother of Umberto I. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was aquainted with her but complained that she kept her rooms dark and almost smothered with scent.
There is an anecdote whch tells of her meeting with her rival socialite Luisa Casati who said to the countess: "When I was a child my father already told me about your famous beauty." To which Annina replied: "Without going so far back, my dear, your husband, every evening, spoke to me about yours"; the implication being that they were on intimate terms.
Morosini also attended the air show at Brescia and is mentioned briefly by Kafka in his short story The Aeroplanes at Brescia.
In the 1930s the countess was seen as the leader of the social faction that represented the old noble families of Venice.
She continued on as a grand dame of society but rarely left her palazzo until her death in 1954 of a stroke. | [

75,546,146 | October 15 Coalition | The October 15 Coalition (Polish: Koalicja 15 października) has been the ruling government of Poland since December 13, 2023. It is a big tent coalition that includes various political parties. The coalition was formed after the parliamentary election held on October 15.
The prime minister–designate Donald Tusk coined the term in his speech to the Sejm, announcing the new government's plans after a vote of no confidence for Mateusz Morawiecki.
Prior to assuming power, the parties opposing the ruling Law and Justice-led United Right (with the exception of the far-right Confederation) were referred to as the Democratic Opposition (Polish: Demokratyczna opozycja) in the lead up to the 2023 elections.
The firmly left wing Left Together party originally planned to enter the coalition, together with the New Left party as part The Left coalition. However due to a number of key issues being left out of the coalition agreement, the party has opted to stay out of government but has also vowed to support Tusk's government in votes of confidence. | [

75,546,170 | GM 9T50 transmission | The General Motors Hydra-Matic 9T50 and similar 9T45, 9T60, and 9T65 are part of the 9TXX family of electronic automatic transmissions with nine forward speeds for light-duty transversely-mounted applications. It was designed and manufactured by General Motors, equipped on automobiles starting with the 2017 model year; the 9TXX family was developed from an earlier joint GM–Ford 6-speed automatic transmission. Ford sells derivatives of the 9TXX with one forward speed removed as the 8F family.
Ford and GM announced a joint venture to share automatic transmission designs in April 2013: GM would adopt a 10-speed longitudinal transmission primarily designed by Ford, and in exchange, Ford would adopt the GM 9TXX 9-speed transverse transmission. Ford declined to use the GM 9TXX, however, as the promised improvement in fuel consumption was less than expected, and removed one gear, resulting in the Ford 8F family.
During the development of the 9TXX, GM received 60 new patents while building 800 prototypes.
The last two digits of the model number indicate maximum GVWR and towing capacity, with higher numbers having a larger capacity.
The 9T50 and similar Ford 8F35 both share components with the GM 6T40 and Ford 6F35.
In December 2020, GM initiated a program to repair or replace 9T65 transmissions which were causing issues. Repairs were limited to external components only. The program applied to vehicles that had less than 18,000 mi (29,000 km) and had been delivered within the past 18 months. A recall was issued in March 2023 for certain crossover vehicles which may have a transmission that was assembled using an incorrectly sized sun gear. | [

75,546,195 | Dev.D (soundtrack) | Dev.D is the soundtrack to the 2009 film of the same name directed by Anurag Kashyap. A modern-day adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Bengali novel Devdas, the film stars Abhay Deol, Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin as the principal characters, Dev, Paro and Chandramukhi, based on the novel. The album featured 18 tracks composed by Amit Trivedi with lyrics for the songs written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Shellee, Anusha Mani, and Shruti Pathak, and consisted of a variety of genres.
The soundtrack was released by T-Series on the New Year's Eve (31 December 2008) in digital platforms, followed by a CD release on 7 January 2009. It received critical acclaim for the compositions, blending of various genres, lyrics, instrumentations and several aspects, and has been called as one of the best Hindi film albums ever due to its experimental approach. With the success of the album, Trivedi established prominence in the Hindi film music scene becoming one of the leading composers, and won National Film Award for Best Music Direction in 2010.
Dev.D was Trivedi's first project he signed. However, as the film experienced production delays and shelving, Kashyap recommended Trivedi's name to Aamir (2008), another film produced by UTV Spotboy, which marked his debut film, and Dev.D being the second to be released. The music blends several genres ranging from folk, rock, street band, metal and world music, to different cultures which consisted of Rajasthani, Punjabi, Awadhi and Europop. Dev's character consisted of psychedelic rock and hard rock music, whereas Paro's character featured several Punjabi and Awadhi songs, and Chanda's character mostly consisted of Western classical music. Dev.D does not feature lip sync songs and would be played in background as montages.
The popular track "Emosanal Attyachar" was composed in a specific way pertaining to his vision of a brass wedding band style. While composing the song, Trivedi thought that he and Bhattacharya would sing the song themselves and present the version to Kashyap. Then, they planned to bring on qawwali singers to record the track. But Kashyap liked their scratch recording of the track. Bhattacharya felt upset as he was not singing in the normal voice, but in a caricatured way with the song being tweaked a little bit. He was also concerned about his ambitions of becoming a singer and with this debut, they would not get work in the music industry. Hence they credited the song under the pseudonym bandmaster Rangeela and Rasila from Himachal Pradesh. This was revealed by Trivedi nearly a decade. He was also being critical of the song as he felt that it won't work and would be remembered for 6–7 days, but contrarily, it emerged as the biggest chartbuster and breakthrough hit for Trivedi.
The soundtrack was met with critical acclaim. Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama gave four stars and wrote "Amit Trivedi gives an excellent start to the year by presenting to audience the music of Dev D, which brings in so much variety to proceedings that one just feels truly content. These are the kind of songs that should play for bits and piece in the narrative of Dev D and add great value to it [...] Just pick this one quickly from the shelves; they don't make such albums in dozens!" In a five-star review, Rahul Bhatia of Hindustan Times described it as "the most radical mainstream Bollywood album ever". Sumit Bhattacharya of Rediff.com rated three stars saying "pick up this CD — which zigzags through genres and boasts of some deliciously cynical lyrics and treatment — if you're in the mood to experiment. But be warned, there's no saccharine sweetness." Karthik Srinivasan of Bangalore Mirror reviewed the album saying "Such abundance of songs in a soundtrack may end up in a Saawariya’esque tedium; or they can combine to make a brilliantly thematic compilation, like in Dev.D". He later re-reviewed the album in Milliblog praising Trivedi as "the new A. R. Rahman".
Revisiting the music album post-decade, Devarsi Ghosh of Scroll.in wrote "At a time when Hindi film music is stuck in a bottomless pit, it is safe to say that Dev.D had one of the last great soundtracks. Almost nothing that has come after can measure up to its controlled madness. The Dev.D album is the successor of AR Rahman’s clutter-breaking work in Roja (1992) and Thiruda Thiruda (1993)." Utkarsh Shrivatsava of Firstpost wrote "Throwing in Rajasthani-rock with a sorrowful ballad along with some smooth lounge fusion, Trivedi worked his magic to produce a revolutionary album, one which would (and does) stand alone as a piece of art."
Standup comedian, lyricist, writer and director Varun Grover, wrote a column for India Today listing ten evergreen albums from Hindi film music, included Dev.D. Grover described it as a "soundtrack that careens playfully from Dixieland to edgier tones". The soundtrack topped the "Top 20 Bollywood Soundtracks since 2020" listed by Tatsam Mukherjee in his column for HuffPost, calling it as "the finest album in Bollywood since 20 years". Vipin Nair ranked the album at number 21 on "100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks" in his column for Film Companion. | [

75,546,257 | Little & Lion | Little & Lion is a 2017 young adult novel by Brandy Colbert. The novel is about a sixteen-year-old bisexual teen dealing with her brother's recent bipolar disorder diagnosis and her own sexuality.
Little & Lion won the 2018 Stonewall Book Award.
Little & Lion was well received by critics, including starred reviews from Booklist, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Kirkus Reviews, and School Library Journal.
On behalf of Booklist, Sarah Hunter said the novel was "superbly written" and highlighted how, "as the plot bounces back and forth in time, Colbert juggles all the moving parts expertly, handily untangling Suzette’s complicated feelings about herself and her relationships and gradually illuminating pithy moments of discovery".
Kirkus similarly highlighted how the novel's "engrossing present-tense narration intertwines with sporadic—but pertinent—flashback chapters", as well as how "Colbert [...] sensitively confronts misconceptions about mental illness, bisexuality, and intersectional identity".
The Bulletin's Melanie Kirkwood also discussed Colbert's writing skill, highlighting how she "weaves the intricacies of adolescence with the sensitivities of family and friends adjusting to loved ones’ mental health diagnoses".
In a review for the Chicago Tribune, Christine Heppermann wrote, "Brandy Colbert has the ability to convey the experiences of modern teen life with sensitivity, candy and grace."
Writing for the Austin American-Statesman, Sharyn Vane called Little & Lion a "keenly observed coming-of-age tale".
Publishers Weekly noted that "although love and sexuality are important to the story, its core is Suzette’s feelings of responsibility for Lionel and uncertainty about how to help him. Colbert [...] powerfully depicts the difficulties that mental illness presents not just for those diagnosed but for the people around them." They critically added, "While the characters occasionally feel slightly idealized", Little & Lion is "a moving and well-realized examination of secrecy, trust, and intimacy".
Shelf Awareness's Sarah Hannah Gómez called Colbert's depiction of bipolar disorder "realistic" and "nuanced" and highlighting how "Suzette's coming to terms with her bisexuality and Lionel's bipolar disorder are given the gravity and time they deserve without pat outcomes".
The Horn Book Magazine's Katie Bircher also reviewed the novel.
Little & Lion is a Junior Library Guild book.
BuzzFeed, Kirkus Reviews, and Tablet named it one of the best young adult novels of 2017. Booklist also included it on their 2017 Editors' Choice: Books for Youth list.
In 2018, the American Library Association included it on their Best Fiction for Young Adults list and Rainbow List.
Little & Lion won the 2018 Stonewall Book Award for Mike Morgan & Larry Romans Children's & Young Adult Literature. | [

75,546,315 | Margaret Currie Neilson Lamb | Margaret Currie Neilson Lamb FRCN (1907–1992) was the first nurse to chair the General Nursing Council in Scotland.
Lamb was born in Kincardine-on-Forth in Fife in 1907, her father was in the army and died when she was a child. Her mother later moved the family to Dundee where she remarried and Lamb spent her childhood, attending the Harris Academy until she was 15. She had wanted to become a teacher but could not afford to, so worked towards becoming a sister tutor instead.
Lamb trained as a nurse at the Dundee Royal Infirmary, registering in 1934. She worked as a staff nurse in the Dundee Royal Infirmary before training as a midwife, qualifying in Dundee and registering as a midwife in 1936.
She then became a night sister in the Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital Buckhaven, Fife, which at that time was local colliery hospital. Her next post was at the Barshaw Hospital, Paisley where she gained midwifery experience. She then went to the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow as a Sister Tutor where she stayed until 1946. Initially she was not qualified as a Nurse Tutor, but gained a Diploma in Nursing from University of London via a correspondence course, and subsequently became Principal of the Southern's nursing course.
Lamb became Assistant Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scottish Board at the end of 1946 and was living in Edinburgh. In 1950 she began to develop the RCN Scotland educational activities.
In 1952 Lamb took a study break from the RCN where she had become Secretary to the RCN Scottish Board. Lamb went to the University of Chicago as Scotland's first Rockefeller fellow. She spent 15 months there and was awarded the Certificate of Academic studies in Sociology at the University of Chicago.
In 1955 Lamb's work on developing nurse education was recognised when she was appointed Education Officer of the Scottish Board of the Royal College of Nursing. She featured prominently in the negotiations which led to the inception of the Nursing Studies, University of Edinburgh in 1956. She was a member of the Steering Committee for the Experiment in Nurse Training conducted at Glasgow Royal Infirmary from 1956 to 1961. Lamb was also a member of the Nursing and Midwifery Sub-Committee of the South-Eastern Regional Hospital Board, Edinburgh and as a member of the Board of Management for Edinburgh Northern Hospitals.
Lamb became a member of the General Nursing Council in 1960 and its Vice Chair in 1963. In 1964 Lamb became the first nurse to become Chair of the General Nursing Council in Scotland.
In 1964 Lamb was a member of the influential Platt Committee on Nursing Education, led by Harry Platt which published in 1964 and 1965. Lamb retired from the RCN in 1966.
In 1976 Lamb was in the first cohort to be awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Nursing, FRCN, alongside nursing luminaries Barbara Fawkes, Catherine Hall (nurse), Winifred Hector, Jean McFarlane, Baroness McFarlane of Llandaff, Doreen Norton, Juanita Bennett Rule OBE, Hilda Marjorie Simpson, and Elizabeth Elaine Wilkie.

75,546,377 | Moenai Hai | 燃えない灰 (Moenai Hai) is a studio album by Japanese experimental band The Gerogerigegege, released in 2016. It was the band's first release since the 2001 Saturdaynight Big Cock Salaryman EP.
The album was recorded between 2014 and 2015, though not entirely written during this period; the second track, ゲロゲリゲゲゲ / The Gerogerigegege, is a rerecording of a piece that previously appeared in the 1986 release The Gero-P as We Got Normal.
Unlike many of the band's previous records, 燃えない灰 (Moenai Hai) is less focused on noise and is mostly made up ambient and "treasure/trash" recordings, as Juntaro Yamanouchi refers to in the liner notes, also specifying that they are "not field recording".
The album was released after a long period of silence from the band since their previous release in 2001, while their last full-length album before 燃えない灰 (Moenai Hai), Hell Driver, came out in 1999.
Little was known regarding the status of the band during this time. Rumors circulated about the whereabouts of Yamanouchi and Gero 30, the only other consistent member. In a supposed interview Yamanouchi gave in 2001, he said that Gero 30 "had been in a hospital for a very long time".
Gero 30's current conditions are still unknown; no Gerogerigegege release containing new material since Saturdaynight Big Cock Salaryman lists him in the credits or liner notes as a contributor.
Moenahi Hai received two reviews from different staff members of Sputnikmusic. One rated it 3.3/5, describing it as "a compelling reflection of Juntaro Yamanouchi’s absence", and as the band "trying for an uncertain audience, with an uncertain message, for uncertain response, and no recourse". The other review, published several months later, described it in comparison to their earlier work as "still uncompromising", while noting the lack of the humour that had previously characterized the project. It described it as "a testament to resilience, and the plummeting depths of misery", rating it 3.5/5. Heathen Harvest described it as an album that "goes beyond music; hell, it goes beyond everything". French webzine XSilence.net described Juntaro Yamanouchi's period of inactivity as "not in vain", and described Moenai Hai as an "artistic metamorphosis", rating it 17/20.
Seattle University radio station KXSU featured it as a staff pick for one of the top albums of 2016. | [

75,546,387 | Mortimer Rogoff | Mortimer Alan Rogoff (May 2, 1921-August 1, 2008) – was an American inventor, businessman, and author as well as an amateur photographer and radio operator. He is recognized for his work in spread spectrum technology which is the technology that modern cell phones and GPS systems are based on. He is also considered the grandfather of the electronic navigation chart.
Rogoff was born in Brooklyn, New York. He earned his B.S.E.E. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1943 and his M.S.E.E. from Columbia University in 1948. While at Rensselaer he was a member of Kappa Nu fraternity and the Features Editor for the student newspaper. During the World War II, he enlisted in the United States Navy and worked on developing radio communication and aerial navigation systems. One of the techniques he developed was undetectable by Axis forces because its power was below that of the background noise and its frequency varied in random ways. This secure transmission was the beginning of spread spectrum technology which would become the basis for GPS and CDMA cellular telephone systems. Although he was never able to patent the technology because it was a military secret he did get some recognition for it almost forty years later when he received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Pioneer Award in 1981.
Rogoff worked for twenty-two years (1946 to 1968) for ITT Laboratories in New Jersey. In 1958 he became their deputy director of Engineering. He was Vice President of ITT Laboratories from 1962 to 1963. From 1963 to 1968 he was promoted to the corporate staff where he became head of European operations. In 1968 he left ITT to work for the Diebold Group where he became an Executive Vice President.
After leaving the Diebold Group he founded several technology and automation businesses, including his own consulting firm, and Teletext Communications Corporation. In the later 1970s he was a Principal with Booz Allen Hamilton. In 1979, his book ‘’Calculator Navigation’’ was published. This book demonstrated practical methods for calculating precise ship locations using radio navigation with a consumer calculator.
In 1981 he founded a new company, Navigation Sciences Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland. With this company he patented a method for marine navigation that combined radar maps with electronic charts in 1986. This was a major advancement in field. Today, this system is known as the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). Rogoff had seen the need for a new charting system in 1968 from his apartment at 180 East End Avenue in New York City. From there he saw a boating accident where a life was lost and decided there had to be a way to automate navigation.
Rogoff then became of member of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) sub-committee on Safety of Navigation, a representative to the International Electrotechnical Commission, and became the chairman of the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services Special Committee 109 on Electronic Charts. He was able to use his influence on these boards to push through a proposal of ECDIS standards in 1989 where none has been before. As his friend Giuseppe Carnevali said, “Although nobody could argue against the need for a standard, no one was ready to endorse one; however, nobody was brave enough to oppose it.” A Test Bed project on these proposals was conducted by the United States Coast Guard. The amended standards were accepted by the IMO in November, 1995.
In 2000 he was named as a Fellow of the Institute of Navigation. He was also a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. During this time he was also president of the Navigational Electronic Charts System Association.
In 1979, he moved to Washington, D.C. and bought a home in Nantucket, Massachusetts. He married Sheila Zunser in 1943 and they were together for sixty-five years. They had three daughters: Louisa Thompson, Alice Rogoff, and Julia Peach. His sister was sociologist Natalie Rogoff Ramsøy of the University of Oslo. He was a member of the Cosmos Club and President of The Navigational Electronic Chart System Association (NECSA). He was a very good amateur photographer and liked amateur radio (call sign W2EE). He died in Nantucket from bladder cancer.

The amended standards were accepted by the IMO in November, 1995.",

75,546,397 | 2028 European Women's Handball Championship bidding process | The 2028 European Women's Handball Championship bidding process entails the bids for the 2028 European Women's Handball Championship. The winners were Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The bidding timeline was as follows:
On 11 May 2021 it was announced that the following nations sent in an official expression of interest:
On 20 October the final bids were presented.
Having first stating an interest as two separate bids (Denmark and Norway and a Swedish solo bid) the Scandinavians decided to all bid for an EHF Euro together for the first time ever for EHF Euro, under the slogan Scandinavia Connect. Their bids' aim is to use innovation and modern-day technologies to help Handball have a bright future.
The Swedish Handball Federation president, Frederik Rapp, stated “the commitment to finding sustainable solutions across all industries and areas of life is very clear in all of Scandinavia. To connect the Scandinavian approach and experience in sustainability with European handball is so valuable. Finding more sustainable solutions for future events could be a real game-changer for the future of our sport”.
While the Danish counterpart, Per Bertelsen said “We believe we can build on the positive momentum we see in our sport. Together, we can deliver a world-class event that will be a true celebration for European handball”.
The main round would be held in Oslo or Trondheim in Norway and either Copenhagen or Herning in Denmark. The final weekend would be in the Telenor Arena in Oslo, marking the first time Norway has hosted the final of the EHF Women's Euro (they were going to host the final in 2020, but withdrew altogether due to Covid-19). Every other venue would host preliminary round matches.
These are the following 9 venues included in the Scandinavian bid:
Denmark
Norway
Sweden
Venue that is no longer part of the bid:
As only the Scandinavian bid remained it was unanimously selected at the 14th EHF Extraordinary Congress on 20 November 2021. | [

The Block was founded by Mike Dudas at the beginning of 2018. It raised $4 million from venture capital firms including Greycroft, Pantera Capital, BlockTower Capital and Bloomberg Beta.
In 2020, Mike Dudas stepped down and Michael McCaffrey became CEO, having taken an undisclosed loan of $12 million from Alameda Research to buy out other investors and all former employees.
Over the next two years, McCaffrey took two more loans from Alameda Research. One for $15 million to finance the ongoing operations of The Block and another for $16 million to purchase personal real estate in the Bahamas.
After Alameda Research went bankrupt and McCaffrey’s undisclosed loans totaling $43 million were revealed in December 2022, McCaffrey resigned and Bobby Moran, then CRO of The Block, became Interim CEO in November 2022. Moran said that no employee, apart from McCaffrey, knew about the loans from Alameda Research.
In March 2023, Larry Cermak, prior 6' 10" starting center , became CEO and the company laid off a third of its staff.
In November 2023, The Block sold more than an 80% stake to Singapore-based Foresight Ventures in a $56 million deal at a $70 million valuation. | [

75,546,484 | Lea Noemi | Lea Noemi, also known as Lea Eisenberg (1883–1973) was a Yiddish actress, who performed at the Yiddish Art Theater alongside Maurice Schwartz.
Lea Noemi was born on November 10, 1883.
In the 1930s Noemi appeared in two Yiddish films made by Edgar G. Ulmer. She played the role of Gitl in Green Fields (1936), directed by Ulmer with Jacob Ben-Ami, and the role of Mariashe in The Singing Blacksmith (1938), directed by Ulmer alone.
Noemi played the title role in a New York stage production of Mirele Efros. Her New York Times obituarist claimed that she also reprised this role in Josef Berne's' 1939 film adaptation of Mirele Efros, though other sources suggest that Berta Gersten took the title role in the film.
In the 1950s Noemi acted in Deeds and Dreams, an Israeli comedy, in a performance at the New York Jewish Community Center sponsored by the Workmen's Circle.
Noemi married the sculptor Abraham Eisenberg (died 1959). She died on November 6, 1973, at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City. | [

75,546,535 | OGLE-2012-BLG-0950Lb | OGLE-2012-BLG-0950Lb is a sub-Saturn (super-Neptune)-type planet 2,600 parsecs (8,500 ly) away with 39 or 35 Earth masses. This type of planet was once thought to be extremely rare because of runaway gas accretion, which would create a gap between 4 and 8 Earth radii or 20 and 80 Earth masses, peaking around 32-64 Earth masses. The planet is 2.6 AU from its star. It is likely near-impossible to know much else about the planet's properties (or its star's) because it was detected by gravitational microlensing. The mass of the host star is approximately 0.56 solar masses. This exoplanet was the first to have its mass found out using only microlens parallax and lens flux.
According to microlensing and Kepler data, analogues to this world should be common, showing that our Solar System is not necessarily a perfect model for planetary formation and the runaway gas accretion model may be incorrect or incomplete. This has implications for habitability because gas/ice giants like Jupiter and Neptune greatly influenced the Earth's water content (see Grand Tack hypothesis).
Sub-Saturns have a wide range of makeups, from puffy planets to large-core worlds. With a radius of 6.5 Earth radii (predicted based on mass-radius relationships), the density would be 0.87 (39 Earth masses) or 0.7 g/cm (35 Earth masses), implying a Saturn-like composition closer to a standard gas giant than an ice giant.

75,546,556 | Finding Yvonne | Finding Yvonne is a 2018 young adult novel by Brandy Colbert. The novel is about a privileged teenager deciding what to do with her future when she unexpectedly becomes pregnant.
Finding Yvonne follows Yvonne, a high school senior living in Los Angeles who lives with her single father, a high-end chef. Although she has considered herself a violinist since her childhood, the identity is slipping away from her as she must choose between attending a music conservancy to become a professional musician or select an unknown career path. She also misses her mother, who left her family when Yvonne was young, and struggles to choose between two love interests.
On behalf of School Library Journal, Francisca Goldsmith wrote that Finding Yvonne "seems underdeveloped" and "lack[s] the spark of energy of Little & Lion", which Colbert had published in 2017. Goldsmith explains, "The story is littered with only partially realized, and thus frustrating, symbolism and less-than-credible turns. By the end of the novel, readers will understand that Yvonne's father is depressed, but it takes a long time to get to that realization [...] The nuances of passing and racial erasure in the contemporary African American community is one area handled here with grace and cogency".
Conversely, Publishers Weekly argued that "Colbert [...] delivers another emotionally layered story". They indicated that "Yvonne’s character is steady and compelling" and that "Colbert shows a clear knack for secondary characters".
Deborah Stevenson, writing for The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, similarly highlighted how Colbert "credibly constructs a young Black woman negotiating complicated family dynamics" and called Yvonne "a compelling protagonist" who will "speak to readers thrown by the lack of certainty in their own futures".
Booklist also reviewed the novel.
Finding Yvonne is a Junior Library Guild book.
In 2018, the New York Public Library named Finding Yvonne one of the year's best books for teens, and the audiobook received an Earphone Award from AudioFile. The following year, it was a CCBC Choices and Amelia Bloomer Book List selection. | [

75,546,614 | Torture of slaves in the United States | Torture of slaves in the United States was fairly common, as part of what slavers would likely have claimed was necessary discipline of slaves in the United States.
Accounts of torture come from both slavers and the enslaved, although accounts from the formerly enslaved were historically mistrusted or discounted. In one famous such case, retold in a reconsideration of the WPA Slave Narratives by historian Rebecca Onion, "In Virginia, Eudora Ramsay Richardson, the state director, refused to believe a story that Roscoe Lewis, the director of that state's Negro Writers Unit (and a professor at the Hampton Institute), recorded during an interview with ex-slave Henrietta King. King told Lewis that she had taken some candy at age eight or nine, and that her slaveholder had punished her by holding her head under a rocking chair while she whipped her. The incident had resulted in a crushed jawbone and permanent disfigurement. (King said the violence gave her 'a false face...What chilluns laugh at an' babies gits to cryin' at when dey sees me.') Disbelieving Lewis' account, Richardson went to King's home to fact-check it, thinking it was a 'gross exaggeration.' She found instead that “[King] looks exactly as Mr. Lewis describes her and she told me, almost word for word the story that Mr. Lewis relates.'"
In the testimony of Peter of the scourged back he mentions "salt brine, which Overseer put in my back." This practice, sometimes called salting, was attested in many accounts of slave torture reported over many decades. Other substances, including turpentine, hot-pepper juice, and dripping candle wax, were also used. An interview with a man named Andrew Boone for the WPA's Slave Narratives project in the 1930 matter-of-factly described the practice: "By dis time de blood sometimes would be runnin' down dere heels. Den de next thing was a wash in salt water strong enough to hold up an egg. Slaves wus punished dat way fer runnin' away an' sich." In an 1864 article about Nathan Bedford Forrest, a "Knoxville correspondent" of the New-York Tribune described whippings at the jail conducted by Bedford and John Forrest, including salting, as well as the secret burial of an enslaved man who had been whipped to death with a "trace chain doubled for the purpose of punishment."
There was a form of whipping called hand sawing: "Jones figured that 'hand-sawing' probably meant 'a beating administered with the toothed-edge of a saw.'" In November 1838, J. R. Long reported that a slave who had runaway from his plantation had been caught. He added: "I gave him a real whipping and hand sawing and he has been a fine negroe ever since. I told him he might run off if he chosed and I would knock out one of his jaw teeth and brand him and I intend to stick to my promise."
There are also reports of a practice called cat-hauling, in which a cat's claws were the means of inflicting pain.
In addition to whipping by owners and overseers, at least two slave traders are said to have engaged in systematic torture, reserving flogging rooms in their slave jails for this purpose: Theophilus Freeman of New Orleans, and the slavers of Poindexter & Little, where the lashes were administered by "Uncle Billy."
American slaves were commonly chained and restrained by various means. A fugitive slave named John or Jack was put in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi jail in 1850; when he was captured he had an iron collar with bell attached. The Bullock Museum in Texas holds a belled slave collar. The Henry Ford holds a hooked collar used on slaves; "Slaves known for running away might have had to wear an iron collar like this, for punishment or to prevent them from running away again. The hooks caught on bushes or tree limbs, causing a violent jerking to the individual's head and neck." A runaway slave, named Henry (Hal for short) was picked up in Murfreesboro, Tennessee at which time he "had on his wrists a pair of negro traders' hand cuffs broken." A runaway slave ad placed in a New Orleans newspaper in 1839 mentioned that the missing man, "WILLIAM, or BILL, a cook by trade...had a chain to his leg when he left the City Hotel, Common Street." In Slave Life in Georgia John Brown described accompanying Bob Freeman when he took prisoners to and from the blacksmith to have shackles put on and removed.
According to historian Michael Tadman, "Persistently troublesome slaves were often to be identified by whip marks, while reclaimed runaways were often identifiable by brandings, by cropped ears, or by the absence of front teeth." For example a black man arrested in Alabama in 1839 had "a small piece out of each of his ears." Branding of enslaved people was known. For example in 1832, a Mississippi county sheriff described a fugitive slave in his jail as "branded on the forehead with something like LB." A man named Frank was branded on both cheeks "which is plain to be seen when said negro is newly shaved." News reports of 1847 had it that an Englishman living at Cape Girardeau had branded a man named Reuben on the face with the words "A slave for life."
Harriet Beecher Stowe described an escaped preacher who had been branded on both breasts and had toes cut off on both feet.
Sexual cruelty is documented: The 1853 case of Humphreys v Utz in the Louisiana Supreme Court awarded civil damages to a Madison Parish plantation owner whose overseer nailed a man's penis to a bedstead and then allegedly whipped him until he ripped his penis off the nail. The man, who was called Ginger Pop or Bob, was about 30 years old. He died shortly thereafter and was buried on the grounds of the plantation. New York Times correspondent "De Soto" (William George) concluded his June 1863 account of witness statements describing torture including genital burning and breast mutilation on a Black River plantation in Catahoula Parish with the statement "If any one, upon reading this...says he does not believe it, I have only to reply, I do." | [

75,546,653 | Corte Real palace | The Corte Real palace (Portuguese: Palácio Corte Real) was a former palace in Lisbon, Portugal. It was constructed by the Corte-Real family at the start of the 17th century, and subsequently owned by the Portuguese royal family. It was heavily damaged by fire in 1751, and the remainder was successively destroyed during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Today, nothing remains anymore of the palace once considered the most celebrated private palace of Lisbon.
Cristóvão de Moura (1538 - 1613) was a Portuguese nobleman who established his fortune during the second of half of the sixteenth century. He backed the claims of king Philip II of Spain to the throne of Portugal and led the Spanish party during Portuguese succession crisis of 1580 that led to the Iberian Union. Among other privileges and rewards, king Philip II ennobled him and granted him the title of 1st Count of Castelo Rodrigo in 1594. In 1600, under the king's successor, Philip III of Spain, he was further elevated by being made the 1st Marquis of Castelo Rodrigo.
The newly created marquess was appointed Viceroy of Portugal, controlling Portugal from 1600 to 1603, and again from 1608 to 1612. The Portuguese people did not receive his tenure of the office very well, and the high taxes he implemented were strongly resented.
The 1st marquess married Margarita de Corte Real, an heiress who brought him the titles and wealth of the Corte-Real family, including governorship of some of the Azores. As a result of this union the two family names were combined to become Moura e Corte-Real.
In 1585, the coupled constructed a large city palace in Lisbon, next to the royal Ribeira Palace, to which it was connected by a walk way. The palace was named the Corte Real palace. It was a 50 metres square building with four imposing turrets on its corners, and two wings extending down to the Tagus river. The palace became the most celebrated city palace in Lisbon.
Next to the Corte Real palace, the couple also constructed a palace in Cristavao's hometown, the Castle of Castelo Rodrigo.
The 1st marquess was succeeded by his son, Manuel de Moura Corte Real, 2nd Marquis of Castelo Rodrigo (1590-1651). He was ambassador to Rome, where he was patron to Borromini and François Duquesnoy. His embassy came to an end with the revolt of Portugal in December 1640. As the 2nd marquess remained loyal to Spanish Habsburg crown, his estates in Portugal were confiscated by the new monarchy, including the Corte Real palace. Also, the castle of Castelo Rodrigo was lost, as it was burned by the local community.
After the confiscation, the Corte Real palace became property of the Portuguese royal family.
Significant reconstruction was performed when the palace became the official residence of Infante Peter, the future king Peter II of Portugal (1648-1706), and his consorts Maria Francisca of Savoy (1646-1683) and Maria Sophia of Neuburg (1666-1699). As part of the large works executed, an additional floor was added to the palace. After the dethronement of Afonso VI of Portugal, Peter II moved to the royal palace. From then on, the Corte Real palace served as the main residence of the Infantado, the appanage for the second eldest son of the Portuguese monarch.
In July 1751, a fire heavily damaged the Corte Real palace, and what little remained disappeared during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Reconstruction was considered, but did not happen. Today, nothing remains of the Corte Real palace. | [

75,546,677 | St Luke's Hospital, Rugby | St Luke's Hospital was a former hospital in Rugby, Warwickshire, on Lower Hillmorton Road, between 1948 and 1993. Although the facility had its origins in 1819 as a workhouse.
The site originated as the Rugby Union Workhouse, which was opened just off Lower Hillmorton Road in 1819. The institution was enlarged gradually over the years, until 1930, when it became a local authority run Public Assistance Institution for caring for the elderly, infirm and chronically sick. During the Second World War it was used as a hospital under the Emergency Hospital Service. From 1948 the site was taken over by the newly-established National Health Service (NHS) and named St Luke's Hospital.
St Luke's primarily functioned as an infirmary, though a nurses' training school opened there in 1951, and child development services were moved there in 1982. In the early 1990s the decision was taken to close St Luke's and move its services to nearby St Cross Hospital, which was enlarged at the same time. By April 1993 all of the patients had been transferred, and St Luke's was closed.
In 1994 the site was sold to housing developers, who demolished most of the buildings for a new housing development called Morton Gardens. Only the former workhouse boardroom remains. The site of the hospital is now covered by housing, a general practice surgery, and an NHS clinic called the Orchard Centre.

75,546,700 | Sleep (painting) | Sleep, also called Indu's Nude or Nude of Indira, is an oil on canvas painting by Amrita Sher-Gil, completed in 1933 and housed in the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi. It depicts a view from above of Sher-Gil's younger sister Indira, naked and lying on a white sheet at a diagonal, and with one raised arm. Just beneath her is a shawl depicting a dragon that appears to copy the flow of her hair and body curves.
Sher-Gil started the painting in 1932 in Paris, while also painting a view from the top of Notre-Dame de Paris. It was nearly sold to Nawab Salar Jung, and subsequently was displayed at her solo exhibition at Faletti's Hotel in Lahore, British India in 1937. In 1940, the painting was one of six of her works displayed at the Indian Academy of Fine Arts' Amritsar Exhibition. In 2007 it was shown at the Tate Gallery in London.
Sleep is an oil on canvas painting by Amrita Sher-Gil, depicting her younger sister Indira. She started the painting in 1932 in Paris. Describing herself as a workaholic in a letter to her mother dated June 1932 and translated from Hungarian, she was painting a view from the top of Notre-Dame de Paris during the day and Sleep all night. She wrote:
These days I am painting a view from the top of the Notre Dame... From 6 O'clock in the evening until there is light I am painting a nude of Indu. You see, I work like a madman, no time even to think.
The painting is a view of Indira from above. She is lying naked and at a diagonal, on a white sheet. Her left arm is raised. Just beneath her is a shawl depicting a dragon that appears to copy the flow of her hair and body curves.
In December 1936 the painting was displayed at the exhibition hall at Public Gardens, Hyderabad. There, the wealthy art collector, Nawab Salar Jung, requested that it be delivered to him, along with Three Girls (1935). Hoping that he would purchase it, Sher-Gil also sent him the Villagers, and extended her visit. In January 1937, She wrote to Indira that "I may have sold your nude and the group of young girls to the Nawab Salar Jung, after the Nizam the richest man in Hyderabad, if I were a sycophant". However, after keeping them for several days the Nawab returned the paintings, commenting that he had "no use for these Cubist pictures".
The painting was number 17 of 33 of Sher-Gil's works displayed at her solo exhibition at Faletti's Hotel in Lahore, British India, held from 21 to 27 November 1937. There, it was priced at ₹1,000, but did not sell. Writing from Budapest on 8 October 1938 Sher-Gil told her parents that she had left the painting she called "Indu's Nude" with the Indian National Congressman and her friend Diwan Chaman Lall "to see if he could palm it off on someone but he wasn't successful". In 1940, the painting was one of six of her works displayed at the Indian Academy of Fine Arts' Amritsar Exhibition, held from 31 October to 10 November, to raise money for the War Fund.
Housed at the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, Sleep was part of the 2007 exhibition held at the Tate Gallery in London.
According to scholar Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh, the painting calls to mind Édouard Manet's Olympia. | [

It categorizes and describes the positive and negative attributes of women from across the Ottoman Empire and the world according to their places of origin, in a masnavi form long poem. The Zenanname is accompanied by the Hubanname (1792-3), an equivalent work on men by the same author.
E. J. W. Gibb, among the first and most notable translators of Ottoman poetry into English, included verses from the Zennanname in his survey, A History of Ottoman Poetry. One such translation is as follows:
O thou, whose dusky mole is Hindustan, Whose tresses are the realms of Frankistan! The English woman is most sweet of face, Sweet-voiced, sweet-fashioned, and fulfilled of grace. Her red cheek to the rose doth colour bring, Her mouth doth teach the nightingale to sing. They all are pure of spirit and of heart; And prone are they unto adornment’s art. What all this pomp of splendor of array! What all this pageantry their heads display! Her hidden treasure’s talisman is broke, Undone, or ever it receiveth stroke. | [

75,546,724 | Rachel Jeffs | Rachel Jeffs Blackmore (born 1983, Salt Lake City) is an American author and former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She is the daughter of the church's prophet, convicted pedophile Warren Jeffs.
Jeffs, who was born to Warren Jeffs' second wife, had 47 siblings and half-siblings. She was sexually abused by her father from age 8 until age 16. She received up to an eighth grade education.
Jeffs married in 2002, at age 18, to a man chosen by Warren Jeffs; the couple met for the first time on the day of their wedding. Once she married, Jeffs lived in a home with three 'sister wives', who were also married to her husband. She gave birth to her first child in 2003, at age 19, and she worked at a school run by the church, teaching third graders. Her mother died of breast cancer in 2004.
In 2014, Jeffs was banished from her community and prevented from seeing her children for seven months, for allegedly having sex with her husband while pregnant. She has credited this event, and her anger surrounding it, to be the "breaking point" for deciding to leave altogether. Around this time, she also discovered one of her sisters had also been sexually abused by Warren Jeffs, starting at age 6.
Jeffs left the church on December 31, 2014, along with her five children and one of her sisters.
After leaving the church, Jeffs moved in with relatives from her mother's side of the family in Centennial Park, another polygamous community. However, Jeffs was put off by the practice of polygyny, and ultimately moved away, staying at times in Salt Lake City, Texas, and Montana. She enrolled her five children in public schools, and Jeffs got her GED and started college. The family was on food stamps for a time, and Jeffs taught violin lessons to make money.
Shortly after starting college, Jeffs met Brandon Blackmore, who had also been raised in a fundamentalist Mormon community. The two began a relationship, with Jeffs providing support when Blackmore testified against his parents in November 2016, in a court case involving the marriage of his 13-year-old sister to Warren Jeffs in 2004. Jeffs and Blackmore married in September 2017.
Jeffs has since spoken out against her father and the religion, appearing in reality television shows such as Escaping Polygamy.
One of her siblings, Roy Jeffs, also left the religion and committed suicide in 2019. Another sibling, Heleman Jeffs, is still a high-ranking member of the church.
As of 2017, Jeffs lives in Idaho. She considers herself a Christian. | [

75,546,798 | Bagaudae Revolt | The Bagaudae Revolt (409-417) was a violent conflict in the early 5th century, involving part of the population in northwestern Gaul. The uprising was an indirect result of the Rhine crossing in 405–406, through which various Germanic peoples invaded the Western Roman Empire, as well as the revolt of the army in Britannia and the resulting civil war. In the following period, the Gallic population largely had to rely on itself and formed self-defense groups, which were called Bagaudae. In mid-409, groups of Bagaudae in the Loire Valley and Brittany rebelled against the Roman regime. The course of this uprising has been briefly reported. Most of the information comes from the work of the Byzantine historian Zosimus (460-515), the Roman poet Rutilus Namatianus and the priest Salvianus from Marseille.
On New Year's Eve 405/406, a coalition of Danube tribes: Alans, (Vandals Asdingen and Silingen) and Suevi broke through the defenses on the Rhine border and invaded the Gallic provinces. The Roman field army was not prepared for this, because part of the Gallic army was in Italy, where the Romans at that time had to fight heavily against the Ostrogoths in the war of Radagaisus. In many areas the invaders had free rein and the countryside was burned. The invaders also tried to conquer some of the most important cities.
About the same time, or in consequence of conditions on the Continent, in Britannia, across the Channel, the army revolted and appointed a series of usurpers emperor, the last of whom was Constantine III. Constantine crossed into Gaul with most of the British garrison and by fighting and diplomacy he stabilized the situation there by binding the mass of Vandals, Alans and Suebi in northern Gaul. Eventually he established his power over Gaul and Hispania (modern Spain and Portugal), making Arles his capital.
It took a long time for the Roman authorities in Ravenna to respond to the events. Finally, in 408, Emperor Honorius sent an army led by Sarus into Gaul and a struggle for power broke out. As a result of this civil war, the invaders were once again given free rein.
Constantine's army managed to repel Sarus' attack and the usurper reached the height of his power in early 409. He controlled the entire Gallic prefecture and Honorius agreed to recognize him as co-emperor and appoint him honorary consul. Nevertheless, he neglected the hinterland because he did not put an end to the problem of the invaders.
The population in Gallia Lugdunensis, the province where a large part of the invading peoples had settled, suffered enormously from all the hostilities. They were forced to feed the invaders and hand over their supplies without Constantine, whom they had to support with taxes, intervening.
Encouraged by the example of the British who had expelled the Saxons themselves, the local population decided to expel the invaders on their own. They form armed groups to protect themselves. In traditions they are called Bagaudae, a name that was also given in previous centuries to groups of farmers and townspeople who had lost everything because of the raids and supported themselves by robbing and plundering.
The armed militias of the Bagauds stopped food supplies to the Barbarian tribes and repelled their attacks. By mid-409, resistance had become so great that the Germanic tribes were chased away and abandoned their settlements. They sought refuge in Hispania with the intention of plundering and settling there. In the same way the Roman magistrates and officers were expelled. The Bagauda groups managed to dominate an area that included Aquitania Segunda, Lugdunensis secunda, Lugdunensis III, and Lugdunensis IV. Constantine III saw no chance to act against this, because his general Gerontius revolted against him in Spain.
In 411, the civil war flared up again when Emperor Honorius ordered his commander-in-chief Constantius to march against Constantine. In September he closed in on his army near Arles and managed to defeat him. Nevertheless, Constantius could not continue his campaign and had to return to Italy because the capital Ravenna was threatened by the Visigoths. As a result, the Bagaudian revolt continued, while the Gallic elite - consisting of the senatorial class - in the rest of Gaul also refused to conform to the authority of the government in Ravenna. From among them a new usurper emerged: Jovinus. Lacking sufficient military resources, Jovinus turned to the Germanic foederati on the Rhine for support. His Gallic rule concentrated mainly on the Rhône valley, without intervening against the rebellious Bagaudae in northern Gaul. His usurpation lasted a total of two years and during that period the Bagaudae were the dominant party here.
The end of Jovinus' usurpation did not mean an end to the rebellion. Honorius' army was still at war with the Visigoths who controlled the area around Narbonne in southern Gaul. Despite this, the Bagaudae failed to organize themselves politically or even form any kind of group identity to give more strength to their demands. Only in case of danger did they join into larger groups. Ultimately, Constantius concluded a peace treaty with the Visigoths in 416, in which they agreed that the Visigoths would be given their own settlement area in exchange for military services.
The peace with the Visigoths in 416 and the suppression of the usurpations in Gaul and Spain made it possible for the government in Ravenna to restore its authority in the rebellious province from that moment on. The order for this was given to Exuperancius who conducted a successful campaign and succeeded in restoring imperial authority. The Goths may also have played a role in putting down the rebellion. The southern part of Gaul: Aquitaine, together with the Garonne valley, was assigned to the Visigoths as a settlement area in 418. Despite the pacification of the Bagaudae, these groups would still make themselves heard regularly afterwards. | [

75,546,808 | J. Becker | Becker (J. Becker) (Russian: Беккер, Я. Беккер) is a Russian company and factory founded by a German piano maker Jakob Becker.
The company was engaged in the production of musical instruments, such as: upright piano, grand piano.
In 1841, a factory was opened in Saint Petersburg, founded by Jakob Becker. The factory has come a long way, becoming widely known for its instruments throughout the Russian Empire and beyond. In 1839 he received a patent from the King of Bavaria for a grand piano and a quadrangular piano, in which the strings were located under the resonant soundboard, and metal was used in the design of the pin block, in addition to wood.
Initially, the company was a modest workshop that produced 20 musical instruments a year. Factory was located on Italianskaya Street (now Rakov Street).
Around the mid-1840s, one of the St. Petersburg magazines wrote:
The excellent master J. Becker made a very important improvement so that all the keys in the piano produce sounds corresponding to the keystorke force
The factory was different from other piano companies, as all stages of the construction of future instruments were divided into several areas and parts. The factory had several steam engines for working wood, iron, and brass, a department for assembling mechanical, partly imported parts, and other indications of the modern division of labor.
In the early 50s, Becker pianos attracted the attention of F.V. Bulgarin, who published a letter from the Polish pianist A. Kontsky to J. Becker in his newspaper Severnaya Pchela:
Mr Becker! I do not wish to leave St. Petersburg without expressing to you in writing the pleasure I experienced playing your superb grand piano at my last four concerts. Among the excellent qualities of the instruments of your work, the extraordinary purity of the sounds, the amazing evenness of the keyboard and the high dignity with which the instrument firmly holds a chord or tuning stand out.
From 1854, Becker's name began to appear in magazines and articles by the music critic F.M. Tolstoy. He wrote:
The best grand pianos, in terms of sonority, strength and finish, have recently been the products of Wirth's workshop. Now Mr. Wirth has left Petersburg, and, it seems, forever. As far as I can tell, Mr. Becker is now the leader in piano fabrication (along Italianskaya Street, opposite the Mikhailovsky Manege). His grand pianos are distinguished by a beautiful, full sound; the upper registers are especially remarkable... Above all, the craftsmanship, fine finish, durability and longevity.... make us prefer Mr. Becker's pianos from now on
From 1856 the company was a supplier to the court of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich and Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna. In 1857 the company was in the sole ownership of J.Becker. Due to the founder's illness, his brother Franz joined the family business.
From 1858 to 1859 the factory supplied pianos for Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich and Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich, and in 1859 Becker's factory already supplied pianos for the Winter Palace.
From the moment the factory was opened until 1861, the company was under the control of the founder.
Then the management was passed to the founder's brother, Franz Becker, and the company itself to Pavel Leontievich Petersen and Mikhail Avgustovich Bitepazh, who became the owners of the J.Becker Factory on January 1, 1872.
In the last years of the nineteenth century, production grew most intensively. A bright page in the history of the famous factory was the World Exhibition in Paris in 1878, where the factory was credited with countless technological improvements that contributed to the development of the piano craftsmanship worldwide.
Then the First World War began, but the factory continued to operate, although production was steadily declining.
In 1918, the factory was nationalized and renamed Krasny Oktyabr (en: Red October), continuing to produce pianos and grand pianos in the Soviet Era.
But the resale of the original Becker instruments continues to this day. Some of the company's exhibits are in private collections, and some of the instruments are in the National Museums in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
In 2010s the brand was revived once again. Under the new ownership, the company has launched an all-new lineup of pianos under the Becker brand.
The company now manufactures grand pianos, ugright piano, and digital pianos.
By 2023, the modern iteration of the Becker company has created more than 10 models of digital pianos, about 11 models of acoustic pianos and 4 models of grand pianos. | [

75,546,809 | Papermoon Diner | Papermoon Diner is a diner in the Remington neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, which is known for its eclectic decor.
The building, originally built in 1910, had previously been used as a diner under the names Tuttle House and Open House. Un Kim, who immigrated from South Korea in the 1970s, bought the building in 1994, and asked her friend from the Maryland Institute College of Art, David Briskie, to design the building's interior. Originally, Briskie used his and Kim's own collections of figurines and knickknacks to decorate, later sourcing from antique stores. They also collected grapevines and other natural items from local woods.
When Papermoon, named after the 1973 film Paper Moon, opened later in 1994, customers began to bring donations of items to be used as decor. In its early years, Papermoon had a reputation for edgy decor, with some people taking issue with the issue of naked mannequins. In response, Briskie began covering the mannequins with toys and other items.
Over time, Papermoon expanded the building to include additional seating areas.
The diner's walls and shelves are layered with assorted items, including toy trains and cars, dolls and doll heads, and vintage items. The diner's designer, David Briskie, has continued to remain involved with the diner, regularly updating and renovating the decor. He has said he tries to keep the diner's decor kid-friendly. The diner has 3,000 Pez dispensers, which were donated by the company's CEO after he visited.
The building's exterior features colorfully painted mannequins and a blue and magenta bull statue.
The diner also features art pieces by local artists.
Pieces of the building's decorations have often been taken. Some of the diner's outdoor mannequins have been taken by sororities and fraternities during their rush events. | [

75,546,839 | Edwin Jack Bosi | Edwin Jack Bosi is a Malaysian politician who served as a Member of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Kapayan from 2013 to 2018. He was formerly a member of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and was its first assemblyman of Kadazandusun descent.
In April 2015, Bosi was named in an injunction prohibiting him and other opposition leaders from attending a May Day rally organised by the non-governmental organisation Bersih.
The same year, in response to the prohibition of the term "secession" in the state legislative assembly by its newly elected speaker, Bosi announced his intention to challenge the ban during an upcoming assembly sitting.
Bosi abstained from voting on a motion to ban People's Justice Party (PKR) vice-presidents Nurul Izzah Anwar and Tian Chua from entering the state of Sabah over their meeting with the daughter of Jamalul Kiram III, a pretender to the Sulu Sultanate, Jacel Kiram.
In August 2016, the media reported that Bosi had resigned from the Democratic Action Party, with the party's state secretary quoted as saying that Bosi had sent his resignation letter to the party's leadership. Bosi, who had been replaced as state secretary during state committee elections last November, denied resigning from the party and questioned the motives of those who had disseminated the claim. Rumours of his resignation surfaced once again at the end of August as a result of his absence from the state party's policy forum.
In October the same year, Bosi was appointed state party deputy chairman after the party experienced an exodus of members from its Sabah chapter.
In May 2017, Bosi was suspended by the party over his comments earlier in April, having stated he would leave the party unless he was allowed to defend his seat in the upcoming general election in 2018, and criticising state chairman Wong Tien Fatt for what Bosi perceived as the former's disinterest in indigenous issues as well as an unwillingness to fight for indigenous rights.
Bosi announced his resignation from the Democratic Action Party in August, coinciding with the end of his three-month suspension, and cited his disagreements with party leadership as the main reason. Bosi's resignation left the party with only a single member in the state legislative assembly, Chan Foong Hin. Bosi would later join the Sabah Native Cooperation Party (ANAK NEGERI) in October.
During the 2018 Malaysian general election, Bosi contested the federal constituency of Penampang within the Kadazan heartland, in which his former state constituency of Kapayan is located, in a four-cornered fight. He came last in the election, losing out to Darell Leiking of the Heritage Party (WARISAN), garnering 445 votes or 1.03% of the total vote share.
Bosi represented the United Sabah Party (PBS) in the 2020 Sabah state election, contesting his former state constituency of Kapayan along with six other candidates. He lost the election to the incumbent Jannie Lasimbang of the Democratic Action Party, coming fourth with 803 votes or 4.06% of the total vote share.
During the 2022 Malaysian general election, Bosi endorsed the Pakatan Harapan–United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation candidate, Ewon Benedick, for the federal constituency of Penampang, and helped him campaign for the election. Benedick won the seat from Darell Leiking, overturning a 23,473 vote majority.
Bosi is related to the Lasimbangs, including the sisters Jennifer and Jannie, both of whom are politicians. | [

75,546,883 | Kana Kaanum Kaalangal Season 2 | Kana Kaanum Kaalangal Season 2 (transl. Era of Dreams) is the 2nd season of Kana Kaanum Kaalangal a Tamil drama soap opera that aired in Star Vijay, Monday to Thursday, from 22 September 2008 to 28 April 2009 consisting 118 episodes. It was the first soap in Tamil television that focused on school life. Due to the success of the show, a sequel called Kana Kaanum Kaalangal Kallooriyin Kadhai was made. Later another sequel to the serial called Kana Kaanum Kalangal Kalloori Saalai was also made. Both the sequels focused on college life. It was re-aired on Star Vijay Super from 16 January 2017, Monday through Friday at 8:00PM.
The title song was composed by the music director Vijay Antony and the background score was composed by C. .K. Ganesh with lyrics written by Thenmozhi Das. The title song video was directed by Shiran Mather.
Star Vijay conducted a talent search and students between 14 and 22 years were shortlisted and selected for the serial except Hemalatha and Ligeswaran, who had prior acting experience. All others were students who were acting for the first time to make the serial as close to reality as possible. Following the success of season 1 of the series, season 2 was started with fresh new faces and were promoted to 12th standard. When the producer and director announced the interview for the selection of the cast for second season, it was said that nearly 2000 applicants applied and they had a very tough time in short listing the participants in the selection.
Kana Kaanum Kaalangal was a trendsetter series in Tamil television in many ways since almost all the artists of the series were fresh faces for whom the series was their 1st acting assignment or they had earlier appeared as child artists/uncredited extras in serials or movies. The artists for the lead characters were selected by a talent hunt conducted by Star Vijay with a judge panel consisting of Praveen Gandhi, Vasu Vikram and Prabhu Radhakrishnan, moreover, an acting workshop was also conducted by Kalairani for the artists who were selected to play the lead characters. This series marked the debut of many artists as well as technicians for whom the series became a major breakthrough following its grand success. Most of the artists from the series continued to work in lead/supporting roles in serials/cinema and became successful in various other domains of media and arts as well.
After 15 years of the series commencement, the grand reunion of the artists from the series from various seasons was aired as a special show on 18 July 2021 on Star Vijay. | [

75,546,897 | Viktor Baier | Viktor Baier (born 16 January 2005) is a Czech professional footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Viktoria Plzeň.
Baier was born in Příbram to former volleyball player Petr Baier, who played for the local side. As a child, he took an interest in volleyball himself, as well as playing ice hockey.
Baier began his career in the academy of Příbram, where he was coached by former professional goalkeeper Radek Sňozík, before moving to Viktoria Plzeň at the age of fifteen. After Viktoria Plzeň qualified for the UEFA Champions League ahead of the 2022–23 season, the under-19 side automatically qualified for the UEFA Youth League, and despite beginning their campaign with losses to Inter Milan and Barcelona, they recorded their first victory against German opposition Bayern Munich, with Baier establishing himself as the team's first-choice goalkeeper with impressive performances.
The following year, in June 2023, he was invited to join a select group of international players as part of Bayern Munich's World Squad, where they would play in friendly matches against a number of youth sides. Baier later revealed that he had already been invited to trial with the German side by goalkeeping coach, and former Czech Republic international, Jaroslav Drobný after watching him in the UEFA Youth League, but he had been unable to attend after Viktoria Plzeň rejected the approach.
Though he was linked with a move to Bayern Munich, he decided to return to Viktoria Plzeň, stating that if he were to make the move, he would have to train with the club's under-19 side, and this would be a step back from training with the first team at Viktoria Plzeň. In late October 2023, with first-choice goalkeeper Jindřich Staněk ruled out due to concussion, Baier was named as a starter in Viktoria Plzeň's UEFA Europa Conference League tie against Croatian opposition Dinamo Zagreb. Viktoria's coach Miroslav Koubek, a former goalkeeper himself, decided that Baier would start, following usual reserve goalkeeper Marián Tvrdoň's poor performance in the team's 3–0 loss to Slovan Liberec the previous week.
Having kept a clean sheet in Viktoria's 1–0 win, he remained a starter for the next fixture - a Czech First League fixture against Karviná. Despite surprisingly losing the game 1–0, Baier was commended for his performance. His next appearance would again come in the UEFA Europa Conference League, keeping a clean sheet in another 1–0 win, this time against Kosovan side Ballkani.
Baier has represented the Czech Republic from under-17 to under-19 level.
Standing at 2.01 m tall, Baier has earned comparisons to legendary Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Čech. | [

The genus name Larus derives from Ancient Greek, referring to a seabird. The species name lacus derives from Latin, meaning "lake or standing body of water, in reference to the lagoonal deposits at the type locality."
Larus lacus specimens stem from Sarasota County, Florida. The humerus of Larus lacus most closely resembles the Hartlaub's gull (Chroicocephalus hartlaubii, formerly Larus hartlaubii), black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus; formerly Larus ridibundus), brown-hooded gull (Chroicocephalus maculipennis; formerly Larus maculipennis), and Franklin's gull (Leucophaeus pipixcan; formerly Larus pipixcan). | [

75,546,981 | Princess Jinxiang | Princess Jinxiang (金鄉公主, 201 - 3rd century) was a Chinese Imperial princess of the Cao Wei state during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD). She was the daughter of Cao Cao, the King of Wei. She was the wife of Cao Cao's adopted son, He Yan. There is no record of her real name, she was titled Princess Jinxiang after Cao Pi, her half-brother, deposed the last emperor of the Han dynasty in favor of Cao Wei.
He Yan was the grandson of He Jin, a prominent general during the Eastern Han Dynasty, through his mother, Lady Yin. Lady Yin later became a concubine of Cao Cao, and this led to He Yan's adoption into the Cao family. He Yan was greatly favored by Cao Cao, known for his handsome appearance, affinity for romance, and the use of aphrodisiacs like "Wushi San." After the establishment of the Cao Wei state, He Yan became a trusted confidant of Cao Shuang, a member of the imperial clan.
After Princess Jinxiang's marriage to He Yan, she became increasingly concerned about his unrestrained behavior, fearing that it might lead to his downfall. She confided in her mother, Lady Du, who responded with a smile, saying, "Then you have no reason to be jealous!" (He Yan was notorious for his promiscuity and affairs). In the year 249, during the tumultuous Incident at Gaoping Tombs, orchestrated by Sima Yi, Cao Shuang was executed, and He Yan was also killed. Sima Yi intended to wipe out the entire He family, but due to the heartfelt pleas of He Yan's mother, Lady Yin, Princess Jinxiang was spared, along with her son.
"The Records of the End of Wei" suggests that He Yan and Princess Jinxiang were half-siblings, sharing the same mother but having different fathers. However, it also indicates that Princess Jinxiang's mother was the Lady Du (the mother of Cao Lin). Pei Xiu, however, challenged this assertion, stating that the mention of He Yan marrying his half-sister was too indecent to believe, especially considering that Princess Jinxiang was supposed to be born to Lady Du. This indicates that Princess Jinxiang's birth could not have occurred earlier than 199, as Lady Du was accepted into Cao Cao's residence at the end of 198. Scholar Zheng Xin, in his work "A Study on He Yan's Birth Year," suggested that He Yan was likely born in 196, and Princess Jinxiang was likely born in 201, based on typical marriage ages during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the age of their son, who was five or six years old when He Yan died.
Furthermore, an excerpt from "Selections of Distinguished Essays from the Zhengming Era" quotes from "The Annals of Wei," mentioning, "The Taizu emperor's Lady Du bore him the Cao Lin (Pei prince) and the Princess Gaoping." It remains uncertain whether the Princess Gaoping is the same as Princess Jinxiang or if Lady Du had another daughter who was titled Princess of Gaoping. | [

She confided in her mother, Lady Du, who responded with a smile, saying, \"Then you have no reason to be jealous!\" (He Yan was notorious for his promiscuity and affairs). In the year 249, during the tumultuous Incident at Gaoping Tombs, orchestrated by Sima Yi, Cao Shuang was executed, and He Yan was also killed. Sima Yi intended to wipe out the entire He family, but due to the heartfelt pleas of He Yan's mother, Lady Yin, Princess Jinxiang was spared, along with her son.",

However, it also indicates that Princess Jinxiang's mother was the Lady Du (the mother of Cao Lin). Pei Xiu, however, challenged this assertion, stating that the mention of He Yan marrying his half-sister was too indecent to believe, especially considering that Princess Jinxiang was supposed to be born to Lady Du. This indicates that Princess Jinxiang's birth could not have occurred earlier than 199, as Lady Du was accepted into Cao Cao's residence at the end of 198. Scholar Zheng Xin, in his work \"A Study on He Yan's Birth Year,\" suggested that He Yan was likely born in 196, and Princess Jinxiang was likely born in 201, based on typical marriage ages during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the age of their son, who was five or six years old when He Yan died.",

75,547,003 | Giancarlo Giudice | Giancarlo Giudice (born March 11, 1952), known as The Monster of Turin (Italian: Il Mostro di Torino), is an Italian serial killer who murdered nine prostitutes in Turin from 1983 to 1986. Convicted and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment for the crimes, he was released in 2008 and has lived as a free man ever since.
Giancarlo Giudice was born in Turin on March 11, 1952. His father Primo, originally from Cuneo, was a veteran of the Russian campaign and current employee at Fiat who was known for being crude and an alcoholic. On the other hand, Giancarlo was close to his mother, and after she became ill from a heart ailment when he was eight, he started to take care of her. However, he was then sent off to the Don Orione Boarding School in Fubine Monferrato, and during his stay there, his mother passed away. At age 13, after attending his mother's funeral, Giudice attempted suicide by swallowing tablets from the infirmary - upon learning of this incident, he was sent back to his father.
When he became of age, Giudice entered military service as an alpini, but went AWOL from the barracks and returned home. For this reason, he was imprisoned for some time in a military prison, but later pardoned and allowed to finish his service as an infantryman. At around this time, his father remarried to Maria Rosa Fazio and moved with his new wife in Calabria, abandoning his son behind in Turin. Distraught by this, Giudice began to use crack cocaine and LSD, and frequently changed jobs. Fazio would later claim that the pair never got along, mostly due to Giudice's preference to stay at home, and that he did not even attend his father's funeral when Primo passed away from cirrhosis.
At the age of 25, he began working as a truck driver for a company in Brandizzo, but then quit his job and in 1979, he found employment at the Zanzone Trucking Company in Cigliano, where he was regarded as a bizarre, shy man by his colleagues, but commended on his diligent work ethic. One colleague would later note that Giudice never mentioned ever being in a relationship, sometimes did not show up for work because he "didn't feel like it" and often brought pornographic magazines to his workplace.
When he acquired enough money, he bought a house at 33 Cravero Street in the suburb of Regio Parco. His neighbors there described him as relatively friendly, but also very odd, as he was often unkempt, oblivious and avoided conversation with others. Reportedly, when he stopped paying his bills and both his electricity and gas were turned off, Giudice just brushed it off and hooked it illegally to his neighbor's junction box, as well as borrowing cylinders from his neighbor's mother to cook.
On December 27, 1983, Giudice met 40-year-old Sicilian-born prostitute Francesca "Franca" Pecoraro on Settimo Street and then killed her in her house. Then, in the dead of night, he stole a Bianchina from a garage on the same street where she lived and burned the car with the corpse inside on Enna Street in the Barriera di Stura area. The body was identified by Rome forensic police in August 1986, after re-examining a fragment taken from the victim's fingertip.
On January 1, 1984, he met 48-year-old prostitute of Lucanian origin Annunziata "Nunzia" Pafundo, who had previously been convicted of infanticide and diagnosed as mentally ill. After strangling her, Giudice dumped her naked body in Mezzi Stura in Settimo Torinese. It was later found on January 8, and identified on January 22 via fingerprints.
On March 26, Giudice met 24-year-old prostitute Lidia Geraci in Corso Polonia and tried to kill her, but decided to spare her after she told him that she had three children. Much to Geraci's surprise, he even apologized and did not resist when she reported him to the police. For this crime, he was sentenced to six months imprisonment.
On March 19, 1985, he strangled 64-year-old Giovanna "Gianna" Bricchi, a woman who was forced into prostitution due to her son's drug addiction, whose corpse he then threw into the Po River. At the end of the month, Giudice stabbed to death 47-year-old Addolorata Benvenuto in the throat and then threw her body into the Stura di Lanzo River.
In February 1986, Giudice met two prostitutes on the Lungo Dora Voghera three weeks apart: 44-year-old Maria Rosa Corda and 66-year-old Laura Belmonte. Corda was beaten with a hammer, while Belmonte was strangled with a stocking at Giudice's parents' bedroom - after killing each, he then bound their hands and feet with electric wires. Finally, he carried both bodies wrapped in a blanket and threw them into canals: Corda inside the Risale Rocca canal in Villareggia, and Belmonte into an unnamed canal in Saluggia.
In early April, he shot 44-year-old prostitute Maria Galfrè at point-blank before dragging her corpse to a shack near the Stura di Lanzo, which he then burned down. On May 21, Giudice tortured and strangled 58-year-old prostitute Clelia Mollo with a nylon stocking at her apartment at 10 XX Settembre Street.
When questioned later, Giudice claimed that he killed those eight prostitutes because they were all ugly, dirty, and old, and because they resembled his stepmother. He also claimed that he felt a "chill down [his] spine" that led him to kill.
On June 28, 1986, in Castello di Annone, he loaded his last victim, 36-year-old former NAP-affiliated terrorist and prostitute Maria Rosa Paoli, into his Lancia Fulvia. He then shot her in the temple near Rocchetta Tanaro, after which he hid the body behind a bush near the Santhià cemetery. An hour later, he was stopped by the police at a checkpoint to have his documents checked - while inspecting his car, the officers found two guns with cartridges, a bloodstained back seat and a rag stained with what was later determined to be Paoli's blood.
Following the discovery of Clelia Mollo's body on May 24, police began actively hunting for the killer, but faced difficulties, resulting in most of the areas frequented by prostitutes becoming deserted.
Immediately after his arrest, Giudice confessed to killing Paoli and showed where he had hidden the body, after which he was taken to the Molinette Prison in Turin and then to the Judicial Psychiatric Hospital in Reggio Emilia. In August 1986, he confessed to the other murders, whereupon he was transferred to a prison in Ivrea.
Giudice stood trial on March 22, 1989, after a court in Turin, presided over by Vladimiro Zagrebelsky, ruled him sane. While initially sentenced to life imprisonment, the sentence was later commuted to 24 years imprisonment and several years detention at a mental health facility.
On August 24, 1989, Giudice attempted to strangle 22-year-old prison guard Pietro Paolo Putzu, but the exact motive for the attack was undetermined. For this, he was convicted of attempted murder and given an additional 8 years imprisonment. A subsequent appeal was denied and his sentence was commuted to 30 years imprisonment and 3 years in the Judicial Psychiatric Hospital.
Giudice was paroled on October 25, 2008, after serving just over 22 years. He has since been granted a new identity, and his current whereabouts are unknown. | [

75,547,088 | Kira Sabin | Kira Sabin (born 1999) is an American nature and wildlife painter, best known for their involvement in the Federal Duck Stamp contest.
Born Kira Fennell, Sabin grew up alongside their twin, Kess Fennell, in the small town of Hutchinson, Minnesota. Both siblings wanted to become artists from a young age, and were influenced by their mother, who was a graphic designer.
Sabin began writing a novel at age 16, and self-published the work, titled i once met a Girl who paints the lines on roads, through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing in December 2017.
Sabin and their twin attended Hutchinson High School, where they both earned top marks in AP Art. Sabin also won awards for their art in regional high school competitions. After graduating from high school in 2017, Sabin attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, graduating in 2021 with a degree in painting in drawing.
After graduating college, Sabin began pursuing art as a professional career.
In 2023, Sabin painted a mural of a cow in Hutchinson, Minnesota as part of the city's mural project.
In 2019, Sabin was introduced to the Federal Duck Stamp contest by their grandfather, who was a waterfowl hunter. They entered the contest for the first time that year, with a painting of a black-bellied whistling duck. Neither their 2019 entry nor their 2020 entry, of red-breasted mergansers, made it past the first round of judging. Sabin was the contest's youngest competitor in 2020.
In July 2021, Sabin began posting about their newest Federal Duck Stamp entry on TIkTok. Their videos went viral, with the initial video ultimately gaining more than 2.6 million views, giving Sabin 200,000 followers. Several publications, including BuzzFeed News and CBS News, credited Sabin with "reenergizing" the competition, and popularizing it among social media users. Their 2021 entry, which featured two Ross's geese, did not initally make it past the first round of judging, but was picked by a judge to be included in the second round of judging.
Sabin's 2022 entry, featuring a Mottled duck hen, made it to the second round of judging in the contest. Their 2023 entry, of northern pintails, did not. Sabin's twin, Kess Fennell, also entered into the Duck Stamp competition in 2023, with a painting of Harlequin ducks.
Sabin is non-binary, and has used she/her and they/them pronouns. | [
