75,561,219 | At the Races in the Countryside | At the Races in the Countryside or Carriage at the Races is an 1869 oil painting by the French painter Edgar Degas. The painting, which depicts a scene of a family in a horse-drawn carriage in the countryside, is on display at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. The painting was shown at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874.
In the summer of 1869, Edgar Degas visited Paul Valpinçon, an old childhood friend, at his estate in Ménil-Hubert. Valpinçon's son Henri had been born in January of the same year. At the Races in the Countryside depicts the Valpinçon family during an outing to the races in Argentan, fifteen kilometers from the Valpinçons's estate. Degas painted At the Races in the Countryside during his visit.
Degas also depicted members of the Valpinçon family in other paintings during his visits to their estate. The 1865 painting A Woman Seated beside a Vase of Flowers depicts the wife Paul Valpinçon. The 1871 painting Portrait of Mlle. Hortense Valpinçon depicts the daughter of Paul Valpinçon.
At the Races in the Countryside is composed in such a way that it appears to have not been composed. The the main focus of the painting, the Valpinçon family in their horse-drawn carriage, is placed off-center and fill most of the lower-right quarter of the picture. The lower halves of the wheels of the carriage are cropped out of the bottom of the picture. The lower halves of the two horses' legs are also cropped out of the bottom of the picture, as is half of one of the horse's face. On the left side of the painting in the background, another horse-drawn carriage is also partially cropped out of frame. This style of cropping makes the painting seem as if it were not a deliberate composition, but rather a snapshot of a scene that one has happened to stumble upon.
Many art historians believe that the manner in which the horses and carriages are cropped in the painting are the result of influence of photography. Art historian Aaron Scharf has compared this painting to a album of stereoscopic photographs called Vues instantanées de Paris taken by the photographer Hippolyte Jouvin. The photographs in the collection, taken between 1861 and 1865, show "instantaneous" views of the streets of Paris. In some of the photographs, horses and carriages are cropped out of frame in a similar way to the horses and carriage are in At the Races in the Countryside. Edgar Degas did not use this style of cropping in his horse racing scenes before 1862, which was when this style of cropping first started to appear in photographs. This style of cropping was uncommon in painting in general before the invention of photography.
Degas has also been suggested to have taken influences from English paintings when painting At the Races in the Countryside. The green coloring of the painting is suggestive of an influence from English horse racing scenes. The driver's top hat and the presence of the bulldog also contribute to the "English character" of the painting. English styles were fashionable among the French upper classes at the time of the painting's creation.
Other compositional features, such as the nearly flat horizon line and simplified houses, trees, and figures in the distance were influenced by imported Japanese woodblock prints.
Edgar Degas first sold At the Races in the Countryside to his art dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, in September of 1872. Less than a month later, Degas left Paris for New Orleans to visit relatives. In October, the painting was sent to London and shown at the Fifth Exhibition of the Society of French Artists. In November, while in New Orleans, Degas wrote to James Tissot to ask about how the painting had been received in London. The painting had been purchased by the French singer and art collector Jean-Baptiste Faure. That Degas inquired that continued to inquire about the painting even after having sold it suggests that he had an attachment to it.
Edgar Degas included At the Races in the Countryside at the first Impressionist exhibition at 35 Boulevard des Capucines in 1874. Ernest Chesneau gave the painting a positive review, saying that it was "exquisite in color, drawing, the felicity of the poses, and overall finish."
In 1893, Faure sold At the Races in the Countryside back to Durand-Ruel. In 1926, Durand-Ruel sold the painting to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston for $30,000. The painting has remained as a part of the museum's collection ever since. | [

In some of the photographs, horses and carriages are cropped out of frame in a similar way to the horses and carriage are in At the Races in the Countryside. Edgar Degas did not use this style of cropping in his horse racing scenes before 1862, which was when this style of cropping first started to appear in photographs. This style of cropping was uncommon in painting in general before the invention of photography.",

The green coloring of the painting is suggestive of an influence from English horse racing scenes. The driver's top hat and the presence of the bulldog also contribute to the \"English character\" of the painting. English styles were fashionable among the French upper classes at the time of the painting's creation.",

In November, while in New Orleans, Degas wrote to James Tissot to ask about how the painting had been received in London. The painting had been purchased by the French singer and art collector Jean-Baptiste Faure.

75,561,252 | Ministry of Human Capital (Argentina) | The Ministry of Human Capital (Spanish: Ministerio de Capital Humano) of Argentina is a ministry of the national executive power responsible for labour, education, culture and social welfare.
The incumbent minister is Sandra Pettovello, who has served since 10 December 2023 in the cabinet of Javier Milei, who created the ministry through a presidential decree.
During the presidential campaign, Javier Milei promised to reduce the number of existing ministries and create new bodies which would bring together several areas in order to cut public expenditure. Before the inauguration of the libertarian, the areas of labour, education, culture and social welfare each had their own ministry within the Government of Argentina. The Ministry of Human Capital can therefore be considered as the merging of the ministries of Labour, Employment and Social Security, Education, Culture and Social Development.
On 10 December 2023, on his very first day as President of Argentina, Milei modified the law through a Necessity and Urgency Decree and reduced the previous 19 government ministries to nine. While planned to be removed and included in this portfolio, the Ministry of Health was ultimately kept by the president and attributed to cardiologist Mario Russo. As stipulated in the presidential decree, the Ministry of Human Capital "concentrate policies regarding education, culture, work and social development in order to achieve the maximum development of human capital". The same day, Sandra Pettovello was then appointed head of the ministry. A member of the liberal conservative UCEDE party who campaigned for La Libertad Avanza and a former journalist, she was elected National Deputy for Buenos Aires before being appointed minister. | [

75,561,270 | One More Orbit Mission | The One More Orbit is a mission aimed at breaking the world record for the fastest circumnavigation of the Earth via both poles, involving a joint effort by a team from many nations led by Terry Virts and Hamish Harding.
An international flight crew set a new record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe via the North and South Poles, clocking nearly six hours less than the previous mark. The 25,000-mile mission, named "One More Orbit," was led by Terry Virts, a former International Space Station commander, as a tribute to the Apollo 11 moon landings.
On July 11, 2019, One More Orbit achieved the World Speed Record for circumnavigating both Poles and the world. About five years before the mission, Hamish Harding discussed the idea of a global circumnavigation flight with some Apollo astronauts, sparking the concept of flying on "one more orbit."
During July 9–11, 2019, One More Orbit shattered the Round-the-World record for any aircraft by navigating over both the North and South poles. They completed the fastest Circumnavigation of the Earth via both the Poles in just 46 hours and 40 minutes, cruising at an average speed of 465 knots (535 mph or 861 km/h). The speed record achieved by One More Orbit is included and has received certification from both the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) and Guinness world records.
Led by Mission Directors Capt. Hamish Harding and Col. Terry Virts, a NASA Astronaut, alongside an eight-member crew, the record-breaking flight achieved a circumnavigation of Earth via both geographic poles using a Qatar Executive Gulfstream G650ER ultra-long-range business jet. This feat coincided with the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The mission took off from Space Florida's Launch and Landing Facility, previously known as NASA’s Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, echoing the historic launch site of Apollo 11 half a century earlier.
The One More Orbit flight commenced precisely at 09:32 EDT, mirroring the exact launch time of Apollo 11. At 12:12 UTC on July 11, 2019. | [

Her research focuses on the development of ultrafast laser plasma spectroscopies. She specialises in femtosecond laser-matter interactions. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Optica.
Zorba was born in Greece. She completed her undergraduate studies in the University of Crete, where she specialised in physics. She completed her master's degree and doctorate in Crete. Her doctorate considered the laser-induced micro-/nano- structuring of silicon. Femtosecond laser micromachining can be used to generate micro-/nano- structures in the optical near and far fields. In the far-field, Zorba realised water repellent biomimetic structures. Zorba joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a postdoc. She was part of the Environmental Energy Technology Division, and developed strategies to analyse lithium ion batteries at high resolution. She studied ultra-thin interfacial layers to evaluate how chemical reactions that occur during charging impact battery performance after electrochemical cycling.
Zorba uses ultrafast lasers and advanced laser-based manufacturing tools for nonlinear optics, chemistry and remote sensing. In particular, she is interested in analysing the chemical content of materials and laser plasmas. This has applications in many technology areas, including energy (batteries and solar cells) as well as biomedical and nuclear security. She worked on the ChemCam (chemistry and camera complex) instrument for Curiosity, which incorporated laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. | [

75,561,367 | Noam Dovev | Noam Dovev (Hebrew: נועם דובב; born May 23, 1974) is an Israeli palindrome author, poet, short story writer, and former Wikipedian. He is the holder of several records in the field of creating palindromes in Hebrew: the four longest palindromes, headed by "access to a record no one has achieved" (Hebrew: גישה אל שיא איש לא השיג); The only two books of palindromic poetry so far, Halima Mila (Hebrew: הלימת מילה) and When it Darkened (Hebrew: כשחשך); and the largest palindromic magic square. He lectures on palindromes, writing under constraints and word games in jumbles.
Dovev served in the IDF as head of the information security team in a technology unit, and since 1999 has been involved in information security as a consultant and manager.
Dovev writes songs and stories based on tongue twisters. He generally focuses on writing with constraints (such as anagrams) and in particular on palindromes which are sometimes combined with additional constraints. He also composed palindromes by words.
In 2011 he created the largest palindromic magic square in Hebrew of order 6, larger than the famous magic square of order 5 composed by Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra in the 12th century.
Dovev writes palindromic short stories. He broke the record for the longest palindrome in Hebrew five times, and in all the records he set below are the numbers of palindromic words and letters:
The last four palindromes in the list above are the four longest palindromes in Hebrew.
In early 2020 Dovev published his first book, Halimat Mila (Hebrew: הלימת מילה), which is the first book of palindromic poetry in Hebrew. The names of the book in Hebrew, in English ("Word row") and in Arabic ("كلمة ملك") are also palindromic. On top of that, all the songs, titles, cover names and chapters in the book are palindromic, and even the numbers of the chapters, pages and songs are palindromic. The book was launched on the palindromic date 02.02.2020 (February 2, 2020), at 20:02. The book contains, among other things, a palindromic haiku poem and a 666-word rhyming poem, based on the longest palindrome in Hebrew (as of that time). Later in the year, he participated in the Jerusalem Poetry Festival on behalf of "A Place for Poetry" (Hebrew: מקום לשירה), where he read a selection of the poems from the book.
In early 2022, his book of poems Kashachashach ("When it Darkened"; (Hebrew: כשחשך) was published. The book deals with the separation from his younger brother, Oz Karat-Dovev, who died of cancer. The book was launched on the palindrome date 22.02.2022 (February 22, 2022) at 20:02. Ido Nitzan from the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom wrote: "Noam Dovev's book of poems, which includes only palindromic poems, fails to rise above the linguistic gimmick... Sometimes the rigid framework of the book undercuts the emotion of grief, and makes the poetry artificial and the reading experience purely playful and technical... Also, in some of the poems in the book, the palindromic constraint creates a mixture of sloppy and partial syntax and of uneven language combinations, whose reward is their loss. For example, in the poem that closes the book, which looks more like an automatic message from a computer program than like a poem ... the creaking combination of the verb "feels" (Hebrew: חש) with the everyday slang "feels bad" (Hebrew: מרגיש גרוע) creates a linguistic monster, which partially rhymes: "feels bad / without sweat" (Hebrew: וחש גרוע / בלי לזוע), which cannot seriously convey a sense of loss... However, some of the poems in the book are beautiful and very moving."
Dovev composed palindromic sentences. He composed a bilingual palindrome, which has the same meaning in Hebrew and English: "Go, dog" (Hebrew: כלב לך). He also wrote palindromic sentences in English. Other examples of short palindromic sentences he composed: "If it weren't for Ab, Ha'ba Elul?"

Sometimes the rigid framework of the book undercuts the emotion of grief, and makes the poetry artificial and the reading experience purely playful and technical... Also, in some of the poems in the book, the palindromic constraint creates a mixture of sloppy and partial syntax and of uneven language combinations, whose reward is their loss. For example, in the poem that closes the book, which looks more like an automatic message from a computer program than like a poem ... the creaking combination of the verb \"feels\" (Hebrew: חש) with the everyday slang \"feels bad\" (Hebrew: מרגיש גרוע) creates a linguistic monster, which partially rhymes: \"feels bad / without sweat\" (Hebrew: וחש גרוע / בלי לזוע), which cannot seriously convey a sense of loss...

75,561,400 | Yahoo (film) | Yahoo is a 2004 Indian Kannada-language horror film directed by Seetharam Karanth and starring Saurav, Neetha and Dattatreya. The film is based on a true incident that happened in a house in Haladi. The film was released on 10 December 2004 along with Praana.
The film was shot in Raghavendra Maiyya's eight-hundred-year-old house. Havyaka Kannada and Tala-Maddale were used in the film.
A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "The director has taken care neither to justify the existence of ghosts nor their absence. He has left to the audience to decide. Five films released so far (Sagari, Kanakambari, Bidalare, Aptha Mithra and now Yahoo) have stories related to ghosts. But among all these, surely, the ghost in this film, is intelligent".
A critic from Sify wrote that "Dattatreya as Haladi Nagappa’s ghost who appears after interval has done his role convincingly. The highlight of the film is the camerawork of Makarand Joshi who has lend credence to the suspense and horror with perfect lighting. The background eerie music of M. N. Kripakar is impressive while songs are just ok. The performances of Saurav, Neetha and Dhruva Sharma in a small role are all good". | [

75,561,432 | Pun Sing-lui | Pun Sing-lui (Chinese: 潘星磊; pinyin: Pān Xīnglěi) is a mainland-trained performance artist and Hong Kong resident. His most notable and contested work is Red Action, which he staged after he attended the June Forth vigil held annually in Victoria Park in Hong Kong in 1995. This performance was covered by many local and international press and art historical studies as it was seen as a response to colonial politics, as well as an act of "artistic urge" and vandalism. Some consider it as "the most famous political stunt in Hong Kong history".
Pun was a participant of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. A photograph of him going on a hunger strike during the protests was featured on the cover of Le tremblement de terre de Pékin, a 1991 book about the uprising written by French authors Michel Bonnin, Jean-Philippe Béja, and Alain Peyraube.
In 1992, Pan graduated from the Sculpture Department Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and immigrated to Hong Kong.
Pan's most well-known performance work is named Red Action. On 16 September 1996, shortly before Hong Kong's handover to China, Pun covered the bronze statue of Queen Victoria in a public park with a layer of red paint, and smashed its nose with a hammer. The artist then waited for the press and the police to arrive and claimed his performance was a protest against the “dull, colonial culture” in Hong Kong before undergoing court-mandated psychological evaluation and imprisonment for twenty-eight days. The statue was subsequently restored, at a cost of $150,000.
For Pun, vandalising the statue represents an act of reclaiming agency, an opportunity to reject colonial culture and to challenge the values that the statue symbolises in "a period of colonial domination." In an interview with Mariana Wan in the South China Morning Post, Pun offered this rationale for his performance:
"I smashed this statue. The message is loud and clear: I am saying no to colonial culture. I do not hold anything against Queen Victoria personally. What I am against is the era the statue represents; an era of colonialism. A lot of people do not know why this statue is in the park. Or if they know they are not aware of its significance . . . In Hong Kong, nobody thinks hard on the significance of the statue of Queen Victoria. A lot of artists and people said they had fond feelings towards this statue; that as children, they had played under it. This I find very strange. I don’t know whether that is due to the fact that Hong Kong has neglected its education on historical and cultural matters . . . A museum is a perfect place for it so that people, the future generations, can reflect on the history of Hong Kong. Not a park".
The performance received negative reactions although it has been considered as a significant artistic act demanding democracy. Artist and art critic Leung Po Shan Anthony argued that this act evoked fear among Hong Kong people of the Cultural Revolution and the prospect of future Communist rule. It was criticized as an "outdated act of resistance" by nationalism against colonialism, and it highlighted a "severe divergence" in the emotional fabric between the people of Mainland China and Hong Kong. | [

75,561,464 | Pelecyphora emskoetteriana | Pelecyphora emskoetteriana is a species of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to the Mexico and southern United States.
Pelecyphora emskoetteriana usually grows sprouting and forms groups up to 10 centimeters high. The spherical to short cylindrical shoots reach heights of 5 to 12 centimeters and diameters of 2 to 2.5 centimeters. Their 6 to 10 millimeter long warts at the base of the shoots are often not persistent. The five to eight straight, yellow central spines have a darker tip and often resemble the marginal spines. They are up to 1.2 centimeters long. The 20 to 30 white, straight and irregularly spread marginal spines are up to 1 centimeter long.
The flowers are dirty white to lavender to light purple. They are 2 to 2.5 centimeters long and reach the same diameter. The red, spherical to ellipsoidal fruits have a diameter of 6 to 9 millimeters.
Pelecyphora emskoetteriana is distributed in the western United States in the state of Texas in the plains of the Rio Grande and the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.
The first description as Mammillaria emskoetteriana by Leopold Quehl was published in 1910. The specific epithet emskoetteriana honors the German gardener Robert Emskotter in Magdeburg. John Borg placed the species in the genus Escobaria in 1937. David Aquino & Daniel Sánchez moved the species to Pelecyphora based on phylogenetic studies in 2022. Further nomenclature synonyms are Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele (Backeb.) Buxb. & Backeb., Coryphantha emskoetteriana (Quehl) A.Berger (1929), Escobaria emskoetteriana (Quehl) Borg (1937) and Neobesseya emskoetteriana (Quehl) Lodé (2013) | [

75,561,587 | Sarosi (estate) | Sarosi, formerly an estate (taluqdari) in Oudh, British India was under the control of the Parihar clan of Rajputs. It now constitutes a segment of the Unnao district in Uttar Pradesh, India.
The settlement of the clan's ancestors at Sarosi is historically linked to the reign of Humayun, the Emperor of Delhi. A matrimonial alliance took place between a Dikhit girl from Parenda and the son of the Parihar Raja of Jigini, located across the Yamuna. The wedding procession, accompanied by a substantial escort, passed through Sarosi. Inquiring about the nearby fort's rulers revealed that it was held by Dhobis and other Shudras who owned the surrounding land. Post the Holi festival, a party led by Bhagay Singh returned to Sarosi. During the festival's evening, they seized the fort when the guards were inebriated, securing control of both the fort and the adjacent territory.
Following Bhagay Singh's passing, his estate, comprising eighty-four villages, was divided among his four sons. Asis and Salhu, the two eldest sons, inherited the majority of the estate. Asis received twenty villages, while Salhu obtained forty-two. The third son, Manik, embraced a life of devotion and refrained from involvement in worldly affairs. The youngest son, Bhuledhan, received a share determined by his older brothers, who treated him fairly. Bhuledhan took the share allocated by his siblings, and there is no indication that he was mistreated in the distribution.
The family's inheritance practices did not follow the law of primogeniture, leading to a continual subdivision of the ancestral estate as each son claimed a separate share upon maturity and marriage. This trend persisted for six generations until the era of Hira Singh. During his time, the family's property had significantly diminished, and Hira Singh faced the task of dividing it among his five sons. Hira Singh also encountered legal troubles, leading to his imprisonment at Faizabad.
Escaping from custody, Hira Singh sought refuge in Sarosi, prompting him to send his third son, Kalandar Singh, to join the company's army. Kalandar Singh's rise to Subedar-major in the 49th Regiment of Native Infantry marked a turning point. Recognizing the vulnerability of the Parihar zamindars to local authorities upon his eventual passing, Kalandar Singh devised a strategy. He convinced the brotherhood members descended from Asis to aggregate their individually divided holdings into a nominal large estate, with his nephew, Gulab Singh, serving as the representative taluqdar.
This arrangement, maintained from 1840 until British annexation, presented a unified front to potential oppressors, deterring unjust treatment of the Parihar zamindars. During this period, the estate was held solely in the name of Gulab Singh, offering protection against further oppressions by external authorities.
In 1840, during the reign of Muhammad Ali Shah (1837-42), Gulab Singh of Sarosi consolidated the possessions of various branches of the Parihar Rajputs into a substantial estate. Chaudhri Gulab Singh, the nominal head of the Parihars, oversaw this unification and was succeeded by his son, Chaudhri Fateh Bahadur Singh. Subsequently, the estate came under the rule of Chaudhri Chandan Singh, succeeded by Chaudhri Kewal Singh.
Following India's independence on August 15, 1947, the Sarosi (Taluq) estate was integrated into the Dominion of India and later the Republic of India. Chaudhri Kewal Singh, the last ruler of Sarosi served as an MLC.
The rulers of Sarosi bore the title of Chaudhri. The list of rulers is following as: | [

Inquiring about the nearby fort's rulers revealed that it was held by Dhobis and other Shudras who owned the surrounding land. Post the Holi festival, a party led by Bhagay Singh returned to Sarosi.

75,561,596 | Giovanni Sechi | Giovanni Sechi (Sassari, 1861 - Rome, 1948) was an Italian admiral and politician.
Sechi graduated from the Italian Naval Academy in 1883. Between 1903 and 1906, as a lieutenant and professor at the Naval Academy, Sechi published a two-volume work entitled Elementi di Arte Militari Marittima, a thesis on naval strategy and doctrine.It outlined the importance of strategy, in contrast to the established Italian emphasis on naval battle tactics. He also made an ultimately successful case for Italy to invest in fast dreadnoughts.
He took part as an officer in the Italo-Turkish War and in the First World War. Made a rear admiral in 1918, he was promoted to reserve vice admiral in 1923 and then squadron admiral in 1926.
Appointed a senator in 1919, he was interim Minister of War (23-24 June 1919). He served as Minister of the Navy in the first and second Nitti governments and the fifth Giolitti government (1920-21) during the difficult postwar period in which Italy was trying to return to a sustainable peacetime economy and scale back its military and naval costs.
As Navy Minister Sechi followed the Nitti government line of demobilisation and reduction in arms manufacture. The navy was reduced in strength from 120,000 to 34,000 men; four old battleships and fifteen cruisers were decommissioned and the construction of the dreadnought Francesco Caracciolo halted.At the same time as retiring Italy’s expensive larger warships, Sechi commissioned eight new minelayers, four destroyers, four submarines and eight torpedo boats.
He also made an unsuccessful proposal to end direct state management of shipyards and leave them to the private sector.
Sechi also took a conservative line on the Adriatic question after the First World War. Paolo Thaon di Revel and Alfredo Acton believed Italy’s security required that she deny control of the Adriatic ports to any potentially hostile power; hence that Italy should occupy Dalmatia as had been agreed in the Treaty of London. As the new Kingdom of Yugoslavia possessed a navy of only twelve small ships, Sechi did not believe it was a threat.
He also served as president of the Italian Naval and Aeronautical Register from 1928 to 1935. | [

75,561,623 | The History of the Jews in Egypt and Syria under Mamluk Rule | The History of the Jews in Egypt and Syria under Mamluk Rule is the name of a series of books by Eliyahu Ashtor, an orientalist and scholar of the Levant in the Middle Ages. The series includes three volumes, published between 1944-1970, describing the history of the Jewish communities in Egypt and Syria and their leaders during the Mamluk rule, from 1250 CE (the murder of the last Ayyubid amir Turanshah and the takeover of rule in Egypt by the Bahri Mamluks) until 1517 (the Ottoman conquest of Egypt). In the first two volumes, Ashtor incorporated information based on documents and records from the researched time period, from Muslim, Christian and Jewish sources, including documents from the Cairo Genizah, being the first to do so.
The first volume of the book was a rewrite of Ashtor's doctoral dissertation, which he submitted to the senate of the Hebrew University in 1943. Ashtor began collecting material to use for writing the dissertation already in 1937, when he was a student at the University of Vienna. The sources included information he collected from the Arabic historiographies of that period, both printed and manuscript, which were available at the Imperial Library in Vienna. Additional information he found in manuscripts from libraries in Berlin, Gotha and Leiden, which he accessed through the interlibrary loan department of the Imperial Library. At that time, he was also first exposed to the Cairo Genizah, as he would translate, for Professor Simha Assaf, Arabic documents from the Genizah which were located in Vienna. Ashtor even began writing the dissertation in Vienna, however after the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938, he fled from Vienna to Jerusalem, where he continued his doctoral studies at the Hebrew University under the mentorship of orientalist L.A. Mayer, while also working at the National Library. During this period he was able access additional sources from the era he was researching, including documents from the Cairo Genizah, and among other things managed to date and attribute several undated documents to the Mamluk period.
In the spring of 1943 he received the Motzkin Prize, and used it to fund a month-long visit to the Zahiriyya library in Damascus, the Ahmadian madrasa library in Aleppo and the Jesuit university in Beirut, in order to collect additional sources for the doctoral dissertation. That summer he submitted the dissertation and was granted a PhD in philosophy.
After receiving his degree, he rewrote several chapters of the dissertation, made updates based on sources previously unknown to him, and published it in 1944 as the first volume of his book "The History of the Jews in Egypt and Syria under Mamluk Rule", the Bahri Mamluk period.
To write the second volume, on "The Jews in Egypt and Syria under Mamluk Rule", the Burji (Circassian) Mamluk period, Ashtor received the Maurice and Charlotte Amalia Warburg Prize, becoming the first researcher to receive it. With the prize money he was able to reduce some of his work at the National Library and devote more time to researching the period covered in the book, as well as order reproductions of Arabic manuscripts from Istanbul and Oxford. The second volume is primarily based on contemporary sources, including Arabic chronicles, responsa books by rabbis, travelogues by Jewish and Christian pilgrims to the Land of Israel, and reports by merchants, mostly Christians. He began working on the book in 1944 and finished writing it four years later, in 1948, but it was only printed in 1951. The third volume was published much later, in 1970.
Ashtor almost completely skipped describing the Jewish communities in the Land of Israel during this period, despite it also being ruled by the Mamluks at that time, because he felt that "the history of the Jews in the Land of Israel requires special and superior investigation into every detail because of the unique role of the country in Jewish history. The qualified scientific circles recognized that this research needs to be carried out by a learned society... so why should an individual compete with a joint enterprise of learned scholars?" | [

In the first two volumes, Ashtor incorporated information based on documents and records from the researched time period, from Muslim, Christian and Jewish sources, including documents from the Cairo Genizah, being the first to do so. | 2023-12-14T07:36:05Z | 2023-12-15T03:54:48Z | [

75,561,657 | Pelecyphora zilziana | Pelecyphora zilziana is a species of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to Mexico.
Pelecyphora zilziana usually grows solitary, but sometimes sprouts from the base. The cylindrical shoots reach heights of 6 to 10 centimeters and a diameter of 3 centimeters. Their warts are up to 10 millimeters long. Central spines are usually not present. Occasionally one or more are present that resemble marginal spines. The 16 to 22 straight marginal thorns lie on the surface of the shoot. They are up to 1.5 centimeters long.
The light yellow, olive green or whitish flowers have pink central stripes. They are 3 centimeters long and reach a diameter of 2.5 centimeters. The red, club-shaped fruits are 2 centimeters long.
Pelecyphora zilziana is widespread in the Mexican state of Coahuila.
The first description as Coryphantha zilziana by Friedrich Bödeker was published in 1930. The specific epithet zilziana honors the Austrian doctor and cactus collector Juljan Zilz. Curt Backeberg placed the species in the genus Escobaria in 1961. David Aquino & Daniel Sánchez moved the species to Pelecyphora based on phylogenetic studies in 2022. Further nomenclature synonym are Neobesseya zilziana (Boed.) Boed. (1933), Neobesseya zilziana (Boed.) Boed. ex Backeb. & F. M. Knuth (1936) and Escobaria zilziana (Boed.) Backeb. (1961). | [

75,561,722 | Aryan Strikeforce | Aryan Strikeforce (ASF) is a neo-Nazi white supremacist group based worldwide established by Ian Davison. As of 2010, the group is estimated to have 350 members online, including members in Germany, Serbia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The group's aim is to overthrow the government, believing that they are secretly all Zionists, and to slaughter ethnic minority groups. The group is designated as a terrorist organisation by Canada.
After Ian's arrest, the group's new leader was Joshua Michael Steever of New Jersey, U.S., who joined the group after being kicked out from Aryan Terror Brigade, another white supremacist group.
In December 2009, 58-year-old Trevor Hannington and 42-year-old Micheal Heaton appeared in the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London accused of inciting racial hatred, after they used their website to post antisemitic content encouraging others to kill Jews.
In April 2010, 19-year-old Nicky Davidson, of county Durham, England, joined the group to please his father, who was the organiser of the group. Reports say that he was threatening to overthrow the "Zionist Occupied Government".
In June 2017, Cameron Anthony, was arrested after threatening a Latino man with a baseball bat, while shouting "White power!", at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Eight months before his arrest, at least eight people have been arrested on varying charges, including money laundering and illegal weapons possession, including an October 2016 arrest of Ronald Pulcher II, from Galeton, Pennsylvania, ASF's self-described "Vinland Division President".
Around 2018, 4 members pleaded guilty, one of them was vice president vice president Steven D. Davis. Steven pleaded guilty at the U.S. Middle District Court in Pennsylvania for his involvement in a scheme to transport weapons and drugs over state lines. All of the other members was Henry Lambert Baird, Joshua Michael Steever and Connor Drew Dikes, who was all involved of transporting crystal meth and weapons from Pennsylvania to Maryland. Dike's and Steever's arrest will greatly effect the ASF as Dikes was the sergeant of arms and Steever was the leader.
Also in 2018, the National Socialist Movement and ASF held a "white unity meeting" in Ulysses, Pennsylvania, to discuss their response to Donald Trump's presidency and plan joint action.
ASF and other white nationalist groups based in Canada were banned from having a presence on Facebook in 2019 after the platform was criticized for its refusal to remove a post by white nationalist Faith Goldy. | [

75,561,733 | Rob Amery | Robert Maxwell Amery (born 1954) is an Australian linguist and specialist in Australian Aboriginal languages, in particular language revitalisation of endangered languages, and focused primarily on the Kaurna language of the Adelaide Plains region of South Australia. He is the author of books, articles, and a website, among other publications.
Robert Maxwell Amery was born in 1954.
Amery began working in Aboriginal communities as a nurse, in 1980. After working for some time as an Aboriginal health worker educator, he started taking an interest in education when working in Yirrkala, in northeast Arnhem Land in 1985. He researched Dhuwaya, a new koiné variety of Yolngu Matha which was predominantly used by youth.
In 1990, Amery created the first complete sentence in the Kaurna language known to people still alive. In the early 1990s he worked as project officer for the Australian Indigenous Languages Framework. During 1993 and 1994, he developed a national curriculum framework that allowed for the introduction of Indigenous language programs at senior secondary level.
In June 1998 he completed a PhD at the University of Adelaide on the reclamation of Kaurna, with his thesis "Warrabarna Kaurna: Reclaiming Aboriginal Languages from Written Historical Sources: A Kaurna Case Study".
In the early 2000s, Amery taught the Kaurna language to Jack Buckskin, now a teacher of Kaurna language and culture himself.
In 2002, along with Kaurna elders Alitya Wallara Rigney and Lewis Yerloburka O'Brien Amery was a co-founder of Kaurna Warra Pintyandi (KWP; now spelt Kaurna Warra Pintyanthi) at the university, to observe and promote the development of Kaurna. In 2012 the Commonwealth Indigenous Language Support (ILS) scheme provided funding for the project, enabling the establishment of a KWP team. This team included Stephen Gadlabarti Goldsmith ("Uncle Stevie") until his sudden death in 2017, among others.
In July 2016, he travelled to Aceh in Indonesia, where he and Zulfadli Aziz, of the University of Syiah Kuala in Banda Aceh, he conducted a language survey on two islands off the coast of Aceh, It was funded by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language.
In July 2017, the NAIDOC Week theme was "Our Languages Matter", and Amery spoke about Aboriginal languages on ABC Radio.
In 2019 Amery told an SA Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee that outcomes for Kaurna language programs were much better in the mid-1990s than they are by 2019, partly due to increasing focus on NAPLAN, and little incentive for or provision of professional development for Kaurna teachers.
As of December 2023 Amery is associate professor/reader at the University of Adelaide. He and his team (Mary-Anne Gale and Susie Greenwood) are working on the project "Sustainable Language Revival: A critical analysis of Kaurna", funded by an ARC Discovery grant. The team is working with Tauondi College "to build capacity within the Kaurna community to take on the roles of Kaurna language teaching and Kaurna language work".
Amery lists his research interests as:
Amery's thesis was slightly revised and republished in the Netherlands in 2000, as Warrabarna Kaurna: Reclaiming an Australian Language, and republished in 2016 "with revised spellings, additional chapter discussing developments since 2000 and reworked Conclusions". This edition is available as a free ebook.
Other published books include:
Amery has also published numerous articles, book chapters, course notes, reports, and other works, some of which are co-authored with Mary-Anne Gale and Jack Buckskin.
Amery is married to Ngarrindjeri linguist Mary-Anne Gale. | [

75,561,751 | Gordon van Haarlem | Gordon John van Haarlem (born 26 July 1956) is a Canadian outlaw biker who was one of the "Port Hope 8" tried in one of the most controversial trials in Canadian history.
Born in Peterborough into a working class Dutch-Canadian family, van Haarlem joined Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club as a teenager. He worked as a welder at construction sits. By age of 23, van Haarlem had a lengthy criminal record with convictions for assault, mischief, possession of an unregistered gun, theft, possession of narcotic, and possession of narcotics with the intention of trafficking. HIs nickname of "Dog Map" was originally "Dog Face", a moniker given in irony as "Dog Face" suggested that he was ugly, but in fact van Haarlem was considered to be handsome. The nickname became "Dog Map" as given to him by Gary Comeau in reference to his tendency to take winding routes in riding his motorcycle across the countryside. Van Haarlem was known as a fighter within Satan's Choice, and had his nose broken a number of times. He often stayed in Port Hope where he served as a babysitter for another Satan's Choice biker, Richard Sauvé when Sauvé and his wife went to concerts in Toronto.
On 18 October 1978, Lorne Campbell shot and killed William "Heavy" Matiyek at the Queen's Hotel in Port Hope shortly before 11 pm. On the same night, Sergeant Samuel McReelis of the Port Hope police arrived at the Queen's Hotel as the lead investigator. On 5 December 1978, van Haarlem was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the death of Matiyek. The charges promoted astonishment from the other bikers present at the Queen's Hotel as van Haarlem was not at the Queen's Hotel on the night of the murder. The journalist Paul Dalby wrote it was odd that van Haarlem was charged as he had an "airtight alibi". One of the "Port Hope 8", Jeff McLeod was to claim to a private detective in an interview on 6 February 1992 that it was common knowledge that van Haarlem "was screwing McReelis's wife" and that was the reason why van Haarlem was charged with Matiyek's murder. Donald Avison, the federal civil servant who reexamined the Port Hope 8 case in 1990 at the request of the federal justice minister, Kim Campbell, stated in an interview on 7 February 1992: "There's some suggestion that van Haarlem had spent some time with McReelis' wife".
For his defense, van Haarlem hired Donald Ebbs as his counsel. On 23 February 1979 at the preliminary hearing, Ebbs made an alibi defense as he called two witnesses who both stated that van Haarlem was drinking at the King George Hotel in Peterborough on the night 18 October 1978 and was not in Port Hope as the Crown had claimed. One bouncer at the King George Hotel testified that van Haarlem had wearing his club colors on the night of 18 October. On 19 March 1979, Justice Scullion ruled that the Crown had presented enough evidence to bring charges of first degree murder against van Haarlem. While awaiting his trial, van Haarlem was denied bail and held at the Peterborough jail. On 26 July 1979, his girlfriend Patricia gave birth to his daughter Amber. His request to visit his girlfriend to see his child was denied by the Crown. In August 1979, van Haarlem played a key role in scuttling a plea bargain from the Crown under which Campbell would plea guilty to second degree murder in exchange for the Port Hope 8 would plea guilty to being accessories after the fact and would serve four years in prison. Van Haarlem insisted that he should not have to do any prison time as he was not at the Queen's Hotel on the night of the murder, leading him to reject the plea bargain.
The trial for the Port Hope 8 began in London, Ontario on 4 September 1979. Along with David George Hoffman, van Haarlem was the only one of the Port Hope 8 who testified in his own defense. At the trial, only one of the Crown's witnesses, Helen Ann Mitchell, identified van Haarlem as present at the Queen's Hotel at the time of the Matiyek murder. She testified that she saw van Haarlem, Gary Comeau, Richard Sauvé, Larry Hurren and David George Hoffman all present at the Queen's Hotel engaged in a discussion just before the murder. Another of the Crown's witnesses, Susan Jean Foote, who knew Mitchell, was to testify that she could not remember seeing Mitchell at the Queen's Hotel on the night of the murder. Mitchell made a poor impression on the jury due to her rambling, often incoherent testimony. Many of her statements were vague as she failed to name the bartender at the Queen's Hotel on the night of 18 October as she stated she could not remember his name or face. The fact that Mitchell had only come forward to the police on Christmas Day 1978-two months after the murder-did not help her credibility along with the fact that she could not remember on the stand when she came forward to the police as she stated she "might" had done so a week after the murder, but was not certain on that point. Ebbs in his cross-examination of Mitchell forced her to concede that her memory was unreliable as she testified that she saw van Haarlem wear the patch of a "striker" in Satan's Choice in September 1978 when he was already a "full patch" member. Mitchell admitted that she often confused van Haarlem with Thomas "Tommy the Retard" Horner, but stated that it did not matter as both van Haarlem and Horner were Satan's Choice bikers.
In his defense, van Haarlem took the stand to testify he had been in Port Hope on 17 October 1978 serving as a babysitter for Sauvé and had returned to Peterborough the next day. He testified that on the night of the murder he had been drinking at the King George Hotel from 8:30 pm to 1:30 am. A number of witnesses testified that they had seen van Haarlem at the King George Hotel at the time that he claimed to have been there. The Crown Attorney prosecuting the case, Chris Meinhardt, was unable to present any evidence beyond the testimony of Mitchell that van Haarlem was at the Queen's Hotel on 18 October 1978 and his thesis for the guilt of van Haarlem consisted of bringing up his extensive criminal record, which filled an entire page of the trial transcript. In his final submission to the jury, Ebbs noted that numerous witnesses confirmed van Haarlem's alibi while the Crown's only evidence for his guilt was the testimony of Mitchell which was confused on a number of points. In an obvious reference to Hoffman whose alibi was supported only by other members of Satan's Choice, Ebbs noted that the alibi witnesses for van Haarlem were not members of Satan's Choice and had no connection to Satan's Choice. Ebb's tactics caused consternation among the other accused and the other defense lawyers. Meinhardt in his final submission to the jury accused the defendants of all part of a conspiracy to kill Matiyek and stated the accused were all equally guilty of first degree murder. Meinhardt stated that one witness had named van Haarlem as present at the Queen's Hotel and therefore urged the jury to find him guilty. The trial ended on 24 November 1979 with van Haarlem being acquitted on all charges.
Despite his acquittal, van Haarlem found himself the object of police attention thereafter and his attempts to have the Crown return his property that had been seized were unsuccessful. Van Haarlem moved to Alberta to put the case behind him and married his girlfriend. In Edmonton, van Haarlem attended a party with Campbell who came up for a visit. Campbell beat up a construction worker who had insulted Satan's Choice, starting a brawl that led to van Haarlem using a baseball bat to beat up the friends of the man whom Campbell had assaulted. Van Haarlem left Satan's Choice and turned his back on his life of crime as he now runs his own welding business in Stony Plain, Alberta. In 1988, he told the journalist Mick Lowe: "The coppers have the upper hand. It wouldn't be so bad if you just got pinched for the things you did. But they can pinch you for anything, any time they want". | [

By age of 23, van Haarlem had a lengthy criminal record with convictions for assault, mischief, possession of an unregistered gun, theft, possession of narcotic, and possession of narcotics with the intention of trafficking. HIs nickname of \"Dog Map\" was originally \"Dog Face\", a moniker given in irony as \"Dog Face\" suggested that he was ugly, but in fact van Haarlem was considered to be handsome. The nickname became \"Dog Map\" as given to him by Gary Comeau in reference to his tendency to take winding routes in riding his motorcycle across the countryside. Van Haarlem was known as a fighter within Satan's Choice, and had his nose broken a number of times. He often stayed in Port Hope where he served as a babysitter for another Satan's Choice biker, Richard Sauvé when Sauvé and his wife went to concerts in Toronto.",

On the same night, Sergeant Samuel McReelis of the Port Hope police arrived at the Queen's Hotel as the lead investigator. On 5 December 1978, van Haarlem was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the death of Matiyek. The charges promoted astonishment from the other bikers present at the Queen's Hotel as van Haarlem was not at the Queen's Hotel on the night of the murder. The journalist Paul Dalby wrote it was odd that van Haarlem was charged as he had an \"airtight alibi\". One of the \"Port Hope 8\", Jeff McLeod was to claim to a private detective in an interview on 6 February 1992 that it was common knowledge that van Haarlem \"was screwing McReelis's wife\" and that was the reason why van Haarlem was charged with Matiyek's murder. Donald Avison, the federal civil servant who reexamined the Port Hope 8 case in 1990 at the request of the federal justice minister, Kim Campbell, stated in an interview on 7 February 1992: \"There's some suggestion that van Haarlem had spent some time with McReelis' wife\".",

On 23 February 1979 at the preliminary hearing, Ebbs made an alibi defense as he called two witnesses who both stated that van Haarlem was drinking at the King George Hotel in Peterborough on the night 18 October 1978 and was not in Port Hope as the Crown had claimed. One bouncer at the King George Hotel testified that van Haarlem had wearing his club colors on the night of 18 October. On 19 March 1979, Justice Scullion ruled that the Crown had presented enough evidence to bring charges of first degree murder against van Haarlem. While awaiting his trial, van Haarlem was denied bail and held at the Peterborough jail. On 26 July 1979, his girlfriend Patricia gave birth to his daughter Amber. His request to visit his girlfriend to see his child was denied by the Crown. In August 1979, van Haarlem played a key role in scuttling a plea bargain from the Crown under which Campbell would plea guilty to second degree murder in exchange for the Port Hope 8 would plea guilty to being accessories after the fact and would serve four years in prison. Van Haarlem insisted that he should not have to do any prison time as he was not at the Queen's Hotel on the night of the murder, leading him to reject the plea bargain.",

75,561,778 | Frank Howell | Frank Jonathan Howell, DFC & Bar (25 January 1912 – 9 May 1948) was a British flying ace who served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. He was credited with having shot down at least ten aircraft.
Born in London, Howell joined the RAF in 1937 and once he gained his wings, was posted to No. 25 Squadron. At the time of the outbreak of the Second World War, he was serving with No. 80 Squadron in Egypt but soon afterwards returned to the United Kingdom and was posted to No. 609 Squadron. He flew in the later stages of the Battle of France, providing aerial cover for the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk, and during the following Battle of Britain. By the end of October 1940, he had achieved several aerial victories and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He commanded No. 118 Squadron for much of 1941 before being sent to the Far East to command No. 243 Squadron at Singapore. He was made a prisoner of war after the Battle of Singapore. He remained in the RAF in the postwar period, becoming commander of No. 54 Squadron. He was killed in an aircraft accident at the RAF station at Odiham.
Frank Jonathan Howell was born on 25 January 1912 at Golders Green in London, in the United Kingdom. He was a student at Chichester School and following the completion of his education in 1929, clerked at the Commercial Union Assurance Company. He changed vocation in 1934, becoming a mechanic at the Egham Motor Company. He later worked for Henry Howell & Co.
Howell joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in early 1937 on a short service commission. He commenced training on 1 March at No. 9 Elementary & Reserve Flying Training School at Ansty before proceeding to No. 3 Flying Training School at South Cerney two months later as an acting pilot officer. After he gained his wings in July he was posted to No. 25 Squadron. This was a squadron based at Hawkinge and equipped with the Hawker Fury fighter.
Howell's acting pilot officer rank was made permanent on 1 March 1938 and later that month he was posted to No. 80 Squadron. His new squadron, which operated the Gloster Gladiator fighter, was based at El Amiriya, in Egypt, as part of the defences of the Suez Canal.
Following the outbreak of the Second World War, Howell, who by this time had been promoted to flying officer, returned to the United Kingdom to take up a posting at No. 609 Squadron. His new squadron had only just become operational with Supermarine Spitfire fighters and, stationed at Kinloss, was flying convoy patrols. In May 1940, the squadron shifted south to Northolt from where it helped provide aerial cover for the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk. On 31 May, about 5 miles (8.0 km) to the northeast of Dunkirk, Howell shared in the destruction of a Junkers Ju 88 medium bomber. The following day he and another pilot combined to damage a Heinkel He 111 medium bomber over Dunkirk itself. He was appointed a flight commander in the squadron the same day.
During the early phase of the Battle of Britain, No. 609 Squadron was tasked with protecting Southampton and Portland, as well as the convoys plying the southern coastline. In the morning of 12 July, 3 miles (4.8 km) to the east of Portland Bill, he and two other pilots of the squadron shared in the destruction of a He 111 although this success was not confirmed. He claimed a share in a Ju 88 destroyed over Swanage on 18 July, but this was another victory that was unconfirmed. His Spitfire was damaged by return gunfire from the Ju 88 in the engagement and he bailed out into the English Channel. He was picked up by a launch of the Royal Navy.
No. 609 Squadron subsequently moved to the RAF station at Middle Wallop. Flying from there on 13 August, Howell shot down a Junkers Ju 87 dive bomber near Warmwell, and two days later destroyed a Ju 88 in the same area. He destroyed one Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter near Portsmouth on 25 August, also damaging a second the same day. When the Luftwaffe began to focus its attacks on London, No. 609 Squadron was called upon to assist and on 7 September, Howell probably destroyed a Bf 110 and a Ju 88 over the city. By this time he was a flight lieutenant, having been promoted to this rank earlier in the month.
Howell damaged one Dornier Do 17 medium bomber over London on 15 September and the same day destroyed a second to the south of Rye. He shot down a Bf 110 to the northwest of Portland on 3 October. His final aerial victory of the Battle of Britain was on 21 October, when he and Pilot Officer S. Hill shared in the destruction of a Ju 88. This was the 100th aircraft to have been destroyed by pilots of No. 609 Squadron. A few days later he was recognised for his successes in the fighting over England with an award of the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). The citation, published in The London Gazette, read:
This officer has shot down four enemy aircraft, has been partly responsible for the destruction of five more and has damaged several others. He has led both the squadron and his flight with skill and determination, which have undoubtedly contributed greatly to recent successes. Flight Lieutenant Howell's keenness and energy combined with his courage and leadership in many combats have set a splendid example to the rest of the squadron.
The following month, the squadron shifted to west to Warmwell where it saw out the winter months.
In February 1941 Howell was appointed the first commander of No. 118 Squadron, which had formed at Filton with Spitfires. The squadron became operational the following month, after a move to Pembrey from where it conducted patrols over shipping convoys. In April it moved to Colerne and began to be involved in the RAF's defensive operations over southern England. In the summer the squadron switched to offensive operations, often flying on sorties and escort missions to France as part of the RAF's Circus offensive while also carrying out its defensive patrols at night. On one of these, during the night of 7 July, Howell destroyed a He 111 over Southampton, the first aerial victory for No. 118 Squadron.
Howell was promoted to acting squadron leader in September and the following month, on 15 October he shared in the destruction of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter near Le Havre. He relinquished command of No. 118 Squadron later that month. He was subsequently awarded a Bar to his DFC; the citation for this read:
This officer has displayed fine qualities as a fighter pilot combined with outstanding leadership and talent for organisation. He has played a large part in raising and maintaining a high standard of operational efficiency in his Squadron which has greatly distinguished itself during recent operations. Throughout, Squadron Leader Howell has set an excellent example. He has destroyed at least 10 enemy aircraft and probably a further seven.
Posted to Singapore, Howell left the United Kingdom aboard HMS Prince of Wales and on arrival there on 2 December, took command of No. 243 Squadron. This was stationed at the RAF's station at Kallang and equipped with Brewster Buffalo fighters. Less than a week after his arrival, the Japanese invaded British Malaya. As they advanced to Singapore, it transpired that the Buffaloes performed poorly against the Japanese fighters. Despite this, Howell destroyed a Nakajima Ki-27 fighter to the north of Johore on 16 January 1942.
No. 243 Squadron was effectively non-existent by the time Singapore was surrendered to the Japanese on 15 February. The same day, along with other RAF officers, Howell tried to escape Singapore by an Air-Sea Rescue launch. The vessel was sunk by Japanese bombers, and Howell was captured on 16 February. He spent the remainder of the war in Japanese captivity.
Repatriated to the United Kingdom after being released as a prisoner of war, Howell remained in the RAF in the postwar period. After undergoing refresher training in early 1946, he proceeded to No. 17 Flying Training School in April. Two months later he was posted to the headquarters of Fighter Command in an administrative role. His acting rank of squadron leader was made substantive in November. Howell was posted to No. 54 Squadron, stationed at Odiham, at the start of 1948. Initially he was a supernumerary pilot but he was subsequently promoted to acting wing commander and appointed commander of the squadron in mid-January. On 9 May he was filming the landing of De Havilland Vampire fighters at Odiham when he was struck in the head by the wing tip of one of the aircraft. The impact resulted in a cerebral haemorrhage, causing Howell's death.
Buried at St. Mary's Churchyard in Felpham, West Sussex, Howell is credited with having shot down ten aircraft, three being shared with other pilots. Two further shared aerial victories were unconfirmed. He also claimed two aircraft as probably destroyed and three damaged, one of which was shared. | [

] | Frank Jonathan Howell, was a British flying ace who served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. He was credited with having shot down at least ten aircraft. Born in London, Howell joined the RAF in 1937 and once he gained his wings, was posted to No. 25 Squadron. At the time of the outbreak of the Second World War, he was serving with No. 80 Squadron in Egypt but soon afterwards returned to the United Kingdom and was posted to No. 609 Squadron. He flew in the later stages of the Battle of France, providing aerial cover for the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk, and during the following Battle of Britain. By the end of October 1940, he had achieved several aerial victories and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He commanded No. 118 Squadron for much of 1941 before being sent to the Far East to command No. 243 Squadron at Singapore. He was made a prisoner of war after the Battle of Singapore. He remained in the RAF in the postwar period, becoming commander of No. 54 Squadron. He was killed in an aircraft accident at the RAF station at Odiham. | 2023-12-14T08:11:19Z | 2023-12-24T08:30:41Z | [

75,561,793 | Eleutherodactylus jamesdixoni | Eleutherodactylus jamesdixoni (common name: Dixon's peeping frog, Spanish: rana fisgona de Dixon) is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to western Mexico and known from specimens collected in Jalisco, Nayarit, and Sinaloa.
This species was first described in 2023 and named in honor of American herpetologist James R. Dixon. It is the sister taxon of E. nitidus.
The male holotype of E. jamesdixoni measured 21.96 mm (0.865 in) in snout-vent length. Its dorsal surfaces have an irregular scattering of small tubercles and are colored a mottled pattern of dark green, tan, and pale orange, whereas its belly is a mottled black and white. The iris is split between a black lower half and a golden upper half. The tips of the third and fourth fingers are expansive and slightly smaller than those of E. nitidus.
This species is found in pine-oak woodland in the southern Sierra Madre Occidental range as well as the westernmost extent of the Eje Neovolcánico and Sierra Madre del Sur ranges. The three type specimens were found at an elevation of 1,992 m (6,535 ft) above sea level at night, calling from low vegetation.
As E. jamesdixoni is a very recently described species, its conservation status has not yet been determined and particular risks to its existence are unknown. | [

She was born and grew up in Japan, and studied theatre at Waseda University. Her Norwegian roots are in Setesdal.
Among her translations from Japanese to Norwegian are Banana Yoshimoto and Yukio Mishima. Her translation of Kobo Abe's Mahō no chōku was included in the Norwegian anthology of short Japanese texts, Knakketiknakk: Korte fortellinger fra Japan 1895–2012 (2018). For this book, Peters was a co-nominee to win the 2019 Norwegian Critics Prize for Translation.
After translating Yukio Mishima to Norwegian, she was commissioned in 2008 to translate Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler for the New National Theatre Tokyo, followed thereafter by The Lady from the Sea in 2015. Peters has written about various challenges when translating Ibsen to Japanese, among others the Norwegian attitudes to weather as well as swear words used by Ibsen, which were consequently changed from religious to scatological profanities.
In 2022 she was decorated with the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit for strengthening Japan–Norway cultural relations. | [

75,561,921 | Vasily Golosov | Vasily Ivanovich Golosov (Russian: Василий Иванович Голосов; 1911—16 August 1943) was a Soviet sniper during World War II who killed at least 422 Germans during the war before he was killed in action during a sniper mission.
Golosov was born in 1911 to a working-class Russian family in Belyov. After completing only five grades of school he worked at a drying plant before being conscripted into the Red Army. After finishing his service he worked as a school caretaker in Moscow before being re-drafted into the military in June 1941 due to the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
Recruited into the Red Army soon after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, he helped to pioneer the sniper movement within the 25th Guards Rifle Division. With good vision, he excelled as a sniper and earned promotion to lieutenant. He trained 170 other snipers and became the commander of a sniper platoon, since many other soldiers in his regiment (the 81st Guards Rifle Regiment) also wanted to become snipers. During the war he was in the heat of many intense offensive operations, including the Ostrogozhsk–Rossosh offensive, Voronezh–Kastornoye offensive, Kharkov operations. On 6 December 1942 he received his first award, the Order of the Red Star, for killing 140 enemy combatants. That year he became a member of the Communist Party.
Golosov increased his sniper tally, and on 16 April 1943 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for killing 295 enemies. On 26 June 1943 he was nominated for the title Hero of the Soviet Union for killing 422 Germans. He did not get to receive the award while he was alive, since he was killed in action by a mortar attack on 16 August 1943. He was posthumously awarded the title on 26 October 1943.
His tally of 422 kills was reported in many major Soviet newspapers including Komsomolskaya Pravda and Vechernyaya Moskva. | [

75,562,032 | A World Without Police | A World Without Police is a book written by historian and political theorist Geo Maher discussing police abolition and what society may look like with a transition from traditional law enforcement agencies to community-based policing.
The author, Geo Maher, became interested in police abolition following the killing of Oscar Grant in 2009. Following the incident, Maher began to teach a course at Vassar College titled "Global Policing, Prisons and Abolition" while working as a visiting associate professor.
In the first chapter, Maher discusses the Kenosha unrest shooting, writing that "self-deputized defenders of property and whiteness have almost always served as a brutal adjunct to the police", saying that American law enforcement agencies have been complicit in such behavior, including with border protection militias and lynch mobs. Citing W. E. B. Du Bois' Black Reconstruction in America where Du Bois wrote that poor white individuals served as a "special police force", Maher says that impoverished whites betrayed their class and oppressed African Americans during the Reconstruction era to maintain a feeling of superiority. Tracing the origins of law enforcement in the United States to the slave patrols and strike breaking groups, Maher states that "American policing has always been about two things at once ... racist fear and economic profit." With the latter, the author writes: "Police embodied the division of the poor and in their practical function they uphold that division every day, patrolling the boundaries of property and that most peculiar form of property that is whiteness."
Later, Maher writes that police in the United States have no legal obligation to protect the public, citing multiple federal court verdicts; in particular the author details how following the Parkland high school shooting, a court ruling determined that the local sheriff was not required to protect school students. He also examines data that shows that police in modern times does not prevent or reduce crime in a significant measurement, featuring a statement from David H. Bayley; "one of the best kept secrets of modern life ... police do not prevent crime." Regarding police reform, Maher notes that diversity in policing, police body cams and other initiatives have actually worsened police performance. Citing the Urban Institute, Maher says that "state and local spending on the police increased astronomically between 1977 and 2017, from $42 billion to $115 billion" without taking into account inflation and that over this period the militarization of police has increased.
Focusing on capitalism's relation to imperialism, the book delves into how United States policy forces individuals from their native nations and criminalizes them for illegal immigration. Maher writes that "the policing of imperial power has developed in conjunction with the domestic policing of colonized and formerly enslaved populations", criticizing the United States as a global policeman.
Finally, the book covers potential alternatives to traditional police forces. Maher suggests focusing on grassroots community safety groups, promoting restorative justice and funding after school programs. To achieve such an end to the established policing system, Maher says that an end of capitalism is required.
Publishers Weekly describes A World Without Police as a "provocative and well-researched polemic", writing in conclusion that "[t]hough some readers will take issue with Maher’s fiery language, his ample evidence and firm convictions make a persuasive case. This is an essential introduction to the case for abolishing the police." In NPR, historian Kamil Ahsan writes that "Geo Maher's vision may not get readers to see past the horizon into a world without police — but it is as convincing as any book can be that we must at least try." Kirkus Reviews says that A World Without Police is "[a] thesis sure to stir plenty of controversy but worthy of discussion."
Christian Noakes of Workers World wrote that the book "is both one of the most compelling arguments for police abolition and a complete depiction of the nationwide George Floyd uprisings" and that it is bolstered "by extensive historical documentation and journalistic rigour." | [
